  • @SL93: do you have access to Newspapers.com? (If not, go ahead and apply for one at Wikipedia Library. You deserve it!) I'm finding enough there that it would take some time to review and sort through. Of course a lot of it is self-reporting on the part of the non-profit, but there appear to be feature articles that try to balance quotes from the organization with what people in the community say, and also compare and contrast to other similar organizations. (And of course this article as it currently stands is problematic and needs work.) Cielquiparle (talk) 09:02, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I am on the fence on this one, most of the references are for the company, not the subject. But there are a couple of reference that are on the cuff of supporting WP:N for the subject. As I said when I removed the speedy, there is to much here for a speedy. I think the subject has potential, maybe it is a case of WP:TOOSOON. No objections to keep or recreate (after delete) if more can be found to meet WP:N for the subject. Jeepday (talk) 18:20, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of wp:notability under SNG or GNG. No content other than it's existence. IMO an inevitable permastub limited to that. Better merged to a line or sentence or two in the rail line article. North8000 (talk) 20:58, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Longstanding consensus is that all railway stations are notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:15, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment People keep talking about an imaginary "consensus that all rail stations are notable" which does not exist. First, the place such a thing that came out of an actual consensus process is at WP GNG and the SNG's. They aren't mentioned under any SNG's leaving it to GNG says that they have to meet GNG souring. Some folks point to WP:RAILOUTCOMES which:
  1. Is not even a guideline, it's an observation of common outcomes, and per other posts, it appears that even that observation may be wrong
  2. Conflicts with their blanket statement, stating a few types which are usually kept after which it says:"Other stations are usually kept or merged and redirected to an article about the line or system they are on.""
North8000 (talk) 13:47, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
All WP:RAILOUTCOMES does is illustrate the consensus, which most assuredly exists and has been established over many AfDs. Nobody is claiming it is a guideline, but WP:CONSENSUS is a policy. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:30, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My post just said that that is not accurate, and gave many specific. You are just repeating your previous assertion. North8000 (talk) 16:06, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Existing heavy rail stations on a main system (i.e. not a heritage railway) are generally kept at AfD. Is this is a heritage railway? No it isn't. And yes, it is accurate. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:18, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please read the first section from the essay that you have been quoting from and trying to mis-use Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#Common outcomes#Citing this page in AfD and you will see that what you have been trying to do with it here conflicts with it in many ways and is invalid.North8000 (talk) 13:21, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xingke Avenue station and the 2019 RfC which explicitly held there is no consensus that all train stations are inherently notable. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:57, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
One AfD does not a consensus make and the comment by the closer is irrelevant and overreach (they should have joined the conversation to take a position). So what is the change in consensus from the RfC from 2019 to which you refer? Djflem (talk) 19:50, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Did you even read the RfC I linked? It said there is NO CONSENSUS that train stations are inherently notable. NO. CONSENSUS. It is your comments here that are irrelevant and overreach. You are claiming a consensus that explicitly has been found not to exist. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:02, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As you mentioned consensus can change (through discussion or editing). Since the 2019 RfC one can see consensus is to not delete articles of this type.Djflem (talk) 10:43, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, consensus is a particular Wikipedia decision-making process. You trying to "interpret" something out of a list of articles (including ones that that are there due to "no consensus to delete") isn't it. North8000 (talk) 19:12, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The survey clearly represents Wikipedia-wide consensus developed over an extended period of time to keep such articles. Wikipedia:Arbitration succintky states that "where there is a global consensus to edit in a certain way, it should be respected and cannot be overruled by a local consensus". This is re-iterated at Wikipedia:CONLEVEL: "Consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale."
Please see my post which you were ostensibly responding to where you completely ignored the points made in it, which refute your most recent post. North8000 (talk) 15:06, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, nothing to do with that post. Pointing out the fact Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Transportation/archive demonstrates a community wide consensus through editing to keep articles of this type (handily condensed in survey presented). Djflem (talk) 20:00, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Trainsandotherthings has started an RfC at Wikipedia talk:Notability#Notability of train stations. NemesisAT (talk) 10:47, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Jumpytoo. Djflem (talk) 12:58, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There is a second debate going on here which is the false "all train stations are notable" claim. That false claim aside, I think that some folks have established that this is at least an edge case under GNG, and note that a result could be determined noting that it was based on (edge case) GNG review of provided sources. You could count me as a keep only if something like that was described in the close. North8000 (talk) 13:31, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep without prejudice to a merge discussion. The nomination presents no rationale for deletion but rather is actively seeking a merge. Nobody else has provided any reason why this should be deleted rather than merged. Thryduulf (talk) 21:35, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. At most this could redirect to the author's page, but I don't think that there's really any need to merge content into the author's article. It's already fairly well covered in its own section, at least as covered as available sourcing allows. What's in the article is pretty much just indiscriminate fan wiki type content. As far as sourcing goes, the most I could find was a review at Foreword, which is unusable because nowadays they sell reviews as part of their marketing service. It's a shame, as Clarion used to be more respected. I'm not sure when they started the pay to review service, but it casts some doubt upon anything reviewed by them. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 16:01, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Agree that there is nothing to merge. (The only useable content currently in the article as far as I can tell is "Diadem is a series of fantasy novels by John Peel.") Not sure there's any point in a redirect, since it already has a disambiguated title - just need to update the disamb page itself to link to John Peel (writer). -- asilvering (talk) 00:02, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No indication why it's notable who graduated last in the class. Biographical Register of the Officers and Graduates of the United States Military Academy, at West Point, New York [9] has a comprehensive listing of graduates of each year, sorted by class rank, and this just collates the bottom person of each list without explanation of why this matters or is encyclopedic.

  • Keep: Unlike the previous West Point list you nominated, this one actually has could have validity. The lowest-ranking graduate (known as the goat, previously the immortal) is an actual thing that seems to generate pretty significant coverage (ex. [10] [11] [12]), mainly because of the association with Pickett and Custer. Curbon7 (talk) 19:51, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Not an appropriate list per WP:LISTPEOPLE. Most of the people listed here don't have Wikipedia articles of their own, and in many cases there is no reason why they would, as many of them resigned from the Army or died within a few years of graduation, making it unlikely that they would pass WP:BIO. Finishing last in their class at West Point might seem like a notable mark of shame, but on the other hand, somebody always has to be last in any class, and many of these classes had less than 100 graduates. Not to mention that it would have been only a small percentage of American men who were able to pursue any kind of higher education in the 19th century, and the really bad students would have failed or left the Academy before graduation. Pace Curbon7, I suggest it might be better to have an article that discusses the general concept of the West Point goat/immortal rather than listing every one of them. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:00, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a single-market local radio show, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing our notability criteria for radio shows. As always, radio shows are not "inherently" notable just because they existed -- they have to reliably source a claim to significance, such as winning noteworthy radio awards and/or being the subject of enough media coverage in sources independent of themselves to pass WP:GNG.
But there's no evidence of anything noteworthy being shown here: firstly, the article just reads like a listener summarizing the show's format, without making any effort to record any external validation of its significance. Secondly, the only source that's actually being used to footnote any content was self-published by the station that aired it and thus isn't an independent source for the purposes of establishing notability -- and while there is one independent news article about its cancellation in 2018 being used to footnote the footnote instead of the article body, one piece of media coverage in the same market's local newspaper isn't enough all by itself. And thirdly, even on a ProQuest search for older coverage that wouldn't Google, I didn't find anything that would turn the tide: apart from the same newspaper article that's already here, I can only find one other source that might actually be useful, and even that's a fairly short piece which still isn't substantive enough to nail notability to the wall if it's the only other thing I can find. Otherwise, I'm only finding glancing namechecks of the show's existence in tangential coverage of Andy Frost's stint as a hockey announcer and/or his thoughts on the anniversary of Woodstock, which don't help notability as they aren't about the show.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the show from having to have much better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:48, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment People keep talking about an imaginary "consensus that all rail stations are notable" which does not exist. First, the place such a thing that came out of an actual consensus process is at WP GNG and the SNG's. They aren't mentioned under any SNG's leaving it to GNG says that they have to meet GNG souring. Some folks point to WP:RAILOUTCOMES which:
  1. Is not even a guideline, it's an observation of common outcomes, and per other posts, it appears that even that observation may be wrong
  2. Conflicts with their blanket statement, stating a few types which are usually kept after which it says:"Other stations are usually kept or merged and redirected to an article about the line or system they are on.""
North8000 (talk) 13:45, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
All WP:RAILOUTCOMES does is illustrate the consensus, which most assuredly exists and has been established over many AfDs. Nobody is claiming it is a guideline, but WP:CONSENSUS is a policy. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:29, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My post just said that that is not accurate, and gave many specific. You are just repeating your previous assertion. North8000 (talk) 16:08, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Existing heavy rail stations on a main system (i.e. not a heritage railway) are generally kept at AfD. Is this is a heritage railway? No it isn't. And yes, it is accurate. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:59, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Necrothesp, please read the first section from the essay that you have been quoting from and trying to mis-use Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#Common outcomes#Citing this page in AfD and you will see that what you have been trying to do with it here conflicts with it in many ways and is invalid.North8000 (talk) 13:30, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I feel the present sourcing is sufficient to meet WP:GNG. Railway stations are an uncontroversial topic that doesn't need extensive sourcing. I feel a consistent approach of keeping all station articles is beneficial to Wikipedia's readers as it aids navigation with categories, Special:Nearby, and the adjacent stations templates. I see little benefit in potentially thousands of deletion discussions to determine the notability of every individual station. NemesisAT (talk) 16:45, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. For those editors who refuse to accept that a consensus exists that railway stations are notable, here it is very clearly illustrated. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:04, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Consensus is a particular Wikipedia decision-making process. You trying to "interpret" something out of a list of articles (including ones that that are there due to "no consensus to delete") isn't it.North8000 (talk) 19:15, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This survey clearly represents Wikipedia-wide consensus developed over an extended period of time to keep such articles. Wikipedia:Arbitration succintky states that "where there is a global consensus to edit in a certain way, it should be respected and cannot be overruled by a local consensus". This is re-iterated at Wikipedia:CONLEVEL: "Consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale." Djflem (talk) 07:49, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    From the close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xingke Avenue station: "The argument that all train stations are automatically notable has no basis in an actual guideline, as has been pointed out, which makes the "keep" arguments presented here rather weak." And more clearly, an RfC was held on this question which resulted in a finding of no consensus that all train stations are notable, meaning that it is really at these previous AfDs that a local consensus is overriding a global one. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:55, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The global consensus through editing seen at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Transportation demonstrates that the community has consistently chosen to keep articles of this type (main line stations). Incidentally, comments of that type from a closer do not create consensus, policy, guidline and are irrelevant and best ignored as useless Wikipedia:Supervote. Djflem (talk) 20:11, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nice try totally ignoring the 2019 RfC that found no consensus for your argument. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:58, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Yet to become notable. Georgethedragonslayer (talk) 09:28, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Wikipedia does not indiscriminately accept every award that exists as an instant notability clincher — we only extend that to major awards that can be shown as notable by virtue of garnering media coverage in sources independent of themselves (e.g. Oscars, Emmys, Canadian Screen Awards, etc.), and not to awards that have to be sourced to the awarding organization's or the recipient's own self-published content about themselves because media coverage is non-existent. That is, the award has to itself be demonstrable as a notable award before it can make its winners notable for winning it. But the awards here are of the latter type, not the former, and the article is otherwise very overdependent on primary sources and glancing namechecks of its existence in coverage of other things, with virtually no third party coverage about the podcast being shown at all. Bearcat (talk) 21:30, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards nomination is a major accolade among the Film Community and is used as Accolade reference in many comparable Wikipedia pages, including Joe Bob Briggs, M Knight Shyamalan, John Walsh, Karen Gillan, House of 1000 Corpses, and others. Suggest adding improvement tags for 'additional citations for for verification. and that This article relies too much on references to primary sources. Kimmikillzombie (talk) 19:48, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's a massive difference between an award that can be listed for completionism's sake in an article that's already adequately referenced as having strong notability claims and strong sourcing, and an award that can actually constitute a topic's article-clinching notability claim in and of itself. M. Night Shyamalan, for example, is in no sense depending on "Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards" as his notability claim — dude's got Oscar nominations under his belt, and would have a Wikipedia article on that basis even if the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards didn't exist at all. So no, the fact that his article happens to list a couple of Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award nominations does not mean that an unrelated topic gets to claim that it's notable specifically because of a Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award nomination — an award can only be a notability claim for its recipients if it's an award that demonstrably receives enough GNG-worthy media coverage to demonstrate that the award is a notable one, and cannot be a notability claim for its recipients if you have to depend on the award's own self-published website about itself to source the claim because media coverage is non-existent.
And no, we don't keep poorly sourced articles just because somebody theorizes that better sources might exist than anybody has actually found — once notability has been questioned, you have to show that the necessary reliable sources to salvage the article with definitely do exist to get an article kept. Please see Wikipedia:But there must be sources!. Bearcat (talk) 12:04, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and redirect to List of science fiction television programs by genre. What we have here is a good aid for navigation. I am not sure if the topic fails WP:LISTN, having not searched myself, but it would fit well into that target and could fullfill the navigation function there. And as Piotrus has already indicated, there should be no doubt about the notability with regard to List of science fiction television programs. That should also solve any perceived problems with WP:SALAT. I think List of science fiction television shows indicates more than just sitcoms, right? So I have pointed that redirect to the broader, existing list as long as there are no objections. Daranios (talk) 10:44, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, according to WP:LISTN, the group needs to be discussed. Best comedy/humorous sci-fi is routinely discussed by independent sources, just as humorous scifi books are. Without a category this is a useful resource for this group without having to guess, guess, guess.Halbared (talk) 10:08, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to List of science fiction television programs by genre per Daranios. There's no question that the list of science fiction television programs in general would pass WP:LISTN, and this list is basically just an unnecessary spinout of that topic. Redirecting there, and merging over any shows that may be missing from the main list, would basically solve the issues with this list. Rorshacma (talk) 01:55, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    That also assumes that lists should include non-notable games. I think that most people would agree that games appearing on any (non-developer-specific) list in Wikipedia should either be bluelinked or redlinked (having article potential)?

No evidence of any notability. All sources are own sources. Searches reveals very little beyond own sites and press release publishing. Appears to be a very niche award from a poorly publicised magazine. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk   10:47, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Everything that Newyorkbrad said is true. Reasons to keep: 1. the magazine heavily publicizes the results of other awards' procedings; 2. locus publishes a well-circulated periodical and releases new short fiction, novelettes, and other stories by note-able contemporary science fiction and fantasy authors; 3. the results of the locus awards are followed by goodreads, worldwithoutend, macmillian, tor, uncanny, and others. not mainstream enough? "The winners of the Locus Awards, considered some of the most prestigious prizes in science fiction, fantasy and horror literature, were announced Saturday" a quote from the la times in 2018; 4. the magazine maintains active online presence the staff conducting reviews of new literature and interviews with award-winning authors; 5. publishers excitedly post when their works are nominated and win. many people like the authors or publishers even write on the front of the books "winner of Locus Award". like this: https://www.hachette.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/hbg-title-9781529346671-26.jpg?fit=440%2C675 if it wasn't note-able, why would they add it to the front covers of the books?

  • Comment for a significant award, it is very difficult to find on-line and as for the magazine, that too is not an easy find. Having someone put an award on their dust-jacket is hardly more than a sales pitch.

Nothing more.  Velella  Velella Talk   16:02, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment for this significant award, it took less than 2 minutes to find an la times article describing its importance and as for the magazine, that too is easy to see that it's won 30 hugo awards during its run. You must need to see it in the NYT or the Atlantic or EW.com, slate.com to get satisfactorily assured. If an editor could levy a robust, reliable contestation of its lack of merit, I might be convince, but the above is just words. Nothing more. Create a template (talk)

  • Keep The Locus Awards are, with the Hugos and the Nebulas, the big awards for speculative fiction, and it makes sense to have separate pages for the different categories given the length of the lists. The winners are also independently wiki-notable, and so the list serves a valid navigational purpose. XOR'easter (talk) 19:57, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep — Per Olivaw-Daneel. This is just way too obvious that no previous search was made before nominating. RB Talk to the Beans? 10:33, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is a pretty major award in the sci-fi/speculative fiction world. A quick search shows that this is the spinoff award from the former "Best Novel" award, likely when they realized that there was a need for individual ones for the various genres that Locus covers as a whole. (That's more of an aside, though.) Now as far as sourcing goes, I will have to refer to a 2019 review by Ian Green in Nature Physics - a scientific journal - of The Calculating Stars: A Lady Astronaut Novel, which won the 2019 award. Green refers to how the book won a Hugo and a Nebula as well, referring to the awards as "three of the top awards in science fiction." If a noted scientific journal that does not typically deal in fiction is referring to the award as such, that is a sign of its notability. The list of awards is also covered in various different magazines and news outlets as well - given that this is one of the top awards, it makes sense to spin this out into its own article, especially given that it's been presented for over 40 years.

Romanian Brazilians

Articles on this subject have already been deleted, as per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Romanian Brazilians and a G4. I haven't seen the deleted article and so am not tagging this article for another G4. However, the same arguments apply as in the AFD, including not everything is encyclopedic and not enough information to be encyclopedic. The references verify that what is in the article is verifiable. The question is whether the subject is encyclopedic, and it has already been decided once that it is not.

Per WP:SERIESA. Minimal third party coverage, just lots of getting profiled in sources like WP:TECHCRUNCH. The Washington Post article is actually syndicated from Techcrunch. Not notable.

    • I have to disagree here. Yannacopoulos, for example, mentions Kampyle only 3 times, and those times are in a list of related vendors, and two screenshots comparing it with those other vendors. This is not the substantial coverage contemplated in WP:CORPDEPTH; it's a passing mention. The book isn't covering how to use Kampyle, even. Gordon name checks Kampyle exactly once: "Companies such as Kampyle... use online survey instruments..." and that's it. Clifton comes close, but still only superficially mentions what Kampyle might be used for in a small handful of examples. These are not, any of them or any of the others, substantially about Kampyle. I'd also like to point you at WP:OTHERSTUFF - I also nominate a lot of essentially unsourced articles here, but in this instance we're talking about Kampyle.

      The book notes: "Kampyle (www.kampyle.com) is an online Feedback Analytics platform that allows website owners to create their own advanced, branded, and customized feedback forms and put them on their sites for the benefit of their users. Website visitors can quickly and simply submit their feedback with a general grade, feedback category, subcategory, text description, and the contact details. Visitors access the feedback form through the use of a non-invasive feedback button, which can be placed in various locations on the web page. ... Clearly integrating Kampyle feedback data with Google Analytics provides a more complete picture of website performance."

      The book notes: "Kampyle gathers feedback from site visitors in two ways. An orange "Give Feedback" button or triangle permanently pins itself ot a corner or side of the browser window on a website that has deployed Kampyle. The tool can also be configured to display a "Would you like to take our survey?" lightbox popover window to a small percentage of visitors. ... When giving feedback with this tool, users also have the option to leave their e-mail address for you to respond to, therefore allowing you to form an ongoing dialogue with your respondents (particularly useful for discontented ones). Reasonably priced plans for small businesses are available as well as enterprise plans, making this a cost-effective way of gathering feedback for your website and uncovering problems."

      The book notes: "Two companies, Kampyle (www.kampyle.com) and OpinonLab (www.opinionlab.com) offer excellent tools for collecting and analyzing voice-of-the-customer data on your site. Kampyle's tool, shown on the left side of Figure 8.12, combines a colorful prompt on the corner or edge of the page with predefined categories that make it easy to process feedback. Kampyle also allows you to combine the feedback reported through the tool directly to your Google Analytics data using a prebuilt integration, which allows you to connect qualitative feedback with key segments in the Web traffic with minimal development. For example, Twiddy & Co., one of our success stories from Chapter 3, used an integration between Google Analytics and Kampyle to identify a frustrating disconnect between a print ad promoting a discount and an out-of-date product page."

  • Comment - There's something really odd here with the edits that expanded the article. It looks like they've been pulled from another article - Rumi. See the Childhood and emigration sections added here and compare to the same section in the Rumi article. Most (if not all) of that edit appears to be lifted from the Rumi article and Rumi changed to Taj. The copyvio report has some big hits, but I think those are all from the text copied from the Rumi article, which substantially predates this one (and appears to predate those reported possible copies). Ravensfire (talk) 20:00, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, Ravensfire above makes a very valid observation and I entirely agree with these concerns that the supposed "expansion" is nothing more than a prose lift from another article with the name changed where it appeared. Furthermore, the diff noted has clear evidence of the poor quality of the content being merged, with half-started or half-finished sentences and formatting issues arising from this clear violation of copyright. I would hope 4meter4 would retract their !vote in light of this. Even "expansion" edits before this which use credible references are relating to Rumi, but passed off as "Taj". There is no valid consensus to keep this and so i'd favour outright deletion or draftification at best. Bungle (talk • contribs) 08:55, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The current sources in the article are: A wayback link to Mark Evanier's personal blog, a dead link to a newspaper article that apparently just reprinted the joke, a review of an album containing a reference to the joke, two dead YouTube links, and a jokebook. While there are multiple hits on Google Books, all of them are either jokebooks that just reprint the joke, or works of fiction that use the joke. Not a single one of them discusses the joke's history or origins. Compare the sources in bar joke, which extensively discuss the earliest known origins of it, the common setup, and use literary sources on humor to expound on why the joke is such a standard. Similarly, every result on Newspapers.com was either just a reprint of the joke, or an episode title with "Klopman" in it. The first AFD was kept mostly per WP:ITEXISTS ("it existed before Mark Evanier wrote it into Garfield and Friends, therefore it's notable"). The two books cited as reasons to keep in the first AFD are one that only mentions it in passing, and one that just reprints the joke without commenting on it. The second AFD was kept per the now-404 newspaper article which I am now entirely unable to locate. These were in 2008 and 2010, and surely consensus has changed by now given that the state of sourcing has not improved.

But not only that, it's one of the about 10% of stocks listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange that's part of the S&P/TSX Composite Index - the primary index in the nation.

The result was merge to Calvin and Hobbes#Calvin's alter-egos. I would like to express my gratitude towards Daranios for their thorough effort at finding sources.

No out-of-universe notability asserted. There are no sources at all in the article, and I was unable to find any that did not originate from Watterson himself except for a few superficial mentions (less than a full sentence) in articles about Calvin and Hobbes. Neither Calvin nor Hobbes has his own article, so it makes zero sense for Spiff to have one. Redirect was contested with rationale of "take it to AFD". Previous AFD was in 2005, when rationales for keeping were vastly different than they are now. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 02:49, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect back to Calvin and Hobbes. The character is not independently notable (doesn't meet WP:GNG), and is not significant enough to merit a WP:SPINOFF. Just like Calvinball, transmogrifier, and many other wonderful parts of C&H, the content about Spaceman Spiff belongs in the the C&H article so the reader can read it in context. Spiff just isn't significant enough to merit being spun off onto a separate page. (Also the arguments about the 2005 AFD are as laughable as they are deceptive: this was a redirect from 2006, after the AFD, until 2019; and seriously, a 2005 AFD?? That's way too old to care about.) Levivich 18:07, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Responding to Daranios's ping below, I agree that at least this paper and this German book (AGFing that it's SIGCOV, as I don't speak German, but it sure looks like SIGCOV) count as GNG sources. Striking my !vote accordingly. This places Spaceman Spiff in WP:PAGEDECIDE territory. I'm still of the mind that the article should be merged and redirected because I think it's better to cover Spiff in the article about C&H rather than a WP:SPINOFF, and I think if we were to spinoff anything from the C&H article, it should be a sub-article about Calvin and a sub-article about Hobbes, but on the other hand, if someone wanted to spinoff Spiff first, that's permitted by our global consensus, and there's enough RS material to write an article about Spiff. So put me down for keep or redirect, either one is fine with me (not delete, though). Levivich[block] 14:09, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Calvin and Hobbes#Calvin's_alter-egos. A few more sentences could be added to the Spaceman Spiff entry there. I just don't see that the character is notable enough on their own. As for the 2005 AFD we could now have editor, who have children, that were children in 2005 (sorry for making everyone feel old), and a generation old AFD holding any weight is overly bureaucratic. - LCU ActivelyDisinterested transmissions °co-ords° 18:23, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and redirect. Spaceman Spiff has no existence independent of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, so there is no reason this can't receive appropriate coverage in that article. --Nicknack009 (talk) 09:48, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Here's yet another secondary source which has a good-sized paragraph on Spaceman Spiff: Comics Through Time: A History of Icons, Idols, and Ideas p. 928. It also tells us that the character had a history before Calvin, though, granted, those earlier strips don't seem to have been published. Another reason why treatment in a stand-alone article might be preferable is the sheer amount of material presented on Spaceman Spiff in secondary sources.

  • Merge to Calvin and Hobbes#Calvin's_alter-egos - As WP:NOPAGE describes, "There are other times when it is better to cover notable topics, that clearly should be included in Wikipedia, as part of a larger page about a broader topic, with more context." This would be one of those cases. While there are sources that demonstrate some notability of the topic, it would make much more sense to cover the topic in the main Calvin and Hobbes article rather than spinning it out into a separate article.

I nominated this article for uncontroversial proposed deletion a few months ago, but it did not qualify as I had already nominated the article beforehand years back. I should've read the criteria for WP:PROD more carefully, that's on me. Since that initial nomination I think I can now properly articulate why the article should be deleted: It is lacking in sources as the film has not received significant coverage. The only notable sourced aspect of the subject matter is the involvement of Leslie Neilson, which could be merged into his article. Otherwise, the subject matter fails to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines outlined in WP:MOVIE. The article on the Waterman web series has been deleted for similar reasons concerning a lack of sources. I did some searching and haven't been able to find additional sources outside of two citations from Google Books and this article, both related to Neilson.

I've emailed the author, but I'm not sure if she'll get back to me. In the meantime I'd recommend not mentioning this in her article until we have some proof of publication. Part of me wonders if this was an early title for her book Spellfall, which released in 2001. Perhaps it was promoted in another book under this old name and the editor assumed that it was a separate work? Her books also tend to be popular enough to where information is easy to find in some form or fashion, as they were widely published. It just seems unlikely that a book released at the start of her popularity would have zero information about it other than what's in the Wikipedia article.

Actually, that's not my reason for deletion. And yes, military intelligence might seem an oxymoron, but it is real with real secondary sources to support it. My reason here is that there is no such thing as "secular clergy" and I have good reason to believe this article is a hoax. If you think it's 'notable' please provide the necessaryWP:RS secondary sources that say the term refers to ordained members of the clergy. There are no independent sources that support the term 'secular clergy' nor do they describe, identify the titles or duties of this so-called secular clergy. A member of the lay ministry is never a member of the clergy anymore than an altar server would be. Clergy are ordained priests, especially given that none of the sources provided in the article mention such a category. Bodding (talk) 22:54, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bodding: I don't know if you're joking or what.

And I can put up a website that focuses on Catholicism and even call it a dot org, that doesn't make it a reliable source. Show me an independent source like The National Catholic Register or the New York Times religion section. That is fact checked and reliable. The term clergy is reserved for ordained priests. The laity, even the Lay ministers are never part of the clergy any more than altar servers are. They compliment the clergy they are not themselves ordained snd are not referred to as clergy. As in, Joe is a member of the lay ministry.' Lay ministry is the term used, not clergy. A diocesan priest is not a member of the secular community. He is a member of the clergy in the Catholic Church. Whether they live in a rectory or are wealthy enough to have their own homes, they are always and forever members of the Catholic clergy. They are never called 'secular clergy. Monks and nuns are called 'religious.' Monks are still ordained and are members of the Catholic clergy. John Paul II was as much a member of the clergy as Padre Pio a Capuchin monk. Neither was called secular. Bodding (talk) 01:31, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
John Paul II was a member of the secular clergy. The distinction between types clergy is secular and religious; religious meaning those who are in a religious order and taken vows and commonly live in a monastic cloister, and secular those who have not taken such vows and "live in the world". Being "secular" has nothing to do with the lay state in this context. As a diocesan priest, I am a member of the secular clergy. John Paul II, as a cleric of the Archdiocese of Krakow, was a member of the secular clergy. Padre Pio, as a vowed Franciscan, was a member of the religious clergy. here are a few peer-reviewed articles that talk about secular clergy in such a way - as well as the aforementioned church law that uses the term. You're simply incorrect. Words can be used in equivocal ways, and "secular," while in the context of people in general would perhaps mean a layperson, in the context of "clergy" means a clergyman who has not taken monastic vows. It is the technical term in this usage and is correct. I'm sorry. ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 02:12, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
John Paul II was a diocesan priest. That's what this article should be about. The differences between religious groups that are independent and diocesan priests that go to seminary. This term and very poor quality of this article, the total lack of reliable sources, should in itself have it deleted. At the very least, it should be moved to a the more inclusive diocesan term and the current edits that totally lack reliable sources should be removed. The article is littered with notices to that effect. Don't argue for the sake of arguing. Show me a reliable source and not the websites that anybody can put up. Bonafide published articles about the subject. A diocesan priest goes to seminary, he is Ordained into the priest, he does take vows of celibacy. He does not live in a community like monks. He lives at the rectory of his parish church where he is assigned by the Archdiocese. That should all be explained, but it is not. The title is misleading. You are describing a slang term more than an actual official title. Diocesan clergy, not secular clergy. Bodding (talk) 02:48, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My brother in Christ, I have now twice linked you to the Catholic Church's Code of Canon Law which clearly uses the term in a technical manner. Not slang. I have also linked three peer-reviewed articles, two from JSTOR, that use the term. The fact that you would say a phrase like "religious groups that are independent and diocesan priests that go to seminary" that is frankly nonsensical or state that a diocesan priest takes "vows" (which only religious priests do) shows you're out of your element when discussing this topic. There are also secular clergy who are not diocesan; such as the members of Opus Dei (cf. Code of Canon Law 294, regarding personal prelatures and secular clergy). Swallow your pride. You're incorrect. ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 02:58, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We've now linked to a number of reliable sources. It is not a slang term when the world's premier publishers use the term. Yes, "diocesan" priest is very common today, but that doesn't mean "secular" clergy or priest is incorrect. --Johnnygoesmarchinghome (talk) 03:03, 27 June 2022 (UTC)Johnnygoesmarchinghome Talk[reply]
They all follow rules. Diocesan priests must take vows of celibacy, just like monks. Diocesan priests are under the aegis of the Vatican. and are considered official members of the clergy. Whereas, "religious" are independent. If anybody is secular it's them. They must seek approval to function. They all take vows, they all adhere to rules, and they are all ordained. I think the confusion is with the Lay ministry, and not the priesthood. They all must be celibate, take vows, recognize the Pope and adhere to the oversight of the Vatican. A man who goes to the seminary and is ordained is automatically under the aegis of the Catholic Church. All religious, on the other hand, must seek that approval to form and maintain their collectives and must adhere to the rules of the Catholic Church, just like the Diocesan priests. Bodding (talk) 03:16, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodding: Actually, not all diocesan priests must take a vow of celibacy. Previously married priests in the Latin Church and married secular Eastern Catholic priests are not bound by those regulations. Please, you are very, very wrong. Retract and move on or risk looking worse. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:22, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Married men who seek entry to the priesthood are the exception. If they enter the priesthood as single men, they must remain single and celibate. It is not the practice of the Church to seek married men, but it will make an exception for them under certain circumstances. Bodding (talk) 03:26, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Secular clergy make promises of simplicity, celibacy, and obedience. Religious take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. There is a difference both in the action (promise vs. vow) and the content of the action (celibacy vs. chastity, simplicity vs. poverty). The fundamental difference between secular clergy and religious clergy is that secular clergy do not make vows and are not "in religion." Moreover, religious priests are just as much "official members of the clergy" and under the "aegis of the Vatican" as I am. ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 03:33, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodding: At this point, it is way off-topic, considering you're not even engaging with the...ten-ish sources you've been given. But, to humor you, yes: the Catholic Church does seek married men for vocations to the secular priesthood. The Eastern Churches will seek them out, and so will the personal ordinariates for former Anglicans (yet another instance where "secular" rather than "diocesan" is the appropriate term for the clergy) ~ Pbritti 03:31, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Pbritti: Try as you might to demean me with the Twitter insult and now you're going to "humor me," does not deflect from the fact that I've been nothing but civil and have consistently presented explanations. I've also offered a solution in simply moving the page to Diocesan priest and adding in reliable sources to the term. In Canon Law, I can find no specific reference to 'secular regulars' or "canon secular." Religious are a very different class and the article could become the difference between the two. The use of 'secular' could be stated as "Diocesan priests, also referred to as 'secular clergy,' with the Canon law reference for the use of that term. Bodding (talk) 04:16, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodding Not all religious are ordained, such as religious brothers and sisters (frequently called monks and nuns in common parlance). The comments on this page so far have used the word "Diocesan" 18 times but there is not an article for "Diocesan priests" because the correct term is "Secular Clergy" Ante annum (talk) 03:36, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"religious" refers to monks and sisters. The sisters are not ordained, but they do indeed take vows. and yes, Monks are ordained. All of them. Max Kolbe, Padre Pio, to name two. All took the vows of celibacy, all were granted the right to consecrate the Host, conduct the Mass, hear confessions and absolve sins, and all may administer the sacraments of the Church including baptism, first holy communion, confirmation, and weddings. Sisters are granted permission, just like monks. to form a collective and follow the rules of the Catholic Church. They all honor the vow of celibacy. Bodding (talk) 04:06, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodding: No, not all monks: they're called "lay brothers." You clearly do not understand this topic as much as you believe you do. Please, just accept that. We want to have you edit productively on here, but your comments here are incorrect and contribute to a deleterious understanding of Christian clerical groupings. ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:11, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, they are married men and may not live at the monastery. They can remain in their homes. I've met several lay Capuchin brothers but that is an entirely different class of relgious. Do not conflate religious with diocesan. They are separate. Bodding (talk) 04:20, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodding: You are still (very) wrong, see lay Carmelite monks here. You have not been civil in the way you think you have. Instead of actually examining sources, you've wasted time by proposing a delete on the basis that this was a hoax. Instead of admitting the error, you doubled- and tripled-down and ignored the sources three editors provided that demonstrated this is a more encompassing term than "diocesan priests" once you started trying to change the topic to that. This will be my last message on the topic. Please, consider letting this loss go. ~ 04:24, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Carmelites do not receive Holy Orders and are not ordained. This is not a legitimate equivalency to other lay brothers as the Carmelites are not married with families. They are single men and they are cloistered. This is a very different type of "lay monk." Being cloistered, their lives on centered on prayer, not administering the sacraments, thus they do not receive Holy Orders. Bodding (talk) 04:33, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Correct. Carmelites are monks who many are not ordained (some are). You just said that all monks are ordained. You are out of your element in talking about this, I am sorry. here, once again, is the Code of Canon Law explicitly referencing secular clerics. ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 04:45, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please note, Carmelite Lay Monks are an entirely different class as they are cloistered.

Actually I haven't misunderstood. I'm simply referring to the commonly used terms Diocesan and Religious where the former attend seminaries under the aegis of the Archdiocese. They become priests after a time of post-graduate service as a deacon in a parish. They are typically assigned to the area under that Archdiocese can be moved to any other Archdiocese if needs are greater there or there is a legal issue pending that requires removal.
Where as religious have formed their own group known as an Order without any direct oversight by an Archdiocese. But after a time, must petition to be recognized in order that they may receive Holy Orders and be ordained as priests. However, as was earlier pointed out, some Religious prefer to serve as lay brothers because they seek to become cloistered and live a life of prayer. Sisters are always considered Religious and form their order, and are approved, in the same way. Each of the orders has stages one must pass through before final vows can be taken. Sisters also take Holy vows to serve and remain celibate. All groups, Diocesan and Religious, remain single and celibate. However, devout married men and widowed women may also join the Orders. Married men typically seek to be Diocesan for practical purposes. Bodding (talk) 13:52, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You were misunderstading the meaning of secular, as you nomination statement and your reply to Maproom (the first "keep" registered above) indicate. Deor (talk) 15:40, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If your issue is "I'm simply referring to the commonly used terms Diocesan and Religious," then you you seem to be suggesting the title be changed to "diocesan clergy." If that is what you are suggesting, the debate might be close as "diocesan" seems more common is informal parlance while "secular" is the more formal term. Right now "diocesan clergy" and "diocesan priest" redirect to "secular clergy." However, given that hundreds of thousands of people around the world have the official job title of "secular clergy," seems to be a non-starter as far as notability as that is so obviously notable as to be ridiculous. >> M.P.Schneider,LC (parlemus • feci) 14:01, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is so evidently notable given the references above and the hundreds of thousands of people with this job title. Also, in his last comment user:Bodding seemed to suggest what is looking for is a name change to "diocesan clergy": although I think "secular clergy" is likely still best, that is a much more reasonable suggestion as that term is often used & is currently a redirect. If he wants to do that, he should withdraw this removal request and instead start a debate about a name change on its talk page about changing the name. I am a religious priest but I know secular priests too. >> M.P.Schneider,LC (parlemus • feci) 14:06, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Clearly a notable and well-used term. @Bodding:'s request Show me a source from the National Catholic Register is an unreasonable standard and not supported by policy, but is nevertheless easily satisfied:
  1. ... an effort to tamp down the acrimony between the secular clergy and the new mendicant orders [40]
  2. Today, Thomas Becket is among the best known medieval saints, and is venerated as protector of the secular clergy in England. [41]
  3. ... then the monks and friars, then the secular clergy, each wearing the insignia of their rank,... [42]

Keep - and I think I detect snow in June. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:59, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A well-attested term ('first used in the 12th cent' - The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church)[1] One should note that 'secular' and 'spiritual' are neither opposites nor incompatible categories.-- Verbarson  talkedits 09:46, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per all the above. Bodding, please just accept you're wrong on this one. This is a very old and valid term, whether you think it's weird terminology (and it is, obviously) or not. And claiming that sources like the Catholic Encyclopedia are not reliable is just ridiculous. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:53, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
