Strong keep this is basically WP:BLUDGEON by now: WP:DROPTHESTICK. Let's not forget speedy delete was wrongly applied and had to be appealed to overturned. But let's refresh how ridiculous this nomination is.

the article was expanded from 3 to 7 sources, and was significantly expanded in content, so a lot has changed
the previous nomination was in no way decisive, misleading to claim it was.
there's a solid reason the speedy delete failed and appeal was successful, so the article us not the same is it.
the previous nomination said wanted more sources, wider range and include something that was not about his death: all these points have been met.
top player in the 70s, for two clubs that are still 2 of the top teams in the country
we would not be having this discussion if it was a Carlisle United player from the 70s would we? WP:BIAS.
All the sources are WP:RS
Radio Eska, Interia, and sport.pl are among the country's biggest news outlets. Lech Poznań themselves are a big European football club so also a good source. The Fuji encyclopedia is a massively popular vademecum on the subject, even if by now a bit dated. 90minut.pl is also a reliable news outlet although very niche.
The man retired over 40 years ago, so still in the PRL-era and way before the invention of the internet. Unless you happen to have a copy of the local paper from 4 decades ago lying around I'm not sure what sources you exactly expect; and yes if I find better ones I will add them.
There has to be some degree of common sense somewhere.

Comment - As at the first AfD, the Eleven Sports Poland obituary posted by Interia, and Radio Eska (without clear attribution) is the only clear source of SIGCOV. The editor who re-created this article days after deletion has added another source (apparently copied over from another wiki): Encyklopedia piłkarska FUJI - kolekcja klubów, tom 8. My concern is nobody has access to this source, and it is unlikely that it contains SIGCOV on Olszyna. If someone does have access, I would greatly appreciate if they could paste anything covering him here. Jogurney ( talk) 13:59, 22 May 2023 (UTC) reply

@ GiantSnowman, which sources do you think contribute to GNG? You called the obits "fairly brief pieces about his death" at the first AfD, and nothing was added from any new sources this time, so...? JoelleJay ( talk) 23:15, 29 May 2023 (UTC) reply
3 sources on the deleted version, 7 on this...? Giant Snowman 17:36, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
The sources mentioned in the first AfD were the 90minut.pl obit, the club website, sport.pl, Radio Eska, and Interia Sport. That leaves the 90minut.pl stats site and Encyklopedia piłkarska FUJI, which no one appears to have access to (the statement it supports is actually from the Interia piece quoting FUJI, so zero additional information or sources have been made available from RS between the first and second AfDs). JoelleJay ( talk) 23:42, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
I think you should re-read both discussions carefully. Abcmaxx ( talk) 13:19, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Are you saying those sources weren't discussed at that AfD? JoelleJay ( talk) 19:27, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply

I participated in the first AfD, and I can unequivocally state that JoelleJay is correct about six of the seven sources having been discussed at it. As I stated here before, the only new source is the Fuji encyclopedia entry which nobody except you has seen, and based on your description it is not SIGCOV. Jogurney ( talk) 23:09, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Except that comment said "keep" and wanted those sources added to the article, whereas all the deletes did not say much at all; so it was discussed in favour of keeping the article not deleting as you're trying to infer here Abcmaxx ( talk) 07:51, 1 June 2023 (UTC) reply
This is untrue. I participated in the discussion of each of those 6 sources and I absolutely did not !vote keep. I'm trying to WP:AGF here, but you're making it exceedingly difficult. Jogurney ( talk) 12:59, 1 June 2023 (UTC) reply

The keep !vote that wanted to add sport.pl, eska.pl, and interia.pl was rebutted by delete-!voter @ GiantSnowman as All look to be fairly brief pieces about his death. The next delete !vote said Sources above are not SIGCOV. And the final !vote agreed that there was a lack of in-depth coverage to meet NBIO.

Anyway, the point is that it is very puzzling that GS, having !voted to delete based on the initial 3 sources in the article and having reaffirmed his delete !vote when evaluating the 3 proposed sources as insignificant, would now !vote to keep based on a single source being added (supporting exclusively material already present in one of the 6 discussed sources) that no one here can even access and for which there is no evidence SIGCOV exists. JoelleJay ( talk) 18:16, 1 June 2023 (UTC) reply
I was referring to the comment by User:Das osmnezz which you happily ignored. But even your 1st comment was a neutral comment. Also people are allowed to change their minds. Abcmaxx ( talk) 07:33, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
??? Is there some kind of language comprehension issue here? The comment by Das osmnezz is obviously what I have been referring to, as evidenced by reading the above comments: this subthread starts with me quoting directly from GS's response to it; you refer to it in response (adding the false claim that all the deletes did not say much at all); and I reply by directly referencing that !vote and rebutting your "deletes" assertion with the assessments of the three sources by GS and subsequent delete !voters. No one is contending that Das osmnezz didn't list those sources; the relevant fact is that three editors dismissed those sources, contributing to the consensus for deletion. JoelleJay ( talk) 08:33, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Yes and User:Das osmnezz listed them in favour of keeping the articles, so not at all dismissed them. Besides this is not an extension of the 1st AfD so your comment is moot. Pinging the user in case wants to comment. Abcmaxx ( talk) 11:25, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Facepalm Is it not obvious that by referencing "the keep !vote who brought up those three sources" I am acknowledging there was a keep !voter who did not dismiss them? That still leaves three editors who did dismiss them, and a fourth editor who obviously disputed that the sole non-trivial source (interia.pl) was sufficient for GNG. And it absolutely is relevant because, as AfDs are supposed to be conducted based on the available sourcing, not the state of the article, it is incongruous for an editor to dismiss all the possible content that could be gleaned from a set of sources at one AfD and then to say the identical set suffices in another AfD. JoelleJay ( talk) 17:06, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete - No additional significant coverage has been identified since the last AfD, so the article appears to fail WP:GNG. If as I noted above someone has access to the Fuji encyclopedia entries covering Olszyna (assuming it covers him at all), I'm willing to reconsider if they paste or summarize the contents. Jogurney ( talk) 14:06, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply
I did not copy from another wiki nor made it up; I had access to it. When it was published it was easily found in all Polish bookshops for many, many years. It essentially has a paragraph about him in a mini-section, as it does for all capped Lech players in this volume. It essentially says exactly what it is attributed in the article. Anyhow, how can you possibly say the other sources are not significant here. Abcmaxx ( talk) 20:38, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply
If that's all that the Fuji encyclopedia says, it's not SIGCOV. As far as the obituaries, we already went through this in the last AfD: The club's press release isn't independent coverage; Radio Eska just published information taken from the club's press release (Jak informuje Lech Poznań w komunikacie....); the 90minut.pl obituary is very brief; which leaves the Eleven Sports Poland obituary (published by Interia) as the only SIGCOV available. The only small improvement over the article deleted by consensus is the addition of the Fuji source, and it doesn't get us where we need to be. Jogurney ( talk) 22:19, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply
you have massively misunderstood WP:SIGCOV. As a reminder: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. All the above mentioned sources are the main topic of the source material and no original research is needed to extract the content and none of it is just a trivial mention. Abcmaxx ( talk) 07:22, 24 May 2023 (UTC) reply
No, and you need to read the entirety of that section which includes this important piece: "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent. So the club's press release doesn't count towards notability whether its published by the club or an independent news outlet. Jogurney ( talk) 12:18, 24 May 2023 (UTC) reply
He hasn't been affiliated with the club for 40 years, in no way this is advertising or a press release, but even not accepting that point, Radio Eska, Interia, and sport.pl are all unquestionably independent of the subject. By your logic any death announcement is not notable, which is just nonsense. Abcmaxx ( talk) 09:02, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
That's a strawman. Like the last AfD, I already said the Eleven Sports Poland obit looks like SIGCOV. As we covered in the last AfD (and many others), sports organizations including clubs have a vested interest in promoting their athletes, coaches, etc., even long after those people have retired from serving the organization. It doesn't matter if a news organization publishes the press release, or if the sports organization posts it on its own website - both are not independent of the subject. Jogurney ( talk) 16:09, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
If it looks like SIGCOV then it is SIGCOV isn’t it WP:DUCK. Abcmaxx ( talk) 08:39, 29 May 2023 (UTC) reply
What does that have to do with anything? One piece of SIGCOV does not meet GNG. JoelleJay ( talk) 23:16, 29 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Keep clearly passes GNG, and a big waste of everyone's time.-- Ortizesp ( talk) 20:25, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete. The Interia piece is decent, but more than one obituary by a journalist from Poznan in a sport-specific publication is necessary for GNG. A smattering of near-identical obituaries is not evidence of sustained SIGCOV, nor is anything from his former clubs. JoelleJay ( talk) 21:39, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Keep - meets GNG, and SPORTCRIT. Yeah, a lot hinges on prominent obituaries - because we don't have many (any?) archives of 1970s Polish media. Nfitz ( talk) 00:39, 26 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Weak Keep. In my opinion one piece of significant coverage should be enough for a topic like this; Olszyna played nearly 40 games in the top-flight league, so I think he's almost certain to have received coverage in the newspapers of his time, its just they're all offline and nearly impossible to find nowadays. When we've found at least one piece of SIGCOV I believe it is sufficient for notability in circumstances like this. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 23:46, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Essentially, this is a WP:IAR argument (ignore the GNG). If we look at Olszyna's career with a critical eye, I don't think it justifies an IAR argument. He averaged 12 league matches (out of 30) for three seasons and then played just 3 matches in the fourth season with a club (Lech) that finished in the bottom half every time (narrowly avoiding relegation once). He wasn't a regular starter, and his club didn't accomplish anything of note while he played for them. I don't think it's ever appropriate to ignore the GNG for a middling performer like this. Jogurney ( talk) 04:32, 1 June 2023 (UTC) reply
It's not ignoring GNG is it though, your comment is essentially WP:IDONTLIKEIT by applying arbitrarily varying degrees of the same rule depending on personal opinion. Abcmaxx ( talk) 07:41, 1 June 2023 (UTC) reply
That is complete nonsense. I've said the GNG should be met (consistent with NSPORTS2022). BeanieFan11 has indicated that GNG need not be met in this case. I'm disagreeing with BeanieFan11. Jogurney ( talk) 12:52, 1 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Nowhere did he say that at all. Abcmaxx ( talk) 07:36, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Keep as the coverage added after the first AFD is enough to pass WP:GNG. Not by flying colors, but enough that the page should not be deleted. Also, I recommend a big fat barnstar for Abcmaxx for WP:BOLDly creating an article after the last deletion rather than dealing with unnecessary bureaucracy in the refund process. Frank Anchor 12:45, 1 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Can you explain how the one new source added since the last AfD (the Fuji encyclopedia entry) indicates the GNG has been met? Nobody except Abcmaxx has access to that source (and they haven't pasted it here), so it's really strange that multiple editors are viewing it as somehow overturning the clear consensus from the first AfD. Jogurney ( talk) 12:55, 1 June 2023 (UTC) reply

@ Frank Anchor, the coverage added after the first AfD is exclusively from the sources dismissed by consensus as trivial/not amounting to GNG at the first AfD. JoelleJay ( talk) 18:20, 1 June 2023 (UTC) reply
That is absolutely not true at all, I suggest you re-read the original, which by the way, is not that relevant given this is a new article. Stop bludgeoning other peoples votes. Abcmaxx ( talk) 06:54, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
What added material was not available from sources that were discussed in the prior AfD? The diff between the last version before deletion and your recreation contains content from the interia.pl piece (discussed at the AfD), content "sourced" to FUJI encyclopedia but also clearly entirely contained in the interia.pl article, a ref swap from his club to the Eska source (discussed at the AfD), and content sourced to sport.pl (discussed at the AfD). JoelleJay ( talk) 08:17, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
If what you say was true, then the speedy delete would have applied, which it didn't, because as I sucessfully appealed it, the article got restored after wide consensus the aeticle is not the same. Thus AfD is not the same as the 1st and us not the same as the original article. Abcmaxx ( talk) 11:21, 2 June 2023 (UTC). reply
The speedy delete is only when article content is substantively similar, not when the underlying sources have been discussed and found lacking. JoelleJay ( talk) 16:43, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply

I am in agreement with Abcmaxx. Also the sources mentioned by Das osmnezz in the previous AFD were most certainly not dismissed by consensus as much of the delete voters did voted and commented before the sources were posted. They were disputed only by GiantSnowman who considered them to be "brief pieces about his death" followed by two generic "delete" votes that did not specifically refence anything. A relist would have probably been most appropriate at the time to further address these sources, but we are here now which is basically the same thing. Frank Anchor 12:15, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
TimothyBlue specified (emph mine) Sources in the article do not show N. BEFORE didn't show anything beyond stats and ROUTINE news which meets IS RS with SIGCOV showing N and pl.wp has no sources for them. Sources above are not SIGCOV. That is not a "generic delete !vote". Furthermore, the only substantive source referenced by Das osmnezz had already been discussed by Jogurney, who clearly disputed that there was enough for GNG, so that makes three participants who demonstrably engaged with that source and one more who AGF tells us also did. JoelleJay ( talk) 16:51, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply

JoelleJay correctly summarizes the first AfD discussion of the sources presented by Das osmnezz. I didn't !vote in that AfD, but I clearly disputed the sufficiency of those sources. I find Abcmaxx's comment that the reversal of the speedy deletion of this article as somehow approving of his editing behavior deeply troubling. As GS noted above, Abcmaxx deserves a TROUT for disruptive editing. Jogurney ( talk) 17:05, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply

The result was draftify‎. No argument for notability has been presented to rebut the well-supported nomination statement; moving to draft instead of deletion as this nomination was in response to a contested draftify, and because the film's release means that there may yet be new coverage to be found at some point. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 23:39, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Phalguna Chaitra

Phalguna Chaitra

Unreleased movie that does not satisfy future film guidelines. This is a contested draftificiation; it was moved to draft space correctly by User:Onel5969. Unreleased movies that have completed production are only notable if production itself satisfies general notability. There is nothing in this article about significant coverage by independent reliable sources. A review of the references shows that they all say that the movie will be released on 12 May; we knew that.

Reference Number	Reference	Comments	Independent	Significant	Reliable	Secondary
1	simki.com	Movie announcement on a movie web site	Not really	No	Yes	No
2	thenewshashtag.com	Movie announcement	Not really	No	Yes	No

7	odishabytes.com	Advance publicity, and announcement of date	No	Not really	Yes	No

The references show that, like many articles on unreleased films, this is a good-faith but misguided attempt to use Wikipedia for movie advance publicity.

Comment - There is very little point in adding references, whether in Odia, in Bengali, in Sanskrit, or in English, before release of the movie. Any references will only say that the movie is about to be released, and will not provide significant coverage because there is nothing to review. Any references at this point will be more of the same. Robert McClenon ( talk) 15:24, 11 May 2023 (UTC) reply

A highly promotional article, with a lot of sockpuppetry surrounding its history.

Question for AnaphoreJT. You say that this is "A highly promotional article". This surprises me, in two ways. First, it's not apparent to me that this is a highly promotional article. But before you bother to explain, take a look at Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Reasons_for_deletion. Being highly promotional is not a reason for deletion. The closest is number 4: "Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content". (I'll admit that I don't know what "relevant" means here -- relevant to what? Anyway, feel free to interpret "relevant" as you wish.) Are you saying that this has no encyclopedic content? You also mention sockpuppetry. The worst I can imagine would be if the article were proven to have been created by a block-evading sockpuppet. "Creations by banned or blocked users" are reasons for speedy deletion and thus reasons for deletion via AfD. The creator is indeed blocked as a puppetmaster, but they created the article in October 2022, and was blocked this month for sockpuppetry that only started last month. (Yes, I've looked at the lists of puppets' edits, both extant and deleted.) Are you suggesting that articles should be deleted if their creators were blocked for activity that only started months later? -- Hoary ( talk) 08:44, 12 May 2023 (UTC) reply

I do not believe this music video has received significant enough coverage from third-party, reliable sources to warrant a separate article.

Delete. The song itself does not have a Wikipedia article, as it is not notable enough. Most of the refs were spam/junk. The remaining refs are from the QT hotel where the video was filmed (not an RS), and Vibe, which is just a promotional piece announcing the release.

Keep. The nomination fails to recognize this as one of very few preserved locomotives, which is a manageable, finite set which can be, and is being, listed. See List of preserved locomotives in the United States, which is organized by geography, ie by state then city. That list, developed as one result of a mind-boggling AFD about List of locomotives last July, less than a year ago, is fairly complete with respect to locos in various museums and in operation (or in storage) on a number of heritage railways, but is incomplete on Niles Canyon Railway. I just added a row for it. It would be great if trains fans participating in this AFD would help build out the Niles Canyon Railway coverage. Some (I haven't checked whom) argued back then that it would be impossible to create a good list of locomotives organized by location, but voila, it has been done.

Anyhow, no one is trying to list all the locomotives that have ever existed, as the nomination poses. This is one of few surviving historical artifacts of this specific type which have been placed in museums (counting heritage railways as such), in effect. Significant investment has been made in preserving it. And, the general argument that there cannot be articles about all locomotives is irrelevant: there is a sourced, valid article about this one. And it is part of an organized documentation system: the list and linked articles.

So there is simply no way that this article should be outright deleted, and this item should not be at AFD. Should it be merged, would a proper merge discussion (which allows more time for interested, informed editors to find their way to discussion and to deliberate collaboratively) end up judging it should be merged? I think not: the article has more valid information (including relatively large-sized photo(s) than can comfortably fit into the list of preserved locomotives. And the list of equipment within the Niles Canyon article, to which some want this redirected, is inadequate. --Doncram ( talk, contribs) 06:48, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Libreboot

Fails WP:GNG. My assessment of citations is at Talk:Libreboot#AfD_or_Merge?, except a book cite I added, which would rate as passing mention. ~~I have been unable to find sufficient sourcing to justify a stand-alone article on Libreboot.org (and/or the associated business). My suggestion is merge and redirect to Open-source_firmware~~, which also currently is not well sourced; however, PhotographyEdits prefers to merge into Coreboot, so I am here to ask for impartial opinions on delete, merge, and to where. Background: Since the approximate peak content in August 2021, [2] the article has been stubified, mostly by PhotographyEdits, partly by justified deletions of some poorly sourced living person information. -- Yae4 ( talk) 18:16, 31 May 2023 (UTC) Yae4 ( talk) 09:18, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Update: I have found a few more, more or less reliable and independent sources covering "Libreboot", such as coverage in PC World. This gives more background, including existence of more companies' efforts to sell products with "Libreboot". I now feel, we will be able to have a decent article, after spending some time at WP:RSN, and probably WP:COIN, and maybe WP:SPI, unfortunately. This assumes proponents of one particular effort to sell products with Libreboot are unsuccessful in their painfully obvious efforts to control the article in biased directions. -- Yae4 ( talk) 09:35, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Merge into coreboot, as already stated by the nominator. Coreboot meets the WP:GNG and Libreboot is essentially the same software without proprietary binaries. If merged to Open-source firmware, this would put undue weight on the Libreboot subject, in the coreboot article it would be appropriate. The current content of the article can be kept since it is reliable sourced. In case more in-depth articles can be found about Libreboot, I am open to change my mind and vote for keeping the article, but for now I agree with the nominator it does not meet the WP:GNG. PhotographyEdits ( talk) 18:25, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Comment: Libreboot now is essentially one paragraph, not counting the repetition in the lead. One paragraph is hardly an over-weight addition to a stub like Open source firmware, which needs additions.

Factual correction: As I understand it from citations, Libreboot from Libreboot.at will be "the same software without proprietary binaries." Libreboot from Libreboot.org has "some proprietary binary blobs removed from coreboot", quoting Libreboot. The existence of two separate "Libreboot" projects currently, and whether to mention this fact, with cite, is a point of contention. -- Yae4 ( talk) 20:35, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply

I don't think the Libreboot article should be deleted. It is quite distinct from coreboot and clearly meets Wikipedia notability guidelines. It has clear sources provided, from notable organizations and people. I can point to countless other articles on Wikipedia that are similarly light, but otherwise meet guidelines. If Libreboot is buried within the coreboot article, then people won't as easily be able to find out about it. The Libreboot's own homepage shows how different it is to coreboot; merging with coreboot would be like talking about GNU Emacs on the Linux article, just because Emacs happens to run under Linux. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.40.219.0 ( talk) 01:38, 1 June 2023 (UTC) — 92.40.219.0 ( talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. and geolocates to UK, home of Libreboot org and their business. reply
Emacs is an application that runs on Linux. Libreboot isn't an application that runs on Coreboot. Libreboot's own homepage explicitly says it's largely the same software, and characterizes the difference as: In the same way that Alpine Linux is a Linux distribution, Libreboot is a coreboot distribution.

In a hypothetical world where there aren't very many Linux distributions, and one of them was notable enough to be mentioned on Wikipedia but not enough to get its own article, redirecting to a section of Linux seems like a reasonable thing to do. ℰmi1y_⧼

It's a misleading argument anyway: Red_herring? In fact, GNU Emacs is written about, or at least mentioned in a couple places, in Linux, but I still think Open-source firmware is a better place to merge into. -- Yae4 ( talk) 07:35, 1 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Per WP:3REFS, please point out 3 sources that have in-depth, secondary, reliable and independent coverage.

This is true and a good reason to prefer keeping the article in my view. But for this, we need the sources. PhotographyEdits ( talk) 14:17, 1 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Factual accuracy: WP:3REFS does not include the word "secondary". Yes, in general we say we prefer secondary, if we can agree what it is. :) -- Yae4 ( talk) 17:26, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Keep: (Nominator) I wish to withdraw the AfD, if possible. I've concluded it won't help to merge with Open-source firmware, as the same issues have already come up on Talk there, and it won't help to merge with Coreboot, which is better left as a more focused article. The problems here are probably better handled at WP:COIN and WP:RSN. Other suggestions from uninvolved editors would be welcome.
The surface issue here is sourcing. The root issue here is WP:COI. Some editors want Libreboot to be solely about (i.e. advertising for) the latest manifestation of a small business trying to sell computers that boot with what they now call Libreboot. They want to include some self-published (or is it primary, or secondary?) cites for including selected, marketing info, such as devices available from the marketing arm of Libreboot-ORG. On the other hand, they want to exclude other similar, but maybe more reliable, cites for even mentioning Libreboot-AT, and what they also call Libreboot. It seems these editors also want to exclude basic history: What is currently called Libreboot-ORG, was previously called Gluglug, [3] but oddly this is only mentioned now in Coreboot. Gluglug and Libreboot-ORG were previously working with the Free Software Foundation, et al., on again, off again, naming, re-naming, all basic facts that should be included in a history with OK cites.
Example: A glance at Crocfarts short, WP:SPA, and targeted edit contributions and Wikimedia uploads shows clearly what they did here: add to Libreboot and take away from Coreboot. Also, they ignored discussion of Phoronix as a source (no consensus, with puppetry), at User_talk:Crocfarts, and deleted Phoronix-cited info, at Coreboot. -- Yae4 ( talk) 17:31, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply
The article has changed substantially since this AfD was opened, with many good edits by Yae4, so I think it would be prudent to accept the withdrawal of the AfD. The topic is in flux so there will be more work ahead, but that wouldn't be made easier by a merge to another article. Nemo 16:29, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Delete. She received some buzz in lay media around 2019 as being a "young scientist to watch", however, four years on it seems that this coverage would qualify as BLP1E. Her citations are ok-ish for a post-doc in this field -- Scopus has her at 250 citations across 7 papers (plus two errata), with her top 5 at 148, 47, 30, 18, and 4 citations. She has 3 first-author research papers totaling 33 citations, plus the book chapter at 47 citations. This is very, very far from the profile expected for NPROF (to put this into perspective, my PhD mentor also publishes on aggregating proteins in neurodegeneration; a student of hers who graduated last year was first or second author on two papers that total 300+ citations, and a current grad student already has ~200 citations from 3 papers she was first or second author on).

Delete Forbes "30 under 30" lists are what TV Tropes would call overly narrow superlatives. The sum total of her profile there is two sentences. That's neither in-depth coverage nor an example of an award where a mere listing would go a long way. (If you win a MacArthur, you're probably notable, even if all that the source says is that you won a MacArthur.) The Vogue item does not provide much more weight; it's a listicle of 25 women that allocates Joshi a paragraph. The DNA India item is also just a blurb, so superficial that I can't in good conscience call it "sustained coverage". Researchers giving talks is just part of what researchers do; unless it's something like being selected to give a lecture in an annual series where the selection itself is a high honor, it's not enough to argue for wiki-notability either. So, I am seeing neither a WP:PROF pass nor the significant coverage necessary to support a pass by any other means. XOR'easter ( talk) 18:28, 7 May 2023 (UTC) reply

I'm afraid I'm not seeing a pass of NPROF, and I'm unconvinced that Forbes is enough for notability. A lot of people get on Forbes lists (hundreds, given the ten categories and multiple geographies; versus thousands of nominations, so the chance of winning if nominated isn't that bad). It can be argued that the selection for Forbes/Vogue is more about being the sort of person who gets yourself nominated than being truly notable in a Wikipedia sense. NPROF is a far better measure because it doesn't depend on the subject's attitude to their own publicity. She was clearly a very successful student and post-doc, so maybe it's still WP:TOOSOON?

I think Vogue notability is a different thing from WP:Prof notability but... ( Msrasnw ( talk) 08:49, 11 May 2023 (UTC)) reply
Even if avoiding mild oddity were a policy-based reason to have an encyclopedia article, this presumes that anyone reads back issues of Vogue from half a decade ago... XOR'easter ( talk) 12:44, 20 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete. I think XOR'easter summed it up best. This person doesn't pass WP:NPROF, and if someone tries to take the GNG route, those Forbes and Vogue X under Y articles are not really suitable for establishing notability, in part because those become expansive indiscriminate listings, but also because what is there doesn't really amount to WP:SIGCOV. Those can be an indication to keep an eye on a person in coming years, but we have WP:CRYSTAL policy when it comes to speculating like that in the here and now. As I was reviewing this AfD and the subject, I have to admit the keep WP:!VOTEs really didn't give me any substance to work with and would be something I would not be able to weight very much in assessing WP:CONSENSUS so far. KoA ( talk) 01:10, 21 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Comment after relist on GNG. I'll just reiterate that this pretty clearly doesn't meet GNG either. WP:NOTNEWS is policy, which deals with the kind of fluff those 30 over 30 type lists from Forbes and Vogue are. That's not the level of WP:SIGCOV needed to satisfy GNG, but instead are the type of sources often used as WP:PUFFERY that can catch people, including editors, off guard.

Keep. I'm not a big fan of basing our content on listicle-like publicity coverage but that's the fault of using GNG for notability, not the fault of the subject. As long as we're using GNG, I think the Forbes and Vogue coverage and the Indian newspaper followup coverage are in-depth and reliably published, and I think the Forbes and Vogue coverage are independent enough of each other to not be a problem with respect to WP:BIO1E. — David Eppstein ( talk) 06:28, 29 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Best wishes Msrasnw ( talk) 15:51, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Mostly, giving talks is a WP:MILL activity that all professors engage in. Exceptionally high profile talks can occasionally indicate WP:NPROF C1. In this case, it looks like the Royal Institution hosts talks every few days [8], and I don't see anything to indicate that this one was especially high profile. The BNS page indicates that the talk is hosted by the RI, so I think this is the same talk -- I'm not sure why the dates differ, but perhaps the talk time was moved? In any case, this talk looks to me like the kind of activity that helps to build academic notability, but which is not sufficiently high profile to grant it by itself.

Gothamk ( talk) 18:03, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply

None of that satisfies GNG. The first link is to an event description for a lecture already discussed above as WP:MILL. For the remaining ones, simply being in an RS does not equal notability. Those listings of X under Y are typically pretty indiscriminate and cover a large number of people rather than SIGCOV. This doesn't address the problems brought up with those sources above.

List of languages by writing system

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

WP:OR WP:SYNTH WP:UNSOURCED. Any language can be written in any writing system, many languages have in fact historically been written in multiple scripts, and even today – as we speak (or, I guess, as we write) – some languages are currently being written in multiple scripts ( Serbo-Croatian, Kazakh language, Uzbek language, Japanese language, Berber languages; it looks like Ukrainian language will also transition from Cyrillic to Latin after having approved an official transcription standard in April 2022 etc.). The only difference is that some scripts have been officially approved and used, while others have been unofficially used, each all to varying degrees. There is no way for writing systems to "claim" particular languages, nor the other way around. These are constantly changing, dynamic interrelationships. You can categorise Berber Latin alphabet as a Latin writing system (so a List of Latin-script alphabets is perfectly legitimate), but you cannot claim the Berber languages for any particular writing system. That's just not how it works. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk) 16:19, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Delete strictly inferior to List of writing systems. Walt Yoder ( talk) 00:35, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Strongly Keep With respect, the complaint that Any language can be written in any writing system seems utterly specious. The fact is that in the real world specific languages do get written in specific writing systems, and this is information that can be useful to know. Many languages are national, and the nations have officially recognized scripts. For example, I recently wanted to check which writing system is used to write Slovok nowadays: is it Latin or Cyrillic. And I don't see how the statement There is no way for writing systems to "claim" particular languages, nor the other way around. makes sense: there is no implication in the article that the connection between a language and a script is set in stone: it just reflects reality. I note that the argument that some languages are written in multiple systems or change system is built into the article: entries note where this occurs. Also, I disagree with the claim that "writing system" is poorly defined: there is a link to a Wikipedia page that provides a very clear definition; whether you agree with that definition or not is hardly the point: it is the definition used by this page. (While I am at it, I disagree with the claim that Any language can be written in any writing system: it ignores the problems of homophones, tones, stress which may not have adequate apparatus in a given writing system: for example, pinyin has five tone markers which is good enough for Mandarin, but not adequate for the 9 tones of Chinese.)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rick Jelliffe ( talk • contribs) 01:59 3 June 2023 (UTC)

With respect, the complaint that Any language can be written in any writing system seems utterly specious Иф со, ыоу wоулд нот бе абле то реад wхат Иьм wритинг хере. Θερε ἰς νο ῥυλε ωιχ σαις θατ θε ᾽Ενγλισ λανγυαγε, φορ ἐξαμπλε, νεεδς το βε ωριττεν ἰν θε Λατιν σκριπτ. Kidding aside, if we're talking about officially recognized scripts, that is an entirely different scope, see for example Official scripts of the Republic of India. Without 'official' in this article's title, it's a free-for-all catch-all. I'm inclined to agree Walt Yoder's point that List of writing systems does a much better job at this, and am open to Iseult's suggestion of perhaps reframing this article to List of writing systems by language, but perhaps both these points need to be accompanied with official status in order to prevent the same problem of arbitrary lists of writing sytems arbitrarily connected to languages.

it just reflects reality How do we know that if it's completely WP:UNSOURCED? Anyone can claim anything without needing to provide evidence.

I disagree with the claim that "writing system" is poorly defined: there is a link to a Wikipedia page that provides a very clear definition WP:CIRC. One article cannot rely on another article to do all its defining and sourcing, it still needs its own WP:OR for WP:V. As it stands, this whole article remains completely WP:UNSOURCED.

it ignores the problems of XYZ I'm not denying that it may be more difficult to express language Foo in script A than in script B, or that it may be more difficult to express language Foo in script A than it is for language Bar to be expressed in script A. That is not the point. The fact is, it's possible (and my Cyrillic and Greek-script joke at the beginning illustrates that). Even if in the case of, say, the Vietnamese language, you'll need to invent lots of extra letters and diacritics in order to preserve the proper pronunciation etc. Or, in the case of the supposed " Montenegrin language", you feel the need to invent extra letters to distinguish yourself from the supposed " Serbian language" for political reasons, even though pronunciation is nearly identical, and linguists may make fun of you. Where there is a will, there is a way. The Kazakhstanis struggled for a bit in the late 2010s (due to the overus'e of apos'troph'es ev'erywh'ere in the pres'iden't's propos'ed alph'abet), but seem to have settled on a Latin alphabet to write the Kazakh language in henceforth. You can always make it work. No writing system "owns" any language, no language can only be written in one or certain writing systems alone, and Wikipedia shouldn't claim or imply such nonexistant static relationships between them.

Body Central

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

Notability does require verifiability. Businesses are not inherently notable. Various claims in this article are not reflected in its cited references, such as the claims that it: "Was immensely popular through the early 2000s, and was comparable to Wet Seal, or Aeropostale," or "Had about 300 stores across the United States," or that it was "Famous for its large shiny blue tiled facade" (which seems like trivial information anyway). I could not verify them in other sources. Most articles that mention this store discuss its filing for bankruptcy. The number of articles that mention its downfall does not make up for the apparent dearth of quality content. Trivial coverage does not make this any more notable. One of these sources (and others) are local sources, which, again, do not make for notability. There just is no substantial coverage of this company that warrants keeping this article unless there is another Body Central that I am entirely unaware of. Apologies if I have done something wrong.

2. The first source, an article titled "Movies available on tape in Canberra" from 1983, does not contain SIGCOV of the subject. The second source, a review of The Unquestioning, is a short plot synopsis. The third source is a link to a library catalog page. The fourth source just states that he was nominated for an award, but WP:NACTOR requires winning an award to establish notability under that test.

1. By maintaining a delete position you are opining that the cuttings are not good enough. And I don't understand your point about a scrapbook. How would cutting a newspaper article out of the paper and placing it in a scrapbook make it any less valid?

Criterion 1 of NACTOR requires significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions (emphasis added). His roles might have been significant in each of the films you've cited, but there's no evidence that any of those films are notable under either GNG or NFO. I think the sources you've provided, while reliable, are the equivalent of TV Guide synopses, not reviews by established critics such that the films are notable. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 05:06, 24 May 2023 (UTC) reply
It's not up to the Peter Hehir article to show that other subjects are notable. But anyway: The Sullivans is clearly notable and has won 5 Logies. Fast Talking (three AFI nomination) has multiple reviews such as in the New York Times by Walter Goodman 23 April 1986. Also in Cinema Papers *2, Sun-Herald, The Age. It is also covered in depth in Australian film 1978-1994 : a survey of theatrical features [10]. I Live with Me Dad was reviewed in The Sydney Morning Herald and the Canberra Times, both major Australian newspapers. The Last of the Knucklemen (7 AFI nominations) was reviewed in Cinema Papers, Sun-Herald, Sydney Morning Herald, Adelaide's Advertiser and The Age and is preserved by the The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia where the curator notes [11] "The Last of the Knucklmen received some of the best critical notices of any Tim Burstall film" and they also hold assorted papers relating to the film [12]. duffbeerforme ( talk) 11:49, 24 May 2023 (UTC) reply

The subject has had at least two significant roles in notable projects: The Sullivans (which nobody is disputing) and Silver City, which was nominated for several Australian Film Institute awards, including Best Supporting Actor for the subject.

Redirect to Manilla Road - per QuietHere. I see three keep votes here, but they are all predicated on the existence of a few mentions of the album, particularly in German language sources, that none of them have read. Anyone can google translate those sources, but in any case, having read them, I note these are hardly a ringing endorsement of the album. For instance, the reviewer at metal.de tells us that the album could not get positive reviews, and the reasons were obvious, the sound being muddy, drums too thin, guitars distorted etc. What we have here is a group that is notable, and one of their albums that has coverage because the group are notable. It deserves the mention it gets on Manilla Road, but there is not enough information, nor anything significant about the album sufficient that it should have an article too. Specifically the album does not meet WP:NALBUMS. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 06:51, 22 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Sirfurboy if I've understood what you wrote correctly then it appears you're saying that the review from metal.de is invalid because it is a negative assessment of the album. To be clear, no, that is not a reason for non-notability. Coverage of the subject, regardless of its opinion on said subject, is still coverage. That is the whole point of music criticism. And if that was not what you were trying to say, then it would help if you could restate yourself as to clarify why you are rejecting that and any other sources. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 07:04, 22 May 2023 (UTC) reply
No you have not understood me correctly. Apologies for not being sufficiently clear. I have said that the sources provided show that this album does not meet WP:NALBUMS. Although you would expect some mention about any album by a notable group, these reviews do not demonstrate any reason why the album itself is notable for an article. Specifically these do not meet "multiple, non-trivial", the widest catchall of those guidelines. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 07:09, 22 May 2023 (UTC) reply
It's interesting that you say that because I've had a look at the sources just now and I'm changing my vote to keep based off of them. These are four full reviews and one large section of a book all discussing this album directly. Unless they're all known to be unreliable for some reason -- and I don't see any immediate reason to question any of them -- then this looks like a solid list to me. I wish I'd seen all that earlier when I was searching. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 11:13, 22 May 2023 (UTC) reply
It's interesting. This wasn't an exhaustive list that I provided, but these were the best I could find. There were some reviews in other languages that I am more unfamiliar with (I can read some French). I agree with @ QuietHere's analysis. Schminnte ( talk • contribs) 15:01, 22 May 2023 (UTC) reply
It is indeed interesting, because if the existence of a review of an album, when the album is released, and where it is an album of a notable band, were sufficient to establish notability, then it would be the case that all albums of notable bands would be inherently notable, because all such albums will generate some reviews at that point. Yet WP:NALBUMS says:
An album requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence.
Per WP:SUSTAINED,
Notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time,
so in analysing what amounts to significant coverage for an album that does not inherit notability, the sources must demonstrate this aspect of significance. They must be sustained, and these reviews do not meet that threshold.

However, I am more inclined to consider discussion in a book to be a better indicator of notability than magazine/press reviews. So the book by Gary Hill is important to consider. I don't have access to this book. What I was able to do was view page 52 using Amazon's look inside feature, and also search the book and view the index to show that this page (and possibly some of page 53) are the totality of its coverage of the album. So I read the page, and found that the section is actually talking about the band. It does, however, briefly mention the album, because of what the author sees as Lovecraft inspired elements in it. So a book about Lovecraft inspired music talks about this band and says this album is pertinent. Possibly pertinent... except then I saw that the book is self published. Note that the publisher is Lulu.com, which Wikipedia does not accept as a WP:RS.

So what we are left with is a few ephemeral reviews, some of which actually tell us that the album was not well received, thus explaining why there is not more significant coverage, and a self published work by a Lovecraft fan. This is a clear fail of WP:NALBUMS. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 16:34, 22 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Also from WP:NALBUMS: Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article. Yep. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 16:41, 22 May 2023 (UTC) reply

I didn't appreciate that about the Hill book (though saying that, it is written by a known journalist (wrote for AllMusic) and proofread). However, I don't follow your logic. As @ QuietHere said, just because a source is negative of something, it should not be disgarded. Any significant coverage in independent reliable sources is enough for WP:GNG. NALBUMS states that it is not the baseline, that would be GNG.

I also don't see what you mean by It is indeed interesting, because if the existence of a review of an album, when the album is released, and where it is an album of a notable band, were sufficient to establish notability...: it is not simply the existence of a review. From the sources in the article and those I have provided, there are five reviews in all, not just one? In addition to that, nobody was claiming that there was any inherited notability. Schminnte ( talk • contribs) 15:12, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply
However, I don't follow your logic. Your summary of my position seemed to miss my "thus". thus explaining why there is not more significant coverage. My argument is simple. The paucity of reviews, and lack of sustained coverage is why this fails WP:NALBUMS. You think five is a lot, but it is not. It would be more telling if these five were across a long period, and not just reviews of a new album by a notable band. That would go some way to demonstrating that the coverage is sustained, and you might be tempted to think that the article dates perhaps show this. But take a closer look of these sources. For instance, this one [13] has a date of 2010, allegedly 9 years after release. But that is clearly not the copy date, because the review begins with Die eindrucksvolle und verzaubernde Rückkehr einer der stilprägendsten Bands metallischer Epik. - That is talking about the return of this influential band. It strongly implies it was written when the album was new, otherwise the phrasing makes no sense. This one is also clearly written in 2001 [14], speaking about how good 2001 is (in the sense of currently is). Allmusic and metal.de are undated but again appear to be contemporary to the release. For instance metal.de has “Atlantis Rising” ist ein ordentliches Comebackalbum, das vor allem Zeit braucht, um sich richtig zu entfalten. which is “Atlantis Rising” is a decent comeback album that needs time to really unfold/develop. (enfalten being the idea of development over time, the gradual revealing of something). So that was clearly written when it was new too. What about the last one? [15]. That is marked as 2008, but again, reading it, I suspect strongly it was written closer to the original release. These are music site reviews (some of them niche) about a new album by a notable band. They do not demonstrate independent notability, and indeed they make clear that the reviews are given because this is a comeback album of a notable band. They do not demonstrate the coverage is sustained.

My point about inherited notability, once again, is this: all albums of notable bands will garner some reviews (not just one review, but a few) on release of the album, because the band is notable, but WP:NALBUMS is clear that notability of the album is not inherited, and that to be a notable album, there must be more than the ephemeral coverage that all such albums receive on release. It is necessary to show that the notability is sustained over a period, beyond the initial release.

As to the self published book: well being self published, whoever wrote it, no one has reviewed it, fact checked it nor, as far as we know, edited it. It cannot be used as a reference nor as a demonstration of notability. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 17:22, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Delete per nom. Searches actually did bring up some sources talking about the subject of "fictional holidays", but these all came in the form of the typical low quality "Top Ten Best X!" lists that do little to actually discuss the topic in any meaningful way or demonstrate notability. Even if proper sources did exist that could allow the creation of a prose article on the topic of Fictional holidays, this almost entirely unsourced list of largely non-notable trivia would not be useful for the development of that.

This is a very short article consisting only of trivia (and is tagged as such since 2016); plus, i believe the topic is much better handled at the parent article's "legacy" section.

Keep The article as it is is pretty crap, but the subject is highly notable. No doubt this was deliberately split off from the main article - such split-offs shouldn't then be picked off by deletionists. Johnbod ( talk) 22:02, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply
But here is what I can’t understand: the parent article’s legacy section is much larger and encyclopedic, while this article is just a stub with some bullet points, and has been like this since more than 5 years ago. Would it not be easier if we just enrich the parent article instead?

Plus, the fact that, in all of this time, nobody has made any effort to improve the article, means that it’s just not worth it. Handmeanotherbagofthemchips ( talk) 09:37, 24 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Keep. If the BBC covers an event, it's probably notable. 16 years after the disaster, The Economic Times mentioned it in a list of railway incidents in which people were killed. The investigation report mentioned two reasons for the disaster: the fact that the manned crossing barriers were open to road traffic and not interlocked to protecting rail signals; and that the train was dispatched in violation of standing instructions. I think railway workers and managers throughout India were very careful not to allow those things to happen again.

Comment this is quite a difficult one and I'm undecided; the Economic Times source is a passing reference of no informational value. The BBC report states quite openly "Accidents occur frequently on India's vast state-run rail network", which is not a great indicator that the BBC regarded this accident as particularly unusual or notable. The remaining reference is the primary accident report itself. I really hate the very idea of deciding that an accident that cost so many lives isn't "notable", but it's unfortunately true that India's rail system, combined with a very large population, has a very high casualty-rate (two per hour). [22]. It's certainly not fair to ask Thebiguglyalien to take more care; the sourcing genuinely isn't great. Elemimele ( talk) 11:04, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Since people are asserting GNG without evaluating the sources:

Source	Independent?	Significant coverage?	Count source toward GNG?
Source assessment table: prepared by User:Thebiguglyalien
Commissioner of Railway Safety	~ Not sure whether to mark a government report as independent in this case	Routine WP:PRIMARY source	✘ No
BBC		Primary news source, only routine coverage	✘ No
The Economic Times		Passing mention	✘ No
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{ source assess table}}.

Sources can't be patchworked together to create significant coverage where it didn't previously exist in any individual source. Either a source provides SIGCOV or it doesn't, and none of these do.

You can always put together a reception section or even a full article on a subpage and then hit someone up to see if it's enough if you're not sure.
