This article has the lowest bar for inclusion of any tallest buildings list on Wikipedia; buildings as tall (or short) as 27m are considered worthy for inclusion. It fails
WP:LISTN for multiple reasons:
Firstly, the list has no navigational purpose as the overwhelming majority of the buildings featured are not notable enough for their own Wikipedia article. Those that do are buildings that are not known primarily for their height.
Secondly, this topic does not have
WP:SIGCOV in
WP:RS. Database listings in Skyscraperpage and Emporis do not constitute significant coverage.
I see no evidence that the topic 'List of tallest buildings in Fredericton' is covered as a group by reliable secondary sources but I am happy to be proved wrong here.
No significant high-rise buildings under construction or even planned currently so little chance of future notability; no point in sending to draft.
The whole article is currently a violation of
WP:NOTMIRROR in that it's just a copy and paste from Emporis.
The city is not the largest in Canada nor is it the capital.

The first reference is an essay by
Bertram Cohler about men in the gay pornography industry who wrote memoirs. It does contain significant coverage of Mr. Lawrence, and I have no reason to think it unreliable; but
WP:GNG requires more than one solid reference. (And the information about Mr. Lawrence is derived from his autobiographical writing, though the essay does contain independent commentary such as criticism of Mr. Lawrence's approach to commercial sex tourism.)
The second reference is a NSFW personal web page.
The third reference is a permanent deadlink; I think it's the same "about the author" blurb that appears on all of Mr. Lawrence's advice columns for OutUK (NSFW).
References 4-6 are more primary sources having to do with Mr. Lawrence's defunct NSFW websites.
Reference 7 is an award roster; please note that pornography awards don't count towards notability now that
WP:PORNBIO has been deprecated.
Reference 8 is a puff piece interview/profile in the book Award-Winning Men: Up Close and Personal with Gay Honorees. The publisher is a vanity press.
Reference 9: I don't have access to Best of the Superstars : 2000 : The Year in Sex, but nothing about it makes me think it's an appropriate source for a biography of a living person.
Reference 10 is a directory listing on a prostitution website featuring anonymous user-submitted reviews.
Reference 11 is a forum post, ostensibly by Mr. Lawrence himself.
Reference 12 is another award roster.
The article currently states that Mr. Lawrence revolutionised the field of male prostitution. That is puffery added by Benjiboi, an editor banned ten years ago for (among other things) promoting the pornography industry. I don't see it as a plausible claim of notability under
WP:ENT.
I looked for additional sources:
Here is another work by Bertram Cohler on gay autobiographies, with several brief mentions of Mr. Lawrence.
Here is more trivial coverage (two sentences), also by Cohler. The book Sex Workers as Virtual Boyfriends (a first-person narrative about hiring prostitutes) includes a quotation from Mr. Lawrence and information about one of his books.

@
Cbl62: I doubt being an FCS All-American or MEAC Defensive Player of the Year meets
WP:NCOLLATH, as FCS is basically third-tier amateur American football (after Power 5 and Group of 5 in the FBS) and the MEAC has typically been in the bottom half of FCS conferences this millennium. (Since 2015, the MEAC no longer sends its conference champion to the FCS playoffs, instead playing in the
Celebration Bowl. Before 2015, it had failed to send an at-large team to the playoffs in 12 of the previous 15 seasons: 2000–2002, 2004–2009, 2011–2012, 2014.) It appears you've found the same coverage as I did from The Virginian-Pilot, and the subject still needs significant coverage in additional sources to pass GNG. Eagles24/7(C) 04:56, 21 November 2020 (UTC)reply
As I said, NCOLLATH is unclear as to whether Division I FCS All-Americans qualify. In this case, however, we have someone who was recognized as a first-team FCS All-American for three consecutive years -- an extremely rare accomplishment. Further, your dismissal of the MEAC as the bottom of the barrel is misguided. The MEAC competes by choice in the
Celebration Bowl to preserve the heritage of
HBCU football and to determine the
Black college football national championship. And a review of recent MEAC Defensive Players of the Year (
Darius Leonard,
Darryl Johnson,
Javon Hargrave,
Joe Thomas,
Ryan Davis,
Stevie Baggs,
Justin Durant,
Rashean Mathis,
Tracy White) shows what a high-level accomplishment this is -- and Whitehead won the honor two years in a row. These are extraordinary accomplishments which lead me to resolve any ambiguity in NCOLLATH in favor of a finding of notability. This one is worth keeping IMO.

@
Cbl62: Looks like he was an AP first-team FCS All-American in 2009 (
[9]), but he's not listed on the 2008 team (
[10]) or 2007 team (
[11]). However, he was a three-time first-team All-Conference selection according to
his Norfolk State bio. To your other points, yes, the MEAC and SWAC chose not to participate in the FCS playoffs beginning in 2015, but those conferences also had not ever participated in an FCS title game going back to 1978. You can go along with their marketing strategy and say they're "preserv[ing] the heritage of HBCU football" but if they were actually competitive within the FCS division, they wouldn't have had to create their own championship game.
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS applies to your argument that because other MEAC Defensive Players of the Year are now notable for their subsequent NFL careers, that all players who win the award deserve articles. Eagles24/7(C) 19:13, 21 November 2020 (UTC)reply
Responding to Eagle247's two points above as follows:
(1) Just as in the case of FBS, AP is not the only recognized All-American selector. While I realize that AA claims are sometimes exaggerated, there are reliable sources referring to him as a three-time All-American. I found independent confirmation as to both 2008 and 2009 as follows:
2008: See "NSU's Whitehead an All-American 2nd year in row", 1/7/09 ("Whitehead is NSU's first two-time All-American since linebacker Kevin Talley in 2003-04."). Separately, he was also named to the HBCU All-America team. See
here.
2009: Named to the Division I-AA All-America team by the
Walter Camp Football Foundation. See
here (12/15/09) and
here (12/17/09). Also named to the SBN Sports Black College All-American Team. See
here.
(2) My listing of other recent MEAC DPOYs is not a case of "OSE". Rather, it was offered in response to your contention that MEAC was a bottom-tier conference and, more importantly, to show that MEAC DPOY is a notable award of a type that should appropriately be covered by NCOLLATH.
Cbl62 (
talk) 20:49, 21 November 2020 (UTC)reply
His Norfolk State bio says he was a third-team The Sports Network All-America selection in 2007 and 2008, and while I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt here, if he were named first-team All-America by any organization, his college would absolutely include it in that bio. So The Virginian-Pilot is correct that he was a three-time All-American, but your assertion below timestamped 19:13, 21 November 2020 (UTC) that he was a three-time first-team All-American is incorrect, and in actuality not a particularly "rare" accomplishment. I still strongly disagree that Whitehead somehow passes
WP:NCOLLATH based on the honors we're talking about here, as a conference DPOY and several second-tier All-Americas are not "national" awards, and GNG has still not been met. Eagles24/7(C) 21:45, 21 November 2020 (UTC)reply
I still don't think he's notable under
WP:NCOLLATH, was never covered outside of the paper which was going to cover whoever played for that club.
SportingFlyerT·C 07:24, 21 November 2020 (UTC)reply
"was never covered outside of the paper which was going to cover whoever played for that club". The comment is wrong on two grounds grounds. First, it wrongly assumes that the Virginian-Pilot gave this level of feature story coverage to "whoever played" for Norfolk State. This is way off base. As a three-time AA and two-time DPOY, Whitehead got an extraordinary level and depth of coverage in the Pilot. Second, it wrongly assumes that he did not get coverage of any type elsewhere. This, too, is off base. While the depth is lesser than in the Pilot, examples of coverage in other publications include the ESPN article cited at (3) above as well as the following further examples (available via ProQuest): (11)MEAC announces 2009 Preseason Football Prediction, Los Angeles Sentinel, 8/3/09; (12)HBCU All-America Team released Tuesday, Philadelphia Tribune, 1/2/09; (13)S.C.

The ESPN piece (item #3) should be readily viewable. If not, it says: "Defensive player of the year: Terrell Whitehead, Norfolk State defensive back. Whitehead is one of the best cover guys in college football. He had five interceptions and 37 solo tackles this season. Moreover, most teams tried to stay away from Whitehead because of his playmaking skills. And still, he had a brilliant year. He was a big reason why Norfolk State had the second best defense in the MEAC."

I also do not have access to the links provided, do any of them mention Whitehead outside of just listing him among another few dozen names? If not, I'm a little disappointed in this
WP:REFBOMB that will likely convince !voters who either don't have access to the Wikipedia Library catalog or don't look into links. I'm still looking for at least one other article from a publication besides The Virginian-Pilot that comes anywhere close to the level of focus one of those articles has on Whitehead in order to pass GNG.

I quoted the ESPN piece immediately above your comment. While not a feature story, it has 68 words focused on Whitehead -- i.e, far more than a passing reference -- and national coverage as well.

As for the ProQuest pieces, they were offered to rebut the assertion that he "was never covered outside of the" Virginian-Pilot. They are mostly brief references documenting his winning various awards. I did not suggest that these were in-depth pieces, and indeed the headlines (which I included) reflect as much.

@
Concertmusic: This article is one of many created a decade ago by a user with an affinity for Jacksonville-related athletes, and they did not seem to know/understand Wikipedia's notability criteria. I combed through their created articles to figure out which ones are actually notable, and nominated many for deletion that did not appear to be notable (12 have since been deleted through AfD or PROD). For this one, I added sources to include in the article to determine if the subject meets GNG, and when I realized I couldn't find enough to satisfy my interpretation of GNG, I brought it here. I only added a list of sources, no other improvements were made. GNG implies multiple sources are needed to pass the guideline, and I only found significant coverage from a single source. Can you state if you believe the coverage from The Virginian-Pilot is enough on its own to pass GNG, or if the blurb from ESPN.com is enough to satisfy the "multiple" part of GNG? That seems to be the point of contention in this discussion. Eagles24/7(C) 21:38, 30 November 2020 (UTC)reply

Since it has been ~3-4 months since this page was moved from draft: to main namespace without quality review, I think reverting it to draft space at this point would be a bit too much without consensus; hence I am starting this discussion. However, I think this page appears to be promotional and has a bunch of low-quality references, and it may not be ready for main namespace. I'd suggest incubating in draft space until the page has been moved by one of the
AFC reviewers.

Keep Just curious, what do you find "promotional" about this article? The album has been reviewed by numerous notable publications, I'm not sure what "low-quality" references you were talking about.

Keep - Something is wrong with this nomination. The article was created before the album was released, and at that point it may have been a candidate for the AfC process. But the album has now been released and many people other than the original creator have worked on the article. Claiming that it should go back to draft/incubation now would disrespect the contributions made by everybody else; and (reading between the lines) the nominator is insinuating without evidence that some process was violated when it was moved from draft to mainspace. As for the album itself, it has been reviewed by several reliable publications and others have offered verifiable information on its recording and release history. And the "promotional" accusation is untenable, unless the nominator can come up with a way to describe the album's existence and quote its good reviews in some other fashion. DOOMSDAYER520 |

Keep: clearly passes WP:NALBUM, far more than many other album articles. Low-quality references? This has been reviewed by almost every major English-speaking music publication (in addition to those already in the article, there are reviews from The Times, Evening Standard, The Spectator, Sputnik Music, The Wire and the Wall Street Journal). I don't really understand what incubating in draft space would achieve, as the album has been out a while and almost all the information for it will already be available. This is very likely to feature in many "best albums of 2020" lists in a month's time as well.

Social media pages, PR pieces (like album/song/concert announcements), videos, lyrics sites, streaming links, retail sites and interviews are not reliable sources. And these are everything I find when I search for these people. Not to mention those who create these pages are often COI/SPA editors, they only edit that one article, then they disappear into thin air. In some cases, said user might have other edits which saves him from the SPA accusation, but most of his edits revolve around the wannabe "star" so the promotion is still obvious. Like this case too. Look at the article creator's edits. He has edited other things too, but most of his Wiki activity revolves around this guy's page.

Something none of us noticed before: There was an earlier article for this musician with a slightly different spelling of his name, and it was deleted about six months ago at

Near the top of that older discussion, note how Ramsey555 was recorded as claiming that NazzKing was "my page" with an interest in how it appeared in search results. Ramsey555 was involved in that deletion discussion too, in a more subdued fashion but still claiming discrimination against African musicians.

notable as a musician. Also relevant here is the

There are three sites cited, one is an album announcement which I don't consider a reliable source since it's both trivial and promotional, the other is the band's own site which is not independent, and the last one is just about them supporting Veterans. They have only one album as of yet, and I couldn't find anything reliable about that either, just spotify and amazon. So this is a non-notable band, it's most certainly

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 (biographies) requirement.
WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. There are plenty of mentions in passing, but no reliable, in-depth coverage. The best source is a paragraph entry by in a reliable Polish newspaper
Rzeczpospolitahere, but again, it is not just about her, it is just a listicle about "stars of Polish business", and the quality is mediocre, as that listicle is, unsurprisingly, a summary of her resume. She has been included in a number of similar lists, but all others are from much less reliable/niche publications/portals (only two have articles on Polish Wikipedia, and one is so bad - a catalogue/promotional entry - I am going to AfD it there right now), raising further concerns whether this is not just promotion instead of proper journalism. Same for awards, they are all niche (not a single one seems to even have an article on Polish Wikipedia, suggesting a total lack of significance for them). Lack of significant coverage can also be seen in the structure of the article, which reads like a resume, with next to nothing of analysis of significance of the subject. Is having a good career and being mentioned in several minor listicles enough to pass

The encyclopaedic value of this article is extremely debatable. What difference does it make whether members of a particular family are appointed to positions in Indian cricket? The fact that people pointed to such positions may be related to politicians or other members of the BCCI administration is pretty trivial, encyclopaedically speaking. –

Draftify or delete. This is a great example of a list that has both a dubiously notable intersection ("List of brown-eyed CEOs who are less than 6 feet tall" may indeed be citable to RS but why does it matter?) and arbitrary inclusion criteria (what is a "political family"?) It's also extremely short and I don't think much would be lost by its riddance. That said, it does take a stab at asserting notability, which I can imagine being fleshed out into a good article by a dedicated editor. jp×g 14:45, 20 November 2020 (UTC)reply
JPxG, I agree, the article is short. I have added incomplete list template so that other editors be encouraged to add to it. However, in my opinion, this should be a stand alone list backed by reliable sources, otherwise it will lead to violation of

Keep
I am the creator of this article. This article was PRODed with three objections which I would like to address.@
PeeJay:
encyclopaedic relevance. BCCI has monopoly over cricket in India (no
WP:POVPUSH intended here, just stating facts) and is the richest member of the ICC. Naturally it's office bearers wield quite a bit of financial power, and in turn influence inside and outside cricket. Some office bearers of BCCI and its member Associations are known faces( Like former cricketers, Industrialists, politicians ). From 2010 to 2014 there have been attempts by the
Govt of India to control the BCCI, that have been largely unsuccessful to get through the Parliament. Another interference into BCCI administration came from
Supreme Court of India through the
Lodha Committee. Its reforms, if they are not being followed, can/should be monitored/addressed by Parliamentarians themselves, and any shortcomings should be highlighted in the public view. Both these events were prominent with plenty of coverage. Therefore this article has encyclopedic value, listing the political control in the cricket administration, whose presence may or may not have been instrumental in keeping BCCI independent of Govt/Judiciary control. Please note the the article itself does not have any of the above allegations and follows
NPOV.
I'm sorry, but if that's your rationale for this being a notable subject then it seems to me like you're trying to smuggle a political agenda in through the back door, especially if you neglect to mention the political aspect. If "we need to keep an eye on who gets elected to positions at the BCCI because some of them are related to politicians" is your reason for creating this list, then it fails
WP:ATTACK; if you remove that from the article, it loses all relevance, since it's not unusual for people who are related to one another to enter similar fields, especially when the BCCI is apparently a route into more mainstream political offices. –
PeeJay 16:52, 20 November 2020 (UTC)reply
PeeJay, My rationale to create this article is that it passes
WP:LISTN. I was addressing your point about the page NOT having encyclopaedic value. Also, there is no threat, criticism or unsourced material in the article. The tone of the small lead is quite neutral and not negative. I dont see how it fails

PeeJay 19:00, 20 November 2020 (UTC)reply
It seems like a smear piece. There is no smear campaign here. I agree the list is incomplete right now and many more people can be added from all sides of the political spectrum with citations from
WP:RS. This is the reason I put incomplete list template on top of the article so that other editors can add to it (like
jp mentions above). I will add more names myself to address this. However this does not attract
WP:ATTACK or any related reasons to delete the article.
I would also like to highlight that the office bearers are elected, not appointed/nominated by someone, as described in this nomination. Hence people from political background being in Cricket administration is not trivial, but by design.
This article passes
WP:LISTN. There has been plenty of coverage of politicians and their family members in BCCI and state associations. one example is

Most of them are routine sports reporting about games and appear in the local press (whether it's for high school, college, or the G-League) or from non-independent sources (like his college).

WP:NYOUNGATH. The CBS Sports is a two sentence transactional blurb. The others are blogs or non-independent sources from his college career and the remainder are game reports from his minor league basketball career.

6, 7, and 8 in particular clear all of those bars for me, but even the short mentions on CBSSports count as reliable in my book.

I think the article provides interesting knowledge, which I enjoyed reading.--
Concertmusic (
talk) 15:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)reply
If I've identified them correctly, one is a game report, which is specifically excluded by
WP:SPORTBASIC. The short mentions on CBSSports are also transactional and considered routine - they're two sentences, that's not
WP:SIGCOV at all. Finally, the student newspaper isn't independent enough of the subject. I think those are the sources you've mentioned, and none of them pass
WP:GNG. Whether you enjoyed the article has no bearing on its notability.
SportingFlyerT·C 16:00, 1 December 2020 (UTC)reply
The eighth source devotes several paragraphs to Occeus. Game reports don't count if it's just "Occeus scores 12 points and grabs 4 rebounds", but I'd consider that one significant. As I've mentioned, there are other sources that cover Occeus in detail as well. We do not need to discount his high school years, as GNG supersedes any notability guidelines. ~EDDY(
talk/
contribs)~ 20:30, 1 December 2020 (UTC)reply
We've gone through this before, but
WP:SPORTBASIC specifically excludes match reports, and
WP:YOUNGATH specifically excludes routine high school sports coverage... and those exclusions clarify which sources are
WP:GNG-qualifying sources. Your logic doesn't make sense, because it basically says "if a source exists, it counts towards GNG, even when other guidelines say those sources don't count towards GNG."
SportingFlyerT·C 20:38, 1 December 2020 (UTC)reply
Yes, and as I've explained before, Occeus is not a high school athlete, he is a professional basketball player. YOUNGATH applies to players while they are in high school, but is not a disqualification of sources from a person's high school period. Reasonable minds may differ as to what is considered "significant", but you are totally misreading the policy. ~EDDY(

Following
this RfC about splitting the list, several editors also made the suggestion of deletion. To quote some (but not all) of the rationales used in the RfC:
"The UK's Office for National Statistics reports, Of all death occurrences between January and August 2020, there were 48,168 deaths due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) compared with 13,619 deaths due to pneumonia and 394 deaths due to influenza. Nobody, I assume, is suggesting that we should be setting up
List of deaths due to influenza, and yet here we are trying to maintain that a cause of death that is 122 times more common is remarkable enough to be notable and listworthy."
"death due to COVID-19 was inherently notable earlier in 2020, it is no longer, just as we do not have lists for deaths from heart disease, cancer, or the flu."
"There have been over 220,000 deaths in the United States. I'd think this is no longer as significant as it was when the disease first broke out. In other words, it is too common to be usable as a list. " LugnutsFire Walk with Me 10:49, 20 November 2020 (UTC)reply
Delete while I am generally against removing information from WP, it takes a huge amount of effort to maintain that list properly, and I feel that the relatively small benefits to our project of it existing and being kept up to date properly don't really justify the enormous energy expenditure by so many great editors.

The list is large, but it is not indiscriminate. It has a specific criteria for inclusion, and it is timebound.

Keep/Split The comparison to pneumonia or influenza is flawed. SARS COV2 is a novel disease and this pandemic will last a finite amount of time. It is also an event of great historical significance. Influenza is a type of disease caused by a family of viruses that has been with us for thousands of years. Influenza and pneumonia will always be with us - they are not discrete events. A better comparison would be the
Spanish flu, which also was an event of great historical significance, as well as a novel virus and a pandemic that lasted a finite length of time. We have a list of notable fatalities for the Spanish flu.

Delete The list is, in principle, useful and worthwhile: I wouldn't have spent quite a bit of time on it, especially in its early days, if I did not think so, but, as I warned in March may happen, it has outgrown its usefulness. Eventually, I would suggest, whether the list survives or not is almost entirely dependent on a judgement as to how long a list can usefully be. 200 names? 500? 1000? 1500? As soon as it becomes necessary to split such a list for manageability, it loses the benefit of it being a list article rather than a category, and many editors have stated that it has reached that stage long ago. In relation to the comments about the Spanish Flu list: the number of people being listed here is approximately 900, and growing, while the deaths noted in the Spanish flu article is about one tenth of that; recentism and opinions on eligibility, factors of Wikipedia that did not exist in 1918, impinge negatively on this list; it is the determination of many editors to ensure that every person they hear about on their local news services is included here that makes this untenable and it is the incompleteness of the Spanish Flu list (arguably a weakness of it) that makes it viable as a wiki article.

I disagree that categories can serve as a replacement for lists. Categories are less useful to readers (can't be sorted, require you to click through multiple sub-categories to find information, etc), and are harder to maintain (you can't monitor membership by watching one article, you can't really include a citation for why a person is in a category). A tool that queried wikidata for a list of deaths and then presented results in a user-friendly format would be better, but that's not really something that exists within wikipedia as far as I know.

I was thinking of something more along the lines of a template that would run a query on wikidata and then present the results in a nice table. So you would have an article called
List of people who died of COVID-19, but there would be no manual editing of that article - when you went to edit all you would see was a template with a query and some presentation options. Then you could have a list that was sortable, had fields like age and brief description, but without the need for manual editing by wikipedia editors.

Split to much smaller sub-groups (e.g.,
List of people who died of COVID-19 in Italy or
Earliest deaths due to COVID-19 (i.e., removing everything after approximately April), or else blank and redirect the list to the main pandemic article (and maybe page-protect that redirect). This is no longer an encyclopedic list, and we shouldn't continue maintaining this list, but there's also no need to hide the history from any editor who wants to copy a source to re-use in a different article, make sure that the content is in the linked articles, etc. (For transparency, Lugnuts left a note on my user talk page about this; I assume that he contacted everyone else who had participated in the RFC that precipitated this.)

Keep or Split The list cannot be adequately replaced by the simple category, as categories aren't sortable and are unwieldy to use. Furthermore, Wikipedia and its editors can clearly maintain lists of people that are much longer (even if we do eventually have to split them for manageability) -- for example,
list of lesbian, gay and bisexual people. I can see the benefits of not listing every person who died on one page, but I don't think the list should be deleted entirely, per whatamidoing.

Keep and if need be, split. The rationales outlined for deletion, and comparison to making a list of deaths due to influenza, cancer, or heart disease (comparisons which usually come from individuals with a certain agenda, but whatever...), are outright nonsensical. Covid is not a cause of death that has become common, it is a pandemic, a single historical event which in itself warrants such a list, just like the
List of Spanish flu cases. It is notable and listworthy precisely because it has killed more notable people in a few months than influenza in decades. And since some people don't seem to get it, I will repeat it there: this is not a list of people who are notable for dying of covid, it's a list of notable people who died of covid. Others have already explained why a category would not be an adequate substitute. --
Pesqara (

If deaths due to COVID-19 were notable and listworthy this list would have over 1 million entries.

Strong Keep Pesqara explained it well so I won't repeat. This is another example of what wikipedia does best and possible only because of our position as the number 1 reference source in the world. Our cumulative efforts are better than any other source. We have people power, we have the legwork available and also the legwork for constant scrutiny of such a list. Breaking it up into more geographical smaller lists should also be done, but to rely exclusively on localized lists necessarily negates its usefulness on a global scale. Yes, editing this long of an article can tax computer and server data capacity. That problem certainly does not advise destruction of the information as a solution. I suggested breaking it into more manageable chunks that could be displayed as the whole article
two months ago. I got crickets. Suddenly now, this needs a radical execution? We are a living step in history. We have the technology to document what is happening. What is being proposed is to destroy that historical content, to achieve what goal? Brownie deletion points? Keeping this much of the existing information is inconvenient? Words are beyond me to describe the absurdity.

Keep. The list is already, by definition, a list of notable people who have died of COVID-19, and therefore not indiscriminate. There is already a

Keep/Split: I agree with Pesqara and Pheiduk's reasons (and I also agree with the people saying that this is a useful list). However, this list might [unfortunately] become longer and too long to read, which explains why I put "split" in my vote, thus agreeing with WhatamIdoing. Either split it by country or continent/region, or by the date of the notable people's deaths (e.g. List of COVID-19 deaths in the Philippines, List of COVID-19 deaths in Europe, or List of COVID-19 deaths (January-September 2020), etc.). I understand the reasons of those who are in favor of deleting this but I would like to reiterate the stance of those who want to keep it: COVID-19 is not comparable to the so-called "common" diseases such as influenza and cancer. Covid is a new disease, unheard of before this year despite being related to other coronavirus diseases. Not to mention that the same disease caused a pandemic of historic proportions, something unseen in the digital era.

The argument "we do not have lists for deaths from heart disease, cancer, or the flu" shows a lack of understanding of the nature of the disease. Cancer and heart attack will never have a vaccine. COVID is expected to eventually be eradicated.
Keep In my opinion, it is a notable list and it should stay, because the disease is the most important event of our time.

Delete The biggest problem with this list is that it is kept to those with very well diagnosed cases, ignoring the fact that in most locals there are a group of people who almost certainly died, and are thought by their medical doctors to have dies from this disease, but it does not quite meet the stringent requirements. It is also almost certainly a too short list, and tends to more often cover people currently or recently notable, and exclude those people we have articles on who last were truly in the public eye a half century ago. Somehow I suspect there have been a few past olympians who died from this disease and no one has noticed. Also, I think the fact that in several countries this is a significant portion of all deaths makes this too large and unruly a list. Beyond this, no one is really demonstrating why we need this list when we have a category for it and limit the list to people we have articles on.

Comment there are roughly 1 million articles on living people in Wikipedia, and roughly 7.7 billion people worldwide, so Wikipedia has one article for every 7700 living people.

John Pack Lambert (

There are in fact 785 entries on this list. So it appears notable people are more likely to die from this disease than the general public. It probably helps that there are so few notable people under age 18. Also the disease has been most intense in countries like the US where we are overrepresented with Wikipedia entries. In some other countries counted deaths may be disproportionately among the notable. Mexico has acknolwedge its death report is way too low, and some suspect India as well. On the other extreme the lzargest birth-year category in Wikipedia is 1989, so even though those under 18 are rarely notable and the longer people live the more likely they are to be notable considering notability is never lost once gained, our system disproprotionately in reality covers those who have become notable in the 21st century, and so there are probably many people who meet notability guidelines who have died from COVID-19 who no one has bothered creating an article on.

KEEP and don't split. Splitting will only make it more work to maintain. It's not even that big. If it gets too big remove detail rather than splitting. It doesn't even really need it's own references? It can serve as an index page that links to the death section of other pages. The inclusion criteria is simple, only include people who had a Wikipedia page prior to 2020. (Though, potentially you could split off a separate list of people who only gained prominence by their role in the situation? But that's unlikely to be justified for anyone outside Hubei?)

Irtapil brings up a good point. A major excuse being brought up is the size of the article. As of this writing, there are 934 references. They take up more than a third of the screen space. And
one of my pet peeves, how much data is being wasted in the unnecessary reference formatting (that multiplies hidden data usage)? Why are all these references here? Look at the editing patterns: A new entry is made, another editor deletes it because there are no references, and it either disappears or is restored with references. You are making each editor place extra data into the article. We have
WP:BEFORE. Before you delete, look it up yourself. In other words, know what you are talking about. But deletionist editors are so eager to pull the trigger that they get conveniently stupid. "Oh, I didn't have time." "I couldn't find it." Bullshit. All of these individuals included in this list have to be notable. They have an article. Put the reference to their cause of death there. Click on the link. By simply removing references on this page we could save close to 50 percent of the data. We ought to have a no reference (with a linked article referenced) policy on all list articles. Amongst a group of supposedly learned editors, we ought to have a no stupidity policy as well. I can dream.

excluding what they actually put on, in consequence of which large parts of the ecosystem in which art activities are manifest fall outside the main encyclopaedia-based resources. So I echo

Keep. The reception is quite substantial. It appears this character is asserted as a primary contributor to a rather well known trope in SNK video games. Two published sources in addition to sources from listicles and reviews are cited and quoted, but I am unable to verify them by searching on the internet to verify the nominator's assertion that they are trivial mentions.

But the
WP:NEXIST guideline asserts that notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. I don't believe I have seen any guidelines or essays which encourage the notion that cited sources are presumed to be trivial unless proven otherwise. Per an argument made under
WP:SEMI-N, notability is a term that covers the availability of sources for an article on a topic, it's not a goal in and of itself, which I've noticed is an ongoing theme with many of the AfD nominations. The practical application is that it is simply not possible to write a coherent, encyclopedic article regarding the subject topic if the existing sources do not sustain it. In my view, the article is coherent and has encyclopedic value with no OR, it isn't a
coat track article where reliable sources are used as a distraction from a lengthy in-universe plot section that's of little encyclopedic value. Also,
WP:BASIC which is related to the GNG guideline suggests that multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability if the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial by itself. Fictional characters are not subject to a topic-specific guideline on notability. The main substantial change in standards since 2009 is how articles are judged and assessed on quality, not on notability standards.
WP:EMSC suggests that the SIGGCOV guideline leaves the definition of significant coverage wide open to personal opinion and circumstance and that is integral for AfD to not become a rule-following system and to allow for discretion in edge-cases.

It has already been demonstrated that the character is discussed by third party sources, and the article passed a GA review at one point. Per
WP:NEXIST and
WP:PRESERVE, I maintain my stance that this should have gone through a GA reassessment or the page editors (the people knowledgeable on the subject) before being nominated for deletion. Processes exist for a reason. Every policy and guideline also says that "The sources in the "Reception" section aren't the best" on its own is a poor reason to nominate something for deletion (WP:NEXIST,
WP:DELREASON,
WP:ARTN, WP:PRESERVE,
WP:ATD, and the list goes on...). That doesn't reflect
WP:GNG one way or the other. As of now, I don't believe it has been substantiated that this topic is "better suited for Wikia" (which in itself is a subjective claim). Darkknight2149 05:04, 15 November 2020 (UTC)reply
The article passed a GA review in 2009, many GA's and FA's from back then have since been delisted for not holding up to current standards. But nothing says a delist is required to delete if an article is clearly not notable. There were many of these types of
WP:REFBOMB articles created then.
WP:NEXIST does not apply when all the references are trivial mentions such as: "Omega Rugal topped off the package with one of the most stylish boss designs in fighting history, although more than a few gamers grew to hate the sight of him."ZXCVBNM (
TALK) 15:22, 15 November 2020 (UTC)reply
WP:NEXIST states "The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus, before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search." Not only does it always apply, but in situations where an article has previously passed a GA test or already has sources that may not seem satisfactory, it is actually more applicable, not less.

Keep: There are sources out there that establish Rugal Berenstein as a notable KOF character, including its development so, deleting this despite the number of references already in place prior to this discussion is a step backwards.

Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed
Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement.
WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by

This is a without-prejudice decline, feel free to AfD it.". Fair enough, let's do the trial by fire here.

This article was nominated for deletion via PROD on November 28, 2010. PROD was contested two days later. Despite the 10-year span that has passed since the PROD, this article is forever barred from a subsequent PROD, therefore I nominate it here.
The lawsuit was filed in an Illinois circuit court, the lowest court in the state. Cases that are decided in the lower courts are rarely notable, unless they meet the general notability guideline. The complaint was soon withdrawn after it was filed; therefore the court never took meaningful action on the case.
The article cites to two sets of sources: one written by the Digital Media Law Project, and the other written by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Both websites are self-published, and therefore carry little weight in establishing notability. I am unable to find additional sources on Google web search or Google Scholar.

This stub article is unsourced (and has been tagged as such since 2009) and has only 1 incoming link. The title is ambiguous with
Sprint car racing. There has been plenty of time to correct the
WP:OR status.
Shhhnotsoloud (
talk) 12:47, 10 November 2020 (UTC)reply
Comment - I'm not sure what's best for this article. In case anyone has any doubts, this is most definitely a real sport which has no connection with
Sprint car racing (eg see
[51]). However, apart from the Australian circuit version (which I'll get to), Sprints are rarely discussed as separate from
Hillclimbing, as they are effectively the same thing except not actually up a hill (the same as what I'll call "British style" hillclimbing that is, which takes place in Britain and Australia and potentially other places which is on much shorter tracks than hillclimbing in Europe or America), and often a minor hillclimbing championship will include some sprints, and sometimes events which probably should be called sprints (due to not being strictly up a hill) are called hillclimbs anyway. In Australia it can mean either the British version or something closer to what might be called
Time Attack as it is held on a circuit with multiple cars on track at the same time, or sometimes something in between. I'm not sure if the term is used much or at all outside of the UK and Australia.
Long story short, I do think the topic warrants mention on Wikipedia, but I'm not sure how since there are plenty of sources which discuss "British style" sprints (but generally not separated from hillclimbing) but not necessarily (m)any which discuss the Australian/circuit version.
A7V2 (
talk) 00:36, 11 November 2020 (UTC)reply
@
Shhhnotsoloud: The issue there is that sprints are not discussed on
Hillclimbing (indeed the only usage is once in the "British Isles" section which requires that one know the term, and in the external links. I don't think it's appropriate to say that in Australia it may refer to
Time attack given that sprints have been around much longer than time attack, and both exists as distinct (albeit with strong crossover and similarity, although I'd argue less similar than hillclimbing and "short" sprints as run in Australia) sports in Australia. I'd err on deletion until someone (perhaps me if I get around to it) can add something appropriate to the hillclimbing article when a redirect could be created (and really a lot of what might be added probably belongs more on
Hillclimbing in the British Isles), and perhaps add a section to Time Attack but then that still leaves issues of hatnotes and such. Perhaps a merge to
Glossary of motorsport terms would be more appropriate for now since any separate article would likely not be much longer than the current one anyway.
In summary, I think delete with either no redirects, or redirect to
Glossary of motorsport terms if/when relevant material is added there.

Delete as not notable. I don't see anything to redirect. Someone should at least be able to find something on "Car sprint", so we are not advancing neologism, and we would be redirecting what exactly? Being "aware" that something exists (but with no sources) is not a very compelling rationale for inclusion or redirect. Some one sentence
dictionary style paragraphs are actually just confusing and makes it appear as a hoax.
Otr500 (
talk) 12:55, 24 November 2020 (UTC)reply
I'm a bit unsure why you would describe it as a neologism since for example sprint events are discussed in C.A.N. May's 1951 book Formula 3: A Record of 500cc Racing. Admittedly in context the word "car" is not added, this is done more as a disambiguation in this case. I'm not saying the topic is definitely notable enough for its own article, but to say it is a hoax is bizarre. For examples, a "UK style" event in Australia
[52] and an "Australian style" championship in Australia
[53]. There isn't a huge amount of coverage of events in independent sources however, eg
[54] (but then 2020 isn't the best year!). As I said above, I think best would be to add the term to
Glossary of motorsport terms and only then create redirects if/when I or someone else gets around to it. I'll probably give reference to the Macquarie Dictionary of Motoring when doing this.

Butler reference cited in the comment above appears to be merely a trivial reference.
