Does not meet any notability guidelines and was created by an editor with an COI Bender550 (talk) 23:29, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. The Fortune source seems to be reliable, secondary, independent, significant coverage (though the article previously sourced quotes from one of the co-creators as being from Fortune, which I edited out). The Axios source seems like trivial coverage of a deal with Adidas and a brief summary of what the show is. To meet WP:GNG or WP:WEBCRIT, it would need multiple good sources.

  • Keep I have added two scholarly articles devoted to this poem, both also found by Rusalkii. Those, and several paras in another source found by that editor, show that it has "been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the [work] itself", which are grounds for notability in WP:BKCRIT and WP:NSONG. Another criterion for notability in WP:BKCRIT is "is, or has been, the subject of instruction at two or more schools, colleges, universities or post-graduate programs in any particular country", which appears to be the case with this poem. It would be good to have sources verifying that - hopefully editors in India will be able to add them. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:30, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Although sources exist to fill out this article with the relevant candidates and results, I do not believe that these elections meet the general notability guidelines. I cannot find more than passing mentions of these elections in local news. The best in-depth source I could find was this archived voter guide from The Washington Post.

This article is an autobiography made by User:Hamid Arzulu in 2010. A quick Google search revealed nothing that could show that this person satisfies the notability guidelines.

This article is about a largely unremarkable company. The media coverage mostly relates to business typical events (such as an IPO), some lawsuits, and not the company itself. I note that this article includes the 2024 arrest of a Lifestance employee who was charged with distributing child pornography, which really has nothing to do with Lifestance and makes me wonder what part that case plays in creating this article. Counterfeit Purses (talk) 20:04, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep The article plainly meets the NP:GNG criteria, as well as the WP:NCORP criteria. As of right now here is a summary of sources:
Notability
Source
Bloomberg News 5 articles that cover lifestance in a non-trivial, in-depth manner, in an international news periodical.
Forbes 1 article that covers lifestance in a non-trivial, in-depth manner, in an international news periodical.
Behavioral Health News 4 articles that cover lifestance in a non-trivial, in-depth manner, in an industry trade publication.
PE Hub 1 articles that cover lifestance in a non-trivial, in-depth manner, in a private equity trade publication.
Fiercehealthcare.com 1 article that cover lifestance in a non-trivial, in-depth manner, in an industry trade publication.
Trivial mentions
  • 1 NYT included
  • 1 Connecticut News 12 included
  • Additionally, WP:ORGSIG states, in part, When evaluating the notability of organizations or products, please consider whether they have had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education. An organization that provides 2 million mental health appointments per quarter, annualized to 8 million per year plainly has a significant effect on society.
  • Lastly, what is your point about the long island therapist? If your point is that the material doesn't belong in the article, we can discuss that on the article’s talk page, it doesn’t require a deletion. Otherwise I'm not sure what you might mean by that.
Delectopierre (talk) 21:54, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think we disagree about what "in-depth" means. My point about the inclusion of the arrest of an employee for distribution of child porn is that it has no relevance to the company itself. It is just one of a number of "bad" things that you included in the article. Four of those Bloomberg articles are about negative events (lawsuits, falling stock prices). It seems like it gets more press coverage for typical business things like that than it does for its actual activities. If it was really having an effect on society, it would get written about for that, not for its stock price going down. Counterfeit Purses (talk) 22:20, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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

Article about a short film, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NFILM. As always, films are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show evidence of passing WP:GNG on third-party reliable source coverage about them in media and books (such as reviews by professional film critics, evidence of notable film awards, production coverage, and the like.)
But this just states that the film exists, makes no claim of significance that would earn it a presumption of notability in the absence of adequate sourcing, and cites only a single directory entry for referencing rather than any evidence of GNG-building coverage.
Simple existence is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt a film from having to have GNG-worthy sourcing about it. Bearcat (talk) 19:30, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hamjamguy (talk · contribs) attempted to nominate this article for deletion, but placed the intended subpage contents on the talk page instead. Their rationale follows:

Page was previously nominated for deletion on May 1, 2018, and based on what I can gather was deleted until November 2024. The article consists of mostly non-English sources that do not qualify as WP:NPOV. Unless substantial effort on procuring less-biased and neutral English language sources is done, I believe the article should be deleted once again.
— User:Hamjamguy 17:48, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

This is entirely procedural on my part and I offer no opinion. WCQuidditch 18:31, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Wcquidditch I think that since you opened this Afd you are supporting the claim "non-English sources that do not qualify as WP:NPOV". I count 42 sources and would like to know what "do not qualify" since, in fact, the mostly of sources are peer-reviewed scientific papers and, secondly, mainstream press sources. The claim for deletion is only a WP:IDL without support in WP:DEL. Please, close this nonsense. Ixocactus (talk) 23:13, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I again reiterate that I am neutral in this, have no actual opinion here, and that Hamjamguy should still be considered the actual nominator for all intents and purposes. I only opened this because I noticed a half-baked nomination in the log (a subpage listed but then completely nonexistent); this was largely procedural, but should not be considered to be an endorsement of the nominator's comments. While a response from Hamjamguy would be appreciated (which is why I am pinging him again), I myself have not reviewed any of the sources, have no intention (or, in the case of the non-English sources, realistic ability) to, and cannot comment as to their neutrality. WCQuidditch 23:23, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to thank @Wcquidditch for helping me to actually make this AfD, I followed the instructions as best I could but clearly still did something wrong. But @Ixocactus don't distort my words, the sources aren't neutral because they aren't in English (ridiculous thing to not only allege but also believe, I am a fluent speaker of Portuguese living in Brazil); they are not neutral because a large portion of them (particularly alleging that Bolsonarism is fascist or neo-fascist) ignore the facts of what not only the key founder believe (Bolsonaro) but also what he did during his tenure. Is Bolsonaro "far right"? I think that is a fair assertion. But fascists don't allow under any circumstances political opposition, and Bolsonaro clearly lost (albeit much to his distaste). To be honest, and also to reiterate, if the article were a more neutral presentation of facts; I would oppose this very AfD that I proposed. But, with the lack of neutrality of some/most of the sources (most of which directly translated from pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolsonarismo), at the current state and the history of this article I believe it warrants deletion. Hamjamguy (talk) 23:42, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep per Ixocactus. The page has plenty of neutral and unbiased sources. Opm581 (talk | he/him) 23:19, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I invite you to look at the Twitter page of the author of the "neutral source" that alleges Bolsonaro is a fascist. Will probably require Google Translate, but the author (Leandro Pereira Gonçalves) clearly is ideologically opposed to Bolsonaro, therefore uses the cloak of academia to disseminate his political beliefs to sources such as Wikipedia as "neutral" and "valid". This example is not the only one on this page. For what I believe to be the third time, if this article were to include easily verifiable English language sources, I would myself oppose this article's AfD, and would prefer it to remove these charged, controversial statements such as that Bolsonaro is "fascist", as almost half of Brazil's population and most English media outlets listed as viable per WP:NPOV would beg to differ, simply and fairly labeling him as "right wing" or "far right". Hamjamguy (talk) 23:52, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Ixocactus, but the article still includes some biased sources though very few, such as CartaCapital (cited in the opinion section) and Brasil de Fato, both of which have a left-wing bias. It would be best to remove them. Cattos💭 23:46, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure if I, the creator of this AfD am allowed to have any further opinion, but if I am, I would like to further clarify my reasons for nominating for Deletion. As a test, I removed the tag Neo-fascist as well as the two clearly biased "academic" sources, yet not even 2 minutes later I was reverted and accused of "not giving a good enough reason to remove academic sources". Therefore, my ideal scenario of reforming the article around NPOV sources seems even more unlikely to occur than I originally thought. Hamjamguy (talk) 00:27, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The nomination points out only that she does not meet one very specific WP:PROF criterion, #C5. But notability need not achieved through meeting that criterion when others are available. In this case, she has many published reviews of her books, easily passing both WP:AUTHOR and (because they are in-depth independent reliable sources about her work) WP:GNG. As for "top editor" JmsDoug: that editor's contributions were limited to the infobox and the paragraph about the visiting position at the University of Hawaii. The article creation itself was long ago by someone else. So the suggestion that this is a foundationally tainted article turns out to be, if not disingenous, then at least spectacularly false. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:58, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    None so blind as will not see.
    But to lead you more directly to what you have not seen: WP:AUTHOR 4(c) "The person's work (or works) has ... won significant critical attention". WP:GNG: "A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
    The many published reviews constitute both "significant critical attention" and "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". They are indeed about the subject in the sense that they are entirely about the subject's work, the thing she is notable for, just as we would expect significant coverage of an athlete to be about their athletic accomplishments or significant coverage of a musician to be about their musical performances. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:04, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Several books with multiple reviews in reliable independent sources means that she passes WP:AUTHOR, and her citation record [9] looks strong as well (five papers with over a hundred citations, the top one with over 800 citations and an h-index of 21), almost certainly meeting WP:PROF#1.

Like Eddie891, I think having an obit in Indian Literature and being described as "a major voice in Indian poetry and women's writing" in My Birth Was Not In Vain: Selected Poems by Seven Bengali Women are good indications that she is notable and that there is more coverage. She published many poems in Bengali, and there is likely to be coverage in Bengali language sources (not Bengali Wikipedia), and other languages of the subcontinent. Frustratingly, many of the English language sources which come up in a Google Books source are snippet view only. I hope someone with access to relevant hardcopy sources will add more.

Being a mayor does not make a person inherently notable. Fails NPOL. GrabUp - Talk 14:37, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Courtesy linking to WP:NPOL for people. Looked at the sources, and all three (as of Mar 9 2025) essentially just say that she won the election without really saying anything about her, so I wouldn't count them as significant coverage. That said Haridwar is apparently the 2nd largest city in the state, at ~200,000, so it's at least not tiny.

Non-notable singer. Fails WP:GNG, WP:SINGER and the subject of this article is not a notable individual. He is primarily a TikToker/YouTuber but does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for people. The article also incorrectly describes him as a musician, but there is no evidence that he meets the notability criteria for musicians. Additionally, the references provided appear to be paid or promotional news articles.

For example, one article states: "RobinRafan has the ability to deliver creative storytelling content and has proven herself to be a force to be reckoned with." (Here, "herself" is incorrect, suggesting possible copy-paste or automated content). see here Furthermore, these news sources mention all of his platform profiles and account names, which is unusual for genuine news articles. This strongly indicates *a lack of independent, reliable sources*.

Additionally, the article appears to have a conflict of interest WP:COI as it seems to have been created by someone closely related to the subject. Based on these factors, the article does not meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria and should be deleted.SRL1122 (talk) 07:44, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Another Note: Obidur Rahman and RobinRafan are the same person. In October last year, an article titled RobinRafan was deleted due to concerns, including a clear conflict of interest (COI). Now, instead of recreating the article under the same name, a new article has been created under Obidur Rahman, attempting to establish notability as a musician.

He has also been covered in depth in reliable and notable news sites like, Jago News 241, Dhaka Tribune 2, The Bangladesh Today 3, Janakantha 4, The Daily Observer (Bangladesh) 5and more. Which makes the subject at least pass the WP:NBASIC. He has also been covered for his Album from The Bangladesh Today 6as well for the books he authored byThe Daily Observer (Bangladesh) 9.Instant History (talk) 06:16, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    While the subject has received some media coverage, the available sources do not provide significant, independent, and in-depth coverage required to meet Wikipedia’s notability standards WP:GNG.
    1. Not a Musician: Obidur Rahman is primarily a content creator, not a musician. The awards he received, such as the Babisas Award and Dhallywood Film and Music Awards, were for content creation, not for musical achievements. If content creation alone were enough for notability, then many other content creators in Bangladesh would also qualify.
    2. Awards: The listed awards do not appear to be major national or international honors with extensive media coverage. Winning an award does not automatically establish notability unless it is widely recognized and covered in-depth by independent sources WP:ANYBIO.
    3. Media Coverage: The sources cited, including Jago News 24, Dhaka Tribune, and The Bangladesh Today, mainly provide brief mentions rather than substantial analysis. Many of these articles seem promotional rather than independent journalistic coverage, which does not meet Wikipedia’s standards for significant coverage WP:SIGCOV.
    4. Books and Albums: Publishing books or music alone does not establish notability WP:AUTHOR, WP:MUSICBIO. There is no evidence of critical reviews or independent discussions proving their impact or significance.
    Additionally, after this article was nominated for deletion, a new article was published on March 5, 2025, in The Bangladesh Today, seemingly to reinforce notability. However, this article does not provide neutral or independent coverage. Moreover, the reliability of The Bangladesh Today itself is questionable, as it does not appear to be a highly reputable or widely recognized news source.
    On the same day, user Minilikintern added this as a reference. Instant History, I would kindly request you to review this news article and share your thoughts after reading it.
    Given these factors, the subject does not meet Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines WP:GNG or the specific criteria for musicians and authors WP:MUSICBIO, WP:AUTHOR.SRL1122 (talk) 16:33, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    For now, let’s ignore WP:AUTHOR and WP:MUSICBIO. Let’s concentrate on WP:NBASIC, which states: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability." As we can see, most of the sources (probably more than five) have Wikipedia pages themselves, and the person is clearly the subject of the articles, rather than just receiving a trivial mention.
  • Regarding your claim that the awards are not notable, I believe this is incorrect. The fact that these awards have dedicated Wikipedia pages indicates their significance. According to WP:ANYBIO, the subject has received well-known and significant awards (e.g., Babisas Award and Dhallywood Film and Music Awards). If you think these awards are not notable and significant, you may challenge them for deletion as well.
  • As for the reference you pointed out, you are correct that it is written in a promotional manner, and we need to remove it. I have also cleaned up two more additional references that were promotional.
  • The COI issue with the creator seems obvious, as you mentioned. However, I think we are here to discuss whether the subjects meet the notability requirements or not.
  • And also I would appreciate it if you could explain how you became such an expert in sorting pages for deletion discussions while having only 25 edits. Instant History (talk) 00:14, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for your response. I would like to clarify a few key points:
    1. Misinterpretation of Notability
    According to WP:NBASIC, notability requires significant coverage from independent and reliable sources.
    Simply being mentioned in multiple sources does not establish notability.
    Most of the cited sources provide only trivial mentions rather than in-depth coverage.
    Some sources, such as The Bangladesh Today, are not considered highly reliable mainstream media outlets.
    2. Source Analysis
    Out of 12 references, 10 explicitly describe him as a content creator.
    While some sources casually mention "musical artist," the primary emphasis remains on his identity as a content creator.
    Only two articles focus on his music—one from Dhaka Tribune and another from The Bangladesh Today.
    The Bangladesh Today itself lacks strong credibility as a reliable source.
    3. Awards and Misrepresentation
    The subject received these awards as a content creator, not as a musician.
    If winning such awards as a content creator is enough to establish notability, then at least 10 other content creators in Bangladesh should also be considered notable, yet they are not.
    4. Attempt to Fabricate Notability
    As I previously mentioned, new articles were published after the AfD nomination to strengthen claims of notability.
    Dhaka Tribune originally published an article on June 27, 2023, explicitly identifying him as a content creator.
    After the deletion nomination, on March 6, 2025, the same article was updated to present him as a "musician".
    This suggests a deliberate attempt to manipulate notability, which contradicts Wikipedia’s principles.
    5. COI (Conflict of Interest) & Neutrality Concerns
    You have already acknowledged that some references were promotional and have been removed. This further supports the argument that the article was created with a biased intent.
    Wikipedia does not establish notability based on self-promotional or questionable sources.
    6. Questioning My Edit Count
    The number of edits a user has is irrelevant to the validity of their arguments.
    Wikipedia values policy-based discussions over edit count metrics.
    Evaluating AfD cases does not require thousands of edits—just an understanding of Wikipedia’s guidelines. Thank you SRL1122 (talk) 08:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This was an interesting one to go through. As others noted, there's a couple of possible claims for notability, including WP:NSINGER, WP:NCREATIVE and WP:GNG. As a singer, I don't see how they meet the NSINGER criteria. No significant awards and nothing in the article to support the criteria there. Sure, singles have been released and gotten WP:NEWSORGINDIA breathless articles, with bylines like Tribune Desk, Online Desk, Web Desk, and written in an over-the-top promotional style that would make any PR agent satisfied. Hallmarks of paid/sponsored articles and journalism. And that basically summarizes nearly every source in this article. So this really gets into are the awards considered "major awards" that the criteria is looking for. Several of the awards (Babisas Award, Dhallywood Film & Music Awards) have been inconsistent, skipping years. That's a big red flag. The others seem more niche and not what I'd term "major", especially with the PR coverage in the sources. A couple of good sources, not paid/sponsored, not churnalism, not NEWSORGINDIA red flags, that have significant coverage of Rahman are really what's needed and I'm not seeing them here.

This page appears to be a mixture of unsourced information, original research, and potentially self-promotion.

  • The primary source for the page, and for the majority of its life the only source, is a Time Magazine article entitled Festivals: Romantic Revival. The article was published in 1969 and is merely a review of a particular event held that year which featured Romantic music (and which was not even called "Romantic Revival"). The Time article contains no claims about broader historical trends of Romantic music experiencing a revival in the cultural consciousness starting in the 1960s, as the Wikipedia page does. In fact, far from suggesting that this 1969 festival is the beginning of a coming cultural shift, the author is openly derisive of the Romantic music played at the festival.
  • The text about Ates Orga's championing of the revival, added to the article several years after its initial creation, is supported only by an accompanying reference to a 1977 article written by Orga, and not by any independent source positing the notability of Orga's activities.
  • The text about the Romantic Revival Orchestra, added to the article quite recently, appears to be entirely self-promotion. No source is provided other than a link to the website of the entity described.

Note that the page has existed on Wikipedia for almost 20 years and as such may have influenced sources written after 2007, if not in any particulars of fact, then at least in the claim of the existence, naming, and notability of a "Romantic Revival" in classical music in the 1960s.

  • Delete it doesn't look like the sourcing is at all there to support the idea that this was a musical movement. Since the article says Harold C. Schonberg was a champion of it in the New York Times I searched the full archive for that paper and as near as I can tell he never used the phrase, and the paper itself only used the phrase talking about other eras, or just casually saying that there's been a revival in interest in this kind of music lately, without saying anything about it being a specific movement. This article appears to be advancing an original argument the sources don't make. --Here2rewrite (talk) 13:40, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    There is plenty of information about a "romantic revival" in literature in the 19th century, which is what your source #2 is about, and probably what source #1 is about as well though I don't have access to it. But that doesn't support this article, which is about a revival of romantic music in the mid 20th century.
    The third article you linked is not an academic source - it's an editorial column from a paleoconservative monthly magazine with "close ties to the neo-Confederate movement", according to its Wikipedia article. It was also written a full 10 years after Romantic Revival was first published on Wikipedia, for whatever that's worth. — flamingspinach | (talk) 23:37, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of vegans (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 list fails WP:DATED, which advises, for text that is likely to go out of date to be verifiable, statements should be dated. As evidenced by the talk page's list of former vegans, and some research, following a vegan diet is not an immutable characteristic (such as Latino or profession, which Wikipedia treats as immutable). I don't doubt many BLPs listed are no longer vegan, even as we claim they are.

For the list to be verifiable, an extra column would have to be added, "as of". This would contradict the strong claim made in the title, which implies "currently a vegan" rather than "was ever a vegan", as seen by the removal of entries when people are no longer identified as vegan. This point was only cursorily addressed in the last deletion discussion, which came to no-consensus. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 04:50, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The article is well sourced. It is true that in the past there were celebrities on the list who were not vegan. Myself and another user have fixed this problem by removing them from the article list. On the talk-page there is a long list of former vegans and mistaken vegans [37]. I am not convinced we need to start adding dates when people became vegan on the list. Adding WP:RS is good enough. If users want to know more about their veganism they can click on the biographies of the person and read their article. Veg Historian (talk) 10:45, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm thankful for your comment. I'll just note once on "the article is well sourced" that, as an example, the source listed is an RS for the claim that Mark Browning was a vegan as of 2010, but it is not a RS for the claim that he is a vegan now, per the reasoning in the nom. Sources are considered reliable/not reliable for a given statement. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 11:02, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I believe the criteria you are setting for this list is too high. This is a simple list of vegans. If a person is not vegan anymore and we have an WP:RS for that we just remove their name from the list. If a reliable source says someone is vegan and we have no further updates on that then we leave them on the list. I am not sure why you are trying to over complicate this list. It is true that many vegan celebrities seeking fame and fortune give up their veganism but they are mostly doing it as a fad and not for ethical reasons. Once we have newspaper material or interviews about this documenting when they gave up veganism; we just remove them from the list. We do not add dates. Myself and another user have removed many of these from the list in the past.
    Adding specific dates is just overcomplicating things. I have not seen this criteria suggested for other lists. Are you also going to be suggesting next that we add specific dates to List of animal rights advocates saying when they became activists? I believe this is unnecessary. As stated if someone is not vegan anymore and we have a source on that; we just remove them from the list. Veg Historian (talk) 11:28, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    To use your example, List of animal rights advocates does not require dating the attribute (e.g. as of 2024 they were an animal rights advocate) because it is not "likely to go out of date" as WP:DATED states. The reason I say this is likely to go out of date is because a) the long list on the talk page shows a lot of people come in and out of veganism (and sources probably won't exist for a lot of them doing that: for BLP articles to avoid error and for verifiability we date these statements) and b) the research I mention in the nom. I'll leave this as my last comment. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 11:38, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but preserve only verifiable entries. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 13:04, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This list provides a valuable resource, showcasing notable individuals who have followed a vegan diet, supported by reliable sources. It's an informative tool, promoting transparency and accuracy. As long as we maintain verifiability and remove individuals who are no longer vegan based on reliable sources, there's no need for added complexity like specific dates. The list serves its purpose of highlighting veganism without overcomplicating the matter, and it remains a useful reference for those interested in the subject. However, I would not be opposed to an extra column for dates, which could be a useful addition to acknowledge those who were vegan for part of their lives or careers, without complicating the core purpose of the list. Either way! MaynardClark (talk) 17:07, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep They do get coverage in reliable sources for being vegan. Dream Focus 18:24, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am perplexed as to the rationale. The very nature of Wikipedia is that many claims are only factually verifiable within the time-frame of the source. You can literally pull out the date the claim is made (or at least published) by hovering over the reference at the end of the row. This is actually a strength the list has over a category, because the context, the time-frame and the sourcing for the claim can be immediately accessed. At best, the proposer is making a case for making information already in the article a little bit more obvious and accessible, but that is not a deletion rationale. The article is well sourced and satisfies WP:LISTN. Betty Logan (talk) 19:44, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Betty Logan: I did consider this idea before nominating, that you can simply hover over the source date to get an "as of." I persisted in nominating, however, as I agree with the logic presented in WP:DATED, that this is an issue of verifiability. If a source says Hershey's was the biggest chocolate company as of 2010, and I present such information as "Hershey's is the biggest chocolate company", the claim would fail verification. Omitting "as of 2010" implies a contemporary nature that the source cannot verify. It is not sufficient to simply include the date in the reference. Besides, readers only very rarely look at the sources.
    I considered if a column dating the identifications would resolve this, and decided against it. This is because the list is of people who are currently vegans, seen in the lack of qualification in the title or lede, and in the way people are removed as they cease following the diet/lifestyle. This may be nitpicky, and I wouldn't begrudge the community deeming it so, but if I read a list of people who are currently vegans and a name was included, even dated, I would read this as claiming they are currently vegan, last confirmed on this date. Perhaps this could be worked around with lede text, although structurally I am doubtful.
    Regardless, there's a consensus here to keep. Either my thinking was understood and disagreed with, or I didn't communicate coherently enough to generate understanding. I'll withdraw the AfD when I am back at a computer. If you care to respond to my thinking I'd love to hear on my TP, but I understand if not.

Hi there, Wikipedia isn't targeting you, it's just that there are quite a lot of guidelines and policies to adhere to. In terms of notability, the song does not meet the requirements (WP:NSONG). jolielover♥talk 03:12, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was pretty notable. What makes Rusty any less notable then songs such as Gone, Gone /Thank You or Tamale? both of which count as notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Booksandarticles (talk • contribs) 12:22, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Notability isn't derived from opinions, there's a guideline in place for songs (WP:NSONG) and a quick google search finds hardly any sources on this song, only passing mentions of it in general news about the album/live performances. The difference in the other examples you mentioned is that they do appear to have significant coverage. Tamale, for example, got quick a lot due to its provocative lyrics and music video. Gone, Gone / Thank You also has some notability to have a page due to it charting in a few countries and earning some certifications. jolielover♥talk 15:39, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete based on the existing sources.
    • Complex has a paragraph of coverage, just barely significant IMO.
    • Consequence only mentions that the song was performed. Trivial coverage.
    • Billboard is an album review, which doesn't contribute to notability per WP:NSONG.
    • Pitchfork, also an album review.
    • Rolling Stone, another album review.

This station is a classic case of a rebroadcaster of national Christian radio networks, though it was recently sold from one to another. Unlike most, it once had some local programming, but the notability case is thin enough to suggest a redirect to ESNE Radio instead of the current content.

This is an article on a particularly important company, however, it has languished for eight years with only two marginal sources, a situation faced by many B2B and B2G firms. Unfortunately, a thorough WP:BEFORE search fails to find anything that could redeem it, however, this may be frustrated a bit by the non-unique name. I would particularly welcome anyone who can salvage this article and will happily withdraw this nomination if someone can but, I'm afraid, from where I'm sitting right now -- having exhausted a variety of avenues -- deletion is the only realistic outcome.

  • Leaning keep, or move to draft. I was able to find a reasonable tertiary source (talking more about the president of the entity than the entity itself, but still supporting its history and notability) without too much difficulty on Newspapers.com, which returns enough hits to suggest that sufficient sourcing exists.

The case has been discussed in scholarship of varying calibers[42][43][44][45][46] and is mentioned in a law textbook (pg. 774) [47].

    • WP:LASTING: According to the BBC, the case influenced the UK to change its policy regarding transgender prisoners. [49]
    • WP:GEOSCOPE: The case received coverage from national media, including the Guardian [50], BBC [51], Times [52], Independent [53], Telegraph [54], and Sky News [55].
    • WP:DEPTH: In addition to straightforward reporting on the case, the Guardian published two in-depth articles about why the case happened [56] and its effects on the UK's transgender inmate policy [57].
    • WP:PERSISTENCE: As outlined by Zzz plant, the case has been taken up by multiple academic sources since White's 2018 conviction. The case has also received media coverage since then, e.g. [58] [59]
    • WP:DIVERSE: See WP:GEOSCOPE above.

I honestly don't care what happens to this article, but I do find it rather disingenous when people deliberately remove sources and content prior to nominating for deletion. If the sources are not convincing, you can have a discussion about how the sources and content are not very good, and then !vote to delete or merge or whatever. At the very least, if you've removed sources and stubbed the article, you should state clearly in your nomination that you did so and why; at least that way, it's transparent.
