Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Authors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Caphadouk (talk | contribs) at 04:18, 8 March 2022 (Listing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Melody MacDonald.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Authors. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Authors|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Authors. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Like another AFD candidate, Jeff Gum (actor), Long was "Executive Producer" for both Rambo: Last Blood (24 Executive Producers) and Tesla (2020 film) (14 Executive Producers) and the page creator of this article (with 27 edits) has also voiced a Keep vote at the Jeff Gum AFD. I'm sensing both paid editing and some sockpuppetry but the bottom line is that I don't think Long meets WP:FILMMAKER or WP:AUTHOR. And I should probably file an SPI, too. Liz Read!

This individual does not seem to meet WP:NPROF, WP:NAUTHOR, or the GNG. Although he's published a few scholarly articles, they haven't received nearly enough citations to meet NPROF crit. 1; associate professors don't meet NPROF crit. 5; his book (a published version of his doctoral thesis) does not seem to have garnered the reviews needed for a pass of NAUTHOR; a WP:BEFORE search found no GNG-qualifying coverage. Since he only received his Ph.D. in 2019, it is likely too soon for notability. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:54, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet NBASIC. Majority of the sources are not significant or reliable. ––FormalDude talk 14:01, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. There is a very little notability here but I do feel that the bar has to be set fairly high before we have a BLP article that can reasonably be interpreted as saying "This is a completely awful person", even if that was not the author's intent and if it is couched in sympathetic euphemistic language. I am wondering whether one or more her organisations might be more genuinely notable than she is as an individual. (I regret to have to say that I have at least heard of "Partners for Ethical Care".) If so, having an article about that/those would avoid the problem with having a negative BLP. If the article is kept then the weasel words have to go. We can't have the euphemistic language of "concerns" and "rights" where very conspicuously nobody says what those "concerns" and "rights" actually are. Either we talk about her plainly or we don't talk about her at all. If she is notable then it will be easy enough to turn up RS coverage and criticism of her. Oddly enough, there is little to none in the article, which also speaks against notability. Also against her notability is the fact that the article is very close to being an orphan. So what do the Google links say? It's hard to tell whether there is additional notability here as the initial hits are mostly just hyperbolic praise from the sort of sources who will loudly embrace anybody who is against trans people. Is there more actual notability for her as an author under all that? I didn't see any but I also didn't feel inclined dig deep enough to say "no" for sure, hence the "weak delete". --DanielRigal (talk) 15:09, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Apt analysis. My search turned up the same thing. ––FormalDude talk 00:38, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: co-signing the above. She's appearing in the articles that aren't about her recent book because she's the spokesperson for an org, not because she herself is notable. In order to have a BLP on someone who is notable for opposing "the gender cult", we'd need sources that talk about her in that role, but that aren't interviews (right? someone correct me if not), and it doesn't look like we have that in a manner other than the aforementioned hyperbolic praise from the sort of sources who will loudly embrace anybody who is against trans people. -- asilvering (talk) 05:20, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    You're correct–interviews are primary sources and therefore do not count towards notability. ––FormalDude talk 06:10, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Two AFD discussions ended in no consensus about a decade ago. Still and all, the subject seems primarily notable for a 15-year-old controversy that was essentially a flash in the pan. Clearly time for another look. Seems to lack significant coverage other than for the newspaper incidents. Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Geoff | Who, me? 00:49, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am the subject of this page and would please ask for it to be deleted. The page condenses my life to a narrow period and focuses disproportionately on one contentious moment 15 years ago. It does not exist as an accurate biography. It lacks far too many details to qualify it as a biography. No-one has ever researched my age, my place of birth, my family members or any other details that would reasonably merit its existence as a fair and balanced biography. Did the person who created this page really do so to create a biography of a ‘notable’ individual? They obviously did not. The creation of this page was for malicious purposes - the page’s early history confirms that - which contravenes wiki policies. It was subsequently edited so it could remain & exist in its current form. There is no reasonable reason why it should not be deleted given how much information it lacks and how outdated it is.
More seriously, it creates the impression I am some kind controversial figure. This is wholly inaccurate, unfair and damaging. Again, please consider if this truly qualifies as a biography of a notable individual, and please ask yourself why no-one has sought to update it for so long. It has not been edited at all for a year, and there has been no material change for much longer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisbasc (talkcontribs) 06:54, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Blank the slate It seems the subject of the article would like the article deleted. Although I feel the Chris Bascombe is notable, I have nothing against deleting the article to be maybe started again. Govvy (talk) 11:52, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think the subject of the article can have it both ways. If the article can be fixed in a manner that is in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines, then it should be kept and fixed. If it's deleted because the subject wants it to be deleted, then recreating into a more suitable version that subject might be more likely to agree to seems like gaming and shouldn't be allowed. WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE is a courtesy offered to subjects who find having an article written about them on Wikipedia is causing them real world difficulties; it's a way to "edit" articles into something that the subject prefers. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:35, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I find it difficult to understand the motivation behind the arguments to keep and would please ask for reconsideration. It was first suggested in 2012 this page needed ‘improvement not deletion’. You can see plainly there has been no attempt to improve in the ten years since - not a single additional source in ten years or any attempt to create a fuller biography. If the notability criteria is based on being a football journalist and ghostwriter of a book, why is this part of the biography so disproportionately lacking in sources and detail? Is every journalist considered ‘notable’ based on their subject matter? There are 187 words on this page, of which 97 are focused on the moment when a local reporter left a job for a national newspaper. The sources cited referencing the move are from a journalism industry website and a specialist media journalist whose main focus was anecdotes from the media industry. It was not a ‘news’ story yet here it makes up 52 per cent of the ‘biography’. I have to ask again, did the person who created the page claim notability on the basis of a journalism career, or wish to create notability on the grounds of a journalist leaving a job? I think that is question at the heart of this. I do not believe anyone can credibly argue this page exists as a biography of a notable person. It is a page which was first set-up in an attempt to create some kind of notoriety. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisbasc (talkcontribs) 23:53, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Could I just add here, that I would welcome any users who still wish to keep the page to email/contact me & perhaps give me the chance to explain in as much detail possible & necessary (not so publicly) further personal reasons why I think it is right, fair & proper this page is deleted. I am sure you can all empathise with how stressful (and surreal) it can be having the merits of one’s own ‘biography’ discussed online.Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisbasc (talkcontribs) 00:23, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Chrisbasc: I sent you a message on twitter, if it is really you, you should respond on twitter. If it's not, it's dangerous to impersonate someone and the account will most likely be banned. Govvy (talk) 10:21, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I assure you it is me. I keep twitter notifications off except for those I follow, so only just seen yours. I 'liked' your tweet.
I am sorry if my request is becoming repetitive, but some of the reasons cited for 'notability' are not actually reflected in the construction of the page. It actually feels the discussion pages for deletion are more thoroughly researched than the page itself!! I can only repeat that in the absence of the improvement which ensured it remained in 2012 and 2013, it should be deleted. And I am more than happy to discuss further privately. Chrisbasc (talk) 10:42, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
and just to confirm, if you allow me to DM you on Twitter I can verify (i just followed you). Not especially keen to broaden public discussion on Twitter. It's unsettling enough do it on here!! Chrisbasc (talk) 10:51, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know why you'd say you're not notable, I know who you are! I've read your articles for years. You're at the same level as Henry Winter in my opinion. If you want to get rid of your article you might have to ask at WP:TEAHOUSE as I am not sure how it works. But to me, you should just leave it be, it's not the best article, but it does enhance your notability. Also, there is no harm in you improving the article as long as you declare your WP:COI with it. Govvy (talk) 10:55, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand why there is any eagerness to keep it! I am certainly not as notable as Henry Winter!!! But if that was the case, there would be a more thorough, biographical tone to it. When you say 'it's not the best article' (putting it mildly) that cuts to the chase of the problem. It is so flawed (and actually inaccurate because I was at the Liverpool Echo for ten years!!) that even the sources cited have issues. Is 'enhancing notability' the purpose of wikipedia, or does notability have to be established to justify the biography (which we can see is not really a biography at all) ?? I keep saying I would like to discuss in private and yet no-one wants to. Very frustrating because there are points to be made which I hope would help users see my perspective which it is unfair to expect me to make on a public forum.

  • His fascinating and consistently insightful posts have been discussed quite a lot in various books and by other writers, arguably enough for NAUTHOR #1 & #2, as these searches shows. But a couple of low-effort book reviews in some city color supplement of The Hindu or some WP:ADMASQ "articles" in Times of India on book launches would get a dull writer enough WP notability, while posts about vgr's writing like these - [3], [4] - would (correctly per WP:RS) be disputed as blog posts. And of course, he's already tweeted about this aspect of attention mechanics. Reminds me of two recent AfDs where obviously unencyclopedic entries weren't deleted due to the loopholes in Notability rules. This could be the other-side-of-that-coin case, where something that should be retained gets deleted. I'm not going to vote though, since he's said the page is "awful and should be deleted" and I don't know how to make it better. Hemantha (talk) 13:51, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete does not pass GNG Puglia1999 (talk) 23:46, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Reasons below:
  1. The Indian Express source says 'Express News service' and hence, not independent. IE is a reputed source and when they are not putting a byline, it means they don't want to take accountability of it.
  2. Same goes for Tribune
  3. Business standard says Press Trust of India. Not independent.
  4. Firstpost says FP Staff but in the end says 'inputs from agencies' which dilutes the independence. It means, some information was fed to FP that they used to write this. If it had some independent commentary, it could have been used to assert notability.
  5. NDTV is again Press Trust of India, likely to be fed by the party or his media team.

The refs are all either book reviews (mostly brief ones at that) or subject's own articles and interviews. Since he's a spokesperson of a major party, there are a lot of search hits but the coverage is limited to quotes only. Journal hits are a different person. Note that he was a columnist for Times of India, so ToI refs need additional scrutiny. Hemantha (talk) 11:12, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    • That's a long list of hits from ProQuest search. Have you looked through them? Some of your links are so blatantly inappropriate that I'm not sure if this wasn't WP:REFBOMBing. Still, let's go through.
On sources you claim cover NAUTHOR #3
  • IWMBuzz isn't even considered reliable for Indian films, their main coverage area.
  • Republic is a deprecated source.
  • This ToI review literally has "micro-review" in its head. It can't possibly be WP:SIGCOV. Note also that WP:NFSOURCES (while not applicable directly) has wording that specifically bars these "capsule reviews".
  • All the UNI (a wire agency) reports are credited to the same author. The article on When the chief fell in love is clearly not a review. The one on Of Love & Politics uses identical words (Aditya Samar Singh aristocratic, Brajesh Ranjan overtly nationalistic agenda) as TNIE and is mostly made up of dialogs copied from the book instead of any significant independent content. The one on Edge of Desire uses same lines from the book's blurb. Neither appears to have been carried by any WP:RS. Combined with UNI's unknown reliability, there is enough to doubt the independence of these articles.
  • Beyond Of Love and Politics (which itself can be argued with, but I haven't looked in detail), none of these books could be considered significant enough for Wikipedia. The current state, where none of those books have articles on them, reflects it.
On the sources you claim suitable for GNG -
  • Business Standard is actually from IANS, a newswire, but also carried by other newswires like ANI. Without a by-line or a credit, this routine announcement is indistinguishable from a press release.
  • The three Telegraph pieces ([5], [6],[7]) are all book launch announcements, by the same author who has reused the same general structure and even identical bio blurbs (Before penning books, Tuhin also used to write screenplays for Hindi daily soaps. ... Finishing school in 1995, Tuhin then went on to pursue graduation in commerce from Hindu College, Delhi. He also holds a diploma from National Institute of Advertising.) since his first book release in 2008. The rest of those articles are made up of author quotes and they are basically interviews. The extreme similarity of the article on "Have a Safe Journey" launch to other articles covering it (similar lines on author lists, road safety awareness, Minister's foreword, CEO's message - all in that same order), brings into question the independence of these articles.
  • The remaining Telegraph article actually covers a speech he made and is full of quotes from that speech. It has nothing at all about him apart from Sinha, who is a novelist, a BJP spokesperson in Mumbai and an advisor to the ministry Hemantha (talk) 06:30, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Note that this is not the same person as Dipak Adhikari, who's also currently up for AFD in a separate discussion -- however, the creator of that article did try to make this one go away by arbitrarily moving it into draftspace and then blanking it solely in order to "clear the decks" for his pet topic.
So I've reverted that since it isn't proper process, but that doesn't mean the article itself is okay: it's an article about a journalist who isn't properly sourced as passing our notability criteria for journalists. An article about a journalist needs to be referenced to sources in which he's the subject of coverage written by other people, but this is referenced almost entirely to sources where he's the bylined author of coverage about other things, which is not what it takes to make a journalist notable. And the only source that does actually meet the required standard just gives one blurb's worth of information about him in the context of having been one of 12 contributors to an anthology book, which isn't enough proper media coverage to pass WP:GNG all by itself.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have considerably better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 16:03, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and redirect to Dev (Bengali actor). Searching is difficult (partly because there are several others with the same name and partly of the language barrier), but I haven't been able to identify any significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The available sources consist mainly of interviews, passing mentions, quotes, and articles that Adhikari himself has written—none of which satisfy the GNG. There is similarly no indication that any of the criteria at WP:NJOURNALIST are met. This title would be a useful redirect to Dev (Bengali actor), although there would be no reason to preserve this article's unrelated page history in that case.

This is autobiography by Lcladish13 (talk · contribs) (a.k.a. Lcladish (talk · contribs), and I suspect also Thebestwriter13 (talk · contribs) and Penelope1313 (talk · contribs) in the years since). I find no sources not written by the article subject xyrself, and the fact that I found someone disputing the truth of Unialphabet (AfD discussion) back in 2008, having tested out what Wikipedia said on the subject, leads to accuracy worries about the information here, as they were written by the same person, alongside Delfin Carbonell Basset (AfD discussion) who is claimed to be an immediate family member of this person on this person's autobiography elsewhere on the WWW.

  • Delete I'm actually seeing a lot of coverage in 1956 on newspapers.com, but it's mostly AP wire stories (or modified AP wire stories). A bunch of newspapers reporting that he refused to testify in front of congress, pleading a bunch of amendments, is clear WP:BIO1E. WP:SUSTAINED notes that If reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual. The lack of any meaningful follow-up in the 66 years since his testimony from anyone other than his cousin shows that reliable sources only cover him in the context of a single event. Since he remained low-profile throughout his life, I see no compelling reason to consider him notable. — Mhawk10 (talk) 22:20, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree that the small amount of coverage of another minor controversy is enough to overcome these concerns.

  • Keep Bureau chief of a notable publication is enough to establish notability. Also, I am not sure why WP:BLP1E is brought in here. There are accusations of plagiarism which has multiple full article length discussions other than his sexual misconducts. WP:BLP1E is applicable only when "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event." We have many coverages like [9], [10] and [11] which aren't about the incident of his sexual misconduct. Hence WP:BLP1E isn't applicable here and the person seems notable even without the chapter of sexual misconduct. Cirton (talk) 08:12, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to The Washington Post - This article seems like a WP:BLP violation to me. Between the Daily Beast reports and the Washingtonian report, I do think the subject meets WP:GNG. Unfortunately, I don't see how we could write an article about the subject while meeting WP:BLP. If desired, someone could write an article about the specific allegations regarding Denyer, Kaiman, and the Post's China bureau. That said, I don't think deletion is necessary here: regarding merge target, we don't have an article on Felicia Sonmez or her lawsuit, but it doesn't look like the Post article is so long that it can't be expanded with three sentences (about the lawsuit, the allegations against Denyer, and his resignation). (A further note on sources: the Foreign Policy blog doesn't explicitly mention Denyer, and the plagiarism sources are only passing mentions; if the article were kept, they could support at most a single sentence, and don't contribute to my assessment of notability.)Suriname0 (talk) 23:02, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

-Wikidemon (talk) 07:59, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm much less sure than Wikidemon about this. First, we need to get rid of all of the sources that are not only not about him, but do not mention him. Those are the ones number 6, 14 and 15 here. There is the info about this "dream job". The famed "contest" was to become the winery's "lifestyle correspondent" aka blogger/tweeter, for six months. (The SF Chron article at #5 is a paragraph saying that he was #1 in the line to get into the venue.) Then there are articles about him moving on to other jobs, which are pretty puffy, generally based on his "fame" of winning the original contest. The Food Republic article ("9 people...") is a longish single paragraph about his wine (but little about him), and the NapaValley paper ("7 of ...") is a short paragraph (5 sentences) about the wine product. The most extensive article is the SF Chron from September 2021, but that's only one source. He shows up in Google searches, but nothing more impressive than what I see here. His job was as PR person for various concerns, so there are quotes from him about other people's products. I'm leaning toward delete. Lamona (talk) 01:43, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've been expanding the sections on his wine-making and adding refs from what Wikidemon provided. If the article is more about his wine-making accomplishments and less on the contest, then I go for weak keep. However, I'm not finding anything that I consider to be truly current - he did some podcasts in 2018 and I see that he is scheduled to speak at a 2023 symposium on wines but it doesn't make clear what his current business is. There's a hint in his linkedin profile, but that's not usable as a source. Lamona (talk) 17:14, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete In the spirit of full disclosure, I lived in the Napa Valley for almost 30 years and know many people in the Napa and Sonoma wine industry. A small percentage of my edits have to do with wine. In my judgment, this person is not a notable winemaker. He won a publicity stunt contest and got paid for a while to do social media promotional activity for a well known winery. Since then, he has connected with various other winemakers and assisted them with their online public relations and social media activities. I do not believe that constitutes notability. The ongoing coverage following the publicity stunt is mostly hyperlocal. Cullen328 (talk) 07:14, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of a recently deceased writer, not properly referenced as passing WP:AUTHOR. While there are claims here (mostly late-in-life honours) that would probably make him eligible for an article that was reliably sourced, as written the referencing here is entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, such as his listing on the website of the funeral home that handled his burial, and content self-published by organizations directly affiliated with the distinction claims -- and the French article is even worse, citing only the funeral home with no other footnotes whatsoever. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG on real coverage about his work in real media. Bearcat (talk) 18:00, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That would be fine if the article were sourced properly, but isn't "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have any coverage in real media, precisely because the extent to which any award is notable enough to make its winners "inherently" notable because they won it is determined by the extent to which the award does or doesn't get media coverage. Bearcat (talk) 15:33, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. I agree with Phil Bridger that the fact of receiving the Légion d'honneur is not enough on its own. The National Order of Quebec may be stronger, I'm not sure, but I still don't think it's something that would automatically convey notability without WP:GNG-level sourcing. And I can't find any evidence of WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR notability, so WP:GNG seems like the only possibility. But there is some nontrivial coverage of him that may be reliable and independent enough to pass WP:GNG: from the government of Quebec in the citation for his Order of Quebec [12], from Les petits frères, an organization he seems to have been associated with, in a story giving his biography and noting his award of the Légion d'honneur [13], and in a published tribute letter to him after his death (two sites and two languages but really only one letter) [14] [15]. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:22, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The sourcing for an award claim has to be media reportage about the presentation of the award, not the self-published website of the award's giver, to turn any award into an article-clinching notability claim. Bearcat (talk) 15:35, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If we're using the award for WP:PROF#C2 notability or the like, then the fact of the award is enough. And if we're going by GNG-based notability, then it is the sourcing, not the award, that makes him notable, and the fact that the sourcing has detailed coverage of the subject and is published by an impeccably reliable source, the government of Quebec, makes it irrelevant that at the same time they published the source they also gave him an award. Do you somehow think that the same publication from the same source would be made much stronger if only they had not also given him an award when they published it? That's absurd. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:32, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Content published by the government of Quebec would never be notability-building coverage in any context, because the government of Quebec is not media. The extent to which any award is ever notable enough to make its winners notable for winning it is always strictly coterminous with the extent to which that award generates third-party media coverage in sources independent of the awarding organization's own self-published content about its own activities. Bearcat (talk) 15:04, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I thought your position was already absurd, but you have outdone yourself by insisting that governments are incapable of generating independent reliable publications. Ridiculous and made up out of thin air, rather than anything actually written into our guidelines. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:50, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Of note is that the nominator stated in the nomination, "I think this page should be merged, deleted, or further developed". As such, this is not a pure "delete" nomination from the start. The two delete !votes following the nomination state that the subject is non-notable in a rather generic manner, and in part based upon personal opinions, because they did not directly cite any specific notability guidelines. Furthermore, only one out of three delete !voters (including the nominator) checked back to the discussion to provide input about sources that were later presented. The keep !votes provide relatively solid evidence that the subject meets notability guidelines, but again, after sources were presented two out of three delete !voters did not come back to assess those sources. The same two out of three provided no input about sources added to the article as well, which occurred on 3 March 2022‎.

The two delete !votes following the nomination focus mostly upon the subject's internet posts, stating that such posts do not create notability, but do not provide much other qualification for deletion relative to notability guidelines, other than simply stating that the subject is not notable per their respective rationales, and neither opiner referred to any specific notability guideline.

Conversely, keep !voters here provided evidence and cited specific notability guidelines, such as WP:NAUTHOR and WP:SIGCOV. North America1000 08:53, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jared Yates Sexton (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

As has been outlined on the talk page by other users; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jared_Yates_Sexton several months ago. And I quote; Lets go through the criteria: The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique. No unless I'm missing something? The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. No. (c) is the closest. Sure his books have been reviewed but I would say that constitutes critical attention of a standard sort. His works have not received more attention than usual or "significant" attention. Again tell me if I'm off here. The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. Perhaps you could say his coverage of the Presidency of Donald Trump would fit the mold of something notable he was involved with. Or you could say the 2016 United States presidential election was something notable he contributed to. But he certainly didn't play a "major" role in either of those. You could find hundreds of people who played a larger role in both of those. His name or coverage does not appear on either of those wiki pages. Finally, The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. This is the most difficult to parse. He doesn't have any successors yet so it would be peers. Do other authors cite his work? I don't see evidence of that in the References area of the article so at the very least that should be updated. In fact, regarding the references, there are only four out of nineteen which qualify as WP:SECONDARY sources: #'s 2, 7, 8 and 14. For 2, Barrelhouse is a quite small outlet. Not worthy of much weight. For 7, Bloomberg News qualifies as a reliable source but this is an opinion article, filed under their "turnabout" section. For 8, again, Mother Jones qualifies as a reliable source but using it for politics (as this does) requires attribution per WP:RSPSOURCES. Reference 14 is Deadspin which is not a reliable source. For all these reasons I think this page should be merged, deleted, or further developed. AVNOJ1989 (talk) 19:38, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need to delete this page. Sexton is a notable author and commentator. The article has many sources. Could it be better? Of course. It should not be a candidate for deletion.Utahredrock (talk) 05:33, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A few viral tweets does not equal notability. Sexton's work is definitely not journalism, he is not independently investigating anything. His work is also not academic. He is simply a person with strong opinions. Also the authority control box still directs to the wrong Jared Sexton. Nweil (talk) 17:37, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, we do have several articles on people who were opinion columnists, so people do not need to be doing investigative journalism, or "journalism" per some definition, to be notable. However, they do need good quality sources about them which we seem to lack here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:32, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep His works have received "significant critical attention"; saying he hasn't received "more attention than usual" and therefore existing coverage doesn't count seems totally arbitrary and would make inclusion successively harder the later an entry appears in the encyclopedia. He's received attention from multiple independent sources, and that's significant per WP:SIGCOV. Moving on, the criteria is saying "the person has created...a significant or well-known work or body of work," not "must have played a major role in a significant historical event," as the nominator seems to be understanding it. No, he did not play a massive role in electing Trump or anything, but his work is itself "significant or well-known," based on the coverage of it, which treats it as such (even if you personally disagree). Yitz (talk) 23:49, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Do you believe the "significant work" you mention (I'm guessing the tweeting? Or his books? Please clarify since they are different) has been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.?

  • Mild keep Has been reviewed in the Los Angeles Review of Books and has authored articles in the Globe and Mail among others, even if most of his "coverage" is hanging off Donald Trump's "fame" while in office. His book also has a review in the The Journal of Psychohistory, [16], via ProQuest. I think he's notable, that's 3 critical reviews, two in the LA book review and this one.

  • Keep Passes the WP:AUTHOR bar: multiple reviews, including two for each of two books, indicating there's a body of work to write about. XOR'easter (talk) 17:27, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • OK great, lets look at these reviews. So going book by book. Book: The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters on Your Shore Article: written by Blake Morlock in LA Review of Books, published in October 20, 2017. So the writer here has only been published in LA Review of Books once, only for this specific review. Furthermore, I can't find any other book review from Mr. Morlock, ever. He seems to be a local news reporter in Tuscon. Also, digging more into the LA Review of Books, despite having a very lofty sounding name, it has only been in existence for 10 years. Wikipedia has a fairly extensive list of literary review periodicals and magazines at List of literary magazines, and LA Review of Books is nowhere to be found on that. Is this a serious operation? The magazine originated on Tumblr, which would obviously not meet our standard. It has since transitioned to online and print to be fair, but it's founder Tom Lutz described their strategy for growth as "we had to learn to insert ourselves into social media conversations" which is an odd thing for a book review periodical to be concerned about. And it casts some doubt in my mind about their intentions. Especially given that the Wikipedia article at hand (JY Sexton) has such a large social media following. Book: The Man They Wanted Me to Be Article: written by Nicholas Cannariato in NPR, published May 10, 2019. The tone of this review is very personal. In fact, the writer includes personal anecdotes about their own life rather than focusing on the book at hand. It's much more based on raw feelings rather than any academic interest or historical literary contextualizing. The writer is a self described freelance writer. It's unclear what editorial control was applied to this article, as NPR books does not have a masthead. NPR is not known as an outlet that reviews books, and similar to LA Review of Books, it does not appear on the Wikipedia list at List of literary magazines. It's difficult to take a previous commenter seriously when they described this review as "high profile". It's simply a freelance article, generated for NPR's engagement numbers. Essay: written by Harriet Fraad in the Journal for Psychohistory, published in Fall 2019. If you check the reliable sources noticeboard, there has already been a discussion of the reliablility of psychohistorians, such as Fraad. The verdict was that it's close to, if not completely over the line of, WP:FRINGE. A link to this essay by Fraad would be ill-advised. Book: American Rule Article: written by Paige Welsh in LA Review of Books, published September 27, 2020 The LA Review of Books masthead indicates that their politics editor is Tom Zoellner. Zoellner is a professor at Chapman University in the same department where the writer (Welsh) is a student, and in this case, submitted a politics-related book review even though none of her other available writings relate to politics or even book reviews. It seems clear that Zoeller encouraged or helped Welsh get published, or at least we can't discount that as a possibility. All of this, again, calls into questions the reliability of LA Review of Books as a serious publication for our purposes. If you look at the actual review from Welsh, it spends a significant amount of time chastising Sexton for a lack of "wokeness" asking why Native peoples were not featured more prominently. In fact, she counted the number of times a white man's name appeared in the book. What the review does not do is contextualize Sexton's book in the literary canon. Reading the review, you are left with no inkling of whether the work is significant in a literary sense or not. All this to say, these reviews are pretty lame and I strongly encourage the keep voters to rethink their position. Nweil (talk) 06:48, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      Los Angeles Review of Books "only" reviewing books for 10 years doesn't seem like good reason to discredit them. I likewise consider NPR to be a very reliable source. I'd request if you quote me again, to please tag me so I can reply sooner. Also, I added a link to the LA Times review that you said didn't exist above. In summary I've done the rethink that you asked for and your research/analysis has not shifted my opinion. CT55555 (talk) 04:17, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment you forgot the essay in the peer-reviewed journal I cited above. It and the two "lame" reveiews as you call them seem to add up to notablity. He's also cited at least 3 times in this peer-reviewed journal from New Zealand, [17], as well as this theology journal, quoting several of his tweets, [18]. Three or four others also use his writing to discuss various issues in psychology, theology and journalism in general. I would consider that at least a modicum of notability on which to base an article in Wikipedia? Oaktree b (talk) 21:12, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Just to reiterate so I'm kept in this round, I do think this article is noteworthy and meets all criteria for being kept. The subject is being cited in large publications, and this article should stay around.

  • Delete Fails WP:BIO and WP:AUTHOR. Lacking indepth coverage of her as the subject. LibStar (talk) 23:48, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Don't know what went on above with the SPA's, but I don't see this person being notable. The article seems in a better position right now compared to how it was before the nomination, but I can still clearly see WP:REFBOMB attempts. Per WP:SIGCOV, merely "being cited" isn't enough, and without significant coverage there is no sign of a GNG pass. ~StyyxTalk? ^-^ 12:33, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
