Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/People

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Ew3234 (talk | contribs) at 02:47, 28 July 2023 (Listing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David E. Smith.). 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 People. 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, 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|People|~~~~}} 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.
Note that 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 links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to People.

This article is almost entirely uncited and does not meet BLP. The subject also does not meet WP:NBIO because they do not inherit notability from being associated with the Haight Ashbury Free Clinics. Ew3234 (talk) 02:47, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A little more elaboration here. I am certain that David E Smith has published books, and that he is an adjunct prof at UCSF [1], but neither amounts to good notability. Maybe this article from the San Francisco Chronicle and this report from the UC system could establish some notability? He also got a NYTimes mention by the book he co-authored (see here). I think if someone works to rework this article, I can imagine it getting kept, but at this point I still would !vote weak delete. --TheLonelyPather (talk) 07:57, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet notability criteria for WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Arts Tribune appears to be a generic entertainment blog. The "Vasto Film Festival" and "Hombres Literary Award" also do not seem terribly notable. Other claims are unsourced and I cannot find verification. Google search for "Mehdi Brando Mahdloo" or "Mehdi Mahdloo" comes up with fewer than 100 results, mostly directory entries and social media. There's one bylined write-up in a localized news site. ... discospinster talk 01:20, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scandals of the Serbian Progressive Party (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)

Another non-NPOV article that is full of original research and various accusations that are not even linked to the Serbian Progressive Party but instead to certain individuals. A similar article, which also included various accusations that are not connected to the Serbian Progressive Party, was created back in 2020 and has been since deleted. Some of this material could instead be copy-edited to neutral style and added to articles of these individuals (Aleksandar Vučić, Aleksandar Vulin, Bratislav Gašić, etc.), but adding all of this together to a single article that is not even relevant to the Serbian Progressive Party is just a bunch of nonsense. Vacant0 (talk) 19:19, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is inherently related to the Serbian Progressive Party as all of the people involved in the scandals are members of the Serbian Progressive Party, and have been for years. All of these people are interconnected in their wrongdoings. If we can have Scandals of the Ronald Reagan administration i think this will work too.
All of these accusations are backed by sources like KRIK, BIRN, and Insajder, which are independent investigative media. In the article itself is listed the reason why i cannot diversify my sources more, most news media in Serbia have turned to exclusively pro-government tabloid journalism over the last few years.
While i can see why you might think the article is non-NPOV, i think it would be much more helpful if you were to correct/point out the specific lack of NPOV instead of flagging an entire article for deletion. Graphite2277 (talk) 20:16, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, that is not true, not all individuals listed here are members of the Serbian Progressive Party, and even if they were, that does not mean that SNS itself was directly involved in the scandals, which the title of this article implies. There is a great difference between the Scandals of the Ronald Reagan administration article and this one. First one is in the name, this article claims that all of these accusations are related to a single party, which is incorrect, while the scandals listed on the Ronald Reagan administration article were all investigated and the individuals were convicted/pleaded guilty. The accusations here were not done by SNS nor was the party involved in them.
There is also original research and misinterpretation of sources, here is an example:
  • For 300 out of 365 days in 2022, the president Aleksandar Vučić was present on some national television programme – Source says that from 1 June 2022 to 31 May 2023, Vučić appeared on 300 television programmes in total, not that he appeared on some national television programmes for 300 days
Again, although the article contains a lot of original research, the article still does not imply how these accusations are related to SNS, or how SNS was involved in any of them, at all. Even if the article was to be renamed to something else it would still have a lot of content that is not related to the actual topic. As I've said, these accusations are either related to individuals, not the party, while some were related to the government (COVID, 2023 shootings, Belgrade Waterfront), and most of these are already present on these articles. I'm not disputing the reliability of KRIK, BIRN, Insajder or other sources, they are all reliable. The main issue here is not the sourcing (though there is unsourced content), but rather that these numerous allegations and accusations, which are already present on most articles related to these topics, are not related to SNS, even though the title implies that SNS was involved in every one of these scandals, which is not true. I'll give you some examples:
The article has been already tagged for NPOV, not by me, and reading through the article, not everything written is in neutral tone. You have even sorted the controversies into "minor" and "major" ones even though no source implies this. Vacant0 (talk) 21:18, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
While not all individuals mentioned in this article are members of SNS, i only mentioned non-member individuals who are directly connected to members of SNS and who presumably stood to gain from it (Mitrović getting country funds, Belivuk's clan being able to operate for over 10 years because they were involved with the president's son etc.). All of these are SNS scandals because what is a political party if not it's members and their public image? It would not be fitting to name this article "Scandals of the Serbian government" or something similar, as all of these scandals happened since SNS became the leading party in 2012.
Again these are all inherently related to SNS as their members were involved and the only reason they were involved is because they're members of the party. As for source misinterpretation, i assure you it was accidental and i would be more than happy to fix any instances of me misinterpreting a source by providing another source or changing the wording, although i am more than positive that any hard accusations made in this article are properly backed. The same applies to non-NPOV. Please do point out more examples of original research, non-NPOV and source misinterpretation so i can promptly fix them.
While some of these scandals are already present in some articles i believe it is a much better choice to just link to that article here or vice-versa (whichever has a more detailed explanation). On the other hand some of these scandals are not mentioned anywhere else and there is not an adequate page to move them to.
The sorting between controversies and scandals was truthfully done on my own accord, where minor controversies are ones where the action was technically legal but very unpopular among the Serbian people and at most caused financial harm, while "scandals" involve a major loss of country funds or life, or just blatant disregard for the law. I am more than happy to remove this and put everything in a single "Scandals" section. Graphite2277 (talk) 10:25, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And that is the problem. You have used original research to link everything in the article to SNS and that is the reason why this article should be deleted. The article cannot be fixed or corrected because SNS was not involved in majority of these accusations. Individuals were involved instead. SNS cannot be inherently related to the accusations when there is no proof that SNS was involved in these accusations. Claiming that it is, is original research. Other than this, I won't repeat what I have already said. You can read my comments again, read more Wikipedia policies such as WP:OR, WP:NPOV, and WP:V, and in the future use the Articles for creation process to create articles until you get more familiar with how Wikipedia articles are supposed to look like. Vacant0 (talk) 10:52, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth wouldn't it be correct to rename the article to "Scandals involving members of the Serbian Progressive Party", and to adjust the wording a bit? Nowhere except in the article title and the opening statement have i implied any of these scandals were the entire party's fault. Graphite2277 (talk) 11:21, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh also just to add: Nearly all of these people involved in scandals of various severity were allowed to keep climbing the political ladder. None were ever prosecuted, the party itself never even condemned their actions. This is what i mean when i say the party essentially supported these controversies. Graphite2277 (talk) 11:32, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The article is cited, but all these incidents (many of them with our old friend "Sources Say") seem like an unconnected gripe list mad at a party structure more than specific things a certain cabinet did, and 'shame' articles just because a certain party didn't 'punish' someone enough never really fly here.

  • Delete, this feels like a bad way to present information. Any extremely important or historic scandals would of course be covered at Serbian Progressive Party. Ones that are less important but which still commanded media attention over a lengthy period of time should have their own individual articles, and ones that only had an impact over a single news scandal and did not receive lasting attention should really not be covered in detail per WP:NOTNEWS.

WP:BLP1E, only notable for verifying Barack Obama's birth certificate. Partofthemachine (talk) 17:04, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable civil servant. The birth certificate thing is neither here nor there. No references found otherwise. Oaktree b (talk) 18:10, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Retain
Dr. Onaka was the recipient of a prestigious national award, the Halbert L. Dunn award, and served as president of a national vital records trade association. These accomplishments made the newspapers in Hawaii. Wikipedia would better served by more content about NAPHSIS and its role in setting the policies that the United States uses to maintain the integrity of its vital records.
Of course the Obama birth certificate mess got him some national attention, a number of times, as his certifications became the basis fore state decisions to allow Obama on the Ballot, and as evidence in lawsuits such as Taitz v. Mississippi.
I would also point out that Wikipedia, at the time this entry was created, was looking for more content about notable Hawaiians. Dr. Conspiracy (talk) 20:57, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as per the nomination, this article is a pretty clear-cut case of WP:BLP1E. The only notable thing this man has done is verify Obama's birth certificate. IncompA 21:43, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I found nothing usable on Newspapers.com, and the only stuff I could find on plain Google was trivial mentions about Obama's birth certificate, and a book he wrote for the Hawaiian state government. (Also, apparently he was involved in a gay rights lawsuit, but that was just more trivial mentions of "the state registrar in Hawaii did so-and-so".) Nothing I saw seemed GNG-usable - all mentions of him are only about what he does as part of his job. casualdejekyll 23:14, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing how this person is notable per WP:GNG or WP:BIO. The sources given are merely quick mentions of him, and the one with the most information is a university newsletter talking about another article published about him.

Does not pass the GNG as a nominee to be the United States Ambassador to Cape Verde. Appears to be a case of WP:TOOSOON. Let'srun (talk) 15:32, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'm fully aware that just because she's a diplomat doesn't mean she's automatically notable. However, being a United States ambassador in general carries more significance and thus is notable. And I respectfully disagree with the notion that it's too soon; other United States ambassadors, both current ones and and those from long ago, have had articles when they were nominees too and were continually updated through their tenures.
That being said, if the consensus isn't to keep it, can it at the very least be moved into a draft? That way, I can work on it and simply move it back to the mainspace once she's confirmed by the Senate. Losipov (talk) 17:38, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be open to that option. Let'srun (talk) 18:02, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Let'srun I didn't notice it before, but I've now seen you have nominated dozens of articles for deletion, including judicial nominees and beauty pageant contestants. Several editors have expressed their concerns about these moves, and now I see it too. In the case of judicial nominees, you've been saying that those articles are also "too soon". Remember, more sources can be added as time goes on and they will likely have more sources after they've been confirmed. It's the same thing with ambassadors.
You didn't even consider that this article be made into a draft until I suggested it, but rather straight up deleted. Respectfully, I find it a bit inappropriate. And the article Draft:Ann M. Yastishock wasn't even considered problematic before and you moved it to a draftspace. I'm at a loss honestly. Losipov (talk) 18:03, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is classic BLP1E. Each one of the presented cites (but for the wedding announcement) are local sources concerning her strictly local pageant wins eleven years ago. Any winner would have gotten this local coverage. As a living person, we owe the subject direct detailing with significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources. We don't have any of that here, we only have pageant coverage from before she graduated college. And the wedding announcement, which is itself a blog post from her cousin who happened to professionally photograph the wedding (so doubly connected). As a matter of BLP policy, we need much more direct detailing and diverse sourcing before we should justify such an article. BusterD (talk) 09:15, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

PROD'd in 2015 for failing GNG, de-PROD'd because "it's a given name, and Wikipedia has a category for given names, so it seems notable by definition..."

Given names don't get a GNG carveout, so AfD it is. I was not able to locate any significant coverage of this name on a search. Normally I would simply turn this kind of page into a disambig to famous people who have the name, but no articles exist with this string in the title, so that's not plausible. ♠PMC(talk) 19:41, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Basically since creation, aside from a reference to Baidu, which is unreliable. Was requested to be undeleted by its original creator in 2015 after a 2011 PROD (see User_talk:Just_Chilling/Archive_9#Etian). User provided no sources, made unsubstantiated accusations that the article was deleted because of "bias", and has never edited a single other page aside from this one.

I was not able to locate any reliable SIGCOV that suggests this is a notable name. Normally I would simply turn this kind of page into a disambig to famous people who have the name, but no articles exist with this string in the title, so that's not plausible. ♠PMC(talk) 19:39, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable, no reliable sources. BoraVoro (talk) 07:40, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Seriously? he’s Literally the 1000 crore movie distributor, I’ve not completed the article yet, its a stub right now, he owns the AA Films you check that article, he’s along side Lyca Productions Karan Johar I think this is Literally the mistake, please consider it again once you search him on the web. I have not cited or added all the information as I’m yet to collect and write just started so anyone else who wants to can contribute ~~~ Autograph (talk) 07:45, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are Literally 1000s of Independent and reliable sources on him, presenting and distribution related in India he distributes film Pan India, and his recent films have been all time blockbusters and right now Anil Thadani is distributing every fifth film in India nationwide. Any admin should consider removing the tag. I personally feel This person deserves to be on wikipedia as much as Aditya Chopra Siddharth Roy Kapur Autograph (talk) 07:57, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
He most certainly does, but we need extensive, reliable sources that discuss him at length. Articles saying how pretty his family is or how he's divorced don't help. Oaktree b (talk) 14:35, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete "Meet Anil Thadani, Raveena Tandon's Husband" says the society pages headline, which sums things up nicely. Yes, he's big in film distribution, yes his company has distributed big films. Yes, he moves in Bollywood circles. Does that make him notable? It does not. No SIGCOV in independent sources. Fails WP:GNG. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:29, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment Okay I will cite significant independent sources and he does passes as general notable person, Because he has independent sources i will add the information later today and cite those. After that I will again come here comment to point those out. Autograph (talk) 13:42, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment I have added sources and his contribution in the films distributions please look at it once.

    Comment I dont mind if this article being deleted but anyone who's from India definitely would agree with me that Anil Thadani is one of the biggest film distributors and presenter in India today, and news does cover him as Raveena Tandon's husband because she's big actress in bollywood but he started his distribution company even before getting married to her, and have distributed numerous films even before getting married to her and those were India's biggest hits. if u are only concerned about the sources I dont know about that but as an Indian he's BIG name.

  • Delete because the subject fails Wikipedia:Notability. BLP1E or not, the subject must still pass WP:BASIC. I believe she does not. The only source that maybe qualifies under the GNG is a very small local newspaper. Here is a source assessment table:
Source assessment table prepared by User:IAmHuitzilopochtli
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
Greenville Advocate
Yes Yes. It is unclear whether or not this local newspaper (which doesn't even have its own wiki page) is reliable, but I currently have no reason to doubt the reliability as of now. Yes The entire article is focused on Scarlotte. ? Unknown
Miss Alabama website
No The subject competed in this competition. Yes No Mentioned in a list of winners. No
Miss America website
No The subject competed in this competition. Yes No Routine database entry. No
Kilgore Firm website
No Her husband's firm. Yes No Just a passing mention that she is his wife. No
Literary Council website
No She is on the board Yes No Just a passing mention that confirms she is indeed on the board. No
Alpha Delta Pi website
No Her sorority. Yes No Just a passing mention of her in a list of pageant winners who were members. No
Samford University website
No Her college. Yes Yes Short as it is, technically SIGCOV. Still not independent. No
Troy University website
No The college the runner up to her attended. Yes No passing mention of her as the winner. No
Jeff Sessions
No Her senator, (whom she also interned for). Yes No A routine acknowledgment. No

The result was delete‎. When policy changes it can be hard to find a clear consensus because it takes a while for wide acceptance of the new standards to bed in and its not helped by votes that assert a gng pass but don’t provide context of which sources pass and why. Here we have the benefitnof a detailed source analysis but its in the delete side and has not been refuted. The evidence is that the gng is not met so that gives us the outcome.

Delete fails WP:SPORTBASIC Karnataka (talk) 19:16, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay: There are weak hits here and there all over the place from a some obscure ones from Italy back to Latvia, one example, you can goto a news service like diena.lv and pick up some hits. la.lv have some weak hits, but not very good ones. ir.lv doesn't do sports as far as I am aware. There is a difference between the local newspapers in per regions in Latvia to the national ones. Up to you how you want to vote. But from what I've seen online, it's a weak keep for me, and the reason why I side with Keep is partly what SportingFlyer said. It's rare for a Latvian player to go abroad for football and Zelenkovs played in Italy, although in a youth setup. And now he is called up to their international team. You're just seeing the black and white and not the bigger picture from my point of view. Govvy (talk) 09:38, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think the second source is fine. The third source is from the Latvian federation, not a club. There are other additional sources out there as well - it's not as if this is the entirety of the information. SportingFlyer T·C 10:16, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Latvian federation is still a governing sports organization and so does not count as independent. JoelleJay (talk) 15:59, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah ok I thought you guys were just referring to the sources on the Latvian wiki. I don't really see why it matters where he's from if he doesn't receive SIGCOV...? The diena.lv hits all just seem like routine match reports. My own searches in Cyrillic didn't return much at all, and I only got transfer announcements and match recaps from 46.lv and Sportazinas.

Everything else is routine stuff like match reports or notes about his signing for RFS (which is all derivative of the non-independent club's press release).

Served for 35 years in the police, became Superintendant of Tiruchirappalli. Was awarded 27 Meritorious Service Entry and 150 Good Service Entry Medals. Among these, neither the 'Chief Minister's medal for gallantry' nor the 'President’s Police Medal for Distinguished Service' are mentioned in the linked "Awards and decorations of the Indian Armed Forces". BTW, the 'police medal for meritorious service' had 482 grantees in 2008. Subject then retired and became a motivational speaker. He spoke - at times a lot. And there, Ladies and gentleman, our case rests. Fails WP:GNG as a policeman or as a speaker. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:22, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Delete. One out of 480 recipients for a medal seems rather ROUTINE, not meeting GNG for the speaker position. Oaktree b (talk) 15:27, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello @Oaktree b, thank you for your message. I understand your concern regarding the number of recipients for the medal and its relevance to the speaker position. I'd like to clarify that the selection process for the medal recipients might vary based on specific criteria and guidelines. However, it's important to note that the medal recipients are not directly linked to the qualifications for the speaker position.
    The speaker position's requirements and selection process are usually governed by separate criteria to ensure a fair and suitable candidate is chosen. While the number of medal recipients may seem routine, it doesn't necessarily impact the selection process for the speaker position.
    If you have any specific suggestions or information that could improve the article or make it more relevant, I would be happy to consider incorporating them. Let's work together to ensure the content is accurate and well-represented. Please feel free to provide any further insights you may have. Thank you.

Even as the winner of Survivor: South Pacific, I can't help wonder whether finishing tenth in Survivor: Winners at War makes her more notable and whether finishing tenth itself is notable. Outside of Survivor, I couldn't find something else that makes her noteworthy. This isn't Tom Westman, also a two-time Survivor contestant.

If you check CC's page, most of the links are dead or behind paywalls. I feel that this should have been mentioned in a WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG nomination as it's impossible to know what's behind dead links and paywalls. From what we know of the sources I posted and some of the sources mentioned in the other links, she was on interviewed on Portland TV about her win, she did various appearances and MC gigs, she was covered in TLC's Miss America 2010 preview, she was interviewed on 105.1 FM The Buzz and had multiple articles written about her in the dailyastorian. She's very clearly a local celebrity in Oregon. I believe there's more out there and with her winning 4 pageants, I have more reason to suspect that more coverage exists.KatoKungLee (talk) 00:42, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    All of the coverage appears to be pretty routine and is a case of BLP1E being the winner of a statewide pageant. It isn't sustained, and as such doesn't rise up to the standards needed to keep just because sources exist. WP:LOTSOFSOURCES is not a reason to keep any article.
    Some of the sources you linked to are simply Facebook posts as well, which aren't at all reliable. Let'srun (talk) 01:43, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Let'srun - The point of the facebook links are that we now know more coverage exists, which is important in a debate about WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV.

Article fails WP:BIO, current sources are a list of Academy Award nominations and a very brief obituary. Searching finds very little with coverage of the award nomination limited to the name appearing in articles listing all nominees. For example this list article. A redirect to Das Boot (film), where he is mentioned in the Accolades section, is an alternative to deletion. Gab4gab (talk) 18:19, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The German article has more information: de:Trevor Pyke. Unfortunately, despite Pyke's notability, neither the English nor the German articles have information about his life and career that doesn't come from IMDb, an unreliable source (WP:IMDB), or his terse 2-sentence paid obituary. I found no good refs except some tiny little bits.[18] Hence the redirect; we just don't have enough to build an article with.

  • Comment: is the claim of lack of significant coverage because no coverage exists, or because you couldn't find it online? This is someone who would likely be covered in West Virginia newspapers during the 1980's—presumably the Charleston Gazette and Charleston Daily Mail, possibly others, such as the Huntington Herald-Dispatch, Parkersburg News, Wheeling Intelligencer—of which very few issues are available online (for example, Newspapers.com has the Daily Mail up to 1977, including some years of the Sunday Gazette-Mail, but none of the others, and no West Virginia newspapers of note during the 1980s; the Google News Archive seems to have only the Point Pleasant Register—a small town paper—from 1986 to 2004). But it's quite likely that these papers would have covered "Miss West Virginia 1984", and even more likely that they would have mentioned her death or the governor naming her a "Distinguished West Virginian" a few years later. Have you searched for coverage in likely sources, or was this limited to Google searches and online newspapers? P Aculeius (talk) 14:03, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @P Aculeius - He's doing a mass run through of various pageant contestants. He has nominated 9 beauty pageant articles in the last 3 days. I do not believe all of these nominations could have possibly been researched properly and I think it's asking a lot of people interested in this subject to go through this many articles at once.KatoKungLee (talk) 03:33, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I admit to having my doubts as to the notability of national beauty pageant contestants (as opposed to winners, or people who first came to public attention through pageants). But doubts aren't enough to determine notability, IMO, and I've seen many more articles nominated for deletion that shouldn't have been if a thorough search for coverage had been made, than I have articles for which there really was no justification.
In this case, I strongly suspect there's local newspaper coverage of some kind, but I also know that there are very few West Virginia newspapers from the 20th century available online. I do know there are archives besides the ones I have access to, and of course various libraries have these papers on microfilm, but they're not very easy to search if you don't know the exact dates you need. It seemed unlikely that the nominator would have searched them, but it was worth asking. It's technically the responsibility of the person nominating articles for deletion to show that significant coverage does not exist or is unlikely to exist. It's not the responsibility of those opposing the nomination to find coverage, although it nearly always works out that way.
If the nominator hasn't looked for coverage in the sources most likely to provide it, then I think this nomination should fail—along with other similar nominations if the nominator didn't search for sources other than on Google. There's a world of print sources that simply aren't available online, and it's not sufficient to report that online news sources don't provide coverage for events of local or regional interest from over thirty years ago. P Aculeius (talk) 03:58, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I searched beyond google, to be clear. Let'srun (talk) 04:03, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, news doesn't equate to notability. Let'srun (talk) 04:04, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
News verifies facts that make people notable; the extent of news coverage is what SIGCOV is about. And the relevant question isn't whether "any sources other than Google" were searched—it's what sources were searched?. Since we know reliable sources that are not widely available or available at all online exist, and probably include coverage of the subject of this article, the article cannot be fairly deleted without checking those sources. P Aculeius (talk) 04:16, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I searched all sources I had available. Fair point regarding the coverage of newspapers on newspapers.com and Google, but even so that would still make her fall into WP:BLP1E. I also could not find any coverage of her receiving the Distinguished West Virginian award, and it does not appear to be sourced in the article as is. Let'srun (talk) 03:46, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BLP1E explicitly states that it only applies to living persons, or to persons who have recently died. Pennington died in 1988, so this policy clearly does not apply. Different standards apply to the notability of people who have been deceased for a considerable amount of time. The policy also specifically refers to people notable for only a single event; being named a "Distinguished West Virginian" by the governor would presumably be a notable event in addition to her being named "Miss West Virginia" and representing the state in a national pageant.
The fact that you couldn't find coverage of this is irrelevant if there are likely to be reliable sources that would verify it, and again—if you didn't review West Virginia newspapers (specifically Charleston newspapers, IMO, given both where Pennington was from and the governor's involvement) from 1988 (or local coverage of the pageant; there was likely some mention of Miss West Virginia prior to or following the pageant), then WP:BEFORE has not been satisfied. The fact that these papers may not be available online is irrelevant.
It may also be possible to contact the governor's office and find out whether there is a list of "distinguished West Virginians" named in past years, or a reference that might mention them (for example, the West Virginia Blue Book for 1989 might mention such recognition). The offices of the Gazette might have an index mentioning people and events by name, topic (awards or proclamations by the governor), or date. At the very least I would expect an obituary to verify the date of Pennington's death, and perhaps fill in some details; and it's likely that there'd be a short news story on or around the same date, since clearly her death at a young age came to the governor's attention. Unless sufficient information can be found to suggest that any of the facts mentioned in the article are hoaxes—i.e. a diligent search of sources that ought to mention them turns up nothing, meaning that the sources that would mention them, if any, have been identified and searched—this nomination should fail. P Aculeius (talk) 04:13, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the blue book before; it doesn't state such recognition. Let'srun (talk) 18:13, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Presumably acts of the governor are recorded somewhere, and as stated above, there should be newspaper coverage. The fact that the Blue Book doesn't mention it doesn't tell us that it didn't occur. Perhaps the thing to do would be to find out what was done in some other instance of the governor naming someone a "Distinguished West Virginian" and then figure out where—besides the newspaper—it was recorded—or to ask the Governor's office what would be done if someone were named a "Distinguished West Virginian" today. That might tell us where to look, assuming the process hasn't changed since 1988. P Aculeius (talk) 21:50, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is important as not only do we not have that, we don't have footage of any local television or radio broadcasts either, which would be the main sources of coverage. This is also pre-internet, so there will be little there. A lack of access to sources is different from not having any sources. There is some coverage on her here 1 and with her winning the pageant, being awarded an award from the governor of West Virginia and passing away unexpectedly at a young age, I expect more coverage to exist as it's an interesting story.KatoKungLee (talk) 00:50, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: We need some more opinions here. And while sources may be difficult to find, they are necessary for verification. The absence of available sources can't be twisted around to be seen as proof that sources exist. We can only use what is findable, not what we imagine might exist.

Non-notable musician, sources are only IMDb and music database, with third being primary. Record label is also non-notable, searches bring up a fictional namesake and Discogs profiles etc. Karnataka (talk) 22:23, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

From the list of sources provided by this user, I cannot read two that are from Canadian newspapers due to database access. For all the others, every single one is about someone else's concerts or albums, with Mr. Cullum only being listed very briefly as producer or for other session work. That does not qualify for significant coverage, in which the subject needs to not only appear in a reliable source, but there must also be encyclopedic information that can verify facts in an independent article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:25, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply. Let me describe my thought process on this subject, I hope this is helpful, I do not mean to be confrontational in any way. Per WP:SIGCOV "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. As this is a biography, examples of trivial mentions given in WP:BASIC include simple directory entry or a mention in passing ("John Smith at Big Company said..." or "Mary Jones was hired by My University") ... a birth certificate or a 1-line listing on an election ballot form is not. paraphrased by me of course.
Again note that, excluding trivial mentions, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability
Now each of these seven sources provides something short that meets SIGCOV, being not trivial.
  • The Paul McCartney source describes the success with Tears for Fear, high tech production, lush sound, and being more synth-sounding than McCartney wanted. All of this is tied directly to the subject's work and goes beyond a passing mention of the example above (like being hired)
  • The Enya source is similar, describing the subject's work directly and in detail.
  • Then we have a variety of short coverage that go beyond just "being hired",
    • We have reviews of recordings that discuss the sound in depth. Keep in mind that recording production is a creative endeavor. To discuss the sound of the album and name the producer is to review the producers work.
      • Eg. an ethereal and juiced-up orchestral concept album built around Brennan's soaring voice and crystalline harp work..... It was produced by Ross Cullum (Tori Amos, Tears For Fears, Enya) and Chris Hughes[29]
    • We have discussions of the artists' career and perception amongst peers and industry
      • eg. for example, Blake opted out of recording his album with hip label stablemate Howie B after just a few days, choosing producer Ross Cullum (who has worked with Enya) instead. The album was recorded at Cullum's studio The River in London[30]
      • eg. ...they were quickly signed by Universal Classics and Jazz who enlisted Ross Cullum, the man who worked with Enya, to produce their first album,[31]
      • eg. The creation of the "classical crossover" album Journey On followed a chance meeting with Zarecki, who convinced Hawkins to fly to his homeland to record the instrumental component of the album with Polish musicians, then travel on to London to record her vocals under the direction of another producer, Ross Cullum.[32]
We don't need any original research to extract content from any of those sources. And there are indeed more similar sources we can pull from, I stopped looking when I felt I had enough to demonstrate that I could write a start class article about this subject. We can attribute where necessary to keep WP:VOICE, and the variety of sources can help avoid WP:UNDUE weight.

Those aren't references, they're a list of stuff found in a basic Google search. See Wikipedia's requirements for reliable sources. The only thing in that list that can be considered reliable is AllMusic, but all they have is a list of credits in which this man's name appears briefly. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:17, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - The "Keep" voters above are trying diligently and probably in good faith, but Wikipedia's rules make it tough for producers who are only listed in the credits for other people's works. That is all that can be found in any of the sources currently used in the article or proposed in this debate above. I have no doubt that Mr. Cullum has worked with many important musicians, but he has simply received no media coverage in which someone highlighted his works and career in their own right. And that's what we need for an encyclopedic article with verifiable facts for the reader's benefit. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:29, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Since he was active in the mid-80s/90s, I was convinced that I could find significant offline coverage. I was wrong -- I searched ProQuest, Newsbank, and Newspapers.com and didn't come up with much beyond what is already mentioned.
There are two very positive sentences in the LA Times about his work with Emma Townshend: (Nichols, N. (1998, Mar 22). Pop music; album review; Emma Townshend "winterland" EastWest, home edition, Los Angeles Times) and a snarky paragraph in the Washington Post about his work with Moya Brennan. (Moya Brennan, Two Horizons" [final edition]. (2004, Feb 27). The Washington Post). There's also this, from in a story about Tears for Fears in the Sun-Sentinel: "They kept producer Chris Hughes from The Hurting, but elected not to use engineer Ross Collum (sic), whose meticulousness finally caused a split between him and Hughes while working on an album by the group Wang Chung." (De Atley, R. (1985, Sep 20).No tears, no fears for British (Sun-Sentinal edition).
There's a lengthy interview here: [43] It isn't a valid source, but there is a lot of information if anyone is up for doing a more targeted search. Commenting rather than weighing in; I'm in between weak keep and weak delete.

  • Delete No sources that would result in this person being notable. I can find various "profiles" (linkedin, professional sites, etc.) but no other info about her. Oddly, the first resource links to a news story about her husband being killed in a car accident, which isn't mentioned in the article. All rather odd. Lamona (talk) 00:02, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete due to lack of significant coverage in independent, reliable secondary sources required to satisfy Wikipedia requirements for "notability". Of the 141 hits found on ProQuest, most were bylines by her as VP of Fed Govt Affairs for the AANP, particularly a recurring column in The Journal for Nurse Practitioners, plus public commentary issued as press releases by the AANP where she is listed as the main media contact. There was surprisingly little about her as Miss California, except for a couple of brief quotes as a Miss America contestant – she lost $20 her first time in a casino, "Teachers are important". (Not every contestant gets quoted though, so good for her.) The best piece of coverage about her was a paragraph in Politico (2013) about her heading up the new lobbying effort by the AANP coming from the American Health Care Association; but that's all it says. Other than that, she gets two passing mentions in The Washington Post: mentioned once as one of three women who made a "beeline" for buying used pilates equipment when a fitness guru decided to downsize (link per Oaktree b above), and how much she and her spouse hold their house for. Cielquiparle (talk) 00:39, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    A search on Newspapers.com yields a total of 9 hits, 8 of which were Miss California-related mentions connected to the Miss America pageant: in addition to the two topics mentioned above, we find out she danced to the swing tune "Go Daddy O" and craves carvel ice cream and cannolis. But as it turns out, she also managed to get several paragraphs in other pieces, including a humorous anecdote about her and Miss Nebraska doing an impromptu comedy routine in the casino in Atlantic City for a reporter (Asbury Park Press) – and, most impressive, recognition for her decision to invest the scholarship money she was paid as Miss California in the stock market to pay for law school (Press of Atlantic City). Finally, there's a photo of her at a society fundraiser in South Florida Sun Sentinel. In any case, while the Miss America-related coverage does give us a better sense of her as a person, it still isn't enough for a standalone article about her as a lobbyist.

Subject does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. The only reference in the article does not pertain to the subject at all. A WP:BEFORE check only came up with WP:ROUTINE passing mentions from his various roles, with nothing that would pass for WP:SIGCOV. Let'srun (talk) 13:21, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • This comment sums up the decline of Wikipedia in a nutshell. When this article was created in 2006, there were still people around who understood that the purpose of a biography is to credibly tell the story of someone's life. Nowadays, between running off many editors with common sense and gaslighting newbies who don't know any better, we've twisted things to where the intent of a biography is to mindlessly repeat whatever detritus one finds lying around through a Google search and nothing more. You should really take a good look at some of the articles created in recent years with that mindset, consisting of a random series of sentences connected solely by the presence of citations at the end. Many of them are an absolute embarrassment to read and serve little purpose other than to enforce the real-world perception of Wikipedia as a haven for the autistic. Here's the real BLP issue. As the opening paragraph states, "On July 30, 2007, Metcalfe announced his intention to run for Alaska's At-large congressional district in 2008". On August 7, 2007, the article received its only substantial improvement from a user whose only contributions to the project were those edits. Meanwhile, nearly 16 years has passed between those edits and today and people are still grasping for other things to blame? Unfknbelieveable! RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 03:24, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • 1) It's not a good look to falsely imply that the article only contains one source. I see several sources but only one properly formatted citation.
I turned them into citations so that it is easier to see what is there. I didn't make all of them complete but I think it is now possible to understand. Lamona (talk) 02:04, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
2) It's not a good look to say or do nothing while someone is a candidate for office, then come back well after the fact claiming they're non-notable for the same reasons that applied back when the article served as free publicity for their campaign, yet that has occurred over and over again across the encyclopedia for years.
3) It's not a good look when philosophies which worked for years on this site are changed on a whim to satisfy those pushing a starkly black-and-white view of notability. For a long time, NPOL generally referred to statewide political leaders. He qualifies in that regard as a state chair of a major political party, an office he held at the time the article was created. There's also Category:State political party chairs of Alaska and we tell people that categories reflect defining characteristics of notability. In the context of Alaska, the Anchorage School Board is a major office. Anchorage School District enrollment has comprised about five to eight percent of Alaska's entire population in recent decades. School board members in Anchorage serve areawide, which means his constituency consisted of eight times more people than a state senator. Are you telling me that's irrelevant because of whatever one-size-fits-all view Wikipedians have about particular titles? Without giving serious regard to what makes a biography a biography (as someone mentioned to you in another AFD, WP:ROUTINE has nothing to do with biographies), you turn this project into a directory of holders of titles. WP:NOTDIR is a policy, whereas the pages you refer to above are only guidelines. Last I checked, we're supposed to give more weight to something if it's a policy. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 03:24, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Metcalfe is mentioned in passing in the context of routine events, which is the point I was aiming to make, although I admit I could've made it better. The last time I saw, wikipedia is not a textbook, and if you want NPOL to include school board members, make a proposal in the appropriate channels. Let'srun (talk) 01:27, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I dug up some articles and left links at Talk:Jake Metcalfe. I had to quit before I could read them all. I think any notability will come from his being a long-time political fixture in Juneau and a powerful labor leader, not a failed election campaign. A major player at the capitol from the way it looked to me.

  • Thanks for digging up the articles, A. B.. I looked at all of the ones that weren't paywalled, and in each case it was a brief mention of Metcalfe in an article about someone else. There is nothing that I see that is better than the sources in the article, and those don't support GNG in my opinion. All of what we have about him is routine reporting on his time in office.

The best source in this article is Associated Press: "Scott Woodward’s career has been nothing short of remarkable. With his keen eye for creativity and unwavering work ethic, Woodward has risen to the top of the advertising industry through a journey that has been both interesting and unexpected." we are told - the issue being that this is 'contributed content' - a press release. Little else exists here to demonstrate notability - passing mentions, (gushy) interviews and pieces about the brands the subject has worked with.

Martin Tupper (physician) (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)

Proposing deletion under WP:N failure. Subject is noted in sources mainly for:

  • being the father of Martin Farquhar Tupper and marrying into a family with notable people (WP:BIOFAMILY).
  • for having notable upper-class patients (WP:INVALIDBIO).
  • for having been offered a Baronetcy twice (both times refused). This itself indicates that perhaps the subject was notable at the time, but there doesn't seem to be any information out there to back that up, other than him being a well-regarded doctor. At least one of those times it sounds like he was a backup choice: "Dr Tupper had twice refused a baronetcy. In 1817 he had been offered by his friend Lord Liverpool the reversion of a baronetcy refused by his brother, Peter Carey Tupper (who had distinguished himself as British consul at Valencia and Barcelona). This he declined because he was the junior partner in his medical firm and did not wish to provoke jealousies among his seniors. In 1829 the Duke of Wellington renewed the offer in regard to Dr Tupper's own services, which had by then placed him at the head of his profession. Again the honour was refused, apparently because the doctor doubted whether the family fortune was sufficient to sustain it, and felt that the arrangement might be detrimental to his four younger sons." Hudson (1949), p. 53
  • for being a member of significant societies: but Wikipedia certainly doesn't have a biography of everyone who was ever an FRS or FGS.

Currently the article sources are mainly primary or relate to his son, in which Dr Tupper is only mentioned in passing. His son's main biography and autobiography don't contain anything that indicates Dr Tupper was particularly notable. It doesn't help that his famous son is also called Martin, but I haven't managed to find anything else.

  • Weak keep, otherwise redirect to Windsor Beauties#List of Beauties per Username6892. I'm not familiar with The Fair Ladies of Hampton Court but it was at least published by a major publisher (Little, Brown & Co.) and gives the appearance of representing fairly thorough and sober research. It devotes five pages to a biography of Brooke, which seems like very substantial coverage to me. And then there's this approximately one-page note in Notes and Queries by William Francis Prideaux, a biographical researcher of some note in his day. Add in the lesser coverage to be found here and there and I think there's a reasonable amount of encyclopedic material to work with. (And to the extent this might still be a borderline case under NBASIC, while Dryden is certainly not a reliable source, such an indicator of contemporary significance should IMO weigh somewhat in favor of an article.) -- Visviva (talk) 02:54, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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

Sources exist that prove this business entity is in existence in New York, United States. Existence is not notability. Based on my evaluation of WP:NCORP, the sources present do not satisfy WP:ORGDEPTH.

Shortly after I PROD the article, someone objected it and dropped a NY Times aticle, as an external link. The Hunt is a column in which NY Times is acting in the capacity of a local paper covering house search in NY and the newly added article fails to provide any coverage of BoND as a business. per WP:INHERITORG, coverage on the proprietors do not permeate into their company even if they are individually notable for reasons other than the company in question. Graywalls (talk) 18:58, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment searches for "BoND" generate a thousands of extraneous hits for "bond". I suggest searching using "Noam Dvir" +"Daniel Rauchwerger", the two partners. --A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 19:06, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All the coverage in the world about one of them individually, or about the pair have very little weight to establish notability for the legal entity; unless significant, in depth, independent coverage and analysis of them with relation to the company they've established, or about the company itself can be found. One has to be broadly circulated. Their house hunting endeavor in their personal life covered in The Hunt column of the New York Times acting in their agency as a local paper don't have any notability weight. The only thing that article did is to be a reliable source that the two men were correspondents for the Haaretz paper at one point. So, it is reliable source to verify that, but not to establish a grain of notability for their company. Graywalls (talk) 19:32, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
BoND is a two-man design firm. It could just have easily been named "Noam Dvir and Daniel Rauchwerger" - we have these sorts of BLPs that cover two closely-connected people together. I think we're wrong to focus on the "legal entity" alone. A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 21:04, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • See also WP:ARCHITECT item 3:
  • ” 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 multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series)”
A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 22:11, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The guideline you're quoting is not relevant here, because this article is about their company. Similarly, bands or band members qualify through WP:NBAND, architects through WP:ARCHITECT.

Would you name the two or three out of those that you would suggest for the purpose of establishing business notability so other editors are not burdened with having to go through every single one of them? This is often a significant hardship in deletion discussion in people, product and company articles. Those authored by the same journalist, or from same publication counts as one. Those based on interviews with company personnel or press releases do not pass. WP:ORGIND Graywalls (talk) 03:19, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Graywalls, I appreciate your enthusiasm for keeping Wikipedia clear of unsourced articles. However, I think you're overly focused on establishing notability as a business independent of the married couple that are the business: Noam Dvir and Daniel Rauchwerger. There's just two people. BoND is short for "Bureau of Noam & Daniel"
There are no articles that are only about "BoND", a company.
Should we just rename the article "Noam Dvir and Daniel Rauchwerger", turning it into a people article? They've gotten coverage in multiple countries. Also, in their pre-BoND period, they did some noteworthy stuff at Harvard.
--A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 03:41, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We can certainly chronicle their journey into forming the company in the background or history section; but those do not contribute towards notability. This article is about their architectural firm, a company. The proprietors chose to play off their names but coverage about them as individuals do not credit towards the business. In Wikipedia, a tuning shop owned by a renowned former race car driver can not piggy back notability off coverage that is not significant about the shop. It does not matter what how the business is named. If the coverage is not for the business, it does not count towards notability. We need CORPDEPTH and AUD passing coverage on the BoND, not about their proprietors outside of the article subject business. Graywalls (talk) 05:13, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a radio personality and public transit announcer voice, not properly sourced as having any strong notability claim. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they have jobs, and have to be reliably sourced as the subject of coverage and analysis about their work to independently validate its significance -- but this essentially just states that he's had jobs, and is referenced solely to his staff profile on the self-published website of his own employer, which is not a notability-building source as it doesn't represent independent attention being paid to his work by people without a vested interest in it. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the subject of coverage in sources other than his own paycheque provider. Bearcat (talk) 13:06, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For the NY Post, its RSP entry states that there is consensus that the New York Post is generally unreliable for factual reporting especially with regard to politics..., but it excepts sports reporting. My reading is that in this case, as it's neither politics or sports reporting, it is still generally unreliable. Hence, unless I am missing something, I'm not sure where you got that there's "no consensus" on RSP. (However, I have no strong opinion on the NY Press source and am not making a !vote now.) Thanks.

Keep. The justification to delete speaks about the article being sourced only to something written by his employer. But searches indicate there is news reporting about his voice work, which is described as one of the most famous voices in New York. Independent reporting about his work is what the nominator said was needed. I think arguably, he meets WP:CREATIVE criterion 4c, but less arguably the justification to delete is incorrect, a searches as per WP:BEFORE identify more sources than are discussed in the nomination.

The aerospace talk link seems to be a forum but is in fact a broken link. The other source, rahrovan-artesh, is based on a blog and recounts his exploits in prose that makes GA Henty seem like Enid Blyton.

added one ref: Cooper, Tom; Bishop, Farzad (2004), Holmes, Tony; Hales-Dutton, Bruce (eds.), Iranian F-14 Tomcat Units in Combat, Osprey Combat Aircraft, vol. 49, Oxford: Osprey Publishing, ISBN 1-84176-787-5.--Patricia (Talk) 15:51, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - an Iranian ace deserves an article. But the refs just aren't there.
    • First, I checked the book, Iranian F-14 Tomcat Units in Combat. I don't have it so I went to amazon. When I use amazon.com's look inside feature and search for Yadollah Khalili, I come up with nothing. Then I look at the index and see why: the book only lists aircrew for a small fraction of the total F-14 victories.
    • "IRIAF badass airaces". Pakistan Defence - mentions Khalili once in passing
    • "Memories of the Greatest Air Fight in the World". Oral History. - good enough for me to believe, but not enough for our rules
    • مستند نبردهای تامکت پخش شده از شبکه یک صدا و سیما جمهوری اسلامی ایران. No link, no description
    • "اسطوره‌های آسمان‌های ایران". روزنامه دنیای اقتصاد in my browser's very sketchy translation doesn't seem like it's about Khalili or aircraft
    • ماجرای ثبت طولانی ترین گشت هوایی رزمی جهان. - عملیات ها و دستاوردهای نهاجا در جنگ - رهروان ارتش - links to a message board - not a reliable source
    • قهرمانان نیروی هوایی - صفحه ". www.aerospacetalk.ir -- My browser couldn't find that domain.
      • Note that the URL is: www.aerospacetalk.ir/vb/showthread.php?t=23519&page=7
        • If it's to a discussion thread, it would not meet our requirements.

  • Delete There is no evidence the gentleman was a flying ace. Searcing the first ('Razoux 2015' is hardly helpful) and third source for the subject returns no result The second source, a Pakistani blog, gives a passing mention of the subject sourced to the Wikipedia list of Iranian flying aces article which itself is sourced to our friend M. Razoux. The fourth source is a bunch of old photos of pilots in which the subject is merely named in a group caption. The fifth, Mehr News Agency, source does not mention the subject. So in total, we have here a whole bunch of precisely nothing and it needs to go. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:03, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with Loud (esports), though I would weakly support for deletion. There is enough for me to say that he passes GNG. That is, there seems to be enough interest in the Brazilian media from the refs in the article (WP:THREE: 1 2 3). They're not all great, but they demonstrate to me some notability.

Hello all,

First: The article does not meet the criteria for personalities, there are no real achievements, and it is clear that the article was created for promotional purposes only.

Second: The article was deleted four times from the Arabic Wikipedia, and whoever created this article was banned due to vandalism and published the article over and over again.

Obviously, this article is for promotional purposes only. Osps7 (talk) 17:42, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I totally disagree with you. Actually it meets the criteria for personalities, She is famous, has real achievements, popular in her country. Always appear in TV shows. She got several prizes. She is very well known business women. Google her name in Arabic (سمية الناصر) you will find many trusted sources. Mazin suliman (talk) 18:03, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, I reviewed the Arabic version of this article which was deleted by you.
First of all: the Arabic version was direct translation of the English version. It is not new article. The translation took place after the English version was published.
Second: The user was not banned. You got in conflict with him. As result you came here to English Wikipedi and ask for deletion of this article to force your opinion which is not fair.
Again, the article meet meet the criteria for personalities. She got several achievements and got many international prizes. She is famous and popular. Mazin suliman (talk) 18:45, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for lack of coverage. Other than CNN, rest are non-RS or promo. I only find two hits in Gnews, neither of which seems like much. Oaktree b (talk) 19:19, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Oaktree,
Thank you so much for your replay. regarding the coverage, I can mention more than 100 trusted sources.
Here are examples:
Forbes Middle east listed her among the top 100 influential women in middle east: see here name listed in #98
[62]Forbes Middle east
Also, English Vogue and Arabic Vogue talked about her
Other popral trusted sources: Mille , ELLE, harpersbazaararabia. Haya, abouther Hia, popsugar, Youm7 , Okaz (government newspaper), Sayidaty, al-madina (government newspaper) , gheir, foochia, almarsal, hayatouki., healthmagazine, all of these magazines, websites, newspapers talked about. I can add more if you want.
Kindly, take into account the following topic Women's rights in Saudi Arabia which may create many challenges. Mazin suliman (talk) 19:57, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @Oaktree b, I improved and edited the article by adding more reliable sources. I hope this addressed your conncrns. Thank you for your comments. Mazin suliman (talk) 22:21, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the personal squabbles to yourselves, we're here to review the article on the quality of the sources. The rest is immaterial. Oaktree b (talk) 19:19, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will. Thank you so much. Mazin suliman (talk) 20:06, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've gone through the article and according to my knowledge it meets the notability guidelines for WP:BLP and criteria for WP:Notability (people). As per the research, the subject has many credible citations and mentions on notable platforms, newspapers, and media outlets. Therefore, it can be improved and made better in future.
I think the below source is not merely a passing mention and can be used:
The National News
The below link also clarifies the fact that she was among the top 100 influential women in middle east. Furthermore, I think the source is quite reliable as well.
Gulf News
Moreover, I've removed the amazon book listing link the article had. --Leojuan (talk) 08:41, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The listed sources do not have any international reference, and I suspect that they are paid news.
Also, the discussion is to delete the article, not to gather votes!! Osps7 (talk) 11:29, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Osps7. I guess you're mistaken here. You should have gone with UDP (Undisclosed paid) tag, and not deletion right away. You've opened a deletion/discussion log for this article, which makes clear sense to me that it needs suggestions/votes to either keep it or remove it. Coming back to the fact where you mentioned that the listed sources do not have any international reference. Can you elaborate on that? Gulf News is considered to be an international source to my knowledge. Maybe I'm wrong here. But it still doesn't make any sense to open a deletion page and not taking suggestions for keeping or deleting the article. Thank you! Leojuan (talk) 12:07, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Final relist to hear from some experienced editors. I'll admit I'm skeptical of "lifestyle coaches" no matter what their nationality. Coaching is an interpersonal activity and it's hard to demonstrate notability in it. I also wonder how she could have possibly, at 41 years of age, trained 200,000 people...that's a small country! So while there is a rough consensus to Keep, I'm skeptical enough about the claims of the article to warrant a third relisting.

  • Comment - based on searching the title of the Arab News source "Peace without Borders announces first Saudi peace ambassador", this appears primarily based on a press release, which includes the extraordinary claim, "She has trained more than 200 thousand people". Beccaynr (talk) 16:41, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep. Liz, I share your skepticism about 200,000 trainees. I've spent 2 hours on refs. Sadly, I went through all the chaff before finding the reliable stuff. Ms. Alnasser, to a certain extent is famous for being famous in the Middle East. Also, from reading the local news coverage in translation, some of her fame is the novelty of her messages (such as self-care for women) in Saudi Arabia - stuff that seems self-evident in other cultures. She is also a great self-promoter.
    Looking at the sources:
      • Vogue, Mille, Hia are interviews. See Wikipedia:Interviews.
      • Harper's Bazaar article appears to be written by Sumaya Alnasser
      • Haya-online.com is used as a ref in only one article.[63]
      • AboutHer.com is owned by Saudi Research and Media Group. We use it as a ref on 50+ articles.[64] The article is bylined and gushy.
      • PopSugar is an article/interview hybrid.
      • youm7.com is very brief
      • The foochia.com article is too short. It's fluffy. Only 5 articles use that site as a ref. Similar issues are with refs to gheir.com (3 article use that site) and healthmagazine.ae (3 article use that site).
      • "Peace without borders" is a 3-word phrase that shows up many times. The organization mentioned in the article seems non-notable. The domain pwbparis.org no longer works; here is Archive.org's history
        • The Kawa, Okaz, Gulf Daily News, almrsal.com articles are brief articles about Sumaya Alnasser winning their award or being named a peace ambassador.
      • The hayatouki.com link didn't work.
      • The Forbes Middle East article ranks Sumaya Alnasser 98th on the list of 100.
    (Warning, my web translator did a very poor job with this article- another honoree's name was translated from Arabic as "Orgasm of the Runes")
    The Sayidaty Award for Excellence and Creativity seems like a legit honor (compared to 98th on the Forbes list and the mythical Peace without borders honor)
    Here is the Arab Wikipedia deletion log.(Google translated version) Interestingly, one of the deleted articles was created by a now globally banned admin with 200,000+ edits. Looking for a paid editor for your bio - go for the top guy!
    Conclusion: String together the solid The National (Abu Dhabi) article, the non-interview part of the PopSugar article + maybe a few pieces of other stuff (carefully selected) and I find marginal notability. That said, I won't cry if Liz deletes this.
    --A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 19:13, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Content substantially similar to the press release also appears in the 2018 source by The National (Abu Dhabi): Saudi life coach Sumayah Alnasser: 'The more I meditated, the more I noticed everything improving', including a "more than 200,000 clients around the world" claim. The National source is largely based on her statements and has a focus on promoting her meditation CD The Back Door - the writer does not provide their own secondary commentary about the CD. The 2018 Vogue interview The First Female Saudi Life Coach on Her Top Tips for Success says she "delivers courses in Arabic to thousands of clients worldwide," and offers several "quick-fire tips" (quotes) from Al-Nasser, and promotes The Back Door at the end of the interview. The 2018 Health Magazine source noted above, "The Path to Loving Yourself – Renowned Saudi Life Coach, Dr. Sumaya Alnasser on Cultivating Self-Relationship" is a press release; the Gulf News source noted above UAE expats among 100 most Influential women in Middle East is reporting on a Forbes list and the presence of some expats on the list for the first time - Al-Nasser is only briefly mentioned in a reprinting of the full Forbes list of 100 most influential women in the Middle East: "98. Sumaya Al-Nasser, Founder, Sumaya 369". Beccaynr (talk) 18:53, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - there does not appear to be sufficient support available for WP:BASIC notability at this time, and Wikipedia is not a means of promotion. In my comments above, I identified sources that appear to draw on press release content and/or are based on interviews, and/or otherwise lack secondary context or commentary to help support notability. Other sources include a 2018 Pop Sugar interview You're Meditating Wrong, According to This Saudi Life Coach which includes a quote of what she "previously said" and quotes from what she says, followed by "five steps to getting started" with meditation that are not clearly attributed to her. I think reporting on the Forbes list can help show its significance; an Al Riyadh (newspaper) source was added to the article (Google translated: "Six Saudi women are on the Forbes list of the most influential women in the Middle East") and states (translated), "As for the last Saudi woman in the Forbes list, Sumaya Al-Nasser, the founder of the “Sumaya 369” company specialized in the consulting sector, ranked 98 in the classification.") However, an Argaam source, titled 6 Saudi women on Forbes most influential list repeats the "has trained more than 200,000 people" press release claim in its blurb about her. The Forbes list itself says (Google translated): "Founder, Sumaya 369, consulting sector, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia". And as noted above, there are various sources briefly reporting announcements, e.g. Okaz about the 2018 Peace Without Borders peace ambassador with a brief general blurb about her work; Al Madina (newspaper), reporting (Google translated) "The Prince of Al-Sharqiya honors 20 Saudi winners of the Sayidaty Award for Excellence and Creativity"; she is listed as one of two honored in the humanitarian and social work category. In the 2019 CNN interview source, (Google translated), there is "the presenter’s astonishment that she holds a doctorate in interpretation and the sciences of the Qur’an and is not veiled" reported, which seems more substantial than interviews promoting her CD or offering tips on success or meditation, etc. While she appears to have some independent recognition, most sources appear promotional and/or lack independence, reliability, or the secondary context or commentary needed to support notability and help develop a neutral and balanced article. Beccaynr (talk) 21:40, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Beccaynr, Your assessment is different from mine, so the admin should probably look at the two I noted and decide for themselves.
    --A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 23:27, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    To clarify the policy reasons supporting my !vote: I used a search method that can be helpful for identifying advertisements masquerading as articles, i.e. finding press release content incorporated into other sources, particularly in sources with other signs of promotion, such as The National, with its reliance on her statements and lack of independent secondary commentary on her work, while other sources, such as Vogue and Al Riyadh, do not repeat the extraordinary claim also made by the press release.
    Our notability guideline has two prongs - first, whether there is support for GNG or its functional equivalent - there do not appear to be sufficient independent, reliable, and secondary sources with which we can build an encyclopedic article; second, whether this article should be excluded by the What Wikipedia is not policy - the sources largely appear to demonstrate that this article should be deleted, because of the need to protect the encyclopedia from promotion and advertising.
