Notability issue. Two sources are dead links (including 'DJ D' s own official website). The main source is a Dutch platform for party/events/sessions (fwiw: no Italian page on that DJ from Bergamo).

- Delete. For clarity's sake, I've looked at the deleted version and it pertained to a female DJ D from Australia rather than a male DJ D from Italy. So this isn't a recreation of the same article, but a different topic that merely happens to have the same name. That said, this article is parked entirely on primary sources, with no evidence shown of the type of reliable source coverage in media that it takes to clear Wikipedia's notability standards — and I can find no improved evidence of reliable source coverage on a Google search either. Searching on "DJ D" is virtually pointless (typical result: the dictionary definition of "DJ" as a verb whose past tense is sometimes spelled as "DJ'd" instead of "DJed"), and even his real name just brings more primary sources and hits for unrelated people. So while the article makes claims (mostly touring) that would clear WP:NMUSIC if they were sourced properly, nothing here entitles him to an article in the absence of proper sourcing to support one.

Comment.The Looney Toons wiki licenses] all of its works CC-BY-SA 3.0, which is a Wikipedia-compatible license (if attribution is maintained). A link to the article history there would satisfy the attribution requirement, so this doesn't necessarily need to be deleted solely on the copyvio grounds. That said, it's also not very helpful, being exclusively an unsourced plot summary with excessive detail for this project's purposes. Treating the topic on the merits, there are a few potential sources, but its debatable whether any of them constitute significant coverage; I'm neutral as to the outcome here, but a redirect to Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies filmography (1940–49) would be preferable to deletion. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:49, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- I've added the proper attribution for The Village Smithy (1936 film). The copyright issues can all be resolved similarly. Pichpich (talk) 20:52, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Update: I've fixed all 6 attribution problems. The question remains: do we keep these articles separate or merge them to a common target? But this is not an AfD question since deleting is not among the reasonable options so I suggest closing this AfD. Pichpich (talk) 21:05, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Or, at least, close on procedural grounds. When I first commented on this AFD, "The Timid Toreador" was the only article listed. Because the cause for deletion here is going to come down to notability rather than copyright issues, bundling is doing more harm than good; the works will need to be considered on their individual merits. "The Village Smithy", for example, has been recognized as an early use of parody in Tex Avery's works, which might distinguish it from titles like "Porky's Garden" that are primary addressed only in comprehensive animation surveys (but that may themselves satisfy inclusion requirements). There's just no way that these can be evaluated in an omnibus AFD. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:18, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

- Thames Valley (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Outside of defining the Thames Valley, this article is mainly a list of locations that are ostensibly within the Thames Valley. Notability due to the economy of the area is commonly attributed to the M4 Corridor instead (as demonstrated by the article on the subject). The subject of the Thames Valley is well-enough served by the disambiguation page. Dissidentplasterer (talk) 18:25, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of England-related deletion discussions. CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 18:38, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. The use of the term "Thames Valley" long pre-dates the M4, although clearly the area overlaps with the M4 corridor, which is a much more recent term and covers an area extending much further westwards (as far as Swansea, perhaps). There are multiple published sources naming the Thames Valley - examples here. Although clearly the valley can easily be defined technically in geographical terms, the term is often used more loosely. But, the fact that there is no one single definition does not mean that there should not be an article about it - many ill-defined areas (such as the West Country) also have articles. The article itself is quite poor and needs to be properly referenced - but that is a reason to improve it, not delete it. Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:06, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- In fact, I think there's a good argument for that article not existing either - it's mainly just a list of things with "West Country" in the name, and "West Country" is essentially synonymous with the South West of England. The argument that the article could be improved, however, is predicated on the idea that there is something distinctly notable to say about it. --Dissidentplasterer (talk) 19:21, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- While the "South West" and the "West Country" are basically synonyms, the article South West of England is about the defined local government region. That strictly defined region is not synonymous with the fuzzy concept. The West Country could mean anything from just Devon and Cornwall to even including Herefordshire, but thoe alternative definitions have no place in an article about the region. Northern England is similarly poorly defined, but its article is currently at FAC. The lack of a single solid definition doesn't prevent a good article being written.--Nilfanion (talk) 21:47, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

- Keep The Thames Valley certainly exists as a distinct area within England, and is quite distinct from the M4 corridor (South Wales, Bristol and Bath are part of the M4 corridor but not within the Thames Valley). Aside from the valley of the actual river, the business district and the National Character Area are significant and those last two links could be used to substantially flesh out the article. The police area and the water authority area could also be discussed, and I'm sure there's other uses too.--Nilfanion (talk) 21:47, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

- Mild keep – Category:Airliner accidents and incidents caused by engine failure already exists, and its description explicitly mentions gliding as an inclusion criterion, so the list we're discussing does serve some purpose, although it requires some work: a) Strip all non-notable occurrences (such as 'flight engineer goes for a pee, all engines flame out, he comes back and all is good again'); b) Change the name to List of airliner accidents and incidents that involved gliding. EDIT: a corresponding category could be created as well. --Deeday-UK (talk) 20:59, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - I personally find the topic fascinating. Thus, in my view, the article contributes to the encyclopedia; does not detract from it. I had a look at wp:Stand-alone lists and didn't see anything that explicitly argues against or for this list in principle. Wikipedia is rife with stuff that really does need deletion; this article on the other hand is useful, though it will benefit from improved writing and references where needed.

- Keep. Comment as the original article creator: The initial source of this was a list of similar flights that was taken from Gimli Glider [3]. Most of those articles then included links to other flights that involved gliding in the "See also" sections. It seemed to me to make sense to make a separate list article, so I crawled through articles and consolidated those links into this new standalone list. I considered making a category, but I thought a list would be better as it could include flights that did not yet have their own articles. (Note that Category:Airliner accidents and incidents caused by engine failure was created after this list.) —howcheng {chat} 17:50, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep 1) The vast majority of incidents are themselves bluelinked, indicating that it is a list of notable incidents and thus deletion demands a higher bar than if it were indeed of trivial events. 2) This is NOT a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. "List of airline flights that had a red-headed pilot" would be, but gliding is an essential characteristic of fixed-wing aircraft, and so the list is a perfectly valid collection of incidents. Jclemens (talk) 03:54, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Misconstrued argument for deletion: WP:N is not fully applicable to standalone lists which should use WP:STANDALONE instead. In particular, the list/collection does not have to have independent notability on its own. Instead, it has to have clearly cut inclusion/exclusion criteria, have a finite number of potential elements, and ideally most of its elements should have independent notability (i.e., articles on Wikipedia). This list satisfies this, and so can stay. 10:19, 8 June 2017 (UTC) -- added by user:Kashmiri
- No, the misconstruction is yours. WP:STANDALONE says that WP:NOTABILITY does apply: "Being articles, stand-alone lists are subject to Wikipedia's content policies, such as verifiability, no original research, neutral point of view, and what Wikipedia is not, as well as the notability guidelines.". — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:58, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
- No, the misconstruction is yours. Per WP:WikiProject Aviation/Notability, "List-class articles are exempt from notability requirements. Entries listed inherit notability from their own articles.". 96.41.32.39 (talk) 16:54, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- Where an inconsistency exists between project guidelines and Wikipedia-wide guidelines, the Wikipedia guidelines take precedence. But thank you for pointing that out. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 18:04, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- No contradiction. The notability of the list is taken from the articles. The flights are notable for gliding, making the list of flights that glided notable. 96.41.32.39 (talk) 20:25, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- Well, that highlights my point in bringing this to AfD. There is no evidence that the flights are, as you claim, notable for gliding and not for other reasons. I am not saying that claim is necessarily untrue, only that no evidence has been provided. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 06:17, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- Your argument is so convoluted, I cannot follow it. The flights on the list are notable for having some sort of an incident (that's why there are either Wikipedia article for them, or they should have Wikipedia articles). All the incidents on the list involved gliding -- which in most cases saved some lives (many many lives), as opposed to falling out of the sky and crashing. Therefore, the list of flights that have glided gets its notability from the flights that are notable for having glided. 96.41.32.39 (talk) 07:39, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

- Well, that highlights my point in bringing this to AfD. There is no evidence that the flights are, as you claim, notable for gliding and not for other reasons. I am not saying that claim is necessarily untrue, only that no evidence has been provided. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 06:17, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- No contradiction. The notability of the list is taken from the articles. The flights are notable for gliding, making the list of flights that glided notable. 96.41.32.39 (talk) 20:25, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

- Delete really a made up concept just to create an indiscriminate list, most of the entries dont actually involve gliding but engineless plummets. Aircraft that were glided like Gimli Glider are actually categorise as engine issues but we dont list accidents by all possible variations of skill required to survive. MilborneOne (talk) 17:49, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
- Whether or not a particular flight has glided and therefore not be listed should be taken on the article's talk page. It would not be a reason to delete the list. I do not agree with you that most entries are "engineless plummets". 96.41.32.39 (talk) 22:57, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

The result was keep. Apart from one or two lone comments advocating deletion, it's clear that consensus is to keep this article in one form or another. There is no consensus whether to keep as a stand-alone article or redirect/merge it to a list of such attacks but that's not something that has to be decided at AfD but can always be proposed on the talk page.

- Note that while article creator (497 edits to date) is a WP:NEWBIES, Nom is an editor with vast experience who ought to have followed WP:RAPID. As the closing editor wrote at a similar article that was rushed to deletion by Mr. X a couple of weeks ago and closed as No consensus, "Additionally, the incident happened very recently, and new information is still coming out about it. This article was created on the day of the incident, and the AfD was started 8 hours after the article was created (which is discouraged by WP:RAPID for this very reason). There will be a better opportunity for a stronger consensus to emerge after the dust settles." As an editor who regularly works on terrorism-related articles, I have real fear that rushing articles on breaking news events of this kind can tend to WP:DISRUPT the project by forcing editors - especially new editors - to run the AfD gauntlet. I strongly suggest that Mr X withdraw this. If his opinion is unchanged a few months, he can nominate it then.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:31, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- A redirect isn't deletion. (WP:TOOSOON) - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:33, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- I decline. There is no time constraint on deleting articles. Editors should use their judgement based on common practice, content policies, nature of the subject, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:10YT, and other factors. This article is about a person who hit another person with a hammer. Meanwhile, we don't have independent articles for the daily massacres in Syria and Iraq; street executions in the Philippines; or for the five people who were brutally murdered in Orlando, Florida yesterday. We need to instill some perspective into our content decisions and not simply try to promote an project-wide viewpoint that the world is besieged by Islamist terrorism.- MrX 18:00, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

- El cid, I've been around long enough to have a pretty decent idea of how many articles we have, but thank you for the pointer. Now, "we've done a good enough job of making it notable"--a possibly Freudian slip. Blowing it up, with maps and flags and fancy names, makes it notable: you are suggesting we are making news, and given our high scores on Google searches that could be true--all the more reasons to be reticent rather than eager in writing up things that just happened. Yes, a majority of our articles are more notable than this topic (do not confuse an article with a topic). Drmies (talk) 12:19, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

- Besides which, an AfD isn't an instant process. In the event that the French cabinet does something significant as a response to this (or in the event that something else significant happens as a result of this), I for one am happy to revise my opinion and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to do so. As at this precise moment, though, a redirect is an eminently sensible approach to take.

- Again, the question isn't "Is the article written?", much less "Is it bigger than article X?". The question is whether each and every terrorist attack is encyclopedic before they trigger any notable events beyond "Someone attacked people with a hammer at Notre Dame Cathedral". If the French President comes out and bans hammers from sale (to take a silly potential outcome), then there's patently an encyclopedic value in having this article.

- Keep Partly because new information continues to emerge. But also because the useful details are inevitably lost when an article is merged into capsule summary on a list. And also because the Cabinet has reacted by using this latest attack as the occasion on which to announce the creation of a new National Centre for Counter Terrorism ( a tough job just awarded to Pierre de Bousquet de Florian ) But mostly keep because such merges of well-sourced attacks are dysfunctional. This article is already linked from the proposed Merge target: List of terrorist incidents in June 2017 (Note that many incidents on that page are bluelinked.) But it is also linked from a number of other articles, including not only the obvious List of Islamist terrorist attacks,Notre-Dame de Paris, Islamic terrorism in Europe (2014–present), and ISIL-related terror attacks in France , but also the similar Notre Dame Cathedral bombing attempt, and 2017 Louvre machete attack, and from a what-were-the-odds windfall for American politician Nancy Soderberg: Clinton advisor, American national security expert and diplomat who is widely spoken of as a probable candidate to unseat sitting Republican congressman Ron DeSantis, a former Navy officer. Soderberg was in the locked-down cathedral, tweeting with great éclat. My point here is that not only the proposed redirect, but a redirect to any of the lists or articles from which this article is linked would represent a loss of functionality for the project. By keeping the page, we enable detailed information to be found and discovered by our readers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:50, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- What useful information? Do we need extra details about how person x recited the Lord's prayer while being locked inside the church? The article can be summed up be saying "An Algerian student named Farid Ikken, injured an officer with a hammer then was shot in response by police. Ikken was an award winning journalist who lived in France who claimed to be a "soldier of the caliphate". As a response to the incident a new task force called the National Centre for Counter Terrorism was created, and the state of emergency extended for an additional few months." Add in a few extra details to that and you have the entire article summarized in a paragraph. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:57, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

- Can you respond to my comment by sharing why you chose that particular list as a merge target? To me the difficult of choosing which list to merge this or any specific terrorist attack to is a fundamental argument against merging. It makes specific incidents so much harder to find that if we keep the article and link it from all of the relevant lists/articles.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:00, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

- Keep Would possibly be inclined to agree with nominator when this first broke, but details that have now come out, especially regarding the unusual perpetrator makes it noteworthy in my opinion.

- Note that jihadist is recovering in hospital and has been charged with attempted murder, so there will and be a trial and ensuing coverage.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:08, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep There is too much international coverage, there should be a WP:OBVIOUSTERRORISTATTACK to ban the standard drill dozens of editors immediately trying to whitewash every terrorist attack, and every terrorist style crime where the motive is "unclear" as per WP:NOTNEWS or not WP:NOTABLE even when it is front page news for a month. If these seemingly random attacks are coordinated, then we can expect coordinated active measures in media to downplay or spread disinformation or otherwise censor coverage of such events. In the case of the D.C. sniper attacks and Ali Muhammad Brown luring and killing of two gay men in Seattle and a student motorist in New Jersey, even seeming random and not notable crimes which are unexplained should be treated as suspected terrorist attacks as long as they receive verifiable local coverage. Wikipedia can be a useful resource for researchers seeking to connect seemingly unconnected events even when authorities cannot. As it is, Wikipedia is woefully useless compared to Heavy and Everipedia which have no such high barrier to covering any event with substantial news coverage or even minimal coverage in blogs with a conservative or tabloid agenda which are often the only reliable media for attacks which are not covered by "reliable" sources. There are hundreds of unexplained crimes and accidents where the motive or criminal aspects are unproven or a credible possibility. Hammer and ax attacks like this deserve attention when they are done at landmarks that are strategic to terrorists and when they leave evidence to authorities that they are inspired by terrorist movements like ISIS. There should be no difference in coverage just because one is proven to be inspired or directed by terrorists, or may have been staged to look like road rage, breakup rage, rage over workplace firing, intoxication or mental illness, when the only difference is motive.

- Keep: Is the Wikipedia running out of server space? No. This event has been widely covered by WP:RS worldwide and content continues to be added. There is no sound rationale for deletion, and if this were deleted for reasons of being considered "minor" (in the eyes of the deleter), then about 1/2 of the Wikipedia, with articles with less sources and less edits, would have to be deleted too, for consistency. As the latter is unlikely to happen, the deletion of this page and not of the others would show clear bias/censorship by the deleters. XavierItzm (talk) 14:16, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

- Even as you were asserting that coverage is "over," a columnist for an American big city daily, the Sun-Sentinel, was complaining vociferously that the press has spent too much time covering this story, "During the day, CNN led the story with big, important-looking "Breaking News" graphics. That night, the incident in Paris led the evening news all over the country. Newspapers worldwide were all over the story."[5]. He is outraged that "a possible terrorist with a hammer thousands of miles away gets more public attention than a mass murder in Orlando."E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:17, 11 June 2017 (UTC) Coverage on such an intense and massive scale would probably establish notability even if coverage now ended.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:19, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
- But I said above, details continue to be published and, since he is said to be recovering, press coverage will continue as he goes to trial. Not to mention the impact of this event on French security services already noted in article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:17, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
- An impact cleverly fabricated/suggested in the article, which doesn't note that the "new counter-terrorism task force" was ordered a month ago; that it was announced the day after this one mad person's attack is coincidence. E.M. Gregory, can you please use phrases like "intense and massive scale" a bit more judiciously? It sounds like the claims made in presidential tweets. Drmies (talk) 14:11, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
- Coverage of this attack in the U.S. was on an "intense and massive scale" on Tuesday and Wednesday last. Truly, led the news at the top of the hour, front page photos. Regional newspapers and broadcast media running interviews with locals who were in or near the Cathedral. I won't speculate as to why. But the coverage for about 36 hours was massive and intensive.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:10, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
- I did not fabricate, please rescind your slander. What I wrote was that Macron "announced the creation of a new intelligence task force..." This is accurate. Anyone following events, or reading the links will understand the a reform was contemplated and that Macron either moved it forward or made the final decision to announce what a plan that had been proposed but not decided upon in the wake of this event. That is, it was unclear whether the Notre Dame attack caused Macron to finalize his decision or to move an already firm decision forward. Because this was unclear, I worded it very carefully. But do Note that a plan is only a plan until it is formally announced.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:03, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
- Gregory from what I read on the source above it appears this has had little impact. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:30, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
- Straw man. My argument, and that of other editors, is simply that the attack is notable not because my personal opinion, but because politicians and the international press have deemed it notable. We follow sources, and the sources exist.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:03, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
- But I said above, details continue to be published and, since he is said to be recovering, press coverage will continue as he goes to trial. Not to mention the impact of this event on French security services already noted in article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:17, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
- With regard to Drmies note of 9 June, here is a BBC article dated 11 June[1] and here is an article from the Sun also dated 11 June[2]. Looks like Drmies is absolutely correct: the "event" is over, but international coverage continues well past his comment! XavierItzm (talk) 10:07, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

- Anyone have access to the Plain Dealer archive? I was able to access only a snippet of the Plain Deal obit. It would be good to see the coverage of the battle with the union that drove him form Cleveland. He ran a large printing company; one of the things the company did was to print magazines. To promote it, he had his own, the William Feather Magazine running stories of interest to businessmen. Perhaps as a spin off to this, he was syndicated in some form so that little bits of wisdom from his pen appeared in newspapers in cities nationwide. And some of his bits of wisdom appear in recent book that collect notable bits of wisdom (just scroll through a few pages of a gBooks search on his name. Also, since he owned the printing plant, he published his own books, but they must have drawn attention since in 1927 one got reviewed in the New York Times and Detroit Free Press, [probably in other papers too. He also wrote for some of the serious national magazines of the day, and was quoted in the early thirties by journalists trying to figure out what was happening to the economy, His ideas on the topic were taken seriously. And he did survive the depression with a big company intact. Hope other editors with access to other archives will add some sources. E.M.Gregory (talk) 02:24, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep I agree with the presentism caveat. Old school figures do not always have a prominent digital footprint, making the process of finding sources especially challenging.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jupitus Smart 17:06, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep per E.M.Gregory's efforts. Some Googling reveals that Case Western's Encyclopedia of Cleveland History states that Feather's writings earned him a "national reputation" [7]; that H. L. Mencken used some of Feather's work to illustrate a point in The American Language [8]; and that gBooks produces a citation of Feather as the source of a hoary adage in The Concise Columbia Dictionary of Quotations [9]. One might be able to minimize each of these, if analyzed separately and with a skeptical eye, but taken as a group they suggest he was a significant writer worthy of encyclopedic attention. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:27, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

The result was Redirect.. The arguments concerning the notability, encyclopaedic-ness etc. of the subject are basically still similar to what have already been discussed and evaluated in the last AFD. Whether, there is anything to merge from this article to the redirect-target could be looked at.(non-admin closure) Winged Blades Godric 08:22, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

- Keep, Don't redirect or merge- Was an assasination that made worldwide headine news, and not just for a few days after the incident. Other famous bloggers who faced assasination and attempted assasination knew him, he knew Avijit Roy. After his murder Asif Mohiuddin, another notable blogger who survived a machete attack spoke of him, and he knew him.(http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-32701207) International media coverage continued long after the incident (March 2015), as shown here. The original article was deleted in 2015 on the grounds of lacking news coverage after the incident, but after it was deleted there was more, rendering such reason invalid. The article also exists on Zaza, German, Simple English, and Turkish language wikipedias. Consensus on the previous deletion was in no way unanimous, and the topic has come up again and in the news after the deletion. On the original deletion many argued for it to be kept. He many not have been in international worldwide news before the incident, but had presence in Bengali language media.

--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 20:33, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment The first article on the topic, Washiqur Rahman Babu, was merged and redirected to Attacks on atheists in Bangladesh in April 2015 after a deletion discussion. When PlanespotterA320 created this new article on the topic in May 2017, I redirected it because [this version] did not improve upon [the redirected version] with respect to the reasons the topic was redirected.
- You can read the previous discussion and closing comments yourself. PlanespotterA320's reading seems to be that the original problem was a lack of news coverage after the incident. Although that concern was raised during the discussion, my own reading is that the major problem was that Rahman was a low profile individual notable only for one event. Quite an alphabet soup of policies and guidelines were cited in arguments:
- What Wikipedia is Not: WP:NOTMEMORIAL, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:INDISCRIMINATE
- Biographies of Living People (and low-profile individuals): WP:BLP1E
- Notability: WP:N, WP:NEVENT, WP:ANYBIO, WP:VICTIM, WP:BIO1E

- Redirect per previous AFD - particularly as we have Attacks on atheists in Bangladesh. We're still looking at, essentially, BIO1E as the problem. I note that this almost qualifies for CSD G4 since it is effectively recreation of previously deleted content? --MASEM (t) 16:17, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep NYT, BBC, CNN coverage of blogger hacked to death for reasons beyond petty crime. The attempt, again, to delete this is a damnatio memoriae that is hard to take in good faith. μηδείς (talk) 03:11, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- No one has suggested here that victim Washiqur Rahman be deleted, or is suggesting that he should not be remembered. His death is given three paragraphs in Attacks by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh, and there are at least four redirects to take searchers there from variations of his name. However, reliable sources cover him only in connection with his murder. And they cover his murder in the broader context of other attacks on bloggers in Bangladesh. WP:BIO1E cautions against creating pseudo-biographies, the description of which goes on to say:
- "An article under the title of a person's name should substantially be a full and balanced biography of that person's public life. If the person is notable only in connection with a single event, and little or no other information is available to use in the writing of a balanced biography, that person should be covered in an article regarding the event, with the person's name as a redirect to the event article placing the information in context."
- --Worldbruce (talk) 04:10, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- Redirect to Attacks on atheists in Bangladesh. I stand by what I said when I closed the previous RFD, which is neatly summed up policy-wise by Worldbruce above. Philg88 ♦talk 05:17, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- Redirect, per nom, per all above and per my comments on last AfD. Nothing changed about Rahman since the article was first was AfD'ed, now more strongly suggesting WP:1E. No merge attempt is necessary as the subject is sufficiently covered in target article Attacks by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh. --nafSadh did say 18:27, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- Fix the merger. The article contains quite different information than is available at the redirect target, Attacks by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh. Until that situation is corrected, Washiqur Rahman should not be deleted. Briefly: this proposal is premature, and as stated above, has the character of a damnatio memoriae.

- Delete - Not only does Blumberg have zero appearances in any ATP-level events (which would garner presumed notability), but he also has zero appearances in second-level Challenger events (which usually require a win to meet notability guidelines), and only one match played in third-level ITF Futures tournaments - a loss to Adam Pavlasek in 2014. His appearance(s?) in NCAA Div 1 tournaments do not meet the guidelines for team participation either, which only cover Davis Cup participants (and likely Hopman Cup, although I don't think an otherwise non-notable player has ever participated there). Whether or not NCAA participation and coverage combined with minor (but GNG-failing) participation in Challenger events could combine for notability may be up for debate in the future, but as it stands right now Blumberg doesn't even come close to meeting any of the notability guidelines.

Organisation does not meet WP:GNG by inheriting notability from its subsidiaries (e.g. O Globo). Clear WP:COI by article creator. I've tried to engage positively on user's talk page to raise concerns and encourage better content and WP:RS. No references have yet been forthcoming, and a similarly named newly-created page on pt.wikipedia does not seem to suggest sources other than business-related ones which would meet WP:ORGIND if used here. There are many Google results referring to Agência O Globo, but seemingly as the disseminator of news, not as news in itself. Nick Moyes (talk) 17:05, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Simply put, not a notable fictional entity. This is a plot summary, and all sources I see are plot summaries as well. PS. The box to prior AfD discussion seems borked here, the relevant link would be Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cylon War but that was a procedural keep due to mass nomination.

- I can look for references, I suspect they will be in the context of articles discussing BSG in general, rather than specifically about Kobol. Would that be sufficient? Power~enwiki (talk) 20:27, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
- Well, it depends. The problem is that while we can find some mentions in passing, plot summaries ("Kobol was a planet...") are not good enough. We need to show significance outside BG universe. Ex. "Kobol, inspired by X mythology, has been used as a plot device of the Y form, and inspired A and B." And this has to be worth more than one sentence or otherwise, like Eastern Alliance, the best we can do is to merge the one sentence of real world significance ("EA was an allegory for the Soviet Union") to the main BG article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:27, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

- Well, BG is used for this series, I am sure. Anyway, User:Power~enwiki, I'd invite you back to look at the sources we found (or pretty much lack of them), in light of your earlier comments. Do you still think this topic deserves a stand-alone article instead of 2-3 sentence mention in the main article on BG(BSG)? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:38, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep "Battlestar Gallactica" and Mormon Theology (snippet view only), Research Note: Rejecting Monotheism? Polytheism, Pluralism, and Battlestar Galactica (again, no full text) both appear to discuss Kobol in terms of LDS mythology appropriated for BSG. Jclemens (talk) 04:42, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
- Neither of those even mentions the word Kobol in the available 'snippets'. Please quote at least a sentence showing non-plot discussion of the subject. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:32, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Jclemens: Update. I was able to access both sources through my university. In the 1st one, Kobol is discussed on second page of this 5-page article in two sentences. First one is a citation from the Mormon scripture on Kolob, second one states that "It appears that both the Lords of Kobol and Kolob have ordained the same governing structure for mankind." That's pretty much is it. So this is just a mention in passing, no in-depth treatment here. In the 2nd one, we get several sentences on the 1st page, no coverage besides that. The sentences read: "Thehumans had a pantheon of deities, the Lords of Kobol, which seemed to matchelements of Mormon theology and suggest the plurality of God", "He has, however, developed the mythology of the Lords of Kobol into apolytheistic system drawn primarily from Greco-Roman mythology. ", and finally "hese deities, like the ancient Greek and Roman pantheons,are related through various social and/or kinship structures and reside (orresided) together in one realm—Kobol. (It is unclear in the series where theGods currently reside, as Kobol, a planet, was discovered by the humancolonists in ruins.) " I don't think those three sentences show notability of Kobol. But I can certainly see how an entire paragraph if not more in the BG article could discuss the religion/mythology of the series, as inspired by Mormon/etc. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:35, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for finding those. No, those aren't bare mentions. If I wanted bare mentions, there area a bazillion of them in episode reviews for Kobol's Last Gleaming. While I wish each were longer, they do seem to substantially say exactly what I inferred from the snippet views. My Keep opinion stands, although if we're going to make a consolidated 'mythology of BSG' article, I would support an appropriate (i.e., non-AfD) merge discussion. Jclemens (talk) 06:41, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
- Sigh. First, the entire real world impact of Kobol in BSG can be summed up in 1-2 sentences (it has been inspired by Mormon religion/mythology). That's it. There's nothing more. This doesn't need a dedicated article. All the unreferenced, in-universe fancruft here is good for is for WP:TNTing. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:16, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

WP:BLP of an editor and publisher, referenced solely to his publishing company's own primary source website about itself with no evidence of reliable source coverage in media shown at all. This has been flagged for notability since 2011, and has existed since 2005, without ever having a single valid source added at all — but a publisher needs to be the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG, and is not entitled to an automatic inclusion freebie just because he exists. Note that first discussion took place in 2005 — and even then, it closed as no consensus because of a 50-50 keep-delete split (which is hilarious, considering how awful our content standards were in 2005.)

Fails WP:NHOOPS and GNG. Upon further review, Thompson was drafted by the semi-pro American Basketball Association (2000-present), not the ABA of the 1960s and 70s. His stint with the ValleyDawgs also does not contribute to HOOPS. Essentially, the subject is a semi-pro player whose only significant coverage is a Times article in the 90s.

Fanclub. There is very little to suggest notability (both for WP:NORG and WP:GNG). Last AfD mentioned press coverage in Dutch, but it seems pretty low-key. Still, I do get some hits like [14] and [15], so it seems borderline. From what I can make of the first article linked, through Google Translate, it seems based on the Wikipedia entry and/or a press release; this is hardly independent reporting or analysis of significance, just repetition of base facts from Wikipedia's article (probably copied from the club website and press releases). That may not be enough to make them encyclopedic. Would be nice to discuss it again, 8 years down the road. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:31, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

The title is a neologism that appeared in one 1994 book; the very few other references all quote that book, and the term has not caught on. The article itself is a compilation of mini-biographies but there is no unifying focus. More detail can be found at Talk:Pansy Craze#Neologism.2C and original research.

- Weak keep. Looking at the usage in books and scholarly works, the term is likely notable, through I couldn't find a proper definition anywhere. The article does seem to have major OR issues, and its narrow definition of the term as related to 1930s seems to contradict the sources I see which seem to talk of a longer time period. I am not sure if WP:TNT deletion would be needed here, of if this can be salvaged, but I do disagree with saying this is a non-notable neologism; this term, indeed likely created by Chauncey, has nonetheless garnered sufficient use to suggest it can likely be properly defined. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:44, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

- Weak keep This is certainly a niche term, but given that it was used historically and represents a specific and identifiable social movement I think this would be better marked for improvement rather than deletion. Relevant information would be lost, or a large amount of specialized info would need to be added to more general articles on the history of homosexuality in America, if it were removed. There's really no need to remove relevant and specific niche articles that meet the criteria for notability. TheGrinningViking (talk) 16:15, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- @TheGrinningViking: I'm not against a 'keep', if that's what's correct here, but can you please elaborate on your "given that it was used historically"—was it really? From what I see, it's one guy in one book, and a few repeats. If by "used historically" you mean, "a few people used it [but it never caught on]" then I guess you're right, it was used historically. But the number of terms that are used a few times and never catch on is limitless, and I question whether they deserve an article, or even a mention. It's a feather in an academic's cap, if they come up with a term that gets picked up on, but if a couple of their friends or colleagues quote them here and there, and then it goes nowhere afterwards, this is not notable enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia, the way I see it. But I may be misunderstanding the criteria for notability, which is why I ask for clarification about what you meant. Mathglot (talk) 06:30, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

- @Shaddim, your reasoning does not make sense. The concept is Konami Code, which is notable. List of Konami code games has one reference and List of non-Konami games using the Konami code has nine references, but you're saying that if we would merge it to a neatly sourced section on its main article, that would be original research?

- Sorry for being here unclear, "merge" by itself is not OR. I meant the "reduction to the best subset" (exmaples) could border OR (or at least I have seen this argumentation repeatedly elsewhere in WP against incomplete "example lists"). About the reach of notability, only the notability of the multiplicity of concrete Konami Code instances was shown (not the abstract concept as especially important or well designed or novel) so I would argue we HAVE TO represent the instances. The natural form is a list. Shaddim (talk) 07:39, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

- Delete both - Nothing against merging sourced entries on the list in theory, since Shaddim's OR objection only applies if they're presented as an example list instead of used to illustrate a point. However, looking over the sourced examples I don't see much of use, just iterations of "This is how to use the Konami Code in this game." Shaddim's claim that the notability of multiplicity means we have to list individual instances makes no sense; by that logic, Black Death should have a list of every person killed by the Black Death. Notable multiplicity is precisely why we shouldn't keep a list of individual examples. This is the same reason why articles on pop and jazz standards don't list every cover version.--Martin IIIa (talk) 13:41, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: There seems to be still a mistunderstanding against what I argued: the middle ground -> reducing the list to a list of examples, this act could (and maybe should?) be seen as OR. All the other solutions are fine for me, which are from my perspective: keep, merge (full?), delete the list or both. Regarding the Black Death, this is quite the opposite: Black Death is notable (in the meaning relevant) not in its individual instances of killings but as concept, it has properties which where novel and had impact on humankind in many signficant ways (while a complete list of all black death victims would be of great historical interest ;) ). The opposite is true for the Konami code: it's (small) relevance grew with every instance where it was used (or at least was WP notability established that way!). By itself it is an quite unimportant, non-novel and boring thing. PS: what about a Category instead of a list? Shaddim (talk) 18:33, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

- Comment – Firstly, the above event was a notable one and all of the major Indian newspapers had dedicated full-fledged articles to it. The information present in the article can be reliably & independently sourced, e.g. [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26],[27], [28], [29], etc. In fact, Hindi language newspapers had started publishing articles on the event before it was even started, e.g. [30], [31], [32], etc.
- Secondly, if someone still thinks that it's non-notable, then it's surely a valid case of WP:SPINOFF, as it isn't possible to merge such a huge amount of details of every individual event to the main article. - NitinMlk (talk) 22:41, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- It looks like routine coverage of a sports event which is not enough for notability. Yes, we have articles about major events like the Superbowl and the Stanley Cup, but we dont have individual stand alone articles for every American Cup in Gymnastics, just one main article American Cup (gymnastics) which seems to be enough. Seraphim System (talk) 14:49, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- American Cup (gymnastics) have stand alone articles in 2015 and 2016 and well justified to complete the main page. So, this subject also worthy as standalone article, like NitinMlk said it isn't possible to merge such a huge amount of details of every individual event to the main article.Stvbastian (talk) 16:47, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Not really, yes there are stand alone articles for those two years of the American Cup, where Olympic gold medalists competed including Simone Biles. That is enough to establish notability for the event. I don't see anything but routine press coverage here, not enough to establish inherent notability. Seraphim System (talk) 22:41, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- Routine press coverage is passing mention of match scores/results. But, as I told earlier, five of the sources cited here – [33], [34], [35], [36], & [37] – were published before the beginning of coverage, i.e. before the event was even started. And they describe each & every relevant detail of the event. In fact, the remaining sources are also dedicated to the event. And read my previous comments to understand my points. - NitinMlk (talk) 20:40, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Delete This article does not pass WP:SPORTSEVENT as stated. The relevant line: Articles about notable games should have well-sourced prose, not merely a list of stats.
This is a problem with a lot of badminton events. It is also a problem with a lot of other sports events. WP:NOT#INFO.
Also against the bid that it qualifies for WP:SPORTSEVENT; it is not the final series, it is one set of matches in a series; it is not a college bowl game; it is not an exhibition or all-star game; and it was not covered outside of the routine coverage of badminton matches of this sort.
This event did not receive coverage to warrant notability. This event will not have a huge impact on the future of badminton as we know it and did not have suitable coverage for notability.The coverage was short term (only lasting for the duration of the event, and enough time to hit the papers). The coverage (looking at the major Indian newspaper coverage from above) was all routine, some of it is the same exact copy published in different papers - of particular note, the First Post and Indian Express articles are the same, the First Post's just cuts off at an earlier paragraph. About 2/3 of the articles are all written by PTI, the Associated Press equivalent in India. The only substantial coverage I could find from above was The IB Times which is the only one to mention that players were dropping out like crazy at the last minute. A substantial problem for the tournament. Or this lovely tidbit from the Patrika article (which is also word-for-word the same as the lnvindia article) that there would be a blood drive at the event - no clue if it actually happened, though because I don't have any other sources.
Being one of 28 tournaments in one of 8 (skipping individual tournaments) such series doesn't make it a major tournament unless something spectacular happens. By my count, (assuming that each series has half the number of tournaments, and this is the exception) that makes it one of ~110 "major" tournaments per year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Menaechmi (talk • contribs) 20:55, 7 June 2017 (UTC) Keep per comments below. menaechmi (talk) 20:26, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment – Your whole analysis sounds like WP:JDLI. Even in the articles of Rajasthan Patrika [38], Hindustan (newspaper) [39], and others – which give good overview of the event & its every relevant detail – all you could find is the mention of "blood drive". In fact, that "lovely tidbit" is what you call a routine coverage or a passing mention. And don't worry, blood donation did happen. ;) As far as "well-sourced prose" is concerned, the above sources are sufficient for that, but no one is forced to clean-up articles during AFDs, as presence of reliable sources is enough. Also, you mentioned that "it is not the final series, it is one set of matches in a series". What does that even mean? The above event is a full-fledged international tournament, which is organised annually, and it awards world ranking points. Anyway, for those who just don't like badminton-related articles, the above one will still remain a valid spinoff, as explained by me earlier. In fact, WP:SPORTSEVENT also states the same point: "For a games or series that is already covered as a subtopic in another article, consider developing the topic in the existing article first until it becomes clearer that a standalone article is warranted." And as you can see, the above article is already quite long. Finally, don't limit yourself to the sources provided be me, as you can find a large no. of other sources by searching terms like syed modi badminton 2017, Syed Modi India Grand Prix Gold 2017, Syed Modi gpg 2017, etc. - NitinMlk (talk) 21:29, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Not sure what's going on here, but I can't find any reliable sources which confirm the existence of a "Witkoppen Reserve". BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:03, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Delete I could not locate any either. Apparently whoever posted this article got confused by the fact there is a reserve near Witkoppen, but not in it.TH1980 (talk) 01:08, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

- Delete, no, there simply isn't one anywhere round there or with that name. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:09, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Delete, reluctantly, it does seem to exist and I can find mentions of it, but nothing substantial or independent, e.g. http://www.siteform.co.za/Projects/Witkoppen-Reserve-Verkykerskop/, other than that its promotional material or trip adviser reviews of accommodation. Needs to feature in travel press, wildlife site guides etc. Quetzal1964 (talk) 17:33, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Quetzal1964, Although the lodge says it is in the Witkoppen Reserve, I found some sources such as [40] that confirm the "Witkoppen Tor", a large granite formation (and pictured in at the Lodge's website) is in a "reserve", but called "Fourways Reserve" or "Fourways Gardens". But I'm not yet sure there are enough sources to support an article at "Fourways Reserve". MB 21:51, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

- Shawn in Montreal that refers to a different place with the same toponym, I think it means "White Hill" in Afrikaans. The one in this article is in Orange Free State whereas the one you found reference to is in Gauteng. Quetzal1964 (talk) 18:21, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
