Fails WP:BIO, WP:SIGCOV. The references are absolutely atrocious. scope_creep Talk 22:32, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and help improve. I tend to disagree with the above rather harsh expression of the sources. The article has been created during the Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Women in Environmental Justice today. None of us landed on our feet with perfect knowledge and sourcing when we started. This is the user's first time ever trying to create a Wikipedia article. It would be more helpful to Wikipedia if editors would help clean this up a little. — Maile ( talk) 23:33, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
It would helpful to Wikipedia if was deleted. Where it is created isn't relevant. It hasn't a secondary for a WP:BLP, never mind a full WP:PRIMARY source, like for example a long interview. Instead it is passing mentions and profiles. It is junk. WP:BLP states: "Wikipedia must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources". WP:BIO defines three criteria for notability. This article fails all of them. It is a very poor choice for a keep !vote due to a edit-a-thon scope_creep Talk 23:51, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
That argument you have made isn't a criteria for evaluation of notability. Instead it seems to be an appeal to emotion as opposed the corect criteria, which is a rational examination of it quality and construction and how it relates to notabilty policy. That is in mainspace article, so it will evaluated as a mainspace article. I'll will have a look at the sources. scope_creep Talk 22:59, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep as the sources demonstrate notability, though some more would be great. The article needs expansion but the sources about her show that she passes GNG. DaniloDaysOfOurLives ( talk) 00:28, 12 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: Could she be a section of an "EcoLatinos" article, as her organisation seems more notable ? DaniloDaysOfOurLives ( talk) 00:28, 12 October 2023 (UTC)7 reply
  • Comment Its states in WP:BLP that "Wikipedia must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources". Lets look at the sources:
Ref 1 [1] This is a 6 line profile in a blog. It is not significant source. It is a WP:SPS non-rs source.
Ref 2 [2] This is a single word mention. It is not significant source.
Ref 3 [3] This a 4-line profile. Its another WP:SPS source. It is not significant.
Ref 4 [4] This doesn't mention her at all.
Ref 5 [5] This is PR, and while it is covering here organisation, it is PR. It is written as a PR piece. It is plain as day.

There is not a single WP:SECONDARY source in this list. A WP:BEFORE was done and there was no signifcant coverage there either. scope_creep Talk 06:30, 12 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: I also conducted a search and found no articles that establish notability; specifically, while Stemmle is mentioned in several sources, there is nothing that contains significant coverage about the subject. I agree with Scope_creep's source review after reviewing the sources myself. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 02:31, 13 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Fails WP:BASIC. Sadly there just't isn't enough sourcing on the subject to pass GNG. I was able to locate two newspaper articles where she was mentioned in passing and a third where she was interviewed briefly as the Latino liaison for Prince George's County State Attorney's Office to comment on a new Maryland bill on immigration enforcement in 2003. None of the articles were about her, and wouldn't constitute "in-depth coverage". The source analysis above is also persuasive. 4meter4 ( talk) 15:40, 13 October 2023 (UTC) reply

A WP:BEFORE search turned up the usual unreliable sources: social media, streaming/purchase services, forums/Reddit, and plenty of amateur music sites—but I was unable to find significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources.

  • Delete - Note that the band was apparently named after a children's book, which makes their goofy name even tougher to search for. I managed to find some evidence that they have a cult following and some respect among other math rock geeks: [6], [7], [8], and I found one reliable album review: [9]. So it's not as dire as the previous commenters imply, but despite a lengthy career I think their media notice is too spotty and inconsistent for the WP:SIGCOV standard, and there's not much reliable from which to build an encyclopedic article.

1. I can only find one reliable source to establish the notability of the subject of this article, the New York Observer article, plus the mention in a Gawker article about Eric Schmidt. 2. I can find nothing else about the subject that suggests notability. 3. This article was repeatedly edited by the redlinked editors User:CRBohner, User:Kbohner, User:Bohnerkate, User:Katebohner, and User:Catherinebohner, as well as IP editors whose editing overlapped with these editors. There appears to be a significant undisclosed conflict in this article. Fiachra10003 ( talk) 21:23, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply

    Leaning keep. I've taken a quick cleanup pass. It still needs work but it's less egregiously promotional now. — siro χ o 00:05, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    I met Kate Bohner in 2001 in NYC, while working at a VC firm on Park Ave. We discussed several business deals, including Living Independently, considered co-authoring a book, and then stayed in touch electronically for several years, until she moved to California. Nothing in her Wikipedia page is inconsistent with my experience and knowledge of her accomplishments and endeavors. There are some personal details that some consider notable which are properly omitted from the Wikipedia page, since they might not be verificable or important. But she is a smart, accomplished person who should have remained at CNBC, but was lured into a startup and endeavor with E-Trade, that failed. She worked for many years as an investor and manager to make Living Independently, a tech startup, successful and to insure its acquisition. The entry seems to me to be sufficiently cleaned up to remain as is. JHC 10-6-23 CEO-VC-Retired ( talk) 01:07, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Mildly pro-keep. I think she likely meets the Wikipedia notability test as a journalist who has published some pieces in a bunch of places. Ghostwriting the Trump book is significant. In that vein, the article could cite this Wayback version of an article that's cited in the Trump book's Wikipedia page. On the other hand, aside from her journalism, I think she's not Wikipedia-notable. She has gotten intermittent press through the years but not for things I think are notable - ex-wife of Michael Lewis, widely reported ex-girlfriend of Eric Schmidt, apparent "founder / CEO" since 2015 of a small PR / reputation management firm called Bohner Bespoke that is reportedly based in south Florida or Wilmington or Philadelphia or NYC. See, e.g., this 2018 article placing it in Wilmington, with the other three locations stated on her LinkedIn page, its LinkedIn page, and its website (not reliable sources, of course). Best line on her seems to be from this 1997 Marjorie Williams piece on Michael Lewis in Vanity Fair: "Even her friends describe her as a sort of Manhattan butterfly: self-absorbed, something of an exhibitionist, 'a character out of a Jay Mclnerney novel,' as one puts it." That article quotes a bit of her "journalism" for Harpers Bazaar, about wearing see-through fashions at fancy parties, which suggests she is not exactly Martha Gellhorn. Still, I think her journalist roles probably make the notability cut. Sullidav ( talk) 05:31, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • She is mentioned and quoted at length in this 1996 Vanity Fair article about her ex-husband Michael Lewis. This, plus the fact that in 1997 she co-wrote a book with Donald Trump, renders her notable, in my opinion, as an influence on two very notable figures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkPritchard ( talk • contribs) 15:41, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV and criteria 3 of WP:NAUTHOR. There is significant coverage in searching newspapers.com. A sampling of articles where she is the primary topic include the following:
  • R. Kevin Dietrich (April 12, 2002). "'Money is power,' expert tells women". The State. p. 54, D1, D3.
  • "Leaving TV For Writing Job On Web". New York Daily News. September 1, 1999. p. 32.
Additionally there are numerous reviews of Trump: The Art of the Comeback in major publications and it was on The New York Times Best Seller list so she clearly passes NAUTHOR criteria 3. See these sources for example:

  • Delete - Flyers/Penguins & Rangers/Islanders, it's not. GoodDay ( talk) 16:59, 8 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - Rivalries are made in the playoffs, and the Islanders and Penguins have had several such tumultuous episodes over nearly every decade they have existed. The regular season brawl in 2011 was a natural progression of this rivalry and was already considered notable enough to get its own article. I could even argue that the Isles-Penguins rivalry, on average over the course of their entire respective histories, is a more relevant one than even Isles-Flyers, which apart from one series in 2020 has cooled off so much over the past 3 decades to the point where I'm not even sure it's a rivalry anymore. I will work to provide more sources for this article, but this article was made to mirror several other rivalry articles in terms of attribution and general article construction, so if this article is a candidate for deletion, then there are likely at least 10 other rivalry pages that should be considered for deletion as well. If deletion is the route you choose to take, then it should be done in tandem with all those other pages. StaticAnnouncement ( talk) 18:12, 8 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    So first off WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Also The Isles–Flyers rivalry was questioned at first, but there were enough newspaper clippings and notability from the 70s and early 80s to justify the article's existence. Feel free to add others to the AfD train. Conyo14 ( talk) 19:27, 9 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    We don't create faux "rivalry" articles just because there are articles on certainly highly notable sports rivalries (heck, there are books about Red Sox-Yankees, or Celtics-Lakers, or Celtic-Rangers). If you believe there are other "rivalry" pages that don't pass notability muster, feel free to nominate them for deletion as well. Ravenswing 23:10, 9 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    It is disingenuous to compare NYI-Pit to NYI-Phi. The Islanders and Flyers have been division rivals pretty much the entirety of the Islanders existence (maybe the entirety but I didn't check), including years when both teams had legitimate Stanley Cup aspirations. That is not the case for the Islanders and Penguins. The Islanders and Flyers played in a Stanley Cup final against each other - one that was momentous for both teams (Islanders first of a dynasty, finally getting over the hump, Flyers not winning it all despite a record setting season). The Islanders and Penguins never played a series that important. Plus the proximity of New York and Philly (perhaps combined with some rubbing off of the animosity between the Rangers and Flyers) mean that the New York press (and maybe Philly too) pays particular attention to matchups between teams in the two cities. A key phrase in your post is "I'm not even sure it's a rivalry anymore (emphasis added)." Notability is not temporary. If you are interested in the Islanders-Penguins rivalry, to the extent there is one, you may want to try writing an article about the 1975 playoff matchup, which did get a lot of attention back when it was the only 3-0 comeback and you may be able to find enough sources to warrant an article about it. Rlendog ( talk) 20:05, 11 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: The article creator hasn't presented so much as a sliver of evidence that this purported "rivalry" has engendered the "significant coverage" to the subject that WP:SIGCOV requires. The bar for sports rivalries is very high; this does not meet it. I also oppose a redirect; I just don't think this is a likely search term. Ravenswing 23:08, 9 October 2023 (UTC) reply

An article on a percussionist. The given references are mainly press releases and passing mentions, with the exception of a Meinl profile page, which is connected so cannot serve as a reliable 3rd party source. The subject has performed with several groups (on one of which the article creator previously created an article which was rejected at AfC); there is also a Trevor Babajack Steger article may have some claim to notability due to a UK Blues Acoustic Act of the Year award, but I am not seeing evidence that the present article meets any of the WP:MUSICBIO notability criteria. AllyD ( talk) 12:11, 29 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Unsure why Meinl artist page cannot be considered a reliable source - they are one of the top percussion manufacturers in the world, and if they endorse an artist this should make them a person or interest.

  • When the knowledge panel is generated from Wikipedia, it would be circular to suggest that it can demonstrate the subject's notability for Wikipedia.

A very thinly-sourced biography of a chef who may or may not have invented, or documented, the modern croissant. The main source given for the claim is that a bookshop website in North Carolina describes his 1915 recipe book (which they are selling for $1500) as containing the first published croissant recipe. Other sources consider the modern croissant to date from 1906.

References to Goy's recipe book do appear in the prose of a few modern cookbooks, but without much detail about the man, or giving much weight to the idea that he definitely invented the modern croissant.

Goy may merit a mention in context in the croissant article, but it doesn't look like he meets the known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique of WP:AUTHOR, or the depth of coverage of WP:BASIC. Belbury ( talk) 15:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Maida of Aukh

Maida of Aukh (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I'm nominating not only Maida of Aukh, but also Chakhig, Khour I, Khasi I, Khasi II, Surakat, Battle of Gebak-Ghala, Yanbek, Battle of Arm-Kurt. I will be showing how these articles are either WP:HOAX or lacking completely WP:RS. Forgery can be also found. Here we go...

Sources in Maida of Aukh:

  • Тесаев 2020a, p. 32: the author here is actually Yavuz Akhmadov. Despite being a dr. of historical sciences who without citing a primary source, makes following claim about the existence of Maida:

    "According to folk legends, the Chechens' struggle against the invaders was led by military leaders Makhtsur, Idig, Aldam and others. Chechens of the Aukh society in old Arabic-language chronicles [which chronicles??? - WikiEditor1234567123] name the names of military leaders - Taimasha, Yanbek and Mada. Moreover, in addition to partisan actions, they also fought major battles with the Horde in the Aukh gorges, after one of which the Horde forever forgot the road to Aukh.

  • Адилсултанов 1993: not a reliable historian or even a historian at all. Can't find information about him whatsoever. Google search results show only this blog post "Чеченцы-аккинцы (ауховцы) и их гражданские формирования" (which the article is using as a source).
  • Ангуни 2013: not a reliable historian or even a historian at all.
  • Хизриев 1980 & Хизриев 1980: unable to find this source online but the author is a candidate of historical sciences and a professor. Some statements in his work, despite his status, are unsourced and clearly fringe. [a] Though we don't know much about the region "Aukhar/Avakhar" mentioned in Persian chronicles, we know that Maida isn't mentioned there. [b] Not to mention that the localization of "Aukhar/Avakhar" is still a matter of a debate, with one of the other major versions being that it is Avaria, Dagestan, i. e. portraying "Aukhar/Avakhar" people as Aukhs is violation of WP:NPOV. So in short, Khizriev made up the battles between the Avakhar people under Maidan and Gazikumukh Shamkhalate against the Timurids ( Battle of Gebak-Ghala and Battle of Arm-Kurt).

Sources in Chakhig:

  • Муртазалиев: not a reliable historian or even a historian at all.
  • Ангуни: go back to the section "Sources in Maida of Aukh" to see why it's unreliable.
  • Сулейманов 1978: not a reliable historian or even a historian at all, however, he's simply mentioning folklore and not portraying it as historical facts.
  • Ахмадов 2001: unverifiable source. Also go back to the "Sources in Maida of Aukh" to see why source is probably unreliable in this matter.
  • Хизриев: source doesn't even mention Chakhig - forgery. Also go back to the "Sources in Maida of Aukh" to see why source is probably unreliable in this matter.

Sources in Khour I:

  • As I have mentioned, Anguni, Murtazaliev and Suleymanov as well as Айдемиров are not historians and aren't WP:RS even if they do mention such figure.
  • Хизриев: doesn't mention Khour I, i. e. forgery. Also see about him above.
  • Иванов: doesn't mention Khour I, i. e. forgery.
  • Тесаев 2020: not a reliable historian (doesn't have any candidate or dr. titles either), rather a hoaxer/mystifer, making crazy theories. The name of the book is "Historical figures of Chechnya" but has folkloric figures such as Khour attributed to the Alan king Khusy while folkloric figure Turpal Nakhcho shown as a historical.

Having now shown the main sources (Akhmadov, Tesaev, Murtazaliev, Anguni and others) in usage for the articles, I'm not going to explain each time why they're unreliable. Here I'm going to show some new ones:

Sources in Khasi I:

  • Кузнецов 1971 &: doesn't mention Khasi I, i. e. forgery.

Sources in Surakat:

  • Салгириев, А.М (2019). "Летопись об исходе чеченцев из Нахчувана (перевод и комментарии)". Таллам. 2: 33–35: not a reliable historian whatsoever nor could I find this source.

For Battle of Gebak-Ghala, Yanbek, Battle of Arm-Kurt:

  • Article is using as Khizriev as source again but he makes up battles between Avakhar and Golden Horde when we have little to no information whatsoever about Avakhar, see "Sources in Maida of Aukh", I explained it there. Other sources in the article are the ones mentioned above i. e. unreliable.

Notes
  1. ^ For instance, recently I rewrote an article Timurid invasion of Simsim which was almost completely, if not completely, based on folklore and incorrect information. Here Alaexis noticed made up battle between Simsim and Timurids near modern day Grozny which in reality wasn't mentioned in primary sources ( Zafarnama by Nizam al-Din Shami and the Zafarnama by Sharaf ad-Din Ali Yazdi) and I quickly removed it.
  2. ^ See Zafar-Namē by Shami and Zafar-Namē by Yazdi.
Thanks for making a very detailed case for deleting these articles. It's always a challenge to identify and deal with pseudo-history of this sort on Wikipedia.
I saw some of the issues myself but assumed that in spite of some embellishments and exaggerations, the personalities and events existed and had sources that covered them. Now I see that it's either entirely unsourced or uses unreliable sources. I support the deletion. Alaexis ¿question? 18:08, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
One of the issues here is that non-Russian speaking users are usually the ones that get deceived the most in these type of articles that use Russian sources as they're unable to verify information unfortunately. WikiEditor1234567123 ( talk) 18:15, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • I haven't done a full dive into all the sources presented by the nom here, but what I did look into seems very concerning. The source I did read in full – via Google translate – was the undated Хизриев source. This source mentions the names of no individuals who faought against the Timurids except for Gayur Khan and his son Mohammed. It is frequently cited to support claims of individual names or their descent, and as such it has clearly been misrepresented (termed "forgery" by the nom). This undated source appears to have been modified from the original with editorial insertions, ethnic POV, and non-academic language (mentioned by commenters at the site it's been posted on; not just machine translation artifacts).
    I suspect that the individuals whose articles are nominated here are all legendary (see Khour II#Background and Historical references), and people have taken it upon themselves to attempt to factualise them using tangentially related published material, in some ways clearly dishonestly.
    No further time right now to do a fuller investigation, but based on the thorough nom and my hour looking into it and the results of that, it seems likely these articles all fail verification in toto. I hope to circle back later, but in case I forget, dropping a delete now with thanks to the nom. Folly Mox ( talk) 20:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    Having now spent several more hours digging into a single source ( Иванов 1914), I'm considering that some of the details of Khasi I are the result of incorrect synthesis based on linguistic similarity. There was a person associated with Asud / Alania named in the 元史 who submitted to Ögodei and whose son Atachi went on to serve the Mongols.
    This person's name is incorrectly transcribed in the article's source as *杭忍思; it is given in the 新元史 and modern punctuated 元史 as 杭忽思 (Hang-hu-si, *Khanghus?) and the 四庫全書元史 as 哈喝斯 (Ha-he-si, *Khasi?). Apparently his name is also written 昂和思 (Ang-he-si, *Anghosi?). In the article Khasi I, the name is called "Khasy Khan" and "Khusy Khan". They are never referred to as a "khan" in the Chinese sources, and apart from their eldest son Atachi and second son 按法普 (An-fa-pu), no other children are mentioned (e.g. Khour I, one of the questionable articles here).
    The Khasi I article goes on to state that Chechen folklore has Khasi being executed by the Mongols for his son Khour's disobedience, while the Mongols claim that he died during a campaign. The Chinese sources have him dying in combat, after which his wife 外麻思 (Wai-ma-si) successfully defends his city on behalf of the Mongols.
    I don't know enough about Middle Chinese phonology (much less Middle Mongolian phonology / Circassian / whatever all we're dealing with here) to speculate as to the identification of someone named "Khasi" with someone named 杭忽思 / 昂和思 / 哈喝斯. But I do think that if his son led a rebellion against the Mongols (as is claimed in Khasi I, Khour I, Mongol invasions of Durdzuketi), the Chinese sources on the individual would have mentioned it somehow.
    Also noting that Khour II names him as Gayur Khan, the individual in the sketchy source I looked at the other day. Folly Mox ( talk) 23:41, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    I will say that this ties in with my hypothesis above about attempted factualisation of legendary figures using tangentially related published sources. I imagine the whole first bit of this Sado-Orsoy dynasty / clan, up through Khasi II, may be unverifiable except by recourse to folklore studies. If we retain the information, it might be best framed as a notable legend. Folly Mox ( talk) 00:03, 8 October 2023 (UTC) Struck in light of nom's reply below 07:35, 8 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    The thing is that Sado-Orsoy clan or teip, as they're called in Chechnya and Ingushetia, never had such big influence and never ruled over Alania or Durdzuketi (note, the sources never mention that fictious Khasi ruled over Durdzuketi, forgery again). These are simply mystifications that are spread by unreliable sources to magnify their own history and make it seem more ancient. This is seen by the fact that in Khour II there are tries to connect the real figure Gayur Khan with Sadoy-Orsoy, backed up again with a unreliable source. [a] Khasi articles and others can't even be preserved as a notable legends because they're not notable legends in Vaknakh folklore at all. Notable legends would be the likes of Turpal Nakhcho (legendary ancestor of Chechens), Galga (legendary ancestor of Ingush), Ga (legendary ancestor of Ingush), Kartskhal (legendary founder of Nazran), Aldaman Gheza and etc that were recorded all over Chechnya and Ingushetia.

Notes
  1. ^ Same Murtazaliev (Муртазалиев, В. К вопросу об истории государства и права чеченцев) source used here that I mentioned above: "His ancestry and genealogy were studied by the Sadoy clan historian Murtazaliev who did fieldwork in Chechnya during 1991–1999 by interviewing several Sadoy clan elders." Considering he's from Sadoy clan himself, obviously not a WP:NPOV source. Interviewing Sadly clan elders about a figure on whom we don't know much and who was from 14th century isn't a good source to learn from but it's fine for Murtazaliev.

The result was no consensus‎. While there is precedent for BLP articles to be deleted upon a "no consensus" result, that applies when the material in the BLP presents the subject inaccurately. There has been no real argument here, even from the nominator, that anything in this article is not accurate. Given that, a "no consensus" result defaults as normal to retaining the article.

I am the subject of this article.

I am suffering with PTSD, depression and anxiety. This article re-traumatises me constantly, which is a threat to my life.

Over 3 years ago I was a Major General in the British Army and therefore notable. But now I am a part time, non-notable private person with very serious mental health issues arising from the events you record. Given the time elapsed and the very serious impact on my health I would like this article to be deleted, for me to be forgotten on Wikipedia, and allowed to try and rebuild my life in some form. The suffering I am living with is beyond any justification or negligible public interest given the time elapsed. Individuals matter, as does time. The notable/public interest calculus can't be locked to a single event at a single moment in time, leaving those of us impacted struggling to live what is left of our lives. By any measure that must be wrong.

Deletion is what I need to live, just as several leading newspapers have acknowledged and acted on.

I won't be monitoring this so please don't reply here. I'm sure you'll find a way to e-mail if you need to. By all means consider "Disambiguate", "Redirect", "Merge", or "Draftify" - I have no idea what they are.

Finally, at the very least the finding was that "on the balance of probability" I lied to the Army. Th truth is I didn't but that makes no difference anymore. My life is fast fading.

Please help. This is beyond serious for me now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilf1642 ( talk • contribs) 11:48, 5 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Strong keep - it has long been established that subjects of articles do not get to dictate to Wikipedia whether or not they have an article. He admits that he meets the notability threshold. That he has made a poor decision that has impacted on his life is not our concern. We only need to be concerned that BLP is adhered to, which it appears to be. Mjroots ( talk) 08:15, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    That may be true, but what is the notability argument here? per WP:SOLDIER there are no longer presumed notability guidelines for soldiers, so for this article to be kept we would need significant coverage in independent reliable and secondary sources. I am not convinced there is secondary sourcing and note that articles about a particular event, published in a newspaper, would be primary sources. I have not researched this properly yet, so not making a !vote, but I think any keep !vote needs to be based on the notability and not just a rejection of the subject's appeal for anonymity.

    No opinion on this particular case yet, but CBEs are often thought to pass point 1 of WP:ANYBIO. Phil Bridger ( talk) 08:40, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ Sirfurboy: The London Gazette is a secondary source, as are The Telegraph and other sources used in the article. As Phil Bridger says, the CBE brings this person over the notability threshold. Mjroots ( talk) 08:54, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    No these are WP:PRIMARY. Please see especially note d on that page. As for Phil Bridger's point, it is a good one, and he couches it appropriately: "often thought", but please also read WP:ANYBIO which says, inter alia:

    People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included.

    There is no automatic presumption of notability for a CBE. However, the existence of a CBE is likely to point to significant secondary sources from which an article could be written. Likely but not guaranteed. It can tell you where to look, but we are still where we were. If there is a notable subject here, you need multiple significant mentions in reliable secondary sources, independent of the subject. Those are what the article would be built from. None are in the article to date. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 09:13, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    Could you possibly expound on why you think the telegram reporting is a primary source? It doesn't seem to qualify under your linked policy page, and nothing in note D seems to apply to it either. - 50.234.188.27 ( talk) 13:58, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    Sure. The source in question is actually called the Telegraph, A British national newspaper. The article is here [15]. Note the date: 7 Jan 2021. It is contemporary reporting of an event. Now in note d of WP:PRIMARY that I directed to, we read:

    "A primary source is a first-hand account of an event. Primary sources may include newspaper articles, letters, diaries, interviews, laws, reports of government commissions, and many other types of documents."

    That is what we are reading here. It is a primary source. See also WP:PRIMARYNEWS:

    "most news stories are considered primary sources"

    Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 15:24, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    I appreciate the Telegram/Telegraph correction, that was an autocomplete 'helpful contribution'. But I have to say I don't think I share your view. Looking in to the actual policy page its based on, Lets look through note D together. The one that seems most likely to apply is investigative reports. This is not investigative reporting. Its not based on the first hand accounts of the reporter. That this is the correct reading is further supported by the supplemental definitions they give in that note on WP:NOR:
    The University of Nevada, Reno Libraries define primary sources as providing "an inside view of a particular event". They offer as examples: original documents, such as autobiographies, diaries, e-mail, interviews, letters, minutes, news film footage, official records, photographs, raw research data, and speeches; creative works, such as art, drama, films, music, novels, and poetry; and relics or artifacts, such as buildings, clothing, DNA, furniture, jewelry, and pottery.
    This was not an inside view by a participant or anyone involved.
    The University of California, Berkeley Libraries offers this definition: "Primary sources were either created during the time period being studied or were created at a later date by a participant in the events being studied (as in the case of memoirs). They reflect the individual viewpoint of a participant or observer. Primary sources enable the researcher to get as close as possible to what actually happened during an historical event or time period".
    Nobody who wrote these articles is a participant in the events being studied.
    Duke University Libraries offers this definition: "A primary source is a first-hand account of an event. Primary sources may include newspaper articles, letters, diaries, interviews, laws, reports of government commissions, and many other types of documents."
    Again, none of these articles seem to be first-hand accounts.
    I appreciate that you're working from good faith here and I'm not implying otherwise. But reading our policies here I don't believe that the position the Telegraph article is a primary source holds up to any scrutiny. - 50.234.188.27 ( talk) 13:44, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply

He did something he knew he wasn't suppose to, and doesn't want people to know he got caught doing it. That is not a valid reason to delete an article. The awards he's won, the rank he had, and the coverage of him all add to his notability. The news coverage mentions how rare it is for someone of his rank to be forced out.

  • Delete, as an exception because it's the right thing to do. The subject is not a public figure and, although major generals are usually notable, this is not a famous WWII-era commander who commanded vast numbers of troops in famous battles but a career officer who attracted little coverage until one incident at the end of his career. It does not seem in keeping with our goals that a 30-year career is summarised with a list of positions and awards (which would be roughly the same for any contemporary army officer following a similar career path) and then an almost throwaway line about a scandal. Who among us would want our careers summarised that way if we became notable? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:23, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per WP:N. Sorry, but the chap's been an O/C Scots Guards, Brigade Commander and Major-General, OBE and CBE. He passes WP:ANYBIO #1 by mileage.If he's not notable, then very few soldiers would be. And while I'm sympathetic to anyone with PTSD, I suspect that if we lost the last line of the article, he would be in less discomfort. Talking of BLP1E, that's completely irrelevant: his notability rests on his achieving high rank in a national army and receiving some of the most important recognition awards available. If anyone thinks that his notability rests on his having gone over the side at one point in that career, then... that's odd, to say the least. Serial 12:02, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    Since we're doing this, I'd reaffirm my vote also. Note only did he always pass ANYBIO in spades already, but further evidence of the importance of the positions he held has since been added. It's good to see that confirmed by even delete voters, who literally recognise that this is a usual article. BLP1E clearly does not apply; notability is soundly established—even the subject himself acknowledges that, and NOTTEMPORARY applies, he has held several positions of trust and high rank (he was an ensign at the 1997 Trooping of the colour, for Pete's sake—that's out of hundreds who could have been). Finally, no one has established how removing a well-sourced article—a potential good article in other circumstances—actively helps maintain and improve the encyclopedia, per IAR. People are throwing IAR around like it is a get-out-of-jail-free card, but ay is, if one reads it, very short and very simple: If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it. Note, the sole criterion against which it should be used: maintenance and improvement of the encyclopaedia, not white-washing biographies. By the way, I assume that means there must be such a thing as "IAR restore", too, although I've never heard of that either. I suppose at least restoring policy-abiding guidelines to project space could be argued to be an improvement to the encyclopedia. But if we allow article subjects to dictate our content, then we are on a slippery slope; the thin end of the wedge; and through the looking glass considering what we are hear for. It's ironic, but the OP, having thrown their hand grenade in and made it clear they are "not monitoring" the aftermath, might even be pleasantly surprised. His military honours and career are fully contextualised, with few negative aspects noted—indeed, there were none to note!—a brave and intelligent man need not hide; the one thing he might still disapprove of has been reduced to its relevant weight with a number of views present which are supportive of his position (again, as the OP notes in his nom). As Prince George might've said, "I mean, boil my brains, it’s only a dictionary. No-one’s asked us to eat ten raw pigs for breakfast. Good Lord, I mean, we’re British, aren’t we?"Apologies, of course I know we are not!  :) This, comrades, is an article with which both the project and the subject can be satisfied.

  • Delete The arguments above about the number of sources are focused on the wrong thing, in my opinion. His notability hinges entirely on being forced to resign based on this accusation. This is the heart of WP:BLP1E, there is no notability outside of the conviction for this alleged relationship. That's not enough to sustain & expand an article on a living person.

We have a highly decorated soldier from an elite unit with a long career that was the first in over a decade to be forced out for whatever reason. We take out the emotional component of the situation, we could still build a pretty decent article based on what's available. This isn't a chef in a canteen on some far-off island, he was the head of a major UK unit for at least a decade or more. We've build articles with less on the oldest living WW2 veteran for example. Some sources seem to suggest he retired, others say he was forced out; more than likely the was asked to leave or be fired. Whatever the reason, the military career alone is enough upon which to build an article; he was in an elite military unit, and was well publicized when the received the awards and was even used on social media posts by the unit before the "incident".

    Reaffirm my delete. Subsequent to my vote, the article has been expanded with reasonably sourced material (and there are some discussions of Bell's LinkedIn profile vs article.) However, my argument still applies. The material (now) in the article is essentially a bio, together with material that Bell said when interviewed in a book/documentary/whatever, not about himself but about the war. So while he does likely pass our notability bar and so we *can* have an artilce about him, I still find his notability is marginal, and so we can and should afford the courtesy of a delete if he as the subject wishes.

  • Delete and salt Aside from the obvious reason to accede to his request, I'm not sure he is really notable actually. It isn't clear he commanded on operations at brigade or battalion level, and that wouldn't even guarantee notability. The CBE certainly doesn't make him notable, most reasonably successful COs get an OBE, same for CBE for brigadiers. For me, he's a case of BLP1E, and we should tread lightly for BLPs.

    I would be in favour of deletion of any non-notable figure, but that's not what I am talking about. As it happens their notability is not related to the embarrassing bits they keep trying to delete. I note that the subject here confesses that "I was a Major General in the British Army and therefore notable" but believes that they are no longer notable. This is a misconception; notability is not temporary. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:00, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • KEEP - per Mjroots, DreamFocus, Serial and... every BLP we have that contains information that that subject doesn't like and would want removed from that article. This is an encyclopaedia, not Famdom. We document notable, supported facts and events and we don't tailor our articles to help subjects avoid embarrassment. If we started doing that, it would never end. We would be regularly gutting not only BLPs, but bio's in general, of any information the subject, or their families, or their friends, or their agents, or their fanclubs, or anyone else ftm, wants removed because they feel it may paint the subject in a negative light.

  • Delete it's acceptable to delete an article about a relatively unknown, non-public figure at the request of the subject ( WP:BIODEL). Major generals fall into this category - they do not hold public office and typically have a very low public profile, unless maybe if they play a substantial role in a major war. The article is largely based on official announcements, press releases and the like, which indicates that coverage of the subject is very limited. The only exception is one minor news story which has zero long term significance. Hut 8.5 08:34, 8 October 2023 (UTC) reply

    Wow, on LinkedIn, General Bell looks like he’s doing much better than he claims above. I wonder if someone was spoofing his identity when they asked this article be deleted. Or, perhaps he’s putting on a brave face on LinkedIn and really suffering. Or, maybe he’s just playing us to get rid of that embarrassing incident.
    Perhaps we keep the article for now and tell the nominator to use the VRT system to confirm their identity and explain their request. Is that the appropriate procedure to follow?

    Of course he wants to get rid of this "embarrassing incident". As seen on the Linkdin page, he is pursuring a very lucrative, but also very public career in consulting. Before anyone hires him, they're likely to look up his WP page first (anybody who's anybody has one these days, and it's the goto source to check people out). In short, this page is costing him money, (which can be very "distressing" indeed). Agree with confirming if the OP is really him or not, (as noted above), and/or was this AfD written by an agent/lawyer/PR firm on his behalf? This Linkdin page is a very strong reason for him to seek deletion here, but considering the impressive, and quite notable career laid out on that profile, it is also a pretty strong reason to keep this page. - wolf 03:07, 10 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep. First, I want to link to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Indira Raman, which resulted in a "do the right thing" consensus to delete, just days ago, and which deals with somewhat similar circumstances. In my opinion, we should simply delete the "subsequent career" section of the page (the part about the relationship thing), in its entirety, on WP:BLP grounds. The rest of the page seems OK to me, and here we have someone who unambiguously meets WP:GNG. I say this because I believe that we should set limits on what page subjects can dictate to us about content. We should make absolutely sure that the page is BLP-compliant, and remove material that may be trivial if it doesn't reflect well. But when someone definitely meets BLP, to the point of being at least slightly outside the limits of WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE, we should still report encyclopedic and BLP-compliant information about that person, as opposed to deletion as a form of virtue signaling. By they way, that other AfD I linked to concerned someone who clearly passed WP:PROF, but who actually failed GNG. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 19:12, 11 October 2023 (UTC) reply

      16, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
      There's no need to shout. I felt that it was in "lime" (sic) with BLP to reduce the amount of weight given to the incident, by greatly shortening the passage to a brief summary followed by Bell's denial (which I left). I was motivated in part by the comments in the nomination on this AfD page. Shortly after I made the edit, it was reverted. And I haven't argued with the revert. I'm quite calm about it, and don't feel that strongly about it, however else other editors might feel. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 18:42, 12 October 2023 (UTC) reply
      @ Tryptofish: A) I didn't shout. B) I don't criticise typos; they rarely matter out of article space. C) You quote the nomination. He says, "...several leading newspapers have acknowledged and acted on." These two articles were presumably what he was referring to. So it's in lime (sic'kening!) with what the nom actually wants to keep the material in, surely?

      I want to note that we now have gotten consensus (I think) for a shorter version that omits the scandal entirely.

      Since when do we remove unfavourable material becuase of "concerns"? If the subject is notable, and sourcing is available, they get an article. Any notable and sourced content related to the subject should be included in said article, regardless if an WP-user, or the BLP subject themseleves, likes it or not. The creation and retention of these articles needs to be done without passion or prejudice, and according to the policies & guidelines of this project. Some people should really re-think their !votes and their comments here. (imo) - wolf 05:59, 14 October 2023 (UTC) reply
      @ Tryptofish, are you saying there’s now a consensus to eliminate all mention of General Bell’s getting cashiered and the reasons for it? I don’t see it.
      I believe any article about this person should include this information, whether the General likes it or not. Furthermore, the fact that he’s used SPAs and a disingenuous appeal for pity to manipulate Wikipedia makes me implacably opposed to editing to make the subject look better. We report what’s properly referenced, period.

  • Merge Split and merge would be fine, too. System consoles are low-level direct interfaces to the OS and and/or hardware, especially useful for investigating the state of the system and recovering from problems when higher level interfaces are having troubles. The system console interface can be through a modern text terminal, but it doesn't have to be--it could be through a teletype or a specialized front panel. A quick search shows some online materials [26], [27], [28], and I am sure that are many paper sources out there on the system consoles in the older computer systems. Basic facts are verifiable, so a merge is a reasonable alternative to deletion, per our policy ( WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE). It would be a little strange to discuss the system console concept only in the articles on the different kinds of interface the system console can be instantiated on, but that approach could work with a DAB page pointing to the different interface articles. --{{u| Mark viking}} { Talk} 16:41, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: I am nominating this article for deletion because the subject does not seem to meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for companies and organizations. The article has been tagged with multiple issues since April 2015, including notability concerns, lack of citations, cleanup requirements, and bare URLs. There has been no significant improvement over the years. Lack of Notability: The article predominantly cites primary sources or unreliable sources to establish notability. For instance:

The reference to the company's revenue points to the organization's homepage, which cannot be considered an independent reliable source. The assertion that IME Group owns the biggest Money Transfer Company and Fintech IMEPay in Nepal is referenced by the company's own website. The claim about Hem Raj Dhakal's position on the Board of Directors in South Korea references a LinkedIn profile, a self-published source. Sparse Independent Coverage: Though the company might have received some recognition in Nepal, the article does not provide substantial coverage from independent and reliable sources to establish its significance beyond routine business activities.

Promotional Tone: The article appears to be written in a promotional tone, mentioning awards and achievements without critically assessing their significance or relevance. While the article mentions Chandra Prasad Dhakal receiving an award from the Prime Minister of Nepal and mentions the establishment of the "Biggest Bank In terms of Capital GlobalIME Bank Ltd.", it does not delve into any context or significance of these achievements.

Unutilized references: There are unused references at the bottom of the article that either do not support the content or are not integrated into the article. This indicates a lack of proper sourcing and article structure.

General Cleanup Issues: The article has been flagged for cleanup and rewriting since September 2021, and it appears these issues have not been addressed.

In light of the above, I suggest that the article does not meet the notability guidelines for companies and should be considered for deletion unless reliable, third-party sources can be provided to establish its significance. Expressive101 ( talk) 05:42, 22 September 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Vegas in Space or delete. I've not been able to turn up any in-depth coverage of Ford himself. His blog post on the making of Vegas in Space suggests this was the event he'd best be known for, so I doubt I'm missing some alternative search terms. I requested Craig Seligman's recent biography of Doris Fish from my local library.

Much like the case of Sara Sidle, this article was also previously a Good Article. I am now nominating this for deletion because of:

  • poor sourcing: Most of the article is unsourced or sourced to either primary sources or plot summaries. For example, the reception section, which is the most important part of the article because it proves notability, is sourced to primary sources. The Fanfiction claim is sourced to the actual Fanfiction.net page, the website claim is sourced to two fan blogs, the miniature model claim is sourced to the actual Ebay page.
  • Not being notable: back to the reception section, the last paragraph does give some glimmers of notability. However, I don't think it is enough to pass GNG. The showrunner considers him to be the center of the show and the character is featured in many character lists, but I would say these are passing mentions of the character and do not give enough SIGCOV to prove notability. His final episode as a regular attracting a lot of views also does not prove notability. A quick Google search only gives passing mentions in plot summaries.

There are other problems, such as original research (ex. Parallels with Sherlock Holmes section) and WP:CRUFT, but the two I mentioned are the most important. I can elaborate on the points mentioned above if you wish, but I do not want the nomination message to be too long. I ask that people who wish to keep the article give sources that significantly covers the character from a real-world perspective (no plot summaries or brief mentions) and people who wish to delete the article consider voting a merge and/or redirect to List of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation characters.

I would like to note that for those who wish to add the fifth source to the article should not be used using the link provided due to Researchgate being deemed unreliable at WP:RSP, but this [30] can be used instead. Spinixster (chat!) 06:46, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per Jfire. There are more questionable articles on CSI characters, but this character is clearly historically notable. BD2412 T 03:39, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV per sources posted above. 4meter4 ( talk) 05:40, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. Byers and Kompare also have in-depth coverage of Sara Sidle. There is also this journal article where her character has coverage. @ Liz I am wondering if the outcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sara Sidle would have been different had these sources been produced at that AFD. Would there be a way to re-open that discussion? 4meter4 ( talk) 05:46, 6 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Strong Keep Okay, this is for sure the character that cannot be separated from the main list. Per Jfire's sources that fulfill your need of a real-world perspective, but also from within the 12 years Gil was shown at some point during the series, there is beyond the WP:SIGCOV necessary to have this article exist.

Notable for winning Survivor: Cambodia. Sure, he debuted with his wife as players of Survivor: San Juan del Sur, but I don't think they're notable for that, especially since neither of them won that season. Neither losing Survivor: Winners at War nor appearing on The Price Is Right helps either. If neither WP:BLP1E nor WP:BIO1E applies, how about WP:PAGEDECIDE instead?

I seek this article to be redirected to either Survivor: Cambodia (his winning season), Survivor: San Juan del Sur (his debut season), or List of Survivor (American TV series) contestants, either potential target I'm fine with, honestly. George Ho ( talk) 14:33, 13 September 2023 (UTC) reply

    Regarding multiple suggestions about retargeting this article, I most likely prefer it redirected to Survivor: Cambodia, the season where he won, but I'm also fine with it retargeted to either alternative destination.

This magazine article is primarily an interview with this winner. This news article recaps how he played enough to go further and win the game. This news article just covers updates about his family life. Great news honestly, but can it save this biographical article's fate? Can the rest? (Don't get me started on a Twitter post.)

As for if it should be kept, deleted, or merged...I'm less sure about that, but just being "tagged for notability since 2010" isn't really a sufficient argument. 35.139.154.158 ( talk) 01:34, 15 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. The article appears to be primarily about Van Parijs' idea for a tax to be paid by countries using widespread languages such as English, to countries using less common languages. The pdf-file by Van Parijs listed in the link is a draft, not a final peer reviewed article. I Googled to see if the article has been referenced, and it seems to have been published in "The challenge of multilingualism in law and politics" in 2005, but I am unsure if that is an obscure journal or a book, and if it is peer-reviewed. In any case, there is no evidence that Van Parijs proposal has gained any traction among policy makers, or been the subject of any substantial analysis by other authors, so lack of notability is a major issue. The second and third references are in the final paragraph that describes the "analogous concept" that non-English speaking countries are at a disadvantage, but connecting this to Van Parijs' idea for a monetary tax is original research by synthesis.

  • Weak keep; possibly merge or redirect to Economics of language. Work on the economic and social justice effects of languages certainly exists – in addition to Van Parijs see for example economist Francois Grin and perhaps linguists such as Ingrid Piller or Claire Kramsch. The notion of a "language tax" as such doesn't seem terribly influential, but I think there is room to keep some version of this. Cnilep ( talk) 06:19, 19 September 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Weak delete It's a neat concept/word but it doesn't seem to have been widely adopted. If there was an article about it in a RS, it would be clear keep but without it, hard. No results when looking on Google Scholar, Google News, it's not even widely talked about as "language tax" by the person who supposedly coined it. Not much valuable content would be lost.

  • Delete. All we scare up are a trivial news item about Tasker coming out as gay, which fair play to the lad, but were it not for that, there would be no new item. Plus, a routine report, in its enthusiasm verging on advertorializing, about a CBBC show having Tasker as host. Where is the "significant", "third-party," "independent" coverage? Graciously, another case of a premature rush to thet stage. And the fact that the article has been curated mostly by a mostly monomaniac account does not help its case. - The Gnome ( talk) 10:51, 26 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Many sources in the article are primary, there's a reception section but it only lists the award that the actor won for playing the role, a quick Google search does not give any sources that prove individual notability, and per WP:N, it is not worth a standalone article. If the character is not notable, I suggest a redirect and/or merge to List of Law & Order characters. Spinixster (chat!) 03:24, 27 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Dorian Gray syndrome

Dorian Gray syndrome (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This syndrome was first described by Brosig, Kupfer, Niemeier, and Gieler in 2000/2001, [1] and again by the same authors in a 2006 book edited by Trüeb. [2] The only significant coverage (in reliable sources) that I can find on the subject is in works authored or co-authored by Brosig, Gieler or Trüeb. These sources are not independent of the subject, and therefore do not contribute to notability per WP:GNG.
Searching for sources is complicated by the fact that "Dorian Gray syndrome" is a fairly obvious expression (like Peter Pan syndrome, Alice in Wonderland syndrome, etc.) which has been thought up independently by different people and given a variety of different meanings. The article, however, describes a very specific phenomenon, and we need sources that discuss this phenomenon in depth. As I say, I couldn't find any reliable sources that I felt were both in-depth and independent, though it's possible that German-speaking editors may have better luck.
