Wikipedia is not a Gazetteer of Political Parties (as per WP:NOTDIR and others). Christian Democratic Party was a tiny, insignificant party that fails WP:GNG as it is not widely covered in multiple reliable sources. Citations are plentiful but only prove the party exists, not that the party has achieved anything notable, as required by guidelines. The mere fact of registration with the Electoral Commission is not evidence of notability. Usefulness is not a valid criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia. Article fails all reasonable tests on notability and achievement before, during and after participation in an election. doktorb wordsdeeds 23:09, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete I started this article in 2005. I have no memory of why I thought it was notable then, but it doesn't seem to be now. I'd also dispute the claim that citations are plentiful - the bulk of the article is uncited and much of it seems dubious. Mibblepedia (talk) 15:31, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

- KEEP As an Officer of this party I find it highly offensive and discriminatory that the deletion of this page is even open to discussion, the notability will increase greatly in the coming weeks and should be left online.Josheeley (talk) 16:06, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment@Josheeley: I notice your editing on the article page and your comment here. I would just like to remind you about WP:COI. the policy Wikipedia has about conflict of interest while editing. You have a direct connection to the subject of the article, so of course you want it to stay, but adding lots of primary source websites and glowing reviews about how brilliant you are runs against our policies on notability, promotion, and neutrality. Check out our policies at WP:GNG and WP:NOTBLOG for two relevant issues here. Also you say that the party will have notability increasing in the coming weeks: that is against our policy WP:CRYSTALBALL. You may well become notable, but you need to prove it in the real world before Wikipedia can reflect that. Make your park beyond Wikipedia, and then there will be second- third- and countless-other sources we can use to WP:CITE that achievement. I hope this helps. doktorb wordsdeeds 16:44, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Doesn't pass the WP:GNG or WP:ORG. Ralbegen (talk) 10:18, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Non-notable organisation. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. If the party eventually becomes notable, then it warrants inclusion in the encyclopaedia; not before. --Jack Frost (talk) 12:02, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Not notable. If it becomes significantly notable in the future and meets WP:GNG then it can be recreated accordingly. -OXYLYPSE (talk) 16:53, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per the nomination. It does not meet WP:GNG. Wikipedia is not here as a political platform for every registered political party. The part is just not independently notable. ≫ (Lil-Unique1) -{ Talk }- 18:35, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

- Comment by creator. The Guardian, USA Today, The National and The Daily Telegraph are not "some news websites"; they are major newspapers, on three different continents. The National isn't mentioned in WP:Reliable sources/Perennial sources; but the other three newspapers are, each with a green tick and the comment "generally reliable". All 5 citations - which, if you read them, are clearly independent of both the subject and each other, rather [than] being a first article and a collection of clones - are specifically about the subject, and at least 2 (Usborne and Lancaster) are very substantial; that is more than "some attention", and to me that counts as "multiple".
- 2 of the 5 sources were deleted by an IP with the WP:ES "rm source which adds nothing". Demonstrating independent coverage in USA and Africa as well as in UK is not "nothing".

- Delete This is a horribly simplistic article. Counties change over time. Even more fun there are lots of cases where in the same election candidates of different parties have carried different elections in the same county. Time and level matter, and this article considers neither.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:56, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment At the county level especially you also have 3 other issues that are ignored in this formation, actually four. We have the split ticket voting/abstaining in elections/3rd party voting that casues the split victories that I mention above. Even at the state level I can point out cases where one party has won some state-wide elected offices and the other has won others. From at least 1990-2010 even just in Michigan's 4 top ranked state-wide elected offices there was party split. There were also elections where one party won the senate and the other the governorship. At county levels you can have cases where there are so many non-citizens that election participation is not really defining to the population, others have so many people not registered to vote including those who do not vote because of their religion (such as Amish and Jehovah's Witnesses and some members of the Nation of Islam, the first are heavily concentrated in some counties), that voter participation and results is not meaningful.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:02, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment as much as I hate the simplistic rhetoric of red state/blue state it is actually used, even though it sometimes elides much more than it reveals, such as obscuring extremely one party leaning counties in states that are dominated by the other party, such as Summit County, Utah, however the term "red county" and "blue county" are not widely used. Most counties do have some sort of elected government and these are usually elected on a partisan basis, however many counties have a non-unitary form of government, and most elect multiple county officials county wide. In Michigan only 3 counties have a county executive, and all three of those counties also elect 4 other executive officers on a county wide level. Just to make things more fun I can name a county executive who was elected by one party and then ran for governorship for the other party. Also 1 entire state, and parts of at least 5 other states exist outside of county government. Trying to extend this to cities would be even more ludicrous because in several states city elections are non-partisan.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:07, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

- Indian Institute of Ecology and Environment (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)
The owner of the institute, 'Dr.' Priya Ranjan Trivedi has been running a fake degree/certificate racket and arrested by cops.[1][2] Following are the reasons:
- It claims to offer Master's programmes affiliated with Global Open University. But, a private state university does not have the jurisdiction to offer distance education courses beyond the state territory.[3]
- In 2003, an official complaint was raised against the the Employment news for publishing misleading/deceptive/strange/fraudulent advertisements of this institute among others. The Press Council of India took the decision in favour of the complainant.[4]
- It seems to be like a humble environmental organization, but as per their website they offer courses is 'astrology' , 'urine therapy' and 'sex therapy' and over 800 such bogus courses.[5]
- Its physical address is non-existent as per recent google reviews.[6]
- All references cited in this article are redirecting to a different/dead website.
- It's claim that they are supported by Government of India is not backed with citation and the claim of approval by AICTE, is most likely fake.
- I think the reason that it is not listed among the UGC fake institute list as the owner seems to have strong political connections with the ruling party in India.[7]
- As per another google review, one visitor was told that New Delhi campus has been shifted to Nagaland. Interestingly, the Global Open University located Nagaland is also owned by the same 'Dr.' Priya Ranjan Trivedi. Now, he has started another institute in Kolkata with the similar modus operandi.[8]
Conclusion: In my opinion, having an article on Wikipedia, give this so called 'institute' some sort of credibility. Hence, the article should be deleted as soon as possible. User:Muhandes, hope you can help! Thank you.

- Comment The pertinent questions are (a) Does the school exist? (b) Is any of the substantive information in the article true and verifiable (WP:V)? (c) Does the school meet the notability guidelines (WP:N)? While discussion of the school's legitimacy, if it's challenged in reliable sources, is relevant to the article's content (subject to WP:RS and WP:NPOV), it isn't relevant to the article's existence.

- The school claims to exist in Paryavaran Complex, New Delhi, but that is not true, as per 3 recent google reviews. It exists only on website, to fool people and give them online degree/certificate in 'sex therapy' etc. in $45 bucks. I am surprised why this article was not speedy deleted under spam.

- Again: we aren't concerned with what the school claims. We're concerned with what the article claims. Largoplazo (talk) 10:12, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- Here are some of the false claims of article.
- The article claim of its physical location in Delhi is not true, as explained earlier.
- The first line of the article, "The Indian Institute of Ecology and Environment (IIEE) is a Government of India sponsored, autonomous" is without any citation. It is in fact a hoax.
- The article claim of publishing 'over 150 books and monographs' and 'conducted over 180 national and international congresses' also lack citations.
- The article claims to offer "various master's degree courses, in affiliation with The Global Open University, Nagaland' is without citing any link of accreditation agency. It is illegal to provide any degree or diploma without approval of UGC or AICTE in India. The university is blacklisted and unrecognized to offer such courses.

Television in 2020 is still uncertain, let alone events two years out. This page listing events and shows far into the future, all of which are announcements and haven't begun production, certainly fails WP:CRYSTAL. -- Wikipedical (talk) 18:48, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

- KEEP Four of the five things listed have their own articles. 2022 Winter Olympics, Super Bowl LVI, House of the Dragon, 2022 FIFA World Cup A list article is valid if it aids in navigation linking to related things. Dream Focus 20:50, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- The only explicit television series you just mentioned, House of the Dragon, actually does not have its own article – it's a redirect because the series has not entered production yet. The 94th Academy Awards also doesn't have its own article – precisely because of WP:CRYSTAL. I'm not against this page ever existing, but at the moment it is way too early to create a television page for 2022. There has to be a line somewhere. The precedent should be that a year should be created once new series have entered production. It's not feasible to create pages just because of announcements, otherwise we could have 2023 in American television and beyond. -- Wikipedical (talk) 20:59, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- It doesn't have to be a television series, anything on television of importance will be listed. Whether you have the article now or wait and create it later on makes no sense.

It doesn't have to be a television series, anything on television of importance will be listed.
By your interpretation of policy, shouldn't the page be allowed to exist by virtuue of 2022 Winter Olympics and Super Bowl LVI; Both can be argued to be "in production". ~Kvng (talk) 14:05, 25 June 2020 (UTC)- It cannot be argued those two 2022 sports events are in television production, which means filming has begun. They are both in pre-production. The 2021 Super Bowl, Olympic Games, and Academy Awards haven't begun production either! But 2021’s article at least features television series that have begun being made. The 2022 article solely lists upcoming events far in the future, which is exactly the spirit of what WP:CRYSTAL disallows. -- Wikipedical (talk) 15:59, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Way WP:TOOSOON and WP:CHILL. I don't care that it's gotten multiple hits since March, it has four known events already explained in their articles, and a GoT spin-off that may not air for sure because of the last season being a PR/writing disaster (and literally the source throws off "My guess is sometime in 2022", and going by how HBO is under AT&T right now, that is definitely a CRYSTAL and that exec might not make it to 2022!). I'm getting tired of the "20xx in American television" articles being created way too early; a hard cap preventing creation until at least April the year before has to be enforced because the WP:CRYSTAL here is beyond ridiculous. See my rationale for last year's nom for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2022 in film (2nd nomination); as we know now, an actor's possible death won't be the only thing stopping media from going forward.

- Hi Mccapra. I'm not sure about the baseball and TV schedules situation, but none of the articles I nominated cited any source, which I later added to the reason of the nomination. Also, I think these lists can actually be moved to the ballets' pages, or just name some notable ones, if there are any references. Corachow (talk) 16:42, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I think a merger of notable stagings into the main articles would be fine. Unfortunately I don’t have the sources I’d need to do the work over the next week that the article creator should have done, so hopefully someone else does. Mccapra (talk) 05:08, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
- Sports media examine schedules under a microscope, maybe even an electron microscope, both before and after seasons. Analysis ad nauseum. Baseball is especially notorious for its statistical fixation. Can you say the same for opera? Also, baseball games have an effect on each other (e.g. what pitchers are available, how long a road trip is, etc.). Different productions don't. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:08, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

- I’m pretty sure different ballet companies’ productions of the same show are nearly identical. They have to use the same choreography, sets and costumes, so there’s not much to compare. Whereas in classical productions sych as Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, companies usually have their own versions. Corachow (talk) 08:30, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep or merge into their respective main topics. A lack of sources in the articles does not mean they don't exist. For example, the List of Apollo stagings seems to be taken from this website, which is not ideal as it is from the creator of the ballets. However, many of the individual stagings can be independently verified by looking at local newspapers etc. Mysteryman blue 23:37, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

I suppose the best idea for this would be to MERGE this into another article, or downgrade to a section. There are four associated acts that would lead this to be considered notable, but while the band undoubtedly had no degree of hype for a one year period, it has not sustained. Spotify plays for the band are less than 1,000. The band website has not been updated in 10 years, it isn't mentioned in interviews or press anywhere.
It is only relevant as a "resume item" for other more notable endeavors of the members. The notable related acts include: Bootblacks (http://www.bootblacks.net) (no page), Conan Neutron and the Secret Friends (notable touring and recording act with association with larger notoriety), Replicator (still cited as influential and relevant), and Household Gods . I concluded while listing the associated acts of Household Gods (Pajo's alone is exhaustive!) that ten years out, this band page isn't notable enough to keep around. Top pocket man (talk) 15:38, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- The only way that a topic that was once notable can become not notable is if a source magically unwrites itself, so the nomination doesn't make sense. I doubt that the subject was ever notable. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:26, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Completely disagreed, this nomination totally makes sense!! I don't appreciate being nitpicked on this. This was an up and coming band that flamed out and disappeared. The choices are rewrite the article, merge or delete. Rewriting takes resources better used on notable topics, there isn't anything to merge with... hence: Speedy deletion. Top pocket man (talk) 16:59, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete (despite an incorrect nomination) - The nomination's reason is indeed nonsensical because of the WP:NOTTEMPORARY rule. I considered recommending that the AfD be closed for procedural reasons due to that nonsensical argument. Upon investigating, I recommend to the nominator that you adjust the text above to state that this band was never notable at all. This is what I found when searching for info on them. They were only ever mentioned in their own websites, old blogs and discussion boards, and occasional gig announcements. A non-notable band, despite the strange nomination and discussion above. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:13, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Firstly I agree with User:doomsdayer520 that the comments above did address actual notability rather than just the inadequacy of the nomination, which has been edited since in a way that makes the replies seem like non sequiturs.

This article seems to be more of a trivia article and of low quality and length. I am unaware of any similar articles for other UK legislatures, and I would propose that any content worth keeping be moved to the main Senedd article. Elshad (talk) 14:34, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Weak delete. I don't think a valid reason has been given for deletion—"I am unaware of any similar articles" is definitely not a valid argument—but equally I don't see any particular reason why we need a stand-alone article on the topic. The Welsh Assembly (as it then was) was once unique among the four UK legislatures in that it used to have its own TV channel whereas the legislatures at Westminster, Edinburgh and Belfast were all covered by BBC Parliament, but that experiment ended a decade ago (and is already well-covered at the existing article on their now-defunct channel). While it probably is theoretically a notable topic in Wikipedia's terms, it isn't serving any useful purpose to have a standalone page just to say "When it comes to broadcasting, the Senedd now has exactly the same arrangements as everyone else". ‑ Iridescent 14:52, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Weak delete after merge as article is rather short but comprehensive (I find it unlikely any further encyclopedic content could be added). I suggest that the content of Senedd on television#In popular culture be moved to a section of Senedd building (rather than the main article, Senedd Cymru - Welsh Parliament). Parts of the lede might also be moved to the main article though. Llew Mawr (talk) 15:00, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep but rename as Senedd in popular culture. There's enough scope and content for a standalone article about its portrayal in fictional dramas. But the Senedd features on television very regularly (every day during Coronavirus lockdown) in its role as home of the Welsh Parliament, so the article's current title is too broad.

- Please keep in mind that you should comment on the version of the article when AfD was submitted and in its current status there is no sufficient notability described. CommanderWaterford (talk) 19:17, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi CommanderWaterford per WP:BEFORE, the case at AfD is not made purely on references in the article at a given time, but on any possible references that could be sourced. It is not uncommon for an AfD to be a "keep" based on references that where never in the article, but which other editors found and displayed at AfD. It is an unusual feature of AfD and places an even higher bar on ensuring that a "delete" was not just based on the article (which may have been poor), but against any reasonable search for references. thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 19:32, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Neutral at present -- CommanderWaterford is wrong to say this is about the version existing when nominated. Articles are frequently improved during the AFD process. At present the article is so much only a stub, so that i cannot currently tell whether he is or is not notable. I would like to see a list of what he has published, though I suspect that much of this will be in Danish. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:59, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete after a thorough search, I cannot find any independent sources that discuss him or his work in depth. He seems to be an early career researcher, who may not have his PhD yet (based on this (non-independent) source which lists him as an MA). Scope creep is listing the works that he has published, not published works about him. WP:NACADEMIC is pretty clear that "Having published work does not, in itself, make an academic notable, no matter how many publications there are. Notability depends on the impact the work has had on the field of study." I am not seeing any evidence that this person has had a noteworthy impact or anything besides passing mentions, which cannot be used to build an article. buidhe 06:32, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

The entire article is from one website, and I'm not sure the data actually comes from there. The table's column headers aren't explained. There are a few other articles that list cities, but they don't go below the country level for the most part. Fuddle (talk) 16:22, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep, I see no deletion rationale presented, just calls for improvement. Clearly it is verifiable which district a village or town is in (in a country that conducts a census no less), and administrative subdivisions are a completely standard and obvious way of grouping populated places. Even if other lists like this are not yet developed, there is also a well developed category structure organized in this way, Category:Cities and towns in India by district. The nominator did not follow WP:BEFORE and instead just looked at the current state of the list rather than its potential, nor did they attempt any talk page discussion anywhere that I can find before concluding that this list was somehow unfixable. postdlf (talk) 20:30, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep Much better to have lists like this than one-line permastubs for each individual village that could instead redirect here. Reywas92Talk 00:30, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to Latur district. This article is hardly useful, the single source doesn't contain any of the populations mentioned (so it's original research) and the table is filled of list entries that don't have articles (there are only nine mentioned in Category:Cities and towns in Latur district). Oh and I can't express enough how I hate those useless serial number columns. Ajf773 (talk) 01:47, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- "...so it's original research...." You think the editor went and counted people themselves? You should read my comment above, because it seems you haven't. Maybe the information used to be at the source, maybe they used another source but didn't include it, but it's simply absurd to claim that population figures for populated places in India are not verifiable. I feel like I'm frequently reminding you in AFD discussions that we do not delete content for fixable issues. postdlf (talk) 14:07, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Population numbers change continuously. At the very least they should be referenced with a clearly dated source. A soft redirect still retains its history. Ajf773 (talk) 00:05, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- We also don't redirect content for fixable issues. Yes, it should have references included. That is a goal that should be worked towards. postdlf (talk) 01:36, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

- Nom's com: FWIW, here's what I saw when I nominated this article:
- "Until 1 August 2014 the district was divided into 10 talukas." The article suggests there are still 10
- I don't know what "Sr.Nr." is
- I can guess what "sex ratio" is but I don't know what the numbers mean (954 out of what?)
- When was this data compiled? The reference suggests 2011, but the data isn't at that website. And even if it is, it's already 9 years old
- Why those particular pieces of information? Why not area or number of schools?
- Who is going to maintain these lists?
- The whole thing looked like it ticked off a lot from WP:NOT
Fuddle (talk) 17:56, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- You have legitimate questions (except for #6), but starting an AFD is not the way to find answers, especially not when the content is presumably valid and fixable. I've posted this to Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics to hopefully get some subject-matter expert input, from those who know what sources to search and can understand the language(s). postdlf (talk) 19:10, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Sex ratio in India is always calculated with 1000 females as denominator. The data is 9 years old but published in 2014. It takes 3-4 years after census to publish the data. As for who's going to maintain these lists, the situation India-related articles is for everyone to see. - Harsh 18:11, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Article can be fixed but there is a census in 2021 so not sure how much work is worth it at this point. The data does not appear to be from the referenced website, it seems to be from a blacklisted site which may have complied the data from https://censusindia.gov.in/DigitalLibrary/Archive_home.aspx // Timothy :: talk 16:47, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect, I agree it's better to redirect this article to Latur district. Alex-h (talk) 13:40, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Reywas92 et al. Better a list that can be improved and can be a redirect target, than a huge collection of perma-stubs. Bearian (talk) 16:55, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- Merge and delete: All information on sex ratio, literacy, population, village name likely come from [4]. Much of the information is factually incorrect in the article. For instance, on page 111 of the pdf search "Yertar". It is in the Renapur Taluka. But in the article its in Ahmedpur Taluka. Likewise, too many of factual inaccuracies to list here.
Also, the Talukas have many more villages as per the doc which aren't listed inside the Taluka list. The whole article will become twice (or likely more) its size if they are included. The creator most likely compiled this doc or made the article using a derivative work from the census doc, in a hasty and careless fashion. (The next census is in 2021, district-wise demographic data usually gets published in 3-4 years after the census is conducted in 2021 in India. Imagine lists like these for every ~700+ districts in India, updated every 10 years. Every district has tens of Talukas, each Taluka has hundreds of towns/villages.)
Closing admin could do a selective merge, i.e only copy the names of the ten Talukas and paste it in a section in Latur district. - Harsh 18:05, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Stand-alone article may not be warranted.
Per from WP:OBV,- Harsh 15:39, 23 June 2020 (UTC)...while it is agreed that George Washington is indeed notable, adding separate articles called "Childhood of George Washington", "Criticism of George Washington", and "Legacy of George Washington" without good cause could run afoul of Wikipedia's notability, neutrality, and content forking guidelines.

Merge any content worth keeping to Karl Marx and leave it as a redirect. Should it become a major object of study or a very fleshed-out article, it can be re-split. No need for a stand-alone article right now. Eddie891 Talk Work 21:00, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- Strong objection to a merge proposed by Roscelese and Eddie891. What exactly do you want to merge? A full merge or a selective merge? Please keep in mind Karl Marx is already a GA. A full or even a selective merge would only sully the article. I am not denying that the source [6] cited in the article originally isn't reliable, but there is nothing worth salvageable from the article. I'd like editors well-read on Marx to discuss the topic on their talk page, instead of shoehorning a selective and demonstrably poor interpretation from a single source into a GA. - Harsh 21:10, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- I'm a little unclear why you are reacting to this so 'harsh'ly [joke], but imo there's nothing wrong with selectively merging one sentence or so into Karl Marx. There's no reason a GA cannot be improved after passing, and I'm somewhat confused why a review that was conducted nine years ago by one (admittedly well-versed) editor is given so much weight. It's very odd to describe this as 'sullying' the article when the topic has been covered in at least one other journal-- suggesting that the content isn't something that should just be thrown away. I see little evidence this topic is 'demonstrably poor', and while the article isn't the greatest, WP:AFDISNTCLEANUP.

- Marx's views on race, is certainly a notable topic for a section on the main page and when that section grows large, into a separate article too.

- Delete I think the topic could be worth a mention on the main article, but I don't think frankly it should include this paragraph. We shouldn't have articles on people's views on a topic, except under very specific circumstances where a lot can be written about it and it would be too long to fit into the main article. Otherwise we will end up with 50 articles of Donald Trump's views on Abortion, Immigration, Healthcare etc. which would be confusing to navigate. AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 11:46, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Splitting out articles on the views of an individual like this needs lots of justification. That means multiple secondary sources that discuss the person's views in an indepth way.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article replicates almost entirely the content of St Thomas the Apostle parish, Laurel Lodge while not even referring to the latter in its content. It is about an informal, ill-defined district or collection of housing estates. There is no authority to decide which estates are included or not. No citations in the article define the limits of the district. The area is probably co-terminous with the area of the Catholic parish. No part of the district is situated outside the parish. Most of the photographs used in the article were taken by me because I know the district well. Any info that the article contains that is not in the parish article can be easily folded into the latter. Laurel Lodged (talk) 08:01, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
I didn't get any of the information (bar some of the photos) for the new page from the Laurel Lodge parish page. Similar to how Darndale is a part of Coolock but is big enough to merit it's own page on Wikipedia I think that Laurel Lodge is big enough to merit it's own page. Darren J.

- You will struggle to find any sources that refer to Laurel Lodge as a field, prior to the housing developements. You will find it even harder to find sources to define its current boundaries. Without sources, I don't see how there can be an article. Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:48, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

- I don't see any reason why it can't stay. There are very similar pages for similar sub residential areas on Wikipedia -e.g. Edenmore which is really part of Raheny would be a very similar example. The article on the parish of St Thomas the Apostle parish, Laurel Lodge seems to contain a lot information relating to the residential area and not relating to the Parish but failing that if you cannot manage to get the residential area page to at least stub level with some reliable references then it should probably be deleted and the parish page left as is.

It isn't so much the merit of having or not having a page. Almost anything is worthy of a page as long as it is not seen to be an advertisement for a business or person and can be seen to be notable. It is the following points
- It does not seem to have a clear definition. What is the page about? Is it a townland (it isn't) is it a housing estate (it isn't), is it a group of housing estates and if so why are they being grouped together?
- It is not cited to a satisfactory degree or anywhere close to a satisfactory degree
- It seems to cover a lot of the same information as another page
Financefactz (talk) 12:22, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- It is about a housing estate- a big housing estate. I don't think the local Catholic Church parish Wikipedia page merits being the only Wikipedia page about the estate.

- No. From the above, the reasons for deletion are (1) It does not seem to have a clear definition. (2) It is not cited to a satisfactory degree (3) It covers a lot of the same information as another page. (4) it covers the same territory as an article about a Catholic parish. The reason for retention seems to be the personal bias of 1 editor against articles mainly about the Catholic Church. Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:05, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
- I created it as a stub. It has a clear definition- it is about a big housing estate. I am not advocating that the Catholic Church article on the area be deleted but I don't see why the latter has to the the sole or main article on the area. Stubs are either welcome or they are not. Can we have more opinion's on this? currently there is a notice to delete this new page yet only 1 person is calling for it to be deleted. Darren J. Prior (talk) 07:31, 30 May 2020 (UTC)Darren J.

I would agree with all of Laurel Lodged points apart from point 4 and the personal bias point. It has now been a few days since it has been published and there have been no real improvements to the page or clear responses to issues raised. There is no bias towards the parish page, it is just that it has a clear definition and is better referenced and contains more detail and was created first. The benefits of significantly changing that the parish page and moving a lot of the information to a separate residential area page are not clear at the moment although that might change at some point in the future. Currently however it looks like Laurel Lodge is likely to be an article for deletion. Don't let this discourage you though as it may be the case that you can create something of high quality in the near future which can be of value to the project.
Financefactz (talk) 22:19, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
- In response to 4 points: 1) It is about a big housing estate 2) There are loads of citations on it. 3 & 4) Not relevant. The Catholic church do not own the housing estate.
Laurel Lodge is not a small housing estate.

- Delete (and/or merge to Castleknock). The nominator should probably take a look at the policy they are proposing under. However, in terms of NN (and WP:GNG in particular), any searches for material and references suggest that the principal meaning/use of the term "Laurel Lodge" is in relation to the parish in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin. Rather than the housing development/former manor house estate. And, as mentioned by others, this topic (the parish) is already covered in the St Thomas the Apostle parish, Laurel Lodge article. Otherwise, in terms of WP:GEOLAND, as a "populated place without legal recognition", I am not seeing anything which indicates that there is "non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources". Where this is the case, the information on this type of place "should be included in the more general article on the legally recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it". In this case this would mean covering the topic in the Castleknock article. If the content is merged there, I'm not sure we need a redirect. As, frankly, I just don't see how a housing estate (however large) needs its own article or title. I have not been able to fully follow the wall-of-text above. But I note what appear to be WP:OSE and similar arguments. Guliolopez (talk) 16:39, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to Castleknock (first preference) or St Thomas the Apostle parish, Laurel Lodge (second preference). I agree with Guliolopez's analysis that there is no evidence of significant coverage of this housing estate and according to general practice it should be redirected to the next-higher entity that does have such coverage. There does not appear to be any significant text worth merging. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 19:49, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to Castleknock or delete. I agree with Guliolopez's analysis and was inclined to give the page a chance at the start but it is somewhere between a housing estate and a suburb. It isn't even really at the level of an localities/townlands such as Bayside, Dublin or Edenmore which I believe are easily worthy of articles in themselves irrespective of the qualities of those articles.

Non-notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 12:14, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
Portuguese underground band. I think they are not notable for Wikipedia. The article is very poorly sourced to one of the members' Myspace page and a page which lists obscure punk/metal bands, this one included. I have never heard about them but I decided to look them up. As always, I found nothing of notability or reliability, just the usual, unreliable stuff like Last.fm, Bandcamp, Discogs, Facebook, Spirit of Metal and Rate Your Music. Aside from these sites, the rest are retail sites, blog sites and name checks. This is a very underground band which did not attract any attention from notable media and they eventually split up in 2008. Another underground band who has no reason to be included in Wikipedia. This article also managed to stay here since 2011. The band has no article on the Portuguese Wikipedia. Databases, social media pages and retail sites do not cut it when we are talking about reliable sources. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 12:11, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

It was added to List of medals for bravery by the page creator, and is elsewhere mentioned in Odowaa Yusuf Rageh (uncited and sources there only mention that he was awarded awards), in Abdullahi Ahmed Irro (not in source provided— based upon Ctrl+F—and File:IRROSOGW0977.jpg (which has a dubious licence and no sourcing to verify that it is the same award)), and in Mohammad Ali Samatar (uncited, only in infobox).

- Delete unless some pretty good sourcing turns up; my BEFORE found zippo (although neither Somali or Arabic are native tongues to me!), but there may be some in those languages. However, that would then only prove that it exists and not be a hoax: it would still need to be covered by multiple, independent third-party sources to stay remain a stand-alone article. ——Serial # 19:09, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

- It's not a (one time) news event. The protest and the protesters have been visited by government officials, ambassadors, politicians (local as well as foreign). The PKK commented about it (as mentioned in the article).
- Newswebsites even have a tag on their own websites about it: Seta (think tank), Independent, Hürriyet, CNN Turk

Delete support delete(user withdrew it's delete vote here). It is a theme mainly covered in the Turkish pro-governmental press. There are even SETA sources included.

It requires some in-depth coverage of the topic by multiple indpendent wp:RS sources, with "multiple" usually meanign at least 2. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 14:33, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Rebuttal. The discussion is about notability. Not about whether it's OK that the protest is being misused by the Government. Also, in general, wiki guidelines allow sources in foreign languages. It also allows sources that some individuals may consider non-neutral, giving that the sources are used in a proper way. Nonetheless, I just added additional non-Turkish and non-Turkey sources to address your complaints. Randam (talk) 12:39, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep It is has good sources and you can find several english sources in google. And many notable events happened, include HDP reaction, Turkish first lady visit and growing numbers etc. Shadow4dark (talk) 06:48, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - plenty, plenty of coverage. And to be clear, the fact that most of the sources are non-English by no means disqualifies for notability. Article by Anadolu Agency (national press agency) [7] (googling ""Diyarbakır Anneleri" on site:aa.com.tr gives 8,750 hits), here an AA piece on COVID-19 impact on the protest: [8], piece on TRT (national TV channel) [9], CNN Türk piece on solidarity action in Srebenica with the protest [10], another CNN Türk piece on the protest [11] (in fact googling "Diyarbakır Anneleri" on site:cnnturk.com gives 380 hits), Hurriyet coverage on the protest (googling "Diyarbakır Anneleri" on site:hurriyet.com.tr gives 301 hits), coverage by Reuters [12], article in Evrensel (linked to Emek Partisi) on opposition leader/CHP chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu criticizing Labour Minister for visiting the protest site [13] etc, etc. --Soman (talk) 15:36, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

- @North8000, did you perform WP:BEFORE before nominating the article for deletion? --Soman (talk) 19:47, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Not that you should be asking that, but Yes. What is your purpose for asking? North8000 (talk) 20:15, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment' If somebody really wants to get this sorted out / establish that it should stay, it's not a matter of count of references mentioning it. They should find and point out 1-2 references suitable for wp:GNG] criteria (in depth coverage by wp:rs independent sources) or establish meeting special criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (events). Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 20:23, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Did you yourself search for possible sources before nominating the article? All the links in this edit (i.e. the articles in Der Tagesspiegel, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Die Tageszeitung, Libération, El País, Avvenire) qualifies as 'in depth coverage by wp:rs independent sources'. --Soman (talk) 20:39, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
I don't know how much you are into the Turkish/Kurdish ares as editors, but I must say the liberation source is the most respective source for now. It speaks of a Turkish Government propaganda for now, but the editor only uses it as to show an image of protesters before the HDP headquarters. In the image there are people depicted in front of the HDP headquarters protected by police. Protected by police! It is a strong opposition to the fact that people protesting against violence against women, or protesting against the dismissal of HDP mayors are being suppressed with very violent opposition by the police. It is an obvious State propaganda, that should be named as suchParadise Chronicle (talk) 22:39, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Paradise Chronicle, I'm not sure exactly what argument you're seeking to make, but the article was nominated for deletion for supposed lack of notability. The Yes or No question is whether there is in-dept coverage in independent third-party sources. I'd say that there is, and I think it has been demonstrated both in this AfD discussion. What you think of the politics or context of the event is irrelevant to whether it is notable or not. --Soman (talk) 12:55, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Regarding the AFD discussion, I think that the argument was that as such the sources may not be independent. Also I would imagine that a gauge of true independence of a source and wp:GNG-suitable depth of coverage is that they at least discuss the obvious possibility that this is a state-orchestrated phenomena. North8000 (talk) 15:01, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- So, in order to qualify as independent references they must align to your own POV? The term 'independent' is misused in this conversation and I think Wikipedia:Independent sources is a good reading. We wouldn't qualify a press release or a bulletine issued by the protest group as an independent, third party source. But we can't disqualify TRT, AA, Daily Sabah etc on the same criteria. We may use discretion in the way sources are presented, we may use caution in the way data and factoids from these sources are represented in the article mainspace (see Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Biased_or_opinionated_sources, "Wikipedia articles are required to present a neutral point of view. However, reliable sources are not required to be neutral, unbiased, or objective. Sometimes non-neutral sources are the best possible sources for supporting information about the different viewpoints held on a subject.") but they are by no means disqualified from being used to indicate notability. Regardless whether you dislike the protest or consider it politically illegitimate, if it is discussed in-dept across various news outlets with millions of viewers/readers it is notable to have a Wiki article of its own. --Soman (talk) 15:23, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Soman you are crossing the line. You are inventing things I didn't say and don't think in order to try to deprecate me and what I wrote. Neither you nor anybody has done the simple thing that would settle this in the way that you prefer. "find and point out 1-2 references suitable for wp:GNG] criteria (in depth coverage by wp:rs independent sources)" The others could look at and discuss those (including translating them if needed). It should be simple if they do indeed exist. If someone establishes that it has this type of coverage I would change my position to "keep" North8000 (talk) 15:40, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Also you you are mixing up two different criteria. The are that you quoting describes the criteria to be suitable in general for Wikipedia. The source criteria for establishing wp:notability are those listed at WP:Notability North8000 (talk) 15:45, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- No, you are the one misrepresenting the concepts. WP:GNG refers back to WP:RS (which I pointed to in the comment above). You nominated the article for deletion, seemingly without respecting WP:BEFORE, based on the argument "IMO does not satisfy not:news nor notability requirements under wp:gng or events". We established here that the protest is covered, not in passing but in articles where the protest is the main subject of the article, by TRT, Anadolu Agency, Daily Sabah, Evrensel, Hürriyet, Der Tagesspiegel, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Die Tageszeitung, Libération, El País, Avvenire, various Azerbaijani media, etc.. So WP:GNG should be an easy pass. So with WP:GNG ticked, what is the rationale to delete the article? --Soman (talk) 16:46, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- WP:GNG defines the type of coverage required to meet WP:GNG which is a higher standard than wp:RS in several respects, notably in depth coverage and independent. The vague statement "refers back to" could mean dozens of different things none of which affect the previous sentence and none of which or void the definition in WP:GNG. As I said before, if they exist, point out 1 or two sources that constitute such coverage and I would then become a proponent of keeping the article. North8000 (talk) 19:50, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- It's not "independent", it's "independent from the subject". Let's summarize:

- keep Still no identification of 1-2 independent sources with in depth coverage ("non-trivial mention" is not that) but based on Paradise Chronicle's assessment, and that they have found sourcing to add the "more objective overview" material which they added, I've switched my opinion to "keep". Again, 10 week old article has had a burst of new material and sources in the few days since it was nominated and so that also looks like a nice outcome of the process.

Non-notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 10:54, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Second nomination of this article. This is another case of "a non-notable band managing to stay on Wikipedia for way too long" disease. It has no sources and it has a notability tag since 2011. I have never heard about this band but I looked them up and I couldn't find anything else besides the unreliable databases, streaming service entries, retail sites, trivial mentions/name checks and blog sites. I found some album reviews scattered here and there but those sites do not look too reliable. I have found out that this article survived an AfD back in 2014 and the result was "no consensus". But since this is another example of a completely non-notable band, I sentence it to the second AfD. I said it before and I say it now: underground bands have no place on Wikipedia (of course there are exceptions) because there are no reliable sources. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 10:52, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- FYI/Comment - This article was created in 2008, the dark ages of Wikipedia, when it was tougher to catch new articles for review, particularly stubs merely announcing a band's existence. And it has taken a decade plus to track them all down and who knows how many thousands more are still lurking around.

- Redirect to Freddy Vachha (or alternatively to UK Independence Party#Leadership) - The coverage in reliable sources is of Freddy Vachha, but not the leadership contest per se. See 1 2 3. None of these even say who his competitors were or how many votes he received. This is no surprise as he ran unopposed and there was no vote (and as such, no actual contest). Whilst other leadership contests have ended without an actual vote being held (e.g., Michael Howard's emplacement as leader of the Conservatives) there was at least a contest and a process that arrived at them being declared leader - but in this case if there was such a process it is not covered in reliable sources.
- The party remains significant in as much as it still has councillors elected in various local seats around the country. Obviously "other stuff exists" isn't a great argument, but the other zombie parties of British politics (e.g., the Liberals, the BNP, and the SDP - all of whom hold/held local seats) no longer warrant articles for their leadership elections as no reliable sources covers them any more.

Non-notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 10:01, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- Portuguese black metal band which was formed by the members of Moonspell. While Moonspell is obviously notable, I think Dæmonarch is not. The article has a no sources tag on it since March 2008. I did a google search and the results were the following: the usual, unreliable sites like Discogs, Metal Archives, Spirit of Metal, Last.fm, BNR Metal Pages, Dark Lyrics, semi-reliable sites like Sputnik Music and Metal Storm, and unreliable stuff (again) like name checks, trivial mentions and blog/download sites. I also found an Allmusic biography which is a reliable source and a review of their only album on Metal.de, I am not sure about that site any more since I was told there is nothing reliable about it. I always thought it was reliable, it looks like a notable, reliable site but I am sidetracked now. So if Metal.de is notable, then with the Allmusic biography we have 2 reliable sources and I gladly withdraw my nomination. But since I am not sure about Metal.de anymore and one reliable source is not enough, therefore I sentence it to an AfD. It has an article on four Wikipedias as well but the sourcing is crappy on all of them, except the French one which cites some album reviews and the Allmusic biography. The best solution would be a redirect to Moonspell but I don't think this is notable for its own page. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 09:59, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

- Comment - The reason I said that Sputnik Music and Metal Storm are "semi-reliable" is because I think both of these sites are reliable only when the staff reviews an album of a band/interviews a band. Both of these sites contain user-generated comments/reviews as well which makes these sites unreliable. That's what I have heard (and I know these sites). But feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

- Keep: It seems like the Keep votes are based on a variation of WP:ITSACASTLE, i.e. ITSANOLDNEWSPAPER. Local newspapers are cultural institutions, and if they last for 150 years, they have historic significance.

The result was no consensus. While I see a weak consensus to delete, I wouldn't assume that a mass nomination would automatically succeed. Per WP:SSEFAR, there is no apparent difference in notability between this and any of the other codes, so I recommend a mass nomination to achieve a consistent result for everything.

This seems something that is well suited for Wikisource or something similar, but not for Wikipedia, as it just reproduces a code page, but doesn't provide commentary on it from secondary sources.

If this AfD is meant to be some kind of referendum on this class of articles, it would be better to have a discussion or RFC about what to do with these, perhaps in WP:COMPUTING, than an AfD on an new article few have watchlisted. Better to try to gain consensus first before a mass transwiki or a mass deletion. --

12:44, 23 June 2020 (UTC)- Each article must be able to stand on its own. If this one turns out to be lacking notability, then it may be time to look at the many other similar ones and see if they have the same problems. If this one turns out to be notable, then the sourcing provided to establish this may perhaps be useful for the other ones as well (assuming this one isn't an exception). We don't really need an RfC to deal with articles which don't meet the most basic standards (significant coverage in independent sources), RfCs are more useful for things where separate standards may be needed or a dispute about which sources are acceptable exists (e.g. WP:PORNBIO). This doesn't seem to be the case here, yet. In any case, my intention wouldn't be to get the other similar articles speedy deleted based on this precedent, but to bring the ones that seem to be similar to AfD as well, but then as a goup nomination. Fram (talk) 12:57, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- Here are my thoughts on deleting code page articles...
- I'd like to raise the visibility of this item, at least to a few users that regularly work on code page articles (@Alexlatham96:, @Spitzak:, @HarJIT:). Ideally I think it should be raised higher, maybe to the editors that watch the Code page list article.
- I think EBCDIC 389 should be marked a stub rather than deleted. That would provide time for others with more expertise to "provide commentary on it from secondary sources" if that's a requirement. (That could apply to other articles with only the code page number and name in the lede.)
- Another option might be to group detailed info (like the chset chart) of related code pages together. For example, code pages 382-395 (and a few others) are described as "EBCDIC Publishing" code pages. If someone can come up with commentary on what defines a "publishing" code page, they can become one, presumably notable article.
- I think even the slightest of these articles don't just "reproduce the code page" but also provides information on the relationship between this code page and Unicode. Information that isn't always available elsewhere. I know it's a niche topic but it's well sourced and is notable at least to an old computer software engineer like me. As my generation retires, and as all the old technical manuals and books get thrown away, this information will just vanish. I think it's useful to have the code page article available.
- Lastly, I have information/sources on around forty of the red linked code pages in the Code page list article. I think they should at least be stubs with code page number, name, and chset chart. I have no way of knowing which will be deemed notable. I guess I'll hold off until this discussion comes to some conclusion.

I would prefer to see a redirect to Code page over a deletion. Also, I added another source showing more information. Alexlatham96 (talk) 20:37, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- CommentI am still confused where does this show notability against wikipedia rules? WP:Nsoft It is long established that Wikipedia is not a primary source, nor a free wiki host. Wikipedia articles are not intended to be locations where primary source documentation for software packages is hosted, WP:Product - When discussion of its products and services would make the article unwieldy, some editorial judgment is called for. If the products and services are considered notable enough on their own, one option is to break out the discussion of them into a separate article following WP:Summary style. However I agree with DMCready, as the code needs to be retained, and without the code the EBDIC page is lacking the detail. However at the moment The code page is not exactly great. The code page covers more that just EBDIC, so making it way to long.User:Davidstewartharvey

- Breakdown of the actual sources used in the article now. The first one is from IBM, so not helpful to establish notability here.
- This is just a line in a table, nothing more, no additional information or commentary
- This again is from IBM, so not helpful for notability
- This is a gif reproducing the codepage. How this is supposed to show notability is not clear at all. Certainly not when you realise that this is the main page behind that. Not a reliable site, just a personal website.
- So what we have here that are supposedly "enough sources I call this notable" is one line in a table in a reliable, independent site, and that's it? Whch is not a surprise, given the total lack of sources for this otherwise[24][25]. Fram (talk) 07:33, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
Comment: I generally avoid creating new character encoding articles, on the basis that they often aren't strong enough to stand on their own, and on the basis that the first article I ever created, many years ago (3D Starfield) finished up being deleted, which put me off from creating new articles ever. Mostly, I've been working on the coverage of encodings with existing articles, and maybe covering variants of other encodings in the same article as the more widespread or standardised variant (vide, Code page 866, ISO/IEC 8859-5, JIS X 0201), creating appropriate redirects. Where possible, I'd much prefer to see articles merged and redirected, rather than deleted.
The sole exception to this is Code page 1057, which was previously a mistaken redirect to Symbol (typeface) (i.e. Code page 1038), and I figured that even if it did get deleted, that would still be better than a factually misleading redirect.
Regarding transwiki: the suggestion of Wikisource isn't really appropriate (the articles / tables are not reproducing a public domain text). Wikibooks or Wikiversity might be more sensible transwikis (since a lab handbook style textbook of character encoding mappings is a valuable resource, even if it does not constitute an encyclopedia). Although there is a Charset Wikia wiki, it is only in Korean, and not really in Wikia's rebranded "Fandom" scope anymore. Archive Team's File Format Wiki might also be an interested party worth contacting, since it has some rudimentary coverage of several character encodings, mostly just linking to the Wikipedia articles for the time being, although I daresay Archive Team of all groups would want the information to remain available even if it proves out of scope for Wikipedia. --HarJIT (talk) 11:53, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. The list is plainly notable and of encyclopedic interest, even if its current citation state leaves, ahem, much to be desired. Notability, as always, rests on the availability of reliable sources in the world for the article's subject (there are plenty), not on what is already in the article, and still less on what other articles ought to be (better) written.

- Comment I think some editors need to read WP:LISTN. Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been. Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable, although editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles. There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y") or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists, although non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations are touched upon in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability. Editors are still urged to demonstrate list notability via the grouping itself before creating stand-alone lists.User:Davidstewartharvey
- The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them, and they all say different things. Any list that includes non-notable items is in peril (to the point of certainty) of including fancruft and other types of nonsense. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:14, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- This is the only stand alone list standard on Wikipedia - as it says the list of subjects have to be notable. At this moment in time I do not see any notability of this list. If a Wikipedia article on the list already proves its notability within its own page it does not need to be referenced.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 07:37, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- No, LISTN doesn't say that it's the only standard, quite the opposite: "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group [emphasis added]...Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability." We have many articles on fictional deities, as seen in Category:Fictional deities. So this would seem to satisfy WP:LISTPURP (and that caveat in LISTN) as a navigational list. And where we have a list of articles, complaints about sourcing within the list are irrelevant to deletion, because the sole question is whether citations should be migrated over from the linked articles or not. Obviously they can be if editors want to, and if they don't want to we still know the sources exist, and so can't pretend the entries are unverifiable and use that as an excuse to delete the list. That's not using Wikipedia articles as sources, that's policy. postdlf (talk) 18:24, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:ARTN. I think that this page should be more focused on the concept of "Deities in fiction", with the list items serving as examples of some larger themes of how deities are used in fictional works. The current list is choppy and uneven, and I understand the point of view of the people currently saying Delete. But WP:ARTN says that the current state of the article does not diminish the subject's notability, and I think that it's obvious that the concept of "Deities in fiction" is a notable subject for an article. — Toughpigs (talk) 19:18, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

- Tripplehaze7, well, it's pretty simple: When I wrote "hack", I meant that in the sense of "working for hire especially with mediocre professional standards" or "a person who works or writes purely for the purpose of earning money." [31] was written by Suzie Ocie, whose bio says: " am a women’s rights activist, running junkie, and eternal marketing student. I help companies market their brand to millennials and gen z. ..." [32] is a press release. Note the mention of "vast high-profile media coverage".[33] was written by Saqib Malik, the "Chief editor" of clout, who "is an established technical expert with 9+ years of background in Web Development and Digital Marketing. His passion for helping people in all aspects of online marketing flows through in the expert industry coverage he provides..." [34] was written by Cormac Reynolds, for the Los Angeles Post-Examiner, who are reluctant to tell us who they are, per [35] "So who are we? Stay tuned." If you do your own search for Cormac Reynolds you'll find several people by that name. None of them is a real journalist, but we do find a "Content Marketer and SEO Link Builder" who has worked for the Baltimore Post Examiner, the parent company of our source. [36] barely mentions the subjec. It doesn't come close to what WP:NCORP requires. Best to just Ignore it. Now what's really interesting is the degree to which these tree article by Ocie, Malik and Reynolds, are the same. They copy each other or a template that was provided to them. That's how these PR/SEO writers operate; they don't investigate and do their own reporting. So yeah, hacks is a fair and accurate description.

- Comment: I don't know about Bangladesh specifically, but I have encountered articles referring to South Asian towns serving as tehsil-level district headquarters as "police stations", as in [revision of article] (I've since changed the wording to reflect this). So this article's subject may actually be a populated place and not just a police station. I'll have to do some digging and see if this is the case.3 kids in a trenchcoat (talk) 22:13, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Doh, the article itself says that the police station is located "at Shashibhushan village". And yes, the article is definitely talking about a literal police station. I don't know if the police station itself merits an article, but if so then I think it should be moved to "Shashibhushan Police Station" and in any case make the article "Shashibhushan" itself about the village. However, I couldn't really find anything about the village itself via Google (note that I also found it spelled as "Shashibussion", "Shashi Bhushan", or "Shashi Bhusan", and there may be other variants as well), so I'm not sure what the actual content of the article would be. Of course, there may well be other sources out there that we could use (especially in Bengali; I only searched in English), so I'm on the fence.3 kids in a trenchcoat (talk) 23:15, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- According to this source, Shashibhushan is one of the two Thanas carved out of the Char Fasson Upazila in 2012, consisting five union councils. That makes it an urban administrative unit, equivalent to Gulshan Thana or Halishahar Thana. Although the article seems to be only about the actual police station, it could serve as the page on the administrative unit since we don't have any other article on Shashibhushan Thana. In that case, the article has to be moved to Shashibhushan Thana per WP:BDPLACE. Pinging Emdad Tafsir to clarify. --Zayeem (talk) 17:15, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

It is often difficult to track because the name of the club, as mentioned in the coverage, changes with the club's sponsor, those sponsors being companies of one of Scotland's forefront businessmen. Searching for "Brightsiders" , "Glasgow Sports Division" and "Glasgow d2" brings up much coverage, especially during their most successful spell in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Recent coverage is less available because this club has only recently reformed at this level. The club may be in the third tier presently, however they have previously won four national titles in Scotland including the league and the National Cup competition on multiple occasions. Murdeigh (talk) 20:15, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep As Murdeigh points out, the team has altered its name throughout its history due to sponsorships changes. A search under those names do turn up considerable sources. While a third-tier team today, it was one of the best basketball teams in Scotland during its height, winning the national title and several Cup titles. Alvaldi (talk) 08:00, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep seems to pass WP:GNG with the sources in the article alone, I would have accepted this from AfC. SportingFlyer T·C 15:39, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- I have no issues with you saying this should be kept since it meets GNG. But accepting at AfC simply means that it's "likely" to survive at AfD. This is a far lower standard than even the presumed notability which causes us so much angst. Some number of AfC accepts can end up deleted and that AfC reviewer would still be doing a good job. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:55, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Barkeep49: Just to be absolutely clear, my AfC comment has no bearing on whether it's notable - it's notable since WP:GNG is met. Since you noted in the nom that it was created at AfC, I was simply trying to note that I agree with whoever accepted the article, if they were to see the AfD - not that this should be kept because it was accepted at AfC. (I think I've mentioned to you before my general standard for accepting articles at AfC - interpreting the "likely to be kept" standard - is if I would !vote keep on them at AfD. There are some minor exceptions, but anything less and you're better off leaving a comment on how the article could be improved.) SportingFlyer T·C 03:47, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Keep Evidence of notability now in place. User:Davidstewartharvey
- Keep - Looking at the article as it currently stands it would seem the team meets notability on its historical achievements as Scottish champions and cup winners. I think, as has been said elsewhere, an issue is that the team has gone under other names in the past and this has caused some confusion. Dunarc (talk) 20:15, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

- Merge to Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Directorate. It's a thing, but not a really notable one - basically a mid-level organizational subdivision of NASA. I don't think we should treat this differently than a similar center at an academic institution; which means that it can be treated to a suitable extent in the article on the parent (in this case, whatever higher-level NASA division is considered notable - seems to be the one I linked), but it needs independent coverage for a stand-alone article. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 01:43, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. This article is apparently about a film, but barely has any information. Only the director's name is mentioned -- none of the cast or other crew are identified, nor is any description of the plot given. The only source provided is the film's IMDb page, which is similarly lacking in information (no cast or crew other than the director), but which contradicts this article about the film's year of release. This article says the film was from 1965, while IMDb says it was from 1985. The bulk of this article appears to be, if I understand it correctly, a list of other films which happen to be in the same language (Maithili). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:17, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Semi-advertorialized article about an organization, not properly referenced as passing WP:ORGDEPTH. Six of the ten footnotes here are primary sources that are not support for notability at all -- for example, funding a research paper is not a notability claim if your source for it is the research paper itself, rather than journalism or analysis being done about the research paper to establish its significance -- and three more are just glancing namechecks of its existence in books that contain no significant or substantive content about it. There's only one source here that's actually both reliable and contains an actual full paragraph of content about the organization -- but one decent source is not enough all by itself if all nine other footnotes are non-notability-supporting junk.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The article appears to be unfit for Wikipedia from the standpoints of both WP:N and WP:TABLOID. Within the article itself, there are four citations from three websites, all of which are either tabloids or tabloid-adjacent. I do not believe that her social media use, activism, tattoo collection, modelling, proclivity for (vegan) pizza, or her general eccentricity merit inclusion on Wikipedia due to a lack of credible coverage outside of tabloid fodder, and therefore a lack of notability.
Furthermore, the account who created the Aleen N. Johnson page, Ndweasf (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), has not made any edits to Wikipedia outside of direct association with the Aleen N. Johnson page. The fact that a single-purpose account is behind the article harms the article's viability here.
Her relationship with Playboy could carry notability, but is so far the only implication of such. If Johnson must be proven as Wiki-notable, there needs to be a heavy expansion to her article that includes plenty of cited information from non-tabloid, non-social media sources. Otherwise, toss it.

- Delete the tabloid nature of the sources disqualifies the article. It is also so far past time we make it so single purpose accounts cannot create new articles this is just unacceptable. Creating new articles should not be the first edit anyone does. We really need to start making every article go through the articles for creation process. It is way past time we stopped making it significantly easier to create articles than to delete them.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:51, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- Good idea overall. I like that, for example, IPs cannot make articles anymore. I do believe, however, that the Articles for Creation process should be made optional for experienced editors who have proven through competence and a history of positive contribution to Wikipedia that they are here to build an encyclopedia. I believe the qualifications can be similar to editing semi-protected pages (only upon autoconfirmation, when four days and ten edits have transpired); the qualifications could possibly even be taller than that. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 05:00, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete The playboy magazine might have been notable attention, but the content is just interviews - it seems all of the sources I can find on her are tabloids and/or non-indpendent/non-secondary interviews, so she doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. She has international coverage too, so it's possible some of those sources could be reliable, but I doubt it from all of the English sources I've seen. - Whisperjanes (talk) 01:13, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

This one has a strange pattern of GHits because the interchange is routinely referred to in anything having to do with the highways which meet there. Otherwise there are clickbait levels of hits, except that there are a few news items mixed in which tell the story. The key is this story about erecting signs naming the intersection, in which it is revealed that Wicks had a ranch here, and in later years a tavern/stage stop. A year ago the house burned down.

- Very regretful delete - At a time when the language and culture of the Uighur people of Xinjiang are being eradicated by the Chinese government, I do not like to delete any article about any aspect of Uighur culture. As an example of the oppression I am talking about, I understand that the director of this film - previously someone who supported the Chinese government - has been imprisoned simply for having (in 2005) signed a petition about protecting the Uighur language. However, unfortunately I cannot find any coverage in reliable sources of this film at all. Perhaps if the Chinese name could be identified then reviews in Chinese might be found, but I could find nothing in English or Uighur.

- I think it is safe to say that since I created the article two years ago Electrek has evolved differently than I had expected. I am however unsure whether this means that the article is not notable. Regarding its actual reporting Arstechnica has something to day - and mainstream media cites Electrek often enough: [39], [40], [41], [42], [43]. Since the article creation also some notable, negative sentiment about Electrek has surfaced, [44]. Looking forward, I am concerned about Electrek as a news media when its main writer inserts themselves into some kind of pro- vs anti-Tesla debate with an op-ed like this [45] - which does not contribute to seeing its future reporting as objective. But these various observations seems to me to establish notability, rather than the opposite. Lklundin (talk) 08:57, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

I would also like to call attention to the point that I made earlier regarding how Electrek's editor in chief admitted to owning a number of shares in Tesla. Therefore, the purported "divestment" statement currently on the Wikipedia entry is inaccurate. If we were to remove that sentence, the article becomes even more meager.

- Very Weak Keep My gut feel is that any site that is quoted as much as this one and is discussed by others, even in controversial terms, is probably notable. I don't think the site is reliable and if Tesla goes under it might follow. But my general feeling is Wikipedia can err on the side of keeping topics alive vs not. Another way to put it, my gut feeling is there is enough RS content about Electrek to justify an article even if we currently don't have enough in the Wikipedia article to justify it's current existence.

Non-notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 17:45, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
Non notable band. I just found out that the article survived an AfD back in 2010 and the article stayed because there are "good sources". Well I did not find any. The article itself has abysmal sourcing, nothing that indicates any notability - their Myspace pages and the site of their record label. I did a Google search and I found nothing about Synical at all, only stuff that has the word "cynical" but not about the band itself nor is it spelled with an S. They seem to have released a single album in 2000 according to Discogs but it seems like this album have gotten unnoticed, and Discogs is not a RS anyway. (By the way I find it weird that a band that is supposedly active since 1989 only managed to do one single album which have gotten unnoticed, I have a suspicion that this group actually split up a long time ago). I also tried searching with quotation marks but the results are still not any better. There are now a few sources that are about the band but they are also the unreliable stuff like Spotify, Discogs and Rate Your Music. The rest of them are an Amazon page, dictionary definitions, SoundCloud, song lyrics and lots of mentions of this word (in this form) but not about the band at all. The article states that they released their debut album in 2012 - I did not found anything about it either, and second, they released a self-titled album in 2000. This is really confusing to me now. Maybe that album was just an EP and this 2012 album is their studio album... I don't know. Still a non-notable band anyway. :) The article also has multiple issues, which is not a good sign either. Frankly I don't know how this article managed to stay here in the first AfD. So I think this is not a notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 17:38, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

An article about a Ukranian filmmaker that seems to be native advertising. It was created by a sockpuppet of a now blocked undeclared paid editor and also edited by the sockmaster. None of the director's films have Wikipedia articles and the sources of this article are mainly from the minor film festivals that played his films with hundreds of others. Any reliable sources coverage is minor and not significant and therefore WP:BASIC is not passed, and WP:PROMO is also a factor. Atlantic306 (talk) 00:35, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

I've looked for reliable sources to establish notability of this subject, to no avail. I think it fails the General Notability Guideline for people. Regarding the subject-specific guideline for music and the phrase "multi-platinum", the subject isn't the named celebrity on these works--they're support personnel. Notability isn't inherited. Let's discuss. Scottyoak2 (talk) 00:12, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
