Non-notable lawyer. References are largely unreliable and social media. No secondary sourcing. Fails WP:SIGCOV. scope_creepTalk 16:36, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:ENTERTAINER doesn't apply here. They are decent refs, except apart for Die Ziet, which I think is supposed to be unreliable, which I don't understand. They are reporting on his social media work, which everybody does. It is much of muchness. scope_creepTalk 12:19, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a concept that doesn't quite exist. All the rail services listed are real, but there's no evidence that they are part of a formal network with an official name. This was discussed in some depth at Talk:Rete celere del Canton Ticino#Naming - Renaming. It looks like an S-Bahn network but reliable sources don't treat it that way. The article should be split, with the content moving to Treni Regionali Ticino Lombardia, Lugano–Ponte Tresa Railway, or individual articles about the services themselves (such as RE80 and S90 (TILO), newly-created. This could be done editorially but this is a disruptive change to a long-standing article and would benefit from broader participation and a formal discussion.

Article about a band, not properly referenced as passing WP:NMUSIC. The notability claim on offer here is that they exist, and the referencing is entirely to primary and unreliable sources that are not support for notability, such as YouTube videos and their own self-published web presence and a directory listing for the death of a person whose relevance to this band is completely unexplained. As always, bands are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist: they must have notability claims that pass one or more criteria in NMUSIC, and they must have third-party coverage in real media about them to verify that said notability claims are actually accurate, but this article demonstrates neither of those things. Bearcat (talk) 19:01, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Quote from Bearcat: "bands are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist". Spotify and youtube are not reliable sources. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 17:05, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
For the purposes of inclusion in Wikipedia, notability is not "they're on Spotify" or "they got X number of streams on Spotify or YouTube" — it's "they have third party journalistic coverage about them in media outlets independent of their own self-created web presence, independently verifying that their notability claims are actually true". Put another way, notability isn't "they did a thing", it's "journalists cared enough about the significance of the thing they did to write news stories about it".

Just look at their contributions [1]. Definitely a Delete to me. Spf121188 (talk) 18:42, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I really think we need to create a rule that someone have say 25 contributions that are editing existing articles before they can create a first article. We have way too many drive-by contributors who start out either creating an article with which they had a COI, or who rush into creating an article without fully understanding the notability guidelines. At the same time we have an even larger problem of too many existing articles lacking even semi-adequate sources. The number of articles that have had a tag since 2009 or earlier, so for over 12 years, saying they have no sources is staggering.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:10, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Businessman BLP does not seem to meet WP:NBIO. Notability is inherited from his company Relevent Sports Group and coverage of the individual is largely churnalism articles. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:16, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Sillman is one of the most important soccer executives in the United States as referenced by the sources. He has created international soccer tournaments which has been referenced in NY Times and Sports Illustrated articles. He has produced two major soccer films (individually named as an executive producer) which have been written about in the Guardian and ESPN. In addition, and separated from Relevent, he is a business advisor of Draymond Green as cited by NY Times. And Daniel has received industry awards also cited. Multiple other editors have made edits to the page without issue. The editor in this case is targeting multiple pages that I have edited and has accused me of gaming the system. Following standards, Daniel more than meets requirements and it is unfortunate that one editor seems to be targeting me despite more than proper attribution, etc.Bankrupt305 (talk) 12:58, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, sources (some added since nomination TBF) appear to show he meets WP:GNG individually. Current refs #2 (New York Business Journal), #5 (SportBusiness Daily) and #15 (Inc.com) all focus on him. Fully agree these aren't national newspapers but he is a businessman and they are business publications (not familiar with them but they look OK to me, seem to be actual entities rather than advertising puff fake sites, but could be wrong). Difficult to quantify his achievements but he is clearly genuinely a CEO of a relatively successful company in a high-profile sector. If that's not deemed enough for a standalone article at present, then it should be Merged into Relevant Sports, as per GNG "If a topic does not meet these criteria but still has some verifiable facts, it might be useful to discuss it within another article".

"Psychic Mutt Discovered!" Note the previous link doesn't work at the time I created this source table, so here's the CFIIG's copy of the story: [3] No Please read WP:ORGIND, this is an example of "dependent coverage" where practically all of the info comes from the subjects themselves. It is also not a secondary source, as it written from the journalist's perspective and describes their experience and what they've directly seen and heard.

  • Thank you Chess for putting in the work to produce that table. A news google search only lists 9 results, from either what appears to be unreliable sources or failing WP:ORGDEPTH. Google search results show wiki pages overwhelmingly for the first 2 or so pages, and then no reliable sources for the next few (I can't be bothered to look for more pages, a 6 page google search is all I did).

    Honestly I was getting tired by that point. Sorry I missed the question "I understand you were part of the IIG test, testing a Flat-Earth in cooperation with Flat-Earthers?" in a magazine published by the CFI. Anyways, you don't really have to "verify the accuracy of all this data". You just have to give us two or more sources that satisfy WP:SIRS.

  • Comment There is another error in the source analysis. OneZero is not a blog. It is a journalistic publication owned by Medium. From their website:

    OneZero is a publication from Medium about the impact of technology on people and the future. Our editorial team is also behind Debugger, a publication about gadgets, and Future Human, a science publication about the survival of our species. As a journalistic publication owned by Medium, OneZero maintains editorial independence over the stories it publishes on the Medium platform. Medium’s business interests and investors have no bearing on our work. We avoid conflicts of interest and, where unavoidable, disclose them. OneZero employees do not have any financial stake in the companies they cover and may not act on nonpublic information for personal gain or the gain of friends and family. Though we make every effort to be accurate in our reporting, when we are wrong, we acknowledge and correct our mistakes. We do not accept gifts, and we pay for or return products that we review. All articles published on OneZero, including those by staff, expert contributors, and freelance reporters, are subject to editing and fact-checking for accuracy by OneZero’s editorial staff.

    You could try to make a case that it's not reliable at RSN, but you'd probably lose that battle. I think it's easy to see "medium" in the URL and immediately dismiss something as a blog post. That's not the case here. Medium employs paid journalists and editors for a smattering of professional publications that it hosts on its website. That's one of them. AlexEng(TALK) 07:47, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The first relevant thread at the linked RSP entry deals with this issue more or less: Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 192#Article by established journalist in Medium publication_with_editorial_staff Not much consensus ensued though. I read the mission statement and didn't really see the proof of reliability above a blog. I can't submit a correction, for instance, and I'm unsure how their editorial process works. Seems like they just threw a bunch of medium employees at random as "editors" that can arbitrarily approve/change/deny stories. [11] None of them actually list on their profile that they're an editor for OneZero, most list that they work for Medium and one lists "former lead editor, Forge at Medium" which is confusing since from her profile she hasn't updated in months but still has editorial access? Why haven't they removed her by now if she doesn't work for Medium? It's also kind of unclear how this "editorial independence" exists when most of the editors list their affiliation as being with the parent company; which implies they're not very independent. From my experience serious journalists are very particular about listing their specific affiliation. For instance, journalists will always say they work at "Bloomberg News" and not "Bloomberg". Or the The Athletic versus the NYTimes company. Those who work in the former are very particular that they don't work for the latter, even though the latter is the parent entity. Though this is just anecdotal and isn't much to base an actual assessment on but it's part of why I judged it initially as a blog that Medium threw some money and employees at, rather than a serious journalistic endeavour. Perhaps I'm wrong in my assessment, but that was my somewhat informed belief when I made the SIRS table (probably should've gone into more detail) and it wasn't an inadvertent error on my part. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 09:08, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Not much consensus is a weird takeaway from that thread. Jytdog never responded to clarifications regarding the nature of re:form, and he is the only person in that thread complaining. Jytdog is an editor whom I have (had?) great respect for, but he could be a bit dismissive and stubborn when it came to challenges to his decisions. It's not clear to me from that thread that we should be dismissive here of a journalistic publication based solely on the other avenues of business for the parent company of that publication. I also think that your above suspicion that Medium just threw a bunch of medium employees at random as "editors" is extremely weird. I'm going to assume in good faith that that was just a gut reaction and not actually what you believe. Medium is not unreliable because the company is somehow biased or shady. Medium is unreliable because anyone can create self-published content on their platform. That is not the case for their owned publications, like OneZero, which are legitimate journalistic organizations. Journalists are more reliable because they are paid by their company, not less. As Rhoark said in the thread you linked:

    Medium is a platform on which one can self-publish. That doesn't mean everything that can be found there is WP:SPS. In particular, it has a built-in feature for users to set themselves up "publications" which are groupings of users and articles in which there can be editorial control. This does in principle constitute third-party publishing, if there is reason to believe that quality editorial control is actually exercised. This likelihood is improved if: a) The editors and writers have prior journalism experience, or other relevant expertise; b) The writers are paid; c) The editors are medium.com staff or endorsed by them

    These all seem to be true for OneZero as well, and I agree with that assessment. AlexEng(TALK) 09:44, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I didn't really see it to be a legit journalistic organization at the time based on the fact almost all the editors list their affiliation as "Medium" and not the actual journalistic organization (i.e. saying they work for "OneZero"). Same with the lack of way to submit corrections. Haven't seen other news organizations do that in the past as they have a very clear separation between news and the rest of the business as well as an email address to send angry letters to. Plus people will acknowledge that they work for the publication and not the parent entity. Didn't really feel like there was a bunch of effort put into "OneZero" and while the mission statement is nice I didn't really see it being a real journalistic organization; more like a blog run by the Medium company. While it's a very nice blog and Medium maybe isn't a biased/shady company I still think it's a blog; because why else wouldn't any of the editors proclaim that they work at "OneZero" in their Medium bios? It would make sense for them to do that if their full time gig was being an editor rather than just having to manage a blog as an extra job duty. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 09:56, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not entirely sure if you're implying that Medium threw the janitor and the IT guy at a publication and called them "editors". Medium is a website that owns several publications. Medium is also a self-publishing platform. "Publications" is also a feature of Medium which allows editorial control for content. OneZero is a publication in which the editorial board consists of Medium employees employed as the Medium Editorial Group whose job it is to curate content and exercise editorial judgment. I don't think there's a restriction that a particular employee can only be the editor for one publication at a time, though you'll note that one of the editors is the "former lead editor" for Forge, which is another Medium-owned publication. If you want to submit a correction, you contact the editors or the author. That's the nature of how their platform works. If you were hoping for like "onezero@medium.com" or something, I'm not sure if that exists or not. I also think you're playing fast and loose with the term "blog" at this point. At what point are you just describing a journalistic publication without saying the words "journalistic publication"? I'm not particularly suspicious of the editors or of Medium (website)'s motives in editorial decisions for their publications. Do you have some reason to be?

  • (edit conflict) Comment I have one more comment to add about your analysis of the Chicago Tribune (CT) piece. By the way, the link is broken and the article is not on archive.org, but you can read it here. It does not violate the part of WP:ORGDEPTH that you [mis]quoted, but it still might be trivial coverage. The full statement in the orgdepth example is intended to read: brief or passing mentions, such as in quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources.[emphasis mine] That's not saying that a source that quotes a member of the organization, even extensively, cannot qualify as a source for the purposes of determining sigcov. It's saying that if the only mention of the organization is as the source of a quotation for the article, then that's not significant coverage. To clarify what I mean, let me give an example. Let's say, hypothetically, that Randy Savage is alive and has quit wrestling, only to start working at Arthur and Son Family Widget Company. Arthur & Son is not notable just because Savage works there, per WP:INHERITORG, and is not otherwise notable by any criteria. Now let's say Arthur & Son fires Savage for allegedly eating their widgets straight off the assembly line. A news publication later runs a story about Savage and his crippling widget-eating addiction that has now landed him in rehab. A quote in the middle of the article, attributed to the president of Arthur & Son, reads, "we just had to let him go. We were losing so many widgets." That is the passing mention that the guideline is talking about in its example. You can't create Arthur and Son Family Widget Company based on a couple of articles using that quotation as sources for notability. The CT column, on the other hand, is not attributing a quote to Underdown in his capacity as a member of CFIIG. The column is clearly about Underdown's investigative work as part of that outfit. However, it may still qualify as trivial coverage. The column is really short, and CFIIG is not mentioned by name; it's only referred to as a "team of investigators". The whole article is not "just an interview" with Underdown, although the author clearly interviewed Underdown as part of their research for the piece. If it were just an interview, it might call into question whether it is a WP:PRIMARY source, which is not something that you noted in your table above. WP:INTERVIEW is an essay, but it gives some pretty good advice on how to evaluate a source that includes interview material as primary or secondary. To be secondary, a source should contain transformative thoughts, rather than just parroting what the interviewee said, with the irrelevant (in this case) exception of when the interviewee is speaking as a subject matter expert on their field of study. Anyway, this turned out longer than I expected, but the bottom line is that I'm not particularly convinced in either direction with respect to whether or not this source is appropriate for use in qualifying the subject for WP:GNG and by syllogism WP:NORG. AlexEng(TALK) 09:11, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Weird, the link works fine for me. Though it was pretty much just an interview with Underdown with little additional information (he didn't seem to contact anyone else) and is just based on quoting the guy as a story source. And to be honest I thought this was a transcribed TV news segment of some kind when I first read it since it had double hyphens instead of dashes (in the link on their website), the writing style, and the fact it's a TV journalist who is attributed as the author. Thought "oh this is one of those segments where the guy does the lead-in, interviews guy for a while, explain what guy said/will say, cuts back to new interview, elaborate, back again, so on so forth until hit the reader with kicker, it's done". It reads a heck of a lot differently with less emphasis on the interview in my head when I'm not imagining it as a TV news segment where the interview is the central part.

The Tribune piece is about debunking, not the organization. The author uses someone from the organization to talk about that. There really isn't anything in-depth about the organization itself that wasn't provided by the organization itself (or the person being interviewed). This wouldn't pass WP:ORGCRIT in my opinion. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:11, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a mid-market local television journalist, not properly referenced as passing our inclusion standards for journalists. As always, a local TV news reporter is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because her existence is technically verified by a staff profile on the self-published website of her own employer -- the notability test is the reception of third-party coverage indicating that the significance of her work has been externally validated by sources that don't sign her paycheque, such as evidence that she has won a Gemini or Canadian Screen Award for best television journalist, and/or outside analysis of the importance of her work in the Review of Journalism.
But as usual for bad articles about television journalists, this is essentially written like somebody tried to paraphrase her staff profile, is referenced solely to said staff profile, and says absolutely nothing about her that would actually constitute a notability claim.
Wikipedia is WP:NOTLINKEDIN, and the baseline for inclusion here requires much more than just "Kaella Carr exists as a person who has a job". Bearcat (talk) 19:56, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Coverage about this player is of the routine variety. Does not meet WP:GNG, and apparently, and he may or may not meet WP:GRIDIRON, as the Football Reference says he took a snap, but both it and nfl.com say he played zero seconds. Onel5969 TT me 18:45, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

        • Maybe there's some confusion here with the "GS" ("games started") stat? (Or one of his admittedly many other "0" stats.) Why would NGRIDIRON in itself be grounds for a "speedy" keep? Or at least, the part of GRIDIRON other than the part of that guideline which says "In addition, the subjects of standalone articles should meet the General Notability Guideline." This does appear to be the case, though you'd be forgiven for missing it from the article at time of AfD nomination, which essentially made no actual claim of notability whatsoever. "He was elevated to the active roster for Week 16 and played one snap on offense and 17 snaps on special teams in his NFL debut." --CBSsports, which is maybe a somewhat better source than most of those offered above (if CBS itself confers any source-reliability on its sports website). Seems fairly marginal thus far on GNG; USA Today at least is a "perennial" reliable source, so maybe that gets it over the line.

His pro football reference says he played 1 offensive snap and 17 on special teams against the Chargers for a grand total of 18 plays, which is roughly about 13% of the total plays from that game.

Snooker player with no references on page; Does not appear to be notable per WP:CUENOT and a WP:BEFORE check yields no SIGCOV. AviationFreak💬 18:39, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - player was a professional for four seasons, which is enough with general consensus for snooker players. WP:CUENOT#Players does specifically call this out, specifically "People who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport". As this is pre-2005 we are talking about, it's very unlikely you'll find anything online. He also won the first event of the 2004 Q Tour, which is a major amateur honour. I'll do some digging for some sources, but it's likely paper sourcing for this one. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:38, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- the "fully professional" qualification is possibly questionable, as from 1991 and for a few seasons afterwards, anyone could become a professional snooker player simply by paying a membership fee, and hundreds did. However, Tatton did win a Challenge Tour event, and whilst a lot of the hits on NewsBank are routine coverage, there are some rather more in-depth articles, e.g these two available online: here and here. I think he scrapes through the WP:GNG criteria. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 09:37, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Aye, but 2005/06 wasn't the same, right? That first one suggests he made the top 64 - must have been the preliminary rankings! Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:39, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Delete I thought the book might actually help establish notability, but he is only co-author. This isn't in enough depth for a review and this is of questionable independence or editorial oversight. While the article appears well referenced, I do not think he is a notable businessman when taking into account the quality of the sourcing. I do not think we have a bad faith creation issue, however, as the prior creators do not appear connected and this may just be an alternate view of what his "title" is.

    My gut instinct is that this article subject has had an experienced UPE trying to get around G4 in the past (and who knows presently, I don't want to make accusations without evidence). Upon further investigation just now, this seems to be confirmed, as the article Neil Patel (online marketing strategist) was created by LTKT, who is a CheckUser confirmed sockpuppet of Wikibaji, who has a massive SPI archive that has the term UPE mentioned six times. In conclusion, because we have confirmed UPE for this article subject, I think salting makes sense. –Novem Linguae (talk) 16:09, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a confused and confusing article. Men wear pantyhose, but I'm not sure that's encyclopedically notable. Part of what is included - NFL players, scuba divers - is compression sleeves or support hose, and not pantyhose as the term is typically understood. Sourcing is primary and even the ones that are secondary do not discuss it as being a thing for men aside from this piece and possibly this (if someone can find a working archive).

As a result, I'm not sure this can be solved editorially, nor is there a viable merger as an ATD. There could be some discussion of this in drag, or other cross dressing, or medical clothing. But I'm not sure that's possible so we're here. Star Mississippi 16:48, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Secondly, a search for "Typecasting" + blogging -wikipedia, despite Google's confident prediction of about 686,000 results, actually has under 200 hits in all, and many of those are about alternative uses of "typecasting: defining people by race or class, actors only getting roles of a fixed type, blogging about typefaces, defining data types in programming languages, etc. There are thus extremely few hits about the blogging use of "typecasting". A book (self-published?) offers a bare definition - not a substantial mention. The two sources used in the article are reliable, but "An ode to clicky keys" only offers the briefest of mentions of typecasting, not a substantial discussion; it's unclear whether Strikethru is a reliable source. It looks as if Polt 2015 is a substantial mention, perhaps the only one. I'm afraid there is really not nearly enough here to demonstrate notability, let alone to justify an article or even to cite the material in the article decently. What we have is part WP:OR, part WP:NEO (or DICDEF if you prefer), and a weak dash of sourcing. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:40, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Does not appear to be notable, but I'm being a bit cautious on this one and doing an AfD rather than A7 (although if a passing admin thinks this is A7, go ahead with a speedy delete). Most of the references are just business listings and directories. There is one Forbes interview which is why I went to AfD. But there are not multiple reliable sources supporting notability. Singularity42 (talk) 14:34, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Svani 170891 and welcome to the AfD! No one is saying the business does not exist or is carrying on business (possibly important business). The question is whether the business meets Wikipedia's requirements for notability, as set out here: Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), and more specifically, WP:ORGCRIT. A reliable, secondary source is defined here: Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Bank listings, Facebook accounts, government listings, etc. are all evidence that it exists, but they are not secondary sources that support notability.

The result was keep. The argument for deletion was based on WP:BLP1E, but the subject does not seem to meet the third criterion, since the event was significant and his participation was substantial and well-documented. Whether specific WP:BLPCRIME content should be included in the article is not an AfD issue unless that is the primary content of the article, which is not the case here.

While the transplant itself was a newsworthy medical event, I think Bennett himself isn't notable for being the recipient of it and fails WP:BLP1E, not being the main subject of the news articles. There was an additional human interest story about ethics because he had committed a crime, but this fails WP:CRIME. Reywas92Talk 14:27, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP1E says that articles generally shouldn't be created when one of three conditions are met. As far as my judgement, Bennett's article does not meet #1 because reliable sources cover him in the additional context of the stabbing; it aldo doesn't meet #3 because the event (operation) was historic and significant and Bennett's role in the event is well documented. RFZYNSPY talk 18:29, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NPF states “Many Wikipedia articles contain material on people who are not well known, even if they are notable enough for their own article. In such cases, exercise restraint and include only material relevant to the person's notability, focusing on high-quality secondary sources.” That’s why I’m stating the crime info is irrelevant. rsjaffe 🗩 🖉 05:48, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The public discourse surrounding Bennett's surgery includes the revelation that he is a convicted assault perpetrator. It is relevant. Most articles published yesterday by reliable sources cite the public disagreement over whether or not Bennett's past should have disqualified him from surgery, and this aspect of the story has left far more of a lasting impact than I think you're assuming. I think we should definitely include his criminal record. RobotGoggles (talk) 15:26, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree with this. if articles are published about it, if its part of the RS conversation about this event and his role in it. Then it should stay. Frankly, as an aside, in medicine we do not care what you have done or who you are. We treat every patient the same. The only exception being transplantation with limited organs, wherein we only care insofar as it affects the likelihood that you will be able to get full use of that organ. Ergo, alcoholics don't get liver transplants until they have sustained sobriety. This man's criminal past has no bearing on his ability to use this heart. An important conversation, but just want to be honest: there is a clear answer according to medical ethicists. — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 23:03, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, obviously I carry the bias of having created the article. My main point of reasoning that led me to create it in the first place was that the article Louis Washkansky exists, with Washkansky being notable only for receiving the world's first human-human heart transplant. Bennett Sr. has had the first successful animal-human heart transplant and therefore matches this level of notability. In addition to that, he is also notable for his criminal record, although that certainly is less noteworthy than his operation. As for the point that he is not "the main subject of the news articles", I would appreciate if you could expand on what you mean, Reywas92, because every article I've read has talked exclusively about Bennett, his operation, and the healthcare team that performed it, with Bennett making up much of the discussion. RFZYNSPY talk 18:29, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or Move - This article features important information that any encyclopedia would want to cover. The first successful xenotransplant from pig to human? That's groundbreaking. This is history. However, I do agree with the other posters here who say the article currently violates WP:NPF because Bennett is an unknown member of society and only became relevant because he was the patient involved in the surgery. The surgery is what's relevant and notable, not Bennett himself. So I recommend either keeping the article as is, or moving it to an article about the operation. And I know it's already been mentioned, but Bennett's criminal history is also notable. The conversation surrounding this medical breakthrough includes the discussion of whether or not Bennett deserved to be the patient for this groundbreaking surgery because of his history of violence. That's relevant, and it should be documented in an encyclopedia, so that readers in the future can do further research. However, because Bennett is alive, I recommend removing his name from the article and merely referring to him as "the patient" until he passes away and the article is no longer relevant to WP:BLP. RobotGoggles (talk) 15:23, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I think expansion of xenotransplantation may be appropriate, but we don't need a separate article for this one surgery either; Xenotransplantation#History has relevant medical info. This actually isn't the "first successful xenotransplant from pig to human", it was the first heart transplant, a kidney transplant having occurred last year. There are plenty of individual occurrances that you may call "history", but that doesn't mean each one needs a stand-alone article. Reywas92Talk 15:44, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, For WP:BLP1E reasons. The idea that because he's notable for the transplant, we MUST include his unrelated conviction is ridiculous. We would never create an article for someone based solely on a crime like that, and attaching it here just feels gross to me. Merge some of the content to Xenotransplantation#History, as suggested above, and give this man some peace. Parabolist (talk) 23:40, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or reorganize. There are many wikipedia entries on non-notable people who have passively suffered some newsworthy event: crimes are generally described in the article on the victim, who is non-notable until the crime, rather than creating an article about criminal, who is notoriously notable, as it were. In order to find this article, I instinctively used the patient's name from the news article, because in my mind this is the general Wikipedian rule—my instinct was correct in that I found the quickly (after disambiguation for David Bennett). Also, the criminal history relates to (1) medical ethics (who "deserves" a transplant?); (2) there is such a thing as local color; and (3) the character of the recipient. The crime is worthy of being discussed in one-week follow-up scientific article in Nature.[1] One reason Bennett was disqualified for a regular heart transplant was "he had a history of not complying with doctors’ treatment instructions", in other words, a lack of character. The single article on xenotransplantion will become unwieldy as more and more significant developments take place in the future. On the other hand, some wikipedians love humongous articles. Vagabond nanoda (talk) 04:23, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Someone doesn't deserve to have the crimes that they've served their time for prominently attached to every single google search about them just because some editors on wikipedia think that it adds "local color", good god.

  • Keep. removing the paragraph on his crime. it's not directly related.

Presumably by that point it will no longer fall under BLP. DGG ( talk ) 18:31, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I would rewrite the crime section and use more and better sources re: the medical ethics question. But this man is notable, and has been discussed in various ways. His role was substantial, it will likely have lasting notoriety, and his past is now part of the conversation. its part of why he has notoriety that lasts beyond his "5 minutes of fame." Medical ethicists will write papers about this, for sure.

Is the argument here that the article is irredeemable, ie WP:TNT? Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 05:58, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - @Goldsztajn: the article has been prodded twice, by El cid, el campeador and by Brigade Piron, under the "Genocides in central Africa" title, and now it's been moved. I guess per the sources you quote above, it might be possible to construct a coherent article from the topic in question, but either way this article isn't it. It's just a series of paragraphs about unrelated events, with no attempt to tie them together into any single narrative. So yes, I guess it's WP:TNT. I suggest deleting until someone has the time or inclination to write a proper article on the subject and can defend why it's notable.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:57, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, per nom. I agree there is nothing to salvage in this stub. Putting aside the rather nomenclature of a "postcolonial" era, what exactly is "mass ethnic violence"?

  • Delete @Amakuru: thank you for the clarification. Given that Genocides in postcolonial Africa (and variations thereof) redirect here, a suitably appropriate article could be created there. Given the inappropriate use of mass ethic violence in the title and the OR contents, delete is justified. While I'm personally also of the view that postcolonial itself is a problematic term, unfortunately, while not always, it is today predominant.

St. Clare's Girls' School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I nominated this article deletion for in 2020. At the time the consensus was to keep it due to some coverage it has received the South China Morning Post, a reference that was subsequently determined to be unreliable when it comes to subjects related to Hong Kong where this school is located. Even if that wasn't the case the references are either on extremely trivial run of the mill topics, interviews, PR puff pieces, or otherwise not worth using for notability anyway. Which is probably why they weren't used by anyone in the article by anyone after the AfD. So I'm re-nominating this in the hopes of there being a more in-depth, thorough discussion of the sources and if they show notability or not then there was last time. As the keep votes in the first AfD amounted to "keep per the other person" and there wasn't really a discussion about it beyond that. Except to question my competence. Which I'd prefer to avoid this time around. Adamant1 (talk) 04:24, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I said it's unreliable for things related to Hong Kong because that's what some people in the RfCs said. Obviously the summaries at WP:RSP don't cover every single comment made in the RfCs or the various nuances that they involve. Either way though, I was clear that it doesn't matter if it's reliable or not because the SCMP references are either on extremely trivial run of the mill topics, interviews, PR puff pieces, or otherwise not usable for notability. There isn't some magical thing that suddenly makes an interview usable for notability if SCMP is reliable. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:31, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, some people might have said something but it was rejected by consensus, so you should not pretend in a deletion rationale that it was accepted. Can't you just treat deletion discussions as discussions, rather than battlegrounds where you have to support your predetermined position by peddling obvious lies? Phil Bridger (talk) 13:09, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In the second RfC the third to last comment said " In case of contentious content about Hong Kong, it is recommended to also use alternative sources like HKFP", then the last commenter said "Usable in most situations, but exercise caution with political reporting and contentious topics." No one ever "rejected" what they said. Just because the first three RfCs were not official votes like the last one was doesn't mean the opinions stated by people in them aren't valid or not part of the general consensus. Even in the last RfC multiple people had civets about when the reference can be considered reliable and on what topics. Personally, I think their opinions are worth considering as one thing out of several. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. I've been more then clear that the closing comment didn't include the covets people gave in the RfCs and that I don't really care if people disregard the RfCs altogether. So in no way I'm treating this like a battleground or "peddling obvious lies." If you or other people want to ignore the RfCs and judge this on other grounds, by all means do so. I'd appreciate it if you assumed good faith and didn't insult me in the process though. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:53, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is precisely because I would like to assume good faith that deletion rationales and anything else written on Wikipedia will not contain lies that I am asking you to stop peddling them. The source was simply not "subsequently determined to be unreliable when it comes to subjects related to Hong Kong". Someone's opinion stated during an RFC is not determined to be true if it does not gain consensus. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:50, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If this was someone else's AfD and there was multiple RfCs about one of the main references used in the article then I'd read over the RfCs and consider what people said in them about the source when I "vote" as one factor out of many. So I thought it was worth mentioning. That's it. I never claimed there was more to it then that or that a couple of opinions in an RfC are the single, only, best, def-cato, authoritative, what the hell ever view points and that everything else should be ignored. What part of that or me saying "I don't care about this and people can ignore my opinion about the RfCs if they want" multiple times are you having such a hard time with? Also, let me ask you this, if the opinions given by people in the first three RfCs are suppose to be ignored as "not consensus" or whatever then why does WP:SCMP include links to them, instead of just linking to the last "authoritative" RfC? --Adamant1 (talk) 17:23, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What part of that are we having a hard time with? The part where you're still arguing about it, with the frankly outrageous claim that the sentiment of some minority voters in a RfC establishes what consensus really means, in open defiance of the close. If you believe that doing the decent thing and withdrawing your nomination is a humiliation you cannot bring yourself to initiate, then a dignified silence would be a good look. Ravenswing 17:55, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm perfectly fine with withdrawing the nomination. I commented below this that it can be closed as procedural kept by anyone that feels like doing so. Frankly I'm pretty neutral on that being the outcome. It's slightly disappointing that the whole thing with the RfC came at the cost of allowing of something like an interview to be used for notability, but such is life. I could really give a crap about what the outcome of most of my nominations is. Including this one. This isn't a battleground and I'm learning as I go just like everyone else. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:10, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As other people said, there is absolutely no consensus that SCMP is unreliable for subjects related to Hong Kong. If the nominator truly believes the consensus should change, they are happy to open a new discussion in WP:RSN. In terms of notability, as a religious non-profit school, WP:NSCHOOL and WP:NRELORG both note that the less strict WP:GNG standard can be used, and the sources provided in the first AfD are sufficient for that. Jumpytoo Talk 18:31, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually WP:NSCHOOL doesn't say that non-profit schools just have to pass WP:GNG. Since it says "All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools...must either satisfy the notability guidelines for organizations, the general notability guideline, or both. Nowhere there does it say "all schools except for non-profits." What it does say is "all schools" at the beginning of the sentence and non-profit schools are schools. Otherwise it would explicitly say non-profit schools just have to pass WP:GNG. WP:NRELORG says the exact same thing. There is no special exception for non-profits from having to meet the notability criteria for organizations in either guideline. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:53, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The very wording that you quote says that non-profit schools only have to pass WP:GNG. Do you really not understand the word "or"? Or are you again simply saying rubbish to substantiate your pre-determined position rather than discussing in good faith? Phil Bridger (talk) 19:04, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The quote doesn't use the word "non-profit" anywhere in it. So I have zero clue what your talking about. That said, I started a discussion about this on WP:Notability (organizations and companies) because I figured you'd use my comment as yet another opportunity to insult me about my opinions and think it would be helpful if things in the guidelines are clarified. Since this keeps coming up. Your free to continue the badgering in the other discussion if you really feel the need to, but I'd appreciate it if you stopped bludgeoning this with your unsolicited personal attacks. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:19, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am not bludgeoning and not making personal attacks, but just pointing out clear flaws in your argument. One of which is that "all" very obviously includes "non-profit", so there is no need for that wording to say "non-profit" explicitly. I can't say why you could possibly have zero clue what I am talking about without insulting your intelligence, so I won't. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:34, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is the sentence after the one you quoted which makes the "non-profit" relevant: For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria. From my interpretation, for-profit schools must follow the strict sourcing guidelines of WP:NCORP, whereas all other schools (public, non-profit, religious...) only need to pass WP:GNG which does not have such strict sourcing requirements. Jumpytoo Talk 20:42, 15 January 2022 (UTC)'[reply]
The fact that it says "those criteria" makes it sound like it's saying ""For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy the notability guidelines for organizations, the general notability guideline, or both." Otherwise why would it use the plural "those" and not just say "For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy WP:NCORP" instead? --Adamant1 (talk) 21:30, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Sources appear to be sufficient to show that this school passes notability requirements. Meters (talk) 20:19, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm failing to see why the South China Morning Post is unreliable in its coverage of Hong Kong topics. The wording quoted above clearly states passing GNG is enough, and I believe this article meets that guideline. NemesisAT (talk) 21:50, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep. The nomination challenged the use of SCMP as a source, but it has been established this was a clear misread of WP:SCMP by the nominator. Beyond that, it was established that the GNG was met in the initial AFD, and it's pretty clear that consensus is not changing here on that. The nominator has expressly requested that their competence not be questioned, so there is nothing more to do here that won't generate more heat than light. Martinp (talk) 13:30, 16 January 2022 (UTC). I have a very minor COI on this topic, in that I know an alumna. But neither I nor she has any particular interest as to whether this article exists.[reply]
  • Speedy Keep: Indeed, the nominator's expressly stated that they are neither lying nor incompetent, but it is not easy to take their bizarre claim about the text of WP:SCMP -- which is written in clear English -- any other way. It would be a stretch to consider this merely a fatally flawed nomination (rather than a bogus one), and if the nominator wants to assure us that they're acting in good faith, I anticipate the immediate withdrawal of this AfD. Ravenswing 17:53, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There's zero point in continuing the AfD if there isn't going to be any discussion of the references like I had originally hoped. Especially if a bunch of bad faithed, off topic personal comments are going to be about me in the interim. So I'm fine with anyone just closing this as keep (procedural, speedy, or whatever) if they want to. If an admins happens to read this and wants to close it then by all means do so. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:57, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I know that. Can you mention another film she played the lead role that has reviews like My Name is Kadi? I don't have the time to do the search myself.

  • Delete — I’m in agreement with the assessment of Liz, and paradoxically also in agreement with HandsomeBoy, in the sense that state that they know WP:NACTOR requires lead roles or significant roles in multiple movies for NACTOR to be met, unfortunately I fail to see this movies. HandsomeBoy, a problem I see almost immediately is that the four sources you made use of are unreliable, (or at least some of them the sources as a whole, whilst some, although reliable sources, are unreliable pieces) a breakdown; the the first source is pre packaged sponsored material, the second source has no presence of a staff reporter in the byline, indicative of an op-ed piece, a sponsored post or an editorial opinion piece all of which are not considered reliable as they bypass the editorial oversight team. The third source is pretty much without an editorial oversight team so isn’t reliable either. The fourth and last source you linked above is self published which is literally a quintessential example of an unreliable source. So in all, it seems that we really do not have anything tangible. Honestly, when reviewing articles I’m somewhat lenient when the articles are of persons or topics of great encyclopedic value, but in cases of most entrepreneurs or most entertainers who tend to want to get a Wikipedia presence for the sake of it, I’m rather strict, unless the article creator can come up with a list of multiple movies which shows her in lead or significant roles, or can show us that she has clinched a prestigious award for her acting skills as documented in WP:NACTOR or can show us at least three sources that meet WP:RS standards, I’m afraid this is not a good fit for mainspace.

I prodded this with the following rationale:

Fails WP:BASIC and possibly WP:V. Mentioned apparently by only a single source here, which does not even indicate with full certainty the subject's existence. Some assertions of the article are simply not corroborated by the sources, and some of the content appears to be WP:OR. The rest is irrelevant genealogical trivia. Subject did not reign, no accomplishments are known, and I can find nothing that can shore up this article.

And this was deprodded by Necrothesp with no rationale other than that there "seem to be several sources", even though I explicitly indicated that I looked at the sources, and that their combined statement does not support claims of verifiability or notability made in the article.

It may be added that this "Polemon Eupator" seems to have been invented or mistakenly conceived by the article creator based on his own interpretation of a damaged inscription (WP:OR) which a single source here has transcribed. None of the other sources cited so much as mention the man, and the only one that does doesn't identify the subject conclusively. Avilich (talk) 21:03, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The first name (not the second) is probably the single verifiable fact in the article, so it's probably not a simple spelling confusion. The creator found the brief speculation of a source and magnified it well beyond the limits of WP:OR and WP:SYNTH, reporting an unverifiable genealogical link and giving his own guess on how the subject's life went on ("He was raised in his parent’s realm", and so on).

    Given your and Avilich's comments above and the comments on my talkpage, I don't think it's me who's the patronising one! I deprodded for very good reasons, as I am perfectly entitled to do. It is obvious that only unecyclopaedic articles could possibly be uncontroversially deleted, which is what prodding is specifically for (ergo, my comment was accurate!). Ths article and the others prodded by Avilich are not unencyclopaedic (since princes are obviously not). -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:23, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to his father. This is clearly a person of whom we know little, perhaps nothing beyond his mere existence, which does not provide the basis for a full article. His father Polemon II of Pontus was a king, but Nero persuaded him to surrender the kingdom, meaning that no son succeeded him. On the other hand, I detected a gap in WP's coverage of Kingdom of Pontus covering the period when it had become a client kingdom within the province of Bithynia and Pontus, which is supposed to be a main article on it, but fails to cover the client kingdom properly. We have biographies of successive kings and List of kings of Pontus. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:49, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And once again you cast a vote without reading the nomination. We don't know that he is in fact the King's son, or that this is even his full name (the idea that we know for certain is the article creator's OR/SYNTH). Avilich (talk) 13:19, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can someone creating, deprodding, wanting to merge... this article actually produce a single reliable source even mentioning Polemon Eupator? I haven´t found a single one in e.g. Google books, which is very unlikely for this kind of subject. Fram (talk) 16:08, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Presumably [23] this is source 1, the source for the name? It includes many Polemons, and many Eupators, but never as a combination it seems. Anyone has more luck finding this name? Fram (talk) 16:16, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Fram: since you actually appear committed to understanding the problem (unlike others), the source is this. Basically there is a damaged inscription which gives some of the said names in fragmentary and incomplete form, and the source (and those it in turn cites within) makes it clear that any identification is a matter of conjecture (which the creator of this article felt at liberty to do). You're right that the name combination "Polemon Eupator" doesn't exist. If you're interested, there's another similar AfD here, which I forgot to bundle with this one.

  • Weak Keep -- This is very much not my subject. I suspect that this concerns something where we know little beyond what is in ancient sources; if so we cannot get more. Redirecting is destructive, since it removes from WP what little we do know; it would be necessary to add a further column to the target article giving details, which would upset what is intentionally a list article. Some one who knows the sources should be able to sort out such of the missing citations as are solvable. One of the problems is the use of a battlebox, which requires information with a precision that ancient sources do not give. The article cites several secondary sources. That there is conflict between them is the result of historians making inferences, beyond what is known. It is legitimate for the article to set out this conflict. IN the absence of further primary sources, any attempt by a WP-editor to resolve the conflict would itself be illicit original research. As this is a Muslim subject the primary sources will be in Arabic. What does the Arabic WP say on the subject? I do not know Arabic, and anyway as a Christian I do not edit articles about Islam.

Gentrified architecture[edit]

Gentrified architecture (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not a single source used the term "gentrified architecture". Outside of a font called "Gentrified architecture" that term doesn't really come up in google. This seems to be turning what many of the citied source point out as the architectural styles you typically see with gentrification into a new concept called "gentrified architecture". This article is implying this a new style of architecture being built. At best this should titled "architectural styles associated with gentrification" and the intro should be changed as not to make the author believe that these styles are not directly gentrification but just commonly found near where gentrification is occurring and not necessarily the cause of it. That alone I don't think merits it's own page. Architectural styles are already covered in Gentrification and could expanded with some of these sources but I don't think this page, describing an observational phenomenon on it's own, is notable.

While I agree it's true there is a pattern and look to some of the housing that goes up when gentrification occurs (as also citied), gentrification can only be determined in context as even the sources here state and involves more factors than simply the style of the building. I can't find any source that is making a claim like this article puts forward in it's intro. Also many of these sources cited describe how new architecture is simply changing the character of neighborhood without necessarily discussing gentrification, which also makes me feel like this page is more original research than based off discussion of this topic in external sources.

  • Merge into gentrification or delete. This isn't a real thing; at most it's an academic phenomenon notable in that some people mistake changes in the built environment for changes in the people who live in it, but it's not anything meaningful about the actual process of gentrification. grendel|khan 01:40, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete None of the sources use the term "Gentrified architecture" and this is just orginal research and synthesis. Architecture changes over time, and just because something new is built and is perceived as gentrifying the area doesn't mean the architecture itself is gentrified or is a style itself. Everything the nom says is correct, and this is not something that should be merged as it is. Reywas92Talk 16:39, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, don't merge. The article's sole author (User:Xicanx, now retired) argues for a concept and point of view that is insufficiently supported by the cited sources, and contradicts other, more notable views on gentrification - for example the widely held notion that traditional architecture can be a major aspect of what makes an area or building attractive for gentrification. I checked two of the given citations, both of which unraveled on closer inspection:
The construction of buildings in a gentrified architectural style increases appeal for outsiders, who are often tourists, and wealthy future residents, who see an area as "revitalized" or "redeveloped" because of its presence. This creates space for more developmental projects in a gentrified architectural style, as the buildings increasingly serve as invitations to outsiders while communicating to the current residents that the space is not for them or their communities.[1]
The cited thesis says nothing of that sort on pages 38 and 39. Rather, it criticizes a decision by the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) "to 'revitalize' through helping build a garage [which] speaks volumes about the city’s push to create spaces for white tourists and white (future) residents. In short, a parking garage communicates to the surrounding community that this recreational space was not specifically built to address their blighted community." More specifically, that decision was about "allocating $52 million for a garage structure for Eli Broad’s museum in downtown L.A. while simultaneously only securing $5.2 million in public help for Watts [...] While the Broad museum is a valuable addition to the city of Los Angeles, it is predominantly a tourist destination rather than one aimed at assisting residents of a blighted neighborhood." But that criticism is about prioritizing of funding, not at all about architecture. The source doesn't even talk about the design of said garage (it may well be an underground garage, i.e. have no publicly visible parts), and in any case it's not about construction in an area that is being gentrified but rather a downtown location that is already dominated by the avantgarde architecture of the existing museum building and the adjacent Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Gentrified architecture may drain the presence of color from certain areas. For example, in Santa Ana, California, the "colorful pastel tones of the commercial buildings that used to represent a symbol of Mexican architectural design" were replaced with "neutral tones."[2]
Here, a single case where a particular kind of architecture from a particular nation was replaced during gentrification of the Fiesta Marketplace in Santa Ana is misrepresented as an "example" of a general property of the supposed architectural style, without anything in the cited source supporting the claim that "drain[ing] the presence of color" is typical of "gentrified architecture." (It's also interesting that in the illustrations that Xicanx themselves compiled for the article, the supposed examples of gentrified architecture are clearly more colorful than e.g. the early 20th-century building in Mexico City that they are being contrasted with.)
Note also that the article's author has created other articles that have been described by various editors as having very similar problems, see e.g. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Indigenous Ways of Knowing (where one commenter referred to WP:FRANKENSTEIN to describe the way in which various incongruent citations had been cobbled together to support a particular POV).

I nominated this for deletion back in 2020 because it lacked notability. Unfortunately no one voted in the AfD and it closed as no consensus. So I'm re-nominating it now since from what I can tell nothing has changed about it since then. To summarize, what this comes down to for me is that the article has only been referenced to a single primary source since 2013 and I can't find anything about it anywhere that would work for notability. Nor could I when I originally nominated it. Especially if this is considered an article about a company and therefore has to pass WP:NCORP. Which I think it is and should. I'm not super up on what reputable, in-depth resources exist for articles related to Christian subjects or magazines though. So maybe someone can find sources I missed. If any are found, they should follow the notability guidelines from the gate and not be trivial, primary, or anything else that the guidelines say shouldn't be used for determining notability.

  • KEEP - the ship served with four navies. It would benefit from the addition of a "Description" section, but needing improvement is not a reason to delete. Sourcing is solid enough. Mjroots (talk) 16:33, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Serving with four navies is irrelevant, military material being sold from one country to another and so on is normal procedure and doesn't make that material more or less notable. The sourcing is fan sites and databases. Fram (talk) 17:52, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Landing Ship Medium. "Served with four navies" is neither a policy nor SNG. If this was so special, then why is not an overflowing amount of RS to demonstrate such? The sources here are blogs and Facebook (seriously?). The only RS cited is Warship International, which lists a mundane transfer of ownership of the ship alongside a dozen other similar handovers/sales. the closest I can find to good sourcing is this, but this does not constitute SIGCOV and ultimately the subject fails WP:GNG. -Indy beetle (talk) 08:38, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. We have long considered that all commissioned military vessels are notable enough for articles. See WP:MILUNIT #4, which, despite protests from one or two editors, is a long-accepted standard. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:56, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • "We"? Our long accepted standards are WP:GNG, and to a lesser degree some accepted SNGs like WP:PROF, WP:CORP, ... Project essays are by definition not accepted standards but proposals, rejected guidelines, informal thoughts, ... Furthermore, your essay states "As for any subject on Wikipedia, presumption of notability for a military unit or formation depends wholly on the existence of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. The consensus within the Military history WikiProject is that the following types of units and formations are likely, but not certain, to have such coverage and therefore likely, but not certain, to be suitable for inclusion" (emphasis mine). The likelihood has been challenged in these cases, just pointing back to the essay claiming that this makes them undeletable is circular reasoning of the worst kind. Fram (talk) 11:17, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments - GNG is the standard; and there are going to be occasions when there just isn't the coverage. There is an alternative target of List of United States Navy Landing Ship Medium (LSMs) which seems to duplicate the lists in Landing_Ship_Medium. GraemeLeggett (talk) 12:06, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Landing Ship Medium. At present, the subject of the article does not meet the GNG due to a lack of significant coverage in reliable sources (many of which mirror Wikipedia's content).

Fram (talk) 08:19, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect - I haven't seen any indication that a standalone article is warranted here - the tidbits that are unique to this vessel could easily be incorporated into a class article (for example, see S138-class torpedo boat, where some of the ships have articles, but most do not). Some of these ships had notable service careers (USS Hunting is an obvious example), but the majority of them did not. Parsecboy (talk) 13:59, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Please note that any details or even mention of ships with redirected articles is being systematically purged from the class articles - see [[25]] - so information that is unique to this vessel will be lost with redirect becoming deletion.

  • Keep - Besides passing GNG, there's no such thing as a "run of the mill" commissioned military war ship. One of the reasons of long standing consensus of retaining articles of commissioned military vessels is that it's literally impossible for there not to be extensive government reports on the proposal, planning, production, operation and long term analysis of such vessels.Oakshade (talk) 03:38, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
GNG requires independence from subject. Government and manufacturers documentation would not count under that.GraemeLeggett (talk) 06:53, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Redirect to a class page. RS-coverage appears to be limited to Friedman, which seems to be sufficiently non-independent to prevent usage in notability arguments, and Jane's Fighting Ships which seems like it could fall into the directories and databases exception of WP:GNG (see footnote 5). Admittedly, I don't have access to Jane's so I can't check and hence "weak". That said, this is more borderline than some of the others in the class. If someone can produce even slightly better sourcing, I'd likely go with (weak) keep instead. -Ljleppan (talk) 08:21, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Friedman is independent of the subject and would be a great source for the appropriate class article, and for a physical description of the ship, but its coverage of the history of this ship is limited to construction dates - as I added and transfers between users. The coverage in Jane's is also brief - dimensions etc, dates of transfer and the conversion to hospital ship (as added) - there is also an intriguing hint in the 1974–75 Jane's that the ship is "assigned political warfare personnel in addition to the ship's normal complement". The frustrating thing is the ship appears to have been involved in major events - the evacuation of what became North Vietnam by the French in 1954–55 and the escape of the South Vietnamese navy in 1975, but the current sourcing merly implies this rather than giving the article something that can be referenced.Nigel Ish (talk) 11:07, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Has anyone checked Veith (as used in the LSM-110 article and claimed in the LSM-110 Afd)?

Janis Maria Wilson[edit]

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

Meets no Wikipedia guideline. Does however fail several policies, guidelines and essays, including but not limited to WP:GNG, WP:ENT, WP:CHURNALISM, WP:MILL, WP:PEACOCK. Since it was kept in 2015 I'll detail why, first regarding the claims, and then regarding the sources:

  • "She is known for portraying Miss Gudbrandsdalen" - false, it was a miniscule role which no-one noticed or remembers
  • "In 2006 she appeared in the Norwegian television series Shopaholic" - no notability of appearance
  • "was a finalist in the Miss Norway modeling contest" - not even the winners are considered automatically notable
  • "appeared in a commercial for Norwegian financial firm DNB ASA" - nowhere near notable
  • "on the cover of magazines such as Beauty Style, Lowrider, and Norwegian magazine Gatebil" - not notable unless the magazines wrote WP:SIGCOV about her
  • "one of 21 Norwegians competing for a chance to become a Playboy cover model" - one of 21? Lightyears away from notability
  • "Wilson was the alleged victim of personal attacks on two separate occasions in 2010" - highly trivial, fails WP:10YT, WP:IMPACT etc.

Now for the sources:

  1. Trivial local news about part-time jobs
  2. unreliable blog
  3. passing mention
  4. unreliable gossip
  5. unreliable website, not independent
  6. not in-depth, is about the trivial Playboy contest
  7. news about an attack without lasting significance whatsoever, see last bullet point above
  8. news about an attack without lasting significance whatsoever, see last bullet point above
  9. news about an attack without lasting significance whatsoever, see last bullet point above
  10. news about an attack without lasting significance whatsoever, see last bullet point above.

  • Weak keep. This is related to the Swedish sin. Book hits include [27], [28] and [29], though the hits are not very in-depth, Forså's name is brought up as a selected mention.

  • Delete per Timtempleton. What this comes down to for me is that the only references we have on her that might be usable are from the two books that are referenced in the article, but it's pretty likely going by the titles of the books that they are not in-depth coverage. If we are extremely lucky one might be, but that's not enough for notability on it's own. I'm not convinced by keep voters who cite "book hits" as a reason to keep either.

    • Comment. The Netherlands does not have a "federal or similar system", so no passage of WP:NPOL. Provinces have very few powers in the Netherlands and the States-Provincial is therefore more equivalent to an American county council. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 18:55, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • I am not completely familiar with the government structure of the Netherlands. Relying on Provincial council (Netherlands), the councils seem to have some powers similar to a US state and are described more as regional governments, rather than local governments. I could be convinced that the council is more akin to a county council, rather than a provincial legislature. --Enos733 (talk) 20:00, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • The comparison with county councils is more based on the powers the provincial legislatures have than on their size or population. American states (and administrative divisions of any country with a federal system, for that matter) can create (criminal) laws, determine taxes, create a constitution, and make policy decisions about things such as healthcare, education, and the voting process. Prodemos, a Dutch democracy institution outlines the function of Dutch provinces on this page (only Dutch language). To summarize, they are only responsible for determining places for new industrial parks and neighborhoods, for handing out environmental permits to factories, for maintaining natural and recreational areas and cultural monuments, for maintaining regional infrastructure, for stimulating the regional economy, and for checking on municipal governments. They don't make actual laws, and I think that is the reason for the distinction in WP:NPOL. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 22:38, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          • Striking my keep position due to previous discussion of the mainland French regional councils. My sense is that there is a scale of how much authority/autonomy a sub-regional legislature has - that there is not necessarily a yes/no distinction of whether the governing authority is a "federal or similar system." --Enos733 (talk) 17:11, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Passes the WP:GNG with relative ease. While the response above seems to focus on WP:NPOL #1, members of provincial assemblies are often covered under WP:NPOL #2. Meijer is no exception. Hence the keeps that mention NPOL are very valid. gidonb (talk) 02:20, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's hard to draw a line, but when do you call it similar or considerable amount of power? Compared to federal systems like the US and Germany, they have a fraction of these powers. If even the Dutch province passes the test, which system does not? Dajasj (talk) 07:52, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There cannot be a claim for NPOL#1, these provincial councils are not parliaments (ie legislatures), they are supervisory, administrative, regulatory bodies; yes, they are nominally a higher level than municipal/local government, but nevertheless, they mirror (functionally) local government over a larger area. We've not accorded presumed notability to members of the mainland French regional councils (see discussion here), the same applies to the Dutch provincial councils. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 12:59, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I agree with the nominator that this politician is (fairly) "famous". They then seem to make an WP:IDONTLIKEIT claim but we examine elected officials by their merits. Not by how much we like their opinions or how mainstream or not these are.
Meijer obviously led a national movement that was not represented in the national parliament. This situation is not so well covered under NPOL #1. He was also elected time and again to local council and once (?) to the provincial council. But for his first provincial as the leader of his group.
Now, even if we were to hold that NPOL #1 is met (I am cautious in this matter), I have frequently seen subsequent requests that the topic also meets the WP:GNG (and with it WP:NPOL #2). In other words, meeting NPOL #2 is more important and final. Well, for Meijer the sources are clear:

All linked from the article. It is likely there are also quality sources from the first years (not in the article!) but this is sufficient. I have explained elsewhere that we have a lull between 2000 and 2005 (a bit before and after as well), as not yet covered by Delpher and not on the newspaper websites either.

Well, most of these sources are provincial sources, no wonder they write about a local politician. The article from Algemeen Dagblad appears to be from Parool, also local. The only national newspaper is Telegraaf, which is known for its focus on drama. Personally, I'm not really convinced by these sources.

Het Parool and Noordhollands Dagblad are well-known and read regional newspapers. Of course, local newspapers would still be valid so this is a nonargument. As long as they are verifiable, independent, etc. Just like the other sources. De Telegraaf is the most read national newspaper in the Netherlands. Algemeen Dagblad, the second-most read national newspaper, also carries this news on its site. It went into the print version of Het Parool, covering the greater Amsterdam region.

  • Keep, North Holland has a population of slightly under 3 million people, a newspaper which serves that region can hardly be considered a local paper. As such, given the numerous examples of non-WP:ROUTINE coverage cited, this person passes GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 12:31, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, for the reasons those who want to keep this article. Davidgoodheart (talk) 01:14, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. This AfD is already open for a while and all this time neither the nominator nor the sole person who supported this nomination have come forward with any factual basis for deletion, rooted in policy and guidelines. I have shown how there are plenty of independent, reliable, verifiable, in-depth high-quality sources, and, frankly, these kept coming after my list was added because interest in this person increased once more after he joined BVNL. This AfD seems to be an WP:IDONTLIKEIT nomination, where "fringe", by itself a very important and useful guideline, is wrongly evoked from this IDNLI background. gidonb (talk) 11:19, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the nomination was based initially on his not being an unsuccessful candidate for national office. Being elected to a local council does not equate to an NPOL pass. When I saw that the nl.wiki article had been deleted for lack of notability this strengthened my concern. Finally, the sources in the article at the point of nomination did not look like the kind of coverage we’d want for a good GNG pass. My original nomination statement may not have been sufficiently clear if these points did not come across well. Mccapra (talk) 20:26, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The intro may be weak but your new message is slightly alarming as you seem to be headed to the same mistakes in the future and with it a huge waste of time for our community that would do better to invest its time in the article space. Since when is only looking at the sources in the article sufficient for a nomination? Does the WP:NEXIST rule, Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article (the bold is in the source), not apply to you? Have you studied WP:BEFORE? Did you even now not look at WP:NPOL and the different routes to satisfy it? gidonb (talk) 05:39, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly it applies and if I’d seen other sources that looked solid I would not have nominated the article. A simple search for Paul Meijer brought up nothing at all for me about this individual. A search for “Paul Meijer Forza” brought up four pieces of news about disputes over funding that did not look to me like a sound basis for creating a bio article. I couldn’t even find anything that confirmed he was elected to the States Provincial. Mccapra (talk) 08:36, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not object against a redirect or merger but in itself this NGO cannot be a standalone as it doesn’t meet WP:NGO & because they grossly lack in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them. Celestina007 (talk) 23:13, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No major roles as an actress, pageants all seem minor and the sources are meh at best without much significant coverage. Ravensfire (talk) 21:26, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
