Does not appear to be a notable term: I have been unable to find any reliable or academic sources that use this "Green Banana" term in the context of megalopolises, only forums at best. There also doesn't seem to be an indication that the term is widely used either, unlike Blue Banana (indeed, the article itself admits that the term is "lesser known"), Considering green bananas (as in the fruit) exist, this could possibly work as a redirect to a banana-related article, though considering the current article text, a delete-redirect might be a better option here.
Speedy Delete or move to draft; if the re-creator hasn't added any references it's not worth anyone's time to re-litigate this.
Blue Banana is stupid but seems to have enough references,
Golden Banana probably doesn't but I can't prove it. This is just a non-notable neologism, like the "Yellow Banana" (Paris-Warsaw) or the "Red Octopus" (I don't even know where).

Double Speedy Delete (see my PPS) as a hopelessly nonnotable neologism (sources are extremely scarse and nondefinitive). Assuming good faith, I may guess that the article was recreated due to prominent
red green banana in "
Megalopolis" the previous deleter failed to remove.
I removed it], together tith the surrounding unreferenced stuff (tagged since 2017). So I guess this time the article will be gone for good, I hope.

PPS A wasted a bit of by curiosity charge and IMO it looks like we have a mild case of "
citogenesis" here: green banana
was fed to Megalopolis in April 2013 by an anon IP. And it appears all references in the outer world, including
this supposedly reliable one are based on various versions of Wikipedia "Megalopolis" article.

Delete, of course, and with haste; otherwise, "Keep" as a useful example of how articles should NOT be created in Wikipedia. As it stands, it has no sources, contains only personal opinion, reads like a hurried essay, offers a personal viewpoint, refers to a non-notable subject, and even contains a nonsensical map. Its creator simply could not care less. -

Delete - The term "New Jersey hardcore" has actually been used by various bands in that scene to describe themselves; here is one example:
[1], and others can be found online. However this is still an attempt at self-categorization in which similar bands from the same area try to promote their scene. The concept is insignificant unless it is noticed by
reliable media sources in the outside world, as has happened for scenes like
West Coast hip hop or
Swedish death metal etc. Not so for these Jersey fellas. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

WP:BLP of the mayor of a town with a population of less than one thousand people. As always, every mayor of everywhere does not get an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing as a mayor -- to qualify as notable, a mayor has to have enough
reliable source coverage about him in real media to enable us to write something genuinely substantive about him and his political career. But three of the four references here are
primary sources that do absolutely nothing to establish a person's notability at all -- a press release from his alma mater, the staff directory of his own employer and the statewide database of all teacher salaries in Pennsylvania -- and the fourth is just a raw table of election results. These are not the kind of sources it takes to make a smalltown mayor notable just for being a mayor.

Speedy keep, obviously notable. I don't know why anyone would think that a large power station would not be notable, but a proper
WP:BEFORE would soon have set you straight. The effect of warm water from the station on the lake ecology has been extensively studied;
Boitsov, M.P. (1971), "The effect of warm water discharged by the Konakovo Power Station on the distribution and growth of youn fishes of Ivan'kovo Resorvoir",
Journal of Ichthyology, vol. 11, iss. 2, pp. 257-262.
The above is a translation from the original Russian in Voprosy ikhtiologii, vol. 11, pp. 325-331.
The above is a translation from the original Russian in Voprosy ikhtiologii, vol. 14, pp. 1046-1054.
T. Langford,
Ecological Effects of Thermal Discharges, briefly discusses Konakovo and lists at least two more papers [Sappo (1975), Sappo (1976)] in the biliography which are explicitly about warm water from Konakovo.
Other sources more concerned with the engineering and construction of the plant include,
An article in
The Daily Review, vol. 15, p. 71 has an article that includes this snippet; "Mikhail Poliakov, Hero of Socialist Labour, leader of the erectors' team, is installing the fifth million kilowatt of capacities at the Konakovo power station, or four times in excess of pre -revolutionary Russia's total power output." This is clearly a longer article, but that's all I could get in snippet view.
Thermal Engineering, vol. 23 has some discussion of the station at page 18 (sorry, couldn't get the name of the article) and the article at page 32, "Feedwater and condensate of supercritical thermal power station generating units using ammonia and hydrazine" might be largely about Konakovo Power Station judging by the snippet.
These are only the sources that come up in the English language. I'm pretty sure that there must be much more in Russian language sources if a Russian speaker would care to look for us.

Redirect, probably to
Ciudad del Este, if not "Keep and develop". Or redirect specifically to a new section in that city article. This would conform to
wp:ATD; we are obligated to look for decent alternatives to deletion. Sure the current list doesn't look great, it should probably have been blacklinks with some description about each neighborhood, and with a map of the neighborhoods, instead of its current bare list of redlinks appearance. But Ciudad del Este is apparently the second largest city in Paraguay and has population around 300,000. It has a long history and its neighborhoods can be significant in explaining/describing the city. It could be reasonable to list the neighborhoods in a section in the city article. It could be reasonable to restore the list-article eventually when Wikipedia gets around to developing more geo coverage in S. America in general, or when someone from Paraguay gets around to developing this specific topic. Note there are zillions of members of
Category:Lists of neighbourhoods. It is reasonable to save the edit history, and specifically its content being a list of neighborhood names, in edit history at the redirect. No reason to punish whoever started this, just a little bit ahead of the curve. --

Also, note the discussion so far mentions searching on lists of neighborhoods, and mentions looking for ES stubs on neighborhoods, but I don't think there is any assertion above about having searched for coverage about each of the specific neighborhoods mentioned. Many or all of them could easily be "list-item notable" for inclusion in a restored list-article eventually, with definition of their boundaries and description of why each one is important, etc. I am reminded that for
San Juan, Puerto Rico, whose
Districts section, was questioned somehow, or for whom separate district articles were disputed, that I think it is important to define the barrios as places. In part to allow for reasonable treatment of articles about bridges and roads between them, some of which are listed on the U.S.
National Register of Historic Places. For San Juan, a city of 400,000, there are 60 historic bridges or other sites which are covered in Wikipedia. Eventually there should be equivalent coverage of modern arenas, other landmarks, and historic sites, and having the barrios defined is simply necessary, like having vocabulary, to describe them. --

Comment Google maps shows defined boundaries for numerous neighborhoods including:
"Barrio Centro, Ciudad del Este, Paraguay"
"Barrio Boqueron, Ciudad del Este, Paraguay"
"Barrio Boqueron, Ciudad del Este, Paraguay"
"Area 1, Ciudad del Este, Paraguay"
"Area 8, Ciudad del Este, Paraguay"
and so on, corresponding to the listed. These must therefore be official districts/communities defined by the city. Try searching Google about Barrio Boqueron, say, and it is apparently a term used in many real estate listings. On basis that Wikipedia is a gazetteer about places, and these are well-defined places/districts/communities, I think this list-article is actually best kept and developed.
wp:NGEO. Having the list-article is helpful in heading off stub articles being created for each of the separate places separately, too. Without decent development of the list-article yet, redirect for now is not great but is better than outright deletion. --

Note, each of the current redlinks could be created as redirects to the list-article, then the list-article items changed to simple blacklinks. Then there are no unsightly redlinks.
And, umm, try searching on "departamentos en ciudad del este" or "barrios en ciudad del este". The deletion nominator was only trying to search in English, maybe? --

Deleterun of the mill lawyer and businessman. Subject fails
WP:GNG, for while they are named in several sources, these sources by and large do not concern D'Andrea; rather, they focus on entities that D'Andrea is affiliated with, which is an issue given that subjects do not inherit notability (
WP:NOTINHERITED) from other, more notable topics. Thus these mentions should not be construed as conferring undue notability on D'Andrea, and I would wager they constitute mentions in passing or trivial mentions. It should also be noted that Wikipedia does not hold businessmen or lawyers to be innately notable, and that chambers of commerce (several of which D'Andrea is a member of) often name members based on financial contributions. Finally, nothing indicates why the subject is individually notable when compared to other corporate lawyers or why anything about D'Andrea has any longterm encyclopedic notability.--

I've read it (I do understand Russian language perfectly), including Googling further, and I don't think that very trivial mentions (in sources with questionalble reliability) about very minor accident (like a transformator fire) or stuff like "in 2007–2015 on six stations (ТЭЦ-12, ТЭЦ-16, ТЭЦ-20, ТЭЦ-21, ТЭЦ-26 и ТЭЦ-27) the seven new block-units were introduced" still make this station "notable"... And every secondary source which provides brief historical data about this station basically copies info from primary self-published source,
which is this one, which also has highly questionable claims (for example claims about efficiency). But that's just my opinion after researching this for some time... Also, I don't know why
this reference was just added today, but it has absolitely NOTHING to do with the station near Moscow since it only talks about different station near certain city in Crimea.

The article is a SYNTH based OR COATRACK. The subject of the article, a purported common cause to the killing of communists across multiple societies, does not exist in any scholarly literature. The only literature I know of, from wide reading over 15 years, is the citation added recently: a "unique" claim in psychosexual history based off a single country study. This does not make a scholarly discourse regarding a theoretical, structural or process across multiple societies. The response to Courtois "Blackbook" was to reject the domain of large scale causes. And if there isn't a discourse on a common cause, then all we have is a list produced by wikipedian editors as an original synthesis of a coatrack

Joseph Stalin, maybe Mao, maybe Hitler. However, we need at least a couple of good books which covers this topic as a coherent subject. I do not see them. Google books search returns
this result (i.e. the killings by communist governments and a single anticommunist killing in Indonesia). Yes, this subject only exists in connection to mass killings by the communists. Only this latter subject (mass killings by the communists) has indeed every right to exist - based on the books immediately retrieved by the google search.

Strong Keep. This is a major topic that absolutely does exist in scholarly literature on anti-communism. Of course the sources don't necessarily use the phrase "anti-communist mass killings" in talking about it, so doing a simple search for that phrase isn't going to be very helpful in finding relevant information. But there are many sources that talk about the general phenomenon of anti-communist forces killing real or suspected communists across multiple countries - which is the topic of the article. Probably the best source on this subject right now is the book
Revolutionaries for the Right: Anticommunist Internationalism and Paramilitary Warfare in the Cold War. It focuses precisely on anti-communist violence and mass killings across multiple countries over an extended period of time.
It's also easy to find chapters or sections dealing with anti-communist mass killings within books and articles that talk about international anti-communism more broadly. Here are just a few examples of sources that dedicate some significant space to this topic. The key to finding them is to use a variety of search terms related to anti-communism and large-scale killings, not merely the phrase "anti-communist mass killings".
Just because there aren't any books out there with the phrase "anti-communist mass killings" in the title, that doesn't mean there are no books or articles that talk about the topic of mass killings carried out by anti-communists across multiple countries. There are.
The article is not inherently a Synthesis or a Coatrack. The topic exists in reliable sources. Of course, the article as it stands right now may be a Coatrack - I can see it has very serious problems - but that just means it should be improved.
Finally, I don't understand the argument that the article should be deleted because there are no sources talking about "a purported common cause to the killing of communists across multiple societies". The name of the article is
anti-communist mass killings, not
causes of anti-communist mass killings. And there are sources talking about such killings as an international phenomenon. What does it matter if the sources adequately address the causes or not? If there are reliable sources talking about multiple anti-communist mass killings across multiple countries, then the topic exists in scholarship. It doesn't matter precisely what the sources say about it, as long as they cover the topic. --

They do cover the general subject of anti-communist repressions in multiple countries, including most of the ones currently mentioned in the article. I'm not sure what would qualify as all countries. Obviously anti-communist repressions didn't happen in every country. And of course we can disagree about which countries and which repressions fall under this topic (which killings are "mass" killings, for example). Maybe some need to be removed from the article, and others need to be added. The article certainly needs to be improved to follow the sources more closely. But the fact that sources don't necessarily talk about all possible examples doesn't mean the topic doesn't exist. --

Keep (conditionally), although I am not too happy about that article, when I looked at some sources presented above, I have to concede the topic does exist. Although one may argue that Stalin, probably, killed more communists than everybody else (except Hitler), that is hardly a relevant argument. If we compare this article with its twin (MKuCR), this article's topic is crystal clear: "What this article is telling about?" About killings of communists by anti-communists. "Why communists were being killed?" Because they were communists. "Who were perpetrators?" The people who declared their anti-communism. In other words, all these events followed more or less uniform pattern, were motivated by the same factor, and both perpetrators and victims were clearly defined. In this article: Helen Fein. Revolutionary and Antirevolutionary Genocides: A Comparison of State Murders in Democratic Kampuchea, 1975 to 1979, and in Indonesia, 1965 to 1966. Comparative Studies in Society and History, Vol. 35, No. 4 (Oct., 1993), pp. 796-823 Stable URL:

P.S. Upon meditation, I came to conclusion that, if we will use a really strict NOR standards, this article may be considered a synthesis. However, these standards should be applied globally, which means "Mass killings under communist regimes" article should be deleted too, because only few books cover the topic. These books are Red Holocaust, Black Book of Communism and one chapter in the Valentino's "Final solution". However, we already have separate articles for the first two books, so, if strict NOR standard will be applied to this article, MKuCR artcile should go too (and, by the way, no loss of content will occur, because each separate subject discussed in that article already has its own article).--

Mass killings under Communist regimes. That documents government killings by a certain (possibly artificial) category of government; this documents targeted killings of members of a certain ideology.

Keep/Rename -- This is certainly not a pleasant subject, but that does not mean that we should not have an article. We have "main articles" on a number of these, which means that the entries here should be kept modest in length (as most are). However, I would suggest
Mass Killings of Communists as the title. The circumstances differ: some were clearly anti-insurgency operations; others may have been like genocides, though they cannot be classified as genocide, since the criterion was political belief, not ethnicity.

Keep the article. This is dangerous ground. We have to ignore politics (for some people, such an article, might look like support for communism!) and focus on
policy and the
encyclopaedic objective.
Clearly, as there have been mass killings by communists against their opponents of whatever persuasion, even apolitical people, there have also been mass killings of communists and sympathizers by anticommunists. This is all trivially, widely, and in-depth presented in historical texts of impeccable credentials. The cases provided above by
Damoclus, in the form of already extant Wikipedis articles, are only indicative of the historical references. Propaganda by all sides will always use, of course, an opposite side's killings; but the decision here should not be taken under some kind of fear we'd be "engaging in propaganda." Wikipedia
rejects censorship and is
unafraid of controversies. -

17:07, 25 June 2018 (UTC)reply
P.S. :
Vanamonde raises an interesting point: When those killed are not all communists, how can we name the killings as "anticommunist"? Well, the same sources that describe such events make quite clear that the incentive behind the killings was the violent repression and elimination of communists, plus anyone deemed to be a "fellow traveler," a "sympathizer," an "ally," etc. In ideological wars, we know that personal differences were also sometimes settled under the guise of ideology. Again, example abound. This, however, does not change the fact the war was based on and conducted on the basis of ideology. The
obvious, common title, then, is "communist" and "anticommunist" this or that. -

Completely unreferenced article about a television "series" which aired on a single defunct channel, and was really just the block title for movies. Something like this could certainly qualify for an article if
reliable source coverage could be shown to analyze the history and cultural context of the programming block as a thing — see e.g. Saturday Night at the Movies, where there's context and history galore — but it doesn't get an automatic free pass over
WP:TVSHOW just for existing, if we can't write or source any real substance about it beyond the mere fact that it existed.

All of the extant articles used for references here are problematic: there are interviews with the subject (see
WP:IV) that are not about the subject but rather his work. It seems his work is notable. But the interviews tell us nothing about the author other than that he wrote some comics. The first thing that shows up in a Google search is this very Wikipedia article, followed by interviews about his work and then his publications. Substantive discussion about the subject in reliable independent sources? Am not seeing it.

Delete for subject obviously failing the relevant criteria of notability. The criterion #2 in

Greetings. I'd be honestly glad if you or anyone else could direct me to a Wikipedia policy that considers as equivalent one of the awards specifically named in
WP:NSONG with any one the awards won by the contested subject. Or, at the very least, some
Wikireliable sources that claim such equivalence. Take care. -
The Gnome (

05:25, 27 June 2018 (UTC)reply
Were I to look into the source you provided,
Hzh, I'd find that the subject song has not been "topping the charts" but "ruling the charts," which, of course, is but another
promotional term used by agents, fans, and other involved parties to big up the success of a song. Perhaps the contested song topped the charts, indeed; we need clearer reporting than such jargon.
As to the sources you cited, I do not see what they have to do with anything: The subject still fails WP:NSONG. You might believe there's something wrong, e.g. cultural bias, with the
WP:NSONG policy, but we decide on the basis of
policy and not
personal viewpoints.
P.S. Not that the sources you cited amount to anything: The first and the second use almost identical wording (e.g. "Chinmayi, who sang the duet along with Javed Ali, said she was initially apprehensive as she did not know if her voice would be retained," etc), the result no doubt of the promotional efforts by the singer's camp. Kudos for that, folks, but no Wikipedia cigar. And the third source is a book about
Tamil cinema where the song is name-dropped once among the other songs in the Enthiran movie. -
The Gnome (

If you want to argue that ruling the chart does not mean topping the chart, then please note that charting by itself can be notable. The other sources do concur that the song was a popular song, in addition to the awards won.

Enthiran (soundtrack) as that can help expand the soundtrack article and prevent its merger with the
parent article. Kailash29792(talk)13:56, 28 June 2018 (UTC)reply
Yes,
Hzh, I will certainly argue that "ruling the chart does not mean topping the chart." Not the first time I come across promo fluff and managerial euphemisms. As to your "charting by itself can be notable," then you must think a song that breaks the Top 100 at the bottom slot has "charted" and is, thus, notable. Well, I disagree. -

I don't think it is reasonable to suggest that a reporter on the Times of India (which by the way gives Top 20 music charts since 2010) would consider breaking the top 100 as ruling the chart. The journalists at the newspaper should know what is on their music charts.

Keep We could move it to
Proposed Layton Utah Temple for the nonce, and move it back to

WP:SIGCOV. There will be
WP:RS coverage of the location, of the construction, of the pre-opening opportunity for non-Mormons to visit, of the dedication and of the Temple going forward - there always is. There is alreay local TV coverage of speculation about exactly where it will be located; the Mayor says that the Church has already bought the land and he knows where it is but he's not telling. I have met Mormon temples before at AfD and, well, they can always be sourced, they just can. It is simply more efficient to KEEP the article and let it grow along with the temple. And it is better for the project to keep an article on a major church that people will expect us to have an article about.

StraussInTheHouse hello and I note your concern about the sources. I will point out that there is a longer article
on the is.wikipedia for Kristjana Stefánsdóttir, and that Kristjana & Agnar are considered to be important figures on the Icelandic Jazz topic. Some sources I have found for you to look at for this article are.
visirradioRUV.
Kristjana has been awarded the Icelandic Theater Award three times, and nominated for the Icelandic Music Awards several times. I recommend looking at Kristjana's
own overview of her awards. It does also pick out some of the more positive reviews of her work.
I have focused on Kristjana here because I consider that it is easier to establish notability for her. Looking at Agnar should be done as well, so here are some sources.
Iceland MusicIsmus, less is avilable on the world wide web for Agnar. I would not have chosen to group them together as has been done as it does not appear to be a pairing in the careers of either musician above that of each musicians own relevance.

I will add that, in some such cases, the editors who suggest Deletion are advised to
WP:FIXIT. Which is actually the policy about "

This article contains three reviews as references. Of those sources, two of them have a "Submit your game for review" option (
[15][16]). One of which has the following: Submitting your game to Edamame Reviews is a great way to reach a highly targeted audience of iOS and Android gamers and industry influencers who view our site multiple times each day. This quite obviously casts doubt on its reliability and independence of the subject. For these reasons I believe this doesn't satisfy
WP:NGAME.

Keep - firstly, disclosure, I am the AfC editor who accepted this article, so obviously there is a degree of bias with that. Hopefully I can make a suitable case despite that.
The article was certainly right on the boundary of getting through, but that was somewhat more because of verificability rather than straight-up notability. Notability for video games is always a nuisance (remember,
WP:NGAME is an essay - a good one, but not a supplement. It's primarily GNG that governs it). This is compounded because judging the sources independence is a nuisance. It's not surprising that most game critic sites ask for them - they need a sufficient turnover to survive. Remember all news websites ask for news. This can create both bias (being positive so everyone submits) and non-bias (being independent so users actually come to the site).
Keep First off, I agree with
Nosebagbear that this is a somewhat borderline case. But, I think that the Player.One review in combination with the infogame.vn review establishes notability with respect to
WP:GNG. Additionally I think that Game Zebo is also a reliable source for this article because in that very page you linked they say "Do not offer to pay for reviews. There is a big, fat line between editorial and advertising here at Gamezebo." I have no reason to believe that they are lying, especially given the tone of the rest of that page. Asking for and receiving game review copies in exchange for the possibility of a review is common practice in video game journalism and doesn't compromise the independence or reliability of the source.

The
VG/RS search engine (
WP:VG/SE) , based on sources identified as reliable for video gaming topics, indicates that this topic probably does not meet the bar for notability, whatever sources have been provided above. Do all of the works provided above indicate that they meet the bar to be identified as reliable? I would guess not. --

A couple of points here. Firstly,
WP:VG/SE provides a useful list (thanks, I'll refer to it in future) of both inclusions and exclusions - sources 1, 2 and 3 don't appear on either. Meaning that even if you took the list as gospel, you'd still need to come to your own conclusion on each of them. Secondly, I don't need each of them to meet the bar - if we take gamezebo as given since it's on the list and seems reliable by personal inspections from several of us, that only requires one more source. There are 4 in the offing (not counting edamame)
Nosebagbear (

16:05, 7 June 2018 (UTC)reply
The list is mostly drawn from
WP:VG/S--the search engine is just useful for using those sources trivially. Indeed, we need to come to a conclusion on the other three sources. As I said (because I have not investigated), I would guess the other three do not meet the reliability bar (based solely on their names--only one has widespread TLD [.com] and that one looks entirely domain specific, sites of which do not often indicate reliability or which indicate unreliability). Now, if Gamezebo is the only source, and the GNG requires multiple independent reliable sources discussing the topic in depth (i.e., reviews or substantial previews), that bar is certainly not met, even including the above sources. --

@
Izno:WP:VG/S explicitly states that "This [sources] list is neither complete nor can it be used as definitive proof regarding a listed source's reliability determination" so the fact that a source isn't on that list and doesn't have a standard TLD is enough to judge it unreliable? Player.One is a
Newsweek Media Group organization with a professional editorial staff and no indication that it is unreliable as it uses the same editorial practices as the other branches of the Newsweek Group. It is a published, independent authority from its subjects which should be more than sufficiently reliable for the standards of
WP:GNG. That in combination with gamezebo, which it seems you agree is a passable source, is sufficient for passing GNG. But just in case, I'll go over the sources.
Edamame is unreliable as it accepts money for publishing articles.
Pocket Gamer's content is a republished press release
Infogame.vn is in Vietnamese which doesn't change the fact that it is a reliable source. It has a professional editorial staff and their advertising policies don't indicate any issues that would interfere with the independence of their reviews.
AppCheaters appears to just be a one person blog-like operation
Player.One is reliable as discussed above
It appears we agree Gamewebo is reliable, as it has editorial oversight and independence
How so - if Gamezebo, Player.One & Infogame aren't all on the WP:VG list then that is neither a positive or a negative ruling on them. How do those not on the list fail to meet the standard exactly?

Weak Keep On the VG sources issues, unless we have previously discussed the source and determined it unreliable, not being on the list doesn't mean the source is not reliable; we'd have to evaluate those sources in more depth, but for purposes of an AFD discussion, these one offs can be considered on their own. On the specific game, there does seem to be some minimal coverage, one of the first Kongergate titles for mobile, and some of the mobile-based websites do discuss it. I'd like to see more in-depth coverage but there's enough to give this the benefit of doubt. --

Very weak keep as technically having multiple reliable independent (somewhat) in-depth sources. The sources cited in the article: JayIsGames is good, if short; GameZebo is okay; Player.one looks good and seems like
a good source without a more thorough examining; TouchArcade is basically a directory entry; AppCheaters doesn't look good, lacking usual reliability hallmarks; Pocket Gamer is a press release copy; not sure about InfoGame, but I don't see any reliability hallmarks (such as about or editorial page or something), language barrier notwithstanding. So that makes 2 decent GNG sources and possibly another plus some extra sourcing for content. I guess it's the utmost minimal bar for GNG, which it barely passes. If the developer ever gets an article, merge. —

The result was no consensus. Numerically, opinions are divided, and there is no clearly prevailing side in terms of strength of argument. The issue is whether the subject's coverage in media sources makes him notable. Editors can disagree in good faith, as they do here, about whether a given quality and quantity of sources confers notability, and since this is a matter of editorial judgment, it's not something which I as closer can decide by fiat. The arguments on both sides pertaining to the subject's role as a Wikipedian are not relevant in terms of our applicable policies and guidelines, and they also don't matter much in closing this discussion because they more or less cancel each other out numerically.

Subject fails
WP:GNG. Most of the cited sources are mere mentions. The single story in Princeton Alumni Weekly isn't enough for general notability. The WSJ piece does not appear independent of the subject, as they interviewed him. (WSJ is focused on ARBCOM, not Newyorkbrad.) Regardless, defining-down GNG makes no sense. Whatever editing work the subject did in connection to Rex Stout does not pass
WP:PROF as Matetsky is not a professor. Coverage like martindale.com might be acceptable per
WP:V but is really
WP:ROUTINE, indicating the subject is non-notable per

For ArbCom, yes. Not necessarily for individual arbitrators who were interviewed. Their quotes about themselves or about ArbCom are not independent coverage. If the piece goes into more detail about Ira such that it meets the other parts of the GNG after the interview bits, then yes, but merely being quoted and having filler text does not meet it (I can’t access the article anymore so I can’t say either way, but I thought the distinction was important.)

Wikipedia:Identifying and using independent sources: "An independent source is a source that has no vested interest in a given Wikipedia topic and therefore is commonly expected to cover the topic from a disinterested perspective. Independent sources have editorial independence (advertisers do not dictate content) and no conflicts of interest (there is no potential for personal, financial, or political gain to be made from the existence of the publication). ... Interest in a topic becomes vested when the source (the author, the publisher, etc.) develops any financial or legal relationship to the topic." As far as I'm aware, a source does not become un-independent simply because it interviewed the subject of the article. Could you point to the policy or guideline that you're basing your view on? (I'm not trying to patronize you; I'm genuinely curious if this is something I've previously completely missed.) Thank you!

WP:N: should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. and "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. Quotes about oneself are primary and non-independent and we never count interviews or quotes as counting towards notability. If there is an article about a person and there are limited quotes from them in it we count it, but simply being quoted or interviewed has no bearing at all on notability. Also, just to clarify for people who aren't aware,
Wikipedia:Identifying and using independent sources is an essay. I don't have an opinion on Ira's notability, but simply being quoted or interviewed is neither independent or secondary.

We don't count quotes and interviews as secondary in the sense of the substance of what the interview or quote says, because the source doesn't vouch that what the quote says is true. But we certainly count interviews towards notability - the fact that the Wall Street Journal or Washington Post devotes a lot of column space to quotes certainly mean they consider the interviewee "worthy of notice", and "considered to be of a high degree of interest, significance, or distinction". --

For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent. <- that does not indicate that the WSJ wouldn't be "independent" here. It's fine to argue that the WSJ article isn't "significant coverage" and therefore doesn't come into play for notability—I'd completely agree with that. But it's definitely an independent source. (Also, note that the "identifying and using independent sources" essay is linked from
WP:GNG.)
Ed[talk][majestic titan]03:24, 17 June 2018 (UTC)reply
The ed17 interviews are not intellectually independent of the subject. Even if there is editorial oversight, we require that what is actually published not be from the subject themselves. This is why an interview on NPR does not establish notability: it is not independent even if the publisher of the interview is (you could also argue it is primary and fails the sourcing requirements on two grounds.) My argument is not that the WSJ source is not independent: it definitely is. It is that the quotes from him about ArbCom/what he does are not and would not establish notability on their own, even if they were substantial.The question we ask is if there has been coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources. Interviews and quotes are not in themselves either secondary or independent of the subject. What is independent and secondary is any coverage or commentary that the WSJ may have after interviewing the subject. If that exists, then arguably meets the independence test, but the WSJ just deciding to quote someone is not an indicator of notability on any of the criteria the GNG establishes.

Keep. As a New York-based Wikipedian, I have seen Ira Matetsky and heard him speak, but have never exchanged any words or other communication with him. Thus, on a completely impersonal basis and without resorting to
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, it should be noted that most Wikipedia biographical entries are not sourced with 17 inline cites from such references as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. There is nothing inappropriate with occasional navel-gazing since, after all, we are the center of our own universe and a legal celebrity in our midst, volunteering and devoting years of his time and energy to the project so near and dear to all of us should receive his just due on the pages of the project. Ira Matetsky did not encourage the creation of his biographical entry, but once it came into existence, it would be most appropriate and fair-minded for it to remain, if only for the benefit of Wikipedia users and advancement of knowledge. There is no advantage to be gained through its deletion, but its potential disappearance would be a loss for Wikipedians.

Comment - a couple of points to give some context (disclosure: I know the article subject and have worked with him on Wikipedia).
It is hard to work out from
what links here whether the existing links to this article from other articles are just from being
included in the 'Wikipedia' navigation template or whether the links from within the actual text of those articles. My suspicion, based on looking at the list of 'what links here' and the 95 or so articles in {{Wikipedia}} and from searching for the subject's name in Wikipedia, is that all the links except one are generated by the template. Only one link is a genuine one, and that is from the surname set index page
Matetsky that was
created by the editor who created this article (and which will need to be deleted if this article is not kept). It seems that the article creator (
Everymorning (
talk·contribs)) created the 'Ira Matetsky' article as an orphan (i.e. with no existing links and no 'demand' for the article to be created in terms of existing red-links). The article in question appears to be part of a walled garden of articles on individual Wikipedians that (mostly) don't really link out to the rest of the encyclopedia (these articles function more as footnotes containing subsidiary information on the 'Wikipedia' topic), though even there the subject of this article is not currently mentioned in the
Arbitration Committee article (the most logical place for a mention, though that article, probably correctly, doesn't name or link to individual arbitrators).
Looking further afield, there are a total of four Wikipedia articles where the article subject is currently named and could be linked:
In-chambers opinion,
John Marshall Harlan,
Fer-de-Lance (novel) and
Morrison Waite. In all four cases, the article subject is named as an author or editor in the references, and in all cases (note the COI disclosure) the article subject added these references himself (in chronological order:
[30],
[31],
[32],
[33]).
Overall then, the article subject is hardly mentioned on Wikipedia. The only people finding and reading the article will be those Googling the article subject, those browsing the Wikipedia template, and those who might follow author/editor links from article references. And looking through the article, it is hard to see where the article subject will get mentioned in other Wikipedia articles. This may say something about the notability of the article subject. I'm not going to give my view on that, other than to say that it can be hard for Wikipedians to objectively judge the notability of other Wikipedians. In that vein, some articles on Wikipedians do end up deleted or redirected, see:
1 (Michael Snow),
2 (Kat Walsh).

Keep The statement above we never count interviews or quotes as counting towards notability is fine as a personal opinion but is not adequate as a fair summary of thoughtful consensus on the matter. See

Analysis of sources
[34] This is Yahoo's Trending now. Claims that Hofmeester is a filmmaker and an artist. That's dubious. He makes corporate videos for businesses and organizations like a midewifery, he's not a filmmaker and an artist.
[35] consists almost entirely of statements by Hofmeester
[36] again, mostly (the same) statements by Hofmeester
[37] This Time piece is more in-depth, and makes an effort to explore the (super-creepy) reasons why a video of a pre-pubescent girl gets far more attention than a largely identical video of her brother.
[38] A larger piece, from a source I've only seen used once, in
Hermes (missile), which rather looks like clickbait.
[39] This BoingBoing piece offers nothing that hasn't already been said, and is not much more than a repost of a yahoo piece.
[40] This offers absolutely nothing, except an opportunity to pretend that that there are lots of sources (without mentioning that they all repeat the same stuff.
[41] looks like a dead link from where I tried to access it.
Not mentioned in the article is the Guardian Piece that Hofmeester himself wrote,
[43] and which, to a degree, all the source above appear to have used. There isn't anything in those sources that Hofmeester hasn't said. In summary: All the source are not dependent upon the primary source and have not conducted their own investigation, they merely repeat an unreliable source. The subject has been shared a lot on social and other web-based media, and garnered many views. That's the definition of a viral video. Is this anything but a viral video? Not according to the sources. Do we cover viral videos? I don't think we should, so that's why this has been nominated for deletion.

I came across these articles while going through
February 2009 orphans. I ran a
PetScan search for articles whose only reference was Federal Standard 1037C and which were February 2009 orphans and came up with these sixteen articles. They're clearly unsuitable for Wikipedia and I considered whether using the transwiki process to move them to Wikitionary would be worth a shot but other than the Federal Standard document, none of the terms seem to have much coverage in other sources, and definitely not enough to
warrant their own article. I also considered moving one of them to
List of terms in Federal Standard 1037C but realised that would leave out a metric ton of other terms not uncovered by the PetScan query but included in the aforementioned document, plus it would approach
What Wikipedia is not territory, so I decided to AFD them. I will notify the relevant WikiProjects.

Indeed, most of the scant information that can be found is related to the subject's book, which itself is non-notable, and so the Jha likely does not meet
WP:AUTHOR either. Two other points should be noted; one is that as a journalist Jha's name appears in articles that she authored (these would constitute mentions in passing or trivial mentions, as said articles are not directly about her). The second is that (per nom) that article may be fatally tainted by promotional material.--

Mistranslation from the Dutch. The "tegeltjeswijsheid" is not the tile but the aphorism; it can be (and often is) applied to aphorisms in other contexts (compare
here or the sources within the article itself, neither of which discuss tiles). I couldn't find sources actually discussing the tile itself. I don't see that the Dutch aphorisms are meaningfully different from English ones, and the Dutch don't limit the term to Dutch aphorisms anyway. I was thinking of redirecting to "
aphorism", but "tile wisdom" would not be a likely search term.

Comment The article now says (since before your nomination) that the "tile wisdom" is an aphorism, as appears on a tile. I defer to Dutch-speaking readers about the availability of sources about this topic. I think it is reasonable to cover not just the idea that this is an aphorism, but that there is a particular genre of decorative art the word comes from (tegeltjeswijsheid contains the Dutch word tile; aphorism/proverb/saying are apparently different words than tegeltjeswijsheid). Note that at least one source in the article specifically discusses tiles: "You usually see them painted on Delft blue tiles with an image." (machine translation of

(image since deleted for copyvio). No significant references found on Google to suggest this will ever be worthy of an article."

Comment - the deletion nomination was subject to an edit conflict; it took me some time to write it, and when I started it still said the subject was the tiles, not the aphorisms. That said, I also explained why writing about Dutch aphorisms as if they were something special isn't appropriate; the Dutch equally apply the same term to any aphorisms, including non-Dutch ones entirely unrelated to tiles. Not even the tradition of putting them up on walls is
unique; the Dutch apparently just use a different medium. Reliable sources discussing the Dutch choice of medium are still absent.

Keep - ignore the translation discussion and search for the actual SUBJECT which is nl:Tegeltjeswijsheid. It sounds trivial but the subject meets notability requirements as it has been written about in-depth by numerous sources. This is distinctively Dutch and goes beyond words on actual tiles but extends to Dutch cliches in general and computer-generated phrases in this tile-style. Look it up.

Likewise, I also think it's an odd !vote. Maybe
Mangoe might wish to strike one bit out? Trying to move this along a bit, and referring to my above rationale for deletion, were this Dutch word ever to be commonly used in the English language, then I'd say this article should stay. But there's no evidence of this at all. Show us an English language source that talks about this topic, and I could be persuaded to strike my !vote. But I can't imagine anyone I know ever spotting a painted tile hanging on a wall and saying "oh look, what lovely tegeltjeswijsheid over there!" And I'm sure they wouldn't mentally convert it into English and say "ah, tile wisdom, it's always nice to see some of that!" Now,
Schadenfreude, that's a completely different kettle of fish, and quite acceptable to have a page on this foreign language word because the term is used in the English language quite a lot. The idea that we translate every language's minor aphorisms into every other language and then create a Wikipedia page on it is quite frightening.

I don't see why it matters whether the Dutch word is used in English or discussed in English-language sources. To me, this seems to be a tradition that is meaningfully distinct from other traditions in other countries. (There is a certain prescribed format for wall décor aphorisms, which doesn't seem to be the case elsewhere.) Others seem to disagree, or think that there are insufficient sources describing this tradition. Those are the relevant topics for discussion here, not whether English-language sources describe the tradition.

If people use the Dutch word in English-language sources, then we should simply rename the article. If not, then what is it called? "Tile wisdom" appears, by all evidence, to be a coinage of whoever write this article. If we can't find English-language sources which use some English word/phrase, and we are unwilling to use the Dutch word, then there's no way to justify having an article.

Ajf773 My question to each of those who feel it should be deleted is whether there is additional information for the chapters that would cause you to re-evaluate. The chartering dates for each chapter are available, with the years being available from Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities, and dates available from both Kappa Alpha itself and at least some from secondary sources. (As the chartering date is not normally a fact in dispute, primary sources should be fine.) Rechartering dates as well. Kappa Alpha Order does not appear to have geographic regions. I appreciate that each of you may have different standards here.

Keep. I added some text translated from the Danish Wikipedia. He designed some notable buildings that (I think) are on the Danish counterpart of the
National Register of Historic Places. This suggests that in-depth references exist, but since he died more than 100 years ago, those references may not be online. Eastmain (

Comment:Eastmain Hi, adding additional info does not help towards meeting notability, but adding along with
independent, reliable sources do. If he is notable, I believe there will be some architecture books talk about him and his work. Content in print or in any languages are welcome as long as they are independent and reliable. I AfD this page, as I cant find sources in EN internet on Mr Anderson (and there was another
Thorvald Andersen (8 April 1883 in Aarup, Denmark - 3 May 1935 - who also was an Danish architect). Do let me know if you would find source to support the nobility of Mr Anderson, for I will withdraw the nomination and if not the AfD would stay. Thank you.

here, but it is an entire district that is on the registry and he is one of many architects who designed buildings in the district. It's possible that sources exist in books that have not yet been scanned by Google (or in periodicals) but I'm not seeing notability at this time.

Note that
WP:CREATIVE#4. REcognizes notability on the basis of leaving a body of work that is notable. This is the rubric under which we keep articles on creative professionals of all kinds without requiring sources beyond documentation of the notable (painting, poem, design) work created. My argument here is that the group of Andersen buildings designated notable / historic by Denmark constitute such a body of work.
E.M.Gregory (

Week keep leaning week delete. First of all, do not search for Carl Thorvald Andersen, there is almost nothing to be found. Search for C. T. Andersen (use alt. search term). Andersen's ouvre is well described, and as such you could argue a "keep" vote pursuant to
WP:CREATIVE#4, as does the good
E.M.Gregory above. The question is then: is his body of work really large enough for a keep per CREATIVE#4? He obtained the position as Bygningsinspektør (approx. Constructual Engineer), of which there were 9 in
Copenhagen around the turn of the century according to
da:Bygningsinspektør. Andersen's area was solely Holmen (
lit.'The Islet') which at that time was exclusively the
naval base of the
Royal Danish Navy. As opposed to his successor
Olaf Schmidth [
da who is well described in e.g. Weilbachs Kunstnerleksikon, and who designed for other areas than Holmen, I find no sources online that mention Andersen having done anything apart from the 10-12 buildings on Holmen. So, is he a significant government architect? A source or two indicate, that better sources may be available offline. And as the man retired in 1899 at the age of 64, and lived another ~17 years, it is very possible that some sorts of newspaper articles or retrospectical article from the first quarter of the last century exist. For now, with the limited availability of digitized Danish sources, this is all I can do. (Do anglophone editors ever think about how fortunate it is to have well developed digitized archives?)

Keep, because he squeaks past
WP:CREATIVE, other and better sources may turn up, and unlike so very many biographees of whom similar comments could be made, he's been dead for a century, there's been no muttering about promotional editing, and a future descent into advertising is very hard to imagine. --

The N-localizer article provides information that is well documented via literature citations that are found in the "References" and "Further Reading" sections of the article. That information is available at no other Wikipedia page and serves as a useful introduction to the N-localizer.
Jytdog's use of the words "dreck" and "flush" suggests a lack of objectivity. I ask that the editors of Wikipedia intervene and prevent further tampering with this article.

Keep - Well this is certainly a surprising nomination for AfD, and so is the language used in the nomination. The article is well cited and the topic plainly of encyclopedic interest. It is hard to see it as promotional given that the device was invented in 1978 (forty years ago, surely long past patents and new academic papers); nor is the tone promotional. The works cited are by at least 14 different teams, so academic promotion also looks unlikely, or at least can form only a small part of the content. I'm happy to be persuaded but it looks like an obvious keep, really.

Not correct. The style of this page is inline citations. There are only 11 citations. More essentially; I do understand that you cannot see that this page is fundamentally promotional and is academic spam. This is a problem from which our project suffers; I have dealt with many instances of this. It is sadly common for academics to abuse their editing privileges to promote themselves and their work and even sock to do so (
example,
example,

Jytdog (

17:55, 21 June 2018 (UTC)reply
I disagree with Jytdog's assertion that the N-localizer is sufficiently discussed in the
stereotactic surgery article to which it was merged. Although Figure 1 was copied from the N-localizer article to the "History" section of the stereotactic surgery article, that figure alone is insufficient to describe how the N-localizer functions. Specifically, three N-localizers are required to accomplish the necessary geometric transformation, as discussed in association with Figures 2 and 3 of the N-localizer article. Imagine that you are reading the stereotactic surgery article and would like to understand how the N-localizer functions. In the absence of a link to the N-localizer article, you would have to obtain one of the cited references from the stereotactic surgery article. Why should a reader be required to go to such lengths when a short article describing the N-localizer already exists on Wikipedia? Moreover, Jytdog dismisses literature references from the "Further Reading" section of the N-localizer article because those references are not in the "References" section of the article. A simple solution to that issue would be for Jytdog to move those references from the "Further Reading" section to the "References" section.

Would you please reply to my inquiry at your talk page? Or here, would be fine. Managing conflicts of interest is very common, as I am sure you aware, and the first step is disclosure of the conflict of interest.

Redirect, presumably to
List of tallest buildings in Edmonton#Projects or more specifically to this building's row in the table there. Redirect partly to keep the article history in place, because this is under construction and will have coverage about it. The
List of tallest buildings in Edmonton has just two existing buildings with more floors. It seems highly likely this will be more clearly notable, soon. By the way, I hate and/or am bored by the numerous AFDs about tallest buildings, with the deletion nomination being ignorant about the obvious alternative-to-deletion of redirecting to the list-article. Obviously superior to outright deletion. So the AFD will not possibly succeed in deleting the article, and it doesn't count in running up your deletionist scoring, or it should not. Not sure how the deletionists score themselves, maybe causing an AFD discussion and using up other editors' time counts as a win no matter what.

Delete about a year and a half ago we decided that those who did not win a national beauty pageant needed lots of sources or another claim to be shown notable. We still have a bloated legacy of articles on contestants in US beauty pageants that needs to be gone through and those on non-notable people nominated for deletion. There are clearly still some floating around on non-notable people. However this does not mean we should let this plague of non-notable articles proliferate in the case of articles on people from India.

Comment The subject has already met the criteria serial number 2 which state that the subject must have a large fan base or a significant cult following. As far as using the article as a promotion/advertisement tool is concerned, the subject doesn't need Wikipedia to do the same as there are other tools like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc.Just for general information, here is the subject's Instagram credentials
https://www.instagram.com/lilydarnei/?hl=en , not to mention the fact that there are still millions who knows the subject but don't use Instagram.

Debatable at best (50 million followers on Instagram is not a uniquely large amount, especially compared to other models), but what of the other two points listed by WP:NMODEL, and what of
WP:GNG? It can easily be claimed that a subject is a public or popular figure, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia build around verifiable, reliable, in-depth sources, and none seem to exist that describe Darnei as such. Note also that Wikipedia does not hold Instagram followers to be a claim to significance, nor is Instagram a reliable source of information. I will agree with you that the subject does not need a Wikipedia article to promote themselves, as they already have Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. This leads me to cite WP:NOT again, as Wikipedia is
not an indiscriminate collection of information, especially when said information lacks sourcing, and cite
WP:NOTFACEBOOK.--

Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they didn't win — if he doesn't already have a strong claim of preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him an article anyway, then he has to win the election, not just run in it, to become notable as a politician.
