- Keep: I would tend to think that a 1962 film with notable cast, notable director, notable musicians is notable for historical reasons but if the various results of GBooks (added
one2) search are not judged sufficient, please redirect to the director's filmography. VERY opposed to deletion. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:25, 14 September 2024 (UTC)- Yank, I have seen you say this in different AFDs, could you please point out the part of WP:NFILM that says we should keep films because it has notable casts? Definitely not going to be the second criteria of WP:NFIC. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 16:34, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- My point is: pre-internet+ notable cast and director and musicians (not only because it has a notable cast) might be a case of Systemic Bias issue, if you really want a corresponding supplemental page to refer my !vote to. My point is: off-line sources probably exist and when I mention that, I generally suggest an ATD (a redirect to a list or to the director, as you do below; when it's verifiable of course.) Thank you for your concern. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:44, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. No secondary independent reliable sources with indepth coverage on the film. One source on the page that claims to be a review is just a Google snippet and is not review. Page fails WP:NFILM, WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG. I am not opposed to redirect to director's filmography. RangersRus (talk) 13:28, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete It's difficult to find sources for something that appeared in 1962 and didn't endure. There was a TV show with the same name which seems to be quite popular and that is what pops up in searches. I did find that a CD had be made of the music but that's all. Lamona (talk) 03:06, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of Hindi films of 1962: Although this film doesn't meet WP:NFILM, this coverage is small but showed that the film may be historical as well as added to the career of Nalini Jaywant, hence redirect to List of Hindi films of 1962 instead of deletion. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 16:31, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- Replying also to Liz. (I would prefer a Keep but) if a Redirect is chosen, the target suggested by SafariScribe clearly makes sense; however, I would tend to think that regarding a film a redirect to the director should always be favoured when it is possible, as it is closer to the subject than a more general list (in the present case, Ravindra_Dave#Hindi_cinema. Thank you. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:56, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- General note: There is a generally accepted working consensus regarding released films with notable cast and/or made by a notable director (and/or including the participation of notable personalities (musicians, writers, etc). The said consensus is that such articles are redirected to a list of films by year/country or to the article about their director when they can, if reliable sources allow verification. When such films are mentioned as critical and/or commercial successes especially pre-internet films, and, again, given coverage allows verification, their cultural and historical significance is generally considered a sufficient reason to retain a standalone page. Either way, the consensus is that such pages are generally not deleted.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 09:14, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Still no consensus seen here. I'm not sure that a few more days will resolve this, along with the competing suggestions for a Redirect target article.

The result was keep. Many of the arguments here revolved around the WP:REFBOMB essay. We must keep in mind that the number or percentage of sources that don't provide SIGCOV does not affect notability. The number and quality of sources that do provide SIGCOV are what matters, even if they are drowned in a sea of routine, non-SIGCOV references. There is a rough consensus here that while most of the cited sources are useless, the few that do provide SIGCOV are enough to meet our notability guidelines. Owen× ☎ 13:06, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- Butterfree (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
As a fan of the original 151 Pokemon and someone who enjoyed Bye Bye, Butterfree myself, I went over the sources carefully as I really want this to be notable. Unfortunately, it just doesn't seem that way at all and it doesn't feel like the article's recreation was justified. Arguably its best source is from CBR, which is considered "unreliable" post 2016. Everything else is pretty trivial, about the episode rather than the Pokemon itself, or from large general lists of Pokemon which don't indicate that particular one is uniquely notable. Even with the paper comparing bug Pokemon to real-world insects, I am not convinced GNG is passed here. I realize I may get hit with the "you nominated it the day it was recreated" argument, but the article did not have an "under construction" banner so I must assume that the creator believes it is in a finished state. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:54, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements and Video games. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:54, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Being about the episode does not mean that notability cannot be gleaned for Butterfree from the discussion of the episode and commentary on Butterfree's role in it. The Gamer discusses Ash's relationship with Butterfree and what its return could symbolize, and simply being a part of a greater article does not mean that the discussion of the urban legend surrounding it and Venonat is not a demonstration of notability (per WP:GNG). The fact that the episode is a large part of why people talk about Butterfree so much is immaterial to the fact that they do. There is also commentary on Butterfree's role in the game as an early evolver, as was it the subject of commentary as being Ash's first Pokémon caught. I also added this article, which discusses extensively Butterfree's relationship with Ash in the anime. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 23:10, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Restore Redirect to List of generation I Pokémon#Butterfree per nom - Most of the sources are game guides, extremely trivial mentions, and content-farm style "Top Ten" lists. The few that look half-way decent are just reviews/summaries of a handful of specific episodes of the anime that featured Ash's Butterfree, with no real discussion about the actual fictional species, and even those are not from the most reliable of sources. I also have to mention that there looks to be quite a bit of WP:REFBOMBing going on here. I already mentioned the trivial nature of the coverage of Butterfree in a lot of the included references, but some of these are literally one sentence mentions of that Pokemon and some, such as the first and fourth ones currently listed, don't mention Butterfree at all. Overall, I am not seeing anything to justify this specific Pokemon being split out into an independent article, and should be Redirected to its section at the Gen I Pokemon list. Rorshacma (talk) 23:44, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'd like to make the point that the sources you're referring to as not mentioning Butterfree are only used to verify basic information about what a Pokémon is, how they work, and how the games work. Not mentioning Butterfree does not make them not useful for this article, and the same citations are used on Raichu, a featured article. As far as top 10 lists go, there is nothing to suggest that merely being in a top 10 list makes coverage less significant. The Gamer, Crunchyroll, and the entomologist all provide significant coverage on the subject, even if Butterfree is not the main subject of their respective works. In the latter's case, they may be analyzing the Bug type as a whole, but they do not give each Pokémon equal weight. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 23:51, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, sources not mentioning the subject can be useful for an article, but they also do nothing to help establish any notability for the subject, which is the issue at stake here. Its the sheer number of references being used here that either don't mention Buterfree or have a one-sentence namedrop that gives the impression of a WP:REFBOMB. As far as "Top Ten" style lists go, putting aside the fact that these are often from content farms that are generally not considered reliable sources, they also generally do not actually contain significant coverage. Take the IGN list included here, for example - its three sentences long, and its "coverage" of Butterfree is simply "Bye Bye Butterfree was sad", which is not significant coverage. Rorshacma (talk) 00:17, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- ??? No one claimed those sources showed notability, they're there to verify facts, how is this refbombing in any capacity? - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 00:23, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Because that is the first two points of the WP:REFBOMB essay - an overkill of citations that briefly namecheck the subject without actually being about the subject, and citations that don't mention the subject and are presented to verify a fact that is not related to the subject's notability. Keep in mind that WP:REFBOMB is just an essay, not a policy - I am simply using it to demonstrate the larger issue - the fact that so many trivial citations are needed to be used to try to provide references for the article shows the lack of genuine significant coverage in reliable sources that would allow Buttefree to pass the WP:GNG. Rorshacma (talk) 00:34, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Rorshacma: Something I feel needs clarification, by the "first and fourth one", are you talking about the references in the article itself or the reception section? Because references 1 and 4 are part of the "copypasta" used in these articles to establish terminology and context to the reader.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:45, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Kung Fu Man:Yeah, I'm talking about the "copypasta" part that just has the general overview of what a Pokémon is. Which, yeah, I understand is needed for context, but still means about 7 of the citations in this article are not about the subject of the article, which combined with the fact that another 8 are of the "single word mentions" variety means that the article has a lot of citations - but more than half are not actually on the subject of the article. Rorshacma (talk) 02:17, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Rorshacma: That doesn't constitute a refbomb in this case though, that's a section agreed upon after multiple discussions at WT:VGCHAR to help readers understand these articles, and survived the FAC process just fine. Holding them against an article like this is realistically pretty unfair, as refbombing revolves around unnecessary sources in an article.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:32, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. I apologize, as I did not mean it to be a slight against the editors of the article or to imply any intentional wrongdoing on their part. It was mainly just to preempt the argument I occasionally see pop up in AFDs where someone will cite the number of references in an article as evidence of notability, without examining the amount of coverage of the topic in those references. It was basically just me saying "despite the number of sources present, the coverage of the subject within a lot of them is not significant". I'll try to use better wording in the future. Rorshacma (talk) 03:07, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment As an aside, is there any reason why CBR is unreliable in a way that other Valnet sources are not? I believe that general consensus is that being owned by Valnet is not disqualifying, and the article used here was published prior to CBR's layoffs and use of AI. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 00:05, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Sources/Archive 30#Comic Book Resources, it seems to be due to a significant degradation of content compared to their old self, and the fact they didn't cover video game subjects until after Valnet bought them, which, additionally, was when their old staff practically all left the moment Valnet bought them. Admittedly I do feel I disagree in its complete unreliability, since it's about equal in terms of quality to the usual Game Rant/Screen Rant, but that was the rationale provided during its initial discussion. I feel if its status should be debated, another discussion at the Sources page would be warranted, but that is likely outside the scope of this AfD. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 00:20, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I think a key thing being missed here is the wording "generally" vs strictly unreliable. We've had discussions regarding Valnet afterward that are visible in the archives on the subject of editorial pieces, where the concerns with CBR were strictly about churnalism and AI usage accusations (the latter of which Valnet confirmed they have no plans to use). The article cited here however is an editorial opinion piece, and should be fine for usage.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:32, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

WeakKeep While I would appreciate stronger sourcing, I feel what's here shows some potential avenues of discussion that help illustrate the character's notability. In the anime's regard, its character arc and the impact it had on viewers is definitely commented on frequently even years after its exit from the show. There's a dissertation here, which while brief actually covers how reactions to the anime helped affect the games itself later on. There's also discussion here on how Butterfree leaving continues a theme of loss and acceptance for children to understand. Additionally there is some design commentary, and while I'd like that to be stronger (then again, let's be real it's a butterfly), the avenue of its evolution being inconsistent and how fans have attempted to rationalize such and the importance of such rationalization is talked about in a published paper here. Now this is just from a cursory glance online thus far, but with how quickly I found these in scholarly works I feel there's enough to this subject to warrant it as a stand alone, it's just a bit in the rough.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 03:37, 21 September 2024 (UTC)- While I can't access one of them, the others you posted are only 1-2 sentences long when talking about Butterfree, so it kinda backs up the extremely trivial mention/REFBOMB idea here. This feels like it's going into a WP:SOURCESEXIST argument unless you can outright demonstrate several reliable, significant sources. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:13, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- More I'm suggesting one could build a "death by 1000 cuts" approach of using the smaller sources providing unique thoughts on a matter observations to support bigger sources in the article, which we've seen in the past can work. It's a weaker argument I'll admit, but it's why I prefaced this with a weak keep.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 08:36, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Removing the "Weak" part after the recent addition and work on the article and some contemplation. Additionally I feel the "refbomb" argument is a misnomer, as it's being used apparently against the references in the article as a whole instead of the reception section, and the sources cited there are providing some commentary as to why the character matters particularly due to its anime characterization which is still valid.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:54, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Added this source to the reception (and used it to reduce the number of citations by replacing a source for this in the Appearances section). - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 09:56, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Whilst I wish there was more here on the species, I think the article does enough to help the subject pass GNG with the mentions of the anime. From the way I read it and see the sources in the reception, I believe the mentions of Bye Bye Butterfree justifies the importance of the Butterfree character in the anime, as well as states why the species is popular in the first place, not strictly about the episode itself. CaptainGalaxy 10:07, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect This is a WP:REFBOMB circumstance fuelled by mere mentions. This hasn't achieved WP:SIGCOV and can be written up in another more notable article. Jontesta (talk) 00:14, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- There are multiple articles that go into detail on Butterfree, not merely the episode. Notably, the IGN source, Crunchyroll source, and Sports Illustrated source, on top of the entomological sigcov clearly passes WP:THREE. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 01:23, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. Been on the fence about this one the past few days, but I believe this just squeaks past notability. If it were just the Bye Bye Butterfree refs I'd have considered shifting topic focus (And if this discussion does end in a merge/redirect, I would suggest seeing if using this content for that end is viable) but the refs on the urban legend are surprisingly good and do help show there is discussion among players about Butterfree in multiple aspects. While the refs could be stronger, I do believe that this article has just enough to justify a split-out. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 00:18, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment - The current article is little more than a dictionary definition and it is not very encyclopedic. As a type of song, this article could be expanded into something similar to ballad or aria, but knowledgeable editors will have to do a lot of work. "Unencyclopedic" and "needs expansion" are not good criteria for a vote so I am merely commenting here, but I recommend that someone gather the forces at Project Cleanup, Article Rescue Squadron, and/or Project Turkey. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:56, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to fasıl. As I wrote above, this is not keepable as is. I do not think the subject is inherently notable as Joyful seemingly suggested, and without anyone championing its expansion, why should we just let it sit? I agree with Doomsdayer that reaching out to those projects would probably help, but until such time where there is a response and work begins, I don't think it's right to leave this alone. And the article can always be restored and expanded. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 11:14, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to fasıl: As stated above, this is a notable topic, type of song in Ottoman classical music. However, due to the lack of sources and no expansion in sight, it should stay as a redirect until its sourced recreation. Aintabli (talk) 23:55, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Article about a person that doesn't meet WP:GNG. The first source is a database result as well as unverifiable. The second sources was like that too. The third one, embt.org, is solely a tribute to another man called "Alberto", and has nothing to do with this article. Source 5 is undoubtedly unreliable, and source 6 is a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE (because it's written by him, I would call it a WP:SELFPUB. ORCID isn't needful especially when citing as a biographical information. I don't know much about it, but it does appear like a user generated site. I was thinking how we can structure a person's research as academics always write many publications. On this aspect, there are many primary sources; books written by him, and thy are from source 9 to 11. Primary sources may be useful and good, but at the same time doesn't tell us how notable was that research. WA it reviewed by critics, did it appear on TV sites, e.t.c.
The subject's co-authored work, and his first book according to the article, doesn't appear to meet WP:NBOOK. This is applicable to the third (there was no mention of the second book). A Fellow of the American College of CHEST Physicians isn't notable per WP:NACADEMIC as the membership including non elected paid position is shown here. Same as the American Heart Association. Additionally, a letter of recommendation on someone doesn't show his notable that person is, and it isn't an award per WP:ANYBIO. This was accepted via AFC by me, for the sale of this AFD.

Comment: Based on the changes I have reported and the previous scientific material collected, I completely disagree with your opinion that the Roberto G. Carbone page is not worthy of being published on Wikipedia English.
- By reading your criticisms and opinions, you are asked to evaluate the page according to the scientific criteria already adopted with other biographical pages of more or less famous scientists that I have taken as a comparison to evaluate the validity of the page and the sources cited by me.
- Please remember that there are many sources from English scientific societies that cannot be considered unreliable. I would also like to point out that many of the secondary sources cannot be cited as they do not exist on the web but only physically in paper format (for example scientific magazines, local newspapers, independent information). I therefore ask you to let me know how I can possibly insert this additional data.
- It is recommended to use international scientific criteria to evaluate the quality and scientific impact of the research carried out by Dr. Roberto G. Carbone with those who have the appropriate scientific requirements.

- The English Wikipedia version is much more accurate than the Italian one. In detail, in the introduction I have added more accurate information regarding the scientific studies and the collaboration of Roberto G. Carbone's closest colleagues.
- I added in the "Research" section the close collaboration with the Nobel Prize winner Prof. Renato Dulbecco in the physiology of lung cancer.
- I added a quote with the photograph of the current president of the Royal Society Medicine who recommended that I write as a courtesy that Roberto G. Carbone is honored to be a member of the Royal Society Medicine.
Finally I added the appointment of Roberto G. Carbone to the editorial board of the scientific journal The Lancet by the Editor.

- Delete. Citation record does not look like a pass of WP:NPROF C1. Editorial board membership is WP:MILL, and does not contribute to notability. The fellowships in the Royal College and in CHEST appear to be based in large part on ability to pay, to be open to early career researchers, and in general not to be the kind of thing discussed by NPROF C3. Fellowship in American Heart Association failed WP:V. Little sign of GNG notability. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:52, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I agree with Russ Woodroofe's evaluation just above. In addition, the bit about the libraries that hold his 2009 book is just odd. So what if it's held "at MIT in Boston [sic]"? The MIT library system contains millions of books. That whole paragraph reads like trying to hype up a person without actually knowing what a successful academic career looks like.

The result was draftify and move-protect.. I also blue-locked the mainspace deleted page for one year to prevent recreation by non-XC editors. Any admin is welcome to replace this with a page-block for the relevant editor, if they believe it to be a better solution. Owen× ☎ 13:24, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

- Hey guys -- added section regarding SCA's management of Survivor, from a primary source text (Jim Peterik's memoir). Being GM of WB Music, discovering a multi-platinum act, additional management of acts across the late-70s and 80s I think establish his notability.

Delete: The edtior who moved this back to mainspace had their chance to demonstrate notability prior to moving it back to mainspace and they've failed.Draftify and Move Protect and guidance provided to the editor that they must utilise AFC on this subject. Only one source has anything more than passing mentions and that's a blog (hosted by WordPress). The rest of the references only mention the subject once or not at all. There's only one article I can't access which is reference 6. I was unable to find anything else through doing searches which demonstrates notability. TarnishedPathtalk 02:52, 28 September 2024 (UTC)- Draftify and Move Protect: Nothing to verify notability has changed. As a key tenet of Wikipedia WP:V must be demonstrated. The creating editor's ambition in returning this to mainspace exceeds Aristel's claim to notability. While AFC is not compulsory I believe they should be given firm guidance to await a review. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 05:48, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep I don't much like this article. It's mostly a big list of notable bands with no obvious reason to connect them to the article subject. However I do think that basic BLPN is being met, so I'd keep it.
- What I don't like are all the things that are mentioned, but not explained - like the Survivor litigation. That's no use in an encyclopedia. I don't even know what a 'song plugger' does? It seems to be someone who plugs songs (i.e. written sheet music) to generate cover versions by popular artists. But IMHE (in the UK), the term is more commonly someone who plugs recorded songs to generate airplay and sales. An article, even a short one like this, is far from complete until such loose ends are tied off. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:50, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

The result was keep. Consensus established to keep. There were two closures which were reverted as BADNAC and NACINV respectively. Consensus favours more towards keep than a speedy keep as a bad AfD nomination or a SNOW close. The nominator is advised to go through page history and do a source analysis before nominating the article for deletion. Furthermore, any idea of deletion of such an article can be discussed in the talk page before any nomination. (non-admin closure) The Herald (Benison) (talk) 20:11, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

This article is sourced almost entirely to puff piece 'studies' with no real peer review and opinion articles, with a number of the quoted studies showing the exact opposite of the article's premise. To be blunt, this article is just as much of an opinion piece as the many, many crappy opinion pieces it cribs from. Because the purpose of the article is begging the question, it should either be shitcanned or, at best, heavily reworked to make it quite clear that it's a conspiracy theory. Jtrainor (talk) 20:23, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Speedy keep – this is a GA and the nomination doesn't actually provide a good reason for deletion. If there are issues with the article, I suggest suggesting changes on talk, instead of starting an AfD. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 20:28, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep as creator, the nomination is an WP:IDONTLIKEIT argument.

- Keep sorucing presently in the article shows a clear pass of the WP:GNG. FWIW, personally, I do not see speedy keep criteria WP:CSK being met here (in this case, the main ones being: there is a deletion rationale - sourcing issues - there's no nominator withdrawl and it is not *unquestionably* vadalism or distruption).
That said, a WP:SNOW closure can be appropriate here.Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 07:39, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. This is a different person than Diane Hamilton, a business professor at Rowan University and the author of some reasonably well-cited works that otherwise look like they might fit the subject of this AfD ("A decision model for integration across the business curriculum in the 21st century", "Factors affecting student performance and satisfaction", and "Adding contextual specificity to the technology acceptance model"). The better-cited Diane Hamilton from Rowan was educated at Rowan, Drexel, and Temple [2] which doesn't match the education part of the nominated article. I also found several reviews of folklore music by our non-disambiguated Diane Hamilton. As for the Diane Hamilton whose article we are discussing, her books appear to be essentially self-published and I found no reviews. We do not have the citation record or other criteria needed for WP:PROF, none of the sources in the article are sufficiently reliable and independent to contribute to WP:GNG, and as discussed above the article is heavily promotional. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:14, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

This article should be deleted. The article highlights his film career, but his career is WP:TOOSOON. He has had three uncredited TV roles, one credited TV role 3 years ago, one uncredited movie role, and two credited movie roles. It is premature to give this actor a Wikipedia article. The article does not demonstrate GNG with its sources and it is reasonable to assume someone with such a small filmography could not meet that standard (yet).

- Keep: meets WP:DIRECTOR as director of at least 2 notablle feature films, so that deletion is not necessary in my opinion. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:44, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Reply. The criteria for WP:DIRECTOR to which I believe you are alluding is the person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series). Neither of his films has been covered in this way. The films do not show up on the Box Office Mojo grossing lists. Forty Winks is an 80 minute movie (barely a feature) and has four reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Atrabilious, which is at least a full length film, has a whopping five. For context, Paddington 2 has 251 reviews. Neither film's gross shows up on Box Office Mojo, so they were not widely released. Depending on what one can find about Atrabilious, it would be just one single thing and still not meet WP:GNG. --Mpen320 (talk) 19:38, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, his films have received coverage the way that is required. Yes, it is less than Paddington 2, which received less than Citizen Kane..... -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 20:23, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- And 80 minutes is CLEARLY not barely the duration of a feature film (>40 or 58 min), btw. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 20:29, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- And also Wp: Oneevent does NOT apply to artists and their work, whereas Wp:Director DOES apply even if one film is concerned (and here you have 2, anyway). -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 20:31, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Then you should be able to demonstrate that coverage by providing links in your responses. Also, I assume at this point I am being trolled because Citizen Kane has 134 critics reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. That is such an unnecessary lie.--Mpen320 (talk) 20:37, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to Foundation universe - Almost entirely made up of overly detailed, in-universe plot information on one part of the Foundation series' setting. There is no indication that a split article is necessary, and the topic would be best covered as part of the article on the Foundation universe's overall plot and setting per WP:NOPAGE. What little there is here that is non-plot summaries and sourced to material aside from the books themselves is not great, and I don't see anything worth merging, but Redirecting would preserve the history if anyone thinks something should be moved over.

A copy and paste move from AfC. I didn't PROD for two reasons. One reason, it'll inevitably be reversed by the draft/article creator.

Delete: There was a terrible error with the swap tool. This article has been draftified. However in the process of deleting this as a redirect, I restored the contents inorder to move without leaving a redirect, but found myself swapping pages instead of moving. But since the editor bypassed AFC to create this drat, I am not opposed to delete. It doesn't meet WP:NGAME. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 17:07, 27 September 2024 (UTC)- Keep Reasoning includes the following points:
A) it is suggested that the article is unreliably sourced. Yet included are 10 citations from a variety of online sources, including the respected BBG (‘board game geek’) and ‘shut up & sit down’, which are themselves referenced in their own Wikipedia articles. Additionally, there is a citation from an original review in the 1970s physically published magazine ‘Games & Puzzles’ B) this compares favourably with other live articles describing other board games listed on the Waddington's Wikipedia entry, such as the one for ‘Formula One’ (which was used as a template to create this article), which only has 6 citations. C) it is also surmised that this subject is not ‘notable’, and yet it is listed on the Waddington’s Wikipedia entry in the list of notable games, along with other board games which have their own articles including ‘formula One’. By implication, if this well researched and cited article is not deemed suitable, it implies that many other articles on similar games need reviewing, along with the notable games list. I consider it a crime against knowledge sharing that such an extensive deletion of articles might be undertaken D) it is stated that few entries are found when googling this subject matter. That is hardly surprising given that the subject of the article is a game that was first published in 1967 and went out of print during the 1970s, way before the internet was created. Still, the game was very popular during its time, selling in the many thousands, as can be judged by observing the number of copies currently for sale on auction sites such as eBay and Amazon, indicating the continued interest. There is also a YouTube review of the game which is only 9 months old, showing the continued interest, implying a Wikipedia entry would be of assistance E) it is incorrectly assessed that this is a computer video game. This mistake leads to the belief that it is not notable, since no modern details exist. Whereas the reality is that this is a traditional board game, recognised by families of the 1970s — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smartiperson (talk • contribs) 18:10, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I will have to see what else can be found, but the review in Games & Puzzles [8] is a legit WP:RS. BOZ (talk) 22:04, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: I have weeded out the non-RS sources, and re-organized it to reflect the information given in the remaining RS sources. Currently those are a contemporaneous review in Games & Puzzles, a retrospective review on the editorially-independent review site Shut Up & Sit Down and a recent article about the game published by the Museum of Games and Gaming (Preston, UK). I believe this is enough to prove notability, and I am sure there are further reviews and articles about this game that have not come to light yet because of the age of the game (1970s).

The majority of coverage from reliable sources pertains to Mount Everest, while the remaining sources appear unreliable and lack in-depth coverage of the subject. Apart from climbing Mount Everest, she has no notable achievements in mountaineering, and the references related to her Everest climb are in general media rather than WP:CLIMBER media, making this seem like a case of WP:BLP1E.

Created as a draft which was declined twice and then moved to mainspace by the draft creator, who restored it to mainspace after it had been draftified again. I have cleaned it up pretty extensively and looked for better sources, but I can't see how WP:NAUTHOR or WP:GNG are met – it looks like a case of an up-and-coming writer who is not yet notable. The single possibly independent source in the article (other than all the sources that don't mention Dorneanu) gives me a warning so I have not assessed that, but one source would not be sufficient in any case.

- I agree, it’s part of an entire series of articles for the different Japanese football leagues which not only tracks the competitions year by year, but the teams too. Cutting out a single article in the series seems like it would break up the series for no good reason, when the information itself is super clearly presented, and threaded, in a way I haven’t been able to find anywhere else online.
- In my opinion deleting it would take away something useful. For that reason, I have the page a solid edit tonight. I’ve still got to go ahead and add match report links to each individual game, but I think I at least covered the basics.
- This is such a useful resource that I’m going to make it a mission to pick through all the rest of the articles in the series one by one, and expand / source each of those as well. So it would be really nice if you didn’t delete this one article as I’m doing that…

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Owen× ☎ 14:46, 19 September 2024 (UTC)- Obviously I’m not voting again, having already voted, but I’ll further explain my reasoning having spent the duration of this deletion discussion attempting to edit the article into compliance.
- As the article stood when nominated (by a user who has since quit, after having several of his articles similar to this one likewise nominated for deletion / draftified, but then kept - having made “why are mine deleted when there are articles like these” type arguments), it completely lacked sources and content. The nomination was a fair cop. Since the nomination though, I’ve found and cited several sources, reworked the article in ways which I believe both clearly lay out the season, and that prove there was significant coverage in Reliable, Independent, Secondary sources, with the likelihood of there being more sources out there which I have not yet found (searching in Japanese, my second language, slows things down, but this was the first full season in a newly formed professional competition in a major developed country - the chance of there not being more sources that I just haven’t found yet is basically zero.
- I would like to just remind people voting that the criteria is that sources proving notability are likely to exist, not that they are cited in the article as currently written. The appropriate policy is
- - “ Notability requires only that suitable independent, reliable sources exist in the real world; it does not require their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus, before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility that sources may still exist even if their search failed to uncover any.”
- I am not accusing anyone of arguing for deletion in bad faith, I think we are all trying to do what is right here, but I would like to ask anyone leaning towards deletion to ask themselves whether it is in part because they are not interested in the topic of the article, and don’t really consider foreign language sources to count when judging reliability on an English Wikipedia page.
- I’m going to keep poking away at the article, searching for more sources, and editing if I have time, and honestly I think that efforts to gradually improve the article is a better way to approach this rather than deletion, but I’ll leave that up to you guys now that I’ve said my piece. Absurdum4242 (talk) 05:32, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep. The article has been improved, although I only see one independent/secondary source (correct me if I'm wrong). I don't really have a P&G-based view on this, but in general an article on a season of a sports team that's more than a stub and meets WP:V generally satisfies the criteria for a WP:SPLIT and has a valid navigational/informational purpose, even if there isn't WP:SIGCOV of the season itself. Dclemens1971 (talk) 22:30, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for commenting. Just re sources, some of them are press releases from the league, but apart from the one you mentioned, we have a report on the need for the stadium development / licensing requirements from an independent community development organisation, a historical overview of the stadium redevelopment from the government of another prefecture who is looking to build stadiums there, an article in an online soccer magazine explaining the promotion / relegation games system (it was the inaugural season, so the system was new) giving dates and teams for the matches, and finally an overview of the full season, and of individual matches (one so far, but I’ll add them all eventually if this article is kept) by an independent sports data collection and visualisation company which doesn’t just get the data from the official sources, but also watches the games to collect their own extra data, which it then synthesises into proprietary secondary statistic (Chance Building Points being the main one), and visual game timelines.

This is particularly significant considering the hot button topic of the opioid epidemic--especially so as fentanyl coming through Texas is a large focus of nationwide policy and debate.

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Crime, Terrorism, Islam, Judaism, Morocco, and Europe. TarnishedPathtalk 07:38, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. We would either have to merge all of this to Van Gogh's article, where it would be massively undue weight, or create an article on the murder. We do not have this article on the murder; personally I think it makes more sense to structure this as an article on Bouyeri given what the sources focus on (Islamist radicalization). He's of much of a BLP1E as Mark David Chapman (also a killer of a famous person). BLP1E only applies when these three factors all apply:
- Reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event. (applies)
- The person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article. (does not apply)
- The event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. John Hinckley Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant, and his role was both substantial and well documented (does not apply)
- Only 1 of the three BLP1E factors apply. His role in the murder is very well documented, with virtually all content on it giving extensive focus to his role and his background and what lead him to the role. He has also been sentenced in the murder of a high profile famous person for quite a while so he he is not quite "low profile". The murder was one of the most notorious acts of terrorism in the country. PARAKANYAA (talk) 09:19, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- I wouldn't complain if the outcome was a article rename and refactor. See Brenton Tarrant for for an individual who has a stronger case to have their own article but who the community decided to merge into an event article. TarnishedPathtalk 09:40, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- In that case,
- 1) an event article already existed
- 2) the crime was more recent, which has different concerns
- 3) that was a new article someone had just made, not the status quo, it only briefly existed
- 4) the victims were not individually famous as Van Gogh was
- 5) the article was very bad and contained nothing the main page didn't it was just a content fork
- I think the case for him having an article was actually much worse. None of the content in that article was merged (because it was a bad content fork) it was just wholesale deleted. I'm not 100% opposed to it being converted into an event article, but it would be writing a whole new article and that is an editorial decision that should not have gone to AfD because as is we have nowhere to put this information; I am entirely opposed to deleting this or merging it into Van Gogh's article. I also think, given what the sources choose to focus on, it makes more sense for now to keep it how it is, so an event article would not be my preference. To make it an event article someone would have to do the work to do that, or it will end up getting backdoor deleted and redirected to Van Gogh (as regularly happens) which will make the encyclopedia worse. PARAKANYAA (talk) 09:56, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Further, here are the WP:CRIMINAL criteria:
- "For perpetrators,
- The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities; or
- The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role."
- Both of these are true in Bouyeri's case. PARAKANYAA (talk) 10:15, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'll withdraw this as a Speedy Keep as it is clear there has been sustained coverage after his sentencing. I'll start a discussion on the article talk to gauge if there is any appetite for an article move. TarnishedPathtalk 10:52, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Nearly everything I have found is WP:ROUTINE, but this source [14] mentions a Greenfield High School for young ladies. See page 256. Is this the same establishment? If so it appears to have a considerable history that bears further searching. If this school is much more modern, though, I doubt it is notable. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Greenfield, Massachusetts#Education. It is usual to redirect non notable schools to their school district, which is Greenfield school district in this case, but the district has no page either. But, Greenfield is the only city in Franklin County, and is co-extensive with the school district. Not only is that a suitable location, it is also the best place for a reader to find contextualised information about this school. It is already mentioned in the education section and this page has nothing notable beyond that. I did carry out searches. There is a PhD thesis that did some research here (a primary source) and the usual slew of news reporting, mostly about former students who have passed away, but also a teacher who took the school to court for not giving him Good Friday off and other such. But these are all WP:ROUTINE and WP:PRIMARY. I was unable to locate any history or in depth information about the school beyond what the school rankings sites carry. Nothing from which the page could be expanded. Does not pass WP:NORG nor WP:GNG. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:19, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

- WP:ROUTINE redirects to Wikipedia:Notability (events)#Routine coverage. The lead of Wikipedia:Notability (events) says:
Greenfield High School is not an event so Wikipedia:Notability (events) is not the applicable notability guideline.This notability guideline for events reflects consensus reached through discussions and reinforced by established practice, and informs decisions on whether an article about past, current, and breaking news events should be written, merged, deleted or further developed.
The applicable notability guidelines are Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Schools and Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline which this school passes through having received significant coverage in reliable sources. Cunard (talk) 10:31, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- The school is not an event, but what you have are non notable events that constitute routine coverage and do not provide WP:SIGCOV, which in this case is a school, subject to WP:NORG per SCHOOLOUTCOMES. I am all for treating public schools a little less stringently than WP:ORGCRITE, as they are not commercial companies trying to game the rules, but WP:ORGDEPTH is still clear that
So SIGCOV is not achieved by ROUTINE events that are neither notable in themselves, nor give anything from which an article may be written. So to put my question another way, which of these sources provide us with suitable ORGDEPTH coverage? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:58, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability. Deep or significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization. Such coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization.

- WP:ROUTINE redirects to Wikipedia:Notability (events)#Routine coverage. The lead of Wikipedia:Notability (events) says:
- Keep: the coverage provided above is beyond sufficient for establishing notability. As evidenced by the quotes, the sources include detailed significant coverage on a wide range of encyclopedic topics to be expected in a high school article:
- Campus design and construction
- Student population
- Science program
- Athletic history and facilities
- Principals
- Drama club
- Library activities
- Graduation ceremonies
Left guide (talk) 22:44, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- Also, just to clear the air, WP:NSCHOOL stipulates that public schools are only required to meet WP:GNG or WP:NORG but not necessarily both. Only private for-profit schools are required to pass both GNG and NORG. So if anyone wants to argue against notability, GNG is the yardstick; we're not raising the bar higher than the guidelines demand. I'll quote NSCHOOL below:
On another note, as Cunard says, WP:ROUTINE is wholly irrelevant to this discussion because it's on a guideline page that refers to notability for event articles, and this article is not about an event. Left guide (talk) 02:01, 2 October 2024 (UTC)All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must either satisfy the notability guidelines for organizations, the general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria.
- And WP:ORGDEPTH describes what constitutes significant coverage when meeting GNG. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability. It never is. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:20, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
And WP:ORGDEPTH describes what constitutes significant coverage when meeting GNG.
Wrong, ORGDEPTH describes what constitutes significant coverage when meeting NORG; it's directly in the NORG page. And WP:SIGCOV describes what constitutes significant coverage when meeting GNG; it's directly in the GNG section:
The source quotes furnished by Cunard above meet that standard, and hence the GNG is satisfied. Left guide (talk) 07:44, 2 October 2024 (UTC)"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
- This is rules lawyering. To meet GNG you need SIGCOV. You cannot ignore what NORG says about SIGCOV for an organisation and rely on a lack of clarity in GNG to pass something on a string of trivial mentions. The question is always what encyclopaedic article can be written from the sources. Cunard gives us 3 sources. Yes, it looks like more, but Cunard knows, and carefully numbered them 1-3, that multiple articles from a single source count as one source when considering notability against GNG. Now if we look at the three sources we see that:
- The Republican is a Springfield local newspaper. All the coverage is on the school building programme. We do get the acreage of the site and knowledge that this school opened in 2015. Newspaper coverage of the opening and things like residents voting to borrow money to pay for it etc. are WP:PRIMARYNEWS, local interest and provide no depth about the school. It fills a set of facts but I do not see any of those meeting GNG.
- The Recorder covers Greenfield and the whole of the county, but is again a local paper. The coverage looks routine to me, but there is a little more here. This is in depth about a principal [15] but says almost nothing about the school. This one is about the drama club [16] which is relevant to school life, and I would be interested in a discussion as to how that could meet SIGCOV. To me, it looks routine that a local paper talks abaout a school drama, but there is, at least, something to discuss there. This covereage of an appeal to policy makers [17] doesn't look due to me and contains no SIGCOV of the school. So again, I do not see how any of this meets GNG.
- WWLP is a local TV news channel. A short piece saying they will hold a graduation with social distancing. [18] That is routine/trivial coverage. Also, again, note that this is very much a primary source, so does not count towards GNG. A report about how a local school will be conducting graduation is unequivocally a primary source.
- Now to meet GNG, you need multiple sources with significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. This is not that. GNG is not met based on these three local news sources. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:24, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- Then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, and wait and see what others have to say. Left guide (talk) 08:38, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with Left guide's analysis about how WP:SIGCOV—not WP:ORGDEPTH—is the applicable guideline for a non-profit educational institution like Greenfield High School. These sources provide significant coverage about the subject. This is demonstrated through both the quotes I've shared and Left guide's excellent summary of the different aspects of the school covered by the sources. These are secondary sources as they contain a "synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources" (WP:SECONDARY). Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline does not require the sources to be non-local. It does not require the sources to be non-routine. Cunard (talk) 09:01, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- We all agree that SIGCOV is applicable. And SIGCOV is, by definition, not trivial coverage. And no, WWLP telling its viewers that the local school will be holding a social distanced graduation is a primary source for the school. There is no synthesis, it is reporting. See WP:PRIMARYNEWS, and, indeed WP:PRIMARY especially note d. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:28, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- If you look at the size and volume of the quotes provided by Cunard, it's far above and beyond trivial coverage. Trivial coverage would be if the main story is about something fundamentally different and the school is mentioned incidentally. For example, if there was coverage of a bank robbery that said
Officer Smith sped past Greenfield High School on the way to the bank.
That's trivial coverage. The sources provided here are clearly focused on the school in a direct, in-depth manner, and thus SIGCOV is satisfied. (Hint: the name "Greenfield High School" is in virtually all of the titles, usually a strong indicator of SIGCOV) Left guide (talk) 10:59, 2 October 2024 (UTC)- I did look at the sources, and I discussed them above. But apparently we want to talk about meta issues and not the sources. I specifically indicated one I would be happy to discuss as to how it meets SIGCOV. I cannot see that any of them meet GNG though, let alone multiple. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:09, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

- Most of those sources are routine coverage in the local newspaper. If that coverage counted towards NORG or GNG every local business would meet NORG or GNG.Lavalizard101 (talk) 17:55, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- That source assessment is clearly problematic as I had already reminded you that, per WP:SIGCOV
There are three sources there, not 10. The three sources are the Recorder, The Republican and WWLP news. All of these are local news. Also, sources should be secondary sources, and you have not considered that point at all. Why didn't you consider these points? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.
- As Cunard says, there's no requirement in GNG for sources to be non-routine or non-local, so not sure why that argument continues to re-appear. Also, most local businesses have to meet both NORG and GNG, which is a significantly higher threshold, but WP:NSCHOOL allows public schools to be exempt from NORG if they pass GNG, and this is a public school. I split up the table into ten sections for ease of table construction and readability. The "significant coverage" section in particular would be incomprehensible if source text from multiple publications was lumped together. Primary sources in terms of news mainly refers to breaking news, as in events that happened live or just yesterday or the past few days per WP:PRIMARY:
I don't have the time right now do a sentence-by-sentence analysis of all of the sources, but if I did, it would show there is very little primary news reporting. For some of the sources, it's only in the first one or two sentences, and for others it's none. Left guide (talk) 20:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)For Wikipedia's purposes, breaking news stories are also considered to be primary sources.

- Why are we artificially raising the notability bar by using the NORG source table rather than the GNG table? It has already been established in WP:NSCHOOL that public schools only have to meet GNG. Note how the two keep !votes from folks largely uninvolved have affirmed notability via the topic's compliance with GNG. Left guide (talk) 20:30, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- It is an NORG table, because a school is an organisation and those are the relevant subject notability guidelines. It does not matter though, because NORG says
these criteria, generally, follow the general notability guideline
. The only difference in the table is there is a specific column for primary/secondary sources, rather than including that consideration in SIGCOV. But GNG is quite clear on that point, saying:"Sources" should be secondary sources

- Another source: Greenfield Gazette (page 41, published in 1892), quoted as follows:
THE GREENFIELD HIGH SCHOOL.
In March, 1852, an article was inserted in the warrant for the annual town meeting to see if the town would raise a sum of money for the support of a High school, as required by the revised statutes, and to build or purchase a school house. The matter was referred to a committee, Geo. Grinnell, W. T. Davis, Daniel W. Alvord, H.C. Newton and John J. Graves, who reported the following year. The law required that every town containing 500 families should maintain a school in which, in addition to the branches of learning usually taught in the common district schools, "instruction should be given in the history of the United States, book-keeping, surveying, geometry and algebra," and that such school should be kept for the benefit of all the inhabitants of the town, ten months at least, exclusive of vacations, at such convenient places in the town as the inhabitants shall at their convenience determine. The committee reported that no time should be lost in acting upon the matter, and recommended that an arrangement, if practicable, be made by the town with the village school district, for a lease of one or more rooms in the schoolhouse to be used for the High school for the larger part of the year, and that a like arrangement be made with the proprietors of the house for a select school near the North Brick meetinghouse, for the other portion of the year-this arrangement to continue for such time as the town should decide.
This plan, however, was not carried out until 1855, when a High school was organized. A small room was obtained, capapable of containing, said the school committee in their report, but not accommodating forty scholars. The schoolroom was fitted up in what was known as Davis' hall, in as cheap a manner as possible, as a temporary arrangement. Mr. Lather B. Lincoln of Deerfield was employed as the first teacher, at a salary of $50 a month. The school in this location was successful. In the autumn months it was removed to the hall in the schoolhouse at Nash's mill, "from a desire," said the committee, "of accommodating a larger number of our fellow citizens." "Here," continue the committee, "the terms of admission were modified, and a class of youth gained admittance whose objects and aims were in many respects foreign to the business of a schoolroom, and as a consequence much precious time was wasted, and the hopes of many were disappointed."
At the close of that term, the school was resumed at its old location in District No. 1. But the principal having been chosen to a seat in the Legislature, resigned, and Charles F. Vent was selected to succeed him. The expenses of the school for the first year were $696.14. In the school year of '56-7, the school was moved from Davis' ball to a room in the house of the Misses Stone. It opened with fifty scholars, all that could be accommodated, and a number were refused admission, for want of room. The town appropriated 8000 for the High school, and at the end of thirty-two weeks it was closed for want of less than $200, which was required to complete the term of forty weeks prescribed by law.
March 2, 1857, action was taken by the town relative to the selection of a location and the building of a house for a High school. Henry W. Clapp, H. C. Newton and Albert Smead were the committee previously appointed and they reported in favor of a location on Chapman street, and submitted a plan for a schoolhouse, 36 by 40 feet, built of wood, two stories high, which should have room for 140 scholars-70 in each of the two rooms– with "large entries for each sex." The cost was not to exceed $4000. A vote was passed in accordance with the recommendation. Rufus Howland was the chairman of the committee who had the construction in charge, and the entire cost of building and furnishing was $5240.
The Chapman street building was used for the High school until the new building was erected on Pleasant street, in 1872. The building committee having in charge the erection of the latter were C. C. Conant, A. C. Deane and D. H. Newton. The cost was $21,327.16.

- This is interesting, because every source provided to date has suggested the school opened in 2015. If the school has been there for 150 years it is much more likely to be notable. You will note my comment of 27 September regarding a Greenfield High School for young ladies that was mentioned. But what we have not established yet is that these are the same establishment. Has the same school existed for all this time and been rebuilt in 2015? Or was there an earlier high school that existed and ceased to exist? The above source itself is primary, but I would expect there would be much more on the school if it did have such a long history. Note to closer - Request a relist so that we can pursue this. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 06:59, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Well actually no, the school didn't open brand new in 2015, and the previous sources don't seem to explicitly suggest that either. At least a few mention an "existing" or "present" school. If you read this source initially furnished by Cunard above, it says
The project calls for the existing high school to be razed except for the auditorium. The new building will be constructed around that.
It also goes on to sayAt a little less than 160,000 square feet, the new building will be about 6,000 square feet smaller than the present high school.
So there is evidence that this big construction project about a decade ago involved the near-total demolition of the original school while preserving its auditorium, and the new one was built on the same site. For our purposes, it's the same school. Left guide (talk) 07:25, 4 October 2024 (UTC)- That does not say that the replacement school is the same entity. But again, all that is required is to discover sources that show otherwise. I would be particularly interested to see if there were a centenary celebration. Such events usually attract histories, and the history would be both secondary and extremely useful. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:30, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
That does not say that the replacement school is the same entity.
This is bordering on pedantry. The sources say that the same exact project involved the demolition of the old version and the construction of the new version which was built on the same exact site, with the same auditorium being part of both versions. At some point, we have to exercise some common sense and editorial discretion. We can't expect sources to satisfy us 100% over the most mundane qualms someone can create, or they would be unreadably long; this seems like "sky is blue" territory. Left guide (talk) 08:17, 4 October 2024 (UTC)- Welcome to the joy of working with primary sources. Your proposed synthesis is probably right, although there are examples where it could be wrong. I started typing one such example out but I don't see the point of deflecting discussion on a meta argument about what constitutes the entity. The point remains that the sources we have are not up to scratch, but if the school is the same school that has been in existence since 1852 (and we still do not know this) then I believe we will find sources with some more digging. We could keep arguing, or we could search for the sources with some hope now that this will be fruitful. Which would you like me to do? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:05, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:30, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- I also disagree with the claim that it's a primary source. That source was published in 1892, and chronicles history between 1852 and 1872, so between 20 and 40 years prior. That would be like if something published today chronicled the history of a school between 1984 and 2004, certainly far enough removed to be a secondary source. On another note, newspapers.com shows 97,401 results for "Greenfield High School" in the state of Massachusetts (out of 175,662 total results for the term worldwide), but I don't have a subscription, might be helpful if someone who does can examine the coverage available there.

- Hi, many of this artist’s coverage is in German. As I mentioned above, I respectfully believe the sources do in fact meet the criteria for RS. Monocle, Vogue, INDIE magazine, and Interview are all highly reputable and reliable sources that establish noteworthiness, especially within the artist’s existing niche- as well as extremely high profile campaigns for ZALANDO. I would kindly request that you reconsider the delete vote, or perhaps share any requirements that in your eyes satisfy the criteria so that I can amend the article to meet your standards for this not to be deleted. 93.40.185.121 (talk) 22:46, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Wolfram has a feature article covering pages 28 to 33 on the July 2020 issue of DJ Mag: [20]. This is firmly in WP:RSMUSIC territory; with the journalist likening Wolfram to an electronic version of Mozart ("El Amadeus electronico"). Therefore, coupled with the Vogue coverage alone, I rather suspect the subject is very likely notable. The article itself, however, appears to be a prime candidate for WP:TNT as it is largely WP:PUFFERY. ResonantDistortion 08:30, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

- Keep or Speedy keep per WP:CSK#1b. There is no new deletion rationale presented in this nomination compared to the previous one which was closed as keep. The sources cited by Cunard are literally identical to those listed in the previous nomination, and multiple Wikipedians have already reviewed and affirmed that these sources are sufficient to meet GNG. Deletion is not cleanup. I do not see a point to delete/drafity an article when numerous usable sources are already presented. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 14:49, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: If the article should be keep, the statements and the sources should be move to Jason Gunawan wikipedia article. It is very uncomfortable to see the article with that statement: "Jason Gunawan is a Hong Kong badminton player." In other words, if i just look at the statement, there is nothing special about the subject. But, i still in my opinion to draft this article.

This is a vanity article for a little-known freelance writer. His only claim to fame is drawing widespread mockery and condemnation for his book about wearing blackface across the United States. Much more notable Canadian journalists do not have Wikipedia pages, and the achievements listed are negligible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrashPandaMan (talk • contribs)

- Keep - The person who nominated this article for deletion clearly has a personal issue with the subject, Sam Forster, who is obviously a notable public figure. Just because an author is controversial, like Sam Forster is, that doesn't mean a well-sourced article about him should be removed. Sam Forster seems like a fairly normal, likable journalist, who happened to create an avant-garde book, and it seems like he is being maliciously attacked here. Violetpennington (talk) 07:26, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Keep - The critique overlooks the broader context of Sam Forster's contributions to the public discourse. While it's true that not every writer or journalist gains widespread recognition overnight, dismissing someone's work solely based on their level of fame or controversial moments is short-sighted. Forster’s book, which has indeed sparked debate, addresses sensitive and complex issues, and the ensuing reactions—both positive and negative—demonstrate that his work has provoked meaningful conversations.
It's essential to recognize that public figures who challenge societal norms often face harsh criticism, but that doesn't diminish the value of their contributions. Many notable figures throughout history were initially met with ridicule before their work was acknowledged as significant. Forster's willingness to tackle uncomfortable topics is an important part of his role as a writer. Furthermore, Wikipedia is a platform that reflects public interest, and Forster's coverage there simply mirrors the fact that his work, controversial or not, has sparked significant public attention.
Additionally, comparing Forster to other Canadian journalists based on fame is a false equivalence. The presence or absence of a Wikipedia page is not a measure of a person’s accomplishments, nor does it negate the relevance of their work. It's important to focus on the substance of what a writer has contributed to discussions, rather than focusing on how well-known they are or how their work has been received in certain circles.
---
This approach emphasizes the importance of intellectual discourse, the value of confronting complex societal issues, and challenges the assumptions about fame equating to worth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daves598 (talk • contribs) 01:15, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment - As a private hospital, this needs to meet WP:NCORP per the nom. "Did not do a Google search" will not cut it here. We need multiple independent reliable secondary sources (per WP:SIRS) that meet WP:CORPDEPTH. There are some articles about the hospital, but what we don't have is anything that significantly discusses the hospital itself, and allows an article to be written. There is some stuff about Lakewood joining UCI that I see, but at this stage I haven't seen anything that meets CORPDEPTH. Leaning delete but leaving this as a comment for now, in the hope something can be found. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:43, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

- Yes, but a delsort is not a Wikiproject. Delsorts are there to flag a case so that editors with an interest will be aware of the AfD and can come to comment. This hospital is a private business venture and very much falls within NCORP guidelines. If editors are not interested in hospitals, they'll ignore it.

- Draftify: The arguments to keep this article all have merit, but in it's present state, it fails WP:GNG.

- Delete – No sources presented for WP:V, and there is not even a related article in Serbian for comparison. The keep votes did not bring in any new sources. Svartner (talk) 01:14, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete or Draft Valid nomination, but some of the processes here, why the article was revived and not improve seems to be a red flag. Because the article hasn't been improved and it's been nine days since my last comment and I can't see any validity why this should be kept. I have no qualms for it going to draft space, but that feels like it would die there. The keep arguments above haven't provided any source material for this to be kept either.

The result was no consensus. But also wanted to correct an apparent misunderstanding. Yes notable topics can get deleted under A7.. A7 requires a claim of notability to be declined and for the subject to head to PROD or AfD. They are different processes and A7 is not relevant at AFD, GNG and its sub-guidelines are. Deletion is not based on what is in the article text, but whether an article can be improved. That said, there is no strong consensus here. Suggest efforts be made to improve the article before re-nominating it. Star Mississippi 17:35, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Article makes no claim to encyclopedic importance. It should have been speedy deleted per WP:A7 but it was oddly declined. Being a student and in a program that trains opera singers does not make one encyclopedic. 4meter4 (talk) 02:55, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep Thank you, 4meter4, but as a long-term editor, one would expect you to at least follow WP:BEFORE before an AfD nom. Fagan was a student in 2016, some eight years ago. She is now a successful soprano. For example, she sang Musetta in La bohème at Covent Garden earlier this year. A simple search of Google News turns up plenty of results. AfD is not clean-up. Edwardx (talk) 09:25, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Edwardx WP:SPEEDY is different than a WP:GNG deletion rationale. The article still fails to make a credible encyclopedic claim in its current state and should be deleted under A7. SPEEDY is cleanup for articles that don’t meet a basic level of stub competency. Please read A7 which specifically excludes notability as a relevant issue. Yes notable topics can get deleted under A7.4meter4 (talk) 13:26, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- @4meter4 Your CSD nom was declined. AfD is not for relitigating declined CSDs. Different criteria apply at AfD. You need to make a different argument. Edwardx (talk) 13:47, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- No. That argument is WP:WIKILAWYERING and a subversion of both deletion policy and WP:CONSENSUS. It was the wrong call to not delete this article under A7 which doesn't make a credible encyclopedic claim. It's perfectly valid to seek community consensus to overturn a bad decision made by an editor who ignored A7 policy. If you want the encyclopedia to keep this article than I suggest you edit the article to meet a basic level of encyclopedic competence so A7 isn't valid. Otherwise, we don't keep articles on WP:BLPs that don't make a credible claim of encyclopedic importance no matter how many sources we find because WP:Notability is not relevant under A7 which is policy.4meter4 (talk) 13:52, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- If you think it "was the wrong call to not delete this article under A7", then why have you not raised this at User talk:asilvering? It was their call, not mine. Edwardx (talk) 14:06, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- That should be obvious. It's better to use the WP:CONSENSUS process when there is a difference of opinions. That's wikipedia community policy, and WP:AFD is the community forum to discuss deletions. FYI WP:SPEEDY policy gets used at AFD with some frequency. It's not like this is an out of the norm conversation. Not all AFDs involve just WP:N. Best.4meter4 (talk) 14:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- On a side note, the tone of the comments here is overly terse and accusatory. You might want to try WP:AGF and actually look at A7 policy objectively. You can't seriously be telling me that an article telling us someone went to a music school and got into a training program for opera singers is encyclopedic.4meter4 (talk) 14:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. It seems like none of the keep voters are engaging with WP:A7 as policy. If the current in article text remains unaltered and we close this as keep, this will be a prime candidate fro WP:DELETIONREVIEW. We either follow deletion policy or we don't. It's that simple.

- Musetta in La bohème at the Royal Opera House 2024. Reviewed in i: The Paper For Today by Jessica Duchen "but any chemistry between these two was a tad outshone by that of Marcello and Musetta - baritone Mikhail Timoshenko and soprano Lauren Fagan (replacing Danielle de Niese) - who blended seriously impressive singing with uninhibited sensuality to magnificent effect." and in The Times by Neil Fisher "In a hairpin turn from having just sung Gretel in Hansel and Gretel at this address, Lauren Fagan’s take-no-prisoners Musetta is irresistible, having great fun with the physical comedy (watch out for the flying knickers) but also giving this good-time girl a stature she often lacks." and in The Observer by Fiona Maddox "As the quarrelsome Musetta and Marcello, the Australian soprano Lauren Fagan and the Russian baritone Mikhail Timoshenko revelled in disputation, as well as attracting sympathy." and in the Express by William Hartston "Covent Garden audiences last saw Fagan as Gretel in the Christmas production Hansel and Gretel, but Musetta's knickers-removing antics at the Cafe Momus are gloriously accomplished and strikingly more adult." "All of the leading parts are well sung, with Ruzan Mantashyan and Lauren Fagan particularly excellent."
- Margarita in Ainadamar at Theatre Royal then Edinburgh Festival Theatre 2022 reviewed in the Times by Simon Thompson "Soprano Lauren Fagan is the actress Margarita, singing the opening scenes with a deep chest voice but scaling gleaming heights for Margarita’s final apotheosis." and in The National by Stewart Ward "Thus is the scene set for an opera comprised of totemic episodes from the artistic life of Lorca (played with wonderful sympathy by the American mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey) and Margarita Xirgu, the actor-director who was Lorca’s great collaborator and champion (performed with a truly Spanish passion by the Australian soprano Lauren Fagan)." and in The Herald (Glasgow) by Keith Bruce "But others will surely single out Lauren Fagan's equally commanding Margarita or the beautiful voice of Colombian soprano Julieth Lozano as Nuria, and it would be foolish to argue." and in The Daily Telegraph by Nicholas Kenyon "As Margarita (a role conceived for Dawn Upshaw), Lauren Fagan is superbly forceful in a part that reaches high both in range and in passion." and more
- Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream Glyndebourne 2023 reviewed in The Times by Richard Morrison "When anger erupts among the drugged lovers (an excellent quartet of Caspar Singh, Rachael Wilson, Samuel Dale Johnson and Lauren Fagan), there is an alarming degree of vitriol in their voices and body language." and Financial Times by Richard Fairman "The four mortals — Lauren Fagan, Rachael Wilson, Caspar Singh and Samuel Dale Johnson, all good — are fired up when Wilson's Hermia lets fly in their quarrel." (Also Daily Mail * 2 but that's not liked by Wikipedia, excessively I think for some things like this but that's not for here)
- Violetta in La Traviata'm at Her Majesty’s Theatre (Adelaide). Article in Iannella, Antimo (2022-02-27). "Prodigal's return for star role". Sunday Mail (Adelaide). and article in "Prodigal's return for star role". The Advertiser (Adelaide). 2022-07-22. and review in Shaw, Ewart (2022-08-29). "Something to sing about". The Advertiser (Adelaide). "Lauren Fagan, as Violetta, is beautiful, and the range of her music and emotion is fearless. At every moment, in triumph and despair, she holds the audience's attention like a star."
- also worth noting Gretel in Hansel And Gretel Royal Opera House 2023. Reviewed in Mail on Sunday by David Mellor "It has been much commented on that, at last, it's being done here in English. But some of the singers have poor diction, like Australian Lauren Fagan's Gretel. She might as well have been singing in Serbo-Croat."

Fails notability, almost everything in this article is not correct. he probably won some medals in some random tournaments but he never even participated in World or Asian Championships, let alone winning medals. this is more like a fake article trying to promote someone with no major achievement.

Very strong keep: List or not. Bolletinen has one of the strongest sports online databases in Swedish. J 1982 (talk) 07:02, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: It will be great if you can help add some references in Swedish to improve the article and prove the club's notability! Lâm (talk) 08:46, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- It has already been done with the Bolletinen source. "Maratontabell för högsta damserien 1978–2003" means "all-time table for the women's top division 1978–2003". J 1982 (talk) 11:12, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment That the publisher is reliable (which I think it most likely is) is not the only criterion for notability, though. That the club appears in a table doesn't make it notable per WP:NTEAM. I do find a bit of coverage of the table tennis section, e.g. [28] and [29] – though I wonder whether those newspapers might be a bit too local to really work towards showing notability. In any case, a) the spelling "Nerikes Kils SK" is more frequent than the spelling with "ä", and b) if the article is kept, it needs a lot of work, and it ought to include more than just a brief mention of the football team in the 1970s. I don't really have an opinion at the moment about its notability. --bonadea contributions talk 14:25, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete there only appears to be a single source, the biography which is cited but appears to be behind a paywall. Ldm1954 (talk) 11:10, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. The source might be accessible via https://biografiasampo.fi/henkilo/p1599 The bio is quite extensive, and some additional sources are cited, but most of them are by the same author who wrote the National Biography entry so I don't think those contribute much to notability (and we don't know the contents). I searched some Finnish sources and did not find any mentions of her (except a one-sentence mention in a newspaper column commenting on the National Biography).

Fails notability, not a famous person. never did anything special. for example the article says he won a silver in speed skating!? a silver in what competition ? the rest of his achievements look a bit fake or exaggerated. it feels like he just paid someone to create an article here for him.
