"Most effective tactics available" is not what "meta" stands for, but
metagame. It seems like a
backronym of some kind. See

That's definitely a backronym. Meta just refers to strategies about strategy: the "meta" of the game, as opposed to the base mechanics. It's possible that an article on video game meta may be notable enough for an article without mention to "Most effective tactics available", but it still seems like Wiktionary would be a better place than here.

Weak merge or weak keep. Not a hoax. Emerging niche esport concept that is sometimes confused with more estabilished "metagame" (even in the third source cited in the article...), yes, but not a hoax
per first source cited (also used in some, but just a few dozen at best, academic works like
[2] and
GS results). It has some emerging presence, but I am not seeing any
WP:SIGCOV treatment - that said, I did not read most of those works; but the term is not used in their titles, and many are conference paper or student thesis. I don't think delete is the best coursse, but this is a stub that could be merged to
Glossary of video game terms where it even has an entry. Alternatively, I am open to seeing this kept if someone can demonstrate SIGCOV is met with reliable sources.
Delete, backronym does not meet GNG. There is nothing reasonable to merge here. The only source in the article that supports this backronym is a student publication and probably not reliable. A quick
WP:BEFORE suggests there's nothing better elsewhere either. Not a hoax, more of a troll/flame-bait, but absolutely not something that we can write an NPOV article about right now. —

Keep—prevalence of the distinct concept of meta as "current top videogame strategy" is
supported by sources 1,2,3, four scholarly articles, and a new in-depth source I found:
Source 1:
In essence, a "meta" in gaming terminology is a generally agreed upon strategy by the community.
Source 2:
The Representation of Meta in Gaming Today
Meta in gaming is used to describe the latest strategic methods and trends among those who play a particular game.
Source 3:
The meta, or the metagame, is a huge part of competitive gaming that refers to a number of things depending on the game that you play.
The term has become more commonplace in esports, with casters and developers using it to describe what is powerful, or overpowered, in matches.
Another source with in-depth coverage I encountered:
(contains the expression "most effective tactics available")
The sources (ex. #2, #3) clearly say that the word "metagame" has taken on two unrelated meanings over time. The first is "finding alternate ways to play a game" (what the
metagame page mostly talks about, barring synth/coatrack content about the second concept). The second concept, more commonly under the abbreviation "meta" is about the "current top strategy". Another source:
In the world of gaming, meta is used in two ways. Meta can be used as an acronym for “most effective tactics available,” and calling something “meta” means that it’s an effective way to achieve the goal of the game, whether it’s to beat other players or beat the game itself. Meta can also be short for metagame, which is using information about the game, derived from the world beyond the game or its rules, to influence the outcome of the game or gain a competitive edge.
The first definition corroborates well with other sources. The second definition here, while a bit misinformed, is still about the "metagame" as finding ways to play a game beyond the rules. It refers more to
Metagaming (role-playing games) than
metagame.
There is also a plethora of scholarly articles treating "most effective tactics available" (and not the other definition of the word metagame):
(all contain the expression "most effective tactics available")
In view of all the above, think the best solution, that would also solve synthesis problems in the
metagame article, is:
Merge all contents relating to "the current top strategy" here.
Leave out "playing the game differently" content to other articles.
Use
the dedicated DAB page for "metagame", and/or page headers to point out the multiple meanings of the word.
Clearly, those are two different concepts with the same word. Deleting this article or merging would exacerbate the synthesis problems on the
metagame article, make it much harder to maintain quality due to its bimodal scope. Lastly,
WP:NOTDICT#Good_definitions explicitly discourages writing articles about words which have multiple definitions.
For convenience, here are also links to the two other articles about "metagame":
Thank you for this. I appreciate your work and desire to improve things and hope you are able to here. Regarding the sources, of the two papers I'm able to see, one (researchgate.net) seems to be a publication by 4 bachelors students, nobody with a degree credited. The other (oapen.org) does not use the backronym in question at all. "Ekfluidgaming" is marketing copy on a store page, not reliable, grammarly seems to be
WP:UGC on a product website, not reliable.
Now, even if we were able to establish notability of the backronym, which we have not, I would still strongly suggest a merge to the
metagame until we have a strong demonstrated need to split. My suggestion is not theoretical here. Take a look at the
Metagaming (role-playing games) article: it currently has
WP:OR problems and massive under-referencing problems. As an avid tabletop roleplayer I can personally confirm some of it to match my understanding, but I also disagree with some of it as well, and ultimately that's why we rely on references to support statements in articles, and not our own knowledge as individuals.
There is no real fear of
WP:SYNTH here. Existing sources in
metagame explain the underlying concept of the "game about the game", and cover the concept of competitive video game "metas" in tandem with other aspects (like designed metagames in roguelite games, etc). Perhaps the only exception being the woefully undereferenced tabletop rpg side, which I might look to improve sometime after this reply. I think if editors are truly interested in improving coverage of this concept or any aspect thereof, improving this article seems to be the most effective tactic available.
Right now, the encyclopedia is best served by removing the page under question. If we find any reliable source that defines "Most effective tactics available" as a backronym (ideally a bit of a description or analysis, rather than just a mention in passing, lest Wikipedia propagate the slang), then I suggest a redirect, and citing that source on
metagame, and only splitting once we have a demonstrated need. —
siroχo 20:41, 16 July 2023 (UTC)reply
See this additional in-depth source which I forgot to mention:
Sadly, that site was sold to Valnet in 2016 so reliability is iffy:
discussion about CBR from a year ago, and it's a passing mention. I promise I'm not trying to be difficult, and it's quite reasonable that a redirect and note could be created based on a source we just haven't found yet. But even in my cursory examination of social media (eg
[3][4][5]), there's a lot of argument about whether the backronym is meaningful or valid. I personally don't trust a passing reference in CBR to have been based on a reasonable evaluation to act as a reliable secondary source that can verify the use of the term in the gaming community. In fact, CBR making this claim without even mentioning "backronym" "debate" or even merely weaseling and saying "according to some" casts further doubt on reliability of this particular piece. Keep in mind this is indeed a
neutral point of view issue. If some of the gaming community is adamant this is not true, and some if it is adamant it is true, we need to rely on a reliable secondary source to evaluate, or we're not remaining neutral. —
siroχo 21:29, 16 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Based on your linked discussion, I think CBR is reliable for this purpose. The sources do not seem to debate about or argue about anything, so I am not sure about your second statement.

Kate the mochii (

I think that seems to be well documented in at least one seemingly reliable source you provided (the oapen.org one maybe?), and a sentence noting that "meta" is the common term with citation would be a valuable addition to the relevant section of the
metagame article! I see that it's mentioned elsewhere in the article, unreferenced, definitely needs improvement. —

Selective merge to
metagame. All three of
Metagame,
Metagaming (role-playing games), and
Most effective tactics available are discussing the same concept (an approach to a game that transcends or operates outside of the prescribed rules of the game, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game.) in different contexts. I don't think that the idea of using the best strategies is distinct enough from metagaming in general to warrant its own article, and the sourcing on the term "Most effective tactics available" is dubious, but there might be enough to include a sentence or two about it in the etymology section. At the very least all three articles need some cleanup to define their scope.

I would also like to note that an approach to a game that transcends or operates outside of the prescribed rules of the game is very different from the best way to play a game (definition of meta). Operating outside of the rules is the direct opposite to being the best at a game. In fact, people engage in "metagaming" due to being bored with trying to play the "meta".
Kate the mochii (
talk) 02:05, 18 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Finally, the talk page over at
metagame has been mentioning this exact same issue since 2007:
This article begins by defining metagaming as things done outside of the intended rules of the game, but several of the examples and much of the body text in the article define metagaming as simply advanced strategy within the intended rules of a game. Ideally, someone should find a reliable source on what metagaming is, cite it, and rewrite the article to match it. In the worst case, this article should be nominated for deletion as original research until someone can find a clear definition.
Splitting the metagame article into this one solves the scope issue.

Redirect per Lamona. Doesn't seem to be quite enough to work with here. Policy-based rationale follows.Rule: although not mentioned above, the applicable criterion appears to be
WP:NBASIC, which states People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. (I am tempted to make an argument that
WP:ACADEMIC applies because Arizona law, like the law of any US state, is a distinct field of scholarly work and inquiry, but I'll save my breath.)
WP:DGFA reminds us when in doubt, don't delete, and
WP:PRESERVE highlights the importance of keeping content within the positive-sum wiki process whenever possible. Sources: I am not quite persuaded by the other participants' negative view of the sources, for example
[10] seems to have a nontrivial amount of secondary content despite also containing interview excerpts, and is from 15 years before Loo became head of the Arizona Bar Association so would appear to be independent. Nonetheless I don't really see a critical mass of coverage here. Conclusion: Suitable for redirection. --

Visviva, I'm not sure that the Arizona Bar Association magazine is truly independent - she's a member of the bar, and the magazine promotes the bar and its members.

I would not be greatly shocked to find that there are sharp divisions on this topic, much as for local news. But in my experience bar journals are typically edited to a very high standard and often employ professional journalists. Even member-written articles are
typically peer reviewed (PDF), which is notably a level of rigor that very few US-based law reviews accomplish. It's true that a bar journal is unlikely to run a negative profile of a member (or even a non-member), but I'd be quite surprised to find that any statements in that profile hadn't been carefully reviewed and fact-checked before publication. I would accordingly argue that bar journal articles generally meet the lack of any direct influence with the subjects involved requirement suggested by the
Wikipedia:Independent sources essay. --

I think the problem is the ongoing problem with there being no universal definition for comic strips or even "British" in this context. Technically you could make an argument for anything from a Steve Bell political cartoon to Watchmen being a British comic strip. After a couple of random dips into the page history it seems to have been set up as a container for newspaper/magazine strips and the like before being expanded with strips from comic titles. Problem again being that some are both. The argument for sortable categories isn't bad, but at the same time I'm highly unconvinced the list can ever be made useful for that purpose, and that if it ever was it would be so big it would need splitting up by decades or something.

WP:IAR against itself). But I believe in this case NLIST does in fact serve the encyclopedia by pushing us toward a positive-sum solution. I am but a humble ignoramus in this topic area, but based on the discussion and links here it seems to me that an optimal approach would be to break out the list by magazine/publisher and discuss those outlets that already have lists of their own in
summary style. Whatever the best solution, the current "known vs. lesser known" breakdown can surely be improved upon. --

But the sourcing is unreliable and/or superficial (both being briefly stated and, potentially worse, not reflecting any intense analysis). The "Chess Variants" website is
user-generated content, and none of the particular pages on it that are cited in these articles appear to be written by
subject-matter experts, in the Wikipedian sense of the term, so that escape clause is inapplicable. As an organizational matter, having articles on pieces rather than games seems to have generated some confusion, thanks to the reuse of names between variants. The natural conceptual unit is the chess variant, or perhaps the overall topic of chess variants, not the piece.

The teams competed in ten events staged on the sand and in the water including "Hot Air Climb," "Bungee Basketball," "King of the Raft," "Beach Bout," and a "Crash and Burn" finale that included a variety of challenges such as a hill climb, a two-person kayak maneuvering a wave-runner around a course, a sprint and sand-crawl and a rope-swing into a pool."
The review provides 204 words of coverage about the subject. The review notes: "About Beach Clash, for instance, starring muscle-headed "Hardbodies" Ripper, Sandy, Zuma and Breeze. ... Beach Clash (midnight Sundays, Channel 11) - The producers must have their heads in the sand. In other words, don't believe co-host Alison Armitage when she says ... Not to brag, but I do more amazing things with my body by rolling out of bed most days. These competitions, ranging from Hill Climb to Beach Bout, are strictly Dullsville, man. ... Beach Clash's other host, David Hirsch, plays the role of a geek seeking a physique. Ms. Armitage's principal contribution is to giggle at his attempts to be a hardbody in mind, if not body."
The article provides 61 words of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "Beach Clash (syndicated). The Idea: Gladiators meets Baywatch. Sample Games: Hard-bodied contestants have a midsurf tug-of-war and drop from a parasail onto a floating target. The Getup: R-rated bikinis. Filler: Learn about contestants’ career goals while watching them frolic in slow-motion. Fun Bonus: Gratuitous shots of swimsuit-clad women in the shower. Bottom Line: This T&A fest would make Aaron Spelling blush."
The article provides one sentence of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "After all, what are shows like American Gladiators and Beach Clash if not genially decadent versions of overbuffed Greek gods and goddesses bulging and sweating for the amusement of us rabble?"

Weak delete and redirect to
Morigaon. But rename the redirect "Ahaturi Natua Gaon"
The
2011 Indian census lists an "Ahaturi Natua Gaon" in the Marigaon subdistrict of the Morigaon district, population: 2951. There is no
Natuagaon listed. (Note: the Indian Census page links to a massive Excel spreadsheet with statistics on the 29,395 villages in
Assam province. The 48.4 MB file downloads very slowly after several tries)
Google Earth shows a
Natuagaon LP School in "Ahaturi Natua Gaon". The Google Earth
link shows "Ahaturi Natua Gaon" as just an area about 500m from the edge of
Morigaon, the district HQ.
The
Wikimapialocation link that's the article's one reference leads to a location with no mention of "Natuagaon" that is not in the
Morigaon district. (The article specifies "Natuagaon" that is in the Morigaon district.)
If "Ahaturi Natua Gaon" is the "Natuagaon" of this article, then as a census-listed village it might technically qualify as notable per
WP:GEOLAND. GEOLAND counts a place as notable even if it doesn't meet
WP:GNG if it meets this guidance:
Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low. Even abandoned places can be notable, because notability encompasses their entire history. Census tracts, Abadi, and other areas not commonly recognized as a place (such as the area in an irrigation district) are not presumed to be notable.
However, I think it better to link to the nearby city,
Morigaon unless someone turns up more coverage of this place. Perhaps note in the Morigaon article that "Ahaturi Natua Gaon" is a village on the outskirts.

Redirect to
Morigaon district. This could be a straight-up
WP:V deletion, as none of the sources cited on either EN or HI actually mention any place in Assam by this name AFAICT, and no other valid sources come to hand. But redirection seems likely to better serve the user, and more importantly reduces the costs of a mistake in case we're completely wrong. I agree with A. B. that this is appears to be a misspelling or alternative spacing of Natua Gaon, as in
Ahaturi Natua Gaon. It doesn't seem to be a very common variant. But given how Marigaon and Morigaon are written it's at least an understandable mistake that can
support a redirect. I'm sure an expert in the local governments of Assam could sort things out a little better here, and possibly even stub out a decent article on Morigaon's
Marigaon circle and each of its 162 villages. But in the meantime we non-experts can only stumble along the best we can. In that spirit I have added a list of the five circles of Morigaon along with a brief mention of Ahaturi Natua Gaon village to the
Morigaon district article. (I was going to provide a bit more demographic info but was surprised to find that the census website currently only gives population counts for the district and village levels and leaves the reader to fend for themselves to figure out the totals for the circles/subdistricts.) A systematic treatment of the divisions of Morigaon district is beyond my abilities, but that should at least be enough to allow for a cromulent redirect. --

Keep. South B is a legally recognised populated place and so has a presumption of notability under
WP:GEOLAND. "South B" has two entries in the Kenyan census of 2019 Vol. II Distribution of Population by Administrative Units, page 239 (download at
https://www.knbs.or.ke/publications/). One gives a population of 102,441; the other, a divison of this, gives a population of 34,216. Based on what's written, I believe this article is referring to the smaller place. The article states South B is an estate, when perhaps it should be described as a district or suburb of Nairobi. Not a good idea to merge to
Makadara as that article appears to be about a nearby area.

Keep - I am a little reluctant to pander to what can be an overly broad understanding of GEOLAND, but there is a longstanding consensus that Wikipedia is a Gazetteer, per
WP:GAZ, which is where the GEOLAND guidelines come from. So this location is deemed notable for a page as long as it is a legally recognised populated place, and perhaps even if it is just a named populated place. South B is recognised, and there is plenty of information about it. It gets mentioned frequently in the Kenya Gazette
[13] and here it is in French language press:
[14]. You can see the district bounds on Google Maps, and googling
[15] confirms it is a recognised district. I found various references to it in terms of slum improvement too, e.g.,
[16]. Thus this clearly meets GEOLAND's low bar of recognition. Still, Wikipedia is not indiscriminate, and an often ignored part of GEOLAND is to consider whether this could be merged with a broader article. The appropriate article in this case would be Nairobi, but I think there is a good case that the Nairobi article is large enough and that district articles should thus be child pages. There may be a possibility of a district aggregation article that this could be merged with, but such an article does not exist. Thus, with no appropriate merge target, and also as per Rupples, this is a keep.

Slightly weak keep. The
WP:NAUTHOR case actually looks reasonable here for the science fiction work. Without looking very hard, I found several reviews of his books over a long period on Publishers Weekly[17] and Kirkus Reviews[18]. Note that the Kirkus ones are not in (predate?) their pay-for-play "indie" program. I expect more reliable source reviews may exist for the older works. The
WP:NPROF case from citations is also a possible pass -- he has a several highly cited papers as first or last author (in a field where that matters), in a medium citation field. The combination of the two weak keep cases starts to look stronger.

Wrong. Per Wikipedia's guidelines, the notability of a subject is independent of what condition the article itself is in. And it's not handwaving to do a search for reliable sources before offering an opinion on whether or not a subject is notable. As a final note, I usually do improve articles during AfD discussions but haven't had a chance to do so here. But even if no one adds a single one of the citations above to the article, that doesn't matter at all to determining if a subject is notable. And in this case Jeffrey E. Barlough does indeed meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines.--

Non-notable mayor of a suburban town. A BEFORE search brings up only local coverage, and we traditionally do not keep articles on local politicians just because they have received coverage in the local paper per

SportingFlyerT·C 20:29, 9 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Delete. Hillsboro seems to be large enough that a substantive and well-sourced article about a mayor would likely be keepable, but is in no sense large enough that its mayors would get any "inherent" notability freebies in the absence of any real substance or sourcing — the notability bar for a mayor is not "he exists", but requires the ability to write and source real, informative content about the political significance of his mayoralty: specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But there's nothing like that here, and the referencing is parked on one primary source
self-published by the city government, which isn't support for notability at all, and one single news article verifying his initial election to the mayoralty, which isn't enough all by itself to claim that he would pass

This was nominated and kept in 2022 based on several "Keep" !votes citing
WP:GEOLAND and
WP:NEXIST. The article meets neither of these guidelines as NEXIST requires sources that, well, exist and GEOLAND requires sources with "verifiable information beyond simple statistics". The only non-map/database source is a climber's guide which mentions the lake in passing as a landmark on the way to a destination. This isn't SIGCOV and it tells us nothing about the lake itself aside from its relative location. Given the lack of additional coverage, deletion is appropriate in this case. –

Obvious Keep The subject was covered extensively by major news sources like The Oregonian for 30 years, and so there are plenty of exclusive sources that prove it is notable. This isn't just a random restaurant with only guidebooks or a few local reviews about it. Even the closure was covered by multiple sources as a notable event. 99% of restaurants don't get this kind of coverage and it obviously meets general notability and sourcing requirements.

The stuff its printing in a regular and timely basis is paid for PR, like the rest of it.

a few books. Given the era this party was active (it dissolved in 1999, while the WP article implies that it still exists), coverage is more likely to be offline. If heavily tweaked to filter out unrelated content, the Milliyet archive
gives 13 articles where this party is in some way mentioned. I don't think it's a far stretch to think that this passes the GNG, given that it is one of the few parties ever that was openly associated with the PKK.

Comment well far-left Turkish parties are an alphabeti spaghetti of the same terms used in a different order over and over again, so that organisations with similar or even identical names at different times may or may not be the same organisation. Looking at the Milliyet archive a number of the stories date from 1992 and 1993, demonstrating that there was an organisation with this name in those years, but since the subject of this article wasn’t founded until 1994, they can’t be the same one.

in addition the three additional sources indicated by Styx are just passing mentions. Some of the book refs may be more substantal but only snippets are showing so I can’t tell. Anyway there’s no question the party existed but I’m still not seeing any in-depth coverage. Perhaps there’s a suitable redirect target such as

The result was no consensus. Editors arguing for delete base their position on the failure to drum up enough available sources to meet GNG; editors arguing for keep point to SNGs and the possibility of print coverage existing. Since we've also established that such coverage would not be accessible/requestable from a typical library, it is essentially impossible to refute either side's analysis.

Keep: according to
WikiProject Television's
guidelines regarding notability, "in general, any television station which produces original content and is licensed by a national government (e.g., the FCC in the United States) is presumed to be notable." WJOS produced original news, sports, religious, and music programming, as well as broadcasting programs from CBN. That would seem to establish a presumption of notability.
The other reasons provided for deletion in this nomination are both invalid: the nomination seems to have been prompted by the cancellation of the station's license earlier this year ("defunct station"), but Wikipedia's general notability guidelines explicitly state that
notability is not temporary. The other reason, "no sources", displays an abject failure by the nominator to comply with
WP:BEFORE, since the article already contained two valid sources for the article's contents: the FCC's station information page contained information about the station's status and history, while the station's web site (no longer active, but available through the Internet Archive) indicates what its programming consisted of.
These and other possible sources should have been investigated by the nominator prior to nominating the article for deletion; see
WP:NEXIST. The lack of sources in an article is not an indication of non-notability; the question is whether sources exist, not whether they have been cited (here, they were actually present in the article, just not cited, which makes it even less acceptable that the nomination preceded without any attempt to determine whether sources existed).
Lastly, I note that while two of the sources I cited are not fully-independent of the subject, the station's web site is a valid indication of what its programming consisted of; primary sources may generally be cited for their own contents. Barnhart's obituary is presumptively valid as evidence of his death, as well as evidence that he was the station's owner, the date that it began broadcasting, and what its ostensible purpose was. There may also be independent sources for these things, but these will do for the purposes for which they're cited.
P Aculeius (

[23] and
[24] are the station's website - not an independent source.
[25] is the FCC listing for the station, it's little more than a database entry and isn't significant coverage. Documents linked to from the entry are written by the station and aren't independent.
[26] is an obituary of the owner of the station (at least it's claimed to be - it refers to him as starting "WJOS TV" but nowhere mentions WJOS-LD). Since it's apparently written by the subject's friends or family and published in a local news outlet it isn't a reliable source and it doesn't offer significant coverage of the station.
I couldn't find any better sources although there are other media outlets called "WJOS". The sourcing is also problematic in that articles are supposed to be based on third-party, reliable sources (
WP:V), this article is not.
WP:TVS/STDS is not a guideline, it's an information page published by a Wikiproject with no official standing, and it notes that While television channel and station articles, like all articles on Wikipedia, must meet the general notability guideline....
This 2021 RfC attempted to make something similar to
WP:TVS/STDS into a notability guideline, the proposal was rejected. Hut 8.5 17:32, 10 July 2023 (UTC)reply
You seem to be unfamiliar with the guidelines for citing primary sources. Works (including websites) are valid sources for their own contents. A television station's program listings and statements regarding what it broadcasts are perfectly valid as sources for what the station broadcasts. That's all they're cited for—and therefore perfectly valid. Likewise, an obituary is a valid source for the fact that someone has died, or that he is the same person as the owner of the station, or that the person mentioned as a news presenter and subsequent owner of the station was his wife. It does not matter whether the newspaper is local or national, print or online, as long as it's in the business of publishing news. I don't know why you even bothered to type "it refers to him as starting "WJOS TV" but nowhere mentions WJOS-LD", as if any reasonable person would be in doubt as to whether these are the same station—and reviewing the FCC's license data clearly indicates that they are.
This is just a parade of excuses for getting rid of something because it's not important to you, all of them ignoring what Wikipedia policy actually says about sourcing. Nobody's claiming that this station was a vital part of the community or that the world won't go on without it—but the fact that it broadcast original and network programming to the area where it was located for around twenty years, give-or-take, makes it sufficiently notable for a short article in Wikipedia, identifying what the station was, where it was located, what it did, and when it was in operation. You can't systematically exclude each source demonstrating these things and then use the lack of sources to justify deleting it—that's not how AfD is supposed to work!
P Aculeius (
talk) 18:17, 10 July 2023 (UTC)reply
The
general notability guideline says that A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This is the main standard used for determining notability on Wikipedia (and the only standard if the topic doesn't have a more specific guideline, as is the case for broadcast outlets). The subject of this article fails this test - the sources cited are either not reliable, not independent of the subject, or don't present significant coverage of the subject. It's OK if the article cites sources which don't pass all three of these tests, but there does need to be a source which does for the subject to be notable. Yes, it's fine to cite the station website for what that station broadcasts, but the fact you can do that doesn't show it meets the general notability guideline, because it's not an independent source. It's also very much not OK to write an article primarily based on sources which aren't independent of the subject - see the
verifiability policy. The obituary also fails this test - it doesn't show significant coverage of the subject (the TV station gets one sentence in it) and it doesn't appear to be a
reliable source. It certainly is not the case that all news outlets are reliable sources, and this obituary doesn't appear to have been written by the news site themselves anyway.
Again, the page
WP:TVS/STDS is not accepted by the community as a notability standard, and the idea that every TV station which broadcasts original content must be notable has been explicitly rejected as a notability standard. It doesn't matter whether the subject passes. And as I've noted it insists that articles should meet the general notability guideline, which this one doesn't. Hut 8.5 07:53, 11 July 2023 (UTC)reply

@
Mvcg66b3r An LPTV is only ever going to get GNG coverage from within its area, for the most part. And WJOS-LD at least has it, evidence of local programming, and the things I generally look for when determining notability. The 2003 profile of Barnhart and the 2020 article on the station's sale are probably the best available material.

Update: I spent a few hours scouring archived editions of the Pomeroy Sentinel and Sunday Times-Sentinel on Google Books, and managed to find some news stories documenting the station's origin and history from roughly 1997 to 2004. Google's archive only goes up to 2004, and the Sentinel no longer has its own web site (it's been amalgamated with several other local news sites) or the ability to search articles from several years ago (I'm not even sure when it first started posting online). But it's enough, IMO, to demonstrate independent and verifiable coverage of the station's establishment, owners, cable provider affiliation, programming, and participation in community events. It's not a gold mine—but it's as much as you could possibly expect to find of a local broadcast station in a very rural area. There is presumably more information out there—the stories only stop in 2004 because I don't have the ability to search for them any later than that. But I think this is enough to support the article's continued existence.

NewsBank picks up the slack from there, though there really is just one SIGCOV piece. I have found and added as a reference an article dated September 1, 2020: "The end of an era - WJOS to be sold". It's a 400-word story and includes a previously undisclosed detail: Brenda negotiated with a Texas man to sell the station, which clearly never happened.

Thanks for the help with the citation templates. I tried to use them, but got errors because I didn't have a URL for the original stories on the newspaper's website—which no longer exists—and which may never have been posted online. All I could find was Google Books archived print copies, and I also got errors due to not having any indication of when they were archived. Plus the links were really long—I only figured out that they were twice as long due to the Google text search and highlighting of search terms after I'd already decided to give up on "cite news". Good thing an expert came along to clean up! Like I said, I don't usually work on things like TV stations—or religious topics, beyond Greek and Roman materials—I only came to this because I got an AfD alert for WikiProject West Virginia, and it seemed like a topic that shouldn't be deleted. I may not have any interest in the station, but if I run across references to it I'd probably want to be able to find out what it was. And that's the value of short articles on Wikipedia! Thanks again for your help.

Weak keep Hoo boy this is a something. I have worked on several LPTV projects over the years (
W21BF is kind of similar), in addition to evaluating a lot of the HC2 stations for possible deletion, and small-town LPTVs like this can be very tough to write without the newspaper you need in the right years. If you don't have it, you are flying blind; there is not likely to be coverage frankly of any kind outside that newspaper. It may say something that I have only ever taken three LPTVs to DYK amid my hundreds of stations (I can even name them:
K26AC,
WVUP-CD,
WYBU-CD), and each of those had a lot of coverage for different reasons. The coverage in The Daily Sentinel includes two bona fide SIGCOV pieces and a bunch of material that at least attests to local programming. This station was clearly something of a goner the moment Pete died; it never repacked (channel 45's frequency is no longer used by TV stations), though it did hold a permit to move to channel 34.

I really was hoping this article would survive because from the heavy sourcing, one would assume there's meat there. However 99% of the sources all say the same thing: "she's sexy", with about that much depth. There is
one character analysis in a scholarly paper and a book excerpt that examines her role as the protagonist' shadow in the first game, but those by themselves are not enough to carry the article. Other book mentions are trivial and list her alongside other characters in the vein of "Lara Croft led to this". In the end, it's another Niemti Special, complete with some sources that don't actually say what they're cited for, and magazines not fully cited so I can't verify their contents.

Weak keep. There is adequate sourcing, in my opinion, to warrant the article's continued existence. There's the scholarly article, "Virtual Babes: gender, archetypes and computer games", which is definitely significant coverage by itself. Add one book excerpt, and together that makes the bare minimum for notability then. There's also enough aggregate non-trivial coverage, from various articles, listicles, list articles and anywhere in between. With regards to the WP:SIGCOV threshold, the guidelines do not say we must have an arbitrary number of articles or sources which specifically talk about the character in its entirety, as long as the coverage is non-trivial: there are cited sources which are single sentence blurbs or passing mentions about the character, and yet others which specifically highlight the character's importance as one of the series "main selling points", or whatever that means.

I recognized immediately that the vandalized version of the article had a lead paragraph that did not match the title of the article, but it appears that the nominator did not. I removed the vandalism, but I wonder if the nominator based this AfD on Nbakstar rather than the Maltese rock band called The Myth.

Without prejudice to a future properly-written article, yes, it might be better to start over. If not deleted, the current article must be reduced to a couple of supported sentences, summarising his career and authorships, without dragging the reader through unreferenced reminiscences about teenage career-path decisions, and lists of every academic he's met.

Hi Bazza, the "external project" you linked (
https://ototwmountains.com/) is actually the primary source of information regarding the OTOTW status of a mountain. It is a database of on-top-of-the-world mountains and their measurements. It's in a similar sense to how Peakbagger.com is the primary source of information for the elevation and prominence of many mountains on Wikipedia.
With all due respect, I have no interest in promoting a website that is merely an informational source without any monetization. I do, however, have interest in bringing to awareness an idea that has demonstrated public interest, as well as interest among individuals who are more specialized in the field of topography and topographic prominence.
I hope you can keep this in mind before continuing to push forth the deletion process. I believe we are on the same page regarding our need to keep good content on Wikipedia, it's just that we may have some differing opinions on the merits of this topic. I discuss the "reliable, published sources" of information regarding this topic in another comment below.
Gigitoe (

Keep: I certainly understand where you're coming from. The concept of 'original research' as described on the Wikipedia page can indeed be a bit difficult to navigate, especially as it pertains to newer concepts. I can see how it might seem like this article falls into that category, given that I am the original author of the "on top of the world" concept, the initial draft of the article, and the Reddit post. It's important, though, to note that Wikipedia's definition of "original research" isn't meant to exclude creators of a concept from writing about it. Rather, it primarily addresses the issue of asserting scientific claims that are not backed up by reliable sources or substantiated evidence. On
Wikipedia:No original research, OR is defined as "material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist." To prove that something is not OR, "reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article" is needed.

In this particular case, I'd like to reassure you that the concepts outlined in the article are well-founded and backed by rigorous research. A research paper that thoroughly explains these concepts is accessible at this link:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.01600.
---
This research paper is included in Peakbagger's glossary. Peakbagger is a trusted and frequently referenced source with hundreds of citations within the mountain-related pages on Wikipedia:
There is also a website that provides information on whether a particular mountain is on top of the world. Since a previous user mentioned that they did not know where OTOTW listings were coming from, I made sure to include citations to every mountain with listed on-top-of-the-world status:
Finally, to address the "why" of this article, I decided to write it because there was good interest from not only the general public, but also the creators and pioneers of the widely-used
topographic prominence metric on a prominence-related forum on Groups.io. The purpose of the Reddit post, as mentioned, was to assess public interest to see if it's noteworthy, not for use as a primary source. After posting a map of OTOTW mountains in California, many on Reddit have expressed interest in learning about such mountains in other parts of the world.
I appreciate your concern and your commitment to maintaining the integrity and reliability of information. If there are any specific points in the article that you are unsure of, I would be more than happy to delve deeper into it. Our shared goal here is to ensure the accuracy and usefulness of the content, and your input is important for achieving that.

The website was created 2 days ago, by a private individual, apparently in California. That does not appear to be secondary, nor independent, nor reliable). So we are left with nothing at all. As I say, it may become significant one day, but policy is that Wikipedia is a lagging measure of notability. It is not here to promote the measure. So a very clear delete.

While I agree with the deletion policy due to the concept being
WP:TOOSOON, I hope you don't mean that this article is written by someone who "thinks the world consists of the Himalayas and California" in the literal sense. The list of 7000m+ OTOTW peaks includes mountains not just in the Himalaya, but also in the Karakoram, Tian Shan, Transhimalaya, Pamir Mountains, Hengduan Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains. The reason is that the highest mountains in the world are found in Asia. If it's a list of OTOTW mountains ranked by
topographic prominence, then we will see the representation of peaks in other parts of the world, such as Aconcagua, Kilimanjaro, Denali, etc. All of the
Seven Summits are OTOTW by a long shot.
The California map is only for the sake of providing a regional example. But there's plenty of OTOTW mountains found around the world. I thought it'd be better to include a example of one particular region rather than none at all.

As I mentioned in another comment, the website is a database of the OTOTW status of various mountains worldwide. It's similar to listsofjohn.com and Peakbagger.com, the latter of which is one of the most frequently-cited websites in the mountaineering parlance on Wikipedia. The research paper for this concept (

I don't think it's fair to simply label this as self-promotional, considering that at the very core, this is a means of measuring a mountain: a scientific idea, not a personal page or promotion of a sellable product. You can completely detach my name and livelihood from the idea, and the idea still stands: a mountain is OTOTW if it matches a certain mathematical criteria. I hope we can, at the very least, focus on the scientific arguments that are being advanced, and point to falsifiable statements in the research paper and article before making such generalized and sweeping claims. If I'm simply spreading false information and asking people to buy my product, by all means, delete everything and ban my account. But unlike the way you made it sound in your comments, that's not what I'm doing; things are much more subtle than that.
---
It takes lots of effort and work to create new knowledge, and very little to tear it down. I hope that you can, at the very least, read the research paper and demonstrate your understanding of the pros and limitations of the concept, before being so intent on removing this work. Sometimes, it may be good to give the benefit of the doubt, especially in areas that you may not the domain expert in.

CommentWP:BIO says If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability, may help in this case? —
siroχo 09:56, 9 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Keep, substantially per siroxo and IdiotSavant. Policy-based rationale follows.First, the applicable
rules:
WP:NBIO provides that People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject, and that If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability. In turn,
WP:SIGCOV states that significant coverage addresses the topic sufficiently directly and in sufficient detail that no original research is needed to extract the content. It also clarifies that the article subject does not need to be the main topic of the source material. Second, the relevant sources: Among sources cited here and in the article, we have some articles for which Ati Kepo makes up 1/4 to 1/2 of the article topic, and which contain substantial biographical information about him in particular:
[34],
[35],
[36]. As the biographical content can be extracted without any hint of original research, these are squarely within both the letter and the spirit of SIGCOV. We also have some articles in which Kepo makes up 1/4-1/2 of the article topic but which do not contain much biographical information: e.g.
[37],
[38]. We also have at least two RS articles in which Ati Kepo is the main topic, but with little biographical information:
[39],
[40]. These latter sources also appear to be plainly within the letter of
WP:SIGCOV, although perhaps not within its spirit (since they furnish little in the way of article material). (These latter articles also go to show that Kepo is "notable" in the colloquial sense of "important", which is not relevant under policy but for some reason has often proven relevant to AFD outcomes.)Conclusion: Even applying the rules with the greatest rigidity (which is
rarely required), this article still qualifies under NBIO because the article subject has received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. --

Delete: Firstly,
WP:PRODUCTREV is not met.
WP:PRODUCTREV states "the reviews must be published outside of purely local ... interest publications", and then links to
WP:AUD, which states that "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability". The Sydney Morning Herald is a generally local newspaper, and so is the Herald Sun, which focuses on Melbourne. While both newspapers are located in different cities (Pretty Little is located in Victoria), I'm not convinced that reviewers for two local newspapers publishing non-SIGCOV articles on restaurants in different cities is enough. In addition, most of the material in the sources isn't SIGCOV and, thus, I don't believe the restaurant passes the GNG. This is reflected in the article, which is composed mostly of "description" and "reception". The "description" section is unnecessarily detailed and seems entirely trivial. The "reception" section is also quite trivial; actual good information, such as history, is limited. And the restaurant opened fairly recently, in 2019, so there's no historical value in this article either.

Just like
Daruk, which is already nominated for deletion, this character very likely fails GNG. All sources in the Reception section are either Velnet lists (ignored for notability discussions, even more so because they are lists) or discussing wanting the Champions (note the plural) in Smash Ultimate. Outside of the reception section, 7 of the articles sources are primary, most from the same book, and yet even more Velnet, and what isn't Velnet doesn't talk about Revali enough to warrant anything outside of a section in

"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. In plain English, this means that references cannot rely *only* on information provided by the company - such as articles that rely entirely on quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews, website information, etc - even when slightly modified. If it isn't *clearly* showing independent content then it fails ORGIND. Here, the references are simply regurgitating company announcements or interviews with executives and have no "Independent Content" in the form of independent analysis/fact checking/opinion/etc.

I don't dispute that the Cult of Skaro is well-written, but it's indistinguishable from well-written fan-cruft on a fan-cruft site. We should aspire to Davros-like articles, and avoid becoming just another sci-fi fan-site.

The "aim for completeness" in sports articles has been used as an excuse for many articles which are no longer automatically accepted, be it Olympians, cricket players, international footballers, ... and all discussions about these topics have indicated that completeness is not a reason to create or keep articles if the subject isn't notable.

Fram (

It very well could be that none of these articles about unofficial matches for small national team need to exist, but that discussion is indeed relevant to this AfD. There's a risk of reinforcing systemic bias in Wikipedia by picking and choosing which of this type of article to delete. If we delete piecemeal without considering the ramifications across the encyclopedia, it also becomes harder for editors who work on such articles to improve the way the information is organized. For example it may be appropriate to merge this into
Bonaire national football team results. But, then should all parallel articles be merged in a similar way? If not, what would be the criteria? It's difficult to know for those of us who don't work on them.
Also, the comparison to athlete BLP articles doesn't quite apply regarding OSE, because there are indeed a relatively limited number of national teams as compared to individual athletes.
Keep. I'm going to repost the answer I gave to user Fran on my page:
"Hello there.
The article was created separately precisely because it includes matches while Bonaire was not yet a member of CONCACAF, so they are not "Full A" matches.
The case is basically the same with
Kosovo and
Gibraltar, which, like Bonaire, only joined into a confederation in the past decade, and before completing membership, there was only playing against smaller islands and clubs."
What motivated me to create this page in question is the lapse of matches that exists since Bonaire established its national team until it was accepted as a member of CONCACAF. The other matches (mostly against Aruba and Curaçao) have been added as additional information was available on the World Football Elo Ratings. I undestand the
WP:SSE politcs, but because it is one of the last established national teams (created in the last decade), I thought it was pertinent. Thank you all for your attention and good contributions.

Delete - NOTSTATS/NOTDIRECTORY. No, we don't need a history of every unofficial game played between minor islands.

Comment: These matches weren’t random friendlies between islands. A lot of them were selection matches for the National team. Bonaire usually finished last in these tournaments. As a result there was only one Bonaire player in the National team most of the time.

Merge with
Bonaire national football team results. There is some usable information here but this doesn't need its own article. It doesn't meet GNG on its own and the article contents can serve their purpose elsewhere.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Discussion of sources is needed. In particular, claims of unreferenced and potentially unverifiable information need to be addressed, as the keep argument at this point is that this and other similar article comprise a useful primary source by providing a complete account of the sport.

Was PRODDED by
User:Donaldd23 with the rationale "Appears to fail
WP:NALBUM", and redirected to another article by Explicit after the PROD expired. However an IP restored the content, claiming that
WP:NALBUM doesn't apply to
EPs (it does), and invoking
WP:OTHERSTUFF. So now we have to come here. This is separate from the "Analogue Bubblebath IV" AfD, but the same sequence of events has brought it here.

Delete clearly fails WP:NALBUM, and the rationale the IP used "Also if you delete this article there has to be consistency with other EP/single articles, inc others by Aphex Twin." is
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and irrelevant.

Update: I also found some coverage of the time the album went up on eBay, talking about its rare status (
[46][47][48]; last two mostly identical), so I'm now inclined to weak keep.

Weak keep. Another similar reference to what Miraclepine found
[49], and a passing reference
[50]. Both of those are in major publications. Since
WP:NALBUM references the GNG, and only mentions excluding things like press releases etc, this puts me in the weak keep camp as well. —

@
Siroxo: I can't locate any mention of the album or the band in that Vice link. Don't know if it's worth the trouble to fix, since you mention it only as a passing mention, but I know that Vice URLs can be a bit slippery, so I'm wondering if perhaps you meant to link something else. --

Weak keep per above, otherwise redirect to discography per nom. Policy-based rationale follows.First, the applicable
rules: Point 1 of
WP:NALBUM affords a presumption of notability if The recording has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble who created it. The guideline further clarifies that This criterion includes published works in all forms excepting only school newspapers and press releases. Confusingly, NALBUM seems be operating from a different understanding of what notability is than
WP:N, as it goes on to state that Notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article (my emphasis). Thinking too hard about the intended relationship between these guidelines is giving me a headache, so I'll just leave it there. In addition,
WP:EDITCONSENSUS reminds us that Wikipedia consensus usually occurs implicitly. An edit has presumed consensus until it is disputed or reverted.Next, the sources: The sources actually cited/linked in the article are either UGC or self-published. But the above-cited sources seem much better:
[51],
[52] and
[53] are three articles that appear to be entirely about the article subject and to be published in independent reliable sources. In addition,
this piece is not wholly about the article subject but has a solid paragraph of coverage, which clears the "nontrivial" bar of NALBUM and the GNG. In sum, the article subject seems to solidly meet the requirements of NALBUM point 1.Conclusion: The article should probably be kept, under both NALBUM and the GNG, because the EP has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works in what appear to be reliable independent sources. However, NALBUM also calls on us to think hard about whether we really have enough material to support a substantial article here. In this respect I would lean toward merging/redirection, as the total sum of information that can be harvested from these sources is not all that large. But I think there is an overriding concern here. Dismissing the anon's argument as
WP:OTHERSTUFF misses the mark. As EDITCONSENSUS recognizes, our best guide to the consensus forged over time among knowledgeable editors as to how coverage in this area should be organized is how editors have actually organized that coverage. The existence of similar articles might reasonably be discounted when considering whether to delete or keep, but is worthy of considerable weight when considering whether to keep or merge/redirect. Therefore I believe a keep is preferable to a redirect here. --

Keep. I added some references. He seems to be notable as a business executive. Eastmain (

Keep - I'm not super thrilled by the sourcing identified by Eastmain. The Ilta-Sanomat story is an interview, as is the Kauppalehti (based on the title and except, I don't have access to the unpaywalled version) story. Also worth noting that Kauppalehti is a ... mixed bag, at best. If this was a
WP:NORG case, I'd discount it pretty much wholesale. Based on my rather poor swedish, the Åbo Underrättelser story (at least the paper version, which is the only one I have access to) is more about the business than Aarikka. Yes, he's mentioned, but it's all just "Aarikka said so-and-so about this-and-that thing his employer is doing." As a business executive alone, I would !vote to delete.On a more positive note, the sports career looks more promising. He was apparently voted by sports reporters as the best (Finnish) sailor jointly with
Petri Leskinen in 1996 (
[54], paywalled) and the Sailor of the Year in both 1992 and 1996 by
Suomen Purjehtijaliitto [
fi (
[55],
[56]), again together with Petri Leskinen. There's also further interview coverage from 1990s, e.g.
Helsingin Sanomat (1994, paywalled). Also, appears to have been involved in a controversy in terms of using the sail number to advertise a sponsor in 1994 (
Helsingin Sanomat, 1994, paywalled]). There's also a ton of coverage about the subject's domestic sports career, which includes the 1991 Finnish Championship in the 470 class. (
Helsingin Sanomat, 1991, paywalled).And that's from a single newspaper, a quick skim thru the
National Library of Finland's newspaper archive (No public online access, so no links. Sorry.) shows there's at least a full page bio in Uusi Suomi on 7 May 1989. Searching for more is frustrated a bit by the fact that there are so many newspaper hits of him in Olympics and various Finnish sporting events. Plenty of these fall in that awkward "probably
WP:ROUTINE, but a bit bordeline" category, where they combine sports results with some interview material and perhaps a paragraph of biographic material: not quite "purely sports scores", but not in-depth either.It's a bit of a mixed bag, but even if nothing individually is a "smoking gun", the amount of medium-quality sources is enough to push me to a keep.-

Keep. I don't see what the problem is. The outcome of the RfD was "restore" and the article has plenty of references this time.

The article primarily uses primary sources and reviews of the series in general, a quick Google search doesn't give sources that prove the character's notability.

Delete per Piotrus. Primary sources aren't enough to support an article. There aren't enough reliable third-party sources to pass the
