The result was Speedy keep; no realistic prospect of deletions. Additionally, I'm going to remove the "oldest person in the world" part from WP:PEOPLEOUTCOMES, as we've had three successive such biographies survive AfD (hence, it can't really be described as a common outcome) and there's a general recognition that the oldest person in the world should, generally, pass GNG (non-admin closure).

• Keep. That is a very notable property. We must watch this article as long as she's alive. Georgia guy (talk) 00:14, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Georgia guy: I understand your viewpoint regarding being notable for being the oldest living person in the world. As an encyclopedia, we should be aiming towards long term usage. There will likely be a new oldest living person in the years ahead. We don't have an article for everyone who has held the title of oldest living person and there is a reasonable chance it would not survive a future AfD even if this article does survive AfD. I think we should wait until she lives to a certain age before recreating the article. Interstellarity (talk) 00:20, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Unless it's proven someone else is the oldest person, she deserves her article. Sir Jack Hopkins (talk) 00:17, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that being the oldest living person gives the subject enough notoriety to warrant a Wikipedia article. Many other people who are notable almost entirely for their longevity also have their own Wikipedia page. If the subject did die today, being the oldest living person for less than a day is surely very notable and exceptional in and of itself! I do agree that the the page requires expansion and an overhaul as I’m concerned that some of the little information within the article is inaccurate. JackTaylor6464 (talk) 00:20, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep She is the oldest, and even if she dies, we should still keep the article in her honor, as we do with other supercentenarians. Taiwanexplorer36051 (talk) 14:45, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:

The closest in history according to oldest people is four days, unless proven otherwise.

Other hand; Keep Although some previous longest living people in the list don't have articles, the last few Kane Tanaka, Lucile Randon, Nabi Tajima had either a page or a redirect. And I think I saw an article about María Branyas Morera that was recent, following the passing of Lucile Randon. We can also use the GRG as a source for some basic info, like birthdate confirmation, age, so on, just to be safe. The article appears to be decent now that I don't think it can be straight up deleted with the sources found now.

Edit: Found the article: https://www.catalannews.com/society-science/item/catalonias-maria-branyas-becomes-oldest-living-person-on-earth-at-115. Its got some info and it even mentioned a interview done in 2019. That, plus anything else, could be enough.

Comment Now, i'm not just gonna go ahead and say "Oh, she's the oldest living person in the world. That means she must have an article" even though I do agree. After all, she would still need some coverage from reliable sources and have to follow the WP:GNG guidelines. What I feel must happen is that we need to wait first. She just became the oldest living person today. Extensive coverage will hopefully come throughout the week as people start to look into her after she becomes the oldest living person. Plus, " If she were to die today, I don't think it would survive an AfD." is not a convincing argument. You have no idea is she will die today or if she will live for another 8 months like Lucile Randon. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:37, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment For all those that claim that "being the oldest living person is notable" note that three such women failed Afd and and the articles were redirected to a list, and of those only one had sufficient information for a mini bio. Unless the article reaches the stage where it passes WP:NOPAGE/WP:PERMASTUB then a stand-alone article is not justified. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 01:19, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  WRONG! Not only is there no such precedent for "oldest person" having an article by right, 3 recent oldest people do NOT have articles (as well as many earlier such persons). DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 06:50, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Regarding this argument, please see WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST. Peaceray (talk) 19:31, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Not actually the point. The IP (and others) have argued that being the oldest should automatically qualify someone for an article, which is incorrect as being the oldest does NOT automatically pass WP:N. For a stand-alone article to be justified for someone who is the oldest person there needs to be sufficient coverage to pass WP:GNG and sufficient content in the article to pass WP:NOPAGE and WP:PERMASTUB. Most of this is included in WP:LONGEVITY (which some contributors here may not have read). DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 20:50, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Conditional merge to List of the oldest living people: As a guideline rule of thumb, oldest-living people explicitly fail WP:PEOPLEOUTCOMES:

Articles about people known only for being the oldest person in the world, in a country, etc., at any given time are normally redirected or merged to a list of oldest people.

The article currently has nothing to say about Branyas Morera except for her being the oldest person in the world: there's nothing about her career, her personal life, etc.. Unless more sources can be found to say anything more substantial that merits an article in its own right rather than a few sentences in that list (though I suspect such sources exist), merge per WP:PEOPLEOUTCOMES. _MB190417_ (talk) 12:36, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comment: I agree with @DerbyCountyinNZ per WP:PERMASTUB (effectively, my comment above is to merge if WP:PERMASTUB is met). But, as per @Onegreatjoke, we should probably hold off such assessment for now as we can expect more coverage over the coming days.

Additionally, I find it bizarre how many editors in this discussion have assumed notability is inherent/precedented here, when WP:PEOPLEOUTCOMES is very clear that it is not. _MB190417_ (talk) 13:50, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

“This page is not a policy or guideline, and previous outcomes do not bind future ones,” - WP:PEOPLEOUTCOMES. It is important to read what you cite thoroughly. ShuffleboardJerk (talk) 15:45, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I meant 'guideline' in the informal sense of 'rule of thumb'. The 'normally' of course precludes any definitive recommendation anyway, and Wikipedia doesn't work on precedent. But my point in citing WP:PEOPLEOUTCOMES was to show the precedent/assumed notability that other editors cite simply doesn't exist, and a merge is common for such articles if they are short. I didn't appreciate the suggestion that I don't read thoroughly. _MB190417_ (talk) 15:54, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (change of recommendation). The article now exceeds the few sentences it did at the time of the AfD nomination, and includes significant coverage in the popular press of Branyas Morera's life (some of which predates today). In time the article may well be nominated again for deletion as WP:RECENTISM, but for now, notability and significant coverage are both established. I have struck through my original recommendation, but kept the note of WP:PEOPLEOUTCOMES, which I stand by. _MB190417_ (talk) 17:42, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Being the oldest living person is sufficient for notability. I don't think these are valid grounds for removal. Many people listed in Oldest people have articles of their own. RisingTzar (talk) 13:08, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:

There's a parallel with a problem in set theory, which runs: 'in the set of uninteresting whole numbers, one number will be the smallest. It therefore becomes interesting as it is the smallest uninteresting number.'

• Comment: I saw that the previous record holder died, I went to the page of the next one, and saw that it was afd. This is something people want to know... I would assume that this is one of the fundamental purposes of an encyclopedia. 2600:6C4E:1200:1E85:EC4B:413:D10F:95C6 (talk) 14:46, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Even if she were to die today it would not alter the fact that she was once the oldest living human being, which is a good enough reason to establish notability IMO. Keivan.f^Talk 18:13, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Has the required notability as she became the oldest living person yesterday. Ardije (talk) 19:03, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Just being the oldest living person means she now meets WP:BASIC. Even WP:SINGLEEVENT states that If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. Perhaps it is time to drop the stick & realize the snow ball clause applies to any notion of deletion. Peaceray (talk) 19:28, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Oldest person alive merits their own wiki article. --38.106.246.197 (talk) 21:26, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. There is plenty of coverage of her and her longevity to warrant her own article. Any given "world's oldest person" gets coverage and attention for such a circumstance from reputable sources, regardless of if they are independently notable; this is especially true when the world's previous verified oldest person dies. The exceptional qualities from a longevity standpoint of a person who becomes the world's oldest living individual is guaranteed to be given attention, speculation, and interest from many vantages. Therefore, for any given person who has been verified as the world's oldest living person at any given time, I do not see any reason to delete such pages unless if interest and coverage wanes and the "world's oldest living person" title loses its curiosity to become irrelevant. And such a possibility is not relevant to the circumstances of María Branyas Morena, whose article I cannot justify nor conceive as something to be deleted from Wikipedia. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 22:06, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and change the common outcomes to exclude world's oldest person -- oldest person in a country, oldest person to do X, etc. are likely redirect candidates, but as far as I can remember, everyone who was once the world's oldest person got obits in major news outlets. The news outlets considered the person notable enough and they provide enough verified information to write an article. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 22:20, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - call me contrarian, but I don't think that it's irredeemable. In fact, there are plenty of reliable sources that show significant coverage. The style is poorly worded, to be charitable, and parts of the article are synthesis. Overall, I don't see problems that can't be fixed by ordinary editing systems. 15:10, 13 January 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bearian (talk • contribs)

• While this may be true, I would at least like to note that the best way of going about recreating the article would be to WP:BLOWITUP so it may as well be deleted anyway as the first step to that. QuietHere (talk) 01:21, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I agree that the article is in bad shape and there are issues in tone, sourcing, and neutrality. I also agree with User:Bearian regarding the article's redeemability and the notability of the subject matter. What do we think of Draftifying it? Additionally, we have Stereotypes of Hispanic and Latino Americans in the United States, although I don't think there's enough proper material in the nominated article for a merge. Mooonswimmer 14:32, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Whatever is fine as long as it gets out of mainspace. I doubt someone would want to work on it, though. Why? I Ask (talk) 14:54, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When recommending to Draftify, we have to consider who would improve the article after that is done. The creator and early contributors to this article were part of a special school project 7 years ago and have long since moved on, and the article's history since then consists mostly of minor cosmetic changes and typo fixes. Having an article sit in the Draft system with no progress in sight isn't really much better than just deleting the whole thing. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:13, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I feel like I must repeat myself: first, substantively, she's just not notable; short film producers are dime a dozen. Secondly, I am strongly opposed to autobiographies on Wikipedia. In 2007, that could have been excused, but in 2022, it's untenable to try to sneak in a social media page masquerading as an encyclopedia article, as everyone knows what Wikipedia is and is not. To be blunt, it's theft of our services and gaslighting. Tagging DGG.

Sprawling list of broadcasters for the World Cup that is mostly unreferenced. Broadcasters for an individual WC may be notable and discussed but not as a whole. We already have articles for individual World Cups: 2006, 2014, 2022, etc . This article seems like excessive information that is not encyclopedic for Wikipedia.

The sources in the article seem legitimate and include coverage in Blic [4], NBC Florida [5] and Huffington Post [6]. Now, this is all borderline, and Aquabike World Championship (powerboating) is a niche discipline, but his medals there are legit [7], as can be verified by other sources.

Delete per nom. Dawkin Verbier (talk) 03:14, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: As not notable. Any perceived notability is created by self promotion. The subject's name appears to be Sujan Dass. Pseudonyms such as "Supreme Understanding", are not uncommon but adding things such as "Dr. Supreme Understanding" become an indirect conflict of interest when an article is created using primary sources and potential reliable sources, such as "FinalCall.com News", and even a source that might shed light on claims the subject was awarded a Japan-Fulbright Memorial Fund Scholarship, and was named "Teacher of the Year" are dead links. The subject's "Writing style" is questioned in the article, although as unsupported original research, with "This style is curious, given his claims about his own higher education". A claim of being a doctor should be sourced. The subject is the owner of Supreme Design Publishing] thus allowing the promotion of the books and name.

• Delete. I don't see how this person passes WP:GNG in any way. There is not a single reliable source independent of the subject. Even if it is not autobiography, there is zero evidence this passes GNG. Bearian (talk) 20:00, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This entire article is dedicated to a single source. More verification is not possible because the entire premise of the article is based on what Demographia deems important.

The single source is a private company that appears to be the output of a single person. There's no evidence of peer review, or any kind of editorial oversight that makes a good secondary source.

The question still remains as to whether or not the Alliance itself is independently notable.

The three reliable sources cited above discuss the members of the IALP as a class, WP:NLIST: "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". The NZZ piece I cannot see in full as it is behind a paywall, but the Contrepoint piece and article by Matuszek are clearly SIGCOV, so there's a pass of the GNG for the list topic.

Since a lot of the fork (lead and results tables) can be discarded, and the remainder would replace the bulk of the main article anyway, the final product should still be within the acceptable size range described in the WP:SIZERULE. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 02:17, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Nothing to merge that isn't already covered in the parent article, except for useless, bloated WP:FANCRUFT which shouldn't be merged anyway such as lines like "Alonso visited the team's factory in Enstone during pre-season for a seat fitting to feel comfortable in the R25.[43] He felt the more powerful and driveable car was more constant over a long period of time and that it had improved braking and stability.[44] The media considered Renault the pre-season favourites to win the championship and predicted a closely fought duel between Alonso and his teammate Giancarlo Fisichella.[45] Alonso said he entered the year in a positive mood and push hard and enjoy racing.[46]" - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" ^{(work / talk)} 13:43, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• First preference is to keep and then completely gut the relevant sections from the parent article instead leaving just the link to this article. I think that Alonso's article is long enough as it is. Second preference is to merge most of the non-formula 1 content, in particular Endurance racing career, IndyCar Series and Off-road racing which aren't covered in enough detail in the main article (I tend to agree with the above that some of the F1 coverage of this article needs to be trimmed). A7V2 (talk) 23:17, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  The IndyCar section also contains excessively detailed WP:FANCRUFT that should not be merged, such as "Alonso was mentored by the 2003 Indianapolis 500 winner Gil de Ferran,[216] and Michael Andretti was his strategist.[217] He visited Andretti Autosport's headquarters in Indianapolis on 24 April for a seat fitting. Alonso was acquainted with his race engineer and Andretti Autosports technical director Eric Bretzman and the crew chief Dave Popielarz.[218] He then spent time in Honda Performance Development's oval simulator under the supervision of De Ferran to prepare for the race.[217]" - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" ^{(work / talk)} 14:32, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I first saw this article when I was googling Alan C. Peterson, which I thought he had a Wikipedia page, since I saw the name, Alan Peterson in it, only to see a disambiguation of the page. Among the highlighted ones is a page about an American ornithologist and taxonomist who happens to have the same name, which I clicked, only to find it a stub.

• Delete. Being a stub is not a valid deletion rationale but the stub makes no case for notability so we will have to look elsewhere for that. Google Scholar search for his name (skipping off-topic articles likely by others with similar names) found six publications, two of which have single-digit citations and the rest of which have none. Searching for "zoonomen" worked better but still found a max of 22 citations, the rest single-digit. That is far below WP:PROF#C1 levels even in a very low citation field. Web searching finds him responsible for a web taxonomy resource, but otherwise an amateur. Being an amateur is not in any way a bad thing but it means none of the other avenues for PROF notability are open. That leaves GNG, but I couldn't find enough coverage for notability for his web site, let along enough for inherited notability for him. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:22, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Eighth Doctor Adventures, the article on the book series it was part of, where it is already listed. I found a one-sentence mention of it in this book, and that was about it outside of fansites and simple listings of Dr. Who products. There is an article on the actual book series it was part of, though, so redirecting there would be reasonable. Rorshacma (talk) 16:44, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• That first source from Contiuum is definitely an in-depth review of the book. I am hesitant to change my recommendation per WP:NBOOK without someone having access to the Interzone article, though, to ensure it is actually a full-length review, and not something more akin to the BBC source you also added to the article, which is more of a short blurb describing the premise rather than an actual review. Nice work on that first source, for sure, though. Rorshacma (talk) 19:51, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I think there is some reliability as a genre-specific website, because Sci-fi Online says it includes writers with experience as reviewers at Dreamwatch, including the author of what seems to be a non-trivial review of the book. So when combined with a scholarly review and the currently-undetermined level of review from Interzone, the book seems to have notability at least weakly supported per WP:NBOOK.

• Weak keep. Contiuum + Intetrzone reviews (the latter is four paragraphs long and can be accessed through IA, see the link above) meet the minimum required for multiple reliable, independent sources, IMHO. The Sci-fi Online review looks very amateurish (could be just formatting, I didn't read it) and I'd hesitate to accept it as reliable at face value (does the site has any editorial controls?). If that site can be shown to be reliable, it would strengthen the keep arguments. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:16, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep. There are two WP:SIGCOV (or non-trivial per the requirements of WP:NBOOK criteria 1) meeting reliable, independent reviews from Contiuum (a reliable peer-reviewed journal) and Interzone (an established sci-fi magazine). The latter is available on Page 58 and is covered in three paragraphs, so meets the significant coverage requirement. Overall this topic satisfies WP:NBOOK#1 and borderline passes WP:GNG.

The result was redirect to List of programs broadcast by Hum TV. I'am re-closing this AfD per WP:BADNAC, as set out in Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2023 January 25. I agree with JoelleJay's assessment there: "2 out of the 3 keep !votes are unsigned comments by Pakistan IPs with total article overlap and should have been discounted entirely as obvious socking. The sole other keep !vote (from an editor who has made the exact same types of edits to the exact same page the IPs edited...) vaguely claims to have added refs that were "not merely passing mentions or brief paragraphs" but does not explain how they count towards GNG and did not address the comments demonstrating several of the sources they added were not RS. Meanwhile, the delete/redirect !votes made P&G-based arguments and actively engaged with specific sources." Sandstein 06:49, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-procedural nomination, previously brought to AfD and soft-deleted following minimal participation a few months ago. Since recreation, one substantive additional source has been cited: The Brown Identity, which has decent analysis, although its About Us doesn't inspire confidence. Even if accepted as reliable (and I'm somewhat inclined to do so), we still seem to fall short of GNG as a whole. The other additional sources just mention the series in passing while discussing the careers of actors involved in it.

  If someone has expressed their point of view over the issue, why does it have to be always as per your analysis? Clearly I've added sources to the show you can confirm it from the page history. Moreover , since it's in local language you might not understand the depth and crux of the sources which covers everything related to the show. Rosguill ^talk Are you sure nothing is added since you nominated it for deletion? Lillyput4455 (talk) 18 January 2023, 18:44 (UTC)

Rosguill just expressed that nothing has changed due to sources being insufficient, which is a distinctively different argument. You added Trending In Social, a blog that highlights trending topics in the world of social media. self-published sources are generally unreliable unless you can demonstrate that there is clear editorial processes or that the staff are subject-matter experts. Inevitably, you will disagree with my statement, but it will obviously be stronger if you could refute the central point instead of stating that since it's in local language you might not understand the depth and crux of the sources which covers everything related to the show. It would be desirable if you refer to policies and guidelines instead of casting doubt on that others might not understand the depth and crux of the sources, which will not really advance your case. Additionally, this for me which could not be opened due to a 502 error. You mention that there are 13 references, which is laudable, but as you sure know it's never about the quantity but the quality of the sourcing. Thank you.

Darla (dog) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Darla the dog has received insufficient coverage to merit a standalone article. Only claim to notability is having starred in a few high profile films, and Notability is not inherited. Sources are questionable; consisting only of a blog, a Facebook page, and an apparently self-published source. The only other substantive source found in a WP:BEFORE was this Screenrant article, which appears to primarily regurgitate the information in the subject's Wikipedia article. silvia (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 09:15, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep, many canine actors have pages on Wikipedia, nothing unusual about it. This dog is well known to the point of its role and name as Precious in Silence of the Lambs being familiar to millions of film "buffs" and her page actually mentions her status as "a cult icon" (for more sources see this and other search engine links). The rational for this move that an actor's "notability is not inherited" from their starring roles in films would remove thousands of actor's pages from Wikipedia! Randy Kryn (talk) 13:05, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Snow keep - we know that notability is not temporary. There are plenty of sources online, so instead of wasting everyone's time with this AfD, I'm of the mind that the delete editors could have been far more productive had they engaged in WP:BEFORE. Here are a few that I found rather quickly: People Magazine, Gizmodo, and CBS News. Those are 3 major mainstream sources, hardly insufficient coverage. Atsme 💬 📧 14:34, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Adding additional list of sources that I quickly found today alone:

• I still do not believe that these sources show sufficient notability for a standalone article. These are all relatively trivial mentions in lists of dogs, which do not address the subject directly and in detail, thus failing WP:SIGCOV. While these sources do seem reliable, I feel that they justify a merge to List of animal actors (or a similar page) and not a standalone article.

  As for the argument that many dog actors have pages on Wikipedia, and that many actors would be removed if we were to apply and accept my nomination argument elsewhere- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. It seems likely to me that many of those articles, like many articles on Wikipedia that have gone overlooked or unnoticed, should indeed be deleted, but that's outside the scope of this discussion. silvia (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 17:41, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• You are raising my concerns because you still do not (and you bolded "not" ) believe these sources are sufficient. I looked at your AfD stats, and they confirm my concerns in light of the fact that you are still on the wrong side of this argument. I've been finding sources quite easily, in addition to the ones I've already mentioned, and that are cited in the article. Per GNG: "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. Also per WP:N - There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. It easily passes significant coverage, and it is detailed coverage. Five sources are already cited in the article, and I just provided another 4 or 5.

1. People Magazine published a full article titled There's Nothing Scary About the 'Precious' and Talented Canine Star of 'Clarice' : 'She's Great';
2. Filmsite.org movie review - uses the scene with the dog in detail;
3. Vox demonstrates the cultural impact: "The sheer cultural dominance of Silence of the Lambs over the years is hard to quantify; .... — from the fava beans to the lotion in the basket to Precious the dog."
4. Vulture, uses the name "Darla", shows a clip of her performance, but the author used "the dog" in lieu of "Darla" which may be why the search did not show much;

• As I mentioned earlier, before you nom an article for AfD, you need to do a much better WP:BEFORE. I am trying to help you here because it appears that you are misunderstanding WP:GNG and WP:N, or maybe the issue involves locating sources, I don't know. This little dog was not a one time wonder. She acted in several highly notable films, one of which "grossed over $270 million worldwide, and won the "Big Five" at the Academy Awards. She was also credited as the "Pink Poodle" in Tim Burton's Pee-wee's Big Adventure in 1985. Keep in mind that a dog's average lifespan is about 12 years, so let's use some common sense here. The dog skyrocketed to fame, had a prominent role in major motion pictures, such as Silence of the Lambs which was seen by millions of people. Darla became a cult in her little lifetime with her own FB fan page, and is still being talked about today. The article easily passes WP:10YT. The cited sources themselves tell us the dog is notable - you just have to read them. That article could even be expanded because there are plenty of sources to cite. Atsme 💬 📧 22:50, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I didn't find any of those sources, because search engines didn't yield any of them. That's not my fault. I guess Darla is in fact notable, and Google didn't give any useful results about her when I searched for "darla dog," and I didn't know about her fame because all of these films came out around a decade before I was born at the latest. I apologize.

  I would now close this discussion, had two other editors not voted "delete," but since it's not eligible for me to withdraw it I'll be leaving it to the AfD process. I'll be absconding from this discussion with no further comment. Sorry again for wasting everyone's time. silvia (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 00:07, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Nah, BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4, that's cool. You opened this nom in good faith, and that's the bottom line at Wikipedia - assume good faith. What it did was put some attention on the page and improve it, so nothing wrong with the result. Thanks for withdrawing it, this is rarer than it should be, some nomming editors hold on to the leaky raft, which are also good faith actions. What you bring up is a concern at Wikipedia, that as decades go by some of these important pages won't have people defending them (one reason I should campaign for a ceiling on deletion noms per page, three even seem too many to me if spaced out over a few years) because they aren't known. Atsme did a great job here, I'm glad the page was saved. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:28, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Quite often, young players that debut are on an upward trajectory. There are, of course, plenty that play a game or two then disappear, as we both know. If the subject does become notable in the near future, it would be easier to update the draft than to create something from scratch or ask the deleting admin to restore to user space or equivalent. I'm not too fussed either way as I accept that the subject isn't notable so deletion is not unreasonable. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 23:01, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Article fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. Being recognized as one of the top 20 best company to work for in Brazil for the last 6 years by the Great Place to Work Institute is not an indication of notability in any way, and in fact being in those types of lists is specifically listed as an example of trivial coverage.

As the nominator said, a different draft version is actually in better shape, and the creators of that draft can work on better sources if they arise in the future. Overall, this singer repeats the pattern that we see with a lot of new African acts: the management gets them into a lot of unreliable gossip blogs and shameless promo sites that merely reprint publicity announcements, and those are then used as "evidence" of notability in an equally messy WP article.

This article stands or falls on the central premise that the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices has influenced the sign design of other countries.

• Comment the article is in any case a real mess. The lead includes sentences that are logically meaningless ("They, along with the US Virgin Islands, are also the only countries listed here which drive on the left—with the exception of Liberia and the Philippines (though partial), both of which drive on the right."). The table is horrendously unhelpfully laid-out; on my fairly average laptop, the horizontal scroll-bar can't fit on the screen at the same time as the column-headings, which means scrolling is a process of moving randomly for a bit, then going back up to see where we've reached. This has happened in part because someone wrote the table the wrong way round (it only needed 6 columns if it had been done as a vertical table), and partly because it's had to include a list of all secondary languages used in each country, which takes up a huge amount of screen-space without being particularly relevant to the subject. We shouldn't inflict this sort of disaster on our readers. But I suspect the article exists as a complementary article to Vienna_Convention_on_Road_Signs_and_Signals.

• This clearly needs a lot of work, as there is notable encyclopaedic information here, the question is whether the best way to achieve this is via heavy editing or TNT. I don't support draftifcation as that's more than likely just going to end up quietly being deleted under G13 in 6 or so months having failed to attract anybody's attention; likewise deletion will make it harder for people to extract the notable information from this article - the tables need reformatting (the first needs rotating 90°, the second needs splitting (possibly by continent) as it's too large) but there was a lot of work involved in creating them that would be a shame to throw away rather than reuse. So ultimately, I arrive at keep but refocus and improve. Thryduulf (talk) 10:41, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Is there a tool or script for rotating tables? Otherwise it's a nightmare of a job! Elemimele (talk) 12:54, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  A roundabout way would be to copy the table markup, convert that to CSV, import the CSV into a spreadsheet, cut that to the clipboard, use paste special to transpose it. Then copy that output and convert it to a MediaWiki table and paste it into the article. This would probably take about 2 minutes, but it's quite likely there is a better way that I don't know about!

Very niche term that can easily be folded into the Cambodian Genocide article with no loss in information. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 05:10, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Google Books results show scholarly attention and critical debate over the term in its own right. For example: [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16]. The term is not used exclusively in relation to Cambodian genocide, so a separate article is appropriate. Jfire (talk) 05:46, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Term sees plenty of use in academia and is being used WRT Cambodia, Armenia, China, ... [17] --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:25, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually have to walk that back. All the publications I had in mind using this for other nations turn out, on deeper reading, to restrict the term to Cambodia, and use plain "genocide" or other terms for other cases. Looks like it is pretty much Cambodia-specific. Hence, merge as suggested may be more suitable. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 21:20, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Passes GNG. It's discussed in the context of African American and Native Americans by Joy James in Resisting State Violence, Robert Melson discusses the concept throughout Revolution and Genocide, its entry in the Dictionary of Genocide discusses some issues/controversy with the term, and a variety of other sources looking at the Khmer Rogue specifically.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND, only sources are mostly interviews or reviews from non-notable blogs and can't find much sources that prove criteria for inclusion elsewhere Second Skin (talk) 02:53, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

From WP:BAND they meet #5 ("Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels") with at least 6 full length releases on Metropolis Records, which counts as a significant indie; Note that Chain DLK, Side-line, and Brutal Resonance are indie publications, Side-line in particular having been in existence since the early 1990s when it was print only, and there are unrefed articles on Regen Magazine that could be added. But, agree that coverage is sparse. Found evidence of a track making the iTunes Charts, but I'm not sure that notability criteria have caught up with the digital age. They've also toured nationally, which could cover WP:BAND #4 if sufficiently referenced. -- t_kiehne (talk) 19:47, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Imo there's not much coverage or instance for notability. That's not even to mention that the article itself fails to compile almost any information besides just listing members.

Virginia State Route 665 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

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

This article is an indiscriminate list of information that likely lacks any sources other than the provided transportation department sources. None of the listed routes are likely notable individually, and the set of all Virginia state secondary highways can be summarized in an article about the state's secondary highway system. VC 02:37, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are over a hundred similar pages... so, nominate them all, don't cherry pick. Famartin (talk) 06:51, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bundling multiple articles usually leads to a WP:TRAINWRECK. It's fine to AfD this one to see what the consensus is. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 06:52, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK I guess. To be honest, I think ALL articles on Virginia secondary highways should be permanently deleted as non-notable. Secondary routes in Virginia are county-level roads, and that level highway is generally considered non-notable in Wikipedia. Someone not familiar with the Virginia system might see the SR's and think they are important, but generally none of them are and none of them deserve articles. So, if we favor deleting this one, I strongly favor deleting every last one, including the individual ones some individuals have made for county-specific roads, like Virginia State Route 609 (Fairfax County). That having been said, if articles like this List of county routes in Monmouth County, New Jersey are ok, then I see nothing wrong with the article debated here. Famartin (talk) 06:58, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This type of Virginia secondary route list has a different scope than a list of county routes. Rather than a list of 95 county routes in one county, this article is a list of 95 routes in 95 counties, one per county. If we eventually delete all of these Virginia secondary route lists, the precedent will not apply to the lists of county routes; those lists will need to go through a separate AfD. This precedent would also not apply to articles about individual secondary routes like the SR 609 in Fairfax County. Some of the individual routes might actually be notable and have independent sources, so they need to be evaluated case by case. VC 20:29, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. Virginia SR’s are just as notable (or non-notable) as, say, 600 series county routes in NJ. They are signed, and in Virginia, many date to the 1930s (which is longer than many CR’s have existed). The general public likely uses (or ignores) them just as much as CR’s in NJ. They are shown on many maps. The reason I decided to list them by number instead of individually by county is because of VA’s odd system and the way it is signed… internally, they are by county, but externally to the public, Sr 600 is signed exactly the same in every county. Also, the only reason some SR’s got individual pages is because they are in urban areas where some have more traffic. But traffic has never been used to denote notability on state routes… they all get mention, like in MD. Famartin (talk) 22:58, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
