Delete per nom. Doesn't meet WP:EVENTCRITERIA (as is effectively a routine news events without additional enduring significance). And nothing to indicate it meets WP:LASTING (as doesn't seem to be an event which is a precedent or catalyst for something else). Put simply, as noted by others above, this seems like a classic case of WP:NOTNEWS. Guliolopez ( talk) 12:53, 23 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Delete or redirect with selective merge to Ballymun. A few sentences about the building with a mention of the fire would fit well, in a relatively article that stands in need of improvement/updating. This building is, for Ireland/Dublin, fairly notable - one of the Tallest buildings in Ireland, although it does not appear to have been added to on Wikipedia's list. And the fire has attracted significant attention, enough to make it a likely search term. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 18:03, 23 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Keep: Historic and notable. The Builder of the church, Father Samuel Mazzuchelli built over 20 churches in three states or territories. This church and four others still survive. This is not only historical but unique. The church was errected around a standing building originally the St. James Church, with one wall open so church could continue, then at a point the building was taken out, moved across the street, and became the St. Clara Female Academy (Original St. James Church pp. 5 & 6) that later became the Benton Female Academy. There are sources for this article. Otr500 ( talk) 10:26, 24 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Comment - could you add some of them? I'm inclined to keep this, with a few more sources, but on a (very hasty) search couldn't come up with much. In the worst case the content could be added to the article on Fr Mazzuchelli, since he's not only the founder but is buried there. Eustachiusz ( talk) 14:06, 24 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Comment I added some citations; the church is historical. Keep Thank you- RFD ( talk) 15:49, 24 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Keep. Photo included in article, and age of church (built 1852) suggest it is indeed historic and notable, in that it would almost certainly be eligible for listing in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Many churches decline to be listed, so it is not unusual that this is not listed. Also, citations have been added (which I have not reviewed). -- Doncram ( talk) 19:49, 24 March 2018 (UTC) reply

The result was nomination withdrawn, as I evidently missed the fact that she served in the state assembly. I will note that the article extremely underplays that fact in favour of an overemphasis on her less notable position, to the point that an entirely reasonable person like me could miss the assembly claim entirely — so the article still needs an overhaul to put the WP:WEIGHT of notability and sourcing where it belongs.

WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as a county councillor and non-winning candidate for higher offices. As always, neither of these represents an automatic free pass over our notability standards for politicians -- county commissioners aren't automatically presumed to pass NPOL #2 just because they exist, and candidates don't get articles just for being candidates -- but there's no quality reliable sourcing being shown here to get her over WP:GNG: of the seven "references" here, one is just a pronunciation key to her surname rather than a source, four are primary sources that cannot support notability at all, one is a glancing namecheck of her existence in a source that isn't about her, and the last is one of my all-time favourite achievements in reference bombing: "2011 Las Vegas Mayoral Race Coverage, Fox5Vegas.com". Not any specific piece of coverage, but just the whole kit and caboodle in toto grande, cited only to support the fact that she lost the race. (Here, of course, is where it's necessary for me to remind everyone that the expected and routine local coverage of a mayoral election does not automatically vault the loser over GNG as a detour around her failure to clear NPOL.) None of the sourcing is cutting any mustard here at all, and nothing stated in the article body is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the sourcing from having to cut mustard.

Keep - She served as a state legislator, and she is a local politician in the most populated and influential county/region in the state. Her qualification alone makes her a serious contender, not some perennial minor candidate. Acnetj ( talk) 03:53, 22 March 2018 (UTC) reply

For the record, no local politician anywhere — big county, small county, doesn't matter — gets a free exemption from having to pass NPOL #2 as the subject of significant press coverage just because of her county's size. So at the volume of sourcing shown here, her status in local politics counts for nothing. Bearcat ( talk) 14:48, 23 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Comments: Lots of reasons to keep the Actinobacteriophage database, "commonly known" (with only 3 references) as PhagesDB that is self described as a database-backed website. Why have an ambiguous title "known" only in a smaller circle as DB? Actinobacteriophage database is self describing and less ambiguous.

(1) We do not delete pages because a BLAR was reverted. If this topic is not notable, it should be redirected to the book Murder Most Unladylike. If someone edit wars over the redirect, the page should be protected. That is ATD. (2) Calling content "cruft" is not a valid argument for anything. If I am wrong about that, the essay WP:FANCRUFT should itself be deleted as "wikicruft" and "deletioncruft" and "deletionistcruft". Cf. Wikipedia:Don't call things cruft (aka NOCRUFT).

Delete: Not notable from a real world or out-of-universe perspective and surely WP:FANCRUFT. A fictional detective Society from a book Murder Most Unladylike that has solved eight fictional cases. Since the "fictional society" would be known to someone already familiar with the book it does not need a redirect. Maybe if the fictional society solves a world-renoun fictional case and somehow gaining non-fictional notability it might be different. Otr500 ( talk) 11:19, 24 March 2018 (UTC) reply
- That is not one of the criteria for deletion of redirects under WP:R. Redirects must be shown to be positively harmful. As a general rule we do not delete plausible redirects because they facilitate accidental linking, avoid the creation of duplicate articles (which usually get re-created over and over and over again forever if there is no redirect), and the deletion of their page histories can lead to copyvios if they have ever been copied anywhere, and etc etc etc. Not to mention that we might want to merge some of the content to the book's article. As a general rule we avoid deleting plausible redirects like the plague because the results are usually bad. This is all in the guideline. James500 ( talk) 03:47, 25 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Reply: "Common outcomes are that the article is kept, merged, redirected, incubated, renamed/moved to another title, userfied to a user subpage, or deleted per the "deletion policy"." and not specifically the redirect guideline. There is always a lot of Wikilawyering on AFD's, and some otherwise good willed closers get confused. The bottom line is that all but a KEEP !vote is a determination that an article does not deserve stand-alone status on Wikipedia. Renamed/moved to another title is still a keep just under a different name. Because of the continued confusion and the easy way of closing as "no consensus, even when it is clear that consensus is for no stand-alone article, I have had to adjust accordingly when an article does not (in my opinion according to my interpretation of the policies and guidelines) deserve stand-alone status. You can bludgeon the process by negatively responding to every !vote you disagree with as it is evident that you are a proponent of keeping the article. At some point, you can continue to try to ride the dead stinking horse that has been badly beaten even when dead or you can just let the process proceed and the closer will make a determination. I have made the move to help confused closers with "keep", or "delete" (maybe merge when appropriate) and your comments can try to persuade a closer to redirect. I am sorry but I am NOT going to continue struggling against Wikilawyers that two keeps, two redirects, and two deletes equal a "no consensus" when (see above) no stand-alone status is super clear by a 66% margin. Maybe, just maybe, I can affect some change with others that "if it doesn't belong" by consensus (delete, merge, redirect, or other) the recourse is only to figure out "which of the other options" are viable. As for WP:FANCRUFT: You may find disdain for the word but the article explains "Fancruft is a term sometimes used in Wikipedia to imply that a selection of content is of importance only to a small population of enthusiastic fans of the subject in question.". This "may" (wikilawyering aside) have absolutely no bearing on a particular editor so feigning being offended if that person wasn't even in the equation is simply ludicrous and trying to dig up a bone to pick with someone. It "may" be as simple as a belief that the subject or content would or is directed at a "small population". Since I DO NOT intentionally attack anyone it will be an attack on me to not assume good faith that there was no malintent and IF someone has doubts it is so much easier to ask than to pull out the machine guns, rocket launchers, or lawyers. Thank you, Otr500 ( talk) 17:23, 25 March 2018 (UTC) reply

One brief comment pointing to an important relevant guideline that has been overlooked is not bludgeoning anything, but this kind of accusatory screaming fit that accuses me of things I haven't said at all (I have certainly not argued for keeping the article) certainly is. Bottom line: WP:R is a guideline, and what is says is very clear. Nothing in the text of WP:AFD contradicts what WP:R says. James500 ( talk) 18:27, 25 March 2018 (UTC) reply

WOW!! The Wikilawyering NEVER ceases-- ever. One comment plus one comment equals ---two. The "Ranter" complains of someone ranting. I will type slowly in English: I made an observation "...it is evident that you are a proponent of keeping the article.". I typed as slow as I could so possibly read it twice. Your comments: "...but this kind of accusatory screaming fit that accuses me of things I haven't said at all (I have certainly not argued for keeping the article) certainly is.". Not one word (I looked twice while retyping) asserted that you have "argued for keeping the article". Your reply gives the impression that you were angry, maybe even red-faced, as you pounded out the silly comments. Yes they are silly! Taking offense and blatantly typing false things. That is actually comical to me. You did give a long rant of opinion, and I have offered mine, and yours was more than "One brief comment". To refresh your memory, or poor eyesight, what you signed as typing: "Calling content "cruft" is not a valid argument for anything. If I am wrong about that, the essay WP:FANCRUFT should itself be deleted as "wikicruft" and "deletioncruft" and "deletionistcruft". Cf. Wikipedia:Don't call things cruft (aka NOCRUFT)". That is a rant about your apparent disdain for things including the word cruft. I disagree and so do other editors. I might suggest you take a chill-pill (drink or whatever your vice) as this is good advice to prevent high blood pressure or heart problems. You obviously don't like the word "fancruft" and I dislike words like "cabal" but to rant that "any" use of fancruft should be deleted is your opinion. Keep at it though and it may catch on. IF you are seeking a "plausible redirect" then add that as part of the process so a closer can consider it as I am under no known mandate to only !vote redirect.

Delete: Come on! I could not find anything significant so did some research on the researched sources above. Fails GNG as lacks secondary sources over primary and fails all four criterion of WP:ARTIST. The first, an i-D fashion site titled the guerilla exhibition promoting women artists on the doorstep of frieze gives passing mention. The second, also an i-D site (does not add to notability count) is titled this artist shaved her head to get back to her roots and discusses that "Diana Chire’s body is her canvas". The third, "ASOS" is a fashion-feed site that at least addresses the subject. The last one is FAD (Art news, exhibitions, and competitions) titled 16 of the most dynamic female artists in London exhibiting on the doorstep of Frieze. Although the refbombing might indicate a Hey award, it might be too soon. She Zine intersectional feminist blog and quarterly digital magazine was founded by the editor-in-chief (and contributing editor) Allison Moyer. I could find Nikki Vergakes, the Culture & News Contributor When I tried to access the "Contributors" link I was redirected back to the page with Moyer and Vergakes and nothing on the subject which qualifies this under Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not.

Keep I improved her article and added additional citations. She been discussed in English, Italian and French in many magazines. She has been profiled by Vice [15] and was interviewed by Vogue Italy [16]. She has had her work exhibited and then written about. Passes WP:ARTIST because her work "has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition." She also easily passes the general notabilty guidelines ( WP:GNG) for any topic due to "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" which shows that there is signigicant interest in this person in several different countries.

Just a friendly reminder that interviews like the Vogue one above do not contribute to notability in these discussions, as they are not independent.

@ Lonehexagon: You have done a good job of improving the article what we had (and the additional sources you found), but I'm not the source are enough IMHO. I've changed my vote to neutral: I could go either way, though I am leaning slightly on the delete side. Going back to Bischoff, we had some more substantive exhibition record, and non-interview reportage, and even there all we could get to was no consensus. That said, I DO believe that this one is probably TOOSOON, should not prevent future recreation if new events and materials emerge, and your worthwhile work should be Userfied to be improved over the next few years, and if she were to have a more substantive coverage, or exhibition, I would be happy for you to include that and we could try again.

~~Delete~~ Merge with redirect to WCVB-TV (1st choice) with delete as last option: Keep: Final change; See amended reasoning below. Either of these three means the subject does not warrant a stand-alone article. This is a local reporter and anchor, although not the typical pseudo-biography. Someone will have to convince me that a run-of-the-mill television personality, that in the course of their job gave interviews including one that "may" have helped contribute to the down-slide of a candidate (was only beat by 4 points), and was the first female anchor at a station, is actually a notable person as being "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". This would be an edge case for the slippery slope argument that many thousands of worldwide anchors should have an article on Wikipedia. I did note the unlisted interesting fact that the subject reportedly divorced William D. Jacobson in 1973. This was after she met another person, the very notable^{dubious –
discuss} Chet Curtis (play song Here You Come Again) at work that was probably a juicy office fling that she married and co-anchored with. If we go this route then all anchors in every country can (and should) have an article on Wikipedia. We will now become (among other things) a world-wide TV anchor listing vehicle. I can then list my mundane but good weatherman because there are plenty of local and regional sources. Otr500 ( talk) 13:52, 24 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Note: Concerning "Subject of significant coverage" listed in a "keep" above: Of the seven references on the article 5 are to the Boston Globe and one is the Telegram & Gazette. Of the three provided sources, indicative of attempting to prove "Subject of significant coverage", all are to the Boston Globe. This means that there are actually only two sources that count towards notability. Of the three: The first is a mundane news report that "After 35 years, Jacobson set to retire", the second, is "Life after chennal 5 and that the subject has "whale-watched in Mexico, hiked in California's redwoods, and sailed in the British Virgin Islands. She's also learned to pilot her boyfriend's 34-foot power boat on trips to Key West, the Bahamas, and Palm Beach.", and the third: Split screen discusses that both Natalie and her husband and co-anchor for two decades were leaving the show----- and each other, as he had another job, maybe with a new co-anchor to marry? All I know is that possibly well-intentioned, these are run-of-the-mill mundane "stories" that to the world and even the region are not actually "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded", so would be refbombing to make an article look more notable.
Please see GNG "Sources": "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.". This would be a questionable revelation on any article but this is a BLP and the subject considered a low-profile individual in regards to WP:BLP1E. The subject should be included in the WCVB-TV article but not deserving stand-alone status. That is the rationale from the current policies and guidelines unless there is an acceptable reason to "ignore all rules" so I have amended my !vote accordingly.

Keep: Jacobson has been covered in some detail in many sources outside the Boston area, indicating national notability, for example [20], [21], [22]. The article should be enhanced with these and other secondary sources.-- Ipigott ( talk) 06:44, 26 March 2018 (UTC) reply

KeepThe fact that Jacobson was the first female evening anchor in a major American city is important and a big deal from a woman's historical perspective, therefore she is not just a typical run of the mill local anchorman (Boston is one of the top six TV news markets in the US). Also she was well known outside Boston, her name even being mentioned in an episode of the sitcom "30 Rock", when the show's characters visited Boston. So Jacobson was nationally known for her local news anchor status. Furthermore, she also co-anchored the news with her husband for many years, the two being one of the few married couples to do so. Their divorce made the NY Times, Variety and the LA Times :

Jacobson was a star anchor with huge ratings and millions of viewers, at a time when personalities drove the local news. She should be seen within an historical context and not from the context of today's local news market where personalities have less of an impact on a local newscast:

http://archive.boston.com/ae/tv/articles/2011/07/10/curtiss_changing_role_sign_of_times_for_local_news_affiliates/

Jacobson is also considered to be part of the Golden Age of Boston TV according to the following book :

https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/books/2017/06/15/part-history-part-memoir-look-golden-age-boston/R1Fav2ckvECQHQ0pdV1PIN/story.html

Jacobson has been mentioned in the NY Times several times, her salary being the topic of one article :

Jacobson is also inducted in Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame

Keep - She's notable for a period that is significantly pre-internet, and which pre-dates how far many RS have gone back in digitising their archives.

Mattyjohn ( talk) 21:12, 27 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Final amendment from above: "In 1976 she became the first female anchor of a Boston evening newscast..." does not equate to "first female evening anchor in a major American city"^{dubious –
discuss} not trying to take anything away from her as she was at least among early pioneer female anchors and there were others in that time frame so this would need clear sources above what is in the article. The sources I saw, the ones in the article and the ones added that I looked at does NOT add a lot to notability. The long list of rebombed sources (including more from the Globe and Boston.com, and three from the ny times.com (count as one so there are what "four?). Some are just mundane news reports. Her longtime partner dying does not advance true notability. **BUT** Heymann! there is clear evidence to support "..."worthy of notice" or "note" – that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia. 1)- early female co-anchor, 2)- in "a period that is significantly pre-internet" so sources would be "out there" and notability is not dependant on what is in the article, and 3)- she was inducted into the "Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame".. That is a big accolade. I think big enough for her, and our poor recently passed Bozo the Clown that was also inducted, with all his regional, national, and international exposure he does not yet have an article.

Freewaves is not MOCA [23] (I got rid of that), and a short film screening at Freewaves certainly isn't enough to establish notability. His books are self published as "Carpophage Press" and cannot be used to establish notability.

Delete - I have yet to see proof that Waugh was a substantial part of any significant art exhibition and he is all over the internet with self promotions, and this person is not regarded as an important art figure or is widely cited by peers or successors, and he did not originate anything of value (ie. nobody else uses "pulchrism" as a term for a conceptual art style, therefore it is clearly not an art movement).

Keep - Per my comments at the previous AfD and because nominator's rationale is invalid. Attempting to rewrite the article to support your attempts to delete it do not seem to be in good faith (Freewaves was held at the Museum, per the sources cited, please stop deleting accurately sourced content).

keep Waugh satisfies the criteria at CREATIVE. Freewaves is the main experimental media arts festival in the western US.

I am also pointing out that 4(d) has no leg to stand on. And I disagree with the interpretation that a short film screening in Freewaves *alone* with *zero* other exhibitions of any legitimacy, rises to bar typically set at AfD for 4(b). I renom'd it because of this, and because I thought it was important for it to go through a peer-review with a different set of editors. Unfortunately one or two of the previous editors have been Canvassing, so we will get all of those !votes again, but I personally think it is more enlightening to hear from those that don't have a vested interest in the article, either as primary creators/editors, or having been on either side of the last Bludgeon fest.-- Theredproject ( talk) 14:00, 22 March 2018 (UTC) reply

4(b) is nowhere near satisfied by an artist who has had one video included in one show with over a hundred other artists. There's nothing significant about an artist who would appear to have had three (count em, 3) film screenings and four art exhibitions in his multi-decade art career. In other words he has a minor exhibition about every three years. Seven shows in twenty years is the definition of an amateur artist, not a notable artist. Even Sunday painters typically exhibit in the annual local show. ANd the sources, Have you noticed that they are terrible and mostly non-existent in terms of critical coverage? in other words, almost nobody has noticed his career. Having read the first AfD, where the comedic claim is made that his self-published book is in the permanent collections of several major museums, thereby satisfying WP:CREATIVE (ha), I am really at a loss as to why you and a couple of other editors are again pushing this clearly non-notable artist so hard.

Delete Fails WP:CREATIVE - having a short video played at Freewaves does not amount to being "a substantial part of a significant exhibition".

And was important enough to be mentioned in a book for his screening. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 00:34, 23 March 2018 (UTC) reply

You can read it that way if you like. However, I read it as "he appeared in an early version of Freewaves, in which his 2 minute video was one of about a hundred screened over the course of the festival at its single venue, and which garnered a brief mention in a single book which goes on to describe all of the videos that played in that session". I'm not denying that being in Freewaves was important for Waugh, or that it was not an honor to be selected, nor that the work was anything other than excellent. However, what we need to know is not "was it exhibited at a major exhibition", but "was it a substantial part of a major exhibition". All I've seen are claims that it was there - to be one of a hundred+ videos played at the venue doesn't make any single work a "substantial part" on its own, nor does having a two sentences in a book show that it was a substantial part of the event. - Bilby ( talk) 00:49, 23 March 2018 (UTC) reply

- You're mistaken about Freewaves. They did not "screen all films at a single venue". Freewaves that year also broadcast on KCET, cable channels, and public access channels. The list of videos you're referencing are the TOTAL shown at the festival that year, including the broadcasts. Not all of them were shown at the MOCA exhibit. Also, do you have a copy of The Sons and Daughter of Los book? GigglesnortHotel ( talk) 15:02, 23 March 2018 (UTC) reply

They may have screened videos elsewhere, (possibly the same ones they screened at the MOCA), but based on what I have the list of films that screened at the MOCA in 1997 was around 100. We're talking about one two minute short film out of approximately 100 screened and describing it as a "substantial part" of Freewaves. That seems like a stretch. And yes, I have the book. Jesse Waugh is raised on page 181, where the author writes two sentences about El Angel. The author then discusses three other films. It shows that someone noted his film, but again it doesn't show that the short film was a substantial part of the festival.

Anyway, I don't want to keep badgering this, so I'll try to leave discussion for others. I just feel that all we've ever seen is that once, 21 years ago, Waugh had a short film appear as a small part of a significant festival. But WP:CREATIVE needs more than that. Handwaving and saying "because it was one of 100 short films screened it must have been a substantial part" just doesn't seem to be enough. - Bilby ( talk) 15:35, 23 March 2018 (UTC) reply

I think Bilby's take on this is spot on. Screening of a two-minute video is fairly insignificant in the context of a festival where 100+ videos are screened. If the screening of this particular work had generated two or three cirtical articles abotu the work, the that would be something. However, it did not, and accordingly what we have here is a minor routine screening. 104.163.147.121 ( talk) 10:18, 24 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Delete. The criterion for being kept a ta second afd is not that it was kept at a previous afd. We have the right to reconsider, and we can use it , provided a reasonable time has gone by--usually interpreted as 6 months. The criterion at any afd for a artist of the sort of works collected by museums is not appearing in a show in a major museum, but being accepted into the permanent collection, which for most museums is considerably more selective. The other half of the criterion--and is is undecided whether one needs to meet one or both, is thee being substantial 3rd party studies of the works. Writing a book that's in a museum's library is normally not enough. (There is a special case with the art form known as artist's books, which may be collected and located as a special collection in a museum library--I don't think that applies here. Being used as the cover of a book is not enough, but it does pose the need for further checking--and the book turns out to be a self-published comic novel [26] The next question is whether it meets the criterion for FILM, and just being shown as an experiemental film in two shows does not. For details there, I refer to Bilby's analysis.

The impression left here is of a not yet notable artist trying to sound established by including everything possible, even inclusion of the work in a student exhibition. That has a unmistakable tone of promotionalism , and that's another reason for rejection. DGG ( talk ) 18:53, 23 March 2018 (UTC) reply

James, David E. (2003). The Sons and Daughters of Los. Temple University Press. The only potentially valid source for supporting notability. However, as was pointed out in the 2nd previous AfD, this consisted of a 2 sentence description of the film, as was done for ~~all the 100+~~ several of the video films shown. Note also the 5th Freewaves Festival was held in August-September 1996, not 1997 as stated in the article. See [28] and [29]. The latter link is to the official Freewaves website which explicitly states that 140 artists were shown at MOCA in the Fifth Freewaves Festival. This is does not equate to being "featured", nor was his work notable enough for a review anywhere. It comes nowhere near passing 4.b of WP:Artist: "The person's work (or works) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition." (my bolding). It comprehensively fails 4.a, 4.c and 4.d as well a criteria 1, 2, and 3.
"Each of These Men Has a Secret", Marie Claire article. According to the abstract the article "Details the challenge to a woman to discover the true personality of six persons through conversation in the United States."

I accessed this at the National Geographic website and there is no mention of either Waugh or his video footage [30]. See also [31]. Even if it were verifiable (which it is not) that some video footage he shot was used in an episode, this does not attest to his notability at all.

There is a brief BBC promotional clip on YouTube posted by Prismania (one of Waugh's companies). For a couple of seconds it shows children handling perfectly ordinary (not "artistic") prisms.

Voceditenore ( talk) 08:33, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Comments: Learn something every day. I have not seen Wikipedia:Vanispamcruftisement (VANISPAM) and can see it has sound reasoning. This AFD has become a circus of attacks and I have noticed several times where salted titles are re-created by adding a simple variation. I think when this becomes evident there should be a speedy delete option. This creative ability to hamper the Wikipedia process, effectively nullifying an admins rights, is sometimes well-used. The protection, according to the policy: "This is useful for bad articles that have been deleted but repeatedly recreated.", but seems woefully ineffective. Maybe we need an added WP:DUMPTRUCKSALT In my opinion a ban should be considered on an editor that barges into a Wikipedia process (especially the subject of the article), tries to steer it like a new Cadillac, and goes off the deep end against editors and Wikipedia. I would also think someone would consider sanctions against any editor that deletes the valid votes of other editors. To me that is an egregious violation and personal attack. I commend editors and closers for starting to look more closely at these things. Otr500 ( talk) 21:25, 27 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Delete - mostly per Voceditenore. Does not look to pass GNG (as much as anyone wants to argue the details of WP:CREATIVE, the lead-in to the criteria is important -- meeting them means the subject would be likely to be notable; a subject isn't simply autonotable upon meeting those subjective criteria because notability is about sources and a guideline like that is just an indication that sources should exist). Also, this whole page is a mess. Kind of an interesting mess, though. I will have to ponder the social and historical implications of the phrasing "unjust witch hunt of anything male". To be clear, though, the sketchiness on this page is not entirely on the side of the keeps. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 05:23, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Delete This artist definitely exists but does not meet our notability guideline for artists. Inclusion of a short film in a group showing of over 100 short films decades ago does not come close to establishing the notability of a motion picture artist. His accomplishments as a painter contribute even less to notability. Sources are weak. The sociopolitical hollering and trolling in this debate is irrelevant. I am a straight white male and make my AfD recommendations based on the quality of any available sources and the topic's compliance with our notability guidelines. I am happy to keep and help improve any biography of any notable person, no matter the race, gender, orientation, age, or moral character of the subject.

Delete, per analysis by Bilby and Voceditenore. The personal attacks by the subject of the article on participants in this discussion are pretty unsavoury; I can understand that having your article dissected in this matter must not be a pleasant experience, but try to address the argument rather than the arguer. I'd note that some of the comments on the "delete" side are also a little unnecessarily personal. In the end, having your article on Wikipedia deleted is not the end of the world. Lankiveil ^{(

A family coffee importing company that has attracted no media attention other than in a few specialty trade papers.

Keep: I've looked into gBooks Search and they've been referenced by 50 published books. To make sure they're all related, I've used the search operator "Vournas * trading" which would look for the exact match, with the asterisk as the wildcard. Almost all results were related to coffee. Other than Vournas Coffee Trading, no other company bares any likeness to their brand name in google search Gerhard.Angeles ( talk) 21:10, 22 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Comment - User:Gerhard.Angeles, I respectfully don't think you're using gBooks search the right way. When I look at the first ten books using your search, only one mentions "Vournas" at all and that's only in two passing phrases (see From Modern Production to Imagined Primitive: The Social World of Coffee, by Paige West). The others either aren't searchable or don't mention Vournas. The problem is that when you search for the phrase "Vournas * Trading", gBooks will show you a wide range of books that it believes might be relevant to the subject matter - in this case, some very interesting books on coffee. Fiachra10003 ( talk) 14:45, 22 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Comment - Interesting. I've been using Google and gBooks for a while. The way Google search operators work is has been identical across their search products.

Gerhard.Angeles ( talk) 16:10, 23 March 2018 (UTC) reply

These are all passing mentions at best -- they list the company's name and nothing more. In order to be notable, there needs to be substantial, independent, third party coverage (all three, at once). Everything about this company except from its own website simply says that it is a coffee trading firm. In order to be notable, there needs to be coverage that explains the company in depth from an outsiders. See WP:CORPDEPTH. -- Fiftytwo thirty ( talk) 02:51, 29 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Noted here. Although, they've been mentioned a lot of times by coffee-related websites, which of course are niched markets. They have a profile in Wallstreet, are mentioned by the Tea & Coffee journal, has several accreditation, and are recognized by the government. With all due respect, I don't think Forbes or New York Times would do a full-blown article on a coffee trading company, even with a business their scale.

Keep Similar efforts to delete historic US television schedules in the basis of WP:NOTTVGUIDE have failed, since that guideline says "historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable." TV Guide helps you choose what to watch out of the programs which are going to be available to watch, now or in the future. No one is going to try and use a 2010 schedule to try to decide what to watch. I do not have the ability to read Greek writings about television programming decisions, but in the US case there is quite a bit of reliable sourcing with discussion of how scheduling decisions aided or hurt viewership of programs. Having block of comedy or drama on a given evening helped create "must see TV" in the era before Netflix binge watching and digital VCRs.

Keep County executive of a county greater than 2,000,000 people now. Also, member of the Seattle City Council (1974-1981). Some non-regional coverage quickly found in the New York Times and a mention in the Washington Post, as well as several wire stories about his negotiations about the Seattle Kingdome. It is hard to imagine that the county executive in one of the 15 largest counties in the United States would not have received additional significant press coverage for their work. -- Enos733 ( talk) 16:17, 9 March 2018 (UTC) reply

The population size of a county is irrelevant to notability or not — the inclusion test for county-level politicians is their degree and depth and range of sourceability, not how many people do or don't live in that county. And neither of those media hits you showed bolsters notability at all, because they're both mere blurbs that mention his name without being about him accomplishing anything that would pass a notability criterion. Bearcat ( talk) 17:01, 11 March 2018 (UTC) reply

As seen in existing practice and as described in WP:POLOUTCOMES, there are existing descriptors that population has an effect on how we view elected officials. "Mayors of cities of at least regional prominence have usually survived AFD," and "although precedent has tended to favor keeping members of the main citywide government of internationally famous metropolitan areas." While there are caveats attached to both, (e.g. "the article should say more than just 'Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville'") there is a common sense approach to recognizing there is a qualitative difference in how we should approach the Mayor of Milwaukee, and the Mayor of Abbotsford. In the former case, there is a natural presumption that there would be significant, contemporary coverage of Mayor of the largest city in the State, while there is no such presumption for the Mayor of a city of less than 2500. Similarly, the standard should be similar for independently elected county executives. County executives of large counties may not receive much national or international coverage, but their actions would very likely receive in-depth contemporary coverage (even if not shown in the article that is nominated), and the sheer size of the jurisdiction does influence how we should approach an article. -- Enos733 ( talk) 02:15, 12 March 2018 (UTC) reply

The problem is WP:POLOUTCOMES is a lagging indicator of how AfDs work. If you look at WP:POLITICIAN, which are the criteria, WP:POLOUTCOMES probably indicates the larger cities probably have more notable press coverage to satisfy #2. In any case, #2 basically says he has to satisfy WP:GNG, and I don't think he does. SportingFlyer talk 02:45, 12 March 2018 (UTC) reply

My sense is that AfDs on local elected officials still cut multiple ways. Most elected officials from smaller jurisdictions are uncontroversially deleted, but once the city reaches a certain size and get coverage from their local, but regional paper, there is more discussion and a diverse set of arguments made. The result sometimes depend on who actually comments on the article, rather than any set criteria, largely because mayors of regional cities (and councilmembers of large jurisdictions) receive coverage of their campaigns and coverage of their actions (with a bias toward the executive in each jurisdiction). To me, this is common sense, and the size of jurisdiction helps answer the questions we ask of a BLP. -- Enos733 ( talk) 03:30, 12 March 2018 (UTC) reply

The size of jurisdiction does not, however, confer an automatic exemption from a local politician's article having to be referenced significantly better than this is. Bearcat ( talk) 18:36, 13 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Keep Historylink supplies sufficient depth of coverage to meet GNG. The fact that HistoryLink gets government support doesn't change a highly valued tertiary source into a primary source; that's like saying we can't trust anything from libraries and universities because they get support from government. It's a public non-profit written by recognized experts, and professionally edited and fact checked. Even without that, the ongoing role of Revelle as spokesman and activist for people with mental health issues, and roles in several medical and mental health groups has been covered locally and nationally spanning multiple decades. KC Exec also meets WP:POLITICIAN, IMHO. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 23:37, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply

It's not a question of whether the organization has received financial support from the government — it's a question of the county government itself having directly created and submitted the specific piece of content under discussion. It's not about where the operating budget funding came from, it's about where the content came from. Bearcat ( talk) 20:37, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply

I think this question is a stretch of the meaning (and primary concern) of WP:PRIMARY). The purpose of WP:PRIMARY is to prevent unsourced, or unverifiable material from serving as the primary source of an article. In practice, a primary source is a blog, press release, or company promotional statement. But, not everything produced by a company is a concern, such as a list of elected officials, a record of official votes, or election results, because inherently, there is no interpretation of the material. Either a person served(s) in office or not. That said, HistoryLink is an independent organization from any government. And even if it were, the sources included in the article would not be a concern. -- Enos733 ( talk) 21:03, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply

No, it's not a stretch of the meaning or primary concern of WP:PRIMARYSOURCES. Content produced by an organization that a person was directly affiliated with — its own "our staff" or "our members" profiles, etc. — certainly serves as verification that they held the claimed role, but it doesn't serve as evidence of notability. It doesn't matter that the county government republished its existing content to a separate platform after his retirement from office meant that there was no place for it on their own website anymore — because they still wrote the content themselves. Bearcat ( talk) 22:13, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Unfortunately that's incredibly flawed logic regarding the library analogy. Instead, this reason this source doesn't fly is similar to a company paying a business publication to write an article about them - it's not actually independently notable. County executives do not meet WP:POLITICIAN per WP:POLOUTCOMES. The reason why so many are blue-linked is because all but two of them held other important statewide posts.

I apologize, but WP:NPOL does not shoehorn in automatic notability for county executives as it is not a statewide office. POL #2 is specific to the individual politician. The article was lacking references when it was nominated and the I don't believe the ones that have been found since the AfD are enough to get past the WP:GNG threshold; the NYT and WaPost articles from earlier have only trivial mentions of him, and the HistoryLink article is questionable.

I get it, SportingFlyer. You don't need to tell me again because I've acknowledged explicitly that I know you disagree with me about this. I got it the first time you said it.

I don't disagree with you on #2, I'm simply letting you know you're interpreting #2 incorrectly (the question isn't is King County Executive is a major local political figure, it's if Revelle is; the county executive is NOT a statewide position, so the position itself cannot convey notability) and that I'm happy to look at other sources which may show notability under WP:GNG, if you know of any.

"Major local political figure" is not a factor of what title the person holds — every single mayor of anywhere, every single city councillor anywhere, every single school board trustee anywhere, could always claim to be a "major local political figure" by sheer virtue of holding the political office that they hold. Majorness is measured by the depth of sourceability that is or isn't present to support a detailed and substantive article about the person, not just by the title the person happens to hold. No political office at the local level — not mayor, not city councillor, not county executive, etc. — gets an automatic notability freebie just for existing: it's the depth of sourcing and substance that tells us whether a local officeholder is "major" enough to pass NPOL #2, not just the fact of holding office in and of itself. Bearcat ( talk) 14:41, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply

And yet your entire argument continues to be based on ignoring the very point you claim to understand. SportingFlyer and I are not expressing personal opinions here — we're stating the facts of how notability on Wikipedia works for local political officeholders, and instead of actually showing any improved evidence of how Revelle actually satisfies any of the facts of how notability works for local political officeholders you just keep reasserting that you understand what we're saying while completely failing to shift your core notability argument to account for what we're saying. Bearcat ( talk) 17:22, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Yes, you think I'm misreading the guideline. I don't know how many different ways I can acknowledge the fact that I know you think my interpretation of the WP:POLITICIAN guideline is wrong. I think you ought to assume good faith when I assure you I have read both your arguments and the guideline, and am not ignoring either. It's just that your arguments didn't convince me. Which is OK. It happens and that's fine. I'm also aware that my arguments didn't convince you. WP:BADGER, WP:COMPULSORY, WP:WABBITSEASON are just some of the pages that discuss the fact that arguments that one finds unconvincing can be left alone. Since it's not a vote and the closing process is all about disregarding poor arguments, it isn't necessary to get me to see the light at any cost. If I am utterly wrong, then we can all trust that the closing editor will disregard what I say. Maybe it will help if I break this down. Here:

The words say "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage", and I don't see how anyone could expect that all editors would agree all the time as to what qualifies as "major" and "significant". Maybe you think I think it says "Local political figures are automatically notable"? I don't think it says that. I think it says they can be notable if the political figure is local, that is, below a statewide office, but something greater than dog catcher. POLOUTCOMES suggests they must be greater than municipal (city) level -- higher than a mayor, and not a county legislator. KC Exec is a higher office than mayor, and is considerably more powerful than the commissions or other executives in many counties, and is indisputably the most important county in Washington. POLOUTCOMES has nothing else to say that it applicable to a county executive, leaving us back with the text of #2 and our own interpretations of it.

The guideline gives us latitude to judge what is major. The political role played by the King County executive (which is not necessarily the same, or even a thing that exists at all, in any other Washington county) makes that office and the person who holds it "major", as I see it. To cite one example, there are innumerable transit issues that affect the entire region, and with KC being the largest of the players in that, the Executive plays an outsized role in state-level legislation related to regional transit, which affects not only the region far beyond KC, but the entire state. Federal transit decisions, both legislative and administrative, are disproportionately influenced by the largest county in Washington, and the KC Executive is frequently the person speaks for the county, and the region as a whole, on those decisions. I could say the same on drug abuse policy, or immigration policy, and many other issues. To change my mind, I would have to see quite a bit of evidence that the KC Executive doesn't have major political influence.

But I can understand if you disagree. You're allowed to and I wouldn't feel like I had to badger you about it.

Note that "significant" from POL #2 is not necessarily as much coverage as WP:GNG requires. If WP:POLITICIAN did require at least as much coverage as GNG, then what would be the point of even having subject-specific guidelines? WP:N says explicitly it doesn't need to be as much coverage as GNG; a subject is notable if it meet either GNG or a subject-specific guideline such as WP:POLITICIAN.

But in this case, my opinion is that even if Revelle didn't meet WP:POLITICIAN #2, the quantity of coverage based on the HistoryLink article + all the other coverage passes GNG, and even if that were not so, the quantity and quality of coverage of Revelle as a mental health activist would also meet the GNG criteria. IMHO. YMMV.

It is a perfectly legitimate opinion that the KC Exec is doesn't qualify as "major" and/or that the coverage is not "significant". I can respect that. And of course it's legitimate to disagree with my opinion about meeting the GNG rule. Things that might change my mind would be evidence that the HistoryLink article was not independent of Randy Revelle. Even if it is not independent of King County (which it is because "This essay made possible by King County" doesn't mean KC controls HistoryLink) the essay was written in 2012, more than 25 years after Revelle last served as KC Executive. The idea that the County is promoting either itself or a former Executive from 25 years ago is implausible. I'd need to see evidence that the County or its officers, circa 2012, could reasonably expect to benefit for doing promotional work for Revelle. A state (not county) law from 1986 requires King County to devote a portion of lodging tax revenue to cultural programs, which KC administers those funds through a public benefit authority. There is lots of objective, independent, and reliable scholarship that is published with public funds such as these. Many other sponsors participated in funding both the Revelle bio and HistoryLink in general. It's legitimate to hold the opposite opinion, and I would come around to agree with that view if I were shown evidence that there is a conflict of interest at HistoryLink.

Very often, an editor's position in an AfD discussion is a matter of individual judgement. There might not always be an overwhelming quantity of evidence and so reasonable editors could disagree in good faith. Perhaps you were having trouble seeing that this could be one such case, but I hope this helps explain why.

Or, it could be that I am grievously mistaken. It could be my judgement is badly off the mark. Regretfully, I have made errors in judgment in the past, and since I am just as fallible now as I was then, I could be making another one. I expect that in the future, I will remain fallible and will inevitably make some errors. I hope I don't make too many, and that I at least learn from the ones I have made and make new mistakes, not the same ones over again. I do not know whether or not you believe that the same capacity for error applies to your judgement. It's not my place to decide that for you. (And I am done now. Please reserve your right to post more if you wish, but I have no intention of saying any more on this.) -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 20:12, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply

The point is that every single local political figure who exists at all would always pass NPOL #2 if all you had to do to satisfy "major" or "significant" was declare the title to be major and show a bit of local media coverage. Every mayor of anywhere, every town or city councillor everywhere, every member of every county council, every school board trustee, every non-winning candidate. For that very reason, the rule is that if a political role is not accepted as an automatic NPOL pass, then to make a holder of that role notable enough for a Wikipedia article you do have to show significant evidence that they're considerably more notable than everybody else at the same level of office — that is, a lot more and/or wider coverage than everybody else at the same level of office could also show. Majorness, for the purposes of passing NPOL, is not attached to the title a person holds: it's attached to the volume and range and depth of media coverage that they receive for their work in that role.

In principle I agree, but the intent of the SNG is a recognition that to a certain degree, not all positions should be treated with the same brush. A strong (independently elected) mayor of a major city should be evaluated differently than a city councilmember of a small jurisdiction and differently than a councilmember of a major city (which Seattle probably is one). To me, the local councilmember or small city mayor (or for that matter a candidate for elected office), should receive significant coverage in a national or international coverage, while a big city mayor should only need strong in-depth coverage about themselves (in addition to routine coverage) in regional papers. In addition we should not read into WP:POLOUTCOMES a bright line between county officials and municipal officials, that somehow, it is more difficult for a county legislator (or executive) to meet WP:NPOL than a similarly situated municipal official (at least in the US). -- Enos733 ( talk) 00:47, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Comment because I was pinged. I made no significant contributions but I did decline the CSD and suggested AFD for the following reasons: The G11 tag had already been declined and addressed once by an experienced editor in good standing. This suggests a disagreement about the article being exclusively promotional -- therefore, the G11 should not have been reapplied but rather the article sent to AFD for discussion. There was some assertion of significance (not notability) as the head of a large retail company who had won a couple of national Qatar awards like Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award -- therefore, the article was suggested to be sent to AFD to discuss the issues (i.e. WP:NBUSINESSPEOPLE and WP:BIO). OTOH, a G5 tag clearly does not apply here without any block, ban or SPI case. And the current issues of SEO and Paid Editing are not covered by CSD, but rather best discussed in a consensus building setting. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 16:27, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply
I tried to address the problems (and despite that a {{UDP}} tag was placed on the article for clean up) and like CactusWriter I don't think these are now valid reasons for AfDing. I mentioned COI on article's talk page and also left some guidelines (including about SEO) on the author's talk page.

Burial places of founders of world religions

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This page is here since 2006. There are lot of problems with the article. There is a lack of references in the article. The article subject is unclear and confusing. First, what is World religion and what should be covered? Subsects and branches are unclear. Should they covered or not? The article lists Christian Science separately! Are Ahmadiyya Muslim? Article lists them separately. While Hinduism only lists Krishna. Is Krishna founder of Hinduism? The founders are all these religions or religious groups are not clear either. Some of them are mythical while some of them are historical and some can not be clearly identified such as in case of Hinduism. The article assumes that all such founders are buried and thus they must have "Burial place". It is not true. Several religious traditions do not bury dead. For example Buddhism. The final resting places are also controversial in many cases and historians do not agree about them. The subject itself is not narrow enough and clear. The information in the article is very poor with little hope of improvement. The article has been here since 2006 with not much improvement either. There are lot of issues and questions posted on its talkpage over the years. Nizil ( talk) 12:03, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Keep. Deletion is not cleanup. The article's state is not that bad - it seems mostly correct. citations should be improved. Some NPOVing needed (particularly in terms of treating tradition as fact and for some perhaps alternative theories). What is a major or world religion is a question (in terms of cutoff) - e.g. Christian Science or Scientology would be on the edge of the branch/cult cutoff (though I could see them included). The topic would meet WP:SAL. Icewhiz ( talk) 12:40, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply
- @ Icewhiz:, can you clarify what is scope of article when the all three words in title are questionable "Burial place", "founder", and "world religion"? Do you think all religions have unique founders with clear burial places? Think about Hinduism. What will you include about it in this article where two words in the title do not apply to it? See Tomb of Jesus as the place of his tomb is disputed. -- Nizil ( talk) 14:23, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  - I'll parse your statement to three:
    1. "Burial place" - I think this is straightforward - it is where a "founder" remain's are purported to be located at. There might be disagreement or different beliefs (particularly so for older relgions) - in which case different alternatives should be listed. When the burial location is a "belief" as opposed to a fact - we should state so. Jesus's place of burial (as well as Jewish figures) is a belief (in fact - there is doubt on the historicity of the figures). The burial place of Bahá'u'lláh is (I think!) a historical fact.
    2. "Founder" - While considering gods or deities as founders for Hinduism (Krishna) and similar pantheons is somewhat suspect (though perhaps possible) - many if not most world religions have clear human founders or alleged founders. We have List of founders of religious traditions - so it seems we can define founder elsewhere.
    3. "World religion" - I think one could agree on a fairly clear criteria. Yes, there are questions over whether say Scientology is a religion (some places recognize it as such, some do not, many do not have an opinion) - however in most cases it is fairly clear what is and what is not a religion. One could argue against "world religion" - or perhaps not. We do have a List of religions and spiritual traditions - so t seems it is possible to compile a list of religions.
  - In short - I do not see the problem here. It is fairly obvious that burial locations (or remains held outside of a tomb - e.g. Gautama Buddha) are notable. There might be a case to merge to List of founders of religious traditions - however due to some traditions of burial being uncertain or possibly needing to account for several such traditions it might get convoluted there - and that other list tries to list one founder, while for burial it make sense to list more than one founding figure if there is such a situation (e.g. I would think it would make sense to list both Shrine of the Báb and Shrine of Bahá'u'lláh for Bahá'í Faith). In cases where there isn't a founder or a burial place (e.g. ascended to heaven, unknown, or whatever) - we could omit the religion or state said status. Icewhiz ( talk) 14:37, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply
    - Thank you for your participation.

Re: 1. "Burial place" - All religions do not bury dead. So how will you list remains held outside of a tomb - e.g. Gautama Buddha? And these remains can not surely belonged to the historical Buddha. They are listed as Relics associated with Buddha, not burial place. So burial place is incorrect for Buddha. Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism do not bury people either (mostly). So how can you list them under title of "Burial place"? In article, for Krishna (who is just a major deity, historicity not validated), the place of his death (which has questionable historicity) is listed, not "Buarial place", and there is no "historical" truth about it. The same applies to other Dharmic religions too. Look Change the name of article where it is questioned by someone in past. See The Buddha too. The burial is a tradition in Abrahamic religions which does not apply everywhere. See NPOV where someone had pointed about Moses whose grave is not exact place. The [Tomb of Jesus]] is not historically accepted place.

Re: 2. "Founder" - List of founders of religious traditions is not about "world religion founders". It list any and all traditions with incorrectly listing people as "founders". Take an example of Mahavira of Jainism. See Jainism#Origins. The origin is obscure and the religion is considered as "eternal". The mythology about it does not let decide founder specifically. So whatever you list is either incorrect or unsuitable. Look at Hinduism. It is also said as eternal and Krishna is just one major deity of thousands of other deities. He is not claimed as "founder". Can you pinpoint who is "founder" in the article of Hinduism? Will you omit Hinduism because it has not one founder or a burial place (as proposed above)?

Re: 3. "World religion" - We do not have article on World religion and is redirected to Major religious groups. Look at the article. Can you list which religions should be listed here? Look at the article Burial places of founders of world religions and say which religious tradition should/should not be in the list. Are Ahmadiyya part of Islam? If yes, it should be covered under Islam. Can you suggest a criteria for "world religion"?

Burial locations of major religious figures are notable but it is difficult to know where they are. And more we go in past, it becomes uncertain for many figures. It can be fairly listed for recent figures but it is problematic for many figures. I have pointed it above. I have questioned the scope of the subject. I have questioned the title. I have not questioned the notability of places associated with these notable figures. Thank you again for engaging in the discussion. Regards-- Nizil ( talk) 04:49, 22 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Most of your points above could be addressed with a rename to say List of purpoted relics of founders of religious traditions (a bit long). A smaller, and probably due change, is World religion to major religion or just religion. Icewhiz ( talk) 05:10, 22 March 2018 (UTC) reply

So you are widening the scope of the current article with "relics" and "religious traditions". Still "founder" is in question. The problem with term "founder" is told above. If you widen the scope of article further, it will be completely new article or possibly list of lists including articles like Relics associated with Buddha, Relics associated with Jesus. But still questions about Hinduism and other Dharmic religions persist.-- Nizil ( talk) 05:21, 22 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Keep First of all, the subject of article is absolutely not a footnote only to guess the satoshi's identity.

It's incorrect to say "connected to", he actually is the creator of the Crypto++ which is an important crypto library, as shown on Crypto++ page.
Adding to the proof of his notability and importance is, one of the world's most important cryptocurrency, Ethereum, names its smallest unit of currency to be after Mr. Wei Dai. In United States one-dollar bill, the equivalent is George Washington.

the deletion-nomination seems

ignoring the existing references already in the article citing his direct and indirect contributions to the development of cryptography
ignoring the article Wei Dai's content itself, which carries his contribution in other cryptography areas.
and, has not conducted "D. Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability" as required by Wikipedia:Articles for deletion before nomination

This subject meets notability test by the fact there are multiple reliable news resources reporting his contributions, plus his academic work in patent and scholar paper. In conclusion, I disagree with this notability challenge and deletion. - Xinbenlv ( talk) 02:02, 23 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Keep Wei's technical report "b-money" is the first reference of the Bitcoin white paper ^[4]. The smallest value unit in Ethereum is "Wei", which is named after Wei Dai.

Keep "Basically, this guy seems to be a footnote in guessing the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, and that's as far as his personal notability goes" - this just shows how ignorant and disrespect whoever wrote that. Anyone who is serious about cryptocurrency and has done his own due diligence probably should know that Wei Dai is one of the earliest pioneers in this field, and Satoshi suggested this description of Bitcoin: “Bitcoin is an implementation of Wei Dai’s b-money proposal on Cypherpunks in 1998 and Nick Szabo’s Bitgold proposal.” I believe this subject definitely meets notability test. - Zhuzeng Lu ( talk) 06:50, 23 March 2018 (UTC) — Zhuzeng Lu ( talk · contribs) has only contributed to the article(s) under discussion for deletion and AFD.

No one here is saying the subject is whose idol or not. Basically, a deletion nomination like this regarding WP:N without due diligence or familiarity to the subject is against the policy Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and shall be flagged a vandalism. Such behavior is toxic to the editorial culture.

Elmidae, I understand you were recently granted "new page reviewer", first of all, congratulations! And I appreciate your motivation to clean up things.

What I disagree with is the approach you took, which is without expertise and due diligence, and ignoring existing content and reference on the page, flag a page for deletion. The reason is that this approach forces people to respond. It sometimes means hijacking other editors' time to debate with you, with which they may contribute on other pages or content.

In fact, I think the ultimate rationale behind your behavior (as I noticed in your contributions that you are constantly flagging pages for deletion) is that you disagree with the community's policy about {{notability|date=March 2018}} tag because you doubt its efficiency - and in fact I couldn't help agreeing with this assessment. If this is true, I'd suggest

- (1) you raise your concern about notability tag policy in the appropriate place, rather than constantly combatting new pages out of your expertise domains. And

- (2) prioritize your flag-for-delete contributions on the pages that already have a notability tag for a long time, because you are sure someone else who also cares about the page, and have visted the page prior to your visit have similar doubt of its notability. You won't need to worry that you don't have expertise, because as admins I believe you were using tools to visit a filtered list of pages such as new page, but that usually mean the page visit was not guarantee to be in your expertise domain. But other random viewer's visit has a higher chance to be related to that viewer' domain expertise. I believe that will bring you closer to your goal. Again, I appreciate your contribution of cleaning things.

Suffice to say that it seems well understood in the NPP crowd that notability tagging in most cases is just equivalent to passing the buck to an empty place at the table - the related maintenance queues are vast and growing, and chances are that nothing will be done about any specific article any time soon. If a check of provided sources raises reasonable doubt about notability (which I believe to be the case here), I prefer to call for a discussion and get decisive input. I don't buy any accusations about "forcing people to respond" - we are all volunteers that do as much as we want to; the final metric is article quality, not how much or how little work any editor was able to get away with; and if there is need for more expansive comments in an AfD, then the likelihood is that there was need for work on the article. - But let's not turn this into too much of a meta-discussion on notability tags vs AfD nominations, please. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 09:44, 25 March 2018 (UTC) reply

The summary for his life as being encyclopedic is: he operated 6 funeral homes, served in county and city politics from 1960 until his death in 2008, was active on numerous boards and community service organizations, leading to the naming of a building at Middlesex County College for him, and donations through a scholarship foundation in his name to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital led to a dedication of a fireplace in the hospital to him.

@ SportingFlyer: Sorry I didn't notice this message earlier (I usually do for AfDs without a ping needed, but I'm pinging you because of my delayed response). No need to apologize, out of respect I'm going to give a somewhat detailed answer if that is ok. I take the view at discussions about deceased figures that local coverage is not necessarily a problem. GNG/NBIO do use dictionary-based definitions such as "worthy of note" as a descriptor for what is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia, but do not discriminate against a subject being worthy of note only in a single state or village. WP:RS does have some discussion which casts a negative light on using local sources as reliable sources, such as WP:CONTEXTMATTERS, but again, it does not discriminate expressly against local sources, assuming a "reputation for checking the facts" ( WP:QUESTIONABLE - sorry for overlinking, I just want to be clear). V is a bit restrictive as well, listing reliable sources to include "mainstream newspapers". NPOV notes a need for a range of sources when a "bias in sources" is possible. In my opinion, OR isn't an issue here, but others can judge whether better if my wordings are NOR/NPOV/NSYNTH. So while an article like this might require a bit more work to write and a bit more effort to insure quality, I don't see a problem in our core content policies for an article like this, nor in our guidelines. There are arguments like the one you make in POLOUTCOMES, but there are many AfDs for articles like this which do not get deleted and many which do, so I don't see that non-vetted supplement as being terribly useful once an article is expanded during the process of an AfD. On the other hand, there are reasons to think the broader community wants articles like this and finds them encyclopedic. For instance, WP:LOCALINT failed in part because it was too restrictive. Also, our longstanding policy, WP:NOTPAPER, encourages users to write articles on a broad range of topics, so long as it is encyclopedic. In my opinion, public officials who are no longer living (so BLP/PROMO concerns no longer apply) who received coverage over an extended period of time or in a range of sources in a region and about whom sources exist so that a START quality article is likely are suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. In my opinion, there is no consensus against this and some consensus in its favor. Smmurphy^(

Delete due to lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. As Icewhiz said, the bulk of the citations are to self-published sources.

- It seems you are just rattling out sources per WP:LOTSOFSOURCES, maybe consider whether they are either reliable or significant. I can tell you for a fact that a large number of those are either a primary source (interview), an unreliably sourced blog, or an insignificant mention like a one sentence name drop. I am still not convinced about the notability as there is no indication you are familiar with notability guidelines._{ZXCVBNM (
  TALK)} 18:33, 26 February 2018 (UTC) reply
  - I have in fact considered the nature of the sources. Several of them are mainstream sites covering the comics industry or pop culture (e.g. CBR, Comics Alliance, Logo, Gizmodo). Notability guidelines (which I am in fact familiar with) don't require that the subject be the primary topic of sources, only that the coverage be significant enough to establish the facts: It's the sole topic of the very long article on MajorSpoilers.com, and in each of the articles covering it as part of a set of related items (CBR, Logo, InsidePulse, The Star) it gets a section header and 150–300 words, which is more than "a one sentence name drop". While a few of the sources I linked to are blogs, it's worth noting that they are bringing up a comic published many years earlier (not just "look what I bought this week"), which speaks to some lasting significance.( WP:SUSTAINED) Which brings up the content of what several of the sources are saying, speaking of the historical notability of the comic for its depiction of gay/bi characters in the 90s, and its niche in the romance genre. The article does a poor job of documenting this; it looks like it's about a forgettable and forgotten series from 20 years ago. But it is not forgotten and it is notable, and the article could be easily improved to reflect that.( WP:NEXIST) If the only sources available were passing mentions and blogs, you would be correct in assessing it as inadequately sourced to keep, but in fact the sources are more reliable and substantial than that. - Jason A. Quest ( talk) 19:44, 26 February 2018 (UTC) reply
    - MajorSpoilers.com is not a reliable source, as it says nothing about what type of editorial staff is on the site (I am guessing there is none). The Gizmodo reference is one sentence. CBR is just a listicle, so it's not significant coverage. The Star has a couple paragraphs, again not significant. Everything else is an unreliable blog post. I'd say the mention in The Star is the closest it comes to notability but that alone cannot carry the article._{ZXCVBNM (

        I agree that most of the sources you listed are unusable blogs.

Redirect to Pahari language (or wherever that gets merged/moved to). It is indeed a mess. Batternut ( talk) 16:41, 26 February 2018 (UTC) reply

The only book result I have found for "Pahri language" relates to Poonch and Rajouri districts, whose articles link to Pahari languages, Pahari language (Kashmir) and Dogri (a Western Pahari language) - who knows which Pahari is intended in such cases, hence wider disambiguation required.^[1]

Don't redirect to Pahari language. First of all, "Pahri" is reliably attested only as the name of a dialect of the Newar language. If redirecting to a single article is to be considered, then this is the only legitimate target. However, now a source has been unearthed (thanks, Batternunt, for finding that!), where "Pahri" refers to Pahari language (Kashmir) (it's obvious from the context that this is the intended meaning). I'm not quite sure what to make of it: it only mentions the languages very briefly before moving on to a completely different topic, and in another place the paper uses a wacky spelling of "Bolti" for Balti language. Are these misspellings, or variants deliberately changed to match the local pronunciation? I don't know. Regardless of how "proper" this use is, I would err on the side of reader convenience and include an entry for this language in the body of the current dab page, not the least because "Pahri" makes sense as a romanisation of that language's native name. I don't think it makes sense as a romanisation of the native names of the other languages listed at the related page Pahari language, but a link to it should be included as the two names are probably easy to confuse. So we now have two more or less legitimate entries, and a third link in the "See also", which is enough to recommend keeping. – Uanfala (talk) 05:33, 5 March 2018 (UTC) reply

@ Uanfala: Could you share that attestation with us? Batternut ( talk) 09:55, 5 March 2018 (UTC) reply

To begin with, the linked article Newar language has a dedicated section about it. – Uanfala (talk) 01:53, 6 March 2018 (UTC) reply

You mean "Sindhupalchowk Pahri", with its citation-free 23 words, which is ambiguous over the spelling, Pahri or Pahari? Batternut ( talk) 10:38, 6 March 2018 (UTC) reply

.... and there's a section in Grierson' Linguistic Survey of India (vol. 3, pt. 1, pp. 227ff). And also, virtually all linguistics papers that come up on a proquest search for "Pahri" are about it. – Uanfala (talk) 15:28, 6 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Grierson does not use the term "Pahri language". If any proquest hits are citable you could add them to the Newar language article. Batternut ( talk) 14:34, 7 March 2018 (UTC) reply

But he does use "Pahri" as the name of a language (and the fact that he sees it as a dialect of Newar is irrelevant). – Uanfala (talk) 00:17, 8 March 2018 (UTC) reply

TL;DR; this idea doesn't help readers, who may be unsure of the spelling and who need one convenient target. Narky Blert ( talk) 01:23, 6 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Another surprising view, in passing: "Language: Nepali ... Status: Nepali is the official language of Sikkim and District of Darjeeling. It is one of the Indian languages of the Indo-Aryan family and belonging to the eastern Pahri group of the Pahri languages," found at Centre For Applied Linguistics & Translation Studies. This instance just shows the wider use of Pahri as an alternate name for Pahari. Batternut ( talk) 23:24, 7 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Almost certainly a typo. – Uanfala (talk) 00:17, 8 March 2018 (UTC) reply

How about merging into the main dab page Pahri? – Uanfala (talk) 01:53, 6 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Simple deletion would be preferable - since the single documented mention of "Pahri language" just looks like a typo of Pahari. Batternut ( talk) 10:38, 6 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Keep: The first 3 results in Google German books are secondary sources that talk a lot about the European Educational Research Association (EERA). 2 of the top 10 Google English books also talk extensively about the EERA and its history and what it has done.

English books

- Europeanizing Education: governing a new policy space by Martin Lawn, Sotiria Grek: the need for an educational organization, who founded EERA, where they met, reasons for forming, how the organization grew
- Evidence and Public Good in Educational Policy, Research and Practice by Mustafa Yunus Eryaman, Barbara Schneider: EERA lobbyed the EU to increase educational research budget
- The Routledge International Encyclopedia of Education by Gary McCulloch, David Crook: shorter handbook, but concise summarization of what the EERA does

German books:

- Bei Vielfalt Chancengleichheit by Marianne Krüger-Potratz, ‎Ursula Neumann, ‎Hans H. Reich: history of EERA's founding, how it chose its main areas of research focus
- Kleine Geschichte der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Erziehungswissenschaft by Peter Horn, Hans-Georg Herrlitz, Christa Berg: more information than you could possibly ever want about the history and founding of the EERA
- Handbuch Bildungsforschung by Rudolf Tippelt, Bernhard Schmidt: shorter handbook, concisely summarizes the main points of the above books

As a note, I see that the current EERA page doesn't have citations. These previous books can cover most of them.

Comment: I’m inclined to say delete. Those sources cited by Walter Görlitz ( talk) are first person interviews with the subject, which surprises me why a veteran AfD editor would interpret them as qualifying criteria. The other sources are promotional . The Psychologist source is an odd duck; although possibly a reliable source among psychology professionals, this one reads like a blog post, including a link to the subject's soundcloud page. What gives me pause is the BBC reference. Can anyone enlighten me on the significance of BBC6? It appears to be a digital streaming service not unlike i-tunes or spotify and it is not the same as being on rotation on their regular commercial channels, although it has programing with presenters. This programing appears to be a mixed bag of significant and unimportant, ranging from archival recordings by notable performers to amateurs who submit their music.

@ ShelbyMarion: 6Music is not available on analogue radio, no, but it is widely available via digital means of transmission and has, I believe, higher listening figures than the classical station Radio 3 (which does have national FM coverage). I think you are underestimating the prestige the station has acquired for itself; it has become a sort of "new generation's Radio 4" as part of the establishmentisation of rock music in the UK. It has a significant new-establishment cultural status (which is precisely what puts me, probably one of 1Xtra's oldest regular listeners, off it, but that's not the point). btw the BBC's more mainstream popular music stations, Radios 1 & 2, do not carry commercials; admittedly they are more "commercial" in the broader sense, but no BBC outlet in the UK carries direct advertising.

With admitted unlimited space there is always room for improvement and good additions. I just saw this and am about to go to bed so haven't had a chance to dig into it. I will state that with what I have seen on the sources I "might" be inclined to also !vote delete. Either of the last two !voting delete would likely result in a delete. "If" a delete is decided you can ask the admin to userfy. You can also provide acceptable sources that some of us may not have access to which would allow a HEY. I will state that "if" sourcing concerns are not addressed there will likely be another nomination even if a "no consensus" is given. This is a BLP and the standards are higher than for other articles. I placed a BLP template on the "new" talk page. Primary sources can not be used to advance notability. I am going to step out and see how it goes but will check in and "if" kept will follow the article. I do not like starting AFD's so hopefully you can make some improvements. Again, being a biography, there needs to be some referenced content along those lines. The last sentence has no source so this is a BLP with no personal information like birthday and year, and other normally given biographical content. Lacking this it appears commercial. Another issue is an orphan article. I am tired but good luck, Otr500 ( talk) 05:37, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

@ Otr500: I do not feel this article is an "orphan". There are links to this page from the following pages /info/en/?search=Eelke_Kleijn /info/en/?search=Jeskola_Buzz /info/en/?search=Ryan_Davis_(musician)#Remixes I also feel the BBC and BPS are very reliable sources. Not sure what I have done wrong with this article. Sarah76 ( talk) 17:24, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Good job and progress. The problems are not what you "have done wrong" it is that what is missing is important for what the Wikipedia community (of which you have included yourself) considers to be notable for inclusion. The BBC source (BBC Radio 6 Music) is titled Nemone's Electric Ladyland and subtitled with The Russian Linesman (an apparent clip doesn't work). Although this reference may be alright for content an issue is the notability of a person (subject) that includes WP:MUSICBIO and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. The source provided is not about the subject ,and this is self evident with the title, and there is an image that I am sure is not the subject as the article is loaded with pronouns "He" and "he". This is an AFD and I am not being ugly when I state that "what have I done wrong" should be "what can I do to fix the article. Two very possible delete !votes have held off but "if there are no better sources for "notability" then I would suggest asking the article to be userfied (you can wait to see "if" it is deleted and ask that admin if you like) or you can roll the dice. I can look at other of the sources but I glanced at this one and agree that first person interviews, primary sources, and trivial mention (subtitles or other sources that do not directly cover the subject) do not advance notability. A subject that self-produces is considered primary and needs other reliable sources to back this up. If I can help I do not mind but the article is not even on the same planet with things I generally cover. This is a good thing because we need coverage of "all things possible, that can be reliably sourced.

I checked BBC Music (I actually joined to look deeper) and again we are looking at mention of this "Nemone's Electric Ladyland". I looked again and the title of this article is still "Russian Linesman (musician)" Otr500 ( talk) 21:53, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Delete. I gave this a second look with the re-listing, and appreciate RobinCarmody addressing my question about BB6. I’m going with delete. All manner of notable and non-notable performers have appeared on or have had their music played on the BBC, and to have an entry on the BBC’s website that reflects that is not the same as having one’s music in regular rotation. The appearance on Electric Ladyland was a 15 minute segment near the end of a 2 hour program, a regular feature where a different musician/music industry type is asked to play three favorite songs by other artists. But the bigger problem is the lack of decent sources. There are three interviews with small, niche music websites, one of which, Change Underground, is a user submitted website for musicians to promote themselves. See this: https://change-underground.com/category/about-c-u/ . The other two, while they lack similar links for verification have articles written with similar verbiage and are equally suspicious of their independence of the promotional interest of the subject . The BPS Psychologist is not a reliable source. It is user submitted per this: https://thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/contribute. ShelbyMarion ( talk) 13:17, 23 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Delete not seeing any coverage of him. FloridaArmy ( talk) 11:27, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Keep - There are multiple sources covering the influence of a Dawit Mulugeta in the context of the scientific field; and such relevant policy does not have to be considerably news worthy, arguably, and although there are no articles solely covering him, there is considerable independent research used by a variety of works that are notable. For example, the main article states that:

"Mulugeta's publications have been used in multiple Consensus Study Reports by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, such as The Impact of Genetically Engineered Crops on Farm Sustainability in the United States. Organizations, such as the Committee on the Impact of Biotechnology, Kenyan Agricultural Research Institute, the United States Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the Division on Earth and Life Studies, have referenced his research to shape agricultural policy."

These pieces of works have been cited in over 100 research articles according to Googles scholar page; and there is considerable mention and proof of his work in the JSTOR database. These are secondary sources (the scholarly pages) that reflect on his work, and use it to advance agricultural policy based on non-theoretical, non-profit studies, used previously by African countries (specifically Ethiopia and Kenya) and more recently the United States. Considerable mention in the scientific journal Weed Science, for which he has published in and published by the WSSA, is rated in the top 20 for research in agronomy according to Cambridge University. An example of one such paper written by Mr. Mulugeta has been cited by a policy source from the National Academy of Sciences, according to Altmetric. From this, I would say this work is "worthy of note", having had a considerable influence (you will find all of what I have stated can be found in the basis of the main articles references). There are many articles of people in Wikipedia whose biographies are not news worthy or have received major coverage, but are labeled as 'notable academics'. According to WP:ACADEMIC, there are multiple reasons for why he is notable:

Mr Mulugeta has been a research scientist and associate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources."
"4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions."

And as stated by that same article:

"Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable."

I should also mention that his work in the SAS programming language has also been used in other publications and books, for which I am currently researching to improve the quality of the article; as well as improving the language of the article in general. I will be happy to have further discussion. Thomasdw22 ( talk) 17:48, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Delete, apparently completely, resoundingly non-notable. Four hits on Highbeam, two on JSTOR, eight on GoogleNews; all are unambiguously false positives, occurrences of the phrase "less collage" in other contexts. We do not need a redirect to Sergei Sviatchenko because this is not a term anyone is likely to search for.

This is part of long-term pattern of promotional editing surrounding Sviatchenko, who is probably notable (though I'm having the greatest difficult finding enough sources to confirm that). Other affected pages are on his father ("Created on request of Sergei Sviatchenko", now also at AfD) and – to a lesser extent – his son.

No, it does not. Dots on maps are not sufficient verification: we have found over and over that there isn't anything where these maps have a dot.

Delete from WP:NGEO: This guideline specifically excludes maps and census tables from consideration when establishing topic notability, because these sources often establish little except the existence of the subject. The fact that it appears as a dot on a UN map [68] does not establish notability. Furthermore the fact that there doesn't appear to be anything at this location calls the map into question.

Lisa B

WP:BLP of a spoken word poet, with no strong claim to passing Wikipedia's inclusion standards for either writers or musicians and no strong reliable source coverage to support it. The only real claim of notability here is winning a local literary award for a chapbook, whereas "notable because awards" for a writer requires national literary awards on the order of the Governor General's Awards or the Griffin Poetry Prize, and the only references here are a primary source list of the participants at a literary event from that event's own self-published website and two pieces in university student newspapers. The latter two sources would be fine for supplementary confirmation of facts after the article had already cleared WP:GNG on better ones, but are not widely distributed enough be bringers of GNG in their own right if they're the best sources that can be provided -- but on a ProQuest search all I can find for her is a couple of readings in event calendars, not substantive coverage about her, and I can find even less on Google, where even using the search term "Lisa B poet" to filter out Lisa B(arbuscia) the fashion model still gets me hits for Lisa B(ernstein) the American jazz singer instead of Lisa B(aird) the Canadian slam poet.

This was created quite a bit later than the other Somali towns we've been discussing, and there are some issues here. The article name itself can be looked up in geonames, and it is a locality which is once again a blank spot on the map. The text of the article, however, claims another name, which geonames does not recognize; moreover, a link to getamap is given, but the coordinates it provides are not even vaguely close to those from geonames (it's almost three degrees further west, for one thing), and it's not apparent that there's anything at that location either. I'm going to have to call this one "unverifiable". Mangoe ( talk) 00:42, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Delete the map doesn't appear to be entirely blank, there's something here very close to the claimed location which looks like it might be a collection of shacks, but Geonames has proven itself to be very unreliable with regard to Somali towns and I think we need another source.
