The result was keep. Consensus is that this is a notable topic, but needs a lot of work and possibly stubification. Sandstein 19:23, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Article written mostly by a single-purpose editor (User:Georgehaller) who explain on their talk page that they coined the term, and who authored almost all of the cited sources. The issue seems impossible to fix because the article is overly technical. It has seen no edits to content since 2016, when the main author was notified of their conflict of interest.

- Comment I took a glance at Google Scholars and it seems that it is used in many papers not written by George Haller. WP:DINC should apply here. I am not confident in this vote so I am marking it as a comment.
- Keep A Google search shows that the concept appears in many independent sources and practical applications. The COI isn't really a problem because the article doesn't read as promotional. It does read as having a pile of bricks fall on your head, but thats a feature of almost all of our maths articles. small jars

LCSs are, therefore, ideal tools for model validation and benchmarking
. The person who coined the term and cited his own writings about it isn't in a place to say things like that. Notability of a scientific concept can't be read off the results of a Google search. XOR'easter (talk) 23:18, 11 March 2023 (UTC)- Yes it can be, when it reveals dozens of reliable sources which either have their primary subject as the topic, or use it as the primary method in a modelling application. I have not linked any sources here only because of their abundance. I'll admit that the article has some tone problems, but they're mostly WP:NOTESSAY, not WP:POV issues. It repeatedly compares LCSs to classical invariant manifolds, but noticeably focusses on their technical differences and avoids stating that one is necessarily more useful than the other. small jars

23:44, 11 March 2023 (UTC)- If the mere existence of many sources using the words were sufficient reason to keep the article, then one wouldn't even have to run a Google search. The reference list is right there already. The problem here is that the current article text is so thoroughly COI-laden that there is a real question of whether even seemingly bland, flat statements can be trusted. If it's unencyclopedic in tone, organized in an unilluminating way, cited to sources that might or might not be the right ones because the author is including his own papers whenever possible... then there's a legitimate possibility that we're in a blow it up and start over situation. It's also possible that a term occurs in many reliable scientific publications but is better off being treated as an aspect of a larger topic, rather than being given its own article. An example that just sprang to mind is Kraus operator: Google Scholar finds about 2,900 results, versus about 1,100 for Lagrangian coherent structure, but it doesn't really make sense to give the concept of a Kraus operator its own article instead of explaining it within the article on POVMs or quantum operations, which is why Kraus operator is a redirect to a section of the latter. It's very possible that when all these factors are considered, the best course of action is to keep the article, but they are factors to consider. XOR'easter (talk) 14:54, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

- If kept our article would need a lot of work, but it is about a notable topic. The Google Scholar search linked above does indeed find many peer-reviewed papers written by others about the topic, and there are some books about it.[1][2] Phil Bridger (talk) 10:15, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

- Thanks for correcting me on the books, but I still believe that the topic is notable based on the papers found by Google Scholar. Would you be able suggest any article as a redirect target? Phil Bridger (talk) 21:15, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- Nothing seems quite the right fit, though it's been a while since I've poked around this corner of the encyclopedia. Fluid dynamics might be a little too broad for the purpose, but it could be a place to start looking (if it turns out that we can't save the page and need a redirect target).

- Keep A simple WP:BEFORE-style search on GScholar shows several reviews that could serve as secondary sources for the article. Reviews [3], [4], [5] are written by others, and one Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics article written by Haller[6]. There may be others; that is as far as I looked. Unless I am missing something subtle, the topic looks notable and seems to satisfy WP:GNG. In reading the article, there is a lot of good information that is reasonably neutral in tone. But I could believe that there may be some sections that are of undue weight, the intro has too much hype, and sources are indeed biased toward Haller. The article needs a neutral tone, other secondary sources, and possibly a due weight makeover, but I'm not convinced that the problems rise to the point that the article needs WP:TNT. In that essay, TNT is recommended in cases where the content and editing history are all near useless or are actively harmful. I am happy to reconsider if I am missing something big here. --

20:57, 12 March 2023 (UTC)- It would be a big job, but if the notability case is persuasive, one way forward would be to stub the article down and build it back. Writing a new introduction based on and pointing to sources written by others would put non-COI content first and foremost. Material from the current version could be brought forward as it's checked out. Just a thought. XOR'easter (talk) 00:17, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Maybe I am missing something too - but one paper (which is dedicated to the subject) alone from the article references shows highly cited by secondary sources - and therefore should meet notability: 689 documents have cited: Lagrangian coherent structures and mixing in two-dimensional turbulence And: WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP.

The result was delete. While on a pure nose count this could be "no consensus", the keep arguments do not generally address the claims of lack of sourcing, or just point to web searches rather than particular in-depth references. Given this, the "delete" arguments are substantially stronger and more policy-based. Seraphimblade Talk to me 09:00, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

- The keep club hasn't supplied sources or arguments based in policy and guidelines, so the only response is an offer of cheese for the whine.

- Delete. Ambassadors are certainly not automatically non-notable, as the nomination statement would seemingly have us believe. They can be notable, under GNG. The subject is also an academic and author, and notability might be achieved those ways too. But I didn't find GNG-worthy detailed independent sources about Bezanson, I didn't find published reviews of his two coauthored books, and I don't find the citation record pointed to above by Eastmain to be strong enough for WP:PROF#C1. That leaves his work as director of a Canadian government think tank and a university research center, but I don't think those are the types of major academic institutions described by WP:PROF#C6 and I didn't find GNG-worthy coverage of those roles either. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:45, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per David Eppstein. He fails GNG and NPROF, no book reviews in academia (JSTOR) and not a strong enough citation count to pass NPROF#1. --hroest 14:03, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: A retired very highly noted Development Scholar...ex-Head of IDS at Sussex (UK's leading development institute and one of the World's) and of Canada's International Development Research Centre. I think these could allow WP:PROF#C6 He has held a highest-level appointed administrative post at a major academic institution. (Msrasnw (talk) 14:32, 3 April 2023 (UTC))
- That is not the highest-level administrative post of the University of Sussex. JoelleJay (talk) 23:05, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Searches on Google books (Currie-Alder, B. (2015). Research for the Developing World: Public Funding from Australia, Canada, and the UK. United Kingdom: OUP Oxford.) confirm that he was the IDRC president, and therefore I agree with (Msrasnw CT55555(talk) 18:12, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Head of IDS is not the highest-level admin post at an academic institution, that would be the chancellor/VC of University of Sussex. The IDRC is also not a highly-regarded independent research center, it is a governmental research funding org that is a subdepartment of Global Affairs Canada. He does not meet any criteria for NPROF or GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 23:17, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Possible error: My understanding is that IDS is an independent research institute. "IDS has close links with the University, but is financially and constitutionally independent." (https://www.ids.ac.uk/about/governance/). Best wishes, (Msrasnw (talk) 12:00, 5 April 2023 (UTC))
- Keep per CT55555. Both of these academic books [7][8] devote a few pages each to Bezanson's time heading IDRC, so that with some of the other available sources is sufficient to meet WP:BASIC. The subject will probably never have a super long article, but that is not the bar for inclusion. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 04:19, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- I can't see the previews for those pages in the first source, are they covering him specifically or just covering events that occurred during his tenure? The second source is not independent as Currie-Alder is part of the IDRC. JoelleJay (talk) 05:23, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- It's about five pages, and I would say about half of that is about him and things he specifically did as IDRC head and the other half about the impact of those decisions. Currie-Adler didn't overlap with Bezanson at IDRC and the book is published by Oxford University Press, who surely would've been aware. So while, we should be slightly more careful, I don't think this disqualifies it from being a WP:RS because of WP:INDY reasons. This book [9] has 60 pages (pgs. 207-268) devoted to Bezanson's time as the IDRC head, and while I don't have full access, the previews do give several passages of things Bezanson himself did in that position. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 10:18, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Currie-Alder is definitely RS but also definitely not independent from IDRC, so cannot be used to establish notability of Bezanson. Its publication by OUP is irrelevant here. The third source is by the same authors as the first so doesn't count as a second piece of SIGCOV. I agree the Muirhead book(s) are SIGCOV, so I'll strike my !vote for now, but we still need another independent RS with SIGCOV to meet GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 16:40, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

- 2018–2020 Irish anti-immigration protests (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Previous to the creation of this article, it's creation was discussed on Talk:2022–2023 Irish anti-immigration protests#Scope. The creator of the article asked for feedback about the 2018 to 2020 period, and was informed by two other users (myself and another) that the period between 2018 to 2020 was not an interconnected phenomenon in the same way the protests in 2022 to 2023 were. Another user was more open to the idea, but felt the information should be kept strictly to the already existing 2022–2023 Irish anti-immigration protests article. I think the creator made this new article in good faith but went against consensus to do so, and made a number of other errors in the process.
The new article is a clone of 2022–2023 Irish anti-immigration protests and includes sentences copypasted from the original, but simply tweaked to say 2018. This is highly problematic for a number of reasons. Firstly, this means that the new article is a work of WP:Synthesis and WP:Original Research. While there were a few isolated incidents of anti-immigrant protests in Ireland in that period, none of the sources used in this new article indicates that they were interconnected, as the sources in 2022–2023 Irish anti-immigration protests do. Secondly, the new article is immediately rife with inaccurate information; the 2018 to 2020 protests were against "direct provision centres" for long-term refugees, rather than "temporary refugee shelters" for short-term refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine, so this in an immediate obvious error. The new article, cloning the old article, mentions the presence of far-right elements in these protests, but the source is from 2022 and the source is discussing the 2022 to 2023 period. This is another immediate obvious error/misattribution.
The new article is thus filled with many inaccuracies and muddles events that occurred in the 2018 to 2020 period with events that occurred in 2022 and 2023. This new article should have been much better researched and written if it was going to be written at all, which I don't think it should have been all things considered.
As the creator was already encouraged, I think the creator would be better served working on the background section of 2022–2023 Irish anti-immigration protests rather than creating a separate, new article. CeltBrowne (talk) 09:35, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Proposer's argument is quite muddled, and mischaracterises talk page contributions made by other editors. There was a series of anti-refugee protests in Ireland from 2018-20, and another ongoing series started in 2022. The debate, with four contributors, was over whether to move the 2022-23 article to include the first series of protests, or to start a new article to cover them. The new article was started soon after the proposer voiced opposition to including the subject matter in the 2022-23 article. Now they seem to be in support of inclusion.Stara Marusya (talk) 10:44, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- As I've clarified on the 2022-2023 talk page, I always opposed the creation of a new article, but if people were adamant about discussing 2018 to 2020, I said was open to that being included in the background section of 2022-2023. I've reread what I said in my original comment and I still think I was fairly clear about that.
- Regardless of what I said, two other editors also voiced their opinions. One said either make a new article or expand the original, and the second replied they preferred the idea of expanding the original.
- From two editors saying they opposed a new article, and a third being on the fence, I'm not sure how you still came to the concussion that a new article was where the consensus was going. CeltBrowne (talk) 11:20, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Per proposers last comment, I refer anyone interested to Talk:2022–2023_Irish_anti-immigration_protests#Scope. Proposer makes reasonable points about state of current new article, which was intended to be a collaboration and not a finished product. These problems can be fixed without much effort, but who wants to edit a page that's proposed for deletion? Stara Marusya (talk) 11:50, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. The nominator seems to be right that
none of the sources used in this new article indicates that [these protests] were interconnected
, which is the core of the issue. The article doesn't cite any sources that treat these events as a single phenomenon or a series of collected events, and I haven't been able to find any (by contrast, there are plenty describing ongoing protests in those terms: [10], [11], [12], for example). As such, there's no basis for an article on this topic. Stara Marusya seems to be right that some of the issues raised by the nominator are fixable, but that's really moot here as there's a deeper-rooted WP:OR/WP:N problem. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 15:09, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Core? Nominator was the only to raise interconnectedness in the discussion. The Journal article discusses connections between the earlier protests, and the connections between some of the later ones don't appear to always be as strong as implied. Also, why delete? Nominator seems to want to merge. Stara Marusya (talk) 20:47, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

This means articles, categories or templates should not be nominated in a routine fashion, nor because one feels too lazy to check for sources, or if the content is still being built or improved.

- Moonraker, If sources are "easy to find", can you provide these sources? A search through newspapers.com did not return anything providing WP:SIGCOV, just some minor mentions.

- Curbon7, the question comes down to what is significant coverage. The 35 articles you found at newspapers.com are a pretty large number for someone claimed to be non-notable. We would not expect a biography for someone living. WP:BIO calls for "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." No doubt you also found some coverage in Google books, as I did. If I had time, I could make a solidly referenced article here, but like other content-creators I am too busy to do it in a hurry, simply because an obsessive editor is determined to cull ambassadors. If this anti-ambassador campaign is allowed to continue, dozens, or more likely hundreds, of diplomatic articles will not develop into useful content, and the people who create them will be intimidated into not starting more.

- Moonraker, As you'll know as an experienced editor, passing mentions, such as [15] or [16], do not constitute significant coverage. None of the newspapers.com results even come close to being an edge-case; they are all passing.
No doubt you also found some coverage in Google books
; no I didn't actually, or at least nothing significant.I could make a solidly referenced article here, but like other content-creators I am too busy to do it in a hurry
; sourcing of modern Anglo-sphere political figures is really not that difficult. Curbon7 (talk) 03:21, 13 March 2023 (UTC)- Moonraker has been asked repeated times to demonstrate existence of sources. Despite this Moonraker has not produced a thing. LibStar (talk) 03:33, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Curbon7, I agree with that last point, at least so far as the English Wikipedia is concerned, but I doubt if you are saying that we should therefore treat "political figures" as less notable than others. And information on people who deal with international affairs is inherently more useful to this encyclopedia than that on people who deal with local or their own affairs. I agree that an ambassador can prove to be non-notable, but I do not agree with a presumption of it, and I am most unhappy about the level of the campaign against ambassador biographies which is now such a large part of the Afd jungle.

- Delete. Ambassadors are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage about their work — but there's none being shown here, and all I see above is an argument that GNG-worthy coverage exists being made by somebody who isn't making any effort whatsoever to actually show any of it. But WP:NEXIST only comes into play if notability-building sources are actually shown, not if the existence of such sources is merely asserted — so if you think that GNG-building coverage is out there, then put your money where your mouth is.

- Weak delete WP:NACTOR looks for significant roles in multiple films, and while the filmography is impressive, there's nothing that would support significant roles. For WP:GNG, the sourcing just isn't there. One source is basically a database dump page. Another is the definition of a passing mention - name dropped with a dozen more. The remaining sources are all fluff pieces with instagram images and videos, decent for sourcing background information but not actual in depth coverage. I suspect there are better sources out there but will need someone familiar with Punjabi sources and language to ferret out. Ravensfire (talk) 02:42, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Another "radio presenter resume" article - presenter has moved around various local and regional stations in the UK and now presents a single weekend show on a national radio station, which is not in and of itself notable. Citations are generally of the "this person exists" variety (e.g. his entry in a general register!) and/or passing mentions of the subject, and I can't find any more meaningful assertion of notability elsewhere. The only article about the subject is the Guardian piece, which is a review of a programme presented by him rather than about him per se. Capital Brighton (née Juice 107.2) is notable, Radio X is notable, this person is not. Flip Format (talk) 11:45, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - this is truly a no-brainer. Was a very well-known ranch from the early 1900s through the 1970s, with literally hundreds of mentions in articles during that time frame. It had a history of being partly owned by mobsters (see here and here) In the mid-70s there were several in-depth articles about a planned development on the farm: see this and this. During the 1970s the farm was involved in several legal matters involving illegal aliens, with plenty of coverage: like this, this, and this. Then there was the purchase for development (see this and this. Then there's the annexation by Glendale, Arizona (see here). Then while it is being developed, there was this, this, and this, not to mention hundreds of mentions. Later than that, it's difficult to find in-depth coverage, not because there isn't any but due to the fact that there are literally tens of thousands of mentions of them in the newspapers, although its sale in 2021 created some stir with this.Onel5969 TT me 01:49, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Heavy Water (talk) 04:57, 11 March 2023 (UTC)- It isn't gone yet, regulators have assumed control of the organization. So that means it is crystal to say that it is collapsing. Until it is completely withdrawn from the stock market, it still exists. Dariocister (talk) 05:00, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

All of this is made clear in the press releases issued by the FDIC and by the California state bank regulator.

- Delete This is a company/organization therefore GNG/NCORP guidelines apply. WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject.

I don't see how this could possibly meet WP:GEOLAND - finding basically no coverage, GNIS doesn't even know where exactly this is located, and the Ramsey source has only one or two short sentences about it.

- Weak delete. The only source I can find is https://collections.shsmo.org/manuscripts/columbia/C2366/crawford-county. Historical societies tend to be considered reliable, but it cites a 1944 Master's thesis, which is available here: https://mospace.umsystem.edu/xmlui/handle/10355/82581 Generally Master's thesis are considered not reliable sources, I think.
- The author was Zimmer, Gertrude Minnie. The only reference I can find to her is here https://www.cozeanfuneralhome.com/obituary/4962168. She was a librarian and a school teacher.
- I downloaded the thesis. It lists the former name once, in a list, with zero context or extra information.
- So we know almost nothing of this place, there is not significant coverage, but WP:GEOLAND has a lower bar, but it still has a bar and that bar is above what we have, in my opinion. CT55555(talk) 05:09, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. My own research into the subject doesn’t find any indication of WP:NOTABILITY per WP:GNG and WP:RS WP:SIGCOV that would establish notability. A notable subject would be expected to have demonstrable significant coverage by reliable independent secondary sources, which I did not find when I did my own search. The coverage that does exist doesn’t satisfy WP:SIGCOV sufficient to establish notability per WP:GNG guidelines. If criteria in the relevant policies were met, there would be a strong case to be made for keeping. However, I don’t see that here and therefore I conclude that the article should be deleted as the subject lacks demonstrable notability. Additionally, WP:GNG is also failed here due to a lack of significant (in depth, non trivial and non routine) coverage by qualifying sources. Deletion is the appropriate outcome, since the article subject fails WP:GNG notability criteria. One could entertain inclusion if there was any existing claim to WP:NOTABILITY under the appropriate guidelines, which just isn’t met here. Shawn Teller (he/her) (talk) 14:59, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

DeleteThis is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. In plain English, this means that references cannot rely *only* on information provided by the company - such as articles that rely entirely on quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews, website information, etc - even when slightly modified. What we have here are references that either talk about the movies (productions) where the company is mentioned in passing (fails CORPDEPTH), or that talk about or interview the execs (fails ORGIND), or ones that regurgitate announcements or PR (fails ORGIND) - all without the reference including any "Independent Content" by was of in-depth original opinion/analysis/fact checking/etc. Topic fails NCORP.

[p]oliticians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office
are presumed notable, and this person has quite simply held national office in her role as ambassador. She has also served as second vice-chair of the Organization of American States, meaning that she has held international office in addition to being an ambassador.

- Keep. Coverage by WP:RS sufficiently demonstrate notability satisfying WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Furthermore, a Canadian ambassador would be considered a notable subject per relevant guidelines (specifically, GNG), and the subject appears to have a notable career. While sourcing in the article may be weak, a drive-by AfD nomination is not an appropriate way to address it. What this ultimately comes down to is whether or not the subject has WP:NOTABILITY that would warrant inclusion as an article. Clearly, the subject is notable. Deletion could be considered if the subject didn’t have a claim to notability due to absence of coverage, however, WP:GNG is met by the subject and as such deletion is not the appropriate outcome for the article. If WP:GNG weren’t met by the totality of the subject and the subject’s career, the article could be considered a valid candidate for deletion. On the other hand, however, I find that the subject’s claim to notability is strong enough to pass the threshold for inclusion in the form of a standalone article, due to the appropriate GNG conditions being satisfied. The argument for deletion just isn’t very strong here in the face of the subject’s overall demonstrated WP:NOTABILITY, and the rationale for keeping is thus stronger on its merits.
