Biography of a living person that does not satisfy general notability or political notability. The one reference states that he was elected mayor of the town. It is a reliable source, but is not an independent source, and does not provide significant coverage. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:52, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I added an independent source regarding the elected individual. GrayEquinox951 (talk) 20:05, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete There are a couple of articles covering a brief run for state assembly ([1], [2]), but he did not make it onto the ballot for the actual election. All other coverage appears local in nature. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:19, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Smalltown mayors are not automatically notable just because they exist as mayors, and one independent source that simply verifies the fact of their election as mayor is not sufficient coverage to get them in the door. Making a mayor notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia is not accomplished just by minimally verifying that they exist — it's accomplished by writing a substantive article sourced to a lot of reliable source coverage that deep dives into their political significance: specific things they did in the mayor's chair, specific projects they spearheaded, specific effects their mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But that's not what this article is. Bearcat (talk) 03:45, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tri Ta

Biography of a living person that does not satisfy general notability or political notability. The one reference states that he was elected mayor of the town. It is a reliable source, but is not an independent source, and does not provide significant coverage. Not much has changed since the previous article was deleted in 2007. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:47, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I added two more independent sources. GrayEquinox951 (talk) 23:47, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Since the original article was deleted, Ta was elected mayor. I found this article from VOA about his election and coverage about a failed recall election ([3], [4]) and current state assembly run ([5], [6]). - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:23, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep - article quality improved considerably, showing significant coverage from independent sources for the mayor of a mid-sized American city, notable for being the first Vietnamese-American elected mayor in the United States. DHN (talk) 01:17, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bad promotion to article space by User:Beland, who seems more intent on clearing out draft space than in checking the notability and suitability for mainspace of the promotion targets. The article has no sources and a search for various permutations of the title wording in Google Scholar found nothing usable as a source. If this were created in any other way I would draftify but that seems an inappropriate way to contest a promotion from draftspace. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:42, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I didn't find coverage in reliable sources. For anyone else trying to search, I think if sources exist they are more likely to mention smoothstep and probably wouldn't mention Schneider (whoever that is). Adumbrativus (talk) 04:17, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Among the "various permutations" in WP:BEFORE I did try a search for only the words "smoothstep" and "Schneider". No luck. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:55, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - yup, I'm cleaning up draft space so 1.) we don't lose good content after 6 months and 2.) so we don't have to keep dealing with the overhead of bad content being auto-deleted and then undeleted every 6 months just because it's on Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/List of math draft pages, which survived MFD. I figured that once this started getting attention, either people would find sources for it or it would get nominated for deletion. I leave it up to the math experts to determine which is better for this article. If any math experts want to go through the list and more expertly decide on the disposition of the various inactive articles in limbo, that would save me the trouble. -- Beland (talk) 05:12, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • That is a bad reason for promoting dubious content to mainspace. Just wait the six months and let it get deleted. You'll get your answer to whether it was important that way rather than by what you are doing, taking ownership of a mess and then forcing the rest of us to go through all this work to clean up a mess that is yours. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:43, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Like I said, at the end of the six months, these articles just get undeleted regardless of merit, because they are on the list. At some point people need to actually consider the merit of the topic. I'm glad that you are applying your expertise to help discern the best disposition for this content, but if you don't have the time or desire to do so, no one is forcing you to participate; you can just leave it up to other editors. I don't just mindlessly promote all the drafts on the list to article space; some of them I nominate for deletion, and then editors complain about doing that. If people complain that articles of uncertain value can't be auto-deleted after 6 months, can't be nominated for manual deletion, can't be promoted to article space, and no one ever looks at the drafts to discern their merit, then it seems someone is going to be unhappy no matter what happens to this content. -- Beland (talk) 17:16, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Stale drafts that have been deleted shouldn't be undeleted just because they had been listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/List of math draft pages. Instead, the links should be removed from that list. XOR'easter (talk) 15:52, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Mathematics-related deletion discussions. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:59, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The key issue is that the article has zero refs. My quick Google search didn’t yield any refs that we can use. (Of course, there can be offline refs, though) Unless there is a way to address the ref issue, the article needs to be gone. —- Taku (talk) 08:43, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm getting a thing made up one day vibe from this; searching for reasonable permutations of the topic name turned up nothing. XOR'easter (talk) 15:54, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as original research (to be fair using smoothstep to approximate sine or cosine is also discussed here and alluded to here, so maybe this could get a mention in the smoothstep article). The oldest version of the article literally states It was created by Taylor Schneider (February 18th, 2022), a twenty-first-century American Programmer. (Checking the page creator's ArtStation account on his userpage confirms that Taylor Schneider is indeed the creator.) Interesting idea though. Duckmather (talk) 17:44, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. At best, this is utterly not notable; at worst, this is WP:OR. The rationale provided above for moving a draft that has zero references to the Article namespace is absolutely bizarre to me. --Kinu t/c 21:22, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The page had already been deleted and blocked for recreation! Still the page has been recreated! Looks like a PR tactic or sock puppet — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imsaneikigai (talk • contribs) 11:27, July 24, 2022 (UTC)

  • Comment Discussion page was created without the {{afd2}} template and never transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now. @Imsaneikigai: For future AfD nominations, please fully follow the instructions at WP:AFDHOWTO. As for my own view, I'll note that Ankur Verma was salted after several previous incarnations of the article were speedily deleted, creators of those versions had been blocked for promotion and/or sockpuppetry, and that the creator of this version was blocked for socking subsequent to its creation (so no G5 speedy). Looking at the article at hand, a first pass through the given references seems to show a lot of unreliable sources, passing mentions, and general PR fluff, though I have no way of knowing how it compares to the deleted versions. Draft:Ankur Verma also exists from the same sockfarm. --Finngall talk 23:07, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Sorry for the late response! I will surely follow all the instructions in future. Since the page in the draft space Draft:Ankur Verma and Ankur Verma (TV Actor) appear to be more or less same, so shall we move the latter to draft space or shall we nominate it for speedy deletion under the section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. -—Imsaneikigai
@Imsaneikigai: No harm in leaving both versions in place for now, and the closing admin can make a recommendation with regard to the draft once the discussion on the mainspace version has concluded. --Finngall talk 21:06, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Just a comment for this relisting. The sockmaster here was not blocked when this article was created by the sockpuppet so CSD G5 is not possible since there was no ban evasion. Ankur Verma was previously deleted by speedy deletion, not through a previous AFD so please treat this discussion as a valid AFD and list reasons why this article should be deleted that have nothing to do with sockpuppetry. Thanks.

  • Keep Not sure what the definition of "significant" is, and don't think you should be the one to determine that, but given his credits for other projects, I think he is notable enough to have an article. Should there be more references? Yes, but that doesn't mean it should be deleted, it means more references should be added, which I'm sure can be found.

I agree completely with your sentiments regarding James Haven's page. I find this significant..."Since 2006, James has been the executive board director of Artivist, a Los Angeles festival that highlights movies, addressing human rights, animal rights, and environmental issues." Also, how many people achieve this distinction while still in school? "While at the University of Southern California, he received a George Lucas Award for a student film he directed starring his sister." This is also a significant achievement..."In 2005, Haven was the executive producer of the documentary Trudell, which chronicles the life and work of Santee Sioux musician and activist John Trudell. Trudell was an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival; it won the Special Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the Seattle International Film Festival." I think he's achieved a fair amount along with his acting/directing achievements. I feel his page should remain and be edited as his experience evolves.

OR essay, should probably be deleted and/or merged with Demographics of South Korea if there's anything worth salvaging. Ploni (talk) 16:49, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment of pros and cons:
    • On the pro side, the topic, on its face, is one that can merit coverage, even as a stand-along article. The article provides references, and it plausible to me that there would even more scholarship and discussion on the matter in Korea (the challenge for most non-Koreans wikipedians, is being able to read publications in Korean). The article also provides tables and graphs which is a nice complement to the text of the article. And I am inclined to believe that it was written in good faith; I think it was a university/academic contribution
    • On the con side, the writing is lacking; I agree it does feel like an essay. Some non-trivial amount of work would be needed to improve it.
  • I wish we could keep and improve it over deleting it, but I understand that the article as it exists is not apt for Wikipedia. I am pinging @Piotrus:@Finnusertop: who I believe had made attempts to improve this article and/or have an interest in this geography. Thank you. Al83tito (talk) 00:54, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This article could use further cleanup, but the nom has just presented an assertion that this is an an OR essay, without elaborating here nor on talk, IMHO that's a failure of WP:BEFORE. The article cites scholarly sources, and I in the parts I checked I didn't notice obvious essay-like language ("in my opinion", etc).

Local assembly group that does not meet the principles of general notability. The page begins with a substantial original research: Veneto for Autonomy was not a political party, but a mere group in the Regional Council of Veneto. The first part of the "History" section concerns the Tosi List, the second part merely states that the group was founded (while the last line concerns exclusively Roberto Caon and not this group).

The exact same information can be found on the Tosi List for Veneto page, so at most it could be transformed into a redirect to the latter. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 14:21, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This political party or whatever you want to call it (also an assembly group is encyclopedic... why not?) was active for several years, it was represented in the Regional Council of Veneto (a region with 5 million people) for three years by a leading regional politician, included other notable members (like Liga Veneta's former presidente Luca Baggio), obtained 3.6% in the 2020 Venetian regional election in a joint list with Forza Italia named "Forza Italia – Autonomy for Veneto" (this should be written both in this article and the article about the election) and was represented in the Italian Parliament for seven years. The article clearly deserves an article of its own. It it is not possible to keep it as I would like, an alternative (worse) solution would be to merge it with Tosi List for Veneto, in order to preserve the article's history, at least. --Checco (talk) 06:21, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Veneto for Autonomy has not been represented in the Italian Parliament for seven years, Roberto Caon was a member of Forza Italia. The "Veneto for Autonomy" group was made up of only one person, Maurizio Conte. Baggio, in addition to being no longer a regional councilor in 2017, has never joined this "political organization", but to an unknown party with a similar name: Veneto per le Autonomie. I am not aware that any source certifies that the wording "Autonomy for Veneto" in the Forza Italia list was due to the link with this group. This page is really badly written. Excluding these original researches and incorrect information, what little remains is already written on the page of the Tosi List for Veneto.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 08:46, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Checco,
1) could you please share sources backing your claims? I can't find anywhere that Veneto per l'Autonomia obtained 3.6% in the 2020 Venetian regional election and that it was able to elect a representative in Italian parliament.
2) "The article clearly deserves an article of its own" is not a valid argument. A subject deserves an article only if the subject is notable. The mere fact that the subject exists doesn't mean that it is notable. As primary criteria, a subject is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. I would like to highlight the word presumed, which means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. Finally, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. P1221 (talk) 12:15, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I perfectly understand that it is difficult to find sources on minor parties in the web, but Wikipedia and encyclopedias in general is especially useful at gathering information on issues of which ordinary people are not aware of. Veneto for Autonomy, a party whose main members and founders were Conte, Caon and Baggio[7] (you may not know them, but Caon and Baggio are besides Conte in this picture from VdA's founding press conference and the three were together also previously),[8] soon became an electoral ally and then an associate party of Forza Italia. Baggio, who was the party's president, was very close to Conte and they both joined Forza Italia at some point.[9][10][11] Similarly, did Caon.[12] When Conte joined Forza Italia, his affiliation in the Regional Council was changed to "Forza Italia – Veneto for Autonomy" (see an official letter of the joint group). In the 2020 Venetian regional election the alliance was confirmed and Conte was an unsuccessful candidate in the province of Padua.[13] In the meantime, Caon had been re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 2018. --Checco (talk) 06:50, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
These sources confirm a few things: 1. VpA was a group on the regional council (not a party); 2. the sources certainly demonstrate a political closeness between Conte (member of VpA) and Baggio and Caon, but no source explicitly declares the direct adhesion of the latter two to VpA (since it was a group and they were not regional councilors), so their adhesion is only supposed; 3. the affiliation of VpA (that is Conte) to Forza Italia was well known, as was his candidacy in its list. On the other hand, the joint electoral list between FI and this group is not proven. This source ([14]) claims that the additional diction "Autonomia per il Veneto" (not "Veneto per l'Autonomia") in Forza Italia's list was due to its support for Veneto's regional autonomy.
I think you did well to report these sources, but personally I think they are not sufficient to demonstrate the relevance of VpA... De facto, the only thing proven about VPA is that it was a split from the Tosi List. --Scia Della Cometa (talk) 09:17, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
However, I have a question to ask: which source affirms that Baggio was president of the party?--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 09:34, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I perfectly understand that it is difficult to find sources on minor parties in the web printed materials (newspapers, magazines, books...) are accepted sources, too.
but Wikipedia and encyclopedias in general is especially useful at gathering information on issues of which ordinary people are not aware of quite so... Wikipedia gathers information on notable subjects, not on everything. A political party created for supporting the election of a mayor in Morterone cannot find a place in Wikipedia, in my opinion...
The source 1 and the article of which you posted the picture clearly define "Veneto per l’Autonomia" as a Gruppo consiliare, therefore "Veneto per l’Autonomia" is not a party (an encyclopedia shall be very precise on terminology). Sources 3, 4 and 5 don't say that Baggio was president of "Veneto per l’Autonomia" (they don't even say if he was part of it...).
All in all, it seems to me that "Veneto per l’Autonomia" was just a group of three persons, which were elected in Veneto's regional parliament under a different party (Tosi List for Veneto), then merged in Forza Italia, without presenting at an election under the name "Veneto per l’Autonomia" (for the records, the name used after the merge with Forza Italia was "FORZA ITALIA - AUTONOMIA PER IL VENETO" - Autonomy for Veneto, not Veneto for Autonomy..) P1221 (talk) 10:18, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry for two inaccurate infos I wrote above: first, Caon was member of the Chamber of Deputies since joining VpA for five years, not seven; second, Baggio was not the party's president.
It is unfortunately impossible to find local newspapers of 2017 or 2018, but everything that is included in the article is correct and, as I have shown, more infos and sources could be added. VpA has been active for five years and it is still active now. There is no doubt, per sources, that it was established by three people: Conte, Caon and Baggio. Finally, it does not really matter how you want to call it (party, group, grouping, etc.), as it is clearly relevant for this encylopedia. I disagree that VpA is not a political party, but why should elective assembly groups excluded from Wikipedia? VpA has enough relevance, sources and history for having an article of its own, otherwise it is surely better to merge it with Tosi List for Veneto instead of simply deleting it. --Checco (talk) 13:44, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Assembly groups can be included in Wikipedia, as long as they meet notability guidelines, like for parties. And in any case, it is necessary to answer the following question: Did "Veneto per l’Autonomia" something notable enough for deserving its own article in Wikipedia? (and no, "it exists/existed" is not a valid answer). P1221 (talk) 15:26, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Clearly, with the passing of time, it is difficult to find sources on an old minor party, but we should not be affected by recentism and value some contents that make Wikipedia great, precisely because it can gather information on little-known subjects, for the benefit of readers. The political party was one of the founding groups of The People of Freedom. for the sake of readers, it is better to have it as a stand-alone article. However, if it is not possible to keep it as I would like, an alternative (worse) solution would be to merge it with The People of Freedom, pointing to the section on "Factions", in order to preserve the article's history, at least. --Checco (talk) 06:21, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is not a matter of the passing of time: if a subject is relevant the sources are found, if it is not relevant they are not found. This party is clearly not so relevant, otherwise the sources would be found. Obviously it makes sense to mention it on the page of the People of Freedom.

No significant coverage to meet NSPORTS or GNG. The previous AfD was closed as Keep based on the likely existence of SIGCOV sources; no sources have been found to exist or been added to the articles, and no objective evidence of their existence has been provided as required by WP:NRV. NSPORTS no longer allows presumption of notability and SPORTBASIC explicitly requires at least one SIGCOV source to be present in the article. The only non-database source is routine coverage of a single event and does not provide a level of depth that could be used to meet SIGCOV or build out a viable article. –dlthewave ☎ 15:34, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Meets the updated criteria in the opening paragraph of WP:NSPORT - "The article should provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the general notability guideline or the sport specific criteria set forth below", so going below you find it covers cricketers who have played at the highest domestic level. This is the second time this article has been nominated at AfD, with the nom following a previous pattern of re-nominating similar articles (one, two, three). When they were not satisfied when all three of those were kept, the nom sent all three to DRV. All three of those were all closed as endorse (IE keep).

There is a community consensus that participation-based criteria within NSPORT are not sufficient to establish that an individual is notable and that sports biographies must include examples of SIGCOV. As such, in light of WP:CONLEVEL, I see no reason that the article should be kept.

This is a misrepresentation of NCRIC from an editor who is now banned for their AfD conduct. That section actually says "Additionally, cricketers who have played at the highest domestic level, or in the lower levels of international cricket, may have sufficient coverage about them to justify an article, but it should not be assumed to exist without further proof" (emphasis mine). –dlthewave ☎
  • Delete - Article fails WP:GNG and WP:NCRICKET. While it's true that WP:NCRICKET mentions playing at the highest level, it says nothing about that making a subject notable, or that playing at the highest level meets some requirement. What it says is "cricketers who have played at the highest domestic level, or in the lower levels of international cricket, may have sufficient coverage about them to justify an article, but it should not be assumed to exist without further proof." So even the guideline being cited to support keeping the article doesn't actually support keeping the article. Since there is no further proof of sufficient coverage, then per WP:NCRICKET we must assume there is no notability. This article doesn't even have the presumption of notability, let alone established, demonstrated notability that articles on Wikipedia must have. WP:NEXIST does say that sources don't need to be in the article, but the sources do need to exist. There's been more than sufficient opportunity to present evidence of such sources, and none have materialized. For my part I have searched and came up empty. I also looked at the three other similar nominations for deletion before making this comment.

  • So, taking those sources in order:-
  1. The Olean Times Herald gives error 451: site access denied because the provider doesn't want to comply with the GDPR. This is common with US local news sources. That together with the title and name of the provider suggests that it's likely WP:MILL coverage in a local news source.
  2. The Bradford Era gives the same error and indeed refers me to exactly the same person's email address if I want to complain, so I seriously doubt if it's meaningfully different from source #1.
  3. The Hamilton Spectator, which is not the tremendously reputable source called The Spectator but some similarly-named local news source from the US, does display for me. It's WP:MILL coverage in which Mr Mungar reminisces about his sports and policing career. In the fourth paragraph from the bottom, it seems to admit that Mr Mungar never played professionally.
  4. The Hamilton News, is WP:MILL coverage in a local newspaper about a speech that Mr Mungar made at a gala in 2014.
  5. The Democrat and Chronicle, a US local newspaper, is from 26 December 1983. It describes Mr Mungar's height (apparently he's 6ft 8in) and his basketball play style; apparently his play has much improved. I see from the box at the bottom right that he was number 25 and was the highest scorer for his amateur team. No mention of ever winning anything.
To be quite frank, I'm not greatly impressed with any of that. Mr Mungar is doubtless a good sportsman and devoted servant to his community, but I've received more local newspaper coverage than he has, and I'm not notable at all.—S Marshall T/C 17:05, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
First off, WP:MILL is an essay and has no effect whatsoever on whether coverage is significant. The first source ("Mungar takes his place in Bonnies Hall of Fame") has 651 words on him, so definitely SIGCOV ("addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content"). The Olean article is over 1,400 words on his basketball career, so that's SIGCOV piece number two (already we have enough for GNG! Which only requires "multiple"). The Bradford Era article is over 1,000 words on him and how he was teammates with Dennis Rodman, so SIGCOV piece number three. The Spectator one is over 600 words on Mungar, so SIGCOV #4. Hamilton News is over 500 words, that means SIGCOV piece number five. And then finally there's the Democrat and Chronicle one, which is a few paragraphs on him, so probably SIGCOV. So we've got at least five pieces of significant coverage here, and GNG only requires two! BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:25, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No significant coverage to meet NSPORTS or GNG. The previous AfD was closed as Keep based on the likely existence of SIGCOV sources; no sources have been found to exist or been added to the articles. NSPORTS no longer allows presumption of notability and SPORTBASIC explicitly requires at least one SIGCOV source to be present in the article. –dlthewave ☎ 15:22, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note that per WP:NEXIST sources do not need to be present in the article. StAnselm (talk) 15:26, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSCRIT #5. Sources don't need to be present in the article but they do need to exist; I note that this is the second time this article has been nominated for deletion, and in the year since the previous discussion no one has been able to find suitable sources, which suggests there are no such sources. Redirection is not suitable due to the existence of an elected official called B. Sanjeeva Rao. BilledMammal (talk) 16:23, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Meets the updated criteria in the opening paragraph of WP:NSPORT - "The article should provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the general notability guideline or the sport specific criteria set forth below", so going below you find it covers cricketers who have played at the highest domestic level. This is the second time this article has been nominated at AfD, with the nom following a previous pattern of re-nominating similar articles (one, two, three). When they were not satisfied when all three of those were kept, the nom sent all three to DRV. All three of those were all closed as endorse (IE keep). At worst, redirect to List of Madhya Pradesh cricketers, per WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, WP:R#KEEP and WP:CHEAP. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:33, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    And the sports specific criteria includes WP:SPORTSCRIT. In addition, NCRIC doesn't presume notability, it suggests significant coverage is likely to exist if it and WP:SPORTSCRIT is met. BilledMammal (talk) 18:42, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Article fails WP:GNG and WP:NCRICKET. While it's true that WP:NCRICKET mentions playing at the highest level, it says nothing about that making a subject notable, or that playing at the highest level meets some requirement. What it says is "cricketers who have played at the highest domestic level, or in the lower levels of international cricket, may have sufficient coverage about them to justify an article, but it should not be assumed to exist without further proof." So even the guideline being cited to support keeping the article doesn't actually support keeping the article. Since there is no further proof of sufficient coverage, then per WP:NCRICKET we must assume there is no notability. This article doesn't even have the presumption of notability, let alone established, demonstrated notability that articles on Wikipedia must have. WP:NEXIST does say that sources don't need to be in the article, but the sources do need to exist. There's been more than sufficient opportunity to present evidence of such sources, and none have materialized. For my part I have searched and came up empty. - Aoidh (talk) 04:07, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete It's my opinion that GNG passing sources likely exists on the subject, in either offline or non-English language media, but in the year since the last AfD none has been forthcoming, therefore I'm at weak delete as there's no suitable redirect here as he played for a number of different sides. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 19:02, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep it seems nobody is really looking hard for sources here. There's an article here[16] that describes a match and comments of his career that, if it isn't sigcov, it comes close. There are a number of articles about his being an official[17] and I found a couple of database articles that referenced him as a club or regional official, he's also mentioned in the book Cricket wallah : with England in India, 1981-2 in a piece which has been excerpted in The Picador book of cricket and Bat, ball & boundary : a cricketer's companion. These are admittedly passing mentions, but it seems to me useful that sportsmen who get mentioned in anthologies of sportswriting and have significant careers be described in encyclopedia articles. There's some more coverage here[18] and he gets a mention in this book of cricket records[19]. With him showing up in these kinds of sources, I'm confident that if we actually had access to a good database of Indian newspapers for the relevant period of his playing career, he'd show up there too.--Jahaza (talk) 09:29, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • No I think those were likely seen but overlooked, because they are the very definition of trivial coverage and don't contribute to notability per WP:GNG. If that's the best we can find, it kind of supports the fact that there's nothing there in terms of coverage. While it's possible sources exist, per WP:NCRICKET we should not assume sources exist at this level. - Aoidh (talk) 16:21, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Trivial, passing mentions and appearances in lists do not contribute to GNG and certainly do not indicate further sources might exist. Primary play-by-play recaps of matches are routine in cricket and do not count towards GNG either. The article does not have a single SIGCOV source, and so fails SPORTCRIT and should be deleted.

The result was delete. The issue here is verifiability (not notability). The cited sources have been challenged in some detail; it is alleged that the cited sources do not support the article text. To rebut that allegation, the "keep" side would have to show how the sources do in fact support this content. This has not been done here, which means that WP:V, a core policy, mandates deletion.

  • Delete. The sourcing is bullshit. Compare Abu Tayeb Daoud bin Abdul Rahman and Hamzah ibn Wahas. Every one I checked failed verification. I don't doubt that these people existed (see de:Scherifen von Mekka#Herrscherliste), but the articles as they stand are not worth keeping. بندر, can you explain why you are citing a source "retrieved 12 September 2016" before you even joined WP? Srnec (talk) 20:51, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    There are several sources for example (أمراء مكة عبر عصور الإسلام، لعبدالفتاح راوة), but it was mentioned with simple information, as it is a very old era. I do not know the reason for the deletion, a historical figure has no interest in me in that. Regarding (see de:Scherifen von Mekka#Herrscherliste) you need to change like the Arabic Wikipedia. Regarding "retrieved 12 September 2016", This reference was cited to confirm that the alashraf Sulaymani ruled Mecca for a period of time. I think that the candidate of the article for discussion of deletion does not know well the reason for deleting the article, perhaps he is not familiar with Islamic history. بندر (talk) 04:22, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You are missing the point of the question about the dated citation: Srnec is asking how it is that on 17 July 2022 you came to incorporate and cite material from a source you label as not having been consulted since 16 September 2016 - short of you possessing a photographic memory, it would seem to indicate that the citation was simply copy/pasted from another page, perhaps without even looking at the source itself. (It is disconcerting that there are 17 pages that contain this source/retrieval date, most having been created or added by you more recently than the Sep 2016 date claimed. A retrieval date is generally superfluous for such a source, because unlike online sources, something formally fixed to paper does not subsequently change, but here it is a red-flag for what is at best sloppy copy/paste citation.)

  • It is necessary to update the list of the princes of Mecca de:Scherifen von Mekka#Herrscherliste, without logic, the grandfather rules and is from a certain faction of the "alashraf Sulaymani", and after him two personalities from another faction, and then the grandson comes after that.

Was a BLP PROD at one point but subsequently contested. Can't find anything to suggest he passes WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. I found a few hits in Google News but all are trivial mentions in match reports or photo captions. A Tips article has his name in the title but the body of the article only mentions him briefly, confirms his nationality, says he scored three goals in two games and contains a one-sentence quote from his coach. Even if this is 'significant coverage', we would still need at least one more independent source. A Croatian source search yielded nothing useful.

This is the first time I have used the XfD function so please let me know if I am making any mistakes. I have followed the instructions on the AFD page and in Twinkle.

The multiple issues banner was placed on the article over three months ago but no action has been taken to resolve the issues and so I must ask if the article should be removed.

The subject does not seem to meet the conditions set out on the WP:NSPORT page. Of the four sources cited, one is unobtainable, two are bare statistics only and the other is a short newspaper report which, to my mind, is what WP:SPORTBASIC classifies as "routine game coverage". I do not think any of the sources provide significant coverage as required by WP:NOTABILITY. I have done a Google search but I cannot see anything more than statistics, really, and I think some of the sites may not be reliable.

If there are other policies or guidelines I should be aware of, could someone please point them out? Thank you.

There's been more than sufficient opportunity to present evidence of such sources, and none have materialized. For my part I have searched and came up empty. I also looked at the three other similar nominations for deletion before making this comment. Given that they are functionally identical my comment for all four will be the same (which seems to be the theme here with all the comments). - Aoidh (talk) 04:07, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to List of Madhya Pradesh cricketers. Per community consensus, a GNG-passing source must exist for sportspersons to be considered notable. I see no evidence that this is met and per WP:CONLEVEL consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale. Since the individual fails WP:GNG, there is no policy-based reason for keeping the article. The individual's name appears on the list that is my proposed redirect target (and the list's selection criteria would include him) and ESPN CricInfo is reliable enough to establish his existence IMO, so I see a redirect as proper here. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 20:12, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment and leaning keep, still thinking. This is a difficult one, because ProQuest provides four articles with passing mentions and quotes, all pointing out that she has done things to sailing. Quoting from here:"Helen Mary Wilkes, IODA President of Honour, has been awarded the gold medal of World Sailing following thirty four years of service, most recently as vice-chair of the WS Classes Committee. She is only the fifth woman to receive this medal since its creation in 1990." I thought would give her a pass at WP:ANYBIO, but I cannot establish that the award she got it significant or well known. So I fund myself unable to make a policy-based argument here, and yet she still seems notable. Her presence in the encyclopedia seems a net positive. Is this one of those rare situations where I should say keep because WP:IAR and WP:5P5...I'm reluctant to say that...maybe I will. I'll wait for now. I would like to argue to keep. I'm keen to see what others say and will follow the arguments made and may update this. CT55555 (talk) 11:57, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in mind we are talking about someone whose claim to fame is that she was an administrator for a local yacht club. The award she may have received was probably one given by the club to one of its members, and therefore doesn't represent any real competition (which is why it is not notable-- it probably exists, it just doesn't matter). If we are going to claim IAR, maybe it should be for someone with greater notability than this person. A loose necktie (talk) 13:16, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think her greatest claim to fame is getting the President of Honour award from World Sailing, which is an international organisation based in a different country.
Presumably IAR is going to be quoted at borderline cases, if it was for slam dunk massively famous people, GNG would apply. That said, I'm still uncertain, still thinking. I"m happy to see some article improvement occurring. Maybe that will help give me clarity. CT55555 (talk) 15:19, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, the award she won is not notable (there is no Wikipedia article), and last time I checked, having a "long successful career" was not a notability criterion. If you want to argue "keep" it would be great if you could base that argument on something substantive and policy-related, yes? A loose necktie (talk)
  • Weak keep (I commented above), based on WP:ANYBIO criteria 2 The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field. I think she has done so in sailing. I say weak because the note to that quote notes that usually there is in depth writing and for this subject there is not, but I still think she meets the criteria.

  • Comment. ANYBIO is for extremely exceptional honors, it does not encompass internal awards that aren't even predictive of SIGCOV in the relevant NSPORT subguideline. Two of the sources cited above announcing her award are in fact non-independent: ISAF is the awarding organization, and she is an IODA President of Honour, so neither of those can contribute to GNG. The Afloat does appear independent, but is only one source. SIGCOV outside of her receipt of the award is necessary for BLP1E and GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 22:52, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I think you have mistakenly understood that I meant criterion 1 of ANYBIO, but it was criterion 2 that I mentioned. CT55555 (talk) 18:54, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, in that case I think the important bit is the requirement the impact be widely recognized and enduring. JoelleJay (talk) 21:37, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand and respect the point that you are making. It's not the clearest situation, which is why I said "weak". But I stand by my assertion. I see today that User:Cielquiparle did some work on the article, which is great, and I think makes clearer why I think she has indeed made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field. I'm trying to be a bit more WP:COAL so I'll try to avoid attempting to rebut any disagreement and hopefully let my analysis stand up for itself, even if you still disagree. CT55555 (talk) 18:58, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It is very difficult to accurately assess importance and wide recognition when plaudits are sourced to award announcements from non-independent orgs, as they will of course always hype up an awardee's exceptionalism. That's why it's critical to find truly independent coverage spanning several years. JoelleJay (talk) 23:48, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep based on extensive revisions by all to overcome COI issues and clarify lasting international impact of Helen Mary Wilkes’s work. Just enough reliable independent coverage satisfying WP:BASIC including Afloat magazine (emphasis her role in Optimist class, in-depth in 2017, mentioned in 2014 article), plus Providence Journal (focus on her work in women’s match racing). Recipient of Gold Medal from World Sailing governing body recognizing her work with the International Optimist Dinghy Association (IODA) (body of industry coverage makes it clear that success within this field is far from assured or “easy”); she is also mentioned in The Irish Times (1995, 1996) and Afloat magazine for helping Ireland punch above its weight in sailing. Additional mentions over the years help to validate wider recognition of the impact she has had – e.g. Carrickfergus Times (Northern Ireland); Royal Cork Yacht Club (“Helen Mary Wilkes, an absolute legend of Optimist racing”); St. Thomas International Opti Regatta (USVI); Sailing World (US); The Winner’s Guide to Optimist Sailing (thanked by Gary Jobson); Laura Rolandi Award of the Cofradía Europea de Vela (Spain/Europe).

As with List of Bahrain international footballers born outside Bahrain (AfD), List of Iran international footballers born outside Iran (AfD) and List of Norway international footballers born outside Norway (AfD), I fail to see how this list meets our inclusion criteria. Fails WP:LISTN due to lack of coverage on these individuals as a group or set and also violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE and appears to be a non-encyclopaedic cross-categorisation. In other words, where is the evidence of detailed discussion regarding the birthplaces of Belgium international footballers? It seems to me to be a trivial characteristic. Could be merged perhaps but I fail to see why this information is important as Wikipedia is not supposed to be an exhaustive collection of stats. Just because information can be verified by statistics databases doesn't mean that we absolutely need to have an article on it. By the same logic, we wouldn't have List of Belgium international footballers taller than 1.80m even if such a list could be verified against databases.

    In no shape or form have any of those other articles affected my judgement here. The judgement that I made is that the article violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE the same way the other lists in my opinion did. Nothing in this discussion from what I can see is lazy. You have made your point just like others will make theirs, but I don’t think it’s fair to say that it’s somewhat lazy. Fats40boy11 (talk) 15:15, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I found several references to the exact topic under discussion with not much effort, so I don't think it's fair to double down on your claim of indiscriminate in relation to Belgian players. The fact that you admit that the sources I have provided don't change your opinion suggests nothing would change your mind, so if you want to quote guidelines, sounds like a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT to me.
I also have to comment on "we wouldn't have List of Belgium international footballers taller than 1.80m". What utter nonsense. The single differentiating factor in international sports is birthplace. Normally where you are from is the team you represent, there are of course several loopholes and caveats but it's still fairly unusual for that not to be the case and given the high profile of most international teams in this sport, that usually receives media coverage in some detail, and where that it is presented collectively it also makes it a valid topic (though not necessarily cast iron certainty) for a Wikipedia article. If there was some height based selection criteria for teams, and a loophole occasionally permitted players not meeting that standard to still be included, you can bet that would be commented upon at length in the media in certain countries, and would likewise be worthy of inclusion here. I couldn't see any attempt to make this comparison in the previous AfDs so not sure why it has been added now. Crowsus (talk) 15:44, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t necessarily agree with all of your points and it’s definitely not a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. However, I will agree to disagree with you on this. Whatever the outcome of the AFD may be, I will respect the decision and of course I respect your opinion. Fats40boy11 (talk) 15:58, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As will I, of course. Nothing personal. Crowsus (talk) 18:13, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to assess some of the sources. One issue is that they seem to focus more on ethnicity rather than birthplace - this is a similar but not identical topic to the one at hand. VP - at many points, this discusses Belgian-born players such as Marouane Fellaini, Zakaria Bakkali and Adnan Januzaj all of whom are only mentioned because of their ethnicity rather than birthplace. La Libre mentions naturalisation, which is of course relevant, but also lists players that don't meet the criteria such as Juan Lozano (never played for Belgium - correct me if I'm wrong) and Enzo Scifo, which is completely bizarre. Voetbal Krant discusses players with dual nationality but doesn't strictly discuss foreign-born players. In fact, the majority of this list are actually born in Belgium such as Michy Batshuayi, Yannick Carrasco, Nacer Chadli, Mousa Dembélé and Radja Nainggolan. It seems that the topic of "List of Belgium international footballers with foreign roots" is well covered as it seems the media is interested in footballers of different ethnicities but birthplace seems to take a backseat. For example, to draw a relevant comparison with an England international, I can't imagine anyone would say that England 'stole' Terry Butcher off Singapore!

  • Keep but probably re-title. The "wick effect" is not being used in the title as a proper noun but a descriptive phrase. Hence the lower case "e". The effect is entirely non-controversial – it is how a candle burns. This article is restricted to one very limited aspect, however, and it is actually about the means by which there can be partial or total destruction of a human body by fire. There is some slight controversy about the matter, I suppose, but it is very widely discussed. The effect is in no way concerned with whether or how a body may come into flame spontaneously. Spontaneous human combustion is an entirely different matter (which is why the articles should not be merged). SHC is not caused by the wick effect nor is it always supposed to involve the wick effect. Note that in this article none on the examples involve spontaneous combustion except possibly the last Michael Faherty example which is highly controversial. That a human body can burn by the wick effect is discussed in many reliable sources although the exact phrase "wick effect" is often not used, possibly in an attempt to avoid confusion, but unfortunately "spontaneous human combustion" is often mentioned in such articles, usually to discount the "spontaneous" aspect.[32][33][34] Thincat (talk) 20:01, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. With no clear !vote moving to keep, the positions are divided between delete and a mix of alternatives (draftify, mere, redirect, with no preference emerging there) that still include removing the original article. Someone might attempt those alternatives, but with no one fighting to keep, this is one to delete. No pointing in a third relisting for something this clearly on its way to removal.

This tour isn't generally notable. Magmamatt opposed redirecting to the article about the band itself, so now deletion is the only course. Chris Troutman (talk) 12:45, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Any indication on why you believe this tour to be "not generally notable"? I see articles specifically about the tour in NME (this and others), but also in e.g. La Republica[35]. A merge to the band article may be better for now (presumably the tour will get additional coverage once the concerts happen), but deletion seems like overkill.

I prodded this article on the basis that it was sourced only to a database. Creator deprodded and added another source... which was another database. My interpretation of WP:NOTDIR is that Wikipedia is not a comprehensive directory of Olympians.

    Still, the question is not whether the databases are selective or notselective, the question is whether they are reliable sources. As demonstrated, the subject meets the notability standards and therefore just needs reliable sources. Tone 21:20, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm sorry to disagree with you again, Tone, but when you say "this subject meets the notability standards", I don't think that's actually the case. The notability standard requires reliable sources, plural, and I think this content only has one. To a superficial glance it might look like three, but let's actually drill down and look at them:
  1. Olympedia.com: "Hans-Martin Trepp was a forward who played for EHC Arosa from 1946-59, winning seven consecutive Swiss titles with that side from 1951-57. He played for Switzerland at the World Championships four times, winning three bronze medals in 1950-51 and 1953. He also added six medals at the European Championships, winning gold in 1950, silver in 1951, and bronzes in 1947, 1949, and 1952-53. Statistics are not complete but Trepp was a prolific scorer for Arosa, with 128 goals and 161 points in the last four years of his career in only 49 games. He scored 43 goals in his 39 games at the Olympics and Worlds."
  2. Sports-reference.com: "Hans-Martin Trepp was a forward who played for EHC Arosa from 1946-59, winning seven consecutive Swiss titles with that side from 1951-57.

All three sites claim copyright, but looking at their copyright pages I think their data is actually compiled by the OlyMADmen, who are the people whose names are listed here.

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

Article fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. None of the sources in the article are independent reliable sources that devote significant coverage to the article's subject. I did a thorough WP:BEFORE and there were a few trivial mentions in Google Books and a few articles describing the legal ownership of NERO, I could find nothing that would support notability for the subject. As for the sources in the article, not a single one supports notability:

  • An obituary - Given that obituaries are typically written by surviving family members, it is not an independent source.
  • This source is behind a paywall but I was able to find it on Newspapers.com and made a clipping of it here and continued here. Ivey is mentioned in the second link and quotes him but the article is about NERO and the mention of him is trivial coverage. It does take two sentence to describe him briefly, but it is still trivial coverage, mentioned in passing.
  • This biography of him is from "the LARPy awards" from when he was one of their judges. Not an independent source.
  • This Philiadephia Inquirer article is reliable but trivial. It's about NERO and literally the only thing it says about Ivey is "Started in 1988 by Ford Ivey in Boston, Mass..." trivial coverage.
  • Images from first NERO event is from NERO and thus not independent, but also is just a collection of images, nothing useful can be sourced from this.
  • Dragon Magazine has an article about NERO on page 46 but doesn't mention Ivey in any way, even in passing.
  • Who's who in NERO is from NERO itself and thus not independent, but also is just lists his name and title and is trivial coverage.
  • LARPHack is a blog, but reliability of the source aside it's still a trivial mention and all it says about Ivey is "Lead by Ford Ivey, the progenitor and current holder of the NERO Trademark..." the article is about NERO, not Ivey in any way. Trivial coverage.
  • Osiris Sanction is a site for a game created by Ivey. Not an independent source and even in that context only mentions him in passing. Trivial coverage.

The article seems to be going for an WP:INHERITED notability from NERO, but as notability is not inherited, founding NERO does not make him notable just because NERO itself is notable. Aoidh (talk) 08:20, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • The issue I have with merging or creating such a section in the NERO article is that when you take WP:BALANCING into consideration, anything above a passing mention (which already exists in the article, and is all that exists in reliable sources) is undue and disproportionate to coverage by reliable sources. There's really nothing worth merging that would be proportionate to what reliable sources cover, and expanding such a section in the NERO article would place undue emphasis on an aspect of NERO that reliable sources barely mention, when they do mention it at all. - Aoidh (talk) 03:31, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It could always just be redirected then, rather than full deletion. That way, if sources turn up in the future, it can be restored and improved. BOZ (talk) 10:25, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • mergeAs I'm reading the timeline, NEROtics started well after Ivey was out of NERO. I'd say that's independent enough and a source of detailed information. The obit is enough to write the basics and the brief mentions are enough to justify a paragraph on him in the main article. But yeah, doesn't reach WP:N no matter how hard I try... Hobit (talk) 14:19, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Even if a magazine for a game was independent of the person who made the game (in no way is that in any way independent by any definition, the only reason he was featured was because he founded the game, which is a strong connection thus per WP:GNG not independent) both of those are still interviews. Being an interview with Ford Ivey means it’s not independent of Ford Ivey; being that the NERO publication interviewed the founder of NERO specifically because he founded NERO means it’s also not independent, but even if it were the BBC and had no connection, the interview aspect still means it’s not independent. There's nothing to merge. - Aoidh (talk) 18:18, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be a fantasy of GNIS, now inexplicable since they cleaned up a lot of entries in the past few years. But the fact remains that the name doesn't show up on the topos until the reformatting circa 2013, which is never a good sign. What does show up before that is the Pigeon Roost memorial and adjacent cemetery. All evidence is that the Pigeon Roost settlement was the only thing here, and that there never was a separate "station" settlement. If someone can come up with a history of Pigeon Roost beyond the massacre, it should have an article, but this one should be deleted outright. Mangoe (talk) 05:59, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article is based on posts from the forum, the novella and the website where the photo is posted. Furthermore, this person's name has been arbitrarily changed to "Piotr" although sources state "Peter". I have not been able to find any information about this person in Polish sources. "Chemy" is certainly not a Polish name, it is probably spelled incorrectly. Is a common murderer notable enough to have a Wikipedia article? Marcelus (talk) 05:11, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, although 'novella' is a bit harsh: it's a memoir of an officer directly involved with the execution. However, it seems the author was assigned to Landsberg only after the trial had already concluded, so the story of the murders might just be a rumour amongst the soldiers (most of which wouldn't have spoken German or Polish).
In any case, it's not an academic source and it's not cited directly. ErfeoM (talk) 10:15, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was speedy keep per WP:SK#1. A valid rationale for deletion relative to Wikipedia's Wikipedia:Deletion policy is not present. For example, per WP:NEXIST, notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. If an article has no sources in it, this does not automatically default to the topic being non-notable. See WP:DEL-REASON for examples of valid rationales. No prejudice against speedy renomination with a valid rationale for deletion. North America1000 10:50, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep Based on the conclusion from the discussion on names and surnames, it doesn't look like a name being common or not is a factor when determining notability, but rather whether the name has a significant history. If this name were just etymology it would be a delete, but since there is documentation of the history of the name, there may be more to the history of the name. A search on the Slovak Wikipedia returns four Krehels- Lukas Krehel (musician), Marek Krehel (priest), Radomir Krehel (musician), and Oleh Krehel (professor) none of whom have their own Wikipedia page. There is a Slovak version of the page (which I linked to the English page) that appears almost identical in Slovak, but which appears to contain some statistics on the incidence of the name in Slovakia. I think that if one were to do a lot of research in Slovak source material one could probably prove that the name has significant history, so it seems okay to leave it for the eventuality that someone wants to do that research or in case some Krehel's become more notable or already notable Krehel's have pages made about them.

Fails GNG and NORG, ref 1 reads like a press release, although I cannot find markings noting that it is. Ref 2, 4, and 6 are not independent (see comment below). Ref 3 is a 525 page book that mentions the school three times from what I can see, probably passing mentions. Further reading section consists of what I think is studies conducted by the school.

  • Comment Whoops didn't notice the PROD contest by Cunard (and probably wouldn't have nominated if I did). The prod has similar sources in the article. Looking over the papers (further reading section) again, I've realized I've confused the school with another one located in the same area, but I would argue that the citations still either falls under passing coverage, as it studies the current situation of girls' physical education or Chinese teaching in the school or is a primary source and as such cannot contribute to WP:GNG. Else an argument can also be made for WP:AUD as the intended audience are all local except citation one which as previously noted sounds like a press release. Justiyaya 04:08, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Thank you for the ping, Justiyaya (talk · contribs).

    Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Schools says:

    All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must either satisfy the notability guidelines for organizations, the general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria. (See also WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES)

    Analysis

    Yangzhou Xinhua High School is a non-profit educational organization, so the guideline says the school is notable even if it meets the the general notability guideline but not the the notability guidelines for organizations. This means there is no requirement for the school to meet WP:AUD which applies only to companies, organizations, and for-profit educational organizations. Regarding the academic research done into the school's physical education and students' performance in Chinese reading, I consider those sources to be about the school's pedagogy so contribute to establishing notability.

    One journal article (Cao & Xu 2017) is from people affiliated with Yangzhou University which is independent of this high school. The second academic article (Cai 2019) does not have an affiliation but it is likely the author is not affiliated with the school given how negative his abstract is ("the students in this school have a weak awareness of developing their own logical thinking in reading and learning, and the teachers' awareness of improving their own logical thinking is weak").

  • @Cunard: Thanks for pointing the part in WP:NSCHOOL out, I didn't notice that. I think an argument for COI can be made for source three based on its promotional tone. (from google translate the article includes) "More than 80 years of brilliance have created the Xinhua spirit of 'unity and hard work, hard work, truth-seeking and innovation, and scientific development'" really stands out as being a press release or somehow affiliated with the school. I don't think four or five provides significant coverage given the context, both being books that only contains 2-3 mentions of the subject. 1/2 are quite convincing in terms of GNG given the argument by Jumpytoo and Cunard though. Justiyaya 06:25, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTRESUME.

The Wired source lacks independence because it relies almost entirely on interviewing the subject for its content. Same story with CNBC. The sourcing requirement to establish notability is such that we need sources that wrote about someone, not sources that wrote what that someone said. FalconK (talk) 01:18, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
They're not interviews. Interviews follow a Q&A format. They're profiles consisting mainly of biographical information with just a few quotes by the subject. Sean Brunnock (talk) 12:50, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:GNG: lack of independent coverage. There is a lot of easy-to-find sources out there, but all of them say the same thing, and are either interviews of the article's subject, or based on these interviews. Having this in mind, it's easy to see why all the articles repeat the same statements, and never say anything that doesn't correspond to what Iddris Sandu and the people he works with have said.

  • Keep The high profile sources may be based largely on interviews, but there's a quite a few of them. There are also dozens of mid-level sources documenting various ventures and projects he's been involved in. I also found this award that he received. It seems to be a fairly notable award. He was also the keynote speaker at an recent conference organized by Block, Inc.. Even if there is some weakness in the individual instances of proof of notability, the large and diverse volume of media coverage as well as his well documented connections to numerous celebrities points toward clear notability in my opinion.
