Major International Pageants Titleholders 2019

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

This isn't an article, it seems to be kind of a template. I'm not sure if there are CSD grounds to delete or whether it should be moved. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:19, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Move to Template:Major International Pageants Titleholders 2019, can someone please do this (i am not confident enough to do this correctly:)), oh, and speedy close this afd. Coolabahapple (talk) 22:23, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Moved as a (non-admin closure), but I won't close this since someone should review what I did. Also, who ever does review it should probably mark the new redirect for deletion (R2). --DannyS712 (talk) 02:56, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

@Sandstein: I was the one who moved it (which I hope was okay) but I didn't tag the redirect for deletion because i thought it should be reviewed. Should the redirect be deleted? Its from mainspace to template... Also, I'm sorry for posting this here, but I don't think either of the 2 above suggestions is the right place. --DannyS712 (talk) 00:02, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[]

List of political catchphrases

These are not catchphrases, but quotes, which belong on Wikiquote (where most of the content already resides). For slogans, we have List of political slogans. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:43, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Comment, there are a large number of books that cover/discuss quotes/insults/wit of politicians so a rename may be appropriate? Coolabahapple (talk) 22:16, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Delete per nom. These are quotes; they are not catchphrases. Nor is there any sense of why these particular quotes have been listed togther on this page, whilst thousands of others have not, which for me rules out a rename. Next, the majority of the page content seem to be in languages other than English, which on the en.wikipedia is unhelpful. I see no redeeming features nor any reasonable propsect of turning the page content into something useful. --Tagishsimon (talk) 18:23, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Delete - no obvious inclusion/exclusion criteria; not suitable for inclusion in an encyclopaedia; fails WP:LISTN and more suitable for Wikiquote as the nominator says Spiderone 09:41, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Delete or possibly severely trim. Most of the entries are quotes, and unnotable ones at that, fuddle duddle being a notable exception. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:50, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[]

List of The Powerpuff Girls secondary characters

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

This article's possible deletion last garnered attention in 2011. Let me say that IMO there is nothing in this article, aside from a single mention relating to the band Gorillaz, that truly stands out. Do we really need a separate article for PPG secondary characters, or can all this content be merged into a different article? Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 23:37, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep but move to List of The Powerpuff Girls characters and merge Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup into it. bd2412 T 00:25, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep several of these (such as Professor Utonium or Mojo Jojo) need to be somewhere, and this type of article is the best place. While I support BD2412's merge proposal, I'm not sure it needs to be part of the AfD close. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:34, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Ah, that article is also at AfD, which is why a merge would be part of a close. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:38, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep. The show was notorious for it’s rogues gallery and supporting characters. The article is just pure fancruft right now and now the editors want to merge the main girls into it to improvise it (which I understand) but I don’t feel like that’s the answer either. Even Mojo Jojo is fairly well know enough probably for his own article if maybe done right. I see some sources talking about Professor Utonium and the villains. Eden though not as much as the girls. They are probably enough to improve the article without merging the trio article. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 06:48, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Merge this article with Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup and rename to List of The Powerpuff Girls characters. I don't see why we need two separate articles for characters on a childrens television show. Ajf773 (talk) 09:49, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup

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

I just, I don't see the notability here. Yes, the trio within the series has become a pop culture icon. The series, along with comics, its anime spinoff, and the reboot, has come a long, long way. The series is notable, but the characters? Not so much. I'd suggest a merge with one of the relevant articles. Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 23:34, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Move List of The Powerpuff Girls secondary characters to List of The Powerpuff Girls characters and merge this article into it. bd2412 T 00:26, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

I would agree with merge myself if I didn’t do research BUT agree to disagree google was my friend on this one. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 04:08, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

I don't see how that contravenes a merge. The article is relatively short, and the proposed merge target is relatively short. Obviously, the stars would be at the top of the page. No information would be lost, just moved to one place. bd2412 T 05:11, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Not necessarily true. You’re just not caring that much. There is room for improvement as proven for the sources. Making an merge unnecessary. The revision history needs to stay where it’s at instead of annoyingly redirected with the same info that can be improved by being split off. Also I already noticed one IP complain how there is an Bliss (The Powerpuff Girls) article but not for the main characters when there wasnt one on the girls. I feel that readers will be confused as to why there is an article on Bliss but not of the main characters. It will make so sense to have a Bliss article without having one for the other Powerpuff Girls too. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 05:32, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Also not true if the characters pass Wp: GNG which I am trying my best to prove HERE because I have no time to edit articles yet. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 05:38, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Merge per BD2412. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:37, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep Because You’ll be hard pressed to find someone under 35 who doesn’t know about The Powerpuff Girls. Even if the person can’t tell you which one is Bubbles, Blossom, or Buttercup, they’ll be able to point them out in a lineup of other cartoon superheroes. Also because of this, this, this, this, this, this, this and this, €this, this, this, this, this, this etc. Let me know if you want to see more sources. Also little good faith suggestion. Don’t confuse notable characters with “iconic” characters. There’s a difference. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 03:50, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Here, "Buttercup, Bubbles, and Blossom share something else with their animated descendants: massive merchandising possibility. The three sisters with their vibrant colors and minimalist designs were begging to be turned into toys, plushies, and plastered on t-shirts, and they were. In fact, within two years there were video games, a feature length film, lunchboxes, and even Powerpuff branded dishware."See here: https://www.bustle.com/articles/85657-what-would-the-powerpuff-girls-be-doing-and-wearing-as-grown-ups-in-2015.Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 04:10, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

How’s this for critical reception? The Powerpuff Girls was one of the staples of my childhood TV schedule. I loved the idea of a group of girl superheroes that could save the day. Not only were they girls, they were in kindergarten and young enough that I could relate to them on a deeper level. They were young girls who dealt with normal kid stuff during the day but were still able to kick the butts of monsters and super villains that threatened their city. The three main characters had diverse personalities and it was common for the audience to see themselves in at least one of them. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 04:33, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Most of these sources along with character reception are already present in the main articles (new and old series) as are descriptions of the three main characters. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:46, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Merge or Move. I agree in general that the trio of characters are not individually notable from the television show(s), which of course is clearly notable. The existing character list seems like a good place to add this info. --Masem (t) 05:38, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Did you not see the handful of sources I can use to pass to make it prove Wp: GNG? I guess tomorrow I will be busy on improving this article. An AFD was an irresponsible move anyway as it could have been an merge request. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 05:43, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Split I think all three characters are notable for their own article honestly. I think an article can exist for the group as well but maybe under the name Powerpuff Girls (team), then info about all the other characters that have been Powerpuff girls can be covered to. But the first course of action I think should be to give the three main characters their separate articles which would allow for more focus.★Trekker (talk) 07:45, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Delete or Redirect to The Powerpuff Girls - On face value it may look like this article is well sourced but information was merely copied and pasted from The Powerpuff Girls article (which is GA rated). Every source in this article is also present on the main series page, this is not a coincidence. The rest of the lengthy info is fan fluff. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:35, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

That’s not true. There is new info and sources that aren’t used on the other Wikipedia page. This is assumption of bad faith to assume that they are copied and pasted. Also stop ignoring Wikipedia:NEXIST and WP:Imperfect. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 01:55, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Its not bad faith, look for yourself....every source in the article is from the original series page. There is also WP:NOTINHERITED to keep in mind. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:08, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Look again at my keep comments. That is not Wp: Inherited. Also I paid attention. there is only ~~four borrowed sources~~ Try again! Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 02:23, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Ok a lot of sources seem to be used that are already in the article. But still some were added. Also still there are a handful of other sources not yet used. But let’s keep ignoring that. Some of what was talked about belongs here more because the article of the Powerpuff Girls is talking about what is not in the show and also the girls being ranked as top cartoon characters by TV Guide primary subject still belongs here more than the parent article.Jhenderson 777 02:36, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

The issue is that the articles overlap way too much.... The line "The TV Guide chose the Powerpuff Girls as No. 13 in a list of the 50 Greatest cartoon characters of all time." referencing the TV guide is present under the "Critical reception" section of the original series article and is also present in the "Reception" section at Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. The name of "Buttercup" originally known as "Bud" is present in the original series article under "characters" while in Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup it is present under "Buttercup". The article would need a complete rewrite for things not already included elsewhere. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:08, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Merge per bd2412. This probably should have been a merge request as the notability isn't really in doubt, just the notability for a standalone article. SportingFlyer talk 03:46, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

merge/redirect From what I see in the article, it is 80% unreferenced fancruft which must be removed. And the article immediately becomes small and mergeable. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:00, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

A little administrator note. If merged I would like a draft on it. I feel if I have time to use the sources that I used and see what the source on the Bliss (The Powerpuff Girls) have the the three fictional girls should maybe have their own individual articles without it being a trio article. (Going with what Treker said.) But I just don’t have the time and willpower for now with it being a holiday season and all. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 00:05, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep: as the main characters in a very significant franchise (the main article is mid-importance on WPTV, high on Animation), yes they are notable. In general, we need to be careful of WP:NOTINHERITED but even the article's current sources show specific commentary on the characters themselves, not just the show as a whole. I think some commentors here need reminding that Deletion is not cleanup, and though we need some plot trimming and expansion of the Creation and conception and Reception sections, the subjects are notable. — Bilorv_(c)(talk) 15:29, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Merge whatever is adequately sourced, and that proves to be surprisingly poor, at least so far, to the List of The Powerpuff Girls characters. -The Gnome (talk) 12:28, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Merge with List of The Powerpuff Girls secondary characters and rename to List of The Powerpuff Girls characters. Even if there is independent notability, the current content is still of such insufficient length to justify a separate article and can be sufficiently contained within a single article. If it does become significantly longer at some point in time, they can always be WP:SPLIT into a separate article in the future. —Madrenergic^talk 16:48, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Doesn't meet WP:BIO.

There is no such team. In 2018, owner of MLS's Columbus Crew SC threatened to move the team to Austin.

ClevelandBrowns.com (Press release). NFL Enterprises, LLC. October 12, 2018. Retrieved October 13, 2018.

Just restore the redirect and/or discuss on talk page. We jump straight to AfD too often. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:14, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Chaps, the Major League Soccer site has published an article that all but confirms it with today's stadium agreement. No need to get all defensive about it - Columbus is keeping their team. If you feel the content on this page is too declarative, that's fine, but removing it (again) and redirecting it to a different team's page will entirely defeat the purpose. A deal has been reached for a new soccer stadium in the city of Austin, Texas, where new MLS team Austin FC will begin play in the near future. - https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2018/12/19/city-austin-precourt-sports-ventures-announce-stadium-deal-agreement - Tcardone05 (talk) 20:18, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Comment I'm fine to restore the redirect, but we're too quick to create articles and add content based on speculative information.

Keep Austin FC will be a thing, and that thing currently passes WP:GNG. No reason not to have an article on it. It should NOT be redirected to Columbus. [1] [2] SportingFlyer talk 21:37, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

The result was delete. This was clearly a contentious AfD. There were about twice as many delete votes as there were keep votes, but as we all know, AfDs are not just about vote counting. There were two arguments that were most convincing to me, and neither of them were adequately refuted by any of the editors voting to keep the article.

The first was FOARP's argument that the list itself is not notable per WP:LISTN. (Note that this is subtly different from saying that there are a lot of unsourced entries in the article.) Per LISTN, the subject of the list itself must be a topic that "has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". In other words, it is possible to have a list article where every item in the list is properly sourced, but the list itself is non-notable because that group or set of things hasn't been discussed in sources. For instance, List of notable men with brown hair and green eyes.

The second argument that was not refuted was dlthewave's argument that the sourcing for this article is problematic. The introductory sentence of this article (as well as some of the keep voters here) implies that the article is intended to be a list of people who have falsely claimed Cherokee ancestry. In order to include people in such a list, we'd need sources that prove the falsehood of their claims, and those sources are not likely to exist in the vast majority of (if not all) cases. ‑Scottywong | chat _ 01:22, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[]

List of people of self-identified Cherokee ancestry

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

This is a listicle which can never be complete, which is not a defining feature of anyone's life and which invites attempts to debate and argue about unproven or unprovable (either way) claims of ancestry. The place for such nuanced discussions or objections to such claims is not a list-format article. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 19:24, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Strong delete. There's already Cherokee#Notable historical (and current) Cherokee for, you know, actual, verified Cherokee. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:59, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Strong Delete - That a list can never be complete is no reason, at all, to delete it. Similarly, a page's tendency to make editors edit disruptively is no reason to delete it either.

What is a reason for deleting is lack of notability. Is there any sign at all that lists of people of self-identified Cherokee ancestry are notable per WP:LISTN? Yes, there is coverage of people who have self-identified as having Cherokee ancestry, but to substantiate the notability of a list of them needs something more than just individual instances of people claiming Cherokee ancestry. Has any reliable, independent source ever listed people of self-identified Cherokee ancestry? I can't see any. As such this article fails WP:GNG and appears to be simply an editor-created synthesis of facts (see WP:SYNTH) and as such is original research (WP:OR) which should never be allowed.

Delete the sourcing is beyond horrific; NNDB isn't the worst of it. Worse are the BLP issues; this seems to be "people who have mentioned they might have distant Cherokee ancestry but can't prove it". Many entries are unsourced.

Delete per above. Catrìona (talk) 12:53, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Strong keep. The whole point of this list is that these are people who are *not* members of Cherokee tribes; so it has no overlap with the Cherokee, Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, or United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians. Yet they claim Cherokee descent, which is widely written about in books and newspapers. The phenomenon of non-tribal members claiming Cherokee descent (specifically Cherokee among all tribes in the United States) is ubiquitous and widely written about as well (the external links are just a sampling of the larger conversation). The majority of the entries are, in fact, sourced, and one could simply request citations for the remaining entries, instead demanding deletion of a highly active article with innumerable links feeding into it. The subject is specifically framed to acknowledge the grey area—that these are notable individuals who have publicly claimed Cherokee descent (that they made these claims is completely verifible). I notice that this deletion notice wasn't announced on WP:Wikiproject Indigenous peoples of North America and editors who actually contribute to the article, such as myself have not been properly alerted. Yuchitown (talk) 17:56, 20 December 2018 (UTC)Yuchitown[]

Some of these people appear to be actual Cherokee (e.g. Rae Dawn Chong, Crysal Gayle), and the claims of most of the rest are only mentioned in passing or by sources of questionable reliability. In Asa Carter's case, it seems to be a deliberate deception. Only in a couple of cases, Elizabeth Warren and possibly Johnny Depp, is it anything more than trivia, so it appears to me to be simply a hatchet job against Warren. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:47, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

What’s verifiable is that these are people who have claimed to be Cherokee who aren’t tribal members. Going beyond that would be beyond the scope of what could be verified on wikipedia. The fact that endless articles about these people’s indiviual claims and the collectively claiming of Cherokee identity is testament to the fact that it’s not trivia. This article predates the Warren controversy. None of the users calling for its deletion appear to regularly to contribute to Native American articles. One of the many reasons this list is useful is that users tend to add these various celebrities to tribal lists over and over. This provides a place for them to accurately go. Yuchitown (talk) 21:51, 20 December 2018 (UTC)Yuchitown[]

Keep - I wish we didn't need this page. Unfortunately, if we have a Cherokee People category, and Native American categories at all, we have to have this one or we are violating the rights of Cherokee people to define themselves, to declare who is and is not Cherokee.

This is a list of notable people who are commonly misrepresented and miscategorized as Cherokee, often over the protests of the Cherokee people, who deserve to have a voice in this matter, rather than having sources where Cherokee representatives speak deleted (such as the Secretary of State of the Cherokee Nation). The argument that this is some random list of non-Natives, or non-Cherokee is a strawman. It has never been that.

This is (or is intended to be, and was) a list of notable people who have repeatedly made documented, sourced claims, but who we have to repeatedly remove from the Cherokee categories because these claims have been proven false. The editors who have recently shown up to war on this and propose this AfD don't realize this because they don't edit Native American articles, and they don't seem to understand what we are saying here about Indigenous sovereignty and definitions. And the other non-Natives who evaluate their arguments usually don't understand, either.

Those who see this as being about Warren aren't familiar with the broader issues. Warren, as the highest-profile person on this list, has had a great deal of recent media coverage due to her racialization of Cherokee and Native identity with the recent DNA test, and the backlash to that, resulting in new interest in this old list and related articles. Her entry is sourced with WP:RS sources from Indigenous spokespeople, and extensive quotes were included in the footnotes, not to single her out, but because this high-profile case has resulted in unprecedented coverage and statements that apply to everyone who claims heritage despite having been shown by the Nation(s) record-keepers and genealogists (and even geneticists) that they do not have any Cherokee ancestors. Those who have dropped the claims have been removed.

The extensive sourcing (and since when is that a bad thing on WP?) was to explain the issue to those who are still unclear on this concept of Indigenous sovereignty - that only the Nations can say who is Indigenous. Though recent edits by those without a history of editing Native American articles have removed sources, every entry on here has at one time had (or has supposed to have had) a brief summation and RS sourcing. If this is kept, this is only useful with summations and RS sourcing. I realize this explanation is long, but this is clearly a confusing topic for some weighing in here.

This page exists to simplify and reduce the miscategorization of Bios. Deleting this would result in more confusion among non-Natives and waste of editors' time, not less. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 23:32, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Although I'm personally sympathetic to your argument, this sounds like attempting to right great wrongs, which is discouraged. Furthermore, on Wikipedia the only thing that counts is the reliable sources, regardless of whether that's in line with what the tribes say. It has nothing to do with removing people from the Cherokee category if they are not actually Cherokees. Catrìona (talk) 13:59, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

I also sympathize with your efforts to understand this, but your attempt to cite right great wrongs does not apply, and is rather dismissive, because the entries have always been sourced - before the disruptive editing by this new crew that removed sources. I regularly go through and remove unsourced people, and move Cherokee people to the Cherokee (or other Nation) categories if they've been mistakenly placed here. Those who edit in the field and know the history of these entries and bios, and how Native identity works, know that. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 20:21, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Wait a minute... I just re-read what you said. RS sources, "regardless of whether that's in line with what the tribes say." OK, you've just shown you don't know how RS sources for Indigenous identity work. Only the Nations decide who is a member of their Nation. You've just said the equivalent of wikipedians can choose sources that decide who is or is not a citizen of Israel, regardless of what the Israeli government says. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 20:28, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

One would think that the tribes themselves are THE most reliable source. Most every tribe has a website with criteria outlined clearly and concisely. This has nothing to do with righting any wrongs, I have no idea where you are getting this from Catrìona it is being factual. Assuming that we are attempting to right wrongs via wikipedia is infantilizing at best. Adding a source that provides inaccurate information does a great disservice to the pedia and is, quite frankly, lazy editing.Indigenous girl (talk) 20:39, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

The problem is that these claims of distant Cherokee ancestry have not been proven false. The sources document the claims, but most do not comment on their veracity. –dlthewave ☎ 23:33, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep It's important to have a space to list individuals making verifiable false claims. Every single person on the list has been verified as not being Cherokee though they have made statements claiming they are or it is included in their biographies. This is imperative because it comes down to Nationhood and the issue of sovereignty. One cannot self-define indigeneity. It is far more complicated than that and to disallow indigenous criteria which has been included in sourced material over self-declaration is unacceptable and does a disservice to the pedia. Indigenous girl (talk) 23:48, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]
- Comment - Most of these claims are not "false," much less "verifiable false." Someone who states that they have some percentage of Cherokee heritage is not the same as that person stating that they are eligible for tribal membership. I recognize and respect your POV on this issue, and on a personal level I substantively agree with much of what you said, but your POV doesn't get to override our requirement to adhere to a neutral POV. The broader point is, listicles are not appropriate places for us to write nuanced discussions of a person's family or cultural heritage. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 02:34, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Not sure what familiarity you have with Native identity or tribal enrollment, but these issues widely published and discussed in literature. Getting into who has or doesn't have Native heritage is beyond the scope of the list; the list is for people who claim Cherokee descent but are not tribal members, so cannot go placed in the three tribe's articles. I agree a NPOV tone can be achieved. This list corresponds well-established and well-populated Category:American people of Cherokee descent and related lists under the supercat Category:People of Cherokee descent. Yuchitown (talk) 18:00, 21 December 2018 (UTC)Yuchitown[]

I fully agree that the category is appropriate, but I believe the list is not. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 19:20, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Of course they're verifiably false. That's the point. It's very easy to check if someone is enrolled. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 20:50, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

You're simply wrong. Once again, a person can have heritage or ancestry (genetic, cultural or both?) of Native peoples without necessarily being an enrolled citizen of a tribe. If someone claims tribal citizenship and is not a tribal citizen, then of course that would be factually provable one way or the other relatively easily - look at the tribal rolls. But if someone says that some part of their family is Native American and they thus have that "ancestry" the only way to factually disprove that would be exhaustive genetic and genealogical research. In the instant case, there is nothing remotely describable as "disproof" of Warren's family heritage. A "List of people who have falsely claimed to be Cherokee tribal members" would be a different article entirely. If you want to start such an article, I would have no objection. But a "List of people with self-described Cherokee ancestry" is merely that, and it should not be a platform for exhaustive, inconclusive and generally unprovable arguments about whether or not those statements are true. The place for such nuanced debate would be the person's biography. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 21:06, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Delete just form the discussion above it is clear this is a very controversial and fraught with POV issue. There is no reason to make this list, especially since it invites many, many more similar lists, like List of people of self-identified African ancestry for Rachel Dolezal, and I could go on and on.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:18, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Delete As stated above we have the notable people section of an article about this. Categories (which require sourcing) also take care of grouping people who have this ancestry onto one page (the category page). The problem with this page is sourcing as many names on the list are unsourced or poorly sourced and that presents a BLP problem for BLP entries on the list who are unsourced or poorly sourced. JC7V (talk) 07:33, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Comment. I hope whomever concludes this AfD is aware that the many emotional calls for deletion are based on objectively incorrect conclusions. There is no "notable people section of an article about this." Even before I recently added more citations (with extreme ease; these statements of self-identified are widely documented), the overwhelming majority of people listed have been cited. This list actually doesn't invite similar lists (although that's not a cause for deletion in Wikipedia policy), a List of people of self-identified African ancestry might not more than a few notable additions besides Rachel Dolezal; she stands out because she is an outlier. Being potentially controversial is no cause for deletion (Wikipedia is not censored); however, this subject is only controversial to editors who have not previously been involved in Native American subjects. In Indian Country, self-identification of Cherokee descent is widely discussed and written about. Native American identity in the United States (that includes American Indians, Inuit, Yupiit, Aleut, and Native Hawaians—so it's not even a discrete ethnic group) does not compare to the identity of other ethnic groups because of its political status. Of course, a NPOV tone has to be achieved, but this is a challenge with innumerable articles and not cause for deletion. Yuchitown (talk) 16:17, 23 December 2018 (UTC)Yuchitown[]

Delete The criteria "Notable people who have stated that they have some Cherokee ancestry but are not enrolled citizens of any of the three Cherokee tribes" is problematic due to the fact that their status an enrolled citizen is A) unsourced and B) not an indicator of having "some" Cherokee ancestry. Most if not all of the entries are individuals who claim to have a small percentage of Cherokee blood; they generally are not claiming tribal citizenship. –dlthewave ☎ 23:15, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Comment I love this point, by you, as a classic example of moving the goalposts. Above, you explicitly spell out the criteria from the list 14 minutes before you try to change criteria of the list. Once you start changing the criteria, of course, then some of those on the list can have citations removed by not meeting the new criteria. Funny how that works. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 21:17, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[]

By removing the tribal enrollment requirement, I actually changed it to a more lenient criteria that would have allowed many of the entries to remain, but this change was quickly reverted. My subsequent removals were based on a lack of sourcing for the original criteria, "not enrolled citizens of any of the three Cherokee tribes". –dlthewave ☎ 22:44, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Strong Keep The various arguments marshaled for deletion are almost all Straw man arguments. When the arguments appeal to WP policy and guidelines about why the list should be deleted, the policies are either misrepresented or not applicable; please, check the links yourself. Throw in some disparaging terms like "listicle" or "listcruft" to question the list's very existence (plus I don't like it and They don't like it) and that covers the delete arguments. It is clear the list and the people on it fall under the linked guidelines. The remaining argument about lack of reliable and verifiable sources illustrate inadequate source evaluation skills of those making it rather than lack of sources. People on the list without R/V sources attached? Transfer them to the talk page under research needed rather than delete the list. This has been an ongoing standard for the list. I also note that User:NorthBySouthBaranof, the AfD nominator, recently removed four sources from the list under a "Trim sourcing overkill" edit summary while this AfD is ongoing, leaving only one source. And then, surprise! An editor removed Elizabeth Warren from the list because "sourcing is outdated". Some editors clearly do not want Elizabeth Warren on the list despite Warren being one of the more widely documented public cases. I'd gently suggest reading Wikipedia is not censored. I'm starting to get a real Ministry of Truth vibe. The phenomenon of people claiming and self-identifying as Cherokee is widespread. An article (predating Warren's Senate run, I might add) illustrates some of the factors around this: The Cherokee Syndrome. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 01:10, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Comment: I started my !vote/comment above without thinking much about Warren being on the list. I didn't really care. Now it seems obvious to me that this is cleansing AfD, a scrubbing of potentially damaging information from the 'pedia before her presidential run. That is why some of the delete arguments seem so weak IMO, because they start with a goal and then create a rationale. I'm certainly not saying all delete opinions here fall under that but a significant portion may. This is why the list/article history shows people removing citations/sourcing, not because the sources aren't reliable or verifiable, but to degrade the list as inherently unreliable as well as Warren's place on it. Wow. And I just noticed a few people definitely using some talking points from the Warren campaign (without mentioning Warren of course; that would be too blatant.) Now I'm starting to wonder whether anyone here is with the Warren campaign or a volunteer. Or paid. I know at least one person here has done paid editing in the past. Not accusing Clarityfiend of being paid for this, just wondering generally. This theory explains irregularities here and on the article page. I'm also beginning to wonder about Canvassing as a factor. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 03:00, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Comment - The issue with Warren is that this article was being (mis)used as a platform to rehash and (mis)present a one-sided argument about Warren, in a manner which was repeatedly rejected by consensus at Warren's actual biography. If an argument is rejected at one article, that's not license to go right ahead and do the same objectionable thing at an entirely separate article - that is classic and exemplary of a WP:COATRACK. List articles shouldn't be used for this, and that misuse raised the question of whether this should be a list at all. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 03:08, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Sooo, you're saying that unless information has been arbitrated on the main WP article of a person and confirmed as biographical canon there, editors can't express other facts about them? And you're saying Warren is the reason why this list is at AfD? That you strongly object to any variant or non-canon information anywhere on WP? Good to know. Is the article a "classic and exemplary of a WP:COATRACK"? No, it is not. Were there citations on Warren's entry that were not specifically connected to the page criteria? IOW, coatracked on her listing? Yes, probably. Did it violate WP:BLP? No. Really, NO. Some of the citations hung on her entry might have done so? The content of the page, though, did not violate BPL and the stated purpose and majority content of the page precludes being a coatrack, much less a classic example. The page predates Warren's active political life by a few years. If her entry was given undue weight over the years, that can be edited and discussed. Any editor could have come in and done that to the article. What I'm seeing, though, is a wholesale scorched earth policy to delete the page so Warren's entry can never be on the page, particularly if the list is deleted. Is the page/list framed/defined ideally? No. It was trying to describe (notable) people who lay claim to Cherokee identity without actually being Cherokee. Warren seems to be one but she is an incidental example of a much larger pool of people. This phenomena has been examined in academic books and journal articles and probably needs an article on it. I have rarely witnessed what has been going on during this AfD: the active degradation of citations. I absolutely mean it when I say most of the WP policies and guidelines linked by various people in this AfD are almost entirely specious IF YOU ACTUALLY READ THEM. Just because someone invokes a policy doesn't mean it's applicable. I've seen this in more than few delete rationales here. Also wikilawyering and attempts at intimidation (sorry, to gentle warn me to change my behaviour) using negligible grounds. This is not funny. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 00:38, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Comment The editor is reminded to Assume good faith, and hasn't offered any evidence to justify not doing so. All removals of content have been explained in edit summaries or on the article's Talk page, and are based on sound interpretations of Wikipedia policy that call for the removals. The editor can "wonder" whatever he wants, but when he makes unsupported assertions of bad faith here, he violates our requirement for civility and the spirit of this discussion. General Ization ^Talk 03:09, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[]

AFG is not a suicide pact and I do not have to AGF if evidence points elsewhere. I apologize for any perceived incivility on my part. I have been blunt here and sometimes not presented all my supporting evidence (diffs, etc.) for statements about what is going on here. I have not done so because it would take more time and effort than I have available for WP. This AFD is not ANI or some other administrative board and certainly it would be wasted effort here. I do, however, have some experience in researching editors when something seems off or there are discrepancies in the process, or actions don't match what is being said. I've observed abuse of process and gaslighting. If it quacks like a duck... It isn't incivility to state what is going on. As for "sound interpretations of Wikipedia policy", much of that falls to the abuse of process and gaslighting linked above. Wielding BLP as a cudgel to achieve a goal provides a technical justification for gutting the list as quickly as possible during an AfD, going from this to this. BLP throws a glamour of righteousness, of concern for WP's liability and people's reputations over it. Some editors might have used the process of an AfD to improve the citations if they were not adequate rather than razing it to the dead. It's possible some people might believe even the existence of this list on WP is somehow racist, unconsciously or otherwise. It won't be spoken of, that wouldn't be polite or civil, but WP has a pervasive bias on this front that has never been adequately addressed. You want citations for this? Do a little bit of research; it's not that hard. As for the list, the unwavering, steadfast dismantling of it with no significant adjustment through dialog on the talk page show a disregard for consensus and good faith engagement. That is a sad state of affairs. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 23:55, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep - It's reliably sourced and it's a notable topic. There's a WP article on the topic – Native American identity in the United States with a section that discusses self-identification. In fact, Cherokee should probably be dropped from the title and expand it to self-identified Native American ancestry instead. There are a lot of notable people who don't meet the criteria to be legally defined as having Cherokee ancestry, but choose to self-identify instead. There is academic research on the topic of the right to racial self-definition, perspectives on racial and ethnic identity labels, and independent sources that discuss the topic in detail, Native American Self-Identification. Some universities allow their faculty and staff to self-identify, with a detailed definition for self-identification. It makes perfect sense to have a list of notable people who fit that category of self-identification. I don't see how this list is any different from the other dozens and dozens of these sort of lists in – Category:Lists of people by ethnicity – that require self-identification for inclusion.—— Isaidnoway (talk) 23:02, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Comment - None of those other ethnicity lists include the qualifier "self-identified" in their titles. We don't have an article titled List of self-identified Greek Americans. It's just List of Greek Americans. So if this article is to be kept, I would argue that we have to remove the "self-identified" qualifier from the title for the sake of consistency and avoiding judgment. Also, none of those other lists, so far as I can tell, have, as this article has, devolved into a platform to argue that someone is wrong or bad or evil for merely being on that list. There appear to be troubling, and by all accounts, good-faith, issues about the meaning of identifying with Cherokee or indigenous ancestry in general. If that's the case, this subset may not be a good candidate for a list, which is by definition and practice not a good place for nuance. You either are or you aren't on a list.

Keep Built a well known landmark in the village. StaniforthHistorian (talk) 04:31, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[]

It is not clear to me that it is a 'well known landmark in the village', let alone that were it the case it would confer notability on the person who built it. I am seeing nothing but passing reference (and not much of that) outside of a self-published genealogical family website that does nothing to demonstrate notability. As of this writing, the article has five references: three are primary sources, two recording that he voted, plus his marriage record, one is a published pamphlet that gives him a single sentence, and the aforementioned genealogy website. I have serious concerns whether the entire contents of the infobox (if not the contents of the whole article) might not be Original Research. I am going to have to say:

Delete per above. Agricolae (talk) 10:37, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Delete Not close to passing GNG with the sources in the article or in my BEFORE. If Mosborough Hill House is notable (not clear to me that it is - the raw GHITs are not encouraging) - then that is a separate topic. Icewhiz (talk) 16:23, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Delete I don't find any coverage. Electoral lists do not constitute significant coverage, and the History of the Company of Cutlers ... simply names him in a list of masters and apprentices. The only other source I find is a privately published family history. Does not meet WP:GNG

Delete. Sources in article do not establish notability, and while I see various passing mentions in my BEFORE - I don't see in depth coverage. Icewhiz (talk) 16:26, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Weak delete There are additional sources, which seem to indicate other activities - unless they relate to a different Disney Staniforth (they refer to him as a merchant of London, and in relation to French ships captured as prizes). It does seem that he owned the patent on the plough mentioned in the article, as his widow's attorney published notices requiring payment of licence fees to use it. But I cannot see enough of these sources to see whether they amount to significant coverage - and if they do all relate to the same man, and it is SIGCOV, the article would need to be revised to include that information.

Keep as it meets WP:GNG. This company is regularly featured in high-key Portuguese economic-oriented newspapers who follow companies in the stock exchange market, such as Jornal de Negócios (belongs to Cofina, one of the largest Portuguese media groups) [4][5][6][7] or Jornal Económico (belongs to SAPO, another big media group) [8][9][10][11] - please refer to the search function in the linked websites for more instances of coverage. It was also featured in general-newspapers when covering investigations to some deals with the Navy [12], regularization of workers' situation following the acquisition of the government's shipyard in Viana[13], fines for insider trading[14] or litigations with other companies[15]. The onus is on the nominator to explain why the dozens of news articles that show up on Google search all qualify as press releases; the linked articles are all signed by different journalists and published by several major Portuguese newspapers. Público quotes an array of sources (from the European Comission to several politicians) in their first article, and the Mayor of Viana and a Spanish politician in their second, Diário de Notícias' story came from CMVM, not Martifer, Expresso clearly says Martifer did not give them any soundbites about the litigation.

Clint Baclawski

Doesn't appear to pass WP:NARTIST JC7V (talk) 07:53, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Clint Baclawski is a contemporary artist that should be included in Wikipedia. This page was marked for deletion due to possible "notability" issues. Baclawski was included in "The National: Best Contemporary Photography 2018" at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, Fort Wane, IA. Additionally, the Lehman College exhibit, "Castles in the Sky: Fantasy Architecture in Contemporary Art" featured Baclawski alongside artists Salvador Dali, David Lachapelle, and Claes Oldernburg.

The Boston Globe has written about Baclawski, once in 2015 [17] and again in 2016 [18]

His work is included in private and institutional collections. Baclawski has been featured in: FRAME magazine, The Boston Globe, The Creator’s Project, Boston Home magazine, Designboom, and The Collector’s Guide to New Art Photography Volume II.

Clint Baclawski should be included as a contemporary artist in the Wikipedia collection because he is currently making and showing art at institutions and investing in the next generation of artists while teaching students at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. If we do not include artists who are truly contemporary, we are doing a disservice to readers who go to Wikipedia to learn about contemporary artists.</include> Levesc12 (talk) 20:02, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep. Those two Boston Globe articles cited above do add up to something, when added to the article in Frame (conveniently but rather dubiously uploaded to Google Docs). And there may be other significant coverage (or if you prefer, "sigcov") as well. -- Hoary (talk) 23:37, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Delete There is one good source-- the more recent Boston Globe item. The 2015 BG article talks about him for a paragraph. Other items in the article and a search are weak and do not establish his notability as an artist.

Keep. Frame article was in print, web edition difficult to find. In regards to significant coverage (or if you prefer, "sigcov") there is also the article Phil Zminda, “Clint Baclawski Imagines An Ad-Less America In Flashing Lights”, Boston Art Review, Issue #02: Field Work, Fall 2018. The web version of the article here.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Levesc12 (talk • contribs)

Levesc12, you appear to be connected to the article subject, as you claim creator credit for the pics in the article, and at least one of them also appears on Baclawski's own web site. Anything you would like to share? It would seem that you have a clear conflict of interest.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:24, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Comment. I'm surprised by the simple, comment-free invocations of "WP:SIGCOV". The latter comes with just two concrete [-looking] examples: an entire book about one person, and the most fleeting mention of one band. Clearly the coverage of Baclawski cited in the article or above is far less than the former, but this is true of not just a lot of biographical articles (an observation that famously isn't a valid "keep" argument) but the majority of them. (Yes, I mean that the majority of poets, photographers, phonologists, psychologists etc that get articles here don't have books about themselves.) Clearly the coverage of Baclawski cited in the article or above is far greater than the one passing mention of "Three Blind Mice" -- and of course this is an absurdly low bar, allowing in, inter alia, just about anyone who's ever been seen on TV kicking or batting a ball. JC7V, Netherzone, ThatMontrealIP, I'm interested: About how much more [independent, reliable] coverage of this fellow would you want to see before saying that it had added up to the point where one could call it "significant"? -- Hoary (talk) 23:24, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Miss Multinational 2019

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

It's too soon to have an article about this pageant which hasn't been held yet. There's a single third-party source cited; it doesn't confirm the specific sentence it's cited for, nor anything else in the article beyond the name of a single contestant. I found one other third-party source mentioning this pageant which provided equally little information (ie nothing useful). The title is wrong since the pageant held in January 2019 is actually Miss Multinational 2018, according to their website. I would have considered draftifying or turning it into a redirect to the main pageant page, but one of those approaches has been tried before, and I rather doubt the article's author would agree with the other.

Delete a non-notable boxer.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:45, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Delete. With one pro fight, he is clearly not yet notable as a professional boxer. As an amateur he reached a high level as a junior, including competing at the AIBA Youth World Championships 2014, the Youth Olympic Games, and the Junior European Championships,([22]) but as a senior ('elite') amateur doesn't appear to have won anything. The other avenue to establish notability is via GNG but I don't see enough. The sources cited in the article appear to be largely boxing fansites or primary sources, and while I found a couple of articles in reliable sources ([23], [24]), there isn't enough to justify an article at this time. --Michig (talk) 08:41, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Ritchie333 is probably the best person for roads but I'll make a start. Andrew D. (talk) 09:15, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep The nomination is incorrect in that this is the A503 and Wikipedia:Notability (highways) states that "In Great Britain ..., roads that are classified as ... A roads are notable and are suitable for inclusion." There's no separate page for the A503 – just a redirect. Pevsner tells us that it "was laid out in the 1820s" and so it has about two centuries of history now. In London, that's plenty of time to accumulate lots of notable buildings and inhabitants. For example, see Congo on the Camden Road – an interesting account of missionary work emanating from the Baptist chapel there. The Survey of London and the Victoria County History have more details. Overall, the worst case would be merger into some other page such as Camden and so there's no good reason to delete this. Andrew D. (talk) 09:15, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]
Andrew Davidson, I think it might be better merged into a larger article as a Google search brought up no sources on the topic. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 10:12, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]
Maybe an article could be created at A503 road and this merged there. Crouch, Swale (talk) 15:00, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

A Google search, such as the link at the head of this discussion, gives me over half a million results for "camden road" and so it's puzzling that Tyw7 is getting nothing at all. I have made a start on expanding the article and still reckon that this is better than starting afresh. Andrew D. (talk) 16:28, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]
Andrew Davidson, I don't consider them relevant as most of the top results talk about the station not the road itself. And I don't think they support why the road itself is notable. They talk about properties on the road. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 17:29, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Several GAs, including Oxford Street, Regent Street and Leicester Square spend a considerable amount of their respective articles talking about properties on the streets, which is beneficial as if those don't pass notability for a standalone article, we can write about them there instead. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 22:30, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Ritchie333, By properties, I mean listings like https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/property/london/camden-road-nw1/ and https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/spacious-apartment-1-min-from-camden-town-station.en-gb.html

The first few pages of the Google search yielded results such as http://www.londontown.com/LondonStreets/camden_road_dbc.html, which is common on just about any London Street. It doesn't state why /this/ street is notable.

If we include listings such as these, the article would turn into a classified ad.

To my knowledge, there isn't a historic significance to the road, and initially, I thought this wasn't an A-road. I thought it was just a mundane London road that sits between two A-roads. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 01:19, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep Just because all the sources needed to expand the article are old and paper-based, doesn't mean we should throw the article in the bin. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 22:27, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]
Ritchie333, when I nominated it, web searches brought up only mundane or passing by references to the road. I still think that the road barely scrapes by the notability criteria. I think it should be merged into another larger article. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 01:21, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep When I looked at this yesterday, I would have said "Redirect to Camden Road railway station without prejudice against re-creating if sources can be found to expand beyond a couple of lines of text", but (fortunately?) I got sucked down a rabbit hole about Nikolaus Pevsner and the Pevsner guides (Do people in England generally know about him? I grew up in Ireland and never heard of him until yesterday. Fascinating fellow.) and by the time I was done it was already time for bed. Full credit to Ritchie333 for fixing this one and a fine WP:TROUT for Tyw7 for making a "notability" argument when "The article as is is a useless content fork and should be redirected somewhere else" would have been perfectly fine -- it's OP arguments like that that give so-called "deletionists" a bad name (at least among so-called "inclusionists"). Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 01:42, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Note that I'm not certain this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and I actually still suspect the title should be redirected to the railway station and this article moved to Camden Road (road) or something less silly sounding. The fact that web searches apparently don't bring up anything worthwhile would seem to indicate that for people who don't live there the railway station is more likely what they are looking for (and the relative lengths of our articles before this AFD artificially expanded the road article would seem to support that). That's a matter for an RM, though. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 01:46, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Hijiri88, well I initially thought it had failed the road notability, not realizing that it's an A-road!

The useless fork could be considered a "weak" argument.

As mentioned above, a Google search of the road brought up more articles on the station on the road than the road itself. It has its usual assortment of businesses, none of which would be notable.

The N-highway seem to indicate that ALL A-roads are notable, which is another argument on its own. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 01:52, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

The useless fork could be considered a "weak" argument. Well, that would depend. If you really want to see the page deleted and wiped from Wikipedia, then it's obviously a non-argument. However, since the railway station article isn't going anywhere, the title would need to exist anyway, so you might as well have just redirected and if someone reverted you with a similarly weak argument like "They're different topics", AFD would be the place to come, and "useless content fork" is actually a strong argument if what you're looking for is a redirect.

All that being said, you seem to be retracting your initial !vote, so is it safe close this as "speedy keep"?

Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 01:59, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Hijiri88, weeelll I still think there's nothing notable about this stretch of road to merit its own article. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 02:15, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Delete This is a non-notable theory. It has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the person who created the theory. The intent seems promotional, which is contrary to Wikipedia's purposes. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:11, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Looking at the troll level of objections I suggest the conflict of interest is from the other way round. The term 'transcendental imaging' is entirely valid i.e. a square can represent a trapezoid (FACT). That trapezoid ordinarily cannot be accessed cognition-wise (FACT) because it looks like a square and not a trapezoid (FACT.) That aspect of imaging beyond ordinary cognitive access is 'transcendental imaging.' I made every effort to take that out of the equation by my intial page called 'The Pictorial Condition' but it was my theory in the essay so I called it 'Stott's Theorem of' as builds on the first rule of perspective which is that shape represents form. It's not new knowledge but a further description of what that knowledge is as I describe in the article now on PHILPAPERS. it's an established site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to change it to the kown title because there were objections to the title because nobody had heard of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan Van Carloads (talk • contribs) 10:43, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[]

If the above commentator has only half a brain that's his problem, not a problem with 'transcendental imaging'. Can the said person work out 1+1=2? Get a phtograph with some objects on it, cut round them with some scissors and then put the pieces on the table in front of you and you might comprehend that 2D shapes represent architectonic form. OK???????? ONCE YOU HAVE THAT KNOWLEDGE have you the brain to then apply that knowledge to all 2D shapes???????????????? i.e visual chaos, patterns, newsprint, computer game stills, page layouts etc. It's transcendental because it's ordinarily to hard to see it because a square looks like a square, see???????????? The statement is a qualification of the matrix of that, in clear and simple language to anybody with a brain. OK???????????????? If you're going to put comments here, how about comments with some intelligence to them, rather than silly political empty headed drivel.

perspective has been around for 600 years, this aspect has been validated by academia. Take some time to look at the links etc. with respect.

CiaPan, transcendental imaging is the page name and it's been no.1 on google, bing and yahoo for over five years, therefore not original and notable.

With regard to Nick Moyes comments, I never thought Wikepdia was to promote unestablished theories but to log knowledge, as has been the case with the very reasonable KNOWLEDGE and BASIC KNOWLEDGE AT THAT, for example the impossible trident solution, the artificial imagination link, as an established work of art and the 'transcendental imaging' page which is ENTIRELY FACT-BASED and SIMPLE FACT at that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan Van Carloads (talk • contribs) 11:34, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[]

The article does not appear to meet notability guidelines for organisations. The only secondary source I have found is this article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-ouch-26866338, which only mentions Action Deafness in passing. CircleGirl (talk) 01:12, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Just some further comments-

Action Deafness appears to only work in Leicester and nearby areas. WP:ORG#non-commercial organisations advises that a non-commercial organisation should be national or international in scope to be noteable, unless there is something exceptional about the organisation that makes it noteable. Also, regarding Rich's comment that there are more sources cited in the history of the article- I have had a look through the history. For most of the article's history, no sources are cited. However, at one point the article cited two articles https://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/registerhomepage.aspx (all charities in the UK have a page on this site, so in my opinion, it doesn't show that an organisation is notable). The second article is this: http://www.loughboroughecho.net/news/loughborough-news/2009/07/08/group-to-be-homeless-as-chapel-is-to-close-73871-24106512/ However, it only mentions Action Deafness in passing, so I'm not sure if this really demonstrates that the organisation is noteable.CircleGirl (talk) 05:05, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[]

On Wikipedia, notability is demonstrated by significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Nothing you mentioned qualifies. In particular, you can't refer to user-generated content (IMDB) or to the rest of Wikipedia (categories or links) as indicators of notability. See WP:IRS for details on our sourcing policy. — JFG ^talk 01:51, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Relisting comment: The arguments given by the IP (and on which Roland zh appears to have based their !vote) are invalid. IMDb is not a reliable source, categorization and links on WP do not mean anything, and GHits only suggest that there are perhaps good sources out there, nothing else. So for the moment that only leaves the nom as a policy-based argument, hence the relist to obtain perhaps some more policy-based !votes.

Delete on account of subject failing both WP:CREATIVE and WP:NACTOR. More explicitly, as to the former criterion, there is no significant, source-based evidence out there that she is regarded as an important figure, widely cited by peers or successors, known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique. She "directed episodes" of Grey's Anatomy; she has not created nor played a major role in co-creating this admittedly well-known work. And as to the latter criterion, she has not had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions, nor does she have any kind of a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. We may be fans of her work but Wikipedia is neither a film journal nor some indiscriminate listing of information. -The Gnome (talk) 15:50, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[]

~~Very Tentative~~ SOLID Keep - My WP:BEFORE picked up a court injunction announced through a notice in the Ghanaian newspaper, Daily Graphic and a piece from the Graphic's website that discusses the school's previous site, and an article in Ghana Web (which appears to be a WP:NEWSORG), as well as an interview with an investigative journalist who appears to be prominent in Ghana who went to the school and describes some details of it, also from Ghana Web. I don't think the mentions in the Graphic do much more than substantiate the existence of the school, but the Ghana Web pieces appear to indicate potential notability. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is a bad argument by itself but it does indicate that, all other things being equal, we should lean towards keeping when we have sources that appear to be reliable and appear to potentially be WP:SIGCOV. I'm still very tentative about this one because so much depends on things about Ghana that I have no knowledge of (is the journalist actually prominent? is Ghana Web actually an RS?) so I'd welcome input from editors with more knowledge of Ghana.

I find it odd that this is another article that has been recommended for deletion from Wikipedia. Your opinion of the show being "softball" doesn't really bear weight on the significance of it's entry. I could say the same about "Entertainment Tonight" or "Inside Edition". There are plenty of MTV shows that have entries which are still on this site after years of being published. Here are a few for example: "We're Dancin'", "Squirt TV", "Amp" (which has two vague references), I could go on for days! The fact that entries on BET shows/hosts are being removed from this site while MTV articles, which far outnumber the BET articles, are not implies a sense of prejudice that is active on this site which reflects the real world. Yes, I know this site should not be the original record of information, so let's flush out the site to remove all of the other "obscure" cable shows, please. Silkysoul —Preceding undated comment added 15:30, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[]
- Comment The nomination instructions for WP:AFD are on the page, and I'd frankly support any nomination of any of MTV's shows with little longterm notability; please feel free to do so. My vote! here with this show is solely based on the lack of sources and the fact it had a completely generic format without anything unique popping out (if you go through my AFD history I've always taken a dim view on shows of this type with canned interviews and trailer footage, no matter the genre or viewer demographics). Frankly I'd love to see more BET shows get articles, but the network, like it or not, has had its quieter shows get barely any kind of notice from the press while overheated segments of ComicView and BET Uncut sucked up any oxygen those shows would have gotten otherwise, and if a show doesn't have many press or scholarly sources, it usually isn't retaining an article here, I'm afraid.

The subject is not notable 1. The subject has never won a national or even local election 2. The article is written in a POV format that is even referenced to his Facebook page 3. The sources are not neutral and not focused on him Vinegarymass911 (talk) 04:49, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Comment: There were a series of sockpuppetry and spamming in Bangla Wikipedia regarding this article and others similar to this one. All those articles have been deleted as clearly not notable. ~ Nahid ^Talk 10:56, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep The article cites two references to a journal. I'm entirely willing to flip to delete if it can be explained why these are not enough, but they haven't addressed it in their proposal. Yes, this is a cryptid and with 99.9999999% certainty doesn't exist, but that's not the essential issue here. FOARP (talk) 11:32, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep - besides the references in the article, it also has received some newspaper coverage, for example here and here. Rlendog (talk) 01:09, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Fails GNG, could not find sufficient RS coverage. –dlthewave ☎ 04:28, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Keep per previous AfD entry. Also, 5 mins on google scholar and I found mention of this animal/mythical creature in a RS, which I added to the page. This tells me that additional RS are out there, and that any problems the article itself has should be fairly easy to clean up. Ryan shell (talk) 16:57, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Inadequately sourced BLP; the one source (which is promotional) does not even mention this person. Appears to fail WP:GNG; Google searches point to other people with the same or a similar name. Cisco Networking Academy also appears to fail notability; its article was deleted by PROD in 2017 as a copyvio. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 04:23, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

No coverage in RS (or anywhere else that I could see for that matter), does not meet WP:GNG, WP:NBIO. I found a bunch of articles written by her for Deutschlandfunk, but that doesn't establish notability as it's by the subject, not about the subject. According to the article history, it was translated from an article on the German wikipedia. However, the German article itself was deleted on the 26th of October (discussion here, in German of course). German Wikipedia doesn't have the same guidelines as English Wikipedia, but in this case the closing consensus reasoning seems to be the same as my own (no coverage of the subject in reliable sources). _signed,Rosguill ^talk 01:28, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

This German article was victim of a vandal with administrative rights and subject of a mass deletion attack. You hear this correspondent several times a week on air, making her notable to be listed in Wikipedia. The vandal also deleted the biographical article of the head of the Berlin studio of this public broadcast station, witch is even more relevant. The problem with this vandal is, he was accused to have worked to another opposing media company, and has removed criticism in related articles, which appears to be WP:COI. --Hans Haase (有问题吗) 09:24, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Being on the air several times a week is not a notability criterion. We need coverage in independent, reliable sources about the subject. As far as I can tell, by "the German article was victim of a vandal with administrative rights", you mean that you nominated them for a vandalism investigation, which was closed without finding of fault on the part of the accused. Regardless, the nature of the German article and its deletion really doesn't matter: what matters is being able to provide sources that actually establish notability as per English Wikipedia's guidelines _signed,Rosguill ^talk 00:54, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Comment, the german discussion says it all - Koch appears to be "just doing her job", has she received any awards, is she/her work discussed? that said, a redirect to a section on "presenters/reporters" at Deutschlandfunk may be appropriate as a wikireader search.Coolabahapple (talk) 21:11, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[]
