Hi, I propose deletion unless something encyclopedic with references can be added. The software is now part of Siemens PLM and should be rightfully mentioned and cited there as a product. The Siemens PLM page could be further structured to mention take overs from UGS etc. This page is too minimal and since initiation did not improve either and will very unlikely receive a notable content increment.

They seem never to have actually discovered or even developed anything, but have a license to use a patented technology to do so. The article serves mainly to hold links to the notable scientists who have actually worked in this specific area, and to discuss the need for the treatment they hope to eventually commercialize, and to say why the potential treatment would be important if they ever do commercialize it. In other words, this is pure PR DGG ( talk ) 23:30, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

This organization is the first and only research organization with a license to cutting edge biotechnology in the field of curing AIDS. Curing AIDS is a new endeavor. There are a small number of groups in this areas, and this is the only one where it's creators, including myself, decided to move forward on a charitable basis. That is notable not only in the field of curing AIDS, but as a new model for medicine. Practically each sentence is backed by references and citations. If there is anything that is in a PR tone, then that should be corrected. However by disappearing the article, a notable if early-stage effort of significant dimensions will be eliminated. The following statement is taken from guidelines on Wiki about deletion of pages, two such references are provided further below in satisfaction of this requirement to keep pages: "On Wikipedia, the general inclusion threshold is whether the subject is notable enough for at least two people to have written something substantive (more than just a mention) about that subject that has been published in a reliable source."

- You say, "if there is anything that is in a PR tone, then that should be corrected", but that would involve rewriting the whole article. It seems that some editors here are so used to PR-speak that they can't tell the difference between promotional and neutral writing. You also use the phrases "cutting edge" and "early-stage". Wikipedia only covers established knowledge, not the cutting edge at an early stage. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:06, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
The technology I referred to above as "cutting-edge" is established, it is not new. It was invented in 1999. What is new is that it, and years of research results using it, was published for the first time in 2021. The reason I referred to it as cutting-edge is because to me, that term means innovative and significant. Perhaps to you it may mean untested and unknown, but that is not the case. Also, "Early-stage" is a relative term. In 40 years of AIDS, a cure has not been the focus of efforts. In the last few years, it has been, and about a week ago, the FDA approved ots first-ever clinical trials to cure AIDS using a CRISPR based method. All efforts in the field of curing AIDS are early stage. And so what? Does that make then not notable? In fact, it makes them possibly the most significant new advance in this field in decades.

- I think you have chosen the wrong site on which to advertise your research group. Not only do we not accept advertisements (which this is, as can be seen by the incessant dropping of irrelevant names and other promotional techniques used here) but we also don't aspire to cover current, uncompleted, research. I'm sure there are many places that would happily publish your advertisement, but Wikipedia is not one of them. See WP:NOT#PROMOTION and WP:NOR. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:58, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
The inclusion of the Nobel Prize winner who co-founded this organization and the two celebrities who served as founding board members is not name dropping. These people were involved in the organization and are listed similar to how other sites about organizations list people who have wiki pages. If you would like to give me tips about advertising, thank you but I do not need them. Research Foundation to Cure AIDS was formed in 2014 as a 501(c)3 public charity. This page is about the existence of the only public non-for-profit organization, its underlying cutting-edge cell engineering technology, and the people who created it with a mission to develop a cure on a pro bono basis.
KambizShekdar (talk) 17:07, 24 September 2021 (UTC)KambizShekdar
Re my comment above, I meant: This page is about the existence of the only public non-for-profit organization with its own biotechnology (as opposed to a non-profit that raises funds to fund other groups), its underlying cutting-edge cell engineering technology, and the people who created it with a mission to develop a cure on a pro bono basis.
KambizShekdar (talk) 17:09, 24 September 2021 (UTC)KambizShekdar
I have addressed each specific criticism cited and provided evidence why this organization is an established U.S. public entity formed 7 years ago, that it has an unprecedented royalty-free license to a biotechnology in its field, and with notable founders. In my comments here, my use of the term cutting edge and early stage was criticized as PR speak. I explained my use. If any other specific instances are raised for clarification, either in my comments or in the article, that would be helpful so that they may be corrected. The purpose here is to evidence a long-standing public organization that has been the first one to introduce a model to develop a bro bono cell therapy cure. This is in good faith and subjective accusations that it is PR are unfounded.

[[:cat=T Science and technology]]
Is there any way to ensure that editors and commentators with no connection to HIV/AIDS or prior edits to HIV/AIDS related topics are reviewing and adding to this discussion? I ask because there is significant risk or bias here. AIDS activists are highly influential. A coalition of leading AIDS activists adopted the following erroneous statement in favor of PrEP and stigma reduction efforts and opposed to a cure: "we now have the means to end the global and U.S. HIV epidemics, even without a vaccine or a cure, by dramatically reducing new HIV infections and eliminating AIDS deaths." This statement is not valid. AIDS activists are known to control information about HIV/AIDS, including policing what words are used, for instance by advocating that the term "mother-to-daughter transmission" of HIV/AIDS be replaced by "vertical transition," in an effort to reduce stigma. Based on my observations, these efforts to minimize the need for a cure and to change our language are well-intentioned efforts to reduce stigma, however they come at the risk that information about a cure for AIDS are suppressed, by AIDS activists. The group is known to be influential. The page I wrote about an organization working on a cure is at risk of attack. A problem with open-edit platforms like wikipedia is that content can become a matter of political tug-of-war. Therefore, to try to reduce the risk that this is the case here, I am asking if there is a way to engage additional reviewers who are not connected to the topic to review the concerns raised about this page. In my view, any perceived problems with this page should be flagged and corrected, but deletion of information about the existence of an established group focused exclusively on developing a cure should not be deleted due to any risk of agenda-setting by any AIDS activists.
KambizShekdar (talk) 15:50, 25 September 2021 (UTC)KambizShekdar
- I have no such preconceived view on AIDS-related issues and I'm pretty sure that DGG, who is an administrator and former arbitrator here, doesn't either. Just look at our respective editing histories. To assume that anyone who disagrees with you must be doing so for political reasons can only lead people to think that you are the one editing for political reasons rather than just trying to keep promotion out of Wikipedia. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:33, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for sharing about your background, though not necessary. I am not assuming or suggesting that any commentators here have or do not have a connection with AIDS advocacy and I respect your contributions. My concern is that the AIDS patient advocacy space is indeed a heated space, with many AIDS activists publicly taking positions against a cure for AIDS and in support of current, existing drug therapy and prevention strategies, as if this is a this-or-that war. I wanted to make it clear that there is a risk that information about a cure is suppressed. I don't know the inner workings of wiki and how pages are considered for discussion. For my part I will try to improve the article as best I can and attempt to address concerns raised here. In addition, if possible, I think a review of this discussion for input from a greater number of individuals who are not involved at all in the topic of HIV/AIDS would be helpful to try to avoid bias given the heated field.
KambizShekdar (talk) 17:49, 25 September 2021 (UTC)KambizShekdar
Phil Berger - I am not sure why you took my comment personally. In my original statement, I simply said the following to help avoid bias, without suggesting you or anyone posting here is biased, based on the heated nature of this field:
" Is there any way to ensure that editors and commentators with no connection to HIV/AIDS or prior edits to HIV/AIDS related topics are reviewing and adding to this discussion? "
and, after explaining my concern, adding:
" Therefore, to try to reduce the risk that this is the case here, I am asking if there is a way to engage additional reviewers who are not connected to the topic to review the concerns raised about this page. "
Please be assured, I have no idea who you or other commentators on this page are or your backgrounds, and no reason to accuse you of anything. I simply want to ensure that those making the decision on deleting the page are non-interested and non-involed in the HIV/AIDS space.

1) Please see this important passage from Wiki stating that "Disputes over page content are usually not dealt with by deleting the page, except in severe cases." 2) No one has disputed any single statement in the disputed article, the problem cited has been PR tone, and this comment is subjective and disputed. 3) The passage from Wiki below states that issues should be discussed at the relevant talk page, and other methods of dispute resolution should be used first, such as listing on "Wikipedia:Requests for comments" 4) I would like to submit this page to "Wikipedia:Requests for comments" but do not know how to do this. I request the others on this page who are expert editors and who are doing this to ensure accuracy of Wiki pages, to please help and submit the page for addition comments or let me know how I can do this please. Thank you. 5) The passage from Wiki about the extremity of deleting pages says that subject-involved editors can be banned from the Arbitration committee. 6) I have evidenced above how the HIV/AIDS space is a heated space with highly involved advocates, including advocates who have publicly attempted to diminish efforts to cure AIDS. This page relates to an organization and efforts relating to curing AIDS and is at risk of attack. Again, I note that the accuracy of no item on the page has been disputed by anyone, and only subjective accusations have been made. How can we be sure that no one on the Arbitration committee with an interest or involvement in HIV/AIDS advocacy is banned from the decision to ban this page? Below is the passage and link from Wiki re the severity of deleting pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Alternatives_to_deletion passage reads: Disputes over page content are usually not dealt with by deleting the page, except in severe cases. The content issues should be discussed at the relevant talk page, and other methods of dispute resolution should be used first, such as listing on Wikipedia:Requests for comments for further input. Deletion discussions that are really unresolved content disputes may be closed by an uninvolved editor, and referred to the talk page or other appropriate forum. If an article on a notable topic severely fails the verifiability or neutral point of view policies, it may be reduced to a stub, or completely deleted by consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion. The Arbitration Committee has topic-banned editors who have serially created biased articles. KambizShekdar (talk) 19:48, 25 September 2021 (UTC)KambizShekdar |
CORRECTION - In my point #6 above, I meant to end with:

- Delete. This seems to be a blatant WP:COI as well as WP:PROMO. Looking at KambizShekdar's talk page, it's evident that this isn't the first time this article in various forms has been created, and it has been repeatedly refused. This isn't the place for self-promotion or advertising. Tarl N. (discuss) 20:26, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
I successfully submitted wiki requests for comment here, both for "sci" and "style", and both were deleted. This should not be the case. Who deleted these requests?
It will be helpful to have additional reviewers review this page so that a consensus can be reached.

- @KambizShekdar: If you had looked at the history for this page you would have seen that I removed the three
{{RFC}}
templates. At the best of times, using three in the same discussion is two uses too many; but this is an AfD, and the RfC process is not for deletions. The AfD process in use here is, by its very nature, a request for comment - of a specialised kind. I also removed the single instance of{{RFC sci}}
- because it does not exist; and for the same reason, I am removing the two instances of{{RFT}}
above. Please do not try to subvert the AfD process again. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:09, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
My affiliation as Founder of Research Foundation to Cure AIDS is fully disclosed and public and on my username page bio. The identify of any editors and their own involvement in AIDS advocacy is what has not yet been addressed, and the risks of this, as described above.
KambizShekdar (talk) 20:36, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- I did address that, and I was one of only two editors who had disagreed with you at the time that you asked. Please just stop looking at this through a totally unjustified political prism and accept the obvious that your article is written completely promotionally. If you want to know which sentences are promotional then it's sentence one, sentence two, sentence three and so on until the last sentence that you wrote. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:49, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
I was able to figure out how to add requests for comments from sci and style editors to the page. I hope that all can agree that having more editors review the disputed and subjective claim that this article is PR is a healthy thing to do when the purpose here is to reach a consensus. I have stated above how the AIDS advocacy space is heated, including activists who publicly aim to diminish a cure. I am all for improving the article. What I think we should all be for as well, is ensuring that those who are in a position to delete this page have no COI of their own: No one who is involved in or has an interest in HIV/AIDS advocacy should be included as an Arbitrator making a decision about deleting this page. No one has cited one single factual error with any of the content in this page. It should be possible to improve any perceived faults without deleting the page altogther.
KambizShekdar (talk) 20:46, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
Phil - sorry about that - I meant making sure that the "Arbitrators" deciding on whether or not to delete the page are free of COI. No issue on my part what so ever if people hostile to a cure are commenting here - what I think we should all care about is that no one opposed to a cure is making the deletion to delete this page.
Thank you, KambizShekdar (talk) 21:07, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Once again, I am not hostile to a cure. Please don't imply that I am. But I am hostile towards advertisements on Wikipedia. Surely, with your PhD, you have enough intelligence to see that this article is an advertisement from start to finish? Phil Bridger (talk) 21:13, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. WP:ORGSIG. Yes, the topic is significant (AIDS), but that doesn't guarantee that the organization is. I see no significant coverage by 3rd parties. Additionally, perusal of the IRS tax returns shows that the organization does not have any significant activity going on, so there's no hope that this could be made into a notable topic. Form 990 . shows that the organization is spending $10-15,000/year.
The following statement is taken from guidelines on Wiki about deletion of pages: "On Wikipedia, the general inclusion threshold is whether the subject is notable enough for at least two people to have written something substantive (more than just a mention) about that subject that has been published in a reliable source."
The following two newspapers and magazines have reported reported on the subject of the wikipage for "Research Foundation to Cure AIDS," one of them in English and one in French, providing international recognition:
1) In Le Temps: https://www.letemps.ch/sciences/patient-berlin-inspire-nouveaux-traitements-contre-sida 2) Newsday: https://www.newsday.com/news/health/timothy-ray-brown-berlin-patient-focus-of-symposium-at-columbia-university-on-cure-for-hiv-1.10414465
Additionally, Phil, once again, I didn't mean to imply you have any bias re curing AIDS. The only point I am making in this connection is that we should ensure that no person with any interest or involvement in HIV/AIDS advocacy is the person making the decision to delete this page.
Hope that helps, KambizShekdar (talk) 21:21, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
REQUEST FOR HELP FROM EXPERIENCED WIKI USERS:
I am learning more about wiki but still a relative novice. Does anyone know if there is a committee or persons who review for good faith activity in discussions to delete a page? I ask because the most vocal critic here, Phil Bridger, has ended each and every one of his comments with a personal attack or negative statement about me. Also, his main criticism is a subjective one and when asked to provide any more detail so that the article can be fixed, his response is that the faults start with the first sentence and with every sentence after that until the end. I believe that if this page is up for discussion, then the commentators should take care to make their comments in good faith. This does not to me seem to be good faith. Is there a panel or person at Wiki who can review the process used to delete this page here?
Thank you, KambizShekdar (talk) 21:44, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- User:KambizShekdar Please read WP:BLUDGEON and follow the advice there. Thanks. rsjaffe 🗩 🖉 22:02, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Responding (piling on?) here because of a malformed notice at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Wikipedia style and naming following the addition of the RfC template to the article page. This page is like a poorly formatted brochure seeking supporting donations, talking about AIDS in general, the need for treatment, focus by the NIH, etc. But we're not here to attract venture capitalists, and having the page be created by the subject org's founder is blatant and unacceptable WP:COI. Further, the organization doesn't seem to have done much, but, boy, someday... well, we can wait. Fails WP:ORGSIG in that sources are not writing in-depth stories about the foundation. Les Temps includes about 1-1/2 paragraphs (generously measured) on it in the middle of a longer piece about the science; the Newsday source mentions it only in reference to the symposium, with some quotes of Shekdar and another RFTCA worker. It'd be nice if the foundation achieved something, someday, but it hasn't yet (except maybe getting their malformed brochure on our online encyclopedia). — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 22:22, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- I removed it. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:30, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- For the possible benefit of the closer and because KambizShekdar pinged me due to concerns I might !vote without recognizing their flurry of changes on 26 September: I am more convinced than ever that the article should be deleted, for WP:PROMO and the other reasons already mentioned. — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 02:08, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment would seem superfluous at this point. but I think it's necessary to alert the contributor to the fact that even once the article is removed, as it surely will be, this discussion will remain visible indefinitely. When the organization does have an approved product, it will very likely be notable, and I suggest that they use a professional PR agency for their PR; any responsible person in PR will tell them that they should wait for a WP article until someone unaffiliated with the organization writes one. We have quite a few experienced editors who are not likely to miss a notable discovery in this field.
- But I do have a question for him: I'm certainly aware of activists who want to ensue that we continue and improve and make more available existing methods for prevention and treatment of AIDS in the interval before a cure or vaccine is available. I am not aware of anyone who suggests that trying to find a cure is undesirable., rather than merely unlikely in the immediate future. So what are you referring to? It would be good to get some actual information out of this discussion. DGG ( talk ) 23:36, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
Without repeating the full context which is provided above, I note that:
1) no one has addressed my simple question about whether and how we can ensure that the person or persons who ultimately decide to delete this page have no conflict of interest in this space and no interest in HIV/AIDS advocacy;
2) no one has disputed a single statements made in the wiki page for Research Foundatino to Cure AIDS;
3) the subjective critism of PR tone are disputed;
4) Wiki guidelines say that deletion of a page is done only in extreme situations, providing several alternative measures, one of these is to invite additional requests for comments by others, but when I tagged and inserted wiki requests for comment for "style" and "science" categories inviting such comment, these tags were deleted;
4) While Wiki guidelines provided above say that pages are only deleted in severe instance and suggest a number of alternative methods to improve a page, including inviting others to review and comment, my attempt to engage additional users was deleted and no other attempts have been made here.
I realize that a fault with open edit platforms like wiki is that they can become political tug-of-wars and a human numbers game. I hope that this message reachers expert wiki users who may help to improve the article instead of the massive effort we are seeing to delete the page based on subjective and disputed criticisms.
Thank you, Kambiz KambizShekdar (talk) 00:08, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- Please stop with the political intrigues and conspiracy theories and try to WP:AGF. If anyone here has a conflict of interest, it is you, the person who founded the organization about which you then wrote this article. When you are concerned that someone here may have an
interest in HIV/AIDS advocacy
with the implication that it will affect the outcome of the deletion discussion, then you are suggesting that some Wikipedia editor(s) don't want HIV/AIDS to be treated/cured/improved. And that, sir is rubbish. — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 00:16, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
I asked a simple question - I still see no response to it from anyone:
Is there any process to ensure that the person or persons who ultimately decide to delete this page have no conflict of interest in this space and no interest in HIV/AIDS advocacy. Please see above.

- We know that at least one person in this discussion has a conflict of interest - you. As for the rest, the principle is that enough people look at AFDs that it's unlikely they ALL have a COI, and those who do will be obvious. There is no single arbiter who makes a decision, on wiki we work based on consensus - which does not require unanimity. So far, among the three people who have added a specific "!vote" (specialized wiki terminology), there happens to be unanimity.
- I will mention a concern you need to address; your own access to Wikipedia. You have been consistently violating standards of conduct in this discussion, which puts you at risk of being blocked. In the discussion above, numerous wikipedia policies and essays have been pointed out to you, notable among them: WP:AGF, WP:COI, WP:PROMO, WP:BLUDGEON, WP:WALLOFTEXT, WP:ORGSIG, WP:NOR. Take them time to read them all. In addition, read WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA because I've seen indications that you are heading in that direction - which will be an even more direct path to getting blocked. Also please read WP:TALK, guidelines on how to use a talk page, you've already repeatedly violated those on this page. Tarl N. (discuss) 02:11, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

MAJOR CHANGES MADE TO THE ARTICLE in response to the criticism of PR tone, the article is **now** cut by half by myself and I noticed at least one other editor.KambizShekdar (talk) 13:33, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
I added several more citations, either focused on the foundation that is the subject of the page or on its underlying technology, including the following, as well as the piece authored by myself published by the MIT public-interest science publication Undark:

https://www.biophysics.org/profiles/kambiz-shekdar
https://undark.org/2019/02/21/trump-pledge-to-end-hiv/
Additional citations were added too. Please let me know if any of the statements need any further substantiation and if the criticism of PR tone has by now been addressed. Thank you KambizShekdar (talk) 15:32, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
discuss User Tarl N., you said that three people have already voted to delete this page, but this was before the changes and additions above. Will these changes and additions be considered in case they do indeed improve the article and address the criticism of PR tone? Also, is it possible for me to cast a vote? If yes, how do I cast a vote? Thanks, KambizShekdar (talk) 16:14, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- Dr. Shekdar, the job of the closer is to assess what consensus, if any, has been reached in this discussion. You have made your position very clear, so it should not be necessary, but if you wish to make it even clearer you can prefix one of your comments with '''Keep''', which will put your opinion in bold. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:29, 26 September 2021 (UTC) User:Phil Bridger thanks for that tip. I'll try to add that Prefix. Also, do you know who the closer ultimately deciding about deleting the page is here if that is publicly available information?
Thanks KambizShekdar (talk) 16:48, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- The closer could be anyone who has not taken part in this discussion, and usually happens when a discussion has been open for at least a week. When a discussion is at all contentious then it is usually recommended that the closer should be an administrator. If the close goes against the consensus reached here it can be appealed at WP:DRV.

Of note, RFTCA's work is not limited to its science and technology. RFTCA, the subject organization of the page proposed for deletion, has also made significant contributions to help prioritize the development of a broadly-applicable cure as part of the US national effort, as now noted on the page. I wanted to comment on this as someone spoke about the organizations accomplishments to date and helping to achieve high-level national support for a cure is a significant and noteworthy achievement in and of itself. KambizShekdar (talk) 19:02, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Yes, you have greatly clarified what the foundation does; but in doing so, you have demonstrated that it is not notable. The two patients mentioned were cured of Aids through bone marrow transplants, but the transplants were administered to cure other diseases, and the work of the foundation had nothing directly to do with them--except that their cure indicated a direction for further directly relevant scientific work to follow, work which the foundation supports. (They are not the only organization working along these lines) . The efforts of the foundation have not led to any actual therapy so far, but rather are based upon promoting a patented technology developed entirely independently of the foundation and long before it was even started, but assigned to the foundation by its very notable inventor. Many organizations advocate finding a cure for AIDS, and it is true that this cause has been somewhat sidetracked in public visibility by the Covid pandemic. All the specific work that the foundation has done, besides accepting a gift and applying for a grant, has been 1. a discussion with Bernie Saunders in which he supported finding a cure for AIDS, 2. Hosting an advocacy symposium to promote the search for a cure, and 3, sponsored an afterparty at the NYC Village Halloween Parade. (all 3 supported by very weak sources, and I think there are better--but no source could make any of these 3 significant ) . In other words, the foundation has done nothing noteworthy so far. The only reason they might have for an article here is a desire to promote their work. I did make a mistake in listing this for AfD. I should have listed it for speedy deletion it as G11, entirely promotional. (or even deleted it myself, but I think it's generally better to ask another admin to confirm) Possibly I was impressed by the famous names, and didn't realize how little they had to do with any actual work of the foundation. DGG ( talk ) 01:35, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
Every single group that is working to develop a cure for AIDS is most highly notable. 18 months of COVID and we have multiple vaccines. 40 years of AIDS and the disease festers. The deletion of even the existence of a wiki page for a public US 501(c)3 charity with biotechnology in this space would be a mistake and an abuse of the wiki process. KambizShekdar (talk) 05:04, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- You seem to be saying we have to keep the page about your noble-minded foundation for moral or health reasons, because otherwise, cures might not be found (or found as fast). Am I reading you right? But here's what you seem to be missing: we are an encyclopedia, not an organization intent on fostering biotechnological advances. And your RFTCA is a research foundation, not an encyclopedia. The
abuse of the wiki process
is IMO you trying to preserve an article about a non-notable organization (in part by badgering the participants here). Let the wiki process play out, and when the RFTCA has results and attention which do qualify it for inclusion here, somebody (else!) will be sure to write an article about it. — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 06:22, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

- Weak keep. I'm getting a lot of hits in my university library search. As a blog it's unusual in that peer reviewed journal articles and main stream media have quoted it as a source of information in a large number of publications since it began in 2000. What makes finding significant coverage difficult is that it is widely cited; so news, google books, scholarly publications, etc. that use it as a source are going to come up in large numbers to the point that it drowns out any coverage where Neowin is the main subject. To my mind, this indicates that it's a notable; simply because a blog rarely gets elevated to this degree within media and academia. 4meter4 (talk) 22:43, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

The article states itself: "This was a platted town that was supposed to bring tourists and visitors to northern Florida. Only a couple of houses remain.

No amenities at this spot in the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, at the end of a very long dirt road."

The show does not pass WP:GNG or WP:WEB. Neither of the previous deletion discussions provide reliable secondary sources with in depth coverage of the topic. All the previous arguments to keep the article pretty clearly fall under one of various WP:ATA. Practically nothing links to the article and considering that there were multiple hosts there is not a clear redirect target. It's worth noting that some of the hosts and guests of the show might be notable, but the show does not WP:INHERIT that notability. The show also doesn't appear to have won an award. Searching Google News, Google News Archives, Google Books, Google Scholar, and Newspapers.com yeild only passing mentions that only demonstrate that WP:ITEXISTS. The only source I could find is this book called Smarter, Faster, Cheaper. The Wikipedia page claims the show was in the 2006 print edition of Wired, but it's not even cited and even if it was a really good source I'm not sure it would really demonstrate WP:N. If someone has access to that source and it's just a passing mention it would make the decision to delete even clearer. TipsyElephant (talk) 17:54, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Non notable physician , still an Assistant professor, with scientific papers that do not meet WP:PROF (citations: 59, 49, 32). The firm where he's a medical director is non-notable , the only public position he's ever had is being on the board of directors of the family foundation of his spouse's family. He is reported to advise his father in law, but has no official position and I do not see how he would be qualified for one. The need for some content has driven the article to include that he "attended the official kickoff at the University of Pennsylvania"
I accept that we usually include the immediate family of a head of state, because there is usually enough public interest (though we have only about 2/3 of the children of US Presidents--see List_of_children_of_the_presidents_of_the_United_States --we have deleted the articles on Obama's children and on Barron Trump. But Krein is not even the child of a head of state, but the spouse of the child of a Head of State, and therefore not part of the immediate family--not a biological relation at all. Any coverage not just a mention in an article about his wife's father, would thus be human interest tabloid style coverage, and that's not he purpose of an encyclopedia.

- Keep. Wikipedia does a piss-poor job of covering both politics and knowledge workers. The nominator's comments set out his personal opinions as to why the subject should not be notable, but do exactly nothing to weigh and analyze the actual coverage the subject has received, which is extensive and substantial. And when I see the comment that Krein "has no official position and I do not see how he would be qualified for one," I wonder where the nominator has been for the last few years and mutter names like "Jared" and "Lara" under my breath while suppressing guffaws.

- Keep. Family mebers of heads of state are notable figures. Also Krein is a noted entrepreneur and famous physician in his hospital and area. He is frequently mentioned in Joe Biden's own books as a key figure in the family who Joe would often go to for advice. and frankly relatives of presidential figures are notable by being related. if Valerie Biden Owens has an article then Howard Krein should have article as well.
- Comment The above comment in its rationale is textbook violation of WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. -Indy beetle (talk) 03:02, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. No indication of notability at all; closest claim is being a twice-removed family member from Joe Biden. I disagree with the assertion that family members of heads of state are inherently notable; that flies in the face of WP:NOTINHERITED. TJRC (talk) 19:36, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep based on GNG, while generally WP:NOTINHERITED applies, there is enough independent coverage with him as subject to pass GNG: [1] [2] [3] including specific discussions about conflicts of interest: [4]. This is not a case of WP:NOTINHERITED but there is clearly independent discussion about him and his political role in the media. --hroest 09:16, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:GNG. ABC News, Haaretz, The Hill, and Politico all have articles that provide significant coverage about him (the focus is not Joe Biden). There seems to be much misunderstanding of what WP:NOTINHERETED means. Part of that guidance page reads Individuals in close, personal relationships with famous people (including politicians) can have an independent article even if they are known solely for such a relationship, but only if they pass WP:GNG. This articles does pass GNG, though some of the press releases and gossip column whatnot ought to be purged. -Indy beetle (talk) 03:10, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Merge/ Redirect to Family of Joe Biden. Clearly an example WP:NOTINHERITED.4meter4 (talk) 04:26, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Looking again at the references, almost none of them would have covered him except for the relationship. The contents ofthe articles also discusses him in those terms--why else would the details of his wedding possibly be included? Coverage of people for their relationship rather than their accomplishments is what's meant by NOT TABLOID, and that is part of the fundamental inclusion policy,WP:NOT.

- Delete per DGG's excellent reasoning above. Maybe a redirect to Family of Joe Biden, but there's no meaningful content here to work with.

- Keep per GNG. This was listed in the wrong place by arguing about NACADEMIC instead of GNG. See comments by hroest and others. I also think this should not have been re-listed when there was enough to close this AfD as "no consensus" or "keep". Keeping the red banner up for longer only does more harm than good. Dr. Universe (talk) 00:21, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. As Indy beetle pointed out above, WP:NOTINHERITED says Individuals in close, personal relationships with famous people (including politicians) can have an independent article even if they are known solely for such a relationship, but only if they pass WP:GNG. So we need to assess whether Klein meets GNG. With there being 23 sources cited in the article, I do wonder how many reviewers get to their tenth duff citation and assume that the others are probably just as bad and therefore GNG is not met. In this case, just two or three qualify as in-depth, independent coverage by a reliable source - see my assessment of all 23 at Talk:Howard Krein#Notability assessment. Therefore, I would say that the WP:BASIC threshold has been passed. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 18:01, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:GNG and per User:Curb Safe Charmer's careful source assessment. Looking at the sources (particularly the ones assessed as in-depth and independent) confirmed CSC's assessment for me.

They are references to a series of printed books, Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae, a "multi-volume dictionary which chronicles the succession of ministers in Scotland since the Protestant Reformation of 1560". This page verifies that he held the position. Receiving an honorary doctorate is a strong indication of notability.

- Comment (edit conflict): Taylor is included in sources such as British History Online so the basics of his inclusion are verifiable. Perhaps the nomination is querying whether the position of Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland is inherently notable? I am not sure whether this has been queried before but I am not seeing any de-linked names at List of Moderators of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland so I don't think there is past precedent for deciding it non-notable. AllyD (talk) 19:01, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment There are no de-linked names at that list because there has been a concerted effort to create articles for each person on the basis that that position alone makes them notable.

Also, as a tip for the nominator, I highly suggest that you do more of a WP:BEFORE search than just looking at coordinates. For example, the coordinates for Chatham, Florida point to the middle of a swamp, but a search on newspapers.com shows that it is a notable place with a rich history.

The result was no consensus. There is obviously WP:SIGCOV of specific cases of footballers' contracts, but there is no agreement on whether these suffice as significant coverage of the topic as a whole. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:48, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: It seems extremely likely based on a cursory search that sports player contracts, and possibly football specifically, are a notable subject. (See eg. [6][7].) Is there an article you would consider a suitable merge target until there is enough content for this article not to be a stub? It could make sense to tie this in to a broader topic where it could be cultivated or whatever rather than leaving it languishing on its own, but absent an obvious merge target, it should be kept. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:07, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Roscelese:I looked for an article on sports contracts generally and did not see one. Nor did I see articles on baseball contracts, gridiron football contracts, basketball contracts, etc. I would think an article on Sports Contracts would be notable, but a separate article for each sport would seem excessive to me. --dashiellx (talk) 12:25, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep - this is clearly a notable topic and definitely a plausible search term so should be improved rather than outright deleted. Whether this should be merged into a more general sports contracts article is something we should do on the talk page. This article could be expanded to include many key cases such as Bosman ruling, Herbert Kingaby, George Eastham, Carlos Tevez as well as commentary on the progression of caps on players' salaries and other restrictions on contracts. Not sure how reliable these sources are but they definitely discuss this topic in detail Spartacus Sporting Intel EFL Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 10:46, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV. Why are the keep voters ignoring notability policy in this discussion? GNG has not been proven. There's not significant independent coverage on this topic. The only independent reliable ref I could find was [8] and it's a passing mention. Nothing in PROQUEST, JSTOR, EBSCOE, nothing in my university library, nothing of note in newspapers, etc. All of the sources Spiderone cited have issues. spartacus-educational.com is self published. https://www.sportingintelligence.com/about-us/ accepts and publishes content from anyone (not professional journalists or experts); and www.efl.com is the news arm of a professional sporting body that uses these contracts and so it lacks independence even if its reliable. All of this to say, yes this exists but we still have to prove GNG. Note to closer please consider the lack of policy based reasoning in the keep votes.4meter4 (talk) 04:00, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. With the exception of Spiderone (talk · contribs), none of the above keep votes offer any policy based reason for their claims of notability.

There's stand-alone article coverage from multiple RS (not just mentions): The Bay Area Reporter, which calls them "groundbreaking" here; the Los Angeles Times, which stated they were at the "forefront of gay-oriented music" here; The Advocate here; and the Dallas Observer, which stated the act had been together 14 years as of 1996 here. They received a Heritage Award from Outmusic in 2003 (ref here); their CD Brave Boys was a best seller according to The Advocate (refs here and here).

Should be redirected to Kølig Kaj. I was unable to locate any reviews, in English or Danish, which would meet independent notability for this article. Further, as currently written this article is currently completely uncited and likely contains original research (sample language indicating OR: "It is quite a normal type of rap album for its day").

- Redirect (with optional merge a little of the content if it is verifiable). The sources here are not good enough and notability is not close to being demonstrated. My first thought was to see if there was a Danish article with more details and better sourcing on it, but there isn't one at all. The Google searches don't look promising. Admittedly it is in a language that I don't understand and also it is a common phrase that turns up in other contexts but even if you add the artist's name to the search it isn't showing significant RS coverage. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:18, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Does not pass WP:GNG. The Wired article contains less than one hundred words of content dedicated to the subject. The Twin City Live source is a permanently dead video with less written prose than the Wired article. The Star Tribune article is mostly WP:INTERVIEW material and is therefore a primary source. Searching for sources that aren’t already being cited yields trivial mentions from NBC News, BusinessInsider (WP:BI), and Space.com but there are no in-depth sources that would demonstrate WP:SIGCOV or even provide useful information for writing an Encyclopedia article without WP:ORIGINAL research. The Space Frontier source says that the subject received the “2010 Best Presentation of Space Award”. The Space Frontier Foundation does have a Wikipedia page, but it only contains bare URLs to sources that, at a glance, don’t appear to demonstrate WP:N. I don’t think this article would qualify for WP:WEBCRIT despite the award, but either way WEBCRIT states that “In almost all cases, a thorough search for independent, third-party reliable sources will be successful for content meeting one or both of these criteria,” and I’m not seeing independent and reliable secondary sources that demonstrate notability. Jami Higginbotham, Cariann Higginbotham, Jared Head, and Ryan Caton don't have Wikipedia articles so there isn't really a place to merge the content. It's also worth noting that even if the hosts or guests were notable this show doesn't WP:INHERIT that notability. If someone is able to scrounge up some sources or if the award is notable enough to save the article it needs some cleanup considering only two out of the fifteen paragraphs in the body of the article even contain references.
I previously nominated this for deletion here, but there was WP:NOQUORUM and no prejudice against a speedy renomination. I also forgot to include in the previous nomination the fact that there is an article dedicated to a List of TMRO Space episodes, which should probably be deleted alongside this article.

- Keep Based on the sources in the article, this seems to pass the WP:GNG - this is clearly significant coverage in reliable sources. The article could be improved, of course, but it seems relatively non-promotional and certainly notable to me. Ganesha811 (talk) 19:34, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
- Butthe rule for business firms is no longer the very weak GNG but WP:NCORP, which excludes articles whose referencing only covers acquisitions and funding. It was intended to removejust this type of article. DGG ( talk ) 02:13, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Except the coverage we have for this subject isn't limited to "acquisitions and funding". And the idea - clearly - is to require more substantive coverage than word-for-word reprints of press releases and mundane coverage of statutory announcements and statements that every company is required to make. That a company makes an announcement that then receives significant coverage in reliable sources, does not make that coverage routine, nor does it make that coverage not independent, nor does it make that coverage inappropriate for the purposes of WP:CORPDEPTH. But beyond all that, WP:NCORP isn't a "rule", and it doesn't supersede WP:GNG. Some people would like it to, but GNG is our baseline notability threshold. "It passes WP:GNG" is a perfectly valid argument. You're absolutely free to argue that the community should apply WP:NCORP instead (or ahead), of course. St★lwart111 09:27, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Except "significant coverage in reliable sources" is only half of the requirement, it must also contain "Independent Content" as per WP:ORGIND and when you strip out the information provided by the company and connected people, what's left says nothing. And when you say NCORP isn't a "rule" ... well neither is GNG, they're both guidelines with the same standing, GNG may be the "default" in the absence of a guideline for a specialty topic but even if you want to go down that road, there's the WP:SNG section found in GNG which explicitly explains why speciality guidelines exist in the first place and it doesn't say "Ignore them if you don't like them". They are just as much a part of our community-driven consensus-derived process and GNG. So if you're one of the NCORP haters and want to return to only having to refer to GNG, you'll also have to ignore that part of GNG which explicity mentions the
strict significant coverage requirements spelled out in the SNG for organizations and companies.
And for sure "It passes GNG" is a valid argument at AfD and has been used to great effect by a certain cabal of "Keep" !voters, but if you check their AfD stats you'll start to see their !voting stats are very poor - that is the company you will be keeping. While it is up to each closer to decide on which arguments to include, the least we (the experienced editors who are trying to improve the project) can do here is make sure we're arguing honestly with the guidelines in mind. If you don't like the NCORP guidelines - and it is clear you don't - then argue for change rather than pollute AfD with deliberate and disruptive avoidance of NCORP. HighKing++ 21:41, 19 September 2021 (UTC)- Of course its independent; they didn't interview themselves. And arguments as to deletionist cabals running Wikipedia should be taken with a bucket of salt. We've seen attempts to apply WP:NCORP to all sorts of things of late (including sporting teams and geographic locations). That doesn't make it sensible. St★lwart111 05:17, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Except "significant coverage in reliable sources" is only half of the requirement, it must also contain "Independent Content" as per WP:ORGIND and when you strip out the information provided by the company and connected people, what's left says nothing. And when you say NCORP isn't a "rule" ... well neither is GNG, they're both guidelines with the same standing, GNG may be the "default" in the absence of a guideline for a specialty topic but even if you want to go down that road, there's the WP:SNG section found in GNG which explicitly explains why speciality guidelines exist in the first place and it doesn't say "Ignore them if you don't like them". They are just as much a part of our community-driven consensus-derived process and GNG. So if you're one of the NCORP haters and want to return to only having to refer to GNG, you'll also have to ignore that part of GNG which explicity mentions the
- Except the coverage we have for this subject isn't limited to "acquisitions and funding". And the idea - clearly - is to require more substantive coverage than word-for-word reprints of press releases and mundane coverage of statutory announcements and statements that every company is required to make. That a company makes an announcement that then receives significant coverage in reliable sources, does not make that coverage routine, nor does it make that coverage not independent, nor does it make that coverage inappropriate for the purposes of WP:CORPDEPTH. But beyond all that, WP:NCORP isn't a "rule", and it doesn't supersede WP:GNG. Some people would like it to, but GNG is our baseline notability threshold. "It passes WP:GNG" is a perfectly valid argument. You're absolutely free to argue that the community should apply WP:NCORP instead (or ahead), of course. St★lwart111 09:27, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Butthe rule for business firms is no longer the very weak GNG but WP:NCORP, which excludes articles whose referencing only covers acquisitions and funding. It was intended to removejust this type of article. DGG ( talk ) 02:13, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep per commentary above and the extensive coverage available online (which is exactly what you would expect for a company with 10,000+ employees). The fact that executives of the company are are asked for their opinion of subjects completely unrelated to the company's primary business (like here in CIO (magazine)) suggests the company is notable among non-industry peers. Ironically, I think it probably passes WP:NCORP anyway, but it certainly passes WP:GNG. St★lwart111 09:27, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Nonsense. You've gone off the rails if you think a circular argument of "Oh, that company must be notable because their company executive was interviewed in a magazine because they surely only asked that executive's opinion because the company is notable". HighKing++ 21:32, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- No, the basis of our notability guidelines (all of them) is that something has been the subject of note by people beyond Wikipedia. All of our guidelines are different variations of tools to assess the extent of that note. Those that are not the subject of significant coverage in multiple independent sources are generally considered to have gone unnoticed, or to have made a contribution to their field that isn't worthy of note. As such, when something tries to promote itself, it isn't worthy of note, and hasn't been noticed by others; it has drawn attention to itself. When someone independent seeks information about a subject (even when they ask someone connected to the subject, because how else are they going to be sure the information is accurate?) they have taken note of the subject. We, in turn, reference a subject having received "significant coverage"; that is, the notice the subject has received is genuine and specific, and not just a passing glance (like when something is listed along with a bunch of other similar things or receives incidental routine coverage). When someone interviews someone about something (a perfectly normal journalistic practice, in fact, the very basis of modern journalistic practice) they are giving note to that something and have spent their own time and effort (independent of the subject) to find out more about that subject. The fact that they chose to ask an expert on that subject does not make them no longer independent, does not make the person they interviewed the "source" (which remains the journalist and publication), and does not make the coverage promotional. St★lwart111 05:17, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and if any of the Keep !voters want to point out which specific parts of those articles contains "Independent Content" I'm happy to review.

I prodded this with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (books) supplement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." (I'll add that I see snippets in an anthology or two introducing this, possibly written by the anthology or magazine editors that can be a bit independent, but I cannot confirm there is any WP:SIGCOV). It was deprodded with no useful rationale, so let's discuss this here. Can anyone find anything to save this?

- Keep, based on citation record this passes WP:NPROF#C1.--Eostrix (🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 11:32, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. As Eostrix says, his h-index on Scholar is given as 46, or 24 for publications since 2016; Scopus gives it as 33. We'd need some informed input on whether this is high or low for his field; he does not have a named chair or (it seems) any notable award, so this is I think the only way he could pass WP:NPROF. For the moment I'm doubtful. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:48, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. I can look over his coauthors and calculate my usual Scopus metrics, but since the subject publishes in a broad array of fields (seemingly algorithmic approaches to bioinformatics/mathematical epidemiology, environmental science, systems engineering, op research, etc.) it will be difficult to assess relative impact as compared to others in his discipline. My hunch his that he is above the median in general, but we'll see how it pans out. JoelleJay (talk) 18:32, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep leaning due to large scholarly output, 17 papers with 100+ citations are usually enough for WP:NPROF#1 and h-index of 46. However I dont see a single clear contribution but rather many contributions over many years. --hroest 21:41, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. Most of his early papers are in parameterized complexity and in particular his "Nonconstructive tools for proving polynomial-time decidability" is a classic, one of the papers that founded this area. His later work appears to have shifted to computational biology, a different subject, and while it includes his top-cited paper it's also a higher-citation field (and the top-cited one is with many coauthors), so I think the parameterized complexity work is more significant. (This is all my personal evaluation; we can't say anything like that in the article itself without a published source.) I think we can call this a pass of WP:PROF#C1 not merely on numeric grounds, but on the basis of a focused and significant contribution to an important subject. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:10, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- thanks for your analysis, it would be great if some of that could flow into the article, at least the "Nonconstructive tools for proving polynomial-time decidability" paper should be listed. In computational biology I would classify his impact as less transformative (even though his papers are more highly cited). --hroest 18:58, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Ok, I added a couple book sources for the significance of this work. One of them lists this work as being spread over five papers, so I'm not sure citing just the one would be best; anyway, secondary sources are better than primary. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:05, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. His Scopus metrics are still tough to compare since there are so many coauthors in pure medicine with billions of citations, but even including them in the analysis of his latest ~55 papers (~120 coauthors) he's a fair amount above the median across the board and above average in h-index, so I think that gives him a C1 pass. Incidentally, it's always amusing to run across very famous people hanging out among someone's coauthors; apparently Langston wrote a minor conference paper in 2011 with what seems to be three grad students (at the time) and Peter Shor.

- Delete, or possibly Redirect to Large Professor. It does not matter that the article is still being worked on. Sending it to draft would be a dead end because it would not pass the process of graduating to the live Wikipedia. This rapper's only reliable media coverage comes from backing Large Professor on a single song. He has a few of his own releases and guest appearances on material by a few other rappers, but those have received no coverage beyond his own social media accounts, some unreliable blog-like interviews, and the usual retail services. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 23:37, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. I found some quality RS which could be used toward meeting MUSICBIO and SIGCOV. More importantly, one only has to look at Billboard for the months of August, September, and October 1999 to see that he had a charting single on a national music chart for 10 weeks which means he clearly passes criteria 2 of WP:MUSICBIO.4meter4 (talk) 19:02, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: I did some digging and found out that he appeared in the Unsigned Hype column of The Source in 1998, and he released the single (not the album) "Exotic's Raw" that year ("Unsigned Hype". The Source. 103. April 1998.) However, aside from the Muzik article, that's the only reliable source of independent notability that can be found on him — his 1999 Billboard chart appearance was as a featured guest on a Large Professor single, and his name doesn't even appear in the credits of Main Source's 1992 Billboard chart appearance. Blackjays1 (talk) 07:14, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Um... @Blackjays1 His name is on the chart repeatedly for 10 weeks. I looked directly at the Billboard charts in PROQUEST, so I don't possibly see how you can claim he was not credited on the chart. Both Billboard citations above have his name on the chart for anyone to see (I could provide more examples, but I thought two were sufficient). Your claim that he doesn't appear on the chart is just flat out not true. And he gets even billing on the chart with Large Professor with their names right next to each other. If it weren't a copyright violation I would upload PDFs of the documents to prove it. 4meter4 (talk) 15:45, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

- Please re-read my comment. I didn't dispute that he appeared on the Billboard charts in 1999 (alongside Large Professor). I did dispute that he appeared on the charts in 1992 (as he made an uncredited guest appearance on Main Source's single "Fakin' the Funk", which he's most known for). Simply put, he hasn't done enough in his career (independent from a Large Professor single and a Main Source single) to attain notability. Blackjays1 (talk) 18:08, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. This is very heavily advertorialized, and cites no reliable sources to actually support the content. And while the International Franz Liszt Piano Competition would probably be enough to pass WP:NMUSIC #9 ("major music competition") if the article were written and sourced properly, it isn't so highly meganotable that the need to keep articles about its winners would override the need to write and source their articles properly. And I'm also willing to reconsider if somebody with access to different databases than I've got can find much better sources to repair it with than I've been able to (e.g. media from the Netherlands, given that the notability claim is a Dutch music competition?) — but I haven't been able to find any useful new references with the tools available to me, and even the interlanged versions in French and Russian and Arabic aren't citing any useful sources either.

The result was redirect to List of efforts to impeach presidents of the United States#Joe Biden. After one discounts the pure votes and the IP, who also makes no coherent argument, rough consensus s that this is not yet a notable topic because attempts to impeach presidents are now apparently somewhat routine political news.

A re-creation with the only added information being further WP:NOTNEWS coverage about the latest attempt. This is already covered to sufficient encyclopedic depth (i.e. as a "summary of knowledge" and not a "everything that's in the news about the topic") at the redirect target (where the most recent information actually is also already included). So suggest redirect as last time to List_of_efforts_to_impeach_presidents_of_the_United_States#Joe_Biden. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 02:55, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. We have one question to answer here. Are efforts to impeach Joe Biden covered by reliable sources? The answer is yes. Therefore, the subject meets the WP:GNG. Unlike the previous time this question was asked, there are now multiple efforts on record, with multiple lawmakers signed on. This is not a WP:NOTNEWS issue, as it is an historical fact that will remain in the Congressional Record long after the news cycles have faded. BD2412 T 03:04, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- There are a lot of things that will remain in Congressional Records long after the fact that don't warrant an encyclopedic article (and not just because the Congressional Record is a primary source). If the only outbursts of coverage this gets is brief bursts in the news each time somebody decides they want to get in the news, and nothing comes out of it, and the coverage does not subsist (WP:NTEMPORARY), then this is indeed WP:NOTNEWS covered to an unencyclopedic level of depth and should be redirected to avoid duplication of the page where it is covered at an appropriate level. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 03:08, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Something having multiple sources also does not indicate it requires a standalone article. One could reasonably find multiple sources for every subsection of Johann Sebastian Bach - does not mean that it would be productive to have a separate over-detailed article for each - WP:SUMMARY applies, and in this case, the proper way is to have a brief section at the most relevant article.

- Merge into the various sub-articles where they could be included under WP:DUEWEIGHT. For instance, Efforts to impeach Joe Biden#September 2021 articles of impeachment could be merged into Withdrawal of United States troops from Afghanistan (2020–2021)#Domestic. While the individual elements of this "list" might be worth including in the relevant articles, none of them have proven enduring enough to warrant their own article (WP:NOTNEWS), while covering the group as a whole without the grouping having received its own significant coverage would seem to violate the spirit of NOTNEWS, while also requiring some level of synth.

Redirect the article can be split out when it actually happens. We should also respect the WP:CONSENSUS from the previous AfdLightburst (talk) 19:40, 23 September 2021 (UTC)- @Lightburst: - "when it actually happens" - when what actually happens? The title of the article is efforts to impeach. Efforts have actually happened. Consensus that actual impeachment is not required was set when Efforts to impeach George W. Bush and Efforts to impeach Barack Obama were kept (and Efforts to impeach Donald Trump was kept well before any actual impeachment votes occurred. Is there something about Joe Biden that protects him from being treated the same as previous presidents? BD2412 T 21:48, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Mlb96 (talk) 02:34, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- The only nonsense here is the personal attack in your comment. NOTNEWS is about just "mundane events"; it's also about events which attract no lasting coverage (something also covered by WP:NTEMPORARY): "2. News reports.

- @Goldsztajn: What has changed since the previous discussion is Efforts to impeach Joe Biden#September 2021 articles of impeachment. In fact, several of the "delete" !votes from the previous deletion discussion specifically note that at that time there was only one effort underway, sponsored by a single fringe member of Congress, which makes a separate effort by four different and more conventional party members a substantial change. In fact, a third impeachment effort has since been launched and received coverage in reliable sources, so this has quickly piled up to more than is convenient to keep in the general impeachment article. BD2412 T 04:08, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- "More than is convenient"? You just write a proper encyclopedic summary (I'm making this up as example): "Articles of impeachment were filed by [x] in 2020 over [reason A]. The were followed by [y], who filed articles in 2021 over [B]. Both of these did not result in any action, and were dismissed as [political posturing/whatever]". Absolutely does not require a dedicated page to itself if it can probably be covered in one or at most two paragraphs. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 05:39, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- "Efforts" to impeach are not limited to documents filed by members of Congress, otherwise the articles in this series would be titled something like "Articles of impeachment filed against" each President, and would omit things like polls, protests, and municipal government votes conveying requests to local Congressmen that articles of impeachment be filed. In this case, there is already substantial reliably sourced discussion of the issue which if removed would deprive the actual articles filed of vital context. BD2412 T 05:46, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

- BD2412 Far too much conflation of news with notability. It's not about quantitative numbers (that would be List of Republican party attempts to impeach US Presidents or List of Democratic party attempts to impeach US Presidents), but whether there is an enduring notability. Republicans, for the purposes of broader short-term political strategy, have clearly adopted impeachment as a tactic rather than a goal, diminishing its historical significance and specific notability in a case-by-case basis. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 05:42, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- Whether tactical or not, the coverage meets the WP:GNG. The futility or political calculatedness of the efforts does not matter any more than that of astroturfing support for the Jo Jorgensen 2020 presidential campaign (which we nonetheless cover), or the January 2018 United States federal government shutdown, or the 2021 Maricopa County presidential ballot audit (the article for which I also created). In a hundred years, this will still be a notable historical topic. BD2412 T 05:51, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- Given that this went out of the news cycle about as quickly as it went in, it's more likely this will be but a footnote in history. But anyway, WP:CRYSTAL predictions of what this will be are not reliable indicators whether this is encyclopedic or not (first but certainly not least because, obviously; they go both ways). Given there's no currently demonstrated long-term significance, and all of the coverage is limited to two very specific events, the argument that this doesn't warrant an article all by itself and should instead be discussed to sufficient depth at the redirect target is even more convincing. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 02:17, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- Strictly speaking, it is now three specific events (though the two September filings can easily be grouped together given the common subject matter). The January filing has been discussed again in the context of the September filings, so that one his now demonstrated a longer-term significance than the news cycle in which it occurred.

Delete - I wish GNIS wasn't down, so I could figure out where they pulled this name from. This name doesn't appear on pre-GNIS small scale topos, which don't show much here. Searching in the standard places brings up a passing mention to a subdivision near Lubbock and an elementary school near Clute, but neither of those are this place. Fails WP:GNG and no evidence that WP:GEOLAND is met. Hog Farm Talk 02:56, 23 September 2021 (UTC)- Weaker delete - I had the coords off originally, and thanks to Eastmain for finding what the proper name should have been. If kept, this should certainly be moved to Summer Hill, Texas. The 1984 USGS topo (first small-scale it appears on) has "Summer Hill", and the few sources found refer to this as such. User_talk:Txstateends#Sumer_Hill,_Henderson_County,_Texas is also telling. Unfortunately, that TSHA article is way too short to prop this up on its own, and the only other things I could find were a passing mention in an obituary and a 1936 reference to diphtheria shots being given out here. Most of the hits that appear are for that subdivision in Lubbock and a defunct school in Omen, Texas. Hog Farm Talk 03:31, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Hog Farm Talk 03:29, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep and move (the correct name, Summer Hill, can be found from the 1984 USGS quadrangle going forward). A newspaper search is confounded by other places with the same name (there are 3,207 results to sift through, few of them are likely to be about this place, and there are none in Henderson County). Nonetheless, sources exist, sources have been found, and sources have been added. While no buildings appear on 20XX topo maps, this is an artifact of the USGS transitioning to badly generated computer maps that omit many features (it shows up, labeled and with houses by it, in the 1948 and 1984 quadrangles). jp×g 23:41, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment. This Google search shows several references to it as a place name by Texas state government agencies. Tubbs Corner isn't listed in the Handbook of Texas, but in light of the way many rural Texas communities have shrunk or vanished, I suspect that the name on a map means that something was once there -- perhaps a general store run by the Tubbs family, perhaps more. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:44, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Yes that's how these often worked. The Tubbs family likely lived there, which became associated with the intersection for wayfinding and would appear on maps, but it's no indication whatsoever that there was ever an actual community beyond the Tubbses or that there is notability in a name.

- It doesn't seem like a huge problem to me. There are lots of silly microstubs created from database information, and most of them are perfectly valid subjects for articles. For example, I originally created Fordson Island, Fox Island, Van Sickle Island and Headreach Island as GNIS stubs; all four are now GAs. Bradford Island, a GNIS microstub in its [ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=978790814 first revision], is currently a 162kb long GA undergoing peer review prior to nomination as a featured article candidate.

Even if the archaeological site is notable, it's a separate location and a separate article subject.
