The result was delete. So many short meaningless and non policy based votes here from users who do not regularly come to AFD. Where have they come from? Regardless votes not engaging with policy are a corded less weight then those that do so the outcome is clear. Spartaz Humbug! 02:37, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

What is the point of this list? It's not a notable subject or even a proper topic, it's just an indiscriminate list of crap; see WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Richard75 (talk) 23:44, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- keep. social-media-driven deletion. no thanks. --Deansfa (talk) 00:07, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- That comment doesn't address the issue though. Richard75 (talk) 00:13, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep As nominator the onus should be on @Richard75 to explain why it's indiscriminate or not notable; just saying so doesn't help other editors to understand your rationale (nor do words like "not...a proper topic" or "crap"). It doesn't fit into any of the categories listed at WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and this is a pretty tightly defined list. Nor does it meet, say WP:NOTDIRECTORY which might have been a more relevant choice but still weak sauce. Oblivy (talk) 02:24, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: Useful encyclopedic content. ɱ (talk) 03:41, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- WP:USEFUL is not a great 'keep' reason Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 19:52, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete for failing WP:NLIST: never considered as a group. Every life peer is a one-shot deal, and a lot of tinpot dictators gave themselves or were given grandiose titles, e.g. Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution, Eternal President. Many officials of short-lived states would qualify, e.g. President of the Confederate States of America. (Also delete Category:Titles held only by one person?) Clarityfiend (talk) 05:30, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Clarityfiend you make a good point about WP:NLIST as there's no source talking about this group as a group (as an aside, I'd love to see List of Embalmed Political Figures on Public Display which would definitely pass NLIST). Maybe there's an article about these names - I gave it a quick look and couldn't find one but that's not conclusive. If that's the sticking point, then I suppose I'd go with WP:AIR.
- You're 100% right that this list illustrates how leaders give themselves grandiose titles, or states/kingdoms last so briefly only one person gets the title. Aside from a few marginal cases, your slippery slope doesn't seem to have happened, though. Maybe the answer is a better definition of the category, to exclude things like life peer names and self-proclaimed kingdoms (should exclude Emperor Norton and potentially modern folks like Romana Didulo). I'd be OK with Jefferson Davis making the list. Oblivy (talk) 06:40, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. User:Iggypoptarts 21 August 2023 - completely disagree that this article isn’t noteworthy. I believe it shows interesting parallels across various cultures and times and is a worthy jumping off point into a number of interesting figures and histories. The article has also sat untouched for many months and only received criticism when it was highlighted by the twitter account Depths of Wikipedia.

- What does that even mean? Richard75 (talk) 00:17, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. The criterion for inclusion in this list (titles, ranks, "other official positions of authority that have only ever been held by one person") has not itself received coverage and thus fails NLIST. Determination of whether any given subject even meets this criterion seems to be arbitrary and at the discretion of individual editors rather than requiring sourced RS statements that explicitly note the title was a one-off. There also does not appear to be a consistent distinction between epithets, purely descriptive terms, popular nicknames, sundry self-assigned designations by authoritarians, and actual official titles. Nor is there any cohesion between the entries other than their holding "titles" of vastly differing importance, attestation, general recognition, legitimacy, and sourced acknowledgement of uniqueness. A similar 20-page list of nicknames of European royalty and nobility was deleted last year on OR and LISTN grounds. JoelleJay (talk) 01:19, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Clearly fails WP:NLIST; enough arguments have been provided above. Such a list hardly makes sense, and should be deleted. Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 13:42, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete fails NLIST and INDISCRIMINATE per above. No sources discuss the group of "titles that had one holder" as a group, for the obvious reason that this is a nonsensical set whose members have next to nothing to do with each other. AryKun (talk) 14:32, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete specifically as failing SELCRIT. We cannot say that a list's criteria are "unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources" when, as JoelleJay points out,
There also does not appear to be a consistent distinction between epithets, purely descriptive terms, popular nicknames, sundry self-assigned designations by authoritarians, and actual official titles.
As an AtD, rename the list to List of offices held only by one person and purge the [bleep] like Emperor Norton and other self-aggrandisement (or in the case of Peron and Kim, posthumous-aggrandisement). Cheers, Last1in (talk) 18:44, 23 August 2023 (UTC) - Delete --- This fails NLIST and INDISCRIMINATE as given above. The group has no coverage as a group (even if small subgroups do, these are groups such as "authoritarians who gave themselves honors" and not anyone who has been the sole holder of a title). The list here is so wide in scope as to include democratic offices which were abolished without a second holder, offices that do exist but still have their first holder, epithets made up by people who apply them to themselves ("Emperor Norton"), British peerages that were not inherited (there are thousands that could be added), etc. D.

- comment Two points in support:
- regarding NLIST, this tendency for powerful leaders give themselves has been noted as a group. The article doesn't cite any soures, but I did a quick search and here are two examples:
- Michele Ferrero, The Latin Translations of Confucian Terminology on Government and Rule in a 16th Century Manuscript of Michele Ruggieri, S.J., in Empire and Politics In the Eastern and Western Civilizations Vol. 2(2002) pp.86-87 [1]
"In recent history we have had certain titles that have come to be associated with spe cific people, not with a specific role in an institution. Il Duce (Mussolini), der Führer (Hitler), The Great Helmsman or The Chairman (Mao), El líder máximo (Castro), Vozhd, ‘leader’ (Stalin), Maršal, Serbian for ‘general’ or ‘leader’ (Tito), El caudillo de España, ‘the Chieftain of Spain’ (Franco), Dear Leader (KimJong-il), Coronel (Gaddafi). From the outside it seems each one of these leaderssought out a unique way to be called by this own people."
- Chicago Sun Times, A Military Parade Would Only Be to Honor Celebrate and Defend Trump (Feb. 2018)[2] ("military parades...are always about the man — “dear leader” or “der fuhrer” or “il duce,” etc.")
- Michele Ferrero, The Latin Translations of Confucian Terminology on Government and Rule in a 16th Century Manuscript of Michele Ruggieri, S.J., in Empire and Politics In the Eastern and Western Civilizations Vol. 2(2002) pp.86-87 [1]
- Ferrero has published more than once on this point, but I only included one citation.
- there has been some limited discussion (credit @Clarityfiend and @JoelleJay) of why this list definition is unmanageably broad, but I suggest a reasonable approach to this issue would be not to delete the article but to split it into two sections - short, single monarch/leader regimes, and cult-of-personality dictator names (not the actual section titles, but the theme). Note that there's already an article on List of titles used by dictators which could be merged into the 2nd list.
- Oblivy (talk) 01:36, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Or we should just delete this list and keep the dictators list, which is the only topic to which the sources you found would apply anyway. JoelleJay (talk) 17:25, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Article about a short film, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NFILM. The only notability claim in evidence here is that the film exists, which isn't automatically enough in the absence of a WP:GNG-worthy volume of third-party media coverage about the film to externally validate its significance -- but the sourcing consists of two directory entries that aren't support for notability at all, and one short blurb on a blog that doesn't represent enough coverage to vault this over GNG all by itself.
In fact, I strongly suspect that this was really meant as a WP:COATRACK for the soundtrack album, since the creator's edit history pertains much more strongly to music (including the band credited with the soundtrack's creation) than it does to film -- but albums aren't "inherently" notable just because they exist either, and still have to be shown to have GNG-worthy reliable source coverage about them, but absolutely none of the sourcing here addresses any potential notability under WP:NMUSIC either.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt this film, or its soundtrack album, from having to be the subject of quite a bit more media coverage and analysis than this. Bearcat (talk) 13:28, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Propose deletion or merging into Union for Reform Judaism, the parent organization. Non-notable arm of a larger movement, has been defunct for 15 years, with no WP:SIGCOV that would justify a stand alone article.

- Merge somewhat selectively and without prejudice into Union for Reform Judaism#History. Kudos to nom for nominating (even though nominated 2 years ago – usually not a good idea, this time it was) and suggesting an ATD. This SPINOUT is yet another example of excessive fragmentation! Previous debate was as usual down the rabbit hole of notability. People forget that we also govern information through AfDs :-( gidonb (talk) 17:45, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- I objected to the merge-without-discussion based solely on the article's content making some claims of notability--didn't see the previous AFD at the time. Indeed it's (still) hard to find sources due to the name itself and its fading into the past. Found a few details:
- Had national conventions.[6] Not an independent source, but sufficient for the claim and demonstrates that the group at the time did at least some major things.
- Was the only formal Reform-centric outreach/project for the approximately-college-age demographic.[7] Independent ref that specifically makes that analysis (New Voices (magazine) is itself a notable publication), and the fact that this commentary focuses on it adds notability itself.
- I'm torn, as it seems to have some but not major notability, and that is mostly as a project or sub-organization of URJ. Given that it morphed from "part of URJ" to "fore-runner of, or remnants absorbed by, Birthright Foundation" (each of those has own article), it's an intersection-topic. I tilt towards keeping such pages as stand-alone because it increases navigability and prevents it from gradually getting discarded altogether from the merge-target. So I see "barely keepable" on notability grounds and "somewhat useful to have" on editorial grounds. DMacks (talk) 17:55, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I propose that the article on Andrea Jin, a Canadian comedian, be deleted. The subject of this article does not appear to meet the [Notability guidelines for entertainers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Entertainers_and_broadcasters), specifically the criteria for comedians.
While Jin is a self proclaimed comedian, the article does not provide reliable secondary sources that discuss her in detail (literally only one paragraph), nor does it demonstrate that she has made significant, recognized contributions to the field of comedy. Only one secondary reference is in English. The only other primary link is to her website which is not considered independent, reliable sources according to Wikipedia's [guidelines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources).
From the information presented, it seems that this article may have been created primarily for promotional purposes rather than as an informative entry. Therefore, it may fall under Wikipedia's [guidelines on promotional content and advertising](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox_or_means_of_promotion).
I encourage other editors to contribute to this discussion so we can reach a consensus on the best course of action. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.231.121.150 (talk • contribs)

- Keep. Quite aside from the fact that you've done many, many things incorrectly here which have had to be corrected, including creating the discussion page in talk space, not formatting it correctly and not even linking to Wikipedia guidelines correctly, you're not even reading the guidelines correctly in the first place.
There's nothing "promotional" in the article's tone, for starters, and even more importantly the notability guidelines for comedians most certainly are met by having won a top-level award like the Juno Awards — the Junos are one of those top-level national awards that are in and of themselves an automatic notability clinch for the winners per "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor", and that's not up for any debate. Could the article be better? Yeah, I'll grant that in its current form it isn't very long and could potentially be expanded with more information. But is it unacceptable in its existing state? Not at all. And furthermore, it does not matter whether references are in English or not — as long as references are reliable, we simply don't care what language they are or aren't written in at all.
I'd also be remiss if I didn't point out that trying to nominate this for deletion was your first Wikipedia edit ever under this IP number, suggesting that you have ulterior motives that have nothing to do with Wikipedia's guidelines, such as personal animus against Andrea Jin for reasons that are absolutely none of our concern.

It feels like lots of pages are getting nominated lately for being shit and in need of vast improvement, which isn't what AfDs are for.

- Wikipedia is supposed to be a general purpose encyclopedia, but a lot of GAs are mostly nonessential stuff like TV shows, movies and video games that will only be useful to a minority of people, wikipedia should be focusing on getting all vital articles GA or higher.

- Comment concur; a quick check of GNews on a couple of noms brings up some hits (admittedly not top quality) but that's Before 101. @Grandmaster Huon should not "doubt" that it meets the standard but should check first. It feels like lots of pages are getting nominated lately for being shit and in need of vast improvement, which isn't what AfDs are for. The subject is a magnet for fancruft and it doesn't help that there are hundreds of versions of many characters but again, not what AfDs are for. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 17:21, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

I am not even sure how to describe how bad this is, reads like a social media comment, fails SIGCOV and likely RS. Given no reception/analysis in the article, and if those are the best sources found, this is an easy delete or prefered, redirect (I like SOFTDELETE).

- Delete and possibly disambiguate per WP:DABMENTION as there are multiple variants of the character mentioned in various media. Most of the comments here are disappointing WP:ADHOMINEM arguments, which aren't proper for AfD. Ignoring all the arguments to the person and focusing solely on the character themselves, the sources presented here as supposedly definitive evidence are extremely weak and insufficient to pass WP:GNG. CBR, in particular, writes about almost everything. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:17, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Taking the high road while putting words like "supposedly definitive evidence" in people's mouths is a bold move, certainly.

- Valnet sources are widely known as content farms, it's telling that the main source for every Transformer article nominated for deletion is a CBR one. Content farms, by definition, have no editorial discretion and write about as many pieces of fictional content as possible from a popular franchise.

- In the case of CBR, isn't it frequently used as a source to begin with? It's still allowed on the site to my knowledge, and I've seen it used on Wikipedia articles before. While I've mostly been sticking out of properly voting in these Transformers discussions, the CBR article provided for Scorponok does have something to say about the character, so I'd say it's viable, in this instance.

It's not the job of us at the AfDs to write these articles or improve them, only to decide on outcomes of what is kept and what stays.

Pokelego999 (talk) 22:41, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- movieweb source is a poor quality listicle. bleedingcool entry is a review of a single toy. cbr is another weak listicle. IGN is not even a review but a short note about a preorder for another toy. If this is the best that was found - sorry, this is very bad. Given that the article itself has nothing better (no reception/analysis sections), GNG has not been estabilished by either the article or the discusion here, and so my vote is to redirect this to Autobot or a list of relevant charcter. Technically you can also consider my vote as one for delete but with preference for WP:SOFTDELETE. IF better sources are found, ping me and I'll review them. But, @BoomboxTestarossa, with all due respect, WP:GOOGLEHITS are not a good way to argue that something is notable.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Contested PROD.
My rationale As far as I am aware, we don't split the matches from the season article unless there are issues with the article length for the parent article. Looking at 2023 IFK Norrköping season, I can't see how that would be the case. That article is way shorter than any of the season articles at WP:FA, such as 1994–95 Gillingham F.C. season, so I see no reason for this split. Also, the current content duplicates what is already in the parent article.
Contested with I am asking to keep this page because the acticle contains 30 games, and each game conatains multiple lines, therefore it is a headache to update a single match, while when it is outside the article, we may use subtitles and therefore subsections, which help find the right match easier. Thanks.
The fact that the season contains 30 games is not sufficient for a split imho. Every Premier League team plays 38 league games and several cup games a season and we never split the matches out. I have consulted WP:SIZESPLIT for guidance and, at 20KB, the article 2023 IFK Norrköping season does not meet criteria for a split based on size and I don't see any other valid reason. If consensus is that we do indeed need to split the matches into a separate article then I think that this will have repercussions for most if not all season articles moving forward.

- Well maybe it is time to start splitting these articles. Mind for example 2022–23 UEFA Champions League where each Group was separated. It does make life so much easier to use separate page for template-base articles, especially when one needs to update half-season-back (April-August) on realtime. If there's a possibility to keep it that way, or maybe even make it the new Standard for a 2023 world, why not? Anderssøn79 🦔 (talk) 🦔 💛💙 13:40, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - based on text like "This subpage is intended to make edits easier. After each match played, please update the following tags:", this seems to be some sort of weird sandbox thing (in article space) rather than a genuine attempt to split the article? As per the nom, I can see no rational reason to split the list of matches from a season out into a "subpage"...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:31, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Good point! I would have no objection to the content being moved to, say, User:Anderssøn79/sandbox/2023 IFK Norrköping season or similar but just don't see the need for it in mainspace. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 19:43, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: I am not persuaded that a split is necessary, nor that it is desirable. This article cannot be a list per se, nor can it be an article. I appreciate the creating editor's intentions, but we have no requirement for the implementation. I am further concerned that it is a "Mainspace Sandbox" with request to use templates that do not belong in articles. It has no references. It is a WP:POVFORK, and fails WP:MOS and WP:V. WP:N is only passed if part of the parent article on the team. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:23, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete or move to userspace if the user wants it. We don't have separate articles for matches, not a valid WP:SPLIT. And this looks like a sandbox article (with how-to instructions), not an encyclopedic article. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:56, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

- Comment This has now become a mess. Anderssøn79 has moved it to their sandbox, one of the possible putcomes of this discussion, and has removed the AfD notice, limiting potential discussion. Regardless of what takes plave in their sandbox I suggest:
- That this be allowed to reach a conclusion and a formal closure regardless ofthe location of the user sandbox
- That a non involved admin (in view of the mess I do not believe non admin closure to be appropriate) considers early closure, simply to seek to prevent any further mess. This might be an IAR closure.

The review notes: "“Time of Death” is powerful stuff and difficult to watch. It’s also impossible not to admire the courage and generosity of all those who agreed to be filmed during such a time. The unifying effect of the stricken may offer the strongest proof of our essential humanity — watching a man apologize for his sins with his final breaths, we eagerly forgive just as we would be forgiven. Still, “Time of Death” is so determined to celebrate the power of a “good” death that it often tidies away the very things that makes bedside vigils so inspiring. The grimmer realities of the dying body are not dealt with — there isn’t an adult diaper in sight — and with the exception of Maria, no voice is raised except in song."

The review notes: "I watched all the episodes consecutively and came away exhausted, but I also came away with a sense of comfort that I still can’t quite describe. It was gratitude, in part, to the subjects and their families for letting the cameras in. “Time of Death” is vital and meaningful television; if you watch, I hope it gives you the same peace and understanding it gave me."

The review notes: "The tone is unobtrusive, although occasionally the voice of an interviewer is present, coaxing the subjects. Executive producers used small crews embedded with the subjects to track these stories, from doctors’ offices and hospitals to homes, all the way to deathbeds. The camera is discreet, cutting away at the very end, giving privacy when taste requires. The families involved are brave in ways not required of ordinary “reality TV” subjects. Even when they appear to be speaking for the camera, the situations are not manipulated. The impact is quite powerful."

The result was keep. I don't love the UPE aspect here, but as the argument for deletion rests on the history, rather than the present state of the article and the state of the sourcing, I don't see how another conclusion is possible. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:42, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Article was written by a globally locked account from a large UPE spam sockfarm. No substantive edits by anyone else, so would be eligible for WP:G5, but it survived a previous AfD discussion (only just), with two of the keep !voters noting that it needs a rewrite. In situations like this I think it is better to delete the spam version per WP:TNT and let someone who is acting in good faith recreate the article if and when they want to. Pinging the folk who !voted in the last discussion: Worldiswide, Siroxo, Citadeol, DareshMohan, Aviram7, Ravensfire, Actualcpscm, and closing admin Liz.

- Comment: I have made some changes, particularly to clean up the citations in the article and to remove puffery and improperly sourced content; does this address your TNT/spam concerns? If that's resolved, are there any additional reasons deletion would be necessary? Thanks for your time. Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 11:49, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Siroxo @Girth Summit Thoughts? :) Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 12:04, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'd welcome some clean-up of the article, but since the notability question seemed to be finely balanced in the last discussion I think it would be worth coming to a firm conclusion about that now that everyone is aware of the context. I'll say one thing: one trick that some UPE spammers like to pull is to write negatively slanted articles about people, and then blackmail them into paying them to get the article 'fixed'. I don't know if that is the case here, but I note that the largest section in the article is entitled '2021 Controversy' (improperly capitalised, naturally), in which he was arrested then cleared of all charges. Is that WP:DUE, I wonder? Was it put in there by spammers hoping to get payment to remove/rewrite it later? Is anyone else going to be watching the article to check? I'm just saying that low-notability BLPs written by spammers are a major attack vector. Girth Summit (blether) 12:06, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Makes sense. Re. notability, I‘ll do a source assessment a bit later.
- I wasn‘t aware of the UPE blackmail scam you describe. It is weird that the article omitted both Khan‘s innocence („cleared of all charges“) and the fact that the entire investigation may have been a set-up. Certainly concerning. Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 12:09, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Comments: I just went through the sources in the article in order until 22, then picked a few others to evaluate here as well. I think this is sufficient for making my case for keeping, see below. Table by Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 13:25, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. If we disregard the coverage that's just of the event (the drug case), there's probably still enough here for WP:BASIC. WP:NACTOR is also met with the roles in Incredibles and The Lion King. Regarding WP:BLP1E, condition 1 is not met (reliable sources have covered Khan outside the event), and neither is condition 2 – Khan is not likely to remain a low-profile individual, so coverage of Khan in the context of the event contributes to notability. Remember that WP:BASIC allows us to combine non-SIGCOV coverage from multiple sources to establish notability, even though that may not even be necessary here. WP:BIO1E indicates that separate articles on both him and the event are probably appropriate, so I wouldn't oppose a split. Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 13:25, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Will do a deeper look later, but wanted to point out that the Lion King and Incredible roles are both dubbing. I question if that meets the NACTOR significant role criteria. Ravensfire (talk) 19:01, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- I assumed it does, at least for such a widely-distributed dub (there are over half a billion native speakers of Hindi). If it doesn‘t, the NACTOR threshold may not be fulfilled, but per WP:BASIC:
People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria below
, and we have enough for BASIC. Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 19:09, 20 August 2023 (UTC) - Regarding dubbing, given how community consensus has explicitly moved various forms of acting/entertainment into the the NACTOR criteria over the years, I believe voice acting for the purposes of dubbing should fall in to that bucket, absent a clear consensus in the other direction.
- As for significant, specifically, I think that needs to be a case-by-case thing. Various forms of acting themselves come in so many flavors, I think us as editors picking and choosing which types of acting/entertainment can be considered significant would be a violation of NPOV. As such, as with every other form of acting/entertaining, we need to examine the specific performances to determine whether they are significant. (And in this case Actualcpscm) has probably made the case here better than I did in the previous AfD)
- All that said, for this specific AfD discussion I am sympathetic to Girth Summit's concerns, but I guess I am making it clear I support re-creation of this article by a good faith editor once those concerns are addressed. —siroχo 19:37, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

- I will admit, I am not up-to-date on the modern scams targeting subjects of Wikipedia articles. Nor am I familiar enough with the specific subject at this time to evaluate WP:DUE for this article. As such, I am deferring to the editor concerned about the specific issues, as to me they sound like legitimate concerns.

- If the community is satisfied that notability has been established, and that the article has been cleaned up and uses reliable sources, then no it doesn't need to be deleted and recreated (although some early versions may warrant revdeletion for the BLP concerns).

However, I think the concept of a Terminal 5 MRT station has attracted significant attention and so passes notability guidelines, and it would be good to preserve the history as this content would likely be included in any Termainl 5 station article anyway Garuda3 (talk) 11:44, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- I concede there are actually plans for a station to serve T5, but it's pretty much conjecture for everything at the moment, including the name. The content could be shifted to TEL or CRL under future plans to extend to Terminal 5.--ZKang123 (talk) 11:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- While it is true that none of the plans including many of its details are not set in stone. There has been considerable proof of the existence of the station and it's name. The name can be a tentative one and can edited to include that.Such as in the Land transport master plan 2040. This should not be a part of the TEL or CRL as part of extention as it is basically confirmed to be it's own station. If stations such as sungei kadut have a page I see why not this cannot have its own page. More disclaimers can simply be added to indicate to readers that these are not 100% confirmed.

Redirect to Jefferson Public Radio. This station is just a rebroadcaster of that network and originates no programming.Flip Format (talk) 17:54, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Redirect to Jefferson Public Radio for now. Granted, I do think this would be an {{R with possibilities}};I'd think that a station that has been around since ~1940, and (as far as I can find) has only been part of a public radio network since 1991, should potentially have more sourceable content and potential notability (which is not temporary, of course). As it stands, though, this is another one of those stubs written in 2011 (replacing a preexisting redirect to Jefferson Public Radio) when our (over)presumption of notability in this topic area was still so overly broad that we were creating stubs on seemingly every transmitter of the public radio networks, even if they have never had any separate on-air content (and that was largely curtailed even before GNG enforcement was stepped up in 2021). If this were created as-is today, it would probably be redirected within days or even hours, without the need for AfD.

- Why? There's every chance there are even more sources out there (I haven't done a full check, but then I didn't nominate if for AfD without doing Before); what's your rush? With other noms and your apparent confession that you don't actually know what AfDs are *for* it's not adding up to a good look. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 17:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- I definitely agree with what Boombox is getting at here. You're new to AfDs, and thus I can forgive making mistakes. (I mean, I was the guy who nominated like sixty in a day once) But really, there is no rush. These articles have existed for years on Wikipedia, and typically if they've been lying around for that long, then you can wait a bit to perform a BEFORE in advance.
- In the future, when nominating articles, perform a BEFORE. A BEFORE basically means looking for sources prior to deletion. Are there sources in News articles about the subject? Are there sources in books or scholarly sources? If you can find enough sources that say something about the subject to justify a separate article, then it doesn't need an AfD and you can use those sources to further improve the article. Try to avoid trivial mentions, as those typically don't have much to say about the subject in question. Look for sources that really say something about them.
- If an article needs reworking or a cleanup, I'd suggest trying your hand at it, or suggesting improvements on the article talk page. I'm a bit more unfamiliar with this kind of thing, so I can't really suggest more than that, but the motto when it comes to Wikipedia is improvement before deletion. Try your best to patch up the article before nominating it. If you really can't find anything at all, then the article likely can't be improved and should be nominated. I say likely because some exceptions exist, but that's a rabbit hole I feel will confuse more than anything else.
- But yeah, TLDR, search for sources beforehand, and try to improve an article before nominating. Just a scroll here should show that we do delete articles that genuinely aren't able to meet the article criteria, but it shouldn't be used as a way to request improvement. Establish if an article meets the criteria, and then work from there. Pokelego999 (talk) 20:27, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

- The first two sources seem ok-ihs, the other two I'd call unreliable or just too poor (SIGCOV failing). The character may be notable, but this really could use a WP:TNT treatment, the article has no reception section and ton of plot summary/mechandise info WP:FANCRUFT. I vote for 'weak redirect to the list of characters, with no prejudice to this being rewritten from scratch. But let's face it, 95% of the current content in the article needs to be deleted (blanked). Keeping this as it is is sending a bad messeage to the readers - that this is encyclopedic, or that Wikipedia is no better than fandom.

- I don't we should treat this type of collector's catalogue entry as useful for the purpose of estabilshing notability. "this unparalleled guide presents every character in robot and alternate modes with accessories". I don't think that listing of merchandise for collectors is a type of souce we want to rely on. This way lies the argument that we should have a separate article for each collectible item (baseball card, Magic the Gathering card, gum wrapper, etc.). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:21, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- This, like most of these Transformers topics have coverage of varying overlapping depths as toys, collectibles, characters in comic books, characters in TV shows, characters in movies, characters in video games, etc. I don't think the same can be said for most collectables.
- If there's a gum wrapper that has this level of coverage, such that we can write an article on it, then we should do it: The first paragraph of WP:N suggests
Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable, independent sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. Wikipedia's concept of notability applies this basic standard to avoid indiscriminate inclusion of topics.
- I agree that this does desperately need cleanup. But I do feel like we as editors need some better approaches to cleanup. The dichotomy of letting it sit vs redirecting as TNT is not healthy for the development of articles in this state.
- Getting out of scope for the AfD but, maybe we need to embrace a role of "tag percolation" of some sort. I'll point you at two edits on Mandelbrot Set. At one point I removed "more citations needed" with an explanation: [30], then another editor took me up on that offer and interspersed the cn tags throughout [31]. I feel like doing this process for other issues (including ones of ALLPLOT and FANCRUFT) could help the collaborative editing process. —siroχo 01:58, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed, there definitely needs to be some sort of middle ground between broad tagging and AfD. Taking the time to actually break down the issues with a page in a way they're evident to passing would-be editors rather than going to AfD when no real intermediate work has been done is something that needs work, it might attract more editors with knowledge of the area that way. Inline tagging of OR/CN, removal of unsuitable material line by line and constructive feedback on talk pages all need to be used more. Some people just edit Wikipedia and don't follow AfDs, after all. There also needs to be more aftercare for any merges or redirects. Is List of Transformers a viable article in itself or are we just kicking the can down the road? Does it have a section on Jazz/Sideswipe/Cliffjumper/Blaster or is that just going to be a hole? How does the list handle that there are multiple versions of these characters as best as I can tell, which are sometimes quite different to each other (e.g. when I was a kid Scorponok was a big chap who was in charge of the Deceptions but in the films he's a drone-type minion).
- I think most of us have gone through a phase of finding Twinkle and tagging/prodding stuff like it's a computer game. I know I did. But you have to back the driveby stuff up with some work. There are far, far too many redirects on Wikipedia to pages that tell you nothing about the redirect, and from what I've seen here the past few months this "vote and do nothing constructive afterwards" attitude in AfDs is a major factor in that.

- Keep per WP:NSONG and peaking at 22 on the UK national chart. Note that searching proquest this song is noted in quite literally dozens of independent RS. There is enough factual / critical coverage out there to build up a start class article or better over time. Keeping in mind we don't need coverage to the level of GNG when meeting an SNG, we have, for example [32]
His voice on tracks like Bittersweet Bundle Of Misery has a slightly out of tune, but intentional, quality about it.
, [33]'No Good Time' and 'Bittersweet Bundle of Misery' also contradict the received opinion that Damon was the tunesmith in Blur and Graham was the obscurantist.
, or [34]The recent single Bittersweet Bundle of Misery resembles The Archies' Sugar Sugar as much as Blur's Coffee and TV,
So NSONG holds up well in this case. —siroχo 06:04, 6 August 2023 (UTC)- @Siroxo I don't quite follow your argument here. NSONG makes clear that the chart criterion does not on its own establish notability. The sources you refer to, as well as everything else I could find, through proquest and elsewhere, is passing mentions. The song is frequently mentioned as an example or illustration of the musician's abilities, but I haven't found any analysis of the song itself. I don't think we should Keep based on the shaky grounds of NSONG, and I'm not seeing any sources that meet WP:GNG. We also aren't looking at other SNG criteria, so I do think we need GNG-level coverage. Actualcpscm (talk) 09:51, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- While this one may meet GNG, as I didn't do an exhaustive search, I don't think NSONG actually requires GNG-level, or the SNG wouldn't need to exist at all. Note that this subject does not fall afoul of the exclusionary criteria
If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears
, as I saw coverage unrelated to the album, orarticles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album.
I am confident we can write a start-class or longer article on this song. Since it doesn't meet either of the exclusionary criteria, and meets other guidelines, I am satisfied the SNG is met. —siroχo 10:04, 6 August 2023 (UTC)- But in these sources, the song is never
the subject
of the article/review/etc: The coverage required by NSONG isnon-trivial treatment and excludes mere mention of the song/single, its musician/band or of its publication, price listings and other non-substantive detail treatment
. Even in the best examples, the song is mentioned and perhaps used as an example of a quality of the singer's voice, but that's it. This is not substantive detail treatment, even by the lower standards of NSONG. Actualcpscm (talk) 10:54, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- But in these sources, the song is never
- While this one may meet GNG, as I didn't do an exhaustive search, I don't think NSONG actually requires GNG-level, or the SNG wouldn't need to exist at all. Note that this subject does not fall afoul of the exclusionary criteria
- @Siroxo I don't quite follow your argument here. NSONG makes clear that the chart criterion does not on its own establish notability. The sources you refer to, as well as everything else I could find, through proquest and elsewhere, is passing mentions. The song is frequently mentioned as an example or illustration of the musician's abilities, but I haven't found any analysis of the song itself. I don't think we should Keep based on the shaky grounds of NSONG, and I'm not seeing any sources that meet WP:GNG. We also aren't looking at other SNG criteria, so I do think we need GNG-level coverage. Actualcpscm (talk) 09:51, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: NSONG makes clear that chart listing is not enough on its own to establish notability, and none of the other sources provide any analysis of the song. We have plenty of mentions, but no analysis of the song out of which to establish notability and build an article. Actualcpscm (talk) 09:52, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

- 800+ words of SIGCOV in Management Services Journal which is a trade magazine with relatively standard practices [35]
- MSP visit, 187 words [36]
- 600+ words about shuttering a small campus [37]
- A bit of history in this obit [38], about 120 words.
- Some coverage in Nursing Times, paywalled [39]. Not sure how deep this coverage is.
- This list is not close to being exhaustive, as, again, there are hundreds of articles in total.
- Given that notability is WP:NOTTEMPORARY, and sigcov exists across several years, deletion would not be the best outcome here. A merge might be ok at some point, but Edinburgh College is not in the best of states at the moment either, so I don't necessarily recommend rushing it as part of an AFD. Long term this would slide nicely into a History of Edinburgh College article. —siroχo 06:48, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

It's not as abysmally sourced as the article previously deleted at AfD, but the underlying notability issue has not changed since the last AfD a few years ago.

- Seems to also meet WP:BASIC. Looking through proquest there are several different articles, including NYT[41], Chicago Tribune[42], etc [43] that have a few sentences of SIGCOV around his work in Rhodes along with his background. Additionally there is another Daily Mirror article from a different author, several years apart year that is an in-depth interview, but interspersed with independent assertions of facts about the subject [44]. Beyond that there's lots of varying coverage of subject's acting in various performances to sufficiently meet WP:BASIC.

- Unfortunately, WP:BASIC must be met. WP:NACTOR cannot be used as a signifier of notability when WP:BASIC is not met. WP:Notability says, referring to addition criteria such as NACTOR, People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. Thus, Joe Shaw being an actor in a few shows makes it likely that he might have SIGCOV in multiple independent reliable sources. But until those sources can be found, we can't justify this article. IAmHuitzilopochtli (talk) 19:48, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

- I agree with @Duffbeerforme, in most cases meeting additional criteria suffices. If there were literally no sources available online or off for someone who met one of the additional criteria for the SNG, that would be a strong case for not including an article about a subject. However, there are clearly a plethora of sources here; we can use the additional criteria as intended, rather than spending hours building up a case for BASIC. —siroχo 15:48, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 00:43, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree wholeheartedly with the nominator here. There's nothing approaching reliable sources which directly details any aspect of her life except for her few writings, which may or may not be notable themselves. Spin contains a single bare mention of her name and profession, the Skidmore class paper clearly does not meet independence, MOJO (radioheadperu.com) is not an RS, Masthead is her bio page at her employer of the time. The rest of the presented sources are reviews. Note: none of the material asserted in her "biography" section is properly cited and could be deleted by any wikipedian as violating BLP. We owe living subjects better coverage than merely a list of writings. BusterD (talk) 09:36, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Per policy though, it's completely fine for the notability of an article about an author to rest entirely on reviews of their work. Meanwhile, some of those reviews, e.g. [52] do include biographical information and could support that section of the article. Jahaza (talk) 14:39, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, I think this meets WP:AUTHOR, if not as robustly as some. Otherwise, as an alternative to deletion, if not kept independently, it looks like Exurbia is independently notable and could be its own article and as very much a third choice, it could redirect to Colin Greenwood, where she's mentioned. --Jahaza (talk) 14:43, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. Expanding on my keep reasoning above: WP:AUTHOR says a writer is notable if "The person has created...[a] well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." Clearly McGrann's work has been the primary subject of independent reviews, and I believe it's apparent that her works or collective body of work are well known, as her books have been reviewed in widely circulated general interest periodicals such as The Guardian and The Sydney Morning Herald. Additional reviews can also be found in The Daily Telegraph:
- Leith, William (17 July 2004). "Suburb of Lost Souls". Daily Telegraph. p. 10.
- Leith, William (17 March 2007). "Clouds Break Through the Sun". Daily Telegraph. p. 27.
- pburka (talk) 15:57, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Do I understand the keep arguments correctly? We may base notability for a living person entirely on reviews for their work? I assert the collective body of work is neither well-known, nor has the subject produced a single well-known work. There are reviews, I'll concede. But there is not one single presented or found reliable source which directly details the subject of this living person. What shall we say about this subject? A list of works. That's all we may cite. Disagree with me. BusterD (talk) 01:56, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Did you look at any of the reviews, because some, like the Oxford Mail one contain a significant amount of material about her background. Jahaza (talk) 03:59, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- FYI, before my first comment on such AfDs, I check sources then perform my own reasonable BEFORE. By my reading, there is nothing in the (tabloid) Oxford Mail review that wouldn't be found on the inside of one of her books' jackets. I disagree with keep asserters' assessment of significant coverage. Most of what I'm seeing, even in reviews, is bare mention of the author. Zero which engages her body of work at all. Routine coverage of individual writings, but nothing which approaches our GNG standard of significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources directly detailing the subject sufficiently to keep and maintain an article about a living person on Wikipedia. As a subject, she doesn't seem to meet ANYBIO or CREATIVE. I can't presume such sourcing exists. Without such sourcing, this biography as written is an original work and as such, synthesis. BusterD (talk) 12:44, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Yes. That's in line with our notability guidelines. We have lots of articles about people without needing to know biographical minutae. The encyclopedia is improved by the inclusion of articles about athletes, even if we know only about their athletic accomplishments; articles about politicians, even if we know only about their exercise of power; and articles about writers and artists, even if know only about their art. We could give these articles more precise names, I guess (Works of Molly McGrann, Athletic career of Fernanda Ribeiro, Medals of James Brady), but it's simpler to treat them as simple biographies. pburka (talk) 15:13, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Simpler to whom? Certainly not simpler to the subject of a Wikipedia article which poorly or inaccurately represents that person. Certainly not simpler to the administrator who must close such AfDs. This is exactly why BLP policies were created. We must weigh our contributions against a possible harm. I hold that at least one source must be presented or shown to exist which meets the significant coverage direct detailing criteria. We have none. BusterD (talk) 01:13, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- Simple, as in concise. But if you agree that Works of Molly McGrann is a notable topic, then we're just quibbling over the title at this point. pburka (talk) 22:26, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- I am not quibbling in any way. You are clearly misreading my assertion. I have stated I do not find ANY discussion of her body of work, just a few disconnected reviews of individual works. I do NOT hold her body of work is notable. I do NOT hold a single work is notable. I find this is a subject which lacks reliable sources sufficient for a BLP ("works of..." would still fall under BLP policy). Based on presented and found sources, this is a minor figure without any direct detailing by RS. It's a clear delete. I can't find any reason to keep, and the arguments presented thus far are unpersuasive (and don't include RS supporting). BusterD (talk) 10:11, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- It's your position that not even her books are notable? In that case there's no persuading you, but I expect the closing admin will see that your position is contradicted by several SNGs and years of precedent at AfD that authors of two or more notable books are usually notable. pburka (talk) 21:06, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

- Commenting on the unilateral move: it's useful to not keep to the "letter of the law" of policies sometimes and apply common sense.

- Keep Agreed that notability is borderline and could use more sources (if they even exist). However, I think the sourcing that does exist meets the minimum for notability. SchizoidNightmares (talk) 20:51, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Miraheze exists as a website and is growing in userage and thus notability. TheDarkEnigma2 (talk) 00:51, 5 August 2023 (UTC) — TheDarkEnigma2 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Weak keep While I admit that the sources on the article aren't the best, the article's issues aren't strong enough to warrant outright deletion, maybe a move back to draftspace at the most. Tali64^2 (talk) 04:14, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Draftify Sorry, I just don't see it. Sources: 1-5 are all primary, 6 is not significant coverage of Miraheze itself as opposed to one specific wiki that it hosts (although this source comes closest), 7 is primary, 8 is a passing mention, 9 is an interview with the co-founder and interviews aren't normally considered notability-establishing, 10 is primary, 11 is another interview with the (other) co-founder, 12-14 are primary, 15 has the same problems as 6, 16 is a passing mention, 17 is both a passing mention and (in the context it's being used) a primary source, 18 is a primary source. So what we have here is sources that talk about individual wikis that are hosted by Miraheze, but not the required in-depth coverage of the wiki host itself. Note that I occasionally contribute to the site, but found out about this when browsing Wikipedia unrelated to my contributions there. Also suggest salting, so we don't end up here again without the article going through a third-party review by someone other than a locked long-term abuser. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:50, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Support draftifying the article and salting the mainspace title so repeated unilateral page moves are avoided. I completely agree with the above assessment on sources. However, I also believe a proper procedure needs to take place, as expressed in my previous vote. –Vipz (talk) 00:26, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Draftify and Salt I don't think that in its current state the sourcing is strong enough to prove notability but it's fairly decent attempt at an article if a few independent articles on Miraheze itself (not its Wikis) could be found. The move looks to be at least disruptive to me and given this is the 3rd time we are here. A salt should be added so it forces independent review. I do not dispute any characterisation of the Miraheze community as young and sometimes passionate about topics that is likely to mean we end up here again if salt is not applied. ~ RhinosF1(Chat) / (Contribs) 15:19, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- Chiming in as a Miraheze webmasterread: bureaucrat of two years' tenure myself (at a time when that wiki farm's future remains uncertain after a slew of events during June and July--long story). Since WP:WEB shortcomings for this topic are still in place--and much of what needs to be known about that host can be found on its own home sites--all that's viable from here is either:
- a weak redirect to Comparison of wiki farms here (but as far as the rest of Wikimedia is concerned, cf. mw:Miraheze), or
- in the very off-chance that WP:Library's databases provide some coverage a couple of years from now, a weak draftify at WP:AFC.
