What languages did you search in? postdlf (talk) 14:49, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Postdlf: English. I can't see any other possibilites. SmartSE (talk) 17:25, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's about an award given in India. Why would only English-language sources be possible for such a topic? postdlf (talk) 19:59, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - I meant that all of the links in the article are in English despite being Indian and none of them seem to give Hindu/Urdu spellings that we can search for. SmartSE (talk) 20:40, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Don Bassingthwaite

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

WP:BLP of a writer, not properly referenced as notable per WP:AUTHOR. This doesn't make any strong notability claims such as winning notable literary awards, but simply states that he and his work exist, so his notability can be judged solely by whether or not he clears WP:GNG on the sourcing — but the only references here are his own self-published primary sources about himself and a Q&A interview on a non-notable blog, and I can't find anything better in any database I have the ability to search. As always, the notability test for writers is not just that his work metaverifies its own existence in WorldCat or an online bookstore: the notability test requires media outlets to pay independent attention to his work, such as publishing book reviews and/or doing journalism about him.

Delete PROMO created in 2007 by SPA User:DragonReader. Bassingthwaite has written a great many books to accompany a complicates series of interlinked games. Note that the bluelinked subheads are to articles about the sundry games (with lots of PRIMARY and dubious sources,) but that the individual books are unsourced. If you click the links to the handful of individually linked books, you find no sources or PRIMARY sources. Bassingthwaite fails WP:AUTHOR and shold be deleted along with his bluelinked books.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:27, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gregory Mahler

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

American political scientist. This WP:BLP is essentially unsourced, the only external link is dead. The article was created by a single-purpose account and may be an autobiography ("His favorite colors are maroon and off white"). A Google search provides no indication of notability per WP:GNG or WP:PROF. Sandstein 15:46, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I now notice that we had a precious AfD in 2008, where the person was considered notable. But after 10 years of no improvement I think it's WP:TNT time; we can't allow unsourced BLP content to hang around forever. Sandstein 15:55, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep several source and textbooks in 2nd, 3rd, and 5th print editions. His books show up as widely cited in gScholar and in book searches. I used various keywords: Israel, names of co-authors, Palestine, Canada. He does use both Greg and Gregory. Sources exist to support notability, yet another page in need of an editor. E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:20, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. With (now in the article) at least 14 published reviews of 8 books, he easily passes WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:02, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deadlinks to Thai language websites archive examinations even with translate do not have sufficient GNG passage. Also reads like an advert. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 15:29, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's kid's book so it's harder to quantify its GNG (likely coverage would be in mom's or kid's media, not mainstream ones). Here are some news that I found. [1] [2] --Lerdsuwa (talk) 16:23, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, largely because most of the nominating statement doesn't make much sense to me. Deletion is not cleanup (although I lean toward deletionism); dead links and non-English sources can still meet WP:V, and a promotional tone can be rewritten to meet WP:NPOV. The subject may meet WP:NCOMIC for a series. Miniapolis 17:08, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I felt like I pretty clearly said that the sources I looked at using translate and archive.org did not pass GNG. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 18:19, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and I linked to the subject-specific guideline; sometimes WP:GNG is too broad. I was concerned about your other caveats (dead links and POV). Miniapolis 23:59, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, I wrote that notability guideline and still don't think that it qualifies. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 00:41, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize that. Since you're a better judge of comic notability than I am, I'm changing my vote to delete; sorry for the deprod. Miniapolis 17:57, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. I was only able to identify sources similar to Lerdsuwa's, and IMO they don't satisfy the GNG. The subject would warrant a paragraph or a section in an article about the publisher, but I don't think it has real-world notability to stand alone as an article. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:06, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Other editors have added a whole bunch of tags denoting this article's weaknesses. In an attempt to fix such things I could find no significant and reliable coverage for the musician to confer notability. Despite his talent, the only sources found are self-promotional sites about the projects in which appeared. Also, it appears that he created most of the article himself, probably as an attempted promotion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:17, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment doomsdayer520 I found these in my search Blic [3], Radio Television of Vojvodina [4], Večernje novosti [5], Danas (newspaper) [6], and all seem more than passing mention. He was also a subject of a programme on public broadcasting channel Radio Television of Serbia [7]. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 16:16, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I also found some coverage of his on Der Landbote [8], few sentences in Aargauer Zeitung [9], this bio in Kammerphilharmonie [10] and this (looks possibly reliable to use on) [11]. Leaning to keep that he passes both WP:GNG and he seems to pass WP:NMUSICIAN Criteria 12 based on the Oko Magazin broadcast segment. While there is not a single English source that can be used, it doesn't matter as WP:GNG says "in any language". Jovanmilic97 (talk) 17:02, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

From Nominator - I checked some Serbian and German sources via Google Translate and assumed they were additional promo attempts, but perhaps something was lost in translation. If there are any more "Keep" votes I will withdraw the nomination. And while I know that the AfD process is not meant for cleaning up an article, this one needs significant help under any standard. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 17:58, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tell me about it. This article is a pure mess on all counts (not surprising since this seems like a horrible case of a WP:AUTOBIO that is even openly done). I would not be opposed to deleting and WP:TNT-ing the article from scratch, but I have rarely seen that happening even for the articles in worse situations than this because like you said WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP.

Comment. If the statement in the lede is true: "Around late 1990, it was the largest private sector airline in Turkey", then surely it would make it a Keep? Perhaps we would need to scan Turkish sources to get GNG? Britishfinance (talk) 14:58, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and have now sought guidance about this. Zazpot (talk) 12:55, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy per Zazpot. Could be notable, I can't analyse non-Roman-alphabet sources at the moment due to technical issues, so it'd be a shame to lose something that's notable but could be improved, especially when we've got an editor who's volunteering to incubate it. SITH (talk) 21:45, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy the English-language references in the article now are not sufficient to meet the GNG and keep the article in mainspace, but I would be surprised if there wasn't any significant coverage in Turkish media. YSSYguy (talk) 06:24, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy. Sources exist. These sources are verifiable per WP:NONENG. Therefore, this article is Notable. I also want to tally the results so far for the Airline Nominations by Tyw7; AB Aerotransport - keep, Greenair - ongoing (likely Userfy), Venus Airlines - delete, Quikjet Airlines - no consensus, and Finnaviation - merge. There is a strong possibility every single one will have closed with a different outcome. I just find that interesting. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 15:03, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Multiple votes for "userfy" because the topic is notable, should just be understood as "Keep". People, don't be wimpy!!!! Seems like a notable topic. As others state, sure, tag it for development, but there is a pretty wide consensus that the topic is notable, it seems. So just KEEP it. --Doncram (talk) 03:22, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also fails WP:AUTHOR, one of his works was of particular interest to a non-notable studio, and a movie was planned but never took off.

~~Userfy~~ Borderline notability for author of thriller/crime novels. His novels have been reviewed - I added reviews to page. I have not found profiles. Article is new, poorly written, and pretty obvious COI. He has just signed a 3-book deal and could become more clearly notable soon. He is close to passing WP:AUTHOR. I recommend that we userfy and urge the author of this page to take a closer look at how articles are written and how notability established for writers by reading and making improvements on other pages about books, writers, Capetown, or whatever topics interest. If some of the forthcoming novels get a little press attention (reviews, author profiles, interviews) this page can be brought back to mainspace. But unless someone can show more reviews and WP:SIGCOV , it looks as though it is WP:TOOSOON.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:13, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is no material article on this subject in a major RS. Probably a COI issue here too. Britishfinance (talk) 10:05, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, it is not necessary for an WP:AUTHOR to have had a profile or article including bio details - I assume that this is what User:Britishfinance means by "material article" - Book reviews in major publications support notability for AUTHORS, and this write has had them in the Cape Argus, Cape Times (hometown) and Sydney Morning Herald (not hometown.)E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:57, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notability is not temporary; it doesn't matter whether it no longer exists. There are sources, including Encyclopedia of Women and Baseball [12], Chasing Baseball: Our Obsession with Its History, Numbers, People and Places [13], A Game of Their Own: Voices of Contemporary Women in Baseball [14], and some newspaper articles, including the Boston Globe, especially [15]. I have not yet checked academic and other journals. If it is not kept, it should be merged to an article about women's baseball. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:37, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources are all behind pay walls so i can't verify if they mention this league in detail or it's just listed in some chart of amateur women's leagues. Spanneraol (talk) 17:22, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Google Books search results are not behind paywalls! Per WP:PAYWALL, subscription sources can be used to establish notability. RebeccaGreen (talk) 21:45, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is/was a women's baseball movement; it stemmed from the wartime women's league; its goal was to get more women and girls playing baseball (not softball); and some of the NAWBL people viewed their league as an important piece of that movement. During the NAWBL, more women in the area played baseball; afterwards, less, unless they found somewhere else to do it. Nine years later, I don't see evidence that the NAWBL led to anything, except in individual players' lives. I have run into two NAWBL players in the last few years when they came to a summer league to scout on behalf of Major League Baseball. Citations at this point ought not just prove that the NAWBL existed, but show how it was an evolution and that the evolution continued, as more than such personal anecdotes. Absent that, I think that notability of a private club can expire. Rebecca, are you voting on the page, or on the movement? Spike-from-NH (talk) 03:52, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. 3 articles about NAWLP in the Boston Globe and more in smaller newspapers should be enough to establish notability. Also, its inclusion in 3 books cited by RebeccaGreen above.

While the subject passes NFOOTY by the dint of single appearance in the first team of a 3.Liga team (the rest of the season he was in the reserves) - NFOOTY merely creates a presumption of notability that GNG is met. In this particular case, after a through review of available sourcing I am quite convinced that the footballer does not come close to having SIGCOV. Please note that there is a Dr. hab Florian Bittner (das ist sein linkedin) who would seem to pass NACADEMIC(1) - however is clearly (age) a different individual.

fupa.net merely has a list of appearances in non-professional teams. As for www.merkur.de - I found this in my BEFORE, and alluded to this in my nomination - "interviews and releases by the club do not count" - this is an interview with the subject (and quite possibly PR flap by the club) on his joining the 3.Liga team - and thus is not an independent source. Unless you actually produce multiple in-depth reliable sources here (which is quite unlikely seeing this player spent a single season with the 3.Liga team (and that - mainly in the reserves, making a single appearance) - then no - we can not assume GNG.

Delete - article about semi-pro footballer who made one 90-minute appearance in the fully-pro German 3.Liga several years ago. Although the interview published by Rheinischer Merkur (which appears to have been conducted by a football blogger) appears to be significant coverage, nothing else suggests this article would ever pass the GNG. Kicker has a profile page but zero articles even mentioning Bittner. Based on prior consensus (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phakamani Mngadi), a footballer who has a nominal amount of play in a fully-pro league such as this doesn't pass WP:NFOOTBALL if the article comprehensively fails the GNG.

"There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected."

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The claims of notability through NFOOTY are tenuous at best. Yes, he passes the SNG, but only just and is now playing at a less notable level. However, there is also the suggestion, through the provision of a single significant interview that there may be wider GNG in this instance. Given that these sources will almost certainly not be in english language, there seems no harm in extending the discussion to allow for additional searching to establish a firmer consensus.

Move to Dial Media. There does seem to be significant coverage of this company under its earlier incarnation (Dial Media) which goes beyond what's covered in the Ginsu article. The Barry Belcher obituary reference (from ABC News/WaPo/LA Times) is solid in terms of establishing the company's significance to the history of infomercials, and in talking about products/endeavours other than Ginsu. Another interesting source (not currently cited) is this 1983 NYT piece reporting on Dial Media's involvement with the Democratic Presidential campaign. "Primedia" may technically be a new name for the same company, but it seems to be engaged in a substantially different business activity and its activities since the switch to media buying and rename have not attracted any coverage. The article should be rewritten to reflect a focus on the Dial Media era. Colin M (talk) 19:22, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

C. R. Kesavan

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

He is a spokesperson for the party, not an elected politician. Also many references talk about the fact that he is the great-grandson of C. Rajagopalachari, a legendary figure during the Indian independence movement and a little while after. No source mentions how he passes WP:ANYBIO by himself. So I believe this person is not notable enough. Daiyusha (talk) 09:20, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - He presided as the Vice-President of the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development, which is a ministerial position. He also held the post of board member of the Prasar Bharati(India's largest Public broadcasting agency). He is a very prominent TV figure, who gets featured in most national TV debates, as he represents the views of the the Indian National Congress. A lot of national channel debates and discussions show up when his name is video searched. These, I believe, allow the article to satisfy the conditions of WP:NPOL, he has held national office and has had significant press coverage. It is true that he is referred to as the great grandson of C. Rajagopalachari in most news sources. However, I believe this must not be held as grounds for claiming the article as not notable enough. Crayonmush (talk) 12:37, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is the Vice president of the RGNIYD a ministerial position, I doubt that, based on what I know ministers in India are at the least heads of a department(like transportation, education etc) of a state . Being a board member of a company is not enough to be notable. Being a prominent TV figure, now that could be a sign of notability. TO be considered for WP:NPOL he should be a politician or atleast participated in an election. Daiyusha (talk) 13:01, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected, the Vice President/Vice Chairman (used interchangeably ) of the RGNIYD is not a ministerial position, it is held by someone who is "an eminent person in the field of Youth Development to be nominated by the Visitor", as per the Act(source). Doesn't being a spokesperson of a party mean he is a politician, as a Politician is defined as a person active in party politics, or a person holding or seeking office in government. Thank you for the quick response. Crayonmush (talk) 13:47, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature", well that implies elected people are considered politicians as per WP:NPOL. Of course the meaning is a bit vague, but for wiki purposes only elected people are considered so. Daiyusha (talk) 17:04, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you about this particular article, but the claim that "for wiki purposes only elected people are considered so" is not true. No member of the federal executive branch in the US is elected, apart from the president and vice-president, but senior members clearly pass WP:POLITICIAN by virtue of their offices.

Strong Keep. Beyond being quite present in the Odyssey (does not confer notability - yet I would question the assertion of being minor) [22], Argos has been the protagonist of a number of full length books - e.g. - Argos: The Story of Odysseus as Told by His Loyal Dog, Argos as well as being discussed at length in a scholarly context - e.g.

Rose, Gilbert P. "Odysseus' Barking Heart." Transactions of the American Philological Association (1974-) 109 (1979): 215-230.
Köhnken, Adolf. "Perspektivisches Erzählen im homerischen Epos: Die Wiedererkennung Odysseus: Argos." Hermes (2003): 385-396.
Rohdich, Hermann. "Der Hund argos und die anfänge bürgerlichen selbstbewusstseins." Antike und Abendland 26.1 (1980): 33.
Scodel, Ruth. "Odysseus' dog and the productive household." Hermes 133.H. 4 (2005): 401-408..

I will further note that the status of Odysseus as part of the corpus of Homeric literature probably confers notability on all charachters even but mentioned (due to subsequent derivative works and analysis) - however this should be evaluated on a case by case basis. In this case, the barking friend of Ulysses is eminently notable - above and beyond WP:SIGCOV. Icewhiz (talk) 10:06, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - while there are a couple of news sources mentioning it, LUMS' team only makes up a couple of lines, and wouldn't satisfy the appropriate NSPORTS requirements either.

Delete I came to the same conclusion as Nosebagbear. I didn't find anything to support a claim this rugby team is notable or that it has the significant independent coverage to meet WP:GNG. I thought about a redirect to the school's WP article, but there isn't a section about athletics or non-academic activities and there's not enough info about this team to warrant its own section. The team exists but doesn't meet any WP notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 01:00, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record, the term "MP" is not used to mean state legislators in the United States. I'm mentioning this because you also changed the article to read "MP" instead of "member" — but state legislatures are not parliaments, so their members are not "members of parliament". Yes, they serve the same function as a parliament, but they're still a different thing. Bearcat (talk) 23:04, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I agree this appears generic at first glance, but beyond the lede is actually quite specific to German youth slang. Well okay, about 3/4 of "Characteristics" is waffle and could go. It doesn't help that like with everything ported from dewiki, it's weak on inline cites, but the sources are present. - If already covered elsewhere, I'm not seeing that? --Elmidae (talk · contribs)
Comment and objections. The problem is that the sources are about "youth language" and are written in German, they're not about "German youth language" as far as I can tell. IT IS WP:SYNTH to assume that the German-language sources are talking about German language teens simply because they are in German. I know there isn't a rule requiring English sources - but unless one is found, I will continue to believe this is a mix of "unsourced slang", and scholarly papers that aren't intended to be specifically about German but simply get the word "German" thrown in a bunch during bad translations to English. It is as if I translated Youth culture into French and called the article "American youth culture", claiming that "in English speaking countries, there are many distinct and constantly changing youth subcultures". IT IS WP:SYNTH. power~enwiki (π, ν) 16:57, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the article text: all the stuff in "Features", which is the meat of the article, is specific to German. Based on the sources: refs 2-6 are also German-specific - clear from short title for all but #3, and that is given in more detail under "Sources" as a chapter of "Die deutsche Sprache zur Jahrtausendwende". The only ref likely to be generic is #1. Really, this looks topical enough. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 18:33, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

i don't care so much, if it is deleted or not... the CPU cache article gives surely enough details on "shared caches"... maybe i misrepresented "Smart Cache"? and in fact it is more than just a shared cache? i didnt find any notability criteria for technical things... i mean: even if we describe "Smart Cache" properly it might be still irrelevant... --Homer Landskirty (talk) 06:23, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

From the white paper cited in the article, "Intel Core microarchitecture shares the Level 2 (L2) cache between the cores." It seems like this is just marketing nonsense for a shared L2 Cache and no real new technology, so this article can be merged with the one on CPU caches.

  - Comment: "Cloud chip" might be a plausible search term, but it's sufficiently ambiguous that redirecting it to Manycore processor is pointless. "Cloud chip" literally means "an integrated circuit designed for use by cloud computing". Thus, redirecting it to a specific type of integrated circuit (a many-core processor) is arbitrary, and doesn't make much sense. 99Electrons (talk) 23:39, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Micropipelining

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

This unreferenced article appears to be about a neologism. There are numerous instances of this term on Google Books, but they're from different contexts. The concept as it's defined in this article doesn't appear to be an established term of art. This article's definition of the term, and its description of computer technology appears inaccurate. For example, Intel's NetBurst-based processors of the early- and mid-2000s, exceeded 20 pipeline stages, and later variants ended up with around 30, if I recall correctly. It appears that several valid concepts have been vaguely alluded to and then combined in a way that may be improper synthesis. In computer science and engineering, the question of limits to pipeline length and the optimal pipeline length, in respect to performance, power, and organizational effectiveness is obvious and well-known. This article doesn't appear to discuss this issue. The article also defines a micropipelining–macropipeling dichotomy. This is most certainly unverifiable, nonexistent, and erroneous. 99Electrons (talk) 02:56, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A case could made that an article on Micropipelines is needed, but the text here doesn't meet that need. See Ivan Sutherland's Micropipelines. For background and an overview see Entering the Micropipeline. I would rate the topic as discussed at those links as slightly notable from a computer history perspective. It appears in papers during the 1990s such as A Micropipelined ARM (1993) and it is consistently used in the sense of refering to "Sutherland's Micropipelines." It doesn't appear in the literature much after 2000. But there are a few later references to this usage.[23] I'm not sure if I could find enough references to write more than a stub to replace what is here. --mikeu ^talk 02:51, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I came across Sutherland's micropipeline concept before I nominated this article, and a quick look at the sources about it didn't suggest that it matched the concept described in this article. Since you mentioned it, I read Sutherland's Comm. ACM paper, and it's clear that Sutherland's concept is about logic and circuit design, whereas the one described in this article is about computer organization/processor microarchitecture. A quick Google Scholar search suggests that Sutherland's concept is notable (as you said), with 1,775 citations. In my experience, Google Scholar is sometimes unreliable (for example, it can list many duplicates, but the ACM Guide of Computing Literature says it has 223 citations. Whether 223 citations satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines is a matter I'll leave for others to debate. If somebody is willing to replace the current article with Sutherland's micropipeline concept, I'll be happy to withdraw my nomination if that's acceptable Wikipedia practice. 99Electrons (talk) 07:02, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

weak delete I think that the idea of a micropipeline article is somewhat notable, however the current text does not meet wp guidelines. Given that the subject could be incorporated into an existing article such as Instruction pipelining I can't support a standalone page that lacks a clearly defined focus. The term is somewhat archaic. It was historically used in a very specific context but has more recently been used in a more casual and inconsistent manner as reflected in the current article. I don't see a pressing need to focus attention on this topic and it doesn't appear (few edits in 7 years) that other contributors are willing to address the shortcomings of this page. I support deletion if no one is willing to address the issues with the page. --mikeu ^talk 13:42, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The whole pro-pitbull/anti-pitbull debate is not a mainstream topic (even though passionately polarized) and the article is about one bit player. There is not sufficient coverage to maintain a NPOV, therefore the article is a not notable topic. The article was originally created as a WP:G10 criticism, and despite edits to migrate towards NPOV, it continues to veer off of NPOV towards criticism with every other edit. Is there WP:COI with editors, or is the subject simply not sufficiently notable to attract editors with more NPOVs? Nomopbs (talk) 06:38, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that's true, ctrl-f "pit bull" in Breed-specific legislation and you get plenty of hits. Articles like [24] seems to hint at mainstream-ness. Anyway, NPOV in the WP-context "means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic." So, per definition, any article that passes GNG can be NPOV (I'm not saying this one currently is), even if the usable sources are 100% critical. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:40, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Another user mentioned that the site is below in Alexa, it is indeed in position 481.694 in the world, BUT it is 127.728 in the USA. Considering how strong the breed Pitbull is in the USA compared to other countries, this would favor a keep. No one will dispute there is a bias in the site, just as there is a bias in PETA, but the notability guidelines it passes, when it comes to dog people a high amount of people know this site and the media mentions it on occasion. Also, although the site may be biased there is a ton of research that really highlights the pitfalls and dangers of a pit bull:

The result was delete. Numerically, there is a clear consensus to delete. This means, in order to arrive at a "keep" or "no consensus" outcome, the "keep" arguments would have to be significantly stronger in terms of our policies and guidelines. I can't say that this is the case here. The dispute turns on whether the categorization undertaken in this list is (a) notable and based on reliable sources, or (b) not notable and/or original research by synthesis. While legitimate arguments have been advanced here for both points of view (together with not-so-helpful political arguments), I can't, as the closer of this discussion, make an authoritative determination about who has the stronger argument. Ultimately, this is a matter of our individual and collective editorial judgment, and not a cut-and-dried application of policy. Given that the outcome is clear in terms of numbers, and ambiguous in terms of strength of argument, I have to find a consensus for deletion here. Sandstein 07:21, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - Move This should be moved to "List of crimes committed in the United States by illegal immigrants" because even if "Illegal Alien" is a law term, its offensive and shouldn't be in a neutral point of view encyclopedia. "Illegal Alien" isn't a term that makes sense to use in the context "List of crimes committed in the United States". For one, aliens are not even confirmed to be real, so using in a context which makes the term seem ordinary or eminent doesn't make the slightest sense. The term "alien" is being used to list articles where the offender is a illegal immigrant, that is both offensive and not for a neutral point of view encyclopedia.

Thanks for reminding me, then, how bigoted Bill Clinton is, along with Barack Obama.

The term is not frequently used in reliable sources, certainly not more so than the synonyms "illegal immigrants", "unauthorized immigrants" and "undocumented immigrants". Major news org style guides prohibit use of the term, such as the Associated Press[31], The Washington Post[32] and the New York Times[33]. The term does occur in law, but according to PolitiFact[34], the term only occurs in "scattered mentions" and does not refer to all illegal immigrants (in other words, the legal term "illegal alien" is different from conventional use). This is the summary of the PolitiFact piece on the term: "The term appears--yet scarcely--in federal law. Best we can tell, though, no law defines the term as referring to all individuals living in the U.S. without legal authorization. Where the term does appear, it’s undefined or part of an introductory title or limited to apply to certain individuals convicted of felonies." Furthermore, Operation Wetback was a thing, yet we wouldn't refer to illegal immigrants as "wetbacks" in Wiki voice. I do not see why Wikipedia should use a contentious value-laden term that reliable sources characterize as pejorative when there are readily available synonyms. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 11:07, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

there are readily available synonyms That is contradicted by the Politifact article, which says that these terms are not synonymous. The title and scope of this article may be POV but that's not a reason to delete and there are no similar articles. Whether racist people use a word is not relevant; [35] [36] unless there are obvious non-WP:LABEL alternatives (which there aren't here), there is no need to use words that mean something different for Orwellian reasons. wumbolo ^^^ 12:10, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The legal term is not synonymous (because it does not refer to individuals living in the U.S. without legal authorization), the way the term is used conventionally (for example, by you and E.M. Gregory who use it to refer to individuals living in the U.S. without legal authorization while also misusing the legal term) is synonymous with "undocumented immigrant"/"unauthorized immigrant"/"illegal immigrant".

Regarding If the content was removed from the broader article, this can't be a WP:POVFORK - ?? From that page: "POV forks generally arise when contributors disagree about the content of an article or other page. Instead of resolving that disagreement by consensus, another version of the article (or another article on the same subject) is created to be developed according to a particular point of view." Content of the other article was removed. Editors disagreed. Discussion is still ongoing, even. Instead of resolving that disagreement by consensus, EM Gregory created another article on the same subject with the debated material. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:19, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This list was created after the article creator failed to get approval to fill several immigration-related articles with similar anecdotal content (e.g. "illegal immigrants XYZ committed grotesque murders"), had his category "Crimes committed by illegal immigrants"[37] deleted, and created the dubious Illegal immigration to the United States and crime for the sole reason to list these individual crimes (though the list within the article was eventually removed)[38]. The editor has in the past recognized that the academic research on the topic of crime and illegal immigration disagrees with him[39], and the desire to highlight individual crimes by illegal immigrants seems intended to give the false impression that illegal immigrants are particularly crime-prone. Lastly, "illegal alien" is a pejorative and fails WP:LABEL. Wikipedia is not Breitbart, and the desire to introduce the equivalent of Breitbart's "Black crime" category[40] should be frowned upon considerably. If this article is OKayed, it'll be propagated by every white supremacist, racist and immigration hardliner on forums and in social media to give the appearance that illegal immigrants are particularly crime-prone (even though the research on the subject completely debunks that notion). It is utterly beyond me how editors can claim there is no NPOV problem here. I eagerly anticipate "List of crimes by African-Americans" and "List of gang rapes by Muslims" now that some Wikipedia editors want to open this pandora's box of , and allow this website to corrupt public discourse and perception in this way. It is no coincidence that this list mirrors the Trump administration's Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement initiative, the sole purpose of which was to race-bait and scapegoat illegal immigrants by highlighting all the grotesque crimes committed by individual illegal immigrants. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 11:06, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Of course there are notable propaganda subjects, conspiracy theories, pseudoscience etc. We can create pages about such subjects as long as they are clearly described on the page as propaganda/falsehoods. But unfortunately the lists, categories and infoboxes have no such NPOV protection. Simply by creating such list one makes a political statement, which is inherently POV. That's the problem.

Illegal alien is a tightly defined, technical, legal term, see: Alien (law)#United States. Euphemisms such as undocumented alien are neither used in law nor are they tightly defined by American law. Dislike for a legal term does not change the fact that it is the accurate and legal term.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:27, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's been repeatedly pointed out to you that the term is not a "tightly defined, technical, legal term". It's a term of affinity to racists, immigration hardliners and far-right publications. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 11:34, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Used in law, in courts of law, judicial opinions, and academic legal journals. I am not opposed to using the more common phrase "illegal immigrant," but since this is a list of a legally-defined, I did think that the legal term of art was appropriate - to keep the definition of eligible crimes precise.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:22, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Again, just because some bigoted US courts use a racist and dehumanizing phrase does not mean we need to also use it in Wikipedia voice. You are calling for Wikipedia to endorse a racist construct to-whit that immigrants are A) not human and B) can possibly be intrinsically illegal. Both of these constructs deserve scrutiny. Both are deeply, fundamentally and offensively racist. Simonm223 (talk) 12:45, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While many of us may WP:IDONTLIKE that this is a notable topic - crimes by illegal aliens are clearly discussed by the news media - and heck the President of the US - as a set. This is not a WP:POVFORK, as this content does not appear in the parent article (and perhaps it shouldn't). The article amply meets WP:LISTPEOPLE / WP:LISTCRITERIA. There may be scope for a merge to the parent article - but not on notability grounds (based on editorial discretion on whether the list should be separate from the article). WP:NOTCENSORED is a thing too - even for topics we don't like. "Illegal alien" is a legal term - there may be scope to change the title to "illegal immigrant" or "undocumented immigrant" - which all mean basically the same thing - but that's for a move discussion, not deletion.Icewhiz (talk) 15:35, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - After seeing a comment along the lines of "the list just collects bluelinks," I looked at something that seems worth noting here. In addition to creating this list and illegal immigration to the United States and crime, EM Gregory is also the primary contributor to fully half of the articles on this list (creator of most of those), and has made multiple edits to all of them. Now, I know EMG well enough to know that he often edits articles about crimes, so I'm trying not to leap to a conclusion, but it's hard not to see this list as unifying a lot of effort creating the appearance on Wikipedia of a link between illegal immigration and crime. I'd love to be shown to be wrong here -- it's just unusual to see a controversial new article and its constituent parts be the product of a single editor. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:27, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note 1.) creating well sourced articles on notable events is a positive contribution. 2.) I create articles on a wide range of topics. 3.) It is not true that I created "fully half" of the articles on the list, although it would not be improper to have done so.

Also, notwithstanding Dlthewave's efforts to bring it weakly into compliance, this page, as it stood was in pretty serious violation of WP:LIBEL.

It beggars belief that anyone with even the weakest grasp of BLP could think it's ok to treat "list of crimes committed in the United States by illegal aliens" as though it were "list of acts in the United States for which someone who might have been in the country illegally has been accused, regardless of conviction" ... and even restoring such material after it was challenged on BLP grounds... — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:10, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We're actually extremely careful about how we describe suspects in situations like this. Even when there is no question that the suspect pulled the trigger, there are cases such as Shooting of Kate Steinle (one of the examples which I removed from the list) where they are later acquitted of the murder charges for various reasons. –dlthewave ☎ 18:15, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me clarify, I'm thankful for your efforts to remove overtly libelous material from this page. I don't think it could get better than weakly compliant, another reason for both deletion and sanctioning the article creator for this lapse of judgment. Simonm223 (talk) 18:21, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please reread that policy. Editors who create and edit articles in Category:2010s murders in the United States do indeed "consider" whether a crime is notable enough to have a page, but when a crime and the name of the suspect has been splashed across the front page, it is COMMON to include the name and, indeed, no court in the United States would listen to an assertion the suspect in the recent Marshall County High School shooting, Killing of Mollie Tibbetts, Thousand Oaks shooting, or Juan David Ortiz and Wilbur Ernesto Martinez-Guzman are protected by libel laws from having their names published. Nor will their names be protected form libel laws in the event that ehthey are acquitted, articles in reputable publications will state that they were "acquitted due to ...". E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:32, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If that is your common practice that is a problem, as WP:BLPCRIME says For relatively unknown people, editors must seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed, or is accused of having committed, a crime, unless a conviction has been secured. A living person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until convicted by a court of law. Accusations, investigations and arrests do not amount to a conviction. nableezy - 18:38, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - there is a pattern in the creations of such articles as 2002 Queens rape, Murder of the Zhuo family, Murder of Eliud Montoya, Tulare County spree shooting, Wilbur Ernesto Martinez-Guzman and this list. That pattern strikes me as eerily similar to Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Noleander. Particularly contributions to Wikipedia concerning individual [illegal immigrants], lists of [illegal immigrants], ... can reasonably be perceived as consistently reflecting negative views of [illegal immigrant] individuals and [illegal immigrants as a group]. There is a strong and persistent tendency to depict both individual [illegal immigrants] and [illegal immigrants as a group] in an unfavorable and/or stereotyped fashion. I suppose that is a matter for an arbitration case or an RFC/U though. But here, this article, should be deleted as a BLP nightmare. You would need sources for both the person who commited the crime to have been an illegal immigrant and sources for a criminal conviction (and being in the country illegally is not a criminal offense, it is a civil one, so there would need to be a conviction for a crime other than unlawful presence). Beyond that, the intersection between illegal immigrant and crime may be a popular one right this second, but I dont see how it merits a list. We dont have a list of crimes committed by native born Americans. We dont have a list of crimes committed by legal resident aliens in the country. We dont have a list of crimes committed by naturalized citizens either. This is just another in a string of articles created to perpetuate the lie that illegal immigrants are causing mayhem in the streets. nableezy - 18:38, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for two reasons. First, this has been already deleted as a category (see here). How one can make a list about something that should not be combined as a single category? Second, one could make similar lists about crimes committed by homeless people, supporters of Republican party, ethnic minorities in the United States, and so on. Should they be kept? Importantly, there is actually a negative correlation between the numbers of crimes and someone being an illegal alien. Therefore, I think this list can qualify even as an attack page. My very best wishes (talk) 19:48, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We have a great many lists of crimes organized by the legally defined status of the perpetrator: List of Albuquerque police shootings, List of United States federal officials convicted of corruption offenses, List of United States state officials convicted of federal corruption offenses, List of United States local officials convicted of federal corruption offenses, List of United States unincorporated territory officials convicted of federal corruption offenses, List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, List of Irish Republican Army ambushes, List of war crimes. In addition, there are many embedded crime lists, such as ISIL beheading incidents, and the "victims" subhead in Ángel Maturino Reséndiz. The fact is that Illegal immigration to the United States and crime is a notable topic, and the arguments to delete this List of crimes committed in the United States by illegal aliens amount to WP:IDONTLIKE, but this is a list of well-sourced, bluelinked articles, and WP:NOTCENSORED. As that POLICY states: "Wikipedia may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive‍—‌even exceedingly so. Attempting to ensure that articles and images will be acceptable to all readers, or will adhere to general social or religious norms, is incompatible with the purposes of an encyclopedia".E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:09, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All lists you included above are fine, unlike this list. I would say only the List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States might be challenged as POV, but it is arguably OK because shooting by police officers during arrests does happen very often and therefore relevant. This list, however, is inherently POV, just as would be a List of killings by Jews in the United States, for example. Hence delete. My very best wishes (talk) 00:22, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So you're saying that U.S. unincorporated territory officials convicted of federal corruption offenses "happen very often"? And what about the "List of United States federal officials convicted of corruption offenses" and "List of United States local officials convicted of federal corruption offenses" articles? There are thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of federal and local officials (particularly local officials). These articles (particularly the latter) comprise only a tiny sliver of the total number of federal and local officials. By your logic, we should delete them too, as they're POV against federal and local government (and yes, there are people who oppose the existence/powers of either one or the other).

As I've stated elsewhere in this discussion, this article (like all the other articles mentioned by E.M.Gregory) do not imply that the various crimes are widespread or common. --1990'sguy (talk) 01:11, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The constant dismissal of people’s opinions of this amateur personal essay (that’s what this is) as “I don’t like it” is stupidity.

This article's existence does not imply there's "a larger trend" -- User:E.M.Gregory pointed out several article lists, but none of them imply any "wider trend." For example, the "List of United States local officials convicted of federal corruption offenses" and "List of United States unincorporated territory officials convicted of federal corruption offenses" articles don't imply that extremely rampant corruption exists among local and unincorporated territory officials, just as this article doesn't imply that illegal aliens are all mass murderers and criminals. --1990'sguy (talk) 21:47, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's a great question. I think it demonstrates just how much of a judgment call can come into play when we're talking about stand-alone lists, which are by definition aggregates of sources and requires at least a little editor influence into what we collate into stand-alone lists. The issue of crime as it pertains to those who have entered the US illegally is a topic that is often discussed in reliable sources and is therefore a topic of encyclopedic interest. The examples you gave are much different. Cosmic Sans (talk) 15:48, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The context in which it is discussed by RS is to debunk the falsehood that illegal immigrants are particularly crime-prone. The creation of this list serves to magnify and promote that falsehood without identifying it as a falsehood. Also, crimes by African-Americans and gang rapes by Muslims are two topics that are covered extensively by RS. And it is in my mind bizarre to argue that it would have been OK to create "List of crimes by African-Americans" in the 1960s just because prominent racists at the time promoted the myth that blacks are crime-prone and RS covered their racist propaganda (even when describing it as such). I mean, would we seriously OK "List of child sex abuse committed by LGBT individuals" if a hateful homophobe somehow managed to make this into a topic that RS had to repeatedly debunk (and thus got RS coverage)? Snooganssnoogans (talk) 15:56, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As nasty as it sounds, if Wikipedia was around in the 1960s and if it had the same policies as today, you'd probably a lot more than just that list. The standard of Wikipedia is not truth, but verifiability in reliable sources. The reliable sources of the day were very racist, and that would have shown through here. Cosmic Sans (talk) 15:59, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My point was lost. If every RS had covered that as a falsehood, why then would Wikipedia have covered the lie as if it were correct? That is where the NPOV violation lies. The article creator has already copped to holding a FRINGE POV on the subject and been unable to insert this race-baiting propaganda into various immigration-related articles, but now looks certain to finally get to create a propaganda piece where this lie that illegal immigrants are crime-prone will reach the masses and get the Wikipedia stamp of legitimacy. If this gets OKayed, it will be the most insidious and heinous Wikipedia page, and do nothing but misinform and stir hatred. And editors are OKaying it because it happens to have been covered by RS (which universally debunk the falsehood). Snooganssnoogans (talk) 16:07, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I don't think this article is stating or implying that illegal immigrants are crime-prone. It lists nine incidents over the past 27 years. If the article was a screed about how terrible illegal immigrants are, I'd agree with you, but it seems to be a stand-alone list referencing existing Wikipedia articles. Everything on this list has a corresponding Wikipedia article. Cosmic Sans (talk) 16:44, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) That's not true, especially for some types of crimes or some groups of immigrants. Plenty of RS support it (or don't say that it is false) [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52]. wumbolo ^^^ 17:08, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You should strike your comment: (1) The Pew source is about the crime of illegally crossing borders. Of course, this is a crime that illegal immigrants are overrepresented for. (2) This is a Fox News analysis of data (data conveniently not made available to anyone else) by Malia Zimmermann (who has no research expertise on this or any matter) who was also behind the Seth Rich hoax story. (3) The third source is a non-peer-reviewed paper by John Lott, who is renowned for his shoddy research that conventionally always supports rightwing talking points (his papers are literally used in methodology textbooks as examples of rubbish research designs and methods). (4) The fourth source is not about undocumented immigrants. Furthermore, it‘s for federal crimes, which are an infinitesimal share of crimes in the US. (5) Not a RS. (6) Can‘t see what this has to do with the topic. (7) The Economist piece is gated, but it would astound me if a quality RS like the Economist would promote the falsehood that undocumented immigrants are crime-prone. (8) There is nothing in this study about illegal immigrants. A separate study by the same authors explicitly concludes that deporting illegal immigrants would likely not reduce crime.[53] (9) Not a RS, it‘s an op-ed by a nobody. (10) CIS is renowned for its shoddy reports, which all conveniently find, in conflict with nearly all other studies, that immigrants and immigration are harmful on every level and dimension.

Keep with no prejudice against a second nomination if a non-trivial number of the blue-links are deleted. This meets my WP:SAL criteria - it contains blue links, is a grouping often used in "the media" to describe many of the events, and those events aren't on other WP:SAL pages. Whether those pages are notable events or not is a different question. All murders are tragic, but not all are notable. If a contributor feels that all murders committed by illegal immigrants are notable because they are committed by illegal immigrants, they will likely be rebuked for a WP:POV violation.

Keep: This article uses solid sources and the criteria for inclusion are unambiguous. I don't really understand how it could become a POVFORK when the criteria for inclusion are well-defined and based on facts that have been reported clearly in reliable news articles. The topic itself is undoubtedly notable, and I think that a list to accompany the article Illegal immigration to the United States and crime is worthwhile.Worldlywise (talk) 02:08, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Notable topic. Passes WP:GNG. Sources such as The New York Times and The Washington Post are fine. Is it the widely used term "illegal alien" that some people dislike? Perhaps a case of WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT. The legal system in the United States has used the term "illegal alien", even if some people may be sensitive about the term. At WP:NOTCENSORED, it states: Wikipedia may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive‍. Attempting to ensure that articles and images will be acceptable to all readers is incompatible with the purposes of an encyclopedia. I'm sure that out of the 5 million or so articles on Wikipedia, there would be some I dislike, but an encyclopedia provides content and information to people and this article passes notability guidelines. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 03:23, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because notability is based on the group and not the individual list items, per our notability guideline for stand-alone lists, WP:LISTN: "Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group." In this case, while the individual crimes may be notable, the group "crimes committed by illegals" is not notable (reliable sources do not publish a list of crimes committed by illegal immigrants), and therefore, this should not be a stand-alone list. For us to compile such a list when no RSes compile such a list would be original research. (Unlike a list of terrorist attacks, which many RSes have published.) When the category was deleted, editors !voted delete based on SYNTH and POV (which others have covered above). Same at the ongoing RfC for the embedded list. Same here. I hope !keeps will reconsider that all the sources are for individual list items (and look how short it is btw), and there are no RSes for the list as a group. Delete, it's POV SYNTH that fails to meet our LISTN notability guideline. Leviv ich 07:09, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Levivich: - that is a somewhat untenable policy position - as this seems to be covered by sources - Trump asked for a list of crimes committed by immigrants. So where is it?, Trumps reads out list of criminal offences committed by illegal immigrants in the US, Trump administration publishes first 'weekly list of crimes' committed by immigrants, Independent, President Donald Trump to publish weekly list of crimes committed by immigrants, Indpendent. I am willing to re-consider my !vote above, but the sole policy grounds I see is at the moment WP:IAR (based on such a list being inappropriate - and reading the arguments above, I do think that List of crimes committed by class of people X can be offensive and with a bad taste - which is more a comment on the underlying society that has made this a notable topic). I don't see what WP:NOT this fails (and the inappropriate argument - seems to run foul of WP:NOTCENSORED). In short - if sources do cover this type of list - on what policy grounds to you exclude ? Icewhiz (talk) 07:21, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Icewhiz, not IAR this time :-) The policy is WP:NPOV and WP:OR and the guideline is WP:LISTN. Your sources are good examples: It's Trump who is trying to say that a "list of crimes by illegal immigrants" is a thing. You can see how the media talks about "the list", but they themselves do not actually publish a list of crimes (so-and-so killed so-and-so on such-and-such a date, like our list has). Donald Trump himself is a primary not secondary source (he's just repeating the list, not analyzing it or anything). But reliable secondary sources like scholarly journals or reputable media have never (AFAIK) published a list of crimes committed by illegal immigrants. They talk about crime and immigration, including illegal immigration, in the sociological sense (and we have an article on that, Illegal immigration to the United States and crime), they talk about statistics, and policies, but they don't publish a list of actual crimes like who killed who when, and call it a "list of crimes by illegal immigrants" (nor by race, or religion, or gender, etc.). Unlike a list of terrorist attacks, or a list of political assassinations, a list of Oscar winners, etc., those are all published. But a list of crimes by illegal immigrants isn't a list of items that have been grouped together like this before by RSes, so our grouping it woudl be OR. As was pointed out in the category deletion, this is an "unrelated intersection" or whatever you call it. A) A crime was committed. B) The perpetrator was an illegal immigrant. But RSes don't put A and B together into a list; it's OR for us to do it. Just like we don't have a List of crimes by eye color, or List of crimes committed by people wearing sneakers, and for us to create one would be improper OR SYNTH. As for WP:NOTs, it hits a few: WP:NOTFORUM #1 (original research by combining list items that haven't been combined by other RSes in this way); WP:NOTADVOCACY #1 (propaganda), #2 (opinion, e.g. about illegal immigration), #3 (scandal mongering, about illegal immigration); WP:NOTDIR #1 (lists of loosely associated topics), #6 (non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations), WP:NOTNEWS #3 (who's who Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event, in proportion to their importance to the overall topic.). The topic, in the article Illegal immigration to the United States and crime, and what Trump says about it in the articles about him and his policy positions, are all notable/significant; but a stand-alone list of individual crimes collected where the only thing in common is the immigration status of the perpetrator, is OR and NOT... something we should !keep :-) Leviv ich 07:49, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Other analogous examples: we have articles about domestic violence but we don't have a List of men who beat their wives. We have articles about child abuse but not a List of pedophiles. We do however have a List of serial killers, because that is a notable list (a list like that has been published by reliable secondary sources), where as the other two are not notable, so even though we could compile such a list, it would be OR. Leviv ich 07:53, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes - but in this case - the US federal government (per links in my query above) is compiling a weekly list of such crimes, releasing it, and it seems this is reported on by the media and elsewhere. If you give me a good policy based reason to support deletion (even though there is coverage - lets assume there are published lists even if you disagree) - then you'll flip my !vote.Icewhiz (talk) 07:58, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Icewhiz Don't buy Trump's BS! The government is not creating such a list, Trump just says they are. Here is the most-recent report I can find (from June 2018). You'll see it has like 14 names of illegal immigrants in federal custody (that's a subset of crimes).

Here's the kicker, footnote 7:

The information contained within these examples comes entirely from the cited media reports. Neither DOJ nor DHS make any assurances as to the accuracy of the information provided in these examples, nor have DOJ or DHS independently confirmed any of the information in this section. The examples are provided solely for the purpose of demonstrating the type of information that is often contained within media reports about criminal activity.

They aren't compiling the report from actual data, they're just listing some examples from the media! To me this shows why the US government is not a reliable source. They explicitly say they cannot assure the accuracy of the information! Also, remember that the US has 2 million prisoners (!), and here we have a list of 14 names–totally out of proportion, totally UNDUE. This is nothing more than anti-immigrant propaganda in my view. Leviv ich 15:38, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well - the media - generally is a RS - a press-roundup based on media is still a RS - and if the roundup paper is re-reported by media RS it is blessed yet again as a RS. What I'm missing here - is policy grounds for deletion. My view is that this is discussed as a set in RSes (definitely since it became part of the Trump agenda - possibly before as well). I don't like that it is discussed - and the media is prompted to cover this by the adminstration's spin - but there are RSes reporting on various lists with this intersection (crime + illegal immigrant). So given sources - what's our policy based rationale for deletion? If you give me a good policy based excuse here - I will bite - because I'd prefer this sort of list to be deleted.Icewhiz (talk) 15:45, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OR and NLIST. NLIST says some reliable source somewhere has to publish a list, as a list, before we can publish the list. Look at the WP:V or even the pillars for policy: Wikipedia should not be the first source to ever publish a list of illegal immigrant crimes–but this is exactly what we're doing. Nobody else in the world has ever published this list–not the US government, not any media, there are no books (AFAIK). So for us to do so is OR, isn't it? Or do you disagree? "Wikipedia doesn't lead, it follows" is what I'm arguing. Leviv ich 15:49, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, the concept of a list, or an article about the government's list, would certainly be fair game. But the list itself – combining crimes together based on the immigration status of the offender – this is what's novel and basically not notable, because no other RSes have combined crimes together based on immigration status and published it before. Leviv ich 15:50, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a RS doing its own research - The Boston Globe (which is one of the real US newspapers - e.g. like LA Times)- Criminal immigrants reoffend at higher rates than ICE has suggested, Boston Globe, 4 June 2016 - is prior to Trump being elected. "The names of these criminals have never before been made public and are coming to light now only because the Globe sued the federal government for the list of criminals immigration authorities returned to neighborhoods across the country. A judge ordered the names released in 2013, and the Globe then undertook the work that the federal government didn’t, scouring court records to find out how many released criminals reoffended.". Give me a policy based excuse (in the face of sources discussing this) - and I will flip. Icewhiz (talk) 15:53, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The cited RS is not about illegal immigrants. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 15:58, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Er... yes, it is. It is a story that is about "illegal immigrants" who committed crimes and were incarcerated and scheduled for deportation, but who, when released, were not deported and went on to commit other crimes, "the review reveals the damage inflicted on victims by criminals who were ordered to be deported when their sentences were complete, and were not."E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:44, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, the story at no point identifies these individuals as illegal immigrants (or any synonym). The story certainly does not identify them as illegal immigrants before they received the deportation order. Furthermore, receiving a deportation order does not make someone an illegal immigrant AFAIK. Deportation orders can be revoked and individuals with deportation orders can obtain legal status (e.g. DACA recipients). I mean, countless American citizens have received deportation orders.[54] Snooganssnoogans (talk) 18:02, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's also not a list of names. They talk about a list, but they don't publish the list. OR is the policy that would prohibit us from publishing such a list when no RSes have published such a list. Leviv ich 16:08, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It links to the list : "The Globe has also published, in conjunction with this story, a searchable database of the thousands of names that were disclosed to the news organization, so that crime victims, law enforcement officials, and managers of sex offender registries — who are often unaware of these releases — can find out if the criminals may still be in the United States."E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:47, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn't. First, it's not a list, it's a link to a searchable crime database. There are lots of searchable crime databases, and they are all primary sources. None are a list of illegal immigrant criminals, and neither is the Globe's. Leviv ich 23:15, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the perfectly valid lists already cited, please note Politifact (2016) helpfully enumerated three cases with all relevant details, including: illegal alien status of the perpetrator, name of the victim, date of the victim's death, and name of the perpetrator.^[1] Subsequently, The New York Times (2018) also enumerated a couple of the cases, also providing illegal alien status of the perpetrator, name of the victim, date of the victim's death, and name of the perpetrator.^[2] Townhall (2017) published a more extensive list.^[3] NLIST objections are therefore inapplicable to this article.

Ummm... do you guys read these sources before you post them here? The DOJ/DHS report EM linked to is discussed above, I quoted from footnote 7, which explains it isn't a DOJ/DHS list at all, but a compilation of news reports, for which the DOJ/DHS cannot guarantee accuracy. I.e., not a reliable source per the source itself. Footnote 7.

The Politifact and Townhall "lists" are actually not lists that they put together, but rather those outlets reporting on the list of people that Trump named in a speech, and Trump got that from said DOJ/DHS report. So, a primary source parroting what the government is saying, and the government conceded what its saying cannot be guaranteed to be accurate.

What the nativists of Wikipedia fail to understand is that there's nothing special, and therefore nothing notable about the national origin or citizenship status of people who commit a crime. Time and again, research has demonstrated that immigration status either has no correlation to criminality or weakly correlates to reduced criminality. And that makes the framing of an article that attempts to separate this out as a distinct and notable category of crime inherently a violation of WP:NPOV. Reliable sources say this isn't a thing that needs scrutiny. There's nothing there. It's a fantasy in the head of deranged racists. So creating a list of these statistically inconsequential crimes is propagating a racist fantasy. Simonm223 (talk) 13:41, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Synthesis and POV/neutrality issues. Illegal immigration to the United States and crime can cover the concept, but an attempted list of incidents, as a separate article on as part of that one, is inappropriate and the list was created as a POV content fork. Notable incidents where the immigration status is relevant can be discussed there but this stand-alone list is merely synthesis of unrelated crimes. Reywas92^Talk 08:09, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. In the absence of List of crimes committed in the United States (by legal aliens? by citizens of the US? not to mention by citizens of the Netherlands, Green Card holders, men, truck drivers, English professors, etc), this is a clear POV construction--it supposes that there is something important about certain crimes having been committed by furriners. The fun fact of course is that if we had List of crimes committed in the United States by non-illegal non-aliens, that list would be a million times longer--and that alone points at the undue-ness of this. Drmies (talk) 17:58, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as this is a synthesised list for a cross category (List of X belonging to Y). At the moment, there is no definite guideline on notability of such lists. The closest I found was There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y") or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists, although non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations are touched upon in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, available in WP:NOTESAL. Interestingly, Category:Crimes committed by illegal immigrants was deleted, which makes me lean towards deletion. Unless multiple reliable sources have documented such a list and it has been shown to be notable, I think it is pure WP:SYNTH to create one. For example, List of crimes in USA by NRA members could plausibly exist, but there is no need to have one unless it has actually been published in reliable sources. This list violates WP:OR and it is particularly POV, given that a list documenting crimes by people other than illegal immigrants, does not exist. I am also concerned about BLP/NPOV issues and I think Wikipedia should avoid keeping anything which denigrates an individual without legal proof (a few articles for a short while in some sensationalist media do not count).--DreamLinker (talk) 18:52, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I dislike that speculation, but I would certainly never suggest that the article is deleted based on a personal dislike.

Delete - while "undocumented immigrants + crime" is notable (because of the political concerns), the data suggests that undocumented immigrants commit less crime than other demographic groups in the US. This list then, is a cherry-picked set which is against the normal trend. Trying to come up with an appropriately NPOV title for this list would be almost impossible. Guettarda (talk) 05:13, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Guettarda. Undocumented immigrants and crime is a notable subject, but the list of said crimes isn't. The media typically talks about undocumented immigrants and crime in a general, vague sense and not specifically the individual members of the group. Pinguinn 🐧 06:01, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. ~~Wouldn't whatever the goals of this page are be better accomplished with a category?~~ The problem is one of scope, I think. Imagine an alien named Goona Goons, summoned to court and convicted of, say, shoplifting a can of tuna from the neighborhood shop, or failing to wear a yellow vest while performing roadworks, or even copy-lifting prose from the Daily Beast right into en.wp. None of these minor crimes would be notable enough for a stand-alone article and so would be WP:UNDUE here. Yet, to have the sort of meaningful list the reader is entitled to expect from the title, the page would need to include crimes that it cannot because they were not "notable". Imagine another alien, this time called AgonsAgons & co., registered on some balmy island or wind-blown rock, which decided to defy the US government proscription on trade with Venezuela (think of the BoE holding Venezuelan gold, for example) Sudan, or Iran; or which was convicted of discriminatory labor practices or tax fraud. This would be notable enough to add to the page, and yet seems entirely out of sync with inaccurate (US) readers' expectations that an alien is necessarily a living person.

Delete. As well as this being an unencyclopedic cross-categorisation, the list is hopelessly biased. When I looked at it earlier today all of the entries dated from after 1990, and, more egregiously, all of the claimed perpetrators of these crimes, except for one token Chinese, were Latin American. Illegal aliens have existed in the US, and some of them have been committing crimes, since the first immigration restrictions were introduced in the 19th century, and have been from many different ethnic groups. This article is just as bad as an article called List of crimes committed in the United States by legal residents that only listed crimes committed by Irish Americans. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:14, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is quite a short list, 12 crimes. That is part of the point, actually. Individuals expecting to find a long list of crimes to support Trump's assertions will be disappointed. The perps come from many countries (Phil Bridger missed perp in Murder of Casey Chadwick,) but the point is that this is NOT a list categorized by ethnic group, it is a list of notable crimes committed by persons in a country illegally, and they come in all colors.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:24, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, I did not miss Murder of Casey Chadwick, and it led me to say "Latin American", which includes Haiti, rather than "Hispanic". If you're going to edit in this area then you need at least to understand such distinctions. Why, out of all the illegal aliens who have committed crimes in the United States since the concept of "illegal aliens" existed, did you choose to list eleven crimes supposedly committed by Latin Americans and one other, all (except maybe one) from the last 20 years? If you can't see that that is obvious bigotry then you shouldn't be editing an encyclopedia. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:41, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Phil, you may well be correct that there have been many "illegal aliens who have committed crimes in the United States." I hope that you will add some of these crimes to the list. Were some of the perps in the French Connection here illegally?E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:51, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are putting words into my mouth. I did not say that many illegal aliens have committed crimes, but that some have, and there is strong evidence for the basic common sense that illegal aliens are less likely to commit crimes than legal residents. Certainly, if I was an illegal alien, I would try to keep my head down and not do anything that might draw the attention of the authorities towards me. If I thought that this was a viable article I would add some balance to it, but, as I said at the beginning of the comment that started this thread, this is an unencyclopedic cross-categorisation.

Delete - On a purely technical level, the list's notability criteria is non-existent. Is it purely just for violent crime? On a moral level, the list is nothing more than hate speech. It would be along the same lines as having a "List of crimes committed in Germany by Jews." In other words, it is functioning as a soapbox (and recruitment tool) for xenophobes in the United States.

The fact that no crimes before the '90's are listed is certainly enough to suspect shenanigans, especially given 1800s and turn-of-the-century America's quite blatant xenophobia (especially towards the Irish, Africans, Italians, and Chinese, whether they were native-born or not). —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^Bori! 03:15, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Suntory. Japanese wikipedia has at least one informative source [56], though you can also find passing mentions in English-language books/articles about health products under the romanized name Tekkotsu Inryo(u) (e.g. [57] [58] [59]). The product seems to have been known mostly for a hugely popular 1989 television commercial, and the product's later revival essentially played on nostalgia about that earlier advertisement/song (see also [60]). However, the current article mentions none of this, and the product is probably better discussed in context in Suntory anyway, where it is currently listed under the content-deficient "Food for specified health uses" section. Nothing here to merge, really, and even though the likelihood of someone searching for "Calcium and Iron Beverage" with the intent of finding this specific product is probably low, redirects are cheap.

Her husband appears to be more notable for running a publishing house and writing books, rather than owning land, though it's somewhat weak too.

Keep I read through the article, I think royalty holds a certain amount of notability and is very well recorded.

Delete I do not find any significant coverage, apart from genealogical (eg Debrett's Peerage), or in connection with her step-son's mother. I voted to Keep the article about Princess Christina Margarethe of Hesse because there has been significant coverage of her - no doubt because of her relationship to Prince Philip, but anyway a reason for authors and journalists write articles or sections of books about her. For Thyra von Westernhagen, I have not found any news items apart short notices of her marriage, and mentions in relation to her stepson's mother, and nothing in books. So although she is related by marriage to the British royal family, and holds the title of Princess, it seems that she hasn't been considered significant enough to write about. If there is coverage in sources I'm not aware of, then she might well qualify for a WP article, but without that, she does not meet any notability guidelines. (Someone mentioned this AfD in the AfD for Jeanne-Françoise de Coeme, Lady of Lucé and Bonnétable, but while it seems entirely reasonable to find fewer sources for someone who lived in the 16th century, but for someone born in 1973, one would expect to find a lot more.)

To be fair, she may not have been born into a royal house but she was born into a noble house (the House of Westernhagen is much older than the House of Hanover). -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 02:30, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Westernhagens trace their male-line back no earlier than to the 1100s, whereas the House of Hanover, aka the House of Guelph (Welf), extends back in the female line to the first known Welf, who was Count in Linzgau from 842 AD. His descendant and heiress, Kunigunde Welf, wed Azzo II of Este, Margrave of Milan in c.1030, being himself a male-line descendant of Adalberto Obergtenghi who already held the Margraviate of Liguria in 950 AD. Azzo's descendants divided the dynasty's vast possessions into German and Italian realms. The present House of Hanover is the German branch, which reigned within and post-Holy Roman Empire as dukes, prince-electors and then kings until 1918. The wife of the current head of the Hanovers, Princess Caroline, was the heiress presumptive of the Principality of Monaco until the birth in 2014 of legitimate children to her brother, Prince Albert II. By contrast, the Westernhagens, although certainly Uradel, never rose above the minor German nobility, not even attaining the lowest title of baron, and they never exercised sovereignty. The historical significance of the two families is not even remotely comparable. If Thyra is "notable", that status derives entirely from her marriage into the House of Hanover, whose doings continue to be documented in reliable sources because of their historical significance, vast wealth and royal descent. Until the late 1960s, her marriage to the heir would have been deemed morganatic by the Hanovers' house rules. FactStraight (talk) 04:11, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware, but thank you for the history lesson. As I stated, the House of Hanover, as its own independent house, is younger. I did not say that it made them inferior (and there is really no reason to mention the House of Grimaldi in a conversation about the age of the House of Hanover). I also am aware that her family is of the minor nobility, hence her not having a title at birth (in the German system baron is not the lowest title, as Edler and Ritter are both hereditary titles conferring nobility that are lower ranked). All I was saying is that she is from an established, noble family. I did not say I believe that makes her notable, but was clarifying she wasn't of "common" birth, which was seeming to be implied. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 04:28, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are no hereditary titles in Germany. Georg Friedrich, Prince of Prussia has no title, but the last name "Prinz von Preußen". The only special thing about families with names of this type is that the last name changes with gender, and his daughter's last name is "Prinzessin von Preußen".

Sy Rogers

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

WP:BLP of a person whose claims of notability are not properly referenced. Four of the six footnotes here are organizational blogs, while a fifth is a user-generated wiki -- and the only one that's actually a real notability-supporting media outlet is a glancing namecheck of Sy Rogers' existence in an article that's primarily about other people. While a few other sources were removed last year as reference-bombing overkill, none of them actually bolstered the notability case either, as all of them suffered exactly the same problems as the sources that are still present. This states nothing about the subject that is "inherently" notable enough to guarantee someone a Wikipedia article just because they exist, but the content is not referenced anywhere near well enough to get a person over WP:GNG.

Whether the references need improvement or not, the traffic is a strong indicator of the notability of this subject. The article currently averages close to 100 daily views, more than enough to justify the article. - JGabbard (talk) 00:46, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE--What is he notable for? I don't get why a wiki page was created for this guy, a few sources and him being on Youtube does not make him notable. He may be notable where he lives but how many people actually know him. @JGabbard: those 100 daily views may have come from people who have accidentally just clicked on him or pressed the random button on the side bar. I do it all the time. There is actually no proof that this person is actually notable apart from a couple of references. If he was so notable then why is his page a stub? Plum3600 (talk) 14:07, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Randomized views are theoretically spread out across the nearly 6 million articles, so that has no bearing. And no one's notability is dependent on your having heard of them. Most people have never heard of most people. YouTube personalities are a huge thing nowadays, but unnecessary when notoriety was gained decades earlier. And stubs are stubs so they can be developed, not deleted. - JGabbard (talk) 14:57, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Although it is true that articles don't have to already be perfect before they're allowed to exist, they still have to at least contain a credible and properly sourced indication of notability in the first place before they're allowed to exist. If "it might be improvable someday" were all it took to stave off deletion in and of itself, we'd have to always keep an article about every single person who exists at all including you and me and the old lady across the hall. So we don't keep poorly sourced articles just because somebody theorizes that maybe they might become improvable in the future — the key to getting an article into the keep zone in a deletion discussion is to show hard evidence that the quality of sourcing needed to get them over the bar does exist, not just to speculate that it might improve in the future.

Delete – doesn't appear to meet requirements for WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. Efforts to improve have generally relied on single-sentence, trivial coverage in news outlets that mention Rogers in the context of Exodus. Excluding these, what few other sources remain are not reliable sources – they include user-generated wikis, a blog, and an opinion column in Charisma. I found very little in my searches which provides much additional coverage beyond what's already in the article. —0xf₈e₈ (talk) 01:59, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also Spin (magazine): [65]. There is news coverage I have not yet added and also several Books of Christian piety with substantive passages about him or his impact on individual lives, I have not added any because I have not sifted through them.

Keep. Passes WP:GNG not only because of multiple secondary sources, but also a documentary about his life. Rogers is a pioneer figure who gained notoriety in the realm at least five to 10 years before associated figures arose such as John Paulk, Anne Paulk, Andrew Comiskey, John Smid, Alan Chambers, Wayne Besen and Joe Dallas, most of whose articles have far less support than this one now has. Relatively speaking, it would make no sense to keep theirs but not his, because Rogers' notability surpasses theirs and they would all likely say the same. All of them early on would have drawn some inspiration from Rogers. - JGabbard (talk) 14:56, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
