Clearly a fringe theory. The sources shake out as so: 1) things Duncan published himself, 2) unreliable blogs and websites, 3) passing citations of energy consumption in certain countries and unit conversions (which raises WP:OR and WP:SYNTHESIS questions), 4) the fairly nice IEEE Spectrum article, which mentions Duncan and the Olduvai theory only in passing. Additional links in "Further Reading" are either passing or mention the theory only in combination with the rest of peak oil. I suppose a merge to peak oil might be an option, but this has so many bad smells that I'd rather just delete it. Apocheir ( talk) 21:48, 3 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply. I'm assuming all the sources are reliable and the publishers are corporately independent from the topic organization - but there's more requirements than that for establishing notability. WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Not a single reference either mentioned above or in the article meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing ++ 20:07, 13 February 2022 (UTC) reply

General aviation crashes are very common and rarely notable unless somebody notable is on board. WP:NOTNEWS applies. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:18, 10 February 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Ahunt: the article author has added additional information to the article after you wrote this describing air industry changes in Iceland resulting from this incident, you may want to take another look. RecycledPixels ( talk) 23:51, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply
I did see that and tried to read the refs, but they are all scans of newspapers in Icelandic, which is not my strongest suite. It is possible that they support the claims of changed procedures, or not. It would be helpful if someone could translate the para or two about what changes were instituted and post them here, so we can evaluate the evidence. - Ahunt ( talk) 23:56, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply
I used this link and then Google translate to get the gist of it. RecycledPixels ( talk) 00:03, 12 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Thank you! That was helpful. I think there is enough evidence in that report that the accident resulted in an increased meteorology budget and changes in dissemination of weather information that this qualifies under WP:LASTING. Accordingly I am happy to change my position to "keep" on that basis. - Ahunt ( talk) 00:08, 12 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - wp:aircrash.-- Marc Lacoste ( talk) 06:38, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep passes WP:GNG with the sources already in the article. Light aircraft accidents might often be lightly covered around the world, but they often get heavy coverage in Iceland and this is still being covered almost 40 years later. For instance, seven years after the accident, it received a two page coverage in Morgunblaðið, the largest newspaper in Iceland, in 1993 [2]. In 2020 the largest television and radio operator in Iceland, RÚV, featuring the accident in a three part radio show (which was previously available here until August 2021 and archived here but MP3 recordings can be accessed here). With multiple significant coverage, including none-news stories, in at least 1986, 1993 and 2020, there is no denying that the article passes the general notability guideline (GNG). Closing admin should also note that wp:aircrash is not an official Wikipedia guideline and thus an invalid argument. He might also note that WP:GNG does not require that anyone involved in the accident has to have been notable. Alvaldi ( talk) 07:48, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • The coverage also included this three-page feature from 1987 in Helgarpósturinn, that the nominator had removed from the article (I assume in good faith that he was unaware of its content), that covers the accident and its aftermath thoroughly, amongst it the effects of the accident on the goverments regulations regarding passenger compensations for plane accidents. So now it has significant coverage from at least 1986, 1987, 1993 and 2020. Alvaldi ( talk) 08:56, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Regarding WP:LASTING, the accident resulted in changes made by the Civil Aviation Administration and the goverment in regulations to increase the flow of weather information between pilots and the Icelandic Meteorological Office. It also led to an overhaul of "how air operators' logbooks, brochures and other educational material published by the Civil Aviation Administration are used in pilot training and retraining, e.g. in the aptitude test."

WP:BLP of a musician, not reliably sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. The only notability claim really being made here is that his music exists, and the only reference being cited is his Last.fm profile, which is not a reliable or notability-making source -- and rather strangely for a musician from Greece, there doesn't seem to be an article about him on the Greek Wikipedia from what I can tell, with the Arabic Wikipedia being the only thing in the interlangs (and that article's in an even worse state than this one, to boot, with no footnotes at all and written entirely in bullet points instead of actual sentences.)
As I can't read Greek, I'm more than happy to withdraw this if somebody who can read Greek can find enough reliable source coverage to salvage the article -- but nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to be referenced considerably better than this.

Effectively a dumping ground for trivia about non-notable characters. Fails WP:LISTPURP as none of the entries are blue links, fails WP:NLIST as no source discusses the entries as a group, and fails WP:NOTPLOT as the article consists entirely of plot trivia. Was deprodded on the promise of a source, but that turned out to be a Wikipedia mirror. Entirely unsourced. Avilich ( talk) 21:10, 10 February 2022 (UTC) reply

I wouldn't support a merge here since the plot information is specific to each character, and unlikely to be of use in the broader article of the TV series itself. That a single sentence can be added to each character's entry in the main article is so trivial that a formal merge seems unnecessary. Moreover, it's not an article I would have created to begin with, since, again, it's effectively unsourced. Avilich ( talk) 18:26, 15 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Probably delete, although ideally I'd like to hear from Asperix first. Although the article lists a decent number of references, they all seem to merely mention that e.g. Aspley "claimed the wooden spoon" in 2021, without actually discussing the topic of VFA/VFL wooden spoons. The list therefore seems to fail WP:LISTN, and there doesn't seem to be another list purpose the page would fulfil. – Tera tix ₵ 09:27, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician, not reliably sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because it's possible to verify that they exist -- the notability test requires them to pass one or more achievement-based criteria, and to have media coverage independent of their own self-published marketing bumf. But the referencing here is almost entirely of the "music metaverifying its own existence on Spotify, Apple Music, CD Baby or YouTube" variety, except for one citation to a WordPress blog, with not even one reference to a real, reliable or notability-building media outlet shown at all. Nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced much, much better than this. Bearcat ( talk) 15:29, 10 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Leaning keep. It's worth noting that there is an unexplored commercial angle, as there are numerous versions of the item that can be bought, ranging from cheap plastic children's toys to efforts to make a realistic metal sword. BD2412 T 18:27, 10 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep This both a fictional item and a toy. Both their histories and some of their impact are described based, at least in part, on secondary sources. There may be a little too much plot-information, but we do have a full article here. So under which critereon is there "Certainly not enough coverage to have it's own article"? In addition to the commercial angle pointed out by BD2412, there's also a psychological angle as appears in this academic paper and this PhD thesis, though I cannot see how extensive that is, seeing only previews. This also has a bit more to say on the sword. Daranios ( talk) 20:05, 10 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    @ Daranios Uh, I downloaded the paper (through LibGen) and I don't think it even mentions "power sword". The very word sword appears in it three times, the best I see is a single sentence where the "ever-present sword" is listed in passing as one of the "phallic" elements of the show. Likewise, the mention in the PhD thesis is passing, the sword was one of several toys used in some experiment and is not discussed or even introduced. The third paper has a sentence that states (in the context of He-Man never hurting living creatures) that "Throughout all 130 episodes of the original cartoon, He-Man’s The Power Sword was only used for blocking other weapons, blocking laser blasts, and removing obstacles and he never even punched anyone (robots don’t count)". That's it. Now, the book. Page 31 offers a short plot summary: "Another element brought about early on was the Power Sword, though it would evolve over the next two years, as well. It was introduced as a “key” to Castle Grayskull, needed to open the great drawbridge of the skull’s mouth and access the great powers inside. To protect the castle, the Goddess split the Power Sword in two and scattered those pieces across Eternia. Only when they were united could someone gain entrance and become a master of the universal power kept within." and bit about the relevant toy "The multiple versions of the Power Sword are easily explainable by the realities of these first action figures: the swords that most characters were packaged with all looked like that. The tiny swords were made to fit together like in the stories. The thinness of each one’s plastic led them to curve from heat and regular play." There are a few mentions throughout the rest of the text but in the context of passing and trivial plot summaries (ex. p. 61 " The two battle it out, the Power Sword countering every spell the villain summons.", p. 63 "Atop Castle Grayskull, He- Man raises the Power Sword and says...", or p. 163 "He-Man dives after his father, and the two manage to stop their decent by jamming the Power Sword into the rock wall."). Page 94 in the context of this live action adaptation, I think, informs us that "The Power Sword prop was large and unwieldy, nicknamed “The Buick Slayer”" and there are a few sentences about how he actor trained with the mock up broadsword. Page 152 tells us, in the context of some new Mattel-related He-Man, that "The Power Sword went through a redesign to include a green laser blade.". That's it, I checked each and every one of the 90+ mentions of the word sword in this book (I love Z-library...). I am afraid this is very much not enough if these are the best sources we can find (given nobody else has anything, and the article still has zero reception/significance). If someone cares, maybe something from the sources I analyzed above could be merged somewhere, but just as I concluded in the last AfD, this toy is simply not notable enough for a stand-alone article. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:23, 15 February 2022 (UTC) reply
@ Piotrus: For Toying with Identity, and Children an Agressive Toys, that my be it, I can only see the previews. What was the result of the experiment in the latter? The preview of Masters of the Universe: Children's Toys as Reflections on Contemporary Psychoanalytic Theory contains "...conferred upon Prince Adam the capacity to become transformed into He-Man. All he must do is lift his sword high in the air and shout, “By the power of Greyskull.” Prince Adam, now the mighty He-Man...". So it talks about our sword here, even if it does not use the name. An identification of it as a phallic element may be good only for one sentence of analysis, but there it is. We have two sentences about how popular the toy was, a reception of sorts. And if we look at everything currently based on secondary sources in the article, we have several paragraphs of material, including plot-summary, but also history of the toy and publication history of the fictional item. So taking everything together, like for Jclemens, that's enough for me, even if it does not amount to a stellar article. Daranios ( talk) 18:48, 15 February 2022 (UTC) reply
You can't cobble the appearance of WP:SIGCOV from two or three mentions in passing... Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 19:05, 15 February 2022 (UTC) reply
@ Piotrus: Well, if the argument is amount of coverage: We have an article of several paragraphs, and this would remain the case even if we cut out the unreferenced (i.e. based on primary sources) parts. That's what WP:WHYN requires in that regard. Daranios ( talk) 08:14, 16 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Which doesn't change the fact that SIGCOV is failed here. If you disagree, please show me which source cited contains more than one-two sentences of analysis (not just plot summary) of this object. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:19, 16 February 2022 (UTC) reply
How He-Man Mastered the Universe supports about six sentences beyond plot-summary in the current version of the article. These are a bit of thought behind the sword, but mostly the toy's history. Everything else currently there is shorter. But, as usual, WP:GNG does not say that significant coverage needs to be done with any one specific source. In my opinion, it just has to exist in total. Daranios ( talk) 12:25, 16 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per the above coverage. The nom's argument to "delete and redirect" is unsupported by policy and arguably would be prohibited by WP:ATD as unnecessary. Jclemens ( talk) 21:57, 10 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: The existing sources are enough to demonstrate notability. — Toughpigs ( talk) 16:19, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect. Please see my analysis above for why the sourcing is very much not sufficient. Ping User:Jclemens ("per the above coverage") and User:Toughpigs ("existing sources") who think otherwise. Did any of you actually look at these sources at all? Or are you referring to some other sources, and if so, please tell us what they are. TIA. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:25, 15 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    • I hadn't, but I see your source analysis and find that's still enough to be non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. Sure, more would be nice, but again, we're dealing with a pre-Internet TV show here. Jclemens ( talk) 17:28, 15 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep if it’s had sufficient cultural impact to have a toy line it’s had sufficient cultural impact to have a Wikipedia article. Artw ( talk) 17:27, 16 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Toy lines don't have any bearing on notability if sources haven't troubled to take note of the topic in question, and the sourcing here is very limited. At most there is the coverage of the toy line itself which Daranios mentioned, but that doesn't seem substantive or sustained enough, and, if Piotr's analysis is right (it's the only detailed one as of yet), any real-world coverage this fictional sword has appears to be limited to trivial mentions. A sum of failures of SIGCOV do not make one success of it, so I guess I would support redirecting for now, however unlikely this will happen at this stage. Avilich ( talk) 21:52, 16 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to He-Man and/or other related articles. Yes, there is coverage, but it is mostly not about the sword as such (as a fictional item or as a toy), but about the He-Man character, his series and the merchandising for it, of which the sword is but one element. An item with the cultural prominence of Excalibur this is certainly not. It should be covered, per WP:DUE, in the context of the show and its characters. Sandstein 10:50, 18 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Has the Sword of Protection actually been included in the WP:BEFORE search? It gives a number of hits. Now I assume that many of them are plot summary, but it would be the duty of the nominator to check that. At the least this paper discusses the symbolism of the sword, especially of its destruction at one point. Daranios ( talk) 14:28, 18 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    That's just more sourcing that doesn't discuss a sword independently of the character. The symbolism of that sword to She-Ra belongs in She-Ra's article. ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 14:37, 18 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    @ ScottishFinnishRadish: I can partially agree, it's possible to use that to discuss the sword as such and it's symbolism, or to discuss it at She-Ra. However, why are we then discussing deletion here rather than split, merge and redirect? I would be fine with that as an alternative to keeping the article, if relevant information that is not yet in the three target articles were to be preserved, and if the merge would come before the redirect. I don't see simply removing what has been gathered here either by deletion or redirection in the hope that someone will re-research it elsewhere or merge it later as a good way to go. As I am not exactly in the position to set conditions, I'll stay with my keep opinion (and I still see a stand-alone article as an effective solution), because alternatives could be solved in a clean-up afterwards at any time.

Fieari, could you please retract your aspersions? I consider aspersions a personal attack, you accused me of BITING when I have been nothing but civil with the editor who created this article, please which part of what I just said above is “Biting” ? I made factual statements which are all corroborated easily. In-fact look at our civil conversation I am very much offended by your aspersions against me, furthermore you stated that I “sounded angry”, which i found strange as “tone” can’t be interpreted over text, i was literally relaxed & laying on my sofa without an iota of anger or frustration when making those comments. I’m offended by this aspersions because I put in very conscious efforts to be polite and simultaneously precise/concise when interacting with my co-editors, Please can you be so gracious as to retract your aspersions or in the very least apologize, for assuming wrongly?

  • Comment — This is to note that the editor above is the article creator. They produced this Vanguard source which is unreliable as the byline is missing “the staff reporter” which invariably means we are dealing with an opinion piece which we do not consider reliable. Generally, when dealing with articles on business people, organizations or entertainers or any topic area which may be prone to less than ethical practices, we want to see reliable sources being optimized. Can this reliable sources be brought here for thorough analysis? In the very least at least three good sources that satisfy WP:RS & are in accordance with WP:GNG I’m afraid, If not, it is my opinion that this is a NACTOR fail. Celestina007 ( talk) 20:21, 26 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep with no prejudice toward the nom as this is a very close call. He appears to have a regular role on a notable show but the debate above is about NACTOR and needing multiple notable roles by that guideline, with the rebuttal that he's been a producer in other things. So I'm left with looking at the broader general notability guidelines and there I find that this article's subject has himself been the non-trivial subject of multiple (in this case exactly 2) reliable secondary sources, the Guardian and Vanguard. So he only barely passes general notability, but a D is indeed a passing grade. - Markeer 23:42, 26 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment — Markeer, Hello MKR, as stated on my TP that I wouldn’t comment here except expressly pinged, I’ve been deeply troubled since I made that statement(I would expatiate on this below) the apple of discord here is for any editor to bring forward sources, please can you be so kind as to show me the sources you found, the truth is, In as much as I try to ignore this AFD or comment any further, I have this huge feeling of guilt that an article that falls short of both NACTOR & GNG would be retained on mainspace due to honest mistakes on the part of editors unfamiliar with Nigerian sources(I am an expert on this) I am troubled because as a Nigerian(well I’ve lived here for 20+ years now) & I know as a matter of fact that the subject we are currently discussing doesn’t satisfy both NACTOR and GNG, MKR, I would be extremely grateful if you can show me the sources you found so I can do a source analysis. This isn’t an attempt to make you change your !vote, no, rather it is an attempt for me to do a source analysis on the sources you found and if you stick with your !vote that is indeed your prerogative and I would speak no more, all I’m begging for at the moment is a chance to do a analysis for you on sources you said you saw and as aforementioned if you stick to your !vote, in the spirit of consensus I would bow out, all I’m asking for from you or any editor to bring all the sources that substantiate their notability & as aforementioned, a chance to do a source analysis for everyone to see, I would draw up a source analysis table and assess each source presented. Celestina007 ( talk) 22:03, 27 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Celestina007, I published the article on mainspace, you moved it to draft in quote, you stated "Not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources." I obliged to that, by making sure it was rewritten, please note: The interviews questions, are independent of the subject, to help establish notability. Without the series of questions, no media house in Nigeria or the world can successfully write an article independent of the subject, without the help of these interviews, which are been published by reliable sources. Also, I will love to bring to your attention, the article was submitted through AfC for review as requested by you. As Markeer stated above, I'm also bringing to your attention, the AfD was nominated for failing the requirements of "WP:NACTOR", this is the debate. It all said, it clearly meets this. In WP:Interviews, it states "it is okay to sparingly use interviews to source some facts", this was what I did in the article. Remember the article is a "Stub". WP:Interviews are accepted for WP:GNG, if only it been published by a reliable source.-- Afí-afeti ( talk) 06:22, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
@“ Afí-afeti, First of all this comment by you: “The interviews questions, are independent of the subject, to help establish notability. Without the series of questions, no media house in Nigeria or the world can successfully write an article independent of the subject” is not supported by any policy here, and generally isn’t a factual statement, investigative journalism would be in variance with that wrong assertion. Let’s keep that aside, & focus on policy; GNG requires independence from the subject & Interviews are not independent of the subject thus they do not meet GNG, they can be used to verify certain trivial facts just as how WP:VENDOR's work, but it can’t be used to substantiate major notability claims, and this is also stated in Wikipedia:Interviews, please see this information. Lastly, I didn’t state "Not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources." that is auto generated message, although my draftification generated it. As I said in my TP and here also, I do not want to bludgeon, and would only return if I was pinged to do a source analysis, i was pinged & I have done a source analysis. The rest is left for the community to decide, my work here is done. Celestina007 ( talk) 19:19, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Source Check Request - @ Celestina007: I don't think there's any need to bow out of commenting on this AfD... we're all here to build an encyclopedia, I think we're all okay now, and I believe your insight would be valuable. I see on your user page that Nigerian sources can be... complicated... with regards to reliability. Could I formally ask you to review the other sources on this page in this light? Specifically:
    • PM News Nigeria - If (and only if) this is a reliable source, this is a strong indicator of WP:GNG as it is an article expressly about the actor in question in far more than a passing mention. It also has a byline, unlike the vanguard source you checked above.
    • The Guardian - This is a similar kind of article as the PM News one, expressly about the subject in detail. It has a byline.
    • Daily Trust (archived) - Another interview article with a byline as above.
    • Bella Naija - I think I can already see just by looking at it that this isn't a reliable source.
I'm not claiming that I think these are reliable sources, I'm asking... are they? How can we tell? Thank you. Fieari ( talk) 00:11, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Fieari, great. you have cited 4 sources and I’d analyze them accordingly, let me start by referencing the first source briefly before we delve into the crux of analysis, now, contrary to what you think, it is indeed a reliable source but that piece is unreliable, let’s begin the analysis, first source is credible but an unreliable piece, because it is literally based on an interview on a different platform, a portion of that piece reads Speaking with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu in a recent interview, the piece literally relied on an interview, and interviews aren’t independent of the subject thus doesn’t count towards notability the second source is is at best now a WP:QS, see one of the reasons here and even worse still, it is an interview thus doesn’t count towards notability as it isn’t independent of the subject which is required by WP:GNG. the third archived source is an interview thus can’t count towards notability as it isn’t independent of the subject. GNG requires in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject, and that piece falls short of the standard requirement. As for the fourth and final source, you are apt. it is a gossip blog which is pretty much self published, lacks editorial oversight and has no reputation for fact checking, a huge fail of RS. Celestina007 ( talk) 01:07, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Are interviews really excluded from establishing notability? There's editorial control over who they interview, after all. The selection of questions, the editing, and the context they provide all seem like things that could establish notability. Fieari ( talk) 01:38, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Fieari, GNG requires in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of a subject, an interview is not independent of the subject thus is in variance with a core aspect of what constitutes notability as detailed in WP:GNG which requires absolute "independence" Do you get the drift? An interview is not independent in the sense that the editorial is publishing a literal interaction with the subject. Having said, let me expressly state that interviews are not without use, You see, Interviews are treated in the same manner we treat primary sources, that is, they can be used to verify information that is relatively trivial such as age, full name, college attended and things along those lines, they however do not count towards notability but only serve predominantly to satisfy WP:V When it comes to claims of notability we discard primary sources and employ or make use use of WP:IS. Furthermore to comprehend what I’m saying better look at Wikipedia:Interviews. Like I stated, elsewhere I wouldn’t bludgeon the the AFD process, and except I was pinged to do a source analysis I wouldn’t comment anymore. I believe I have just done so, thus my work here is done. I did this analysis not to make you change your mind nor that of anyone else but to show everyone that the sources are very unreliable in this context. If you need me to expatiate please ping me. On a lighter note, Did you ask how I can tell reliable sources from unreliable sources? Barkeep49 was my tutor at NPP academy, I learnt from the best Celestina007 ( talk) 02:05, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Fieari, looking at Celestina007's link to Wikipedia:Interviews, you'll see it's got an interesting section on Notability. Basically it comes down to this: you need to decide whether the interviewee sought out the interviewer, or vice versa. If the interviewee managed to wangle themselves a TV interview, it means nothing (except they've got a big wallet or a good agent). If the TV station independently, and without encouragement from the subject, decided the interviewee was worth interviewing, this supports their notability. But even so, the interview is a poor source for actual information, so unless there's some other source available, we find ourselves suspecting that someone's notable, but having nothing reliable we can say about them. I'm grateful for input from those who, like @Celestina, know the local sources and their attitudes to paid-for interviews. Don't get me started on paid-for award-nominations!

Keep Justice Ofori is the Commissioner of Insurance in Ghana a very high profile Government of Ghana position which the person is nominated directly by the president to that office. This person meets WP:NPOL since his office is tied to the tenure of the president of the republic of Ghana. This makes the subject meet WP:GNG, I am at a loss why you claim he is not notable with the abundance of third party sources we have provided. The organization he heads is a very reputable Government of Ghana agency which regulates Insurance in Ghana. I shudder to think a head of such institution which is a constitutional body can not be said to meet WP:NPOL. Owula kpakpo ( talk) 15:25, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Fakelore hoax with all sources stemming from a single common web article. Google search gives scant results, seems to be not remotely notable. Toogs ( talk) 11:24, 2 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Folklore or Fakelore by its very definition, is substantially untrue. Make sure you cancel all the characters on this Wikipedia page wile you're at it: /info/en/?search=Tall_tale — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ray.lowry ( talk • contribs) 13:52, February 3, 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete "Folklore" is a story that has been passed down, is told in many cases, and has wide use. The factual reality of the story is not what matters. Some stories are in fact true, but most are fiction. We have articles on fiction. That is not the issue. Our articles on fiction cover things that have recieved coverage in reliable sources. So in the case of folklore, it is a story widely shared in various formats. True, most of the forms folklore is shared are not directly documentable, it is parents telling stories to children, teachers repeating stories, cub scout leaders telling stories, etc. However there are ways to document that the story does exist. We lack the documents here to show that this is a widely told of character who is widely spoken about. So there is no evidence that this is a generally accepted person in the existing folklore. So we should delete the article, unless someone can find sources that shows that this is an existing character in the folklore. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 15:27, 3 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    To add to this, I called this out as a hoax because the article confusingly presents itself as genuine folklore. If it were to remain, it would need to be extensively rewritten to clarify that Cordwood Pete is a relatively recent invention with a specific source. Regardless, I'm not advocating the article be deleted by virtue of fakelore, but rather (as above) general notability. Toogs ( talk) 21:43, 3 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Preliminary Keep or Merge to, I guess, Tall tale#United States. About notability: The story (Invented by that homepage? Can we judge from anything besides circumstantial evidence?) is taken up in detail in the travel guides by Eric Dregni [8]/ [9]. There is a short description of the house in Minnesota Open House, and more about the figure himself in Minnesota Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities. Unfortunately I don't get a proper preview, but Google shows me the start of the story, so it does not seem insignificant. This scholarly source (published in the Russian journal "Philological Class") does not give any details, but it does call Cordwood Pete a "folklore character". Is there a reason why the fact that the figure made it into the travel guides (no matter his origin) should not count towards notability? Daranios ( talk) 08:31, 4 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    Good points about notability, but I would caution against including Cordwood Pete in any list that implies genuine folklore. The obituary of Fosston mayor Arvid Clementson says:

    In his tireless effort to promote Fosston, he created the "Cordwood Pete" legend, which has generated a statewide interest for tourism ... Proceeds from his Cordwood Pete activities were designed to support local tourism activities including Fosston's Annual Heritage Days.

    This, the dubious claim of a "time capsule" found in 2001, and the fact that no older references exist leads me to believe that Cordwood Pete is purely an invention of the 21st century. I'm concerned these secondary sources (some of which seem rather tongue-in-cheek) are, knowingly or not, perpetuating a hoax. It feels wrong for Wikipedia to do the same. I think if the article remains, its first lines should reflect the information in the above blockquote. Toogs ( talk) 20:00, 4 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    @ Toogs: Now that obituary is a good find! Even if editorial control of that site is not clear to me, it is a source that makes clear that the character is a recent invention, without us as Wikipedia editors having to put that together somehow. So I would still like to keep the article based on the secondary sources found, even if they are not very auspicious, about this "legend, which has generated a statewide interest for tourism". But I wholeheartedly agree to a rephrasing of the introductory part along the lines you've suggested. Daranios ( talk) 20:59, 4 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep per Daranios. This needs careful rewrite as it may be a hoax that generated secondary coverage sufficient to become notable. Looking at the sources, Midwest Marvels is a 2006 touristy book, but published by a reliable institution ( University of Minnesota Press) and the author is an academic ( Eric Dregni). It talks about the time capsule and such. Was Dregni duped? It's not like his article adheres to high academic standards, but it is not for us to say he was duped or not, I think. I have trouble accessing other sources (snippet view/copyright), but Dregni's treatment suggests some notability. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:28, 5 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Okay folks, I am the culprit who created this page. If you read the 2010 version [ https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Cordwood_Pete&diff=374808000&oldid=374761266 ] it has five citations, including the obituary referenced above (although the site it connected to is now a paid-search site). It began with the sentence "Cordwood Pete is a tall-tale character.." and currently reads "Cordwood Pete is a fictional character..." I also inserted the generic pictures of lumberjacks. This all began when I visited Fosston and stopped to use the bathroom at the museum/gift shop the locals claim was Cordwood Pete's home. I looked up the name on my phone (literally while sitting on the toilet), was amused by the several references I found, and created the page when I returned home. Excuse the heck out of me for perpetuating the myth created by residents of some small town in Minnesota. It was not my intent to create a hoax. If you google "Cordwood Pete" several dozen sites pop up, about half of which obtained their info directly from the Wikipedia page. That says something about the reach of Wikipedia. But Pete is also mentioned in several travel books, to include one in German, and one academic tract in Russian about modern mythology. My feelings will not be hurt if you delete the page. I would rewrite it, and make it acceptable to all of you, but though once very active in Wikipedia page creation, I not longer know how to really do it. As you can see, I no longer even know who to even sign off correctly. Have a good day.

While that section could be expanded a bit with information from the sources listed above, I would not recommend an actual merger, as the only true secondary source being used in the current article is being used to cite the information on the time capsule, which, based on the evidence above regarding Cordwood Pete being a relatively recent invention, is highly dubious.

Ó Fathaigh

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

This seems to be either a hoax or a bunch of very hard to verify WP:OR with a few reliable bits thrown in to make it look believable. For example, the forefather "Fathadh mac Aonghus", is not to be found in Google Books and doesn't seem to appear in reliable sources in Google otherwise [10]. "Cormac Ó Fathaigh" is said to be the first with the surname, but again all traces of such a person are missing [11] [12]. The episode with "Uilic de Burgo": equally unverifiable.

The sources used in the article either don't support the article, or are copies of Wikipedia.

Note that the name O Fathaigh obviously exists, and some information about it can be found from reliable sources, e.g. here. But that doesn't excuse the existence of an article which seems 90% made up around these few facts.

If this is indeed largely a hoax or unverifiable, then a number of other articles will need to be looked at as well (e.g. Fathadh mac Aonghus and Tadhg an tSleibhe Ó Fathaigh exist here since 2009, but are completely unverifiable). Fram ( talk) 16:32, 2 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Hi, I wrote the article, so as you might expect, I think it should stay on Wikipedia. My reasons are that it meets GNG, it's a notable publication that is widely cited in authoritative academic literature. Every sentence of the synopsis is cited secondary high quality academic sources, and I've quoted various high quality, independent, secondary sources that cite it:
  1. This paper from La Trobe University
  2. This paper from Conflict Sensitivity Resource Facility
  3. It's cited dozens of times on this report from Tufts University to the point where it was probably the main source and influence for the whole publication
  4. This publication is from the same publisher, but different authors, so you could maybe argue it either way.
  5. This report from N.E.S.T.A.
  6. Since the AfD started, I added another citation from the Centre for Humanitarian Leadership I had missed it first as they spell localisation with a "z".
I wouldn't just say it's notable, it's a meta analysis of every paper that's been published on Localisation (humanitarian practice), probably the most important publication on the topic. I recognize that humanitarian topics are not well covered in wikipedia, but this is a very important document in the decolonisation of humanitarian aid and it absolutely deserves to be on Wikipedia, in my humble opinion.
I see very little activity at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_International_Development sadly, and yet they are the group who I think would most likely see it like me, I hate how humanitarian and international development stuff is so absent here, if anyone can do the thing where we fairly let people know without trying to bias the result, they should be aware that this is up for deletion, I think. But as I note the last time a AfD was discussed there it was me who proposed deletion and nobody replied or acted, so <throws up hands in despair> lol CT55555 ( talk) 21:56, 26 January 2022 (UTC) reply
I didn't add them in, because I'm not sure if it counted or not, but some extra websites that spoke of the publication are:
Save The Children here
The Red Cross here
Google Scholar tells me it's quoted in Hugo Slim's 2022 book, but I don't know how much, so didn't add: Slim, Hugo. Solferino 21: Warfare, Civilians and Humanitarians in the Twenty-First Century. Hurst Publishers, 2022.
Google scholar suggests it's quoted here, but again I don't have access https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/%E2%80%98As-local-as-possible%2C-as-international-as-Wilkinson/82b4a174675c7f23ccb8caf1fd421a607e771e7c

  • Comment I checked in here today, I thought a decision would be made by now and ended up reading the policies...I found myself here /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability_(published_works), specifically the General Criteria for published works and also the criteria for academic works, both which seem somewhat relevant. The more I read them, the more it seems very clear to me that this publication is very specifically meeting the criteria. It is the subject of multiple, non trivial publications that are independent of the source, it is influential within its area of influence. I hope the final decision on this will follow the guidance on notability for published works. CT55555 ( talk) 23:50, 2 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Merge into a section of Overseas Development Institute. It's very rare for an individual paper/report to have a stand-alone article, and rarer still when there's an obvious home for material about the report (like an article about the entity that produced it). For a stand-alone article, we need more than just citations, which is largely what these sources are. We need in depth coverage of the report itself, and preferably published in peer reviewed publications. The bar is relatively high, in other words. Think, like, Two Dogmas of Empiricism level of significance. Otherwise a good report is, well, a good source to cite on Wikipedia. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:53, 5 February 2022 (UTC) reply
User:Rhododendrites I delayed replying, hope more people would comment. Naturally, I'd prefer a merge than a delete. But here's an attempt to persuade you: I recognise the point you are making, but this is more than just citations. Indeed most of the sources here are just a citations, but if you consider the Tuff's report, it's a major influence for the whole paper. OK, so it's not formally peer reviewed, but it's published by a university, so it probably literally is peer reviewed. The quality of the other thinking that this has influenced is really quite high. So I think nobody could argue that it's rare for a report to have a stand alone article, but I say this report is that rare exception, it's a meta analysis of all of the thinking on the topic, it's important.
And if I didn't persuade you against the merge, I would say that the ODI page is indeed a suitable home for this, but I don't think people go to the ODI page to learn about localisation, so maybe (and maybe not, this is a suggestion) Localisation_(humanitarian_practice) would be the more logical merge to? CT55555 ( talk) 00:03, 10 February 2022 (UTC) reply
It still does not strike me as enough coverage of the subject to overcome a merge, but I'd be curious what others think, too. As for where it should be merged, there are actually two questions built in: where should the content go, and where should this article title redirect a reader. It sounds like it makes sense to add some content about it to the localisation article in addition to the ODI article, but as for where the report title points to (where it redirects), I'm still inclined to point to the entity that produced the report, which in turn could link to the localisation article. If this report were the basis of the whole concept of localisation, such that it were inextricable from that subject, then that might work as a redirect, but it would be unusual. Some of these questions are a matter of style/consistency. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:08, 10 February 2022 (UTC) reply
On the specific point of the redirect, I agree on the style/consistency point. I think if merge is the consensus (I don't support that consensus) then the ODI page could do with a paragraph on this and the localisation page could do with a section on this report, or something of that quantity. Relisted for the second time, but alas Wikipedia seems to have low interest for humanitarian stuff, which ironically is why created this article. lol CT55555 ( talk) 13:54, 10 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Are you aware that nominator has submitted this article for speedy deletion and, after this request was declined, moved it to a weird name, then AfDd it the next minute? gidonb ( talk) 17:19, 10 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Under these circumstances a procedural keep is in order. Then see what can be made of the article, following the rules. Then it can still be discussed. If you do work by the rules you are not supposed to make name changes during AFDs so the name (change) that several people mentioned is very problematic for our discussion. gidonb ( talk) 11:22, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply
@ Gidonb: If you keep making false allegations like that against me, which is a form of personal attack, it is up to AN with you. You seem to be foaming at the mouth to keep this crap article, which is bit of a puzzlement since it is no more than an information note, two bits of news glued together and non-encyclopedic failing WP:NOTNEWS, and specific to one country. You also seem to trying to WP:BLUDGEON the whole argument, driving away other editors, instead of letting it flow freely, which is another reason to go to AN. scope_creep Talk 11:49, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Purely speaking on timing, not merit as I have not evaluated the content thororoughly: @ Gidonb your facts are out of order here. @ Scope creep renamed the article prior to initiating the AfD. There's no issue with doing so at all Star Mississippi 14:31, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Scope creep renamed the article prior to initiating the AfD. Right. That's EXACTLY what I said! I did not say that moving is forbidden. I said that a non-contributor (any) to an article moving it to a weird name, next minute nominating creates a problem as we cannot or should not move it back. Next respondents are going to check the contents versus the title, as happened above. Any initiator of an AfD should give success and failure of an AfD a fair chance. AfDs are about letting the community decide on optimal solutions for the article in a collaborative spirit. Please do not make this more personal than the nominator already did. My comments are purely about the principle. I stand 100% behind my conclusion that, given the circumstances around this AfD, it is best to close in a procedural keep. Let people improve the text and title. Then nominate if still relevant. I do not decide on all that. Others do. gidonb ( talk) 15:53, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply
You also said you are not supposed to make name changes during AFDs so the name (change) that several people mentioned is very problematic which @ Scope creep did not do. That's all I'm saying. I'm not sure which of you is right, or wrong content wise, but accusing one another of doing something you didn't doesn't help a discussion. Star Mississippi 21:35, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Your quote of me, you are not supposed to make name changes during AFDs so the name (change) that several people mentioned is very problematic, refers to what we should not do AFTER the AfD has started. I stand 100% behind this statement and have proudly repeated it here moving it to a weird name, next minute nominating creates a problem as we cannot or should not move it back. I did not accuse anyone of anything. This is behavior that was assigned to me by someone else and clearly does not apply to me. I noted that this AfD has a problem baked in because of the sequence of events around the nomination: change into a weird title THEN nomination. I analyzed the problem and suggested a constructive solution. No single person can do better than that! gidonb ( talk) 22:08, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Now while I did not accuse anyone of anything, there were several false accusations against me here that are VERY annoying. I'll leave it that for now. gidonb ( talk) 23:37, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply
I raised my eyebrows at the last-minute change of name, as it might be interpreted as an attempt to compromise the article before a deletion nomination. I asked Scope creep to explain this change but they do not appear to have done so. However, this wrinkle is insufficient reason for a procedural keep, and we should assess the article in the normal way. 'Amazon shipping to Israel' is too narrow a topic for a useful article. We might usefully have an article on Amazon's shipping operations worldwide, or possibly on Amazon's activities in Israel (although we don't have corresponding articles on Amazon's larger markets), but this article is too far from either of these to form a useful starting point. The current text cannot easily be merged into Amazon (company), which does not have geographical sections. None of the other articles in Template:Amazon appear to be a viable merge target, soo I favour delete, as the only remaining outcome. Verbcatcher ( talk) 00:14, 12 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete The topic is an Amazon service, shipping to Israel, so WP:NCORP applies. None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability as they are all entirely based on company announcements with no "Independent Content".

  • Delete. There is a complete disjoint between the title and the content. The original title was a bit clearer (and I don't think it should have been renamed prior to nomination!) although that title just makes the non-notability of the topic more obvious. The content seems... weird. Taken at face value it is a scattered set of facts that do not add up to a coherent or notable subject. It seems like we are being invited to join the dots but to what end? Even if I am right about that, I can't see exactly what narrative is being sketched here but I assume it falls foul of WP:SYNTH. -- DanielRigal ( talk) 22:03, 13 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete aside from the name drama, which could be solved editorially, there is still no content that adds up to an encyclopedia article here. Without that, no amount of fixing will address the issue. There were shipping issues to Israel. Maybe this could be covered within BDS Sanctions, but that doesn't even appear to be a fit nor is it a significant enough issue. Star Mississippi 22:54, 13 February 2022 (UTC) reply
