  • Delete not notable, and those sources do not constitute "significant coverage", two don't pass WP:RS and the other isn't an especially notable column in Vice. Overall article is WP:SOAP. Acousmana 09:49, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per the sources Kvng listed. Only Brooklyn Magazine is reliable and gives significant coverage to the subject: 50 Third and 3rd has disclaimers in their T&C that implies no editorial review of articles (i.e., it's blog-quality material), and the Vice story covers the founder of the label, not the label itself. —C.Fred (talk) 11:58, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - He is a NCAA champion, and a PBA first-round pick. But even if I added sources on that, he would still be a stub.

Have searched in vain for better sources. Fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. Edwardx (talk) 20:10, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Bigneeerman. NCORP is not the correct notability criteria to look at. Like @CT55555 pointed out, NCORP is for organizations and companies. The correct criteria are GNG and AUTHOR, which @Edwardx already listed above. --Kbabej (talk) 23:05, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments I don't understand the delete vote above, an author should not need to pass WP:NCORP as she is not an organisation or a company. I've improved the article, more than doubled it. That said, I could not find any significant coverage. I added some biographical information and one short book review. I guess children's books don't attract long reviews. I'm hoping others find more. It seems she has created a large body of work, non-independent review say over-200 books, but I did not find that stated in independent reliable sources. CT55555 (talk) 12:35, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The sourcing just isn't there. The "Dog Days Reading" source is a one-sentence mention without a byline; the entire sentence is: "Fantasy fans who dig dragons can can enjoy the latest fun in A Practical Guide to Dragon Riding (Wizards/Mirrorstone $12.95)" That was the only hit on newspapers.com, and the rest of my searches couldn't find anything resembling sigcov. --Kbabej (talk) 23:13, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Also I think delete is the unavoidable conclusion here. I searched for sources, added some in, but none are significant. I'll reverse my decision quickly if anyone can find significant sources, so please say if you do. CT55555 (talk) 23:18, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Freeman was a soldier in the U.S. Army during World War II. He was assigned to E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States). However, he never acquired sufficient rank or received sufficient awards to qualify for WP:SOLDIER. His only claim to fame is his assignment to E Company; that falls under WP:INHERITED.

  • Weak Delete the Band of Brothers (miniseries) effect here. He personally did nothing notable, but then Ambrose wrote his book, they made the miniseries and suddenly it was like Easy Company won WWII. The repeated stories that have followed mean that every minor member of Easy Company has some coverage. All the sources provided just cover his death and that he was the last surviving member of Easy Company. It can be argued that amounts to SIGCOV satisfying WP:BASIC but I can't support this position that has developed that a few news reports of some old person dying establishes notability that they never had while alive. Mztourist (talk) 03:03, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Weak) Merge to E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States) based on how the coverage is limited to him being the last member alive. All told, this appears to be an edge case, but personally it has a certain je ne sais quoi which makes a dedicated article not feel quite proper. If I were to motivate this by policy, I guess the argument goes something along the lines of "being/dying as the last member of Easy Company seems like WP:BIO1E, and the coverage as a living member of Easy Company doesn't appear to rise to level of independent notability". But that's post hoc rationalization on my part. Ljleppan (talk) 07:07, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Merge as proposed above. No notable decorations and nothing aside from being a member of a unit someone wrote about and dying last.

Wikipedia is not a place to list anything that happens to be popular in a random city. Food trucks didn't originate the Tampa that this is an arbitrary article. I'm sure every major city has had a couple of local news stories about how food trucks are becoming popular, but that doesn't make it encyclopedic. This could be reduced to a paragraph that is inserted in the economy section of Tampa. ZimZalaBim talk 18:23, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Appears to be a very minor fictional character - according to a Marvel wiki, he only appeared in a small number of issues, and I cannot find any substantial coverage on the character in reliable, secondary sources. Note that this character is completely unrelated to Deacon Frost, a somewhat more notable character, who is usually the result of searching for any information on a Marvel character with the name of "Deacon". I see that a WP:PROD was declined a couple years back with the suggestion of a merge, but I disagree with this - the character is very minor, there is no actual sourced material here outside of primary-sourced plot summaries, and the various Marvel character lists should not just be a dumping ground for completely non-notable characters about which there has never been any kind of reliably sourced discussion.

Blackout (Lilin) has a name drop in a list. Ghost Rider has a line entry for Deacon under Enemies, but nothing else. Only Caretaker (comics) provides any context for Deacon, and it's still pretty unsubstantial.

Article about a film series, not properly referenced as passing WP:NFILM. As always, films are not automatically notable just because it's possible to verify that they exist -- they must show some reliably sourced evidence of significance, such as notable film awards and/or critical analysis by professional film critics.
But the only notability claim on offer here is that it exists, the article is so poorly formatted that four of the seven films in the series only have an "empty section" tag and another one consists only of an offsite link to the studio's own website, and other than one piece of "where are the kids now?" in a newspaper two decades after the end of the series (which isn't enough coverage all by itself) this is otherwise referenced entirely to IMDb and the studio rather than third-party coverage in GNG-worthy sources -- and even on a ProQuest search for older coverage that wouldn't google, all I'm getting is event calendar listings and accidental text matches for unrelated topics.

  • Keep I created the article. It is about a notable subject who has appeared in the news and in books over a period of years and about whom there is plenty independent and significant coverage in reliable sources. The nominator has mentioned the very relevant essay WP:NOTINHERITED which I quote: Inherent notability is the idea that something qualifies for an article merely because it exists, even if zero independent reliable sources have ever taken notice of the subject. which seems clearly to mean that nothing or nobody should have an article, just because of their relationship with someone, sources are needed. Of course, I agree. And the most important part of that esay, in my opinion is this: Individuals in close, personal relationships with famous people (including politicians) can have an independent article even if they are known solely for such a relationship, but only if they pass WP:GNG..
So. for for example, Prince Charles is only famous because his mother was Queen Elizabeth. Does it mean he should have no article? Princess Diana was only notable because she married Charles. Should we delete her article too? No. Of course, not, because despite them only being notable based on marriage and birth, they meet WP:GNG in their own right. That is what this essay calls for, just the normal thing, meeting WP:GNG. So, does Errol Musk meet WP:GNG? Are there multiple, independent, reliable sources that have significant coverage? Yes. There are cited in the article. But for the avoidance of doubt, here are some:
  1. https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3181794/meet-elon-musks-controversial-father-errol-tesla-ceo (about the subject)
  2. https://buffalonews.com/business/local/exploring-the-otherworldly-ambitions-of-elon-musk/article_2fc57479-93eb-5016-b724-016b48a4f4f3.html (significant coverage, being 8 mentiones)
  3. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/elon-errol-musk-children-stepdaughter-b2123744.html (about the subject)
  4. https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a40621623/errol-musk-fathered-child-with-stepdaughter/ (about the subject)
  5. https://web.archive.org/web/20150703011435/https://www.forbes.com/sites/kerryadolan/2015/07/02/how-to-raise-a-billionaire-an-interview-with-elon-musks-father-errol-musk/ (about the subject, an interview, so in my opinion good for notability, less good for verifiability)
  6. There is also significant coverage in various books over the years, I can't hyperlink to them, but a search in google books shows them.
In summary, the essay above just calls for meeting WP:GNG. I had some concerns about this article in the context of criminal allegations about the subject and you'll see conversation with @Kj cheetham and another editor on the talk page, who I pinged for a second opinion. But I have no doubts that he meets WP:GNG and I think the nominator is mistaken in their understanding of WP:NOTINHERETED. From a technical points of view, WP:NOTINHERETED is an essay, an opinion piece (and a very agreeable one) but WP:GNG is an actual guideline, and outranks it anyway. Meeting WP:GNG is the gold standard for notability and I think the article is aligned with both essay and guideline. CT55555 (talk) 16:44, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:INVALIDBIO, WP:BLP and WP:NOT policy, including concerns over the tabloid-style, sensationalized sources and nonindependent content supporting this article, e.g. Meet Elon Musk’s controversial father, Errol: the Tesla CEO called his South African dad ‘evil’ and denied rumours of family wealth fuelled by an emerald mine – but are they ready to reconcile? (SCMP, 2022); Exploring the otherworldly ambitions of Elon Musk (Buffalo News, 2014, "said Errol Musk, Elon’s 68-year-old father, in a rare interview"; this article is focused on Elon, biographical information about Errol is brief and Elon-focused), Elon Musk’s father reveals he has had a second child with his own stepdaughter - report (The Independent, 2022, churnalism from the non-RS tabloid The Sun; The Cosmopolitan article linked above is the same); How To Raise A Billionaire: An Interview With Elon Musk's Father, Errol Musk (Forbes, 2014, an interview about Elon); book sources also appear to be focused on Elon and insufficient to support WP:GNG/WP:BASIC notability for Errol based on the limited content about his career in the article. Beccaynr (talk) 18:48, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, per WP:N, A topic is presumed to merit an article if: 1. It meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG) listed in the box on the right; and 2. It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy. (emphasis added). WP:BLP policy includes Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources [...] Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. Beccaynr (talk) 19:11, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The article does not include any "claims". Everything is cited in reliable sources and the recent news is very well documented in news media from all around the world. CT55555 (talk) 19:29, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    There appear to be a lot of 'claims' in the sensationalist reports - the churnalism from The Telegraph is another example, in addition to sources that explictly state they rely on the deprecated non-RS The Sun (i.e. The Independent, Cosmopolitan). The recent news is tabloid and tabloid-style sensationalism, churned in multiple outlets. Beccaynr (talk) 19:40, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    In the context of the specific piece of information being volunteered by him in an interview, and that being reported by a lot of sources (just search for his name at Google News), I think it's strange to think of this as a "claim". I also think we cannot just assume that the first news source to report something is the only one who fact-checked it. I might feel less confident if this wealthy individual has disputed it or if there was some content being disputed by anyone, anywhere. CT55555 (talk) 19:50, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Much of the article content is focused on a scandal related to him and low-profile living people, and Wikipedia is WP:NOTSCANDAL, which is what I attempted to link to above in the first WP:NOT policy link. The recent sources are also filled with claims about various people based on interviews with other people, which makes Wikipedia a primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. SCMP even uses the term 'rumours' in its headline. Beccaynr (talk) 20:07, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:NOTSCANDAL is policy and steers us away from gossip. I quote Scandal mongering, promoting things "heard through the grapevine" or gossiping. That policy is entirly about accuracy, not about judgement. Everything is cited and verifiable. How we individually perceive contents to reflect on him, our point of view, must be set side. CT55555 (talk) 21:04, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the "or" helps interpret the policy as beyond the gossip and rumors in the sources and includes the scandal described in the article, despite the subject admitting to it. Per WP:V, specifically WP:ONUS, not all verifiable information must be included. Consensus may determine that certain information does not improve an article, and this is a scandalous, trivial detail about his personal life, that is disproportionately prominent in the article. With this content removed, there does not appear to be much beyond his relationship with his notable son to support his own notability, which appears to be within the WP:INVALIDBIO guideline and supports deletion. Beccaynr (talk) 22:30, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The weight of the detail, in my opinion, is equivalent to the news it got. What is or is not a "scandal" is a point of view and we should avoid that. I sense we are not going to persuade each other. That's OK.
    I think every point we're disagreeing on leads me back to the simple fact of the subject being being notable as per WP:GNG so I'll try to make that my last reply to you here. CT55555 (talk) 22:37, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The sources seem to support referring to this disproportionately-covered detail of his personal life as a 'scandal' because it is tabloid fodder, and other news outlets are churning the tabloid content in a sensationalized manner, and an otherwise generally reliable source such as SCMP refers to him as "controversial" while also printing 'rumours' and what Elon says about him. WP:GNG is not enough to support WP:N, which is why I added the additional comment after my first comment. There appear to be significant source-supported, policy-backed concerns with this article that support deletion, and nothing specifically identified beyond the sensationalized coverage to support notability independent from his son. Beccaynr (talk) 22:47, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    To briefly respond to these points:
    • WP:INVALIDBIO really says the same as WP:NOTINHERITED - people related to others need sources in the same way. I quote That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A (unless significant coverage can be found on A) The part in brackets is key. I hope I addressed that above.
    • Regarding WP:NOT the only part that I think could conceivably apply here is the bit about being PROMO or publishing thoughts, I think this article does neither. But I welcome any edits if flaws are identified.
    • WP:BLP I think this is BLP compliant.
    • Both WP:SCMP and The Independent are highlighted green WP:RSPSS as reliable sources. The Cosmopolitan is yellow, it requires a case-by-case analysis. There is also reporting from other reliable sources such as The Telegraph. I've used no depreciated sources. The Independent and The Sun are owned by different corporations, I see no reason to assume The Independent is unable to do it's own reporting or fact checking, it's an established journalistic organization.
    • That some books are more about his son doesn't means they don't contain significant coverage of him. Quoting WP:SIGCOV Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. CT55555 (talk) 19:26, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Beccaynr (talk) 13:08, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The crime thing (which I deleted before moving from draft, to be cautious) is a quote that appears widely online in reliable sources, so I think needs to not be included as per the guideline, but it's not the sort of thing that warranted hiding previous version.

  • Comment. Since it's been nominated for deletion, this page has been viewed approximately 10,000 times per day. It has grown by about 30% in length due to edits from 8 editors who have added career and family information, and it is now a C class article. News about the subject have appeared I think multiple times every day with outlets in Europe, Asia, and the Americas all discussing his rather dislikable behaviour. So while he is a rather dislikable man, about 60,000 wikipedia users have learned about him since the 17th of this month. CT55555 (talk) 20:54, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment The class doesn't really matter for this discussion (though it's barely C class in my opinion), neither does the number of hits I don't think. It all comes down to the sourcing. -Kj cheetham (talk) 21:45, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Elon Musk averages 70k+ per day. I wish I could see that Errol Musk was notable. I see an unremarkable person and I struggle to see anything notable bout him. Bruxton (talk) 21:51, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I thought that that the intent of the rating system was for it to be conducted by an independent editor, not by the page's creator and main contributor. Certainly self-rating can't be used as justification for keeping the page. I applaud your efforts to find reliably sourced facts, but they don't change the truth that the only notable thing about the subject is his family. Rosbif73 (talk) 20:28, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The rating given by me was that suggested by the automatic rater tool, which was recommended to me, I think by @Kj cheetham. I think the rating is non controversial. I think it's normal for reasonably experienced editors to rate articles as per suggested ratings. If anyone thinks the C rating is incorrect, of course, they can change it.

Article about a documentary film series, not properly referenced as passing WP:NFILM. As always, films are not given an automatic notability freebie just because they exist, and must show some reliably sourced evidence of significance -- but the only notability claim even being attempted here is that this exists, and the referencing is entirely to promotional content on either Amazon.com or the self-published website of its own production studio rather than WP:GNG-worthy third party media coverage about it. It's also been flagged for notability concerns since 2013 without ever having any new secondary sources added. Bearcat (talk) 15:14, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, but Delete if nobody can demonstrate that this passes WP:NPROF with independent reliable sources that pass WP:NOTABLE. Having published work does not, in itself, make an academic notable, no matter how many publications there are. Notability depends on the impact the work has had on the field of study. This notability guideline specifies criteria for judging the notability of an academic through reliable sources for the impact of their work.
I'm not certain that the Turken Award counts as a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level , as per WP:NACADEMIC. I don't mean to be insensitive or discount this person's obvious accomplishments, but Wikipedia has very specific requirements for notability. The void century (talk) 03:12, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NPROF is "explicitly listed as an alternative to the general notability guideline". To me this is a clear pass under criteria 1, sub-section a: "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work." The majority of citations are independant. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:57, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment/question. She is the president of Yale-NUS College. WP:NACADEMIC criterion 6 is met if The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.. How do we establish if Yale-NUS College is a "major academic institution"? It has 140 staff teaching about 1,000 students, a 11 year history - to me that seems maybe major?

Only one criterium is necessary for notability. JamesKH76 (talk) 12:40, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
She was one of four co-editors under a managing editor (David Green)[16]. That is not equivalent to "chief editor", that's just being on an editorial board. Yale-NUS also isn't an independent university, as degrees are conferred by NUS; it seems to function more as an "honors college" within NUS. JoelleJay (talk) 20:23, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A managing editor plays no academic role, they process the flux of manuscripts and usually work for the publisher. I can confirm that a co-editor in this situation is indeed a co-chief editor. Check the link above where the top editors are named co-editor. The editorial board is another body.
Yale-NUS is a joint venture between two major universities. Seems notable to me. JamesKH76 (talk) 08:25, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. From the link above: The top two tiers, composed by the managing editor(s) and associate editors or coeditors, are in charge of the referee process and the editorial decision-making. The managing editor is the top tier here. And Yale-NUS operates as an honors college within NUS; presidents of honors colleges (or any other sub-university colleges like "college of engineering") are not notable through C6.

  • Delete Per the notes section of WP:ACADEMIC, The criteria above are sometimes summed up as an "Average Professor Test": When judged against the average impact of a researcher in a given field, does this researcher stand out as clearly more notable or more accomplished?. The Canada Research Chair position is not a named chair appointment from a university, it is a government grant program that funds 2,285 research professorships, so it does not appear to meet WP:NACADEMIC #5, which also states, Criterion 5 can be applied reliably only for persons who are tenured at the full professor level, and not for junior faculty members, and her CV says she began this research grant before she obtained a full professorship. Per JoelleJay and #8, she was not the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area, and per #6, a recently-established small branch of a major university that is in the process of closing (Yale and National U. of Singapore Announce End of Prominent Joint Liberal-Arts College, Chronicle of Higher Education, "Yale-NUS College, as it's known, will be merged into a new, interdisciplinary honors college in 2025") does not appear to have support in sources to be considered a major academic institution. I also searched the WP Library, and found a book review for what may be a short book she wrote, in addition to the one book review cited for a different co-edited book; WP:NAUTHOR notability also does not appear supported at this time, and there does not appear to be support for other WP:NACADEMIC criteria, nor WP:BASIC notability. Beccaynr (talk) 15:34, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    My answer to a question asking if she is clearly more notable than the average professor, is a clear yes.
    Am I misunderstanding something, because the research chair is at a specific university (the Calgary University). I don't think that being government funded detracts from it in any way. With 2,285 research chairs created since 2000, is Canada an outlier in some way? CT55555 (talk) 15:43, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Roberts received a 5-year grant while she was junior-level faculty; per the Canadian government website, this is a Tier 2 Chair, which are "tenable for five years and renewable once, [and] are for exceptional emerging researchers, acknowledged by their peers as having the potential to lead in their field." The website also states, "Nominees for Tier 2 Chair positions must be emerging scholars." WP:NACADEMIC #5 states, Criterion 5 can be applied reliably only for persons who are tenured at the full professor level, and not for junior faculty members, so this grant does not appear to support this criterion, in addition to not being a named chair or distinguished professor position established by the university for tenured full professors. Beccaynr (talk) 16:08, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry to keep asking questions, but I'm trying to reach consensus rather than just say keep and walk away. When it says it cannot be "applied reliably" do you consider that to mean it can never be applied, or does it indicate to you that we need to consider surrounding factors. Because to me it suggests the later and I'm seeing a lot of other things above that alone don't get her past the bar, but combined seem to add up to something. Combined with the definition including the word "exceptional" seems like a keep vote still seems reasonable here. But I say that as a question, inviting critique. CT55555 (talk) 16:14, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It cannot be applied reliably and therefore cannot be used to establish notability through C5. There are many many grants and academic awards that describe themselves as being reserved for "exceptional" candidates; the reason we restrict our criteria to senior faculty and have very strict guidance on what factors can even partially contribute to NPROF is because there is so much promotionalism within academia. Regardless of all that, though, research grants do not ever count towards C5 so the point is moot. JoelleJay (talk) 16:36, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I consider the word only to be a key part of interpreting the criterion that says can be applied reliably only, and the additional detail not for junior faculty members a helpful clarification about surrounding factors. The definition of this grant also twice includes the word "emerging", which seems to emphasize the junior-level nature of the Tier 2 grant. Beccaynr (talk) 16:50, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Exactly what Beccaynr said. Government grants do not confer notability, especially not ones reserved for early-career researchers. JoelleJay (talk) 16:14, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment for critique I was convinced about the research chair, but respect the counter arguments. My preference to include makes me want to say that all these almost/half meets of various subject matter notability requirements should add up to a whole, but I think I must vote delete due to the lack of significant independent coverage. This is some sort of a heart-keep, head-delete scenario. So no updated !vote for now, waiting to see what others say first. CT55555 (talk) 16:49, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • She is the President of Yale-NUS College. 6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society. And 6b reads Criterion 6 may be satisfied, for example, if the person has held the post of president or chancellor (or vice-chancellor in countries where this is the top academic post) of a significant accredited college or university, director of a highly regarded, notable academic independent research institute or center (which is not a part of a university), president of a notable national or international scholarly society, etc. Does this college count a "major" academic institution? Dream Focus 17:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dream Focus, because the college does not award degrees itself (rather they are awarded through NUS), and because it operates as an honors college of NUS, it cannot be considered an independent institution, much the same way that engineering colleges within universities are not separate entities for C6. JoelleJay (talk) 22:21, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    NUS already has an Honors College (University Scholars Program), but Yale-NUS represents a distinct entity as the first liberal arts college in Singapore. It does award an NUS degree, but its curriculum and structure is sufficiently different than even the University Scholars Program at NUS. Crcolas (talk) 05:14, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It's an honors college that will be merged into the other honors college in 2025. It's literally listed alongside the colleges of law and music as one of the 16 NUS colleges. Not independent. JoelleJay (talk) 16:13, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Yale-NUS is not an Honors College. That argument is factually wrong. It is a liberal arts college. It has its own budget, governing board, president (not Dean - as for an Honors College), VPs, etc. It has three academic divisions, 14 majors, minors, etc. Its own admissions process. Yes, it is listed along side colleges at NUS, but you will note the website is not an NUS URL. Furthermore, it is tied to Yale in many ways that make it quite distinct from NUS (many seconded faculty from Yale over the years, the Dean of Faculty have mostly been senior faculty from Yale, etc)
    You can debate if it is a major academic institution but it is a academic institution of considerable noteworthiness in both North America and SE Asia - note articles in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed, etc. when it was founded and when it was announced that it would close. 76.28.109.15 (talk) 21:57, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure, it's liberal arts college that offers exclusively honors degrees through NUS (though not through Yale). But per its charter it is still an "autonomous college of NUS", not a separate, independent university (although it is independent of Yale).
    From this article in Yale's "Accent Magazine": As expressed in the Yale-NUS charter, Yale-NUS is not an independent institution, but rather a school that exists as an autonomous institution within NUS. As reflected by our student cards, our future degrees, and whom we pay tuition to, Yale-NUS lies within NUS. JoelleJay (talk) 04:20, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As per the reasoning of Beccaynr (like CT55555, this is a "heart keep, head delete" situation for me). MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:05, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. There are a lot of claims of notability that don't quite make it. A tier 1 Canada Research Chair would be enough for me for WP:PROF#C5 (which generally involves a level of professorial recognition a step beyond full professor) but this is tier 2, below full professor and clearly not enough. It's hard to search given the common name, but she appears to have inadequate citation counts and only one edited volume, neither enough for WP:PROF#C1 nor WP:AUTHOR. Yale-NUS is small, new, dubiously independent and imminently defunct, so the claim of WP:PROF#C6 notability is also too weak for me. She is listed as former co-editor of the Canadian Journal of Economics, but for that journal co-editor means being an equal member of the entire editorial board, not the editor-in-chief, so I don't think it passes WP:PROF#C8. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:35, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. I've been chewing this over. She almost meets a few different notability requirements, and I think more than two halves make a whole. I think it's fair to say that in the context of WP:5P5 and us taking cues from guidance, that a bit of human analysis is ok here and this emotional biological lump of carbon and water thinks that the encyclopedia is better to have her in it. CT55555 (talk) 18:41, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. She's co-editor of a major journal, president of a university (sure a small satellite one but still), was president of the Canadian Women's Economics Network, had a Canada Research Chair (which your average academic does not get) and has thousands of citations to her publications on Google Scholar despite having been in admin positions for several years.

There's a difference between being a stub and being outright not notable. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 23:15, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lil-unique1, what prestigious award has she won? What highly selective society has she been elected to? What evidence do you have she "might" have had a substantial impact on a number of academic institutions? What is her "named chair" (noting that the "Canada Research Chair Tier II" grant is unambiguously excluded from NPROF as it is neither an academic chair appointment, nor a senior-career professional award). What journal has she been chief editor of (noting that the journal she was one of four co-editors for explicitly outlines its editing hierarchy and her position is definitely not that of a chief editor)? JoelleJay (talk) 00:41, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I said maybe indicating that I wasn't sure based on what's in the article. Is the Polanyi award not considered notable? She was chair of the Canada Research Society which satisfies the condition at NCACADEMIC, granted she wasn't chief editor of a journal in their subject area she was an editor. Holding a recognised academic position and having all of the above on balance makes her notable per NACADEMIC. Bios only have to meet one set of notability criteria. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 08:50, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Per this discussion and the information in the article, it appears that none of the WP:NACADEMIC criteria apply. For example, the Polanyi award is for young scholars, so it is not the type of major academic award described in C#2 because emerging scholar awards do not confer a high level of academic prestige. The Tier 2 Canada Research Chair has been discussed as the type of grant that if awarded as a Tier 1, could be sufficient, but per the C#5, Tier 2 is not. C#8 only applies for the head or chief editor of a major well-established academic journal in their subject area, and as noted above, she was not. In addition, a 2-year term as president of the Canadian Women Economists Network does not appear sufficient per C#3, because elected memberships in minor and non-notable societies are insufficient.

Does not specific coverage by the UK House of Commons confer notability (House of Commons (1904). "The Devas Institute". Parliamentary Papers 1850–1908. Vol. 73. H.M. Stationery Office. pp. 305–308.)? I think the combination of references is enough for WP:GNG and WP:ORG. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 18:50, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Jpbowen, Volume 73 of the "Sessional Papers" records the formation of the Devas Institute as a charitable trust and records its constitution. The information is PRIMARY, fails ORGIND. It is also the case that is was common practice for the constitution of charities to be recorded in the sessionary papers in this way as parliament recorded various endowments given to charitable uses (mainly churches, hospitals, orphanages, veteran's homes, etc) as part of the City of London Parochial Charities Act, 1883.

  • Delete - based on a review of the current sources, and an unsuccessful simple Google search for additional sources. Fails WP:GNG. The most notable thing about the club appears to be the recent coverage it got for its 125 year anniversary. If the club were truly notable, its anniversary coverage would warrant more than a little box on page 15 of the Lambeth Life free publication. I wouldn't be opposed if someone wanted to add a "culture" section to the Battersea article with a Devas Club redirect, and briefly mention the club.

  • Note: in assessing the notability, the previous name of "Devas Institute" should also be checked. There are 701 mentions on Google including articles, etc. (e.g., see 130 Years of the Devas Club, p.12, Home Front Legacy 1914-18: Devas Institute, 82, New Road (PRN: 10670), etc.) Looks like enough, IMO. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 12:48, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Response Good call to point out searching for "Devas Institute". The article "130 years of the Devas Club" was written by "former Devas Club Trustee Tim Gee MBE" who was involved with the club for 44 years so that would mean he wasn't "unaffiliated" to the organization and the source would fails ORGIND for the purposes of establishing notability. The other link is simply a map pointing out that the club is on the site of an air raid shelter, no in-depth information on the *organization*. Fails CORPDEPTH. Neither of those sources are meet NCORP criteria. HighKing++ 11:55, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Since the Devas Club/Institute is largely of historical interest and note, I am seeking help from a historian colleague to find more in-depth articles from historical sources (not likely to be online). I hope to have more information on this next week. I believe this book includes coverage, but do not have it to hand: Terry Powley (2014), Getting On With It: A History of London Youth ISBN 978-0957087323.

Mayors don't get an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL just because they exist; the notability of a mayor hinges on being able to write and reliably source a substantive article about his political significance: specific things he did in the mayor's chair, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his mayoralty had on the development of the town, and on and so forth. But there's nothing like that here — and for added bonus, the town has a population of just around 4K according to its article, and the mayors are not directly elected but are selected by annual rotation from within the city council, and that kind of mayor gets even less of a presumption of notability in the absence of sourcing than the elected kind.

Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:20, 17 July 2022 (UTC) PS.

Although it is possible something could be rewritten using [25] and/or [26], the point is that pretty much nothing in the current article is rescuable, and a total rewrite would be needed (so, WP:TNT applies).

If any actual relevant sources are provided, they should be explored in the main article in the context of a proper prose discussion on the topic.

  • Delete - A TV Tropes style list of basically any time the concept of being tarred and feathered was mentioned in pop culture, no matter how minor, with absolutely no reliably sourced content discussing or analyzing the topic. While an actually sourced, prose discussion on the main Tarring and feathering article is very likely possible, this article is certainly not it, and should not be preserved for such an attempt as even the few potentially notable examples have no sourced content discussing them here, and no information outside of "it happened in this thing".

  • Keep This article needs clean-up, trimming and sourcing, but there are a number of secondary sources available both on individual entries appearing, and appearances in fiction more broadly. Enough so that a non-stubby article could be created, so I don't see the problem with notability. So this article should be improved rather than deleted in accordance with WP:AtD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daranios (talk • contribs) 09:29, July 18, 2022 (UTC)
    • And in addition, the Encylopedie des Märchens [encyclopedia of the fairy tale], p. 305-309, has a chapter dedicated to tarring and feathering, focussing mainly on folk tales/fairy tales/droll stories, but also includes the literature and comics we have here. If the notability issue should hinge on the title "popular culture" as opposed to "in fiction", why are leading a deletion discussion here rather than a what's-the-best-name-for-the-topic-discussion? So far for notability. As for WP:TNT, quite obviously not all of the article's content is useless, as some of it (with this being just one example) is discussed in secondary source in would appear in a "good" article or article section on the topic. So the "TNT tipping point argument" does not apply. Daranios (talk) 10:57, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • "Theoretically, this could be fixed" is a rather useless observation if nobody actually fixes it. Considering that you made the same argument more than a year ago during the previous AfD and the article still hasn't been fixed—by you or anybody else—it rings rather hollow. I'm all in favour of turning garbage TV Tropes-style lists like this into into proper prose articles about the topic when they are brought to AfD—I have done so myself multiple times in the past, see e.g. WP:Articles for deletion/Eco-terrorism in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Earth in science fiction (2nd nomination), WP:Articles for deletion/Space stations and habitats in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Supernovae in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Neptune in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Genies in popular culture (2nd nomination), WP:Articles for deletion/Battle of Thermopylae in popular culture, and WP:Articles for deletion/Loch Ness Monster in popular culture (2nd nomination). If you've looked at the sources and think you could write a decent article based on them, then do that. You have talked the talk—will you now walk the walk? I'm sure you mean well, but Piotrus is right: what you are doing is worse than useless, it's actively counterproductive to actually creating a decent article on this topic. TompaDompa (talk) 14:56, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • @TompaDompa: Nobody's working on it is an argument that should be avoided in a deletion discussion. If we were to delete all imperfect articles, there would be no Wikipedia (though, granted, this one is rather far from perfect). The obligation to improve an improvable article is not on anyone specifically. If it were, shouldn't it be first and foremost on those most distressed with the current state, i.e. the deletion !voters, in case it becomes clear that it is improvable? Your record of constructive work on Wikipedia is beyond question. I would work on this article if I had unlimited time. I like to believe that I am doing constructive work here, too, in the limited time I have, and whenever I am not caught up in deletion discussions. Sometimes on articles nominated for deletion in the past, sometimes on ones nominated now, sometimes somewhere else. Why should I specifically spend my time here and not there? Nominating an article for deletion is easy. Improving an article is quite a bit of work. If I !vote keep again at another deletion discussion, should I improve that, too? Should I abstain from deletion discussions because I am not personally improving all articles nominated for deletion? That doesn't feel right. Daranios (talk) 15:25, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          • Keeping a garbage (not just "imperfect") version of an article like this does not get us any closer to having a decent version of that article—if I were rewriting this to get it up to snuff, I would not keep any of the current content—but deleting the page so we may WP:STARTOVER actually might. If you want there to be a decent article on this topic, you should either be in favour of deleting it and starting over from scratch or rewriting it from scratch without deletion. Arguing that it should be kept because it could theoretically be improved, when that demonstrably hasn't worked, is not constructive. TompaDompa (talk) 15:38, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
            • @TompaDompa: You are entitled to that opinion, which I don't share. The existence of this article in no way hinders anyone to create a better version from scratch if they like and don't want to use elements of the existing one. Would it change your opinion for the future if I were to "walk the walk" in this case? Daranios (talk) 18:34, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
              • It would demonstrate that you are willing and able to rewrite TV Tropes-style lists to proper prose articles about the topic, which would be a good thing since there is a dearth of editors who do so (the only ones I know of who somewhat regularly do so are Piotrus and myself). I'm not asking you to write a 10,000-word, 100-reference WP:Featured article—when the AfD for Earth in science fiction closed, it looked like this (the rest of the expansion and improvement to WP:Good article status was done by Piotrus later), and when the AfD for Eco-terrorism in fiction was closed it looked like this (I have expanded it slightly since). Removing the garbage and writing a short stub is a major improvement and doesn't take that much work if you have already located the necessary sources. TompaDompa (talk) 15:26, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
                • @TompaDompa: I'll do that as time permits. I am curious how much of the current entries will remain. Daranios (talk) 07:12, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
                @TompaDompa I do believe User:Uncle G has done nice rescues and rewrites in the past. Just saying. Feel free to point to others. Maybe we can form a proper ARS project :P --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:01, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
                Right. The author of WP:CARGO also being someone who does that makes perfect sense. Still, it would be nice if more editors would do this. TompaDompa (talk) 12:31, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I disagree. When 99% if not 100% of existing content violates OR/MOS:POPCULT/etc., TNT is the solution. Granted, second to the total rewrite. But keeping a list of trivia b/c a related topic might be written from scratch is bad. Most editors who'd like to help won't bother, as they are afraid to delete the existing garbage. We need to provide them with the clean slate. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:31, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Excessive pop culture trivia, sources brought up in this discussion & previous AFDs don't demonstrate notability as a standalone topic, the few good sources brought up by nom could be incorporated into the main article for Tarring and feathering, but I don't think anything from this article is worth merging.

  • Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they didn't win — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one and losing. A candidate needs to either show that he had preexisting notability for other reasons besides unsuccessful candidacies, or that he has a credible claim to his candidacy being a special case of greater and more enduring significance than everybody else's candidacies, but this demonstrates neither of those things. No prejudice against restoration of a redirect from the redlink afterward, but the article should be deleted first since there's no value in retaining it in the edit history.

  • Delete the sourcing is not enough to demonstrate notabiluity. Someone who gets less than 0.5% of the vote really needs good sourcing to show notability, and we do not have that here. In fact even people who come close to winning in the type of elections he was in are almost never notable for that, someone getting so few votes not really. The claim that he was crucial to the outcome is not actually supported by most sources on the election in question, most such sources argue other factors were way more important.

Gisèle Lagacé (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The sources in the Ménage à 3 are pretty bad, consisting of an interview, a myriad of self-published blogs (one has an obvious pseudonym for the writer, one has a Wordpress domain) or otherwise unreliable-looking sites, and the comic itself. Regarding the comic's creator, her page is cited mostly to her own works, to the sites of non-notable awards she's won, or to articles about works she collaborated on which only mention her in passing. Most of her other works are redlinked.

I was unable to find any better sources in a WP:BEFORE for either the comic or its creator. Most of what I found was again, unreliable sources or superficial mentions. The Joe Shuster award may be more notable than certain other webcomic awards, but it alone is not sufficient for WP:GNG or WP:NWEB in the absence of more substantial sourcing.

  • Keep, but the article needs a substantial rewrite. The Comics Alliance source is reliable and substantial (as discussed by the Wikiproject for Webcomics); the Joe Shuster Award is reliable and meets the criteria in Notability (web) = "The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization. Ideally, this award itself is also notable and already has a Wikipedia article." To me, this is enough to meet the standard for notability. However, the article is a mess – the statement in the header that it "is consistently rated amongst the top 50 webcomics annually" is in no way true – so if this article is kept I will strip is back to its most basic sourced form.

  • Weak keep as I think Joe Shuster Award confers some notability. Borderline, since other cited sources are very niche, and I was not impressed by the (removed) claim that "Ménage à 3 is consistently rated amongst the top 50 webcomics annually" which was based on a 2008 article in ComixTALK which doesn't strike me as very reliable (niche website of unclear RS, analysis seems amateurish). Bottom line, if it didn't win JSA I'd vote delete. Winning the award, however, is a sign of some visibility and significance. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:39, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. There's plenty of keep votes, but this is probably very borderline. Still, I am, very weakly, going to go with weak keep. There's no hope for this to meet GNG, and the poor article will forever be a start/stub class article (the latter possible if the poorly refed parts are rm). All of the refs, except for Comics Alliance, which has a WP article, are SPS. Even Comics Alliance seems questionable. On one hand, it's notable (I assume so, I haven't checked the WP article on Comics Alliance's sources) enough to have an article, and it won an award. On the other hand, it looks unprofessional to me, and lacks any editorial policies. Also, how is this an RS? It's popular and high-profile, but doesn't have any editorial policies, and its FAQ says If you are a published comic artist, please mail us a short biography with a focus on your career in comics to Lambiek. Also include (links to) some samples of your published comics work. This doesn't seem reliable to me (where's the fact-checking and editorial policies)? So, GNG, or the first criteria of Notability (web) isn't meet. The second website says that the website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization. Ideally, this award itself is also notable and already has a Wikipedia article. That's probably the case Joe Shuster Award, which seems notable enough and has some refs. Is it very prominent? Probably not. But I guess it meets the "well-known" mark, and it's indepedent. On this basis, I think it saitsfies the second Notability (web) criteria and I support weak keep, but I also agree with Piotrus that if this didn't win the award, deletion would certainly be a better choice.

Fails WP:GNG. The result of the previous discussion was keep but most arguments boiled down to WP:LOTSOFSOURCES. I will address each of the sources cited both in the article and in that discussion:

  • Forbes: Published in the "contributors" (/sites) tab, thus unreliable per WP:FORBESCON.
  • The 961: Lebanese news website with unknown credibility or editorial oversight. The article itself is not thorough coverage of The Infographics Show but merely a piece criticizing it for the contents of one video.
  • Medium: Medium is a blog hosting service, a self-published source, unreliable per WP:MEDIUM.
  • Interesting Engineering: Appears to be a decently reliable source, but again, it covers only one video and is mostly trivial.
  • HiFi Public: Another obscure and sketchy website with no evidence of editorial oversight. Only trivially mentions the channel in a list of other YouTube channels.
  • Time Out: It's an actual magazine and thus reliable, but again, only mentions The Infographics Show rather briefly in an entire list.
  • Insider: Once again, a very brief and trivial mention.
  • Daily Collegian: Ditto. Mentions (or rather, simply name-drops) The Infographics Show literally once. As a student newspaper, it's marginally reliable.
  • Naibuzz: Another egregiously poor source, which is basically a CelebrityNetWorth page (which is an unreliable source) written in article format.
  • El Español: A legitimate newspaper, but again, makes a very short and trivial mention of The Infographics Show.
  • Gizmodo: Ditto. I'm feeling like a broken record.
  • We Are The Mighty: Yet another obscure website. The article itself is a glorified summary of a video.
  • Alt News: An apparently legit fact-checking website, but only mentions The Infographics Show at the very end, linking to one of their videos.

It appears editors who voted "keep" in the previous discussion simply put "The Infographics Show" on Google and copy and pasted random links, which is textbook LOTSOFSOURCES and a sloppy way to argue for keeping an article. If these trivial, obscure and sketchy sources is all they could find, one would be hard pressed to find anything better. There seems to be nothing notable about The Infographics Show.

  • Keep - I would agree that as far as notability goes, it's not the strongest article subject one could find. However I would argue that the notability is there. I do agree with a lot of DannyC55's analysis above, but not all of it. The InterestingEngineering site, for example, is not a trivial mention as defined by Wikipedia consensus, and falls squarely into significant coverage. As for sources like wearethemighty.com, believing that a source is obscure does not discount that source from being a reliable source. Time Out mentioning the channel briefly does not discount it as contributing to notability. Per WP:GNG: "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." The Time Out source meets that criteria. When also taking into consideration some of the sources in the first AfD such as this one, I think it does create enough notability to meet WP:GNG, but just barely. - Aoidh (talk) 01:25, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment - I agree that my assessment of Interesting Engineering and Time Out wasn't ideal; they do count as reliable sources and make non-trivial coverage, so I retract that part of my nomination. DannyC55 (Talk) 01:17, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think we need to have a discussion on notability and YouTube channels. The Infographics Show has over 11 million followers, that has to count for something.

  • Weak Delete mostly per nom. Article is borderline, and for such a popular channel, I was surprised by the niche coverage. Interesting Engineering might be one for GNG, and it has an about us page on editors, with the editor in chief having a magazine. The article is... okay at best. I don't agree with Time Out counting to GNG. Per AfC, it says, References about the subject — at least one lengthy paragraph, preferably more. This has three sentences and one in brackets, and is too short to me, so maybe counts as half? Others, including Alt News, Insider, Gizmodo, and so on, are RS, but only have one sentence, so is trivial. Trecebits is also probably too short to count to GNG. I agree that other refs (Forbes contributors and other niche websites) are not reliable, so I am leaning weak delete. I don't think the YouTuber channel subs count mean much, sure, 11 million is an achievement, but the Notability (company) says that Views, hits, likes, shares have no bearing as establishing whether the coverage is significant.

  • Weak Delete per nom and Piotrus. Ref 1 can't be opened, ref 2 says is a press release and is barely SIGCOV, plus CBR is marginally reliable to me, either way, it's difficult for that to meet GNG. Ref 3 is a blog, so isn't an RS. The final ref is a is an award, with a borderline notable article (that survived 4 AfDs) citing (mostly trivial, but just with barely notable) mentions, I'm not sure if it's notable for Poe's webcomic, but note this AfD is on Poe, not the webcomic. As notability isn't inherited, and the award doesn't count towards significant coverage for the webcomic creator. Ref 2 and 4 probably has some good info (but aren't significant), but there isn't any related topics to merge to, so I support deletion. VickKiang (talk) 01:06, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The article does not feature any of the 14 reasons for deletion. While it does need more citations (it currently only has one), a lack of sources on the current version of the article is not justification for its deletion; sources only need to exist somewhere - it's our job as editors to add them, not delete the article where they belong instead of adding them. See WP:BEFORE regarding these points, in particular Section C, item 1: "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD." None of the points raised is unfixable through normal editing. I am phrasing it a bit differently, but I am basically saying what kbabej described in more detail on your talk page regarding some of your other AfDs. (Incidentally, I disagree about the length of the article being an issue. We're talking about a 22-volume series of books that spawned two multi-season anime adaptations and a spin-off manga. The cast is large and well-developed, and there are many differences to be noted between the different versions of the series. The writing could be tuned up, but our bias here should be toward inclusion [when something is worthy thereof] rather than making articles so short they could be read in milliseconds.) Edited to clarify: the citations that I was referring to include press releases such as [30] and [31], reviews like [32], and of course the books/manga/anime themselves. These are the standard types of materials for references on list-of-characters pages (see List of Naruto characters, List of Cardcaptor Sakura characters, and List of Fruits Basket characters). This discussion has already turned up five citations with quick online searches, and the Japanese article has two that could be ported over as well - all of which an editor could and should have included in the article in the first place rather than jumping to deletion. It's more than a little frustrating to see a non-administrator who had never edited this article first PROD'ing it, then deleting it unilaterally after the PROD was removed, and finally responding to its restoration with an AfD instead of putting in the work to improve it. WP:ONUS assumes that the editor nominating an article for deletion has met their responsibilities under WP:PRESERVE, which include adding citations. However, even before that: WP:BEFORE supercedes WP:ONUS in this case. Per WP:BEFORE, this article should not have been AfD'ed. (I would remove the AfD myself, but I think my role in the earlier PROD/restoration of the article might make me involved as per WP:CLOSEAFD even though I have never edited this article before and only came across the PROD because I was looking up some information about a Saiunkoku character the other day.) Whether or not anyone voting here feels that the article could be condensed and moved into the main Saiunkoku page is irrelevant, because the standard for opening an AfD has not been met. Speaking of, this page was originally part of The Story of Saiunkoku page - SorryNotSorry seems to have created the page by culling material from The Story of Saiunkoku back in 2006, since which time dozens of editors have worked on the article. We're all editors, so we want to tinker, but if you're going to say it should be moved back into The Story of Saiunkoku, please provide a reason for why we should ignore the fact that it was moved to its own page in the first place. Lists of characters pages are common (see Category:Lists of anime and manga characters for more) and exist for a reason. This particular page is neither in unusually bad shape nor unusually short (or long) for the category, and the editor who nominated it for deletion did not attempt to fix the citation issue prior to nomination as they were supposed to. You don't have to think that every single page on Wikipedia ought to be there, but once it is, we need to meet the guidelines in WP:BEFORE prior to considering a deletion.Soraciel (talk) 23:32, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I don't see why this can't be condensed to a plot summary with mention of the main characters at The Story of Saiunkoku. As for sources I have only found the primary ones used on the official websites: [33], [34] which can be used to help the main article. Unless there are reviews out there for these characters then I don't see why we need a separate list (I wish I can be proven wrong here). The WP:ONUS is on those who want this kept to find the sources needed, I am not even seeing anything over at ja:wiki [35]. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:15, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I studied the sole Keep suggestion carefully but all I see are lengthy and elaborate arguments invoking policies and guidelines without a specific connection to the article. When all is said and done, we do not have sources supporting independent notability. Let's generously place a Redirect here to The Story of Saiunkoku. -The Gnome (talk) 19:48, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Would you mind explaining further? Specifically, what kind of source are you looking for, or alternatively, which parts of the three pages that you linked are you referring to? I had already linked part of the WP:V page that you linked to the word "supporting" - are you trying to respond to my point?
    Also: I explicitly wrote about the article, but it is buried in the middle there - I had linked three potential sources (from a major anime news organization, MTV, and an anime publisher, so, meeting the guidelines you linked), noted that the Saiunkoku novels, anime, and manga all constitute potential sources, and discussed the page's length and history. I cited policies specifically to back up my argument that this article shouldn't have been AfD'd in the first place. Do you have an argument for why it should be? Lack of citations on the page as it is currently written does not constitute a reason to delete the page, only a reason to improve it. That said, though I'm not sure why the earlier sources I listed are being discounted, let me give it another go with a more diverse batch of sources that all meet Wikipedia's guidelines:
    Those last four are particularly good for quotable phrases about specific characters. A few examples:
    • Re: Shoka Hong: "the more ruthless personality behind his smiling exterior. While he’s an amazingly gentle and wonderful father, his past as an assassin gives a bit of an edge to all of his actions in the manga" (from the Manga Bookshelf review)
    • Re: Kokujun Sa: "milquetoast" and "neurotic guilt feelings and singular lack of ambition" (both from the T.H.E.M. Anime Review)
    • Re: Ryuki Shi: "openly bisexual love interest" (from the Anime Feminist recommendation)
    That's just what I turned up with another quick search, so I say again: it's disruptive to AfD something without trying to fix it first, and that sort of AfD should be summarily dismissed. If someone doesn't care enough about the topic to spend a minute Googling it, how can they begin to guess at its notability? Soraciel (talk) 23:48, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    There are three potential sources that can be used there if the reviewers focus in on the characters and their development. My guess is that this would be for the main characters rather than listing every character that ever appeared in the series. YouTube is not a reliable source unless the channel is official (see: WP:YOUTUBE-EL), and the other sources you mentioned are inline "Cite your sources in the form of an inline citation after the phrase, sentence, or paragraph in question". - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:20, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that inline citations would be best - that's what's been done on the other list of characters-style pages. Those pages also cite relevant chapters/episodes and articles like the Anime News Network one about the voice actor, which it sounds like you don't think should be used. Am I reading you right there, or was that an oversight? The voice actors are the one big out-of-universe aspect of the page as it currently stands, so it doesn't seem like you'd argue against citing them. (FWIW, there isn't really an introduction on this page either, and those are pretty standard for list-of-characters pages. Adding one is easy and would address the in-universe critique.)
    I've never linked a Youtube video, so thank you for directing me to that page. That link was actually to a video version of a podcast episode - would the podcast itself work? It's unclear to me what y'all's expectations are for notability here. List of Naruto characters, a featured list that I linked above, has entries about minor characters and entries that only cite manga chapters and a voice actor (see Chiyo's entry for an example of both). It doesn't seem like anyone has tried to add such citations to this article.
    That said, I agree that whether any given character currently listed on the page should stay is something that could be debated, but that's not what's under debate here. The only question being asked through this process is "do we delete the page?" Had the current editorial debate begun with someone suggesting the removal of a few targeted characters on the talk page, I would never have even gotten involved. It's the jump from never having edited the page to repeatedly attempting to delete it - and even actually deleting it despite not having the administrative authority to do so when the first PROD failed - coupled with the use of dismissive and pejorative terms to describe the article and its editors that I strenuously object to. This isn't neutral.
    (Actually, you prompted me to look at the talk page, and the only discussion of specific characters' appropriateness for this page relates to adding Shurei Hong, Seiran Si, and Ryuki Shi to this page in exchange for deleting their old independent pages.)
    ETA: Thought that it might be worth linking WP:NNC (specific guideline: "The notability guidelines do not apply to contents of articles or lists (with the exception of lists that restrict inclusion to notable items or people)"). Soraciel (talk) 14:11, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    While I appreciate your passion, the fact is, even if this article were to pass AfD, it would still require extensive editing to meet current WP standards. As it stands, it is essentially a retelling of the manga, which makes it WP:DERIVATIVE. The whole thing is written from an in-universe perspective, which is a problem per WP:WAF. I shouldn't be able to read the article and feel I have basically read the manga and right now, that's where it is. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 03:20, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, no one has said it doesn't need editing. Rather, it's tagged to prompt us to edit it. That's what tags exist for. The AfD process, on the other hand, is not for articles that need editing - see the sentence "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD." in the "Before Nominating" section of the guide to the AfD process.
    If a page's bad editing is bothering you, please do fix it! It's just that "fixing it" means searching out and adding citations, revising text - such as by adding an out-of-universe introduction - and otherwise editing the article. You wrote on your talk page that you "look at [your PRODs & AfDs of articles that you haven't edited] as a way of saying, 'OK, WP, time to put up or shut up. Either whip this article into shape or let go of it.'" But, you aren't in charge of other editors! Strong-arm tactics like that force other editors to spend time on articles that you prioritize over articles that we prioritize! That's part of why so many people have reverted your edits and commented on your talk page - you're disrupting other work when you could just do the work you want to see on your own or - if you don't feel you have the relevant expertise - try to get capable editors involved by adding the page to relevant WikiProjects. You can do a lot on Wikipedia, but you are only in control of your own actions.
    I mainly do minor grammar fixes (usually so small I don't even bother to log in), but when I do more substantial editing, I focus on articles about Japanese and Asian cultures, prominent women, women's issues, and cultural works by and for women and girls. I'm fluent in Japanese and have access to a lot of good printed sources on these subjects in multiple languages. This page is right up my alley. That doesn't mean that this page is my highest priority. All of those articles I just linked? They need more attention. I don't have a ton of free time, so I prioritize my editing based on my knowledge of the relevant fields and what is topical at any given time. Your judgment of how I should use my time should not supersede mine, but by pushing over and over for a deletion, you've forced me to find time to do basic research on a page that you might find to be a priority, but I do not. Really basic research - Anime News Network is the major English-language news organization, and Funimation is one of the biggest Anglophone publishers. Lists of characters pages often lack citations, in part because most of the citations seem to end up being different chapters or episodes... when characters' text is cited at all, which it often isn't. (Again see the featured list, List of Naruto Characters for examples of what I mean.)
    Citation and phrasing standards mean nothing if we simply ignore anything whose page fails them instead of improving it.
And as long as I'm editing my response above, I'll add that the point of WP:Derivative is to guard against plagiarism (which this article is definitely not) by encouraging fair use (Mt. Holyoke College has fairly straightforward chart that I've directed my students to in the past to help them determine whether their research papers contain plagiarism. That's why WP:Derivative is part of a page on copyright, not the notability page. If you're still concerned, be aware that even the lengthiest, most in-universe summary of a character's narrative arc imaginable would still constitute fair use so long as the author's phrasing was not paraphrased, the summary was part of a larger work (a massive encyclopedia, for example), the work was transformative (perhaps by turning a fictional story into a reference work), and the usage would likely lead to little lost income - or possible earned income - by the author (perhaps because it guided readers toward publishers of the anime by linking them on the same page).Soraciel (talk) 15:27, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to The_Story_of_Saiunkoku#Plot or draftify. The list is unreferenced WP:FANCRUFT that fails WP:V, on the other hand, such lists are common and frankly I think we should have a community-wide RfC on notability criteria for lists of characters from various media. A list of characters should be present in the main article (The_Story_of_Saiunkoku does not have one). I cannot recommend a merge due to zero references, but if an attempt to add references would be made, I could reconsider my vote. If no attemp tto actually improve the article is made, I think a redirect, preserving the content for someone who will attempt to reference things, is a fair compromise. For anyone who wants to improve this, I'd suggest starting a referenced list of characters in the artice.

  • Comment Per WP:PLOTSOURCE no sources are required for plot and character summaries because it is assumed the source is the work itself. These articles are usually created because a series has so many important characters it would be WP:UNDUE to list them all in the main article (in that it takes too much of the article size). I won't give an opinion though because I don't know which characters in this series are important.

  • Delete. Yes, she was briefly mentioned in a number of sources. But there is no in-depth coverage anywhere. She seems to fail WP:BASIC ("trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability" - that is about her). Also fails WP:CREATIVE. She seems to be "notable" only for making inflammatory comments and posts. For example, "Rania Khalek, frequently hosted as a commentator on Sputnik and RT, the latter identifying her as a contributor" [36] is not in-depth coverage, although that does define her as a Kremlin's propagandist. My very best wishes (talk) 16:00, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There are plenty of sources which mention her, but almost no sources that are about her, or at least nothing that you wouldn't find for any journalist. I think the piece about Ilhan Omar retweeting her might qualify for establishing notability but really only that one, and only barely. Loki (talk) 21:26, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The subject is a notable journalist who has worked with and interviewed numerous important figures such as anti-Putin/anti-Soviet scholar and dissident Boris Kagarlitsky, journalist and editor Robert Wright, scholar and senior fellow at the Quincy Institute Anatol Lieven, journalist/commentator Chris Hedges, etc. She is one of a very few independent journalists to have reported on Syria during the civil war (and who is fluent in Arabic, at that), as well as covering a wide range of other subjects: current events, US and international politics, labour politics, etc. She operates mainly on electronic media, with podcasts that have thousands of viewers, her own blog Dispatches from the Underclass, and with a Twitter account that has a quarter of million followers. She was an associate editor at the Electronic Intifada and co-hosts the podcast Unauthorized Disclosure. Her work has appeared at Al Jazeera, The Nation, Salon, Truthout, FAIR, Vice, AlterNet, etc. These are all prominent mainstream or progressive media outlets. She has been referenced by news outlets such as Democracy Now! and by online political commentators. It's absurd to claim she isn't notable. There are plenty of less notable subjects that have articles in WP, and so they should. Furthermore, the reasons cited in support of her article in the last Article for Deletion (21 March 2019) remain true and, of course, she has produced three more years of work since that discussion, thereby increasing her notability. Pinkville (talk) 22:01, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Im sorry, but where does worked with and interviews numerous important figures figure at all in WP:N? This is purely a WP:INHERITED !vote, claiming that by relationship to notable topics one is made notable. No, notability rests on the coverage of the subject, not coverage by the subject of notable topics. The only source I can find that gives any real coverage of Khalek is an interview she gave to Stepfeed, but thats it, and an interview isnt exactly a secondary source to demonstrate notability. Thats the only thing resembling a reliable source that covers Khalek in any depth at all. nableezy - 02:06, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    You need to provide sources which discuss her rather than sources she may have been associated with.

Volunteer Marek 04:05, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    A fundamental problem with this disingenuous AfD is that those people who want to delete are judging her notability solely on the flimsy, negative sources that are currently in the article - and because of this whole wasteful discussion involving edit warring and cynical reinsertions of dubious content that needs at least to be discussed, there has been no time for anyone to actually write the article with content that demonstrates her notability. This exercise so far is a bitter farce. Nableezy, notability by association is actually how notability always works - publication in notable venues establishes the notability of the creator - notability is, by definition, contingent on association. She has collaborated with notable journalists and commentators, that adds to her notability. No one is notable on their own, that's a non sequitur. Also, you're looking for text coverage of Khalek - she operates mostly in non-print media - so you're going to have to listen to podcasts and news reports that reference her or interview her and transcribe that content. This is an ongoing problem in WP, which doesn't adequately draw from non-print sources. Pinkville (talk) 12:47, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Wait, what? notability by association is actually how notability always works - publication in notable venues establishes the notability? Uh, no, that is exactly not how notability works. What the actual heck, @Pinkville...I think maybe you need to go review notability policy. There is no notability inherent in being published in RS or in interviewing notable people. Notability comes from being discussed in RS. This is WP 101. You may need to do some policy review. Things have evolved around here. valereee (talk) 13:27, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Let's just say this wasn't my finest moment of writing - I'm well aware of WP's definition of notability, and I was veering off into grappling with the concept itself. You'll note I did make the point "No one is notable on their own" and highlighted the challenge in providing the necessary (in WP:Notability terms) coverage of Khalek that exists almost solely in non-print media. The latter points are precisely within the scope of WP notability policy. Pinkville (talk) 01:47, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    disingenous - not candid or sincere, dishonest, underhanded and deceitful. And you say that while saying the exact opposite thing that policy says. Notability is not something gained by association, how does an admin not know this? But since youre an admin, I assume you know that WP:NPA and WP:AGF are expectations of all editors, especially admins, and if that is the case maybe reconsider your language.nableezy - 13:40, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep . Coverage in secondary sources looks good, e.g. dedicated articles in Commentary (magazine) in 2016, Jerusalem Post (blog) in 2014 and 2015, StepFeed (English-language website addressing Arab and Muslim millennials) in 2017, Shadowproof in 2017. Her views are reported by CNN in 2019 (interviewed on Russian state-backed outlets and freedom of information), Washington Post in 2016 (Rania Khalek, 30, a journalist who has written critically of Clinton, said the Democrat poses a more direct threat to the Muslim world than Trump) and 2017 ("'We still don’t know exactly what happened in Syria and who was responsible,' far-left writer and commentator Rania Khalek wrote on Twitter"), Haaretz, Jerusalem Post (controversial journalist and activist), Al Jazeera (Bartlett, Beeley, Fisk and Khalek, for example, repeat the regime’s propaganda almost verbatim), HuffPo (A coterie of left-wing writers and activists, notably journalist Rania Khalek, have joined Gabbard in making this case), Foreign Policy (so-called independent journalists such as Max Blumenthal and Rania Khalek ... have even toured government-controlled regions of Syria to whitewash the scale of the atrocities). I might have missed something, but it seems to me that this suffices to satisfy WP:BASIC, as there's a significant coverage in multiple sources that are independent from the subject and actually often hostile to the subject. Moreover, within the political progressive and left-wing area there are so many citations, interviews, conferences (and cancelled conferences: see this open letter, signed by influential personalities, and see this report) , podcast shows (Unauthorized Disclosure, BreakThroughNews), articles in Electronic Intifada, Al Jazeera, The Nation, The Intercept, Salon, The Greyzone, Truthout, AlterNet, etc., that I suspect she might also pass the threshold of WP:AUTHOR as The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.

    • Didnt you call these sources “questionable” just, like, yesterday at the RfC? And pretty much everything starting with Salon and on isn’t reliable. The Nation is just a minuscule blurb. Volunteer Marek 04:02, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Seriously, am I the only one bothered by the fact that someone can show up to an RfC and be all like “these sources are not reliable!” and then come to AfD and be all like “these reliable sources show she’s notable!” when it’s exactly the same sources? Volunteer Marek 06:06, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I am also bothered, but for the reason that they are unreliable and shouldnt be used, and certainly do not establish notability even if they were reliable. None of them provide any in depth coverage of Khalek. nableezy - 06:19, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Volunteer Marek. Washington Post, CNN, Jerusalem Post, etc., are perfectly reliable sources. The "problem" with them is that we cannot rely upon them to support the claim that she is pro-Kremlin and pro-Assad: that's not what they say. But they show, together with other sources that belong to her political area, that she's notable.
    @Levivich. Here notability results not so much from the depth of coverage in a couple of sources but from the combination of multiple independent sources (as per WP:BASIC) and by the extent and influence of her activities within a given political area (which make her an WP:AUTHOR). If I were two choose my two favourite secondary sources they would probably be the articles in The Conversation and CNN, but I think that an overall assessment of her work as journalist and editor (as made here above by Pinkville) is probably more relevant. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 07:59, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Please read WP:AUTHOR and tell us which requirement is satisfied. She is not widely cited, she has not created significant new concept, theory, or technique, she has not played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work that has been the subject subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, and finally her work has not (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. So what in WP:AUTHOR is met here? What source discusses her in any depth whatsoever? Assuming you mean Commentary and not Conversation, that piece is opinion, and while Jonathan Marks is certainly a reliable source on some topics, he has no publishing record on the topics of Israel, Palestine, Syria, the modern Middle East, and as such his opinion is not suitable for inclusion as a reliable source. Additionally, it is a publication of the American Jewish Committee, an avowedly pro-Zionist organization, and the idea that the political opponents of an activist are the ones that we should be basing our biography of them on is just absurd. nableezy - 08:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps we shouldn't be basing our biography on them, as you say, but they are good enough for determining notability: why not? Someone may be notable for the amount and quality of criticisms they've been subjected to. Re WP:AUTHOR, my answer is "first requirement". She's widely cited, in her area and also elsewhere. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 12:19, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    What work of hers has been widely cited? This isnt a place where proof by assertion is a valid argument. nableezy - 14:00, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm sorry, @Nableezy:I had missed your question until now. When I say that she is widely cited, I don't mean that a given work of her is widely cited as such. As it is often the case with journalists, what is cited are her views and her reports, her statements of opinion and statements of fact, usually quoted by attributing them to the author (e.g., "Khalek said") rather than by attributing them to a determinate work of her (e.g., "As the article 'Whatever' by Khalek reported"). It seems to me that being quoted as an author by Washington Post, CNN, Haaretz, HuffPo, etc., suffices to make you a WP:AUTHOR. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 08:39, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Well if we are using words in ways other than their meanings then sure. But that isnt what cited means for an author. nableezy - 10:18, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Gitz6666, being called an author by RS is, yes, enough for us to describe someone that way. It is not enough to get them over the hump of notability as an author, which is what WP:AUTHOR is about. valereee (talk) 14:38, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the subject is notable WP:BASIC is met. A group of editors can get together to say otherwise, but the subject is much more than WP:BARE. I agree with Pinkville, "It's absurd to claim she isn't notable." Lightburst (talk) 23:57, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lean keep: Subject potentially meets WP:BASIC based on breadth of coverage - we have multiple independent sources and there is clearly enough information to write an article on Khalek - the case seems similar to that of Max Blumenthal, as Foreign Policy notes: another controversial journalist nevertheless cited by reliable sources such as WaPo to provide balance. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:31, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The entirety of the coverage of Khalek in the FP piece is the single sentence Most recently, so-called independent journalists such as Max Blumenthal and Rania Khalek—both of whom have received funds from Assad regime lobby groups—have even toured government-controlled regions of Syria to whitewash the scale of the atrocities. People are just asserting "breadth of coverage" and it simply does not exist. This is not much off from Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/David_Collier_(political_activist). There is 0 coverage of Khalek, and people are just blustering as though there is. I hope the closer takes into account that nobody has been able to actually provide this supposedly in depth coverage anywhere. nableezy - 08:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I was looking specifically at the line in WP:BASIC that reads: If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability. Now the multiple independent sources are definitely there. Khalek is a very widely published journalist. Her views may be a little or even a lot batty, but her media presence is broad. The only question is whether absolutely all of the mentions are too trivial. Iskandar323 (talk) 08:50, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Worth noting that the previous discussion was a pretty strong keep, and may contain more sources than those currently present this time around. Iskandar323 (talk) 08:51, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
At the very least, the al Bawaba story, though not the best of sources, is entirely about Rania Khalek, and the coverage is certainly non-trivial. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:18, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
BLPs require the best of sources, but yes that one is not trivial. nableezy - 13:59, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This article is a good example of precisely why passing mentions are not usually enough to pass the WP:GNG; it is extremely difficult to write a neutral or comprehensive article about someone when coverage is so sparse. The history of this article is basically editors arguing endlessly over how to interpret brief single-sentence references to the subject with little elaboration in the sources, and the answer is that if that is all we have to go on then we probably shouldn't have an article at all. --Aquillion (talk) 10:12, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Bobby Davro Deletenot a hoax it does appear to be a hoax, and possibly spread as a result of the WP article. A search for Bobby Davro brought up the following sources (which fail GNG but corroborate with each other that the show existed): Express UK, The Daily Mail...In the 1990s, he switched to BBC, with shows like Public Enemy Number One and talent show, The Heat Is On. And Garston-Entertainment UK He then went on to many Televison appearances and TV shows like On the Box, Sketch Pad, The Heat is on & Run the Risk. He has agents mentioning the show, Tony Denton Promotions, and Laughter UK, Central Fife Times - but nothing that spells N-O-T-A-B-L-E. There are probably mentions of the show in TV listings back in the 90s that can be found in the UK's newspaper archives which may verify that the show existed.

The mentions in Express and Daily Mail, both generally unreliable sources, are undoubtedly WP:CITOGENESIS. It isn't surprising that the intern or whoever at the talent agency tasked with writing up the blurb just cribbed from either Wikipedia or those articles. While it was supposedly a BBC show, it does not have a BBC programme ID and can't be found on their websites. There isn't a single mention of the show in any television database or reliable source. gobonobo + c 04:03, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:CITOGENISIS is the mainstay of online news media, with the exception of few, but it's referred to more often as PR wire. I am well aware that the sources I used are not RS for substantiating N or any fact-based news but CONTEXTMATTERS, and we're talking about a failed TV talent contest type of show. The other arguments here relative to it not being listed in the BBC lineup proves nothing. A better way to ascertain whether or not a TV show/series existed, is to look it up in a TV guide in local newspapers that are dated during the time the show presumably aired. I don't have access to a British newspaper archive that published a British TV guide, but if you're dependent only on its absence in a Google search, or in a Wikidata search for online BBC info, then I'm not convinced it didn't exist. REDIRECTs are cheap, and if someone is able to find that listing in a 1990's TV guide, it spares WP the embarrassment of further confirming it is an unreliable source, or that some of its editors failed due diligence. Atsme 💬 📧 10:29, 19 July 2022 (UTC) Update 12:16, 19 July 2022 (UTC) I requested verification from the talent agents listed for Bobby Davro and also contacted TV Guide UK for verification. If any of those sources cannot verify, I'm not certain if deletion in lieu of a redirect is the correct route. We know there are unreliable sources on the internet that mention the show, probably because of the WP stub, and that's why it may be better to go with the redirect to Bobby Devro which does not list that show. Perhaps it would prove helpful to our readers to add a short paragraph mentioning that it was a circular reference or something along that line, and hashtag the redirect, or use an anchor for a disclaimer.

  • Update: As of July 23, 2022 - not one reply from the agents I emailed. There is so much information on the internet that simply cannot be trusted, and that includes pretty much all of it, leaving us little to choose from beyond peer reviewed scientific journals...but even then, we have to be on the look-out. m( Atsme 💬 📧 11:58, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Lol, time for {{R from possible hoax}}? Interesting that his own agents mention the show, and it gave me pause, but The 90s saw Bobby switching channels to the BBC, appearing on television shows such as Public Enemy Number One and the talent show The Heat Is On. (from his agents) seems copied verbatim the old Davro article--see this Wikipedia clone for example. Hopefully he or his agents will respond with conclusive evidence. Ovinus (talk) 17:52, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It could've been a PR wire that everybody used. Redirects are cheap, and they give us an opportunity to provide our readers with correct information, provided my email requests pan out. There was a reason the admin rejected the speedy nom, and that is what raised a red flag for me. I know little to nothing about British TV, but it's obvious the sources suck out loud. So, what are our options? Some of our readers will see those crappy sources (and don't know they're crappy), and believe them. But then, WP's BLP on Bobby doesn't list that show. If there's a chance the show existed back in the 90s, and a reader did see it, then WP loses credibility, not the crappy sources. It's also possible that it is a hoax that grew from WP & caused this dilemma. If I don't get a response from the 2 sources I contacted, then delete is the obvious way to go but I wouldn't add it to any hoax list until it's confirmed as such, especially if it originated in 2005 as a WP hoax, and remained in circulation for 17 years. Talk about chipping away at our credibility...wow! Atsme 💬 📧 18:25, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Could also tweet at Davro himself; he's apparently quite active on Twitter. But yes, declining the speedy was a good call, and that seems to be common practice for even moderately ambiguous cases. Ovinus (talk) 18:50, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I tried it and got nothing. Many celebs have PR folks and/or agents watching/responding on social media sites for them, so it's rare that the celeb him/herself will actually respond. Atsme 💬 📧 12:03, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Except it most certainly is a hoax… the agent’s website is a copy-and-paste of an older version of Davro’s Wikipedia article, which, of course, linked back to the hoax article. Took me 15 seconds and 4 clicks to establish that. — TREY MATURIN has spoken 05:33, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I disagree at this point in time that this is a hoax. Your research is flawed, and unconvincing to this editor, who happens to be a retired television producer, that it is a complete hoax. Find the British TV guides for that time period - check local newspapers before hanging the "hoax" tag on it. If it were a hoax, it could've been a speedy, and yet, here we are at AfD. Atsme 💬 📧 10:37, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    A search of the BBC Genome Project shows that there was an endurance contest reality series of the same name shown in August and September 2001, long after this alleged 1990–94 series (which does not show up at all). There was also a programme on global warming called Environment: The Heat is On, aired in 1991.
    So yes, the article here is certainly a hoax. Case closed. 00sClassicGamerFan (talk) 10:53, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have checked the British newspapers available via ProQuest, Newspapers.com, Gale, etc., and there really is nothing. Here's a representative TV guide from 1992—it mentions Davro's role in Public Enemy Number One, but this show is not listed. The same was true in all the many other papers I checked. I tend to be pretty reluctant to label things hoaxes, but it's the only explanation here... Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:22, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I do think this is a hoax. The original version made all sorts of extravagant claims about winning a BAFTA and "cocaine-fuelled prostitute orgies"—if any of that was true, this show would have attracted boatloads of press coverage, so the fact that there's nothing in any of the contemporaneous sources available via ProQuest, Newspapers.com, or elsewhere on the Internet makes it clear that we're dealing with a hoax. The post-2005 mentions are interesting, but they're all from dubious sources that likely aren't even enough to satisfy WP:V, which is a deal-breaker. (Put another way, there's a reason that we don't trust the Express and the Daily Mail, and it's that they have a reputation for doing things like getting their information off of Wikipedia.) I am of course glad to reconsider if reliable pre-2005 sources can be found, but that seems very unlikely indeed. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:25, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note also that an IP on the same range as the one who created this article added more obvious nonsense about The Heat is On here. This article was clearly not a good-faith contribution. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:42, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/begrudgingly move to WP:HOAXLIST. Clearly a hoax—albeit an impressively long-lived one—especially when you consider where it does appear in sources. Always either straight from Wikipedia or with so little context that it's clear this article was used. The first edits to the page, as mentioned by Extraordinary Writ, don't help its case. With an old hoax like this one it's going to be forever ingrained in the Internet in some form. Ovinus (talk) 05:43, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It happens.... This article is definitely a lesson to how vigilant and skeptical we need to be. I wouldn't have questioned it had I come across it organically. Ovinus (talk) 05:52, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It's possible that The Scotsman may be a quality newspaper but the cited (and only) source is neither reliable nor does it confer notability. The mention of The Heat Is On is the briefest of all fleeting mentions, and being based on an interview with Les Dennis it has nothing to do with this TV series whatsoever and the mention of could even be an error of memory. If a 1994 show existed then there would be a mention of it somewhere on the Internet and in the BBC archives. The only mention of a TV programme of the same name is on IMDB about a 2001 reality show but although there is a full list of cast and production team, there is no description of what the show actually was. So whether or not the article is a hoax, it certainly does not belong in Wikipedia. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:40, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Not dictionary, and I find only uses of the word. These uses aren't infrequent—obviously, people find it funny—but I didn't find anything about the word. The article gives the impression of an original research piece reporting on the prevalence of the word, a piece of the sort that needs to exist in reliable sources first so that Wikipedia can draw on them. Largoplazo (talk) 03:10, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The editor who removed the PROD tag that had been placed on the article observed that the number of incoming links could suggest the notability of the subject. But those incoming links were coming from a single navigation template at the bottom of those articles, Template:Mad magazine. So it's a case of the tail wagging the dog: presumably, someone added the link to the template because the article existed. Largoplazo (talk) 03:13, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
