List of largely non-notable mayors of a city of 30,000 people. Lacking secondary sources, also particularly lacking non-local sources per WP:AUD. Fails WP:NLIST AusLondonder (talk) 23:42, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. This is a list of almost entirely non-notable people — the only two who actually have Wikipedia articles both have them for having gone on to serve in the provincial legislature later in their careers, not for having been mayors of Langley per se — and it's referenced principally to the city's self-published list of its own former mayors rather than independent third-party sourcing. Merging into the city's article would also be acceptable, but it doesn't meet the standards necessary to qualify as a standalone list. Bearcat (talk) 14:42, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. only primary sources used, and almost all mayors on the list do not meet WP notability threshold to believe that someday they will have articles created in their names. Lokotim (talk) 17:32, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. This has turned into a classic trainwreck, which would make consensus on any given article more or less impossible to determine here.

- Comment by page creator: I am in the process of expanding this article. Please keep this in mind before/when voting. ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:32, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. For "And the Rest Is Drag", the article currently shows coverage from The Guardian and The A.V. Club, and a quick search pulls up coverage from IndieWire and Entertainment Weekly. The previous episode, "Hello, Kitty Girls!", has coverage in similar sources (see, for instance, Vulture). If certain episodes have more specific concerns, a more targeted nomination should address them, but for now, these episodes seem to meet WP:N. RunningTiger123 (talk) 18:04, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'll add to my previous comment: The standard for meeting notability should be WP:GNG, not WP:NTV (an essay which was not adopted as an SNG several years ago). RunningTiger123 (talk) 00:41, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per analysis by RunningTiger123: The Guardian, A.V. Club and EW are all good sources (for starters), and WP:N has been met. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- For clarity, my comment refers to "And the Rest Is Drag". I have not examined any of the other nominations. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:12, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Bri Shouldn't be a problem. I think you'll find there's a similar amount of coverage for those episodes, if not more. Also, the article selected for me to develop ("And the Rest Is Drag") is likely to be the shortest of the season 7 entries. Being the episode with the final challenge, "And the Rest Is Drag" has the fewest contestants, plus there was no mini-challenge and no guest judges. In other words, there's likely more to say about the season's earlier episodes. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:25, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

- Merge all into RuPaul's Drag Race (season 7). The sole existance of just reviews is not the basis for the notability/existance of an episode article, as has been discussed at WikiProject Television many times. -- Alex_21 TALK 20:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- I tried redirecting all of these articles to RuPaul's Drag Race (season 7), but they were all reverted. Bgsu98 (Talk) 20:25, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- WikiProject discussions do not supersede community-wide policies and guidelines (
WP:OWN,WP:LOCALCONSENSUS). If those discussions cite relevant policies and guidelines, it's more helpful to share those here so they can be weighed within this discussion. RunningTiger123 (talk) 00:34, 4 March 2024 (UTC)- In what way is OWN relevant here? Quite the random policy to just "quote". -- Alex_21 TALK 07:10, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- I meant that multiple editors, or a WikiProject, attempting to force articles to meet a certain standard of their own is in line with multiple-editor ownership (a few sample statements to watch at OWN point to this), but LOCALCONSENSUS makes the point more clearly so I've struck OWN from my comment. RunningTiger123 (talk) 19:04, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- In what way is OWN relevant here? Quite the random policy to just "quote". -- Alex_21 TALK 07:10, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Strong keep per RunningTiger123. The episode has received in-depth coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Even if you completely ignore the lesser publications like Channel Guide Magazine, City Magazine, Gambit Magazine, IndieWire, and Vada Magazine, you still have thorough reviews by major outlets like The A.V. Club, Entertainment Weekly, The Guardian, and Vulture. The vast majority of television episodes do not receive this much coverage. I am not finished expanding this entry, but I think I've demonstrated that an episode is much more than the ten bullet points included in the season 7 summary table. I've been disappointed and frustrated by the few editors who seem to enjoy placing as many obstacles in my path as possible, instead of collaborating or even assuming good faith. I cannot be expected to flesh out all of these entries to Good article quality by the AfD deadline, but I hope other editors will agree that my work on "And the Rest Is Drag" shows there's no need to mass delete or redirect these valid articles. We need more entries about LGBT culture and history. ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:38, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep And the Rest Is Drag; merge rest per Alex 21. It's very rare for competition-style series to warrant individual episode articles as they generally can never meet WP:GNG nor WP:NTVEP. And the Rest Is Drag is somewhat close, but still, I think it'd probably be better suited merged to the season article. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:24, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment, as I haven't decided what my ultimate thought is, but the sources as brought up here are not convincing me. Channel Guide Magazine, The Guardian, Entertainment Weekly and Indiewire are recaps and thus do not contribute toward notability per WP:NEPISODE. Looking at them directly too, none offer anything significant in terms of critical commentary, and the way are used in the article isn't really significant critical commentary either; sparse qualitative assessment in an article that is paragraphs of plot summary is not non-trivial coverage, especially if all that can be wrung out of it for reception is a sentence and a half. City, Gambit, and Vada are also largely recaps, and I'm not sure if they meet WP:RS. So, that leaves only AV Club, which is a robust review that offers significant commentary. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 23:24, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Even looking at WP:GNG, I remain not convinced since the sources that that article is slowly accumulating is recaps and recaps and more recaps with very little critical commentary or anything in the way of reviews in a non-trivial manner. Sources that provide plot summary and little else in the way of other commentary do not satisfy. It feels like we're inching toward WP:REFBOMBING with sources that simply summarize the plot rather than establishing meaningful coverage of the work. Even if enough sources eventually turn up, it isn't serving the article to prop it up with this way, and the recaps that don't provide meaningful commentary should be removed. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 00:48, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per RunningTiger123's commentary and the creator improving the articles per WP:HEY. AV and the Guardian are independent and show notability. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 23:50, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep and do not merge. On "And the Rest Is Drag": plenty of full-length independent coverage in respected publications such as The Guardian, Vulture and The A.V. Club,. IndieWire and Entertainment Weekly are largely recaps but contain critical commentary. The amount of critical commentary could not be contained within the season article. The genre of the show would be an indicator before research that notability is unlikely, but after research it turns out that it does meet GNG. On the other articles: I see no reason they would not also be notable given the episode-by-episode reviews by the same publications. — Bilorv (talk) 15:39, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star Mississippi 22:30, 10 March 2024 (UTC)- Comment: I looked at a random article and while it looked pretty big with a lot of detail, it really isn't. The episode detail is way too long and much more than the MOS:TV allows for. Most of the text in the production section was part of a bio of two people there and was completely unrelated to the actual episode. Gonnym (talk) 06:07, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per nomination and Merge summary of the episode into RuPaul's Drag Race. desmay (talk) 19:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- The nominator doesn't even offer a source assessment... They merely recommended a "forced redirect or deletion" because I reverted their redirect. Also, merging into the series entry is not plausible; I agree with User:Bilorv, who has said even a merge to the season entry would be difficult. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:31, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per commentary from Bilorv and RunningTiger123. Many articles such as "And the Rest Is Drag" showcase many independent coverages and notability from various publications. Also, merging all the information into a standalone article would be very lengthy. However, I would say it's best when creating an episode article should be in the draftspace, until the creator decides it's ready for the mainspace. — JuanGLP (talk/contribs) 12:52, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete Calling this short-lived regional daily a "major" newspaper is an exaggeration. According to a press release about a new newspaper by the same editor, Sylhet Protidin began publication in 2006 and ceased some time between 2007 and 2008.[1] I can't find any instance of it receiving an award or being cited by a reliable source. Does not meet WP:NNEWSPAPER or WP:NMEDIA. No good redirect target, but perhaps the alleged torture of the editor could be worked into Rapid Action Battalion. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:41, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Pinging as concerned parties those participants in the previous discussion who have edited in the past year: @JRA, Nyttend, and Work permit: --Worldbruce (talk) 17:48, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Have you searched in Bengali or just in English? If Reporters without Borders think a publication important enough to write an article about it, and if the UNHCR think it important enough to reproduce that article, there will be further reliable sources in its own language, regardless of what you find in English. Moreover, print serials characteristically get print coverage and subscription-only database coverage (e.g. Ulrichsweb), so Google will miss heaps of sources. Nyttend (talk) 20:54, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Nyttend: Yes, I searched in Bengali as well as English. The press release I linked to above is in Bengali. There is nothing about the paper in Ulrichsweb. Reporters without Borders (RSF) didn't write an article about Sylhet Protidin, but about the alleged torture of Ahmed Noor. All the article says about the paper is that Ahmed Noor was its editor, and it printed a story by human rights organization Odhikar. RSF is an advocacy organization that defends all journalists, not just those who work for outlets that are important or notable. WP:MUSTBESOURCES is unconvincing unless sources can be shown to exist. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:13, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Does not meet GNG, Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), or WP:NMEDIA. While it is sad concerning the torture of journalist Noor Ahmed, the two sources are concerning this individual (notability is not inherited) and not the subject, so currently mistitled. Once notability has been challenged, and a Search for additional sources performed (D), the burden shifts. If successful this is referred to as a HEY. Also, this is currently a BLP related article and the sourcing criteria is more stringent. -- Otr500 (talk) 01:48, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
WP:BLP of an actress, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NACTOR. As always, an actress's notability doesn't hinge on just listing acting roles per se, it hinges on the extent to which the article can or can't be referenced to media coverage about her and her performances: articles about her, reviews of her films or TV shows which single her performance out for dedicated attention, properly sourced evidence that she won or was nominated for a major acting award, and on and so forth.
But the sole footnote here is a short blurb which glancingly namechecks Andrea Gabriel's existence without being about Andrea Gabriel in any non-trivial sense, which isn't enough to get her over GNG all by itself if it's the only source she's got.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to be the subject of a lot more coverage than this. Bearcat (talk) 21:30, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Toadette (Let's discuss together!) 15:13, 11 March 2024 (UTC)- The topic of random inconsequential solar flares seems to get significant coverage, but I am seeing very little about the February 6, 2024 event that this article is focusing on. For example, the Newsweek article I believe you are referring to is covering an X1.9-class flare that occurred on February 22. Furthermore, in this Wikipedia article, only refs 1, 2, 5, and 9 are actually about the February 6 event. The rest are about other, unrelated flares.

A google search finds nothing of particular significance. The street was mentioned in a single recent Slobodna Dalmacija article apparently, based on the eponymous tag (in Croatian).

There is ABSOLUTELY sustained coverage almost every day in all the Pakistani newspapers about the Pakistan Armed Forces's ongoing campaign against terrorism in Pakistan, specifically against this above terrorist group called Pakistani Taliban, also called Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan. This '2023 Lakki Marwat operation' was, no doubt, part of that ONGOING WAR ON TERRORISM!!!
- Also, this article already has many references from major newspapers of Pakistan and India and a book reference...Ngrewal1 (talk) 20:43, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- nobody has said this is an isolated event, or that the broader campaign is not notable, just that this specific operation has not received lasting coverage. Do you have coverage demonstrating otherwise? Also, the book is from 2014, so can't possibly establish the notability of a 2023 event. Eddie891 Talk Work 20:56, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- The 2014 book reference was cited correctly NOT to talk about this operation in 2023 in particular, but is already given in the article under the title of 'Background' to this 2023 operation and connects it to the ongoing campaign to "combat terrorism in the region, which had been plagued by frequent attacks"...Ngrewal1 (talk) 22:44, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Uncommitted_(voting_option)#2024:_Michigan,_Minnesota,_and_Washington where the topic is already covered, without prejudice against changing the target if consensus is reached on the target's Talk page. Super Tuesday has come and gone, and we haven't really gained much in terms of evidence of notability. There is broad consensus here that the page should not be kept as a standalone article, but views are split as to the best redirect- or merge target. I don't see any convincing argument as to why a redirect should be done over a delete; there's nothing in the page history that necessitates erasure. Since the final relist, there seems to be a consensus for this redirect, so I see little value in another relisting. Owen× ☎ 21:04, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

- As per the entry some Democrat voters are voting “uncommitted” because they doubt Biden’s ability/competence to fulfil the role and to defeat Trump, thus merging it into an entry on the Israel/Palestine Conflict protest vote is not wholly accurate. Eight Whales (talk) 15:57, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- The difference is that the title includes the word "campaign," so there is some coordination and shared objectives.

- I looked in the same handbook where I found Social Liberal and Democratic Party (AfD discussion) documented in depth. It doesn't have this party, by either English or Spanish names. Looking for anything else, after eliminating the Egyptian party of the same name (in Spanish as well), turns up pretty much nothing. ISBN 9781107145948 gives this a total of two words: "unsuccessful (flop)". Uncle G (talk) 09:13, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

- Weak Delete per WP:NOTDIR / WP:NOTDATA. I'm a little surprised there isn't more coverage about this actor, given the notability of the works he's appeared. But I'm seeing a lot of small parts and uncredited work. I care about crediting artists, but we can't do that if there are no reliable secondary sources that have decided to cover it.

- Maetel Legend that boldly has no sources "except" through the "External links" section. There is no mention in the article "Cast" section of the subject.

Closer inspection reveals that the Delete views are anchored in guidelines, while the Keep ones are of the OTHERSTUFFEXISTS or WP:NEXIST type, without providing any sources. We all recognize the impact of WP:BIAS when it comes to non-Western topics, and are willing to lower the notability threshold accordingly. But we can't lower this threshold to zero.

Reviewed under NPP. No indication of wp:notability under GNG or SNG. I'm normally pretty lenient on military unit articles because they tend to be very enclyclopedic but IMO this one is pretty far out there. Content is basically just "it exists" plus a note of participation sourced to a Twitter/X page. Other than the Twitter/X page one is just a government gazette to support a "mentioned in a dispatch" statement and a stamp page to support a gun type and founding date sentence.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, The Herald (Benison) (talk) 18:06, 10 March 2024 (UTC)- Keep I’m not convinced that more exhaustive searches wouldn’t demonstrate notability. For example, there are a lot of regional/local newspapers in India and a lot of them aren’t indexed or even on the web.
- That said, the article is rather stubby compared to other “Regiments” (battalions) of the Indian Artillery.
- But I think the best course of action would be to let it sit for months to years and see if it gets expanded.
- I strongly suspect this is a case of non-searchable SIGCOV being assumed not to exist i.e. WP:BIAS. Indian Army units don’t have the same Web footprint as American or British ones. Just how it is.

- Keep per sources above which show notability. GiantSnowman 22:08, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Fails GNG. Sources above are routine match reports, routine contract signings and refbombing an alleged animal cruelty incident. Quero doesn't pass WP:CRIME either and it's UNDUE to focus on such a negative event. (Was he ever convicted?). The sources in the article aren't any better. Dougal18 (talk) 11:35, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- While the coverage of the animal cruelty incident is most likely the first thing people will see about Quero when searching for sources, this does not detract from the fact that he is a professional footballer with a modest (but sufficient for GNG) amount of coverage. I've improved the article since the AfD was started, and I'll review the sources I've added here:
- La Vinotinto - Coverage of the beginning of Quero's career in Venezuela, talking about his breakthrough into the first team and including quotes from an interview conducted.
- Táchira - Again talking of his early career, and his potential as a young player to represent his nation at under-20 level - includes quotes again, as well as information regarding his early life.
- Liga FUTVE - Perhaps a primary source, but a pretty comprehensive article on Quero and his time with Falcón, again including quotes from the player.
- These three sources covering his career, as well as a number covering the animal cruelty case, should be enough to satisfy GNG. Davidlofgren1996 (talk) 13:40, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- ligafutve is the official website for a league Quero played in and is not independent. tachira.gob.ve is a government site so I don't know how reliable it is. lavinotinto is nowhere near enough for a GNG pass. Dougal18 (talk) 14:53, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- Only speaking about the animal cruelty: Quero published the incident on social media, it is the reason why he was expelled from the league and he apologized for it. He hasn't denied or excused himself for it, so I'm not sure if there's another side of the story that casts doubts on what happened. --NoonIcarus (talk) 09:58, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Unnecessary disambiguation page. It seems that the Michigan-based Trinity Health is clearly the primary topic, as they are a massive system spanning half the country with 120,000 employees, whereas the North Dakota-based Trinity Health is a small local system primarily located in one town. I propose that Trinity Health (Livonia, Michigan) be moved to Trinity Health and that a hatnote be added linking to Trinity Health (Minot, North Dakota). With that hatnote, this disambiguation page would become unnecessary and thus can be deleted. IagoQnsi (talk) 17:47, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

The correct place for the discussion is at the Move discussion on Talk:Trinity Health (Livonia, Michigan)#Requested move 10 March 2024: if there is agreement for the article to be moved, it will become the primary topic and the dab page will be unnecessary. (There's the added complication of the proposed move at Talk:Mercy Health (Michigan)#Requested move 10 March 2024, where the proposed new title of Trinity Health Michigan would probably merit inclusion in a dab page, or at least a hatnote ...).

Candace has helped many people around the world with a message of power, strength, and belief in one's self. Her message of "never dim your light for anyone" resonated with a friend of mine who needed to hear that message. Candace's roles in movies promotes a strong woman in the midst of overcoming obstacles, and becoming better because of it.

- Should be kept regardless of if her name shows up in some arbitrary list. FrostSpider (talk) 00:38, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- She actually was a notable performer. Let's be blunt about a couple of things. I'm sure there are scores of notable performers in the adult film industry that don't have pages because someone might be afraid to suggest creating one. They don't want to open themselves up to be called names for suggesting one. Second, she's more notable that a lot of names I see pop up on the recent passings page. I've seen countless regional TV and Radio host appear on the page, as well as many very obscure political figures from overseas. Some of who even Alexa could not find information on. Trust me, you delete Sophia's page, and I and others could recommend close to 5,000 pages on here for deletion. Sportsfan1976 I'm only here because I'm not currently somewhere else. (talk) 12:39, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- The fallacy I detect here by the pro-delete crowd is that she is notable due to her death - this is factually untrue and seems to miss the one-event stipulation's purpose. She did in fact receive massive coverage mainly after her death, but this coverage was based on many notable events throughout her life (on one major adult site, she is mentioned in numerous articles over the years). I also read the notability guidelines with regard to celebrities, and as a performer with over 100 films, in addition to the media coverage and her social media influence, she seems at minimum on the border of notability. Given that she now has an article from People magazine, I believe this crosses over into notability. I also note the growing number of objections to deletion on this page.

- I added Complex and Parade Magazine. These are fairly reputable sources. Yellowbear48 (talk) 06:30, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Upon re-reading this comment, whether conscious or unconscious, there is condescension regarding the profession of the performer (note the wording "most porn performers"). Notability is not decided by the moral views of editors. This is not meant as an attack on the editor - I merely note that the career-choice of the performer appears to be influencing some editors. Yellowbear48 (talk) 07:21, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm rather shocked she didn't have a page, considering she was one of the top performers in adult films in adult films in the late 2010's and very a brief time, was one of the top paid. The fact she didn't have one while she was alive was clearly an oversight. I say we keep her page and flesh it out better.

- Keep. I did some quick digging on Sophia, and in addition to her extensive adult career, covered by significant news sources, she was a social media influencer with over 100,000 followers on Twitter and 300,000 followers on Instagram.

WP:BLP of a musician, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The strongest notability claim here is a nomination for a specialty music award, which would be fine to mention if the article were properly sourced but is not top-level enough to constitute an automatic pass of NMUSIC #8 on bad sourcing -- but the article is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability, with not even one reliable or GNG-building source shown at all.
There was, additionally, a completely unreferenced article about his band, which basically made no other notability claims at all besides this guy being in it, so I've redirected that to the BLP as well -- and I would also note that there isn't a single inbound link to this article from any other Wikipedia article: the redirects from the band and one of his album titles are the only inbound links leading to this, and until I unlinked them as recursive redirects just now this article was the only inbound link leading to the band or the album title either, so these three titles are essentially creating a self-contained walled garden.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him or his band from having to have much better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 14:42, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

This is a pure piece of WP:OR, poorly sourced to novels, short stories, games and like. While it is plausible the topic could be notable, given the ORish state of this, nothing here is rescuable; 80% of the article is a plot summary for Lensman series, and the remainder 20% is unsourced OR in the WP:IPC-failing style of "this term also appears in the following random works". WP:TNT treatment is advised, although WP:ATD-R allows for a less drastic solution of redirecting this to Space travel in science fiction where the term is mentioned.

- I’m obviously biased, since I was the first contributor, but “a pure piece of WP:OR, poorly sourced” is clearly incorrect: The first two footnotes are uncontroversially secondary research, and there are nine other footnotes, which I think is above average for a Wikipedia article of this length. I can’t speak to the quality of citations by other contributors, but would welcome specific corrections.

- —FlashSheridan (talk) 19:39, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- There are 325 pages that transclude Template:Science fiction, which includes a link to inertialess drive, so the numbers for links to the latter are almost certainly heavily inflated by that (some pages may of course transclude the template and include a separate link to this article). TompaDompa (talk) 19:53, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- FlashSheridan, could you perhaps elaborate upon what you are referring to when you speak of secondary research here? I am a bit confused by the article itself in terms of what's in-universe and what's real-world. TompaDompa (talk) 20:03, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- > could you perhaps elaborate upon what you are referring to when you speak of secondary research here?
- Citations to “The Epic of Space,” page 84, in Of Worlds Beyond, 1947, and to Samuel Lawrence Bigelow’s Theoretical and Physical Chemistry. Of Worlds Beyond was quite important in the intellectual history of early science fiction, and I dare say most readers have been puzzled by Dr Smith’s reference.
- > I am a bit confused by the article itself in terms of what's in-universe and what's real-world.
- That’s fair criticism, and I’d be happy to fix it.
- — FlashSheridan (talk) 20:48, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- If I have that right, the article cites E. E. Smith's essay from Of Worlds Beyond (1947) to verify that Samuel Lawrence Bigelow's Theoretical and Physical Chemistry (1912) was the first mention of an inertialess drive? And this is real-world background information for what follows, which is all in-universe? TompaDompa (talk) 21:00, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Alright, so I was able to access Of Worlds Beyond via the Internet Archive. The relevant passage on page 84 is
I would not use mathematically impossible mechanics, such as that too-often-revived monstrosity of a second satellite hiding eternally from Earth behind the moon. Since the inertia of matter made it impossible for even atomic energy to accelerate a space-ship to the velocity I had to have, I would have to do away with inertia. Was there any mathematical or philosophical possibility, however slight, that matter could exist without inertia? There was—I finally found it in no less an authority than Bigelow (Theoretical Chemistry—Fundamentals). Einstein's Theory of course denies that matter can attain such velocities, but that did not bother me at all. It is still a theory—velocities greater than that of light are not absolutely mathematically impossible. That is enough for me. In fact, the more highly improbable a concept is—short of being contrary to mathematics whose fundamental operations involve no neglect of infinitesimals—the better I like it.
So Smith does not actually say that Bigelow was the first one to propose inertialess travel, only that that's where he (Smith) got the idea from. I hardly think we can call this secondary research, contrary to your assertion that it is uncontroversially so. We're citing Smith about where Smith got inspiration for a story Smith wrote, in a passage describing that story by Smith. Combine this with the WP:Writing about fiction issues present here and the fact that the article otherwise relies entirely on the primary literature (i.e. the works of fiction themselves), and I think the description of the article in the nomination is rather apt. TompaDompa (talk) 21:19, 10 March 2024 (UTC)- > So Smith does not actually say that Bigelow was the first one to propose inertialess travel, only that that's where he (Smith) got the idea from.
- Fair point; the absence of contrary evidence is of course not conclusive, though for an intellectual history it is rather suggestive. Happy to make the correction.
- > We're citing Smith about where Smith got inspiration for a story Smith wrote, in a passage describing that story by Smith.
- Yes, in one of the key early books on the intellectual history of science fiction (admittedly rather a recondite area). Citing that didn’t seem like original research to me.
- —FlashSheridan (talk) 22:11, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- It's not original research, but getting it straight from the horse's mouth is not exactly secondary research either, now is it? This entire article relies on WP:Primary sources, in violation of policy. TompaDompa (talk) 22:22, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- The article was published in a volume edited by someone else, as close as existed at the time to a scholarly publication on the subject. (One of the few available, in my experience, in ordinary bookshops, even decades later.) As I recall (from the few times I’ve done it myself), this would have allowed Dr Smith himself to cite it, so it seems odd for you to forbid someone else to rely on it.
- —FlashSheridan (talk) 01:11, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- You may think it odd, but remember that there are significant differences between Wikipedia and scholarly sources. Scholarly sources encourage original thought, while WP:Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Scholarly sources largely prefer primary sources, while Wikipedia largely prefers secondary sources. And so on. Mind you that the only sentence in the entire article that (1) is referenced (2) to something other than a work of fiction is
The possibility of inertialess travel was first suggested in Theoretical and Physical Chemistry, published in 1912 by the Tellurian chemist Samuel Lawrence Bigelow, an alumnus of Harvard.
—and the sources there are Of Worlds Beyond (discussed above; I'll also note for the record that the note Piotrus alludes to below reads, in its entirety,"The Epic of Space," page 84, in Of Worlds Beyond, 1947. Dr. Smith gives the title as Theoretical Chemistry–Fundamentals, and provides only a last name. Given the other errors in “The Epic of Space,” e.g., “Trweel” for “Tweel” on page 80, the misspelling of “Constantinescu” on page 84, and, arguably, E. E. Evan's analysis of Triplanetary on page 87, the error does not seem implausible.
), a library entry to verify the year of publication for Theoretical and Physical Chemistry, and a webpage that appears to get its information from Ancestry.com (at least, the webpage states at the bottom thatRootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com and our loyal RootsWeb community.
), a WP:Generally unreliable source per WP:ANCESTRY.COM, to verify that Bigelow went to Harvard. The rest either lacks any kind of source at all or relies improperly on the works of fiction themselves. TompaDompa (talk) 08:51, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

- —FlashSheridan (talk) 20:52, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Key words: "better sources". As opposed to: WP:OR. PS. TompaDompa already explained it in detail above. It is quite possible we can add a sentene or two to the "Space travel..." article, based on secondary sources. And for the record, there will be no red links to fix - per the nom, there should be no hard deletion, just redirection (due to this failing WP:GNG, in particular, SIGCOV requirement). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:57, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- And one more reply: it does not - and why should it? Those works are not mentioned in the nominated article outside a confusing footnote. And that footnote is very ORish, ex. "Given the other errors in...". Who says there were errors, and how is this relevant to the article? I am sorry, but I did say this is a "mess" and it needs a WP:TNT treatment, and I stand by this assessment. What was passable in 2006 is very much not so in 2024. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:03, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. I'm very new here, so I'm not sure my opinion matters, and I'm probably going to make a mess out of the formatting expectations for this process because yikes. There do seem to be some sources that discuss this as a trope with value to the craft of science-fiction storytelling. I found a book that confirms Triplanetary as the first use and describes the trope as a means to end-run physics and allow galactic-scale storytelling (Gunn, James. Alternate Worlds: The Illustrated History of Science Fiction (3rd ed.). McFarland. p. 134. ISBN 978-1-4766-7353-0.). Paul Gilster is a fairly respected space technology writer who also describes the fictional history of the concept, including precursors to Triplanetary. and it's real-world futurist applications or likely, lack thereof (Gilster, Paul (2004). Centauri Dreams: Imagining and Planning Interstellar Exploration. Springer. ISBN 978-1-4419-1818-5.). I don't have access to this, but Google suggests some relevancy. There's also a lot of ufology nonsense about the topic, which I'm sure isn't enough to actually make a topic a thing but is... maybe worth noting in an article with wider context? It's a fictional element either way, after all. Lubal (talk) 20:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Welcome to Wikipedia in general and WP:Articles for deletion in particular. Being new in no way makes your input less valid/relevant/important. I took a look at those sources. Gunn makes a rather brief mention of inertialess drives on pp. 134–135. I would characterize that as a passing mention falling short of WP:Significant coverage of the topic (Gunn doesn't discuss the concept, he merely mentions it in the context of Smith's fiction). Gilster similarly briefly mentions inertialess drives on pp. 173–174. When it comes to your last source, searching for "inertialess" on Google Books gives me no results. So it does not appear to me that those sources would be a sufficient foundation for an article on this topic, though they may be useful for other articles on related topics. TompaDompa (talk) 21:09, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Re: That third source. That's... interesting, because Google gave me this snippet: "Some early SF writers posited a hypothetical “inertialess drive”, which was capable of reducing a spacecraft’s mass to zero and hence neutralizing its resistance to acceleration. Such..." No idea as to further context; like I said, I don't have access to that one. And I certainly don't understand how Google handles searching/snippeting of otherwise "unavailable" text. Otherwise, is there a bright-line rule on what constitutes passing mention? Gilster, in particular, seems to give the topic a couple of paragraphs of attention in the context of fictional elements that some people hope might not be completely impossible (that cited footnote from Arthur C. Clarke might also be worth scaring up). On the other hand, the whole "ZPF might let us delete inertia" thing, Clarke included, is about six inches short of total nonsense, so while I think this is more than a "passing mention," I also don't think it's a source I'd want to hang my hat on. Lubal (talk) 21:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- That is indeed peculiar, though Google is of course known to be fickle at times. Alright: looking into it a bit more (i.e. checking a PDF of the book instead of the Google Books page), it turns out that the book says
Some early SF writers posited a hypothetical "inertialess drive", which was capable of reducing a spacecraft's mass to zero and hence neutralizing its resistance to acceleration. Such drives appear in the novel Triplanetary by E. E. Smith, originally serialized in Amazing Stories in 1934, and in Kenneth Robeson's "The Secret in the Sky" from the May 1935 issue of Doc Savage magazine. These early treatments of inertialess drives assume that nullifying an object's mass would make it easier to accelerate and manoeuvre. That would be true if the inertial mass was reduced substantially, but not all the way to zero.
on page 112 (annoyingly, Google lets me preview page 111 and 113, but not 112...). This, however, seems to be the only mention in the book.As to your question about whether there is a bright-line rule: not really, it comes down to editorial judgment. To quote myself from a 2021 AfD discussion:
A pretty good starting point, in my opinion, is the following passage from WP:WHYN:what WP:SIGCOV says is
"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
There does not exist any general consensus about where to draw the line, so we judge it case-by-case. Some editors focus on length of coverage; a cut-off of WP:One hundred words has been suggested. Some editors focus on breadth of coverage. Some editors focus on depth of coverage.We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic. If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page, but should instead be merged into an article about a larger topic or relevant list.
TompaDompa (talk) 21:41, 12 March 2024 (UTC)- Indeed. Which is why we ma want to consdier if we could add a short paragraph based on these sources to Space travel... ? It is a Good Article, and we cannot bloat it with fancrufty plot description and ORish examples, but the sources we found likely lend themselves to a sentence or two. What do you think?

- I'm not sure if it changes anything. I agree that most of the sources discussing this topic don't individually have a lot to say about it, but there are quite a few sources that say something, and they aren't saying the same thing. I took a shot at workshopping what this might look like if we were going to rewrite it entirely and then keep it. It's at User:Lubal/Inertialess. Separately, there's another article at inertia negation that probably more or less overlaps this topic and is arguably even worse. That one might need to be redirected or deleted, too.

It is not a requirement for notability...". Besides, the article was not independent of the subject. So fails all WP: ATHLETE. From another perspective, the article clearly lack sourcing and much can't be related from the Internet. Hence, it fails WP: GNG. Otuọcha (talk) 04:06, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Procedural nomination per this discussion at RfD. Article was created in 2011 and then BLARred in 2014.

- No serious disagreement here, my "attempt at restoring the article" was just to undo the redirect and restore the previous version of the article, after having followed a CyberEmotions wikilink that took me to a page that didn't explain the term. No view from me either way on whether the article should exist. Belbury (talk) 09:50, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - The previous AfD had two keep !votes, but neither specified any policy reason for keeping the article. There was no source discussion and the only nod to notability was that it had "big players" in the project. But it was, nevertheless, just a research project that seems to have no lasting notability. Research outputs would be primary sources, but, in fact, could be useful in articles that talk about notable subjects for which these are relevant. For instance Sentiment in Twitter events would be interesting in something on the Oscars, or Twitter, or an article about group dynamics. Those notable subjects are not the project itself. Redirect would be fine if there were agreement on a redirect target, but failing that, this should be deleted. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:20, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Run of the mill research project. 40 participants sounds impressive, as does the list of the organisations where they work, but a standard NIH grant to a single investigator usually runs up to a million $$ for 4 years. The EU grant contrasts rather paltry with that: 3.6 million Euros (augmented with existing funding 4.6 million) for 4 years for those 40 investigators. Usually these consortia are ephemeral and CyberEmotions is no exception. It was closed in January 2013 and has disappeared without much trace since. Of course, notability is not temporary, but almost all of the references present in the article date back to when the project wa active and none are the in-depth independent sources required for GNG. Some don't even mention this project at all (e.g. ref 4), which is all too common in this kind of drummed up promotional "articles". Note that one of the conditions to obtain EU funding id to publicize the project and its funding sources as much as possible, and WP is then an obvious target. --Randykitty (talk) 15:45, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep and I am surprised this article was even nominated for deletion. The second and third paragraphs of the introduction clearly establish notability. This is a notable local government election in Australian history, one that has attracted both specific studies by historians (Martin Mowbray's article in the leading journal Labour History, which is cited in the article) and observation in larger studies of the CPA. Stuart Macintyre in The Party frames his discussion of the CPA's local government efforts around its 1944 success in Kearsley (pp.155–156). J.D. Playford's PhD thesis, "Doctrinal and Strategic Problems of the Communist Party of Australia, 1945-1962" (ANU, 1962) suggests that the support the CPA secured in Kearsley and other municipalities influenced its postwar electoral strategy and objectives (pp.30–31). I also do not see the relevance of Kearsley not being a capital city LGA; much of note in Australian politics has occurred beyond capital cities and we should not encourage a capital-centric attitude. My recommendation, far from deletion, is expansion: there is plenty more to say about this unusual and notable result. Axver (talk) 00:14, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Not only did this election end with a controversial result (the election of a handful of communist party members (5/8 seats) - the most in any local election, leading to a government majority), but there was ample coverage, and an indication of lasting effects. Trainsskyscrapers (talk) 3:06, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Credited to Page and John Paul Jones, this gave Jones a chance to show off his abilities on the church organ, while Page made use of a Fender pedal steel guitar. Played on the band's early dates in Scandinavia, the song was later dropped from the show. Jones uses bass pedals on the organ to fill out the sound, until Plant begins to protest at the woeful lack of courtesy shown by the modern girl. "Lying, cheating, hurting, that's all you ever seem to do," he grumbles. But although she drives him insane, one day her time is gonna come and she'll find him gone. The pedal steel that Page uses is slightly out of tune, which adds to the strangely plaintive air that persists until Bonham's sternly bashing drums bring a sense of direction to the final chorus. Part of this song was sometimes used on the band's 'Whole Lotta Love' medley.

Only "Your Time Is Gonna Come" is not known to have been performed live during that period, probably because it requires an organ, an instrument to which John Paul Jones did not have access during concerts until later. Jason Bonham has said that the song's bright and cathedral-like organ prelude- -which he heard on a record player at his house as a child was one of his earliest memories, and made him curious about music before he finally understood that it was his father's profession. Here, Plant croons a vengeful lyric over a pastoral riff played mainly on acoustic guitar with occasional add-ins from Page on electric lap steel, an instrument he might have been fiddling with for the very first time. Page was, after all, a guy who'd joined the Yardbirds not as a guitarist but as a bassist- and he'd never played bass before, either! No portion of the lyrics to "Your Time Is Gonna Come" has been traced to any previous sources, but if Plant was the lyricist, the writing credits don't reflect it.

Segues from Dazed And Confused with a keyboard sound that although used sparingly by John Paul Jones was to become very much a Led Zeppelin sound. Nice gentle guitar from Jimmy gives this song a lovely feel. Along with Black Mountain side this track gives a nice respite from some rather exciting and heavy tracks now the album is on CD. In the days of vinyl of course this was a gentle (ish) start to side two.
- Shadwick, Keith (2005). Led Zeppelin : the story of a band and their music : 1968-1980. San Francisco : Backbeat Books. p. 52. ISBN 978-0-87930-871-1.
On today's CD versions it segues into the following track, 'Your Time Is Gonna Come', as it had from 'You Shook Me'. Considering Page's close involvement in all things Zeppelin up to the present day, one can only assume that this unbroken movement of songs is intended. Certainly the César Franck-chorale-like organ intro to 'Your Time' (played by Jones) is in the same key in which 'Dazed' concludes, so it may well have been the original intention, thwarted by the time limitations of vinyl at the time. When Jones makes the transition into the riff of Your Time Is Gonna Come', the tune's roots are laid bare. The verse's structure is very close to 'Hey Joe', as performed by Jimi Hendrix, down to the detail of the cadential guitar tag. Plant's vocal follows a different route to 'Hey Joe', although the lyrics have a similar message about women paid back for alleged wrongdoings to long-suffering lovers. The song, another Page composition, is undistinguished, with a hackneyed chorus that even Page's arranging skills can't mask. He uses pedal-steel guitar for the first time in a studio, but by his own later admission it is out of tune. The song does however give Plant the opportunity to deliver an entire song without having to resort to screeching, and he does well.

- Comment. I won't go straight keep since that would start a discussion (not shying away, just feeling I woulnd't have the time to reply/ research properly), but I'm inclined to point out that science fiction (and fiction in general) has developed a plethora of political ideas that are unique and not seen in the real world, and at least some of these merit encyclopedic entries to whatever extent. And this need not necessarily be political science fiction, it's just fiction that describes a specific political system. For instance, right now I'm going through the Shadowmarch tetralogy, and while it's not in the least political science fiction, it goes into fine detail about systems of the lands and monarchies presented there. --Ouro (blah blah) 14:00, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to List of radio stations in South Carolina: it appears to have ended up here because of an objection to a previous redirect to WBPB, a station this station was previously a simulcast of but continued its previous programming after WBPB was sold. In the absence of any evidence of independent notability (at least on the surface, this seems to be a relatively run-of-the-mill religious station), the correct solution would have been to retarget as an {{R to list entry}}. (This is a clear case where an article would have been more likely to persist under the looser "guidelines" of 15 years ago that declared all FCC-licensed stations "notable", but a 2021 RfC revealed there was no consensus for media entities having any looser guidelines than GNG (much less NCORP).)
