GNG fail. Article sourced by many event announcements and not enough in-depth RS. It's worth noting that it is the product of a blocked paid editor. We can convert COI puffed-up articles into good articles where the subject is notable; in this case they do not appear to be. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 23:20, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, what a wonderful artist! Her art is so evocative, i especially like Dark Iris and Paphiopedilum (and this book cover looks great), but she doesn't appear to meet WP:CREATIVE ie. wikisignificant/notable exhibitions/reviews, represented in wikinotable galleries/museums, so although some of the article's references look okay, they are not enough so a delete. Coolabahapple (talk) 11:07, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Her artwork is very interesting but the level of notoriety does not seem sufficient to sustain a Wiki article. Cosmic Sans (talk) 15:11, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment She doesn't have to meet WP:NARTIST, she could meet WP:GNG or WP:BASIC. I have added a few sources and some info/quotes from them. In terms of reliable, independent, secondary sources, we now have The Missoulian (a report of a one day workshop Steele gave in Montana, so SIGCOV); Detroit Free Press; Philadelphia Inquirer (also SIGCOV); St. Louis Post-Dispatch; The Washington Post (that is short, but given that its review of calendars said hers has "paintings of the flower as a sex object", I think it may well have contributed to her notability in the 1980s!); and the Standard-Examiner, Utah. I don't think Artist Magazine is a reliable, independent source (it seems to be the work of one woman). What about Watercolor magazine, which is currently source 3? That looks like it could be SIGCOV, but I don't know anything about the magazine. I haven't found her in any permanent collections yet, but without clues about any galleries or museums which might hold her work (if any do), it's a bit hit and miss searching for any. RebeccaGreen (talk) 19:38, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Kudos on your additions to the article. I think this is is one of those cases where GNG might be met, if one stretches things a bit. There are some local reviews and some other sources that might make it. On the other hand, which is the hand I !voted with, there is nothing here (a colleciton, a serious award, a shows in major institutions etc) to clearly push my opinion to keep. If we accept this kind of article, we will be publishing many more articles on run-of-the-mill watercolourists; the standard needs to be higher than BASIC here. The fact that she publishes calendars is not that notable: I could start doing that tomorrow. Her own book is used as a named ref three or four times. I very much doubt you will find her in any collections, as she is just a good watercolourist, as opposed to an innovative painter. But that's opinion. Perhaps the greatest evidence that there is not enough here is that you are not !voting keep. If RebeccaGreen cannot find convincing sources, who can?

This simply isn't true. Neither have short paragraphs - both contain about 30 sentences and 550 to 600 words. Lengths isn't a criteria in itself, but these aren't brief 3-paragraph articles with 6 sentences in total. Both articles are entirely about Keigo Moriyasu. Both are significant coverage. The claim that there's nothing but just brief mentions and game reports is absolutely false. Nfitz (talk) 05:17, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
User:Levivich Can you clarify why you are arguing that these 550 to 600 30-sentance articles are too short, when at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Callum McCowatt (2nd nomination) you have sinced used 200 to 300 word 10-14 sentence articles as proof of GNG? Nfitz (talk) 15:43, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. I said have only a few short paragraphs about the player. The Nikkan article has 175 words about the player (Google translate):

Moriho's second son, Ryo Sato (25), who played in the Philippines First Division League JPV Marikina FC last season ... Played overseas after graduation from the university, with the father's teaching of "Enjoying anything" ... currently participating in a practice in a German club. ... Born in Hiroshima, soccer was close. "I think I like the best football among my (3) brothers." In high school, he belongs to Hiroshima Youth, and has been an official game since 1 year at a high-traffic distribution college. He demonstrated aggressive ability with a high degree of kick accuracy and agility. I aimed to be in the J club, but damaged the ligament of the left ankle in the 3-year All Japan University Championship Final. For about six months, I ended my college life without feeling well as I left the battle, and my dream on graduation was broken. ... began his career as a soccer player in Australia ... 17 goals in the first year and 9 goals in the second year. Despite blossoming scoring, he left Australia for visa reasons.

The Hochi News article has 135 words about the player (Google translate):

JPV Marikina FC midfielder Satoru Satoru (24) has been playing since this season in the Philippines League ... Joined Edgeworth Eagles of Australia in January this year ... Active as a team heart, recording 11 points and 9 assists while voluntarily ... Moriho was born on September 22, 1993 as the second son of Japanese representative Morihoichi (50). Graduated from Hiroshima Youth to Distribution Economics University. As a side and aggressive midfielder, he entered the All Nippon University selection at the time of three years. After graduating, he worked for two years at Edgeworth Eagles, a semi-pro club in Australia ... After practice, Moriho has ambitions such as training to stay in the middle of the trunk, but Filipino players will soon return home, and it is a reality that they are less conscious of working on the practice.

The rest is about the team, the league, and his father, or is a quote from the player, usually about his father, or something like "I will try my best to be able to win in the cup game" and "I enjoy soccer". Compare that with the sources for Callum McCowatt like [3] (700 words) and [4] (600 words). Those aren't really the most in-depth articles I've ever seen, but there are like half a dozen articles about McCowatt, each 500 words or more with independent journalistic reporting (e.g., statements of fact in the publication's own voice, quotes from other people about the player), which made me !vote keep. Because we don't have that here for Moriyasu, I !voted delete. Levivich 18:09, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You explicitly said that [5] and [6] met GNG, despite being 200 to 300 word 10-14 sentence articles. They are less detailed than the Japanese sources you reject here. Don't point to other sources ... I'm asking about these. Why are those two English sources good, when the Japanese ones aren't? Nfitz (talk) 00:07, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That’s not accurate–I posted six sources for McCowatt, not two–and this page is for discussing Moriyasu’s notability, not McCowatt’s (and it’s not for discussing Levivich’s AfD !votes, either). Levivich 14:51, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You explicitly stated that those two sources were good for GNG. Even the other 4 are no longer than these, which are entirely about Moriyasu, despite your attempt to spin it otherwise. Moriyasu’s notability has been clearly established. Nfitz (talk) 15:40, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I never said in the McCowatt AfD that those two sources, alone, meet GNG; I said that six sources, together, suggest GNG is met. You're arguing that the two worst sources I put forward for McCowatt are about the same as the two best sources you put forward for this AfD–I agree and that's why I !voted keep over there and delete over here. If you have any other questions about my !votes, please use my user talk page. Levivich 15:51, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I completely disagree with you. In particular your assertion that the paragraphs in these two paragraphs are too short. They are 5-6 sentence paragaphs, with 600 or so words in 30 or so sentences! That's no worse than the best source at McCowatt - let alone the worst source over there. These are both excellent GNG sources! You are inventing policy! Nfitz (talk) 16:22, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm saying the Nikkan article has 175 words about the player, and the Hochi News article has 135, and I cut-and-pasted those words above (about half of which are quotes from the subject and thus shouldn't really count as "independent")... if you're saying there's more than that, consider cut-and-pasting the additional words here. Levivich 16:47, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are wrong in your count, and are dismissing the bulk of the article, which is also about the player. in my opinion GNG is met with this SIGCOV. Nfitz (talk) 19:04, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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

This article appears to be, at best, a vanity project for a minor, non-notable actor. This article fails miserably to meet even the minimal standards of WP:N as defined in Wikipedia:The GNG and notability for actors or even [[WP:Notability (people}]]. To wit, the three criteria laid out above were not met in any way; there are no significant roles in notable films or television series; the actress/actor has no cult following, and has made neither unique nor common contributions to the medium of acting. Furthermore, the majority of the sources used in the article are dubious or deficient, mostly pulling from the non-verifiable IMDB, which is the equivalent of citing another Wikipedia article and does not rise to the standard laid out in WP:RS. I recommend that this article be deleted, a recommendation that I do not make lightly but feel forced to make as this article has been up here for over 1.5 to 2 years without being significantly improved and my own attempts at finding additional verification of notability or additional sources to strengthen this article have been politely rebuffed by reality.

  • Delete The one semi-reliable source does not propel this subject to notability. That said, we have lots of biographical articles on actors and actresses at present where the only source at all is IMDb. There is a huge field open to either nominate those articles for deletion or find some source other than IMDb. Wikipedia should not be an IMDB mirror, but we have far too many articles that seem to have been directly copied from that site.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:52, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly concur, User:Johnpacklambert!! It’s glad to see that some of us can see sense on this topic without being colored by too much emotion. It is clear that this, like many articles. Was built siolely on the spine of an IMDB reference and then only hastily had sources submitted in a good faith but misaimed attempt to cover up the lack of WP:Notability with an over abundance of WP:RS. That’s not how it works though — a topic must have both notability and reliable, verifiable content — not one or the other... Michepman (talk)
Then you misunderstand our notability guidelines. They are there precisely to ensure that a reliable, verifiable, article can be written. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:57, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep Has anyone reading this bothered to do a proper WP:BEFORE search (see B.2. and D in that guide)? In just two minutes on newspapers.com I've come up with several good sources on her, which I am going to add to the article now. --Krelnik (talk) 13:21, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
ETA: Have now updated article such that it includes 8 references from several decades, including several profiles entirely about the subject. Most of the articles include photos. I am updating my vote to SPEEDY KEEP because the nominator's argument about notability is clearly not correct. (Please, please, please do in-depth WP:BEFORE searches before nominating, and not just on Google. It saves lots of stress. If you don't have accounts on 'deep web' sites like newspapers.com, please see The Wikipedia Library which will provide you one). --Krelnik (talk) 15:16, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Thank you User:Krelnik for reaching out to me as well for doing the hard work of collating and improving this article! I really appreciate your help! In addition, when it comes to the deletion criteria, I took a look and I agree that it meets the standard for notability referenced above. Specifically, she has had "significant roles in notable films or television series", in particular Look Up And Live and Days Of Our Lives. I am not sure if that is enough though -- does the actress have to meet ALL three of the requirements (significant roles in notable TV/films; a cult following; and unique contributions to the film industry as a whole) or is it enough that she meets just one of them? Alicb (talk) 17:25, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Nominator comment It’s interesting that all these folks are suddenly popping out of the woodwork to save this article now after it was left in a largely unsourced rumor filled mess for over a year... I wonder what prompted this? Anyway, I commend the user above for adding additional reliable sources. However, these sources fail to directly address the critical issues I laid above — namely the fact that Mr/Mrs Gatteys, is not a notable actor under the applicable wikipedia guidelines referenced above. While she has had the occasional bit part in an old TV sitcom, and has apparently appeared as a contestant in a Game show, this does not rise to the general notability guideline nor therefore the notability guideline specifically crafted for television and film performers. Not every extra who appears on an ep of the Outer Limits is automatically notable, nor too is every game show contestant with trifling winnings. I have done an extensive search through the primary sources provided and they singularly fail to meet our guidelines, which would be apparent to anyone who reviewed them in any detail before submitting. Michepman (talk) 17:39, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Re: "popping out of the woodwork". What prompted this is the fact that the article has been nominated for deletion. You do realize that the AFD process is designed to send alerts out in various forms to various interested parties, so they can come comment on the nomination, right? Nothing more sinister than that.
As I said, I disagree with your assessment of notability. She clearly meets WP:GNG and she also meets WP:ENT via item 1. I frankly had never heard of this person before today, but I noticed the deletion notice on one of the article alerts that I monitor, and as I said I was able to very quickly determine that the article was worth saving, and add the necessary sources. All told it took just over an hour on newspaper.com to fix the article - exactly what WP:BEFORE recommends nominators do first. --Krelnik (talk) 19:40, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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

Per WP:PERP. The article has been around for 10 years with almost no sources. I am unable to find any reliable independent secondary sources about Dalglish unrelated to his recent child molestation conviction (aside from this passing mention by CBC). Dalglish isn't a renowned figure and, sadly, his crime isn't unusual in motivation or execution (see WP:PERP). R2 (bleep) 22:32, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I found several sources that cover his aid work (prior to the conviction); it was just a quick search but all 3 seem to have quite a bit of content on him: book;[1] another book;[2] another book;[3] plus Order of Canada[4] (I don't know if Order of Canada is a significant award, just throwing it in because it came up on search). A number of other books in the humanitarian field don't have coverage of him but do mention/credit/thank him, so it seems like he is renowned in that field. Schazjmd (talk) 22:52, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Schazjmd, thanks for the sources, but I have no way to verify that the books include significant coverage of Dalglish (or to use them to improve the article). Would you mind quoting the relevant passages for each? The Order of Canada source is just the announcement that the CBC source was based on. Just a passing reference.

The result was speedy delete as a blatant biographical hoax. In stark contrast to the article, the source cited by the article does not claim that this person is an MLA, and gives the name as Sunil Kumar. It claims that Sunil Kumar is an MLC in Uttar Pradesh. There is indeed a Sunil Kumar listed on the UPVP WWW site, number 22 in the SP section. Uncle G (talk) 12:46, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. No reliable sources confirm that Sunil Kumar the MLA is the same person as Sunil "Butolia" — and the article was created by a user named "Sunilbutolia", as his second attempt at creating an article about himself following a 2018 version which claimed that he was notable for "creating new and editing old articles on Wikipedia" behind a redirect to online advertising in an apparent attempt to boost his SEO stats. In other words, this is much more likely to be another bullshit attempt to recreate an article about himself by making false claims of notability derived from another person than it is the real backstory of the real Sunil Kumar. So no prejudice against the creation of a new article about the real Sunil Kumar — but just moving this to Sunil Kumar (politician) isn't the answer, as that would imbue the real person with a bad/fake edit history.

Dab with one valid entry (or arguably zero valid entries as all being WP:PTM) 1. primary topic Brexit negotiations#The "no deal" scenario where the redirects No deal Brexit, No-deal Brexit target (there's no lowercase no deal). Two other (sub) entries but all the same topic. Dab title is malformed as titlecase, with 1 valid entry, and linking to the other entries is at the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC target either as normal links, or hatnote see also. Suggest deletion (readers inputting "no deal" aren't even obviously wanting the Brexit topic, they may desire the general concept so search is preferred with only WP:PTM).

It would be fine to just redirect to the same place as No deal Brexit. The title may seem malformed but it is a common spelling. —ajf (talk) 20:37, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, right, that's how I originally created it, as such a redirect. So obviously I have my bias here. :) —ajf (talk) 20:39, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:AGF / WP:CIVIL ignored. Normal day in the office for me - routine cleanup of dabs - check my history. This dab is bad in pretty much every way, and should be deleted. It actually misleads readers who are after "no deal Brexit" into thinking there's three topics, rather than giving those readers what they want, which is the primary topic. Why on earth readers would be typing "No Deal" (titlecase) when they want Brexit is beyond me, can you explain. It's a dab with title issue, and no valid entries. Widefox; talk 21:14, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (and move to No deal, with the capitalized version redirecting there). There are at least two significant meanings, one being the concept of a no-deal Brexit, and the other being "No deal" as an aspect of gameplay in Deal or No Deal. Although it is not specifically a title match, it does meet WP:DABMENTION. bd2412 T 02:33, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can't tell This gets more unclear the longer I look at it. On the plus side:
On the minus side:
  • Isn't this just a table variant of all the material already presented at Davis Cup#Records and statistics? (as in, literally the entire section) Seems needlessly duplicative - either have one whopping table with all the info, or separate sub-sections that summarize parts. This would suggest either replacing the section content with the table, or deleting the table as surplus to requirements.
It clearly isn't just a variant. It contains ALL participants and ALL tiers of competition, not just the world group related stuff like it's mostly the case with DC article.Setenzatsu (talk) 13:25, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sourcing is decidedly insufficient. This is like citing a description of the climate of Hoboken to usgs.gov - the data are presumably in there somewhere but it's of no eartly use to the reader. But that could presumably be spruced up.
Then you have a problem with most of the national DC team articles. They (most of them) have team page at DC's official website listed, and not even as a reference but as an external link. So I would be right if I were to go and delete every DC national team article because it references nothing and directly breaches several wiki policies. I could even call out WP:OR. (90% of wiki admins don't understand the meaning of "original" but that's for another discussion). So those really don't follow rules but I don't see anybody AfD them.

  • Keep You could definitely look at it like a stats article but it's a more comprehensive, detailed LIST like a Lists of 100 best books or List of films with LGBT characters. It contains every country that ever participated, every country that ever appeared in the WG, every now dissolved participants and some additional information that are a starting point. For example, if you are to look for information on which countries played 200+ matches how much time it would took to look for that? You have lists inside a list. Of course you could always look at it like a stats article (which list is by definition) but as it contains every participant ever, summarizes information in one place that is otherwise scattered it could serve as a reference point or a starting point of DC universe. Sure, you could separate it into sub-sections that summarize parts but you would increase bytes, wouldn't change the nature of the article and would loose cohesiveness. It's not like this table contains some ludicrous categories (column headers) - it's all standard basic information to give overall information and it's mostly contained in info boxes of each team's article.

  • Merge with Davis Cup. To be specific, clean up the table a bit and stick it in the Davis Cup records and statistics section. Stat articles are kind of a grey area, but after some digging around I don't see this meeting the list sourcing and stand-alone notability needed to be its own separate article. See also: WP:OSE.

Résumé-toned WP:BLP of a writer and activist, whose claims of notability are not reliably sourced. The footnotes here are entirely to primary sources, such as pieces of her own writing being used to metaverify its own existence, audio clips of her speaking in podcasts, and a press release announcing a speaking engagement, with not even one source representing any sort of reliable source coverage. You do not make a writer notable by citing her writing to itself as verification that it exists; you make a writer notable by citing her writing to other people producing media coverage about her writing, such as news articles about her, critical analysis of the writing in book reviews, and on and so forth — and you don't make a person notable as a public speaker by referencing it to audio or video clips of her speeches, you make a person notable as a public speaker by referencing it to journalism being done by other people about her speeches. People are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their work verifies its own existence: people earn Wikipedia articles by becoming the subject of media coverage.

Per WP:SALAT, "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value". Many, many movies have post-credit scenes (see [7]) and it is not a defining trait of a movie, so maintaining an incomplete list of post-credit scenes is not useful. Films with post-credits scenes that are particularly groundbreaking can be mentioned at post-credits scene, whilst most post-credits scenes just belong at the article for the film itself.

  • don't delete I've read this thread, and know Nick Selby, and I am surprised that the book "In Context" is being challenged. As a criminal justice professor, I was impressed enough with the book that I gave a quote supporting its methodology, and co-authored an article with Selby on the subject in the Washington Post, and worked with him on a podcast about policing. As to, "paltry," nine citations of a mainstream book by serious academics in peer-reviewed literature is nothing to sneeze at, and the underlying data is available freely [8]).

  • In Context was self-published, and is distributed by Calibre Press[1], a legitimate publisher and distributor. The book was taken seriously by academics in the field; In Context has been cited in at least nine peer-reviewed academic journal articles and Google Scholar shows 11 academic citations[2]. The book was reviewed in PoliceOne[3], which has more than two million monthly visitors and more than 650,000 registered members[4]. Selby was the subject of a feature-length interview by David J. Krajacik for The Crime Report[5], published by the Center on Media, Crime and Justice at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. The links to conferences spoke to Selby's expertise in information security, as evidenced by his speaking at, for example, the RSA Conference 2019, the largest cyber security conference in the world.

[4] [5] [6] [7] [8]Arasita (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

The issue is not whether you consider the number paltry. It was stated the book was invalid because it was self-published. Now it is stated that it is an "academic book" but that it's not cited enough. The question is whether the book was legitimate; its inclusion in more than one serious academic study says the book is legitimate. Also, it is not an academic book, it is a mainstream book that is cited in academic literature. --Arasita (talk) 12:16, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the question is not whether the book is 'valid' or 'legitimate' since those are not standards that exist in any of Wikipedia's policies. The question is simply 'does the subject of this article meet one or more of our notability guidelines'? I argue that he does not meet the WP:GNGs as there is a lack of coverage in independent, reliable sources, and no one has yet unearthed anything to change my mind. An obvious alternative might be to ask if he meets WP:NAUTHOR in which case we would presumably want to establish whether Mr Selby is 'widely cited by peers'. This is why E.M.Gregory has questioned the number of citations. Hugsyrup (talk) 12:34, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a writer, not properly referenced as clearing WP:AUTHOR. The only references here are a Who's Who directory entry (a type of sourcing which has been long-deprecated as not an instant notability freebie all by itself, because it's too easily gamed by the kind of Who's Who scam that allows self-promoters to buy their entry) and a primary source profile on the self-published website of a directly affiliated organization. But on a ProQuest search for older coverage that doesn't Google properly, I literally found nothing but a few stray pieces of "local guy writes book" in his hometown community hyperlocal, which is not enough coverage to make a person notable if it's the best we can do. And although he was named to the Order of Canada, that's still not an instant notability freebie that exempts him from having to have any viable sources -- lots of OC members don't have Wikipedia articles, because even with an OC after their name a person still has to show some evidence of having received reliable source coverage about the work they did to get it. ANYBIO does not exempt a person from having to have any viable sources just because a distinction has been claimed: we still have to be able to base the article on some evidence of reliable source coverage about his writing.

  • Delete - Does not meet WP:NBIO as he has not received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Nor do his achievements mentioned in the article suggest that he meets WP:GNG. The article has been created by an account with a likely conflict of interest. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:31, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to guarantee him a Wikipedia article just because he exists, but the referencing is almost entirely to primary sources and listicles, not real media coverage that is substantively about him. For example, a person is not notable as a contributor to publications just because you reference the fact to his own writing for those publications — the notability test is not the ability to verify that he's been the author of media coverage of other things, it's the ability to verify that he's been the subject of media coverage authored by other people. Similarly, video clips of him speaking are not support for notability either — again, the notability test is not the ability to show sources in which he's doing the speaking, but the ability to show sources in which he's the subject that other people are speaking about. Bearcat (talk) 18:58, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Overturn. [Revote struck.] Of the 15 sources provided, 4 are feature pieces on him solely, 2 are lists that highlight his involvement as a leader in a space, and 1 is an article that quotes him alongside other experts in the field. Provided also are sources that show he can be categorized as a columnist. I do agree that unless he has authored a book or has a career specifically as a journalist/writer, this can be taken from the page. Jkantorjourno Jkantorjourno (talk) 20:26, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, "overturn" is not a thing AFD can do — we can only "keep" or "delete". Secondly, you may comment as many times as you wish in an AFD discussion, but you are not allowed to "vote" more than once — that is, once you have already initiated a comment with a bolded vote, you cannot initiate any further comments with a restatement of the bolded vote. Thirdly, the references which are "feature pieces on him solely" are not from reliable source media outlets; sources which quote him giving soundbite on a topic are not support for notability and neither are listicles which feature only a blurb's worth of content about him; and a person is not notable as a columnist just because it's possible to use his own columns as circular verification of his status as a columnist, but becomes notable for that only if and when other people do journalism or critical analysis about his column writing. The notability test for a Wikipedia article is not doing stuff, it is receiving certain specific kinds of substantive attention and coverage from other people for doing stuff. Bearcat (talk) 16:37, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete the subject doesnt pass WP:GNG, WP:NCREATIVE, and not even WP:ANYBIO among other criteria. Also a doubtful thing is the creator of the article claims to be new to wikipedia, yet they knew about the previos deletion. Assuming good faith, it is possible that they carefully did read the notice before creating the article stating it was created n deleted previously. But as mentioned on their talkpage, they have (mostly) edited only two artcles created by themselves. Like noted above, COI/UPE is highly likely. —usernamekiran(talk) 08:24, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

UPE Promotion for run of the mill business man and non notable actor that is supposedly "best known for his roles in the Netflix TV series House of Cards, Outsiders, What Would You Do?, and Veep." House of Cards, minor part in 2/72 episodes. Outsiders, minor part in single episode. What Would You Do?, actually appears in multiple episodes, best of the bunch but is only 10/288 episodes and if you've ever seen an episode you'll know these are not significant roles. Veep, minor part in single episode. So that best known is boasting about nothing much. The roles in the bluelinked films in his filmography, Cafe Patron and Opera Patron, both uncredited. His awards, a high schools hall of fame. A local in house "Chapter Supplier of the Year" award. Not significant awards. Article is bombarded with a lot of sources but none are good for GNG. PR, primary routine announcements, listings, indiscriminate local puff.

Delete I saw this come up for discussion for delete a week ago and have spent that time thinking about my vote. I had spent a lot of time cutting this article down a few years ago and what is left wasn't much. RPM and FC do not work and further discussion of it is simply a waste of time. Tito is not communicating as stated, in fact when you watch the videos of him working with his mother you can see that at times he is communicating by his actions of "bugger off". I think that Tito should be mentioned on the RPM page (as he is). His mother might warrant her own Wikipedia page as the inventor of RPM. But the "sockpuppet" of the mother should not have a Wikipedia page. I apologize if the term sockpuppet upsets you, but I can't find a better way to describe it, he is essentially used as a pointing device for his mother's delusions of communication. I was not able to find RS for Tito other than attribution that he was doing the writing. Possibly a Tito article could exist if RS in the future wrote about his situation in how he was tested and so on, in other words from the scientific perspective.

  • Comment For what it's worth, there have been decades of of discussion about "other" Sun Records labels among record collectors. However, I get the point of the nomination. With sources I have, I could create articles for the Leeds & Catlin version, the Toronto Canada version, the 1946 Jewish label, and the Albuquerque label. Often they are discussed, though, in order to dispel confusion for newer collectors who think they have a rare Sam Phillips-related item. A lot of this article is obvious original research ("listed on ebay"), but I don't think that outright deleting the entire article is the best option per WP:PRESERVE. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:12, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to Sun Records (disambiguation) and cut back significantly, to have only one line about each of the record companies that don't have articles yet. Since there are two Sun Records companies that already have articles and several others that don't (although some might have articles in the future), disambiguation seems appropriate for this situation. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:39, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • weak keep What makes a golf club or golf course notable? This is adequately sourced as an article. Is a golf course notable as part of a gazetteer? In this case, I think the article is hinging on the social history aspect, and the club having been founded as early as 1909. That's a long time ago in golfing terms, placing it into the great English late-Victorian golf boom. I see that as significant enough to keep. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:28, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The available evidence indicates little to no support for notability. Of the three readily accessible sources, ref 1 is not independent and doesn't mention the club on the linked page (although on search of the entire site, there are a few passing mentions in blog posts); ref 4 mentions the club only in passing; and ref 5 does not mention the club at all. Of the offline sources, ref 9 is clearly not a reliable source; refs 3 and 10, being the obituary of a person are not likely to have significant coverage of the golf club. The rest have too little information available to assess, but based on the track record of what we can see, it is not justifiable to assume they contain enough to support notability. --RL0919 (talk) 16:15, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree with your comments re Ref 1. The NAPGC is quite clearly an leading independent national body; the reference to the club on its website is not "passing". It is listed as one of the NAPGC's affiliated clubs. This is not a "blog post". Similarly, ref 4 is not a "passing" mention. The club was one of the main achievements of the subject of the obituary. On ref 5, it is disingenuous to say it doesn't mention the name "Brent Valley": that's because it had a different name. That's the whole point of this piece of information. Your assertion that ref 9 is not a reliable source is clearly groundless. The Middlesex County Times was a longstanding and leading regional newspaper. Again, on the obituary, the golf club was a major achievement in Albert Toley's life, so it is significantly covered in the obituary. Rugfoot (talk) 15:53, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SNL is professional league, but you removed it from the list and deleted my source. Ludost Mlačani (talk) 10:56, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It was removed by User:S.A. Julio over a year ago, because both UEFA and NZS sources (2019 version, not 2008 version) says that the league is not fully-pro. Snowflake91 (talk) 11:05, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Which source clearly states that the league is semi-pro? Ludost Mlačani (talk) 11:21, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And which clearly states that the league is fully-pro? Not UEFA or NZS source from 2019. Snowflake91 (talk) 11:45, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But you listed the league under not fully-pro, even though no source clearly indicates that. And why should it be from 2019? For most leagues on the list there are older sources. Ludost Mlačani (talk) 12:04, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to education. This probably didn't really need to come to AfD since either a merge or a redirect seem like the obvious WP:ATDs. However I'd agree that the term isn't notable enough for an article of its own right now, and a redirect seems appropriate as there is little or nothing to merge. Hugsyrup (talk) 12:29, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, cheeky of nominator to redirect article while afd is on, have reinstated article so that editors may readily assess it, anyway, agree that this should be a redirect as it does not appear to be a well-used term (I note by the article history that it has previously been merged than reinstated a couple of years ago).

    • (Nominator)I redirected the article because Hugsyrup was saying that the AfD was not necessary in the case of a redirect.

  • Keep Lack of English-language news reliable sources is not a good reason to delete an article if the subject is more well-known in a foreign-language per WP:NONENG. Use WP:TRLA if you can't verify sources not written in English.

I truly do not understand why the TVHOF is AFD

The Texas Veterans Hall of Fame (TVHOF) exists today and has since the beginning of 2018. The TVHOF is a Self-Sustaining Nonprofit 501C3. It is comprised of an unpaid eight member board of directors and a number of dedicated unpaid volunteers. Currently the physical TVHOF is a movable display of panels depicting the conflicts where Texas Veterans were involved and a custom mobile trailer with a similar set of displays. The permanent home for the TVHOF is under final discussion with 2 northern Texas city councils. The TVHOF is small, but, evolving. We appreciate your support.

I don't understand the WP:TOOSOON part. I'm looking back at the history of various organizations. e.g. Twitter in Feb. 2007, or, Splunk in Apr. 2005. Talk about "too soon". Was there a WP:TOOSOON problem with them at that time? Splunk only got series A funding in Dec. 2004. Please explain further. Thanks

Gary J Hardy (talk) 09:39, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • My reference to Twitter/Splunk was an example of a WP article that was started way before they were anything. There is no independent commentator for the TVHOF. It's a non-profit. Was there an independent commentator who started the WP articles for Twitter/Splunk? Most of us helping to get the TVHOF off the ground are Vietnam Veterans and member of VVA Chapter 920. Would it be better if I wasn't asked to be on the board of the TVHOF? Gary J Hardy (talk) 11:36, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - In order for a subject to have notability, articles must have independent coverage in third-party reliable sources. It's a noble cause, but where's the coverage about why it's significant? This article fails WP:GNG. Wikipedia is not the place to spread information about something you're getting off the ground. We don't create notable subjects; we report on them. Red Phoenix talk 12:13, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's off the ground. It's been reported on by local televisions and newspapers. How large TVHOF will become is hard to say. I'm simply trying to report on it via WP. Sorry you don't see it that way. Gary J Hardy (talk) 13:31, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • Wikipedia is not a crystal ball - we don't report on "what might be". Local news coverage is something, but we're also not a newspaper. Red Phoenix talk 13:36, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • Maybe I should reference something I have first hand knowledge about. Fortify Software I was employee #7 in Jan. 2005. The first WP article for Fortify Software was created in July 2006 by User:Davedonohue (no longer a WP user). Next edit was by User:RBowen a full-time Fortify employee at that time. Conflict of interest never noted in that case. In July 2006 I'm pretty sure we had only 3 sales and Series A funding. Odds were the market would never understand or be willing to pay for a static analysis tool. No crystal ball needed, but, somehow it all worked out. Oh wait! Holy Crap. I also edited the Fortify Software article. Definitely a conflict of interest. Gary J Hardy (talk) 15:00, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
          • @Gary J Hardy: Since you've brought up the COI notice I placed multiple times, I think it's worth clarifying: I did not recommend the article be deleted because because of your COI, but because I don't think the article's topic currently met our notability requirement. You are not entitled to a Wikipedia article simply because your organization exists, but must meet our minimum threshold of notability. Wikipedia is not a means of promotion.
          • This is not to say that this topic will not merit an article in the future. It certainly seems entirely plausible that it will.
          • And of course we're not always perfect at enforcing our policies and guidelines and they have not remained constant over the last decade; they have in fact changed significantly over the last decade. But we do what we can; we're volunteers. I understand it's disappointing to have an article you created for an organization you support deleted, but I hope you can understand. Retro (talk | contribs) 23:02, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, or alternatively userfy until such a time that reliable sources can be found. There appears to be weak coverage in local sources, but not to the point of satisfying WP:GNG. The majority of the content reads like an unsourced essay rather than as an encyclopedia article. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not an argument to keep. --Kinu t/c 20:49, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The current article is written in future tense.. such and such “will” be done. We can’t/don’t host stuff like that. I read one of the local news articles, which mentions the board has just four original members and that one hopes it will grow. It is not a going concern, it is just an idea so far. It is appropriate for us to wish them well, maybe, but it is not an established thing and Wikipedia can’t be used to promote it. —Doncram (talk) 01:29, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Further, i read all three “news” articles in the external links section and they do not support statements in the article and above about the initiative actually being "on". They are really human interest news articles, not hard news. They just establish that a few veterans would like to do something, which is not basis for a wikipedia article. They don't even adequately support the assertion that the board has 4 or 8 members or that it has any display panels or that it has done anything; no fact-checking was done by the Denton Record Chronicle, they are just reporting what someone said, they are not on the line in to assert the truth of what was said to them.
Further, this is in effect a request for wikipedia to endorse this initiative and these people. To play devil’s advocate, maybe this initiative is in fact "bad" for cluttering up the situation and undermining chances for other, better initiatives to succeed. Another group might have more substantial resources or strategy or appeal and potential to succeed. If you want to reach youth so they understand better about veterans or past wars, perhaps it would be better to make a small donation to PBS, say, or one of many Youtube-based military history video producers. So we cannot endorse this one idea. —Doncram (talk) 01:56, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment A quick google search leads me to the following articles: in the Süddeutsche Zeitung [21]; Augsburger Allgemeine [22] and [23]; SWP [24]. Still looking. RebeccaGreen (talk) 07:27, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I have added the sources I linked to above, with a bit more information. There is more biographical info to add from those sources, and I have yet to search for more. I believe that she does meet WP:NAUTHOR - there may be reviews of her illustrations, but there are certainly reviews of her novels and articles about her as a novelist.

The result was no consensus. It has been 2 weeks since the last comment so I can't justify a 3rd relist. Stubbyfying looks a good idea but that is for subsequent editorial action. Just Chilling (talk) 01:07, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I started massive cleanup of this article and I'm at the point where I can't find independent sources to back up any of the claims. Coverage is international but routine, with these being some of the articles I've found in my attempt to source this thing: [25] or [26]. I thought I found an article from the UAE which could verify at least some of the claims in the introduction, but it turned out to have copy-and-pasted Wikipedia. It's very possibly notable, see [27], but as this stands it's entirely sourced to primary sites, very crufty, possibly promotional, and not encyclopaedic. Best case scenario seems to be WP:TNT to me, so nominating it for deletion. SportingFlyer T·C 08:20, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep but stubify if necessary and go from there. Coverage is significant enough and widespread enough to indicate notability, but detail is lacking. Primary sources are fine but rebuilding from the ground up is necessary to deal with the tone. Triptothecottage (talk) 07:20, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Triptothecottage: Would you mind posting some links to sources which you think pass WP:GNG? They'd be helpful for improving the article, and I'm at a total loss here. SportingFlyer T·C 16:25, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fails to establish notability per WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Lacks reliable sources per WP:RS. Most of the references are self-published and none are from independent, third party sources. Geoff | Who, me? 20:27, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Glane23: removed the section about the "early life" due to not having any sources other than LinkedIn

removed the first 2 paragraphs about Maclaine working for Smelly Van Riders, and Boston Search Group, Inc

added more sources to cite him working for rock band

Awaiting reply...

Kantoon0805 (talk) 09:42, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Checked over other music composers such as "Jeremy Soule", and most of the specific information about him comes from interviews from multiple websites, his wikipedia article has the "good article" tag too. I do not see why Maclaine can't have the same.

Kantoon0805 (talk) 01:04, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Over the past week I have worked hard to ensure that the sources in the article are credible, reliable, and not self-published. I think that the article looks significantly better now compared to when it was nominated for deletion. I believe that the article is now notable and has reliable sources and it would be better to continue improving the article rather than deleting it entirely.

  • Delete Despite the efforts to make the article notable, most of the sources are interviews or other WP:PRIMARY sources. I don't see a demonstration of significant coverage in secondary sources specifically about this person.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 01:08, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep WP:ANYBIO is met. Or perhaps WP:ARTIST #1 "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." He has done music for notable projects. He has also won awards from reliable sources in this industry based on his music in video games. Dream Focus 01:52, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ANYBIO is not an instant get-out-of-AfD-free card. "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." Is there proof that it satisfies notability?ZXCVBNM (TALK) 02:30, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
