Does not pass WP:GNG. Despite many references, I cannot find non-trivial coverage in reliable, independent sources. Many references are to the magazine's website itself or to Facebook posts. May be promotional in nature. Ganesha811 (talk) 22:58, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment it is worth noting that taking out all the facebook.com references dropped the number of sources from 89 to 69. The page seems to have a lot of trivial information. For example:

"The header featured a photograph of an orange-colored clouded sky with a sun setting behind the roof of a house and a moon crescent above it.[45] The logo was designed using the Ariosto font in orange color; the font (in the same orange color) has continued to be used for most of the Koczan-designed graphics on the website to this day. The header also featured the subtext Patet Non Pervium, a Latin phrase roughly translating to passing is not clear;"

and "The Obelisk's header and logo received a make-over. The second logo was designed using the Latin font, italicized, in black color, with the i in Obelisk replaced by a tall, black, pointy obelisk.[49] The header featured a digitally illustrated sun eclipsed by the upper point of the obelisk from the logo, with the sun's orange and brown wavy rays spreading across the landscape, and casting black shadows from behind the logo over a grey-surfaced bottom."

This is the second of a number of AfDs involving articles by the same creator. As is true of their other articles, deletion is the best solution as repairing the article would take what amounts to a huge amount of time. --- Possibly (talk) 23:16, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Possibly, and the majority of what is left is sourced to The Obelisk! This and the other creations seem like possible UPE. Netherzone (talk) 23:57, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Another bloated article where the content and citations are puffed up to give the appearance of notability. Most of the sourcing is primary, and most of that is to the Obelisk itself. Other sources are to blogs or other unreliable sources, or doesn't mention the subject. If sigcov in rs's are found I would consider changing my !vote, but at this point I can't see it passing GNG.

  • Weak Delete this article has been a mess, which we could fix via editing/protection, if there were sources, but as the nom says, the references are passing. They were the sum total of what I could find when I found this in the BLP PROD queue in April. In hindsight, might not have been worth rescuing but I thought there might be some sourcing eventually.

  • Keep. Hymes has voiced characters in major series for many episodes, particularly Pokemon. She's also received coverage for some of her other roles. Now if it were a live action actress I'd be a bit more hesitant, but the issue here is that voice actors typically don't receive the coverage that they would if they were in front of the camera. It's one of the reasons why I wish that there was a slight tweak to the NACTOR guidelines for voice actors. I think that there's enough notability here to warrant at least a weak keep. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 12:48, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changing to a firmer keep. I've found quite a bit of coverage for her roles in the Lupin and Snow Queen series. This, plus her role in the Pokemon series should be enough to establish notability. There's not a ton of coverage, but we make do with what we can. One note: a common trend with VAs is that often, the reviews will mention their character but not their name. This is kind of an example by what I mean when I say that they don't get the coverage that a "live action" actor would, as they'd often get named alongside the characters they portray.

Five Forks, Kentucky edit

Five Forks, Kentucky (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Rennick tells us that this is a 5-way road intersection with A store building on the right. Several homes in the vic. Searching is difficult because the Battle of Five Forks in Virginia muddies the searching waters, but what I can establish is that there was a Five Forks voting precinct formed in 1920. I did find a newspaper announcement giving the boundaries of the precinct, which include much more than our intersection, so apparently the road junction and the precinct are not quite equivalent. There is also a private road in a subdivision of Pewee Valley, Kentucky, but that is elsewhere in the state. I can find passing mentions of the precinct in Lawrence County as late as 1934, but the only significant coverage I can find is the official boundaries announcement, which just gives the boundaries and nothing really about what the precinct contained.

The intersection doesn't seem to be notable, and I'm doubting the precinct is. Hog Farm Talk 21:19, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's not in Rennick 2016 which goes straight from "FITCHBURG" to "FIXER". The placename card in the Rennick Collection says what is in the nomination and notes that it's simply three river forks that go off in five directions from there. However, the GNIS isn't sourced to Rennick for this record, but is sourced to Rennick for a different record ("Five Forks Hill", Geographic Names Information System, United States Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior) in a different place (38°38′04″N 082°39′00″W / 38.63444°N 82.65000°W / 38.63444; -82.65000) about 80 kilometres away. And even that does not match up with Bing Maps (Maxar/TomTom) and topographic maps that put that Five Forks at 38°36′53″N 82°33′42″W / 38.614803°N 82.561721°W / 38.614803; -82.561721 instead. So this Five Forks is not Rennick's Five Forks either, and even that's dodgy because it's not the Five Forks in yet a third place. Finding sources is just impossible, not only because of the battle, but because once one gets past that there's Rennick and the fact that there are multiple undistinguished Five Forks on the map in the same county.

    Summary: This only cites the GNIS as a source; and it isn't verifiable through Rennick, nor otherwise apart from multiple occurrences of the same name in different places on a topographical map. Uncle G (talk) 10:52, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article does not establish notability under WP:GNG or WP:CREATIVE. A BEFORE does not bring up significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources, except for one LA Times article from 2001. In addition, the current article is an WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of information sourced from WP:PRIMARY sources, including Instagram, Linkedin, Pinterest or search results from the Internet Archive. It looks like a significant portion of the article is WP:SYNTH. As a result, the article should in any case be WP:TNTed. JBchrch talk 21:16, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete the creator plunked down a 125KB article as the first version of this. (For comparison, our article on Leonardo DaVinci is 125KB. Lowly Pablo Picasso is not as big as Koelsch, at only 104KB.) This article is so spectacularly bloated that there is no hope in determining notability by using anything in it. In fact, it poisons reasonable discussion because so much of it is either puffed up, mis-stated or just plain old lies. This is hall of fame puffery and exaggeration: 259 sources? I spent time removing Instagram and Abebooks, but there isn't enough time. I am hopeful that way is discovered soon to prevent the creator (who seems to be a seasoned promotional editor; here they are linking one of their new articles to 180 other articles) from making more articles like this one, as it is detrimental to our mission of neutrality. --- Possibly (talk) 21:51, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This is a clear case where WP:TNT is called for. I also agree that both the article and the efforts to add links to it into scores of other articles seem promotional. Does not seem to pass WP:GNG - almost all mentions are trivial. WP:CREATIVE standard also not met. Ganesha811 (talk) 21:58, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Just when you think you've seen everything here, something like this shows up. I am in agreement that this is a solid case of WP:TNT as the article, even in it's somewhat pruned state is vastly bloated and inflated and unencyclopedic. It's impossible to determine what is real. The LA Times article is good but all of the other refs I examined (who has time to review 200+ refs?) were trivia with no bearing on notability requirements of GNG or NARTIST. Obviously a PROMO creation. Netherzone (talk) 22:14, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • If I had to start somewhere, it would be removing all the citations to shannon associates, goodreads, pintrest, amazon, instagram. discogs and all the other sources that are definitely not independent reliable sources. It's so full of unusable sources that it's almost impossible to tell if there is something that does meet our needs. The only thing that stands out for me is the latimes. Vexations (talk) 22:52, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vexations: I agree that is a good approach. But in this case, when I tried that is is extremely time-consuming, as the refs are named with numbers and the article is very densely populated with sources. To remove each amazon source, for example, one has to find the source, copy the ref number, delete the source and then search for each time it was used as a named ref. And that's just to cut one bad source out. I also discovered that if you miss one numbered source, AnomieBot will come back later and rescue the junk source! Here's AnomieBot happily adding back a bunch of Instagram and linkedin Sources. --- Possibly (talk) 03:45, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I want to make sure I do due diligence, so I have looked up every online source that is referenced in the article. It is possible that I've missed something, but the current sourcing, to the best of my knowledge, does not establish that the subject is notable. There is no significant, in-depth coverage of the subject in multiple independent, reliable sources. Vexations (talk) 22:32, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article about an "upcoming" television series, not properly sourced as passing WP:TVSHOW. In actual fact, this is currently verifiable only as a pilot, which has not yet been upfronted by any Canadian television network as advancing to series -- but that violates TVSHOW, which explictly states that unaired pilots are not notable. So no prejudice against recreation later in the year if a television network actually picks it up and airs it, but the filming of an as-yet-unsold pilot is not grounds for a Wikipedia article per se, and a small serving of "pilot filmed in local area" coverage in the local media is not enough to hand it a permanent exemption from having to get upfronted first.

    • Poppified, Thank you for the ping. Yes, I have reviewed this entity 5 months ago. And, at that time, I had consulted with Prolix before taking a decision. The conversation is well documented on the entity's talk page. We let it pass because of its independent sources and tagged it as a WP:STUB, so that other editors can add something to it. To contest this AfD, one has to do proper "page source analysis". I'm adding it below (in this discussion) along with my vote. But, in the end - we should always go ahead with the general consensus. - Hatchens (talk) 14:22, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SAGE Publishing LINK YES (Independent Author) YES (Preview is available on Google Books) YES This can be considerable In agreement with GermanKity. Fails ORGIND - the founder provided the text for the book (says it in foreword)
The Indian Express LINK YES (But, no name mentioned) YES WP:INDIANEXP Passable Mention Announcement/PR It's written by a staff writer. Will stick to WP:INDIANEXP and according to it...it's reliable. Fails ORGIND, announcement by partner. Fails CORPDEPTH, no info provided on company, bare mention-in-passing
The Hindu LINK YES YES WP:THEHINDU Passable Mention Passing Mention It's written by a staff writer. Will stick to WP:THEHINDU and according to it...it's reliable. Fails ORGIND - relies on information provided by company/execs
The entity clearly passes WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV/WP:CORPDEPTH (coverage in an academic book), and WP:THREE(as per WP:RSP). If anyone feels otherwise, then feel free to add to this discussion.

  • Dear GermanKity, thank you for adding your comments. But, your analysis is wrong w.r.t most of the sources (except the Times of India one, fourth from the bottom). Kindly refer to WP:RSP, tally all the sources, refer to the individual discussions (of mentioned sources) and duly match it with reference to this entity... once again. - Hatchens (talk) 05:22, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Mainly per WP:CORPDEPTH. These sources are relatively flimsy, and even those which might appear superficially reliable smell like churnalism. Sources do not explain why this is notable, they merely list routine business "partnerships" and similar buzzwords. The mention of a Stevie Award is an especially bad sign. Grayfell (talk) 21:04, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This is an interesting discussion and raises right questions - that if there are regular announcements by companies about ongoing activities, partnership et al - do they count towards notability or not. I am also trying to establish WP:THREE here. There is consensus that the book counts towards notability; so that's one. Now let's see if we can find two more. What do we think about Forbes article [1]? It came in print and is written by staff writer. What about [2]? Written by a staff writer. Business standard is surely reliable. It has a lot of quotes from the company but it also discusses the company and activities outside what they are saying about themselves. Another one written by a staff writer [3] at Live Mint which looks alright. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 10:21, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Lots of different takes and confusion above but in my opinion, much of the confusion above stems from 2 things. The first, some editors are looking at the wrong guidelines and putting far too much emphasis on WP:RS. RS is probably the lowest standard to reach. The correct guideline for an organization is WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH. Second, nobody has mentioned WP:ORGIND and the fact that a reference must pass both CORPDEPTH *and* ORGIND - it isn't an either/or situation. Just about all of the references in that table above fails ORGIND. For example, this from entrepreneur.com recites verbatim an interview with the CEO and has no "Independent Content" - a clear failure of ORGIND. It doesn't matter in the slightest if a journalist puts their name on the article or not - that doesn't make the content "Independent Content". According to the ORGIND definition for Independent Content, the article must contain "original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject". Not a single one of those references meets the NCORP criteria. HighKing++ 13:31, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi HighKing, Thank you for the well explanation. GermanKity (talk) 11:28, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]


  • Comment Thanks HighKing! I think what you have said is very important and should always be remembered. What do you think about [4]? There is no disagreement that this company has created probably hundreds of sources with PR or other means. I am just trying to see that in midst of all those useless sources, are there any that would indicate notability. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 13:48, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Everything here is based on promotionalism or is a mere notice.. A promotional interview published in an otherwise reliable source is a promotional interview, and doeasn't count for notability and is not actually reliable for anything at all, it -- it just represents what the company wants to say. My analysis here is independent of Highking's, or any of the others', which I will look at only after I finish this. . I'm looking for myself, and anyone who !voted keep should actualy read the sources also.
  • Entrepreneur India is just such an interview. The job of a PR person is to get such interviews, The article is not written by a deputy editor. It's published under their name, but almost every substantial word in it is written by the company president,, or, morel likely, their PR person. There is complete consensus in NCORP. that such such interviews are not independent: We don't even know that there ever was an actual interview.
  • Economic Times 1 is a classicc notice. Its the notice of an announcement of a branch offoce, and it doesn't matter who wrote it or where it was published, but. it looks like they just reprinted a press release.
  • ET 2 I can't see, but its apparently a notice of financial reports..
  • ET 3 is an afrticle about the industry. The SL section is a reprint of their standard press release.
  • Forbes India is a general article about the idia, composed of promotional interview with 3 companies. That's d a little more subtle than Entrpreneur India, but thats still what it is. Not indpendent.
  • Hindu Business Line is a compilation of press releases, and SL gets only a small amount of coverage. Even if this compilation is regarded as is editorial, not pR, it's not substation
  • Financial Express. Only 1 paragraph in a geneeal story is about SL, and that's a quote from the owner.:
  • HBL 2 Everything based on what the company chose to tell them
  • Times of India This one is a quite good story by a reporter, but it covers 9 firms in one paragraph each. SL got 2 inconspicuous sentences in a logn story. Not substantial.
  • Sage book (Sage is a second-rate business publisher .) Kites in a Hurricane: Startups from Cradle to Fame There's a small section, 3 pages in a 273 p. book, titlred "Simplelearn: The Founders Experience" that about describes it.. Not independent.
  • Indian Express It's not about SL, its an announcement of a program from IIT that uses their technology. Unsubstantial announcement
  • The Hindu Fairly good story about the effect of IT. They use a quote from SL. along with quotes from numerous other firms. Not substantial, not independent.
The notability policy that applies here is NCORP, which makes it clear what sources are RS for companies and what sources are not. It isn't the name of the publication. It's who actually wrote the material, and what it says. There is no completely reliable source, in India, the US, or anywhere else. The reliability depends on the subject, and varies from story to story. Most business publications are a mix of real news, analysis, and promotionalism . A good publication has relatively little that's just promotionalism , but it's never or almost never the case that it has none at all. If they did, the PR profession would be out of business. What this analaysis says in general about the publications, is that the Times of India and The Hindu (but not necessarily their business section) sometime publish real journalism--That's what we thought about them before--but the items in question here , though independent, are not substantial coverage.
But what's at stake is not WP:N--variations in what we cover are relatively insignificant. It's one of our fundamental policies, WP:V. The very purpose of an encyclopedia is to provide nPOV verifiable information. What a company says about itself is not reliable as a source for anything that's going to be NPOV. It can only be used to give the opinion of the owners about their firm, and may or may not have any relation to reality. It does not matter where it's printed. Even if it's printed in a good RS , it still just shows what the owners want to say about themselves. If we compromise on this, we lose our purpose and are no better than google. Google prints what the companies say also. DGG ( talk ) 20:43, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nomadicghumakkad, this is the best explanation one can ask for. As a reviewer of this article, I'm pretty much convinced with DGG and others. Besides that, the reliability of Livemint is yet to be ascertained. Also, I'm convinced with HighKing assessment -> we're "looking at the wrong guidelines and putting far too much emphasis on WP:RS." We've to look beyond it. -Hatchens (talk) 03:43, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The current article is based entirely on an interview (a primary source, so not enough to meet GNG) and an unclear citation to what appears to be a page written by the subject herself. I could not find anything further about this person online, except for social media profiles, book sales websites and the like. Her promotion of alternative medicine (saying she couldn't be cured by "allopathic medicine") and shamanism doesn't even appear to have attracted sufficient attention to be criticised.

Fails WP:NACTOR, as it doesn't meet any of the three points.

  • Keep I've seen articles in worse shape and are still kept.

    @TDKR Chicago 101 I accept that the sources back up everything that's said in the article, the problem is the sources entirely depend on primary sources for his personal life. Do you have any comments as to his notability? Uses x (talkcontribs) 04:08, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Sourcing seems adequate to me. He also has a full-article obit in the New York Times. Articles have survived AFD with much less. Are any specific claims being contested? The man had a memorable role in a major sitcom, and many people are curious about the man’s life, so I hope this can be resolved soon. Zagalejo (talk) 02:45, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I added a couple sources I found in NewsBank -- one of which even predates The Office. Zagalejo (talk) 03:50, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Zagalejo The main concern is notability. For the closest point in WP:NACTOR that applies, he needs to have "significant roles" (plural), while even his role in The Office is up for debate as for significance. The policy exists to stop Wikipedia:PSEUDO biographies which the article currently is, where his single role in The Office is the primary focus. Uses x (talkcontribs) 03:57, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think the article is reasonably balanced as it is, and I've seen additional "non-Office" facts that haven't been included yet. I also think the page easily satisfies the General notability guideline, which would trump the actor guideline. (But even the actor guideline seems to allow for some wiggle room. Depending on how generous you are, one can argue that he satisfies points 2 and 3. I certainly remembered him from his role on The Office, and there are plenty of Office fans out there who remember his scenes very well. He did make an impact in his supporting role.) Zagalejo (talk) 04:13, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For the WP:GNG route, the details about his personal life would need to be secondary sources, while all the sources make it clear they're getting the information straight from his personal site and his obituary, and so they are still primary sources for that information. I saw even the NYT obituary does this. If there are sources repeating the same information before his death I will consider this satisfied, and I'll withdraw this nomination. Uses x (talkcontribs) 04:24, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There is a fairly large amount of information from newspaper databases like NewsBank. I've added a few of those articles as sources. He was being written about, in some detail, long before his death. Zagalejo (talk) 04:32, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdrawn by nominator While his personal life is still almost entirely based on the primary sources I've stated above, with the addition of the newspapers in mind (specifically, the expansion of his advocacy work, so that his article is not all about The Office), I've decided it's best to give the benefit of the doubt that it meets WP:GNG rather than support the deletion of what is now, in my eyes, a good article.

China exclusion policy of NASA edit

China exclusion policy of NASA (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The topic itself does not appear to meet WP:GNG. The current citations in the article about the policy itself are two primary source references (one being an appropriations act passed by congress, one being letter written by a U.S. House of Reps member). Another source is a 2010 AFP piece about how a NASA administrator was going to visit China that occurred prior to the passage of the appropriations rider that the article appears to be about. Other sources present don't appear to describe the policy in detail.

I've tried to find in-depth sources on the policy/appropriations rider itself, but I admit that I cannot find significant coverage. The article appears to have additional problems (the title doesn't appear to meet WP:COMMONNAME and doesn't appear to meet WP:CRITERIA owing to its lack of precision). The problems present (both regarding notability and other items) motivate me to nominate this article for deletion. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 16:45, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Withdrawing nomination and support Keep There is significant coverage of the article's topic as the "Wolf Amendment". Admittedly I did not encounter or search that term prior to the nomination, though I did make an effort to search for the China Exclusion Policy of NASA and other similar terms. It might be wise to look towards a movement of the article title towards what appears to be its WP:COMMONNAME, but it's clear that there's significant coverage, as established by Volteer1 and BrxBrx. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 19:13, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, although perhaps a single sentence or two could be salvaged and placed in NASA and / or China–United States relations. Overall this doesn't seem to have enough cohesive coverage as a single unified topic to justify an article. As it is this article has a WP:SYNTHy feel to it - taking a bunch of disconnected stories, tying them around public law 113-6 (which has almost no direct coverage), and giving it an intensely overbearing name to make it sound far more significant than it is. But public Law 113-6 has almost no news coverage and its only impact seems to have been a single incident, which itself received minimal coverage and was quickly resolved. --Aquillion (talk) 17:31, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That would probably just be because you're searching for the wrong thing, I don't think anyone calls it that. See below, try "Wolf amendment" for instance. ‑‑Volteer1 (talk) 07:31, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • KeepMerge with Space policy of the United States, as I agree with Aquillion that there's some useful information. The policy still exists and it's still getting the occasional news piece (e.g. spacenews.com in February), and as the article still gets a lot of interest there's no point in deleting it entirely. The article still needs a lot of truncation and work, however. Keep certainly isn't suitable as the article also concerns the Office of Science and Technology Policy, and at least needs a rename. Uses x (talkcontribs) 17:51, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm happy with the new name so I've changed from merge to keep. As I said above there's useful information and it's still relevant and important, so delete is not applicable in my view. Uses x (talkcontribs) 22:36, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep What if the page title is changed to reflect what the article is about? Maybe it could be titled NASA China policy, NASA ban on Chinese engagement, or U.S. ban on NASA engagement with China?

  • Keep with rename to "China-United States space relations" or merge to China–United States relations, this is a notable topic, but if it's notable enough to split it off from the parent relations article is more debatable. Would likely lean more towards merging as splitting it seems uncommon at least for this kind of topic. Jumpytoo Talk 03:30, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This article has extensive significant coverage of the topic itself - not merely as a part of NASA policy broadly interpreted. As User:Volteer1 points out, trivial effort on a wp:BEFORE search returns extensive reliable and in-depth coverage from sources as varied as magazines to polisci and scientific research journals on this topic - and I found some more [12], [13], [14], [15], [16].

The result was no consensus. Over multiple relists, there appears to be enduring good-faith disagreement as to exactly whether this article passes the bar of the general notability guideline. It's clearly something of an edge case, with a small number of sources that seem to just about fit the letter of the guideline.

  • Keep. The previous deletion nomination was withdrawn for good reason. "Fail of WP:GNG" is a curious rationale, given the sources present in the article at the time of nomination. They are:

The Student Life is reliable per WP:RSSM but a little borderline for notability purposes, but the others certainly count.

As for its reliability, the two references I was able to find on RSN were both instances in which Barron's was being used as a clearly reliable foil to another more questionable source: Barron's (newspaper) is a very reputable US newspaper published in tabloid format here and while Rolling Stone is a useful source, it does not carry the same weight as Barrons on the topic here. My case for notability does not rely on The Student Life to meet the two-source GNG minimum, as the other profiles are much more in-depth; I included it mainly since it helps fill in details on his early life. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 17:00, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I failed to find any significant coverage aside from him being in Barron's or writing for Barron's. To me, being repeatedly covered in the same publication or writing for the publication - or getting a minor passing mention - in the same publication does not qualify under WP:GNG. Present me sourcing from multiple reliable secondary sources - and two is not enough - and I'm all ears. Missvain (talk) 17:17, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Missvain, please see the first source in my !vote, which is to the Los Angeles Business Journal, which is not Barron's and which was judged generally reliable the last time it came up at RSN that I could find. Regarding writing for Barron's, I have not found any instance of that; please provide a link if you have so that we can review. Regarding your last sentence, GNG requires two or more qualifying sources, and that's what I have firmly established here; you are free to IAR ignore that standard or to seek out additional sources if you wish. If we're going the IAR route, the fact that Barron's has covered him multiple times rather than just once probably counts for something. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 03:52, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, you are right, he hasn't written for Barron's he just has a profile on it (like a Bloomberg Business profile). Frankly, I'm just not convinced he is independently notable to qualify for a Wikipedia article. Here is my examination of the sourcing I have found:
  1. "Reza Zafari: Small Caps and Aggressive Goals". Barron's. 22 January 2021. Retrieved 22 May 2021. - Counts towards GNG
  2. "Jones Zafari Group: The 'Virtual Family Office' Comes of Age". Barron's. 19 April 2019. Retrieved 22 May 2021. - This is about the business he co-owns. It's not about him specifically. Could count towards WP:BASIC.
Everything else is a passing mention or promotional-type profiles, including your LA Business Journal profile. I am not counting a college newspaper announcement/article about board members, which again, mentions the subject in passing, as counting towards a general notability. I stand by my vote. Delete. The subject does not meet general notability guidelines. Missvain (talk) 16:10, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Are you saying you're not persuaded that the Los Angeles Business Journal is SIGCOV? It's a full reported article about him that gives biographical details like his age/education/previous positions and quotes him five times. The fact it covers his partner as well doesn't change that—GNG specifies that coverage does not need to be the main topic of the source material. And if you're saying it doesn't seem reliable, that goes against the RSN discussion, but you're not bound by it so that's something you can do. But there's no shame in changing your !vote after reviewing information you previously missed. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 16:36, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, I am not convinced. Run of the mill business profiles are not going to convince me that the subject meets WP:GNG. Perhaps other editors will feel otherwise and !vote accordingly. Missvain (talk) 17:12, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I agree with Sdkb, it makes better sense to keep this article as it has references from reliable newspapers and media. I would like to add another one from Barrons 2019 Top Advisor Rankings by State Mommmyy (talk) 14:01, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is the exact issue, source only from Barrons. Editors are not able to find other journals. Personal Profile link like https://www.barrons.com/advisor/directory/reza-zafari this signals only one thing, internal connection. Please share sources from multiple RS. Sonofstar (talk) 14:22, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It is befuddling that you continue to insist that I have provided no sources apart from Barron's when I did precisely that above. If you (or MrsSnoozyTurtle below) feel that the Los Angeles Business Journal profile (which, again, gives biographical details like his age/education/previous positions and quotes him five times) somehow doesn't qualify as SIGCOV, make an argument as to why. Otherwise, the closer is unlikely to give your !votes much or any weight.
You are mistaken that him appearing in the Barron's directory implies any sort of "internal connection". As Missvain already noted above, it is akin to a Bloomberg Business profile; Barron's has them for everyone who appears in their rankings as Zafari does. If that changes your perspective, you are free to change your !vote. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 02:33, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The only substantive content in the article is his job (private wealth advisor and managing director), where he has lived and now lives, and the college where he studied. There is nothing at all in the article regarding why Zafari stands out more than a person with a reasonably high-ranking job. It may well be that sources such as Barrons cover Zafari, but secondary sourcing provides a presumption of notability. For there to be real notabiity, in the way that "notability" is used in everyday language, there needs to be some assertion in the article as to why he is significant. Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:21, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    I have by no means mined the sources for all they have to offer; I haven't even written the "career" section of the page yet. But an article being a stub is not a valid reason for deletion, and if there were nothing notable about Zafari he wouldn't be receiving GNG-qualifying coverage. It's not our role to second guess which topics that journalists write about are actually important or not. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 14:42, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All before RPDR, they had a 10-page spread in Volition Magazine here, coverage in Out here, a cover of Feroce Magazine here, and coverage in Dark Beauty Magazine. During and post-RPDR, they were covered by Vogue Paris, Watcha Packin' , and Out (again), all three of which are currently used on the page.

As there is already a discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject RuPaul's Drag Race#Nicky_Doll_AfD_nomination about this, I don't understand how your comment is relevant to this nomination. I have already asked you to point me to guidelines about the number of AfD that one can nominate, but as of now you still haven't. I don't think this comment adds any value to this nomination or demonstrates that I am not following guidelines. --Underpaid Intern (talk) 18:35, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Underpaid Intern, Well, you're not exactly following the process correctly by nominating this article for being "mainly about the performer's participation in RuPaul's Drag Race". You're basing your argument on the current article's text, not all available coverage of the subject. No one would dispute these articles need to be expanded, but just because they are stubs does not mean the topics are not notable. WP:BEFORE. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:50, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Another Believer, AfD discussions serve for this purpose. I am not claiming that all my nominations are correct. You have been telling me to "slow down" with the nominations and I have asked you, several times, to point me to any guideline that specifies the appropriate number of nominations one can do. I don't think the guideline you citing now is relevant to our discussion (while it may be valid for this nomination). --Underpaid Intern (talk) 19:00, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

According to Soccerway, Tribuna and Besoccer, he has not played higher than the 2nd tier of Thai football so he does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL. Looking at the alleged appearances, they were all for teams that were playing in the 2nd and 3rd tiers at the time, with the exception of Khon Kaen F.C., who played in the TPL in 2011 but there is no clear evidence that Intarapim made an appearance; his appearances (if they are even correct) could well have come from the many seasons when they were in the lower semi-pro tiers.

A search of Thai sources returns nothing better than a few match report squad lists and a very brief transfer announcement, which contains nothing that we can build a biography from. No evidence of WP:GNG. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 10:13, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. PROD removed by Necrothesp who pointed to WP:NACADEMIC #6 but NACADEMIC talks about " a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society". Here, however, the post is vice-chancellor, with by the very virtue of vice is at best "second highest", and neither does Tamil University (est. 1981) looks like a "major academic institution". WP:SYSTEMICBIAS is an issue, but coverage in Dinamani (which I Google Translated) looks very poor. [23] reads like a press release about him being appointed, ditto for [24], [25] this mentions him in passing in one sentence, as does the other Tamil-lang ref. Gscholar suggests his research has no international impact (he should not be confused with Gopalakrishnan Balasubramanian who is much more widely cited).

  • Keep. I think maybe you should have read our article on vice-chancellors before nominating and not made assumptions based on the title! The VC in Commonwealth universities is the professional head of the university and does indeed hold the "highest-level elected or appointed administrative post". The chancellor is merely a figurehead, usually a well-known figure from public life, and has no responsibility for administration of the institution. Clearly meets WP:NACADEMIC #6, as I said. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:10, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Necrothesp, I don't think NA#6 was intended for such hydras, how many heads are notable then? You also ignore the issue of whether this institution is "major". Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:52, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's very simple. The VC is the head of the university and the person very clearly covered by WP:NACADEMIC #6 at Commonwealth universities. The chancellor is not in any way the head and would not be notable per this criterion (although they are usually appointed because they are already notable public figures); their main function is to dress up in elaborate robes and present the degrees at degree ceremonies. They have no administrative responsibilities whatsoever. You seem fixated on the word "vice", which in this instance means absolutely nothing in practical terms. It's merely a traditional title. The deputy head of the university is called the deputy vice-chancellor or pro-vice-chancellor. The article is quite clear on this and anyone connected with a Commonwealth university would be fully aware of the VC's role. As to "major", this is entirely subjective of course, but I think a full-blown university in India (as opposed to the multitudinous colleges) qualifies. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:46, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • I would also point out that the heads of some Commonwealth universities have started calling themselves "Vice-Chancellor and President" (not vice-president, you will note), adding the usual American title in an obvious attempt to clarify the same mistake that you have made that they are not the actual head of the university. The head of a Scottish university has long been known as the "Principal and Vice-Chancellor". -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:09, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          All well and good, and I'll concede that vice-chancellor qualifies for NA#6. But I am still not convinced the institution is "major" - that's a term I'd reserve for schools in the top 1000 in rankings plus ones with historical significance. His institution does not qualify. Given that he otherwise fails SIGCOV/NBIO, this is an issue worth discussing. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:49, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, meets WP:NACADEMIC #6 as the vice-chancellor of a public (albeit small) university as pointed out by Necrothesp. The nominator seems to have misunderstood the role of a university vice-chancellor. SailingInABathTub (talk) 15:19, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, WP:NACADEMIC #6 includes language to specifically cover the case of vice-chancellors: "Criterion 6 may be satisfied, for example, if the person has held the post of president or chancellor (or vice-chancellor in countries where this is the top academic post) ..."

    • His given name is Balasubramanian. There is no surname. This is a standard format of names from some parts of India: Father's initial, followed by full given name. So unless he westernized it (as some Indians have done) by pretending that one part of the name is a surname when really it isn't, "G. Balasubramanian" is the correct and full form of his name. You could ask for the father's full name, which would be a different initial followed by something beginning with G., but that's as unnecessary here as asking for mother's maiden name would be in a western-named biography. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:45, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the census map, Nagoor seems to be included in the count for Kirimanjeshwar, which it also shares a post office code with. Regarding legal recognition, there is a bank registered there [26] and you can get a bus there [27]. There is also some evidence that people live there [28][29]. But all considered I suspect that Nagoor, Udupi is actually a subdivision of Kirimanjeshwar and therefore should be redirected there. Or better still, this article should be converted to a disambiguation page for this location and the other instances of this village name. SailingInABathTub (talk) 21:24, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Self-promotional page has been deleted before because it fails WP:CREATIVE and appears to have been created/maintained by its subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.175.200.238 (talk) 04:07, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been deleted multiple times because of notability concerns and because it appears to be self-promotional, but continues to be recreated. In addition, almost the entire article is based on just one of the four listed sources — a Q&A with the article's subject that appeared on a now-defunct blog. That anonymously produced "interview" doesn't seem to meet the standards of a reliable source, and I have concerns (although I do not have the ability to prove it) that the article's subject has been involved in the editing and resurrections of this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.175.200.238 (talk) 03:58, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • @The Banner:Your comment is a poor AfD response. You vote for merge without giving a reason and then you accuse me for doing a "poor WP:BEFORE". No one (yourself included) has provided a source mentioning a "Popponesset Peninsula". So either provide a source or strike your comment.--Rusf10 (talk) 15:59, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

        • You do not have a leg to stand on yourself, note. Uncle G (talk) 16:57, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The people blithely opining merger clearly haven't looked for sources either, otherwise they would know that this landform is called Popponesset Spit (not Peninsula) and its changes in shape have been studied going back to 1787 as it comes and goes over the years. Find the 1988 U.S. Department of the Interior report on CBRS UNIT C17 and you will find a lot of information on the geology and history of this landform, specifically, with maps. Uncle G (talk) 16:57, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • The fact "Popponesset Peninsula" does not exist means this article should be deleted regardless (in other words it fails WP:V, my original argument). Perhaps someone can make the argument that there is enough sourcing for Popponesset Spit, but that is a separate article.--Rusf10 (talk) 17:08, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, it is this article (which even describes some of the hurricane problems, which sources, there being more than one, go into in more detail) simply renamed to the right title with the ordinary editors' article move tool. Please get a grasp of what requires the administrator deletion tool and what does not. Uncle G (talk) 17:14, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • If an ordinary editor just moves this as you suggest, it creates a redirect that should be deleted because it promotes the use of a name that doesn't exist. This clearly is not now nor ever has been a peninsula.--Rusf10 (talk) 18:21, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • Now you're reaching. That's not a reason to delete an article, and AFD isn't how we discuss redirects left behind after a page move. Uncle G (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
            • Not really, I read the article again and it actually does not refer to Popponesset Spit either. This article is actually some type of WP:SYNTH. The spit is basically a sandbar, no body lives there. Yet the article says Much of the peninsula is occupied by Popponesset Beach and the remainder is largely residential.. So the author combined the spit with something else to create the term "Popponesset Peninsula".--Rusf10 (talk) 22:41, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
              • The author got something wrong, that is fixable with ordinary editing tools. We are not constrained to not correct it, and what you've just done is quite foolish. Uncle G (talk) 22:00, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete Ignoring all the petty argument, there are no sources for this name. None. Looking at both the topos and the nautical charts, for once they are in complete agreement: the town of Popponesset is at the southern end of Popponesset Bay, which is almost closed off from the sound by a long spit called, in every source, Popponesset Beach, when it is labelled at all. Adjacent to the town is Popponesset Island from which it is separated by Popponesset Creek, and at the far end of the beach (really a barrier island) is another small island called Thatch Island. Searching for Popponesset Peninsula produces no book hits and nothing but clickbait for regular web searching. And there's nothing surprising about that: Kamchatka is a peninsula, the Peloponnese is a peninsula, but this is basically a sand bar that happens to stick out of the water. Mangoe (talk) 18:47, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Then try looking for the right name. I have told you what it is. It adds nothing at this point to say that looking for the wrong name yields no sources. The right name does, several of them, and I've even pointed to one already. There's a 48-page U.S. Army Corps of Engineers paper from 1993 that gives Popponesset Spit in the second sentence of its abstract. It really is dead easy to turn up stuff with the right name. Try it. It's even easy to turn up that name starting from "Little Thatch Island" on Reywas92's map. I simply combined it with "Popponesset" and the name "Popponessett Spit" came out as the very first Google Books search result. It took about a minute. It's that easy. Uncle G (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: This spit is a great place to find seaglass in my experience, but it's not anywhere near notable enough for an article. Because the current title of the article is a neologism, there is no need for a redirect from this title. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:28, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

      • A spit is a peninsula.Djflem (talk) 07:31, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Honestly, Rusf10, almost every single thing that you've said so far in this discussion has been wrong. You've got the purpose of AFD wrong, what one can do in AFD wrong, how to fix this article wrong; and you even reverted someone who made the article better, making it worse again, in the very way that you bemoaned it being wrong above, putting it back to the title that you said was wrong. That was an especially daft thing to do. Please apply some thought. You are getting a lot of things wrong, and actually outright using editing tools to make the encyclopaedia worse after someone has improved it. Uncle G (talk) 22:00, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • Actually, you are wrong. It is wrong to change the topic of an article during an AfD. The topic of the article I nominated was "Popponesset Peninsula". It This is what it looked like This so called "Pennisula", not only included not only the spit which has the official name of Popponesset Beach [43], but also a residential area. Then Djflem comes along and changes both the topic and the name of the article in a deliberate move to confuse the participants here. Anyone who comes the discussion now has no idea what they are voting on. The right thing to do would be to add content relevant to the article's topic (not a new topic) and then make your case. It is also wrong as it has been asserted here that a peninsula and a spit are interchangeable. The name change was not just a name change, it was a topic change.--Rusf10 (talk) 22:52, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • This is not a vote. People are not voting. It has been perfectly fine to rename and fix articles during an AFD discusssion for many years. It was fine to do so back when I first wrote the Project:Guide to deletion and has been fine, and a widely-used practice, in all of the years since. You continue your streak of being wrong with everything that you write in this discussion. Please apply some thought and learn how Wikipedia works. Djflem did not confuse anyone. But you were quite foolish to revert the fixing of a subject name that you yourself disagreed with. Uncle G (talk) 09:34, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article is now well sourced per WP:HEY and passes WP:GEOFEAT as the spit. Recommend keeping and going through with the move, which isn't explicitly against the rules at AfD, could also be merged in the worst case scenario. SportingFlyer T·C 16:40, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This martial artist does not satisfy martial arts notability or general notability. Originally created in draft space as autobiography by subject of draft, but declined by AFC reviewers. Then created in article space by a different self-promoting athlete, so that it cannot be moved back to draft space. Image of subject is own work of subject.

An article should speak for itself without the need to check references, but the references are mostly almost the same, a record of his fights, rather than significant coverage, so that he does not satisfy general notability, and does not satisfy any of the mixed martial arts criteria.

        • Comment FWIW the https://www.apah.ca/papa-history article in particular doesn't even mention monies raised, even cover's the org's history: "It’s important to note that in recent history Alberta - and, in fact, Canada - have had relatively little representation of dedicated pro-life politicians holding either provincial or federal office... As a result, many pro-life activist groups have been feeling like their demands have gone unanswered and that their representatives weren't willing to listen to their priorities. Fraser capitalized on the feeling of disenfranchisement among pro-life people and welcomed them to a party that would support their philosophy. With the pro-life activists who came to the annual general meeting, Fraser was able to overthrow the remaining Socred executive and members to stack the party executive with pro-life activists and replace Skowronski as leader." To be fair, sites like the APAH publish only, or at least mostly, when there is an election. When there is you'll see increased coverage. That was written during the 2019 elxn.

      I'm happy to do that and redirect PLAPA to it, if that's what happened. Do we have a source that says that's what happened? I had a source (sorry, didn't save it, didn't think there'd be this comment) that said it was just a rename. —valereee (talk) 18:28, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment You have already de facto voted with your first statement in response to the nom, thus it has been struck. And I'm questioning why you're quoting the opening intros of WP:INTROTODELETE, WP:CANADA, and WP:ALBERTA. Please stop just quoting things you find on pages (including mine) and find proper sources to indicate why this article should be kept. Nate (chatter) 01:02, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment I quote you because of the irony I see between your words, and actions here. I quote the opening intro's of the WP:CANADA, and WP:ALBERTA because they're on the "Talk" page of the Prolife Alberta Poli. Assoc. wiki article. The Prolife Alberta article is supported by those projects and I figure that counts for something. If I'm posting things I shouldn't or you don't like, I don't know what to tell you. I'm rather new to wiki and seemingly rather unfamiliar with it's ways and wiles. Raygamman (talk) 01:38, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and rename re: Alberta Social Credit Party. Missvain (talk) 00:59, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and absolutely oppose rename. The Social Credit Party was Alberta's government for decades and a major part of Alberta's history, but today most Albertans have never heard of the Pro-Life Alberta Political Association, which has never held a seat, let alone formed a government. I suspect those supporting a rename are not from Alberta or know little of its history. Ribbet32 (talk) 03:38, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Alberta Social Credit Party; don't rename for now. I cannot find any non-routine, non-trivial coverage of this party; it thus fails WP:NORG. In any event, covering the party at the Social Credit Party's article seems to be a reasonable way to provide context and background, as well as serving as an alternative to deletion. Regarding the article's title, there's no need to resolve that here. Since the correct answer is unclear, a requested move discussion would be more reasonable. (In my view, we shouldn't rename articles at AfD unless it's actually necessary. In this case, merging doesn't require renaming, so the decision on whether to rename should be referred to other processes. AfD is not "articles for discussion".)

  • Keep, per WP:GNG/WP:BASIC - The first source listed in the nom is a bylined article from Al Jazeera: The female Afghan tech entrepreneurs inspiring each other (2021) that includes facts, e.g. "Now 18, Somaya is the leader of the Afghan Girls Robotics Team – also known as the “Afghan Dreamers”, a name they gave themselves," and biographical information, e.g. "Somaya’s mother had to leave school when she was 10. It was 1996 and the Taliban had come to power and banned education for girls," as well as background context, e.g. "Somaya and the team first made headlines in 2017 when, despite displaying their remarkable ingenuity in robotics, they were denied visas to the United States to attend a robotics tournament." The second source is from BBC News: BBC 100 Women 2020: Who is on the list this year? (2020), "This year 100 Women is highlighting those who are leading change and making a difference during these turbulent times," and includes a profile of Faruqi that begins with: "When Afghanistan’s first case of Covid-19 was reported in her home province of Herat, Somaya and her all-female robotics team – the "Afghan Dreamers" – set to work on a low-cost ventilator to treat coronavirus patients." The third source is written by a Forbes staff writer: Get To Know The Youngest Members Of Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2021 (2021), which per WP:FORBES, Forbes and Forbes.com include articles written by their staff, which are written with editorial oversight, and are generally reliable. Forbes also publishes various "top" lists which can be referenced in articles. The fourth source is published by UN Women, and even though it is written by Faruqi, she is being featured as part of what appears to be a "Generation Equality" campaign, I am Generation Equality: Somaya Faruqi, young Afghan innovator who led the development of a low-cost ventilator prototype (2021) e.g. the subhead states, "Billions of people across the world stand on the right side of history every day. They speak up, take a stand, mobilize, and take big and small actions to advance women’s rights. This is Generation Equality," so it appears the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women finds her worthy of notice and contributes to her notability. The fifth source is from NPR: Unique Robotic Team In Afghanistan Creates Affordable Ventilator Prototype (2020) and offers details about how Faruqi and her team developed the ventilator, as well as challenges they faced, and there is a reference to an award that needs further research. Beccaynr (talk) 04:23, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Aljazeera. Yes, the byline is there but this is not independent, more than half are quotes and written by the girl. For BBC, Forbes As I shared please refer other afd discussions regarding such awards. They are generally reliable but not considered in such cases. Main reason, this is not worthy as Forbes gives 30 u 30 to around 700+ people per year due to so many niches and categories. All the members of Generation Equality" campaign are not considered notable, please read the language of Unwomen. Its written by herself there is nowhere written published by unwomen and last NPR hardly few lines(no indepth), describing her teamwork doesn't make notable to specifically to her. Sonofstar (talk) 14:08, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Per WP:BASIC, "independent of the subject" footnote 6, ...The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself have actually considered the subject notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works that focus upon it, and the Al Jazeera article is not written by the subject and it includes content about her that is WP:SECONDARY, e.g. It contains an author's analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources, including but not limited to the background context of the 2017 headlines and other facts reported in addition to the interview. A source does not lose its independence because it includes quotes from the subject - it gains independence from the additional reporting. For BBC News and articles by Forbes staff writers, I am unaware of any AfDs that suggest articles from independent and reliable sources offering profiles of a subject and recognition of their achievements do not contribute to their notability. The UNWomen source is not 'self-published' in the sense that it is simply written by Faruqi on social media or her own platform - she is clearly being featured by the organization on its website and she has not written all of the content of the article, i.e. the subheadline appears to be from UNWomen. (They also feature her as one of "Four stories to celebrate girls in ICT," and she was profiled by UNICEF, and UNWomen Australia). As to the NPR article, and per WP:CREATIVE, Faruqi has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work and such work has been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles, e.g. also Reuters, BBC, News18, so her notability appears to be supported by these sources. The Al Jazeera article also includes a reference to '2017 headlines' and the BBC profile of Faruqi also includes a reference to a slew of awards that suggest additional sources supporting notability WP:NEXIST. It seems clear that Faruqi is often being singled out as the leader of the team and accorded additional notice from independent and reliable sources, which supports a standalone article for her, and adding information from those sources and other available sources can help develop this article. Beccaynr (talk) 15:09, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Alright, at least you agreed that it fails WP:GNG. For WP:BASIC I don't think this is independent if you will read the language of content it's very clear that this is not independent without any doubt. I suggest lets others share their opinion, instead of us now. Sonofstar (talk) 16:46, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I do not agree there is a failure of WP:GNG, including because Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material and because I have only started to conduct a WP:BEFORE search to support revisions and improvements to the article. I referred to the WP:BASIC guideline for a definition of 'independent,' and this guideline also provides additional support for notability, because it states, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. Beccaynr (talk) 16:57, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I'm not entirely sure whether or not she's independently notable, but the Afghan Dreamers (the robotics team she leads) certainly seems to be: [49][50][51][52][53]. I do see some good coverage of her, but it's all in the context of the team. pburka (talk) 17:17, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - There's also good coverage (including of her) here and here NHCLS (talk) 11:33, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I made some revisions to the article, and from my view, it looks like her independent notability is supported by coverage and recognition after she became the leader of the team, including the Al Jazeera article that has a substantial focus on her and the context, the BBC 100 Women 2020 recognition of her, the UNICEF feature that focuses on her (and refers to itself as a 'documentary'), and her inclusion in the UN Women Generation Equality campaign. She seems to have become a notable role model independent of the team, and has been honored more individually and had more recent reporting on her, even when it is in the context of the team. There are additional sources that could further support an Afghan Dreamers article, including from when Faruqi was 14 and receiving less individual coverage (e.g. the visa problems, experiences traveling, challenges and extreme hardships experienced by the team) but that could be an effective complement for this article.

Thanks to point. I appreciate it if you can show the top 3 sources here which are not passing maintain and makes Somaya Faruqi notable.Sonofstar (talk) 19:51, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In footnote 2 of WP:GNG (after "Sources"), it states Including but not limited to newspapers, books and e-books, magazines, television and radio documentaries, reports by government agencies, and academic journals, which is why I noted the UNICEF feature of her refers to itself as a documentary; there is also the BBC profile of her, the UN Women feature of her, and the Al Jazeera coverage. These sources include WP:SECONDARY analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources, are not trivial, and help show that she is distinctly notable per WP:GNG, in addition to the WP:BASIC notability from the multiple independent and RS cited above that report and comment on her work as the captain of the Afghan Dreamers, and her membership on the team before she was captain. Beccaynr (talk) 20:34, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is yet another spot copied into GNIS from the 1906 Iowa Geological Survey, and which also happened to be the location of a rural post office. After that, things become rocky. The topos don't go far back, and they don't acknowledge one of the two farms at the crossroads, even though it goes back into the 1930s at least. There might have been a third farm, though it's more likely part of the second, on the other side of the road. Anyway, searching gets hits that suggest a creamery, and for a hunting club, for the Farmers' Co-operative Telephone Company (organized there), and for shorthorn cattle and Duroc-Jersey swine. Does this add up to a town? At this point my answer would be no. It comes across as more of locale. A narrative of it as a town is conspicuously lacking.

  • It's not even in Polk's Iowa state Gazetteer. Nor is it in the 1917 History of Winnebago County and Hancock County, Iowa at the Internet Archive, although people named Amund are. The sum total of all of the information that I can find is:

    Amund: A hamlet and post office (1888-1907) in the northwest corner of section 22, Eden Township.

    — Hawkeye Heritage. Vol. 13–14. Iowa Genealogical Society. 1978., page 176
    So yes, it is documented as a hamlet in one source, 7 decades later, but doesn't turn up in contemporary gazetteers or histories. Everything else has just the post office, in post office directories and as "one mile west of Amund post office". No, I cannot in all honesty claim "Wally" as a reliable source. Uncle G (talk) 12:24, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - User:Uncle G certainly seems to have established notability.
    • The History of Winnebago County and Hancock County, Iowa, appears a reliable historic source, and supports that this was a hamlet. This is corroborated by Abandoned Towns, Villages and Post Offices of Iowa (1930), which also calls Amund a "hamlet", and furthermore differentiates a hamlet from a place that just has a post office.
    • Uncle G also cites this genealogy board, but dismisses Wally Rutter as an unreliable source. All we're trying to do here is establish that this place had people living there at one time, and because this isn't some garage band trying to get its article onto Wikipedia, I'm pretty sure Wally isn't spamming the Norway Heritage Community genealogy board when he writes (in that same source), "Amund Iowa was a tiny hamlet, so to speak, in 1901 or so. It was just 2 miles south of the Minnesota, Iowa line. That would put it in easy walking distance of Emmons, Minnesota. My grandmother and him lived in a house north east of Amund."
    • Here is an obituary published in 2009 in the Globe Gazette from Mason City, Iowa, for Darlyne Geneva Engebretson (82), who "was born on November 10, 1926, to Benjamin and Jeanette (Aske) Johnson in Amund, Iowa."
    • This list of Iowans who served during WWI from North Dakota mentions "Larson, Gilman Julius. Marine #none; registrant, Stutsman county; born in Amund, Iowa, Feb 18, 1894".
  • Amund also appeared on a 1911 Iowa map by Rand McNally, which suggests it was more than just a post office. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:47, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, the History does not support this, and I never said that it did. If you assert otherwise, I challenge you to give the page of the History on which this is named as a hamlet, rather than given as a person's name. (Hint: "Amund" only occurs in volume 2, which is the biographies. Eden Township is page 113 of volume 1, and has no Amund.)

      Moreover, I'm just putting Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published sources into practice, as you should but are not. Why on Earth is someone named "Wally" on a discussion forum on a WWW site a reliable source? Who is that person? What are xyr credentials? Do you even know? The Rand-McNally map is laughable, as it literally isn't even a dot on that map. Compare with the other named places; there's no actual equivalent hollow dot symbol next to Amund, and that isn't telling you what it is. This exhibits the very let's-just-assume-what-the-dot-on-the-map-is problem that underpins the whole GNIS mess. Lastly, things saying "in Amund" don't actually tell us what it is either. It could be a farm for all that that says. (And indeed Mangoe observes two oblique hints in sources that it was a farm.)

      The best that you've got is Mott, which is word-for-word the same as the Hawkeye Heritage but still decades after the fact. Polk's (which actually has a 1908 edition, but lists "discontinued" post offices in its 1918 edition), Lippincott's, and others are good for post offices, as well as post-hamlets, post-villages, and suchlike. (Hair's Iowa State Gazetteer is from 1865, so isn't to be expected to have something from 1888, and indeed it has not. For the same reason, it isn't to be expected in the 1886 Union Publishing History of Kossuth, Hancock, and Winnebago counties, Iowa.) But Amund does not appear in any of the actually contemporary gazetteers that I've been scouring to find all of these places. It doesn't come up in any of the history books on Norwegian settlement in Iowa. It's only in things like the 1909 United States Official Postal Guide, ironically listed in the section "POST OFFICES DISCONTINUED ON ACCOUNT OF RURAL DELIVERY" on page 702.

      Then you've got the problem that after all this all that we've got is "X was a hamlet" or "X was a post office" with no actual in-depth documentation, which directory listings and map dots are not. All of this effort only gets one over the "unincorporated community" hurdle of identifying the actual subject and getting past the GNIS rubbish, and doesn't demonstrate actual documentation in depth of geology, history, politics, demographics, &c. that notability needs.

      Uncle G (talk) 18:13, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • A couple short paragraphs here stating that this was a short small community founded in 1892 that dissolved in 1906 because the railroad wasn't close enough to serve as a shipping point. Agree with Uncle G above that the genealogy board doesn't count as RS, and the maps aren't going to be particularly useful for determining notability. Leaning merge to the township article based on the newspaper clipping I found devoting a couple paragraphs to this referring to it as a minor settlement and providing verification, but I don't think there's enough to support a stand-alone article here. My minimum is generally three in-depth sources, or two if both are really good. Here we've got one, and it's not that long. Hog Farm Talk 21:03, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • switching to Keep - one of Milowent's sources is the same thing as the link I found above, and the one added about the P.O. closing is fairly trivial IMO, but between two others added by Milowent and the one identified by both me and them, I think this is keepable.

  • Keep. "Congressional staffers are not inherently notable", but they're also not inherently not notable: a WP:GNG pass is sufficient to establish notability. The coverage in The Atlantic, Foreign Policy, the Weekly Standard, and POLITICO, just to name a few, is clearly substantial enough, and the stories stem from different events, so WP:BLP1E wouldn't apply. The article is perhaps a somewhat unsympathetic portrayal of Harvey, but that can be dealt with via editing: deletion is not cleanup. And the article provides sufficient encyclopedic context to resolve any WP:NOTNEWS concerns. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 17:43, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete My search found no evidence that he meets WP:GNG or WP:NHOOPS. The article says he was a member of Puerto Rican national basketball teams, but I found nothing to show he competed at the Olympics or even the Pan American Games. According to one database, he did appear in some of 10th place Puerto Rico's games at the 1978 world championships, but that would seem insufficient to show notability on its own. When in doubt I defer to WP:GNG and I found no significant independent coverage of him. Papaursa (talk) 16:37, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find evidence on IMDB that there is any film by this name or any film that stars the actors listed here in the cast that goes by a different name. The only references online I see are sites that seem to be lifting Wikipedia's article as a description. This article was PROD'd but dePROD'd as it was previously deleted by a PROD 11 years ago.

  • Delete It's a real film per [54][55][56][57] (and the archived IMDb page here), though it seems to have changed directors since the initial announcements. However, my search didn't turn up any significant critical reviews that would justify an article according to WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. DanCherek (talk) 03:30, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: as a person who discovered this article and nominated it for deletion, I suppose this film was announced, filmed at some point (or was close to begin the principal shooting) yet never released due to unknown causes which were never revealed.

  • Delete. At best this is a film that was completed but was never released due to whatever reasons. At worst this is a film that was never completed or filmed at all. It's a fairly common story with films, to be honest. I was able to pull the official website up with Wayback and the status from mid 2011 is pretty dismal and gives off little impression that the film was completed or released. Whatever the status is, this is a non-notable film. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 11:58, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Presenting this for discussion, as I think it may be a case of WP:BLP1E. I've already stripped some pretty egregious BLP violations, including negative claims that were either unsourced or sourced only to an unpublished "private message" (!) — though there's still some sketchy language left. Considering the BLP1E criteria: (1) most significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources is about the 2001 Requiem incident; (2) Foison has remained a low-profile individual in the 20 years since then; (3) the incident was not a significant one in the grand scheme of things. Note: most of the article's Atlanta Journal-Constitution references are brief announcements of performances, not significiant coverage. DanCherek (talk) 02:39, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Utterly fails WP:V. I have googled all of the titles of these shorts and found almost no verification that they even existed (which is shocking for something that was made in 2004).

Of the five citations in the article, one is a personal blog on Blogspot, two are forum posts, and the other two are links to a long-deleted Toon Zone article which survives only as a backup on an unofficial fansite. Further searching of the titles yielded nothing of value outside user-submitted sites like Big Cartoon Database, fan forums, or Wikipedia mirrors.

  • Boy Howdy. Google ["the jet cage" granny tweety sylvester "executive tweet"] or something and you get this dense wall of text that says, among other things, that "Executive Tweet" was actually aired in 2007. The thing is, this rando blob of text is all over the internet... on trucking company sites, PI training sites, POS machine manufacturers, furniture designers, I mean you name it. Like for instance here on a used machine tool dealer site. Stream of consciousness stuff... Now I'm fascinated on how this came to be so. I'm assuming some virus put it there, and these particular sites don't have a webmaster who notices or cares (they're all small sites). Huh. Anyway, this is what my research found.
