Does not meet the general notability guidelines, specifically there is no evidence that it has significant coverage in multiple sources. All information seems to only mention them in passing. — The Editor's Apprentice ( talk) 23:52, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Does not meet WP:NORG, WP:GNG. While this source is a marked improvement over the previously-deleted version of this article, I was unable to find additional significant coverage in secondary, independent sources that would add up to meeting notability guidelines. signed, Rosguill talk 23:45, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. We should base notability decisions on the sources that are available, not just those cited in the article. Google News revealed the following sources:
Major newspapers:
  • "22 students of IP College selected for UN programme". The Hindu. New Delhi. 9 October 2019.
  • Shanahan, Mark; Goldstein, Meredith (November 14, 2013). "Millennium Campus Conference held at NU". Boston Globe.
  • "NUST stands among top 300 world varsities". The News International. Islamabad. 24 April 2020.
  • "University of Sargodha nominated for Millennium Fellowship". The News International. Lahore. October 6, 2019.
  • "Engineering college organizes first e-MUN". Times of India. May 6, 2020.
In addition, I could not access the articles in two US newspapers because of GDPR blocks.
News website (probably citeable):
Notable student newspaper:
University websites:
The MCN launched the Millennium Fellowship Program [1] with United Nations Academic Impact. The link to a UN program adds to MCN's notability.
Verbcatcher ( talk) 15:10, 30 May 2020 (UTC) reply
Verbcatcher, the thing is, across all these sources, pretty much the only information we have about the Millennium Campus Network is that they co-organize the Millennium Fellowship together with the UN. I think that these sources comprise a decent case for the notability of the Fellowship, but we still have basically no information about the Network, and no information about what the Network does versus what the UN does. signed, Rosguill talk 17:39, 30 May 2020 (UTC) reply
Indeed, a number of those sources namedrop the subject. But that is not, and has never been, a requirement of the GNG. The GNG holds that a source, to be considered to support the notability of a subject, must discuss that subject in "significant detail." Which of those sources you cite, precisely, do you claim does so? Ravenswing 19:56, 30 May 2020 (UTC) reply
I have two more sources to offer, on MCN conferences:
My main reasons for considering MCN to be notable are the scale of its activities, its global reach and that it has existed for several years. 600 people attended their Rabat conference in 2017.
'Salting' the article would be harsh, as the organization could develop further and more sources may appear. If we decide to delete then an option would be to make a stub for the Millennium Fellowship Program, merge some of this content into it, and redirect there. Alternatively, we could redirect to Sam Vaghar, although the notability of his article may be questionable. Verbcatcher ( talk) 21:21, 30 May 2020 (UTC) reply
I agree that salting is unnecessary, and is really only appropriate in cases where there's repeated attempts to circumvent consensus or otherwise add spam. However, of those two additional sources, the HuffPost one is literally written by the Millenium Campus Network, and the Le Matin piece does not mention the Network, just a conference that is presumably sponsored by the Network. signed, Rosguill talk 21:26, 30 May 2020 (UTC) reply
The Rabat conference was one of a series of Millennium Campus Conferences organized by the Network. [2] The authorship of the HuffPost article should not be a problem as it appears to be under the editorial control of HuffPost, and is not an advertorial. 22:04, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
I disagree with this assessment of the HuffPost article. Our WP:RSP entry for HuffPost establishes that pieces labeled as HuffPost contributors have insufficient editorial oversight to be reliable. signed, Rosguill talk 22:08, 30 May 2020 (UTC) reply
I accept your analysis of HuffPost. On this basis we should give this article the same status as a page on MCN's website – the basic description of the event should be treated as reliable. Other sources also describe this conference. [3] [4] Verbcatcher ( talk) 22:26, 30 May 2020 (UTC) reply
The bottom line, however, is that we still do not have reliable sources that describe the subject in the "significant detail" the GNG and WP:ORG requires, and your other rationales for believing the subject notable -- its putative "global reach," scale of activities and numbers of years active -- are not part of any pertinent notability criteria. To quote WP:ORG, " No matter how "important" editors may personally believe an organization to be, it should not have a stand-alone article in Wikipedia unless reliable sources independent of the organization have given significant coverage to it." I ask again: what specific sources provide significant detail about the subject, as opposed to an event it was sponsoring? Ravenswing 10:28, 31 May 2020 (UTC) reply
Deletion decisions should not be based on the current content of the article. Please consider the sources I have given above. Verbcatcher ( talk) 23:56, 5 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • The primary criteria in WP:ORG are:
  • [...] is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
This test is met by the articles I have linked above in major independent newspapers, including the The Hindu (an Indian newspaper of record), The News International, (a major newspaper in Pakistan), The Times of India (the largest selling English-language daily in the world) and The Boston Globe (a major US newspaper). These are sources of the highest quality and are independent of the the subject.
Comments above deny that this amounts to 'significant coverage'. WP:SIGCOV says 'Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.' These articles are focussed on programs run by MCN, or on their conference. These are not trivial or incidental mentions of our topic.
Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards: (1) The scope of their activities is national or international in scale. (2) The organization has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization.
Both of these are met.
We should also remember that Wikipedia:Notability is a guideline, not a policy. A note on that page says 'it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply'. MCN co-organises a program with UNAI. This program was launched by Ban Ki-Moon in a video in which he mentions MCN. [5] Barack Obama joined their meeting in the White House. [6] These are sufficient reasons to make an exception, if one is needed. Verbcatcher ( talk) 00:03, 6 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Almost all AfD proposals are submitted & resolved on the basis of notability, Verbcatcher. Anyway, you have made your points repeatedly enough. More would inadvisable. Take care. - The Gnome ( talk) 00:09, 6 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • And you've already been answered. "Significant coverage" needs to be given to the subject. Indeed, it does not need to be the main topic of the source material, but significant coverage given to the subject needs to be there all the same. Significant coverage given to a program (but not to the subject) run by the subject does not count. Significant coverage given to a conference (but not to the subject) run by the subject does not count.

    Beyond that, yes, WP:N is a guideline. And we need to see something far more compelling that, well, erm, because reasons, to set it aside. So far, not a single editor other than yourself believes there is any. Come up with a source where Ban-Ki Moon discusses MCN in significant detail (as opposed to a namedrop, whether or not Barack Obama was standing in the room when he said it), and minds might change. Ravenswing 06:33, 6 June 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Delete but hold the salt. While I appreciate the attempts at establishing notability, I read Verbcatcher's comment about common sense and thought that it applies both ways. My common sense tells me that the subject just has not (yet?) crossed into the threshold for notability. Ifnord ( talk) 17:16, 6 June 2020 (UTC) reply

The result was delete. Consensus favored deletion as the subject lacked sufficient impact in their field at this time. However, there are other dimension of notability relevant here, such as a local article with substantial coverage, and their documented work as an artist. Taken together, this is pretty close to fulfilling the general notability guideline.

The sourcing on this article is poor, and does not show enough evidence of notability.

The article was created in May 2013 by User:FarrahAb ( talk), who has a COI.

Recently he has been paying another editor, User:Mexi-Kiwi Mike ( talk) to edit the article (who has been involved in a editing dispute due to his attempts to make major changes to the article, which ToS prevents him from doing).

Another editor, User:Joyab ( talk) may also be involved in this. He has been making edits to the article since the time of creation. His possible involvement is based on Mike saying on the talk page that "the customer is refusing payment and trying to edit themselves". The only user who has made changes to the article recently except Mike, me or any other experienced user is Joyab.

Joyab also appears to have another account with a similar spelling who has edited the page, User:Joyfb.

Neither Joyab or FarrahAb (whose account is inactive) have declared their CoI. Mexi-Kiwi Mike has declared this, saying that Farrah has paid him on behalf of the article subject, Tavoosi to edit the article on his user page.

Based on the lack of notability and paid/undisclosed paid and COI issues above, I recommend the article be deleted. SK2242 ( talk) 23:09, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Delete COI creation is a reason for deletion because it shows that the person is not considered notable by people without a conflict of interest. If we do not want Wikipedia to be used by people to create articles on close friends and associates we need to delete articles with such conflicted histories as this one has. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:03, 1 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - with all this money riding on the outcome I had hoped that a bevy of excellent sources would be found to demonstrate notability. However, that does not appear to be the case. Although the nominator may have failed to mention searches made before nomination, I was involved at an early stage and I did do searches which piqued my curiosity as to why a Mexican Kiwi would be getting involved in what appeared to be a fruitless, and probably penniless venture.

I don't see any sign that this 15 year period (1981–1996) is called the "Indian Civil War". Moreover, the content of the article is bizarre: it's not a civil war if one side kills many and the other kills one over a 15 year period. Note that other edits from the article's creator suggest that he's referring to the Insurgency in Punjab. Pichpich ( talk) 20:54, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Textbook WP:1E bio about a man who twice landed a plane on the streets of New York. I would love to salvage this but I don't know how as I cannot locate adequate sources.

In addition to notability, I have a serious problem as to crucial portions of this biography. One of the main sources is a death notice that may be about a different person. He has a common name, and the death notice does not say if he was responsible for the famous landing. That source states that he was a World War II veteran, which is hard to believe as he was born in 1930. The subject of this article may not even be dead. Figureofnine ( talkcontribs) 19:17, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

I've stricken out my reservations about the death notice as some of its contents, specifically the date of death, were adopted in a New York Times article. My concerns re WP:1E stand, however.

There's no question that it is a true story. The problem is that the person is noted only for that ( WP:1E) as evidenced by an absence of sources on the person that would indicate if he is even alive or dead. The inadequate sourcing stating his death, a death notice not mentioning the incident, creates a serious BLP issue. Moving to St. Nicholas Avenue street landing or something like that is one possible solution, assuming the incident itself is worth an article, which I doubt. Figureofnine ( talkcontribs) 12:03, 30 May 2020 (UTC) reply
I agree, the article can be taken down to the studs of NYT and Snopes, and built from there. If you are a history buff, perhaps you know which non-newspaper history sites are legit. I think the incidents are notable, whether the article falls under Mr. Fitzpatrick's name or under a title that refers more to the landings. Caro7200 ( talk) 14:18, 30 May 2020 (UTC) reply
I'm a bit dubious about the notability of the incident. But if it is notable, the sourcing is adequate for a short article and I am sure there is more contemporary news coverage. Let's hear other opinions on the notability of the incident (in addition to Mr. Fitzpatrick's notability, which is the subject of this AfD). I think Snopes is mainly useful in pointing to reliable sources. It debunks hoaxes and this is clearly not a hoax. Figureofnine ( talkcontribs) 19:24, 30 May 2020 (UTC) reply
The incident is notable, he did it twice and was a decorate war hero, which should pass WP:1E, also he is no longer alive, this source says he lied about his age so the information appears to be accurate. Valoem talk contrib 22:45, 30 May 2020 (UTC) reply

      4. "Quiz Carlstadt Pilot In NYC Street Landing: Fitzpatrick Shows Up at Headquarters; Had Laneded Craft in Area Two Years Ago". Herald News. Associated Press. 1958-10-04.

      The articles do not just discuss his 1956 and 1958 intoxicated flights and landings. Here is more biographical information about Fitzpatrick from the articles:
      1. He was born Thomas Edward Fitzpatrick in New York City on 24 April 1930. His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Fitzpatrick. He had an older brother, Frank, and an older sister.
      2. He joined the U. S. Marine Corps at the age of 15 and likely lied about his age to join. He served during World War II in China near the end of the war. He was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps.
      3. He then enlisted in the US Army and was stationed in Japan. He then fought in the Korean War in the US Army. He received the Silver Star for "gallantry in action against the enemy".
      4. He received a Purple Heart after he was injured. The Purple Heart medal citation said, "During a strategic withdrawal, Corporal Fitzpatrick noticed a wounded officer, about 100 yards (91 metres) forward of his position. In attempting a rescue, he and a companion were seriously wounded. Cpl. Fitzpatrick, despite severe pain and loss of blood, made it back to safety, organised and directed a second rescue party and provided covering fire to support the rescue."
      5. Following his recovery from his Korean War injuries (during which he lost 70 out of 220 pounds), he took part in an Army boxing team and became an Army boxing champion.
      6. Fitzpatrick then served as a military policeman who patrolled the area near New York City's Times Square.
      7. He was discharged from the Army in 1951 and moved to New York City in 1952 where he worked as a steamfitter and took flying lessons from the Teterboro School of Aeronautics.
      8. Fitzpatrick had previously resided in Emerson, New Jersey, but moved to Carlstadt, New Jersey, in June 1958 after he got married.
      9. He was a mechanic working for Curtiss-Wright Corporation at Caldwell, New Jersey.
      10. The "Late Night Flight" is a drink available in Manhattan named for Thomas Fitzpatrick. Ingredients are: Kahlua, vodka, Chambord, blackberries, egg white, and syrump. The drink, when properly mixed, looks like the night sky Fitzpatrick flew under.
      11. He died at age 79 in September 2009 from cancer.
      Cunard ( talk) 10:03, 31 May 2020 (UTC) reply
Thanks for this. I think there's no doubt remaining about the notability of the event, as it received multiple coverage in reliable sources, so as to justify an article on the event. The details you provide on Mr. Fitzpatrick's life are based on one source, and for the most part are trivial. The claim that he served in World War II, for instance, is only in the death notice and was not repeated in the Times article. I think we need a better source than that for an extraordinary claim (that a man served in U.S. Army during World War II at the age of 14-15). Figureofnine ( talkcontribs) 12:37, 31 May 2020 (UTC) reply
The details I provided on Fitzpatrick's life are based on the three sources I listed which provide detailed biographical background about him.

Two reliable sources discuss Fitzpatrick's claimed service in World War II:

From African Pilot's 2019 article written by Divan Muller, "Thomas Edward Fitzpatrick was born on 24 April 1930 in New York City in the USA. In 1945, Fitzpatrick served with the US Marine Corps in World War II's Pacific theatre. He was clearly too young to serve, so it is obvious that he lied about his age."

From The Record's 1956 article written by Edward Silberfarb, "Performing the unusual is not new to Fitzpatrick, however. According to his brother, Frank, he joined the U. S. Marine Corps at the age of 15, and was stationed in China at the close of World War II. Before he was discharged two years later he had learned to fly a reconnaissance plane."

The second source attributes his service in World War II at age 15 to his brother but does not say the source did any independent verification of it. This is an extraordinary claim so these two sources probably are not enough to state in Wikipedia's voice that he served in World War II at age 15. It would be better to attribute this claim to the two sources instead.

  • Delete. Being a leader of one county's local chapter of a national or international organization is not, in and of itself, grounds for a Wikipedia article. In reality, the most genuinely substantive notability claim being attempted here is that he wrote a book — but writers are also not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their books are verifiable as existing, and still have to demonstrate the significance of their books by virtue of literary awards and/or critical reviews of the book in media. Nothing here demonstrates substantive nationalized significance at all, and with the sourcing split about 50/50 between primary sources that aren't support for notability at all and purely local human interest coverage in his own local media, he hasn't been shown to pass WP:GNG in lieu of having to have any notability claims that would pass an SNG.

Taiwanese animator and animation director that does not pass the WP:BIO bar or more simply the WP:GNG bar. As far as sources go, all I can find online is his IMDb entry. (Of course IMDb is not considered reliable.) It shows a 25-year career but, as far as I understand, he was mostly credited as one of many animators of Shanghai Morning Sun Animation Co., Ltd.

This is an object example of the messiness of the GNIS compilation process. Over a period of a decade and a half, the label on the spot changed twice, but only the last version in 1994 called it what it is: Plasse Resort. It was never called "Silver Lake", though that's what the USPS called the post office there (which is what the 1983 map says), and it was never a town called "Plasse". Unfortunately, GNIS recorded the name in 1981. There is a possibility that the resort itself is notable, but that's a different article. Mangoe ( talk) 18:02, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

All 14 of the sources are reporting the actors death. He only had two supporting roles during his career and, due to his death, is not going to add to his career. I don't think this satisfies the general notability guideline, and the points for the guideline for actors are Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. a large fan base is hard to show or determine for an actor with two minor roles, and I think the other two points are clearly not met. It's unlikely that any substantial information could be added to show notability, or to ever grow the article beyond a stub. Alex ( talk) 15:54, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: The reference provided does support the article. It says he was "Minister - Mines and Minerals Development" and is now "Minister - Commerce, Trade and Industry", but that's a primary source. There are many online sources that report his titles, but those are passing references. If this person had these titles in a Western government, there would be plenty of reliable sources. I think this is marginal, but I !vote keep because deleting this contributes to the biases of Wikipedia that reflect coverage in major media.

I’m sorry but that’s nonsense. The first set of search results you’ve posted does indeed show that animenewsnetwork.com frequently cites Cinema Today. But I’ve worked my way down the list of alleged supporting sources in the Japan Today site and they’re nothing of the sort. In one instance there was a ref to Cinema Today. In the others there were just the words ‘cinema’ and ‘today’ collocated. Mccapra ( talk) 20:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC) reply
Maestro2016, answering your question, to meet wp:notability (which is a requirement for existence as a separate article) it would need to either meet the requirements of wp:GNG or those of Wikipedia:Notability (web). Having reliable sources cover Cinema Today in depth would count a lot towards both. Having reliable sources refer to it doesn't. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk) 11:17, 13 May 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Comment This website is cited very often and seems to be a highly reliable source of information both on Wikipedia and for other entertainment websites like Entertainment Weekly and The Hollywood Reporter, but it does not appear to be notable itself. If the website has a parent company with an article I would recoment to redirect it there, if there is not then I would very sadly say delete. ★Trekker ( talk) 21:15, 4 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. This seems very close to discussions about authors and broadcasters. Articles can have non-notable subjects that have a ton of references but what is important is what those references say, not what the subject says. So, if the references are by the subject and not about the subject, they do not count for notability. This appears the case here. Ifnord ( talk) 18:23, 6 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Move to draft to allow for possible improvement. Per my comment at Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Archive 64#No article for Science Times (sciencetimes.com): "I tend to be of the opinion that any media which we cite as a reliable source should be notable enough to have an article (and, ideally, should have an article). How can we know that a source is reliable if there is not even enough information about it to meet our notability standards?" Continuing that thought, I think that we should either find sources providing this context for the subject in question, or deprecate its use as a source. BD2412 T 00:55, 7 June 2020 (UTC) reply

The article had a PROD that was removed. So, this is the next step. It doesn't seem to be a notable record label. There are a few mentions of it in books, but none of them that I could find actually discussed the company. Instead, it was all just trivial brief mentions like "so and so was released on Blue Beacon Records." There definitely wasn't any in-depth coverage of the company in multiple sources.

  • Delete a non-notable beauty queen. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 20:11, 14 May 2020(UTC)
  • Keep an article that is informative in nature about a person who is widely known not only in Azerbaijan , but also abroad. To cast doubt on the significance of the article does not correspond to effectiveness.The article is not commercial in nature, since the links attached to the article are direct evidence that the article is significant and is translated into other Wikipedia languages, since the MODEL has international status and popular outside her country.To cast doubt on the reputation of model and written information about her at the discussion by participants side is a direct violation of Wikipedia.The model was crowned as Miss not in private commercials of beauty contests, but in internationally recognized and prestigious beauty contests, and the beauty contest "World Supermodel" is in the TOP 10 most prestigious contests in the world. The model is also recognized by many Award ceremonies in Azerbaijan and not only . She is the owner of more than 10 winning trophies as best model of Azerbaijan. Confirmation of this can be found in the links attached to the article, which are state Azerbaijani portals. an article about this person has the right to be here and be informative in nature for everyone in free use, without violating the rights.Verdict -Keep.

Hmmm, maybe the article should be renamed or something. That aside, I'm not sure a bunch of brief mentions about the organization in otherwise extremely short articles about there rallies is really enough for notability. One of your references is single four line paragraph that says nothing except "they held a rally." WP:NCORP considers events, especially local ones, to be considered trivial coverage due to audience. Id say an "article" about a rally held in Naxalbari would count as that. Especially considering it doesn't even say anything except "there was a rally in Naxalbari." -- Adamant1 ( talk) 01:22, 18 May 2020 (UTC) reply

WP:GEOSCOPE refers to the notability of events. For political organizations, we use WP:GNG, WP:NPOL and WP:NORG. -- Soman ( talk) 23:15, 18 May 2020 (UTC) reply
I know, but your the one posting a bunch of articles about events instead of the organization. I don't see why you would, unless by doing so your saying the organization should be notable for the events it puts on. To which, I'm saying if the events aren't notable, then the organization putting them on can't be either. You can't have it both ways by saying there's nothing notable about the events themselves, but the organization is notable just for doing them. So, lets get rid of your citations to protests then, because I agree with you that it should be about WP:NORG, not WP:GEOSCOPE. Say we make it purely about WP:NORG, then what sources do we have left that actually talk about the organization in-depth and aren't mainly about protests? -- Adamant1 ( talk) 00:24, 19 May 2020 (UTC) reply
See the forest, in spite of the trees. If the fact that an organization holds a conference or a rally is covered in news media, that's a good indicator of notability. If there are hundreds of different news reports of events of an organization, spread across many locations, it is a good indicator of notability. -- Soman ( talk) 00:55, 19 May 2020 (UTC) reply
So then there aren't any articles about the organization itself? Alright then. To quote WP:NORG (it's your standard), "An organization is not notable merely because a notable person or event was associated with it", "Examples of trivial coverage including of sponsorship of events, non-profit organizations, or volunteer work, coverage of purely local events, incidents, and controversies (see also #Audience below)." From Audience (again, your standard) "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability." So no, coverage of "events" alone isn't a good indicator of notability. At least not by WP:NORG. which is your own standards. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 01:22, 19 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Article was first redirected with summary "non-notable if indeed she exists at all", and then incorrectly nominated for speedy deletion G8 ("dependent page of a page which does not exist, has been deleted, or is itself currently tagged for speedy deletion"), which was false as well.

The author (or nom de plume) clearly exists, you don't get a page at Penguin Books [25] for no reason.

However, I can't find evidence that she has received significant attention, so she probably isn't notable (and as suggested may be an invented name to publish anonymous stories by different writers, which is in itself not a reason to delete). Perhaps there is some good redirect target, or perhaps she has received attention in more "specialized" sources; otherwise deletion is the right decision.

  • Delete Wikipedia is not a geneological database. People have to do notable things or get extensive coverage focused on them to be considered notable. Just being part of a family with notability does not cause us to have articles on every individual in the family. Which is why we need to delete some articles we have on children of monarchs who died as children, but that is a different issue than what we have here. Being the grandchild of a notable person does not make one notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 12:51, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Completely unsourced and WP:LISTCRUFT. There are already lists of populated places per state (i.e. List of populated places in Pennsylvania. There is no need for a summary only list of the top ten, which in effect doubles up content from other articles.

  • Merge with List of largest cities of U.S. states and territories by population, by populating it with data for the 6th to 10th most populous cities, if it can be done in a way that doesn't bloat the table too much. Perhaps this could be done by making a "summary table" of the 2 or 3 largest cities in each state, then a full table below the summary table with the full top tens. The current table at that page only covers the top five per state.
    I strongly disagree with the nominator's rationale. Deletion isn't cleanup, and if not for the existence of this semi-redundant pre-existing list as a merge topic, I'd be in favor of keeping the article. The fact that it's unsourced does not mean it should be deleted - city populations aren't a BLP or otherwise contentious topic where immediate sourcing is to be demanded, so the solution would be to fix it yourself by adding sources, as well as cleaning up the formatting and moving it to a title more in line with Wikipedia's title conventions. The list is not "cruft", and to my eye it doesn't clearly meet any of the twelve characteristics listed at WP:LISTCRUFT, which anyway is an essay, not a policy or guideline. The fact that List of largest cities of U.S. states and territories by population averages over 500 pageviews per day shows that there is in fact significant reader interest in the subject.

  • Delete Running a seminary of 120 students does not qualify for NPROF; chairing a department does not either per the above comparison.

  • Keep or at least Merge to Grace Theological Seminary. I am an inveterate deletionist on Wikipedia, so this is a little weird for me, but I think that presidents of this institution probably should be documented. There are plenty of sources about this little outfit which played an outsized role in a number of American religious movements including, but not limited to, creationism and fundamentalism. I am not sure every president of the institution deserves a standalone article, so I can see an argument for merging to the Seminary, but I can see enough sources out there about this fellow that a WP:CFORK might even be inevitable, which makes me think that keep is probably the right answer here. jps ( talk) 11:14, 27 May 2020 (UTC) reply

  • addressing the series of comments above The notability standards that apply to organizations and companies are among the highest in evaluating notability for the reasons explained in WP:NCORP. NCORP is the criteria of the English language Wikipedia and it isn't necessarily comparable with other language versions nor is there a reciprocity rule that allows presence in other language Wikipedia to be used as a presumption of notability. There's no doubt that sources present in German and Italian versions are meaningless for establishing notability here. The order of establishment, the absolute size, the relative size within arbitrarily subdivided sector asserted by Wikipedia editors don't affect the notability. It requires multiple, deep, totally independent secondary coverage in widely circulated general interest publication to anchor down the notability foundation which the sources currently present do not support. Presence of other stuff that fails notability don't provide justification for articles nominated for deletion. Graywalls ( talk) 00:43, 24 May 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Hi guys, coming from the German Wiki where we have clear quantifiable hurdles for notability criteria such as number of employees, revenue and stock listing (all of which are fulfilled by the company), I find it quite strange that the notability is being discussed here. If you only rely on significant media coverage, you might want to take some of these into account: [39] [40] [41] [42] [43]. These articles are mainly behind paywalls which sadly is a main problem with proofing notability solely by media´s reception. Opposed to HighKing I do see some media articles in the initial Wiki article which are neither sole interviews nor company announcements ( [44] [45] [46]). Why are these sources being ignored?

    • @ Qwertz1894:, # of employees, stock listing and revenue are not part of the criteria for the en.wikipedia, the English language Wikipedia and some of the sources you provided, such as the announcement of the sale of corporate headquarters is arguably routine coverage. The SPGlobal one would be what would be DEPENDENT secondary. Businesswire is PRESS RELEASE distribution, thus not independent secondary. The telegraph one, I'm not so certain. Perhaps @ HighKing: could comment on that article. Graywalls ( talk) 16:48, 28 May 2020 (UTC) reply
    • Comment The criteria for notability on the English language Wikipedia is different than German Wiki so the notability criteria there has no bearing on the criteria here. You should also take a read of WP:ORGIND in particular to understand the interpretation of "Independent" - it doesn't just mean that the "publisher" is independent from the topic company (if I had 2c for every time I've seen this ...) but that the content of the reference must include "Independent Content" i.e. must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. You've mentioned some references where you question why I rejected them based on our policies and guidelines. This from LeFigaro is based on a company announcement (says it in the lede) with no indications of any independent content. This from S&P Global is headlined "Icade reveals plans..." and again, no indications of any independent content. This from The Telegraph is based on information provided by Alex Illingworth, co-manager of the Mid Wynd investment trust which is a shareholder in Icade so not unaffiliated nor Independent. Looking at the new references you've provided, every single one is based on company announcements and none meet the criteria on the English language Wikipedia for establishing notability as they all fail WP:ORGIND. HighKing ++ 16:52, 28 May 2020 (UTC) reply
      • Comment I know, I have read WP:ORG and I know that you have to comply with it. I only see a problem in defining routine coverage. If one needs several media articles with a profound analysis of the company and its financial and organizational structure, you can start to delete a great portion of all Wiki articles about mid cap or even large cap companies. That definition also rules out references like this [47] (which only talks about Icade in one short paragraph but its still more than one "single-sentence mention"). What would be non-routine coverage?-- Qwertz1894 ( talk) 17:31, 28 May 2020 (UTC) reply
        • Comment you are exactly right. and whole sections are being deleted as a result of bludgeoning the subjects. if a REIT makes the Forbes 2000 list, runs vast portions of downtown Paris, starts Europe's first healthcare reit, is one of the 60 biggest companies in france, and builds the first fully solar powered eco building in paris, it is nowhere near non-notable. impossible ! Grmike ( talk) 03:27, 29 May 2020 (UTC)grmike reply
        • Comment Qwertz1894, the best references are those where an article discusses the company in depth, with analysis/commentary/etc clearly provided by the journalist and not simply regurgitating company announcements (churnalism). Analyst reports are acceptable for example. Lots of companies have articles written about them because they make announcements or their executives are interviewed and these are not acceptable. I agree with you that a great portion of all Wiki articles about companies/organizations fail the requirements - the evidence from AfD is that 80% or more articles (on companies/organizations/etc) end up being deleted which goes to prove ... something, I don't know, but in my opinion it shows about how most companies use PR a lot and how most newspapers/magazines are more interested in filling up column inches that providing independent commentary and analysis. The bar is set intentionally high because to not do so, we end up with companies trying to use Wikipedia as a platform for promotion or credibility which is not its role. If a company is truly notable, somebody, somewhere, will write about it and provide their own analysis/opinion/etc. HighKing ++ 18:29, 28 May 2020 (UTC) reply

I've created many articles myself and I understand the utter frustration involved if someone questions notability and the article is subsequently deleted. Hopefully you won't be put off from creating many more articles and if you ever want me to check any references you might have questions about, fire ahead on my Talk page, glad to help if I can. The Deletion Review shows that many editors have endorsed not only the decision to delete but also the analysis of the sources. It is also noteworthy that one editor pointed out that your accusations of BLUD are completely off the mark and went further to point out that the only example of BLUD on show is your conduct, not mine.

  • Comment Obviously I´m not a great supporter of a literal interpretation of WP:ORG or any other rule or guideline in Wikipedia. However, if you do that, George and Schaefer would still not collide with ORGIND. According to ORGIND active company personnel and other parties that have something, financially or otherwise, to gain or lose are NOT independent... George and Schaefer are not currently working for CDC or Icade and proofing a further financial connection might be near to impossible. It´s definetly worth discussing whether former employees of a state-owned enterprise have a great benefit out of such actions. Furthermore it is not necessary for an article to discuss "Icade" as long as they deal with "SCIC". SCIC was simply renamed Icade in 2003.

  • Dwaro, Graywalls, ISBN-10: 0262034697, ISBN-13: 978-0262034692, published by The MIT Press. Pages 213 and 214 contain passages that mention Icade. Page 213 says that Icade is the leading commerical real estate company for offices and business parks in the Ile-de-France and a private subsidiary of the Caisse des Depots et Consignations and is the first French REIT to devlop a strategy and appoint management to deal specifically with Grand Paris. It mentions that the company has millions of square meters of holdings and investments and is a signatory to five CDTs. In my opinion, this reference meets the criteria for establishing notability.

I can find nothing reliable on the band itself, and they can only be found in some basic retail listings and modern social media pages trying to convince people that they had some historical importance, nearly 30 years after they accomplished nothing. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 02:44, 31 May 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Per nom, no RS. Yes, it is difficult to search for this band as most of the results were about the song of the same name by Can. I also looked up this Jake Stephenson fellow and the stuff I found was basically the same what Doomsdayer520 said. Only mentioned on fan pages and collector sites. I also looked up their Spongy Comestibles album, hoping to find at least one decent source. But nope, the sources were even worse: unreliable sites like Discogs and Rate Your Music, lots and lots of shop sites and lots and lots of blogs. No reliable sources whatsoever. To be frank, I have never heard about this band before, but they seem like the kind of band that made no waves whatsoever when they were active, no reliable media wrote about them so they remained an obscure, underground band which has no reason to be included in Wikipedia. How this article managed to stay here since 2006 is beyond me. GhostDestroyer100 ( talk) 19:32, 2 June 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per WP:GNG. At first glance this looks like a well-sourced, if rather poorly written, article but closer inspection reveals most sources to be nothing more than personal blogs, which certainly fail WP:RS. The only two that look more serious are the Independent Music Awards and Global Music Awards links, but those appear to be awards-for-cash: the latter currently has a COVID statement including "We will fully refund all payments for unjudged entries. We are not accepting medallion orders. We will ship all medallion orders currently in hand." I'd say that means the article currently has no reliable sources. I'm not able to find anything more substantial so deletion is the way to go. Absconded Northerner ( talk) 07:40, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

A switch for a siding which didn't have a name on the maps until the 1959 map. These maps show nothing in particular in the area except the siding and various mines, one of which has developed into Specialty Granules' Ione plant. The siding is still there and is being used to store covered hoppers from the plant, judging from today's GMaps shot. At any rate, there was never anything here in the way of a settlement that I can see. Searching is a monumental pain but I found one reference to "Edwin siding" and another more extensive discussion of the area in general as part of a mining/manufacturing proposal; nothing that said it was a town or describes an "Edwin" in a notable manner.

Fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. No obvious claim of notability. Yes, there's a CDBABY page, mention on IMDb and a Yahoo!-hosted website.

I too had considered nominating it when I started deleting external links. Having a major contribution on Sesame Street and the iMDB entry suggest that he is notable, but like the OP, the only thing I could find that appeared to be WP:RS was that one article (and maybe some others [57]) in a local news outlet or passing mention ( [58]). A potential alternative is to draftify it to MRadice who appears to be the subject of the article, or anyone else who thinks they can dig up WP:RS to meet notability requirements and pass WP:AfC.
Please note that the article has survived 11 years now, and this appears to be the first nomination for deletion. Some editors who are still active now (e.g. Alistair1978, Arjayay, Nikkimaria, Kahtar (aka LindsayH), GoingBatty, Aboutmovies, PKT, RockNWrite82, Chris_the_speller, Bender235, Jevansen, Rjwilmsi) have made edits to the article in the past or distant without nominating it for deletion. I am curious what their position is. When I touch an article, I usually consider whether it passes WP:GNG, but maybe not all editors do. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 17:05, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - Since I got a ping, I'll respond regarding whether my edits mean anything as to notability. They do not. Here, it looks like in 2013 I assessed it as it was in the unassessed bios, so I was really paying attention only to the quality, which does not directly relate to notability. I also added a category, as I typically see if bios have the main categories they should. My later edit was part of a category diffusion campaign, so I would not have looked even at the quality of the article, only looking to see if it could be moved to a lower level city/occupation category. When I am doing purely category work I am not really paying attention to the notability or really even the quality of the article. Aboutmovies ( talk) 22:18, 30 May 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Delete Week Keep (see later comment below) - I am somewhat familiar with this gentleman's work and I was really hoping to find something in his favor. Everything in the article appears to be true, as he wrote several hit songs for other people, wrote for various TV shows, and was briefly a touring member of Aerosmith. Kudos to him for making an honest living behind the scenes, but the sources found by the "Keep" voter above only help a little. Via online and book sources I can find nothing additional, beyond basic mentions of his name in relation to other artists, some local media coverage, and bare-bones credit listings. I don't think this gets him past the significant and reliable coverage requirements for notability. In the realm of Bands/Musicians AfD's we often see that longtime behind-the-scenes journeymen like this may have honest achievements but they simply can't get into an encyclopedic article. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 02:18, 31 May 2020 (UTC) reply
@ Doomsdayer520:: Wikipedia:MUSICBIO and Wikipedia:COMPOSER list numerous criteria which Radice fulfills, one of which, (5.Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels) is he easily meets. Djflem ( talk) 08:37, 31 May 2020 (UTC) reply
I have changed my vote to "Week Keep" because you are technically correct about "two or more albums on a major record label". However, in the additional sources you have found he was still only mentioned briefly in association with other people and the album reviews tend to be brief one-paragraph announcements. Therefore I still think that Radice lacks the significant and reliable coverage requirements due to the brevity of the mentions that he actually got. But I concede that he just barely meets some Wikipedia requirements if there's going to be a debate about keeping him here. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 14:36, 31 May 2020 (UTC) reply
Additional comment - If the article is kept, it needs to be cleaned up very badly, not just in writing/formatting but in its attempts to exaggerate his importance. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 02:20, 31 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Also, no reliable sources - the only references are to blogs, magazines which have no reliability, and a single tweet from Travie McCoy about the song she was featured on, to claim "critical acclaim".

Reviewed as part of New Page Patrol. This article was originally nominated for DYK, but it ended up being pulled from the main page due to concerns about notability and promotional tone (see discussion here and here). Taking a good look at the sources, I agree with the notability concerns. Most of the sources (both in the article and found through WP:BEFORE) are just announcements of new products, which fail WP:CORPDEPTH and have a highly advertorial tone, complete with prices, online shopping links, and Instagram glamour shots: see [59] [60] [61] [62] [63] [64], etc. Most of the sources that actually discuss the company in detail are interviews (fails WP:ORGIND): [65] [66] [67]. This one isn't, but I can't find any information on Highsnobiety's editorial policies, and this page does not inspire confidence in their journalistic integrity. The brand is certainly mentioned a lot and perhaps I'm just out of touch with the kids these days and their "streetwear", but I'm not sure there's enough here to pass the high bar of WP:NCORP.

  • Keep As the main author of this page, I am in no way associated with the brand - I didn't write it to be PR fluff in any way. In fact I've never even heard of them before I read that the Wikimedia foundation had made a T-shirt with a fashion brand, and it didn't have it's own Wikipedia page. I object to your interpretation that interviews violate WP:ORGRIND - in which said paragraph doesn't once mention interviews directly. An interview is an acceptable secondary source and unless it can be proven that the interviewer has a vested or explicitly stated commercial interest in promoting the interviewee, then I think it should stand as a citation.
I accept that some of the sources used are too commercial and may not be right for Wiki. However, as per my previous arguments, some of the other sources here are from notable media outlets like Pitchfork, iD and Dazed & Confused and even Vogue - who are all respected publications. As SpicyMilkBoy said themselves, it's been 'mentioned' a lot. So, I personally feel this is a worthy topic for a Wiki page. Lastly, I also object to that condescending 'discussion' on the front page error page being used as an argument for deletion. I was more than a bit concerned that a cited and formatted page was called 'rubbish' and then undemocratically removed from DyK without any consultation from the four/five other editors who had previously signed off on it as per due process.
Also one of the links that was posted as advertorial (#5) was literally not selling anything at all - it was documenting that they had produced a one off design for one of the world's biggest rap groups. The Flying Spaghetti Monster! 16:44, 31 May 2020 (UTC) reply
WP:ORGIND may not mention interviews, but elsewhere on the page it plainly and explicitly excludes them; Primary sources cannot be used to establish notability. In a business setting, frequently encountered primary sources include...memoirs or interviews by executives. Spinning Spark 18:57, 5 June 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Of the four sources offered above as particularly notable, the Pitchfork article is not about ABC, it's about Lil Wayne and his merchandising of the Wikipedia tee shirt; The i-D article is not about ABC, it's about the Wikipedia tee shirt; The Dazed site is not about ABC, it's about the Wikipedia tee shirt. In all three the mention of ABC is more or less incidental. The Vogue article is more substantial, but as SpicyMilkBoy says, it is essentially an interview (and it is not even used in the article). It's not enough to get to notability. Spinning Spark 22:57, 5 June 2020 (UTC) reply

The result was Keep, after extended time for discussion. "Keep" arguments align with the pertinent guideline, WP:RPRGM, which states: "an individual radio or television program is likely to be notable if it airs on a network of radio or television stations (either national or regional in scope)", and "the presence or absence of reliable sources is more definitive than the geographic range of the program's audience alone". The guideline specifically notes that a single broadcast of a failed pilot episode can be notable if discussed in reliable sources. Whatever else this may be, it is that.

Obviously I can't use court documents but I can tell right now that the case appears to have been dismissed though there's still issues over attorney's fees and the like.

  • Delete All of the claims within this article hide that the only reason this had a network television timeslot at all was that it used brokered programming time (read the related article CBS Sports Spectacular, which usually follows CBS's NFL games when they don't have a doubleheader game weekend and is a time-buy slot most weeks), rather than the merits of the ceremony itself, to get on TV, which is usually a broad disqualifier for an article here. CBS not only just collected money from the organizers of this ceremony and sold them time (thus why west of the Rockies it aired wherever an otherwise indifferent CBS affiliate could fit it in), but they offered no basic editorial input on the ceremony because the organizer, outside of making sure it met CBS's standards and practices (here 'don't swear, do FCC-license threatening things, or show nudity'), was completely responsible for how it turned out. It's the equivalent of an infomercial, and besides the poor organization and overall show, it doesn't have much WP:N for the actual awards itself. It didn't have a 2019 ceremony. Outside an entry in Video game award, this doesn't justify its article link and can be compressed easily into a smaller paragraph there. Nate ( chatter) 08:54, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply
Comment: How can anyone know if an awards program is brokered programming or not? Unless we have an interview with someone involved stating this or it's something that was discussed in third party sources about the show, it's not really something knowable about any TV show. -- Prosperosity ( talk) 12:37, 2 June 2020 (UTC) reply

To me this is a classic case of WP:BLP1E for a diver who just happens to be in the Guinness Book of Records. There's no real coverage of this person, apart from setting two very similar world records. It was created by a WP:SPA some six years ago too.

Comment notability is defined by multiple independent reliable sources. There are also specific notability guidelines, but the subject fails them as well. One source, the half of which can't be used cause it's direct speech, doesn't prove the subject is notable. Less Unless ( talk) 13:41, 28 May 2020 (UTC) reply

@ Less Unless: Would you expand on your statement that there are "no IRS"? One of the cited sources is a primary source interview that is lacking in independence, if that's what your "I" stands for. What is your analysis of why the other 14 sources aren't "IRS"?
@ Ifnord: The article, perhaps written by someone whose first language isn't English, is hard to follow. To clarify, Tansen is still a member of the Vikings (his quitting lasted all of 24 hours). The band is a red link, but that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't notable. Their heyday was the late 1990s, and very little Bangladeshi material from that period is available online, so proving it one way or another wouldn't be quick or easy. Also, although he may have written songs for Shabnam Ferdousi's film Ajob Karkhana and his own Run Out (the sources are unclear), he also directed the films Run Out and Podmo Patar Jol (transliterations vary) as well as performed the music for the former and wrote the screenplay for the latter. He still might not meet WP:MUSICBIO or WP:CREATIVE, but could meet WP:GNG without WP:1E applying. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 00:28, 31 May 2020 (UTC) reply
@ Worldbruce: Hello! I agree the wording in my nomination was rather misleading as IRS are there ( i will add this to the nomination), however the coverage of the subject is not significant. All the articles have 1-2 trivial mentions saying he is a director and a vocalist. WP:GNG requires in depth coverage about the subject - directly and in detail.
I'll go through the links, but i'll start from source number 5 as the first 4 sources were added after my nomination
  • source 5 this - can be used to support the fact he was a lead singer and director of some movies (not named) and that he left the band - does this article talks about him in depth - I don't think so, does it indicate his notability - vaguely - it's more about the band and the notability is not hereditary
  • source 6 this - one mention that he was a director of a movie and a lead singer - again, the mention is rather trivial, the article doesn't talk about the subject in depth
  • source 7 this - again a short mention that he was a screenwriter and director of a film - is it significant coverage? no.
Now let's go through the 4 refs added after the nomination
  • source 1 this - can't be used as it's direct speech
  • source 2 this - this link could be used apart from the direct speech
  • source 3 this - can be used to support the fact he left the band
  • source 4 this - absolutely the same as the previous - can't be used
Further reading section
  • link 1 this - a short mention that he is a director of a film and lead singer, later couple of mentions about his voice sounding in the song. - is the coverage significant? no
  • link 2 this - single trivial mention - Tonmoy Tansen, movie director and vocalist for Vikings - not significant coverage.
  • link 3 this - he is a vocalist of the band, he direct movies - the videos can't be used as a primary source - this link would be a very weak yes, as again the mentions are pretty trivial.
  • link 3 this - 2 short mentions - he is a director of a movie and his band wrote the music - trivial mentions
  • link 4 this - one mention - Vikings famed Tonmoy Tansen’s directorial skills shines through Paddo Patar Jol.
  • link 5 this - the same article as source 3 and 4
  • link 6 this - mentions him leaving the band and returning, his vision for band's future, also that he was directing movies.
  • link 7 this absolutely the same as the previous
So, what do we have in result - there are a lot of independent reliable sources, however there is no significant coverage. What information do we get from all of these sources - 4 facts - he is a vocalist of the Vikings, he directed movies (there is no in depth coverage on him as a director), he left the band, he rejoined the band. This article is not about the band, it's about Tonmoy and his own notability. I don't believe he passes WP:GNG. Best, Less Unless ( talk) 18:40, 31 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Yes I can read Turkish. If I have time this evening I will go through and describe all the sources provided. I haven’t examined them all yet but my sense is that this is an unusual article in that the subject seems very famous for not very much - basically re-inventing the washing machine, as far as I can see. So ultimately the question for us may be what we do if lots of good Turkish sources talk about this as a great achievement, while the rest of the world is left scratching their heads.
And that's fine if the sources are all in Turkish: reliable sources may be in any language. See Wikipedia:Verifiability#Non-English_sources WhisperToMe ( talk) 09:08, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Ok this is what I have. He appears to be the a Turkish equivalent of Herbert William Hoover or James Dyson. His role as the founder of a major Turkish white goods brand isn’t clearly spelled out in the article. The sources are:
1. Substantial in depth piece by independent journalist in national daily newspaper
2. Ditto though the article is mostly about the company. Nevertheless clearly supports notability
3. YouTube video, discounted for notability
4. 5. 6. 7. 12. 18. Biography by the Bursa Chamber of Commerce, of which Tolon was a founder. It is certainly substantial and in depth. Independent in the sense that a long dead man didn’t influence its content, but not what we’d call independent scholarship.
8. 13. A book I can’t access. Looks similar to the previous one - celebratory account.
9. Is about the firm not its founder so doesn’t have a bearing on notability
10. Mentions the subject but mostly about the factory building
11. Significant coverage. I’m not familiar with Ekohaber but it doesn’t look like a junk source to me.
14. Can’t access this but it looks like probably a fairly minor mention. No opinion on the source itself.
15. Can’t access but likely to be mainly about the factory with relatively little coverage of the man
16. Quote about the subject by his grandson. Disregarding for notability.
17. List confirming he was chamber of commerce president. Irrelevant for notability.

Overall looks to me like notability is established. Mccapra ( talk) 21:06, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply
