- It feels like there's enough to meet the WP:GNG, and I have a hard time applying something like WP:NOTNEWS to a video game. The scope of the article isn't about the event of Neogaf plays Winnie the Pooh Home Run Derby and finds it to be difficult, even if that's what initially spurred the coverage. Its about a game.

- Comment - The last AFD, which closed unanimously as "Keep", also noted that it had received coverage from NBC Sports, which would be pretty high level coverage for this sort of thing. The link is dead now, but it doesn't change that the coverage occurred, (and could maybe be archived and resurrected someday too.) Sergecross73 msg me 19:28, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Only one reliable signification source (NBC Sports article). Other sources are niche news sources and caspule sized articles at that thus not the world at large required at notability signification in depth. Spshu (talk) 20:39, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- This assessment is incorrect. The consensus at WP:VG/S explicitly lists Kotaku and Eurogamer as reliable sources, and PCGamesN and Daily Dot are frequently used at AFDs to prove notability. As its article suggests, PCGamesN has many editorial staff from past reliable source print magazines as well. I will concede I'm unfamiliar with "Medium" though, I'm open to input on whether or not that should be used. But we've got enough sources to keep even with throwing that one out. Sergecross73 msg me 20:53, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- This assessment is spot on. While Kotaku, Eurogamer, PCGamesN and Daily Dot may be reliable sources, they do not meet notability source level ("...those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time...") as they are niche news, ie. cover gaming thus are not the "world at large". Also, some of the articles are short thus don't meet the significant coverage in length, just like a encapsulate review doesn't meet notability requirements. Spshu (talk) 21:20, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry, but no. One of the main purposes of WP:VG/S is for determining notability of video games. You're free to disagree, but your personal assessment is trumped by long-standing consensus at the WikiProject level. Sergecross73 msg me 21:49, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- NO, the purpose of WP:VG/S is determining if a source is reliable not determining notability, those are determined here at AfD. WP:N is a WP wide consensus which trumps a wikiproject consensus (unless deferred to). Spshu (talk) 22:18, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, are you telling me the purpose of what I've been maintaining for the last 5-7 years? Not sure how you feel you're more qualified to define a project you haven't been involved in, (or flippantly contradict my last 5-7 years of AFD votes that have largely been based around WP:VG/S and have matched consensus) but you are wrong. Feel free to question the WikiProject on it. Yes, obviously every article at AFD is evaluated on an individual basis, but one of the main points of WP:VG/S is determining whether or not websites are reliable, and usable in determining notability. Websites like Eurogamer and Kotaku have a consensus and precedent for being sources that help meet the GNG. Sergecross73 msg me 23:56, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

- keep sources meet the GNG. If someone wants to challenge the list of reliable sources for video games, feel free to open an RfC. But that's where we are and I think it reasonable. Hobit (talk) 02:34, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - I've completely rewritten the entire article according to the reliable sources above, in addition to a few others I found in the process. Please look it over prior to giving your !vote, as its an entirely different article from when it was nominated. Its certainly not perfect - it was a quick and dirty type thing considering time's a factor at AFD - but it shows it was possible to expand it out of stub status, make it more encyclopedic in tone, and meet the GNG.

A search fails to find any significant coverage in the reliable sources. Of the six references in the article, only the second appears to be significant, and it's from a source of questionable reliability. The first is to the company's website, while the last three are for patents. Other hits I could find online are merely company profiles and the like.

- Delete. The second source cited in the article, which the nominator thought might be significant, appears at StreetArticles.com, where it appears that anyone can register and then produce an article, with no editorial supervision; it thus fails as a reliable source per WP:UGC. The piece cited lists its author as "Caller Ready", suggesting a close connection with the subject. Google searches for ("callerready") turned up no significant independent coverage; a Google News search produced no hits at all. Pretty clear failure to meet WP:GNG.

Terrence C. Harris was an NCO with 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment (E Company and A Company). He parachuted into Normandy on D-Day and did not survive the month of June 1944. He did not attain rank or receive awards to qualify him under WP:SOLDIER and his untimely death leaves him with no general notability. His portrayal in Band of Brothers on TV is minimal.

- The article has no references. It does not show any reason for notability. Reb1981 (talk) 22:09, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Neither of those is a valid reason for deletion. If there are no references, one should first try to find some. If no reason for notability is shown, it should be sought. See WP:BEFORE. Now if one could say "There are no references, and a reasonable search convinces me that there are no sources." that would be different. DES (talk) 10:00, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:28, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Strong keep The article is now nearly 500 words long, with 18 cited sources. It shows billboard charting of an album containing it, an award for "Best improvisational solo", and covers by such notable artists as Stan Getz. Significant critical commentary is quoted. The song is a recognized jazz standard. I think it is pretty clearly notable. I also think that a pretty basic WP:BEFORE search should have found at least some of this. The first few references I found were listed in our article about the album, which was the only wiki-link in the version nominated for deletion. Many of the rest appear in a basic google search. DES (talk) 13:03, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

- Delete and redirect to Hannah Fry. The article is a theatre play written by Cherríe Moraga that ran for four days last year at Stanford. Other than reviews by the colleges' publications ([4] and [5]), I haven't been able to find any significant independent sources for this to meet WP:GNG. The author of the article @Tblightning8394: says as much in their edit summary:
...Cherrie Moraga's newest un-published drama set to debut August 2017
. The structure of the article also need work; the lead is a confused mix of plot, the character list lacks cast members and the rest of the article reads like a cross between WP:NOTESSAY and a WP:COATRACK.
- My initial internet searches for "The Mathematics of Love" led me to a 2014 TEDx talk and book by Fry, which is far more notable by virtue of sourcing (Washington Post, stuff.co.nz, Livemint, etc) than this play, hence the retargeting. Fuebaey (talk) 02:14, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

- The working consensus from recent AfD debates is "Cream Dream" and other niche categories fall short on the significance part of the "well-known and significant industry award" test in PORNBIO. Other editors take it further: Technical PORNBIO pass - significant reliable sources = non notable. A raw Google search without naming the non-trivial, reliable hits is of little value. • Gene93k (talk) 19:19, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Follow up - I have been WP:BOLD and merged this into the main article. Closing admin if you would like a #REDIRECT Turbo:_A_Power_Rangers_Movie#Soundtrack can be used instead of deleting. I don't like to do non-admin closures as I prefer other final opinions.

- Redirect to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014 film)#Video games, as suggested by Izno. Games based on popular movie licenses tend to get little interest from either hardcore gamers or reliable sources, but they're still a likely search term for a general readership, I think. The article on the film also serves as a good spot for editors to add sourced info on the game should they come across any. Doubtful that we'll ever get enough reliably sourced content on the subject to justify a separate article.--Martin IIIa (talk) 13:09, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. Offices and elections—city council in Carpinteria, California, population 13,000; unsuccessful candidate for state legislature—don't satisfy criteria for automatic notability at WP:NPOL. "First openly gay member of California Republican Party Board of Directors" (in 2011) probably doesn't suffice; in a 2013 deletion discussion (in which I cast a losing !vote against deletion), consensus seemed to be that "first LGBT officeholder" was no longer sufficient to establish notability. Google and Google News searches turn up no substantial independent coverage; the best non-local item I could find was an Advocate article, cited in the article, which ran only three paragraphs. Seems to fail WP:GNG. Ammodramus (talk) 23:55, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Serving on the city council of a small city does not confer an automatic WP:NPOL pass, being an unelected candidate for election to the state legislature does not confer an automatic WP:NPOL pass, being the first out gay person to hold an otherwise non-notable political office (such as a small town city council or a state-level political party's board of directors) does not confer an automatic WP:NPOL pass — and the referencing here consists of three primary sources, three namechecks of his existence in articles that aren't about him, and two articles which are about him but are mere blurbs in length, so the sourcing is nowhere near good enough to hand him a WP:GNG pass instead. And even if a person can be shown to properly clear a Wikipedia notability standard, he still doesn't get to start or write the article himself per our conflict of interest rules.

- As observed by Comatmebro the only time the subject of your article is discussed, it is by gossip blogs and even at that, there is no in-depth coverage of her supposed career or 'fame', by those gossip blogs. Now @Obari2Kay you however, did magnify my interest in your article's subject when you mentioned she has been covered by reliable press, could you be so kind as to enlighten me and the rest of wikipedia by providing us with sources as to back up your claim of she possessing significant coverage in reliable sources? mind you, gossip blogs do not count as reliable sources, you better focus on WP:GNG so as to understand my arguement, the notability of your articles subject fails the aforementioned guideline woefully. my take is still a Strong delete also read up WP:NotJustYet , Happy Editing sir.

Delete. I somewhat but not completely disagree with Wikipedia’s decision to deem The Daily Mail not a reliable source. The articles I have read from The Daily Mail were all sound articles. Perhaps that is because I don’t read their celebrity material. So I can sympathize with Wikipedians who say The Daily Mail is not a reliable due to their celebrity/tabloid material. If you rule out The Daily Mail as a reliable source, then the article fails to meet WP:GNG because it has not received coverage in reliable sources. Gossipy sources, news aggregrators and the Daily Mail celebrity gossip type converage are not reliable sources. desmay (talk) 01:11, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment. Daily Mail it is a reliable source and it is also a notable print media as Vanguard (Nigeria). I strongly believe this article has more references, so i am going to dig deep to find them.

John Layfield bullying and harassment allegations

I am pretty skeptical this article should exist. First, it appears to remove the context of the situation from his wider career, which I believe leads to this being an Attack page here. Yes, sources exist, but a whole article? The very title says "allegations"; really, an article on speculation? Second, I am doubtful that the sources rise to the kind of national interest level that would indicate this deserves such a lengthy article. I am seeing this as in breach of Wikipedia:Undue as much as my other issues. I think this needs to be re-merged with the John Layfield page. There appears to have been no real discussion of the splitting off of this content from the Layfield page on that page's talk page, so I think a fuller conversation needs to be had about the appropriateness of this page at the very least. In the end though, I'm just not sure this is notable enough independently from Layfield himself (who has his own page). Isingness (talk) 20:06, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

- Comment As the creator of the article I just want to start of and say that I did not intend for this to be an attack on him or anyone else. I can agree that most of the content could be merged into his original article but I don't see how that makes it less of an attack or puts a bad light on him. The main reason I made it was becuse it was getting too big for to just be a section in his article, I brought it up with the wrestling project and I was meet with no resistence so I went ahead with it. I was kind of prepared for this to happen but I thought it was possible that the story would develop more in the future, since the issue seems to have been dropped mostly now since Ranallo signed an agrement with the company I feel like it's probbaly going to calm down. Another option which has also been brought up by other editors on the wrestling project is that it could be merged into an article by the name Hazing in WWE since many of the sources indicate this is a wider issue within the company. As for the "allegations" in the title I modeled it after the Bill Cosby article which has "allegations" in the article name, I figured it was the most appropriate name for it.★Trekker (talk) 20:20, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Trekker, I do appreciate that generally the process is to spin off articles when the content becomes undue for the main page, and in most cases I would usually agree with this kind of article. I would also agree that Hazing in WWE would be an appropriate place for this too if the article is AFD'd with a merge consensus. I am by no means insinuating that you yourself did anything in the spirit of an attack; my concerns are about how we are addressing the content as policy. As regards Cosby, that was a case with a far higher level of public prominence (though I likely would have wanted a different title for that as well). One area we may differ, is in that I think the content about the topic in general is too extensive considering the limited amount of incidents discussed. In the end, I think in most other cases a merge discussion would be equally appropriate as an AFD to deal with that specific issue, excepting the concerns I raised above, which is why I chose to start an AFD instead. Isingness (talk) 21:01, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- That's all good. I feel like Hazing in professional wrestling would also be good because there may very well be a lot of cases of this kind of behaviour in many other wrestling companies (although this title might end up being a bit indiscriminate and wide) but the problem is that I feel like some of what is described in the currect article goes a bit beyond what would be concidered hazing, such as the Blackman incident (which also doesn't seem to have taken place in a lockerroom but in public), which is why I put harassment in the original title as well.★Trekker (talk) 21:13, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

- Delete The recent Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly harassment scandals at Fox News don't have their own articles and those saw the ouster of their CEO and top star. This is more comparable to the Bill Demott situation, but unlike that scandal this one turned out to be a bust. Much of the hoopla surrounded the Ranallo situation and he has since said his departure didn't have to do with Layfield. A paragraph on Ranallo speculation, including the Justin Roberts allegations that got clumped with it, and perhaps his quotes about hazing Miz, should be suffice on the main article. Other stuff, like the Blue Meanie incident should be included in the career section because it was worked into a storyline. Lots of the other stuff really have no place in an encyclopedia. I don't think there's enough here to rework into another separate article.LM2000 (talk) 01:57, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- How about the Styles, Edge, Blackman, Renee and Hardy's situations then? Or the fact that many have said that this is a recurring problem in the world of professional wrestling, something which is endorsed by higher ups and has been for a long time? The fact that this is very simalar to the DeMott situation (and has been compared to that by some sources here) just tells me that this something which could easily be a subject of an article like Hazing in WWE/professional wrestling.★Trekker (talk) 11:20, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- I really don't think we can use most of them. Some, like Blackman and Muhammad Hassan, are told through third party accounts. Others, like Edge, didn't describe it as "hazing" or "harassment"; the stories resurfaced after the Ranallo speculation and were brushed off by JBL as "locker room pranks" which have been known to the internet for years.LM2000 (talk) 11:57, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- I also worry that creating one article about all scandals would violate WP:SYN.LM2000 (talk) 12:01, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- At least in some cases should what Layfield believes it to be really matter when people like René Duprée clearly talk about what he claimed Layfield did to him as harassment? I also don't see how something being known for years but not largely acknowledged matters either. You know, I'm not upset that this separate article will more than likely be deleted but I am kind of disappointed that there has been a pushback at even acknowledging that this is has been reported as a reoccuring issue. As far as WWE go and not an individual level this is clearly being reported on by at least the Wrestling Observer and the Pro Wrestling Torch as being rooted in an old fashioned pro wrestling behaviour which dates back a long time and isn't receted by the higher ups.★Trekker (talk) 12:12, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Layfield's side of the story does matter per WP:NPOV and WP:BLP. Even the title Hazing in WWE is a NPOV-vio because there's dispute about what actually happened and to what extent and we cannot endorse one side and present every allegation as fact. As with Demott, we should describe the scandal, but it must be given WP:DUE weight, and unlike Demott JBL isn't getting fired for this. That's why I suggested mentioning just the allegations with the most weight from reliable sources (Ranallo and Roberts).LM2000 (talk) 13:27, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- But he openly admitted that he hazed people, like with the Miz. It's pretty clear that he simply doesn't think that that's a bad thing. As for only mentioning Ranallo and Roberts I refuse to agree with that, again, he openly admited to misteating Mizanin, and Dupree's accusations were also brought up by Paste for example, as were some others, the Styles incident for example has been reported repeatedly and seems to have had witnesses. The Hardy's examples were writen in their own WWE published book and describes Layfiled encuraging them to commit crimes. I don't see how excluding so many of the stories is apropriate at all. Again, this has been repeatedly reported as being a reoccuring issue, how is it good to just include the most recent examples then just becuse they sparked the debate? Would allegations of backstage mistreatment in WWE be a more appropriate title in that case, or would that be too broad and still POV?★Trekker (talk) 13:47, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- I think that the number of allegations to include on his article, and how much weight they should be given, is something that should be worked out on JBL's talk page; two was my recommendation based on my interpretation of the sources. I don't think a separate article is appropriate per what Isingness, 86.3.174 and myself have said, but if one exists it needs "allegations" somewhere in the title, like the current one. I also don't want to come across as a Layfield defender here, I always try to rework a controversy section (WP:CSECTION) when I see one and I've done it for articles across the political spectrum. Some controversies are notable and pass WP:10YT but are given WP:UNDUE weight, some are just WP:NOTNEWS, some are only covered by unreliable sources, etc. As you said in a response above, this issue is dropped and has calmed down. It got a few weeks worth of play in the press in JBL's 20+ years as a public figure and he is left largely unaffected by the scandal. Compare this to the the Cosby allegations article, which blew up in late 2014 and continues with Cosby going to court in July.LM2000 (talk) 14:22, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- I don't think you have to worry LM2000 I don't think anyone will accuse you of being Layfield defender or anything like that, I for one respects you immensely and think you're a great unbiased editor, (and probbaly a lot more experienced than myself). I do take everything you say into accout and I see your points, I just find it very unfair that some accussation would get ignored becuse the source that reported on them aren't quite as reputable as some of the others and that a larger issue isn't being accnowleged in general. As many of the sources state, this is very well a overarching problem in the backstage enviroment of the professional wrestling business and I do think that could do for it's own article, either confined to a spesific company like WWE or just the industry in general.★Trekker (talk) 14:41, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- I respect your work, so I really don't like having to !vote this way. If the article is reshaped without enough changes I'm scared it'll come back to AfD again. I recently saw that the Kayfabe article was trimmed up nicely, an article on backstage politics in wrestling might compliment it nicely. Another idea is to create an article like National Football League controversies and National Basketball Association criticisms and controversies. I've often wondered why we don't have articles on the 1990s WWF scandals, that would be a good starting place for them and could hold some of this article if it's merged or deleted.LM2000 (talk) 15:04, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- I think something like the WWE criticisms and controversies or Criticism of WWE could be a great idea! It's funny that you brought up the 90s scandals since I recently made the redirect WWF sex and drug scandal with the intent of turning it into an article in the future. That stuff almost brought down the entire North American wrestling industry.★Trekker (talk) 15:30, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

- How about the Styles, Edge, Blackman, Renee and Hardy's situations then? Or the fact that many have said that this is a recurring problem in the world of professional wrestling, something which is endorsed by higher ups and has been for a long time? The fact that this is very simalar to the DeMott situation (and has been compared to that by some sources here) just tells me that this something which could easily be a subject of an article like Hazing in WWE/professional wrestling.★Trekker (talk) 11:20, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete No reason for this type of article to exist. This seems to be another example, similar to Persona and reception of Roman Reigns, of the wrestling fandom taking things too far and attempting (in good faith) to promote and push their own views and agendas via Wikipedia because they are too invested in the product. 86.3.174.49 (talk) 03:57, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- A lot of these sources are not from exclusively wrestling sources but of rather mainstream magazines so this is not just some fan agenda on my or anyone else's part.★Trekker (talk) 11:13, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- I also don't agree with the idea that particles like these have no reason to exist. If a controversy happens to be notable enough it is.★Trekker (talk) 15:32, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Of course articles on controversies and notable subjects are warranted, but unfortunately there is a tendency for wrestling fans to want to validate their own opinions and version of events on Wikipedia. Yes, the content is sourced and the edits done in good faith but that doesn't change the situation here, which is that a bunch of people have added (sourced) content to support the widely-held opinion among wrestling fans that JBL is a bully. Which, whether it is true or not, is not WP:NPOV and not particularly encyclopedic content. Similar to the example of Reigns that I mentioned, which originally started because a bunch of people were adding sourced criticism to his career section, which I challenged and the consensus was to create a separate "persona and reception" section for that content, now that section has so much content that it was moved to its own article which is pretty much a week-by-week catalog of criticisms and negative fan reaction towards Reigns. Again, not really relevant or suitable for Wikipedia but people can't help themselves, and because the content is sourced, done in good faith and fits most editors' opinion then it's difficult to do anything to remove it. Not necessarily accusing you of this personally BTW, I know that you didn't add a lot of this content, it's just something that tends to happen.86.3.174.49 (talk) 18:40, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- That's fair, I wasn't around when the Reigns split happened so I didn't that it was a recurring problem here. Either way it's pretty clear that consensus says that this article should not stay, can this be speed up by an admin or the like?★Trekker (talk) 18:55, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Merge Maybe these allegations are notable, but the be allegations about this dude. Is he notable? If true, then this should be part of an article about him, or maybe something in an article about the WWE. Writting about allegations has a potential for libel so every claim must be really well backed up or deleted ASAP.--Pgapunk (talk) 23:10, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Comment Wouldn't a merge mean that? I mean this title would be a redirection to that section of the John Layfield article?--Pgapunk (talk) 22:42, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- Part of the issue is the appropriateness of the title, so a redirect wouldn't solve that particular problem. Deletions don't mean this content can't go back to the JBL page though; I don't think anyone here is arguing that he isn't notable as one of the most prominent wrestlers of the last twenty years. Isingness (talk) 22:53, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- Mergeto John Layfield for now, though I think making an article about Hazing in WWE or Hazing in professional wrestling could have legs if it covered more than just his incidents. Pinguinn 🐧 17:08, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG. The Banner talk 18:46, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- KEEP It was a Important Air Surveilance System for decades, when it was new it was one of the modernst Air surveilance systems but it was also one of the air suveilance systems who stayed very long in active service and paved the way for the today system. "Fails GNG" is just a cover argument for The Banners constant hunt on me and articels i worked on. The number of from The banner nominated articels i had written (especaly about the Divison General) shows exactly that it is not about GNG and draves a clear picture... Very interesting is that ther is now a long line of AfD s from against articels from me..it is no coincidence that he now drag FLORIDA Airspace monitoring and management system and SRF Airspace monitoring and management systemto AfD after they exist already 4 years with "Fail WP GNG" at the same time put no other radar system who was not written from me in question (like Austrian air defense or French air defence radar systems) who's WP GNG is even weaker.FFA P-16 (talk) 08:35, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

I was able to reach some of them via google - e.g. [6] which 404s via google on title goes to [7]. In contrast I wasn't able to find "Übersicht Radarsysteme der Schweizer Luftfahrt" easily - it's also dead. Some of the titles should also be fixed (particularly giving context to the youtube) On the other hand - User:The Banner - while youtube in itself isn't reliable, if what is shown there is an historical film - then it probably is something.

Keep her "greatest achievement" was not winning a beauty pageant, nor dying, but deploying the celebrity therefrom to advocate for assistance and research of the plight of those afflicted with a disease that is mostly inherited by Black people (thereby disproportionately afflicting those with less resources and access to care than is typical of chronic disease-sufferers in the First World, and eliciting less largesse for research and relief for the same reasons). Her looks made her, literally, a more attractive and more effective spokesperson for this charitable cause. Her death as a victim of the disease, ironically, also raises sickle cell anemia's profile and enhances her efficacy posthumously. That she has garnered less First World press than reflects the celebrity as a positive role model she enjoyed among Blacks is to be expected (I first heard of her on a rap radio station). She's been dead less than a year: Give her reputation the time and opportunity to reverberate that it deserves. FactStraight (talk) 14:56, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Eunice Murray was notable for only one thing: being Marilyn Monroe's last housekeeper, who was the first to notice that something was wrong with her on the night she died.

WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as a mayor. While the city is large enough that he would be able to keep an article that was properly sourced to media coverage about his term as mayor, it's not large enough to earn him a presumption of notability on the basis of sourcing as weak as what we have here: one primary source profile on the city's own website, and one (deadlinked) raw table of the election results themselves. And even on a Google News search, all I can find is one WP:BLP1E blip about him accusing another politician of defamation, and a bunch of glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things and people otherwise. This simply isn't enough to satisfy a notability criterion for which success or failure hinges on clearing WP:GNG on the sourceability. Bearcat (talk) 20:55, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

- Comment. In June 2016 the CBC reported, "The City of Brossard has faced intense media scrutiny lately", citing some controversies in Leduc's administration. [22] At present he seems to be in the middle of continuing controversy about the city's plastic bag ban, with Leduc in the crosshairs of attacks by the Retail Council of Canada and the plastic bag industry ("the Mayor of Brossard, Mr. Paul Leduc, persisted in his obstinacy and refusal to have any discussion with stakeholders and adopted a bylaw prohibiting the distribution of plastic shopping bags."[23]; "The Mayor of Brossard Knows Best? Paul Leduc Ignores Facts, Pushes His Political Agenda"[24]), but in the independent news coverage about this issue I didn't find much that focuses on Leduc. As things stand, the case for notability strikes me as marginal, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else can turn up more, especially if they can make a more effective search for French-language sources than I was able to do. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:07, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

It is not enough to just assert that improvement could eventually become possible maybe who knows anything could happen someday yadda yadda — you've got to show that improvability is already a foregone conclusion today, because a significant number of viable sources already exists today.

Any player with this kind of a career for FC Barcelona or Uruguay would generate a large number of substantial records in reliable sources.

- Delete. Being a non-winning candidate for political office is not in and of itself grounds for a Wikipedia article — if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that he was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason besides his candidacy, then he has to win the election to get a Wikipedia article because election per se — and campaign coverage itself does not get him over WP:GNG in lieu of failing WP:NPOL, because every candidate in any election could always show some degree of campaign coverage and thus it falls under WP:ROUTINE. But this makes and sources no credible claim that Drobinski had any preexisting notability that would have gotten him an article independent of his candidacy. So no prejudice against recreation in the future if he wins a future election and becomes an actual officeholder as a result, but nothing here entitles him to an article today.

- Comment I can't decide how to vote at this time. When I look at the criteria at WP:NSEASONS I can argue both sides. The fact that the team finished second and fifth in the NCAA championships argues for inclusion as "post-season appearances" as does the number of NCAA wrestling championships (23 for Iowa) won ("For programs considered elite in a sport ...many or all seasons might be notable regardless of the outcome". On the other hand, the arguments for deletion include "Team season articles should consist mainly of well-sourced prose, not just statistics and lists of players" and this article has little prose and the sources are lists of results (routine sports reporting). In addition, college wrestling is not on the same level in terms of coverage or general interest as sports such as football or basketball. Papaursa (talk) 19:57, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Assuming their website is truthful, "The museum has a rich collection of artifacts from Zheng Chenggong’s time, such as weapons, armor, and books including a map of Taiwan that was made starting in 1703 and completed in 1722" in addition to including the temple and also a historical house. It there was a similar-size museum in Virginia we would probably keep it. Granted, its not well ref'd and according to the nominator can't be.

- DGG I have done both general and news specific google searches. Pretty much all the news articles seem to me to be local news, failing WP:AUD. The sources which may be regional apear to be about employment issues and therefore I consider to fail WP:ORGDEPTH. Overall I don't really see any opportunity for the growth of this stub through the use of independent sources. Happy to be proven wrong if someone can actually expand it appropriately PriceDL (talk) 21:46, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep If there is sufficient documentation even in local news that it exists, consensus remains that all such high schools are to be considered notable. It's a purely empirical decision to avoid thousands of discussions that will at best lead to the inconsistent removal of a few percent of the articles, depending on how many people show up to defend them. That's what it was like before we agreed to consider them as notable. DGG ( talk ) 00:52, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Do you have a link to this guidance? WP:NSCHOOL states they should meet WP:ORG or WP:GNG, which I don't believe they do. Additionally, WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES states that current concensus is that the historical deletion rate of nominated high schools is not an argument to keep future high schools.

- Comment. This is currently a one-sentence unsourced article, and (especially in view of the recent RfC) I can acknowledge the argument that a ministub like this isn't ready for the mainspace. On the other hand, this is a highly rated charter high school—for example, one of only two schools in Louisiana to show up in Newsweek's "Beating the Odds" ratings in 2015 [31][32] and in its "best IB schools ratings in 2017 [33].

A minor Star Trek character, this page is mostly an unreferenced collection of trivial and speculation. Since ST literature is extensive, there are few sources mentioning her in passing, but I don't think they suffice for stand-alone notability; at best I'd recommend a merge to The Cage (Star Trek: The Original Series), if deletion is not the preferred outcome.

- Keep or Redirect to The Cage. I personally think the character, having appeared in the pilot episode of the successful Star Trek franchise, would have notability attached even if the character had not subsequently appeared in other media forms.
There are numerous works that break down 'The Cage' and other bits of Star Trek from anthropological standpoints, pop culture standpoints, psychology. Trekkies like to wax poetic about the subject, and a number of Trekkies are notable enough to get their rantings published. As 'Number One' is one of those Star Trek mysteries, I'm certain I can dig up something that mentions the character in more than just passing. Bahb the Illuminated (talk) 19:21, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep GNG met, commentary notes in article that character had to be removed from the show due to then-current sexism. Sufficient commentary on the real world impact of a fictional character is the best of all reasons to keep a fictional character. Jclemens (talk) 01:20, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

- The sexism discussion is promising, but this makes here ONEEVENT/ONEDIMENSION type of character. I still don't see why this cannot be merged into the episode discussion. But if you could try to rewrite it, removing the fan cruft like the Star Trek: New Frontier new section, and adding content from sources you found (sadly, most of them I cannot access; only the discussion in the first source seems in-depth, through I AGF this may also happen in some that I couldn't access), we could save this article? PS. I was thinking more about this, and I am really close to withdrawing this, but I am really not sure if there is that much we can write about her; I have tried accessing the sources through my university account. The first two book publications overlap but do provide a 1-2 page discussion on how her character was rejected due to sexism. "Star Trek: A Hidden History" doesn't seem to mention her (but I cannot even get a preview, just search query result). The coverage in [34] seems to be limited to 2 sentences on page 7, which summarize what is discussed in several paragraphs [35] coverage is also about as short. [36] seems to again overlap with the first two sources. [37] also discusses the same facts that other articles have established. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:54, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Seems to fail WP:GNG. While it passes WP:NSPORT/WP:NCYC, note that NSPORT clearly states that the subject has to meet GNG, meeting NSPORT is just indicative they are more likely to do so, so we should search for sources (WP:BEFORE): "Q: If a sports figure meets the criteria specified in a sports-specific notability guideline, does this mean he/she does not have to meet the general notability guideline? A: No, the subject must still eventually meet the general notability guideline." Well, I don't see anything except few stats - this individual has nothing going on for him. Middling performance at one relatively high level event (but not Olympics), so he doesn't even qualify for saying that he represented his nation at the top event (because top is Olympics). And for anyone interested in splitting hair about whether top can include more than one competition, it doesn't matter: unless it can be shown he meets GNG, he is simply not notable. NCYC cannot overrrule GNG/BIO, so please abstain from keep votes based solely on rationale "meets NCYC" - it is simply invalid.

- @XyZAn: Good find, but I will note that this is a regional, not national, newspaper (Dziennik Bałtycki), and GNG prefers coverage that is not so limited; further, per WP:INTERVIEW, this is just a list of questions with his answers, there is no journalistic commentary nor any indication that the material was selected in some way. This is pretty much his self-published life story that regional newspaper picked up. Good find, yes, but IMHO still on the wrong side of WP:BIO requirements. Now, I usually deal with artists and businesspeople at AfD, not sportspeople, but building a biography on two low-profile interviews would not save those articles, and I do not think sportspeople should get any preferential treatment. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:47, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

- @XyZAn: Good find, but I will note that this is a regional, not national, newspaper (Dziennik Bałtycki), and GNG prefers coverage that is not so limited; further, per WP:INTERVIEW, this is just a list of questions with his answers, there is no journalistic commentary nor any indication that the material was selected in some way. This is pretty much his self-published life story that regional newspaper picked up. Good find, yes, but IMHO still on the wrong side of WP:BIO requirements.

- Keep I was able to locate coverage that I believe meets the GNG (not linking it as I see someone already has) but I feel it's important to point out that WP:NCYC does not supersede WP:GNG and anyone who thinks it does is just wrong. Exemplo347 (talk) 08:40, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete subject to more sourcing. I dont feel GNG is met by a couple of regional interviews. Its routine coverage. (Before accusations of bias, I rescued Tre Whyte from the SvG purge, and that has *less* sourcing currently, but has the bonus of the subject being the British National Champion.) Only in death does duty end (talk) 09:32, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Only in death: I might be missing your point, so apologies if I do/have but your argument seems to defeat itself... You comment that Tre Whyte is notable through the fact that he was British National champion in BMX, where as Brylowski has been national champion in both the Team Pursuit and Madison... So are you saying that Whyte is more notable because he was a British NC (versus Polish) or because it was in BMX (versus Track cycling) and it has less sourcing. So based on your logic, Brylowski has more NC's and more/better sourcing? XyZAn (talk) 14:17, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

- @Exemplo347: This is exactly a copy-paste/repost of [38]. Which, btw, I haven't noticed before but is signed on that page as 'Informacja prasowa', which is Polish for press release. Press releases are not accepted as reliable, independent sources for other articles and I again don't think we should make exceptions for sportspeople. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:23, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

- Delete The sources here do not establish notability. I looked into the article on his wife, which has existed for over 10 years and is still considered to have inadequate sources for a biography of a living person, and nominated it for deletion. There is more information I found on Platt, but not much to establish notability. This [39] name checks him, but in the one paragraph where he and his wife are mentioned, only says anything really about his wife, and I don't think that is even indepth enough to show he is notable, it is even less for him. I found a Dan's Papers article on their house, but Dan's Papers is hardly a reliable source, it has perpetuated hoaxes at times. I doubt this is a hoax, but it is hard to accept papers that through a combination of shoddy editing and deliberate misleading perpetuate hoaxes as reliable. Then there were a few articles mentioning him 2 years ago in connection with an alleged crime on the roof of his penthouse by a friend of his then 19-year-old son.

Stumbled upon this article when improving an article I had been editing. In some places, it says she is an award winning illustrator, although the name of the award isn't there.

- Comment, the book God Loves Hair definitely meets WP:NBOOK and WP:GNG, oh look "someone" has created an article on it
Coolabahapple (talk) 19:11, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment, a fair numbers of the reviews of God Loves Hair emphasise the integral role of the illustrations to the stories and the book so it can be used as an indication of Neufeld's notability; that said, a fair number of editors are uncomfortable with the notion that someone is notable for one work/book (although as i like to bring up, there are always exceptions ie. (until recently) Harper Lee:)), so something else is probably needed. Coolabahapple (talk) 19:28, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Coolabahapple, It is not just one book, she has also illustrated several books in the James Patterson Treasure Hunters series. That has been added to the article with a citation. Actually the article looks way different than when it was nominated. Antonioatrylia (talk) 19:53, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- hi Antonioatrylia, re Treasure Hunters, are they illustrated books?, it appears that Neufeld is the cover artist, do reviews of these books discuss the illustrations? ie. like God Loves Hair? has Neufeld received any awards for her illustrations/art? or exhibited them? looking at WP:NPEOPLE having created works is not enough.

- Comment, have looked into the Treasure Hunter series of books, yes they are illustrated books and Neufeld's illustrations are an integral part of them, some reviews: The New York Times - "These black-and-white illustrations are delightful — reminiscent of the elaborate doodles churned out in math class by the most awesome artist in seventh grade. Enthusiastic crosshatching, scribbly storm clouds and jagged lightning bolts burst with energy, and I enjoyed the shirtless stylings of girl-crazy, super-buff Tommy, a 17-year-old who “spends a lot of time on personal grooming.”"(Daring Deeds), Common Sense Media - "Cartoon-like black-and white illustrations by Juliana Neufeld add to the fun and make for smooth sailing, even for reluctant readers."(Treasure Hunters), Publishers Weekly - "adventures that Neufeld masterfully captures with humor and energy in b&w illustrations that have something of a Robert Neubecker vibe."(Treasure Hunters), so this looks like it may be a keeper. Coolabahapple (talk) 04:56, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Just a bit too thin. Sources do not cover the subject with any depth. Coverage of her work is not coverage of the subject. Her works (book illustrations) can be better covered separately with coverage of each book, until someone independent and reputable discusses the multiple illustrations collectively discussing style and differences. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:13, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
- Comment God Loves Hair isn't turning up in any viable third-party sources either, and reviews alone do not notability make. The article creator is pulling the old "there's a lot of info out there on the web" schtick without actually including it in the article, other than links to meaningless book nominations that, again, do not make the book any more worthy of an article. sixtynine • speak up • 00:54, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- Rubbish, have a look at no. 1 of WP:NBOOK which specifically states that reviews (as long as independent and non-trivial) can be used for notability, the God Loves Hair article presently refers to 8 reviews that meet this requirement. Coolabahapple (talk) 07:45, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as WP:TOOSOON. I often say TOOSOON as a way of making nice with minor W:CREATIVE types who look unlikely to ever pass the bar. Here, however, I mean it very precisely. This is an early career illustrator who has drawn attention from some reviewers for an illustrated book for children. there is every reasons to hope that she will go to illustrate more children's picture books that draw attention, or become a noted artist for some other body of work, or win a prize for her work. when one of those things happen, we can have an article about her. For now, however, we should delete, leaving the redlink at God Loves Hair.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:50, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose (propose merge) Regardless of how they fail the WP:BLP1E, none of these articles should be deleted; they should be merged into the 7 July 2005 London bombings. Deletion is a finality and whilst I don't object to the fact that they fail the guideline(s), a merge is far more palatable than a flat-out delete. Not all information needs to be merged, just some of the background. The joy of all things (talk) 11:29, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose WP:BLP1E applies to living people, so is not applicable. The correct policy is WP:BIO1E, which they all seem to meet. I suspect that this would be a contentious deletion.--DavidCane (talk) 21:05, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- Still Oppose deletion following change of rationale. WP:BIO1E states "if the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate". This seems to fit in these cases. Parallels would be the 19 9/11 hijackers who each have an individual article or the three IRA activists killed in Gibraltar during Operation Flavius.--DavidCane (talk) 09:56, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

- Keep Per WP:BIO1E which states "if the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate". I'm often in favour of deleting articles about low level terrorists and criminals or minor incidents/failed plots. But the 2005 London bombings was a terrorist attack of virtually an unparalleled nature and is of significant historical importance. Therefore it easily meets the criteria at WP:BIO1E. AusLondonder (talk) 23:38, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
Redirectand selectively merge to 7 July 2005 London bombings as is usual with terrorists, excepting those who have committed multiple attacks. This young mass-murderer did not attain posthumous celebrity as some terrorists and other murderers have done, nor were there longform articles analyzing his path to terrorism. Articles about his background did run in several papers in the days after the attack, and these can be added to a section on him in the article on the bombing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:57, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

- @Dlohcierekim: My apologies for the confusion - I was rather referring to the content available in the article than the subject. That is something I wasn't able to find anywhere. For instance, if I search "Northern Pacific Ocean" and "Oliria" on Google (with quotes), I'm unable to find even a single reference - tried a few other references too with different combination of words but nothing comes-up as a reliable source to credibly justify the existence of the content provided over the article.
If I may, would recommend (request) that if you have found any such sources that actually prove content's authenticity, please do help with either sharing them here or better yet, citing them on the article directly and you may refer to my AFD track from before too that I'm a huge advocate in having to 'keep' articles than deleting them - so long as they abide by the guidelines :) Thanks. TopCipher (talk) 13:20, 26 April 2017 (UTC)- Establishing as not hoax is a long way from establishing notability. I simply read article talk and searched for Oliria and book title. Still NN work of NN author. Dlohcierekim 13:38, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- My assumption is that the original editor excerpted information from the book(s) that mention the subject. Presumably we can't search online because of copyright protection on the book; even if the book were cited, we'd still be left with only primary sources.
- Also, I was contemplating speedy for the article under G3 or A11. I did a Google search and turned up the book mentions. Even though I can't prove the subject is from the book, I also can't prove it's an outright hoax. I was going to give the OE a little more time to respond before starting down the AfD path; Robert McClenon was just quicker on the trigger than I. —C.Fred (talk) 15:14, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

- Merge to Yahad-In Unum There is some amount of coverage in spanish (for example 1, 2) and this from the Jewish Press. However a lot of it is run of the mill/focuses more on Yaha-In Unum and/or its creator. I think there is some notability in being the first Holocaust Museum in Central America, but not quite enough yet to warrant a full article. Ravendrop 02:13, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Enough sources exist to demonstrate significant coverage of this museum. I have found a full length article from Prensa Libre, the national newspaper of Guatemala, an article from Artnet, an article from Hispanos Press, and an article from Hadassah Magazine. Taken together, the information that can be gathered from these articles is much more than just passing mentions, and the museum has received enough attention in its own right to have an article separate from Yahad-In Unum.

Essentially unsourced since creation. Claimed filmmaker whose film has been "upcoming" since 2015 with no release. No evidence of notability in sources or searches.

- Delete: I flagged this as an autobiography of dubious notability over 2 years ago and the problem remains. (I found mention of a 2014 film by a director of this name, but it is mere passing coverage and may not be the same person anyway, as it would challenge the assertion that "Dream Lock" is the subject's debut film.)

Unsourced article tagged for notability since 2015, for "upcoming" movie that, per bollywoodmdb.com, has yet to be released. No search results and no verifiable evidence of notability.

Speedy deletion per WP:G4 was declined on the grounds that it's been eight years since the last AfD, which fair enough. The underlying notability concerns remain the same though.

- Speedy delete and salt. This has been deleted six times now and still there is nothing hinting this is anything other than a hoax. Last time it was deleted under G11, but it might as well qualify for G3. Why G4 was declined forcing this through AFD again is beyond me as it is very obvious it's merely delaying the obvious action.Tvx1 02:10, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete per WP:CSD#G4 as virtually identical to iteration deleted as result of prior AFD. The single source offers no significant (barely detectable) coverage. At any rate delete per not notable, whether we establish hoax or not. Dlohcierekim 03:26, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

- Wait a minute before to say "Majuro delenda est"I'm the author of the last incarnation of this article. Sorry, but I didn't know anything about this discussion or that this article was deleted six time. For the firts I want to say that I didn't write this article for to produce an hoax or a fakenews. I traslated this article from a foreign wikipedia article and I made this operation quoting the source of the original article, while I was looking for other sources on the net, but you started the speedy delete before I could finish my research. So I don't know if you have already found it but, for example, there is an article from an encyclopedia: The Complete Guide National Symbols and Emblems by James Minahan that says only that exists a football team in Marshall Islands. I wouldn't have created this article if I was not sure about existence of this team. Maybe with a in-depth research it's possible to find something else.FootKalos1597 (talk) 07:10, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- @FootKalos1597: Thanks, but that's really not in-depth coverage sufficient to over-turn the prior AfD. Might I suggest finding coverage, citing/drafting the article at home, and when it looks acceptable submitting at Wikipedia:Articles_for_Creation. Dlohcierekim 13:15, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
