Apparently, the author call "pseudotheorem" a theorem that suggests a conjecture that can be disproved by further computation, and asserts that such a theorem is not really a theorem. This is definitely silly,

original research. Google Scholar has about 20 hits for "pseudotheorem" but they do not appear to be using the word in a consistent way, or in the way described in this article. (The only one of these hits with any heft in metamathematics is Harvey Friedman's "The incompleteness phenomena" which definitely uses it in a different sense, near the end of section 6, for a statement that is false but can be made true with additional qualifiers.) The article is completely lacking in published reliable sources (the MathWorld link is only of dubious reliability, but more importantly, never uses the term pseudotheorem). —

A BLP on an entrepreneur that does not pass

Keep:
Qaynarinfo.az is quite a reliable source, yes I agree he's not mentioned much in google news, however he's a well-known tech journalist in Azerbaijan, and it would be better to keep this page active so that international tech companies and other entrepreneurs could search for their peers in Azerbaijan. Also, the community of Azerbaijani wikipedia deleted his page using their power of abuse. The user below claims about strong delete is one of them. I would suggest to protect this page until this conflict between admins and the person has been solved.
Strong delete: The article obviously doesn't meet simple notability criterias. A renown journalist should at least have a couple reliable links/references to cite. The links provided in the article don't thoroughly cover information about the person, just mention their name. About
Qaynarinfo.az, it's obvious the website cannot be a primary reference (full of ads, lack of neutrality), as there're articles about literally thousands of people there. On a side note, i think, we also have to take into consideration the fact that the article has been repeatedly deleted from
Azerbaijani Wikipedia after
a simple nomination for deletion, and the article namespace is currently protected. It may be off-topic, but it caused a drama on social media, when the person in the article started to insult Azerbaijani Wikipedia and its community, which ultimately led to the creation of this article on English Wikipedia just to prove that the person a notable journalist.

Jimmy Kimmelreading a mean tweet (a popular feature has has on his show), and she was interviewed in

Keep but rename I think there's something here. What's provided here is basically "policy relating to the climate-energy nexus", equivalent to the concept of
water-energy nexus (i.e. the interaction of energy generation and water management) - and indeed three of the references given here use the term "climate-energy nexus" in the title. The list of links is not random in that regard, but topical: agencies and programmes that specialize in this area. Lacking in text, but this is not an unreasonable start for an article on the topic. I'd suggest renaming however, maybe to
climate-energy nexus or
climate and energy policy. --Elmidae (

Speedy Keep The nomination's complaint that this is "random" is absurd. People can and do write
entire books about this
broad topic. If more prose is wanted then this is done by writing it, not by deleting what we already have. The current, tentative approach to the topic is explicitly commended by
policy: "Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles. Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome. For instance, one person may start an article with an overview of a subject or a few random facts. Another may help standardize the article's formatting, or have additional facts and figures or a graphic to add. Yet another may bring better balance to the views represented in the article, and perform fact-checking and sourcing to existing content. At any point during this process, the article may become disorganized or contain substandard writing."

Unclear what exactly "we already have", seeing that we do already have several other better developed and connected articles that already cover energy policy and energy's impact on climate and deserve our attention more than a new page with no useful content. They are indeed arbitrary, being unrelated agencies, journals, laws, and organizations which have just these two words in their name in common, though there are many other related groups with the same focus areas without the same keywords.
Reywas92Talk02:10, 18 December 2020 (UTC)reply
Keep I concede that the title may be a little laconic and could also be read as "climate change and energy (over)use" the fact remains undisputed that there is a strong correlation and causal relationship between these and the other mentioned factors. Some authors also include various other types of resources like water into a visualization of the nexus. Not sure whether it would make sense to merge all in any way related articles into a single humongous one. It is quite clear that many governments have realized the particularly strong relationship between the two particular factors and set up initiatives and institutions to study their cross-influence (see list in article). What is good enough on this level should certainly be good enough for WP. --

Keep - while the article is weak as it stands, the topic is essential to understand the predictions made in climate science and the mitigations proposed. The

I'm not strongly opposed to TNT, though: I don't see much of value in what we have at present. —

Keep This is a stub about a legal concept not a dictionary definition. See
WP:DICDEF which explains that "One perennial source of confusion is that a stub encyclopedia article looks very much like a dictionary entry, and stubs are often poorly written; another is that some paper dictionaries, such as "pocket" dictionaries, lead users to the mistaken belief that dictionary entries are short, and that short article and dictionary entry are therefore equivalent."
The page should not be merged with
natural person because that is a different legal concept. Merger would tend to cause confusion and invite improper
synthesis.
It happens! I think it's tricky because while this is a discrete legal concept, the legal concept itself is pretty much a dicdef. That is, it's not the sort of term of art that means something very different from the usual meaning of its words (cf.
Legal person). So I'm sympathetic to the idea that the article isn't very valuable right now, but I think its value will become apparent with expansion. --

The sourcing is not enough to show notability. To begin with, Alter Road is actually not the city boundary, so Sec. Cisneros' off hand comment about it in a much larger article is not defining, and that it was quoted by a newspaper in the city does not tell us much. I know, Alter Road is more in people's heads then in reality, but one quote from a cabinet secretary and mention on one page in 1 book is not enough to show this. I live on Alter Road, north of Mack so not actually at the boundary of the city. I actually first discovered this article one summer as I walked from my house to the park to help with food distribution there during the summer. None of that walk was anywhere near Grosse Pointe. Why the page should be deleted. I do not think we can justify having an article based on the sources that exist, especially since they do not consider the whole part of the road. There is almost an intersection between Alter Road and I-94, but that is even further north [technically north-west, the road runs at an angle as a legacy of the French Ribbon farms being drawn at a 90 degree angle to the Detroit River], but by then it has turned into
Outer Drive. Hmm, the fact that we do not have an article on Outer Drive tells me that a street the size of mine clearly does not deserve an article. This is not
8 Mile, and not just because noone has made the film
Alter Road (film) yet. 8 Mile is a real boundary, Alter Road is never actually the boundary, it is just to the west along the property line, so if we want an article on the bounary, we need
Alley Way Between Alter Road and Maryland Street. However
Mack Avenue (the article there is a redirect to a Grosse Pointe Farms record label that does not explain the meaning of the name) is a longer boundary between Detroit and Grosse Pointe. I see no reason to have this article. If we want to cover the boundaries of Detroit than have the article
Boundaries of Detroit and maybe a sub-article
Boundaries of Detroit in the popular imagination. Start the later by examing how some have written about Mayor
Mike Duggan moving back from across 8 Mile, even though he actually lived in Livonia which is on the same side of 8 Mile as Detroit. To some "crossing 8 Mile" means leaving the city. I know original research is not welcome, but as a Detroit resident I know people reguarlay speak of 8 Mile in a symbolic way [to be fair I grew up in Sterling Heights, where to go into Detroit other than crossing 8 Mile, you had to try hard, although on occasion I did go in by crossing the imaginary line just north of Moross, not one the occasions I biked in Detroit, rarely by bus and rarely by car, at least until I started dating my Alter Road resident wife, 8 Mile is the northern boundary of Detroit for 17.5 miles, and I grew up near the intersection of Dequindre and 15 Mile, the fastest way into Detroit was by I-75. When I biked it was by Dequindre, by bus most often a sort of Dequindre/Woodward hybrid. Even when I worked in the northwest of Detroit and drove in on the Southfield Freeway, I was still entering Detroit across 8 Mile. OK, so I digressed a lot, but I still do not see the level of sourcing that would justify this article.

This is true. It is not even one of the prime roads in Detroit. Chalmers Road about half a mile further west is either as major or even more major at road. It was never designated as a state route, unlike 8 Mile, and the southern third of so of Alter is a local residential street.

Comment My reference to 8 Mile above should have linked to the article
M-102 (Michigan highway). I can assure you that no one who lives in Metro Detroit ever refers to it that way, and I could cite a huge number of scholarly works and newspaper articles that make reference to it as something more than just a method of moving around and more as the divide in Metro Detroit, and they will all call it 8 Mile or 8 Mile Road. The same is true when people refer to it as a real way to move around or a real address, we call it 8 Mile. The school I taught at on 8 Mile people always refered to as such, and my friend who lived at the conner of 8 Mile and Gratioit would describe her address as such, even when it meant that people reacted in odd ways to her living in a place that at one point people thought of as the ultimate in crime. Some maps will also call it Base Line Road. I really think the article should be renamed.

I strongly DISagree with any effort to delete this article from Wikipedia. Alter Road (between Mack Avenue and the Detroit River), IS--repeat IS--a municipal boundary between the City of Detroit and the City of Grosse Pointe Park and the thoroughfare been used as dividing line between ethnicity and economic status for several decades even by elected and high-ranking appointed government officials. Alter Road has caught the attention of the entertainment industry with the NBC television network briefly toying with the notion of making a series about the thoroughfare and with the rock band "Alter Bridge" naming itself in reference to the road. Contrary to the remarks of John Pack Lambert, there IS a Wikipedia article about Outer Drive, just as there IS a Wikipedia about Detroit's Grand Boulevard. -- Gregory Watson
No, Alter Road is not the municipal boundary. The municipal boundary is half-way between Alter Road and Wayburn Street.
Outer Drive does have an article, but that is sourced to one hyper local, not even mainstream publication, and then google maps links, it is not the level of sourcing that shows notability. Being a municipal boundary is not a sign a road is notable. We do not have articles on Mack Avenue, which is actually a municipal boundary of Detroit, nor 5 Points Road, another real municipal boundary, nor Tireman Road, another real municiapl boundary. Nor
Kelly Road, which is the boundary for the entirety of the west side of Harper Woods against Detroit. Detroit has something like 18 points on its municipal boundary. Even 8 Mile Road mainly merits an article because it is a truly major throughfare, not just because it is a boundary line. 8 Mile Road is a state route, it is normally 8 lanes wide with a grassy median, and it has fully built interchanges at at least 3 points complete with ramps. Alter is 3 miles long, much of it a local residential street, always overshadowed by Chalmers, and is preempted by Outer Driver before it interests with i-94.

Delete. A person who holds a senior role with his country's broadcast regulator (as in the FCC, the CRTC or OFCOM) could certainly get in the door if he could be shown to clear
WP:GNG on his sourceability — but it's not an automatic notability freebie that guarantees him an article just because he exists, and neither is anything else stated in the article. And as for the sourcing, two of the three footnotes are to content on the self-published website of his own employer, which is not notability-building sourcing — and even the one source that is a real news article in real media is not about him, but merely quotes him giving soundbite on a subject other than himself, so it isn't enough to singlehandedly get him over GNG all by itself if it's the only real media source in play.

In my opinion, I think that it's worth having a second discussion about this one. Since that previous AfD (where the main contributor basically admitted that they use their own eyes to construct this list since there aren't reliable sources compiling the info, in my view, a blatant violation of
WP:OR and
WP:GNG), there has been a growing consensus that these types of lists do need to demonstrate
WP:SIGCOV and do need to pass
WP:LISTN, some examples are below but this is not exhaustive:
And I could have cited many, many more. As with those above, this fails
WP:LISTN for multiple reasons:
Firstly, the list has no navigational purpose as the overwhelming majority of the buildings featured are not notable enough for their own Wikipedia article (those that are notable are not tall and are not known for their height).
Secondly, this topic does not have
WP:SIGCOV in
WP:RS. Database listings in Skyscraper Center, Skyscraperpage and Emporis do not constitute significant coverage.
I see no evidence that the topic 'List of tallest buildings in Wollongong' is covered as a group by reliable secondary sources but I am happy to be proved wrong here.
No significant high-rise buildings under construction or even planned currently so little chance of future notability; no point in sending to draft.
The whole article is currently a violation of
WP:NOTMIRROR in that it's just a copy and paste from Emporis.
The city is not the largest in NSW nor is it the capital.
I really do not believe that a building being taller than 35m makes it notable. We do not set the bar so low in Brisbane so why are we doing it here?
Spiderone11:48, 17 December 2020 (UTC)reply
I can't make a great argument for keeping this since I can't find any list that's not the Emporis directory, but the tallest buildings in Wollongong have been regularly discussed in local sources, just not as a group. I do want to point out the following fallacies though: lists do not need to be navigational; a city's size or administrative status has no bearing on whether they're eligible for one of these lists; and different cities have different skylines, and Wollongong clearly has a skyline, albeit a small one, so 35m shouldn't be any sort of hard cutoff for an article. I also don't think
WP:NOTMIRROR applies here - the spirit of NOTMIRROR is to prevent us from hosting indiscriminate copy-pastes of public domain material. What's important is the available sourcing.
SportingFlyerT·C14:15, 17 December 2020 (UTC)reply
In my opinion, for the topic of tall buildings in Wollongong to be notable, there would need to be at least some sources commenting on the development of skyline or its influence on other cities. For example, in the recent Rockford AfD, it was questioned why Chicago warranted such an article but Rockford didn't, to which I responded with Chicago is home to
St. Regis Chicago, the tallest structure in the world designed by a woman. This alone gets coverage, for example
here and
here and
here. Chicago was and still is hugely influential in the world of skyscraper development. It is the subject of numerous books, for example
this,
this and
this. Also,
this article explains how even the great
Burj Khalifa and the
Jeddah Tower can be linked to Chicago. If a similar amount of importance and notability can be found for Rockford then I'll happily change my stance to keep. Even if a lot of these heights could be sourced, there would still be a question mark over the overall notability of the actual topic itself. The reason I brought up navigational purpose is because these lists can sometimes be reappropriated as, say, 'List of notable buildings in Wollongong' but I don't think that there are enough notable buildings in this list to make that move. Technically, none of these buildings are tall as, according to most definitions, skyscrapers must be at least 150m tall, so Wollongong has no skyscrapers. Compare that to Sydney, with 40 skyscrapers and 18 more under construction and the contrast is clear.
Spiderone15:08, 17 December 2020 (UTC)reply
Delete: Fails
WP:LISTN does not have
WP:SIGCOV in
WP:RS discussing this as a group. The city is not notable for tall buildings and the buildings on the list are not notably tall. The list does not meet
WP:CLN, there is nothing there that can assist in navigation. //

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing
Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed
Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement.
WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. PROD was removed by

User:Melcous who tagged this article for OR (one of the references is described as 'email'),
User:Kj cheetham who tagged this for 'example farm', and
User:John B123 who asked for better refs. I will note that there the subject is covered in
American Men & Women of Science. I have checked the 2005 edition and verified this fact, but I am not impressed by this source. The entries are just CV excerpts. Here is the entire excerpt for the subject, minus their mailing address and email (through I guess those are part of the public record anyway): "RAJNAK, KATHERYN EDMONDS, ATOMIC PHYSICS. Personal Data: b Kalamazoo, Mich, April 30, 1937; m 1961, Stanley. Education: Kalamazoo Col, BA, 1959; Univ Calif, Berkeley, PhD(chem), 1963.

Research Statement & Publications: Theory and analysis of lanthanide and actinide spectra. M". I am not seeing anything that seems to meet NPROF, unless the inclusion in the cited reference work is enough. For the record, the reason I don't think this reference work is sufficient is that I'd expect at least few full sentences, with a qualifier that the subject has done something significant, and said entry to be written by another scholar. This is the standard I am used to with other reference works like the
Polish Biographical Dictionary. To repeat myself, I see no evidence that American Men & Women of Science is doing anything except reprinting CV excerpts, and as such I don't think inclusion in this work means that the subject meets NACADEMIC #1 or 2 (a quick glance at some other entries in this book suggests that one doesn't even have to hold a title of professor to be included in this work).

American Men and Women of Science is a perfectly decent reference. In addition to that, the citability data is highly impressive. As the publication list indicates, the subject was publishing her papers as "K. Rajnak".
A GScholar search for "K. Rajnak" produces top hits of 2765, 1182, and 1205, for journal papers published in 1968, 1968 and 1989 accordingly, before the internet age, which is quite remarkable, especially given the theoretical nature of her field of study. Passes

American Men and Women of Science used an old-fashioned compressed styled of summarizing a biographical entry that was completely common for various biographical dictionaries and almanachs earlier and is still not that uncommon today. What matters is not the style of the entry but the reputation of the source.
American Men and Women of Science is not a vanity press but a legitimate well-established publication with wide holdings. Here is a sample published review of them from 1977
[12]. Regarding co-authors, in theoretical fields like mathematics and theoretical physics, joint papers usually don't have the "first author", the authors are typically listed alphabetically and the credit is not subdivided. It is extremely rare for a journal article in those fields to get 1000+ citations; that usually only happens with books. Here we have three such articles, all from pre-internet era. That alone would have been quite enough for me in terms of
WP:PROF#C1 even if the
American Men and Women of Science reference didn't exist.

Keep. Several very highly cited papers in medium citation field is the kind of impact that we're looking for with
WP:NPROF C1. I also think that
American Men and Women of Science is probably the kind of encyclopedia entry that
WP:ANYBIO refers to (per the Wikipedia article on that publication); additionally, Kalamazoo College thinks she's notable enough that the library has a collection of materials related to her.
[13] While she didn't hold an especially fancy academic position, it appears plausible that she fell into the systemic problems faced by many midcentury female academic. (For example, colleges at this time often had nepotism rules preventing hiring both of a married couple as professors.)

Also given that the person has died, and has a biographical entry in an independent book, this is ahead of most academics here in Wikipedia.

Keep. The high citations are enough to meet WP:PROF, with one 1968 paper on 2765 GS citations (afaik, extremely uncommon in an era when there were far fewer journals than there are now and much less citation bulking), two other papers >1000 and a total of 7 >100. Inclusion in a national biographical dictionary also meets WP:ANYBIO; echoing those above who state this compressed presentation was entirely normal in paper biographical dictionaries. Online searches should never be used as a basis for determining notability for people who retired before the internet era. ETA: In case anyone is worried about the implied original research, the e-mail source in question relates to an entirely trivial point not directly related to the subject.

This compilation album lacks significant coverage in multiple independent
reliable sources to meet
notability, nor does it meet any of the criteria at
WP:NALBUM. The only thing approaching coverage is the the All Music review, but that is a boiler plate review. The first half of the review is about the series of compilations and the same text appears in every review of an album in this series. I considered a redirect to
The Mamas & the Papas discography, but the discography makes no mention of this album and only includes compilations that have charted.

Comment - Redirecting boldly and adding the album to the discography could be done, but it is not at all clear that this should be decided here at AFD. I would have redirected myself if the discography listed this album. As of the writing of this comment, it still doesn't so a redirect would not be useful. As for boldly adding the album the discography, the editors of the article have made a deliberate editorial decision to list only the charting compilations, and changing such a decision should happen at the article and not at an AFD just because somebody created an article for a non-notable, non-charting compilation album. If it is later decided to include all the compilations, a redirect can very easily be created. --

Delete - I respect the decision by the folks at the Mamas & Papas discography article to only list compilations that charted, because they are the type of band that suffers from management shenanigans that in turn unleash dozens of pointless and repetitive compilations. So don't redirect there. Meanwhile, the "20th Century Masters" series was itself a flood of repetitive compilations, and most came and went with little interest from the media and public. This one for Mamas & Papas got the boilerplate "review" at AllMusic, which is more a matter of completeness than reporting. Nobody else noticed either. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

This article was created by an author who engaged in a massive campaign of article creation based on data from GNIS and/or Durham. As has been discussed many times in many other AFDs, per
WP:GNIS, the GNIS database is not a reliable source for the existence of a community (many of the locations labelled "populated place" on the GNIS database are not, and never have been, populated places). Durham probably is more reliable, but the author has repeatedly mischaracterised how Durham actually describes places (Durham refers to a "locality", a term which, as used by Durham, is not necessarily an inhabited or formerly inhabited place, but the author of this article has assumed this meant a populated place).
In this particular article the census data for the census block in which Sonora Junction is located is additionally cited, but census tracts are not automatically notable per
WP:GEOLAND, and this reference only describes the census block which it calls
"Sonora Junction Area". Sonora Junction itself appears to be just a road or railway junction.
This article fails
WP:GEOLAND no. 1 because it is not a legally recognised community (e.g., it has not been incorporated), a listing on GNIS does not constitute legal recognition as GNIS lists many non-legally-recognised geographical features (e.g., mountains, churches, mills etc.). GNIS is simply there to standardise names, not confer recognition. It fails
WP:GEOLAND no. 2 as it is not clear whether it is actually an inhabited community and even if it is there is no evidence that it passes
WP:GNG. Searches on Newspapers.com and similar sources turn up nothing but bare mentions with no
WP:SIGCOV of the topic. Notably many of sources refer to "The Sonora Junction" (i.e., to a road/rail junction) and are reports on road works or are directions for driving.

Hi
SportingFlyer. Per
WP:GEOLAND the point about incorporation is legal recognition. Even if inhabited, Sonora Junction is not legally recognised and thus is not automatically notable under
WP:GEOLAND - instead it has to pass
WP:GNG. Did you find any evidence at Newspapers.com that it would pass
WP:GNG? I could not, all I could see were bare mentions, not
WP:SIGCOV.

I don't agree with this interpretation. The US is weird that you can have incorporated and unincorporated communities, but an unincorporated community in the US may be equal to a very small hamlet in some other country. "Not legal recognition" really means buildings and neighbourhoods in my mind. I found a lot of evidence people have lived here like
[18], and the stubby article is still more than "this was a place" such as
this award of a contract to build a building.
SportingFlyerT·C16:35, 9 December 2020 (UTC)reply
To be clear the two mentions you've linked are:
1. "The Browns live in Sonora Junction 110 miles north of Bishop" (the subject of the story is the death of a baby at Northern Inyo Hospital, which is in
Bishop, California)
2. "F M Santa of Bishop was awarded the contract for a workmen's cottage at Sonora Junction station on his bid of $2100".
Nothing further is said about Sonora Junction in either of those pieces. The standard for
Sigcov is that it "addresses the topic directly and in detail" - neither source does that. Neither demonstrates legal recognition of Sonora Junction either. The second seems to heavily imply that Sonora Junction is just a railway junction/station. If Sonora Junction is legally recognised, what is it legally recognised as, and what evidence of this exists?

Except there's no railroad within at least a few dozen if not a few hundred kilometres.
WP:GEOLAND has probably the lowest standards for notability of any SNG on the site and is an alternative to GNG - was it a town? Was it populated? Would we expect to have an article on it? Again, the non-legal bit is subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, informal regions of a state, unofficial neighborhoods and this isn't that - it's a place where people used to live that's still referenced on maps by newspapers like the Los Angeles Times, unlike dozens of the other terrible GNIS stubs that we're picking through, which is all that
WP:GEOLAND requires. I don't think we're going to agree on this, so let's let the AfD play out?
SportingFlyerT·C17:52, 9 December 2020 (UTC)reply
"Except there's no railroad within at least a few dozen if not a few hundred kilometres." - the article you've cited to defend your position above explicitly describes a "station" at Sonora Junction - I suppose this might be a station of some other kind than a railway station (farm station?) but in any event, it is not how you describe a community.
WP:GEOLAND's lowered standard is only for legally recognised populated places - where is the evidence that this is a legally recognised place? The "subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, informal regions of a state, unofficial neighborhoods" part of GEOLAND are explicitly just examples and are a non-exhaustive list, and Sonora Junction could simply be a subdivision, housing development, informal region, or unofficial neighbourhood (or even just a junction). The burden of proof is on those claiming this is a GEOLAND pass to show evidence that it meets the standard.

PS - just to address this point: buildings("including private residences and commercial developments") don't fall under

This is instructive and describes several people who live in Sonora Junction, including people living at the "highway camp" there.
This describes houses at the site. Aerials from 1980 show a row of houses along the highway - by 2005, those houses have been demolished. The station is probably the stagecoach station mentioned by Durham in the article. Also mentioned at the federal register as recently as 2013
"Sonora+Junction,+California". I am not saying this is a building - it was at one point a populated place, reflected in a gazetteer and by numerous newspaper articles. SIGCOV isn't required, and the "legally recognised" doesn't exclude unincorporated communities.
SportingFlyerT·C19:38, 9 December 2020 (UTC)reply
Taking those mentions one at a time:
"MOVE TO SONORA Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Jordan have moved to Sonora Junction where he is employed by the state highway department at the maintenance station there"" - so it's just a highway maintenance station?
"Mr. and Mrs. Lee Harvey of Sonora Junction, who recently celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, purchased a five hundred dollar bond in the fourth war drive for Mono county, instead of taking their trip to San Francisco. Mrs. Walter Mathias gave a luncheon at her home at Sonora Junction Tuesday of last week. Guests were Mesdames Nellie Har-,vey, Hazel Gould, Anna Sonnesyn "and also Lillian Deyo.". None of this is evidence of legal recognition. None of this even describes what Sonora Junction is.
"The Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center is located on lands in Mono County near Sonora Junction. Again, this doesn't describe what Sonora Junction actually is.
Taken at face value your argument means that
WP:GEOLAND would confer an automatic presumption of notability on any location, anywhere, that had ever anyone live there, ever, regardless of whether any detail exists in any source that would allow an article to be written. The entire reason legal recognition is a requirement is to avoid this - hence unincorporated communities (i.e., ones that have no legal recognition) are excluded.
I think it's also useful to consider how unincorporated communities are described in
our article about them, particularly it describes them as neighbourhoods (i.e., exactly the language used in
WP:GEOLAND to describe places without legal recognition).

You're mis-representing my argument. Clearly, not every place where anyone has ever lived is worthy for an article - we've seen that with numerous deleted California place names during cleanup. But being incorporated isn't the requirement for
WP:GEOLAND, and this isn't one of those places that were nothing then and are nothing now - it's a stub article we can write a blurb about. And while it doesn't appear currently populated, but it's a place someone
mightreasonably"sonora+junction"+california expect to find on the site.

No, "unincorporated" specifically means it's a locality that's not governed by a municipal charter. The majority of populated places in California are unincorporated! I'm not going to agree with you here - I firmly believe this is a place which needs to be included in the encyclopaedia per
Wikipedia:Gazetteer, and you're not going to change my mind by trying to legal this into a different definition. This isn't one of those miscategorised GNIS stubs. Let's please agree to leave it.

leaning delete The problem I'm having is this: it's taking way too much interpretation to deal with this. The topos I'm looking at only go back into the 1950s, but they show all of the buildings next to a label reading "maint. sta.". That depot is still there, and at least one of the buildings from that photo is still there. Meanwhile around the corner to the south we have a label reading "Hardy Station", and while the topos go back and forth about it, the aerials all show the same single building that's still there. But since the GNIS entry calls it a "locale", it didn't get a WP article. The name suggests it's actually the "stage station" mentioned in the article, but there is of course no way to tell.

There's not much there, but I'm leaning keep since it's clearly a current recognised spot on the map by both the federal government and newspapers around California, and it was once clearly populated. We don't need to call it a community. I'll work on adding a couple more citations.
SportingFlyerT·C09:35, 10 December 2020 (UTC)reply
Delete per
WP:V, if we want to have an article which starts "Sonora Junction was a community in Mono County, eastern California", then we need a source which supports that. The GNIS is cited but this has been shown to be wrong in numerous cases so it's not reliable. There don't seem to be any other sources out there which can support this statement. We can't infer the existence of a community from passing mentions showing that somebody lived there - that would be
original research, and somebody living there doesn't make a community. I know the notability standards for places are low, but they aren't so low that we can ignore basic policy. In any case
WP:GEOLAND only grants near-automatic notability to legally recognised populated places, and I don't see any evidence that this is or was legally recognised. If it hasn't ever been legally recognised then it has to pass the
WP:GNG, and the very brief mentions of it don't come at all close to doing this. Hut 8.509:20, 10 December 2020 (UTC)reply
Delete. No
post office. Historic topos and this
1908 pub indicate that Hardy Station was at this location. The 1908 pub says "to Junction, formerly called Hardy Station". The topos show Hardy Station and Sonora Junction as being two slightly different locations. Searching newspapers.com for "Sonora Junction" finds
[19], which has trivial mentions of people living at the Sonora Junction highway camp. An
obit states that people lived at Sonora Junction. Newspapers.com offered some other hits, like the $500 bond and a number of mentions of the locale that did not state that there was a community at that location. Searching newspapers.com for Hardy Station found two trivial hits and another
trivial hit that stated "Junction house, known as Hardy Station in the old days". JSTOR had 13 hits for "Sonora Junction", including a fascinating article about Fremont's cannon, but none of the articles stated that there was a community at Sonora Junction. JSTOR had 6 hits for "Hardy Station", none of which seemed to apply to this location. I found no evidence of Sonora Junction nor Hardy Station being legally recognized, so #1 of
WP:GEOLAND is not met. I found scanty coverage of a community at this location, none of which is notable. I agree that people lived here, there is just no non-trivial independent coverage of Sonora Junction that indicates that it is notable. Thus, #2 of
WP:GEOLAND is not met.

Comment - @
Concertmusic - there is no Hungarian articles about this audiobook or Mr. Varga. Also, I am not sure if this audiobook qualify for a musical, but certainly released as an audiobook/album per its website. I still do not see how it meets notability criteria of
Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Recordings:
1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble who created it.
- This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries except for the following:
- Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about the recording, and all advertising that mentions the recording, including manufacturers' advertising.
- Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar), in most cases.
2. The single or album has appeared on any country's national music chart.
3. The recording has been certified gold or higher in at least one country.
4. The recording has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.
5. The recording was performed in a medium that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read the policy and notability guideline on subjects notable only for one event, for further clarifications).
6. The recording was in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
7. The recording has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network.

Topos don't really show anything resembling a community at all here, but newspapers.com clarifies the situation: this appears to have been some sort of resort/marina. (FWIW, Rennick's index calls it a locale, but doesn't expound on it). Doesn't seem to be in his published book or his Grayson County directory. But for the stuff that actually mentions it:
[22] calls it a resort and marina.
calls it a "recreational site". [https://www.newspapers.com/image/661249329/?terms=Moutardier&match=1 references Moutarider as a boat ramp.
[23] calls it "Nolin's largest campground". This isn't and wasn't a community, so
WP:GEOLAND isn't met. The coverage doesn't rise to meet
WP:GNG, either. (a lot of the mentions are in advertisements).

leaning delete In fact the newspaper hits are misses, as it were: when the river was dammed, eventually a rec area and boat ramp were built on its shores, quite a distance from the original Moutardier. That spot shows a great deal of change over the years on the aerials, so that almost all of the original buildings disappear, replaced by new houses, a tackle shop, and some other businesses on different spots. My guess is that Moutardier refers to the whole locale rather than a particular settlement, if it is thought of at all, but I can't show that. It looks on the aerials that the original place was maybe a couple of now defunct farms. I'm still fairly dubious about the presence of a notable settlement, but I'm not quite sure about it.

Merge/redirect to
Nolin River Lake, to the extent that there's much of anything to merge. There's little enough out there on the original site that we can't really say what it is, and it seems like the modern Moutardier is more of a recreation area on the lake than a proper community. It's worth noting in the lake's article, but unless someone finds a lot more information on it I'm not sure it merits its own article.

I can find no sources to support a claim to notability under
WP:GNG or
WP:JOURNALIST. A search of the main newspapers of record in Ireland,
the Irish Times and
Irish Independent stable of regionals, return just one and two pieces of coverage respectively. The
singular Irish Times result is a passing mention. The two Irish Independent pieces are
shortinterview pieces which are less than expansive and not independent of the subject. Even if they were, two such pieces would not seem to constitute significant coverage. The three credits listed in IMDB do not indicate the "significant roles in multiple notable films[..] productions" proposed by
WP:ENTERTAINER. Not seeing how any applicable notability criteria is met.

American record label. The only notable act on the label is All Time Low, the rest of them does not even have their own articles. Lady Radiator is already on Afd so that isn't notable. And the sourcing is horrible. Actually, there's no sourcing in the article, just external links which do not contribute to notability. All I found during a Google search were the site of the label, the Wiki article and its mirrors, databases like discogs, genius and spirit of rock, lots and lots of trivial mentions, and equally trivial and promotional news about them signing a band. But no reliable sources ever written about their history, activity or anything that would indicate notability. In my opinion, this label is not notable (aside from the fact that All Time Low are signed to them), but prove me wrong.

Weak Delete - Actually, I did find one source which looks reliable,
[24]. But that is the only one. In general, record labels are notable for what they release, but one notable band, and one barely notable band, doesn't exceed my threshold of "roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable." Therefore this fails
WP:GNG, unless additional sources can be found, and
WP:NMUSIC#5.

Comment This label's profile was raised significantly by the immense success of
All Time Low, which became one of the best-selling bands of its genre after it moved on to other labels. I think there may be some more substantial pieces out there focusing on the label's other output in the wake of All Time Low's move to the mainstream, but I'm afraid I don't have them on hand. At the very least, there should be no prejudice to re-creation in the event that this discussion closes to delete.

All content is backed up by several reliable third-party sources, intellectually independent of each other: La Información, Cinco Días,
Expansión, El Español,
El Periódico and
RTVE (with the possible exception if we want to be picky of #4, published by a third-party independent source (El Español) but a CV nonetheless, although the content backed up by that source can be verified by the rest of sources, it's just the former provides chronology. Thus "secondary" sources for Wikipedia purposes, establishing a case for
WP:BASIC as in "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject". As for responsibilities, neither an executive role at the governing body of a major political party (Secretary of Economy) nor being appointed member to the Cabinet Office of the head of government of a country are indeed included in
WP:NPOL, but then again, the article complies to WP:BASIC. Complying to WP:BASIC and not complying to WP:NPOL seems to be rather routine in Wikipedia at least for articles of US policy wonks (either in "national party committees" or "cabinet offices"). Care to inform why is it "promotional"?--Asqueladd (

The rule is not that people are exempted from
WP:NPOL just because they can show a handful of sources — especially since some of the article's seven footnotes just glancingly namecheck his existence in passing, and aren't substantively about him. You need a lot more sources than this to actually get him a
WP:GNG-based exemption from having to hold an NPOL-passing role.

Keep because that claim doesn't seem right either. The other year 2013 articles seem, in relation to New Zealand, pretty much tables of results. The article here has prose content that is somewhat (though inadequately) referenced in "Background" and "Build up" as well as in parts of other sections. Whether these articles should be merged together in some way I don't know (I have no interest in the subject). However, that would likely involve keeping parts of the present article and not deleting it. Any plans for reorganisation of all this material should take place not at AFD but at an appropriate discussion forum.

Keep - Per
Bearian's sentiments, reliable sources have now been added and I have changed my !vote.
Keep My vote is for keeping the page, for being notable. This is very discouraging. I worked hard on this article, but I understand this is part of the process. This morning I added several more citations to Smith's works, including
WP:BASIC multiple reviews of his articles by the National Catholic Register, Catholicism.org, the Journal of the St. Benedict Center in New Hampshire, and the New Evangelists Monthly journal, as well as citations to his lectures and courses through the Diocese of Baton Rouge. These citations were in addition to the links I added to his radio and podcast interviews. I had also added citations of his works and legal career by multiple newspapers, the Pointe Coupee Banner and Catholic Commentator. Smith has written over ten books of fiction and non-fiction. He has written more books than what I found, but I think I added the most notable titles. There were already other author sites pointing to Smith due to at least one collaboration with author Brian J. Costello - the addition of this page is a logical extension. What more can I add? I'm definitely invested in seeing this page survive now. Thanks!

No, policy begins with
WP:BASIC.
WP:BASIC provides a presumption of notability: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." Smith meets this criteria, so he is presumed notable. To delete the page for lack of notability, this presumption must be overcome. To overcome the presumption of notability,
WP:BASIC states that Smith "fall under exclusionary criteria". He does not. Presumption of notability stands. --

Delete. The sourcing is not
significant - meaning it is not broad, deep, and independent. The coverage in sources is either in passing, or in sources connected to certain elements of the Roman Catholic church (a 19-year old article from a local newspaper about several national merit scholars, links and reviews in hard-core blogs, etc.). If there were multiple reviews in weekly/monthly diocesan papers, then I would change my mind. Please ping me.

Comment Of the references currently in the article:
1 (Catholic Commentator) is an article featuring several quotations from Mr. Smith. While this may indicate his prominence as a cultural commentator, it does not count towards the "significant independent coverage" requirement of the
general notability guideline (that is, the article does not contain substantial information about Mr. Smith, apart from his own comments).
2 (Catholic Community Radio) and 3 (Catholic Commentator): I believe these are two copies of the same article; again, the article contains quotations from Mr. Smith, but only a small amount of material about him.
4 (Louisiana's Historic and Cultural Vistas) and 5 (WikiTree) are about Mr. Smith's ancestor and (as far as I can see) don't mention Mr. Smith.
6 (The Oklahoman) includes Mr. Smith's name in a list of students who have won scholarships; this isn't substantial, in-depth coverage of Mr. Smith.
7 (Holy Water Books) is a profile by the publisher of Mr. Smith's books. It's fine to use this sort of affiliated source for biographical facts, but it doesn't count towards the GNG because it isn't sufficiently independent.
8 (Pointe Coupee Banner) is a newspaper article profiling Mr. Smith. This is significant, independent coverage in a reliably published source. Y
9 (The Hidden Eucharist) is a blog post by Mr. Smith.
10 (The Hidden Manna) doesn't mention Mr. Smith, so far as I can tell.
11 (The Hidden Manna in The Lord of the Rings) is a blog post by Mr. Smith.
12 (Elves of Valinor) doesn't mention Mr. Smith.
13 (Lord of the Rings and the Eucharist) is a book by Mr. Smith.
14 (EWTN Homeschool Connections) is a profile of Kevin O'Brien that (as far as I can see) doesn't mention Mr. Smith or his book.
15, 17, 38 (Catholicism.org). Catholicism.org is the website of a canonically irregular Feeneyite group.
[25] The local ordinary has told them to stop presenting themselves as Catholic.
[26] I don't know whether a blog post on their website receives editorial oversight before publication (if not, it shouldn't be used in the biography of a living person, per
WP:BLPSPS).
16, 18, 20, 27 (NCR) are directory-type listings of recommended blog posts, including entries by Mr. Smith. This isn't significant biographical coverage.
19, 29, 30 (Diocese of Baton Rouge) The URLs wouldn't load for me.
21 and 22 (New Evangelists Monthly): a blog post aggregator featuring writing by Mr. Smith, not about him.
23 (Aleteia) is an article by Mr. Smith.
24 (Big Pulpit) includes various directory-type listings of recommended blog posts, including entries by Mr. Smith.
25 (Catholic Exchange) is an article by Mr. Smith.
26 (Citizenside.com) is an article that cites Mr. Smith's blog, but doesn't contain significant coverage of him or it.
28 and 31 (ChurchPop) are articles by Mr. Smith.
32 (Clarifying Catholicism) is an article by Mr. Smith.
33 and 34 (Voyage Comics) are articles by Mr. Smith.
35 and 37 (Catholic Nerds Podcast) is a podcast co-hosted by Mr. Smith.
36 (The Station of the Cross) is a podcast episode on which Mr. Smith appears; it contains a brief introduction of Mr. Smith (as an author, award-winning blogger, and attorney), as well as interview comments by him.
39 (ChristianHorror.com/LifeDate Magazine) is a review of one of Mr. Smith's books. ChristianHorror.com is one of Mr. Smith's websites. I was unable to confirm that the review originally ran in LifeDate.I looked for additional sources such as magazine profiles, news articles, or book reviews, and didn't find anything useful. Cheers,

Keep Live Design meets point 5 (are significant publications in ethnic and other non-trivial niche markets) of
Wikipedia:Notability (media)#Newspapers, magazines and journals. Live performance design is a niche field and the magazine is certainly significant within it. In addition to sponsored content, they provide industry news and interviews with leading designers. For example,
Ming Cho Lee meets wikipedia's notability criteria and Live Design covered him far more than general interest news source.
Poor sourcing likely has a lot do with the small size of the design field. I'd recommend tagging with Expert-subject or bringing it to attention of

Yesterday I did some research and found a college level textbook and a professional guide to the field that both cited Live Design as an important resource for professional stage managers, designers, and technicians. I also found several university libraries which listed the magazine as a key journal for students. Which I think supports my point about it beings a significant publication in a non-trivial niche market.
That said, I do have a bias. In addition to being a trade publication, Live Design publishes articles that are useful for the history of lighting design, obituraries about significant designers, and articles focusing on the technical design elements of high profile shows (Broadway,
West End, and international tours). I'm working on adding
a section on the field's history to the article on
lighting design and the magazine is proving to be a useful source. (I don't have a

Hey guys! I'm pretty new to Wikipedia and a little bit confused about why this page is up for deletion? I am not arguing either way, but I hope to learn from my mistakes going forward.
I created two articles at the same time about similar people and using roughly the same amount of sources from the same places.
One was approved immediately, but this one has been back and fourth from draft space to published space and is now being considered for deletion.
There are independent references from news websites New Scientist, Forbes, ENWorld, Nerdbot, The Gamer, Geeknative, Tribality, and 80LV. There are also independent references from industry websites Board Game Geek and RPG Geek as well as appearances and interviews with Marriner-Dodds on podcasts Mammoth Gamescast, Game Store Prophets, and Morrus' Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk. I can understand why the podcast interviews and appearances may not count as good sources and I can remove those without an issue, but I do not understand why the others are not considered? Again I want to stress that I am NOT arguing in either direction for this article, but I'd really appreciate the chance to learn what I did wrong, and if possible to move the article back into draft space for continued improvements?

Comment - I won't say 'only'. Someone bringing an absolutely new concept (even if adopted) to television of a country of a Billion people - I think that's something (in my view). I also feel
WP:GNG is passed with ease; however, it is ideal for other editors to participate and decide what's appropriate. Thanks for everyone's time on this in advance!
CommentHey
Umakant Bhalerao! Good morning! You make a very interesting point indeed so I started reading more.
WP:GNG - from what I read, doesn't seem to robustly question reliability/independence of interviews. Hence, I read further at
WP:INTERVIEW - again, a great resource. From what I can conclude, interviews may or may not be independent/reliable etc. Most of the (like you rightly said), interviews, are in reliable sources seemed to be covered by in-house staff. I think what subject is saying about himself, would be considered as a primary source and hence is obligated to be ignored/omitted. But facts/information provided outside of that, and repeated by multiple other sources is still useful. In fact, I also read a para how content from primary sources could be used.
Also see,
"The longer and more detailed the material, and the more reliable the publication, the more likely secondary-source material in an interview is to have undergone proper fact-checking."
&
"An independent interviewer represents the "world at large" giving attention to the subject, and as such, interviews as a whole contribute to the basic concept of notability. The material provided to the interview by the interviewer and the publication is secondary. The material provided by the interviewee may be primary, if the interviewee is speaking about their own life, or may be secondary, if the interviewee is recognized as an expert on the subject being reported."
Besides, the Forbes article is not an interview
[29] It even says "Dhar declined to talk about his new venture, but sources close to him, said that he is up to “something big and exciting in the content space”." Yes, this is an announcement that puts us in
WP:ROUTINE but this is change of leadership and a major announcement as against a trivial one. I don't think we can classify all 'announcements' as
WP:ROUTINE as a rule. 'General Elections would be soon held', for example, is an announcement but I won't disregard it as a routine coverage (Let's say).
The nutshell statement of
WP:INTERVIEW concludes it aptly: "Interviews generally count as primary sources, but commentary added to interviews by a publication can sometimes count as secondary-source material."
Comment - Apologies that I didn't address the
WP:FILMMAKER. I think the subject qualifies for criteria 3:
"The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews."
The shows the subject has created would surely be deemed significant and covered heavily :)

Unclear criteria for inclusion in the list, as it appears to just be a list of billboard articles. It contains information that is not deemed "notable" for the individual artist's page, which makes it all the more confusing as to why this separate page exists. Contains information that may be considered Fancruft ("1st artists on Carpool Karaoke," "1st concert at a U.S. rodeo," etc.) I propose either the deletion of this page, or a transformation into a more comprehensive "Timeline of K-pop in 2020" page, which would not exclusively refer to billboard and have solid criteria for inclusion (debuts, comebacks, etc.)

Delete both Various K-Pop groups are covered in the media by various sources, unclear why their expected activities should all be lumped together and then limited to coverage by a single magazine. Each band's history should be on their own articles.
K-pop#History could be expanded to the point of a subarticle with actual major genre-defining events, but why forbid sources others than Billboard, but include every bit of routine trivia that is in Billboard?
Reywas92Talk20:02, 30 November 2020 (UTC)reply
Keep both with a Strong keep for
Timeline of K-pop at Billboard and a possible merging or renaming of
Timeline of K-pop at Billboard in the 2020s. The older and more comprehensive list
Timeline of K-pop at Billboard details historical magazine coverage of K-pop in the U.S. and the West for a couple of decades, when no other magazines or media were doing so. After more media started covering K-pop's explosion, post-BTS, I agree that the second list
Timeline of K-pop at Billboard in the 2020s, which is almost a redundant history of the one group, might best be trimmed and merged into a single year on the first list. The novelty of the lists was pertinent to the almost exclusive reporting by Billboard and the impact K-pop made on the music scene in the West, including the Billboard charts.--

I'm not sure I understand the merit of restricting the list to this one specific magazine, even if it was one of few magazines discussing K-pop in the West. That would indicate a lack of sources for a potential "Timeline of K-pop" list, but doesn't justify this page's existence in its current form. If Billboard's K-town magazine is the reason this page is so important, I'd propose merging the key events from this page into the history section of the
Billboard K-Town page, especially considering most of the key events from the
Timeline of K-pop at Billboard are already included in the history section.

I think we should keep the main article, with some tweaking. This kind of genre-wide view is easier to navigate rather than having to look for information on each group's article but I agree that it needs some trimming and there is no need for a separate article for the 2020s. Maybe a more comprehensive list that does not only refer to Billboard could be a better solution.

A good suggestion, however, those yearly pages are only concise lists of "Debuting" and "Disbanding" and the mostly western-based event and chart history from these Timelines would not fit there, unless a massive global history was added along with it.
I still think a severe trimming (which I will offer to do) of the main Timeline, and re-adding the 2020s to it, is the best option. A review of some of the existing music timelines, here
[31], show only one or two main sources. The repairs I suggest could include more outside sources being added, of which multiple abound, particularly about the charting; with a maintenance tag added to the page while this is ongoing.
But the main purpose of the Timeline was to document this magazine's consistent history of coverage and K-pop's growing relationship to the magazine's Billboard charts, however wrongly being sourced mostly from the magazine. In the early years, major music outlet Rolling Stone had a single small article
[32] and western mainstream media had almost nothing until
Psy's one hit contributed to the scene in 2012, followed by a steadier influx by BTS in the last part of 2016.
If a final consensus decides to delete both, I propose that it be trimmed and readded (which I will offer to do), as you suggested above, "merging the key events from this page into the history section of the
Billboard K-Town page", which it stemmed from. Although I would consider moving page names, it suggests massive work to bring in global aspects and loses the intent.--

In looking at the list of other timelines you've linked, there are only a few comparable articles (genre-specific list of events). One would be the
Timeline of progressive rock, but that only includes debuts, releases, disbandments, and a few key events per year, which seems to not be the intent of the article. Another could be
Timeline of punk rock, which contains similar information as the previous timeline (debuts, disbandments, releases, and a few key events per year). If those articles are used as precedent, it would seem to make sense to merge key events of the genre into the
2020 in South Korean music page by adding a few events per year to each year's page.
However, with regard to your initial intent, I don't know if there really are other sources that would "document this magazine's consistent history of coverage," which indicate that the topic of this article (to highlight Billboard Magazine's relationship with K-pop) fails to meet notability requirements. If the intent of this timeline is to document K-pop's breakthrough into the West, as @
Bonnielou2013: mentioned, then it could potentially see key events moved into the
Korean wave or
K-pop articles, both of which have sections highlighting key events in this timeline.

I don't think there is precedent for a timeline article specifically on one publication's relationship with a particular topic. This information is probably best Moved to the history section of the
Billboard K-Town page, in text form rather than a large table.
Keep with modifications, trimming down on trivial news items like who tweeted what and whose video hit 500 million views, these are not historical milestones. There are other similar timelines.

Sure, but that article has much of the same issues as this one. For instance, unstandardized material ("2nd boy group guests on The Ellen DeGeneres Show," "1st BTS' member solo on Hot 100 chart," "3rd boy group performs on Good Morning America," etc.) and a sole source for the article (Billboard). Even if it was merged with a larger article, it's not clear to me that this meets the standards for a list, as thorough as both may be.

WP:OR concerns. This feels like it should be a reasonable article topic, but I can't find sourcing that would justify it. There are a (very few) countries with government sources, but many of the (only 16) entries are sourced to Wikipedia lists of tunnels, or "The World's longest Tunnel Page" lists of tunnels (both likely incomplete.

Delete - this clearly violates Wikipedia's core principles on verifiability (
WP:V); that aside, I can see no evidence of notability; this does not pass
WP:LISTN as far as I can see. Using other Wikipedia articles as a source, themselves probably incomplete, just creates a Chinese whispers effect and should be strongly discouraged. Ultimately, this should be deleted because there is no evidence of notability for the topic itself and the information is highly unlikely to be anywhere near accurate.
Spiderone15:18, 17 December 2020 (UTC)reply
Comment - I think this comes down to ones philosophy of how articles should come about. Should articles be gradually improved until they become good, or should they spring into existence fully formed? If you look at back in the history of may good articles, you will see that many of them start out as woefully incomplete stubs. I think this is a topic that could result in a good article in theory, but I agree that the list as it currently is is incomplete and therefore could be misleading. I think many articles in this state deserve to be kept because they have the potential to grow into something good as more editors contribute to it. That said, this article has existed for quite a while without any further growth, so it does not look improbable that it would just stay as it currently is.

Semi-advertorialized
WP:BLP of a musician, not
reliably sourced as having any strong claim to passing
WP:NMUSIC. The strongest claim here is of the "got X number of clicks on a social media platform" variety, which is not an "inherent" notability freebie in any human occupation, and everything else here is pure PR bumf. And for sourcing, almost everything here is footnoted to unreliable blogs, concert listings calendars and streaming content on YouTube or Spotify, which are not notability-supporting sources -- the only footnote here that even starts to put a foot on the correct road is a very short article in a limited circulation local magazine called "Hollywood Weekly", which isn't widely distributed enough to singlehandedly get him over GNG all by itself if it's the only useful source on offer. Musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be sourced much, much better than this.

Delete. Single-market local radio personalities aren't automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist: the notability test requires that they work for a national network (e.g.
Matt Galloway) and/or that they have enough
reliable source coverage in sources independent of their own employers to pass
WP:GNG (e.g.
Dave Bookman.) But this passes neither of those tests: he's never worked for a national network, and the article is referenced entirely to the
self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations rather than any evidence of third party media coverage about him.
