I was going to BLAR this article to Fringe (TV series), but saw that it was previously kept at AfD (albeit in 2011), so I'm erring on the side of caution. This fan wiki fails WP:WEBCRIT and WP:GNG. The site lacks sustained, significant coverage in reliable sources. All of the sources were published between 2008 and 2011. Source evaluation:
- Ref 1 is a direct link to the site.
- Ref 2 states, regarding the wiki, in full: "Meanwhile, fans of the show have set up the mandatory, unofficial databank, Fringepedia. Same rules apply for entries there as with any wiki site."
- Ref 3 states, regarding the wiki, in full: "War over edits to Astrid's page: Have an hour or six to waste? You might want to dig into Fringepedia. Take a dip in the pool of collective knowledge. Help figure out what the images that lead into or out of each commercial break denote. Meticulously catalog every narcotic Walter professes to take. Or just spell-check every instance of 'Fibonacci Sequence.' It's fun for everyone."
- Ref 4 appears to have a couple of brief mentions of Fringepedia that note that it's a wiki for the show, but without much more than that.
I have been unable to find additional reliable sources providing significant coverage.
Note that I am in the process of creating List of fan wikis (currently a draft in my userspace), but the WP:LISTCRIT is WP:CSC #1 (all entries meet WP:GNG. The intention is to prevent list cruft and an entry for every single fan wiki on Fandom), so merging would not be appropriate. Additionally, I don't think that merging to Fringe (TV series) would be due. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:50, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Delete per well-reasoned argument by nominator. The LA Times and Wired mentions provide verifiability for maybe a line about Fringepedia in the Fringe (TV series) article, but aren't the significant coverage necessary for independent notability. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 06:37, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

A recent stub about an engineering company vice president, for a company which does not have Wikipedia article, and that's all it says. I removed unsourced claims about her previous unspecified employment with another company (which does have an article), and the high school she supposedly attended. No in depth coverage of her found, just passing mentions. No apparent notability. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. Note that this article appears to have been created to avoid a red link in a high school article since it was created minutes after the person was added as an alumnus. Not a WP:BLPPROD candidate since her current position is sourced. I'm assuming that a claim of being a vice president is enough of a credible claim of significance to avoid WP:A7.

Delete: Done BEFORE, but found zero sources that can make the subject notable; fails WP:GNG and WP:NFILM. GrabUp - Talk 14:23, 22 August 2024 (UTC)- Changing my vote to Redirect; it will be okay to do. GrabUp - Talk 04:42, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Saran, S., Alvi, Ten Years with Guru Dutt: Abrar Alvi's Journey (Penguin, 2008) has a paragraph about the film. Notable cast, director and music director. Anyway a redirect to the director is totally warranted, so very opposed to this being deleted. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 15:39, 22 August 2024 (UTC) (Given the improvements made to the article, and as I explain below, I must clarify: I am not in favour of a Redirect either and think a plain Keep is the fairest outcome for this type of films, even if the current coverage and state of the page are still very much improvable. The film appears clearly notable in my opinion).-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 23:54, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete or Redirect to Kishore_Kumar_filmography#1946_to_1960. 3 sources on the page. Source 1 only says when the movie was scheduled to be released. Source 2 has nothing on the film. Source 3 has a very brief passing mention about film and not enough to pass notability. Page fails WP:GNG and WP:NFILM. RangersRus (talk) 18:38, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect - One source is not enough to keep, but given it is verifiable, a redirect target is appropriate.--CNMall41 (talk) 23:29, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I hope the redirect target were referring to here is the one RangerRus proposed which seems to be a reasonable ATD. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 05:34, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This article has significantly changed since its AfD nomination. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 00:46, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: The article now has way more sources than other film articles from 1959. Most of the film's songs were hits and have relevance till now, which can be seen by a WP:BEFORE search or from the sources I added in the Music section. I believe we have two full-length reviews in major publications, which I have added to the reception section. FWIW, the film and its songs are mentioned in the biographies of Kishore Kumar, Madan Mohan, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 12:10, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: After reviewing new changes and sources, I still believe that page fails WP:NFILM. Some sources are unreliable and the others have a very very brief passing mention and some almost look like just entries. Source 1 only says when the movie was scheduled to be released. Source 2 is Google book by unreliable self publication (Hay House) and have very brief passing mention. Source 3 is biography on Kishore Kumar and has passing mention. Source 4 is on biography of Om Prakash and has passing mention. Source 5 (Cinemaazi) is biography on Anoop Kumar Ganguly and is unreliable source where disclaimer clearly mentions that it does not warranty on accuracy and completeness. Source 6 (Bangalore Mirror) is interview with singer Lata Mangeshkar and has passing mention. Source 7 (Seniors Today) is about Lata Mangeshkar and has passing mention and is also unreliable as the site provides senior citizens with health information, practical strategies to improve their physical, mental and emotional well-being. Source 8 (scroll.in) is about Asha Bhonsle and has passing mention. Source 9 (Tribune) is about Kishore Kumar and has passing mention. Source 10 (Gaana.com) has list of songs to listen from the film. Source 11 (Google book) published by unreliable self publishing company, Notion Press, has passing mention. Source 12 (allmusic.com) is list of songs just like source 10 to listen to. Source 13 is Google snippet and impossible to verify the complete page that shows just passing mention. Source 14 is also Google snippet by FilmiIndia who self published using own FilmiIndia Publication company and regardless of self publication, verification of entire page is impossible. Source 15 (Google book) has very brief passing mention. There is not a single full fledged source with indepth coverage on the film. RangersRus (talk) 21:30, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Even if that assessment was correct (I don't think that what you call passing mentions are all passing mentions, for example), the film would still meet WP:NFILM's inclusionary criteria#2 "The film features significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of their career." being a big success (among other things) in the career of (various) (very) notable persons, don't you think? I don't think it is fair to delete or even redirect, to be completely honest, a page with that many mentions (with some including short but significant critical appraisal) in various sources, some being more reliable and/or significant than other, true. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 23:48, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- NFILM#2 may apply but that criteria is prefaced with "The following are attributes that generally indicate, when supported with reliable sources, that the required sources are likely to exist" - This does not mean it is automatically notable. It still needs the significant coverage. I would be willing to change my !vote to Keep should someone supply a list of those sources. I currently don't find any. --CNMall41 (talk) 02:02, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep as there are reviews such as Film India which although in snippet view is titled as a film review which suggests significant coverage, together with a number of mentions for this 1959 pre-internet film which really needs to be researched offline, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:25, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:15, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Redirect.The page creator had a track record of creating articles on every single obscure reformed denomination regardless of notability before his block, often using highly unreliable sources. The source used in almost all of these, http://www.reformiert-online.net/, is WP:USERGENERATED ("reformed online does not accept any responsibility for the correctness and completeness of the information."). However, some of what's on it appears to be based on a standard reference work by Bauswein and Vischer, and you can see all these denominations in this AfD listed on pages 297 to 334. So, these denominations exist (or did at one point), but I can't find any WP:SIGCOV, in English anyway, beyond a description in Bauswein and Vischer. I recommend redirecting each one that doesn't pass WP:NORG to Presbyterianism in South Korea, which may well be all of them. Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:28, 22 August 2024 (UTC)- Delete all. Some of the denominations might be notable, no bias against re-creation if there are sources beyond reformiert-online. But right now, none of these meet the minimum requirements for sourcing or verifiability; I'm not certain some of them ever existed. Walsh90210 (talk) 22:36, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Obviously a majority of these exist. But the sourcing is poor enough I would not be surprised if a few errors crept in. Presbyterian Church in Korea (HoHun II) (which probably should be listed) and Presbyterian Church in Korea (HoHun III) have sources for the other name; as both articles say almost nothing it isn't terribly important. Are the "II" and "III" distinctions just the creation of reformiert? I don't know. There isn't enough for many of these articles to remain even as a redirect. Walsh90210 (talk) 17:30, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- They exist (or existed); see the standard reference work (Bauswein and Vischer, The Reformed Family Worldwide) here: https://archive.org/details/reformedfamilywo0000unse/. I sincerely doubt that most of them would pass WP:GNG, but a redirect would preserve the history should other editors be able to resurrect them with reliable sourcing. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:37, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Strong oppose mass deletion. Per Atlantic306's comment, the onus is on the nominator to research before nominating for deletion. Per WP:SIGCOV, any language source should count; I strongly doubt anyone here searched in the Korean language. I'm nearly certain at least one of those branches will be notable. Heads up that I am South Korean and a Korean speaker, and I have no reason to suspect that some of the organizations have never existed per Walsh90210's claim. The Presbyterian church is infamously fractured in South Korea; it is the subject of scholarly research in the country, and Christian newspapers regularly cover their drama. There are hundreds of these splinter groups, some of which are more notable than others (most aren't, I suspect). seefooddiet (talk) 07:45, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- I don't recall which one it was, but I successfully defended one such article (may or may not be in this list) from deletion a few months ago. It may or may not be in this list. But if I've saved at least one of these articles in the past, it's probable that I can do it again. I don't think a mass deletion is appropriate. seefooddiet (talk) 07:48, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- WP:BEFORE recommended me to check interlingual links: I don’t think any of them is notable to have a corresponding article on kowiki either. Note that one Korean language source you cited in a previous AfD deals exclusively with the change in personnel and falls under ORGTRIV. Northern Moonlight 10:42, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Could you link the prev AFD? seefooddiet (talk) 17:04, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ok nvm I found it, it's the one for YeJangHapBo. Also this source, from the major The Chosun Ilbo, is substantial on YeJangHapBo. If anything this just cements my point: making these broad claims about the kowiki and notability is not enough. Each one needs to be researched. Continue to strong oppose. seefooddiet (talk) 18:30, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Are you sure the source you cited is actually substantial on YeJangHapBo? Northern Moonlight 18:45, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- ?? Is this a facetious question? Do you have a different perception of it? Moreover, even if you find a crack in this one source, the fact that we're even debating this topic is not helpful to your overall cause. The takeaway should be that it's not 100% clear that every one of these nominations will be valid. Neither you or I know for certain the notability of all of these pages, therefore we should abstain from mass deletion. seefooddiet (talk) 19:10, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

- It usually pays off to be nicer to one's colleagues. Anyhow, I failed to find in this source anything resembling WP:SIGCOV. Викидим (talk) 22:38, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Northern Moonlight Ok, egg on my face and full apology. I'm sorry. It wasn't my intent in this thread to be rude but reading it back I can see how it came off that way. I'm also not sure if that source genuinely is substantial enough, you made the correct call.
- What I do stand by is that normally we should investigate each branch before this kind of mass deletion. seefooddiet (talk) 23:05, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: Currently, there are at least more than 200 churches in South Korea that use the name "Presbyterian Church of Korea" (대한예수장로회) as their official names (hence the confusing article names). These church branches are only disambiguated by a succinct nickname, such as "Hapdong", "Tonghap", or "Hapdongbosu" (although they may use different names in English, like Hapdong, for instance). According to some sources it appears that there are four major lineages of PCK branches: Koshin(branched off from the original PCK in 1952), Kijang(branched off in 1957), Tonghap and Hapdong (the original PCK split into these two in 1959). The rest of the branches have descended from the four after 1959. [1][2] Since none of the four major branches have been listed for AfD, would it be possible to merge each AfD'd article to one of the four major branches, depending on where they descended from? -- 00101984hjw (talk) 03:42, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Procedural keep. Too massive nomination. The amount of work to verify every church's notability in Korean sources is beyond what can be reasonably (let alone fairly) expected from competent and willing users. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 00:41, 26 August 2024 (UTC)Thank you.
- Procedural keep: I don't support deleting 60+ articles on the presumption that they maybe aren't notable. No research at all has been done for most of the articles. If even one or two are notable then we have made a mistake. C F A 💬 19:44, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Procedural keep: I already believed these should not be deleted, and now I am convinced by other editors that redirecting is not the best approach with a nomination of this volume. However, I would ask the closer to close this with WP:NPASR and/or with no prejudice against WP:BLARing any of these where appropriate and where editors cannot find appropriate sources. My recommendation for after this closes is either to redirect the majority of these to Presbyterianism in South Korea or to, as 00101984hjw, a list article yet to be created; this can be accomplished through WP:BOLD mergers and redirection or through proposed mergers if controversial, with (hopefully) no need to return to AfD.

Nominated as there is nothing here to assert notability. The four WP:RS are too little to establish notability.
The NTY source is difficult to read through a paywall and do not seem to focus heavily on the team to establish notability. sailsporttalk only focuses on one of the sailors with a tiny part on the team.

- Keep Thank you for taking the time to review this page. I agree and take your point regarding this page relying heavily on WP:PRIMARY and currently only having two WP:RS. This risks the page failing to meet notability standard based on Wikipedia:Common_sourcing_mistakes_(notability).

No demonstration of meeting notability per GNG. Have never won or held any notable elected position.

(Subject org, effectively a "branch" of CWI formerly known as "CWI Ireland", hasn't been seen sufficient coverage in independent sources. To the extent that stand-alone notability is not established. What coverage there has been seems to be mostly in sources associated with CWI and/or other CWI "branches". In Enlgand, Scotland, etc. Even establishing basic facts (about the orgs formation/etc) necessitates reliance on primary sources. Which is far from ideal.

I don't have access to the German books in the "further reading" - they seem to be the usual manuals that are published to support a piece of software. I don't know if those are considered for notability - they would primarily be "how-to" and that is about the software but I don't know if those can be used to support notability.

I don’t believe this album passes WP:NALBUM. There are apparently plenty of refs but many are now 404 and many others aren’t actually about the subject at all. Lack of in depth coverage in reliable independent sources. Mccapra (talk) 21:31, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Comprehensively fails WP:NBASIC, WP:ANYBIO and WP:NBUSINESSPERSON. There is nothing to indicate that "Skymit Motors Ltd" is notable in its own right. The article's tone has been chatty and promotional from the first revision (nearly a decade ago), to a point where I'm fairly sure it's a paid advert.

I still think the award warrants keeping under ANYBIO.I do agree with Necrothesp that the title should be changed if/when the article is retained. Looking at that list, btw, most of the holders of the office are wikilinked. I'm didn't and I'm not going to make a WP:WHATABOUT argument, but you'd need to look closely at all of those bios if you thought this one was problematic; they all have similar levels of WP:ROUTINE coverage. At any rate, my !vote was and remains based on ANYBIO. Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:00, 23 August 2024 (UTC)- I ran through some of the wikilinks on the other officers on the page and they are well sourced with good significant coverage with life, career, education, decorations and that is all the kind of notable coverage I am considering to warrant a full fledged page on the subject. Example Sulkhan Singh. The page nominated for this AFD fails WP:SIGCOV and even the birth date though sourced but cannot even tell out of the many Prashant Kumar in the source, which one it is? that is why I thought maybe a redirect or merge would be better.

- Keep per WP:NBASIC. The individual has received significant coverage from multiple independent reliable sources in the context of multiple events. These include things related to his job ece his public statements, cms earning his master's degree. which is well-attested to by sources. My only lingering concern would be WP:BLP1E, but I don't think he meets either the first criterion or the second criterion (he was certainly high-profile in his role as head of police), so I'm comfortable supporting a keep here. — — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4052:6DB5:4E1E:E854:79CD:AC15:7C77 (talk) 13:11, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Comment One comment said that we was the "winner" of a particular award....the linked article says that it was one in a batch of 827 awards being given out. The noted SNG criteria says that if "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor".....they "are likely to be notable" and that meeting that criteria "does not guarantee that a subject should be included." IMHO, the award misses the mark in both. North8000 (talk) 19:53, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Beside that, can you please highlight the main issue in this article other than the coverage. A league can't be famous in just one season, it needs time, and this league had enough coverage being a new league according to what I saw in the internet and from the residents of West Bengal. Wowlastic10 (talk) 11:23, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Please check the Tamil Nadu Premier League pages, including those dedicated to individual annual editions like the 2022 Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2023 Tamil Nadu Premier League, and 2024 Tamil Nadu Premier League. Separate pages exist for each team as well. Similarly, the Delhi Premier League T20, which is also organized under the directions of Board of Control for Cricket in India BCCI, has gained significant coverage after the successful completion of its seasons. Given this, it would be beneficial for Wikipedia readers to have dedicated pages for each annual edition of the Delhi Premier League T20, as well as individual pages for each team, similar to those for Tamil Nadu Premier League teams like Salem Spartans, Chepauk Super Gillies, and Lyca Kovai Kings.
Note Several Twenty20 pages have existed includimg thier annual leagues for many years, and in my opinion, it is not appropriate to nominate them for deletion.

It appears that certain teams are selectively promoting specific and state-level leagues while pushing for the deletion of others. This practice seems to favor the retention of pages related to their preferred leagues, potentially at the expense of others.
Wikipedia is a global platform that should uphold the principle of equality for all pages that have significant coverage. It's important to ensure that all state and national leagues with significant covearge, regardless of their popularity or backing, are treated fairly and given the opportunity to be represented. Consistent and unbiased application of Wikipedia's guidelines is crucial to maintaining its integrity as a reliable and inclusive source of information. Davidrun99 (talk) 10:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

- @Wowlastic10 not commenting on this but basically what you need is 3 reliable sources with significant coverage; i.e. three news articles from different outlets, independent of the tournament, and not almost-entirely derived from official press releases, giving a couple paragraphs on it would likely work. Strictly you only need "multiple reliable sources" but 3 is the usual amount. I think the article *might* have this now, but I can't tell? Wikipedia notability really isn't supposed to be about how important something is, but how much writing exists on it. Mrfoogles (talk) 19:24, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment, Guidelines / Standards for Establishing Wikipedia Notability for State Cricket Leagues:
In my opinion, establishing clear guidelines for creating Wikipedia articles related to state cricket leagues is essential to ensure they meet the notability criteria and have a lasting presence on the platform. To pass the Wikipedia General Notability Guidelines WP:GNG and retain annual league and team articles, I propose the following criteria:
Completion of Multiple Seasons: State leagues, such as the Tamil Nadu Premier League, should successfully complete at least one to three annual league series. This demonstrates consistency, relevance, and the league’s potential for long-term significance in the cricketing landscape.
Involvement of National Players: The state league should feature at least 10 players who have competed in prestigious events such as the Indian Premier League (IPL), national cricket tournaments, or international matches. The presence of such players not only elevates the league's standard but also increases its notability and media coverage.
Minimum Team Requirement and Broadcast Standards: To align with national and international guidelines, the state cricket league should consist of a minimum of six teams. Additionally, the league should be broadcast live on major sports channels like Star Sports, ESPN, or equivalent platforms. This ensures widespread visibility and demonstrates the league’s significance beyond the local level.
By adhering to these guidelines, we can ensure that Wikipedia articles about state cricket leagues are both notable and valuable resources for readers, reflecting the importance of these leagues in the broader context of cricket. Davidrun99 (talk) 23:50, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Just writing the rules/entry criteria for a tournament doesn't mean that it passes WP:GNG, which is the main criteria for whether an article is kept or not (not any of the rules you're making up on this and similar AFDs). Where is the evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources specifically about this season? Joseph2302 (talk) 07:54, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

We also don't have a central article for the Caspak series, so this article serves an obvious purpose in that it can save the individual book articles a lot of reduplication.

- Redirect to Edgar_Rice_Burroughs#Caspak_series. Current state of article shows no WP:GNG met, and no sources were presented here. Soft deletion with history preserved is a good idea as this has potential to be useful in parts when somebody writes an article about the book series (if it is notable, which has not been demonstrated here, either). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:41, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per nom - The current article is completely unsourced, and searches did not turn up any sources to indicate that the topic passes WP:LISTN. All but one of the characters listed here are stated to have been one-shot characters that appeared in a single book, and that one exception is already described on the main article on the series.

Very few of these entries link to articles, because most have zero notability. Could possibly Redirect to Metal Men#Enemies, but given that the title is an unlikely search term and it does not appear that anything currently redirects to this list, I don't see that as being really necessary.

- Keep: Clearly not autobiographical as has been alleged - the creating editor, @Starklinson:, although they have chosen to remain as a redlinked editor without a userpage, has created and edited a wide range of articles over seven years (in contrast to the nominator of this AfD who appears to be proposing this AfD as their first edit). Appears to be a notable expert in the field, cited in many sources. The disambiguation, needed to distinguish her from Z G (actress), could perhaps be "(migration specialist)" to avoid any perceived subjectivity in "expert", so perhaps Keep and move. PamD 08:33, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Agree with all this including altering the title.Orange sticker (talk) 10:49, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- @PamD, I'm thinking this discussion could end up as being a no consensus outcome. What do you feel about (refugee advocate) as the disambiguation? TarnishedPathtalk 12:03, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- @TarnishedPath Not sure about "advocate". She describes herself on LinkedIn as "migration policy specialist". I think I'd still go with "(migration specialist)", which covers a wider range of activity than "advocate" but avoids the possible puffery of "expert". The category Category:Experts on refugees, which was created in 2015, is slightly odd, with no parent category in a "people by occupation" tree. It's difficult to find a descriptor which fits someone employed in a field, rather than various "activists" categories or disambiguators. PamD 18:03, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- There is no evidence she is a migration 'specialist' or expert. This appears to be a confusion of one sided activism with actual non-partisan knowledge. Working for a pro-immigration ngo for asylum seekers is hardly expertise and this characterisation favours open border policy which is contentious in the public realm.

- Comment I noticed how this was nominated by, and many of the votes are by, new users who have made no other contributions to the project so searched Twitter and it seems the subject of this article made a tweet yesterday that received a lot of attention and then Twitter users brought attention to her Wikipedia page. I've looked to see if there is an appropriate template to flag this AfD but can't find one, but it seems to be this has been nominated in bad faith Orange sticker (talk) 11:12, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's interesting that we don't allow a brand-new editor to create an article in mainspace, but we do allow them to create an AfD. Perhaps this should be reconsidered? PamD 11:43, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- @PamD and @Orange sticker, I've added a {{notavote}} notice. However, I must note that the first and third editors to !vote delete after nomination are editors who have been on Wikipedia 19 years and 9 years respectively, so while there are some IPs voting and the article was nominated by a very new user, I don't think it's completely accurate to state that many of the votes are by new users. TarnishedPathtalk 12:35, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- @TarnishedPath Yes but: did you see the editing history of the 19-year editor? 4 edits since 2019, of which one to their user page, one to their talk page. Not a very active editor. The 9-year editor does seem to be a regular contributor on a range of topics. PamD 13:07, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- While I do agree that it's highly unusual when a day old account makes such a nomination and then is followed by some IPs participating, I really don't think that's enough to make judgments about longstanding editors regardless of their recent history. TarnishedPathtalk 13:12, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- I think rather than back or forth about who is editing perhaps engaging with the substance here would be preferable - to qualify as an ‘expert’, you would presumably need well read academic publications and so on. Every Think Tank employee in the U.K. doesn’t have a Wikipedia page, even if they are occasionally cited in the press. The subject has no published books, academic papers, etc; this is clearly below the threshold of noteworthy-ness. Plus the article is promotional in tone and I strongly suspect some connection, financial or otherwise, between the main editor and the subject 2A01:CB06:B852:BE75:69B1:C245:F364:C83B (talk) 08:34, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Activity level is not a requirement for a users vote to be considered legitimate. I find your arguments in this discussion to be highly suspect in their motivation, as you appear to be attempting to undermine the legitimacy of the vote rather than participating in the actual discussion.

- Comment: Thank you, @PamD:. I only put (migration expert) because I didn't know what else to call her - that's how she's often referred to by the British press. I don't think 'expert' is necessarily biased, it just means she's done significant research on the topic. And I don't think 'activist' quite fits. However, if anyone has a better idea for the title, I'd be open to that. – Starklinson 13:13 UTC
- ALSO, Wikipedia has a category Category:Experts on refugees, suggesting the language of 'expert' is not considered too partial for Wikipedia. I would also like to make it very clear that I have never received payment for my work on Wikipedia, nor have I ever made a page for someone as a favour. I know none of these people personally. – Starklinson 21:43 UTC
- Delete: Appears in various media as a subject expert, but I don't find much coverage about this person. Source 2 is a "30 under 30 list" in a PR item. The BBC sources is an interview where she talks about things. Source 14 is ok-ish. Oaktree b (talk) 16:32, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

A (very interesting) article about a Bible translator that unfortunately fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO for lack of WP:SIGCOV in secondary, independent, reliable sources. The two main sources for the article are both WP:SPS and thus prima facie unreliable. One is a collection of remembrances by Van Bik's friend; the other is a self-published (Xulon Press) book by a close friend of Van Bik and thus not independent. A WP:BEFORE search turns up nothing else of use. Don't see a valid redirect target. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:19, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- Keep this is a bit of a stretch, but per ANYBIO #2
The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field
, I'm seeing him referenced briefly in the academic missiological literature as a translator:- "This was followed by David Van Bik and Robert G. Johnson’s translation of the Old Testament, published by United Bible Society through BSI in 1978" in Haokip, D.L. (2020). "Bible Translation in Kuki-Chin of Indo-Myanmar and Bangladesh: A Historical Analysis." In: Behera, M. (eds) Tribal Studies in India. Springer, Singapore. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-32-9026-6_7
- "More Chin students, including well-known Chin Bible translators, David Van Bik and Stephen Hre Kio, came and studied in the United States afterward." in Mang, P. Z. (2023).

- Indeed it seems like a stretch... there are a lot of people who work as Bible translators in the world's many languages, and I don't know that these brief references constitute a "widely recognized contribution." The second reference claims him to be "well known" but the rest of the sourcing doesn't validate that. Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:05, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Taking a cursory look at the article, the source formatting is impressive and I initially believed that the subject was undoubtedly noteworthy. But looking at a sources a bit more reveals how narrow and superficial they are. The article's sources all come from just one book. Looking just at the PDF of the book reveals some serious problems (besides the fact that it is written in, yes, Comic Sans). First of all, the book seems to be self-published, which immediately excludes it as a reliable source per WP:RSSELF. The article also takes some of the exaggerated claims in the book as fact when it should not. Looking at [13] it looks like a WP:BLOG. It goes without saying that the article is sort of a mess, and its sources are no different. The subject fails the widespread, independent secondary sources usually required for notability. GuardianH (talk) 20:41, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
The article's sources all come from just one book
is not a correct statement. The majority of the sources do, including quoting separate chapter authors so it seems more diverse than it is, but not all sources come from that book.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article is part of a WP:WALLEDGARDEN on the Jhala dynasty and Jhala (clan) created by a now-blocked sockmaster. The core sources for these articles are books of purported genealogy published by Jhala family descendants. This article takes someone who is almost certainly a legendary figure and launders the sources to present him as a historical person. He may have been, but the sources do not indicate that:
- Genealogy, Archive, Image: Interpreting Dynastic History in Western India is edited by two Jhala family members, including one who presents himself as heir and descendent of Harpal Dev. It includes fantastic stories from the vahi (legendary geneaologies of high-caste Indian families), including Harpal Dev/Harpaldev defeating a ghost in battle and marrying a goddess, Shak-Ti who supernaturally rescues their children from an elephant.
- Rajput is a self-published book that repeats and embellishes the same rather fantastic legends.
- A Life with Wildlife: From Princely India to the Present is also by a purported descendant of Harpal Dev and retails the same fantastic stories, but at least presents them as legend.
- Harpal Dev appears in WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS in several government gazetteers, including some cited in this article]
- Popular Culture in a Globalised India is cited for a factual biographical claim, but it only discusses Harpal Dev in the context of a fictional stage play.
- The Rajputs of Saurashtra discusses the Jhala Rajputs but says of the Harpal Dev story, "Bardic tales about their migrations from the Himalayan region to Sindh seem to contain little truth."
- The article's sources include a few other trivial mentions, including a Who's Who that retails a descendant's claim of descent from Harpal Dev
Bottom line: What WP:SIGCOV we have on Harpal Dev is legend repeated by WP:SPS and WP:COI sources. The independent coverage, such as it is, does not establish him as a historical figure. I know WP:DELETIONISNOTCLEANUP, but with such a compromised article I recommend WP:TNT instead of trying to battle an army of socks claiming legendary stories are real. Fails WP:V and WP:GNG for lack of SIGCOV in independent, reliable, secondary sources. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:35, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Not fit for a separate article from the topic Simon Ekpa. The sources are to a large extent media-repetitions of what he says on social media, in WP-terms way to much WP:ABOUTSELF, and what he says has been turned into WP-voice.

The sources are to a large extent media-repetitions of what he says on social media, in WP-terms way to much WP:ABOUTSELF
to be maybe unintentionally wrong. I just assessed most of these sources and did not spot any that I can categorise under WP:ABOUTSELF. I reassessment or overall source analysis might be appropriate if the nominator can. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:51, 29 August 2024 (UTC)- @Vanderwaalforces Thanks for commenting. Take these sources from the article as example.[15][16][17] Much is repetition of What Ekpa says and announces (and they generally make that clear). This is, in my understanding, ABOUTSELF even if repeated by others. That is pretty much all that is known on this whatever. This [18] may very well be a WP:RS, and it clearly states "Ekpa says X and Y." For some reason "Ekpa says 30 million voted" from that source becomes "30 million voted" in the article. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:27, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- If I put it this way: Ekpa is a fine source that he said 30 million voted (If it should be mentioned on WP somewhere may fall under WP:NPOV). He is not a fine source that 30 million voted, etc. For that, he is "questionable/unduly self-serving" even when the media who repeats it is not SPS. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:42, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep:
The article is an "event" and not an "individual". It only happens that the organizational structure that most updates are coming from Ekpa as the leader of the organization and such, he is the center of reportage. I don't see like WP:ABOUTSELF on the refs. The article not only covers the self-referendum but the billed declaration in Finland from 28 November to 3 December 2024 and it's a long term article to be further stretched and diversified as the Nigerian government made comment and Ekpa invited them to convention where the self-referendum will be conclusive. Interesting days ahead, so therefore I strongly vote keep. The article tends to track the event. References:1., 2., 3. Wår (talk) 18:01, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

The article is mostly based on primary sources, while the secondary sources are mostly or entirely unreliable, being as follows:
- [19] prawdaoeligawin.blogspot.com is an attack site directed towards the article subject, extremely unacceptable for a biography.
- [20] celebryci.info is a gossip site, unacceptable for a biography.
- [21] dramki.pl is a gossip site, unacceptable for a biography.
- [22] vibez.pl is a tabloid, which shouldn't be used for biographies.
- [23] Not sure if kobieta.wp.pl is considered reliable. Due to legal reasons the cited article does not disclose the subject's last name but only the first letter, so I'm not sure if this is compatible with BLP.
- [24] truestory.pl is a tabloid, which shouldn't be used for biographies.
- [25] krakow.naszemiasto.pl is a local newspaper. It may be considered reliable, but like some sources above, it doesn't disclose the subject's surname, only the first letter.
- [26] wiadomosci.gazeta.pl is a tabloid, I think, so I doubt it would be considered reliable here. Like the others, it doesn't disclose surname except for the first letter.
- [27] pomponik.pl is a gossip site, unacceptable for a biography.
- [28] o2.pl is a tabloid, I think, so I doubt it would be considered reliable here. Like the others, it doesn't disclose surname except for the first letter.
Overall, even if someone can prove that WP:GNG is narrowly met, this article is still a glaring WP:BLP violation, so I believe it would be the best to WP:TNT it regardless. NicolausPrime (talk) 16:20, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete I welcome this new user's contributions, but they likely were not aware that drafts are preferred for incomplete pages. Anyway, it's not original research to simply list the populations of geographic entities or even to group second-level divisions, but I don't think it's very helpful to combine counties of one country and provinces of another, which have entirely different forms of governments and organizations. These have very different levels of responsibility and relationships to 1st and 3rd levels, and there is very little to be learned from this. The page is intended to be comparable to List of second-level administrative divisions by area, but I don't see the point of having that either. Reliable sources do not make these comparisons, so it's not a notable list. Reywas92Talk 17:41, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: or Draftify. 80:20 Delete:Draftify. I was slightly bewildered by the move history, but now understand it. If the nom had returned it to draft we would not be here. The mover saw, correctly, that draftifying while at AfD was out of process, though a WP:IAR drafification would have been fine IMHO, since this list is not remotely ready for mainspace. Regarding a deletion rationale, this does not appear to be a notable intersection, and the referencing is woefully inadequate. Fails WP:NLIST, and is a broadly empty table awaiting data. However, I do not believe that a full table would be in any way maintainable nor maintained. Regarding a Draftification rationale, as I write this I am finding it harder to justify, primarily because of the maintainability. I have moved from 60:40 to 80:20 with my delete to draftily rationale while typing this opinion. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:49, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- Keep, the Hollywood Reporter coverage referenced above looks like WP:SIGCOV, not churnalism. (It appears to be based on the trailer plus additional reporting about the upcoming release.) There's also SIGCOV in the New York Post (not deprecated for entertainment news), commentary by a staff writer at The Mary Sue and at AwardsDaily. Together, this constitutes a pass of WP:NFILM. And as Mushy notes above, I'd expect additional coverage and reviews in the days ahead. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:44, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- There are more sources that editors have flagged in this discussion per WP:BEFORE and WP:NEXIST. Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:29, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Given BEFORE doesn't apply to me as I'm not the nominator, I'll ignore this point. Based on NEXIST, granted Hoolwood Reporter is sigcov, whereas The Hill falls short. Citing WP:NYPOST as sigcov is otherwise short cited, clearly a film titled "Am I Racist" is political and therefore coverage is GUNREL. Regarding Mary Sue, an attack piece isn't exactly contributing much towards sigcov of the topic, but rather commentary on Matt Walsh himself. I'm otherwise not convinced AwardsDaily is RS, but could be convinced otherwise. This to me leaves only HR as the sigcov, which per policy, is not enough for NFILM on it's own.

- Delete or draftify as WP:TOOSOON. The only references in the article currently is a site reposting social media posts, people posting on twitter don't prove notability. The other articles mentioned, and that I could find, don't appear to provide enough for notability at the moment. If more appear after the premier then the situation may change. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 20:53, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've suggested to Delete based on the reasons stated -- essentially that as it stands, the only two citations don't prove notability (and I'd suggest are not from a reliable source) and that the other existing coverage doesn't appear to be significant.
- The page has also bypassed approval in the first place and at least in my opinion would have failed it.
- It might gain notability later, but pages typically wouldn't be approved on what might happen. DarkeruTomoe (talk) 21:06, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

I believe the portal plays a significant role in modernizing the admission process for government colleges in West Bengal.

- Strong keep, if not SNOW keep ("exercise common sense and avoid pointy, bureaucratic behavior"). I am honestly surprised, if not appalled, at this rash decision to nominate this article for deletion. While I appreciate LibStar's efforts to trim down unnecessary new stubs about athletes and embassy branches, this scholar isn't one of them. There is comparatively little serious academic research done on Dzogchen and sky gazing. For specialists working in these areas, Geisshuesler is absolutely notable, without a doubt. This article fits perfectly when you look at everything in context: Geisshuesler figures prominently in Wikipedia articles about these kinds of topics that are inherently arcane and obscure (Nyingma Buddhism in particular). An article about him is definitely relevant and important for the WP:TIBET and WP:BUDDHISM WikiProjects. We would be doing a major disservice to these WikiProjects if we were to delete Geisshuesler on the basis of completely arbitrary, vague Wikipedia guidelines that are much more fitting for STEM scientists than for religious studies scholars.
- Looking purely at raw citation counts and scores is also inherently flawed, because religious studies is a discipline where much of the most important research just doesn't get cited as much. This isn't high-impact, highly cited bioengineering or quantum computing research, so we can't simply apply the same standards to underfunded, under-represented academic disciplines.
- Now look at the references cited in Sky gazing (Dzogchen) and other related articles, and the wikilinks pointing to the authors. We mostly have a bunch of generic handbooks with outdated information, non-academic sources authored by monks and new-age self-help types that disseminated by little-known New Age-type publishers, while Geisshuesler publishes with Brill Publishers, Bloomsbury Publishing, and other serious academic publishers requiring stringent peer review. This subdiscipline is in very sore need of serious academic researchers such as Geisshuesler, who bring academic objectivity and sorely needed historiography into the field. That is why it is essential to keep this article and not delete based on arbritrary interpretations of vague Wikipedia guidelines don't always serve the needs of the audience who actually need to consult these kinds of articles.
- At the moment, Geisshuesler is currently Khyentse Macready Senior Lecturer of Tibetan Buddhism at the University of Sydney, not just a postdoc or research assistant, and certainly not some random yoga master trying to teach hippies about how to become enlightened via Shambhala Publications' books. None of the deletion votes above have sufficiently considered the relevance of Geisshuesler and his work in context. This article absolutely meets minimum WP:GNG and WP:NBIO criteria and is clearly very useful for readers who are interested in the history and practices of this type of Tibetan Buddhism. This is definitely a researcher who has made an impact in the field of Tibetan Buddhism studies and will continue to do so. He is currently busy submitting articles, and there will more publications coming out.
- In addition, WP:TOOSOON is faulty reasoning, because it is absolutely essential to balance out biographies of octogenerian professor emerita espousing outdated views and methodologies with biographies of the newer generation of highly relevant and skilled researchers. Deleting this now and then re-publishing it again is just folly. We're just going to end up deleting and re-deleting over and over again without any religious studies specialists actually weighing in about whether he is indeed relevant or notable enough to be on Wikipedia.
- We might as well delete half of all other Buddhism scholars on Wikipedia if we decide to delete Geisshuesler, as many of them aren't even as notable or relevant as he is. None of the delete voters know anything about the academic researchers who are currently working on Bon, Vajrayana, or Nyingma Buddhism. It's more than obvious than anyone who works in these fields would immediately know that Geisshuesler should absolutely not be deleted.
- Please don't do a disservice to readers studying Nyingma and Vajrayana Buddhism by rashly deciding to delete this highly relevant article. We would be left with nearly nothing about Dzogchen specialists and researchers if we were to purge this article from Wikipedia.

- Comment: @Equiyamnaya: Two thoughts. First, we need to separate the question of whether Geisshuesler's work is the sort of thing we should be citing in our articles on the topics he's published on (it absolutely is, in my view) from the question of whether Geisshuesler himself meets the relevant notability guidelines. Second, as Russ said (and I alluded to), given the low citation counts in religious studies (and the fact that it can be a very book-heavy discipline), a good way to show that an academic in religious studies is notable is to identify a range of published reviews of their academic books. I couldn't find any when I looked, though I admit that it wasn't an exhaustive search. I suggested this article might be here "too soon" because I guessed that even if his first book hadn't received any reviews (or awards, or similar), his second book might over the next couple of years. You said that Geisshuesler "absolutely meets minimum WP:GNG and WP:NBIO criteria". Could you please provide the reliable sources demonstrating this? (Non-exhaustive examples: book reviews, profiles, commentaries, possibly in-depth interviews, etc.) If you can do this, I'll happy support retaining the article. Josh Milburn (talk) 08:45, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, per WP:TOOSOON. If the subject is doing great work, then he will presumably eventually become notable, but the citation record is small (as one might expect in the low citation field), and there are no reviews apparent of the books. I'm seeing here an early career academic, who may be on a path to making an impact, but who has not made it yet. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:20, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. This replaces a much shorter comment that I added earlier. I am a long time Wikipedian and an even longer time academic. I retired many years ago after an academic career that was I think somewhat more senior than the one we are discussing here. I have been clear for many years that I do not qualify for a Wikipedia article. The subject of this discussion may deserve an article in the future but he certainly does not yet deserve one.

- How does it pass GNG? Make a case if you're going to assert something controversial. Princess Boy Laura (talk) 15:31, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Given the proportion of keep !votes here, I doubt the claim the article passes GNG is "controversial", but here is my case.
- The General Notability Guideline is:
A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
- Let's apply it to this article.
- When a topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article, the subject is assumed to deserve its own article unless editors come to a consensus otherwise. The consensus here in this deletion discussion (as of now) is that Frutiger Aero does deserve its own article.
- Significant coverage is...eh, I'll stop restating WP:GNG now. Multiple articles solely about Frutiger Aero are significant coverage.
- As for reliable sources, we've got Dazed and Creative Bloq (those are the ones I'm familiar with) which are quite diligent when it comes to the arts, and The Guardian, which is The Guardian. I'm not familiar with the other sources cited, but I trust my fellow editors.
- None of these sources created Frutiger Aero (inasmuch that Frutiger Aero can be said to be "created") or named it (that would be CARI), so we can comfortably consider them independent. Bowler the Carmine | talk 18:37, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a democracy. Getting a fan club together to vote in favor of hoaxes and misinformation is not supposed to carry water. Furthermore, a single mention of a fad or trend in a good newspaper like the Guardian does not make something in itself notable. Also, don't trust your fellow editors - if you're getting involved do your job a peer reviewer.
- Did you read the Re-Edition article? It is very plainly stated and obvious that the term was created and defined by Sofi Lee, a contributor to CARI - which is just an online community, not a reliable source. Princess Boy Laura (talk) 21:34, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- If Frutiger Aero is a hoax, perhaps deleting the article is counterproductive. Wikipedia has many articles about hoaxes, which make it abundantly clear that the subject is a hoax, and have reliable sources disproving it. If you have reliable sources disproving Frutiger Aero as a genuine phenomenon, we can rework the article to incorporate this contrary evidence. But simply deleting the article would be counterproductive either way.
- On another node, as Di said (a bit indelicately), this seems to be a one-against-many situation. What may help you right now is reading the essay I linked and following its advice. Bowler the Carmine | talk 22:15, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Believe me, if the article does stay, I would strongly advocate for it to be rewritten. I have already attempted to rewrite it to be more accurate, but my edits just get reverted and without discussion. As to evidence - the original authors maintain that their cultural commentator sources are automatically legitimate and the onus is on me to "disprove them with evidence," whereas the cultural commentator source evidence I have provided as a refutation are deemed automatically unacceptable and dismissed out of hand. Princess Boy Laura (talk) 22:44, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- If the "cultural commentator source" you're referring to is the JJ McCullough YouTube video that you tried to add, it has already been explained that the video is not reliable because it is a user-generated video with no editorial oversight. It's literally just some random guy's opinion. It's quite bizarre that you consider the sources in the article to be "blogs" but you tried to add a video blog. Di (they-them) (talk) 22:48, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia considers a YouTube video published on a personal channel a self-published source and therefore not reliable. If you wish to give sources to back up your claims, make sure that the sources you give are acceptable under Wikipedia's reliable source policy.
- Additionally, your comment about what you would do if the article stayed suggests to me that you think the article can be salvaged. In that case, this is definitely not the forum you should take your concerns to. If you wish to keep advocating for deletion however, you should read Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Bowler the Carmine | talk 23:15, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Fine. The independent journalist with nearly a million subscribers isn't good enough, but an anonymous rump of an article from the ilk of Re-Edition magazine is. The TV journalist who interviewed the likely next Canadian prime-minister is of no consequence to Wikipedia, but Natalie Fear of Creative Bloq is. I mean, if that's Wikipedia's policy what more can I say other than I believe that's a ridiculous, bad, dismissive, and overly bureaucratic policy I don't agree with and know you won't care. Do I need to get a contributor to Peculiar Mormyrid to write about this? Or will it be the "your magazine isn't good as my magazine" kind of thing?
- The fact that I believe the article's contents are best addressed on the Microsoft Aero already , where the distinction between it and the Frutiger Aero microgenre is more clear, does not mean that, if I were forced to accept the independent status of the page, I would not want it to be accurate. One does not follow from the other. You could argue a merge proposal would be more appropriate, but the key information is already present on the Microsoft Aero page so I believe there would be very little actual merging going on.

- Delete Does not pass GNG - ie. "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Most of the sources cited are fashion blogs dedicated to contemporary aesthetics and qualify as neither reliable nor notable sources. Even the genuine news sources are essentially brief reports on a fad or trend. I think it would probably be enough to place a mention on Microgenre along with the other nostalgia aesthetics, but in any case, the mention on The Windows Aero page is clear and accurate about its relationship to Fruitger Aero. Windows Aero was itself "the design language introduced in the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system." It is a well-established part of the Windows Vista brand. Frutiger Aero is a recent coinage, from 2017, signifying a retrospective look at Windows Aero and similar. Princess Boy Laura (talk) 13:31, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 15:43, 29 August 2024 (UTC)- Blogs are opinion pieces with very little oversight posted online, whether by a group or individual. Whether that group has a name with something like "Research Institute" in it, and whether it produces a print copy does not make it independent or reliable.

Princess Boy Laura (talk) 21:44, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Can you please list the sources that you consider to be "fashion blogs"? Di (they-them) (talk) 22:07, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Except the "Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute" (which I assume your alluding to here) isn't cited in the article. Reliable sources are. We fundamentally trust RSs more than editors own judgment (and have for 20 yrs). Of course more reliable sources may come along and change the balance of the articles tone. But again that is not an argument for deletion (I will, for a third time, link WP:NOTCLEANUP in hopes you might click it this time) Please stop having content discussions unrelated to the AFD.
Blogs are opinion pieces with very little oversight posted online
, and your evidence that say Dazed, a lifestyle magazine with an editorial team, and whose article isn't listed as an opinion piece fits your definition here? And then maybe do that for all the other articles your out of hand dismissing as blogs here. Many thanks in advance. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 22:33, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Moreover, the most glaring issues with the article is that it represents descriptor of a history which does not exist. It is misinformation. It in is an invented neologism and concept from 2017. In the 19th Century, colonial scholars invented the notion of an Oriental Style - doing so did not make such a style exist since, the art and culture of Turkey, India, China, Japan, etc., were never "one thing." What we report now is on "Orientalism," - the nonsense in itself. The concept of Frutiger Aero is similarly nonsense because it imputes onto existing and real brand guides of the early 20's a kind of Utopian aesthetic master plan or vision, which is false. You can read real sources about what Windows Aero or Mac Aqua were about. How do you dismiss the evidence of actual design history?
- Based on the tone I've received so far in the comments I fully expect you to dismiss this very basic obvious factual evidence as "original research" on my part. To have any reason not to agree would be "original research." The better articles like the Guardian report on Frutiger Aero as a contemporary retrospective aesthetic, not a historical one, but of course, the editors here refuse to abide by that editorial direction because they are pushing an agenda. Fine - if you believe Frutiger Aero is verifiable, explain to me what would prove to you that it represents a mistaken understanding of design history? For my part - show me one Art History Scholar that confirms the claims being made here and I'll shut up and go away. I maintain that it is sufficient to add to the Frutiger Aero section of Windows Aero to note a minor pop culture fad in the present inspired by the operating system. Princess Boy Laura (talk) 22:17, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- "show me one Art History Scholar that confirms the claims being made here and I'll shut up and go away" - That's not how it works. You're the one making controversial claims that go against consensus, the burden of proof lies on you. If you think Frutiger Aero is a hoax and does not exist, prove it with reliable sources.

Just because you don't agree with the term being used doesn't mean that these sources aren't reliable or secondary. As for "indiscriminate information", there is none of that in the article.

The subject of this article is not WP:Notable.

This case (ash v. childs) was very important about determining whether injuries like this needed to be resolved in tort versus contract.
" I think there is probably going to be coverage in some legal textbooks somewhere because searching for "Ash v. Childs" gets a lot of hits for study guides and homework help. The page is formatted like it's straight from someone's class notes, but the subject seems to be mentioned and discussed enough to be notable. A quick search turns up:

I am still of the belief a merge with a more general "Neighborhoods of Belgrade" could be and should be the way forward as it allows this article to still exist as a redirect, therefore not affecting anything that links here, and also allows for bigger and smaller towns to be on Wikipedia as the neighborhoods are notable as a group, yet probably not individually.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
There is only one source that talks about tumor alopecia and it only includes one small paragraph on the topic:
"Tumor alopecia refers to halr loss in the immediate vicinity of either benlgn or malignant tumors of the scalp. Synngomas, nerve sheath myxomas, and steatocystoma multiplex are benign tumors that may be lim~ted to the scalp and cause alopecia. Alopecia neoplastica 1s the designation glven to halr loss from metastatic tumors, most often from breast or renal carcinoma."[1]

- @CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath, a medical school textbook (which is what's cited there) is generally considered an ideal source in MEDRS terms.
- I also wonder whether you're focusing too closely on the exact name given in that one source, when the subject (i.e., hair loss in the immediate vicinity of either benign or malignant tumors of the scalp) might have other names. One of the two sources in ==Further reading== on that page talks about "neoplasm-related alopecia" and the other is about "Alopecia due to cancer". This review calls it "Hair loss in neoplastic conditions".
- It would be undesirable to delete an article about a whole subject if what it really needs is to WP:MOVE it to a different title and add some more content. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:09, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- I read over general notability guidelines and saw secondary sources and I think I may have focused too much on that. I was the one that added the further reading sources in an earlier search for some material on the topic. While the original source does distinguish tumor alopecia from Alopecia neoplastica would it be appropriate to merge the pages? I was able to expand the page Alopecia neoplastica a bit. Or possibly mention tumor alopecia on the page Alopecia and redirect there? I will search for literature regarding tumor related alopecia that’s not referred to by that name.

- Delete as an unnecessary WP:CFORK, all of the content can be covered adequately elsewhere. Of the text in the article:
- The fact that it's a rematch of a 2020 match is somewhat trivial
Kiani won the silver medal, the latter being the first for an Iranian woman at the Olympics, surpassing Alizadeh's 2016 bronze feat
can be mentioned at her article and/or Iran at the 2024 Summer OlympicsWhile Kiani competed for the Iranian team, Alizadeh competed for the Bulgarian team after having represented the Refugee Olympic Team at the 2020 Summer Olympics, and Iran at the 2016 Summer Olympics where she became the first Iranian female medalist at the Olympics.
can be covered in Kiani's article and the relevant "Team X at the Y Summer Olympics" articles.Alizadeh became Bulgaria's first-ever taekwondo competitor at the Olympics, and won Bulgaria's first medal in Olympic taekwondo
can be mentioned at Bulgaria at the 2024 Summer Olympics.- "Aftermath" section can be mentioned in either the event article, this can be added to Concerns and controversies at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Will WP become better-off without it? Speaking of this "notability" principle: media normally ignores less known artists, thus even the best/better albums in terms of music, style, arrangement, etc. may be ignored completely because their artists are not promoted enough. WP contains a ton of info on Calvin Harris whose music is absolutely bland electronic beats with no soul, finesse, nothing and who is going to be completely forgotten 10 years from now.

- This should fall under WP:G4 as the last AFD on this (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Next West Bengal Legislative Assembly election) was barely a few weeks ago, and the page is effectively identical, in terms of sourcing. I have tagged it for CSD instead. Soni (talk) 01:28, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- It has been 7 days without that G4, and an IP has already added sources definitely talking about the 2026 elections. Now I support Keeping the article because of said sources Soni (talk) 00:10, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

I can't find any sources with significant coverage. The best I find is some pages of statistics and mention that he scored in a particular game. Does not appear to meet WP:SPORTBASIC. Mgp28 (talk) 00:22, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

The result was keep. WP:SNOW keep per numerous demonstrated sources while the argument presented by the nominator doesn't appear based in policy at all. (non-admin closure) ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:56, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

goes in unnecessary detail, skewed more towards the games favor, seems unnecessary for a article on just one level just for its humorous content, not well written, the contemporary sources are mostly magazines and they don't have a primary focus on the topic at hand NoKNoC (talk) 23:51, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. The only argument here that is actually related to notability is the sourcing situation - the rest are about the quality of the article - and it is just not true. Take a look at the following sources cited in the article:
- PC Gamer article entirely about the Milkman Conspiracy. PC Gamer is considered a reliable source.
- Four-page GamesRadar+ article about essential video game levels, dedicating half a page to just the Milkman Conspiracy. GamesRadar+ is considered a reliable source.
- The Escapist article entirely about the Milkman Conspiracy. The Escapist staff content is considered a reliable source.
- Gameological article entirely about the Milkman Conspiracy. Gameological is considered a reliable source.

- Speedy keep. With respect, this AfD is extremely poorly done and mostly makes points that have zero bearing on Wikipedia.
- "goes in unnecessary detail" can you provide an example of what detail is unnecessary?
- "skewed more towards the games favor" Is this a discussion of bias? Because I included every source I could find that covered it. That it "skews towards the games favor" is a product of what people have to say about it, not the article itself.
- "for its humorous content" That it is notable for its humorous content is not relevant to AfD or notability.
- "not well written" I'm not a perfect writer, and am always ready to accept criticisms. Can you identify issues with the article or make the edits yourself to demonstrate them? Either way, the quality of lack thereof is not a factor unless it's WP:TNT, which this would certainly not apply.
- "the contemporary sources are mostly magazines" What? No they aren't! And even if they did, why is this an issue?
- "they don't have a primary focus on the topic at hand" While Milkman Conspiracy does cite articles about Psychonauts that also talk about the Milkman Conspiracy, there are multiple reliable sources that talk specifically about the Milkman Conspiracy level. Furthermore, according to the general notability guidelines, significant coverage of a subject can be found in reliable sources where said subject is not the primary focus of the topic. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 00:27, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep per Alexandra and Cukie. This rationale is severely misguided as notability has been established and none of the nominator's claims seem to align with notability guidelines. If there are quality concerns, this can be addressed editorially, but if the subject is notable, that does not warrant deletion (See Wikipedia:AFDISNOTCLEANUP) Has one ever considered Magneton?

- Speedy keep per above. This nomination doesn't strike me as anything except WP:IDONTLIKEIT. λ NegativeMP1 02:02, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep. The nom makes a claim that this not have WP:SIGCOV, but it seems at least two sources mention this topic in the heading, and a cursory look at [38] and [39] suggests they meet SIGCOV. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:55, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
