Speedy delete: per G11. Also delete because this fails WP:NPRODUCT and WP:NSOFTWARE. I could not find any significant coverage of this topic in reliable sources. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:57, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Article fails WP:GNG and WP:NPRODUCT. The sources are all primary sources and this reference is just slightly rewording the information on Technitium own website without providing any additional information or commentary of its own. This directory listing is trivial coverage of the subject that shows that it exists, but does not show notability. Searching online I did find this source of questionable reliability (per the last line and AI disclaimer) and some blog posts, but nothing that would solidly contribute towards notability. - Aoidh (talk) 02:51, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DJ Kelblizz

AfDs for this article:

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

This is very much A7-able, but let's look at it together. This article has a long history of sockpuppetry, and while not the grounds of this nomination, the same problems from the 2019 AfD persist. This article simply does not tell us why Kelblizz is a notable disc jokey, just like we had DJ YK Mule. Fails WP:ANYBIO, WP:MUSICIAN, or WP:GNG for having too many (if not all, see analysis below) churnalism, non-INDEPENDENT and non-RS pieces.

Delete: I was unsure about this one... The Nation article by "Our reporter" seems to be about what I'd expect from Nigerian media. The second Vanguard source is about the same... But he has zero listeners on Spotify [1], so I'm going with not notable. He "went viral" in 2022 per the article, but has zero listeners online. Going viral then completely dropping off the collective radar two yrs later is a bit of a stretch. Oaktree b (talk) 00:34, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

40k followers on youtube, but only has 3 videos, two from two yrs ago, one from 3 mths ago. Tiktok has a whole 600 followers [2]. This person isn't known to the public, simply based on the lack of social media virality. This is likely an attempt at PROMO.Oaktree b (talk) 00:39, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b, This subject is a Disc Jockey and not a musician, DJs are notable for the event and tour they cover, the mixes, they make for the public and in events, article meet GNG, can you see the assessment? For someone to give such assessment it means the person just wants to prove a point and all I see is that it’s a total garbage and probably this nomination isn’t assuming good faith, from the history of this article, this page was undeleted and sock was addressed, same user @Vanderwaalforces request for deletion. All the source I see are from reliable sources and independent of the subject, a lot of people have written about this subject, I don’t see any reason why the nominator calls all of the sources a promo? not all DJs drops songs on streaming platforms and social media has nothing to count for notability rather having multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. 105.116.7.104 (talk) 00:54, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he has no coverage in RS and his music seems to have no critical attention. He can be whatever he wants to be, but a lack of sourcing and a lack of critical notice do not add up to notability here. Oaktree b (talk) 00:57, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Being a DJ that no one listens to, isn't notable, to be blunt. Oaktree b (talk) 00:59, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any song on the platform? Shows that his not a musician . Why mentioning all about social media, I suggest you check WP:NGRS 105.116.7.104 (talk) 01:04, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have, social media is not listed there, and we have no songs posted to any of these Nigerian sources, hence the individual is not notable. Oaktree b (talk) 01:30, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b, This subject is verified organically on Instagram due to Notability,The subject has 45,000 subscribers on YouTube as you mentioned here, so what makes you think the subject didn’t delete his videos on YouTube and songs from platforms? Other celebrities do that and you can’t question them, you saw no song on platforms [3], this is a DJ not a musician. 105.116.7.104 (talk) 01:26, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have an instagram and have posted music, that doesn't make a person notable. DJ's with a lack of sourcing and a small social media presence aren't notable here. Oaktree b (talk) 01:29, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this person notable then? Please present decent sourcing that talks about him, that show's he's gone viral and has attained notability. We don't have any of these and that's the issue here. Oaktree b (talk) 01:34, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

did you check the article and did you check google? I can here to read about a celebrity I’ve heard alot about and I came to see such and it’s not nice, if @Vanderwaalforces says all the source are promo then do you mean everything those reliable platforms post are promo ? All I know is that this @Vanderwaalforces needs to be blocked, I can’t come to Wikipedia to read about someone and I see things like this, like I said a celebrity can decide to take down all his songs from platforms and delete his posts from social media, other celebrities do that sir, the subject has a real verified instagram account and I’ve heard about his events so many times that’s why I came here 105.116.7.104 (talk) 01:39, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I will also note that in the last AfD, the arguments were made that he was "fast rising" and "up and coming"; it's been 5 years since then, if he's still "up and coming", I don't think he's important enough to get an article. Fast rising isn't taking 6 years to be at least a tiny bit notable; to argue otherwise is silly. He wasn't notable then and appears about the same now. Oaktree b (talk) 01:38, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Check the source if you see such, as “fast rising” because I just did and they are fine content and the subject is News worthy, ask the nominator his problem for saying all this celebrities content online are promotional, maybe he is angry that a lot of notable newspapers published this subject over time and from the sources, they are all significant coverage. 105.116.7.104 (talk) 01:42, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gehard Hasa

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

Failure of WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Played 10 minutes in Albania's highest league and 13 games in the semi-pro second tier.

Sources in the article aren’t about him. Both is about the squad, with this to say about Hasa: ”Gerhard Hasa from striker has been adapted to right back” + “The innovation was the activation of striker Gehard Hasa as right back, another sector where Partizan has problems”. This is a friendly match report.

This comes much closer to significant coverage, but since his career didn’t pan out, that article also seems a bit inconsequential. What do you think? Geschichte (talk) 20:22, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tanglewood Music and Arts Festival

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

Article about a defunct music festival, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for events. As always, festivals are not "inherently" notable just because they existed, and have to show reliable source coverage about them to pass WP:GNG -- but the only "reference" cited here at all is a Facebook post, not a reliable or notability-building source, and a WP:BEFORE search only turned up unrelated coverage of other similarly-named events in Massachusetts or Australia rather than anything about this.
Since the event apparently went defunct a decade ago and thus might not Google well, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access to archived British and Irish media reportage from the early 2010s than I've got can find enough to salvage it, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to be referenced much better than this.

Delete. Per nom and WP:NEVENT. (This relatively short-lived and mostly local-interest music festival has not been the subject of significant coverage in reliable/independent sources. What coverage I can find is mostly ROTM "events listings" and the usual pre-event promotion. The lineup for the 2011 event involved only (as far as I can see) local/non-notable performers. While the 2012 and 2013 (and to a degree the 2014) events did seem to attract a few notable bands (which are sufficiently notable to have Wikipedia articles), this music festival does not "inherit" notability from those bands. And the only sources that I can find, to establish even these basic facts, are the same type of events listings coverage we might expect for any event or gig anywhere.) It might, just about, be worthwhile redirecting to the Narrow Water Castle article. As an alternative to deletion. But, even that seems a bit much (as, as of today, the castle article doesn't mention the music festival. In fact, the subject festival isn't mentioned in any other articles - which in itself is kinda telling....) Guliolopez (talk) 15:35, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Online panel

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

Declined PROD. This article had no sources for the last seventeen years, but when declining the PROD, the declining user jammed three refs onto the first sentence of the article that do all mention online panels. One appears to be a research paper, which is fine for verification but does not establish notability. The others appear to be brief mentions of online panels in books about market research. I don't believe notability was clearly established by WP:REFBOMBING in this fashion, so here we are. It has not been proven that there is in depth coverage in reliable sources, I don't think we generally consider the <whatever> For Dummies series of books to really be something we should be basing encyclopedia content on, but that's ok because none of the content is actually based on it, it was just tacked on as a ref because a Google search showed that Online Surveys For Dummies contains the words "online panel" a few times.

Keep. The first source is not a "research paper" it is an edited volume on the concept of "online panels" AKA a 500+ page book that is literally just about the article topic. The third source is not "brief" it has multiple pages discussing the pros and cons and methods of this kind of research. This appears to be a significant concept in marketing research, see here, here , here, here, dozens upon dozens more, etc. The prod said it had been unsourced for 17 years and therefore was clearly non notable which is nonsense. Also, in what world is refbombing adding three sources? My rationale for citing the less academic source is it provided a better explanation as to what the topic was and I didn't want to go jumping through hoops to find that in the edited volume to cite the first sentence. Probably not the best source but not unreliable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:03, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree on a merge, in any case that seems like one of many possible targets and a fairly arbitrary one - it doesn’t seem any closer linked to the focus group concept than many of the other marketing concepts discussed with it. There is a 500 page book about this and many many many articles. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:28, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The book’s definition set out in its introduction is: “an online panel is a “form of access panel, defined in the international standard, ISO 20252 "Market, opinion and social research - Vocabulary and Service Requirements," as "a sample database of potential respondents who declare that they will cooperate for future data collection if selected" (International Organization for Standardization, 2012, p. 1). These panels sometimes include a very large number of people (often one million or more) who are sampled on numerous occasions and asked to complete a questionnaire for a myriad of generally unrelated studies. Originally, these panels were called discontinuous access panels […] Panel members can be re-sampled (and routinely are) to take part in another study with varying levels of frequency.” Not really a focus group since it involves many many more people while a focus group is small. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:32, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i’ll try to expand it to start class tomorrow so the article actually makes clear what this is (and also because I feel obligated to put my money where my mouth is after writing so many words) PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:07, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

there are now words PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:59, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is pretty well known concept in the field of research. Taking a quick look at the google scholar results, besides the sources identified by PARAKANYAA, this research paper discussing online panels in marketing research, this research paper that talks about how online panels might have specific biases and this research paper talks about alternative ways to setup online panels to provide better quality data. I also don't understand the rationale of the nom, not having sources for a long period of time has nothing to do with the topics current notability and the refbombing allegations also appear to be exaggerated, all three of the references added are relevant and show that the topic has been written about in depth. Sohom (talk) 21:06, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect to Focus group. Searching on scholar shows that "Online panel" and "Focus group" are closely linked concepts [4]. It makes sense to cover them in the same article. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:58, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anabwani I of Bunyoro

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

This appears to be a hoax, or at the very least non-notable. The article was created by User:Anabwani2007, whose only edits consist of creating and editing this article, as well as adding a mention of Anabwani to Omukama of Bunyoro. None of the links presently given in the article even mention Anabwani. I wasn't able to find even a mention in reliable sources either. A Ugandan newspaper, Daily Monitor, mentions him in an article, but that's it (and their list is sourced to the monarchy's website anyway, where he's similarly merely mentioned once). toweli (talk) 19:16, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep most sources on the article are self-published, however per WP:MONARCH he is considered automatically notable as a sovereign ruler. Azarctic (talk) 23:05, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the issue is, I'm not sure if he's even real (I haven't seen a mention of him predating the 2010s), and even if we count that particular newspaper article as reliable (which I'm not certain that it is), the only thing we can say is that he existed, which isn't enough for a standalone article. toweli (talk) 23:19, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In general, the Daily Monitor holds a left-leaning editorial bias and is reasonably fact-based; however, they poorly source information. The articles does really need more reliable sources for verification which is why I made my vote a weak keep. Azarctic (talk) 11:11, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you can provide some references to the "huge coverage" of her then, since there aren't any at present. The cited articles in the three newspapers you mention are merely routine news reports of match results, and none of them have more than a few sentences about her; they are not even moderate coverage of her, let alone "huge coverage".

Keep - as usual, articles shouldn't be tagged for AfD based on the lack of references in the article at present, but based on the availability of potential sources for expansion.

Northern Diocese

Lacking secondary sources. Completely fails WP:ORGCRIT. There is no way that individual dioceses of the fringe Free Church of England are individually notable. AusLondonder (talk) 15:09, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Christianity and United Kingdom. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 15:33, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a valid split from a notable main article it does not have to pass WP:ORGCRIT in my view. In any case WP:NCHURCH specifies that passing WP:GNG is enough. Atlantic306 (talk) 18:58, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's a very generous reading of NCHURCH which states that religious organisations "must meet the notability guideline for organizations and companies or the general notability guideline or both". Nevertheless, can you explain how this meets GNG? Where is the "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"? It's certainly not there now. AusLondonder (talk) 21:09, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There should probably be an SNG on this but dioceses and other middle judicatories of major church traditions (Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican) are almost always viewed per se as notable, even without secondary sourcing (see AfDs from 2019, 2018, 2018, 2012, 2007, 2007). (The only "delete" results for a diocese that I've seen were for a tiny splinter group with no sourcing available at all or for an apparent hoax.) This isn't a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument; there's precedent established in the discussions resulting in a long series of "keep" decisions for dioceses, and editors in those debates referred to previous precedent as well. Separately from this precedent, there is WP:SIGCOV for the FCE's Northern Diocese, which is the subject of a very current controversy in the news: see the Telegraph, Anglican Ink, Christian Today and the Lancashire Post. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:47, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And what makes you think that precedent matters on wikipedia? We're a consenus based organization, that means that we explicitly reject the concept of precedent. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:16, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not meet WP:GNG, anglicanmainstream.org and anglican.ink are blogs, telegraph.co.uk does not write about the church itself but about an alleged crime (you could in theory use it to claim that the crime was notable, but not the church), and it would be weird to use the Lancashire Post article to claim its notable because the article is about how non-notable it is Demolition is justified through the current state of the building not being fit for use and no longer used by the local community. so you'd only have an article on christiantoday.com which is way too meager to make something notable. Polygnotus (talk) 16:21, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment deletion is obviously inappropriate, but I'm curious regarding the motivation to break this off from the main FCE article, as I don't see there's a SIZE issue necessitating a split. Jclemens (talk) 17:25, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jclemens: would you be so kind to provide some sources that demonstrate notability? Because currently this does not pass WP:GNG. Thank you, Polygnotus (talk) 17:27, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Do you need a basic intro to alternatives to deletion? Because I don't want to sound pedantic if you already understand it, but your question makes no sense in light of the content of my comment. Jclemens (talk) 17:31, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jclemens: I know that merging exist, but your POV is as clear as mud to me. If a subject does not meet GNG standards, delete/merge seems the only appropriate action possible. I also don't know why everyone is named clemens and I feel a bit left out. Poly "clemens" gnotus (talk) 17:37, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You obviously know nothing of the sort. I'm a curationist, which means I'm always looking to present information in the best possible format, and merging or redirection is one of the best tools to do that. Deletion is unnecessarily confrontational for content where non-notability is the primary argument that it shouldn't exist as a separate article. Jclemens (talk) 17:51, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jclemens: This is an encyclopedia, not /r/datahoarder, so deleting is not "confrontational", it is perhaps the most important thing you can do to improve Wikipedia. The Northern Diocese does not meet GNG, and the little content it has would be difficult to merge into the FCE article. Polygnotus (talk) 17:57, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're making a great argument for keeping it as a separate article. I agree. Keep as merging would be suboptimal and per the other keep arguments. Jclemens (talk) 19:14, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jclemens: you appear to be deliberately misinterpreting what Polygnotus said, there is no good faith way to interpret that as a "great argument for keeping it as a separate article" other than incompetence (which doesn't seem to be your issue) so this is uncivil and disruptive. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:12, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Horse Eye's Back Please temper your comments. You are entitled to your opinions, but impugning the good faith and/or competence of editors who disagree with you is not conducive to a collegial discussion. Kind regards... -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:30, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At best Jclemens is mocking Polygnotus, that is not conducive to a collegial discussion... But you did not ask Jclemens to temper their comments or lecture them about impugning Polygnotus's competence and good faith (which is the result of such public mockery). Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not in the least. I'm merely applying the natural consequence of Polygnotus' badgering behavior. Beginning with would you be so kind to provide some sources that demonstrate notability? that editor's behavior has been irrelevant to my position--should this be kept or merged?--and as such, convinced me that opposing their apparent attempt to Right Great Wrongs was in the encyclopedia's best interest. You see, I could care less whether a religious group is a fringe schism or not, I just want us to cover it appropriately. Jclemens (talk) 00:46, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Facepalm Back to work please gentlemen. Polygnotus (talk) 08:45, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And now we're throwing evidence free aspersions of WP:badgering? There had better be evidence from other pages to support that assertion, because the edits to this page do not. I don't see how sources that demonstrate notability could be irrelevant to a position taken in a deletion discussion... Such a position can only be based on the existance or presumed existence of such sources (there is no other path to notability). Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:45, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I !voted above, I do think based on longstanding precedent "keep" is the community default for this sort of article, but I would accept "merge" as an alternative based on the size of the diocese (and considering that had it been up to me I would not have created free-standing pages for the FCE dioceses in the first place). Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:31, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per longstanding precedent that dioceses of established church organizations are treated as presumptively notable, provided that they actually have more than just a collection of people holding meetings in their living rooms. The diocese is admittedly rather small. But I think it passes our customary threshold. This has been the WP:COMMONSENSE approach to these articles for as long as I can remember. -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:49, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't get this circular reasoning. It's directly at odds with long-established policy that "No company or organization is considered inherently notable. No organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is, including schools" - should this been removed from WP:ORGCRIT then? Also "Presumptively notable" means we assume it is notable, unless evidence exists to the contrary, as it does here. AusLondonder (talk) 10:15, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AusLondonder I think you're taking an excessively legalistic approach to this. If you look at the subject of ships; almost any named military vessel or ocean going commercial ship has been treated as presumptively notable as long as there is evidence that it exists (or did). ASFAIK this is not explicitly spelled out in any guidelines. But I can't remember the last time an article about a military vessel or ocean going ship was deleted at AfD. And yes there are some obscure ships with very little in the form RS coverage. Sometimes just a short blurb in Janes and/or maybe an old news clipping somewhere. In the end, NORG is not policy. It's a guideline as are all of the SNGs. And there are and have always been generally accepted exceptions that the community has adopted organically over the years w/o spelling it all out in a new or amended guideline. On the other hand WP:IAR is WP:POLICY. I don't wish to come across as trivializing NORG or any of our other SNGs. I think they serve a useful purpose in keeping the clutter and promotional fertilizer out of the project. But I do not believe they should be treated as some form of scripture, i.e. infallible, inerrant and the last word on all matters. See also WP:COMMONSENSE. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:26, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you have to cite WP:IAR to explain why an article about an individual diocese of a fringe religious group with less than 20 churches in a country of nearly 70 million should be kept irrespective of sourcing, I think that demonstrates my point completely. AusLondonder (talk) 15:47, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fringe religious group? Ummm... ok. I think we have reached a point where we should just agree that we disagree and move on. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:00, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what's controversial there. I'm not suggesting religious groups are fringe in general, I'm saying this is a very, very small group. It has less than 20 member churches, many with tiny congregations. In comparison the Diocese of Bristol in the Church of England has more than 200 churches alone. AusLondonder (talk) 16:30, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such precendent... And wikipedia is not a precedent based organization... When it comes to policy and guideline based arguments precedent is not among them. You are currently arguing against a common sense approach, your position is the extremist/anti-consensus one. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:07, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, the only valid (policy and guideline based) keep argument is Atlantic306's... They're right that it doesn't have to pass ORGCRIT and they're right that passing GNG would be enough... The problem is that they don't demonstrate that it passes GNG, and it doesn't pass GNG. People keep saying precendent... but there is no precendent in policy or guideine on wikipedia, we're explicitly a consenus bases organization not a precendent based one.

Can you explain why merging to the parent denomination isn't appropriate? Jclemens (talk) 00:46, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe if a small selection of editors had actually made a case for merging rather than falsely asserting all dioceses of all religious groups no matter the size are notable irrespective of lack of secondary sources then people might be supporting a merge. AusLondonder (talk) 03:41, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see anything worth merging in this context. Merging is for when there is valuable content that would be of use somewhere else on wikipedia, this is self-sourced clutter of no signficant encyclopedic value. Nothing valuable or useful therefore nothing to merge. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:40, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

because anyone interested in this subject is likely to be interested in the time the last surviving bishop nearly died trying to make the next bishop, as well as the local churches that split back to the organizations they originally split off from. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:30, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't this potentially contribute to the notability of the church? How specifically the Northern Diocese? Also WP:GNG requires secondary sources. AusLondonder (talk) 06:39, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm guessing you didn't read the source, since the story here is specifically about the bishop of the Northern Diocese. Saying that's irrelevant is like saying that hiring the CEO for a company is irrelevant to the article about the company. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:08, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And how does any of what you've just said apply to notability? Because there doesn't actually appear to be a policy or guideline based argument in there... Fenwick is associated with the topic of the article so their book doesn't count towards notability at all. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:52, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is the idea here that no source written by a member of a religion is Truly™ independent? We have not generally applied that standard to religious subjects, just like we have not checked authors' political party membership or nationality when deciding what contributes to notability for politicians or countries. It looks like the author became a bishop in this religious organization a few years after this publication. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:13, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No source written by a member of the leadership of a religion (colloquially the clergy) is independent of the organization they are a leader in. It applies to any organization (political and military as well). A paper published by a serving US Army officer can't be used as an independent source on a US Army post. Similarly coverage from a political party's founder does not count towards that party's notability. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 20:11, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. "Diocese" of a small splinter group consisting of eight churches. No significant coverage. No notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:04, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge, It would perhaps be an improvement to this article if former parishes were noted also, to show the shifting geographic distribution of the denomination, for which the 1995 R.D. Fenwick (an Anglican Communion bishop, not a relative of the FCofE bishop J. Fenwick) doctoral thesis, currently the first source on the Free Church of England article, would be a useful source as regards the 19th & 20th C, but would not cover 21st C changes. However, with the currently information alone, neither this article, nor Southern Diocese, are seemingly sufficiently large as to necessitate separation from the main Free Church of England article, the details of the historic bishops and the current locations is relevant information regarding the Free Church of England, the sufficient notability of which I believe is not doubted. SemperAdiuvans (talk) 09:19, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As you rightly say, the articles currently do not demonstrate why they should be seperate from the main article on the church. I would support restoring some of the content back to the notable church page. AusLondonder (talk) 15:11, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both Northern Diocese and Southern Diocese. The church is notable, but the individual dioceses aren't. Both lists of congregations are short, and if they were given in the parent article rather than being broken out it'd be easier to get an overview of where the church operates. I don't see any need for redirects, as someone searching for "Northern/Southern Diocese" is unlikely to be looking for this church. Adam Sampson (talk) 15:20, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Free Church of England. Per Adam Sampson, the church is notable, the individual dioceses not. There is simply no need to split out the information about the northern and southern dicocese from the parent article. Anyone interested in the Free Church of England will be better served by having all the information in that article, which is well below the threshold for considering a size split. I note Adam Sampson's concern that a redirect is not needed, and a merge will leave a redirect. I believe, however, there is a small amount of mergeable information, and keeping the edit history is then the right thing to do. Should another primary topic of Northern diocese emerge, the redirect could be overwritten with the new primary topic, but edit history would still be preserved. Thus I believe merge is the most sensible outcome. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:05, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- First off, as for sources, there are there are none; zero, zilch, nada, nothing. When I bothered to look this person up, I can find almost no information beyond websites either mirroring or clearly parroting the information stated in the article.
- Second, as for the content of the article, it is abysmal. It's more hagiography than it is biography. Starting off only two sentences in, a reader is confronted with promotional B.S. such as the following: "He was born in a humble family and showed good skills for drawing since he was a child.". This is as clear an illustration of the self-made man trope as there may ever be.
- Third, as far as the edit history of this article, there appears no indication it will ever be improved. The original editor (from 2009) who created the article, appears to have created an account solely to create this article and has never edited since. The rest of the edits are all minor things like moving categories.

Alejandra Villarreal

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

See also the article’s Talk page. This should be a basic redirect to The Warning (band) but I suspect it will be contested so I’m bringing it here for consensus. I am very familiar with The Warning and wrote a sizeable chunk of their article, but Alejandra simply has not achieved any individual notability outside of the band, per the requirements of WP:BANDMEMBER and WP:NOTINHERITED. This article merely repeats info from the band article plus some fan trivia, and rather desperately tries to beef things up with more trivia about her gear. Note that Alejandra’s sister/bandmate Paulina Villarreal also has her own article, but that one is a bit stronger because Paulina has earned notice from pro drumming publications. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:49, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct that, to date, Alejandra has only achieved success in collaboration with her sisters. Deleting this page, removes any place for specific personal and equipment information which would not be appropriate in a band page. Phil1107 (talk) 00:18, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That statement is self-contradictory, because if she has no individual achievements then that's exactly why she shouldn't have her own article. Calling for an article that only contains non-notable trivia for possible future purposes violates several different policies that can be found at WP:NOT. The discussion at Talk:Alejandra Villarreal shows much better awareness of the relevant policies. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 12:22, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of career achievements by Stephen Curry

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

Similar to other articles in the Career achievements of basketball players category, this is a collection of indiscriminate trivia with trivial statistical cross sections sourced primarily to non-secondary sources such as the AI website StatsMuse and Basketball Reference. As such, this is a violation of WP:NOTSTATS and does not meet the notability criteria under WP:NLIST. Let'srun (talk) 13:04, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alot of what is in the article should go but there are sources out there that specifically discuss Curry's career achievements such as from Sky Sports and NBC Sports. Whether it is enough for a standalone article, I'll let others decide. Alvaldi (talk) 14:26, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Some relevant policies are WP:INDISCRIMINATE:
To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia.
WP:NOTSTATS:
Statistics that lack context or explanation can reduce readability and may be confusing; accordingly, statistics should be placed in tables to enhance readability, and articles with statistics should include explanatory text providing context.
The article lacks the context that those policies expect to put the collection of bullet items into perspective for the reader.—Bagumba (talk) 15:04, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The AI site StatMuse is cited almost 200 times on the page. Consensus at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 400 § StatMuse and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Basketball Association § Statmuse is that the site is not reliable and the AI nature of the site amounts to WP:OR, as the editor enters queries to get results from a WP:PRIMARY source database. Per the WP:SECONDARY policy:
Wikipedia articles usually rely on material from reliable secondary sources.

Comment Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of career achievements by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a recent related AfD on a Hall of Famer who transcends basketball that was closed as "delete".—Bagumba (talk) 07:50, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment After reviewing the page again, I went on to delete large chunks of trivial content that lacked merit and/or were unsubstantiated. All StatMuse references and any inferable content from sites such as ClutchPoints and Basketball Reference (database-searched content) have also been removed to retain credibility and avoid the violation of WP:NOTSTATS. Furthermore, franchise and college-based records have been tabulated to enhance readability. It is fair to say that the current version is far sleeker and concrete with credible citations (with the exception of a handful of records which I am in the process of finding the right sources for). As the page's latest version also shows, Curry has an extensive list of notable records and milestones. Incorporating them in one page seems like a more organised and logical approach to me. In addition, it is common knowledge that Curry, like Bryant and James, is generally considered an all-time great with a significant impact on the sport. However, the achievements pages of the latter-two (Bryant's and James') have a wide range of unverified content, particularly Bryant's, that still stand without any corrections being made. The notion of whether Curry warrants a standalone records page may not seem like a "no-brainer", but its closure seems unjustified if each factor in this comment is considered in totality.—Beemer03 (talk) 14:24, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mystic Mountain (film)

Article about a film, not reliably sourced as passing WP:NFILM. As always, every film is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists, and instead films must show WP:GNG-worthy coverage about them in third-party reliable sources -- but this is referenced entirely to the filmmaker's own self-published content about it, and makes absolutely no notability claim (awards, etc.) above and beyond "film that exists". And even on a WP:BEFORE search, I mostly found more primary sources -- all I found for GNG-worthy reliable source coverage was two hits in the local media of the city where the director was living at the time, of the "local man tries to make film" and "local man screens film locally" varieties, which is not enough by itself in the absence of any wider attention.

Sweetness (upcoming film)

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

WP:TOOSOON article about an as yet unreleased film, not reliably sourced as the subject of sufficient production coverage to be exempted from the main notability criteria for films at WP:NFILM.
There are just six footnotes here, of which two are the self-published Instagram posts of one of the producers, one is a press release self-published by a funding body, and one is a glancing namecheck of the film's existence in a "submitted article" (i.e. really just another press release) about the overall film and television industry in the region where this film was shot, none of which are support for notability.
That leaves just two hits that actually represent reliable and GNG-building coverage about this film, which is not enough coverage to exempt a film from the standard film notability criteria -- the special WP:NFF criteria require a lot of production coverage, not just one or two hits.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when this gets released and starts generating reviews by professional film critics, but two hits of production coverage is not enough to already justify an article now. Bearcat (talk) 15:41, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT. Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find (including Somali sources), only primary sources exist on the event with no secondary sources existing on the event. The event does not have in-depth nor continued coverage with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the crash. Whilst there exists this news article dating from November 2022, there is no analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the accident making it a primary source. Additionally, lasting effects nor long-term impacts on a significant region have been demonstrated as a result of the accident. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 14:28, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, scheduled passenger flight crashes at an airport and burns up meets longstanding notability standards on Wikipedia. The fact that it happened in a country where local news sources are not in English or online makes it more difficult to research an article, but does not change the underlying notability. The fact that the passengers were successfully evacuated without death does not make it non-notable. (Copied and pasted from the first AFD attempt on this article, it still applies today). RecycledPixels (talk) 05:58, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You've repeatedly mentioned a "longstanding notability standard" in numerous AfDs without providing an actual guideline or policy, what "notability standard" are you talking about? Limited coverage in english sources or "being difficult to research" are neither excuses or arguments since even Somali sources don’t demonstrate the article’s notability. Just because an accident happened does not make it automatically notable.

Notability is based on available evidence. WP:GNG states that "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability." Evidence suggests that primary sources seem to be the only coverage existing. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events such as accidents that were (widely) reported at the time are usually not notable unless something gives them additional enduring significance, which there really isn't so I'm not sure about what "underlying notability" you are talking about.

Semi-advertorialized article about a martial artist, not properly referenced as passing inclusion criteria for martial artists. As always, martial artists are not "inherently" notable just for existing, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage about them in media and/or books -- but this is referenced entirely to directly affiliated primary sources that are not support for notability, with no evidence of GNG-worthy reliable source coverage shown at all.

Ambassadors are not inherently notable and must meet WP:BASIC, namely having received "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject".

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

Previous AfD closed as no consensus, but should have closed as delete given AfD is not a simple headcount, with strength of argument supposed to account for something. Two editors favoured deleting, and two favoured keeping (including the creator, who cited the unreliable Who's Who as a keep rationale). Source analysis in previous AfD established Jones lacks significant coverage specifically about him in multiple published secondary sources and therefore fails WP:BASIC. The current article has not been improved since last AfD and instead still consists of three sources which do not contribute to notability. Ambassadors are not inherently notable and do not get a free pass from notability requirements. AusLondonder (talk) 13:11, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closer: I am a frequent recipient of harassment and targeting by an incredibly pertinacious sockmaster-[15] who created more than a dozen burner accounts in just the past year solely to target me. His socks most recently targeted my AFDs and PRODs- [16] and [17] and [18] and [19]. The most recent examples are this- in which his IP/proxy removed my PROD on the article Katoch-Sikh war, 2 admins have stated that this was almost certainly HB block evading- [20] + [21]. He has also employed meat puppetry to target AFDs and PRODs. Note that this IP also created a draft for Katoch-Sikh war, the same page HB's sock targeted, very heavily indicating sockpuppetry/meatpuppetry at play here.

This Slovak men's footballer, who seems to have never played in any European top-tier clubs, was deemed non-notable back in 2015 AfD discussion. I have searched his name in conjunction with *any club he has played for* and "site:.sk", but couldn't find any significant coverage that would suggest he is now notable per WP:GNG only, as NFOOTBALL no longer exists. The best secondary source I found was AktualitySK, which only mentions Petrovský in an image caption when he played for Skalica in 2016. Excluding database sources, I only found namesakes and a lot of hits about the unrelated ice hockey player Servac Petrovský. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 11:23, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Did a teeny bit more searching, noting small amount of coverage here. Mrfoogles (talk) 06:23, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the nomination for deletion.

Strum has co-written two songs on popular 00s albums - Come and Get it by Rachel Stevens and Still Standing by Kylie Minogue in addition to the single, Why Not Us? by Monrose.

Under Notability (music), Strum therefore qualifies under the criteria: 'Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition.'

In addition, Strum is eligible for inclusion under the criteria as a performer: 'Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.' 'Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).' ('Addicted' was released by Warner Bros. major label release - https://open.spotify.com/artist/49DJil4JyZdW8Upoilkfom?si=uoQw-rvcTSOKuvGOyykJkw - her second album 'Cocoon' was also a major label recording, which was shelved and has now been released and distributed on an 'independent label with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable - https://open.spotify.com/album/7vNUTEQtnCVWel68cxx5sC?si=fMuK_Zl5Q1mgtyt1TSqOAQ and https://hmv.com/store/music/cd/cocoon)

Her listing is incomplete, but she is featured on the UK Official Charts Company website: https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/alexis-strum/

In addition, she has released two albums as a recording artist, which are widely available on all streaming platforms, with 8.3k monthly streams on Spotify.

She is also eligible for inclusion under: 'Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, such as a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read the policy and notability guideline on subjects notable only for one event, for further clarifications).'

Go My Own Way was the theme tune to the 'network television show' Vital Signs (TV Show) in the UK, which aired on ITV, starring Tamzin Outhwaite.

She is also eligible for inclusion under: 'Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.'

The music video for Bad Haircut featured Tom Ellis and was aired on The Box and MTV Hits, and has over 100,000 views on YoUTube.

She is also eligible for inclusion under: 'Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.'

The album 'Cocoon' has received a large amount of press attention since its initial planned release in 2006: - https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/music/alexis-strum---cocoon-mercury-1024671 - https://retropopmagazine.com/alexis-strum-cocoon-album-review/

Strum's music career has also been the feature of multiple, non-trivial, published works, as well as being mentioned in articles where she has been listed as a musical performer, worthy of note: - https://metro.co.uk/2023/10/04/lorraine-mix-up-destroyed-alexis-strums-career-for-20-years-19596176/ - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgl7ld1glk3o - https://www.aol.com/clean-bandit-were-told-stop-233558500.html?guccounter=1 - https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/pop-star-music-alexis-strum-album-b2380472.html - https://player.winamp.com/podcasts/womans-hour-podcast-e59d55dc59 - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2005/aug/23/popandrock - https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/festival-finalises-acts-for-v-line-up-12712 - https://www.guardian-series.co.uk/news/13337233.kylie-minogue-songwriter-stage-homeland-meets-loose-women-play/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevebritney (talk • contribs) 13:53, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I tend to agree with the advice in the essay linked in the nomination. If we're going to write about kids, we need to be careful. Relevant to the present case are the admonishments, Students are not notable prodigies for their performance as students, no matter how advanced they are in their work, and Prodigious children who demonstrate skill in mathematics or science are expected to have published works on a par with their notable adult academic peers. Another pertinent concern is the general idea of not having a whole article about a person only known for one thing. Only one event has been covered with any degree of reliability, namely his admission into NYU, and that's being very generous to the silly season reporting. On the whole, I'm just not seeing a notability case that is strong enough to outweigh the concerns here. XOR'easter (talk) 20:13, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Islamic Commercial Law

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

I added three sources to this article, as it had previously been unsourced for 19 years, but I don't think any are helpful for notability. The first merely says that the book was published and what it was about, the second is a book that cites the book and summarizes its arguments, and the third is a review from a British politician's personal website which would be useful however owing to its self published nature is probably not countable for notability. Nothing that actually discusses the book, not enough for WP:NBOOK.

It is frustrating that this book appears to be non-notable, as it appears to be very highly cited (confounding my effort to find discussion of it). Redirect to Mohammad Hashim Kamali? PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:02, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If the book is "very highly cited" then it satisfies the guideline WP:TBK. NBOOK, like PROF, is, by design, not just a rehash of GNG. The book has some coverage in Reference and Research Book News, and a thorough description of the book (which will not fit in the author's article) is helpful. [I struck my previous !vote which discussed possible merger and redirection targets.] James500 (talk) 01:24, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@James500 My interpretation of WP:TBK is that it is a rationale for relaxing the degree of sigcov required for academic publications, but not that it is an excuse to not have any - it's phrased in a vague way that imply a combination of several of these factors may help, and this doesn't hit too many of them. The R&R Book News publication is two sentences which just summarize the book - they don't really do reviews, it's usually just a sentence on "this book was published and here is what it's about", which can be helpful but which does not help notability IMO. AFAIK it is generally frowned upon to only have material in an article that is sourced from the topic itself, and that's really all we can get here. "very" highly cited was probably an overestimation on my part, but it does have some yes PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:40, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your interpretation of TBK is mistaken. TBK says nothing about "significant coverage". The entire purpose of TBK is to disapply GNG. James500 (talk) 01:43, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well TBK is vague and does not have any clear-cut guidelines like NBOOK does, only "possible findings" and a suggestion to use common sense. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:45, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The possible findings for notability under WP:TBK, as listed without elaboration, are some combination of the following:

whether the book is published by an academic press, (no)

how widely the book is cited by other academic publications or in the media, (cited a decent amount, but not to an exceptional degree)

the number of editions of the book, (a few, not very high)

whether one or more translations of the book have been published, (none)

how influential the book is considered to be in its specialty area, (not very)

whether it is, or has been, taught, or required reading, in one or more reputable educational institutions (no)

Hence, I disagree with a keep vote. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:51, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at GScholar, Kamali seems to have an exceptional level of citation. The average h-index for a law professor is less than 3, because it is a low citation field for academics. He is said to be "the most widely read living author on Islamic law in the English language". I am tempted to invoke BKCRIT #5. James500 (talk) 02:01, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, he's definitely notable. BKCRIT #5 only applies to people whose "life and body of written work would be a common subject of academic study.", which he is not, but I guess I can see your case here. Unfortunate that we only have an article on what appears to be the least notable of his many works. PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:07, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The book "Islamic Commercial Law: An Analysis of Futures and Options" has 333 GScholar citations. The preceding article "Islamic Commercial Law: An Analysis of Futures" has 75 citations.

I cannot find any Reception on this game. I found this TheGamer source: https://www.thegamer.com/pokemate-pokemon-go-precursor/ but it was published before TheGamer's reliability date of August 2020, meaning it provides as much notability to the subject as an average Valnet source. Beyond that, Game Rant briefly discussed it, but it also does not add to notability and is part of this listicle. I checked Japanese sources, and found only passing mentions of the game's existence, and the sources in the article are either routine coverage of the game's announcement or not enough to establish notability.

@BD2412, @Goldsztajn, @Dympies, does the presence of List of federal political scandals in the United States change your analysis? - Enos733 (talk) 18:22, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some of the differences between the two. The List of federal political scandals in the United States is difficult to read, includes legislators who are not associated with presidents, and is impossible to compare across presidencies. That article also does not categorize scandals by type and excludes Criticism from former allies, excludes turnover comparison, and excludes family members category. Superb Owl (talk) 18:27, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not suggest there are no differences - but the way List of controversies of recent U.S. Presidents is presented (to me), is very confusing and there is no information about the "controversy" and does not address the very real content concerns raised by BD2412, Goldsztajn, and Dympies. Looking at the list in the article, I do not know what "Major criticism of the President" means - does that mean the individual listed expressed concerns about the president? Also, I should be able to know at a glance why Eric Lander was part of a Biden administration scandal. I was about to say this should be TNT'd, but then I found a much more comprehensive article already written. - Enos733 (talk) 18:37, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comprehensive in some areas but not in others. There is a real lack of discussion of presidential scandals in Wikipedia. I think given the growing power of the presidency, that we need a more coherent article to summarize the performance of presidents along these lines that is not bogged down with a massive list of congressman and judges and others that are not part of the executive branch Superb Owl (talk) 18:47, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree that there is a need for an article substantively focused on the performance of presidential administrations in this area (not just general occurrences in other branches coinciding with the timing of a presidential administration), and that what constitutes a "scandal" or "controversy" should be well-defined for inclusion. The latter is something missing from this article, but readily fixable within its scope. BD2412 T 20:42, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Superb Owl - the only consideration is reliable sourcing - our own perceptions of the changing status of the US Presidency can't inform this discussion. @Enos733 - thanks for the ping and drawing my attention to the other article. I'm looking at this purerly from a sourcing (ie notability) perspective. For this list, I find sourcing that satisfies this specific class, but which does not statisfy a general list of federal political scandals. Looking at the federal list, notwithstanding WP:NEXIST, I do not see sourcing present in that article which satisfies that specific class. Given the prominance in the sourcing assocated with Presidents, this list, at least on first glance, has a stronger founding in sourcing and thus a stronger claim for notability.

Keep or rename to something like "Personnel scandals of President Donald Trump."

Timeline of virtualization development

It is not at all clear what anything in this article has to do with Virtualization or "Virtualization development" which is not defined in the article or even the article it links to (which I have also opened an AFD for). This appears to mostly consist of WP:OR and I don't think there's any way of cleaning it up or establishing notability as it is completely unclear what the article is even supposed to be about. If not deleted, I believe this needs to be moved to "Timeline of computer virtualization" or something similar and will require a complete rewrite. 🌸wasianpower🌸 (talk • contribs) 03:44, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Virtualization Development

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

This article does not distinguish Virtualization development from the concept of virtualization. It was recently changed from a redirect to an article by moving material from timeline of virtualization development, but unfortunately that material does not seem to make it at all clear what the subject matter of this article is intended to be. I would guess from the title it is the use of virtual machines for software development, or the development of virtual machines but I don't think either of these merit their own article at it is also not at all discussed in the article as it stands. It also appears to largely consist of WP:OR, and notability cannot be established since it's unclear what the article is about in the first place. I would propose it be merged into Virtualization but I don't think there's anything in the article worth moving at this time. 🌸wasianpower🌸 (talk • contribs) 03:40, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: According to WP:REDIRECT: "If editors cannot agree, the content issues should be discussed at the relevant talk page, and other methods of dispute resolution should be used, such as restoring the article and nominating the article for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.^[1]", citing an RFC. So it's not necessary, but according to that guideline when the article is contested some form of outside input is necessary and AFD is an option.

It does seem kind of like a requested move what with everyone talking about the primary topic and all: the thing I just quoted doesn't mention disambiguations?

Airport mentioned seems to be the Hartford–Brainard Airport.

I guess a {{redirect}} template could be added, and a KHFD (disambiguation) page could be created?

Support redirect on the grounds that the other options are the former name of a no-longer existent radio station and part of the code of another small radio station that doesn't actually have its own article. Mrfoogles (talk) 02:12, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (and tag for clean up). The disambiguation page (as at the time of this comment) lists 3 legitimate uses. It would be difficult to assert a primary topic. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:17, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Procedurally, I could withdraw this nomination and request a move of the disambiguation page now. But I would say that an active airport is primary to a former callsign of a defunct municipal radio station and a municipal TV station (with 600 Google hits for "KHFD-LD" vs 88000 for "KHFD"). 1234qwer 1234qwer 4 14:52, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-advertorialized article about an organization, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for organizations. As always, every organization on earth is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because it exists -- we need to see evidence that the organization would pass WP:GNG and WP:ORGDEPTH on third-party coverage and analysis about the organization. But this is referenced mainly to primary sources, such as its own self-published content about itself, the self-published websites of partner organizations and directory entries, that are not support for notability -- and meanwhile, the very few GNG-worthy media hits here just glancingly namecheck the organization's founder as a provider of a short soundbite in an article about something else, which is not about this organization and thus does not support its notability.

The sourcing on this article is a mess. Far, far too many citations to sources that don't help with notability, which makes assessing it very difficult. I have gone through every single reference and found exactly one that in my opinion shows notability: Soultracks bio, which looks like an independent and in-depth biography. Doing a search, I have found: Hot Hits book, a little snippet; Charisma and Christian Life, a frustratingly obscured piece that looks to be mostly about an album but I can't be sure. The second source Atlantic306 has noted is an interview, which cannot contribute to notability (sorry).

In short, based on the sources I could find, delete. It feels like there should be enough RS somewhere out there, but they're not in the article and I can't find enough to say keep. Atlantic306, do you have access to any offline sources that are pushing you towards keep? He seems like he ought to be notable...maybe some of his albums are notable and we could redirect?

Keep, passes WP:NACTOR. Just go to Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and ctrl-f his character Sethupathi. He has played negative roles (in films such as Badrinath) which may have garnered more recognition than Evvarikee Cheppoddu.[36] DareshMohan (talk) 15:52, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Draftify. The subject's whole career is from unreliable source 123Telugu.com. If you take out everything from the career that is solely from unreliable source, nothing is left. 2 other unreliable sources are Indiaglitz and idlebrain. TimesofIndia source WP:NEWSORGINDIA is also just an interview for WP:PROMO of upcoming film. Fails WP:SIGCOV on the subject's career to consider a standalone notable page but also opting for draftify if the page can be improved with significant coverage with reliable secondary independent sources. Page also fails WP:NBIO. RangersRus (talk) 15:29, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: None of the sources currently cited could be called significant coverages, nothing really significant has happened to the person. Please see WP:NOTPROMO. In case the person would one day has enough notability, I don't oppose moving the article to userspace for now. Nihonjinatny (talk) 16:10, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nihonjinatny, why would this article be moved to User space rather than Draft space? No one has asked for it to be userfied and the article creator is blocked. I'm just surprised at your suggestion. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:16, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The sources are tabloid and the subject doesn't have notability to the degree independent of the movies they starred in. To make matters worse, some of the movie articles cross-linked are themselves poorly sourced. This article has also been deleted before, only to be resurrected by a now-blocked editor with a history of WP:COI. What changed from that time? Absolutely nothing. Rather than a biography of a living person, this article is a spamcruftvertisement. It's full of useless junk, pointless trivia, and serves only to promote the career of an otherwise non-notable actor.

List of entertainment events at the SM Mall of Asia complex

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

Fails WP:NLIST overall, as the content of the lists aren't notable as a group. Seems to fail WP:NOTDB. Other problems exist: Verifiability varies, but many of these are poorly referenced. Almost all events cataloged are not independently notable. The lists don't have clear inclusion criteria -- "entertainment events" doesn't specifically exclude or include sporting events, for example. While the lists are mostly music performances, other performances are ignored. mikeblas (talk) 17:16, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

delete nonencyclopedic. WIkipedia not catalog. --Altenmann >talk 17:41, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep These need to be individually nominated (and some were already kept once or twice before individually); some events are naturally excluded because they're not meant for public attendance (for instance, shareholder meetings or private religious rallies) or don't meet our criteria plain and simple (made for TV events or an obvious industry plant where those in the crowd are paid to be there and fill seats or all get free tickets). As always with these >5 article nominations I just don't see a bulk nom as a good way to filter through GNG/N. Nate • (chatter) 19:36, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at the talk page for all of these, and the only ones that had prior AFD results were Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of entertainers who have performed at the Mall of Asia, which closed as keep (dubiously), and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Entertainment events at Perth Arena, which closed as no consensus, neither of which had a second nomination, so I'm not sure where you're getting that from. In any case, dumping these all down at once as separate nominations will not produce any more meaningful results than bundling them together, so this just isn't a good argument. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 14:05, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's a bit confusing as "List of entertainers" was nominated under a different name. And I see the "Perth Arena" does have a previous nomination, but my first-time nomination links all work, leading here. -- mikeblas (talk) 02:16, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated them together because the concerns about failing WP:NOTDB and WP:NLIST and having weak inclusion criteria apply to all of the topics. -- mikeblas (talk) 02:11, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete against policy and guidelines: WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:NLIST. None of the lists have notability as a class. Regards--Goldsztajn (talk) 06:15, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep. The variety of venues makes it impossible to vote here imv. And if i was to vote, I would argue most of these lists are about notable topics as a set and might meet WP:SPLITLIST (and vote Keep all). However, the nominator is in my opinion totally right regarding the fact that certain of these lists would need a better definition of their respective scope, and more sources. But that can be discussed on talk pages.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 19:08, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"In my view" Geschichte (talk) 15:31, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. First of all, any complaints about the bundled nomination are nonsense. These are all extremely similar, and dumping 30 listings at once isn't going to be any better in terms of coverage or participation. If (and that's a big if) anyone thinks that any of these lists are sufficiently unique enough of a case to warrant an individual nomination, they can always explain why, and nomination can be updated to have any like that separate.
And second, Wikipedia is not a database of concert (or "entertainment" even) performances. Some of these are wildly unsourced, and for those that do have sources, they tend to be primary to the venue, or just some local news coverage that yes, an aging Def Leppard played here, but no one cared enough to show up. That doesn't pass the smell test for NLIST, as especially evidenced by the vague inclusion criteria. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 21:58, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep these need to be considered individually, Bundling them, while simpler for the person nominating, makes it very difficult for those assessing each articles individual value. While I can evaluate the worth of some venues, I can not evaluate all venues. I would also challenge any of you who a suggesting a sweeping delete of all to prove, on the basis of each particular venue named, that that particular venues list should be deleted. Some may be more appropriately merged into the venues article rather than deleted. The bundled nomination makes no sense in this instance. NealeWellington (talk) 12:10, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I explained immediately above, having 30 individual nominations dumped at once isn't going to make a bit of difference in terms of ease of evaluation, and will probably only serve to fragment discussion of this general type of article. And like I also explained, if you think there are any that deserve to get pulled out because they're sufficiently different, you can always just say so, and I doubt anyone would throw up much of a fuss about it. And it's not anyone's job to "prove" that an article should get deleted, an impossible task anyway. People have explained why they think these should be deleted, and just asking for more bureaucratic process without actually demonstrating how it might help just comes across as stonewalling. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 19:54, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A proceedural keep vote might be acceptable if one could show a flaw in the rationale being applied to all the nominations. That is, if one cited reliable sources showing a couple (just two or three) satisfied WP:NLIST, then it would be quite reasonable to argue that the mass nominaton raised questions about appropriate levels of WP:BEFORE and would make a stronger case for invididual nominations. But to date, not a single RS has been shown that satisfies NLIST for a single venue. These appear nothing more than directory listings and as such are against policy. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 21:33, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What is a "procedural keep vote"? I don't think I've ever heard of it before, and there are two such votes here now. Where can I read about the vote meanings used in AfD? -- mikeblas (talk) 15:20, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mikeblas a procedual keep is when the nomination for deletion contains errors, see WP:PROCEDURALCLOSE. Worth noting, it's a different from a speedy keep. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 20:42, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I've heard of a procedural closure before, but never a "procedural keep". To me, they seem quite different: "keep" implies that a decision to keep was made, dismissing the AfD with prejudice ... when really that isn't the intent. (Or is it?) -- mikeblas (talk) 20:46, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All procedural closes will by definition be keeps in that specific instance (but not necessarily in general); in contrast "procedural deletes" are covered by WP:CSD. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 21:09, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When an AfD is closed keep, there's the implication that it shouldn't be re-nominated again until some time has passed. Is that also true for a "procedural keep" closure? I think that's so, and that's why I identify a difference between "procedural close" and "procedural keep". -- mikeblas (talk) 13:52, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing obliges you to evaluate the worth (do you mean "notability"?) of any venues. Instead, we're evaluating WP:NLIST and WP:NOTDB which applies to all of these articles: are the performances notable, as a group? I think they're not, and I think that applies uniformly. I don't appreciate the implication of laziness. -- mikeblas (talk) 03:03, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The difficulty with bundling these articles together is there is no opportunity to address an individual article over the bundle of articles. If for instance I can establish notability for one article, then it will be deleted because the other articles are not notable or if one article is better merged with a corresponding article about the particular venue then the same problem applies. That is what I have an objection to/problem with. I accept there a are are instances where bundling is appropriate, but I don't think this is one of them. Sorry to ruffle your feathers Mike - it wasn't my intention. Please accept my apology, but my overall objection still stands. NealeWellington (talk) 09:51, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your apology. Is Wikipeidia process really so inflexible that individual exceptions can't be filtered from a bulk nomination without closing the bulk nomination and re-nominating the articles discretely? Seems sad, if so, that such a process stands in the way of doing the right thing. Not to be obstinate, but I don't know what individual nominations would change. If I re-nominated each article, I'd explain the same thing again and again: there's no demonstration of notability of the group of performances, and that doesn't satisfy WP:NLIST; plus, there are concerns about WP:NOTDB. How would that be meaningfully different for each? -- mikeblas (talk) 15:37, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@NealeWellington Nothing in the process suggests one (or more than one) cannot be found notable. I'd certainly support a relisting individually if a couple could be found to satisfy NLIST...but no one seems to be able to identify RS for a single one.

Relisting comment: I'm relisting discussion for another week as it is not realistic to ask participants to evaluate 28 articles over 7 days and because discussion is still ongoing in this discussion. To answer a couple of questions, I've seen bundled nominations closed as Procedural Keeps and the next day, each article has been nominated individually so a nominator doesn't have to wait months for a follow-up. Secondly, I've seen individual articles removed from bundled nominations so it is worth the time to argue to Keep individual articles if you think that notability can be established. I realize that a bundled nomination can seem overwhelming to editors that are inclusionists but the Delete closure is not a done deal. Make your case, for one or two articles or for them all.

Navigation tool? What's wrong with a category or a template? That doesn't really seem like a valid argument for keeping the article. Govvy (talk) 23:03, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Govvy: I agree that the argument might not be valid, but Altenmann has a point about navigation. If someone is reading Wikipedia and looking for a list of telecommunication companies in the Americas, they probably wouldn't look at a category, and a template would be wayyyy too long if we were listing all the companies. (For templates, though, we could split the companies up further into Telecommunications companies in X country, but frankly that would probably overcomplicate a lot of things and it would take up a lot of time.) Heck, before I dove deep into Wikipedia, I didn't even know what a category was.

Keep. I'm not sure what part of WP:DIRECTORY this fails. This list does not consist of simple listings, the topics here are not loosely associated, not non-encylcopedic cross-categorizations, a genealogical entry, electronic program guide, or a resource for conducting business. Grouping telecommunication companies together by area sounds reasonable to me. We have lists like List of companies listed on the National Stock Exchange of India, how are those lists not directories when this one, apparently, is? IMHO I think that the North and South America telecom companies should be separated but this does not fail WP:DIRECTORY. ‍Relativity ⚡️ 18:47, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
