Coach Meddy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:Notability guideline. Note that this article is declared paid editing, which is relevant as supporting evidence that many of the refs are paid advertorials. I spent a long time examining all of the refs in the article and detailing them below, to save everone else the work. I find none qualify as independant reliable signficant coverage. I also searched for additional sources and found no useful ones. That search may have suffered from the fact that I was unable to determine "Coach Meddy"'s actual name! The fact that his actual name appears in NONE of the twelve refs is further evidence of the cookie-cutter paid advertorial nature of nearly all refs here.

List of sources and analysis collapsed for convenience
  • timeoutdubai.com
    It is not relevant whether the site is Reliable. Meddy receives passing mention in two sentences. Meddy is not even the main subject of either sentence. Worthless for establishing Notability.
  • foxsportsasia.com
    Appears to be Reliable, however Meddy receives a one-sentence passing mention. Worthless for establishing Notability.

I believe every source below is an over-the-top paid advertorial, almost certainly all written by the same author. Nearly all of the sources are websites with tiny "staff", no reputation for anything, and either explicity state that they carry paid advertorials or are rampant with blatant paid advertorials.

  • telegraphstar.com
    Not Reliable. Explicitly carries paid advertorials. Their advertize page states: "Advertorial Guest Posting Method : We are publishing your informational / advertorial articles in our website, news articles".
  • newsblaze.com
    Not Reliable. Explicitly carries paid stories. Their contact page states: "Done For You Media Exposure Program Outline ... Press Release, Followup interviews, Followup stories and social followup."
  • thriveglobal.com
    Not Reliable. Explicitly carries paid advertorials. Their media partnerships page states: "Custom-branded packaging and placement in our high-impact editorial content."
  • arizonadailyregister.com
    Not Reliable. Author is explicitly a paid-content marketer. At the bottom of the article About the Author states "Shane is a cryptocurrency journalist and an ICO writing consultant at The Written Craft content service." Going to The Written Craft, he states "This is where I offer my blockchain content writing and copywriting services... I’m a certified content marketer."
  • kathmandutribune.com (there is currently an open AFD for this site)
    Not Reliable. Tiny staff and invites article submissions. The about page states the site is run by two people, plus two foreign correspondents. Also the contact page states: "Kathmandu Tribune welcomes submissions of op-eds and articles on any topic for publication in online." I could find no explicit statement whether payment would help get an article onto the website. However I think the "article" answers this for itself.
  • TGDaily.com
    Not Reliable. I can't find explicit advertizing info, but it looks like just about every article in the Health section is a paid ad.
  • oneworldherald.com
    Not Reliable. Same issue as TGDaily. Spotchecking articles turned up rampant blatant avdertorials / product links. I only need to cite one of their "articles" to make the point:
  • newdaylive.com
    Not Reliable. Same issue as TGDaily and oneworldherald. This article tells you where to buy the best buy Marijauna-oil, and this OMG-advertorial tells you what company to call to have a docor come to your home and hydrate you via IV. You know, for people who are too rich too busy to hydrate by... actually drinking beverages. The ad article says the service is available in "29 metropolitan markets in the United States, United Kingdom, and Spain". Sorry Canadians, you'll have to actually drink your beverages by mouth. Swallowing counts as exercise now.
  • kivodaily.com
    The cited article was posted by Dillon Kivo, listed as Editor-In-Chief of kivodaily. Guess what that means? It means Dillon Kivo SELFPUBLISHed the content on his his personal website. However one of the key criteria of Wikipedia guidelines for a source to qualify as Reliable is that it subjects content to responsible editorial review. SELFPUBLISHed content, Not Reliable.
  • freepressjournal.in
    This appears to be the website of an actual paper newspaper in India. I'll invite anyone else to comment on the quality of the source. However the content itself is a blatant advertorial and obviously Not Reliable. I believe almost anyone who has actually read the sources up to this point should be able to recognize that the text of this source has been written by the same over-the-top author.

List of Uplift Universe species (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unsourced article that excessively details the particulars of a novel series. Fails WP:GNG since there is no third-party coverage of this in reliable sources. Fails WP:LISTN since the species are not discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. Fails MOS:REALWORLD. I did find Contacting Aliens: An Illustrated Guide to David Brin's Uplift Universe in a BEFORE, which does not add to the notability of this article since it's a companion book by the novels' author.

Per WP:GNG. Two legitimate sources mention the subject. THT and TKP. THT also mentions Mahesh Paudyal and the photo there was also taken by Mahesh. TKP article is a puff piece written by Mahesh Paudyal. Mahesh Paudyal also wrote another puff piece on him in his personal blog. It was part of a concerted effort to get each other on wikipedia. There was further evidence in edit history of Mahesh Paudyal's page which has since been deleted. This page was created and mostly contributed to by Nepalwrites and this is all that Nepalwrites ever contributed to. I have searched for this person with all search terms I could think of, in Roman as well as Devanagari script. Finally, a fallacious argument: Nor have I or anyone I know of ever heard of him (I should as a resident compatriot). Usedtobecool TALK 22:29, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Fails Notability guidelines. Thehimalayantimes[1] is a one sentence passing mention. (The author very sloppily and unprofessionally duplicated that sentence, which would also raise obvious questions of the reputability and editorial oversight of the source.) Kathmandupost[2] has more substantial coverage, but it's apparently written by one of his university teachers raising significant independence/COI concerns. The other sources in the article are not independent. I also found myrepublica.nagariknetwork,[3] but it's a passing mention, I'm not sure of the quality of the source, and it doesn't help that it's a blatantly promotional event. I searched and was unable to find any other Independent Reliable sources to support Notability. I don't know if there is some local language spelling of his name, but if some one pings me with a another version of the name I'd be happy to search on that as well.

  • Delete Per Alsee. The sources in this article are all either useless or of sketchy value. It therefore fails WP:GNG and the WP:SPA COI issue with the creator means it should be uprooted from the encyclopedia so as not to reward corruption on Wikipedia.

  • Comment The first three pages of Ghits are YouTube videos which doesn't mean much but it shows that they don't perform in English but in some other language which we can guess is Swahili since they're from Uganda. It would be important to evaluate if they have coverage in Swahili-language publications. They do have a bit of coverage in local English-language media (and of course, if they perform in Uganda in Swahili, that's all we'll get) as shown in the sources provided in the article and others such as this and this. All in all, I guess I'm a Weak keep for now. Pichpich (talk) 23:11, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lacking sustained WP:SIGCOV. Also falls under WP:TOOSOON. Based on the available sources, this duo is not notable, but may become notable in the future. That sources may exist elsewhere in a different language and could be found at some vague future point is not a reason to keep this article now, as that is pure WP:CRYSTALBALL. The article fails on the merits now, which is the only thing that matters. Newshunter12 (talk) 08:05, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge as above. Bondegezou (talk) 13:12, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails WP:GNG since it is unsourced and sources found online by the nominator were just press releases. I understand the above two editors' desire to merge this content, but the lack of any sources whatsoever in this article means this content is worthless, so there is no point in sending it somewhere else. If someone desires, they can just find those press releases and try to expand that other article on their own. Newshunter12 (talk) 08:12, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge: to ACM-W per nom. No need for this to be a standalone article. Marquardtika (talk) 22:05, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I don't think a list of chapters would be appropriate in the main article either. Reywas92Talk 22:46, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as separate list. ACM is one of the premier world-wide computing organizations and ACM-W represents a substantial number of members in a large organization. Merging the list into the main ACM-W page would unnecessarily complicate the page. When reviewing [reasons for deletion], it doesn't meet the criteria for deletion: Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following (subject to the condition that improvement or deletion of an offending section, if practical, is preferable to deletion of an entire page):
  1. Content that meets at least one of the criteria for speedy deletion
  2. Copyright violations and other material violating Wikipedia's non-free content criteria
  3. Vandalism, including inflammatory redirects, pages that exist only to disparage their subject, patent nonsense, or gibberish
  4. Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content (but not an article about an advertising-related subject)
  5. Content forks (unless a merger or redirect is appropriate)
  6. Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes)
  7. Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed
  8. Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP, and so forth)
  9. Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons
  10. Redundant or otherwise useless templates
  11. Categories representing overcategorization
  12. Files that are unused, obsolete, or violate the non-free policy
  13. Any other use of the article, template, project, or user namespace that is contrary to the established separate policy for that namespace
  14. Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia

Merging growing lists into the main page would not clarify the information or make it more accessible. Instead, the list needs to be updated to include additional information about this notable organization. We could definitely use more help getting the article completed.Cypherquest (talk) 12:47, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. While the point that notability is not inherited is fair, Doncram's keep argument also mentions that there are substantial-looking sources.

  • Keep. Historic church designed by major architect Richard Upjohn, "high Anglican" style, built in 1891 which is old/historic by U.S./Wisconsin standards. Substantial-looking sources stated at end, though article could be tagged towards encouraging use of in-line citations. Obviously worthy of National Register of Historic Places listing, though many churches choose not to accept listing. --Doncram (talk) 05:43, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Also by the way a new editor interested in the topic emerged after AFD started, and added interesting historic quotation from 1877:

"THE NEW EPISCOPAL CHURCH - We understand that nearly enough has been subscribed to ensure the erection of the Episcopal church. It is proposed to build of brick, suitable in size and form to the anticipated needs of the community, Gothic in style, with symetrical spire, etc. Plan executed by a prominent New York architect are expected soon. The edifice when completed will be an attractive, convenient, and comfortable house of worship, and an ornament to the village. It is intended to be complete, it ready for occupancy free from debt. The title will vest in the Trustees of the diocese until a church shall be organized, when it will be held by the Wardens and Vestrymen of the church."[1]

WP:TOOSOON article about a person who does not yet have any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The notability claims here are a viral video on YouTube, and that he just signed to a record label a few weeks ago -- but having views on social media is not a notability criterion in and of itself, and getting signed to a label is not an instant notability pass for a musician who has not yet released any recorded music on said label. And for sourcing, what we have is one short blurb supporting the signing, one Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself rather than being written about in the third person, and just one piece that's actually substantive enough to count as a data point toward NMUSIC #1. No prejudice against recreation in the future when he actually has a hit single for NMUSIC #2 and/or two full-length albums for NMUSIC #5 under his belt, but he's not entitled to already have an article in advance of actually achieving anything that would actually pass NMUSIC.

KEEP He's got multiple articles about him in mainstream venues. it's not up to wikipedia to decide whether someone's accomplishments are notable. We just report on whether people have been declared notable by the mainstream press. Cuco clearly has been.NoahB (talk) 20:54, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, there are lots more articles about him:

https://www.complex.com/music/2018/04/cuco-who-is https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/9k945v/cuco-is-las-new-romantic-and-hes-only-18 https://tealmagazine.com/articles/interview-with-cuco

Again, the press thanks he's worth talking about. It's 2019; releasing recorded music on an official label shouldn't be the bar for notability now, if it ever was. NoahB (talk) 21:02, 4 June 2019 (UTC)Note to closing admin: NoahB (talkcontribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD. [reply]

Releasing music on an official label is not the only way that a musician can become notable enough for a Wikipedia article; there have been artists who released their music independently, but still got over other NMUSIC criteria with it anyway. But for an artist who has signed to a major label, the release of some actual music on that label is still a base requirement, and merely signing does not constitute a free notability pass in and of itself for a musician who has released absolutely nothing under that contract yet. Musical notability for Wikipedia's purposes requires some form of measurable accomplishment, such as having a hit single or releasing a number of albums or touring, and is not automatically extended to every musician who merely exists but has no quantifiable achievements to measure against NMUSIC at all. "It's 2019" is not a valid argument against the existence of notability criteria. Bearcat (talk) 21:29, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Again, we've got multiple major mainstream news sites doing extended profiles of him, and the existence of a seven figure record deal is notable in itself. You don't think the person should be notable; mainstream sites like NPR and Rolling Stone and Vice disagree. You think there shouldn't be coverage unless someone has released music on a label; again, major mainstream sites disagree.I still don't see why it's Wikipedia's job to erase artists who have been covered in mainstream outlets because we think they don't deserve the attention or some such.NoahB (talk) 05:07, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Saying "there is not enough substance to say about him for a Wikipedia article to be warranted yet" is not the same thing as saying that he somehow doesn't "deserve any attention" — TOOSOON does not mean "never", it just means "not yet". The very reason we have notability standards for musicians, which measure quantifiable achievements and not just verification that the musician exists, is precisely that we don't want to just have to keep an article about every single musician who exists on earth — we want to keep articles about musicians who have achieved notable things in their careers, not just everybody who merely aspires to. Even Beyoncé, in fact, was once an aspiring musician who would not have qualified for an article yet if Wikipedia had existed at the time — once she did achieve something noteworthy, obviously that would have changed, but before she had actually achieved anything would have been TOOSOON.
Signing to a record label is not a Wikipedia notability criterion in and of itself: NMUSIC only invokes record labels in the context of releasing music on the label, and does not extend an automatic inclusion freebie on the basis of merely signing a contract. Lots of artists in history have signed major label contracts, but then gotten dropped before they actually accomplished anything on that label: so being on a major label is only relevant to musical notability insofar as it actually results in albums, singles and/or concert tours, and merely signing the contract is not an instant pass to notability all by itself.
And as for the sources: Q&A interviews like your NPR, Complex and Teal Magazine links, in which the subject is speaking about himself in the first person, are not support for notability. They can be used for supplementary verification of stray facts after notability has already been covered off by stronger sources — but to count as support for his basic notability in the first place, a source has to represent other people writing or speaking about him in the third person. Very short blurbs, similarly, are not support for notability: they can, again, be used for supplementary verification of stray facts after notability has been already covered off by stronger sources, but to count as support for his basic notability a source has to be substantive and not just a short blurb. As of right now, the only source we actually have that is both substantive and third person is the Rolling Stone "how a band geek became a heartthrob" — but one substantive source is not enough to claim that a musician passes NMUSIC #1 in lieu of actually achieving anything relevant to NMUSIC #2-12.
I said right from the beginning that there was no prejudice against recreating the article at a later date once he's actually achieved something relevant to our notability criteria for musicians, like touring or having a hit single or releasing two full albums — but merely signing to a major label does not pass NMUSIC all by itself if he hasn't done anything under that contract yet. Bearcat (talk) 13:46, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is a lot of words to say you don't think that mainstream venues should be covering him yet. But they are. Rather than trying to erase that, we should be neutral, and just accurately cite what they say.NoahB (talk) 13:58, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Don't put words in my mouth. "Mainstream venues should not be covering him yet" is not what I said, it's not what I meant, and it's not what I think — but the context of what they're covering him for is not relevant to whether he's notable enough for a Wikipedia article yet. They're covering him solely in the context of being a young musician who aspires to make it in the future, not in the context of having achieved anything yet.
The existence of one or two pieces of media coverage is not always automatic grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself — if it were, we would have to keep articles about my mother's neighbour who got into the papers a few years ago for finding a pig in her front yard, unsuccessful candidates in city council elections, winners of high school poetry contests, and me — rather, we also test for the context of what the person is getting coverage for, and defer the creation of an article to a later date if there isn't a noteworthy achievement for our article to document yet. That's not a criticism of Cuco as a person, or of the media for covering him: the guy just hasn't done anything relevant to our notability criteria for musicians yet. Maybe in six months he will — that's great, and that's when a Wikipedia article will become warranted. But one substantive piece about him, paired with Q&A interviews and short blurbs, does not equal "a Wikipedia article needs to already exist today even if he hasn't actually accomplished anything noteworthy yet". Bearcat (talk) 14:27, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the NPR piece has a lengthy intro, the Complex piece is not a Q&A. A report on his signing is also substantive. There is plenty of information about him from mainstream sources, which is why there are multiple citations in the article. In the time it's taken you to spin out hundreds of words here, you could have added links, resources and expanded the article. It's super frustrating to try to include information that is quite widely discussed on mainstream sites, only to have a deletion notice put up almost instantly. it really discourages new and infrequent users. NoahB (talk) 14:04, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The Complex piece is a Q&A: the text portion of it is a short prefatory blurb, while the substance of the link is an eight-minute YouTube video which is a Q&A interview featuring him talking about himself. The report on his signing is a blurb. The NPR piece is a Q&A interview, and Q&A interviews always feature short introductions to set up the context before the questions start — so a Q&A interview is not exempted from the problems with Q&A interviews just because a short preface is there, because a short preface is always there in all Q&A interviews.

WP:BLP of a musician whose claims of notability are not properly referenced to reliable source coverage about him. His notability as a musician derives from being a member of a band, not from solo activity, and the sourcing for that consists of a social media post and a Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself -- and of the five sources for his purported notability as a music marketing professional, four of them are glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things or people, and the only one that's actually about him is an employment announcement in an industry trade newsletter that doesn't really clinch his notability all by itself if it's actually the best source on offer. Literally none of this, neither in the substance nor in the sourcing, constitutes reasons why he would qualify for his own standalone article as a separate topic from the band.

Weak keep it looks like theres more here, the reason for notability may be hidden away at the end "His widow had been married to him for 22 years, and wrote a biography of him that was published in 1943, three years after her death.” The article needs cleanup but it also seems like a rough translation from various Afrikaans wiki pages so thats to be expected. I'd suggest a stay of execution but whether or not the subject will eventually meet WP:GNG appears to be up in the air. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 15:02, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I have no idea what the passage in Africaans says, but when the content on her father (which is in his article) is taken out there is very little left.

  • Comment I have removed content that was about her father, not about her, and also the long quote. The para in Afrikaans was the original of the following para in English; I have deleted it, and corrected part of the translation (Anna survived her husband by 22 years, she was not married to him for 22 years). Now I will try to look for additional sources. Based on the contents here, I do not think that she would meet any WP:SNG, so it remains to be seen if she meets WP:GNG, WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO.

While there are many, many ships that ARE notable, this one isn't. According to the page, which is just based on one page, it was completed in 1955 and then transferred to France sometime later that year. As such, it was never really in service, and the fact that the British Navy briefly named it before transferring it isn't notable and barely verifiable. Notability is important.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericwg (talkcontribs) 18:44, 04 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The ship was in service for 32 years and so has an extensive history. Its transfer and name change is included in the article and is not a reason to delete. If we wanted to change the title of the article then this would be done by a move – I'll move it back and forth to demonstrate. Andrew D. (talk) 21:39, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Hmm, this is a tough one. The ship is of course covered in a number of editions of e.g., Jane's Fighting Ships, since she served in the French Navy for a number of decades. I don't have a copy of Jane's any more, still less one from that time period, but from the snippets visible in Google the description appear to be 1-2 sentences. There is no guide for determining ship notability so I am looking at other guides to see if there is anything that might help here, however based on the WP:NASTRO guide this would be keep, since coverage in Jane's would be the counterpart to being listed in a catalogue of interest to amateurs. If, however, it is decided not to keep the article then it should be merged into the article covering the Ham class of minesweepers. FOARP (talk) 21:41, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Don't we need something a bit more substantial to support notability than a Jane's listing, or is that sufficient by itself? I'm inclined to keep but I'm not sure about this point. FOARP (talk) 09:20, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Named warships are usually presumed notable – see WP:SHIPOUTCOMES. The fact that this one was transferred from one navy to another is not especially unusual or any kind of reason to delete. If anything, the transfer makes it more notable because there's more to say and we have the French-language sources to consider as well as the English. Note also that the title French minesweeper Violette was created as a redirect in 2009 and so we already have that covered. Andrew D. (talk) 09:25, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in future elections they have not yet won — he has to win the seat and thereby hold the office to clear WP:NPOL, and to get an article anytime earlier than October 20 he will have to demonstrate that he was already notable enough for other reasons to get an article regardless of his candidacy. But this offers no such evidence at all: his stint on the board of directors of an organization is referenced to a special interest blog, not to real or notability-supporting media.

Of the sources used, three are election results, two are local news coverage about him announcing mayoral campaigns, another is local news coverage of his winning an election, one does not even mention Coutu by name, and one is a radio interview.

Original research. Lack of inline citations makes pretty much the entire thing unverifiable, and none of the references used discuss these rivalries as a collection of conference rivalries. The references used also only appear to be about school-specific rivalries, and only just about certain events (i.e. not within the scope of the premise of this article on the whole).

The author appears to have an undisclosed WP:COI and has generated several similar articles with related topics that also fail WP:GNG and are currently up for deletion discussion: Here: [7], here [8], here [9], and here [10].

  • Comment: I understand the nom was a sock. But, what about Wikipedia:Ignore all rules? If it's a clearly unworthy article, why should a sock nom stop editors from finding ways to delete it anyway? And what kind of rationale is that from @Dthomsen8: - 'This publisher provides the world with news about Nepal. Wikipedia editors can find information and news in English'? Both sentences are perfect candidates for what not to argue. What if the publisher provides the world with everything. Wikipedia only cares what the world has provided the subject with, in terms of coverage. I sure can't find information or news in English on this subject except from primary sources. So, unless Dthomsen8 actually cites sources, it's a delete for me.Usedtobecool TALK 22:00, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    To clear up any confusion, I believe the above comment is referring to content from the previous AFD nomination. I think we can safely disregard the previous botched nomination by a sock. Alsee (talk) 14:28, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Can't find any coverage. I understand this was potentially a big thing, but only if someone cared, which is another way of saying if it affected anybody in the world enough for anyone to care. The company is analogous to Alphabet Inc. except in this company's case, nobody noticed. For all the evidence we have, it might as well be a hoax perpetrated by the Annapurna brand of news media. Usedtobecool TALK 22:00, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Delete: on one hand I am inclined to presume sources and Notability exist for a company that runs a TV channel, multiple paper-newspapers, and radio. On the other hand my initial source search didn't turn up much. I found this company mentioned on three foreign language versions of Wikipedia, however as is often the case on small-language Wikipedias their article content was inferior to our own. The best I have to add the moment is a story nepalekhabar.com AP1 TV comes into operation in March 2017. The story only makes a passing mention of Annapurna Media Network (apparently also known as Nepal News Network International), confirming that it operates AP1 TV. I may-or-may-not return later to do more research and/or cast a !vote. Alsee (talk) 14:28, 5 June 2019 (UTC) Revised to delete, with little changed from my original comment. I'm satisfied that my presumption-of-sourcing was mistaken, being based on assumptions from my home country that clearly aren't accurate in the Nepali media market. I see a significant likelihood that this company could become notable, but that just means the current article is deleted as WP:TOOSOON. Alsee (talk) 21:54, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @Alsee:, this would be the case this guideline would have had in mind. Relevant quote: "A corporation is not notable merely because it owns notable subsidiaries." The Nepalekhabar might be an argument on the notability of AP1 television, that caters to millions of audiences, not a parent company controlling it from the background, as is apparent from the way the news is written. The papers and radios it owns may be notable too. But there is no sufficient evidence for notability of this parent company. This is what I was alluding to when I mentioned Alphabet. Run the Alphabet vs. Google simul and scale it down to the scale of a country like Nepal whose economy is smaller than many businesses. Then, it makes sense why the likes of this corporation might still fail notability guidelines. The Nepali wikipedia article (which should be expected to have more proof of notability than is accessible to English editors) only cites a job listing on a job broker site (anyone can look, it's in English). The creator and sole contributor to that page is up for adminship and so far only has support. Go figure that out. Usedtobecool TALK 16:44, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Usedtobecool I definitely hear what you're saying. I'm not arguing for inheritance, and the lack of identified sources is very close to a killer point.I just hesitate here because it strikes me as surprising that there wouldn't be more sourcing in this case. It's not a point I normally cite, but the standard for Keep is whether proper sourcing exists, not whether they're in the article or even whether we've found them. I think I just want to sleep on this first, and (maybe) make another attempt at a pain-in-the-butt source search. Or maybe I'm just hoping for more confidence that a native-speaker had done a solid search. Alsee (talk) 17:40, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated, "Internet guides.

See the Current events portal for examples."
"The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. This criterion includes reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations[4] except for media re-prints of press releases and advertising for the content or site[5] or trivial coverage, such as: a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of Internet addresses and site, newspaper articles that simply report the times at which such content is updated or made available, and content descriptions in directories or online stores.

  • Keep the article has 10 different references, none of which are just about the parent. In particular the atlantic article[11] is a detail and extensive look at the MathOverflow site.

  • Keep. The nomination statement seems to imply that a subject cannot be notable if it is related to something else notable, untrue and a completely bogus application of WP:NOTINHERITED. And Alexa Rank is almost completely irrelevant for Wikipedia notability. The article as nominated already contained multiple in-depth sources in published reliable sources (the Atlantic and Mercury News sources) as well as multiple additional sources that are self-published but still reliable by virtue of the "recognized expert" clause of WP:SPS (blog posts from famous mathematicians).

  • Weak keep The first of the three references in the list above is a primary source. The second is an interview with one of the site's creators, but that is evidence of the world (or at least the physics community) taking note, so it is a point in favor. The Alexa rank of a specialist website is pretty much an irrelevant datum. Likewise, whether the site itself counts as a "reliable source" is a topic for a different place and doesn't really bear upon the question of keeping this page one way or the other. (After all, we have plenty of articles about publications that we do not consider reliable sources.) There are just enough verifiable items of evidence that physicists use and recommend the site that we can justifiably have a page about it. I might not object to a merge, if a suitable target were proposed, but that is also a discussion for another day and place. XOR'easter (talk) 13:21, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sources cited above are problematic. As mentioned, the first two are directly from the creators of the WWW site themselves, one being an interview and the other being a newsletter announcement from those creators. The third simply does not provide any information about this subject at all, upon reading it. The sources cited in the article are equally problematic. Supporting citations for several claims are simply pointers to conversations amongst people on the site itself, from which readers are supposed to make original inferences; and the other sourcing in the article is not any better. Looking elsewhere, I cannot find any reliable independent sources from which to make an article properly. Uncle G (talk) 13:59, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NWEB due to lacking sustained independent WP:SIGCOV. All of the sources in the article and provided here in the AfD have serious deficiencies as outlined by Uncle G above. They just do not in any way get this article off the ground and over any notability guidelines. I would also note this article was created and fostered by a prolific WP:SPA. The likely COI here means this article should be swiftly uprooted from the encyclopedia so as not to reward corruption on Wikipedia. Newshunter12 (talk) 08:36, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. This subject fails WP:FOOTY's notability guidelines. Being named on the bench for a match, even the Champions League final, is not enough to confer notability. – PeeJay 16:24, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Winning the Champions League has brought him a fair amount of coverage centred around him, particularly in Ireland where he is being counted as one of the 12 Irishmen to win the Champions League but also in Britain's The Times, who are covering his quick dash to the Toulon tournament [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] He may never have played a professional match but let's be honest if he went into the amateur game or stopped playing tomorrow, there would be continuing interest in the case of a player who won the Champions League and then never played a professional match.

  • Keep: He was on the bench of the Champions League final therefore he got a medal and is considered a winner of this trophy. Seeing as it's the most prestigous trophy in club football, I think that he is notable enough to keep his article in Wiki. — Dudek1337 (talk) 19:54, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • There's nothing in WP:FOOTY's notability criteria about players who have only ever been on the bench. Besides, the only reason he was on the bench is because UEFA allowed teams to name 12 subs this year, and the only way he would have got on the pitch is if both Alisson and Mignolet were injured or sent off. This is a statistical quirk, nothing more. – PeeJay 20:36, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – I agree the article does not meet WP:NFOOTY, maybe an argument for WP:SPORTSPERSON, but I think it does meet WP:GNG, even if you discount coverage of Toulon from today (the sources IP 89.243 posted above) as all being WP:BLP1E, there are still sources from earlier that I think count as WP:SIGCOV. The WP:THREE are Irish Mirror 2018-11-05, Goal.com 2018-11-14 and Liverpool Echo 2019-03-12. Also I'm finding a ton of routine coverage, quite WP:SUSTAINED for someone so young IMO. Seems to clearly be among the echelon of young superstar players, despite a lack of senior appearance. For example, from 2015, 2016, 2018, 2018 again. Possibly draftify, but I think it's a GNG keep already. Levivich 23:35, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • That sort of coverage is fairly routine for any young player who makes a move to a big club. I have no doubt that he will someday play a competitive, first-team match for a professional club, at which point he will meet WP:FOOTY's notability guidelines, but if his career were to stop today, would you really consider him notable? – PeeJay 10:43, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      I come at this from a complicated place. One thing I strongly disagree with is the notion that a player will "become" notable when they have a senior professional game appearance (and thus meet NFOOTY). That implies automatic notability to any senior professional player with 1 appearance, and that's basically the crusade I'm fighting against. In other words, NFOOTY without GNG = not notable in my book. As far as routine, yes, call-ups, contract signings, changing teams, etc., is all routine and just about every player gets a write-up in the news surrounding those events. But I think the volume and detail for this player goes beyond what is typical. For example, the story about him singing karaoke with his teammates. That's not the kind of news coverage that every player gets–that demonstrates (to me) a higher-than-average level of interest in this player on behalf of the media. Also, there's a lot of speculation surrounding his contract moves, which is common... for a Liverpool superstar, not just for any player on any team (even in a first-tier fully professional league). To your question: if he quit today would I consider him notable? No... I mean, stepping back, no, I wouldn't give him a stand-alone page. My personal criteria for that would be much, much higher–like having played at least one full season before anyone gets a stand-alone page–but I'm also aware that my person criteria is much tighter than the community consensus here. So I !vote keep based on my interpretation of global consensus when it comes to notability for a footballer... it's a keep not by my personal standards so much as it's a keep by community standards. Plus, as a practical matter, he is young and still playing, so if we draftified it, it'd be moved out of draft space as soon as he took the pitch and got one game appearance, which is highly likely to happen imminently. Not that draftifying would be the worst choice here, but for this particular player (who I think is a bona-fide "star' and not just any player), draftifying seems like an unnecessary step. TLDR: he's not far over the notability line, but he's over the line with WP:THREE separate solid sources over a six-month period. Levivich 17:12, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep probably passes GNG; article needs substantial overhaul though. GiantSnowman 07:38, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep off a very quick single web search, easily passes WP:GNG, will almost certainly pass WP:NFOOTY soon and if he doesn't is at the point where that will convey additional WP:GNG-type articles. SportingFlyer T·C 06:40, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Consensus is that the held positions is not equivalent to a "statewide office" per NPOL. No evidence that GNG or any other notability criteria has been met, and therefore consensus is "delete." However, it should be noted that it is not at all a "clear attempt to abuse that provision".

  • I have reviewed the prior deleted article. Whilst it is very similar content, and I would normally delete it as a re-creation (by the same article creator, indeed), I am inclined to let the AFD process run. This is for two reasons. First, as someone else has mentioned, it is possibly useful for people to see all of the articles in this group as the discussion runs. Second, the prior discussion was about lack of any sources at all. This was in 2012 and the old article indeed cited almost nothing.

Melissa Murray Bailey is also up for deletion, and isn't on track to survive.

There is no reasons to delete article. Alexander Kabakov matches basic peoples notability criteria. A number of indepedent sources listed in article text, and it's not a big problem to add more. This person also have a big notability in IT industry as one of two founders of a Russian software company, prizing by IARPA at 2017, and publishing ambiguous and controversial face recognition technology implementation FindFace. In this role he got a big number of international press mentions - not only russian and american, but also french, chineze and other. Zircumflex2017 (talk) 20:32, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Intelligent computer network (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Almost 14 years and still no sources. Searching for sources, I can find a few uses of the phrase "intelligent computer network(s)" (e.g. this paper), but those uses I can find seem to have very little to do with the sense this article proposes. It seems to me that while a handful of reliable sources using this term can be found, their uses of the term don't have much in common with each other, and hence can't form a basis for an article. In other words, this isn't really a standard term in computer networking; various people will sometimes propose various ways in which networks could be made more intelligent, but those proposals have little in common with each other, and even less in common with the text of this article as it stands. (I would have PRODed but it was already PRODed back in 2006 and the deletion was contested then.) SJK (talk) 12:07, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Intelligent Network (to which intelligent network redirects) is a valid article and forked from this years ago. It also has (as this article doesn't) a clear scope, which is obviously distinct from any meaning for a computer network. There's no overlap, there's no edit history here worth preserving. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:17, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I also oppose merge or redirect. One reason is that "intelligent computer network" is not a recognised name for the "Intelligent Network" series of ITU standards. Also, given the uses of the phrase "intelligent computer network" out there are so varied, the odds are low that someone looking up that phrase would actually be looking for the topic of the "Intelligent Network" article. Given it isn't really a helpful redirect, and there is little of value in the history, I think delete is the better outcome here. SJK (talk) 01:35, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments The phrase "intelligent computer network" seems to hark back to 1990s thinking, and has rather been overtaken by the dumb network becoming standard. The first and standard comment I make is to the nominator: did you try Google Books? WP:BEFORE says you try Google Books. Then, a merge into context-aware network might work, in the sense that the page there (a) needs an explanation of the term, and (b) should be worked over anyway. Actually deleting old buzz-phrases isn't really the way to go. It is fairly normal, I'd say, that when the engineering approach moves on, the old language drops away. No need to be history is written by the victors about it, though, which isn't encyclopedic. Charles Matthews (talk) 03:50, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So, it looks like "context-aware network" is a term that was fashionable around 2005. It's really the same issue as for this article, with added plagiarism (of Wikipedia, seemingly) in Google Books sources. To put the argument in better shape, if all that really can be referenced is a dicdef, then there is a case for deletion. With pages 2 to 19 of [18] missing, though, it is a bit hard to say that looking at Google Books is the "thorough search" for reliable sources required at WP:DEL-REASON, #7. Charles Matthews (talk) 12:47, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Even when Google Books doesn't let you see a page, it will still let you search its text. A text search confirms there are only two mentions of "context-aware network" in that book – on page xi, the acronym "ACAN" is defined as "Ad Hoc Context Aware Network", and then pages 22-23 discusses ACAN.

  • Delete - At this point, I don't think there is any question that this article does not meet any sort of criteria for being kept, and Andy Dingley and SJK have very clearly explained why a Merge or Redirect would be inappropriate. Rorshacma (talk) 15:27, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • DELETE - It doesn't take long to find that there is very little coverage of the subject, and perhaps none that qualifies as significant. I don't see how a biography can be written based upon the available sources. So practically speaking, we get what we have, a fragment of a sentence from the relentlessly spare citation. As an aside, the year specified and linked to is incorrect — it's not the New Year's Eve Honours.
I do not value a sub-stub 'biography'. I did read the 'awards and honours' discussion. I cannot find, there or elsewhere, a statement wherein every CBE is guaranteed a biography. This is appropriate as there are too many people with this honour for it to be considered 'significant'. For comparative purposes, I took a look at the two higher ranks, of which there were typically no more than ten created each year combined (last few years excepted). In 2008, there were eight DBE/KBE created, seven of whom have pages and while none of them are expansive, it does seem that there was sufficient information available on each of them to write a biography. There were no GBE honours that year (FWIW, this is the level that I'd consider an SNG for). There should be sufficient material available to write the biography and I could not discover any with which this page might be fleshed out. Ultimately, the purpose here is to inform the reader and a husk of a biography fails at this so I must recommend 'delete'. ogenstein (talk) 05:05, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, there is considerable precedent for a CBE or above to be notable. Many AfDs have decided that this is the case. The CBE is an exceptionally notable award only awarded to those who have contributed substantially to the country, usually at a national level. In a country of over 60 million people, 100-200 awards every year is not a lot. The GBE is an exceptionally rare honour, so I'm not sure what your point is there. I should also point out that the usual award to men as an equivalent to the DBE is a Knight Bachelor, not a KBE. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:36, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A Nobel prize is exceptionally notable. For a given subject, only one (unless shared) is given out each year, so practically speaking, there is a limit to how many there are. The GBE has, from what I understand, a limit of 300 at any time. As such, wikipedia can have a list of GBE but there are too many CBE or DBE to do so. If there are too many to list, then it is a lot. As well, there are other countries with similar honours. Before long, 1/500 wikipedia pages would be covering these exceptionally notable honours, with 98% of them being stubs. If there isn't a meaningful defined restriction, as with the GBE, or with CC of the Order of Canada, then I think it is too large a net to cast.
To your aside, there are two names under KBE for 2008, and the OBE page classifies the two as the same (even if it discusses it in the text). If it is misleading, perhaps an update would help clarify. ogenstein (talk) 17:52, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The KBE and the DBE are at the same level, but the KBE is rarely awarded. Most men awarded a knighthood are appointed Knight Bachelor. Most women awarded the equivalent are appointed DBE. Just one of the peculiarities of the honours system. And no, there is no problem with creating stubs for people who are notable. We have generally made a cut-off point of CBE because far fewer of these are awarded than the lower OBE or MBE, where numbers of awards begin to mushroom, and they are generally only awarded for high achievement at a national level (whereas OBEs and MBEs may be awarded for achievement at a local level). To suggest that even a knighthood or damehood is not an indication of notability frankly shows a lack of understanding of the honours system. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:28, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, "Before long, 1/500 wikipedia pages would be covering these exceptionally notable honours, with 98% of them being stubs.", oh, you mean similar to the 1/500 (or more) stubbies dedicated to notable sportspeople?, this is irrelevant, if the person is notable, they are notable, whether their page is a one line stub or a 5 page GA. Coolabahapple (talk) 01:20, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - If they're actually notable but I don't believe that a one-line article is a good article. FWIW, I'd guess that sportstubs are beyond that level. I'd be up for changing both sportstubs and geostubs — even if it were by just folding them into a higher level page.

Relisting comment: For additional discussion on whether a CBE is sufficient to demonstrate notability on its own (per ANYBIO1) -
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nosebagbear (talk) 09:55, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (I'm the nominator) - Per WP:ANYBIO "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." (my underline added on the last part). Insisting that ANYBIO1 means she has to have an article doesn't actually align with the ANYBIO policy. As we've all found, the only reason we can identify for this article is her CBE award. That's just not enough to reach WP:GNG on it's own. Based on a misinterpretation of ANYBIO, or a precedent set by a prior AfD that is being used to overwrite an existing policy (a quasi-policy that is now being discussed as if it were unchangeable), we're ignoring WP:NOCOMMON, and are left with a two-sentence stub that isn't likely to ever expand. How does treating the CBE as the sole criteria for notability improve Wikipedia? Orville1974 (talk) 18:00, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It simply doesn't. The reader finds no new information after clicking her name at 2008_New_Year_Honours#Commanders_of_the_Order_of_the_British_Empire_(CBE). Blumpf (talk) 00:33, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - there are plenty of short, uninformative articles on Wikipedia where the individual has been included on the basis of a single criteria conferring 'automatic notability'. Sportspeople being among the most common. In this case, a CBE is awarded for having a 'prominent' role at a national level, or a 'leading' role at a local level, and/or for 'distinguished contribution' to any area. Those are literally criteria for notability, so why second-guess it? Hugsyrup (talk) 09:07, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - That's true about the sports articles and I'd support an effort to change that but WP:NSPORTS currently provides specific requirements for notability in each sport (e.g. play one game in NFL) which, even if it makes for too low a bar, is a clear bar and an objective one. Even the supporters of CBE make arbitrary distinctions between it and the lower honours. And they're basically the same distinction that those who oppose the CBE line make just applied at a different level. I would prefer if these reflexive articles were merged into a list of some sort (e.g. New York Yankees players of the 1920s, CBEs of 2008) and should sufficient material subsequently appear, they could diverge into a separate article. I'm always disappointed when I click through to an article and find it empty. ogenstein (talk) 09:53, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be undisclosed paid editing (in mainspace) in violation of our Terms of Use, but for reasons I can't understand that is not considered grounds for deletion.

So, is the company notable by our standards? It gets 62 hits on GNews, most of which appear to actually be about it; hits for "MSA Capital" on GBooks all appear to relate to Management Science America, to a mine in Mexico or to a consultancy in Santa Fe. I do not see anywhere any substantial in-depth coverage of this company in independent reliable sources.

Any reason why this does an individual article? It said the highest recorded temperature is in 2016, this seems we should have an yearly article on Indian summer heat? Viztor (talk) 09:15, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My rationale for adding the article: this 2019 heat wave had temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius; and 17 people have been reported dead already. I thought readers might want to learn the significance of the >50 degree temperatures in comparison to the record high.Merlinsorca 18:23, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - 17 dead certainly seems notable. There is WP:SIGCOV for the subject of the article in the references provided. We'll have to wait to see whether the impact is WP:LASTING. The article was probably written too soon. FOARP (talk) 22:01, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. 17 deaths is not especially high in terms of Indian heat waves. This is surprising given the high temperature. This may end up being notable, but the article was created WP:TOOSOON. According to our articles, 2015 Indian heat wave had 2,500 deaths, 2002 India heat wave, 1,030, 2016 Indian heat wave, 1,600. This newspaper reports 2,500 dead in 1998 and mentions that 1956 had an even higher temperature. This newspaper reports 350 deaths in 1995 while the heat wave was still ongoing. SpinningSpark 23:50, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Although, as I said above, this was probably created TOOSOON, the unusually high temperature being reached suggests this is going to be a significant event. The 1998 heatwave was a degree or two lower but still killed thousands. Also, the nom seems to have been made on the premise that we don't have articles on India summer heat, which is demonstrably false. SpinningSpark 06:48, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per keepers. Johnbod (talk) 15:02, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Just because a weather event happens regularly doesn't mean it lacks notability. When it has a massive effect even weather events that happen multiple times a year (e.g. hurricanes) are notable. I would have loved to see this be created after a bit more time, TOOSOON is a real concern, but between having and not having this article we should have it - the sourcing is present to suggest it passes GNG and will have lasting notability beyond just this year. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:50, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Things that happen regularly: sporting competitions, elections, television programs . . . need I go on? Simple regularity doesn't make something not notable. Lack of significant coverage and lasting impact makes an event non-notable. FOARP (talk) 11:11, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As others have mentioned, you could say the same thing about hurricanes. We write multiple articles about those per year, even for the ones that cause 0 or minimal fatalities and even if the information in them is similar. See Tropical Storm Cindy (2017) and Tropical Storm Emily (2017). This heat wave has at least 28 dead since May 31, and it's still going on. Plus, each heat wave will have a different background or "meteorological history", different areas affected, different temperatures for each area, different number of fatalities and damage, and a government response or preparation specific to the situation. There's already plenty of information out there to differentiate this one, I think we just haven't given it enough research or focus. Merlinsorca 13:11, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Merlinsorca:This should not be compared like that. When a huge hurricane came "with a name", which has an international standard, you know for sure it is notable. However, this is not the case for heat wave, which is unnamed and has no international standard, and in most cases rather normal weather phenomenon, this is summer, and only notable in extreme cases. It is impossible to assert importance based all there is when it has only began, and have not reached its peak, We can't WP:CRYSTAL know if it is important. I will reserve my judgement for later months.Viztor (talk) 21:41, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The idea that we can only cover things that have "names" strike me as incorrect. We have tornado related coverage and those don't have names. Bigger picture, I agree I would have preferred to see the article wait to be created but it was created and the heatwave continues. The fact that we have ongoing high quality RS from around the world covering it suggesting that it is indeed out of the ordinary. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:02, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Viztor: @Barkeep49: Also, after reading up on this subject, I don't believe the article was created too soon. The heat wave has been going on since May and had already killed dozens of people. As of today there has been: near record high >50 degree temperatures; water poured on melting streets; additional deaths/injures in fights due to water shortages; police being deployed. All of which has been amply covered in reliable sources. Merlinsorca 00:56, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If I really thought it was TOOSOON I'd have voted something like draftify or delete. My overall assessment is in-line with you that this is a notable event. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 00:58, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete - Just WP:ONEEVENT and nothing more. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 07:20, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to 2013 Moore tornado - WP:ONEEVENT is not, primarily, a delete rationale. Instead the whole point of WP:ONEEVENT is that you should instead either rename the article to the event or merge it into an appropriate target article about the event because the article is basically about the event, not the person. In this case the clear target for merging is 2013 Moore tornado which covers the tornado that destroyed Garcia's house. Not all the content should be merged as some of it obviously isn't encyclopedic, but the basic story of Garcia does appear to have received significant coverage in reliable sources (CBS, The Oklahoman). FOARP (talk) 22:15, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment - no point to merge. Thousands of houses destroy in tornadoes incident just like soldiers dies in war. No every soldier has an article in Wikipedia so it the destroyed house in a tornado. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 00:42, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But we still have articles about servicemen who died in wars who were notable (sure, WP:WAX). The grounds used here are WP:ONEEVENT, not failure to reach WP:GNG which was not alleged. At any rate, even if WP:BASIC isn't met that doesn't matter if we're merging since the requirement for including something in an article is not that it should be worthy of a stand-alone article.
PS - this nom is a case-study of the problems with using WP:ONEEVENT as a delete rationale. It just was never intended to be used this way. It was always concerned primarily with the article title. FOARP (talk) 09:13, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment To compare fallen soldiers who protect and service their countries, who have articles in Wikipedia, and to add a content of a public individual whose house got destroyed from natural event is far from reasonable nor right to justify your "merge" debate. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:24, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You invoked the comparison. I was merely pointing out that, yes, we do have articles about “soldiers [killed] in war” as well as about the wars in which they died. FOARP (talk) 16:31, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*CommentThose fallen soldiers do have articles / content added in Wikipedia pass the notability do have "historical impact" in wars / countries relations and WP:NOTTEMPORARY as of houses destroyed or cars damaged by storms. That is what I meant by "far from reasonable nor right to justify your merge debate". CASSIOPEIA(talk) 01:23, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But again, no-one is arguing that this article necessarily has stand-alone notability. It doesn't need to have stand-alone notability to be merged into another article. And if you meant WP:NOTTEMPORARY (PS - I think you mean WP:SUSTAINED), well, I do note that the news media were still reporting on her story even six months after the tornado (1 2 3) and that she was discussed in a book published in 2014 and 2015. TL;DR - she was the subject of multiple years of WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS. FOARP (talk) 05:55, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment Just a many boxer, mma fighter, basketball players suffered injuries such as broken their obiter in 8 pieces, broken limps, tender completely tearing off from their bones and those individuals do have a page in Wikipedia and the info is well sources and do continued talk about in media due to such injury prevent them from their next title defenses or final playoff, it does not mean it it is included in the page content, let a alone a non notable individual lost their home in a storm/tornado which it happens thousand of time for the last decade just in US alone which play little significant as whole in the article. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 08:11, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. When the only source that's not just standard references for background material is a journal on Beall's list, you know it's worse than merely non-notable research. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:48, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I'm willing to reconsider if anyone can show that this work receives attention by professionals in the field, however as a programmer I am pretty sure that is not going to happen. If I understood the paper correctly, this algorithm is already known as Odd–even sort. I also believe there is a severe error in the paper. An algorithm with (n-1)*(n/2) performance is not O(NlogN), it is O(N^2). Our article on Big O notation explains that. For large list sizes any O(N^2) algorithm will have catastrophically slow runtime on any standard computer. On massively parallel hardware it can have a runtime of N, but this is already standard knowledge in the field of parallel-sorting algorithms. Alsee (talk) 15:23, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Our Wikipedia:no original research policy is designed to prohibit things that have not yet escaped their inventors/creators and become acknowledged by the rest of the world as a part of the general corpus of human knowledge. In conjunction with our requirement for Wikipedia:reliable sources, this is intended to prevent us accepting things merely upon the say-so of people with no evidence of peer review and fact checking by people with established known reputations for accuracy.

    Alsee does not provide a rationale for deletion, but shows the rationale for these policies. This paper has clearly not been peer reviewed by a reputable journal. Any half-way decent peer review would have caught and rejected a claim to have just invented the odd-even sort in 2014. Moreover, this is one of the journals that the world has come to consider to have a bad reputation.

    So this subject is not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia because the only source is one person (I have my doubts about the claimed co-authors.) with no established reputation for accuracy publishing via a route where no peer review took place, an unreliable source; and no-one else acknowledging this by dint of publishing more themselves, a lack of multiple reliable sources independent of the subject.

    (See Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Oregon State University/Wikipedia - Universally Shared, Edited by Whom (Spring) for why I have laid this out in detail. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Journals cited by Wikipedia/Questionable5 and User:Uncle G/On sources and content.)

As perWP:GNG. The paper deceptively cites a zillion pages which are all articles authored by the subject himself and not the articles discussing the subject so as to establish notability. The page was created by User:Dansong22 which is signed(?) "ArunBudhathoki" making this a suspected autobiography by a user with undisclosed COI (I can't find the declaration). The article is promotional. There are two major contributors to the page, the other being User:Ozar77 who also created related pages Kathmandu Tribune and Nepal Tribune Media (which is currently facing an AfD discussion itself.) I suspect User:Ozar77 is also a sockpuppet or a paid editor (based on a brief perusal of their talk page: potentially lucrative pages that the user has created and discussions that it has elicited and actions taken on them) of the same person Arun Budhathoki. Their talk page is filled with posts suspecting COI, also. Please advise if there's sufficient evidence to suspect that, and if there is, what further actions can be taken.

    If you think my English can pass off as that of a "feature editor" of one of the national newspapers of the country, I can see how foreigners would have trouble finding these papers credible. Thanks for the compliment though. Usedtobecool TALK 10:30, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    It's funny that you should deny sockpuppeting in exactly the thread where you've been replying to a conversation as two different users. Even when you don't sign your comment, it gets signed by a bot, and here, it is for all to see Ozar77 replying to a conversation with IP 27.34.68.251. Just for your peace of mind though, these articles were brought to my attention by Alsee and my contributions' history will attest to that. Usedtobecool TALK 10:53, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This article is at the center of several open AFD's (Nepal Tribune Media (AfD discussion), Kathmandu Tribune (AfD discussion), The Applicant (AfD discussion) and a redirect placed on Nepali Tribune. There is clear evidence of promotional COI. Of the set of articles, this one comes the closest to a credible claim as Notable. Arun Budhathoki appears to be a reasonably successful reporter, who has done work for a variety of Notable publications. However the profession of reporter does not in itself satisfy our Notability criteria. Our standard for Notability is not whether someone writes, it is whether they are written about by others in Reliable Sources. Arun Budhathoki has also published poetry and fiction, however anyone can buy an ISBN for a few dollars and publish anything. Again, the standard for notability is whether others have written about Budhathoki or written about his work. Reviewing all of the REFs in the article may seem daunting (see WP:BOMBARDMENT), however it is immediately obvious that most of them are written by Budhathoki, and they can quickly be skipped when checking for Notability. Of the potentially Reliable Sources not written by Budhathoki, the best one appears to be thehimalayantimes/Himalayan News Service discussing his poetry. However thehimalayantimes/Himalayan News Service runs blatant promotional press releases, severely undermining any weight it would have as a source for objective independent critical note.

    • Opinion:I trust THT to generally be as accurate as they can in their reporting. Nothing other than news and editorial from Nepali news sources (even the most reputed ones) can be trusted, especially not on online media. However, this was reported as news. It is possible they were paid to count this event as news. Or someone high up might have owed someone favour. It's also as likely that THT needed content to fill the space. However, none of those hypotheses are necessary. The event was reported as news and THT abides by the principles. All the praises are quotes from another attending the event. other things are quote by the primary source. The reporting part was on that event having occurred and the book having been published by Cyberwit. If its a slow news day, Nepali media will cover any event. But, I'd count this one as a news event as covered by THT; without betting significant equity on the proposition that there is no way THT didn't have COI in publishing this one. Either way, all news services have some COI, arguably, on everything they publish. So, we can't make such judgements ourselves. Usedtobecool TALK 18:29, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep Clearly passes WP:BASIC & WP:AUTHOR , i don't see any reason for this article to be nominated for AfD, I also find that he have enough more content with which the article can be edited and expanded elaborately since his recent Coverage was published and was trending on The Guardian Shringhringshring📞 16:49, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Shringhringshring as I commented above, of the related set of articles I think this comes the closest to being Notable. I'm interested in your comment about coverage, and that the article can be expanded. I might reverse my !vote if you can point me to coverage about Budhathoki. If you are merely referring to coverage-of-an-unrelated-topic which was written by Budhathoki, then that is unhelpful. The profession of reporter does not inherently satisfy our Notability guideline. A reporter becomes Notable when the world takes Note of them, when independent authors write significant content about him and his work. Then we summarize what they say about the subject.

  • Delete - No. This individual does not meet WP:BIO, WP:GNG, WP:NAUTHOR, or WP:JOURNALIST. I tried finding enough to meet any of the categories with no success. Publishing books, by itself, is not enough. Having a few republished articles is not enough. No one is providing WP:SIGCOV of this individual in a WP:RS. I've just added Nepal News Network International (AfD discussion) to the list of ongoing AfD discussions. Orville1974 (talk) 17:09, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete being a published journalist in itself does not satisfy WP:BIO. I don't see any articles "about" the subject, just articles written by him. OhNoitsJamie Talk 01:38, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - articles written by the subject don't count as reliable sources to establish this subject's notability. One can see that those are the vast majority in this article. starship.paint (talk) 13:41, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • DELETE - A google search did not produce any instances of significant coverage. A news search only provided articles written by the subject, which doesn't count towards notability or every reporter would become notable on their first day. I don't see that subject meets Basic or Author, per above. ogenstein (talk) 03:32, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:NCORP, provided sources are PR, blog posts and Forbes contributors (i.e. blog posts again). The one ok source is the coverage in Respect Magazine, but even that is mostly just an interview with the founders. I couldn't find anything better online. I'm not really sure why there's two citations about TikTakTo, as it does not appear to be related to the subject. I had previously filed G11, which I still think was justified based on the PR nature of virtually all of the sources cited, but it was declined. signed, Rosguill talk 02:31, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gold-collar worker (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Wikipedia is not a dictionary WP:NOT#DICTIONARY and outside of the book that coined this term it appears it has not received significant coverage or usage. WP:SIGCOV I can find a few examples of usage but most seem more intended to introduce the term than use it generally. ex. Havard Business Review This article seems to more be promotional of this as jargon in that sense than encyclopedic. There are some conflicting definitions when you search "Gold collars are found in specialized fields of law and medicine – a reference, perhaps, to the high salaries these professions command." [20] "a neologism which has been used to describe either young, low-wage workers who invest in conspicuous luxury, or highly skilled knowledge workers, traditionally classified as white collar, but who have recently become essential enough to business operations as to warrant a new classification." see self.gutenberg.org/articles/Gold-collar_worker "A gold-collar worker is a highly skilled multidisciplinarian who combines the mind of a white-collar worker with the hands of a blue-collar employee. Armed with a solid grounding in mathematics and science (physics, chemistry, and biology), these “gold-collar” workers—so named for their contributions to their companies and to the economy, as well as for their personal earning ability—apply that knowledge to technology." [21] A page on Wikipedia copying the definition word for word from the Havard Business Review article linked above. Phil (talk) 00:11, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. One tin-collar WP:NEOLOGISM that no one is rushing to spread. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:51, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This term is not in particularly common use, and when it is used it doesn't necessarily carry the meaning described here. For example, this article describes Carlos Ghosn, former chairman of Nissan, as "typical of the ‘gold-collar workers’ – the cadre of top bosses who have multi-million pound pay packages, couture-clad second wives and private jets." Yet this article says that "Gold-collar workers need the mind of a white-collar worker but the hands of a blue-collar one .... Think of the maintenance technician who repairs aircraft systems at Southwest Airlines; the manufacturing technician at Intel; and the medical technologist who operates laboratory equipment and analyzes test results at Memorial Hermann Cancer Center." Two quite different uses, but neither of them matches the use in this article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:15, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
