This information already exists in the Colchester (UK Parliament constituency) article which lists the MPs. I don't see why we should have an article listing the MPs of a constituency in a given period. GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk) 08:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and move per below, to remove the year from the title and copy over lists from the constituency article. This is a valid split. SportingFlyer T· C 15:07, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete/merge I don't see anything here that needs a stand-alone article. The short biographies are not found in any other list of MPs and I don't really see the need to keep them like this, but they can also be merged to the constituency article. Reywas92 Talk 14:09, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Do we really need lists of MPs for every single constituency? Athel cb ( talk) 17:36, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    They're potentially valid splits, we already have lists of MPs for each constituency and that is necessarily encyclopaedic information. If you look at the Colchester article, most of it is lists of the MPs and lists of election results, which are both encyclopaedic. Splitting the article into three might provide a better overview to the reader. SportingFlyer T· C 19:12, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    Please bear in mind WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, just because their are other lists on other constituencies does not mean that this article should not be deleted. Also as far as I'm aware, Colchester is the only constituency to have a seperate article listing all of the MPs, the other lists are appropriately included in the constituency articles and not split into seperate lists.


Having the lists of MPs in each election is a different matter entirely to listing the MPs in one constituency. A case could be made for including lists of MPs elected in particular regions or counties but having a list of MPs elected in a single constituency especially when that information could be included in the main article just seems like overcategorization. GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk) 20:01, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
You completely mis-understood my argument. The main article is 100,000 bytes. Most of it is election results and a complete list of MPs from 1295 to the present, with a brief interruption when the constituency was abolished. There is additional prose in the split list which helps provide context to the lists. The !voter I responded to essentially makes the argument the lists should also be deleted from the main article as well, which is ridiculous - historical lists of MPs are necessarily encyclopaedic information. Up-merging this would make the current article even larger. I honestly think the correct thing to do here from an editing perspective is to move this to List of MPs for Colchester and move the entire list of MPs to the list article as a valid WP:SPLIT, keeping only recent MPs on the main page. None of that is a WP:OSE argument, other than the fact it would not be the only list of MPs article on the website. The page size and the consitutency's lengthy history also mean it's not necessarily the case every constituency could be validly split. SportingFlyer T· C 11:29, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Sorry, I thought you meant lists as in standalone articles listing every MP, such as this one. I see your point and I now agree that the current article should be split and have a seperate list for MPs considering how old the constituency is and how large the current article is, however I think that this proposed article should include MPs from 1295 till present rather than including only MPs from 1885 till 1983, with the article being split into four sections (1295–1640, 1640–1885, 1885–1983, and 1983–present). GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk) 11:54, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I have tried to bring the article back to a neutral form according to wikipedia policies. But in a less friendly way, the article is back to a negative form (which is not in accordance with wikipedia policies. According to WP:BLP1E we should avoid keeping the article (because most sources describe the company the same and the topic is notable for an event). A range of sources can be classified under WP:DEPS, And some of the sources don't even mention the information, which raises a lot of questions at WP:NPOV.

  • Comment we don't delete articles merely because they reflect badly on the subject. We reject them if the bad reflections cannot be justified by sourcing. Looking at the article's history, I see a slow-motion edit-war between Ciudatul and other editors, mostly relating to whether the sources are reliable, (Ciudatul removing references that they consider unreliable, others restoring). Questions of reliability of sourcing should go to WP:RSN. If you feel that the situation is unfair to a living individual, take it to WP:BLPN. AfD is not the correct place to settle this. Incidentally, it's not going to end well for the subject anyway, because even were this article deleted, it would almost certainly become a redirect to Appin where exactly the same dirty laundry will be aired in public view. Elemimele ( talk) 13:31, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    Thanks for your comment, but I didn't propose the article for deletion just because it reflects negatively on the subject. I can go back to the version proposed by the editors who created the article, which in my opinion is a disaster (from the history I have analysed that it was not even checked by a special rights editor). The article can be classified safely with WP:BLP1E. Thanks! Ciudatul ( talk) 15:43, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    I can't honestly see how else we can handle this. The problem is that (1) Appin has been going on for a long time (the bad press started in 2010 and the story continues to this day), while Khare is very closely linked with it; and (2) so far as I can make out, every time legal action succeeds in suppressing one article, it generates five more articles about the legal action and the suppression; this is a Hydra, where the legal action will never cut off all the heads. Point (1) makes it hard to argue for BLP1E, while point (2) ensures there will always be sources taking a negative viewpoint. We're here to reflect sources in an unbiased manner. Neutral doesn't mean "neither positive nor negative", it means representative of the sources, so if he becomes famous for being associated with potential suppression of news organisations, it's going to be hard to have an article that doesn't reflect badly on him. Elemimele ( talk) 19:59, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Article deletion is judged on notability, not neutrality, and there are countless WP:RS that attest to the notability of Khare and the Appin saga. You could argue that Khare is primarily notable for Appin, but the company has since rebranded and various parts have been spun off; if anything, I'd argue that Khare himself is more notable than the companies he has founded, so if they're going to the merged it should be the other way around. Jpatokal ( talk) 00:39, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    Based on the notability, if you do an analysis then you can see that any priority source mentions company, so he is only notable based on the company that is under WP:BLP1E. Regarding neutrality I just added that there is no neutrality in the article. Which sums up that the article should be deleted or redirected to the company article. As far as I saw, it was you yourself who redirected the article to the company in the past. Ciudatul ( talk) 09:33, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

    No one even questions that some sources come from notable newspapers. The problem is that most sources describe the company, and Rajat is notable only on the basis of the company according to WP:BLP1E. So what you say is not in accordance with wikipedia policies.

Why does this page exist? There is an exact identical sort of this page except it spans for all known border skirmishes until now. It fails WP:NOTABILITY.

There isn't really any reason this page should exist when it is pretty much a direct replica of the page Afghanistan–Pakistan border skirmishes except based in 2024. Noorullah ( talk) 23:24, 2 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep This article isn't solely about border skirmishes, it covers attacks inside the territories Pakistan/Afghanistan as well, particularly Khost and Paktika airstrikes. 2024 Afghanistan–Pakistan skirmishes meet the WP:GNG and justify a standalone article. --— Saqib ( talk | contribs) 07:56, 3 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I nowhere claimed these attacks as "unprecedented," but they do mark a significant turning point in Pakistan's relations with the Taliban-led Afghan government. --— Saqib ( talk | contribs) 10:48, 3 April 2024 (UTC) reply
It isn't unprecedented but it is pretty significant, usually clashes involve deaths of about 3-5 but this one has claimed the lives of upto 50 and is significant as Pakistan has airstriked Afghan soil which has happened like only twice since Taliban takeover, it has also lead to a nationwide terror campaign in Pakistan and the news articles I provided as sources are pretty reliable and include al Jazeera, DW news,AP news amongst other reliable sources Waleed Ukranian ( talk) 13:06, 3 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The sources include Al Jazeera, DW news, Reuters, AP news, The original and Dawn news which are pretty reliable so I don'</nowiki>t know why it has been nominated for deletion InfoHistoric23 ( talk) 15:36, 3 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The clashes are far more intense than the previous ones. The other Pakistani airstrikes on Afghanistan have their own article after it caused nearly 50 casualties. This one has roughly the same amount so going by precedent, it should be kept. However, it might be necessary to get rid of the irrelevant attacks which aren't connected to the border clash itself.
RamHez ( talk) 01:13, 4 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: Narrowed scope on its own doesn't affect notability. Ideally we'd have a full article about the subject that this could be a child article of or merged into. Are there any sources on this other than news? International relations usually turns up analytic sources pretty quickly, so I'd be willing to believe there are sources that meet GNG if someone can find them.

  • Delete - I voted to delete this singer in the first AfD back in 2020, and the reasoning at the time was that he had what appeared to be plentiful media coverage, but read the text and you'll find it very promotional and often downright gushy, meaning that the sources are friendly forwarders of press releases and management blurbs. He has gotten some more of the same in more recent years, but it is still largely promotional with practically no reliable coverage that can be used to build an encyclopedic article here. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 17:36, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

We no longer source radio station articles solely to databases and FCC records, since you can't meet the GNG that way — we need significant coverage. This was deleted via PROD two years ago for more-or-less that reason; it was recreated a few months later, and I had to procedural contest a new PROD on this version of the article. That said, our current standards are strict enough that I figured I'd just bring it to AfD myself. This could be redirected to the list of radio stations in North Dakota as an alternative to deletion, but owing to the double-prod a unilateral BLAR would be ill-advised.

The Lebanese newspaper you found an article in is Ad-Diyar. Would you be willing to spend some time improving the article, if the article were moved to draft as Draft:Khalil Ziade? If you are going to do that, you need to learn how to present citations better (see example).
  • "خليل زيادة: نحن مُقبلون على أهم وأخطر مرحلة للنهوض بنادي "ابني لبنان" وثورة القطاع الرياضي هدفنا" [Khalil Ziadeh: We are entering the most important and dangerous stage for the advancement of the Ibn Lebanon” club, and the sports sector revolution is our goal.]. Ad-Diyar (in Arabic). 28 July 2021. Archived from the original on 15 August 2021.

Delete (for now, might change) – All the sources, except for this one because I can't see the whole article, are interviews, press releases, about what this subject says (not about this subject), or mentions, which fall short of WP:SIGCOV. In addition I'm not convinced the group-mbc.com website is reliable at all. I can't find material online either. If the Ad-Diyar article has significant coverage (apparently you have to ask the publication) I would be okay with draftify. TLA tlak 02:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC) reply

The Ad-Diyar article is primarily about the "Ibn Lebanon" club. Khalil Ziade is mentioned six times (either by name or as "he") and the article has two quotations from him. I have added an archive link to the citation template above. When I looked at the article on 20 March, it was freely available. If you cannot read Arabic, you can paste the text from the web archive version into Google Translate ("Ibn Lebanon" means "son of Lebanon" - this seems to confuse Google Translate). Note that pasting the archive URL into Google Translate does not work.-- Toddy1 (talk) 04:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Thanks for that. From what I see, there isn't enough about the subject specifically, so I'm at a firm delete now unless someone somehow finds something. TLA tlak 16:51, 4 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Speedy delete per WP:G12 and WP:TNT as press-release copyvio that no one has cared enough to write more about since 2007. Well, to be fair, some of it was copied out of the underlying article, too. For example, the PNAS abstract reads, High-resolution spectral analysis of electrical brain activity before and during visually mediated social coordination revealed a marked depression in occipital alpha and rolandic mu rhythms during social interaction that was independent of whether behavior was coordinated or not. In contrast, a pair of oscillatory components (phi1 and phi2) located above right centro-parietal cortex distinguished effective from ineffective coordination: increase of phi1 favored independent behavior and increase of phi2 favored coordinated behavior. Meanwhile, this article says, The study demonstrated a clear reduction in occipital lobe alpha wave and mu wave rhythms during social interaction. The evident suppression was independent of whether or not behavior was coordinated. In contrast, a pair of oscillatory components (phi-1 and phi-2) above the right centro-parietal cortex distinguished effective from ineffective coordination. An increase of phi-1 favored independent behavior and increase of phi-2 favored coordinated behavior. So, what wasn't ripped off from the press release was ripped off from the paper.

PROD contested. School cricket typically isn't considered notable. Eton v Harrow has historical significance, and Battle of the Blues (between Royal College and S. Thomas' College) is probably the only Sri Lankan schools match with comparative historical significance. The article also claims matches played at Test level, which is patent nonsense. In terms of references, refs 1, 2, 5 and 6 are the same and link to a summary page. Ref 3 is from 2008, so not sure how that is relevant to something in 2024. Ref 4 is WP:ROUTINE coverage. Refs 7 and 10 are Instagram, which typically isn't used as a source, and even if it is, how is this a reference?! Ref 8 is a YouTube video with a song. Ref 9 is WP:ROUTINE coverage.

Identical case to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lineage of Ether. From that discussion: "This has no secondary sources and reads like religious history homework more than a summary of a notable topic." Also, "As the nominee indicates, this subject has no secondary sources outside of apologists. Unlike the Genealogy of Jesus, there is little information outside of the Book of Mormon in regards to these individuals.

Almost everything at the reception section now are worthless. This source look like a sigcov [7], but if you actually see it only talks about its story not as a character.

  • Weak keep Den of Geek is obviously SIGCOV any way you slice it. TheGamer also has an entire listicle devoted to him, and while generally speaking listicles should be avoided, the entire thing is about him so it clearly counts as SIGCOV. That and Game Informer's "Gaming's Crappiest Fathers" piece is about enough for me to say that it does in fact weakly pass GNG, and that's when you ignore the dozens of mentions in Valnet sites like CBR and GameRant. I do think the sourcing is relatively weak, so I wouldn't oppose a merge, but there's enough here for a viable standalone article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 09:32, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: An article filled with reference bombing doesn't alters the need for clean up or removing them where three to four sources are enough. I was checking per norm to see that which is also true but moving per the sources, I was enough of WP:THREE that lied single handedly in discussing/reviewing the role of the fictional character best to me, has appeared and played by notable people; hence move forward at passing NFILMCHARACTERS. For sources, I can go with [10] and [11] from GamesRadar+, this one [12] and [13] from Gameinformer, and [14] from Den of Geek. I understand the nominators reason but here, it's just cleanup!

  • Rename and keep or merge to Fijian mythology. The cited source popping up in the Google Books search, World Mythology Lite, seems to be self-published, or am I mistaken? But I did find a number of more serious looking sources under the alternate name Ngendi, which further give the names Ngendei and Ngendel as synonyms. Under these, there are more details given, but I am not quite sure if they amount to as much that treatment as a separate article or section within an overview article would be best. No source I have seen gives Gedi as an alternative name to Ngendi, etc. Daranios ( talk) 10:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Now I see that Ndengei is actually the pronounciation of Degei, and Ndengei is used very much synonymously to Ngendi/Ngendei as in the above search. However, I've so far seen no source which equates those name variants. At the Degei article again, the fertility god which brings fire, as in Pears, is not present. So I guess move this article to Ndengi, which now redirects here, preserve the history there, and merge to Degei? Daranios ( talk) 15:24, 3 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    As far as i can tell, Gedi and Degi, or Ngedei and Ndegei, or Ngedi and Ndegi, are two different gods. GD is mostly known for earthquakes, while DG is the top god and judges people. I suspect others have confused the two. The two articles should cross-reference each other. Aymatth2 ( talk) 11:38, 4 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Rename to Ngendei and keep, based on Aymatth2's input. There seems to be a lot of parallels to both deities, very likely also due to confusion in the sources, but we have no clear indication they are the same. And we should avoid appearances of WP:SYNTH, so keeping them separate but cross-referencing sounds good to me. Until an expert can clear up the case with sources. Sorry for the repeated crossing out of my opinion, but that's a confusing case. Daranios ( talk) 15:04, 4 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Rename to Ngendei, the most common form, and keep. The Pears Encyclopaedia of Myths and Legends Savill (1978) gives Ngendi (Fiji) various attributes: Fertility god, taught how to use fire, rules the dead, supports the world, causes earthquakes, mother was a stone. The Witches' God Janet Farrar, Stewart Farrar (2012) adds that some say he created the world and people, comets are his children, he is half snake, half man. A little book of serpents by Yvonne Aburrow (2012) repeats some of these and gives the alterative spelled Ngendel. The 1983 Ngendei Seismic Refraction Experiment created data used to study oceanic crustal and upper mantle anisotropy. Presumably it was named after him. And a Google images search gives a rich trove of references to Disney's use of the concept. There is enough to demonstrate notability, and I think more than would fit into an overview.

This article clearly fails WP:N which refers to the military conflict as the "Battle of Sangamner," seems more like a skirmish, sack or devastation (raid?). Found only two reliable sources which talks around this event but both contradict each other.

  • Shivaji his life and times.. Gives more insights and it has comprehensive coverage around this conflict and even cites Shivaji own letter describing this event as a Maratha victory:"We assembled the entire army and went in person with the army near Bijapur. Considering that the enemy was strong — and particularly the Pathan tribe is obstinate — [we thought that] such tactics should be adopted that he would become disappointed and defeated. Therefore, we decided upon imposing a pull [upon the enemy] by spreading the army in his territory. Accordingly we left Dilir Khan at a distance of three gaos, crossed the Bhima River and went on devastating the country right up to Jalnapur. We went to Jalnapur, made a halt for four days and plundered the market. A large wealth fell into [our] hands. Jalnapur is [at a distance of] four gaos from Aurangabad. Disregarding that the Prince was at that place [Aurangabad] [we] sacked the market. An immense wealth, besides gold, silver, elephants and horses was found [there].While we were marching on horseback towards the fort Pattagad with that [wealth] Ranmast Khan and Asaf Khan and Zabit Khan and five or seven such officers with eight or ten thousand troopers came in the way. We chastised them, captured horses and elephants and arrived at [fort] Patta. Then [we] sent the army again to wreak havoc in the [enemy] territory and sent Moropant, the prime minister, to capture the 27 forts of the Mughals that are in the province of Baglan and Khandesh and to capture territory and we [in person] halted at [fort] Patta."
  • On the other hand Dictionary of Battles and Sieges. gives a different POV of this conflict King’s rearguard held theMughals for three days of hard fighting beforeMaratha commander Sidhoji Nimbalkar waseventually killed, along with about 2,000 of his men. The title is a fabricated one, which contradicts the criteria for creating an article about a military conflict.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:

    People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

    • If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

      The article notes: "释德扬俗名史万峰。 1967 年出生在河南太康县一个干部家庭。童年时期,他的邻居(一个出家少林寺又返俗的老人)经常向他讲起当年身穿大红袈裟,遍游名山大川的游僧生活,并私下向他传授一些少林功夫,使他幼小的心灵充满了当和尚和学习少林武术的向往。 1983 年初中一毕业,他便向父母提出了到少林寺出家的要求。在他软硬磨下,父母亲也只好同意了他的选择。他来到了梦寐以求的少林寺,拜在首座僧素喜禅师门下为徒,成了年龄最小的一名和尚。寺里生活清苦枯燥,处处受到清规戒律的约束不说,光是练功的苦,就让他吃不消。"

      From Google Translate: "Shi Deyang's common name is Shi Wanfeng. Born in 1967 in Taikang County, Henan into a cadre family. During his childhood, his neighbor (an old man who became a monk in the Shaolin Temple and returned to secular life) often told him about the life of a wandering monk who wore red cassocks and traveled to famous mountains and rivers. He also taught him some Shaolin Kungfu privately, which made his young mind Full of yearning to become a monk and learn Shaolin martial arts. After graduating from junior high school in 1983, he asked his parents to become a monk in the Shaolin Temple. After being pushed hard by him, his parents had no choice but to agree to his choice. He came to the Shaolin Temple that he dreamed of and became a disciple under the first monk, Zen Master Suxi, and became the youngest monk. Life in the temple was hard and boring, and not only was he bound by strict rules and regulations, but the hardship of practicing martial arts was too much for him."

      From Google Translate: "Master Shi Deyang was born in 1968 and started practicing martial arts at the age of 15. He is the 31st generation successor of Shaolin Kung Fu and has served as the head coach of Shaolin Temple monks for many years. Among Master Shi Deyang's apprentices, the more well-known ones are Shi Xingyu, who played "Coolie Strong" in the movie Kung Fu Hustle and "Wu Chi Lin" in Ip Man."

      From Google Translate: "Master Deyang is now the most senior person in Shaolin Temple, and abbot Shi Yongxin is two generations below him. Some college students said that Shi Yongxin is the CEO of Buddhism. He drives a BMW every day, uses a laptop, and has several secretaries.

He is the 31st Grand Master of the fighting monks and has lived in the monastery since he was nine. Considered the world's finest exponent of Shaolin kung fu, Shi De Yang was in Australia because the centre director, David Greenland, is his student."

      The article notes: "On the wall were posters of the monk we had come to see, Shi De Yang. At 28, he is one of the senior monks, in charge of teaching initiates kung fu and Buddhist doctrine. One of the posters shows Shi standing on a mountain top kicking straight up into the air - literally doing the splits vertically, the flat of his foot aimed at the sky, an intense mask of martial resolve on his face. The posters were from performance tours of Japan. He entered the room from his study in the adjoining room. He wore an orange robe that left one of his baroquely muscled shoulders bare. He shook our hands and, signaling for us to wait, disappeared outside. He returned smiling, with three ice-cold bottles of water."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Shi De Yang ( simplified Chinese: 释德扬; traditional Chinese: 釋德揚) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

    Of the sources provided, the first and third seem to be the only ones appropriate. The first because it's a good resource for his early life and how he came to be a monk and the third because it seems to be a pretty good interview.
    The second is more "he was here" than "this is about him" alongside some basic facts, which I suppose would assist the article, the fourth is much the same with less usefulness aside from where he's based (Works? Studies? Please correct me here, I'm genuinely curious) and the fifth more speaks to his character than anything else, alongside being a passing mention in a rather long article.
    There are still large swathes of the article that are completely unsourced as of yet, which really is the main concern here. CommissarDoggo Talk? 12:13, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, purpose of the article seems to be the promotion of winter resorts. Remsense 诉 22:40, 18 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Travel and tourism, Sports, and Italy. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 23:07, 18 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, the page is the literal translation of its Italian counterpart, I have not really investigated the topic in depth, but the page seems to go beyond a dictionary definition, and the bold claim that "purpose of the article seems to be the promotion of winter resorts" seems a baseless accusation, since no specific place (let alone resort name) is mentioned on the page. On the other hand, the Resort page mentions several resort names and locations, but we will certainly not delete it for that reason. Cavarrone 10:26, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    It's not baseless, it's based in the promotional tone of the entire article. Remsense 诉 16:17, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    To offer an alternative opinion, I think this is a matter of cross-wiki norms/sensitivity. There are some phrases in the article that are definitely more common/acceptable in the Italian-language Wikipedia than they are in the English-language Wikipedia, e.g.:
    • It offers an opportunity for participants to immerse themselves in a variety of snow-related activities amidst the scenic Alpine landscapes.
    • It provides a chance for individuals and families to bond over shared experiences and create lasting memories amidst the snow-covered peaks.
    A tell-tale sign that this isn't intended as a promotional article is that it's not clear what it's promoting other than "go and ski in Italy", but "skiing in Italy" is likely a viable article if an interested editor took the time to write it (cf. Skiing in Australia, Skiing in Lebanon, Skiing in India). In any case, AfD isn't clean-up, and it seems fairly easy to rescue the topic from the current article's language.

  • Keep. This isn't really a dictionary definition; it's a national social-cultural event/season, which easily returns significant coverage in reliable sources (here's a quick search of Italian newspapers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). For an example of coverage we expect to see, see this article in La Repubblica. As an alternative to deletion, a redirect to Sport in Italy#Winter sports would be viable. If Skiing in Italy existed, there would be a strong case for a merge. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 14:19, 7 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per IgnatiusofLondon's accurate analysis above. I invite users to improve the language as they see fit, but as I said above wording problems are an unwanted effect of the very literal translation from it.wiki. I don't see a "promotion of winter resorts" intent on the page, which is a very general overview of the cultural phenomenon, without any mention of specific places or resorts. The page goes beyond a dictionary definition, and there are enough sources available to be eventually expanded to a B-Class/good level. Cavarrone 08:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Normally an unreferenced BLP (biography of a living person) would be grounds enough for deletion per WP:BLPPROD, but it looks like this article escaped deletion due to the corresponding article on Japanese Wikipedia, which cites many sources. Perhaps a compromise would be to redirect to the band NMB48 if no citations are added. It could always be re-created as an article if/when an editor gets around to adding citations and possibly expanding it with more meaningful biographical information.

Starting a formal AfD as an editor objects to this article being a redirect. This group's claim to fame is their Eurovision Song Contest 2016 appearance, and all references included in the article and through an internet search appear to pertain to that appearance. Per WP:ONEEVENT, I propose a redirect to Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, which is a good article and includes all notable endeavors by this group in greater detail and with additional context. Grk1011 ( talk) 14:58, 11 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I just want to re-emphasize the WP:1E aspect of this since folks keep bringing up WP:MN, for which criterion #10 states that if the notable endeavor is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Additionally #12 states that the subject has to be the featured subject, which I take to mean not just a participant in the event. As an internal selection candidate from Greece, they weren't even winners or featured subjects of a national selection event. No information at all is lost by a redirect. Grk1011 ( talk) 12:46, 15 March 2024 (UTC) reply
It's a notable endeavor, but it appears it's the only notable thing they've done. Prior to ESC, they were not really known, even in Greece, and they haven't released any noteworthy material after Eurovision either. As this whole article is about them in relation to Eurovision, the redirect seems natural. This is not a request for deletion. Grk1011 ( talk) 13:45, 13 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Reiterating my support for a redirect; Grk1011 is right to point out that WP:1E has a very big part in this AfD process which I believe the majority of responses above have failed to take into account. WP:MUSICBIO point 10, which has been outlined above, in fact explicitly points to 1E and suggests that a redirect may be more appropriate. As for point 12 of MUSICBIO, I'm not sure I see how being one participant in a contest with over 40 other participants counts as being a "featured subject", especially when the group were chosen internally by the Greek broadcaster and were therefore not part of a "substantial broadcast segment", such as a national selection show. Regarding Eurovision participation being seen as notable in itself, there are several other previous Eurovision participants whose articles are either redirects or do not exist for the very simple fact that Eurovision was their only notable achievement, hence falling down on 1E. There's nothing within this article that isn't already expressly presented within Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, which is a much better article to cover all aspects of the group's participation in the only event in which they are anyway notable.

    • I feel like a broken record, but as has been pointed out, this isn't a matter of whether they are notable, but whether they meet 1E (notable for more than one event). Guidelines are clear that articles for subjects that are notable for only one event should be redirected to that event where their activity is described in much more detail.

  • Keep per BabbaQ. Meets NMUSIC points 10 and 12. Note past precedent from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sestre (drag act), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarah Bonnici and no consensus close on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Max Jason Mai all with Delete voters citing BLP1E in the context of Eurovision. On a non-deletion argument related note, I'm incredibly skeptical of the idea of "merge info to Eurovision page" given the mass redirection of Eurovision artists to these pages resulted in... a failure to do exactly that, like with S!sters being redirected (without consensus) and no new info being added to Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019, resulting in the page not even containing the names of the artists in the group. Sigh. Anyway, I vote keep. ser! ( chat to me - see my edits) 13:38, 2 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    Regarding your point around a failure to merge information previously, in the case of this article almost the entire contents of the article is already contained within Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, so any merging that would need to happen is ridiculously miniscule.

    Apologies for missing that during the redirect of Sisters, but in my defense, it was because the group members were only in the infobox and not in the written parts; everything written was already in the target article.

Wikipedia is not a statistics database. It seems entirely random to list the top 50 in a given event, with an international final only consisting of 8 or 9 competitors, whereas the wider field reaching as far down as top 50 are never talked about as an interconnected group. Why not top 25? Or top 100? Category:Year rankings in athletics is still a fledgling project, so it's time to nip it in the bud. Geschichte ( talk) 21:06, 11 March 2024 (UTC) reply

The top two or three 60 metres sprinters in any given year are very frequently talked about as a group, as the 60 metres is the marquee event of indoor athletics – by far the most popular and documented event as the shortest in all of athletics. It's also important because it's covered as a bellwether for the outdoor season, as proven by the fact that leading the 2021 60 m was arguably Marcel Jacobs' biggest accomplishment before winning the 2021 Olympic 100 m title later that year. Despite there being no World Athletics Indoor Championships in 2021, there was still a men's and women's European Championship, a NCAA Championship and an entire indoor World Tour that had many world class men's and women's 60 m races. Here are some relevant articles focusing on the 60m during that season:
Most importantly, Category:Year rankings in athletics articles serve an important structural need as they are linked to for context in Category:Events at athletics (track and field) competitions, for example see the link from "World Leading" at this page. They are also useful to be linked to in the "season's bests" sections of Category:Events in track and field articles.

  • Reply Individual competitions being covered or Marcell Jacobs performing well do not lend relevance to a list of unrelated performers. This is a list and therefore the athletes in it have to be covered as a group, otherwise it fails WP:NOT. Habst provides no policy-based reason to keep the article, and instead showcases the same synthesizing reasoning as at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2015 World Youth Championships in Athletics – Boys' javelin throw: A medium wrote about the world ranking once, therefore Wikipedia must list a large portion of the world ranking. Geschichte ( talk) 08:48, 12 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Geschichte, I really appreciate and in fact agree with your arguments about the top 50 being unwarranted. But again, while that is a good reason for limiting the scope of the article that isn't a valid reason for deletion under P&G. None of the articles I linked mention world ranking, nor does this article; the world ranking is different than the event as a whole in that year.
    Looking at WP:NOT, I think you're referring to WP:NOTCATALOG prong 2, which specifically carves out, Wikipedia also includes reference tables and tabular information for quick reference. WP:NOT doesn't say anything about lists having to be covered as a group (the word "group" only appears 4 times on that page in other contexts). I think the more relevant policy is WP:NLIST, which specifically says Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability, and I discussed the navigational/informational aids (in world lead lists and event lists) above. Thanks, -- Habst ( talk) 12:24, 12 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    "Limiting the scope of the article". What article? There is no article here, just two statistical lists swiped from WA. WP:NOTSTATS applies, and as a list its informational purposes run afoul of WP:SYNTH. Yes, athletics fans understand them and can interpret them, which is why several statistic websites, including the article's only sources, provide year lists just fine. Geschichte ( talk) 12:46, 12 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Geschichte, I understand you're being sarcastic, but of course it is a list article because it contains a list. The fact that it's unexplained per WP:NOTSTATS means that we should explain it; this is only an argument for deletion if you think that it's impossible to reasonably explain the subject.
    WP:SYNTH does not apply here, taking the two main points:
    • Does it combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any source? No, the article doesn't reach any "conclusion" not stated by sources.
    • Does it combine different parts of one source to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by the source? No, same reasoning.
    The important policy point here for WP:NLIST is the navigational and informational aid, as when someone goes to the 2021 European Athletics Indoor Championships – Men's 60 metres page, it's helpful to click the "world lead" button and see the landscape of the 60 metres in that year leading in to the competition.
    Also, I think that your argument (which, to be fair, I fully agree with except for I don't think it is a reason for deletion) applies to all 72 pages in Category:Year rankings in athletics. Can you edit the nomination to include them all, so we won't have to re-hash this conversation 71 other times in the future? Thanks, -- Habst ( talk) 13:25, 12 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. This consists mainly of text lifted from another source, and as such it may violate copyright. In any case, why limit it to 2020/21? Are no more recent data available? Athel cb ( talk) 10:49, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Athel cb, the reason why it is limited to 2020–21 is because the 60 metres international yearly circuit is primarily contested from December to March (i.e. overlapping two calendar years). For an overview of all years, you can just click on the 60 metres page but this is limited to just one season of competition. For example 2020–21 NFL playoffs is limited to just one season of the NFL Playoffs while NFL playoffs covers all seasons.
    Understanding this, what do you think? Also, to address your copyright concerns, we can limit the list in size and make the article primarily about the international medalists that year, i.e. discuss this race, this race, this 60 m race, this one, and these 60 m races and make it less about just one list. Thanks, -- Habst ( talk) 16:23, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    So far as your first paragraph is concerned, OK. So far as the second is concerned I think you need to do more to avoid copyright violation. Athel cb ( talk) 16:45, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Athel cb, I don't want to derail the conversation too much but my understanding is that simple lists of sports results (in this case, names and times) without any element of creative curation (the times are simply listed from fastest to slowest with no advanced analysis done) is not copyrightable in the U.S., not falling into any of the categories here ( source). FWIW, there is actually an identical list independently compiled on WP:Tilastopaja here so it's not like this data is unique to World Athletics. Simply Googling each name and time in quotes shows that most entries have associated news coverage about them, so it wouldn't be too difficult to add a cite for each row. Thanks, -- Habst ( talk) 17:40, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    For example, there are large tables of information in articles like Athletics at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's decathlon, but I don't think the Wikipedia community considers this a copyright violation because it's simply a list of sporting results, as long as our prose-based analysis is not copied. -- Habst ( talk) 17:54, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Relisting comment: Final relist. Reviewing this discussion again, I don't see a consensus but I have some questions that were brought up by editors here. First, Top 60 does seem like an arbitrary cut-off point. But, as mentioned, this could be addressed through editing. And it does seem like Wikipedia has a variety of articles like this like Athletics at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's decathlon as mentioned so having an article with a table of sports results has an established place on the project. So, what I'm wondering is about this page move suggested, would editors arguing for Delete be okay if this content was moved to exist under the umbrella of a relevant WikiProject while the content was edited and improved? This would be with the caveat that the page couldn't just be moved back to main space. What do you think?

  • Weak keep – I perfectly understand the nomination and the problems that this list presents, but I consider that the 100m race (60m during the pandemic period) is the noblest in athletics, and a list of best times is not unnecessarily just a random list like in some sport with less notability. I see potential/logic in the article. Svartner ( talk) 04:24, 8 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment – A significant portion of this content (including artists) should be merged with existing pages.

  • Comment/Neutral - I feel Wikipedia should have some complete/official record/list of DDR songs, because it just seems right, and in 2024, it won't seem right if there isn't one. Majority of the content on this article, especially the initial contributions are from me. However at the time, the article was titled "List of Dance Dance Revolution songs", which I felt made more sense, as it was a list article, which are very common on Wikipedia. One issue was that sources weren't being added to the article, but I guess maybe some loophole on original research was being allowed? I don't know what rules or procedures were going on, which allowed not only me, but other DDR fanatics/hobbyists to add thousands of footnotes/songs, but I guess a simple Google search, or knowing how big the DDR arcade fandom is (and also home console versions), everyone knows that Butterfly, B4U, and Max 300 are DDR songs even though sources weren't technically added by approved sources, so it's confusing. It wasn't until a name change of the article to "Music of Dance Dance Revolution" which happened a few years ago, to where I feel the article got out of hand, and I feel the article became a bit confusing, and it was no longer a list/record article (which are common) and it was more of, well, something else, I can't really find the words to explain, but I hope I'm being understood. I suggested that the article be deleted, but it was more wordplay, and pulling on heartstrings, and I guess I was being sarcastic/cynical, because I actually don't want this article to be deleted. However, if rules are rules, technically according to wiki rules, this article doesn't have a single source, but it doesn't necessarily mean the content is incorrect (actually it isn't, everything added to this article is correct), it's just for some reason Konami doesn't have any official websites listing the songs, except for fan sites like DDRfreak, and other video game blogs. So it's tough. I may add more to say later, but this is all I have to say for now. ☼Phrasia☼ ( talk) 03:20, 21 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - Article has been on Wikipedia (at least to my knowledge since 2009) a very long time, and I felt originally torn because it was unsourced, but again I feel although deleting seems to be the right approach, I personally after thinking about it, disagree, and I want the article to stay, with possibly more DDR fans would understand where I'm coming from with this. Please. Oh dear. ☼Phrasia☼ ( talk) 10:46, 21 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Being that this Afd still isn't concluded, I still feel torn, as funnily enough, I was the one who suggested the Afd in the first place, but then I began to regret that, and I feel the article should stay. Although, I'll respect the final decision, either or. However, I feel I'll add that another conclusion I'll be happy with if the article was redirected to "List of Dance Dance Revolution Franchise songs" or "List of Dance Dance Revolution Series songs" as the article is supposed to be a gateway/archive, as there have been hundreds of DDR editions/releases, so if the article is allowed to stay in some form, I'd be happy with that. As far as sources being added, I was hoping a consensus on that could also be made, although video game fan sites don't seem to be allowed sources, but I don't know. But again, I'll respect whatever the final outcome of the consensus is. ☼Phrasia☼ ( talk) 09:01, 2 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I think the original nomination and then Zxcvbnm summed it well. An unsourced database of songs that appear in the series of games is more suitable for its own Wikia then here. Wikipedia is not a WP:DIRECTORY and WP:GNG is not satisfied as I haven't been able to find anything beyond more listings in other sites. Phrasia's keep argument has been countered already and redirecting it to the main article LABcrabs accomplishes nothing because this is a broader concept that currently isn't in that article. Merging this, of course, makes even less sense given it's 1) unsourced/poorly sourced and 2) WP:SIZE issues. Jovanmilic97 ( talk) 09:43, 4 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Dance Dance Revolution. I did a source check and did find WP:SIGCOV discussing the music generally:
However, I also agree with Zxcvbnm in that this is more of a list of DDR songs article and that violates WP:NOTDATABASE and WP:NOTCHANGELOG. And I don't think a re-write without the list would be long enough such that it would need to be WP:SPLIT. Jumpytoo Talk 03:40, 7 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Comment, If I may interject, "Wikipedia is not a database or a log", that usually applies to software, hardware, patch notes, log files etc., technology related topics etc. This, (and I think is where the misconception is) is a discography/music/soundtrack, pop culture list/archive/records article etc. (originally titled "List of DDR songs", which was made as there are hundreds of DDR arcade/amusement/event and home fusion releases etc., and it was much more simpler that way to create a paramount article of all the songs etc.), and I feel the rules are slightly different. The problem is, the article was renamed to "Music of DDR" (which I had nothing to do with), so maybe there is some confusion, as this is a list article, (or was intended to be), and again I'm sorry, I feel I understand sources should be added (whether Youtube videos, Dancemania/Universal EMI album releases, strategy guides, game manuals etc.) which say what the songs are, as opposed to Konami which for some reason no longer keeps tabs of the music/songs in the franchise on their website anymore. So again I feel the article should be redirected to "List of Dance Dance Revolution songs", being tagged as a music/pop culture/discography/soundtrack "list article", which are allowed. I'll also add I can understand if people disagree with me, but another suggestion, is making list simpler to understand, highlighting and noting songs which are on what editions by section/page breaks, and whether they are still in the franchise or not. etc. So I just wanted to defend the fact on whether the article is allowed on wiki (which I feel it would be under a "list" article, and whether size/aesthetics would be a concern (which I gave suggestions). So just wanted to add some more commentary. Thank you. ☼Phrasia☼ ( talk) 01:10, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Can you cite the guideline which discusses the relevancy of vote totals when discussing notability?-- User:Namiba 01:16, 2 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Keep - the amount of votes a candidate got is irrelevant. What is relevant is their coverage in multiple reliable sources, and this article passes WP:GNG. The article is a little brief, but that can be fixed at the article and is not a valid reason for deletion. I am not aware of a guideline about vote totals being a determiner of notability either.

  • Merge to Mimi Soltysik. The coverage of an unknown fringe candidate is not significant enough to warrant a separate article for the campaign. I see no reason why these sources can't be included there. Reywas92 Talk 13:40, 2 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I agree with you, and have changed my position above. Thanks. — Maile ( talk) 14:14, 2 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete there's no meat on the bone here. There are a couple articles which note appearances, but I think SYNTH is an issue and I don't think this passes GNG. SportingFlyer T· C 17:04, 2 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Comment - This is deletion nomination #2. The first one was a keep Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mimi Soltysik presidential campaign, 2016. — Maile ( talk) 23:13, 2 April 2024 (UTC) reply
That was a WP:BADNAC that no one called out, consensus was clearly to merge. SportingFlyer T· C 23:48, 2 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per @ Reywas92, the campaign itself is not independently notable but no reason the information cannot be retained in the subject's main article. It is a short article and has little to say apart from the campaign itself. The previous result was keep/merge, we should now just actually do it.
