Keep - Without more info, this seems to be
a rush to deletion. The article is a week old and appears to have valid, sourced info (I don't read the languages in question). Sources should be hammered out by nominator and other editors in the article and its Talk -- a Talk that is currently completely blank, so no real attempt has been made. If proponents cannot overcome the objections of the nominator, then come back to AfD. Cheers,

I can analyze the sources cited in the article
1) Erofeeva, who does not speak about the whole war of Kazakhs and Cossacks, only mentioning the raid of Abulkhair as a separate fact.
2) The second source already uses the term Kazakh-Cossack war (Казахско-казачья война), Its author is a certain professor Abdirov. At the same time, a cursory search on Google Scholar or Google Books does not give any results. We can safely assume that the term is an invention of Abdirov and the separation of clashes into a full-fledged war is not popular in historiography. Abdirov himself, judging by the second source, is biased towards the Dzungars and from somewhere he takes the fact of Russia's military assistance to the Dzungar Khanate. At the same time, in historiography, the invasion of the Dzhungars in 1723 does not in any way come into contact with the attack of the Cossacks from the west, this is a strange compilation.
3) The fifth source is a book, no pages indicated, just a book.
4) In the last source, Abdirov says that the Kazakh-Cossack war lasted 200 years (I remind you that this is his personal term, which is not mentioned anywhere else), but the author takes a strange time frame of twenty years and inserts it into the title.
From which we can conclude that the article is an excerpt from the works of Abdirov, who coined a term that is unpopular anywhere, called minor clashes a full-fledged war, and the author of the article simply retold his vision of the world. And the author also compiled some other events of these collisions. Note that the article contains the term Kazakh-Russian war which is not mentioned at all in the sources.

Even if you pay attention to the content of the article, the intervals of clashes are several years, that is, all these are separate incidents that are not distinguished in science into a single conflict.

Delete Abdirov appears to be a credible
historian, but parts of the article disort the sources to record events as a Kazakh victory. Source four is a Kazakh eighth grade textbook that says Abul Khair's forces were driven back with significant losses by Russian troops, the opposite of the article's claim. Roudik (source 5) doesn't support what he is cited for, and actually describes the ambush of a Russian peace expedition to Khiva, while not mentioning Kazakh actions at all. Judging from Abdirov's work, there was definitely conflict, but we don't need an article that blatantly distorts sources to exaggerate Kazakh successes.

Redirect toKenesary's rebellion. Unlike the creator's other articles Bekhmakhanov is quoted accurately with the source not distorted. However, Bekhmakhanov doesn't have a name for these events, and Abdirov's winter campaign phrasing does not refer to the 1843-1844 events.

Keep per Sal2100, the "status" of executive chair of the

According to
WP:NACADEMIC, The merits of an article on the academic will depend largely on the extent to which it is
verifiable. For documenting election for
NPROF#3, publications of the electing institution are considered a reliable source; the source I cited above includes a quote from the president of the electing institution and a link to a pdf listing new fellows (that is not working nor available at the Internet Archive). The NPROF#7 guideline offers examples of how to demonstrate substantial impact, and this discussion seems to help show some of the challenges with one of the typical methods ("frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area") because searches are complicated by Jennifer Rubin the columnist/commentator, and on JSTOR, Jennifer Rubin Grandis. So I suggest her verifiable career outside of academia in her academic capacity seems to help support notability, in addition to the NPROF#3 recognition. However, there is also apparent coverage in Times Higher Education:
ESRC chief executive and UKRI ‘innovation champion’ named (2017), but I cannot access this; and with an assist from ProQuest, I also found this Jennifer Rubin quoted in mainstream press:
Guardian, 2020.

This sort of explanation is exactly why NACADEMIC should be deprecated and replaced with GNG. We wouldn't push together bits and pieces like this for anyone in any other profession. I don't think that will happen any time soon, though.
SportingFlyerT·C16:37, 20 August 2023 (UTC)reply
From my view, the recognition from her peers through the election as a
Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences is similar to other SNGs, such as a "significant award or honor" (
WP:ANYBIO) or "The person is regarded as an important figure [...] by peers" (
WP:AUTHOR), and overall, this recognition seems to help show, as noted in the
academics section in
WP:BIO, how "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources."

SPHB appears to be a limited company that existed between 2007-2011 run by a family in Scotland to raise money for their castle.
[2] If there was an earlier organisation of the same name I cannot find any evidence of its existence or its relationship to the company. The article was created by
Mph259, the initials of one of the people who ran the company - their only other contribution to Wikipedia was to
Islam in Mexico and the same person in the company wrote a chapter in an academic book about Islam in Mexico, which is further evidence of their identity and an obvious conflict of interest. If you google "Society for the Preservation of Historic Buildings" it comes up with a few references, but they invariably seem to be confusing it with a different organisation
Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. For example this article
[3] says "The same belief in the vital importance of heritage protection also led to the founding of other organisations such as the Society for the Preservation of Historic Buildings (SPAB)..." As they have specified SPAB they undoubtedly mean the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. An IP address (judging from contributions probably connected to
Mph259) added that it was "noted" in a 1969 architectural journal - again it may be a case of confusion with SPAB (I don’t have access to the article). Apart from
Mph259 and the IP address, no editors have contributed anything to the article except for formatting, punctuation, etc. and it gets virtually no hits and has no links from other articles, except user pages. It therefore seems to have been created as an advertisement for a short-lived company and has no notability.
Johnbod removed the notification of deletion tag, suggesting a merger instead. However the company has no connection with The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), so there would be no content to merge.

I have now had a more thorough look at the Google results for "Society for the Preservation of Historic Buildings" and will revise what I said before about invariably confusing it with "Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings" (SPAB). Google comes up with about 48 results. Some of them are mirror sites of Wikipedia and Companies House or lists garnered from them, including an academic article that copies Wiki text. Some are translations of foreign organisations, for example a Dutch organisation. Some are local American organisations, for example, the Montachusett Society for the Preservation of Historic Buildings. Two refer to fictional characters. That leaves four certain or almost certain examples of confusion (including one gossip website), plus four probable or possible examples. I do not see that as enough to justify a redirect or mention in the article about SPAB. There is just one thing that still worries me - whether there ever existed a small local 19th-20th century organisation with the name "Society for the Preservation of Historic Buildings", which might explain one of the possible examples of confusion. But there is nothing in the British Library Catalogue or the National Archives Catalogue.

The earliest version of the article begins The Society for the Preservation of Historic Buildings was founded in 1858 in Leicestershire and was a pressure group established to oppose the demolition of the country house known as Danet's Hall by the Leicester Freehold Land Society. The group purchased the lordship of the manor and used this to exert pressure to attempt to prevent the hall's demolition, without success., which might be true, but is unsourced.

Comment. There's certainly an organisation with this name that precedes the 2007–2011 reincarnation. Found mentions in UK newspaper reports in the 1950s, 60s and 70s - but only mentions. One report referred to the Royal Society for the Preservation of Historic Buildings. The Journal of Architectural Education reference is a name check only of the earlier entity. Don't think the sourcing stands up to a merge as reliability is unclear and there's no indication the
Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings is related.

The actual subject of this article is an actor who has had one major role and so does not satisfy
acting notability. There has already been a deletion discussion using his full name; see
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rudhraksh Jaiswal, and
Rudhraksh Jaiswal is a redirect. This article has an abbreviated form of his name as a novel method of
gaming of article titles. The AFD was tainted by
sockpuppetry by both the Keep and the Delete voters, but that does not warrant trying to evade the name. The redirect is not locked, so the originator could have expanded the redirect, or asked for
Deletion Review. A review of the article shows that this article also does not establish
acting notability or
general notability. A review of the references shows that they are not about the actor, but about films about the
Mahabharata, an interview with an actress, and an interview with the subject.

"Most of X peoples knows him" is not a Wikipedia notability criterion, because anybody could say that about anything if they didn't actually have to prove it. Notability is not a question of the things you say, it's a question of the quality and depth of the sourcing that can or can't be shown to support the things you say, and the sourcing in this article isn't cutting it as it isn't about him at all.

This page was draftified by
Syed Aala Qadri Kalkatvi with the rationale "Not notable and not edited well". The page
Draft:Farzad ghaderi is very similar (see compare 1170203333 to 1170194633). I would contend that the same notability issues exist as pointed out by Syed. He fails
WP:NMMA. I think that there is potential for notability for his participation in Wushu, but I cannot verify any of these championships. It is possible there are no english language sources I could find, but in my
WP:BEFORE, I could not verify that he won the competitions stated. I have also found some information that contradicts information stated in the article. For example, the article states that at the 2022 Tunisia Kempo World Championships that Farzad Ghaderi won a 75kg competition, but I find that he came in third in three different competitions at that championship. Regardless, I cannot find enough to push him over any
WP:SNG I could find or
WP:GNG. I think that developing the existing draft with other sources to push over
WP:GNG would probably be the best course of action.

Keep The reason why you can't find sources about this person is because she is Danish. Thus, she may not have many English language references, because the English speaking world has, until the era of the internet, not been very interested to write about the more obscure subjects of Danish history, such as notable women. She is a Dane, and she is included in the danish language encylopedia of notable women of Danish history. If you judge notablity from how many English language references there are about her, then there are many, many notable women of history that you should delete from Wikipedia. Prior to internet, the English speaking world wrote very sparingly about the more obscure history (in this case, women's history) subjects of smaller countries such as Denmark. It is one of the good things about the internet era that these obscure topics can be translated and made availabile to the English speaking world, since foreign language references are accepted in Wikipedia. It would not be a good policy to contradict that development. --

Not uncommon for obscure historical subjects which are less well known. Historical 19th-century women of small countries are not likely to have much information online even when they are notable. For example: there was zero results on Swedish actresses of the pre-1773 period online until they were given their first articles in Swedish language wikipedia. None. That was because Swedish theater history of that period was not even much known among Swedes, only the experts. The internet era is changing all that. Not every notable subject is yet online, particularly not about obscure subjects such as "women's history" which has long been neglected, and not all books are digitalized. They are however to be found in actual material books outside of the internet, in this case not English language books. --

It may have been "noticed" by sources, but those are all unreliable or low-caliber sources that cover every viral phenomenon, every controversy, every meme, every rumor that pops up on the Internet.

I will change my vote if there is stronger coverage beyond perennial hype articles from marginally reliable sources, but I wouldn't hold my breath for a more reliable source to emerge.

There have been many news articles about the film. The nominator is acting like fan films have never had wikipedia pages before, even though they most certainly have, and this one has an especially high budget. The draft was denied before the movie came out and was not a complete page, back then it was unclear if the film would even be released due to the controversy, but now we're at a point where the film has been released. Apart from being a film, the discourse around Lotus is an important contemporary example of racism in the film community and how the internet at large addressed it. With even more revelations coming up recently in regards to the film's troublesome development, it'd be the completely wrong move to delete it.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent

The article notes: "Spider-Man: Lotus is a crowdfunded fan film that raised over $100k from backers. The film generated a lot of hype after a trailer for it was released in 2021, gaining 2.7 million views on YouTube. The trailer suggests that the film will centre on Peter Parker struggling with guilt and grief over the death of his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, a storyline that hasn’t be explored particularly deeply by Sony or Marvel. ... Despite these swathes of controversy, the film premiered on August 10 on YouTube. At the time of writing it has been viewed more than 665,000 times."
The article notes: "Spider-Man: Lotus, a fan film which was set to be released on 10th August, has sparked quite a loud controversy prior to its release. The film directed by Gavin J. Konop and starring actor Warden Wayne in the lead role, is facing backlash due to their racist past."
The article notes: "Spider Man Lotus protagoniza a uno de los superhéroes más populares y queridos de Marvel Comics; este famoso personaje llamado Peter Parker, ha sido replicado y adaptado en más de una ocasión. Ahora Gaving J Konop, director de cine realizó una nueva entrega seleccionada como Fan Film, es decir, un contenido realizado por los fans. La cinta tardó tres años y no es parte del repertorio de Marvel y Sony."
From Google Translate: "Spider Man Lotus stars as one of Marvel Comics' most popular and beloved superheroes; this famous character called Peter Parker, has been replicated and adapted on more than one occasion. Now Gaving J Konop, film director made a new installment selected as Fan Film, that is, content made by fans. The tape took three years and is not part of the repertoire of Marvel and Sony."
The article notes: "La historia de este fan-film sucede después de la trágica muerte de la exnovia de Peter Parker, que aparentemente ha sido provocada por su propio intento por salvarla. Esto provoca en él muchas dudas sobre si su alter ego debería desaparecer para siempre, pero en ese momento recibe la noticia sobre un niño con una enfermedad terminal que ha solicitado conocerlo y es así que Peter contempla si consolarlo en sus últimos días."
From Google Translate: "The story of this fan-film takes place after the tragic death of Peter Parker's ex-girlfriend, which was apparently caused by her own attempt to save her. This causes many doubts in him about whether his alter ego should disappear forever, but at that moment he receives the news about a terminally ill boy who has asked to meet him and so Peter contemplates whether to comfort him in his last days."
The article notes: "Spider-Man: Lotus adalah film penggemar yang diproduksi sebagai proyek gairah nirlaba, tanpa masukan sama sekali dari Marvel Studios atau Sony Pictures. Film ini dibuat tak lama setelah kematian Gwen Stacy. Plot mengikuti Peter Parker yang mempertimbangkan untuk meninggalkan masa pensiunnya sebagai Spider-Man untuk alasan yang baik."
From Google Translate: "Spider-Man: Lotus is a fan film produced as a non-profit passion project, with no input whatsoever from Marvel Studios or Sony Pictures. This film was made shortly after the death of Gwen Stacy. The plot follows Peter Parker who considers leaving his retirement as Spider-Man for a good reason."
The article notes: "Alejado del caos que se produjo por los comentarios que realizaron, hace algunos días, se confirmó la fecha de estreno de "Spider-Man: lotus", la cual fue financiada por fanáticos del personaje, además de ser producida, en su totalidad, por jóvenes no mayores a los 25 años."
From Google Translate: "Away from the chaos caused by the comments they made, a few days ago the release date of "Spider-Man: lotus" was confirmed, which was financed by fans of the character, as well as being produced entirely by young people not older than 25 years."
The article notes: "Spider-Man: Lotus is a fan film that aims to explore Peter Parker's grief after the death of his girlfriend and his internal struggles about how to be a hero and stand up for others in the face of insurmountable personal loss. The movie first gained attention when an IndieGoGo campaign succeeded in raising $112,079 USD in early 2021. Per the campaign, the project is "not for profit," presumably in an attempt to skirt issues of copyright from Marvel/Disney."
The article notes: "Following in a long tradition of fanmade movies, Spider-Man: Lotus was filmed on a low budget, raising $112,000 on Indiegogo. Premiering last week, it’s a non-profit project due to its unlicensed relationship with Marvel. Soon, you’ll be able to watch it on YouTube for free. ... This week Spider-Man: Lotus premiered in LA, with a guest list of excited Spidey fans. However it didn’t earn such a positive response online, mostly due to a racism scandal involving the lead actor and director. So when you look up the premiere, you’ll find a ton of posts joking about it being a Klan meeting and generally mocking the film’s existence:"
Indy100says, "Because indy100 is from The Independent you can still trust us to take our facts very seriously (even the funny ones). Some of the stories will have been inspired by the brilliant work in The Independent. Most will be from the crack team of indy100 journalists."

The Independent and
Hindustan Times are both reliable sources, and I'd even argue
Screen Rant and
The Daily Dot are for the matter of a fan film based on a comic, especially as both sites are notable enough to have an article on Wikipedia and have no Sun/Mail/Fox News cloud over their reliability as best as I can see.
Furthermore the curt, seemingly-inaccurate dismissal of those sources and the research out-of-hand by the nominator is high-handed to say the least.
This suggests that on this particular topic their mind is made up (if that is not the case I apologise, but based on the information present that is my impression), so it's partly a procedural keep because Wikipedians shouldn't speak to Wikipedians like that, and invoking a bullshit policy like OtherStuffExists is never a good sign either.

Keep as a notable topic, per
WP:N. The "world at large" has looked at this topic with sufficiently significant attention. "Significant" is when the coverage addresses the topic directly and in detail, and that is happening here. To consider it another way, a topic could be considered significant even if it was not the central focus of a coverage piece -- it just has to be direct and in detail enough. Reliable sources making this film the central focus are highly significant. I am okay with cleaning out sources not considered reliable, but I think that still leaves reliable sources covering the topic.

Is draftifying the article not a viable solution to allow editors time to reconstruct the article with adequate sourcing? A draft existed before, and it's not like it would be completely undoing all the contributions put in thus far. A debate can be had on the current article's sourcing and what can be done to expand it to what meets standards, although I think that can be done once the prospect of deletion is out of the way and constructive expansion in draftspace is being worked on. I did realize that there is a bullet list section at

I think virtually everyone agrees that CBR and Screen Rant are much less highly regarded as The Hollywood Reporter and The New York Times.

While it is true they aren't as highly regarded as The Hollywood Reporter I'd also argue that The Hollywood Reporter also isn't anywhere near as highly regarded as The New York Times, that does not make the other sources worthless, and I do think at the very least CBR can be used to establish notability. A wesbite trying to stay alive and putting out a lot of content doesn't mean its content is worthless. "Good enough to use because its reliable, but not good enough to show notability" seems like a terrible road to go down.

The result was redirect to
Planetary romance. There was no consensus on what content could be merged to that target, so no merge for now. Objections to merging were based on sourcing issues, not appropriateness of merging in principle; accordingly, if reliable sources are found, merging content from the page history to the target would likely be in accordance with consensus here.

"Sword and planet" is a rarely used term that is more or less synonymous with "
planetary romance", which is much more widely used. A conversation on
Talk:Sword and planet has led to a consensus that redirecting the page to
planetary romance is the right approach, perhaps with a sentence added to the target page mentioning the term, if that can be sourced well enough.
Piotrus, one of the participants in that discussion, suggested that since most of
sword and planet is unsourced, and what is sourced would not survive as an article if the unsourced material were deleted and would not be merged into the target, it would be effectively equivalent to a deletion and so AfD should be the venue.
Siroxo found these uses of the term:
[6][7][8][9][10][11] but none are enough to establish that GNG is met for the term.

For unsourced but unproblematic content (no copyvio, promotion, or attack/defamation) redirection or merging is always preferable to outright deletion, because the history is maintained and it is possible for a non-admin to see the history and retrieve content for improvement from it.

Redirect or weak merge while preserving history, per my talk page comments on the article talk page (I've also done my BEFORE, tried to verify some content in the article, and sadly conclude that it is very ORish). And yes, most sources treat those terms as synonyms, so proposed redirect/merge target is correct. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Redirect to
Planetary romance. As noted here and on the talk page, sources largely treat the terms as synonymous. I don't know that there is any content worth merging as both articles are at the moment rather poor. A "Terminology" section explaining the connection to
sword and sorcery/
sword and sandal on the one hand and
Romance (prose fiction) on the other would be helpful, and such a section could also potentially go into detail about what distinctions sources that do not treat the terms as synonymous make.

By the way—and this has no bearing on this discussion as such but might nevertheless be of interest—I found the following quote from
Gary Westfahl on the appeal of
Edgar Rice Burroughs's approach to portraying
Barsoom in this manner (though Westfahl never mentions either "planetary romance" or "sword and planet", so it might not be useable here): Burroughs's depiction of an advanced but decadent civilization further allowed for stimulating inconsistencies, in that one could logically believe a culture at that stage would have retained aspects of its past science and lost others; by picking and choosing what might have been remembered and what might have been forgotten, Burroughs could generate scenarios for thrilling encounters, like the incongruous scene depicted on the Ballantine Books cover of The Gods of Mars—a furious sword-fight waged on top of a futuristic aircraft.

The Stuff of Science Fiction: Hardware, Settings, Characters, p. 154).

You may not find the exact name (ie. Goa Island) in sources for two main reasons:
1. Historical references to this island (Ilha de Goa) is in the Portuguese language, not English; since Goa was under Portuguese rule, not British.
2. Due to the construction of several bridges in recent history, connecting the island to other parts of Goa, it gives an impression that it is not an island.

A few things. First, I'd argue that the coverage doesn't meet the general notability requirement because it is not "independent of the source." Aside from Rolling Stone and CBS Austin, which make passing mentions of Shieh's opinions, all the other sources include Shieh either on screen as a speaker or are his actual columns/op-eds. Note the
WP:GNG says specifically, "'Independent of the subject' excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it."
And, taking a closer look at
WP:JOURNALIST, Shieh meets none of the following criteria:
1. The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors; or
2. The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique; or
3. The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series); or
4. The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

Keep because the subject meets
Wikipedia:Notability. Regarding
WP:JOURNALIST (taken from my comment
here), Per
WP:NBIO, "People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria below [such as WP:JOURNALIST in our case]."
In reference to various additional occupation-specific criteria, such as WP:JOURNALIST, the policy also states, "Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. A person who does not meet these additional criteria may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability."
Thus, even if the subject does not the meet WP:JOURNALIST standards, this alone is not valid reason for deletion, if
WP:NBASIC is still met. I believe it is, as significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources exists. Here is a source assessment table:
Story is written by a journalist at the New Yorker based on several interviews and original reporting. The journalist draws his own conclusions, makes independent observations, and editorializes levying judgements and criticism.
The New Yorker follows established journalistic standards and is a reliable source.

Fox News
The subject is talking about himself.
Consensus says Fox is not reliable.
The entire article is dedicated to Alex Shieh.

ABC News
Yes. Statements of fact are fact-checked by the anchor/author of the article and said in ABC's authoritative voice, such as where the subject is going to college and the specific details of the court ruling. The subject's opinions face scrutiny from the other guest and the host.
Consensus says ABC is reliable.
Alex Shieh, and another student, are the focus of the coverage.
✔Yes
Rolling Stone
Yes. Written by an independent journalist who compiles information from interviews and court rulings.
Rolling Stone is not reliable for politics, but the article is used to verify biographical details, not political facts, which falls under culture and is considered credible.
Alex Shieh, his biographical details, and his views, are analyzed and rebutted for over
WP:100WORDS.

Time is credible.

This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.
I disagree with your analysis here. To start, this doesn't even address the point
User:Lamona brought up about
WP:1E. Even if the source analysis is completely accurate, this would warrant a delete by
summary judgment. The source analysis seems to suggest there may be two events (Phillips Academy Poll coverage and affirmative action coverage). However, the
consensus I pointed to previously is that his polling was not notable, and he therefore cannot be known for that event. Wikipedia's policy is "The general rule is to cover the event, not the person. However, if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified. If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." If the editors of a page such as
Affirmative Action believe his role is large enough to be in that article, perhaps he can be added there. But, Shieh's role in the Affirmative Action movement simply is not large enough to warrant a separate article. He is known only for his opinions leading up to and immediately following the
SFFA v. Harvard case.
But, for the sake of argument, I'll also discuss the source analysis. The analysis seems to confuse significant coverage from count of quotations or speaking time. Wikipedia policy is defines significant policy as something that "addresses the topic directly and in detail." The topic of this article is Alex Shieh. Someone discussing an affirmative action argument Shieh made does not address Shieh, it addresses an affirmative action argument. Most of the sources included only address Shieh as an affirmative action critic and Brown University student, before allowing him to speak to the screen about his opinions (not himself). A true source with Shieh as a subject may describe something like his college application journey or story of getting involved in Affirmative Action, for instance. My main objections are below:
ABC News: Lindsey Davis introduces Shieh for less than five seconds at the start of the video, before he debates affirmative action with another student. Shieh is not a subject of this source here, affirmative action is.
Rolling Stone: Firstly, this is definitely a political piece, as it fundamentally addresses affirmative action, a political issue. The article is filed under the "Politics" section on the header, so any assertion to the contrary is misleading. So, the reliability of this source is questionable. And,
WP:100WORDS is just an essay, not consensus wikipedia policy. But regardless, little information about Shieh's background aside from his ethnicity and education is given, with a little more attention to opinions he has.
WHDH: Again, Shieh is simply a messenger in this clip, not a subject. He is described briefly (less than 15 seconds total) with his title, age, school, and organization, before Shieh and the anchor discuss polling results. Subjects here are Phillips Academy and the Phillips Academy Poll, not Shieh.
To summarize, below is my source analysis table (excluding the ones you already labeled as not counting toward GNG, leaving blank the ones I agree with your reasoning and judgment):
Significant parts of article the article are focused on Alex Shieh and his classmate and why they started doing polling, as well as future plans.
✔Yes
ABC News
Shieh is not a subject of this source and only receives a brief introduction.
✘No
Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone politics is not considered a reliable source, and this article is in the politics section.
Shieh's opinions are briefly featured, but he and his actions are not the subject, even though the article may discuss opinions that he has.
✘No
WHDH
Shieh is shown here because he is discussing a non-notable organization's polling results. He only receives a brief introduction and is not a subject.
✘No

Just some context about Jfkadmirer's claims above looking through their edit history. Jfkadmirer previously engaged in an edit war to instate a bizarre one-sentencer (see here) about how Shieh competed in varsity pole vault in high school, which is not at all what he is known for and read like vandalism/prank. Then Jfkadmirer improperly attempted to draftify a redirect (see here). That "separate article" version edits is not at all what this current version here is.

That's not the full picture. The first time I removed the redirect, I'd intended to use that text as a placeholder for a draft. It was then (rightfully) redirected back since I'd accidentally done the whole article. Of course, when I moved it to draftspace again I did it wrong, but at the time I believed a separate article was needed (though I no longer believe this).

Keep. I mostly agree with the first source assessment table, with a minor disagreement where I see the merits of the nominator's point (see my table below). However, I also find the nominator's reading of Wikipedia policy a bit selective and misleading at times.
About the one event policy,
WP:BLP1E says We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met:
1. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.
2. If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article.
3. If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. John Hinckley Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant, and his role was both substantial and well documented.
All three conditions must be met for exclusion under WP:BLP1E. I think 1 and 2 are not:
Condition 1: Sources we both deem reliable have covered the subject in two contexts, affirmative action and polls. His specific poll group being found non-notable over a year ago is of no relevance here.
Condition 2:
WP:LPI defines a low profile individual as not seeking out media attention, and a high-profile person as someone who might have many scheduled media appearances with notable media. Shieh is not low-profile because he voluntarily engages in media appearances on television and through his columns on topics besides polls and affirmative action.
Regarding source analysis, it seems like there is mostly consensus, but I believe the nominator's understanding of
WP:SIGCOV is not correct. The policy says Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. So, whether or not Alex Shieh, or polling results, or affirmative action is the main topic is a pedantic and meaningless distinction. So is a distinction regarding whether coverage is about Sheih or Sheih's opinions--aren't his opinions an aspect of the subject as a journalist that should be included in the wiki article? What makes the coverage significant is the fact that aspects of Alex Shieh are addressed directly and in detail which provides sourcing for all sorts of claims in the wiki article such as his approximate age, education, and career details without the need for original research on our part. Given the emphasis placed on Shieh, it seems a stretch to call such coverage a trivial mention, rather than sigcov. Here is a modified version of the nominator's source assessment table that outlines areas of consensus, as well as my objections.
Shieh and his work are addressed directly and in detail, so that we can source claims made in the wiki article without doing original research ourselves. And, there is more than just the Lindsay Davis clip. There is also a clip with David Muir, and an online news article

In summary, I think this should be kept as the subject does not meet the

WP:SIGCOV (not to mention the New Yorker, which the nominator agrees meets the GNG requirements in all three categories).

This is a brazen misinterpretation of
WP:1E, but I won’t blame you since you’re an IP (and presumably inexperienced at Wikipedia). This is certainly in the context of a certain event. A court ruling and its media coverage is considered an event. How can an organization (The Phillips Academy Poll) be an event? And, how can someone be known for an “event” that isn’t notable? Additionally, to the low-profile individual part, the page you describe says a high-profile individual “ Has given one or more scheduled interviews to a notable publication, website, podcast, or television or radio program, as a "media personality" (
a.k.a. "public face" or "big name"), a self-described "expert", or some other ostensibly (or would-be) notable commentator.” Shieh is not any of these and therefore isn’t high-profile. So,
WP:1E certainly applies.
Again, I find issue with your interpretation of significance, which is understandable since you’re an inexperienced IP. You highlight “ directly and in detail” yet none of your alterations to my assessment actually show Shieh’s coverage being direct and in detail.
ABC: Shieh’s opinions are certainly explained in detail by himself, but again, that is by himself, not someone independent. The actual independent coverage from the anchor simply makes a passing mention to a few of his credentials like his college. Also, per
WP:SIGCOV, multiple publications from the same org don’t count extra.
Rolling Stone: Your independence and sigcov columns contradict. Sure, perhaps biographical details are accurate, but then you’re claiming the description of the author’s work is also even though it’s in the politics section? And, again, Shieh is barely mentioned as I’ve discussed in my previous comment on this issue.
WHDH: The “work” you mentioned is only discussed for fifteen seconds at most. Definitely just a trivial mention, the majority of the clip is about the org itself, not Shieh. And, notice what you listed is stuff that the org did.
The subject is passingly notable for running an unusual polling service and for inserting himself into the debate on the SCOTUS' decision on affirmative action. Individually they might not be enough but having both for the same subject must admittedly be considered in combination. Additionally, the subject has chosen a field (journalism) which is likely to increase their publicity and exposure in the future but also has already done so to some degree (e.g. the interviews and published articles which are with a generally reliable source). So while parts of the material might be promotional, they should not be discounted either. However, a COI warning should be applied if the article is kept to prevent future abuse. -

WP:1E. You seem to think this is enough, while I, Lamona, and XOR'easter think otherwise, but let’s wait for a few more opinions. We can agree to disagree here.
What other references are you looking at? The only other SCOTUS related source in contention is ABC News if you look at the IP’s table. I personally don’t think ABC meets sigcov, but even if it did, would two sources (New Yorker and ABC) even be enough for an article per GNG and

Delete The main claim of notoriety seems to be regarding the High School "polling firm" created - but this is shaky to define (what exactly constitutes a "polling firm"? I have to imagine that a poll conducted by students has been featured on at least local news before, so the question then centers around some abstract margin for what makes a "polling firm" notable). Regardless, while impressive, this does not seem significantly more notable than many other long-term projects done by Ivy League prospect type students around the world. His work as a journalist also does not seem to have yet conferred enough notability to justify an biographical page.
In case it is not clear, I (actually @
A MlNOTAUR) did not change my opinion "upon further reconsideration", and it's a bit strange and worrying to have someone impersonate me just to try to cancel out my rather banal opinion to delete. I maintain that this page warrants deletion and that the project, while nice, is indeed not anything significantly notable to the point of having a biographical page. I'd recommend that the person impersonating me, who I strongly suspect has some degree of
conflict of interest, understand that this type of behavior often only ends up being detrimental to their goals.

Keep after further consideration per above, but needs COI warning.
Phillips Academy Poll was deleted in July 2022, but if you look at
Phillips Academy#The Phillips Academy Poll there were new reliable sources added with the election later that year, so its notability has increased since the deletion. Therefore arguments should no longer be based on its previous lack of notability in my opinion. The New Yorker, WHDH, and NHPR refs in particular suggest notability. This case seems borderline overall but other refs such as from ABC should push towards inclusion; note the subject of the ABC ref is not the SCOTUS decision but rather how the outcome will affect students--including the subject of this article. We should expand coverage of the encyclopedia given the opportunity in such cases. -

New Yorker is the main ref, there seems to be no controversy over counting that. WHDH is good in my opinion. NHPR is good for the polling group, and the subject indirectly.

A collection of weak sources that don't each meet GNG is generally not a good argument for the subject being notable, and primary sources especially should not be considered towards notability. Like
User:Jfkadmirer notes, I don't think NHPR counts at all since Shieh's name isn't in the article. New Yorker being the "main ref" isn't enough alone, Wikipedia is not a place to recite a single source with a bunch of minor facts from other sources added on. None of these articles suggests anything toward meeting
WP:JOURNALIST either.

Keep. As the editor that created this version of the article, I disagree with the deletion reasons above. There is clearly more than 1E, polling (1) and AA (2), (a previously deleted article on his polling does not negate it from being an event which received sigcov). The New Yorker in particular, but also WHDH, cover him in-depth with regard to that. And I agree with the 3rd table, as I have reviewed the sources in question and do find the coverage significant.
Not entirely an "uninvolved editor" like

Glad we agree on Rolling Stone. But no, WHDH describes what the polling organization does, not directly what the subject does (other than his title and age). It is a passing mention of Alex Shieh, who himself is also talking about the poll, not himself. The coverage in WHDH is not even close to the in-depth description of Shieh as an individual and his role within the org that the New Yorker provides, which we both believe meets the point of SIGCOV.

Comment Will not vote due to COI. I attended
Phillips Academy with Alex, the subject of this article. After his first op-ed in Newsweek, he immediately made clear to his classmates that he was going to create himself a Wikipedia page. He confirmed that he had an account and had also been blocked previously, cussing at the platform when this happened. Part of his motivation was to boost his college application, as Harvard was well-known to be his top choice at the time. Beyond that, he believed it was a resume builder. I cannot confirm for certain what accounts he held, but I’d imagine it is no coincidence there are so many sock puppet allegations on this page.
On the contrary, Alex is an extremely controversial (infamous may be a better word) figure at school, so I would not be surprised if the delete votes on this page are his classmates either.
Youthful mistakes potentially, if true. Very possible though in my opinion. Alex, if you read this, you should improve your standards. It does not reflect well. -

Delete. I mostly agree with vergilreader's source assessment and interpretation of sigcov. If users agree that the subject's articles in the Boston Globe aren't independent, I see no difference if the subject happens to be talking to a TV audience on ABC News or WHDH. The introductions the anchor gives is analogous to the short bios given at the top and bottom of the column. I'm also bringing up
exclusion. The first point of advertising applies here, although the subject is a person and not an organization. There's already been allegations of the subject potentially causing a COI here, and nom's points about the article having personal details (middle name and exact birthday) not found elsewhere are particularly concerning. The criteria of barely notable individuals is also important, as the comment above this states as well. Lots of potential for defamation, as the subject is barely notable aside from a "single event in their life that thrust them into the newspapers." Touchstone applies too. Looking at
Google Trends, the site returns "your search doesn't have enough data to show here" for interest by subregion, related topics, and related queries. An article is likely not warranted based on this data.

Neither of those sources meet

The Southern Maryland Chronicle is quite clearly not independent and has clear signs of
churnalism. Parts not in quotes include, for example, As the doors of Verilife’s dispensaries open to recreational users, the company’s experienced staff will be ready to provide the highest quality cannabis products and educate consumers on responsible usage. By leveraging their extensive knowledge and expertise, PharmaCann aims to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all customers. and PharmaCann’s Maryland Verilife dispensaries have been at the forefront of the state’s medical cannabis industry, catering to patients’ needs for several years. Now, with the expansion into recreational sales, the company is poised to meet the demands of a broader customer base while adhering to stringent regulatory standards.
The CNBC article is filled with information attributed to the CEO of MedMen (Bierman) who were attempting the acquisition at this time as well as referecncing a press release. Most of it is attributed even if not quoted. There is an possibly independent attribution to the
Cowen Group of a prediction that is based on the (now failed) acquisition. It's difficult to evaluate the independence of that single sentence, but we do not have to, one statement attributed to another party along with some notes about share prices would not make this a SIRS source.

Delete The NY Times is interesting, but it's one event. Flint is a mid-sized city, not small, not not terribly large, so holding a positing for the city could be notable, but isn't with what we have. Other than marching in the protest, there is nothing for GNG.

Delete. County sheriffs are not "inherently" notable, but the notability claim here essentially boils down to a
WP:BLP1E rather than a substantive claim of permanent international significance.

Redirect to
Bob van Luijt: Found no additional material. Artist's notability (assuming he is notable which I find questionable from a brief look at his article) appears to primarily be in the technology field rather than music so the likelihood of finding more on the latter seems unlikely.

I think the artist is likely notable today due to his involvement with Weaviate, but I do think closer scrutiny is warranted because I have a suspicion some undisclosed
WP:COI has occurred in articles relating to him. This AfD comes out of an examination of related pages after
I reverted a suspicious IP edit. See also
this AfD on another project of the artist's, mostly written by the same account as this one.

Redirect as suggested above. Not sure the musician passes the GNG. The album doesn't. Van Luijt has not been nominated so redirecting is the right course of action, given that there is sufficient coverage for a redirect.

gidonb, I don't think the artist passes
notability, the article doesn't cite anything on him climbing the charts or any kind of certification, and there are couple of primary sources like Github, the article mostly cites that he went to school.shelovesneo (

shelovesneo, between the lines, you could have read that this is also my concern. But I haven't done the research yet to say anything with certainty. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it! Right now: not nominated.

If you or anyone has the time to research further and determines the artist page warrants nomination, I would be interested to review and weigh in. I'm on the fence at the moment.

Keep Meets
WP:NBAND#C5 with two albums on RCA, so notability is presumed, and thus we need verifiability. We have sufficient
WP:verifiability via AllMusic to keep a stub. This includes including some stuff that can be incorporated into the article, such as the fact that
B.J. Cole appeared on an album
[32][33] and the fact that
Jim Rodford and
Bob Henrit appeared on one album
[34].
Given that this was pre-digital era it's quite likely that a good bit more will be verifiable as sources are discovered to expand the article. —
siroχo06:26, 13 August 2023 (UTC)reply
Keep. I've expanded the article and added a few sources. Album releases and coverage are sufficient for notability. There was coverage during the time of the band's existence, although it will be in print sources, so some of it may be hard to find. --

Weak Keep Pre-internet press may be hard to find, but meets wikipedia keep criteria by having multiple releases on a major label, although they don't appear to have been particularly successful or noteworthy.

Comment Indeed, I agree that NYT coverage is pretty promising
Between the Shades. That piece probably counts for GNG for the movie, because there's a lot of background and editorial voice not dependent on the interview. The movie may meet GNG, here's a review on ProQuest, 235 words
[41]. If there is consensus for it I could write a stub or start class article for the movie for a redirect. —
siroχo04:33, 23 July 2023 (UTC)reply
That sounds like a really good idea. Would that save the Jill Salvino Wikipedia page from being deleted? If so I am all for it. Please write the stub or start class article for Between the Shades if this can work. I support this.

Ok I have written up
Draft:Between the Shades. We have 3 in-depth reviews from reliable sources, two are fully independent, while one discloses the author's prior support for the film. We have the NYT interview that has bits of independent SIGCOV, and another 2 background pieces from a single source (author/publication). I think the film meets
WP:GNG and
WP:NFILM. I will move it out of draft sometime soon, given the large amount of coverage we have for it.
Redirect to Between the Shades. There is coverage related to the film in e.g. the
NYT Apr. 2019,
Los Angeles Blade Jun. 2018, a
PFLAG blog announcement quoting the Los Angeles Blade, a review in
Film Inquiry July 2017, a review from
Video Librarian Apr. 2019, and screening announcements from Newsday
2017,
2018.
WP:DIRECTOR#3 includes, The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews; there does not appear to be a collective body of work supported by multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or indications that Between the Shades is a "significant or well-known work" - for example, the film does not appear to be widely-covered, or subject to scholarly analysis, or to have won awards or other significant critical attention. I did not find more independent, reliable, and secondary coverage to help support
WP:BASIC or other notability for Salvino in searches online and at the Wikipedia Library.

The additional sources offered above do not seem to help support having an article about Salvino and an article about the film:
The Chronicle source is a press release (the byline is the location of the screening) announcing a screening of Between the Shades, not an independent secondary source that can support notability of the film or Salvino.
The
NYWIFT announcement of "NYWIFT member Jill Salvino’s documentary Between the Shades is now available on iTunes" recycles content from The New York Times and quotes Salvino. This is not an independent secondary source that can support notability for the film or Salvino.
The
Washington Health Alliance blog interview with Salvino briefly notes she "travels the country opening hearts and minds" showing Between the Shades (without further detail), and focuses on promoting an upcoming event hosted by the Alliance, featuring the film and a panel discussion. This interview and promotional announcement does not appear to be usable for supporting notability of the film or Salvino.
Based on the independent and reliable coverage I have been able to find, sources seem to cover Salvino in a limited manner and only in the context of Between the Shades, and the coverage about her work and career also does not seem to be
WP:SUSTAINED or in-depth in a way that permits us to write a reasonably balanced biography.

Not great I agree but likely just barely good enough as I wrote earlier. If
Between the Shades is notable enough then I think we should also keep this article for the director responsible. So based on the work by Siroxo on Between the Shades, I think we can justify letting this slip by using the NYTimes and other refs in aggregate. -

The result was keep. I am not a fan of these articles but I see a Weak Keep consensus here after 3 relistings so this has to be brought to a close. But those preferring a Merge should take their argument to the article talk page. LizRead!Talk!00:36, 20 August 2023 (UTC)reply
Week keep I suppose the Miss Teen USA is notable, but there is no sourcing in the article and I can't find any (it's from that very early internet era, so might not be found online). The rest seems rather non-notable, going to school, being a vegan.
Merge and Redirect to
Miss Teen USA 2000. We have coverage at the time for winning, which is really more about the notability of the event. The rest of the sources appear to be brief mentions and material written by the subject, not about the subject. Per
WP:GNG and especially
WP:NOPAGE, merge to the parent article. — Rhododendritestalk \\

Weak keep per
WP:ANYBIO#1 as a winner of a well known award. The fact that she gets only brief mentions doesn't disqualify her because sources can be tacked together under
WP:BASIC. There was some (fairly inoffensive) personal information in the article that completely lacked sourcing and I deleted it conservatively out of privacy concerns - if it wasn't published elsewhere it probably shouldn't be publicised here.

Merge - I think the idea of merging into
Miss Teen USA 2000 is wise. It seems that many of the winners do have their own page, though the lack of references & notable elements in Miss. Fry's article would make it well suited to a merge.
