The result was delete. Setting aside the procedural issues, the substance of this is quite clear cut; the primary argument for deletion is that GNG is not met; and this has not been refuted. Multiple sources provided at the previous AfD, which keep !voters there and here refer to, are unreliable per WP:RSP; the argument that the rest are not substantive is persuasive.

I'm not sure the subject meets WP:N general notability guidelines. He appears to have gotten some media attention on Fox News for interviewing Kyle Rittenhouse before the shootings, plus media criticism coverage from Mediaite where Schaffer complained about Zionist influence. Everything else is from non-RSs: right-wing blogs and similar publications ( National File, PJ Media). In short: I don't think the above stories amount to the level of substantial or sustained coverage necessary for a BLP. Ich ( talk) 13:01, 6 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Note: At the time I created this AFD, I wasn't aware it had been listed a month ago. Revisiting the previous AFD listing, Such-change47 provided a set of links. Out of the four links, I judge MEAWW to be clearly non-RS, and Blaze Media is Schaffer's employer. Mashable and the Daily Beast are okay as sources as per WP:RSP but I still don't think this is enough RS coverage for a BLP. Also pinging Kiwichris and DFXYME who participated last time.- Ich ( talk) 13:12, 6 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Relisting comment: While there was an AFD as recent as a month ago, and it is normally bad practice to renominate such an article for deletion so soon... WP:CCC states: Editors may propose a change to current consensus, especially to raise previously unconsidered arguments or circumstances. As there was a) limited participation in the prior AFD, b) as the nomination argument here is distinctly different than the prior one, and as c) commentary now refutes some of the sources provided in the prior AFD... I think it is reasonable to allow this to remain open for further discussion.

  • Weak delete It doesn't seem like this page would quite meet GNG based on the sources in the article or the ones found in the previous afd. BuySomeApples ( talk) 06:15, 21 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Delete - Not seeing WP:BIO. We have two sources about how he participated in the storming of the capitol and a couple mediaite posts. It's not nothing, but it's not quite enough. There's also a WP:BLP issue in that if we base this article on those sources, it would be entirely negative. As for the previous AfD, someone linked to four sources, two of them in unreliable sources, and two other people "per"ed them. The last person added five more unreliable sources (for the purposes of notability anyway). Obviously it couldn't be deleted based on what participation there was, but a very low quality discussion is a fine reason to renominate. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:42, 22 February 2022 (UTC) reply

We do not have articles on individual television markets in the United States, and this one is not notable on its own. Further, the definitions of TV markets are proprietary information. In 2008, we were slapped with an OTRS ticket for overuse of TV Designated Market Area information from Nielsen Media Research, so this is more sensitive a topic than it might appear on first blush.

There is already a navbox and a category for this market, which should suffice as navigation. This article does not need to be here, and having it here creates other concerns because of the Nielsen issue. Sammi Brie (she/her •  t • c) 21:06, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to The Batman (film) as per Sumanuil. The sole purpose of redirects is to leave a trail leading to relevant information from that deleted article. I was almost leaning towards draftifying the article, but then again, a redirect would be more useful at this point, at least until the film gets released and the article gains slightly more relevance, at which point it could potentially be re-created in draft form. Liamyangll ( talk to me!) 22:51, 22 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • My issue with Redirecting is that the term "Batverse" is not yet even the official term for this version of the character. The phrase was used offhandidly by Matt Reeves in a single interview while discussing his hopes for the franchise, and does not appear to be any kind of official designation. In fact, the term is not even used at all in the actual article on The Batman (film). Hence, I have strong doubts on how plausible of a redirect this actually would be.

You have a point there, but is there an official term? Sumanuil 02:13, 23 February 2022 (UTC) reply
At the moment, no. I'd also like to add that I'd probably oppose this article being recreated after the film is out, too. It's still going to be a fork with little that wouldn't be outside The Batman's scope. JOE BRO 64 03:21, 23 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Can you clarify your statement on Lydia Lavelle? She definitely drew a lot of media attention. Shouldn't our notability reflect that? Are you aware that we are already at 3 mayors with articles? Do you believe others are notable as well? If so, which ones? gidonb ( talk) 12:54, 9 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Well-referenced list. It provides historic and encyclopedic information that is too detailed for the main article. It can also serve as a redirect target for mayors that are not always notable. The fact that the mayors are not automatically notable was already pointed out by others. gidonb ( talk) 23:56, 30 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Among the reasons for keep I will add that the list already has three notable mayors with their own articles, strongly undermining the premise of this AfD. Most likely, additional mayors are notable as well. This list helps navigating to real articles and puts these in historic perspective. gidonb ( talk) 15:20, 6 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. We need reliable sources to support a list like this, not primary ones, but three of the four footnotes are the latter. And while the fourth is real media, one reliable source isn't enough all by itself to support a list of almost entirely non-notable people, since it only supports one name in the list.

There seems to be some talk of how, starting with Nelson, Carrboro's seen a total of three gay/queer mayors, all in recent history and how that's a somewhat unique trend, especially in North Carolina.

  • Merge. While the mayors themselves are mostly not WP:NPOL, inclusion of their names in a reasonably referenced list like this seems acceptable.

Three mayors have articles at present and probably more are notable. Shouldn't our recommendations be information driven? gidonb ( talk) 12:46, 9 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Have to throw some cold water on that, Carborro is a small town famous in NC for its hipster character, but not for its political leadership. Eleanor Kinnaird has an article due to her status as a state senator, not as mayor. I tried to demonstrate Michael R. Nelson's notability because he got press coverage outside of the region and by state and national LGBT publications for being the first gay mayor in NC. Lydia Lavelle seems to have been written for similar reasons, though the article's current sourcing doesn't demonstrate an imprint beyond Orange County. As I suggested before, searches for state and national media attention due to the town's recent LGBT mayoral leadership might produce some material, but we can't just assume it exists. - Indy beetle ( talk) 07:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Flipping obvious merge to Carrboro, North Carolina. When the only significant source is a list drawn up for the town centennial, it shows we've gone way past the limits of notability. There's no need for a separate list. I wouldn't oppose outright deletion either, given that it's just a list of names with no other information. Mangoe ( talk) 18:26, 12 February 2022 (UTC) reply
I'll add that the three recent mayors of some slight note are not a justification for the other eighty-plus years of apparently barely recorded officials. It's a safe bet that the city article already notes the several firsts anyway. Mangoe ( talk) 18:31, 12 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Well, your "safe bet" is wrong, but since the article is so small a merge probably could be done under the "Government" section. I agree that there is probably little of note about most of the mayors up to the 1990s. Merging the list though would be preferable to deletion. - Indy beetle ( talk) 07:59, 14 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I believe there is value for this project to keep verifiable lists like this one, even if based on primary sources.

The Hawaiian dictionaries do not mention a goddess under lona (cf. Pukui/Elbert: [3]; Andrews: [4], [5]; Parker: [6], [7]). The standard references for Hawaiian mythology refer to Hina and do not mention any Lona (cf. Beckwith and Westervelt). Jan Knappert, the Dutch author of the referenced Pacific mythology: an encyclopedia of myth and legend published about African and Asian mythology preferably and nothing in any Polynesian language.

  • Keep. I'm not buying the argument that we should delete an article on the basis that it is not mentioned by certain sources. To start off with, not being in dictionaries is fairly meaningless when we are talking about a minor diety rather than a word. The link to the Westervelt source is in a work titled Legends of Maui: and His Mother Hina. Since our article makes no claim that Lona was Maui's mother (or even mention him at all) there is no obvious reason why we should expect to see her in there. That just leaves Lona's omission from Martha Beckwith's rather old (1940) work as the evidence that "Lona" is an error. Against that there is the Knappert source in the article. Belittling Jan Knappert because he mostly published about Africa doesn't wash. He is obviously a skilled linguist with Hawiian included in his multiple degrees and his relevant work here is reliably published by Harper-Collins. If that was the only place Lona was mentioned there would be a good argument here, but it isn't. I'm seeing Lona in multiple sources. This book for instance mentions her – published by Springer who in other cicumstances their reliability would not be questioned. If a source is unearthed that positively asserts this is an error then I might reconsider, but not on the curent evidence. Spinning Spark 17:54, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Thank you for referring to the dubious citation Beckwith, pp. 214-25 which seems to verify the statement It is likely that Lona is another name for the Moon goddess Hina. The chapter Hina Myths in Beckwith's Hawaiian mythology (pp. 214-225) doesn't mention the name Lona at all, however this would be one of the important sources to check and the page numbers as well as Hina point to the work of Martha Beckwith:
    Beckwith, Martha W.: Hawaiian Mythology. Reprinted in Honolulu (Univ. of Hawaii Press), 1996.
    In the introduction Katharine Luomala, professor of Anthropology, wrote in 1969: it was the first, and is still the only, scholarly work which charts a pathway through the hundreds of books and articles, many of them obscure and scarce, and through the little-known manuscripts that record the orally transmitted myths, legends, traditions, folktales, and romances of the Hawaiian people. (p. VII) The Univ. of Hawaii Press reprinted the book again in 1996.
    The citation in Myths, Symbols and Legends of Solar System Bodies (by Rachel Alexander, ISBN 9781461470670) cannot be verified, because only the fragment of the simple statement Lona in Hawaiian mythology was a is visible. However this book is an amateur astronomer’s guide to the mythology and symbolism associated with the celestial bodies in the Solar System, and even includes some of the legendary tales of people who had or have a connection with these objects. Therefore it is not a reliable source for Hawaiian mythology.
    Meanwhile I checked an important primary source as well: David Kalakaua. The Legends and Myths of Hawaii: The Fables and Folk-Lore of a Strange People. Honolulu: Mutual Publishing, 1999. Again, there's no mention of any Lona
    WP:WHYCITE requires that the information given is supported by reliable source. Because Lona is not mentioned in any of the scholarly sources about Hawaiian mythology reliable sources are still needed.
    Moreover WP:SIGCOV requires significant coverage, which is more than a trivial mention. Therefore trivial mentions in books or other sources are not sufficient for notability.
    Best, -- ThT ( talk) 20:29, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    The claim that a citation cannot be verified because you personally cannot read it is patently untrue. The book exists. The book exists in libraries. The book exists in libraries that anyone can go in to read it. So in theory anyone can verify it, and in practice one person at least (me) has read the entire entry. I accessed it online fine, your lack of computer skills is entirely your own problem, not Wikipedia's. Also, I never claimed the coverage in that book was significant (although it is certainly more than a passing mention), and Knappert's coverage is certainly significant. Spinning Spark 20:01, 3 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    For the record, the relevant passage in Myths, Symbols and Legends of Solar System Bodies reads:
    "Other Moon deities are female personifications of the Moon. Lona in Hawaiian mythology was a Moon goddess who, perhaps unwisely, fell passionately in love with a man by the name of Aikanaka. They lived happily ever after, at least for many years. They were finally separated by the death of the mortal. This is quite unusual for a goddess."
    I wouldn't consider this a reliable source for our purposes. There are no sources cited, and the author is an English teacher, not an expert in Hawaiian folklore. She very probably got this information from Wikipedia in the first place. You might be surprised how often that happens, even in books from normally-trustworthy publishers. Dan from A.P.

  • I think that the problem here is that Beckwith et al. are talking about the Ai-kanaka and Hina from Hawaiian mythology, which is a very different story to what Knappert relates. Moreover, Knappert specificially says "north Polynesian" not "Hawaiian" as xe does in other entries. These are two different myths, with the one related by Beckwith having nothing to do with a man being carried off to a "White Kingdom". Knappert has the Beckwith one in xyr entry for "Mahina" on page 174, and labels that one "Hawaiian". And Knappert's entry for "Ai-kanaka" just points to both of those.

    The problem here is that we have exactly one source, discounting the 21st century fantasy novel than almost quotes Knappert verbatim, for the "north Polynesian" mythical person; compounded by the fact that the one source devotes a mere three sentences to this subject. Worse, it's an Aquarian Press source. (You've all got the 1995 Diamond reprint, the original 1992 publisher was Aquarian.) Let's just say that Aquarian Press, publisher of Douglas Baker's 1977 Practical Techniques of Astral Projection and Rodney Davies' 1987 The ESP Workbook: How to Awaken and Use Your Psychic Powers, is not exactly academically rigorous. Aquarian got Knappert to do three "Aquarian guides" to "African", "Indian", and "Pacific" mythology over the space of as many years, and none of them are exactly scholarly in format. (Notice that when Knappert actually wrote in xyr field of expertise, about Swahili, xe went to Heinemann Educational Books and BRILL.)

    For what it's worth, my educated guess is that Alexander almost certainly got this information from Knappert's book, but changed "Polynesian" to "Hawaiian", even though Knappert draws this distinction between the two Ai-kanaka myths. Aquarian Press was in Wellingborough, according to a quick Google Books search, and Alexander's book-jacket blurb says that xe grew up in Nottingham, so Aquarian Press books were probably around. Ironically, Alexander's publisher, Springer Science+Business Media, has a far better reputation than Knappert's publisher does.

    But that does mean that we really don't have a good source for either this or the major parts of Aikanaka (mythology) which are also based upon Knappert's Aquarian Press book.

    This is only sourceable to a minor mention in one exceedingly dodgy Aquarian Press book. Delete.

Tim Atchison

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Nomination withdrawn. Mr Atchison's article has been somewhat improved, and now has sources which—although far from wonderful—are at least a plausible basis for a biography of a living person. This AfD detected a copyright violation which has now been revdelled; in closing this discussion I assume without checking that the deleting sysop complied with the first limb of WP:CRD when he did so. I will revisit this when and if the community ever decides that the GNG and/or BLP1E apply to sportspeople.— S Marshall  T/ C 11:27, 21 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Insufficiently-sourced biography of a living person. — S Marshall  T/ C 15:40, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply

In addition, some subject-specific notability guidelines, such as Wikipedia:Notability (sports), provide criteria that may support the notability of certain individuals who are known chiefly for one event. So BLP1E doesn't apply here. Etzedek24 ( I'll talk at ya) ( Check my track record) 17:01, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Oh, of course, I forgot that our normal notability rules don't apply to sportspeople.— S Marshall  T/ C 18:22, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Is this patronizing sarcasm really necessary? Etzedek24 was citing actual WP guidelines to support BeanieFan11's !vote. I know this is your nomination, and I can understand why you nominated it, but keep it civil. SPF121188 (tell me!) (contribs) 21:54, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Our notability rules don't apply to sportspeople. They've got special exemptions from the GNG and, as we learn above, also from BLP1E. How is it uncivil to say so?— S Marshall  T/ C 23:27, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment (probably also draftify): Found this as a piece of SIGCOV but am thinking this may be a candidate for draftification. He was a single game PS elevation and I'm having trouble quickly finding proper sources outside of PFR. The nominator is right to want better sourcing in a BLP, so draftifying may be our best option.

I could try to properly source the article if no one else is willing to. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 17:12, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per BeanieFan11-- Yankees10 18:28, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. At the time of nomination, the article was a low-quality piece largely copied from Atchison's on-line Baylor biography. I've added a number of additional sources to the article which now passes WP:GNG -- in addition to passing WP:NGRIDIRON. Cbl62 ( talk) 19:17, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
@ S Marshall: The nomination (as "insufficiently sourced" for a living person) was understandable give the article's poor quality and BLP concerns. The article has since been improved with reliable-source citations for each and every factual assertion. Accordingly, might you consider withdrawing so that all can move on to more productive matters? Cbl62 ( talk) 19:42, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • That's undoubtedly an improvement in terms of notability. I think that all the local newspaper coverage fails WP:ROUTINE, but it does verify some of the claims you make. I have two remaining questions, and they are, (1) What makes big12sports.com a reliable source considering their financial connection to the industry they're promoting? and (2) When you identified the text as a copyvio of [18], shouldn't you have blanked the page and tagged it with {{ copyvio}}? I don't think we're allowed to keep copyvios in the article history and I suspect that strictly speaking this content may be eligible for speedy deletion under WP:G12.— S Marshall  T/ C 20:10, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
If you think it best to remove the old version from the history, I have no objection. I didn't verify whether it was a direct copy/paste from the Baylor bio, but it appears to have been based largely on that work. As for big12sports.com, I think it's not really debatable that a conference made up of prestigious universities is a "reliable" source -- I suspect you're really going after its "independence". Finally, your assertion that all local newspaper coverage (including feature articles) should be rejected as WP:ROUTINE fails because (i) in-depth coverage such as that found here is the very antithesis of "routine" coverage, (ii) WP:ROUTINE applies on its face to events and not biographies, (iii) repeated proposals to impose a bar on the use of local coverage have been rejected with the sole exception of WP:AUD in the context of companies, (iv) media outlets like The Dallas Morning News' are regional in nature; and (v) the fact that you are dredging up an entirely new deletion rationale after your original BLP grounds were resolved makes it appear that you just DONTLIKEIT and are straining to find any basis for deletion. Cbl62 ( talk) 20:28, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
It's not that I "think it best" to remove the old version; it's just that I'm vaguely aware of copyright as a consideration and I've read our pages about copyright a couple of times. I'd normally seek advice from one of our sysops, who are meant to enforce these things and therefore ought to know about them, or if I wasn't the AfD nominator I'd flag it with {{ copyvio-revdel}}. I'm sorry you think I'm "dredging up" some new grounds here, but it was in fact you who identified the copyvio, and I do think copyright compliance is important.— S Marshall  T/ C 21:22, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
I took another look at the copyvio issue on the prior version. While not an outright, complete copypaste, there was usage of some of the precise language from the BU bio with minor paraphrasing. I've endeavored to remove such verbiage from the current text, but you raise a valid point about possible revision deletion on the prior version. I've left a note for our copyright specialists at Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems seeking further clarification on the revdel point. BTW, my comment about dredging up new issues had to do with your attempt to apply WP:ROUTINE as a basis for ignoring SIGCOV now found in the article. That comment had nothing to do with the possible COPYVIO (which I in fact raised). Copyright violation is a serious issue, and you are correct to point it out. Cbl62 ( talk) 01:38, 21 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Out of an abundance of caution, I did revdel the prior version. Cbl62 ( talk) 01:58, 21 February 2022 (UTC) reply

An article about a dialect of Maithili (or one intermediate with Bengali). I don't know if it exists, but so far it has been impossible to find sources about a dialect with this name (see also the talk page). – Uanfala (talk) 14:46, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. I've been willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but there do not seem to be WP:RS that support the article, at least with this name.

Because this has been moved previously to draft space (twice!) my desire to draftify would mean I would be move warring. Thus I am required to bring it to AfD because I am unable to edit it to address my concerns.

The article purports to be about the person, but is about the corporation. As a draft I would have declined it with that rationale, suggesting it be either or both split into two, assuming the person to be notable, for the person and the corporation, or repurposed to be about the corporation alone assuming the person not to be notable.

I am nominating it to be Returned to Draft and only to be moved to main space after a review. I note and agree with the banner that suggests it to be written like an advert. FiddleTimtrent  FaddleTalk to me 13:58, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect or Delete if not possible. I moved it to draft and expected it to be updated, but it more company references as opposed to BLP style references when it was done. If it can't redirect then delete. It is currently a diguised brochure article. I don't understand why. I think it is just a case the paid editing crowd attempting to get his article on, but don't have much to flesh it out.

This is my 4th AFD nomination of this page going back 12 years. A vanity page. NOTHING at all notable that I can see. Only a low level amateur sportsman.

  • Comment. Can someone explain to me what this person's career is actually like? Apparently he's been in Paraguayan soccer for several years, except he has been frequently injured, only appeared in five games (none in the top division of the soccer leagues there) and never scored a goal, and has never even received a salary from any club in the country? In terms of involvement in the top level of sport, on a scale somewhere between Lionel Messi and an amateur who occasionally plays in a friendly game of soccer, where would this person appear? I don't literally need an answer to that question, but he seems to be closer to the latter, as attested by the statement, "While playing in Paraguay, Sejean never received a salary from any club, and was held to cover his economic necessities by sports sponsorships, confessing in 2020 that his sponsors provided food for him when he experienced hunger, and through streams of labour, as English teaching at schools in Asunción and Ciudad del Este, acting as an English Communicator for Asunción club Deportivo Recoleta by or during 2020, modelling, and working at a milk bar."

  • Keep (unfortunately). Seems to me that the subject easily fails NFOOTBALL or any NSPORT, and fails GNG on the basis of any sport. However, they do seem to get a lot of coverage, rightly or wrongly. The coverage has also been sustained and broad. And, when the subject appears in mainstream IRS like the SBS one has to think twice about the subject's notability. WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not grounds for deletion. The article still needs some clean up, and some of the statements are exaggerated, but not enough for TNT, and AfD is not CLEANUP. So in my view the subject does pass general notability hence keep.

Fred Zepelin. You will see that I have got the broom to some of it too. As I stated above I do not like it. But unless someone can validly clean it all out, I feel I have to take what is left on face value. The SBS example is a case in point. If someone can with a high degree of confidence "prove" that this was lazy journalism by a normally reliable and independent source, then I think I could change my !vote relatively easily.

  • Delete and rereapply the salt. GNG is "not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article." even if there is a pass of GNG which I dispute. What sources are actually good for GNG? Let's have a look at what we have here. An unpaid football player without much of the playing bit. A less successful Carlos Kaiser? At least Kaiser was paid for not playing. Who did Sejean play for? Club Deportivo Sol del Este? The only one he had more than 1 game with? Look at the game photo. Top level there. Funny how he "began suffering from inflammation in the aquilian tendons due to excessive use" after managing to appear in one game. Brags about his athletics ability, competing as an "elite javelin thrower" [19], throwing a massive best of 36m. That's good enough to qualify for the Australian Championships. Well, for Under 14s that is. Source gets worse. "Sejean also hopes for a green and gold debut when Australia plays in the 2020 Copa America in June." I'm also not good enough to play professionally, perhaps I'll get to debut next time they play in Australia. An absolute junk source like so much of what is out there. Let's look at the SBS source mentioned above. "competes in elite athletics in Paraguay, with javelin and long jump." [20]. So another one with a total lack of any fact checking, so not a reliable source. Just a throwaway feel good piece based entirely on what he is saying. How about the ones Joseph linked in the last afd. The Geelong piece is a puff piece look what this local is doing from the same terrible Geelong Indy rag as above. The other two are promo pieces from a site showing no sign of being an independent reliable source. Who are they, who wrote these pieces? Are there any good sources? What sources are out there. Lots of barely watched videos of him training or of him failing to break world records. Lots of non-reliable sources based on things he has said. This is just a self-promoter with no significant achievements who occasionally gets lazy journos to reproduce his claims unchecked. How about the gallery of him standing alone in empty fields, posing outside closed stadiums? Makes him look even less noteworthy. Why so many SPAs on commons dedicated to posting pictures of him training alone. Salt again due to the long history of socks, ownership and attacks and the bad faithed gaming of the system by restarting the page at a different title to avoid salt. duffbeerforme ( talk) 06:20, 22 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Aoziwe ( talk) 12:37, 22 February 2022 (UTC) reply
The comment about competing at an "elite level" of athletics in javelin and long jump, but his bests of 36m and 4.93m are not at all notable distances. 13 year old girls do better in my state, let alone the whole country. To me that's evidence that it's a puff piece. I reached out to the journalist on twitter to ask, but he didn't reply after I told him of my concerns.

There is only so much benefit of the doubt you can give someone. He hasn't updated his records on his YouTube page though. And, IMO, when you have documented evidence of the poor results (links to the official results were in the article), and a passing mention in a questionable article with no specific details or references for "elite" performance, that sort of goes precisely opposite to the intention of WP:GNG.

With Calm, and as Creator of Page in 2020, and read the claim for Deletion, I sympathize in part, cause when I create New Pages of PGY Footballers or Footballers in PGY, the first information I search of a footballer is - Transfermarket - FBRef - Football Data Base - Soccerway - Cero a Cero, and how can you have Profile of Transfmarkt, FBRef, Football Data Base, if you play in the PGY Asenscion Leagues? But, is why, because of unsure, I created DRAFT Pages for Elie Charbel Lelo Sejean and Marcos Caballero on 2020, and on 2020 and Forward was both very Important to PGY Football, and both Pages approved and stay with reason and motive of Notability. Marcos Caballero was deleted in past but I recreated and more convincingly. In response, I say you, I dedicate my time to expand the PGY Football topics and PGY topics in all areas, and see all my edits and you say me good edits. In current page, the item has all important information removed by user Nehme1499 ( talk · contribs), and now is unnotable. But I repeat is important to PGY Football as Long Foreign Footballer in Continent and is important to Ciudad del Este just on the grounds that Marcos Caballero is important and a figure to Sportivo Ameliano and the PGY Ascension Leagues.

  • Delete - I was fooled in the previous discussion and voted keep hastily without consideration for COI and without fully considering whether the sources are reliable or not. It's quite clear that Sejean has been campaigning for many, many years to get a Wikipedia article and that most of the references are completely worthless. Wikipedia should remain firm against UPE/COI articles like this and I strongly agree with the deletion arguments raised here. Sejean has received significant coverage, correct, but GNG also requires the coverage to be independent of the subject which I strongly believe to be untrue here.

      The article notes from Google Translate: "The Grand View Terrace, which consists of 6 buildings, is located on the mid-levels of Kwai Chung. Whether it is in Kwai Chung, West Kowloon, or in the area around Hong Kong Island, the majestic view of the Grand View Terrace can be seen. As a matter of fact, due to its location at a high altitude, the vast majority of units in Grand View Terrace have unobstructed views of Kwai Chung, West Kowloon, Victoria Harbour, and the area from Hong Kong Island Ring to Western Ring. The night scene after the lanterns are on should be quite charming. There are also green minibuses in the area connecting to Lai King MTR Station, so external traffic is not too far off. Among the 438 stub units sold by the Housing Society this time, Ho King Terrace accounts for the largest proportion."

On offer are 712 units at Cascades in Ho Man Tin and 1,456 units at Highland Park in Kwai Chung. ... Highland Park's units spread in six blocks on a hill at Lai Kong Street.

Some analysts said the selling prices of Cascades and Highland Park were too low from a taxpayer's point of view and they questioned whether the Government was over-subsidising. Tony Lui, manager of Ricacorp Properties' Mei Foo district, said the Highland Park site was on a hill with views of Tsuen Wan and Hong Kong Island. If the site was offered for sale for private development, the finished units easily could sell at more than $10,000 per sq ft, he said."

      The article notes: "The question of taxpayers over-subsidising these families was raised again during the launch of two new sandwich-class housing projects - the 712-unit Cascades in Ho Man Tin and the 1,465-unit Highland Park in Kwai Chung. The HKHS said the selling price for Cascades averaged $3,800 per square foot while that for Highland Park was $3,600 per sq ft. The prices represent a 40 per cent discount on full-market prices, as estimated by HKHS. Based on this discount ratio, full-market prices estimated by the HKHS would be about $6,300 per sq ft for Cascades and $6,000 per sq ft for Highland Park. ...The units in Highland Park, located on a hill near the Lai King MTR station, command good and open views. Are their prices too low? ... The most expensive units available in the projects are those in Charming Garden phase two, at Mongkok, selling for an average of $3,325 per sq ft, which is only several hundred dollars cheaper than Cascades and Highland Park. ... This may not allay criticism as analysts reckoned that the discount pricing of Cascades and Highland Park would enable the buyers to take significant capital gains on re-sale of the units on the open market after the five-year restriction. ... Units in Cascades measure 539-962 sq ft. Those in Highland Park are 593-820 sq ft. ... The unit prices of Cascades range from $1.87 million to $3.65 million. Those of Highland Park vary between 1.74 million and $3.36 million. ... Families that could afford the $3.65 million and $3.36 million prices for the most expensive units in Cascades and Highland Park were even more financially capable of purchasing smaller units in the open market, analysts said."

  • Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply. 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. Interviews are not only PRIMARY sources but also not Independent Content. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and I can't find any, topic fails WP:NCORP.

Motor racing team doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG- coverage is either WP:ROUTINE or does not discuss the team in depth. MrsSnoozyTurtle 07:53, 6 February 2022 (UTC) reply

GhostOfDanGurney I am trying to understand how is this even remotely close to a WP:GNG worthy source. A passing mention of DXDT + quote farm + quote farm + 2 sentences about Crowdstrike (unrelated to the AfD) + another quote farm + 1 sentence about DXDT + quote farm + quote farm + a sentence about Ryan Dalziel + quote farm. Jovanmilic97 ( talk) 13:58, 7 February 2022 (UTC) reply
I guess your standards are higher than mine? Or more likely, mine are lower for non-BLP subjects. Although thin, there is enough secondary context about the subject to contribute to a short stub article should another worthy source be brought up. As it stands, nothing else appears to exist at this time hence why I'm likely not !voting to keep this. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" 17:33, 7 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Thank you all for your constructive criticism and discussion of this page. Because this particular form of racing does not receive large amounts of exposure sometimes the only media covering this particular series are the ones I have already cited, as I know I cannot link to DXDT or Crowdstrike's own press releases. That is why Wikipedia has been incredibly helpful in increasing the footprint for this area of the sport and linking all the coverage in one place. With your helpful feedback, I have begun to add from additional sources including Honda, Mercedes Benz, Speedsport News, and Speedway Digest, as well as linking to other Wikipedia pages that include the team this page is about. I will continue to gather additional sources to meet your guidelines. Thanks again! Racerchick18 ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:44, 12 February 2022 (UTC) reply

I am also in the process of linking DXDT Racing to all of the articles they were previously mentioned in. There were many, so it is taking some time while I continue to update the page.

  • Draftify - I have struck my delete !vote in light of the expansion of the article; although WP:NMOTORSPORT does not cover race teams at present, the team's results in GT World Challenge Americas indicates a good future WP:POTENTIAL for passing GNG. At the moment, it does not, with still only RACER providing anything more than WP:ROUTINE coverage that isn't an official release (with even RACER being debatable, as seen above). Draftifying in my opinion is the correct solution here, allowing the creator to continue working on the article until a second piece of SIGCOV is found. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" 19:19, 13 February 2022 (UTC) reply

This is an interesting point. I agree sources generated by the person alone are not sufficent.

A limited number of primary sources (including interviews) is allowed, but they should be a minor component of the overall reliable sources. Also, if you have access to the book sources referenced in the article, it would go a long ways towards proving notability if you could provide inline citations to specific page numbers.

  • Comment Article remains largely unsourced for year and place of birth, education, technique, and some awards. Additionally the reference to Académie Internationale de la Céramique and her membership is not RS. She is a member of the association and essentially create that page. WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 18:24, 13 February 2022 (UTC) reply
In order to provide the needed information I would like to understand what type of information we need to attach. Is an official birth document required for date and place of birth? Or is a magazine, book, other document stating this information sufficient? Same for the College which unfortunately does not release a browsable documentation on their alumni site, what document is needed in this case? In 2021 a guide was published by the newspaper La Repubblica in which they mention the German origin and studies at Goldsmith College, could it be sufficient? About the Académie Internationale de la Céramique, what do you mean by "RS"? Thank you. MrCarloGrassi ( talk) 21:42, 15 February 2022 (UTC) reply
MrCarloGrassi, Usually when an artist's work is in a notable collection, the institution lists the artists nationality and year of birth. I am not finding Putsch-Grassi listed in any online collections/museums. If there is a book or magazine listing this information, you should add an inline citation to the article. RS means "reliable source". You can read the article Wikipedia:Reliable sources. I have updated the article to show precisely what needs to have a citation (or be removed). Best, WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 22:19, 15 February 2022 (UTC) reply
I just added official certification from the National Museum of Slovenia, i hope this material is allowed as only the official document is available and no statement can be found on the museum website.

  • Delete While the concept is certainly notable, the fact is that the article has been around since 2005 and has remained more or less a stub since. For a topic not time-bounded and otherwise well-known, the fact that editors have struggled to find WP:RS indicates to me that this topic doesn't have enough substance to merit being on Wikipedia.

    • Kids books about the idea [29]
    • Passing references which assume the idea is known to most readers [30].
Sorry, I've got to get back to work, but folks it's clearly notable. Not a great article for sure.

  • Keep – Concurring with Hobit. Subject is notable, despite the article being short. Certainly needs some cleanup to provide additional RS, however, arguments for deletion appear to focus too centrally on a WP:LONGTIME fallacy. Article contents do not dictate notability, the subject does, for which GNG is met... at least to my eye. Bgv. ( talk) 10:29, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete My main issue with the sources posted is that they fail reliability and independence standards. The 3 news sources are based upon the article from the National Today website, which makes dubious claims that I couldn't verify (e.g. Eisenhower declared August 17th opposite day. That'd be a really cool origin story if there were a single reliable independent source about it). Doing my own WP:BEFORE I couldn't find any reliable sources discussing the holiday in any detail other than the obvious "here's some ideas of what to do on opposite day."

A recent series of AfDs, such as Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Index_of_Myanmar-related_articles_(2nd_nomination), reached agreement to delete this redundant and unmaintainable system of index articles about countries and territories. The most commonly cited concerns are that navigation is already provided by navboxes, categories, and lists with narrower scope, including outline articles like Outline of Turkmenistan; and that most countries and territories have a large number of associated articles — for example, even the Vatican City has about 2,000 articles indexed by its associated WikiProject. Most of these are exactly like the previously nominated lists, but any exceptional cases should be noted if you find one. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 08:37, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply

General comments:

A lot of these articles have lists, which can be split to a list of lists or merged with the respective outline. Merge any external links like "Articles with (country name) in title" or "Atlas of (country name)"(Commons link) etc to outlines or the country articles where appropriate. I also think that they could be redirected to the respective outlines, if there are no issues with that. Some have redlinks which I guess can be added to the lists of requested articles, if nonexistent. A few have external links to Wikipedias in the language(s) of the countries, would there be any use in moving that to the respective outline pages? A few have sidebars, with the Soviet Union one having all the related sidebars I assume , would there be any use in moving something like that to the outline pages? Depending on this nomination's results, a cleanup of Lists of country-related topics will be needed, as well as navboxes that link to these indices.

  • I agree that many of these indexes should probably go. However, the usual arguments for deletion don't apply to all of them. Previous indexes got deleted because their scope was unmaintainably wide (this is not the case for the smaller countries), because they didn't get updated (some of the lists here may be better looked after), because they were redundant to wikiproject listings (quite a few of the ones here don't have associated wikiprojects). Some of the articles here are not alphabetical indexes at all, but structured lists that function like outlines (Dege31 seems to have identified those). Some indexes are unexpectedly popular (the Vatican one has been receiving hundreds of daily views since late last year [31]). – Uanfala (talk) 16:10, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Index of Vatican City-related articles not only receives hundreds of views a day, yes, for years, but often thousands. Randy Kryn ( talk) 13:12, 21 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • I would like to request to keep the Index of Singapore-related articles. This index is maintained by me for the last 3 years and is updated weekly, except for when I was truly busy in real life and was away for the computer for a week or two. I don't see me stopping the regular updates in the near future given that it requires less than an hour per week to do so. Nonetheless I have begun to work a tool to better involve other editors in the updating of the index (see below).
The reason for keeping the list up to date are primarily to know what articles related to Singapore have been written and also to combat vandalism, and to a smaller extent, advise or step in when we see mass edits that go into contrary to the current standards/guidelines/standardisation across a topic. Vandalism watch is done primarily through the Recent Changes special page.
The criteria for inclusion is a curated list of Singapore subcategories. The curated list was a result of an one-time exercise that I did to manually expand all subcategories of Singapore in the category page (although it is manual, I made use of jQuery and css classes to toggle open all sub-categories in batches which reduced the time spent). The curated list is actively being updated as well. I wrote a helper script ( https://github.com/robertsky/wikisglinks) to parse through the curated categories list for the pages that are categorised in them and output them in the format and markup you see for the index. The updates can be considered as semi-automatic updates as I make use of git diff to verify the potential changes, as sometimes some articles may be inadvertently removed or included due to miscategorisations or category renames. It also requires manual intervention when there are updates to the header and footer content outside the article list by other editors on Wikipedia or when there's a change in APIs that affects the script.
Looking at broad numbers, there are 12,000+ links currently on the index while there are 11,000+ being assessed for WikiProject Singapore. The higher number may be due to inclusion of tangentially related articles, like one-time ambassadors to Singapore, expatriates/international companies with regional HQs in Singapore, etc. , which may not be assessed for WikiProject Singapore due to the relatively light content related to Singapore on the article， or simply missed out in their assessments. Nonetheless, the updated Index has been serving its intended uses well.
I did consider using WikiProject Singapore article assessment as an alternative to updating the index. However, as I had noted in a discussion at Wikiproject Singapore when I sought to update the index, the number of articles retrieved through categories was 4,000+ more than the number listed in the Article Assessment.
I had been considering expanding the helper script into a frontend tool to allow other editors make use of the script for other indexes without diving into command line, or requiring manual seeding of categories as I did or minimal manual interventions, and am laying the foundations to start the work on. I don't intend for the script to turn into a bot, thus will definitely require editors to consciously accept the changes (and the usual responsibilities of publishing an edit) before the changes go live on the index.
If some, if not all, of the indexes can be salvaged and maintained with the script/tool, editors are certainly welcome to do so.
Outline of Singapore had been cleaned up accordingly as well in 2021, thus making the intents of the index and outline articles distinct from each other. – robertsky ( talk) 16:56, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
I personally have no problem as long as these are maintained, since they do have daily visitors. It would be helpful if the process was (semi-)automatic, because most of them cover less than 5 % of articles that are in relevant WikiProjects. Dege31 ( talk) 17:17, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
I think it would make sense to move any of these lists that are in fact maintained to Wikiproject space. This is good work and would be similar to Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/List of mathematics articles (0–9) etc., which are kept up to date by a bot. Reywas92 Talk 22:41, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Why would projectspace be a better location? If a list is of a manageable size and it's being actively maintained up to date, then it would be of benefit to readers. – Uanfala (talk) 22:53, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete/merge/move all Per my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Index of India-related articles and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Index of Sri Lanka–related articles. Any that are actually maintained or more comprehensive may be better off in relevant wikiprojects. Any that are organized by topic should be combined with the relevant outline, as listed above. Delete the rest because just an unmaintained alphabetical list of links doesn't really serve a navigational purpose when we have a search bar, categories, and outlines.

  • Strong Keep, I have been personally working on Index of Armenia-related articles almost daily/ weekly for over 2 years (as seen in the edit history). I have been diligently trying to improve it since January 2020. I think any country index being properly maintained/updated shouldn't be discredited and cast off so hastily. Rather, they should be given the chance to develop further. Honestly speaking, it was this index article itself which sparked my joy of editing on Wikipedia, and helped me to discover articles/topics I never knew existed related to Armenia. The past 2 years it has been a joy to try and improve/update it, and I plan on continuing such contributions given the opportunity. Regards, Archives908 ( talk) 02:12, 21 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete all. These kind of lists add nothing to Wikipedia, and navboxes and categories' systems already offer this kind of view. The indices with any kind of salvageable contents should merge that contents into their own outlines and make the index a redirect. I find the case of Singapore index not an exception but something that is currently overlapping the category system without any added-value at all, therefore it should be deleted. -- Onwa ( talk) 02:16, 21 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Onwa, as outlined in my comment, the index is used for countering vandalism and monitoring for mass edits. Can articles in multiple categories be monitored with a single watchlist/recent changes watchlist? – robertsky ( talk) 02:21, 21 February 2022 (UTC) reply
      • I think ns-0 space pages should be used to actual articles, not to coordinate or perform maintenance tasks. If that kind of page is needed in order to monitor changes, then move the pages to (or create this kind of "watchlist pages" within) Project namespace. -- Onwa ( talk) 02:23, 21 February 2022 (UTC) reply

    • Please never officially suggest lists should be replaced by a category, a common but utterly mistaken concept often used in deletion discussions. See, memorize, tattoo on forearm, rinse and repeat WP:CLN, whose summary reads "This page in a nutshell: Categories, lists, and navigation templates are three different ways to group and organize articles. Although they each have their own advantages and disadvantages, each method complements the others." Randy Kryn ( talk) 12:41, 21 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: 1 this comment could be controversial, but currently indices I have seen are not obeying the WP:5P2 part that says that all articles must strive for verifiable accuracy, citing reliable, authoritative sources. I could not find a reason to be exempted from this rule (or to apply WP:5P5 over WP:5P2; does "no firm rules" refers only to policies and guidelines or also applies to the other pillars?) in the case of indices. Despite the claimed active support of some of them, I still can't see in them the citations. 2 According to WP:SAL, Indices, alphabetized lists of articles on a given subject, are part of Wikipedia's Contents navigation system, but this goal is not appropriate for a page in the article namespace, intended to contain encyclopedic entries, they should not work as full page navboxes. -- Onwa ( talk) 18:21, 21 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Actually, that's how people envisaged Wikipedia's index as working from nearly the start. Both the indexing system and the disambiguation article system are results of the fact that MediaWiki didn't have any ways to share titles between articles or to automatically index articles. The index is actually a (hand-written) part of the encyclopaedia proper, not part of the internal project namespace. It's there for readers. It's there for re-users. It's not solely a writers-only thing. If one were to design afresh a collaborative editing tool for an encyclopaedia writing project (and reading tool for its readers), not making the same mistakes again in this regard would I hope be high on the list. But as it is, we have hand-written indexes, and they go in the namespace where the encyclopaedia proper is. Uncle G ( talk) 22:32, 21 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete all. Per nominator really. The others mostly confirmed. My recommendation is that the closing message will say that articles can be made available for copying to wikiprojects or personal space.

  • Comment. If we must make an exception for a few cases (maybe because of the traffic, which is a fact on the ground), my recommendation would be to make this for the three city-states: Monaco, Singapore, and Vatican City, rather than for the three articles here mentioned as well maintained: Armenia, Singapore, and Vatican City. This would be more systematic, for example, until we phase out such articles out entirely. Not at all convinced that making exceptions is necessary but there is for these rare cases at least the beginning of an argument to keep. My personal recommendation (item above) is and remains to delete all. gidonb ( talk) 15:14, 23 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all without prejudice to focused nominations as it is clear that these articles span a wide range of quality, activity, views, structure, etc. Some of them can likely be kept, some should possibly be deleted, some will have scope for a merge or partial merge. However there are far too many to reliably evaluate nearly 200 individual articles in 7 days let alone for someone who didn't see the nomination until part way through.

This is a non-notable branch of Islamic Azad University due to the fact that both references in the article are primary and I couldn't find anything in a WP:BEFORE that works for notability. Just a couple of extremely trivial name drops in a few articles about other things. So I'm nominating this for deletion.

  • Speedy keep. The nomintor's rationale is poor, in fact they present no arguments, just an opinion. The article is well referenced. They failed to note that pl wiki separates the concept of a legal advisor ( pl:Doradca prawny) and Lawyers in Poland. The latter doesn't have a Polish interwiki, but given pl:prawnik = Jurist, while pl:adwokat = Adwokat, the "lawyers in Poland" is covered by the pl:Adwokat#Adwokaci_w_Polsce section, which actually forms most of that article (and should be split, I'll tackle this soon and fix the interwikis). Anyway, since the nom didn't question notability or such, but just suggested this is a fork, given the existence of separate Polish articles and their content, I'd say the terms are related but not forks. If anyone disagrees, they need to provide a deeper analysis of this. I'll end by WP:TROUTing the nom for this low quality nomination based on, well, pretty much nothing substantial. PS. Legal systems are complex; there are sill Polish wikipedia articles about Polish legal systems, including professions and titles, that are not translated (ex. pl:radca prawny, pl:mecenas). Separately, the article discussed here may need to be moved to attorney-at-law (Poland) per the terminology recommendation by a relevant Polish professional body ( pl:Krajowa Rada Radców Prawnych, which also doesn't have an English article yet). See pl:Doradca_prawny#Legal_advisor_w_systemie_common_law for some discussion on translations and relation to English terms, including attorney-at-law, legal advisor, solicitor, barrister, etc. On that note this entire nom makes about as much sense in the Polish law contexts and suggesting that we should merge articles about solicitors and barristers... -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:40, 13 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, out of scope for an AfD debate, but the article gets off on a bad foot by stating "The status of legal advisors is not regulated by law", and in the very next sentence, "Only lawyers can be legal advisors", thereby leaving any non-Polish reader completely flummoxed about what a legal advisor actually is. Part of me thinks that it would make some sense to include legal advisors in the article on Lawyers in Poland, from which they are firmly absent. I have no objection to this article being kept (to avoid bloat in other articles), but would remind its editors that we are a general English-language encyclopaedia, not a Polish law school. The detailed discussion of the Constitutional Tribunal ruling in 2003 should probably be summarised in a single sentence. Elemimele ( talk) 17:56, 13 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Just a note that legal advisors are linked from that article. I admit this is confusing, and trust me, not just in English - I was quote puzzled when I realized in Polish, which is my native language, we have the separate concepts of "radca prawny" and "doradca prawny". Both appear to be notable, however. Wikipedia may be English-language, but we have a ton of articles on concepts, including legal, from other languages, so that part of your argument I think is not relevant.

  • Nuts to that!

    Legal advisors in Poland most definitely are regulated by law. The law is Ustawa o radcach prawnych, Dz. U. z 2010 r. Nr 10, poz. 65 . And advocates are regulated by a different law, Prawo o adwokaturze, Dz. U. z 1982 r. Nr 16, poz. 124 . English language sources like Marchiwicki & Niedužak 2013 (which gives these laws) call them "legal advisors" and "advocates", so let's not make up our own translations. Britishizing/Americanizing this stuff leads to false equivalences.

    And they most definitely are required to maintain secrecy. That's actually what Marchiwicki & Niedužak 2013 is all about, and it even gives the exact places in the two respective Codes of Ethics that require this. And unlike the anonymously authored and wrong article in BusinessInsider that is being used, that book chapter is written by two identified members of the professional ethics committee.

    Please improve this rubbish and wrong explanation, or just write it in the right place. Nascimbene & Bergamini 2009 explains the differences between legal advisors and advocates, in English for non-Polish readers. It also treats the twain together, pretty much inextricably and at length, and I observe that Lawyers in Poland#The distinction between advocates and attorneys at law does so too, but cites almost nothing except a couple of WWW sites, when it could be citing an expert-written book on the subject from a couple of EU/international law professors.

    And where the Polish Wikipedia is using an anonymous inexpert article from BusinessInsider instead of actual expert sources written by identifiable people with credentials in the field, it is wrong, too.

  • Comment:

    Hi, short explanation from my side.

1) In Poland, we have advocates (adwokaci) and attorneys-at-law (radcowie prawni). Notice how law firms in Poland, for example, Polish units of Deloitte, name their lawyers without admission to the bar. Usually "associates", "in-house" (I'm not a fan of this distinction, because, in my opinion, it should be a professional attorney) or "legal advisors".

2) It is distinctive that we have a profession that is not regulated in the separate act of parliament, and I think it's worth representation on Wiki. This article does not create "alternative facts". Google "doradztwo prawne" or "biura doradztwa prawnego", it's a Polish phenomenon.

3) The National Bar Council of Attorneys-at-Law (See: the resolution of 22 September 2018) adopted the official translation of the legal profession of radca prawny as attorney-at-law. Link: https://www.oirpwarszawa.pl/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/uchwa%C5%82a-102_2018-KRRP.pdf

  • Keep Passes WP:NRU with 30 appearances in the NPC, a notable league under WP:NRU guidelines. In terms of GNG coverage there's this and this I've found in a very basic search and there's heaps of other mentions in that search, which suggests in a more detailed search, especially into local Taranaki media, and other NZ sources, more will be found. Rugbyfan22 ( talk) 10:13, 6 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    Sorry, I didn’t actually realise that appearance in the NPC met NRU. This is a shockingly soft standard though, when considering that minor league baseball at a similar level is not deemed notable.
    Your seco*nd source doesn’t meet SIGCOV, but the other one is respectable, I just have a hard time seeing that as enough. —  HTGS ( talk) 11:07, 6 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    • The NPC is a professional rugby union league, which is what the original guidelines were based on. The competition and the players involved do get good coverage in NZ media. I'll try and do a more in-depth search for sourcing though if I get the time. @ Kidsoljah: is a keen NPC and Taranaki editor so he might be able to help out.

Sharapova–S. Williams rivalry

While she was a contemporary player, this was a lopsided destruction and not a true rivalry. It's one thing to be mentioned casually on either of these two player articles, but quite another to have a pretty useless stand-alone article. Per Tennis Project, rivalry articles are not inherently notable and rivalries such as Agassi–Rafter and Federer–Hewitt have been deleted by the community. This was also partially discussed at [ [34]]. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 06:44, 20 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, e.g. also: Vox, 2017 ("Williams is a prominent fixture in Sharapova's book and in many of the popular narratives surrounding Sharapova."), Rolling Stone, 2017 (discussing Sharapova's book, quoting Sharapova about Williams: "Only a few people in the world know what we know – what it feels like in the dead center of this storm, the fear and anger that drive you, how it is to win and how it is to lose. But we are not friends – not at all."), New York Times, 2017 (also discussing the book, "Sharapova speaks of Williams in a detailed and often antagonistic way rarely used to discuss an active rival."), SkySports, 2016 (quoting Sharapova discussing Williams: "It's motivating because she's at a different level. She makes you go back to the drawing board, not just for me, but for many other players. She makes you work. That's inspiring."). Even this lopsided rivalry meets the GNG because it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, based on the sources identified in this discussion, in the article, and otherwise available online, which can allow this article to be further developed.

  • Keep Clarityfiend and Beccaynr have provided enough sources to establish notability. This is one of the few memorable rivalries on the WTA tour in recent decades, despite the lopsidedness of it on court. Letcord ( talk) 04:34, 26 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep reliable sources consider this to be a noteworthy tennis rivalry. Whether or not it was "a lopsided destruction" is subjective, that's kind of a personal judgement call. And rivalries don't have to be close either. BuySomeApples ( talk) 22:03, 27 February 2022 (UTC) reply
