Keep "Flying" and "Better" are also notable songs on this album. His live performance of "Better" has 2.3M views on YouTube and "Flying" has 1M views. Most of the tracks on this album are Cody Fry's more popular songs. Billybob2002 (talk) 17:43, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep merge: Beyond the success of individual songs on the album, I've found at least a handful of news stories on the album. It's marginally notable, but notable. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:43, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Of course. Sorry for not including them initially! Atwood Magazine was the initial source that gave me optimism about a keep, but looking at the other sources, they're all campus newspapers.

The article has many issues for a BLP and feels like a WP:SPIP. The article already has a resume-like alert and the puffery alert (which is dated from 2021).
I would also argue that on the notability of this subject. This person's notability is not inherented to them by association with their company. The company is notable and has high quality representation in Wikipedia.
There are also a number of details that are not cited in this article and our major issue for BLP. Many of the citations also do not match facts in the source (example: cite in personal life). One source is just "Department of Construction Management & Civil Engineering" without any sort of information to detail whether this source is a publication, a website, etc.

Delete per WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:NACTOR. The only allegation of notability is that he's related to two other actors. It's refreshing to see that Hollywood is not the only acting world with nepotism.

Most likely not per WP:NBIO. References linked either don't mention the subject at all or offer very trivial mentions. A quick Google search shows little-to-no coverage. There's no reason for this article to exist on its own. Clearfrienda💬23:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merely having an actor portray him is insufficient for WP:NBIO. The credit is for "Young Ammon Jeffs" in a single episode; it may not even be a speaking part. The documentary would have to contain significant coverage of him to be relevant for notability, and I don't see any evidence of that. Jfire (talk) 18:27, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - When searching for sources for the current AFD for the character list, I was finding absolutely nothing on this series in reliable sources. What sources are present in the article are also pretty bad - most are not even really about the series or are not reliable sources. The extremely small amount of coverage it received seventeen years ago is not enough to pass the WP:GNG and it has received absolutely no coverage or reviews in reliable sources since then. Rorshacma (talk) 03:29, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sequentially an article that is written with many links and ref layout so impress editors and readers. A general overview of this articles shows its failure in meeting general notability guidelines. The articles told us that subject of it is a writer, but it's also credibly that it goes nowhere to WP:NAUTHOR. The books doesn't seem to have significant coverage or reviews to indicate a generally critically accepted written work. Aside from that, most of the books were published by his 'press' which doesn't meet notability and seems to be cited also in the article.
No coverage at all for his impact in the filed. In general, it doesn't meet WP:ANYBIO for inclusion, please analyse the sources before commenting. Some of the sources doesn't necessarily approves the word it's citing or let me say, "unreliable". Safari ScribeEdits!Talk!23:04, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Some of the currently cited sources are written by Sempebwa or published by organizations related to him, which is not suitable to establish notability. But some of the sources (e.g. The Monitor, Pulse Uganda) seem to be independent. I can't tell from the sites' own "about us" information, and in light of the somewhat laudatory tone, whether these can be considered "sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" (WP:RS), though. Cnilep (talk) 03:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cnilep, I do agree with you. Also, Pulse Uganda can be sometimes fact checking but not in this tone. Example, in WP:NGRS, the pulse NG is used mostly not on bios since they are usually promotional and all lies with other subsidiaries of Pulse. I think they are best for film and music reviews and lifestyle. Also in the pulse article, the author was pointing "according to his website" and thus, indicates that they aren't verifiable yet. The promotional time is always huge that one notices it and ask whether it is paid for because it doesn't cover any SIGCOV. IMO, the article can still meet notability in the future but not now.

The result was no consensus. The article is clearly not based on a single source, so WP:GNG is met. The term does, however, seem to be tied to a single author, Katheryn Russell-Brown. In these cases it is often an editorial decision whether a subtopic deserves a standalone article (or if a merge is in order), and the result depends on the weighted numerical majority. The "keep" !votes are more numerous, but discounting a few weak arguments, I find both sides to be of comparable strength. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠04:21, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominated by an IP user: Non-notable concept. Any references to this term I can find ultimately lead back to a single author, Katheryn Russell-Brown, showing that this concept has not reached the level of notability for an article. There are a handful of notes about her work on it, but the little I can find is fairly surface level and doesn't add the sort of analysis that would be required for building a well developed, neutral article. Moreover, the vast vast majority of the article is WP:OR/WP:SYNTH, attempting to attribute documented cases to this concept, despite no other authors having done so. Strip that out, and also the "Concept" material which doesn't really discuss this as a concept, and this boils down to a single source. UtherSRG(talk)23:01, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge / delete. A few small parts are mergable - specifically, the parts of the concept section about Russel-Brown's writings can be merged to Katheryn Russell-Brown and / or The Color of Crime (1998 book); but the rest (the bulk of the article) ought to be deleted as WP:OR / WP:SYNTH. As an academic term it's real but is mostly just by one author and is better covered on that author's page; the rest of it is mostly just a list of whenever the media has used the words "hoax" and is original research / synthesis in the sense that it connects a bunch of things to a theory when most of them lack sources making that link. --Aquillion (talk) 03:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a demonstrably real social phenomenon. Perhaps rename it "List of Racial Hoaxes"? religious hoax is also merely a list of notable religious hoaxes. Not sure why we'd treat the two differently.Also, after reviewing the AfD Discrimination nominations, need to make sure this isn't a larger effort towards viewpoint censorship. Gumbear (talk) 12:49, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Renaming/framing it as a list doesn't address the fundamental notability problem (and only probably weakens its case per WP:NLIST). As for the other, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. And finally, please tone down the censorship rhetoric; it's not helpful. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 17:04, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can't clean up a lack of notability, and that is for AFD. Simply having citations isn't enough, and you didn't address the deletion rationale that I provided. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 22:44, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While the incidents listed are notable, there are not enough sources beyond Russel-Brown's book and other writings to enable the article to explore the concept itself. TH1980 (talk) 01:39, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since my whole point was that this is the work of a single author, thus not meeting GNG, can you explain how you think it meets GNG, rather than simply making an assertion to the contrary? 35.139.154.158 (talk) 18:31, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Have you read WP:GNG? As long as an article has received coverage in several secondary sources, it is presumed notable (in most cases, see WP:SNG. The author you mentioned is the one who first brought up the concept. Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 14:18, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A single author writing about a topic, even multiple times, does not confer a pass on GNG. Articles like this are routinely deleted on notability grounds, even when there are multiple authors working closely together. Without outside attention and analysis given to the topic, a neutral article can't be written. The sourcing that would be needed about this topic to sustain GNG simply doesn't exist. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 17:41, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bearian, please reread what I wrote. I'm not talking about a single Wikipedia author editing this page; I'm talking about Russell-Brown being the only author who's written about the topic of the article. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 17:41, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. I removed some WP:FAKEREFerences but decided best to come to AfD instead of stripping the page. The WP:BEFORE search found interviews, quotes, and WP:NEWSORGINDIA but not the type of significant coverage needed to show notability. Maybe there are non-English references but I am unable to locate those from my search. CNMall41 (talk) 22:41, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete: References mention Parhlo: "according to Parhlo.com... blah blah", or citing a Tweet from Parhlo. But they don't really say anything about the newspaper itself so I'm not sure where whoever made this acquired the text from. The only two sources I could find that do write a few lines about the newspaper is Techjuice Techjuice — but it's almost certainly not reliable because the website is spammy and hasn't even posted an article in almost a year — Dawn, which is probably reliable but it doesn't say all that much.

The article notes: "... 紐約八板中樂團經常在華人重要活動演出,華人社區對他們並不陌生。1999年成立於皇后區新鮮草原,紐約八板中樂團是紐約少數的國樂專業團隊之一。該團由多位獨奏家組成,主要團員包括笛子繆宜民、琵琶周懿、古箏王君玲、二胡張寶利、揚琴魯靜。多次獲得此獎金支持,團員們視為重要鼓勵,對能在海外傳播傳統文化感到自豪。"
From Google Translate: "...The New York Ba Ban Chinese Music Society often performs at important Chinese events, and the Chinese community is no stranger to them. Founded in 1999 in Fresh Prairie, Queens, the New York Ba Ban Chinese Music Society is one of the few professional Chinese music groups in New York. The troupe is composed of several soloists. The main members include Miao Yimin on the flute, Zhou Yi on the pipa, Wang Junling on the guzheng, Zhang Baoli on the erhu, and Lu Jing on the dulcimer. Having received this bonus support many times, the members regard it as important encouragement and are proud to spread traditional culture overseas."
The article notes: "八板中樂團曾參與過三次花旗棒球場亞洲之夜,以及搖滾歌劇「西遊記」等演出,昨日還應邀在帝國大廈農曆新年點燈儀式上表演。農曆新年將至,他們近期也頻頻受邀在各地老人中心演奏。他們除了在海外保存、創造、發揚中國傳統絲竹音樂,近年並融合爵士樂,參與外百老匯演出,也曾扮演聯合國文化大使角色。"
From Google Translate: "The Ba Ban Chinese Music Society has participated in Asia Night at Citi Baseball Stadium three times, as well as the rock opera "Journey to the West" and other performances. Yesterday, it was invited to perform at the Empire State Building's Lunar New Year lighting ceremony. The Lunar New Year is approaching, and they have been frequently invited to perform in senior centers around the country recently. In addition to preserving, creating, and promoting traditional Chinese silk and bamboo music overseas, they have also integrated jazz music in recent years, participated in off-Broadway performances, and have also served as cultural ambassadors for the United Nations."

The article notes: "The audience at a recent Ba Ban Chinese Music Society performance saw the Monkey King herald the Year of the Monkey and learned just how tricky dancing with fans and swords can be. ... Since its founding in 1999, the Ba Ban Chinese Music Society has performed extensively in New York City with shows at Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and New York University. Dedicated to the preservation, creation and presentation of Chinese folk and contemporary music, the group of accomplished artists derives its name from an ancient piece of folk music, where "Ba Ban" literally means "eight beats," which is a basic structural method of grouping notes in traditional Chinese music."
The article notes: ""Ba Ban" literally means the funda "eight beats" mental structure of rhythm in traditional Chinese music. The New York-based group has been performing Chinese folk and contemporary music for five years, at locations such as Lincoln Center and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The ensemble's musicians who play bamboo and silk instruments, a hallmark of the Ching Dynasty (1636–1911). Yimin Miao, plays ditzi, a bamboo flute that dates back 9,000 years. Zhou Yi's pipa, or lute, involves more than 70 playing techniques. Both artists have played for audiences worldwide and have taken top prizes at competitions in China and the United States."
The book notes about Zhou Yi: "Zhou moved to the United States in 1998 and settled in New York. She was a cofounder of the Ba Ban Chinese Music Society of New York, which performs Chinese music regularly. She has also participated in several operatic and musical theater premieres with pipa in the orchestra."
The article notes: "Ba Ban Chinese Music Ensemble Apr. 9. Since forming in 1999, this internationally renowned group has frequently performed in places such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Merkin Concert Hall and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as various Ivy League venues. 3 p.m. $5.

Weak keep – The Newsday source is very good, definitely sigcov. The Indianapolis sources do provide quite a bit of background information, but they probably fall under WP:ROUTINE as newspaper ads for an upcoming event, as do the other sources found online.

Weak delete. I recently reduced the article to a redirect, but was reverted by an Italian IP editor who added a reference to the webzine ondarock.it.[6] For further significant coverage to satisfy WP:NSONG, we would need at least one more in-depth piece in a reliable source.

The entire article( created by a sockpuppet account), appears to focus solely on a single historical event involving a person. There are no additional details available except for the person's role in saving the Daughter of the Sikh Guru Hargobind from the Mughals. This lacks sufficient notability WP:GNG, and there isn't enough context to justify creating an article. Imperial[AFCND]18:15, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Poorly written page and I cannot even verify texts from the sources. Fails notability guidelines and the maybe sourced contribution does not aid in the verifiable presentation of the subject. RangersRus (talk) 18:42, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A crummy stub with nothing more to offer than mentioning the subject winning two bronze medals, one at national level and another in a not so prestigious tournament. IMO, solely winning these two trophies do not warrant notability here. Conducting searches for source on my own also leads to nothing of use (mostly passing mentions from statistical sites). Printed coverage in local language is unlikely, and if there are (were) then chances are they were brief, as winning a bronze medal or two do not warrant much fame to be written about on a large scale.

Delete – From what I can see based on my Google search ("Michał Tomaszewski łyżwiarz figurowy"), news sources only refer to him as part of the figure skating duo with Agata Rosłońska and passing mentions; nothing in-depth about the man himself. Corresponding article on Polish Wikipedia likewise does not have significant coverage in secondary sources. No news have been released on Tomaszewski over 20 years either. Clara A.

Strong Delete: So full disclosure, I don't usually visit the hockey part of Wikipedia. The scope of my editing is mostly limited to fish and wildlife, and I didn't know the first thing about the sport until I wrote this article about a week ago. Even now, if you put a gun to my head and told me to name a player besides Mason Siebe, I'd have to say "pull the trigger."
I came across this guy's picture while looking for CC-compliant pictures of cichlids on Flickr, and it caught my eye because it had pretty good composition and it was released under permissible licensing for Wikipedia. And then I thought to myself, "hey, every time I click the random article button, it seems like it's either an Iranian village with 30 residents or a hockey player. I wonder if this guy has an article?" And he didn't, but his team did, so I figured it would be fair game under WP:GNG, and I treated it as an exercise to step out of my comfort zone and learn something new.
I didn't realize WP:NHOCKEY existed; if I had, I wouldn't have written the article. I'm 100% on board with it being deleted, and I've removed the crosslinks I made to it in List of people from Spokane, Washington and Mason (given name) so it doesn't create any red links once it is. My bad.

Does not meet WP:GNG, WP:GEOLAND. Previously deleted via PROD, restored following RFUD with the justification Expired PROD says it was tagged as a nn railroad crossing and failed WP:GEOLAND. It's actually an unincorporated community, and as such per GEOLAND is actually supposed to be presumed notable. This is erroneous, however, as the sole source for the article is a GNIS listing, and GEOLAND specifies that GNIS listings do not satisfy its criterion on their own and are unreliable. I was unable to find any coverage other than GNIS mirrors searching on Google Scholar and Google Books. signed, Rosguilltalk17:17, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Was called Deadman Crossing as early as 1906, but was always just a literal railroad crossing, with no buildings or anything else suggesting a community: [7]. Never mentioned in a history of Ross County: [8]. Besides GNIS, other mentions could be found but these were all trivial and dealt with local geology, mentioning it as a site but never as a community. Another nonexistent place conjured out of thin air by GNIS. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 01:00, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I found this through Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Academics and educators but the article does not even assert academic notability; it appears to be trying to claim that he is notable as a fine artist through having multiple works in notable collections. Fluxus is notable (and his connection to the movement can be documented [9]) but that does not give him inherited notability and he is not even mentioned on the Fluxus article. I'm not convinced that having copies of a newsletter kept in an academic library (see link above) is really the sort of thing that counts towards WP:ARTIST #4d, the way having individual paintings in major museums would count. He does have artworks, of a scale that would definitely count to #4d if they were in major museums [10] but the Coon Rapids Sculpture Park is not a major museum. If we could find similarly significant individual works by the subject, in multiple notable and bluelinked museums, I would likely have a different opinion, but my searches did not turn up any. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:47, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't seem to reach WP:NACADEMIC. All of the reference are to their own company website, own publication or the usual academic databases. Scopus shows H-factor of 5, with highest number of citation for any paper being 26, for a 2010 paper. The affiliation at Stockholm is unclear, as they have no web presence there (suggesting that they are not a principle investigator). The prizes look like routine conference early career development prizes, insufficient to establish notability. The maths book doesn't seem notable either. A merge to Anchor modeling could be considered (their most notable contribution perhaps), but wouldn't help the subject at that page. Klbrain (talk) 16:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Clearly does not pass any WP:PROF criterion (and in particular not #C1, because the citations are not high enough in a high-citation field). He (or someone with his name) apparently won some local teaching award in 2010 [11] but that doesn't pass #C2. We have no independent in-depth coverage of him needed for notability through WP:GNG and my searches didn't turn up any. One book would not be enough for WP:AUTHOR and we don't have any of the published reviews of it that (together with reviews of other books) could be used for notability that way. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:31, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: He is one of the persons "known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique" of anchor modeling.
No. I pointed out that there is a neuroscientist with the same name, and that it probably was the neuroscientist that recieved the award. That is the opposite of confusing them, so your patronizing is uncalled-for. Sjö (talk) 06:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: He is one of the inventors of anchor modeling, a well-known data warehouse architecture, and is an active contributor in various open professional and social media channels about data warehouse architecture. I find it very weird that this should not meet any general notability criteria? Is this a competition about finding reasons to delete articles? Sauer202 (talk) 14:54, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Our anchor modeling article is entirely primary-sourced, and although searches for that term in Google Scholar have many hits, many of them appear to be for an unrelated technique in audio signal processing. I am not convinced that this is a significant enough contribution to give its inventor inherited notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:58, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't view anchor modeling as primarily academic, but primarily applied. It is true that the Wikipedia article about anchor modeling is sparse (and I plan to develop it further), but that can not be held against its creator. Anchor modeling is open source, and its concepts are taught independently by Nikolay Golov at Harbour.Space University.[12] Nikolay has many interesting videos on YouTube with interesting comparisons of data vault and anchor modeling. Anchor modeling is the only data warehouse modeling technique that is 6NF, and therefore I think notability is inherited to its contributor. Sauer202 (talk) 16:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you think it's not academic work that he might be notable for, then you need to go through our notability criterion for people notable for non-academic work, WP:NBIO. That requires independent publications that provide in-depth coverage of the person, seemingly even harder to reach in this case. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:07, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So I created this page back in 2019, thinking that this company, being big, should have a WP page. However, since then, it has been tagged for notability issues. It might be best to remove it, as if a German company doesn't have an article on German WP, it likely isn't worth having on English WP at all. Others might perceive it as a paid article, which it is not. —Saqib (talk | contribs) 15:59, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable - the article is a 3 sentence stub about a joke from an xkcd comic, with two of the three sources used being from xkcd itself and the xkcd wiki. Doing a google search, it appears that there's little else about the topic besides the Observer article, outside of blog posts and other self-published sources. — Chevvin22:54, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into the Xkcd article for reasons stated above: that multiple sources are used suggests the topic is notable enough for inclusion. RyanAl6 (talk) 23:44, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Changing opinion to Strong Keep after the previously made points. As said before, the sources meet the notability guidelines but the topic would be difficult to smoothly integrate into the Xkcd article. RyanAl6 (talk) 11:04, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Ballmer Peak is a humorous and intentionally incorrect claim contradicting the Alcohol-related brain damage page. It makes no sense as a redirect to there. Dan Bloch (talk) 01:10, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete – There's nothing here, just a single study and report that uses the term. Should not be merged into xkcd either, that article already struggles with the many things that grew out of xkcd over the years. (The Observer article technically doesn't even really mention the webcomic btw). This topic probably doesn't meet medical inclusion criteria; it's quite serious to tell people (based on just a single study) that drinking alcohol can make you productive. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 07:37, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This has an academic paper, two news articles that cover that academic paper and many many many other references including books and another academic study. Way over our inclusion guideline. Hobit (talk) 14:47, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair, but I don't think that bar is a bit high for an article covering a meme, even if the meme is health related. The point here isn't that it's true, the point is that it's a notable idea. And we prove notability by sources. But Medicine is something I've only edited a bit around here, so I'll defer to the experts. Hobit (talk) 20:15, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:MEDRES isn't relevant because this is not a medical article. Per the lead sentence: "The Ballmer Peak is a humorous concept..." Dan Bloch (talk) 21:47, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then why are we citing scientific studies? The Observer article seems to be presenting fairly direct advice: drinking alcohol can in fact increase your productivity. I recognize that this is humorous, but to me that makes it a scarier vector for misinformation. "We wouldn't have an article on this if it wasn't funny" would be a really bad sign. For the record, however, I don't quite know and also want to defer to someone with more experience in that field. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 14:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge: leaningdelete. I don't think there's any argument that the above sources qualify this for GNG through SIRS. Let's stick to our scope and leave this to urban dictionary and the like. Draken Bowser (talk) 09:41, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Draken Bowser: Could you clarify how they don't meet SIRS? The books are are fairly short (a paragraph) but define the term with a bit of history so may well be significant. The other parts are clearly met as far as I can see. The news articles meet all 3. The research papers could be argued to be primary I guess, but "Primary sources are original materials that are close to an event". They are close to *an* event (their research) but are secondary in this context. Basically asking for you to document why you think GNG isn't met when we have 7 sources listed. Hobit (talk) 12:31, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The bar is "multiple". It is mentioned in all but one. And that one is referenced by 2 of the others as being about this topic. Two of the sources are solely on the topic (with the name). Two (the papers) cover the notion in detail but only one references it by name. The three books all discuss it by name. Hobit (talk) 17:13, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Question – If merged into xkcd, what would the addition looks like. Would it be included in the "Academic research" section and say something like "A hypoethsized phenomenon linking alcohol consumption and productivity is named after an xkcd joke, the "Ballmer Peak""? Would such an addition be appropriate? ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 10:17, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm saying that under WP:PAGEDECIDE, it makes more sense given the current sourcing to consider this a subsidiary topic under xkcd. In the future it might easily grow in significance to warrant a free-standing article. Scholarly articles are not the only indicia of notability, nor are they the sine qua non of freestanding notability. Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:14, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but it does meet the requirements of WP:N, yes? I mean there are multiple, independent, reliable sources covering the topic. And that is the bar here? Hobit (talk) 23:24, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I created the original article. And with the help of Hobit‘s links in this thread, I added additional citations from Fortune, TechCrunch, and Venturebeat, including one where it was mentioned in an interview with Ballmer himself to bolster the SIRS case.
It’s not a medical phenomenon. It’s a satirical concept that is an Internet meme that has become significant enough that it is mentioned in multiple articles, including those that are about Ballmer (the one-time CEO of one of the largest companies in the history of the planet) himself. There is a news article (with video) on an event inspired by the topic of this article. If you were to merge it into something, it would be to Steve Ballmer, rather than xkcd, since the article coverage about Ballmer peak generally links it to Ballmer (in an interview, stock jump upon his retirement) and not around xkcd. But I don’t think it should be merged. I think it should just stay as an article. Jenny8lee (talk) 09:32, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're quoting the part of GEOLAND for not-legally-recognized places. This place is legally recognized, being listed in the USGS GNIS, so per the first GEOLAND criterion it's presumed notable, nothing about case-by-case consideration. Central and Adams (talk) 16:06, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is false, the GNIS is just a database of names that have appeared on maps. Consensus has found that it is not legal recognition and does not establish notability for a stand-alone article. Also see WP:GNIS. Reywas92Talk20:40, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't legal recognition either, the USGS map just list it because it's in GNIS. GNIS is deemed unreliable by the Wikipedia community. Plenty of places that are not legally recognized have fire departments, so no on that too. James.folsom (talk) 23:02, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Legal recognition means that a government acknowledges that it exists. Only governments create fire departments. The act of creating a fire department is legal recognition. Central and Adams (talk) 23:29, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are utterly incorrect on that point. In fact, community organized volunteer fire departments came first. Depending on the laws of the area, thee is governmental regulation and coordination, but they do not necessarily create fire departments. Mangoe (talk) 02:36, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, there are volunteer fire departments but they are sanctioned and authorized by government. There's no such thing as a non government-authorized fire department. This must be the case because fire departments need powers beyond those of private citizens, e.g. to break into houses. Such powers can only be granted by government. And if a fire department is authorized for a place by government then clearly the government recognizes the existence of that place. Central and Adams (talk) 03:33, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Well I don't know what it is. It's old though. All the sources for this are not very reliable, and I've found nothing that describes it.James.folsom (talk) 23:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Recognized unincorporated community. Reliable coverage shows that it is listed beyond just the GNIS, in that it has a recognized fire department, formerly had a school, is listed on census enumeration maps, and a USGS quadrangle is named after it. Needs expansion, but it hits the bare minimum for places notability. I see no need to AFD or draftify...it's okay to be a stub for the time being until it's expanded.nf utvol (talk) 02:06, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, lots of WP:NOTINHERITED going on here. The claims above about the fire department are supposition, and I don't think they have always been true, not to say that thee is any evidence that they are true now. I've looked at the histories of various FDs around here, and I find no evidence they had to be approved back when most of them were founded in the 1920s. They had to be chartered as non-profit corporations, but that's a different matter. I can't find any information about the Pope VFD other than its address and that they have at least one truck; in particular there's no history. And like the firehouse, a school is not a settlement; they were not necessarily sited in towns. We've been over GNIS, and looking at the census map: well, where do you think they got their information from? Labels on maps simply do not cut it as an authority; that's one of the ways we got into the GNIS mess.
The problem is that you're focusing on things that towns often have, but which can be anywhere. We need direct testimony to a town, better than passing references because those have proven unreliable. Mangoe (talk) 18:56, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is some level of recency bias in arguing against the inclusion of this community...it isn't very important now, it barely exists, but that was not always the case. We have here an unincorporated community that, at some point in its past, has had a post office, a school, and a fire department, all public services serving this community and named after it. The standard you're applying here would effectively preclude most, if not all, unincorporated communities from being included in Wikipedia.
Regarding the VFD, there isn't much out there (no official site other than a Facebook page), but it is listed in the State of Tennessee's fire departments database (one of four volunteer departments in the county), as well as being the recipient of FEMA grants in the past. It's clearly more than just a chartered non-profit organization. And if we were trying to say that Pope as it currently exists is notable because of the VFD then that would be a NOTINHERITED issue, but we're using the existence of the VFD to show at least some level of governmental recognition of the unincorporated community.
I agree that the GNIS is, as you noted, not in and of itself establishment of noteworthiness, nor is inclusion in maps. Both maps and the GNIS can only verify that the place does, in fact, exist. This is an established and accepted rule on establishing notability that should not have been even mentioned above. The naming of a USGS quadrangle after that place is only a little more notable than just a passing dot on a map, but it does suggest some level of noteworthiness beyond just 'it is.' nf utvol (talk) 01:37, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No refs on the page for many years. There are a number of unref claims on the page which could be removed per WP:V but I'm also unclear whether this is a duplicate page with content from another or something else altogether. There are WP pages in other languages but they don't have many refs and do not clear up the confusion.

Comment - If this page is deleted, something will also have to be done with the Trinquete disambiguation page, which has only this entry and Valencian trinquet.

Merge and redirect to a new chapter in Basque pelota. Sources exist on the web, so the article could probably be kept, but I agree that this would make more sense as a chapter in the parent article, which already has sections on the equipment used in the sport, so why not also on the court.

Keep, she is a COO and has significant news coverage, as well as in-depth coverage (see citations for Fortune, NPR, Tearsheet) which meets WP:NBIO. Because she has a commonly used name, some of the news coverage for Lambert is hard to find. I added new citations since the AfD listing. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 06:56, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The citations you have added are a classic example of a notability bomb – inserting a lot of insignificant references to create a superficial appearance of notability. For the benefit of other editors I will address each of them, but in future AfD discussions, instead of adding a dozen insignificant references and expecting other editors to pick through them, try to focus on a few excellent sources.
Source 1 (Fortune) is an interview with Lambert that is too brief to constitute significant coverage and does not provide independent analysis of Lambert beyond her interview responses.
Source 2 (NPR) is an obvious PR piece – if we dig a little deeper we find Lambert was elected to the NPR board, making this source non-independent and an obvious non-starter.
Sources 3–8 and 10 are about various things Lambert's employers did. None of them provide significant coverage of Lambert herself, but rather mention her only in passing. Again, these obviously constitute a notability bomb.
Sources 9 and 13 are profiles of Lambert for a conference she spoke at. These are obviously not independent sources.
Source 11 is a press release, obviously not independent.
The bulk of Source 12 (Tearsheet) is paywalled. I'm unfamiliar with Tearsheet, but looking at their About Us page brought me to this page explaining their services, where they describe their purpose as [helping] financial services and fintech firms create memorable and meaningful content and get it in front of their target readers and exhort prospective customers to let us craft your unique story in a way that’s memorable and provides value to your audience. I conclude Tearsheet is not an independent reliable source but rather a vehicle for advertorials.
Lambert does share her name with others but it is easy to account for this by using more precise search terms or skipping over sources that obviously don't refer to Lambert the executive. – Teratix₵07:43, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Source 1 is not an interview, and source 2 has no date (also I don’t think source 2 is PR, because I would expect PR would mention her current employer, or her status at the NPR board for example). Source 12 is not paywalled for me, it has biographical details (and not an interview) but I was also not familiar with the site, and perhaps it is questionable like you say. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 08:21, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On Fortune: Honestly, it doesn't really matter what we call it – the point is it contains very little substantive coverage of Lambert, and what little there is has clearly drawn on interview responses from Lambert or just directly quotes her. Bottom line: it's not a source that provides the significant coverage needed to contribute to notability.
On NPR: a profile that appears on the website of a company for which she serves as a board member, that opens by gushing Lambert is a visionary, outcome driven executive and calls her a transformational leader with a proven track record – you don't think that's PR? You think that's an independent source we should accept as key evidence of Lambert's notability? That's your honest and thoughtfully considered view? – Teratix₵10:27, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:HOAX. No player with the surname Bathurst has played in the English Football League since the Second World War (verified via leading stats sites such as Soccerbase and Soccerway, the 2015 edition of the book listed under refs, and a similar player records book published in the 1980s). I also own the Rothmans Football Yearbooks for most of the seasons during his supposed career and none of them show a player of this name playing for the teams he was supposedly a regular with at the time.

Unfortunately non-notable as per WP:GNG on the basis of the lack of reliable sourcing and in-depth reviews. Know Your Meme and WikiHow are pretty cut and dry WP:USERG. A WP:BEFORE finds some brief analysis of a gameplay mechanic in the game in Game Rant [37] and some even briefer listicle-type assessments of the game in TheGamer [38] and Sportskeeda [39]. But I think this is well below the level of coverage needed as a whole if using the WP:THREE method. There isn't good guidance on notability for a series, but if there was one or two reviews out there for the other games, I would argue that a series such as this is not notable where (1) there's no in-depth coverage of the series as a whole body of work; and (2) none of the individual works in the series seem they would be independently notable. At any rate, open to views. VRXCES (talk) 07:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised that User:Jamiebuba approved this page because this company has a long and torrid history of COI and uploading promotional pages to Wikipedia and this page seems no different to what has gone before. Sure, we've got Entrepreneur Magazine which might have been published independently of the subject but there are a lot of sources that don't count as RS like press releases, local newspapers and the dreaded TechCrunch the least independent source in the history of business journalism. I think it's safe to say that this one-man band, run of the mill, stock image supplier fails WP:NCORP and is hardly notable so fails WP:GNG.

Keep obviously needs a complete rewrite and shouldn't have been accepted in its current state, but these reviews [41][42] seem like enough for a NCORP/NPRODUCT pass. – Teratix₵14:51, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if the article is recase to be about the website but otherwise Delete. The topic of the article is a *company* therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Two sources mentioned above refer to reviews on the product/website of the company. Just to point out the obvious - if the topic of this article was about the website/product, these could be examined with a view to establishing the notability of the website/product, but those references do not establish the notability of the *company*. I'd also add that those references would not, in my opinion, meet the criteria for establishing the notability of the product either - both Techmedia and photutorial earn commission from the "independently reviewed" website's affiliate links and appears Photutorial appears to be little more than a blog, not truly Independent, failing WP:ORGIND. HighKing++ 13:18, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
if the topic of this article was about the website/product, these could be examined with a view to establishing the notability of the website/product, but those references do not establish the notability of the *company*. Well, in that case we can write the article on Vecteezy the website instead. In fact, my understanding is that's how the article is written already.
both Techmedia and photutorial earn commission from the "independently reviewed" website's affiliate links this interpretation of independence is too demanding and is not supported by ORGIND. The actual reviews demonstrate more than enough deep and original analysis to qualify as significant independent opinion.
Photutorial appears to be little more than a blog, not truly Independent Well, these are two different allegations – being a blog would make it unreliable, not non-independent. They appear to have a strong editorial policy but looking through the rest of the site it does look like they're a bit of a one-man operation. On the borderline for me.
I would encourage somebody to consider recasting the article so that it is primarily about the product (the website) and if that were the case I believe it would pass GNG/NCORP as a topic and I've changed my !vote to reflect that. Sometimes it might appear that an article is about the product (i.e. the website) and not about the company, but for me that isn't the case here. The article includes a company template and omits key information about the product while including information which is relevant to company activity such as signing deals and agreements - sure they impacted the product but compare the thrust of the article with the reviews you've pointed to concerning the website. Those reviews write from the point of view of the website. The article omits any mention of features such as reverse image searching, or the recent incorporation of AI, or valid critcisms which have been written about. As it stands, for me, the topic is the company and the company fails GNG/NCORP criteria. HighKing++ 09:44, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I found no coverage in WP:LIBRARY under various permutations of name + associated term ("poet", "rentlord", "Evidence of the Senses", "Angeli, Archangeli", etc.). Jfire (talk) 04:02, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I could find no information whatsoever about this location besides the geological survey data-point. No such town exists on this site today, and as far as i can tell, has ever existed. As much as it pains me, whatever this actually was is non-notable. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 03:39, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - Non-notable spam. Previous attempts have been CSD'd. This is no better. Cited articles aren't even about the subject. DarkAudit (talk) 12:28, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Even though they are in a lower division in the season in question, Deportivo La Coruña's notability is undoubted. Svartner (talk) 18:07, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with Svartner. Continuity in the coverage of a historically professional team is important in an encyclopedia. Anwegmann (talk) 21:51, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Even know they are a notable club doesn't mean their seasons qualify under the SNG WP:NSEASONS, they are too far down the ladder now. So delete per notability on the season. Govvy (talk) 21:53, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This season is very notable because of the nature of it and the circumstances regarding the club at this time, as it entered a new era. - Cr7s 190.153.84.93 (talk) 02:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I waited patiently before starting this AFD. Firstly, the article doesn't meet WP:ORGCRIT; No verifiable significant, independent, third-party reliable sources. I was thinking maybe the creator was on WP:ENN because other schools exist. While that aside, there is no importance for entry made by the school in question. Even if, I can't find source for it.
