  • Keep. I was able to find several references to add, which also enabled me to add a plot summary and quite a bit about the production. Sources include several paragraphs at the end of a New York Times article on recent ski movies that get away from the "ski porn" cliches, an extended article in the Denver Post (it premiered in Denver), and other coverage including a Norwegian TV channel focussing on the nude skiing scene. Meets GNG. Yngvadottir ( talk) 16:43, 29 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Very thin referencing (that's a strange new meaning of "several" when describing its passing mention in the Times article and Post story is basically pre-release promotion. Not so much referencing as it is padding. -- Calton | Talk 11:08, 4 October 2017 (UTC) reply
I can't agree with that assessment of the sources; although I agree that several focus on the nude ski scene, the Denver Post counts as a review in a reputable newspaper, and the NYT article has way more than a mention: as I wrote above, several paragraphs, and it appears to have provided the impetus for the article: "Sweetgrass’s latest film, 'Valhalla,' fully restored my faith in the future of ski movies."

  • Delete There are definitely references (and somewhat difficult to scare up, since they are under two different names) but they are all either small time or run of the mill coverage of "appearing this week at (venue name)" variety, consisting generally of band talking about themselves rather than objective, third party coverage. Could be worth saving if better examples of significant third party coverage could verify most of what it in this article, but best I can tell there is nothing new about them for over 10 years, and I suspect the band is defunct, having never really "made it" in any significant way.

The result was no consensus. David Eppstein has made a persuasive argument but none of the editors arguing keep have returned to revisit their positions and this debate has now been open for almost three weeks. As WP:RELIST discourages third relists, I'm going to call time. If someone wants to re-nominate this article for deletion in a couple of months they would be well served by taking some notes on David Eppstein's approach when they write the nomination.

  • Keep Subject is the leading German academic on Mediterranean fire ecology, widely published and works in a relevant field.

Α Guy into Books  § ( Message) -  14:57, 14 September 2017 (UTC) reply
    • Comment Links in the article don't demonstrate this. Under references we have 1) the subject's blog, 2) a page from a university that doesn't even list the subject's name, 3) a dead link to ARD with no page found and 4) link to the subject's blog (again). This is hardly sufficient to demonstrate one of the 9 points listed in WP:NACADEMIC. Furthermore, Google search turns up no independent coverage to satisfy general WP:BIO or notability guidelines. User has a Wikimedia page, if that is of interest? CelenaSkaggs ( talk) 15:43, 14 September 2017 (UTC) reply
      • Comment The fact that the links in the article don't demonstrate notability isn't relevant at all. You should consider reading both WP:ARTN and WP:NEXIST before you nominate any more articles for deletion based on your perception that the links that are presently in an article determine notability.

In contrast, among Neff's publications I find one well-cited one on general fire ecology in which he is in a middle position among six authors ("Reconstructing past fire regimes: methods, applications, and relevance to fire management and conservation", and note that without restricting to the Mediterranean the citation counts of other works are also much higher) and then other citation counts much lower (43, 33, 25, and then single digits). I conclude that the hypothesis is not confirmed. It may be that he is the leading German expert in Mediterranean fire ecology, but I don't see why his nationality should be relevant to his notability, especially since one would not expect Germany to be a center of research on this topic (it is not a Mediterranean country). Since that was the only plausible claim here for notability, and in general his citation counts do not show that he is a high-impact researcher in this area, I conclude that we do not have evidence for WP:PROF in general, nor for WP:PROF#C1 more specifically. Without evidence of notability, we cannot keep the article. — David Eppstein ( talk) 03:41, 2 October 2017 (UTC) reply

This is an advitorial. Should be deleted per WP:CORP and WP:PROMO. Sources on the article are primarily the company itself, organizations whose sole purpose is to promote business in the state or region, a smattering of local news stories that primarily consist of interviews with the principals of the company, and two brief mentions out of Chicago and Detroit in articles about tourism in the region. It is chock full of unsubstantiated claims of importance that do nothing but serve to promote. John from Idegon ( talk) 19:40, 28 September 2017 (UTC) reply

*Delete since most of the references rely on PRIMARY sources (interviews, company announcements) and although the references are all secondary independent publications, the articles themselves are not intellectually independent and therefore fail the criteria for establishing notability WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. Another reference is an inclusion in a list of activities in the Idlewild region and fails WP:CORPDEPTH. A topic must have at least two references that meet the criteria for establishing notabilty and therefore must be intellectually independent. Perhaps one of the Keep !voters above can provide two references that they believe gets this topic beyond the notability argument? -- HighKing ++ 13:27, 3 October 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep  Nothing in Google scholar.  I found that there are two more search terms, ICT and Shelby Gemstone Factory.  The Pure Michigan source only has a paragraph, but it still contributes to GNG notability.  The Oceana Herald Journal 40-years article is helpful.  The Detroit News article requires going to a library.  Nom has a point to the extent that this article could use some toning down from the fawning, and I've made some edits in that regard.  But there is also a sense in the sources of family friendliness, which if we follow the sources, some of this will show up in the article, and this is not a reason for WP:PROMO deletion.  Unscintillating ( talk) 03:04, 4 October 2017 (UTC) reply

      • Like I said, the Oceana 40-years article is helpful.  I had trouble with several of the sources, but I don't do video, so it might be that explains two that I couldn't see.  I also had trouble with the Northern Express source, but I found it in a Google cache.  Have you looked at Google Books?  I recall one of the snippets is from 1994, where while the claim that is still being made appears to no longer be true, was likely true in 1994.  As for the technology, the best source I found was the FAQs page from the company.  Unscintillating ( talk) 00:03, 5 October 2017 (UTC) reply
      • As creator of the article I used several library books, as I have like these reference books I used in producing 500 Did You Know articles.

  • Keep There does appear to be a small number of references, a lot of which are travel guides and such like, that provide details on Shelby Gem Factory or mention the factory. For example, Michigan Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff. Given that others here have stated there are also references available that may be difficult to find available online, I'm satisfied it meets the criteria for notability. -- HighKing ++ 11:44, 5 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Fails WP:Artist. Unreferenced BLP, essentially orphaned, and I can barely find any Internet sources. None of her awards is remotely notable or verifiable. The article even contains sentences about a completely different (male) person: "Like Wang Guangyi, Xu Beihong and Wu Guanzhong, Zhang Xiaogang is becoming to the best-selling contemporary Chinese artists and is a favorite of European collectors. He is represented in Beijing and Paris, Boston, New York City and Blossom Art Collection in Los Angeles." [17] shows it's not vandalism. Note: it's going to be confusing trying to find sources because there are many other artists with the same name, e.g. this artist is male and a graduate of Wako University in Japan; this artist (link in Chinese) is a 1967-born female graduate of Shanghai University. Our Zhang Xin as mentioned in the article and verified here is a female alumnus of China Academy of Art (even though that link says she was born in c. 1948 and not 1953 as the article mentioned, but that's a relatively minor issue).

  1. If this page is indeed the same person as the subject (and she seems to be based off of what the article calls her blog), not only was she born in 1948 rather than 1953, but is from Tianjin rather than Jilin City. Our article may be incorrect.
  2. I imagine the masculine pronoun bolded above is a grammatical error. Referring to female-identifying people as he is an extremely common error for native Chinese speakers to make, given the homophony of Chinese pronouns, and that it is an error is plausible given the context: "…then started her career as an art editor of Shandong Pictural and a painted traditional Chinese painting…. Zhang Xiaogang is becoming to the best-selling contemporary Chinese artists…." Lacking a source, I can't tell if Zhang Xiaogang is referring to our subject or not: it might be her nom de 筆 or something, but that it refers to a different peson entirely seems likeliest.
  3. The external link called " Interview by LA 18" shows no content for me in any browser.
Delete, I guess: it's a BLP and the sourcing seems at first blush like it's going to be impossible. Apart from one page I found talking about an exhibition she did in Las Vegas in 2007, just about every search result is a false positive (or exact duplicate of the one page that profiles her).

No organization is considered inherently notable per WP:ORGSIG. The organization must have a effect on the society in order to consider notable. I think this ORG was founded in 2012 and was dissolved in 2013 having NULL effect on the society. Secondly, An organization is not notable merely because a notable person or event was associated with it per WP:INHERITORG which is clearly the case here. This ORG is only notable because of a notable person. This ORG also fails WP:ORGDEPTH and fails WP:ORGCRIT. We can easily cover one line information on the person who founded this organization.

Can't find a single reference to a state-wide library system under this name. Nothing shows up about it under PA state government sites. Very few results on a general search under the exact phrase "Pennsylvania library system". Most results only use this exact phrase when referring to their own library system existing in PA, or the University of Pennsylvania library system. Only one file from 2003 (incidentally when this article was created) that says the article name in full as its own entity. No serious additions to this page since its creation in 2003 leads me to believe it was referenced once in 2003 and then never again. Overall, lacks WP:GNG so much that I don't even think it exists!

Too obscure to merit a stand-alone page - the infobox is larger than everything that can possibly be said about her. That she was child of her father and that she was baptized and perhaps educated (unreferenced claim), is no basis for notability, nor is the fact that this otherwise obscure royal daughter is sometimes confused with her more-noteworthy aunt.

  • Keep. I have (after the AfD, which happened while I was typing it out), included reliable sources for everything except her tutor, which is still in need of a citation. In popular culture at least 3 books feature her as a main character, there are numerous references to support the fact she was one of Charlemagne's better known daughters. I disagree with the original AfD reason since that was based on a incomplete stub. Notability is not temporary, a significant princess of the holy roman empire during its epoch is a relevant biography to have, even on the limited dozen or so sources available. NB. they are some older sources available as well, the information comes from somewhere, an expert could add to this article.

  • Keep. If we are discussing (for almost a month!) a speculative 3rd yet to be born modern offspring to the grandson of the queen of a monarchy that has very little actual real power ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Third child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) - we should definitely keep a non-speculative child of arguably the most influential monarch in European history if sourcing supports it. Following article improvement - there is both sourcing and more content - meeting GNG. I'll note that sourcing here is difficult as there were multiple Giselas in the Carlogininan line (including here co-contemporaneous abbess aunt), and that it actually seems possible (per some of the sources) that a few years after her aunts death (who was abbess of Chelles) this Gisela as well was appointed to be abbot of Chelles.

  • Nominators Comment This article has been expanded since nomination, but much of the expansion is decoration, based on non-WP:RS (self-published material, non-notable trash-fiction), and references to a sister as if it was relevant to her, or books that don't have the information that is claimed (e.g. name, death). Further, it has plastered on multiple passing references to make it appear as if there is broad specific coverage, rather than just a single-sentence mention in these books - a bunch of passing references to an otherwise obscure girl not pass GNG. I have cleaned it up, but maintain that there is not enough here to ever have more than a stub, and a redirect to her father's page is more appropriate. Agricolae ( talk) 21:11, 28 September 2017 (UTC) Added note: I tried to clean it up by removing the problematic material that wasn't supported by the citations, but my efforts were reverted. I then tried to simply tag the problems, but my efforts were reverted. This is not the way it the process is supposed to work. If I can't even point out the problems, let alone fix them, it is impossible to have an open and well-informed discussion of the merits of this page - any page can on someone obscure can be bulked up with inappropriate citations to look like it is well-supported.

  • Saying that a fiction book about Gisela daughter of Charlemagne is a portrayal of Gisela daughter of Charlemagne... is not OR. I think it is best you avoid editing the page concurrent to your afd advpcating. Icewhiz ( talk) 04:17, 29 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Original Research is when an editor reaches a conclusion not found in a source, when they collect information and draw their own conclusion. None of the cited sources says that there are several works of fiction on Gisela. It is the editor's own research (a Google Books search, or perhaps their own bookshelf) that has led them to the awareness of such literature, and it is their own research that has led them to generalize about it. If there are no secondary sources that mention this literary corpus, neither should we. As to your other suggestion, . . . no. The article has been stuffed with irrelevancies, unsupported assertions, excessive citation and false citation just to make it look pretty for the AfD, and now you suggest I just leave even the most egregious examples unchallenged. You can't even get past the first citation, supposedly providing verification for the utterly ludicrous alternative name of Gisela Charlemagne Carolingian, entirely absent form the source. Elsewhere a reference to the subject's birth is used as reference for their death, and there are two self-published lulu.com books paraded out there like thy are real references. It is a mess and people here are basing their !votes on the highly-deceptive presentation, with its false-citations and flawed citations. The whole AfD system doesn't work if all it takes to avoid an Deletion is to stuff an article full of dubious material and declare it all sacrosanct until after the process is over. How about this? We go back to the version when the AfD was proposed, removing all of the stuffing, and nobody edits it until it is over? No, I thought not. Indeed, part of the process is to improve borderline articles, but we don't improve them by waiving all standards of verifiability and preventing the removal (or even tagging) of unsupported, distorted, or undue material until after the votes are in.

  • Apologies for adding to a wall of text with a wall of text, I couldn’t summarize it.
There is no original research in saying several works of fiction feature her as the main character, and then supporting the claim with reference to three books with her name clearly on front cover, you don't need to have a reference which says it, it is incredibly obvious, it like needing a reference to prove people can walk, even though sources say people walk.

Its my own research which informs me of everything i write, not everyone blindly copies a single source, and Wikipedia would be pretty useless if that were all that was allowed. Research to discover information, putting the information into proper sentences with sources to show its verifiability is fine and not original research, which is where something is a theory or hypothesis not directly supported by sources. a set of facts is not original research.
You say we should not mention that she is relevant in popular culture, yet most articles have sections devoted to that purpose, with heading lie 'in popular culture'.
The article has not been 'stuffed with irrelevancies', the article simply gathers all the limited information on a historical figure that has survived the last 1200 years, and uses books that focus on a whole set of people to illustrate what is known about her, if this was a price then it would be alot easier, but hey this came from the systemic bias against women biography worklist, women have less written about them in historic sources than their male counterparts.
You got the name wrong, it is not 'Gisela Charlemagne' is it 'Carolingian' which is the surname of her royal house, which was stated in the source, someone has helpfully put this into a royalty infobox now.
You clearly misunderstood the 'death reference', as that was infact a reference for a her birth, as is stated in the article, her death date is not clearly recorded.
Self published books should be judged on the merit of the author, neither are being used to support anything of note anyway.
Regarding your long winded way of excusing why you nominated an article for deletion whilst it was being edited, I obviously disagree that leaving it in its improved state is unduly influencing anything, people do look at the references and check the content, I cannot see any problem with presenting all that is available and letting people judge all the aspects of this article, rather than saying there is not mention of her and its an irrelevance.
The material in the article is there for people to judge, I am not the only person to work on it, and others have made various changes and comments as well, so I don't feel like this is a personal battle between my version and your version (which was my unreferenced stub framework anyway).

A lot to answer: 1) I see bears at a zoo, so obviously there are bears at that zoo. That doesn't mean I am justified in adding to a Wikipedia article on bears that they can be seen at said zoo. It would be both WP:UNDUE and a conclusion based on personal observation - Original Research. Having a few non-notable trash-fiction books does not make someone notable in popular culture. 'In popular culture' sections exist but are highly controversial, particularly since they tend to become a dumping ground for every obscure pop-culture reference. Most pages that have not removed the section entirely maintain a strict requirement that to be included, a pop-culture reference need not only exist, but have been proven noteworthy by mention in some secondary reference, which then avoids both the UNDUE and OR problems. 2) Wikipedia is not a WP:SOAPBOX. If there is insufficient material for someone to be notable, that is unfortunate but "The mass of [women and] men lead lives of quiet desperation". Past biases of historians are unfortunate, but no excuse for statements that are unsupported by the cited references, just to have more to say. 3) Gisela Carolingian is equally preposterous. You say it is the family surname of the royal house, but surnames didn't exist in Carolingian Francia, and the family never had one (genealogical websites and self-published books notwithstanding, the first French monarch to have had a surname was 1000 years later, when the blade dropped on Citoyen Capet). Equally important, you made the claim look authentic by adding a citation to a source that said nothing of the sort. 4) You say that I misunderstood as a death reference a citation documenting her birth and not her death. It was given at the end of a sentence that only mentioned the lack of information about her death, so if you agree it has nothing to do with her death, there is not one problem but two: it shouldn't be attached to a sentence it does not address and no reference actually documents the statement made. Likewise, if neither self-published book is "being used to support anything of note anyway" why are they there at all? The role of citations is to document the verifiability of claims being made, not just as decoration. 5) You are not presenting all that is available and letting people judge, you are going well beyond what is available, playing fast and loose in a way that makes it look like there are more sources, better sources and more detailed sources, than there really are, exactly the point at issue in an AfD. Agricolae ( talk) 16:20, 29 September 2017 (UTC) reply
The self published books were being used to support that old latin thing, but since a reliable republication has been found now, that is no longer needed. the sentence about her death was added by Icewhiz, who has resourced it now. I have found references to support the sentence on pop culture now also. Considering what I was able to find with a half hour search I am surprised this was nominated at all.

  • keep but rework. I've just looked at the sources and what they are supposedly supporting and have left a long comment on the talk page. See Talk:Gisela, daughter of Charlemagne#Serious problems with sourcing. But ... this is clearly not well researched and is indeed full of sourcing problems. Use of any work from lulu.com is a serious problem. Stating that a daughter of Charlemagne has a surname " 'Carolingian' which is the surname of her royal house, which was stated in the source, someone has helpfully put this into a royalty infobox now" is so wrong that it's not even funny. Surnames do not appear in the historical record for Western Europe until the 11th or 12th century. Charlemagne did NOT have the surname "Carolingian" ... that's the name that later writers/etc gave to his family but its still not a surname. There isn't any doubt there was a daughter of Charlemagne named Gisela, but this article as it stands with the current sourcing does not meet wikipedia policies and guidelines. Ealdgyth - Talk 11:50, 29 September 2017 (UTC) reply
Having looked at your comment on the talk page I am in agreement with most the suggested improvements, however I feel the problem is mostly based on the lack of sources for things like the death date, as opposed to the birth date, which is surprisingly easy to source, inclusive of baptism. It is definitely stated somewhere she never married, as none of Charlemagne's daughters married. I will try to locate a reliable source for that. Whether royal surnames are technically correct or not is not supposed to be funny, it is a name many people seem to use (and are used in modern genealogy by laypeople), despite royalty never having surnames. Any assistance in the improvements is of great help, I am not a historian, I don't think anyone else working on this is either. A den jentyl ettien avel dysklyver 12:41, 29 September 2017 (UTC) reply
Those aren't improvements, those are serious serious problems. That many problems with sources not supporting the information given is actually enough to have the article deleted, since nothing that's accurately sourced in the article is really enough to establish notability. To recap, over 3/4ths of the article is not supported by the references that purport to support it. Some acknowledgement of that being a problem would be nice.

  • Comment on the contrary, it's quite common and perfectly acceptable for songs that don't warrant articles to redirect to their parent albums as people still sometimes search for the songs online, so the question is whether this was meets WP:Notability (music)#Songs. In other words, people need to determine if there's enough material on the song itself to grow beyond a stub AND if it is covered enough outside of album reviews and artist/label/producer/songwriter commentary.

@ Snuggums: what Ritchie333 means that because the song name is the same as the album name, anybody searching for the song is going to bring up the album title anyway, so there's no point having a redirect. Richard3120 ( talk) 15:52, 28 September 2017 (UTC) reply

It would require a great undertaking to parse through this information and sort original from copywritten; as such it may be best to start fresh.

Deproded with no rationale besides, ostensibly, WP:ILIKEIT. There is no encyclopedic reason for this article to exist - it duplicates two existing articles Magician (fantasy) and Wizard (character class). It is entirely a work of original research and turns the two terms into a mish-mash.

Unreferenced article about a city street, with no indication of anything that would satisfy WP:ROADOUTCOMES. All this contains is a description of the road's physical characteristics, a list of buildings that happen to be on it, and a brief biographical sketch of the person that it happens to have been named for (an otherwise non-notable daughter of the person who previously owned the land it's located on.) Every road in every city is not automatically eligible to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists -- but there's no indication of any political, social or historical context that would make its existence noteworthy, and no evidence of any strong reliable source coverage about the road.

We need much better sourcing for a claim like that than just a Fodor's tourist guide (which is prone to just repeating marketing claims that may not actually be accurate.) Bearcat ( talk) 18:45, 25 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • WP:GNG or WP:RS makes no discrimination against "tourist guides" as long as there is editorial control over content as is the case with Fodor's which has a long reputation of fact-checking. There does need to be proof of "repeating marketing claims," otherwise that's just an ironic claim. I don't see how a place having been a major commercial thoroughfare in the past and not presently is a "marketing claim" anyway.-- Oakshade ( talk) 19:01, 25 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • "Come see our district! It has history! (Don't ask us to actually back that up with documented proof, though, and never mind that "has stores on it" isn't actually an encyclopedic notability claim in and of itself...just take our word for it!)" Bearcat ( talk) 19:38, 25 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Oh, do go ahead and enlighten me as to where there's a difference between being a neighbourhood's commercial thoroughfare and being a neighbourhood street that had stores on it — because that difference certainly isn't found in what any of the words mean. And then find me some sources that actually substantiate its significance as a neighbourhood commercial street rather than just glancingly asserting it, which is the real point here. Bearcat ( talk) 03:20, 26 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • No, I was not; I was claiming (correctly) that Fodor's was not necessarily going to research or fact-check a PR claim handed to it by the neighbourhood BIA or tourist office. Regardless, the basis for handing it wikinotability as a commercial district would not be just a contemporary Fodor's travel guide simply asserting the fact in a glancing fashion in a source not otherwise about the street itself, but substantive coverage in a variety of sources about its noteworthiness as a commercial district, which hasn't been shown here at all. Bearcat ( talk) 14:28, 27 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • If you can provide any evidence that the long reputable couple Fodor's didn't do any research and simply repeated a "PR claim", then we'll talk. Otherwise you're only providing blind original research speculation. And I'll repeat, we don't understand how some undefined local organization touting a past accolade and not the present is somehow "PR." If you'd like more sources, fine. But your Fodor's-is-lying claim with no evidence whatsoever is ignorable. -- Oakshade ( talk) 15:56, 27 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • It's not my responsibility to prove a negative — it's your responsibility to prove the affirmative. And at any rate, what we're talking about is one glancing namecheck of a purported historical status not confirmed by multiple reliable sources, when passing WP:GNG requires multiple sources (not just one) to address the topic in depth (not just namechecking its existence). So regardless of which one of us is right or wrong about whether Fodor's independently researched the claim or just regurgitated a press release, we still require more than just one source before we can consider the street notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia.

  • The "affirmative" has been provided and you're just blindly claiming it's a "PR Claim" with zero evidence. You need to prove that. I noticed the same source also says the area is now "more run down." How is it a "PR Claim" to be "run down"? -- Oakshade ( talk) 16:20, 27 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • No, you haven't "proven" the affirmative; you've simply asserted that I'm wrong, which isn't the same thing. And we still need more than just one source to deem this notable — regardless of who's right or wrong about how Fodor's did or didn't assess the claim's publishability, it still takes more than just one source to make a street notable enough for inclusion. Bearcat ( talk) 16:36, 27 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • The reliable source regarding the past importance of this topic has been provided - the "affirmative." That's not just "asserting" you're wrong. You've been repeatedly claiming that source is a "PR claim" by some un-named entity but providing zero evidence for your claim. And how is the source calling a topic "run down" a "PR claim"? -- Oakshade ( talk) 16:48, 27 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • A tourist guide making an assertion without showing evidence of that != proof. If it had half the historic importance as a commercial district as you seem so sure it does, that would track in other sources as well — such as the archives of the Montreal Gazette — but it completely fails to do so at all. (P.S. if I wasn't clear enough about this before, I checked.) And we still require more than just one source to deem a street notable. Bearcat ( talk) 01:45, 1 October 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Again, you're just demanding that a reliable source supply its own reliable source. That's just you. The New York Times references Fodor's all the time. If it's good enough for the NYT, it's good enough for us. Well most us, but not you. Fine. And we're still waiting for your answer; how does the source saying the topic is "run down" a repeated "PR claim"? -- Oakshade ( talk) 19:27, 1 October 2017 (UTC) reply
  • I never said that "has become run down" was a PR claim; I have no responsibility to answer for words that you're putting in my mouth. And we're also still waiting for your response to the fact that Wikipedia requires multiple reliable sources, not just one, before we can deem a topic notable enough to have an article. WP:GNG requires substantive coverage in multiple reliable sources, not just one half-page blurb in one tourist guide. Bearcat ( talk) 14:46, 2 October 2017 (UTC) reply
  • You claimed that when Fodor's stated ""was one of the major commercial thoroughfares of the Plateau" it was a "PR claim handed to it by the neighbourhood BIA or tourist office" with zero evidence. Fodor's also states in the same paragraph that the street is "run down." How is Fodor's making a "PR claim handed to it by the neighbourhood BIA or tourist office" when they also state it's "run down"?-- Oakshade ( talk) 16:24, 2 October 2017 (UTC) reply
  • It is entirely possible for Fodor's to take one piece of information from a piece of PR bumf, and combine it with other information gleaned from its own personal observations rather than the PR, within the same piece of writing — so saying that one part of the blurb sounds more like PR bumf than properly substantiated evidence of notability is not disproven by some other part of the blurb that I did not apply that judgement to. There is no evidence that Fodor's dug into decades-old newspaper archives to research whether it had any historic significance as a commercial thoroughfare — which is still not the same thing as "had stores on it". And Wikipedia still requires multiple sources, not just one — a point which you still seem reluctant or unable to address. Bearcat ( talk) 16:47, 2 October 2017 (UTC) reply
  • A single anonymous Wikipedia user making a "It is entirely possible" "PR claim" charge holds no weight against a reliable source. Demanding a reliable source provide another reliable source to their content is just silly grabbing at straws. If this article is deleted, it will probably be because of the request for more in-depth coverage by more sources, not your groundless claim that a reliable source is, well I guess you mean sometimes since you're now contradicting yourself, repeating a "PR claim."-- Oakshade ( talk) 00:26, 3 October 2017 (UTC) reply

This star was already included in the List of stars in Cancer that generally indicates notability for a star. However, I can't find anything notable about it and suggest it be deleted and removed from that list. It is well below naked-eye visibility, not variable, not multiple, no known exoplanets. Simbad gives a grand total of seven published papers mentioning 71 Cnc, all of them as about large groups of stars that happen to include this one. Lithopsian ( talk) 16:40, 5 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Merge with Cancer (constellation) - the article is only a brief one, and a merge with the larger article should not prove difficult. Vorbee ( talk) 16:50, 5 September 2017 (UTC) reply
    A merge wouldn't be difficult but would be inappropriate. The constellation article does briefly describe several of the most notable stars, but cannot be expected to reference even a fraction of the thousands of non-notable ones within its borders. There is a List of stars in Cancer that might be expected to be a better target for a redirect (it already has the essential details on 71 Cnc) but the list only contains stars which are considered notable enough to merit an article (one day). Hence any decision that an 71 Cnc is not notable would mean it is removed from the list. I think the choice is between keep and delete. I will try to rustle up some more comments, or the article may become an unopposed deletion. Lithopsian ( talk) 19:29, 18 September 2017 (UTC) reply

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Cancer (constellation) cannot be a grab-bag mentioning all the thousands of non-notable stars in the constellation. It would be fairly impractical for it even to mention all 83 of the Flamsteed-designated stars. Seems like it should mention the more notable objects, not the less notable ones.

I have just added two newspapers articles as citations to the article. I can find more of those but not sure what you mean with independent coverage of the sources. Does this have to be specifically mentioning the subject of the page for approval? Many thanks for your kind availability. RobertoPasqualino

  • Delete. We don't have evidence of high citations to point to, so the only path to notability seems to be WP:PROF#C3, fellowship in scholarly societies for which this is a high honor. Our article lists three fellowships, but are they honors for scholarly work? I think FRSA is based more on arts patronage than scholarship, and its number of fellows is too high for it to be a high honor. FHEA is based on teaching not scholarship. And regarding FIA, Institute and Faculty of Actuaries#Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries states that it is based on passing some examinations and three years of work experience, so it is also far from the high scholarly honor we are looking for. — David Eppstein ( talk) 18:36, 29 September 2017 (UTC) reply

To quote the source, "...That’s not the case in the evening’s closer, Kasey R. Mazak’s piece inspired by Charles Marega’s sculpture The Wounded Soldier. In a spare, unaffected style, Mazak narrates the story of growing up in a war-torn country and of a chance encounter that preempts a suicide attempt.
