- Speedy delete per G12. Wikia content is, unless otherwise specified, available under the CC-BY-SA license. The author of the page has not included a backlink in the form of a URL or in any way indicated that this content is copied from Wikia, so that technically makes it an unambiguous license violation and therefore falls under speedy criteria. SITH (talk) 20:50, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- @StraussInTheHouse: it was pointed out to me earlier today that "mere lack of attribution of such works" is not enough for a speedy under WP:G12. But most of the author's other copy-paste creations have been deleted under other speedy criteria, so a speedy !vote makes sense regardless. Bakazaka (talk) 01:35, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

- Keep — Sadly this article is in awful condition. Subject certainly meets notability guideline. ESPNDeadspin, Wrestling Observer, Fightful, Pro Wrestling Sheet, Wrestling Observer, Wrestling Observer, Pro Wrestling Sheet, and Wrestling Observer. Based on this sample of sources meets WP: ENTERTAINER and WP: GNG. STATic message me! 22:21, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep For the reasons Static listed. Article certainly could use more work. Janela is enough of a notable name in pro wrestling to have an article. As the articles condition goes I think we should give it a few days and come back and check to see if any progress to the article has happened --HC7 17:47, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

I had a lot of IMDB sources of her work in voice acting/other but they were deleted- unsure what's a reputable source to prove what she's done but I can add them here once I figure it out-- is IMDB not a reputable source for first reference?

I have print articles but would need to upload them to the site under public domain?? MatrimBloodyCauthon (talk) 21:59, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but none of these are in-depth coverage and in any case Wikia, Youtube, IMDb, press releases etc. are not reliable sources for establishing notability. Theroadislong (talk) 22:53, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete I cannot see anywhere near sufficient IRS. If there were IRS for all of, or even just a significant number of, the facts in the unredacted version of the article, it would be a definite keep, but I am unable to find such. Perhaps move to DRAFT space until the current paid author can get their material together? Aoziwe (talk) 12:23, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- Draftify I agree that the version of the article ca 29 December has a lot of information about her roles which could indicate notability (it also gives more to search on, now I've realised that it's there). My understanding of WP:NACTOR "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" is that if there is reliable evidence to verify those roles, that is enough - that it can be primary evidence to verify information (ie, websites etc of/from the companies that made the programs or games). I do consider the ABC News story mentioned above [2] to be independent, reliable and significant. The LA Weekly story has less coverage, but does verify one of her philanthropic roles. Perhaps draftifying would be the best option at this point, then editors who wish to can work on it until it's ready for main space. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:44, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Of course, even if primary sources verify information, they do not demonstrate whether the productions themselves are notable under something like WP:NF. That needs to be demonstrated on top of verifying that the roles are significant. MarkH21 (talk) 10:40, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, and the 29 December version of the article includes 3 blue-linked video games that she had significant roles in. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:13, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- I'm skeptical about whether her roles in Star Wars: The Old Republic (character not named anywhere on the Wikipedia article) and Payday 2 (side character mentioned once in a long plot synopsis) are really significant. The other role is the Final Fantasy XIII character which I would consider a significant role in a notable production as noted before. MarkH21 (talk) 18:14, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Viasat Film. To quote User:BabbaQ, Articles need sources. Yes they do. And these don't have them, as User:Ad Orientem points out. No sources, no WP:V, no article. There's not strictly a consensus to redirect, but it seems like a reasonable thing to do, per WP:ATD. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:58, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

- Redirect to Viasat Film, along with Viasat Film Comedy, Viasat Film Family, Viasat Film Hits and Viasat Film Premiere This is per past consensus of multiplex premium film channels like HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz and Sky Cinema, where usually the additional channels those services have can't stand out on their own (and going by cable's future, will likely make way for just a couple channels thanks to VOD); these channels all have genres they usually doesn't drift from, and we can't really expand it beyond what we have now, along with the latter two, which describe 'proven film hits' and 'air only newer films'. No merge because there's just too little there, but all four should definitely be retained as plausible redirects. Nate • (chatter) 23:18, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
- When you say "no merge because there's just too little there", have you taken the infobox into account? I'd argue it contains useful information. /Julle (talk) 00:00, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- I did; it contains cable positions easily merged into Viasat Film, but outside of that, the information is mainly duplicative since it's a suite of channels which all share the same history, outside of individual names. Nate • (chatter) 06:26, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- I think there is some misunderstanding here. Article notability or use are not based on size. Every single of these articles should and can be expanded with individual information. All are clearly notable.BabbaQ (talk) 08:33, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- As already described above, these are all multiplex channels. They usually carry a certain genre of film and nothing more than that, and can be described easily in a paragraph in Viasat Film, as we have done for the other premium multiplexes we list here.

- Comment Some can be found in newspaper/periodical databases, which are the places to look for coverage of a non-superstar who worked in the 1990s. But basically it's two versions of a Canadian Press NewsWire story, and a Seventeen profile:
- Heiman, Carol (14 July 1995). "Island Beauties - Is it the air? The wonderful climate?". Times Colonist. p. 1. is a 1100+word front page story, about 85% of which is specifically about Salmon.
- Litwin, Grania (8 Aug 1995). "Her face, her fortune; At 19, B.C.'s Carrie Salmon is on her way to mega-model status". The Gazette. p. C.4. is a 650-word profile on her travels, appearances in magazines, and growing career (at the time). It also refers to a profile of Salmon in a French magazine, but does not specify which one.
- "Personal style: Carrie". Seventeen. Vol. 52, no. 11. 1993. pp. 122–123. which is a text/photo profile of her personal style.

- Delete as non-notable. --Lockley (talk) 04:21, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. Models are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because an indiscriminate directory of models technically verifies that they exist. For a model whose most notability-approaching work was in the 1990s, possible media coverage might not Google very well, so this could potentially be recreated if somebody is able to dig up enough archived media coverage about her to get her over WP:GNG, but Bakazaka is correct that what they found isn't enough to do that. It takes considerably more media coverage to get a person over the bar if the notability criterion you're shooting for is "passes GNG because media coverage exists" than it does if you're shooting for something on the order of "won a major award for her work". Bearcat (talk) 20:33, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep To meet WP:NMODEL, we need reliable verification that she did do shows for the brands named in the article. To meet WP:GNG, we'd need SIGCOV in IRS. I think we would find both, particularly the former, if we had access to offline sources. Online, as well as the 1993 and 1995 sources Bakazaka found, I also found:
- The New Yorker, Volume 73, Issues 1-6, 1997 [3], a snippet view that verifies that she modelled for Dior.
- The Times Colonist also had a story in 1993 (18 March, pages C1 and C2) [4], 'Saanich teen: a role model', about the Seventeen profile, names her school, how she got to New York and then to Paris, had already modelled for Seventeen, Marie-Claire France and Italian Glamour.
- The Times Colonist again, 3 April 1994, p. M4 - a paragraph in an article, which gives the information that she had also appeared in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar by then. [5]
- So those sources confirm some information in the article, and could add more. The 1995 article also verifies magazines and mentions a brand, L'Oréal, not yet included in the WP article. Overall, I would say there are enough sources to verify that she does meet WP:NMODEL, and WP:GNG. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:34, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete I don't find the sources Rebecca posted enough to meet either WP:NMODEL (only a Dior verification, not enough) or WP:GNG (passing mentions or not WP:SIGCOV which requires multiple significant coverage in reliable secondary sources in detail).

- Soft keep. Revised previous vote on the basis of the subject appearing to meet WP:GNG based on the Montreal Gazette and Times Colonist sources given here, although I cannot verify the sources themselves nor whether they're really significant coverage as I do not have access. I'm not convinced the subject meets WP:NMODEL, but that's irrelevant if she meets GNG. The material from these sources need to be incorporated into the article. MarkH21 (talk) 22:11, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete, non-notable model who fails WP:NMODEL. A few articles in local newspapers and passing mentions in others are not significant coverage that shows that the wider world has taken any notice of her. That she has appeared in fashion magazine is pretty much run-of-the-mill for a model. Hzh (talk) 14:55, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

The only independent source that I can find for this priest is the one from The New Indian Express cited in the article saying that he has been declared a servant of God, the first of four steps towards canonization. If he is eventually declared a saint then he will almost certainly be notable per WP:ANYBIO, but without any further sources being a servant of God is not enough.

- Redirect, if the problems with targeting can be resolved; else, delete. In principle, the rational redirect target would be List of Servants of God. But that's a markedly incomplete list whose inclusion criteria are not immediately forthcoming. Complicating the issue, there's an apparent content fork at Candidates for sainthood. I'm neither willing nor, frankly, competent in the topic area to try to clean this up. And I think there's at least an outside question about whether such a list is tenable in the first place (if the latter of the two lists represents the rate that people would be added, a full historical accounting would be, erm, long). If that's all fixable, then a redirect here is the obvious choice. Otherwise... Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:56, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Declared a Servant of God, so on his way to canonisation. I think he meets the notability threshold. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:11, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- There is nothing automatic about someone being declared a servant of God later being canonised, so the subject cannot be said to be "on his way to canonisation". This is a necessary, but far from sufficient, step on that path. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:20, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

- Redirect (to List of Servants of God). Redirect for the reasons stated by Nom - insufficient at this point - there are large numbers of SoG and being one doesn't make one notable. Additionally, since many of them don't make it to sainthood, deciding that reaching this level is equivalent because they will be saints is no more than WP:CRYSTAL. As to the redirect target, there appears to at least be some difference, but there are certainly contentfork issues and confusion. For the moment, one is so clear-cut that it makes logical sense.

Appears to fail WP:NWEB. The Media section consists of 19 links it asserts all feature the product. However, all of these reviews happened over a short period of time and there's little indication the site has had a lasting impact on the Internet or the culture surrounding it. Furthermore, most of the reviews are hosted on blogs or social media sites e.g. StumbleUpon and eMusician. The other coverage, save for Fox, is mainly localised or lacks editorial oversight.

*Just a comment, StraussInTheHouse... eMusician (Electronic Musician) is an actual magazine rather than a blog, and a reliable source if cited properly... it's just not clear from the citation link in the article if the review was copied from Electronic Musician to a personal web page, and without a proper citation it can't be verified.

- Keep - I'd like to refer back to the discussions of the first AfD for this article. Noted that User:DBigXray keeps initiating deletion processes on weak grounds: "run of the mill" is not a valid deletion argument, moreover the deletion request misses that notability is not temporary. If the group was notable at any given moment, it fullfills general notability criteria. --Soman (talk) 12:53, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
- Soman Please read and familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Arguments_to_avoid_in_deletion_discussions#Arguments_to_the_person and Wikipedia:Comment on content, not on the contributor. Your !vote which focussed on ad hominem failed to provide any reason or reliable source to prove the notability of this political party. You are using Strawman argument here. Contrary to what you are accusing me of, I have not nominated this article because WP:ILIKEIT or WP:IDONTLIKEIT or its a run of the mill party, it is nominated for AfD since it fails wikipedia's notability criterias WP:NORG and WP:NOTINHERITED. On AfD discussion, just making an Assertion of notability is not enough. If you can provide sources that prove this party was notable at any point of time, I am willing to withdraw my deletion nomination. But remember that those sources you present must pass WP:ORGCRIT on their own merit and should not attempt to WP:INHERIT notability from the founder. Per NORG the subject needs significant coverage in "multiple" independent, reliable secondary sources. --DBigXrayᗙ 13:28, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

- "Qualifying source" for the leader or the Manch ? The topic of this AFD discussion is "Dr. Syamaprasad Jana Jagaran Manch", so the WP:ORGCRITE table of sources has to address whether the article does an in depth coverage of "Dr. Syamaprasad Jana Jagaran Manch" or not. Even if the article does a 3 para "in depth" interview of K. N. Govindacharya or Tapan Sikdar that is not helping the subject in anyway. These individuals are already notable and notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. --DBigXrayᗙ 20:45, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

- Weak delete. The Europa Star article seems to be solid enough, but we need two. And I wouldn't think that would be hard for an 80-year-old Swiss watchmaking company, but apparently I'm wrong. I'm fairly certain the archived International Watch Club link (in See Also) is not a reliable source. I've tried searching just about every watch periodical I can find, including the Watch Times Middle East edition, to no avail. My advocacy for deletion is "weak" because I do suspect that somewhere in the last 80 years, this company has been addressed in print media. Perhaps in French, perhaps in Arabic. But not immediately searchable. However, I can't really justify retention based on that belief and one good source, so there we are. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 18:07, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Needs evidence of meeting WP:MUSICBIO: There are hints of notability from what links here, but the article is the kind of self-conscious promo bio that usually indicates someone trying a lot harder on Wikipedia than a notable performer needs to. Closeapple (talk) 11:56, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

- Delete per my own nomination: The article, rather than establishing the requirements of WP:MUSICBIO, is instead an illiterate mess of a promotion, complete with all-caps names and WP:PUFFERY of various associations with greatness, and wikilinks to the wrong things. Unsurprisingly, this performer had an album coming out when the article was written (2014), and had a first band album coming out exactly when the article was doubled (2017). However, there are some hints that Liv Warfield might be notable: Warfield seems to have received nominations for various urban-music-specific awards (one of 6 nominated for the 2014 Soul Train Music Award for Best New Artist, 5 nominated for BET Awards 2014 Centric Award, 5 nominated for the 2015 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding New Artist). She was the musical guest on an episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. So if someone can find significant reliable, independent coverage (i.e. not placed by labels/managers/promoters), good for them. But other than the Wikipedia links, I'm not even going to bother searching this time, because this is yet another of those WP:COI "contributions" that Kobalt Music Group seems to have inflicted on Wikipedia from time to time.

- Persecution of Christians in the modern era (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · of Christians in the modern era)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
In my opinion, this article (permalink) should be deleted. It is a huge Original Research and Synthesis. Because of the lack of secondary sources addressing the issue, the article has turned into a Directory and a big part of it is a hoax.
- Not notable. The notability question has been placed in the talk page (and the relevant template in the article) but concerns were not addressed. There are plenty of articles describing Christian persecution in various places in the world. But we can not sum up the notability of persecution in different regions, to establish the notability of Christians in the world. Plus the phrase "in the modern era" is pretty vague. What exactly is the modern era? Modern history? The lack of secondary sources is evident from the first sentence which is not able to offer a valid definition of the article. Even the first reference does not even mention the word "Christian".
- SYNTH The article is a huge Original Research and Synthesis. Many sources are not even talking about persecution, but about attacks on Christians. These attacks are have been upgraded to the status of "persecution". Ie in Israel, 3 teenagers have burned hundreds of Bibles, the article informs us.
- Hoax. A large part of the article is a hoax. Claiming that there is Christian persecution in Europe, even in UK (which is not even a secular state) is ridiculus IMO. Hoax is the inevitable result of the SYNTH that has been taking place in the article.Cinadon36 (talk) 08:21, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

- SPEEDY KEEP - Persecution of Christians is an obviously notable topic (e.g., in Egypt, Iraq, China, Afghanistan, India) and there's sourcing in independent, reliable sources to show it is. E.g., 1 2 3 4 5 6. In terms of coverage of worldwide persecution this is also easy to find: 1 2 3 4. If the article is full of BS, then go and clean up the article: AFD is NOT cleanup. FOARP (talk) 13:55, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
Speedy keepRepurpose: per FOARP. The topic is clearly notable because of the vast amounts of coverage it's received, particularly in China. If you've got a problem with the title, take it to requested moves. If it's not an unambiguous hoax, improve it. SITH
- User:StraussInTheHouse valid point, but Persecution of Christians which is notable, already exists and Nom failed to mention this. So you might want to reconsider. --DBigXrayᗙ 22:12, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Looking at the article in more detail, and its parent article, I see what you mean. The determination of "modern" does stink of original research, but if it could be made more objective and cleaned up I wouldn't be averse to a more meaningful content fork per WP:TOOLONG. But it does need to be made more encyclopedic, either by TLC or TNT. SITH (talk) 22:15, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Either redirect and merge to Persecution of Christians or merge the (entire) modern era section from that article. For some bizarre reason, this article's hatnote implies that the modern era starts in 1989. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:43, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Did consider this but there's a clear length issue with that article. 1989 is a weird starting point but ultimately that's a page-quality issue, not for AFD. FOARP (talk) 21:28, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep A discussion is currently taking place about refactoring the various articles on Christian persecution, and depending on the result of that discussion the content in this article may merged elsewhere, but there is an abundance of sources relating to this topic and this article can not be reasonably argued to be non-notable or otherwise worthy of deletion. The nominating editor appears to believe that events need to fit their particular criteria to be condsidered "persecution", a view which I understand but for which they have not obtained consensus. -- LWG talk 14:24, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks LWG for understanding my view, but my redflag is not "notability" but the violation of WP:OR. OR is a reason for Deletetion according to policy. Year 1989 is placed as the the first year of modern age which is absurd and OR that we can not deal with. Merging with "persecution of Christians and avoiding turning the article into a directory, is the best solution IMHO. Cinadon36 (talk) 14:38, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- I could get behind that were Persecution of Christians not already WP:TOOBIG. I don't consider the OR issue as serious as you do: when there is an abundance of material on a topic we have to decide how to split it up, and if we did that poorly we should fix the article, not delete it. The "modern era" problem can be solved simply by renaming the article and/or removing the hatnote. In short, there are a number of possible solutions, but deletion of the article is not a good option and other options should be discussed on the respective talk pages instead of here. -- LWG talk 15:09, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

- Strong keep: Christian persecution in the modern era is a well-sourced and clearly notable topic, clearly meeting WP:GNG. Numerous examples of modern-day Christian persecution exist, as a brief internet search I did found: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 --1990'sguy (talk) 21:01, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Of course, this article is obviously notable and should be kept. I should mention that it is very fishy that the same editor who created the article called "Christian persecution complex" is the same individual nominating this article for deletion. Is this an attempt to try to create an ideological narrative? desmay (talk) 03:37, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep as an overwhelmingly notable topic, the article can be improved so original research is removed and only referenced content is used WP:AFD is not cleanup Atlantic306 (talk) 18:08, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep or if not Merge This is a notable topic. Maybe some clean up needed but there's not a case for deletion. Another alternative would be to merge the topic with the main Persecution of Christians page if there's too much overlap. Wikiman5676 (talk) 03:37, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep but improve to solve any NPOV and content issues. The main issue is not whether the persecution of Christians in the modern day is notable--it is, as many others have pointed out. The main issue is instead whether this should be a separate page from Persecution of Christians per policies like WP:PAGEDECIDE. I believe that this should be a separate page for several reasons. Firstly, I think it's the right editorial judgment. Christians being subjugated under the Roman Empire is a fundamentally different topic from Christians in the Middle East today being denied civil rights. Secondly, reliable sources see these as two different topics; you will never see BBC News give the context to the current crackdowns in China as "the Roman Empire also persecuted Christians." Finally, the fact that news articles are likely to continue reporting on this subject means there will be a lot to write about. --Leugen9001 (talk) 05:38, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I see no issue with keeping it since it is a notable issue - e.g. some news articles just in the last month [20][21][22]. I see it as easily passing WP:GNG. The main problem I see with the article is NPOV (and the odd decision to use 1989 as the starting date), some of the entries cannot be described as persecution. That however is not a deletion issue, and AfD is not the place to tidy up articles. Using "hoax" as a rationale is just plain ridiculous. Hzh (talk) 21:05, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

If this were an org that came close to meeting WP:NORG, it might be worth keeping and putting in the effort to fix the structural problems with the article, but it's not, so it's not. I'd have no objection to somebody writing a new article on this topic if they could find better sources (or even adopting this one in draft/user space to work on), but it's not worth keeping in its current state. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:14, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Fails WP:NSEASONS as a season article for a team not in a fully professional league and does not have enough significant coverage that goes beyond WP:ROUTINE sports reporting to meet WP:GNG. PROD was removed by a user who claimed that WP:NSEASONS does not require fully professional status, however there is clear consensus that this is not the case (see 1, 2, 3 (with links to several more), 4, 5).

- Weak delete As I've noted before, WP:NSEASONS is not an exclusionary standard on professionalism grounds and I don't know why we've corrupted it to read it that way. This is a season in a country's top flight and in theory has enough coverage to merit an article. That being said, there's only one citation so far, so it doesn't meet WP:GNG. I'd like to see this developed because I'm curious if enough sources exist, but a quick couple BEFORE searches brings up cricket articles, so I don't have a good keep argument.

- Delete As per the above, consensus is that with regards to football, WP:NSEASONS is only met if the league is fully-professional (see e.g. here). Number 57 09:52, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- I really don't think the consensus is that strong, if it exists at all - having reviewed a number of these AfDs (primarily the ones linked at Leyton Orient), the professionalism was a requirement only you and Fenix Down really have discussed (also here: Barcelona B). There are many football season articles that have been deleted for failing WP:NSEASONS, but "failing WP:NSEASONS" generally appears to be more of a "fails WP:GNG/WP:NOTSTATS" argument (as these articles require or should require prose) instead of any sort of professionalism requirement. See 1 2 3 4 5 in which you are the only one making a professionalism argument (with one exception); they are also examples from the English football league pyramid, which doesn't help the project in Bangladesh. So I really don't believe a professional league requirement is any sort of consensus, but rather a "Football League" consensus. To be fair, non-top flight teams do face an uphill battle anyways, as do semi-pro teams, but those leagues aren't typically covered as well. You could easily have an instance where one team passes WP:NSEASONS with flying colours (everything they do gets reported on, think Rangers F.C. (Scotland) in the Third Division) and every other team in the league does not (scores only, etc.) The test really needs to be whether WP:GNG is satisfied through non-routine reporting as opposed to any sort of arbitrary cutoff... SportingFlyer talk 06:48, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- The consensus exists; if you want some non-English examples: Faroe Islands, Iran, Luxembourg, Scotland, Wales. Worth noting that Fenix down actually started a couple of them (the Faroese and Welsh ones) on the basis that clubs need to play in a fully-professional league, so their claim below that their interpretation that the consensus only covers English leagues doesn't appear to be correct. Number 57 10:22, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- I still don't think we should be deleting articles based off an arbitrary rule without looking at WP:GNG (which some of those articles clearly fail.) SportingFlyer T·C 23:35, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

- Keep - I disagree with the comments above that the consensus is that leagues must be fully professional. My interpretation of previous discussions was that those AfDs established a very specific consensus, namely that whilst there is a sufficient degree of professionalism within the National League in England, that it is too far down the pyramid to be considered a "top professional league" per NSEASONS. The AfDs noted above to my mind either deal with the English pyramid question or leagues which are deomnstrably semi-professional. Discussions both here and here show, that whilst there is not consensus that the league is fully professional, that there is a significant level of professionalism in this competition beyond that found in the AfDs above for those competitions.

KeepAlready voted above More reasoning (I voted before, not sure if it is allowed to vote twice). Specifically, this is not a blatant attempt at self-promotion of an organization, which is the whole point of WP:NCHURCH and the related policy for schools. As for whether it is notable, if you type "baptist" and "ireland" into Google scholar, you get a variety of third party sources. So the topic is notable. Why was this article created? Probably because someone didn't want to clutter up the main denominational article, and instead link to the list through a Wikilink. Sure, if the original author knew how to make a collapsable template, he or she might have done so, but this was easier, and it works too. Why can't you have multiple ways to do something?--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 05:00, 18 January 2019 (UTC)- I think you're misunderstanding what this actually is, particularly given how you say you searched for it (this isn't a list of all baptist churches in Ireland). This is a list of churches affiliated with the Association of Baptist Churches in Ireland. No one is disputing here that this organization is notable. The question as I see it is what the informational value is of listing out all the nonnotable individual churches that belong to this organization, and I haven't seen an argument for doing that yet. I'm tending to view it more like a list of companies, which we would tend to limit only to notable examples. postdlf (talk) 20:02, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Info is factual and verifiable. Good for records. Wikipedia also has lots of "List" pages like this. Mgbo120 (talk) 20:43, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- It might be verifiable, but that isn't the point of this discussion. Also WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Ajf773 (talk) 22:51, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- It seems that some here are proposing that notability must be regressive to the sub-parts of an article. It makes no sense to assume every word, topic, organization, etc. of wikipedia must be notable for an article to be notable. Or even that there must be a percent like 5%, 10% ect. must be notable. See Münchhausen trilemma for more on regression and the alternatives to using it. Resolving the Münchhausen trilemma is an epistemological question. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a philosophy, so assumptions (even if practical and philosophically naive) about which fork of the trilemma to come down on should have no basis in determining an article's deletion.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 02:31, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- See instead sophistry. I’ll mark your argument down as “why not?” Which is not very convincing, nor specific at all to the content or subject. postdlf (talk) 03:37, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Probably could/should be included onto Template:Lists of religious worship places. Lists of "notable" churches, i.e. lists of individual churches which are themselves Wikipedia-notable (have Wikipedia articles) plus select other churches having supporting references about them, are usually/always notable in Wikipedia. Here, at first glance it may seem there are no links to any individual churches' articles, but in fact there are already 2 or 3 bluelinks to existing church articles. See also Category:Association of Baptist Churches in Ireland churches. It would help if there were more. But if we have some examples in a category, as we do here, then there can/should be a list-article, basically, by wp:CLNT.
- Note, a recently closed AFD (deletion nominator was the same as here?) was for List of road churches in Finland, where i voted keep based on establishing that some/many/most were individually notable (based on sources discussed, although seeming not to have wikipedia articles yet) and then eventually 40 or so links to new or already existing Wikipedia articles were added and it was closed Keep.
- Here, probably some of these are historic churches, perhaps listed on an Irish national historic register, or otherwise individually notable from any kind of coverage? Could we add any detail with sources about any of these? But we have already several having articles, so keeping the list is obviously the correct thing to do. If editors want to discuss list-item notability, i.e. whether its coverage should be limited to fewer items than those already being bluelinks, then that is a matter for Talk page discussion, not AFD. --Doncram (talk) 06:10, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment, are these all the AofB churches in Ireland? are they all notable? if not, why are they included in the list? ie. WP doesn't have lists of all the residents/businesses/schools/libraries of every community, just the notable ones, indeed there are numerous communities that don't have a seperate list, they have a section list, (sometimes) its only when that section causes the article to be out of balance that a breakout list occurs, why are churches any different? so whats the problem with having a section called "Notable churches" within Association of Baptist Churches in Ireland, include the churches that have their own article, and the churches that are just awaiting an article ie. the ones alluded to by Doncram above (with a couple of appropriate references of course) ps. i'm a Merge. Coolabahapple (talk) 14:29, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

- Delete Fails NOTDIRECTORY. -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:50, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
- Suggestion: While the two bluelinks happen to remain bluelinked they should be listed somewhere, so either keep or merge/redirect is appropriate. The problem is that the bluelinked pair appear not to meet any kind of notability criteria sufficient for retention as articles. So, on the presumption that that is the case: get them deleted first, include https://www.baptistsinireland.org/churches/ as an external link at Association of Baptist Churches in Ireland and put in an anchor there, try redirecting this article there (there's probably some rule that IAR can be applied to), and if that's reverted then renominate, at which point some of the arguments in this AFD will have been nullified, and the blacklinked list will be clearly less useful than the church's own directory. So I guess that's a vote for "Keep or Merge but Delete or Redirect". ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 08:28, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

WP:BLP of an athlete, actor and cultural educator, whose claims of notability are not properly referenced. As always, none of these are fields where a person is granted an automatic entitlement to have a Wikipedia article just because he's technically verifiable as existing, but the referencing here is not cutting it in terms of establishing that he's notable:
- His claims of notability as an athlete derive from sporting events, such as the International Arctic Games, that do not confer an automatic pass of WP:NATHLETE without solid sourcing, but are referenced solely to a couple of short pieces in community weekly pennysavers that aren't widely distributed enough to pass WP:GNG if they're the best you can actually do for referencing.
- His appearance in a short documentary film is metareferenced to a Vimeo copy of the film, rather than any evidence of reliable source media coverage about the film.
- His authorship of a book about traditional Inuit sport is metareferenced to its own publication details, rather than any evidence of reliable source media coverage about the book to get him over WP:NAUTHOR.
- His claims of notability as an actor boil down to supporting and bit parts, not major roles for the purposes of clearing WP:NACTOR, and are completely unreferenced. But actors do not get a free NACTOR pass just because roles have been listed, as that would hand a free inclusion pass to every single actor who exists at all — the notability test for an actor is the reception of reliable source media coverage about his work as an actor, but none has been shown here at all.
- His claims of notability as a cultural educator include being awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, a one-off award which was presented to 60,000 Canadians in 2012 and thus does not instantly make them all notable in and of itself if no other notability for other reasons has been properly demonstrated; participating in an expedition that's "referenced" only to a photograph on the self-published website of the organization that sponsored that expedition; and winning a non-notable award from that same organization, as referenced only to an article in that organization's own self-published member magazine which glancingly namechecks Issaluk's existence in the process of being primarily about somebody else.
All of which means that none of the referencing here is properly establishing him as notable at all, and none of the claims are "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 21:18, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

— KEEP:
@Bearcat, I've just updated the article based on the issues you reference above. I definitely feel the article should not be deleted, as I believe Issaluk meets the standards for NACTOR / GNG having been the lead in a film which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival (Kajutaijuq), supporting roles in two other TIFF films (Indian Horse and Falls Around Her), supporting roles in high profile film and television (Indian Horse was produced by Clint Eastwood, and the Terror was produced by Ridley Scott), etc. Most recently he was Romesh Ranganathan's guest star on his primetime BBC2 program.
My sense based on the social media around him is that when people search for him they are looking for him as an actor, so I've revised the article so that that sections on Traditional Inuit Games and Community Work come later (and I've kept them intact because they are relevant to his career as one of the only Inuit actors to appear in feature films and television).
Let me know what you think. Qilalugaq (talk) 05:10, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
- As I already explained, actors are not guaranteed Wikipedia articles just because they've had roles, or even because of where the films they had roles in happen to have premiered or what other notable person happens to have produced them — notability is not inherited, so an actor is not automatically guaranteed an article just because he appeared in a film or TV show that has one. The notability test for an actor is not passed just because his performance in a role can be technically verified by IMDb, or the self-published website of the theatre where he had a stage role, or the inclusion of his name in the caption to a photograph — the notability test for an actor is passed or failed by the degree to which his performances have or have not made him the recipient of distinctions, such as Canadian Screen Award nominations and/or media coverage about him. None of your new sources are doing much to improve the notability case here — too many of the new sources you've added are still primary sources rather than reliable or notability-supporting media, and even among the ones that are media, the only one that's about him to any non-trivial degree, rather than just glancingly mentioning his name in the process of being about something or somebody else, is still a limited circulation local newsweekly and not a major media outlet. Bearcat (talk) 19:29, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
Keep. I think he clears WP:GNG, having good mentions in the Mississauga News, the CBC, and Nunavat News, with supporting documentation elsewhere. Curiocurio (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- He doesn't have a "good mention" in the CBC, he just gave a brief soundbite at the film's premiere in an article that's about the film, not about him. People get Wikipedia articles by being the subject of enough media coverage to clear GNG, not by being soundbite-givers in articles about other subjects — and neither the Mississauga News nor the Nunavut News are widely distributed enough to constitute "enough media coverage to clear GNG" if they're the best the subject can actually show. And "supporting documentation" doesn't carry notability either, if the person hasn't been properly shown to clear WP:GNG in the first place. Bearcat (talk) 20:09, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
@Bearcat Thanks so much for following up. I 100% understand what you're saying and why you're saying it and appreciate the time you're taking with this. I have added new secondary sources from the Toronto Star which discuss Issaluk's acting more directly as well as an interview with him featured in this month's issue of Canadian Geographic. Part of the difficulty in sourcing this particular article is exactly why I wrote it in the first place: major media outlets (the kind that ensure an article easily passes Wiki GNG standards) don't tend to cover Arctic or indigenous issues and people. So as a writer who wants to see better representation on Wikipedia and help to grow WikiProject Arctic and WikiProject Indigenous Peoples of North America (both of whom Issaluk is indexed under), I'm often stuck using sources from less-circulated media (like smaller newspapers in the north that are often considered too local to be objective) or settling for small clips or soundbites of Arctic/indigenous actors in articles that spend the majority of the time talking about the widely-recognized Southern or European stars. (It's definitely disheartening to see so many non-white actors/artists on the AfD chopping block over precisely this issue.) In Issaluk's case, however, I genuinely believe we've reached the proper GNG threshold based on Wiki's guidelines, but of course I welcome further discussion, as I know we have the same goal, which is to democratize knowledge without sacrificing rigor. Qilalugaq (talk) 05:17, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Just to be clear, as important as it is to improve our representation of underrepresented groups, we don't and can't do that by creating special lowered notability standards under which members of minority groups can get in the door on less accomplishments, and/or less reliable source coverage, than a straight white man would need to show. As unfortunate as it is that some groups of people don't get as much media coverage as others do, it's also not our role to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS by waiving our notability and sourcing standards just because the subject happens to be a person of colour, or a woman, or LGBTQ, and on and so forth. (For example, it's not our responsibility to institute a rule that only straight white men would actually have to pass a notability standard before they get in the door, while women and people of colour and LGBTQ folk could get in the door just for existing.) Unfair though it may seem if you believe in the goal of improving representation (which I do as well, by the way), we can't do it by waiving our notability and sourcing rules just because the subject happens to be a member of one of the underrepresented groups — we do it by working harder to find the women, LGBTQs and people of colour who do meet our existing notability and sourcing standards and are just getting ignored or missed, rather than by creating special reduced notability and sourcing standards for them.

- Keep I have found evidence of him winning medals at the Arctic Winter Games in 2002 (1 gold, 1 silver) in a Team Nunavut report [23]. The 2002 game results do not seem to be on the Arctic Winter Games website [24], and no years prior to 2000 are listed either. That aside, I believe he does meet WP:BASIC, as there is certainly coverage "in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." Some of it does appear to be significant coverage, and "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". Besides the sources currently in the article, I found other coverage too, including a review of his book [25], and other news coverage, such as [26]. RebeccaGreen (talk) 08:42, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

As of now it is not even established which year did ABJS came into existence. The year 1979 without any ref, was in the infobox and it was me who copied it from infobox it into the article, I tagged it as [citation needed].

In fact, there are may other sources using this term for that party [31]. The "Akhil" prefix was used occasionally. See for example, Donald Anthony Low (ed), Soundings in Modern South Asian History.

I prodded it with 'Seems to fail WP:Notability (websites)/WP:Notability (media).' only to notice it was prodded a few years back. While the prod was removed, I am not convinced this website is notable - no in-depth coverage, sources are mostly primary or in-passing. At best, if there is no consensus for hard delete, I would suggest a soft delete through redirect and perhaps some minor merge to the University of Texas at Austin page.

- The first link is an article about a parade in Racine in November 2018. All that is says about the band is the following:
That's doesn't seem like significant coverage at all to me. The band is mentioned by name a single time and with a brief promotional sounding description. The second link is an article about a Renaissance Faire the band appeared at in 2012. There's a little more about the band in this article than the parade article, but again it seems more trivial coverage than significant coverage (at least to me). The band is mentioned in a section titled "Familiar faces" and the focus seems to be more on one of the band's members than the band itself. Local bands appearing at local festivals often get mentioned in articles written for local newspapers by local writers, especially if the band has a local following and has appeared at the festival before; however, I don't think that kind of local notability equals Wikipedia notability. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:18, 10 January 2019 (UTC)Bounding Main, a Racine-based vocal group, is set to perform a unique blend of maritime and holiday themed songs.

- Keep Would pass WP:NPOL as a former member of a state legislature. I think the concern for some here may be that Nathwani was appointed in the six-week period between the 2018 election and the swearing-in of a new State Senate. If that's the case, it may be a slight grey area (did he actually get sworn in, or was he a placeholder? Was the Senate in session during this time?) but regardless I think that existing notability policies still apply. Could use more WP:RS, but passes notability checks.

The reason I created this article is that I read in the Daily Herald that he was appointed to the Illinois Senate. I looked for a Wikipedia page on him and didn't see one, so I created one. Beyond that, however, what we're here to discuss isn't whether he's held two elected positions or not (that's irrelevant), or whether he's a political "wonk" (not even sure what that means -- are you trying to call him a political hack or an opportunist?). No, all we're here to discuss is: Is this subject notable by Wikipedia's well-established standards? The answer by a clear consensus that has been formed among Wikipedia users over the years is yes. Being in the upper legislature of a U.S. state automatically confers notability, regardless of the duration of that individual's time in office. Therefore, the subject of this article is notable.

- Wikipedia articles do not have to follow size restrictions. No matter what you think about the size of the person's notability claim, there is no such thing as "this person is only notable enough to have one short paragraph" vs. "that other person is notable enough to have a longer article" — if a person passes a notability criterion, then their article is always allowed to be as long or as short as the depth of reliable sourcing about them allows us to write. Notability criteria only govern whether a person qualifies to have an article at all or not, and once that test has been passed they do not impose any caps on how long their article is or isn't allowed to be.

- Keep. The notability test for state legislators does not only attach to current incumbents, as was claimed by at least one person in the edit history — everybody who has ever served in the state legislature is always eligible for an article regardless of whether they're still in office today or not. The article does not read unduly promotionally in its current form, and any minor conflict of interest problems can be dealt with through the normal editing process — but concerning the fact that the subject has edited the article himself, the only edits I can actually see in the article history that are signed "Yadav15" just involve perfectly reasonable formatting corrections and a perfectly neutral statement of the name of his successor. Literally not a one of them actually lapses into the self-promotionalism issues that our COI rules actually concern themselves with — article subjects are not prevented from editing the article themselves to make purely factual edits that don't pose any WP:NPOV problems, the rule is just that they're not allowed to use Wikipedia as a personal PR platform or a venue for giving themselves the last word in an NPOV dispute.

Tentative Keep: This is a valuable resource for Wikipedia to have but I understand the doubts re. lack of sources, and unlike some of the other rock-related articles of this era of which this might be said, this does not deal with a territory that The Times etc. picked up on after the fact. Are there any academic texts available which could back up the claims made here? It's conceivable. RobinCarmody (talk) 18:19, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- I don't understand when someone ways this is a valuable resource. I can understand why you would say that if you knew something about the subject. But as editors, particularly in the context of deletion discussions, we're supposed to evaluate the article, not the subject. An article with no sources is worthless because there's no way to verify whether any of it is true. My approach would be the same if the article were called "George Washington". That's a valuable subject. But unsourced or poorly sourced? No. It has no value. If someone said, "But it's George Washington!" that would not persuade me. Some deprodders give the impression that if a Wikipedia article is deleted, it will lead to starvation or genocide. How many articles does Wikipedia have? Over five million?

- Regretful delete - It's hard to find sources for this because the title ("Musics") is so generic. Searching using the long title I could not find any significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to back up the notability of this magazine and as such it fails WP:GNG. FOARP (talk) 08:32, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment As everyone else has already found, it's a hard title to search for. I have found several works citing articles in it - the book Rhythmus: Spuren eines Wechselspiels in Künsten und Wissenschaften [42], and papers 'MODULATEURS EN ANNEAU ET SAXOPHONE : LE DISPOSITIF D'ECRITURE MIXTE ET L'INTERPRETATION PARTICIPATIVE DANS L'ŒUVRE LE PATCH BIEN TEMPERE II' [43] and 'Indeterminacy, Free Improvisation, and the Mixed Avant-Garde:: Experimental Music in London, 1965–1975' [44]. Far Out Magazine has an article about the launch of the reprint (with some text based on this Wikipedia article??) [45], and a journal called Poetry Information had a piece about it after the first 3 issues had come out [46]. I tend to think that, if these are findable, there would be more, possibly not digitised, possibly not easily findable because of the rather generic title, but there is certainly a lot of content here that cannot currently be referenced to independent sources. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:52, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. State of the article notwithstanding, there are clearly sources to be found. The magazine's short-form title does indeed make searches, shall we say, daunting. Nevertheless, there's some discussion of the magazine in this book by David Toop and Chris Atton's introduction to this Routledge-published work on alternative media. I strongly suspect that there are quite a few more sources out there; there was likely some discussion of the title in other music periodicals, but the issues of works like Ear, Coda, and Perpetual Frontier do not appear to be available (much less searchable!) online, although the infuriating tease of snippet view suggests that Coda, at least, had something to say about it.

Comment It indeed seems WP:ADVERT. The band's website lists apparently every bit of press they've received, some of which is referenced in the article. It might take a while to vet these to find those that are indeed notable. Most look small time or routine, but there may be a few good ones, especially among the niche Blues scene coverage. A couple of things need to be pointed out, though. The claim that they've been reviewed on NPR is disingenuous; WVPE.88.1 is merely the Elkhart, Wisconsin school system's radio station. Like many school radio programming, they partner with NPR content (as well as other public broadcast services), but emphatically is not the same as featured on NPR as a qualifying reliable source. Also, the reference from the AV Club is not that notable entity, but rather, a section of a local newspaper with the same name. Finally, to be on a first round ballot is for a Grammy is not a notable achievement. It is, in fact, nothing more than having one's entry accepted. ShelbyMarion (talk) 17:12, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Delete I commented on this 2 weeks ago without voting, pending time to review all sources. There is some niche blues publication/website attention, but cumulatively they do not add up to enough significance to break out beyond run-of-the-mill type coverage. As pointed out above, other sources (most, in fact) are local but they, too, are fairly run-of-the-mill. Other facts in the article contain a fair amount of puffery for minor achievements.

Lacks notability as an individual topic and would be sufficiently covered by adding in the material into the disambig page Organizing.

- Keep - Hi, Just some background: this page was created during a Wikithon to improve Wikipedia coverage of Singapore Literature. See the liveblog pages here, and here. We understand the paucity of sources means it's a borderline case for deletion, but the Singapore literature scene is small (relative to other South-east Asian cities such as Manila, and definitely relative to other cultural capitals such as New York or Paris); I'd make the case that the "in-depth coverage" standards might bias Wikipedia coverage towards writers who live and work in communities with more developed literary infrastructure. We hope that the deletion notice be removed, and this article be flagged for WP:AFI instead. Cheers JayDubYewHo (talk) 05:25, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

there does not seem to be any formal position of leadership, except the rabbinical council of one australian state. the article is furthermore advocacy,with puffery and assumptions: a consistent stand; :forceful in his view... such language is always suspect--it is indicative of either unimaginative PR agent, or unwitting copying of their style. It contains local trivial about the football club he supports, It also brings in his very notable cousins and uncles, but I know that within at least some portions of the Jewish community, family does count for notability.

- He held the position of the Australian rabbinic association. He has been a player in the Royal Commission about abuse, having taken the stand to question the rabbi's roles in the scandal. He has taken a stand against homophobia in the Orthodox community. This is not a puff piece (and I have no direct connection to the subject), it is an article about one of the most high profile rabbis in Australia Playlet (talk) 01:43, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I don't see how being "elected to be the president of the new Rabbinical Council of Australia and New Zealand" is not a formal position of leadership. I also do not see puffery - it is a clear reflection of what this person said, and how he said it, as reported in media coverage of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, and was in clear contrast to many other rabbis who gave evidence. I note that WP:RELPEOPLE says "In particular, an individual will often meet notability guidelines if they #2 "Played an important role in a significant religious event which itself received considerable coverage in sources." The Royal Commission was not a religious event, but it was an investigation into child abuse in religious organisations, in which the subject of this article played an important role - and a quite different role from some other rabbis.

He did not give evidence at the royal commission into child sexual abuse - he was excused. He may have made comments to the media, but he was not a major player. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see where holding a formal position of leadership makes a person notable. A quick google search does not reveal any coverage outside that already cited in the article. He may be well known within the Jewish community, but he is not well known outside the Jewish community. I don't see the article as being a puff piece. 8==8 Boneso (gnaw) 20:47, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

- Comment Thank you for your correction RebeccaGreen and for pointing me to WP:RELPEOPLE. I withdraw my mention about evidence at the royal commission. I maintain that there is no significant coverage of Glasman in in independent reliable sources; in the sources mentioned he is called on for comment only, or the evidence he gave at the royal commission is covered. In relation to WP:RELPEOPLE, the royal commission was not a religious event and it was also not exclusively an enquiry into religious institutions, among other institutions, Surf lifesaving Australia, the Australian Defence Force and Scouts were in the crosshairs; the major media coverage related to the Catholic and Anglican churches. I think people like Glasman deserve a page, but sadly I don't see that meets the notability criteria. 8==8 Boneso (gnaw) 21:50, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

- Weak delete per nominator. I am also disturbed by the PR-type language here and the trivial details. The main argument for notability boils down to his outspokenness on various issues, but the article has a SYNTH feel to it, like the page creator was digging up every mention in a newspaper to build an article. Aside from his views, he doesn't stand out as notable. Yoninah (talk) 23:14, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I think. I was going to say "delete" until I read the claim "inaugural president of the new Rabbinical Council of Australia and New Zealand". If that organisation is really the peak body of Rabbis in two countries then 1) it is worthy of an article and 2) so are its presidents (but not most other members).

- Delete Aside from the fact that community consensus is clear that LDS leaders have to pass WP:GNG, and that various church publications/PR references do not count toward notability (e.g. Church Newsroom, lds.org, Liahona, see WP:IIS) it's remarkable that this subject doesn't even get much coverage in church sources. One of the church sources cited in the article does not even mention the subject at all. Coverage in secondary sources is not significant, being routine announcements, quotes, and reprints of official church PR blurbs and press releases (this is obvious when the newspaper database also contains the church press releases for comparison). It's not significant coverage of this subject in multiple, reliable, independent sources. Subject does not pass WP:GNG. The subject's corporate bio, which is what this article is, can be found at the LDS website without Wikipedia's help. Bakazaka (talk) 22:18, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Was originally a redirect to Paris, converted into a well-meaning but unsourced DAB.

- Delete - considering the current state and any scope for improvement, I don't see any benefit to keep seeing as it gives zero information about what a "city of cities" may actually mean, nor links to anything substansive. At best, it may become an article offering a vague yet questionable defintion of what some may think it means; even if it adapts to that, we already have wiktionary. A redirect anywhere would be reliant upon a verifiable source. I think just deleting is best. Bungle (talk • contribs) 22:44, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Non-notable subject that continues to fail WP:BASIC. Coverage in independent, reliable sources is limited to faint passing mentions. Furthermore, the article is entirely reliant upon primary sources, which do not qualify notability. North America1000 04:35, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

- Keep As pointed out in the previous discussion we have sources such as the Encyclopedia of Latter-day Saint History, edited by notable academics. To exclude it based on who the publishing company it was published by was is to create a very broad and troubling precedent for exclusion of sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:38, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Does that source provide significant coverage or fleeting passing mentions? One source being existent does not create automatic notability; there needs to be significant coverage.

- Delete the two Spanish language books that FOARP found are barely more than passing mentions. A google of News and Books isn't turning up much else. So, we just have the Encyclopedia of Latter-day Saint History—one source, possibly not significant and/or independent. If there isn't significant coverage beyond LDS-published sources, that's a good sign that he's not notable. buidhe (formerly Catrìona) 13:09, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per my argument last time, and I'm not seeing any new arguments to sway me otherwise. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 18:23, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- The bottom line is that there is no presumed notability for religious subjects on English Wikipedia, but your !vote in the last AfD was largely based upon this premise. North America1000 20:44, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- There's no presumed notability for any subject, with the possible exception of species with an accepted taxonomy. The point has to do with which subjects have encyclopedic value. The problem with religious subjects is that Southern Baptists don't write about Hare Krishnas, the Hindus don't write about Assyrian Orthodox, Presbyterians don't write about Jehovah's Witnesses, and general secular media/academia doesn't cover any of it (unless there's some juicy scandal involved.) That does not make the subjects un-encyclopedic, in this case it is a subject which demonstrably influenced the history of the faith millions and millions of people adhere to. Therefore sometimes we need to use the best sources available, which are going to be published by the LDS/Presbyterians/Jehovah's Witnesses/Hare Krishnas. There's no indication in this particular instance it was influenced by the subject, but of course healthy skepticism needs to be applied here regarding NPOV because the subject and publisher belong to the same religious sect. So if the source says "This person was a saint with no faults, and he cured cancer in many" then it has no place here, but biographical facts, and details regarding their influence within the faith can and should be used. It is my opinion and !vote therefore that the encyclopedia would be poorer without this topic. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 21:39, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- Can you provide just two independent, reliable sources that provide significant coverage about the subject? This is the bare minimum of what is required to demonstrate notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines. These necessary sources appear to be nonexistent. North America1000 21:43, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- Aside from the fact I don't see an issue with the sources presented in the article per above, there's [50], [51]. I realize there is disagreement here regarding what constitutes "independent", but my reading of our current policy regarding independent sources would indicate to me that these sources are potentially (likely) biased, but are independent as there's no evidence Abrea has any editorial oversight or influence on these publications. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 22:12, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
Relisting comment: Per DRV
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Galobtter (pingó mió) 08:26, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
- OK, I'm really confused. This is clearly a debate without a consensus. All the sources have been found and there's good faith disagreement about their value and applicability. It was rightly and accurately closed as no consensus after 14 days of discussion, and then that close was taken to DRV and summarily overturned as a BADNAC, even though that's exactly the outcome envisaged in WP:RELIST. If it had been allowed to stay at DRV, then I would have expected a bit of a waggy finger at the closer for their generic closing statement and failure to engage on their talk page, but a resounding endorse for their decision. Why are we here?—S Marshall T/C 00:08, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- Not wanting to go off-topic making this a DRV2, so this will be short. I feel that 1) a total of five users participating is rather minimal, along with 2) the "tied" nature of !votes herein, warranted a second relist, among other reasons, such as the closer ignoring my two requests for discussion regarding the matter. North America1000 01:04, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- I thought this deserved a re-list because a major part of the discussion took place immediately before "closing time", and I thought it would be better to give other editors an opportunity to react to that discussion, and that while consensus may not develop it certainly has a chance to. I agree with NA1000 and the DelRev reviewer that WP:BADNAC applies by criteria #2 and 3. #2 in that the positions currently are far apart, and #3 in that his AfD record shows a high number of "kept" nominations. This is not meant to belittle the original closer, or that they did anything "wrong". I merely am of the opinion, and I think NA1000 agrees, that relisting in this instance is the better option. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:38, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- I've noticed that Wikipedians are a secular bunch and most are uninterested in religious topics, but I suppose there could plausibly be a sudden rush of new participants. I hope that's the outcome. If it isn't, I feel that it would be very inappropriate to relist again.—S Marshall T/C 18:31, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- I agree, a third relist would be inappropriate. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 18:43, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Actually two comments about 78.26's point above. First, academics and journalists write about faiths other than their own all the time, and if anything smaller denominations and sects (even, say, the Gülen movement or Heaven's Gate) are overrepresented in academic and popular literature. Second, the official LDS sources may be reliable for some information on the subject, and they are reliable indicators of the church's position on something. But they are not independent of the church, as the church has a vested interest in building up the name and reputation of people whom it is presenting as messengers of doctrine and teaching handed down from the apostles. The subject doesn't have to walk over and influence the PR writer in her cubicle. If both are being directed by the same organization, then the PR writer's coverage of the subject is not independent.

- Keep--> NFILM has technically boiled down to allotting an article for every film that has got 2 or more reviews across reliable source(s). I do not personally agree with this interpretation and IMHO, we are not competing with IMDB. But that's a story for another day and for now, I will apply the same standards to this film. Running an online-search for sources, we cannot lay our hands on anything. But the broader question is whether is it realistic to expect online reviews of a 92' film or to assume that all Tamil dailies of 92 have been digitized or rational to search for coverage in net-era-publications ( how many films produced this year (with a plethora of hype) will be any mentioned across RS(s) 20 years later?). The film starred two legendary actors and the music was directed by a highly acclaimed artist. In light of that, it's plainly crazy to assume that such a film vanished without making any buzz; flop or not. Systemic Bias and all that.∯WBGconverse 17:02, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

- Delete Community consensus is that LDS leaders have to pass WP:GNG (see discussions in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018). Church sources (Ensign, lds.org, etc) are not independent (see WP:IIS) and therefore not usable for establishing notability. Only additional source suggested in previous AfD was...another official LDS source, with a double conflict of interest as a student newspaper covering an alumna. Search does not find significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources of this subject, just routine coverage of church announcements/PR. Coverage outside the church of "Patricia Pinegar" seems to be of a different person with the same name in a different US state. Just being able to construct sentences from passing mentions and PR quotes does not consecrate the source material as significant coverage, so subject does not pass WP:GNG.

- As I wrote on the article talk page, I realize we are short on independent documentation of notability here, but that's not uncommon for people who wrote almost entirely in Yiddish, especially if virtually all writing about them was in Yiddish. Few, if any, Yiddish-language newspapers can be found online; there are not all that many books about Yiddish-language performing in any language other than Yiddish, and those in Yiddish are not well catalogued.
Jacob Adler, the one citation I have here, was by any standard among the half-dozen most important actors in the history of Yiddish theater. Many would account him the most important. I'm pretty comfortable saying that if he considered Marks worth singling out for mention in his memoir as someone who had a brief but notable career in the 1890s, he knew whereof he spoke. - Jmabel | Talk 17:11, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete The GNG is very clear we need multiple sources, one source is never enough. One can not argue that sources might exist, one needs to demonstrate what these sources are.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:32, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- I do not consider that to be the case in reality. One really reliable source in a place with worldwide coverage is sufficient. We have , for example, kept thousands of bio articles on account of their being covered as a NYT editorial obit. The GNG is a summary, and needs to be interpreted according to reason.
- Keep until a search for proper sources can be made by someone competent to do so. There were in that period 4 (or perhaps 5 )Yiddish language daily newspapers in NYC, all of which covered the Yiddish theater extensively.

- Keep There is actually a fair amount in the digitised papers in Newspapers.com. The Philadelphia Inquirer called him a "well known and clever comedian" when the United Hebrew Opera Co appeared there in 1893 [53]; a review in the Philadelphia Times said he deserved the applause he received [54], and a review in the The Philadelphia Inquirer said there was "a vein of clever comedy throughout the piece, the chief promoter of which was Rudolph Marks" [55]. In the same year a paper called Der Waechter ran a contest for the most popular young actor (reported in The World, New York) [56], which was narrowed down to Marks and another, but Marks went to court saying his name and photo could not be used (this report describes him as an actor at the Thalia Theater and law student at the University of the City of New York). By 1900, Marks was acting as counsel for theater managers against the newly formed Hebrew Actors' Union [57], [58]. In 1901, there were efforts to start a Yiddish theater in Chicago, and there was a performance of a play called The Bowery Tramp by "a New York lawyer, Rudolph Marks, who was formerly a Yiddish actor" [59] In 1904, there are small mentions of him as a Chicago lawyer "who has made a specialty of theatrical law" [60], and in 1907 as a lawyer of 320 Broadway (again engaged by theater managers) [61]. A 1903 report of a court case describes him as "better known as a writer of Yiddish plays and as an actor of Shakepearean parts in the Bowery theaters than as a lawyer" [62]. His plays were performed in Connecticut in 1911 ("the great comedy success Chaim in America") [63] and Kentucky in 1912 (The Shop Girl) [64]. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle had an obituary when he died in 1930 aged 63 [65] - apparently his full name was Rudolph Marks Rodkinson; he was born in Odessa, went to England aged 15 and appeared on the stage there, then arrived in New York aged 19. He worked as a lawyer for 32 years, and had a son and two daughters. Plenty of coverage even without access to sources in Yiddish. RebeccaGreen (talk) 05:10, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

The article claims that Advocis is a self regulatory agency for insurance agents, yet this is clearly false as Advocis is a lobbying organization split from IIROC's predecessor as it would be a conflict of interest for a lobbying organization to also be a regulatory organization.

- Comment : The Globe and Mail article is about the use of artificial intelligence for financial planning as discussed in a symposium held by Advocis, but this CBC report and this one place the association front and center at the need for regulating the industry. In any case, this is an association grouping some twelve thousand professionals in the finance and investment sector, a significant lobbying entity and it's not so easy to ignore it. -The Gnome (talk) 20:59, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Weak delete - I found some other minor coverage mentioning the group's advocacy efforts [[66]][[67]] (the latter is more a rehash of a press release), but no in-depth profile that would put them into my weak keep territory.

This is an article about a movie character. It's been deleted twice, and recreated with a thin claim to notability, essentially that this character was featured in UGO Networks "Best Second-in-commands." The other references are about Ben Foster's portrayal of the character, not the character per se. Most of this article is trivia (e.g., the gear the character uses, and clothing), and as such belongs in a fandom wiki, not Wikipedia. There's nothing here to support WP:GNG.

I’m not sure what the basic issue is here. Your proposal is dominated by personal-attack language, which somewhat obscures the real question. Are you simply saying “Wikipedia shouldn’t have a separate article on this topic”, or that “this content should be merged into some other primary article with broader coverage”?
As to the facts, Google scholar lists 2,740 articles with some mention of the two-word phrase “virtual synchrony” (a few dozen of which are by me or my students). The great majority were written by authors unrelated to me or my research group, and some use the term in their title or abstract.
The model played (and still plays) a legitimate role, yielded a CORBA standard. It was the first (and is still the primary) self-management model for fault tolerance services that employ a dynamically adaptive group structure, where processes join and leave while updates are underway. Recent textbooks continue to discuss it.
Among contemporary, widely used systems, ZooKeeper employs a form of virtual synchrony. That tool is the majority solution for cloud management and it plays a key role in Apache HDFS, Hadoop, Kafka, and other major components of the Apache cloud infrastructure. The French air traffic control system bases its correctness proof on virtual synchrony, and has been in continuous use since 1995. It is “why you are safe” when you use a self-driving car that depends on ZooKeeper, or fly into French-managed airspace. The NYSE depended upon virtual synchrony for a ten year period from 1995 to 2005, enabling it to self heal when disrupted by network component failures.
What I think could be discussed would be a merge of this material into the article on reliable multicast. It would make sense to explore such a merge, and doing so wouldn’t leave a hole in the Wikipedia “knowledge base”, whereas simply deleting the page would create a gap. The question is: who would carry this task out? Clearly, not me.
I would easily be able to suggest domain experts, but I don’t know if any are Wikipedia editors.
Ken Birman (talk) 19:39, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Ken Birman, sorry it's taken me so long to respond, I've had a lot on my plate. While I agree that my nomination may have been worded somewhat tersely (for which I apologise, I tend to truncate what I say to save time), I adamantly disagree that I violated the policy to which you refer (no personal attacks). If I'd have said "your research is all lies" or "you're a liar", that would be a personal attack. My nomination is in no way intended to cast a shadow on your academic record (I'm some random pleb on the Internet and you're a Professor at Cornell, I don't think anyone's disputing that you know more about the topic you're writing about than I do), I am merely pointing out that the vast majority of the sources cited are written by you. One of the five pillars of Wikipedia is that we don't publish original research. The article was created by a user whose username is also the attribution given to the sources which cover the term the most. That is the policy upon which I was basing my argument. Many thanks, SITH (talk) 20:13, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- Edit: and I would be more than happy to help facilitate a merge to the article you've highlighted. SITH (talk) 20:15, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
Relisting comment: I might as well ping @Ken Birman: to keep the discussion rolling.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, J947 (c), at 01:47, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- SITH apology accepted. I’m fine with you deleting the page and tackling this merge. Let me know when you’ve made your edit and I’ll take a look. I don’t get notifications instantly on Wikipedia... email me (ken@cs.cornell.edu) if a question arises.
- You should probably cite the Derecho paper (accepted by ACM Transactions on Computing Systems, should appear soon) at the same time. Idit Keidar has a theoretical analysis of solutions to the reliable multicast problem (aka State machine replication, Paxos) and gives theoretical lower bounds (a way to identify the best possible protocols is to characterize the minimum amount of information or messages tha must be exchanged).
- Derecho, which uses virtual synchrony and runs on RDMA (when the hardware isn’t available it just switches to TCP), is the first solution to achieve this lower bound and in that sense, is the ultimate protocol in this space. No future protocol could outperform it other than through clever use of the hardware or some other engineering innovation: it simply isn’t possible to reduce the message costs. As such there are several pages that probably should cite this paper. I was planning to just add it to the long lists of cited works on those once the TOCS citation is in a final state (lacks page numbers and an exact date right this second). Ken Birman (talk) 09:06, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Note to closer: I'm fine with implementing the merge and redirect per Ken Birman's directions above (although I can't promise I'll do it immediately), so I move to close as merge. SITH (talk) 17:01, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

The result was delete and redirect to Kip McKean#International Christian Church. I am ignoring the SPAs !votes. Nevertheless, there seems to be consensus that this should be deleted. I am leaving a redirect as this might be a possible search term. Randykitty (talk) 17:28, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

I nominate the page for deletion, and give the following reason: No academic supporting sources to establish page need. Historically been a battle ground among former and current members using exclusively primary sources.

- Keep This is a notable group with a founder who has his own page. I am sure reliable sources will soon turn up as they did with McKeans previous church. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 11:30, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
- @JB , That's just the thing: of the 21 citations the founder has, only 4 or 5 are legitimate non-self-sourced. His former church is the same story, only 6-7 legitimate citations out of the nearly 100-self-sourced. If the ICC after 12 years was worthy of an academic page, it would have more than 1 valid citation. Until that day, deletion is the only reasonable option. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coachbricewilliams28 (talk • contribs) 15:49, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete This seems fairly straightforward. This topic lacks meaningful credible insight. Ronald C Harding 00:01, 3 January 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronaldcharding (talk • contribs)
- You guys may want to go and read WP:MEAT before continuing, as two of these editors have no other contributions outside of this topic and the other two are members of the church, as per the talk pages of the founder and his church being discussed. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 10:45, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Jb, no one is sock puppet in here, and anyone who knows you, knows the reason why you want this page to remain. Please don't sit there and pretend like it is academic. This page has existed for half the time the church has, and there is only one academic source. Affiliation can be an issue, but not in all cases ( hence why I've never cared about your Icoc editing history.) Either someone needs to come up with some real citations, or the page has to go. Since there are no existing academic sources on this church, this isn't about sentiment, it's about the standards at Wiki. This page doesn't cut it. I just has no merit. Coachbricewilliams28 (talk) 16:43, 4 January 2019 (UTC)×
- Comment I've been involved disputes on this page before; note that this is not the somewhat-related group International Churches of Christ. The real argument for deletion seems to be that certain people affiliated with the church don't like this article. Regarding the 5 DEL criteria: DEL1 (meets CSD) doesn't seem to apply at all, and DEL14 (unsuitable for an encyclopedia) clearly isn't met as articles describing churches are appropriate content for an encyclopedia. DEL6 and DEL7 (lack of reliable sources) and DEL8 (notability) may apply; the existing sourcing suggests that a redirect to Kip McKean may be appropriate. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:16, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- To clarify, it's not that some don't "like" the article. It's that when the article was at it's HIGHEST QUALITY IN MAY, it was modeled after the ICOC page yet somehow, despite the presumed accuracy of the sources, wikiGnomes still rejected the page with no objection to the Icoc page's 80+ selfsourced links. Same for the Kip McKean page; it is 95% self sourced. If a pile of academic sources existed or comes about, this page could be revived. Coachbricewilliams28 (talk) 20:04, 7 January 2019 (UTC)––
Relisting comment: Relisting because of suspicions of meatpuppetry involved in this AfD.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CoolSkittle (talk) 00:46, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- The relisting is appreciated however the WP:Meat was already cleared as "unrelated" by Bbb23. The decision seems beyond obvious. I'm not certain why the delay. Coachbricewilliams28 (talk) 22:21, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Maybe I missed something, but I see no evidence that there is no concern over meatpuppetry JamieBrown2011 (talk) 06:44, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

- Delete My BEFORE isn't turning up any independent significant coverage. buidhe (formerly Catrìona) 13:15, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. The fact that the instigator of that group "has his own page" is not an argument for keeping the article; in fact, it's completely irrelevant. If there were sources testifying to the subject's independent notability we'd have found them by now. -The Gnome (talk) 11:05, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete with a Redirect to Kip McKean#International Christian Church, not enough useable sources for a standalone but may be a wikireader searchterm. Coolabahapple (talk) 13:54, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. I have no opinion on the keep/delete spectrum, but I'm very confused by the cast of characters here. There's some obvious socking going on (for which I've opened an SPI), but beyond that, I noticed that User:Ronaldcharding stated in the comment to this edit that he was Mr. McKean's personal assistant. The WP:UPE aspect aside, I'm confused why somebody who is associated with the church is arguing for it to be deleted. That's backwards of how these spamfests usually work. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:20, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

A directory-like listing for an unremarkable website / service. Does not meet WP:NCORP / WP:NWEB; significant RS coverage not found.

- Delete I support the deletion. Tried to find authoritative resources, but couldn't find any. There were some claims on notability (such as an Alexa rank) that were low quality, but I couldn't verify them with current information (likely outdated). Promotional information keeps getting added back.
