Been on the cat:nn list for 10+ years and never been updates. Low citation count, h-index. Fails WP:NPROF, WP:SIGCOV. Very slim claim to notability. scope_creep^Talk 23:49, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. EDIT: Keep. Is an h-index of 30 and 4000+ citations on Scopus low for this field? I could answer this question myself, but he has 740 coauthors and Scopus will only list 150 of them in an exportable format, so the only way to analyze his citation profile in comparison to his coauthors' is to go to each paper and look at each author, which is extremely time-consuming. HEP/cosmology stuff tends to get a lot of citations due to having tons of collaborators, so 30 may indeed by low for his field, although 7 of his top 10 papers, ranging from 102 to 533 citations, have fewer than 5 coauthors.

Comment. Where's the low citation count? GS has top papers 1039,563,545,431,355 (several with only short author lists), which is not my definition of low. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:49, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Because we work at the same university I should probably refrain from a formal opinion even though I don't think we've met or communicated. So I'll just add a couple of clarifications instead. His top-cited papers appear to have alphabetical coauthors so I don't think we can infer anything from author order. The article needs an update: according to his department profile he is full professor, not associate. And he appears to be the incoming chair of the faculty senate [1] but that doesn't count for much with respect to notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:56, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I never saw that profile on him either as a full professor. I think as a full professor at a major university, he is past the post. Nomination Withdrawn. scope_creep^Talk 05:14, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Diamond Club Ground

Does not meet WP:GNG, I'm unable to find any results in a general internet, Google Scholar, and Google Books search; searching for the title given on the Urdu page only returns Wikipedia pages and mirrors, which seems like a red flag. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 23:26, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are mentions in at least two sources: Dawn and Tribune. Although neither deal with the ground in depth they are clearly about the ground and the club that operates it rather than simply passing mentions. On the whole I would suggest a redirect to List of cricket grounds in Pakistan is a better option to deleting here - that way if we find sources we can work on the article with a preserved history and attribution. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:57, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of cricket grounds in Pakistan. It is definitely a first-class venue but it's unlikely that the article will be expanded in the near future so best to apply WP:ATD until someone can work on it. BoJó | talk UTC 09:04, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of children of prime ministers of the United Kingdom

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

I think this page should be deleted for many reasons. It is just an indiscriminate list of information, children (and grandchildren in particular!) of Prime Ministers hold no power, or official position as such, it reads like a who's who.

Most if not all of the living individuals are 'private individuals' who do not seek any particular fame.

Also, the article is almost entirely unsourced. JeffUK (talk) 22:55, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The sources consist of (a) an apparently broken link and (b) a vague link to the deprecated ThePeerage.com (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources#Self-published peerage websites). To the extent that a child of a prime minister is a notable person, they are sure to be mentioned in the article about their parent already. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:33, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete clear BLP concerns for named children who aren't notable. LibStar (talk) 03:00, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Is this worth keeping if we limit it to those who are notable, cf. List of children of clergy? (I'm undecided, as well as undecided whether that page should exist, but it's at least better.) 3mi1y (talk) 07:32, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The difference, on face value, is the Children of Clergy article requires not only that entrants are notable, but that they are notable in a large part BECAUSE they are children on clergy, I doubt many children of PMs would meet that test. As an aside, I don't think that many entries on the children of clergy list actually meet that test either, but that's a separate conversation. JeffUK (talk) 11:51, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Borgias, Cesare and Lucretia, are notorious (in part) for being the children of a pope, so there's some hope for that list. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:41, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and previous comments. This simply isn't encyclopaedic, and more than that, as mentioned it might well give undue prominence to people (especially those who are still under 18) who might well specifically want to avoid such coverage if at all possible (or indeed, if they are too young, their parents might). This belongs in a trivia book (if there) and has no bearing on practically anything that any of the prime ministers did. RobinCarmody (talk) 18:57, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I would agree with the comments raised by other editors. I also think if anyone wanted information as to whether Prime Ministers had had children and they had done anything notable they would look at that Prime Minister's article, not a list of them all.

Impler family

Keep or move. The Impler family is the source of the name of Implerstraße station about which we have an article and the actual Implerstraße, about which we don't yet. The state-run (and as yet very incomplete) Historisches Lexikon Bayerns has an article about the Munich Patrician families in general[2], which mentions in passing the Impler family as one of the patrician families. The article we have could reasonably be moved to "Hans Impler" as well. The Impler family and Hans Impler in particular get mentioned by sources on Bavarian history with sustained attention over several centuries.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Jahaza (talk) 06:16, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reply- I looked at these sources you have above, Jahaza, and it appears as though these are passing mentions of one person or another, with very little in depth coverage that would go toward an article for the family. I can actually agree with your point of moving this article to "Hans Impler." If you find more sources, please let me know. Thanks!

Repurpose as an article on Johann Impler, who appears to be of minor notability. the article appears to be an exact dictionary translation of one in the German WP, whose standards are reputed to be higher than those of the English WP. An entry in a Bavarian biographic should be enough to indicate notability. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:14, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and repurpose as an article on Johann Impler per Peterkingiron.4meter4 (talk) 23:50, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment "Johann Impler was a councilman and was tortured and beheaded by the rebels during the civil uprising in 1385, as they held him to be partly responsible for the high tax burden (Impler uprising)." appears in DeWiki and also Munchenwiki, is happily mirrored in the city history of Munich but there is no source for this information that I could find in German. Searching Bavaricon, the Bavarian archive, merely gets passing genealogical mentions of the existence of various Implers, including mention of a 1376 church provost Johann Impler. That fact of 1376 Johann's existence is in fact the only thing confirmed by the only source cited in DeWiki for the Impler family article. Munchenwiki's article about Implerstrasse and indeed Implerplatz repeats the information but its only reference is to booking website hotel-mix.de. So quite apart from the very real concerns regarding the notability of all Implers (the DeWiki article not passing WP:GNG standards), we also have totally unverified information on Johann Impler gently spawning across Germany. Even if it were verified, it'd still be very scant ground for notability. Do we really want to repurpose a GNG-failing article about a family to a completely unsourced assertion about an individual? Because I, for one, can only see the spectre of WP:CIRCULAR here... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:45, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It might be an ancient hoax/legend, but it's described in a number of German sources. It's not at all based on the hotel web site. Jahaza (talk) 22:51, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Final relist. And a question, how exactly does an AFD closer "repurpose" article under a deletion discussion? That sounds like an editing job. I also don't see how a repurpose overcomes the arguments for deletion.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:36, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only source cited is a dead link. Only two members of this family are listed here, one of whom is described as "Franz Impler, son of Hans Impler, a residential house owner in Munich and benefactor". If the most notable thing one can say about a person is that he owned a house, I'm just going to have to allude to the words of Shania Twain. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:40, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's the very source I quoted above - "That fact of 1376 Johann's existence is in fact the only thing confirmed by the only source cited in DeWiki for the Impler family article." I added some helpful bold this time around. The source has zero value, carries no suggestion that there may be more sources and I did take some care above to document the search for those sources and report accurately on the lack of them. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:01, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"The source has zero value, carries no suggestion that there may be more sources"

It literally has footnotes in it referring to the de:Monumenta Boica. That's not a suggestion that there are other sources, it's an explicit statement that there are. Jahaza (talk) 04:17, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Monumenta Boica is huge. It's also hard to tell quite what's going on in there as my Latin's pretty rusty. It's a reference to the possibility that there may be mentions of a family name in an enormous archive consisting of 54 volumes and 65 sub-volumes that would take a professional archivist weeks if not months to parse. Be my guest - it tells us a family name exists, not that it is in any way notable or, indeed, that anything that may be attributed to this source without some very precise pointers - is in any way verifiable within reason. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:56, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to complain about a source, fine. But don't write "no suggestion that there may be more sources" when the thing literally has citations to other sources. Why would you do that? Jahaza (talk) 05:16, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see that footnote and never did. I'm not complaining - I'm pointing out that the source is not reasonably verifiable and there is no claim of notability to be inferred from its existence. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 05:30, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is still my philosophy that 12-century historical families that are documented by one reliable source are notable. Should not judge on 12-century issue. Taung Tan (talk) 06:07, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Worldwide Day of Genital Autonomy

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

Article clearly does not meet the criteria of WP: GNG. The only references that I could find about the subject online were self-published and/or facebook sources. The only articles or published academic works I could find that mention it were brief, non-significant coverage on p. 304 of Contending with Antisemitism in a Rapidly Changing Political Climate and p. 458 of Judenbilder in der deutschen Beschneidungskontroverse. Other, self-published information about the subject is non-existent. Additionally appears to be a promotional and WP: Activism page. KlayCax (talk) 20:22, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: I agree with @ThadeusOfNazereth:. Since it is a stub article, I think it would be better to merge it with the main article Circumcision controversies as a sub-section. GenoV84 (talk) 20:35, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (Note: original vote was ~~keep~~, see here) I wonder why highly reputable sources like the German Deutschlandfunk, Deutsche Welle, Die Welt, and the Jüdische Allgemeine are not seen as reputable. The movement started in Germany and is already supported by organizations and intactivists in at least 20 countries worldwide after 10 years.^[1] Ulf Dunkel (talk) 07:03, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The criteria for notability isn't a "reliable source mentions it". But rather if the subject is independently notable in of itself. A source called "IntactWiki" and a 1000 follower Facebook page clearly does not meet that criteria. Wikipedia isn't a place for WP: Activism or a place to advertise movements. It's a place to chronicle notable subjects. KlayCax (talk) 19:17, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deutschlandfunk, Deutsche Welle, Die Welt all mention it in the context of passing mentions. These (and tabloid-like "see this man doing Y") clearly do not meet the criteria of notability. See:: Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton, that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band. Seeing as how the only notable information about it is "it occurs on X date" — and a brief other trivial pieces of information — it's clearly strong delete/merge.

There's no reason that this information needs to be artifically WP: Fork'ed into a one sentence article. KlayCax (talk) 19:26, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I took a look at KlayCax's many edits in the Circumcision article, which tend to be pro-circumcision of children (quoting the proven circumfetishist Brian Morris, belittling Brit Shalom, etc.). Also, the WWDOGA's correct description of being against circumcision without medical indication in children was reworded by KlayCax into a blanket "anti-circumcision" movement, which is factually incorrect. Therefore, I have the impression that the attempt to delete the small article about the WWDOGA is not about formal aspects of the article, but about reducing the worldwide intactivism and thus the protection of children's human rights in favor of the medically not indicated foreskin amputation in children. Maybe we have a WP:COI here. Ulf Dunkel (talk) 19:52, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, @Ulf Dunkel:. You're misunderstanding my position on a lot of this stuff.

I'm absolutely, resolutely not in favor of routine circumcision. (As a urologist: I wouldn't circumcise any future hypothetical son of mine and would personally recommend to parents not to.) Nor have my edits represented any sort of pro-circumcision bias. The reason a lot of these articles surrounding the topic were revised were due to widespread WP: NPOV problems that don't fit in line with the goals of Wikipedia. (Such as falsely asserting that individuals who are suffer from widespread sexual dysfunction; the Canadian Urologist Association goes into a lot of these debunked claims here, which I recommend you check out.) I personally agree with your assertation that circumcision has no significant prophylactic (assuming that safe sexual practices + other guidelines are followed) benefit in developed nations. However, there's no evidence that the procedure is harmful either in terms of long-term sexual pleasure of function, and no mainstream medical organization (and arguably scientist) who would hold to that view today. (See WP: Fringe) Circumcision can still be unethical: even with that fact being the case.

This isn't a place to get into a debate about it. However, I wanted to clarify my beliefs, since you brought it up as an aspect of concern.

As for your other statements: quoting the proven circumfetishist Brian Morris That's explicitly the opposite of what I've written about his usage in the article. I stated that links from him should only be used when surveying incidence and prevalence. As I wrote about him: Biologist and pro-routine circumcision activist whose metastudies conclusions have been widely disputed. (e.g. "The benefits to risk ratio exceeds 100 to 1" for starters) Possible NPOV issues in his conclusions and WP: Fringe. Many of his current citations within the article could be replaced with citations from major, reputable medical sources. belittling Brit Shalom It doesn't meet WP: GNG. It has nothing to do with "approving" or "disapproving" it. As one of the supporters behind it, Eli Ungar-Sargon stated, in 2011: "calling it a marginal phenomenon would be generous". The subject could easily be merged into Brit Milah. Wikipedia has a normative policy against unnecessary WP: Fork's.

Therefore, I have the impression that the attempt to delete the small article about the WWDOGA is not about formal aspects of the article, about reducing the worldwide intactivism and thus the protection of children's human rights in favor of the medically not indicated foreskin amputation in children If you're stating that the article is an WP: Activism page. That's exactly an argument about why it shouldn't be kept. As mentioned before, these claims are false. Wikipedia isn't a place to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. Promoting obscure events and then promoting them on Wikipedia because they might become hypothetically big or to use it as WP: Activism isn't how the process of article creation is supposed to work. I was in a band in high school. I really liked to be in it. It was somewhat popular on Youtube. However, it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Same thing applies to this. KlayCax (talk) 22:49, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For the record: I did try and remove the references to Morris in the article (outside of prevalence figures.) But it was reverted by @Alexbrn:; it was clear that a consensus would not have formed surrounding the matter. As an editor, I can't overrule consensus/other editors without a RfC. That's not how Wikipedia works.

Naming a worldwide human rights event which has already reached its 10th year of repetition as "obscure" shows that you're constantly trying to diminish the work of human rights activists, @KlayCaxx. You are of course allowed to stay behind any anonymity which makes it hard to figure out why you are biased here. But your edits on circumcision related WP articles speak for themselves. There are many other events listed on the WP which have their own articles but they don't seem to be more relevant than this event. This WWDOGA article on WP doesn't promote the event but simply describes it like many other event articles do, e.g. the World Kidney Day, listed in the Category:Health awareness days. There have been numerous attempts to diminish the human rights violation which is done to boys by forcing a medically not indicated "circumcision" aka foreskin amputation aka genital mutilation on them. I clearly see this request to delete this article as such an attempt. The IntactiWiki describes this Wikipedia bias on circumcision. Ulf Dunkel (talk) 08:06, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Which has already reached its 10th year of repetition as "obscure" The length of an event is irrelevant to the criteria of WP: GNG. If that was the case, a multitude of local events would meet the criteria. Naming a worldwide human rights event Again, Wikipedia articles aren't for WP: Activism or WP:SOAPBOX'ing. It's a place to chronicle notable subjects. You seem to be under the impression that one of the websites goals is to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS, which isn't the case. (Also see WP:TEND) You are of course allowed to stay behind any anonymity which makes it hard to figure out why you are biased here. But your edits on circumcision related WP articles speak for themselves. I'm unsure why you're personally attacking/falsely alleging things against me. But none of what you have claimed so far is accurate. (For just the Morris claim, see here.)shows that you're constantly trying to diminish the work of human rights activists. How does merging this article do any of this? All it stated at the time of AfD was the following. It's not like a merger would hide or delete any piece of information. The IntactiWiki describes this Wikipedia bias on circumcision What does this have to do with the AfD? KlayCax (talk) 09:17, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You initiated an AfD (deletion) and now you're talking about merging. I can agree to merging the article into another one. And I am so tired discussing the idea that human rights violations might just be opinions. Your statements about the pros and cons of circumcision are irrelevant insofar as the topic of the WWDOGA is about medically not indicated genital mutilation of children of all sexes and genders which is illegal as a matter of law, covered by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and no topic for further discussion. Furthermore, no medical organization worldwide recommends medically not indicated circumcision on minors. - But if you really have no pro-circumcision bias, I appreciate that and beg your pardon. Ulf Dunkel (talk) 12:00, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AGF. Holding an opinion on something isn't inherently a conflict-of-interest. It's entirely possible to be a focused editor and still evaluate sources reasonably, and Klay's analysis seems entirely reasonable, even if we disagree.

"When establishing the notability of cryptocurrencies and other blockchain-related projects, the consensus is that crypto-centric news organizations—such as Coindesk or Bitcoin Magazine—generally cannot be used, as they do not provide coverage that can be considered "independent" from their subject for the purposes of WP:ORGCRITE.

Comment Reviewed the article after clean up; Bloomberg is pay-walled, so I can't tell how useful it is. The other two sites I'm not familiar with, they seem ok? Oaktree b (talk) 19:29, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have access to Bloomberg and the piece is good - it's about 'Mark Cuban-Backed Firm Alethea' sure enough. That both the BB and Fast Company article are about 'Mark Cuban-Backed Firm Alethea' is a little company statementy, but the content is pretty routine - Alethea "has already had some commercial success, selling one intelligent NFT, or iNFT, for $478,000 via Sotheby’s in June." and "has closed a $16 million strategic private and restricted token sale where the lead purchasers were Metapurse". So these are funding/intent announcements of a very early stage company in a very speculative field. Fast Company cites exactly the same "One of these NFTs, called “Alice,” already sold for $478,000 on Sotheby’s Natively Digital market in June." and "Cuban, along with Metapurse, Crypto.com Capital, Multicoin, Dapper Labs, and others participated in a private sale of crypto tokens in Alethea that generated $16 million." So the two pieces have to be considered tantamount to company statements. Despite the existence of sources, I still have concerns about NCORP standards of notability - in particular WP:SERIESA. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:26, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found that if you remove the part of the Bloomberg link after the "?" then you can read the entire article. And it isn't good (for the purposes of establishing notability). The article has no "Independent Content" (as per ORGIND) in the form of original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. It reports that it sold one NFT via Sotheby's (and shows a tweet from Sotheby's), summarises their funding (nothing original there), and then a bunch of quotes from company execs and an upbeat view of NFTs in general. It also fails CORPDEPTH as there is no in-depth information on the company here, just summarising other news. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:14, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete 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. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and I have been unable to find any references that meet NCORP criteria. The Bloomberg piece summarises existing news and produces quotes from company execs, fails ORGIND and CORPDEPTH. The Korea IT Times is specifically about the work produced by Robert Alice in collaboration with the topic company and includes general information on how an iNFT can be made seem "intelligent" through the use of GPT-3. It has no in-depth information about the company which is what is required seeing as this topic is the company, not the artwork, fails both ORGIND and CORPDEPTH. The FastCompany article also relies on information provided by the company and the journalist describes how "Noah's Ark" site imbues an NFT with a "soul". It does not provide any in-depth nor significant "Independent Content" about the company, fails ORGIND and CORPDEPTH. Finally, the TechInAsia article is very like the Bloomberg article (and only 2 days apart) in that it mentions the Sotheby's sale, summarises the company funding includes a quote from the company exec. It also has no in-depth significant "Independent Content", fails CORPDEPTH and ORDING. Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:14, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - It's not enough to cite sources, we need to use those sources to explain to readers why this topic is encyclopedically significant. The point is not to prove that this project exists in the vaguest possible terms, our goal is to write a neutral encyclopedia article about it. Right now, the article merely regurgitates a bunch of pathetically generic cryptocurrency buzzwords. It is not clear what this company actually does, nor why anyone should care.

Theology of relational care

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

In 2013, this article was proposed for deletion and no consensus was reached. I'd like to re-open that discussion. Instead of simply deleting it, I think we ought to redirect this page to Practical theology, where there exists a comment on this particular topic. Although "relational care" in the general sense of "extending care through personal relationships" is an abstractly important idea, this article does not name a discrete concept or set of practices that is notable in itself. The phrase "theology of relational care" does not occur with any frequency in the popular or scholarly conversation. (A search for the phrase on the ATLA Religion Database, the most prominent database of scholarly literature on religion, returns zero results; and a search for the phrase on Google returns nothing but a few passing mentions.)

Further specifics: the ATLA Religion Database returns no hits for the full phrase; it returns three hits (with a few derivatives) for the broader phrase, "relational care." Of those three sources, one book and one article are plausibly concerned with a "theology of relational care," but have nothing clear to do with each another; the third is a book that doesn't deal with theology at all. Another book using the phrase pops up on Amazon that also doesn't deal with theology. The one place the full phrase appears in a non-trivial way is in a masters thesis, which is a decent source, but not enough to secure the clarity or notability of the concept. A Google search for the phrase turns up very nearly nothing—just some spam websites and a couple of trivial mentions.Brian (talk) 19:04, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Very little evidence of significance let alone notability. The few sources that can still be found are local and do not convey notability.

Keep, surprisingly. Since the strongest notability claims here (ECMAs, rotation on Much Music) are almost 20 years old, I ran a ProQuest search since 20-year-old sourcing wouldn't be expected to Google well, and found considerably more quality in-depth coverage of them than I was expecting for a band I've never personally heard of.

Keep passes GNG IMO with articles such as this, and and this.
I'm afraid the first link is an interview from his former employer (not typically viewed as independent of the subject) and the second is a just a single name-drop (the only thing the article says about him is that he played for Radomiak Radom in 1995 - that's it).

Delete - first, substantively, he's just not notable as a lawyer; see User:Bearian/Standards#Non-notability. He's been a licensed lawyer for less time than me. He's represented lots of notable (albeit not famous) people. I don't list all my notable clients, but if you wish, I'd be glad to drop some names, with clients' permission of course. Representing notable people or organizations, or suing notable businesses, does not make a lawyer automatically notable by extension. Secondly, I am strongly opposed to autobiographies on Wikipedia. In 2007, that could have been excused, but in 2022, it's untenable to try to sneak in a social media page masquerading as an encyclopedia article. To be blunt, it's theft of our services, and mis-use of a charity's resources. Thirdly, the combination of the two would be in violation of several rules of professional ethics. Tagging DGG.

A check of sources does not show indication of passing General Notability Guidelines or WP:NBIO and this subject seems to be more or less a run of the mill general populace.

Hi @Discographer. Sorry, I should be more clear. There's a route to potential notability via GNG/WP:BIO. I can't find the Billboard article, which is why I haven't cast a vote in either direction, but we have time to find it. Alternatively, I'm happy to move this to your draft space if you want to work on it.

Keep. It's true that the article was created in an inadequate form — basically "Lily Cheng is a city councillor who exists, the end" — by an occasional editor who's made less than 100 Wikipedia edits in the entire last six years combined, but it is entirely improvable. Toronto is a global city whose city councillors are considered to pass WP:NPOL #2 as long as there's some actual substance and proper reliable sourcing in the article, and sourcing does exist to upgrade it with.

Keep per KH-1. WP:BAND criterion #2 requires only that an artist have "had a single or album on any country's national music chart." Divine passes this test with flying colors; they had a #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, the main music chart in the U.S. And that single was certified platinum, too, which exceeds criterion #3: "Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country." --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:48, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Usually, albums that don't meet WP:NALBUM, such as this one, are WP:BLARed towards the article about the performer. Steel1943 (talk) 22:00, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

...And no, the claim that "Usually these albums do not chart or are as notable as pop music." is misleading as any pop music album article should be WP:BLARed or deleted if it has similar notability issues as this article. WP:NALBUM doesn't discriminate by genre. Steel1943 (talk) 00:12, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- Well, I'd give the article a chance. If it were that extreme, then all of this band's albums would have to be deleted because "they're not noteworthy or they don't chart." It's an underground Norwegian band, it has a small audience but it exists! This album is a sample of his work, obviously. --Apega71 (talk) 20:18, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  From my understanding though, the band's article would probably pass WP:NBAND since the band includes/included notable members who are notable for other ventures. Steel1943 (talk) 22:05, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Sahg per WP:NALBUM as a {{R from album}}. Nothing proven this far shows this subject to be notable. Wikipedia isn't the doom metal or Sahg Fandom/Wikia site: Notability requirements here are for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Steel1943 (talk) 22:00, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Sahg - per myself, Sam_Sailor and Onel5969 - all of whom have previously redirected the article as an alternative to deletion. Alternatively, given the quality of the Sahg article and its current clear failure of WP:GNG, I'd delete the lot. BTW, the concept that "the band includes/included notable members who are notable for other ventures" is specifically dealt with in guidelines - notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:16, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding Sahg, WP:NBAND point 6 seems to contradict the WP:NOTINHERITED claim, so I'd imagine there's room for debate there. Either way though, I do agree that it would be difficult to present a case to rationalize the existence of an article about a band with no notable songs or albums, regardless who is in the band. Steel1943 (talk) 07:06, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the band article would probably just about pass notability – they appear to have been mentioned in various Norwegian newspapers, although as they are all behind a paywall I can't tell if they are just passing mentions. And their albums have certainly been reviewed in at least one established European metal magazine: [11], [12], [13]. But that's another debate. As for this particular album, I'm holding off on a decision as it's been out less than a week and there is still time for reviews and other articles about it to be published. Richard3120 (talk) 15:08, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I totally agree with this great opinion. It is an album of a relatively remarkable band (at least in Norway) and all their albums appear in specialized metal music publications. I hold my position, article deserves the opportunity to be preserved. User: Chavitico (Talk) 17:56, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Excuse me User talk:Richard3120 for that opinion (and for purposes of debate and consensus) do you say that the article deserves to be left (kkeep)?--Apega71 (talk) 16:30, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Again, WP:NOTAVOTE. That, and I don't know how their opinion could be construed in any way other than a "neutral". Steel1943 (talk) 16:39, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, it's odd how two editors just made the same mistake with linking a user name. Steel1943 (talk) 16:41, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Apega71: categorically, no. See WP:NALBUM – "That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article." The fact that I think the band may pass WP:NBAND does not mean that this album is automatically notable, we need multiple reliable sources about the album itself. Richard3120 (talk) 20:02, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion this is quite an interesting debate and thank you for being a part of it. I stand by my position that both Sahg and this álbum Born Demon are of interest for the reasons stated above. Especially the band, it is notable for some members who have made headlines in Norway for their musical work. So it would be unfortunate to redirect (and thus disappear, as it seems to be) this new album. But it is the decision of the majority in the end.--Apega71 (talk) 18:22, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is unclear what "of interest" refers to. Sahg consists of members who are apparently notable for other works, so the existence of that article is debatable, but per WP:NALBUM, WP:GNG, etc., it seems quite clear that Born Demon existing as an article in an encyclopedia is not plausible due to not meeting the established notability guidelines. Also, if you intended to address or rebuke any of the "redirect to Sahg" comments above, you did not; all you did was state your point of view without enforcing reasons why your point of view is compatible with Wikipedia permitting Born Demon existing in its current state per Wikipedia's established guidelines. Steel1943 (talk) 18:31, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, see WP:NOTAVOTE; consensus is determined by the weight of the arguments, not a majority of the vote. Steel1943 (talk) 18:32, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What happens is that before the application of the rules of notability of an article in Wikipedia, there are not many arguments to debate. I would suggest the creator of this article include it as part of a section of the main Sahg band article.--Apega71 (talk) 19:40, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Sahg. Except for a one-paragraph, debatably SIGCOV review from Decibel, which is RS per WP:A/S, the rest is a combination of poor Wordpress blogs or non-SIGCOV routine announcements (including the band's own official non-SIGCOV, non-independent announcement). My WP:BEFORE search found no more refs plausibly contributing to notability. Therefore, this fails WP:GNG or WP:NALBUM and should be redirected. Many thanks! VickKiang (talk) 06:05, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for all the same reasons as in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthony Fok and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthony Fok (2nd nomination), which the nominator appears not to have addressed other than a WP:VAGUEWAVE at GNG. Ineligible for blocked-sock deletion because the block happened only two weeks ago and the article was created last March; that criterion only works for articles created by someone evading existing blocks at the time of article creation. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:23, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's a recommendation, not a hard and fast rule. Oaktree b (talk) 17:51, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you had read the 1st AfD you would have seen my comment there "Straits Times, CNBC, and BBC are all major media from different countries, and while the Straits Times coverage of him is not very deep, I think the CNBC and BBC sources have enough depth of coverage to count." I also don't see a requirement for three sources in GNG, and I don't understand where you think this is a requirement. It says "multiple sources". Two is multiple. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:12, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I was so accustomed to being usually required to have 3 sources that I considered it a strict rule. Apparently it isn't, but I don't see 2 here either:

Straits Times - just meantioned him as one of many members of The SDSC board.

CNBC - a few paragraphs, and almost half of that text is a direct quote. This is a WP:PRIMARY, like any interview, but we need a secondary source, right?

BBC Worklife - this is a side project like a blog about professions. Over the years a lot of people have been told there. I don't think they all deserve a personal Wiki page. Suitskvarts (talk) 22:43, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your opinions about BBC are irrelevant for whether it is in-depth, reliable, and independent. Your comment about whether people "deserve" an article suggests that you have a completely wrongheaded idea about how notability is achieved. We could measure notability by significance of accomplishments, and for a few subject-specific criteria like WP:NPOL we do, but WP:GNG-based notability is not about achievements, it is purely about the existence of in-depth independent sources. As for CNBC [14], it is a news story like any other. It is secondary, not primary, but GNG does not make that distinction; the thing you need to check instead is whether the author and publisher of the story are independent of Fok, and they are. It includes quotes by Fok that do not contribute to its depth of coverage of him, but it also includes multiple paragraphs of material including quotes by other people that are entirely about Fok. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:50, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On the Straits Times source, there are three in the current revision:
On SDSC. This was added only last night by me after I was inadvertently pinged by Suitskvarts. Definitely not GNG, but merely providing an update to his professional life.

[15], and [16] were present at the time of this AfD written. The first is about him and few other tutors setting up a trade association for private tutors, while the second is a defamation suit against another tutor. The in-depth coverage of him varied, but all in all are indepedent and either writing at length or just simply quoting him.

[17] wasn't really Straits Times as TNP was a separate paper before going wholly digital and being merged into Straits Times due to financial issues (see SPH Media). – robertsky (talk) 01:55, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per previously discussed, "well covered by various sources internationally". Nom does not present arguments different from Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Anthony_Fok, which was well-attended, except for the blocked-sock deletion. However, as mentioned by David Eppstein above, blocked-sock deletion isn't eligible in this case. Furthermore, more than half of the article had been rewritten/refactored by other editors after the tug-of-war draftification. Side note: personally, I feel that citing local newspaper articles alone for Singapore-related topics may not be sufficient as the same newspapers report on matters concerning all levels of society. However, I am comfortable if there are international newspapers writing articles about him or through him, his profession. – robertsky (talk) 02:06, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable purveyor of hate. AfD closed as "keep" in 2009 but I think our standards for determining notability have improved since then. Most keep votes were not policy-based. Sources present in the article are passing mentions, hardly the in-depth coverage we look for. Being noted as a purveyor of hate by ADL and SPLC is not sufficient grounds for notability. I found nothing on Newspapers.com and the Google News link found by Bearian is broken and I cannot find anything that it could be.

List of nicknames of European royalty and nobility

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

I am nominating all subpages of List of nicknames of European royalty and nobility -- i.e. the full list split over 20 different pages. I do not see evidence that the pages meet WP:LISTN -- I cannot find books or scholarship that discuss the development of nicknames in European royalty as a whole. Obviously individual nicknames are often notable, but I do not see discussion of this topic "as a group or set by independent reliable sources". This is currently an WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of information, badly sourced and nearly impossible to manage. It's unclear what the WP:LISTCRITERIA are: what nicknames are notable enough to make it? And given the timeframe and lack of full sourcing involved that will be an almost impossible standard to set: the level of sourcing available for each nickname will vary wildly by how much scholarship there is for each individual/how old they are.

The largest pages are generally less than 50% sourced (A: 346 footnotes for 800+ entries, C: 292/700+, E: 212/500+, F: 198/~400, H: 199/~550, J: 278/550+, L: 209/500+). The only other option is to do a huge cut of these pages down to only sourced nicknames, but frankly I don't think that's worth the effort. Any truly notable nicknames can be listed on the person's page, which is the first place the reader will go to find information about that person--not a barely viewed list page.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Nasty Vlădoiu by, err, Nasty Vlădoiu! Mr. Vlădoiu, would you like to explain to us which of the WP:PROF criteria you fulfill and why? Otherwise, you know, your nice little autobiography has to go, and what a shame that would be… - Biruitorul ^Talk 14:31, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nasty seems to be a busy fellow. Many articles where he offers his opinion on xyz subject, but I can't find any that deal with him/are about him as an individual. Oaktree b (talk) 15:46, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nasty shouldn't be writing articles about himself, that's OR/conflict of interest. We need neutral, third party sources to prove why he's notable. Oaktree b (talk) 15:48, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I'm not finding enough evidence to support a pass of the en-WP general notability WP:GNG or WP:NPROF guidelines. Also there is the WP:COI/WP:AUTOBIO matter. His H-index score is only 3, so he's not going to pass PROF on that. It is interesting to note that there is not an article in Romanian WP. To the creator: Nasty Vlădoiu, English Wikipedia (en-WP) strongly advises against creating an autobiography. Notability is established by what unconnected sources say about you. It is not enough to have written and published your own work, what is needed to pass our notability requirements is to have substantial coverage WP:SIGCOV in independent, reliable secondary or tertiary sources: in other words things that others have written about you or your work. If you want to write about yourself to present yourself to the world, it's better to use LinkedIn, a social networking site, to or start a personal website (or ask your university to make one for you) than to created an encyclopedia article about yourself. If substantial independent sources are found, or if the awards prove to be notable you may place that on the article talk page or here for consideration, however because of your conflict of interest, you should stop editing the article directly. Netherzone (talk) 17:01, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see from the report, the Institute is very aware of the importance of Wikipedia and how it can be manipulated by extremists and state actors. I implore other editors to please review the text currently on the ISD entry, correct it, or add to it as appropriate (even including documented controversies or criticism if you can find it). I am not doing this on instruction of the Institute, but as a longtime Wikipedia user who feels that the organisation is notable and worthy of inclusion.

Comment. A sensible alternative to deletion might be a redirect to a stub on This is Dementia. In addition to the Newsweek piece, there is a similar piece in Marketwatch [18]. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:23, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Russ Woodroofe: I've considered that but there are two issues with doing that. First, those sources are extremely un-critical to the extent that they are potentially unreliable. Marketwatch calls him a clinical psychologist when as Jahaza has demonstrated that they cannot call themselves that. If they didn't manage to check such a basic fact, it isn't very encouraging. Newsweek is better, but is still mainly just an unquestioning interview. Second, even if we did create an article on the documentary, it would be extremely short, as there would be no MEDRS-compliant information that could be included. SmartSE (talk) 18:03, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Smartse, I agree it's marginal for WP:NBOOK, and that any stub would need to be quite short. I unfortunately did not find any other reviews/similar. As far as the narrow issue of the Marketwatch piece and the psychologist title: it appears that he lost his psychologist license at the end of 2020 (after a probationary period starting in late 2018); the interview was in early 2019. So I don't think this is a red flag; I don't see any other red flags apart from the piece being mainly an interview. I believe Marketwatch to be generally reliable, although it is not discussed by WP:RSP. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 19:22, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Russ Woodroofe: Ahh I thought you were talking about the documentary rather than the book. As far as I can see neither of those sources make any reference to the book. It is self-published and when I searched for reviews I couldn't find any. SmartSE (talk) 19:45, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      - Doh! I did mean the documentary, and shouldn't have referred to NBOOK. The WP:NFILM is fairly similar to NBOOK (though with some important differences, such as the emphasis on national film critics). It is not clear that NFILM is quite the right standard for a Netflix documentary (which I think also bears some features of television), but WP:NTV is only an essay. However: we have in any case only two marginal-to-very-marginal sources, and I am now convinced that it is not enough for an article on the documentary. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:16, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. While I see some progress towards notability, I think it is WP:TOOSOON at best. The sources in the article at the time of AfD nomination were mostly refbombing. The BLP issues regarding the loss of license are not a reason to delete, but are certainly not a reason to keep. The case for an article on the documentary is a little stronger, but this still appears to fall short. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:24, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Being a relative of British royalty doesn't make one automatically notable.

"have major coverage in the media". This needs to be demonstrated - the article certainly does not do so. Also, note that trivial coverage like two-three sentences that "Noble/royal ex. had a child or got married or divorced", which I expect we could find a few if we dug through newspaper archives, are trivial and don't meet WP:SIGCOV.

Delete. Articles consisting only of family history fail WP:NOTGENEALOGY. Consequently, newspaper coverage about genealogical topics is immaterial to notability. The only content that is not genealogical, the succession issues, is unsourced. Members of a royal family are not automatically notable, see WP:MONARCH. Sandstein 10:49, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Maybe TOOSOON? 41st in line to the crown isn't notable, maybe when his father dies and he assumes the full title he'd be better for GNG. Anything this far down the peerage is essential just another rich Joe with a fancy title. I mean he has to pass GNG, but I don't see anything he's done that another same/similar person does, marries, attends Mass, rather routine stuff. He hasn't invented cold fusion or something ground-breaking. Appears to have been chancellor of a university circa 2017, not sure how that colours the discussion.

Weak keep I agree with the nominator that this gentlemen isn't automatically notable because of his royal relations.

Delete There is insufficient information about this subject in reliable sources to write a balanced article. There is also no presumed notability based on family or title. The title is actually curtesy, the subbstantial title belongs to his father. It would be better as a redirect to the royal family article. TFD (talk) 19:21, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I agree with those above that simply being related to/a member of the royal family is not alone enough for notability. But I do think 'next in line to be Duke of Kent' is more than just being in the royal family, and there are a range of other roles here which strongly indicate notability. Being the chancellor of a university, for instance, is far from inconsequential, even if it is mostly ceremonial. Josh Milburn (talk) 11:30, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update: for clarity I am the originator of this article; I'm not sure if my voice counts in this discussion. I have added a lot of sources since the article was nominated for deletion. I am kind of scared that something I worked so hard on to the best of my ability might be deleted for reasons I don't fully understand. I have reached out to Arthistorian1977 asking for more specific feedback on improvements but I have heard nothing back. Jno.skinner (talk) 05:05, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A crisis of faith seems to be an encyclopedic topic to me, as much has been written about the exact idea of a "crisis of faith" or "faith crisis". The content is not covered by Spiritual Crisis, which states the event is caused by a spiritual experience, as opposed to a "crisis of faith", which seems to be associated with direct life experiences or new information gained in contradiction to deeply held beliefs or communally held beliefs, for example, Holocaust Theology. It doesn't seem that no page should exist to discuss this topic, but I agree it would benefit from some edits. Any suggestions on edits, additions, deletions, or else to improve the quality? There's a wealth of books to select from to bulk up, modify, or support claims. Lizard Commissioner (talk) 22:02, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the newspapers.com links posted above and all of them mention Wymola in the context of the Southern Pacific Railroad, the one that doesn't necessarily give the SPRR context but doesn't give the impression that Wymola is a settlement of any kind, and the April 16, 1928 article linked above with the dateline of Wymola even refers to it as "this little flag station".

As I am the author of the article please guide me to improve it to prevent deletion. I do not agree that it is a non-notable fund especially compared to many many other small funds that have a wikipedia page. The founder Willem Middelkoop is an important international thought leader on all matters financial. He has an extensive Dutch wikipedia page since he is very well known in the Netherlands. He has written many books on finance and has coined the term "super inflation" in an English interview. In the light of the current inflation I am working on a number of Wikipedia pages that relate the this predicament. I am a senior copywriter but relatively new to Wikipedia. I am trying to learn as fast as I can what will do on wikipedia and what wont. I was working on a Willem Middelkoop (who currently is traveling the world giving speeches and participating in panel discussions) page in english but that one got rejected right away due to a lack of external sources. So I decided to make a Commodity Discovery Fund first quoting only from external sources. You say it's too promotional. So please go ahead and take out what you find unfitting. But deletion? I don't think that's appropriate. Look at this page for instance: Powering Australian Renewables Fund . If that fund has a wikipedia page then Commodity Discovery Fund should really have one. Especially I am sure that Middelkoop merits an english page (compare https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_Middelkoop). So please help me out how I can work on various inflation related matters and stay within wikipedia's guidelines. It is my ambition to become a valued member of the tribe. Hajosmit (talk) 17:38, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I just added a paragraph about the not so good results of the fund. This is important additional information since the growth of the fund until now has mostly been inflow of new capital rather that gains on the investments. The fund and it's owner founder represent an important economic monetary debate that's raging in these years of rabid money printing and recently high inflation. I really want to make the article sound and good for Wikipedia before further building Willem Middelkoops lemma in english. See this english interview with more than 1 million views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-8FYpusTYg Hajosmit (talk) 20:32, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I see a lot of gesturing but do not see evidence of WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS. I also see the common Dutch country name confusion, this time topped by confusion around the University of Queensland. Kudos to the nominator for a fine nomination. With AfDs, when we decrease the quantity, the quality increases! gidonb (talk) 14:31, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your comment. I understand how you come to interpret my arguments as "gesturing"... and I'm reading these policies for the first time and see how you come to your mistrust. I was hoping for discussion and now I have it. I want to learn. In your opinion are mining websites like https://www.miningstockeducation.com/ and https://www.kitco.com reliable sources concerning the mining world? I would say yes. You? Also could you tell me how this fund for example is notable: Powering Australian Renewables Fund. As a Dutch native I have no idea what you mean by "Dutch country name confusion". I can't have made any mistakes here. And I mention the University of Brisbane. Not Queensland. Felt it was appropriate to suggest someone makes a page. Is that not OK? Please inform me .... Hajosmit (talk) 07:53, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's OK. Folks who live in the Netherlands are often confused about the Netherlands. Can you please link to the homepage of your "University of Brisbane"? The links you provide look nothing like WP:RS that would support notability. Data references: sure. But, to keep, the basic notability of a topic must be established. Powering Australian Renewables Fund doesn't look notable either. Per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, we do not copy mistakes from one article (in this case the mistake is the article's very existence) to another! Rather, we aim to correct all mistakes. The correction would be deleting both. And fair disclosure: do you get paid by Willem Middelkoop or an affiliated company or are you invested in this fund? gidonb (talk) 23:06, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your informative reply. Funny the compilation at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. My exact goal is to get to know the Wikipedia community and it's rules and guidelines. I know Middelkoop personally and have done some paid copywriting for his firm, like make a brochure, write a blog etc.. I proposed to work on his Dutch Wikipedia page and there I have made many improvements that have been retained. The work in English I do pro bono also to learn. I might offer sponsored Wikipedia editing service in the future, which as far as I have seen is allowed. Question: someone has marked my page as a "stub" and added Category:Dutch company stubs. I have checked this category page and was surprised to find tons of non notable companies including many restaurants. As an example I wonder I you feel if this is a notable company: FD Mediagroep. Not as in "otherstuffexists" but just to learn. You must be able to tell me how I could alter the CD Fund page to make it acceptable. Lastly: I still don't understand what "Netherlands" stuff I made confusing or what's up with the University of Brisbane link (to non existent page). Waiting for your answers. Hajosmit (talk) 07:28, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you put a link here to the homepage of your "University of Brisbane", I can understand what you meant. Just copy and paste the URL! FD Mediagroep is individually notable but best merged into its parent that we do not yet carry. I have actually done a lot of work on media companies, for example here and here. This is where I would like to go with company articles in general. gidonb (talk) 09:42, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no "my" University of Brisbane. I just thought a University should always have a Wikipedia page and so I might as well opt for the red colored link to non existing page. Is that not done? Please inform me. Or just change it on the page to what it should be. I already have the citation of the study so a separate external link to the university makes no sense.

Then I still don't now what you meant by Dutch/Netherlands confusion since I don't see any.

Your Lannoo and DPG Media pages are impressive to say the least. Both certainly merit a Wikipedia page. I agree that Wikipedia shouldn't become a company listing where companies can post stubs with promo blabla. But if a company is relevant to historic developments like commodities, inflation, war, energy transition etc then it does merit a page. Certainly one could argue "OK let's wait 20 years and decide then". I don't know how current Wikipedia tries to be..... I thought yes. Hajosmit (talk) 10:21, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you but I still do not know what you meant by the "University of Brisbane". Is it the University of Queensland or the "Holistic University of Brisbane"? To your question, we already carry articles for all or virtually all accredited universities worldwide. We have some articles also for nonaccredited "universities" but try not to be complete in this field. Also here I did some work, for example. If you do not find an article on an organization that calls itself university this is because it is not a real university OR because you are confused about the name of a real university, in addition to the country name confusion. gidonb (talk) 03:26, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatives I do not agree that the news sources from the mining sector fail WP:NCORP. Just one question. If you look at the long standing Dutch page https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_Middelkoop do you feel that Willem Middelkoop personally merits a page on the English Wikipedia? I could rework the company page to a personal page if you insist, yet I still believe that both merit pages, both company and the founder. I mean Wikipedia is not just for names everyone knows like Goldman Sachs or Warren Buffet. Put yourself in the shoes of an English native who sees an interview with CD Fund / Willem Middelkoop and searches it or him to know a little more. Final practical question: is there a visual editor to add new items on the discussion page? This one I did in the code editor. Hajosmit (talk) 10:23, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that Nlwiki allows for this WP:COI WP:OR WP:BLP to exist in its current state is a disgrace. It's not a coincidence as Nlwiki is known for bad quality. This is further explained, for example, under the headers quality and culture at Dutch Wikipedia. gidonb (talk) 13:01, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I learned some more.... I'm reading all these guidelines.... very helpful thank you. Concerning COI: I'm an academic with an academic interest in matters. As you see in the paragraph Mixed Results I have no interest to make the page promotional. I am aiming at a factual sourced description of the fund. I am waiting for suggestions to make alterations. Lastly: could you elaborate a bit abut how Nlwiki could have such different standards? At WP:COI by the way I see that paid editing is allowed but should be revealed. I will start studying Articles for Creation (AfC) as well. I was not aware that exists. For the funds page I'm waiting for constructive suggestions to redact... Hajosmit (talk) 17:43, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Even so, you had to tell upfront that Middelkoop pays you. I figured out that you are a paid contributor when I checked if your user belongs to Middelkoop. Nlwiki has too many articles on too few editors and admins. A lot of what is written in Nlwiki is complete nonsense. Compare it, for example, with the English, German, and Hebrew wikipedias that are much better. It's not the entire problem but only for this reason, already, they cannot but miserably fail. The rest makes the situation even worse. gidonb (talk) 21:28, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Middelkoop doesn't pay me for anything I do on Wikipedia. This I consider a hobby and a learning project. I'm already learning a lot thanks to people like you. I just said that because in principle paid editing is allowed that in the future once I'm fully aware of all Wikipedia guidelines I would consider doing some paid editing on subjects not related to donors. But if you say that just because in the past Middelkoop has paid me for a few copywriting matters, I need to indicate that, I'm happy to do so. Still: even though Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS actually other stuff does exist also on the English Wikipedia. Check: BlackRock World Mining Trust. So if we would scale back Commodity Discovery Fund to such a short simple lemma would you be OK with it? Or are you going to nominate BlackRock World Mining Trust for deletion as well? I'm still wating for suggestions for alternatives. Hajosmit (talk) 08:10, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this article should be deleted period. No merge, rewrite, redirect, or anything else. gidonb (talk) 10:49, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And how does it work with consensus in Youtube? How is it arrived at? How many editors should look at each case? PS I still don't agree especially when I see BlackRock World Mining Trust. You say that the English Wikipedia is very strict .. well then ... Hajosmit (talk) 13:09, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What I find even more bizarre is that BlackRock World Mining Trust is NOT marked for deletion, but as a STUB. I find that great in principle, but I would suspect that the lemma needs to be set-up such that the notability is proven first, then expanded. Commodity Discovery Fund is much more notable than the former since it actively engages in societal debate about the monetary system, commodities, inflation etc.. Hajosmit (talk) 07:19, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It sure has been answered before. It's WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and as such does not belong here. gidonb (talk) 18:27, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatives I just realized that from the mining world there are some lemma's that would definitively merit a page and that I could work on in the coming weeks. Like the Lassonde Curve as introduced by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Lassonde (could also make a paragraph in his lemma), of which there are plenty independent sources. Then there is the Uganda Gold Announcement which has been extrensively covered by tons of media: https://www.reuters.com/article/uganda-gold-idUSKBN2NP17M . Could merit its own page or a paragraph on the Uganda page. I hope you would support me staring on these pages. And... Carthago delenda est ehhhh I remain on he position that some form of Commodity Discovery Fund page merits retention. Hajosmit (talk) 18:44, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. It looks like the sources in the article are enough to meet WP:ENT. There several hits in Spanish language publications, most of which look like reviews. Searching for "shoji kojima" is a bit more productive than "Shōji Kojima." There's also a paywalled review in the English language Japan Times from 2018 that I can't read. It looks like he's an awardee of a number of cultural medals as well, like the Cultural Medal of Honor and perhaps (according to the Japanese version of the article) the Order of the Rising Sun. I doubt that any of these awards make the recipient preemptively notable, but it suggests that he has reached the lifetime achievement stage of his career, which does show some sustained notoriety.

Keep. I've added a few sources. There is a problem of locating sources simultaenously accessible and in languages people on this page read. However, several sources refer to Kojima as "celebrated", a key figure in Japanese flamenco and flamenco worldwide etc etc. There is a whole book about him as well as chapters on his work. He has a lot of awards, and even gets special mention by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as a significant figure in the arts. So I think he's clearly notable - we don't need to worry about that. We just have to improve on our own job at locating more sources. One thing we need to do is clear up the main biography a bit more, as it had been taken verbatim from his English language profile. I've made a start on that. The problem is that some secondary source profiles appear to have used it fairly directly as well.OsFish (talk) 08:23, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Growler, Arizona

AfDs for this article:

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

OK, this has come up again in my review because now the "location" is in a different county, but actually the problem is still these are two different locations being conflated into one. Look, the rail location Growler is over sixty miles from the mining site, and it has no indication that it was ever anything more than a passing siding; it's not a relocation of the supposed mining town. It should be deleted, and the Growler Mine Area article needs to stop being a redirect and have all the NHRP-derived stuff copied back into it. The Growler Mountains are a big enough area that multiple things got named "Growler". If people feel that "Growler, Arizona" needs to redirect to the NHRP article, ~~or that there needs to be a new town article geographically distinct from the mine~~, well, I'm not keen on either of these but I won't complain too much. The current situation, though, is just ridiculous. Mangoe (talk) 03:31, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Growler Mine Area. I agree this is confusing. I voted delete at the last AFD because when nominated, this article was a sub-stub about a NN rail siding listed as a populated place in GNIS. Then it was pointed out that there was a notable mine and Growler Mine Area was created. Somehow, most of the info about the mine was added to this article and the mine title was turned into a redirect here. Most of this article (about the mine) should be moved back into Growler Mine Area and then this deleted as this is not populated place that should have a stand alone article. The current article is misleading to say there is a "new Growler" that is a populated place. MB 21:50, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per MB and delete everything about the railroad siding. To be perfectly clear: The siding is not notable, it should not be covered within the NRHP article and it should not have its own standalone article. –dlthewave ☎ 03:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of Farm to Market Roads in Texas (1–99)

Weak keep. WP:GEOROAD indicates that state highways are typically notable for their own article (which would include all these roads), however I do not believe that this necessarily extends to second-class state highways (which is what these are). So we wind up with these lists that attempt to strike a balance. I do not think that anyone would doubt the notability of the system Farm-to-market road as a whole so I think a list of some form is valid. Some might say that this should all just be merged into one giant table and that should be the end of it. While I would find that acceptable, I think we should keep the lists and be more strict about merging in articles such as Farm to Market Road 344, where it is not clear to me why they were left out of the merge process several years ago (when we really did have hundreds of these articles and systematically merged them away). --Rs chen 7754 03:16, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep— this is a discriminate set of lists. The word "indiscriminate" means "done at random or without careful judgement", and in this seat of lists is not random. If it were, there would be entries missing. WP:LISTCRIT also states: "While notability is often a criterion for inclusion in overview lists of a broad subject, it may be too stringent for narrower lists; one of the functions of many lists on Wikipedia is providing an avenue for the retention of encyclopedic information that does not warrant separate articles, so common sense is required in establishing criteria for a list." This information is encyclopedic for fleshing out the context of the state highway systems in Texas, and the subject of these lists is narrowly construed as just the farm-to-market roads in that state. Imzadi 1979 → 07:38, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is not random, but it was done without careful judgement, including everything as a mirror of the Texas Department of Transport website. BilledMammal (talk) 22:30, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The lists are intended to cover farm-to-market roads (a meaningful subject) in a more compact and clean way than the myriad low-quality articles that formerly proliferated across Wikipedia. I'd also like to add that even the nominator's rationale for deletion (that the lists are indiscriminate) is at most grounds for trimming the lists of "unnecessary" sections/routes to make it a discriminate selection, not deleting the pages en masse. -happy 5214 08:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per WP:GEOROAD, state highways are notable. However, farm to market roads are secondary state highways and are better suited to coverage in a list. This is a discriminate set of lists and is therefore fine to have. Dough4872 10:41, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Transportation and Lists. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:14, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per WP:NLIST: One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been. The Farm to Market system is notable in that the group of roadways is the subject of coverage in reliable sources, e.g. [26], [27], and [28]. Thus, while some of these individual routes may not have sufficient coverage to warrant standalone articles, consolidating them into lists is justified. Furthermore, these list articles are not indiscriminate, in that the number of such routes is a finite number that is determined by the Texas Department of Transportation, and thus the inclusion criteria are clear. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:04, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If there were only a few hundred roads, I'd say keep, but there are so many entries here, and almost every single one is a mirror of entries like [29], violating WP:NOTDATABASE. I at least appreciate that they have been compacted into a few articles rather than splayed across thousands, and regardless of the result of this AfD, the blatantly non-notable standalone articles should be redirected to their respective lists.
