  • Hold -- The qualifications for Marina to pass the AfD stem entirely based on whether UIST in Macedeonia is considered notable. If it is, then there is a pass of WP:PROF on the precedent that the top-level official at a significant university is notable. If it is not found to be notable, then there isn't enough here to keep. But subjective judgments on whether the graduation photo looks glamorous enough are not policy. (And current vs. former holder of an office is explicitly not a criterion for notability). For more, see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/University_of_Information_Science_and_Technology_"St._Paul_The_Apostle". My !vote is whatever the conclusion of that AfD ends up being. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 10:41, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    Mscuthbert, the WP:NPROF guideline is that UIST should be a major academic institution for rectors to be considered notable. This is surely a much stricter standard than notability, and I don't see anyone arguing that the institution is major. Russ Woodroofe ( talk) 11:02, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    The cases I can remember (going through AfD for academics for about 16 years), the cases where top academics at higher education have been deleted have entirely been non-notable universities (which the AfD for UIST will determine), community colleges, and small, independent theological seminaries. I believe that the bar for "major" has often been at about that level. I can't recall a president/VC/Rector of a research institute being deleted for their university not being sufficiently "major". -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 11:17, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Delete. If someone is to be considered academically notable for being the rector of a university, the presumption is that their position is actually a significant accomplishment for someone in their subfield broadly, not just "in Macedonia". That's why we require the university to be "major". Notability of the institution is not sufficient (we have plenty of articles on community colleges), so regardless of the other AfD outcome this article fails to demonstrate notability through NPROF.

Sourcing is likely to exist in Farsi, but without someone adding that (and ideally a bit more detail to the content) it’s hard to make a case for keeping.

Keep: A show which has on air for 24 years, and has won many industry awards, is clearly notable. Rillington ( talk) 00:44, 13 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Comment: I think you need to go back and look at WP:GNG and read how Wikipedia defines "notability". Several of your comments are along these lines - it's a broadcasting radio station, so it's notable; it's been on the air for years, so it's notable. These assertions don't tie in with the actual guideline, which is that the subject has to have had "significant coverage" in "reliable sources" that are "independent of the subject". Before nominating, I look for this in various sources, and if I've nominated something, it's because I've been unable to find it during my own research. In other cases, I find coverage and add it to flesh out an article that's otherwise unsourced. If others (including you) can find WP:SIGCOV for the subject of an article I've nominated, then that's great, but just asserting "it's notable" carries little weight. I haven't found anything for Big John @ Breakfast other than brief mentions in local papers and the radio trade press, nothing that would assert notability. It appears to be a WP:MILL radio morning show like many others around the world that don't have their own articles. Flip Format ( talk) 11:16, 13 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Comment: I think we will always clash over Afd as I continue to hold the view that you seem to want articles deleted far too readily, although I note that you seem to have somewhat reigned in this instinct, which is good. As you know, I am against AfD as a matter of course, not least as people have made an effort to produce, and update these articles, and to want them deleted is a bit like throwing all their efforts back at them by using a very narrow, even draconian, interpretation of rules to justify having their efforts deleted. My view is to be positive about articles and it is very rare that I would ever advocate for anyone's efforts to be deleted, and this article does have sufficient independent references to further justify its inclusion.

  • Merge and redirect to Hits Radio South Yorkshire where the show is mentioned. Sources don't provide the significant coverage required to pass the GNG. Regarding awards, there needs to be reporting independent of the award giver and radio station. As the programme is ongoing there's still a chance of it becoming notable, so a redirect to the radio station is preferable to outright deletion. Rupples ( talk) 22:39, 24 April 2024 (UTC) To elaborate, the listing of award recipients is OK but doesn't tell us why the programme received the award. If reviews of and discussions about the show/awards are sourced, it would help demonstrate notability. Rupples ( talk) 22:58, 24 April 2024 (UTC).

I'm unable to find any coverage of this band on the web. They have a generic name which makes it difficult, but even including the band members name brings up nothing.

As always, television films are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to show evidence of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about them -- but this is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability, with absolutely no evidence of third-party media coverage shown at all.

      The review notes: "I’m happy to report that Fourth Down and Love offers no real surprises plot-wise and pretty much adheres to every trope you expect from both a Hallmark romance and a kid-centric sports movie. You bet Mike’s brother and sister-in-law try to set him up with Erin every chance they can get. You bet there’s a sweet and sassy grandma. There’s a fundraiser, a winning touchdown, hurt feelings and boosted morale, all that good stuff. I’m happy that Fourth Down and Love has all of that, because all of those plot points are fun to see and because it means I can focus this take on what the movie really excels at: character."

      The review is listed on Rotten Tomatoes here.

      The review notes: "While we're unsure if this film was a one-off or part of a movie series, I'm crossing my fingers for more. I found the entire Hanson family to be charming, and I'd love to see Mike coach another season of the Whalers flag football team with assistance from Jimmy, Danielle, and Erin. Since this was the first adult male that gave Kiara any attention, I think we need more time to see how the family dynamics evolve now that Mike is her mom's boyfriend and her coach."

      The article notes: "Hallmark is giving all fans a big treat with their newest flick in their Fall into Love programing, Fourth Down and Love starring Pascale Hutton and Ryan Paevey. Paevey plays professional football star Mike Hansen who suffers an injury that sidelines him for a month. Mike’s brother Jimmy (Dan Payne, Outrunners) convinces Mike to come home while he’s recovering."

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

  • Weak keep. Interesting niche stuff about Korean planned and apparently abandoned TV series. Korean wiki article has no references at all. Current sourcing: 1) English language email interview with the director at scifijapan.com [2]. According to [3], this is "a fan-made website", there is no information on who conducted the intereview 2) a Korean language news article [4] from thisisgame.com, by "Reporter Park Sang-beom". According to NamuWiki [5] it is " a webzine frequently visited by people in the industry". So the sources are borderline reliable, that provide some SIGCOV of this. The nominator failed to do a WP:BEFORE ( WP:TROUT is awarded). There is next to nothing else under English title. Sadly, I am not fluent in Korean, so I rely on machine translation, but I see some coverage, ex. [6] for example states "The demo video of the science fiction drama 'Space Electric Ray Force', scheduled to be broadcast in September 2010, is receiving great response from netizens", however the source is some minor Korean news site. There is various other coverage: [7] - some of it may be rewritten press releases, Korean news websites are not great (although frankly coverage of such niche topics in English and other languages is often less than Pulitzer-winning too...). Bottom line is that we need someone familiar with Korean Internet to comment on whether there is some reliable, SIGCOV coverage. What I see is borderline, and given the nominator did not bother to analyze the sources or do BEFORE, and nobody else presented a critique of the article or sourcing - a week keep is justified. PS. I've added a bit about the cast, and refs to support the claims from ko wiki (which as I said has no refs); I hope my machine translation of the refs is not faulty. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:58, 13 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    Thank you for reviewing the references. I suggest we stick to Wikipedia:TVSERIES. I know, it is not a notability guideline but a tool to help determine notability. It says: "In most cases, a television series or season is not eligible for an article until it has been confirmed by reliable sources to have started filming (excluding a pilot's filming)". I checked the referenced interview; it was held at a time when filming had not started. For want of confirmation in reliable, independent sources that filming indeed had started, I maintain my deletion proposal. Ruud Buitelaar ( talk) 03:05, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    I concur that this did not get filmed, but the promo video attracted some attention.

Notability is not inherited, so she isn't automatically entitled to an article just because her husband has one -- but this article is neither making nor reliably sourcing any credible claim that she would pass WP:NPOL in her own right.
The strongest notability claim here is that she's been an appointed bureaucrat in a state government department, which is not an automatic notability freebie in the absence of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about her work in that role -- but otherwise, what we've got here is that she's been an unsuccessful candidate in state legislature elections, which is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself, and recently won a "local woman of the year" award that is not nationally or internationally prominent enough to make its winners "inherently" notable for winning it.
And all of this is referenced entirely to primary sources, like her staff profile on the government department's self-published website and raw tables of election results and the self-published website of the presenter of the local award, with not even one piece of GNG-worthy reliable source coverage shown whatsoever.
This all reaches far enough back into the past that I'd be perfectly willing to withdraw this if somebody with much better access to archived Sacramento-area media coverage than I've got can find enough proper media coverage about her work as a public servant to get her over the bar, but nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to be referenced a lot better than this.

  • Delete. No serious claim of notability, nor can I find any by independently searching. She's been an unsuccessful congressional candidate a few times; has been named "woman of the year" of one county (said naming apparently being within the discretion of a single state senator); served as an "associate director", a "deputy secretary" and even an "assistant deputy administrator" (but not even either assistant nor deputy) of some notable agencies and organization (or at least, in the case the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service, a subunit of such an agency or organization), but never an actual director / secretary / administrator.

  • Delete. At least one of the claims in the Dodd "Sacramento Woman of the Year" item is highly inaccurate, so that citation is obviously non-independent and more of a political favor to her husband. Unless significant coverage and notability can be demonstrated from truly independent sources, this thrice-failed political candidate who last ran for office 32 years ago, and who has been a very minor functionary and the wife of a Congressman, fails notability.

WP:BLP of a politician, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL. The main notability claim here is that he's county executive of a county, but that's not a role that automatically guarantees a Wikipedia article -- it's a role where he would have to pass WP:NPOL #2, which hinges on the quality and depth of his sourcing. But of the five footnotes here, two are just redundant repetitions of two of the three others, so there are really only three sources -- and of those, one is a primary source (the county government's own self-published website about itself) that isn't support for notability at all, one is his "voter information" blurb in the local newspaper's "voter information blurbs about every candidate on the ballot" section, and one is just simple verification that he won the election -- which doesn't add up to enough to satisfy NPOL #2.

Much of the press coverage the subject of this BLP has garnered based on his arrest which is centered on WP:ONEEVENT, indicating a tendency towards WP:RECENTISM. It's too common for journalists to get some sort of press attention on every one of them and this one was arrested so the coverage was anticipated.

Most sources in the article either mention him in passing or are articles or blogposts Sudhakar has written, which do not count towards notability.

This brief webindia123 article mentions that he won a Raja Ram Mohan Roy Award, but I am unsure if this is significant with respect to WP:NBIO

The only sources discussing him in any detail are about his claims of having received over 100 different degrees from these three articles from DNA India News 18 and The Hindu. The Hindu article asserts that he has over 15 PhDs, which they say he obtained by "distance learning". The Hindu article, also asserts that he has a record from the "Gunnies Book of Records" [sic], but he is not in the Guinness database at all [8]. These claims are very obviously self promotional and the "degrees" are probably from diploma mills, but as the sources are completely uncritical there's nothing that can be written about this. I note that the DNA India and News 18 stories are only available by archive and you cannot find them on the current versions of the websites, I don't know if that is because the news organisations deleted them because of concerns regarding the reliability of Sudhakar's claims or for some other reason.

Overall, I just don't think it's possible to write a neutral, non-promotional biography about this individual, given the uncritical nature of the sources. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 19:51, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete I cannot find any thesis under this name on Google Scholar nor anywhere else. Scopus has 3 P J Sudhakar's [9] but none are him (I have discounted P Justin Sudhakar, who has some research presence but goes by the name Justin). I tried variations and still didn't turn him up. Worldcat found two books [10] (looks like 3, but two are the same) by someone called Patnala Sudhakar. However, when I coaxed Google Translate to translate from Telugu (the orthography is off, but that is the language), it translated one title as "Dr. Ravuri Bharadwaja is the greatest writer of this century in Smati literature" and the other did not translate, so probably a name. Even if this is the same person, none of that verifies the existence of any thesis. Getting degrees does not imply an academic publishing career will follow, but with that many Ph.D.s you'd expect something somewhere (granted limitations with Scopus, but again, Scholar was a bust too). Of course, it's a nonsense. Life is too short to get that many degrees unless there is something dodgy about the degrees, so the uncritical acceptance of diploma mills looks right. And then there are the Indian news sources to consider, for which WP:NEWSORGINDIA is a useful caution. None of this stands up to scrutiny. Self promotional and not notable.

Forensics on sources: We have an extensive list of voice actors, which name-drops our subject; this article about something else, titled "How dubbed versions of Hollywood hits are churning out heroes," in which, again, the name of our subject is mentioned; a promotional piece on a commercial website that uses our subject in its video games; a couple of interviews, here and there, which, per se, do not support notability; more irrelevancies, such as this; and so on.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Rotarun, which reliable sources have described as a "ski hill" and a "a little mountain", falls under Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features)#Scope, which says:

    For the purpose of this guideline, a geographical feature is any reasonably permanent or historic feature of the Earth, whether natural or artificial.

    The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features)#Natural features, which says:

    Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands, etc. The number of known sources should be considered to ensure there is enough verifiable content for an encyclopedic article. If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature can instead be included in a more general article on local geography. For example, a river island with no information available except name and location should probably be described in an article on the river.

      The article notes: "With its eight named runs and a vertical drop of 441 feet, Rotarun has been responsible for nurturing young talents like Olympic champions Picabo Street and Cristin Cooper and Paralympic medalist Muffy Davis. This humble little mountain has been a testament to community involvement since it sprang into existence in the winter of 1940-41, when three locals—Jim Hurst, Bob Jackson and Bill Mallory—ventured out of Croy Canyon, climbed Rotarun and declared that it would make a nice little ski hill."

      The article notes: "Kathleen Eder knows every dip and rise in the treeless white hill that constitutes Rotarun Ski Area. She spent many hours here watching her daughter Lauren and son Jason take the first turns that launched their ski racing careers. ... Snowmaking, installed this year, has transformed the face of the mountain into a white expanse with none of the wheat-colored bunchgrasses that dot the slopes in lean snow years. Instead, the hill resembled a little factory with a steady stream of pint-sized skiers catching a ride on the Poma lift that ferried them 475 feet up the hill. ... Rotarun sprang into existence as an official ski hill when Bill Mallory, Bob Jackson and Jim Hurst arranged for a tractor-and-pulley rope tow to pull skiers up the 5,895-foot hill. And Jimmy Savaria gave ski lessons for $1 per week."

      The article notes: "This is another long-standing small ski hill, which got its name when the local Rotary Club opened the hill in 1947. ... For example, on a busy Friday night in January, 60 people were on the hill. Race days attract 150 racers. Annual winter events include the Snow Box Derby, where people decorate sleds made of paper, tape and cardboard then glide down a course on the sleds, and the ski and snowboard Arkoosh Cup Race. The old Sun Valley heli-ski building was donated and moved and will be remodeled for the Rotarun's ski lodge, snack bar and warming hut."

      The article notes: "But a small mountain located south of Ketchum in Hailey provides something that Baldy doesn’t — night skiing. Located three miles east of downtown Hailey is Rotarun, known as “the little mountain with a big heart.” This fun little ski hill has been around for 60 years, serving the local community and providing a close-by, cheaper alternative to Sun Valley’s main ski hill. Rotarun has two lifts that run a little over 400 vertical feet to the top; one is a Poma lift and the other a handle tow lift."

      The article notes: "Idaho's smallest ski resort - Rotarun in Hailey - more than tripled its annual skier visits from around 3,000 to nearly 12,000 after it installed snowmaking. ... Little Rotarun, which got its name after the local Rotary Club replaced an existing rope tow in 1957, has a platter lift that was installed in 2001 and 441 feet of vertical. It struggled to stay open over the years and serve its community until the Rotarun Ski Club asked the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation to step in and help operate the mountain starting in 2017. Limburg, a commercial real estate broker who's on the SVSEF board, became president, and the two nonprofits partnered, tapping into SVSEF's much bigger resources and donor base."

      The article notes: "During the winter of 1940-41, Jim Hurst, Bob Jackson and Bill Mallory decided that it was a nice day to go skiing, so they ventured out Croy Canyon, climbed Rotarun and declared that it would be a nice little ski hill. Those ski pioneers used a donated tractor from Wayne Clark and a pulley system to operate a rope tow in the early days. Jay Deering and Charles and Pilar Harris helped with the rope tow and Jimmy Savaria gave ski lessons for $1 per week. Ski racer Ann Janet Winn, who competed in the 1948 Winter Olympics, began teaching local children skiing on a small hill at the Hailey Elementary School and later took her students to Rotarun."

    7. There is extensive coverage of Rotarun in this Newspapers.com search.
    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Rotarun to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

I would not phrase it that way - the point of these AfDs (of which this is one of dozens, most of which have ended in deletions) is to make sure that recreations of salted articles don't fly under the radar. Once it's at AfD, especially for entries like this one where the previous title was only speedy deleted not subject to a deletion discussion, it should be evaluated by normal AfD standards, which do include concerns of notability. And I'm not withdrawing this because I feel like I'm only the messenger here, not the independent agent pushing for deletion, so it would be wrong for me to do so. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:16, 26 April 2024 (UTC) reply

The page may not meet Wikipedia's notability; perhaps - redirect to Community-Led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs BoraVoro ( talk) 11:27, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Thank you @ BoraVoro for your suggestion to delete this page. Maybe to share some details around why I thought it might be good to have a separate page on the Open Book Collective - this Open Access platform and community has been developed out of the Community-Led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs project, but as the COPIM project has ended and the Open Book Collective itself has matured and now is its own legal entity, I thought it might make more sense to have a separate entry for that initiative. I agree that the current state of the page is still rudimentary, but my hope is that this will be soo growing to include more detailed information around key collaborations, etc. in the space of non-profit OA book publishing, so would be grateful if this could be given space here on Wikipedia going forward.

The result was ‎ keep. First, there is the issue of the G5 speedy deletion criterion ("Creations by banned or blocked users"). The WP:G5 policy clarifies:

This applies to pages created by banned or blocked users in violation of their ban or block, and that have no substantial edits by others.

At the time of the nomination, and the speedy delete votes early on in the discussion, this did apply and the page would have been a valid speedy deletion candidate. However, during the course of the discussion, an admirable effort to expand and rewrite the entire article has taken place, so the "no substantial edits by others" part of the criterion is no longer applicable. Indeed, consensus now appears to be that the subject passes notability requirements. Sjakkalle (Check!) 20:02, 27 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Created by a banned sockpuppet, and most of the coverage seems to be WP:ROUTINE. Considered PROD, but decided against given that the sources here. Allan Nonymous ( talk) 14:42, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Look more carefully: Tass is a biased source with respect to topics in which the Russian government may have an interest and it is also generally unreliable for providing contentious facts in that context. But, here, we're not debating the veracity of a claim by the Russian government, or something similar. This is about notability. And Tass, among many other sources, reports that our subject is president of a top sporting organization and has been for a significant number of years, with information about the office and other bureaucratic details - a position which, per se, renders him notable. One can hardly imagine the BLP of any person in charge of a country's (and not a small country's either) top football authority not having a Wikipedia article!
The Associated Press report is but one of the many reports, a lot of which are, as expected, routine, about the doings and sayings of the person in charge of the top Russian football authority, i.e Pryadkin. As to The Guardian report, I'm afraid we'll disagree. I find nothing "shallow" about the Russian footy top honcho claiming in depth on British media that racism in England is worse than racism in Russia. I wonder if you watched it but that's not too important: perpaps if they had a transcript instead you'd see it better.

While I'm a big fan of Fate/Grand Order as a game, I feel this list is a behemoth that ultimately fails notability on its own, and has become more of a cruft dragon that doesn't really explain why these characters are important. The bigger issue though is a notability one: while Fate itself definitely has reactions, the harder argument is that FGO's characters on their own do in an overarching way that makes it work for WP:N or WP:LISTN.

Even reception for Mash and Ritsuka would be more for them, and that could be worked into the parent game article (and as someone that tried to do a writeup on Mash, I'm not confident the sources are there) Kung Fu Man ( talk) 02:22, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Relisting comment: It seems like a split consensus between redirect and keep.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

  • Keep. LISTN specifically sets out lists where each individual member might not be notable, but the collective as a whole is notable, as a valid case. I think that personally, FGO should be banned or the like (& other gacha), but it grudgingly is a big deal with zillions of dollars flowing around. Sourcing is certainly tricky due to the game's most devoted fanbase being in Japan, but I have no doubt that a reception-of-the-FGO characters section can be written, albeit possibly with Japanese sources in addition to the ones linked by Piotrus above. (Of course, I agree that part of the issue is that the reception is tied up across appearances across the franchise, so maybe there needs to be "Characters of Fate" article... but it seems the existing style is separate articles per work, since stay/night has its own separate characters article. And this article is already very long, and would get longer if it was turned into "Characters of Fate". Oh well.). SnowFire ( talk) 17:23, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Existence does not make the patents or work notable, there has to be reputable independent secondary evidence of this, of which there are none here, just requotes of material from him.
    Secondly, claims need to be appropriate and consistent with established science. For instance the claim "single electrons and lone pairs are the major sources of toxicity in elements and compounds" is both a circular reference to his own work, and scientifically deeply unsound. Many other statements are scientifically very unsound ( WP:FRINGE). If they were sound then there would be independent sources from reputable scientific journals to back them up, of which there are none.
    Thirdly, references must at least be consistent with and support the claims. The article has the invalid science "vapor-like water that emanates from ice is another state of water different from vapor which emanates from hot water" sourced to [16] (which should be [18]) which is a primary source, 100% fringe science published in a disreputable journal.
    Finally, Notability depends upon reliable, independent sources, and I see none of that here, just a lot of unsupported claims, reproductions of what he claims, masses of awful science ( WP:FRINGE), and advertising/puffery. This is not WP:CREATIVE, claims have to be verifiable and not fringe ( WP:FRINGE).

    Also, none of the patents is sourced using the standard {{patent}} template, or better the standard {{cite patent}} template. As such the claims that they exist is unverifiable. Ldm1954 ( talk) 12:45, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: His fire proof paint is known offline. The application of his claims is largely recounted in the sources here. I'd say wiki articles about the sources show their reliability as per WP:GNG. Don't know how thick is his science or theory. Removing unsound scientific claims but retaining his verified applications would do.

Failed WP:NPOL, even WP:BASIC. No in-depth articles, she presents her point of view on national media every day. But this does not prove notability. Only one article is better from India Today. Rest of the news is also non reliable. Youknowwhoistheman ( talk) 21:07, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep the article. WP:NPOL isn't the only criteria, I have already told you on another article. She handily passes WP:BASIC of WP:BIO. The criteria needs multiple reliable independent secondary sources. In the absence of any source with in-depth coverage, the criteria also accepts combination of multiple sources with limited but not insignificant coverage.
In here, there is presence of multiple sources with decent in-depth coverage so even the supplementary point isn't needed. The main WP:GNG requirement itself is met. I had added four of them. Indian Express, The Wire, The Print and News Click.
But someone had changed the article completely and turned it into a resume kind of page. That someone had removed all these references and replaced it with an article in
India Today which was written by her and some other things like TedX and "enewsroom.com" but I have fixed it now. MrMkG ( talk) 21:48, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

    Please explain to me, how full length profiles as articles can be called routine coverage? The hundreds of politicians or candidates don't get that. MrMkG ( talk) 05:40, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    Source 7 in the article. Please review again. Full-length articles are significant, but she's only known for being a candidate, which isn't what's needed here for notability. Extensive coverage of a non-notable person doesn't help. Oaktree b ( talk) 17:06, 22 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    This was a post-poll coverage of her, this can't be an informational bit on candidate for voters to consider for an upcoming election, can it? Unless you say this is also to "keep the public informed" then any coverage of anything is to keep the public informed and no politician can be notable if they don't have a legislative office but the guidelines don't say that. Here is another source, not in the context of any particular election. It talks about her impact in relation to the sitting CM from the rival party. Is this also routine coverage? If so what isn't routine coverage? MrMkG ( talk) 05:48, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    It's fine, but she's only known for being a political candidate, that's not notable here. Unless she wins a seat in the legislature, I don't see notability as being met. Oaktree b ( talk) 17:07, 22 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    But that means she passes the criteria then. Politicians can be notable according to the criteria even if they don't have a seat.
    It is also less so that she is known for being a candidate but that she is a known politician, being candidates in elections is just what they do and what gets discussed a lot. MrMkG ( talk) 20:33, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply

The subject of this BLP won a seat in the National Assembly in 2024 election, but was later disqualified after a recount. He has no prior parliamentary position so IMO, he do not meet WP:POLITICIAN.

A defunct platform/company of strictly ephemeral interest. Source 4 on the page is a blog post and source 5 is a medium post, so those are WP:SPS. The other 3 are just announcements. Just two paragraphs on FastCompany.com, Metropolis is not independent, there is a single one sentence passing mention in Courier international.

  • Delete This is a company therefore GNG/ WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject.

Set of new geographic pages of villages of Burkina Faso created by User:Hisirmynameismahbeer. All of them seem to be added using copy-paste of a template and some very disputable sources. In this example, a completely unrelated Britannica entry is used as source. I started draftifying some articles and fixing the ones for which information can be found, but this seems a clear case of WP:TNT. Some of these places exist and are found in the 2006 census data ( found here) but they are definitely not "towns", they are often located in a different district than the one in the infobox, and sometimes they are only districts of a city (which would not fulfill WP:NGEO).

I spot checked some of the other settlements and can verify some but not others - Louksi clearly exists, for instance, but Nemnin is a neighbourhood of Ouagadougou which doesn't pass GNG "on its face" in the article - so I'm happy with deleting the rest as a purely procedural concern, without any sort of prejudice on re-creation.

The nominator also stated that they don't want to do the work to nominate each article separately, but this is not a valid criteria for mass deletion.

  • Procedural keep Most of these articles are badly problematic but are notable. I figured this out after I could confirm Louksi on a map, but couldn't find any sources (apart from one photo of a proposed building from an architect) until I poked over to the French site to see it was Lougsi (see [17]), meaning I verified Katabtenga, Dassouri, and Louksi. This gave me a hint that there are other misspellings in here as well, including Taonsgho [18] for Taonsogo, Goghin ( [19]) for Goughin Nord, et cetera. Zékounga is clearly notable from the French article as well now that I look at it, and I've done what I can to rescue it mostly by providing a link to the French page. The only one I support deleting right now is Nemnin, because these are impossible to BEFORE without looking at the French wikipedia. SportingFlyer T· C 18:10, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Doesnt establish his notability as per WP: GNG. While he has held various positions and roles in business and politics I think the references provided do not demonstrate significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV.

The philanthropy section is also failing as it lacks the necessary citations for verification WP:BLP. Without further evidence of in-depth coverage from independent sources, the subject does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards for a standalone BLP Comintell ( talk) 07:46, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Article does need some improvement, but state legislators are inherently notable per WP:NPOL #1. Since he held office 20 years ago, the coverage that he surely had due to being a state legislator would be unlikely to Google well, and would almost certainly have to be retrieved from archives — but that's precisely why we have NPOL to clarify that certain roles are inherently notable even if the article is weak in its current form, because Wikipedians tend to be lazy about locating sourcing that would actually require effort to find, and state legislators do typically have more coverage than anybody's actually been arsed to uncover.

After conducting a search, I found that the location you mentioned ceased to exist. In November 2015, Mengbi Township and Shuitianba Township were administratively merged to form Shuitianba Town. Therefore, this location no longer exists. I believe this entry meets Wikipedia's deletion policy, specifically criterion ten: Redundant or otherwise useless templates. Hence, I suggest deleting this entry. WYRRRR ( talk) 05:17, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. I expanded the article with an infobox and references from the corresponding article in Chinese. Even if two townships have been amalgamated, an article about the structure prior to amalgamation can be valuable. Once notable, always notable. A populated place can be notable whether it is a small part of a municipality or occupies several municipalities. I don't know whether Mengbi is a township, a town, or both, and what the definition of those terms is in China. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 05:52, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep unless somebody can offer a better deletion rationale than this, and/or redirect to an article about Shuitianba if somebody can be bothered to make one. Firstly, this isn't a template, so deletion criteria for templates have nothing to do with whether it's keepable or not — and secondly, we don't automatically delete articles about things that formerly existed just because they don't still exist now. If we really just couldn't find anything more to say about Mengbi than just "it's a place that existed", then redirecting it to an article about Shuitianba could be viable if we had one, but we don't delete articles about places just because they've been merged into other places, because people might very well still want or need information about what Mengbi was. We're an encyclopedia, not just a directory of currently-existing things — defunct things still have legitimate reasons why people might be looking for information about them, so defunctness is not a deletion rationale in and of itself. We can redirect to the successor entity if there's really just not that much to say, but we don't delete articles just because the topic was merged into something else. Bearcat ( talk) 17:38, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Bearcat Perhaps your argument #2 can be strenghtened by mentioning Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions? As for #1, the correct notability guideline would probably be Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). It would be good to consider whether this entity meets this one.

We could point out the blatant failure to meet WP:GNG but one trusts the failure is evident. And the odor of promotion is overwhelming: We have kamikaze accounts, such as this or this working diligently on the wreckage. We even got a blocked account, such as this one. We might even have the subject itself creating it. Quite a gallery. - The Gnome ( talk) 15:18, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Primary sourced bio for non notable artist. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. A search found nothing better. duffbeerforme ( talk) 03:22, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete unless an editor can rewrite the article based on newly discovered references to reliable, independent sources that devote enough significant coverage to this artist showing that they meet WP:ARTIST. The "Artist's statement" section is of no value, because an acceptable Wikipedia article about an artist summarizes what sources independent of the artist say, not what the artist says about themself. The "Overview" section is unreferenced, banal and uninformative. The "Exhibitions" section is entirely unreferenced, and is therefore of no value in establishing notability.

I am dubious whether this article passes WP:NSONG or WP:GNG. The track is not subject of significant coverage, and the current information leaves something to be desired. Suggest redirecting it back to 1989 (album) as a standalone article does not look promising for inclusion atp. Ippantekina ( talk) 03:22, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect No significant coverage in sources other than album reviews. We have to start becoming stricter (or at least enforcing the guidelines more harshly) on the notability of album tracks. ‍  PSA 🏕️  ( talk) 04:19, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    I think album reviews are fine as long as it satisfies GNG ("Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.") So imo it's really a case by case thing, and in this case the encyclopedic content extracted from the existing sources is subpar for a standalone article. Ippantekina ( talk) 04:51, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Keep. There are sources that do have significant coverage of the song, other than album reviews. [1] [2] [3] These are the three sources that best demonstrate its notability. Brachy08 (Talk) 07:48, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Even so, the encyclopedic content of this article is of merger quality and there is no need for a standalone article when such content could be integrated into the article 1989 (album). Ippantekina ( talk) 03:08, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply
How so? Brachy08 (Talk) 07:47, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: per Branchy0008. Even the charting satisfies notability. @T.C.G. [talk] 15:58, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    WP:NSONG charting suggests that "a song or single may be notable enough" but it is not a guarantee. Ippantekina ( talk) 03:06, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    Most articles about recordings and musicians are notable because of charting especially from Billboard charts. Some articles only rely on chart history sources to establish significant coverage. May or not, as long as it is a criteria for notability, it is what it is! @T.C.G. [talk] 09:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep – received significant independent coverage in American Songwriter, Billboard, etc. There's also an extensive paragraph in Perone 2017. Combined with other album reviews I don't see why this can't be a great article. Heartfox ( talk) 13:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per the song charting as well as the sources shown in this AfD.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Elli ( talk • contribs) 19:59, 22 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Neutral @ Brachy0008, @ TheChineseGroundnut, @ Heartfox and @ Elli: If we let this article stand, with doubts about minimum compliance with standards, what will happen is that it will stand, but it would not meet the GA criteria. If the GA criteria are not met, then the 1989 topic will be at risk and will be forced to be removed as a featured topic. What a shame to say (because I know a lot of effort has gone into this article), but the existing articles about the album are better done than this one. Also, you can't do the same thing as with the songs from Midnights (you can notice that all the songs in its standard edition have an article and they are all GA), because the ones from 1989 don't have the same coverage. However, I'll not vote for or against its removal so as not to harm anyone. Santi ( talk) 20:43, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I think it can be GA. Topic demotion grace period is three months. If by that time it is clear it can't meet GA I would vote to redirect, but right now there are still many sources that aren't used and this article is not near its final state. Heartfox ( talk) 20:52, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Heartfox: Ok, and how which ones? I haven't been able to sit down to review it yet because I have a super tight schedule that I suppose will be light on May 3. Santi ( talk) 20:56, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply
The Words and Music of Taylor Swift has a paragraph about the song, for example. Heartfox ( talk) 20:59, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Thank you. But it would then be more complicated because, in my case, I cannot go around buying information books that I will not use later, because I have several old encyclopedias in the library. I don't know about Brachy in this case. Santi ( talk) 21:02, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Carroll County, Indiana has almost entirely listed unincorporated places that are clearly towns, but this one is an exception. There is the usual square pattern of roads just to the east of the (now taken up) rail line, but the aerials and topos show that this wasn't always there: the oldest topos I found (from the 1960s) don't show it at all, and the aerials show it apparently coming into being. Given the location of the label by the grade crossing, I have to suspect this was a rail point for a town which never really materialized. Perhaps someone else can find more info, but searching was surprisingly difficult: Sleeth is apparently a very common name in Indiana. Mangoe ( talk) 02:17, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete According to sources on the article it was a post office. I can't find anything in the newspapers about it. But I believe the second source that is on that article just assumed that a post office = town. James.folsom ( talk) 03:13, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply
