Notability concerns with this one (and quite possibly dozens of others created by the same author) if coverage by the independently run (and defunct) online magazine with a single proprietor, Sonic Boom, isn't deemed significant.

Delete: fails WP:NALBUM. Sonic Boom is not an RS, but even if it was, the citation is talking about an entirely different album to this one, so this is effectively unsourced.

The article does not have anything of value to be listed on WP. Even under
WP:UNIV it does not stand. There are no references other than to its own website. Earlier it was put up for speedy by me because the entire article was copy vio. Unless the article can be substantially improved and referenced per WP guidelines (including the 'Notable Alumni') it should be deleted.

@
Phil Bridger: I was just asking if you had anything other than the books. I never said they were not of value, so I apologize if you interpreted it that way. @
John from Idegon: The entire article was put up for a speedy as it was a complete copy and paste, an editor removed the speedy and reverted the article to way back when. When I look at
WP:UNIV it does not meet any criteria nor does it have any sources other than the school website itself. The person who removed the speedy stated they removed it based on "all colleges and universities are de facto notable and should be included on Wikipedia" however, the rest of that states "Hence the advice is not intended to lend additional support to deletion discussions". The article has exactly one line in it "The Ajman University of Science and Technology (AUST) is a technology-oriented university in Ajman, United Arab Emirates.[1] The university was founded in 1988 as a university college. Notable alumni include Yaser Birjas." and nothing else. It had a references needed notice up there dated back a couple of years, however, I can not pull it up because the history for that part appears to be deleted (from 30 AUG 2020 to 4 SEPT 2020 is not clickable). I will not withdraw the nomination, I am sorry. This is not an article in the least.

@
John from Idegon: Instead of being rude and vague, you could have simply stated
WP:BEFORE, much easier that way. I have already stated my steps above. Now I will add that the first google book linked states what the capacity is, not how many are enrolled so that throws out "Appears significant with thousands of students (
[5])" This source (
[6]) is specifically for that area and is 12 years old and only describes the University. This source (
[7]) is an Atlas that is 7 years (or more) old. It is a brief mention of the University being in the state. Then this source (
[8]) again is only a passing mention of the University being in the area listed with other Universities. I did search for sources and there are not a lot of them of them out there. Just a basic google search only brings up it exists.

Nothing you've stated speaks to before. If you found any reliable secondary sources, your opinion of what they show are not relative. There is nothing in the SNG about an editors opinion of importance. A Google news search shows multiple reliable sources. What did your Google news search turn up? What did your Google books search turn up? Be specific and tell us exactly why you are discounting those sources. And not having done an adequate BEFORE is an excellent reason to close an AfD. I'd suggest that your completely inadequate answers here are plenty of indication of the faultiness of your nomination. Especially since you couldn't even identify a required part of an AfD nomination. You haven't even got a post on your talk page for Pete's sake. How can an editor as new as you be conversant enough with notability to nominate anything for deletion? Almost every edit you've made has been on this subject. Do you work for a competitor? This nomination stinks to high heaven.

I can see you are part of the reason why new editors do not want to be on here. You are a complete and utterly rude person. No I do not work for any college or any education institution. So what stinks is probably your own breath. I will close this because I am not wasting time with you. Why don't you use your "Has more experience on US school articles than probably any other WP editor" and make the article worth more than a sentence. PS - You can now close this and hopefully you learn some freaking manners! I mean you can't even follow talk page rules with indentation and such.

Keep!! I find it a little... unfriendly.... when people nominate/support articles for deletion in cases where (a) somebody has clearly made an effort to try and construct a proper article, (b) it's reasonably likely that the article will have to be recreated at some point in the near future (, and sometimes (c) they clearly think this themselves because they have a draft article ready to go). What harm would it do to leave it for the season and then delete it if he hasn't played a game? Lets
WP:IGNORE and leave it be. It's not doing any harm.

WP:COMMONSENSE rather than following the strict black-and-white rules that govern Wikipedia (spoiler - there's no such thing!) I wouldn't leave it for the whole season, but should get a good idea on what the likely outcome is, in a couple of days. At the same time, I fail to understand why
User:GiantSnowman continues to provide delete votes, on a player that is so likely to play soon, that they created a draft themselves! I also don't understand, after repeated requests, they don't create drafts in draft space, rather than burying them in their user space, so as to avoid wasting the time of other editors who independently start creating the same article.

Delete If I am reading this right, even in the one role where he is said to have had a "notable" role, he was cast in other roles too. That is normally a sign that your role is not notable. At least in most TV, minor roles have repeat actors, major roles do not. The one exception of course is when you have an actor play a second role that is technically seperate, but meant to be someone who looks the same. So for example in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Dean Cain at various times played a clone of Superman and an actor who was a Superman lookalike. That is not what is going on here.

There's nothing particularly special about controllers for Sega video game consoles as a whole that makes them notable enough for an article. Appropriate coverage for each controller is already included in their respective console articles, or in cases like
Menacer, in their own respective article. Sources used here are unreliable save for the Loguidice book. Not really anything to merge here, either, as all of the Sega console articles are exhaustively researched and include details about the controllers and other accessories from reliable sources in their respective articles.

About five years ago, someone translated the first two sentences of a Danish language article about this Danish company, and then abandoned it. Apparently, this corporation has just over three hundred employees and it sells eggs.Well, I nominated it for A7 today, and the reviewing sysop decided to add one (1) reference and one (1) sentence about a historic salmonella scare, and then directed me to AfD.The
Danish language version of this article may be acceptable and could be translated, but nobody has done that and
Wikipedia:Pages needing translation is so catastrophically backlogged with far more important work that I think there's little real prospect of anyone doing so for quite a few years. Until that happens, please will the community authorise its deletion. —

If one reads an article that mentions "DAVA Foods" og "Hedegaard Foods", but does not explain what the firm do, they can look it op here and see that they are Danish and produce eggs.

On the other hand, if we deleted it here, then instead of finding this microstub, they'd find the very comprehensive Danish Wikipedia article, although they might need to use google translate to read it. You're right to say that this isn't about notability; it's about a two-sentence microstub that someone generated with twenty seconds' work, five years ago, and then abandoned. I think it's an utterly disproportionate amount of effort to fix it and much simpler to delete, but if you'd rather fix it, feel free.—

Keep. I used the Danish Wikipedia article to expand it, adding a couple of references I found myself for things where their reference was irretrievable or where they didn't have one. The company does dominate the Nordic egg market (I am out of time but need to hunt down more on its size and its market share in, for example, the Faroes), and has attracted press coverage that is not all regurgitated press releases and is not all about the salmonella outbreak (I kept the one ref we had on that but didn't have time to add any of the others da.wikipedia has). I believe notability is now established.

First of all, I can't find any evidence of notability. But also, this article is such a dumpster fire of irrelevant info, unsourced claims, and incomprehensible English, that it's hard to see any benefit in keeping. Sourcing is going to be hard to come by, but if someone thinks they can manage, this probably needs to be rewritten from scratch anyway. –

Delete based on having a gander through Scholar. Uses of the term fall into two camps: a) titles of internet workshops (non-capitalized) - clearly not applicable here; b) uses of Internet Workshop as a concept - all of which are sourced to one D.

The only claim to notability in the article is winning a non-notable award. There are two sources included, but one is just in a local newspaper for the area he lives in, and the other is a one-sentence mention. Searching for additional sources turns up a handful of interviews in non-notable podcasts, and that's about it. It appears that many, if not all, of his books were self-published, and did not gain any kind of coverage or press.

The result was keep. While some editors feel that the stations should be discussed on a case-by-case basis (and they still can), there is a consensus the content is generally notable. A merger (which would be controversial) can still be discussed outside of AFD.

This is one of a large number of English local radio stations which have been closed and replaced with a national network. There does not seem to be a need for a page for all these stations - a single page listing

Comment I'd suggest demerging the nominations and dealing with each separately. If all the GHR stations were new I'd support the nominators suggestion of redirection. However, they all had a previous independent existence and the notability of each station based on its entire life, not just its latest incarnation, needs to be assessed. Doing this in one mass nomination is going to be very messy.

Keep, as these articles are needed to address the histories of so many stations at once; a merger of their contents would be a mess in the making. The GHR rollup ended the existence of a lot of separate stations—some of which were original ILR outlets, e.g.
Radio Aire, and each of which have independent notability.

Comment Maybe it would be better to keep these articles under their original station names (e.g. Peak FM, Signal 2, Radio Wave) and talk about their history in the past tense, rather than redirecting them all to "Greatest Hits Radio [area]" and treating them as currently broadcasting stations, which they aren't (the individual stations have no staff, no programming and no independent output - they serve as translators of a national network). There can be a note on each station page saying "This station was closed and replaced with

Comment I agree that we have to treat each on a Case by case basis.
1. Merged Radio stations like radio Aire and Pulse should should get new articles as opposed to one of the station articles being dissolved into a new Stations (I don’t have confidence/experience with big article changes but I am gaining confidence and knowledge to start to).
2. ‘Stations’ that are basically now a name and 10mins of content should really be in a regional article with any previous name that hold actual content be in an properly justified article. In the TFM Radio case a Hits North East article should be created which holds information on current TFM and Metro radio and the TFM article be left to history with a little note at the top to go to Hits North East for current TFM(a copy of Metro).
3. A simple rebrand for a proper station.
PS: I suggest a predecessor and successor line in info box(just use code from old countries info box) for content rich older stations. This can also be on regional info boxes and saves constantly referring to and listing old stations in articles.
Keep Deleting these articles would result in the deletion of the history of all of these stations, most of whom have been on air for more than 20 years - Minster FM (now GHR York and N Yorkshire) since 1992, Yorkshire Coast Radio (now GHR Yorkshire Coast) since 1993 and Signal Radio/Signal 2 (now GHR Staffordshire) since 1983.

This is the extreme in one-event notability. 3 of the references are incidental mentions in coverage of a political campaign by her father. The article does not do justice in putting her "appearances" with her father in that campaign in perspective. She turned 6 some time in the year he ran for president. Then we have mention of her in her father's obituary. Then we have coverage of the lawsuit over the literary rights she inherited from her father. That case was settled in her favor 19 years ago, yet we have absolutely nothing about her since. Based on her fahter's name and her name, I assume she is or was at one point married, but no one seems to have cared about that. Being heir to a literary fortune is not a sign of notability. Keep in mind that the fortune is that of her adoptive father's some sort of pseudo-mother mentors, mother. In the time Ms. Allen has been the holder of the Laura Ingalls Wilder literary legacy, Mrs. Wilder had a major literary award unnamed after her in an example of cancel culture, yet it appears that no one in that debate thought that the holder of the Wilder literary fortune was someone worth consulting about the matter. Actually on further inspection it appears her father was chosen as the heir by Mrs. Wilder's daughter because he was his political disciple. Her father actually did things with the legacy at least, producing a TV show for example. There is no evidence Mrs. Allen has done anything with it. Any mention of her we can just include in the article on her father, but I see no reason to include much since almost nothing is known. Most of what I can find in a web search is Wikipedia mirrors, some of it demonstrating just how much influence Wikipedia having an article can have and how we need to be more deliberative about the article creation process. A show of how non-notable even in the lawsuit by the Laura Ingles Wilder Library to get control of the literary estate Mrs. Allen was, it took 10 praragraphs into the article to even name her. Beyond this, Mrs. Allen has actually turned over the control of this legacy to the Little House Heritage Trust, which may or may not have her as the sole controller. This New York Post article
[11] says a little bit more about Mrs. Allen, but it says nothing about her by any normal standard, she had been the controlled of the estate for 4 years when the lawsuit was brought, yet there is no evidence she had done anything with it. We do get this short line "Miami-based MacBride suffered a fatal heart attack on March 5, 1995, at age 65, but his daughter Abigail MacBride Allen has overseen the publication of her father’s unpublished manuscripts, starting with The Other Side of the Hill (1995), Little Town in the Ozarks (1996), New Dawn on Rocky Ridge (1997) and On the Banks of the Bayou (1998). The books take Rose up to age 17 when she’s off to follow her dreams." from this source
http://libertarianstvo.org/en/personalities/item/72-rose-wilder-lane, but overseeing publication of a few works is not a sign of notability, especially when they were largely written by someone else. I am reduced to scrapping up things like this
[12] Amazon review of a book attributed to her father, but published under her perview, and the agreement here is her role in the work makde it worse, although this is a random Amazon review with no indication they even know what Mrs. Allen's actual role in the work was, so not a reliable source. We do here
[13] learn the fact that she wrote an intro to a collection of travel diaries by Mrs. Wilder, and for whatever reason she is referred to in this reference as Abigail MacBride. There is no reason to have a freestanding article on Mrs. Allen

Redirect to her father,

For what it is worth, I am less than convinced that Mr. MacBride would merit notability just for being a 3rd party candidate for US president. His clear notability pass comes from having served as a member of the Vermont Legislature (as a republican though, not a Libertarian). He was also a faithless elector, but I am not as convinced as some people are that those are notable.

As the original author of the article, I saw it as an essential piece related to the history of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Because the settings of Wilders' books are in the 19th century, there is strong cross-interest by her readers in genealogy and Midwestern history. Every year new fans ask if Laura Ingalls Wilder has any newly-living descendants. Abigail MacBride Allen is the only "descendant" in any sense of the word, since there are no actual descendants. As such, and due to legal reasons, she is the sole heir of the Laura Ingalls Wilder's literary estate. Wilders' books have sold 60-100 million copies over time, and annual sales are still very high for books published nearly 100 years ago. The TV series based on her books, "Little House on the Prairie," shows in 140 countries--even though the last episode was filmed in 1984. With this level of attention, I do not believe any "family member" (even if by legal connection) is irrelevant--especially since there is only one. In addition, this article makes Wikipedia especially valuable. There are no other sources online that have any information on Abigail MacBride Allen.
There is another aspect that concerns me with Johnpacklambert's challenge to this article. The talk discussion is a roundabout of ideas on why this person is not notable enough. One is, it is hard to find information on Abigail MacBride Allen. This is true, making the fact that Wikipedia identifies her all the more valuable. She is not notable because of her father's presidency run, he states. Also true, but the Laura Ingalls Wilder connection is. The connection to McBride the presidential candidate is an interesting aside.
A final point I would like to make is that I am concerned about Johnpacklambert's motives. I have had resistance in the past from Abigail MacBride Allen about identifying her. Is he related? Has he been asked to challenge this? We must not let Wikipedia be altered due to editors being unduly influenced to protect/anonymize a particular person. And I am certain Wikipedia would not stand for any kind of censorship. The article should remain as is. Chuck Mall 19:15, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
The above fails the rule of assume good faith. My closest connection to Abigail MacBride Allen is that when I was little (up until maybe age 7, but I might not have been that old), my neighbor kitty corner across the street was a Mr. Ingalls. He was somehow related to Laura Ingalls Wilder, descending either from a brother or a cousin of her father. He had been on the local County Line School Board, covering parts of both Troy and Sterling Townships, in 1941 when they voted to consolidate with some other local school boards to form
Warren Consolidated Schools. That was about 25 years before
Sterling Heights, Michigan was made a city. My best guess is that Mr. Ingalls was born about 1905, and was about 80 when he died, which as I said was when I was about 6. So, no, I do not have any close connection to Mrs. Allen. However I would note that Wikipedia does respect the desires of non-public figures who did a few things of very minor note when they want to not have an article on Wikipedia. However as I have said I never have communicated with Mrs. Allen. I did not know she existed before I stumbled upon her article doing a review of all articles in the 1970 birth year category, mainly with the intent of removing those articles in that category for no good reason. Wikipedia is built on reliable, secondary coverage. The purpose of Wikipedia is not to make people notable who are not, and we do not have the topic specific expertise to ourselves determine who is and who is not notable, so we follow published works in this manner. My dad read most of the Little House on the Praire Books to us while we were children, mentioning how they connected to our neighbor Mr. Ingalls, I do not think we ever actually made it through "The First Four Years". I knew before today that Mrs. Wilder had a daugther, and I knew that there had been another series written fictionalizing the life of her daughter. Before today I could not have told you who did that, who held the rights to this literary estate, if anyone held the rights to it, if any of these 80-90 year old books were still under copyright, in part because as I mentioned before when a Library Association removed Mrs. Wilder's name from one of their awards, no one in writing articles on it felt a need to hunt down Mrs. Allen and ask her what she thought of the removal of her pseudo-great grandmother's mother's name from the award.Assuming good faith in nominations is wise. I have never had contact with Mrs. Allen (I am not ever sure why her last name is Allen), I created this nomination because Mrs. Allen is not a public figure on a level that would constitute meeting any of the guidelines on notability that Wikipedia has.

I would also note that on the official Little House on the Prairie website at
[14], I can't find one mention of Abigail MacBride Allen anywhere. I would expect that if she, the rights-holder, wanted to publicize herself to Little House fans as the heir, she could do so. But the fact that she doesn't publicize herself there, nor do the people who run the Little House website discuss her on that site, suggests to me that she is a private person and we do not need to have an article about her on Wikipedia. --

Delete for lack of notability of the subject. While I am not one to shy from questioning Johnpacklambert's motives or calling out shoddy work, this nomination is a good one. To address points made above: People are interested in the Ingalls and Wilder genealogies and living descendants, but the Macbrides are heirs and passing them off as the holy descendants of the mother of American children's literature and her hack writer daughter as this article tried to do is ludicrous. Rose was eccentric and "adopted" a number of adolescent and young men when she wasn't off having other adventures. In terms of there not being other descendants, that is unencyclopedic and incorrect. There is a slew of collateral descendants of the Wilders, plus the stepchildren of Carrie Ingalls who she raised from ages c. 4 and 8. They were actually raised by an Ingalls, unlike Macbride, who came to them later. So if you're going to write fancruft or whatever they call this, get it right. I just edited the article down so it wasn't a mess of fawning over some gorgeous, mysterious heiress. The woman wishes to keep a low profile and rightfully so. The article read as stalkerish and creepy. I don't see anything wrong with citing some of these articles in relevant Wikipedia articles, but please no redirect. It's bad enough this article existed for as long as it did and will doubtless be backed up somewhere.

On the NPOSSIBLE/GNG front, we already have 2 online English-language sources, the source I already linked and

Both of these sources attest that the film was a big hit on release (not to mention that it's still generating retrospective English-language coverage 45 years after its release), meaning that there's almost certainly additional newspaper coverage (likely in Urdu, although possibly also English) available, although it would be difficult for non-Urdu speaking editors living outside of Pakistan to find. signed, Rosguilltalk15:27, 4 September 2020 (UTC)reply

But the sad truth is most of what we have is pure plot / appearances fancruft, and most of the reception we find is both in passing and not in our articles anyway. Sigh. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

@
Piotrus: I could get behind that idea. The Fourth World article could use a good impact/reception section- there is certainly real-world information out there about the concept as a whole, if not all the individual characters and locations.

Keep: "
Hell Hath No Furies", a two-page article in The Collected Jack Kirby Collector, Volume 1 (TwoMorrows Publishing, 2004) about the gender power balance on Apokolips. Yes, before you say that it's plot information, it does include descriptions and explanations of fictional material — and then it reflects on that material, doing textual analysis on a particular theme. That's what you do, when you write analysis of fiction. Similarly, the article "
Love of Anti-? Life" in The Jack Kirby Collector #71 (2017) analyzes the meaning of several major Fourth World concepts, including Apokolips. Check out page 30: "No one on Apokolips evolves spiritually because there is no love. It is a stagnant society, its inhabitants living in ignorance, the legacy of oppression." This is also not plot information; it is lit-crit analysis. For my third of
WP:THREE, The Comics Journal #175 (March 1995) has an article about Kirby's work and influence. I can only see a snippet view, but the snippet of page 76 shows the first part of a passage that looks like analysis: "Kirby tells us what the citizens of Darkseid's realm feel about their lot in life: 'Apokolips is an armed camp where"... I think there's a good chance that that passage is going somewhere significant. I believe that this demonstrates that analysis of Kirby's work focuses on Apokolips as a significant concept. —

The result was delete. General consensus is that this, while an interesting topic, has not been discussed enough to be notable, seems to be both OR and an essay.
Eddie891TalkWork12:59, 12 September 2020 (UTC)reply
Not verifiably notable. This essay has been unsourced since its creation in 2006 by an editor who has not edited since 2011, and has been tagged as unsourced since 2007. I came across it while stub-sorting because another editor had labelled it recently as a Stub, which it certainly isn't.
While the phenomenon discussed undoubtedly exists, there is no evidence that it has been recognised as a named entity, or given this name (which does not appear in the Oxford English Dictionary, while terms such as "retroactive continuity" and "retroactive inhibition" are included). Google search seems only to produce mirrors of this article, including a couple of YouTube videos of the article being read out by computer, and the option to buy a 92-page paperback book of the article for $67.53 from Australian Amazon, but no other use of the term. This suggests that the term has no notability, or indeed existence beyond Wikipedia. The talk page shows a couple of grumbles about the article from 2010 and 2011, but no-one seems to have suggested deleting it until now. Although there is no inter-wiki link in the left sidebar, Wikidata shows that there is a
Spanish wikipedia article ... created by apparently the same editor, in April 2009 - one of his only 10 edits on that Wikipedia, 2006-2009.
Some of the content, if sourced, might fit into
Anachronism, but that article has no mention of this phenomenon (on a quick scan for "nomenclature" or "name").
It's slightly sad to see an interesting article disappear, but there seem no grounds on which this article ought to be appearing in our encyclopedia. I suggest that the time has come to delete it.
PamD15:32, 19 August 2020 (UTC)reply
Delete. The strongest argument for deletion is OR, which this article certainly is, given the available Ghits. Google Ngram comes up with zero occurrences. That's sufficient grounds for a deletion. Also the article is also completely unsourced as you might expect, a dictdef at best (if the term even existed outside of wikipedia), non-notable, its examples are a mess, and -- that seems like enough said. --

Comment This is a bit tricky. As the nominator notes, the phenomenon definitely exists (the example that immediately springs to mind for me is Octavius/Octavian/
Augustus) and I agree with the comment above in that I think it is most likely notable, even if this term might not be used. The lack of use of this specific term of course makes it difficult to search for sources. Of course,
WP:Notability depends on the existence of sources and not whether they are actually cited in the article per
WP:NEXIST, and I'm inclined to give this article the benefit of the doubt in this regard (because I too feel like I have come across discussion on this, though I cannot recall exactly when or where). I don't think this qualifies under
WP:DELREASON#6 as a neologism, because the article is about the concept as opposed to the term. It might however qualify under
WP:DELREASON#7 (Articles for which thorough attempts to find
reliable sources to
verify them have failed). Even then, I am tempted to go with an
WP:IAR keep, because I honestly think that the existence of this article improves Wikipedia (even in its current, unsourced state). It might be appropriate to change the title, but I have no suggestion as to what the new title should be in that case.

A Google search did actually turn up a few uses of the term that are not from mirrors of this article. These uses are not all necessarily from
WP:RELIABLE sources (such as
this forum thread where somebody says Back in my day, we called it "hard rock." Hair metal is a retroactive nomenclature. We didn't call it hair metal then, but it sure is called that now.), but I would like to draw your attention to
this source, which says We can look back on past actions of others and interpret what they did as an act of self-improvement, but if the concept of self-improvement did not exist yet, can what they did accurately be characterized as self-improvement? (Bochner, 1994) Nevertheless, this type of retroactive nomenclature says something about the attitudes that have prevailed since the beginning of the Twentieth Century. I also found not
one, but
two uses of the term "retroactive nomenclature" to mean
retronym.

Yes this is a common thing with the Roman imperial people, they're often known best by a single name but had many during their life (and a lot of the time some of their names were also the exact names of at least one of their relatives, which leads to a heap of confusion, hence why historians tend to stick with their best known name even if its
anachronistic).

Delete Sadly, while I initially agreed with TompaDompa comments above - that while this appears to be a concept that does exists, there are examples of it.....and the sort of thing there should be a page on. However I tend to now agree with other editors, the problems is, there isn't actual published discussion of the concept, and this article tends to be synthesis of different examples, with no overall commentary on the concept published.

Delete This is an essay with valid sources for each individual cited case, but no source which covers the topic in a general way. While the phenomenon certainly exists, no source has been presented that support its
WP:notability, and the non-prevalence of the term "retroactive nomenclature" already has been shown. So it is genuine OR. Changing the page title won't change this, only reliable sources could do so. –

Delete, regretfully. I agree that this stuff is a) interesting and b) descriptive of a real phenomenon, as demonstrated by multiple examples. However, as long as there is no outside treatment of the topic under a unified term, we can't go ahead and collect these examples and assign a name to them. There's some overlap with
retronym and maybe some of the material could be treated there, but again that would require someone (not us) explicitly and verifiably making that connection. --Elmidae (

So many

No. Did anyone raise the topic of what it would mean to be above or below the "average" of a tiny unrepresentative group? No. Also, and importantly, "median" doesn't mean the same thing as "average." Chapman is below the median for all law schools rated by US News -- not because someone took an average of law school "quality" and Chapman had less -- but because when ranking all law schools from the best down to the worst, more than half of all law schools are better than Chapman. (And fewer than half of all law schools are worse than Chapman.) Being below the median of a large representative group of one's peers is not exactly a position of honor. This does not imply that a law school at or barely above the median would be "major" in the sense of having "
a reputation for excellence or selectivity."

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, not for Tim Canova. Redirecting his name to the 2016 Senate election (and adding more specific info if needed to DWS's article) loses nothing of value to our readers.

@
Hullaballoo Wolfowitz: If you missed
my earlier policy citation, NPROF defines what it means by a "major" institution: "Major institutions, for these purposes, are those that have a reputation for excellence or selectivity." Considering what a high bar NPROF sets with the other 8 possible criteria e.g. "a highly prestigious academic award at a national or international level," it is unlikely they intended to drop the bar so low as Chapman Law School when specifying a chair at a "major institution." Having antique Nobel laureates on the faculty is associated with a wealthy institution, not necessarily one that has a reputation for excellence or selectivity.

You created an article in 2018 about
Gina Ortiz Jones, who had won the Democratic nomination for Congress and subsequently lost.
[22] She is trying again this year. While her campaign received local coverage, it was not covered in national media. Even though she got further along in the process than Canova, just being nominated does not guarantee notability per WP:POL. Why do you think she is notable, while someone who received far more media attention is not? The main difference I see is that Canova took on the party establishment while they supported Jones. But that's why he received more coverage in reliable sources.

Thanks @
The Four Deuces: for another example, of which you can see more in
Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Gina_Ortiz_Jones. Jones herself, not the race she had run in, met the criterion of 'A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists' described in Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#cite_note-note6-8. Unlike Canova, where "running against DWS" got significant coverage, in the case of Jones it was SHE, the candidate, who got significant coverage for being an unusual candidate of particular interest, in (among others, and talking only about sources I found in 2018) Harvard Political Review, Huffpo, Ozy (magazine), ABS-CBN, news stories that include long quotes from the subject and in-depth material about her life, with shorter articles in Teen Vogue, and Time Magazine.
[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] If there were similar number and focus of stories in-depth about Tim Canova, I would not have nominated this article for AfD. IMO, the GNG exception to NPOL is when a CANDIDATE is notable separately from his/her campaign, not when one got multiply mentioned in the context of a notable contest.

I don't see any real difference. Take your reference to
"U.S. Rep. Will Hurd gets first major Democratic challenger for 2018" in the Texas Tribune. It's a brief article in a local paper saying that Jones is challenging Hurd. There are numerous articles about Canova challenging DWS. Your article from ABS-CBN is an opinion piece,
[38] which cannot be used to establish notability. Meanwhile, Canova has received in depth coverage for example in the Miami New Times (
"Inside Tim Canova's Bernie-Fueled Bid to Upset U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz".) Also, the focus of the coverage on articles about Jones is her sexuality, with little or no coverage of her political views, which is an important element in biographies of politicians. And it goes over the jobs she has held without saying what she accomplished in them. Accomplishments are also a major part of any biography. You could say that Jones is notable because she is a lesbian challenging a conservative Republican in Texas, while Canova is notable because he was a progressive challenging an establishment Democrat in Florida.

The difference is not in routine local coverage, which both got. The difference is national interest in GOJ's unusual characteristics. She did not get national coverage as "a lesbian." HuffPo and TeenVogue were inspired by her hardscrabble background ("A first-generation American, Ortiz Jones and her sister, who is currently serving in the navy, were raised by a single mother who worked multiple jobs after emigrating from the Philippines."
[39], "Trump’s plans to gut education and housing aid hit too close to home for Jones, as someone who relied on reduced-cost school lunches and subsidized housing when she was a kid being raised by a single mom in San Antonio."
[40]) HarvardPolitics and emphasized the role of her military career as "a path to the American Dream."("For Gina Ortiz Jones, the military was more than just a career...Ortiz Jones won an ROTC scholarship to study at Boston University; after graduation, she served a total of more than 15 years in the U.S. Air Force and the national security sector."
[41]) Despite much more coverage than TC ever got, GOJ's first AfD closed as No Consensus and
the second closed as "Redirect." (although
Sandstein restored the article in June 2018.) Clearly GOJ got more coverage and more widespread GNG-caliber coverage than TC, and yet GOJ was not a slam-dunk "Keep." Neither is TC a slam-dunk GNG Keep, and I would like to see examples of in-depth coverage of TC rather than examples of routine local coverage of GOJ. That one
local article cited by TFD is one in-depth example, although very closely tied to the a single campaign. For GNG, TC would need two more.

Keep Even if we disregard everything related to the World Economic Forum, I believe the sufficient notability of this subject can still be argued. Concerning the basic criteria of significant coverage in
WP:BASIC, there are now 23 sources in the article. Conceding that most of them (or even all) do not provide very in depth coverage, the policy allows for this situation: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability".
On the additional criteria in
WP:ANYBIO, I believe that applicability of point 1 could be debated, depending if the awards are "minor" or not. Perhaps grounds for point 2 ("a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field") are stronger, with the specific field being the renewable energy industry in Africa. Not sure about the historical record though, maybe too soon to tell. But in anycase, the additional criteria is not mandatory, but can help to a degree.

I was wary about placing weight on an interview. But, in this case, it's from one of the world's largest and most respected news organizations. Concerns we'd ordinarily have about a publicist getting free advertising from a periodical through an interview do not appear relevant when we're talking about the
BBC. I see no particular reason why a video from a respected news organization should not be used as a source, although I agree that it's not fantastic. In sum, I read the fact that she was interviewed by the BBC as an indication that a reliable, third party media organization thought she and her work were sufficiently important to devote a substantial segment to. But, again, I agree that it's not a great source—hence why my keep is still weak.

Delete, obviously without prejudice against recreation after election day if he wins. It is not Wikipedia's job to maintain articles about as yet unelected candidates in future elections: the rule is not that all of the candidates get articles now and then after election day we delete the ones who lost, it is that we wait until the election is over before we start articles about any of the new winners. Wikipedia is
not an advertising platform for aspiring future notables to publicize themselves or their campaigns — and simply having spoken at the convention is not in and of itself a notability criterion either. Anybody who watched the speech and wanted to find out who this guy is will find his campaign materials and campaign coverage on the web as it is, so there's no need for us to suspend our rules in order to curate that content for them. We don't do "temporary notability pending the outcome of a future event that may or may not erase it" — we wait until his passage of a permanent notability criterion has already been secured before he's allowed to have an article, and for politicians that means holding a notable political office and not just running for one.

Candidates get articles only in one of two specific scenarios: either (a) it can be properly demonstrated that they already passed another inclusion guideline independently of their candidacy, so that their preexisting notability renders the fact that they haven't gotten over NPOL yet as irrelevant, or (b) it can be properly demonstrated that their candidacy is much more special than most other people's candidacies, in some way that would pass the
ten year test for enduring significance. The mere fact that a candidate has some campaign coverage is not in and of itself enough to exempt a candidate from having to pass NPOL, because every candidate always has some campaign coverage — which means that every candidate would always get that exemption and nobody would ever actually have to be measured against NPOL at all anymore. But even
WP:NAUTHOR is not automatically passed just because his book exists — notability as a writer requires things like noteworthy literary awards, and/or considerably more critical attention being paid to the books than either his BLP or the book's article (which is sourced two-thirds to
primary sources and podcasts rather than reliably sourced evidence of notability as a book) is actually showing.

While I suppose you are entitled to your opinion, you are not entitled to say your interpretation of the guidelines is the only correct interpretation. In particular, the 10 year test is highly subjective, to be almost worthless. I can say people will care in 10 years, and you can say the opposite, and neither of us can be absolutely right. And I never claimed that NAUTHOR was passed simply because the book exists, that is you putting words in my mouth. The book has been reviewed in several notable newspapers/periodicals that it deserves an article. And Parnell has been profiled in several reliable sources owing to his military/writing career to deserve a page. In short, he is not a typical small-time candidate, like a lawyer or city councilman, whose only claim to fame is being a candidate for office. And I don't support keeping this article because I agree with his candidacy, since I oppose the majority of Parnell's political positions, but rather on the sourcing that exists on the man. ~EDDY(

Keep or redirect to Outlaw Platoon The question in my mind is whether the subject meets
WP:Author.
Outlaw Platoon is a memoir, which is increasingly citied in academic works (from a
review in "The Army Lawyer" to being used as an
exemplar of military narrative in the Scandinavian Journal of Military Studies). Certainly all of this points toward the book being notable. While in certain cases it is possible to separate the book from the author, the memoir format of the subject's work and the fact that the subject is the author of three additional works published by
William Morrow and Company makes the subject notable for being an author (see
this review). --

And the argument that notability of a candidate must be establised "independently of their candidacy" is just plain fraudulent: it's never been part of any actual policy or guideline, and a recent proposal to add it to NPOL has gone down in flames, with nearly unanimous opposition. The !votes embracing this principle are groundless and should be discounted by the closer.

WP:AUTHOR. The two reviews are by defunct and apparently unreliable sources, and the award for which she (he?) was nominated is from Reviewers International, for which I can find no trace.

Keep. Romantic Times closed in 2018, but for decades they were one of the premier publications covering the romance novel genre and hosted a large industry-wide convention every year. Being nominated for a Romantic Times award was a big deal. Road to Romance was likewise a well-known and respected publication focused on romance novels.

Keep per Karanacs's well reasoned and well researched argument. Archives of Reviewers International (which also seems to be defunct) can be found
here.

Delete - There does not appear to be any actual reviews or substantial coverage from reliable sources at all on this book. I was going to suggest a redirect to the author's article, but upon looking into that, I don't believe the author is notable either.

Redirect to
Adam Maxwell. I've also been unable to find significant coverage of the book, but I don't think the author is so plainly non-notable that a redirect wouldn't be useful (see the profile in the Evening Chronicle cited in this article, and the profile in the Northern Echo cited in the biography), especially if a sentence or two on the book can be added to the author's article. –

This private school with no evidence of coverage or being accredited or such seems to fail
WP:NORG. Previously prodded by
User:PKT in 2012, deprodded by the creator, hasn't been improved since. Other languages are a bit longer but not much and the coverage is either missing or, from what I can Google Translate, very sparse too. Can this be rescued? Also, the biography of the school creator,
Kiko da Silva looks very bad but it, at least, has better interwikis (if anyone here speaks Spanish etc. and would care to comment on whether that bio should stay or if it needs its own AfD, that would be appreciated too). But as for this school, at best, I think we could redirect it to his bio? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

It is conceivable that his company is notable, but clear that he individually not. 30 under 30 is a pr award, and does not indicate even importance. DGG (

One of over a million charities in the US.
[53] Human rights in Bangladesh is a worthy cause, but that doesn't make the charity
notable.
Of the cited sources, only Star Weekend Magazine is significant coverage in an independent, reliable, secondary source. The Christian Science Monitor contains only one sentence about Drishtipat, which profiled itself (note the use of "our" and "we") and responded to facile interview questions in Culture Connect, the magazine that is the main subject of the CSM article. The Daily Star doesn't mention Drishtipat. The remaining four sources are written by Drishtipat or its executive director, Asif Saleh. (Coincidentally, the Wikipedia article was written by an
Asifsaleh.)
Searches of the usual Google types, EBSCO, Gale, JSTOR, and ProQuest, found brief mentions, but only one other piece of significant coverage in an independent, reliable source: India West published an article on 8 February 2002 about a fundraiser in the San Francisco Bay Area, attended by about 200 people, that raised $9,000.
Drishtipat's tax exempt status was revoked in 2014 for failure to file tax forms for three consecutive years.
[54] Its 2010 filing showed revenue of about $54,000. By contrast, notable human rights charities
Human Rights Watch and
Amnesty International respectively reported revenue of $42 million and $37 million that year. It seems Drishtipat never got big enough to attract significant attention by the world at large.

Speedy Delete Nada. Nothin. Big fat zero. That's how many casual mentions I found, except I did find the dead link at
[55] which is an interview with the band The Desert Fathers, which operated this label. I certainly found no in-depth, independent, reliable coverage anywhere. The label has had no roster of notable artists, no indication they've had any regional or genre impact on the arts. Therefore not "one of the more important indie labels" according to NMUSIC #5. Fails NCORP, if you think that applies to record labels, and fails GNG. Oh, and by the way, the article is 90% a copyvio of said archived link, it is a verbatim quote from that article.

Delete None of the sourcing is even remotely close to being reliable and 3rd party. This is a huge problem we have with record label articles. With my current limit of 1 article nomination per day, I could spend the rest of the year nominating articles on record labels sourced only to the webpage of the record label and or social media cruft, and would not even scatch the surface.
