Geophysical Planet Definition

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

Page was de-PRODed.

This page serves no clear purpose that is not already covered in Planet. Planet covers what a planet is and there is no need for an entire page discussing a specific subset of the definition of what a planet is. This may fit into WP:A10, but since I already PRODed it, I figured I would take it here. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 19:55, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This page serves the same purpose as the IAU Planet Planet Definition wikipedia page. Also, this page DOES serve a purpose in that it clearly articulates the definition that many planetary scientists use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nasaman58 (talk • contribs) 20:13, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Astronomy-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 20:21, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move or Merge This page should either be at geophysical planet or should have all of its information presented on planet. Nasaman58's argument leads me to believe that this page is either a POV fork from planet (possibly because he thought planet was not giving due weight to the geophysical definition) or simply improperly named. I say "improperly named" because Geophysical Planet Definition is about planets as defined by planetary scientists, not about the process of defining planets by geophysics. Either way, this article does not really fit the criteria for deletion since there are 6 references (of varying quality) in the article that could potentially be merged into planet. Rockphed (talk) 12:39, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The IAU definition of planet has its own page so the geophysical definition should also have its own page. Fdfexoex (talk) 05:21, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this article. I strongly disagree with the statement that "This page serves no purpose that is not already covered in Planet." There is disagreement in the planetary science and astronomy communities about the definition of a planet. The IAU voted in 2006 for a particular definition but the vote was split and geoscientists have continued to argue for a different definition than the one the IAU voted for. It is important for readers of Wikipedia to have information about this alternative definition. Planetary scientists have continued using this geophysical definition at odds with the IAU definition. It is not a fringe definition but is actually mainstream among a large segment of the planetary science community and is the historic definition that has existed since Galileo. The modern uses of this geophysical definition are in published papers in science journals. There was a recent paper arguing that the IAU definition was based upon arguments that are now shown to be historically incorrect in the scientific literature (Metzger, Philip T., Mark V. Sykes, Alan Stern, and Kirby Runyon. "The reclassification of asteroids from planets to non-planets." Icarus 319 (2019): 21-32.). A recent debate occurred between a leading planetary scientist and the astronomer who was president of the IAU leading up to its vote, and the IAU past president stated that planetary scientists could developed other definitions than the one the IAU created (https://vimeo.com/333420664). This is that alternative definition, but it is not new because it is the prevailing definition that existed historically and is still the only once consistent with scientific usage among geoscientists. Therefore it is important for readers of Wikipedia to know about it. There is also, already, a Wikipedia article on the IAU definition of planet which is separate from the article on Planet, and therefore it is important for readers of Wikipedia to have access to information about the definition of Planet that planetary scientists are using and debating about in contrast to this IAU definition. This is especially important since the geophysical definition is the historic definition that has been used since Galileo. Galileo effectively replaced the previous dynamical definition that existed since pre-scientific times. The discussions about definitions is a taxonomical matter that is distinct from the content of the Planet article, because that article is dealing with planets themselves as objects, not with taxonomy. Taxonomy of planets is a different thing than planets themselves. This is exactly why the IAU definition of planet article exists in addition to the Planet article, because the definition is a taxonomical question and that is a thing distinct from the planets themselves. However, including just the IAU definition in this taxonomical information is incomplete because it leaves out the historic and still prominent geophysical definition as a taxonomical system, and this omission does not serve the readers of Wikipedia.Sanddune777 (talk) 04:29, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do not merge into Definition of planet unless IAU definition of planet is also merged. It is notable because there are recent news articles and scientific papers on it. Instead, this article should be kept separate and expanded because there is a large amount of material that should be added including the wealth of references both historic and recent. I will begin adding this material immediately, so please hold judgement until you see this material. A paragraph should be added to Definition of planet with a link to this as the main article. This is exactly how IAU definition of planet was handled, as a separate article with a paragraph in Definition of planet and a link back to the main article. Including all the new material in Definition of planet would overwhelm it, exactly as including all the material from IAU definition of planet would have overwhelmed it.Sanddune777 (talk) 04:29, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Geophysical Planet Definition page should not be deleted, as it does NOT serve the same function as the IAU planet definition page. The IAU planet definition page presents just one view of an ongoing debate regarding definition of the word planet. The IAU planet definition was adopted by just four percent of its members, most of whom are not planetary scientists, and was rejected by an equal number of planetary scientists in a formal petition. Unfortunately, the mainstream media reported only the IAU decision and completely ignored the strong scientific opposition to it in the planetary science community. This one-sided reporting is a genuine disservice to the public. The reality is there is no consensus among the broader scientific community as to how to define the term planet, and many planetary scientists rightfully object to the notion of science being done by decree of "authority."

Many planetary scientists see the IAU definition as flawed for numerous reasons, primarily the fact that it gives primacy to an object's location over its intrinsic properties. The New Horizons mission found active geological and atmospheric planetary processes on Pluto that are very similar to those that occur on Earth and Mars. Yet the IAU definition ignores this data and defines Pluto and other dwarf planets solely by their location. It also controversially claims dwarf planets are not planets at all, which runs contrary to the intent of the scientist who initially coined the term, Alan Stern, and is not borne out by the New Horizons findings. Planetary scientists who prefer the geophysical planet definition hold that dwarf planets are a subclass of planets, just as dwarf stars are a subclass of stars, and dwarf galaxies are a subclass of galaxies.

Keeping this page rather than folding it into a general planet definition page will provide awareness to readers that there is more than one legitimate, scientific planet definition in use by scientists today. It is an important step toward providing fair and balanced coverage of this ongoing debate.Princesslaurel (talk) 17:51, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note - I will admit that despite preliminary research, did not realize that there are apparently 'dueling' definitions, to a certain extent, or that there was an article for the IAU definition. I really thought this was just definition page. Based upon what I have been told, the page should be kept and moved to Geophysical planet definition and otherwise I have no prejudice against keeping this article. I'm essentially withdrawing but since there is discussion I'll let someone uninvolved close. Plus, I always break things when I close AfDs.

WP:FRINGE. Basically someone is campaigning. Admittedly, there are many people unhappy about the IAU (change of) definition, but the "geophysical" one is worse (how many planets, did you say?). You were right to question the article and I hope that if it stays that it is appropriately caveated and not presented as some sort of equally-valid-alternative to the eight-planet version. Lithopsian (talk) 14:49, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing wrong with having many objects qualifying as planets just as there is nothing wrong with having many objects that are stars (100s of billions) or galaxies (also 100s of billions). Because professional planetary scientists use this definition, it is more valid than the IAU definition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:146:300:1A80:91A6:2719:59EC:2325 (talk) 13:10, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Which is why I suggested merging this article into a section of planet (and rewriting planet to be less focused on the IAU definition). Having looked at IAU planet definition, it is more about the controversy and process by which the IAU arrived at a definition for planets than about planets as defined by the IAU. We could possibly build a similar article to the one on the IAU definition, but I don't think that the geophysicists have had nearly as much controversy as the astronomers. Rockphed (talk) 15:19, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Princesslaurel and WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Discussions of merging and/or balanced coverage should not be had here at AFD but on the article's talk page.4meter4 (talk) 03:26, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move or Merge While many planetary scientists do use this definition, the article is simply a talking point of Alan Stern's inability to let go of his ego and grasp that his mission did not go to a planet by IAU's 2006 definition. He has been battling the definition ever since, trying various propaganda. The information in this article is useful in that it is a definition geophysicists use when studying planets (including calling moons planets, as they are identical in many cases; e.g.some Jovian and Saturnian moons are larger than Mercury), but can be instead added to the articles planet and Clearing_the_neighbourhood. 73.15.7.104 (talk) 15:23, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There's no doubt that this article needs work - the plot summary is far too long, and there's very little else - but a lack of sources in the article isn't a valid reason for deletion, the sources need not to exist. A quick check on Google found, in addition to the usual IMDB/Rotten Tomato-type UGC coverage, this and this and this, all reviews of decent length by named staff reviewers at significant publications; I also came across a mention here, in what appears to be a scholarly work about Irish cinema. I think this film passes WP:NFILM quite easily; the article needs fixing, not deleting. GirthSummit _(blether) 18:02, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The article seems to indicate they did more than the nominator is claiming, but the history of the group is entirely unreferenced. I don't speak Japanese, so I hesitate to comment on this topic as any source for this group are most likely in that langauge. Anyone know any Japanese speakers that we can ping?4meter4 (talk) 19:16, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4: I can read Japanese and I did a run-through of the article. Additional info I can find is that Aa! changed members in 2011 (seen in the music producer's blog post) and released a non-single song for an album that charted at #37 on Oricon (seen here). Other than that they do not have group activities together and mostly perform as subgroups in concerts only. lullabying (talk) 21:59, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4: The music producer's blog post is a primary source though, and he's closely affiliated with the group, part of their management, and founded them. Would it still count as WP:SIGCOV? Currently the only "secondary" source that qualifies is Oricon and I'm not sure if their non-album song meets WP:NMUSIC. lullabying (talk) 22:42, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination, because this is a case where two different AFC reviewers evaluated the exact same sources differently. The sources here are entirely glancing namechecks of the subject's existence in coverage about other people, and none of them are substantively about him for the purposes of establishing that he would pass WP:NACTOR -- so on those grounds, the first reviewer rejected it in July. But then the creator just immediately resubmitted it to the approval queue without adding even one new source that wasn't in the article the first time, and the second reviewer approved it earlier today. As always, the notability test for an actor is not just the ability to verify that he existed because he gets glancingly namechecked a few times in coverage of other things -- it requires some evidence of reliable source coverage about him, and I agree with the first reviewer that the sources here aren't actually clearing that bar. But that's actually secondary to the issue that the second reviewer approved this even though there hadn't been a single new source added since the initial rejection, so this needs to be looked at by a much wider set of eyes regardless of whether it's kept or deleted.

Keep very notable performer in theater and film. His work survives. I find this nomination strange and the coverage of him be quite substantial. Not all of the sources noted are easily available online but that doesn't make them illegitimate. Per an editing restriction I won't be able to respond to any follow up inquiries here but am happy to discuss further on my talk page. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:52, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Every actor who's ever been in film or television at all can always say that "their work survives" — but the fact that the work exists is not a notability freebie in and of itself. There's also no rule that our sources have to be online – you are allowed to cite print-only coverage, like books or newspaper/magazine coverage that predates the googlability era — but we don't keep an article just because you say that other coverage exists that you haven't cited, because anybody can always say that about anything even if they're lying. Even outright hoaxes wouldn't be deletable anymore if all you had to do is say that other sources exist that aren't locatable online and didn't actually have to prove that you were telling the truth. So if you want print-only coverage to tip the scales, you do have to show some evidence of that rather than just asserting it. Bearcat (talk) 16:20, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG in my opinion based on the sources in the article. I too find this a strange nomination.

Keep Per WP:NEXIST, "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article." Whether the sources currently in the article are sufficient to show significant coverage, or that he had multiple significant roles in multiple notable productions, I have not yet checked. What I do see immediately is that there is only one source from before 1990, and yet this person's career spanned c. 1875-1910. There are 949 results on Newspapers.com for "Gilbert Sarony" (and a few for "Gilbert Saroni"). Some are show listings, but there are also reviews. He also toured to Australia, England and France, and there is definitely coverage in digitised Australian and English newspapers and periodicals of that era.

It is my understanding that being a local councilor is not, by itself, sufficient to warrant an article. Until very recently, there seems to be no substantial coverage of him, beyond a standard brief profile related to an election. There's obviously a bunch of recent coverage, but this is more of a single local news story.

Keep. As per Earl Andrew, a city councillor of a major city meets notability requirements. Jiffles1 (talk) 21:21, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article does need improvement, but city councillors in global cities are accepted as being inherently more notable than usual for most city councillors because of their city's more globalized level of importance, and consensus has always accepted Ottawa as one of the cities that practice applies to. (See also: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington DC, London, etc.) If you'd like to shoot for a new consensus that Ottawa should be removed from that list, then you're certainly allowed to try — there have been other cities where we used to accept city councillors as notable, and then withdrew that status later on — but you would need to do that by proposing a centralized discussion on a Wikipedia discussion board about whether Ottawa should retain its "city councillors are notable" status, not by proposing that one city councillor be treated differently than others while the existing consensus otherwise still stands. And until such time as a new consensus is established to deprecate Ottawa's status as a "city councillors are notable" city, the existing consensus still applies in the interim.

The Workmans Club

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

Relatively small music venue (300 capacity/standing) and late-bar which doesn't appear to meet WP:ORGDEPTH or WP:GNG. Within the article itself, the main claims to notability seem to be that it is next-door to U2's hotel, once hosted a DJ-set by Cillian Murphy, has been used for gigs by a number of notable bands, and was previously the home of a long-standing workman's club. All of which is "notability by association". Problematic under WP:INHERITORG. Outside of the article itself, the potential claims to notability that I can find do not stack up. In terms of WP:SIGCOV, I can only find listicles of this usual variety, loosely related articles like this, or "gig reviews" like this. In each case, the venue is not the primary subject of the coverage. I'm just not seeing enough coverage to support a notability claim. Guliolopez (talk) 14:50, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks. I had found the same sources as part of WP:BEFORE. In my view the awards piece didn't/doesn't contribute to notability. As the very definition of a trivial mention. (Where the bar is not the primary topic. And its name simply appears alongside the names of 25 other bars.) The Conde Nast piece is a 400 word review. Perhaps I'm overly harsh on these things, but I wouldn't typically expect reviews in Lonely Planet, Conde Nast, TripAdvisor, Nat Geo Traveler and similar review sites as being especially contributory to notability. (Not every bar or hotel, reviewed by such outlets, is worthy of its own article.) Would the Conde Nast article be useful as a source to support text in the article? Yes. Likely. Would the Conde Nast article be useful in confirming the notability of the subject? No. Not on its own anyway... Guliolopez (talk) 14:49, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Easily meets GNG. SpinningSpark 22:31, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Some of the arguments for delete being put forward here are baffling;

The idea that because this is a payment system, and is always discussed as a payment system, it should therefore be merged to payment system really does not hold any water. Everything is a part of something else. If we followed that principle we would merge all articles to Big Bang which would then read something like "there was a Big Bang which eventually led to things like the Roman Empire, uranium, and chickens."
Interestingly, the payment system that net settlement is invariably compared to is real-time gross settlement. That article shows what this one could become with a bit of work.
The criticism "not even wrong" implies that it can't be falsifiable, which is clearly false, and in any case, is not a valid deletion rationale. We have plenty of articles on things that are not falsifiable – Occam's razor for instance.
"obscure, ordinary glossary term". Andrew has already adequately answered the glossary part of that (this article is not just a definition of a term). "Obscure" and "ordinary" are not policy-based reasons for deletion, and I'm pretty sure that the term is far from obscure in banking circles. In any case, Wikipedia is not just for articles on stuff everybody already knows.

SpinningSpark 23:00, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This seems like a reasonable stub, except for the fact that the in-article sourcing sucks, but SpinningSpark has found some good sources. Policy only requires that sources exist, not that they actually be in the article; I hope, however, that Spark actually does put in the effort to improve the article based on the research he's done. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:13, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Utah (character)

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

Not notable enough for an article and reads like a fan page on wikia.

This character was an original creation for the 1991 film so not spanning multiple media, and the character was completely remade with a different backstory for the 2015 remake, so there's not even consistent characterization between the two, just the name and the role of protagonist in the film called Point Break.

The article is not written to a Wikipedia standard and half of it is just the plot of the 1991 film. The rest of the content, while cited, are just as much about the pop culture legacy of the 1991 film (or Reeves himself) than they are about the character and all of this content could just as easily be expected to be found on those two pages.

Move back to Draft (maybe even move on top of Johhy Utah, and then move to Draftspace--(character) is an unnecessary disambiguation at this point. I'm curious as to why the redirect wasn't just converted...) Anyway, on top of the move, the aformentioned redirect would be good in the meantime with the Rcat with possibilities used to point to the Draft. This article is actually less than a month old, so I'm inclined to give time for proper adjustments in the draftspace, if they can be made... Although that was already done once here. Is there a way to lock it from Moves until a review is done?

Keep Found The Washington Post review at [4], thought it took me ages to find with narrowed search. It and the Publisher Weekly one are non-trivial, so the subject meets WP:NBOOK.

The result was redirect to Meher Baba. Looking at the sources, none of them count for notability. (non-admin closure) ミラ P 16:35, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Meherazad

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

WP:GEOLAND (1), (3) and (4) does not apply, for a starter. (2) is the one to look at, which basically asks us to go by WP:GNG. We can also go by WP:GEOFEAT (2) which says the same stuff.

Of the current sources, the first one is a self-published book, which was later republished by a followers'-trustee of Meher Baba. Not a RS. The second one is yet another booklet published by a foreign wing of a followers'-trustee of Meher Baba. Not a RS. The third one is a glossary from a website of the trustee. Not a RS. (Somehow, the de-prod-er felt all of these to be reliable sources, which lend to the notability of the subject.*Sigh*)

Doing a news-search in English leads to about 5 hits, all of which are trivial mentions except this; regrettably AsianTribune has a highly chequered history including being successfully sued for partisan journalism in lieu of money. No book, produced out of a independent and respected publication house, has covered it any significantly either.

Doing a Google search as to the Hindi/Marathi word:- मेहेराझाद returns nothing significant and dispels the potential existence of good sources in vernacular media.

National Digital Library of India (which's a great tool to exploit againt systemic bias) has no hit, either. Archive.org has a lone hit from an in-house journal, devoted to Meher Baba!

Thus, it may be concluded with enough rigor, that the subject comfortable fails WP:GNG and hence, ought be deleted. It may be (then) redirected to Meher Baba, at editorial discretion. ∯WBG^converse 11:15, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Likely failing notability. Lacking independent sources to verify notability. Most coverage appears to be primary, such as profiles published by institutions he is connected with (e.g. university or NGO profiles), contributor profiles for various newspapers or blogs. The Books appear to be publications by his place of work (such as World Bank reviews) where he was a contributing author for section(s) as part of his role. Divisional organisational leadership roles are not inherently notable. There is a lack of coverage about Thomas.

The professor in this category doesn't fit the requirements for Wikipedia's professor test. At best, the person has 2000 citations and has nominal achievements that other professors in the community has had in the past (See: Dr. Chung K Law, Dr. Jay Gore, Dr. Gerry Faeth, DMatthias Ihme, Dr. Kenneth Yu (from the same school has more citations).

Weak keep. Being "Keystone Professor" is not an endowed professorship of the type that passes WP:PROF#C5; it is merely a perk given to those faculty willing to teach intro courses [6]. But I think his citation record, with three papers into the triple digits on Google Scholar [7], is above threshold for #C1. The nomination argument is based on WP:WAX and is not good; we should be evaluating the subject on his own merits, not arguing on the basis of missing articles for more-notable people. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:25, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Fails WP:PROF#C1.I agree with user David Eppstein on the fact that the absence of other professors' wiki pages isn't a valid reason to remove this one. However, I disagree with the threshold for WP:PROF#C1 as mentioned by User David Eppstien. This metric of only over 100 citations, as mentioned by you, is satisfied by a myriad number of professors in the field of combustion, esp. fire protection. The significance of the highly cited work lies in the co-author GM Faeth, whose articles are sought after. Combining the fact that Wikipedia pages give credible information about the professor and having merely triple digit citations doesn't provide the reader with any salient talking points about having this page. Pages like Google Scholar are used for that purpose, not a Wikipedia page. Hence I propose to have this page removed at the earlierst. LumosFlame (talk) 05:42, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I hate to admit, but it looks all the sources we used were just from the group's website. It doesn't even look like they were any passing references to it even in local media. I'd recommend deleting this or redirecting it to a main Boy Scouts page if there is one that covers BSA regional councils at a high level (i haven't checked yet).

Michepman, I appreciate your note. It's just very unlikely that any of the councils at this level will pass the GNG. As for merging--there are no secondary sources that cover the council as such; recently added source only address one person and the camps, and that does not help the notability of the council. Drmies (talk) 18:03, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You should note that it is "IMHO." Clearly, the number of references, the size of the article, it's subpages and the links to the article establish it's notability. --evrik ^(talk) 18:13, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I could write ten-thousand words of flowery prose about the liechtenstein rose society, populate it with references to a website run by same, and make a nice little walled garden full of sub societies, important members, and annual events, and it wouldn't change that I literally just made the group up. Article quality is orthogonal to article includeability. No matter how good an article, it should not be kept if it is about a non-notable subject. Any article whose subject we can determine whose subject is notable should be kept (unless it is a copyvio or just so cluttered with cruft as to deserve WP:TNT).Rockphed (talk) 15:01, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of deleting the site, recommend that people contact the Council and ask them to provide more information than what is found by viewing the website. Stray comments from people in opposition of the BSA or their policies should be removed to maintain the neutrality of the site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Settummanque (talk • contribs) 16:43, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A brief analysis of sources

"A press release". 13 August 2018. on the Scouting website about the appointment of a person to the Council.
"A report on the Council". from GuideStar, which publishes numbers on NGOs (this is a website that reports primary information).
"Order your book on patches here".--that's all this can do.
"Well this link goes nowhere and should be removed". but ostensibly this is an obit on a member--no reason at all to believe it offers proper information that establishes notability.
"Here is another BSA web page"., this one the real directory.
"An obit on a person". on the website of the Rotary Club, which offers "He helped finance the rebuilding of the Boy Scout Camp in the Florida Keys"--and that is all it is.
"Boy Scout camp after Irma". (to state the obvious: this isn't about the Council).
"God only knows what this is". --it's not a secondary source, it doesn't discuss the Council. "Camp Everglades is in the Pine Rocklands of Everglades National Park" is not contended, and it is irrelevant.
"Wilma Ravages Boy Scout Camp"--a newspaper article about a camp after a storm; it has 413 words, according to the Miami Herald, and I doubt that much of that is devoted to the Council.
"Another camp after a storm". 25 June 2012. ; if we're generous we can see content about the Council: "Since then, the South Florida Council, Boy Scouts of America, have cleared away fallen Australian Pines and ripped out a decades-old water system." If we are really generous.
"Another camp after a storm". New York Daily News., and if we're generous, "It is expected to reopen by January, according to Jeff Hunt, executive director of the South Florida Council of Boys Scouts of America."
"What this is, is unclear". Archived from the original on 2012-03-10., but a web page archived from the O-Shot-Caw Lodge is not an independent secondary source.

In other words: mentions in secondary sources about the Council: two. Discussion of the actual Council in secondary sources: zero. Drmies (talk) 20:39, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

user:Drmies - I think that this article may have inadvertently fallen victim to reference bombing as part of some users' good faith attempts at repairing it. Of the links provided, most don't really mention the subject at all. The few who do fall squarely into the examples provided at WP:REFBOMB -- (1) citations which briefly namecheck the fact that the subject exists, but are not actually about the subject to any non-trivial degree and (2) citations which don't even namecheck the subject at all, but are present solely to verify a fact that's entirely tangential to the topic's own notability or lack thereof. For example, a statement of where the person was born might be "referenced" to a source which verifies that the named town exists, but completely fails to support the claim that the person was actually born there..

I respect the work that editors have put into this article, and I think there's some value in folding some of the information into the main page referenced above by user:evrik. I hate deleting articles, especially ones that contain a lot of useful information, but even with the expanded sourcing I just can't see this as passing the GNG. Michepman (talk) 01:04, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

user:Drmies - Thank you for the analysis. That was a fair amount of work. Looking at what you have posted I have two thoughts, first many of these citations are about specific facts and not on the broader council. Second, the sheer number of mentions of the council show its notability. --evrik ^(talk) 13:05, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

user:Michepman - WP:REFBOMB? Hardly. First, refbomb is not policy, it is an essay. Second, I stripped most of the cruft from the page, and then started to find references relating to each of the different sections. The subject is notable. Can you imagine where the article would be now if user:DrMies had spent the same effort improving the article as trying to get it deleted? --evrik ^(talk) 15:53, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, I am not saying that WP:REFBOMB is a policy or that the article should be deleted for that reason. My point, as I said earlier, is that the article’s sources are mostly about other stuff that are only incidentally related to South Florida Council. No one is disputing that the Council exists, or that it does good work in the community. But the sourcing present in the article and the sources linked in this page are (for the most part) not **about** the South Florida Council. They mention it in the context of other topics — a natural disaster in south Florida, or a story about the Boy Scouts in general, etc. they are useful for corroborating / verifying information about the Council, and again I commend the work spent here, but they don’t establish that it is notable.

One thing that might be helpful is if you described why the article passes the General Notability Guideline. The length of the article and the number of sources included are not relevant to the analysis. I’ve gone through it, and the WP:Notability (organizations and companies myself and tried to make a case that it is notable but I haven’t been able to justify it with the information I’ve found so far. If you can do that, then I will support keeping the article. Michepman (talk) 19:20, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notability? I think all the articles above show a lot of coverage. The sources are reliable. The sources are independent of the council. Many of the sources are primary, but may also be classed as secondary. A 100 year old non-profit that has had a significant impact on a large region of a state, surely qualifies as notable. --evrik ^(talk) 13:14, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- You're missing the point. No, primary sources may NOT be classed as secondary. That the non-profit has had an impact should be measurable. And no, this is not a lot of coverage. Moreover, NONE of the sources discuss the organization. If you don't understand the difference between cover and discuss--well, I think I said this before and I am tired of repeating myself: these are very basic concepts and your refusal to accept them means I'm wasting my time. Drmies (talk) 16:46, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not missing the point. There is some subjectiveness in what is primary and what is secondary. I do think that the sources discuss the subject, especially the ones listed above not integrated into the article. I agree that this is a waste of time. We should close the discussion, keep the article and work to improve it. --evrik ^(talk) 17:30, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article needs work and a {{refimprove}} tag is warranted, but not outright deletion. With all due respect to my esteemed fellow admin user:Drmies, Wikipedia custom needs to be taken into consideration, too. The Scouting WikiProject has had a long-standing interest in improving Council articles. Each Council is its own 501c(3) non-profit corporate entity, having a board of directors, budget, and camp properties. Typically, a council spans many counties and has several thousand members. The South Florida Council has 40,000 members serving a region having a population of almost 5 million, for example.

Examining some of the refs cited here by evrik (but not yet integrated into the article) since the AfD was first listed do support GNG. Whilst individually the refs are not highly persuasive, taken in the aggregate the article barely meets GNG. The camps owned and operated by a council are part of the council's article, rather than having separate standalone articles. News media coverage of Hurricane Irma's destruction of the South Florida Council's camp on Scout Key is therefore specifically relevant to this article and indeed demonstrates the Council's notability.

Likewise, repeated news media mention in reliable sources about the South Florida Council, as it relates to news developments and controversies, also contribute to notability. That these reliable sources consider the Council Executive's statements worthy enough to quote as newsworthy, further demonstrates that keeping this article best serves Wikipedia's value to the reader. JGHowes ^talk 17:17, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:JGHowes, you are suggesting a kind of inherent notability for such organizational entities. I still do not see why a council gets that privilege. Is there a secondary sources that explains when and how if was founded? Who the most important people were on the board or in the organization? What its financials are? What all things it operates, and why, and how? These are the things we expect secondary sources to deliver in order for an organizational entity to pass the GNG--except for secondary schools. Councils are not like secondary schools. These articles you point at, not a single one of them says anything substantial about the council. One or two of them point at grants, requested or received. One has a few membership numbers. That's it. Drmies (talk) 17:26, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Drmies you haven't made your case. The facts aren't with you. Why don't you work on revamping the article instead of spending so much time trying to refute what others have said. --evrik ^(talk)

Drmies I refute this as you simply bringing up the same arguments again and again. --evrik ^(talk) 14:55, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Because there is nothing to write. Stop pinging me. Drmies (talk) 01:16, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a fresh look at the revised article, which now has much less reliance on self-pub and OR than before the AfD prompted the rewrite and search for RS refs to meet GNG. Some have now been incorporated into the article, especially as concerns the hurricane recovery at this Council's camps and are thus unquestionably relevant. Interestingly enough, I did contact the Council to see if they had old newspaper clippings in their archives from the 1910s-1930s regarding the Council's founding and merger history, but all those records were lost when Wilma destroyed the building housing the archives.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Per the last comment. Based on my reading the concerns about the sourcing being too thin have not been adequately addressed - WP:SIGCOV demands that the sources provided have some substance so that notability can be established, and Drmies's last point on this has not been refuted - but it is possible (per JGHowes) the last edits did find such sources.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 06:53, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I thought Drmies had been consistently refuted. --evrik ^(talk) 14:55, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Insofar as Drmies has been refuted it is only because you are not engaging his points. His analysis of the sources provided, which largely matches my analysis, is that they are all trivial mentions in articles that are mostly about other things. I found several articles from local papers in Florida that were simply minutes of scout council meetings. They do no more to establish notability than do the other sources we have dug up. Rockphed (talk) 17:29, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - We have engaged all the point. However, since Drmies has refused to acknowledge that we have made any progress. it's hard to advance the discussion. The council is notable the citations are good, the page should not be deleted. --evrik ^(talk) 19:25, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Of the three that are available on the internet, I am concerned about the independence of Charity Navigator's page. The other two are trivial mentions. Based on what the book is supporting, I think it is also a trivial mention. The last one looks like one of the sources already discussed. I saw a mention that this used to be the "Dade County Council", but searching for that in newspaper archives gets only routine, WP:MILL coverage. I applaud JGHowes and Evrik for their research, but, ultimately, I don't think we have found any sources that actually show notability. Rockphed (talk) 16:58, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Some IP editor who only comments on deletion debates has chosen to comment here. I may ask for a sockpuppet check. --evrik ^(talk) 17:25, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- user:evrik, two things. a. I asked you to stop pinging me; you should respect that. b. Do not EVER remove an IP's comment for such specious reasons. You can ask for a check, but it will be denied immediately. If you're wondering how I can say this with such certainly, it's because I am a CheckUser and we don't honor requests for IP checks, esp. not if there is no evidence. (Like, seriously--who do you think this person is, and based on what evidence? Without that, it will always be denied, even if it's an account and not an IP.) Also, IPs are people too.
  Well, now that I am here, thank you Jo-Jo Eumerus. Rockphed, thank you also. Yes, I do believe my comments have not been properly addressed. Having said that, I have to say, User:JGHowes, holy moly, you did a fine, fine job. I still do not think (having just looked over the new version and some of the new sources) that this council passes the GNG, but if it gets through this AfD it will be because of your work, and I appreciate it. If you ever fly down to MGM or Maxwell, ping me and I'll buy you a cup of coffee or an ice cream. Drmies (talk) 22:31, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, there are some other refs added in the last couple of days, besides those enumerated above by Rockphed:

‎"City of Miami, Boy Scouts, USCG and Auxiliary Attain Bicentennial Goal". Navigator magazine. U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. June 1976. p. 35. Retrieved September 25, 2019.
"Hurricane Andrew". Scouting magazine. March–April 1993. pp. 37 and 63. Retrieved September 25, 2019. (arguably, since it's a magazine published by the National headquarters in Texas, "independent" may be a stretch)

These new refs are, for the most part, independent secondary sources which, taken together, do respond to Drmies' concerns regarding what GNG rightly expects of an org's article, e.g., its most important leaders (and corporate sponsors, in the case of a non-profit), its budget, and especially what the org operates (i.e., the camps, in this instance). This is not to claim inherent notability or IAR applies, but rather that there has been more than mere passing mention that the news media has deemed newsworthy in a major metropolitan area, thereby meeting the notability requirements of GNG.

Drmies, I was at Gunter AFB as an ROTC cadet marching and doing PT under a blazing hot July sun, so I'll take you up on that kind offer anytime but summer!

JGHowes ^talk 00:44, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm really impressed by the additional sourcing on this. I still think it's very debatable that this organization is notable per the strict letter of the GNG (which admittedly is frustratingly vague) but I do think that, given the track record of specific citations to it over a long period of time over multiple independent resources, that it probably does merit enough verifiable independent coverage to meet the specific notability guidelines for the organizations.

As noted above, a lot -- nearly all, actually -- of the sources presented actually are about other topics (often articles that are really about the Boy Scouts and not specifically about the Council) but I think that there's enough meat on the bone to support the article. This is definitely a tough one though and I can still see both sides. Michepman (talk) 02:16, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Building off INeedSupport, there isn't really evidence of calling any tropical cyclone as the "Labor Day hurricane" other than the storm in 1935 or a loose connection to Norma in 1970. I disagree with Dorian being on the list because I have not heard anyone call it that (I live in South Florida) and the storm barely impacted the United States on Labor Day anyway.

Keep or Merge to List of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters per WP:HEY. I found two references which analyze the character in two different ways, one in terms of playing into the evil foreigner with facial hair trope, and another looking at morality tales as told to children (in this case the evils of being a thief). I also found that the character inspired a type of poker/blackjack hybrid game that has been published in a poker game book. This may not be enough for WP:SIGCOV on its own (others should comment), but it would fit nicely into the list article which needs referencing and expansion. If kept, unsourced material should be weeded out. I request that the nominator either close as merge, or re-list so others can have time to look at what I added to the article. @TTN: and @Erpert: please comment again, as the article has changed with added referencing and is no longer completely lacking sources.4meter4 (talk) 17:35, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per it's inclusion in the reference work The Rough Guide to Opera by Matthew Boyden, Nick Kimberley, Joe Staines, 2002, page 89, and The American Radio History Archive, and it's 1978 review in Gramaphone.

Keep Meets the criteria of WP:NALBUM. It has multiple reviews/articles. In addition to the two in Gramophone over the years and Stereo Review (all already cited in the article), there are the two sources found by 4meter4. It was broadcast in its entirety on WXQR [8], and excerpts on other NPR stations. e.g. [9] and on Radio Television Hong Kong [10]. The criteria from WikiProject Classical music cited in the nom is merely a WikiProject essay, unlike those at WP:NALBUM which is an official guideline. As for potential copyvio issues in the "Reviews" section, that can be truncated to simply listing the reviews and re-expanded later. The entire article doesn't need deletion, if the subject is notable. Voceditenore (talk) 15:12, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Americana has published a good journal article that can be attributed to the It characters: [12]. It's Plot in Part I/Part II, but the intro/conclusion are analysis.
Stronger subjects of analysis and what they represent are Eddie, Bill, Mike (no wiki article, though), and Audra (no wiki article again); while discussion is weaker for Richie, Ben, and Beverly, but all do come together as representations of Baby Boomers.
Putting it out for consideration as a source to establish notability.

Delete. Although 2pou has found one good independent source, the other articles are not able to be used toward verifiability because they are behind a paywall and even 2pou can not vouch that they are substantial. Therefore, still fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG. If an editor with access is able to confirm they are substantial refs about the character Eddie Kaspbrak (i.e. an original analysis and not a plot summary), I will gladly change my vote.4meter4 (talk) 01:39, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiability is not in question here - we are examining notability. Per WP:NEXIST it doesn't matter that the sources are not freely available online, we just have to demonstrate the existence of such sources. I have already given three sources above, but here is another one which you should be able to access sufficiently to see that the coverage is significant.----Pontificalibus 06:22, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, I'm seeing very little but plot regurgitation in the article you just gave as supposed "significant coverage". I don't think it is. This is exactly why saying sources exist is not enough. At least one person (not all editors, since it is behind a pay wall) needs to actually look at it to determmine that it has some real analysis beyond plot regurgitation. That can be assumed in good faith. But if an offline source is not actually being seen by anyone, than it really can't be counted in good faith. "Imagining the Worst: Stephen King and the Representation of Women" for example doesn't even cover the work from which this character is from. Deletion is still the best option, as this collective group has only actually been able to read one good source.4meter4 (talk) 18:06, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to disregard that one source, fine, but as I said above, "Imagining the Worst: Stephen King and the Representation of Women" does cover the subject in detail, for example pages 131-132 go into detail about Eddie's relationship with his mother, and how the It monster symbolizes to Eddie his mother's relationship with him. This is clearly detailed analysis sufficient to pass WP:GNG. Likewise "The Dark Descent: Essays Defining Stephen King's Horrorscape" contains two pages of analysis, 150-151, which discuss how the author uses the character of Eddie to associate some of the major themes of the novel; sexuality and the link between obesity & death. It seems that the sources given by 2pou above contain similar if not more extensive coverage of the subject. There are really no grounds to delete this on the basis of notability or lack of sources. ----Pontificalibus 06:21, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think you missed something when looking at that particular source, 4meter4. It is listed in the works covered (third from last) in the summary. I'm guessing an easy miss since it's only 2 characters, but a search will show a few instances of "Eddie" or "Eddie Kaspbrak" clearly attributed to the It character.

Keep The nomination raises some procedural points so let's dispose of those first. The prod is one of several made using an automated tool and using the same cookie-cutter rationale, "Zero real world notability". This assertion was made without evidence and was false because the article stated, for example, "Hughes' portrayal of Gage was universally acclaimed" and that's not zero. The prod process "must only be used if no opposition to the deletion is expected" but opposition should always be expected in such cases because there are obvious alternatives to deletion, which are preferred per the policy WP:PRESERVE.

The nomination complains at the lack of explanation. It seems that they expect their rapid-fire, automated nominations to be responded to with elaborate explanations. Now, I did respond on the talk page and the most significant part of that was to post {{friendly search suggestions}}. These are not just there to look good; they are there to facilitate the searches which are required by WP:BEFORE, "The minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search; Google Scholar is suggested for academic subjects." I naturally made such searches myself, was content with what I found, and a list of suitable sources will follow. It appears from these that Stephen King's works attract lots of literary criticism and these naturally go into detail about the major characters such as this. There is therefore ample scope to improve the article per our editing policy and so deletion is quite inappropriate.

Redirect per WP:ALLPLOT. Andrew Davidson's doing his typical "I Googled up these sources, and you can't prove I didn't read them; maybe I read them and just don't understand Wikipedia policy" schtick shouldn't really be allowed to affect this. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 12:05, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is clearly the case, just looking at a few of these. This one,for example, is a student thesis in which Gage is only mentioned in a footnote summarizing the plot of the book, this one is nothing but a brief plot summary as is this one, and this one mentions the character in exactly two sentences, and barely even talks about the character in those sentences. This seems to just be the typical strategy of flooding the AFD with supposed sources, without actually providing the authorship or a link to them, in the hopes that no one does the work to track them down and analyze them for the poor sources they are.Rorshacma (talk) 15:46, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"There are none so blind as those that will not see". Naming the character in two places is evidence of notability, not a lack of it. Appearing a footnote in a scholary thesis is evidence of notability, not the contrary. The coverage in the Literary Companion is a separate entry for the character which mainly focusses on its cameos in other works, rather than simply recapitulating the plot. These are all valid sources for various aspects of the article and their existence demonstrates that the character has been noticed and written about and so we are able to cover it without OR. There are lots more sources like this and, in providing a selection, I have gone way beyond what is required of me. The onus in this matter is on the nominator to make such searches as they are the person trying to make a case that no-one has noticed this subject. They have failed to provide any evidence; have misrepresented the facts of the matter and the deletionist claque isn't any better. Andrew D. (talk) 16:48, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Naming the character in two places is evidence of notability, not a lack of it." Really? Because our guideline on notability states that "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention", and I don't know how you can even pretend to claim that the two sentences present in the article in question is anything but the definition of trivial. As are the mentions in all of the other sources I actually bothered to look at. Does anyone really believe that mentioning two "cameos" of the character, one of which is not even of the character but of a shoe, and the other one is clearly stated in the same book to not even be the same character is "significant coverage"? Proving that the character's name comes up when you google it does nothing to indicate any notability of the character separate from their already-present coverage in the main article on the book, or why it needs to have a separate article from the already substantial coverage in the main article on the book.

These details are significant coverage in my view. They corroborate specific facts and that's what we require of citations. To call this "trivial" is just opinionated prejudice; assuming the thing that you're trying to prove. Andrew D. (talk) 17:34, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not clearly the case. There's clearly some history here that I'm not privy to...
I did my own Google Scholar search, and I will vouch for at least two of the above articles. The fact that there are so many supports the fact that they WP:NEXIST regardless of the state of the article.
2. Nightmare on Sesame Street - Gage is covered extensively and believed to represent or fight against becoming brain-dead youth that watch too much TV.
6. Frankenstein's Monster: Hubris and Death in Stephen King's Oeuvre - Gage is compared throughout the article to Frankenstein's monster (as the title suggests)
I just don't want to do more than that, and two equates to multiple sources. -2pou (talk) 16:43, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect. Until actually proven, it can be assumed none of the above have any merit as sources, as it would be easy to show two or three have significant coverage. By throwing twelve items without any context, it shows no actual thought went into it. TTN (talk) 14:27, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I love your comment. Within less than two minutes you nominated four articles for deletion 1 2 3 4. If anything, it shows no actual thought went into it. MrCleanOut (talk) 19:36, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Whether I spend 10 minutes on each article or no time at all, I don't think it would really matter to you. We seem to have completely contrary mindsets, so I doubt you'd much agree with me on anything regardless. TTN (talk)

I've supported a number of your nominations, but the sheer volume can be slightly frustrating when there is almost no context as to why something is failing GNG or what you did WP:BEFORE nominating it or coming to that conclusion. Seeing four nominations in less than two minutes doesn't build confidence that due diligence is being carried out is all I think MrCleanOut is saying. More context in nominations can help reduce workload on other reviewers and not alienate them into thinking, "Great. Here's another folder thrown on my desk that I need to do the legwork for since this two-word Post-it doesn't really tell me how it got here. How did I get stuck with this?" That's right, I wikilinked it -2pou (talk) 20:03, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Consider this "proven" otherwise. See comment above highlighting the merit of two of the sources. At least two sources are extremely GNG worthy (and available for free). -2pou (talk) 16:43, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable fictional character except within the context of the work, which can be explained on the work's page. A redirect isn't required since Gage Creed already is a redirect._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 18:06, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:ALLPLOT. This isn't a fandom wiki like you get for in-unverse characters for the Stephen King books, Star Wars, etc. There's no justification for keep based in the article or this AfD so far due to lack of in-depth sources that would be more focused on the book article. I was originally going to say redirect, but as Zxcvbnm points out, Gage Creed can handle that, and there's no need to use this as a search term. Kingofaces43 (talk) 16:51, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I think All Plot should be a basis for improving the article, not deleting it. As I have stated below, this article is only a month old-2pou (talk) 16:43, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Andrew D. The article has 7 references. A GSearch for ["Gage Creed" Stephen King] turns up 30 hits. This completely invalidates the imprecise and false delete rationale: Zero real world notability. The article may be poorly written at present, but there is ample scope to improve it as per WP:ATD which is Wikipedia POLICY. Deletion is inappropriate. MrCleanOut (talk) 19:12, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or put in Draft Onel I understand you're acting in good faith, but all these character AFD seem misguided to me in this case, the fact that these character articles are in poor shape does not mean they are all non-notable. King's works have had an insane amount of coverage and other users have already demonstarated that they can find several related to this character.★Trekker (talk) 18:26, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Pet Sematary, zero notability independent of the plot of the book. Andrew's latest copying of the top Google hits certainly establishes notability of this work and its author, but not the need for a separate article for its characters. These passing mentions are such a pathetic argument that merely proves that there isn't substantive coverage of this character in particular. Reywas92^Talk 01:24, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Move to draftspace. Updated to keep below Another one turned into a redirect on the same day it was created. I guess I could see it being stumbled upon and redirected, not knowing its age, and at least there was justifiable rationale provided.... There are just so many of these, that it looks like a witch hunt. ~~Move it to a draft, and maybe it'll meet GNG when it's ready for the article space.~~ -2pou (talk) 18:46, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Andrew D.4meter4 (talk) 00:58, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep since multiple sources establish notability. Several pointed out by Andrew D, and I have verified some. The article should be improved not deleted. WP:NEXIST in the WP Notability test says that the sources only need to exist, not be present in the article. Incorporating them will strengthen the article, but that can be done over time. -2pou (talk) 16:43, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
