I wanted to rescue this, but despite several weeks of research, I cannot find any evidence of notability. In all honesty, I haven't been able to find much to even verify the sole claim of notability: "Rishi ji was one of the most renowned freedom fighters of Bihar." Note: many of the books results are copies of the article. The rest of the article is mostly associations, but notability is not inherited and I cannot find an obvious merge target.

Resumé article on a non notable fashion designer who lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them.

2020–2021 United States racial unrest (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a fine article, no doubt. However, it is a content fork from Black Lives Matter, which is not permitted. Furthermore, it is strongly original research, WP:OR, which is banned in Wikipedia. There is nothing about 2020 that is special. It is just arbitrary chosen by original research. It could just as well be 1968-2021 United States racial unrest. Another point is that the article isn't even about 2020-2021 for there's a big section about foreign countries. These countries are not the United States. This article should be merged with BLM and redirected. A fine article but not permitted under WP:OR and just a duplicated BLM article with less information. Sorry. And remember, black lives do matter.

Another solution is to just create a new Category. That's what categories are for. If you're interested in a topic, say the killing of Breonna Taylor, you can click on that category and see articles for other similar killings.

  • Keep obviously. This is a legit CFORK per WP:SPINOUT. Content issues can be fixed and are not a valid reason for AFD. --LaserLegs (talk) 23:10, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete start a new Category for these killings, which is really what this article is all about. Vowvo (talk) 23:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Double vote struck; you already voted in your nomination. The article is not a list of killings but about the social upheaval surrounding them. Crossroads -talk- 00:19, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is not at all a content fork of Black Lives Matter, but a wider and different, although overlapped subject. One should just check the content of both pages to see it. This page might be renamed, but this should be discussed separately. My very best wishes (talk) 00:15, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, an obviously notable topic that would not fit in the BLM article or any other and would need to be immediately spun out again. Sources are clear that 2020, especially, is different from preceding years (some of which BLM existed during). Anyone who's been paying attention knows that Summer 2020 is totally different from Summer 2019, for example. And the events are not all about BLM. This talks about all sort of other things, from anti-racist self-education to riots. Crossroads -talk- 00:18, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is a wider subject than BLM and a category would not sufficiently cover the protests and subsequent unrest. It is not OR either because the article is properly sourced. JayJayWhat did I do? 03:58, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There is something about 2020 that's special, and it's the fact that there is enough documented data on US racial tensions at that time to guarantee the creation of an article about it and therefore follows WP:GNG. They have certainly been a thing before 2020, but you can probably recognize that in 2020 it undoubtedly escalated and got a lot more media coverage. It's not an invalid content fork because the article has a different scope than that of BLM's article and the topics, while connected, are not the same; merging it with the BLM article would make the section massive and give it excessive weight in comparison to the rest of the article. It is also well sourced and therefore does not constitute WP:OR. An article's scope falling within a specific time frame doesn't make it original research nor is a reason for deletion. A category would also fail to properly explain the connection, background and consequences of these events. Oqwert (talk) 15:42, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

'*delete very tough decision because people may think a keep is for BLM and a delete means you're a racist bigot. These killings have links to WP article so the article is really just a category, which it should become. The other info fits nicely into BLM. In fact, years from now, kids will look up BLM but they won't look here. Category could be "BLM related killings and protests". #SayHerName #BLM Vanny089 (talk) 08:17, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There is very clearly a current period of heightened racial and social unrest within the united states. some argue it originated in 2016, some argue 2012, some argue further than that, but the George Floyd protests in particularly, which began in the middle of a global pandemic and election year, was the main harbinger of the recent hyper-sensitivity to racial issues right now, and a page dedicated to collating related events during this period is necessary until the social zeitgeist shifts and/or the relative social upheaval dies down notably. RopeTricks (talk) 19:57, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Great idea! Your linking it to post-George Floyd makes sense! That would mean that 1968-2021 does not makes sense but post-George Floyd does. I now will change my vote. Vowvo (talk) 23:41, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources such that we could write a dedicated encyclopedia article on the topic without resorting to original research. Its only coverage is in passing, apart from one gameguide source (50 Fun Ways to Internet by Book-mart Press). The topic had no substantive additional analytical coverage in Google Books, Google Scholar, or a custom Google search of video game sources. There have been no sourcing improvements to the article since the last AfD and there are no worthwhile redirect targets, as our List of MUDs only lists games with their own articles. czar 22:50, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep The subject is notable and somehow meets WP:GNG But the whole article must be well streamlined, The subject in question even is an academic as well as a local governance commentator he is mostly on radio and television giving commentary or comments on governance and other aspects, better reliable sources have to be used in the article as some of the sources may not be considered as reliable enough in my opinion. The most reliable ones must be used and not just be put there just because of mere mentions, if not then any article can be put on wikipedia. Thats my opinion.

  • Delete - Non-notable fan film, that has zero sources currently. Searching for more, under both given English titles, turns up pretty much nothing in reliable sources. Searching under its Russian name turns up a few hits in articles about the creator, but nothing more than listing it as something he did with no actual coverage of the film itself. It also appears that this fan film no longer has an equivalent article on the Russian Wikipedia, as it seems to have been deleted there. The "Keep" votes in the prior AFD 13 years ago that resulted in the No Consensus decision were not based any any Wikipedia policy or guidelines, and should be disregarded.

Non-notable political party. Unsourced article; except for a few external links (the party's website now doesn't exist). I can't find any sources for the party either. It was PRODded by Kawnhr for the reason: No demonstrated notability. Short-lived political party (FR wiki page shows it's defunct) that never ran any candidates. But then deprodded by MJL who stated that French language sources exist for it. However, I can't see any French language sources, and the French WP page only has one (inaccessible) source.

@MJL: where are these French language sources though? There's the La Presse one on the Fr-WP page (I can't access that, but I'm assuming it's in-depth), and that one you linked to from radio-canada.ca. The other two you linked are, as you say, passing mentions, which seem to just state that at one point the party existed. I personally don't see how that shows notability. I wouldn't be opposed to a mention of this party in that election page you linked to (as it's mentioned in the Fr-WP page here). Maybe even a bit of a translation/expansion based on that Fr-WP page would be good? Seagull123 Φ 14:42, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just left a request at WP:RX for that La Presse article. Seagull123 Φ 22:46, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The party's lone financial report, covering the years 2005 and 2006, can be accessed here: [2], and it demonstrates that it was a fly-by-night outfit functioning on minimal funds. It does prove that the party existed in accordance to local laws, however, at least for a brief period. However, I'm not convinced that this enough to make it notable. I cannot access the article from La Presse, but its title leads one to think that the party is only mentioned in passing. It did not run candidates in any election, as far as I can tell and, as indicated above, news coverage was extremely limited after its founding. Xuxl (talk) 14:12, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • PINGing all participants in this discussion so far (@Kawnhr, MJL, and Xuxl). The request I left at WP:RX for help finding the La Presse source has been successful, and a link to that issue of La Presse is here (you'll need to scroll down to page A3 to find the article). The text of the article seems to take up about a quarter of the page, and from my reading of it, it seems to be about the founder of the party, and is a discussion of both her, the party, and how she founded it. I would say it is in-depth for Wikipedia's purposes. Seagull123 Φ 23:06, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that, it is actually an in-depth article on the party in a serious newspaper. However, I'm not certain that's enough to establish notability. For politicians, simply having been a candidate is not enough; you have to either have been elected to a notable office or gathered significant coverage while running for election. For a party, is it enough to have simply existed very briefly, without contesting an election? Because apart from that article and the one from radio-Canada about its founding there's very little out there. I also looked for articles about the party's leader, Aline Lafond, given it seemed to be a one-person outfit, and there's little out there either. So I'm not convinced this outfit is notable, and if it is it just barely scrapes by the general notability criteria. Xuxl (talk) 14:38, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I guess I'll downgrade my vote to a weak delete. I echo Xuxl's comments above: the La Presse article is certainly a solid source, but I'm left wondering how much there is to actually say about it. It existed, it professed this ideology and these goals, and… that's about it. This is still fundamentally a minor party that folded in two years, before it could even field any candidates; it cannot be said to have made even the smallest ripple in Quebec politics. That it received a degree of coverage (from La Presse and CBC both) is certainly unusual, but does that make it notable? I'm not convinced. — Kawnhr (talk) 19:13, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced for almost 14 years. This article is actually about two unrelated record labels of the same name neither of which seem to be that notable and neither of which seem to have ever released a notable piece of work. I can prove that the Bulgarian label existed because it is cited here in Hip Hop Around the World: An Encyclopedia. I couldn't actually find any in-depth coverage about either the Swedish or the Bulgarian label, though, to demonstrate a passing of WP:GNG or WP:NCORP. This could potentially be redirected to Bulgarian hip hop or Spens (musician) if we're looking for an WP:ATD. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 21:43, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See related Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic by China. This article is either a WP:POVFORK or a WP:POINT that seems bizarre. The article is also, seemingly, misattributing political statements and arguments by individual governing officials as official statements of the United States in a problematic WP:SYNTH fashion. We can include the appropriate material at Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic rather than referring to any country with a byline. jps (talk) 20:41, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And it still doesn't change my vote that it's a notable topic because the US was responsible for significant amounts of covid misinformation and is covered by numerous rs. CUPIDICAE💕 21:05, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any of those WP:RSes being used in the article. Instead, we have attribution of statements by people like Bill de Blasio as though he is speaking for the entire country? jps (talk) 21:10, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's almost as if you didn't bother to read any of the sources. The biggest surprise was that the president of the United States was the single largest driver of misinformation around Covid,” said Sarah Evanega, the director of the Cornell Alliance for Science and the study’s lead author. “That’s concerning in that there are real-world dire health implications.” and Misinformation around the pandemic is “one of the major reasons” the United States is not doing as well as other countries in fighting the pandemic, said Dr. Joshua Sharfstein from The New York Times[3] CUPIDICAE💕 21:22, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the United States, misinformation spread by elements of the media, by public leaders and by individuals with large social media platforms has contributed to a disproportionately large share of COVID-19 burden: Scientific American[4] CUPIDICAE💕 21:25, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
An article on Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic spread by social media, Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic spread by public leaders, and Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic spread by the media would all be articles that could do well as well. The point is that this article's very title is attributing misinformation to a country as a singular voice. There are elements within a whole variety of countries that have spread misinformation. There was the rally in Berlin, there are numerous wackadoos from Australia, UK, etc.... jps (talk) 21:29, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure which rock you've been under for the past five years or so, but the entire United States experienced a systemwide glitch called Trump, which unfortunately makes this article a keep. ScrupulousScribe (talk) 22:09, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Blink*. In this very thread I point out that attribution of misinformation to Donald Trump is sourced. Is there a source that indicates that Donald Trump = US while he was president? jps (talk) 00:30, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the information can be merged back into the main misinformation article; some can probably be incorporated into Trump administration communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. I don't think it's a good idea to keep it as is. (If the main misinformation article is too long, let's split it by topic instead of by country.) —Granger (talk · contribs) 09:41, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Now I see that there's a Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic by governments article. That is probably a better target for merging, and it is certainly not so long as to need to be split. —Granger (talk · contribs) 09:47, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like either a WP:POVFORK of Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic or a WP:POINTy political article meant to cast blame on China which is, for better or worse, a right-wing talking point.

  • Keep - well-sourced using Reuters, The NYTimes, WaPo, BBC, Guardian, WSJ, Time (UK), and others of similar quality, passes WP:GNG, not a POVFork, but a necessary spin-off.

    • A valid WP:CFORK works by spinning off a section into a new article with a {{main}} template link from the old summary-style section back to the main article. That is manifestly not the case here. These pages are just being created by WP:POVPUSH or for some other purpose I can only surmise. jps (talk) 21:06, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please feel free to copy a summary of the China article into a section in the main article. If you think there are specific instance of POVPUSH then raise it on the talk page. I dont agree that deletion is a valid recourse for the problems you are raising. see WP:PRESERVE Walrus Ji (talk) 21:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's not how this works. There is no place to put this kind of hastily stitched together material because the article out of which it was ostensibly spun out of details the misinformation point-by-point rather than trying to make some overarching point about country provenance. If the article were organized by country, that would be one thing. But it's not because this sort of approach is one that is novel and essentially being invented by Wikipdia editors rather than reflecting the analysis of outside sources. jps (talk) 21:16, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please see WP:NOTPERFECT. This page is a work in progress and I'm in the process of adding more content from reliable sources.

WP:DRAFT, then, if you think this is a work-in-progress. Right now, the article is nearly a WP:POLEMIC and is also pushing certain WP:FRINGE theories without context. jps (talk) 13:31, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thucydides411, I believe Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic by governments#China to be the best target for merging. –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:56, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there is such big section, but it could be better served as a separate page. I am not sure though such pages should exist for other countries. This is special case. The pandemic originated in China, but the government tells it did not [5]. Some say it could come even from Russian VECTOR -> [6]. My very best wishes (talk) 04:44, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
We can do the China section the same way the section on the United States was done, but it doesn't make sense for the originating country to be a short section while the US has its own stand alone page. It leaves the impression of a political bent rather than a NPOV. The same applies to all the Delete and merge comments and should be noted by the closer. Atsme 💬 📧 11:39, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Note to Atsme and closer. I've been involved in the splitting/spin off discussions for this article before. As can be seen here, we were discussing spinning off USA purely due to its size. We didn't discuss spinning off China (and ended up leaving it) because it was smaller than the USA section. Hopefully this is strong evidence of a valid CFORK (for USA) and strong evidence against POV. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:21, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article has no reliable references and I found little better in my search; it does not appear to have had any notable releases either. The only mention that I could find that was more than just a passing mention was this interview, which ironically states that the company has invested heavily in an online presence. Aside from that we just have Discogs, Facebook, Deezer, Mixcloud and other self-published stuff. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP from what I can see.

  • Keep Dear friends, this kind of discussion about events that took place over 100 years ago is somewhat objectionable and disconcerting. Yes, one proven league match in two seasons is not very many, but then the season had only 14 league matches, but then many more friendly games. In the text it states he also played friendly games. Friendly games also took time to organise and the travel to get there was not just sit in your car and drive there quickly. In most matches we cannot prove which players were involved, because the records no longer exist Aarau-FCB, FCB-YB, Stella-FCB, FCB-Biel, Aarau-FCB, YB-FCB, FCB-Stella, OB-FCB, Bern-FCB and Biel-FCB and that is 10 examples of the 14 league games in the 1910–11 season. FCB-Nordstern, LcdF-FCB, Sporting-FCB, Biel-FCB, FCB-Biel, YB-FCB in the season 1911–12. This article about the player Birger Persson is a small part of the history of the club FC Basel and if deleted, would smaller my attempt to document the club's history.

  • Keep Dear friends, this kind of discussion about events that took place over 100 years ago is somewhat objectionable and disconcerting. Yes, one proven league match in two seasons is not very many, but then the season had only six league matches (it was , but then many more friendly games. In the text it states he also played friendly games. Friendly games also took time to organise and the travel to get there was not just sit in your car and drive there quickly. In most matches we cannot prove which players were involved, because the records no longer exist: FCB-Nordstern, LcdF-FCB, Sporting-FCB, Biel-FCB, FCB-Biel, YB-FCB in the season 1911–12. Plus Biel-FCB in the season 1914–15. This article about the player Walter Flück is a small part within the history of the club FC Basel and if deleted, would smaller my attempt to document the club's history. Please take this into account when voting for or against deletion. Please do not destroy the club's history just because a few 100 year old match records are no longer at hand. In adition to all this, a notification from you abou this AFD on my talk page would have been honorable. Geetings from Switzerland --Huligan0 (talk) 01:14, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete it is time we once and for all reject the absurdity of one game notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:03, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Statement I've spent an evening analysing the problem. My mistake was that I did not pay enough attention to the fact that many records from before World War I no longer exist or are incomplete. I was working backwards in time and by players with more playing seasons, a couple of missing matches did not have that much of an affect. I have now modified the article, removed that statistics and replaced them with a footnote, have also added slightly modified pros and a different ref. I will await your feedback before adding further pre-war players. Greetings --Huligan0 (talk) 20:13, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would possibly redirect all to Allgemeine-SS. –Cupper52Discuss! 19:01, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (edit conflict) -- If these really were divisional commands in the sense of an army division (between brigade and corps), they ought to be notable. SS used titles differing from the equivalent army ones, so that I regard this as credible, but I do not know. In theri present state at the very least the articles need to be heavily tagged. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:02, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, they weren't "divisional commands in the sense of an army division", because the "general SS" wasn't a fighting force. These were apparently not much more than administrative areas, not independently operational units. And "ought to be notable" is neither here nor there; the question is: are they really? That question is decided by the usual criterion: individual in-depth coverage in multiple high-quality sources. (Before anybody cites WP:MILUNIT again: even that essay acknowledges that that's ultimately the only valid criterion and that no general rule about what types of units can normally be expected to be notable can actually provide a criterion of what is.) So far, we haven't really got anything. Even the single, decidedly low-quality source that is ostensibly cited (and in fact mis-cited) in all of these articles (Yerger), contains not more about most of them than routine listings of basic factoids, such as dates of formation and names of commanders.

  • Comment According to this source (in Czech, reliable I'd say), SS-Oberabschnitt was a highly ranked "territorial unit". There is a lot of information at G-books and in other sources, at least from what I've seen in Czech. The best option is creating one parent stand alone article SS-Oberabschnitt and merging all the relevant info in it. Then redirect individual articles listed above in this AfD. Just my opinion. Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 14:41, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What we have now is not perfect and I'm trying to offer better "encyclopedic solution". I belive there is enough material in reliable sources in multiple languages to create a decent article exclusively about the SS-Oberabschnitt, possibly mentioning also a list of its "branches". [8]. Deleting just because someone was sloppy or cheated us is continuing sloppiness. Just my opinion. Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 10:58, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There may well be material in reliable sources about these topics, and if there is, a new SS-Oberabschnitt article could be written from scratch, or perhaps Units and commands of the Schutzstaffel should first be expanded with it. But the present content cannot be used for this purpose because it is by an unreliable editor and from an unreliable source. Sandstein 14:30, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect all to Units and commands of the Schutzstaffel – Yeager's book is referenced there so the citation won't be lost – any new reliable sources can be added to the "Units and commands of the Schutzstaffel" article – cheers, Epinoia (talk) 19:13, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge: I knew Mark Yerger in real life. For what its worth, he was not a revisionist historian and, while some of his books on the Waffen-SS were rather slanted, the work he wrote on the Allgemeine-SS is essentially just an index of these commands with detailed lists of their leaders and operational years. To dismiss his book out of hand seems not to be in order. As for the article, best to just merge into a new article about the SS Senior Districts. I should also add, the "Ostland" Allgemeine-SS unit mentioned in this list was connected to the Higher and SS Police Command in Latvia which murdered tens of thousands of Jews. That alone might justify keeping that as a stand alone article or merging it to some appropriate Holocaust related article. -2601:152:4001:4460:3869:F967:294C:2B4B (talk) 05:38, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a procedural hijack and an attempt to make sure that editors who do their job properly won't have time to respond. This is 'putting old wine in new bottles' — doing by indirection that which you cannot do by direction.
This is relevant, and it should be fixed. It is a fact. It is always put into the history. I've never seen this, and it is a direct result of the misbegotten attempt to purge a couple of hundred articles. And all at once, overwhelming the limited number of editors who actively try to save articles, while at the same time trolling those editors to make their job difficult and discourage them with distractions. Apparently it takes no time to resurrect hundreds of Navy Cross/Silver Star/Ship name honorees for deletion. It takes a lot of time to respond and improve all of these articles. This is in fact a second nomination (among many). And given the fact that there is no good faith compliance with WP:Before and a blatant disregard of sources that exist but aren't cited — which do factor in to notability, this sneak attack is (dare I say it) ... a date that will live in infamy. You are distorting the process and rigging the outcomes.

This is a procedural hijack and an attempt to make sure that editors who do their job properly won't have time to respond.
This is relevant, and it should be fixed. It is a fact. It is always put into the history. I've never seen this, and it is a direct result of the misbegotten attempt to purge a couple of hundred articles. And all at once, overwhelming the limited number of editors who actively try to save articles, while at the same time trolling those editors to make their job difficult and discourage them with distractions. Apparently it takes no time to resurrect hundreds of Navy Cross/Silver star/Ship name honorees for deletion. It takes a lot of time to respond and improve all of these articles. This is in fact a second nomination (among many). And given the fact that there is no good faith compliance with WP:Before and a blatant disregard of sources that exist but aren't cited — which do factor in to notability, this sneak attack is (dare I say it) ... a date that will live in infamy. You are distorting the process and rigging the outcomes.

Not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 15:06, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Parodies are widely mentioned in reliable sources ([9], [10], [11], [12]), however none of these represent significant coverage, or provide the full lyrics such as we have here. The subject is already mentioned in the main article, but there's nothing here to merge, no reliable sources.----Pontificalibus 15:21, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of United Kingdom-related deletion discussions. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 16:59, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is already being discussed at Talk:We Three Kings (parodies)#Requested move 31 December 2020, where there already seems to be consensus for deletion, including from the creator of this new article (which might qualify it for speedy deletion under G7). Perhaps discussion should be continued there, rather than duplicating it here. Station1 (talk) 22:39, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • My only reason for creating "... (parodies)" was to get the low-grade, gossip-column parody cruft cleared out from the We Three Kings article. I was concerned that simply deleting that low-grade material from that main article might lead to an edit-war of attrition, so moving it out to the "...(parodies)" location would at least give the option of saying "parody stuff belongs over there, not here". I would support a deletion, but ask that we can consider accompanying that with some sort of statement at the main article that parody stuff doesn't belong. Feline Hymnic (talk) 13:05, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For future reference, if low-grade gossip-column parody cruft doesn't belong in an article, it's unlikely to merit a new article all to itself.----Pontificalibus 15:04, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Yes, I get that. What I was also hoping to achieve was a result at the main We Three Kings article along the lines of "this material should not be re-instated in this article". (If it's not good enough for its own parody article, then neither is it good enough for the main article.) If our decision here is 'delete' (fine with me), can we supplement that with something (e.g. an agreed editing comment) at the main article that says "please do not put parody material here"? Feline Hymnic (talk) 16:36, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but the argument that "if it's not good enough for its own parody article, then neither is it good enough for the main article" is simply absurd. If reliable sources cover parodies they are good enough to be covered somewhere in Wikipedia, if not in a separate article then as part of the We Three Kings article. And I really don't get who you all are who think that the original is so much more notable than the parodies. Weren't you children once? Didn't you sing "we three kings of Leicester Square" rather than "we three kings of Orient are"? And this is not low-grade, is not confined to gossip columns and is not cruft, but is a much more well-established part of (at least English) culture than the latest Internet meme. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:54, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm sure that when I was at school (in North-West London in the 1960s and 1970s) the words to the first verse included "how fantastic, no elastic" rather than what is in the article, and this is confirmed by [13]. I don't have time to look further at the moment, but am pretty certain that at least as many people have sung parodies of this carol as the original version, so would be very surprised if they didn't have significant coverage in reliable sources if people could only be bothered to look properly before commenting here. I would have thought that they are better presented in the We Three Kings article, but it seems that some editors are too straight-laced to admit that in popular culture this is a much-parodied carol. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:37, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I have voted Delete at the other discussion place for this article. RobinCarmody (talk) 19:49, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Once you take out the one specific parody which has no special significance, what do you have left? Not much, and that's got dubious sourcing. We Three Kings#Parodies says all that's needed. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:16, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per the discussion in the move request. This is not an article about parodies of We Three Kings, but a collection of dubiously sourced quotes of no utility. BD2412 T 06:00, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Vice-mayor of a city is not an "inherently" notable role that automatically guarantees the right to a Wikipedia article — he could potentially get an article if it were possible to write a substantive article that delved into properly sourced analysis of the significance of his work in the role (specific projects he undertook, specific effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth), but he's not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because one or two sources announcing his death can be offered to support a two-sentence stub which goes no further than saying that he existed.

Dear Wikipedia, Please do not delete this article. I do understand your points that a lot of phones do support HD voice now, which is a good thing, but I fail to understand how this is a problem. Is anyone personally being negatively affected by this article existing? Is anyone losing sleep at night over it? Does it take up a large amount of server space? This article is widely used as a point of reference on forums discussing this technology, and for answering technical support questions such as when someone asks if they can use a particular phone (such as if it’s an older model or a lesser known model from a different country) with a certain carrier that requires VoLTE. Where’s the harm in leaving this article alone? Isn’t that the point of Wikipedia, to be a point of reference of knowledge and information? I’ve personally spent a lot of time updating and tweaking this list over the years and it would be a shame for it all to be lost.

Just another unnotable band GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 13:17, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

German hardcore punk band. The article doesn't cite any sources, just unreliable external links. Might I add that the other wikis aren't better in terms of sourcing. The band's Allmusic page is blank, and the album page is blank as well, only containing a track listing and user reviews. Couldn't find anything that establishes notability. They are present in the usual junk sites like youtube, databases, lyrics sites, streaming links, retail sites and blogs, but nowhere else. No reliable sources are available, therefore I think they are unnotable. Additionally, I might mention that COI / promotion is also apparent as the article was created by a user whose edits mainly revolved around this article, same applies for the interwiki links: at least on two WP projects, the article was created by IPs who hasn't edited anything else, and on the other two WP projects the article was also created by people who hasn't edited much else other than this. So an unnotable band is present on more wikis without any reliable sources. Nice.GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 13:15, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: There are two flaws in the nomination. One there is no reference to local papers being unacceptable on the page containing the tag WP:GNG. Secondly, this is a regional paper not a local paper. Read the {{AFD help}}, notability is a matter of protecting us from hoaxes, bias and non- verifiable articles. If the building could be verified but has not been yet, we err on the side of WP:AGF. Google to see. ClemRutter (talk) 00:39, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Here are reasons against deleting. When to not use deletion process?
    • Articles that are in bad shape – these can be tagged for cleanup or attention, or improved through editing.@
    • Articles we are not interested in – some topics are of interest only to some people, but since Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, articles that interest some people should be kept.
    • Articles on topics you wish didn't exist for personal belief reasons – Wikipedia contains information on all topics, not just those which any person or group agrees with.
  • I was tempted to do a quick google to see if other references were easy to find- this should have been done before the AfD proposal. Dozens. Award winning formwork this is an architecture article too. {{AFD help}}- ClemRutter (talk) 00:39, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    I already did a BEFORE search. I have no idea why you decided to give me a list of reasons not to nominate something at AfD when I clearly didn’t nominate for those reasons. Also WP:LOCALINT which claims local news is good enough by itself for notability is a failed proposal. Here is the Yorkshire Evening Post article for reference. It’s 3 sentences. Not even significant coverage. So 2 run of the mill local news articles plus that award thing is not good enough. Notability is also something that keeps out stuff barely anyone is interested in and/or has had little relevance or attention. SK2242 (talk) 02:21, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment Problem with a before search is that it only covers what Google wants you to see. So whichever news organisations it has black listed (or vice versa) don't appear. Only a fraction of reliable sources can be found online, the vast majority, particularly pre-2000, are only in printed form.
    Per another recent AfD you initated, you appeared to refuse to accept notable notable industry sources such as Buses and Bus & Coach Professional stating I don’t seeany evidence of significant coverage, Are you expecting a double page feature article in a national newspapeer to demonstrate notability? That's not likely to happen. Local newspapers are fine to report events that are never going to be significant enough to make the national press, WP:LOCALINT states Local sources are considered to be reliable sources. In much the same way that industry publications are fine to be used. Lilporchy (talk) 05:24, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • A failed proposal is one where there was no consensus to adopt it. That doesn't necessarily mean there was consensus for the opposite.
    • I think you're misreading the proposal in any case. Pudsey bus station would come under this proposal's definition of a "local interest". It then says it is likely that a lot of local interests have received coverage in more than one of these [local] sources. This would seemingly meet the general notability guideline—"seemingly" as distinct from "actually". Subsequently, it goes on to say In order for a local interest to be notable, it must, to a very high standard, have multiple reliable sources independent from the subject that provide in-depth, non-trivial coverage pertaining to the subject itself (emphasis mine). That is, it's attempting to impose a higher bar for inclusion than WP:GNG. So it seems the failed proposal is concurring with your argument here. (Looking at the talk page, it seems most objections to the proposal were to the idea of this higher bar for inclusion, or were procedural objections based on the wording.)

    • @SK2242: Can you explain what a 'BEFORE search' actually is.

ClemRutter (talk) 12:45, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:LOCALINT tried to set a lower bar than GNG as it still had the same requirements but said its fine if theres no national interest. I’d also like a list of the sources found that makes this meet GNG. Thanks, SK2242 (talk) 16:20, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    SK2242, I didn't find sources beyond those already found: I think those are a borderline pass of WP:GNG but I'm not sure, which is why I haven't !voted.

    Thanks for the clarification of the jargon - good to know that Google aren't been threatened with closure yet. I search on the term and 'Yorkshire Post' and 'Telegraph and Argus'- here is one you might not have found. BBC Leeds. Bus station designs do have a wide interest in local government circles, and we have many articles and many categories. To me there is interest in the town planning, architecture, the financing, the operators and the routes. Most of these articles have been written by knowledgeable bus and rail buffs and are scantily referenced. ClemRutter (talk) 17:49, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. I've moved the article formerly at Valerius Maximus Basilius (urban prefect 319) to this title. — The Earwig ⟨talk01:34, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of several articles written by a now-banned user which requires a bit of complicated explanation for why it should be deleted. First, it is pure WP:GENEALOGY in all but the first sentence. Second, this individual is identical with Maximus (praefectus urbi). Third, he may in fact be a mixture of two distinct people.

To this 'Valerius Maximus Basilius' are herein attributed two state offices, each of which the Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire (PLRE, a standard source for a topic like this) assigns instead to two separate individuals, one to a 'Basilius' and the other to a 'Maximus' (this one has his own Wikipedia article already, mentioned above). The PLRE says they are 'perhaps' the same person or brothers, and their father 'may have been' Valerius Maximus (praetorian prefect), who in turn was 'presumably related' to Valerius Maximus Basilius (urban prefect 319) from the previous generation. The pattern of names in the (supposed) family obviously makes the current article name plausible, but the tone seems too speculative to decisively establish the article's subject as a historical individual.

What then, of course, do the article's own sources say? One was added only much after the article was created and mentions only the same Maximus (with the same speculative tone), adding nothing which was already written before. The remaining one, on which the article was based at its inception, is a dubious work of genealogy (Settipani) which makes some bold and sometimes (apparently, by my experience) flatly incorrect statements about family relationships of imperial Roman senators.

To sum up, it's far from certain (perhaps even unlikely) this individual existed in the way his sub-par Wikipedia article describes him, and what can be said about him seems to already be recorded at Maximus (praefectus urbi). Avilich (talk) 18:18, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose deletion, although the article may be in need of work. That the subject is intended to be the Praefectus Urbi between AD 361 and 363 seems apparent, and that makes him inherently notable, even if most of the rest of the information in the article is uncertain. The fact that most of the material is genealogical in nature does not make it unimportant or unreliable, although it might need to be carefully described as speculative. Christian Settipani is cited as a source in the lead paragraph, but looking over the page history it seems to have been the primary source, perhaps accompanied by an inherently unreliable genealogy page that has long since been deleted, the source for which is unknown and probably unknowable, although I suspect it would just have led back to Settipani. This person is certainly found in other reliable sources that suggest the possibility of at least some of the relationships in question: Inge Mennen is cited, and I can see the note on page 127 that mention the subject's possible descent from the late Valerii Messallae, and cites another source that I haven't checked. I didn't find this fellow in PW, but for a variety of reasons I can't conclude anything from that; it's very hard to search for someone whose correct nomenclature is unclear, and who might appear under several different headings or in any of multiple supplements. I don't have access to PLRE, but I did get a snippet view of Settipani, which suggests that the material we're after comes somewhere around pages 229 or 230—my snippet seems to be about this man's supposed father or grandfather. The question is whether Settipani sets these relationships in terms of certainty, probability, or mere possibility—something I can't determine without seeing the original text.
Nonetheless, even if the relationships in question are merely possible, as Mennen describes them, they would bear mentioning. Obviously had the subject not been Praefectus Urbi or held some similarly important Imperial post, such as being governor of Achaea, he might not be notable, and therefore his prospective relationship with the Valerii Messallae would not save this article. But whether the prefect and the governor are the same man, whether we're sure what his correct nomenclature is, and whether his relationship to other important persons has been established by Settipani or others, is claimed to have been established by credible scholars, is probable but unproven, or is merely speculative, it would still be appropriate content for this article, since clearly there are at least a couple of reliable sources that discuss it. His genealogy doesn't make him notable, but because he's notable for other reasons, and because his possible descent is relevant, it can properly be included in this article. P Aculeius (talk) 14:42, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This issue here isn't notability – as I said, the praefectus urbi of 361–3 already has its own article, Maximus (praefectus urbi). That Settipani sets these relationships in terms of probability or mere possibility is what I argued above. The obscure governor of Achaea is probably another person, and the nomen 'Valerius' is just assumed. The only Valerius Maximus Basilius we know existed for certain is Valerius Maximus Basilius (urban prefect 319), the supposed grandfather you must have stumbled upon. This article definitely needs a WP:TNT. Avilich (talk) 16:13, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
WP:TNT is almost never the right answer. This is a very short article, and its content would be easily merged into the various persons to whom it applies who have their own articles, as Peterkingiron suggests. If we have articles about the prefect, the supposed father or grandfather, and other people who are likely related to him, the contents should probably be merged into those articles, which should then link to each other—then this title should redirect to the prefect or his homonymous predecessor. That's not the same process as deletion, but it should serve the purpose of this discussion. P Aculeius (talk) 17:08, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I had wanted to redirect Valerius Maximus Basilius (urban prefect 319) to Valerius Maximus Basilius, whence I started this discussion. If the latter is merged with (say) Maximus (praefectus urbi), you'd have an incorrect name as a redirect and I still wouldn't be able to perform the move. The only thing Wikipedia loses from deleting this article is a brief mention of some obscure guy under an incorrect name serving as proconsul of Achaea (without even a date...), which can easily be recreated (under the right name, Basilius) by a better informed editor than the one who created the subject of this discussion. Avilich (talk) 20:21, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or Redirect to Melania the Elder. My guess is that we know nothing else about him. Praefect and Proconsul are certainly important posts, but as far as I know, we do not have complete lists of these officeholders, let alone biographies. This article is essentially genealogical. We frequently redirect wives to their husbands. In this case I suggest we do the reverse. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:39, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - This was quite a read so if I'm misunderstanding something don't hesitate to correct me. But, this article is meant to represent the person who was Praefectus urbi from 361-363, but what his exact name was is in question because of historically questionable sources, however this article represents the Praefectus urbi during those years and that's his claim to notability and why the article exists. However, there is another article, Maximus (praefectus urbi) that represents this person. Whatever his name may have actually been, we know that he was identified by his peers as "Maximus" so that's what this article article calls him. If I've understood those two facts correctly, then there's already an article for this subject, and anything that can be preserved should be moved to this other already existing article. - Aoidh (talk) 03:20, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, as far as I can tell from this very confusing discussion, this article's content duplicates another article, and since it is not really a plausible search term as there are other Valerius Maximus Basilius', there is no point in a redirect. Devonian Wombat (talk) 08:12, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or (reluctant) delete There is some material worth salvaging from this article. One is the longer name, Valerius Maximus Basilius, which is typical of the 4th century; but without some source that attests that concatenation existed, it is speculative. (And all 3 name elements were very common in Roman society; it is not safe to assume where one appears the other 2 can be safely deduced.) Inga Mennen is a reliable source, so her suggestion that (Valerius) Maximus is related or descended from Valerius Maximus signo Basilius (the urban prefect of 319) should be saved. (NB -- the Valerius inside the parentheses shows that it is inferred, not attested.) But as for the rest... the fact that this article still contains much of the original author's text makes it very suspect. -- llywrch (talk) 23:07, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Llywrch: I've added what I think is salvageable into Maximus (praefectus urbi) – namely, his possible relationship or identification with another Basilius, him being the possible husband of Melania the Elder, his probable relationship with the two Valerii Maximi aforementioned, and the Inge Mennen source. I left out the bold and unsourced claim of his descent from the emperor Augustus' sister. Otherwise, there isn't anything else. Both articles claim their subject to be a nephew of Vulcacius Rufinus (cos. 347), making their identification certain. The current article still needs to be deleted, because the urban prefect of 319 is the only person who we know for sure was called "Valerius Maximus Basilius", and so should be moved to the target which the nominated article currently occupies. I can't do that while this discussion drags onward. Avilich (talk) 00:47, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Avilich: I modified some of that information at Maximus (praefectus urbi): whoever originally added the material from Ammianus Marcellinus botched not only the cite, but some of the content; since I own a copy of that Latin historian's work, I was able to correct it. And Ammianus is the ultimate source for the statement that Maximus was the nephew of Vulcacius Rufinus. (FWIW, I assume Vulcacius was his mother's brother.)
Anyway, the status of this discussion only touches on this article:, so if you want to rewrite the one on Maximus, AFAICS you are free to rewrite the heck out of it. But if you want to convert this article into a redirect to the urban prefect of 319, you may want to check & update the links to this article first: at least one -- part of that banned editor's monomaniacal pursuit to demonstrate Descent from antiquity -- is intended for the urban prefect of 361-363, not the earlier one. -- llywrch (talk) 09:08, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – the article was nominated for deletion only a month prior to you nominating it again, and the consensus was to keep. I feel like we're going round in circles here, wasting the time of editors when we could be doing more constructive things. Initially I too was opposed to the creation of the article as it seemed like more centenarian fandom and that she was only known for being a relative of somebody famous. I've changed my mind – the article is well written and sourced for a start. It also demonstrates that Baker Miracle is notable enough in her own right as a memoirist and popular media personality to merit her own article. Baker Miracle's article by no means stands out on Wiki as an exception to a rule, but rather a common occurrence of somebody being in the public eye consistently as a result of being tied to a more known personality. Presidential siblings/parents are often in that category e.g. Nancy Walker Bush Ellis, as are people like Jackie Stallone. I don't see any difference between them and Baker Miracle. Bottom line should be if they're personalities in their own right, regardless of how they got there or who they became known through, they merit an article.

Comment: [note that this is partly the same comment I left on the Gladys Pearl Baker article, as the same things apply] Apologies, I was not aware that there had recently been a discussion on possibly deleting this article, my bad! The thing is, these types of articles tend to attract really, really shoddy writing and sourcing, as well as the type of celeb mythology that has little basis on truth. Although it is true that Monroe's mother does have a central place in her 'mythology' and does attract interest, I don't think that's really the case with Baker Miracle. The only time she ever was in the public eye was for a very brief moment when she published a book about Monroe, and AFAIK even then we're not talking about a great deal of publicity or a bestseller.

Delete. Notability is not inherited. She was the half-sister of Marilyn Monroe who, according to the article, only met Monroe later in life, and co-authored one book about Monroe with her daughter in 1994. Her only claim to any sort of notability is being the half-sister of someone famous. ExRat (talk) 19:49, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Jkaharper as a bona fide personality. "Notability is not inherited", like BLP1E, is something often misinterpreted as broader than it really is; "being related to someone famous" is a thing some people are notable for. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 09:07, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. BLP subject who co-wrote the only authorized family memoir on Marilyn. The missing big sister who influenced and connected with twelve year-old Norma Jean. A significant person in the celeb mythology of the cult figure. Existing sources meet GNG. Nobody wants this merged into the MM page. I agree it needs improvement and stewardship. The article as of this datestamp now covers Berniece, Mona, and the book. With the recent Gladys keep close, both articles will serve as appropriate family life subpages for the main page.

Coordinates show an isolated point along a small stream known as Whippoorwill Branch. This is unrelated to the article redirected in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whippoorwill, Kentucky, which was in Logan County.

The result was redirect to Terry Alderman. There is no consensus here either way whether to merge this content to Terry Alderman or not; that conversation would be best suited to the talk page of the article or a more central location. However, there is consensus in the discussion below that the article should not remain in its current form, which redirecting achieves. Editors can, either boldly or with consensus, rescue the content from behind the redirect and perform a merge to Terry Alderman should they wish, and normal editorial process can take it from there.

  • Merge - Firstly, the claim that the RfC had a consensus to cover all cricket articles is a complete lie, the closing administrator noted that "here's no consensus here that they should universally be included. Nor is there a clear consensus that such sections should be removed from all cricketer articles". Secondly, I simply don't believe that there is no source that would compile his five wicket hauls together, but the obvious solution is to merge the list of five wicket hauls to Terry Alderman. A valid alternative to deletion that is not inappropriate. The sourcing is entirely fine for an article outside of a list. Deletion is a poor and lazy option here and editors need to find other solutions rather than just nominating the article for deletion.The nominator has a clear bias against particular cricket articles and needs to stop nominating them for deletion when a clear alternative exists and they are required to consider those before deleting. Deus et lex (talk) 12:22, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Terry Alderman (removing details of the batsmen dismissed). No issues with inclusion in the main subject article, per WP:NOTSTATS and WP:SPLIT, and would enhance the content there. International five-wicket hauls are a noteworthy achievement, and by definition, a list of them within the main article has the necessary context and explanation, so does not fail NOTSTATS in this regard. Unfortunately the nom seems to be misrepresenting the consensus of the cited RFC, which closed: "There's no consensus here that they should universally be included. Nor is there a clear consensus that such sections should be removed from all cricketer articles." wjematherplease leave a message... 14:16, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete with the possibility of some prose being added to the player's article. These sorts of tables need to be supported by prose and considered on an individual basis if they're going to be included on the individual's article.

  • Delete I tagged this article for {{notability}}, as the sources were almost entirely passing mentions. It's not so much an organization as it is a list of signatories to an open letter. It would make sense to have an article on a group that, say, holds a series of annual conferences that receive sustained coverage in the science press. This isn't that. The only substantial coverage of this "working group" after its initial announcement was a small study that compared it with the statement issued shortly thereafter in opposition. (A sample from their conclusion: [S]cientists who are more familiar with biomedical experiments are more likely to endorse maintaining current safety protocols. The combination of weak peer effects with strong specialization effects suggests that these scientists are drawing on disciplinary knowledge in making their choice, perhaps reflecting greater familiarity with the laboratory risk mitigation techniques, and thus judge the risks as acceptable.) As they were both covered to roughly the same extent, having an article on one group but not the other violates NPOV, as does including one group merely as an afterthought in the article about the other. But neither the Cambridge Working Group nor Scientists for Science rise to the level of needing a stand-alone article. Anything that needs to be said about either can be said more usefully in a more general article about biomedical research. XOR'easter (talk) 01:06, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think the subject of this entry can best be described as something between a think tank and an open letter, not an organization. Since you tagged the article, I have added a number of reputable sources, including O Globo, Le Monde, Science Magazine, Forbes, Scientific American, the Guardian, Wired, Nature Magazine, CIDRAP, Vox, the New York Times, and NPR. Most of these articles mention the group as an integral part of the subject, as did the New York Magazine article, which you removed, and which I feel should be included as a reference. The group was formed informally, a number of years before it wrote its consensus statement, and it has gained attention due to the current scrutiny around the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is subject to controversy as the site of a possible biosecurity event. ScrupulousScribe (talk) 05:33, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If the group is an integral part of the subject, then it should be described in an article on the subject. The fact that it took them a long time to issue a statement after they first started talking about it doesn't make them more worthy of note. Passing mentions and blurbs that just recycle their statement (like Wired) are not enough to build an article on. Nor do any of the sources indicate that the group, as opposed to the general question of research risk, is of continuing interest. XOR'easter (talk) 16:14, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please read the sources I provided. I just added a new one from Science magazine. It is untrue to say they give the group only "passing mentions and blurbs". Furthermore, the question of continuing interest would be best resolved if you reverted your deletion of one of the sources that mention them. ScrupulousScribe (talk) 22:19, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have read all of the sources (I even contributed one); my evaluation of them stands. The New York Magazine story you mention is by a non-subject-matter-expert and has had its reliability questioned (currently being debated in a slightly different context at WP:RSN). I should perhaps say that I generally prefer when articles at AfD can be improved to the point where they're kept, and I like documenting odd aspects of the scientific community: unusual research groups, niche journals, eccentric books — writing about somebody's obscure passion project can be quite emotionally satisfying. And, of course, the general topic of medical-research risk is a socially important one. If I thought the sources on the Cambridge Working Group justified telling its story as a stand-alone article, I'd be fighting tooth and nail for it. But it's my honest take that they don't. In fact, given the story that the sources do lay out, dedicating an article to it in this way raises a fundamental POV problem, which nobody has addressed. XOR'easter (talk) 23:49, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Thanks for reading the sources. Sorry if I insinuated that you don't understand the topic at hand. I have observed a problem with some editors with a certain POV who don't even bother to read sources supporting a contrarian POV, and then the discussion just goes nowhere, and this is a problem that is playing out in other threads. While I understand why you don't think the New York Magazine article isn't relevant here, I don't think it's fair to disqualify a reliable source based on its authorship, as it would have gone through a rigorous editorial review process. The author also wrote a book on the subject of bioweapons research by the US government, so it would be incorrect to say he doesn't understand the topic of virology, and can't write on it as a journalist. I believe the source does meet the criteria of WP:RS, though perhaps I need to create a new section, on its recent notability regarding COVID-19.
I agree that there can be a POV problem if we don't also create an entry on the "Scientists for Science" group, but I would point out to you that they were mostly created in reaction to the Cambridge Working group, and there is now some middle ground between them. Another point I would like to make to you is that I think it will become increasingly more important for Wikipedia editors to understand the different classifications of emerging infectious diseases, and that the accidental release of a virus undergoing gain of function research should not be conflated with the deliberate release of a virus constructed as a bioweapon, and consensus of the Cambridge Working Group is very valuable for making this point.

  • Weak Keep Not much sigcov, more small mentions or just standard reporting, but I think I think it is notable enough for pressurising the federal authorities to bring in the memorandum, and that it has been quoted by many scientific papers since (which if an academic individually would probably swing it).Davidstewartharvey (talk) 08:18, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would ask you to refrain from badgering the views of those who are arguing different from your view point. This is a talking shop where editors can express their views to the AFD. Each editor puts their case, and is not designed to be a personal attack on each others opinions. So far you have continued to personally challenge the arguments of the editors for Keep.

How is anything that I've said a personal attack on anyone's opinion? I've replied to people, people have replied to me, and I've replied to them in turn. New arguments have been brought up (counting Google hits, appearances in some books, etc.), which have required additional discussion beyond my !vote above. I'm not expecting to make the final decision; I rather think this is one of those cases where the standard of sourcing that I find reasonable is higher than what the consensus settles on, and the article is eventually kept in spite of anything I say. It's happened at least once before, and it might happen again, as such is the way of things. XOR'easter (talk) 16:36, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This group was effective in getting a moratorium on dangerous virus experimentation in 2014. But then the experiments were resumed in 2017. And now we have a novel virus causing a global pandemic. The matter has naturally attracted attention such as this at each stage and this large group of scientists seems to be a significant part of the story. I'm not finding another article on Wikipedia which covers the history of this controversy in a more general way. If there is one, the worst case would be that we merge into it. Otherwise this will have to do as a start and we should be considering expansion. WP:ATD applies: "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page."

Agreed. However, the Google search (i.e. the link at the top of this page) delivers over 2600 results. As to what "significant coverage" means is a bit subjective. On balance, I would say this article has it. Arcturus (talk) 16:05, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Counting Google hits is not a reliable indicator of pretty much anything. XOR'easter (talk) 16:51, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's indicative. That's why it's included in the Find Sources facility. I did say it was subjective. Anyway, just out of interest, and off-topic in a direct sense, but when I looked through Google Scholar results I found this one: [16]. Arcturus (talk) 17:29, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's included in the "Find sources" tool because it's a way to find sources, not because counting the total number is helpful (usually, it isn't, which is why it's literally listed at Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions). Forbes "contributor" pieces are not reliable sources, since even when written by subject-matter experts they have no editorial oversight — and oversight and review matter even more for medicine than for most subjects. XOR'easter (talk) 18:35, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I seem to have given the impression that the Forbes article was relevant to the discussion - as I said, it's off topic. However, some contributors here might find it interesting, that's all. Anyway, check out the contributor [17] and then have a look at what Wikipedia says about subject-matter experts at Forbes. Arcturus (talk) 18:59, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Biotechnology risk. From what I can see reading the sources (e.g. this one [18]), the actual notable topic here is the scientific and public debate about benefits and dangers of gain-of-function research in life sciences. Section Biotechnology risk#Regulation addresses the matter rather briefly but it really deserves to be substantially expanded or perhaps an extra section added in that article. Both groups, The Cambridge Working Group and Scientists for Science, ought to be mentioned there. However, from the sources discussed so far (and from those that I myself have been able to find), I do not see the amount and depth of coverage of the CWG as sufficient to justify a standalone article about it. Nsk92 (talk) 20:07, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Updating my comment, after the close has been reversed, to merge to Gain of function research#Biorisk concern, which is a new article, created after the start of this AfD, which looks like a more plausible merge target here. Nsk92 (talk) 11:04, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. The group is visible and covered not only in Science (journal) ([19]) and news, but even in books [20]. Importantly, it includes a number of high-profile scientists we have pages about (see here and list on the page). Yes, it is obviously related to Biotechnology risk, however, this is a specific organization that seems to be sufficiently notable by itself for a standalone page. My very best wishes (talk) 22:17, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Some of those Google Books hits are false positives, even predating the actual announcement of the "working group" (which, again, was more an open letter than an organization). The rest appear to be the same kind of brief, passing mentions that we've already seen. One news story that does little more but state they exist is not WP:SIGCOV, and supplementing it with a smattering of name-drops doesn't exactly help. Why should Wikipedia say more about this group than anyone else? XOR'easter (talk) 00:23, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OK, so what do we have about this organization (no, this is not a letter, but an organization)?
  1. First four books (link above) mention this organization in a meaningful way, fifth book is not about it; I did not check other books.
  2. Article in Science ([21])
  3. Article in PNAS (Disparate foundations of scientists’ policy positions on contentious biomedical research), and it mentioned this organization as important.
  4. This article tells: "The debates continued into 2014 and a series of significant biosafety lapses at U.S. government laboratories spurred different groups of scientists to organize to provide a collective expression of their views about the implications for what had now become known as “gain-of-function” (GOF) research.16 One group, called the Cambridge Working Group after its founding meeting at Harvard University, issued a consensus statement in July focused solely on biosafety concerns that recommended: "For any experiment, the expected net benefits should outweigh the risks. ..." etc. This statement was soon followed by a competing statement from another new group, Scientists for Science, which argued "Scientists for Science are confident that biomedical research on potentially dangerous pathogens can be performed safely..." etc.
  5. Forbes: [22]
  6. this
  7. [23] - an article in The Lancet.
  8. this article
  9. And so on. I am tired to count. My very best wishes (talk) 01:56, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the first four books. None of them give details about the organization as an organization. Books three and four give them parity with Scientists for Science, indicating that the two groups should not be described in separate articles and that the later should not be treated as a footnote to the former, but rather, that both are part of the story of a legitimate scientific debate. The article in Science is a short news item that notes the CWG's existence. The article in PNAS is one that I found and added to the page the other day; like the book mentions, it indicates parity of significance between CWG and SFS. It's probably the best source of the bunch, and it tells us to write about the two groups together as part of the larger story. The Forbes item is a "contributor" piece; it might have some value as an self-published source by a subject-matter expert, but it's also WP:PRIMARY, because the author is a signatory of the Cambridge Working Group. The CIDRAP story is OK, but its focus is on the Scientists For Science. Again, at best, it's evidence for merging this tiny part into the larger whole where it fits better. The Lancet story allocates one sentence to the CWG itself and quotes founding member Marc Lipsitch once. Nothing wrong with that, but it also says nothing meaningful about the CWG as an organization. Source #8 is coauthored by Lipsitch and is WP:PRIMARY. Applying our everyday standards for when to write an article about an organization and when to discuss a small topic as part of a larger one, the available sources make it plain that the CWG doesn't need an article. Write about it at Biotechnology risk or Medical research. A dedicated, stand-alone article is simply suboptimal, and whatever deserves to be said can be rewritten from scratch. XOR'easter (talk) 02:22, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
To perhaps clarify: when I say that the sources don't detail the organization "as an organization", I mean that scientific organizations do things like hold conferences, where papers are presented that are then published as proceedings volumes or special issues of peer-reviewed journals; they get funding by securing grants; they may conduct research or re-distribute their funds to support research elsewhere. The sources presented so far have been noticeably light about any details of that sort. Instead, we get a position statement, and various quotes from people affiliated with it. That's fine in principle and could all be useful somewhere, but it's not organizational information. XOR'easter (talk) 02:32, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I may be wrong, but Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies), tells: "Examples of substantial coverage that would generally be sufficient to meet the requirement: A news article discussing a prolonged controversy regarding a corporate merger,..." [this is just an example, obviously]. There is indeed a hugely significant controversy/dispute, with regard to which views by this organization were discussed (rather than simply mentioned) in multiple 3rd party RS, such as Science, PNAS, etc. Hence my vote. My very best wishes (talk) 03:25, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Quoting WP:NORG: Sources that describe only a specific topic related to an organization should not be regarded as providing significant coverage of that organization. Therefore, for example, an article on a product recall or a biography of a CEO is a significant coverage for the Wikipedia article on the product or the CEO, but not a significant coverage on the company. That's more or less the situation we're in with this. The coverage is of the scientific/ethical controversy, not so much the CWG as an entity. What meetings did the CWG hold? Did it acquire grants as a group effort? What, beyond issuing a statement, did it do? Et cetera. XOR'easter (talk) 03:40, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Therefore, for example, an article on a product recall or a biography of a CEO is a significant coverage for the Wikipedia article on the product or the CEO, but not a significant coverage on the company". OK, but in this case the entire organization was created to advocate a specific public policy position, and the publications are focusing on this organization as advocating such position. Saying that, I agree this is a borderline notability and would not worry if this page will be deleted. My very best wishes (talk) 17:09, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I have looked at the sources, both included in the article and some mentioned above, as well as conducting a WP:BEFORE search. I see nothing that specifically brings this group notability outside any other activist group that made for a single purpose. Some are notable and some are not. The question remains, does the specific subject, the entity, receive significant coverage, not of its ideas but of the entity itself, in multiple, not numerical but those in which a wide range of view points is discussed, reliable and independent secondary sources? Nothing in the notability guideline WP:N states that a thousand mentions equal a significant coverage, in fact, it reflects the exact opposite. Mentions are not stackable nor do they build to notability. The entity fails notability. If there is an appropriate redirect or merge I would not be opposed to such action. --ARoseWolf (Talk) 20:11, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I think the material here is essentially interesting, but the article overall is problematic. The title of the group named is little enough used that the article risks falling foul of our rule against neologisms, quite apart from the high bar WP:NORG sets that I don't think the article has a chance of clearing. I think the task that faces us is to find a better home for this material. I note the article Moratorium on Research Intended To Create Novel Potential Pandemic Pathogens by Lipsitch and Inglesby coins the term Potential Pandemic Pathogens for the specific concern they have, to distiunguish the heightened concern they have compared to prior gain-of-function work. A GScholar search for that term does not yield many highly cited results, though: two clear the 50 gscholhits bar, one by Lipsitch and a coauthor, one with Nassim Nicholas Taleb and a coauthor. — Charles Stewart (talk) 12:53, 3 May 2021 (UTC) (Postscript there is RS-quality media coverage of the group under the article's name, so point about neologisms retracted. — Charles Stewart (talk) 13:28, 9 May 2021 (UTC))[reply]
  • Weak Delete - it's a notable group, with lots of coverage and even has Professor Lockdown as a member. As per editor Chalst the "Moratorium on Research To Create Potential Pandemic Pathogens" concept is even more noteable. But I'd prefer plain deletion to merging on IAR grounds: CWG is often referred to in arguments advancing the lab leak "theory". Regardless of how credible one finds the idea, theres several reasons why wikipedians might not like our platform to be used to support that position. If it was widely believed, it would inevitably result in more ill will towards innocent Chinese & Chinese looking people. Also, now the vaccines are out, biotech is supposed to the hero of the Covid story. If it was widely believed the pandemic arose from an artificially enhanced (gain of function) virus escaping from a certain lab, it might hurt not just public trust in biotech, but in science itself. And we can't have that can we? I mean, we scientists are pure as the driven snow. FeydHuxtable (talk) 13:03, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@FeydHuxtable: I am Chinese and I don’t believe that deleting this encyclopedia worthy article will save my people from malice. Most rational people understand that not all people of Chinese appearance are responsible for the Communist Party of China's actions, which could include covering up the root cause of COVID-19. To your point about the purity of scientists, George F. Gao said at the Gain of Function Symposium back in 2014, that scientists are human beings, and sometimes they want to hide things [24], which could be what is happening here.

  • Merge to Gain of function research. I looked at the first 11 sources in the article. The sources weren't in depth at all. In my opinion, not enough significant coverage to pass WP:GNG. A paragraph or two about the Cambridge Working Group could be added to the article Gain of function research. That seems like a good spot for it. –Novem Linguae (talk) 11:11, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to new section in Gain of function research, perhaps 2015 moratorium on research synthesising novel potential pandemic pathogens. I think the sources as they stand do not defeat the verifiability concerns raised by XOR'easter: we can't as it stands write an encyclopediac article on the group. The material is interesting, though, and I would prefer that we did not lose it. Having the target be to do with the moratorium would help resist the slanted coverage feared by FeydHuxtable. — Charles Stewart (talk) 13:28, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, or Merge. On the basis of the group's public impact. and the coverage in the books, it would justify a separate article, but it may be more, not less visible and useful as a. section of gain of function research--except for the usual problem, of the WP article not showing up in the Googles. I do not think that should influence us--we're making an encyclopedia, not content for Google. . In either case, it would be appropriate and necessary to include information about the opposition to the group, which will deal with the question of nPOV. .

  • Delete – I am mindful of the possible systemic bias here and would be willing to change my !vote if it is shown that WP:SIGCOV exists in Malayalam, but there is no actual claim to notability in the article, nor have I been able to find any independent coverage at all of the person or his books in reliable secondary sources per WP:GNG. The individual in question is an academic who very clearly does not meet WP:NPROF, and an author. I do not see how he would meet WP:NAUTHOR either; the "DC Books Literary Award" is not a notable award, and being nominated for that does not make an author notable. Barring any indications that WP:NAUTHOR #3 is met, it looks like it might just be too soon for an article about this person. Tachs mentions Google hits – could you give some examples of reliable sources (that is, links to the sources themselves) that you found?

This page almost certainly fails WP:ARTIST despite the claim the subject is a "fashion designer." It also fails basically WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG. The subject of this BLP has received some tabloid and other fluff coverage mainly based on their associations with famous people and presence on social media -- basically a whole lot of nothing. Most of the articles cited on the page appear to be either 1) promotional pieces designed to advance the subject's relatively obscure, and apparently now-shuttered business, or social media presence, 2) primarily talk about their relationships with famous people. He's apparently also the grandson of a genuinely noted fashion designer, which is often mentioned in any of the limited coverage.

  • Weak Keep Looking over the references on the page, 50% of the sources seem to be due to his association with Tiffany Trump (as per nominator), as many editors would say "notability is not inherited," however there seems to be enough reliable sources in which he is a large focus of them / not just mentioned in passing (NY Times, Vanity Fair for instance). Those sources label him as a fashion designer and feature him in the article, but not fully, since he is part of a social group containing people more much notable than him. For example, the first sentence of the NY Times piece talks about his job as a fashion designer mentioned, the article then jumps to others but continues to talk about him later. Same for the Vanity Fair and Dujour sources. I found another the focuses fully on his fashion show (standard.co.uk). Would he be in these publications, if he didn't have famous friends? Not sure... but there seems to be enough there with reliable sources that mention him as one of the main subjects of the article.

The Yahoo Finance piece is about FreeWill and gives good coverage, but I don't know how RS it is. IMO, fails WP:GNG and WP:CORP. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:50, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • If kept, move to FreeWill (company), and redirect this title to Free will, as is done with Freewill (despite the Rush song). BD2412 T 05:12, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I have never gone through so many references that tell me how to make a will, and that, online. This is a non-encyclopaedic article with a lot of cites to the company's website. This is really about making a will online and FreeWill - will help you - if you give to charity. Well, its time for WP:TNT, blow it up and start again. --Whiteguru (talk) 06:39, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Leaving aside the fact that this article has been WP:REFBOMBed with 36 listed references, I agree with Whiteguru above that there's very little in the article that provides in-depth information on the company. It's PR and reads like a proposal to a VC firm to raise money. Of the 36 references, the majority (12) don't even mention the company and 10 are PRIMARY and link to the company's website leaving 14 references. 4 are adverts from charities (Red Cross, DAV, Defenders of Wildlife, United Way) looking for donations and pointing to the freewill website as a service (fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND). The Town and Country reference is an inclusion of the founders in a "top 50" list and says nothing about the company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH. The OpenDataNY is simply the information the company filed with the New York State Dept of State (fails ORGIND), and the angel.co reference is a job advert by the company that includes its own description (fails ORGIND). The AARP reference is a mention-in-passing (fails CORPDEPTH). That leaves 6 references:
    • This from the NYT is really also a mention-in-passing. The article is about whether making wills is cheaper without a lawyer by using online services and they talk to several people who have used the services, two of which simply mentioned that they'd used this company. There's also a quote from the founder. This reference doesn't have sufficient in-depth information on the company nor have any independent opinion, fails CORPDEPTH and ORGIND
    • This from USNews is a list of various services for online wills but which has insufficient in-depth information and insufficient independent opinion on the company, fails ORGIND and CORPDEPTH.
    • The Forbes reference is from Forbes staff on the "sites" portion of the website. Leaving that aside, it relies entirely on an interview with the founders and information provided by the company with zero independent opinion/analysis/etc from the journalist, fails ORGIND
    • This Yahoo reference is a promotional piece from when the company was starting out where the founders/company discuss their objectives and competition. Fails ORGIND for the same reasons as above.
    • This Reuters reference is a mention-in-passing and relies on a quotation from the founder and information provided by the company, fails ORGIND for the same reasons as above
    • This from Philanthropy is a podcast where the founder was interviewed with no Independent Content, fails ORGIND.
Despite the volume of references, the simply demonstrate the effect of an echo chamber and PR. Not a single reference contains "Independent Content" as per ORGIND nor meets the criteria for establishing notability. Topic fails GNG/NCORP. HighKing++ 13:52, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The above criticisms are strange. Town & Country (magazine) "is the oldest continually published general interest magazine in the United States." It evaluated (as used in WP:CORPDEPTH) that FreeWill was significant enough all by itself to put its founders among the top 50 philanthropists of 2019:
  • "Grand Plan They founded FreeWill, a free online estate planning tool that encourages users to leave money to charity.
  • Making Headlines FreeWill has earned $404 million in nonprofit commitments."
so it's quite wrong to say that T&C "says nothing about the company". The company is the reason for being on the top 50 list. The Sullivan NYT article evaluates FreeWill by (a) including it in the article, (b) citing that a fundraiser for a national animal welfare organization chose FreeWill for her orgaization over its competitors, and (c) quoting lawyers on its limitations. News stories in papers like NYT use quotes, not their own voice, to give "overview, description, commentary, ..., discussion," (as used in WP:CORPDEPTH). This is also clearly independent coverage (WP:ORGIND). The article has lesser coverage of Rocket Lawyer and LegalZoom which have their own WP articles. The Reuters article similarly compares FreeWill to using a lawyer, and evaluates it fairly negatively: "Keep in mind that these are very generic forms and may not suit your specific needs, especially for complicated estates and guardianship issues." The USN&WR article is explicitly a review and comparison to other products, all of which are evaluated as "The Best Online Will Making Programs". Compare this level of notability to the vast number of businesses which no independent source has ever thought were the best at anything, and whose WP articles have few or no independent evaluations, such as Florida National Bank, Broad and Cassel, The Palm Beach Post, Sarasota Herald-Tribune, or even Pulitzer Prize-winning papers: Palestine Herald-Press and Ames Tribune. The WP article on FreeWill is not PR, and no doubt has material the company would prefer to drop. The WP article repeats the critiques made by those independent sources, and situates the company in its competitive landscape and in issues of privacy and dispute resolution. I have no relation to the company, but recognize its significance in the field and believe an encyclopedia needs to cover it. Numbersinstitute (talk) 01:55, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
    1. Wilson, Alexandra (2020-03-13). "The Will To Give: This End-Of-Life Platform Is Facilitating $1.1 Billion In Charitable Donations". Forbes. Archived from the original on 2021-02-01. Retrieved 2021-02-01.

      The article is from a Forbes staff member. It has quotations from people affiliated with the company. But it also has independently researched content: "Though FreeWill does not require individuals to make charitable donations in their wills, it does experiment in methods to increase charitable giving. At the moment, roughly 19% do elect to include donations, with the average user donating around $111,000. The American Red Cross has received the most donations, with organizations like the United Way, Defenders of Wildlife and Disabled American Veterans garnering significant contributions. The New York-based company, which now has 50 full-time employees, derives its revenue entirely from selling subscriptions to non-profits. Over 300 charities pay FreeWill to create customized donation pages and deliver data that gives them insights into the type of people that are electing to donate."

    2. Guzman, Zack (2018-10-16). "This startup lets you write a will for free by donating to charity". Yahoo! News. Archived from the original on 2021-02-01. Retrieved 2021-02-01.

      The article has quotations from people affiliated with the company. But it also has independently researched content: "But a new startup founded by two Stanford Graduate School of Business grads is working to reframe the thinking around end-of-life planning from something morose and depressing into something uplifting by bringing charitable donations to the forefront and removing financial burdens. The aptly named FreeWill lets users draft a will for free and instead charges participating nonprofits an annual subscription fee, ranging from a few thousand dollars to over $50,000 depending on the size of the organization. FreeWill works with more than 70 nonprofits, including the American Red Cross and United Way, which hope to gain from users’ donations."

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

      • This is not a discussion page and no decision has been made. We are attempting to determine, using reliability criteria, whether it is or is not notable. I suspect that you knew that though. The review from Kirkus did not appear in my search, and I'm not sure if it's enough to help us determine if it should be kept. If you find more, that would help turn the tide. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:47, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please be WP:CIVIL, IP. Notability can only be established by way of indepth coverage in independent, secondary reliable sources. The existence of other articles is a moot point because whether or not they are notable does not have any bearing on this film. If they are notable then they will be kept, but if they are not then pointing them out only raises the likelihood that they will be in turn nominated for deletion.
As far as whether or not Wolf did due diligence, assume that he has. Unless there is very obvious evidence that someone didn't search, you should assume that they've looked for sourcing. Even then you should assume WP:GOODFAITH because there are a wide variety of things that can impact sourcing such as location, search engine, and search terms. That's why multiple people weigh in here, as the more people who search the more likely that any potential sourcing will be found. As far as potential for sourcing goes, the article can only be kept if there is enough evidence to establish that there was substantial coverage for the film.

Due to multiple requests not to clog up AFD with dozens of non-notable VA place stubs, I've been PRODding almost all of the ones I come across in that bunch that just aren't notable. But this is is going to AFD because I frankly cannot identify what in the world this is/was. GNIS entry is sourced to a county highway map, so it's not surprising this place doesn't show up on the topos. In fact, there's almost nothing on topographic maps at this site. Newspapers.com brings up a couple references to a "Tilman House", but the described location of the Tilman House does not fit the location of this site. Google and Google books don't bring up anything really meaningful, even when searching in county histories. There were some Tillmans in Albemarle County in olden times, but I can't find evidence of a WP:GEOLAND-passing community here. I just don't see any way this one is notable.

Papal oath (traditionalist Catholic) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No source talks about the subject directly apart from one primary traditionalist Catholic source clearly mentionned (The Great Facade: Vatican II and the Regime of Novelty in the Roman Catholic Church, by Christopher A. Ferrara and Thomas A. Woods, pages 161-162) in which the hypothetical oath is presented. Sources are mostly primary sources, a few are secondary, but none apart from Ferrara and Woods mention the subject of the article, not even indirectly, i.e. a legend or story of a papal oath during the coronation of each pope. This article reads more like a blog post. The previous deletion proposal is very difficult to follow, and it seems the subject in this 2007 proposal was less the deletion, and more a page move.

OK, so I revise my comment, but the gist still holds: doesn't meet WP:GNG for topic. No article possible. Elizium23 (talk) 07:48, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. This article seems to ramble away from its topic, with four footnotes being used to discuss the condemnation of Pope Honorius I, who is not mentioned by name in the oath. Nothing in the article clearly indicates when and where the legend of the papal oath originated, and why the originators did not consult the written sources that describe the coronation ceremony, or for that matter the recordings of the last three papal coronations. (Pope Pius XII's coronation was broadcast on radio, as were the coronations of Popes John XXIII and Paul VI, and the latter two were also filmed for television broadcast.) I wonder if the oath in its "current" form, and the legend associated therewith, may have been created in the 1960s or later. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:37, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment According to EWTN, the "Papal Oath" was "highly unlikely.. ever used at all in papal coronations and certainly not from the sixth to the 20th centuries given that the earliest recorded papal coronation ceremony is that of Pope Celestine II in 1143". [27] Doesn't seem to be significant, if even an accurate procedure of the Church. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 23:48, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep.This article is confusing and not well written but it is attempting to set out the main authoritative points of view about a fringe theory. People will come across this alleged oath online and turn to Wikipedia to find out about it. This article leads them through the reasons why the alleged oath is not, if it existed at all, what it is made out to be in some contemporary sites. It also describes other oaths that popes actually were required to take. It might be bette4 with a title like “Papal oath controversy” or something. Mccapra (talk) 12:12, 23 January 2021 (UTC) [reply]

I’ll just add that if you Google “papal oath” you can see that there is in fact a claim by some traditional Catholics that the oath existed in the form described in the article, and was abandoned by modernists. Mccapra (talk) 12:16, 23 January 2021 (UTC) ok I’m giving up in this one now based on the arguments others have made. Mccapra (talk) 03:56, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Mccapra: You wrote: "People will come across this alleged oath online and turn to Wikipedia to find out about it. This article leads them through the reasons why the alleged oath is not, if it existed at all, what it is made out to be in some contemporary sites." However, the whole article is OR of primary sources, or of secondary sources which never talk about the alledged oath; how, then, do we know if this oath existed or not, since no secondary sources deal with the subject of the article? People will turn to WP and will find the equivalent of a blog post, not a reliable article. Veverve (talk) 20:24, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Management company of Comiso Airport is not independently notable from the airport itself. MrsSnoozyTurtle (talk) 02:12, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that the company has a section on the airport site and not a separate site does not mean anything, also because the data is essential. See: Business name: SO.A.CO. S.p.A. – Società dell'aeroporto di Comiso Registered office: Piazza Fonte Diana s.n. – 97013 Comiso (RG) VAT identification number: 01083290880 Share capital: 4.200.000 euro (in the article it says)

The airport is a state property, the company that manages (Airport operator) it is another thing, but this is so obvious that i think you are confused with other articles. As you can see from the logo in this PDF, SOACO is one thing (stazione appaltante or contracting authority), the airport is another thing:https://aeroportodicomiso.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Avviso_a_manifestare_interesse_1.pdf --Pasionpalau (talk) 05:43, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Here's WP:EVENTCRIT, para 4: Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.

  • Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. To be notable enough for inclusion here, he would have to show either (a) that he had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him into Wikipedia regardless of whether he won or lost the election, or (b) that his candidacy could be credibly claimed as much, much more significant than most other people's candidacies, by virtue of having received much, much more coverate than most other candidates got.

  • Comment. Very borderline. Her main claim to fame, I think, is her supporting role (wife of one of two main characters) in Sami swoi, which is part of a cult trilogy and most people in Poland recognize it, and through it, her. I don't think any of her other roles are particularly memorable (I couldn't find that she played a first role in anything aside pl:Prognoza pogody (film) one minor movie). She has an entry in [28], which seems reliable (as in, it is maintained by a respected university, and does not cite Wikipedia as a source...). Entry in [29] but that one may be more like a Polish IMDb. I can't find any discussion of her roles etc. in GBooks/Scholar aside of few mentions in passing (when the movies she played in are mention with cast listings). A few years ago Polish taboid reported that she was involved with the secret police and was imprisoned ([30]). If there is anything else it is not digitized. PS. The nominator incorrectly claims the article has no sources. It is undersourced, but it has some sources. Please don't make such misleading comments.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:21, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: It may be borderline but this is not a BLP. From the article, it appears her dealings with the secret service and later imprisonment probably led to considerable coverage in the Polish press at the time. If we keep the article, it could well be improved by those fluent in Polish.--Ipigott (talk) 12:27, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Ipigott's reasoning. She is illustrative and emblematic of a period in Poland's history, besides per Piotrus being widely recognised in Poland. The strong probability is that additional sources exist; and if not contemporaneous press coverage of her imprisonment, then in histories of the period and of theatre in the period. Wikipedia is not well served by the removal of her article. --Tagishsimon (talk) 10:52, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Ipigott and Tagishsimon. It is hard to assess the sources for a Polish subject whose life long pre-dates the internet, and lack of them in the article does not preclude notability. What is there now appears adequately sourced. I agree with Tagishsimon that "Wikipedia is not well served by the removal of her article." Espresso Addict (talk) 11:37, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I would like to save this article, but we need more than wishful thinking along the lines of WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES. I looked and couldn't find any better sources. She played in one cult film trilogy as a supporting character, and that was probably the highlight of her career. Is this enough? I struggle with seeing how she meets NCREATIVE, at the same time I do concur that the entry is more helpful than harmful. She should be notable, given her age, but is she? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:40, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to see any of the of the "Keep" responses try to explain their view in light of the actual WP:ENTERTAINER criteria. I do see the argument that, on balance, this article may not be detracting from Wikipedia's overall goal, as it is not something problematic like a promo article for a company trying to pad their search rankings. But, I do not see how it meets the established criteria. I'm willing to even defer to WP:IGNORE arguments, especially in the light of the fact that any WP:RS sources that may be out there are likely to be in Polish, so improving this article may be very difficult for an average Anglophone editor, but if that's our argument, let's be transparent about it. Melmann 14:37, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In answer to your comment Melmann, and with due deference to Piotrus, I would point out that it is highly unlikely that all the newspapers and magazines of the period have been digitized for access over the internet. It's hardly worthwhile but if this were really important we could call on librarians to look into it and would no doubt find some interesting responses. The very fact that this phototek article provides such rich coverage of her film and tv career is evidence of her notability for Polish speakers. Let's forget about the constraints of entertainment and simply keep her article alive on the basis of general notability.--Ipigott (talk) 15:57, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ipigott, Indeed, you are correct. Polish literary corpus is poorly digitized, so there may be sources. The issue is we cannot assume they exist just because they might. That said, I am also fine with WP:IAR here, as the odds are there is something out there, and the subject seems to me encyclopedic based on her one major role and enduring public recognition of it, even if said recognition is poorly sourcable.

  • Keep If she "should be notable" according to Piotrus and is notable according to most others here then, if she does not meet our notability guidelines, the guidelines are in this case defective. The notability guidelines tell us they have occasional exceptions and to believe their criteria are infallible is to go against this aspect.

@Geschichte: There are thousand and thousand former villages in Estonia. Do we really want this superclutter for enwiki? If we want, then in general, there are extremely hard to find more info than 1-2 sentences per the former village.

Most coverage I've been able to find online was only in relation to East Coast Coalition for Tolerance and Non-Discrimination, which he heads, and by NYU (which he is affiliated with) or nominal mentions on event pages. Seems like a clear case of WP:BIO1E. BriefEdits (talk) 00:26, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article doesn't warrent deletion based on WP:BIO1E because the figure, as demonstated in the current version, is not being notable only for a single event. Yes, he's been leading this organizationEast Coast Coalition for Tolerance and Non-Discrimination, but his works are notable in mutiple fields. There are many figures on Wikipedia who only worked on/for one entity, but their mutitudes of work make their artcle appropriate. For this particular figure, his works are notable in 1/ promoting equitable health care access for minorities (and won funding from the Clinton Foundation) 2/ organized and led efforts to combat racism amid COVID; 3/ testifiedd before New York State legislators to advocate for greater diversity for minorities in public schools and so on.

WP:BLP of a lawyer and academic, not properly sourced as passing our notability standards for lawyers or academics. The notability claim here is that he was lead counsel in a case that is "expected" to reach the Supreme Court -- except that according to the case's article, that's still purely unconfirmed speculation and not established fact. And as for the footnotes, four of them are his own primary sources "staff" profiles on the self-published websites of his own employers or organizations he's directly affiliated with, which are not support for notability, and two are from university student newspapers, which would be fine for sparing use for verification of stray facts if he had already cleared WP:GNG on stronger sources but do not count toward the initial question of whether he's cleared GNG or not. There's only one footnote here that comes from a real general-market media outlet, and even that isn't so much about him as it passingly mentions him in the process of being about the case -- so it's not enough to singlehandedly get him over GNG all by itself either if it's the strongest source on offer. Staff profiles and university student media are not how you reference a person as notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 19:31, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Advocacy organizations aren't media, so interviews on their own self-published websites aren't notability builders. Chicago Business is a short blurb in a listicle, so it would be fine for additional verification of facts if the rest of the sourcing were better, but is not in and of itself a notability-clinching source if it's basically the best source there is. As I already noted in my nomination statement, student newspapers don't help to build GNG at all, and the NYT article just namechecks Mortara's existence in the process of not being about Mortara. So no, none of these sources are enough to establish notability, barely or otherwise. Bearcat (talk) 15:16, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, mostly per WP:NOTINHERITED. Arguing a notable case is not the same thing as being notable yourself. And the only other source of notability we have is one of those spammy "here is the latest set of young business people whose publicists want us to publicize them" 13-under-13 (or whatever) listicles. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:30, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I tend to agree with the WP:NOTINHERITED line of thought in this instance, and listicles aren't a great foundation for a biography either. XOR'easter (talk) 06:54, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete. Per WP:NOTINHERITED, Mortara falls far short of Wikipedia's notability standards. He is involved with one instance of notable litigation, but the articles about the litigation do not talk about him in any detail.
I am also concerned about the possibilities for a COI regarding this page; the creator of the page seems to be connected to the law school where Mortara teaches. LongtimeLurkerNewEditor08 (talk) 20:50, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, this template should be deleted because what do you want to inform with a sentence "however there are not enough verifiable sources on it, or it is a finished article." for an article indicated as a stub, where a stub means an obviously short but usable article? There may be very short and at the same time comprehensive article, but let's not confuse "you can't expand it" with "I don't know how to expand it". In addition, the template is unused--Ḥdiddān 16:08, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • User:Zoglophie The point is take part in Big Tournaments.That is also great result. The Tournamnets aren't easy to get join.The Player should get raking number and point for Tournamnets. For example: "European Championship" Sabuhi Huseynov entried 4 Times.For Azerbaijan. İf player doesn't have any good raking before 3-6 months European Championship, he can't take part in European Championship. In general, as a prize-winner of the national championship, he meets the accepted rules.Thanks for everything,İ hope all of us can edit Sabuhi Huseynov for Azerbaijani badminton player Sabuhi.

  • The question around criteria 5 (Gold medalist at a national teams or singles/doubles championship, for countries that regularly send athletes to the Olympics.) is does "regularly" refer to an Olympic badminton team OR any Olympic team? If the former, then Azerbaijan might not quality; it looks like 2020 would be the first Olympic Games with an Azerbaijani badminton team. If the later, then it would meet the criteria.
