WP:BLP of a writer and television personality, not reliably sourced as passing our notability criteria for writers or television personalities. The referencing here consists almost entirely of primary sources that are not support for notability at all, such as IMDb and YouTube videos and content self-published by his own employers, with the only semi-reliable source in the bunch being a university student newspaper that glancingly mentions the show Nemtin was on without ever mentioning Nemtin as an individual, thus not counting as a data point in support of his standalone notability. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced considerably better than this. Bearcat ( talk) 19:38, 9 May 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep WP:NCRIME really just tells us to make sure there are good sources (I think there are) and directs us to the full guidance at WP:CRIME. WP:CRIME, as I read it, cautions against a separate article for the person (all good, that's not the situation here), cautions about BLP compliance (I think this is fine, but will update my !vote if someone says otherwise) and that it's well documents (I think it is, there are multiple news sources). So to me, I think it's in line with the guidelines, which supplement the WP:GNG, which I think is met. But if I've missed something, please specifically tell me how and I'll revisit my !vote CT55555 ( talk) 23:57, 16 May 2022 (UTC) reply


CT55555 NCRIME is in the EVENT page. This may pass WP:EVENT as there are articles from 2015 and 2022, so durability is there. And there were section 144 after murder.

If an article passes NEVENT but fails NCRIME, then such articles should be deleted? And how is this biography article as the nominator is saying? Ivan Tsar ( talk) 09:37, 17 May 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. A merge might be appropriate if there is a suitable target, but the nom makes no argument for deletion. Facially, this article seems to cite to ample independent reliable sources to meet the threshold of WP:GNG and WP:NEVENT. As for WP:NCRIME, in its current entirety that section reads as follows:
    Articles about criminal acts,[5] particularly those that fall within the category of "breaking news", are frequently the subject of deletion discussions. As with other events, media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act, provided such coverage meets the above guidelines and those regarding reliable sources.
    The disappearance of a person would fall under this guideline if law enforcement agencies deemed it likely to have been caused by criminal conduct, regardless of whether a perpetrator is identified or charged. If a matter is deemed notable, and to be a likely crime, the article should remain even if it is subsequently found that no crime occurred (e.g., the Runaway bride case) since that would not make the matter less notable.
    NCRIME thus does not provide any distinct grounds for deletion. -- Visviva ( talk) 23:00, 23 May 2022 (UTC) reply

The result was no consensus. After much-extended time for discussion, there is a clear absence of consensus as to what should be done about this article. There is clearly not a consensus to delete. The support for keeping an article invokes a thread of sufficiency from a rather poorly articulated policy, but it can not be said to be clearly against policy. Nothing in this close forecloses an immediate proposed merger with a better developed supertopic article (a proposal also made but not further developed in this discussion).

    Lithuania is a small country (65,300 km2, less than 3 million population) with approx 25,000 buildings with heritage listings. I do not believe a reasonable, sensible approach is that all those buildings are inherently notable. AusLondonder ( talk) 12:46, 2 May 2022 (UTC) reply

    You should have been here long enough to know that "keep per X" is perfectly acceptable shorthand for "the other editor has said exactly what I think". It should most certainly not be disregarded by the closer and any attempt to do so would be in breach of the closer's responsibilities. Complaining about it is tantamount to suggesting you're angry that other editors don't agree with you and are trying to get their opinions disregarded for that reason.

  • Delete This article is supported by 3 sources, 2 of which are not independent and the third does not have any data with which to verify the rest of the article.

"Presumed to be notable" however we do not currently have independent, reliable sources to back up that presumption. Does nobody read links? We do indeed have an independent, reliable source as to the building's notability. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 16:11, 23 May 2022 (UTC) reply
We have two .uk sources which by their definition are not independent leaving us with this source which is connected with this one you linked above. This is why I relisted, because no don't have sourceS to back up that presumption. Star Mississippi 16:31, 23 May 2022 (UTC) reply
To quote once more: Artificial geographical features that are officially assigned the status of cultural heritage or national heritage, or of any other protected status on a national level and for which verifiable information beyond simple statistics is available, are presumed to be notable. Not, are presumed to be notable if multiple sources can be found. That would be changing an established guideline to make it fit your own beliefs as to what it should say. We clearly have "verifiable information beyond simple statistics". It therefore clearly meets the requirements of the notability guideline. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 16:45, 23 May 2022 (UTC) reply
As far as I understand, presumed to be notable is the same issue we have with the sports guidelines v. GNG. Presumed notable, means presuming coverage that hasn't been found to exist. At the top it says Geographical features meeting Wikipedia's General notability guideline (GNG) are presumed, but not guaranteed, to be notable so I don't think I'm adding anything that isn't there, albeit in a different section. It is unclear whether this building meets the GNG. But we agree to disagree as we have in other areas, and I'm happy to leave it there. Star Mississippi 17:07, 23 May 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Notability established with references such as its inclusion on the Lithuanian Register of Cultural Property. -- Bookworm857158367 ( talk) 23:30, 25 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. WP:NBUILDING is not well-written, but my reading of the discussions that lead to it is that cultural heritage or national heritage is meant to be a sufficient condition for an artificial geographic feature to be notable. Some above have argued that they don't like that Lithuania has a large number of buildings on their cultural heritage list, but there's a community consensus (via the NGEO guideline) that these sorts of lists are valuable measures of notability. There's no inherent notability for embassies, of course, but this is moot given inclusion on the cultural heritage list. Since criterion 1 of WP:N explicitly allows for an WP:SNG to be met even when the WP:GNG is not met, and an article still be notable in that case, the arguments that this fails GNG also don't provide a compelling reason to delete. The editor who argued that their overnight stay at the building didn't give them the impression that the building was notable does not seem compelling whatsoever in light of the WP:PAG not caring at all about the vibe the building gives off when one personally visits it. For these reasons, my reading of guidelines is that this building merits an article and should be kept. — Ⓜ️hawk10 ( talk) 19:11, 26 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete The register of Cultural property listing actually says nothing interesting about the building. The date of construction is given rather imprecisely - 18th-19th century, and that’s it. Nothing is said about the architectural style, or about any interesting features of the structure, or about the architect. If that’s all we have, it’s not worth keeping the article. Nwhyte ( talk) 09:13, 27 May 2022 (UTC) reply
I think the fact of its inclusion on the Register of Cultural Property alone is enough to establish its general notability. Additional detail about architectural style, etc., would be nice but is simply not necessary. Bookworm857158367 ( talk) 10:59, 27 May 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Meatsgains:
Azerion is a digital entertainment and media company based in Schiphol-Rijk (Amsterdam). They recently became a publicly listed company and are a very notable corporation in the gaming world; covering digital publishing, game creation, and ad tech. As they have significant coverage in reliable news sources (Reuters, Silicon Canals, Tech Times, Tech.eu, etc) I have created a Wikipedia page for them as they are a thriving enterprise. As Azerion is a Dutch company, they have a Wikipedia page written in Dutch. I have taken it upon myself to create an English language Wikipedia page to get more reach globally ( https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerion).
I have made more contributions to my wikipedia article to further prove their notability and will continue making changes until it meets Wikipedia's standards.

Article about a Colorado state legislator without any significant claim to fame or notability. Subject fails WP:GNG and even more so WP:NPOL.

This page inappropriately is being used to describe a multitude of boats of the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. There are several different boats considered "RAC", and if this page exist, it should be a disambiguation page which directs to articles that represent the said boats, if there is even enough information to make pages on them. At least 3 different boats are considered "RAC": the RAC-28 (an interceptor/interdiction boat), RAC-55 (a transport) and the Swift Riverine Assault Craft, 11 Meter (also a transport). This page also improperly shows a "RAB", the "riverine assault boat", which is a different boat altogether.

This is one episode of a TV Series. I don't normally participate in discussions like this, but I have to ask this. If one episode of a series is noted as unimportant, subjecting the article page to face deletion, then all episodes of that series should get the same treatment. Everything is "notable" to someone. My understanding when Wikipedia was launched is that the content of the pages and the creation of the pages would be up to whoever cared about those pages. Now we're just deciding that all of the work done is unimportant. Which discourages anyone from making any change on this site. I no longer care if the pages that I've worked on over the last 20 years are deleted on Wikipedia. I've given up on trying. Do what you will. Chadlupkes ( talk) 21:08, 16 May 2022 (UTC) reply

      The review provides 499 words of coverage about the subject. The review notes: "New series Evacuate Earth (Tuesdays, 8.30pm, National Geographic) looks at possible apocalyptic scenarios. Tonight's episode, Micro Monsters, focuses on the risks associated with nano technology. If last week's episode, Zombie Apocalypse, was anything to go by expect lots of over-dramatised scenes of terrified crowds, fake news coverage and doomladen background music. Hyperbole is the key word here and I was prepared for some implausible nonsense. But actually the whole premise drew me in more than I thought it would. ... There were plenty of talking heads thrown in to lend some credibility. But they too had bought into the drama with one of them describing "rabid people overflowing into the streets". .... There are plenty of cool graphics, some history in cartoon form and stacks of amazing facts. It's all pulled together by suave presenter and astrophysicist Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson. Super stuff."

It posits a possible, if unlikely, event — a collapsed star’s passing through our solar system, tearing apart the planets one by one — and then physicists, astronomers and other scientists outline how we might respond in the decades we would have between first warning and final moments. It’s essentially science fiction, cheap and cheesy, with lots of stock scenes of explosions, fires and chaotic crowds, but it’s consistently interesting. A 15-mile-long spaceship carrying 250,000 people is proposed, propelled by nuclear bombs exploding behind a huge plate covering the back of the ship. (An antimatter drive is considered and rejected; in one of the show’s satisfyingly pulpy moments, a private spaceship full of billionaires explodes on the launching pad when its antimatter seal leaks.) ... At times, though, “Evacuate Earth” shows some restraint. A discussion of the search for a hospitable new planet mentions that the presence of life there will be important, without going on to say, “so we can eat it.”"

There are three Wikipedia articles explicitly on railroad operating rules, two of which are nominated for deletion, and more articles on "railway signalling" which might be the broader topic.
And all of these, plus many more articles, are within broad category , which includes an article for signalling (and operating rules) in each of many countries.
Note that the main article Railway signalling includes a section on Operating Rules.

Oppose. This deletion request fails on at least two levels: (a) First, a standard that is applied by a major subset of an industry is per se relevant. This is e.g. also true for all ISO standards, and also all major laws. It is not necessary by WP standards that the amount of secondary literature about a subject is used as a indicator of the relevance - adoption of something in the real world by itself can make it relevant. (b) But additionally, there are thousands of documents citing and using the GCOR; first of all of course derived rulebooks, but then many FRA documents e.g. about accidents or incidents, and also secondary literature about e.g. adherence to standards. Probably quite a few of these can be found online (FRA documents), but also scientific literature. One article I found after half a minute of googling doesn't even mention the GCOR in its literature list - it just references the GCOR as a well-known resource, and only puts the four letters and their expansion in the abbreviation list. Yet, and of course, one can doubt the quality of an article that does not try to explain why its subjects matters - but this is no reason for deletion, only for improvement. -- User:Haraldmmueller 07:43, 6 May 2022 (UTC) reply
@ Haraldmmueller: Can you provide a link for "It is not necessary by WP standards that the amount of secondary literature about a subject is used as a indicator of the relevance"? AIUI, the term notability here on WP is a misnomer term of art; an article on an important or useful topic is not necessarily notable. Instead, an article is notable in the WP sense iff the secondary literature is rich enough to write a well-sourced article adequately covering the topic. Thanks, Bernanke's Crossbow ( talk) 06:41, 12 May 2022 (UTC) reply
Oppose per User:Haraldmmueller's comments. Further, encyclopedic information about GCOR is relevant to many users of Wikipedia interested in information about railways, as indicated by this article's longevity, created in 2007 and edited and improved by many Wikipedians. Truthanado ( talk) 19:07, 6 May 2022 (UTC) reply
Since both opposes were basically copy-pasted between Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Northeast Operating Rules Advisory Committee and here, I shall copy-paste mine from there as well:
Delete or Redirect to a suitable target. (Noting that I was made aware of this AfD at my talk page [7]) The above arguments against deletion do not make any reference to Wikipedia policy, merely saying "we can't delete it because people use GCOR in the real world!" People use textbooks all the time in the real world, that doesn't mean they are Wikipedia notable. Ideally I'd like to see an article on Railroad safety in the United States or Railroad operations in the United States, where something like this topic could be briefly mentioned. An article's longevity means nothing about its notability. I once got a 10 year old hoax article deleted. That it was present for 10 years did not make it any less of a hoax. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 23:06, 6 May 2022 (UTC) reply
"The above arguments against deletion do not make any reference to Wikipedia policy". That's wrong. (a) First, I say that WP's policy(!) is a guideline that is used to establish notability, not a law that formally excludes objects if they do not fit to the letter. WP:GNG is so short and unclear that various subareas created their own, substantially differing notability guidelines - e.g., academics start with "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline", which is not at all "derivable" from the main guidelines WP:GNG; it is "newly invented as a common-senes guideline". By analogy, this guideline could immediately be adapted for standards: The standard has been significantly adopted in its area. That no-one has done this formally is no reason at all that it can't be taken as a common-sense guideline.(*) (b) As I said, there are 1000s of documents using, invoking, commenting (via use and selection) GCOR (and NORAC); just work at the FRA.
What I find astonishing is that someone calling himself Trainsandotherthings tries to remove an article about an obviously very relevant railroad subject. Why would someone want to do that??? - and not instead try to come up with any arguments of why it should be kept, ways of how it could improved, ideas of how we can repair WP if its current practices actually would be inclined to suppress such an obviously relevant topic?? -- User:Haraldmmueller 09:08, 7 May 2022 (UTC) reply
(*) Essentially, you make an exclusionary argument: What doesn't fit today's "rules", must die. I make an inclusionary one: What fits a useful interpretation of WP's intention, should remain (or be included).
-- User:Haraldmmueller 08:57, 7 May 2022 (UTC) reply
I did provide a method of retaining the material in my vote, rather than simply saying "delete". I do not think it is possible to retain a standalone page on the subject. I am quite familiar with these operating rules, in fact I am qualified on NORAC operating rules. But we need reliable, independent, secondary sources to establish notability. Another alternative would be to create a single article on Railroad operating rules as a topic, which is something that likely would meet notability. Operating rules would also be worth mentioning within Rail transport operations. The articles in question (NORAC and GCOR) lack citations to such sources. You keep saying "there are 1000s of documents using, invoking, commenting (via use and selection) GCOR (and NORAC)". If so, can you show some reliable secondary sources discussing the subject?

This particularly grinds my gears. If you doubt my commitment to improving Wikipedia's coverage of train topics, I invite you to check my content work listed on my userpage, including literally bringing Train to GA status. AfD is not a place to complain about Wikipedia policy. If you want it to be changed, you're more than welcome to start a discussion at the village pump. Your use of terms like "obviously relevant" is but a matter of opinion as it stands - the way to support that argument is to provide examples of significant coverage of the topic in reliable secondary sources, which you have not done.

  • Keep, although should be renamed to be more clearly about railroad operating rules and/or signalling, which were needed and are significant. The current article name could be about anything. Operating rules seem important, and there is history involved. It would also be acceptable to merge this into a combined article about railroad operating rules and/or a list-article describing the major ones such as this one. Or specifically it could potentially be merged into Railway signalling#Operating Rules. Personally, I think a list-article could be better in providing context, showing variety of the operating rules adopted. In the absence of an editor actively developing a merged list-article, at the Railway signalling article or separately, keeping seems best for now. -- Doncram ( talk) 23:01, 7 May 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. There are lots of sources available; I own three different print encyclopedias of garden plants and I'm not a gardener. By no means all plants are garden plants and actually it is a reasonably well-defined term. Having clicked on a selection, not all the entries are categorised as garden plants, and so it is not redundant to a category. Some of the comments on the talk page don't seem to have looked at the list, as the entries are genera, so the concern about including species/cultivars appears unfounded.

  • Keep If its valid to list the entries as a category then its valid to put them on a list. Category:Garden plants It would be great if someone had a bot that would look at each article linked to and get additional information to put on a sortable column. This article was created in 2003, and has gotten 17,990 page views in the past 90 days alone. Many find lists to be more useful than categories, you can scroll through all on one page, while the category for this is spread out over multiple pages. So it is a valid navigational list. You can also click on the reliable sources search at the top of this AFD and find ample results for "list of garden plants" and even more so if you just search for "garden plants". Garden plant redirects to Ornamental plant, not sure which is used in textbooks and scientific publications or is the more commonly used term. Anyway, if you need a definition for what a garden plant is, check there. Dream Focus 17:56, 16 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I would like some clarification over the definition of a "garden plant".
    • I assume it excludes house plants, glasshouse plants, etc., i.e. means plants grown outside in a garden.
    • I assume it mean a plant grown in gardens anywhere in the world. To give just one example, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is in the category Category:Garden plants of Asia, which means garden plants originating in Asia. It's definitely a garden plant in tropical parts of the world, but not in temperate regions. There are many plants that could be in lists of garden plants for some countries but in lists of house, conservatory or glasshouse plants for others.
    • Referencing will be an issue; plants will need referencing individually, it seems to me. Is this feasible?
    • Are vegetables or fruit grown in gardens included? Does it actually mean "ornamental garden plants"?
Peter coxhead ( talk) 19:43, 16 May 2022 (UTC) reply
Most of this can be sorted by editing, or possibly moving to a more appropriate title, without needing deletion. Given the length I'd be inclined to restrict it to plants predominantly grown for ornamental purposes. I don't think individual sources per entry are necessary; one could add a general list of default sources and only add specific entry sources where needed. The region issue could be solved by marking those genera where all the species are only cultivable as garden plants in, say, tropical regions. Many genera will have examples that can be grown under temperate conditions; Hibiscus also includes Hibiscus syriacus, for example. A list of individual species would be more of a problem, I agree, and would probably need splitting up. Espresso Addict ( talk) 20:17, 16 May 2022 (UTC) reply
So is this a list of genera in which at least one species is grown in a garden as an ornamental plant somewhere in the world? My questions are not rhetorical; I really don't understand what is intended. Peter coxhead ( talk) 21:11, 16 May 2022 (UTC) reply
The source is mentioned on the talk page (a references section was kind of a novelty in 2003, especially for lists), but the list content is based on just the one book, so while it's verifiable, there is no way for us to distinguish between genuine generality and authors' personal preferences. Intuitively, the list seems salvageable, but someone would need to figure out an objective criterion (sold in stores? successfully grown by non-professionals? mentioned in at least one gardening book's list? :-) ), that didn't also include every genus that master gardeners try out just to show off their mad skills. I note that the modern standard for confirming a new species often entails growing some from seed, so the fact of *anybody* having grown a plant is not necessarily going to narrow things down much. Stan ( talk) 02:45, 17 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Point 1: this is based on a single source, the genus index of "The American Horticultural Society A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants". That makes it basically a data dump of otherwise published tabular material, which we don't do. Point 2: the work in question has no pretensions to be global. As the foreword makes clear, it only covers plants that could be grown in North American gardens (go ahead and borrow it on the Internet Archive - I just returned the copy) - which is a rather debatable criterion for such a list. Point 3: even if this were turned into "Garden plants suitable for North American cultivation", there is no claim that the coverage in the source is comprehensive (they picked Interesting Stuff) nor could such a list ever be reasonably bounded. Much less so for a truly global list - practically everything may be grown in a garden somewhere. This list cannot be reasonably sourced or curated. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 09:08, 17 May 2022 (UTC) reply

I do not think the keep !votes make policy/precedent sense, especially the argument that garden plants are frequently discussed as a group or set. (Sure: and what plants are in that list? We can't answer that question, because what "garden plants" actually means depends on the context of the person using those words. It's not the "set" it appears to be.) That said, I do think Dream Focus's This article was created in 2003, and has gotten 17,990 page views in the past 90 days alone. is worth considering. It seems pretty clear that this is useful to many readers. Specifically, American readers, since as Elmidae observes, the source is "The American Horticultural Society A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants". Is it so terrible to keep this list, renamed to something more appropriate, for the benefit of readers? I'd be interested to hear what the delete !voters might suggest for the name of such a list, even if they hate the idea, and what the keep !voters think of renaming the list to be specific to this source.

    • A lot of people do, apparently, navigate to this page, but does that really mean it's useful to them? Being sorted by Latin genus name, listing genuses rather than species (if relevant), only a fraction having a common name or type listed, simply being so massive with over 2,200 entries, and yet likely incomplete by whatever definition to be used makes this a daunting wall of text more than really useful.

      I'm guessing people end up here because if you simply say "garden plant" to Google, the second of its suggestions for a longer search phrase is "list of garden plants", which if you click on it, gives this article as the second result (at least for me). So that's probably how this inadvertently ended up as one of Wikipedia's landing pages.

Of the 10 articles that get the most outgoing page views, 6 of them are in the first 10 entries in the list.

WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and I can't find any. Existing references are either repeats of company announcements/information or articles that rely entirely on quotes/interviews with no "Independent Content" or mentions-in-passing.

  • Weak Delete based on a preliminary review. An article should speak for itself and should explain, without the need for the reader to check the references, how the subject is notable, in particular, how the company satisfies corporate notability. Corporate notability is based on what third parties have written, not on what the company says about itself. This article is about what the company says about itself. This does not mean that the company is not notable, or that the company is notable. It does mean that this article does not establish notability. I have not checked the references, but the article has been reference-bombed and I should not be expected to check the references. Robert McClenon ([[User talk:Robert McCl
  • Delete this is an advertisement. It contains a list of services (which happen to be the services any brokerage firm offers as a matter of course), it discusses their fee structure (all brokerage firms have fee structure), it states some of the companies it has invested in (as do all such firms). It lists a variety of trivial awards, awards designed so a company will get one in its turn; it lists a reference to an academic analysis which HighKing has nicely explained as a student project. The news items about it are of various occasions of computer down time. This is the most trivia and ephemeral news imaginable: all we sites (includding WP) have them, and they are of interest only until they get fixed. The defense of the article by Nomadicghumakkad refers to " several more books talking about their journey" This is the most obvious form of corporate jargon, and an argument using such terms indicate the inability to tell articles from spam.

  • Comment Scope creep How is the Bloomberg article an advertisement? I see that Marcus Wright and Michael Patterson are mentioned as the editors, and Rahul Satija the Mumbai reporter. It also mentions that it received inputs from Pei Yi Mak. All are/were Bloomberg editors/reporters. The India Today article is authored by Shwweta Punj, senior editor at India Today. The Business Standard article carries a very long, in-depth, independent commentary and that one is researched and written by Jyotindra Dubey who is now an associate editor at Economic Times. All three satisfy WP:ORGIND and WP:SIRS. I can see how that Forbes India article (and Forbes India in general) can be seen as unreliable. There are four more in-depth sources which I had posted at the previous AFD, all independently-written by staff/editors.

Thanks for the workarounds. The Bloomberg reference relies entirely on information provided by the company and people associated with the company. Where's the in-depth "Independent Content" which is required as per WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND? The only content which might arguably be "clearly attributable" to a source unaffiliated with the topic company is towards the end, with the paragraph starting with "Zerodha's continued success is far from guaranteed" but those last 7 sentences do not provide any in-depth information. I'd call this a puff profile and PR. The India Today article attracts the exact same criticism - where's the in-depth "Independent Content"? It is another puff profile. If you are starting to get used to seeing the characteristics of puff profiles, then you won't need to be told that The Business Insider is also a puff profile. You say it "carries a very long, in-depth, independent commentary" - that's hard to swallow considering that practically every paragraph references a claim or announcement made by the company or contains a quote. They're not "Independent" enough to meet WP:ORGIND and what's left fails WP:CORPDEPTH. HighKing ++ 20:21, 25 May 2022 (UTC) reply
I find it extremely hard to agree with your claim that editors from different parts of the world at Bloomberg News, which is seen as one of the most reliable sources at WP:RSP, are indulged in promotionalism. The only paragraphs with claims attributed to the company on that article are 4th, 8th, 14th and the last one. The Business Standard article is indeed independently authored, and one of the best sources on this company. Just because it carries a bunch of quotes from the company, we cannot disregard all the independent research on that article.
The phenomenon of admiration of stories of entrepreneurs, businesses, artists, sportspeople, etc, and disruption/success stories in general is very common across the media industry in the Indian subcontinent. But it doesn't necessarily mean that all these articles are sponsored "puff pieces". As someone from India, I see this on a daily basis even in print newspapers and on TV channels. We need to evaluate and assess the sources on a case-by-case basis. Generally, articles written by reputed editors and carrying independent commentary satisfy SIRS and ORGIND, unless there is evidence of material republished from a press release or there is unambiguous promotion of the product. Your definition of "puff piece" fits those articles that do not mention the editor's name and simply say bureau, newsdesk, agencies, PTI, etc. If we continue to discount editorial pieces that use an appreciative tone, we'll end up deleting a majority of articles on notable Indian companies based on the incorrect assumption that all media houses and journos in the country are on the company's payroll.

Frierson was an Olympian who won no medals. You would not know it from this article, but he was also a soldeir who recieved some decoartions for service in World War II, but his decondarions and service were not at a level to pass notability. The only source I can find that says anything even half substantial on him is sportsreference.com. There is another Hank Frierson who was an academic active in the early 21st-century, who I do notthink is notable either, but clearly makes this not a good redirect since we do not know that people would be looking for this person. I have to admit that we clearly are not doing Wikipedia right if its articles are more focused on the sports aspects of a person's life than sportsreference.com. Wikipedia has an over-emphasis on sports and politics in its biographies, to the point where many people who are really more known for their non-sports or non-politics actions are highlighted and governed in Wikipedia only based on those aspects of their careers. Frierson was a non-notable soldier, and he received no coverage for his minor role in the Olympics either. Deletion is the way to improvement.

    These "significant awards" were the Silver Star (which has been awarded to between 100,000 and 150,000 recipients, so not all that good an indicator of notability, since clearly there are not anywhere near that many military figures - all across the world, ignoring the fact this is a US award - whom we'd expect to actually be notable enough for genuine encyclopedic articles); the Bronze Star and the Croix de Guerre are even worse (if this, based on this paywalled source, apparently; is accurate, there has been upward of a million of them; the Croix de Guerre has been awarded to millions of individuals...). On top of that, even if those awards were significant enough (they clearly aren't) WP:ANYBIO is not an "auto-magically notable"; it's a People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards.

  • Neutral I don't see evidence of GNG level of sourcing; and looking rapidly I find plenty of hits for another "Hanks Frierson" (some US university professor, Henry "Hank" Frierson; who doesn't really appear notable given the only sources are non-independent like [17]); and of course the usual database hits for Olympians, but not much in the way of SIGCOV from RS. If Lugs has "found a bio on him", he should show proof of it instead of assuming that others have the same results as them. Opposed in principle to a redirect as the only logical target has no coverage on him; and since there is no generalised exception from "no redirect if subject isn't really notable and there's nothing at the target about them". In this case, the subject is notable neither for their military career (colonel was not even enough in the long-since deprecated NSOLDIER) nor for their sports career (since we have no evidence of such notability...)

    The obituary about this person from El Paso in a newspaper from El Paso... The same page also contains a similarly detailed obit about some local doctor; I'm not sure this would count as either significant (obituaries in local news are routine) or independent (since, well, its probable the information was supplied by people close to the subject...). The google books result is from the "United States Military Academy. Association of Graduates"; which I would very much tend to assume Frierson would have been a member of; and its in an album of similar profiles, which suggests it is not a very selective work either (and wide-sweeping all-inclusive works, like alumni albums or databases, are not significant coverage).

  • Even if you do exclude the bio from GBooks, there is still two pieces of SIGCOV, still enough to pass GNG.

    Since you're citing essays, I'm going to one up you with WP:ROTM. The El Paso obituary is still routine (and yes, routine definitively does apply to people: routine news such as sports play-by-play match reports, and, yes, routine obituaries [the routine nature of it being obvious from the presence of a similar one on the same page for another non-notable person], are generally not accepted as significant coverage) and more importantly there is no evidence it is truly independent. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 17:08, 16 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • First off, how is competing at the Olympics (and being awarded several important medals) run-of-the-mill? The participants at the Olympics are the best athletes in their country (in this case, the US), so saying its ROTM is... nonsense. Secondly, the fact that a non-notable person has an obituary next to Frierson has no effect whatsoever on the latter's notability (and whether the coverage counts as SIGCOV). Are you saying that if someone has an obit in NYT, but someone who is nn also has one, that the former obit is automatically disqualified from being SIGCOV? Also, how is this not independent? You have not shown me anything that points to the El Paso article being not independent. (BTW, the obituary on Frierson was not on the main obituaries page. Page 1 says that the obits were on page 4-c; Frierson was covered on page 3-b). BeanieFan11 ( talk) 18:20, 16 May 2022 (UTC) reply
    important medals would be less laughable if they weren't of the kind that have been awarded to hundreds of thousands or even millions of recipients. As for Olympics, you're well aware of the not-so-recent changes to NSPORT and also aware of the fact that notability is neither inherent or inherited. He clearly is not notable as a sportsman (because otherwise you'd be able to find more than "X participated in the Olympics once" about this). As for "obituaries in local newspapers" (the El Paso Times is not the NYT) [no matter which page they might happen to be on]; have you read ROTM? Many people have one or more obituaries published detailing the fact that they died, information regarding their deaths and often information about their families and lives. This information is published in a newspaper, a reliable source. But in a single major city, there will be dozens of obituaries published each day. An obituary, especially a short one which takes up not even half a column like this one, is simply not significant coverage (as it is routine) and its independence is very dubious, as obituaries in local newspapers are usually based in information from people closely associated with the subject. Very different from say something like this. Anyways, people seem to have found maybe better sources and I'd rather not be wasting more time arguing with you, since obviously we're not going to change the other's position on the suitability (or lack thereof) of obituaries as sources. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 19:49, 16 May 2022 (UTC) reply
    Some of the comments above about Olympics participation are really poorly informed. Were the Jamican bobsled team the best bosleders in Jamaica? They did not do any bobsledding at all until they left the country with a plan to go compete in the Olympics. At least in the time frame we are talking about the qualifying requirements for the Olympics were less clear. Also, since you had to be fully amateur at the time, for lots of competitions the best people in that particular sport were excluded from the Olympics. Before World War II especially it would be whoever the local Olympic committee chose, and that was not based on merit. The depth of the amateur rules meant that you had to basicly be well off to compete in the Olympics, at least to the point where you did not have to work daily for a living or could afford to take large amounts of unpaid leave. Sponsorships and broken time payments and travel reimbusements were officially not allowed, and the best evidence is for the most part even under the table such deals did not emerge until after World War II, so no, being in the Olympics in this time period does not say you are the best in the sport in your country, and some of these sports get no real attention, so it does not matter if you win national championships, because no one was paying attention to that.

Okay, let's start with #5, which requires "two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels". The article's 'Discography' section shows two self-produced singles. Can you please explain how that satisfies #5?

One of the most distinctive traits of his releases is certainly the energy, and the drive that fuels the performance of the artist. The vocals feel very animated and spontaneous, an obvious sign that this performer is actually genuinely connecting with his lyrical flow, in a much deeper way. This isn’t just another Soundcloud rapper popping out catchy hooks copy-pasted with the same old Splice sample: there is a deeper concept behind the songwriting, which really adds weight to the mix One of the most distinctive traits of this release is certainly the energy, and the drive that fuels the performance of the artist.

In addition to the personable and edgy performance value, this release is also quite distinctive because of the sheer quality of the production. The mix is balanced and very detail-oriented, making for a lively, edgy and stark sonic approach. In other words, there are many subtle nuances in this release, which really add to the richness of the track when summed up together. The frequency spectrum of the mix is also very balanced, with a tight, yet deep low end working wonders along with a smooth top end, which adds a sense of clarity to the music.

  • The Source article was written by "SHA BE ALLAH", while no specific author was listed for Billboard Hip hop. Even if it were the same person, it signals lazy churnalism rather than a serious review. One thing you'll notice is that it has a lot of broad statements that can be applied to just about any electronic musician. It's a similar style of writing that you also find in the AllHipHop review.- KH-1 ( talk) 11:43, 10 May 2022 (UTC) reply
    • That's a funny fact about this particular review. I read this one, there are a lot of unique content too, but even a few copy-pasted sentences from another artist doesn't prove much about lack of notability. We can't rely on this while discussing whether there is enough to meet WP:MUSICBIO or not.-- Roxy177 ( talk) 06:55, 11 May 2022 (UTC) reply
      • We're talking about entire paragraphs from multiple sources, not just a "few copy-pasted sentences". It's clearly not a genuine review.- KH-1 ( talk) 01:37, 12 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Other parts of it are lifted from someone else's 2019 post about another artist at https://thebandcampdiaries.com/post/187924964897/nogi-friday-pendulums-nogi-friday-is-an-artist and a February 2022 review of yet another artist at https://thebandcampdiaries.com/post/675244669067788288/suaveuk-has-recently-released-a-new-project. KH-1 is right. A source that is actually a bad source, in this case turning out to be rampant plagiarism on the part of a writer at The Source and thus not even actually about this subject, does not count, and Roxy177's rationale is undermined by 1 source. Unfortunately, that leaves us with 1 source, and some searching does not turn up any more. Potential candidates turn out upon reading to be recycled press releases or an interview in the first person. Uncle G ( talk) 16:15, 13 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • WP:MUSICBIO says, that "Notability is not determined by what the article says, it is determined by how well the article does or does not support the things it says by referencing them to independent verification in reliable sources.". We should use WP:RS to verify something about our subject. We can still use this source for some information. Even if "The mix is balanced and very detail-oriented" and "The frequency spectrum of the mix is also very balanced" were copied, that can be applied to just about any electronic musician. That's right. KH-1 mentioned that. We can't know whether mix is balanced or not from that source anymore, but that's why here are the others. As for The Source, there are other sentences, for example: "which is a fantastic single that brings a deeper, soothing melody to the audience. The introduction has a really smooth vibe, and the song later dives deeper into the groove, with a massive electronic beat that matches the beautiful arpeggio synths." And you can apply it exclusively to subject's single "Night Wish', because it has arpeggios and those things, etc.-- Roxy177 ( talk) 17:33, 13 May 2022 (UTC) reply

      The article notes: "九龍維記牛奶有限公司自一九四 0 年起,維記牛奶大事記殿堂級品牌南美歸僑 George Ahwee 及本港長大的業餘騎師蔡永禧創辦了。大馬主李蘭生先生投入資本,擴大業務,成為今天的「九龍維記牛奶有限公司」。李氏家族是今日「維記 11941 牛奶」的最大股東及公司決策人。「維記牛奶」一直伴隨著香港人成長,不經不覺已有六十六年歷史,細看這品牌誕生至發展,仿如閱讀香港早期風物誌。單是公司命名過程也饒富趣味,南美歸僑 George Ahwee 及本地長大的業餘騎師蔡永禧先生創辦了「九龍維記」。「維記」這名字竟是源自 George Ahwee 的廣東話暱稱「阿維」,因當時人人愛以「維記」稱之以示親切,再加上當年牧場位於九龍清水灣道,於是「九龍維記」便成了公司的名字了。"

      From Google Translate: "In 1940, Kowloon Dairy Co., Ltd. was founded by George Ahwee, a South American returned overseas Chinese, and an amateur jockey who grew up in Hong Kong. The Malaysian owner Mr. Li Lansheng invested capital to expand the business and become today's "Kowloon Wei Kee Milk Co., Ltd.". The Li family is the largest shareholder and company decision maker of today's "Kowloon Dairy". "Kowloon Dairy" has always been growing up with Hong Kong people. It has a history of 66 years without realizing it. A closer look at the birth and development of this brand is like reading an early history of Hong Kong. The naming process of the company alone is also very interesting. George Ahwee, a returned South American, and Mr. Choi Wing-hee, an amateur jockey who grew up locally, founded "Kowloon Wei Kee". The name "Wei Kee" was actually derived from George Ahwee's Cantonese nickname "Awei", because at that time everyone loved to call it "Wei Kee" to show affection, and the pasture was located on Clear Water Bay Road in Kowloon, so "Wei Kee" "Kowloon Victoria" became the name of the company."

      The book notes: "另一生產商——九龍維記成立於1940年,宗旨是為本地市民供應牛奶,由於其鮮奶只供應九龍北部,因而得名。及後因添加另一本地人股東,更易名為九龍維記牛奶有限公司。當時的牧場位於現彩雲村的位置,路經清水灣道時,可在路旁看到一個由水泥倒模做成的大型牛奶瓶,這正是維記的地標。在1972年,政府宣布收地興建公屋,牛場有21萬平方呎,乳牛數目有300至400頭,而現代化設備的改良也自此開始。到了1984年,基於環保要求、土地發展需求增加以及中國市場的開放等因素,維記將牛場全面遷至廣州。但其在新界大生圍,近現錦繡花園的位置仍設置牛奶廠房,繼續生產。 "

      From Google Translate: "Another manufacturer, Kowloon Dairy, was established in 1940 with the aim of supplying milk to local citizens. It was named after its fresh milk only supplied to the northern part of Kowloon. Later, due to the addition of another local shareholder, the name was changed to Kowloon Wei Kee Milk Co., Ltd. At that time, the ranch was located in the current location of Caiyun Village. When passing Qingshui Bay Road, you could see a large milk bottle made of cement pouring mold by the roadside, which is the landmark of Wei Kee. In 1972, the government announced the resumption of land to build public housing. The cattle farm had 210,000 square feet and the number of dairy cows was 300 to 400. The improvement of modern equipment has also begun. In 1984, due to factors such as environmental protection requirements, increased demand for land development, and the opening of the Chinese market, Kownloon Dairy fully relocated the cattle farm to Guangzhou. However, it still has a milk factory in Tai Sang Wai, New Territories, near Fairview Garden, and continues to produce."

  • Not sure, but not excited about a keep.Delete, explained below. My first thought when I looked at the article was WP:TNT since these long lists of examples are often pretty uninformative. I tried searching for some actual coverage of the concept of a hooker with a heart of gold, but didn't find a lot. I've added some info from this sociology article, which specifically says the archetype belongs to 1980s American films, distinguishing it from other narrative tropes about prostitution from other periods. This chapter says it evaluates the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold trope but actually mostly critiques a few versions of Moulin Rouge with very few statements about the trope at large. So I'm not sure how feasible it is to write something that's not just a glorified TVTropes article. I'm also not sure that it's justified to combine "hooker with a heart of gold" and "tart with a heart" in one article. Both seem more like marketing phrases than analytic terms. Of the sources in the article, almost none seem to contribute notability for the overarching concepy. This article on prostitutes in Hindi films, and the article " "Of Names of Women in Hindi Cinema: An Exploration in Semantics", are the only ones which don't seem to just be reviews of individual films. They use the phrase "heart of gold" but not the word "hooker." I wonder if the actual topic about which substantial sourcing exists is the broader one of "prostitution in cinema." Or should it become a list? "List of fictional prostitutes with hearts of gold" sounds a bit silly. ~ L 🌸 ( talk) 07:22, 16 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Week keep for the article but considering deletion for the list of examples (but for now, abstain on that, see my following thoughts). The sources LEvalyn found and added suggest this topic (stock character/trope) is notable, but the article suffers from the common problem of wP:NOTTVTROPES. List of fictional prostitutes with hearts of gold is not just "silly", it fails WP:NLIST/ WP:SALAT too - while the section possibly fails WP:IPC, WP:GNG, WP:OR, etc. (Example of OR: The list opens with "The story of Rahab in the Bible's Book of Joshua is considered by some the earliest example of this character type", but the quote used in reference does not confirm this is "som eof the earliest" - it's just the earlist entry in the list). That said, I'll note that NLIST applies to stand-alone list, so perhaps this section can be retained as a section, with a note that at present, due to lack of any reliable outside lists of this trope, it should not be split? I'll admit that due to use of quotations (good practice), it does represent above-average level of referencing. Given that most of the entries are referneced with secondary sources, which do describe relevant characters as hookers/whores with hears of gold, it is much better than what we usually discuss here.

  • Keep This seems to be a genuine stock character, as attested by secondary sources, and therefore should be treated somewhere on Wikipedia. Per WP:AtD, if an article can be improved that's preferable to deletion. First steps for improvement have already been taken by LEvalyn (thanks!). If this should in the end be not enough, an alternative to deletion would be a merge of the core content to List of stock characters, and of the sourced examples in the list to List of prostitutes and courtesans#Fictional.

  • Comment: I'm finding quite a bit of mention so far, a lot of the coverage describes this as more of a western character trope - or at least that it pretty much originated in the west, particularly the United States. As to when it exactly started, that's less clear. It does seem to have become far more popular in the last 100 or so years, but that there were examples of this earlier on than that - they just didn't use this specific term. One PhD dissertation describes this as a more modern day spinoff of the idea of the sinner/saint trope. In any case my thought is to keep but improve so far.

  • Explanation for my Delete. Putting my second comment here to preserve the flow of discussion. I do want to state more explicitly that we have exactly one source which is actually about the topic "hooker with a heart of gold." That's the sociological paper by Griffiths, which says it is exclusively present in 1980s American cinema. From what I see right now, everything else is either a discussion of a specific movie, which uses the phrase "hooker with a heart of gold" in passing, or it is about a much broader trope, something like "a prostitute, but what if you liked her because she was a good person" -- which is typically not discussed with the phrase "hooker with a heart of gold." (The analysis of courtesans in Hindi cinema fall into the latter category.) Just because the phrase is used a lot doesn't mean the trope has gotten actual coverage and analysis. Based on the sources, I think a "hooker with a heart of gold" article has to be about 1980s American cinema. I also think the trope in 1980s American cinema is not notable because it only has one source. Therefore, I think the question at hand is whether the 1980s "hooker with a heart of gold" trope can be meaningfully combined with some larger, actually notable topic. The lack of a name for this broader trope does not inspire confidence on that front. I increasingly think that following the sources means merging this article to a new "prostitution in cinema" article. That is the topic about which books and articles have actually been written; indeed, that is the main topic of Griffiths' sociological article. People who simply say there are "a lot of sources" need to address whether those sources are about "hooker with a heart of gold" or merely use the phrase. ~ L 🌸 ( talk) 23:43, 18 May 2022 (UTC) reply
    In American literature, the trope (not the term) is attributed to Bret Harte, a contemporary of Mark Twain. I found a couple of sources, but I'm not sure how valid they are. I've listed them on the talk page and would welcome your input. I like the idea of an article on the depiction of sex workers in film (or literature). Seems a lot more encyclopedic and less "TV Tropes." Just Another Cringy Username ( talk) 03:52, 19 May 2022 (UTC) reply
    Here is another secondary source which discusses the trope('s origins) within Western literature to some degree, mostly on p. 168. It also supports the other two sources' link to Bret Harte, p. 165. Also this article, while only having one longish sentence, tells us about the ubiquitousness of the trope. Daranios ( talk) 10:59, 19 May 2022 (UTC) reply
    Thanks for doing this digging. On reading them, they seem to be about the other major trope for representing prostitutes, the "fallen woman." The examples discussed at length are not women who are considered morally upstanding members of their society who are beloved by the characters and the narrative (ie the hooker with the heart of gold), but rather, women who have been irretrievably ruined by prostitution, get narrative sympathy only as a tragic figure, and even then can only be considered sympathetically because the West itself is already outside of "society". One of the main examples is actually dead for most of the story. I tried pretty hard to find quotes/details to expand this article from those two sources but without luck. ~ L 🌸 ( talk) 01:01, 22 May 2022 (UTC) reply
@ LEvalyn: Those sources use the exact phrase "hooker with a heart of gold". I guess it's just short enough that I'm allowed to quote: New Wests and Post-Wests says on p. 165 "Modern literary critics attribute the origins of the Western and the stereotype of the frontier hooker with a heart of gold to Harte." P. 168 first talks about a specific example and then "...the role of the hooker with a heart of gold - the prostitute whose kind deeds compensate for her lack of virtue. That this type of prostitute was commonly depicted in works of Harte and Miller suggest that gender on the frontier was flexible. As White points out, the mythic West was a space where women existed as either virgins or whores, but the hooker with a heart of gold stereotype suggested that a woman could be both." Sounds like a summary discussion of the type (also pointing out the pervasiveness) to me. Daranios ( talk) 19:10, 22 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Seems to be a recognised stock character, widely used in critical discussion not relating to film. eg from Project Muse (specific subscription only): Kristen D. Amiro (2018).

ETA: They also include several discussing the use in American film well pre-1980s. ETA2: Also several discussing the trope in Roman/Greek drama, including an interesting note "The notion that possessing a "golden nature" ... makes her a "true hetaira" recalls Theognis's obsessive wish to find a pistos hetairos just like himself, "refined gold when rubbed on a touchstone" (Thgn. 415-18, 449-52).

ETA3 Open-access article that cites two 1970s books on portrayal women in film that discuss the archetype. [40]. While I'm aware that most of these aren't discussing the trope itself, surely we can source a list of characters that reliable sources discuss using this terminology?

  • Thanks for doing this digging. Of these sources, most seem to be exactly what I mean about a sourcing using a phrase rather than being about the trope. Only Coins, Bodies, Games, and Gold seems to be doing more than identifying a certain text as an example or counterexample of the phenomenon (that one speculates about the origins of the trope). If all we're doing is sourcing examples, then we're talking about a list, which should pass WP:NLIST. ~ L 🌸 ( talk) 01:01, 22 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • I was initially trying to find examples to show it wasn't just applied to 1980s American film, and was a much broader and older trope. I think the Stopkewich one is also useful. Espresso Addict ( talk) 19:59, 22 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: I'd just like to highlight LEvalyn's point. It doesn't matter how many examples we can collate; it matters how much the topic has been discussed in secondary sources. Remember WP:NOTTVTROPES, WP:NLIST, and WP:STAND. Just Another Cringy Username ( talk) 02:31, 20 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I'm baffled by the repeated assertion that this passes WP:GNG based on the sources we have found so far. Yes, the topic exists - no one disagrees. Yes, this is a recognized stock character. But we need secondary sources that discuss the trope, not merely speak its name. What we have is a massive list of passing mentions ("charactername is a hooker with a heart of gold"), not in-depth coverage of the trope itself. The article that results from these sources will be entirely made of WP:OR, or it will be more properly named "list of hookers with a heart of gold". That already exists, here: [41]. I'm not !voting delete because I still haven't had a chance to do a proper look for better sources, but there isn't sourcing here or in the article for a Keep right now, despite the proliferation of footnotes. -- asilvering ( talk) 04:07, 20 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • @ Asilvering: After recent improvements there is currently no content without references (aside from the introductory line, which customarily doesn't need one), so there is no WP:OR going on. And yet we do have a non-stubby article, if a short one, which is the goal of the notability requirement in the first place. And that's when not all found secondary sources have been worked into the article yet. Daranios ( talk) 10:30, 20 May 2022 (UTC) reply

    @ Just Another Cringy Username In my view the article already contained sufficient analyses to be exempt from WP:NOTTVTROPES, even more so when taking into account the sources detailed by editor Espresso Addict. As you still had concerns I've further expanded the article. To pick out just one of the top tier sources I used, the Cambridge University Press book Prostitutes and Matrons in the Roman World has an entire chapter analysing hookers with a heart of gold, talking about the historical development of the trope, mentioning a few real world examples, and discussing the social purpose of the trope. Theres such an abundance of good sources analysing the stereotype that it would be trivial to expand the article to good article status if one had a few days to spare.

  • Comment I was pinged for my opinion by Piotrus.
    Looking at the cited sources, I must say that this isn't by any stretch of the imagination a well-sourced article. The number of sources is really not that important (we're not going for a much-sourced article, but a well-sourced one), the quality is what matters. That's quality as it relates to the topic of the article, specifically.
    What the topic of the article actually is/should be could go two ways: either the character archetype or the phrase (i.e. WP:WORDISSUBJECT). I'm assuming we're going for the former here (the latter would necessitate starting the entire article over from scratch), but it's worth keeping in mind that the character archetype and the phrase used to refer to it are two distinct topics.
    Having said that, this is in a pretty poor state. As pointed out by LEvalyn and Asilvering, what we want is proper secondary (or tertiary, I suppose) sources discussing and analysing the general concept. This should be obvious: an article on X should be based on sources on X. Basing an article on sources about something else makes for an article of poor quality. The reason for this in the specific context of fiction/popular culture is outlined in the essay WP:CARGO: Simply amassing raw data, and hoping that an encyclopaedia article will magically arise from it, doesn't work. [...] Collecting raw data does not produce an analysis. The raw data can be examples, that demonstrate the analysis. (There are some elephant jokes in elephant joke, for example.) But simply amassing huge piles of them doesn't make an analysis. What makes an analysis is finding the works of experts in the field who have done analyses of the raw data, and then condensing and summarizing their published analyses into the article. (Collecting raw data and then producing our own novel analyses of those data is, of course, original research that is forbidden here.) This is also in line with WP:WHYN—we need quality sources to make a quality article. The sources do not need to be exclusively on the topic at hand, but they do need to be significantly on the topic at hand and in-depth in their coverage ( WP:Significant coverage). Likewise, the article need not exclusively cite these kinds of top-quality sources—sources on adjacent topics can be useful for fleshing out the details—but they do need to provide the foundation and backbone of the article.
    With all this in mind, we can't really keep the article in its current state, because it is—to be blunt—bad. We have a few different options available to us.
    At minimum, this should be redirected to List of stock characters (and an WP:ANCHOR for direct linking to the relevant entry should be added) if we don't keep it as a stand-alone article. I don't think it's in dispute that this is a widely-recognized character archetype, and we do have sufficient sourcing for a single-sentence definition.
    Another possible solution would be to convert this to an article on the broader topic of Prostitution in fiction or similar, as LEvalyn suggested. I would suggest moving the article to draftspace until the conversion is complete in such a case, since this would entail a complete rewrite.
    The ideal solution would of course be to locate additional sources focused on and analysing the concept in general and rewrite the article based on those, but then we have to actually follow through on that. If we are to keep this as a stand-alone article, the list of examples needs to go. Merely enumerating examples of X in fiction is what TV Tropes does, but Wikipedia is of course WP:NOTTVTROPES. Examples should be integrated in prose alongside relevant analysis (again, WP:CARGO), and their sourcing should meet the requirements set out by MOS:POPCULT: Cultural references about a subject should not be included simply because they exist. Rather, all such references should be discussed in at least one reliable secondary or tertiary source which specifically links the cultural item to the subject of the article. This source should cover the subject of the article in some depth; it should not be a source that merely mentions the subject's appearance in a movie, song, television show, or other cultural item.

Source 4 is a blog article written by the subject from the subject's own website. Source 5 is a link to the subject's biography.

In addition to the majority of this article being unsourced, there are a number of personal bios I found online with grandiose claims, i.e. recognized by Forbes, nationally recognized, widely regarded, etc. and I did not find any independent, notable sources to constitute SIGCOV. Most of it is just him stating that, or his bio pasted somewhere. However, he has written several online blogs and articles and so I did consider him for WP:NACADEMIC.

      The review notes: "My Own takes celebrity worship to a new low. Not only does it emphasize the importance of appearance, but it goes a step farther and rewards those who happen to resemble someone famous. This is a damaging message to tweens and teens, who are forming their identity and ideas about how dating works -- they're already under enough pressure to look good, but now they need to look like a celebrity too? What ever happened to individuality? The show also offers the confusing idea that the best way to show you're a fan is to date someone who reminds you of your idol...huh?"

      The article notes: "On MTV's new dating show "My Own," enthusiastic wannabes are transformed into carbon copies of the pop stars they idolize, in hopes of capturing a fellow fan's heart. Though training these budding Justins and Ciaras may sound like a tall task, the mission was far from impossible for the show's choreographer, Chantai Robson. Off-screen, Robson has made a career out of coaching up-and-coming artists such as Hope Seven on personality and performance. To prepare choreography for "My Own," Robson watched hours of music videos to adapt the moves for contestants. [The show airs 6 pm EST Monday through Friday.) On a shooting schedule of several shows per week, Robson found herself memorizing the dance steps of everyone from Ashlee Simpson to Jennifer Lopez at a breakneck pace. Added to the pressure was the challenge of getting the contestants camera-ready to perform."

The pig-headed, deluded and occasionally downright stupid wannabe developers have finally finished their project, months behind schedule and thousands over budget. Throughout the development, they have comprehensively ignored Beeny's advice, choosing the most expensive of everything rather than the best value options. ... And so it is, making Property Ladder compulsive viewing and Beeny, 35, a bona fide TV star. She comes across as capable, knowledgeable, patient to a fault - and, crucially, smarter than some of the participants who think they are cleverer than she is. She's foxy, on television and in the flesh, fun and funny. Some of her male fan base also imagine her to be bossy - in a good way."

The show also wants people who are willing to be on the receiving end of that blunt advice, ideally someone who is about to buy his or her first investment property."

        The review notes: "Hard-nosed real estate expert Kirsten Kemp Becker - you know, the consultant rehabbers regularly ignore on TLC's Property Ladder series - offers Hope for Your Home, a show providing participants with $10,000 in cash, a contractor consultant and loads of advice on how to boost a home's value for a new loan or sale. It debuts tonight. ... Best of all, TLC has crafted a series that acknowledges the bitter reality homeowners face today, while offering a makeover tale that could help viewers deal with their own housing nightmares."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Property Ladder to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • All but one of those is a trivial mention. The NYT and Chicago Tribune sources are projected sources on before the show even existed, and the Tampa Bay one dedicates less than a sentence to it. Both of the first two sources are just fluff pieces on the host that again, dedicate less than a full sentence to the show.

  • The Hartford Courant article provides substantial coverage about the show in three sections: "the shtick", "the verdict", and "the details". It is not a "fluff piece". The New York Times provides substantial coverage about the show's production and history. That it was published before the show aired does not detract from its being significant coverage about the show. The article in the Chicago Tribune was published after the show premiered because it discusses in detail what happens in one of the episodes. Cunard ( talk) 10:10, 17 May 2022 (UTC) reply

An article on a topic is more likely to pass the notability test with a single article in Encyclopedia Britannica than because it has 1 million views on YouTube."

  • Keep checked three of the listed sources and they all provided what I would consider significant coverage about the show, with mentions of the host who is a part of the show, but the focus was the show. When the significant coverage happened absolutely does not matter. Coverage before it airs, while it's airing, and after it's done airing all qualify. It is actually better for it to be like that, rather than a bunch of coverage once it aired and then never again with nothing before. The fact that The New York Times decided to give a full article about a show that was only a week into production is telling. Anyways once this is closed if kept, I'd suggest a merge discussion for the talk pages. Unless the articles are expanded, plenty of sources here, the merge could at least be discussed.

      The article notes: "“Hurl!,” an extreme eating contest on the cable channel G4, has a certain elegance, an economy of action and intent that is too often lacking in contemporary ballet or fine dining. Contestants, almost all male, eat as much as they can in one sitting, then exert themselves in a strenuous physical activity. He who eats the most and vomits the least wins $1,000."

      The article notes:

      It's "Hurl!," a new TV game show that oozes under the lowest bar ever set by reality television. It also emerges as the inglorious new standard-setter in the how-low-can-they-go derby. Oh, yes, this is award-worthy retch-edness.

      "Hurl!," which debuted last night on the G4 cable channel, is the first half-hour series that combines physical rigor with eating disorders and gastric distress. Contestants consume massive quantities of sure-to-bloat foods -- chicken pot pie, franks 'n' beans, New England clam chowder -- then engage in such activities as riding an amusement park Tilt-A-Whirl. The "winner" is the contestant who doesn't lose his lunch. Or to be technical about it, who holds out the longest before he releases the hounds. Call it a pas de spew.

      "Hurl!," in other words, is for people who found "Fear Factor" much too nuanced and intellectually complex.

      The article notes: "If they made a movie in 1988 that was a satire on life in 2008, they would have television shows that would've looked outrageous by their standards. They might even have a game show, in which the object was to be the last to vomit. Well, I have seen the future and it is Hurl!  G4, a cable channel devoted mostly to video game news, has come up with this bizarre concoction. In Hurl!, contestants are involved in eating contests (hot dogs, fish sticks, etc.) with those who can keep the most down continuing on to the next level. In this part, they are subjected to different activities (belly flops, mechanical bulls) designed to shake things up. ...  Congratulations, G4, you've come up with the most disgusting show of the year. I hope."

"Hurl!" contestants are forced to gorge themselves, then are purposely, rapidly, twirted and shaken on carnival-type rides, with the last player to retain his stomach contents declared the winner.

Semiregular features include "Rastapiece Theater," which presents dreadlock versions of the classics, and "The Above Sea World of Jacques Cousteau," wherein the crew of the Calypso invades dry land to liberate the fish in pet stores. ("Fortunately, Armand's spear gun makes quick work of the would-be slave trader and we are able to free our tiny friends.") ...

Like SCTV, Pirate TV sends up TV shows and commercials with gambits like "The Above Sea World of Jacques Cousteau," wherein our daring, wet-suited explorers venture onto dry land to free the captive animals in a pet store. Maury Povich makes a guest appearance to claim credit for the "Pirate TV" concept (actually, a couple of his former writers now produce this MTV show) and ...

But to say that The Capital article, that the subject is a stamp collector rather than the Society, seems exaggerated to me, given that the collector (Christopher Deterding) was the secretary-treasurer of the Germany Philatelic Society, and the 18-paragraph article, that's the centrepiece of the page, and continued on the following page, does discuss the Society itself; I'm not sure the concern about this article.

Fails WP:NORG, lack of reliable sources. Press release-like writing doesn't help. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 13:27, 1 May 2022 (UTC) reply

Of the nine citations, two are the organisation's own website, and four are dead links. That leaves a book and two Chicago Tribune articles which incidentally mention it, which I wouldn't really say is significant coverage. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 15:07, 3 May 2022 (UTC) reply

I propose that this article be deleted. This school is not notable enough to be featured on Wikipedia and reads more like a Yellow Pages entry. For example, there is no information about the school having produced notable alumni, or the school having produced outstanding academic results in relation to other schools, or the school or its faculty having won any notable awards, or the school having any special historical significance. As a point of comparison, one may refer to articles of other schools in eastern India.

Non-notable morning zoo show. Current sourcing barely mentions the show and I could find no better. Previous AFDs closed as "no consensus" due to a myriad of WP:ITSNOTABLE-type votes.

  • Delete All of its non-Orlando-limited N came from the unnotable Sirius XM run, along with being one of the many over-the-air replacements of Howard Stern to fail in syndication; and no, getting COVID doesn't add N to anything. In 2022, being a mobile radio app is completely WP:ROUTINE and not special in any way. I don't know how many times I can repeat the same rationale, but the third time should be the charm.

  • Delete. What the sources, or at least those that can be considered as reliable, actually show is our subject's lack of significant, independent notability. We get the typical claim that a laconic Forbes appearance in the 2022 listing of billionaires constitutes a "profile"; it does not, although the citation appears twice in the article under different titles. Then, we are presented with the Hungarian edition of Forbes that carried in 2021 a report about the financial woes of Gattyán Rahimkulov; we can locate various online reports about other persons that mention the name "Rahimkulov" but are not about Megdet, such as this one about billionaire and politician György Gattyán's connections to the Rahimkulovs. Sourcing then degenerates into pure irrelevancy such as an OTPBank link that does not even mention "Rahimkulov" or this out-of-sevice url. What we have here is a failure of the notability claim. - The Gnome ( talk)

The subject's a typical administator in business ("supervisory board", "Independent Directors Association", "member of the Board of Directors of several Russian and international companies", etc). His sole serious claim to notability appears to be some Wall Street Journal "profile" but the url leads nowhere. From then on, all we have are appearances in listings and directories, of which one would have at least have expected more, even though they do not by themselves offer proof of notability. There is truly nothing on which to hang a significant notion of notability.

Delete. Article's purpose/notability has been questioned since 2006 with seemingly no good answer - and repeated vandalism such as the current statement "Often seen about town with one or more dogs, Larry continues to age like wine." by what appear to be sockpuppet accounts seem to reinforce the lack of genuine notability of the individual. It should be noted that the individual *does* appear to actually be a writer for several shows, though from what I could tell in a rather limited role - being responsible for maybe one episode in the span of a given series.
