This organization does not meet notability guidelines. There is no significant coverage in independent sources. Cited sources include little more than passing mentions. One of The Guardian articles is actually written by the organization's founder. Three of the article's main contributors are single purpose accounts that have been blocked as sockpuppets. The article has already been deleted twice as the result of the two previous AFDs. Does

Keep. The very source you offer as evidence of lack of notability does just the opposite. You cherry pick a quote, but fail to say it goes on to write "...it is very likely that this uranium mine will be commissioned in the foreseeable future".

Comment -
http://www.namibianuranium.org/zhonge-resources/ is about investigations, not actual specific mining - I have been a geological assistant in the past, and I am sorry I find it very hard to accept that any investigation ever constitutes a resultant actual mine. Here in Western Australia where I live - uranium deposit investigations mean nothing... such investigations can constitute clarification of deposits - snd newspaper reports - but that never actually specifically designates a resultant mining operation - the factors against actual mining operations are many. If the article was about the deposit - that is a totally different matter.

Comment. Description why PROD was objected, is incorrect. The reason for deletion was given "Not a mine. Exploration property" and this was objected on the basis that incorrect title is not a sufficient reason for deletion without using other tools (move etc) beforehand. It would be probably better to rename it the the
Zhonghe uranium project.

Delete This appears to be a case of
WP:TOOSOON, if at all. The reserves at Zhonghe are not a significant percentage of Namibian uranium reserves. The article says Zhonghe represents one of the largest uranium reserves in Namibia but this is just not true. In fact it has less reserves than any other Namibian uranium mine, except Langer Heinrich, which while almost played out, its ore has twice the concentration of uranium that Zhonghe has. Also, there is no evidence that actual mining is taking place at Zhonghe. It seems that trenching, geological research and geophysical surveying are not yet complete.
Zhonghe Resources In the April 2013 article in the Namibian Sun"Details emerge around Zhonge Uranium" said that there was still a long way to go before the realisation of the project. In December 2016 a manager for Zimabawe government said Zhonge Resources presented its showcase uranium project. Still requires a whole lot of geotechnical & admin beef up to turn around potential. In October 2017 the Namib Times indicated that Low uranium price continues to present major challenge and still listed Zhonghe as an exploration project. There is no mine yet. --

Delete After I just removed an unsupported (grossly exaggerated) claim from this article, the only sentence that remains is that Zhonghe is a mine in Erongo. But this is not true. There is no mine. There is a company, Zhonghe Resources, which has been granted a mining license. The sources listed above are about the company, which in all likelihood is not in Erongo. What is there in Erongo, is an area of deposits that have been analysed. As a company, Zhonghe does not reach notability, that's why renaming is not an option, either. --

This is not relevant for this discussion: the project exists and ironically sources establishing its (weak but still) notability is provided by opponents themselves.

Non-notable columnist and blogger. Fails to meet
WP:GNG. Only 3 sources, and they merely mention him as an 11 years old professor. Even considering the age, notability is not met because all the sources mention about the same thing, "his age". The previous nomination for deletion was closed as "keep" although the voters didn't talk about how the article meets Wikipedia Guidelines. The only reason for their votes was that it passes GNG, although it clearly doesn't. How is the coverage about just one single event enough?

Delete - I was working on an AfD nomination for this article when I noticed another one had already been created, so I'll add my rationale here: A biography about a child; there are a few sources but I do not believe that he meets
WP:GNG yet. Of the three sources, two are based on the same text (not sure if it is a press release, but they cite the same people using the exact same phrasing), and the third is a very brief interview of the subject. That does not amount to
significant coverage. He is not a university lecturer, as claimed in some earlier versions of the article; the University of Spoken English and Computer Science is a language school which uses Safi quite prominently in their advertising (it seems that he he is part of the staff for their programme for children) but it's not an institution of tertiary education. --bonadeacontributionstalk13:25, 20 September 2018 (UTC)reply
KEEP I may even argue a Speedy jeep. He meets criteria. Just look at the over 2000 news article mentions
here. I went through the first few pages. He has more than enough coverage, his age makes him notable. There maybe only 3 references in the article, does not mean that there are only 3 sources. The article needs to be expanded.

What 2000 news articles would that be? When I click that link I'm taken to a page with 96 hits, and the 12 first links I clicked on were verbatim or slightly re-hashed versions of the same press release that's already in the article (that's also easily seen by the fact that the same press kit photos are used in most of them). If you have specific sources that meet
WP:RS, by all means provide them here or add them to the article, but please don't link to a page of search hits, it's not a viable argument. And being young is not part of any notability criteria on Wikipedia. --bonadeacontributionstalk17:47, 23 September 2018 (UTC)reply

Google doesn't always display identically for different people. I probably get the exact same hits, but without Google's well-documented estimation error: when you get a huge number of hits in a search, the first thing you should always do is go to the last search page (sometimes a multi-step process) and there you will see the actual number of hits. My guess is that I get the correct number, 96, since my settings specify 100 hits per page - if I'd had 20 I would probabiy have seen Google's wild guess. And that's one reason why referring to a Google search page is not very useful in a deletion debate. (I took the liberty of making the image smaller so it doesn't clutter the page). My previous comment stands; reprints of a PR are not independent sources (and not news articles), and note that many of the hits are not in fact about Safi at all, but links displaying his name. --bonadeacontributionstalk05:51, 24 September 2018 (UTC)reply
Comment what we seem to disagree on here is whether the sources can in fact be called
WP:SECONDARY. There are three sources currently in the article, where the first one is an AFP press release published in dawn.com; the second one is from ibtimes.co.in and clearly based on the same press release, using the same press kit photos and quoting the same people we saw in the dawn.com source; while the third is a brief promotional blurb written in a sensationalistic tone. In my
WP:BEFORE search I looked through quite a few of the search hits, but everything I found was either evidently (to me, at least)
churnalism based on the same AFP press release - translated into other languages, which doesn't make it any less of a press release - or brief notices. There is no doubt that this is a talented and charismatic person, but there is also no doubt that there is a marketing team behind him, and when we are talking about a child, I think the requirements for actual secondary sources needs to be extra high. If there are in fact multiple independent sources about him, it would be good if those could be mentioned here or added to the article. --bonadeacontributionstalk11:05, 28 September 2018 (UTC)reply
@
Bonadea: If it is true the articles in the second two sources are based on the press release, I'm inclined to agree with you. I have seen other AfDs with similar characteristics, and I question the ability of the journalists to be completely objective on such reporting. On the other hand, it seems to me that the acceptance of the material in the press release is a deliberate editorial judgment by the secondary source, including any fact-checking required before publishing in the same way any other material is published. That is what inclines my choice above to keep, as it still appears to me the
WP:GNG requirement is met. Could you give me two or more other examples at AfD where there were two (or better, even more) reliable secondary sources that were so heavily based on press releases that we rejected the Wiki article's notability? Or is there a discussion anywhere where we take churnalism into account in our decisions on
notability. My feeling is that if material based on press releases is a reason to reject secondary sources, we should probably include that in
WP:GNG and/or
WP:RS if that is going to be the basis of our decisions. I would probably vote in favor of such a proposal. --

I agree that if the language and pics are the same, it is a reasonable assumption it is a result of the work of a PR team, but the
question I raise above, which Bonadea says he will respond to, is whether writing in a secondary source which is clearly based on a press release is sufficient to eliminate or diminish its significance in our
notability requirements. --

WP:NOTNEWS The only reason he is mentioned in the news is that he is a 11 year old kid giving lectures. The kind of "man bites dog" novelty that is expected in a newspaper. The

Delete. No reliable sources. Everything is either a frank press release or is based on a press release.
1/The reason press releases do not show notability is straightforward: they are not independent.: the person, or his press agent, or his speak bureau, says whatever they care to. The reason material based on press releases is not reliable for showing notability is pretty much the same: the source took what the publicist said, and repeated it. When a newspaper or similar source does this, it destroys the presumption that what that source says is reliable on that subject. When 2 or 3 sources use exactly the same words, it doesn't make for stronger evidence, it makes each of them much weaker. This is not based only on my own personal opinion, it is our standard practice, unchallenged on thousands of AfD discussions for many years.
2/Furthermore. it is rational for us to be especially demanding in terms of reliable sources for people whose notability is that of a a motivational speaker, life coach, or blogger --these are occupations that are largely based on publicity, where there is rarely any other criterion than how much publicity they get--and that shows not their importance, but the quality of their press agent.
3/And there is yet another factor: extraordinary claims need extraordinary sources: extraordinarily strong sources, not extraordinarily weak ones. . That an 11 year old is actually notable in these professions would be extraordinary. Dawn even called him a "professor" -- the likelihood of that being hype is much higher than of it having any connection to actual `notability or significance. DGG (

The content of the article is pretty much just trivia on how she relates to other peoples longevity milestones or longevity milestones for various jurisdictions. Besides one sentence about her health, there is essentially nothing said about her in an article about her that doesn't fit in a list. Her age, life dates, and nationality are already recorded on four different lists, so this article is not needed. Given this individuals apparent obscurity, I think heavy weight should be given to her and her family's desire for anonymity as well.

That's the entirety of the article bar one sentence about her using a wheelchair and another about who her successor/predecessor was which isn't enough to justify an article.

It seems almost impossible that a private research group "dug and dug" until they found out who she was in the space of a single day after her predecessor in the "oldest in the world" spot passed away (per the source I cited above, this information was readily available within one day), and it seems almost as unlikely that they put that much effort into finding out who she was in advance, based on the assumption that Baines would die before she did. This is all OR, of course, but I'm not arguing for it to be included in the article, just for the article to be kept pending some source that verifies the mutual premise of both your original AFD and the present one.

And no, they did not wait to do their digging until she became the world's oldest person... they started more or less when she turned 110 (or maybe a few years later, when her age was even more significant...

The band is quite popular in the Montreal area, if you search Laureate Band there are many pages hits associated to them. They most recently played at Beaus fest alongside Sloan, Cancer bats and Fred Penner. Perhaps your searching skills need to be brushed up? All that to say, they tour enough and are represented enough online to merit a wikipedia page. - page creator

Delete. Local popularity in their own hometown is not the Wikipedia inclusion test for a band — since local "popularity" is a vague criterion that literally any musician or band can simply claim to have, just throwing the word "popular" around doesn't accomplish jack split by itself. Rather, getting a band into Wikipedia requires nationalized achievements, like a hit single on the Canadian Hot 100 or a Juno Award or a national tour that generates media coverage. And almost all of the referencing here is either
blogs or
primary sources, which do not count as evidence of notability at all — the only reference here that's doing anything in terms of building a claim to passing GNG in lieu of not actually passing any NMUSIC criteria is the Exclaim! review, which isn't enough coverage to finish the job of getting them over GNG if all the rest of the sourcing around it is garbage. So no, nothing here is enough. Note that I've also bundled their one EP which also has an article, as if the band doesn't qualify for one their EP automatically can't have one either.

I doubt that bundling in another article into an AfD two days after it started is acceptable, unless we give them both 7 days starting from today, and you haven't put an AfD notice on that article to point interested editors here. If this article gets deleted, that one would be probably be an A9 candidate anyway. --

It's allowed, and even if the page is an A9 candidate it has to get noticed before anybody can delete it — A9-eligible albums frequently still malinger for years after their artists get deleted, because nobody's paying attention to them. So it's more appropriate for the album article, if it gets caught in time, to get stapled to the existing AFD discussion to eliminate the possibility of it getting overlooked in the process.

They have several reviews and plenty of coverage outside of just exclaim. They've been covered in new noise magazine, punknews.org as well as on CBC. They have more than just one EP as the previous member puts it.. They have a feature length album, as well as a second album coming out shortly.

They have not been "covered" by the CBC; they had a self-created EPK profile on the part of
CBC Radio 3's website that used to allow bands with music on the site to post their own self-created EPK profiles. That's not
reliable sourcing for the notability of a band, because the band got to put it there themselves (as opposed to having a professional journalist give them coverage, which is the kind of sourcing we're actually looking for). Punknews.org is a web forum, not a reliable source for establishing the notability of a band, and New Noise is a WordPress blog, not a reliable source for establishing the notability of a band. None of those sources help at all.

WP:BLP of a musician, whose claims of notability are resting almost entirely on primary and unreliable sources rather than
reliable source coverage in media. Of the 18 footnotes here, 15 are
blogs or social media posts or directly affiliated websites -- and of the just three references that are actually to reliable media, two are brief unsubstantive blurbs. The one citation to the New York Daily News is much stronger than anything else, so that's certainly a start toward making him notable enough for inclusion -- but it doesn't finish the job of getting him over
WP:GNG all by itself if it's the only valid starter source on offer. As always, it's not the claim to passing NMUSIC that gets a musician over NMUSIC, it's the quality of the referencing that can be provided to support the truth of the claim -- and the referencing here simply isn't cutting it at all.

Keep. I strongly and respectfully do not believe this problem exists, as the individual in the article is not lacking in-depth, non-trivial support. The article clearly references multiple independent secondary sources covering the subject as the main topic of discussion-- and these are not just small or local sources. For example, there is a reference from Billboard, perhaps the most major international music news source, in which the subject of this article is the main topic of discussion. She made her first appearance singing with her mother, Annie Lennox (Grammy and Oscar winning musician) in a PBS live performance, and the article headline is "Annie Lennox On Her 'Beautiful' Stage Debut With Daughter In 'Nostalgia' Concert Special". This is not passing mention-- the fact that she was performing was the main topic of the news article. I would also carefully examine the references from The Telegraph 'Just sweet dreams for Annie Lennox's daughter, Lola', the in-depth profile referenced from Teen Vogue, where Lola Lennox is profiled clearly as the main topic of discussion along with her sister Tali Lennox. There is also the reference from Vogue Magazine where Lola Lennox is profiled as the main subject as well. It's all already in the article quite clearly if you look. There are also the stories published by Cosmopolitan, The Express... Lola Lennox is clearly the main topic of discussion, in-depth, from multiple, credible secondary sources that are indeed already referenced. I believe this is already enough to assert notoriety, as the subject has clearly received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject, as per the Wikipedia notability guidelines. It should also be noted that the subject is very famous in the United Kingdom, despite less notoriety internationally, I do not believe this should affect inclusion into Wikipedia. Also of note for anyone about to Google the subject-- she has been recorded as both Lola Lennox and Lola Fruchtmann in the press-- especially in the UK tabloids-- but she is in fact the same person (full name Lola Lennox Fruchtmann, Stage name Lola Lennox). This may make your search for more queries a bit more tricky on first glance. I agree the article does also reference secondary sources where the subject is mentioned but not the main subject-- but these merely fill out more info for the page and do not negate the clearly referenced and demonstrated articles proving notability that I have just discussed.

I think the title of the article that Billboard chose ("Annie Lennox On Her 'Beautiful' Stage Debut With Daughter In 'Nostalgia' Concert Special") speaks pretty clearly for itself. Also, may I respectfully remind you and everyone that finding the content of a valid source personally boring is not a valid reason to discredit it as "weak" (and saying "woopdy doo").

So the fact that the entire headline is about how she did a major performance with her daughter, Lola Lennox, is discounted because the title says "daughter" instead of her name? Even though the story itself references "Lola Lennox" multiple times and there are two paragraphs in the story directly devoted to describing our subject in the piece? This is not a passing mention. I see what you are trying to project, and where you are coming from, but I'm not buying the argument. This story counts as coverage of her in a major music newssource. It was the entire point of the article-- thus, the title. Cheers x — Preceding

WP:Reference bombed, with no individual source sufficient. None are all of “in depth” and reliable and independent and a secondary source providing commentary. Many need pruning in obviously, but there is no end to the pruning and the article will be reduced to a stub. Verifiable, but not sufficiently covered for her own article. She may yet become Wikipedia-notable, but I feel this is unlikely with a career heading to modelling, modelling rarely generates fresh independent commentary. —

Here is an article written by Julia Neel from British Vogue-- it states "Josephine de la Baume, Lola Lennox, Misty Miller and Sunday Girl - aka Jade Williams - are top of our list of musical talents to keep an ear out for over the next 12 months" and then goes to state "Lola Lennox: The 19-year-old musician daughter of Annie Lennox fuses electro pop with classical sounds – and does a bit of modelling on the side for Prada and Topshop, too." British Vogue is undoubtedly an independent, reliable, and secondary source. This is another article that can contribute to

SmokeyJoe: Sorry for the delay. Here are the screen caps from Evonne Gambrell's piece in Teen Vogue: First page
http://coolspotters.com/files/photos/208218/tali-lennox-and-lola-lennox-gallery.jpg?1357499987. Second and third page:
http://coolspotters.com/files/photos/208223/annie-lennox-and-tali-lennox-gallery.jpg?1357499985. Fourth and fifth page:
http://coolspotters.com/files/photos/208228/annie-lennox-and-tali-lennox-gallery.jpg?1357499984. Here are a few things we can gather from Evonne's words in the profile: 1) She is the daughter of Annie Lennox (Quote, page 2: "Annie Lennox rocked the eighties with her gender bending style-- but her daughters Tali and Lola are finding a rhythm of their own." 2) Lola and her sister Tali are from London: ("Quote, page 3: "declares the Londoner.") 3) Lola is a classical singer (Quote, page 5: "Despite such feuds, the classical singing musician defiantly beats to the march of her own drum.") In addition, there is also a lot describing her fashion sense (It is Teen Vogue, ha)-- which doesn't necessarily need to be written in her Wikipedia article, obviously-- but many of the passages are indeed secondary and in Gambrell's own words and analysis. It is five pages in a printed, independent, secondary, and reliable source that we can definitely use parts of to piece together our article appropriately, and, I believe, lends our subject towards
WP:GNG when we look specifically at the official guidelines and definitions closely. Thanks for taking the time to respond and examine and, again, I hope you find them helpful in your analysis. Much love and cheers x

User:SportingFlyer, I would call that sentence “more than trivial”, but “less than significant”. I have never seen agreement on the threshold of significant coverage, but I think that “two sentences” is an extreme lower limit to even consider. I wish to concede that as far as one sentence goes, that is a pretty good sentence. Not enough for a stand-alone article, I recommend using it to expand for coverage in her mother’s article. —

@
SmokeyJoe: But SmokeyJoe, this British Vogue combined with the other two sources I provided at the bottom should pass
WP:GNG alone, don't you think? And if it does-- she should have her own page per guidelines. The Italian Vogue article has enough secondary information in it alone to create an entire profile of who she is and why she is significant. Why would we throw all of that information in an already lengthy
Annie Lennox page and convolute it when when our subject passes
WP:GNG for a smaller but more organized solo article? I respectfully ask you to please consider my reasoning down the page re: Italian Vogue and look at how this source perfectly fits guidelines-- we have enough secondary information to make an article for our subject, and there is significant coverage in multiple sources per the definitions (it may be contentious, but as far as what the guidelines explicitly read, they do pass-- although British Vogue may be on the very barely pass end, it's still a pass)... What official definition exists that would tell us to delete this page to the contrary? Please review The Italian Vogue sourcing:
https://www.vogue.it/en/vogue-curvy/glam-and-curvy/2010/03/lola-lennox#ad-image10625 There is a TON of information here that is very, very clearly significant secondary, independent, and reliable that I went into detail to explain further below this conversation. A previous user dismissed the whole thing as a primary source interview-- but description of it is plainly false upon further inspection. It is in fact, an entire write up on our subject-- one that included a secondary source write-up, photos from a fashion shoot, and a separate primary interview all together. I think that's a pretty perfect example of sources to base our article on. Again, I ask you to consider my arguments here before you make your final decision. Thanks very much for your perspective. I look forward to hearing your views. Maybe I have missed something, I would love to be enlightened. Much love x

@
SmokeyJoe:@
SportingFlyer: Also my friends, why are we debating what the word "significant" means? That is not what is to be defined here for our analysis of the articles. Wikipedia official guidelines have already defined "significant coverage" for us: Again, directly from
WP:GNG, significant coverage is defined explicitly as "addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." The sourcing in British Vogue and Italian Vogue especially is more than a trivial mention (look at the official example of trivial mention: "Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton,[1] that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band." I don't believe you could argue British Vogue, Teen Vogue, and the Italian Vogue sources cover our subject as that sentence covers "Three Blind Mice"? So it is more than a trivial mention, but does not have to be the main subject of the article. That requirement is fulfilled by all three sources. They all also allow us to "address the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content." Check and check. So, each of these sources individually passes the the bar to meet the definition of "significant coverage". No where in official guidelines does it say how many words or sentences must be used to parlay the information, simply that we must be able to collect detailed information from them, which, even in the British Vogue, we most definitely can, as I previously demonstrated. The Italian Vogue article does that for an entire page, as the whole write up is plainly about her. All parts cited for our Wiki entry are from lines of information that are secondary information that is from an independent and reliable source. These help her pass multiple sources for
WP:GNG. So why, per guidelines, would we not give this subject its own page? Thanks again for listening and look forward to hearing from you. Hope you find my analysis to be worthy of agreement. Much love and cheers x

As discussed above the Italian Vogue piece is an interview, which are viewed negatively for
WP:GNG purposes since it's not necessarily secondary. As noted the British Vogue piece is very brief. I'd be fine with a redirect per SmokeyJoe.
SportingFlyertalk07:02, 1 October 2018 (UTC)reply
@
SportingFlyer: With great respect, I believe the contention in your statement very much conflates the official guidelines rules per analysis of secondary and primary sources-- and leaves the idea that "the [entire] Italian Vogue piece is an interview, which are viewed negatively for
WP:GNG" actually quite incorrect. This is false because this article merely contains a video interview inside of a much larger secondary piece, which should not be disregarded as primary when it is clearly not. Not all elements in the article are the video interview, and what is especially crucial is that all of the specific statements we are actually citing from the source in question for our Wikipedia article are indeed from a secondary source, they are the Vogue author Barbara Frigerio's own words and analysis. Just because an article may contain elements that are primary (any words spoken by Lola Lennox in the video interview) does not mean that every statement cited in the article is from a primary source. You are discounting the entire Italian Vogue article as primary when official guidelines explicitly tell us we should not. In official guideline
WP:PSTS it very clearly and explicitly states: "A source may be considered primary for one statement but secondary for a different one, and sources can contain both primary and secondary source material for the same statement." Following this guideline allows us to examine the entire Italian Vogue piece and source our secondary information explicitly and solely from Barbara Frigerio's own words and analysis, and there is basically the entire sum of information we need about
Lola Lennox's entire life and why she is notable in there to then create the skeleton of our article from secondary, independent, and reliable information. The very explicit reason we need this is because of the rule for
WP:NOR and because we have Barbara Frigerio to interpret the primary information for us and explain it in her own secondary words and analysis-- we do not have to do any original research to create our article, as she has done it for us, and the source is both independent and reliable. She even explicitly states her own analysis that
Lola Lennox is a "young fashion icon" and is "well-known for her talent in fashion." She also explains "why she is famous" and that she "sets trends because she is naturally cool". Those are clear examples of the author's own analysis above and beyond all of the crucial information she also provides us in secondary sourcing about Lola's basic information and life that we need for our Wikipedia entry. I think upon further inspection, and after reviewing the specific points from the guidelines I have laid out for you here, I believe you should agree with them and my arguments clearly laid forth here in good faith. This is clearly enough to build our article from independent, secondary, and reliable sourcing-- and is perhaps the biggest piece that helps our subject pass
WP:GNG. Hope you have an excellent day. With respect and much love x

It's more than one sentence-- and there is a lot of information packed into those lines that can be extracted for the article. As I already noted-- where in the official guidelines can you prove that this does not count? Again, significant coverage is defined in official guidelines as "more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. That's the direct quote from
WP:GNG, not a community unvetted opinion essay that too often float in these discussions as the real definitions. It's definitely not a trivial mention, it is more than that-- it may not be the main topic of the article, but it does not need to be.

The Vogue.co.uk article literally has only one sentence directly covering her in a list of about a dozen people talking about "up and coming stars" seven years ago. It's plainly trivial coverage not suitable for
WP:GNG.
SportingFlyertalk03:49, 30 September 2018 (UTC)reply
Hi SportingFlyer-- I hear your concern, and as you may personally think the article loses merit for notability because of its age-- but under official guidelines, it very explicitly does not:
WP:NOTTEMPORARY. That section states that notability of the subject does not diminish because of when it received notable coverage-- so I believe that argument is moot in standing with the official guidelines, which is what our decisions must be based on. Also there is not one sentence-- there are two-- one in the opening paragraph that describes "Lola Lennox" as A) "a musical talent" and B) that Vogue believes she is "one to watch in 2011". The image and caption describing her also tells us C) Her age D) that she is a musician E) her mother is
Annie Lennox F) her genre is "electro pop fusing classical sounds" G) She is a model H) She has modelled for Topshop and Prada. That is way too much direct information about the subject to be considered a trivial mention, despite, very admittedly, its brevity. Again, the specific definition from official guidelines
WP:GNG states very explicitly that "'significant coverage' addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." This reference addresses the topic directly and detail, so much so that we can find out eight very different and specific pieces of information about the subject so that we can build the article with the provided secondary evidence. This allows us to not need original research to write the article, as British Vogue, combined with Teen Vogue and the other sources, has done the work for us, to then collect and create the whole article. British Vogue is also reliable, independent, and a secondary source and I don't think anyone would dispute that. Again, I believe this reference allows us to write the article from correct secondary sources, and definitely applies to
WP:GNG when we look very specifically at the official guidelinesas they are defined. Appreciate your discussion and hope you find my thoughts worthy of your consideration. Cheers.

Comment There is an article that has

The Teen Vogue profile on the subject does go in depth-- with the author from Teen Vogue speaking on the subject with her own words and analysis for four pages. Teen Vogue is both independent and reliable, and these four pages of content on the subject contain content that is indeed secondary as per official guideline
WP:PSTS. Please keep in mind that sources can contain both primary and secondary content as per official guidelines despite having an interview as part of the material ("A source may be considered primary for one statement but secondary for a different one, and sources can contain both primary and secondary source material for the same statement." as quoted in official guideline
WP:PSTS) The original citation directed the link to a section of the piece that only contained a photo of the subject with brief primary quotes-- Instead, here is a direct link to the secondary sourcing of text from the author's own writing in depth on the subject from Teen Vogue for your consideration. First and second page:

Commment@
SmokeyJoe:@
SportingFlyer:@
Valeince:Here is again another article for your consideration that explicitly talks in detail about our subject-- this time in Italian Vogue by Barbara Frigerio.Vogue Italia is independent, reliable, and in the lines extracted from this article, secondary (the words are Barbara Frigerio's own).https://www.vogue.it/en/vogue-curvy/glam-and-curvy/2010/03/lola-lennox#ad-image10625. In this article we can extract: Lola is A) A model. B) Daughter of
Annie Lennox C) Father is
Uri Fruchtmann D) Sister is
Tali Lennox E) Her parents divorced in 2000 (already cited in Personal Life section). F) Lola is a singer. G) Lola went to a prestigious music school like her mother Annie. H) That school was the
Royal Academy of Music H) She has modelled for
Vanity Fair,
Jalouse, and
Topshop. I) She plays piano and writes music. J) She is from London. Barbara also states her analysis that our subject is a "young fashion icon", is "well-known for her talent in fashion", explains "why she is famous" and that she "sets trends because she is naturally cool". Those are clear examples of the author's own analysis above and beyond all of the crucial information she also provides us in secondary sourcing about Lola's basic information and life that we need for our Wikipedia entry. All of this information is solely and explicitly from Barbara Frigerio's own passages, and are clearly statements that are secondary sourcing. Remember as per official guidelines "A source may be considered primary for one statement but secondary for a different one, and sources can contain both primary and secondary source material for the same statement." as directly quoted in
WP:PSTS. This, in addition to the newly discovered article from British Vogue, and the correct referencing from Teen Vogue alone I believe should settle your desire for secondary sourcing that can be used to build the article's base appropriately per explicit official guidelines, without original research, and establish our subject's passing of
WP:GNG. Thanks for taking the time to respond and examine and, again, I hope you find them helpful in your analysis. Much love and cheers xSoulman1125 (

Keep Based on ensuing discussion, my stance is more of a weak Delete. - I found independent coverage that includes a feature article about the subject in Philadelphia City Paperhere. Mentions in three New York Times articles, one for a building mural the subject painted,
here, another in a review of a Brooklyn museum
here, and the third for a painting of a grinning man included in a gallery showing
here, do not alone hold up as significant coverage. But they add to notability when coupled with several other media outlet coverage. Also helping meet notability guidelines is the subject's inclusion in being named one of 11 City of Philadelphia creative ambassadors. I worked on the article and added a couple more citations, but it could use more paring down and some reorganizing. Still, based on the varied coverage as it stands now, the article passes
WP:GNG,

Comment WP:BASIC says "trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability", which is the case here. Also, please explain how this artist meets WP:NARTIST? He does not meet any of the criteria. The Nytimes sources are the definition of trivial, passing mentions. Here is the all that that Times sources above say
From one courtyard you can look up at Rah Crawford’s “We Are Golden,” depicting Bushwick residents including a pigtailed girl with an outstretched arm holding a red balloon;
an exuberant triptych by Rah Crawford channels Little Richard.
Rah Crawford's buoyant, optimistic depictions of a grinning man (above, iMan: Media) suggest endless possibility.
The Times coverage totals 55 words. The "my City Paper" source is the only decent source. You can dream all you want, but the notability standards are not met by a long shot.

So you are saying that 18 or more words (55/3, roughly) in the New York Times is SIGCOV? What about 16 or 17 words, is that still SIGCOV? It's clearly trivial coverage; two of them are not even complete sentences! Please see the
WP:GNG guideline where trivial mentions are explained in an example: "Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton,[1] that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band." (22 words). The problem here is that 55 words in the NYT is not significant coverage and does not contribute the subject's notability. As the GNG says" "Significant coverageaddresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.

WP:ARTIST, which is a high standard. I agree that the Times is good. 150 words in the New York Times would indeed be excellent coverage. A single sentence, or half a sentence is trivial.

While a bid is possible and is being discussed more than when the similar article was deleted, until things firm up (eg whether it is not clear yet whether this will be a stand alone bid by the English FA, a joint England and other UK nations bid or indeed a UK and Republic of Ireland bid) it is best covered as part of the 2030 world cup article.

Delete. Some merit for a redirect to
John Granville (diplomat) (no need for merge - as the very stubby content here is already there), however the more notable
Ansar al-Tawhid (Syria) should become primary and redirecting
Ansar al-Tawhid (Sudan) does not make much sense. This group basically seems to be known solely in the context of the killing of Granville and being one of two groups claiming responsibility. Back when they claimed responsilbility, one NEWSORG - said "A previously unknown militant group has claimed responsibility for the slaying of a US diplomat in Sudan, a group that monitors extremist web sites said Friday .... there was no way to authenticate the statement by the group calling itself Ansar al-Tawhid, or Companions of Monotheism"[31] which is never a good notability sign. Looking at subsequent coverage of "Ansar al-Tawhid"+Sudan - it seems it is all related to Granville (the trial of the killers and their subsequent escape from jail) - with the same initial claim rehashed. Per -
this book there was yet another group that claimed responsibility (Al-Qaida in the Land of the Two Niles) - and the Sudanese government disputes either exists and did not charge the assassins with belonging to either group (not that the Sudanese government is a trust worthy source for such a classification, but....). So - all we have is one disputed claim of responsibility for an event, making this a T1E and definitely not meeting NCRIMINAL/NORG. The event itself is notable - but we have an article on Granville.

Literally all sources unsuitable for Wikipedia, and mostly primary.
WP:BEFORE shows the football player in RSes. No evidence of notability. This has never been an article with acceptable sourcing for a BLP. Contested PROD - but the editor contesting did not fix the problems ... just removed all the sourcing tags.

As mentioned in my edit summary, those tags I've removed were false since an interview of a person is a secondary and not a primary source. Furthermore a report of someone's activities or words done by an independent source is not a primary source. The
notability of the person was already adressed on the article's talk page on 13 June 2016 after the previous nomination of this article for deletion: the notability is derived from the fact that Chris Odom is an author of a book with a very considerable printing run. --

What you're talking about is your statement "Article's importance> Chris Odom is an author of books with a huge printing run" - this needs independent third-party evidence, and that the books in question are in fact notable themselves. The claim he ghost-wrote someone else's books definitely needs serious verification -

Comment: What concerns me is that the sourcing here is so incredibly light when it comes to which sources on the page can be seen as reliable. Here's my rundown of the sourcing:
Dating Skills Review. This page is more of a database type listing at best and at worst it's a profile page on a site that aims to sell the reader something. When searching through the website for anything that would make this site seem like a reliable source I was bombarded with pop up ads offering me free custom advice. Not the type of thing Wikipedia would see as reliable.
Linkedin. This is at best a primary source. It tends to be heavily discouraged as a primary source on Wikipedia because Linkedin is seen as inherently promotional. Generally speaking, as far as primary sources go this isn't really the type of thing you want to use on here because aside from the site being intended for a way for people to mingle and promote themselves, it's also very frequently used by marketing people who come on Wikipedia to promote a client. I'm not saying that's what is happening here, just explaining why it's such a bad idea to use this as a source unless you have a lot of secondary, independent sourcing to mitigate things.
GitHub. This is a primary source and can't show notability. Offhand, this is more along the lines of a better primary source to use, if you had to rely more heavily on primary sources.
Age of Cryptocurrency. This isn't terrible at all, but it's not really a slam dunk as far as a source goes. I'd consider it to be usable, but it's not enough on its own to really show notability and it's kind of on the lighter side of a mention, all things considered. It's not bad but it's also not as strong as a source as would be needed in a situation where there's really not a lot out there.
Inside Bitcoins. This one is a bit tricky. The main issue here is that it's based on an interview. I don't always agree with it, but interviews and interview based articles are seen as primary sources since the information is coming from the interviewee. There's also some slight concern that the website offers sponsored articles, as traditionally websites that offer this are seen as unreliable on Wikipedia. Still, this doesn't look to be a sponsored article. Long story short, this is really not a strong source to rely on since a good chunk of editors see interview type articles as primary sources that can't give notability.
Bitcoin. This is about a company Odom founded. What weakens the source are two things: that the article is kind of written like a press release and most importantly, that the site
sells products. The latter would invalidate it for many editors.
Amazon. Amazon is definitely an e-commerce site and as such, isn't seen as reliable. It actually shouldn't be used as a source at all, as its usage is seen as both promotional and as Wikipedia potentially endorsing the site and/or product. I would recommend using WorldCat to back up claims of him working on these books. However I do need to state that the claims of him mostly writing the books is not backed up by the Amazon source or WorldCat, so should be removed from the article. For this you'd need a very good, strong source that would stand up under scrutiny.
In the end there is one OK source (the book) and two weaker sources (interview based article and Bitcoin.com). This really isn't enough to establish notability on Wikipedia - you need much, much stronger sourcing than this. Offhand my recommendation would be to look for book reviews in reliable sources that specifically mention him by name. Avoid self-published blogs and PUA type websites for these, as you need things like reviews in newspapers and the like for this to really help bolster the article. I've replaced the Amazon link with a Buzzfeed article, but that's not a super strong source so I wouldn't really rely too heavily on it to help save the article.

Delete'. Not a mine, just a prospect. Also recommend deletion of

WP:TOOSOON. There is no significant coverage because these so-called "mines" are not yet operational, the reserves have yet to be adequately measured, and given the recent and current state of uranium prices, these prospects are unlikely to become mines in the foreseeable future.

Merge At present, neither Tumas nor Tubas are mines, neither operational nor planned. Mining licenses have not been granted. Tubas is a hole in the ground, the size of a small public swimming pool, plus an exploration license, plus an estimation on the deposits. Tumas is the same without the hole, and neither of them are notable as businesses or structures. It would thus make sense to merge the information into
Uranium mining in Namibia in the form of "Deposits have been discovered at..." BTW, Tubas and Tumas are two different place names, 20 kilometres (12 mi) apart, and shouldn't be lumped together in any way. There's as yet no indication that a future mine, if it is ever developed, would cover both deposits.
Tubas Red Sand mine is the same thing as Tubas mine as it is the sand from which the Uranium is to be got. --

Keep. The edits made by SpinningSpark suggest that this topic satisfies GNG and LISTN. If this page is not kept it should be merged to
15th century in philosophy (which is certainly notable due to entire books on the subject), like all the others, per ATD, PRESERVE and R, (or alternatively to
1430s in philosophy).
15th century in philosophy already includes material for 1467, 1499 and 1500, and can (obviously) be expanded further. I don't think UNDUE has any relevance to a recently created stub in the process of expansion per WP:IMPERFECT, since the addition of more diverse material is expected to occur naturally.

20132016. The

Keep. As I read the contriubtion timeline, the discussion on the ruWP indicates the afd was inclining towards deletion, until additional sources were added. If they were added here, it would meet our requirements also. Back 11 years ago when we debated every individual high schools, the presence of factors such as high standing on a list and teachers with particularly high qualification were considered relevant for keeping--as is the case here, and had an influence on the result--although the factor which actually had most influence on the results was how many of the editors on each side appeared for the discussion. My guess then was that we did slightly better than random. We would to much better to maintain the continuing rule that we treat all highschools as notable to avoid the waste of effort in the discussions. It has never been decided that this was not a good argument for maintaining the practice. But even for those who do not agree, we should keep this one. DGG (

Keep The topic is notable; for example, here's a book about one aspect of it: Mining Very Large Databases with Parallel Processing. To understand the general nature of this topic, see Building the biggest scientific databases. Notice that this uses synonyms such as "biggest" and "extremely large", so we should include those terms too. This demonstrates that the dictionary definition argument for deletion is nonsense. We are not dealing with a particular word here and there is no dictionary content – etymology, grammar and the like. Per
WP:DICDEF, what we have here is a
stub for a
broad concept. Note that the page used to be larger but much of the content was
split to form the
VLDB page. That's about an annual conference which is devoted to this topic – the
45th will be next year in Los Angeles. They publish their proceedings each year and so that's another stack of potential sources. As it happens, I shall myself be attending a

@
Andrew Davidson: So you can give me a definition of a very large database? Per the article, it is a database with a lot of records/data (well .. dôh). When does a database qualify as a very large database, and when is a large database not very large anymore? I understand that at some point a db becomes difficult to handle (though, that depends on storage methodology, and what one wants to get out of it. Compare it to a very large dictionary .. whether it contains 1000 words, or 1000.000.000 words, you'll be able to find 'database' quickly knowing how it is sorted. It is just that you need a bigger shelve and a strong table).
(yes, I know, the article was split, the conference isa notable article in itself. And I can seehow there would be a conference on how to shelve something big, and how to organize it, but I don't think the subject discussed there warrants an own article). --

Looking at a PDF of the first book, I see nothing that can be used in this article outside of trivial statements such as how running standard algorithms on large data sets takes a long time. The article originally from SLAC Today is similarly uninstructive, and I would argue that neither provide coverage above the passing level. The article alludes to a "Very Large Database conference", from which sources may be found, but in the absence of those I don't think there are enough sources to support an article.

Comment. I'm not sure yet whether I'm a keep on this yet, but the criticism that there is no exact definition is very much a red herring. Nobody would argue that a
supermarket is "just" a large
grocery store and shouldn't have a separate article. But I doubt if there is any formal definition in square feet or number of products that define a supermarket. There is a definition in the article, it is one that contains so much data "that it requires special processing". It is easy to see that, beyond a certain size, simple or naive sorting and searching algorithms are going to fail. Or at least not return results in a sensible time. The exact borderline is going to be fuzzy, depend on application, user expectation, and it will be constantly shifting as technology improves. The existence of specific conferences for this is kind of compelling for notability.

A VLDB needs other architecture .. but except foroverkill there is no reason why a very small database would not have the same architecture. --

Comment. My name having been invoked above, I note that Google Books shows numerous hits for VLDB. It does seem possible that the term is a
buzzword, particularly as there are not so many recent hits. But it should also be noted that in the world of
Moore's law, one would not expect the term "very large" to be exactly quantified: exponential growth doesn't work like that. There was a "Very Large Databases Conference" series that ran to at least 35 editions. Conclusion: it was a perfectly valid engineering concept at that time of the article's creation in 2005.
[42] equates it to an "enterprise class database" primarily for big data. Actually that could usefully be written conversely: unless you need a VLDB you don't have big data. "VLDB" may now mean a 5 TB range
[43]. My conclusion is that the article could well be redirected to
Big data#Architecture.

@
Charles Matthews: I guess that my 'problem' here is the distinction between 'database' and 'very large database'. The only difference is plainly size, and it only becomes a VLDB when its users need to use other techniques than what they would on a regular database (and a properly designed database may never become a VLDB ..). --
Dirk BeetstraTC04:41, 29 September 2018 (UTC)reply
<shrug> We are talking about engineering issues, and whether there is a qualitative difference between regular and "very large" databases. As a member of my family says, if your data fits on a laptop, it isn't "big data". If your database requires no special work for the application, it isn't "very large". We may be agreeing here. I don't see anything wrong if some who searches here for "very large database" finds a historical section about big data. It's obviously a moving target.

If the article actually had some details of the techniques and hardware used for VLDB with some helpful links to other Wikipedia articles or external papers then I would be at keep. If someone so expands the article during the course of this AfD then I will change to keep. But as it stands, I think our best option is Charles Matthews suggestion of a merge and redirect to
Big data#Architecture. Certainly,
Very large database and
VLDB should lead somewhere on Wikipedia. Completely redlinking it would be bad.

Keep - VLDB has had a 40+ year history before "Big Data" and usage only appears to decline in about 2005 (
Google Ngrams,
Google Trends). Some of the early history can start with RAND/ARPA VLDB program and the VLDB Conference. Burroughs specified a computer to handle VLDB. As mentioned by Spinningspark, seems like this article could include the major innovations to support VLDB, mining the conference and awards. Also, "big data" has its 3+ V's but it doesn't define how big they have to be to be considered "big data" instead of just "data". My (worthless) opinion is VLDB generally refers to the biggest DBs (like
top500) and next-gen DBs.

Keep or Speedy keep: The VLDB article has potential for growth and I expect at some point may receive a one liner from a/the storage section of the database article, and possibly one other location in it. Giving some
WP:ORIGINAL thoughtlines the special processing referred to may relate to conventional DBMS management techniques becoming stretched so specialist approaches and configurations are required to holistically manage the scenario. Technically 2TB, 8TB and 32TB file limit sizes have been issues, as have the number of files a DBMS can support. Backup / recovery and maintenance will become issues. All these best discussed in a stand alone article. I know oracle used the VLDB term a lot, and quite simply not so sure about other vendors. There are even whole conferences on it in 2005 and 2018! I partly suspect due to some of the issues RDBMS can have with large data volumes, and partly due to fashion, a 'Bigdata' approach rather than getting into a 'VLDB' approach might be the current preferred approach. In all events AfD's tend to be minimally disruptive for the nominator but can be disproportionally more so for a rescue or non minimalistic merge. And AfD is a bad place for discussing merges. In this case a
Template:Missing information could have been a precursor step to going to AfD (not perfect but Okay. So speedy keep add Missing information template is fine. Adding the computing Wikiproject to the talk page would have been useful also.

Does not appear to meet
WP:GNG,
WP:ORGCRITE,
WP:NNEWSPAPER, claims to high readership are not verifiable (and are not criteria for notability; if a publication is widely read, there will be independent coverage of it) and neither Portfolio.hu nor the lone independent source appear to have ever been mentioned on
the reliable sources noticeboard. Corresponding article on the Hungarian wiki does not appear to have any reliable sources cited either.
This is a response to the comment above: the claims made on high readership are verifiable, they are explicitly mentioned in Hungarian articles of independent, major newsoutlets writing about the latest Gemius audit reports on which online news site made it into the top segment in Hungary. Thus the statement on this is wrong. English sources are not available on this, but that is also the case for many foreign newspapers, and it is not a criteria for verifiability, as the foreign language sources can easily be translated. This news site is listed among the oldest and biggest economic journals in Hungary, which is regularly cited in Hungarian media. This statement can also be verified, though it is not currently cited. I believe that this fact has to translate into adequate notability with respect to Hungarian news sites. Reaching such readership as cited in a small country of 10 million puts it in comparison to leading news sites in advanved countries, such as the US. A less relevant note, but it seems to me the notability of most other Hungarian news sites currently covered in this wiki's corresponding section could be attacked in a similar fashion, which I do not see as justified. signed, bence.andrastalk 09:40, 14 September 2018 CEST

Hello, I have added two additional, independent third-party sources, which both explicitly mention Portfolio.hu's readership statistics, and confirm the ~1 mln/month number. One of them explicitly states that Portfolio.hu has been the most read financial newspaper in Hungary up to last year, when it was overtaken by a competitor, and came in second place. The article is thus correctly worded that it is "one of the most read" financial newspapers in Hungary, but not the most read. This fact justifies, that it is a notable newspaper in Hungary. Now, three independent sources are put in place to verify this information. The citation for portfoliocsoport.hu actually is not a self-reference, but it includes references to some DKT Gemius auditor data, that is why I believe that it is acceptable to provide that as a source as well. DKT Gemius is a paid audit service in Hungary, however, I am not sure if it is freely available.signed, bence.andrastalk —Preceding

Thanks for providing additional citations, they do appear to back up the claims made by the article. The only remaining concern is that while these websites appear to justify these claims, they still don't discuss the subject in-depth, as nominally required by
WP:GNG.
WP:NNEWSPAPER, which is a relevant subject-specific essay, says that a periodical can be considered notable if it has made a significant impact in its field. Interpreted charitably, portfolio.hu's high readership would clear this hurdle, but it seems odd that a subject specific guideline for newspapers doesn't explicitly say that high readership demonstrates notability (although this could perhaps be explained away due to it being an essay, and not a guideline or policy). I'm tempted to say that notability has been demonstrated, but I would like other editors to chime in as well before withdrawing my nomination. signed, Rosguilltalk17:51, 19 September 2018 (UTC)reply

That a source verifies that until last year, "Portfolio.hu [was] the most read financial newspaper in Hungary" establishes it is notable.
Keep. The claims made in the article to significance are backed up by the sources, they need translating and re-reading etc as foreign language, but I can't see any problem with notability.

I think it easily passes WPNCORP and WPGNG which have clear instructions.

73.237.151.248, when you say I fixed the tone and removed promotional wording, are you referring to
this diff?
Comment Thanks, I thought MarketWatch, La Tribune, Gartner, La French Tech, TechCrunch, Forbes are all reliable, so I thought it would be a good inclusion. Anyway, a good experience so far.

Keep He was awarded a Joan Mitchell Foundation grant in 2014
[62]. And here is a Regional Museum solo show
[63]. The CV here
[64] indicates about a dozen collections, most of which are corporate which are often hard to verify, but the
four works in the
Canada Council Artbank alone should do the trick to put this over the top. --

The Joan Mitchell grant is good for an artist ($25,000), but neither GNG or NARTIST says anything about grants. If it did, we would have to give articles to everyone who ever got a Canada Council, NEA or similar grant. most artists I know have had triple that in grants, and not all are notable. The Regina show is a gallery listing and not independent. The Art Bank is excellent, I did not see that, thank you. However in the total absence of other sources, it's not enough.

Grants from foundations are not notability claims for an artist in and of themselves, especially if the foundation is so little-known that the grant can be "referenced" only to the foundation's own
self-published website — the ability of an award or grant to count as an article-clinching notability claim is strictly coterminous with the extent to which the media can be shown to care about that award or grant by reporting its winners or recipients as news.

Delete Kottmann has been showing in commercial galleries and his work appears to command 5-digit prices. The problem is that there is very little, if any, coverage in independent, reliable sources. There is a documentary about him (an abridged version is available on youtube), but it's been produced by by a school where he teaches, ACAD). There is an exhibition text for an exhibition at stride, More real than nature: The work of Don Kottmann by Tanya E. Hartman, but such texts are usually commissioned, and not created independently. Even if we accept the Mitchell grant and the exhibition at the Nerman museum as sufficient evidence of notability, I cannot find any material that would sustain an article.

Delete I can find some minor awards and there is some coverage of his work as an instructor. His work has not been exhibited in significant exhibitions or gained significant critical attention, nor is it in the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

Speedy delete. As no entity is clearly defined, G11 does not apply. Looks much more like a test edit of some sort, perhaps related to some NASA venture as Touch-And-Go Camera Systems are mentioned. Suggest deletion under

This is an article about a deputy county attorney in a County Attorney’s office. She does not meet
WP:GNG or
WP:BIO, and no one would have even thought of writing an article about her except for one thing: she was written about in many news stories on one day, September 27, 2018, because of her involvement that day, and that day only, in the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. This looks like a classic case of
WP:BLP1E, or more accurately,
WP:BIO1E: "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. … When the role played by an individual in the event is less significant, an independent article may not be needed, and a redirect is appropriate."

Keep (this will likely be a snow keep) As the nom quoted
WP:BIO1E "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." The event was highly significant. Her role was large. Several dozen of the world's most reliable sources mention her prominently in the coverage of the event and several had individual articles about her.
At home in Maricopa County, AZ, the fourth-most populous county in the US, she's pretty well known as a Deputy County Attorney, and there are likely multiple articles on her work there.

Yes, the event was a highly significant. No, her role was not large. She had a bit part. She will never again achieve national notice after 48 hours have passed. You're probably right that this will be a snow keep, because the past two years have shown that virtually everything that involves Trump or the Trump administration always gets kept at AfD, no matter how minor it is. I did have a hope that this one time it might be possible to apply Wikipedia guidelines long enough to realize that this is a classic case of BIO1E. Also, to respond to Casprings below: she already has a one-sentence bio in each of the three relevant articles; that will be enough in 10 years. --

Keep Per, Smallbones. Her role here was significant and she is also likely notable for her previous work. Again, this is a bio that will have significance in 10 years.

Keep - County and district attorneys at large offices are frequently mentioned in the news (49 times before 2018 for Mitchell in AZ papers indexed by newspapers.com
[66]) and are minor public figures. Calling these passing mentions seems off, in many cases she was literally creating the news story by her decisions. If she was never the subject of a published profile, it would be hard to write a NPOV, NOR article about her. But because of recent events, she now has numerous profiles written about her career. So to me, her position is encyclopedic and her article can be written to satisfy our
core content criteria so there is little reason not to keep. However, as she is not the head of the department and for other obvious reasons, I think great care needs to be taken and
WP:NPF can be invoked in age-content disputes, etc.

Added some cites and material. As to notability, compare Erin Morrow Hawley (deemed not notable) and
Zina Bash (so far found notable). Mitchell would be more notable for her office if she was compared to other law enforcement figures or prosecutors, e.g., if her policies of law enforcement had been in conflict with Sheriff Arapaho, or say in contrast to efforts in this field in Denver or Dallas.

Keep - The Kavanaugh hearings were obviously notable. Mitchell's role in the hearings was also extremely notable; she was hired to play a certain role, but clearly made many decisions on what to ask and how to ask it. Her decisions were literally history-shaping. It's hard to imagine any argument for deletion. — Lawrence King(
