Paul Vaurie, the nominator is responsible for identifying potential sorting categories. That's why the form asks you to identify topical areas involving the subject of the article. It's important not to skip filling out this section of the nomination. LizRead!Talk!06:35, 31 August 2023 (UTC)reply
@
Liz: Thanks Liz, but I'm not that clueless - I clearly included the categories "Music" and "United Kingdom" above when I nominated the article. However, I think that a technical issue occurred - I don't understand why the AfD didn't go into the categories. Perhaps I reloaded too quickly when I submitted the query with the XFD Twinkle thing.

Comment - I see that the article has been significantly altered. In my opinion, the current article, while in need of expansion, no longer reads like an advertisement, and meets both notability and verifiability thresholds by linking to multiple secondary sources. Perhaps this AFD should be closed?
I don't want to do that unilaterally at this time, since I'm the one who opened the AFD, but if nobody closes this or objects in the next few days, I'll probably go ahead and do so.

This list has no encyclopedic value. "Large aircraft" are defined by aviation authorities such as the FAA and ICAO, and basically include all the airliners, transports, flying boats, bombers and oddballs of any significant size. The class of large aircraft is huge and this list will grow endlessly over time. But it has no cohesion other than a bureaucratic designation. These types are better listed (if at all) within the various more familiar classes I just mentioned, such as the
List of airliners by maximum takeoff weight.
There is already an article on large aircraft, covering their characteristics, history and so forth. It includes a historical list of the largest built, so there is no mileage in repurposing this list article along such lines.
The
previous AfD in 2014 got tangled up while these and other issues were being figured out, and failed to reach a consensus. Now that things have settled down for a few years, it is time we revisited the matter. — Cheers,

Size of a list is not a valid reason to delete it.
List of aircraft list dozens of lists of aircraft divided in alphabetical order. And it is not indiscriminate since it only list aircraft that US Federal Aviation Administration classifies as large, and which are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia articles.
DreamFocus18:02, 25 August 2023 (UTC)reply
Keep. Meets
WP:NLIST per "Further reading" section in the article. Has very clear inclusion criteria (FAA and EASA definitions) of three types. In the current list, every item is bluelinked to an article about the entry, so even within the relatively clear and strict inclusion criteria, this list is far from indiscriminate. This informational list allows readers to compare length, span, maximum takeoff weight, and other characteristics, so meets
WP:LISTPURP. I'd be willing to help split out the "Lighter than air" section as it sort of confounds this list, but it may be able to be included with some work. I think an editorial decision to merge the
Large aircraft § Largest built section and this list would be reasonable, but it is not necessary as an AfD outcome, at the moment they are built differently and such a merge will require a deeper familiarity with the pages in question. —
siroχo17:45, 25 August 2023 (UTC)reply
Keep I participated in the last AFD back in 2014. This article has far more things listed than the other article does, and more columns showing additional facts as well. There are hundreds of lists of aircrafts in
Category:Lists of aircraft and its subcategories. This list has useful information, not just a list of names, so is more useful than most of those, and only list aircraft of a certain type.

Comment: OP here. I'd be happy to see a merge back in to the main article. The current "list of large aircraft" still only includes types which were largest in some way; neither its title nor its inclusion criteria reflect that, and those two things are what really need to be abandoned. But for the merge to happen, it needs to be recognised that the list of Largest built is going to dominate the criteria of what gets included and what gets dropped, and that will mean dropping role-specific stuff such as the heaviest military hang-glider, or whatever. — Cheers,

Keep - Definitely Encyclopedic value and whilst the list contents (correctly) overlap other existing lists, this article/list provides unique value for those searching for this information. I don't see the value in a merging with other (admittedly very related) articles, but perhaps a discussion on a examining if there is a better name for the list. (For my opinion, I agree with @
Thewolfchild above, and then it would benefit from intro paragraph describing many different ways to quantify "largest" (the longest ships list is only about 1 aspect of ships: length), not sure what the most ideal word is here though (Record-breaking? Of exceptional size? Notable? (<- last one is not very encyclopedic) )

passing mentions that mention it as part of the XM lineup without going into any significant detail about them. And since the target article now includes links to both

The article notes: "Reunion Road Trip kicks off on June 10 with All My Children fan favorites Rebecca Budig, Eva LaRue, Cameron Mathison, and Jacob Young, who come together at an exclusive Hollywood mansion to celebrate the show's 50th anniversary with surprise visits from former cast members Alicia Minshew, Debbi Morgan, Kelly Ripa, and Darnell Williams. The second episode, on June 17, features the Original Fab Five from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy — Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley, and Jai Rodriguez — as they reassemble in Los Angeles to give Rodriguez a makeover for his 40th birthday."
The review notes: "Jersey Shore‘s Reunion Road Trip played out like a long overdue meet-up with all your friends from high school — only if every trace of your time together had burnt down in a fire. ... But mostly, this Reunion was about reminiscing over clips we couldn’t watch (™ MTV) and making sure The Situation feels as humble as possible before he very likely heads to prison. But hey! At least he was able to cushion some of his friends’ blows with the neck brace he scored when infamously ramming his head into a concrete wall during their inglorious return to their Italian homeland in season 4."
The review notes: "This one-off special is a surprisingly candid, funny, and touching half-hour of television that reveals what happens when fist-pumping, binge-drinking gorilla juice heads grow up. ... The special opens with a Behind the Music feel as Mike — who through the years has also appeared on Dancing With the Stars, Celebrity Big Brother, Marriage Boot Camp, and Worst Cooks in America — recounts how high their highs were over six seasons of Jersey Shore."
The article notes: "Titled Reunion Road Trip, the unscripted entry will capture an epic show reunion as the cast drives down memory lane, making familiar stops along the way — sharing stories, revisiting hot spots and catching up on each other’s current lives. Viewers will follow the lifelong friends as they come together to gossip about each other’s lives, what has been said about them in the press, the juiciest moments and stories from behind the scenes that we never saw, and most of all talk about the pop culture hit that has bonded them forever."
The article notes: "The cast of the MTV reality show “Jersey Shore” are coming together again for a new reunion docuseries at E! “Jersey Shore” stars will be in the pilot episode of “Reunion Road Trip,” an unscripted development project that will reunite a variety of casts each week, a source confirmed with Variety. Producers are considering both unscripted and scripted series casts for possible future episodes, with “Jersey Shore” as the only group currently lined up. Greg Lipstone, Simon Knight, Adam Greener, Emily Mayer and Lauren Stevens will executive produce the series."
The article notes: "The unscripted series will be called “Reunion Road Trip” and will feature the cast taking a trip down memory lane. They’ll visit their old stomping grounds, including Jenkinson’s in Point Pleasant Beach, as they reminisce about the original series and catch up on each other’s lives."
The article notes: "“Reunion Road Trip” was filmed primarily at Jenkinson’s Pavilion Restaurant in Point Pleasant Beach. The reunion wasn’t allowed to film in Seaside Heights, which hosted the series from 2009 to 2012. Cast members were arrested, got into brawls, and, as explained on “Reunion Road Trip,” relieved themselves all around town."
The article notes: "This four-part limited series draws to a close with “Back in Scrubs,” an hour devoted to the cult medical sitcom that ran from 2001 to 2010, first on NBC, then on ABC. Leading players Zach Braff (J.D. Dorian), Sarah Chalke (Elliot Reid) and Donald Faison (Christopher Turk) embark on a quest to find Rowdy, the show’s beloved — if taxidermied — dog. As they look back on their “Scrubs” years, they run into other ex-colleagues, including Judy Reyes (head nurse Carla Espinosa) and Robert Maschio (Dr. Todd “The Todd” Quinlan)."
The article notes: "Oh my gosh, they’re back again! Thom Filicia, Ted Allen, Carson Kressley, Kyan Douglas and Jai Rodriguez, aka the Original Fab 5, are reuniting to give one of their own a makeover in an E! Reunion Road Trip special. Almost 20 years after Queer Eye for the Straight Guy premiered on Bravo, the cast is coming together to celebrate Jai’s 40th birthday and giving him a surprisingly much-needed makeover."
The article notes: "Now, thanks to E! Entertainment's Road Trip Reunion series, the original fab five return to our screens for a heart-warming get-together in which they turn their gaze on one of their own, the youngest and only non-white member of the group, Rodriguez, for a surprise makeover on the occasion of his 40th birthday, filmed in LA in the midst of the Covid-19 epidemic."

This list attempts to list NASCAR drivers for all series. It's become bogged down and is overly broad (
WP:SALAT), with some sections not being updated for years. Additionally, it cites no sources (

Undecided. It's unencyclopedic to have a dynamic list only for the latest season. The list should then be split according to season so that the content would not be of a transient nature. However, we already have articles about seasons, which would make this restructuring pointless. Therefore, I lean delete.—

This is fair. If the list were a list of all NASCAR drivers, by series, by year, it would be theoretically better. That would basically be an entirely new page/pages though, and would likely also be massive, unless divided by season.

Undecided. While a current list of NASCAR drivers is helpful as a research result, that information can be found in the current seasons Wikipedia page.

I support this change as well, with the inclusion that the list is changed to be a full list of all drivers to have competed in the sport, up to and including the current season. All seasons, beginning in 1949, have a section with information relevant to that season, such as the number the driver was in at that time, number of wins, top 5s, tops 10s, etc.

I worry this would end up too long as well, as we already have a all-time wins list, and many drivers had multiple numbers. Having 75 sections seems far too long and broad for a list.

Comment I do not believe this should be deleted. An organizational scheme similar to the one present at
Lists of National Basketball Association players would probably be better for aiding navigational purposes in this area (Note:
List of NBA players redirects there and
List of current NBA team rosters is a subtopic).How we get there isn't particularly important, whether it's by moving this page and restructuring, or redirecting it once an appropriate target is in place, or through a more complex set of actions. Regardless, the title is not inherently unsuitable even as a redirect, so deletion isn't the right action here. I would hope that even if others feel otherwise, and do not believe the page title should exist in mainspace, they would at least consider userfying this or pushing it to some projectspace subpage given the history here.

Keep and (potentially) Split: I don't believe it's overly broad, and the list, while perhaps a bit long, can be split for easier maintainability. Secondly, while each NASCAR series season's page has a list of drivers, the way they present the two are very different with this article focusing on the statistics of the driver over simply listing the actual teams. The fact that it's unsourced as of right now is also not a reason to delete as membership can easily be shown by anyone with a search engine. Articles are kept on the existence of sources, mind you. Similarly, the fact that some sections are rarely updated is likewise not a reason for deletion. All these problems are fully surmountable, leading me to vote to keep.

None of these leagues meet the relevant notability thresholds. It's likely that
WP:NCORP applies, but even the lower threshold (in terms of source independence) of
WP:GNG is not met here. In fact, none of them have any independent sources that provide significant coverage of the individual leages.
Articles included in this nomination per
WP:BUNDLE are:
* Keep This is an obvious effort to wipe out this entire swath of content; to remove from Wikipedia the league structure of this geographic section of California. It then sets a precedent to wipe out this type of content across all the other regions across the country. Each of these leagues carries an equal status of the qualification path to section championships. In theory, over time, eventual champions will be fairly evenly distributed. Some teams and perhaps their leagues will excel under certain conditions for certain periods of time but this includes all sports over an extended period of time, at a minimum this leaguing structure will last a few years but most follow similar structure for decades. Some of these schools have existed and played sports for over a hundred years. All of these and all other similar leagues WILL qualify under
WP:SIGCOV. How can I make such a statement? Because there are newspapers, broadcast media and sports specialty media everywhere in the USA. They want to sell their content. Sports is a staple of news content. Any media wishing to claim local significance has to cover the local high school sports teams, each of which will participate in these leagues across a variety of sports for championships year after year. The content has to exist. Under
WP:N it would be called "presumed." Since I don't know this area well, I Googled a random league. I took Southeast Yosemite League. Here's
[11] a
Bakersfield Californian article about the relatively short history of this league and the long term build up to its formation.
MaxPreps defines the league for football here
[12]. Here's
[13] baseball coverage, cross country and track coverage
[14], basketball coverage
[15]. And here is the wider metastasis. A kid from the league goes to college and plays in Missouri, so they mention the league in which he was a leader
[16] and note this is from a previous incarnation of the league with different team structure. There are pages of results under the league name which can be found with very little effort.
WP:BEFORE says before you delete, put in the effort to look. It's there. If you don't feel there are enough sources in each article, use your editing skills to put it in for your own satisfaction, rather than taking an uninformed effort to damage Wikipedia by deleting content you do not understand. I suggest this entire nomination be removed.

Keep - although the redirect arguments are technically correct, I'm finding
Trackinfo's
IAR argument very compelling. I am not recalling the specifics, but we had a similar discussion about athletic conferences in a Great Lakes state several years ago that closed as a Keep. Google isn't the end of the available information as we all know. High school athletic programs in general are subject of great interest to the general public (at least in the US and Canada) and are generally covered very well in local media. Conferences are the framework of most of the competition. Things like foundation, termination, schools joining and leaving are going to be covered in some depth by the local paper and in most cases will get a mention in the state athletic authority's newsletter or blog and may even be the subject of a short blurb in
USA Today or
The Sporting News. In a practical sense, having articles on athletic conferences allows us to report athletic history in individual school articles more completely without cluttering them up with what are in the worldview minor information. We can just link to the conference article for that. In almost every case, it is possible to provide the readers with considerable verifiable information on, for example, yearly championships referenced back to the conference's website.
So, the TLDR version of the above is: there's a weak Keep argument based on presumption of local coverage and a compelling IAR argument based on utility.

Comment – I carried out searches for these nominations, but I also based this nomination on 1. the deletion of the referenced previous AfD and 2. my assumption that the situation would be substantially identical for all these cases. It's already been shown that at least one of the nominations shouldn't be considered with this nom, so I struck that out in the list above. I weighed the benefits of individual noms against the very high workload that those individual noms would have put on the limited resources of AfD. If it turns out that there is substantial difference between these leagues in terms of notability, individual nominations may be necessary, though.
This is an obvious effort to wipe out this entire swath of content; to remove from Wikipedia the league structure of this geographic section of California.
I don't quite understand the accusatory tone of this. Large swaths of articles on inappropriate topics are frequently created (primarily by new editors) and often subsequently deleted if the community finds them to be inappropriate. Remember that Wikipedia is
not a directory. The argument that All of these and all other similar leagues WILL qualify under
WP:SIGCOV directly contradicts
WP:CRYSTAL.
Notability requires verifiable evidence, and editor analysis that a subject will certainly become notable in the future is unverifiable. Calling this nomination an uninformed effort to damage Wikipedia by deleting content you do not understand is
unduly accusatory and hardly
civil. I understand your argument, and the bundling of these nominations may not have been the best way to go. But it was well-intentioned, and I would appreciate some civility as we figure out how to proceed with this. Thanks for your work and your time.

I'm sorry this took me so long, I had other obligations rather than to spend hours on wikipedia. I shouldn't have had to do it for you. I believe I have added at least one source or more to each article listed above. As predicted there is local media coverage of each league. I tried to keep sources limited to discussing the league, specifically the All League players, which would be the kind of seasonal, routine league coverage I had predicted would be there in my earlier comments. That coverage goes back year after year if you want to follow it. This is the "presumed" coverage the notability standards refer to. Its there for every one, and for those pushing for a precedent to wipe out such leagues globally, its there for any scholastic league you look for. If any local media were to ignore the local sports, it would be a death sentence. If you don't find it for virtually anywhere in the USA, most likely it is your incompetence at google. Outside of USA, your media quality may vary. In addition to the wide view of the league, there is coverage of competition in the various sports administered by these leagues including national sport-specific media. Each school also self promotes the progress of their teams, measured by their place in league standings. If you press this, we can load these articles up with all of these other sources. That wouldn't be appropriate for an encyclopedia with a broader view. Pay attention. Sources exist and this quest for deletion should not. If you had looked, this "discussion" shouldn't have existed in the first place. That is what
WP:BEFORE says. And the repeated failure of NOMs; to make nominations before looking for sources, is why I take such a condescending attitude.

There is no independent significant coverage that meets the requirements set out at
WP:GNG. All I can find is, he was twice caught in the news. First, for his involvement with some land deals that reached litigation that just happened to involve a football club, which is what the news was actually interested in. And second, when it was found that a block of flats that had gone viral for its "squalid" conditions was owned by him. I feel silly having to say this, but neither one, nor both together, should be enough to qualify a person for an encyclopedia entry, even one as inclusive as ours. Also, we should not be creating an article about otherwise non-notable people to list out bad things about them which were not severe enough to make them famous and result in massive court cases that find them guilty. And he is otherwise non-notable. Remove those two incidents, and we are left with zero secondary sources. Usedtobecool☎️13:23, 1 September 2023 (UTC)reply

Sorry, but that Echorouk Al Yawmi article is about a different Mohamed Amine Hamia (

[18]) that is essentially a match report/match preview, but it's not simply routine coverage as it shows an competing club paying attention to Hammia in the 2018-19 CAF Champions League group stage. I suspect there's more to find, but I'll have to dig a bit.

Not really a distinct genre. During a short interval in the early 2000s it appears that this phrase circulated a little bit, but overall, nowadays, such games are categorized as
action-adventure games. The notion of this hybrid genre named in this way this also conflicts with how a game like
Myst is not a "first-person adventure" (a game of this hybrid genre, i.e. a first-person action adventure), but at the same time it is a first-person adventure (a first person adventure game, and it is often described using those words). Sourcing is lacking. Fails

** First-person adventure as an adventure game of the [[walking simulator]] subgenre of such games, played from a first-person perspective
* First-person adventure as an [[action-adventure game]] that combines first-person shooter elements with adventure game elements
@
Alalch E.: Commenting to say that the verbiage used in the proposal does seem to be veering on the side of
WP:OR. How did you assess the DAB list entries? Would those pages make mention of the genres being "first-person" adventure games? As it stands, none of those three articles really highlight the first-person aspect, although there is a "Category:First-person adventure games" which could possibly come in handy.

Utopes:Would those pages make mention of the genres being "first-person" adventure games? The DAB proposal doesn't call "First-person adventure" a genre, as it isn't a genre. Player perspective (first-person, third-person etc.) is not a defining characteristic of a genre when adventure games are concerned. Two of the three dabbed articles do say as much, mentioning the attribute "first-person" to say that there are such games in this player perspective, among others (emphasis mine in examples):
Graphic adventures are adventure games that use graphics to convey the environment to the player. Games under the graphic adventure banner may have a variety of input types, from text parsers to touch screen interfaces. Graphic adventure games will vary in how they present the avatar. Some games will utilize a first-person or third-person perspective where the camera follows the player's movements, whereas many adventure games use drawn or pre-rendered backgrounds, or a context-sensitive camera that is positioned to show off each location to the best effect.

Adventure game#Graphic adventure Comment: This was the target of the former redirect; the links to the redirect in articles directed players to the content that explains the classic adventure genre, as was intended, but this was broken with the restoration of the content usurping this relationship and causing nonsensical linking, see my comment further down
They are distinct from graphic adventures, which sometimes have free-moving central characters, but also a wider variety of commands and fewer or no action game elements and are distinct too from text adventures, characterized by many different commands introduced by the user via a complex text parser and no free-moving character. While they share general gameplay dynamics, action-adventures vary widely in the design of their viewpoints, including bird's eye, side-scrolling, first-person, third-person, over-the-shoulder, or even a 3/4 isometric view.

Walking simulator. Comment: It is not original research to say that walking simulators may have a first-person perspective. The article fails to mention this, but it should really be mentioned, as it is more of a prominent characteristic of walking simulators then of adventure games in general and of action-adventures. The games the article takes as examples are adventure games with a first-person perspective:
Dear Esther (that article: "Dear Esther is an adventure video game" /fails to mention the first-person perspective/),
The Stanley Parable (that article: "The Stanley Parable is a story-based video game /vague about the genre/ ... The player has a first-person perspective, ...),
Gone Home (that article: "Gone Home is a first-person adventure video game"),
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (that article: "... is a 2014 horror adventure" /fails to mention the first-person perspective/),
Firewatch (that article: "Firewatch is an adventure game played from a first-person").Sources that discuss the first-person and the third-person perspective in walking simulators:
@
Alalch E.: Hello! Firstly, I didn't intend that "first-person" was included in the genre. To my understanding, the genre is "adventure games", and "first-person" is the modifier.
When I bring up the current
WP:OR, it says in the proposal that: First-person adventure refers to the following types of video games. I'm mainly just asking the question of: is there any evidence to suggest that "first-person adventure" is what ANY of these types of games are referred to as, and whether this referral has any basis beyond "it's an adventure game that is in first-person, therefore it's a first-person adventure [game]". None of the articles refer to any variations being described as a "first person adventure", nor is there any coverage about the significance of an adventure game BEING in first-person besides passing mentions that they can be [in first-person], which is akin to most other game genres.
In the first source you linked for the walking simulator portion, "first-person" was only brought up once as a passing mention. In the second source, it is talked about a lot more extensively, but it calls this topic a "first-person walker", which is at least specific for
walking simulator games and could possibly exist as a redirect. Still though, my concern is that none of these adventure game articles really cover the "first-person" nature apart from passing mentions tucked among a collection of camera angles and perspectives. Would there be a difference between this and
third-person adventure, or
side-scrolling adventure, or
3D adventure? (3D adventure happens to already have a dedicated subsection at the
adventure game page). In any event, my point is that I don't think a DAB page with this title is going to be very useful for finding relevant content, because it's not a topic that is really discussed in detail on any of these pages, nor is there much to suggest that "first-person adventure" is a significant description of anything beyond an adventure game with a first-person perspective.

I have returned the article to its roots. After doing some research I was able to definitively conclude that this was originally a fan-POV article about one tiny aspect of Metroid Prime. See the
original revision from 2004. It was due to sheer confusion and name ambiguity that editors began editing it as if it was about anything else, which is when it mutated to be about nothing really. Seeing that it was truly terrible, it was redirected and this redirect was semantically repurposed to target an entirely different topic (a mention of the first-person perspective in our coverage of classic adventure games), but the RfD nominator, participants, and closer, not understanding that the redirect was somewhat justifiably repurposed in this sense, seeing its more recent history whereby the blanked content was about a supposed genre, and seeing how this supposed topic did not match the topic at the target, restored this terrible content over the redirect, reinstating the article. Erroneously, as what resulted was a bunch of wrong links, which I cleaned up. Now that it's clear what this article's subject actually is, a non-notable phrase, I as nominator stick to my initial deletion nomination, but, a redirect to
Metroid#2002–2009: Metroid Prime and Game Boy Advance games (contains the following mention: Nintendo stressed that it was not a first-person shooter but a "first-person adventure".) could be a valid ATD. I no longer intend to pursue proposed DABbing, but I am not against it either. —

Disambiguate: I'm actually surprised that
walking simulator discusses this category of games, and the content doesn't appear here. It strikes me as an error as this is the name for the genre that doesn't carry negative connotations, as per
WP:NPOV and
WP:ARTICLETITLES. But instead of fighting for several moves/renames, disambiguation is a good first step. I'd expect this to give me the information seen at
walking simulator, and there may be some people who expect it to refer to more
action-adventure games that are played from first person.

Wikipedia’s criteria for inclusion apply to articles about Wikipedia and Wikipedians as much as any other. As this is an article about Wikipedia editors written by Wikipedia editors, there is clearly a conflict of interest to be aware of. The PROD was removed entirely legitimately but only (I assert) because a PROD can be removed for any reason – the explanation given included It's a very notable group that plays great role in promoting Wikimedia Movement and Wikimedia Values wolrdwide. More over, this effort counters the m:Gender Gap which is one of the biggest tasks for the movement, which clearly points to a COI and a
non-neutral point of view – those are not of themselves valid reasons for retaining the article.
Notability is neither inherent or inherited. For the group to be notable, significant, independent and reliable coverage
of the group itself is required. What I see is riding on the coattails of Wikipedia’s notability. The article should therefore be deleted.

The Radio Free Europe article appears to be about someone who has created an automated Bashkir language poetry generator and which briefly says this group was asked to help. The Pravda article appears to be describing an initiative by the
Federal Agency for Ethnic Affairs (Russia) to preserve Russian languages and I think it is recognising the Bashkir Wikipedia and this group as part of that. I agree these are both reliable sources independent of the subject, which is part of the
WP:GNG requirement. Neither of these articles is about this group and I certainly do not see evidence that the first is anything like the also-required
significant coverage. I had also discounted the second but maybe a Russian expert could help assess it better. Even so, WP:GNG says that multiple sources are generally expected and I am not yet persuaded that the group itself is notable. And given the inherent
WP:COI, notability has to be beyond doubt, IMO.

What is an urge to attack grannies? Wikimedia Movement values urges us to be generous and to develop Wikimedia Movement.
Wikipedia has no firm rules and Wikipedia is not in favour of
gaming the system. You are trying to delete grannies no matter what (despite ~20 sources present in the innocent article). You are trying to fetch all possible rules just to delete, delete, delete -- this totally contradicts with
WP:SPIRIT of Wikipedia. I have a feeling that you treat Wikipedia as a

Keep. Notability is not fame or noteworthiness. Notability is a construct. This group gained media attention because of their association with Wikipedia. They inherited noteworthiness from Wikipedia. This led to significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This coverage means that the subject is notable. It doesn't matter why it's notable, once it's notable it's notable. See

Comment. One more solid piece of IRS SIGCOV would be sufficient for me. Here's my source analysis: 1. encyclopedia.ru: passing mention in what
appears to be a group blog. 2. resbash.ru: some background on the topic, but most of it is an interview with a member about Bashkir wiki-volunteering in general. 3. zdf.de: video that throws an error code. 4. bashgazet.ru: about editing Bashkortostan Wikipedia in general, no apparent mention of "Wiki-Grannies". 5. udmdunne.ru: announcement for a Ural wiki-seminar, no mention of topic. 6. chaskor.ru: passing mention. 7. kp.ru: mentioned in half a sentence. 8. ru.wikinews.org: not independent. 9. gosvopros.ru: substantial coverage. 10. gosvopros.ru: coverage by the same outlet and author as #9. 11. prufy.ru: mostly interview material. 12. bashinform.ru: passing mention. 13. ru.wikipedia.org: not independent. 14. kazanfirst.ru: Q&A interview, not independent/secondary. 15. bashinform.ru: mention in a quote, not secondary or SIGCOV. 16. idelreal.org: mention in a quote, not secondary or SIGCOV
Thanks for the analysis. ZDF video appears to be broken, but it existed. Maybe there is a way to get that video. There are probably also Russian and Bashkir videos from
VGTRK, but I so far failed to search them (they are from on-air TV). As for "8. ru.wikinews.org: not independent" — yes, not independent, but reliable and original. It was written directly in English (and Tatar/Baskkir) by
Farhad Fatkullin, who is not independent, but is very familiar with the subject and is realiable as a source because he can be trusted in terms of factual accuracy and other types of relevance. --

Thanks for the link. It looks like the only thing accomplished in this discussion was a determination that if a list of episodes fits in the article, that's where it should go. In this case, the list is clearly too large so we have to rely on
WP:LISTN which, by my reading, would indicate a list of episodes for any podcast that is distributed on the standard platforms is notable. You find these lists on Spotify Apple, Google, etc. which I would consider reliable sources for this purpose (not necessarily for the information in the lists but for the fact that a list of episodes is something important to report for these podcasts). One could make a

Weak keep I lean toward delete for most podcast episode lists, especially if the podcast doesn't have an overarching storyline. Personally, I've interpreted
WP:NLIST to mean that reliable secondary sources have to actually discuss the episodes as a group rather than simply listing them like Apple Podcasts or other syndicating platforms. There are some sources that do this for 99% Invisible such as
Podcast Review and
Timeout and there are others that comment on the number of episodes such as this piece in
The Guardian. There are also individual episodes that appear to be independently notable. For instance, the episode about
missing-children milk cartons called "Milk Carton Kids" has coverage in
The A.V. Club,
The Atlantic, and
PodCastle.There are various other episodes that have also received coverage such as "The Sound of the Artificial World" in
Slate, "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" in
The A.V. Club, and "The Known Unknown" in
IndieWire. However, I'm not sure if two sources discussing the episodes as a group, one episode that is arguably notable, and a few other sources about individual episodes is really enough to warrant a list for over 500 episodes.

Delete (Probably) - As an independent app I agree that it has essentially no real "coverage" (many apps don't, and many apps also don't get wikipedia pages). I'm unclear on if the "ReVanced" app is developed by any of the same members, as if it was it might actually make more sense for the "YouTube Vanced" article to be renamed ReVanced as it would essentially be a name and logistical change of a continuous project. However if none of the developers or team have any stake in this new app, then I would consider it a functionally separate entity in terms of dictating article notability and thus agree to delete this page.

Keep - As Mino already said, for programs in general there are few "news" articles, unless there is some controversy surrounding that topic. For that reason I believe that the standard of what counts as a source for significant coverage should not be as high set for software as it might be for more traditional entities. After all, Wikipedia isn't meant to just be a mirror or collection of "news" articles.
I think notability is proven by the roughly 3 million users this project currently has and by the astonishing amount of copy-cat sites that attempt to impersonate ReVanced for monetary gain or malicious interest. I see value in having Wikipedia as a trusted source to affirm what the actual website is, as it is more accessible and readable than GitHub.
As for the heavy reliance on primary sources: This is essentially unavoidable as any publication could also only ever rely on ReVanced as the primary source for information like the size of the userbase for example.

@
Taku1101: There is an essay detailing how the notability guideline can be applied to software at
Wikipedia:Notability (software); the criteria it uses still depend on the existence of reliable third-party sources, because
WP:Notability applies to all articles, and it says: Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable, independent sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. Unfortunately, there really isn't a way around this, regardless of how you think things should be. Notability also isn't determined by a
WP:BIGNUMBER, nor is it
WP:INHERITED from Vanced, so we need reliable third-party sources to determine notability. While I understand the concern about fakes, Wikipedia
isn't the place to solve that issue, as, again, we are dependent on what reliable independent sources say; per
WP:SELFSOURCE, primary sources are only used for self-descriptive information such as an app's website or version number, and cannot be used to support notability.

WP:RSPMISSING denotes that the absence of the source in question on the list does not make implications in regards to it's reliability. I cannot find further guidance on how this would be treated in a discussion about AfD on the basis of a lack of

Anything between Popeye to Rugrats has had vile pictures drawn by staff, this is just another to add to the pile. Not only is it unncessary, but it also lacks sufficient documentation. Only one reference to this book (might I add without any details) has been discovered that predates the book's leak by YouTuber LSuperSonicQ. Every other reference is written about that video, and no new information comes from them because of it. We don't know enough about this book to be given proper coverage, and again, even if it did, it does not stand out from any of the other books and artwork of its nature. With this logic, the Rugrats storyboard jam "Incredible" (which is of a very similar nature and includes vile drawings of children's characters) should also have an article. This is only been given social significance due to its falsified popularity online, and in reality has no actual historical significance outside of any other animated production.

Keep with questions how does the recency of coverage and/or the source of the release affect something if it is covered in reliable sources? In terms of the former surely it isn't our job to decide what is a flash in the pan that will be forgotten about in 3 months time and what might become - for want of a better term for a book of dirty cartoons - a lasting point of interest? I do agree with StarTrekker that the likelihood that most other shows also have such books made by the staff somehow makes this one non-notable; follow that line to its' logical end and it's "why bother having an article on
Pelé when there are loads of footballers?". If Behind Closed Doors sparks off some weird slew of animator-made porn books getting notable coverage, well I guess Wikipedia would cover them too. But that's a theoretical situation, and as it stands this one seems to have for whatever reason attracted reliable reportage.

Keep - I don't think the deletion rationale is sufficiently focussed on policy. The broad question of whether this needs an article is an interesting one. I'd be inclined to agree that this kind of information could be placed in the Spongebob article itself, except in this case that might be to the detriment of that article. Should the information be covered at all? That is a matter of coverage in secondary sources, and while the secondary coverage here is not extensive, I think it crosses the line for independence, reliability and in multiple sources. I also cannot see an argument that it does not meet the significance threshold. The article itself is not great, and a rewrite, perhaps a move would all be possible, but those are not really AfD matters.

Delete per
WP:SUSTAINED and
WP:NOTNEWS. We usually require sustained coverage by reliable sources under our notability policy; a short burst of news coverage is generally not enough to meet this requirement. With one exception, all of the sources I've found covering this article are pop-culture grade sources published in the four days following LSuperSonicQ's video. While there is a 2012 Hogan's Alley interview in which Osborne discussed Behind Closed Doors in some detail, Hogan's Alley did not provide any information on the book or even directly ask about it. This interview is a purely
primary source from someone involved in the creation of SpongeBob/this book. As such, it does not contribute to notability. Given the lack of sustained coverage, I believe that this article should be deleted (I'm also fine with merging or perhaps transwiki-ing to a more SpongeBob/lost media centric wiki). Note that I did not take the existence/non-existence of similar articles or the perceived need for this article to exist into account as neither of these are relevant to notability.

I don't see any convincing coverage of this from a Google search, and while the first two volumes have a bit more out there on them that might make them notable, I don't think this third volume does. Williams having released notable recordings before and since doesn't mean this compilation is notable as notability is inherited, and so I'm requesting this be redirected so that there's consensus against another editor restoring it.

Robbie Williams is a highly popular and significant recording artist. Wikipedia has comprehensive coverage of his discography. If Wikipedia is to be a reliable public source of knowledge, this album ought to be included in the artist's catalogue.

I don't think
WP:NKICK is the correct criteria, more appropriate would be
WP:MANOTE. Coverage in English of karate events from 50-60 years ago is going to be hard to find. However, a bronze medal at the world championships and 3 medals at the European championships means it's likely that coverage exists, if you have access to French newspapers and magazines from that long ago. There's coverage in English sources of the results and I think that level of accomplishment deserves the benefit of the doubt concerning notability.

WP:MANOTE is an essay on notability, it does not supersede
WP:NBLP. There are so many people who won "medals" in tournaments. There are countless tournament even to this day. Some even only have 3 people per division and they win "bronze" 3rd place our of 3 participant (example). Its especially common for Karate or Tae Kwon Do. The references on the French article also insufficient (archives):
forum Not reliable, forum, no mention of the subject N
No argument on the relative importance of the criteria. However, MANOTE can be considered and he clearly meets "repeated medalist ... in significant event". The WKF is the world's leading karate organization and is so recognized by the Olympics. He didn't finish 3rd among 3 entries in some minor event. There were only two events at the 1972 world championship (men's team and individual kumite) and 220 competitors
[33]. He also won two gold and a silver medal in individual events at European championships. In addition, he was part of the French team that won gold medals at both the 1972 European and world championships.

These are not enough to establish GNG.
Sources on French martial artists from pre-internet times (it was over 50 years ago) are difficult to come by, although the article mentions a few. It's reasonable to expect that there was coverage, especially in France, of a world and European champion at the time.

Cross Rhythms;
HM Magazine. My memory may be faulty, but I believe they also received a review in Alternative Press at the time of release (a magazine that does not have a good online archive). The article notes Billboard placement, which would nail it down decisively, but sadly Billboard's website has gotten a lot stingier meting out historical chart information, and I don't have all the published paper chart books, but maybe someone else seeing this discussion does. A note on that, though: about 14 years ago, I added a link sourcing that chart placement, and that link rotted and was not archived anywhere that I know of.

There are probably a hundred groups you could make that case for on Wikipedia that aren't notable, and even more that have pages here on that basis that shouldn't. The idea is to have enough detail and sourcing available to make a fully complete article of the band's history. I was shown

I've made hundreds of proper band articles out of album reviews and an AllMusic biography. That's the bread and butter of music notability, in practice. The article does not need to meet GNG if it meets WP:MUSIC, and this article meets bullet 1 of NMUSIC anyway, which is just the GNG.

I don't think we've exhausted the independent attention the band got. For instance, I think it's virtually certain that they were reviewed by
Absolute Punk; however, I've had trouble dredging up that site's archive, despite its substantial importance as a music review venue in the late 2000s. We've already noted that there are two substantial offline sources that could build the article, and I don't think there's any reason to think that ends the list of coverage (even though, I would argue, what we have in front of us is enough as it is.) They were covered by all of the most important Christian music sites at the time of their 2008 release, and since
notability is not temporary, crossing the threshold at the time is enough, even if they are not getting much in the way of new media attention in this decade.

It’s too positive which makes it not independent, or the researchers probably just did research at this facility because it was close by so the article they published doesn’t matter, or it’s just local “gossip”, or…I think if the sources are out there, it’s fine, keep the article. But I’m probably repeating myself now.

Comment: our guidelines and policies make no distinction between national coverage and local coverage or between big newspapers and little newspapers. The reason is because Wikipedia wants to include as much reliable information as possible (you know, the old "sum of all human knowledge"). We screen for notability not as some measure of earned merit ("they're big and famous") but rather as an indicator as to whether we have enough with which to build a reliable article.

Otherwise, essentially every single trade association in the US would end up being eligible for an article, because they're generally a 501c6 and they're bound to be written about in a trade magazine somewhere.

Delete. Imagine this text on a trifold brochure printed on glossy paper -- this is a thinly veiled advertisement,
WP:NOTADVERT. Note some of the subtle PEACOCKing, "long been the largest", "one of the oldest and largest", "volunteers came together to provide services", "Gathering in Center City Philadelphia, these volunteers acted", throwing around context-free numbers, etc. And a bullet point list of services. Additionally, immediate sourcing doesn't meet
WP:SIRS. I do however want to note that The Philadelphia Inquirer explicitly meets the
WP:AUD requirement as the biggest daily newspaper in any US state (Pennsylvania). No prejudice against a new article when SIRS sources are found and a proper article is written. —

Something that's come up in discussions many times in talk pages is when regional paper is acting in its capacity as a local paper. New York Times covers more about Manhattan than it does about Los Angeles and vice versa.
