Comment this is a very well-known soft drink here in France that's been around for nearly 50 years and I'm very surprised there aren't more sources even on the French page. I'll have a look around as from personal experience I would think they

Anyone can write anything into an article, the point is that there was no source to support that assertion. The article sat unsourced for years, and your lazy prod removal without even making a pass at addressing the problem was insulting and borderline disruptive.
Zaathras (

22:13, 12 August 2020 (UTC)reply
It is true anyone can add anything into an article but your prodding rational was "zero assertion of notability" which as Andrew points out is false as the article states "It is well known in France". I would be tempted to say that your Prod was particularly lazy as well. I don't think it takes much imagination to suppose that a soft drink that has been around for 50 years has acquired enough notability to be in Wikipedia and that sources will
exist. So maybe prodding is not a sensible approach because it is meant for uncontroversial deletion. On top of this the French language version does have some sources so even if you can't read French you can deduce that sources do in fact exist and the article needs improving instead of deleting. --
Dom from Paris (

08:33, 13 August 2020 (UTC)reply
Also you may need to revise the definition of
disruptive editing because as clearly stated in
WP:DEPROD when deprodding "You are strongly encouraged, but not required, to also: ...Consider improving the page to address the concerns raised." (my bolding) You may consider Andrew as having been lazy but laziness is not in itself disruptive as long as guidelines and policy are respected which it was. And also if you feel insulted if someone removes your PROD I would strongly suggest not adding them because they get removed all the time. --

Started as Ambrose Ranch and then the Ambrose station was created on the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe RR. The ranch land was sold to build an oil refinery. After WWII the the surrounding area was filled with suburban tract homes, none bearing the name Ambrose. An Ambrose Park and Recreation District was donated by one of the wealthy housing developers. So, the name has some history as a locality but doesn't seen that anyone ever considered it a community. Area is now a census designated place called Bay Point. I don't think it's notable as a standalone article but If folks prefer, we could redirect to
Bay Point, California.

Redirect to
Bay Point, California or delete. Ambrose has no legal recognition as a locale (GNIS does not count) -
no post office. No non-trivial coverage. I found no references for Ambrose being a community in Google Books. In newspapers.com, I found some trivial references where it was claimed that someone lived at Ambrose:
[5],
[6],
[7]. Google Books and newspapers.com also had reports about an Ambrose school, Ambrose Park and Rec. and Ambrose Park. Ambrose Park is not very close to the GNIS location of Ambrose siding. I don't have strong feelings that this should be a redirect, but by redirecting instead of deleting we might prevent the article from being recreated. Also,
Bay Point, California covers Ambrose Park.

Delete Non-notable. While there is a lot of content in the article, notability is barely even asserted. I would be strongly against merging into either his father's article or especially
Roosevelt family. If a person does not have independent notability, then their biography is not suitable for the encyclopedia. This is in contrast to sourced non-notable non-person articles which can be integrated into larger notable topics. At most a few sentences in his father's article would be appropriate if they can be sourced.--

The page only lists
WP:Partial title matches, and I'm not sure any of them would be simply called "Schwester". The "People" section is especially inadequate for a disambiguation page, as the first entry is similar to listing all rappers starting with "lil" on a dab page for that, while the other one is like doing so with all nurses under "nurse". As a general rule for foreign-language redirects, I think it's fair to say that if the topic is a common noun, PTMs are probably too generic if they are such with the English translation. See also

Phew. I tried to salvage this advertisement for a botched scam-ridden Mumbai building, which is unfinished and whose only notability seems to be the fact that it is unfinished. I cannot find in-depth reliable sources that attest to its notability. The only news on it has been surrounding the financial irregularities of the project. Even after removing all the puffery in the article and balancing it with the controversy section, I have come to the conclusion that it does not at all meet Wiki's notability guidelines.

parent company is a huge company with lots of business portfolios and subsidiaries, and mentioning this paritcular subsidary without the other subsidiaries the company controls seems to
give undue weight to this subsidiary. --

I think we hard similar deletion for HK conglomerate already. Such as
Emperor Group's subsidiaries. It is not relevant that how big parent company is (or how long the parent article), if the subsidiary's GNG/NCORP is derived from parent company and the subsidiary itself does not have stand-alone GNG/NCORP passing status, some GNG content of the subsidiary should merge to parent company's article.

Matthew hk, thanks for the comment. The point is, as a large company, Sun Hung Kai has hundreds of subsidiaries (see
p.228 - 236 of their annual report for a list of their subsidiaries), and if the contents of this particular subsidiary was merged into the SHK article (but not other subsidiaries), this would give undue weight on an article on SHK, as I would have thought this particular subsidiary would have been a minor aspect of SHK per
WP:BALASP. This is not relevant to the length of the SHK article. For the same reasons, I am not sure I agree with you that this subsidiary has inherited GNG or NCORP from its parent. Again, we can discuss on the sources if you could provide the news article results you found on Sanfield (Management) or 新輝. Thanks for the contribution --

This one is another puzzle, in that there was a prominent McKay family of loggers, and their names show up constantly in searching. There is also an area to the east of this supposed settlement called "McKay's Point", and just east of that is the McKay's Point Dam and reservoir. What I cannot find is anyone referring to a place called McKay, other than standard clickbait. The closest I came was local historical reminiscence talking about the family and implying that the various members lived close to one another. It's possible that this McKay is that locale, but I cannot firmly establish that.

Keep,
notable film editor/actor during his 30+ year career. Body of work; 32 films, 11 TV shows, 1 video game and 2 music videos. IMDb lists Ciccone's domestic Box Office for 16 films at $847,257,098. He is the only "hyphenate" Picture Editor/Actor that I am aware of. Since the dominate basis for article deletion nomination is mis-understanding that Ciccone did not 'rise above role of "assistant" film editor', I will start with that. Motion Pictures Editors Guild has Ciccone classified a Z1 Motion Picture Editor (highest classification) since 1999. Other "final credit" titles that can be attributed to a Z1 Picture Editor include; "Additional Editor" "Associate Editor" "Editorial Consultant" "Co-Editor". Meets
WP:FILM Sources/significant coverage on his career. Google search for Tony Cicconeeditor resulted in 93 global websites that include his bio and/or his resume; 5 "celebrity" websites include bio/net worth/personal details; 3 websites contained articles on his work. Google's People Also Searched For included;
notable collaborators; Hans Zimmer, Tom Cruise, Paula Wagner, Robert Towne, Thandie Newton, Ving Rhames. One can make a reasonable presumption early in his career, that Ciccone appeared in TV Guide "Guest Star" listings. Regarding IMDb Pro Starmeter system, where filmmakers are given a rating, Ciccone's career span has a much lower (better) star-rating than most other picture/sound editors listed in Wikipedia. This tells me that he specifically is popular. I will add more sourcing shortly, bear with me, I am a novice. Article has been live since March 17, 2008. The material is out there, the subject just needs a little TLC as opposed to deletion. User:John53710:51, 15 August 2020 (UTC) —

Comment. The claims of the nomination are false. It was easy to find reliable, substantial secondary sources. References have been added to make a robust list. Furthermore, when I posted this article in 2008, I had no idea there was an obligation for me to contribute on various topics. Just because I can doesn't mean I have to. Leave me out of the equation and 33 other editors have still contributed 71 edits - not nominate the article for deletion. Perhaps they thought, "why would I delete a stub that provides information to people who are seeking it?" Notability isn't a reward Wikipedians hand out for achievements, it's a reflection of how a subject is viewed by independent, reliable sources. Over 90 independent secondary sources worldwide have published information on Ciccone for other's to know. IMDb shows the cover to a magazine that interviewed him when he was an apprentice editor. They consider him notable, which means he is notable. The films he's done have grossed over $1,000,000,000 in world-wide box office. User:John537 11:43AM, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
Namedropping famous actors/celebrities or how much the films he's worked on have earned at the box office do not help in establishing notability. On the contrary, all the sources therein are either
primary or
nonviable: Facebook, Netflix, generic cast listings, Blogspot, IMDb, the Swedish Movie Database (wtf?) and so on. Promotional content, such as an "unofficial" Facebook page, "body of work" blurb at the beginning and unverifiable "breaking new ground" hyperbole, has been removed. It's clear as crystal that you're really doing nothing more than promoting the subject — maybe a
conflict of interest even — as your edit history completely centers around Tony Ciccone.

Another rail facility mistakenly identified as a community. Durham calls it a locality on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe RR.

The subject is a toddler who has yet to do anything more noteworthy than being born, thus falling under
WP:BLP1E.
The topic fails
WP:GNG and
WP:BASIC because there is no significant coverage, nor can there realistically be any. What the reliable sources have covered is his birth, a single event that should be covered in the biographies of his parents.
That a child is related to public figures is not a reason for a standalone article about the child, as explained by the
WP:INVALIDBIO guideline. Everything there is to say about Gabriel, i.e. his name and date of birth, is stated in the articles about his parents and that should suffice.
Aside from his birth, the 2-year-old "remains, and is likely to remain, a
low-profile individual". This again ties in with
WP:BLP1E. The likelihood is due to his removal from the royal house and the announcement that he will not perform royal duties as an adult.
[9]
Since there is nothing to say about the 2-year-old other than that he was born and that he is related to some people, the article functions merely as a genealogical entry. Yet Wikipedia is not a genealogy database dump, per

The argument is not that he has lost notability by being relieved of any future royal role. There has never been notability as defined by

The result was delete. This is an extremely messy discussion, but on the balance there is consensus for deletion. As those arguing to delete correctly point out, NCORP requires not only significant coverage in reliable sources, but significant intellectually independent coverage in reliable sources. While many sources were provided in this discussion, those sources were convincingly rebutted. Some "keep" !votes were also particularly weak, as they did not address the subject's notability directly, and as such received less weight. Vanamonde (

No evidence of notability under
WP:NCORP or
WP:GNG. Claims are sourced to self-sources, one "startup news" source repeating promotional claims, one actual RS talking about the company and its activities. Previous sourcing included extensive cites to cryptocurrency sites, which are not usable for claims of notability, and press-release churnalism about things the company claimed it was going to do.
WP:BEFORE shows almost entirely such promotional churnalism about
things that had not happened and that there's no evidence ever did happen. Extensive filbustering of the previous AFD led to a "no consensus" result; I'm pretty sure nothing of substance has shown up in the years since.

The book provides four paragraphs of coverage about the subject.
Here is analysis from the fourth paragraph about Power Ledger's challenges:
Regulatory pressure and funding will be the main challenges for the future of Power Ledger. On one hand, very few major power companies are willing to promote a distributed energy system; on the other hand, a P2P power transaction system will reduce people's dependence on a centralized power grid, and therefore, centralized energy suppliers would probably try to convince the government to charge a power grid usage expense, which would affect the large-scale application of a P2P power system. Moreover, Power Ledger has a fatal defect, which is the token it requires, named POWR. This project requests all energy sales and service third parties who use the Power Ledger platform to purchase POWR; otherwise they will not be able to provide services to customers. This means enterprises on the Power Ledger platform need to put a lot of dead money into it, which significantly affects the passion of partners.
The book has critical analysis about Power Ledger. It notes that Power Ledger "has a fatal defect, which is the token it requires" and that Power Ledger's main challenges are "regulatory pressure and funding".
The article says Power Ledger is "A prominent Australian blockchain company that rewarded fake social media profiles for spruiking its virtual currency".
This extensive profile of the company contains critical analysis about Power Ledger. The article notes, "Now, some experienced tech and green-industry figures are posing an awkward question: does Power Ledger epitomise the over-hyping of blockchain?" The article further notes, "Articles exaggerated Power Ledger's achievements. The company was often described as operating a retail electricity market, and sounded liked an eBay or Amazon for solar power. In reality, it was building the technology and didn't have a commercial market operating. Twitter was flooded with posts. Some claimed Musk had asked the company for advice. Fake accounts were rewarded with POWR tokens for their promotional work."
The article includes negative coverage about Power Ledger, "A Perth blockchain company suing The Australian Financial Review won an international business competition judged by entrepreneur Richard Branson after hiring the contest's founder." The article further notes why Power Ledger is unhappy with the coverage the Financial Review has provided it, "Power Ledger is suing the Financial Review in the West Australian Supreme Court over articles published in December that raised questions about how the company raised $34 million for its blockchain tokens, and the effectiveness of its electricity-trading system."
The article includes critical analysis of Power Ledger. It notes, "But some people are sceptical about the business case and although it has secured trial deployments with energy companies from Australia to New Zealand, Thailand, Japan and the US, only Thailand has led to a commercial rollout so far." It has a caption that says "Despite winning Richard Branson's "extreme tech challenge" in October last year, Power Ledger has failed to convert most of its blockchain energy trials into commercial deployments."
The article notes: "The biggest company that gave us our inspiration was Power Ledger [5]. Power Ledger provides a service to do peer-to-peer energy transactions. Power Ledger’s transaction works by using two tokens: POWS and Sparkz." The article has a section about Power Ledger that lists strengths of the platform and then says "In addition to the aforementioned advantages, this paper suggests some improvements" to Power Ledger.
I've collapsed the details so as to avoid the appearance of filibustering this nomination as well. Those three news articles are about PowerLedger as a failed scam - but the first and the last two are failed
WP:CRYSTAL - they just repeat aspirations claimed by the company (aspirations that failed), rather than being sources of factual claims about the company, I believe you brought these up last time as well, and nobody was impressed by the books' clear churnalistic nature. Being on Google Books does not make a failed
WP:CRYSTAL claim a reliable source for a claim of notability. To your credit, at least this time you didn't also include the book chapter that was co-written by a guy from PowerLedger, and which you claimed then was an independent reliable source for notability -

Analysis of the sources:
Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Significant coverage says, "Deep or significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization." I will show that the sources have provided "deep coverage" of the company.
The chapter written by Yin Cao in book the
Woodhead Publishing book discusses Power Ledger in four paragraphs (388 words in total). It contains critical analysis of Power Ledger. It says "Regulatory pressure and funding will be the main challenges for the future of Power Ledger" and says "Power Ledger has a fatal defect, which is the token it requires, named POWR".
The Australian Financial Review (AFR) has published several critical articles about Power Ledger. The articles have so angered Power Ledger's leadership that the AFR noted in August 2019, "Power Ledger is suing the Financial Review in the West Australian Supreme Court over articles published in December [2018] that raised questions about how the company raised $34 million for its blockchain tokens, and the effectiveness of its electricity-trading system."
A December 2018 AFR article said about Power Ledger, "Articles exaggerated Power Ledger's achievements. The company was often described as operating a retail electricity market, and sounded liked an eBay or Amazon for solar power. In reality, it was building the technology and didn't have a commercial market operating. Twitter was flooded with posts. Some claimed Musk had asked the company for advice. Fake accounts were rewarded with POWR tokens for their promotional work."
Delete Too early for wiki notable. Blockchain companies are in 10000+ and they paid handsomely to some writers who can make good articles in digital channels of notable media. Wiki is not a directory for these companies. Above references are ridiculously posted without even analysing what is even written there, just usual copy-paste job and even wasting time of community to even find the meaningful content on those references. Major media digital channels are driven by several freelance writers which can not be considered as the source of genuine coverage by media. they work on project for paid writing and companies use them to write such articles. how 250-500 words are in-depth coverage of a company? just FYI Writer in the Guardian.

Keep I consider the AFR reliable, given its broad coverage there I would have been surprised if it didn't have wider coverage in the Australian press. I found multiple RS. All of these organisations are known for fact checking and independent journalism.
Delete These block chain companies and routine articles about them are a dime a dozen. All the sources provided in this AfD about the company seem to be extremely trivial or otherwise not usable for notability. For instance a 250 word "article" isn't in-depth coverage and the freelance guest writer in the Guardian article isn't a reliable source. Neither is the Australian Governments website. While an article about them raising initial funds for their cryptocurrency is trivial coverage according to
WP:NCORP and could apply to the beginnings of most cryptocurrencies. People invest in them. That's how they work. Also, according to the consensus in a discussion on RSN, conference papers aren't generally reliably. So, I see nothing notable here, couldn't apply to every other cryptocurrency startup or that passes
WP:NCORP in any fashion. Nothing about any of that is surprising though. --

@
Hako9: That Hindu piece is parroting the same old blockchain hype that caused people to believe it would take over the world:
Another benefit came from tokenised funds that were released upon meeting pre-specified conditions, such as optimising a battery for the highest value activity without any manual handling required, reducing transactional friction and providing a faster settlement process.
What is the advantage here? They make it sound like the blockchain understands what "highest value activity of a battery" is, when it is unclear what that means, and that blockchains cannot do so because they only encode decentralized properties (like PoW) into their consensus rules. In short: no such thing is possible to automatize (the claim of the paragraph). More likely, semi-automated APIs separate of the blockchain are triggering conditions that cause the transaction to happen. How is this any different from the triggering of a contractual clause outside of a blockchain application? How can you trust a source that lists a "benefit", without actually explaining what the benefit is? --

They don't have to be right... and the idea doesn't have to be a good one, a lot of the sources here suggest a controversy about whether they are a good idea particularly the AFR ones. To be clear, there is a lot of hype about blockchain, doesn't however mean that it isn't notable. Some of these Australian outlets are very obviously highly reliable and significant (for instance the several sources in
the ABC, the numerous articles in the
Sydney Morning Herald and
The Australian and the

But that's the thing. What one may define as churnalism is subjective. Unless you have sources which are denied to me and likely everyone else, I assume you can't prove these stories were pre-packed and given as is, to the hindu, ABC, ET, AFR etc. and they failed to have any journalistic oversight. Wishing these sources (The Hindu, ET, AFR, Guardian, ABC are clearly reliable sources) raise their editorial standards and exclude puffery is not an argument for deletion. To me it is very clear. Either raise the notability bar in our notability policies to expressly exclude companies like these and BLPs of instagram models/youtubers who somehow pass notability because they happen to have reliable sources, (which I'd like) or maintain status quo. -

Another Note to closing adminHako9 asks for an explanation that none of the sources are independent and points out how the organizations and journalists have no connection with the company. That's half the argument. The other half is whether the *content* is independent. ORGIND states Independent content, in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject..
The Economic Times reference (dated Aug 16th) is entirely based on
this announcement dated Aug 12th by the company and was reported in other media also (usually a good hint that something is based on an announcement is when multiple agencies report the same "announcement" as news). So this fails ORGIND.
The Hindu reference is based on "a report by the RENeW Nexus project team" and it includes at the very end of the short article a quote from "report co-author and Power Ledger Chairman Dr Jemma Green". Not independent, fails ORGIND.
The TechCrunch article is also entirely based on
this company announcement and was also reported in other publications, most of which acknowledged their article was based on the announcement (unlike the TechCrunch author but hey, who's surprised, its TechCrunch after all?). The original announcement can be found
here on archive.org. Please also note the exact same quote in both articles. This also fails ORGIND.
This ZDNet reference is based on an appearance of the company's executive chairman in fron of the Select Committee on Financial Technology and Regulatory Technology. All of the information relating to Power Ledger is attributable to the company executive. No Independent Content, fails ORGIND. Both Yahoo references are based entirely on information provided by the company. The first even has a headline which states "Power Ledger’s Blockchain P2P Energy Trial ‘Technically Feasible,’ It Says in New Report". This isn't rocket science, clearly it isn't "Independent Content" if the company wrote the report. Fails ORGIND. It's a bit more difficult to spot in the second Yahoo article as you actually have to read the first sentence which contains "Australian blockchain energy company Power Ledger has published the findings of a trial". Not Independent Content. Fails ORGIND.

[19] that HighKing links above is totally different. Maybe a mistake, but atleast I found my own error. Coming to The Hindu's article HighKing says it should be completely disregarded since it contains a quote at the end by Power Ledger Chairman Dr Jemma Green. We can't disregard the whole article just because it contains one quote or even several from its management, in my opinion. This TechCrunch article
[20] and this PR they wrote on medium
[21] is not the same, except the last two paras which are. HighKing says, the ZDNet article
[22] is entirely attributable to the company executive. I don't find this as true. Although, significant portions are quotes by the co executives but it still has some independent content. The Yahoo articles are BS. I concede. I added them knowing they were re-publications of coin desk and coin rivet. But coindesk is considered generally unreliable/to be avoided per
WP:RSP, which I did not know. Overall, I think, after excluding all direct quotations and plagiarism that Indian media is rightly critiqued for, my argument doesn't hold. The journalists like Anshul Joshi from ET should really be ashamed of themselves. -

Keep other than it having seemingly sufficient sources, this will (maybe) be one of these interesting historical events where blockchain would solve everthing, and then eventually it fades into oblivion. If we delete the article, it will never get created again (as the promoters will be all long gone and moved on to their next scam). Let's keep this for a possibility of future historical relevance. It was once worth $500M and now is nearly gone.

Futhermore, you are considering the "market cap" too much. A "market cap" of $500M doesn't mean that there are sufficient buyers for such an amount, it is simply the last executed price times the total amount. There is no Wikipedia guideline saying that a market cap of X means notability. Wikipedia is also not a consumer magazine, saying that something should have an article because "it could eventually warn someone", is misguided and based on the another assumption of Wikipedias role that there is no guideline on. You're assuming consensus for things that there is no established consensus for. --

Much dismissal about this blockchain company are not considering this specific company's attributes, but rather arguing that it should not be included because of the populous nature of blockchain companies. This seems to be rather irrelevent.
Some dismissal in this deletion discussion refers to claimed acts that Power Ledger would perform; it seems now that the article has now been updated to more accurately include actual trials, projects, agreements, and products and services that are actively in use.
@
BayaniMills: Regarding your point 1: We are considering the sources considering the agreed-upon guidelines mentioned in the deletion nomination. What do you imagine when you say "specific company's attributes"? That is so vague, I don't even know what it is supposed to mean. You're hinting that those attributes are so important, but you're not even mentioning what they actually are. Consensus has been established that many cryptocurrency sources are dubious. So it is not controversial that many of these sources are dismissed. Regarding your point 2: The accuracy of the article is not the main concern, the main concern of the nominator is the notability of the subject. That the article previously contained less accurate information about "trails, projects, agreements, products and services," does not mean that the subject is notable now that those inaccuracies have been removed. --

Leaning keep, but there is a stark disconnect between the characterization of this company in this discussion and the article itself.

The company is discussed here as "a failed scam" and it is said that "an amazing fall from grace is interesting and encyclopedic", but these perspectives are barely noticeable in the article. I agree that remarkable failures are as notable as remarkable successes, and would keep this article if this content was clearly included.

Comment I agreed on the original article's deletion nomination, but it has since improved slightly (title change, "Commonwealth of Independent States" section). Yet if you compare the article to
the one about the EU, this one still feels more like a list than an article in its own right. I would prefer to keep it because the CIS is an extant organization that seems to have had at least some coordination in regards to COVID-19. But it would still need more expansion of the section on CIS coordination, so that it becomes more prominent in comparison to the listing of countries, which in turn should be condensed. I found this news here
https://24.kg/english/142427_Russia_to_provide_EAEU_CIS_countries_with_test_systems_to_diagnose_coronavirus_/ that might be an example of an additional source, but I can not verify that the news site is reliable. I suspect Russian language sources might be more plentiful. --

Strong keep but significantly prune - this was raised in May this year and the arguments haven't changed, the nominator needs to ensure they read previous AfDs before trying again. The family is notable and the article is worth keeping, it just needs cleaning up. A significant number of the persons mentioned in this article are notable (e.g. Judah Moss Solomon, Vaiben Louis Solomon, Elias Solomon, Sophia Solomon, Emanuel Solomon, Emanuel Cohen, Vaiben Solomon, Lance Vaiben Solomon and the two Boas brothers). The rest of the article can be pruned, particularly the "unrelated but connected" section.

Comment I find the family interesting not only for the many members who had historical significance in the young colony (and several who are given brief outlines have the potential for interesting articles) but also for the intra-family marriages and the minefield of deceptively similar names, which has proved useful (to this contributor at least) in clearing up several misunderstood relationships.

Comment - CutOffTies, family articles are permissible on Wikipedia, and in this case the family itself is notable.

Comment / Reply to Deus et lex The family articles I've seen are about a family with a common thread of notability for being a political dynasty or running a company, etc. In addition to the common thread, the vast majority, if not all the people in other family articles are notable on their own. Maybe there is a common thread here in the article, but it is not in the lead or even the entries themselves. I see some politicians, an early childhood educator, and there are some blue links. The lead does not even attempt to assert why this family is notable other than stating that individual members achieved notability (which is highly questionable, given how many individual entries do not make a claim of notability). The keep but prune argument fails. The article as it is now has no direction, and the editor(s) are mistaking Wikipedia for ancestry.com --

The result was no consensus. There has been plenty of discussion and it is clear that there is no consensus to delete the page in question. As a procedural point, note that the nominator cast a !vote indicating that they were no longer pressing for deletion and so that can be considered as a withdrawal. Whether the page should be merged or kept separate for improvement is undecided but this issue is best pursued by those interested in editing the article(s) to take the matter forward. The main issue with that is likely to be familiarity with the Korean language, which is likely to be needed to understand the best sources for this topic. Note that the Korean Wikipedia has a separate and longer article and so that should be a starting point for further work.

Timothy :: talk19:42, 12 August 2020 (UTC)reply
Maybe if you'd been here longer you'd have a better knowledge of what is and is not
consensus. Not everything is written down. Not everything is a policy or guideline. That's why we have such policies as
WP:IAR and
WP:BURO (very unpopular with the more rules-bound editors, who like to claim that they don't apply in their particular case, I know, but policies nonetheless). Much has been determined over many AfDs over many years and those of us who've been here and contributed to them for many years just know what is and is not consensus, largely because we've helped frame much of it. To then be told by someone who's been here much less time how to contribute to AfDs (with the suggestion that that person is much more knowledgeable about the workings of Wikipedia than we are) becomes more than faintly patronising. I have stated that it is longstanding consensus that all government services of major countries are notable because that is indeed the case. I don't need to see it written down simply because I have personally been involved in many AfDs where it has been determined. Unlike some editors, I am perfectly comfortable with the use of consensus rather than some set-in-stone "rule". I don't always agree with that consensus, but I am happy to go along with it because I believe in a consensus-based, rather than rule-based, project. Neither do I believe that longstanding consensus changes because a small number of editors who
don't like that consensus (or don't understand that not everything has to be written down to be true) suddenly start contributing to AfDs and
patronising those of us who've been contributing to them for a very long time. --

Reply: I'm sorry you feel patronized, I didn't bother to read your userpage, but longevity does not confer deference. You seem to understand
WP:IAR as the rule and not the exception, which is a recipe for chaos. It also undermines the principle of
!vote - "communal norm that it is "not the vote" that matters, but the reasoning behind the !vote that is important." - by reducing reasoning to a subjective opinion or reference to an unwritten alleged historical consensus or gnostic wisdom. It is impossible to reason or debate such an unwritten claim and risks turning a debate based on evidence into a poll based on opinion. It is also a convenient way to dismiss the arguements of other editors with less time on Wikipedia by simply claiming something exists without evidence. Finally, even if something may have been so in the past, this does not make it automatically correct, nor does it mean it will be considered correct in the future.
I will ask you to consider
WP:AFDFORMAT - "AfDs are a place for rational discussion of whether an article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies. Reasonable editors will often disagree, but valid arguments will be given more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers arguments or evidence that do not explain how the article meets/violates policy, they may only need a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion. But a pattern of groundless opinion, proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive.". Based on this I ask that you engage in constructive discussion on whether the article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies.
I'm far from perfect, it's easy to point out my mistakes and I acknowledge them freely, and I know I'm still learning. But I am good a self-reflection and correction when I become conscious of a fault. Perhaps there is a lesson in that for others. //
Timothy :: talk00:17, 13 August 2020 (UTC)reply
I think once again you misunderstand. I am not in any way suggesting that you should show me deference. Longevity in any field of activity does, however, imply knowledge and experience. I certainly do not use IAR as "the rule and not the exception", as you would know if you read my contributions (I'm not suggesting you should, merely pointing out that fact). But some topics are to me (and many others) clearly notable, whether or not they satisfy some narrow "rule", and IAR merely points out that such "rules" should not be slavishly followed to the detriment of the project. That is why we have such notability guidelines as
WP:POLITICIAN,
WP:MILUNIT,
WP:SOLDIER,
WP:GEOFEAT and
WP:GEOLAND, which may sometimes conflict with
WP:GNG. That is why we have
WP:AFDOUTCOMES. Precedent and consensus, formulated at AfD and elsewhere, is important. And my point was that if you'd been here as long as I have you'd know that. Not agreeing with another editor's opinion is one thing, but essentially telling them they don't know what they're talking about because they expressed it and that they therefore know nothing about Wikipedia and should learn how it works (and find a mentor to teach them!) is entirely another. May I suggest you simply allow other editors to state their opinions at AfD without constantly challenging them and insisting that they adhere to "the rules". --

this, which is a history of a single church in South Carolina (and may not even be about him). The lone reference in the article
does exist, but there is only a passing mention of Phillips in it. As for "What a Meeting in the Air", his best-known tune, there's
this, which doesn't look like enough to me.

And for a francophone writer from Quebec, the lack of an article on the French Wikipedia -- where you'd expect editors to be on the ball about a genuinely notable French-language writer -- isn't an encouraging sign.

Interviews, which represent the subject speaking about herself in the first person, don't count as support for notability — they can be used for supplementary verification of facts after a person has already been shown as notable enough, but because they represent the subject speaking about herself and are thus subject to all the same problems as self-published sources, they don't count as data points toward the question of whether she has enough sources to be considered notable in the first place. We need to see independent sources analyzing her significance as a writer in the third person, not just things she's said about herself, in order to establish her notability as a writer. And by the same token, the mere fact that she coauthored works with her husband isn't an instant notability freebie in and of itself — we require independent sources analyzing the significance of those works to make her notable for them.

KeepWeak keepMerge - While it is always sad to hear someone died rather young, WP is not a memorial site. Because she co-authored many books with her partner
Serge Bouchard who is notable (and won significant awards), I suggest merging them since some of the sources clearly state that they wrote books together. I did a google search and did not find anything on her that was significant.

After more consideration, I am changing my !vote to weak keep from merge. There is no evidence that her contributions to books co-authored with her husband were not equal to his.

Keep. I'm always reluctant to redirect a biography to the person's spouse, as if they were simply a footnote in their partner's career. I think she passes
WP:AUTHOR#3 as the author of a notable body of work, as well as
WP:ANYBIO. While most of the GNews hits are recent obituaries and memorials, there's a decent body of older significant coverage while she was living, e.g.
a radio episode,
reviews of her work, and
literary awards.

Weak merge to
Serge Bouchard or Delete. I think this is really borderline, but I see nothing wrong with merging her article to that of her husbands. Since she co-authored a lot of his books and likely a lot of her notability comes from doing so. Looking in to it, I don't think someone could argue she was just a footnote in his career either, because it was multiple books over a meaningful period of time. It's not like she just proof read one his manuscripts when they were dating or something like that. --

Respectfully, if she's not a footnote in his career and was, in fact, the co-creator of a notable body of work, then she deserves her own page.

She would still have to meet the whole "in-depth" thing though. Which she doesn't. A brief line that says she co-authored some of his books in an article that's not about her isn't enough for it unfortunately. Blame "the media" for not covering her as much as they should have and for giving her husband more coverage. Chalk it up to "systemic bias" (which it probably is) or whatever, but that's not on us. We still need to follow the notability guidelines either way. --

Delete: Having just looked at the sources presented by Pburka, only one even rises to the level of a casual mention; the other two are namedrops. Barring any actual
significant coverage in reliable sources, there's no ground to keep.

Keep I recall
Sue Gardner getting quite animated when the subject of deletionism came up and she expressed outrage and incredulity that an article about a Canadian author should have been deleted. Anyway, this seems to be a blatant case of
WP:IGNORINGATD because the worst we would do is merge to
Serge Bouchard. But merging women into articles about their husbands is frowned upon and, as we have a good picture of the subject to showcase, we should leave this page for development per
WP:IMPERFECT,
WP:NOTPAPER and
WP:PRESERVE.

People aren't exempted from having to have
reliable source coverage to demonstrate the significance and encyclopedia-worthiness of their accomplishments, just because somebody uploaded a photograph of them — and writers aren't handed an automatic notability freebie just because their work exists, if independent third-party coverage analyzing their work in reliable sources doesn't.

Keep I found this coverage of her:
[26], and this
[27], as cited in the article, focuses on her (contrary to comments above, this citation is not an interview with Marie-Christine Lévesque, but a reporter writing about Levesque and quoting her spouse, who is talking about her.) The article fulfils C3 of
WP:AUTHOR for coverage of her work here
[28] and as cited above by pburka. She fulfils C4 of
WP:AUTHOR because she won Le
Prix Victor-Barbeau[29] and also cited by pburka above. I disagree with the merge with her partner. A person doesn't lose notability because their work was co-authored by someone more notable. If she authored these works by herself, she would have enough notability.

Reviewed as part of effort to review the longest wp:notability tagged articles (In this case has been tagged for over 11 years. No GNG suitable coverage of her in the listed references plus I was unable to find any in a search, not even medium length coverage of her. Appears that she has done a lot of corporate legal work, including on some larger and higher profile cases. North8000 (

Keep. I just cleaned up the refs and tbh I'm surprised it remained tagged this long. I think the article speaks for itself: she's apparently a go-to lawyer in a bunch of high-profile cases, often dealing with digital media and copyright. The article in
svwiki is longer but appears worse-sourced.

Keep Before I nominated, I was thinking that if there was a SNG she would meet it. But I would have no guideline basis for removing the tag as I think that then and now it fails wp:GNG. I think with the addition of material by AleatoryPonderings it reinforces my "if there was a SNG" thought. So I'm saying "keep" but am not withdrawing. Without IMO a guideline basis for keep, I think that a real AFD result is needed. Sincerely, North8000 (

Fails NCORP and GNG. The sources are your routine funding announcements, acquisition news and non-independent press release type of articles. The article reeks of COI editing with its promotional and mostly unsourced blocks of text.

Interviews, funding news, acquisition deals and product launch announcements, etc. are not sufficient to establish notability according to
WP:CORPDEPTH. The claim about being the "world's biggest sports radio" was made by the company MD and needs an independent source for verification.
