t — Preceding unsigned comment added by A Higher Authority (talk • contribs) 00:23, 10 March 2020 (UTC) Staminier is an acquisitive corporation, involved in business and the stockmarket - only two of the sources used are from the company, one of which being "areas of expertise". The links to Gatwick development has seen coverage by indepednednt non routine sources (eg air 101 etc) and its deal with Berkshire Hathaway shares make it a noteworthy situation, particularly in the light of the Heathrow issues and the expansion of Gatwick. signed, A Higher Authority talk —Preceding undated comment added 00:42, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- A Higher Authority: Press releases by the company that are reprinted elsewhere are not independent sources. See WP:PRSOURCE. --MarioGom (talk) 00:50, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- MarioGom: your right, but they add to the independent sources that there are, to show that its noteworthy. --A Higher Authority (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:59, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- A Higher Authority Which independent sources? I cannot see them. --MarioGom (talk) 07:25, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. And draftify immediately. This article was submitted as a draft by A Higher Authority and rejected multiple times. Then User:NaughtyNuggles moved the draft to the main namespace. --MarioGom (talk) 07:52, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
Actually this version of the article was never rejected, it is very different to the one that got rejected. With the previous two rejections, points were taken on board and the the article has changed significantly. There was only a 1/4 the number of references and the layout was totally different. --A Higher Authority (talk) 10:42, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter. After the initial rejections you just decided to bypass the process instead of submitting for review again. --MarioGom (talk) 11:09, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
I did submit for review again. only this time instead of taking a single day to respond (like the previous 3 times), i hadn't had a response after weeks (possibly because the changes I made were credible?), even after going to both admins talk pages. In regard to some of the sources used; ie the press releases published by bloomberg, yahoo, businesswire ect, each one is approved (“FSMA”) by London Court Limited who are totally independent. Which means all the information in the article has been verified. Your point is valid, I get where you're coming from, my point is that since the information has been verified by an independent source we can take use this information on top of the independent sources to show it is noteworthy (eg the air101 article ect). Especially considering how large the projects are. --A Higher Authority (talk) 11:55, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Press releases are by definition not independent. For more elaboration, see the second subsection of WP:ORGIND. signed, Rosguill talk 17:18, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Lacks notability in reliable sources. Gaming Nexus and God is a Geek are listed as unreliable in WP:VG/S. Only Digitally Downloaded review seems like a reliable source, not enough to pass WP:GNG. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:23, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

- Merge to Ogre (game)#Video games section that is currently empty and should cover both this and Ogre (video game) as two of the video game adaptations. Besides the Digitally Downloaded review mentioned, I found a WP:PRIMARY interview on Pocket Gamer [1], an article on Rock Paper Shotgun that is weak coverage wise and doesn't go indepth about the game itself despite the text size [2] (plus only written by a contributor), and some development bits on GamesRadar+ [3] with WP:ROUTINE Kickstarter/release announcements. All in all, it doesn't pass WP:GNG. Per WP:ATD, a section that covers this and the 1986 game (no opinion on whether that too should be merged for now), is enough to WP:PRESERVE details of what seems to be a low buzz release. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 12:12, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

- Merge to Ogre (board game) per Jovanmilic97. The 2017 video game has some scant coverage here and there, but not enough to support an independent article. It should definitely be discussed on the main article for the original board game, though. 05:57, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

This article fails on WP:SPIP it was created in 2015 by an user who declared he/she was connected with a production company (then blanked their user page). 2 of the other main contributors have usernames closely resembling the subject of the article, none of the 3 have edited any other articles (nor this one since 2015).

The result was delete. As NPOL doesn't assume notability for city councillors, the applicable standard for this article is whether the subject has enough media coverage to support an article, per the GNG. The consensus here is that the coverage is all either too local, or not reliable/independent enough to meet that standard. The size of the city in question is irrelevant in establishing whether the coverage is significant enough to establish notability. – bradv🍁 06:04, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:POLOUTCOMES and WP:NPOL. Houston being the 4th largest cities in the U.S. and a prominent international city should allow for municipal councilors to have their own articles. The 3 bigger cities above it LA, New York, and Chicago all their city councilors have articles. Theres even smaller cities like San Diego, San Francisco, Boston, etc. that's councilors have articles. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 22:06, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete unless somebody can significantly improve the sourcing. Even in major cities where the city councillors are eligible for consideration under WP:NPOL #2, they still aren't entitled to park their notability on primary sources or blogs — a city councillor gets an article when he or she can show enough media coverage to pass WP:GNG, not just because he or she has a "staff" profile on the city council's own self-published website about itself. It's real coverage in real media or bust, even in Los Angeles and New York City and Chicago. Bearcat (talk) 18:09, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Bearcat: what about WP:NEXIST and WP:ARTN? If you go look at articles for city councilors of other major cities the content and sourcing is just as bad or worse. For example, Vivian Moreno and Michael Scott Jr.. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 19:21, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Bearcat (talk) 21:23, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- You're right that I personally should have started the article on a better note using better references, but that's beyond the point. This article should not be deleted because the subject is notable and there is significant coverage. Can you at least agree to keep under the WP:ARTN and WP:NEXIST policies?

- Comment - here are some WP:NEXIST sources that prove significant coverage and notability.[4] [5] [6] [7][8] [9] [10][11] Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 19:46, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Let's break those down:
- TexasGOPVote is local coverage, non-notable, and non-independent
- KHOU is a local Houston station, and the article is not significant coverage. The article is about Marcel McClinton and only makes a passing reference to Kubosh.
- Houston Press is a local paper with a circulation of under 50,000
- Houston Chronicle is local, and that is an opinion piece
- News4SanAntonio isn't exactly local (although it's less than 200 miles away and in the same state), but it's not significant coverage. The article is about Marcel McClinton and only makes a passing reference to Kubosh.
- Bay Area Houston is local, and it's a wordpress blog, not a reliable source.
- OutSmart is local ("a monthly publication serving Houston's LGBT community"), and it's not significant coverage of Kubosh (he's just mentioned in one sentence and has a single quote in the article).
- Fox 26 Houston is local.
- None of these qualify as
national or international press coverage, beyond the scope of what would ordinarily be expected for their role
. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 01:18, 11 March 2020 (UTC)- WP:POLOUTCOMES states that councilors of internationally prominent cities are notable enough to have their own articles. His role with local sources and one semi-non local source is enough alone for him to have an article. If you go look at almost every Chicago, LA, San Francisco, etc. councilor you will see that almost none have national or international sources. However, the reason they aren't deleted is because they are councilor of prominent international cities. The quote you gave above
national or international press coverage, beyond the scope of what would ordinarily be expected for their role
is only meant for politicians thatsoffice would not ordinarily be considered notable
. Kubosh's office is considered to be notable under POLOUTCOMES; therefore, international or national press coverage is not a requirement. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 05:43, 11 March 2020 (UTC)- WP:POLOUTCOMES never states that councilors of prominent cities are notable, it just says that
precedent has tended to favor keeping members
. Using a statement like that to infer notability is circular reasoning. Read the top of that page:This page is not a policy or guideline, and previous outcomes do not bind future ones . . . Notability always requires verifiable evidence, and all articles on all subjects are kept or deleted on the basis of sources showing their notability, not their subjective importance or relationship to something else.
It goes on to sayAvoid over-reliance on citing these "common outcomes" when stating one's case at Articles for Deletion. While precedents can be useful in helping to resolve notability challenges, editors are not necessarily bound to follow past practice. When push comes to shove, notability is demonstrated by the mustering of evidence that an article topic is the subject of multiple instances of non-trivial coverage in trustworthy independent sources.
The semi-non-local source is the definition of trivial coverage, as it's a passing reference in an article about someone else. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 14:20, 11 March 2020 (UTC)- Kubsosh has multiple independent sources, they may not be national or international, but they are secondary sources. WP:NPOL (the actual guideline) never states that he needs international or national sources. We should stick withe the precent on this because Houston is a very prominent international city. This article would have been an easy keep if you replaced every instance of "Houston" with "Chicago" even when the 2 cities are pretty much the same in prominance.

- Delete when challenged, article creator is not able to name any significant coverage in national and international sources beyond the expected. But they do name a whole list of sources that don't help. I'm not finding anything either. Nothing presented here is an indication of notability. buidhe 12:59, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
- There are plenty of local sources from the Houston area covering Kubosh. International or national sources shouldn't be required for council members of prominent cities like Houston. Kubosh literally is a representative for over 2 million people (he's an al-large member). The quantity and quality of sources on Kubosh are on par with all other council members of internationally prominent cities bigger and smaller than Houston. The best thing to do especially in this case is stick with precedent. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 02:05, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

- Keep There are many aspects to this topic but being "overly complex" is not a reason to delete. The aspect of combatting malaria is not trivial; it is quite significant as that disease kills over 400K people every year. The title of the article is fine per WP:COMMONNAME and, per WP:EUPHEMISM, we should not disguise this with a more pompous title – "Do not assume that plain language is inappropriate".

I have changed the link to FICTA to show that they are a member of that organisation as well as link to an article from The Irish Times from last year talking about them- there was already a link to an independent interview with DDI linked on the page. I don't expect this page to be a long page but I think it qualifies for remaining/remaining as a stub. Darren J. Prior (talk) 19:03, 9 March 2020 (UTC)Darren J. PriorDarren J.

- Delete per nom. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NORG. As part of a WP:BEFORE exercise (and an attempt to see whether there were any material sources that could help expand and improve the stub), I had a look in the Irish newspapers of record (Irish Independent and Irish Times). I could find next to nothing. A search on the Irish Times website returns a few results, including the only non-primary source we see in the article itself. But all are largely trivial/passing mentions in news coverage or magazine-style entries about other topics. And "letters to the editor" type things. Same goes for a search on the Irish Independent (two results, one also a "letter to the editor" type thing). None of this coverage is primarily about the subject organisation, and none of it meets the expectations of WP:ORGDEPTH. I am not seeing how this organisations meets the project's notability criteria at all. Delete. Guliolopez (talk) 20:38, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

- The article currently has almost 50 sources. That already says WP:GNG has clearly been met. Watch sources disappear soon. So he's a failure of a politician, because he didn't win the 2018 election and only won the 2020 primary by 13 points. Forget WP:NPOL. Before he ran for office, his op eds were published by the San Diego Union-Tribune, The Washington Post, The Hill and three different times by NBC News. You have got to have some serious notability to get published in those publications. Take the smallest of these sources; an editor at the Union-Tribune is a personal friend. If I were to ask him to publish one of my op ads, he'd laugh in my face. I don't carry the clout. NBC has had reporters not last long enough to get three bylines. After working in the Obama White House and with the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Campa-Najjar had it back in 2016 and 2017, before the media imposed blackout caused by his announcing for office. Already, without the conclusion of the current election, at 31, he is an embedded Democratic Party insider. Trackinfo (talk) 05:23, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- People don't get Wikipedia articles by being the author of media coverage about other things, they get Wikipedia articles by being the subject of media coverage written by other people.

- Delete Fails WP:NPOL. Declaring candidacy for a political office does not guarantee notability. We went through a similar discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lauren McLean. I argued that – because the subject of the article was likely to be elected mayor – she might as well have a page. The page was deleted, and successfully recreated after she won the election. If Ammar Campa-Najjar does indeed win his election, he will meet notability standards. Patience is a virtue. KidAd (talk) 21:17, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- You didnt even review WP:NPOL...

- He clearly meets WP:GNG, "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.” We have in-depth coverage in at least a half dozen global WP:RS and a half dozen more local/regional WP:RS. If he loses in 2021 he will remain notable. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 02:55, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Every single candidate in every single election in every single place on earth that has competitive elections can always show some evidence of campaign coverage — so if all you had to do to exempt an as yet unelected political candidate from having to pass WP:NPOL just because "media coverage exists", then every candidate would always get that exemption and NPOL would literally never apply to anybody at all anymore. Which is why we have a longstanding consensus that the mere existence of some campaign coverage is not in and of itself enough to make a candidate notable just for being a candidate: to be notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia without winning the election first, a candidate has to already have preexisting notability for other reasons independent of the candidacy. Bearcat (talk) 18:20, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Yes Bearcat we are well aware of your opinions regarding the subject article... Your refusal to participate in a discussion when the page was in draft mode was frustrating for a number of editors, seems a bit random and nonconstructive to break your silence now. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 18:32, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Firstly, what you call my "opinions" are not my opinions, they're completely correct statements about how NPOL actually works: the mere existence of some local campaign coverage is not an automatic GNG-based exemption from having to pass NPOL, because every candidate always has some local campaign coverage.
- Secondly, I did say my piece in the draft discussion, and was under no obligation to keep "participating" any further than I already did — and furthermore, if anybody really had questions about my statement, they could have approached me to ask them, but did not. So I frankly don't give a rat's ass how "frustrated" you are by it, because I had no obligation to do anything different than I did. And accordingly, you can also take your opinion of how "random and nonconstructive" is is for me to participate when it gets nominated for AFD, and stuff it in your nearest garbage can.

- It clearly passes WP:BASIC, there are multiple full length biographical features on the subject in WP:RS for instance [14]. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 02:18, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- "Biographical" content isn't what we're looking for. The notability of a politician is established by writing and sourcing content about his significance as a politician, not by writing or sourcing where he went to high school or the names of his family members. A candidate gets a Wikipedia article without winning in one of two situations: either (a) he can credibly claim to have preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him an article independently of the candidacy (i.e. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) he can show a credible reason why his candidacy was so much more notable than everybody else's candidacies that even if he died tomorrow and thus never accomplished anything else, what he had already accomplished today would already pass the ten year test as a topic that people will still be looking for in 2030 anyway (i.e. Christine O'Donnell.) They don't get exempted from having to pass NPOL just because some campaign coverage exists, because some campaign coverage always exists for every candidate in every election everywhere.

- Keep, yes, a large amount of the references in the article are more about the election that the person, but there is still more than enough in the way of Biographical references to pass GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:24, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- "Biographical" references are not what GNG tests for — "biographical" references are remarkably easy to come by for a lot of people who come nowhere near our inclusion standards. If the availability of "biographical" references were all it took to exempt a person from having to pass a subject-specific inclusion test, then we would have to waive WP:NATHLETE and keep an article about every high school football player who ever had two human interest pieces in his local media about his recovery from an injury. The question of whether the context of what the person is getting covered for clears our notability standards or not is what GNG concerns itself with, not the ability to locate the names of his parents and grandparents and where he went to college.

- Keep as information is still being released. This was a mass shooting with 18 casualties (casualties count injuries and deaths). I think it should deserve to stay, with massive expansion of course. Elijahandskip (talk) 16:53, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Massive expansion depends on interest in this incident lasting beyond the news cycle. The guidance at Wikipedia:Notability (events) says, don't rush to create articles. Unfortunately, mass shootings are an almost every day event in the United States. So far, this shooting rates a mention at List of mass shootings in the United States in 2020 but little more. • Gene93k (talk) 22:33, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

- Comment to date, this shooting has the most casualties of any 2020 mass shooting in th United States. Elijahandskip (talk) 12:49, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- As this year is only 20% through, that's not that big a distinction, especially from the lasting coverage perspective. 17 wounded in a gang-related fight isn't a guarantee of non-routine reliable source interest. In most other developed countries, an incident like this might be shocking. In the United States, this level of gun violence is a fact of life and borderline WP:DOGBITESMAN without evidence that it changes anything. • Gene93k (talk) 14:44, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- It also appears that all the coverage dates from March 8; if this was particularly significant I would expect ongoing coverage. Of course, this event could be the tipping point leading to sensible gun laws in America, but holding my breath I am not.TheLongTone (talk) 14:53, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Comment to date, this shooting has the most casualties of any 2020 mass shooting in th United States. Elijahandskip (talk) 12:49, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Despite the large number of people injured, this is a routine news event. The fact that searching Google News for "2020 Cleveland shooting" brings up two separate shootings ([15], [16]) in Cleveland that have occurred since this one (and this one only happened three days ago) kind of proves that. At present, the event fails each of the criteria at WP:EVENTCRIT, and that seems unlikely to change. The fact that this is currently the shooting with the largest number of casualties in the United States in 2020 is an arbitrary distinction and does not confer notability.

- Comment, I haven't searched for sources online yet, so I am not voting just yet. However, I do disagree with the statement above that many of the already-cited sources have significant coverage. Coverage cited in the article consists of interviews in student publications and routine political candidacy press. The only citation that I see so far that clearly contributes toward GNG is [17]. signed, Rosguill talk 16:39, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- It's fair enough if you don't like the interview sources, though I would say some are reliable sources, but nevertheless the NBC source is certainly reliable together with the Independent. Coverage in other reliable sources includes: Inquirer, South China Morning Post, another NBC article from 2015. This is by no means exhaustive, just a few examples. Demonstrating long lasting coverage around the world. Polyamorph (talk) 17:24, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- My bad on the NBC piece, I saw that it was election coverage for the subjects' failed congressional run and mentally wrote it off. I see now that it did have enough biographical information that it can be considered nontrivial. I'm still not thrilled that the available coverage is either 1) borderline ROUTINE election coverage for a failed attempt to become the youngest US congressperson, 2) interviews or 3) glancing coverage that's much more about Bernie vs. Biden than it is about the subject. signed, Rosguill talk 17:34, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

- Weak delete, having searched for sources online now, while there's a flurry of recent coverage, virtually all of it is about a Twitter skirmish related to the 2020 election.

- I had already seen that source; it provides extremely detailed coverage of a Twitter kerfluffle with unclear long-term consequences. I maintain my WP:NOPAGE position, which is distinct from arguing that it doesn't meet GNG; if we were to follow secondary source's coverage of the subject when writing an article, we'd end up with an article almost entirely about said Twitter drama, which I don't think makes sense as a standalone article that is ostensibly a biography. IMO it makes much more sense to cover that incident in the context of existing articles about the 2020 election and related culture wars. signed, Rosguill talk 17:49, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

And that stir was minimal, despite the best efforts of some partisans to puff it up into a scandal that could get some press. HouseOfChange (talk) 05:31, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Article about footballer who made two substitute's appearances (for roughly 30 minutes of total play) in the fully-pro Swiss Super League. There is no significant coverage in online sources (just stuff like this which indicates he played amateur football in the seventh level of Swiss football after his very brief professional stint). The article was kept at an AfD in 2009 (I voted weak keep at the time), but none of the !keep votes focused on the comprehensive GNG failure, and the consensus that has developed over time that minimal play in a fully-pro league doesn't justify the presumption of notability in WP:NFOOTBALL when the GNG so clearly isn't met.

Fails WP:NALBUM. Sourced either to non-RS metal blogs (and even then, they aren't reviews of the album, just notification of its release), sites like Discogs and Rate Your Music which only show the album exists, and the websites of various artists participating on the album. There are certainly notable artists on the record, but nothing to show that the album itself is notable, and I can't find any in-depth reliable coverage.

For example, WorldCat lists Specifying Engineer for 1975 and 1958 only. I found https://indpaintandpowder.co.uk/, but I suspect that's not what you were referring to. If you've got URLs for these, or even more complete citations (publishers, ISSN, etc) that would help evaluate the sources.

The result was redirect to Mrnjavčević family. The rough consensus is not to keep the article but also not to delete, so I'll go with a redirect which allows furher merging. Mrnjavčević family sounds a reasonable target. Tone 12:08, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

I came across this article when doing reasearch about a region in Montenegro. It made no sense, but I hadn't verified whether the listed bibliography confirmed the article. It doesn't.
The biography itself is a gross violation of its own bibliography. The folklore collection Project Rastko says Gojko. A fictitious character, brother of Vukašin and Uglješa of the Mrnjavčević family. and in the article this is used as He is mentioned in Serb epic poetry as Vojvoda Gojko. It has spilled also in other articles in an attempt to give plausability to this character's existence. On Mrnjava: Bosković (2009), who is cited, writes ''Even though Pavel Jozef Safarik supported this assertion and the assumption that Mrnjava had a third son named Gojko, both Mrnjava and Gojko are unknown to the more reliable modern history and in the article this was used as Some historians do not acknowledge Gojko as being the third son, though Benedictine monk and historian Mavro Orbini registered Mrnjava as father of the three sons, supported by Pavel Jozef Šafárik.. So, for ten years on wikipedia there's an article about a Serbian nobleman that never existed. It has all the paraphernalia of a biography: an infobox with a made-up birth date (probably by an editor), general information about the historical period he supposedly lived, and a lineage. If all of the extra stuff were removed from the article, it could be summed up as Gojko M. is fictional character in Serbian folklore. Modern historiography has rejected any notion that he existed..

- There are about 40 books listed in that link. About 30 mention Gojko M. So why is he is mentioned? In most of them, he's listed as a character of Serb epic poetry in a very brief manner. So, I ask: why does that make this article viable as a standalone? Why can't those 2-3 three lines I mentioned ''Gojko M. is fictional character in Serbian folklore. Modern historiography has rejected any notion that he existed. suffice for a small paragraph under Mrnjavčević family?--Maleschreiber (talk) 23:55, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

- Comment I don't have an opinion on this but I will note that being fictitious doesn't necessarily imply no article. We have articles on lots of fictitious characters. It comes down to whether the fictitious character is sufficiently notable and covered by enough reliable sources. Even an argument between experts over his existence adds to his notability in a small way. Zerotalk 02:54, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- In such a case, we would expect at least one of those thirty books to devote extensive space to him. Is this so?--Calthinus (talk) 03:53, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Zero0000: I agree with you and I searched for folk stories that have him as a central character and such, but he's just a name mentioned in passing in most. I think that 2-3 lines can be salvaged from this article and be used to expand a section on the stub-class Mrnjavčević family.--Maleschreiber (talk) 10:31, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

- Weak keep or merge to The Mountain Wreath. He seems like a real historical character, possibly legendary, but with a bunch of mentions, through I don't see any in-depth coverage.

- He is also called fictional (well, imaginary...) in [28]. But I think this is salvageable. A merge is an option, yes, but it could also be rewritten into an article about the poem he appears in; in general, works of fiction are more likely to be notable then characters and such that appear in them. I'll ping User:Toughpigs who is pretty good at rescuing such content too. If I were to vote for merge, I'd suggest the poem (The Mountain Wreath) instead of the family, through the family article should certainly mention him too. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:33, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

- Keep (or merge) (but without the genealogy). Calling him Vojvoda does not mean that two people are conflated, as this is a title or office, but perhaps rename to Vojvoda Gojko. His appearance in an epic poem, whether he is fictional or legendary to enough to justify the existence of an article (or redirect). I express no view as to target, as this is beyond my knowledge.

Major notability concerns. Sources about the subject seem to fail requirements for NBIO/GNG, they are either in passing, rewritten press-releases, or WP:INTERVIEWS. I am not seeing anything that's both in-depth and reliable. A merge has been suggested in an edit summary by editor who removed the PROD but with no specific article. We don't usually merge biographies into other pages, so I don't see a good target. OPI Products would not be a valid target, as we don't generally preserve employees bios in company's articles.

- "Suzi Weiss-Fischmann: My First Big Travel Splurge" by Debbi Kickham, Forbes (Nov 29, 2018)

- "Suzi Weiss Fischmann Sees Tie-Dyed Nails in Our Future" by Jane Larkworthy, New York Magazine (April 19, 2019)
- "Local Color" by Kate M. Jackson, Boston Globe (Aug 4, 2005)
- She's the CEO of a company, so obviously the articles are about her business, and they're interviews, because that's how you write articles about CEOs. Times of Israel, Forbes, Jewish News, New York Magazine and Boston Globe are reliable sources. I'll add these three to the article in a Further reading section so that people who want to improve the article can use them as sources. -- Toughpigs (talk) 20:55, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for finding more sources, but they are still low quality. Almost all are interviews in low outlets. Sure, WP:INTERVIEW is "just an essay", but the point is not a single source here seems to be a very good much for the GNG (not an essay...) requirement of in-depth coverage in reliable sources. What coverage there is beyond interviews is focused on her company, not on herself. Her life has not been subject to any in-depth treatment outside, arguably, interviews. It's borderline. I've seen worse bios, but I've seen plenty, IMHO, similar, deleted, as at best WP:TOOSOON. Well, let's see what others think. Notable bio, or vanity piece? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:11, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

- If kept, it would certainly need editing for promotionalism. Finding sources about the lab itself is a bit difficult, because of the many news reports about research conducted there, but there are some things esp. in Swiss media, if one searches for "IBM Rüschlikon": the European Physical Society designated it as a "Historic Site" ([30]), there was once an attempted terror attack against the lab ([31], [32]), and there is a report by a Swiss IT trade publication ([33]). My impression is that this is certainly a historically significant research lab, one of the leading sites of technological research in Switzerland, but I'm neutral as to whether it needs its own article or is better covered in IBM Research. Sandstein 09:45, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Merge Seems like most of the sources in the IBM Research article are primary. So I think it would be good to merge to this article to it in order to boast its notability. Then if enough is written about this particular lab eventually it can be split off again. At this point it doesn't like there is enough on it's own though. Even if there might be "sources", who knows how notable they are or if anyone will ever use them to expand the article, to the degree it would be worth saving now as a separate article in case. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:56, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, buidhe 02:39, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep The lab definitely gets credit and notability for its Nobel prize winning work--the work was done at the lab, the scientists were employed by the lab, the work was planned, approved, and sponsored by the lab. Some reliable sources, books and the Swiss physics society, discussing IBM Zurich and it's Nobel prizes:[34],[35],[36],[37]. I agree with Sandstein that the promotional content should be toned down, but that is a matter of editing and not deletion. A pretty notable lab and surmountable article problems suggest a keep. --
{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk}
04:02, 28 February 2020 (UTC)- As far as I can tell, the LAB is mentioned in passing. For example, the last source is all 'worked in the lab'-like mentions, no evidence the lab is analyzed in detail. Only [38] is an exception and about the lab, but I don't think it is peer reviewed, effectively a newsletter-level coverage, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:51, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- The lab didn't win the Nobel prize. The researchers who worked there did. Notability isn't inherited and it's arguable they would have still won the prize at any of IBM's other research labs. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:32, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Of course the lab did not win the prizes, but sources show the lab made the work possible and supported the people, the lab and equipment on which the work was done and the projects in which the work was done. The argument that the lab is non-notable because such discoveries could have been elsewhere is speculation and a non-policy based reason for deletion. The sources above (and others out there) show that the lab is notable and has significant coverage in RS for its back-to-back Nobel prizes. As Bell labs has gotten credit and coverage in RS for the invention of the transistor, IBM Zurich has gotten credit and coverage in RS for the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope and for discovery of high Tc superconductors. My keep recommendation stands. --

20:57, 28 February 2020 (UTC)- Of course its speculation that the work could have done somewhere else. That's why I said it was arguable that it could have. I never claimed otherwise. I'm not saying you should change your vote either. I just find the discussion of proper sources interesting and having it helps us makes better decisions later on. That said, Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features) (which I assume this is about because it's a specific lab, not IBM Research more generally) says that for places to be notable for events (inventing something, winning a noble prize, etc) taking place there the place itself still requires significant coverage on it's own. Which is why Bell Labs is notable. In this article, the first two sources are about the scientists that won the prices and the lab is only mentioned in passing. Whereas, the second source is trivial and the third is just a link to the Wikipedia article not on the lab. All the other sources except for two seem to be trivial also. Two sources is hardly significant coverage. Let alone is it enough to substantiate the claim in the article that the lab is "world-renowned." Compare that to the Bell Labs article. Which has 87 sources, 87. How at all does a subject with 87 sources even compare to one with 2? --Adamant1 (talk) 00:51, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Deemed notable according to WP:JUDGE as a "judge who has held international, national, or sub-national (e.g., province- or state-wide) office". He is a senior judge at Yala Provincial Court. See ref 1 "a senior judge at the provincial court" and ref 5 "chief judge of the Yala trial court" as well as others.

- Comment: Looking at the footnote at WP:JUDGE, which states:
I must say that this is certainly not the case here. Thailand is a unitary state, not a federal state like the US (from whose perspective the criterion seems to have been written), and the provinces don't hold any independent power that would subject them to much media scrutiny. Also, provincial courts are only by coincidence named as such, and their operations are completely unrelated to the province. (For example, there are two provincial courts in Yala Province.) Even in the US, the usual interpretation appears to be that the guideline confers notability to state supreme court judges, but not those lower. Thailand's provincial courts are the second-lowest tier among the the courts of first instance, so serving such a position would still be a far cry from notability. A quick Google search reveals zero results mentioning the subject prior to the incident, apart from government name lists.This is a secondary criterion. People who satisfy this criterion will almost always satisfy the primary criterion. Biographers and historians will usually have already written about the past and present holders of major political offices. However, this criterion ensures that our coverage of major political offices, incorporating all of the present and past holders of that office, will be complete regardless.
That said, this was a significant event which is still generating coverage months later. Even if the person is found to lack notability, I don't see any reason the article should be deleted rather than rescoped to "cover the event, not the person" per WP:1E. --Paul_012 (talk) 20:26, 1 March 2020 (UTC) - Keep per Philafrenzy and meets WP:JUDGE. Idolmm (talk) 20:10, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep and rename to Suicide of Khanakorn Pianchana (with redirects from Khanakorn Pianchana and Suicide of Kanakorn Pianchana, due to spelling differences). Per my above comment, WP:JUDGE is problematic in how it should be interpreted (in this case, Yala Provincial Court does not have jurisdiction over the entire province of Yala, so he would fail the criterion even if it were considered to cover Thai provinces), and there is zero in-depth coverage of the subject prior to his first suicide attempt, thus apart from the one event in question, the subject as an individual fails to meet the WP:GNG. The event, however, is notable, especially (sadly) with his second, successful, attempt, and should be the subject of Wikipedia's coverage. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:59, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

- Comment I fail to see how renaming to "Suicide of" is superior to a conventional biography from the reader's point of view, however deficient the earlier biographical material may be. Other sources, probably from Thai newspapers, will certainly emerge over time as he had a long career. Philafrenzy (talk) 06:47, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- The coverage of his suicide attempts will naturally focus on the surrounding issues and their effects on the South Thailand insurgency, rather than his personal life. Renaming the article would provide for a scope that can more naturally follow this flow of coverage. --Paul_012 (talk) 22:24, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- Why can't we do both in the same article? If his suicide is so significant, surely we want to know about the rest of his life too? Philafrenzy (talk) 22:38, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- Of course we can, as far as sources are available. Suicide of ... articles commonly include a "Background" or "Life" section written in conventional biography style. See Suicide of Leelah Alcorn for example. Renaming would make it clear that the article is primarily about the event, and would allow for in-depth discussion which might otherwise be WP:UNDUE in a normal biography. --Paul_012 (talk) 02:09, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Delete.Even searching with the other title of "The Gore," I can't turn up any additional RS coverage of this book. Since the article notes that it was not successful, that doesn't seem too surprising. Maybe it can be folded into the author's page or a list of his works. ~ oulfis 🌸(talk) 03:48, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Changing my vote to keep per the second source linked below -- thanks for finding that. I've never heard of ISFDB so I only searched some newspapers and journals that my library subscribes to. ~ oulfis 🌸(talk) 20:18, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep and speedy close. As Casey Stengel said, "Can't anybody here play this game?". ISFDB alone shows three additional reviews of this book. A recent ebook edition quotes a Yankee magazine review on its "cover"; another retailer page quotes a review from Vermont Life. The novel was reprinted under its alternate title by the University Press of New England (a consortium including, inter alia, Dartmouth and Brandeis, another clear indicator of notability. There's also a review in Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Review Annual 1991. Ramsey Campbell's best-of-the-year 1990 volume cited the novel as a "noteworthy title". It's well-established that cursory Google searches are utterly inadequate in turning up book reviews and similar coverage, especially for pre-internet publications. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong! (talk) 19:00, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking a look. I agree that searching Google is not sufficient, which is why I searched newspapers.com and found a review, which I added to the article. I'm not so sure that ISFDB is WP:RS because, like Wikipedia itself, ISFDB is a volunteer effort and Wikipedia itself is not WP:RS, see Wikipedia:WPNOTRS. Good to know that Vermont Life and Yankee may have reviewed it, it would be best to find the actual reviews, be sure that they meet the requirements of a non-trivial mention and add them to the article. I'll see if I can find back issues of Vermont Life and Yankee online. I'm not sure that Ramsey Campbell's best-of-year 1990 citation as a noteworthy title counts as a review, it seems like a trivial mention, is there an online copy of Campbell's citation somewhere so that we can take a look? I realize not all things are online, though it would be helpful if this source was available. I'm all for keeping the article if it meets WP:BKCRIT and we can find a second review in a WP:RS source. 04:47, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- Ok, I found a second review in "Vermont Life". Thanks for the tip. I'll see about adding it to the article shortly. I searched Masterfile, which is "a database provided by EBSCO Information Services" and Masterfile has only bibliographic info for Yankee from 1984 and full text from 1997. I did not find a reference for this book in Masterfile. There was a 1998 and a 1999 review for two other Citro books. I was not able to find an online archive of Yankee for 1990. Cxbrx (talk) 05:18, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- I updated the article with the Vermont Life reference. I think the review is rather short and might not meet the definition of what is needed for WP:BKCRIT, but I'm willing to go with what we have. At this point, I'd vote "Meh". I don't think this book is particularly notable and it barely meets the requirements, but if others feel it is a keep, then I'm fine with that. Many thanks again to User:Hullaballoo_Wolfowitz for the tips. I do spend quite a bit of effort poking around for sources before suggesting a delete and look to the delete process as a way to drum up further resources once I've hit a dead end. The article had a notability tag since October 2019 and had no citations, so it seemed questionable. I'm not sure what the next step is here, whether I withdraw this or whether and admin has to close it, so I'd appreciate guidance. Thanks again to everyone who took a look!

WP:FANCRUFT. The main page is utterly pointless fanwank that gives overly-detailed and unnecessary descriptions of the episodes. Everything is written in an overly informal tone. Yes, this is a long running show, but the amount of detail here is unbearably thick and fancruft-y. This is not the kind of show that seems conducive to an episode list -- it's not episodic in nature, so there are no story arcs or characters to speak of, and no information is gained by retaining this. It'd be like making List of Jeopardy! episodes.
The "Season 1" page is sourced entirely to sources that have literally nothing to do with the show, while each other individual season page is utterly unsourced. This appears to be part of a slow-motion split by Jax 0677, which is merely making things worse by spreading the problems over several pages instead of just one.
Yes, episode lists are generally okay, but in this case, the lists are so fundamentally flawed and overlong. If they are to be kept, then I think some WP:TNT needs to be applied. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 09:56, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

- Probably because people who actually read the article enjoy what you consider fancruft. Anyway, can you give me a single example of WP:TNT ever actually working? Would anyone create an article knowing it had been deleted before? Dream Focus 02:43, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:TVSPLIT. I don't understand why you'd want to TNT the pages instead of just making the edits you'd like to make. If the current article offends you, cut out the parts you don't like. -- Toughpigs (talk) 20:57, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- If I cut out the parts I didn't like, the page would be blank. There is way, way too much fancruft and tl;dr here that literally the only solution is to nuke it and start over. Just like all the Total Drama subpages that got so bloated that a bureaucrat had to approve the deletion since there were that many edits. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:08, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- The other solution is to edit each episode down to a few sentences. It doesn't take any special skill or knowledge to turn a four-paragraph summary into a snappy one-paragraph summary. It's just time-consuming and boring, especially for a show that sounds incredibly boring to start with. Personally, I wouldn't do it, because IDON'TLIKEIT. It's fine if you feel the same way, but it's not a valid rationale for TNT. -- Toughpigs (talk) 23:26, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Agreed. Having articles for each season (which currently pass WP:TVSPLIT) is merely the symptom. Removing the fancruft from each of these articles would be the proper way of dealing with the cause. Cheers, 1292simon (talk)
- Delete the season articles, keep the list of episodes one and restore boldly converted redirects. The season articles where created by splitting content from the list of episodes article. That content should be restored. Season articles are allowed and I personally I'm a big fan of. However, these season articles have nothing to add except MoS:TV violating-badly written prose, with no sources at all. If Jax 0677 or anyone else, wants to create season articles, if this is the quality, then I'm sadly going to recommend they start in the draftspace. These articles are nowhere near ready for mainspace. To be honest, this should really be a case of BRD. The pages where redirects, an article boldly split the content and converted the redirect to an article, and now they should be reverted instead of taken to AfD. --Gonnym (talk) 18:32, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

No evidence this fictional entity passes WP:NFICTION/GNG. WP:FANCRUFT.

- The Complete Stephen King Universe: A Guide to the Worlds of Stephen King by Stanley Wiater, Christopher Golden and Hank Wagner, St. Martin's Press (2006)
- The Beginnings of Stephen King by Claudio Hernández, Babelcube Incorporated (2018)
- Screening Stephen King: Adaptation and the Horror Genre in Film and Television by Simon Brown, University of Texas Press (2018)
- Modern Critical Views: Stephen King by Harold Bloom, Chelsea House (1998)
- These sources do involve some explanation of the plot, because that is how writing about fiction works; you have to discuss the plot in order to show the element in the larger context of the narrative. I'll put these on the article in a Further reading section so that editors who want to improve the article can use these sources. -- Toughpigs (talk) 05:27, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- I am sorry, but I don't see any non-plot analysis here outside a sentence or so like "The Shop is King's allegory for secretive government". Other than that it is still pure PLOT, and as such, those sources fail the in-depth requirement of GNG. But I am all for saving such content - if you or anyone else can either add a reception/analysis section that has a decent paragraph of content, or, since AfDs are "not for fixing" (gosh, terrible if we actually improve an article...), provide quotations from sources here that show there is more than one-sentence analysis of this out there, I'd be happy to consider withdrawing this.

And the one or two sentences that try to provide any kind of analysis is not even close to being enough to establish notability or support an article. It could possibly be used as a redirect to Firestarter (novel) - while it did make a few brief appearances and mentions in other King works, Firestarter was the book in which it was the focus. But, I’m not sure how useful of a search term this actually is, so I’m fine with straight deletion as well. Rorshacma (talk) 18:33, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - The is pretty much nothing in the above sources that could be added to the article. WP:N clarifies "significant coverage" for a reason. The simple act of being mentioned in a book that itself is a reliable source means nothing if it says nothing about the topic. This article has nothing to stand on currently.

Another station/siding, as many sites state. Sun Valley was built along the highway just to the north, but by that time the station itself was long gone: this plat which dates to 1950 shows it already demolished. (It also claims that the station was originally called Aztec, which seems to line up with a couple of other sources.) Other than that its extremely limited fame is that the Holbrook meteorite fragments came down around there. I don 't think that's enough to justify an article. Mangoe (talk) 03:03, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Yet another WP:STATION. Barns writes that Arntz is a station. Fame of geographic places is not inherited from events like the Holbrook meteorite. Good job on the research. Cxbrx (talk) 04:54, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- It's on the map and the region is known for its meteorites. [39] "arntz"%2B"holbrook" "arntz"%2B"holbrook" [40] [41] "arntz"%2B"meteorite" I see no reason to delete, but perhaps better represented in a list somewhere instead of a standalone article. SportingFlyer T·C 07:10, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete I see a few references that call Arntz a railroad siding but nothing reliable indicates a populated place. Doesn't meet basic notability threshold. The Holbrook meteorite is already discussed in Holbrook, Arizona; I don't see any reason to include reference to Arntz siding. Glendoremus (talk) 19:50, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Book and newspaper sources refer to a "station" or "siding", not a populated place. The location does not inherit notability from the meteorite. –dlthewave ☎ 02:36, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Ephemeral sourcing, verging on diaphanous. There is basically no material out there that would allow constructing a well-referenced article, even if notability concerns could be met. Either delete, or redirect to Michael Moran (music producer) or Nick Rhodes. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 00:13, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Deletion would be a reasonable course of action, but both of those redirects would be incorrect (and indeed what prompted me to create the article in the first place, to clean up Mike Moran. lordbrixton — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lord Brixton (talk • contribs) 00:53, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete: Lord Brixton is correct, a redirect is not possible because those articles are for an entirely different Mike Moran and Nick Rhodes. I was growing up in the UK during the 1980s, listening to the radio, buying music papers... and I've never heard of this band. This is not a case of "they had a lot of coverage at the time, but you'll have to look for back issues of the NME to find it"... they simply never had much media attention. I can find one article in teen pop magazine No. 1 [44] and that's it. Richard3120 (talk) 23:46, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Doesn't pass WP:GARAGE, or WP:GNG. It only cites websites with discographies of the band (such as Discogs), passing mentions and one of the sources is literally a live performance.

- Keep. According to [45], the poem also has the names "Gaala-leged" and "Defeating the Infidels". From these names I found this ([46], p.57–58) book and this [47] article about it. In conjunction with the sources cited as footnotes 3 and 4 from https://org.uib.no/smi/sa/10/10Defeat.pdf (namely Abdi Sheik-Abdi, Divine Madness and Said S.
