  • Delete - Does not meet WP:BAND. Google search didn't turn up any reliable independent sources that show non-trivial coverage of the subject. The albums did not chart on the national music charts, or have received any certifications or any accolades. I don't consider Supernatural to be a major record label. --Ashleyyoursmile! 10:23, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete no evidence of notability. Couldn't find anything that establishes notability. Supernal (not Supernatural :) Music is a redirect to the founder of the label, so I don't consider it to be notable or major either. COI also applies, as the band themselves contributed to the article (see page history). GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 06:07, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

According to Soccerway, GSA and Tribuna has only played 22 mins of professional football, so only just scrapes a WP:NFOOTBALL pass.

Searches, including this Malaysian search, failed to uncover any significant coverage. Clear consensus that a trivial passing of NFOOTBALL is insufficient when WP:GNG is not met. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 23:40, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

According to the one database that lists him, he has only played in the second tier and, even then, has only played 4 times. Clear WP:NFOOTBALL failure.

Does not meet any of the criteria within WP:NFILM and fails WP:GNG. Searches of "Его звали Робсон" and "His name was Robeson" yield no coverage in independent sources. The Russian Wikipedia article was deleted today because there was no evidence of notability. I would oppose a merge to Paul Robeson or Paul Robeson Jr. or Itzik Feffer as the film isn't notable enough even for that. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 22:49, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In my view, there should be at least one reliable source on the film before performing a merge. The YouTube video itself isn't enough. I can see that the user has tried adding it to Robeson's article twice already and it's been correctly reverted. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 23:18, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Musician whose notability isn't established; I heard about the subject because of his conspiracy theories about vaccines on social media, not because of music. The article has been tagged for sources for five years, tagged for lack of notability for half a year. Nothing links to the article. The subject seems to use WP as promotion, already indeffed for self-promotion in 2019 [1] but back with a new account [2]. Neither conspiracy theories nor self-promotions are reasons to delete, but the lack of any established notability after years of being tagged means it probably should go.

WP:BLP of a person notable only as a city councillor. As always, this is not a level of political office that guarantees inclusion in Wikipedia in and of itself: to be notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia, he would have to be able to demonstrate a substantive reason why he could be considered a special case of significantly greater notability than most other city councillors, which nothing here does.

Stephenson was mayor of Ann Arbor, Michigan, a city that is not of such importance that the mayor would be default notable. All we have as sourcing is the local newspaper obituary. We need more than this to show that a mayor is notable. John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:11, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Ann Arbor is large enough that a substantive and well-sourced article about a mayor would very likely be kept, but is not so large or important that just two sentences, going no further than stating that he existed and sourced solely to a single obituary in the local newspaper, would be enough in and of itself. I'm obviously willing to reconsider this if somebody with much better access to archived Michigan/US media coverage than I've got can expand the article to feature significantly more sourcing and substance than this, but having an article about every mayor Ann Arbor had is not critically important enough to justify putting this little work into any of them.

This doesn't look like a "populated, legally recognized place" a la WP:GEOLAND. Satellite view for the given coordinates looks like a forest(?) with a roadhouse(?) off to the west. Taking this to AfD rather than prodding as is common for GEOLAND failures because it's an SNG I'm not very confident with, and I'd like to have people who are moreso take a look.

  • What several books and magazines reveal is that the reason you won't find it today with Google Maps is that it was the stop at the end of the Trace Fork Extension to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, which fell into disuse half a century ago in the 1970s. Uncle G (talk) 20:05, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leaning delete - Uncle G - Not sure what you found, but nothing I found indicates that indicates there was a community here. Old topographic maps show a railroad siding with four or five buildings, a mine, and a water tower. Old newspapers hits refer to the site as having a coal processing plant and a mine waste dumping site, all apparently related to Hobet Mining and Construction Co.'s Mine No. 7. I haven't seen anything mentioning people living here, though. From what I found, this was a railroad and mining feature, although I may have missed something. Willing to reconsider my !vote if significant coverage can be found, but this isn't looking like a WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG pass. Hog Farm Talk 00:26, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • What I found led me to think that it's more probable that the extension to the railway line and the Trace Fork Subdivision is the better subject (c.f. Peninsula Extension), although I didn't look for historical sources on that subject specifically, as this place was documented either in relation to that or in relation to the various "fork" rivers, which one source treated as the Pigeon Creeks, a group including Pigeon Creek itself, Trace Fork, Right Fork, et al.. But this does clarify where to look and what to look for. Look for something that exists now, and one won't find anything. Uncle G (talk) 08:30, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete Searching is plagued by false hits, a situation not improved by specifically looking for the C&O (especially numerous repetitions of the assertion that Thurmond was "a focus of gambling and scarlet night life"), but I did find one reference that confirmed what topos and older aerials show: there was, for a while, a mine tipple here for loading trains, presumably with coal. The oldest topos show nothing much there, and of course there's nothing there now, so I'm going to have to say this is not a notable location, and was never a settlement of any kind.

    • Comment - Johnpacklambert, did you just accept the claim made by the nominator or actually bother to check it? Did you do a WP:BEFORE search?

Why do you continue to persist with adding your one line contributions in AfDs such as this where you always !vote delete and don't engage with other contributors when they ask you questions?

  • Strong keep - Paul Broad was a notable figure when it came to transport & roads and politics during the term of a number of premiers of New South Wales and the sources show there is clear independent coverage. While made in good faith (as the page is a mess, but note WP:NOTCLEANUP), and while the nominator actually bothered to check the sources (which is commendable!), the problem with the nomination that it makes an (erroneous) assumption that if someone is interviewed then the source is automatically not notable. This is not correct, as none of WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:RS or WP:IS say that interviews are unreliable sources that can't be used to assess notability. I accept that (in general) some interviews are clearly promotional but there are enough sources in this article that clearly are independent and reliable. When you look at sources 1 and 9 (for example), they're by a major regional newspaper (the Sydney Morning Herald, one of Australia's most well-known newspapers), and are done by the paper's transport editor, and are clearly independent coverage of him. If they can't be used as reliable sources then most stuff on Wikipedia couldn't be. Quite clearly there are several sources in the list on the talk page that are notable. Broad's article clearly meets WP:BIO and it should be kept. Deus et lex (talk) 12:59, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus to delete. There is a clear absence of consensus for deletion, and some noted potential for expansion and improvement along the lines of better explaining the contents of each episode. As an additional aside, the list could be improved by cross-referencing Carpool Karaoke and indicating which episodes of the latter were broadcast on which episodes of the talk show.

A clear example of WP:NOT. Nominating along with the subpages: this has very little if any encyclopedic value. Seems like a running chronicle of a show which runs almost daily, but the only thing it provides is a listing of guests at the show along with, occasionally, some superficial details.

"What the show is about" can and should be discussed in the main article about the show? As to your WP:OSE I rebut that in the current form, these lists are clearly WP:INDISCRIMINATE material. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 00:25, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For sure, what the show is about is described at the main article, but having a list of episodes helps visualize what happens on a given episode. Having a list of episodes is a common feature of Wikipedia (and a good one at that) and I don't see why this particular TV series would be an exception. Listing every episode of a given television show would not be indiscriminate, which, I presume, would be a list of things made without care or distinction? -- Tavix (talk) 00:59, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed the link. Basically, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a database. A listing of every episode of a given television show still needs to abide by WP:V and WP:N - if the episodes are not independently notable from the main show (if there's, say, no specific coverage about them) then they likely don't belong here. A better place for this kind of thing is IMDB. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 01:04, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I can't address this issue well, or properly, because I am ill, but I will throw up a few points, and hope someone else can translate it into "official Wikipedia" arguments, because I just can't right now.
I haven't edited in a long time, but when I did, I did for many years. My former user name is Peacedance, but the old password and email are gone, so I am posting this without being signed in, but you can look up my editing history if you are interested.
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and this is a very unique and remarkable show. It is *not* another regular late night show.
The history of this show includes many notable episodes, such as Ferguson's interview with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, for which he won a Peabody; his 2007 monologue refusing to make fun of Britney Spears, which just went viral again last month; a series of uniquely personal shows, which included eulogies for his father and mother; the use of English pantomime traditions throughout the series, and I could go on. He also won the Banff World Media Festival's Peter Ustinov Lifetime Achievement award for the show.
Without an index of episodes, it is hard to even get started on documenting which ones are notable, and I think many are. It also seems clear that many people have put an awful lot of hard work into putting this list of episodes in. I use it to figure out which episodes exist, vs. dates when there were no shows, and thereby document narratives that carry over from show to show. IMDB is a mess compared to this succinct, tabled, linked, clear listing of dates, episodes, guests and bands.
I sincerely hope and urge that this not be deleted.

There is no doubt that the show itself is notable. However a simple listing of all of the episodes in the current state is really just a directory-like listing of not-encyclopedic information which is additionally not sourced to any secondary source. How is "James Corden's Journey to The Late Late Show featuring cameos by Leslie Moonves, Simon Cowell, Joel McHale, George Lopez, Lena Dunham, Billy Crystal, Eddie Redmayne, Katie Couric, Chris Rock, Chelsea Handler, Jay Leno, Allison Janney, former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA), Shia LaBeouf, and Meryl Streep, Every Tom Hanks Movie, James sings "Late Night Ballad"." (the first thing written for the first episode in the 2015 list) any kind of encyclopedic information: he had guests at his talk show? Yeah, sure, nobody would have guessed... I've looked through the supposedly "notable" episodes but much of it had nothing but WP:PRIMARY sources and what little seems like WP:NOTNEWS and it would likely be difficult to write full fledged articles about them. The few episodes that attracted awards or something more significant can be mentioned in the main articles. As for IMDB being a mess that is their problem. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 02:34, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Just FYI, I am neutral regarding James Cordon; I don't have an opinion there. I am arguing for Ferguson.
You suggested that IMDb would be the proper place "database" information. If so, then it is hardly fair to then argue that IMDB being a mess is irrelevant, where by mess I meant, incomplete, unlinked and difficult to navigate. Also, I don't see it as a database, I see it as an index.
Regarding primary sources, there are *tons* of cases all over Wikipedia, of television programs, where primary data is used and it is appropriate in this case. There is a guideline somewhere which says that if there is no reason to suspect the information is anything but straightforward, and it is the only source, you can use it.
Regarding Ferguson, just because there aren't articles for many? any? of his episodes doesn't mean they aren't notable, and that articles won't be built from them. And these lists are the base index structure from which it should be done. Articles could easily be written on the Britney Spears Monologue episode, and the Desmond Tutu interview, his innovative use of puppets in 2009, and I would argue many others.
Johnny Carson's list of episodes has descriptions of topics, the bands/songs/albums played, and cumulatively, they tell a story. Whether that "story" is in the optimal format isn't an argument for deletion. The same can be said/done for Ferguson, where episode descriptions could be added that document creative themes, entwining political events via key intellectual monologues and music.
Ferguson's show was very highly regarded for being extremely unique. Just to give you an (admittedly subjective) idea from IMDB:
The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson 8.4
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson 8.3
The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien 8.0
The Late Show with David Letterman 6.9
The Late Late Show with James Cordon 6.1
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno 5.2
If you are going to argue for deleting Ferguson, then why not Carson? Why not skip this argument, and argue that *all* lists of talk show episodes be deleted?
Given so many important topics on WP need work, I don't believe that focusing on deleting something as innocuous as this, and something so many people have worked so hard on is worth the meg of data it might save.
One of the strengths of Wikipedia is arguments for exceptions to rules, and based on past decisions regarding episode lists, there is more than enough justification and desire by many Wikipedians for keeping these indexes to Ferguson's show, as evidenced by all the other talk and television shows with episode lists.

Show popularity (like pageviews) and WP:OSE are not a valid reason. As for your IAR argument, I don't see how these lists "improve the encyclopedia" - they just list every single episode with very little detail overall. Given the sheer amount of them, it's unlikely that much have gained the "lasting and significant coverage" required by WP:GNG - any coverage is likely something along WP:NOTNEWS and routine levels, such as for ex. this (although it doesn't cover this show in particular).

  • Keep. This is an appropriate and useful list, notable as a whole, with clear scope and inclusion criteria. Contrary to repeated assertions above, the entries of a list do not need to be individually notable (Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists). Indeed, lists commonly exist "explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles". When episode lists are too long to fit in the main article, breaking it off to a separate page is standard. The further splitting by year may or may not be ideal (vs. dividing by season, or merging it all into one episode list for James Corden); I would not oppose reorganization. Adumbrativus (talk) 08:49, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    The problem is not that this doesn't have a clear scope or inclusion criteria. The problem is this doesn't present any encyclopedic information- i.e. WP:NOT. An encyclopedia is "a reference work or compendium providing summaries of knowledge" - a summary listing of all episodes in a TV series without any commentary whatsoever looks better fit for a database... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 14:23, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would be curious for someone to articulate criteria for which type of show merits stand-alone lists of all of its episodes.
    A big difference between this and most other sorts of similar lists is that these episodes are not part of a larger whole. There is no narrative, no [reality] competition, no driving force which moves from the first episode of a season to the last. It's a variety format. As such there's limited information we can provide to a reader by presenting them together.
    There are some shows which, when they air, get enough coverage for each episode that even though a list of episodes doesn't add all that much understanding of the show in general, there is nonetheless a good case for notability for a stand-alone list. Last Week Tonight and Saturday Night Live seem like a couple good examples here.
    I don't see the daily variety/news/talk programs as fitting into either the "enough coverage of each episode to be independently notable from the show" column or the "helps readers understand the show, but would be too cumbersome to include in the main article" column. As such, I'm leaning weak delete at this point. "Weak" because while it's hard to back these up with strong policy arguments, readers are visiting these pages. I may be able to be convinced along those lines, but I'm having a hard time. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:29, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not really in a position to articulate general criteria for keeping talk show episodes. That's a bigger discussion than the one we're having here, a la Carson. I can suggest criteria that, in aggregate, make Ferguson's worth keeping:
1. The show made a unique creative contribution, representing a significant departure from and an innovation in the usual format, and pushed the boundaries of network television censorship; and
2. The show has many episodes that were individually significant, and had significant cultural impact, and arguably there are others which have not been identified; and, perhaps most importantly,
3. Because Ferguson used the show as an "open book on my life", the show as a whole, year to year, tells an evolving creative, personal, and cultural story, and many individual episodes are essential elements of that story, which can be fleshed out in the episode descriptions. Former User Peacedance — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.71.12.150 (talk) 18:52, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
All of these points would require independent secondary sources to confirm them; and then enough coverage about the episodes themselves to justify having a list. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 19:09, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:SPINOFF and WP:SIGCOV. It's a notable show with many verifiable sources readily available in print for appropriate expansion. The content itself isn't full of fancruft. The list could be expanded to make it less of a directory design (i.e. providing a basic summary of each episode). Deleting the article isn't the answer for developing lists on notable topics with clear delimitation. I'm not seeing a good policy based argument for deletion here.4meter4 (talk) 01:50, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:NOTTVGUIDE and SIGCOV. A handful of individual talk show episodes may be notable, but that is by far the exception, rather than the rule. Daily episodes are far too numerous for such treatment. Show me where episodes are described in some detail anywhere outside of Wikipedia. There aren't any AFAIK, so there is no SIGCOV. There are a lot more such lists; even those during Johnny Carson's "reign" should go. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:34, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose/keep. LLSwCF is a culturally significant show that broke many conventions of the genre and is generally unlike most other network shows purported to be in the same class.
    Also, this proposed deletion is ambiguous and the deletion information link in the article for "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" links to a page titled "Late Late Show with James Corden." These are two different programs and should be treated separately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.131.13.69 (talk) 143.131.13.69 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
    This is not about deleting the shows. This is about deleting the lists of episodes. Two different things. The lists of programs are not different enough in significance to justify only deleting some of them. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 21:08, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Episode lists are common on Wikipedia for popular shows. There are also book volume descriptions for comics and manga, and some of these are featured. Saying that episode lists are WP:FANCRUFT is simply not true. Swordman97 talk to me 01:57, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Fiction is a whole different animal from talk shows. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:44, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leaning delete. I edit a lot in the TV area and I'm also a fan of episode lists, but these lists offer almost no value. The reason why episodic TV series have episode lists, as was mentioned above by another editor, is that there is a story or narrative that is important to the reader. Here we have summaries like "Crosswalk! The Musical, Musical Chers", which is almost meaningless. --Gonnym (talk) 13:03, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Horrible listcruft. This is not comparable to lists of episodes of shows like Star Trek, because those have a common narrative. Here, all we have is a few names per episode, which has no or extremely little encyclopedic value. --Randykitty (talk) 16:34, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List of railway stations in Colombia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This list article is an absolute mess. Let me start by saying that I am a Brit who has lived for over a decade in Bogota, so I know many of these station buildings first-hand. The list of stations fails WP:LISTN because it hasn't been discussed in any reliable sources as a group, and it fails WP:LISTCRIT because the title of this article is ambiguous... this is not a list of current railway stations in Colombia because there haven't been any passenger services at all in the country for several decades, so none of these stations currently serve any passengers. Technically speaking, this is a List of railway stations of the Bogota Savannah Railway as of 1953, but apart from being an unwieldy title, an identical list already exists at Bogota Savannah Railway, so this unsourced list is a duplicate, and in fact makes much more sense within the Bogota Savannah Railway article, as all these stations were part of that specific rail network. I should add that of this list, some stations still exist for freight transport, some exist for the tourist train, some exist as buildings which have been repurposed, some are abandoned and derelict, and some have disappeared completely, so trying to establish a definitive list of current stations depends on the criteria for defining a "station" in 2021, hence failing WP:LISTCRIT. There were also dozens of other stations belonging to other railway franchises elsewhere in the country (and many of these buildings still exist as well, none of them serving any trains now), but as they aren't mentioned at all here, this list makes it look like the only railway stations in Colombia were in and around Bogota, which is completely untrue. The rest of the article talks about existing and planned future lines (not stations, hence confusing the scope of the article), which are better addressed in Rail transport in Colombia, and in fact already are, with better sources. So everything in this article already exists elsewhere, in less confusing articles, so there's nothing to merge. Richard3120 (talk) 19:51, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment WP:LISTCRIT is definitely satisfied, and WP:LISTN says "one accepted reason...," not the "only reason." This type of list exists for other countries as well, though a couple I double-checked appear in similarly undeveloped states. Stations need not serve passengers to be included on the list, and I really don't think there's any controversy about what "station" means in 2021, as the stations could be all defunct or disappeared but still be valid members of the list (under a "former" heading). I'm commenting instead of !voting because I think this is a valid list article and deletion is not cleanup, but there may be a conversation to be had about List of railway stations in country articles, and the cleanup here may require WP:TNT, so I'm square in the "netural" ground. This is neither a clear keep nor a clear delete, but we need to decide how best to clean it up. SportingFlyer T·C 20:11, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer: thanks for your comment. To be honest, I can't see how any of "unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources" is met at WP:LISTCRIT. I did consider a rename to List of former railway stations in Colombia... the problem is that I can't find any sources, reliable or otherwise, that would provide me with the names for that list. The Spanish Wikipedia includes around 150 stations broken down over several pages for the individual lines, but no sources for any of those stations. I'm just worried that we'll end up with a long list of names with no sources and no context. Richard3120 (talk) 20:46, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If the goal is just to represent that places had stations at one point, that's probably fine. There are places for lists of things which aren't notable enough for their own article - you're right that we just need sources. The Spanish language articles on Colombian railroads all contain station lists, so the information has to be somewhere. SportingFlyer T·C 21:24, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • If we had enough articles on notable stations, this would undoubtedly pass WP:LISTPURP; LISTN really has no utility in analyzing lists of things by what they are and where they are located. If that's not the case, however, this title should at least exist as a redirect, I would assume to the more general Rail transport in Colombia article, where there is a section that just points to this list, though the nom thinks it's covered at Bogotá Savannah Railway. I guess that would work if all notable stations, past or present, would be covered by that topic; Category:Railway stations in Colombia just has two articles at present other than this list. I am not concerned with the former vs. current distinction that the nom is, as that status is something that could be identified and explained in article text, wherever it is found. There is also a Category:Defunct railway stations category structure. postdlf (talk) 21:01, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Postdlf: well, the list DOES exist at Bogotá Savannah Railway, I'm not sure what you're getting at. As the Rail transport in Colombia article doesn't include any stations, I'm not sure why redirecting there would be helpful. The problem with the section in Rail transport in Colombia is that it is titled "Stations served", and as there are no stations served anywhere in the country, that's not a useful section at all. The only notable railway station in the whole country is the De la Sabana railway station which is the main station in Bogota: the General Santander station also currently included in Category:Railway stations in Colombia is part of the TransMilenio rapid bus transit system, so it's a bus station, not a train station, and shouldn't be in that category. Richard3120 (talk) 21:23, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I actually just discovered Category:Medellín Metro stations, I would expect those to also be included in a list of railway stations in the county. postdlf (talk) 21:39, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, although absolutely none of them are notable apart from being metro stations and are probably pretty much unsourced as well. Richard3120 (talk) 21:56, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Unsourced isn't a concern here so long as it can be sourced. Regardless, that means that not every railway station we'd be listing is part of the Bogotá Savannah Railway. I'm leaning towards keep and expand this list instead. postdlf (talk) 22:09, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That is exactly my concern – I'm very dubious that they can be sourced from anything other than the Medellin metro system's website, so WP:PRIMARY, as there is nothing remarkable or historical about any of the metro stations. If the consensus is to expand the list, then fine, but I still suspect it will be unsourced from anything other than primary sources... like the majority of lists on Wikipedia, sadly.

  • Keep. Valid topic to be split out of world-wide "List of railway stations" or "List of railway stations in South America" which should be considered to exist, or which could naturally be created if they do not. And covering, like almost almost all lists of places such as historic sites, both current and former examples. --Doncram (talk) 16:01, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, the list should list railway stations or systems of them, not cities. Up to just now i think it only seemed to name one railway station having an article, Bogotá La Sabana railway station, but some others are mentioned by name too, and I have just edited the list to make them the items not their cities. And photos should be added, see the category of railway stations in Columbia at Commons. I am adding a couple photos, but the list could/should be converted into a table format with one column for images. If there are very few stations known and listed by name (whether as a redlink or not), then it would also be okay to merge this up into a List of railway stations in South America, to be split back out in the future when size justifies. --Doncram (talk) 16:13, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are numerous stations which are listed national monuments of Columbia, all of which are individually notable and should be added as redlinks. French-language wikipedia article Liste des monuments nationaux du Norte de Santander itemizes 19 of them, e.g. "Gare ferroviaire de Patillales", listed as a national monument in 1996. The corresponding English-language list, List of National Monuments of Colombia#Norte de Santander, is not as well laid out and developed, but does show numerous "Estación del ferrocarril" places (which should be redlinks rather than not-links). These are mostly former railway stations but they are all current historic sites (not destroyed and delisted places). --Doncram (talk) 17:24, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Doncram: I can see which way this AfD is going... as it is clearly going to be a keep, I think the list will be far too long to be merged into a list of railway stations in South America, so i think it should stay as just Colombia for now... also bearing in mind that hopefully within five years Bogota will at last have the first line of its proposed metro system, so there will be more stations to be added. Just for your interest, I believe the photo at the top of this webpage is the Patillales station you mention above. Richard3120 (talk) 20:18, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I didn't know about the passenger service in Barrancabermeja, as it's only a month old... I'm not sure if it counts as a train, it's literally a bus with the wheels removed and mounted on a railway carriage chassis – you can see it in this video. As far as I can tell, it doesn't run around Barranca (as the locals call it) but between Barranca and Puerto Berrio, a town several kilometers upstream along the Magdalena River. Richard3120 (talk) 20:43, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the interesting info and links. All I was basing my mention of that passenger service is from the Rail transport in Colombia article, which states "...Coopsercol that provides general daily passenger service around Barrancabermeja, and its surroundings (Sogmoso, Garcia Cadena, Puerto Berrio, and Puerto Parra)." Please do feel free to amend what is presented.
As you see, I did add a number more stations, and it is no longer just a list of cities having active stations in 1953. I could start a table to include all the National Monument-listed ones, but few have photos (per the French language list-article anyhow) and I don't know how to get access to listing/nomination documents that might provide a lot of info about each one (which I hope exist, as is the case for U.S. historic places listed on the National Register of Historic Places), so it would be pretty sparse. But maybe it would be good to get started that way? --Doncram (talk) 23:45, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So, we must wonder again that the nomination states "my BEFORE doesn't find anything". What did this BEFORE consist of, if it didn't use Google? Reviewing the nominator's contributions it appears that the nomination process took less than 3 minutes following unrelated work on a DYK and Jew with a coin. Piotrus's process seems to be perfunctory and preposterously pointy. Having been put to more trouble to demonstrate this, other editors should be spared this vexation and so my !vote is now Speedy Keep. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:21, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nom. WP:BEFORE gave me some results bot those are ALL not independent, in-depth coverage. CommanderWaterford (talk) 16:17, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Another source is the lecture by EM Wood at UCL, which charters the rise of the role, and has tons of reliable sources to back it up.In the actual The Times it discussed back in 2008 why the role meant more teachers were applying for head jobs [9], while there is stuff in the supplement Times Educational Supplement, [10], [11], [12].

We also have from the specialist press:[13], [14], [15], [16]. And intergrale to UK Ofsted inspections [17]. It is a recognised profession. Note I am not an SBM. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 06:38, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read The Guardian piece or the E W Willis lecture? They are Sigcov as they show the rise of the role from the original position of Bursary to SBM. The current article is rubbish, and looks like it has been copied from an interview with the LASBM done in the Ed Exec. TNT may be the best think for the article, but the role is notable enough.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 08:40, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't talk of TNT as this is a toxic military explosive used in devices such as this to attack London, where I live. It is therefore an offensive and inappropriate metaphor. The page WP:TNT, to which the nomination refers, is not policy, being merely a gratuitous essay with "no official status, and do not speak for the Wikipedia community". The relevant policies here are WP:ATD and WP:IMPERFECT which state that "Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome. ... If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page.". Andrew🐉(talk) 11:59, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -"School business management competency framework". GOV.UK. 1 May 2014. Retrieved 31 March 2021. If it is notable enough to have a 46 page government document on the duties and the career path, it is WP:N. The article itself was not written by a Wikipedian- so I have improved the markup. Glancing at the rendering it looked to be referenced- but in many ways it was a useful linkfarm- I tried to convert them to references but gave up. This is a new career path necessitated by the Academy program and the need for each school to replicate the functions of the LEA- In private and GM schools, these functions were provided by the bursar and his staff. The bursar article needs similar updates. ClemRutter (talk) 16:24, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I assume the nominator knew this, since it's step 7 of WP:BEFORE part B. The nominator edits in Taiwan-related articles and I can't even read the language, so is there a reason that coverage was not considered to be a pass of WP:GNG?

There are strong doubts that such a place exists.

  • OpenStreetMap data gives a "building" within a "farmyard". This has been a one-sentence article for almost 13 years, and that sentence is a falsehood. This is unverifiable. Uncle G (talk) 19:15, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Having spent a bit of time researching this the best I can as someone who speaks neither Armenian or Azeri I have been completely unable to find anything that supports the existence of this "town". The coordinates in the article take you to a random farmhouse and halfway up a mountain. The article was created based on only an entry in a geographical place names database, and given the huge number of erroneously created articles that have been deleted over the last year or so (I think we're up at over 1000 so far) I'm hesitant to believe this place exists purely on a database entry. User:AntonSamuel has checked the Armenian census records and confirmed that no place by this name was listed in the 2011 census, and at least one other editor who seems to speak fluent Armenian has been unable to locate any sources (see the page history). The source Carlossuarez46 added to the article is by an author who has worked extensively on the Western Azerbaijan political concept, i.e. the belief that all of Armenia is lost Turkic lands that rightfully belong to Azerbaijan, Here's his AZ wikipedia page. That book is naturally going to be biased and I wouldn't consider it to be a reliable source for the names of places. Everything I see here points to this being a random farmhouse that has been mistakenly entered into a name database and has resultingly had an Azeri equivalent name published in a book. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 21:32, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Only two foreign sources included about the existence of this place, one without references (removed) the other named after a political concept/view. Town not mentioned in the Armenian 2011 census, nor in any other Armenian sources.
  • The source I added which you removed because it had "no references"(?!?) specifically said the village was abandoned in 1949, so of course it's not going to be in the 2011 census. SportingFlyer T·C 15:25, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • The census was done on all regions of Armenia, if the town is/was existed it would've been included. There is no mention of the town in other Armenian sources as well, and it doesn't show up in any maps too. This place most likely doesn't exist and there is only one supposed source for it which you added yourself, the other one being a political concept/view.--ZaniGiovanni (talk) 15:38, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Maybe Armenia is different, but censuses don't typically include former places. WP:GEOLAND requires only WP:V and this is a historic place which has been verified by the Azeri government. SportingFlyer T·C 16:36, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • If that place exists it isn't former. There is no other verification of that place existing including maps, other Armenian sources, etc.. other than the one you included.--ZaniGiovanni (talk) 16:53, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • We have two Azeri sources discussing this as a former place, inhabited by Azeris, and if you search the Azeri term in Google it comes up with a Google link which calls it a "removed Azeri village in Armenia." Considering you've re-added the hoax and verification tags which I removed from the article, along with the Azeri translation of the place name which would be useful for finding additional sources, and your entire contribution history has been edit warring on Armenian/Azerbaijani topics, I'm finding very hard to assume good faith here. SportingFlyer T·C 17:27, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
            • The Azeri term comes from Azeri wiki version of the page which has the other source named after bogus political view/concept. I re-added hoax as there are no other sources beside the one you added and the political concept theory “source” is bogus and unreliable. Avoid casting accusations of “edit-warring” when my edits were done in good faith and resolved with the help of admin. Unless there are any other sources besides the political concept one and the one you added, the page should be removed imo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZaniGiovanni (talkcontribs) 17:53, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Before someone spams WP:NOTDUP and WP:CLN, the supposed benefits of lists enumerated there don't seem to exist or be relevant for this one in particular (unlike, say, List of consuls as compared with Category:Roman consuls). The very purpose of this page is to be identical with the category, only it has the added difficulty of requiring editors to add content repeatedly every time a new list is created.

  • Speedy Keep The nomination fails to grasp our policy which is documented at WP:CLN. Lists, categories and other navigational tools are not alternatives; they are complementary. If they agree with each other then this is a good thing as it tends to indicate that there are no omissions. Lists have more potential when they are stable, as they are likely to be in this case.

  • Maps are so easy to find they're a non-entity here, whereas "governor" and "province" can just be linked in the category page itself (I actually doubt anyone browsing won't already have a sufficient inkling of what these things mean – the qualifier "Roman" doesn't change the common-sense meaning of those words). Navigation is much simpler when the means for it are direct and straightforward, which categories are, and articles with screen pollutants (like superfluous maps and stray text) are not. Categories also have no need for maintenance, whereas articles (by your own admission) do. It's just an unnecessary bother. Avilich (talk) 23:58, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This was previously BLP PRODed by User:Sir Sputnik and User:Johnpacklambert but contested both times. Still zero indication that this footballer is actually notable. Digging through databases, I have found that Soccerway has him down appearing as a substitute on one occasion but with no other appearances. Soccerpunter has nothing. Tribuna has one appearance.

The only news source that I can find is this one trivial mention in The Borneo Post. There is no evidence that this footballer meets WP:GNG and there is consensus in well over 100 recent AfDs that a trivial passing of NFOOTBALL is insufficient when GNG is not met.

Simply does not meet any inclusion guideline. Sabah FA were not playing in a league listed at WP:FPL when he allegedly made 6 appearances for them. DYS F.C. were at least two tiers below professional level during his spell there. No indication of playing for any other clubs, therefore no indication of passing WP:NFOOTBALL.

The article has no decent sources and a Malaysian search yielded nothing so I can't see how WP:GNG is satisfied. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 22:29, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Draftified earlier this week but recreated in main space. Subject definitely fails WP:NFOOTBALL but I suppose the debate is whether or not he passes WP:GNG. No WP:SIGCOV cited in the article and searches mostly come back with passing mentions and 'hype' articles on Liverpool-affiliated websites like This is Anfield and Rousing the Kop. Some coverage in The Irish Sun and Irish Mirror but I would argue that it's below the GNG level.

No opposition to a 2nd draftification if that is the consensus from this. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 14:22, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep : I'm returning to Wiki after a long hiatus but I always believed the criteria was to play a professional match of football. St. Patrick's Ath and Shamrock Rovers are both professional teams in the League of Ireland. The head coach states this in post match interview which I have cited. He has also played two EFL trophy games for Liverpool and been on the bench for Champions League group stage games. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kilcock123 (talk15:34, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The guideline that you are referring to is WP:FOOTYN, which is no longer the guideline. It is WP:NFOOTBALL now (I can't remember when it changed), which requires a footballer to have played in a game between two clubs playing in a league listed at WP:FPL. Jaros has never played in such a game. The EFL trophy games don't count as they were U21 games, see Soccerway. Sitting on the bench doesn't satisfy NFOOTBALL either. Do you have evidence that he passes WP:GNG instead? In my view, this should have stayed in draft space. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 15:41, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I found two different newspaper sources claiming him to be the one to watch for St Patrick's this season. I'm not sure if they meet the guidelines? comment added by Kilcock123
This? I don't think it's enough on its own. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 17:46, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that one, but also these two articles which name check him as one to watch this season - [26] and this one https://extra.ie/2021/03/19/sport/soccernews/league-of-ireland-new-arrivals . comment added by Kilcock123 (talk18:47, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Since GNG, requires that Jaros be addressed directly and in detail, I would argue that those two references don't show significant coverage and, therefore, don't contribute towards GNG Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 19:48, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Where can I complain over the current guidelines? It is not fair on League of Ireland footballers who the vast majority are professional.

  • I was the one who created the original article last month, after he'd made his senior debut for St. Pat's - I (mistakenly, it transpires) thought that as he'd played in a professional game between two professional sides that was enough. It turns out the League itself isn't fully professional, so I guess by that logic it should be merged with the existing draft of the article I created. However, I think it's worth saying that this seems to be a fairly daft metric for notability, and suggest it should be on the professional status of the club, not of the league.

  • Redirect to List of Cornwall County Cricket Club List A players. All the information in this article has plainly been extracted from the score card of the single List A match this person played in, and pure database scrapes are emphatically not sufficient to establish notability for the purposes of a stand-alone article. Such data should be laid out in tabular format and I have to say that the suggested target is an excellent example of how (IMO) these kinds of statistics should be presented.

The topic is a company therefore WP:NCORP is the applicable guideline. Most of the references are based on company announcements or basic financial reporting. I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, references to date fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic therefore fails WP:NCORP. The topic was "soft deleted" as an editor said it was a "company brand wiki page. Please restore the page so that I can make edits to it" but all the only edit was to update the company logo.

  • Comment: Presumably, the secondary sources cited in the article aren't giving it significant enough coverage, right? If so, then I'd agree with deletion. It also reads like it was written by the company right now (although of course that specific problem could be fixed). DesertPipeline (talk) 04:47, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hi DesertPipeline, NCORP requires that references are *both* significant *and* contain "Independent Content". We don't regard references that rely on information provided by the company (or a source connected with the company) as good enough - "echo chamber" references do not establish notability. Whether the "echo chamber" reference is in a "secondary" source and "significant" doesn't matter if it doesn't contain "Independent Content". The references in the article all fail our criteria for establishing notability as follows:
As you can see, the criteria failed by the above references was ORGIND first and foremost - that is, the content of those articles was not "independent" but relied entirely on information provided by the company or their officers. HighKing++ 13:28, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Navy Commodore (United States) who commanded USS Missouri (1841) on the first powered crossing of the Atlantic by an American steam warship and presumably was in command when it caught fire and was destroyed. Also commanded the Home Squadron from 1852 to 1855.

  • Keep -- I think.
    • "commanded Beagle on her maiden voyage to the Caribbean."
    • "was in command of Missouri during her historic crossing of the Atlantic, the first by a steam-power vessel."
    • "commanded the Home Squadron from March 1852 until March 1855."
    • It looks like there were only 88 Union and Confederate navy admirals and probably commodores during the U.S. Civil War. Durindaljb (talk) 20:42, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment All unreferenced since 2009. Commanding a ship on its maiden voyage is unremarkable. Missouri was supposedly the first crossing by an American steam-powered vessel, but even that is arguable if you read Steamship. He died before the Civil War, so not sure of its relevance. Mztourist (talk) 02:59, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Reply Well, if he wasn't alive during the period of the actual American Civil War, that would make his rank or promotion even more notable. Technically, the United States didn't have an admiral, 4-star rank, until after the Civil War anyway when Farragut and his brother Porter were promoted to that rank in 1866 and 1870. He also appears that he may come from a somewhat prominent family also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Durindaljb (talkcontribs) 06:50, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
His rank is irrelevant, coverage is what matters, in any event Commodore was only a 1 star rank. Similarly his family is irrelevant because notability is WP:NOTINHERITED so I don't understand why you have gone and added details of his relatives. Mztourist (talk) 07:16, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree that is a bit excessive, but it is generally reasonable to note the substantial development in the article since the nomination. @Bearian and WilliamJE: I think the WP:GNG is reasonably well-met at this point. The subject's death was reported (that I have found without excessive effort) in some detail in three newspapers, in two cities; the Washington Evening Star report was substantial, and noted funeral details signifying an important career (particularly that various branches were ordered to attend).

  • Keep per WP:HEY Nangears (talk) 04:23, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Article is vastly improved and better sourced since nomination. For my part I'm looking at newspapers.com for 1857. I see the subject's obituary is widely reprinted. Scores of newspapers reported or commented on the death within a week or two. From a preliminary search I estimate hundreds of newspaper mentions (most mere mentions) of the subject in the years before his death (including a false report of his death in 1853, also reprinted). Subject was clearly newsworthy in his day. Navy list of 1854 confirms subject's command of home fleet ([28]). Nominator is correct that we can no longer presume significant coverage because of subject's rank and station; the article needed RS and now has that in abundance. Lots of expansion possible.

One editor even said, if another editor feels this should be deleted, they can renominate and this close should not be considered as a normal Keep in that discussion. You had voted Accredited, degree-awarding tertiary institution, which is factually not true because as I had pointed out in another AFD there is a difference between an institution awarding degrees as a private deemed university and an institution affiliated to a university. I'd argue that universities are inherently notable while colleges are not. This particular institution is not a deemed university and hence has no inherent notability.

I know. It is amazing how little regulation there was in Wikipedia before about 2008, and how many articles that were created before 2008 have never been reviewed. With educational institutions the end to wild west inclusion standards did not come until 2018 maybe. Even to this day if one tries to prod delete an article on a place that can in any we be interpreted as a secondary institution when the article is sourced to only that institutions website it will be reverted. There is still huge resistance to anything approaching actual application of reasonable inclusion criteria. Do not get me started on how many articles on Catholic bishops are sourced only to one blog entry.

As far as I know, there is no such term as "Hong Kong Foundation Day", and Google isn't turning anything up. The article appears to be WP:OR. It cites this page which contains an extremely minimal use of the term by a publication that I would characterise as blog-like and not so authoritative. The bulk of the article constitutes tangential material about the history of Hong Kong and etymology of Chinese words. I propose deletion unless genuine use of this term in reliable secondary sources can be established. Citobun (talk) 08:38, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not turning up anything relevant for those. The results for "Hong Kong Day" are mainly about the Maxim's-owned eatery of that name. "Festival of Hong Kong" was the name of a recurring event back in the 1970s, but that too is unrelated. Citobun (talk) 11:45, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The nomination states that the title "Hong Kong Foundation Day" is not appropriate since the only source mentioning the name is [29] which is considered to be unreliable. but I don't think it's a problem since there are rather some sources for 香港開埠日 or 香港開埠 in Chinese and this might just be a translation. The "Etymology" section could be shortened a bit but the term "開埠日" is considered to be quite special so some words should be needed to explain that. "Activities" section is definitely appropriate and supported by various reliable sources. Sun8908Talk 11:57, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The top Google result for "香港開埠日", which is the subject of this article, is the Cantonese Wikipedia article created on the same day as this article, by the same user. The other results are user-generated content. Citobun (talk) 12:02, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think the previous version of the article might be more well formed for the article structure which has provided [30][31][32] as sources and explained activities during the day. Sun8908Talk 12:18, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: talk Hello, Citobun. It makes me sad to hear that you feel compelled to nominate this article for its deletion. To be clear to all others to this discussion, I created the page and its Cantonese page. I do admit that I'm not a very good Wikipedian, and constructive criticism is always welcome. As the creator of the article, naturally, I don't want to see it go. And so, I will try to address the concerns you raised.
I guess it can be safely said that 26 January 1841 was a day of great significance in Hong Kong's history. Otherwise, the members of the UK House of Commons would not have tabled a motion in Parliament to mark the day just earlier this year in January (source: "Early Day Motions: 180th anniversary of the founding of modern Hong Kong".). Nor would the Hong Kong Colonial Government issued its very first commemorative stamp for the 50th anniversary of it (source: "About Us: Hongkong Post".). It would be even more less likely that members from both Houses of UK Parliament would have spent the time to take videos for the day like they did this year, in addition to the motion (source: "Hong Kong 180th Anniversary - Part 1: Messages from British parliamentarians".).
However, and admittedly, this day of 26 January 1841 and its three English names (Foundation Day, Hong Kong Day, and Festival of Hong Kong) are perhaps not very well known for English speakers or in the English language. Even more so it's that this day has never been an official holiday. That is why a Google search does not turn up a lot, and the English search results that turn up are "not so authoritative" as you pointed out.
Yet, I would argue that this day, 開埠日 (hōi fauh yaht), is fairly well established in the Cantonese language with many reliable search results online. Or a local Hong Kong Cantonese news outlet, Apple Daily, would not have had an educational video out just yesterday with a significant portion related to this day (source: particularly around 7:43 "這才是真實的香港史︱水坑口開啟中國近代「國恥」?".).
And about your concern with the extent of Chinese etymology in this article, this Apple Daily's educational video also touches on its Chinese etymology as well, explaining the character 埠 (fauh) means "pier" (around 7:36 of the video). And if a local Cantonese news outlet for its Cantonese audiences would take the effort to explain what the character means. Is it not even more so warranted for English speakers?
Moreover, out of the three English names for this day (Foundation Day, Hong Kong Day, or Festival of Hong Kong), Foundation Day was chosen as the title for the article is because the Hong Kong judiciary and Legislative Council described the event of the British's taking possession of Hong Kong as "the founding of Hong Kong" (source: Paragraph 1034 of "judgment". and P. 16348 of "LegCo Record of Proceedings" (PDF).). UK parliamentarians likewise use a similar term (source: see the Commons motion above). Thus, the name of Foundation Day matches the best with official records than the other two, and this was why it was chosen.
I hope the above addresses your concerns. Best regards, --Magnet larry (talk) 14:05, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: talk Hello, Citobun. I would like to supplement some resources that I just found online. Here is an article from Hong Kong Free Press celebrating 26 January back in 2016. (source: "Happy Birthday Hong Kong – 175 years old today".). Hong Kong Free Press is a pretty well recognised English news outlet in Hong Kong. I hope this English news article from Hong Kong Free Press can help demonstrate the significance of 26 January and its worthiness of a place in the Wikipedia world.
Also, here is another article from the Chinese news media Hong Kong Economic Times back in 2017 about 26 January, and the article even calls the day 紀念日 (literally "memorial day"). And as the tile of this article suggests, this article is about the meaning of 開埠 (hōi fauh) (source: "今天香港開埠176年紀念日 究竟「開埠」點解?".). Again, if a Chinese news outlet would spend its valuable resources to explain the meaning of the Chinese characters of the Chinese name of this day to its Chinese-speaking audiences, it is perhaps also advisable to do so for English speakers.
I hope the above further addresses your concerns. Best regards, --Magnet larry (talk) 15:15, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: talk Hello, Citobun. I am very sorry for bothering you again. I just want to share with you below some more news articles I found online are related to 26 January. Yet, these articles may be political sensitive. So, I think I had better not comment much about these articles. I will just basically list them and quote a few sentences straight out from them that are directly relevant to 26 January, but, again, I want them to show you that 26 January is of significance and worthy a Wiki page about it. Thank you.--Magnet larry (talk) 16:33, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- "UK rights group calls for sanctions on modern Hong Kong's 180th 'birthday'". Quote:“[January 26] marks 180 years of an important global relationship between Great Britain and Hong Kong,” said James Song, a member of Fight for Freedom.
- "Ai Weiwei warns China is 'greatest challenge the West has ever faced'". Quote: The Chinese artist, who is now based in the UK, spoke during a parliamentary event to mark the 180th anniversary of the founding of modern Hong Kong.
- "Irish have place in our history". Quote: Last week marked the 180th anniversary of the founding of modern Hong Kong.
  • Response to the above comments addressed to me: Looking at the above material, I think an article about the anniversary could be warranted. But I think the problem is that the current article is trying to portray the anniversary as something it isn't, namely an established commemorative occasion with a proper name. The title "Hong Kong Foundation Day" was selected arbitrarily by the article's author. None of the above sources uses it. The Chinese etymological sections are absolutely not necessary. Why is it not enough to explain that hoi means "open"? Why is it necessary to describe the historical development of the Chinese character? I don't get it. Same with the bit about the definition of the word "foundation". Finally, if the article stays it needs to be stripped of the huge amount of WP:OR, including WP:SYNTHESIS. Please review Wikipedia:Citing sources. The claims in the article should be directly verifiable using the reliable sources cited. Editors should not add their own interpretation, speculation, and commentary to the encyclopedia. Thank you. Citobun (talk) 08:41, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Here is an example of WP:SYNTHESIS in the article: "Unlike for Cantonese speakers, there is no uniform way of referring to 26 January in English." Two citations are given, one of which mentions "Foundation Day" while the other refers to it as "Hong Kong Day". The claim that "there is no uniform way of referring to 26 January in English" is not a conclusion stated by either of the cited sources. That said, neither of the cited references are reliable sources. Citobun (talk) 08:48, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed for the article needing some cleanups. The "Etymology" section should be trimmed or entirely deleted. but WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP, as long as a subject has sources to suggest notability, it should be kept and improved when the article is fairly sourced and one has already done everything they were able to. Sun8908Talk 11:20, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
User:Sun8908 Hello, Sun8908. For the issue about the etymology section, perhaps I overkilled it. Like I briefly mentioned above, I was just thinking that if most native Cantonese speakers needed explanation, then, it must be even more so required for English speakers. That’s why I dived deep into it. And then, I thought maybe I would need to do the same for English when I had done the Chinese etymology. Anyway, if you think that the etymology section is reductant, I won’t have a problem to see it go. Please feel free to cut whatever needs to be cut from the section or even the entire section. Thank you. --Magnet larry (talk) 02:01, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
User:Sun8908 Hello, Sun8908. To save everyone's time, I took your advice and deleted the etymology section. And you can have a look. Thank you. --Magnet larry (talk) 11:34, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment : talk Hello, Citobun. Thank you for your reply. I am glad to hear that you agree that 26 January could be warranted. And to further show you that it is indeed warranted, I am listing below some more references.
One issue that you encountered was that you could not find creditable Chinese sources. And when I do a Google search by date range, not just a regular search, for this year’s 26 January or the 180th anniversary, it provides quite a few results from well-known Hong Kong Chinese news outlets of different political leanings. Also, if we take a closer look at these articles, it is not too difficult to notice that they were written by news outlets with different political leanings. As such, perhaps, they reflect how much the media perceive the relevance and value of this day for the Hong Kong public. Or, otherwise, perhaps, these articles would not have had been published in the first place by these many news agencies across the political spectrum. In addition, three out of the four news outlets cited below have actual, physical print circulation, which, I think, makes them tend to be more risk-averse to publishing anything that is insignificant to the public. And so, I hope the following can help further demonstrate that 26 January is important enough to have its own wiki page and does not deserve deletion:
-"香港開埠180年|香港原名Heong Kong是條圍村?". from Apple Daily
- "香港開埠 180 周年紀念". from Stand News
- "香港開埠180年 被遺忘的一些歷史". from Ming Pao
- "香港開埠180年-一-歷戰火洗禮-艱難謀生的四十年代". from HK01
As to your concern about “an established commemorative occasion with a proper name”, if this had been the case, perhaps I probably would not have emphasised that "Unlike for Cantonese speakers, there is no uniform way of referring to 26 January in English", which you pointed out this emphasis as a problem.
I think all of the problems that you have raised seem somehow directly or indirectly more or so related to translation, like User:Sun8908 suggested. On the one hand, there is this 開埠日 having been around like always. On the other hand, there is no direct English translation for 開埠. So, a few English names have emerged for it. The most popular one is “Hong Kong Day”, as seen online these days:
- "香港故事(二):阿群帶路". Quote: 【26/1|香港開埠180週年紀念日 Happy Hong Kong Day! 】
- "twitter of David Li Hoiyuk". Quote: #香港開埠 #HongKongDay #HongKong180
- "香港開埠180週年 The 180th Hong Kong Day".
Certainly, these are not very authoritative. But at least they show how people actually translate or call this day in English when they need to and that I have not been making it up.
Then, there is the word “founding” getting translated into each other as 開埠 (hōi fauh), which I believe I have already provided some reliable references, and so, I guess I won’t do it here again.
And then there is also the English word “foundation”, which I have not provided too many references here so far. Actually, “foundation” is also an acceptable and official way to translate it or call it in English probably because "foundation" is a synonym of "founding". It’s just that “foundation” seems to be used by historians more than other people, though not always. Here below are some examples that use the English word “foundation”, which the wiki page uses for its title. The first one is particularly relevant, though it is a bit dated, because it was a resolution passed in 1941 by the Legislative Council for “the hundredth anniversary of the Colony's foundation”. The second one is from the website of the Hong Kong Herbarium of the current government saying, “During the first 30 years after the foundation of Hong Kong.” And if one takes a look at this website’s Chinese version, it should prove that the government translates “foundation” and “開埠” (hōi fauh) into each other. Other examples are from books written by historians. The first two books were published by Hong Kong University Press and the third one by Joint Publishing. These two publishers are very well known in Hong Kong. So, I hope the following references can prove to you that the English word “foundation” is actually one possible accepted translation of 開埠 (hōi fauh).
- "Minutes (Resolution: 100th Anniversary) (P.2), Legislative Council" (PDF). Quote: The form of the resolution I suggest is: That the Legislative Council of this Colony, on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the Colony's foundation…
- "About Us: History". Quote: During the first 30 years after the foundation of Hong Kong…
- "Forgotten Souls: A Social History of the Hong Kong Cemetery". (ISBN: 9789622099906) Quote: The first opium war eventually led to the foundation of Hong Kong and influenced the mindset of the residents.
- "A Macao Narrative". (ISBN: 9789622090774) Quote: …until the foundation of Hong Kong and the opening of Shanghai gave wider scope for their energies…
- "How South Asians Helped to Make Hong Kong - History, Culture, Profiles, Food, Shopping" (PDF). (ISBN: 9789620443756) Quote: Indians - Here Since the Foundation of Hong Kong
All in all, I think User:Sun8908 is right. At least for me, translation did give me some headaches when I tried to create the page. And if you need to change anything about the page, please feel free to. Thank you. --Magnet larry (talk) 02:01, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Hello all. I think I just found something that I believe is quite relevant to our discussion here. That is the advice given by Wiki about translation. Hong Kong is of course a multilingual city (mostly Cantonese though). So, translation plays a big part of life here. The same is perhaps also true for wiki pages related to Hong Kong, and the advice given about translation includes the following:
WP:HOWTRANS : The English text should be understandable to a wide audience, so – other things being equal – use everyday English expressions rather than jargon or foreign expressions. It may be necessary to add material explaining terms or cultural concepts unfamiliar to English-speaking readers.
I am not citing this to try to resurrect the etymology section. I just think this sums up my original intention of adding the etymology section to the English page pretty well. Of course, I did a poor job. And I took the advice and deleted it. Thank you.--Magnet larry (talk) 11:28, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Request to withdraw nomination – nominator here. On reconsideration I think the article is salvageable if it is renamed (to something more general), simplified, and stripped of extraneous content and non-reliable sources. That discussion should happen on the article's talk page rather than at AfD. Citobun (talk) 12:01, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: talk Hello, Citobun. I am very glad to see that you no longer think that 26 January does not deserve a wiki page on its own. And I understand that there must be a lot of ways to make the page a better one.
Yet, there is a thing that I would like to clarify with you. It seems that you are not saying that it is wrong or misleading to call or translate 開埠日 (hōi fauh yaht) into English as “foundation day”. However, you would like to see it be renamed because you want it to be “something more general”, and this is one of the conditions of you withdrawing your deletion nomination.
I would like to see whether I am misunderstanding you. Thank you.--Magnet larry (talk) 08:18, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article for this Northern region in the state of Maharashtra already exists at Khandesh. This article was created by a persistent sockmaster. An administrative division covering the same general area is also named North Maharashtra, but this would mean a simple redirect from North Maharashtra to "Khandesh". I would say that some content be merged and finally redirect to Khandesh. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 (TALK) 20:18, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. @GreaterPonce665: I think you are not getting any responses here because the sources seem to support the article content. Is there anyway that you could demonstrate your line of thinking with some evidence or a refutation of this article's evidence? Not being a geography buff of this part of the world, it might helpful if you were to analyze what's wrong with the sources in this article and why the other naming system if preferable. Best.4meter4 (talk) 22:30, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4: Thanks for the comment. The issue is not that the sources are poor or that the topic is not notable. There's already an article about the topic, albeit with traditional name. The north-west region in Maharashtra state in India is traditionally known as Khandesh and there is already a pretty good article on the topic. In recent years, the state government has named regions by their location, i.e. they started designating Khandesh as North Maharashtra administrative region. This, however, means that "North Maharashtra" should be a simple redirect to "Khandesh" (or merge if people prefer that). Additionally, this article was created by an incompetent but persistent sock and thus should be removed per WP:BMB anyway. I hope this explains my reasoning behind listing this page. GreaterPonce665 (TALK) 22:40, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Do you have a source with both names in it together, proving they are the same? Or two sources with a map showing us? I do totally believe you, but it would be easier to comment having the evidence in front of me rather than having to try and confirm what you are saying by hunting around for sources. That way it's an easy clear cut call to redirect. Best.4meter4 (talk) 22:50, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @4meter4:, Here the first line of research article states that "The North Maharashtra region comprises three districts, namely Jalgaon, Dhule, and Nandurbar". In pre-independence British-era, these three districts were part of the Khandesh district; this page states that "[Khandesh district] included the present-day Jalgaon, Dhule and Nandurbar districts...". Additional info here. Hope this answers the question about those regions being one and the same. GreaterPonce665 (TALK) 14:29, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. For C1 considerations only: I calculated the Scopus citation metrics for Dr. Flagel and her 78 coauthors, as well as the most recent 45 of her top collaborator's coauthors, who had more than 10 papers. Total citations: average: 5810, median: 1537, Flagel: 3398. Total papers: avg: 98, med: 42, F: 52. h-index: avg: 28, med: 19, F: 25. Highest citation: avg: 527, med: 272, F: 557. Average citations per top 5 papers: avg: 295, med: 149, F: 300. She seems around average in her field, although if the "average professor test" is what she needs to beat then the 10 paper threshold is much too low and her stats would very likely be around the median or lower. JoelleJay (talk) 03:34, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with the "average professor test", but this also does not take into account time spent in science. Should we rather compare her to peers who are at a similar career stage, since many of her co-authors will simlpy have a longer track record. --hroest 17:52, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
hroest, that's why I looked at the 45 most recent coauthors of her top collaborator, rather than all of them or the 45 on his highest-cited papers. There are 70 professors among the collaborators, but 32 of them are associate or assistant, so longevity is less of a concern. My original stats also include plenty of PhD students, postdocs, senior research assistants, techs, and people who stopped publishing and went into industry. The stats if I look at just the 70 collaborators who are any kind of professor are:
Extended content

Total citations: avg: 8852, F: 3398. Total papers: avg: 148, F: 52. h-index: avg: 38, F: 25. Average citations per top 5 papers: 1st: avg: 732, F: 557. 2nd: avg: 440, F: 292. 3rd: 341, F: 228. 4th: avg: 288, F: 223. 5th: avg: 250, F: 202.
Looking at just the 38 who are full professors: TC: avg: 14081, F: 3398. TP: avg: 229, F: 52. HI: avg: 53, F: 25. 1st: avg: 983, F: 557. 2nd: avg: 600, F: 292. 3rd: avg: 479, F: 228. 4th: avg: 417, F: 223. 5th: avg: 359, F: 202.

Basically, I don't think the metrics are skewed too much by long track records. JoelleJay (talk) 20:46, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment in general I would agree with a WP:TOOSOON and she does not pass WP:NPROF#1 but after this recent discussion it is hard to argue why we should delete this article. She is an associate professor at a top tier institution with a good publication record and over 10 papers with 100+ citations in a high citation field. --hroest 17:52, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The more coathuors, the easier it is to prepare and publish a paper, and have co-authors cite each other's papers, as a group. Notability has an important criteria of contributions, scientific merits in this case, and so far I only see the arguments of citations and her use of grad students. Professors often have this amount of publication activities, that's what they are paid for, so allowing this not very informative profile (copied and pasted from the University's website) will invite millions of other profiles. If we want to avoid it, the page should be deleted; if we don't mind it, the page can stay Norm21 (talk) 20:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Norm21 I totally agree and that is the reason we have WP:NPROF and the analysis from JoelleJay basically confirms that she is an "average" professor so far without any really outstanding achievements that would be unexpected at her career stage. I agree with your two scenarios and according to current NPROF#1 she is not notable, however I am pointing to a recent discussion where a consensus was formed around much younger and less accomplished professor. I have not decided on how to vote yet, so far I am just collecting arguments pro and con. Unfortunately I dont know enough about her field to form an informed decision about her contribution and the only thing I have to go for is her citation count. --hroest 21:46, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete Trying to decide WP:NPROF on just citation numbers is always highly unsatisfactory, because we have no firm thresholds there. In this case the cites seem "okay" to me but there's nothing else whatsoever to contribute to notability (elected positions, awards, secondary coverage etc.) so I'm leaning towards Nay here. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:58, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Sources in the article do not have SIGCOV from IS RS addressing the subject directly and indepth, BEFORE showed nothing with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth, more database and directory style listings. The keep vote above does not list any sources to check, and the reasons listed are opinions not supported by guidelines. Fails GNG and ORGCRIT. If anyone can find sources with SIGCOV, post them and I'll be happy to check them and change my !vote if this can be shown to meet guidelines.

The result was no consensus to delete, after much-extended time for discussion. This cannot be further relisted, and there is no realistic possibility for a consensus for deletion to develop, nor is it implausible that sources will be found with which to improve the article. Closed without prejudice to the initiation of a separate merge proposal, with the caveat that the subject could be merged into the article on the event, and then split out again in the future if additional content is found on the subject.

The Ehden massacre is certainly notable, and much of this article is about that event, after the subject”s death, rather than about him. The role of the subject in the lead up to the massacre is his only claim of notability, and I think WP:BLP1E applies to that. Mccapra (talk) 07:46, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of an activist and political candidate, not reliably sourced as passing our inclusion standards. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they have not won -- the notability test for politicians is holding office, not running for it. But this is not properly demonstrating that he has preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him a Wikipedia article independently of his candidacy -- it's written like a résume, heavily overbolded, and referenced two-thirds to primary sources and YouTube videos that are not support for notability at all. And of the two sources that are actually real media, one is a very short blurb about him being appointed to a not-inherently notable position on a committee and the other is a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article that isn't about him, so neither of those sources are getting him over WP:GNG either.
The only reason I'm not speedying this is that it's a recent rewrite of a stub that's already been here for six years -- but just reverting the advertorialism doesn't fix the problem, because the old stub wasn't properly demonstrating or sourcing any actual notability either.

To be notable enough for a Wikipedia article, a person has to be the subject of a significant volume of reliable source coverage and analysis about his work. It's not enough to just offer one or two pieces of verification that he's had jobs — there have to be numerous sources analyzing why his work in those jobs can be seen as significant. There is no job that any person can hold that makes them so "inherently" notable that they're exempted from having to pass WP:GNG on their sourcing, and just showing two footnotes verifying that he's done stuff is not enough to get him over GNG.

Sourced only to the (archived) official website since 2006 until I added a non-WP:RS link to IMDb yesterday. A WP:BEFORE search for both of the English titles (Crab Goalkeeper and Kani Goalkeeper} and the Japanese title (かにゴールキーパー} turned up a remarkable number of listings sites, but nothing indepth about the film. The corresponding Japanese article ja:かにゴールキーパー did not help. The best I found was this (via Google Translate), which gives a more detailed version of the plot.

The song does not seem to meet WP:NSONG. The secondary sources in the article itself are either unreliable or don't mention the song itself, and are instead about the group's debut or the release of the debut album the song is a part of, so that content is more appropriate to those articles, which already exist. A WP:BEFORE resulted in the same type of results, either unreliable sources or a mention in passing of the song. Nangears (talk) 02:52, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep its the debut single of a fairly notable South Korean girl group. Just because it didn't chart, doesn't make it a non notable song and that a Wikipedia article should not exist. Rather than deleting the article, this should be placed under a category or a Wikipedia project to encourage editors to expand the article. The article is well sourced and all references added in the article have MENTIONED the song itself.TheHotwiki (talk) 09:07, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Per WP:NALBUM, a song does not inherit notability and I'm not disputing that Momoland or their debut album are notable enough for articles, but that doesn't mean the song is automatically notable by extension. The only one of the reliable secondary sources that even mentioned the song directly when I first nominated it was [1], which names it as the debut single of their debut album in discussion of their debut as a group on MCountdown but still not substantial coverage. Now, some of the sources you added mention the song, but [2] that you added is the only one that discusses the song in more detail in discussing the release of the dance version of the music video. The other sources are either primary sources, unreliable sources, don't mention the song directly, or like with [3] includes the video to the song but the article itself does not discuss it all.

  • Keep: The two billboard sources are significant enough to establish notability, which is all that matters. The comment regarding being a "pioneer" is irrelevant to a deletion and should be taken up on the talk page as part of the editing process. Macktheknifeau (talk) 13:44, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep Needs a lot of work, and is probably my Terrible BLP Image of the Day. I've come around about "articles that might be notable but need a ton of work"; a lot of stuff is worse than a redlink, in terms of ever actually getting improved. That said, I don't think this is worse than a redlink. Those sources might be difficult to draw up at first, and if they aren't, there's likely even more that is considering the era involved (trust me -- any newspaper coverage on Google from the 70s/80s is about 5% or so of what you can get in paywalled search sites). I think there's enough demonstrated here for people to be encouraged to rewrite it. Vaticidalprophet 17:08, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Most newspaper mentions are in wire service articles where he is quoted in his capacity at Rhino in 1989–90. I'd merge or redirect to Rhino Entertainment, personally. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 07:25, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect with no prejudice against recreation if someone can find adequate sourcing. With the sources that are in the article right now, I don't see notability as established – I can't see the online Billboard source, but the book one doesn't strike me as very significant coverage, and the NYT pieces go into the same direction; since this is a BLP, I believe that we need to take special care when it comes to sourcing standards, and unless the remaining Billboard source backs up all the content currently in the article, I don't think it's sufficiently verifiable to stay up.

  • Delete and redirect to Rhino Entertainment, with no prejudice against restoring to draft if additional sourcing can be found. Removing the unusable content from this article would leave nothing worth calling an article. This level of introduction of material should not be rewarded with any measure short of deletion.

  • Attempted a rescue: I have tried to fix its tone to be more professional, please take a look there. I do not know, however, whether it is really that notable, and I am neutral over that. --DePlume (talk) 21:02, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - content rescued and additional sources added. Article also reorganized and the lead was expanded. Two companies that he founded got sparing coverage, which just barely puts him over the top, and also argues against a single redirect. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 23:03, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - his direct connection to Rhino and the Variety story are the bare minimum for notability. Bearian (talk) 15:44, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The NYT source is a single passing mention and one the Billboard sources is a 404 error. Nothing here convinces me of notability and in my book this fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk   18:57, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Postal orders of Bangladesh (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Created by a sockpuppet of a banned user in violation of their ban. WP:G5 was declined on the grounds that "other editors have worked on this article". Said work has consisted of category maintenance, link disambiguation/removal, capitalization fixes, and the deletion of one "word to watch". (As vital as such gnoming is, I would call it "no substantial edits by others".) The article has never cited a source (the external link doesn't mention Bangladesh or Pakistan), and I haven't found a reliable source to support any of the content.

  • A quick bit of research convinces me that everything stated in this article is misleading, or has zero informational content, or is a just plain trivial application to postal orders of things that are true in general. Getting rid of this and starting again (if possible) seems to me to be the correct course of action. Uncle G (talk) 10:04, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: unfortunately very little has been written and available online of postal orders in general. Some offline specialist books are available but hard to find. Describing this as misleading seems disingenuous as everything does seem true but is unsourced at the moment even if created by a sockpuppet. ww2censor (talk) 10:42, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
