Taking to AFD since PROD was removed. This article is premature when two feature films on their own are not a series. No prejudice against recreation if a third one is made, but it's too soon to say whether that will happen. Snuggums ( talk / edits) 23:23, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

The result was redirect to United States Senate election in New York, 2018#Republican primary. Numerically, 8:4:2 for redirect / keep / delete. Discussion centers on whether the campaign coverage provides notability or whether this is a BLP1E case. This is a matter of editorial judgment and not something I can decide by fiat. So there is consensus not to have a separate article at this time, but no consensus to delete, which makes redirect the only possible outcome. Sandstein 10:40, 27 June 2018 (UTC) reply

This is in effect a test case for the interaction of WP:NPOL and WP:GNG This person does not pass NPOL, being a candidate who has never held elective office, but is the formally nominated candidate of a major party (and two minor parties as well) for the US Senate from a major state. If any candidate were to be notable purely for being a candidate, Farley would seem to qualify.

There is significant coverage from a variety of major reliable sources, but almost all of it is directly in connection with the campaign. That being a much watched and well funded state-wide campaign for a national legislature in a polarized year from a large state, there is a good deal of it. Again, if this sort of coverage can be held to satisfy the WP:GNG (and the essentially similar WP:BASIC) this would seem to be an example that would. If all this coverage is considered routine under the circumstances, the remaining coverage (see the Town and Country article about Farley's wedding, and the Resident Magazine article about her appointment as NYC Finance chair for the Republican party, both cited in the article currently) does not seem to me to establish separate notability.

There has been considerable discussion of theses issues and the sources on Talk:Chele Farley, in the sections "Notability tag" and "Added additional sourcing". I urge that the comments there be considered as if they were part of this AfD discussion.

I also call attention to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick Little (engineer), where another candidate for the Senate was found not notable under WP:NPOL despite an appeal to the GNG. (Note that I argued to keep that article. I am now bowing to consensus.)

I recommend redirection to United States Senate election in New York, 2018#Republican primary. But if the consensus here is to keep, I would not be unhappy. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 22:47, 19 June 2018 (UTC) DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 22:47, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

  • comment I will post a more detailed defense of the article tomorrow as soon as I have time, but I would like to note that there are significant differences between Farley and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick Little (engineer) as cited by DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs in that Little was a fringe and radical candidate without the support of a national party and only a single endorsement (That of David Duke's) to his name, whereas Farley has secured the nomination of the GOP as well as the Conservative Party and the Reform Parties of New York (both regular players in NY state politics), as well as both sitting and former elected officials, including governors, senators, and congresspeople. YankeesFan85 ( talk) 00:00, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply
    Yes those are significant differences, but I would argue that they made Little the more notable of the pair. That a fringe candidate was apparently doing well in polls, that a candidate was opposed by the formal machinery of the party in whose name he was supposedly running, and that a candidate could support such extreme positions and still apparently poll well made him a quite unusual, and therefore notable, case in my view. Whatever may be said, his coverage was not routine. Do not make the all too common mistake of equating "notable" with "worthy" or even with "important", YankeesFan85. To be notable is to have been taken note of by society at large, to make a significant and lasting mark on some field or area of human activity, for good or for ill. There are no absolute and clear-cut ruelks for what will constitute notability, there are merely rules of thumb, which may be modified over time or in particular cases. They are all judgement calls, on one level or another. At least that is how i see it. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 00:17, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect until at least the election is over. In the unlikely event Farley wins, the text can be restored. 331dot ( talk) 10:24, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect or Delete The coverage that the candidate has is not independent of their candidacy, which could be an argument for WP:BIO1E. The larger argument here is that candidates don't inherently pass WP:NPOL without other notability. Being an investment banker and Republican fundraiser is not notable enough to pass the muster. See Draft:Zak Ringelstein, a Democratic candidate for US Senate in Maine. If people want to be informed about their candidates, local media sources provide plenty of detailed information, as does Ballotpedia. Every election, (especially in the Canadian election articles I've worked on) there are always operatives with a clear WP:CoI who want to promote their candidate. I'm not suggesting that the editor in question has a conflict of interest here, but when John Doe Green Party wants to make an article for his local candidate who they feel has a clear shot of winning, it makes me suspicious of any entry with dubious notability.

  • Redirect to United States Senate election in New York, 2018. This is, and should be the standard practice for candidates for national legislature, who are not notable prior to the campaign. The reasoning is two-fold. First, the election is a(n extended) case of WP:BLP1E as all the coverage about a subject is within the context of the election itself. The second reason is that losing candidates are likely to remain a low-profile individuals after the campaign is over. All of the pertinent information about the subject can be placed in the campaign page (including basic biographical information, polling, and other details about the campaign). If we regularly keep (losing) candidates, there is an increased risk of Wikipedia becoming a repository for campaign material and increases the risks of vandalism (as supporters and opponents of the campaign seek to edit the page to be favorable to their position). -- Enos733 ( talk) 15:19, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to the suggested article per the comments above. SportingFlyer talk 15:21, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Farley is running for the United States Senate. She also is running in the third largest state in the country, which has the #1 media market in the country, and her opponent (Kirsten Gillibrand) is considered by many to be a top tier contender for the 2020 election for President in the Democratic Party. Furthermore, as noted by DES, this year is shaping up to be quite contentious, and interest in this race will be high at not only the state and national levels, but also the international level. It is currently only June but I think it’s safe to say that there will be a lot more coverage of Farley as election day approaches. Some of you are citing WP:BLP1E, though I don’t think it’s fair to characterize a long process that has many individual events over the course of a year as “simply one event”. There will be many more incidents and stories that will occur over the next 5 months which will be covered by national press, as this will be a race that affects not only the 20 million residents of NY state, but the country of 300 million as a whole. Furthermore, Farley’s coverage extends beyond just local publications in New York. Her actions have received coverage from multiple international news sites, including the Jerusalem Post and Arutz Sheva, two major reliable publications in Israel. How many non-incumbent candidates for US elected office receive international coverage? Unlike Ringelstein who some have compared Farley to, a candidate who struggles to get coverage in local Maine publications, Farley has been covered in major national publications like The Wall Street Journal, Politico, The Hill, and Breitbart, among others. Additionally, she has been covered by many of the significant local papers throughout the state, including those both in the City as well as Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, Long Island, Rochester, and others. I believe this is overwhelming evidence that there is significant interest in Farley from the international, national, and local press. Also, this coverage is not solely limited to biographical information. Many of these publications are interested in her beyond simply the fact that she is running: they’re interested in who she is and what she stands for, and therefore an article covering all of this verifiable information is appropriate. Again, Farley blows the requirements of WP:GNG out of the water - you do not get covered by international news publications for being "non-notable". YankeesFan85 ( talk) 16:14, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply
    • Comment To be fair, the Israeli publications aren't actually about her, but rather about her policy on an issue important to that country, and would have been written about any nominee. SportingFlyer talk 16:50, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply
      • Comment It's extremely rare for non-incumbent nominees to get written about in a foreign press, this is in no way "routine coverage". I would also disagree with your characterization that the articles are not "about her". I'm not sure what else they could have said to be more "about her" as is relevant to the Israeli public as they are. YankeesFan85 ( talk) 16:57, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply
        • The Republican nominee running against Gillibrand would say that regardless of who it is. The coverage is not about her per se, but what she said. 331dot ( talk) 17:13, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply
          • Comment This argument seems to be both circular and essentially semantics re: the distinction of whether the article is about "her" or "her views". You might presume what a theoretical nominee may or may not say, but I haven't seen examples of the Israeli press covering any other non-incumbent nominees. YankeesFan85 ( talk) 17:33, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect. At the Senate level, it is certainly possible for an unelected candidate to clear GNG on the basis of receiving substantially more and wider and deeper coverage than most other unelected candidates — it's certainly at least somewhat more likely to happen for a Senate candidate than it is for a House candidate or a state legislature candidate, but it's still by no means whatsoever guaranteed to happen for every Senate candidate. (And further, Senate candidates are also significantly more likely, though still by no means guaranteed, to already have enough preexisting notability for other reasons to have qualified for an article on those grounds anyway, such as having already served in another NPOL-passing political role prior to running for the Senate — so pointing out other examples of Senate candidates who got articles despite losing isn't determinative.) So being a Senate candidate is not an automatic inclusion freebie in and of itself, and it certainly hasn't been demonstrated here that she's already earned special case status. Even if we take YankeesFan's Israeli news stories as getting her out of the starting blocks toward being more notable than the norm, as it stands they're just WP:BLP1E for a single campaign comment, so they don't get her to the finish line all by themselves. Over the course of the election campaign, at least half to two-thirds of all candidates nationwide will be able to show something "out of the ordinary", such as getting namechecked in a "ten races to watch" listicle on CNN or Politico or making a five-minute appearance on Anderson Cooper 360 — so it still takes more than just one "out of the ordinary" thing to make a candidate more notable than the norm. There has to be a substantial body of "out of the ordinary" coverage, not just one or two hits, to make a candidate a special case. If a candidate didn't already have preexisting notability for other reasons besides being a candidate, then she does not instantly clear the bar just because she made one comment that got her a blip of BLP1E coverage in Israel — her international coverage would have to explode to Christine O'Donnell proportions before it clinched permanent ten-year test-passing notability in and of itself.

  • Redirect I don't see any coverage un-related to the election. There's significantly less coverage than for Mark Harris (North Carolina politician), Kara Eastman, or other candidates who have been kept recently.

  • Keep: subject has received significant coverage. Also, all 3 requirements of WP:BLP1E have not been met. Requirement #3 states "If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented." The NY 2018 Senate race is significant. Farley's role in the contest is substantial and documented. Thus BLP1E does not apply in this case.– Lionel( talk) 11:16, 22 June 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Texas Tech University College of Arts & Sciences. The only independent source (i.e. not campus newspaper) that looks to be reliable (as it's published by Wiley Blackwell) is the Philosophical Gourmet Report, but this is misleadingly represented in the entry as currently written; the source does not exactly list this as a "top 12" MA program but rather one "also worth considering" behind programs described as "the top program in the country"; four more with "very strong faculties"; and another four with "strong faculties". So I don't view this as a sufficient claim of notability nor even really anything to salvage in a merge, but it's a valid search term.

The content of this article cannot be verified by RS. In fact, a significant portion of its claims seem dubious. 1.) There is no evidence that Nazi propaganda spoke of the outcome of this referendum on the Anschluss as "Schande von Gaeta". On the contrary see the pertinent collection of primary sources NS-Presseanweisungen der Vorkriegszeit Vol 6/I.: 1938 Quellentexte Januar bis April, Munich 1999. Document 1109, DNB-Rundbrief of 11 April 1938, advises the German press: "Die Meldung ueber die Abstimmung auf dem Panzerschiff Admiral Scheer nicht aufmachen, aber gut platzieren, aber ohne Kommentar". (The news release about the referendum on the battleship Admiral Scheer not to be highlighted, but to be placed well, but without comment. (p. 381) 2.) There is no evidence that historical literature uses the expression, except for one, maybe two pieces which clearly quote Alois Hudal. 3.) The referendum at Gaeta was one of several for Austrian and German expatriates on German warships. It was not a referendum of Catholic seminarians alone. (see Volker Koop: Hitlers fünfte Kolonne. 2009, S. 129.) 4.) There are two sources which suggest that the outcome of the poll was 90% against the Anschluss. One is a Catholic Polish internet magazine which does not cite any sources. The other is an article by Robert A. Graham. He neither cites any sources to back up his claim. These claims seem dubious, because 5.) According to the Neues Wiener Tageblatt, 12. April 1938 [2] 6,348 persons cast their vote upon the Scheer. 358 of these voted "No", 135 votes were not valid. Thus 92% approved of the Anschluss, which was much less than was expected by the Nazis and less than on the other warships. This was blamed on the hostile German exiles and priests.

Family detention

Per WP:NEO or WP is not a dictionary. For deletion or at least a redirect to a proper target, if there is one. This imparts no more than a dictionary definition - ie 'family detention is a situation where family members are detained together.' This does not discuss why the idea of family detention is notable. Being used in news sources is not establishing why the term warrants an article.

The court case (half the article) mentioned discusses a judge who held child migrants had to be released from detention centers -the holding itself has nothing to do with family detention centers.

Immigration is a hot topic, but there is no reason this article needs to exist. Again, it does not impart anything meaningful upon the reader, and at best uses synthesis to pull together sources which use the term. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 20:06, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

Update in response to votes: Does usage of a term mean it automatically deserve a WP article? I certainly think not. I'm not sure what significance we can show other than 'yes, families being detained together is called family detention.' I don't see what this can offer that articles on detentions and immigration issues generally don't already cover. This seems to have been created in haste in response to controversy around the separation of families at the border. I don't know why any reader would need to know what 'family detention' means when they can just figure it out using common sense.

I believe El Cid is misrepresenting the article's contents. "imparts no more than a dictionary definition" Is not true. User:Pharos and I didn't rip off a dictionary, and I went on to discuss three terms (all from sources which discuss the recurring issue of "family detention") used for the places where it is done. I went on to discuss a recent court case where policies regarding FD were redefined. This is a stub and should be given some time to grow before immediately targetting it. I'll add some further content to this if it might stem ECEC's complaining, but "not..meaningful" and "no more than" is a blatent falsehood.
I don't understand how someone can say the holding of people has nothing to do with the centers in which they are held...
Please see special:diff/846607980 I have added some new content discussing the history of family detention. This is clearly more than just a dictionary definition. I think there is clear reason for the article to exist. ScratchMarshall ( talk) 20:23, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. (edit conflict) The article is still a stub and has existed for all of 2 hours. The intro actually says 'family detention refers to multiple family members being held together in an immigration detention context' - I fixed the dicdef issue before you posted this AfD. The issue of detaining families together or separating them in an immigration detention context, or choosing not to detain, is an important one globally, not just confined to the US, and this article should explore the different approaches by country. See for example Women's Refugee Commission report.-- Pharos ( talk) 20:25, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - legitimate article on a notable topic, more than a mere dictionary definition. The article may have been created in response to recent political controversy, but that doesn't mean it's not a viable subject.

User:Egaoblai That is exactly why the article should be deleted. Trivial mentions do not count, being a part of an article is not enough.

I don't know anything about the reliability of these sources, but you can't call the coverage trivial mentions, and you can't call the coverage "local", unless you say it is local because it only covers Nigeria.

  • Keep. This is a tricky one, and I can see why people are !voting on both sides. There is coverage in sources, but these are dismissed as local, and that Michael/Mike/Myke Ikoku is only of local interest. But "local" in this case depends on a world view which sees Nigeria as a small community. However, Nigeria is the leading country in Africa, and is the seventh largest country in the world by population. We are troubled on Wikipedia by Systemic bias which leads us to see events and people and sources in the West as more reliable and important than those in Second or Third world countries. We do struggle with sources that are based in Africa and India, even though they may be comparable with Western sources. Ikoku is mentioned in a range of Nigerian publications in a familiar manner to suggest he is a notable figure there. One of his companies is a leading hotel listed on TripAdvisor. In terms of Nigeria he is notable. As Nigeria is not a small backward village, but a significant country with a significant population, he meets WP:BASIC.

  • Selective merge to article on Sydney trains. As it at the moment, this article is badly typed (I saw at least one spelling mistake) and the first part is taken up with a conspicuous notice about a sandbox being in the article's namespace. However, there might be enough information to be taken from this article and merged with the article on Sydney trains. I do not think there is enough in this article to justify having a standalone article, and the notice about a sandbox does suggest that this article was created by a relatively new user of Wikipedia. Vorbee ( talk) 17:01, 11 June 2018 (UTC) reply
    • The fact it had a {{ User sandbox}} tag should have no bearing on a keep, merge or delete decision. I simply removed the tag. This is something I do fairly often. New editors can't be expected to be fully aware of all our procedures. wbm1058 ( talk) 18:00, 11 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • I think it is very likely that this topic will be notable. There are several newspaper articles on the new trains. However they fail to identify them as "b set". If the writer can come up with reliable sources, and not fan sites that would be good, but a merge may be needed until there is real reliable information about the name. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 08:45, 12 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Article deletion or merging is most suitable, as the information is inaccurate, and there is accurate information already on the Sydney Trains A Set page. The names are correct - the internal order was indeed known as SGT (Sydney Growth Train), the trains are targeted as B-sets B1 through B24, and I've included correct carriage numbering on the page concerned. ~Jaymie Treadwell - I don't have a User/usertalk page on here, editing as visitor only.

  • Comment- While none of the sources individually show in-depth coverage but collectively they show that reliable sources, including the largest newspapers in Bangladesh, have covered it since the magazines founding. The fact that it holds official events with government agencies in Bangladesh and outside show that it has some credibility. It is the first Computer magazine in the 8th largest country in the world by Population would have some degrees of notability through having pioneer advantage and a large captive audience. A former government Minister in West Bengal, India, identified this magazine in an interview with DW as a type of Bengali language publications they would like in India. Some common sense application of policy is needed here and not an overly bureaucratic response. Look at articles on other computer magazines like MacMinute, MacGuide, MacWEEK, Windows Magazine, etc, who have far fewer sources and still not deleted or even nominated. Why the delete votes despite sources? see Wikipedia:Systemic bias. By comparison this pioneering magazine has received continued coverage from a wide spectrum of national news media in Bangladesh.

  • Delete Listed sources are all minor and mostly in-passing. The !vote above makes an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument that fails to convince me. -- Randykitty ( talk) 04:10, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Magazines and newspapers are always difficult to find sources. Rival publishing houses will rarely want to discuss them, even if notable, and publishing houses associated with the periodical will be dismissed as not independent. We should therefore be cautious about declaring a subject non-notable after a cursory search fails to turn up in-depth coverage. Further, there is a language problem to overcome here. I am seeing a fair smattering of cites in books and scholarly papers to articles in the magazine. While that does not in itself establish notability, I find that encouraging and it shows that the subject is more than an unnotable enthusiast magazine. This paper on internet access in Bangladesh discusses the subject and opens with "The pioneering and bold computer magazine of Bangladesh, The Monthly Computer Jagat,..." While that discussion is somewhat less than in-depth, it is more than a passing mention. I also find it encouraging that scholars are willing to declare their editorship of Computer Jagat in the brief author bios sometimes included in published papers such as Nibaran Das does in this paper, again showing that the magazine has some kind of scholarly status in Bangladesh. I know this is all very weak, but it is enough to convince me not to delete. Spinning Spark 11:10, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I have tried to search for sources in the magazine's native language. I believe the correct search term is "কম্পিউটার জগৎ". Not speaking Bengali, this is difficult for me to assess the results, but there does indeed seem to be some in-depth coverage. For instance, there is this news item of a collaboration between the magazine and the Bangladesh Computer Society. Spinning Spark 12:19, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply

Isis Finlay

I am not convinced of Finlay's notability. There is no SNG for beauty pageant winners, so unfortunately we have to use the WP:GNG or else WP:ENT.

I searched the following areas and did not come up with any substantive content about Finlay, aside from her obituary.

  • The usual Google, GNews, GBooks, GScholar
  • Archive.org (metadata, text, and archived websites)
  • Cuban Heritage Collection Digital Collections, University of Miami
  • Library of Congress
  • Digital Collections - The Cuban Revolution at Yale
  • Granma Archives Index
  • Miami Herald archives (obituary from here)

Newspapers.com shows a number of routine exact-duplicate paragraph-length reports from July 1954, reporting that she won Miss Cuba, with others mentioning that she was competing in Miss Universe. I would argue that routine coverage of that nature, limited to the time around the event, does not satisfy WP:N, which requires coverage to be over a significant length of time. (Especially since these were almost all duplicates, presumably from a news agency, which means they aren't really independent of one another). In essence, Finlay is a WP:BLP1E - she won Miss Cuba once and then never really made the news again. I don't think that qualifies her for notability by our standards. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 06:18, 4 June 2018 (UTC) reply

I think she is notable for of winning Miss Cuba and for being in Miss Universe. Carole King Johnson, Miss USA 1955 and Charlotte Scheffield, Miss USA 1957 only reference is their Obits; so what makes them notable if not winning Miss USA and participating in Miss Universe? Or are Miss USA winners more notable than Miss Cuba? Forgive me if I entered this incorrectly but I have not made an entry in Wikipedia in a few years. Callelinea ( talk) 21:36, 7 June 2018 (UTC) reply

Hi Callelinea, I think you meant Carlene King Johnson and Charlotte Sheffield, if I'm not mistaken (just so anyone looking at the comment can see the links). " Other articles exist" is a common argument to make at AfD, but it's important to judge every article by its own merits and not by those of other articles. For what it's worth, I agree that the sourcing on those two articles is not great, and if there's nothing else for them, they should probably also be deleted - but that's an argument to have at their AfDs, not this one.
Something difficult about articles for pageant winners is that, as I mentioned in my nomination, there's no specific notability guideline (SNG) for them - nothing that tells us, "the winners of Pageant X are presumed notable, the winners of Pageant Y are not", etc. So we have to fall back on the general notability guideline (GNG). Possibly a case could be made for using the criteria for entertainers (ENT) to judge her by.
In Ms. Finlay's case, I couldn't find very much in-depth independent coverage of her, which leads me to believe she doesn't qualify under the GNG. I also found no evidence that she meets the criteria for entertainers (Significant roles in multiple notable productions, large fan base or a significant "cult" following, or unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment).
If you disagree, the best thing to do is locate in-depth reliable sources that would show that she passes GNG or ENT, which would mean the article should be kept. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 22:17, 7 June 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. There's only one non- primary source here to even begin establishing notability, and it just links to a general content directory for the defunct local community weekly while providing no title or date information to help us figure out where in its 100+-year haystack the content actually being cited might be found. This is exactly why I keep getting on people's necks about the need to provide complete citation details and not just blank URLs or links to generic content directories. Something like this would have to clear WP:ORGDEPTH on the basis of coverage that expanded beyond just the local weekly newspaper, but there's no evidence of that being shown at all. It can absolutely be briefly mentioned in the town's article, but the sourcing here doesn't earn it a standalone article of its own independently of that. Bearcat ( talk) 19:37, 20 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Acton, Ontario. As it stands we have an article about an event based on poor sources. I'm not seeing much available beyond some rather routine local coverage. It's presently mentioned in the main Acton article, so a redirect seems sensible. I would say that I don't oppose a merge, but as the current article is based almost entirely on primary sources there's not really anything to be merged. No opposition if someone wants to elaborate on its coverage in the Acton article a bit. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:28, 25 June 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates for mayor of their city — and campaign-related coverage in the local media does not get a candidate over WP:GNG in and of itself, because campaign-related coverage in the local media always exists for every candidate in any election. To get over GNG, he would have to either (a) already have preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him a Wikipedia article anyway, or (b) have his campaign-related coverage explode so far out of the ordinary and expected that he had a credible claim to being more notable than most other mayoral candidates in most other cities. But neither of those things has been shown true here (and no, the historic firsts that he will represent if he wins an election he hasn't won yet are not strong claims of specialness for a candidate, either). Certainly this will be recreatable on or after election day if he wins, but nothing here is a reason why he would already qualify for an article this far in advance of the election.

  • A "courtesy call" is a fairly common English usage. Or was. In Anglo-American society "courtesy calls" were formal social calls paid to categories of people, a hostess after a party, newlywed couples, families who had just moved ot the neighborhood, families in mourning. I am frankly not sure that we need an article on this phrase. But I would oppose redirecting it to the Navy or to the diplomatic corps.

non notable, and primarily an advertisement for an small aircraft chartering company. . A considerable amount of advertising has been removed already, but what remains is essentially a promotional directory entry, sourced only to press releases, notices, and a promotional interview with the ceo discussing his plans for the future.. The only exception is references to a minor safety incident that involved one of the aircraft. There has been considerable edit warring if it should be included--I think it should , if there is to be an article, but it alone is not enough to justify one .

The source cited is permanently dead and I cannot find an archive. Source searches reveal mainly affiliated sources or fan videos and a blog post. I cannot evaluate one more source from a website called "AnimationExpress" as my antivirus has identified it as hazardous.

Does not meet WP:CORPDEPTH. One of the many sources in the article is independent but that is a trivial mention (the company founder is quoted briefly) - the rest of the sources are company listings or press releases (including slightly rewritten press releases).

  • Delete - Article fails to meet the criteria of a number of Wikipedia guidelines and policies. WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH are both left unmet due to a lack of in-depth, independent coverage. Note that the vast majority of the sources cited by the article are press releases ("Startup/IPO Tunego raises X amount of money" as a hypothetical) announcing funding, which is an issue as Tunego does not (per WP:NOTINHERITED) inherit notability from its investors nor artists using it, and press releases do not fulfill WP:NCORP's criteria for valid sources. Per the nominator's point, the article is also awash with churnalism and corporate spam, as could probably be expected given that it was created by a disclosed paid editor. Note also that the sources cited indicate that, as of May 2018 the company has raised around $13 million, which is a trival amount when compared to other companies; this raises WP:MILL issues as the company does not denote why it is notable when compared to other similar companies, and WP:TOOSOON needs to be considered as the company is relatively small and still considered a newcomer to the industry.-- SamHolt6 ( talk) 18:24, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

Non-notable individual lacking in-depth, non-trivial support. Links are brief mentions, interviews, or lack mention of individual. Appears to fails WP:N. Article created by paid editor. reddogsix ( talk) 05:06, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, for the same reasons as were given by everybody except the creator of the article in the previous discussion. There was no evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines when that discussion took place, and there is none now. References are not independent sources, or do not give substantial coverage, or both. Four of the references are merely announcements of an appointment in trade publications and similar, and they contain substantial amounts of text which sentence by sentence gives slightly paraphrased copies of the same statements: clearly merely four write-ups of the same press release. There are web sites which exist largely (or in some cases even entirely) by publishing paid for write-ups of press releases in this way, and presenting it as though it were independent journalism. Other references are no better, including, for example, a mere list of Kelly-Clyne's works, and one of them doesn't even mention him at all. This article is a good example of one of the problems caused by paid editors who come here to use Wikipedia to promote their clients. In such cases there is a severe conflict of interest, as the editor has a vested interest in trying to get the article accepted, which conflicts with the interest of trying to make sure that content follows Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If this discussion ends in delete, as the first one did, I hope the editor will now accept consensus, rather than creating an article to publicise his or her non-notable client for a third time.

Disagree that it should be deleted. It is a true classic of the house-music genre. Added more citations re NPR, moby. If you google "the best classic house" and the track you get lots of hits.

  • Weak Keep - The sources found by the previous voters must be added to the article to make it more viable. Those sources indicate that this group had one big song that charted in US and UK, which in turn generated a little media notice at the time and some more recent "lost classic"-style nostalgia.

The company and it's activities are notable in the field in which it operates and has been reported on by most cyptocurrency news websites and on mainstream media. In my view the article is not a promotional piece but a succinct, factual account of the company and activities. Citations are present from a disperate range of sources.

  • Request for clarification. The article doesn't state anything about this in its body text, but it's been categorized in Category:Uttar Pradesh MLAs 2017–22. I don't know nearly enough about Indian politics to know whether this is a badly written article about an incumbent MLA that just needs to be repaired to put the basis for notability where it belongs, or whether the creator just copy-pasted another article as a "template" and failed to remove the irrelevant categories. Can somebody with better Hindi or Urdu language skills than mine verify either way? If she is an MLA, then it's a keep with refimprove because she would pass WP:NPOL #1 — but if she's not, then it's a delete as the position the body text does claim for her is not an "inherently" notable one and the sourcing (comprising glancing namechecks of her existence in coverage of other things, not coverage about her) isn't getting her over WP:GNG.

Article was previously deleted by User Callanecc ( talk · contribs) for not being notable per a PROD nomination by User BU Rob13 ( talk · contribs). Article was recreated by User Mayamaya7 ( talk · contribs) immediately after Tap Tap Revenge 2 and Template:Tap Tap series were nominated for deletion per the same notability issues. Previous articles Tap Tap Revenge 3, Tap Tap Revenge 4, Nine Inch Nails Revenge, and Nirvana Revenge have all been deleted or redirected per lack of WP:Notability and WP:Reliable Sources. User Mayamaya7 ( talk · contribs) restored all of these around the same time without consensus, and they are all now back to redirects thanks to User Polyamorph ( talk · contribs).

I also propose deleting Tap Tap Revenge 2 and bundling it with this AfD. It currently has a separate AD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tap Tap Revenge 2. Also of note is the Tap Tap Series Template which is also up for deletion at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2018_June_16#Template:Tap_Tap_series.

Bundling only makes sense at the outset when the articles in the article group will not be discussed individually. It makes more sense to ping those who participated above to see the other discussion as well than to merge that discussion here when the above participants may or may not agree that its case is identical to the one under discussion.

A BLP that lacks sources that discuss the subject directly and in detail. Sigificant RS coverage not found. The article is cited to online directories, industry publicity materials, and other sources otherwise not suitable for notability. Does not meet WP:PORNBIO / WP:NACTOR. No significant awards or notable contributions to the genre. The award listed is scene related.

The first AfD closed as "no consensus" in 2010, the second one as "delete" in 2013. K.e.coffman ( talk) 00:07, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Super strong delete This article shows everything that is wrong with Wikipedia. In the 2010 keep discussion people actually argued to keep based on sources that in the same breath they admitted were primary sources. If an article is being built on primary sources it is not follwing in the wake of reliable source coverage, but trying to forge it. I am not sure in what world of unrighted wrongs we would even want to force more coverage of pronographic performers. However, since righting wrongs is not the purpose of Wikipedia, we do not do it. Ivy fails any and all GNG tests. The sourcing on her is never reliable. I think it is high time we scapped the horrible pornographic notability guidelines and wrote some new ones that had a likely connection with coverage in reliable sources, as opposed to the promotional, spammy goobledy gook churned out by the pornography industry itself. True, the pornography articles have been regulated to the extent that the total number of articles in Category:American pornographic film actresses has actually gone down. I think it was once over 500, maybe even over 600, it is now below 400. Still, it is a huge category, and far bigger than is at all needed. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 05:24, 21 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment It is time that Wikipedia reigned in its unreasonable coverage of utter drek. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 05:27, 21 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - @ Johnpacklambert: I believe that 500 in a universe of 5 million articles is not a problem. I perceive a delecionism in articles related to pornography. But I agree with you that WP:PORNOBIO should be updated, maybe even deleted and WP:NACTOR changed to include pornstars. Awards can be partial, while criteria like popularity are not taken into account. Guilherme Burn ( talk) 12:07, 21 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. No eligible award wins to pass WP:PORNBIO. Lacks significant secondary source coverage to pass WP:BASIC/WP:GNG. • Gene93k ( talk) 12:19, 21 June 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Not materially improved over the version deleted in 2013. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. ( talk) 18:33, 23 June 2018 (UTC) reply

This is an article dedicated to a single office within a much larger university. The provost of a university generally lacks the notability to be included in an encyclopedia article as a separate entry, and much of the material on the page reads as if it was pulled from the websites for the university describing those programs. Uncrfe ( talk) 21:21, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. The article looks more like a page from publicity material for the university than an article in an encyclopedia. Also there doesn't seem to be significant enough coverage in independent sources for notability. Breaking sticks ( talk) 21:59, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Kinda sad that an admin is responsible for most of the content here. You'd think an admin would have a better handle on notability guidelines and the GNG. Superficially, there are lots of sources, but once you eliminate primary sources and touch on WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:GEOSCOPE, what you got here is a lot of namedrops and casual mentions.

@ NukeThePukes: What are you talking about? The article was mostly written by Mike Cline three years before he became an administrator. Breaking sticks ( talk) 22:19, 24 June 2018 (UTC) reply
