Non notable “tik tok” celebrity that lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them thus falling short of GNG. Furthermore it should be noted that fame/popularity aren’t one and the same with notability. Celestina007 ( talk) 23:48, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Although unsourced at the point of this nomination as is customary, I did a WP:BEFORE search which showed subject of the article lacked in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of him, which is an automatic GNG fail and also did not satisfy WP:DIRECTOR.

  • Comment Other sources include [1] [2] [3] [4] [5], et cetera. There's over a thousand hits for his name and "baseball" in the 1940s and 1950s, so I'll stop here, most of it is local coverage from the teams he managed but it exists. He moved into flooring after baseball, and finished second in the Michigan State League in batting: [6] [7] SportingFlyer T· C 23:22, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep having thought about it, he does fail WP:NBASE and didn't receive much press after he retired (only a couple of articles) but was so heavily mentioned in sources during his playing career and managerial career that WP:GNG's probably met. There was nothing wrong with this nom, though. SportingFlyer T· C 09:25, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - He does fail WP:NBASE as he never made the majors, and only played/managed in the minors. That being said, the sources highlighted by Flyer indicate that he received lots of newspaper coverage, especially from the local press for who he played/managed for. And after looking through them, I'm convinced there's enough newspaper coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. RolledOut34 // ( talk) // ( cont) 23:36, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • No mention in ISBN  9780738530307 or anywhere else that I can find. The fact that it's on the Sanhedrin Mountains in the Mendocino National Forest is suggestive of a campsite, but I have only limited access to campsite directories from here. This is effectively unverifiable. We know exactly two things: a name and a map pin. And the article before us is falsely telling the world that this is an unincorporated community.

  • Delete - Didn't turn up much, and most of what I found was for an old goat dairy near Los Angeles.

  • Keep If I can find reviews this will be stronger, but I'm finding enough evidence to suggest that reviews likely exist but aren't easily found for whatever reason. A likely reason is probably that Google doesn't index African news outlets properly (at least when it comes to NA based searches), something that I know has been an issue in the past as far as source searching goes. In any case, I've got articles from news outlets saying that it received a fairly big turn out and good reception, as well as coverage of them winning some major awards in Ghana. It's not a super strong keep on my end, but I think it's strong enough. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 12:20, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Speedy delete Pure synthesis. Unclear why the external link deliberately mistitles the site. Reywas92 Talk 21:38, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Looking at sources in the article itself, none seem to mention the subject directly (to the extent, as noted by Reywas92, that one seems to entirely misrepresent the linked content and its title). Looking at the sources outside of the article, while a WP:BEFORE search returns some pages/content which refer to the subject, most are mirrors of the Wikipedia article. And, while there are some pieces like this where the subject is mentioned, it is only in passing. I can find no coverage where the subject is the primary topic. Given that this is effectively a list-article I would also question whether WP:NLIST applies as a deletion criteria. (Wikipedia is the only place in the universe, for example, where we find a list of "third level institutions in Cork/Limerick/Galway". This is an entirely arbitrary grouping.)

A dictionary definition. There is no reliable sourcing found via BEFORE that discusses the concept of record fairs as a whole, and this is the only source I'm able to find at all. There are some notable record fairs, which have articles, but this doesn't appear to have one valid redirect target. PROD declined without explanation, so we're here.

    • Reply to Uncle_G, I think some trade show/fairs have a consumer element, where others are industry only at least here in the US. Record fair sounds more unique than swap meet to me as well if a record fair is music trade only, so the parallel is there. StarM 13:33, 14 April 2021 (UTC). reply

Non-notable actor. Search finds nothing more than social media accounts and agency listings etc., and the sources cited are no better, only online CVs and passing mentions as cast member, hence fails WP:GNG. The few film appearances aren't anywhere near major enough to satisfy WP:NACTOR notability, either.

A duplicate of this exists in the draft space, rejected earlier at AfC on notability grounds and awaiting re-review; meanwhile this was published with the same issues.

Not enough in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources to show it passes notability criteria. Current sourcing is either from primary sources (either Harvard itself, or the Harvard Gazette), or are simple mentions. In fact, at least 6 of the current sources do not appear to mention the lab at all (#s 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, and 18). Searches turned up much of the same trivial mentions.

Definitely fails WP:NFOOTBALL and I'm seeing no evidence of meeting WP:GNG. Some may argue that playing in the Damallsvenskan carries a presumption of notability but Åberg has played fewer than 200 mins in that league so can't even really claim notability from that. Searches centred on Swedish sources mainly come back with profile pages on the usual wide-ranging football database websites and articles about namesakes in other fields, such as graphic design and reality TV. I have only managed to find one article in a WP:RS about her; this transfer announcement. The only source I found that wasn't completely trivial was this Wordpress blog entry.

Even if we did argue that the Damallsvenskan was a FPL between 2013 and 2015, when Åberg played her few minutes of football, there is clear consensus within the Wikipedia community that a skin of teeth passing of NFOOTBALL is insufficient when GNG is failed comprehensively.

Schmuhl has only been a political consultant and may also be eligible for deletion. Cardwell has the smallest article of the three, but at least he was an Indianapolis city councillor. Based on only the sourcing in the article, he may also be eligible for deletion, and actually did have his article deleted back in 2009.

The notion that every school that teaches any students under the US system who are in grades 10-12, and in any other system in a local equivalent similar level, is notable by default and as long as we can verrify it actual existed or once existed we should have an article on it, is just not sustainable. The once proposed exception that we limit this to schools that currently exist is just too presentist to justify. We need to move towards requiring at least some level of sourcing on all schools that is indepdent of the school, from a reliable source, and I would suggest we mandate that it be at least significant. This article is sourced only to the schools own website. The only other things I could find we sources that compile information on literally every schools that exists within a certain area. Wikipedia is not a directory or a buyers guide, we do not create comprehensive databases of all products, but that is essentially what most of the sources that list this school are. They exist because schools sell the product of education, although the money even for private schools like this does not often come directly from the consumers, but we have to see most of the sources that mention this institution as either buyers guides or as its own material on itself. This is not enough to justify an article. It is hard to tell for sure about this school, but there are many institutions that use the name school that are sponsored by churches that have primarily a religious purpose, even if they do engage in some non-religious curriculum. For example there is no evidence that I see that this institution is actually accredited by any governing body. I see no clear evidence that if this place operated in the same way on the college level it would pass our notability rules, that is because at the college level we actually require some level of accredidation to be considered default notable, at the high school level we do not demand any level of accredidation for reasons that many stem from the people who developed these rules not comprehending how many marginally to not at all accredited Christian schools existed in the US in even the 1990s, the phenomenon may have become more common since then. Not every indepdent Pentecostal Church that has 75 congregants is notable, and there is no reason to think that every time such a church includes at least 1 student between grades 9-12 in its educational outreach that automatically makes it notable.

The subject is not notable and it is not an established theory. Very few results in google scholar (all from one author; the 2016 works are unrelated) and practically no citations about it.

Delete No secondary sources, primary sources published in borderline journals, article written by a WP:SPA. Tercer ( talk) 11:50, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Comment - strictly speaking, the first source, a book, is secondary. Many of the journals look legitimate to me (i.e., respectable impact factors). The real issue is that 11 of the 13 publication are coauthored by Basaran. Boghog ( talk) 12:19, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
What makes a journal legitimate is not the impact factor, but whether it does proper peer review. This is of course very hard to find out, but MDPI journals are famously bad, and I'm personally familiar with the torrent of nonsense that comes out of Entropy. Heck, right now there's another AfD going on about some bizarre stuff that got published in Entropy: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mechanothermodynamics.

  • DO NOT DELETE- Unfortunately, people advocating for deletion of the Unified Mechanics Theory, have never read the book or any of the hundreds of the papers or dozens of PhD dissertations published under different names of the theory since 1997. Some of the comments such as "I was not aware that there was a need to unify Newtonian dynamics and thermodynamics. Probably because there is none." and "It has the feel of pseudoscience" clearly are not credible comments, just thrash talk which does not belong in a scientific medium. Authors of these comments hiding their names under a psuedo-code oand clearly have never read or published anything in this field. If they want to thrash the theory then first they must read it then show where the errors are in the mathematical derivation and publish a paper. Not just street trash talk. Actually, read the book and hundreds of papers and dozens of Ph.D. dissertations first.

  • DO NOT DELETE- Unified Mechanics Theory name is recent, however the first Ph.D. dissertation on the topic was in 1997. US Navy Office of Naval Research started funding it with a Young Investigator Award [one of 27 scientists US-wide] in 1997. Until recently it was referred to as a Thermodynamic Theory for Damage Mechanics. It has been funded by federal grants in the US and EU in millions of dollars. [Yes, there is a recent EU grant]. Please do not treat the theory as a new religion. It is not. Please read the hundreds of papers, PhD dissertations, books, and watch lectures, then tell us where the formulation has an error. There is a very robust scientific discussion group of 4,300 + scientists, on the Unified Mechanics Theory group on LinkedIn.

  • Comment - DO NOT DELETE, Unified Mechanics Theory and Mechanothermodynamics are not the same things. In Unified Mechanics Theory entropy evolution happens along the Thermodynamic State Index axis according to the Boltzmann entropy formulation and thermodynamic fundamental equation of the material. In Mechanothermodynamics entropy is used as a degradation metric, however, dissipation evolution follows an empirical equation obtained from testing the material. If you are interested in the true scientific discussion please join the Unified Mechanics Theory group on LinkedIn.

        • Actually Google Scholar, hyperlinked helpfully above and used by the nominator right at the start of this discussion, shows no papers from 1998 at all, and the citations for Cemal Basaran are, it transpires, all by Cemal Basaran.

  • Merge to Cemal Basaran, very selectively. The theory comes from a distinguished senior engineer who argues that since equations that successfully model material fatigue can be written in a form that look something like Newton's laws of motion this reveals a new principle of nature. The engineering is difficult and is fine. The problem is in trying to create a physical theory for why the engineering works. The materials models work well, which is why the many papers, but the basic physics for this theory does not exist. Arguments from analogy are not sufficient. For a similar discussion see the AfD for constructal law. StarryGrandma ( talk) 11:41, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Delete. Too soon to have a redirect. StarryGrandma ( talk) 20:46, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
One can always expand Basaran's article with a discussion about his research. I would not suggest to use the information contained in the article because the physics content is bizarre and it is not yet recognized as a physical theory. If we are talking about a model used in engineering science, other questions arise: is it his model? are his contributions relevant/recognized/notable to be included in his biography? I don't support redirecting the page because the name is not yet established in the academic community. One can compare the numbers of results and citations between unified mechanics theory ~ O(10), and constructal law ~ O(1 000). I would have suggested deletion for both. In engineering science I expect much higher numbers. -- SimoneD89 ( talk) 12:31, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I agree with SimoneD89. Until we have reliable sources attributing something to a person or describing a person's research, we should avoid implication of such an attribution in an article on the person. Because of the apparent overlap between similar approaches by several different people, it seems unclear that we can make any such attribution. Just because someone has published about something does not mean it worth a mention – I would wait until it becomes more generally noticed/known. Looking at Cemal Basaran, I wonder whether the subject is qualified as being notable for WP at all. Virtually every semi-decent engineer or professor that I know can boast similar accomplishments, and the references are all sub-par. — Quondum 13:10, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Touché. I concede my error on that point. — Quondum 23:40, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Without commenting either way on Basaran's wiki-notability, I have to say that the content of this article is so bad that an adequately selective merge would be no merge at all. Not even the references could be carried over; they are primary, recent, published in marginal-at-best journals, and unacknowledged in the literature.

  • Keep - this confirms existence and that club played in the third division of Turkish football. Other sources exist to verify, such as this and this. I am aware that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS but we have articles about most of the other Second League clubs, so I presume playing at that level confers notability. Those sources are from page 1 or 2 of a standard quick google search for "Gaskispor" so I am concerned nominator has not complied with WP:BEFORE. Article needs improving, not deleting. Giant Snowman 10:18, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
@ GiantSnowman: I looked at more than just the first two pages of google and all websites had no information, just the name of the club and their members. That's why we're at AfD and not PROD so that I could make sure I wasn't missing anything, which it seems I was. I'll leave this open for a bit but I wouldn't be opposed to withdrawing it if it continues this way. Anarchyte ( talkwork) 12:36, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete to keep articles on fictional characters we need to in some way show that they are notable in the real world. The above contributors have offered no sources showing notability. The burden is on them to prove the subject is notable, not on the nominator to prove it is not notable, for you cannot prove a negative. Wikipedia does not have a grandfather clause, this is not 1925 Alabama. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 20:03, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • I hear you. I'm just saying, it's a low traffic fictional character from an old discontinued TV show. There's no way it survives either way. If this is a procedural keep, it's just going to be an uncontested bold redirect instead. I just felt it was a strange response when no one was advocating actual notability. But regardless, this'll be resolved either way, so it's fine. Sergecross73 msg me 12:10, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Obvious GNG fail. Inclusionist speedy keeps above are so reminiscent of the first decade of this project. Now we are in the business of cleaning hoaxes and spam, not promoting it. PS. That said, the op should have mentioned notability as an issue, lack of sourcing is less of an issue and can be easily fixed just by referencing the TV show itself, for example - that would address the WP:V failing but not GNG. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:46, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete I struck my comment above because I was being too harsh in my rhetoric when I wrote it. Articles on fictional individuals is one of the places where Wikipedia has had the most cruft, and where cruft has survived by far the longest. This is an area where it has taken a huge effort to pare back cruft, and the process has been very long and difficult, and the amount of articles created by people who could not be bothered to even include a source that was primary to the subject is huge. So this is an area where proceduralist objections to making progress is really galling because it has been a very hard striggle to make any progress at all. This article very clearly needs to be deleted. I ams sorry for using too harsh language aginast grandfather clauses in general in my earlier argument.

  • After 15 years, what is appropriate is you looking for sources before nominating things at AFD, and making properly researched nominations. This one has an encyclopaedia entry in James R. Lewis's Encyclopaedia of Astrology ISBN  9780810389007. This is yet another zero-research AFD nomination today, making work for other editors that you should have done yourself.

    • And you don't mention looking for them, either. Did you not do any looking, too, like the nominator? One cannot honestly say that something is a stub for which there are no sources allowing expansion if one hasn't looked, and the only person who has looked so far, going by what you say here, is me. We're all supposed to do that: me, you, and the nominator. Furthermore, Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary explains the difference between a stub, which is what this is because it tries to explain a concept, and a dictionary definition, which this is not because it isn't giving the etymology/pronunciation/translation/et al. of a word or phrase.

(Did not have to tell it to go to Google. Did not have to type words. One click.) That found articles in Allure, Bustle, and Teen Vogue.

  • Weak keep I have to admit I think astrology is a bunch of rubbish. However I guess since it is a topic people write on, we do need to have some coverage of I guess we need to keep this. I still wonder if the article though too much works as part of a broad dictionary of astrology. I think it may need to be re-written to relefect to have a more neautral point of view and to stop endorsing astrology. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 13:09, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Well, that's a shame too. Redirecting was initially my idea, since adopted by four other people (including you), but then I get accused of obstruction and bureaucracy. If the consensus of this AfD is to redirect or merge, I will do it myself. You forgot the nominator's careless misuse of the rather serious AfD process and a lesson should be sent to that person.

  • Speedy Keep What in the ever loving million hells of Jainism is this? How is the position of City Attorney not notable? If anything, this article is important as people often confuse a city attorney with a state's attorney or district attorney, all are different offices with different responsibilities, and so this provides useful information. It may be true that an individual city attorney might not be notable, but the position itself is notable, just as a small-town mayor may not be notable, but we have an article on the position of mayor itself.

  • Delete essentially a dictionary definition. Does not consider the broad historical issues, nor does it take a worldwide perspective. Beyond this the article is unsourced. We need to end all unsourced articles immediately. We are not a dictionary, and our scope is neither limited to the English language or to the US. Nor should an article like this limit itself almost to use of the term. There may be a notable subject here, but this article is so full of problems and definciencies it needs to be destroyed under TNT grounds if nothing else. Note also that those advocating for keeping the article deal neither with the dictionary definition problem, nor do they volunteer that ther office is notable by showing any sources that discuss the office as a concept and show that it is notable.

    • So, first off, it may help to have some background in knowing that this was one of 70+ AfDs that this editor nominated today over a short period of time with the same boilerplate explanation.

      To answer your question, we have articles on other municipal positions like mayor and city manager. It is true that this article is not as thorough as those, it could certainly be improved. But a city attorney is a basic municipal office. I'm not even sure how to answer your assertion, do I need to explain why we have pages for offices like mayor and city manager? Further, I did explain above that this is useful and encyclopedic information to have, as this position is often confused with state's attorneys and district attorneys, who are also local government attorneys who handle different duties. See also Local government in the United States for further information. Hyperion35 ( talk) 19:00, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep; a Google Scholar search returns 1,360 results, so the idea of an anal sphincterotomy seems to be quite clearly notable. What's the difference between this and a lateral internal sphincterotomy? Well, I don't know, I'm not a surgeon... but it seems like this is obviously a thing which gets mentioned in literature, and a thing which has its own ICD code. Perhaps it really is a subtype of another procedure, in which case its content should be merged -- excuse me, grafted -- into another article by someone with a bit more training. But this isn't mentioned in the nomination, it isn't addressed by the delete !vote above, and I don't think we can diagnose whether this article should be excised without a proper surgical consult. jp× g 08:10, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Notability rests on two youth science awards, with most coverage essentially BLP1E. Passing mentions/quotes on papers published during his PhD are not significant, direct, or in-depth enough for GNG. An h-index of 5 (Scopus mistakenly curated his work with another researcher's, inflating citations) in this high-publication, high-citation field indicates he is very far from meeting NPROF C1, and none of the other NPROF criteria are applicable.

O'Callaghan (2009) all of which look very shaky and went on with quite normal lives (all except Patrick Collison). I see Ciara Judge is borderline but all of her awards are youth awards which generally do not count for NPROF but maybe for GNG, so I agree to leave her out of this for now. The others however do not look very notable to me. -- hroest 03:32, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply

If you want to honestly say that a subject has no in-depeth independent reliable sources, then you must check that for yourself. AFD is not a notability testing service. You are supposed to put in the effort to check that yourself before coming to AFD, otherwise you are just tagging articles and offloading your work onto other editors.

Seems like a possibly notable topic, but this article has been unsourced since January 2007. Needs a deletion discussion. Coin945 ( talk) 05:52, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Ideally, I'd like to see it cited and kept, but a quick google search doesn't turn up much use of the term. I get the feeling other terms like quasi-state ( or it's alternate "proto-state") are often used instead, at least in the English language. I can't even find enough mentions of the term to suggest redirecting it to proto-state, even though the terms seem to almost overlap. Barring someone else finding information about the term somewhere, I guess deleting it is the policy compliant option. It can always be recreated if that changes.
I'm not sure this article is even on anyone else's watch list. I edited it once or twice, like 11 years ago. The creator was blocked for massive copyright violations in 2017, so they aren't going to pop up to argue for saving it. (I just checked their talk, wowza, an unblock request response reads "You've certainly been previously warned; the word "copyright" appears on this page no less than one hundred and twenty-eight times") So, who even know where the text he created this with even comes from? I could be a copyvio for all we know, except it doesn't show up in google searches, so maybe this is one of the few he didn't copyvio. He iro 07:30, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply

It's been unsourced for well over a decade. It was tagged as uncited and orphaned in 2009. Before I made my comment above I looked for information to cite and/or expand the article. I tried several variations of the spelling, just in case. I found several instances of it being used in a text, but nowhere did I find a definition or a discussion of the term, except on a few blogs. I couldn't find anything that would pass as a usable WP:RS . If you want to give it a try, feel free. If if no one is interested in adding citations to a 14 year old uncited orphaned stub, well.

  • Keep but tag for improvement -- This is an article about a historiographic or anthopological concept as to the development of human society. Uncle G clearly has some kind of access to the book: please edit in appropriate improvements, including at least a citation of it. A book that has been republished is likely to have been influential, so that its concepts are likely to be notable. Heard died in 1971, which makes it unsurprising that the nom can find little on the Internet, but not long enough ago for the book to be out of copyright. A redirect to Heard will not do, as that article talks about other aspects of his life but says little of his archaeological/anthropological work, which is clearly where this comes in.

    • It's hard to find an actual source for this, but that's because (a) it's so basic and (b) this needs to be treated in a different way. Knuth discusses both single- and multiple- pass algorithms in TAoCP, in the "Coroutines" section, if anyone wants to have Wikipedia discuss this in the way that an expert does. But I see no need for any administrator tools in renaming, refactoring, rewriting, and improving an article that one has researched. Uncle G ( talk) 10:43, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • Yes. This is a very basic topic: a lot of the results via google are essentially just lecture notes and lecture slides. But what do you mean treated in a different way? I think there's enough material in sources, and precedent on Wikipedia, for one-pass algorithm and multi-pass algorithm to exist.

  • Comment No valid reason given for speedy keeping. The article only has one listed source.

John Pack Lambert ( talk) 13:45, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment IMO the article should be kept and cleaned up. The distinction is important in CS, as a one-pass algorithm by definition can deal with arbitrarily large input with bounded memory. I no longer remember who wrote what, but the definition is clear and useful, and the term itself is clearly in use. To me, the fact that a lot of the references are in things like CS course notes tells me that a Wikipedia page on the topic would be useful, but I don't know where that lands us with Notability standards. The part on cluster representatives seems specific to database algorithms, so I'd be inclined to take it out. I'll see if I can dig up a few references and do a little cleanup --dmh
  • Keep I missed the link to streaming algorithm. With the text on cluster representatives removed, I think this article is about right: The full details, including the mechanics, are covered under streaming algorithm. This article just calls out that a one-pass algorithm is a particular kind of streaming algorithm, and gives examples of what you can and can't do in one pass. It adds an increment of value over streaming algorithm but mentions some specifics about one-pass algorithms in particular. The one area of improvement would be the examples. It would be good to call out a case that can be solved in more than one pass but not in one. As to notability, "one-pass" algorithm is definitely a term of art in CS. I think the hits for CS courses attest to this, but I don't think they need to be included in the article as references, since they only support notability and don't particularly add to the understanding beyond what's already in the article. --dmh. — Preceding undated comment added 15:45, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. This is an important subtopic of streaming algorithms. If it were stubbier, or the streaming algorithm article less broad, then a merge rather than deletion might be warranted, but as it is I think it works well enough as a stand-alone article. Googls Scholar has over 10k hits for "one pass" "streaming" and about the same number for "single pass" "streaming" so notability or availability of sourcing should not be an issue. — David Eppstein ( talk) 20:38, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The article needs some more work, but I have added some additional references, more are quite readily available (from searching "one-pass algorithm" or "single-pass algorithm") and it seems fine to me as a stub. jp× g 23:22, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Actually, maybe fold into streaming algorithm. I've twice seen material here that's more about particular kinds of streaming algorithm and not about one-pass algorithms in general. First, with the earlier material on cluster representatives, and recently with an assertion that one-pass algorithms work by filtering -- reading input blocks and writing output blocks. Some do, but I don't think any of the original examples do (e.g., finding the sum of a list of numbers). On the other hand, I believe both techniques can just as well be used with multi-pass streaming algorithms. Certainly filtering can -- ask any UNIX pipeline. Rather than having such useful information continually end up in this article, it might be better to make the body of this article a subsection of streaming algorithm and leave this page as a redirect to that section. That still recognizes that one-pass algorithms are a thing, but keeps the technical details under streaming algorithm where (I think) they belong Dmh ( talk) 00:18, 16 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • Not all streaming algorithms are one-pass algorithms. Streaming algorithms are a broader topic. In particular, turnstile model streaming algorithms are not one-pass algorithms. So although this is a subtopic of streaming algorithms, it is distinct enough from the broader topic that I think it can stand on its own. — David Eppstein ( talk) 01:25, 16 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Oppose speedy keep All those votes should be ignored. When something comes to AfD it represents the investment of time to do three times as much editing at least as what is required to create an article, and it opens people up to very negative reactions so it is also emotionally difficult. We need to consider the merit of the topic. We should absolutely never allow procedural keeps. I would be interested in seeing the above editor explain what these alleged found sources are, and explain how they meet the rublic of being reliable, 3rd party indepdent sources that provide significant indepth coverage. Not all mentions of something are enough to show notability. We need to actually consider this on its merits, not dismiss an attempt to improve Wikipedia. Especially when the articles were allow to sit without any sources for 14 years. We need to improve Wikipedia, and speedy closing nomination like this will not do that. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 12:14, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
The votes that you think should be ignored cited four different Wikipedia guidelines that were violated by the nomination, so you are effectively saying that those guidelines should be ignored too. That is an argument to be had elsewhere. And if you think such a discussion is "emotionally difficult", nobody forced you into it. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 13:19, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. As of right now, I count four references in the article: there is absolutely no "unsourced" argument to be made. If an article sits without sources for a number of years, that's sad, but there are ways besides deletion to fix this (as has been demonstrated here and elsewhere). jp× g 23:22, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Verifiability guidelines mandate that all articles have sources. People should not vote to keep based on sources until they have bothered to incorporate the sources into the article. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 13:33, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • That's a content guideline, not a deletion guideline. If articles existed at George Washington or Computer that lacked sources, this would not justify deletion; the fact that an article lacks sources at some point is not an indication that it's non-notable or cannot be sourced. jp× g 06:13, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • Furthermore, @ Johnpacklambert: the comment about "bothering to incorporating sources" seems a bit inaccurate; I've spent the majority of today searching for sources and incorporating into articles from this enormous batch nomination, and have only gotten through a few of them. The issue is not that people "don't bother" to reference these articles, it's that it is impossible to do this at a rate that keeps up with high-volume "delete" !votes. It's usually quite straightforward to find these (often as easy as a simple Google search), incorporating them into the article as inline citations and formatting the references properly takes much more time than the thirty to fifty seconds necessary to !vote "Delete". jp× g 06:49, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • To be fair, if an article existed at George Washington or Computer that lacked sources, I would vote 'Delete', as even if the subject is notable, who knows if the information about the subject is accurate? It's potentially quite dangerous and I'd prefer no article (for now - able to be recreated in the future) than an unverified one. Just my two cents. :)-- Coin945 ( talk) 06:17, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • Presumably, it would be quite easy and simple to find a WP:RS mentioning the existence of computers, and certainly less effort than nominating an AfD, requiring people to discuss it for seven days, requiring someone to close it, and then requiring yet more people to realize someday that there was no article about computers and create one (with the pallor of a failed AfD hanging over them the whole time). jp× g 06:42, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. A cursory search revealed five fluid mechanics papers mentioning and using the term, which I have added as references, with appropriate inline citations. jp× g 06:43, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Update: six papers. jp× g 06:58, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as above. An article without sources is an article to improve, as per the foundations of Wikipedia. If there are no sources/citations. that's something to improve upon, not necessarily something to strike down or remove. doktorb words deeds 08:48, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep There are now references. It would be nicer if they were included as foot notes supporting specific statements in the text instead of just slapped on at the end. When I made the statement above I am 99% sure there had not yet been any sources added to the article. One can not attack me earlier for not having the cleavoyance to see what will happen later. This is all the more true because I can show you multiple discussions at AfD where those wanting to keep never bothered to add anything to the article at all. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 12:04, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Unsure. This has a bit of the feeling to me of an article that slaps two commonly-used keywords together ("external" and "flow") and in such cases we shouldn't argue for notability merely based on the existence of many sources that happen to juxtapose the same two keywords. Is this really a notable subtopic of fluid dynamics? If so, for this kind of subject, we should be able to find textbook sources that list it as a subtopic among other kinds of flow, rather than the kind of poor sourcing (various specific primary sources about specific flow computations rather than this general topic) that we currently have. Uncle G's book source is much more convincing, but it's still only one source, and it's hard to tell whether its organization of the topic is idiosyncratic or standard. — David Eppstein ( talk) 07:48, 16 April 2021 (UTC) reply

        • Notability is not the issue, it is notable. It's just that a passive integrator circuit is exactly the same as, and better known as a low pass filter. SailingInABathTub ( talk) 23:35, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
          • "Passive integrator" is not equivalent to "low-pass filter". There are many non-passive low-pass filters, and there are many passive circuits that could be considered to approximate integration. There are also many passive low-pass filters that do nothing resembling integration. Even a passive first-order low-pass filter is not considered to be synonymous with "integrator", unless its purpose is thought of as being integration of a signal. Until you nail the concept, a debate of its notability is not happening. A much nicer example of a passive integrator is a shunt capacitor being driven by a current source and with voltage as its output, but we would not normally call this a low-pass filter. "Passive integrator" is a bad name for a fuzzy concept. Notability needs suitable references, and these have not been forthcoming. — Quondum 00:09, 16 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - The topic is acknowledged to be notable. The issue here is subject matter organization and accessibility. Deletion of Passive integrator circuit does not clearly improve things.

Anyway, from all the little blurbs I've read, typically 'paleness' is a observation of the result of some kind of effect; 'adding white' 'low saturation', etc. I think that generally qualifies something as a definition. It doesn't seem like there's research into the artistic definition of paleness (as opposed to medical paleness) so building a meaty article would be a challenge. Unfortunately, the term is so broad that I don't see how it could be merged into only ONE of the suggested articles above (and the color theory article is so technical and just unpleasant to read, I wouldn't redirect it there). Because I did put in a WP:Before effort, I'll post the findings on the article's talk page in case someone else wants to examine them for their meritcs.

  • Redirect. Paleness isn't a fundamental property of color, but how close to white a color is. It involves two properties, Luminance and Colorfulness. Colorfulness is the most appropriate target for redirection. Vexations ( talk) 16:14, 18 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Merge per the discussion that has languished since Novemeber 2020. Some times I think we should change AfD to Articles for discussion, like CfD is Categories for discussion, because discussions of renames and especially mergers often languish in ignored obscurity. I mean merger discussions should not last 4 months unless there is a lot of discussion. I am not sure the target is exactly the same, but at least it has sources.

      • Do you seriously think this is a hoax? In any case, this title arguably covers the broadest scope among the similar articles, so content could perhaps be moved TO this page. Lots of pages link here, so at least a redirect would be useful. 75.34.27.208 ( talk) 03:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Merge with Theme (narrative) and Subject (music), without prejudice to eventual recreation. There just isn't enough here to justify a standalone article; it's a vague enough subject that it's obviously notable enough and could obviously be fleshed out by a sufficiently motivated editor, but a subject with this little content written about it doesn't really need to be split across three articles. jp× g 03:24, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Redeict to Theme (narrative). If people can find sources to support alterations or changes to the scope they are free to do so. I am not really sure there is much here to merge anyway, so I am not sure there is a real distinction between merge and redirect at this point.

  • Redirect. I've found out that we have a List of As the World Turns characters, List of As the World Turns recurring characters, and As the World Turns cast members -- wow! Looking through those articles, it doesn't seem very common for characters to have their own articles linked, and of the ones linked, many of them seem to just redirect to the lists. Certainly, having a standalone article for a soap opera character would require more establishment of notability than is on display here. "Natalie Snyder" "As the World Turns" returns a whopping 52 Google results; of these, a large number are Wikipedia mirrors, and many more seem to be other wikis. The few that seem like they could be adequate sources seem to be simple cast listings. It's possible that there could be offline sources, but it doesn't seem likely to me that these would demonstrate enough notability to have a standalone article for this character. jp× g 03:13, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Furthermore, Wikipedia:Verifiability is a content policy, whereas Wikipedia:deletion policy is Wikipedia's deletion policy. The rationale above to base notability upon whether or not articles are sourced, and therefore verified, is a conflation that is not congruent with Wikipedia's deletion policy whatsoever.

  • Delete or Rename This either needs to be deleted, or renamed and rewritten under "Washing" if that is the term used in reliable sources. The article also needs reliable sources. Even then, I could see this being merged into a broader article on laboratory processes, chemistry, or organic chemistry. Finally, Wikipedia is not a How-To manual, so I'm not entirely sure as to the point of this article. I mean, "be careful, water isn't always the proper solvent to clean your equipment" is not really something that deserves an article.

This is a thing which is done sometimes, but I've never heard it called "priming" and a brief literature search suggests that it is not referred to as this by anyone else, either. Looking at the main article for Washing -- boy, that's a pile if I've ever seen one -- it would probably work better there, or nowhere at all (since there aren't any sources I could find for this). jp× g 01:21, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Verifiability guidelines say that articles need to have sources, not just that sources need to exist. At a minimum people should specify what sources they found would be usable to show notability, but really editors should go to the trouble of adding in the sources in the article before just stating we should keep the article. AfD runs 7 days, and can be extended, for the very reason to give people ample time to edit an expand articles. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 13:21, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • Comment. This attitude expressed by User:Pavlor and you, that an article can be kept only after sources are added, flies in the face of WP:BEFORE and WP:GNG, which both clearly state that notability is about the existence of sources, not about what's actually in the article. It makes me want to refuse to improve the article until the AfD is over just to prove to you that you are wrong. It may be reasonable in some cases to ask that the sources at least be listed in the AfD, when finding them is not obvious or when there are many dubious sources and the question is whether any of them are good enough. It is not reasonable in this instance, because finding good sources is very easy and the difficulty is making a choice among too many of them for the best to cite within the article. — David Eppstein ( talk) 07:18, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • I did not "vote" delete, explicitly giving this article a benefit of doubt. I rescued several articles about obscure computer history related subjects from prod/AfD with much harder access to sources. That is why I don´t like generalizing comments such as "massive availability of relevant-looking sourcing" - posting few good examples is far more helpful. And this is exactly what a fellow editor JPxG did: added sources really help to establish notability - at least in my POV. Well done! So, no reason not to keep this article.

  • Keep. Article has been moved to a more suitable title, which is substantiated by sources: the term "Masked Mystery Villain" returns virtually nothing apart from this article, which to me indicates a good deal of OR went into its title, but the concept of masked villains as a genuine stock character in serials and horror films is backed up by at least two sources I was able to find with minimal effort. It is no longer unreferenced, which was the sole complaint in the nomination. jp× g 08:25, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • JPxG, Per my comment below, the title is not substantiated by sources. The ones added to the article fail SIGCOV by a longshot. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:05, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • @ Piotrus: I exhort you to read further: that book source mentions it in a good bit further depth. There's the abstract on p. 145, but there's also, for example, this from p. 146-147: The Exploits of Elaine’s combination of a fictional detective, a murder plot, a masked master villain, and gunslinging action seem to prefigure elements that were to become generic to later film serials, especially in the 1920s and 1930s and on p. 150 we have This narrative strategy entails a large number of close-ups of objects, which enables the film’s viewers to trace the villain’s steps before the arrival of the detective. jp× g 04:29, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • And then there's also pp. 170-171, where it is discussed what consequences the use of a masked villain has for the filmmaker, use of camera, and engagement of the viewer. Daranios ( talk) 07:15, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
          • Daranios, Would you mind providing the most relevant quote, or a link to the page view? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:58, 16 April 2021 (UTC) reply
            • @ Piotrus: "The surveillant camera perspective occasionally poses a problem for a narrative that continuously promises but serially defers the identification of its cloaked master villain. The camera depicts the villain and his actions from the beginning and thus always threatens to prematurely reveal his identity. ... allowing the villain and the camera to engage playfully with notions of masking and unmasking. ... highlights its dialectic of surveillance and concealment ... foregrounds the camera angle and the serial’s visual technique of hiding the villain in plain sight. .. Such scenes tease the viewers, foster their interest in the villain’s identity ... and underline the filmmaker’s capacity to decide when to reveal the villain’s face. ...remind viewers that an image of the villain’s face would be informative indeed." Hope that was not too long for copyright reasons. The whole story can be seen at the link you already provided, if you'd like to scroll down to pp. 170-171. To show that such analysis is not specific to the series that source focusses on, compare Film Sequels p. 56: "...defines a particularly engaging spectatorial activity because of the repeated concept of a masked villain who hides..." Daranios ( talk) 07:27, 16 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per JPxG, the improvements made and the secondary sources found. As Piotrus has stated, even the original term "Masked Mystery Villain" exists, and in my opinion it would be great to present that in some form on Wikipedia, but sources were hard to come by. For "Masked Villain", two more sources the search finds are Film Sequels: Theory and Practice from Hollywood to Bollywood and Masks in Horror Cinema: Eyes Without Faces. The latter seems to be a book-length treatment of the Mask#Horror film section. It is unfortunately not searchable, so the amount that refers explicitly to "Masked Villain" is not immediately clear. But this article seems the right spot to split out and expand a Mask#Horror film section that is probably to large to fit into Mask if that source was properly used. Daranios ( talk) 10:55, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • Daranios, The first source you found may contain some discussion, but we need to confirm it first - we can't assume the coverage goes beyond one-two sentences, it may or may not. The second does not seem to use the term 'masked villain' at all as far as I can tell (it appears searchable to me)? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:08, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • Piotrus In the section of Film Sequels that I can see there are indeed only two sentences, giving the basic definition of the concept, and, like "Detectives, Traces, and Repetition in The Exploits of Elaine" pp. 170-171 as described above, what avenue the trope provides for the engagement of the viewer.
      • Masks in Horror Cinema: The book can tell us something about the masked villain in sections that talk about use of the mask in horror film without mentioning the term. Or in other words, where on Wikipedia would you put such information instead of here? But the previews alone give non-trivial treament including the term: "the iconography of a black clad, masked villain soon typical in both horror cinema and pulp fiction", "One of the great clichés of postmodern horror spawned from the series is the trope of the masked villain who almost always returns in the sequel, despite apparently being killed", "Masked villains as guardians of puritanical sexuality becomes a staple of the slasher subgenre..."
      • Lastly, these were the first promising-looking secondary sources I could find under the new search term. Have you or the other holders of a deletion opinion already carried out a WP:BEFORE search (which looks rather tedious here, separating trivial mentions from relevant ones) for the new term? Daranios ( talk) 07:15, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • Another secondary source, the PhD thesis The Cinematic Boogeyman: The Folkloric Roots of the Slasher Villain, concentrating on the Slasher film, says that a significant portion of that genre depends on a masked villain: "slasher film feature a villain who is psychologically distanced from the audience/reader: the killer ... remains unknown and unknowable (he is a gloved hand, he wears a mask, he is a silhouette), or else he is a 'maniac'" (p. 64), "often involved a masked killer" (p. 95), "the figure of Death that is manifested in the form of a masked and/or disfigured villain" (p. 187). While Masks in Horror Cinema names Poe as one source for the trope, this thesis points to the bogeyman as inspiration, and talks about what the implicates: "The mask is utilized extensively in filmic depictions of the Boogeyman to convey the fact that he is psychologically removed from the other characters in the narrative." (p. 195) So again, I think there would be a lot to write about in this article if existing secondary source would be properly exploited. Daranios ( talk) 11:58, 17 April 2021 (UTC) reply
          • Daranios, You are likely right; I'd rather have an article on this too. For now, I've withdrawn my vote. Thanks for the source search, hopefully you'll have time to add them to the article :) --03:18, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply

So I think in combination with the notes this is not disruptive behaviour.

Daranios ( talk) 15:43, 14 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. The article has now been referenced, but the sources are very weak. The first is a book chapter that mentions the term 'masked villain' twice in passing (once in the abstract), never defining or analyzing it. The mention in the text is a simple plot summary of some fictional work: "Kennedy and Jameson try to capture and identify the masked villain in a pursuit that covers the serial’s fourteen episodes". This is a far cry from WP:SIGCOV. The second reference added is, likewise, another mention in passing, if in an academic work [13]. The one and only sentence in that article that mentions the term goes "In Scream, the identity behind the masked villain is not immediately known to the audience." I am afraid that any claims that 'the article is now improved' need to do MUCH better than this. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:04, 15 April 2021 (UTC) reply

People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable office, not just running for one — but this article does not demonstrate that he had preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him an article independently of the candidacy, and it is not reliably sourced to anything like the depth or volume of coverage it would take to make his candidacy markedly more special than everybody else's candidacies.

  • Delete his role as a commentator and activist is not enough to show notability. Being a candidate for US congress is never enough to make someone notable. A few (very few, there are roughly 33 candidates every 2 years, and if 1 non-winner is notable as a candidate it is rare) US senate candidates are notable for such, but I am going to state that there is no US house candidate who is notable just for that, although several are notable because of other political positions they have held. There are over 10 times as many US house candidates in theory each election. In practice every or virtually every senate seat is contested, although a few contestants are long shots, but in the House a large number of seats do not have a major party opposition candidate.

  • Strong Keep. Nationally significant figure. Easily passes the GNG. He was a pioneer of the grocery business in Trinidad and Tobago and a leader of the Chinese community. Built the first shopping mall, which bore his name: JT Allum company pioneered the first concept of a mall in San Fernando when they built Carlton Centre in 1965 [14]. Was profiled by Fr. Look Lai in his book [15] (which was published by an academic press). Inducted into the Business Hall of Fame by the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce [16]. (Profile linked from that page [17]). Per WP:BEFORE you should really take a moment to search for people before AFDing them. Guettarda ( talk) 13:13, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I respectfully disagree with you. He may be known in his community, but the businesses he founded weren't publicly traded and I don't see enough coverage to pass GNG, or pass WP:NBUSINESSPERSON, i.e.: Biographical material on heads and key figures of smaller companies which are themselves the subject of Wikipedia articles are sometimes merged into those articles and the biographies redirected to the company . It looks like you edited the article some time ago. If you have more sources, I'm happy to withdraw the nomination. Megtetg34 ( talk) 15:20, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • A person profiled in an academic work published by a scholarly press among other sources easily passes the GNG. Guettarda ( talk) 16:40, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I'm still in disagreement with you, and my view is based on Wikipedia policy and nothing else. The fact that the book was published by the University of the West Indies doesn't make the book notable on those grounds alone per WP:BOOKCRIT. Second, the book is not about the topic. The topic is mentioned here and there. I'm going to stand by my above comment. Simply generalizing that the topic is notable and stating that there are other sources is not enough for me to consider this topic, or any topic for that matter, as notable.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Megtetg34 ( talkcontribs)
  • The source doesn't have to meet the notability guideline, it has to meet the reliable sources guideline. It's a well-regarded academic press, which meets WP:SCHOLARSHIP. The source also doesn't have to be about the subject, it simply has to give substantial coverage.
  • As for other sources: as I mentioned, the Chamber of Commerce induction (see also this article about it). article mentions him as a recipient of the Hummingbird Medal, Gold, the nation's third-highest award. These are news stories in the past few years mentioning a man who died a quarter century ago. I'm only relying on what I can find with a quick search online. While I'd love to improve Mack's bio some day, I don't currently have the time. Guettarda ( talk) 19:38, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Comment Ok. Well, if you decide that you have the time, it would be germane to the discussion to provide additional sources instead of just arguing how important it is to you to strongly keep it. Megtetg34 ( talk) 19:56, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The article on JTA Supermarkets has this subject, Mr. Mack as a significant portion of that article. However, there is obviously more to JTA Supermarkets than Mr. Mack, and Mr. Mack's business appears to have a lengthy history before it expanded into JTA. The main JTA article appears to be written as if someone were able to look up Mr. Mack's article. I am not making an OTHERSTUFF argument, I am merely pointing out that if we take as given that JTA is notable and has its own article, it seems to make more sense to have a separate article on Mr. Mack and link to it from that page rather than merging them. Hyperion35 ( talk) 17:03, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. Frankly, I don't think that topic is notable either and thought about AFD'ing JTA Supermarkets next. Almost none of that page is verifiably sourced, and the editor that created that page, John Thomas at JTA Supermarkets, works at JTA Supermarkets as their social media specialist. Evidence of that is the editor's username and the declaration on the user's talk page, have a look. Not much else found to warrant that as a standalone page either. I certainly can't consider that as a basis to give Carlton K. Mack his own page. Megtetg34 ( talk) 17:45, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
They seem reasonably notable, are there other large supermarkets in Trinidad and Tobago? There seems to be sufficient coverage listed. You mentioned above that because notability isn't inherited, a businessperson's article might need to be merged into the article on their business. But now you've nominated JTA for deletion as well, so merging seems somewhat disingenuous. Hyperion35 ( talk) 18:33, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. After reviewing the article, and the pattern of editing, my view has changed on merging so I nominated it for AFD as well. I still don't think either topic is notable enough though so I'm leaving the AFD for other's to vote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Megtetg34 ( talkcontribs) 19:55, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Sources provided by Guettarda easily mean the subject passes WP:GNG. The article is very stubby, but at any point someone could use those sources to expand the article. -- Jayron 32 18:27, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The sources in the article and in this discussion are adequate to demonstrate notability. The nominator's assertion that a book published by an academic press must itself be notable in order to establish notability of a person discussed in the book is, to be charitable, incorrect.

Comment: Wouldn't that be noted in the company article, i.e. National Oil Corporation of Kenya or politician article Martha Karua instead then where it happened? Based on WP:NBUSINESSPERSON criterion, I don't see there being enough to warrant her own article. The bulk of the article portrays her as a leader, business coach, businessperson per line 1, link to her personal website, etc. If notability is solely based on scandal with other parties, my thought is that it should be noted in the articles where there is enough to coverage of the topics to support notability. Megtetg34 ( talk) 15:38, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply
The NOCK is a billion dollar company (not that wiki's article makes that at all clear). Its CEOs are notable in the same way as CEOs of Fortune 500 and FTSE companies are. Look, here's an academic article which discusses M'Mukindia's management of the company and its aftermath: [18]. The political scandal wasn't just with other parties - she was the central party. Certainly, the article needs a re-write to focus on these things rather than the business coaching. Furius ( talk) 15:56, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Bringing to AfD after 12 years in CAT:NN. It was created by an almost- WP:SPA and at least one other significant editor had a conflict of interests, as seen by their username. It also reads as if written by the company. That indicates issues, but not necessarily lack of notability.

Page created by a SPA or COI editor. Was speedy deleted in the past but recreated. Cleaned up the page to remove advertising cruft. Fails WP:NSCHOOLS as WP:RS are missing. Used to be based on press releases, paid adverts and primary sources. Vikram Vincent 12:44, 28 March 2021 (UTC) reply

Delete: I don't see any notability of the topic, especially without any relevant sources. Might even qualify for a WP:SPEEDY (again). -- Microhierax ( talk) 10:44, 12 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - mentioned in passing here and a few passing mentions in Gbooks but nothing to establish a passing of WP:NORG. Time to get rid of these glorified adverts. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 13:53, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • That is based on a press release related to admissions. Not a RS. VV 14:02, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Oops, I didn't even notice the note at the bottom. In that case, there's practically zero about this institution. Delete Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 16:31, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
