• Delete: This strongly appears to be a hoax. The link mentioned above appears to be some kind of fantasy book for children, just like beautiful "dragon books" with made-up facts exist. The existence of these books is a nice thing, and I loved reading these as a child, but they are far from being reliable sources for this article. From the book description on Google Play, translated using Google Translator:

For some, the legendary or mythological creatures presented in this book are believed to exist, but can not be proven. Some people think it is extinct and can not be proven in a real way. The rest are creatures of belief, cultural custom, and religion. In addition, not a few of mythological creatures are the product of human imagination in the past, when they have not been able to explain anything.

Champion Movies[edit]

Champion Movies (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

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

Purely promotional article about non-notable company. Article creator, who I suspect of being WP:PAID, copied some of the more puffery-laden content directly from this press release (a primary source). I've removed and RevDel-ed the content.

The article creator described the company thusly: "Champion Movies has been considered to be an upcoming leading film company of Eastern India." Upcoming and leading? Anyway, that stuff has been deleted.

The only references in the article before I started meddling with it were Erosnow.com, Newsfolo.com, a blog I've never heard of in the context of Indian films, and this dailyhunt.in, which is just a reprint of this press release. (Dailyhunt.in is a content harvester. They just take other people's content and republish it.)

I can find no significant, independent coverage of this company from reliable sources. Searching for "Champion Movies" "Ritum Jain" (a key person according to the infobox) produces no results. Combining "Champion Movies" with "Bengali" produces no significant hits and "Champion Movies" "Jawker Dhan", what the article described as "a huge box office hit", produces no significant hits either.

Thus, subject fails both WP:GNG and WP:NCORP and I think the article creator would be inclined to claim inherited notability for the films they produced, but we know that is not sufficient. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:01, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete - No significant, independent coverage of this company in any third party reliable sources --Adamstraw99 (talk) 22:11, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• • There was television show talking about the production of Champion Movies in an Indian channel. It is a fully new film company in eastern india, so it has no search results in google or other search enfines. But in that television show, during an interview of Ritum Jain and the company, the show distributors cleanly said about its good production quality though it has only two films released in Bengali theaters but has ready gained a great fame but not in internet. As there are only two productions so it is not so popular now in news and media now, but I think soon it will be.

I did not know daily hunt as a copy publisher of other website. So I made a reference of that.

If the article meets the criteria for deleting an article, then delete it. In future I will definitely try to create the article if more acceptable references came out.

We don't create articles on a supposition that a topic will be notable one day, we create articles on subjects that are already notable. And, we don't use primary sources like interviews and promotional literature like press releases to establish notability. We need significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This is the most fundamental rule when creating articles.

Two articles in German newspapers (both from Wiesbaden, Wiesbadener Tagesblatt and Wiesbadener Kurier) seem to refer to an Eritrean by the name of "Tedros Abraham", but the age (19 yrs old as of 2018) is wrong, and he is a referee (Schiedsrichter), not a player - so wrong guy. Lacking any form of significant coverage, and unless somebody can snatch out some Eritrean newspapers (???), clearly fails WP:GNG.

GNG requires in-depth coverage. As I mentioned above, NFOOTBALL is a presumption, and a scorecard mention (literally only his name and the time in the game [90' or 89', sources don't quite agree] when he scored) of scoring a goal is rather WP:TRIVIALMENTION... 198.84.253.202 (talk) 02:08, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, the nominator mentioned WP:NFOOTBALL for the reason of AfD nomination. The player passes for this. And second, coverage should not only based on google search result, especially when language becomes a barrier, or in a country where most news is availble in paper-based version, not available online. Then perhaps better to say, it cannot decided he passes GNG or not, for now.

pinging the people who have !voted thus far: user:Andrew Davidson, [[User:EditorE, User:Jeanpol, and added "Biography" to the sorter in the header Jytdog (talk) 02:37, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep both. Here is a translation of the German Wikipedia article on Jean-Pol Martin, and here is a translation of the German wikipedia article on Learning by teaching. Being the topic of an article on German Wikipedia does not create automatic notability on English Wikipedia, but the number and quality of the references in both German-language articles strongly suggests that both English articles deal with a notable topic. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:07, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Eastmain there are two articles nominated. Please !vote on both.

Also, the nomination for this page is TNT. If you want to keep it I suggest that you roll up your sleeves and start making this a WP article and not an extension of the LDL website. Even so, you may not succeed. It is not clear to me that there are sufficient independent, reliable sources, or that we will be able to keep this free of the promotion that this page has been subject to. Jytdog (talk) 05:32, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The 45 references in the German version of Learning by teaching are sufficient to establish notability, even if they haven't been added to the English article yet. And I think that Jean-Pol Martin has adequate references. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:11, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Neutral, but... Is it COPYVIO to post a straight translation of an entire one-hour (?) lesson, which is what this looks like? If it doesn't appear almost word-for-word in the cited source, I find it hard to believe that it could meet WP:V and not be original research, and if it counts as COPYVIO to present a direct translation of the full text of an entire lesson plan, then every version of the article between January 2007 and the future point that it gets removed will need to be rev-delled anyway.

Also noting that the OP is right about just about everything, I just don't necessarily think the page should be deleted. Articles written primarily by COI editors, whose off-wiki sites tell readers to consult Wikipedia for what essentially amount to first-hand, "official" information, don't have any place on Wikipedia.

And while I am not interested in casting a !vote at this point, I think User:Alexf (who opened the recent AN thread) might be, so pinging him.

Weak Delete for (German: Lernen durch Lehren). This has numerous GBooks entries which would suggest it is not in-bubble thinking, which weve seen before on Afd.

• Delete - so that it can be re-written from scratch. As it stands, the article is almost completely promotional in both tone and content, and simply scrubbing it would end up with something incomprehensible. An alternative is to strip it down to the bare bones and keep it, but with the COI SPA author topic banned from contributing to it, but I think deleting it to start over is a better option.

@Dream Focus: Have you found any independent reliable sources that demonstrate that the person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline? Per this edit, I see Wikipedia articles making that claim, but based on what looks like questionable misrepresentation of sources, most of which are not independent anyway. I can state from experience that the approach does not have wide acceptance in Japan (a claim not directly made in our article, but very much implied) or Ireland (which one would imagine would be one of the first places to adopt a cutting-edge language-teaching technique developed within the EU, if it really were having as significant an impact as our articles imply).

By my count 49 of those citations are from the same local newspaper. The Frederick News-Post is not a major publication. The other two come from the Washington Post. Neither article is about Shreve. The first one is about a vote on a Scientology rehab, it has exactly one quote from Shreve.

I do not view the Frederick News-Post an invalid source for notability, as some here do. The coverage of this politician in this daily newspaper is nothing short of impressive. There are other sources. For example, I just added an item from the Voice of America in which the first three paragraphs focus on Shreve. The entire article is focused on a project educating against drugs, in which Shreve was the driving force. gidonb (talk) 03:52, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment This discussion and several recent and present discussions persuades me, as it has persuaded several editors commenting above, that too many editors are applying WP:NPOL without taking a close look at individual careers and available sources. Except with new pages on candidates actively running for office, I recommend tagging pages and leaving the tag in place for a year before taking politicians to AfD.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:12, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly disagree - this article is a clear example of a local politician who doesn't pass WP:GNG. SportingFlyer talk 05:13, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. County council is not a level of office that confers an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL — it is a level of office where a person qualifies to have a Wikipedia article only if the sourcing expands far enough beyond the purely local to mark them out as a special case over and above most other county councillors. The sourcing in these articles is not doing that, however — they're referenced entirely to the purely local media coverage that is simply expected to exist for county councillors, and not to any strong evidence that either of them is more notable than everybody else who serves on a county government in the United States. There is no automatic entitlement for politicians at this level of government to have Wikipedia articles, so listing them for deletion does not represent "genocide". If "local media coverage exists and therefore WP:GNG is passed" is enough for these two county councillors, then every county councillor everywhere is equally notable by the same standard, because local media coverage always exists — but Wikipedia has an established consensus that purely local media coverage is not enough to get a county councillor into Wikipedia in and of itself, if the article doesn't demonstrate a credible reason why their notability extends beyond the purely local. Bearcat (talk) 23:14, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. This article is source-bombed, but I cannot access many of them because they are behind a password-protected site. What is important: even though there are 55 sources currently on the page, where are the ones that help him become notable? Commissioners debate time commitment? Shreve raises staffing, parking concerns? Population boom feeds construction? They're also all from the same newspaper. The sources that exist are almost all WP:MILL local political minutiae, and the ones I can access - the Washington Post ones - he's only mentioned once or twice. Keep in mind WP:NPOL states: A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists. There are at most two sources out of the 55 presented which could satisfy that requirement. SportingFlyer talk 05:13, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I just noticed multiple people were nominated in this AfD. I stand by my delete for Shreve and would also like to note Bud Otis, in spite of a number of sources on his page, also fails WP:GNG. None of the articles discuss him outside of his local government position and are all WP:MILL, and the best source is only an editorial. My analogy for these is similar to game coverage a really good high school basketball player: there will be lots of local coverage, and some of it may appear to pass WP:GNG, but neither of these gentlemen have done anything notable apart from serving on a local elections board, and the sourcing shows it. Due to the odd nature of this AfD (I thought it was just for Shreve) I have no problems with any sort of procedural keep, but I strongly believe neither of these articles are fit for Wikipedia based on the available sourcing, and are merely local political cruft.

Yes, I am familiar with the policy. It states: An article with a fair or better chance of standing on its own merits should not be bundled— nominate it separately. For the avoidance of doubt, bundling should not be used to form consensus around policy decisions such as "should wikipedia include this type of article". Bundling AfDs should be used only for clear-cut deletion discussions based on existing policy. If you're unsure, don't bundle it. You and I have been involved in recent months in a large number of deletion discussions regarding county- state- and town-level politicians, and we both know that notability varies according to the vagaries of individual careers, even when, as you say above, "They hold the same damn position." E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:54, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so why don't you explain to me how these two men have done anything of significantly different notability over their careers because I don't see it. The only elected position either held was on the same county council (or its predecessor) and I don't see anything even remotely notable about their lives before that.

• Delete Shreve who has done nothing notable apart from be a county politician (NN) and a politician's campaign manager (NN).

• Procedural keep for Bud Otis. I was surprised to learn after writing my opinion on Billy Shreve that this nomination also includes Bud Otis. I disagree that the nomination of Otis should piggyback on that of Shreve. These are different politicians with different considerations. A closing nominator has said this before me, however that closure was overruled in a deletion review and the AfD was reopened. I have not delved into every claim made in the review and accept that reviewer was entitled to make a decision. Now that s/he did, I'm adding my position on the linkage and the Bud Otis article here.

I see you closed the discussion of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Partridge Creek monster (Cryptid) as a merge to Living dinosaur. There is a problem in the fact that the article Living dinosaur was not notified of this at all. There is no chance it fits in the article as this is not what the Living dinosaur article is about. Yes there is a cryptozoology section, but it's not a list of cryptids, it's a generalization section. If it goes anywhere in wikipedia it's probably List of cryptids but that's a different merge request, and of course "List of cryptids" would have to be notified. As it stands now a merge to "Living dinosaur" is invalid and should say as much in the merge closing. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:32, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

My original idea was to add a short list of examples to the cryptozoology section of Living dinosaur, but after reading the current text on the page several times and thinking about it, I doubt it would be appropriate to create an "example" section just for one cryptid that doesn't even have a page anymore. After this consideration, I'd agree with Fyunck that the article should be either merged with List of cryptids with proper notification, or deleted entirely. Nanophosis (talk) 03:31, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Yes thanks for the ping. I'm persuaded by Fyunck and Nanophosis, but List of cryptids is nearly all a list of separate articles. Not sure what to do at this point: should we propose a merge, which would effectively be a re-run of the AFD discussion? The Mighty Glen (talk) 17:11, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure it would be an exact re-run. My guess is those that would tend to edit "Living dinosaur" would say a resounding "no" to the idea. The List of cryptids merge I'm not so sure about the outcome. Two other things that's a little strange with this. If it's a merge you usually merge the entire contents somewhere else, unless it's duplicate contents. Maybe you'd cut a little but mostly you merge it all. Redirecting and simply mentioning the name of the beast on another article is not a merge of content. Second, this beast was mentioned in an article of The Strand in France. I'm not convinced this was some made-up publicity stunt perpetrated by Arthur Conan Doyle who wrote often in the magazine, and whose book The Lost World came out a couple years later. But those are my musings. I don't really care if this stays as an article, is deleted, or gets merged, as long as it follows protocol and the mergeto article is notified of the discussion beforehand. Fyunck(click) (talk) 17:31, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

I've made a few tweaks to the article and found a few references. I've updated The Strand Magagazine reference, but there are a few earlier references, and at least one later:

Almost all of it seems to be based on Dupuy's story. While the Je sais tout version appears to have been published before The Strand version, the composite image in the French version is separated into two complete images in the English version.--tronvillain (talk) 16:53, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - as per conversation at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Professional wrestling, the premise of this simply will not work. An article for all notable tag teams is impossible to research. There are notable tag teams that are missing from the list, and a lot that are entered and are not notible (such as Team BAD, or Slater & Rhyno). There is no way to source an article like this, that would be able to prove that the tag team in question is notable.

  • @Hijiri88: Aye, I apologize. Before I withdraw this, can you comment on whether its orchestra (which I should not have bundled here for this reason) is also notable? I found one and one-half nontrivial sources discussing it, but you might be able to find others. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 21:47, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Compassionate727: While I enjoy classical music, I don't general write Wikipedia articles on the topic, let alone on modern orchestras, so I don't actually know what kind of sources one would normally use to establish notability, but I think being the sole representative of Hyogo Prefecture in the Association of Japanese Symphony Orchestras [ja] would be an achievement worhy of a standalone article. I personally would prefer that we didn't have standalone articles on subjects that do not (and probably never will) have their own articles in paper encyclopedias, but the community doesn't agree with me on this and I've made my peace with that. Anyway, a search for the name of the orchestra in quotes didn't show up much because a lot of articles about the orchestra, not the venue, refer to them as the resident orchestra in the Hyogo Performing Arts Center, but the Kobe Shimbun did a piece about their outreach mini-concerts in elementary schools and special needs schools (which seems vaguely encyclopedic but could not be included in the article on the Center because it specifically doesn't take place there),[7] the same paper printed an article commemorating the orchestra's 100th concert and their "world-class conductor" Yutaka (?) Sado, claiming that their concerts attract unusually large audiences (I've honestly not been to a classical concert in Japan where more than 50% of the seats, much less 80, were filled),[8] and the Nikkei Shimbun had a piece that (admittedly briefly) compared the performing culture of the orchestra to that of the Osaka Philharmonic.[9] Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 09:40, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I should note that your explanations of why the sources matter are erroneous (although you probably were just trying too hard).

Unsourced (but ineligible for BLPPROD due to external links). Deprodded in 2006. The external links are to subject's blog in Salon24, and videofact which does not seem like a RS (and doesn't provide much in terms of depth regardless). Nothing in the bio indicates notability - per our article (unconfirmed by sources) he was a solidarity activist in Poland (as were many), immigrated to the US at some point, and then was a member of Solidarity Electoral Committee in New York in 1989 and chairman of Chairman of the Lech Wałęsa Electoral Committee in New York City in 1990 - neither of which would come close to NPOL. BEFORE doesn't bring much up at all in terms of sources. There does seem to be a pastor in Illinois with the same name who is possibly more notable (but wouldn't pass GNG either).

A better way to conduct this debate would be to determine if "Best New Zealand Act" at a supposedly European awards ceremony qualifies as a "major" award.

There's really no basis for having this article. Three of the "sources" are tabloid dreck of the worst sort, as the titles indicate:

• Lilu: "We'll have our wedding at a restaurant in Codri"
• Lilu has become a mom! Details here!
• Lilia Ojovan is mommy a second time! The journalist had a little girl

The fourth "source" is in the same genre - for indications of what type of coverage kankan.md provides, this week's Anda Adam, ravishing cleavage at event and Feli Donose is pregnant should offer a clue. Anyway, the "source" is a PR piece about the subject's new show.

Finally, "source" number five tells us that the subject was once one of six pretty random people who put out a video promoting online safety. Well, appearing in some video clip is not really an indication of notability.

In conclusion, the subject is a fairly routine television presenter who has received scant coverage as such, and a few tabloid mentions about her wedding and children don't make up for that glaring deficiency. Therefore, delete. - Biruitorul ^Talk 14:30, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep Why are we even discussing if this should be deleted? Bunko Kanazawa was famous in the 90s and early 2000s. Are there any East Asian contributors assessing this? Just because her achievements are relatively unknown in the West is surely not cause for deletion, especially if you base the requirements in the context of the Western pornographic industry, e.g. there is no "Pornographic Hall of Fame" in Japan. Madoka Ozawa is another star whose page should not have been deleted and should be reinstated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.90.50.104 (talk) 18:17, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One of the cited reasons for deletion is "no evidence of notability, hasn't won any notable/signifcant awards". However, in the List of Japanese adult video awards (1991–2008) article, it is clearly stated that "Although pornography in Japan has a long history and is a major business, until recently, the adult video industry did not develop a broad-based set of awards for sales or performance such as the AVN Awards in American pornography." This measure of notability is therefore unrealistic as AV actresses like Bunko Kanazawa and Madoka Ozawa could not have won any notable awards as such awards did not exist during their heyday in the mid-to-late 90s and early 2000s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.90.50.104 (talk) 18:35, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Subject is not notable. It has not received significant coverage. Google books turns up no results relating to the event (apart from a single mention where an author thanks the organisers). The only reliable source in the article is an Irish Times link, which is now dead. A Google news search turns up only a handful of local articles and blog posts which list winners rather than thoroughly covering the event/competition itself. This can be seen in the article itself, as the most well-sourced section is the winners list. However, most of these sources are merely press releases by the colleges who won - these are obviously biased sources and not acceptable.

The entire rest of the article is has only three sources. Two of these are the event's website, and one is the aforementioned Irish Times deadlink.

As it stands, this event has received no international coverage, coverage by only one national newspaper (once, six years ago), and some very limited local and blog coverage which merely lists winners. Actual details about the event, structure, organisation, etc. is nonexistent. This hardly qualifies it for an article.

At the moment, it reads more like a (poorly written) advertisement (e.g. "Another Highlight of Games Fleadh, is GamesPro. GamesPro, is a panel of games and software developers, and companies, highly respected in industry" and "Every year Games Fleadh is supported by (but not limited to): Microsoft,EA, Demonware").

The fact that you had a connection with the event is a clear conflict of interest. You should not have created this article in the first place, and should probably recuse yourself from this debate - you're almost certainly biased, and your edit history suggests that you're a single purpose account.

If this event was noteworthy, someone other than someone connected with it would have made the article for it. My deletion nomination has nothing to do with the poor writing, that was just an addendum; the fact remains that there has not been significant coverage for this event, therefore it is currently impossible for this article to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The "informational content for a national audience" should be on the event's website, not Wikipedia - Wikipedia is not a directory or a means of promotion.

• Weak keep. I did some major cleanup on the article, merging a bunch of unneeded sections together and fixing some of the POV content. It still needs work, but I think there is just barely enough sourcing available to meet the notability guidelines. ZettaComposer (talk) 15:24, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work. Unfortunately, I still disagree about there being enough sources to meet notability guidelines for an article. For example, the entire History section (which is the only particularly encyclopedic section of the article) has no sources whatsoever. The rest of the article is just a series of bulleted lists listing themes/winners, and again, are all sparsely referenced. The quality of some sources is still questionable (e.g. [5], [6], [7], and [9] were either published by the event itself or are self-promotional fluff pieces written by the winning colleges). An alternative to deletion may instead be a redirect to Limerick Institute of Technology, where a short section about the event could be included using the small handful of reliable sources that do exist.

So, I tried hard to find some decent sources since I'd expect someone who played in two pro footy leagues for 8 years to have at least a mention in relation to the team, but alas, all I can find are primary sources, mostly in rag-mags, his own blog/tumblr, interviews. I can't find truly independent coverage of him as a business person/writer or as an athlete. Most of the article appears to be quite exaggerated as well. If he was indeed on any of these pro-teams, he certainly never played so far as I can tell, nor has his other work received in-depth coverage. In fact, the best piece I can find is a BBC article about him being cleared of a rape charge but it does give some helpful information, specifically that he was a reserve player and on trial at several clubs CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 11:17, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NPOL. Sheppard was only mayor of a city with a population of 33,972 (fairly small), and served with little note. Though she did hire a convicted murderer, and the Baltimore Sun noticed, Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS, and the NYTimes article is not sufficient coverage.

While the population of Chester is relatively small now, it is the largest city in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, was the first city founded in PA and was much larger with 66,000 residents as recently as 1950. The election of Bohannan-Sheppard was a major change giving Democrats control of city government for the first time in 125 years due to residents' frustration with major corruption in the city including the previous mayor John H. Nacrelli. She is the second female, African-American mayor of Chester behind Willie Mae James Leake. On top of mention of her election in major papers such as the Washington Post, New York Times and Baltimore Sun, Bohannan-Sheppard is mentioned in the book "The Ecological Community" by Roger Gottlieb and "Finding God in the Singing River: Christianity, Spirit, Nature" by Mark Wallace. To say that she served with little note ignores the grass roots environmental task force she led opposing the placement of sewage treatment plants, medical waste facilities, recycling centers and trash incinerators in the city of Chester highlighted in the 1998 California Review Article by Sheila Foster titled - "Barbara%20Bohannan-Sheppard" Justice from the Ground Up: Distributive Inequities, Grassroots Resistance, and the Transformative Politics of the Environmental Justice Movement. To quote WP:PERSON, "For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" or "note" - that is "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life." I believe this article meets that requirement. Dwkaminski (talk) 15:04, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: I searched both Victor Vote and his real name, but the returned results were all Wikipedia mirrors. I went through the article, and the only thing worthy of note is the statement that he is Director of Media and Publicity to a state legislator, although unsourced, but even if it was sourced it wouldn't still be sufficient to meeting WP:NPOLITICIAN, as that is not an electable position. Article is also filled with unnecessary external links, and probable WP:COI. I agree that CSD should be warranted, but it is good that this goes through AFD so that the author will understand why his article was deleted and not recreate it.

As per WP:NOTE - as there is no same-sex marriage in Indonesia, nobody is writing about it, except to say it shouldn't be introduced. Is there an article about synagogues in Saudi Arabia or amusement parks on the Moon? Davidelit (Talk) 04:27, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Vehemently oppose - Please visit Category:Recognition of same-sex relationships by country to see that there are tons of articles about the status of same-sex relationships in countries where they are not even recognized (including Indonesia's own neighbor, Singapore, where there are virtually no LGB rights and sodomy is still a de jure crime). You might want to propose deletion for all of them too. You are also putting absurd and false analogies, because this article is concerned with actual legal issues that are being discussed by lawyers, including the question of how Indonesian law addresses its own citizens who have performed same-sex marriage abroad and how the government would treat foreign same-sex couples who are coming to Indonesia.

• Keep as re-written and re-named. Having been to Indonesia and Malaysia, I saw first-hand there are gay undergrounds in both countries ("comfort stations" appear to be especially cruisy). It feels like America c. 1982, in the sense that clandestine MSM meeting sites and prostitution are (ahem) active, the media and relgious authorities routinely lambast gay sex, and HIV is a real public health issue. I was ill with "Bali belly" when there, and on a tour with straight people, so I didn't walk too closely to my Filipino partner. Every religious, class, ethnic, and sexual issue there is politicized. Recognition is widespread that same-sex relationships exist, even if gay sex is illegal de jure, discrimination is widespread, and same-sex marriage will not soon be legalized.
