Keep The Ethics of Postcommunism, History and Social Praxis in Russia ISBN 9780230239555 uses the term 13 times, Stefan Hedlund wrote a book "Will Putinomics be Different from Yeltsinism?" although it seems to be self published, so there is that. The book Putin's Russia Past Imperfect, Future Uncertain uses the term four times. In summary, a few minutes on google books strongly suggests this is a term, even if the article doesn't include that I've said above, efforts should be made to improve it before deleting it.

Usage of the term is not enough to write an article about it, because it makes a source a primary source. The books in fact describe just the presidency of Boris Yeltsin and should be used there, not in the article on the term.

The result was no consensus. Numerically, we're at about 15 delete to 10 keep, which is a majority but not clear consensus for deletion.
In terms of arguments, the "keep" argument is that the topic is notable because reliable sources have covered it, while the "delete" argument is that the article is an attack page created for partisan reasons, and that an article is unwarranted because all politicians lie anyway.
In my view, the "keep" arguments are stronger:
WP:GNG is a widely accepted inclusion guideline and that the topic has received substantial coverage apart from Scott Morrison's other political activities has not been contested. The arguments why the page is an "attack page" are unsubstantiated: per
WP:NPOV, we write what reliable sources write, and if they say that a politician lies a lot then that's what we write as well. The "attack" argument would therefore make sense only (and would warrant speedy deletion) if the contents of the article were not neutrally worded or poorly sourced, but that argument is not (substantively) being made here. Moreover, accusing other editors of partisanship and creating attack pages without good evidence violates
WP:NPA and
WP:AGF.
To sum up, the headcount is slightly for deletion while the arguments for keeping are quite a bit stronger than those for deletion. That being the case, there is no consensus to delete the article, and it is accordingly kept by default. Sandstein 07:47, 11 April 2022 (UTC)reply
The article is on a notable topic - Morrison's veracity has been documented and reported on by numerous reliable sources. The page's purpose is to cover what reliable sources say about Morrison's veracity, whether they be positive or negative. While much of the coverage happens to be negative, it is neither unsourced nor poorly sourced. Hypothetically, if reliable sources published positive coverage on the subject, they would be covered here. Attack pages must be both negative in tone and unsourced. The content in this article is verifiable and reliable sources are referenced.
The fact that there is a larger volume written about Donald Trump's veracity does not mean that Morrison's veracity is not a notable subject in its own right. Under the General Notability Guidelines, it is enough for the subject to have significant coverage in reliable sources without needing independent research. While telling untruths may be common among politicians, compared to other Australian politicians, Morrison's veracity has been covered in more detail and subject to greater debate, such that it can be regarded as a notable subject.

Keep A simple Google search reveals an entire archive from the country's main public broadcaster on the veracity of statements made by the Australian Prime Minister,[1] and specific articles dealing with the propensity to mislead.[2][3][4][5][6] Nor is this an issue exclusively related to claims from political opponents, there are claims as well from fellow tories.[7][8]
Comment - This is clearly an attack piece based on opinion pieces and synthetic arguments. Every politician tells untruths and ScoMo doesn't seem to be any better or worse than the average run of recent PMs, all of whom receive multiple hits in Google searaches for lying.
Julia Gillard was notable for her big lie on a carbon tax, so much so that the nickname "Juliar" gained considerable traction. Amongst her political opponents. We could, I guess, compile similar articles of similar length for recent PMs, based on the less-than-objective opinions of political opponents, inside and outside their parties. The Rudd-Gillard dynamic was particularly toxic. But we don't. ScoMo isn't in the same league as
Donald Trump mentioned above, where the challenge is not to find an untruth amongst the regular statements, it is to find something that is actually true. Sure, we have a
Veracity of statements by Donald Trump article, and a similarly-named redirect to a section in
BoJo's BLP article but I'm not seeing ScoMo as up there with those guys, especially Trump. Otherwise we'd have one for every prominent politician with enemies. Vladimir Putin doesn't have such an article and he's been dropping some cracking whoppers. This is a
pointy article by a SPE and very hard to AGF. --

None of that statement addresses the reliable sources which discuss the topic at hand. An attack page would be titled the Lies of Scott Morrison.

Keep - The topic has received coverage from many reliable sources. Publications including Guardian, ABC News, 9news, the Diplomat, the Conversation, and Crikey have specifically addressed the veracity of statements made by Morrison as a topic in its own right. Articles from these sources have been cited in the page as references. This topic has also been the subject of public debate by high-profile public figures from different sides of the political spectrum, as well as in the international community. This should indicate that it is of sufficient interest to the public to be regarded as noteworthy. The fact that what various sources have to say about the topic happens to be negative does not automatically make the article an attack page. The page exists to summarise discourse from reliable sources on the veracity of Morrison's statements regardless of whether they are positive or negative. If reliable sources published positive coverage on Morrison's veracity, that would be included in the article too.

The issue has been commented on by individuals from across the political spectrum. Discourse on the subject is not limited to statements made by Morrison's political opponents, it includes comments by fellow conservatives from the same party, individuals outside the political sphere, and foreign leaders. Calling the page an attack page does not make it one - an attack page must exist for the purpose of disparaging the subject and be poorly sourced. The page is titled Veracity of statements by Scott Morrison, leaving scope to include both positive and negative coverage of the subject matter.

WP:NPOV is important; I suspect that as the federal election campaign continues, the topic will attract more attention from unbiased and respected sources, which may help. If the consensus is to delete, however, I would recommend adding sections in the articles on

Gladys Berejiklian,

Weak keep, but God this article was badly written. I have cleaned up a lot of it, and more needs to be done. There does seem to be substantial media interest in Scott Morrison repeating falsehoods, but the question of whether the material here should be merged into the article on
Scott Morrison is just a question of the length of the text of this article. If it ends up being trimmed down to the point that it fits in
Scott Morrison, it should just be merged there: whether a standalone article for this would or wouldn't make sense is mostly a question of whether all the relevant things there are to say about the topic are too much to fit in the main article on Morrison.

Delete Morrison's false statements have been reported on before, but general coverage regarding the veracity of his statements does not appear to warrant this article. Most politicians lie, and it's normal for their lies to be documented in RS, but having an article like this requires something more special. It would require thorough analysis of his lies as a whole and substantial commentary about his pattern of lying, and that does not appear to be the case.

Delete Oh my God, this definitely needs deleting as a perfect example of what Wikipedia is not. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, meaning we define things. We don't have op/ed pieces or exposés, which is exactly what this reads like. We're not here to right great wrongs or get to some ultimate truth. There is no thing here to be defined. This is a truth hunt, and you could change the prepositional phrase "veracity of" to "truth of" in the title without altering the meaning one bit. That's not what we're here for. Imagine if we had an article (and use the term article loosely) like this on every politician. And why stop there? We could have such articles on the veracity of celebrities, science, or even religion? By golly, then we'd be just like the rest of the internet. An encyclopedia article should begin "Subject is...", and if you can't, then that's a good indication it doesn't belong. (And I'd say the same for the Trump exposé or any other like it.)

Whether or articles on the veracity of other subjects should exist is a different issue, and not the one being discussed here. See
WP:OTHERSTUFF. The question of whether this article should exist should be determined by reference to the GNG.
The article would be a ‘truth hunt’ if it consisted of original research. This is not the case. Even though the article discusses the ‘truth’ of statements made by the subject, commentary on the veracity of Morrison’s statements comes from reliable sources cited in the article, NOT original research.
While most articles start with defining their subject, this is not necessarily the case; many articles do not. You may argue that there is no 'thing' to be defined, but this does not preclude the subject matter from being the topic of an article. See these examples:
It is not an encyclopedia article. It's an exposé. These are two completely different styles of writing, and you can't simply call it encyclopedic and expect people to be fooled any more than you can cook an egg and call it fried chicken. The definition of exposé is: "report that reveals the shocking truth about something". That's what Chris Hanson from Dateline does. Encyclopedias just don't do that without being laughable. As in all exposés, despite the misleading name, the subject of this article is lying. That's a verb, not a noun, and information on lies he may have told belong in his article. Like Frickeg says below, it's an NPOV nightmare. Let me ask you, have you included any truths he may have told?
Zaereth (

As has already been stated elsewhere, should there be positive coverage of Morrison's veracity by relevant news sources or publications, that is within the scope of the article. Have you done a simple search for any notable commentary of truths he has told? I don't see many notable sources praising how honest he is, but you or any other editor is welcome to add such commentary should you find it.
Whether or not any relevant truths have been included here can be a matter for discussion, but not here. That is an issue for the article's Talk page, not AfD. Anyways, I'll indulge you on your last point briefly for the sake of the discussion. Also, see
this section which includes statements by Barnaby Joyce which actually praise his veracity, as well as
this section, which includes positive commentary by Josh Frydenberg.

The existence of the article creates the NPOV problem, not the content. A similar article could be written and adequately sourced for the vast majority of politicians (I imagine there would be sufficient sourcing for most Australian PMs and all US presidents at a minimum).

Delete. The very concept of this article is an unavoidable violation of

Responding here to both this comment and your comment above. The article itself does not pass a value judgement about Morrison's truthfulness - it merely reports on a value judgement that has been made by a consensus of other reliable sources. It would be a breach of NPOV for the article to consist of original research that made this judgement on its own. On the other hand, if a majority of reliable sources all appear to make the same value judgement (which lets say is the judgement that Morrison's truthfulness is out of the ordinary) then to have an article documenting and analysing that phenomenon should not be considered a breach of NPOV. NPOV does not prevent articles from being written about topics where majorities have passed a value judgement. To interpret NPOV in such a way is too simplistic and would prevent articles from being written about many noteworthy topics. For instance, the article titled
Propaganda in China can exist without breaching NPOV even though messaging being considered propaganda implies a value judgement has been made about it. The same could be said about the article
Enron Scandal, for something to be a scandal implies that it is wrong and outrageous. The existence of these pages and others like them imply that some value judgement is involved but they can still be written in a way that is compliant with NPOV.

Delete: I agree that this was set up as an attack page from the get-go. Just examine the language; the first sentence of the lead is "Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has made numerous false and misleading statements over the course of his political career." The final sentence of the lead is "Public perception of Morrison's tendency to deliver false statements has been seen as problematic for his political party, the Liberal National Coalition." The first sentence of the main body of text is "Scott Morrison's history of making false statements has received significant media attention, which has led to issues for Morrison with public trust and repeated criticism from the Australian Labor Party." And so on and so forth; the article presumes that Morrison is a habitual liar, rather than set forth the sources in a NPOV fashion and invite the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. Honestly, this skirts G10, well-presented or no.
Ravenswing 15:56, 8 April 2022 (UTC)reply
If you or other editors dispute the neutrality of the article, then you should go and find reliable sources with other POVs and include them in the article. As has been mentioned before, the title leaves scope for inclusion of POVs that provide both positive and negative coverage. It happens that are very few reliable sources providing positive coverage of the subject, and this should not preclude an article from being written about the topic. I see what you are saying about the language, and the first sentence has now been changed to read more neutrally and better reflect the sources. But in any case, that is an issue with the content of the article, which is separate to the question being considered at an AfD. G10 exists to cover articles where there is no sourcing, this is not the case here so G10 is not relevant.

To the extent there are any valid NPOV sources about criticisms, it hasn't been demonstrated that the existing Scott Morrison page (or subpages about the Governments he has led) are not adequate places to put that content.

Veracity of statements by Donald Trump is evidence that an article can be written on the veracity of a political figure's statements and still be NPOV. If you think the content of the article isn't NPOV, then that's a content dispute rather than something that should go in AfD.

A couple of points in reply: (1) The opening sentence still is based on an allegation that Morrison is a liar and then uses particular incidents to back that thesis up. When it uses statements like "credibility" and that sort of thing then it veers away from NPOV into attack page territory. The page is defamatory, and if Morrison wasn't a public figure used to receiving criticism it would have been deleted some time ago. (2) In terms of your arguments about content, there comes a point at which an article is so badly written in violation of Wikipedia policies that the better option is to get rid of it. This is clearly one of them. Other users have indicated that the page borders on G10 speedy deletion, which suggests it does fall into that sort of category.

To go further, some of these "examples" aren't backed up by secondary sources describing the criticism (e.g. the whole Novak Djokovic section doesn't include any sources describing any criticism of Morrison at all - it's hard to know what the "veracity" that has been challenged in fact is), are statements not attributed to Morrison at all but to others (e.g. the 2019 bushfires example which refers to a statement by his office, not by him), or are statements where there's an easily available explanation so are hardly a criticism of the veracity of the statement (e.g. the Hillsong one where statement that he "hasn't been at Hillsong for 15 years" could just be a statement that he hasn't attended it as his local church for that time, rather than not at all). The article heavily relies on opinion pieces to explain the alleged criticisms too (often as the only secondary source). It is a complete mess, and there is no other explanation than it is an attack page that violates Wikipedia policy.

No offense intended, but in my opinion even a controversy section becomes an NPOV problem for the same reason. Not only do people incorrectly use the word "controversy" ("a widespread public debate", not simply anything negative about a subject) merely walling it off in its own section or article creates an intrinsic unbalance. I like the analogy of a UPS plane. Before they load cargo on a plane, they first load it into sections called "igloos" (due to their shape). They carefully weigh each igloo, to make sure they are all balanced, regardless if one has a million packages or just one. If they load all the heavy stuff into just one igloo, the whole plane will be off balance and go down in flames. This isn't much different from
WP:BALANCE and
WP:WEIGHT, and other aspects of NPOV and NOR, including synth. Instead of walling it off in its own section, information should like this should be distributed throughout the subject's article in its proper place in the timeline of events. Same info, but now the article is balanced.

I agree the Trump "article" should be deleted as well, but I'm not going to nominate it. If someone else wants to, I'll put in my two cents. With Trump, he's a bit of a special case, in that I don't think anyone could ever accuse him of lying. I don't think he could pull off a lie with a script, cue cards, and props. The man simply has no filter; whatever goes through his mind comes out his mouth. As much as I've never liked him, even before politics, I do believe that is the one thing that made him so attractive to so many people who are on neither side. Everything he says may be completely wrong, but at least you know it's what he truly believes, and to those people this exposé will only serve to reinforce their support of him; opposite to its intended purpose. Without careful thought, sometimes these things just backfire in the face of their creators.

There's loads of articles out there with someone who played in EFL matches in the early 1900s with one, two, three appearances yet they are also notable - often as they played for clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham etc. Basically these deletion nominations are made by those making decisions on *who they think* are notable

Draftify: Per nom. Subject, as far as I can tell, lacks
WP:SIGCOV which would be required for a standalone article. Those noting he meets
WP:NFOOTY are failing to address the lack of
WP:GNG, which is required of all articles. Consensus on this topic per
WP:WINNEROUTCOMES has previously resulted in delete. That said, the subject does appear to be fairly young in his career and will likely meet inclusion criteria in the future so pushing to draft makes sense now. The only coverage I can find looks to be small, incidental, and or/routine such as
this,
this,
this,
this, etc. If draftify is not an option, then I'd vote delete.

WP:GNG due to lack of
WP:SIGCOV. This is a modern day athlete, so if there is no coverage on him in this golden age of internet coverage then he just aint yet notable (
WP:TOSOON). Whether he might have significant coverage in the future is

Comment this is a tough one - probably should be kept for encyclopaedic reasons, sourcing is pretty bad, career is ongoing but not in a fully professional league, GNG argument possible but not clear cut. Any option seems to be on the table - I'm in between weak keep and draftify. Surprised to see
WP:NFOOTY is deprecated, what the heck did I miss?!?

That's really always been the case in terms of the GNG but hopefully this will lead to better enforcement, though we didn't need to throw out all the SNGs. I can't find any slam dunk GNG sources for Burton and two of his appearances appear to have been brief. Still somewhere between weak keep and draftify.

Communist Party of Quebec, which has not been recognized by the Chief Electoral Officer since 2003, but which has run candidates in 9 general elections and is now running candidates in the federal election for the Communist Party of Canada.
In addition to sources from the group's main page or activist blogs, external sources clearly indicate that members were acting as a collective within Québec solidaire or the Parti québécois (Lavoie, Jasmin. "Des communistes séduits par PKP" [archive], La Presse, October 21, 2014) after the party lost its authorization in 2012 for lack of members.

Keep per GNG. I have not checked for reviews, which seem likely to also support a pass of
WP:NAUTHOR, but have combed through a lot of promising news articles. I was impressed to find any English-language coverage for someone so dedicated to a minority language; he has clearly been a prominent figure in his community for at least fifteen years. He gets a paragraph in Discrimination, Challenge and Response: People of North East India (p 108). He also gets several sentences in
this book review, though I couldn't find him in the book itself.
News coverage of a "a felicitation programme" in his honour (incidentally, verifies a lot of the uncited biographical material in the article, and confirms that the poet and the physicist are the same person).
This news article reports on a public lecture which analysed his poems; the article calls him "the famous tribal writer Kamal Kumar Tanti".
This news article reports that he was one of the "eminent personalities of the tea tribe's community" offering feedback to the government.
Announcement in the Telegraph that he is chosen for the National Symposium of Poets in 2015, mentions his 2008 award.
Announcement of a 2012 award.
Announcement of a 2009 award, mentioning another previous award.

The only one that is full length is slashfilm.com. That is also the only interview - quotes scattered through an article \= interview. The other two are brief articles, and the TWR one is only partly about this film - it then goes on to talk of other activities of the creators. The bloody-disgusting one is essentially an announcement that the film will be shown. That comes under
WP:ROUTINE. Interviews are not independent sources for
wp:blp articles about people, and I'm assuming (please point to the policy if I've missed it) that is true for articles about creative works that interview the creator(s). I did look up bloody-disgusting and slashfilm; the latter is stated to be reliable for the genre; I don't see a RS decision on the former.

Battle of Ivankiv). In order to besiege Kyiv from the western side they would still have to capture Bucha, Irpin, and Hostomel since all three towns/cities are literally on right on Kyiv doorstep. The existence of the Antonov Airport pretty much reinforces that.

While Russian forces did occupy the town, Ukrainian forces were still fighting for control over it and ultimately Russian forces withdrew from the town. I hardly consider that "Russian victory". Third, the reason why I created the Battle of Hostomel article is because I initially proposed changing the name of the
Battle of Antonov Airport to "Battle of Hostomel" to encompass the airport and the town. However, several editors suggested that I create a separate article instead since the airport battle has its own notability. You can check here

A Study of Holkar State Coinage — MARTAND RAO not Malhar Rao II died without any issue . Hence his widow Gautama Bai and his mother Krishna Bai adopted
Martand Rao . Martand Rao was only 4 years old and was of the same lineage as Malhar Rao ( 171 ) .
A Forgotten Literature: Foundations of Marathi Chronicles - Page 35 — The chronicler makes two persons Gautama Bai and her husband Malhar Rao - hurl at each other conflicting statements . Besides this , the two persons make an exactly balanced pair harmoniously related and complementary to each other .
@

Delete - I would tend to say this is a case of too soon. Apart from one appearance for a team in the second tier, all of his appearances have been for a team playing at the very bottom level of the Scottish League and I don't think the level of coverage is anything exceptional for a young player at this level. At 18 he could well develop to have a successful career, though other players of similar age are regularly playing in the first tier, so I would have no problem with an article being created at that point, but for now I think it has to be delete.

A press release would not criticize the pace of the show and the number of segments; this is more likely a legitimate third-party piece that got picked up by a bunch of newspapers. As noted, the show was also deemed "high quality" children's programming by the
Annenberg Public Policy Center. Although there is not a significant volume of text in that reference, it is a solid plaudit for a program of this kind. I think that's enough. We have plenty of article on crap programming, so we should work harder to keep those that were quality.

I get your point, but I'd think the performance of a song, and the song itself are basically the same thing? I mean if I read a review for a play performed by a certain cast, wouldn't that count toward the notability of the play? Is a song any different? But in any case,
[35] is very much about the song IMO. The second-to-last paragraph of
[36] gives us a few decent sentences about the song.
[37] has a couple of sentences too. Adding in the ones that are just about the performances, I think we're over the bar.

This article on a short film has no sources besides IMDb (this has been a problem since 2019 at the least). Since, per
WP:NFSOURCES, IMDb does not count as significant coverage, so
WP:NFILM is not met. My
WP:BEFORE check did not turn up anything, but a book published in 1914 (2 years after the film this article is on, and I did not find any relation) appears to be muddying up the results, so I may have missed something.

Keep most silent films are notable and so is this one with two newspaper reviews added to the article since nomination so that
WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view,
