non-notable pornographic actress, no sources found for RS (only videos of her performances). Working in marketing and on webcam is non-notable. Oaktree b (talk) 23:18, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Non-notable pornographic actress due to total absence of any sort of media footprint (besides her video performances, which are plenty). To the creator: similar article belongs on an aggregator resource such as IMDB for pornographic actresses. But not on Wikipedia. MitYehor (talk) 21:58, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

"People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included.
Are you able to provide 2 or more sources which meet the general notability guidelines? - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (work / talk) 21:04, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete as after a Google search, there is a lack of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources beyond the AVN piece so that WP:GNG is not passed in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 01:54, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

- Merge into Sesame Street, not seeing the sort of coverage we would need for a stand alone page. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 01:22, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- No objection to a merge, but is a one hour Christmas Special notable enough to need even a mention? Possibly delete. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:13, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete because the information presented in this article contradicts WP:NOTPLOT. A simple mention in the Sesame Street is warranted, BUT a full merge is not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MitYehor (talk • contribs) 22:43, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Military-related deletion discussions. CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 21:59, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep The article certainly needs some work, but there are plenty of citations findable that talk about military small boat operations that can be used and demonstrate notability. Bondegezou (talk) 11:07, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Unsourced for a decade. This is probably a notable topic but that is not a get-out-of-sourcing card. Should be redirected to a suitable target (Naval_warfare#21st_century?) until and unless some sourcing is provided. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:58, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: it has not been worked on for over a decade. Certainly the topic can be extrapolated by a lot, but only by a dedicated editor who can re-create this article under AfC if needed. I know that my comment may contradict WP:ATA, but this is the voice of reason. // MitYehor (talk) 22:47, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Reading through the sources referenced in Operational Art Can Neutralize the Asymmetric Small Boat Threat in Major Operations, it becomes fairly clear that there is a notable topic here. Some of the more substantial writings on the topic other than the thesis include Take the small boat threat seriously, Surface ship operations in the littoral: ensuring access (which discusses fast patrol boats and coastal defense), Thermal Protection in Small Boat Special Operations, and Detailed Hazard Analysis of WMEC-270 Small Boat Operations, Detailed Hazard Analysis of WLIC-160 Deck Operations, and Risk-based Safety Survey of a WHEC-378 Vessel, and I think we're well over GNG here. I also don't think this is in TNT territory at this point; the content is largely in line with these (and other) sources and can be expanded upon using sources available on the internet. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 15:19, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- I will also note that the nom was a sock, so I have struck the nom's comments above in line with WP:SOCKSTRIKE. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 15:24, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Red-tailed hawk: that's fair enough, and I'm not surprised that there exists sufficient coverage to source an article. However, that is not an excuse to leave an entirely unsourced article in mainspace for another decade. As such, if the article is kept, I will wait a week or two for someone from among the Keep voters to take on some of the WP:BURDEN and add at least a modicum of these sources; and if that doesn't happen, I will redirect or stubbify. Policies before essays. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:27, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with you that [i]f editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page, and I would encourage you to help build the article as well. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 16:33, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- And, for what it's worth, the article is no longer unsourced. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 22:56, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - the subject is notable and we do not delete based on the state of an article unless the article is in such bad spage that WP:TNT applies. The spirit of Wikipedia is that any editor can come across and article and provide improvements. That becomes a lot harder to do when there is no article to improve. Writing a new article is much more difficult than adding to an existing article. -- Whpq (talk) 14:50, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Topic is worthy of its own article, and it is now sufficiently sourced. There are also concerns about validating a sock nomination. I also agree that WP:TNT doesn’t apply to this article. Shawn Teller (talk) 21:01, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

- Obviously we should not let the article become pseudoscientific, as has happened in the past, but there's enough WP:MEDRS coverage that it's appropriate to have an article on the topic. Jfire (talk) 22:14, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

- Keep covered in multiple sources reliable sources. The article cites a "systematic review" in a medical journal, which is the type of reference that the highest quality by MEDRS standards. Agree (obviously) with the need to keep eyes on it to prevent COI, non-RS, FRINGE-tone, etc. DMacks (talk) 23:32, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

- Very weak keep I am leaning to a very weak keep, there is coverage there per the sources, however I could easily say delete as he really doesn't have many games under his belt. Some cites don't work. #4 Collier Sports Insider article doesn't appear to work for me. Overall just edging it at the moment, if his career was over already I would say delete. Regards.

- Delete. The first two Orlando City SC refs are dead links, but would be non-independent regardless,
. [6] is a high school interview in local news, clearly fails YOUNGATH,
. The Collier Sports Insider appears to be a defunct small-town (it had an article on Collier County Special Olympics bocce ball competition's partnership with the Naples Italian American Foundation...) newsletter covering Collier County sports that is extremely unlikely to be RS let alone pass YOUNGATH,
. [7] is a high school sports match recap,
. [8] [9] is another routine, local high school football match recap,
. [10] is an announcement by EFSC Titans,
. [11] is a non-independent database entry,
. [12] is another OCSC piece,
. [13] is a trivial mention,
. [14] is a release from CPFC,
. [15] is a podcast interview by some random soccer player investment fund guy: clearly SPS, non-independent, and primary,
. [16] is a routine transactional announcement,
. [17] is another routine transactional announcement,

- Comment - It is also important to mention that the article has been expanded. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 01:16, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - WP:TOOSOON as the existing coverage is routine or trivial in nature, or not independent of the subject. He's played a handful of games at club level so far, so maybe in the future he will play regularly and then generate coverage sufficient to meet our guidelines. Jogurney (talk) 14:53, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete The subject lacks the significant coverage to pass WP:GNG. Alvaldi (talk) 19:38, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- Weak delete - Naples News is pretty good but I'm not convinced by the rest. The podcast doesn't mean much in terms of notability. Heck, even I am part of a football podcast and wouldn't even dream of using it as a source on here! Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 21:10, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Due to source analysis by JoelleJay. MrsSnoozyTurtle 04:43, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree with others about User:JoelleJay's (as usual) common sense source assessment. Keep assertions above are not supported by the sources applied or the reasonable BEFORE I performed. The subject exists, but nothing approaching direct detailing in significant coverage in independent reliable sources has been shown or found. This is a BLP and we shouldn't consider routine sports results as compelling reason for notability. BusterD (talk) 09:21, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

- Comment / Concern I would agree with the Wikipedia definition of Chief Rabbi as "a title given in several countries to the recognized religious leader of that country's Jewish community, or to a rabbinic leader appointed by the local secular authorities." This appears to be the definition of the other such articles at Lists of chief rabbis. There appears to be only one individual (for Montenegro) where the person listed here has an actual title of Chief Rabbi. The remainder seem to be in a role of lead Chabad shliach for a country or U.S. state, which is basically what's stated in parentheses in the lead. To call these individuals "Chabad Chief Rabbis" seems to be a bit of title inflation; to be honest, I'm not sure what it means to be designated as the Chief Rabbi of North Dakota. A significant portion of entries are entirely unsourced and many that have a source are to Chabad sites for a specific location and most of those mention the local shliach but don't identify the person as either chief rabbi or lead shliach for the country / state. The article may well be worth retention, but it needs far better sourcing and likely needs a more accurate title. Alansohn (talk) 16:31, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- As far as "chabad chief rabbi", a. if there's one shliach in the area he is the head shliach, and b. there can be a discussion to rename it chief chabad rabbi b.there are many individuals on this list designated chief rabbis (Russia, Cyprus, etc,), but they are on Lists of chief rabbis. This is a list of the chief rabbi for the chabad rabbis in the area, and, in many cases, they are the only rabbis in the area, wether they refer to themselves as chief rabbi or not. No-one was designated "Chief Rabbi of North Dakota", although he is, as far as I can tell, the only Rabbi in North Dakota. He is the Chabad Head Shliach, or Chief Rabbi, in North Dakota. Again, if you want to change the wording to "chief chabad rabbi", whatever, but they are the chief rabbis as far as chabad goes. Helpfulguy101 (talk) 16:48, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

- This list is definitely not indiscriminate. It could be argued that it's trivial, but Chabad is, in many places, the only Jewish presence, and this lists the rabbis who run this system. Many of the rabbis listed are notable people, many with separate articles, and many more qualify for one. List of Catholic bishops in the United States is much longer, more general, and more bloated, with detailed profiles of many of the people referenced. This does not have bloated info of the listed rabbis, and is specific to Chabad. Helpfulguy101 (talk) 03:23, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- You are comparing a list of bishops who are actually bishops to a list of chief rabbis who for the most part are not chief rabbis. This comparison contrasts the type of list that should be kept with the type of list that should be deleted. As a list of chief rabbis, this list is not just indiscriminate. It is EXTREMELY indiscriminate. It includes people who even by a far stretch of the imagination are not chief rabbis. Plus this is not the only concern I have expressed with this list. There is exclusion here of the people of the Caribbean and Central America from North America (yikes!) and there is a total disregard (and implicit disrespect) for the female Chabad emissaries who are codirectors of Chabad centers, as are the husbands. And, even then, my list of objections to this list is inconclusive. There is a lot here that contradicts our policies, guidelines, and essays. gidonb (talk) 10:37, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- This is not meant to be a list of chief rabbis, rather of the chief chabad rabbi in that area. thus, if there is one chabad rabbi in a particular country, that rabbi is the head of Chabad activities in that country. If there are more, barring exceptions, the first one to come is the head of chabad activities there. This list includes those rabbis, and only those rabbis, and is thus not indiscriminate.
- Im not sure what the objection to excluding the Caribbean and Central America from North America, and I'm also not sure that anyone would object if that were switched.
- Female Chabad emissaries, are, as they themselves would tell you, not rabbis.
- There is no definitive definition for "chief rabbi" in any jewish law or literature, rather it implies the rabbi that is appointed over the other rabbis of the community. If there are no other rabbis in the community, such as Cyprus, there are also Chief Rabbis. Catholic bishops, on the other hand, have a clear definition, and are appointed by one system, as agreed upon by all. The only jewish movement, to my knowledge, that has a membership of rabbis from dozens of countries is chabad. therefore, it would seem logical that a list of the head chabad rabbi in each major local exist. The name of such a list is irrelevant. Helpfulguy101 (talk) 16:49, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

I should mention WP:BLP, since it hasn't been linked previously in this process. This list, by an implication of "current" (a.k.a. living), is an explosion of BLP violations, "chief" and "current" statuses being designated by wikipedians without any proof at all.

Keep: The Diplomacy & Commerce page alone is enough to comply with the WP:GNG, and there are also hits at Google Books and Jstor, as we would expect with a British ambassador. The GNG is not of course anything to do with importance, so in theory I agree that an ambassador could prove to be non-notable, but thanks to the coverage they get in their international role from journalists and academics in practice it would be pretty hard for one to achieve such obscurity. On the question of what is "routine coverage" for an ambassador, that is always going to be at a higher level than for less notable roles in life. The GNG gives this helpful definition: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Moonraker (talk) 13:22, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

I Ask (talk) 21:15, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- WP:NLIST says a list is notable
if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources
. I don't see how the National Geographic or any other article that purports to list the top N restaurants (for some value of N) shows that a list of all restaurants in Wales is a notable list, and that is what this page is. The list has no inclusion criteria. An encyclopaedic treatment might be a list of michelin starred restaurants in Wales ( I expect such a list exists in reliable sources), but this purports to be a list of all restaurants. It fails on NLIST because it is indiscriminate. It does not establish notability as a requirement for inclusion, because 12 of the 22 listed restaurants are not notable and red linked. Lists must not be indiscriminate. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 21:40, 5 March 2023 (UTC)- Where does it purport to be a list of all restaurants? The pages without a Wikipedia page either have or had a Michelin star or received multiple AA rosettes. It would be pretty easy to make an article out of any of the redlinks. The page is not indiscriminate by any means. If you worry that people may ignore the current selection criteria, then add an invisible comment to formally establish selection criteria. Why? I Ask (talk) 21:58, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Where does it purport to be a list of all restaurants
- The clue is in the name. However I do understand the point you are making about the fact that the list is currently curated in a certain manner that could be understood as encyclopaedic. I don't think the curation is consistent. Pete's Eats is indeed well known, but the standards used for its inclusion appear to differ from the others, and it is a cafe, begging a question as to what is the definition of a restaurant. Thus concerns that it is indiscriminate remain. So, if this were named something else with clear inclusion criteria that did meet NLIST because it has been discussed as a group in independent reliable sources, I would agree that it should be kept. An acceptable alternative to deletion, therefore, would be to rename the list and establish the inclusion criteria. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:33, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

- WP:NLIST says a list is notable
- Delete - the current article is a very partial and indiscriminate list of a few eating establishments in Wales. Many entries are very dated and no longer reflect the current position. Most of the restaurants have no evidence as to their notability and I would dispute that the red-linked entries could easily have articles made. If so, where are they? It also appears that a criteria for inclusion is being formulated in this AFD yet it is not in the article. This appears to be a post hoc justification for retention. This article fails WP:GNG. Velella Velella Talk 22:09, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Your belief that it is a post hoc justification for retention makes no sense. AfD is about the potential for saving articles. Being out of date does not matter for a deletion discussion. Your belief that the restaurants have no evidence to notability is also demonstrably false considering each entry has about three in-depth sources. Also, indiscriminate? Every restaurant has won a major award of some type. There is nothing to suggest a small list of 22 eateries considering the size of the country is somehow indiscriminate. Why?

- A longer list? Longer than what? There are not that many restaurants in Wales (certainly not thousands) that have been the subject of several national-level sources or awards.

There are not that many restaurants in Wales (certainly not thousands) that have been the subject of several national-level sources or awards.
Again, I understand the point you are making and if the list were renamed and inclusion criteria restricted to, say, triple AA rosettes, then I would agree that this was a notable list. That, however, is not what it is at present. For instance, Cnapan Hotel, Newport is included apparently simply because it is a listed building. Now if you start adding in all the restaurants in listed buildings in Wales, thousands is actually not so implausible. Wales has 30,000 listed buildings and a high proportion of them do contain restaurants (I can't tell you if it is just hundreds or whether into the thousands, but it is a lot). A lot of the entries have three or more AA rosettes, which indicates they have achieved culinary standards that demand national recognition. A list of AA three+ rosette restaurants would meet NLIST. Note that some have fewer than three, whilst that still being the only listed inclusion basis, and that again starts multiplying the numbers whilst removing "national recognition" from the accolade. As it stands, the list remains indiscriminate. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:48, 6 March 2023 (UTC)If the list were renamed and inclusion criteria restricted to, say, triple AA rosettes, then I would agree that this was a notable list
. Then do something along the lines of that (although using triple AA rosettes is silly; just define what the notability requirements are). WP:Deletion is not cleanup, and there is nothing here needing a WP:TNT. And no, Cnapan Hotel is not included because it just happens to be in a listed building. It's because the restaurant itself has garnered acclaim from many, many sources per Cnapan Hotel#Reception. Your point about how including restaurants in buildings would lead to thousands is straight-up false. Those restaurants also need significant coverage to be included. Why?

- Keep - I agree not every restaurant needs to be included, but as long as a couple of sources can be included and it's limited, it should be fine. It's useful information and it's hard to argue this one needs to go while other restaurant by state/country lists don't. I don't think a restaurant closing should mean the list becomes invalid, because a closed restaurant can be notable.KatoKungLee (talk) 17:49, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - per above, remove the entries without articles and keep to notable entries if there are concerns over non-notable entires or indiscriminate criteria, per a WP:CSC. If this were to be deleted, similar points would have to be raised at similar list articles if questions are raised whether there should be lists of restaurants at all. Concerns over what should and should not be a list would have more weight if it were done across all similar articles. There are at least multiple sources describing restuarants in Wales to at least pass WP:NLIST [18] [19] [20] [21]. DankJae 18:44, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

- @Chris troutman, I saw improvement since Star Mississippi's decline of the draft, and furthermore I did not see any WP:NPOV issues so I accepted it. I have eased up my AfC standards after discussions at User talk:Jimbo Wales/Archive 249#About our process for approving at AfC & Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation#Backlog drive progress about AfC being too harsh while accepting drafts. This doesn't mean that I do not look at the quality of a draft. In my 200+ reviews, I do not think I have shown wrong judgement in any one of them. This is the first time my accepted draft has been brought to AfD, but I do not take this negatively. If there is consensus that this article should be deleted, I have no good reasons to believe otherwise. But I will surely improve my judgement nonetheless. ❯❯❯ Raydann(Talk) 16:32, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

- From the abstract of Pincus (2017):
- "The military, largely through the Air Force, advanced a series of projects investigating the potential of weather and climate control, manipulation, and ultimately weaponisation. These programs, which were sometimes linked to US Department of Agriculture programs aimed at improving agricultural production, persisted for decades. Some of the newly developed tools were deployed: local climate manipulation efforts during the Vietnam conflict were aimed at impeding traffic along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, with mixed results. Significant efforts came during the Weather Bureau leadership of Francis W. Reichelderfer, whose papers contain a wealth of information about efforts ranging from cloud seeding to proposals to drop atomic weapons on hurricanes. These papers, along with those of Weather Bureau scientist Harry Wexler, provide a fascinating window to a time when the US military and scientific establishment seemed poised to grasp the levers of power over nature itself. This paper describes these little-studied programs, and situates these efforts within the broader military science programs accompanying the emergence of air warfare, as well as post-war science programs aimed at countering the Soviet challenge."

- Don't delete: I strongly object to deleting this Wikipedia article about the game FCIV.NET. The article is of sufficient notability, because it is written about an actual unique game called FCIV.NET. The game has real players who regularly play the game. FCIV.NET is a 3D fork of the game Freeciv, which is separate and distinct from the game Freeciv. The article does cite an external reference from civfanatics.com, which was published by civfanatics.com independently. I am trying to make a positive impact in the world by running the FCIV.NET project, with the goal to make a 3D version of Freeciv. Therefore please don't delete this article. The article about FCIV.NET should stay, because it describes an actual, real free and open source PC game that players can play, and the game has been described by other external sources, such as civfanatics.com. I have added additional external sources, such as https://freeciv.fandom.com/wiki/FreecivWebClient which describes FCIV.NET
- "only 1 article that the author probably wrote themselves" - This is a FALSE statement. The article on civfanatics.com was not written by the author, this article was published by civfanatics.com independently. Nybygger — Preceding undated comment added 20:14, 5 March 2023 (UTC) by the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD. - Delete Simply being a game that exists does not qualify something for Wikipedia, otherwise it would be inundated with advertising and spam.

Don't Delete and Don't Redirect to FreecivFCIV.NET is a separate project from Freeciv, because FCIV.NET uses the Three.js 3D engine, has 3D graphics and is a browser game, and a separate project on GitHub. Freeciv is a 2D desktop game. FCIV.NET is a good, positive and fun, free open source browser game. Wikipedia should encourage new up-and-coming art and games, which has only modest mentions still on the Internet. Please help encourage new games and art projects online, not censor projects like FCIV.NET. This is an example of an independent news source covering the game: https://www.civfanatics.com/2022/12/19/fciv-net-december-2022-showcase/ Further, the game is notable because it is an alternative to the Civilization games, is free, in 3D and can be played online in a browser, unlike the commercial Civ games. Thank you. Nybygger 21:18, 6 March 2023 (UTC)- @Nybygger: I feel like people aren't directly addressing you, and obviously you're incredibly passionate about this project so I want to make sure to. None of us are saying it should deleted because the game isn't good. To be honest, this kind of thing is right up my alley personally as a longtime Freeciv player who feels that the graphical interface is a bit dated nowadays. But Wikipedia is not a lot of things, including an indiscriminate collection of information and in order for a game to be covered here, it must meet our general notability guideline. The question is -- is there something that we're missing? Is there coverage of FCIV.net in multiple independent and reliable (see our list of reliable sources that WikiProject video games has put together here) stories? And is that coverage significant? The Civfanatics post that you shared is a blog post with a passing mention of the game, and unfortunately doesn't pass muster.
- I just want to be clear here, that the discussion here isn't reflective of how we feel about the game and that this isn't censoring or an attack on it -- but is instead a reflection of the scant amount of coverage it has received so far. Nomader (talk) 15:52, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: If you can show that FCIV.NET has been the subject of significant coverage from independant, reliable sources, I will change my vote. The game being good, or positive, or fun, or new does not make it notable. -- Mike 🗩 21:21, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Don't Delete PleaseHere's a YouTuber who made a video of the 3D version of Freeciv: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b-kitw91kg There are others also. I will keep posting links here forever when people make YouTube videos, write articles and blogposts about FCIV.NET. In my opinion, Wikipedia is censoring the small people, and favoring the main-stream content creators who are part of the current Western society. This feels like censorship in the Soviet Union.Nybygger 21:18, 7 March 2023 (UTC)- YouTubers and small blogposts about the game doesn't make it notable. It being a "good, positive and fun, free open source browser game" doesn't make it notable. This is not "censorship in the Soviet Union," this is the game not being notable. It's based on sources, not your own opinion on the game, and as it stands, it looks like it doesn't have any sources that give it significant coverage. reppoptalk 18:51, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Each of those alone seems to comply with the WP:GNG, but there are also many hits at Google Books and Jstor, as we would expect with a British ambassador. The GNG is not of course anything to do with importance, so in theory I agree that an ambassador could prove to be non-notable, but thanks to the coverage they get in their international role from journalists and academics I think in practice it would be pretty hard for one to achieve such obscurity.

- Comment; Perhaps we do see here "routine coverage" for a British ambassador, but that is always going to be at a higher level than for less notable roles in life. The GNG gives this helpful definition: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content.

Had marked this for notability last week, and hoped it would be improved. A single ref was added, which has a very brief mention of the person. There is not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG, so it hinges on whether his position as president of ECSACOP satisfies WP:NSCHOLAR. Onel5969 TT me 12:07, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Thank you @Reidgreg for a more fair assessment.
- @Randykitty: @Headbomb: This is what I meant by, "I wonder why I often encounter resistance whenever I create articles about clearly notable African entities. It's extraordinary as conventional Wikipedia notability criteria no longer apply. These articles are nominated for deletion or deemed not to be suitable as stand-alone articles."
- Gangaidzo meets at least four different notability criteria: (1) president of ECSACOP (2) editor-in-chief of an established academic journal, which has been in operation for nearly 70 years (3) former president of the Medical and Dental Practitioners Council of Zimbabwe (4) impact by number of citations. Any one of these alone would be sufficient for Wikipedia notability. I will provide an additional example: Suzanne Crowe is president of the Medical Council of Ireland which makes her rightly notable. In addition to Godfrey Muguti, former president of COSECSA, the next page I was going to create was Medical and Dental Practitioners Council of Zimbabwe, which was established over 100 years ago - in 1905. Such organizations are notable e.g. Uganda Medical and Dental Practitioners Council. Even if one uses independent sources from reputable organizations, it is still not enough. It is thus clear to me that content related to Africa is not particularly welcome on Wikipedia as it's notability is immediately questioned despite easily meeting the criteria. Various tags are then applied to the article(s).
- I should not be surprised, after all there is systemic bias on Wikipedia.
- BW and good luck.

- Comment: Scopus gives 1451 citations to his work, but that's spread over some 56 articles credited to him. ECSACOP is quite new (founded in 2015, presumably only has five classes from its four-year program) not sure if it's established with a large enough fellowship to count as 'major'. I'd hoped/presumed there would be more substantive RSS biographical information on the subject but have failed to find anything. – Reidgreg (talk) 16:08, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a high-citation field so I don't want to rely too heavily on WP:PROF#C1 but the #C8 case as editor-in-chief of the Central African Journal of Medicine, head of multiple notable organizations, and the case for systemic bias all convince me that there's enough here. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:36, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- David Eppstein, I almost always agree with you. In this case, regarding CAJM, I would disagree. It is a very minor journal that is hardly ever cited; its IF is around 0.1 (and not included in JCR). I mean no disrespect to the journal, but #C8 (as I understand it) does not cover being EIC of any journal. Jeppiz (talk) 01:52, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- For CAJM discussion, please see Talk:Central_African_Journal_of_Medicine. Briefly; over 4000 articles published over several decades. It was at least a quartile two journal at some point. Ear-phone (talk) 09:15, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- Comment The CAJM is emphatically not a "major well-established" journal. As for the suggestion that there's somehow an anti-African bias here, I don't see that. To me, such a bias would be that sourcing judged sufficient for a non-African subject would not be judged sufficient for an African subject. As far as I can see, the same criteria that would be used for non-African subjects ae applied here. Unfortunately, it's a fact of live that fewer sources exist for subjects from some parts of the world. The solution to that it getting more sources, and creating more articles for those subjects where sources exist, not lowering our criteria for some subjects. --Randykitty (talk) 12:52, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 16:34, 5 March 2023 (UTC)- To paraphrase Talk:Central_African_Journal_of_Medicine here are the criteria for notability of an academic journal (If a journal meets any of the following criteria):
- Criterion 3: The journal is historically important in its subject area.
- The CAMJ was included in the selective MEDLINE database (and even in the Index Medicus from 1965-2015). Therefore CAJM is emphatically a notable journal according to Wikipedia criteria.
- With respect to sourcing, according to Wikipedia:Identifying and using primary sources "Primary" is not, and should not be, a bit of jargon used by Wikipedians to mean "bad" or "unreliable" or "unusable". While some primary sources are not fully independent, they can be authoritative, high-quality, accurate, fact-checked, expert-approved, subject to editorial control, and published by a reputable publisher." The sources used for Innocent Gangaidzo are largely independent, accurate, high quality, from reputable organizations, etc. see Talk:Innocent_Gangaidzo
- @TJMSmith
- Ear-phone (talk) 20:29, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Probably a weak keep although I understand both sides of the argument. I think the definitions of what is a well established journal is not clear from the criteria and CAJM is probably established enough. This combined with presidence of ESCASOP probably means the subjects meet one or two of WP:ACADEMIC criteria.
- To paraphrase Talk:Central_African_Journal_of_Medicine here are the criteria for notability of an academic journal (If a journal meets any of the following criteria):
- JamesKH76 (talk) 16:57, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- And Gangaidzo was president of the Medical and Dental Practitioners Council of Zimbabwe from 2010 to 2015 (as previously mentioned). Which alone meets Wikipedia notability criteria. See Suzanne Crowe president of the Medical Council of Ireland. Crowe has fewer scholarly citations than Gangaidzio.
- I also created, in the past, Michael Osborn (pathologist) who is President of The Royal College of Pathologists. There was no resistance whatsoever with this article despite him having fewer scholarly citations than Gangaidzo, me using similar sources as I did for Gangaidzo as references, Osborn not being an Editor-in-Chief of an academic journal or a head of other organisations.

Several of the "keep" votes are clearly not based in policy: I see people citing NMUSIC#1, yet no SIGCOV has been provided; I also see people citing NMUSIC 5, and yet the article does not seem to show that any album has been released, let alone one on a major label (yes, I can see she has appeared as a singer on film soundtracks; that's not the same thing)."
I relisted it upon request, yet the consensus has only gotten clearer since then. Vanamonde (Talk) 19:49, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

- @Oaktree b could you please go through WP: Music. again. I guess you overlooked one of the key vital point: At least one of the criteria is sufficient to establish the notability under WP: Music.
- Let me cite the phase directly from WP: Music.
- "
Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria
". - Repeating again, the source is clearly meeting criteria no 1, 5, 6 and 8 of WP: Music.
- The source is not that rich enough to pay the newspaper to write an essay on her. Generally Musicians/Singer are known by their work, so any article covering their work is same as covering about the source specifically. If you go through the articles bit more carefully and also the articles in Hindi language, you will understand that it's not just a name drop, it happens to discuss the source in few lines subject to her work.
- Having said that, if all the references are put together, this makes a good case for WP:NBASIC.

- Delete: Concur with the reasoning by Ppt91 and nominator. There's some ref-bombing around the award, but questionable if the award is notable (no article here) enough to help meet NBIO/NMUSIC. Parts of the discography aren't sourced, including the first album (with only a single song?). Nothing in article body about the albums and having reviews from notable reviewers would be helpful to show their work being noticed. There's a lot of passing mentions in the sources, but more is needed and it's just not here from good quality sources. Ravensfire (talk) 22:01, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

- Also as per NMUSIC, At least one of the criteria is sufficient to establish the notability and the source is clearly meeting criteria no 1, 5, 6 and 8.
- Hence meeting WP:MUSICBIO.
- Tell me one singer/musician's Wikipedia where ALL the discography are sourced. Please provide me just one.
- Times of India reference provided where the Padma Vibhushan (The second highest civilian award of India) winner Birju Maharaj praising her albums. In another reference, Indian composer Louis Banks is impressed with the source, her albums and her singing talents.
- So I disagree with your comment - Nothing in article body about the albums and having reviews from notable reviewers would be helpful to show their work being noticed.
- In additional to that, WP: ANYBIO allows that if the depth of the coverage in any of the given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. I believe there is enough non-trivial mentions to allow for an article on this subject.
- Risu43 (talk) 04:23, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- NMUSIC 1 - maybe, at best. A lot of passing mentions, interviews and fluff which doesn't meet this.
- NMUSIC 5 - not met, no sourced information in article about which label released the albums and some searches suggest the second one is independent. The first has, according to the article, one song - that does not make an album.
- NMUSIC 6 - nothing in article to support this.
- NMUSIC 8 - sorry, a non-notable regional award is NOT a major award at the level listed in the article.
- As NMUSIC notes, meeting the criteria MAY be notable. Taking the article as a whole, it's just not there for this person. And please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - we're talking about this article, and issues with this article, I know quite well there are a lot of other poor quality articles pushed by fans and PR groups associated with artists. Can't fix that here, you're more than welcome to nominate other articles for deletion that you feel aren't up to par. Ravensfire (talk) 16:48, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Comment: I don't know why few people enjoy deleting articles. It's means wasted efforts of author who put hell lots of time on doing the research work on subject, editors and even reviewers. Yeah I understand that crap should be removed but people should not come so hard and show some humility as Wikipedia article is always work-in-progress and never completed. I believe in expanding the Wikipedia with good articles and content. Having said that I like to highlight few things as this is the final listing.
1. WP:MUSICBIO #1 is meeting along with GNG/SIGCOV. Please find the below reliable independent reference which show significant coverage.
2. WP:MUSICBIO #10 and #5: Had sung in movies like Ada... A Way of Life] (music is on Big Music record level) , Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele (music on Zee Music Company), Thalaivii (music on T-Series), and few web series like Aspirants, Flames. All these movies and web series are notable and have Wikipedia articles and their music are on renowned music label. Besides she has been a part of few reality show like Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2012 and MTV Rock On which are again notable and have their Wikipedia page too WP:REALITYSINGER.
3. WP:MUSICBIO 8#: Awarded with Naushaad Sangeet Samman award presented by Department of Culture, Government of Uttar Pradesh. Renowned and world famous artistes like Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Kalyanji-Anandji, Khayyam, Shivkumar Sharma, Hema Malini, Rekha Bhardwaj, Sonu Nigam, Talat Aziz etc have been awarded with this prestigious award, all being notable and Wikipedia have their pages. According to few editors only music awards like Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammys award are notable, so if that the case then India and many more country don't have any notable music awards..?? I like to bring it to your attention that the awards mentioned above should be treated as an example and not as a final list of music award across global. Naushaad Sangeet Samman award is a notable award and every year more 30-40 independent reliable newspaper cover this award which itself demonstrate the notability.
4. A Google search of the Subject Parul Mishra , shows significant search results. Moreover the subject has been listed on IMDb, Spotify , Apple Music, JioSaavn, Hungama , Wynk. Subject also have a verified Facebook page . All these show some notability.
5. Song listings available on MusicBrainz which again demonstrate some sort of notability as per Resources section in WP:MUSIC.
So as per WP: ANYBIO and WP:NBASIC, combining all these, results in a significant notability, allowing an article on the subject. Risu43 (talk) 17:39, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

- So request you to go through those before voting, be it WP:MUSICBIO #10 or #5.

- Risu43, you do know that practically any artist can get listed on streaming music services even if no one listens to their work. And you can create your own bio on IMDB, I've seen IMDB profiles of a lot of people who have YouTube channels (or "actors" who have no films/TV series listed at all) so it is not evidence of notability either. Liz Read! Talk! 04:31, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Absolutely agree with you. But here in case of Parul Mishra, IMDB and other Steaming music services have songs listed from notable films in which she has worked as a playback singer, providing some evidence in support of WP:Musicbio #10. Risu43 (talk) 05:35, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete The award not a notable award. Not sure if it's a state government award either. UP dept of culture has no mention of this award on their website [31]. It's probably linked to Awadh Samman (also likely a non-notable award, falsely claiming to be a state government award). Even if it is a government award, it's just a regional award, with no significant coverage. There's nothing else in the article, to establish notability. — hako9 (talk) 19:20, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

- Getting an award is not tantamount to significant coverage, especially when it is a non-notable award. You can produce a 100 more sources mentioning her getting this award. It would still not warrant an article. — hako9 (talk) 15:01, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see why it is not meeting notability as per Wikipedia:Notability (awards and medals). Please provide your justification. Risu43 (talk) 15:50, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Exclusionary Criteria #3 - The award is granted for promotional reasons by promotional entities.
- Or, if you consider this a government award
- Exclusionary Criteria #4 -The award has been created by a local government and the award is generally unknown outside of that local government's area.
- That essay btw, is relevant for arguing about the notability of the award itself. It is possible that an individual who is granted this non-notable award, may himself/herself be notable for reasons other than being the recipient of this award. In which case, you need to point out why is this individual notable. All you have argued is that she got this award, so she is notable. — hako9 (talk) 16:08, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

The organiser of the Awadh Festival, i.e Hunar Creations Craft Association in this case.You can go through the my comment where I presented by argument why she is notable
I did. Unfortunately, I reached a different conclusion. — hako9 (talk) 16:54, 11 March 2023 (UTC)- According to the government website reference [43], the Awadh Mahotsav (Festival) is organised by UP Tourism, UP state cultural department and UPSNA in association with Govt of Uttar Pradesh and Govt of India. Risu43 (talk) 17:19, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Is Awadh Sammaan or Naushaad Sammaan, or whatever it's called, even mentioned on [44] or [45] ? All of this is a moot point btw. I would still vote delete, in case this is a government recognized award, since it's just a local award. It is WP:NOTEWORTHY enough to be mentioned in the article, but getting this award doesn't establish notability in itself. — hako9 (talk) 17:44, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- I beg to differ here. If a award recognized by a government of a country is not enough to be notable then I have nothing to say. I have already presented my case with proper references, aligned with Wikipedia policy and guideline and combining all the references cited results in a significant notability, allowing an article on the subject as per WPNBasic and WPANYBIO.

As was previously said by Megacheez, there is no reason for the San Diego Padres, of all teams, to have its own article devoted to its retired numbers. There is nothing unique about the Padres' retired numbers that warrants their own article; their coverage is no more significant than any other team. Songwaters (talk) 16:13, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep The existing cited sources shows that the topic meets WP:LISTN:
One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been.
The more appropriate approach would be to look to create similar pages for the other teams, which likely have similar coverage, if they exist for the Padres, "of all teams". WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST is generally not a compelling argument.—Bagumba (talk) 16:20, 5 March 2023 (UTC)- The sources on this page, with no more than three exceptions, are not primarily devoted to the Padres' overall list of retired numbers. They either refer to a specific player's number, or the retired numbers are a mere mention amid a broader topic, such as the team itself or its stadium. This clearly demonstrates that this topic is not notable enough to warrant its own article, as its coverage has not been shown to be significant enough. It is summarized sufficiently at San Diego Padres. Songwaters (talk) 21:06, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- WP:LISTN doesn't require all sources cover the "broader topic":
The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been.
Other awards or honors list are not subject to such an extreme interpretation.—Bagumba (talk) 01:31, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

- Merge. Wikipedia does not aspire to have an article on everythin. This article is pure fancruft; its content would make a brief para in the teams articleTheLongTone (talk) 16:29, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- WP:FANCRUFT says
It is true that things labeled fancruft are often deleted from Wikipedia. This is primarily because articles labeled as fancruft are often poorly written, unwikified, non-neutral, unreferenced, or contain original research.
None of these apply. Consider, instead, WP:ITSCRUFT:While some editors may dislike certain kinds of information, that alone isn't enough for something to be deleted.
—Bagumba (talk) 17:00, 5 March 2023 (UTC)- I dont give a flying what the Wikipedia definition of fancruft is, this article is clearly fancruft. Its well written (ish), but really is of intest only to an obsessive fann. The real point is that most of the article is information whose proper home is elsewhere, and what remains can easily be contained in the article on the team. And the fact that I find all sports with the exceptions of croquet and cricket tedious beyond belief is neither here nor there. If I was to try and delete every article on some duller than dull kick-the-ball artiste I would soon be completely Dagenham.TheLongTone (talk) 12:30, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect/Merge. Basic information can and already does sit at List of Major League Baseball retired numbers. Slightly more specific information can and already does sit at the team article. Anything more specific than that can sit at the individual player articles if appropriate. This isn't really a list article so much as a summary of each retirement along with a basic table at the end. And even in that context, I'm not really seeing notability here. Retired numbers in general, sure. The retiring of a specific player's number, sure. But trying to collect the retirements of all the Padres together as a standalone topic...I'm not finding any sourcing here. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 18:09, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

- Merge to San Diego Padres award winners and league leaders. The information is worth presenting, but it doesn't merit its own article. The team's awards list would be a better location, and there's already a see also link in a section there. NatureBoyMD (talk) 13:29, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Article does not have enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to show notability. And when I say enough, I mean zero.

- Keep "State level party organisations are not generally notable" I don't see a community consensus for that statement in the context of national parties in federal systems. We have abundant articles on the US state level parties (Republican and Democrat articles for every US state, Greens and Libertarian for multiple states), articles for every state and territory of Ausrtalia for the Labor and Liberal parties, Canada somewhat more complicated with the Liberal Party disaffiliations at Provincial level, but nevetheless, articles on the four affiliated provincial parties, 10 Provincial level articles for the NDP. In India we have multiple articles for the BJP and Congress at the state level. The AAM is now effectively a national party (although I think still officially a state party), in Gujarat the party has 5 members of the Legistlative Assembly. All that aside, there's a multitude of RS SIGCOV about the party in Gujarat: As Congress Gets Destroyed In Gujarat, Aam Aadmi Party Has Its First Roar Gujarat Polls: BJP's High Growth-Weak Development Paradox Invites AAP Welfarism Will the Aam Aadmi Party change Gujarat’s two-party politics?.

- Comment - Notability for an article requires that the concept of the Dragon Man character, as a subject in itself, is the subject of sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and that the sources that demonstrate this are independent of the subject. On these grounds this article fails. As ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ says above, the new sources added to the article do not demonstrate this attention independent from marvel fandom. But lack of notability for an article does not mean we cannot mention the character. There are lists and marvel pages where this character can be mentioned. I re-affirm my belief that this is not a notable subject for an article, but I am content with redirect as an outcome, or even merge and redirect. I believe keep would be the wrong result. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:29, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of Marvel Comics characters: D - As stated above, the newly added sources are extremely low quality. The only ones that could possibly even actually count as a genuine source are just mentions in "top ten" churnalism lists. I know there have been some debates in previous AFD if those "top ten" style lists from sites like CBR even count as reliable sources, but even if they do, the coverage in them is not significant coverage at all. Outside of that, the new sources are things like the name simply being stated in a list of characters available in a product with absolutely no discussion, which does not actually count as coverage at all. And when they're the best that can be found on the character, there is not enough to sustain an article. Rorshacma (talk) 16:32, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Apparently deleted and unilaterally restored based on the talk page history. Besides IMDb, Behind The Voice Actors, and a few other similarly dubious sources, there doesn't really seem to be anything notable about this person (despite claims by one user on the talk page, appearing at over 30 anime conventions does not create notability); many citations are to Twitter and YouTube. I understand that they've worked on many projects that may be notable themselves, but WP:Notability is not inherited. An anonymous username, not my real name 04:39, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers and Anime and manga. An anonymous username, not my real name 04:39, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep WP:ENTERTAINER is the relevant subject specific guideline for voice actors. Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions; is what it clearly states. This person has played main characters in notable shows, that means significant roles, they getting plenty of lines and in most/all episodes. Dream Focus 00:32, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- They may meet WP:ENT, but what keeps me from voting a Keep is that I was unable to find much reliable sources that at least verify that they have had such roles in all the shows this article claims they has been involved in. I don't think ENT is strong enough to supersede WP:V in this case; there has to be at least some decent sources that verify them as a voice actor. And in my opinion, Behind the Voice Actors is honestly in the same level of IMDb, in that it's a database that should be treated more like an external link rather than an actual source.
- However, under their other name I was able to find a USA Today source. It mentions them in several paragraphs, but it's less on their career and more centered around their personal life. If combined with other decent sources they may pass both ENT and GNG. But so far, their notability is a bit iffy. PantheonRadiance (talk) 01:05, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- There are sources in the article already. Also the list of credits shows who was in it. The information is usually in the main article for it. Every single article for any film or television show, animated or not, list who is in the cast. I don't think verification is a problem. Dream Focus 04:20, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, there are sources, but most of them are quite questionable as An Anonymous Username said. Counting the 25 refs in current version of the page, 9 of them are from Twitter, 2 of them are from Behind the Voice Actors, a YouTube and Kickstarter source is present with the former appearing to be a primary source (which can be used for articles sparingly), and a slew of websites that either appear to be blogs or press release material. Two reliable sources, both from Anime News Network, appear in the page and do verify their acting roles in a couple shows, but are hardly enough to pass the guidelines on their own. Casting notability problems aside, this page fails the verifiability guidelines pretty hard; with this many unreliable and primary sources in the article, I'm surprised the notability of this page wasn't questioned earlier. Although AfDs aren't cleanup, I think this article desperately needs a rewrite in order to purge most of these sources.
- Also, I did manage to at least find this secondary source that does go over their acting career a bit. You have to access it via the Wikipedia Library though. Maybe between this, the other source I posted earlier and their roles, there's a chance they may pass both GNG and ENT. PantheonRadiance (talk) 05:10, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

- Delete I realize this is "enthusiastic fan territory" but I do not find any independent reliable sources to support the content in this article. It would be easier to analyze if the obvious non-RS were removed. Alternatively, if someone can give 2-3 true independent reliable sources, that would help. Part of the fan cruft are at least two SPA's who made only 2 modifications on WP, both to this article. Neither added significant sources. One was the article creator. Lamona (talk) 20:30, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- Did you view the sources I already posted up above yet? WP:BEFORE requires that editors also search for available sources outside of the article itself; notability is determined not by the quality of sourcing currently in an article, but the existence of high-quality sources as well.
- Also, here's a non-WP Library version of the second article I posted, which seems to be WP:SIGCOV. Honestly, I'm starting to sway a little bit on the Weak Keep side. I looked up other sources and although a lot of reliable ones merely name drop them, they do verify their roles in various notable animes which arguably allows them to meet ENT as Dream Focus said earlier. If the USA Today and In These Times sources were the only factors for their notability I could see how someone would not consider them notable. But per these sources and them ostensibly passing ENT, I think there may be a stronger case for their notability. PantheonRadiance (talk) 09:21, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- I've looked at them and again they are mentions and neither is central to this person's bio. I do not think that a paragraph in two reliable sources, one about being childless and one about pay scale, meets GNG. Lamona (talk) 16:38, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- A Ctrl + F of their last name on each of these sources reveals that they were mentioned ten times in both articles, which is quite larger than just one paragraph. From a quantitative standpoint the amount of info about her from both sources reach at least over 100 words. While the USA source briefly mentions their acting career, it contains biographical info about their personal life which meets WP:BLP standards. Also, the second source doesn't just go into their pay scale; it also discusses their background and experiences as a voice actor in general. PantheonRadiance (talk) 23:35, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- 100 words is an essay, not a policy, and I have never seen it applied successfully to support GNG. It seems pretty minimal to me. Also, I looked at the essay's history and at least 2 of the main editors are blocked. Not a good sign. And here is what we know about Miller's career from that second article - not saying anything is untrue, just that this is the full extent:
- "Up until the 1990s, anime was virtually unknown in the United States. Even into the 21st century, according to voice actor Marin Miller, the entire anime dubbing industry involved “basically the same 10 people.”
- "In the 2000s, as more people discovered anime, fans of the genre — like Miller — began entering the industry."
- "Funimation, for example, opened its first dubbing studio in Texas in 1994; Miller recalled visiting the office around 2006, which was “in a bank building on the second floor.”
- "Most importantly, though, was that many anime voice actors — like Miller, who also worked on video games - saw for the first time that SAG-AFTRA was fighting for them."
- Marin Miller says they previously worked on a show (which they did not name for fear of repercussions) that Crunchyroll produced with multiple other companies and prevented from being union despite all other parties being on board."
- That's more than 100 words, but to me Miller is an example in this article; nothing is overtly about them. In each of these Miller seems to be an aside in a report about a moderately related topic. Lamona (talk) 00:56, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

The article notes: "Minimalist, conceptual, and deliberately provocative, Cao’s work reflects upon and exploits the physicality of her materials, from the conventional – marble, stretched linen and canvas – to unexpected, even transgressive, substances including the artist’s own hair, breastmilk and urine, and their various significations. Cao graduated from the academically rigorous Sculpture Department of Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts and cites Sui Jianguo and Zhan Wang as influential teachers and mentors. ... Cao Yu’s uncompromising chutzpah in confronting the masculinist history of modern and contemporary sculpture and performance art – so much testosterone! – echoes the similarly audacious work of a Chinese performance and transdisciplinary artist of the previous generation."

The article notes from Google Translate: "Back in the summer of 2016, when you entered the graduate exhibition of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, you would see the work "Spring" by the artist Cao Yu. Pregnant during college, and turned breastfeeding into a work of art - many people know Cao Yu, it is from "Spring". ... Accompanied by the controversy, Cao Yu became famous almost overnight, and she soon received offers from international galleries after being "born out of nowhere"."
The article further notes from Google Translate: "Five years have passed, and Cao Yu's creation is still continuing with an astonishingly high output. She tattooed a tiger's head on a bull's heart that was still warm and beating, and held it in front of her "androgynous" body to shoot "Things in the Chest"; she sat on an old sink, her androgynous image, in a black suit, The flat chest, masculine momentum, and the "magic touch" in the work - the water spraying out of the rusty faucet all break the established gender gaze, blur the boundaries between fashion and art, and the audience is caught by the sharp eyes What you are staring at, this is "Dragon Head"."

at position 8 (help)The article notes from Google Translate: "Cao Yu always hits the pain points in the society with a single blow. She pokes them, penetrates human nature, and always forms a strong public opinion. She never presents poetry and freshness in front of you, the kind of violence, fierceness, and rebellion are the main themes. Entering the exhibition hall, you will be enveloped by Cao Yu’s provocation and accuracy."

The article notes: "Cao Yu continues to expand her oeuvre by presenting a new series of photographic works entitled Femme Fatale, which gave its title to the exhibition and is the artist's first attempt at photography. The experimental nature of Cao's exhibitions stems from I Have an Hourglass Waist - the artist's first solo exhibition at the gallery's Beijing outpost. From video to sculpture, installation to work on canvas, and now photography, her multidisciplinary practice is crucial in challenging the perception of her surroundings, experiences and her role as an artist. Cao’s interpretation is jarring and contemplative for both a new and familiar audience."

The article notes from Google Translate: "There is also Cao Yu, born in 1988. The artist from Beijing has received numerous awards in China, and she has just been listed as China's most influential contemporary artist in a WeChat index. Cao Yu works with installation, video, photography and performance and is always good for an unusual action.

- Comment - I am strongly leaning towards k**p based on the excellent research by Cunard (well done amazing work!), and will !vote shortly after continuing a deep BEFORE. I was able to add a citation for the M+ Museum collection, Hong Kong;[49] she has several works in that collection, which brings the article closer to establishment of notability. Netherzone (talk) 18:51, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - I have gone through each of the sources that Cunard presented (and copied that info to the article talk page for future improvements), these sources are significant coverage of her work, and it thus fulfills WP:GNG. I could not verify any of the other collections other than M+, so she does not seem to meet WP:NARTIST at this time. Having said that, there are some serious problems with the article: the current sourcing is very weak (too many primary sources, an unpublished manuscript, and her own website, and a source that does not mention her at all); and there is an overall promotional tone, for example,
With her distinctive interdisciplinary practice,sharp and bold artistic language, she is recognized as the leading figure of Chinese new generation female artists, one of the most influential young artists in China.[citation needed]
. And perhaps too much emphasis on her graduate show piece Fountain. It has been heavily edited by single purpose accounts and a blocked sock, so those edits need scrutiny. I suggest pruning it back to a short article that only includes content that is appropriately sourced. Netherzone (talk) 20:54, 2 March 2023 (UTC) - Comment I am keeping my vote as is. I have read through the sources, and it all reads like promotional pseudo-feminism. Each article seems to be illustrated with flattering photographs of the subject and art, all credited to the artist's gallery. I realize that artist's agents often provided photos for reliable sources, but I still think this is WP:TOOSOON. I cannot find a reliable source for her stated year of birth. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 17:39, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- I totally get what you are saying, and too feel some skepticism due to the promotional tone, but also the SPAs and blocked sock. I was debating between "Weak K" and "K". I deeply trust your analyses of visual arts articles @WomenArtistUpdates, so I will have another look at the sources. I agree that it could be cleverly written paid content or native advertising. I almost pruned it back to a stub during this debate, but some editors (not anyone here) get bent out of shape when that happens so I did not trim it. Perhaps I should go ahead and prune the fluff? Netherzone (talk) 22:29, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- I cleaned up the sensationalism and puffery and improved the overall tone, got rid of (or tagged) some obvious paid content, and trimmed it down to a very short article, and incorporated the best two sources found by Cunard. Netherzone (talk) 01:14, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Netherzone, I was going to comment that you should go ahead and take the trimmer to this, but see you have. It reads so much better now. More like an encyclopedic article. Can you figure out what is going on with the publication section? I thin she just has the one book "I have an hourglass waist" published by her gallery Galerie Urs Meile.

It appears the location on the train tracks used to be a settlement and is now a ghost town (see photos of abandoned buildings here, and may also be independently notable as the site of a WWII training airfield [50]. Furthermore, a quick look at Google satellite and street view today shows multiple currently inhabited homes and RVs south of the rail siding, in a community that appears to identify itself as Forepaugh (as evidenced by the Friends of Forepaugh adopt-a-highway sign on the way in). The fact that the place name appears on a sign beyond just a street name puts it a category above other western rail sidings that were never anything more. Highway 89 (talk) 15:34, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Company doesn't seem to meet WP:NCORP - lacks in-depth coverage meeting the WP:CORPDEPTH thresholds. MrsSnoozyTurtle 01:49, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies and Singapore. Shellwood (talk) 02:24, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- Weak Keep This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP guidelines apply which requires references that discuss the topic (ie the *company*) in detail. WP:SIRS tells us that *each* reference must meet all the criteria for establishing notability - at least two deep or significant sources containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "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. References cannot rely *only* on information provided by the company such as articles that rely entirely on quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews, website information, etc - even when slightly modified.
- In my opinion, I am leaning towards Keep because there is one really good reference in the English language and a couple that look OK despite my poor translation skills from Chinese. For example, this article in China Daily appears to meet NCORP criteria for establishing notability as it contains in-depth Independent Content about the *company*. HighKing++ 12:28, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- HighKing, that China Daily item is certainly thoroughly in-depth but I wonder how independent it might be, as the "东方网" authorship looks like a company (PR?) rather than a bylined individual, and it has the appearance of being published in association with the Asia Innovations Group parent company (which is also a potential redirect target). AllyD (talk) 21:44, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- AllyD I'm not at all sure that the article was written by a "company" - the name translates to "Eastnet" although the URL ends with "eastday" with a description of "Oriental Finance". It doesn't appear that the attributed author has written any other articles so it is difficult to form an opinion. I've less of a problem with the article itself. For example, the article's voice speaks from personal opinion and experience in may places and draws observations from third party sources without being over-the-top or gushing. Against that, the "About Asia Innovation Group" section is written in a contrasting style (e.g. "hereinafter referred to as" and "is a leading" and "committed to bringin innovative internet products" etc). In my opinion this one doesn't ring any major alarm bells to definitely point to it as PR. Hence my Weak Keep !vote. I'll keep an eye here and see how the discussion progresses but I'll stick with my !vote for now. HighKing++ 20:53, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

- Delete or redirect to Asia Innovations Group: An article about an e-comm brand recently introduced by the parent company, with much of the article repeating information about the parent company, its user base, etc. Temporarily setting aside reservations about the independence of the sources, the coverage cited in the article bundles this with others under the parent ("Two of Asia Innovations Group Unlimited’s biggest brands, Uplive and Hekka, collaborated to sponsor this event"); and the piece in China Daily is detailed, but is effectively boosting the firm's supply chain handling and localised market proposition, attributes which seem necessary rather than innovative for any e-comm firm in the field.

- Delete per Lamona's source assessment. No substantial coverage, just passing mentions and recycled press release-KH-1 (talk) 01:30, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:RELY, these following articles; https://guardian.ng/saturday-magazine/how-elliot-osagie-brought-the-notorious-b-i-g-back-to-life-on-stage/ https://dailytimesng.com/how-elliot-osagie-and-keziah-makoundou-are-pushing-the-african-diaspora-forward-with-afropolitain-magazine/ https://dailytimesng.com/elliot-osagie-produces-the-notorious-b-i-g-song-g-o-a-t-featuring-ty-dolla-ign-and-bella-alubo-in-honor-of-biggies-50th-birthday/ are all reliable, i believe the editor was lazy to make extensive research about the subject Vector diehard (talk)
- Delete. The Nigerian media sources mentioned above read like pure advertising copy from the subject's agent, with lines such as "As he continued to fine tune his skills in these areas, gaining more notoriety within the industry, he started to push the boundaries of what could be possible, especially as he started to explore the concept of the Web3 space" and "In the partnership, Osagie leads with his expertise in growth, expansion and platform development, advancing the magazine forward within the global and U.S. media and tech spaces." Whatever this is, it is not journalism and not independent from the subject. As explained by others above, the sources cited in the article also do not meet the WP:GNG standard.

Definitely not notable. A Google search for the book doesn't turn up any sources except for e-pao.net, the only source in the article, which looks to be pretty questionable. If the book isn't notable, a list of stories in the book would obviously not be notable too. Mucube (talk • contribs) 04:40, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Subsidiary doesn't seem to meet WP:NORG - lacks independent coverage meeting the WP:ORGDEPTH thresholds. MrsSnoozyTurtle 04:56, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

This is a spring football league that was "established in 2014", yet, as of 2023, has yet to even play. Nearly half of the article's links are dead and severely outdated.
