The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP.

I feel like this should be discussed. It's a borderline meet of WP:NBAND at best, not seeming to meet any other criterion than perhaps #7: "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city". The scene in question being Israeli melodic death metal. And maybe not that either? Geschichte (talk) 19:50, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[]

  • Delete. This article failed WP:BAND as the band is non-notable. They failed to chart since formation and every source I found is unreliable, non-independent, trivial, and poorly sourced. They never appeared in local or national news, which is one of the major factors this band is non-notable. Based on what I searched on Google, the band rarely appears, even on news articles. With that being said, The Fading should never have a Wikipedia article. A2013a (talk) 23:07, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[]

@GhostDestroyer100: Album reviews don't count as criteria for notability. See WP:INHERITED for more information. A2013a (talk) 11:45, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Sorry, I came from huwiki where they count as reliable sources. But the rules are different here, I know, so I say they aren't notable because I couldn't find anything reliable about them anyways, but that's partly because of the bland name. Anyways, if this goes, the album should be nominated as well because it's just as unnotable. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 18:40, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[]

  • Delete. Clearly fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBAND #1 for lack of quality sources that are independent and contain significant coverage. The sources in the article are unreliable such as social media websites like Facebook and blogs. A BEFORE search yielded nothing; although it's possible Hebrew language sources exist either offline or behind a paywall in a newspaper article. Does not meet any of the other NBAND requirements either.4meter4 (talk) 19:36, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Non-notable software release. Only citations are to primary sources, youtube, and to passing mentions stating that this software is used by a specific university. ST47 (talk) 18:28, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[]

There are 34 editors against the deletion so far and no comments in favor (except ST47's one). I think some comments in particular clearly describe how important this software has been in various contexts. It seems this has no relevance for the decision though, so I am not sure why a discussion for deletion has been started. I feel sad when I read "comments which have been haphazardly thrown onto this page": people spent time and energy to write those comments, express their opinion, actively contribute to this discussion and in turn to the quality of Wikipedia. Discussions should be one of the principle who guide Wikipedia but it seems the comments have been ignored, superficially evaluated and not taken into consideration. Furthermore, I have received a warning related to a Sockpuppet investigations on my account, so I guess someone thinks I have used multiple accounts to write these comments. Really? Anyone who knows a bit of my history and my level of commitment knows that I would never even think to do something like that. I am pretty sure you have all the technology means to assess that the comments below are not mine (except one). Ugeeeen (talk) 09:58, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]
That's all nice and dandy, but this is not a vote, and 34 "editors" who clearly are only here for one purpose and who fail to cite any relevant Wikipedia policy, and which were obviously canvassed here, is not worth much, beyond suspicion as to the motives of said "editors".

Hello. I don't agree with the fact that DaDaBIK is not-notable software. It was one of the very first no-code/low-code platform (first public release: 2001, ~20 years ago); considering the importance of this market nowadays, in my opinion - even just for historical reasons - it should be on Wikipedia. Its Wikipedia page has been here and regularly updated since 2011. Apart from the historical reasons, DaDaBIK is still relevant today, more than ever, with thousands of customers all over the world and a community that has produced almost 20k messages in its forum. About its use by Universities: Universities have been used DaDaBIK a lot for several aims (internal admin tools, research purposes, teaching), sometimes it's hard to give a proof of all these uses because in the vast majority of the cases, we are talking about internal processes/tools; however, If you check Google Scholar for "dadabik", you will get lots of entries and this should suggest the fact that is notable in the academic world. I can try anyway to improve the page. Thanks. Ugeeeen (talk) 19:13, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[]

Hello there, I have to agree with the rest here as the chairman of Asparna research center for software. Our student researchers are using DaDaBik for several years with good results. We feel it fills an important gap between heavyweight prototyping and the manual tedious work of programming from scratch. It is definitely important in the NGO/NPO, Educational and Governmental spaces where budgets are slimmer. We hope there is no real reason for this deletion as we think it is substantial software, and definitely not non-notable (I would advise marketing it harder though!) -- All the best, Etamar, 7pm August 27 2021 (UTC)

Hi. We have been using DaDaBIK for several years and our trainees are able to develop their own applications in a few days. This is a great software and we do not agree with the deletion.— 94.31.90.86 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 11:33, 23 August 2021 (UTC).[]

Hi. I also do not agree that DaDaBIK is not-notable software. We have been using it for several years. We are a small museum with limited budget, and it ideally suits our needs. It is easy to set up and to use. Software can only be developed if it has a user base that warrants the development work, and in order for people to find out about it, it needs publicity, and Wikipedia is an ideal way of getting that. Please reconsider the suggestion to delete this from Wikipedia.— 77.75.110.165 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I don't think DaDaBik is a non-notable software. I am one between thousands of users of this great software and I think the page in Wikipedia can help people know more about it after a search of Google, if they, like me, are allways going to Wikipedia in order to know more about something.

Agreed. Dadabik is used by many people and companies, I am not sure why deletion is necessary and seems to contradict the Wiki spirit.— 66.186.210.171 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 11:41, 23 August 2021 (UTC).[]

I don't agree that DaDaBik is non-notable. I use this software as the primary front end for online databases and find it the most useful of any software I use.

I'm a former user of DaDaBIK. I'm also against the deletion of the entry. Rather, I would like to see the entry further modified (by third parties) and expanded by pointing to other no-code/low-code CRUD platforms (possibly with a comparison page). Danzac64 (talk) 11:57, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[]

DaDaBik is a notable software. There are just a few CRUD solutions as complete as DaDaBik. Please do not remove it.— 170.250.194.111 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 12:12, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

I do not agree with this deletion! As a supporter and donor of Wiki for many years now I feel this is entirely inappropriate. I have used this software for many years as a database front-end software to several databases in the not-for-profit sector. It’s designed for its ease of use by non-programmers and used by thousands across the World. It was so unique when it appeared 20 years ago ….and still is to this day. Its creator Dr. Eugenio Tacchini has spent many years improving and building on the application and it has a huge following. I personally believe that the reason the Wiki team have come to this conclusion is because of its perceived low-profile. Probably because it’s not sold off the shelf as a finished product, but as a software which underpins one. Its popularity, function and importance is therefore hidden from obvious view. I fully understand Wiki’s researchers for coming to this initial conclusion, and I know we have no real say in this matter…..but I respectfully request this decision is reversed so that Wiki can continue to make the World know about Dr Tacchini and his team’s incredible software and the valuable contribution they make to society as a whole. Please seriously reconsider this decision.— MarcLow (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 12:20, 27 August 2021 (UTC).[]

Disagree with the delete suggestion and the offered reason. DaDaBIk has been around a long time. It is stable and is continually developed and maintained. As noted by others, it is used by many thousands of institutions and individuals as a low-code front end to SQL-like databases. It long ago made the transition from free software to paid, which means the market finds value in it. You can find it listed in many online sources for database front ends, such as https://www.gadgetxplore.com/database-management-tools/ to take one example.Dh10~enwiki (talk) 12:24, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[]

We have been using Dadabik for many years. Deleting it from Wikipedia would be a shame.— 2003:c3:c721:fb00:a815:1016:e81f:a014 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 12:27, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

I use DaDaBIK for commercial purposes. I can confirm that it is a notable software. It should have an article on Wikipedia.— 195.111.130.65 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 12:30, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

Hello all. IMHO Dadabik is a notable software and i think it's relevant to give it a page on Wikipedia ! Dadabik lives for almost 20 years and it does not have serious competitors as a database front-end software. New versions are released on regular basis and use newest technology. I use Dadabik for commercial purposes too. It's quite important for end user customers to see we use notable software as it has its own Wikipedia page ;-) 80.12.85.16 (talk) 12:42, 27 August 2021 (UTC)— 80.12.85.16 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

As an IT consultant, I have used Dadabik for numerous projects spanning multiple Fortune 500 companies over two decades. It is definitely worthy of a Wikipedia page, more so that most of the so-called celebrities that have a page IMHO. I suspect there are few external mentions/links if, like me, most are not in a position to disclose proprietary information; ergo, cannot link to the apps we create. Dadabik is notable software, without a doubt. Sounds to me like there's and admin who needs to do better research.— Grimblefritz (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I volunteer for a small community museum and we use Dadabik to catalogue all our exhibits and documents. We looked at a few other museum software packages but found Dadabik is by far the easiest to develop and use. It is notable software, up to date and widely used.

DaDaBiK has been used by us for many years and is an important asset for many of our projects including student/course management, COVID-19 sample management, inventory management, and content management. It is a highly versatile software with an active community, regular updates and developments. We strongly disagree that DaDaBik is a non-notable software, contrary DaDaBiK is an excellent tool for database development, teaching, and practical applications.Stefan.taube (talk) 15:18, 27 August 2021 (UTC)— Stefan.taube (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

DaDaBik is certainly not "non-notable" software. It should certainly remain on Wiki to facilitate more people finding out about this excellent tool for integrating websites and databases. It's also updated regularly and I don't really understand why it's deletion from Wikipedia is proposed.— 2001:bb6:aac7:e800:741e:c730:bfb9:a394 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I can't understand why the article about DaDaBik should be deleted. I owe a lot of information about software to Wikipedia. And DaDaBik is certainly not one of the negligible applications. Tikita (talk) 19:21, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[]

Hi all. DaDaBik is mature (~10 years old), reliable, used by thousands of applications and still actively supported. That doesn't necessarily translate to non-notable. It's still a solid tool for fast development and its reference should remain on Wikipedia. Cheers!— 2601:644:8900:2ba0:a40a:3f6:a9aa:ab41 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I'm an early adopter and we keep a couple of instances at the Semmelweis University in Budapest - one of the highest traffic cardiac centers in Europe. It has notable features and those who seek a solution for a PHP database frontend would find out that it offers even more nowdays.

Please do not delete. My company has been developing websites using this software for over 10 years. It is a great platform for the developer with limited experience in PHP and Mysql who is interested in quickly setting up a website but in the process experiencing a learning development process and understanding of underlying principles involved.

To write that DaDaBik is non-notable says much about the writer and not much about DaDaBik. The writer's comments about citations may be correct, but a simple browser search would reveal the non-notable comment to be nonsense. The editor should clearly state what needs to be done - without uninformed editorializing. Constructive criticism is good. Unsupported conclusions are contrary to what wikipedia is all about. DaDaBik should retain its place in wikipedia.— 71.12.235.73 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 02:19, August 28, 2021 (UTC).

We considered many museum software packages and CMS products for image management when starting to digitise several hundred thousand images in the NZRLS archive, and selected DaDaBIK as a mature and well supported product to build from. It has the capability of customisation at multiple levels depending on technical skill, enabled the quick development of a prototype by importing a database and now has delivered a front-end package with straightforward multi-user access control and no annual fees. It's definitely notable software. LurkingKiwi (talk) 03:51, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]

Multiple versions have been evaluated for vulnerabilities and are indexed by the US National Institute of Standards and Technologies [2]. An unimportant software package would not be subject to this kind of evaluation and scrutiny. In my opinion this subject meets notability criteria. Medmyco (talk) 15:45, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[]

I retired as an Asst. Vice Chancellor at UCLA in charge of the campus-wide administrative information systems. I rely on Wikipedia to find background on the development history of products and companies I am considering. These days I am leading a project to develop a web site for my county's genealogical society and evaluated DaDaBIK and eventually purchased it for the society to host our large local records databases. I note that there is significant interest in the product among many other genealogical and historical societies as well. I have seen a lot less significant topics on Wikipedia pages than this one. Please do not remove it. Don Worth, Oxnard, CA

We have used DaDaBik for our business for at least a decade. It is not "non-notable" and should not be deleted from Wikipedia.

For many developers and business information systems planners, references to application generators is important. Not being a "significant" market product should not cause reference access to diminish for the sake of potential growth and business development.

Comment Could anyone provide just 2 (not more) best reliable sources (eg. reviews in published/online magazines, peer reviewed papers in good journals independent on the software authors)? I´m leaning to delete this one otherwise. Pavlor (talk) 10:20, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Hello. I have added/fixed several external references to the "Popularity and notability" section, including a Google Scholar link where you can find many publications (also journals) discussing DaDaBIK. DaDaBIK has been featured in popular press as well, for example on PHP Journal (German paper magazine, no more active) and PC Professionale (Italian magazine, still active), during the next few days I will try to add correct references for these as well. Ugeeeen (talk) 12:39, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Could I ask only for best two of these sources to be linked/cited here for my (and others) convenience? Pavlor (talk) 12:44, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]
With "here" you mean here in the discussion and not in the article itself, right? Yes, I can do that, but I need time to go through all of them. I will do it within the next few days.
I want to add that I have just read what Grimblefritz wrote on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Ugeeeen and I think he/she made a very good point about how to evaluate the notability of a software. I invite everybody to read it.Ugeeeen (talk) 15:28, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Well, Wikipedia has its own somewhat arcane rules: eg. WP:N and WP:RS for start. Arguments like those used by Grimblefritz have next to no value in discussions like this. Notability issue aside, without reliable source, we can´t even write an article (WP:V). Pavlor (talk) 15:46, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]
As I pointed out above, multiple versions are indexed by NIST which is pretty much the gold-standard for notable software. I consider that more of a notability credential than a mention in the back pages of Wired. Medmyco (talk) 17:55, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Also here are two links to solid peer reviewed literature citing DaDaBiK: The first reference is from a computer science journal and lists it as a first suggested development tool, comparing a few others packages to it [3]; and the second provides an example of its integration in the study of plant chromosome number [4]. Medmyco (talk) 18:08, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]
As these sources aren´t directly available, I need some time to access them (few days at most). Before I look at them, could you please summarize how much space is devoted to DaDaBIK? If it is only a mere mention or a sole short paragraph, these sources probably would not suffice to establish notability of the article subject. Pavlor (talk) 08:22, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Pavlor, I looked at "Chromosome numbers of the flora of Germany" and all it says is "we used DaDaBik". So I suppose that means something out there in the world, but it doesn't mean much here. Medmyco, what we need is secondary sources that discuss the topic. So that other article might be something but this isn't. Drmies (talk) 21:06, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Drmies, the other article evaluates four applications using "The analytic hierarchy process". "In this study, four alternative database development tools are evaluated: DaDaBIK, DataFlex, Oracle Application Express, and FileMaker" [5] so yes, it discusses the topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ugeeeen (talk • contribs)
Thanks. I just browsed the other article (Evaluating distributed IoT databases...). I think it could be an useable source (impact factor is 3.734 and the article author seems to be independent of DaDaBIK). However, as it is a simple comparison of 4 products, there is not much space devoted to DaDaBIK itself (one to two short phrases per evaulation criterion - there are three of them - few tables and a mere mention in conclusions). If this is the best source we got, I don´t think this is enough for a stand-alone article. I will try to find some suitable redirect target. Pavlor (talk) 07:53, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Drmies, It's a journal, independent, they evaluated software alternatives using a framework. Among all the possible options for database application builders (if you google that, you'll probably find hundreds of options) they chose four tools, including DaDaBIK, and they evaluated those four tools, the whole article is about this evaluation. This should be enough according to WP:N. I have checked about half of the platforms available in No-code_development_platform, they have a stand-alone article and none of them have journal sources.
As noted by Medmyco, its presence in the National Vulnerability Database of the National_Institute_of_Standards_and_Technology is also a pretty solid reference [6].
Finally, if you are looking for popular press, please consider PHP Journal (German paper magazine about PHP and Web development, as many other IT-related paper magazines, no longer published), there is an in-depth review about DaDaBIK that consists of six pages in the Nov/Dec 2010 issue.Ugeeeen (talk) 11:48, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Quality of coverage is the issue here. Few phrases in one source can´t show notability of the article subject. However, that magazine article you mentioned looks promising, could you provide more precise citation (author, publisher, issn)? Offline sources are fine, if there are more of this kind, I think there is still a hope for this article. Pavlor (talk) 15:47, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Pavlor, I can add more sources but I have the feeling that some comments have been ignored so I would like to summarize what we have so far:
  • two editors (including me) pointed out that the presence in the National Vulnerability Database of the National_Institute_of_Standards_and_Technology is a solid source and proof of notability. Do you agree? If not, why?
  • When you said "Few phrases in one source can´t show notability of the article subject.", if you are referring to "Evaluating distributed IoT databases...", I don't think this is true. If we want to count the occurrences of the word "dadabik" in the article, they are 24, but does it make sense to evaluate the coverage counting the number of words/sentences? The important thing is that it's not a minor mention, the whole article is about using a framework to evaluate those four softwares, isn't it clear to any expert of the field that they have been chosen also because of their notability?
  • The PHP Journal reference: Carsten Möhrke, "Ersteller eines Datenbank-Frontends mit Dadabik" (PHP Journal, issue Nov/Dec 2010, neue mediengesellschaft ulm mbh). Here [7] you can find a temporary picture of the cover that shows that the article about DaDaBIK was one of the cover stories
  • PC Professionale is one of the leading IT-related paper magazines in Italy (founded in 1991 and still available). Here are two articles about DaDaBIK: [8] and [9]
  • html.it is one of the leading web magazines about Web development in Italy (founded in 1997 and still available), here are an article by Andrea Ferrini [10] and here are two articles by Claudio Garau [11] [12]
  • Linux.com, "Create your Web database applications with DaDaBIK", short article about DaDaBIK [13]
  • Louie Andre, DaDaBIK Review on financesonline.com [14]
There are for sure other sources and I haven't had the time to go through all the google scholar records, but I think this is already more than enough to prove notability. Ugeeeen (talk) 18:50, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[]
My short review of your sources:
  • presence in the National Vulnerability Database of the National_Institute_of_Standards_and_Technology - a mention is a mention (nothing for notability in the Wikipedia sense)
  • If we want to count the occurrences of the word "dadabik" in the article - there is not much real content about the article subject (the only criterion that really matters here)
  • first PC professionale - short news (useable in the article, but adds next to nothing to notability)
  • second PC professionale - another short news (well, somewhat longer than the previous)
  • first html.it - short describtion
  • second html.it - short news
  • third html.it - another short news (well, somewhat longer than the previous)
  • Linux.com - ultra short news with a link to external site with user submited content (note there is no info about staff or editorial policy, not a good sign anyway)
  • financesonline.com - is this even a RS? Phrases like "Create a Listing for Your Product" or "Why write guest posts for us? You can tell people about your company and promote your brand" certainly raise some questions. Sure, this review was written by a staff writer, but I can´t take this page as an independent source. Smells like a paid advert site.
Conclusion: Only real source showing notability of the article subject is the 6 page article in the PHP Journal, which we have no access to (well, I will try to find it in library). We need multiple good sources to establish notability of the article subject. Pavlor (talk) 05:30, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
I strongly disagree with most of your points. I have the feeling that you just want to delete the page, no matter what:
If my intention was to delete this article, I could simply write: "Delete Not enough coverage in reliable sources to establish notability of the article subject". Instead, I´m trying to find good sources among those you posted (and no, I have nothing against PHP Journal, I wrote above it is a good source, but one source alone can´t show notability of the article subject). From your reply above, it is obvious it was a waste of my time. Note I think there may be other sources like the PHP Journal one and the article subject may be notable enough for an article, but I´m in no mood to look further. Hope this ends as no consensus, because many regular editors would not take lightly such a horrible canvassing etc. and would be inclined to "vote" delete unless really convincing sources are presented. Pavlor (talk) 08:32, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Another, additional source [17] Ugeeeen (talk) 08:11, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Whoever canvassed the multiple editors who contributed here and said, essentially, "keep it, it's a good product" or words to that effect really did everyone a disservice. There are few things that serious Wikipedia editors hate more than a flood of "yeah sure keep it" from people who've never contributed. And it seems to me that here we have a few dozen geeks (you know, IT-computer-database savvy people) who are all rushing to say "yes keep it", and none of them, including the creator, ever took the time to acquaint themselves with our rules and policies and guidelines--but you are exactly the kind of people who should know how to navigate websites. The current version of the article doesn't have a single link which could be called a "secondary source", never mind an independent one. Seriously, a Google search? It doesn't matter that it's a Google Scholar search: it's the equivalent of "Google it", the standard answer on Facebook to any serious query. I am sure y'all can do better than that, but so far, in this last decade, you haven't done it for this article. Drmies (talk) 21:35, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[]

I apologise for the involvement in bludgeoning, but sincerely my comment was not intended to do this (and I think my comment was not simply stating that the software is good and shouldn't be deleted). I'm not connected to Ugeeeen and I'm not using DaDaBIK anymore (I used it for a Diploma Thesis of a student of mine long time ago). I understand very well the reasons of the admins (looking for popularity and notability of the software; looking for independent or secondary sources) and I don't argue on this. I would like anyway to add a tiny contribution to the discussion mentioning that also FileMaker, Oracle APEX and DataFlex (i.e. the DB handling tools evaluated in the paper [18] together with DaDaBIK) are all entries in Wikipedia.

Someone said "a mention is a mention" and it's true, I agree, however considering the quality of the publications and the number of mentions, I think this last point could still be taken into consideration, together with all the other sources, to prove notability.Ugeeeen (talk) 09:24, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[]
User guides and manuals are primary sources and they're not useful for writing an encyclopedia, because WP:NOTMANUAL. This being used by scholars as a common tool is not a good argument either if you can't find WP:GNG-compliant sources to back it up. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 12:02, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]
WP:NOTMANUAL says that Wikipedia is not a manual, not that guides cannot be used as a source. Furthermore, that guide is absolutely not a primary source (see also [28]). But apart form that, you are missing my point, what I wrote is that [29] can be used to prove notability, not necessarily as a source in the article, because - again - WP:NEXIST. Ugeeeen (talk) 12:20, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]
But what would you expect to get out of a manual, except non-encyclopedic information as to how to use the software? In either case, it would be a dubious source, since it's essentially self-published by whoever wrote the guide. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 23:46, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Well, in the previous comment you stated that such guide is a primary source and it's obviously not. I think you can extract some useful information from manuals and guides but the important thing is that there isn't any rule that prevents the use of guides and manuals as a source (in fact you can find manuals and guides as a source in other articles). Having said that, I think you are still missing the point, we are not discussing which sources to use in the article but if there are sources that prove notability WP:NEXIST. Actually, this work should have been done BEFORE the nomination for deletion, as explained in WP:BEFORE, regardless of the sources currently used in the article.

Hong Kong: Comparative Education Research Center [CERC]/ Springer, 2007". European Education. 41 (2). M. E. Sharpe. ISSN 1056-4934.

      The article notes: "This volume is an indispensable contribution to the field of comparative education that will allow future generations of comparativists to attain an understanding of the field’s history and epistemological platforms. Part I delineates the rich develop- mental history of the World Council of Comparative Education Societies (WCCES). Part II is composed of twenty-two chapters devoted to articulating the history and development of WCCES member societies. Full chapters are not available for all of the member societies, which numbered thirty-six at the time of publication. In consideration of space, editors Masemann, Bray, and Manzon elected to devote full chapters to member societies founded prior to 1995 and with longer histories. However, each member society is acknowledged and its summary information provided. Full chapters are allocated to Europe-based national associations in Germany, Britain, Spain, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, Greece, and Russia."

      The abstract notes: "The Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) has, throughout its 50 years of existence, exercised leadership in the field of comparative education. It was one of the five societies that founded the World Council of Comparative Education Societies (WCCES) in 1970, an umbrella body that by 2006 brought together 35 national, subnational, regional and language-based societies. The CIES has continued to play a major role in WCCES affairs. The relationship has had ambiguities, while it has also provided many synergies for the promotion of the field of comparative education on a global basis. This article reviews the relationship between the CIES and the WCCES throughout their intertwined histories."

      The abstract notes: "An overview of the World Council of Comparative Education Societies is also discussed, including its lead organizational role in serving as a historical hub to help comparative education societies preserve and disseminate their respective histories"

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow World Council for Comparative Education Societies to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

GreenForestRanger, it might be easier to list two or three sources that provide in-depth coverage so can we see if the WP:GNG is met.

Vexations Thanks for your comment. It would be good for someone from WP:VISUALARTS with a cross-disciplinary arts background to weigh in on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GreenForestRanger (talk • contribs) 18:55, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
GreenForestRanger, this discussion is listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Visual_arts/Article_alerts For what it' is worth; while I am not listed as a participant of that Wikiproject, I do have a "cross-disciplinary arts background". I have access to a fair number of arts publications either through the Wikipedia Library, a university or subscriptions to periodicals. Despite that, and reading every single source ever listed in the artcile under discussion, I have not been able to find the best indication or notability: significant coverage in several independent, reliable sources. I'm hoping that if such coverage exists, you might be able to point us to it. If it doesn't, then please just say so because in that case, we can focus on other ways of establishing notability, like museum collections. Vexations (talk) 19:18, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Vexations Thank you for your comment. I'm surprised that you don't find the citations independent and reliable, or the body of the coverage taken in its entirety as significant. IMDB requires third-party verification, Jaxsta is drawn from record company metadata, musicbrainz contains the attribution codes. I think I've provided the link to the Accession Numbers for ACMI's permanent collection as well as the footage of Federation Square, Melbourne and the QVMAG permanent collection accession numbers.
If what you are looking for is press, there is some but I have been struggling with it as, for example, major articles were published prior to digital archiving. Even The Australian, Dec 8th 2004 ‘Screening the Truth’ is only archived as a title in the Wayback Machine, but not the entirety of the article. Studio Sound, ‘Winning Women In The Industry’, November 1990, Studio Magazine,‘Frills and Spools’, December 1990, Audio Media, ‘The Female Touch’, February 1991, The Independent,‘Cutting Through Tape’, Oct.1991, The Mix,‘Fiddling the Meter’, November 1994, BBC Radio 1, Women’s Hour ‘The Glass Ceiling’, TX November 1995, Opus, ‘Sadia: the Equa Project’, October 1996 - none of these are archived. Even Music Week, ‘In The Studio: TUC United Against Racism ‘RESPECT’ June 1996 only digitally archives as far back as 1999. I am frustrated by this and if you can suggest some way around it, or some online resource, that would be great.
Some of this surrounds my work as a woman record producer in the late 1970's and 1980's, when there were almost no women in positions of authority in studio control rooms as record producers. The journey from there to working as an installation artist with work in at least one significant permanent collection [ACMI [[43]] is detailed here [[44]].GreenForestRanger (talk) 20:24, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
GreenForestRanger, it shouldn't surprise you that I do not consider IMDB unreliable; Wikipedia:IMDB explains it. As for older sources; articles have been indexed before the internet archive, and while they may not be easy to access, there is no policy that says sources need to be available online, they just need to be published. I'm getting some hits on ProQuest, and I have found the article by Lawrie Zion in the Australian with EBSCO (Lawrie Zion. “Screening the Truth.” Australian, The. EBSCOhost, https://search-ebscohost-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/login.aspx?direct=true&db=bwh&AN=200412081014587991&site=ehost-live. Accessed 7 Sept. 2021.), available via the Wikipedia Library. I should note that Zion's article doesn't appear to mention you, so that does not help. Vexations (talk) 21:24, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]

GreenForestRanger, that's too much for me to try to look up. All we need is two, maybe three articles that are more like (and I know this is not a great example, but I happened to be reading Salle's article on Janet Malcolm and this was the first profile I could think of) https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1994/07/11/forty-one-false-starts That's in-depth, significant coverage of a notable subject in an independent, reliable source. Can you name two? Vexations (talk) 22:14, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Vexations I'm usually interviewed to talk about my installation work in context although the Evelyn Tsitas interview above is a good one. So the arts references are either contained above or in the Talk Page's article references, with the exception of ‘A new era of recognition and voice has begun for QVMAG and the community’, The Sunday Examiner, August 29th 2021 which just opened and includes the permanent installation of my 'All Time and Space Fold Into the Infinite Present (Cataract Gorge)' in its three video channel, sixteen audio channel, forty-five foot iteration in Gallery Eight at Royal Park. There's more 'profile' material as a music producer esp the 'woman in a man's world'. I'm trying to remember which of these were good interviews. I'd say Recording Musician,‘Production Lines’, August 1992, is good; Music Week, ‘In The Studio: TUC United Against Racism ‘RESPECT’ June 1996 was a good profile of me at work on a big project in Metropolis Studio A (London)and is the major music industry pub in the UK; Audio Media, ‘The Female Touch’, February 1991; The Mix,‘Fiddling the Meter’, November 1994; Herald Sun, ‘Melting Pot of Sound’, October 1996 was a good interview around 'Equa'; as was The West Australian, ‘Tropical Heartbeat Meets Technology’, September 1996 (I did seventy-six interviews for the Equa (Polygram) project over a week in Melbourne and Sydney in 1996, I'm trying to remember which were the good profiles); there's The Independent,‘Cutting Through Tape’, Oct.1991 maybe. There's a lot of it but not The New Yorker :) It's nice that you're taking such an interest, if nothing else I shall go to sleep thinking that another person has been introduced to my work. À demain.GreenForestRanger (talk) 23:14, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
To conclude my thought from last night, as you've jogged my memory: In 1996 I produced an album called 'Equa'[[45]] for Mercury Records (AUS) which was part of Polygram Australia and now Universal. The single off the album was 'Departure', which went into heavy rotation on Triple JJJ [[46]], the national Australian radio station and part of the ABC Australian Broadcasting Corporation. There was second single 'Samayah' did the same. I think that "11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network" is notability criteria for WP:MUSIC so there might be one to add there (along with 'has won or been nominated for a major award', see below). Polygram flew me from London to Sydney on the Sunday and for the duration of the next four and half days - three in Sydney and one and a half in Melbourne - I did on average seventeen interviews a day - one every half hour - mostly press. Started to lose my voice on the third day. So challenging because you really want to give every interviewer something real and from the heart. So there's a lot of press out there from Australian sources around Sadia and the Equa project but I don't include them because I can't access them.
Of course I went back to Melbourne in 2004 for the MIFF premiere of The Noon Gun and again in December when my single-channel work 'The Memory of Water (Part One)' was exhibited in 'Proof' and in rotation on a program loop on the external and internal screens at Federation Square, Melbourne, etc as discussed above.
I think that's about it. WP:MUSIC I would hope I pass for "gold album in at least one country" and now as well for "has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network"- also 'has won or been nominated for a major award' (Equa[[47]] - Cat# 1743842 ℗ 1996 Mercury Records Pty. Ltd. was ARIA [[48]][[49]] nominated in 1997 - I forgot and have now included it with the précis and links, below) - and WP:FILM, "selected preservation in a national museum" and/or "included in history of cinema programme." If you can access print - as we've discussed above - much press arose in the 1980's and 1990's - in Australian and UK newspapers and magazines - but I've not included print material I can't access but maybe somebody else can. I've included the digitised references I could find on the Talk Page. But I think it's going to have to be taken collectively as a body of work.
If there's anything else that you feel might be important I'm happy to do my best to answer you Vexations but I really do need to step away from this now. Thanks.GreenForestRanger (talk) 09:52, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[]

  • CommentHi GreenForestRanger, I know this can be a frustrating and confusing process. A few thoughts: based on your description above, I don't think you're likely to meet WP:NMUSIC, since it sounds like your activities were as a producer; see this discussion about producers. You may want to read WP:NARTISTS, in particular #4, which states "The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." If we have reliable, independent sources that identify your work by name as being within a permanent collection, that could be relevant. (For comparison, note that this is an example of a source that does not mention you or your work by name, but it is independent, by-lined, and published by a reliable source.) As with Vexations, I'll repeat the request for 2 (or 3) sources that directly address you and your work in depth (see WP:THREE). The most likely path towards keeping this article is to provide sourcing that indicates you meet WP:GNG. If you can identify two by-lined articles, published by non-local publishers, that are independent from you and your employers and are not primarily interviews, that would be the most useful evidence for resolving this discussion. Otherwise, I'd like to say that being "non-notable" in the eyes of Wikipedia is not an insult: the vast majority of authors, artists, academics, and people in general don't meet WP:GNG, and we can't WP:OVERCOME a lack of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Suriname0 (talk) 23:44, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Hi Suriname0 Frustrating, yes! Partially because I have multiple times posted or included links to ACMI's own website and their internationally significant permanent collection - the collection metadata of which can be found here [[56]] including my name, exhibition history and ACMI Identifier (accession ID). This links directly to the museum's online permanent collection records. I don't like to assume so here is ACMI on Wikipedia [[57]] if you are unfamiliar with the institution.
My activities in WP:NMUSIC were not only as a producer but also as a co-writer on almost all of the 'gold and platinum albums' catalogue (linked above) - verified here from record company metadata [[58]] and as the artist (I am half of 'Equa' - goes to WP:MUSIC 'heavy rotation national radio' and 'won or been nominated for major award' as you will see under composer/lyricist here [[59]]). I can also send you the musicbrainz link with attribution codes if you like.
You'll find my work in this article including images ‘A new era of recognition and voice has begun for QVMAG and the community’, The Sunday Examiner, August 29th 2021 - apologies clearly I pointed at the wrong article for the permanent install in Gallery Eight [[60]] as discussed above; the work was acquired by QVMAG through the Ralph Turner Bequest in 2014 and the Accession Number is QVM:2014:FDV:0001 (you can see the gallery label for the accession details here [[61]] if you cannot find it online).
For two by-lined articles, published by non-local publishers, that are independent and are not primarily interviews I would direct you to: Herald Sun, ‘Melting Pot of Sound’, October 1996 (Australia); Herald Sun ‘Keeping Eyes on the Truth’, December 2004 (Australia); Contemporary Visual Arts and Culture, ’Proof’ March-May 2005 (the arts broadsheet); The West Australian, ‘Tropical Heartbeat Meets Technology’, September 1996; The Australian Arts Review (2019) [[62]] (the headline images are also mine); Sadia, S. “Ghosts of Noise” and “What is a Model Citizen?”, in The Model Citizen, edited by Sean Redmond and Darrin Verhagen. Melbourne: RMIT Gallery, 2019; and 'Hartley, John, Steve Kurtz, Mike Stubbs, and Clare Pentecost. Proof: The Act of Seeing With One’s Own Eyes. Melbourne: ACMI Australian Centre for the Moving Image, 2004'. There is also Music Week, ‘In The Studio: TUC United Against Racism ‘RESPECT’ June 1996 (the major music industry pub in the UK). Thank you for your interest. PS. please check out the updated article on the Talk Page [[63]] if you haven't already.

  • Comment Suriname0 Please combine sources. "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" [[64]GreenForestRanger (talk) 23:33, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]
  • Comment Suriname0 There is this article mentioning that her work was added to QVMAG's permanent collection: https://www.pressreader.com/australia/mercury-hobart-magazine/20210828/281668258064885 but WP:ARTISTS says represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums, and this is just one. This seems to be a case where a person is just shy of notability in several different areas, which unfortunately doesn't add up to GNG. Her musical group Equa seems like it might qualify for its own article, however - maybe that could be a compromise? Niftysquirrel (talk) 14:04, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Hello BubbaJoe123456 and Niftysquirrel My work forms part of the permanent collection at ACMI [[65]] and the accession details are here [[66]]. It formed part of the major exhibition 'Proof: The Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes' curated by Mike Stubbs. The QVMAG link should have been here ‘A new era of recognition and voice has begun for QVMAG and the community’, The Sunday Examiner, August 29th 2021.

GreenForestRanger, I get that it mentions a work that you made, but it doesn't mention you. Half a sentence is not significant coverage: ..., and The Memory of Water, an enigmatic installation strategically placed at the exhibition entrance that features several pairs of eyes gazing at us in a series of close-ups Sorry Vexations (talk) 11:44, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Vexations The problem is that the archived version does not include the full spread image above the fold. I can't do anything about that unless you can find it. I have photos here but no scans.
I'm afraid that a photo would not make much of a difference. It's still just half a sentence. Vexations (talk) 12:02, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Vexations I'm sorry I have to step away from this again. You have music databases that go to me as an artist (Equa), songwriter, composer, lyricist and pioneering woman producer. My work forms part of the internationally significant permanent collection at ACMI - I have provided documentation of this multiple times - the most visited moving image museum in the world - (as well the recent acquisition and permanent install at QVMAG [[69]]) - and my films have been included in a history of cinema program at the most prestigious film institute in the world the Cinémathèque Française. I have provided documentation for all of this. I have press but I suspect the music press will more closely fit your requirements as published by non-local publishers, that are independent and are not primarily interviews - as it provides extensive coverage of my work as an artist(music) rather than an interviews with me as an individual. A selection is included in my reply to Suriname0 - and in the discussions above. There is little more that I can do! GreenForestRanger (talk) 12:15, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]
GreenForestRanger "my films have been included in a history of cinema program at the most prestigious film institute in the world the Cinémathèque Française" Could you point me to the sourcing for this? The citation in the article just provides a link to the Cinémathèque Française homepage. Thanks. BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 19:54, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Hi BubbaJoe123456 The link under the Cinémathèque link is the archived programme for the 'soirée exceptionelle' as part of the Cinéma d’Avant-Garde / Contre-Culture Générale. The film 'Lit From Within' is directed by me. I also directed 'San Francisco Redux No.1' (with Anthony Stern and SW Tayler). I contributed to three of the other films on programme as well (producer, editor, etc) but am only claiming the films I directed. The programme was curated by Nicole Brenez the noted film critic and curator for the experimental cinema programs at the Cinémathèque Française. (‘San Francisco Redux No.1’ went on to be screened at Lussas ‘États Généraux du Film Documentaire’. It was most recently exhibited as part of ‘Breaking Convention’ at the University of Greenwich in August 2019 [[70]]GreenForestRanger (talk) 23:23, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]

BubbaJoe123456 Thank you. I've noticed errors in the article - but I can't seem to access the source on the Talk Page article to correct it. I can delete everything or nothing - and edit the preface to the article but not the article itself - but deleting the whole thing would remove the COI. I don't know why it seems to be malfunctioning but it's been doing it for a while. So I can't fix it. I've tried to address some of the corrections here in the AfD discussion. It's frustrating. The material is out there but it's been a long time since I've looked at this. I also keep forgetting to include things (for example, I also produced The Fixx [[71]] Then and Now, etc. - I think they were much bigger in the US than in the UK.

Apparently now it is frowned upon but the "use of IMDb as an external link is generally considered appropriate' [[72]]. I'm not quite sure what this means.GreenForestRanger (talk) 16:32, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[]
GreenForestRanger IMDB generally isn't considered a reliable source, because the content there is heavily user-submitted, and there isn't much editor review. They also take stuff from sources like Wikipedia. The "use of IMDb as an external link is generally considered appropriate" comment refers to adding a link to an article subject's IMDb page in the external links section at the bottom, as I've done in the article.BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 17:25, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG notability. Even with a WP:BEFORE, coverage of him is either non-independent, or non-substantial (passing mentions).

For some additional background/context: This was originally soft-deleted in a previous AFD I opened in November 2020, and was requested for undeletion in December 2020 by a user stating they would "add verifiable sources" and "readdress any concerns". Since nothing in the article's body has been changed (and since the undeletion request only pointed out the existence of sources that are either non-independent or unsubstantial), I'm opening this for discussion again.

Many of those are sources I found when I did my search and dismissed as not meeting WP:SIRS. The NY Times article is pretty good (even if it's more about James P. Broderick than about The Hope Line), but that's the best of the bunch. One of the refs is just a link to a photo??? The BronxNet ref is a classic passing reference; it just mentions The Hope Line in a list of agencies. I don't have access to Disaster Psychiatry so can't say anything about that. The Bishop Garmendia reference is a page on the founder's own website, so not independent. The Bronx Free Press story is questionable. As far as I can tell, this is a blog post, so probably not a WP:RS. The nonprofitlight.com ref is a directory listing ("Data for this page was sourced from XML published by IRS (public 990 form dataset"). And catholiccharitiesny.org is the parent organization, so again not independent. With a couple more sources like the NY Times article, I'd be happy keeping this. As it is, it's pretty marginal. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:44, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[]

"Biography" of a television character, written entirely in-universe and not making or reliably sourcing any context for why he would be independently notable as a separate topic from the show. As always, Wikipedia is not a fansite on which we keep standalone articles about every individual character in every TV show; we need external analysis of his significance and cultural impact in real media, not just in-show plot details, to make him notable enough for his own article.

Article was PRODded before (frankly for an invalid reason), so here we are. The article claims (and this is backed up by MIAR) that the journal is included in Scopus. However, searching "Scopus Preview" for the ISSN or journal title shows that this is incorrect. It also proudly proclaimed to be "supported by Publons" (I deleted that particular gem). Even if true (I didn't check), Publons also "supports" OMICS journals, so this is not directly a glowing recommendation. Other indexing services listed were completely routine (GScholar, DOAJ, etc). In conclusion, this is a non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG. Hence: delete.

  • Keep. Also @Randykitty:, the journal has been accepted in Scopus in July 2021 (the title of the journal is Soft Computing in Civil Engineering). It took a bit of digging, but MIAR confirms it (under Journal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering). If you follow the MIAR Scopus link, you're taken to http://miar.ub.edu/indizadaen/2588-2872/scopus, which has the Scopus Excel list of sources, and you can find it under "Soft Computing in Civil Engineering" / ISSN 25882872 in the second tablet "Accepted titles July 2021".

Well the cover has "Soft Computing in Civil Engineering". But the website, ISSN, and inside of the journal (i.e. [110]) have "Journal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering".

Biography of an activist, not reliably sourced as the subject of sufficient reliable source coverage in media to clear our notability criteria for activists. The primary notability claims here are that she maintained a website, and that she was "involved" in unspecified ways in somebody else's legal complaint -- except that the website was the involvement, and the somebody else was her business partner in the website, so that isn't actually a distinct notability claim from the website. But launching a website isn't an "inherent" notability freebie in and of itself, and the sourcing isn't adequate to make her more notable than the norm for launchers of websites: there are just three footnotes here, of which one is the website metaverifying its own existence, one is her obituary in her local hometown newspaper and one is a (deadlinked but waybackable) media hit which briefly mentions Sheila Steele's name in a timeline of her business partner's legal fight, which is not substantively enough about Sheila Steele to claim that she would pass WP:GNG on that basis alone.
And even on a ProQuest search I'm not finding enough improved coverage to turn the tide: I get hits which mention her name in the process of being about the website or unrelated and not-notability-building stuff about her son contracting necrotizing fasciitis, the obituary that's already been cited here, and completely coincidental text matches for different Sheila Steeles, with virtually nothing that's substantively about Sheila Steele as a subject for the purposes of establishing her notability.

Was kept at the previous AfD due to a now-deprecated older version of WP:NFOOTBALL, which permitted anyone that played in the CAF Champions League, even if it was one game between semi-pro teams, to have an article. The reference is now dead but he apparently made an appearance in a game between Séwé FC and Mighty Barrolle, both of whom play in leagues listed as not fully professional at WP:FPL, therefore he does not actually meet NFOOTBALL, which requires him to play in a game between two clubs playing in an FPL league.

I have investigated whether he played a game for FC Gloria Buzău and concluded that he didn't because his name does not appear at Statistics Football, a reliable website which exhaustively lists all players that played in the top 3 divisions of Romania for the last 70 years. He also doesn't have a Soccerway page. In fact, all I can find is an empty Transfermarkt profile.

I tried PRODing the article but it was removed. In my proposed deletion of the article I wrote "Only sources are Lego blogs. Is a non notable Lego theme (only a couple of sets). It should be deleted or merged to another page." Adding to my previous points: There has only been two Lego Powerpuff Girls sets: 41287 Bubbles' Playground Showdown and 41288 Mojo Jojo Strikes (Source). The Lego Dimensions sets do not count towards the theme (71343 The Powerpuff Girls Buttercup Fun Pack and 71346 The Powerpuff Girls Team Pack) because they are not part of the theme.Sahaib3005 (talk) 19:50, 2 September 2021 (UTC) Brick Fanatics, BrickEconomy, thebrickfan.com, Brickset, Brickfanz, ToyNews, etc are all blog sites and should be removed. www.lego.com and warnerbros are primary sources. The only good source I can see is the Variety source [111] but it does not even mention Powerpuff girls.

"It also coincided with a double page spreads in national publications Front and Guitar and Bass Magazine as well as a UK tour with Northern Irish band Mojo Fury" sounds like a great case for NMUSIC/GNG, except it's unsourced and unsourceable. PROD declined for a reason that isn't clear @Violarulez and NemesisAT:, and a BEFORE indicates no evidence that this was a notable band. AfD isn't cleanup, but text like "2010 saw them sign to Big Scary Monsters Recording Company, which concluded with the release of the six-track EP Rammin' It Home in August" has me fairly sure this was a copyvio from a prior version of their website or some other source since offline.

You were the one arguing that every run of the mill Ace was notable regardless of sources. If you didn't write it, your first response to anything on WP is to delete it. Jamesallain85 (talk) 23:03, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[]
There's nothing "run of the mill" about being an ace. There are fewer aces that there are Brigadistas. No my first response is not to delete, it is to look at the sources and see if they establish notability, which in this case they don't. My pages are always reliably sourced from the moment I create them, something you and other users would do well to follow. Mztourist (talk) 03:14, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[]
There are more than 1000 British aces from World War I alone. If you count all of the aces for each country that is an automatic pass for notability for thousands upon thousands of people. Which is fine in my opinion, what bothers me is that you set a double standard for other articles such as this one, which has multiple sources and significant coverage. However, he has more significant coverage and is more notable than many of the aces which get an automatic pass. You are correct, being a Brigadista in itself isn't notable. However, he is one of the few Brigadistas that as provided insight to the Spanish Civil War and is often referenced when Brigadistas are discussed, which is notable. It's almost like you have a bias against everything you didn't have a hand in creating, and you haven't always reliably resourced your pages. That was the issue I had with John B. Selby, it was started with a single source but you sternly fought to keep it. I had an easier time finding coverage for George Watters than I did Selby. Jamesallain85 (talk) 20:56, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[]
The vast majority of those aces each has a page, because they meet WP:BASIC. Whereas for this guy we have a dearth of sources. I don't know if Scottish newspapers are short of stories, but there was practically nothing written about him previously and he certainly is not "often referenced when Brigadistas are discussed". There are numerous books about the Spanish Civil War, if he was "often referenced" then he would feature in some of them. The only bias I have is against pages that don't meet BASIC. Your Selby and Jacobson nominations were simple REVENGE. Mztourist (talk) 03:13, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Hmm yes, why would major Scottish papers write about Scots? Especially after the publication of a book about Scottish contributions to the world stage? Or the announcement of a Scottish play about the contributions of Scots to the world stage? Especially about a time when fascism by major global players in Europe was on the rise, but what relevance would that have today? Truly baffling CiphriusKane (talk) 02:49, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Nothing contemporary was written about him, a few Scottish newspapers recently writing about a "local hero" doesn't establish notability. Mztourist (talk) 02:56, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
If I may ask, why nae? Is he only considered notable if English papers write about him then? Because the repeat attempts to dismiss the sources for being Scottish sure feels like that CiphriusKane (talk) 03:01, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Nothing pro-English or anti-Scottish about it. I oppose all these pages based on a few recent nostalgic stories about "locals heros" in the local newspapers as a basis for notability. If he was truly notable there would be contemporary sourcing or significant coverage in books. Mztourist (talk) 05:49, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Except ye're calling Dundee and Glasgow local to Prestonpans, and have repeatedly claimed the sources are irrelevant for being Scottish. This indicates either an ignorance of Scottish geography or a disregard for Scottish sources. The East Lothian Courier is local. The Deeside Piper is local. Calling the Herald (based in Glasgow, nae East Lothian or Edinburgh) and the Sunday Post (based in Dundee, nae East Lothian or Edinburgh) "local" frankly seems like ignorance at best, and an attempt to diminish or disregard Scots sources at worst CiphriusKane (talk) 06:36, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
By "local" I meant of interest in parts of Scotland only. I have no interest in the microanalysis of Scotland or its newspapers. You seem determined to take offense or call racism and I'm not interested in that either Mztourist (talk) 07:29, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Nah, I'm questioning why ye seem determined to diminish/dismiss the sources for being "Scottish papers" and claiming that there is zero reason to be interested in him, even though in 2019 he was the subject of a play. Let me repeat that, he was the subject of a play which was reviewed by the likes of The Guardian and The Times, and which was performed in the New Diorama Theatre in London and Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. The play was performed as far away as Inverness and Wick (which is on the opposite end of Scotland from Prestonpans). So, with all due respect, yer claims about "local heroes", "slow news days" and "of interest in parts of Scotland only" is frankly horseshite CiphriusKane (talk) 15:51, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
I have explained already that those stories in minor papers of a local hero don't meet BASIC. In relation to the play we have no way of determining how much is factual and how much is artistic license. The Guardian and Times reviews are RS for the play (if it has a page), not for him other than to say that a character based on him was featured in a play. And saying "with all due respect" before calling my comments "horseshite" doesn't mean its not a personal attack. Mztourist (talk) 17:20, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
And here we go again with the factually incorrect arguments. The Herald is the world's oldest national daily, and the Sunday Post once had the highest per capita readership penetration paper in the world. They are only "local" and "minor" if ye consider Scotland to be a community council. Also I didna claim that the play reviews lended notability to Watters, just that yer repeated argument that Scotland should be ignoring Watters is fallacious. So tell me, seeing as Scotland's oldest national daily and one of Scotland's largest Sundays are considered to be too "minor", what would a suitable RS look like? Because based on yer arguments, anything Scotland produces is incapable of determining notability CiphriusKane (talk) 02:44, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[]
As I said I have no interest in the microanalysis of Scotland or its newspapers, the fact that the Herald is the world's oldest national daily and the Sunday Post once having the highest per capita readership are both incredibly granular claims of their importance and irrelevant. Both stories were written as a result of the play, not due to Watters actually being contemporarily notable. We have too many of these pages about non-notable, long-dead people being given some minor exposure then a handful of newspaper articles are written about them and then suddenly they're deemed notable Mztourist (talk) 03:16, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[]
We already have numerous articles on people who are actually notable. What we have here is an article about a nobody who's only claim to fame was being part of a notable organisation. The sources provided by Curbon7 are mentions in two Scottish newspapers, while grahamstevenson.me.uk doesn't appear to be a reliable source. Mztourist (talk) 10:42, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Two nationwide Scottish papers and a local Scottish paper, all of which are several paragraphs of biography. I've removed the Stevenson source as it looks like a WordPress blog CiphriusKane (talk) CiphriusKane (talk) 12:21, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[]
  • Mztourist, the grahamstevenson.me.uk source is reliable despite being an WP:SPS since it was written by Graham Stevenson; SPS makes the distinction that self-published sources written by experts in the relevant field are generally reliable. Curbon7 (talk) 21:09, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[]
I disagree, it is WP:SPS, his wikipage says that he's a historian, but I don't see anything to support that. What books has he written? He seems to have co-authored one book. So does that make him an expert? Mztourist (talk) 02:59, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[]
The play may be notable and worthy of a page, but he clearly isn't as there was minimal contemporary information about him. Mztourist (talk) 04:04, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]
I see your point, but the amount of contemporary coverage could be countered with the argument that there are plenty of examples of people whose works/actions only really attracted attention long after their achievements. However, I would note that the British Newspaper Archive would seem to point to his disruption of the Mosley meeting in 1936 and subsequent court case being reported in newspapers across Scotland, and even one in Northern Ireland. That said perhaps if deletion is decided upon then some of the material about his life could go in an article about the play? Dunarc (talk) 19:08, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]

  • Keep. Passes WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG. My university music library contains scores and recordings of some of his music. Additionally, his works are discussed in some academic music journals. For example, his piece Vertigo is one of the pieces examined in Chapman, Jane (2001). "Notes inégales in contemporary music?" Contemporary Music Review, 20(1), pages 59-69 which is a scholarly work on employing baroque harpsichord techniques within contemporary classical works. His 2004 work with Anna Best, Vauxhall Pleasure, is analyzed and discussed in detail on pages 83 and 84 of Judith Rugg (2010). Exploring Site-specific Art: Issues of Space and Internationalism. Bloomsbury Academic. ISBN 9781848850644.. Here is a review in Gramophone of his music; although brief. His music is also discussed in Julio d'Escrivan (2017). The Cambridge Companion to Electronic Music. Cambridge University Press. p. 243. ISBN 9781108547376. And that's just with a cursory 10 minute search in my university search engine.

Notability of the subject cannot be proven through proper reliable sources. Although it undoubtedly has “meme notability” for the sake of websites like Know Your Meme, this is not enough reliable notability to demonstrate that it belongs on Wikipedia. Even if notability could be proven (which a look into potential sources leads me to believe it can’t), the abysmal sourcing and non-relevant content makes it a case of WP:TNT Paragon Deku (talk) 16:59, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]

  • Keep. The WP:TNT rationale doesn't hold up - the article isn't perfect but in no way is it unsalvageably bad to the point of requiring deletion (I'm not really seeing significant problems with the content itself - sourcing could be better but it's really not that bad). manga-news.com looks potentially reliable - though I can't really assess the source at a deeper level as I don't understand French. Same situation with kaorinusantara.or.id in Indonesian. Finally, though this isn't cited in the article, the manga was also reviewed by notable YouTuber Akidearest: [118]. WP:NBOOK requires The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. I think this manga does meet that criteria, and therefore is notable. Elli (talk | contribs) 18:08, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
I don't really think a review by a (semi-popular) youtuber really counts towards proving the notability of a novel. There are several notable youtubers who have made references to pornographic novels that don't have their own pages. Something being a popular meme in a niche group doesn't immediately make it article worthy. As for sources, I'll provide a detailed breakdown on the issues with them in chronological order.
  • A blog by an Italian /b/ user that hasn't been active in months and has no provable notability
  • The book itself for publisher information
  • A forum for a retailer that sells the book
  • A Know Your Meme page
  • A review in a modestly notable manga website from France (practically the only good source here as you mentioned)
  • An article about a spinoff from an indonesian website (only mentions the article subject to provide context)
  • An imgur link of a scanlation
  • The website that sells the book
  • The book itself (again)
  • A youtube video (sponsored by the company that sells the book)
Besides the fact that there's only one evident reliable source, the article itself has basically nothing besides a sprawling plot synopsis and brief notes that act like a sales pitch more than encyclopedic content. If you took out all the information that comes from Know Your Meme in particular it would have literally nothing but a plot and author notes, hence my TNT comment. Paragon Deku (talk) 22:04, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]

I would, but Gaioa already did. Link20XX (talk) 15:07, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Most of the sources are problematic; such as the publisher of the book, retailers, and the book itself. The book itself is a primary source, and the publisher and retailers make money off of sales of the book which makes them not independent. Blogs and other personal websites and social media platforms are entirely self published and lack editorial oversight from which we are able to prove both independence and reliability. The only source for which we can prove independence and reliability is the French language magazine review because it is not self published and it is independent from any financial conflict of interest. Best.4meter4 (talk) 15:24, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[]
All of the websites of the reviews I linked (Manga News, Manga Sanctuary, and Planete BD) are considered reliable as per WP:ANIME/RS. You can see the discussion as to why they were added here. While I do not disagree about primary sources, or the state of the article, I fail to see why you discount these reliable sources. Three reviews in reliable and independent sources (which you have yet to answer my question as to why these reviews are primary sources) meet WP:NBOOK #1.

Jclemens there is only a single link provided, not multiple links. Further, the source is basically a personal website by Gabriel Chow with no editorial oversight, and as such is a self published resource. As such, it doesn't meet the quality standards for RS required to meet GNG. While I certainly agree it's plausible off-line French language sources exist, it's my view that we favor deletion in cases where such sources aren't confirmable. We would never delete anything if we can just make a claim that sources exist without providing any real evidence that they do in fact exist. 4meter4 (talk) 17:40, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]

  • 4meter4 do you understand what an Archbishop is? Do you believe there exists any Roman Catholic archbishop in the 20th century for whom no evidence of notability exists anywhere, to include sourcing that is offline or in other languages?
  • Do you understand what a Cardinal is? Do you believe there exists any Roman Catholic cardinal in the 20th century for whom no evidence of notability exists anywhere, to include sourcing that is offline or in other languages?

Recently, an RFC overturned the assumption of notability with military officer ranks and frankly I think the same should apply to religious/ministerial positions. Yes, I do believe that some religious personnel of this standing may potentially lack significant independent RS and that presumed notability shouldn't be the standard approach utilized.

I will gladly withdraw once multiple RS has been found and presented here or in the article. Until then, SIGCOV hasn’t been met.4meter4 (talk) 08:27, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]
WP:SIGCOV is met when RS'es exist, not when they're identified, and not when they're added to the article. That's what the presumption of notability means. Keep reading and you find the following on the same policy page, under the WP:NEXIST section: "Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article." This is exactly what I did with the thought experiment regarding newspaper archives in Marseille, and with which you have declined to engage. I suspect the reason you're seeing no one else support your position, regardless of whether any of us have successfully gone hunting for possibly offline sources likely to be found in French, is that the main two possibilities are that you have a very broken understanding of how much coverage Catholic archbishop cardinals receive, or that the entire AfD is a WP:POINT violation. Both of these are very bad optics, but the more you write here, the less there is an obvious third choice which would explain your position as both competent and in good faith. You again have a couple of choices: Continue to write here and possibly explain things better or possibly dig your hole deeper, or withdraw the AfD. Your choice.

In my opinion, the posting of the article is hindered by the subjective attitude towards the heroine. Polly Cannabis deserves to be published on Wikipedia on an equal footing with other models! By deleting this article, the moderators show an intolerant attitude towards beauty contests and the fact that victories at them are less significant relative to other achievements, although this is also hard work!

  • To publish One of the few who represents the beautiful country of Belarus at the international level and wins, wins titles in well-known beauty contests. Polly is known in Belarus, Europe (proof of this by the victory of Miss Elite Europe in May 2021) and in the world as a woman model.

Deleting an article is a mistake, why 20 international popular beauty pageants are not remarkable? Does Wikipedia devalue women's labor and discriminate against women? While Polly Cannabis in her interviews (read) stands for body positivity, peace, equality and women's rights. This is not fair. The article contains dates, names of international competitions and titles won. Enough references and facts.

It cannot be deleted if the editors of Wikipedia do not recognize beauty contests, this does not mean that contests are not important, this is the same as not recognizing sports competitions and discriminating athletes and their achievements. Volha 1991 11:07 , 3 September 2021 (UTC) — Volha 1991 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • To publish

Deleting an article is an error. Polly annually represents Belarus on the international arena, is engaged in charity work and supports women's rights. Articles about Polly are published not only in major Belarusian mass media, but also in foreign media. This proves that the sources are independent and reliable.

I do not agree that Polly Cannabis's article is an advertising article: nothing is sold or advertised in it. The article contains facts about education, about work activities, about achievements and awards. World beauty contests are an important criterion for media coverage. It seems that an important factor in deleting an article is a gender attribute. Are women not so important? And not so famous? And they don't deserve the right to publish? I want to believe that this is not the case in 2021.— Tovpenec15 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

No need to pretend that this is somehow connected to gender. Wikipedia contains a very large number of articles about beauty pageants and about contestants of different genders (or none). There is an active Wikiproject which has presented a detailed set of guidelines for determining the notability of contests and participants; this is linked above. The case was made about it being somehow different from articles about athletes – in fact, the situation is parallel. Hundreds of proposed articles about athletes are declined or deleted because the athlete is not considered notable, and thousands of sports contests are utterly non-notable, which doesn't make the Olympic Games any less notable. Note also that "famous" is not a criterion for notability, and nobody has a "right" to a Wikipedia article. --bonadea contributions talk 14:51, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Why are you doing everything to infringe on the right to free publication of women from Belarus? Why are you so biased about women's achievements? — Gavrush89 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. 17:17, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Comment: Having the sources to pass WP:GNG is not the issue. It is WP:BASIC that is at fault here: even with the sources provided, the amount of coverage is trivial and leads to notability being questionable as a result. GUtt01 (talk) 18:04, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[]

I would only really agree on notability, if the article provided more content exactly. The only thing it was covering was just the company's part in a television programme and the director of the company, in brief lines. Even for a stub, that notability issue was a serious problem, and it was quite practically something that should have been sorted out. It was hard to understand how anyone hadn't, hence the AfD - if no-one had further added to the article to justify its notability since its creation several years ago, then either they didn't think to bother or couldn't provide more information because there were no verifiable/reliable sources to back it up.GUtt01 (talk) 18:22, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[]

While some editors who favored keep could plausibly have their !votes weighted downward by the group, rather than individual nature, of the award it is clear that even without that award there remains a substantial number of editors who feel that these topics meet our notability requirements, including that of sustained coverage. As such there is clearly no consensus at the current time. It may be possible to find a consensus in the future, especially as the issue of sustained coverage will have more information as coverage will either continue or it won't, and so it's recommended that no re-nomination occur for at least six months.

Death of Howard Liebengood[edit]

An earlier version of this article has already been deleted following an AfD discussion that I opened up over WP:SPLIT and WP:BLP1E concerns. That discussion agreed that there was no basis for notability on Liebengood's suicide, which I mentioned was not classified as a homicide (obviously) and therefore did not require an exhaustive investigation like with Brian Sicknick. Looking at the recreated article, I see not much has changed in terms of notability, and I don't see how it'll be raised now. Love of Corey (talk) 21:25, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[]

When you say "delete", are you referring to both articles, or just the main one? I have another article bundled into this AfD, which relates to another Capitol officer who committed suicide relatively recently. Love of Corey (talk) 22:16, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[]
  • Keep /unsure, per below comment on Aug. 21/ /Keep after all: event is notable & significant honor; Merger would be okay/ per WP:ANYBIO criterion #1, The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor -- the award is the Congressional Gold Medal (list of recipients, 176 individuals since 1776). The subjects of the two articles is twofold: A BIO1E that passes automatically as a biography because of ANYBIO #1, but also, the event itself is notable, and the dominant aspect of the articles' subject is indeed the event, which is the suicide. Per WP:BIO1E, The general rule is to cover the event, not the person -- the articles duly cover the events of the police officers' suicides, which were covered in considerable depth. Per WP:EVENTCRIT, Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, .... These suicides obviously have an enduring historical significance because they are closely tied to a massively important historical event, they are regularly mentioned alongside the casualties, and there's no indication that this would change; GNG is met, evident from the references. Non-notable biographical information does not form the backbone of the articles' content. The articles are fashioned after Death of Brian Sicknick, which is notable for similar reasons, but also because of the controversy surrounding that police officer's death. However there doesn't have to be a controversy for something to be notable. I don't like how the nominator chose to select the less developed of the two articles as the primary nomination. Participants in this discussion should look at the other nominated article, Death of Jeffrey L. Smith, first, to see what the intended form of both articles roughly is. — Alalch Emis (talk) 22:33, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Love of Corey, in response to your comment that not much has changed in terms of notability, basically, two things have changed: (1) the well-known and significant award was since awarded, (2) the subject has been reformulated as an event, instead of a biography, necessitating a different lens than the one used last time. — Alalch Emis (talk) 22:57, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[]
I would also rename to avoid the "Death of..." prefices. Their notability is not for their deaths alone, but for their participation in the insurrection response; for their deaths; and for the subsequent congressional recognition. TJRC (talk) 00:13, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Update: per my comment below, one of the various merges being proposed would be acceptable, too (e.g. to Law enforcement response to the 2021 United States Capitol attack or Aftermath of the 2021 United States Capitol attack). TJRC (talk) 19:45, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
@Mysticair667537: you've been... misled by the manner in which the four gold medals have been included in the list. Each of the four officers was awarded a medal individually (which is not reflected in the list, but is clearly and correctly and verifiably stated here), and ...the organization /OSS/ was collectively honored with a Congressional Gold Medal. So, four people individually vs. an organization collectively. — Alalch Emis (talk) 15:02, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Actually no. I've take a second look at all the sources and read the full text of the bill, and the reason four medals were given was: "one each to be displayed at the headquarters of the Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police, one at the Smithsonian and one at the Capitol." (NYT) It is not the case that four specific officers were each individually awarded a medal. All four medals were given to a collective. This means that Liebengood and Smith (and Sicknick, and Evans) are not, as individuals, recipients of this award. Nevertheless their names were noted in the bill, and were mentioned during the signing ceremony. This is still a major honor, but WP:ANYBIO #1 involving this award does not apply as it would had they been direct recipients. Not so sure about my !vote. — Alalch Emis (talk) 16:19, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Uhhhhh...but neither Liebengood nor Smith were confirmed to be behind any of the sabotage that happened that day... Love of Corey (talk) 06:20, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[]
BLP1E would not apply as the person is dead -- BIO1E would. Had the subject of this article been defined as a biography of the police officer who committed suicide, BIO1E would pose the question of whether to formulate the subject as an event instead. Incidentally, the subject is already formulated as the event ("death of..."), so we're past BIO1E issues. The delete side needs to prove how the event isn't notable or how it doesn't merit a separate article for some important reason. — Alalch Emis (talk) 15:45, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[]
I'd be down with that if the articles are ultimately kept. The articles even use much of the same references and don't seem to be in a need of expansion anytime soon. Love of Corey (talk) 03:02, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]
This is something I suggested on the talk page prior to the AfD. The other of the first two suicides. I think would be a satisfactory resolution to the perceived problem. Also okay would be a merger with a daughter article in the attack area such as Law enforcement response to the 2021 United States Capitol attack. It appears problematic to outright delete when the information included here (mainly the information in the Smith article), were it not included here, could (and would) simply be included in another article, i.e. a de facto merger would occur, and a regular merger is better. — Alalch Emis (talk) 23:11, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]
But Smith's death isn't being reclassified into a homicide, is it? Love of Corey (talk) 02:16, 29 August 2021 (UTC) It is being investigated now. There are plenty of secondary sources noting this. I believe it will be, and two suspects -- the two suspects sued by widow Erin Smith -- will be charged with manslaughter. This is a very complicated and forensically significant issue. Please do not over simplify with such witty responses. Charges do not happen overnight, or even in a week. Esvabird (talk) 01:03, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[]
WP:BIO1E (not BLP1E which doesn't apply here because the subject of the ostensible biography [which this article is not] is dead) has been addressed with an also clear argument that the articles are not biographies, but that the subjects are events instead.
Incidentally, WP:BIO1E also says if an event is of sufficient importance, even relatively minor participants may require their own articles, for example, Howard Brennan, a witness to the JFK assassination. — Alalch Emis (talk) 22:48, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]
There is sustained coverage at least of Smith's suicide August (the other nominated article). — Alalch Emis (talk) 08:03, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Continuous coverage, Biden remarked on these two officer's deaths in the signing ceremony, their names are noted in the award bill, Smith's wife is taking matters to court. Even if we wanted to, we can't humanly hype this any more. This is a decent subject. Edit: ...the only rude thing of note here is your approach to the article where you accused a complete neophyte of lying (you know that edits have attributions I suppose). Not everyone starting out has the competence to present information in a sufficiently rigorous way, divorced from personal biases and impressions, it's something that's learned; doesn't mean "lying" and "fabrication". — Alalch Emis (talk) 18:34, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Smith's article was humanly more hyped up until minutes ago. Editors changed "precipitating event" to "direct proximate cause of death", as if that's even a possible thing. Bunch of OR about mens rea, a brain injury becoming brain injuries, and more. Complete shit magnet (though that one at least includes the actual cause of death now). InedibleHulk (talk) 18:58, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[]
And you fabricated or helped spread at least some of that "proximate cause" nonsense while calling alleged assailants "assailants", not some neophyte, along with repeatedly misusing "insurrection". InedibleHulk (talk) 19:06, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Esvabird made up the rest of what I fixed, and has been here since October, long enough to know WP:Verifiability. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:26, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[]
I don't remember adding the words "assailants" and "insurrection"; perhaps I interacted with them during some copyedit. I also didn't add "proximate cause", and I propagated it only from the body where it had been included to the lead where this (intended) information (appropriately presented) is due, and I admit I did it uncritically, basically a copy paste operation. However the "proximate cause" wording is not just "Yet more bullshit" (bringing a bit of an unnatural... ferment... to this somber topic don't you think? ...while commenting on "rude" and "hype") -- it is contained in the actual doctor's report (page 15 "With a reasonable degree of medical probability, the proximate cause of his depression was the trauma that the experienced on January 6, 2021. ... With a reasonable degree of medical probability, due to mental illness, depression, he lacked the substantial capacity to form an intention to cause his own death. Depression killed him."), which quite possible the original adder was influenced by. Not ideal secondary sourcing maybe (even that?) but far from bullshitting. — Alalch Emis (talk) 20:00, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[]

The one about Liebengood is the one I seem to have said that about, you persistent misinformation vector. The What of the Smith story is even less clear if you honestly believe that green psychobabble, saying it was not a suicide. If you need any more help recalling how you do a lot of things I consider phony, check your own edit history for yourself, please.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I hate to prolong an already lengthy discussion, but the significance of the award in this particular case has been seriously challenged, and that affects more than a couple of !votes. There's also the question of whether a merger would be appropriate; and if so, to what target?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Vanamonde (Talk) 12:42, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
I'll have to agree. An article about the award itself, probably with some summaries about notable recipients, would definitely be more notable than these, based on this argument. Love of Corey (talk) 04:45, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]
  • Comment: the main deletion nomination here should be seen as that of Death of Jeffrey L. Smith, because this article has been worked on much more, is much more developed, has more references, than Death of Howard Liebengood. It's absurd to delete the former based on arguments that seem to center on the latter or don't demonstrably address the former as well. It's very possible that several participants have missed that this is a bundled AfD, and haven't even read the Smith's suicide article. Because of how the nomination is formatted, the fact that this AfD concerns two articles is easy to miss, and I have to reiterate that it's problematic (and possibly disputable). — Alalch Emis (talk) 17:38, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]
@DGG, Esvabird, Berchanhimez, Rubbish computer, Dream Focus, Bearian, and TJRC: I'm pinging you as all of the participants who have supported keeping based on the award as a reason for notability, in light of the relister's comment that the significance of the award in this particular case has been seriously challenged. This is true -- since this discussion has begun it was clarified that Howard Liebengood and Jeffrey L. Smith are not in fact recipients of this award; they however, were individually noted in the text on the bill, and Biden remarked on their deaths during the signing ceremony. Knowing this, it's probably fair that you get a chance to update your !votes and/or share any additional thoughts on notability, possibly based on other arguments. — Alalch Emis (talk) 17:38, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]
I !voted keep based not on the award being a reason for notability in my mind, but based on the fact that there must've been a larger consensus than one AfD that decided so for it to be listed. If this discussion can override such a larger consensus, or if no such consensus can be found, then my !vote should be read as a delete as I do not personally believe this should lead to independent notability. I don't agree that the distinction between "individual recipient" and a "named member of a group recipient" is warranted. A person named as a reason an award is being awarded to a group basically gets the award. I think that any argument to delete/merge should hinge on the award's notability itself. Read this and my above !vote how the closer/others will - and feel free to ask for any further clarification. I agree that the award's notability has been seriously challenged - I question whether this venue can overturn that determination by the larger community and I disagree with the technicality of "individual" versus "named member of a group" award. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 20:47, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]
I'm still good with a keep, but my enthusiasm is lessened; I wouldn't be upset by a merge to another appropriate article. I'm fairly agnostic on which, several good candidates have been suggested. I think the leading candidates are Law enforcement response to the 2021 United States Capitol attack and Aftermath of the 2021 United States Capitol attack. TJRC (talk) 19:45, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
  • On merger: Two different merger outcomes are possible:
  1. horizontal: Deaths of Howard Liebengood and Jeffrey L. Smith, per BD2412
or under a different name such as Suicides in the Aftermath of the 2021 United States Capitol attack
  1. vertical:
to Law enforcement response to the 2021 United States Capitol attack#Suicides
to (under a new level 2 header) Aftermath of the 2021 United States Capitol attack
I think that all of these are good options; it's important that good merge targets exist, and the fact that multiple exist is not something that can hinder consensus. — Alalch Emis (talk) 17:51, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]
As has been pointed out above, though, Liebengood was not awarded that medal. TJRC (talk) 21:29, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Short version: Based on the arguments presented the two articles just about meet the policy basis to exist. From an editorial perspective, it seems the the community may wish to engage in a merge discussion and some of the content has been included in Law enforcement response to the 2021 United States Capitol attack. There is not sufficient enough consensus here to establish whether or not this is sufficient or whether another approach should be taken.
Long version: This discussion has proceeded for 1 month and relisted and I don't see any new arguments being brought forward. Numerically things are pretty even and the discussion basically revolves around three points:
  • does the conferring of a Congressional Medal merit inclusion based upon WP:ANYBIO?
  • does WP:BLP1E apply here?
  • are the events rather than the individuals sufficiently notable?
On the first point, many keep !votes suggested the award was sufficient enough to imbue notability. As was pointed out the the conferring of the congressional medal was to a collective and not individually; being part of a group awarded a highly prestigious award where the individuals deaths were expressly named. A strict interpretation of this suggests this single event may not be enough on it's own but it is certainly a contributing factor to notability.
Regaring whether BLP1E applies here. There are several points.
  1. The individuals are deceased.
  2. The individuals deaths occurred within the last 9 months.
  3. The articles focus on the death of the individuals rather than the individuals themselves.
WP:BDP states:
The only exception would be for people who have recently died, in which case the policy can extend based on editorial consensus for an indeterminate period beyond the date of death—six months, one year, two years at the outside
-- with additional point of -- only apply particularly to contentious or questionable material about the subject that has implications for their living relatives and friends, such as in the case of a possible suicide
I'm not aware of any consensus to extend the BLP policy in regards to these individuals and the nature of the suicides is not under any dispute so as has been noted the policy doesn't apply.
The events of Liebengood and Smiths deaths have been raised consistently over a 9 month period, with articles relating to their deaths, a legal case by jeffery smiths family, the politicizing of their deaths, the conferring of the awards to the capitol police and their explicit acknowledgement by the President, in relation to other suicides, editorial boards opinions in relation to police suicide more broadly, whether or not suicides should be considered deaths in the line of duty and the naming of a wellness fund after liebengood. The event of their deaths, are notable enough in their own rights to meet the requirements of both WP:GNG and WP:BLP1E even when the latter does not apply for the reasons noted.
Addressing the possible precedent set by the 1998 capitol shooting, as Barkeep49 noted in his close in that AfD the keep votes in that discussion had not explained why WP:BIO1E did not apply, which has occurred here in this discussion.
Towards the end of this discussion, there does seem to be room for a discussion around potentially merging these articles. The events of their deaths are temporally proximal and by this point they are referred to in tandom. Some of the content has been included in Law enforcement response to the 2021 United States Capitol attack. There is not sufficient enough consensus here to establish whether or not this is appropriate or whether another approach should be taken.
Based on the arguments presented that has been examined above the articles as they stand meet the minimum standards from a policy perspective but I would encourage the community to discuss merging the articles which would be valid from an editorial perspective.Seddon talk 00:50, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[]

An unnecessary content fork of List of drone strikes in Afghanistan, the recent change of regime is easily reflected in the main article and until/unless substantial new 'striking' is done post-US-withdrawal, the subject is better covered as a continuation of the main article. The principal target and 'striker' having remained the same and all content in this list already being in the 'main' list article, the two are effectively already MERGED.

The result was keep. Normally an article which had been just deleted a couple months ago and whose deletion had been endorsed at DRV would default towards delete at any new AfD. However, the DRV discussion explicitly made provisions for re-creation so that default does not apply in this case. On the whole there is a consensus of participants in this discussion, even when appropriately weighting by the previous AfD (plus DRV), to find that the topic at this time has enough coverage that it is eligible for an independent article under our notability guidelines. Equally per our guidelines, this does not mean the only appropriate way of covering the topic is an independent article and so after some time (i.e. 6 or more months) for the "dust to settle" a merge discussion may be appropriate to consider that issue.

  • S Marshall, I had recently learnt the concept of WP:CANVASS but pinging you was not meant to alter the outcome but was only meant to seek your unbiased counsel in the ongoing discussion. And, as true Wikipedians, we shouldn't have a bias towards anything. Hope you get my feelings. Ht24 (talk) 10:01, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Does the article fail WP:GNG? This analysis of sources shows that there are tensix references where the source is reliable and independent, and the coverage is sufficiently in depth. Therefore WP:GNG is satisfied.
Does the article fail WP:BLP1E? There are three criteria, each of which must be met for BLP1E to apply:
  • reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event. This is not the case here because the coverage in reliable sources cover:
    • political activity
    • a quasi-political campaign involving mobile clinics and career counselling sessions
    • conflict of interest
    • a libel case
    • two notable honours
  • the person is a low-profile individual. This is not the case here - this person has sought the limelight, for example by erecting billboards with his photo on them.
  • the person's role in the event was not substantial or well documented. The nominator doesn't identify which one event the subject is notable for, but assuming it was the conflict of interest, for example, his role in that event is substantial. If the one event was the connection between Shaurya's business interests and his brother's, then there would be no story if Shaurya was not a substantial part of it.
BLP1E requires all of those criteria to be met whereas in my view, none of them are met.
Should the article be deleted on the basis of WP:INHERITED? No, because having a notable father doesn't make someone an inappropriate subject for a separate article if the son is shown to be notable in their own right, as is the case here. The 43rd president of the US isn't disqualified from having an article about them just because their dad had previously been the 41st president.
Should this subject not have an article now because two previous AfDs resulted in delete? No, because in deletion review, the author put forward new sources and was encouraged to submit a fresh, rewritten draft featuring those sources and to submit for a thorough review at AfC, which they have done.

  • Comment: Liz there is something wrong about this article and also about this AfD. Since you moved back this entity from a draft to namespace which was earlier executed with a possible intent to bypass this. I have checked the sources - most of them lack WP:SIGCOV and the usage of such sources in the article lacks WP:NPOV in interpretation. Also, as per WP:BLP1E only one single event (but as a general news of filing a legal case against someone... can legal cases be counted notable?) that's basically the "conflict of interest" one which led to a "libel case" and then there is a closure statement which include "an apology" from the person who has been sued in the first place - the AfC reviewer have considered all these sub events seperately. Why? Secondly most of the prominent news sources starts with or includes "Doval's son" who happens to be incumbent intelligence chief of the country. On top of that, how that can be compared with 41st and 43rd president logic? The entity is not walking on his father's footstep i.e, he is not part of government apparatus. His current affiliation is independent from his Father and that too not notable. It seems... either its a top notch colluding or its pure ignorance of Wikipedia rules at editor's level. A clarity should lead to consensus.
Also, pinging DGG, and Timtrent. Despite knowing it, this might invoke WP:CANVASS and I apologize for that but I am not able to refrain myself from such poor interpretation of wikipedia guidelines. - Hatchens (talk) 13:53, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[]

This article was nominated for deletion at this AFD and then an editor moved it to Draft space. This has happened a few times recently, usually, I'm guessing, as a way to avoid possible deletion. This is disruptive so I moved the article from Draft space back to main space so this discussion could continue.

I wasn't expecting it to be highly controversial and that there would be so many people responding to it.

I have made a further study and realised that I had bamboozled myself by precisely the thing I look out for at AFC. I had made too cursory a scan of the references, confusing quantity with quality. I apologise. I have read them im detail im the cold light of day. I have modified my opinion above. There is no notability save that inherited from his father (etc). He happens to be part of the same family. The references lack substance about him. WP:NOTINHERITED applies. I should have worked this out yesterday when I was struggling to find notability. Instead of waiting and thinkkimng further I offered mhy opinion while tired, alwasya foolish thingh to do. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 08:59, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[]
pass at AfC simply means the reviewer thinks the article would probably pass AfD. it is not and never was intended to be the actual process for deciding on content, but rather just a screen to keep out the imposible and improve the borderline. Considering pass afc to imply will certainly also pass afd would mean that about 90% of drafts in afc would be declined, because very few articles are submitted there that will certainly pass afd --it basically takes a class B article on an unambiguously notable subject in a field where nobody disputes the criteria for notability to be certain of passing AfD, considering its notorious variation. The proof of that is that almost no experienced editor has a 100% record of the articles they !vote keep actually passing, . Even if we interpreted "passing afc", as being certain that it ought to be kept at afd, it still won't be 100%, because experienced editors disagree on many articles--hence the afd process.
So far from afc requiring a committee, any new editor can write an article and get it into mainspace if any one reviewer thinks it has a decent change. the committee process is afd, and here it takes its chances with every article written by anyone. Not all afc passes come here, only the questioned ones. I haven't tried to do a query, but I think about 90% of what passes afd does get kept in WP without undergoing afd at all, because most reviewers are properly conservative . (the actual problem is the opposite--some are too conservative and will not pass valid stubs or articles with good references but without correct citation format. It's perfectly right that thecommunity, not a single reviewer, should decide on acceptability as an article. DGG ( talk ) 16:40, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[]
@DGG, @S Marshall to underline that, I would have accepted this at AFC because it is, in my view, borderline, and has a better than 50% chance again in my view of surviving a deletion process, but have opined to delete it at AfD because I feel it to be on the wrong side of the border. While this is a paradox, it is not an incorrect set of views. I'm pleased that AFC allows borderline drafts through, and am equally pleased that AfD weeds some out. Community consensus beats the opinion of a reviewer any day. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 21:59, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Let me address each of these scattershot arguments in turn.
You raise concerns about puffery. If puffery exists, it should be removed, but puffery is not a good reason to delete entire articles.
You raise concerns about the number of citations. In doing so, you query citation links 9 to 13. I'm not able to read link 9. Link 10 is from the Indian Express, which we as a community have evaluated as a reliable source (see WP:INDIANEXP). Link 11 is from the Hindustan Times, and in that matter I rely on the discussion in Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2021 August 3 where an editor knowledgeable in such matters evaluated the Hindustan Times as a reliable source for this content. And I'm not able to read links 12 or 13. So what I see, when I check those sources, is that every one of them that I understand is a reliable source within Wikipedia's normal definitions of those terms.
You then admit that "the entity has the potential to have a Wikipedia page", with which I concur, and this is that page.
You then say you're not sure how to classify or categorize him. I agree with this concern and I said on the talk page that he is, at best, an aspiring politician. We have plenty of content that's hard to classify or categorize. I'm not able to classify or categorize our article on Paul the Octopus, but by our rules, this is not a valid reason to delete content.
Finally, you chastise those who are wasting everyone's time. I agree with this view and I do wish they would stop.—S Marshall T/C 09:03, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[]

a merge can reasonably be done directly--I tend not to like unnecessary bureaucratic steps.Of course, merge does have the "advantage" of being a much less visible process. A even less visible way that sometimes has been employed is to ensure that the basic information is added to the main article, and then redirect--this takes no discussion whatsoever unless it is noticed and challenged. I try to be more forthright: If a decision however absurd goes against my view, I wait an appropriate interval and try again; if it goes repeatedly against my view, I stop trying. There are at least half a million equally dubious articles to work on.
But looking again, I think my merge suggestion was not correct. In this particular instance, it's the present discussion which is aberrant. The argument that he should be included as the son of an official is against policy., There could however be an actual reason for keeping in his personal role. I doubt there is, but it is that which should have been argued, and the individual notability would be the think tank if anything. What I think the closer shoulddo is relist, and ask that it be argued on that basis alone, But if accepted, that leaves the choice between doing nothing and letting the article stand, placing another afd in a few months, or goin to deletion review. I don't think it important enough to be worth trying further, and my inclination would be to let what ever might be the closing stand.. As I said yesterday, there are half a million articles this dubious or worse. I'd go after the ones that are worse. It's rarely worth fighting to delete an individual article against strong opposition unless there's an important principle at issue, If you think there is , I suggest AfD4 in 6 months. DGG ( talk ) 18:37, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[]
@DGG: Re your comment "The argument that he should be included as the son of an official is against policy", is anyone suggesting that as the 'keep' reason in this discussion? I am not seeing anyone arguing the article should be kept on that basis. I am only seeing editors assert what you describe as "individual notability".

  • Delete – I have looked for Swedish-language sources and not found anything to satisfy WP:NMUSIC or WP:GNG. "Henka" is a nickname for "Henrik", so I've searched for that as well, and the variant "Henke", but the best source I've found is a reference ("Trummis på blixtvisit") to an interview in Nya Wermlands-Tidningen in 2013; I can't access the article itself, but one interview doesn't make him notable. There was another drummer called Henrik Johansson, who played with Apostasy (band) until he was murdered in 2006, and many of the search hits relate to that murder. I don't think salting is called for, not at this point anyway. The article was deleted in 2006 and it might not have been about the same person: Henrik is a common male name, Henka/Henke are standard nicknames for Henrik, and Johansson is the second most common last name in Sweden. The title could perhaps be redirected to Clawfinger. --bonadea contributions talk 08:37, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[]

  • The 2012 deletion discussion substantially focused on whether a person of this name met WP:MUSICBIO
  • Two subsequent WP:G4 deletions (3 March 2013 and 9 September 2013) were based on that discussion.
  • The 2021 version of this article is about a sportsperson, and so is not "substantially identical to the deleted version, and any changes do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted"
  • It would appear to me that the 2021 version does not pass any number of tests (WP:ANYBIO, WP:GNG and so on for notability. There is no sport-specific guideline for fencing, but WP:SPORTBASIC would seem appropriate here.

To put an end to the reversion wars happening on this page, I have started an AfD so editors can discuss why the page should be kept/deleted/redirected to Love Island (2015 TV series) instead of going back and forth undoing edits. I believe the page is not eligible for WP:G5 as I have added substantial content and citations to the page after its creation by a banned user.

Other editors have suggested it should be deleted as the subject has "no notability outside of show", however I believe her career as one of the UK's most successful social media influencers (with an ill fated giveaway widely reported on in the British press) and creative marketing director with PrettyLittleThing has given her significant notability outside of being a contestant on the show as well. pinktoebeans (talk) 08:47, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]

  • Redirect - outside of the fact that this character does not have enough real-world coverage to meet WP:GNG. The article could have been speedied, since it was created by a blocked user, in violation of their block. An admin, in lieu of deleting, restored the redirect. Like UPE, banned editors should never be encouraged. Doing so weakens WP, and is a huge time-suck for actually valuable editors. Onel5969 TT me 13:21, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
    • @Onel5969: Thanks for your comment! While I do agree the article probably should have been speedy deleted soon after creation, unfortunately I managed to get my grubby paws on it before an admin could delete it and add quite a bit of content :-) As someone who hopes to be classifed as an "actually valuable editor", I hope what I've added proves Hague's merit of inclusion on Wikipedia. I'd like to hear what you think about the sources I linked in the original AfD post, and whether they sufficiently show Hague is notable apart from Love Island as a businessperson and influencer (whose social media career was not started by Love Island, but rather boosted by it). pinktoebeans (talk) 14:55, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
  • Redirect - Restore to redirect to Love Island (2015 TV series). Lack of notability outside show. In addition to Onel's comments above, the claim of most successful social media influencers isn't borne out by the given source, which calls her the most successful Islander and says she earns more than any other reality TV star on Instagram (per click, but not overall). Those discrepancies aside, popularity on Instagram and sponsorship per click on that platform shows popularity, a totally different thing to notability. Being a company director isn't a claim of notability, and the "creative" element of it doesn't meet WP:NCREATIVE. --John B123 (talk) 16:00, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]

There is a plethora of number of realisms that have at various points been mentioned by various people. It is impossible to write a proper Realism (international relations) article if every single new variant gets its own article. Most of the sources you list are low quality (fringe journals and fringe publishers), which do not lend support for this being a noteworthy concept within realism or within IR. 14:13, 25 August 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snooganssnoogans (talk • contribs)
  • I wholly disagree with your notions about the reliability of the sources I provided, whereby you stated "Most of the sources you list are low quality (fringe journals and fringe publishers),". On the contrary, the sources are quite reliable (underline emphasis mine below):
  • Oxford University Press – "the largest university press in the world, and the second oldest after Cambridge University Press. It is a department of the University of Oxford and is governed by a group of 15 academics appointed by the vice-chancellor known as the delegates of the press."
  • Vikas Publishing House – "a leading name in higher education publishing, specializes in the publication of academic and reference books in the areas of engineering, management, computer science, education and humanities. Titles from Vikas are recommended in top business schools, technical universities, engineering colleges, as well as in undergraduate and postgraduate courses all over India."
  • Pearson plc – the world's "largest education company and was once the largest book publisher in the world.
  • Journal of Strategic Studies – "a peer-reviewed academic journal covering military and diplomatic strategic studies". It is published by Routledge, which "specialises in providing academic books, journals and online resources in the fields of humanities, behavioural science, education, law, and social science" and is "claimed to be the largest global academic publisher within humanities and social sciences".
  • First Global South International Studies Conference – Partner Institutions include 1) "The International Studies Association (headquartered at the University of Arizona, USA) is the largest, most respected and widely known scholarly association promoting research and education in International Relations (IR)", 2) The Global South Caucus, a unit of the International Studies Association, 3) Sciences Po Paris – Campus Moyen-Orient Méditerranée à Menton: "Sciences Po is a highly selective independent and international research university with seven campuses and collaborative arrangements with more than 400 competitive universities all over the world".
  • Ferozsons – "a Pakistani publishing company in Lahore, Pakistan. Established in 1894, it is Pakistan’s oldest publishing house."
– Sorry, but I feel that you are quite mistaken. These are certainly not "fringe" journals and publishers, nor are they "low quality", not even in the slightest.North America1000 14:37, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[]
OUP, Pearsons and JSS are clearly reliable sources. The other ones are fringe. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 15:07, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[]
You haven't qualified your assertions, though, only providing proof by assertion. Merriam-Webster defines "fringe" as "a group with marginal or extremist views" (link). How on earth is Ferozsons, Pakistan's oldest publishing house, a group that is somehow "marginal or extremist"? Have you researched this company? They may not be the largest publisher in the world, but that does not automatically make them a "fringe" publisher. Regarading the International Studies Association, it is "a professional association for scholars, practitioners and graduate students in the field of international studies. Founded in 1959, ISA now has over 7,000 members in 110 countries and is the most respected and widely known scholarly association in this field". This is certainly not marginal or extremist. Rather it is the opposite of marginal, and furthermore, they publish several peer-reviewed academic journals, such as Journal of Strategic Studies listed above, as well as International Studies Quarterly, International Studies Review and International Political Sociology, among others. This is the opposite of "extremist", this is an organization that publishes and presents accurate, quality studies that are further verified and confirmed via the peer review process.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

    Here are three sources Northamerica1000 provided along with quotes from the sources that demonstrate that the sources discuss strategic realism in substantial detail:

    1. Jackson, Robert H.; Sørensen, Georg (2016). Introduction to International Relations: Theories and Approaches (6 ed.). Oxford: Oxford University Press. pp. 72–73. ISBN 978-0-19-870755-4. Retrieved 2021-09-01.

      The book notes: "In this section, we shall examine strategic realism, which is exemplified by the thought of Thomas Schelling (1980, 1996). ... Strategic realism focuses centrally on foreign-policy decision making. When state leaders confront basic diplomatic and military issues, they are obliged to think strategically—i.e., instrumentally—if they hope to be successful. ... This is a good example of strategic realism which basically concerns how to employ power intelligently in order to get our military adversary to do what we desire and, more importantly, to avoid doing what we fear. According to strategic realism, 'choosing between extremes' is foolish and reckless and is thus ... ... Strategic realism thus presupposes values and carries normative implications. Unlike classical realism, however, it does not examine them or explore them. ..."

    2. Khanna, V.N. International Relations, 6E. Vikas Publishing. pp. 22–23. ISBN 978-93-5338-632-0. Retrieved August 25, 2021.

      The book has a six-paragraph section titled "Thomas Schelling: Strategic Realism". The book notes: "Strategic realism, like neo-realism, is a product of the behavioural revolution of the 1950s and 1960s. Many contemporary realists seek to provide an empirical analysis of world politics. But they avoid normative analysis of international politics because that is considered subject, and thus, unscientific. Strategic realism is associated with the name of Thomas Schelling who propagated his views in 1980. Schelling's strategic realism focuses its attention on foreign policy-decision making. ... Strategic realists are basically concerned with how to employ power intelligently in order to get the adversary to do what we desire and, more importantly, to avoid doing what we fear."

    3. Chatterjee, Aneek (2010). International Relations Today: Concepts and Applications. Delhi: Longman. ISBN 978-81-317-3375-2. Retrieved 2021-09-01.

      The book notes: "Thomas Schelling, for example, came up with a newer version of realism, later identified as strategic realism. This could be considered as a part of neo-realism, which wanted to [explanation] ... Keeping the normative aspects of earlier forms of realism in the background, strategic realism tends to emphasize on empirical analytical tools for strategic thoughts. Thomas Schelling, the chief exponent of strategic realism, is well aware about the crisis-ridden contemporary world. ... While the focal point of strategic realism is the art of diplomacy and prudent strategies, neo-realism is more concerned with [explanation]. ... Schelling's strategic realism has come under attack from constructivists. No strategy, however prudent, can be free from normative values."

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

Just to be clear to the closer of this discussion: What we have here is a concept that was 1. coined in a prominent textbook, 2. regurgitated by low-quality publications, and 3. never adopted by the relevant scholarly community (as demonstrated by a search in the top journals). Does every single concept that has been coined by a prominent publication and repeated by three low-quality publications deserve its own Wikipedia page? For example, there are vastly more prominent citations for the terms "Soft Realism"[130], "Hard Realism",[131] "Rationalist realism"[132] etc. than "Strategic Realism" – should every single variant and type of realism be given its own Wikipedia page? I don't think the editors above realize what a disservice it does to those of us who are busting our asses trying to improve these pages when there are a trillion pointless forks that divide and complicate all the effort, and when all the effort is diluted by the presence of misleading and deceptive pages that fool students and other interested people into thinking "Strategic realism" is a major school of international relations. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 23:07, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[]

  • The concept should not be mentioned in Realism (international relations) because it is simply not a notable concept in Realist scholarship. It's a concept coined by one textbook that has been regurgitated by several low-quality publications. Which makes it all the more absurd that it has its own Wikipedia article. If no scholars of note or publications of note believe this thing exists, why should Wikipedia mislead and deceive students and interested readers into thinking it's a prominent school of realism? Snooganssnoogans (talk) 12:47, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
4meter4's claim that all the delete votes amount to WP:IDON'TLIKEIT is ridiculous. What the Delete votes have argued is that "Strategic realism" is one of many many many variations of "Realism (international relations)" that have been coined, and that it would be detrimental to readers and editors in this topic area if every single variation of "X Realism" gets its own article. I have provided specific examples of other variations of "X Realism" that have been covered at greater detail in RS than "Strategic realism", yet should obviously not have their own Wikipedia articles. What the Keep votes in this AFD are arguing is that Wikipedia should have countless different "X Realism" articles because a few RS exist can be found that each use a variation of the "X Realism" term. If these editors get their way, it would make it dysfunctional for those of us who are trying to fix content on Realism (international relations) and adjacent articles, a neglected topic area that none of the Delete votes in this AFD have made substantive contributions to. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 03:31, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Yes, I understand all of that, and I stand by what I said earlier about it essentially boiling down to an WP:IDON'TLIKEIT argument. Essentially, you are trying to curate the content area for Realism (international relations); which is fine as an editorial exercise but that doesn't fall under AFD's purview or process or purpose. That kind of argument can be used productively in merge discussions where we can discuss how to present and organize materials. At AFD, our scope is to examine content based upon notability guidelines and whether the content warrants inclusion, and ultimately there is clearly enough RS to support a stand alone article on strategic realism. Whether we ultimately choose to house this content somewhere else (such as at Realism (international relations)) is another matter. If your argument is we simply delete it and not address/include it at all, than that just doesn't match with WP:GNG and WP:NOTCENSORED because we have enough evidence that the topic meets our thresh hold for inclusion. I understand that this a minor concept of realism in comparison to others but it does pass GNG. We have lots of articles on notable minor concepts or even fringe theories in many academic fields because of our policy on no censorship. We have enough space on wiki to include articles on any "X Realism" that meet GNG, because that is wikipedia's policy and wikipedia is not censored. 4meter4 (talk) 17:26, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[]
The argument that Wikipedia policy forces us to create entire articles for every single variation of a concept that has been mentioned by one reliable source and 2 low-quality sources sounds like an excellent reason to invoke WP:IGNORE. You are arguing that a topic area should be made suboptimal because one textbook coined a term and a few low-quality sources regurgitated the term – if taken to its logical endpoint, it would destroy the topic area due to the prevalence of variations of the same or overlapping concepts. "If your argument is we simply delete it and not address/include it at all, than that just doesn't match with WP:GNG and WP:NOTCENSORED" – Thomas Schelling's work (which the textbook characterizes as "Strategic realism" and which no other scholars/publications of note characterize as such) is covered in the Thomas Schelling, the Bargaining model of war, Rationalism (international relations), Deterrence theory, Coercive diplomacy and Coercion (international relations) articles. Schelling's work is not censored in any way whatsoever – I have literally written the content summarizing his work on those pages. Your call to create a "Strategic realism" article just to define the term violates WP:NOT#DICT. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 19:10, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[]

If there is consensus to "keep" the term in some way or another, then I argue that the article should be merged with the Thomas Schelling article in the following way: one short sentence should be added to the Schelling article that says "Schelling's work has been characterized as "strategic realist"". However, my first preference is still to delete the article and not mention the concept on the Schelling page or any other page. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 19:24, 10 September 2021 (UTC) −[]

(Edit conflict) I am not arguing for creating anything. It's already here. AFD is not concerned with future content but existing content, and WP:Wikipedia is not compulsory. However, you are arguing for the deletion of another editor(s)'s past contribution(s), and that should be taken seriously out of respect for that editor(s)'s work and point of view. If you feel the content is already sufficiently covered elsewhere and is therefore redundant then you should argue it's a WP:CONTENTFORK as a rationale for deletion. However, that is not the argument you made which is why you got the response that I gave you. Further, if that is the argument you want to make, we usually turn such articles into a suitable redirect where readers searching for the concept "strategic realism" can find the appropriate relevant information. Might I suggest that you make that argument and consider a potential redirect target. Perhaps the article on Thomas Schelling?4meter4 (talk) 19:29, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[]
In reading the above merge suggestion above, it looks like Snooganssnoogans isn't wanting a merge but just a redirect because Snooganssnoogans wants to suppress the content in this article. Given that multiple independent references from highly respected academic publishers, including Thomas Schelling's own writing, support the content, I can't help but think that Snooganssnoogans has an agenda here that amounts to WP:CENSORSHIP.4meter4 (talk) 22:59, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[]
There are so many absurd remarks in your comment: (1) Please provide a citation for your claim that Thomas Schelling ever used the term "Strategic realism" to describe his own scholarship or any scholarship for that matter. You're claiming that I'm trying to censor Schelling's strategic realist scholarship – deliver on your claim. (2) I have added more content to Wikipedia about "strategic realism" (i.e. Rationalist-oriented realism and Schelling's scholarship: Bargaining model of war, Rationalism (international relations), Deterrence theory, Coercive diplomacy and Coercion (international relations)) than all the Keep votes in this AFD combined), which makes the censorship claim even more ridiculous. (3) "Multiple independent references from highly respected academic publishers" is BS. The concept "Strategic realism" was coined by the Sorenson and Jackson textbook and was regurgitated by low-quality sources and scholars who have published nothing of note. (4) Suppress what content? This is literally the entirety of what the Strategic realism article says: "Strategic realism is a theory of international relations associated with Thomas Schelling." Have you even read the article of the AFD that you're commenting on and flinging wild accusations over? Snooganssnoogans (talk) 00:32, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[]

These are the sources that NorthAmerica1000 has cited for the claim that this is a notable concept and which all the Keep votes are using to justify keeping this article:

  1. Jackson and Sørensen (2016). Introduction to International Relations: Theories and Approaches. Oxford University Press.
  2. Khanna, V.N. International Relations, 6E. Vikas Publishing House.
  3. Aneek, C. (2010). International Relations Today: Concepts and Applications. Pearson.
  4. Vennesson, Pascal (February 16, 2017). "Is strategic studies narrow? Critical security and the misunderstood scope of strategy". Journal of Strategic Studies.

  6. Shaukat, S. (2005). US Vs Islamic Militants, Invisible Balance of Power: Dangerous Shift in International Relations. Ferozsons.
These citations are problematic for the following reasons:
  1. Only the Jackson and Sorenson textbook is a clear-cut RS for "Strategic Realism". The rest of the sources (not counting Vennesson) are regurgitating the contents of the Jackson and Sorenson textbook.
  2. Two of the citations are to Aneek Chatterjee who has no peer-reviewed publications of note in the field of international relations[133] and who is just regurgitating what the Sorenson and Jackson textbook says in his Pearson textbook. One of the Chatterjee citations is to a non-peer-reviewed conference paper that NorthAmerica100 mistakenly attributes as being an official publication of the International Studies Association.
  3. A non-peer reviewed book by V N Khanna, who has no peer-reviewed publications in the field of international relations. There is no mention of this person having a PhD in the field.
  4. The Vennesson article is indeed published in a respectable journal (Journal of Strategic Studies) but it doesn't support the claim that "Strategic realism" is a coherent notable concept. Vennesson doesn't describe Schelling's work as being "Strategic realism". Instead, he briefly in the conclusion of the article characterizes Raymond Aron as being a "strategic realist" – the scholarship of Aron and Schelling vastly differed, which bolsters the claim that this is an incoherent concept with no legs in the field. Vennesson uses the term "Strategic realist" in quotation marks, which should raise doubts about its status as a coherent and established school of thought.
  5. Sajjad Shaukat is not a recognized expert in the field of international relations. He does not have a PhD and has no peer-reviewed publications. The author is obviously regurgitating what the prominent Sorenson and Jackson textbook says. The book in question is barely legible. I strongly recommend that editors and the closer actually look up the part of the book that covers "Strategic realism".[134] To characterize this as a RS is absurd.
  6. In short: the sources that support the concept of "Strategic realism" are (1) a prominent Oxford University Press textbook that coins the term, (2) a good journal article that uses the term for something different than the textbook, (3) a Pearson textbook by an individual with no peer-reviewed publications of note in the field of international relations that regurgitates what the OUP textbook says, (4) a paper presented by the same individual at a conference, yet not published in a respectable outlet, (5) a non-peer reviewed book by someone with no scholarly publications in the field, and (5) a barely legible book by a non-expert in the field.

This biographical page was previously deleted due to not meeting notability requirements Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jesse Singal

In the interspersing time the subject does not appear to have gained notability, going from being a Senior Editor in NYMag, to self published.

A claim to notability is a book he published, however a search of bestseller lists shows the book did not reach them and holds about 100,000# in book sales ranking with Bookmarks noting it had a tepid reception. [135]. I worry that if we gave the 100,000th top book a page, we would have to give every obscure book ranking better a page as well.

The final claim to his notability is that he was involved in a journalism controversy during 2018 which CJR briefly summarized here[136]. However it appears to have died down and he has no longer obtained publications on the subject making it appear to be a case of wp:BIO1E.

To conclude I don’t see what has changed from last time which held an overwhelming consensus for delete apart from a decline in the subjects publication prominence and a wp:BIO1E event that died down. Apart from a brief critical mention in CJR I do not see WP:SIGCOV that could meet WP:BASIC Freepsbane (talk) 03:30, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]

  • As an addendum I am concerned that most of the article is wp:BIO1E with the remaining segments dedicated to his podcast and obscure book when neither are notable. If we give everyone who gets a page a large promotional section to their book, even if it was not commercially successful or notable in reception, then surely every self published author would be clamoring for a page where they can advertise their books at Wikipedia. At the very least the book section reads like vanity advertising for an obscure product and should be trimmed. To a lesser extent the section on his podcast/self publishing career is needless promotion as well, it does little but cite self published and primary sources often by authors connected to the subject. Again it concerns me that if we are too permissive with promotion, every marginally notable blogger will be getting Wikipedia puff pieces on their obscure books and blogs. Freepsbane (talk) 03:34, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
  • I would encourage all parties involved in this current iteration of the article @Newimpartial: @-sche: @Colin M: and the editors from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jesse Singal @E.M.Gregory: @BigHaz: @Johnpacklambert: to contribute their wisdom to this discussion. Apologies if my grammar is poor my friends, English is not my first language.Freepsbane (talk) 03:49, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
  • Keep. wp:BIO1E does not really apply here. There is RS coverage spanning 4 years and several areas. Much of the information mentioned in the nomination (e.g. the sales figures and reception of his book) are irrelevant to WP:N. The article that was deleted in 2017 was a single ten-word sentence, so the concerns raised in that deletion discussion don't have a lot of applicability here. Also, while not a reason to keep per se, it's worth noting the article is currently linked from 17 other mainspace pages. Colin M (talk) 03:55, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
  • Comment, his previously deleted article was not ten sentences, it was essentially this but without the wp:BIO1E. Indeed in some ways it compared favorably as it did not have large sections dedicated to book promotion. I ask, can you establish he meets wp:BASIC? His book was what you held as entitling him to an article however it’s very obscure and instead of qualifying him it is receiving promotion. Is it his publication prominence as muckrack says he’s had almost zero articles published in the last two years? Or is it merely a few primary sources from a wp:BIO1E that died down. If the later is all we have then our article is possibly less viable than last times. Also many of those 17 sources you note are self published (his own blog has to provide biographical detail as he is too obscure for a paper of record [137][138] the podcast source is a link to his Patreon[139]), and the remainder by authors who say they have social ties to him(Walker is said to be in arguments with him, Gillespie who wrote a promotional piece was according to muckrack his Reason editor[140]). They are primary sources and often part of the story.Freepsbane (talk) 04:04, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
  • Keep. WP:BIO1E is about whether a person deserves an article separate from some other notable event, which doesn't apply here. Between commentary on the Atlantic article, commentary on his writing, and reviews of his book, WP:GNG is met. An AfD from years ago on a much shorter article and book sales numbers are irrelevant. There is no need to worry about some sort of precedent being set when we already have GNG and the like to guide us. Crossroads -talk- 04:19, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
With all due respect I don’t see how WP:GNG is met, Criterion one falls so short Singal’s biography and self published sites have to makeup much of the article, the controversy articles describe that single event but little else. Criterion 3 and 5 is failed, we lack secondary sources and worse yet, many are not independent either from people who are related to his disputes, or his editor from Reason. What we have to build from is either limited to the incident or self published or not independent. It does not seem a foundation for an article.Freepsbane (talk) 05:15, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
I would be grateful if you could enlighten me as to what writing? Muckrack shows minimal publications in the last two years. As for the book, which reviews? There are many non notable books with mixed reviews[141] out there. And most sold much better. In fact, many best seller list books did not get a Wikipedia page? Should give them one?Freepsbane (talk) 04:26, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Is he notable then? He has minimal publications and no notability that could meet wp:BASIC. Even his biography has to quote his own websites.Freepsbane (talk) 04:30, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Yes, I believe he is. That's why I !voted "keep". Colin M (talk) 04:47, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
If you believe that is good, if you can give examples that is even better. Instead of taking it on faith, tell us how he is notable? I can’t see signs of any publication notability, and the book is not notable, so surely it must be more than the primary sources from one event.Freepsbane (talk) 05:09, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Abstain / comment: as I said on the talk page last month, the article is very borderline. I looked last year for sources to see if I could create an article, and didn't find enough that I felt the notability guidelines were met. Even now, after someone else did create the article, a fifth of its (limited) references being Singal himself is not great, and it puts a cap on how detailed the article is able to be, but I've seen other articles at about this level judged to meet GNG, so... -sche (talk) 08:20, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[]

No evidence of notability. Much of the content of the article is unsourced, and there are no citations to any coverage in reliable independent sources. At present the article contains tags about sourcing dated 2016, but questions have been raised repeatedly over a much longer time than that. A PROD was made in 2010, but contested. A large proportion of the editing of the article has been done by a small number of single-purpose accounts, at least some of which appear to have a conflict of interest (including an account named Gdolgoff).

Those "good references" are as follows. The "Insider" article has a single two sentence mention of Dolgoff. In fact the complete and unabridged text about Dolgoff is "Inventor Gene Dolgoff had been working on creating the first LCD projector since the 1960s. Finally, in 1987, Dolgoff improved upon his design and patented it, creating the company Projectavision, Inc." "ScreenRant" has even less than that: a one sentence mention. The"ComputerWorld" article has one short paragraph about Dolgoff. The "Looper" article has several mentions of Dolgoff spread over a few paragraphs, but it is a very small proportion of the whole, and is not substantial coverage. In short, the "good references" do nothing to show notability. (In fact, if those are the best that can be found by an editor who has been here for 15 years and made over 40000 edits, and for whom voting "keep" in numerous AfD discussions is one of his main activities, then it suggests that there isn't much to be found, because if anyone could find it, he could.) JBW (talk) 19:53, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[]
Already from the start of the article on WP, the claim was made that Dolgoff is the inventor of digital projection. Later, the more specific claim was made that Dolgoff started experimenting and thinking about LCD projectors in 1968. This was repeated in a video on YouTube showing an interview with Dolgoff and drawings as well as a patent publication in the background. The title of this video is: The inventor of the LCD projector. There is no reliable, independent evidence supporting this claim. Early related work by researchers at RCA Labs and Bell Labs used LCDs for experimental projection was based on electronbeam or laser addressing. Publications appeared from 1968 onwards. Having the idea of using LCDs for projection at that time was nothing extraordinary. However, making working prototypes was a challenge not tried by Dolgoff before 1983. To my knowledge, Peter J. Wild at Brown Boveri was first to implement a digital LCD projector using a modified conventional projector in 1971 (see LCD projector). If the rest of the article is based on similar misleading information, I vote for Delete.--BBCLCD (talk) 08:03, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[]

Non-notable actor. Subject fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:NACTOR. Article has been tagged for notability concerns for some time, and recently PRODed. While the reasons for the PROD were not sustained (and I agree with the PROD removal), I think an AfD discussion/decision is warranted. From the extensive WP:BEFORE exercises undertaken by MIDI (and indeed my own searches), it would seem that we barely have enough reliable/verifiable sources to support the limited text we have. And none to support notability. (All of the available sources seem to be the same trivial passing mentions we might expect for any "jobbing" actor (cast lists, production stills, etc). And these all just about confirm that the subject has had a number of (with every respect) "bit parts" in soaps, mini-series, etc. Nothing to indicate the "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, [etc]" expected by NACTOR.) There is no coverage of the subject in news (even acting industry news) articles. Subject has not been subject of any biographical coverage, no evidence of awards or anything else we might expect to differentiate this subject from any other similar "jobbing" actor...

The creator of the event isn’t notable. He hasn’t gained much significant coverage in reliable sources to clearly pass WP: GNG. And, if sources are mostly about the event, they wouldn't show notability for him. -Xclusivzik (talk) 19:56, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Generally, WP:NOTCATALOG. See for example past such list AFD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Steam games (2nd nomination). While we do list games by hardware platform, we have avoided games by storefront since this is basically just a storefront catalog. Theknine2 (talk) 21:00, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[]

Keep I would agree if this article were a List of App Store games, however Apple Arcade is for the most part a separate service which happens to be housed within the App Store and is not itself a storefront. This list only includes Apple Arcade original titles, which are often exclusive to the service with only a few games having a PC/console release and Apple holding mobile exclusivity for all Arcade titles. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Steam games (2nd nomination) points out how the games on the List of Xbox Live Arcade games are only available through the service and have features which tie in with 360 hardware, which also applies here as a majority of the games outlined in this list have been designed or ported specifically with Apple Arcade in mind. Mitchdog72 (talk) 02:40, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[]

List of Xbox Live Arcade games currently redirects to the main List of Xbox 360 games, with XBLA titles being noted in a column in the complete list of 360 titles. Hence, your justification regarding List of Xbox Live Arcade games is not valid. I'd like to point out the recent Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_EA_Play_games as well, since that was similarly a separate service which itself does not have a storefront, though in this case EA Play does not have any exclusive titles.

Relisting comment: There has been no discussion as to whether the sources in the article or the presented sources are actually GNG - so let's have this more thoroughly discussed...
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 01:02, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[]
What happens at other WP sites has no impact on English WP since they may have different notability criteria. The titles you mention don't meet WP:NKICK and notability isn't derived from your competitors. Can you reference significant independent coverage of him that isn't routine sports reporting to show WP:GNG is met? Do you have any evidence he actually fought for the WKN world championship? Papaursa (talk) 18:37, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Papaursa No, they don't have different criteria. I think two Asian championships are enough for notability. The sources are also abundant. [142], [143], [144]. I want .karellian-24 to participate in the ongoing discussion. Ali Pirhayati (talk) 12:06, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
You're wrong if you think different language WPs all have the same notability criteria. The new sources you list qualify as routine sports reporting, not significant coverage. Repeating the same source doesn't make him any more notable and your opinion about what's notable is less important than the actual existing WP notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 12:35, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
He fought for the world title twice, and not just once. If you want to google it it' enough. Plus he doesn't lack coverage. Regards, KarelRo .karellian-24 (talk) 13:44, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
I found two cases where he was scheduled to fight and pulled out due to injuries, but no world championship results for him from an organization that is listed at WP:NKICK. I asked for verification before and still haven't seen any. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but my searches didn't find it. Since GNG trumps SNG (which just provides a presumption of notability), I'll also settle for significant independent coverage (which is not fight results and announcements). Papaursa (talk) 18:20, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Papaursa [145], [146] and [147] are sources showing that he had fought for the world title. Ali Pirhayati (talk) 19:42, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]
I'm sorry, but all of those are fight announcements, not results. In addition, Shin Do and the Thai World Cup are not on the list at WP:NKICK. The other one is the one where he got injured against Sapp 3 weeks before the bout. Papaursa (talk) 00:59, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Papaursa (talk) 18:20, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[]

Papaursa [148], [149] and [150]Can You please get your facts right before you write . This is the Second time you mentioned this regarding he’s leg injury before the title fight.He fought Bob sapp feb 2002 and the title fight was feb 2003 so that’s one year after Martial.Arts21 (talk) 08:03, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[]

And here is the link. So stop please write personal opinions.

You are correct about the date. I was wrong about that, but not about him being Sapp's only victory in a string of 14 matches. That's hardly a show of dominance. Your failure to provide any reliable proof of notability means your view is opinion, while mine is based of WP notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 12:17, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[]
Brand new editor and he's the third one to mention the same article. A fight announcement is not proof the fight actually took place. Where is your evidence he meets WP:NICK or WP:GNG? Restating the same claims of events that fail to meet WP:NKICK, and the failure to provide significant sources, seems to indicate there's difficulty in making a claim of WP notability for Pirani. Papaursa (talk) 12:17, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[]

  • Delete per nom and Eggishorn: sources either not significant or not reliable. Arguments on the support side revolve around "he was covered in X (non-reliable) source", "he is one of the most famous X in Y" (sure...), "he competed against X" (so what), "he won X championship" (which is so obscure that it wouldn't be passing notability criteria itself), etc. Article looks promotional.
