Could not find third party coverage to meet WP:ORG. Previously considered in AfD under different name: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Friends of Vinh Son Montagnard Orphanage. LibStar ( talk) 23:05, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- Delete – the sources currently cited in the article aren't independent of the subject, and my search didn't find anything that moves the needle much in terms of notability. There are a few pieces in local outlets (e.g. [1]), but I'm not convinced they satisfy the independence/sigcov requirements of WP:NORG. Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 06:03, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Worth noting, as Oaktree suspected, that since 1919 "The Daily Bruin has served as UCLA’s main campus newspaper for students and members of the university" which effectively rules it out as independent/reliable.

Launched as AFD as in my opinion, notability is borderline and PROD is likely to be contested. None of the sources cover the person in depth, and the sources only cover what they are doing (opening restaurants, creating social media app, etc.) but none of them cover them in depth. Per WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:GNG the article does not pass notability. Thank you. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 00:24, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Does not meet WP:GNG, no relevant results on Google Scholar, internet searches or Google Books for various formulations of the gun's name in both English and Spanish. The article was translated without attribution from es.wiki; looking at that page's history, half of the information isn't even attributable to the single, inaccessible, cited source that I sincerely doubt the translator verified. signed, Rosguill talk 23:59, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- So far, I haven't found any independent, reliable sources, even on the Spanish version of the article. And, the only info I can find on an GMC pistol is for an American rifle. So, sorry but until there are independent, reliable sources to be found, I must vote delete. If some independent, reliable sources are found, then I will change my vote.

[2],
[3], and

The only thing I could find is this and while I don't think a DistroWatch listing shows notability in any way, I can maybe see an argument that a review like this would be different, but that was the best I could find and as far as anything that would even begin to show notability for the subject is concerned, it's all I could find. A single review in a questionable source is not enough to establish notability as required by WP:GNG, and the article's subject meets none of the criteria of WP:NSOFT. - Aoidh ( talk) 03:22, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

- Keep I recognize that the cited sources do not present much text about this organization, but the claims that those sources make are significant. This organization plays key roles recognized by journalists in a range of high profile political conflicts. WP:SIGCOV is a reason to exclude sources which having passing mentions of news items. Several of these cited sources, though brief, describe the subject of this article as a power influencing the outcomes of elections. Also this content is not promotional - we have sources with a range of perspectives on this organization's projects. I think this passes WP:GNG. Bluerasberry (talk) 21:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

A list article with no sourcing or any indication of why it might be notable. I was inspired by this article to draft one about Gravis UltraSound-compatible games, but determined that neither can be expanded to include a decent prose as to why the technologies are noteworthy in video gaming, as corroborated by my searches not yielding enough sources dedicated to the technologies.

- Comment Not withstanding a search for sources that comes up empty, I wonder if this might meet
WP:LISTN, as that requires that
the entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been.
I know that retro gaming YouTubers like LGR and PhilsComputerLab have done dedicated videos on the MT-32, as well as other vintage sound hardware like the Gravis UltraSound. While we can't cite those videos directly, there might be sources mentioned within those videos that meet our criteria for RS and would demonstrate the notability of the set such that LISTN would be satisfied and a list of these games would be appropriate.

- Delete Seems to be entirely original research without any sources. This belongs on a gaming site, not Wikipedia. Reywas92 Talk 15:45, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep The notability of the Roland MT-32 article has not been in question so far, so it is unclear to me why a list of games supporting it should require a separate indication of notability. We do not require a list of video games released for a particular video game system to have a an indication of notability, separately from the article on the video game system itself, either, do we? If the question is "What makes MT-32 support more notable for games than support for the Covox Speech Thing or the Adlib Gold 1000?", then I would consider it already answered in the "Music for PC games" section of the Roland MT-32 article.
- As for the lack of sourcing, I do not see a source for every release date on every "List of games released for system X" either, so I question the strict enforcement of this policy against this particular list. Even if the requirement were to be enforced, it would be much easier to fulfill (by linking to box scans on MobyGames listing the MT-32 as a supported sound device) than a hypothetical requirement for a source for every single release date on the "List of games released for system X" pages would be. The link to the MobyGames list as a source is poorly-formatted at this time, but that can be easily mended. NewRisingSun ( talk) 20:49, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 18:58, 2 November 2022 (UTC)- To all the deletionists: what are you guys hoping to achieve by deleting this page, really? More disk space? Less "noise"? Conforming to some idealised "19th century encyclopdia" concept of yours?
- I'm a pragmatic person and I see Wikipedia as a wiki collecting information that's useful to people. Whether some of you people like that or not, that's how it's being used. The 18th-19th century concept of a "classic encyclopedia" has long been surpassed, I find it actually a little silly that the word "encyclopedia" is still kept in the official description of the site. E.g. I routinely come to Wikipedia to check out the synopsis of a particular episode of a TV series (please count how many such lists exist on WP!), or the list of games that use Unity, or lists of films released in a particular year, or the list of joint winners of the Nebula and Hugo awards, or... the list games that support the MT-32! In fact, I came to Wikipedia to check out lists far more frequently than anything else.
- Seconding NewRisingSun's irritation; it's fine if you want to delete your own page, but this list has been lovingly maintained over 15 years by the same single guy, and has garnered more than 100k page views. Please leave it alone. Surely, the popularity of a given page should be factored into such decisions. People are clearly interested in this page, without the shadow of a doubt. Can you imagine how many other sites are linking to it? By deleting it, all those links would be broken... Again, what do you hope to accomplish by deleting other people's work?
- All in all, this is an inconsistent and completely arbitrary attempt to remove a page that's an extremely useful resource for DOS gamers. And if we're questioning the significance of the Roland MT-32 itself, well, I don't even know what else to say...
- Moreover, "references" could be added by linking to MobyGames or some other site. But come on, how would that be helpful? That's just creating busywork... GanymedeanSlimeMold ( talk) 03:30, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

- On determining notoriety, Wikipedia has many interesting lists. For example, the video game Guitar Hero III has a separate page dedicated to inventorying its soundtrack. That's one game, at one point in time, by one publisher. In comparison, from the late 80s through the mid-90s, famous musicians used Roland's MT-32 to compose game soundtracks because it offered the most realistic instrument reproduction, without equal. Game publishers targeted Roland's MT-32 across 13 separate PC platforms, from Atari to the Macintosh, and it was popular in Japan, Europe, and the Americas. As a co-maintainer of DOSBox Staging, one of many DOSBox software forks that use Munt, an MT-32 emulator, I can attest to the fact that many users refer to this page to learn about the games that contain MT-32 soundtracks. This information is highly valuable and of historical significance for retro PC historians and gamers alike. 99.199.156.216 ( talk) 01:43, 3 November 2022 (UTC) kcgen
- Delete per WP:NOTCATALOGUE. It is not encyclopedic to know every single game that supports a specific sound hardware. Ajf773 ( talk) 08:29, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Given the large number of notable existing video-game-related list articles ("by technology or feature"), such a blanket reference to the very general the "Wikipedia is not a directory" policy cannot sufficiently justify the deletion of a particular video-game-related list article without also explaining what makes this list different from and more delete-worthy than all these other video-game-related lists. NewRisingSun ( talk) 19:06, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- May I also express my irritation at the thinking behind "I questioned the notability of my own article and therefore decided to nominate somebody else's article for deletion"? NewRisingSun ( talk) 19:06, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Apart from
WP:N, can someone explain the significance of this? I get the
lists for each platform, but lists for each component? Why is this much different from, say, "list of games that support 1024x768 resolution" or "list of games that support an XBox 360 controller", apart from perhaps the smaller overall number. I'm inclined to say delete on
WP:NLIST and
WP:NOT grounds... —

- This is an extremely important list if you're playing classic DOS games because it tells you which MT-32 ROM version you need to use for each game that has MT-32 support. Figuring out that information is not trivial, to say the least. Also, some games claim they're MT-32 compatible, but in fact they're not; they need a General MIDI compatible device to play the music correctly.
- In general, I'm firmly of the opinion that the deletion of a particular page should NOT be decided by people who need explanations why a particular page is important or significant. Let's leave that to the experts on that particular topic. E.g. I don't know much (or care) about chemistry or history, so I won't go and suggest chemistry or history related pages for deletion, precisely because I don't have a clue about what's important and what isn't. I'm leaving that to the experts who are maintaining those pages and rely on their decisions.

- As I have written above (and which you have failed to acknowledge), the answer on why MT-32 support is more notable than other sound standards is provided in the [
"Music for PC games" section of the Roland MT-32 article]. Furthermore, as I have also explained, it is very uncommon to list the notability of a list on the list's article page itself, since the notability of the list largely is a consequence of the notability of the subject enumerated by the list. You have failed to acknowledge that aspect as well. Overall, the deletionists' case here relies on making blanket statements linking to the most general versions of Wikipedia policy while deliberately ignoring both the points that were already raised and how this list compares to the many similar lists that I have already linked to. I suggest that anybody who feels the need to excrete yet another pointless link to "WP:N" to this discussion page first take the time to actually read the points that were made.

- Notability is about coverage in independent reliable sources. But more saliently, you're pointing me to a section of an article with no sourcing whatsoever. Notability isn't "what's important" or "what's useful" but "what has received significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject". If there have been various articles, etc. about the MT-32 and games, that's what will persuade the evil "deletionists". —

- I would be adding one or two references to "Computer Gaming World" from the early 1990s, and to Sierra On-Line catalogues for the Sierra-specific statements, to the existing statements in "Music for PC Games"; I would not be adding any new statements.
- If it cannot be predicted with a degree of certainty whether this, or any given sourced statement, will or will not trigger notability, then that is a sign that "notability" in this context is a concept too nebulous to concern oneself with. In this context, I alert you to this revealing statement from [6]: "There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y")." In short: good luck, you will need it.
- Also, contradicting your statement that usefulness does not confer notability, the same policy page also states that "Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability.", followed by the incomprehensible sentence "Editors are still urged to demonstrate list notability via the grouping itself." What do I learn from this? At least in the context of lists, the notability requirement is a complete shitshow, causing not traumatization, but certainly frustration.

WP:V is non-negotiable. None of the keep arguments are even coming close to acknowledging or addressing this fatal shortcoming. We don't keep articles based on vague grumblings about not liking to delete things, or

I also said that "I would be adding one or two references to "Computer Gaming World" from the early 1990s". For example: "Re-Sounding Personal Computers" by Rich Heimlich, Computer Gaming World Issue 12/1990, pg. 60pp: "The MT-32 is based on MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), a standard already established in the music industry. It uses a technology known as linear Arithmetic Synthesis which enables the MT-32 to generate 32 voices of sound. Not only does the MT-32 have 21 more voices than an AdLib card, but it also benefits from the superior LAS technology. This allows for the most realistic sound available in computer gaming today. The MT-32 is like having a complete orchestra in your computer. It is so impressive that when this reviewer recently played Space Quest III using an MT-32, his jaw almost dropped to the floor. The experience is like living a dream." Is that sufficient notability? I am not going to waste time on more sources if it becomes clear that nothing will satisfy this (in the context of lists) nebulous requirement. And that you stated that you don't believe that it can be reliably sourced strongly hints at that outcome.

But it's not particularly the duty of AFD participants (let alone someone who opposes your stance) to teach you Wikipedia policies. I'm not required to do anything more than give a policy-based stance and explain it well enough that the closing admin can understand it. I am not your mentor, teacher, or parent. Its up to you to learn, understand, and apply policy. That said, part of the issue here isn't even Wikipedia jargon. It's that there's a disconnect between your source(s) and the discussion taking place here today. You presented a fine source for explaining the notability of the subject of the Roland MT-32. That would have been a great piece of evidence if someone had nominated the Roland MT-32 article itself for deletion. But the Roland MT-32 article is not up for deletion. The list of games is.

The sources also describe the duellist's distinguished naval career in nineteen battles, and he's clearly the main focus of all the sources, so it makes sense to have an article on the man rather than the duel.

- Weak delete If he had a "distinguished naval career" we should be seeing more distinguishing stuff about it. The duel is interesting, but not terribly notable. I'd don't think he'd be at GNG without the duel, not sure that adds much to it. If he wasn't in the Navy, a guy who dies in a duel but does nothing outside of that wouldn't be GNG.

- Can you explain why you think the sources above don't give significant coverage? The last source I linked goes into his naval career in some detail. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 ( talk) 18:29, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- It's a fine source, but it seems to be the only one about the Navy, I didn't consider the ones discussing the duel particularly detailed. He was in the English Navy, I'd expect something to be found in the Royal Navy archives if he was that "distinguised". It's almost at GNG, if we had another source for the naval information I'd feel more comfortable offering a GNG. Oaktree b ( talk) 00:49, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep I think there's enough for notability: there were reports of the duel at the time across the country, for example Caledonian Mercury - Monday 07 May 1792 (registration reqd), Notes and Queries from 1924 has a couple of pages about the duel and seems he was regarded as a naval hero: Catching smugglers, an expedition against the French and intercepting merchant ships... the fascinating tale of a naval hero and Illustrated talk on Charmouth’s village’s tragic naval hero Piecesofuk ( talk) 14:22, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

- Weak delete - sorry, but I can't see anything beyond local interest here. James Warden doesn't seem to be notable in any wider sense, despite a couple of over-enthusiastic headlines, and the duel doesn't seem to meet WP:EVENT. Ingratis ( talk) 14:46, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Seems to meet GNG.
This source from Piecesofuk is significant. Here's
another book which discusses his navy career, although I don't have access to much of it. Here's another
book that discusses his duel, also not mentioned so far. This (unsourced but)
detailed article discusses his navy career (he captained the HM Adventure (
verification) and the HM Wells (
verification)), and much more. In light of Ficaia's earlier findings, I think we have GNG.
Oaktree b, do you think so?

- Comment - I don't agree. None of these goes beyond local interest. The main source of information is the memorial inscription in the churchyard; the rest are passing mentions only (he commanded X ship, he commanded Y ship: not notable), not the coherent accounts / research that would satisfy GNG. The story of the duel is repeated with very few changes from one source to another, and is on the level of a curiosity, sparked by the unusually long memorial inscription. The story in the Bridport News is about a local talk, and repeats pretty much the same information plus some extra genealogy. Not everything old is notable, however often it's repeated.

- Significant coverage, according to GNG, is that which
addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content.
It would certainly be nice to have more detail; but what we have is enough to write a balanced, accurate, and sufficiently-detailed article, which is what GNG is, in part, intended to ensure. Arbitrarily0 ( talk) 12:25, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Frankly it light of the sourcing presented in this discussion I think WP:GNG is easily met. Sources found the man sufficiently of note to write about him during his life, at his death, and again more than 120 years later. Ficaia's sourcing alone is in my opinion sufficient, and the Bridport News story cements it. I think that the man is more notable than the duel; while it wouldn't be enough alone, his naval career, including twice holding command at sea, adds to his notability.

WP:NACTOR states an actor is notable if they
Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions
. The actor probably had a significant role in My Boys, which is notable and has a Wikipedia article. Otherwise, I couldn't see other roles that obviously meetssignificant roles
. On WP:GNG- unfortunately, the Deadline ref only mentions this person three times while listing the cast (non-SIGCOV). Further, the CNN ref is announcement-like with primarily quotes, and is IMO only debatably WP:SIGCOV. My WP:BEFORE search found lots of hits on News where Jamie is listed as a cast member, but these are trivial and insufficient in my opinion for WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. Finally, sorry but there is established consensus on WP:RSP that IMDb isn't RS and doesn't contribute to notability, see also a related RfC at RSN. One of the keep votes asserted thatI've been a registered editor at IMDb for nearly 20 years. It is not like Wikipedia or social media. All content submitted to the site via a form process requires approval by staff before they publish it. Nothing is published directly by users. Even Wikipedia's own article on Amazon-owned IMDb acknowledges these points
on their talk page. However, it appears that they might have neglected or didn't read WP:RSP's statement thatAlthough certain content on the site is reviewed by staff, editors criticize the quality of IMDb's fact-checking
, which is reflected by numerous discussions. Also, being a WP:EXPERT on IMDb to me shouldn't trump longstanding consensus, though let's respectfully disagree. Many thanks! VickKiang (talk) 08:21, 26 October 2022 (UTC) - Comment: Regarding the above comments about IMDb, neither of the Keep voters who have referred to IMDb has relied on IMDb itself to assert that the notability guidelines are met.
5Q5 simply referenced IMDb in passing. The point that I believe
5Q5 was making was that the subject has appeared as himself 21 times, and that's an indicator of notability—that is, appearing as oneself. It is the 21 self-credits—not the mere existence of an IMDb page—that is indicative of notability.
Moresdi doesn't argue that simply having an IMDb page goes towards notability, either, but rather makes the point that the subject has a significant list of credits. Again, IMDb was only referenced in passing. Therefore, I believe that the rebuttal arguments which are being made—and which, in effect, say that the existence of an IMDb page does not go towards notability—are misdirected.

- Comment from 5Q5: I only recently started voting in these actor/filmmaker AfDs (not inclined to going forward) so I was unfamiliar with the bias and perpetuated false assumptions about IMDb and how it actually works, since I have long experience on how it actually does. For instance, you can't add a birthdate or death date without providing strong confirmable sources. You can't create an IMDb profile for yourself and call yourself an actor or director. You can create a resume on IMDbPro, a paid service, and if that shows up on regular IMDb it indicates as such. Even Pro content has to be approved though, no direct user publishing.

- IMDb FAQ: How can I provide proof that my submission is valid? Please keep in mind that we require verification of on-screen billing. In other words, we do not just want verification that you were involved in the making of a film -- we want evidence that your name appears in the main or end titles. Cast/crew call sheets, contracts, payment receipts, etc. are not evidence of on-screen billing. If you are able to prove that the credit does appear on screen (e.g., by providing a screener copy or a screen grab of the credits or similar materials), please contact us and we'll give you further instructions.
- My opinion on the current IMDb is that it has improved its verification standards significantly with change of ownership (Amazon purchase) and is
generally reliable with no direct publishing by users. I do not intend to change my vote in this particular AfD and if there is another vote on IMDb's reliability down the road I would appreciate a note informing me on my talk page so that I may participate. Thank you.

WP:NACTOR AfDs, to gauge just how much work the subject has done. But again, I don't think that was the point that 5Q5 was making. They said: "Also noted is that he has 21 Self credits on IMDb, an additional indicator of notability." I don't think the in-passing reference to IMDb ("on IMDb") was the point being made as regards notability, but rather the fact that the subject has appeared as himself in 21 TV productions. The "on IMDb" doesn't really add to the argument that was being made. 5Q5 could have simply written, "Also noted is that he has 21 Self credits, an additional indicator of notability," thereby omitting "on IMDb", and it wouldn't have changed the point they were making.

I go through hundreds of expiring drafts each day, many of them are autobiographies and almost everyone of them links their social media accounts and their IMDb profile. When I look at their IMDb profiles, they are inevitably listing videos they made for YouTube channels, they are not actors, writers and directors in films or TV series. Many people with IMDb profiles are not paid professionals. They use their IPhones to make videos and then call themselves "a series creator". I have also been active on IMDb for decades and no change or addition I submitted ever required verification. IMDB is user-generated and I think anyone who has more than a few subscribers on their YouTube channels has an IMDb profile for themselvse. I'm sure that there are higher standards on IMDbPro because it is a paid service but not on the regular IMDb site.
- But you know, it doesn't matter what you think and what I think, on Wikipedia, IMDb is not considered a reliable source and that's what counts.

I don't think the in-passing reference to IMDb ("on IMDb") was the point being made as regards notability, but rather the fact that the subject has appeared as himself in 21 TV productions. The "on IMDb" doesn't really add to the argument that was being made. 5Q5 could have simply written, "Also noted is that he has 21 Self credits, an additional indicator of notability," thereby omitting "on IMDb", and it wouldn't have changed the point they were making.

I personally see this as that the television show should be notable- as in it has multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources that constitute of significant coverage. - From what I see Jamie hosted American Heroes Channel: America Facts VS Fiction. While he had a significant role in the show (satisfying one part of the criteria), I don't think the show is a
notable television show

- Delete The article says that he
has gained fame by portraying the character Mike Callahan on the TBS comedy My Boys
. Gained fame? Hmmm. The reference for that extraordinary claim is an interview with him and the link is dead. Much of this discussion is based on a misunderstanding of WP:NACTOR. Meeting a special notability guideline like that is a presumption or likelihood of notability, not a guarantee. What is required is significant coverage in reliable sources that are entirely independent of the topic. This debate has been going on for three weeks, and nobody has been able to come up with a single source that meets that standard. The CNN source begins withComedians are talking funny to CNN about various topics, and we offer them for laughs in this feature of CNN Comedy.
It is a blend of an interview and a comedy performance, is clearly not independent and is therefore of no value in establishing notability. It is entertainment, not journalism. The bottom line is that he is a low level working actor and comedian who had a four year run as the sixth billed actor on a sitcom, but has never became notable as Wikipedia defines that term.

It is not clearly established that this is a name or even alternative name for the collection of mountains in question in common English usage. The term, variously linked to the Hindu Kush, Pamir, Tian Shan and Zagros mountains does not seem to be based on serious geographical works, but rather consists of WP:SYNTH combining real place names with unsupported ancient Greek etymologies and suppositions based on a single ancient Armenian map, which when viewed, does not even appear to display the name in its English translation. It is unclear where most of the largely unverifiable information is coming from. The name "Imeon" does not even appear to be present in most of the sources.

- @ Jingiby: There appears to be no tangible definition. There are various pop history references, but when it gets down to it, everything from the Pamir Mountains to Tian Shan to Hindu Kush seem to be fingered as possible candidates - it's a frankly startling array of ambiguity. It should be noted that in the current article, the idea that "Emavon", as appearing in Suren T. Eremian's map, means "Imeon" is not even attested by any source, so would appear to be a clear case of WP:SYNTH. Iskandar323 ( talk) 19:37, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

- Comment. @ Iskandar323 I strongly suggest creating a source analysis table. Currently you have made some strong broad claims for why this article should be deleted under policy, but have not directly engaged with individual sources to prove those claims. Likewise the keep voters have made strong claims but have also failed to engage with individual sources to prove those claims. As such I am not seeing a strong argument made on either side that is based in evidence. If the AFD were to close now, the only options would be either keep per majority vote, or no consensus, as no strong argument has been made either way. A redirect would be a possible third option, although not many have supported that option. To move this conversation in a different direction (ie towards a delete outcome) we really do need a source analysis table. While this article is not an organization, the table at WP:SIRS could be used to aid you in a source analysis. Best. 4meter4 ( talk) 00:56, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Source Significant? Independent? Reliable? Secondary? Pass/Fail Notes the map source 
This reconstructed map certainly mentions an Emavon, but no source has been provided to connect Emavon to Imeon - the two might be the same, but without a source asserting this, it is WP:OR. A 7th-century map is also primary. The Geography of Ananias of Sirak No page number is provided. 467 is the number of pages. I found an archive.org copy of the work, but it is impossible to determine what the reference might be without reading the whole book. It is primary text with commentary. Silk Road, North China - history blog Does not mention the subject by name. About the region in general. Pure WP:SYNTH. The Travels of Marco Polo, Vol. 1. Does not mention the subject by name. About the region in general. Pure WP:SYNTH. History of the Armenians. No page number has been provided and the subject does not appear in a search of the text. More likely WP:SYNTH. SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica Not about the subject but the name of a mountain range on Smith Island (South Shetland Islands), named after what it attests as the Bulgarian name for a mountain in the present day Pamir and Hindu Kush. One sentence. Pretty trivial. (in references but not cited) US gov source Has one line noting the Mount Imeon area as being in the "present Hindu Kush in northern Afghanistan". Trivial. (in references but not cited) misc web source Web source of unclear provenance. Mentions "in the Pamirs and the Hindu Kush around Mount Imai." - I assume this is the reference. Trivial. Again, no source attests that this name is the same name ( WP:OR). (in references but not cited) link to a book contents page Links to contents page with no page number referenced. Again, impossible to assess without reading the work, as with the other unreferenced, unlinked sourced. Total qualifying sources 0 There must be multiple qualifying sources to meet the notability requirements
- I would request that the discussion be relisted again, so that participants and any new takers can inspect the sourcing more carefully.

- It is quite disconcerting that you have clearly done no fact checking for yourself and are persisting in this. As I did before I did a quick search, which easily turned up numerous valid sources, to whit:
| “ | One source of the Amu Darya is the Pamir River, which emerges from Lake Zorkul in the Great Pamir Mountain ofAfghanistan (ancient Mount Imeon) East Turkestan to China Sea ca {7,500km} and flowing west to Qila-e Panja. [13] | ” |
| “ | ... from one of the northernmost provinces under the rule of the Pathans or Mughals, close to the great Mount Imeon, which runs from the Caspian Sea eastward to the eastern Indian Ocean, and which separates Tatary224 from India. [14] | ” |
| “ | The Marco Polo sheep is named for the explorer, who described the species during his crossing of Pamir (ancient Mount Imeon) in 1271. Ovis means sheep and ammon is a derivative of Amun, the ancient Egyptian god who was depicted as ... [15] | ” |
| “ | In the second century A.D., the Bulgars came to Europe from their old homeland, the Kingdom of Balhara situated in the Mount Imeon area (present Hindu Kush in northern Afghanistan). The first Bulgarian state was established in 635 A.D., ... [16] | ” |
- I could go on but numerous reliable source are easily found [17].
- Of the sources used in the article.
- http://www.kroraina.com/ is simply a conglomeration of papers, individually they need to be taken on their merit. The map is from this paper [18], to me it seems reasonably reliable.
- [19] is clearly a reliable source, also found on google books [20]. The accusation that the ISBN has been falsified is a bad faith presumption, it is easy to make a transcription error, I've done so myself.
- [21] is perfectly valid for citing the route of the silk road, the fact it doesn't mention Imeon is irrelevant; this is not WP:SYNTH.
- [22] is perfectly valid for citing the route of the silk road, the fact it doesn't mention Imeon is irrelevant; this is not WP:SYNTH.
- [23] valid cite for the subject it is supporting; this is not WP:SYNTH.
- [24] valid cite for the subject it is supporting; this is not WP:SYNTH.
- [25] Clearly mentions Mount Imeon and location. I note this has been labelled by Iskander as "failed verification".
- I stand by my original assessment that there are sufficient reliable sources already in the article to merit keep, there are plenty of reliable sources to expand the article and provide additional cites if needed. This does not need to be relisted and I will not change my comment. Iskander needs to drop the stick and step away from the deceased horse. W C M email 08:27, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:SYNTH/ WP:OR and failing WP:SIGCOV. I have to agree with the source analysis that the sourcing here is not sufficiently in-depth enough or direct enough to to meet WP:SIGCOV, and that it is collectively compiled in a way that amounts to original synthesis/ original research. Part of the issue here is that many of the sources are primary sources, or the sources being used are by historic writers which in my opinion should also be treated as primary sources given their age and the need for placing the materials into better context (work that would be done by a historical researcher writing on this term). If we had better contemporary sources addressing the topic directly and in detail, there would be a strong keep argument. As it is, a collection of passing mentions which do not define the term as clearly as what is given here, and bunch of primary materials being used to source the content as written is by definition WP:Original research. That said, I am not opposed to a redirect to Roof of the world providing the term is briefly mentioned in a single sentence on that page. 4meter4 ( talk) 14:55, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

- Delete unless significant coverage in reliable sources can be provided. The Yen.com source is based only on statements by the developer, and therefore is not independent. Pulse Ghana is an advertising and marketing company. Advertising and marketing activities are strictly forbidden on Wikipedia.

That being said, if TechCabal is a reliable source in this instance, it is the only one, and I looked for more and came up with nothing. There's a lot of press releases and articles based on press releases, but they're easy to spot because they're all worded the same. Articles require multiple third-party reliable sources, and this article's subject maybe has the one.

Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.
Then I would agree. But I would argue that the sources I linked were already enough. They need to be independent of the subject, but that is more about preventing coverage used in return of payments contributing towards GNG. 0x Deadbeef→∞ ( talk to me) 10:08, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Evidently a notable field of research within electrical engineering. In addition to the sources provided by 0xdeadbeef, I found a number of conference proceedings and reviews which discuss it. Chaos in the Real World:Recent Applications to Communications, Computing, Distributed Sensing, Robotic Motion, Bio-Impedance Modelling and Encryption Systems from Symmetry (journal) ( [35], access available through WP:TWL) is a synthesis of chaos theory applications across multiple fields which covers chaos computing in section 7. It's been referenced in work occurring outside of EECS too, like in the dynamical systems paper Introduction: Theory of Hybrid Dynamical Systems and Its Applications to Biological and Medical Systems ( [36]). Research into the topic spans multiple research groups, institutions, and researchers, as well as being surprisingly broad in applications; there's a group working on applications in logic locking out of UC Davis ( [37]), a group working on some subset of map coloring problems out of UH Mānoa ( [38]), a group working on side channel attack mitigation with a paper in IEEE conference proceedings ( [39]), and so on. It's mentioned in some textbooks as well ( [40], [41], [42]), though the coverage here seems less significant. Personally I feel pretty comfortable saying it's a notable field of research.

- Comment this is a review of the sources in the article, per
WP:NCORP, which per
WP:ORGCRIT provides guidance on how to apply the
WP:PROMO section of
WP:NOT to articles.
- 1: boAt wants to trade its branding paddle for an IP motor (The Ken, 2021) - this seven-graf article begins with anonymous sources complaining about the company, includes information from boAt’s co-founder Aman Gupta, and discusses raised capital and personnel changes. This does not appear to provide sufficient WP:CORPDEPTH to support notability.
- 2:
Boat set to float Rs 2,000-crore IPO, eyes $1.5-2 billion valuation (Economic Times, 2022) - this is an example of
trivial coverage per
WP:CORPDEPTH, because it is an announcement and routine coverage of
quarterly or annual financial results and earning forecasts [...] expansions, acquisitions, mergers,
anda capital transaction
and it isnot accompanied by commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization
, so there is insufficient WP:CORPDEPTH to support notability. - 3: Report on Consumer Devices in India is described in the cite in the article as "Redseer report" but the report does not state this, and instead cites Redseer for some information. I have searched the https://redseer.com website and have not found this report.
- 4: Speakers: boAt in India 2020 Brand Report, March 2022 "This Brand Report covers boAt in the speakers market of India and is based on data from the Statista Global Consumer Survey. Topics include: Customers' demographic profile, Customer lifestyle, Marketing touchpoints" and costs $495. While it is challenging to assess the source without access, the description suggests this source provides WP:CORPDEPTH.
- 5: India Wearable Market Reports Another Record Quarter Shipping 23.8 Million Units In 3Q21, Says IDC, 2021. The WP:CORPDEPTH of this source seems limited at best because it is focused on the market generally, with data about marketshare for various companies, including BoAt.
- 6: Warburg Invests $100 mn in boAt - this is trivial coverage per WP:CORPDEPTH, and substantially quotes co-founders of BoAt Gupta and Mehta, as well as BoAt investors Vishal Mahadevia, MD and head, Warburg Pincus India and Kanwaljit Singh, founder and managing partner, Fireside Ventures, so this source also is not sufficient per WP:ORGIND to support notability.
- 7 & 9: How a young Indian brand is beating its Chinese rivals at their own game (Quartz, 2021) - this source lacks WP:ORGIND because it includes quotes from boAt co-founders Gupta and Mehta, and what "boAt has said", but does have more depth than most sources.
- 8: boAt eyes make-in-India push with $100 million from Warburg Pincus - similar to the Hindustan Times source noted above, this is trivial coverage about a capital transaction that also fails WP:ORGIND for its reliance on what "boAt founders Aman Gupta and Sameer Mehta told TOI" and a quote from investor Singh.
- 10: Dixon Tech gains 5% on pact with boAt for new twin wireless speakers (Business Standard, 2021) - this source is subscription blocked but appears to be trivial coverage per WP:CORPDEPTH because it is an announcement of an expansion of business: "Dixon Technologies (India) shares traded 5 per cent higher at Rs 15,214, also their fresh record high, on the BSE on Thursday after the company announced that it has entered into an agreement with Imagine Marketing Private Limited (boAt) for manufacturing of Twin Wireless Speakers."
- 11: boAt forms jt venture with Dixon Tech to manufacture wireless audio products in India (HinduBusinessLine, 2022) - this source is a similar annoucement as above, and lacks WP:ORGIND because it is substantially based on quotes from boAt CEO Vivek Gambhir, and Saurabh Gupta, CFO, Dixon Technologies.
- 12: Ashneer Grover, Aman Gupta fuel Shark Tank meme explosion (Economic Times, 2022) - this is about Boat cofounder Gupta appearing on Shark Tank and creating memes, and WP:INHERITORG indicates that his personal popularity does not transfer notability to the company.
- Per WP:N, even if an article meets WP:GNG, it can still be excluded per WP:NOT, and per WP:NCORP, the apparent lack of WP:MULTSOURCES that meet the WP:SIRS guideline support delete due to WP:PROMO at this time. Beccaynr ( talk) 19:59, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. The keep votes is a collection of vague WP:ITSNOTABLE and WP:PERABOVE votes that IMO the closer should give less weight as they do not attempt to provide on any concrete evidence on which sources are suitable for NCORP. GR86, Contributor008, Dudhhr, that an article has numerous sources doesn't automatically make WP:GNG or WP:NCORP met. I concur with Beccaynr's analysis and Akevsharma's decline on the draft. A series of routine announcements on expansions, transactions investments, and routine reports of financial results are insufficient to pass WP:CORPDEPTH. IMO the Quartz source goes into decent detail for WP:CORPDEPTH to be met (and is independent, secondary, and RS), but the rest are not. A WP:BEFORE search found trivial mentions or routine coverage while announcing the founders or more routine announcements on transactions and investments, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Therefore, could the keep voters explain which two or three sources pass WP:NCORP? Many thanks! VickKiang (talk) 20:42, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

- Let's start with the Redseer report, which you said might be a full version but I could only find
this as well. It gives an overview on social media stats, market growth, and sales value details, along with routine information on products. But none of these count towards SIGCOV. Per
WP:CORPDEPTH,
of quarterly or annual financial results and earning forecasts
is trivial. Moreover, the NCORP has a secondary requirement, but that might not always be the case forcorporate annual or financial reports
per WP:NCORP.I have written plenty to share that there are lot of media channels
- there might be a better, Redseer report, but notability requires demonstrable evidence, not just that sources may exist without providing evidence, which seems to me be echoing WP:THEREMAYBESOURCES. Further, the Ken ref also provides some info on its strategy, but mostly give routine information on profits, monthly run rates, and funds, insufficiently SIGCOV.

- Delete per everyone in this nom so far. While we do sometimes have lists of characters in movies, that's usually because they are notable but not enough to have their own articles. However this is basically just a list of every wrestler that has participated in WWF/E and was in the games. ― Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:03, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- Obviously biased because of the time spent, but keep. I see this as no different to any of the ones in Category:Lists_of_video_game_characters, with the exception that there's an article for each character. The trivia sub-section could probably be removed since it's not too important (although one or two of the stats might be). But there's literally 500 different individuals who appeared in these video games, and I think this is the best way to display that. With 30+ years of games, I think it's notable enough. I'd honestly rather have this than a roster page on each game's article (which some have, and some don't, and it's inconsistent).

- Well, in a traditional sense, professional wrestling isn't a sport. It's scripted programming with physical scenes, not much different from an action movie or an action-based soap opera. There's many sources that places wrestling video games as a subgenre of the fighting genre instead of the sports genre. If there was an Olympics mat-based 1-on-1 wrestling video game (does that exist...? must be extremely slow-paced if it does), then that would be more suitable under the sports genre. But since the WWF/E games are different, they are more closely associated to the fighting genre. That's simply the perspective I took, and is the basis as to why I think the page has similar qualities to other fighting games' lists.

- Delete. Current sources are: press release, routine promotional piece, interview, promo routine announcement, another routine coverage, and interview-like press release with "offerings", "spotlight", and "client talks". These are obviously non-SIGCOV and fails WP:CORPDEPTH. A WP:BEFORE search found low-quality routine announcements, interviews, and mentions, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but none of these satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH with numerous being non-independent interviews or press releases in dubiously RS sources.

Article consists of a single line plot only description of a 17 year old minor independent horror film that is not of any notability. Nominating for deletion under WP:NOTPLOT Binarywraith ( talk) 02:19, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Film-related deletion discussions. Shellwood ( talk) 10:38, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. The state of the article is not how notability is decided. For films it should pass WP:NFILM, which states that 2 reviews by independent, reliable critics are needed. This article has links to 2 reviews from sources that are considered reliable for Wikipedia...the New York Times, and DVD Talk. DonaldD23 talk to me 11:47, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep as well as the DVD Talk review there are also full reviews at Horror News here and at Dread Central here which are both reliable sources for horror films, as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Resources and Wikipedia:WikiProject Horror/Sources. Passes WP:GNG in my view, Atlantic306 ( talk) 19:49, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. The three reviews from
The New York Times,
DVD Talk, and
Dread Central are all reliable, independent, secondary sources that constitute of significant coverage. I personally disagree that Horrornews.net is straight cut RS, it has no editorial policies, but given there is existing conesnsus at WikiProject Horror it would qualify as a reliable source. Therefore, four refs count towards
WP:GNG. On
WP:NFILM IMO only the critic at
The New York Times is
nationally well known
, I don't think the rest qualifies, so WP:NFILM criteria 1 is failed, others also don't apply here. Nevertheless, this seems to be a GNG pass. VickKiang (talk) 23:00, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

No sources for this one and I can't find anything out there to indicate notability. An actor that has appeared in mostly minor roles and is related to someone. Not enough to indicate WP:GNG for a Wikipedia article, in my opinion. Not yet, anyway. Pyrrho the Skipper ( talk) 00:54, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Passes
WP:NACTRESS. She was a leading stage actress in regional theaters, and had some major roles in some world premieres by well known writers. She also had multiple principal roles in British television dramas. I've added several reviews and will be adding more references as I further expand the article. There is quite a lot of coverage in offline references and in
PROQUEST.

- Hmm if you say so. All the sources you added are from the same publication and do not look like like significant coverage. Just reviews of mostly regional plays. Pyrrho the Skipper ( talk) 16:20, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- I have access to
The Stage archives which is UK's major publication for theatre, television, and film coverage; comparable to
Variety in the United States through
PROQUEST. Many of the reviews have in-depth critiques of her performances, and not all of them are regional, such as her performance in the
Royal National Theatre's
The Threepenny Opera. I would also consider any performance with the
Royal Shakespeare Company and
The Young Vic significant given their international reputations. I am not done adding sources, and have not yet begun looking through the archives of
The Times,
The Guardian, etc. I would imagine other sources will appear. For the moment I am combing through the lengthy number of articles in
The Stage, but will move on to other databases later. Also, there are some books and reviews I have added from other sources already, so not everything I have added is from the same publication. Best.
