Bunching parameter

"Bunching Parameter" has several different meetings that come up when you do a literature search. Once parameter is a figure of merit for klystrons. One has to do with the degree to which particle beam bunches are distributed along their direction of travel. And the one in this article has to do with the distribution of particles in an arbitrary phase space. I would argue that none of the three are sufficiently notable to warrant a Wikipedia article at this time. In particular, the subject of this article is primarily sourced to papers by the same two authors, and does not appear to have widespread adoption.

  • Delete or merge. From my talk page comments: In a recent computational particle physics package, there is a "BunchingParameters" class, but the sources for it point to 5 papers by Chekanov and one paper in which it was applied, with Chekanov also one of the authors. This metric for particle beam fluctuations just hasn't gotten any traction beyond the original authors. I wouldn't be opposed to a merge somewhere, perhaps factorial moment, but as it stands there isn't enough independent reliable sourcing to support an article. It's possible that there could be source support for a broader article on types of bunching parameter measures in physics and electronics, i.e., measures of particle flow deviation from Poisson. But this is not that article. --{{u| Mark viking}} { Talk} 00:22, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. I deprodded this because I found descriptions of a bunching parameter for particle beams going beck to the 1960s. However, it is now clear that this is not the same measure described by Chekanov & Kuvshinov. No evidence has been found that the latter has been used by anyone other than the original authors so it therefore lacks notability for a standalone Wikipedia page.

  • Keep The fact that there are no articles on albums released by Audiobulb is not really relevant - some labels are not principally album-driven, and album articles are pinged off of this site with alarming frequency anyway. The artist question is more relevant, and (at least) three notable artists is maybe not enough on its own, but it's getting there. What pushes me over is coverage - the material from Cyclic Defrost, Headphone Commute, NowThen, and this from Igloo is enough to make the difference. Chubbles ( talk) 13:48, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete The fact that the owner David Newman, a musician, has been interviewed in several publication, and mentions his record company in passing during those interviews does not consist of WP:SIGCOV. The Headphone Commute and the NowThen interviews do give the company some coverage, but those alone do not amount to WP:NOTABILITY. The Cyclic Defrost interview ( Link) is a perfect example of the types of sources used in the article which have no weight whatsoever; Audiobulb is simply mentioned in passing. It is not the focus of the interview and does not represent WP:SIGCOV. User:Chubbles's statement "three notable artists is maybe not enough on its own, but it's getting there" pushes me to vote delete because this company is clearly not ready for a Wikipedia page yet. The deletion of a Wikipedia page doesn't mean a subject is blocked for life; it just means that they have not achieved the notability required to warrant a Wikipedia page at this time. Once the company grows, they may be eligible for a new Wikipedia page.-- Fanofblackened ( talk) 18:18, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I agree with the above-mentioned Headphone Commute blog interview Link and the Now and Then blog interview Link that these are WP:RELIABLE SOURCES. But outside of that, and with those alone, there is not enough WP:SIGCOV and nothing to make up actual WP:NOTABILITY. A company needs a lot more than two interviews on webzines to generate notability. I don't see any significant importance in the scene to justify this record label having a Wikipedia page. It's an underground record label.
Also pointed out above is the fact that the company's owner David Newman has been interviewed a number of times, but the focus of those interviews was on his band (or solo project) Autistici. Examples like the already mentioned Cyclic Frost interview Link and the Textura interview Link are perfect examples. They only mention Audiobulb in passing. Maybe Newman, as an artist, warrants a Wikipedia page (in which case a Redirect could be placed on Audiobulb Records), but his company does not in my opinion. I'm also taking into consideration that this article was created by Newman himself in 2006 (16 years ago) and the company has yet to gain any additional notability or significant coverage. 16 years is a long time to "get there" and it probably shouldn't have been accepted on Wikipedia to begin with.-- OrangeZestAir ( talk) 20:19, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete This one fails WP:NOTABILITY. A record label needs more than a few interviews to achieve notability and be recognized as important or encyclopedic. I'm basing my vote on the following:
1. Not a single mention of the company on Newspapers.com or The British Newspaper Archive.
2. A mere 4 results show up on the Internet Archive, none of which offer WP:SIGCOV. 2 of them are listings of hundreds of record labels (Audiobulb has a small mention, or rather listing as one of them), 1 is a mention of the label in the thanklist of a Various Artists compilation released by another record label, and the last is some kind of DVD with no preview that was released by another company. Nothing here validates the notability of this company.
3. No results on ISNI, VIAF, LOC, WorldCat IDs or British National Archives (it is a British record label). While this is not uncommon for small record labels, ones of any stature would have some sort of results in there, direct or indirect. WorldCat proper only lists a single release held somewhere (though the library or archive is not listed, so it could have been a manual, non-physical entry); it appears to be a Various Artists compilation released by Audiobulb. This company boasts having released over 100 releases, yet nothing is held in national archives, libraries or databases? That, to me, is a clear sign of lacking notability.
4. The article is written with WP:PUFFERY and WP:NOR and reads like a press release. Attempts have been made over the years to clean up the article (including myself about a year ago) but puffery is continuously re-added by the owner in a WP:CoI. The article offers little interlinking to other Wikipedia articles other than the three bands brought up in the deletion request; no releases (be it album, EP, single, compilation, live or VA) have their own Wikipedia pages, and that would have been another good way to judge its notability. If the record label has not released anything of significance, then how can it be significant itself? I do not see this company as notable, important or encyclopedic.

    • Hi, Auric, thanks for commenting! I definitely didn’t think this was a hoax started by the creator of the article, and I hope it’s clear that I didn’t intend to imply that it was (I didn’t, and probably wouldn’t have, added the hoax tag to the article). One of the problems I have with the new info you've added to the article is that the claims for Gravata vs. Granata are quite different, and I'm not sure any sources actually connect the two (the claims are also pretty different re: the number of children/multiples and the location in Italy--one is Tuscan, the other is from Campania). I’m not sure if the French source linked by rsjaffe above links the two at all, as I can’t read French, but maybe it does? I’d be okay with changing the article to be clearer about the unverified nature of the claims, and the possibility this was a rumor/hoax of some kind that went around a lot in the early 20th century, but wouldn't that technically fall under WP:OR, since none of the sources actually say it was a hoax? CarringtonMist ( talk) 15:25, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply
The problem is that the story was sent by newswire and while the same information was in the initial stories, some typesetters were not as careful as others, like this article from the Alexandria Gazette that has Mocera instead of Nocera, and some papers didn't publish the full story or changed it to fit. Most of them mention a French paper, the Paris Register, whose source is other Italian papers, so there may have been some translation problems as well. My initial article was based on later news reports that lacked the detail of the first reports. I'm going to move it to "Granata case" if the article survives. Also the french source is about a Spanish case.-- Auric talk 16:04, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. This is fascinating. I'm in favour of deletion because we really have no idea, from these sources, whether this actually happened or not, as the nom says. I don't think this article can be written as PamD suggests, because that would be WP:OR, unless someone can find a secondary source discussing that this is a myth? And I don't see any good reason to perpetuate a (possible? probable?) error made by 19th-century newspapers by presenting this as fact. Excluding period newspapers, I'm finding nothing at all - nothing anyone could use to show it's a myth, but also nothing one could use to show otherwise. I'm not sure we even have enough information to really go looking - others have mentioned the name, but additionally there is no Liposta/Lipoata in Nocere as far as I can tell. (Liporta/o exists, though: [2].) So for all we know, neither of the names we have for her are correct either. -- asilvering ( talk) 06:18, 30 January 2022 (UTC) reply
You've got to understand this news story was published at a time when there was no unified spell checking as we understand it. Local typesetters might not have understood how to spell a foreign word from another language. Typos do not invalidate a source. Also, since there is no discussion of it as a myth, we can assume that it isn't one. There is a pattern where the original sources have more details with dates and names, which are gradually lost as the story diffuses. I've found mentions in sources as late as 1999, although the "fl" has been lost and they assume she died in 1886, despite the original sources that mention her "robust health" at the time. One of Ripley's cartoons mentions her, published in 1955, but with distorted details again (52 children instead of 62).-- Auric talk 11:39, 30 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  1. I think you're misunderstanding my point about the spelling. The point was that it would be difficult for anyone looking for information on her that does not come from the original news articles in question to be sure they had a "real" null result. If I find that there are no census records for a Maddelena Granata/Gravata, does this mean this story was completely fabricated? Maybe. It might also mean that her name was bungled before it even made it to the first news story.
  2. since there is no discussion of it as a myth, we can assume that it isn't one This is not how myths and hoaxes work.
  3. "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" is a good maxim to keep in mind here. These aren't just "not extraordinarily good sources", they are highly unreliable ones. I wouldn't trust a 19th-century gossipy news wire story farther than I could throw it, but additionally this is precisely the kind of story that is easy for newspapers to get wrong - difficult for overseas papers to fact-check, easily misspelled names and places, easily misreported numbers, and an eye-popping central claim. It's dubious until proven otherwise.
  4. The only claim we can accurately make here at present is that many newspapers reported this story, and said these things. Granata might be notable, if she existed. But the claim we can accurately make is not notable. No one appears to have discussed "this case was described in several newspapers", only repeated it. If the best we can do is WP:ITEXISTS, we don't have an argument for keep here. -- asilvering ( talk) 20:19, 31 January 2022 (UTC) reply
The article could be rewritten as a myth, but that would be WP:OR since all the sources refer to it as a fact. The point about names is well taken, but WP:UCRN applies here. At this point, I think I should have looked harder for sources before I published it. I'd be happy to have it moved to draft for more refining. -- Auric talk 15:08, 1 February 2022 (UTC) reply
In my opinion, it would also be WP:SYNTH/ WP:OR to explicitly connect all of these cases, since there don't seem to be any secondary sources that discuss this story as a whole. AFAICT we're the ones making the connections between different names, locations, etc. They're pretty obvious connections, but my understanding of WP:SYNTH and WP:OR is that that doesn't matter. I'm also not sure how WP:UCRN is related to the verifiability point that asilvering made? CarringtonMist ( talk) 15:18, 1 February 2022 (UTC) reply
I think that particular OR problem could be cleared up by wording choices pretty easily - but the far bigger problem is that there is no secondary reporting on this at all (that we have found), since in the absence of a historical document (birth certificates, pension record, etc) these newspaper articles are acting as a primary source (of a hoax, it currently appears). You're correct that WP:UCRN is not at all related to my point. -- asilvering ( talk) 18:57, 1 February 2022 (UTC) reply
I say WP:UCRN because the majority of sources call her Maddalena Granata while some (later) sources call her Gravata. We can assume these are the same people, because the likelihood of two women with almost the same name, from the same place, having had a very large number of surviving children and no reporting on this coincidence is quite unlikely. -- Auric talk 14:15, 2 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • The fact that you don't approve of the contents of the book, a sentiment I share, is irrelevant to the prospect of this being an encyclopedic topic. I do however agree that everything sourced to the book itself should be nuked from orbit. Geschichte ( talk) 11:17, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply
It is perfectly normal for a summary of a book to be sourced to the book itself. Unfortunately in this case the book itself is full of nonsense. I'm also in favour of nuking that section regardless of the AfD outcome. -- asilvering ( talk) 06:42, 30 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • No worries, I've certainly started at least one AfD with a nom that was on what was back then very dodgy policy grounds because it seemed the cleanest way to solve a problem in articlespace (my first nom was in this class, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephen Schwartz (journalist)).

  • Procedural keep - nom fails BEFORE, as per comment above, and no clear delete rationale has emerged in the course of this AfD. While the sourcing we have for the article isn't rock solid, there remains uncertainty as to whether there might be better sources. It looks like both of the authors might merit encyclopedic coverage, so the ATD merge opinion of MSG17 doesn't seem attractive. The article clearly needs cleanup: with that, the article might be better suited to improve in articlespace. — Charles Stewart (talk) 11:27, 2 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Someone made it their task to create pages on Turkey's relations with every country in the world. Now, the task is to root out the pages without merit. Turkey's relations with Nicaragua seem tangential, there are no embassies. This is not to say the countries are alien; some goods are traded one way, though none the other way; some meetings have happened, but most contact seems to be funneled through broader organizational frameworks. The cultural relations are probably pretty slim.

Another interesting thing is what has not taken place. Both countries have had their share of tumultuous events, where are the reactions, support, criticisms etc.?

To cast light upon the relationscruft we are trimming, these are the previous deletions of Turkish relations that I could find: Andorra, Barbados, Bhutan, Central African , Congo, Dominica, Eswatini, Fiji, Grenada, Iceland, Kiribati, Liechtenstein, Palau, Papua , Saint Kitts , São Tomé , Tuvalu , Vanuatu .

  • Keep: usually I'm a supporter of deleting unnotable bilateral relations pages due to a lack of significant coverage, and I agree that many Turkish bilateral relations pages were created with little concern for sourcing, but something clearly exists here: in 2013, the two countries signed an aviation agreement [5]; in 2017, Nicaragua's president called on Turkish businesspeople to invest in Nicaragua [6]; in 2018, President Erdogan congratulated Ortega for his re-election [7], and the Nicaraguan government sent congratulations for the 95th anniversary of the Turkish republic [8]; The foreign ministers of Turkey and Nicaragua met in July 2019 ( tweet for WP:V purposes) and on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September 2019 [9]. The foreign ministers met again in 2021 in Ankara where they signed an agreement on education cooperation and two memoranda of understanding [10], [11], with Turkey expressing opposition to sanctions against Nicaragua [12], and the Nicaraguan FM reiterating the collaboration of both countries on the strengthening of international law (which I assume is related to sanctions) [13], and discussing Nicaragua-Turkey relations [14]. In October 2021, the Nicaraguan government congratulated Erdogan for the 98th anniversary of the proclamation of the Turkish republic [15]. It is true that the two countries don't have embassies, but in October they both expressed their intention to open them ( Spanish EFE agency, again). I'm really bad with non-English Turkish sources, but if anyone wants to dig them out, they could also be useful to ascertain notability. Pilaz ( talk) 06:08, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • There was also a 2013 meeting between the minister of foreign affairs of both countries in 2013 at the UN, where the central theme was the deepening of economic relations [16]. A July 2017 meeting between the two (new) ministers in 2017 seems to have also taken place [17]. Regarding the opening of embassies, there was also this article [18], although I'm not sure of the date, given that two are listed. Finally, an in-depth article about Nicaragua-Turkey relations seems to have been written in the Nicaraguan newspaper La Prensa, but it's behind a paywall, so I can't evaluate its coverage [19]. Pilaz ( talk) 06:14, 1 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Multiple reliable sources cover the economic relations which, while modest, do exist. It's the level of coverage which determines notability not the volume of trade. Greenshed ( talk) 17:48, 30 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep in light of sources found by Pilaz. LibStar ( talk) 22:18, 30 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Hat tip to Pilaz for digging up some media coverage, but to me this doesn't cut it. I'm just seeing brief coverage of standard diplomacy. "The president sends his congratulations to the president on his election" kind of stuff. I'm not saying these countries don't have relations or that their relationship isn't important, I just don't see that anyone is really talking about it in any real depth. Yilloslime ( talk) 21:18, 31 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Although admittedly not the deepest relations, there is enough material here to merit an article, particularly in the light of the official agreements signed between the two countries, which is definitely distinct from the non-existent "relations" that we see on AfD and is indicative of something a notch up from your standard exchange of courtesies. Building on the sources given by Pilaz, see this for an overview of the two countries' relations in the Ottoman times as well as in the 2010s. That being said, if we had a separate article on Turkey's foreign policy on Central American nations, we may have considered merging (with some details also added to the relevant Nicaragua articles), but we don't, and a separate article is acceptable. -- GGT ( talk) 00:18, 2 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete At less than 60,000 Apex is still not at a level that a mayor is presumed to be default notable, especially since it is in a county with 1.1 million people, and not by any measure the leading community in the county. In the 1990 census barely 30 years ago its population was still under 5,000. In the same time period the county population has more than doubled. We seem to have articles on none of the people on the list, and if we did it would probably be a case like some cities I can think of where a mayor later became a member of the US house, but that is not a sign that being mayor itself was truly notable, and not a reason to create a list of mayors of a place. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:35, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Apex is not large enough that its mayors would be presumed notable just for existing as mayors, so it's not the kind of place where we need to retain a list of non-notable people referenced exclusively to a primary source. Bearcat ( talk) 17:52, 31 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Apex, North Carolina#Government. At 60k, Apex is a sizable city. Nevertheless, none of its mayors have entries as of yet. Hence, per WP:ATD, redirect this list to Apex, North Carolina. Several of the mayors are mentioned at Apex, North Carolina and the mayor of Apex gets updated right there! Without prejudice against recreation if and when multiple mayors ever get stable articles. gidonb ( talk) 13:26, 4 February 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Importance is not found by size alone. A place this size in the immediate vicinity of a much larger city does not have the importance that a quick analysis of size alone would suggest. Also, its current size is a very recent development. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 20:55, 4 February 2022 (UTC) reply
Correct. Apex grew most of the 20th century, and the growth in the 1990s was explosive. You're making a solid argument to keep. But even with this large population, theoretically, a mayor can be elected and shortly thereafter die or resign. Or when Apex was small an accomplished business leader or academic may have become mayor or a mayor may have had a notable political or managerial career after their term. As you mention, one does not know by size alone. All this is very interesting in theory BUT we are not discussing here whether to keep or delete a mayor's article. This is about a list that, objectively, has no items with articles. Hence a redirect per WP:ATD makes sense. Keep or merge not as much. At least not to me. If other editors create solid articles, I'll reconsider. For me, the proof is in the pudding. gidonb ( talk) 00:24, 5 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. Only decent sources would create an article in violation of WP:BLPCRIME. ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 16:35, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply

This section of the scope focuses on harmful behaviour and demonstrates evidence of spiritual abuse, bullying, coercion and control, naked massages and saunas, forfeits including smacking with a gym shoe and ice baths. There is also a serious incident involving a sexual act performed in front of someone that has been reported. The impact of these behaviours on a number of individuals caused harm and many will live with this impact in the long term. SOURCE: [1]

It is "unsourced" negative content that is a BLP concern, not such properly-sourced content. I see a concerted effort to delete properly sourced content about his proven abuses. The parallels to a similar article are interesting, and it is also undergoing whitewashing: John Smyth (barrister). These deletions are improper and reveal an abuse of BLP. We are supposed to document these things if they are mentioned in more than a couple RS, and they certainly are. See WP:Public figure. The number of RS dealing with this makes him a notable public figure. Without that he's just a public figure. This isn't just about one event, but a pattern of abuse over many years. -- Valjean ( talk) 17:13, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Only a torturous reading of WP:PUBLICFIGURE would make someone meet wikipedia's definition of a public figure based on one alleged series of events that is also the sole basis for creating an article.

    • This isn't "alleged", but proven. Even if only alleged, WP:Public figure is about "alleged". This man's long pattern of abuse made him notable. We're not dealing with someone notable only for a single event. That would be different. -- Valjean ( talk) 17:32, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: If anyone can explain to me how this does not meet GNG, I'd like to hear it. There's multiple significant independent reliable sources.
    As for the content dispute, abuse is not always necessarily a crime, and furthermore WP:BLPCRIME does not apply to public figures. Some say they're not a public figure, but, a Church leader who is considered influential by reliable sources and has been reported on in the media long before allegations of abuse, to me, easily meets the criteria of 1) significant influence, 2) widely of concern to the public, 3) can benefit from their position in society, and 4) and is closely related to public interests in society. –– FormalDude talk 17:53, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. The purpose of Wikipedia is to document the sum total of human knowledge as it's found in reliable sources. Therefore, our primary function is inclusionist by nature. We first seek to build and include, not destroy and delete. Content submitted in good faith should be viewed with an eye toward improvement and inclusion, saving deletion as a last resort.
Wikipedia has a legitimate and necessary deletion policy, but that does not mean that all proposals to delete an article, aka an AfD, are legitimate. Therefore, editors should ignore all problems with the article and ask themselves only one question: "Does this article pass our general notability guideline (GNG)?" If so, !vote Keep, as that is the only relevant question at an AfD. If the article appears to fail GNG, then ask: "Can it be rescued by finding more RS to establish its notability or otherwise satisfy GNG?" If so, then advocate for that before finally !voting Delete.
All other concerns and problems with the article are covered by the editing policy's enjoinment to preserve all content added in good faith. Wikipedia is inclusionist by nature, so editors' first impulse should be to fix, improve, and include. -- Valjean ( talk) 18:33, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
GNG is just a presumption, per "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information., and Wikipedia:Notability (people)#CRIM seems to me to advise against an article of this sort. ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 18:43, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Firstly, the subject is not a criminal, so WP:CRIME is not technically involved. Subject was a senior churchman who committed misconduct, confirmed by an independent review. However, if we take that guideline and replace "crime" with "misconduct", the second of the points for perpetrators from WP:CRIME is met: The motivation for the crime/misconduct or the execution of the crime/misconduct is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role.
I would suggest a clergyman being "engaged in a range of harmful behaviours that have been experienced by a number of people, through demonstrative accounts including a serious sexual act performed in front of another person, spiritual abuse, bullying, coercion and control, naked massages and saunas, and forfeits including smacking with a gym shoe and ice baths" (extract from the independent review, p.89) is extremely unusual and noteworthy. Likewise the coverage he received was sustained and significant. Ephesians511 ( talk) 19:38, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep (declaration of interest - article creator) the subject is a senior churchman (many sources describe him as "highly influential" or an "evangelical pope") who committed a range of harmful / abusive behaviours (physical / emotional / sexual / spiritual) over a prolonged period. I would suggest that is notable. He received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, so WP:GNG is met. Ephesians511 ( talk) 19:23, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Coverage in the Telegraph and other RS in article suggest he is notable. Agree with FormalDude's explanation. A. C. SantacruzPlease ping me! 19:42, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment my original article was well-referenced and accurately represented the published sources. Some minor BLP concerns were identified, possibly resulting from the misunderstanding that the subject is a criminal, but both before and whilst I was trying to address them, much sourced material was deleted. I agree with Valjean that this was whitewashing. I will continue to try to improve the article whilst the AfD is open, but it is difficult when my edits, made in good-faith and BLP-compliant, keep getting reverted. Ephesians511 ( talk) 19:49, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Since you know the sources better, I have a question for you. Does the "naked massages" referred to imply that it's his nakedness that's the problem? One reference to him getting an erection while giving a massage seems to indicate this. (It's normal/common for the one getting the message to be naked, but not for the one giving the massage, except in an erotic situation. Then it's quite normal.) In other references to nakedness it's pretty obvious it's his nakedness that was seen by some as inappropriate. -- Valjean ( talk) 21:12, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
Hi, interesting question... I didn't spot anything in the review where they discussed why certain physical acts were problematic. They just considered that they were unacceptable, and I don't disagree. The real concerns were Fletcher's overall pattern of bullying and coercive control, which manifested in many different ways, not all of them physical, and that he was able to continue unchecked for many years. This next bit is original research, but my feeling is that, if a clergyman was involved in giving/receiving massages, and nothing else, even if both parties were fully clothed, it would still be regarded as improper. That would apply even if one of the parties wasn't a parishioner or similar - it just wouldn't look right, given the potentially sexual nature of the act. If a parishioner was involved, there's also the unequal power dynamic. The only thing that I could see as being OK is if a clergyman received a therapeutic massage from a professional - there might be a few strange looks, but I don't think it would result in disciplinary action! Ephesians511 ( talk) 22:22, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - I don't believe this person is notable outside of the allegations of abuse. This person's prominence also does not satisfy my idea of a public figure to survive a BLPCRIME removal and there are not adequate levels of high quality neutral sources to survive the requirements of WP:WELLKNOWN and WP:REDFLAG. Morbidthoughts ( talk) 00:08, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep This opinion piece in Christian Today paints a picture of a very public, very influential clergyman and it outright compares him to C of E bishops, which would be public figures per our existing understandings. Regardless of how much scandal to include or not include, the case is pretty convincing that he has been a long-term public figure, and so the debate should be about what to include, rather than whether to have an article or not. Jclemens ( talk) 07:24, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    The writer says he's arguably as influential as a CofE bishop, linking to another op-ed he wrote. It was not a statement of fact, it was a single author's statement of opinion, that linked to the author's own opinion for support. If he were actually a public figure there would be some coverage of that before the abuse allegations, and it would be widespread in reliable sources. As it stands, all of the Telegraph sources are by the same author following up on the case, and then niche religious publications after the allegations. The only sources from before the allegations are routine coverage, and an interview with a blogger. In my opinion, that doesn't reach the bar of being a public figure. ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 02:40, 30 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    Two thoughts: First, it's entirely normal for a single reporter to cover a story longitudinally. Second, "niche religious publications" are precisely where we should expect to see coverage of a notable/public religious figure. Few get mainstream media coverage, but that doesn't stop us from covering them on the basis of religious RS coverage. Jclemens ( talk) 19:33, 30 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I can sympathise with those who want to keep this article, but BLPCRIME applies here.

A living person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until convicted by a court of law. Accusations, investigations and arrests do not amount to a conviction. For individuals who are not public figures; that is, individuals not covered by Public figures, editors must seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed, or is accused of having committed, a crime, unless a conviction has been secured.

In this case the subject of the article is the subject of accusations and an internal investigation that upheld those accusations. However he has not been convicted, and there's no way to discuss the inquiry without suggesting that he has committed crimes. While Fletcher apparently had influence within a particular strain of the Church of England, it wasn't significant enough for anyone to write about him in any depth prior to this and he's nowhere near being a public figure.
Ultimately we're left with little more than basic biographical details, some routine mentions in local press and Anglican websites, and a huge elephant in the room that we frustratingly can't touch. That doesn't add to up to the significant coverage that GNG requires. -- RaiderAspect ( talk) 02:16, 30 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete -- Innocent until proved guilty does not apply here, as there has been a ruling by a church court preventing him from ministering as a vicar. However, except that he has been reported in a national newspaper (or its on-line counterpart), there is nothing in the article to make him notable. As he is now 77, it is likely that he will retire and not be heard of again. Peterkingiron ( talk) 18:02, 30 January 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. There is sufficient coverage in RS to pass GNG, which is the only relevant question to ask in an AfD. Any other deficiencies or problems are covered by WP:Preserve, which says we should improve, not delete. There are other options than deletion. -- Valjean ( talk) 17:52, 5 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Delete per RaiderAspect and Peterkingiron: We DO NOT preserve damaging articles and content against policies and guidelines. It is not the purpose of Wikipedia to champion the victims. According to the article lacking a death date, this is a WP:BLP. The relevant policies and guidelines are clear: 1)- The subject has not been convicted, 2)- the notability would rely on accusations, that I imagine would bring in WP:BIO1E as well as WP:BLPCRIME. I presume "clergyman" (parish priest) does not present a presumption of notability by itself. 3)- Even if there was more notability "the statement "Innocent until proved guilty does not apply here", is bewildering. A conviction would follow (I am pretty sure) a verdict of guilty that would present a better argument for inclusion if it received significant coverage. WP:BLP states in the This page in a nutshell: Material about living persons added to any Wikipedia page must be written with the greatest care and attention to verifiability, neutrality, and avoidance of original research. and in the lead; Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Wikipedia page. Such material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere strictly to all applicable laws in the United States, to this policy, and to Wikipedia's three core content policies, and We must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources. Even after all that, especially as long as the subject is living, this article would be a smear or some agenda in that direction possible needing lifetime protection or sanctions of some sort. I don't see enough net gain to having this article at this time. -- Otr500 ( talk) 17:52, 6 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete This article is an emblem of the legacy of the wild west conditions under which Wikipedia was built. Although I would argue since we still have not required all articles to go through AfC we have not yet overcome those conditions as much as we would like to think. The article has exist for roughly 18 years, and has been tagged as lacking any sources for roughly 13 years. About half is information connecting him by familial relations to other people who were notable. Even ambassadors are not default notable, but the commercial secretary is almost sure to not be notable, and getting bit by an unidentified insect and dying is not a sign of notability either. I am really shocked how many totally not meeting any inclusion guidelines articles from 2004 there still are. I once avoided participating in discussions on dead people on the view that Wikipedia was too presentist. I still think it is, but that is no reason to keep articles on people from the past that clearly do not even come close to meeting notability. With the popularity of family history research I am in some ways surprised that we do not end up with more articles on non-notable but sourceable deceased people. Although in this case there are no sources presented at all. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:47, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Florentyna, you cannot !vote twice, so you should remove the second !vote. As for the unlinked abbreviations, WP:GNG is the general notability guideline that is required for almost all biographies on Wikipedia. WP:NBAD (which you linked) is on the WP:NSPORT page, the first sentence of which says This guideline is used to help evaluate whether or not a sports person or sports league/organization (amateur or professional) is likely to meet the general notability guideline, and thus merit an article in Wikipedia. At the top of the page there is a collapsed section with FAQs; 1, 2, and 5 directly state GNG must be met for athletes. I will also note Google hits are not a useful metric for Wikipedia notability and are in fact listed as an argument to avoid in AfD discussions. JoelleJay ( talk) 00:34, 3 February 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete We need to actually enforce the Wikipedia rule against autobiographies. I had a friend who would have made an article on herself if it was not for the rule, because she felt that as an anonymous moderator on a Harry Potter fan fiction site she met notability criteria. I am 100% sure even if she used her real name in that position she would not have met our inclusion criteria, at least not now. Back in 2006 our inclusion criteria were very loose, and if it intersected with pop culture fantasy or science fiction I am not sure we had any limiting criteria in 2006. It is that experience that convinces me we need to be dilligent in enforcing rules against autobiographies, because people often have inflated views of their own importance.

  • Delete, or if anyone is concerned about alternatives to deletion, possibly redirect to Make Me Famous.

Comment on the possible suggestion suggested here :-) I checked the Skid Row (American band) article. It contains exactly one reference to the article discussed here, and it uses a rather tenuous source for the mention.

This article was written a mere five days after it was originally deleted ( AfD discussion in 2017) by a user who was globally blocked after doing so. I imagine this was an attempt to circumnavigate the original AfD. This is essentially a redundant content fork of Italian East Africa, the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, and the Italian invasion of British Somaliland. Sources do not seem to fold all of these things into one big conflict, and the area itself as an Italian territory is covered at Italian East Africa.

Doesn't seem notable enough. WP:GNG is definitely not met (the sources on the article don't seem reliable, and I haven't been able to find any better ones on Google). WP:BAND does not seem to be met to me. You could maybe make an argument that they meet criterion #5 of WP:BAND: "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)." However, I don't think Artoffact Records counts as a "more important indie label" (based on a quick look through the other bands on their roster), and I don't know that you can say ∆AIMON truly has "two or more albums" with Artoffact (unless you count remix albums or EPs).

This article was discussed at WP:BLPN#Narcis Tacau. The subject appears to lack independent notability and the article attracts WP:BLPCRIME issues. It's been stubbed; in its prior state, it was borderline eligible for G10 and indeed G10-tagged by Netherzone (the tag was removed by Liz, who took the article to BLPN). Consensus on that noticeboard, which I concur with, is that the article is not appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia. Vaticidal prophet 02:06, 28 January 2022 (UTC) reply
