The subject does not appear to meet any of the WP:ARTIST notability criteria. I can't find any significant coverage in searches to verify the "notable works" listed in the article (which includes forming a ragtag group of fellow artists he calls "the guild of beautiful people" and a mural on a post office). Even if verified, I'm not sure any of the events listed would be enough to meet WP:ARTIST #4. The article has been essentially stagnant since it was created over 8 years ago and the only links outside of his personal website are to user-generated websites where artists can upload their own work.

Non-notable subject that does not meet WP:BASIC. The entire article is based upon two primary sources and an unreliable source. WP:BEFORE searches for independent, reliable sources are only providing quotations from the subject, which are primary in nature, and brief, fleeting mentions, which are not significant coverage.

- Delete Community consensus is that LDS leaders have to pass WP:GNG (see examples in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018). Some do, but this one does not. Sources in text are from the church PR office's international magazine Liahona, the subject's corporate bio at the church's website, and the very dedicated self-publisher "Grampa Bill", so they are either not independent or not reliable. Search in newspaper/periodical databases finds routine announcements and quotes reprinted from church PR material, with subject in the role of "second person in list of people at temple opening" or "LDS church leader who provided a quote that LDS stuff is good". So, does not meet WP:GNG. Readers can find his bio on the church's website without Wikipedia's help. Open to reconsideration if significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources emerges.

Seems like a piece together through original research or WP:SYNTH rather than a notable topic. Isingness (talk) 21:58, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep because it is notorious like any other similar term (Mansplaining, Manspreading) and can be expanded and improved by translating the article from German and French. I just gave the initial kick. Holy Goo (talk) 22:16, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. I might cull the information about the app as undue weight, but there's certainly enough out there to expand this into a very credible article.

Failure to satisfy WP:NFILM - couldn't find sourcing that satisfied all three of Sig Cov/reliable/independent.
It's got a good number of notable actors, so I thought there might be reviews, but thus far was unavailable to find any.
It presumably isn't "Billionaires Boys Club" - the Kevin Stacey film!

- Weak keep. Well, there are easier things to find online sources for than a 15 year old Nigerian film! Also, the correct title for this film is Billionaire's Club. All that said, there's at least one article in a scholarly journal dedicated to analysis of themes in the film: Aniago, Emeka; Onah, Jonas; Okosisi, Callista (2017). "Analytical evaluation of supernatural realities in Nigerian films: Ernest Obi's Idemili and Afam Okereke's Billionaire's Club as paradigms". IKENGA International Journal of Institute of African Studies. 17 (1): 157–163. As it was published well over a decade after the film's release, I can only assume the film was relatively well-known and any difficulty in finding sources is the result of systemic bias rather than actual absent notability. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 22:53, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- I had also searched that, though I didn't get the journal (or perhaps I did and didn't read all the way) - definitely one of the odder titles, shame I can't get to it! I grant there's something to the argument - but I use 2000 as my balance point. Nosebagbear (talk)

- Question. Why is this being discussed under the title "Billionaire Club" when if one clicks on the wiki-text, one finds out the film is called "Billionaire's Club"? Vorbee (talk) 18:43, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Vorbee: - because that's what the article is currently titled. If it remains then it can be moved, but that can be messy to do mid-AfD. Nosebagbear (talk) 18:47, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- It would have been much better if you had performed this move before nominating for deletion. Then it would have been discussed under the correct title. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:00, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- Possibly, but unless it's absolutely clear-cut, like a grammar issue, I prefer to check the mood of people before performing a move. That would have required delaying this AfD (which is both more important than a minor move but also can handle it if people opt to Keep). Additionally it risks unneeded multiple moves if the AfD decided on something different. TL;DR - I could have, but there were better reasons not to; than to.

Being a privately held company, where the claims about the company are being made cannot be verified you cannot take at face value much of the information is correct or highly accurate. Blogs, Twitter or Facebook entries, web page updates are the place to promote the business he owns. It is extremely rare to see pages about other privately owned companies senior executives because there is no value to it other than to promote the individual.

- Not sure. Looks like undeclared paid editing product. Sources are not so bad but they do not look to meet notability requirements. Not terribly bad as promotion, there is more about his philanthropy than trying to promote the food company.

- Comment - Without even reading the article, I know Fakih is the founder of Paramount Fine Foods, and is known for his philanthropy and aid to immigrants to Canada. I still get my news via dead tree, and my recollection is that that there is at least one profile piece that I've read about him. I am not expressing a "keep" yet because I understand that my personal recollection that there are sources is not the same as actually producing them, ut it might take me a bit to dig them up. I should have access to the newspaper archives for the newspaper I am subscribed to, for checking. -- Whpq (talk) 21:49, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - This Toronto Star article is already a reference in the article. It is a substantial write-up specifically about Fakih. This Toronto Star article from 2012 is another substantial piece about Fakih. This Globe and Mail article is about Paramount Fine Foods, but includes substantial info written about Fakih. Ther is also this Finacial Post article about Fakih. This represents substantial coverage from multiple independent reliable sources with which to satisfy WP:GNG. -- Whpq (talk) 01:27, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
- Interesting case with set of four sources, all of which I would call non-independent as they are write ups based on the writers interviewing the subject, as I argue here: [[1]]. These four sources contain no third party sourcing. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:58, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
- The virtue of the interviews being conducted by Toronto Star and others makes them third party sources. The question is if these are only primary sources but at least the Globe and Mail contains secondary considerations (discussions with independent people not affiliated with the man or chain). Add the coverage of the defamation and his charity work, and GNG for BLP is clearly met. --Masem (t) 02:08, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
- I can see your point, but these articles are not from minor news sources. The Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail are major Canadian newspapers. That their editors have made an editorial decision that Fakih is worth covering (i.e., is worthy of note). These are not straight interview pieces, and I expect that the reporters on these assignments did do their fact checking. So I'd agree that using a quote from Fakih from one of these articles as a reference to verify a specific claim in the article would be problematic, from the point of view of notability, the decision to write an article about Fakih does establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 02:10, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

- Borderline keep . Of course there is nothing special to write about it, but a chain of 80 restaurants surely is an achievement of note. Staszek Lem (talk) 02:07, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per Whpq, even if I disagree that the sources meet the GNG. The GNG is not absolute in our decisions to keep or delete articles. I am influenced by the public causes, and the lack of blatant commercial publicity. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:19, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

- Comment Myths of Motherhood has been cited over 400 times according to Google Scholar, and was reviewed in San Francisco Chronicle, Seattle Times, Chicago Tribune, Minneapolis Star-Tribune, and The New York Times, among others. So at a minimum that book is notable. Bakazaka (talk) 16:09, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
*Like it was said, her book is notable for Wikipedia, but she herself is not. The article could have been repurposed as The Myths of Motherhood but there is no content here to so. Shari fails WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage from reliable secondary sources, nor any special criteria outside of it is met (no impact, no high citation number for PROF, no notable awards for BIO, nothing). Also the fact this article survived in this permastub state for FOURTEEN YEARS (!!) tells enough about her notability and how many articles like these will slip through sadly. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 17:16, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. As agreed above, her book Myths of Motherhood has multiple published reviews. But, although less well known, her other book The End of Gender does also have multiple published reviews [2] [3]. So she passes WP:AUTHOR for more than one book. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:39, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Passes WP:AUTHOR per David Eppstein's argument. XOR'easter (talk) 19:06, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep As well as reviews of the two books already mentioned, there was plenty of coverage of her work before she published Myths of Motherhood. In 1980, there were articles in many US newspapers and some Canadian ones about 'A hidden bias in children's books' against the disabled or those who looked different (eg the Boston Globe [4]. In 1982, articles about 'Surgery: The Mind Can Be as Affected as the Body, Doctors Discover', eg the Los Angeles Times [5]. Her advice is quoted (7 paras) in 'Mother's Day tips for stepmothers' before she had published Myths of Motherhood (eg the Boston Globe [6]. Some of those sources include info about her age and her husband, if there's a concern about biographical information. So that's over 25 years of coverage of her work - she definitely meets WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG. RebeccaGreen (talk) 00:57, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

- Comment The corresponding article on Russian Wikipedia is far more detailed, with a long list of various roles from the past ten years or so. Judging by Google Translate, while I am definitely not convinced that every one of these roles would contribute to notability, I am equally unconvinced that none of them would do so - it would definitely help if a Russian speaker could review the article.

- Weak keep Looking at the Google Translate version of the article, and of the blue-linked films she appeared in, it seems that she has had significant roles in at least two films which have articles on Wikipedia - Inadequate people (2010; Неадекватные люди in Russian) and 12 months. New tale (2015; 12 месяцев. Новая сказка in Russian). She played the wife of a main character in Village (TV series) (2013; Станица in Russian), but that character is not listed in the Wikipedia article about the film. One of the TV series listed on IMDB, in which she played a main role, is not included in her Russian Wikipedia article, and seems not to have an article of its own there. The other TV series in which she played the main role of Zhanna/Жанна, is red-linked on Russian Wikipedia, so perhaps it's notable - although all of the films and series which aren't blue-linked are red-linked, so it's hard to know. The one independent source in the current article [7] indicates that she got a lot of attention in her role in the series Don't be born beautiful as enemy and rival of the main characters ("The image of a lazy, bitchy, irresponsible intriguer was so much liked by the public that the actress had a whole army of fans and imitators.") So, on that evidence, it seems that she would pass WP:NACTOR. But the current article has so little information, it would need a lot of work to include what she is notable for, and sources that provide evidence of that .....

- Delete. I was about to close this, but saw Davey2010's explanation about the previous AfD and decided to climb on my soapbox instead. We have a rule (which I can't find, but I'm sure is written down somewhere) which says sources don't actually have to be in the article, they just have to exist. This is a perfect example of why that's a terrible rule. If you've got sources, put them in the article. Otherwise, they might as well not exist. Our goal here is to write an encyclopedia, not conduct a seminar in polemics. Sources that aren't in the article don't do anybody any good. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:33, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry RoySmith I should've been clearer - At the time of nominating I couldn't find a single thing but someone else did and so without really looking at the sources I assumed these were okay and I assumed the editor who found those few was going to add more if there were more, Ofcourse I agree with that statement just because the source isn't in the article doesn't mean the article should be deleted, The AFD shouldn't of been closed but I've learned a lot and certainly wouldn't of closed now. –Davey2010Talk 17:02, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

- Delete Atlantic's approach here is not really ideal and I advise the admin who will close this to read thoroughly what the Keep vote said. We cannot presume notability for a station/corporation like this, just like the nominator said. A claim of significance is not enough. So what we are going for is WP:GNG&WP:NCORP. First reference is a WP:ROUTINE announcement of the radio launch, not WP:SIGCOV and seems PR in its nature. The second one is again a WP:ROUTINE announcement of closure, citing what was said (making it no independent). In my search I found nothing except the forum links. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 10:24, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete, fails WP:GNG. There's two sources; one is a perfunctory announcement in the trade press that the station exists, the other is a similar notice that it no longer exists. That's not good enough. As an aside, to Jovanmilic97, you should stick to arguing policy in AfDs. Advice directed at the closing admin is generally not useful. When I'm closing an AfD, I find it quite annoying because it's a distraction. I wouldn't have an objection to userfying it per User:Mgbo120, but somebody's got to stand up and commit to doing the work. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:50, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion overturned at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2018 December 20. My listing here is a purely administrative action; I am neutral. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:31, 28 December 2018 (UTC):
- I will continue working on the article and add more sources. As it is a modern classical choral song, it does not gather massive coverage like some other more popular genre. I am limited by the kinds of sources I can site but as I was researching the song more after it was speedily deleted, I discovered that the song made it across the pond - Australians are singing it as well.

- Delete per WP:NSONG. There are references in the article, but they aren't actually about the song, just articles noting it was performed among others.

Keep/move – I don't think the power outage is necessarily notable by itself, but the storm certainly is.
In British Columbia particularly, there have only really been three notable windstorm's in recent memory. They occured in 2006, 2015 (article in question), and 2018. The latter occurred a few weeks ago, causing major damage to local landmarks and the resulting power outage surpassed that of the 2015 blackout. Of course this is all subjective. It appears that if storms in the Pacific Northwest do not particularly affect the states of Washington and Oregon it is not as notable. I forgot about the 2016 storm as it is not particularly notable in British Columbia. My point is that I think that there is potential for this article to be expanded. There's only just little to expand on in its current form as it is focused primarily on the blackout and not the storm that occurred in August 2015.

- Clarifying none of the references independent of those accredited to the author of the architecture and the wikipedia page that I can access make any mention of Meca Sapiens at all. In fact none of the accessible references even mention the word "Meca". Furthermore more than half the references were published long before the architecture was conceived. Instead the entire article is a work of WP:SYNTH where the author, likely the designer of the architecture, has made statements about various concepts and cognitive theories, provided those references that mention the concepts he's remarking on, and then related his architecture to those concepts. This is what I meant by WP:SYNTH. There's nothing in the article to suggest this particular machine learning architecture is in any way notable; furthermore my attempts to ascertain any sort of coverage that meets WP:SIGCOV or WP:GNG came up entirely empty.

- Not a RS - and trial coverage (which is what Blumenthal's two page meandering essay is) written during the trial is not an indication of SUSTAINED. This event created a whole bunch of WP:NOTNEWS coverage in 2012. A tiny bit of coverage in 2013 during the trials of a few participants (coverage dying for the most part - since subsequent investigation revealed the event to be less severe than initially reported) - and then nothing. For WP:SUSTAINED we would typically look for sources after the crime and trial in question. Icewhiz (talk) 08:46, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
- Speedy keep — I will AGF here. The incident forced Israeli society to consider their issues of racism and lack of tolerance [11]; I see that as having significance. News cverage existed for a year, maybe more, and I will review some of the hits I am seeing in academic journals.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 16:49, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- While there are several academic journal hits for "Zion square" - per my review they refer to other incidents and topics (e.g. a spate of violent incidents in 2014-2015, political rallies, safe spaces for queers, etc. etc.). The location itself is very well studied (possibly the most studied modern street location in Western Jerusalem) - both due to its use in political rallies, and being a focal point / intersection point for youth in the street - however coverage of other incidents/phenomena in Zion Square does not make this 2012 incident notable (though it does complicate BEFOREing). Icewhiz (talk) 08:55, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
- Page title is wildly inaccurate as a description of a teenage rumble between the Sharks and the Jets, with highly overblown language and use of some highly partisan sourcing.

If we are going to have an article for stabbings of settlers in occupied territories, which the person who nominated this article say clearly belong in the encyclopedia, then lynchings in Jerusalem with coverage well beyond either of those articles certainly pass that same standard. nableezy - 01:42, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- We have articles on events that have SUSTAINED coverage. Some attacks do, many do not. This particular incident - does not have such coverage - possibly since while it was a sensation in the initial August 2012 news cycle - the subsequent investigation and trial resulted in a less sensationalist outcome.

- So, reporting that went on for a year in the Israeli national press.... sounds pretty sustained to me. FOARP (talk) 12:13, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Less than a year. One major (national and international) coverage spurt in August 2012. Minor coverage (brief) on a plea bargain in May 2013, and additional coverage on 8 July 2013 (verdict). So - no - far from continuous coverage that "went on for a year in the Israeli national press" - and one one would expect, for a notable event, sustained coverage after the end of the event (e.g. from 2014-15 onwards).

Mr. Swordfish (talk) 15:16, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Was I the only person who expected "Club 420" to be about something different? FOARP (talk) 15:22, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- The reason for deletion are the reasons for creation ironically. The Club 420 is NOT a 420 the club 420 shouldn't really use the 420 logo, the club 420 is NOT international it bearly exist out of north America where there is also I420 association, they have different administration and champions. It the fact the product looks very similar it needs seperate page as it makes it clear. interestingly no one has expanded the club 420 page with north American champions etc. It does need editing but it is important not to imply by having it on the same page that it is a linked product in any way User yachty4000 10:54 12 January 2019
- The C420 is very much a "linked product" to the I420. When US manufacturer Vanguard Sailboats started building the I420 they offered a sturdier, simplified version for club usage, the C420. They did the same thing with the 470 (although the club 470 ceased production over 20 years ago). It's a variant, not a separate design.
- I understand that you hold the opinion that the C420 is not a "real" 420, and that it shouldn't use the logo, but that's only opinion. While it is true that the C420 is mainly a North American phenomena, I don't see how that's relevant. Agree that there are different class associations and different championships, and several other differences. These differences can be clearly explained in one article rather than two.
- When I edit Wikipedia, I try to bear in mind that the vast majority of readers know little or nothing about the subject and strive to present a clear and concise introduction for the uninitiated. FOARP's take is probably fairly typical. "A 420 is a sailboat?" The I420 article clearly states this in the first sentence. The C420 page sends the user on a snipe hunt with "The Club 420 is a derivative of the International 420 that is popular internationally." and you have to click on the link to find out what an International 420 might be. Granted that can be fixed with a simple edit, but for the typical user learning that the 420 is a small sailboat that comes in two variants is sufficient. Hair-splitting by editors very close to the subject matter does not serve the general audience.
- I don't know that there's a lot to be said about the C420, which may explain why the article is still a one-paragrapher after seven years. That indicates to me that it doesn't merit a separate article. If enough material gets added to justify a branch, then we can address that at the time. For now, let's just merge the two. We can always add material to the merged article expanding on the differences between the two classes and that may be more illuminating to the casual user than separate articles. Mr. Swordfish (talk) 19:23, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

- comment A cursory Google News search turns up 3,800 results (two from Vogue in the first page). They are all in Italian; I don't speak Italian, nor am I familiar with the authority of various publications. 1. The sheer volume of these results implies she meets WP:GNG. 2.

[17] or [18], several books describe Robins as the "most famous transgender in Italy" ([19], or [20]).

If anyone took the time to see my edits, they'd know I added additional sources after this proposal for deletion. One of those sources is the creator of the games' own Website? And, if you read the actual article, you'll see that I'm just using a screenshot of the actual game's In-Game documentation that is hosted by MobyGames to provide reference data, not MobyGames themselves. This is kinda insane to be honest...I think 2x sources and a screenshot are qualified for bare minimums on a game that came out during an era where documentation is going to obviously be lax. --EarthBoundX5 (talk) 18:39, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
- To establish notability for Wikipedia, you need independent reliable sources (eg. review in published/online magazine with regular staff). Your sources are either not independent on the article subject, or user generated content. In both cases not reliable sources in Wikipedia sense. Pavlor (talk) 20:18, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
- So if an object doesn't get printed in a review, it is doomed to be lost to time? That seems unbelievably against the whole notion of preservation of knowledge...something I thought Wikipedia favored? It also seems to remove the concept of wikipedia all together...taking historical records out of the media and into a user generated realm, not the other way waround. Don't delete something because it's hard to find a source that reviewed it...if the author's site has evidence (http://www.kaser.com/mesh.html), 3rd party sites show evidence (https://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Hero's_Heart.html), and the media itself is shown as evidence (https://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/209599-hero-s-heart-dos-screenshot-nag-screen.png)...then that should be more than sufficient for a page to sit for others to add to over years? Do I need to petition some big media outlet to publish a story referencing the same martial I have in order for wikipedia to consider it sufficient? That seems crazy? And my god...wikipedia itself is user generated content... Would physical scans of the media uploaded to wikipedia be source material enough? Do I need to start digging through magazines from the early 90s that never made it to the Internet to prove this case? If so, then I know wikipedia is truly a dead source of knowledge. --EarthBoundX5 (talk) 20:45, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
- If there was some review published magazine in the early 1990s, then that would be (probably) really good source for notability. I agree it is somewhat hard to find non-online sources, but this task is not impossible, as many magazine scans are now online. Notability requirements of Wikipedia are now much higher than few years ago: page that was acceptable back then is now doomed to fail at AfD. Pavlor (talk) 20:55, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

- Delete - As well as a fruitless standard search, I also couldn't find any significant coverage in a search of archive.org's magazine scans. (There was an ad listing in Micro Sistemas (Brazil) that included a title of this name, but that's far from significant coverage.) While it can be a little tricky to find information on games from this era, it's normally possible to find far more than this for any notable title.

The lemma is phantasy. There was never anything like a "Deutsch-Westafrika" / German West Arica. The designation did not exist, neither an administrative unit. The article gives not one source for it. The names for 2 companies just say these were German companies trading in West Africa.
The quoted source for Deutsch-Westafrikanische Handelsgesellschaft (1) does not exist; Schnee's book discusses missions in Africa on the quoted pages, no companies. The article can be deleted. Kipala (talk) 10:15, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- COMMENT We really need DE-language input for this, because a very large number of German-language sources are included in the DE Wiki version of this page. I do see references to it in various books (e.g., 1 2 3) but I'd like a better indication of WP:SIGCOV. FOARP (talk) 12:10, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- COMMENT This is an odd one. It has survived on de.wiki for 9 years which might suggest that the term 'Deutsch-Westafrika' was generally accepted by German readers, but apart from a few bots most of the editing on the article has been done by its originator so it's hard to know how widely-accepted the term is. There is certainly evidence that the term was used during the colonial period, but not that widely. For example [21], [22]; there are also a few contemporary uses of the term e.g. [23]. It's pretty thin-looking but I'm reluctant to zap the en.wiki article on grounds suggested when the de.wiki original does not seem to have attracted any controversy. Mccapra (talk) 13:26, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hmmmm..... does WP:GEOLAND apply here? I mean it seems to have been a name for an inhabited geographical unit? FOARP (talk) 15:46, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- @FOARP: I can speak German very well (I need to update my babel userbox), I'd say the coverage I've pulled from books.google.de seems to be just descriptive insofar as it describes several companies trading in West Africa while it was under German administration. Whether that makes GEOLAND applicable or not, I don't know, but as a term it doesn't appear to have gained a significant amount of traction or been declared a polity in its own right. So I'm on the fence. SITH (talk) 16:25, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- COMMENT well the Deutsch-Westafrikanische Handelsgesellschaft certainly did exist- here is one of its share certificates [24]. Definitely not a polity but we have articles for similar constructs such as British West Indies - meaningful, used historically to some extent, but never official. Mccapra (talk) 18:54, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - This definitely passes WP:GNG and needs to be kept. As a previous commenter mentioned, the DE version of Wikipedia is better, so we probably need help improving this article in EN. Skirts89 (talk) 20:31, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

- Delete or turn it into a dab page. I see no evidence the term is widely used in the way British West Indies is. It really is just a term sometimes used for Cameroon, sometimes for Cameroon + Togo and sometimes for Cameroon + Togo + South-West Africa. This could be cleared up with a dab page. What would a separate article cover over and above the articles on the actual colonies? Effort would be better spent on German West African Company than this article. Srnec (talk) 05:38, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:GEOLAND and WP:UE. "German West Africa" is the English translation of "Deutsche West-Afrika". It appeared as such on comtemporary English language maps, atlases and globes. Mjroots (talk) 19:13, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep While sometimes used in English language publications to refer to German Southwest Africa, i.e. Namibia, (e.g [25]), German West Africa has been referred to in English as a separate region. E.g. Colonialism in Africa 1870-1960 "German West Africa was looked upon as a tropical region, totally distinct from South-West Africa, which the Germans meant to turn into a white man's country." As for official designation, Deutsche Welle has referred to Gustav Nachtigal as "German imperial commissioner for German West-Africa". Germany and Cameroon shed light on shared colonial past.

- Redirect. It's true that sometimes, if the election campaign that a person is running in is currently underway, people will confuse current newsiness with enduring permanent notability. But the fact is that simply being a non-winning candidate is still not an article-clinching notability claim in and of itself — even at the state gubernatorial level, a candidate still needs to either (a) already have had preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten them an article anyway, such as having served in the state legislature or having passed notability standards in another career prior to entering politics, or (b) show a depth, range and volume of coverage that marks their non-winning candidacy out as a special case over and above most other people's non-winning candidacies. But neither of those things is in evidence here at all. A small amount of information about him can certainly be included in the election article itself, but nothing here meets the standard of actually earning him his own separate biographical article as a standalone topic.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The requirement under WP:NGEO is that an article has significant independent coverage. While it is true that there are numerous mentions of this stadium under its common name in various media, I cannot find a mention that passes WP:SIGCOV - namely, a mention that addresses the stadium directly and in detail. Instead, all the mentions are in discussions of matches that were played in the Stadium and thus do not meet the requirement. With that said, I would be surprised if there was nothing out there, though scouring the other Wikipedia's suggest that this may be the case; if something could be found I would have zero objection to a Speedy Keep.

- Keep - Searching for the name of the stadium in French, which is Stade 20 Août 1955 (Béchar), I found a lot of news and sources talking about it as it can be found here. It's also the home of Algerian side JS Saoura, a club that plays in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1, the top tier league of the Algerian football league system and also plays in the 2018–19 CAF Champions League and reached the group stage; so it's surely going to be needed.

- I found a lot of the same sources, but the issue is that the mentions are trivial, such as the example I posed above where it is talking about x match at the stadium. These are not sufficient to meet the requirements for notability. NoCOBOL (talk) 05:12, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- There's plenty of sources, though. Of course a brief mention in a match article doesn't count, but there are enough articles which discuss the actual stadium to make this a clear keep. SportingFlyer T·C 05:22, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

- Comment. Some popular culture 'weird stuff' type sources discusses it, e.g. [35], [36], which may not be suitable sources on which to base an article, but there are some older sources from over quite a range of years that I think are harder to dismiss as usable sources, although none of course are evidence that the creature ever existed, e.g. ''Annals & Magazine of Natural History, The Popular Science Monthly, Nature, Chambers's Journal, Harper's Weekly.

The result was delete. The suggestion to redirect to The Nunda, Eater of People looked like a good WP:ATD, but mngwa isn't even mentioned there, other than as a See Also back to here. If somebody wants to add (reliably sourced) information about Mngwa to The Nunda, Eater of People, they can do so on their own. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:22, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

- Two sources were present when I nominated the article for deletion.

- Redirect. The controlling content guideline here is WP:FRINGE, and I'm markedly unconvinced that Mystery Cats of the World is "independent of [the] promulgators and popularizers" of cryptozoology. However, in this particular instance, there's a clearly notable redirect target: The Nunda, Eater of People, an article (albeit a stubby one in need of improvement) about the traditional Swahili fairy tale (which is almost certainly the origin for stories of the cryptozoological animal, and which could warrant a brief mention of the cryptid after sourcing and expansion per WP:DUE). Note that "Nunda" and "Mngwa" are (and reliable sources can confirm) variant spellings of the same word; the orthography for Swahili written with the English alphabet was not immediately standardized.

- Redirect to The Nunda, Eater of People. Essentially a folklore/fairy-tale creature that is covered better there. There is some coverage from Popular Science Monthly, and Desmond Morris's 2006 book Fantastic Cats: A Feast of Famed and Fabled Felines. It's a creature of folklore, which is the basis on which it should be judged, but since it's synonymous with Nunda, it would be better to just cover it there. --Michig (talk) 11:33, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Amateur cricketer who made three first-class appearances in his entire playing career. I was unable to locate any additional in-depth sources about him specifically. Hell, we don't even have a first name.
I understand that WP:NCRIC deems a single first-class appearance to be enough to claim notability, but in the absence of any significant in-depth commentary about him (as opposed to just statistical information), he fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:43, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Reluctant keep for now. As the English would say, that's a sticky wicket and an issue too widespread to be decided in a single AfD.Redirect per below. He's no different from pretty much everyone I examined at random in Category:English cricketers of 1787 to 1825. We don't even know the first initial, much less the given name, of Cantrell (Middlesex cricketer). Early baseball is better documented, but we still have people like William Ahearn, who is known to have played one lousy game. (He did allow seven passed balls, which is admittedly an impressive feat.) Clarityfiend (talk) 07:44, 11 January 2019 (UTC)- Redirect to List of English cricketers (1787–1825) as the result of the discussion at Talk:Chitty (cricketer) would seem to be the best option in this case. The cases are similar in nature, although James played in three matches rather than one and we do have a first initial to work with. Ultimately it's extremely unlikely that we're going to be able to build a biography of James (or Cantrell for that matter). The definitions of first-class cricket at the time he played his matches are a little more problematic. I'm happy if there needs to be a more widespread discussion about cases such as these, but we appear to have lists of cricketers that go up to 1863 as well as lists for many major British teams as well - MCC for example goes back to 1787, although we generally don't have lists for pre-county clubs (except, oddly, a start on a Middlesex list) - but in most cases the general lists up to 1863 will do the job.
- In my view the case of Ahearn (7 PB and 2 errors....) is slightly more complex as we actually have a fuller name and dates, but I see the parallel and would be happy to discuss on a broader basis across sports if necessary. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:44, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- As nom, I'm also fine with a redirect; if I'd realized that list existed I might have done it myself. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 15:20, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of English cricketers (1787–1825). Hopefully more research can be done on these obscure cricketers. Sometimes, like with R. N. Lee (who had no known first or middle name, or dates of birth/death) a bit of research can shed some light on them. StickyWicket (talk) 16:11, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

- Comment - Cricket Archive seems to have 3 matches listed for James: on 13 Jul 1814, 13 Aug 1817, and 1 Jun 1818. Newspapers.com has notices/announcements for the fist each ([42], [43], and [44]) and results for the 1817 game ([45]). James is not listed in any of the notices/announcements, nor in the results (which are very brief). For what is worth regarding Ahearn, I find a report of the game ([46]) and a few later notes about a liquor dealer with that name in Troy during his life (such as [47] or [48]). I'm generally in favor of doing whatever possible to make articles about sportspeople and socialites of these eras, but I don't find material to suggest either individual is particularly encyclopedic.

Nearly every major college (350+ at the top division) have an all-century team - these aren’t notable enough for stand-alone article and generally are only covered by the school and the local media, not sufficient for WP:GNG.

- Merge list into Bradley Braves men's basketball but omit or rewrite prose: It's a potential copyright violation because of close paraphrasing from page 11 of the Bradley Men's Basketball Record Book (unknown author but obviously post-1991, so copyrighted).
