BBJ Breaks The 4th Wall

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

Unsourced film with no indication of notability. (redacted per WP:CHILDPRO Nate • (chatter) 01:50, 29 November 2018 (UTC)), the director, producer, and main star of this film has been deleted per CSD A7. I suspect this may be a hoax or that User:Kingofthemonsters1985, the page creator, is also behind this film due to the fact that User:Kingofthemonsters1985 is the copyright holder of the film poster. This is most likely an amateur work, as evidenced by the misspelling of "too intense" on the poster. The author's attempt to list the film on List of RKO Pictures films was reverted as a "fake film". A Google search for this film brings up nothing. CoolSkittle (talk) 23:58, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The search obviously was not well done. See the links given below in other conments.--Urjanhai (talk) 07:10, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. First thing I find when searching is Helsingin Sanomat, the dominating newspaper in Finland, with a video story about her. (She also gets her concerts and albums reviewed in national media.) Then an article in YLE, which is the national Finnish broadcasting company. Here's an interview in YLE, too. Whether these sources are in Finnish or in English is of course irrelevant, as the only thing we say about non-English sources is basically that all other things alike, the English ones are preferable, but any language is fine. /Julle (talk) 03:11, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of Indian winners in International beauty pageants

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

There is no indication that the topic as such (as opposed to individual winners) is notable and meets WP:LISTN based on coverage in reliable sources. Sandstein 12:08, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The same probably applies to most entries in Category:Nations at beauty pageants, so this is kind of a test nomination. In all of these cases, I don't see this as much more than attempts at nationalist posturing. There are beautiful people all over the world, so there's no particular link between nationality and beauty pageant victories. In addition, the information is presumably already present in the results pages of the various notable pageants themselves. Sandstein 12:13, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was expecting this to be more or less complementary to Category:Indian beauty pageant winners, but it seems both narrower (only including "international" beauty pageants and excluding intranational ones), and broader (including individual winners who don't merit articles). I think if there's a valid core it's one that looks more like the category, as a standard list of notable people of a particular nationality by accomplishment/occupation, and the list can in turn be organized under headers for the pageants. postdlf (talk) 19:41, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is list of non-notable pageants and winners except for the Big Four international beauty pageants which has a similar page, India at Big Four international beauty pageants.--Richie Campbell (talk) 03:53, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article fails WP:GNG and WP:LISTN because it is primarily a list of non-notable pageants and winners except for the Big Four international beauty pageants, and the topic is not discussed as such a grouping at all in WP:RS. I also agree with the nominators statement about articles such as this being petty attempts at nationalist posturing and there are indeed beautiful people all over the world. I would also support nominating for deletion other similar pageant lists as well. Newshunter12 (talk) 12:10, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LGD Gaming (organization)

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

A while back, I lead a cleanup effort on the original LGD Gaming page, which eventually lead to me culling all content outside of their Dota 2 division as their sourcing was either nonexistent or just unreliable at best. Due to that, I just ended up moving the page and scope to PSG.LGD, which was their Dota 2 division that formed a branding sponsorship with the PSG football team earlier this year, as they actually have valid media coverage. I'm now nominating this attempt at recreating a main LGD Gaming page due to the bad sources that fail WP:N, such as Liquidpedia and Chinese social media links. I've already explained this situation multiple times to the page creator LGDGamingFan, who just doesn't seem to understand why this was done in the first place. This has been an issue for months, with another editor being banned for sockpuppetry, threats, and claimed WP:COI to the organization. For more information, see the PSG.LGD talk page. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 22:03, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a unnecessary split that cant meet the notability requirements independently. I’d be open to a merge, but I think the whole reason the article creator made this was because of the subjects’ connections, so I doubt that would do much to help with their dispute. Sergecross73 msg me 01:51, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Like I said in the nomination post, I changed the scope of the article once I found that the company's coverage in reliable sources, outside of its Dota team, was severely lacking. Therefore, I don't even agree that a merger would be ideal with the current sources, which is the entire reason I changed the scope in the first place. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 07:59, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't understand what you are trying to accomplish here. Are you saying that LGD Gaming isn't real and it is a fictional organization that does independently field teams away from PSG? LGD Gaming is an esports organization independent of PSG. Please help me understand why you are trying to get this page deleted. Is it your contention that LGD does not: Field esport team independently of PSG? Is LGD Gaming a fictional organization that does not exist? Help me understand so I can get the right information and source it for you. Apparently, sourcing their own web site isn't enough? LGDGamingFan (talk) 16:19, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What about this source from Blizzard's Contenders League Page itself? Is this not good enough?LGDGamingFan (talk) 16:23, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Or how about official stats as they appear on ESPN? Is that also not good enough or real? I am trying not to be snarky, but I have zero understanding of why yo think there is not good sourcing.LGDGamingFan (talk) 16:30, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Again, you are simply confusing WP:V with WP:N. Outside of their Dota 2 division, LGD Gaming lacks coverage by third-party reliable media. Their own website, social media links, and Liquidpedia all fail WP:N and thus should not be the only cited sources in the article. And while the Overwatch Contenders link also fails WP:N, the ESPN link you listed, which is one of the reliable publications I've been asking for that passes both WP:V AND WP:N, is just publishing stats for a single season and gives no other context importance to the company, meaning this is not that helpful and can't save the article on its own. I'm not making the claim that the organization doesn't exist, just rather it fails notability guidelines as a Wikipedia article. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 18:55, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So does this Esports Observer article where it says that in regards to the 3.94 million square foot esports arena just built and will accommodate LGd Gaming's League of Legends team, pass notability. My problem is the information is out there, but it seems you or whoever didn't really look that hard to find it. Almost as if some didnt want this article to happen?

"LGD Gaming and Allied Esports have opened up a joint office and esports venue in the town. This will become LGD’s home venue for the League of Legends Pro League (LPL)." "In addition, part of LGD’s management team will move into the town." LGDGamingFan (talk) 00:14, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does the Daily Mail article on LGD Gaming's PUBG roster move count? Who is the authority on which publications count in your eyes?

Or what about DOTEsports who is reporting on the first season of China's Overwatch League which LGD Gaming is playing and sanctioned by Blizzard? LGDGamingFan (talk) 00:24, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, these are not considered reliable sources. If you don’t understand identifying reliable sources on your own, WP:VG/S is a good guide for sources related to the video game world. Pretty certain Daily Mail has a much wider, general consensus for not being usable on Wikipedia. Sergecross73 msg me 15:22, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does Fox Sports Count in relationship to to the facility LGD Gaming will be using for it's offices and League of Legends team? It seems like there isnt a single esports site on this list of sites I am looking at. In fact, ESPN has quoted and used Dot Esports, Esports Observer, and VPEsports in their articles.LGDGamingFan (talk) 17:29, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I assume Fox Sports Asia is probably usable in a general sense, but that source is short and primarily about an esport venue, not the subject itself. It’s more of what we call a “passing mention”, which is usable in writing an article, but less so for proving notability. Sergecross73 msg me 17:56, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, most of the reliable publications that do mention the non-Dota 2 sides of LGD are supplementary and not the ones you generally build articles around. Meaning, if we already had a well-sourced LGD Gaming page, these would be included. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 22:00, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Josiah Warren#Cincinnati Time Store, a sourced section that covers the topic in sufficient detail. By comparison, the standalone article in question has been unfootnoted for a decade and no reliable, secondary sources cover the concept as distinct from Warren, its founder. Bold redirection is a preferred alternative to deletion, but the nom doesn't even advocate for deletion, so this should be (once again) speedily closed. There are no reasons given for keeping this article in its current condition, especially when there is an extant, sourced section to cover this concept in summary style. czar 21:55, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is a big difference between unreferenced and needing inline citations. The book Men Against the State is reliable, secondary, verifies the article and is independent of Warren, so Czar's claims are inaccurate at best. As an administrator, Czar should really know the difference between boldly redirecting and boldly redirecting again after being challenged. SpinningSpark 23:11, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

By this I meant that the Cincinnati Time Store is always covered in context of Warren's life, not as an independently notable concept, hence why I said it should be covered within Warren's article. As for your other claims, is the patronizing tone really necessary? It's been a year between edits. If you'd like to dig out the footnotes from that source, go for it, but I could only source a fraction of the text when I tried. czar 00:59, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak merge into Josiah Warren#Cincinnati Time Store. The source provided does make the subject notable enough, but it seems like the topic could be covered better as a section in an overall article. A single source makes a separate article just for that topic difficult to justify. That being said, the section as it is now contains further sources and could theoretically be used to expand the article if we opt to go that route. I don't support deletion at all, this should really just be a debate over whether to merge or not since it clearly passes WP:GNG. --Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 23:22, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We already discussed how the the nominator was wrong to twice bring this article to AfD with no policy-based rationale for either keeping or deleting (and note that I said as much above). But while we're here, I don't see how it's reasonable to expect discussion hidden away on an unfrequented talk page to be "more considered" than that which we already have above. Opening yet another discussion is just needless bureaucracy. What no one has answered in these reams of text: Where is the sourcing that affirms that this article topic is independently notable from Josiah Warren? If it lacks significant coverage in sources, it should be merged to that parent article and covered in summary style proportion. That can be decided here without dragging this on any longer. czar 03:06, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, reconsidered ...

Redirect to Josiah Warren#Cincinnati Time Store. No sources to justify a separate article. The target already has coverage, allow further merging of material subject to consensus, with discussion at Talk:Josiah_Warren#Cincinnati_Time_Store.

Speedy Keep per WP:SKCRIT #1 & #2 as the nomination does not give a reason to delete. The topic is quite interesting and notable so if someone keeps blanking the page, contrary to WP:BLANK, they should be blocked for WP:DISRUPTION. Andrew D. (talk) 21:43, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. In case my earlier keep is ignored for not giving a valid rationale, let me give one now. I find the sources adequate, they discuss the subject in depth. The argument that they don't count because they all mention Warren has no basis in policy. Of course they all name Warren. He was the founder of the store. Any source that didn't mention that fact in all likelihood would be deficient for our purposes. SpinningSpark 22:41, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
keep/weak no merge The topic is clearly notable (plenty of sources), the question is one of organization. That doesn't belong at AfD. That said, sources like this [3] are enough to get me to believe that we should have an article on this topic--when Bloomberg is writing an article assuming you know what a topic is, that topic is likely notable enough for an article. It's in the title for goodness sake. But yeah, I don't think merge/no merge matters all that much as long as we have the material here. Hobit (talk) 13:16, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per above, notable.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:28, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closer: Note the depth by the article actually covers the store itself, apart from its creator. Note that none of the comments above mention how the refbombed sources like [4], only allude to the Cincinnati Time Store in passing mention or as an invention of Josiah Warren. The sources only discuss the Time Store in context of Warren. These sources, which only mention the Time Store project in passing, do not make the case that the topic is independently notable from its creator. They add nothing above what could be adequately covered in Warren's article without needing a summary style split. czar 02:14, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Review of recently added sources:

These sources are used to give the appearance of significant coverage, which clearly doesn't pass scrutiny after the most cursory of readings.

And if you can look past all of the hand-wringing about process to read the actual source material, everything mentioned here fits easily within the scope of Josiah Warren and time-based currency without warranting a summary style split. The literature never writes about the individual/distinct importance of CTS but about Warren (the individual) and his role in the development of the time store/bank concept. czar 17:15, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And strong evidence of both on the article's talk page. czar 04:04, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence of something. -- GreenC 08:06, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I really can't go along with your idea that the context in which the sources discuss the topic rules them out for establishing notability. There is no basis for that in either policy or our editorial practice. All that matters is that there is sufficient information to fill a page, and it is verifiable to reliable sources. If Warren was only notable for the time store, then there would be a case for a single merged article, but that is not the case. And even then, the merge target would be this article, not Warren's, per WP:1E. SpinningSpark 10:30, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

re: "no basis", that the context of a topic's coverage determines the manner by which we treat the topic is a basic tenet of NPOV (policy). The issue isn't that the sources naturally introduce Warren alongside CTS but that the sources being used as evidence of CTS's independent notability are primarily about Warren: his ideas, his tribulations, and how the CTS is a brief expression of his ideas (and would be one of several). Proportional coverage, mirroring how CTS is covered in reliable sources, would warrant covering the CTS as a summary style section within the parent. You only need to read the current CTS article copy to see how it's a stretch to write a dedicated article based on this sourcing—it's a series of passing mentions strung together to give the appearance of content ("fill a page"), and the only meaty sources that actually give detail on the CTS are chapters/books about Warren. All signs point to CTS warranting proportionate coverage within Warren's article. I'd have no argument with splitting that section out summary style if it became disproportionately large for Warren's article, but having actually read through the content, I really don't see how that would be the case any time soon. Not sure why 1E would have any relevancy: Warren is far, far more notable than the CTS, hence why so much is written about his life and why the CTS is only covered in context of it. czar 16:33, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The policy you cite (WP:PROPORTION) has nothing whatsoever to do with the case you are trying to make. It does not support it at all. PROPORTION would govern how much material on CTS can go into the Warren article. It has nothing to say on how much material on CTS can go into the CTS article. SpinningSpark 16:51, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's a core principle. WP:PROPORTION is directly tied to Wikipedia:Summary style. It's a question of how to determine when a CTS article is needed as independently notable from its parent article/coverage, not on "how much material on CTS can go into the CTS article". czar 17:21, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Asserting that something is supported by policy does not make it so. I note that even after being challenged, you are still not citing the text of policy that supports your claim. WP:PROPORTION does not link to or even mention summary style. Even if it did, WP:SUMMARY does not support your rationale either. SpinningSpark 21:06, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what more you want. There is no "policy"-level page that governs when to merge—it's supposed to be common sense. This comes directly from the NPOV policy page:"Should strive" is aspirational, not a set of specific criteria. Look at the text of CTS right now and the majority (that isn't sourced to an unreliable source) is a hodge podge of minor assertions, owing to their origin: one-sentence asides (passing mentions) in sources. That's "undue weight to minor aspects of its subject". So in the spirit of due weight, reduce the those minor asides to those that provide more light than heat. Apart from the asides, you're left with Wunderlich and Martin, and if you're treating the subject (CTS) proportional to its treatment in the corpus of that reliable, published material (i.e., a book and chapter, respectively, about Josiah Warren), then we don't cover CTS in any more depth than that would belong in the CTS section of Warren's article. Is that too theoretical—does it need to be demonstrated? I look at the current CTS article to see what I could merge back to improve the Warren article and apart from the summary sourced in the lede, what is there? If the Cincinnati Time Store section of the Warren article was properly expanded to FA-prose, there would be nothing that the CTS article could contain that would warrant the split/fork. czar 22:51, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are 17 refs in the article. You listed 8 above you had trouble with, of which most of them are actually fine - reliable sources containing facts used to write the article with. You've set the bar for the refs way too high beyond typical norms.

You are doing word counts ("short paragraph", passing mention"), instead of looking at what fact was cited and how it was used to improve the article. Significant coverage can be 1 word or 1 sentence if it's significant. Your opinion it's not significant is just that, your opinion. If it is being used to write the article with, it probably has some significance.
Any source including Time Stores will include Warren the founder, logically and evidently. Sources don't need to be entirely about the topic.
Paywalls are not an "obfuscation", it confuses the medium with the source, sources only need be verifiable.
Calling a source "idle speculation" is your opinion. Wikipedia allows for multiple POVs even if you disagree with them.
Shiller is a Noble laureate, when he mentions Time Stores in a major publication it shows continued long-term cultural relevance of this topic the very essence of notability. Your attempts to water this down are unconvincing and shows how high you have set the bar.
You ignore other sources in the article that clearly show notability. The above list is a fun-house mirror representation of the sources.

-- GreenC 18:20, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, which sources did I not address above? I grouped citations together (with "+") to avoid monotony. If you'd like me to address the sources you added after my comment, I can do so, but I think it's fairly straightforward that those too are passing mentions. If we're at the point of stringing passing mentions together to write an article, then we have to ask whether the topic itself is covered in depth. We're not talking about "significant coverage" because we already established that the topic is covered within chapters/books about Warren and no one has advocated for deletion.
The "obfuscation" wasn't the paywall, but making a vague wave to a citation behind a paywall to look like it contains more content about the subject than it actually does.
How is this not speculatory? This is one of two sentences about the CTS as a brief aside in the citation. This is indicative of the types of sources dumped into this article.
Shiller made reference to the CTS as a quip/aside and a promotional press whipped it into a headline. Those articles make no connection between CTS's passing mention and Shiller's ultimate point: that an economist famed for predicting previous, actual bubbles is predicting Bitcoin to be a bubble (neither of which have to do with CTS) and en route to this point, that Bitcoin would be a failed experiment just like time banks/stores—saying nothing to the extended import of the CTS itself apart from being one of those time banks/stores. If CTS was of such importance to the article's message, why is it only alluded in the most cursory of fashions? Because it is incidental to the point of the headline. The way in which the Shiller ref is being used in the article is nonsensical, hence why I brought it to the talk page.

For what it's worth, I agree with User:GreenC and disagree with the Tsar, er, I mean User:Czar. The article is well-sourced.

The "fact" of the article's expansion had already been made (and addressed), if you heed your own advice.

(edit conflict) And the reference to "WP:Before" is a totally unthinking comment: We've established many times over that the nominator was out of process. If it was intended as careless invective against me, I'll raise that I own print copies of the major sources "discovered" over the course of this discussion (and others that haven't yet been) as part of a project on Josiah Warren that I have been planning since 2016. My position (for redirection/merger) should come across as reasonable to anyone who has read through this material and isn't here on an ideological basis, but the shameful level of invective directed towards my intentions throughout this discussion has completely soured me to that project. If it matters so much to you, I hope you can at least appreciate your spoils. czar 19:08, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That you want to add to Josiah Warren is commendable. I would hope you do not let this spoil you effort. But your passion for that subject has apparently colored your viewpoint on the import of his creation.

I have had similar experiences. I had a grand plan to create/improve all of the Michigan and Great Lakes lighthouse articles, and I got shot down on a wonkian enforcement of template policy. I cut that effort off, so I empathize with your frustration.

We are all volunteers, after all.

So now it becomes clear what Czar's real problem is. Czar sees this page as interfering with his expansion of the Warren article. So why not write the Warren article and then reassess the need for this page? (but please, not with another AfD) SpinningSpark 10:26, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Czar's real problem" No need to talk like this. This subarticle has no direct impact on the content of Josiah Warren but just kicks the inevitable merge discussion down the road when it didn't warrant this drawn out discussion in the first place.

Keep: Considering the non-sourced or under-sourced junk proposed or added to Wikipedia, and with respect to "gatekeepers", I see this as part of a sourced fringe theory and an acceptable addition to the Libertarian socialism and Individualist anarchism series. While neither of the last two fall under any ideologies I espouse, they usually gain a following, because many "just want to be left alone". Tearing down Mount Rushmore would have been considered an insane fringe theory. With a move to remove all "offending evidence" (makes one feel uncomfortable) of a certain time in US history, including Civil War monuments, the idea seems no longer so insane. There is historical value to the article. Job Harriman had "fringe theories" when founding the Utopian society Llano Cooperative Colony and Stables, Louisiana. The community lasted twenty years, survived most of The Great Depression (some sources state lasted until WWII), the founder, but finally succumbed to the Recession of 1937–38 and a 1994 film “American Utopia was even made. Should these things be excluded from history or relegated to just the principle subject? Multiple sources, that may even be considered minor mentions, can establish notability and I feel this is established for a standalone article. I also think there may be more sources out there.

Eugenic feminism

This is a remarkable coatrack of WP:SYNTH designed to take the kernel of truth, that some early feminists were also eugenicists, to suggest a whole school of pro-Eugenic feminist thought.

Comment There does seem to be some concerted external attempt at smearing the feminist movement by conflating these two terms, and overstating the sympathies for eugenics by a handful of early feminists. I'm suspicious of some of the sources (partisan sources?), and there are neutrality issues in many sections.

Keep This is well referenced with sources that indicate the term was used over 100 years ago, and that it has also been studied recently, so it does have a place in an encyclopaedia.

Comment This page was one of the worse messes of copyvio that I've seen in a while.

Even having worked on the page, I'm halfway inclined to WP:TNT. XOR'easter (talk) 17:42, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@XOR'easter:When I ran the copy-vio check it was primarily because of quoting out of Eugenics in the United States, which was itself copy pasted into an external wiki that copyviobot thought looked fishy,even though it originated form wikipedia. If you exclude that, the automatic number goes down considerably(I put in a whitelist for the bot). I'm not really clear on what protocol is for that sort of thing, but I assume that's not a problem since it's GFDL'd and there's a backlink. I found the wording of the main article to be adequate, so I left it basically verbatim. I know the prose could use some work, but I've seen worse articles on the wiki, so I figured other users with better composition would fix the balance/wording. Perhaps even you might like to take a crack at it. Ethanpet113 (talk) 17:52, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am troubled that there has not been enough analysis of what is going on.

~~Draftify~~ Delete Just because an article could in principle be written about a topic doesn't mean that the article we have is the right way to go about it. Sure, you can find the term in books, but that's only the first step. There are real questions here about people applying a term to themselves versus others applying it to them in retrospect, about the distinction between an organized movement and a set of people espousing roughly similar ideas at roughly the same time, etc. This needs further work by specialists before it could have a chance at being encyclopedic. XOR'easter (talk) 02:03, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, there was even more copyvio than I thought.Different versions of eugenic feminism arose between 1890 and 1930, but each shared in the argument that the eugenic decline of the race could be prevented only if women were granted greater political, social, sexual, and economic equality is copied almost exactly from Ziegler (2008). Giving a footnote to the paper you copied from doesn't keep it from being plagiarism. Nor does changing "found commonality" to "shared". The phrase "women's moral superiority toward social space" is lifted from this website, and its setting is only lightly changed. I would flunk a student who handed in a paper like this.

Further comment: I have been removing details unrelated to eugenic feminism but this is causing much of the article to be diminished. It seems the article is entirely written to observe early feminists who supported eugenics, rather than eugenic feminism itself. While an article with that name could exist, it doesn't appear to be the article that exists there now. The main editor of the article is clearly biased.

Comment Really, there's no point in trying to apply the usual practices for AfD of researching what sources are available, and whether the subject might meet WP:GNG. The fact that this person was thought interesting enough to record an oral history in 1971, suggests that he might very well be notable - there might indeed be "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". The "delete" voters seem to be assuming that there will not be, and just keep posting AfDs until all the supercentenarians get deleted - regardless of whether they might actually be notable or not! So dismissive - exactly how is "A Survey of the Movements and Work on Fair Elections" "autobiographical" or "memoir"? Where is the evidence about the impact of his work - or lack of impact? It seems to me that there are a lot of assumptions here, tantamount to "because he was a supercentenarian, therefore he cannot be notable" - followed by, "even if he is notable, he still doesn't merit more than an entry in a list". I will note again that this AfD is one of SIXTEEN AfDs for supercentenarians POSTED ON THE SAME DAY - it is quite impossible to do adequate research on all of them (given that there are others every other day of the week too).

Strong Keep I have added more references and some more information. I am not sure that the nominator has done a WP:BEFORE for this AfD. Lockett is regarded as a hero and a legend in Australia - the prime minister was at the ceremony at which he was awarded the Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur award, and he received a state funeral. More could certainly be added to this article - it is definitely not WP:NOPAGE. What I have added - the quotes, as well as the references - is intended to show that he was indeed notable.

Redirect to Leeroy Wilfred Kabs-Kanu, as the newspaper fails the general notability guideline, and Kabs-Kanu is the sole owner, financier, publisher and Chief Executive Officer, and appears to be the primary writer (also a person of questionable notability himself, as most coverage of the newspaper and Mr. Kabs-Kanu seems to come from Cocoriokoko itself or The Patriotic Vanguard, of which Kabs-Kanu is (or at least was) affiliated). Very scant coverage of the newspaper or its owner in reliable sources. And @Desmay: FYI, having a handful of articles cited does not make a publication notable, it merely indicates existence. Per the general notability guideline We generally need need significant independent coverage about a subject, not trivial tangential references indicating that a subject exists.

Delete. I can't see anything in either of these articles that's as transparently bullcrap as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Snipplet, the ultimate political wikihoax of all time just for the sheer length of time it flew under the radar before its painfully obvious hoaxery actually got caught out, but that's precisely why WP:NPOL requires proper verification in reliable sources before the presumption of notability for a legislator is actually locked in. If the articles aren't properly verified by legitimate sources, and don't seem to verify anywhere else either, then they aren't handed an inclusion freebie just because of what the article claims. If somebody can actually show some valid sourcing that we're missing which verifies that either of these people really existed as state legislators, then no prejudice against recreation at that time — but NPOL does not hand them an inclusion freebie just because of offices they're claimed to have held, in the absence of any sources which properly verify the truth of the claim.
I also see that nobody had nominated the photos for deletion on Commons yet, even though they're both renamed and reuploaded copies of images that we already have of other people, so I just wanted to note that I've taken care of that here for "Cotton" (really Lamar Jeffers) and here for "McHugh" (really William J.

Keep - This is per WP:NTEMP, we have had two AfD discussions so far that have proven her notability. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:07, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notability isn't the question; it's NOPAGE. E Eng 04:16, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/redirect to appropriate list. As usual in these cases, the issue isn't notability but NOPAGE. There are literally two sentences about her life in the entire article, other than when she died:Sarah DeRemer Clark was born on September 24, 1880, in Hollywood, Pennsylvania, a small coal mining village. She married Abraham Lincoln Knauss in 1901. The absurdity of the remaining strained fancruft is almost painful:

At age 116, she was recognized as being the new United States national longevity record holder, then thought to have been held by Carrie C. White (reportedly 1874–1991). In 1998, she became the world's oldest person when 117-year-old Canadian Marie-Louise Meilleur of Quebec died. When her family members told her of her newfound fame, her response was a smile and "So what?" ... Knauss lived through seven wars involving the U.S. (including both World Wars) and the administrations of 23 presidents (from Rutherford B. Hayes to Bill Clinton). At her death, she was one of seven living generations of her family. She died just thirty-three hours before the 2000 year celebrations began, which were sometimes reported as having just missed living into a third century, although the 21st century and the 3rd millennium actually began on January 1, 2001 ... died of natural causes in Allentown, Pennsylvania on December 30, 1999 at Phoebe Home (now known as Phoebe Allentown, a subsidiary of Phoebe-Devitt Homes, Inc.)

The lessons on calendars, wars, and presidents, and the bit about the parent company of the nursing home, are just delicious. A perfect NOPAGE case. E Eng 04:12, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:NOPAGE applies. I think EEng is being charitable saying there are two sentences about her. The town description "a small coal mining villiage" is not about her and knowing the name of her non-notable husband "Abraham Lincoln Knauss" does little to help us understand her life. Legacypac (talk) 04:33, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote the following in AfD2: "20-Mule-Team Keep: Oh for pity's sake. Passes the GNG with flying colors, and that's all she wrote. I understand that Xxxxx is waving around NOPAGE with all the force and furor that your average American Republican politician screams "Liberal! Liberal! Liberaaaaalll!!" -- as if the mere word is a trump card that automatically supersedes all other considerations or arguments -- but sooner or later the fact must be faced that it's not that the Keep proponents don't understand his argument, we don't agree with it. The Knauss article is, I freely concede, poorly written and longer on irrelevant blather than on encyclopedic fact, but that's a content dispute, not an appropriate issue for AfD." My feelings have not changed in the three years since, except to add that the So She Was The Oldest Living Human Being, So What? premise being pushed by some of the Delete proponents could be just as readily pushed on damn near every biographical article on Wikipedia. We do not keep or reject articles based on "So What?" We do so using well-established guidelines on notability. The subject meets the fundamental one. Ravenswing 07:45, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it's apparent that you really don't understand the NOPAGE argument, since you're still talking about notability, and NOPAGE has nothing to do with notability. E Eng 08:02, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Amusingly enough, I get to repeat another quote from AfD2, this one to you: "@EEng, let's see if I can phrase this in terms unlikely to mistake. Yes, I have read NOPAGE. Yes, I have read your arguments. I do not agree with you. What about that is so hard to understand? I'm sorry ... if you find the consensus against you bewildering, but it is obvious that more editors reject your curious interpretation of that section as meaning "Any article that any one editor argues can be redirected into a broader topic must be redirected into a broader topic" than otherwise. I am among them." Indeed, NOPAGE does not talk about notability (however much it's part of WP:N). What you did not understand three years ago and do not seem to understand now is that there is nothing about NOPAGE that supersedes or overrules the GNG. Ravenswing 17:22, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Those who refer to WP:NOPAGE ignore that being the second oldest human is something that is researched by many people. Wikipedia should provide the necessary facts for journalists and scholars. For scientists judging about a longevity claim, the personal dates of the person (not just birthday and age) are extremely important for judging about the reliability of a claim. Jansan (talk) 09:50, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that this article is complete is more evidence that it doesn't need a standalone page. When only a couple sentences are about her, and the rest is borderline ridiculous cruft about what happened by virtue of her not dying; this is not a competition with milestones.

She is only 2nd out of ca. 7 billion (actually it would be more if you count ongoing and additive world population since recorded history began). Her achievement is far above the norm as of the date she expired. As the BBC writes: "There are currently seven billion people alive today and the Population Reference Bureau estimates that about 107 billion people have ever lived.

Her name, life dates, and nationality are best handled on the four lists they already reside on. This WP:PERMASTUB is not needed. I would also point out that Guinness World Records never named her as the worlds oldest person and even the GRG lists her age claim as suspect 1 (that's why they italicized her entry here). The reason for her so called notability may very well be false. Newshunter12 (talk) 00:11, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reaching a certain age is an lifetime accomplishment not 1 event. It is an achievement that takes over 110 years and because it is notable, reliable sources begin covering these people. This is how we determine notability here. In fact there are more billionaires than supercentenarians because to reach such age is more difficult and more notable than earning a billion in net worth. Rarely does NOPAGE apply because most sources do not just state their age, they question their lifestyle to research how such longevity is achieved.

The following is a bit WP:CRYSTALBALL to say, but she appears to be another Kamato Hongo in the making. Quite old, but not as old as she claimed to be.

I have not found reliable sources saying that she might not have been born in 1900. Here is a Guinness World Records source published in 2017 saying she was born 4 August 1900 and a second source explaining why she was never officially named the oldest person in the world:

Out is a re-reporting of other articles / essays by Franken.
As for the rest they look to be self-publicity saying / doing outrageous things as bait for broadsheets. If this article is going to be kept then it would need a total re-write so that his notability comes from his right-wing views and the time he spent as Sarah Franken.

Weak keep. I agree with FOARP's observation in so far as I too could not find any indepth/core IRS to readily generate content for the subject. However, there are a very large number of very reliable mentions across a wide range of aspects which would allow more than a stub article to be written. Yes it means a bit of work to pull it all together, but there is I believe sifficient WP:NEXIST to support GNG and develop a sufficient article.

Delete sourcing far below what would be needed to show notability. Schaerf's book does not give enough coverage to establish notability, and even if it did, it is the only source that comes anywhere close. Everything else is blog posts, paid death notcices, or routine announcements of changes of mission leadership. Basically unless every mission president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is notable, there is no way that Poecker is. Since Mission presidents serve at most three years (some serve only 2) and there are over 400 missions, and many regular Church going members could not name the current mission president over where they live, this is a very hard to sell idea. Just since 2009 there have probably been about 1200 mission presidents. The math gets a bit trickier because the number of missions increased by over 50 in 2013, but at least 3000 maybe closer to 5000 total mission presidents in the history of the Church. 3-year-terms did not become the norm until the 1930s, and it was not until the 1970s there were even 100 missions, with 300 hit around 1990. Many mission presidents are notable for other things, and maybe one or two did such impactful work as mission presidents, such as Wilford Booth and maybe Edward Dube, that they could be notable for that alone, arguably John A. Widstoe and David O. mcKay, but especially the former was more a mission presidenr over mission presidents, and both were already members of the Quorum of the 12 when mission presidents so it is not possible to figure out if it works. LeGrand Richards just might be notable if he only had to his name being a mission president and the book A Marvelous Work and a Wonder that grew out of comments he made while a mission president, but since he was an apostle when that book moved from being the theme of talks he gave to a printed work (with Thomas S. Monson being a key editor on it), it is an untestable hypothesis.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:43, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I found two other sources, German Genealogical Digest: 1987-1989, Volumes 3-5 [15], which confirms his finding of genealogical records, and No greater love, and other true stories of courage and conviction [16], which is a 1982 LDS publication of "biography and autobiography". Probably neither is greatly reliable - I can't tell the origin of the Genealogical Digest (could well be the Genealogical Society of Utah, though that's just a guess). I also find this interesting, particularly the finding of the genealogical records (what did he do with them?), and I wondered if a small part of the info could be included in the Genealogical Society of Utah article, but it has no section on the original source records at all, or any information about work in Europe. So probably Delete, unless his roles in the LDS were sufficiently notable to warrant an article (and I have gathered that overall they do not have presumed notability).

The result was no consensus. Multiple sources have been presented, but there is no consensus on whether these are substantial enough for notability. Draftifying was also suggested, but I don't see what purpose this would serve. – Joe (talk) 11:58, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Passes WP:GNG with significant coverage from reliable sources[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. The disruptive editing can be dealt with via RfPP. AfD is not cleanup.Flooded with them hundreds 06:23, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I saw those sources (they are cited in the article), but a one line mention in a very short complex.com article is not enough to pass WP:NALBUM. Here's another trivial passing mention [25] Seraphim System ^(talk) 06:32, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Music Is the Weapon was kept at AfD even though its sourcing is much weaker than this. There are at least 10 independent reliable sources with articles dedicated to this album, more can be found on Google. Flooded with them hundreds 06:38, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another one with two paragraphs [26]. They are all basically repeating the exact same information "Eternal Atake is the followup to Luv Is Rage 2 and the artwork contains references to the Heaven's Gate cult". In order to establish notability the publications are supposed to benon-trivial - this usually means something like multiple significant in-depth independent reviews (For example, Deep Inside the Beatles’ White Album, 50 Years Later) Seraphim System ^(talk) 07:05, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This album is expected to be released soon so there's no reason to get rid of it now only to recreate it after a few weeks/months. The article content is properly sourced and there are information about many aspects of the album including the controversial album cover, snippets, live performances, potential release date and basic label info. This is a high-profile release by a chart-topping artist, it is exempted under the WP:FUTUREALBUM criterion. Flooded with them hundreds 07:25, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The policy you reference clearly saysgenerally, an album should not have an independent article until its title, track listing and release date have all been publicly confirmed by the artist or their record label. I see none of that in the sources above. Look, I get that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and I'm not especially invested in the outcome of this AfD, but I didn't nominate it because I confused AfD with cleanup, I nominated it because based on my understanding of the policy and review of the available sources I didn't see enough to justify a standalone article at this time. Seraphim System ^(talk) 09:11, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The guideline allows "a few special cases to qualify for an article if there is sufficient verifiable and properly referenced information", this album can be considered one of them as the artist is a Billboard 200 chart-topper. Other than that, publications rarely write a full review for unreleased albums like this so it's reasonable for this album to not have received any but sources like [27][28][29][30][31] are wholly dedicated to the album and aren't trivial mentions. Also, my example of Music Is the Weapon is more of a precedent than WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Please give it some time because there will be more sources when the album is released, there are 2-3 sections, an infobox and some information about controversy that aren't suitable for merging into the artist's page so this should justify a standalone article because it slightly, if not satisfactorily, passes the multiple criteria. Flooded with them hundreds 11:46, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Flooded’s sources, which are largely reliable sources, per WP:RSMUSIC, and are dedicated to the subject. Could use some cleanup, but it’s definitely one of those cases where it makes more sense to improve than scrap everything. There’s enough for a short, notable article. (Also, routine vandalism isn’t a valid reason for deletion either. Let me know if help is needed with maintenance or page protection.) Sergecross73 msg me 02:23, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sergecross73: The grounds for deletion is WP:NALBUM, not vandalism. I also should have mentioned WP:CRYSTAL which is not a notability deletion. Per WP:CRYSTAL the content about the album cover should really have been added to the artist's article until we had a confirmed release date, at the very least. This is routinely the standard applied under WP:CRYSTAL, and it applies to major big budget releases. SpecificallyAlthough Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable. Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content. We really should not have an article based entirely on speculative threats of legal action that haven't materialized and "cryptic" comments made on instagram. I'm not likely to change my mind about this, but the article can survive AfD without my support. And thank you for sharing the link to confirm the reliability of the sources, I'm sure that will come in handy at AfC. Seraphim System ^(talk) 05:28, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I’d completely agree with you if the article was written according to social media posts and speculation made by editors. But that’s nit the case at all - it’s sourced to many third party reliable sources that dedicate articles to the subject. There’s a difference. Sergecross73 msg me 11:25, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify I do not think this artist comes under the few special cases criteria as he has only released 1 album. We are not talking about an artist in the same caliber as guns and roses. The coverage is basically saying exactly the same thing as per the nom. This looks very much like a heavy handed effort by the pr people to get as much of a buzz as possible before releasing the album. It is not the role of Wikipedia to participate in the promotional machine. When the album has had some reviews then it will probably be ready to come back. Dom from Paris (talk) 19:42, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He’s not my thing, but he’s certainly comparable as far as modern music. Look at his discography. His last album went platinum and he’s got multiple multi-platinum singles, one that is even 6x platinum. I’d also like to note that it’s not particularly promotionally worded, and what is, could be easily fixed. Sergecross73 msg me 01:19, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kickback (band)

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

Completely unsourced and semi-advertorialized article about a band, which makes no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC at all. The strongest thing here, strictly speaking, is their longevity itself -- but having been active for 12 years is not a notability freebie that exempts a band from having to be reliably sourced as accomplishing anything in that time that passes a notability criterion. I don't have access to any databases of French media in the 1990s or 2000s, so I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can find better evidence of reliable source coverage than I've been able to -- but we don't keep unsourced articles just because it's possible that better sourcing might exist to salvage it with, we keep unsourced articles only if somebody shows hard evidence that better sourcing does exist to salvage it with.

Comment. The coverage I found (from a simple Google search) isn't really convincing. The band is covered to some extent in the books Anthologie du rock français de 1956 à 2017 ([35]) and (very briefly) Etat des lieux des musiques extrêmes : Les albums essentiels d'un demi-siècle de transgression hard rock, métal, punk, hardcore & co. ([36]), mentioned here in a Vice interview with Sister Iodine, an Exclaim! article calls the band "legendary and controversial" ([37]), but doesn't provide much more, and the band's No Surrender album was selected by Metal Hammer (Germany) among "11 Hardcore albums of the 2000s that you must have heard". Some coverage of the singer's later career as a restaurateur only briefly mention the band ([38], [39]). In terms of releases, 5 albums on Hostile Records and GSR could make a case for WP:NMUSIC criterion 5. That the band is significant enough for inclusion is possible, but I think we probably need more than these. --Michig (talk) 18:13, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing WP:NBAND. Honestly I don't see them scraping through with a #5 criteria because GSR seems to be a pretty small time outfit and on their web site are boasting about this band having released a record with them and their historic roster is not great Born from Pain (unsourced) Knuckledust, their greatest claim is 1 or more recordings released by Madball but it seems to have been a licensed local release from another record company [40]. The other label looks a little more promising Hostile Recordings until you look at the bluelinks on their roster which are either redirects or unsupported claims.

Keep. This article subject has been through AfD twice before. Once closely following its creation in 2008 (result was 'keep'). And once close to a year ago in 2017 (result was 'no consensus'). While I did not participate in the first AfD discussion (2008), I did participate in the latter (2017). As nothing seems to have changed since then, my recommendation remains the same. Keep. (Based on the fact that, while much of the coverage is trivial, self-published or promotional in tone, there does seem to be enough passable independent coverage to meet WP:GNG/WP:SIGCOV). Guliolopez (talk) 10:17, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An AFD from ten years ago doesn't really mean much and I don't see any changes from then to now, either. The AFD itself wasn't even strong on the keep side and policies and inclusion criteria have been more fine tuned since that time. Praxidicae (talk) 16:11, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Praxidicae. Thanks for your note. I wasn't saying that the outcome discussions should somehow stand (the 'gospel according to Wikipedia past') :) Just highlighting that the discussions had occurred (something that wasn't perhaps immediately obvious from the original nom template). And that, perhaps, a number of WP:BEFORE efforts might be covered in those previous discussions. (Like a list and link of previously identified coverage points/etc). Personally I'm not wedded to the outcome of either AfD. As noted by Smallbones, the outcome of the first AfD was almost analagous to a "merge/redirect" outcome. Except that no target was identified. If the outcome here is "keep/redirect the title / merge the content" then I'd advocate the Business and Finance article as a target. And would assist with it. (Certainly, after 10 years, if the content hasn't been expanded beyond a few sentences, then that might support an argument for merge/redirect. However, while length is a consideration in a merge discussion, it isn't typically relevant in an AfD review). Guliolopez (talk) 16:30, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment/question. Actually, Praxidicae, as I have you, can I ask you two quick and genuine questions about the nom?

In the nom you suggest that the subject fails NEVENT and NCOVERAGE. While I'm personally unsure of the the applicability of NEVENT to this particular subject, which criteria are you referring to by the the shorthand "NCOVERAGE". Is it WP:SIGCOV?
In the nom you suggest that there is "no coverage" and "barely even passing mentions" of the subject (in reliable sources). In honesty I am a little confused by this argument specifically. The subject is the primary topic of more than a few reliable (print) publications - that have at least national reach. Like the Irish Independent and Irish Times. And also the primary topic of coverage in other seemingly reliable (online) outlets. Like SiliconRepublic and IrishTechNews. A question could perhaps be asked about the triggers for this type of coverage (some of it could perhaps be characterised as "press releases as journalism", and hence perhaps a claim could be made on its "independence"). I don't think, however, that this type of coverage can be characterised as "nonexistent" or "a passing mention".

As before, personally I'm not seeing the argument for deletion. (As there does seem to be enough non-trivial coverage in reliable sources to meet WP:SIGCOV). But, other contributors might be interested to hear more detail on the argument (and the policies on which those arguments are based). Guliolopez (talk) 14:44, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - 3 short paragraphs can be said about this, but that doesn't mean it's notable. One ref is about a winner of the prize - these type of articles are usually considered promotional (for the winner) so should not be considered a reliable source. Two other refs are definitely promotional and published by the Irish Independent which is a sponsor of the prize. The article starting "The Queen of Ireland, Panti Bliss, ..." is interesting, but obviously not reliable. No other contenders for independent (small i) reliable sources.

Keep but willing to be convinced otherwise Absent evidence to the contrary, I would have thought the Irish Times and Independent articles would substantiate notability, no?

@FOARP: Independent isn't, er, independent, they're one of the event's media sponsors, says so in the third graf or so.

SportingFlyer talk 12:29, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, there's good reasons to believe that the Independent isn't Independent. The Times articles, whilst short, do seem to be coverage of the awards - I mean, it's not a glancing reference in a long piece. They are short articles, but it is clear what the article is about. Still a weak keep ATM but if there's a good reason to disregard the Times pieces as well I'd flip to delete. FOARP (talk) 12:45, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of Notability. The organisation has only 8 employees, their size are very small. Besides, it seems that the organisation may make use of Wikipedia for promotion. Joeccho (talk) 09:16, 27 November 2018 (UTC)— Joeccho (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Keep The page has 45 sources and it is easy to find more such as this BBC coverage. The number of employees is irrelevant per WP:NOTBIGENOUGH. The staff head count at Wikipedia used to be a half – just one part-timer. Andrew D. (talk) 09:34, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The Wikipedia is hosted by WikiMedia which has over 300 employees and contractors. In addition to few employees, there are only a very small number of patients and members for the organisation. I understand there may be have arbitrary number problem when we talk about their size, but an organisation notability is arbitrary by nature. Joeccho (talk) 09:55, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems to meet the general notability criteria pretty easily; there is substantial coverage from a range of independent sources included in the article, per WP:CORPDEPTH. I also cannot see that the article is written in a particularly promotional tone - the sections on policies and procedures and on membership are perhaps a little promotional but not terribly so, in my opinion, and there is a substantial section on criticism and controversies. If their employees should use the article for promotional purposes, that can be fixed without deleting it. --bonadea contributions talk 16:39, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Do it really have independent and significant coverage about the company, not just mere mentions about it. Joeccho (talk) 04:54, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Plenty of independent coverage and quite a lot of discussion of what it does. Rathfelder (talk) 15:25, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, a well-known organization in the field of cryonics and life extensionism, which has garnered a lot of coverage outside that field. - WPGA2345 - ☛ 01:36, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Obvious keep since Alcor is the best-known of all the cryonics organizations, according to Google N-gram viewer. There is plenty of lengthy coverage of it in WP:RS literature, and this is documented in the references to this article (Joechho asks if the coverage is "signifcant"-- over all, it is. But he must read the references to answer his own question; that's what they are there for). The second best-known cryonics organization, Cryonics Institute, is about the same size (1200 full members), started at about the same time (Alcor did a first cryopreservation in 1976, CI's first was 1977). But Alcor has far more money in its suspension fund than CI, and more famous cryopreserved people, including the first man to be cryopreserved in 1967, James Bedford, and of course baseball's Ted Williams.

Bangladeshi English

Procedural nom on behalf of an IP editor. Their rationale is:
uncensored and original research article- provided 2 sources are entirely topic unrelated −2A0A:A540:EF2C:0:206E:AE1E:B106:F48B (talk) 18:28, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep I am not at all sure what "uncensored" means. The topic of Bangladeshi English, or Banglish, is one that is studied in the context of World Englishes, dialects of English (a Wikipedia category[41]) spoken around the world. The article may not be well referenced, but plenty of sources do exist, including Contemporary Indian English: Variation and Change[42]; The Dhaka University Studies: Journal of the Faculty of Arts, Volume 65[43]; 'Bangladeshi English: A new variety', R Banu (2000) Journal of the Institute of Modern Languages; English in Bangladesh after independence: Dynamics of policy and practice, R Banu, R Sussex (2001) Oxford University Press - and many more. It is also used about the English spoken by British people of Bangladeshi heritage, eg in Zadie Smith - White Teeth and Multiculturalism[44]; Dialect death in Europe? Wilhelmina Jongenburger (2009) Mouton de Gruyter; Ethnicity, friendship network and social practices as the motor of dialect change: Linguistic innovation in London, De Gruyter 2008; 'Ethnicity, religion and practices: Adolescents in the East End of London' in Language and Identities (2009) Edinburgh University Press [45], etc. I don't know the motivations of the IP nominator, but I suspect that they have not done a WP:BEFORE.

Keep - per RebeccaGreen, passes WP:GNG. --Zayeem ^(talk) 13:06, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - The article might truly be in need of improvement, however it clearly passes WP:GNG (and consistency would lead us to included it anyway - if there are articles for other national varieties of English, hard to justify why this one would not warrant an article). The nomination is without merit (since it essentially reads “This article is a mess. It needs to be rewritten.”, and that is not a valid criterion, Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup) and should be closed per WP:SKCRIT no. 2 and/or 3. 107.190.33.254 (talk) 01:15, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:CREATIVE. What type of flute did he invent? "SquareONE" flute seems to be a brand name for his company. And simply being a flute maker doesn't seem indicate notability since most of List of flute makers don't have pages. Morgan Ginsberg (talk) 10:57, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The article says what type of flute he invented: flutes with square tone holes covered by square cups, which is why he uses the name SquareONE for them. Flutes (and other woodwind and brass instruments) generally have round holes and round covers. He is not simply a flute maker - he invented a new type of flute, which he makes.

Delete This article fails WP:GNG, WP:BIO1E, and WP:NOPAGE. There is no policy that the "oldest x" is notable and this article is empty once you remove longevity fancruft like mundane record information and her family tree. Her name, life dates, and nationality are best handled on the three lists they already reside on. This WP:PERMASTUB is not needed. Newshunter12 (talk) 23:47, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Trivia about age records is recorded on the relevant lists. The rest is extremely routine. — JFG ^talk 20:03, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Despite the arguments of not enough coverage, in Brazil where I live, her case was covered by main national TV news, as soon as she was recognised as oldest living woman at the time, and when she passed away. Although she and some other supercentenarians were humble people or common citizens, the interest on them is about longevity, and also social interest. So it seems that there is a persecution about supercentenarians, like the less wikipedia keeps about them the best, explain better why is that like this? We need to be resonable... IacobusBr (talk) 21:37, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage was way out of control. People who were not even that old but made claims (or other people made claims) were getting full articles. We have deturmined that just getting old is not a claim to notability. If sufficent sources can be added (English not required) there maybe an exception to be made.
