promotional and non-notable.Probable paid editor rsponsible for a number of similar articles. The references look impressive, but they do not hold up: they are promotional interviews where the person speaks whatever he pleases--and, as can be seen from the titles and confirmed by looking at the text, some of them duplicate.
The various annual Forbes "30 under 30" and similar lists are promotional gimmicks, and do not lead to notability DGG ( talk ) 23:49, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — DGG, couldn’t have said it any better. The whole article is a promotional piece for a subject seeking a Wikipedia presence. Only one source appears to be reliable but they don’t discuss subject with significant coverage. Furthermore undisclosed paid editing might be a factor here as author of this article @Kojomo has two more of such articles on non notable “prominent” businessmen but both thankfully have been declined appropriately by the AFC process.Celestina007 (talk) 00:45, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - ordinarily I would try to argue the Guardian coverage is a good start, but it seems every single piece of independent coverage is tied solely to these rankings in Forbes, etc., not noting any particular notability beyond that. Perhaps a case of too soon, but either way delete. I also couldn't find other sources online to add to what is already on the page. 67.243.20.177 (talk) 22:46, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
CommentCelestina007 That two other articles I created got declined by the AFC process shouldnt mean I am a paid editor as I am not. It should be a case of not meeting the notability requirements which I have openly admitted to DGG but unfortunately I have not had it easy in getting advice and help on how to edit articles better. I know there are articles to read about the guidelines and process, which I have read and tried to adhere to. I enjoy the process of editing Wikipedia pages and I don't think not been successful in one should stop me from trying again.Kojomo (talk) 23:28, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Subject is non-notable. As with various other articles created by the original author, the few sources used are primary sources and the article, while detailed, fails to establish actual notability of the subject. It's almost entirely original research. B.Rossow · talk01:36, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment there is a tiny bit of coverage out there, but most of it is not in-depth. A very deep search might turn up more. The main problem here is that, assuming those sources were found, his very weak notablity would at most sustain a very short article-- not the gigantic indulgent biography that we have here.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:27, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment He is a well known artist, curator and Native American activist in the American Southwest. In collection of the Hood Museum [1]. Unfortunately most of the museums in the Southwest do not have searchable online collection. I will keep looking. Netherzone (talk) 12:56, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment COPYVIO from his bio page [2] is the bigger problem. I just flagged it. I found many passing references in a database search. He was a member of the Indian Group of Seven so I think he has notability, but it has to be a TNT bc of the COPYVIO. --Theredproject (talk) 19:59, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's pretty simple: Joe Sanchez is an important artist in both Canada and in the US. He was also a Curator, then Director of the Indian American Institute of Arts in Santa Fe and has since retired. He is one of only two living members of the "Indian Group of Seven". His works have been shown in many public institutions and shows worldwide. Racist colonialists have been trying to erase First Nations people for hundreds of years, so attempts to erase his page come as no surprise. The truth is, people (and especially First Nations people) want to know his story, and will want to know his story years from now. Why don't we do our research before considering deleting the page of an important cultural figure? If we don't like the quality of the writing, why don't we improve it? He is still alive, why don't we interview him or fact check with him before it's too late?
Please explain: what exactly is the problem with Primary Research? Last time I checked, primary sources were the best ones - no?

Keep Given that the Indian Group of Seven appears to be (I'm not an expert in this area) a notable group of Indigenous painters, and that all the other founding members also have articles to their names, I think that Joseph Sanchez would also merit his own, especially since there is independent coverage about him. Not trying be funny or anything, but it is the Indian Group of Seven, not six. However, I agree that the potential issues with original research and copyright infringement have to be fixed. Alan Islas (talk) 19:39, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Let me start by saying that I am an expert in Canadian First Nations art - this is my major area of study and interest. A bit of background: The Indian Group of Seven are Canadian national icons, and important groundbreaking artists - all seven of them - in fact there was an eighth member by the name of Bill Reid who is a huge figure in Canadian art and very important as well, but never officially showed with the group so is excluded from the so called "Indian Group of Seven" lexicon. I would encourage those not schooled in this area to read "7: Professional Native Indian Artists Inc. Group of Seven: JANVIER RAY MORRISSEAU ODJIG SANCHEZ BEARDY COBINESS" (a show catalog/book that won several awards) and all will become clear (notice the 7 at the beginning of the title). It is not up to Wikipedia authors who are not experts in this field to decide which artists from the group are important, and which are not - as an expert in this area I will thus assert, they are all important. Period. Other experts in this area, should one choose to seek them out whilst performing some primary research, would agree. A bit of history on this article: For the edification of Bearian and other interested parties, I (Misterlobat) started the page in 2009, which was originally a pretty simple, basic, matter of fact entry where one was desperately lacking - after that I pretty much left it to others to work on (please see article history for reference). In or around November 2016, a few massive edits were made by a "josephmsanchez" who now appears to be a defunct user. For all I know it was Joseph Sanchez himself, and based on the amount of detail, it may well have been - who knows - or possibly someone following the huge shows around that time. If any of the text was "lifted" from a non-referenced source, it certainly was not by me. If the article is a "mess" as asserted by Bearian (which in fact it may very well be by Wikipedia standards), then, those who know best how to clean it up, probably should since I believe (as do others) it is an important article about an important cultural figure in Canadian, US, and First Nations art. Disclaimer: I am by no means an expert at Wikipedia editing, and am learning as I go, so of course open to scrutiny and correction by those more schooled in the art of Wikipedia edits. As an aside: I have to admit, I find it laughable that using primary sources in Wikipedia is frowned upon - but hey, that's just one person's opinion coming from a scientific background with over 70 original scientific journal publications to his name. If it's the Wikipedia way, then so be it - rules are rules and made for a reason, which we should all abide by, even ones we disagree with. Please feel free to clean this article up so that it meets or exceeds Wikipedia standards. I caution those who think it should be deleted or merged into a massive, unwieldy Indian Group of Seven page. Big mistake.Misterlobat (talk) 23:27, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm new to WP and to the deletion process, so I went to WP:BIO to look for the notability criteria for people. I don't know what is the minimum number of sources needed to justify "significant coverage". I found 8 secondary sources that I believe to be reliable and independent and that focus on Sanchez. Most of these have pictures of Sanchez and/or his art. I did not include the several sources that merely mention him as part of the Indian Group of Seven. See links below, of course I do not consider this quick online search to be exhaustive:
From the additional criteria Joseph Sanchez most likely meets WP:PROF due to his curatorial career, as Bearian indicated. Finally, I believe he also meets WP:Artist because of his exhibitions and being part of museum collections, as Netherzone pointed to.
This is that last criteria:
"The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums."
Keep - The subject of this article is notable. The sources are out there, and simply need to be added to the article. The copyvio sections can be removed - easily. There is no need to delete or WP:TNT this article. It can be fixed, the notability is there. I suggest that those who found the sources add them to the article pronto, and those who found the copyvios remove them. I would do the copyvio removal, but for some reason, I cannot access the tool I use, which is Earwig's copyvio detector. If there is another tool available, please ping me, or post it on my talk page, and I will take care of the copyvios. The subject of the article is an important, notable Native American artist and curator. Netherzone (talk) 22:34, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Added some sources (and removed one, due to broken link), in particular about exhibitions. Mentioned permanent collection at museum in Portage Collage, and Sanchez' role as chief curator. Added external links section with a couple of links. Alan Islas (talk) 12:35, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deprodded. No evidence of this being a "major feature" that meets GNG; most coverage of "Sand Canyon" is related to a different location East of Santa Clarita. –dlthewave☎23:59, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think I've found the source of confusion. The article describes a Sand Valley in the San Gabriel Mountains, 7 miles East of Santa Clarita GNISGMaps, but the coordinates point to a different Sand Valley 20 miles North of Santa Clarita GNISGMaps. I didn't look closely at the location to the East in my WP:BEFORE search, but it's clearly the intended topic and we should change the coordinates to match it. –dlthewave☎01:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It was what Sand Fire (2016) was named after; presumably it swept through this canyon. Better explanation/illustration/mapping of its geography would be fine, but it helps the other article and is not the same kind of thing, so merger would not make sense. --Doncram (talk) 23:26, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nom Comment This nomination was originally for a different Sand Canyon near the Antelope Valley. I changed the coordinates to match the Sand Canyon described in the article, which is associated with the fire, but I'm not entirely convinced that this one meets GNG either. The fire coverage is just a single event and only tangentially related to the canyon itself; it's possible for a notable event to occur in a non-notable place. –dlthewave☎02:20, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The here-stated multiple instances of the name (are you really sure this is two places, not just one canyon 20 miles long?) means that having an article providing clarity/disambiguation/maybe _two_ articles is all the more important for readers. There are lots of mentions in media where a reader could likely arrive in Wikipedia wanting to know more:
April 26, 1950: "Purina cougar chow — OK. This is the final cattle saga. On this date, a mountain lion tore off half the hide of one of Roy Crocker’s prize Herefords on his Sand Canyon ranch." The Signal, Santa Clarita Valley
Those are just first few of many many hits. This is a needed article or pair of articles or whatever; i am not going further. --Doncram (talk) 08:56, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think you've made a strong argument for keeping the Sand Canyon that's in the San Gabriel Mountains, but there just doesn't seem to be any coverage for the other one. A "not to be confused with" template should suffice. A quick glance at a topo map makes it clear that this is not one long canyon, and in case there was any doubt the GNIS entries also lists a distinct "source" and "mouth" for each one. –dlthewave☎03:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Seriously? I thought personal bios got treated differently than other topics. How is a book article relevant? And, if I am wrong about that, is the criteria now just what was done in the past for any article? Then let me suggest using THIS article I wrote as the criteria... It was deleted (twice), even with 34 citations, including The Atlantic, People and the NYT. And by the way, there is only a single reference (not the two listed above - where did THOSE come from?) used in this article, and it is the subject's own book. And it is used only to support a single paragraph. I have never seen a bio article more in need of an AFD than this one. RobP (talk) 21:05, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We've covered this ground before: Wikipedia is not for bibliographies, and this one is just incredibly complete--and that is the positive spin. Listing every individual article the man ever published is of interest only to specialists, very few specialists. There may well be another project that this will fit in nicely, but we are not it.

The result was redirect to Ishq Mein Marjawan. Redirecting w/o merge tag because the subject article is unsourced. Content undeleted in history should anyone want to attempt to source & merge. ♠PMC♠ (talk)02:27, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Ishq Mein Marjawan - Sigh... For whatever reason, Indian TV show articles never have coherent character descriptions. I think I've seen one in all my years. Instead, people just obsess about how each character is related to another character. The result, is that most Indian TV cast/character lists are pure garbage, containing convoluted information presented between slashes and excessive parentheticals. Details that summarise who the character is and what their role is in the series would intuitively belong in the article. Though I applaud the article creator's efforts, a stand-alone article is not justified. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:07, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Ishq Mein Marjawan, the article is completely unsourced, and fails GNG and WP:PLOT, but I think that goes without saying. Honestly the article is written in such a poor manner that there is really nothing to merge to the main article, since that already suffers from a massively bloated and poorly written plot section that covers her more than sufficiently.

The subject of this article is an Islamic scholar from a notable family of scholars and leaders, but notability is not inherited. At the age of 35 he is certainly not a notable Shia cleric, and he has only been running his own seminary for a couple of years. None of the sources look reliable and sourcing a bio to a letter in the Guardian really is a sign of desperation. There is nothing here to suggest notability so WP:TOOSOON applies. Mccapra (talk) 20:58, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Even though I created this page, I now agree. At this point in his life, he probably isn't notable enough for wikipedia. Ibn Daud (talk) 17:49, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Him being young has nothing to do with his notability. He is the most known Shia speaker in the United States and has established his own seminary. All English-speaking Shia know him! Hadiarchami 04:56, 1 May 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haidarchami (talk • contribs)
Comment whether he is known or not does not help, and starting his own seminary does not make him notable either. If you can find reliable independent sources about him, that’s what we need. Mccapra (talk) 09:15, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage of the event is significant coverage. Not passing mentions. The largest newspaper in Maine covers it every year. Coverage includes critical analysis of Maine VegFest. Example of critical analysis [1]. BrikDuk (talk) 17:19, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unfortuantly, have to agree with User:Namiba. As awesome as VegFest is, it's not notable for an encyclopedia entry. For reference, see WP:GEOSCOPE: "An event affecting a local area and reported only by the media within the immediate region may not necessarily be notable." The list of exceptions to this rule don't seem to apply here, as VegFest is only covered by domestic Maine sources, and has no regional impact that can be backed up with verifiable sources.ClaudeDavid (talk) 03:31, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@BrikDuk: If you have a chance, could you list, say, the three to five most compelling sources that would substantiate notability under WP:NEVENT? I'm seeing a lot of sources exist in the wild but every one that I've seen seems at least borderline ROUTINE, non-independent, etc. Kevin (aka L235·t·c) 08:32, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm pretty sure WP:EVENT doesn't apply to annual festivals. It's clear from the context that it's talking about things that happen once, like a wedding, a crime, or a sporting match.

Weak delete. He seems to have been well known locally but the coverage we have is all local and the accomplishments we can source are minor. There is in-depth coverage of him at this source but it's not very independent (published by his employer) and only one source. Despite searching I didn't find anything better. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:30, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. It doesn't seem like it should be deleted, seems that he has significant effect on field of music education, and he has notable students within the world of music. I have just spent some time now editing, and plan to keep editing this article, as there is much more significant information on him than was initially present in the article upon nomination for deletion. He also seems significant as a historical figure, given his upbringing, achievements, impact on others.--Gim0031 (talk) 09:49, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
weak keep - even after passing his legacy remains strong at the university and through his past students many of whom have gained notoriety doing what he taught them to do. He had a large lasting longstanding impact on the university beyond his facaulty. What is not strong however are the number of references to him outside the state of Indiana. But I'm willing to give that a pass based solely on the incredible impact he had as an ambasadoor for the university, a trailblazer in the community, and the number of quality sources and likely journal entries made of him at Indiana University - one of the largest institutions in north america.Grmike (talk) 00:27, 30 April 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]
Delete I'm not seeing significant independent coverage of him that meets WP:GNG. Notability isn't inherited from having some notable students. Papaursa (talk) 02:30, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I cannot fully access the sources, as most of them are in Estonian. But I just wanted to note that the Forbes article linked above by Pelmeen10 is a "contributor article" which is more like a blog than a magazine article; it does not suffice for notability. BenKuykendall (talk) 07:19, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not only it fails WP:PROMOTION but also fails WP:GNG. "Millionaire" is not enough to describe notability. According to List_of_countries_by_the_number_of_millionaires there are 10'000 millionaires in the country of the subject. Let's be honest, the company is nothing special (there are much bigger and notable companies that are not on Wikipedia). A local wood factory in Siberia can easily earn 1 million USD and may even have interviews in local newspapers or mentions in international websites but it doesn't mean it's worth for inclusion so the argument of money is pointless. The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity. On the outside sources, what we can see is PR organized by the subject's own company. Yes money can buy that, and you can pay to get articles written for you, but it doesn't make you notable. It's very visible by the promotional tone. For example the main source of the Wikipedia article is "Estonian World (press release) (blog)-Oct 27, 2016". No offense if but an article based on press releases and promotional interviews and guests posts, well that's PR and marketing, not encyclopedia content and therefore should be deleted if we don't want Wikipedia to become a PR garbage (especially when the notability is not established by repeated and independent sources). - Userland12 (talk) 12:57, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. PR and self-promotion are certainly valid concerns here, but I think this article just makes it over the GNG bar. I view the Forbes and VentureBeat sources more favorably than some of the other commentators above.

Delete - I took a look at the sources. However, all of them are either passing mentions and advertisements. Kori (@)04:59, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TNT, WP:GNG, WP:NOTWEBHOST, and WP:MILL. It is unclear what he had produced from the state of the current page. The only real source on the page seems to indicate he's some kind of marketing or sales person. If you can fix it, please do and then ping me. Nothing he has done so far is notable. The current information is using a charity as a web-host for some new work product. Producers of all kinds (music, computer software, films, etc.) and sales persons (marketing, sales, advertising, etc.) are considered run of the mill, unless there is very clear words and evidence otherwise, such as awards like an OBE or equivalent.

KEEP Perfect valid list article. Blue links to most of the things on the list, so it aids in navigation, listing things that should logically be grouped together. DreamFocus00:29, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are some fundamental misunderstandings that have led to the keep votes. Lets remove them. The argument that we have a list of numbered comets so why not this? cannot be made here because all comets are numbered comets. There are no comets without numbers. For example take Halley's Comet, it is featured on the list with names, but if we read the lede there it says the designation is 1P/Halley. So this is the first misunderstanding that there are some named comets and some numbered comets. I invite editors to go through Naming of comets for further clarification. The second argument is that it aids in navigation. This is not true, rather it creates misunderstandings and readers get the impression that there are two kinds of naming traditions for comets, while there is essentially one. From this viewpoint the list can fall under WP:HOAX if viewed with enough criticism. The third is a semantic thing. The title of the list is List of comets bearing names. So what are other comets? Bearing no names? Even if there is a number attached to a comet (an that is not the case here, these are not asteroids), is that number not its name? Should there be a list called list of nameless comets? A list of comets bearing names should include all comets ever found but I digress. I invite User:Bearian,User:DGG, user:Andrew Davidson and other to reconsider. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 16:08, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Good point, P/1999 J6 for example is not a nameless comet. But I don't know how to call that kind of name: cryptic name? code name? Or how to call the name Halley's Comet - literal name? I just wanted a list of comets that have some non-cryptic names, I really can't find the right word for that, maybe someone with better English can help? Maybe "List of proper names of comets"? - Avram25 (talk) 19:39, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The full list of comets (with the exceptions of the ones mentioned by AD) have standard numbers. Numbers are one form of nomenclature. Non-standard names are another complementary form of nomenclature. I would not have thought readerswould confuse the two, but from the comments above, it seems that they do. That shouldn't affect keepingthe article--how totitle thearticle can bea separate discussion. DGG ( talk ) 19:52, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning delete - and crypto blogs in there too. But mainly press releases and churnalism - is this the best that can be found even in local coverage? - David Gerard (talk) 14:41, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Original draft was created by paid editor Serghiy Hrabarook, then cleaned up and published by TviziJJskos (a new editor with a few other contributions). Multiple draft versions had also previously been created and deleted. There's lots of news coverage in Thai, though as usual, the independence of the coverage is debatable. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:04, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This is considered a company so must meet WP:NCORP by way of WP:ORGCRIT. While there are a lot of references, they are mainly trade publications, press releases, or unreliable sources. The sources that are reliable are more of less brief mentions or promotional which do not cover the company in-depth. Outside of that, it appears to me like another bitcoin related spam article. --CNMall41 (talk) 06:35, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article appears to be mainly WP:PROMO and does not seem to meet WP:GNG, because it doesn't look like there are multiple references that are independent, significant, reliable and secondary at the same time. It seems to be a lot of WP:REFBOMBING. Article can be kept if notability can be proved, but at this point I'm not convinced.
I did some research into various users contributing to the article discovered quite a few WP:SPA accounts:
Delete: there is some WP:ROUTINE coverage at Finews.ch ([10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]), which could apparently meet WP:RS except for the Advertorials section. It is borderline regarding WP:GNG. I see this company quickly gaining notability if it really manages to get the banking license approved in Switzerland, but at the moment it does not seem to cut it. --MarioGom (talk) 07:42, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. No prejudice against speedy renomination per relatively low participation, as well as per some commentary that does not take a specific stance one way or another regarding notability or lack thereof, and per open-ended statements that do not really say much in terms of the subject's encyclopedic worthiness relative to Wikipedia's notability guidelines. North America100002:25, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment As the creator of the article, I made sure there was in-depth coverage of her from independent newspapers. The Sun-Sentinel, which has many pieces on her, is the main daily newspaper of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I realize the Florida Women's Hall of Fame probably isn't considered a "well-known and significant award or honor" but how does she not pass GNG? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:18, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, she has clearly received coverage from outside of her home city of Fort Lauderdale, such as here: [16] from Palm Beach County, and this: [17] from Fort Walton Beach, on the other side of the State, and this: [18] from Jacksonville. Coverage does not have to be national to establish notability, it just has to be from something other than one local newspaper which published a lot of articles on the same person. Clearly, the sources within the article demonstrate that, and cause this person to pass WP:GNG easily. Devonian Wombat (talk) 00:14, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If the fact that the Caridad Center at Boynton Beach that she co-founded is "Florida's largest free clinic", is verified, then she has a decent claim to notability. I'm not convinced on the GNG argument as it stands with the present sources. Best, PK650 (talk) 22:50, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A non notable actor, no evidence of substantial secondary sources online besides an out of date website from the 2000s, Pahiy (talk) 00:01, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak KeepKeep: There doesn't seem to be much recent coverage of the subject, but going back to the late-'90s/early-2000s, there are lots of newspaper hits which show potential WP:SIGCOV. I'm applying for a source to be clipped and will provide it soon. As for WP:NACTOR, the subject has had some decent roles which, I believe, pass the necessary threshold, and he also has some awards and nominations, which may support WP:ANYBIO. Dflaw4 (talk) 10:29, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Update: Upgrading my vote above on the basis of the subject's Young Artists Awards, which seem to be notable. Thus, WP:ANYBIO appears to be met. I'm applying now at WP:RX for some sources which verify his awards. Dflaw4 (talk) 14:34, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No opinion about whether he's notable or not, but right now, to our readers, this is a WP:BLP without reliable sources, and deletion is therefore required. Sandstein 10:40, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Slapping a bare URL into the "external links" section is not only shoddy editing (that's not what external links are for, and links should be properly formatted), but it is also not the same thing as properly referencing a BLP article. Readers must be able to verify the important and/or controversial facts about a person through inline references (footnotes) accompanying the respective statements in the article. Until you are able to do that, you should stay far away from any BLP articles, or you may in fact face sanctions (WP:BLPDS). Sandstein 16:02, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sandstein, if the article is kept, I will add the references properly. I only did it like this to placate your concerns vis-à-vis unreliably-sourced BLPs, and so that you can strike you vote given that it doesn't address the question of notability. Dflaw4 (talk) 01:57, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment receiving the award is not being coveraed at GNG levels so that is not enough to show notability, and one source is never enough to pass GNG and that is all we have at best adding to GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:22, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete We already know that not everyone had the correct information about the coronavirus. A separate country based article is unnecessary. Wareon (talk) 04:40, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep No valid arguments for deletion. There are two types of arguments for deletion. One type is that which says that the content of the article is fine, but it should exist on other venues. Like the Nom, who says that it is POV fork. What exactly is POV in the title? There is nothing but straight fact. If you think that some of the content is POV then AFD is not cleanup, if it is so much of a POV that it requires complete WP:TNT, I want to read some quotes that you deem irrecoverable. As for the fork part, editors are allowed to create content forks per WP:CFORK. Have you looked at the size of 2020 coronavirus pandemic in India? It is above 9 thousand words and is almost WP:TOOBIG. Same with Misinformation related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic which comes in at a whopping 15 thousand words. I think it is much better to have sepreate articles instead of sending a reader plodding through a hodgpodge of text in one huge article. Then there are the arguments who say that this content should not exist anywhere on wikipedia at all as per WP:NOTNEWS, WP:IINFO or perhaps WP:TRIVIAL. Long term coverage in reliable sources, tens of thousands of google hits on each subheading and the existence of Misinformation related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic proves that this does not come under any of those deletion rationales. The information in this article in niether trivial nor random. Every single incident is related to the topic. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 20:38, 3 May 2020 (UTC) (edited to make it more concise) MistyGraceWhite (talk) 08:45, 4 May 2020 (UTC))[reply]
Now this is what I would as a typical WP:ILIKEIT !vote. Collection of trivial and random information to flesh out an unnecessary article is exactly why it needs deletion. You can write a blog if you feel strongly. Azuredivay (talk) 00:52, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep : Per User:MistyGraceWhite. Most of the content that is now claimed as being FORK was created by me for the original articles. Some content I created for Janata Curfew article were salvaged into 2020 coronavirus pandemic in India when the article was deleted. I reused the same content for creating this India specific article. If mentioning about the fork on the talk page solves the problem, I can easily do that. I don't understand how this becomes POVFORK : none of the respondents above who talked about POV have not mentioned what exactly is the POV they are talking about. I don't think that acknowledging that misinformation exists in the context of COVID-19 counts as POV. India being a large country with huge diversity, there could naturally be more misinformation circulating there than any other country, and such huge volume of misinformation merits the creation of a separate article. --Netha(talk) 14:25, 6 May 2020 (UTC)— Note: Netha Hussain (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion,[19] and is a creator of this article.

@User:Srijanx22WP:COPYVIO is not applicable here, either you have not read the policy or have not understood it, read it again, and again, and then again if possible. WP:SYNTH is about making connections where there are none, this page cannot be called as such as the information on the page is accurate and all of the links are about misinformation. You have misunderstood that policy as well. WP:ADVOCACY? How does that figure in this? The page is not about anything where anyone can have an opinion, it is a listicle type of page honestly. Misinfomration occured, here are the incidents. There is nothing on the page which could have contrasting opinions, it is not like abortion rights or stuff like that. I think you should read the policy pages you quoted once again. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 15:44, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Stop with your personal attacks on users. This article is POVFORK created without attributing wikipedia pages where it copied content from. That violates WP:COPYVIO. You should already realize by now that this AfD is not worth WP:BADGERING every incoming participant. Wareon (talk) 16:06, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@User talk:Wareon What is POV in the fork? The origianl pages are too large anyway. You can give your answer if you can. POV is a certain definable term, so you can point out what is POV in the page. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 16:37, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Important content already exists on the pages linked by the nom. Creating a separate article based on that text is POVFORKING. Wareon (talk) 16:40, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:Wareon Those pages are too large and rules say that they should be forked. I think you are under the impression that pages can never be forked and anything new is a POVFORK. Being a new editor that is understandable. WP:CFORK gives the rules for forking and when forking should always be done. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 16:43, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For that you need consensus. Deceptively creating a new article without attributing the original pages is not how you CFORK. Wareon (talk) 16:48, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Wareon Deceptively? What does that mean? AFD is not cleanup, if the concern is that the page does not link to original pages you can do that with two edits and change your vote to keep. How about that? MistyGraceWhite (talk) 16:59, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@ HAHAHAHAHAHAH. You think that people should notify others before creating a page? I have told you a number of times that the content where it presently exists is making a page too large. So it was split, and there are no opinions or points of view on this page, so there is no POV involved. Good reason for deletion right there, the creator did not tell anyone and just went ahead and created a page. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 17:13, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article is about an album that was released today. When I first reviewed it, it was largely copyvio from the marketing material, and sourced only to a press release and iTunes; I draftified it and suggested to the author that they wait until the album clearly meets NALBUM and better sourcing exists, but they have republished in mainspace, with only YouTube videos from the album label as additional sources. I can't find any indication that it passes NALBUM; I also note with slight concern that its author has never once made an edit to any article that was not concerned with this artist.

The result was keep. There appears to be a general consensus that at least criterion 7 of WP:MUSICBIO is satisfied, with arguments also being made for several others.

Again, 20,000 people attending his show is not not grounds for keep. Please tell me which criterion of WP:MUSICBIO he meets. The subject's only claim to notability is his multiple wins at the VGMA. I did a Google search and did not see him being discussed in independent reliable secondary sources. I already told you I believe Ringier's Pulse Ghana is reliable. Versace1608Wanna Talk?16:13, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
None of these charts are reliable charts; they are all single vendor charts. For your info, South Africa is the only African country (that I know of) with an official music chart. One of his videos getting a million views is not a valid keep criteria, especially when YouTube views can be bought. Can you please tell me which criterion of WP:MUSICBIO he meets? You have failed to show how he meets our notability requirements. To reiterate, his only claim to notability is his multiple VGMA wins. I don't think this is enough; none of the subject's music has been critically reviewed. Versace1608Wanna Talk?17:20, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Versace1608: I think the subject has met criterion of WP:MUSICBIO based on the following reliable and independent sources:
Criteria 2: Ghana music chart #1 in 2020, #1 2019 and #9 in 2017. 4 of his song (icluding those he was featured in) made to top 20 list of the Ghana music chart [29]. This is the biggest music chart in Ghana.
Criteria 7: 2017 Top 10 Northern Ghana’s Artistes. Geographically, Ghana is divided into 2; Northern and southern Ghana. This subject has topped the artist chart since 2017. He was recognized as the face of Zongo community in 2017 up to date.
Criteria 8: The subject has won 3 major international awards; Best Afrobeat Entertainer (2019) and Most Promising Entertainer(2020) at International Reggae & World Music Awards (IRAWMA), Best Male Act (2019) Ghana entertainment Awards (USA) and Best Male Act (2019) at Ghana-Naija Showbiz Awards (Nigeria). He was also Nominated for Best African Group (2018) at All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMMA)
Criteria 12: Being selected by the Government of Ghana and the ministry of communications to perform at a virtual concert on a national TV and radio stations to entertain Ghanaians during Covid-19 lockdown met this Criterion.Shahadusadik (talk) 23:52, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The subject of this article as mentioned earlier filled a 20,000 capacity stadium in Tamale, a city in Ghana. From this information it seems to me the subject wields a considerable amount of influence in the city of Tamale and therefore meets criterion number 7 of WP:MUSICBIO which states that: (The musician or ensemble meets the notability criteria/guidelines if he/she/they) "has/have become one of the most prominent of the local scene of a city." Also, VGMA is the pinnacle of music awards in Ghana and I believe recognition and awards from such a brand should be enough to make a subject from Ghana notable. Kinvidia (talk) 13:23, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Kinvidia: He doesn't meet criterion 7 and your interpretation of said criterion is wrong. How exactly does performing to 20,000 people equate to being the "the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city"? What notable style of music is Fancy known for? He isn't the pioneer of any kind of fusion genre. The city of Tamale doesn't have any specific type of music scene, so how excatly is Fancy Gadam a prominent member of a local scene that does not exist? Can you backed any of these claims with reliable sources? Versace1608Wanna Talk?15:55, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If I may quote you "The city of Tamale doesn't have any specific type of music scene". Now you are an expert on Tamale as well it seems. Several independent reliable sources have been mentioned here. You have your personal interpretation of what is reliable and what is not. For a country that does not publish official charts different chart sources have to be taken into consideration. I was giving several of them. --Gereon K. (talk) 16:52, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Fancy Gadam is a notable subject and musician from Ghana especially the Northern part of Ghana Tamale to be precise. The subject has significant coverage in both Ghanaian and foreign media like Graphic.com.gh and voanews.com. Fancy Gadam has had sold out shows in Tamale and Accra. This is an article about the music scene in Tamale [32].Owula kpakpo (talk) 00:55, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Critieria 7 of WP:MUSICBIO the subject is a prominent example of the music scene in Tamale and the Northern Region (Ghana) and as per Criteria 8 has also won a major national music award. WP:MUSICBIO states a subject has to meet one of the criteria - I count four so far. There was already a keep decision back in 2017 - why has the article been nominated again?

This discussion is about this topic, not "every single work of the author". I added evidence of notability two weeks ago in this edit. Is the nominator aware that Rabindranath Tagore is a Nobel Prize winner and probably the foremost poet that there has ever been in South Asia, the equivalent of, for example, William Shakespeare? Of course the article can be expanded, but if all of Tagore's works are squeezed into his article there will not be room for such expansion within Wikipedia's size guidelines.

@Ssilvers: I'm not sure what "claiming notability" would look like exactly—few of our article say "x is notable because..."—but I think the quotation from Tagore that I've added to the lede, on the significance of the play within his oeuvre, might address this concern. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 21:40, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Point #5 of WP:BK is clearly met: Tagore is a Nobel laureate and arguably the most significant figure in Indian literature. That criterion doesn't require that we have articles for every book he ever wrote, but those, such as this, where a measure of sourcing can be found should certainly be kept. The sources currently in the article, all of which are high-quality academic books, may well also be sufficient to satisfy WP:GNG and point #1 of WP:BK. It strikes me as likely that sources in Indian languages, which I'm not able to find as I only speak English, will also exist. Given Tagore's prolific career, it isn't reasonable, as the nominator seems to suggest, to discuss each of his works in his article. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:35, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnpacklambert: I've expanded the article somewhat, though it's still a stub (someone with access to the full Bhattacharya chapter could expand it further, I think). You're of course entitled to still feel it's non-notable, but it no longer "tells us nothing". – Arms & Hearts (talk) 21:40, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't even tell us if the play was ever produced, if so, what theatre(s) it was produced in, when, and how long the production(s) ran. If it was not produced, or produced only a few times for relatively short runs, then it should simply be mentioned in the playwright's article concerning his development as an artist. As for Rabindranath Tagore, he was not, like Shakespeare for example, so important that he is a required subject of study for most students who read English Wikipedia, or even Confucius who, y'know, everyone has heard of. -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:35, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I beg to differ with your assessment of Rabindranath Tagore. He was every bit as important to Bengali, and wider South Asian, literature as William Shakespeare was to English literature or Confucius to Chinese. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:57, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:HEY and Arms & Hearts' excellent additions. The play has been discussed in academic literature, including an entire book chapter. As Phil Bridger says, comparing non-Western authors to Shakespeare is likely to be a sign of bias, because there aren't a lot of Bengali authors who "y'know, everyone [in the West] has heard of." — Toughpigs (talk) 14:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There may well be works by Tagore that lack notability because they’ve never been discussed in critical literature in English, Bengali or Hindi, it they must be pretty few and far between. We may well not need an article on every single thing he ever wrote, but these will be edge cases rather than the norm. A simple BEFORE search shows an abundance of discussion of this work in RIS.

The result was delete. The WP:OR arguments are compelling. Christian theology is a difficult and often controversial subject that needs high-quality, scholarly secondary sources, not citations directly to the Bible and what look like WP:SPS religious websites of uncertain provenance. Sandstein 18:16, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Duplication of the list at List of Old Covenant saints in the Roman Martyrology, with the only addition being unsourced speculation about their lives. Even if proper sourcing were to be provided for each of these figures, the birth/death dates for virtually all of these figures are unknown or contested, making the value of a chronological list dubious. I was originally in favor of just restoring the redirect, but given that the target is not a chronological list and my argument against such lists I'm simply in favor of deletion at this time. signed, Rosguilltalk01:03, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The article as it currently stands is about 'old testament saints' not about 'old covenant saints in the roman martyrology'. The former includes all people in the Old Testament regarded as saints, including those in the Catholic church, the Orthodox church, the Armenian church, the Coptic church, etc. The latter includes those people who are recognized officially within the roman martyrology issued by the diocese of Rome and not including all saints honoured within the Catholic church. They are essentially not the same thing and a redirect is unjustified. This article forms a part of the series of articles 'chronological list of saints...' for which there is one in every century after Christ and there is this one prior to Christ. If you go and look at those articles, you will also find that virtually none of the entries have direct sources on them and there are also some examples of people on those lists too that have approximate or unknown dates, approximate or unknown places.
Could you provide some example of what you think is 'unsourced speculation'? The places of birth and death are recorded in the bible itself for many of them, for others they come from tradition that goes back thousands of years. The ages are based on scholarly estimates widely available for when certain figures, if they existed, are thought to have been placed.
The purpose of providing a chronological list is that it gives a reference for people which is useful. They cannot be given exact dates, because exact dates do not exist and the existence of many of these people to begin with is also contested. I don't see any reason, however, why it would be that providing people with no information at all and deleting it entirely is serving a better purpose within an encyclopedia than providing them with approximate figures. Reesorville (talk) 01:16, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify - It's a different topic from the attempted redirect point, as there's no single list of saints in Christianity, different denominations have different lists, qualifications for sainthood, etc. However, it's incomplete at the moment, far from complete, and needs citations for verification. In response to the point that an exact chronology cannot be presented, a rough one can be made. The various Old Testament (and apocrypha in the case of the Maccabean era figures) give a general outline of chronology, and if need be, it can be divided into eras, which would be acceptable for figures whose years of birth and death are not known. It's a good topic, but the current article isn't ready for the mainspace yet. Hog Farm (talk) 03:51, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think maybe some explanation here is required for where the times come from. The bible itself has a chronology in it which is referenced to particular reigns of kings or particular events that occurred. Some of these things are known to history outside of the bible and scholars have fairly good proximations of when they think they occurred. For example, the Chaldeans conquering Jerusalem is widely believed among scholars to have likely occurred in the early 6th century BC. This event is recorded in the bible and the prophet Jeremiah is presented as being an adult of many years by the time this happens. Therefore, writing that he was born in the 7th century and that he died in the 6th century is not a mere 'wild guess' by any stretch. Scholars will cast doubts on how accurate the narrative is to actual history, but it would be out of place in this article to write out the entire debate on the issue.
Similarly, the reigns of kings of Judah and Israel are recorded in exact years going backwards from the Babylonian captivity up to the time of King Saul. Using those dates as recorded in the narrative, you come up with possible times for the births and deaths of all the figures mentioned during that period. Similarly, this is also true of the judges prior to the kings. The number of years that the Israelites are in Egypt prior to Moses is also given as well, as are the ages of the Patriarchs. Historians have doubts about how accurate this text is to actual history, as they also have doubts about whether these people even existed to begin with. However, as it stands this list is simply just providing a reference for what is typically accepted as the dates, given the above criteria and I don't think it is useful in the article itself to try to present that debate, since it is simply a list.
If there is something that needs citation, then I think this would be easy to provide, but so far there is no one here who is actually giving a specific example of what that would be. Again I also point out that virtually none of the entries for the other lists in this series (Chronological list of Saints...) provide citations for their entries either. If this was a change that required weeks to complete, then perhaps making it into a draft has a case for it, but given that I think it would perhaps take just a matter of hours (or even minutes) to pull out these references, I don't think this would make sense. In fact Reesorville (talk) 14:49, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I also should point out again, that this article is just one section of a series of lists and this deletion page is identifying one section of the list for deletion - if including different denominations cannot be included, then the entire series should be deleted: Chronological list of saints and blessedsReesorville (talk) 14:49, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have now provided a list of citations for most entries on the list. If further is needed, please write a specific request on the talk page. Reesorville (talk) 14:55, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Reesorville, if the citations were to RS providing exegesis of the texts in question I for one would be satisfied. I don't think that citing the Bible directly is sufficient, as that goes against our OR policy. signed, Rosguilltalk18:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Is it OR if the text itself is specifying the person lives in such and such time period or during such and such event, and we simply just tie that to a century using our chronology based on facts that are widely known? I believe I can cite other sources if needed, but one should know that they are doing the same connection as in those notes I included at the bottom of the page. But again how is this grounds for deletion? You could have simply just put this as a discussion in the talk page? Reesorville (talk) 18:23, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly I was mostly just trying to meet you halfway with my previous comment. I maintain my reservations about whether this list is appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia, but at least if it was supported by reliable sources then it would be more encyclopedic. Part of my concern is that it's not clear that there actually is a consensus among reliable sources as to when various Biblical figures may have lived––if sources do not agree on the chronology, then we don't have any business making a list of it, since making sense of the conflicting dates would be nigh impossible in table form. One possible solution would be to narrow the scope of the article to a specific religious tradition: rather than pretending to represent information about Christianity writ large (or even actual history, as the current framing does not make this explicit), it could specifically document one religious tradition's understanding of the chronology, furnished with appropriate sources documenting that tradition's understanding of the figures listed.
As for citing the Bible directly, my understanding of the issue is expressed at WP:RSPSCRIPTURE: it is original research to cite the Bible or any other religious scripture directly as they are primary sources, and particularly difficult and controversial primary sources to boot. signed, Rosguilltalk18:48, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is no consensus from a scholarly perspective that most of these people existed at all. However, from the perspective of faith traditions that follow the bible, there is a wide consensus of rough time periods that the biblical narrative was placing them in. There is no disagreement that the book of Daniel is putting the prophet Daniel during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar; there are many people who doubt that Daniel was even a real person or that that story occurred, and many who think that the book was written in a later period... but there is no disagreement that the narrative itself is suggesting that Daniel lived in Nebuchadnezzar's time period. I think the same paradigm is true of the majority of the other figures on the list. Given that this is a list within the wider scope of Chronological List of Saints and Blesseds which is recording a list of people who have been recognized as saints, I don't think there is a need to consider the issues of actual historicity of these figures, but rather just to put down the information as the biblical narrative would hold it. For some figures, the timelines are more contested and you can find differing opinions on things like when Jonah supposedly lived, since there are scant details in the narrative to reference; for this you may have a case that the list is problematic for them, however, I am sure that there is a way to find a solution to this other than deleting the entire article. Reesorville (talk) 19:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also I will point out if you would look the individual articles on Wikipedia for these particular individuals, a lot of them actually include these dates within their text for positing when these figures supposedly lived. Reesorville (talk) 19:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
1) The articles in the series Chronological list of saints and blesseds include individuals recognized as saints in different denominations, hence why would we need to limit the scope of this article to a single denomination? Those pages are also not restricted to a single denomination and they also include figures that are questioned historically 2) The denominations that recognize these figures to be saints have disagreements about many things, but there are no serious disagreements about most of the basic facts on this simple list as it is presented. The denominations the recognize these figures to be saints include Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodoxy, Anglicans, Lutherans and a few others - none of them are contesting things like Isaiah was supposedly living at the time of Hezekiah or that Moses was supposedly born in Egypt 3) there are historical questions about the existence of many of these persons, but that is outside the scope of this article or of this series of articles. If necessary, a simple note could be added to the top that says something like 'the actual historicity of these figures is contested by scholars, but the following is a list of old testament figures considered to be saints and details concerning them' 4) The fact that most of the dates and locations are not contested regarding the characters as presented in the bible (as opposed to the actual historical persons) is not only proven by the bible itself and by outside sources, but Wikipedia's own pages on these biblical figures use these same dates and locations for their supposed existence. 5) Deleting this page would basically amount to deleting one part of a series arbitrarily, and without explanation as to why this page should not exist but all the other pages for later centuries should. As I already wrote above, those pages are also not restricted to a single denomination and they also include figures that are questioned historically. Why is it that this series should not be allowed to include a page for saints of this particular period? Reesorville (talk) 15:22, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have no doubt that the article author is making an entirely good-faith attempt at an article but there is no way to save this on WP:OR grounds. The only possible source for such a "chronology" is faith-based interpretations of religious text. The Bible is indisputably a primary source for its own claims. All analyses and interpretive or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary or tertiary source, and must not be an original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors.Eggishorn(talk)(contrib)03:49, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This really isn't an issue: there is no claim written in the text that can't be found in secondary sources. The point I made was that those sources are doing nothing different than just using the details mentioned in the bible for placing them. Furthermore, I point out again that the dates and times on the article are already found throughout Wikipedia on the pages for these particular figures - they are not contested. Reesorville (talk) 11:15, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Reesorville:, I don't think you meant to do so but you just pointed out that the "secondary sources" really aren't. If they "...are doing nothing different than just using the details mentioned in the bible..." then they are not actually secondary sources. I.e., they are not performing independent ...analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources... and aren't adding anything as sources. As to the presence of these items in other articles, please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS; just because they haven't been challenged elsewhere doesn't mean that they are appropriate in a compiled article.

Comment. I don’t think he’s really an academic, he’s a theologian and spiritual leader who taught in a seminary. For me the question is how senior he was. We regard all Christian bishops in major denominations as notable and I think he was equivalent to that, as he was Grand Ayatollah Khamenei’s appointee in Mashhad. I think this makes him approximately like a Catholic Cardinal, but someone better versed in the hierarchy of Shia Islam may say otherwise. Mccapra (talk) 15:32, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - clearly fails WP:PROF as an academic. Even if you assume away that he is not an academic, but rather a teacher and cleric, he fails WP:GNG and my own standards. There's no book or news clip that calls him a notable teacher. He's not a mufti, ayatollah, nor mullah; nor did he mentor such a person. There is no evidence he had the equivalent position as a bishop or chief rabbi. If you can find such evidence, put it in the article, and ping me.Bearian (talk) 20:57, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Ok, I admit I am an amateur Wikipedia editor, however, do I have to copy-paste from the references? Because I fail to understand how a senior editor like Bearian can claim Morvarid is not a "teacher", "ayatollah", or "mullah", and ignore the references placed in the article. Please see [1][2][3].

Delete, the League of Ireland Premier Division is not a fully professional league per WP:FPL, and therefore he does not pass NFOOTY. The one source in the article does not even mention his name, and as such he does not pass GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 12:31, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Another round of California "Places", all of the isolated buildings in forests on the topo maps with little to no trace on aerials and nothing significant on searches except possibly passing references as, well, places, typically as if they were homesteads. The articles are all the most basic sort of GNIS dump and make no claims to notability. Mangoe (talk) 11:31, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The M's are all properties, and Old Red Rock Place came up only once in a search and may not be a property but I'm not sure what it is. Further proof GNIS isn't reliable. SportingFlyerT·C15:27, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - More ranches mislabeled as populated places. Since these are/were obviously just ranches, they shouldn't be kept in the "unincorporated communities" template. –dlthewave☎03:12, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment With regards to the keeping of redlinks in the template, either these are real unincorporated communities, and should be kept regardless of the current state of the article (as AFD is not cleanup and they would pass GEOLAND in that case), or they're not, in which case they should be deleted and removed from the template. Deleting them but keeping the redlinks in the template makes no sense. I'd need to do more research to determine which it is. Smartyllama (talk) 14:04, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Per the GNG-based arguments; a lot of the keep arguments are not based on policy or guideline (there has never been a project-wide consensus that Wikimedia-related articles are exempt from the normal notability guidelines) but the GNG based keeps stand. Further discussion on moving or redirecting can occur elsewhere, but there is clearly no consensus for deletion. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:22, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Awards have to meet WP:GNG. I don't see how it does. The award is occasionally mentioned in biographies of people who got it, and in news mentioning them, but I can't find any independent source discussing the award, it's significance, or such. The best source out there is [107], and when our best source is a niche online-only newsletter, well... At best, I can suggest a merge with Wikimania. (Btw, if someone asks "why don't just suggest a merge", well, this was 'kept' in an AfD few years ago so I think it is the best venue to discuss the future of this article). PS. Also relevant is the older Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikipedian of the year. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here11:11, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Instant keep Wikimedia movement constantly needs promotion (for the sake of Wikipedia) and Wikimedian of the Year is a good means of that promotion, and Wikipedia article about Wikimedian of the Year is a good means for the needed promotion with all of the necessary conditions provided including international mass media coverage for many years. --ssr (talk) 15:17, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
KeepWP:GNG is just a guideline which explicitly expects that there will be "occasional exceptions". This is an appropriate exception because we can verify the facts of the matter ourselves. Andrew🐉(talk) 17:52, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You think the people here need to be reminded about rules? How about WP:5P? Wikipedia is not about "rules", Wikipedia is about doing our common goal which you try to interrupt by breaking existing WP:CONS and making WP:GAME. --ssr (talk) 04:59, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly no "good faith" here. Good faith is keep the article and praise it. What are you trying to accomplish? Prevent falsehood? Keep readers off lies? What is your 2nd try for? What is your purpose in terms of "good faith"? --ssr (talk) 09:00, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Wikimania, only one source here can contribute to notability, the rest are either passing mentions, primary sources and syndicated content from Wikipedia itself, none of which contribute to GNG. Keep votes are nothing more than flagrant disregard for encyclopedic standards. Devonian Wombat (talk) 07:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
And I suppose you are the supreme arbiter of what people want to see since you seem to consider your opinions superior to the established consensus that decides notability. Devonian Wombat (talk) 10:14, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Week keep. With the current policies, it's notable. Ideally, Wikipedia should not have articles about itself and other Wikimedia projects in the main namespace. This includes articles about J. Wales, L. Sanger, WMF, F. Nibart-Devouard, S. Gardner, K. Maher, Wikinews, Q42, Wikimania, Essjay controversy, and many other things. But it's not in the current notability policies, so this article is eligible to be kept. (Possible conflict of interest: I stood on the stage in Haifa, helping Mr. Wales change the slides while he was announcing his first Wikipedian of the Year award.) --Amir E.

Keep He is a notable person. There is significant coverage of him as a person. The content from the early years section of the bands article should be merged into this article. (I have copied it over, but left it there also until this AFD is closed.) At worst, this title should redirect to the article on the band, it should not be deleted. ~ GB fan12:23, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - is the lead singer of a notable band and has himself a significant social media following which fulfills one of the main criteria for notability. He is the main piece of the bandGrmike (talk) 14:26, 29 April 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]
Keep There's no policy-based rationale for deletion proposed here. The band's article is about the band. The person's article is about the person. If they are both notable (and so far no-one has suggested otherwise) then they should both have articles. Meters (talk) 21:33, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I think the subject passes WP:NACTOR, with either main or supporting roles in a number of notable films, like Palindromes (film). The subject is currently getting media attention due to his unfortunate premature death, but I would expect there to be more sources out there too. I'll try to find more. As it is, I don't think deletion is necessary. Dflaw4 (talk) 01:15, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. Bordering on keep. Contrary to my own (now struck) first impression, this seems to be a topic discussed in reliable sources, which would give the "keep" arguments more weight, but most opinions on both sides remain rather superficial and do not discuss the sources that have been found or that are currently in the article. Sandstein 10:36, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:TNT is an essay, not a policy or guideline. The relevant guidleine is WP:NOTDUPE which explains that "arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion". Andrew🐉(talk) 09:09, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:NOTESAL, "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been." So it is false to claim that we cannot include applicable examples beyond such groupings or sets. If deemed helpful by consensus, we can limit them in some way with specific inclusion criteria for the given topic. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me)18:51, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep since the list topic satisfies WP:NOTESAL. I have no issue with paring down this list to sourceable instances, but I oppose the lazy-essay WP:TNT because the page history can be preserved and linked to so listings can be reinserted with sources. Below are a few more group/set sources:
It is not "random" when reliable sources group such characters together. Furthermore, requiring "impact, reception or analysis" sounds like requiring each character to have standalone notability, and that is not a requirement for all lists. Here, it is common to have lists of characters from a given series who are not notable on their own. It is appropriate enough for the work that contains the character to be notable itself (and the works in the above sources are notable). Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me)21:04, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Random list. There doesn't seem to be any reliable source that I could find that groups them in the way the list article does. Maybe "Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom in Doctor Who" or "Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom in Torchwood", but so all encompassing. If the subject is worthy a of a list article, it should be broken down into such categories and then maybe have a "list of lists of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom in fictional worlds" or something, but this is to much. It's just not coherent and it isn't covered in reliable sources the way it is. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is not a "random list" if there are reliable sources grouping such fictional characters together. Furthermore, complaining about how the article looks, as "too much" and "the way it is" supposedly not sourceable does not matter per WP:NEXIST because sources grouping such characters exist outside Wikipedia. The article can thus be cleaned up with using these existing sources. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me)11:35, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, things are things when they are things. Obviously. I don't really get what your point is. As I said, there isn't any source that groups them this way. So, WP:NEXIST isn't relevant. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:59, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are plenty of reliable sources available to establish notability for this subject and allow for future improvements. I also agree with Andrew Davidson that the comparison made by the nominator is the wrong one... — HunterKahn13:40, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Although I have had issues with this list which I have previously raised on its talk page, this is a notable subject and potentially a useful article that people are likely to search for. Moreover I agree with the point raised that the nominator's comparison does not really hold for this article. Dunarc (talk) 23:01, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The existence and nature of fictional depictions of holders of substantial offices is a worthwhile topic for encyclopedic coverage, and is accomplished in such a list. BD2412T04:17, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTADVICE and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Possibly a copyright violation as well, but I cannot access the sources to confirm that. This article is an unsalvageable mess that seemingly only exists for the purpose of breaking as many of Wikipedia's guidelines on articles as possible. Devonian Wombat (talk) 07:11, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify (the original) unless sufficiently repaired during this AFD: From the article history of the original, it's probably not a copyvio, or at least not an unredeemable one. It's obviously not in a state to remain in mainspace, but there's an article that does belong in mainspace which uses the information currently in the article, probably titled Lauhut dialect and which should be linked from Hlai languages and Template:Kra–Dai languages. See links from Template:English_dialects_by_continent for examples of what the article could be. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~14:25, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, very obviously keep. The grammar of a language is a perfectly valid encyclopedic topic (we've already got over a hundred of these). This article is a descriptive (not prescriptive) grammar, so NOTADVICE cited above is irrelevant. As far as I can see, it has all the things you'd expect to see in a grammar article, and none of those you wouldn't. I've had a look at a few sections, and they were well sourced and sensibly written. Yes, a light touch of copyediting might be necessary here and there, and the article could certainly be improved by a trim down of some of the examples (if they're so many they might overwhelm the reader), a shortening of the section headings, and the addition of a summary at the beginning of each section. Oh yes, and it should be renamed to Has Hlai grammar or something similar. But that's all work that can easily be done in mainspace. – Uanfala (talk)12:11, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and cleanup. This article is indeed a complete trainwreck in terms of both content and formatting (some serious cutting down is needed), but the current sourcing is enough to establish notability, and deletion is not cleanup. (Uanfala refutes the "INDISCRIMINATE" and "NOTADVICE" claims better than I could.) There may be issues with copyright, but until someone actually checks the sources for them, that is irrelevant. This should also not be draftified because that would only serve to hide the content from potential cleaners. Glades12 (talk) 14:46, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The topic is notable. The article needs a lot of tidying and trimming. I’ve no way of knowing if there’s a copyvio-if there is that would obviously change things. Can a Chinese speaker advise? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mccapra (talk • contribs) 06:30, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify. Languages are presumed notable but this needs some trimming and vetting via reliable sources first. I won't oppose a plain keep, but it makes me wary. If we can help, please ping me. Bearian (talk) 20:44, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep NOTADVICE has no relevance to a descriptive grammar article and the reference to INDISCRIMINATE is just plain baffling. The only point of contention in the nomination that has any merit is the tone but the "not" that is much more appropriate to this discussion is WP:NOTCLEANUP. There is therefore no actionable argument for deletion and it should be kept and improved. Eggishorn(talk)(contrib)03:40, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well the article is based on a specific industry, Companies and IT industry are not covered by List of companies of Bangladesh and Information technology in Bangladesh here only mention the most renowned names, there is an example already exists, similar page of List of software companies in India. The REVE Systems is not exactly the software company you can tell them an IT company because their main work is Telecommunication Software which is more specific than General software companies so there is no indiscrimination done with them. It is hard to provide revenue reference because it is confidential yet but I research by their employee size and partnership with international companies, all companies are software exporters that's why they are on the list. Here are the top 50 only among 800 companies and the market size of more than 1+B, so definitely all pages will be created soon. You can visit the official website for the list Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services. The article is more update you can check it.
Ataul55 (talk) 06:39, 05 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am working on it very soon the pages will be created. I am associated with a software company and doing some citations for it, not the meaning of spam I will give you a valid reason. Yes, I know that Wikipedia is not a directory. Among 800+ and a total, more than 1000+ companies exist from only 50+ companies not mean it is a directory it clearly means that top companies. List of companies of Bangladesh page already holds 143 companies list. Until complete the project please hold on, then judge as neutral I will appreciate you. --Ataul55 (talk) 1:16, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Self promotion article that fails WP:GNG. References 1, 3, and 10 are from IMDB. References 5, 8, 9, and 11 are from his Facebook page. References 2, 4, and 7 are YouTube videos and Reference 12 is an article by New York Media that's about him allegedly being victimized by Kevin Spacey.

Delete Fails WP:NPOL. I actually draftified this article about a week ago because of notability and COI issues. Interestingly it looks like a new account was able to pick up where the last editor left off after the last one refused to answer COI requests. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:08, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable for the purposes of WP:NPOL, the article is written very much like an advertisement (and a badly written one at that, "Former National Secretory" he said), and the sources are not strongly enough about him to get him over WP:GNG.

Keep – Just by searching the artist's name, she has been featured on reputable sources such as Vanity Fair, MTV News, Elle, i-D, Billboard, Clash, and People. Despite her article not including several of these sources, she is notable enough to warrant her own article as per WP:BIO. While her songs have not charted on any notable charts, WP:SINGER states that the artist may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria, satisfying criteria 1 and 10. Looking at WP:SUBNOT, several sources have independently covered her work, including V Magazine, Billboard, Music Talkers, and Idolator. Deleting the article solely because of poor chart performance only negates the purpose of WP:N, which has been extensively covered in detail. The sources I have included here can supposedly be added in the article so that it clearly establishes notability from both WP:SINGER and WP:N. — Angryjoe1111 (talk) 09:00, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep In a fair world this would be a delete, as this is little more than the offspring of two TV industry players who, through those connections, has parlayed it into a minor modeling career and even lesser recording efforts. There is no accomplishment that merits encyclopedic importance. And yet, the requisite press and attention that comes with this territory has been dutifully conferred, especially spiking with COVID-19 coverage and her unfortunate connection. Per wikipedia criteria, the RS coverage is there, per the keep vote above, and also prior AfD nominations that resulted in "keep." The article could certainly benefit from being expanded, although there is not much "meat" in the coverage. ShelbyMarion (talk) 12:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have been working on the article entire day and intend to add more data within next few days. I hope it does not harm anyone to have such an article here and for many fans, perhaps even commentators, it might serve as an very useful overview with added statistical value. Especially in the future. Penepi23:35, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Who 'we'? Does the article hurt you? Do you need to think about it every day and cannot sleep because of it? But okay, I do understand there needs to be some rules. But at least the Tehelné pole article is not a directory of every single match. It also contains statistical data, and as I stated above I will add more of them. I am sure some users will definitely find the article useful. Penepi11:53, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Unimportant information" is a merely subjective opinion, in the first place. Then also why don't you delete, for instance, "2019–20 ŠK Slovan Bratislava season" article, or basically all articles related to specific season of a sports club? Those, too, are important "only to a small population of enthusiastic fans of the subject in question". I believe the article does not offend anyone, and besides spending quite some time on it, it will have an added value in the future when looking at historic statistics, which cannot be found anywhere else now.

Seasons for football clubs like Slovan Bratislava are notable because they pass WP:NSEASONS. This list is different because it can't really be considered notable and is purely just WP:LISTCRUFT. Every match in the list is already compiled in more notable articles like the season articles, for example. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 03:55, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If (well, when) these get deleted, if the closer could please move the Stadium Australia table to my userspace, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! SportingFlyerT·C20:01, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand why you think the Stadium Australia list could be considered notable. Many multi-purpose or traditional non-football stadiums hold matches from time to time, so I don't see what makes Stadium Australia so special in particular. Especially considering in Australia, many stadiums that hold Aussie rules, cricket, and rugby matches also hold association football matches and the sport is fairly popular in Australia.

Stadium Australia only holds soccer matches occasionally, and when it does, the soccer matches it holds tend to be major, such as the Olympic Games finals, the Asian Cup finals, or major World Cup qualification matches such as the inter-continental playoffs. It's especially noteworthy considering the large number of smaller rectangular stadiums in the Sydney area also capable of hosting football matches, one of which was functionally soccer-specific until its recent demolition. I don't understand why you would consider this cruft, but cruft is typically a different word for WP:IDONTLIKEIT. It needs a single source (a secondary list of games) and a bit of prose to pass WP:NLIST. I've only done a simple source search but can look through some of my Aussie soccer sources soon.

Stadium Australia is the 2nd largest stadium in the country and the largest in Sydney; double that of the 2nd largest in the city: the Sydney Cricket Ground. Of course it would be used for large events like the Olympics or major Australia national team matches. Also, how can you equate CRUFT to IDONTLIKEIT? IDONTLIKEIT is for baseless arguments. CRUFT is used to stop the encyclopedia from having non-notable circlejerk articles that are of arbitrary importance, and are at best, only deserve a small section in a much grander topic.

Cruft is in the eye of the beholder, similar to IDONTLIKEIT. I can't really argue for or against CRUFT in the same way I can't argue against IDONTLIKEIT, as they're not objective. The objective argument I can make: The articles you nominated here violate WP:NOT. Of those three, one, the Stadium Australia article, can be salvaged with a bit of research. You yourself admit the matches there would be of general importance, and I've just gone ahead and converted the list of important soccer matches staged at the stadium from list format into prose at the Stadium Australia article - it would likely be a valid fork, and the table would be appropriate within that fork. The other two cannot be salvaged, as they are stadiums which host football matches first and foremost, and listing every football match there would get us into a database/directory area.

The matches are of general importance because they are notable sporting events and they are already listed on club season articles, national teams results lists and international competition articles, not because they were played at a specific stadium. Just because a football match is played at a multipurpose or non-football stadium, doesn't make the match any more important. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 14:48, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Contrary to the above claim, in previous discussions attempts to create a list of competitions whose national level winners are default notable have been specifically rejected. We need sourcing on the individual, and it is lacking in this case.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:21, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete: Overuse of external links, plus the phrase The RoboPlus software is available free to the public for use with the DXLs, and can be found on the ROBOTIS Download Page sounds like it's coming straight from a TV ad. Could be potentially notable, but given the lackluster formatting and highly promotional tone, it's safe to say this one's an ad. dibbydib (T ・ C)06:18, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. While there might be some coverage in some niche WP:RS, I'm not finding it. Even if it is potentially notable, this article needs to go per WP:TNT. --Kinut/c00:55, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A zillion YouTube views, and apparently not a single respectable source in sight to base an article on. It's not the easiest thing to search for, but I'm not coming up with anything. And no, Diamond certification alone doesn't do it - we still need the substantial independent coverage... --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:15, 14 April 2020 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:15, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The song is a Top 30 hit in Belgium and France. It's certified "Diamond" in France. The YouTube link shuld be placed somewhere instead of considering it as a reference. I even found a few sources about the song: [110], [111], [112] and [113]. These sources are reliable enough for the article to pass WP:NSONG. My vote stands.

Well, your "vote" may stand a little lonesome. Source #2 might be up to something, if one could get around the paywall, but the rest are pretty worthless. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 02:57, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect - This song should probably be discussed in context over at 'L'Algérino', the artist's page, since while being well-known it still hasn't attracted much in the way of reliable source coverage. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 01:37, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect Not really sure what difference the song charting makes to notability, but it would still probably be better talked about in the artist's article instead of having it's own. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:44, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, I am not proposing a merge. The list of honorees is not encyclopedic and a description of the hall of fame already exists in the section I linked to. We should preserve the title and categories of this page; nothing more. pburka (talk) 18:19, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete its a non-noteworthy bare list with no additional text or references. I also opposes combining it with the North Dakota Fighting Hawks, as it would be again a non-noteworthy wall of text, or redirecting it, as it would only keep this blank list without improving.
