WP:TOOSOON article about a film that only just commenced photography a matter of days ago, and is not yet close to commercial release. I initially redirected this to the television series, only to have the creator revert me on the grounds of WP:NFF -- but NFF does not hand every forthcoming film an automatic inclusion freebie just because it's started shooting, because even films that have started shooting can still fall apart and never actually get released at all.
NFF admittedly isn't crystal clear about how notability really works for films -- I'll grant that it can be interpreted the way the creator wants it to be, if you cherry-pick NFF while ignoring the rest of NFILM, but that's actually incorrect. The actual notability test for unreleased films is as follows: even once principal photography has commenced, a film is still not notable yet unless it generates a massively outsized volume of production coverage on the order of the Star Wars franchise. Most films do not receive that depth of production coverage, however, and can be referenced only to a very small handful of sources, just as this one is -- so most films are not considered notable enough for standalone articles until they have been released.
Further, two of the four sources here are Uproxx and a non-notable film blog, which are unreliable sources that cannot help to establish a film's notability at all — which means that what's left is not enough coverage to get this into the "ubernotable like Star Wars" class of films instead of the "wait until a release date is confirmed" class. So no prejudice against recreation once a release date (and an actual title) have actually been announced, but making a film notable enough for a standalone article while it's still in the production pipeline requires a lot more than just one source confirmating that the film has started shooting.

  • Speedy keep It is not “cherry picking”. The project at most needs to be filming. It also needs media coverage, which it has garnered. It’s notable and it’s so absurd that because it’s not titled yet it’s up for deletion. I used only one source to verify the filming, but I can easily add in plenty more. It passes the requirements to exist in the mainspace. Rusted AutoParts 00:08, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
With extremely rare exceptions that require much more sourcing than has been shown here, the requirement for a film to exist in mainspace is that it has been released. Bearcat (talk) 00:36, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It has four sources actually. By which source do you think is a blog? The article doesn’t need to have a release date or a title to meet requirements that so silly. Rusted AutoParts 00:09, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Which source do I think is a blog? How about the one that says it's a blog right in its own damn masthead? I'll let you go discover which one that is for yourself, but trust me that one of them does. And I said there were four sources here, but pointed out why two of them aren't cutting any ice — so what makes you think saying "it has four sources actually" is some kind of mic drop? Bearcat (talk) 00:33, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It’s on you to bolster your claim, say the name here. And it’s not a mic drop, we’re not in a rap battle. I am battling in Defense of a Wikipedia guideline being trampled on by ones personal pickiness. Rusted AutoParts 00:42, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've already provided all the "bolstering" as I'm obligated to — the reason I'm telling you to go find it for yourself is because I want you to notice the thing you were supposed to notice before you used it as a reference in the first place, so I'm under no obligation to do your homework for you. I don't have to name the source before it's "proven" — the source's presence in the article proves itself. And if you think I'm the one being "personally picky" while you're "defending a Wikipedia guideline", then you've got that bass-ackward — I am expressing no variant personal opinions of any sort, and am simply applying NFILM exactly 100 per cent correctly to the way NFILM works: being able to source that principal photography has commenced is not a free notability pass for every unreleased film, but applies only to a select tier of hypernotable films that get a lot of coverage while most other films do have to wait until they're released. Not because I said so, but because tens of thousands of past AFD discussions on unreleased films said so. Bearcat (talk) 01:04, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
/Film gets cited by most reliable sources. As it's so bothersome to you it's very easily replaceable. And yes, it is your personal opinion that the articles you've nominated aren't notable. This Breaking Bad movie has been extensively discussed in the trades, and has been directly discussed by a cast member on notable talk shows. How is that not notable coverage? Rusted AutoParts 01:21, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
For one thing, Q&A interviews in which a person who is directly associated with the film is speaking about it himself are not independent of the film — read the "reliable sources" section of NFILM, specifically the bullet point on "independence". A person who has a direct personal affiliation with the film speaking about it in his own words doesn't help to establish its notability, because he's directly affiliated with it. For another, the amount of coverage that the film has received as of this point is not "unusual", compared to most films, at all — literally any film that gets started at all can always show one or two or three sources. What it takes to make a film notable while it's still in the production pipeline is a volume of coverage that significantly exceeds what most films routinely get. Bearcat (talk) 01:32, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That was not the point. You mentioned “hypernotable films that get a lot of coverage”. Being discussed and promoted ona widely viewed talk show, where’s it confirmed there, is the highest possible coverage a developing project can receive. Regardless, witholding film articles until only when they get released is a disservice to readers wondering about these projects, and that isn’t what I was led to believe Wikipedia was all about. Rusted AutoParts 05:42, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I will ask if those who feel this isn’t warranting mainspace status yet to vote for it to be returned to draftspace. It’ll be a complete waste of time for me if all the time and work I put into assembling this article is tossed away just because it doesn’t have a title yet. Rusted AutoParts 01:01, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep Even if the worst happens and this film ends up never seeing the inside of a cinema, it'll likely still be noteworthy enough to document what happened with its production. —Locke Cole • t • c 00:47, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - the film passes notability guidelines. Let's be honest the only reason this is being discussed is that it doesn't have a proper title, but that is not a reason to delete the article. As it passes NFF, it should remain - we'll get a title soon enough, and the page can be moved accordingly. I also feel that Locke Cole makes a very salient point.

THE. NOTABILITY. TEST. FOR. FILMS. IS. A. COMMERCIAL. RELEASE. DATE. Bearcat (talk) 01:04, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WHERE. IS. THAT. IN. FILM. GUIDELINES. Rusted AutoParts 01:07, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines." It's even right there in the NFF section, exactly where you said it wasn't. Bearcat (talk) 01:32, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And who dictates whether the production is noteworthy? You? Hate to live in that world. A film with reliably sourced production should remain, end of. Rusted AutoParts 01:49, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Every film can always show a source or two about its production. What makes a film notable on that basis is the ability to show a volume of sourcing that expands well beyond the simply expected and routine, as in the Star Wars or Marvel franchises. Bearcat (talk) 14:48, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And that’s just an unrealistic metric, and one that hardly any upcoming project not a tentpole project can ever hope to live up to. The metric/requirement that I’ve been conditioned to follow in my years on this site is we had to reliably prove the film will actually happen. IE, filming dates, location shoots, casting, when filming ends, etc. Not once has the condition that “it must be released been insisted upon. Maybe it would be easier if you showed a few examples of these AFDs you keep talking about, I’ll show you AFDs that the film not filming yet was the only reason why it was not able to be in mainspace.

  • Delete per nom. Spleodrach (talk) 18:06, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As with the nominator and other contributors, I have spent a little time reviewing the text and the references linked in the article (and other mentions of the subject elsewhere), and do not see that WP:NBIO is met. Does the subject's name appear in some tech-press articles? Yes. Is it non-trivial coverage? No - probably not. Take for example, this Wired UK article from 2011 which is used to support some of the text. It is substantively about an app and its creator - who isn't the subject here. The subject here is mentioned - as the app's developer (coder). This is just one example, but it is one of several that do not substantively contribute to GNG and NBIO. While the subject is, undoubtedly, the primary topic in some other coverage (like this Irish Times piece), I am disquieted by the level of "extrapolation" in the article text that was made of this coverage. (Coverage in two tech-press articles does not support a claim of being a "poster child". Nor does one link to an awards page support a claim of winning "many accolades and awards"). In honesty, it is this level of inappropriate COI, PROMO and AUTOBIO that has pushed me from 'maybe there is a little coverage....' to 'delete for GNG, COI and NOTCV reasons'. In short: Delete. Guliolopez (talk) 00:46, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Per nom. He has written some iPhone apps which are not in themselves notable; they would never qualify for a WP article - E.g. he would not pass as a tech-BLP. Because he writes apps, he gets early editions of new iPhones and then reviews them for the Irish media (doesn't appear for wider tech products), and per Guliolopez, the good RS he throws up are not specifically about him per se, but his name being mentioned in the course of doing an upcoming iPhone review for Irish media.

Consider reading WP:NOTPOINTy. You seem to accuse me of that whenever I am starting discussions.

  • Keep and re-write to include the Test match five wicket hauls - the article says there have been 45 of them. That's more than enough given the history of the ground. I have concerns about the renomination as well, but will take each of the nominations as individual cases for now. I will, however, note my surprise that this article in particular has been nominated and my disappointment with the POINTY nature of the comment by the nominator in response to comments above.

  • Delete or Redirect to the stadium article where this stuff, in cases such as this, can be dealt with. In three Test matches there have been five five-wicket hauls, suggesting the feat is, in the case of this ground, not particularly notable. There is already a "numbers" area on the stadium article and I'd suggest that this content would be best dealt with there. Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:21, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Complete the list or redirect if no-one's willing to do that. I could 15 Test and 2 ODI five wicket hauls at this stadium in a reasonable number of matches. The list shows three of these. The numbers are reasonable for a standalone list, but only if someone's willing to actually complete it. Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:25, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and complete - I'll complete this list now.

    I assume you referred to this one. It didn't fell because I was blocked, no consensus was reached anyways. It's quite difficult to discuss there. Members accused me of WP:POINT and claimed that "AFD "episode 2"" and I quote one of them, "there was no good reason shown at the AFD to delete and there's absolutely no good reason to "merge by country".".

  • Keep and complete the list. There are absolutely tonnes (like, >50) of Test match five wicket hauls but whoever decided to create the article was, frankly, too lazy to bother with them. If no-one's willing to add them then by all means redirect to the ground where a prose summary might be written. A note might be placed on the article creator's talk page suggesting that they might want to actually bother to do things properly in future - this is not the only case lists have been created partially.

Comment The Amazon links and the Google Books link do nothing but demonstrate that he has written a number of self-published books. The books have received no non-UGC reviews as far as I can tell, and so this does not demonstrate notability.

The article is one of many mass-produced stubs, and appears to be a simple misreading. "Unincorporated Top End Region" appears on a map to indicate that the area is unincorporated, not that it is incorporated with the word "Unincorporated" at the beginning of its title Imaginatorium (talk) 17:16, 17 February 2019 (UTC) (Followup comment by proposer) Note that I added a comment to Top End to the effect that much/most of it is unincorporated. This is probably, I submit, all that needs to be said about the local government (non-)arrangements in this region. Imaginatorium (talk) 03:31, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Author Comment I already explained Imaginatorium about this. Look like he is not paying much attention and recommending articles to delete. This is completely wasting my time and others and also others also explained him about this. Please refer this too: https://regional.gov.au/local/publications/reports/2014_2015/National_LGA_15.pdf. Reference one is clearly noted "Finniss-Mary is part of Unincorporated Top End Region" as it is mentioned in the articles. I also informed him the cousil structure in England is differed from the administration structure in Australia by informing him "administration structures are differed from country to country" based on his reply.Shevonsilva (talk) 17:29, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
He is also recommending to delete a 2nd level administrative division of the world 6th largest country. 17:43, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm not familiar with the general practices for these stubs, but it seems like what can be said about Unincorporated Top End Region can be covered in Northern Territory. I found this explanation on a gov't pdf: The Unincorporated Top End Region contains those areas in the NT that are not part of an incorporated local government council area and therefore no local government consents or licenses are anticipated to be required for the development of the CBC and BMC. Schazjmd (talk) 17:39, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Yes, it is a part of it and administration structure is well different. Shevonsilva (talk) 17:43, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Since you seem to claim to be an expert on this, can you explain what exactly is the "administration structure" of the part of NT which is unincorporated in the "Top End" region? Can you say anything which might convince me that you understand what "unincorporated" means? Imaginatorium (talk) 17:46, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. The nearest interpretation i found is unincorporated = Unlike many other countries, Australia has only one level of local government immediately beneath state and territorial governments. A local government area (LGA) often contains several towns and even entire cities. Thus, aside from very sparsely populated areas and a few other special cases, almost all of Australia is part of an LGA. Unincorporated areas are often in remote locations, cover vast areas or have very small populations. Postal addresses in unincorporated areas, as in other parts of Australia, normally use the suburb or locality names gazetted by the relevant state or territorial government. Thus, there is rarely any ambiguity regarding addresses in unincorporated areas. and the above interpretation is also covering idea of administrative structures related to unincorporated regions. Shevonsilva (talk) 01:59, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The current stub says less than the entry in the table Current local government areas, and I am not sure that there is much more that could be said. Having gone to that table, I also saw the stub article for Darwin Rates Act Area. In the table, that name is followed in brackets by 'East Arm', and I think that East Arm is a much more likely search term. A major feature at East Arm is Port Darwin, but that article says nothing about which local government area (LGA) it is in. If it is the Darwin Rates Act Area (I will have to check more), it would be much more useful to have the LGA named in the Port Darwin article than have a separate stub. I'm not sure about the Unincorporated Top End Region, which has in brackets 'Finnis-Mary' (presumably meant to be Finniss-Mary). I think it may be the LGA for two geographically separated areas, around the Finniss River southwest of Darwin, and the Mary River east of Darwin. I'll check for more information and think about where it would most usefully be included. RebeccaGreen (talk) 23:19, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm assuming "LGA" is "Local Government Area", which surely means an area having a local government entity. But this is (part of) the majority unincorporated area of Northern Territories, and has no local government. It is therefore not an "LGA".

  • Comment. I am not well but I will join this soon. Shevonsilva (talk) 00:09, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The idea that the Unincorporated Top End Area is an LGA is oxymoronic, or so it seems: if it's unincorporated, how can it have local government? This isn't the USA, where you have county governments everywhere, and they're generally a mix of municipalities and unincorporated areas. Meanwhile, citation #1 treats unincorporated territory the same way, regardless of whether it's most of the territory (pre-reform) or just occasional bits (post-reform). So I suspect that the contents are entirely wrong, and while it may be reasonable to have an article covering these places, it wouldn't keep any of the current content. Note that {{Local Government Areas of the Northern Territory}} gained a link to this title in May 2011, courtesy of ClaretAsh, but that seems like a convenience thing (in the USA, we do this regularly, e.g. the "unorganized territories" section of {{Piscataquis County, Maine}}) so the unincorporated areas wouldn't get left out. Nyttend (talk) 01:17, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have modified the content to remove the disambiguity and depending on the consensus, it can be modified again. The exact term "Unincorporated Top End Region" is the general term used and I must be there as I believe. Thanks.

  • Strong Keep not sure what most of the discussion really shows about understanding some of the more idiosyncratic aspects of governance over land in the Northern Territory, but my position is, if it is indentified as being part of the land of the Northern Territory, however slight the stub might be I see no reason to delete it. JarrahTree 06:17, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete on the basis of WP:TNT, the article being so minimal that it is highly confusing and hence misleading. The subject looks like it is just the statistical collation of left over non contiguous areas which are not otherwise incorporated. This either needs to be properly explained, and thence with whatever data is relevant, OR it becomes simply a redirect and merge to a main Northern Territory article where the left over bits can be described. The content of a lot of the good faith but opposing discussion points above I suggest demonstrates the current encyclopedic failings of the article. Aoziwe (talk) 10:24, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Did you properly check the article? You can click on hyperlinks if you don't understand any part. Which part is misleading? did you check what we are talking here? Thanks. Shevonsilva (talk) 11:26, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes and yes. I had to read through the references to work out what the article was about. A reader should not have to do that. If a reader cannot get a basic understanding of the subject matter by reading the article, which by definition is why an article exists at all, then the article has a serious problem. For example, the text is an unincorporated area as far as I can tell from the references is simply wrong. As far as I can tell it should read something like is an administrative grouping of unincorporated areas. I suggest if the article was fit for purpose it would not be at AfD at all. If you feel I still have the wrong end of the stick then I suggest it just adds weight to my belief that the article is critically lacking. It should not be too hard for someone who knows a bit about LGAs, etc., in the NT to fix. Regards. Aoziwe (talk) 12:06, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Aoziwe, it may look from the stub as if it is "the statistical collation of left over non contiguous areas which are not otherwise incorporated", but it's not - it's two areas, which may be contiguous, I'm not sure. (I found a good map yesterday, but can't find it now.) There are other unincorporated regions, including 3 others which could be considered part of the Top End - Alyangula, Nhulunbuy Corporation (does that still apply, now the mine has closed, I wonder??) and "Darwin Rates Act Area". Without any further information, I agree that this stub is highly confusing, and not helpful at all. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:18, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • This link, currently reference 4, as far as I can tell names fivefour geographically separate areas making up the Unincorporated Top End Region. Cheers. Aoziwe (talk) 12:28, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, that makes it even more confusing. That is certainly not what the article Local government areas of the Northern Territory indicates, as it lists Nhulunbuy, Alyangula, and the "Darwin Rates Act Area" separately from the "Unincorporated Top End Region". The ABS page definitely includes Yulara, so the population figures don't apply to this article. At the moment, that seems to be all I'm sure about! If I had time, and as I live in the NT, I could maybe ask in the relevant department (surely an NT government department, not the federal Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development which prepared that map???) - but that's unlikely for a few weeks at least. RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:19, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, the ABS page is for "Unincorporated NT", which is not the same as the unincorporated Top End. The latter forms part of unincorporated NT. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:27, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete I am also going for WP:TNT, despite the article having only one sentence, and despite the creator's best intentions. The discussion here shows how confusing that sentence is! The article Local government areas of the Northern Territory may be slightly confusing in including unincorporated areas in the table of LGAs - I think that may be because they are defined in and excluded from the NT Local Government Act, which I have been trying to find online (so far without success). I think the unincorporated areas are more accurately termed Statistical Local Areas [7], which is an Australian Bureau of Statistics term, but it seems that the NT calls them Local Government Areas even though they have no local government. A confusing state of affairs which is not helped by this article, unfortunately. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:26, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I support the retention for much the same reasons as 'JarrahTree'. For your information, I have edited the article including the replacement of "Category:Local government areas of the Northern Territory" with "Category:Unincorporated areas of the Northern Territory". Also, I have upgraded "Template:Local Government Areas of the Northern Territory" to identified the unincorporated areas existing in the NT. I will continue to add to the article tomorrow as it is late in South Australia. Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 12:45, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suggest the adding the coords as you have is highly misleading. As far as I can tell, there are four separate areas making up the region, each separated by hundreds of kilometers, at three very different corners of the compass, with large incorporated areas between them. I really do think the article needs a complete reset, and any map and infobox needs to show the four areas as per the current reference 4 does. Aoziwe (talk) 13:00, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
HI  Aoziwe, I disgree with your statement. The coordinates are NOT misleading; they are representative. The infobox template used on the article only allows for one set of coordinates; I look at a source (i.e. Division of Lingiari map at AEC map) and noticed that the Unincorporated Top End Region includes the Litchfield National Park which is a well-known place if you have lived in the Northern Territory. Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 19:47, 19 February 2019 (UTC).[reply]
Where did these coordinates come from? Were they reliably sourced? On Google maps the coordinates are about half wway between Adelaide River and Litchfield while this map shows areas well to the east stretching from the coast in the north to almost as far south as Katherine's latitude. The coords are not representative of this region at all. --AussieLegend (✉) 20:22, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, that is misleading, although there are only two areas (Finniss River area, and Mary River area) within this unincorporated area, and they are not separated by hundreds of kilometers! The ABS "Unincorporated NT", now included in a reference in the article, shows ALL the unincorporated areas in the NT, not just the "Unincorporated Top End Region". Zoom in and move around on the map on the ABS link, and you will also see Nhulunbuy in East Arnhem, Alyangula on Groote Eylandt, the "Darwin Rates Act Area" under the letters WIN in Darwin, and Yulara near Uluru in Central Australia. They are all unincorporated areas, but not part of this "Unincorporated Top End Region", which comprises the Finniss region (to the west of Darwin) and the Mary region (to the east of Darwin), and which appears to be separated only by a small stretch of the Stuart Highway. Having any article about the "Unincorporated Top End Region" which does not show a map with those two regions highlighted would be useless (as this discussion here rather shows!) RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:00, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • And I meant to add, the population given by the ABS is for all the unincorporated areas, not just for the one this article is about, so that should also be removed from this article. RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:05, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
How many maps and definitions are there of this thing called "Unincorporated Top End Region"? This NTFederal Government link, currently reference 2, defines "Unincorporated Top End Region" as four areas (Finniss, Douglas-Daly, Nhulunby, Alyangula, the latter two being a very long way from the former two). This ABS link seems to define "Unincorporated Top End Region" as only one area (Finniss-Mary) and does not provide any separate data for it, instead using the legacy statistical unit of a very different thing called "Unincorporated NT". From the (sub)area names you have provided there seems to be a third definition? All this just goes to show that the current article is fatally flawed. If we are to have an article called "Unincorporated Top End Region" it must correctly go into this type of detail. Regards. Aoziwe (talk) 23:11, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have also included the sub-areas too, and, coordinates were removed till someone comes up with a better map. Shevonsilva (talk) 22:51, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Aoziwe, very good question! I am not at all sure how accurate that first map is (a federal government map, not an NT one) - it shows Douglas-Daly where other maps have the "Mary" part of Finniss-Mary. Douglas-Daly is probably the lower part of that region (see [8]), but I would be very surprised if it was used to refer to the whole of the area extending to the northern coast, as shown on the government map. That's where the Mary River is. RebeccaGreen (talk) 09:55, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
RebeccaGreen. I must have missed it somewhere. Can you provide me with a link to "your" map. Thanks. Aoziwe (talk) 10:57, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mean where I found Douglas-Daly? That was just Google Maps, which that #2 is a link to - but if it doesn't work for you, just google Douglas-Daly, and I expect you'll see what I did. I just looked at the website of the NT Dept of Local Government, Housing and Community Development before, and there really is no Local Government Act online - just a review report dated (I think) 2016. There are maps of the local government areas, but none of the areas that don't have local governments. Not very helpful! RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks RebeccaGreen. I found the google maps version of Douglas-Daly BUT that is different from the "Fed" version. It shows only the southern portion and does not refer to the northeastern portion in the "Fed" version. Just more confusion. Without some expert authority to sort it all out this article, any references I can find are just all contradictory and any article it seems at this point in time is simply unsafe. Aoziwe (talk) 09:12, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shevonsilva, in my reply to Aoziwe, I referred to the link to Google maps that I included in my comment above, starting "very good question". It shows the Douglas-Daly region. I was not referring to any references included in the article. RebeccaGreen (talk) 07:55, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The main reason for the deletion for is "The article is one of many mass-produced stubs, and appears to be a simple misreading. "Unincorporated Top End Region" appears on a map to indicate that the area is unincorporated, not that it is incorporated with the word "Unincorporated" at the beginning of its title", and, now it is clear that the reason is not right. I hope we can keep the article. Thank. Shevonsilva (talk) 21:17, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, at the time the article was nominated it said The Unincorporated Top End Region is a local government area of the Northern Territory, Australia,[9] which is clearly not correct and was indeed "a simple misreading". That there is still confusion over what actually constitutes the region to the point that incorrect population figures and coordinates have been added still does not bode well for the article. --AussieLegend (✉) 07:51, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Confused The NT_LGA_15 map that is used as a reference to the statement that there are two areas shows 4 as it includes "Nhulunby" (I think it means Nhulunbuy) and Alyangula as well. Local government areas of the Northern Territory has a table that includes unincorporated areas including one called "Nhulunbuy Corporation". Is there any government department (at any level) that treats the Unincorporated Top End Region in aggregate, but differently from the rest of the seven unincorporated areas of the NT? If so, I would !vote to keep this article and include that information. if not, then this article has little meaning and needs to be deleted and/or split to each unincorporated area or merged to an article covering them all. The article as it stood when i read it doesn't mean anything. --Scott Davis Talk 03:26, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The second reference notes the aggregation with the statement, "Alyangula and Nhulunbuy townships both come under a Special Purpose Lease, East Arm is on Darwin Rates Act Area land, Finniss-Mary is part of Unincorporated Top End Region and Yulara township is currently owned by private interests."

  • Merge to International military intervention against ISIL. Arguably there is enough independent RS coverage to ring the WP:N bell for this topic. But just because something is notable doesn't automatically mean it deserves its own stand alone article. In this case it doesn't.

    There's very little here that is salvageable. What is reliably sourced - is already there. Some of supposedly reliably sourced stuff - e.g. "Russia and some Afghan local officials have claimed that US has supplied arms to ISIS fighters in Afghanistan" sourced to this omits the rather significant "There's no evidence to support the allegations, but they are another prime example of Russia's active information warfare campaign against the US.".

None of those support "support".

  • Keep and Rename There are a lot of sources that make this article notable particularly about the US. The US regime has been accused many times of supporting ISIL directly or indirectly with arms and weapons. However, The US has dismissed these claims by saying that the US weapons were transferred to ISIL by "mistakes". Would be more NPOV to put "allegedly" in the title since they US never admitted of doing these mistakes intentionally. Also there are a lot of sources that claim the US has been moving ISIL members to safe places I don't know whether the US has commented on these allegations or not. Thanks--SharabSalam (talk) 08:47, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the topic itself is fine, but the contents are a load of contextless sentences, claims, and synthesis. And the main section makes no distinction between real support and inadvertent or accidental support. Also there is nothing given for the US's side of things, no content is given in the article about the US government trying to defend themselves, quotes, statements, nothing. A good first step for restructuring the article would be to have a section dedicated to "Claims", statements saying the US supports ISIS, including Donald Trump's and the Ayatollah's. And definitely rename the article "Alleged US support of ISIS". Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)[ᴛ] 13:17, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Redirect to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant#Allegations of state support. I've been thinking it over and the entire article boils down to Iranian and Russian claims that the US directly supported ISIS, and then other claims that US incompetence lead to ISIS's growth. This can be summarized in like two paragraphs and added to the "Allegations of state support" section of the main ISIS article. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)[ᴛ] 11:23, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment:To clarify the issues, I collected several sources addressed the subject:
  1. The U.S. watched Islamic State fighters, vehicles and heavy equipment gather on the outskirts of Ramadi...by bloomberg
  2. Flynn (National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump) said that conditions in US-controlled Iraqi prisons resulted in radicalization of thousands of young Iraqis, some of whom would later become some of the top ISIS commanders...by Aljazeera
  3. Rand Paul, junior U.S. Senator from Kentucky, said that the U.S. government of indirectly supporting ISIL in the Syrian Civil War... by The Hill
  4. The founder of ISIS has been introduced American political figures such as Obama or Hillary Clinton ... by CNN AND foxnews
  5. According to the Russian Defence Ministry, the US has deliberately slowed the pace of its assault on Isis... by independent
  6. US and Saudi Arabia arms significantly enhanced Isis’ military capabilities.... by another report of independent
  7. ISIS weapons arsenal included some purchased by U.S. government... by NBC
  8. Russia accuses U.S. of training former Islamic State fighters in Syria... by reuters
  9. ISIL weapons traced to US and Saudi Arabia...by another report of aljazeera
  10. allowed hundreds of ISIS fighters including their most notorious members to secretly evacuate city of Raqqa ... BY BBC Saff V. (talk) 05:59, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    1. This Bloomberg article says the US "left the fighting to Iraqi troops, who ultimately abandoned their positions...the U.S.-led coalition provided both airstrikes and surveillance to the Iraqi Security Forces in support of the Ramadi defense...The current rules of engagement are intentionally designed to restrict the effectiveness of air power to prevent potential collateral damage...That results in ISIS getting the freedom of action so they can commit genocide against civilians...the rules of engagement for U.S. airstrikes were not the only setback in the battle for Ramadi. The Iraqi military withdrew from its positions in the city..."
    2. Flynn nowhere in this interview says anything about the US supporting ISIS.
    3. "ISIS, an al Qaeda offshoot, has been collaborating with the Syrian rebels whom the Obama administration has been arming in their efforts to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Paul explained" is not suggesting that the US supports ISIS. Saying "a friend of a friend" isn't the same thing as saying "a friend".
    4. Trump said Obama founded ISIS by leaving Iraq. He didn't say the US supports ISIS. This campaign hyperbole is not taken as a serious accusation by anyone, especially since ISIS was founded in 2003, five years before Obama was elected.
    5. According to the Russians...
    6. This is about a report that found "...most weapons in Isis’ arsenal were captured from the Syrian and Iraqi armies...90 per cent of the weapons and ammunition overall were made in Russia, China and Eastern Europe..."
    7. This is about the same report, but note: "...the U.S. government has supplied weapons to Syrian armed groups, first to fight the Assad regime and then to assist the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the fight against the Islamic State. Some of ISIS’ weapons are also thought to have been pilfered from military stockpiles while others were purchased illicitly...In propaganda videos, ISIS frequently showcases the U.S.-made weapons in its arsenal, much of it presumed to have been seized from Iraqi military stockpiles...But in reality, American weapons make up only a minor portion of the small arms documented by CAR. Chinese and Russian arms account for more than 50 percent, with the ubiquitous AK-47 in heavy use. CAR found most of ISIS' weapons were made before 1990, the year Iraq came under an arms embargo."
    8. "The chief of the Russian General Staff has accused the United States of training former Islamic State fighters in Syria to try to destabilize the country."
    9. Same CAR report: "The research said most weapons were looted from the Iraqi and Syrian armies, however, some were originally supplied by other nations involved in the conflict to Syrian opposition groups fighting against President Bashar al-Assad...About 90 percent of weapons and ammunition used by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) originated in China, Russia, and Eastern Europe, with Russian-made weapons outnumbering those of any other country."
    10. The deal to let IS fighters escape from Raqqa – de facto capital of their self-declared caliphate – had been arranged by local officials. It came after four months of fighting that left the city obliterated and almost devoid of people. It would spare lives and bring fighting to an end. The lives of the Arab, Kurdish and other fighters opposing IS would be spared. But it also enabled many hundreds of IS fighters to escape from the city. At the time, neither the US and British-led coalition, nor the SDF, which it backs, wanted to admit their part.
    None of these suggest the US supports ISIS in any way. Leviv ich 06:26, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Some American/British RSes don't support "support" (e.g. the convoy allowed to flee Raqqa after a long battle and prior to the final American takeover). Other American sources - e.g. "Russia and some Afghan local officials have claimed that US has supplied arms to ISIS fighters in Afghanistan" sourced to this covers Russian claims - and omits the rather significant "There's no evidence to support the allegations, but they are another prime example of Russia's active information warfare campaign against the US.".

  • Comment In addition to be presented above, It is interesting to review these RS:
  1. the US and its allies weren’t only supporting and arming an opposition they knew to be dominated by extreme sectarian groups; they were prepared to countenance the creation of some sort of Islamic state ... by the guardian
  2. by a recently declassified secret US intelligence report, which uncannily predicts the prospect of a “Salafist principality” in eastern Syria and an al-Qaida- controlled Islamic state in Syria and Iraq ... by the guardian
  3. These included a powerful anti-tank missile launcher bought from a Bulgarian manufacturer by the U.S. Army and wielded by ISIS only weeks later ... by newsweek
  4. The state senator referred to plans by the CIA to transfer arms ... supplying all rebels, including specifically ISIS (Daesh) and al-Qaeda. We do it indirectly because it’s unlawful to do it directly ... by presstv
  5. Over the years, growing jihadi influence compelled the U.S. to cut CIA support for such groups... by newsweek Saff V. (talk) 08:42, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    As far as I know, commentisfree is the opinion section of the Guardian, and thus is not a RS for statements of fact, only the opinions of the authors. The Newsweek source does not at all indicate support by the U.S. The sentence immediately before what you quoted says "weapons believed to have been procured by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, shipped to Syrian rebels and later obtained by ISIS" and earlier in the article "Supplies of materiel into the Syrian conflict from foreign parties—notably the United States and Saudi Arabia—have indirectly allowed IS to obtain substantial quantities of anti-armor ammunition....the U.S. had been supplying arms to insurgents opposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad since at least 2012 and, when ISIS began rapidly seizing territory in 2013 and 2014, many U.S.-armed rebel groups were either defeated by the incoming militants or joined them." This is not even an allegation of support, it is explaining how weapons meant for anti-Assad rebels wound up in IS hands. There is no claim that the U.S. intentionally supplied IS with material support. To say so is a misrepresentation of the source. UnequivocalAmbivalence (talk) 09:13, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Really we don't gather here to review sources line by line,in this case I would to notice to the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) got its hands on vast supplies of weapons by taking advantage of U.S. from newsweek, or about weapons and army equipment look at bloomberg, nbcnews, aljazeera. My offer still stands, we can based on suggested sources re title article to allegation at least but not to delete.Saff V. (talk) 10:28, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    The Guardian commentisfree section sometimes runs letters from readers - however in this case it ran Corbyn's aide's op-ed - who has a rather particular set of opinions regarding Russia and Syria - see Seumas Milne#On Putin and Russia - definitely not a RS. US weapons (as well as the many more Russian weapons) showing up in ISIS's hands has little to do with support - ISIS pilfered most of these from rival groups, and bought some on the black market - as made clear in the sources cited above. Icewhiz (talk) 12:03, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    What is your idea about The state senator referred to plans by the CIA to transfer arms ... supplying all rebels, including specifically ISIS (Daesh) and al-Qaeda. We do it indirectly because it’s unlawful to do it directly? Saff V. (talk) 13:57, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Or the U.S. continued to train and equip Syrian rebels, using local allies like Jordan and Turkey as intermediaries. In its report, Conflict Armaments Group included dozens of photographs of EU-manufactured weapons believed to have been procured by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, shipped to Syrian rebels and later obtained by ISIS, which moved them between Iraq and Syria as well as Over the years, growing jihadi influence compelled the U.S. to cut CIA support for such groups'? Saff V. (talk) 14:10, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    The Newsweek reporting on Conflict Armament Research report does not support "support" (it merely supports the well known factoid that ISIS pilfered arms also from the FSA (which at times was very-very weak - with forces crossing the border dissipating shortly thereafter)). As for Press TV - well - it is Press TV for starters, and the interviewee is Virginia State Senator Dick Black (politician). State senators are not privy to federal matters and in particularly not to foreign affairs. Black is also noted for Dick Black (politician)#Russia Today appearances. I can't quite see how Black would merit inclusion on any Syria related article. Icewhiz (talk) 14:28, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per much of the above, especially Lev's point-by-point rebuttal to Saff, whose case as presented reminded me of a typical political entertainment television "investigation", usually (and in this case) by the right. Mis-characterization of sources, lack of perspective or proportion, outright lies, stretching to ascribe illogical motives when common sense dictates otherwise, even the provocative title "United States support for ISIS" (implying intent), etc. – it's all there.

  • Delete. Alleged formal (overt or covert) US support for, or private-sector American channels of aid to, or US-originating resources used by ISIL (which are not the same or even related claims and do not all constitute a fused thing that could logically be called "US support", a concept intended to mislead and to push both an anti-American viewpoint and what amounts to a conspiracy theory) can be discussed at Talk:Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant for inclusion in saner form, to the extent it can be properly sourced, stripped of blatant WP:SYNTH, and is actually within WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE boundaries. The "article" under discussion is basically a massive persuasive definition and equivocation fallacy, manufactured around manipulating radically different ways to interpret the string "United States support". PS: I'm not sure why people are proposing a "US intervention against ISIL" page in response to an AfD about the opposite idea. I have no in-theory objection to such an article existing, but it's off-topic for this discussion.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  23:48, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, or failing that, redirect or merge anything Reliable and legitimate. Severe problems with unreliable sources, WP:SYNTH, WP:OR, and misrepresentations. RT is utterly unreliable, and the Iranian source aren't much better. It's absurd to suggest that hardware stolen or diverted to ISIS by third parties constitutes support. It's absurd to suggest that Trump's wacky quote about "Obama founded Isis" belongs in here. It's absurd to suggest two instances of the US not attacking constitutes "support" - especially when at least one was a tactical decision to protect civilian lives. It's absurd to suggest that prisons being a metaphorical "training ground" constitutes support. And I was particularly unimpressed when Iranian PressTV cited a rant by someone who is basically an elected dogcatcher in Virginia, as if that accurately represents or reflects US foreign policy. This isn't even a WP:POVFORK, because a POVFORK would actually require proper sourcing to support the alternate POV. In this case the only POV being presented are things being falsely represented as "support" along with a dash of routine RT-fiction. There's a damn good reason we don't cite RT for anything but Russia's official position and (occasionally) for basic uncontroversial facts. Alsee (talk) 01:02, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose, Reactions section was larger than the article. The real solution is to stop making long Reactions sections, and to stop abusing flagicons by putting them in Reactions sections. Abductive (reasoning) 10:43, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
From what I know "reaction" articles have been created for only highly covered international events and I don't see this being the case right now (WP:TOOSOON). The article is about an ongoing event some discrepancies are going to be there such as the reaction being too long. I don't see the notability of a separate reaction article for now.

  • Delete - the sourcing is poor and unreliable. Fails WP:GNG, with a possible additional touch of WP:TOOSOON. The one piece that looks like it is actual journalism - the Gigabit Magazine piece, albeit quite fawning, doesn't even mention Spoka.[[11]] I Googled various combinations of Arkadin, Cisco and NTT with the name Spoka, and nothing comes up. While hunting, it appears that Spoka is a relatively new product owned by Arkadin, so I tried to see if Arkadin was notable, perhaps for a merge, and there's no coverage of them either. Cisco is listed as a partner on the Spoka site, but it appears they are just selling their equipment to them. I'm not sure how NTT fits in - they aren't mentioned anywhere, but the article's editor just went to the NTT Communications article (which is on my watchlist) and added info about this deal, perhaps hoping to influence notability with less OCD editors dropping in. The info added to NTT is just primary sources - the company's own press releases. On a related note, there are two other odd things here. A sock puppet investigation has been opened against the creator Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Solonese, and the editor who nominated this article for deletion voted keep. Hopefully the tangential items will eventually get all sorted out, but for now, this is a clear delete. I'm also going to undo the NTT adds since the sourcing is primary and thus unreliable, and I'm not sure that this info should be there. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 22:20, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Update - I just saw this for more info about NTT and Arkada, so this must be what they're calling Spoka now. [[12]] But it's also too fawning to be taken seriously, so this is still a delete. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 22:24, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep "Google" isn't the measure of notability, especially for college football coaches active in the 1950s and 1960s.

"who may have been the John King...", "It was probably a son of this John King..." This book is an annals of births, deaths, marriages, baptisms, and pedigrees of the local register, simply describing King's personal milestones, not something that establishes notability. The other linked source is also a trivial list of people. I don't know how big Glanvilles Wootton would have been back then, but being rector for a town of 200 people is not a notable position.

According to Wikipedia, Yahoo! Search is 2nd most used search engine. Without this person's contributions to their algorithm and tracking abilities, their search engine would not be where it is today. I also agree that a lot of the references seem not to be secondary sources, but as is the case on many occasions where you have a very tight, specialised field of scientific or academic nature, you will normally only find self-authored academic papers, or conference keynotes and presentations often done by the authors themselves. If the article is kept, then it will be significantly improved, especially the language as it does need to be tidied up a bit. Some of the Stanford articles seem independent upon 2nd look.

Metrication of British transport[edit]

This article was created as a content fork from Metrication in the United Kingdom, but never succeeded in demonstrating that it was a notable subject in its own right. The original content comprised mainly of original research (OR) and synthesis. After the OR/synthesis was removed, the only significant content left is that about the UK implementation of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), which is new technology and unrelated to metrication, and could be merged into the ERTMS article, if it isn't already there. -- DeFacto (talk). 14:53, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Comment I find it hard to accept this nomination has been done in good faith given the history of the OP with the author of this article Martinvl. Both editors have received sanction for disruption on metrication related articles. I also note there has been a steady degradation of the article and as originally written contained a great deal of relevant and useful information. I have struck my original comment following discussion with the nominator. Nonetheless, I would still argue keep as this is a relevant fork, since information related to transportation and metrication does warrant it's own article IMHO. WCMemail 16:58, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Wee Curry Monster: The article was bad from day 1. Detailed edit summaries explain the reasons for any removals I made, and there has been plenty of time since then to question them or add new content. -- DeFacto (talk). 17:16, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In response to your updated comment, the specific forked topic has not received significant coverage in reliable sources, so fails WP:GNG. Anything on transport can adequately be accommodated in the original article, Metrication in the United Kingdom. -- DeFacto (talk). 20:43, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I can see the rationale for an article of this nature but on reflection, per Otr500, starting over from scratch may well be a better option. As such, withdrawn my keep comment. WCMemail 14:31, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The problem at the time I nominated this article to AFD before was that the topic did not meet WP:GNG. While there were lots of sources they were practically all primary sources (whereas WP:GNG in its definitions requires secondary sources). WP:PSTS is clear that we cannot interpret primary sources, but this article broke that rule in practically every sourced sentence.
So far as I can see none of the issues have been fundamentally resolved since then. The article still relies principally on primary sources and includes very few secondary sources. Recent efforts to remove the OR have also got rid of most of the content, and we have no way of replacing it in a policy-compliant way - because the article still fails WP:GNG.
IMO, the article is best reabsorbed into Metrication in the United Kingdom. Kahastok talk 21:17, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Per nom. Article been around for a long while now and still not escaped OR (and in a poor state). The "Background" is a redo of the main Metrication WP article. The "Road" is tiny (and captured in Metrication). The "Rail" is about "Pan-European signalling systems", which really forms the bulk of text in this article and is not per-se exclusively about Metrification. Situation unlikely to change and no evidence that this is a standalone topic from the main Metrication in the United Kingdom. At minimum a WP:NUKEIT, but I think this topic is also poorly formed, hence delete. Britishfinance (talk) 01:47, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Illegal immigration to the United States and crime[edit]

This is a WP:POVFORK that was created when one editor, E.M.Gregory, wasn't allowed to insert individual crimes by undocumented immigrants into the Illegal immigration to the United States or create the category "Crimes committed by illegal immigrants"[16]. The sole reason why this FORK exists is to list individual crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. The editor has in the past recognized that the academic research disagrees with him[17], and the desire to highlight individual crimes by illegal immigrants seems intended to give the false impression that illegal immigrants are particularly crime-prone. Illegal immigration to the United States and Immigration and crime articles both cover the existing research on the relationship between illegal immigration and crime, and neither article struggles with size problems. There was nothing that justified created a third page specifically about the topic, besides WP:POVFORK. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 00:47, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is an obvious POV fork. We now have Immigration and crime in the United States, which is currently a redirect on another page -> here]. If anyone wants to create something about it, that might be Immigration and crime in the United States, not the illegal immigration.

  • KEEP (article creator) the new article takes precisely the same POV as our page on Illegal immigration to the United States, that social science research shows no relationship between illegal immigrants and criminality. It is not a POV fork. 2.) Our page on Illegal immigration to the United States is very long, making it necessary for many subtopics to be hatnoted to more detailed pages. 3.) Despite the fact that illegal status does not correlate with criminal activity, as a TOPIC Illegal immigration to the United States and crime is notable because of the political impact it has had, in the 2016 Presidential primary, in some legislative and local races, and during the Trump Presidency. The political conversation around this topic is significant, notable, and can certainly support a page. Simply, it is too large to be squeezed into Illegal immigration to the United States, and so, like other subheads on that page, I have begun an article. I will continue to expand this page later this week, but I do not OWN it, and welcome the participation of other editors. E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:16, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. That is about crime (or the lack of) by immigrants, not about immigrant illegally. Two related but distinct topics. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:41, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. No, it is not about Illegal immigration (a legitimate subject). It is about the non-existent relation between illegal immigration and crime. Illegal immigrants are still immigrants. Therefore, no, it is a part of the same subject. My very best wishes (talk) 17:49, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I agree with My very best wishes, and I would add using the word illegal in the title immediately creates an article that will struggle with NPOV. SportingFlyer T·C 18:36, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Topic has received tons of attention in both the scholarly literature and media (cursory googling finds: [18], [19], [20]; tons of academic research [21]). I don't see much value in listing every crime committed by some illegal alien (there will be 100s of such stories in media), but I see the value in listing very prominent cases (e.g. 3-10 cases), and discussing research findings. I see some concerning POV indicating comments about from other editors who take a stance on the relationship as being relevant for whether the page should exist or not. Seems to loosely conflict with WP:NOTTRUTH. Deleet (talk) 21:09, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Illegal immigration and crime is distinct from legal immigration and crime. The article for immigration and crime co-mingles data on legal immigration with illegal immigration. best to have an article solely dealing with illegal immigration.Patapsco913 (talk) 21:12, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I think we already have a legitimate page on this subject, and that is Immigration policy of Donald Trump. No need to promote myths ([22][23]) by creating POV forks. My very best wishes (talk) 22:42, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Crime by legal immigrants is one thing; crime by illegal immigrants is an altogether different thing. An encyclopaedia ought not to mingle both subjects, which are quite separate. Consider for example, that we have an article on Narcotics and an entirely separate article on "Prohibition of drugs." No-one argues that the latter one ought to be deleted because the narcotics article already says that heroin, for example, is "totally prohibited." Likewise, the article "migration and crime" is simply too generic to adequately cover the WP:SIGCOV already present on "Illegal immigration to the United States and crime", which plenty meets and exceeds WP:GNG. Consider, for example, that I have just added a citation of a National Public Radio source whose title is "Trump, Illegal Immigration And Crime" - observe NPR thinks "illegal immigration and crime" is a stand-alone topic from, say, Immigration and crime. Let's go by the sources.
    I'd also like to mention that the nomination is defective and tendentious. Its says this article was created "for the sole reason" to "list individual crimes committed by undocumented immigrants" (!!!). Are we still assuming good faith around here? I'll hasten to add that in no way the current article is "a list". On the contrary, it presents the research, body of law, politics of the issue, and, as is common in these cases, links a limited number of blue-linked examples of the issue being discussed. On these grounds alone, the nomination ought to be withdrawn. XavierItzm (talk) 01:02, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. To "list individual crimes committed by undocumented immigrants"... But that is exactly what this user does [25]. This is wrong (scientifically and for other reasons), just as it would be wrong including lists of crimes committed by people depending on their race into page Race and crime... My very best wishes (talk) 03:02, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
An inability to differentiate between "for the sole reason" (as in the nomination and as in this objection) and a subsection in an otherwise large article should be noted by third-party observers. XavierItzm (talk) 08:14, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Clearly covered as a topic by multiple sources (as well as being a rather hot political football). This is not a POVFORK of Illegal immigration to the United States (which does not contain this depth on the crime issue) and neither of Immigration and crime (which is world wide and not specific to the US or to illegal immigrants). It seems a US president recently even declared a national emergency due to "The southern border is a major entry point for criminals, gang members, and illicit narcotics."[26] - so hard to argue this isn't a topic widely discussed as a stand alone topic. In as much as there are balance issues in the article - that's a content issue for the artice itself. Icewhiz (talk) 10:25, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The topic passes WP:GNG by a mile (won't bother listing the references here). Topic is currently "buried" in large generic WP articles, but it is not a POVFORK to create a standalone WP article. U.S. law is different from the law in other countries, and thus the definition of "crime" and of an "illegal immigrant" changes. There are also thousands of WP articles with sub-articles by geography.
At a WP:COMMONSENSE level, this is what WP does for society, take notable topics and present the quality consensus fact-base. A well written/community edited article on this topic will help combat the considerable amount of fake-news on this specific topic. Yes, it will be a battle-ground article and the page will need protection (and a trip to ArbCom) like many others; that is what WP does.
While the article looks decently written, I do have an issue with the table at the end. I have no problem listing "crimes that became notable (e.g. have a WP article) BECAUSE of the issue of illegal immigration". However, the current table lists "notable crimes that happened to be done by illegal immigrants", which is not appropriate (and is POV).
I also belileve that the article should discuss crimes "done to" illegal immigrants, as well as "done by", which is in keeping with title.

  • If a standalone article on a subject that's extensively covered in Illegal immigration to the United States is needed, isn't the obvious solution then to simply copy-paste the section in that article[[29]] over to the article that's currently considered for deletion and build the rest of the article from there? As it stands, the article under consideration for deletion is a really poor version of the relevant section from Illegal immigration to the United States and seems intended to chiefly be about the grotesque crimes committed by individual illegal immigrants (the article creator has already edit-warred to keep that bizarre list in the new article - and has edit-warred on multiple other immigration-related articles to introduce similar content). Snooganssnoogans (talk) 12:49, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment No problem with the "copy and paste". My concern is that this topic is definitely independently notable to have its own article. Agree that the current table is a problem and needs to be deleted or edited to be crimes that became notable BECAUSE of an illegal immigrant (either victim or perp.). If this article/topic gets through AfD, then it is going to need some ArbCom (or other), attention to clarify the ground rules, and consequences for those who ignore them.

  • Comment (as a dispassionate observer from across the pond). You guys should take a break from this for a few days. This article has not been written as a POV hit-piece, and both of your contributions are honestly motivated - and aside from the difference in opinion re having a standalone article - you both advocating good quality content.
If this gets through AfD, then the real crazies will arrive, which will need both your efforts to manage. We need to see an article bristling with highest quality research references/Tier 1 reporting. I would amend the title of the table (and content if necessary), as we can only really have one on crimes that became notable because the victim/perp was reported as illegal; anything else has to go. I would also split the research section (and maybe others) into "Crimes by Illegals" and "Crimes on Illegals", which would add to the WP:BALANCE on terms of respecting the title topic (which is what AfD is voting on). thanks, and look forward to reading in 6 months time when it has stabilised.

I'm also invoking the essay which should be a policy everywhere on Wikipedia and off - WP:NOFUCKINGNAZIS. As we are a consensus-based organization, it's only by people saying, "we should adhere to this principle," that a principle is established.

  • Keep This is a subject with substantial WP:SECONDARY coverage from reliable, independent sources, and is almost certainly of inherent interest. No question this will be a contentious article, but there are certainly enough examples to choose from to show that's not disqualifying. Whether or not the article currently suffers from WP:POV issue is a separate question; that's a problem best addressed through discussion and participation by the WP community, not deletion.

This article was created in pretty much the same vein to the now-deleted article Jews and Communism: by listing individual incidents/Jewish people to misleadingly paint a causation to criminality by illegal immigration/Communism. The article creator's trollish comments and the events leading to the creation of this article, as pointed by proposer, as well as EMG's previous efforts to insert false or deliberately misleading POV editorializations, makes their motive and edits highly problematic. Even if the POV fork issue could be rectified, the existence of this article and its misleading title will continue to make it a hotbed for POV pushing and other undesirable time-wasting disruptive editing.

  • Comment Obviously, we should not allow any article that makes some sort of racial insinuation or alleges an unproven connection without sources. However, from what I'm reading on this page, the majority of content affirms that there is not a positive correlation between undocumented immigration and crime. This seems essentially to be a spin-off article from what was previously a very long section under Illegal Immigration to the United States. I think the real question is whether there is actually enough independent content on this topic to justify a separate article. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 08:18, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Probably Delete - But, Trump has basically made the topic of Illegal Immigration and Crime notable, regardless of whether the linkage between the two is real or not. I think we could probably have an article, as long as we made it clear that the subject was the political propaganda of the 2016 campaign, and not an actual linkage between illegals and crime. Sorta like Uncle Sam. We all know he's not real, but he is notable. NickCT (talk) 16:00, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is an absurd solution. A politician's position on a topic is separate from the topic itself, whether or not they supposedly "made" the topic notable. Whatever the final result is, this should not be it. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 09:25, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Wikieditor19920: - It's not such much that it was made notable, more than it was made up. For instance, if a politician told us winged flying sharks were a serious menace, and b/c of his warning there was a notable coversation about flying sharks, it would be hard to seperate the topic of "flying sharks" from the topic of the politician.

It has been frequently discussed and is in the news -- and it has been discussed well before Trump becme president (Shooting of Kate Steinle, etc.). I reject the forking claim because this article is different in scope/depth from the "Illegal immigration to the United States" and "Immigration and crime" articles. --1990'sguy (talk) 19:40, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEP - seems GNG, prominent as separate topic in secondary press, political speech, and individual headline events do influence political directions and choices. It seems too much to insert into the overall Immigration articles, and that would seem too much prominence anyway. But work at keeping scope clear and being factual and NPOV showing all significant views in proportion to their prominence. Cheers Markbassett (talk) 03:21, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Is this article supposed to document a list of crimes by illegal immigrants? - because that's what it seems like the intention. If that's the intention I really cannot support this because it would be very clearly against WP:NPOV. We have similar articles on correlates of crime such as Race and crime in the United States, but none adds any type of list. Instead they summarise information.--DreamLinker (talk) 07:22, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article is about a legal classification: illegal alien. It is NOT about race. Illegal immigrants of every shade of the rainbow have committed notable crimes in the U.S.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:28, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • And if you believe that American positions on immigration and who they consider to be a legal person vs who they consider an illegal non-human isn't tied to race, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. Simonm223 (talk) 15:54, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Both articles are about a statistical correlate of crime (in particular where the correlate is a characteristic of the perpetrator). So if we don't include lists in race and crime, there is no argument to be made for inclusion in illegal immigration and crime.--DreamLinker (talk) 17:51, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The idea of creating an article rather than a category was indeed suggested to me on that page.15:28, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
  • KEEP OP is no longer an accurate description of the article. It now lists statistics, not anecdotes. Since literally thousands of articles have been written about this topic in RS, and it's too complicated to adequately address as one small section of the illegal immigration article, it deserves its own article.

  • Delete we can't build articles just on the subject's own website.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:38, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree this article has a current issue of not using good sources but checking with google news it seems there are plenty of RS about the subject that could be used. In general if issues with an article can be improved, it shouldn't be deleted. Sources are primarily in Dutch though which may be why they aren't being used currently. Rab V (talk) 22:09, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Like I said, I looked at the Dutch sources and they were of no value to a Wikipedia article. Trillfendi (talk) 23:09, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Could you explain what you mean by no value to Wikipedia? I looked up some English info about a few of the publishers and they seemed fine to be used for RS. Rab V (talk) 23:28, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relationship gossip. Sexual escapades. A club appearance. It’s no coincidence that other language translation articles also have 0 sources, including the Dutch one. People may try to make notability out of “she was the trans woman on Big Brother 18 years ago” but there’s not even any significant coverage that goes into that. Appearance doesn’t equal notability. Trillfendi (talk) 23:55, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That seems like the kind of content that comes from sources, including RS, that cover celebrities. Rab V (talk) 21:42, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Once again, these “sources” are not reliable they are tabloids and still offer absolutely no verification of any statement in this article (hence why it remians unsourced). Trillfendi (talk) 22:59, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Big Brother (Dutch TV series)? Besides that she doesn't appear to have done much of note. The best English-language source I could find online was this, and while I can't say for the Dutch-language sources, if it's just "celebrity gossip" then I hardly think that makes for a credible claim of notability. For what it's worth I do have a print source from an English magazine, but I still don't think that's enough. PC78 (talk) 11:05, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Feel free to count my !vote as delete. I don't feel that the article or its edit history are worth preserving given the complete lack of reliable sources, though I do think that once deleted the page should be recreated as a valid redirect to Big Brother (Dutch season 3). PC78 (talk) 01:26, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Complete lack of independent sources. Add sourced content about her at Big_Brother_(Dutch_TV_series) yes, but nothing here is reliably sourced. Also, the actual content here speaks to her non-notability. " the most prominent transsexual person in the Netherlands who rose to fame after competing" in some TV show. Rose to fame? What fame?? "Competed" in a TV show? Didn't even win. Possibly she has a fan base. Sources? " revived her music career "? "appearing in over six television shows"? "established a website "?

The result was delete. This had previously been closed as no consensus.

  • Delete. I do not see these sources as supporting the school's notability as in my opinion none of them display all the criteria needed. They are either not significant or not independent. The most promising source is probably the Goethe Institute, but the is not enough information to determine if that entry an independent assessment, or simply repeating information from the school's website.

  • Strong Delete. Over a decade and still only one reference. The reason being that there is almost nothing about the subject on google, no article on the subject in any newspaper, independent book, even 2nd tier website.

  • Delete per Britishfinance. Odd, I'd have thought a One O'Clock News presenter would be all over the place. Anyway, the only reliable source I can find is the one listed and that just proves she was on one TV show once, missing the mark on verification per WP:BLP and notability per WP:BIO.

Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BAND.

There were two sources on the page, but the second source was a "wiki" (last.fm wiki bio) (Yao Si Ting Biography) and the second source was almost a direct copy from the wiki ([36] - is a dead link, archive). I am sure that the wiki was copied (and not the other way round), as the wiki page was last edited in 2012 and the source was first archived in 2015. Also this source does not seem very reliable either.

Looking through Google only gives pages which have limited information, which only contain the names of the four albums she has produced, usually in a online shop format. This means that these sources are pretty much useless, as they support pretty much nothing. These sources also don't define notability. Also these sources nearly all the time are not independent (as they offer ways to buy, through them, her albums). She does not meet WP:BAND on any of the criteria, which underlines the problem with the lack of notability and sources. I have tried to look for other wiki pages for her from other language wikipedias (for sources I could not find), but could not find any.

  • Delete Agree with nominator who did a thorough WP:BEFORE, fails each and every WP:BAND criteria. It's a shame because her albums are apparently well-received, both in China and abroad. (Interestingly, "Yao Si Ting" gets a lot more Google hits than her Chinese name, which is quite unusual for a Chinese singer.) Timmyshin (talk) 23:13, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/Draftify This is a BLP with no references which is a "draftify" at a minimum. I can't find a significant major RS on the subject and confirm the proposer's WP:BEFORE work. However, I could not work out the Chinese references and perhaps there is some there. However, at a minimum, it is a "draftify". Britishfinance (talk) 20:42, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There don't appear to be many sources on her, even in Chinese e.g. [37]. It seems that one of her album was nominated for an award [38]. Not quite sure if that qualifies her under WP:MUSICBIO #8 (a bit confused if the award is the Golden Melody Awards or another similar sounding one). Leaning delete because of the paucity of sources.
