Delete, fails WP:NSCHOOL. Jewish education should probably be the target but there isn't anything to add from this article. An article related to Jewish education in Canada could potentially be more appropriate as there is enough source for that, should pass WP:GNG relatively comfortably. Tayi Arajakate (talk) 10:43, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- The relevant part of WP:NSCHOOL says
...middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must satisfy either this guideline (WP:ORG) or the general notability guideline, or both.
Since this is left to interpretation, I would argue that the Courier reference satisfies WP:GNG (namely having significant, reliable and independent coverage), since discussion there about the Shannon Park Annex /Vancouver Hebrew School is more than trivial but less than the main focus. Since NSCHOOL leaves its requirements up to interpretation, my take on it is that we needn't require the full-blown WP:ORG requirements, which were written (it seems to me) to enforce WP:COI and WP:PROMOTIONAL tone in organizations, because there is no semblance of any of that in the article itself nor in the references, it being only a bare bones school article/stub. This also removes the thorny issue of where to redirect. StonyBrook (talk) 00:41, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Keep. A quick look at Google News finds plenty of good sources. The article needs expansion, not deletion. Yoninah (talk) 12:56, 18 February 2020 (UTC)Change !vote to Delete. I spent some time digging up sources and cannot even find the history of the school, much less articles dedicated to it. The only thing that comes up is that it's the only Orthodox Jewish day school in Vancouver. It's listed in History of the Jews in Vancouver; that's enough. Yoninah (talk) 22:05, 27 February 2020 (UTC)- Delete per WP:NSCHOOL. --BonkHindrance (talk) 15:38, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

- Merge with article
Vancouver School BoardHistory of the Jews in Vancouver. StonyBrook, my primary concern is that the article if left will just be a WP:PERMASTUB. The Vancouver Courier article is only mentioning it in the context of a motion in the Vancouver School Board. I'd call it sheer luck the school got a mention in the way it did there. Other than that, it has some coverage due to it hosting Ben Shapiro once but there doesn't seem to be much that can be derived about the school from that. Though, I would say that with the information that is present in the article currently, it can be merged. Tayi Arajakate Talk 04:50, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- Assuming you are correct that it is a "Permastub", what is your point? The essay doesn't have an issue with them unless they are "problematic", but what is problematic or unsatisfying about a currently operating day school? I don't see the justification for a merge with Vancouver School Board either since the two entities do not seem to share any affiliation, except for the leasing agreement for the annex space. StonyBrook (talk) 05:19, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- I would revert any mention of a private school from a school district article on sight. There is 0 relationship between the two entities. School districts sell or lease out of use facilities to private school operators all the time (what else do you do with a used school). Target for redirect is completely unacceptable. John from Idegon (talk) 23:03, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- StonyBrook The school just isn't notable. It very clearly does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NORG. The point of the permastub is that, it has near no significant coverage on its own merits. Tayi Arajakate Talk 00:26, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

These do not seem to exist. No non-Wikipedia results in English, and machine-translation of the few Persian sources in the articles does not corroborate any of the information supposedly contained therein. None of the Persian-language sources even mentions "Afshin Moghaddam" nor the alleged Persian translation of his name at any point. If deleted, add to Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia as this has been around since 2014. While Afshin Moghaddam does seem to exist, the Parviz_Maghsadi_band and the two songs listed underneath do not seem to actually exist, per @Crossroads:' analysis that all three are the work of a serial hoaxer who's been banned from both English and Farsi Wikipedias. The sources cited, upon machine translation, do not even mention the supposed content and are patently hoaxes. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:55, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

The latter three articles were all created by and are essentially the sole work of Amirhosein Izadi, a WP:SNEAKY cross-wiki hoaxer who also dabbled in sockpuppetry and has been indefinitely blocked in the Farsi and English Wikipedias. Read all about it in this ANI thread. Those latter three articles are thus completely untrustworthy. The first article, Afshin Moghaddam, is a different situation, as Amirhosein Izadi has had relatively little involvement in it. I have removed his additions which promoted his created articles which are likely hoaxes.

Keep– The subject is notable although the article itself needs to be rewritten, but this could also be a redirect to some section on Health system with {{r with possibilities}}. The economics of privatization and private health care as a way to expand health care in developing countries are widely discussed [3][4][5][6][7]. There is nothing in the current article that would be salvageable when someone does finally rewrite it. – Thjarkur (talk) 00:16, 27 February 2020 (UTC)- The subject is certainly notable.

- Keep: per WP:NEXIST. Markovia has played a role in both the Arrowverse shows and a DC animated series, and when comic book stuff shows up in movies and TV shows, there's coverage in the film/pop culture press. Viewers look for background information on the adaptations, so this article has value for our readers. These are the sources I've found:

Even the ones about the live action series are basically just "Markovia was mentioned in this episode - here is the fictional history of the country". Searching for additional sources also just turns up plot and/or trivial mentions.

It might be argued that she competed in the Miss World 2007 pageant, but placing 18th is two shy of of the listed top 16 for any notability.

A possible un-notable company with only local sources and blog articles as support of WP:GNG, with factual accuracy which is disputed.

- There is no explanation of what factual accuracy is disputed. There are seven independent references and there are more out there. Rathfelder (talk) 21:19, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I can't see the OTRS ticket, so I'm not sure what the complaint is about, but if I were Dr. Keen, or in any way affiliated with NowMedical, I'd like to have it removed. It's not exactly flattering. The sources aren't great, but I don't think they're libelous or defamatory, which would be a reason to (immediately) delete it. Looking at the sources; bracknellnews.co.uk has A "Send us your news" feature, https://www.bracknellnews.co.uk/send-us-your-news/ BUT claims to adhere to the Independent Press Standards Organisation's Editors' Code of Practice. Their article was written by Ollie Sirrell, who works for newsquest.co.uk, which says about itself "We employ experienced marketing consultants throughout the UK that help local businesses promote their products and services to local audiences." If the subject was another cryptocurrency company, I'd be pretty quick to dismiss that as an unreliable source. OpenDemocracy's article was written by Clare Sambrook, a novelist & investigative journalist. The article for thebureauinvestigaes was written by Maeve McClenaghan, who appears to be a reliable investigative journalist. The Islington Gazette looks like an independent, relibale source to me. The author, Lucas Cumiskey has an email address at archant.co.uk, which is dodgy; "we help businesses enter and succeed in their chosen markets through marketing services". Again, if this was an article about some startup, I would not trust that source. nicholasnicol.uk is clearly a blog. So is nearlylegal.co.uk. The Hackney Citizen's article was written by Ed Sheridan who is bylinead as the Local Democracy Reporter for the Islington citizen and the Camden citizen as well. I'm not super-impressed by the sources, but I see no reason to dismiss them as factually inaccurate. The article in the independent is clearly significant coverage in an independent, reliable source. Vexations (talk) 02:46, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- The sources are not wonderful, but there is no obvious conflict of interest, and the real source of most of them is The Bureau of Investigative Journalism which is reasonably respectable, but the local papers are following up the implications of their story. But I've now found a much fuller report in the Independent. Rathfelder (talk) 15:11, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

- Comment/Request As I can see the OTRS ticket I'm going to ask that this be relisted. The letter to OTRS provides specific claims as to why available sources do not establish notability which are loosely of the kind of analysis which is typical at an AfD discussion. This analysis cannot be posted here without permission so I am going to ask for that permission. If granted it would allow a chance for uninvolved editors to discuss whether they do or don't meet our qualifications. If not granted then consensus above hasn't really changed. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:16, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
Relisting comment: I too have reviewed the OTRS ticket, and see decent cause to relist at this time. I would like to see extra involvement from people not directly involved in writing the article, and also think this will allow time for a response permitting some details from the ticket to be shared here. I do suggest future participants of this discussion comment on the notability of this company, and whether the current angle of the article is adhering enough to WP:DUE (especially with consideration that living people are discussed in the article).

- The following was sent in by the lawyers representing NowMedical. It arrived on February 28th but was only routed to me a short time ago.
Notability
NowMedical is a small, private business with six employees. It provides non-binding medical opinions to assist local authorities and the UKBA in making decisions on social housing and an individual's ability to leave the UK respectively. Pursuant to Wikipedia’s Policy, NowMedical is “a very small”, “local” company and is not sufficiently notable to warrant its own page.Inaccuracies/Defamatorv Allegations
No “fit to fly” language is used in NowMedical reports. These are directed only at the statutory test ofwhether an individual is “unable to leave the UK”.NowMedical’s doctors are not required, by law or their regulators, to physically examine a patient to provide the opinions sought. NowMedical does not diagnose, or challenge diagnoses of, patients. It provides opinions based on medical records provided, as to whether that patient’s medical condition meets the relevant statutory test. A physical examination would add nothing to this opinion. This approach is corroborated by the English courts and General Medical Council.
NowMedical advised Haringey council that the child was in “medical need” and moving to ground floor accommodation was optimal. As such accommodation in London is scarce, NowMedical suggested that a different first floor flat may be a suitable alternative and enable a quicker move.
Sources
The Islington Tribune, Hackney Citizen, Islington Gazette and Bracknell News are “media of limited interest and circulation” and should not be relied on when assessing notability.The Independent, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism and Open Democracy articles each contain defamatory allegations and substantial inaccuracies. All are the subject of legal complaints. They do not satisfy Wikipedia’s reliability criterion.
Nearly Legal is a self-published blog written by a housing law firm partner. As a practitioner in housing law he holds a vested interest in discrediting NowMedical and stands to financially benefit from legal challenges to local authority decisions. He is not an independent contributor.
Nicolas Nicol’s blog is self-published. He is not “unrelated with no vested interest in the company”. As a barrister, he acts against local authorities who have made
decisions involving NowMedical opinions and is incentivised to contribute to the misleading narratives in the local media.
I post this without comment or opinion merely for consideration by other editors as part of this discussion. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:20, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- This does not show that the company is not notable, rather the reverse. These issues should be addressed in the article. Rathfelder (talk) 14:45, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete On the contrary, the OTRS ticket does not substantiate that there is any notable controversy. It does substantiate that there is a possible serious BLP issue and which should not be ignored. The only source that substantiates that this issue has created significant coverage in RS is the Independent, which fails to substantiate that there is any wrongdoing involved. Other sources are local smalltime press and a lobbying group. The article as written paints the BLP subject's actions in a negative light and that requires better coverage than currently exists. If the controversy later generates further significant coverage in RS than it can be re-created but BLP requires removal of most of the information. The amount of BLP-compliant information remaining is not worth having an article for and does not comply with GNG. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 20:47, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
- This article is about a company, not a person. The question is not how good the article is. The question is whether the company has coverage. Coverage in local press is relevant because the coverage is of contracts the company has with individual local councils. Rathfelder (talk) 00:02, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Rathfelder:: WP:BLP
...applies to all material about living persons anywhere on Wikipedia
including articles about organizations. "The article is about a company" is not a loophole for BLP-violating information or attack pages. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 00:22, 6 March 2020 (UTC)- BLP applies everywhere. However, because this is about a company and not a person, can there be a policy compliant version of this company? If so its notability - or not - should stand on its own. If the company can only be covered in ways which would violate our BLP policy then that should impact whether or not we have an article at all. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 00:40, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Barkeep49:, I have difficulty believing that a compliant version is possible. The only source of notability is the accusations sourced almost entirely to non-RS. The company is very closely related to the doctor and, even assuming all the coverage is correct, seems to be mostly a practice name rather than an organization with a significant staff. This makes separating the company's actions from the person's actions fuzzy at best. Thanks for posting the OTRS complaint for examination. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 03:28, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- There are two mentions of Dr Keen. First that he started the company and second that he sent a report without seeing a patient. Neither appear to be disputed. This is not “a very small”, “local” company. It provides services to a very large number of local authorities. The contracts with those councils are discussed in their local papers, as you would expect. Some of the critical coverage is based on court judgements. Also discussed in local papers. One council defends the company and that is included in the article. The lawyers do not appear to be disputing any of the contents, merely saying that the criticism is unfair. It may be, but that doesnt make it libellous. Rathfelder (talk) 07:56, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. The Independent, at least, is a reliable source providing substantial coverage. That NowMedical disagrees with its reporting does not make it less reliable. Also, contra Eggishorn, whether the allegation made in The Independent or elsewhere have merit or not has nothing to do with whether the paper is reliable or the company is notable. Coverage for false allegations is still coverage. Together with the other sources, I think the notability bar is passed here. Sandstein 09:57, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Yet another non-notable Philippines radio station stub. This was accepted by Robert McClenon from AFC but I'm afraid I see no indication that this passes WP:GNG or WP:BROADCAST.

Draftify Fails WP:SIGCOV. A Google search for "2021 Supercars Championship" -wikipedia.org brought up just over 100 results, and most appeared to be blogs, forums, and the like. There simply isn't enough evidence to suggest that this is already considered a notable event. However, previous races of this type most certainly are notable, so I believe it is simply a matter of time. I suggest keeping this as a draft until more reliable sources can be found to back up the information in the article as well as to establish notability. --PuzzledvegetableIs it teatime already? 18:49, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Delete: This is probably the best part as it's way too soon to see what the fallout of this is going to be with the removal of Holden.

- Comment, I reckon with WAU no longer driving Commodores in 2021, it may start up a flow on effect, with other teams potentially switching manufacturers. This has also seen Gen3 being push forward to 2021, as what Sean Seamer, Supercars CEO, has said. But that being said, it's possible for Opel to return to Australia, meaning that some Commodores may be simply re-badged as Opels. I don't think it's WP:TOOSOON, but more of a watch and wait sort of thing. Because who knows who will jump from Holden next? Hiflex480 (talk) 03:46, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Fails WP:LISTN and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. A confusing set of articles, and although I am sure the article creator acted in good faith, they are redundant. Despite the title of the articles, the lists originally contained lists of songs the creator deemed the most notable from each decade of Indian films, all of which was OR and completely unsourced. Other editors have removed these song lists, because they didn't match up to the title of the article, leaving them simply as ten lines of links to articles for List of Tamil films of (year). This effectively makes the article a navbox, and there is already a navbox for this purpose at Template:Tamil cinema. There is a reason why films (and other media) are listed by year rather than decade, it would make the article too long – these articles are simply redundant. I think these probably don't qualify for A3 speedy deletion. Richard3120 (talk) 19:28, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

- It's a list of lists, and the others have the same misleading format, e.g. List of Mexican films of the 1940s, so yes they should be renamed List of lists of xxx films of the nnnns. (P.S. I didn't say it was a particularly useful aid.) Clarityfiend (talk) 20:35, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Most of those articles are fine as they are as they are a list of films over that decade, they are short enough that separation by year is not required. Technically these articles up for deletion are lists of lists, instead of lists. Ajf773 (talk) 20:22, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

This is a fork from the main 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak article. Half of it repeats what's at Misinformation related to the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak. The remainder lumps together two very different things, which could come under other articles. It's barely getting any editing attention, unlike all the other coronavirus articles. WP:CRIT argues against having "Controversies of..." articles. Let's delete this and any useful text can be moved elsewhere. Bondegezou (talk) 19:24, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Controversies only somewhat related, and some of them are probably WP:UNDUE to be mentioned in an article, like the rather bizarre one included comparing the incorrectly assumed Wuhan lab logo to the Resident Evil franchise. Hog Farm (talk) 20:30, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment This is a ragtag collection of incidences related to the Covid-19 outbreak, some of them speculations and should probably be placed under the misinformation article, and it's too early to tell if the Olympics will be controversial. Probably only one item listed can be considered a true controversy, putting the rest under controversies may be WP:OR. However, I think a controversy article may be warranted if there are sufficient content and enough coverage of such controversies, and I can think of a couple of things not listed that might be considered controversial, but as it is, there isn't sufficient content. Deletion is possible, but I also think a redirect is worth considering. Hzh (talk) 22:15, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Controversy as a separate page is awkward and no one knows which fit in misinformation and which fit in controversy.

- @Julieprus: you should vote keep with your comment if you want her article to remain. Can you find more sources in Polish? DiamondRemley39 (talk) 14:13, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Julieprus: I like it is not valid. Being talented is not criteria for inclusion. It’s about general notability guidelines. ⌚️ (talk) 21:25, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. I'm seeing coverage in W Magazine, Harpers Bazaar (blog, but one meeting WP:RS) and the UK Telegraph. It is admittedly challenging to use a search engine to find material about her that is not primarily about her fugitive father, but it does seem to be out there if one takes the time to sift. TJRC (talk) 01:55, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- @TJRC: That W wasted so many words to say how her father gave her her first role as a child before throwing in a sentence about Vikings in the end is exactly what I’m talking about. And two more sources doing the same thing. Going on and on about anecdotes with her father but nothing special about her own career. Nothing about that is in the realm of independent notability. ⌚️ (talk) 02:06, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. In addition to coverage in publications, one should look at the list of movies where she played a role. At least three of them are famous, even if she did not play any of main characters. She also played main character in a major TV series. All of that combined makes her passable. My very best wishes (talk) 03:07, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep: There are quite a few articles out there which discuss the subject. Though you'll be hard-pressed to find an article that doesn't mention her father, I don't see this as detrimental to WP:GNG, since she is being discussed in her own right as an up-and-coming actress. If anything, it might be a little soon for an article on her, but, since the nominated issue is sourcing, I think notability is made out. Dflaw4 (talk) 03:33, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - she payed a fairly major character on a French TV show. Talent has nothing, I add, to influence notability; we have articles on many bad actors and films. Bearian (talk) 20:46, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. She appears to have enough notability and coverage as an actress in multiple shows and/or movies, and not just as a famous person's daughter. I believe that deleting would be futile, because considering the output and coverage she already has, and assuming she continues to work in similarly distributed and heralded film/TV, she will only continue to maintain, perhaps increase, her notability at least as an actress.

- Keep per sources presented by Cryptic. Most Supreme Court cases are notable and this is no exception. buidhe 18:21, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Cryptic. In its current state, the article would surely meet with even the most hard-shelled deletionist's approval. But even the article had remained unimproved since the nom, this would still not be an appropriate use of the deletion process. There is simply no way that a present-day decision from the US Supreme Court would fail to garner enough coverage to pass the GNG with flying colors. Thus, even for those who subscribe to the widespread-on-AFD but inaccurate belief that the GNG creates a free-standing basis for deletion, there was never going to be such a basis for deletion here. So absent some sort of hoax, this was always just going to be a cleanup issue. And even when nominated, the article had ample sourcing to show that it was not a hoax. -- Visviva (talk) 22:49, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - A single blog website and a primary source link are hardly "ample". Even in its current sources the only WP:RS are websitez that regurgitate and/or house primary source texts. Turning primary sources into article content is WP:SYNTH and Original Research. The only non-blog, non-OR submissions presented are articles that mention incidential details but lack the depth needed to verify the claims being made. Given that the article contains BLP material (eg the full name, personally identifying information, and a perhaps needlessly detailed criminal history of an otherwise non-notable private individual), it is impportant IMHO to be stringent in applying Wikipedia standards of verifiability and reliable sourcings. Michepman (talk) 23:28, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- SCOTUSblog is a Peabody-award winning journalistic outfit, and it is run by Tom Goldstein, a Harvard law professor who specialized in Supreme Court litigation. I think that it should qualify as a reliable source. Omanlured (talk) 14:27, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- And WP:RSN agrees. Also: in what possible world are those primary sources? —Cryptic 14:36, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- For one, those threads are fairly out of date and only mention the blog tangentially. They would be acarcely enough to establish a local consensus as to notability, let alone a sitewide one. For two, several of the other sources are really just links to the legal case in question and are being used as "sources" for the editor's own personal interpretation. The editor needs to find RELIABLE, SECONDARY sources and cannot rely on WP:LINKSPAM to paper over the thinness. Michepman (talk) 00:25, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

- Keep This is Wikipedia and wiki publishing at its best, and an important public service. The reason cited for deletion -- "there is currently no epidemic in France" -- seems like an agenda of censorship. 2:21 28 February — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.52.207.45 (talk) 07:22, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

- KEEP! This article by far is better than any other similar articles such as 2020 coronavirus outbreak in the United States or 2020 coronavirus outbreak in Italy which does not go into detailed information (such as source, origin, status, etc.) about the victims and patients of the outbreak. On the contrary, this article does! So why do you have to delete the better article while keeping the poorly updated/outdated one? —SquidHomme (talk) 11:28, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep without question. This article now undergo major expansion as time progress. There are not reason to delete that notable article. Arguments about there is no epidemic in France is false and hoax. ~Nick~ is not understand the actual situation in France that now have 41 cases in the country. Is this cases isn't epidemic? No way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.1.28.78 (talk) 12:12, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

According to Praxidicae all references provided here non-notable such as ANI News, Yahoo!, Alexa, Blasting News. But i can see clearly all these websites are notable and trusted even listed on Wikipedia. User Praxidicae also claimed followers on Facebook page are fake. How is it possible all 6.3 million followers are fake that indicates Facebook running a fake business of its fake users, is it so? Now my comment for Theceomagazine: It is not a fake website it has a registered office in New Delhi, India.) Slowthin (talk) 06:14, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- Ceo magazine is pay for publishing spammy nonsense. The sources you cite as lending notability are press releases, stats, not coverage, another press release, a site know well for it's lack of truthful reporting, not reliable and not coverage.Praxidicae (talk) 15:13, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- You have not answered my all questions in the above comment. However i am explaining further for your comments: It seems like you want to prove yourself true by removing content from Blasting News. 1200+ Alexa Global ranking is itself a good notability factor of the company. Asian News International is not a press release website. Newstrend is a news website which is a good resource in itself. It is not an e-commerce website selling goods and products. And most importantly you must not ignore my point that it has 6.3 million followers which is again a good notability factor (According to you these are irrelevant).Slowthin (talk) 07:19, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- No, alexa is not coverage and it's just stats. As far as Blasting News - I removed incorrect, unsourced content as per policy. You should re-read the ANI source, specificall the end where it's content by NEWSVOIR, a press release publishing service. Praxidicae (talk) 13:37, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, Alexa is not a coverage but here Alexa.com is referenced to justify its Global ranking. And again you ignored my point that it has 6.3 million followers which is enough to justify its notability. And it is one of the top 10 most popular websites for receiving huge traffic. And most importantly it is a news website, it doesn't need more references to justify its notability.Slowthin (talk) 08:22, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

- buidhe has no valid point according to Wikipedia Guidelines. What do you understand by Alexa ranking? And What do you understand by 6.3 million followers. This website has 1042 Global Alexa rank that shows this website has a huge traffic which is an indication of its notability. And this is a news website not a product selling e-commerce. These points are enough to justify its notability.Slowthin (talk) 05:28, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

- Weak Keep - I would not argue with anyone who cites the WP:TOOSOON standard, but these guys have made the hip hop news for a couple of high-profile collaborations with Lil Jon and Carnage. They tend to be merely introduced in these sources but the sources (like XXL, Hot New Hip Hop, Vents, etc.) are viable in themselves. They also have a starter profile at AllMusic. They would benefit from some more coverage that is specifically about them in detail, but I think there may be enough for a stub article now. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:59, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Delete per WP:POLOUTCOMES. My understanding of the consensus is that, absent significant coverage, mayors of even medium-sized cities like this subject are not automatically notable.

- Comment Bearian I don't understand your comment:
"even medium-sized cities like this subject"
. The subject was an advocate (lawyer), AITUC/CITU trade unionist, writer and CPI(M) candidate, solely applying NPOL is not appropriate here. He was deemed worthy enough of attention to be imprisoned during the Emergency. His prison diary is a notable text held in multiple libraries. The difficulty is that the vast majority of text concerning him is in Malayali, but that is not a limit to his notability.--Goldsztajn (talk) 09:12, 23 February 2020 (UTC)- Goldsztajn, None of those common posts merit an article. FYI, According to Amnesty International, 140,000 people had been arrested during the twenty months of emergency. I am sure you don't mean that all these are fit to get an article. ⋙–DBigXrayᗙ 12:37, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

- Goldsztajn, As you can see I have not yet made up my mind on this AfD and still sitting on the fence. I wanted to point the obvious thing that came to my mind after reading your comment. Being a popular activist or a notable author does merit an article but someone needs to establish this that he is a cut above the rest. ⋙–DBigXrayᗙ 12:47, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

I must also add, nowhere does it state or has been argued that he was a mayor of anywhere, so I do not understand what Bearian is alluding to.

Because photographers are so common, we tend to be especially cautious at AfD. The inability to source peacock-y claims from reliable sources is suspicious. 21:00, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Apart from the one relatively short review in Next Generation (which is apparently for a Nintendo 64 version, not a PC game), there appears to have been written next to nothing about this game, even though it has been released for PC and Iphone and the like.

- Delete - I performed a WP:BEFORE check on this as well, and came up finding that this failed our criteria. There are not enough reliable sources covering this subject significantly, almost all press articles are stating he is in lineups and are passing mentions... Everything else appears to be either PR coverage, primary sourcing, or lacking in significance. If there are other sources, I'd be happy to see them.

Seems to fail GNG. Disputed prod, disputed WP:SOFTDELETE redirect (to To Lucky, which was reverted). The editor who disputed both did add a merge proposal, but it is incomplete (no rationale) and there is no referenced content to merge anyway. No ja interwiki for this mascot (Lucky), a mention in To Lucky is enough. Given the lengthy ja wiki article about To Lucky, I am not convinced that one needs to be merged to Hanshin Tigers, it seems like it just needs to be expanded, but what I am pretty certain is that there is no need to split a mascot pair into two articles, and that this one (Lucky) is not even in need of SOFTDELETE, given lack of useful content, and the fact that SOFTDELETE was disputed anyway.

- Merge both to Hanshin Tigers. Interestingly, the third character who is supposed to be her little brother does have a page on the Japanese Wikipedia (ja:キー太). Here, I am not sure that merging the female character to the male character is a very progressive approach. Although you didn't like the idea, I think merging both to Hanshin Tigers is probably in order. There is not too much prose there, and both mascots have no notability independent of the club. It was mentioned that the Japanese Wikipedia article for To Lucky is fairly long, but it's not got a lot of real content. It's things like "To Lucky can take off his hat and wave it to the crowd or have it fall off when doing backflips, Lucky barely ever takes off her hat in front of people. However, pictures exist in which her hat is coming off.... Rarely, To Lucky takes off his uniform and does an impression of Antonio Inoki in wrestling tights.... To Lucky and Lucky used to have spikes on with Asics patterns, but this was changed to the sponsor Mizuno when the uniforms changed in 2012." All uncited, not the kind of stuff to base an article on here. Dekimasuよ! 12:54, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

- It's much like being arrested for burglary and telling the police: "do you realize I was pushed out of the house by the owner?" You prodded this as part of your mass prods. Three days later this was undone. Immediately you put on a notability template, then redirected the entire article without a proper discussion. Who put you in charge?

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Fails WP:GNG with lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent sources. The biggest issue is that it fails the guideline WP:WHYN, namely that multiple sources are needed so that we can write a fair and balanced article that complies with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy ...
Otherwise, editors will just cherry-pick facts from routine coverage in recaps of individual games, as opposed to independent sources that look at the rivalry as a whole. Moreover, routine coverage liberally uses the term rivalry to manufacture hype. This appears to be the case for a brief span in the early 2010s when Derrick Rose was at his prime with the Bulls. At this point, it looks like calling this a significant "rivalry" is WP:OR. —Bagumba (talk) 08:51, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm nominating the lists of Big Brother housemates for deletion or merger, seasons 1–5, 7–9, and 11–19.* The people listed in these articles are nearly all non-notable on their own and thereby fail the criteria laid out at WP:LISTPEOPLE. Moreover, these lists do not fall under the exceptions listed there, which state that "In a few cases, such as lists of board members or academics holding notable positions, the names of non-notable people may be included in a list that is largely made up of notable people, for the sake of completeness." (My emphasis.) There may be content that can be merged into the individual season articles or the main list of housemates. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 06:41, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

- Delete without merge and use the existing article. Similar situation to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of The Apprentice candidates (British series 1) so I'll just copy my response form there. The additional details on each person is their personal bio unrelated to the show. If these people are notable, they have an article which covers it and this is a WP:CONTENTFORK, if they don't have an article, they aren't notable and this info is just not needed. Anything specific to the show can be added, but should be limited to 1-2 sentences, similar to how non-reality TV shows or films summarize a character. There is definitely no need for any "play-by-play" re-cap of what he did on the show. --Gonnym (talk) 09:21, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

- Procedural Comment Based on the current consensus I was prepared to close this as a delete, before noticing that it is supposed to cover all 19 series' articles, not just this one. I'm not sure how that should be handled: Some of the earlier series, I happen to know, were much, much higher profile in the UK and it's entirely possible some would argue that some series warrant this article, and others do not. The question therefore is, would it be good procedure to delete all of those articles on the back of this debate? It doesn't help that the AFD title doesn't follow the convention for listing multiple articles, nor does it have a bullet list of the articles. I'd argue this debate should only apply to the series 19 article, and that an additional AFD should be created with better process for the rest. KaisaL (talk) 08:01, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
- No need for WP:BUREAUCRACY.

- The listing in Microsoft Azure documentation appears to be a routine list of all published Apache Hadoop applications, not indicative of notability. In general, information about a product belongs on the article of the company behind the product (see WP:NPRODUCT).

Hits for named populated places in East Champaran and Chakraghatta, Sarlahi. Since Sagardina isn't mentioned in either, redirect doesn't seem necessary, not to mention we wouldn't know which one deserves more, and that's completely ignoring the one in Bara District that the author seems to have intended this article for. The content in the article is almost certainly made-up since Nepal is unlikely to have data like that for "neighbourhood"s, and since the content is templated after Gamhariya, Sarlahi. Regards!

promotional and non-notable . Earlier versions of this were deleted, and this not an improvement.
Promotional:
- overpersonal paragraph about his high school & college activities activities, which can be of no interest except to his associates, or, more likely in this case, to cause us to think of him in a positive light.
- the very non-specific career. *the attempt to describe in detail--with a numbered list-- his approach to relationship advice, along with section on his "views",--to the extent that it seems to serve as an advertisement for his publications. *wording like "has been held in various cities all over the world" or "using his popular nickname"
- extremely minor awards from groups in his own field
- the sort of puffery which makes it seem significant to have given a single lecture at a university.
- the sort of self-justification in section 2.3
- most tellingly, the use of quotes from himself to make up about half the article.
not notable:
- the need to make up the article from what he has said rather than what others say about him
- all of his books are apparently self-published--almost none even in WorldCat)
- there are no book reviews in any major publication.
- Half the references are his own press releases or publications
- the remainder are interviews where he says what he cares to, talk show appearances, and mere notices of his presentations in minor papers. DGG ( talk ) 05:59, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

- I simply do not understand how an article about a man who is arguably the most internationally known professional dating coach is up for deletion.

Looking closer at these sources, they are worse than I initially thought.

The result was redirect to Second Johnson ministry. Opinion is split between keep, merge and delete. I see consensus not to keep this article, but no consensus about whether to merge something somewhere or just delete. The redirect is a compromise, allowing editors to figure out whether something should be merged. If nothing sticks in any target article, the redirect should be nominated for deletion.

- Not exactly true - an old appearance of his on the BBC's Politics Live is one of the clips that the current coverage keeps reshowing. Johnbod (talk) 19:51, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- Move to "Sabisky Affair" (or something similar). Per WP:BLP1E I agree that the subject does not merit a biographical article. However the controversy over his appointment to the inner circle around Prime Minister Boris Johnson and then subsequent sacking/resignation has been a significant political event in the UK and does merit its own article. Oska (talk) 03:03, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT (note especially number 4) not all widely-reported events should have standalone articles. If this event is still the subject of significant analysis and coverage in the future (which honestly seems unlikely) then an article can be created at that time. Otherwise, it is exactly the kind of interesting but ultimately insignificant story that gathers a lot of press attention and then is rapidly forgotten. There are no shortage of those in the modern news cycle and to give each one an ‘XYZ affair’ article is both absurd and contrary to our policy on notability of events. Hugsyrup 07:42, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- Your referencing point 4 of WP:EVENTCRIT is wide of the mark. This is not a routine story. Having someone who holds such extreme, highly controversial and generally socially unacceptable views on women, race, welfare recipients etc be appointed to an advisory position close to the Prime Minister is not routine. Having people within his own party and the government publicly condemning the appointment and say they will refuse to take part in meetings where Sabisky would be present is not routine. I agree that "Sabisky Affair" is probably not the best name for the article but I continue to maintain that this political event satisfies notability and significance criteria. Perhaps we could simply call the article ""Andrew Sabisky appointment". If we do not do a Move (and so far I am the only one talking about such a resolution) then I would support a Merge of the material to a relevant article with a Redirect from "Andrew Sabisky".

- Why is the article about Andrew Sabisky being considered for deletion? Who first suggested it for such consideration? It is up to the man himself whether he deletes his controversial Reddit posts or his Twitter account - although both forums might retrospectively consider whether any of his controversial statements contravened their own rules - but he was appointed to public office, and his removal from that office is also a matter of public interest. Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson, and, by association, the Conservative Party, have to justify their decision ever to appoint him, even if they have now bowed to public outrage. In my opinion, the article about him and this recent appointment and removal should stand on the record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:CA8F:AB00:B8B4:83C3:46C4:F41C (talk) 04:05, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:NEXIST and WP:ARTN. Dragons are central to Anne McCaffrey's work, and any discussion of her writing will naturally examine dragons as symbols within the narrative. For example:
"The telepathic communication between dragon and rider can be seen as feminine language. Some feminist critics see language itself as masculinized. They argue that our very ideas and thoughts are structured by the male-dominated words we use. McCaffrey offers telepathy as an alternative to traditional language... In Dragonflight, telepathic communication provides an instantaneous level of trust and love between dragon and rider... That it is female characters who have this power in the greatest degree stresses its femininity. Dragonflight offers a subtle analysis of the gendering of language."
- That quote is from Anne McCaffrey: A Critical Companion by Robin Roberts, Greenwood Press (1996). Here are some more sources that talk about McCaffrey's dragons:
- Of Modern Dragons and Other Essays on Genre Fiction by John Lennard, Humanities-Ebooks (2008)
- Dragonholder: The Life and Dreams (So Far) of Anne McCaffrey by Todd McCaffrey, Open Road Media (2014)
- The Dragonlover's Guide to Pern by Jody Lynn Nye, Random House (1997)
- Magill's Guide to Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature: The absolute at large ed by T.A. Schippey, Salem Press (1996)
- Dragons of Fantasy: The Scaly Villians & Heroes of Tolkien, Rowling, Mccaffrey, Pratchett & Other Fantasy Greats! by Anne C. Petty, Cold Spring Press (2004)
- WP:NEXIST says that the topic is notable if reliable sources exist, even if they're not currently in the article. WP:ARTN says that the current state of the article's content doesn't affect the topic's notability -- there isn't a lot of real-world content on the page right now, but that makes it an incomplete page, not a non-notable topic. I'll post these sources on the page as a "Further reading" section, so that people who want to improve the article can use these sources. -- Toughpigs (talk) 18:47, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
- Half the sources seem irrelevant, and the other half belong in the main article. TTN (talk) 19:09, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep absolutely crucial per the conversation raised by Toughpigs. This are fundamental concepts within the series, and are the center of the books as works -- there is probably a ton of work to do around cleaning up the article and making it manageable, but you don't just kill obviously notable stuff. Sadads (talk) 03:21, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I added in two references to the article, once I believe may count as significant coverage in a reliable source. Just search for "dragon" "pern" and telepathy, fire, mating, or any other such things to find more reliable sources to add and check for coverage. I agree they are a notable part of the bestselling book series, and best to just have that information in one place, instead of duplicated in so many book articles. Too much information to be in Dragonriders of Pern so a valid spinout article. Dream Focus 00:43, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Sources listed in article or in the discussion above are unfortunately mentions in passing/WP:PLOT. All the arguments focus on in-universe notability. It does not matter for us how important dragons are to the Pern-verse (and yes, they are a key element of it, so what). What matters for us if real world notability, and nobody has shown that the dragons of Pern have been analyzed in a scholarly fashion or such. Please don't just WP:GOOGLEHIT us with random works that appear for "dragon+Pern" search and provide information, with quotes or such, on which sources actually discuss the subject in-depth and not just as a plot summary for the novel(s).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:01, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- The paragraph I quoted above looks at McCaffrey's dragons through the lens of feminist literary theory. That is exactly the kind of in-depth source that you're asking for. -- Toughpigs (talk) 14:27, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete This is a hard-to-read INUNIVERSE mess (geneticist Kitti Ping Yung is fictional, right?), consisting of mostly PLOT, with OR sprinkled in. Bits of the present material indicate that Sexuality in Dragonriders of Pern might be a relevant topic, but we'd still be left with sourcing problems, so I'd argue for WP:TNT here. On the other hand, if someone can wanted to have a dig at incorporating material into Dragonriders of Pern or Characters in Dragonriders of Pern and source it, I wouldn't be opposed. – sgeureka t•c 13:35, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. Being poorly written is not a criteria for deletion. Sources exist. That they are not currently used in tbe article is not a criteria for deletion. Perhaps the problem is that the author is a woman, creates science fiction with strong female characters, and the largely male editorship of Wikipedia is not aware of the impact of her work? As her biographer says, "In making dragons, which had heretofore been featured primarily as evil beasts, into attractive companions, Anne reshaped our cultural image of them.

Per WP:CONTENTFORK, this list-article merely duplicates List of cities proper by population, List of urban areas by population, List of metropolitan areas by population. And it is quite difficult to maintain the page since everybody wants their beloved cities to be listed. My proposal is:

- Option 2: Merge List of cities proper by population, List of urban areas by population, List of metropolitan areas by population into a comprehensive List of largest cities.

- Merge. Given that the metro, urban and city proper populations are just different aspects of the same concept, and we have the ability to make sortable lists, having them all here makes sense. That also alleviates the perennial "why is Chongqing number one" question. This list needs a major overhaul though, it is astounding that major cities like Berlin and Chicago were missing for so long. — Amakuru (talk) 08:15, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

- Option 1 I think it would be better of to have three lists, they are all three seperate concepts and then list of largest cities would just be a disambiguation page. Eopsid (talk) 20:31, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
- They are 3 definitions for what is a city. There is a problem with 3 lists: for the city proper, there is a constant stream of people changing the list, or asking why places like Sydney are not on there. Or why is Chongqing so high? With multiple definitions for what a city is on one page (and the UN uses 3 different definitions), you have far less confusion and inappropriate editing. Also more eyes on one page, rather than divided into 3 helps with maintaining quality. Mattximus (talk) 00:09, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- It's been a full week since I open this discussion. I think I agree with most of fellow editors that the option 2 or merge is the better choice for these lists.

A previously deleted AfD Here. High school basketball player with some buzz about him but mostly routine outside of having a notable sibling (which some of the citations reference. For this individual, it is WP:TOOSOON and currently Fails WP:NBASKETBALL. Fails WP:ATHLETE WP:NCOLLATH. Bhockey10 (talk) 02:32, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep: I am the creator of the article. Christopher passes WP:GNG with feature stories from the national publications Sports Illustrated and Bleacher Report (both published since the first AfD was closed), as well as significant coverage in articles by various California newspapers and recruiting websites. Although many of the sources do mention his siblings, Christopher is clearly the focus of these articles. Sportzeditz (talk) 04:44, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep fails the basketball SNG but passes GNG. Has a Sports Illustrated piece written specifically about him, Bleacher Report did a write-up on him, and while the LA Times article is from the local area of the subject, it's still a very major newspaper, so getting an article in there means something. Subjects can be a WP:NBASKETBALL fail and still pass GNG in rare cases. For instance, Zion Williamson was GNG-notable before he ever graduated high school. Hog Farm (talk) 15:27, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: The SI article does talk about him, rightly so as a highly recruited college prospect, but the main subject of that article is the basketball family (i.e his notable siblings). Even the title speaks to that- Family Tree Is Paving the Way for Success. As I said in the opening, he fails GNG for now... WP:SPORTBASIC is also pretty clear on the issue. WP:NBASKETBALL and actually the other Professional sports people guidelines are also clear that this subject has not competed at the highest amateur level (Olympics), been a top draft pick, played in the top pro-league (auto notable), or broke elite amateur records such as Olympic or NCAA D1 records. The coverage of a college prospects falls into trivial and more concerning for WP:BLPs, the problem with coverage of college prospects, is that it goes into WP:TOOSOON and WP:NOTCRYSTAL because the entire premise of the WP:Routine coverage is speculative on their future basketball careers. Bhockey10 (talk) 16:56, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: His only notable sibling is his brother, who is mentioned in many sources but is not the focus of them. Most, if not all, of the cited sources focus on Christopher. The criteria you mentioned do not apply if the subject of the article passes WP:GNG. Sportzeditz (talk) 18:31, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: The criteria I mentioned help support WP:GNG (or lack of). He fails GNG and the others for now. Sources that could qualify as significant coverage are the Sports Illustrated and Bleacher Report articles but those largely focus on his future prospective in the context of a basketball family, including his notable sibling(s). Other sources in the article can support GNG but not establish it on their own. Those are 1) routine and local coverage 2) collegiate recruiting news niche sources. He currently fails the major GNG criteria of "significant". Also being in the heart of CBB recruiting cycle, GNG guidelines make clear that the subject for a stand alone article should be WP:SUSTAINED as well as Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS- i.e. Wikipedia is not a college sports prospect tracker.

- Keep it has potential. It is a tidy article. I can't see how the current text read like promotional, it reads like an inexperienced editor who hasn't yet mastered our expectations. The school now has sources, and we now have a local editor who is responding to our comments. For GNG we have to show that sources exist - so we will always have problems with Hindi medium rural schools but if we have the school number and the examboard number (we now do) we know that sources and local press reports will exist. No bureaucrat on earth can resist bragging or using the press to head off criticism. So how do we improve it, that is not our job- how do we help the local editor to improve it, that is our job. How - we talk not threaten. So Sturdyankit Thank you for your effort so far. We are trying to establish WikiNotability. Can you list here 3 newspapers (in English or Hindi) where the school is mentioned. Usually it will be an article about good exam results, or bad exam results. The school has no running water. Is there a council paper, or newspaper talking about when water will arrive. Now some general questions, what is a government school building- how long is it, who high is it and is there a book that will tell us this. What do the students study? Are they poor and receiving state aid- what percentage and where is that printed. Where do the students go when they finish? Which college? Does the school follow a state program of study or follow one that is adapted- that can be discussed. All this important as it will help other Wikipedia editors to understand not just this school but other rural Indian Schools. ClemRutter (talk) 15:17, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Has potential isn't a good enough reason to keep in my opinion. The author has added a number of sources (in fact only three, repeated across the article) but I still cannot see any evidence of notability. Ajf773 (talk) 20:00, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- Yup, it's not a valid and an argument to avoid. @ClemRutter: Please provide proof that multiple independent sources exists that discuss the subject in an in-depth manner (per GNG). I have yet to find any that establishes notability. If the editor wants to work on it, I suggest we draftify it. Also salt the page in mainspace as it appears that the editor in question has moved it back to mainspace without any improvements made. It is NOT ready for mainspace yet.

- I hadn't planned to spend my Sunday morning arguing about the number of angels you can fit on a pinhead, because WP:AGF is fundamental to Wikipedia. WP:WPSCHOOLS exist to try and improve the quality of schools articles and we welcome constructive edits. Including those on schools outside the White Middle Class Protestant English speaking world. Ajf773 your opinion is probably right if you look at it from the POV of a diligent editor, a native speaker who has spend four years mastering the plethora of policies essays and judgements. However it is not a POV will be understood by a second language speaker just starting out. Instead of trying to apply policies that clearly do not work very well, try to give some advice to help Sturdyankit write an acceptable article on a rural Indian school. We at English Wikipedia, have a problem with this word- notability. Notability means a fact that is worth noting, it is notable. In the wider word notable has the sense of 'over and above the ordinary'. This school is probably typical, not out of the ordinary - but as such will be notable.-
- Yup, it's not a valid and an argument to avoid. @ClemRutter: Please provide proof that multiple independent sources exists that discuss the subject in an in-depth manner (per GNG). I have yet to find any that establishes notability. If the editor wants to work on it, I suggest we draftify it. Also salt the page in mainspace as it appears that the editor in question has moved it back to mainspace without any improvements made. It is NOT ready for mainspace yet. It should go through WP:AFC process. Masum Reza📞 02:29, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Falling back on relying on WP:GNG for schools was a big mistake- contaversial and by no mean convincing. WP:GNG is far less binary in what is required than deletionista imagine, WP:ORGIN only demands that the significant sources should exist if we look in the right place. Looking further down the page WP:FAILN give detailed processes to follow. 1. Ask for help in finding sources. 2. Look for a suitable merge. 3. Rescue the material and then delete the page. Yes I find a lot of it confusing and contradictory. Masumrezarock100 confusing and contradictory describes argument to avoid. There is a cultural difference in how we treat these discussion pages- between the absolutist, and the gnarled editor who treats it as a discussion that will lead to Quaker like concensus. Argument to avoid is a useful list, but as such it is an essay. The one I like most is WP:ASSERTN Example 1 which seems to describe the AfD!
- Putting on my ESOL teacher hat, Draftify may be the a way forward but before you try to impose it you need to make sure that your principal editors understand what it is about- just doing it appears belligerent. The process could be explained on the associated talk page. Notability must be kept separate from the quality argument. This is no longer a stub- it is a start class and can be treated as such and any of us can do a ce. I have put some suggestions on how we can improve it, have you any more.

- I just added some scholar students from this school who have got scholarship from Bihar State Shia Wakf Board in year 2010-11(2nd phase) you may check at http://www.technixindia.com/wakfboard/report-phase2-1011-result.php?page=24 using serial no. 116378-116379 they are Shamsha Khatun and Shaddam Hussain.Sturdyankit (talk) 13:13, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you sir, But I don't think so my article is totally complete I have added valid references to this page. References are available. I didn't add them myself. This is I believe that my article doesn't have much references but not even less and it is because of its existence in rural area. My intention is to improve my article with updates as soon as possible rather than to be draftified. and it is truly ready for mainspace.Sturdyankit (talk) 05:50, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Dear sir, thank you very much but as I mentioned earlier for rural schools/college(specially in India) it's become too tough to finding it's existence on any independent sources(even though it is notable) but inspite of that I mentioned some of them. And I'm also continued to searching of newspaper and docs. extracts about school But I request to keep it for now.Sturdyankit (talk) 01:51, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
KeepStruck out double vote by author.As, a user previously mentioned so I wanna clearify that my article is not a promotional article or anything else. i have created this because this school is one which was built in such a time when there in india existed British goverment and their rules, regulations. and school served education in hindi medium language including some of indian and british student too. actually, this is those type of facts which became vanished with time. For verifying its existence and notability i already have given some of official Bihar government and some independent citations or refrences. I did a lot of travels and meeting to collecting info. for my article, However, I found BSEB board results. But generally BSEB results are either in pdf or list form. You may check it on page 27/34 with serial no. 1046-1059 or roll no. 1400067-1400369. Using http://bcebcwelfare.bihar.gov.in/medhavritiPDF/Siwan.pdf
Dear ClemRutter Thank you very much. I do my best to add all of those things which you mentioned above and newspaper extracts as soon as possible. Actually the newspaper company and journalist doesn't print rural news(even results) in large columns they prefer short/ merged columns so I felt many difficulties but I continued to it. But for now I request to mr. Admin to keep my article and I approve it as soon as possible.Sturdyankit (talk) 00:42, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep as discussed above, but move to Practical High School. 17:04, 22 February 2020 (UTC) -- Proceeding unsigned comment added by Bearian (talk · contribs)
- It's not called Practical High School. Try reading the (few) sources given. Ajf773 (talk) 20:00, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- 2 of the 3 sources in the article say that it is, as do the 2 links given above in the AFD, so it looks as if ref 1 (used again as 2, 6, 8, & 9) is the one with the wrong spelling. Although the editor got the spelling wrong in the article title, he got it right in the 2 images he uploaded to Commons.--David Biddulph (talk) 21:23, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

- Comment - Moved. Since the nomination, the author of the article has, as he says, moved it from Pratical high school to Practical high school, and I have moved it further to the correctly capitalised Practical High School (as recommended further above by Bearian (talk · contribs)). --David Biddulph (talk) 07:58, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

- Comment - confused. I think I prefer the schools.org.in spelling, https://schools.org.in/siwan/10161003904/pratical-high-school.html a source. The 10161003904 is the UDISE Code. The Database page is national, where the chances are that the Exam Board page was written as a translation from a Hindi original and a typo crept in. ClemRutter (talk) 09:19, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- Google https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Practical+High+School%22+Bihar gives 859 results; Google https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Pratical+High+School%22+Bihar gives only 145 results. The spelling would, of course, be academic if the decision ends up being to delete. --David Biddulph (talk) 23:11, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete We need significant coverage in reliable sources, currently it fails WP:GNG.

- @Sturdyankit: The message from uninvolved editors is clear- they have looked for references to support the article and have failed to find anything on line. This is all about references. As a local editor you have access to sources that we haven't- the article has come a long way but the supporting references are not there- and there is still no evidence that any anything exist on paper, in libraries, council offices in council papers. Please can you search these out and tell us what they say. ClemRutter (talk) 22:39, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Sure.

- Question: How is this different than any other TV episodes list? There must be thousands of pages like this one. -- Toughpigs (talk) 03:48, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- It isn't. There is a growing trend with AfDs lately where the noms fail to realize that a sub-page of a notable article is inherently notable. If they even looked at the MoS, specially, MOS:TV, they'd see that a list of episodes belongs in the main article, but when it becomes too big it is split into a separate article. There is no need in either having the list itself be notable (which is a pretty bizarre ask, as that is almost never discussed by RS) or even having all episodes have article, or even one. If the series itself isn't notable, then nominate it, but as long as it is, then Keep this. --Gonnym (talk) 09:37, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:TVSPLIT; this is a common type of page, and the nominator has not explained why this article should be an exception. -- Toughpigs (talk) 14:11, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Strong keep and WP:TROUT nominator for starting an AfD for one page (with little traffic) among countless others just like it, but not really per the arguments above – MOS:TVSPLIT almost seems to contradict that with "all articles must stand on their own", and is oddly silent on the notability of full-series episode lists. The correct argument here is that, contrary to popular misconception, notability is sometimes WP:INHERITED (that link itself provides several examples of such) and this is one of those cases: a TV series is the sum of its episodes and vice versa; therefore, it is logically impossible for one to be notable but not the other. Modernponderer (talk) 14:57, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Not all articles have to meet the notability guidelines. Especially not list articles. Its a spinoff article, content that wouldn't all fit easily in the main article is spun off to another article. Dream Focus 17:48, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

- I hope you'll find at least some of these sources suitable enough. There are scores of other books and publications. WiFiEngineer (talk) 18:55, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you WiFiEngineer. The idea of WP:THREE is to present your three best sources. If these establish notability, the matter is settled. You present six sources here, so I assumed the first three were your three best, and looked at these.
- Ref 1, (Cullen et al., 2016) has: ", a survey of the indoor positioning capacity of the Wi-Fi infrastructure of the LyIT campus was undertaken. The Ekahau Site Survey (ESS) [8] application was used to complete the survey. ESS is the industry standard for designing, planning and maintaining Wi-Fi network systems". This evidences that ESS is an industry standard, but the ref is not specifically about ESS, it is about indoor positioning using cooperative techniques. ESS is used because it is an industry standard but there is no discussion of why ESS is that standard. Nevertheless there is this paragraph that points to something specific about ESS: "An interesting facet of the ESS application is its ability to configure the output to measure Wi-Fi connectivity capacity of a given area, with a given infrastructure, while at the same time measure the infrastructures capability to position devices within that same surveyed area."
- ETA I note the keep responses below, and reaffirm my view for delete. Widely known among professionals is not notability for Wikipedia. The software gets mentions, but these do not constitute coverage establishing notability of the software. I would invite those arguing for keep to present WP:THREE, that is the three best sources for establishing notability of this software. If there are three suitable sources, I would revisit my view above - but I cannot find any. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 15:47, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- All in all, I find this reference is reasonable, but does not establish notability on its own. Using the software because it is widely used and has a nice feature is not itself notability, nor is mention in a paper. It is relevant, however, that the researchers wrote the above about it.
- Ref 2 is a poster presentation, "Predictive Indoor Tracking by the Probabilistic Modelling of Human Movement Habits." ESS is merely mentioned as being the software used. What the software provides is described, but this does not establish notability.
- Ref 3 is a Computer world article about Heatmapper, and ESS is mentioned as being the full featured pay-for version of Heatmapper. This is a secondary source (which is good) and describes Heatmapper. By extension it provides some support to the notability of ESS, but the mention is brief, and this article is about Heatmapper, not ESS. Wikipedia has no page for Heatmapper, but it is mentioned on the ESS page. If this is one of the best three sources, I am still concerned that it is not really about ESS at all, which does not speak to its notability.
- In summary, I am not convinced by these three refs that the software is notable, yet I think it does move us forward. Question: Is there a page that this page could be merged with? Perhaps Wireless site survey? -- Sirfurboy (talk) 10:53, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback, Sirfurboy. Regarding "I assumed the first three were your three best", no, there was no particular order, sorry.
- I'm by no means an experienced WP editor, so the logic behind ranking the references it terms of their usefulness for this particular purpose often evades me. This is why I listed more than three references, hoping that you could take a look at all of them and point me to the good ones. Would you mind looking at Ref 5 and Ref 6? As for your question about merging, I tried that many years ago, and my attempt was not received very well. Something like "WP is not a shopping directory, get out of here." Frankly, I wasn't (and I'm not now) prepared for a lengthy discussion or, heaven forbid, an edit war if I tried that again. I simply created a stand-alone page for Ekahau, as well as summarized the characteristics of the leading Wi-Fi survey tools in a table (and try to keep it up-to-date).WiFiEngineer (talk) 15:32, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Ref 4 is an edition of MIT's Technology Review, which would be a good source, but it is dependent on what it says. What this one tells us about is the company, Ekahau, produce an indoor site survey product, one of three listed companies providing this. Again, we have evidence here that people use the software and recommend it, but there is nothing here that makes it notable. The Symbols technology product does not get a page on Wikipedia, and although that argument is WP:OTHER, and so flawed, it does lead to another observation: Symbol technologies the company does get a page. Would a solution here be to rename the page to Ekahau the company, and have the product as a section of that? Is this the company's only product? Or is the company notable for other reasons? I have not researched the company as a whole at all, but if the company is notable, all this information fits nicely on their page.
- Ref 5 is a book describing how to do site surveys and takes the reader through installation and use of Heatmapper. As above, Heatmapper is not ESS, although it is related. The book is essentially an instruction manual though. It is not showing notability so much as usefulness.
- Ref 6 has some error in the URL. I cannot load it.
- Again in summary, these have not established notability, yet I am not convinced we want to delete this information entirely. I think it should be merged or redirected somewhere. As the company page does not exist, we cannot merge or redirect to that, and I confess I do not know if "rename" is an appropriate AfD outcome. Instead I am going to modify my position to "draftify". In draft the page can be reworked/renamed as appropriate. Its sources can be improved or its content merged elsewhere. Information will not be lost, and writers will have more time to establish notability for the software. I hope that is a suitable compromise. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 08:18, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- Currently, Ekahau has only one flagship line of business, and that's site survey applications and hardware (that includes Ekahau Pro, SideKick, Heatmapper, etc). So renaming the page to Ekahau (company) and correcting the contents accordingly sounds like a good solution to me. Draftifying, i.e. effectively removing the article from the user space, appears to be an overkill. The article is not *that* bad, and I'm sure it can be improved by the community, myself included. Time permitting, I'll easily add more references confirming the notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WiFiEngineer (talk • contribs) 13:30, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

- Keep - I see zero concerns regarding notability here. It is, indeed, a widely known product among Wi-Fi professionals. If you ask them to name the leading product, Ekahau will be #1 or #2. As for reliable sources, click on the Google books and Google scholar links above. This will give you hundreds of sources, most of which would be quite reliable and vendor-neutral publications and books. I believe about half of the references for this article were added by me, and as someone who added them, I can tell you that these books are on my bookshelf and they are ABCs for any wireless specialist. Also, this page gets about 25 views every day, which, I guess, is a rare situation for a page that is allegedly not notable WiFiEngineer (talk) 15:05, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

, but I think that promotional language can be cleaned up WP:NOTCLEANUP. Lightburst (talk) 15:21, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
- Just for clarity, the article is for a software application, not a company, and so the notability question is about that application, not the company that makes it. Oska (talk) 09:10, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment First, notability isn't determined by asking some "professionals" what products they like. Nor is it determined by how many pages views an article gets. Second, press leases aren't reliable sources and that's all there seems to be on Google. Also, if the promotional language is cleaned up there probably won't be much of an article left. So the argument could be made for "delete and start over", but I'm going to leave that up to others to determine. Although, I will say the more the reasoning to keep it leans towards things like "It's notable because professionals say it is", the more I'm inclined to go with delete. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:47, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Comment: I appreciate the discussion above between WiFiEngineer (article creator) and Sirfurboy over potential sources to show notability. Particularly Sirfurboy in taking the time to review sources put forward by WiFiEngineer. I agree with Sirfurboy that these sources do not make a good case for notability and maintain my position that the article should be deleted. In regards to preserving the information in the article I would like to point out that WiFiEngineer has also created the article Comparison of wireless site survey applications and most of the information about this product is repeated there in a feature table format. Any relevant information that is in this article that isn't shown in that table could be added as a text entry for the product under the table (the same could also be done for other products shown in that table).
Wireless site survey is certainly a notable topic wikipedia should cover and we do. We then also link at the bottom of that article to the aforementioned Comparison of wireless site survey applications. I think this is the appropriate place for where a product of its stature should be documented (in a product comparison article thus giving more of a neutral point of view) and, to repeat, any information that has not been captured there about this product's features can be merged into that article and then this article deleted.

- Premeditated Chaos but as you know that WP:GHITS is an essey. Anyway the article has not been improved yet with any additional sources and as RoySmith found out those sources are WP:ROUTINE so, I am leaning towards a Delete. --KartikeyaS (talk) 16:44, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. I spot-checked a few of the sources; they're mostly routine coverage / product reviews in niche industry magazines, so fails WP:NCORP. The article itself has substantial copyright violations; clearing them would essentially require WP:TNT. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:27, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete I agree with the !delete comments above, no independent secondary sources to convince me of notability. The article itself is a mess as well, lots of the (primary) sources aren’t even about this particular product but are WP:COATRACK for other products by the same company.

- Keep per WP:NBOOK. According to policy, a book is notable if it's "been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself," including reviews. I just added two reviews to the article, from USA Today and Deseret News, reliable independent sources. I agree that the article has far too much plot description and not enough analysis or background, but WP:ARTN says that the topic's notability is not determined by the current quality of the article. It should be improved, not deleted. -- Toughpigs (talk) 00:48, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep The sources found by Toughpigs are enough to pass WP:NBOOK. AfD is not cleanup, which this article drastically needs. Hog Farm (talk) 01:50, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep as passes WP:NBOOK with independent reviews in reliable sources such as US Today and Deseret News which have been used to add content to the article so that deletion is no longer necessary imv, Atlantic306 (talk) 19:16, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep WP:HEY, it's been updated to satisfy WP:NBOOK indeed. Well done Toughpigs, and quite quickly. (To be a little more fair to the nominator, the reviews when nominated are dead sites that are definitely not up to the levels of the new adds. They're still available on web archives, but they look like blog posts. I can't see anything on to suggest sparknotes is actually a WP:RS, but critiques4geeks.com at least had an editorial team on their staff page.) Coming off that aside and back to the point, the two new reviews meet WP:NBOOK. Plot could definitely use some trimming. -2pou (talk) 23:04, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
