I don't believe being the 17th UK victim of a particular disease meets the criteria for Wikipedia:Notability (people). This information is more appropriate for inclusion in the article for the disease itself, Variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. — TAnthonyTalk 23:27, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

- Procedural close do we still discuss AfDs nominated by sockpuppets? The nom was just blocked. The recent AfD (April 2019) was no consensus, but would have been keep were it not for the three delete votes by socks of, you guessed it, the author of this second nomination. It seems sensible ot save time and close this proceduraly, since all the hubub is sock created here. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:06, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

- Keep There is significant coverage in the Deccan Herald and the New Indian Express, from 2011 to 2018. Looking at the edit history of the article, I see some very strange deletion of content, references and categories by one of the editors who voted Delete in the last AfD (who is now a blocked sock puppet, I see), and I note that both tags currently on the article have been added since that AfD too - the notability tag by the sock puppet. It seems there has been a concerted effort to vandalise and remove this article. RebeccaGreen (talk) 08:27, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: Actually, I see I noted coverage in the Times of India and The Hindu as well, in my !vote in the last AfD - they have since been removed. I'll try to find them and replace them. RebeccaGreen (talk) 08:31, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Article about former footballer who made a total of 3 substitute's appearances (totaling less than 90 minutes of play) in France's fully-pro Ligue 2. Although this appears to satisfy the bright-line of WP:NFOOTBALL, it does not because there is longstanding consensus that a footballer who played a minimal amount in a fully-pro league but comprehensively fails WP:GNG does not actually satisfy NFOOTBALL (see e.g., Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phakamani Mngadi). All of the online coverage in English- and French-language sources is routine (database entries). Jogurney (talk) 21:29, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep. subject passes WP:NFOOTBALL Players who have played, and managers who have managed in a competitive game between two teams from fully-professional leagues, will generally be regarded as notable. Note: The individual notability requirements were made for each category on WP i.e. actors, artists, professional athletes etc. The subject only needs to pass NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG. And this player clearly passes WP:NFOOTBALL by playing played in a professional league which is on our list... the nominator admits this in the nomination. WP recognizes that Footballers are notable for playing, not for tabloid headlines or interviews. Lightburst (talk) 02:16, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Don't speedy keep I'm neutral on what should be done with this article (leaning delete or redirect per the nominator's detailed reasoning), but WP:SKCRIT presents a narrow range of six possible criteria, of which 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 obviously cannot possibly apply, and 3 in this case cannot be taken to apply. The nominator explicitly cited NFOOTY and then stated why he felt it didn't apply in this case; the above "speedy keep" !vote, on the other hand, appears be ignorant not only of the speedy keep criteria but even of what the nominator in this case clearly wrote. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 05:04, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - scrapes by on WP:NFOOTBALL but fails WP:GNG with no sources at all beyond databases. If you can find a source then ping me so I can reconsider. GiantSnowman 08:01, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Giant The subject only needs to pass WP:NFOOTBALL or GNG, that is why WP has categories for each, like WP:PROF and WP:SOLDIER for instance. Many editors believe that a subject must pass both but that is incorrect. I hope that helps. Lightburst (talk) 12:46, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

- Giant Please see (Notability) A topic is presumed to merit an article if:
- It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and
- It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy. Lightburst (talk) 13:11, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Obviously passes WP:NFOOTY. One questionably closed AfD does not make "longstanding consensus". Smartyllama (talk) 12:22, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Smartyllama: see AFDs on Oscar Otazu, Vyacheslav Seletskiy, Aleksandr Salimov, Andrei Semenchuk, Artyom Dubovsky, Cosmos Munegabe, Marios Antoniades, Scott Sinclair, Fredrik Hesselberg-Meyer, Matheus Eccard, Roland Szabó (2nd nomination), Metodija Stepanovski, Linas Klimavičius, Takumi Ogawa, Nicky Fish and Andrei Nițu, amongst others. GiantSnowman 13:03, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Giant Editors are unaware of the policy as you were also unaware. We can point to hundreds of AfD's that did not follow WP:POLICY. The ivoters vote based on their understanding of the criteria and relevant policies. AfD is based on who shows up to ivote, not and all voters understand the policy. Even the nom admits that the subject passes WP:NFOOTBALL and I just showed you the relevant policy. However each editor can still vote against policy if they wish. I just hope the closer gives more weight to an argument based on the policies set forth in the Notability requirements. Lightburst (talk) 13:53, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Please re-read my nomination rationale - nowhere does it "admit" that this article satisfies NFOOTBALL. Also, NFOOTBALL is a presumption of notability and per long-standing (Cosmos Muneagabe was decided in December 2011!) consensus demonstrated through dozens of AfDs (including many during the past 6 months) shows that this presumption should be rebutted when a player has a nominal amount of play in a fully-pro league during a career that fails to have sourcing which satisfies the GNG. This is hardly controversial as editors and administrators participating in those AfDs have very consistently reached the same conclusion. Jogurney (talk) 14:27, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Note: I have read the nomination: the nomination incorrectly states that the subject must pass both nfootball and gng - WP:NOTPOLICY. And the nomination mentions long standing consensus, which also is not policy... rather it is based on ivoters voting their understanding of policy. For your nomination to be correct on policy, WP:NFOOTBALL would need to be rewritten to add your caveats regarding playing time (which you mention as having a bearing), and adding in an additional GNG requirement which the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline (professor, soldier, actor, etc.) does not require. Lightburst (talk) 14:46, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- You are misunderstanding the consensus (perhaps a read of the many AfDs linked here would help?). I never said an article must satisfy NFOOTBALL and GNG, just that the presumption of notability in NFOOTBALL can be rebutted (as it is has in similar situations several times before and should be here).

- Delete. Coming off the substitute's bench three times in a second-tier league is not, never has been, and never should be, a free pass around the general notability guideline. That guideline exists to ensure that we have properly sourced articles and is particularly important for biographies of living persons. Editors arguing otherwise both misunderstand the meaning of "presume" in the relevant guidelines and fail to understand the damage caused by the flotsam and jetsam of thousands of non-notable football biographies floating around unwatched and not updated. --Mkativerata (talk) 01:04, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

The best I could find with this which is at least a published book with two sentences about him, but it's not multiple sources, not in-depth, and I suspect not adequately reliable (because more interested in repeating puffed-up stories about Goans than in verifying their accuracy).

This is best done by sectioning the general page under categories."

*Delete Article and almost all of the sources are about reparations for slavery, not about this ORG. A quick gNews search on "American Descendants of Slavery" does turns up a few mentions. Problems. 1.) Page purports to be about an ORG, but offers no sourced info about the ORG itself. 2.) Page fails to establish that this ORG is notable. 3.) Page as written is a WP:COATRACK for sundry arguments related to Reparations for slavery and Reparations for slavery debate in the United States, an unnecessary duplication. Compare with The National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America, not a great page, but certainly a respectable page about the topic . If someone can source and rewrite this into a page on the organization it purports to be about - with WP:RS establishing that it is notable - ping me and I will cheerfully reconsider.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:41, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep if this were NORG, where I apply my strictest interpretation of GNG, I might not be a keep. However, as a movement/hashtag more analogous to Black Lives Matter than the NAACP I'm a keep. Examples of RS coverage I found fairly quickly beyond Vox: the best coverage is from Daily Dot article entirely about the movement, followed by Buzzfeed (several paragraphs focusing on the movement, though not focus of story), with more passing mentions by The Hill and Washington Post (these last two notably not being signficant but are showing that this movement is receiving notice worthy of encyclopedic coverage. This current article needs some TNT which I would be willing to apply if this is kept but I think the topic itself is notable. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 23:54, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per Barkeep49, this is a distinctive sub-stream of the reparations movement, that should be covered as such, and, like BLM, it is more an idea and online discourse than a single organization. I agree also that the more generic stuff about reparations in general should be pared down, and the particular aspects of this stream emphasized.--Pharos (talk) 14:50, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- User:Barkeep49, User:Pharos, are you OK with cutting this down to a stub until addition sources are found?

- Comment - The article's overly promotional tone and statements like: "...Shin has withstood all the hardships with pride, and his accomplishments certainly entitles him for such pride and confidence" and "I would like to appraise that his works allow us to discover the energy a cup of tea can bring into our lives..." mades one wonder if the IP and the page creator (both SPA's) may have COI? Searches on Google Books, news, newspapers, Korean wikipedia, JSTOR and Google searches turned up nothing but a culinary wordpress-blog post, a press release from a group show of ten artists that lists his name only, and then this: a review of a group show at the V&A in London, but unfortunately it only devotes half a sentence to him. If he is in fact in the permanent collections of the listed museums, then he would pass notability criteria, however there are no RS backing up those claims. Netherzone (talk) 04:12, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, the V&A review is about a show that he is not in-- it just references his work. I am starting to wonder if the reputation is entirely concocted. A Korean-language speaking editor would be helpful here.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:04, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- This morning I searched every institution on the list of collections and came up with zero. I used variations of his name: Shin Hyun-choul, Hyun Choul Shin, as well as a translation into Korean characters. Also searched Western museums with major Asian collections such as Smithsonian, Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, Asia Society Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum and even the V&A collection: zero. I am wondering if he may be a commercial potter who sells work in the museum stores of the institutions listed, rather than being in these permanent collections? The group shows are not convincing: Yokohama Trade Fair, a Tea Culture Conference, a Planning Forum, Ceramic Pottery Contest, Pottery Biennale Workshop, New Design Fair, etc. A few sound more credible like the Tokyo Modern Art Center Invitational Exhibition, but no sources. Will keep looking, tho. Yes it would be great if a Korean language fluent editor could help out with this. Netherzone (talk) 16:12, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

- Delete based on the above discussion, I am going to say delete. Extensive searches by Netherzone and myself turned up no sources. He has a video online of a show at the Gyeongju Art Centre, but this looks to be a local cultural centre, albeit large, rather than a major museum.

I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but there does not seem to be independent reviews or citations.

- The Gyeongju Art Centre is a performing arts center (that may have a gallery inside, or the lobby space may be used thusly) - it is not the Gyeongju Art Museum, which is a different institution. Both have prestige (I had heard about them when I used to teach in Seoul, but never ended up making the trip there.)

Was a redirect, then moved to draft, now moved back to mainspace. No real world notability, should be a redirect, but since some editors are insistent at creating articles for every fictional character ever written, here we are. This character's greatest claim to fame is they are the "sixth greatest Grand Theft Auto protagonist of all time". Not the greatest character, not the second greatest character. Not even the sixth greatest character, but the sixth greatest protagonist. Current sourcing is all primary, or about the actor who does the voice over, or brief blurbs.

- Weak keep Let's keep in mind that Journey to the West is one of the great works of world literature, and that individual characters (List of Journey to the West characters) may well be notable enough to sustain separate articles. That's certainly so for the main protagonists. It's a little more questionable for the vast roster of antagonists and side characters. I think a case could be made here that the character is prominent enough to merit an article; but I wouldn't object much if it got merged (back) to a list entry either. Borderline. - See also Baigujing and Red Boy, which are in the same bracket. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:58, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. The Journey to the West is not a random work of fiction; it is one of the most significant works of Chinese literature and it's perfectly reasonable that characters in it have pages of their own. The sources could be improved: here are two suggestions for scholarly articles in English: [3] [4], and a book which describes the capture of Niu Mowang as "one of the best known" of the book's stories. As for the vast roster, well, have you seen e.g. Template:Odyssey navbox? Yes, Other Stuff Exists, but Chinese works are as deserving of complete coverage as Western ones, and there shouldn't be a separate prominence threshold imposed on them beyond detailed coverage in reliable sources. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 15:05, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

- Keep The party ran a successful campaign. Also, a search on WPREF [5], scholar [6], and books [7] prove that the article satisfies the WP:GNG. AmericanAir88(talk) 14:08, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- AmericanAir88, this party did not win an election. It’s a bit tricky to explain, but New York allows something called electoral fusion, and this “party” was a nonexistent organization created by the Republican Party. Electoral fusion in New York allows parties to nominate candidates from other parties and their votes count towards the candidate’s overall total, but they still hold a separate ballot line. Look at the actual sources added: the New York Times one notes that this “party” was really a ballot line, not an organization, and that it endorsed the exact same candidates as Republicans, because it was essentially just an alternative name for the party. Accordingly, this wasn’t a party at all - it was a legal fiction created by the Pataki campaign and the Republican party to take advantage of electoral fusion. This could easily be merged to the Republican Party of New York or to George Pataki. Just look at the sources you mention - in their tiny, trivial coverage of this party (which fails our notability guidelines, as they require comprehensive coverage), all of them will say this. This “party” is not independently notable of Pataki or the GOP. Toa Nidhiki05 14:20, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Toa Nidhiki05: Look at this sentence in the article "The creation of Tax Cut Now was a success; not only did his overall vote total exceed that of incumbent Mario Cuomo, propelling Pataki to the Governor's Mansion, but Tax Cut Now contributed 54,040 votes to the total." The article makes it evident that the party made a difference in the 1994. The amount of voters also allowed candidates to fully run. How about the campaign guide by the NYT [8]. This gives insight on the Cuomo impact [9]. These two books describes the power of the party [10] [11]. Here are some more books [12], [13], and [14]. The point is that this article clearly passes the WP:GNG and has made an impact on New York politics. AmericanAir88(talk) 14:30, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

- The claim that the Wiki article makes is not backed up - it’s original research. Pataki won by double that amount. The New York Times campaign guide is exactly the source I was talking about; it mentions the party very briefly and trivially, notes it is a ballot line run by Republicans, and moves on. That is trivial coverage. Per WP:ORGCRIT, organizations must have significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable secondary sources. A brief passing mention is not significant coverage. Actually read your sources:
- Governing New York - Not even a full paragraph explaining the party existed and was a creation of the Pataki/Republican campaign. It was a “direct creature” of the Republican Party. It was created exclusively for Pataki’s 1994 campaign.
- Reports of selected cases decided in courts of the State of New York other than the Court of Appeals and the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court - This is a lawsuit and court case. Does not establish notability.
- Multiparty Politics in America: Prospects and Performance - It’s literally the exact same text as the Governing New York one.
- Village Voice - A two-sentence mention in the context of a naming dispute with the subject of the article. Again, it notes this a Republican front group. This is purely trivial coverage.
- The two academic ones I cannot read. They do not mention the party in previews and you have not given any quotations to judge on. So out of what we can see, all mentions of this “party” are trivial, and all of them mention it in the context of being a Republican front group for the 1994 Pataki campaign. As E.M.Gregory suggested, this should be redirected to the 1994 New York gubernatorial election article, or perhaps to the articles for George Pataki or the Republican Party of New York. This “party” clearly is not independently notable of those. Toa Nidhiki05 14:43, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

- coverage is of this party as a sort of political trick; by forming a legal "party" that qualified for a ballot line the George Pataki campaign found a way to found a way to get enough votes from voters judged unwilling to pull Republican levers to put Pataki, the Republican candidate , into office in a very blue state in the 1994 New York gubernatorial election.

- Keep I added some additional sources. It's also was cited in this supreme court review. Additionally, I found sources that could be added to our coverage, but since they concern local candidates I didn't know where to place them.[15][16][17][18]
I'll also point out that both AmericanAir88 and I live in Connecticut where fusion is also practiced. I therefore have the utmost confidence in his understanding of this type of political system.
Further, I oppose merger at this time. Adding it to 1994 New York gubernatorial election, New York Republican State Committee, or George Pataki would create massive undue weight concerns. It's obvious that the party is best understood within the context of its creation, but until someone writes George Pataki 1994 New York gubernatorial campaign I see no reason to merge. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 01:58, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- How would it be UNDUE to mention it on the New York GOP page? The entire history of this "party" can be summed up in like one paragraph: it was a ballot line created in 1994 to help Pataki's campaign, was used for that election, was run as a puppet organization by the state Republican party, and folded in 1998 when Pataki declined to use it. There is nothing notable about this "party" outside of its connection to the Pataki campaign. Toa Nidhiki05 02:20, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

- Comment As nominator, who always read "significant" as meaning "Reasonably large in number or amount" and not "That which has significance (The extent to which something matters)", this AfD process has been frustrating.

Since I am not from the Bay Area, are either the Mercury News or SFGate considered to be regional sources? ★ Bigr Tex 20:26, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- I'm also not from the Bay Area, but The Mercury News is a daily newspaper published in San Jose by the Bay Area News Group and apparently the fifth largest daily newspaper in the US (in 2013). SFGate belongs to the San Francisco Chronicle of Hearst Corporation, apparently a major daily paper covering the city and county of San Francisco. According to their web site, they are among the top five newspaper websites nationally. So they both appear to be regional, not only local. They are both independent.

- Keep and rename Kasper's. Subject and it's back history seems notable, especially when the historical family infighting is factored in. My concern is with the title, since it looks to me that Kasper's is the more notable name in most of the sources for having been the founder organization which still has branches operating. It is also the name of the third branch of the family business (the original store in Oakland), so it might be 2 against 1. Casper's should be included in a subheading as the spinoff.

- Comment not sure what the nom means by "the works", but I see a good mention in this book, this book, a short intro to a book chapter (it might also be a review) here, another book mention here, a mention in this book (for which I rely on the search results), a mention in Vermont Life, brief mention in the book "Digital Anthropology", and coverage in the Mercury News.

- I cannot confirm that Bissonnette's art is in the collection of the Musée de l'Art Brut in Switzerland, as stated in the article, but his work -is- in the collection of the Lille Métropole Museum of Modern, Contemporary and Outsider Art See [20]That work from 1976 predates the use of assistive devices by 15 years. It is possible that those works were not created by Bisonette. I find no reliable sources saying his works are forgeries. I do see documentary evidence of Bisonette painting. His artwork, at least, appears to be his own. Vexations (talk) 01:54, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

- I am not familiar with the collection in the Lille, generally having art owned by a museum is not enough to prove notability, often times they "collect" art they do not display. Sgerbic (talk) 16:39, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- Sgerbic,
generally having art owned by a museum is not enough to prove notability
WP:ARTIST says nothing about the work in the collection being on display to establish notability. It does sayrepresented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums
To clarify (and I apologize if this is superfluous): the permanent collection of a museum is not always on display in its entirety. "Several", on the other hand,is an issue here: I can only confirm ONE museum collection. Vexations (talk) 21:19, 23 July 2019 (UTC) - Sgerbic, it's the selection for the collection that is the important aspect for determining notability. When museums collect, they commit with great care as they are also committing to represent the art of the time in question, and to keep that are safe and dry for what could be centuries. Regarding whether it is on display or not, see this article in the NY Times that quotes the Metropolitan Museum of Art as having two million objects in its collection, and less than one percent of that on display. It's entirely normal. Per WP:ARTIST, as Vexations points out, it is the selection of the work, rather than the display of the work, that is important. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:19, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- I didn't see any reviews of his art from art critics in national or international newspapers. Apparently, the art piece the Bennington Museum has was a gift. (From the article, it didn't look like the art piece was purchased by the museum). I looked in Global Newstream (a database for newspapers worldwide). Generally, if someone is notable, all kinds of articles pop up.

- Keep all of the AFDs mentioned in the nomination seem to have to do with something called "facilitated communication", which is apparently discredited. If I disregard FC and his own artwork, and look only at the sources, this is notable individual as there is decent coverage. The main topic for notability here is his individual story, not his artworks. See the book links above, and the sources added to the article, as well as the museum collection found by Vexations.

- Keep per references above. From my POV, he clearly passes WP:ARTIST. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:59, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
- Comment The bottom line on Bissonnette is - does the art by itself make the artist worthy of a Wikipedia page? Does having art purchased by a museum (or maybe a couple museums which we can't find evidence for) make the artist worthy of a Wikipedia page? If so, then we are probably missing thousands of pages for artists. That criteria is pretty low. Anything reported to be said by Bissonnette is not from him but his facilitator. We don't know his intentions with his art. Sgerbic (talk) 22:25, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
- Those are interesting thoughts– but they are not related to our notability policy. Being purchased by a museum does contribute to notability, per WP:ARTIST. Appraising the artwork itself is not necessary at all as we go by the appraisal of others, in secondary sources. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:17, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
- Significant and Substantial are what the policy refers to. "The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." Do we have evidence that Bissonnette's work has hit this bar? Sgerbic (talk) 06:29, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

- Comment I am just starting to look for sources myself, and to consider sources noted by other editors in this AfD discussion. I would note that WP:ARTIST does not require "Significant and Substantial" work - it says "The person's work (or works) has: ..... or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." So what we are looking for is his work in several notable collections - or lots of reviews (for the "significant critical attention"), or, for WP:GNG, significant coverage about him (and the National Geographic TV episode is surely one such source about him).

- That a possible argument for renaming (but not deletion) to List of political scandals in Australia (which does not exist).

- Delete. This is a broad list based on undefined criteria. What counts as a "controversy"? Looking at the list, the Playmander and the Bjelkemander were certainly controversial, but are they really controversies in the same sense as, say, the Morosi Affair? I see Cornelia Rau, Vivian Solon and Peter Slipper here despite those being biographies; I would also dispute the idea that "controversies" and "scandals" are interchangeable. The Morosi affair was certainly a scandal; I think it's a big stretch to describe the Dismissal in the same sense. An inherently POV list that would be better deleted.

Controversy & scandal are not interchangeable - to me describing a matter as controversial does not involve a POV, but scandal does, because of the additional element of wrong doing.

- Not about the stadium. Rallies held, okay, but why stadium is important? Störm (talk) 06:42, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
- I would have thought that the fact that the now Prime Minister of Pakistan held large political rallies at the stadium might make one stop for a moment and consider whether their denial of the stadium's notability might be just a little bit anglocentric. Would a large cricket stadium in any city in the Western world really not meet the GNG? Of course not. Why would the answer in Pakistan be any different. And, of course, recourse to Urdu sources, which should have been done before nominating for deletion, confirms this answer and confirms that deleting this article would be patently absurd. For example, this article is entirely about the stadium and its dilapidated condition. Just run it through google translate and see. --Mkativerata (talk) 08:29, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

- Keep A stadium need not host national events to be notable, it just must pass WP:GNG/WP:NBUILD. There are a number of articles in English about rallies which have been held in the stadium without being about the stadium specifically, and I can't do a local language search, but I imagine there would have to be local sources per WP:NEXIST, especially because the government specifically updated the stadium. Also, since it's foreign, the stadium appears as Jafri Stadium, Zamir Jafri Stadium, Syed Zamir Jaffri Stadium, et cetera. SportingFlyer T·C 21:04, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

- It has a number of passing mentions in English without any specific "ground construction in Jherum," and from the photos the stadium was clearly sponsored either by the cricket board or by the local government. From the English sources alone you can patch together a decent stub. I can't search in Punjabi or Urdu as I don't know either of these languages, all I have is what's online in English, but given the stadium is used for tournaments by the Pakistani cricket board I would assume there's online and offline sources in both of these languages.

- If my reading of WP:CRIN is correct then I would be inclined to head towards very strong keep. This is based on:
- the second sentence of which suggests to me that any ground used by any community group whatsoever is considered notable by WP:CRIN standards. I find this odd, bizarre and so on, but I don't see how it means anything different to that.
- I don't particularly agree that this reading is desirable or workable to works in any way to determine what is or isn't notable - it seems bizarre that my local cricket club's ground is, by definition, notable when there are no independent sources on it.
- I've just suggested on two other AfD that WP:CRIN needs a total rewrite in some areas at least. This does nothing to suggest otherwise to me. Blue Square Thing (talk) 15:27, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Blue Square Thing: I'd argue WP:CRIN has nothing to do with buildings (see WP:NBUILD, but the test is also "regular usage" by a "notable club" as opposed to "any community group whatsoever," so I'm not too fussed. SportingFlyer T·C 16:32, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

- I agree. I'm not too fussed about the CRIN since if you read it narrowly it just implies ovals used by notable teams should also be notable, which is likely true. Also, for the purposes of this AfD this ground appears to be covered locally, as was my guess. See [26]. Can't make heads or tails of the Google translate. SportingFlyer T·C 16:56, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

At any rate, this is the google search page that comes up when you type in the name of the stadium in Urdu script. I get the sense that the nominator didn't do this.

- As you clearly know what you're talking about, I don't suppose you could add them in to the article could you? It could use plenty of work and I haven't a single word of Urdu myself. If you can get the basics right then I'm sure other people can do any tweaking. Much appreciated - I hope I'm not being presumptuous by asking you to help us out here. Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:11, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't speak a word of Urdu either. It's just that (a) it appeared plainly obvious to me that a large provincial stadium would have a fair bit written about it in the local language, and (b) it's also obvious that because our page on the stadium links to a sister page on Urdu wikipedia: [27], you can use the title of that page to search for sources and then run a rough google translate to confirm the gist of what they say. That's more than sufficient to confirm that this stadium meets the GNG and it's something the nominator should have done. Moreover, now that it has been done, it should be causing the nominator to withdraw the AfD. I think it is productive to criticise a nominator when they have wilfully put forward someone else's work for deletion on the basis of a grossly deficient WP:BEFORE effort. The reason that it is productive to do so is that we need to make sure it does not happen again. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:18, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Besides above mentioned large political rallies, including led by the current Prime Minister of Pakistan, i would like to add that stadium may not host international events but it does host some official domestic matches and domestic events. Here Pakistan Cricket Board's 2015 talent hunt program held at this stadium in Jhelum, similarly 2014's talent hunt event for region and Elections of District Cricket Association Jhelum and list of activecricket clubs. Urdupoint is a reliable newswebsite, it has an news article regarding Spring celebration festival named Jashn-e-Jhelum held in April 2019 at Zamir Jaffri Cricket stadium. This video is of Jashn-e-Jhelum Festival in which host is mentioning that he is present in Zamir Jaffri stadium at 13th second. National news channel Hum News also mentioned celebration of this festival in news here and here. Also we have a link to a TV program (District Diary) on a national TV channel Kay2 TV regarding Zamir Jaffri Stadium. 24 News HD also noted the deteriorating condition of this stadium.

- Author feedback - Per WP:NCORP - notable? A Congresswoman cited them, albeit negatively, as being on the side of the bad guys. Computerworld had an article, 1/3 of which is about them, the rest is about Outsourcing training and certification, as it related to computer people. A University of Oxford/Oxford University study, posted on the National Center for Biotechnology Information's website, wants them to "update its ethical standards to be more in line with the worker protections needed in a digital economy." The awards and hall of fame part, by itself, may not be A-1/top-of-the-line notability, but when a different Member of Congress is pounding away about "a malicious attack meant to break the backs of organized labor in Ohio" that has a certain amount of notability too.
The article even has a caveat from 2009 IAOP Hall of Fame inductee Peter Drucker regarding outsourcing and "large numbers of people" that begins "there is a price..." Pi314m (talk) 20:50, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
- Pi314m, I don't understand what you are trying to argue here. "Five items were covered" and it's sourced to a page with Google search results? That's a terrible practice--but it gets worse when one actually goes and looks at the things listed on that page, which includes stuff like this--which is clearly marked as a press release. In other words, "covered by the New York Times" is just completely untrue: the NYT merely reproduced a press release. Even reference 18, falsely claimed to link to coverage by the New York Times, is a press release, as revealed by the very URL, https://markets.on.nytimes.com/research/stocks/news/press_release.asp?docTag=201902130900PR_NEWS_USPRX____NY52388%26feedID=600%26press_symbol=6694205 .

- always Keep. Because he is an adult (and not a junior) and because he got a podium at World Cup with coverage.-Binbaksa (talk) 00:13, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
- None of the events he's had success at are considered the highest level--quoting WP:NSPORT"highest level (such as the Olympics)". Depending on the sport, and the number of entries, world championships may also be viewed as showing notability. World Cup and University games are not at that level. In fencing, World Cup events convey only 1/3 of the ratings points of the Olympics, 40% of that for the world championships, and only 2/3 of the points for zonal championships. That seems to show a clear gap between World Cup and "highest level". The Universiade games have 0 ratings points. Sports like boxing and kickboxing accept competitors ranked in the top 10, while even world championship quarterfinalists in judo have been put up for deletion. As far as I can tell he's not ranked in the top 50 and has never competed at an adult world championship. Some routine sports reporting on lesser events does not suffice for meeting WP:GNG.

- So you are completely wrong saying that « he’s not ranked in the top 50 » but you are right for the fact he has never competed yet in a World Championship: ahah, he is an Italian, one of the best countries in foil ! If you think that Universiade is not very important, consult again please the results of the 10 last Universiades (and even the most recent one: Fencing at the 2019 Summer Universiade) and you will notice many great champions (Olympic and World). We do not share the fact that a direct coverage on Rai 2 (the second main channel in Italy, you can see the video here) is enough for the notorious. Seen by millions of people. Live. It is enough for my point of vue.-Binbaksa (talk) 19:44, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for clarifying. I can't access the FIE website on my computer so I looked at the World Cup article that said he was ranked 64th at the beginning of that event. The point is he's nowhere near the top 10 and you haven't countered the fact that he's never competed at the highest level (World Cups are the 4th highest level event). It's irrelevant that some Universiade winners have become notable because notability is not inherited. Being in a live event on TV is nice, but thousands of American college football players have that every year and yet are not deemed WP notable. Papaursa (talk) 23:10, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

- Thanks@Meeanaya:. I was not mistaking references to Seva Mandir, Udaipur, with generic use of the term. I am sufficiently conversant with the subject matter to not conflate the specific name with the generic name. Please refer to the following in-depth and reliable sources about Seva Mandir, Udaipur (which are only representative and do not represent the whole body of literature referencing Seva Mandir; these sources do not only mention Seva Mandir in passing, but study its work in detail):
- 1) Article in the Asia Pacific Journal of Rural development referencing Seva Mandir's work in forestry development
- 2) The book 'Civil Society and Democratization in India: Institutions, Ideologies and Interests' which references several aspects of Seva Mandir's work in health, education, forestry, and rural development in general
- 3) Paper titled 'Health, healthcare and economic development' which references the work by Seva Mandir in the area of health
- 4) Paper in International Journal of Rural Management referencing Seva Mandir's work in development women's self-help groups
- You stated your grounds for deletion are both notability and self-creation. The former ground is not strong, based on the above evidence. In case of the latter, please direct me to the policy/policies which indicate self-creation is a criteria for deletion.Deccantrap (talk) 13:09, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
- I had a chance to look up consequences of a subject self-creating an article about itself. As per WP:YOURSELF, an organization creating an article about itself is discouraged but not prohibited as long as WP:NPOV and WP:NOTADVERTISING are not violated. Because several independent editors have contributed to the Seva Mandir article and I do not see WP:NPOV or WP:NOTADVERTISING being violated, I don't think self-creation provides grounds for deletion. @Meeanaya: please let me know if I am misinterpreting any of the above factors.Deccantrap (talk) 14:30, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

- @Meeanaya: can you please clarify if you are nominating deletion for (a) lack of notability or (b)because it was self-created by the subject? If the former, I don't think notability is an issue as a quick search of Google Scholar and Google Books throws up with a large number of references in several credible books and academic journals about this organization. A citation needed tag would be a more appropriate response (in fact I now remember I did some reference clean-up on this article not too long ago). If it is the latter, then can you please point to WP policy showing this can be a reason for deletion? Thanks.Deccantrap (talk) 17:38, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
- Strong keep, for reasons noted above. Correct remedy for deficiency in articles is to edit or attach tags to fix, not deletion.Deccantrap (talk) 19:47, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
- Draftify Not suitable for mainspace: insufficient good sources for notability, and written promotionally. . Reading the references above makes it seem that an acceptable article ccould be written, but it has to be written before we can keep it. This is one of the reasons we created Draft space. Before we had craft space, we sometimes used o keep articles usuch as these on the mere promise of rewriting and about two thirds of the time had to remove them when they did not actually get rewritten; now we have a better way. The reason for not writing articles with strong COI is precisely that it is not likely to be a satisfactory article, as is demonstrated once again here--another reason why we have draft space.

I removed a promotional sentence from the article and do not find the rest of the text to be particularly promotional. The article text contains factual information about the group. I do not consider this to be a WP:TNT case.

The subject doesn't meet WP:GNG, due to lack of WP:RS. The article has self published sources. It also fails following two notability criteria for websites. 1.The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.
and 2.The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization.

- Comment -- please look at the interwiki. There are quite a few sources on the German page, some of which would seem to be reliable. matt91486 (talk) 16:52, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep (or rewrite...), long-term notable blog. From the German Wikipedia's article you can see that their internal quarrels make major mainstream news: [34], [35]. Failing that, redirect to Henryk M. Broder. —Kusma (t·c) 18:41, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
- I would support the redirect idea. As a general principle (irrespective of this particular case), what makes a blog notable? Surely the author(s) would have to be very notable indeed? and convincing (RS) evidence produced that it is influential. I suggest also that articles in each language wikipedia should be notable enough to stand on their own after a reasonable time has elapsed to bring them up to scratch. If there are significant interwiki sources, it should not be a big effort to meet this test. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:48, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
- Please see WP:OTHERLANG. English Wikipedia has different notability guidelines than most other wikis. I don't know German, so I didn't bother to check it. You need to add reliable sources here to prove notability. It doesn't matter, if those sources exist there. Masum Reza📞 19:13, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

I am aware that the fact that the German Wikipedia has an article is at best anecdotal evidence for an AFD here, but the point is that the German article's references show that there are WP:RS talk about the blog, showing that the first of the notability criteria you mention in your nomination is satisfied. —Kusma (t·c) 19:50, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
- That isn't true, Masumrezarock100 -- WP:NEXIST means that sources need to exist, not be added to the article. If the German language wiki has reliable sources, that is sufficient. And checking the interwiki is a basic aspect of WP:BEFORE, which should have been done before any nomination. matt91486 (talk) 05:31, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

- @John Maynard Friedman: This is a problematic argument in general: obscurity is not the same thing as WP non-notability; we have articles on plenty of obscure but notable topics that nobody touches for many years. Hence WP:IMPATIENT. It's especially problematic when the article is about a topic mainly of interest for non-English-speakers. The German Wikipedia article gets a good amount of editing interest.

- Like I said before, the interwiki should be consulted. There are various sources from there that indicate notability. Going through them should have fallen under the onus of the nominator as a step of WP:BEFORE. [36], [37], [38], [39], [40]. These are all third party, reliable sources (and most of them fairly prominent, though Migazin is a bit more narrowly focused). And this is without any additional searching. These sources were already all present in the German article. The book chapter referenced (I just downloaded it) doesn't talk about it extensively, but provides an additional credible academic cite for classifying it as an anti-Islamic blog. As such, Keep. matt91486 (talk) 18:00, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- And to reiterate NEXIST: It doesn't matter if the article is improved if the sources to indicate notability exists -- which these do regardless of if I (or anyone else) takes the time to incorporate them into the article. matt91486 (talk) 18:04, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

- Keep: On WP:NEXIST basis. I will attempt to convince you of the same (I do have a bias as the creator of the article.)
- I started creating this one back when I wouldn't first collect sources before starting on the article. This actor is notable. But I can't prove it on strict Wikipedia standards. I don't have access to offline sources and we don't have a reliable and prolific online source on entertainment in Nepal. So, having started the article, I left the article with all the hopefully non-controversial sources I could find, hoping I'd at least established that the actor is real and notable based on NPOSSIBLE.
- First off, this is the state of the article on the most successful Nepali actress in history. This is the case because she went in decline before the internet became a big thing in Nepal. It's the same case with our subject, although she was not nearly as successful. I could beef up both with iffy sources. I chose not to.
- For example, this gives 23 film credits for our subject and this one gives 25. Almost all of them were as lead actress or co-lead as love interest of the protagonist. I didn't use these sources because they're not standard reliable sources but on the other hand, I think they do meet the spirit of the WP:SOURCE statement that
appropriateness of any source depends on the context
since there's little reason to fabricate filmography of a retired actress who's moved on from her profession as well as country, not to mention these sources are used in almost all other articles on Nepali film. - I am certain there's plenty of offline RS coverage of her during her prime, which was most of the 90s and early 2000s. I can see at least half a dozen credits of those 23-25, which anyone from Nepal who knows anything about Nepali film would know of. Like: Aago - A big name pro-maoist propaganda feature released during the maoist insurgency, which generated plenty of controversy and earned some dough at the back of that controversy, but also got banned and generated freedom of expression/censorship debates, which was had again when it re-shot and re-released after the insurgency ended, even leading to a sequel.
- This is the extent of what I'm willing to say in defence of this article. I do think it will contribute to systemic bias in Wikipedia if it is deleted, but other than that I am not really going to lose sleep over this one. I certainly wouldn't create this article now, but I wouldn't go as far as deleting it either.Usedtobecool ✉️ ✨ 18:58, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

I came across few passing mentions that I deemed not enough for demonstrating notability. Even you made it clear that there are lack of online sourcing and you have not produced any instant of offline sourcing yet.

You don't need to vote on everything. Hitro talk 10:09, 14 July 2019 (UTC)- All I meant to say was, the first sentence of your comment was sufficient to make your point as it relates to this AfD. Perhaps we disagree on that, but since that's not what we're trying to resolve here, let's leave it at that. To be clear, I do think I've supplied enough evidence to assure editors that offline sources do/must exist even if I can't provide them. But I do understand that
... once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, ...
and so I leave it at the capable hands of the community to decide its fate. My non-chalance is mainly to do with how little there is to write about the subject currently, and how easily the content can be recovered/recreated when the sources become available (neither of which is a reason to delete though).

- Keep: Search of Native Name (सारंगा श्रेष्ठ) gives a some good references like 1, 2 that provides WP:SIGCOV of the actress in respect to her acting career. Given that this is one of the oldest movies in Nepal, it is hard to find reference for the actress and the movie. But I found some references that talk about the movie 'Aago' here and here. The later talks also about more of the movies she has worked on. Also WP:GNGACTOR mentions that missing out WP:GNG doesn't mean the actor is not notable and it isn't required to have in-depth coverage of the individual in the reliable source. These references along with the ones already on the page is, I believe, enough to prove her notability, both for WP:SIGCOV and WP:NACTOR. Bishal Shrestha (talk) 00:25, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

- Comment There is actually more than meets the eye here, which brings an interesting question: Timoner managed Happy Valley in the second tier of Hong Kong football, the Hong Kong First Division League, between August and October 2013 (per Soccerway), a league that was professional until 2014 (as noted at FPL). However, Happy Valley's results were expunged [41] in the following February (2014) and they were excluded; though disciplinary stuff remains 'on record' [42] - long after Timoner left. So, he did manage in an FPL league... it's just a question of how we see the expunging of results. Thoughts? GiantSnowman, CASSIOPEIA & Jogurney. R96Skinner (talk) 23:32, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. Neighbourhood advisory commission (a/k/a neighborhood council) is not a level of office that gets an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL #2, but this article is not referenced anywhere close to well enough to get him over the bar: of the 28 footnotes here, nine of them are primary sources that are not support for notability at all (i.e. Twitter tweets and/or the self-published websites of organizations he's directly affiliated with), another 11 are high school or college student newspapers which are not notability-assisting coverage, and the few that are real general-market media are still exclusively local coverage which doesn't demonstrate a credible reason why his notability could be deemed to have nationalized at all. As always, GNG is not just "anybody who's gotten their name into any media outlet twice or more" — GNG does not just test for the number of footnotes, but also applies tests for depth and range and context, and the sourcing here isn't passing those tests.

- Delete Does not pass WP:NPOL, and even if stories cover him as the youngest official when elected, it looks like all the significant coverage is about that, so the main notability claim fails under WP:BLP1E. The rest of the coverage appears to be passing mentions and routine coverage that any elected official gets.

- The Washington Post article is technically local coverage, even "national" newspapers still cover local interest stories. The "USA Today" piece is actually a NorthJersey.com article, USAToday.com hosts pretty much every local paper owned by its parent company Gannett, so its really an article published in The Record (Bergen County, New Jersey), the Herald News, or the Daily Record (Morristown) about his Eagle Scout project.

Recreation of Hell is Real and Cincinnati-Columbus rivalry. I am still not convinced that this meets WP:GNG, but the matches in MLS are quickly approaching (August 10, 2019) and it may very soon. I think further consensus needs to be generated on whether or not this article should be kept. Jay eyem (talk) 00:48, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

- Keep In spite of this being a young rivalry I think this is a clear pass, and even for the sake of argument it's not a clear pass, it's borderline and will be a clear pass in less than two weeks when they have their first league derby match. Plenty of WP:GNG coverage already such as FourFourTwo (referenced by the Guardian) and others [46] [47] [48] along with the assumedly non-RS usual US Soccer blogosphere. SportingFlyer T·C 17:46, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

The subject is a niche politician of no real notability. The article contains a great deal of non-verifiable information. A cursory Google search shows no RS validating the information in this article outside of the puff piece in the Mercury News. AlexEng(TALK) 00:45, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

- Keep There is more coverage of her than just the Mercury piece, including this, and I suspect there is lots more out there for such a storied career. It looks as if her activism thing is still going strong at 88 years old; the last time I read about someone similar was Marjory Stoneman Douglas, who today gets more attention and google hits about the shooting in her eponymous school than about her and all her accomplishments. StonyBrook (talk)
- Keep Even based on a cursory look, I seem to see lots of entries on the subject. Also used material from the archive entry from the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library at San José State University as a reference. --Big_iron (talk) 13:21, 26 July 2019 (UTC) Also, I would contend that although the content of her papers in the library at the San José State University would constitute a primary source, the biographical details in the web entry which describes that resource would be extracted from primary sources and hence a reliable secondary source. --Big_iron (talk) 12:06, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
- Delete none of the coverage rises above expected coverage for a city council person and that is not enough to establish notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:36, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. City councillors are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist — San Jose is certainly a large enough city that a well-sourced article about a city councillor might be keepable, but three local newspaper articles and two primary sources is not enough referencing to get her over the bar. I'm certainly willing to reconsider this if somebody can beef the article up with a lot more than just three reliable sources, but being a city councillor is not an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL #2 for an article that's referenced this inadequately. Bearcat (talk) 22:59, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep There are enough sources to write an short accurate informative article about someone with a long record of public service. Verifying that there are enough to do so is the purpose of the notability guideline. Sydney Poore/FloNight♥♥♥♥ 02:18, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - A Google Books search turns up coverage about her in numerous books such as a chapter in Ethnic Community Builders: Mexican-Americans in Search of Justice and Power. Also her work is covered in these books: Success While Others Fail: Social Movement Unionism and the Public Workplace (Cornell U Press); Silicon Valley, Women, and the California Dream: Gender, Class, and Opportunity in the Twentieth Century (Stanford U Press); American Women Leaders. Netherzone (talk) 04:53, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per Netherzone. Having a substantial coverage of a subject in several books (as one can easily check) is proof of notability of the subject. My very best wishes (talk) 21:01, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Although this might come off as ironic, considering I'm infact the creator of the page, but I feel as this fails to meet notability guidelines.

- Redirect to List of Hudson Soft games#Super Famicom/Super NES. Plausible search term, but I wasn't able to find sufficient coverage to establish notability. However, given that this was a mid-nineties, Japan-only release, I wouldn't be hugely surprised if coverage of this does exist in Japanese print media, so no prejudice against recreation if anyone does dig up sources.

Per WP:BEFORE source searching, this subject does not appear to have received an adequate depth of coverage in reliable sources to meet WP:BASIC.

Delete per the reasons given by the others. No independent sources.Changing vote to keep per additions by RebeccaGreen. Rollidan (talk) 01:27, 25 July 2019 (UTC)Hmmmm- I see a two-page long article in this book, and an apparent one-para article here, which appears to be an RS, but I can't read them as they're not accessible online. However, not being accessible online does not dismiss them sustaining notability. Additionally he is one of ~20-30 LDS churchmen to have received emeritus membership of the First Quorum but I'm not sure how big an award that is. I've got to be honest and say that on balance I think sourcing likely exists out there to sustain this guy's notability but, not having read it, I'm not sure how to vote. I guess this doesn't really help anyone but there you go. FOARP (talk) 09:24, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
EDIT: Yeah, keep per User:RebeccaGreen's typically excellent work on this thread. FOARP (talk) 18:56, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I have searched Newspapers.com excluding Utah (just to make sure that the newspapers were not affiliated with the LDS church), and I have added 11 references. Most of the significant coverage is from the Oakland Tribune, although there is also some from newspapers in Texas and Idaho. I have added more information from these sources. Other papers in Nevada, Montana, Idaho and Ohio provide supporting information. The articles date from 1961-1978, and cover periods before that too. I believe that he meets WP:GNG, or at least WP:BASIC: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". I am sorry to come so late to this AfD, but I do wish that editors nominating or !voting on AfDs for people active in pre-internet days would check contemporary news coverage (personally, I think that should be added to the requirements for WP:BEFORE). The sources in an article at the time of nomination are not a valid reason to delete. Perhaps FOARP, and maybe AmericanAir88, would like to have a look at what I've added and see what they think.

- Strong keep I was trying to see if the Encyclopedia of Latter-day Saint history had an artcle on him. I was unable to find my copy. If it does, being published 14 years after his death probably makes it indepdent of him.
