Syntactic expletive[edit]

This article is an unnecessary content-fork of Expletive which already has a sub-section on Syntactic expletives. The article was, in fact, created by de-merging/copying from Expletive, but the de-merger hasn't worked out well. Instead of expanding with useful sourced detail, it's become a mishmash of what a few editors on the talk page have referred to as original research, and a vast array of examples taken from Swedish (why Swedish??). The referencing is extremely sparse, with all the content being in the lead, and supported by one dictionary, one linguistics text and one very, very primary source. I have no doubt that secondary sources could be found, but I think the subject isn't notable enough to need its own article outside Expletive (and hasn't improved on Expletive since the 2011 de-merger). I would consider suggesting a re-merge, but I can't see anything in the new article that is worth merging back. But I'm open to a merge or to moving this discussion to mergers if that's considered the best option. I haven't used PROD because the article has been adopted by some editors as a project for a linguistics course, so I think deletion is potentially controversial. However, the student concerned posted on the talk page that the edits would be completed by 20th Dec, and today's the 19th, so unless there's a flurry of editing today, the article hasn't benefited.

  • Delete: The article's shortcomings are too numerous to mention. --Kent Dominic·(talk)
  • Comment on the history: I created Syntactic expletive in 2011 by splitting apart an article called "Expletive" that existed at that time. The current article Expletive was created via articles for creation in 2018. If memory serves, I think the other content from 2011's "Expletive" went to Expletive attributive, and perhaps a bit of stuff to Profanity. I can't really speak to the current state of any of those articles. Cnilep (talk) 07:58, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation, Cnilep. My feeling is that the article has drifted in a bad direction since you created it, and it looks like it's been superseded by the 2018 expletive. Elemimele (talk) 09:51, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Cnilep, I truly appreciate the concept of a syntactic expletive, and I don't fault your interest in trying to describe it, but I think the article was doomed from square one on 04 Nov 2011. Main reasons: (1) It was and still is OR, and (2) Expletive, not syntactic expletive, already has dibs on the (EXPL) abbreviation. Secondary reason: I'm unconvinced by the premise that a syntactic expletive "contributes nothing to the semantic meaning of a sentence." Such an assertion constitutes an ipse dixit disproven in the article itself with the explanations of what "it" constitutes in the "It is important..." example. IMHO, the stab at syntactic expletive seems to duplicate what dummy pronoun is supposed to entail. Nonetheless, I don't think the dummy pronoun article's third ¶ does justice to the notion that "A dummy pronoun is a deictic pronoun that fulfills a syntactical requirement without providing a contextually explicit meaning of its referent. As such, it is an example of exophora." Long story short: Delete the syntactic expletive article and merge with dummy pronoun despite how I shun both terms in my own writing. --Kent Dominic·(talk) 17:01, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As a follow-up, Joansiuu's recent edits, despite their formatting errors, fairly well demonstrate further reasons that I think a syntactic expletive is neither a true expletive nor non-contributory to the semantic sense of a sentence. --Kent Dominic·(talk) 17:11, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An article about a professor from the University of California, Santa Cruz that is not remotely notable outside any of her papers and research publications. From doing several searches online, all I get are links to her works, but nothing completely about the individual. I don't see the notability even under academic guidlines.

  • Redirect to The Cult - I did a Factiva news search and he comes up in the news a lot, however, it is always just in articles about the cult, mentioned as part of that. Doesn't seem to be individual notability for him, (I couldn't see one RS that spoke about him or featured him specifically) so..its a redirect from me! Deathlibrarian (talk) 05:53, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep Redirect to the Cult is not satisfactory. According to Aoziwe's ref, his music career started in the 1990s. According to AllMusic he was a member of NYC-based group Mink from 2006, which issued an album in 2007. They toured US and Australia. Fellow members include David Lowy and Stella Mozgawa. Mink are notable enough for their own article. Prior to the artist's American-based career, he backed Sarah McLeod. How much of his non-the Cult work can be put in that group's article? Is WP:MUSICBIO satisfied by the current article?shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:46, 9 January 2022 (UTC)shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 04:12, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that he is "(ex-Mink)" is already in the Cult's article. Simply change that to "{ex-Mink, Sarah McLeod)". If Mink ever gets their own article, Fitzpatrick can be mentioned there just like he is mentioned for the Cult. He still doesn't qualify for his own individual article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:51, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This is hillarious, one editor objects to this not being a long enough nomination, not inclusive enough, and yet this multi-person nomination is tending towards having multiple outcomes because the level of sourcing on the six people involves is not uniform. I have to admit part of me feels that for AfD we should only allow one article to be nominated at a time. I think this is about as large as is reasonable for a multi-article nomination, if not larger than is at all reasonable. I am thinking a 5 article absolute top limit with no exceptions and very heavy encouragement to not even go that large would be much better. I see absolutely no way that having a larger scale nomination would be helpful. If would focus us even less on the individual information on individual subjects that we need to justify articles, and more on the general ideas of what is and is not notable, which is not the subject at hand.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:37, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I did some improvements to the first film's page, so notability for that shouldn't be an issue. I also want to note that Common Sense Media is typically seen as a RS. They aren't really indiscriminate in their reviews per se, but they do put an emphasis on reviewing stuff that is popular. Ready Steady Cut is questionable - they have an editorial team but their advertising angle is a bit vague. Meaww (MEA WorldWide) looks ok at first glance but their contact page mentions "custom solutions" so that's a bit vague.

Member of the Snohomish County Council. The expectation of county council members who have not served as a member of a state or national legislature is that the sourcing show more than "they exist" or routine actions. The sourcing should describe their impact on policy development or the political significance of their actions. In this case, the subject does not currently pass WP:NPOL and the sourcing is not sufficient to meet our expectations of local office holders.

  • Keep It's somewhat of an elision of the facts to state "Has been discussed for deletion before" without mentioning that it was kept in 2012 and 2013 or that this is the 3rd nomination of this article by the same editor. What has changed with regard to both the earlier consensuses for keep? Cut and paste nomination gives little indication of appropriate BEFORE. Bartle and Allen refer to the effect of the Animal Protection Party on Evan Harris' 176 vote loss in 2010, when the APP candidate got 142 votes.[1] Discussed by veterinary industry news source.[2] Prison time of candidate.[3]

Given the previous contributions here, this is not an argument; a general assertion without an application to the specific reveals little, AfD is always case by case. This was the state of WP:ORG at the time the 2nd nomination was closed as keep (ie 21 July 2013); how is the difference between ORG then and now relevant as applied here? Answering that would be an appropriate contribution. We have press coverage, we have a reference to an effect in a notable election loss (Evan Harris), we have a party presenting candidates in multiple electorates. Delete !votes need to refute the arguments made (including the weight of two previous consensuses for keep). Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 23:41, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So notability is preserved in aspic for ever more? This party achieved barely any national, important, relevant coverage at the time and have had no important, impactful, notable coverage since. Evan Harris was not a household name back then and certainly isn't today. They are not, if they ever were, important or notable enough for a Wikipedia article. We accept lack of notability for boybands, PR firms, apps, and business people. We should accept the same for political parties. doktorb wordsdeeds 04:34, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
AfD isn't "case by case"; you've decided to disregard WP:CONLEVEL by arguing that this should be kept based on some idea that political parties have an SNG. WP:NORG had a significant rewrite of sourcing requirements years ago in 2018. [7] This was because organizations kept flooding articles with bad sourcing. The Oxford Mail covers a candidate, WP:INHERITORG makes it clear the parent organization doesn't inherit notability because a member got press coverage. WP:ORGIND makes it clear that "there is a presumption against the use of coverage in trade magazines to establish notability" and that's because you have fellow travellers writing these kinds of articles. The Vet Times source was written by Andrew Knight, a spokesperson for the "Animals Count" party, another "animal rights" microparty. Colour me surprised that it isn't a super good source. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 02:10, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Case-by-case means we look at each nomination individually, with reference to our policies and guidelines; I was emphasising this since since your original justification for delete was no more than an assertion that the guidelines had changed. FWIW, CONLEVEL it not relevant here, two previous AfDs reached a conclusion of keep on the basis of the guidelines, no one is arguing that the guidelines should be ignored (and that is certainly not what case-by-case means). Other than WP:IDONTLIKEIT, I see no reason in rejecting the piece by Andrew Knight, you've not demonstrated that it is unreliable or lacks independence (if anything the independence is crystal clear as it is from a different political party); that one person of a similar political persuasion says something regarding another political party is hardly grounds for rejection ... and politically like-minded parties are far more likely to reject those closest to them than cooperate. I think its also important to note that the "organisations" flooding Wikipedia with bad sourcing, churnalism, etc are for-profit companies. There are presently 338 registered political parties in Great Britain, and 28 in Northern Ireland; according to Companies House, there are 4 million registered companies in the UK. Using cookie cutter approaches for such vastly, qualitatively different phenomena, is not encyclopedic. And just to be clear, I am not making an argument for 366 articles about every political party in the UK, that should be done case by case.

  • Keep - pace Chess, there is no risk of spamming if we have reasonable extra-NORG criteria for political parties. In another party AfD, I suggested the criterion of having fielded multiple candidates over several elections, a bar which this party appears to satisfy.

List of players who played only one game in the NHL[edit]

List of players who played only one game in the NHL (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)

Reading through the first two AFD's for this article, the discussion fails to take into account any of WIkipedia's notability policies or guidelines.

  • This article is a standalone list, so WP:LISTN comes into play. WP:LISTN says that "Notability of lists ... is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable source." It also says "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been." This is clearly not met. The only sources in the article are NHL.com, HockeyDB.com and a now dead LegendsofHockey.net (which appears to be the Hockey HoF now). These are sports database sources or self-published. They are not independent, third-party reliable sources that establish the topic of "people who played one NHL game" as being a notable topic.
  • Since WP:LISTN doesn't seem to be met, we can look at WP:GNG. However, a simple search shows no reliable sources covering the topic of "people who have played one NHL game". It is not something that is discussed or analyzed in third-party, reliable news sources.
  • This also fails WP:NOTSTATS, as it is simply a regurgitation of a database query on HockeyDB and NHL.com. Wikipedia is not a sports almanac.

The past discussions seemed to overlook these glaring issues and focused too much on how difficult it is to maintain or other unrelated issues. This discussion should focus on whether there are sufficient third-party, reliable sources to establish notability per Wikipedia's notability policies and guidelines. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:45, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Ice hockey-related deletion discussions. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:45, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The previous discussions illustrated why this is a notable grouping of players. Significant external sources maintain lists of these players, including HockeyDB and the Hockey Hall of Fame. The list is well-maintained and well-sourced. -- Tavix (talk) 16:49, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Tavix, neither of these sources establish notability of the list topic. They are sports almanacs whose sole purpose is to document every statistic. "External sources" are not third-party, reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a sports almanac. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:59, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Except that the hockey DB page is definitely reliable, and the linked page is not documentation of a random stat but a presentation of a topic as evidenced by the title of the page.18abruce (talk) 17:09, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • I am not saying HockeyDB is not reliable. Its a sports almanac. Just because information exists, doesn't mean it should be on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a sports alamanc. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:16, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Obviously. Here is a book by a reputable author dedicated solely to this topic. A whole book, not just a mention. There are many other sources that satisfy GNG for this, as evidenced by the sourcing for Ken Reid's book.18abruce (talk) 16:55, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I will admit, this is the first step in the right direction. If a few more of these types of sources are found, then I will gladly withdraw the nomination. But one book that documents interviews with 39 of the people on this list of ~400 people doesn't establish notability by itself, especially when that source is not available to see what it actually says. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:02, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Beyond the reasons tendered above, there's another important purpose to the list. It's been a constant issue on Wikipedia for many years the degree to which sports-related biographies dominate -- one in seven bios are of soccer players alone. Sentiment and consensus are slowly catching up to the letter of NSPORTS, which holds that the various criteria for inclusion are presumptive, that biographical articles need to meet the GNG, and that the many instances where little to nothing is known about a player save that they played (say) a single game for Hamilton in 1923 should no more qualify a subject for an independent article than, (say) being an an otherwise unremarkable member of a band should.

    A catch-all list article is a perfectly valid target for such redirects. Removing such articles sabotages the whole notion, and instead of a handful of similar list articles, you have many thousands of sub-stub bios. Ravenswing 18:40, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I very much agree with this sentiment, but every person on this list has an article; there's not a single redirect here from a name. If Brian Murphy (ice hockey) and Harry Bell (ice hockey) are redirected here it would be worth keeping, but it's otherwise not the case. Reywas92Talk 19:04, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When I created this article many years ago, my thought was to list the players with a short career summary without the need to create an article for each one. Over the years, though, editors created articles for each player anyway. Masterhatch (talk) 19:29, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As noted by Ravenswing, consensus has changed in the last couple years, and I expect that most of the stand-alone articles for one-game players in the early days of the NHL lack SIGCOV and would be deleted in today's stricter environment. Cbl62 (talk) 20:36, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And, probably, eventually will be. Ravenswing 20:46, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • First, and as pointed out by User:Ravenswing, the list is useful as an alternative to deletion. One-game players, especially in the NHL's early years, did not receive the type of SIGCOV needed to support stand-alone articles. Despite this fact, sub-stubs have proliferated about these one-game players. Many such articles would be best dealt with by way of a redirect to this list.
  • Second, the topic of one-game players or "cup of coffee" players (both in the NHL and other pro sports) does receive substantial attention.
  • Third, WP:NOTSTATS is NOT a rationale for deletion here. NOTSTATS covers "Excessive listings of unexplained statistics. Statistics that lack context or explanation can reduce readability and may be confusing; accordingly, statistics should be placed in tables to enhance readability, and articles with statistics should include explanatory text providing context." Here, the list is not a mere regurgitation of confusing or unexplained stats.
  • Fourth, WP:NLIST expressly states that "notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been." NLIST also goes on to say: "Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability." This list fulfills all three of these purposes: information, navigation, and development. Cbl62 (talk) 20:28, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Sources used are credible because not only are they well-known by users (e.g. Inc Magazine and Analytics Insight), but their online channels also have a very high domain authority (in the that many of the sources included have a 60 or higher domain, with some 90+) and readership. This means that search engines such as Google classify them as high-authority and credible to users, and rank these outlets high on page 1 of searches. Many of the sources included are also big news outlets. Plus, Virtudesk is gaining more credible coverage every week, and we can continue to add to the article when those come out, and edit out old sources. Thanks guys. Ares-2021 (talk) 23:22, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ares-2021: Here is my review of the references given as of revision #1063623990 at 01:35, 4 January 2022:
    1. WBOC: As it says at the top, it's "Sponsored: Advertising Content".
    2. Apollo: Also advertising; begins with "VirtuDesk is the perfect solution for your business!".
    3. WRDE: same as WBOC.
    4. Starter Story: It's written by the founder so it's not independent.
    5. Inc.: This is a company profile, and doesn't establish notability.
    6. ValiantCEO: An interview with the founder isn't independent, and the site notes that they "publish pieces as written by outside contributors", and that these "are not commissioned by [their] editorial team".
    7. WICZ: same as WBOC.
    8. Analytics Insight: another interview with the founder, which is not independent.
    In summary, absolutely none of these demonstrate the significant coverage in reliable and independent sources needed to establish notability.
    • The WBOC/WRDE/WICZ advertising is the exact same advertising on three channels' websites, possibly to create the impression of wider coverage.
    • The two interviews and the one written by the founder are the opposite of independent.
    • The company profile is from a reliable source (Inc.) but is not significant coverage.
    • The Apollo source is advertising.
    Also, a website being ranked high in Google search results does not imply reliability. If Virtudesk "is gaining more credible coverage every week" like you say, then come back and write the article when it's notable — Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.

This is an incomplete list of Blue-Ray DVD scheduled for release WP:NOTSTATS List does not meet WP:LISTN or WP:GNG Whiteguru (talk) 07:25, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete For failing WP:NLIST and WP:GNG. I can almost guarantee that 99% of what's put on here eventually won't be notable and that the list is un-maintainable in the meantime either way. There's an infinite amount of DVD releases every year. It's to easy for something like this to turn into mindless trivia, it's all WP:MILL, Etc. Etc. I really can't think of a single reason this list should exist. If people want to find what new films are available in 2022 they can find the information a lot better by do a Google search or looking at an actual movie review website. --Adamant1 (talk) 15:20, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    What about all the others at Category:Home video by year? Every year since 1971 is listed. 2021 in home video has 1316 entries. All of the entries have a reference. Dream Focus 15:45, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not relevant here. These are all the same, just for different years. Any deletion nomination for one should include all of them. Anyway, my point was in response to the comment about there being an infinite amount of DVD releases each year. I pointed out there is a limited number of things listed in each article, all referenced to prove they are worthy of being on the list. We don't list every single thing released of course. Dream Focus 00:33, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes it is relevant. The AfD nominator can choose to nominate one article, a few or all of them. Any attempt to increase the efficiency of AfD nominations is optional. MrsSnoozyTurtle 03:58, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Exactly. People can nominate similar articles in whatever way they feel like. In the meantime it would be weird if I was voted keep just because the articles weren't nominated all at once even though I believe they should be deleted as individual articles. I'm sure the other ones will come up for deletion at some point, since all of them seem to have the same problems raised by nominator about this one, and baring any unforeseen circumstances I'm more then happy to vote delete on the other ones when or if they do get sent to AfD. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:34, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question - how meaningful is this list in 2022 (or 2021 for that matter). I imagine many movies don't even go to DVD these days, and release dates have been messy especially since the start of the pandemic. Today, the more meaningful dates would be when something is available for streaming, but of course then you may have a variety of dates for different platforms, limited releases, etc. Regardless, at what points does a tiny part of the industry stop needing its own dedicated list. I mean we're even still calling it home video. Not a !vote - just a question. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:29, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    When its available to pay for viewing by streaming is it not also available for purchase on DVD or BluRay? Reliable sources list when something is available for release by any of these methods of course. The list articles could easily add in a category for that. Dream Focus 00:36, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is a good question, Rhododendrites, since the home video article implies that streaming is a separate category.

    Similar issues regarding the dates also exist for these "home video" releases, since release dates are often different between countries. MrsSnoozyTurtle 03:58, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Another thing worth mentioning is that none of these movies are notable for the year they were/are released. So it's a totally arbitrary list in that regard. It might as well be 2022 home videos with actors or whatever. Being released on physical media isn't a defining, notable, characteristic of movies or television shows anymore then something like that they featured actors would be. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:49, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • At least when home video was bigger, it was very easy to find lots of lists in reliable sources of what was released when. That's still true of streaming now. List members don't have to be notable for the criterion that admits them to a list (at least not by default for non-BLPs). The list subject itself does need to be notable, though. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 12:52, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lead does at least specify the list is about the US/CA. The title should probably reflect that. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 12:52, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete per WP:NOTCATALOGUE. This is essentially just a list of Amazon links to movie releases that readers can purchase DVD or other media. There is nothing encyclopedic about listing every single home media release that is available in a particular year nor advertising one of the biggest online movie distributors in the world. This should also set a precedent for all earlier years dating back to 1971: Category:Home video by year. Ajf773 (talk) 20:33, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment-- I agree it's a literal Amazon catalogue but there is lots of "year in home video" articles already (similarly formatted) and if this must be deleted then all similar article must be too-- GeraldWL 18:31, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ryayan855: The articles serve no purpose (WP:LISTCRUFT). Wikipedia is NOT a catalog (WP:NOTCATALOG). It is not our problem that you and other editors spent their valuable time working on them. They are meaningless and should be deleted. The main source, Blu-ray.com, is unreliable. If a reader wants to know when a film became available on DVD, they can go to that's film article and find out for themselves. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 22:16, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ryayan855: Firstly you offer no real reason for keeping this article (and subsequently the others). Secondly most of the content is not verified with the sourced provided. Thirdly, Wikipedia is not a catalogue of every thing available to be purchased. The only thing that needs to come out of this entire category of articles is a single article outlying milestones in home video (adequately sourced as well). Ajf773 (talk) 10:08, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. This wasn't the Canadian Hot 100 as it exists now, but the Canadian Singles Chart of old, which by 2005 had long been notoriously unreflective of the most widely-heard songs in Canada because it was based purely on physical sales, which died out in North America long before they did in the UK. A case in point of how low the sales required for this chart were: Elton John's Diana tribute returned to number one on this chart in January 2002. So a high position on this chart is much less likely in itself to make a song notable compared to a high position on the modern Canadian Hot 100, for all that I applaud this song for spelling Hallowe'en properly.

#3, "The nomination is completely erroneous. No accurate deletion rationale has been provided". Geschichte (talk) 07:45, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's reasonable to nominate a poorly-sourced article for deletion after a standard, basic WP:BEFORE search. It's unreasonable for an article creator who didn't bother to include any sourcing beyond Discogs and a list of books written, to expect others to do an extensive search in multiple languages. If you don't want your articles to end up at AfD, I would recommend starting them as drafts and moving them to mainspace only after they've been developed with GNG-level sourcing. And please don't claim "no accurate deletion rationale has been provided" for good faith nominations. Your best bet is to put your money where your mouth is by adding sources (which you've done) and politely point this out at AfD (which you seem to be struggling with). –dlthewave 20:32, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - based on addition of references by User:Geschichte. @Dlthewave: - (1) Specifically on this nomination, between Google and the no-Wiki article (where it's clear that there are references in Norwegian) enough sources and pointers to sources are easily visible to indicate that the man is likely to be notable, even if you can't read them and won't be bothered to translate them. So it doesn't look as though you did make "a standard, basic WP:BEFORE search". (2) Generally, please get off your high horse. Be assured that you're in no position to be so patronising.

No independent coverage. Was a business from 1980 to 2001, now a consulting brand for one of the founders. Multiple other software businesses of this name make searches difficult. Based on the article, Maxon Computer GmbH could be a redirect target, but that article doesn't (and needn't) mention this company.

@Piecesofuk: Thank you. There are a great number of search results to go through, and I personally can't comb through all of them to find ones that pass WP:SIGCOV for the company. Based on the search results you provided, I share Pavlor's concern that the products may be more notable than the company itself. (Advertisements do not warrant product notability, and product reviews must meet WP:PRODUCTREV). If multiple reliable independent sources about the company itself do not exist, the products' notability is not enough to keep the company's page in existence. If anyone has time to pinpoint in-depth coverage of the company from reliable sources, please share what you find. Heartmusic678 (talk) 11:54, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Apart from this company profile (mentioned above) https://archive.org/details/AmigaComputingIssue094XMas95/page/n31/mode/1up I can find plenty of product reviews in eg British magazines https://archive.org/details/cuamiga-magazine-072/page/n64/mode/1up US magazines https://archive.org/details/Antics_AMIGA_Plus_Volume_1_Number_1_1989-05_Antic_Publishing_US/page/n18/mode/1up French magazines https://archive.org/details/st-magazine-080/page/n33/mode/1up It's difficult tracking down news items using archive.org's search, but here's one https://archive.org/details/Atari_ST_User_Issue_088_1993-06_Europress_GB/page/n6/mode/1up where Hisoft are referred to as a "Top Developer" and the one from the British Newspaper Archive I mentioned above which refers to Hisoft as "one of the most respected software houses in the home computer field" in the Liverpool Echo on 9th November 1985 https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000271/19851109/050/0006 Piecesofuk (talk) 13:18, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Piecesofuk. Unfortunately, product reviews are irrelevant in the discussion to keep/delete this company page. The BNA does not permit open access without creating an account, and brief mentions of the company are not enough to pass WP:SIGCOV. The purpose of meeting WP:SIGCOV is to allow Wikipedians to write a whole article about a subject, per WP:WHYN, and if we cannot prove there is in-depth coverage about the company (not the software) to do so, the Wikipedia article about the company has to be deleted. My vote is Delete unless WP:SIGCOV can be proven for the company alone, not its products. Heartmusic678 (talk) 15:21, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - there appears to be difficulty sourcing much on-line info from the 1980s, but we should consider British Newspaper Archive per Piecesofuk's research. There are thousands of references in Archive.org and beyond, although it is a struggle to identify stuff that passes WP:SIRS from there. HiSoft adverts typically contain blurb about the company, and this tends to crowd out hits on more analytical pieces. The journalistic style of the time would typically not dwell on the organisations much, despite the significance of the products, so analytical pieces would be few. These issues mean that evidence may be difficult to compile. Chumpih t 04:13, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep In my opinion, the profile contained in the Amiga Computing magazine coupled with the mentions of the importance of this company's products in their own specialist fields and the fact that the age of this company means we must take WP:NEXIST into account pushes the topic company over the line.

Biblical harmony[edit]

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

I cannot find any source on the Biblical harmony article, whether on its title or on its subject, i.e. I found no RS discussing what is described in the article, independently of the title of the WP article. And so far the article has not been attributed any source over its 14 years of existence. Moreover, as pointed out in 2014, the article seems to be redundant with other similar articles, so maybe the article was created by mistake.
I asked on the WikiProject Christianity one month ago if someone had more information, and no one has replied so far.
I recommend deletion. A redirect to Gospel harmony would be a bad idea, as gospel harmonies are never called "Bible harmonies". Veverve (talk) 12:12, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment a simple search turns up many instances of biblical harmonies, such as this and this. There is clearly a secondary literature describing them such as this and this, so without specialist knowledge or confidence about really appropriate sources, I’d still be inclined to keep. Mccapra (talk) 21:03, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mccapra: those are all forms of gospel harmonies so they have nothing to do with the article I nominated. The only exception is this one, which is unclear as to whether it discusses a singular attempt at something or an attempt which is part of a whole alleged "biblical harmony" genre. Veverve (talk) 21:29, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- This involves trying to put various accounts from books of the Hebrew Bible or New Testament in chronological order. What we have in the article is an extended dictionary definition. At home I have something called Townshend's Bible, which is an 19th century attempt at this. I do not think this is an article that needs references. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:21, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, given the absence of relevant sources in the article. If there were sources, I would still think that this would probably best be merged and redirected somewhere. BD2412 T 00:43, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I see little evidence for biblical harmony as a "hermeneutic method" in reliable sources on biblical criticism. The contents of the article, if better-sourced, should still probably be merged into Biblical paraphrase or Gospel harmony, the former of which especially needs significant expansion in its own right.

Non-notable abandoned airport. I can verify it existed, as part of Menihek Hydroelectric Generating Station, but what I cannot find is significant coverage, other than borderline coverage of the one accident in 1953.

There are numerous similar pages of defunct airports in Canada. For example: Opinaca Aerodrome; Stanhope Airport; Lac à la Perchaude Airport; Sainte-Agnès-de-Dundee Aerodrome; Chambly Airport; Matoush Aerodrome; Senneterre Airport; L'Assomption Airport. The reasons given above, i.e., non-notable abandoned airport and significant coverage, apply to all of these airports. If these airports have enough coverage for a separate article, Menihek Aerodrome has more information and thus justifies a separate article. 70.77.44.96 (talk) 05:50, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Menihek Hydroelectric Generating Station per nom. WP:NAIRPORTS, which it being an essay not a guideline notwithstanding, says Any unattended airport or any privately-owned airport not open to the public and not marketed in public are factors which cause a higher standard to be imposed for the significance (quality and quantity) of the airport's sources. Generally they are not notable unless they have very significant reliable sources (not including a required airport registration) to make them notable. This airport does not have WP:SIGCOV enough to make it notable in its own right. snood1205 02:18, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
