  • Delete - This university provides a non-specialist education and so must adhere to the guideline requiring all universities and colleges providing mainstream education to satisfy the notability guidelines or GNG (per WP:NSCHOOL). WP:ORG guidelines require significant coverage which this college does not have. No independent significant coverage indicating notability.

    Rebuttal Routine local match coverage is not SIGCOV. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 22:37, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    You may not agree, but coverage like this is usually considered significant in CFB, see the similar AfD Cbl listed below. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 22:38, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    I'm not going to dig through all of them, but let's just start with the first three:
    1. [1] Routine (if detailed) play-by-play coverage of the final game of the season in a local Wisconsin paper
    2. [2] Interview of the team's coach after a defeat
    3. [3] A four paragraph routine match report
    None of these is SIGCOV and none of these demonstrates how this is anything but WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. Glancing at the titles of the rest, doesn't look like there's much different. If you disagree, then please find WP:THREE sources which do actually meet SIGCOV. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 22:53, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Since several of the articles exceed the standard in WP:ROUTINE (of simply posting "sports scores") and are actually full-length feature articles, they will do nicely. WP:SIGCOV is met, given the standard there is "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. The articles provided clearly address the topic directly and in detail.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 03:20, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Routine match coverage (such as the three sources I give above) is not SIGCOV; it is WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. We don't have an article about every football or cricket or baseball game (even at the pro level), even if these surely attract "significant coverage", because this is an encyclopedia and not a sports database. WP:NSEASONS goes in the same direction, that this should consist mainly of well-sourced prose, not routine match coverage. A few statistical factoids is not sufficient to establish that this is truly anything but an ordinary football season for an ordinary colegiate level team. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 13:15, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    @ RandomCanadian: Indeed, we don't have articles on every football game. Instead, and as a matter of overall editorial judgment, the sports projects have opted instead to organize such coverage into season articles which can include discussion or notable games played in that season. Eliminating season articles such as this would reverse that editorial judgment and thus encourage the proliferation of yet more stand-alone articles on individual games. As for your default argument of characterizing multiple, in-depth sources as "routine" or "run-of-the-mill", your argument appears to boil down to "I don't like season articles on college football, no matter how well sourced they may be." This stands in stark contrast to your more relaxed view of notability when it comes to little-known (or unknown) pieces of 19th century organ music. E.g., Livre d'orgue de Montréal -- a sub-stub you created three months ago sourced only to the text of the work itself. Should GNG be applied less rigorously to music than sports? Cbl62 ( talk) 14:07, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    @ Cbl62: Doing a simple search through JSTOR (or even looking at the very first google search result, [4], or maybe you prefer a book-length treatise on this single work) would have shown you that sources exist, and notability is not based on whether the sources are in the article or not. Hence, you clearly haven't done any research to back up your dubious and insulting ad hominem that this is done out of a personal grudge. Again, we don't have individual articles on individual games based on routine match reports, even if they cover their topic significantly. We don't have "season" articles which are merely compilations of such routine local newspapers reports. I could have also cited WP:NOTNEWS. Of course, you're a stubborn inclusionist and I'm probably wasting my time. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 14:18, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Your penchant for name-calling ("stubborn inclusionsist", "close-minded", "wiki-lawyering") really don't advance your case. And if you check my AfD stats, you'd see that I vote "delete" more often than "keep" in sports AfDs (and actually initiated the AfD on the 1968 Whitewater season). In the future, consider leaving the personal comments behind. As for that organ piece, you are often fond of criticizing others for creating main-space articles without GNG-level sourcing. So I assume you'll be adding that sourcing promptly to your sub-stub? Cbl62 ( talk) 14:32, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I previously nominated another Whitewater season at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1968 Whitewater State Warhawks football team. I ended up withdrawing the AfD when additional sourcing was brought to the fore. This one looks like it's heading to the same result. I continue to believe that the vast majority of lower-division seasons do not warrant season articles, but Whitewater (for whatever reasons) appears to be an exception that does attract SIGCOV in multiple reliable sources across the State of Wisconsin. Cbl62 ( talk) 22:32, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. After digging further, the topic attracted abundant SIGCOV, a sampling of which has now been added to the article. I continue to believe that routine, low-level seasons should not all have stand-alone articles, but the coverage here clearly passes GNG. Also, the team won the conference championship and set new conference records for defense. Cbl62 ( talk) 00:04, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per arguments by Paulmcdonald, BeanieFan11, and Cbl62. Jweiss11 ( talk) 04:00, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • @ RandomCanadian: Your GNG point is pretty well refuted. You also rely on WP:NOTSTATS, and I'm at a loss to understand how that might apply. It states: "Excessive listings of unexplained statistics. Statistics that lack context or explanation can reduce readability and may be confusing; accordingly, statistics should be placed in tables to enhance readability, and articles with statistics should include explanatory text providing context." Here, there are no listings, let alone excessive listings, of unexplained statistics. Can you explain how you think NOTSTATS applies? Cbl62 ( talk) 05:19, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    A table only listing routine match results (which is what the article mostly consists of) is a blatant failure of NOTSTATS. Even the (very small amount of) accompanying prose isn't much more than a few statistical factoids. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 13:15, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    @ RandomCanadian: Can you point to the specific language in WP:NOTSTATS that supports such an interpretation? "Unexplained statistics"? No. Confusing due to "reduced readability"? No. Absence of "explanatory text providing context"? No. If you're not just making stuff up, please cite the language that supports your interpretation. Cbl62 ( talk) 13:40, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Stop wikilawyering based on close-minded text reading and follow the goddamn spirit of the thing. "To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources." A mere listing of results, and a few sentences which basically reduce to statistical factoids (the won-lost record, a few statistical points, the number and name of non-notable players who were selected to the league's [similarly non-notable and entirely routine] "all-star" team), all based on databases and local newspapers, do not provide "encyclopedic value" nor are they from significant and independent sources. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 13:48, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    @ RandomCanadian: The quoted passage about context in no way applies to this article which has ample context. And your angry accusations of "wikilawyering" and "close-mindedness" bring to mind the old trial lawyer's adage: "When the facts are on your side, pound the facts. When the law is on your side, pound the law. When neither is on you side, pound the table." Cbl62 ( talk) 14:12, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    If the facts are on your side, it should be mind-boggingly simple to address it: find WP:THREE sources which explicitly demonstrate how this is not a run-of-the-mill collegiate sports season. Local newspapers, match reports, interviews, ..., don't count. US college sports are not exempt from this. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 14:20, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Which guideline is it that says local newspapers don't count? Oh yeah, repeated efforts to make such a change have been resoundingly defeated with the exception of WP:NORG which doesn't apply here. Cbl62 ( talk) 14:24, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    If you claim that this is more than a run-of-the-mill sports season, then it kinda entirely defeats your point if it wasn't noticed by anyone but local newspapers... Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a sports database, and if the only thing that can be said about this is "it happened, here a few statistical factoids of no interest but to dedicated fans", then, yes, it fails inclusion criteria. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 14:28, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Still waiting for you to cite the policy or guideline on local coverage. The answer is???? 14:35, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
    This isn't a court of law. Common sense must prevail at some point. If there is nothing but coverage in local sources, then the argument that this is 'significant coverage' is self-defeating: something that is encyclopedically notable usually has more than coverage in merely local sources. College football is played every single year by thousands of teams. If this season is encyclopedia worthy, then surely it should have some outstanding characteristic and not yet be just another WP:RUNOFTHEMILL stats-dump (which is what the article is right now). RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 15:29, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    I agree that this isn't a court of law. It's an AfD discussion at Wikipedia, and we have policies that guide us in these discussions. Those policies and guidelines simply do not support your position here. Since those policies and guidelines don't support your position, you instead appeal to "common sense", which is really in this case nothing more than your subjective dislike for the topic. Cbl62 ( talk) 15:37, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    I have given plenty of policies and guidelines (which you choose to ignore and then interpret very legalistically), but you seem to prefer ignoring them and pointing at "significant coverage" without even bothering to address how it actually isn't significant coverage, nor the WP:NOT issue (which is independent of any notability issue). Wikipedia is not a compendium of routine, insignificant events which just so happen to be reported in local newspapers. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 15:44, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Actually, you've given plenty of personal opinions, but you have not any policies or guidelines to support your assertion that the abundant SIGCOV in the article should be disregarded because it comes from multiple newspapers throughout the State of Wisconsin (a state which, by the way, has a population larger than Ireland, New Zealand, and a hundred other countries). Cbl62 ( talk) 15:53, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
@ RandomCanadian:, it's unfair and inaccurate to state that editors have not addressed the issues you have brought up when indeed they have. It's okay to disagree with the responses--but it's not okay to say there are no responses. Let us all work to be WP:CIVIL in our disagreements.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 16:40, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Meets WP:GNG, per all above. Ejgreen77 ( talk) 12:00, Ir20 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep As several other editors have stated, the season has significant coverage in multiple, independent sources, as evidenced by the article's references. There's no provision in GNG that the coverage must be published outside of certain geographic areas, or that there can't be too many other related topics with similar levels of coverage, or any of the other arguments I've seen time and again at AfD to claim that certain sources don't count for one reason or another.
As an aside, there's a reason why Whitewater football attracts more coverage than you'd expect for a team that's now in Division III. Wisconsin is unusual in that UW-Madison is the only college in the state to play football at the DI or DII level; in most other large states, the smaller public universities also play at one of those two levels. As a result, a few of Wisconsin's public schools have had much more football success and media coverage than you'd expect for a DIII school, with Whitewater probably being the most successful of the lot. Before the NCAA split into three divisions in 1973, the Wisconsin public schools would occasionally play and even beat schools that are now in DI; Whitewater itself beat now-FBS Central Michigan in its 1966 season.

This company, which uses an anti-gay/anti-trans slur as its name (possibly reclaimed?), was protected as a redirect to "Sissy", but the page has repeatedly been re-created. Most recently, the reason for this was an assertion that it would survive AfD, but the person making the assertion did not bother to nominate it to substantiate this claim. The references used in the article are broken (and looked like poor incidental mentions to begin with), there does not appear to be substantial third-party coverage establishing its notability (at least in English), and--although I know it is not dispositive--there is no Dutch page for this Dutch brand. Not every brand sold in stores is notable. Where is the "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject"?

  • Bueller 007, if you want to take issue with a company that in 1982 indeed reclaimed that term by proudly putting it on stores and on t-shirts, I suggest you take it up with them. Also, you should consider pinging the creator instead of referring to "that person". Of course, you could have pinged me already when you redirected it, without any discussion. You could also have told me you were putting it up for deletion. And suggesting that I should have nominated my own article for deletion just so I can prove you wrong is--well, what is the word? "Ridiculous" is the word. Is this sour grapes, Bueller? Also, Keep. Plenty of coverage. Recent news added--from one of the national dailies, and from the biggest national broadcaster.

    I'm wondering how carefully you read the article. It's not clothes sold in a store--it's a clothing store, with their own brand of clothes. It's forty years old. And what dead links? No, maybe no English coverage, but you should know that means nothing. No article in the Dutch wiki? Totally irrelevant--and articles on the Dutch wiki are often terrible anyway, and have no sourcing. Drmies ( talk) 21:11, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, this looks more like an attack on a name than a serious concern about the notability of the subject. I consider emptying the article as vandalism. Did you do a proper WP:BEFORE? The Banner  talk 23:24, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Per NEXIST: Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. The sources were out there all the time. Now they are in the article. Nominators should not nominate an article because they do not like the name of the topic and only ask where the references are. Enwiki does not have any rules that invalidate sources in the Dutch language. The article passes WP:ORGCRIT, the nomination fails WP:NEXIST. gidonb ( talk) 05:49, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. It would be fine to rename the article Termeer that has a wiki on a regional Dutch wiki-based encyclopedia. Sacha shoes, another subsidiary of Termeer has an entry at Nlwiki. As long as an intro on the parent and chapters on the subsidiaries are provided, this would he a legit approach to resolving nom's concern, further fostering quality coverage on Enwiki. gidonb ( talk) 12:24, 21 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    • I don't thin the nominator's concerns were justified in the first place, and we have many articles on such brands/stores/products/subsidiaries where the main "owner" doesn't have an article.

Accepted via AfC back in 2012 (am not sure how its issues didn't get flagged then), would never be accepted nowadays. BLP without any cited references (already an issue in itself). Gabrielle Geppert has a successful vintage shop, but this is not sufficent to confer notability as there seems to be very little readily accessible reliable sources about her, other than advertisements/promo in guidebooks, passing mentions of visits to her shop. (Jennifer Aniston dropped in once.) I couldn't spot any articles specifically talking about the shop that might have shown that the store had published notability in itself, let alone several reliable third party articles that would have collected together to demonstrate notability. The sources listed in the article (but not cited) seem to mainly be promotional, or self-published blogs. It was created by a single-purpose editor who has made no edits outside the article, and again last year by another single-purpose editor whose 5 Wikipedia edits were all on this article. Sadly, I don't think there is sufficient notability to be found here per Wikipedia's rules. Mabalu ( talk) 00:15, 5 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. While the article has multiple cited sources, only one of them is a reliable secondary source, the article in the Sunday Business Post - and that only mentions Mr. Caldwell in passing in the 8th paragraph. The Radio Luxembourg citation is a primary citation - Radio Luxembourg is where Mr. Caldwell worked. radio waves.fm is in fact repeating an article from the Meath Chronicle. While the article discusses Mr. Caldwell at some length (he is a native of Co. Meath), the Meath Chronicle is about as local a newspaper as you can get in Ireland, now that the Skibbereen Eagle is defunct, and certainly isn't a significant national or regional media publication.

List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1920–1929)

List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1920–1929) (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)

I have great respect for the creator of this article and I understand what they are trying to accomplish, but from a purely policy and guidelines perspective, I don't see this article meeting our notability guidelines.

  • First, this article is a standalone list, so WP:LISTN comes into play. WP:LISTN says that "Notability of lists ... is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable source." It also says "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been." Neither of these is met, which is evident by a simple search on Google and the current sourcing in the article.
  • Since WP:LISTN doesn't seem to be met, we can look at WP:GNG. However, a simple search shows no reliable sources covering the topic of "people who have played one NFL game". It is not something that is discussed or analyzed in news sources.
  • This also fails WP:NOTSTATS, as it is simply a regurgitation of a database query on Pro Football Reference and/or Pro Football Archive. This is very evident as the only sources in the article is from these two sports database sites (even though there are 170+ inline citations).

I don't doubt that there may be some extraneous benefits to this type of list, but in my opinion these benefits don't outweigh the glaring issues this topic faces when put up against WIkipedia's notability policies and guidelines. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:33, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Actually, the argument doesn't still stand. Your point (as originally stated) was that this was just a database dump. Not true. This is a highly-curated list which will use all available information (Pro-Football-Reference, Pro Football Archives, NFL.com, and newspaper clippings) to identify those players who truly qualify as one-game players. It also provides an array of other core biographical details. Cbl62 ( talk) 17:11, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Strong keep.
  • First, the list is enormously useful as an alternative to deletion. One-game players, especially in the NFL's early years, did not receive the type of SIGCOV needed to support stand-alone articles. Despite this fact, many sub-stubs have proliferated about these one-game players. This list provides an alternative to deletion, with an array of core information (and references) about such players that is not found elsewhere on Wikipedia.
  • Second, the topic of one-game players or " cup of coffee" players (both in the NFL and other pro sports) does receive substantial attention. See, e.g., this from The New York Times. See also this analysis of the best and worst out of the 1,167 one-game NFL careers. See also here and here.
  • Third, WP:NOTSTATS is absolutely NOT a rationale for deletion here. NOTSTATS covers "Excessive listings of unexplained statistics. Statistics that lack context or explanation can reduce readability and may be confusing; accordingly, statistics should be placed in tables to enhance readability, and articles with statistics should include explanatory text providing context." Here, the list is not a mere regurgitation of confusing or unexplained stats. It is a highly curated list of players with core details about their brief NFL and (where applicable) collegiate careers. It uses two separate databases (which sometimes do not agree) to identify the players who truly fit into this category.
  • Fourth, and while admittedly in the nature of "Other stuff exists," this list is fundamentally the same as the NHL one-gamers list that was overwhelmingly kept. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of players who played only one game in the NHL (2nd nomination). Cbl62 ( talk) 17:09, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Cbl62, I just wanted to note two things: I did not say this list couldn't be useful. But there are alternatives to Wikipedia for this type of information. And second, your New York Times article you cited is not applicable to this article, as it does not cover people who played in one NFL game between 1920 and 1929, a time when the NFL was a small-time league and employed just about anyone who could play. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:31, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
The NYT article and other sources noted above don't specifically focus on one-game players of the 1920s, but they do show that one-game players are a notable topic, and as stated in WP:NLIST, "notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been." NLIST also goes on to say: "Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability." This list fulfills all three of these purposes: information, navigation, and development." Cbl62 ( talk) 18:58, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep if used as redirect target There is not a basis for the BS notion of automatic notability, that people who played a mere single game are entitled to an article. Ted Richards (American football), for example, sourced only to this reference database without significant sources, should be redirected to this page instead. I would otherwise agree that it's a non-notable cross-categorization, but this makes for an ATD for completeness of such non-notable names. Reywas92 Talk 18:53, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
@ Reywas92: Service as a redirect target is one of the purposes this list can serve. In order to deter proliferation of sub-stubs, redirects could be created for the entries on the list that do not already have stand-alone articles. E.g., John Depner. A redirect to this list can also serve as an excellent alternative to deletion for sub-stubs that have already been created. And it also serves information, navigation and development functions that are explicitly approved in NLIST. Cbl62 ( talk) 19:02, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
I would not like articles to be redirected to this list, as I personally believe many are notable and pass GNG. (If not, I must be very lucky, as the other day I randomly picked four players on this list to make an article of, Karl Thielscher, Shirley Brick, Carl Etelman, George Slagle, and got the first three into excellent shape. I also did Ching Hammill, another 1920s one-gamer, yesterday, and got it to C-class and am nominating for DYK) BeanieFan11 ( talk) 19:15, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
A redirect for a non-existent article serves no harm. E.g., John Depner. If and when a suitable stand-alone article (with SIGCOV) can be created (e.g., Karl Thielscher), the redirect can be converted into the stand-alone article. Similarly, if an article like Pete Vainowski is deleted (and assuming not overturned at DRV), then a redirect helps direct the reader to the most pertinent available information on the player. Cbl62 ( talk) 19:27, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Also, three of the players selected played college football and gained attention from that. At the other end of the spectrum are the ones whose one appearance was not as a starter and who did not play college ball. I'd venture to bet a beer round that the overwhelming majority with one game as non-starter (and without college football) would not support a stand-alone article. Cbl62 ( talk) 21:36, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
While that may be true, I can guarantee the fourth one I selected (George Slagle, who didn't attend college) is notable per GNG. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 21:44, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. What I see here is not a redirect target, but an open encouragement to create standalone articles about all these people, since they all meet the WP:NAFOOT presumption. If you check List of players who played only one game in the NHL, you will see that all the names are blue. At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of players who played only one game in the NHL (3rd nomination), Masterhatch said When I created this article many years ago, my thought was to list the players with a short career summary without the need to create an article for each one. Over the years, though, editors created articles for each player anyway. If this list is intended to decrease the number of stubs about players who meet the NSPORTS presumptions, then it's likely to backfire. JBchrch talk 19:52, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Tellingly, Masterhatch voted "Keep", and I disagree about the perceived incentives. The relationship between the NSPORTS guidelines and GNG have changed significantly since the NHL list was created. In today's stricter environment, I strongly expect that most of the one-game NHL players from the 1920s would be deleted if brought to AfD today. Cbl62 ( talk) 20:20, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Masterhatch's vote was on sourcing grounds. JBchrch talk 21:55, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
When I created the NHL list 15+ years ago, I believed that a player who only played in one game and was otherwise not notable didn't deserve his own article. I felt a list of that kind with redirects and a player summary was better than stubs of iffy articles. I still believe today that a player whose only notability is a single game played probably doesn't deserve his own article. I'd rather see that player be a redirect to an article like this. If it's the case that things are getting stricter on which sports bio articles will make the cut, we'll need lists like this as an alternative (properly sourced of course). So, I'll vote keep here as I did there. Masterhatch ( talk) 22:45, 2 January 2022 (UTC) reply
I agree that (of the two counter-policy&guidelines options mentioned) this is the more elegant-looking and at least superficially encyclopedic-looking alternative. But I doubt it will prove to be an alternative as such: no sooner was it created than the NFL Wikiproject was discussing linking them all on the basis of their passing NGRIDIRON -- that sounds more like a to-do list and an WP:OTHERSTUFF ratchet than a manageable marginalia-mitigation measure. 109.255.211.6 ( talk) 13:24, 3 January 2022 (UTC) reply
@ 109.255.211.6: The list actually serves multiple purposes. It is a redirect receptacle for players who don't warrant stand-alones. E.g., Max Broadhurst and Heinie Schultz (new redirects from former sub-stub lacking SIGCOV) and Bill Connell, Fred Clarke (American football), John Depner, and Walt Frickey (redirects in lieu of new articles). It can simultaneously serve as a check-list to identify players that do warrant stand-alone articles. E.g. Karl Thielscher (newly created from list). Finally, it provides an informational overview (and links) for readers interested in the topic. Cbl62 ( talk) 14:22, 3 January 2022 (UTC) reply
"Checklists" should be in project-space, not encyclopedia articles. "Overview for readers interested in the topic" presupposes that it is a topic of encyclopedic standing: which pretty clearly it's not, as pointed out by the nomination. Indeed, it's a veritable compendium of WP:NOT. So as I said in my previous comment, that leaves one "least worst" purpose: that one unencyclopedic article is less bad than several such. Except that we'll get the several too, looks like. 109.255.211.6 ( talk) 07:39, 4 January 2022 (UTC) reply
If we "get the several too", this list facilitates a policing function. Anyone who puts this list on their watchlist will be notified when a new article is linked and can then check to see if there is SIGCOV. Also, the notability of one-game careers is evidenced by the sources I cited above and those cited by Bagumba below. Cbl62 ( talk) 20:45, 4 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Similarly to the point I made above, a "policing function" is something that projectspace is for. It does nothing to bolster the resemblance to an encyclopedia. The given sources are classic trivial mentions, and don't come within shouting distance of "significant coverage in reliable sources". The articles on Yahoo and in the TCPP are interesting in that they speak to the one-hit wonder angle, but they only cover 17 players between them, and neither has a similar (league-wide and arbitrarily time-specific) scope to that of this article. 109.255.211.6 ( talk) 11:25, 5 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Disagree. One of the important functions in policing such articles is to have an effective (and richly-detailed) receptacle for articles to redirect to, and we can't redirect to project space. Also, this piece ( here) purportedly examined all "1,167 [who] have only appeared in one game" to compile its list of the best and worst one-game careers. Cbl62 ( talk) 10:39, 9 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Regarding that source, we should discount pieces from Bleacher Report's bloggy, click-bait list creation days. Even today, we need to be careful with who their full-time paid staff writers are and the amateurs who are not.— Bagumba ( talk) 12:23, 9 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Here's a couple of more sources tangentially related to this topic: "They played in one game for the Vikings. That was it for a career."

  • Delete, although I appreciate all the effort that was put into the article, I do not see it meeting the notability criteria and the main reason given for keeping this article is the very reason I opposed its creation to begin with: it appears to be now used to get rid of early NFL stub articles through means of redirecting, many of which I could probably expand if given enough time. Another reason for inclusion editors here have expressed is that several one game players do get coverage, but my point is that there is only one source that even lists players from the 1920s. Yes there is the NYT article about six players--but that is about just six of them, and there are at least 1,000 (266 from this time period). Also, they do not discuss any from the era this page talks about. The only source listing all is Pro-Football-Reference.com, a database owned by Sports Reference. The other sources brought up by Cbl and Bagumba are ones by the Twin Cities Pioneer Press (discussing a single one-gamer), Bleacher Report (discussing ten of them), and Yahoo (discussing two), none of which discuss those of the 1920s, of which this AfD is about. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 22:12, 4 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Hmmm ... interesting since you were an active participant in creating the list. The dozen or so articles that have thus far been redirected here are all very short (no more than a sentence or two) sub-stubs which have zero in the way of SIGCOV -- and which have no more informational value than is provided by the list. I searched for SIGCOV for each of these and found none. If SIGCOV is brought forward, there is nothing that prevents you or anyone from reversing the redirect and re-creating stand-alone articles. Cbl62 ( talk) 22:48, 4 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • With some considerably mixed feelings, delete or move to project space. By the policies and guidelines -- as cited by Gonzo_fan2007 and BeanieFan11. Its scope is contrary to WP:NLIST and WP:NOTSTATS, and its contents rely on what are very low-quality citations: there's a distinct lack of WP:SIGCOV demonstrated. The basis of this is wholly the WP:NGRIDIRON "presumed" notability -- which seems to be rebutted here by a lack of WP:GNG, an WP:OTHERSTUFF line of argument, and that it might be convenient for editors in various ways. Editorial convenience can be assured by copying the substance or moving entirety of this list into project space. The OTHERSTUFF argument seems especially unfortunate, as it's not merely repeating the out-of-guideline existence of ht NHL example, it's even less compliant: lack of any source (other than bleacher's very cursory reference) for a "all one-game players" scope, and then splitting it by decade, further arbitrarily. And keeping this will lead to complaints that its "not fair" to players have have played more than once but fail to pass GNG, and presumably also to a present-decade article where players will churn on and off it constantly. Having said all which... it is an undeniably more elegant and encyclopedic-looking form than endless substubs. Which strictly we shouldn't have either, but the dynamic seems to push us to having one or the other. 109.255.211.6 ( talk) 14:07, 10 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: The IP user's !vote above is mostly incomprehensible, but they raise a singular good point: what about players who played 2, 3, 4, etc games but still don't fall under GNG? Why not instead of doing the list like this, it would be much more economical if you boosted toward completing Category:Lists of players by National Football League team. I note that a bunch of these older team don't have lists. It seems to me to be better to ditch this style of list into completing the team lists, and those become even better redirect targets. Curbon7 ( talk) 06:00, 17 January 2022 (UTC) reply
One-game players are a special class. There is special interest in (and coverage of) one-game players as such. Moreover, the 250 or so one-game players from the NFL's first decade are a particularly problematic group in terms of GNG. If someone were to devote the time to creating detailed lists on every NFL franchise, I agree that such lists could be effective redirect targets (albeit only in the case of players who only played for one team), but such lists do not currently exist. The existing lists of players by team are simple lists of names that don't provide any of the details provided here. Accordingly, they provide much less desirable redirect targets. Preparing details-rich (and individually-sourced) team-by-team lists for all 25,000-plus historic NFL players would be a monumental task. Creating such a list for just 250 players was a big task. Cbl62 ( talk) 11:11, 17 January 2022 (UTC) reply
One (hopefully) final thought on the redirect point. I am a fan of American football history and have endeavored for 14 years to enhance Wikipedia's coverage of the sport. At the same time, I acknowledge that GNG-level coverage is difficult to find for many or most one-game players of the 1920s. I strongly dislike the idea of redirecting an NFL player to a team list (e.g., List of New York Giants players) that provides absolutely ZERO information about the player. Such a list is nearly useless as a meaningful redirect target. That is why I developed this list. Since many one-player games are underdeveloped sub-stubs sourced only to Pro-Football-Reference, this list provides a more enriching redirect target. Indeed, it provides essentially the same core information as could be gleaned from a sub-stub. The list endeavors simultaneously to serve the purposes of both those who seek to delete such articles (providing an effective redirect target) and those who seek to enhance our coverage of early American football players (by providing the sorts of details that would typically be laid out in a sub-stub). That's my goal. I think it's worthwhile. Hopefully, others see the value. Cbl62 ( talk) 11:32, 17 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Surely more accurately an indeterminate positive number of good points, given its not being comprehended otherwise? (Such harsh marking.) One of which I'd (forlornly!) hoped addresses exactly this "special interest in (and coverage of)" point. No source has been offered with the same scope as this article. This is resting on an appeal to vaguely similarly scoped references: the Somewhere Someteam's two one-game quarterbacks, and so on. From that we'd have to infer that all one-gamers can be inferred to have such special interest, absent any such special coverage besides those sparse examples. Then from there we make the further arbitrary scoping decision, "we're gonna have lots and lots of these -- better chop them up by decade!" If we had a good source -- or even a couple of mediocre ones -- with this actual scope or one at all close to it, I'd be sold on this, as opposed to just semi-resigned. 109.255.211.6 ( talk) 08:21, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment This really doesn't seem to meet WP:LISTN. Ideally, the players wioch are non-notable here redirect to pages at Category:Lists of players by National Football League team, with the current information WP:PRESERVEd. However, when you have existing plain list of 100s of players, converting them to a table to retain the info involves mamually putting in a lot of repetive table formatting for columns of TBD data ( WP:NODEADLINE). Can this be automated? Otheriwse, do we just WP:IAR with this current non-optimal, interim solution to improve WP by avoiding permastubs?— Bagumba ( talk) 13:10, 17 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. It is a legitimate topic, a parallel article to Anti-Armenian sentiment in Azerbaijan. The two countries are at war not because of love for each other, there is a popular sentiment that drives the conflict in both states. There is plenty of information about persecution of Azerbaijani people in Armenia and in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, and the article could be further improved with use of additional sources. There is also scholarly literature that discuses the topic and could be used in this article. For example, Stuart J. Kaufman. Modern Hatreds: The Symbolic Politics of Ethnic War. Page 54. A very good source is a recent book by Laurence Broers, Armenia and Azerbaijan: Anatomy of a Rivalry. He discusses the topic in much detail, in particular, he writes: The structural context of Soviet Armenia's Azerbaijani minority and the patterns of violence against it suggest that rather than resentment or fear, it is hatred that was the predominant emotion towards this community in the Arm SSR. These and other sources could be used to improve the article. Grand master 19:47, 5 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The article may benefit from some rewriting and additional sources, but the topic itself is WP:NOTABLE, even being the subject of a World Court ruling. Other sources trace it to the beginnig of the 20th century, if not earlier. Brandmeister talk 21:25, 5 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    There is nothing about Anti-Azerbaijansim in the article you shared, and the issue at court was more about what Azerbajan did, which was displaying mannequins of dead Armenian soldiers in a trophy park. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 23:24, 5 January 2022 (UTC) reply

    If the International Court of Justice orders Armenia to stop hate speech against Azerbaijanis in that country, then it is because the court found that such speech exists. They do not make such rulings without relying on facts. Grand master 11:13, 6 January 2022 (UTC) reply

    They did not order to stop hate speech in Armenia, it ordered to take all necessary measures to prevent the incitement and promotion of racial hatred and in addition presiding judge Joan Donoghue said Azerbaijan must protect all persons captured in relation to the 2020 conflict who remain in detention" and must "prevent and punish acts of vandalism and desecration affecting Armenian cultural heritage Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 12:16, 6 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Both countries were ordered to prevent hate speech. I understand from this that the hate speech exists, therefore they were ordered to prevent it in the future. Grand master 10:07, 7 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Prevent, not stop. Getting the difference, Grandmaster? --Armatura ( talk) 17:55, 7 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Prevent from happening in the future, i.e. after the provisional measures are passed. The aim of provisional measures is to take immediate measures. Grand master 10:14, 10 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • If you read the ruling, Brandmeister, it’ll be clear that the court uses different language when addressing hatred in both countries - therapeutic for Azerbaijan (with concrete example of racial hatred like the hideous “trophy park”) and preventive for Armenia (as the court would remind any other country engaged in military action to not go down the route of developing ethnic hatred sentiment. They didn’t indicate the hatred ALREADY exists in Armenia). --Armatura ( talk) 04:34, 6 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Actually, the court ruling did not concern the trophy park. The court did not support the demand of Armenia that the park is closed, but it took into consideration that the mannequins were removed. But there was no ruling concerning the trophy park itself. Grand master 11:16, 6 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Where else were Mannequins displayed except for the trophy park? Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 12:17, 6 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Of course the court mentioned the trophy park and this many times. Specially point number 93 is interesting. Azerbaijan themselves mentioned the Mannequins and helmets displayed in the Trophy Park and the Court takes notice of their announced removal. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 12:36, 6 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Provisional measures make no mention of the trophy park. The court took into consideration the removal of mannequins, and that was all (point 93). No specific ruling in this regard. As for Armenia, the provisional measures say: The Republic of Armenia shall, in accordance with its obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, take all necessary measures to prevent the incitement and promotion of racial hatred, including by organizations and private persons in its territory, targeted at persons of Azerbaijani national or ethnic origin. Grand master 10:07, 7 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Could you indicate where the court calls for something like this from Armenia? The provisional measurements are based (for these reasons) on the conclusion mentioned from point 89 downwards which includes the mentions of the helmets and mannequins in the trophy park. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 20:19, 7 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    There are 3 measures against Azerbaijan, i.e. protect prisoners and monuments and stop hate speech. Park is not among the measures. Since offending items are removed, the problem is solved (at least for the court). The measures should be the same for both countries, but Armenia does not have any more detainees (Azerbaijan has a group of detainees captured after the war), and Armenia has no control over Azerbaijani monuments anymore after 2020 war. Whatever Azerbaijani monuments were in the occupied territories have been destroyed, and it will be the subject for further proceedings by the court, but since Armenia does not control those territories anymore, the court cannot order Armenia to take protective measures. Otherwise, both countries are ordered to prevent hate speech. Grand master 10:14, 10 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    I guess this is matter of interpretation of the verdict and you didn't answer my question which was: Could you indicate where the court calls for something like this from Armenia? But I guess this is actually for another talk page. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 18:25, 16 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Thank you. "The Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict" doesn't appear to include any mention of anti-Azerbaijani sentiment, and while "Azerbaijan since independence" does, it is limited to half a paragraph that doesn't support much more than the statement that "after the events at Chardakli, anti-Azerbaijani sentiment in Armenia grew" - this warrants mention in Anti-Azerbaijani sentiment, but I don't believe it is sufficient to support a stand-alone article. I also note that the current line doesn't match the source; the source says this rise in sentiment occurred prior to the first war, while our article says it happened after the first war.
On a side note, Svante Cornell has been criticized for being pro-Azerbaijan, which weakens our ability to create an article that is heavily sourced to his works. BilledMammal ( talk) 23:45, 16 January 2022 (UTC) reply

All other concerns about an article are covered by WP:PRESERVE.

This journalist does not meet criteria for WP:GNG nor WP:JOURNALIST.

The only reference in the article is about a battle that took place in Tosamaganga and has nothing to do with the school. Outside of that, a WP:BEFORE turned up nothing except for a few trivial name drops in articles about students of the school and a couple of school directories, nothing that would work for notability though, and secondary schools aren't inherently notable.

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

I proposed this article because "No evidence of notability. The single source is an extremely inclusive list of people with very short, stenographic "biographies", and hardly an indication of notability (looking at other entries, I see a lot of "apothecary", "reserve lieutenant", "veterinary", "engineer", ...)." The Prod was removed with the addition of "more references and an entire document about his biography that should establish a form of notability". However, these sources are:

  • A biography of his father, which just mentions Ivar as his son. Worse, the source for that document is ... Swedish Wikipedia. So an unreliable source which isn't about Ivar.
  • A book which mentions Ivar on one line as a sub-lieutenant, with about 30 superiors in that regiment alone.

As further reading is added a magazine from what looks to be a veterans association for a batallion, describing one of their former chefs. This is not an independent source but an organisation describing their own history, just like many company, club, ... member magazines do.

All in all, there isn't enough here to establish notability. Fram ( talk) 14:04, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment So an unreliable source which isn't about Ivar There are other sources that mention that they are related with a quick search. As further reading is added a magazine from what looks to be a veterans association for a batallion, describing one of their former chefs. This is not an independent source but an organisation describing their own history, just like many company, club, ... member magazines do. Many biography articles that are currently in mainspace currently are referenced by "non independent sources". Can you also define what that means by your standards. Primary sources are also more reliable in this specific context per WP:RSPRIMARY. SuperSkaterDude45 ( talk) 14:47, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    • For WP:GNG notability, you need sources that are independent and reliable (other, e.g. primary, sources can be used in articles in addition, but those can't be used to establish notability). That we probably have many articles which fail this requirement is a problem with those articles, but not a reason to let this one remain as well. Fram ( talk) 14:56, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - None of the sources in the current revision appear to meet WP:RS. I looked and could not find any better sources. As with many cryptos, the huge glut of unreliable crypto outlets makes it difficult to find sources, but in this case, I do not see any indication that better sources are being overlooked. Coindesk and CoinTelegraph aren't the worst sources in crypto, but neither is actually good. If that's the best that can be found, the article is not ready for mainspace.

DELETE or make into DISAMBIGUATION This is all original work and the personal of the primary author (as explained by the primary author on the talk page see Talk:Criticism#"Sophomoric").

The article has never had its primary theme "sourced" since its inception as a stub. The few sources that have been added over the years do not support the primary theme in this article as they are the ideas of the author. This article appears as the top reference for "Criticism" on Google, which reflects poorly on Wikipedia. The author is not available (permanent ban) to help source the unsourced material. Wiki-psyc ( talk) 22:51, 11 January 2022 (UTC) reply

The article is a unsourced unconventional personal essay (66% written by one editor) that has not improved in 18 years. If that seems acceptable you, vote "keep". But to be clear, this is not the place to take cheap shots at an editor who, in good faith, brought this matter here for review. Please stay in bounds. Wiki-psyc ( talk) 05:20, 12 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Comment My comment was not intended as a 'cheap shot', but as a reminder that no article is WP:OWNED by anyone here. You're required to do WP:BEFORE during the nomination process, and all I'm seeing is you attacking an editor in bad faith who wasn't blocked for any of their contributions to this article, but other issues well outside of it, and even stated in a post in their own words they know they don't own an article written here. As in any page in the WP: space, you must conduct yourself properly and can be questioned for your previous behavior within the article you nominate. As I've said in other discussions; if you have the time to delete, you have the time to contribute. And finally, we don't have any control over how search engines index Wikipedia pages; they will often index the wrong version of an article, and we don't delete articles based on how a topic plays with Google SEO. Nate • ( chatter) 05:33, 12 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Comment I would prefer to use this bandwidth to evaluate the article. The content does not appear credible to me. It is a large (49,696 bytes), 18 year old article with no reliable sources, no proof, no tracing of the content to determine that any of it is valid. That is the crux of it. It is a secondary issue that the primary contributor said that is was his original work. But if that is the basis of 66% of the article it further supports questioning the the validity of the content. All this seems reasonable. I hope something constructive comes out of this discussion for the future of this article. I question whether "stay the course" is the best decision given that state of the article and its history, but I am open to hear what others would suggest. I looked into reworking the article and I just don't see much that can be done with it (my opinion). Wiki-psyc ( talk) 06:15, 12 January 2022 (UTC) reply
True, the article could be fixed, but it would need to be scrubbed down to a stub. Almost none of it is salvageable and that hasn't changed much in 18 years. It has been tagged for over a decade and hasn't been fixed. Is there a reason? Is it possibly because this is a overly broad and diverse topic that is better dealt with in the over 100 articles on criticism already on Wikipedia. Would it be better to make this an organized disambiguation to direct readers to the more focused work? Certainly, it at at some point someone wanted to start over then could convert the disambiguation page. Just some thoughts to keep everyone open minded. Your point is valid. Wiki-psyc ( talk) 05:20, 12 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - it is a fallacy that merely because an article has quality issues (which this absolutely does) that it needs to be deleted.

Such-change47 ( talk) 02:09, 16 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Comment You make a valid point - quality should not be the only issue. How we got here is when I concluded that the encyclopedic elements of Criticism and Critique were the same and pointed one to the other. In our article on Critique it says that it is hard to make a distinction between Criticism and Critique. And if you read both, they essentially cover that same topic area. In hindsight, it probably would have made more sense to point Critique to Criticism but I was biased by the poor article quality of the latter. If we look at something like the scholarly articles from The Continuum Encyclopedia of Modern Criticism and Theory, it would make sense that the umbrella article be named Criticism (and noted as "also known as Critique"). That is just a suggestion if you do take this on as an overhaul. Thanks for your helpful comments. Wiki-psyc ( talk) 13:23, 16 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Does not meet WP:GNG, I can't find any coverage of this topic at all in books and academic databases, having searched Google Scholar, Google Books, and my local university database for several plausible variations on the subject title in English and Spanish. Maybe someone can find high-quality sources in Serbian, but I doubt it. We should not be coining articles for ethnic sub-groups unless they have received notability-generating coverage in peer-reviewed sources. Among the sources in the article, the closest anything comes to providing the solid ethnographic coverage that would justify an article is [16], which is primarily about the Serbian embassy in Mexico rather than "Serbian Mexicans", is woefully superficial as an ethnography of the Serbian Mexican community.

  • @ Minavahid: The history merge was a procedural action because of the request here above for it to occur and the tag that was formerly on the article page requesting it. Sorry, but this does not create notability for the subject. Attribution was not provided when the content from the draft page was copied and pasted to the main namespace article. The history merge fixes this, but does not imply notability. North America 1000 05:57, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Speculative article about a proposed capital. No mention of this topic in media, demonstrated by the lack of references in the article (the linked further reading don't even have any mention about metropolitan area). Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 03:25, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Jeromi Mikhael: it is not speculation, both Nusantara and Nusantara metropolitan area has already officially announced by the official government of Indonesia, even the official website has already explained it all, similar topic also found such as the New Administrative Capital for Egypt, and those capital didn't even have official name yet, but these Indonesian new capital already officially announced, you can even search about the official Indonesian bills in the official website regarding these matter.

This AfD is just a quick assesment on the worthiness of an article. If the government announce something regarding a metropolitan, I would gladly withdraw this nomination. Since most of the consensus is in favor of merging, that means that the article is not going to be deleted, but instead redirected to somewhere else, with the content still being viewable in the primary article. I suggest Mbis Saravon to do the merging themselves in order to kept authorsip attribution. --Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 05:19, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • @ Jeromi Mikhael: Merging the Nusantara metropolitan area to Nusatara isn't the right thing to do either, because both represents different entity eventhough it is interconnected. In Indonesian system, the capital region are comprises the capital itself as the core city and also the metropolitan area, you can see the former capital Jakarta and Jakarta metropolitan area are two different thing, and also it's applied to all main cities in Indonesia such as Surabaya with its Surabaya metropolitan area, Bandung with its Bandung metropolitan area, Medan with its Medan metropolitan area, and so on. And anyways, thank you for your concern guys, I believe it is part of your good faith to avoid any vandalism on Wikipedia, but my intention here was nothing but to give constructive contributions, I hope you guys could welcome or accept me here as part of the Wikipedia community.

  • I understand, but here it is. The proposed capital haven't been finished yet, and we already have three articles related to the new capital (the proposal, the capital, and the metropolitan concept). I understand that in the future this will be built. Because this metropolitan concept is still just an imagination at its best, there is no design or even a physical one (just an analogy according to the website), so it is better to combine them for the time being. If there is a clear plan from the central government and the media has covered it, then we can start creating content. So far what you have written is factual and balanced and I appreciate your constructive contribution here. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 05:53, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Once again, it is not "proposed", it is already "official", eventhough it is still under the development, it doesn't mean it's not official and not worthy to mention, the de facto capital of Indonesia is Nusantara according to the 2019 (and later renewed in early 2022) official bill. If you considered this project as "imagination", then explain me why some infrastructures already built there? It is already clear plan of government and the Indonesian media covered it, even the construction started since 2017 (if I'm not mistaken), in 2019 the President Joko Widodo a.k.a. Jokowi declared the official location of new capital that in 2022 "Nusantara" officially chosen as the new capital city name. Compared to similar article, the New Administrative Capital of Egypt didn't even have any official name yet it is allowed to exist in Wikipedia. And in Indonesian system, it is clear in Indonesia that capital city automatically will have the following metropolitan area. If you need to know more about Indonesian system, please kindly learn about it first.

  • @ David Wadie Fisher-Freberg: The metropolitan area which will covered Nusantara (as the core city), Balikpapan, Samarinda, and some other parts of East Kalimantan is already exist, how come you said there is no metropolitan area to speak of? the only thing that still under development is the Nusantara itself as the capital city, but the surrounding areas are pretty much ready, so the "merge" option isn't quite make sense since these region is exist and already prepared since years ago. Furthermore, in Indonesian system, the core city and metropolitan area are two different entity that shouldn't be mixed because it has distinctive regulations.

    It seems that you're not so familiar with the Indonesian system, the Indonesian terminology didn't have to be exactly mentioned as 'metropolitan area' but it bears the same meaning in English as the metropolitan area itself, such as the 'Jabodetabek' which is the popular name for Jakarta metropolitan area, the 'Gerbang Kertosusila' for Surabaya metropolitan area, and so on. If you go to direct-translation, the Surabaya metropolitan area name would be translated as "The Gate of Kertosusila" in English for instance, but in fact, it doesn't referred to any "gate" at all. And by the way your personal contribution should be something that you kept for yourself, it can't be used as the base argument to deprecate my contribution here WP:APR.

    Indonesian language actually has exact terminology for metropolitan area which is kawasan metropolitan as stipulated in article 1.26 of Law 26/2007 and article 17 of Law 11/2020. but there is no mention of either metropolitan area or kawasan metropolitan in https://ikn.go.id/. So your claim is simply unsourced. Ckfasdf ( talk) 11:04, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Btw, you can not translate "Gerbang kertosusila" into English as "The Gate of Kertosusila". Because it is an acronym of Gresik–Bangkalan–Mojokerto–Surabaya–Sidoarjo–Lamongan and not refer to actual "Gate" / "Gerbang". Ckfasdf ( talk) 11:08, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    May I ask you serious question, are you Indonesian who familiar with Indonesian capital naming system? and did you understand Indonesian language? I already gave you clue in my previous comments, and you can clearly find it on website. And did you just repeating my point? because that's exactly my point, even there's no "metropolitan" word mentioned on the website, the name can bears the same meaning as metropolitan area itself, please see another metropolitan areas of Indonesia so you could understand the pov. I wonder why it's so hard for you to grasp the information that I'm trying to deliver. ( Mbis Saravon ( talk) 11:19, 19 January 2022 (UTC)) reply
    See.. even you agree there's no "metropolitan" word mentioned on the website, and it was you and only yourself who translate/consider Kawasan Strategis Nasional (KSN) IKN/Kawasan Ibu Kota Negara (IKN)/Kawasan Pengembangan IKN as "metropolitan area".

    So, according to your logic, Jabodetabek ≠ Jakarta metropolitan area, Medibangro ≠ Medan metropolitan area, Gerbangkertosusila ≠ Surabaya metropolitan area because it has no "metropolitan" word in it? is that how you really think? ( Mbis Saravon ( talk) 11:27, 19 January 2022 (UTC)) reply
    Jabodetabek = Jakarta metropolitan area, Medibangro = Medan metropolitan area, Gerbangkertosusila = Surabaya metropolitan area, because there are references that said so, such as https://archive.unu.edu/unupress/unupbooks/uu11ee/uu11ee15.htm and http://pwk.lib.itb.ac.id/index.php/bibliografi/detail/7786.

  • Very weak keep. Assistant curator rather than head curator, at a regional museum rather than one at the national level of say the Met or MOMA (to pick two in the same state), definitely is not enough for automatic notability. We would need in-depth coverage of her work, sufficient to pass GNG. What we have is: non-in-depth listings of her marriage and degree; International but not in depth coverage merely quoting her as an expert on digital art (Artnews, The Independent, NYT, Jing), a local report on a talk she gave (The Horace Mann Record), the University of Buffalo promoting an exhibit co-curated with a UB faculty member (not independent; both the UB and Spectrum sources); a non-in-depth announcement that she was hired (Artforum); a non-reliable blog post, badly linked and disallowed as a source on a BLP (VOCA); local coverage of her exhibits (WBFO, WGRZ) an in-depth interview (Cornelia), and a single non-local in-depth review of an exhibit (Brooklyn Rail). The only sources among these that count at all towards notability for me are the WBFO, WGRZ, Cornelia, and Brooklyn Rail ones. If you are one of those editors who discount local sources and interviews as counting towards notability, then all that's left would be the Brooklyn Rail, not enough. I tend to think that WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE don't actually say anything about locality of sources and that discounting interviews as primary is a stretch, so the other three can count for me, but they're not very convincing. What pushes me from weak delete to weak keep is that we do have multiple major international sources that do not provide depth of coverage, but do make a credible claim that she is known as an expert on digital art. They don't directly contribute to Wikipedia-defined notability, but they make me more sympathetic to the idea that, as a known expert, she is the sort of person we should have an article on. — David Eppstein ( talk) 08:18, 9 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Mild keep Nothing in Jstor, she's got a few hits in Gscholar, but they don't appear to be papers, one looks like a .mp4 file of a lecture? She's got enough hits in the ArtNews or ArtForum, so she's relatively well-known. We know about the Knox-Albright here in Toronto, it's more than a local art gallery, more like a renowned, regional museum. I think this person is just over the line for notability. Oaktree b ( talk)
  • Comment as an aside, I've had a few of these Women in Red articles come up in the deletion process that I either worked on or started/created. Seems counter productive if we (Wikipedia as a whole) ask for the article to be created then nominate it for deletion later. I would assume there is at least a basic level of vetting before they add them to the WiR list, is there not? Oaktree b ( talk) 01:53, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    from my personal experience, no vetting required although some conversations end up taking suggestion A and end up discussing that subject within category B if it seems they don't yet meet GNG or the applicable SNG. Star Mississippi 03:16, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Oaktree b, Heads up that an appearance on a WiR "redlist" is not an indicator of notability. They are automatically generated from data in Wikidata. The lists have the language "All new articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria; red links on this list may or may not qualify." at the top. I know it gets lost in all the other text, but it is there. I also made the same mistake of thinking if a name was on a redlist, it was of a notable person. Wikidata is far more inclusive than English Wikipedia will ever be. There is a redlist of Badminton players listing over 5,000 players. Cause for a lot of head-scratching. Anyway, you do have to check that the subject meets notability criteria. Best, WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 02:24, 26 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete assistant curator is about as significant as assistant professor--it normally means not yet notable. The quality of the museum is irrelevant--all museums have junior staff who are not yet notable. . Being quoted briefly in articles about other people is not significant coverage. The way WiR articles can avoid deletion is by 1. taking care to select the many really notable people who do not yet have WP articles--(for example Cathleen Chaffee as mentioned above, who is the actual curator, not one of the assistants, and 2. writing encyclopedia articles that don't include minor material--that inevitable give the impression there isn't any major accomplishments. That way, any editors here who still might be unreasonably skeptical won't single them out any more than other articles. A few such projects have taken lists of 100 women in whatever, ,or women under 30 in some profession, and uncritically made articles on all of them. `` DGG ( talk ) 17:32, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete As DGG said, she is an assistant curator, akin to an assistant professor. Assistant professors who have not published more two books and are not widely cited do not qualify for articles. If she had authored numerous books, she may have notability as an author. Being an assistant curator at a middle tier (no offense meant) institution and doing normal assistant curator stuff does not qualify someone for an article. She is still early in her career, so there is plenty of time for her to rise through the ranks, author books, etc. Let’s see where she is in five to ten years and then maybe she’ll have passed the notability threshold.

Sure, everybody who contributed a chapter to a book that has been reviewed is now notable. WP:PROF says that the criterion that the person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions may be satisfied, for example, if the person has authored several books that are widely used as textbooks. But never mind, this is close enough, right? A sentence in a review here and there, and a chapter published. Hardly any citations, but who cares? We "rescued" an article. Well done. Congratulate yourselves. Vexations ( talk) 20:44, 23 January 2022 (UTC) reply
WP:NPROF also states, Criterion 7 may be satisfied, for example, if the person is frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area. A small number of quotations, especially in local news media, is not unexpected for academics and so falls short of this mark, and I think the available sources help support keeping the article - from my view, her recognition as an expert is a form of WP:SECONDARY commentary that also helps support WP:BASIC notability.

  • Keep the two reliable reviews of her books push this over the edge for me. There are also other reviews of her work, like her contribution to Efficient Causation: A history. [41] WP:Interviews like the Cornelia Mag piece sometimes are indicators of notability. Reliable sources don't usually do features about the careers of non-notable people. FWIW, I don't consider sources like NYT and the Independent to be local news coverage so being cited as an expert there has a little more weight with me towards NPROF.

None of the sources given talk about the subject of the article. The subject clearly fails WP:NCHURCH and is possibly WP:Self-promotion. It is also now an unvoluntary WP:FORK as its original subject was deleted from WP recently.
From what I remember, it seems the article has received some copy-paste of some parts of the now deleted (see this AfD) article Church of the Holy Paraclete (see this page move), but there is no crediting. If one looks at the previous versions, it is obvious it is the same subject as Church of the Holy Paraclete (which I remember was at one point renamed "Church of the Holy Spirit" according to the now deleted article).
I recommend deletion. Veverve ( talk) 14:22, 4 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nom. Old Catholicism in the United States is not so prominent a religious movement that we need to cover it on a state-by-state basis, nor do there appear to be sources which so analyze it. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:38, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete There are so many problems with this article that it is difficult to decide where to begin so I will start with the personal observation that I grew up in that area as a member of the Polish-descended Catholic community and never once heard "Old Catholics" mean anything other than "the little old ladies who came to weekday Mass to pray the Rosary." Moving on, I note that the supposed mother church for Old Catholics in Rhode Island is a closed church of a different denomination in a different state. Indeed, the article seems to be attempting an A:B and B:C therefore A:C type of argument through the Polish National Catholic Church. That the Old Catholic Church in the entire United States merits neither its own article nor mention in the Old Catholic Church article makes the notability of the denomination in the smallest state doubtful. The final nail in the coffin is that every apparent RS in the article does not refer to specifically Rhode Island Catholicism of any sort. Tl;dr version: Per Veverve's nomination.

List of films set around Mardi Gras

List of films set around Mardi Gras (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An unsourced collection of thumbnail plot summaries of films set in or around Mardi Grad. It has the same issues as the recently deleted List of films set around Oktoberfest. The article claims that this is a genre of film when it isn’t it’s just a setting. It’s a sort of fan’s list but there’s no indication that the list has any basis in film scholarship or other reliable sources. There are a few “top-ten” type listicles online but that’s all I found. I don’t believe this is a valid list article. Mccapra ( talk) 22:34, 11 January 2022 (UTC) reply

I offer the following counterarguments to deletion: 1. Do the other comparable "List of films set around holidays" have scholarly attribution than the lists I have proposed? For example, List of films set around May Day, List of films set around Mother's Day, List of films set around New Year, and List of films set around Valentine's Day are all unattributed and yet they were not targeted for deletion. Why should the List of films set around Mardi Gras require scholarly attribution beyond popular online listicles attributing them to the holiday of Mardi Gras? What type of attribution would be considered sufficient to prevent deletion and in what timeline would attribution be required? I have a full-time job unrelated to film, so I have limited time to do scholarly research on this topic or to reach out to film scholars for aid. 2. Clearly some people watch films about Halloween every year in October, about Thanksgiving in November, and Christmas in December. I believe these additional holiday-related film lists would inspire others to view films set around other holidays of the year as I have been inspired to do. Many of the online holiday film listicles are incomplete in scope and focus on the most recent films at the time of the online publication of the listicle. By compiling a more comprehensive curated list of films from several listicles, the various lists about films set around holidays provides a service to Wikipedia users. 3. In the interest of fairness and inclusion Wikipedia has an obligation to be unbiased in its coverage of films set around all holidays that are not exclusively celebrated in the United States or predominantly by Christians. The holiday of Mardi Gras/Carnival/Fasnacht is celebrated by multiple European countries and their former colonies. Wikipedia entries that encourage users to move beyond their own holidays and ethnocentrism would promote tolerance and understanding of other cultural practices. Beyond my efforts, I believe that international editors should be recruited to fill the gap in films set around holidays celebrated in India, China, Japan, etc. (examples described in this TV series https://smile.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07L4C5YWH/ref=atv_hm_hom_1_c_myhimm_2_2) that will most likely be non-English language films.

  • Delete - no references, dubious topic, contacted the page creator GMBuchold about their (now deleted) List of films set around Oktoberfest to discuss whether it's a good idea to create pages like this, no response. Mujinga ( talk) 00:11, 19 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete since I agree with Mujinga that this a dubious topic. A lot of the movie summaries don't even say what the movies have to do with Mardi Gras and "around Mardi Gras" could literally mean anything. So this goes against the guidelines for lists. Maybe List of films set at Mardi Gras would work though. I don't really know, but my inclination is to think it wouldn't. Either way, this list doesn't work. BTW, I think this kind of list does for something like List of films set around Valentine's Day because like someone else stated Valentine's Day movies are a genre, but Mardi Gras movies aren't. So they aren't really comparable. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 06:57, 21 January 2022 (UTC) reply
