I initially redirected this page to the Royal Ballet of Cambodia page, but this has been reverted. The page is basically unreferenced, and so it's not clear how much of it is true. As far as I can tell, this is simply one of several performances of the company's repertoire, and I don't think it has sufficient independent notability.

  • Strong Keep. This is one of the cultural symbols of Cambodia. While not old (the tradition dates to mid-20th century), it is very notable (literally tens of serious works, WP:GNG applies) due to its prominence. I have added few sources yesterday; to validate my claim it might be enough to briefly look at the first one (multi-page treatise by known researchers in a book published at a respected academic publishing house). The article as-is requires some serious improvement (the bulk of the text hails from early 2010s after all), but I did not find anything grossly wrong in it. The main area of improvement would be to stress that this is a newly manufactured tradition (cf. Neotraditions), simply inspired by the ancient visual art. --Викидим (talk) 17:09, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. The Apsara Dance is the quintessential dance of the Royal Ballet of Cambodia. It is the most well known dance of Cambodia and is beloved by Cambodians and non-Cambodians throughout the world. The dance tradition has been a part of Cambodian culture for over a thousand years, and has been recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, recognition of which includes the Apsara Dance. Although the Apsara Dance itself may be a 'modern' reinterpretation of another dance in the Khmer Classical Dance repertoire, it still is important nonetheless. Deleting this article entirely is a bit excessive, and the page can be reworked as needed. I disagree with the previous commentor stating that the article should be reworked to stress that it is a newly manufactured tradition, when it is not. MosheeYoshee (talk) 06:15, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please see Daugbjerg et al. (first source) for it being a neotradition (Daugbjerg does not use the word) forged first by French (p. 28) and later in the independent Cambodia (p. 31). Other sources AFAIK tell the same story: while the bas reliefs of dancers are indeed very old, everything else about the dance is very much 20th century, the link between the ballet and Angkor Vat is "imaginary" (p. 32). Викидим (talk) 06:41, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I left this comment under yours in the talk page. Leaving it here for further discussion.
There is a film that discusses the creation of the Apsara Dance called "The Perfect Motion" by Xavier de Lauzanne, but I haven't seen it myself. It references primary sources and features interviews with Princess Norodom Buppha Devi.
As for the Daugbjerg et al source mentioned, it seems kind of biased and heavy handed with the wording, it is western centric, focusing too much on supposed colonial inspirations (conjecture by western authors). Khmer Classical Dance existed prior to colonial times. The source says something about commodifying the Apsara, however that language is pretty charged. What would make more sense is the revival of the Apsara, and Khmer Classical Dance, of which the traditions were almost lost due to the events of the Khmer Rouge. MosheeYoshee (talk) 06:49, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This discussion is unrelated to the AfD request. Let's move it to Talk:Apsara Dance#Modern recreation for tourists where I quote Norodom Buppha Devi herself saying that the history of the dance is quite recent. Викидим (talk) 10:35, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. The article needs some work but overall matches the contents of the primary sources listed. MosheeYoshee (talk) 01:08, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not see any major issues with sourcing. The article can be better, as described above and on Talk:Apsara Dance#Modern recreation for tourists. But the dichotomy between "modern dance inspired by ancient bar reliefs" and "faithful recreation of the ancient dance tradition" is like "one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter", an earnest PoV disagreement that ideally should be described in the article. Викидим (talk) 01:49, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is mentioned in the article that it was created in the 1950s as a revised form of the 'Phuong Neary' dance, which existed prior. The 'Phuong Neary' dance uses the same music as the Apsara dance, the Apsara dance uses altered lyrics. Relating to your concern about dance being a recreation for tourists, the Tuchman-Rosta article mentions the tourist aspect of dance as merely a by product of conservation efforts. It was also mentioned in the discussion that the royal ballet did not perform for tourists during King Sisowath's reign. MosheeYoshee (talk) 03:13, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will copy your reply to Talk:Apsara Dance#Modern recreation for tourists and respond there. Here we 100% agree that the topic is very notable and the article should be kept; there is no need to bother the future closer with these details. Викидим (talk) 04:39, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A wp:before reveals no independent sources. There is a couple of comments on the talk page that says as much. Fails notability criteria as not having been significantly discussed in independent reliable sources. Fails GNG, EVENTCRIT, and BKCRIT.

The Danville Register and Bee is passing mention, not significant coverage. The Austin American Statement and the St. Louis paper do not discuss the topic in detail. These are not sufficient for NBOOK. These sources prove that this book exists. Based on these I can recommend merge. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 00:55, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says:

    A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:

    1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.

      The review provides 277 words of coverage about the subject. The review notes: "After a uniformly hilarious introduction, wherein a futuristic professor attempts to explain the culture of our time, Wilson uses illustrations that mix movie characters and scenes in new configurations to provide a challenging but consistently amusing story line that paints contemporary society with bold strokes of black humor. ... It's a quick read but one that holds up well with repeated readings as the different connections and relationships between the images unveil new meanings each time around."

      The review provides 149 words of coverage about the subject. The review notes: "The cover calls Robert Anton Wilson's "Reality Is What You Can Get Away With" (130 pages, Dell, $13 paperback) an "illustrated screenplay." Unlike most published screenplays, however, this one is intended not for the movie theater, but for the mind's own screen. Although there is nothing downright unproducible about Wilson's script, one imagines that it was never seriously intended to be filmed, but to be presented as published, with enough pictures — nearly one per page to let the viewer imagine the visuals. Indeed, imagination is one of its major themes. Many readers know Wilson from the "Illuminatus!" trilogy he wrote with Robert Shea in the early '70s. This work is just as outrageously funny, and if not quite as paranoid, at least as cynical. Yet, it is ultimately a polemical work, with a message that is quite simple yet apparently hard for most people to follow: "Think for yourself!""

      The review provides 134 words of coverage about the subject. The review notes: "If you want a good jolt, go to the bookstore and grab a copy of Robert Anton Wilson's Reality Is What You Can Get Away With (Dell, paperback, $13). It's a book that makes no sense at all, and more sense than anything you're likely to have read in years. It zings you, zaps you, sticks it to you. Wilson has concocted a "screenplay" written in the late 20th Century that has been rediscovered by scholars in a distant future. The "screenplay" is an anarchic minstrel show; a cavalcade of the tragicomic absurdities of "saying that which is not so." Wilson nails our society-in-denial right between the eyes. Possibly, Reality Is What You Can Get Away With is not even science fiction. But I treasure its hallucinatory, intoxicatingly nonlinear perspective on our dangerous times."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Reality Is What You Can Get Away With to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

    None of the software postings describe anything about the company at all, and those downloads websites are not reliable sources. Websites like Softpedia basically only exist to get people to download software from them so they accidentally install malicious installer programs or malware. The TechWorld article isn't even about the company itself, and is basically just an ad for one of their products. Nothing I could find counts as meeting the WP:NCORP requirements of containing WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject of the article directly in WP:RS. I did find coverage of the company in a college thesis, but information from it was seemingly taken from an email interview, making it WP:PRIMARY, and theses are not usually counted as reliable sources.

This fails the ten-year test, and goes against WP:NOTNEWS. Thousands of earthquakes with a magnitude of 4 happen every year, and this one didn't even cause a single death, and not much damage was reported. Additionally, I'll quote myself from the talk page: not only is this recentism, but this is also Americentrism. Such a earthquake in, say, the United Kingdom wouldn't have an article. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 21:30, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just Another Normal Day for Plate Tectonics: "Although exciting and novel to east coast residents, the tectonic events on Friday, April 5th represent just another day of plate tectonics. According to the USGS, 67 earthquakes of magnitude 2 to 6.8 were observed worldwide on April 5th, 22 of which occurred in the United States. The New Jersey earthquake was the largest event recorded in the United States that day, followed in size by an earthquake in Belden, CA. Worldwide, the USGS recorded 5 earthquakes with magnitudes between 3 and 4, and 25 earthquakes with magnitudes between 4 and 5 with the largest occurring in southern Mexico and Taiwan. All these earthquakes occurred along active tectonic plate boundaries, making the event in New Jersey even more interesting in that it was the only significant one to occur away from an active plate tectonic boundary."
In the Scientific American article Alansohn linked to above:
"Although not fully unexpected, the April 5 quake was indeed notable—on a geologically “short” timescale. “This was the largest earthquake in probably 140 years for this area,” says Judith Hubbard, a Cornell University earthquake scientist. The last one like it happened way back in 1884. “For people, that might seem like a long time,” Hubbard adds. “For faults, that’s pretty normal." Mooonswimmer 02:49, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of earthquakes in the United States or List of earthquakes in 2024, or Keep for now. While it may have garnered significant attention, sooner or later, it will lose its relevancy as there's barely any significant damage or injuries from the small earthquake. However, until if there would be more aftershocks or an even stronger earthquake to come (though that depends on whether if that fault could generate one or not), then either this would need comprehensive update or have another article altogether while making this to be a foreshock. For now this would be kept until there would be nothing more then it'll just be considered Low-Importance. ROBLOXGamingDavid (talk) 05:13, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The lead establishes its significance, and the coverage/cultural impact this earthquake had was substantial. As geologists work to identify its source, it will continue to receive media attention. By the argument proposed, featured articles I've written on earthquakes on the past aren't notable either - an earthquake in this part of the US of this magnitude, felt by so many people, and causing damage seems noteworthy. ceranthor 05:23, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/RD Not worth a standalone article, coverage in Seismicity of the New York City area is enough. The American press is blowing this story. No doubt this is an interesting experience for many people, that's fine for Wikinews but not a standalone article. As a non-American living on the other side of the globe, I haven't heard more about this earthquake; unimpressed and puzzled by the need for this article. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 07:26, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment So the earthquake got significant reliable and verifiable coverage, but the article should be deleted because the "American press is blowing this story" and you've decided that the press coverage is somehow wrong and can be written off based on your say-so? If being "unimpressed and puzzled by the need for [an] article" was an actual standard, 90% or more of all of Wikipedia should be deleted. Alansohn (talk) 15:43, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      There's nothing remarkable about the coverage, so what? The earthquake itself isn't anything special Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 21:45, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - There are a few things I notice here.
  • Regarding the sources: While the quake did get significant coverage from reliable sources, much of the coverage is from WP:PRIMARYNEWS sources published directly after it happened. Many of the other sources really talk about the seismicity of the New York City area, or the Ramapo Fault, rather than the quake itself. * Regarding impact: On the one hand, the quake caused very little damage and no injuries (just a lot of alarm), which per WP:N(EQ)#Specific guidance typically indicates that the quake isn't notable. Indeed, the "Impact" section of the quake talks mostly about things that were resolved within a day (e.g. the Holland Tunnel's closure, which lasted all of 15 minutes). I was about to !vote that this article be deleted or redirected for that reason. However, if the earthquake were to have a larger aftershock or were to be followed by a more severe quake, then that would definitely be notable.
I'm still undecided for now, but I'm thinking this page can adequately be covered in Seismicity of the New York City area. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:28, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Industries such as catastrophe risk modeling, insurance, and reinsurance find articles such as this helpful. These industries concern themselves with areas where there is high exposure of assets. Even a slightly larger earthquake in this area could have caused millions of dollars in repair costs because the building stock is not built to withstand major shaking. Like it or not, a significant proportion of world's insurance capital is invested in the United States. As a researcher in risk myself, wikipedia articles of noteworthy earthquakes help in documentation. 72.22.168.242 (talk) 17:44, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a policy-based argument. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 22:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Referring to Wikipedia:Notability (events), this earthquake is "significant" and "unusual" because it occurred in an area that is considered low seismic, which suggests that our understanding of seismicity in the area may be incomplete. The causes will be researched by scientists as there are theories of ancient buried rifts. This earthquake is "interesting" both from an academic standpoint and practical (risk industry) standpoint. 72.22.168.242 (talk) 14:43, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Alansohn above. The fact that this was the most severe earthquake in the area since 1783 is evidence that this article passes the ten-year test. If there were a similarly rare earthquake in another part of the world, it would also merit an article. --Albany NY (talk) 20:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, in line with aforementioned reasons. Will pass the 10-year test. Claim of Americentrism is dubious. In line with policy, a historically very rare earthquake in the most populated metro area of America easily justifies an article, especially if something like the 2008 Market Rasen earthquake has an article. --Lithium6ion (talk) 04:18, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am going to have to agree with most of the people here. I am currently a resident of New Jersey myself, and I live about 9 miles north of where the epicenter was located. This was indeed, an extremely rare earthquake considering the fact that the East Coast isn't that seismically active. It was indeed a 4.8 magnitude earthquake, which would make it nearly a magnitude 5, not 4. There was a good amount of damage done. AND, there are still aftershocks being felt and causing damage. Just recently, a home in Union was deemed unsafe due to it. Also take into consideration that Infrastructure on the East Coast is not designed to withstand earthquakes unlike California. The fact that you would put the claim of Americentrism is outright crazy. And there are plenty of articles regarding the earthquakes in the UK, such as the 2007 Kent Earthquake or the 1990 Bishop's Castle Earthquake which had very similar magnitudes. This article would be extremely helpful for researchers and engineers who could use this to help plan ahead in case an earthquake such as the one in Virginia were to occur again. And the article will pass the 10 year test. While yes, most sources come from news media outlets, there is still information being found about the quake and being released, so it will take time to update the article. LeSwiss1886 (talk) 12:06, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You also said that "not much" damage was reported, but there is still a good amount of it. Despite the fact that the magnitude was small for this earthquake, it still caused enough damage and shock in the region to where it should deserve it's own Wikipedia page. And no, the page isn't news. It is an event, so the claim that it goes against WP:NOTNEWS LeSwiss1886 (talk) 14:43, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@LilianaUwU The claim like I stated earlier about the Americentrism is still bad. A better example instead of the Kent and Bishop's Castle quakes is the 2011 Guerrero Quake. LeSwiss1886 (talk) 10:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wait. That brings something up Aaron I need your opinion on. I made a page about a recent earthquake that happened today in Japan that caused 7 injuries and some damage, but it got moved to list of earthquakes in 2024 because a user by the name of @Dora the Axe-plorer said that "earthquakes in Japan are all too common, a moderately damaging 6 isn't notable enough for an article. This article is also poorly sourced." The poorly sourced part I was updating here and there, but I wanted your opinion. I just don't want my work going down the drain for nothing :( LeSwiss1886 (talk) 01:08, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Dora on whether we need a separate article for this one, actually. You can always copy your own work to relevant pages! (Note that you need to do some stuff if copying other 'pedians' work, but you don't need to for your own work) Aaron Liu (talk) 01:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This definitely recieved significant in depth coverage as its location makes this earthquake rare. WP:WAX is also a poor argument to make. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:11, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As a New Jersey resident myself I felt this when it occurred, and as noted by many here it received widespread media coverage particularly due to its rare occurrence. Additionally it was the strongest in two centuries in NJ as well from what I read. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 20:21, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Earthquakes are relatively rare events in the Northeast. This article can serve as a historical record of this specific event, documenting the date, magnitude, location, and any notable effects. This can be valuable for future reference and understanding historical seismic activity in the region.Whoisjohngalt (talk) 22:14, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: partly because none of the policies or essays cited actually apply as far as I can see - ten-year test is not policy and does not seem to suggest something has to be equally notable in ten years; WP:NOTNEWS has a series of bullet points listed, none of which seem to apply to events like this. I'm not aware of a policy stating that earthquakes need to cause death to receive articles, and the last part is what is discussed as being irrelevant in WP:WAX/WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST. Thus, I see no reason to delete it, but also Alansohn and LeSwiss1886 provide good rationale for a keep. Tduk (talk) 23:33, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I believe the next person here should just SNOW keep instead if they know how to do it. Aaron Liu (talk) 00:05, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: It has been a while since I have contributed to Wikipedia regularly (I might have known how to quickly implement User:Aaron Liu's suggestion a few years ago. I'm not sure why the initiator of this thinks the existence of this article violates the ten-year rule; this is the most significant earthquake to impact the New York City area since the stronger 2011 Virginia earthquake nearly thirteen years ago. The next time there is a significant earthquake in the area, this quake (perhaps instead of the Virginia quake) will certainly be referenced and remembered. Having lived in an earthquake-prone area as well as in New York, it is quite obvious to me why a similar earthquake in Japan would not be notable while this one is. Not that similar earthquakes even exist in Japan; the geology of the eastern US makes causes relatively minor earthquakes like this to be felt over a much wider area of hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter, hence the wide attention this event has received. LawClement (talk) 23:11, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This one is sort of on the edge here but, after a search, I found one article (an opinion) online, in addition to the articles here which seem to only make references to her in passing (as the wife of Sukarno).

      I saw these articles during my search, but again, they almost all refer to her in the context of being Sukarno's wife outside of the Philstar article, which has a disclaimer on it that it cannot vouch for the original source (this isn't to say it's bad, but verifying the orginal source, to make sure it isn't paid coverage should probably be done). The three newspaper articles are WP:LOCALCOVERAGE, so I'm not sure they qualify for WP:GNG. Allan Nonymous (talk) 18:19, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      WP:AUD applies to companies, and requires at least one source that is at least regional in coverage. The articles in the Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin should be enough to pass that. The Historia article also discusses her film career. Somebodyidkfkdt (talk) 22:34, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      The problem here is that these articles again only seem to cover her in the context of being Sukarno's wife, which still doesn't fix the WP:1E issue. You were right on WP:LOCALCOVERAGE tho, I will strike that. Allan Nonymous (talk) 17:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      The Philstar and the Historia articles both discuss her film career, which I feel is enough to show that BLP1E doesn't apply. Additionally, she probably has SIGCOV in offline sources. The Philstar article points to a magazine article from 1956, long before she'd married Sukarno. Somebodyidkfkdt (talk) 23:33, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subject is not notable. Wikipedia has discrete articles because each subject can be specified. How then can we write about an unspecified everything? Who has written where about to what "everything" might refer? My BEFORE search became quite impossible. Much of this article re-states "everything" as relates to philosophy and physics, each of which we already have articles on. The un-cited scope section only restates this bifurcation between science and philosophy, providing nothing new that wasn't covered in prior articles. We already have an entry in Wiktionary for this word. We already have a disambiguation page for Everything. This page is superfluous: somebody's gag to get an April Fools' DYK. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:33, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. When taking everything together, subject is notable. Having difficulty writing content is not a reason to delete the article, and I think there has been a substantial effort in doing so here, and it has been done previously for similar topics such as Something and Nothing. I agree there is some redundant material that can be deleted here, because readers can go to their main articles for more information, but there still is enough important material here to justify keeping the article. Mikael Häggström (talk) 13:49, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mikael Häggström: It's not a difficulty in writing, it's a lack of source material which begets a lack of notability. Also, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is not an argument to make. Chris Troutman (talk) 13:52, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect or delete. I would suggest a redirect to universe. The article is effectively a dictionary definition padded out with some concepts that use the word 'everything'. The actual subject (all that exists/ all of space and time) is covered in universe. Heavy Grasshopper (talk) 15:51, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguation with three entries 1) theory of everything 2) theory of everything (philosophy) 3) external link to Wiktionary "everything". Not notable beyond its use as a word as shown by the refs. Johnjbarton (talk) 16:23, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Meets GNG because the concept of "everything" has received philosophical attention separate from that covered by theory of everything (philosophy). One aspect of that seems to be linguistical: what is denoted when someone refers to "everything"? This is content that belongs on this page and not any of the other pages mentioned above.

Keep - I think this is a pretty good candidate for a WP:BCA. I agree that writing an article on a concept as all-encompassing as, well, everything is going to be challenging, but we shouldn't delete an article just because it's challenging to write. At worst this should be a dab if it's truly not possible to write a BCA, but generally when the covered subjects are philosophy and science there's enough overlap to justify a full article. Psychastes (talk) 01:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep EVERYTHING!
I think this should be kept as it provides more than just a dictionary definition. Yes, it mostly leads/refers to other pages. I don't think that accounts for any notability hurdles. In my view, the argument that "Everything" mostly serves as a gateway to other topics can't be a valid reason for deletion. Plenty of other Wikipedia articles function similarly, acting as hubs that provide context and direct readers to more detailed information elsewhere. Plus, the existence of articles like "Something" and "Nothing" is there (can't be sure that someone won't AFD those as well...), and they just show abstract concepts can be covered, even if they're challenging to define concisely.
Sure, "Everything" might not fit neatly into a single article, given its vast scope. But that's precisely why it's important to have a dedicated page for it. Even discarding that angle, the fact that the word everything has been widely used throughout history to point towards manier topics, itself warrants notability - Or its ambiguity, the lackluster characteristics of functioning a definition, itself can be notable.

Delete - The article should be removed. According to the guidelines outlined in WP:NPOL, the individual has not been elected to any political position or taken on any political responsibilities. Obtaining an election ticket or receiving media coverage does not automaticallycooferr notability on an individual. The subject may meet the "general notability guidelines" (WP:GNG), as it has received significant coverage from reputable sources. It is worth noting that there has been an unexpected surge in media attention following her BJP nomination. Despite her two decades of involvement in charity work, she has also been associated with Triple Talaq and fighting for the cause of women, which has received little attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buddingboffin (talk • contribs) 16:16, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - the term may have originated at a Super Bowl event, but it has certainly since then become part of common modern English language and as such notable on its own outside of the original Super Bowl event where it was first used. This is possibly a WP:SNOWBALL. It looks like it even made its way into intentional usage for fashion as outlined by this article. Raladic (talk) 15:07, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and redirect to Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy, where this subject is already thoroughly covered in a more encyclopedic way. As a separate article, this becomes primarily a coatrack for tabloid garbage.
    We have two sections, "etymology" (see also WP:DICDEF, and again how it's already covered in the main superbowl article) and a list of salacious examples that combine WP:BLP violations with original research (and the tabloid stuff). It starts with a full paragraph sourced just to a blog that doesn't even mention "wardrobe malfunction". Then we have e.g. In July 2012, when Australian model Miranda Kerr at one point leaned over to buckle her son into a car seat, she inadvertently revealed her thong to create a whale tail. The Huffington Post described this episode as a "wardrobe malfunction". High quality Wikipediaing right there.
    There's no question this term became widely used after the Superbowl, which is why that article devotes so much space to it. The question isn't WP:N, and any keep !vote based just on "it's notable" isn't responding to the deletion argument. The reasons for deletion are on one hand WP:NOPAGE and WP:NOT, and on the other hand the reality that there's nothing of value to include in an stand-alone encyclopedia article that isn't a WP:BLP disaster. Even when filled with BLP and OR problems, we have people repeatedly reinstating the material. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:24, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If there is questionable content, then we have different means to address that, such as removal, editorial templates or adding page protections if it particularly happens from newer editors.
    But the concept of a wardrobe malfunction is notable on its own and the term was coined at the Super Bowl, but since then has found widespread usage, including whole Books using the title that can be incorporated into the article, or how the phrase has evolved it's use since introduction, such as this Wall Street Journal article on some new MLB jerseys or this NewYorker article talking about the longevity of the phrase and how it has become a pop-culture thing of its own, long after the original incident. Or this marieclaire article talking about the history of the concept and bringing it all the way back to Napoleon.

    This was all just a quick 10 minute of searching to find that there is plenty of content that can be incorporated into the article that has nothing to do with tabloid journalism.
    All of this is not covered (and should not be) at the Super Bowl article since that moment in time was just the inception of a term for the concept that had obviously long existed, but just didn't have a defined name prior to it.
    Interestingly even, the term appears to have started usage before the Superbowl incident as the google ngram data shows usage in books prior to 2004, so it might very well be that the term was coined prior to the Super bowl, but just found its widespread adoption into the common english vernacular then.

  • The term is certainly notable beyond the incident it was coined for (the term is widely used in the UK and nobody here knows what a superbowl is) but the content of the article is problematic. I'm not sure it's possible to write a decent encyclopaedia article on the subject beyond its meaning and origin and it will inevitably be bulked out by an example farm.

  • The "Instances" section is a predictable sack of trivial bovine feces that plagues far too many Wikipedia articles ("in popular culture"), but crappy articles was never a criteria for deletion, unfortunately. Example cruft magnets like this must be tended judiciously lest every nip slip that gets 2 mentions would be crammed in. --Animalparty! (talk) 00:35, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: This isn't a notability issue, and previous Keep !votes seem to have assumed that notability is a sufficient, rather than necessary, condition for an article. Moreover, WP:GNG lists two necessary conditions for a topic to merit an article: (i) notability, and (ii) non-exclusion under WP:NOT. We can agree that the topic is notable without agreeing it should have an article. In my view, this article violates WP:NOT/WP:BLP:
  1. WP:NOTNEWS:

    Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion and Wikipedia is not written in news style.

  2. WP:NOTGOSSIP:

    Not every facet of a celebrity's life, personal details, matches played, or goals scored warrants inclusion in the biography of that person, only those for which they have notability or for which our readers are reasonably likely to have an interest.

Insofar as WP:BLP is concerned, I think the topic – when people have (inadvertently) displayed their intimate parts – is lurid, failing (i) the concerns for balance and attack pages presented in WP:BLP, and (ii) the policy's presumption in favour of privacy (cf. WP:AVOIDVICTIM). While the term's etymology might merit an article that could extend beyond WP:NOTDICTIONARY, I entirely agree with HJ Mitchell's concern that I'm not sure it's possible to write a decent encyclopaedia article on the subject beyond its meaning and origin and it will inevitably be bulked out by an example farm. A redirect to Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy seems inappropriate given the wide range of the term's applications. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him☎️) 15:53, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - per Raladic. Raladic has also demonstrated the existence of additional sources to improve the article. If the topic is notable, but the article is poorly written, then it would be overkill to delete the entire article. ⁂CountHacker (talk) 23:16, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's not that the article is poorly written – it's that the subtopic (namely, examples of wardrobe malfunctions) is unencyclopedic. If an article on the topic (wardrobe malfunction) cannot be written without it including the subtopic, or if the topic without the subtopic doesn't meet our notability requirements, then the entire article should go, even if it is written exceptionally well. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him☎️) 10:37, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Per WP:NEXIST, the sourcing proven by Raladic demonstrates that the topic is notable, even without the subtopic. It is clear that this topic can be written without including the subtopic and can be expanded with the sources shown by Raladic. ⁂CountHacker (talk) 00:06, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A quick before shows this term is used in the titles of several academic works. This has not been mentioned by the nom, and therefore I conclude that WP:BEFORE was not done here. (Note that my keep vote does not mean that I don't agree that the article may need a substantial rewrite...). PS. Side note: relevant Commons category is "commons:Category:Accidental nudity". Which name should be used is something to discuss, but at minimum accidental nudity, which redirects here, is also a term that we should BEFORE before any serious deletion discussion. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:00, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My own research indicates that he never played for Nigeria. He is not mentioned at National Football Teams for 2006 nor any other year for Nigeria. Given the sort of players in that squad at the time, I imagine Ogar would be quite well known and easy to find sources for if the claim were true. Even the unreliable Transfermarkt doesn't claim him as an international. More importantly, I can't find any WP:SIGCOV on Ogar and the article was created by a now permanently banned user that was well known for adding unsourced and dubious content across the project, which has taken years to undo.

Similar case to 2008 Vegalta Sendai season, 2008 Shonan Bellmare season and 2008 Ehime FC season. People looking for information about this club or season can easily find it at 2008 J.League Division 2 or Roasso Kumamoto.

The copyright infringement case that occurred this season is already mentioned in the main article and, in fact, is not even covered in this sub-article.

Former footballer and suspected drug dealer but doesn't seem to have achieved notability for either. Despite searching for a while, I can't find anything other than database sources about his football career, which is unsurprising given that he had a brief career in the 2nd tier of Albania and little else. His career seemed to stop after he was arrested, along with 24 others, for drug trafficking offences. Gazeta Shqip is the source that confirms Malaj's arrest and that he was a former goalkeeper for Tirana but gives no further coverage. Malaj does not seem to meet WP:GNG from his playing career or otherwise and the coverage of the crime is way short of the requirements listed at WP:PERP for a stand-alone article.

It's a book publisher - They are well known for their books. What are examples of sources from other publishers to substantiate relevance, that are not present here? It seems that the source requirements requested are incredibly high. If the sources provided so far are not enough, it would seem that most publishers releasing books primarily from minority authors from developing countries would be excluded from wikipedia. Please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grantennis (talk • contribs) 11:38, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It might be possible to convert the article into "List of books published by Daraja Press", but I am also uncertain if it fits the criteria. The Manji article describes the publisher and maybe it could also be expanded. What benefit to you think having a separate article has? IgelRM (talk) 14:56, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for this IgelRM. This is an important book publisher for marginalised voices and ideas from around the world. At the moment most of the publishers on Wikipedia are only those that publish western authors or ideas related to western perspectives. Should those be the only publishers with their own articles on Wikipedia? Publishers, by definition promote their books and not their brand - that doesn't mean they don't deserve to be part of wikipedia but it means that when we make articles for them we need to recognize that the "sources" are going to be quite different. Do you see where I'm coming from? Eager to know your thoughts. Grantennis (talk) 08:34, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think, but Wikipedia as an encyclopedia unfortunately can only reflect what gets covered in reliable sources and not what one believe is important. IgelRM (talk) 13:28, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was replying to your previous point on sources and your question - "What benefit to you think having a separate article has?". The benefit is(, in addition to above,) having independent presses well represented. Would it be helpful to add sources to that point? Like:
https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/07/why-american-publishing-needs-indie-presses/491618/ or https://www.economist.com/culture/2023/11/27/small-publishers-are-sweeping-the-booker-and-nobel-prizes .

Grantennis, high quality sources are those that provide significant coverage and are not passing mentions. It's not enough to know that a subject exists and has been mentioned, they need to be the subject of newspaper or magazine articles, books, stories on mainstream news websites. Which are the top 3 sources that provide this kind of significant coverage? Because it's not about how many sources there are, it's about quality and depth of their coverage. Liz Read!

I'm sorry, I don't entirely understand why deletion is a more reasonable reaction that maintaining the request for additional secondary sources. mkv files have become an overwhelmingly popular portable video container, I worry that if the article is deleted it will just come back in a sorrier state later as its vague continual cultural relevancy encourages contributors who notice its MIA status and restore it.

So, here we have another way to create a spurious GNIS entry. I will begin by saying that none of the aerials give the slightest confidence that there was ever a settlement here: there's an isolated building shown on GMaps, but you don't have to go very far back before it's an unbroken expanse of forest. So, we go to the topos. When you get back a ways, they do show a "LANAM" label, but it's in the physical feature font, running at an angle. And if you look around you'll see a lot of similar labels, many of them marking "ridges". And indeed in searching I find a number references to "Lanam Ridge", including the road that runs though the area. Apparently either the "ridge" part of the label either got lost or was for some reason omitted, and then some GNIS map reader missed the font clue and turned it into a "populated place". There is a "Lanam Cemetery" a ways to the east, at least according to Find-a-Grave, but I can't find a connection of it to anything (which is pretty typical), and Lanam appears to be a common enough name that it accounts for most hits. At any rate, if there was a Lanam town, it wasn't here. Mangoe (talk) 02:58, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. No sources in the article provide SIGCOV. They are primary or press releases with no depth of coverage (Azerbaijan, check if recognized, GCU, opening of new), unreliable forums (houzz, diplomacy.edu), or not even mentioned (US News, Guardian). Nothing better found in my searching. We don't have to dig into the controversy or decide on its legitimacy to determine that it's not notable. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:36, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect: I agree none of the current sources provide RS SIGCOV. I found this article in the Stirling Uni student newspaper [17] and this in the BBC [18]. The first may not be reliable and the latter might not be enough SIGCOV. There is this Guardian article which arguably is RS SIGCOV [19]. In any case all the coverage seems to be in connection with Joseph Mifsud. The Guardian article also makes clear the LAD no longer exists as does the Brig piece. In that context, it seems most sensible to me to keep it as a redirect to Joseph Mifsud. Perhaps to a section on the LAD in that article? I'd be happy to create it.

  • Delete as WP:OR and per WP:TNT. The current article reads like an attack piece, and is full of errors which is why it should be deleted and not kept. The claims that these programs are not accredited is false. These are university departments inside respected research universities. There are several different university programs being confused, they are not the same program but multiple different university departments, many of them founded by the same academic, Nabil Ayad, who seems to have made a career setting up departments for UK research universities wanting to take in foreign students from outside the UK. The history here seems to have cobbled together these different non-affiliated programs (each university's department is separate to its own school) through a bunch of original research and spurious claims that are not cited to a reliable secondary sources. The London Academy of Diplomacy was a diplomatic studies department at the University of East Anglia for foreign students studying at the university and its diplomas are awarded through that institution. It closed in 2016.
As for the Diplomatic Academy of London. It is a respectable institution/department that was for a long time housed at the University of Westminster (and still is sort of). It's listed as graduate diplomatic studies program at the University of Westminster in Bulletin - Economic and Social Committee of the European Communities. 1992. p. 109., "Overseas". Pacific Research: A Periodical of the Peace Research Centre. 5–6. Australian National University: 41. 1992. It was absorbed into the Westminster International University in Tashkent which is part of the University of Westminster. (see Can the Prizes Still Glitter?: The Future of British Universitites in a Changing World. University of Buckingham Press. 2007. p. 194. ISBN 9780955464201. which lists the school as part of the Westminster International University in Tashkent in 2007.) I can't find a source, but I would imagine that it was absorbed into that school in 2002 when Westminster restructured it diplomatic/international studies programs when the Westminster International University in Tashkent was founded. As far as I can tell the school is still a department inside the WIUT and offers its courses to foreign students in London and is accredited as part of the WIUT through which its students receive both graduate and post-graduate degrees from the WIUT.
I found quite a lot of citations to publications by this organization, and coverage of some of their symposiums in reliable academic journals dating back as far is the mid 1990s. For example their symposium The Information Explosion : A Challenge for Diplomacy had coverage in The World Today,Volume 53, Issues 1-12 - page 158-159. The organization is listed as a reliable academic publisher in Behle, Sabine, ed. (1994). Publishers' International ISBN Directory/International ISBN Agency, Volume 1. K.G. Saur. p. 708. There's WP:SIGCOV in Demut, Andreas (ed.). Neue Ost-West-Wanderungen nach dem Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs?: Vorträge und Aufsätze der Konferenz über Neue Ost-West-Wanderungen als Folge der wirtschaftlichen und politischen Veränderungen in Mittel- und Osteuropa. Lit Verlag. p. 254-255. ISBN 9783825822224. The organization was also a partner with the United Nations for an Ocotber 25, 2002 symposium entitle The UN and the Media in War and Peace (see Ahmar, Moonis (ed.). Different Perceptions on Conflict Resolution Need for an Alternate Approach. Program on Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution, Department of International Relations, University of Karachi. p. 255. There's a lot more out there. All of this to say, we could have an article, but it's definitely not this article which is both factually wrong and a horribly unethical attack page.4meter4 (talk) 02:31, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe keep, although I am not typically a big fan of articles on individual university departments. I re-wrote the article to remove the OR. It's a stub. I also knocked off a stub on London Academy of Diplomacy. Pinging IgelRM, David Eppstein, The Herald, the article is vastly different now. 4meter4 (talk) 04:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but this is getting out of hand. This article is WAY too short to be here and unless you have some way to expand it, the article should be deleted or redirected back to the main tornado outbreak article.

Redirect to Tornado outbreak sequence of December 18–20, 1957 where I think this event already has sufficient coverage. This is arguably an unnecessary fork of that article. BrigadierG (talk) 00:21, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- This is a weird argument for keep, but my reasoning is a mix of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and it passing WP:NEVENT. So obviously it passess NEVENT's lasting criteria with articles like this one 55 years after the tornado. But actually, the tornado is more notable than the overall outbreak and Wikipedia viewcounts tell us that. This tornado article has been viewed 4,800+ times since its creation in September 2023. The outbreak article has been viewed just over 4,000 times in the last year (April 2023 to March 2024). It is obvious people are specifically searching for this tornado over the outbreak associated with it. So in a weird way, the split article is the primary tornado from the outbreak. Article size for the tornado article is over 7,000 bytes while the 3-day tornado outbreak with 37 tornadoes is 53,000 bytes. There was a similar conversation (OTHERSTUFFEXISTS time) for the 2002 Van Wert–Roselms tornado, which was split from the 2002 Veterans Day weekend tornado outbreak. A third-party editor commented amid the content dispute (separate article or not) and determined it could be a separate article as it passed the criteria to be a stand-alone article. Now, in the last month, the tornado article was viewed nearly 400 times more than the outbreak article and also got to GA rank. Obviously, this article doesn't have GA potential due to the lack of information regarding the tornado, but nonetheless, it does pass the criteria for a stand-alone article. So I am very strongly opposed to a full deletion. My !vote should be seen as a full keep !vote unless consensus starts favoring another verdict. In the event of a consensus forming for a merge or delete, this !vote can be seen as a support for a merge (i.e. not opposed to a merge if consensus falls that direction). The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 00:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Sometimes OTHERSTUFFEXISTS arguments demonstrate a precedent rather than poorly justifying an unrelated article's retention, and Weather Event Writer seems to have it right. There is a general case for the tornado's individual notability (even decades on). Could a merge conversation conceivably take place? Sure. But this seems to be a strong enough topic to stand on its own from the broader outbreak. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:28, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would have said "merge" but there appear to be major factual accuracy problems: the NWS report indicates that the tornado started a ways north of the town and went away from it, not into it; also I don't know why the intersection would be called the "wye" since it is a perfectly ordinary crossroads. It could be made into a separate entry within that article (as is the case for two of the tornadoes in the outbreak) but if so, the text needs to be researched anew.

@Mangoe: I am not sure what NWS report you are referring to? The entire NOAA report for the tornado can be seen on Wikisource (Wikisource: NCDC Climatological Data National Summary for the 1957 Sunfield tornado) and it clearly states, "Occurred at junction of highways 51 and 154. Small crossroads settlement at Sunfield "Y" wiped out. Very heavy destruction in small area. Several survisors took cover in buildings. Man remaining in open killed. Tornado moved east-northeastward." Could you link what NWS report you are seeing, because there is a chance it is a media report and not the official government reports.

Sorry, it's that NOAA report to which I refer. If you look at the map of the path and zoom out a bit, you can see Sunfield SSE of the touchdown point. Reviewing the other sources it seems clear to me that they were referring to damage at the intersection and then further east, not in the town itself. Mangoe (talk) 03:46, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mangoe: Oh you mean the storm event database. Yeah, don't use the map. The map is not a representation of the tornado track. It just draws a straight line from the start to the end of the track. The 2013 El Reno tornado is a very good example of that straight line path drawn for those maps. NOAA produced an actual map of the tornadoes track (an image in the Wikipedia article), but if you look at the Storm Event Database report for it, it just draws the straight line. NOAA also says this just above the maps: "Note: The tornado track is approximate based on the beginning (B) and ending (E) locations. The actual tornado path may differ from a straight line."
Also just a side note, you can take a look at User:WeatherWriter/LLM Experiment 1 and User talk:WeatherWriter/LLM Experiment 1#Follow up with 32k version of GPT4, where myself and another editor actually used A.I. to basicaly fact-check and check the verifiability of the article. Both of us came to the same overall conclusion of it being verifiable and accurate based on the sources. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:53, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One extra note I wanted to mention, the Storm Event Database, while official as in from the government, is not the actual "official" report for the tornado. That comes from the "Climatological Data National Summary December 1957" paper released in 1958. Basically what is on Wikisource is the formally "official" report for the tornado. The other NOAA sources are official as they are from NOAA, but were made decades after the tornado in the internet era. NOAA discontinued the large paper-based official reports in November 2018 and from December 2018 to present, the Storm Event Database is the official location for tornado records. But the paper/PDF reports are official reports pre-December 2018. You can see these publications here and here. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:58, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is all well and good, but again, when I read all these various sources, none of them says that the tornado went though Sunfield. They all say that the tornado touched down near the intersection, obliterated everything there, and proceeded ENE. The Benton News story is particularly detailed. You are spending too much time on what is an irrelevancy; regardless of which source you prefer, none of them says what the article claims they say. Sunfield itself was not touched by the tornado.

@Mangoe: Now that the accuracy issue is solved, would you reconsider your !vote, which was “redirect” with the sole explanation of the now fixed issue. I am not swaying, but even you have to admit it does pass WP:NEVENT and WP:LASTING, i.e. it meets all stand-alone article criteria. Plus, it gets more views than the outbreak overall does, indicating that it is potentially more notable than the outbreak. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 23:35, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion criteria are intentionally limited and specific, particularly A7. One admin declined to delete and I supported them when the same exact tags were reapplied to the article. If the page creator is identified as a confirmed sockpuppet, then CSD G5 would apply. This AFD looks like it will result in deletion, I don't see this situation as urgent. Liz Read!

You cannot seriously tell me with a straight face that this article isn't straight up spam by a user whose name is the same as a sock whose accounts have been blocked over fifty times. I respect you and all you do to ensure CSD is not carried out willy-nilly... but c'mon. Why? I Ask (talk) 06:14, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
