I can find no indication that this article meets the person-specific notability policy, including WP:BASIC. The article uses a number of primary sources, and none of the others meet WP:SIGCOV -- they're all brief quotes or interviews with the subject. Ed  [talk]  [OMT] 20:36, 20 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Speedy Keep The page/image is currently linked from the Main Page. Please wait until the link is no longer on the Main Page before nominating. OfTheUsername ( talk) 22:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Correct. Had I seen this when this was nominated, I would have procedurally closed this AfD as you cannot nominate an article while it is linked from the main page. I did see this 12 minutes for it rotated off the main page, and it was then easier to pull the DYk hook then to close this AfD. Now that the article is no longer of the main page, the speedy keep is moot. Schwede 66 00:57, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Schwede66: I thought that was the case! However, I couldn't find the policy or guideline that supported it so I assumed my memory was off (see e.g. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and Wikipedia:Deletion policy). If that was incorrect, I apologize. Ed  [talk]  [OMT] 04:14, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply
See WP:PROCEDURALCLOSE. Schwede 66 08:14, 22 January 2024 (UTC) reply

When this was created I assumed notability would be met as he had served as a Director at the U.S. National Security Council and senior advisor to a U.S. Secretary of Commerce. However, if the sources cited/available would not be sufficient to establish WP:SIGCOV, I support the deletion. W9793 ( talk)

  • Keep Poorly sourced, but he’s a prominent figure on the think-tank / govt foreign policy scene. It’s not plausible to me that sources don’t exist to establish his notability. Llajwa ( talk) 00:28, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - Passes GNG from sourcing showing in the footnotes. Carrite ( talk) 22:23, 2 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep (weak): I agree with the nom that this does not meet BASIC due to primary problems, but I think the level of sources for the article make a case for NACADEMIC#7, "The person has made substantial impact (Hoover, Brookings, AEI) outside academia (Politico, CBS, The Hill, ESPN) in their academic capacity." The article does need cleanup.  //  Timothy ::  talk  21:05, 3 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    • @ TimothyBlue: Y'know, I didn't think to weigh this bio against NACADEMIC! Looking at the specific criteria notes, I'm not sure they are "frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area" (my emphasis). Their 2020s quotes were sought out because of their 2010s government positions, not because they were briefly a professor in the mid-2000s (with only a master's degree?). That said, I can definitely see how reasonable people could disagree on that, and the case for notability is closer than I thought it was when I was nominating this for deletion.

When you say that there is no sourcing, do you mean that there are no notability-supporting references in the article? What is the added value for WP of frustrating the development of sports articles by our sports contributors and, for the general community, of even more AfDs like this one? Don't we have enough AfDs? I have linked this article to Hewiki and cleaned it up a bit. gidonb ( talk) 21:25, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
When I first came across it, there were two sources to the league. My Before, and in extremely rudimentary Hebrew helped by Google translate found nothing that would establish notability. I have a lot of respect for you as a fellow editor @ Gidonb but you know Don't we have enough AfDs? isn't an argument to keep as it can easily be refuted by don't we have enough seasonal articles when they could be covered elsewhere? They're both bad arguments. If there was sourcing I had missed, you'd have added it. What's wrong with allowing incubation until there is sourcing? (I realize you're not the one who moved it over the draftification. Rhetorical. Star Mississippi 01:08, 14 January 2024 (UTC) reply
you know Don't we have enough AfDs? isn't an argument to keep. Certainly. Just a call for reason. Season articles take a year, cup articles not much less to develop.

There is only one academic paper using the term "Tarrant Effect" by SJ Baele, and two additional sources that cite the Baele article. There are a few verifiable "copycat" attacks, but not enough for a separate article. Ben Azura ( talk) 21:12, 20 January 2024 (UTC) reply

There was enough copycat attacks for Category:Christchurch mosque shootings copycat crimes to be made, so surely there is enough for this. Also, Tarrant’s influence in particular is significant due to his live-streaming of the attack which was a new aspect and inspiration for others. Genberg47 ( talk) 21:20, 20 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Non-notable rapper. The article subject was not notable before he was arrested for murder, and he is not notable for the murder under PERP or BLP1E. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 23:25, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Think about the ramifications of this merge recommendation. This guy's biography would be sitting in the middle of a different guy's biography, which makes no sense for two different people, or even for two different performers who have a connection. it would be like cramming Stevie Wonder's life story into one paragraph of Paul McCartney's life story just because they once collaborated on a song. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 16:31, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I agree; merging his bio would be inappropriate. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 18:12, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - His rap career is non-notable except for his associations with other people, and if he is relevant for someone else's song or some other association, such as Lil Durk, he can be mentioned briefly at their articles. His own music is only visible in the usual promotional and self-upload sites and received no significant media coverage when he was only a local rapper. His murder conviction got news coverage as seen in the sources already used, but per WP:CRIME he is not a well-known criminal and his crime was not unusual. Thus, he was a non-notable rapper and now he's a non-notable murderer too. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 16:37, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Article recently DEPRODed. There is some coverage online on the topic, but I don't believe it's notable enough for its own article. Besides that, the article covers what "green stars" are in a couple lines in the lead and then talks about background information in depth but with few citations and language that doesn't follow MOS. Merging to Spectral classification could also work. Sgubaldo ( talk) 19:57, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Astronomy-related deletion discussions. Sgubaldo ( talk) 19:57, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I'm not entirely convinced that this needs an article of its own; however, the tone problems seem fixable (I made a few edits in that regard), and I'm not sure what the best merge target would be. An article like Stellar classification is pretty intense, whereas this is the kind of topic that might have more casually curious readers. (There's a Feynman story where he uses a math book talking about "green stars" as an example of how all the books he read for the California textbook commission were written by people who didn't know what they were talking about. That seems almost too much like 2004 "In popular culture" Wikipedia to include here, though.) XOR'easter ( talk) 21:38, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Does not appear to be notable. If someone can show multiple secondary sources with significant coverage I will of course retract this. If delete does win then perhaps it is worth a mention in a more general article such as the visual presentation section in Night sky the part on the "Planckian Locus and its effect on the perceived color of stars" would make for a good part of a section relating to appearance in the more general star article. As for the list of things that are not green stars these would perhaps be best included in appearance section for the relevant pages. I would stress the notability of a topic is not impacted by the current state of the article. EvilxFish ( talk) 07:40, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply

BLP of a diplomat who does not appear notable. Most ambassadors are not notable but this person is not even an ambassador, just a career diplomat. Mccapra ( talk) 21:00, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Draftify as requested by the creator per the insufficient coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject does not pass Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:

    People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

    • If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

      This source provides the most coverage about him but is not sufficient to establish notability in conjunction with the other sources, which provide little biographical coverage. The article notes from Google Translate: "Chang Tsung-Che, who loves movies, took office as director of the Taipei Cultural Office of São Paulo in 2018. He took the lead in cooperating with the Film School of the University of São Paulo to organize a Taiwan Film Exhibition, hoping to let the Brazilian people better understand Taiwan through movies. ... Different from ordinary diplomats, Chang Tsung-Che is also a literary and historical worker. During his tenure in St. Paul, he visited Muyi City in the suburbs where the six pioneer Taiwanese immigrant families are located many times. He conducted field investigations on the history of Taiwanese immigration and conducted research on it many times."

      The article notes: "The former official representative of Taiwan in Sao Tome and Príncipe and in Brazil, Chang Tsung-che (張崇哲) was named the "de facto" ambassador of Taiwan in Portugal in July. In this interview, Tsung describes the history of the Taiwanese community in Portugal, the main challenges faced by the community, and possible spaces for cooperation between the island and Portugal in the areas of tourism, technology and business."

    3. I checked the sources in zh:張崇哲 and did not find significant coverage about him. The sources were from non-independent sources like his employer, the government of Taiwan, or contained solely interview quotes from him.
    There is insufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Chang Tsung-Che ( traditional Chinese: 張崇哲; simplified Chinese: 张崇哲) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

    A move to draft will allow the creator, 方志維 ( talk · contribs), to continue searching for sources about Chang Tsung-Che.

(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I brought this to AFD because I proposed this for deletion due to how easy it is to demonstrate this subject has no significant coverage. Which is to say, no reliable sources say this natural feature is important. WP:Geoland confers no special status for natural features and they need to meet WP:N to be stand alone subjects. An editor, added some sources that are not significant coverage of the topic and in some cases don't cover the subject at all. In an effort to make the article longer the editor added other subjects that now occupy more space in the article than the original subject. This was because there are almost no sources about the gas field available. The editor then removed the prod tag. None of the current sources on the article, nor any that I can find say this gas field stands out from the rest as particularly important. And, there are no reliable sources that are written specifically about this subject. James.folsom ( talk) 19:57, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Keep As I indicated in my summary when I removed the delete template after working on improving this article and saving it from the chopping block, the Târnăveni gas field is a historically significant gas field, which has supplied natural gas to the oldest and largest chemical factory in Romania (the Târnăveni Nitrogen Plant). This is attested in several references that I added, including a CIA report from 1950 dedicated to the factory and the nearby Târnăveni gas field, which supplied gas through a pipeline for running the factory. As I also mentioned in the article, this gas was used to produce for the first time in Romania (in 1922) hydrogen from water and gas. Despite the above (rather ungracious) claim, this is not in an effort to make the article longer, but rather, to add historically relevant context for the nascent natural gas industry in interwar Romania, which by the late 1930s had reached third place worldwide (after the US and the Soviet Union) in natural gas production, with the Târnăveni gas field playing a significant role in the process.

  • Keep - collectively the refs fully support the article. No one ref by itself gives significant coverage. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count) 22:29, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Comment How do you still not get this, have you not noticed that none of the sources are actually written about the subject of the gas field. Show me which one specifically says this gas field is an important subject. And, wrong individual sources are what confer significant coverage. They do this by being articles written specifically about the gas field without merely mentioning it in passing. OR they are sources that say something like "this is the greatest most important gas field in ...." You may have noticed none of the sources say this. The name of this gas field never occurs in the title of any reliable source. James.folsom ( talk) 23:22, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment the nearby chemical operations are more historical and have better sourcing. @ Turgidson, why not rename and expand this article to cover them? You've dug so deep into history here it seems a shame to waste the other stuff you turned up. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count) 22:32, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    I agree, the chemical factory deserves an article by itself. It has a pretty fascinating history, starting with production of chemical munitions in WWI (for the Central Powers), and pioneering the development of the Petrochemical industry in Romania in the interwar, its role in the war effort in WWII, its further expansion in the communist era, only to be closed a few years ago. But I spent too much time already trying to expand and source these articles on the Romanian gas fields, with even the first and famous one being proposed for deletion, or arguably the top two ones ( here and here) being pursued for deletion, while another one, the Zau de Câmpie gas field article, with 20 references by now, is being relentlessly criticized and eyed for the chopping block. So yes, I may create an article of that sort at some point when I get some free time, but not under these conditions, which are not at all conducive to positive development of Wikipedia content. Turgidson ( talk) 23:00, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
The cherry on the top being this deletion prod, regarding the onshore gas field with the largest proven reserves in Romania, dubbed by the then-PM as "the most important discovery" since the fall of communism, etc, which was characterized (before my work to seriously research the topic, and expand and improve the article) as "Not sustained coverage, non notable per WP:N" by someone who claims expertise in finding references to articles in this topic, deciding what's notable and what is not, what gets significant coverage and what does not, all sprinkled with snide comments like those here and here. All done with some artificial 1-week deadlines, which first were easy to miss, since I only very rarely edited articles on gas fields before, leading to some being completely gone before I could even look at them, especially with mass prods, ADFs, and deletions going on within dozens of articles at a time. Hardly the way to go, in my opinion. Turgidson ( talk) 05:20, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
So I missed one, big deal. It takes more than one anyway. The goal is to discuss the merits of this article. James.folsom ( talk) 16:31, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I was going to let that personal attack go, but realized I should probably explain for the benefit of participants in the AFD. When I start a WP:before on these stubs, I check the given references for significance and remove any dead ones. If none of those references are significant coverage, I also tag the article so that others can review it. I'm not always perfect on getting it tagged, but I try because it's important to alert others about it. Then I do a WP:before myself, if I find anything remotely significant I move on and leave the tag so that others know to evaluate it. If its extremely obvious that there is no significant coverage I wikipedia boldly propose it for deletion. It's not true that this process doesn't have oversight because the tags are publicized and others can double check me. Turgidson has been removing the sig coverage tags inappropriately because he doesn't understand what significant coverage is. Because of this when I was wrapping up on the Romanian ones I couldn't always tell which were left to be checked. I checked all those again, and where the first time I checked that particular one I had skipped proposing deletion because of that source, the second time I didn't see it. James.folsom ( talk) 18:53, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Comment So asserting that I have no idea what Wikipedia policies and guidelines on sourcing are (after 52K edits over 17 years of wiki editing), or suggesting I better try shopping a Romania-related article missing from ro.wiki to see how it fares there (!) is not a personal attack, but pointing that out is? Or maybe pointing out this relentless drive for mass deletions of Romanian gas fields articles, without affording me (or perhaps also other editors who may want to join in) a decent amount of time to assess the situation and see whether they can be expanded and properly sourced is a "personal attack"? Or perhaps pointing out the categorical claims in those many prods that there is no recent mention of the topic (that was in the first batch of prods), only to switch later to there is no significant mention, or no notability, or no mention with subject in the title, etc, which most times turned out to be not the case, after a bit of research on my part? Maybe if you tried once (only once!) to improve one of these articles, instead of constantly criticizing them, you'll get a better appreciation of the work involved in creating such content, and become more open-minded about what "significant coverage" means in this context, where history, economy, geography, geology, technology, politics, etc mix in not always the most straightforward way. Of course, a currently highly productive gas field or oil field opened in the last decade or two will have much more coverage than, say, those Transylvanian gas fields that opened before WWI and had their glory days in the 1930s or the 1950s (when there was no internet, and written mentions from those times are almost always not readily available, at least not through a banal Google search), though almost all those gas fields are still productive to this day. Speaking of wiki guidelines, maybe WP:RECENTISM would be relevant in better assessing the situation. Turgidson ( talk) 21:09, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Together this should be a clear GNG pass. As for the others, I agree with a redirect to Alfred Reed for El Camino Real (sadly I cannot find anything either). I'm ambivalent on The Hounds of Spring: it's used quite widely in band teaching but I'm not sure the sources above are a clear GNG pass.

  • Comment - It looks like the "El Camino Real" article will be kept, but if so the title will have to be moved to correspond with disambig standards. It should be "El Camino Real (song)" or possibly "El Camino Real (Alfred Reed song)". See the other music-related items at the disambig page. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 14:14, 20 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Non-notable weapon that never left the prototype stage. Sources are extremely weak, and most references online have come from advertising brochures from the company that created it, making them non-independent. Macktheknifeau ( talk) 12:19, 5 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • No possible way this will be AfDed: Lots of articles on the wiki are about weapons that never left the prototype stage, and some of them have reached FA. So that's a non-argument for AfD. Neither original source is "advertising brochures" and neither is in any way related to the company or product. The source that remains clearly specifies it's from Jane's. A quick google turned up an article in Interavia, smaller mentions in Flight and AW&ST, and a lengthy article on GlobalSecurity and the original one from Jane's. Using the program name instead, "Advanced Antitank Weapon System Heavy", turns up many relivant hits and several in-depth articles on both the -H and -M versions. This article is an excellent target for improvement, not deletion. Maury Markowitz ( talk) 17:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Advertising brochures aren't independent of the subject and so don't qualify as a legitimate source. If it were so simple to improve the article (adding a single source) why hasn't it been done in the last 15 years? All those places you mention are routine, insignificant coverage. Macktheknifeau ( talk) 15:19, 7 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Advertising brochures Which advertizing brochures are you referring to?
why hasn't it been done in the last 15 years I don't know, why haven't you updated it in the last 15 years?
All those places you mention are routine, insignificant coverage Janes meets NOTE, and is already included via Andreas. If you care to look for it in Google books, you'll find that Janes has many articles on the topic, including one that details the program in some depth (which appears in multiple publications, as was the case for most of Jane's materials). The article on GlobalSecurity also demonstrates NOTE. One finds many mentions of the program's status in both official and trade magazines, and any number of non-insignificant dicussions in places like Flight and any number of books.
As you note, this article is many years old. Based on your edit history, I'm sure you're aware that articles written in that time frame were subject to far less stringent requirements than they are today. We're here to curate the world's knowledge, not delete it because it doesn't meet requirements that were introduced after that knowledge was collected. As I stated earlier, if your concern is that there aren't enough good cites, by all means, tag the article as requiring more cites. Maury Markowitz ( talk) 15:14, 10 January 2024 (UTC) reply

This page should not be deleted. To be the subject in a well-known book, Bringing Down the House, and movie, 21, as Jane was, seems to be cause enough to keep this page active. The movie and book are both significant. In particular, the IMDB profile for Kate Bosworth, mentions her role in 21 (Kate plays Jane in the movie), and the movie is still talked about in gambling circles, making Jane a subject of continues public interest. In New York, there’s general interest in Jane’s marriage to Richard Davey, who is leading Metropolitan Transit Authority (buses and subways). There are many spouses of government officials who have Wikipedia pages, so Jane’s relationship with Rich should factor in keeping the page.   Coolbeans221 ( talk) 11:16, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply

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);
If edits are being considered in terms of notability the following may be useful for referencing?
Doug's work is considered to be the visual art "face" of the table-top role playing game Dungeon Crawl Classics https://goodman-games.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/MM19_July2014_GoodmanGames1.pdf and has consistently represented the brand since it's inception in 2012 with cover and internal illustrations. A secondary source directly from Goodman Games artist spotlight https://goodman-games.com/blog/2017/10/09/the-artists-of-goodman-games/
He has also worked extensively with Wizards of the Coast on Dungeons and Dragons ( https://www.dmsguild.com/browse.php?artist=Doug%20Kovacs) - this is a simple list of books he has contributed to, I am not certain how to best reference a searched list vs each book individually?

Article has three sources for notability: a deadlink to a local newspaper allegedly saying she ran a schoolhouse and two articles referencing a minor character inspired by her in a relatively obscure play by Richard Montoya. Running a one-room school was not unusual and neither was working as a nurse during the Spanish Flu epidemic (even if there were a reliable source for that claim).

Google searches for Pettus turn up an image of her gravesite on facebook, a local blog post from 2007, more references to the Montoya play and some census records.

    Personally I'd be a lot more comfortable accepting that she's even locally famous other than in connection with the Montoya play if there was a book or newspaper article stating that from before this article and the play were written in 2010, but I'm curious to see what you find. So far the argument for her notability all seems to boil down to that play IMO, which isn't good enough for a standalone article. Jbt89 ( talk) 22:42, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I think it's unusual that Majestic International focuses on providing logistics technologies is the only part of the article that actually says what this company does.

  • ’’’Keep’’’ There are multiple quality secondary sources from a variety of established, respected aviation publications that must not be ignored. There is worth in keeping the article up to be further expanded. At the very least move it to draft space to be edited for a time before being republished, but I don’t think it’s worth even that considering that the article has already been reviewed and approved with the sources it has. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slowtationjet ( talk • contribs)
    Which sources? If you're talking about the ones currently in the article, they're not secondary sources, they're database entries with little-to-no analysis of the airport. Meanwhile, the page was marked reviewed by me, because I brought it to AfD; that is in no way an argument against deletion, that's just the NPP flowchart--once something is brought to AfD the review is completed and further decisions are up to the course of discussion.signed, Rosguill talk 16:09, 20 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    SkyVector, AOPA, Flying Magazines, FlightAware, Visit Canton, and Canton Airsports are not databases. They are fully third party organizations/companies that maintain and publish information and articles about airports such as Barber. The only source that could be considered a database is PlaneCrashMap, which pulls information from the NTSB, which itself is a third party, independent source unrelated to the airport. Same with AirNav with FAA information. Slowtationjet ( talk) 03:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply

    The cited sources you refer to are not secondary prose coverage, they're metadata objects (e.g. [20]) that don't contribute to establishing notability. The only cited source that begins to meet this is the Canton Rep article, which is a fairly weak start given that it's a local paper and coverage there is largely dependent on an interview with the owner. Coverage of accidents happening near the airport is not coverage of the airport itself unless the articles in question devote significant attention to the airport's role in the crash or other history. signed, Rosguill talk 17:46, 23 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Hamas has abducted over 250 individuals. The article does not state why the individuals are notable enough for a specific article. نعم البدل ( talk) 15:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • The point still stands, whether it's an individual or a group, their notability is still attached to the war. If the war didn't take place, there would not be an article on them, if they were kidnapped, for instance, by regular criminals. The article only seeks to emphasise on their kidnapping because it was done by Hamas and that doesn't warrant an article. It could easily be mentioned in an already existing article, if need be. نعم البدل ( talk) 20:54, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ نعم البدل The story and its notability are almost the opposite of that. They were held by "another group" (not Hamas or Islamic Jihad), that is exactly what makes this case notable. That is why they were not released with the other women and children, whoever they were held by was not involved in the negotiations. It is very ambiguous how much control Hamas had over the situation, but the IDF did believe the story that Hamas didn't have them and thus were not able to release them. Irtapil ( talk) 03:39, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply

No, the fact that 200+ non-notable persons were kidnapped by Hamas is not grounds for deleting articles on notable kidnap victims.

  1. youngest hostage
  2. held by the mysterious "another group"
  3. not released in the hostage exchanges (negotiated by Hamas and Islamic Jihad) that released the other civilian women and children.
There are still some gaps in the story, and there are likely to be more unusual aspects to it. But those three already make their story unusual enough to be covered separately.

These are only examples, as this story has been covered globally. These are not passing mentions, but full features about this incident.

Not really. Even in the context of the war, these individuals aren't really known, nor were they notable when they were even in the spotlight. They were merely (and I don't intend to soften their event of being kidnapped) individuals kidnapped by Hamas in a war, they weren't specifically targeted. For them to have been mentioned in the news, was to essentially prove that Hamas did in fact kidnap people, not that they were notable people, and that follows here as well. نعم البدل ( talk) 19:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. The event under discussion clearly meets the notability criteria set by WP:GNG due to its extensive, global coverage in numerous reliable sources. This is not just a passing news story, but a subject that has been continually covered over an extended period, indicating its significance and impact. The kidnapping of the individual in question has been the focus of detailed reporting by major news outlets, which goes beyond routine news reporting and demonstrates enduring notability. For instance, recent articles like the one from The Times of Israel, [38] highlight the ongoing relevance and public interest in this case. Such sustained coverage underscores the historical and societal importance of the event, aligning perfectly with Wikipedia's notability standards. Marokwitz ( talk) 21:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Strong Keep as there is a significant degree of coverage unique to that person. While the main article is good for the encyclopaedic purpose of covering the event, individual kidnappings may still meet the requirements for inclusion. To over-exaggerate, if a movie star had been kidnapped, a separate article may have been created to allow for full coverage; while this is obviously an exaggeration and some kidnapped persons are definitely not notable enough for separate article, this one clearly is.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:

    People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

    • If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

      The book notes: "The following night, in what still stands as the most awkward results show in Idol history, Christina was eliminated in absentia. Seacrest and Dunkleman read the results and looked into the camera, informing the singer in her hospital bed that her journey had ended. Christian's elimination came to the audience as something of a surprise, as she had been an early favorite, and given that Cowell's punching bag, Nikki, remained, the decision sparked the show's very first flurry of conspiracy talk. ... The theories tied to Christian's ouster were hazy and unfocused, but many alleged that the combination of the hospitalization and the surprise verdict were somehow too much to be believed. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer wrote, "Conspiracy theories abounded last week when judge fave Christina Christian was the latest contestant booted from American Idol. Add to the mystery that Christian wasn't even present to receive the news, cited as being ill and in the hospital" and Entertainment Weekly fumed, "Something is rotten in the state of Hollywood. How gullible do the producers of American Idol think we really are? Does anyone really believe the sultry Christina Christian got booted off? Yeah, right, like she got fewer votes than Nikki or RJ. I don't think so. Sorry.""

This bizarre WP:ONEEVENT story was a media WP:SENSATION a few years back and, with the benefit of hindsight, I think it is clear that this is all it was. Sure, it was picked up by a buncha newspapers who laughed and tut-tutted about the ridiculousness and encouraged shock over the horrific health outcomes of it all, but, in sum, this is a story about a woman with a kinda of personality disorder who drummed up a small following on the internet and ran afoul of the FTC. Wikipedia, ultimately, is an encyclopedia. This is not encyclopedic and there is no decent way to discuss this and other similar snake oil flashes in the pan.

The article is pretty poor because it does not do much more than scoff. And rightly so. The subject is asinine on the face. This is why I think Wikipedia ought to exclude it as a subject. It's not a particularly popular fad, it seems to have no staying power, and I think those who were involved in keeping the article up were hoodwinked by tabloid journalism and train-wreck fascination. jps ( talk) 23:32, 19 January 2024 (UTC) reply

The result was no consensus‎. From this discussion, I get the impression that we do want to cover the topic of how the decoration of Catholic churches changed after Vatican II, but not in this form and not with this title. There is no consensus on how to proceed, though. I recommend that interested editors work together to find consensus for a restructuring or merger; failing that, a renomination is possible.

Wreckovation

Wreckovation (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article is about a rarely used derogatory slang term in the context of the Catholic church. There is already a Wictionary item on the same topic, so there is no need to move the article there. The Wikipedia article has the following two problems:

Notability not proven ( WP:N) - the article does not cite any direct source about wreckovation. See also WP:NOTDICTIONARY, point 3.

The content of the article is not coherent and has no clear connection with its theme. Therefore I suspect that Wikipedia:No original research and possibly neutrality ( WP:NPOV) are violated. Jan Spousta ( talk) 16:46, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: A quick before yielded primarily blog results, with few RSs using the term. Except in blogs or mirrors of Wikipedia, definitions are not provided. I think that a good article on "Post-Vatican II architecture" or "Modern church architecture" could be made using academic resources with splitting from Architecture of cathedrals and great churches and Church architecture, with "Wreckovation" a redirect to a section on criticism of such changes. However, "wreckovation" is a specific enough term that it is unsuitable as a redirect to either of those articles. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 18:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • merge/redirect, or keep, but not delete The article is terrible, so starting over isn't a bad idea. But I found plenty of journal articles using the term, and I'm quite surprised that Google's book search isn't finding hits (it's certainly producing tons of obviously bad matches). The reality in English literature on the subject is that the stripping of decorative detail in the reordering of churches (primarily Catholic, but the Anglicans got hit with it too to a lesser degree) after Vat II was extremely controversial in the day. If you think the attack is rarely used, well, in the day, it was used all the time by opponents of the changes being made. Probably a stand-alone article is not the right solution in the end, but the name needs to point to somewhere in WP discussing the reordering and the massive negative reaction against it.
Notability needs a significant coverage, not only the usage of the term in NYT, WP:SIGCOV. -- Jan Spousta ( talk) 08:47, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Thank you for that. But it looks like you proved that the word is used in the described sense (which is something I have no doubts about) and that there are many cases where it may be used by some people. This would be more than enough for Wictionary. But the Wikipedia notability of a slang word needs to show that somebody wrote significantly about the word itself, not only about its meaning. For example there is no doubt that some people use the term "simoleon" and that there is a good deal of literature about one dollar banknotes, but that is not enough to have an article about simoleon here. -- Jan Spousta ( talk) 21:19, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
1. The article recounts the history. It does not merely define the word and demonstrate that it is used.
2. Two references are about the phenomenon, not just the word: The one from Crisis Magazine and the one from The Priest.
3. Since my last response, I have added a reference to an entire book on the phenomenon, though it uses the word "wreck" rather than "wreckovation". There are many such books that could be referenced. Michaelmalak ( talk) 22:28, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
1. The article recounts the history of the liturgical reform (albeit in a very partial and unsufficient way) but it does not explain the history of the term "wreckovation" which is what the article should be about. There is no discussion about the encyclopedical notability of the reform of the liturgical space itself: it is clearly notable, but it cannot be explained under such a derogatory title - the article about it should be as neutral as other articles in Wikipedia ( WP:NPOV) 2. I do not see Crisis Magazine mentioned in the article and the reference from The Priest is only an anonymous essay about boys in the church which mentions a wreckovation only in one sentence, not as its main theme. Jan Spousta ( talk) 08:45, 15 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I just now:
  • Added some of the timeline of the term usage
  • Added a parameter to the Crisis Magazine cite to clearly identify it

  • comment @ Jan Spousta:, your approach to this discussion is puzzling. I don't agree with how you insist such an article be written, but what concerns me more is that you give the impression of being unaware of any controversy in the first place, though any student of Catholic liturgical reform in the USA and its architectural fallout in the latter decades of the 20th century cannot justifiably be unaware of this. Those of us who were interested in it and around at the time couldn't miss it. You are coming close to saying that the criticisms behind the word can be dismissed, which is untrue: those criticisms are amply documented. That is why I think it makes more sense to merge this to some place discussing the changes and the reaction to them. Mangoe ( talk) 20:49, 15 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Mangoe: The discussion about contemporary Catholic liturgical space has not only taken place in the US, but also here in Europe. Many books have been published about it, and it would be good to have an article about it on the English Wikipedia. But the article needs to be neutrally written under a neutral title. Wreckovation is slang, not a term for serious discussion. Slang words can be subjects of Wikipedia articles as words - who uses them and why - but they cannot serve as a starting point for describing what they refer to. See WP:NPOV. Jan Spousta ( talk) 19:05, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply
That's fine,and I said above that I think its mention in an article on the larger issue make more sense. But the mere fact that it is pejorative isn't reason to avoid mention of the slur. Mangoe ( talk) 03:47, 17 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Of course, but the slur should be proven notable ( WP:N) - not everything is worthy to be included here. Jan Spousta ( talk) 13:41, 17 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Per Nom Change of !vote to Weak keep if title is changed. See rationale in "Note" below. Opening lead states, "Wreckovation is a portmanteau disparagement term used since at least 2002...". Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The first source I randomly picked, a 2008 article titled Before and After: St. Mark's in Peoria, Illinois, did not even give passing mention to the offered "portmanteau". The word just did not take off in society. Wikipedia is written for the general audience and not just a specialty group, or a "student of Catholic liturgical reform in the USA". The article might have merit but the title does not. A few people can use a word but that does not mean the word became common or mandate an article be created. The word, as used, only describes the "wrecking" of traditional church style and renovating to some non-traditional style. It does not encompass the re-renovation or reversal "back" ("reform of the reform") to the original style. Over seventeen years after the creation of the new word, it still lacks significant coverage in multiple reliable and WP:independent sources to advance notability. -- Otr500 ( talk) 03:28, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Ctrl-F on the References section shows quotes of references that use the word -- and I just now added some more quotes to the already-existing references.
    The reversal of renovation, and the costliness of it, gives justification to leveraging the word "wreck".
    It is true the word "wreckovation" has not gained footing outside of Catholic publications (other than perhaps the cited college thesis by Bas Nijenhuis), but neither have Catholic-specific words such as "St. Teresa of Avila", which has its own Wikipedia article. Michaelmalak ( talk) 05:09, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Do not underestimate St. Teresa of Avila, Michaelmalak. See Teresa of Ávila#Portrayals. And do not overestimate "wreckovation" which has probably no single relevant Catholic publication under a title containing the word. That's a big difference from Teresa.

The problem is that this article is too one-sided ( WP:NPOV) and also lacks even the basic information needed to understand the changes in Catholic liturgical space caused by the Second Vatican Council. It makes no mention of the debates and documents of the Council or of subsequent papal instructions such as Inter Oecumenici. There is an article in the German Wikipedia called de:Liturgiereform (Reform of the liturgy) which is quite good, explains these things in context, and would be great to translate into English.

It seems to me that there is (almost) consensus that the article cannot remain in this form. But there is no consensus whether to delete, merge or rename it. I think it would be best to delete it because the standard of the current text (NPOV, quality of sources, explanation of context...) is so far below the cited German Wikipedia article that it would be better to take inspiration from the Germans and start all over again.

  • Change of !vote above with title change. See "Note" below: No title change= !vote to delete.
Note: There are options to relist. It can even be relisted more than once. I am struggling with a agreeable solution. There are issues. The entire concept, actual subject, is notable. NPOV issues and the article is "not coherent and has no clear connection with its theme" is valid.
The renovations actually caused somewhat of a schism. The article title, a blend of words, did not actually gain enough notability to become a neologism and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. It is not a job description of Wikipedia to advance word acceptability. The title-to-subject disconnect, along with the apparent article presentation, is problematic as validly mentioned above. The Nom referred to "rarely used derogatory slang term" and as such the title is not notable. The content needs a total rewrite but that is not an AFD concern. -- Otr500 ( talk) 21:26, 20 January 2024 (UTC) reply
As a neologism it's not particularly "neo". And seriously— angels on pins? There's nothing abstruse about the issue: many older churches, especially Roman Catholic buildings, had their interior decoration and architectural detail stripped in the name of updating the space for post-Vat-II liturgy (or its Protestant equivalent). It was widely decried at the time and in the years that followed, and eventually some changes were reversed where possible. It was attacked both as artistic vandalism and as a repudiation of Catholic values and principles. It may be of little interest to people who are irreligious or indifferent to artistry, it's hardly neutral to privilege the opinions of such people.
I agree that using the pejorative word as the name of the article is the wrong way to handle this. We do need to mention it somewhere, though, because it was widely used by opponents of the changes, and every time I come back to look at this it keeps coming back to "we don't want WP to admit of the controversy at all."

Well, the phrase "Post-Vatican II liturgical design" found only 2 pages in Google. It is probably even much less notable than "wreckovation" (17 ths. pages found). Jan Spousta ( talk) 09:25, 3 February 2024 (UTC) reply
A topic doesn't need to be in verbatim quotes for the overall subject to be notable, though I'd prefer "Post-Vatican II liturgical space design" (so as to avoid confusion with the, say, Mass of Paul VI). If you'd like some articles about the actual subject, I'd suggest you read "The Council as Shibboleth: The Rhetoric of Authenticity and Liturgical Space after Vatican II", "Archi-liturgical culture wars", and Architecture in Communion: Implementing the Second Vatican Council Through Liturgy and Architecture. There's quite a good number of sources out there that talk about the thing (liturgical space design post-V II) in a substantial way, and that is what makes this pass the WP:GNG. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 06:23, 4 February 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Red-tailed hawk: I do not object to the notability of something like "liturgical space after Vatican II", but "liturgical space" (space distribution of people and objects in the church) and "liturgical design" (the aesthetics of the church and its furniture) are two different things and the later has not much to do with the council. And I do object to the neutrality and quality of the current article. Jan Spousta ( talk) 10:36, 4 February 2024 (UTC) reply
BTW, the "pure", simple Modernist and later International Style churches started to emerge already in 1930s (for instance St. Wenceslas Church (Vršovice), 1929-1930), years before the Council. And this architecture then influenced even the rebuilding of older churches. The Council accelerated the changes (because of its demands on the liturgical space) but it was not the primary source of the "aggiornamento"/"wreckovation" movement in the church design - the source was the modern aesthetics as formulated by Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and others.

  • Comment - Note the amateurishly Photoshopped pic in the infobox, which makes me suspect that someone affiliated with the band tried to create an image of various recent members for illustrative purposes. But on the other hand, how hard should it be to just get everybody into some chairs and take a real group photo? This is not relevant for notability but it may indicate a self-promotional effort for a band that is not in a stable state. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 16:50, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - They've apparently been around for a long time, and there may be a challenge with translation from the band's native tongue. Since this article includes no information on how their name may appear in other languages, there is no way to conduct a wider search and we will have to assume that the band is being promoted internationally under this name anyway. So a search for "Melissa" in conjunction with "Malaysia" plus various member names and other strategies will have to do. And even with some creative searches I can find nothing reliable and significant. The current footnote #2 is to an article explaining how the band decided to continue after one member's death, and footnote #4 is to an article about member Keff Melissa's solo career. Otherwise all I can find is social media posts and self-uploads. Perhaps they are disadvantaged by a shortage of rock media in their country, but maybe someone with sharper searching skills will find something. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 16:57, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I doubt the notability of this per WP:GNG, most sources on this article are either self-published or trivial mentions let alone significant coverage. A quick look yieled no presence of three reliable sources with none of them consisting of sustained coverage, in my findings I acknowledge that Mr. Wood had contributed in a book but this seems to be published by a self-publisher and I deem it to be subject to WP:USESPS. I had initially applied the {{ Notability}} tag before it was reverted due to this being a "long-standing article with numerous sources", I disagree with this per WP:NEXIST and I would appreciate if another consensus is gathered on this.

P.S. for an odd reason the past nominations were not on the talk page's history, I still stand that a new consensus is needed since the first AfD that was concluded dates from nearly 13 years ago and there hasn't been any sustained coverage since and the 2nd AfD voted primarily for delete. NAADAAN ( talk) 01:23, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Probably delete. I'm normally an inclusionist, and have some doubt about my ability to be impartial in a case where someone's sole purpose in life seems to be spreading religious intolerance, hence the qualification "probably". But I fail to see any particularly noteworthy facts in this article—being arrested for disturbing the peace seems to be one of his chief accomplishments, and that's not particularly noteworthy in itself, even if he got an apology and compensation. Someone has gone through and sourced this article very thoroughly, but almost entirely with sources that are either self-published, promotional, or which cater to a narrow niche of like-minded viewers. I'm not sure that this individual veers over into "hate speech", but I can't see what the justification for this article is. What is his source of notability, besides appearing in videos touting his miraculous conversion from juvenile delinquent, criticizing Islam, and peddling intolerance? All of that sounds very ordinary to me, and being ordinary on tape doesn't make it more noteworthy. P Aculeius ( talk) 13:15, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Of course a banned YouTube-creator on a topic that is not bon-ton in establishment circles in Western countries won't have much of articles to go by. What a disingenuous point to make. Anyone online who is even somewhat outside the establishment right probably recognizes him, however. This deletion discussion (with VERY few participants) looks like a blatant attempt to get him a bit memory-holed with a veneer of "due process". He is very notable within the anti-Islam scene, which is all that should matter. Furthermore, caring that Islam is a "minority" relgion is a hideously Western-centric view. There are tons of users of English Wikipedia in Muslim-majority countries. 78.22.113.217 ( talk) 17:18, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    WP:NMO, I don't see how he wouldn't be in "bon-ton [with the] 'establishment'" as you said. Your remark regarding "VERY few participants" can be explained by the fact this was started yesterday. "He is very notable within the anti-Islam scene" WP:YANARS, there nonetheless is a general criteria for people to be considered reliable enough to warrant an article independent of any 'scene' they're in. I agree with your assertion about concerns of Islam supposedly being a "minority" religion but this is off-topic. NAADAAN ( talk) 20:22, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply
What an odd perspective. Precisely what does this have to do with "the establishment" or its supposed circles? If you mean that he's only known in a small niche community consisting of like-minded people, that hardly demonstrates notability. He could certainly be notable as an anti-Islamic bigot, but nothing in the article suggests that he's particularly notable: there are lots of notable hatemongers, but just giving interviews to niche sources, attending protests, and self-promotion doesn't make one notable.
You claim that he's "very notable within the anti-Islam scene", but what's the evidence of this? What about this makes him notable to the general public? What does this "scene" consist of? Surely not everyone who has a negative view of Islam. If this is someone whom the general public might be expected to recognize, why are the only mentions of him in non-specialist sources about being arrested for disturbing the peace? Lots of people make the news for negative reasons without being particularly notable.
The point about the discussion having "VERY few participants" suggests that you're unfamiliar with AfD. Most discussions only attract a few participants, especially if the subject is little-known but not obviously a hoax, and in the first couple of days. I only saw the AfD because I was notified as a member of WikiProject West Virginia. Attracting four participants within the first day of discussion is reasonably good. P Aculeius ( talk) 11:21, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I'm not sure being known in anti-whatever circles gets you notability. He appears to have little to no coverage in any sources we'd use for notability. He's mentioned many times, but always about getting arrested or about what he said, not really about him. And to be honest, most AfD discussions get very few participants, it's seen a drop in the last few years. Oaktree b ( talk) 16:07, 18 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The sources in the article arguably aren't the greatest, but they are certainly not mainly "self-published or trivial mentions" as claimed by the deletion nominator. The sources in the article are mainly Christian media and local newspapers, which qualify as WP:RS, and even gives detailed information on his personal background (not very "trivial"). There are a few references to self-published sources, but not to the extent of the main content of the article. The article's content also seem to demonstrate notability. Thismess ( talk) 18:54, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    In response to this, I have compiled a breakdown of every source on the article that you are free to verify by your own care and refute:
    • [1, 4, 5, 6, 17, 19, 24, 31-38] Self-published and/or WP:ABOUTSELF;
    • [2] A passing mention on a local newspaper, most of it directly citing the Acts17 website (self-published);
    • [3] A Google search, WorldCat, and a search on the Wikipedia Library yielded nothing so I am unable to verify it, making me think this could be fabricated;
    • [2, 7, 8] Interview which fails to be independent;
    • [9] A translation of [7] which is a non-independent interview;
    • [10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28] Passing and/or trivial mention (mentioned twice or less) notwithstanding reliability concerns in some sources;
    • [11] Article written by Mr. Wood which fails to be independent;
    • [13] Opinion piece which are "rarely reliable for statements of fact" but could be a suitable source if reliability is proven;
    • [18] "The Religion of Conquest" doesn't seem awfully reputable and it seems to be a website advertising Mr. Wood's show, raising COI concerns;
    • [21] Dissertation written by Mr. Wood which can be "considered reliable only if they can be shown to have had significant scholarly influence" per WP:SCHOLARSHIP;
    • [24] I deem this to be reliable, but it doesn't have much relevance in of its own and raises concerns of WP:BLP1E notwithstanding that Mr. Wood is not the main focus of the article;
    • [29, 30] Self-published per WP:NEWSBLOG;
    Please note that per notability is defined per WP:BASIC as there being "significant coverage in multiple (at least three) published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" which I am afraid this article doesn't fulfill. NAADAAN ( talk) 19:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    For reference, I just added seven new reliable sources to supplement the article, just to establish that he has been covered multiple times in WP:RS. Thismess ( talk) 01:56, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    The problem here isn't so much that the sources aren't reliable—it's that they're not sources that tend to demonstrate notability, and nothing that you've cited them for is particularly notable. Even if we suppose everything in the article to be correct and proven, there's still not much basis for concluding that this person is in any way notable. The fact that the only thing cited to non-specialist media merely indicates that he was arrested and later compensated in connection with a protest, tends to underscore his lack of notability. P Aculeius ( talk) 03:26, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
His personal life and Islamophobia seem rather trivial. Many people have similar stories or views. What about these things makes this person notable, besides the fact that he's publicized them in niche sources that only a small number of people watch? P Aculeius ( talk) 11:21, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply
That follower count sounds impressive, but I don't really know whether it is, much less how significant it is. If that's the most noteworthy thing about him, I still don't see how notable he can be. Surely there must be some coverage of him in non-specialist media, beyond the mere fact that he was arrested at a protest, and then compensated after suing the city. If not, it's hard to see how notable he could be. P Aculeius ( talk) 22:35, 12 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Just for reference against the claims that he is not notable in any way, it should also be mentioned that he has a total of nearly 200 million views on YouTube, and even his Wikipedia page has close to 500 daily views (that is 44,000 views in 90 days), both of which are very significant numbers. He is clearly a notable person in any normal meaning of the word, who attracts a lot of public interest. Thismess ( talk) 23:04, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
The point of contention isn't that he lacks total notability in any way, it is that he does not meet the general notability criteria for having a page on Wikipedia. If you take a look at WP:NYOUTUBE, you can see previous consensus and precedent of content chreators who have tenfolds as many numbers as Mr. Wood and still were not deemed notable enough to warrant an article. NAADAAN ( talk) 15:10, 14 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I know, but they probably didn't have any coverage in third party reliable sources, which Wood indeed has. Thismess ( talk) 18:05, 14 January 2024 (UTC) reply
These aren't good sources—nearly all of the ones that aren't self-published or promotional are obscure, niche, or fringe sources, or are being cited for things that don't go toward demonstrating the notability of the subject; for instance, the discussion of an Islamic community center proposed in lower Manhattan. Wood may have had an opinion about that, but having an opinion about something doesn't make anyone notable! Nor does being acquitted of inciting a riot, which isn't even cited to a specific author or publication, but to "Associated Press re-print", an utterly worthless citation as it supplies no details that could be used to locate the source or assess its value (although if all it does is say he was one of four people who were acquitted, it wouldn't demonstrate notability anyway). Nor does the fact that various movements or organizations that Wood is supposedly involved in have been called "hate groups" by the Southern Povery Law Center. Unless they have something substantial to say about Wood, they don't go toward proving his notability! P Aculeius ( talk) 02:37, 15 January 2024 (UTC) reply
We've heard you already. How many times are you going to rant about the same thing over and over? Thismess ( talk) 03:02, 15 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Just wanted to give an update on my improvements to the article over the last several days. In order to more firmly establish the notability of the article, I have now added around 20 new sources to the article, making the total of third party reliable sources to around 35 sources. The new sources include some commentary on Wood's work by prominent individuals/journals/organizations, and a couple new stories, which was a key issue. I have also removed several unnecessary and undue self-published sources, leaving only some that provide a few sentences of supplementary information.

Source number 19 showed notability but as the journal is likely to be biased it may not count. The fact that he is noted in 13 shows that he has notability. Source 13 didn't see Wood in a good light, showing that this particular source is not WP:ABOUTSELF. Source 20 is quite reliable, and mentions him by name as an example of Christian apologetics, showing that he is notable as one. Source 22 also shows notability as he is mentioned in a journal that is not related to Christianity.

    Those who have praised his work, such as conservative Christian newspapers and other far-right political bloggers, hardly meet the WP:IIS:

Licona has, philosopher William Lane Craig has, theologian Scott Ventureyra has, and author William Kilpatrick has. The SPLC has criticised his work. All providing notability in one way or another. And your claim that the article has no WP:RS for other coverage of Wood's activities is a blatant lie. Thismess ( talk) 11:48, 1 February 2024 (UTC) reply

*Delete: BLP, Fails GNG and NBIO. Sources in article as shown in NAADAAN's source eval, and BEFORE found nothing with WP:SIGCOV from WP:IS WP:RS addressing the subject directly and indepth. BLPs require strong sourcing.

Article has been refbombed, but if someone finds WP:THREE sources that meet WP:IS and WP:RS and have WP:SIGCOV which requires direct and indepth coverage of the subject, ping me. Please don't list a dozen sources, the three best sources will do to demonstrate notability.  //  Timothy ::  talk  06:00, 4 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. There seems to be a misunderstanding about notability where mentions of a name are assumed to confer notability. I waded through as many of the refs as I could (and some were not readily available to me) but nothing that I could see got close to WP:GNG.   Velella   Velella Talk   10:02, 4 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Ok, I'll address the latest comments with more concrete points on some sources that can not be deemed "trivial":
Ref 4 and 20 gives non-trivial summaries of Wood's YouTube/online work in an academic journal and a news magazine (quoted in the article), giving him notability as an apologist
Ref 9 is an in-depth local coverage of a debate with Wood and an atheist, noting his arguments, which also intertwines with his background story as he notes
Ref 6, 13 and 14 are non-trivial academic discussions in books/article discussing Wood's background story in relation with his field of Christian apologetics, showing it has notability itself
And we have the 4-year lasting coverage of numerous news articles about his activities in Dearborn, which has been noted by even deletionists to have notability. Thismess ( talk) 18:40, 4 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Draftify or else Redirect per Rupples. I think drafitify may be a better option in this case as the page is a new creation, having been started on 13 January. Indian schools can be vexing - I have said it elsewhere - as it can be hard to find the level of sourcing required in English language sources. Nevertheless, per Rupples, the sources on the page do not pass muster and neither can I find much elsewhere. I did, however, discover a bit more by also searching for "Deepthi HSS" and "Deepthi HS, Thalore". Still no secondary sources, and what is on the web is all quite recent. I wondered if the foundation date was right, and found this page [48] which suggests it is not. That gives a date of 2002 for the establishment of the school. Also the numbers seem inflated, as sources I found suggested 300 students. It could have grown though. All the same, as it stands, there are significan concerns both about notibility but also about the reliability of the information. As such, this is not ready for mainspace. It may just be TOOSOON for the school, although if it has been around for 20 years (at least) and is really as large as claimed, it may be secondary sources will come to light and an encylopaedic and accurate page can be written. As such, I would encourage the page creator to develop it in draft space. Alternatively we can redirect it until such a time as information comes to light to fix and expand it.

Thanks for letting me know. In that case updating my !vote to redirect per Rupples.

Some of the article's sources talk about joy but some talk about happiness. Should the topics be separate or should this be turned back into a redirect to Happiness? If this article was kept, it would need to basically be remade from the ground up, but I don't know if it needs to be a separate page. BuySomeApples ( talk) 04:10, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Yes, it's a mess. I won't fight very much, but surfing for "joy versus happiness" indicates that there are two very different concepts, the short-living emotion and the long-term state of mind. Unfortunately the two meanings are getting mixed up. Rather than merging them, can't we work on discerning them more clearly? LucSaffre ( talk) 11:22, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I have made improvements to the page, by reworking the lead, adding a citation for "joy vs. happiness", and information and citations about the psychological and health benefits of experiencing joy. I could find multiple reliable sources (such as one from The Conversation and another from Washington Post as well as scientific journals) on why joy is very good for us, but finding citations for the distinction between joy and happiness turned out to be a lot harder. I can find several on Psychology Today, but I also tried to find other sources, keeping in mind Wikipedia's policies about sourcing. When in doubt about a site I was not sure about, I searched on Wikipedia to see if other articles used the site as a source. I have started a discussion at RSN for Impactus and Learning Mind. I have citations for "joy vs. happiness" from both sites, and if they turn out to be reliable, I will add them. Seckends ( talk) 14:47, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Keep. There are many similarities between joy and happiness as expression and feelings but there are also many big differences when it comes to the state of the person. I am just finishing a lengthy study on this very topic of joy and happiness, and hope to contribute to tis article shortly.

Does not appear to meet notability criteria. WP:GEOFEAT makes clear that buildings on national heritage registers can be presumed to be notable. There is not such presumption for those on a state list like this one. <Edit: this building is not on the state list, it was simply nominated 22 years ago> That means WP:NBUILDING requires WP:SIGCOV - here there is the application for state listing, plus two single line mentions in other local sources.

it's tough to find a lot of news coverage for smaller companies. But we shouldn't solely judge their significance based on news. The lack of extensive coverage doesn't mean they aren't impactful. While it's reasonable to be cautious about notability, we should also weigh factors like how long they've been around, their profitability, and the impact they've made on the industry or community. These aspects can offer valuable insights into their notability. Trimmer56 ( talk) 19:33, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Look, I'm not opposed to using lists in articles. If they can say something tangible and of substance, they're worth citing. But that isn't the case here: the article overall is refbombed, with the vast majority of these being short references that aren't saying anything before quickly moving onto the next subject. Couple that with some review quips, and its definitely a mountain out of a molehill situation. It has all the hallmarks of Niemti's wikipedia work. Kung Fu Man ( talk) 03:22, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Merge to Characters of the Tekken series. There's a reference or two here that could be nice, but the bulk of this article is basically as nom describes. There's nothing substantial really being said about the character here, especially given how minor a lot of the commentary is. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk) 04:48, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I find this a notable character with multiple reviews and featured in multiple popularity rankings [56] [57] [58] [59]. Even if the reviews are not in-depth analysis on one character alone, they are definitely not passing mentions of just the names either, and demonstrate much more popularity than the average among those 80+ characters listed in the 'List of Tekken characters' article. It is also well-referenced and by itself consistently garnered an average of 4000+ monthly views for the past 8 years. [60]. And if we need real-life influence, this character seems to be popular for cosplay activity as well, examples [61] [62]. -- PeaceNT ( talk) 21:05, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ User:PeaceNT Regarding the last two, there's no indication from that article she's a popular subject of cosplay, just that one highschooler commenting on her briefly for the whole article. The second is a professional shoot for a Tekken commercial, and also doesn't highlight her specifically.
Now as for the rest
  • The Redbull list has...two sentences about her gameplay.
  • There's no indication Dread Central is a reliable source, the article is by someone called "Foywonder", I can't find a staff page, and the article is dictating the events of the film?
  • PSU is probably the one source with any discussion and it's barely saying anything...
  • The MSN list is a listicle that is not saying anything. "They ranked her 20th out of gaming's hottest women" means nothing.
No offense, but if this is the best it illustrates my point in spades.-- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 21:16, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:

    People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

    • If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

He went from a poverty-stricken life of travel to earning “almost immoral” amounts working for investment bank Goldman Sachs in London. ... He stayed on for two years though, saving money and gaining important experience. ... After his adventures in Africa, Healy returned to Dublin in 1998 to try his hand at venture capital and thedot.com boom, getting involved in “various vaguely entrepreneurial things”. After September 11, things changed and he lost interest. He remembered his promise to himself about writing a book. He’d started writing a murder mystery in South Africa and half-heartedly sent it to a few publishers, but it wasn’t the finished article. In March 2002, the writing bug struck again."

      The article notes: "The Healy family was a small and close-knit one, because when Alan was five and Ronan was two, their parents' marriage ended, and father Michael left the family home in Deansgrange and emigrated. He is currently based in Thailand, and maintains a good relationship with his sons. ... After school, Alan completed a B Comm, and took a job as an analyst in mergers and acquisitions with investment banking and securities firm Goldman Sachs, in London. Although it was a very well-paid and prestigious job, he knew it wasn't going to be a perfect fit for him long-term, and left after two years. He then entered what he describes as his "idealistic phase", where he went to help start a brick factory in one of South Africa's townships for two years. His adventures there included being held up at gunpoint during a robbery on wages day, a detail he only casually mentioned to his family when he was home for Christmas two months later."

I realise the writer of teen sci-fi adventure Tommy Storm is younger than I imagined. The fair haired writer is 39 (and married, with a 13 month old girl) but for some reason I expected him to be older. Perhaps it’s hearing about all the jobs and experience he’s had in that time. He stays at jobs for such little time that he assures me no bank manager will ever give him a loan. After travelling for a year, then earning big bucks in Goldman Sachs, Healy went to Africa to set up a brick factory in one of the townships, helping locals build homes."

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says:

    A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:

    1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.

      The review notes: "The second book in the series from Irish writer AJ Healy starts just after Tommy and his four knight friends have been captured by gangster Nack Jikilson - and when they escape he follows them across the galaxy. ... Tommy Storm is not a particularly likeable character, and although this book is riddled with intelligent crossreferences meant to amuse, it just comes across as though it's trying too hard to impress. Billed as a comedy adventure, it's not that funny and the adventure is confusing. However, being confusing means that it's unpredictable to the end, and it is heart-warming in parts."

    2. Thompson, Mary Shine (2009-11-14). "Gems of gloom and global warming". Irish Times. ProQuest  309197507.

      The review notes: "Tommy Storm and the Galactic Knights (Quercus, £6.99) is a sequel (but of course) to Tommy Storm, and its narrator helpfully advises readers that they can skip the generous footnotes and information boxes. The book is crammed with characters with names such as A-Sad-Bin-Liner and the kind of smart-alec ripostes, puns (there's a Straddlevarious violin) and exclamations that many youngsters find hilarious. You will get the drift if I tell you that Tommy and Co outwit a monster and mount an offensive against chocolate terrorists to save the universe."

    3. The author's website Internet Archive notes: "The Sunday Tribune included Tommy Storm and the Galactic Knights in its Top-Ten list of "the best crossover reads" - being "books that parents can sneak a look at while the kids are doing their homework. Fables that work on one level for kids, and on a mythic level for adults. Books that engage on the kind of emotional plane that some adult novels can only aspire to. And so, in the wake of the Potter and Twilight sagas, here are 10 of the best books to get all ages squabbling this Christmas over who gets to read them first." Tommy Storm and the Galactic Knights is, they say, "an enjoyable romp, full of fizz and humour.""

Shulk, despite being basically the poster boy for Xenoblade Chronicles and and a major character on his own, doesn't seem to meet general SIGCOV thresholds for me. All of his Reception is sourced to reviews of the game- which, while not unusable, requires some sourcing beyond just the reviews- and to his Smash appearance (The latter of which barely classifies as commentary, with a lot of it boiling down to "He is a strong character") and the only other source I could find was an admittedly solid book source, which I'll link here. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Posthumanism_in_digital_culture/jjYTEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Shulk%22+-wikipedia&pg=PT115&printsec=frontcover Beyond the book, there is very little significant coverage of Shulk as an individual character. I feel a merge to Xenoblade Chronicles may be the best AtD, given most of the sourcing in the article is straight from reviews of that game. I'm unopposed to a future recreation, but Shulk as it stands right now is very lacking in terms of what's needed for a standalone article. Has one ever considered Magneton?

  • Keep as creator (though I wasn't notified?) Beyond the source already mentioned in the nomination, there's significant coverage literally in the article. Here's an entire lengthy article written about him. Sergecross73 msg me 01:04, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Apologies about the issue with the pinging. Didn't realize that Twinkle was sending it to the wrong person. In any case, I'd argue Shulk's coverage is a bit lacking, as it doesn't really illustrate that the character is notable himself. It's basically all tied to reviews of Xenoblade Chronicles and Smash, which as mentioned is pretty lacking. The reviews give good coverage to him, I agree, but it doesn't really illustrate why he should be a separate article, given how they're all focused on his role in that specific game. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk) 01:10, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Didn't see the source you linked when I replied, sorry about that. Either way, the article doesn't seem to be too much in terms of significant coverage, since it's just a summary of Shulk's appearance in Xenoblade with some admittedly solid developmental info. I don't think it's enough to salvage the article entirely, unfortunately. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk) 01:13, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    What are you talking about? We've got multiple detailed sources, and an article that is 100% sourced. That's all we need here. Sergecross73 msg me 01:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Could you clarify what you mean by multiple detailed sources? Do you mean in terms of conception, reception, or both? I'm just making sure I don't misinterpret your argument by accident here. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk) 01:28, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: The nominator admits that the Posthumanism in digital culture source is solid. The engadget article is clearly independent and specifically about the character. A well-sourced article. Toughpigs ( talk) 01:35, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    The Engadget source may be about the character, but there's not really much being said in the article. It's basically just a summary of Shulk's appearance in Xenoblade Chronicles rather than any form of commentary of analysis. I don't believe it really qualifies as an independent source for SIGCOV in this case. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk) 01:38, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    That doesn't make any sense. Every aspect of the Engadget article is about Shulk, and it's not a short article. It's the definition of SIGCOV. Sergecross73 msg me 01:54, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    It is about Shulk, but it's not SIGCOV. This is a plot summary article, and I don't see any meaningful commentary or analysis in here. If I'm wrong and missed something, feel free to correct me, because I'd be happy to count it if it does. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk) 02:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    It's literally a third party source discussing the subject in significant detail. That's what the GNG requires. Whether or not you found the commentary personally meaningful is completely irrelevant. Sources detailing subjects is what we need. Sergecross73 msg me 02:29, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Just because it can be verified as existing does not mean it is inherently notable. There needs to be some form of impact shown via the character, whether that be via outside discussion or via a real-world impact. Something like the book source above does that: It's an outside source that actively discusses the character in a meaningful context. The Engadget source is merely a plot summary. While it's an outside source, it doesn't provide much for the article. Where would it be used? It can't be used for Reception. At most it would sub in for a source used in Conception. It doesn't add anything meaningful to the article. The reviews fall under a similar issue, as they analyze Shulk's role in the context of the game exclusively. The book source discusses Shulk's actions in the game, but uses these actions to analyze beyond the work in question. I'm not against plucking from reviews, as they can be used to great effect in an article if there's enough coverage on them. But if the only sources are reviews with only one additional source, then the subject is better off being covered as a part of the work being reviewed, not as a standalone article. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk) 04:29, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    You're misapplying these concepts. The WP:GNG does not require any if that of its sources. It simply requires sources to cover a subject in significant detail, which it does. The rest of what you're saying would apply to a short stub or article highly redundant to its parent article, of which this article is neither. And the irony of it all is that your source - the one that ties the subject to transhumanism, is probably some of the best evidence that he is discussed outside of the scope of his respective games. Sergecross73 msg me 06:55, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    You have apparently missed the excellent "Conception and creation" section. Simply repeating "it's not SIGCOV" is not helpful. Toughpigs ( talk) 02:29, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    I definitely agree that Conception and creation is definitely the highlight of the article, but it definitely doesn't justify a split given the lacking Reception. Shulk isn't someone like Varan where the massive amount of behind-the-scenes information justifies the article's existence. There's some good stuff, but I don't think it's enough to justify a split from the main article. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk) 04:33, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Varan is a fine article, but it's something to aspire to work towards, not the bare minimum bar to clear for a subject to have its own article. There's substantial content here - two detailed paragraphs of development/creation info, specifically about the subject, that is entirely reliably sourced.

  • Weak keep To clarify leading into this, I'm going with "Weak" because I'm spread thin and did mainly a cursory look online. However, this article from Paste magazine discusses his role in the story with some thoughts, VG247 also gives some thoughts, as does this other article from Engadget, and some thoughts from Edge. I feel with the book ref above (which seems to be in scholar also under two papers?), there's enough here.-- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 08:34, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. It's not the strongest article, but the sources already in the article, as well as the sources Kung Fu Man found, have demonstrated that it passes WP:GNG. - Cukie Gherkin ( talk) 18:02, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
The sources provided by Kung Fu Man, I'd say, in conjunction with other sources, definitely show to me that Shulk is definitely worthy of a split, thus I'll be withdrawing this nomination, given all votes thus far have been keep ones.
