This is a an advertisement written by someone close to the subject. I cleaned up the weasel-word-filled hyperbole of the first two paragraphs, but then nothing noteworthy remains; therefore delete because it is not noteworthy. noclador (talk) 19:26, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: An article about a company, referenced to unreliable listings (mainly IMDb) of films in whose production they have been involved. My searches are not finding substantial coverage of the company in reliable 3rd party sources. The best is probably a short item in The Financial [1], which at least places the company in the context of its wider group, but I think remains routine coverage. Fails WP:NCORP.

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

This article is terrible and was nothing but puffery, sourced to itself. I deleted most of it and the only thing that remains of note is perhaps the "CNN Hero" angle about some philanthropy. I'm not sure but I honestly think that I, personally, am more notable than this individual.

The article was deleted in 2011 (even with the CNN Hero source) and then recreated in 2017. Jorm (talk) 19:07, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • As one of the main contributors to this page, I respectfully disagree with you. You removed links from reliable, unaffiliated news sources. (Orange County Register) [1][2][3][4]
To compare your own notoriety to Bruno's is wholly irrelevant. Notwithstanding that fact, a simple google search of your name and Bruno's name will clearly demonstrate you are indeed incorrect. There are roughly a dozen of pages of news articles, interviews from independent news sources, magazines, etc. demonstrating Bruno's notoriety around the world. Sure, he has several links to his own site - which benefit his philanthropic works. 100% of the proceeds from his books are used to feed homeless and underprivileged children, to the tune of 5,055 per day.[5]
You are correct that "the only thing that remains of note is the CNN Hero angle" about Bruno's charity. This is due to the fact that, as you've admitted, you deleted the rest (including the links to other, unaffiliated and notable news sources).
"Average Joes" do not get knighted by Italian Government[6] and by the Italian Royal Family[7].
"Average Joes" do not raise over $200,000 in donations on kickstarter that someone else started for you. This was reported by several prominent news sources, such as CBS and ABC7.[8][9] The community has gathered to support Bruno because of his notoriety that came about due to his charity, Caterina's Club.
You are right in pointing out the page was deleted in 2011. At that point, Bruno had not been knighted (twice), and his philanthropy "Caterina's Club" was only feeding a couple hundred kids every night. Now, Caterina's Club is feeding 5,055 Orange County and Los Angeles children that are underprivileged and from no-to-low-income families. He is notable in the Southern California area and around the world. [10] He's provided over 3,000,000 FREE meals to these kids. I think this is anything BUT ordinary and average. This page should not be deleted.

  • Jorm, thank you for your profound interest in the great work Mr. Serato and Caterina's Club do. I am proud to say I am a Board Member of Caterina's Club. I do not receive any compensation whatsoever for my position. I am not an employee of Mr. Serato or any entity controlled by or associated with him. I was not asked to contribute to Mr. Serato's page by anyone. Though it is clear I have an interest in the work Mr. Serato does, I do not believe being interested in a topic in any way changes the veracity of what was posted. The links to third party news sources (including OC Register, CBS, ABC7, OC Catholic) are in no way, shape, or form created by me. The details in the links on Mr. Serato's page evidence facts that are mostly statistical in nature - such as the number of kids fed for free every night (5,055) and the fact he has been knighted twice - and are not based on opinions (such as "I think I am more notable than this individual"). I am uncertain how any bias would influence the data evidenced by these links. --HeikkiVeharanta (talk) 04:24, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To save some time on AFDs, I'm bundling these together, as they were both introduced in the same book, are using the same two primary sources as the only references, and are equally unnotable. Neither of them have any reliable, secondary sources that would indicate any sort of notability.

  • Keep. I'm not sure what this editor's point is in mass creating poorly referenced stubs about new android phones, with numerous spelling and grammar issues. Please ping me if this goes to ANI or something. That said, phone is notable, easily passing GNG and SIGCOV with breathless non-stop coverage. Even if it doesn't actually get released, this doesn't violate CRYSTALBALL.

  • Redirect to List of Dungeons & Dragons deities. Despite the poor condition of the target article, the broader topic of religion in D&D is one that has attracted independent attention; additionally, such lists are broadly equivalent to other fictional character lists widely maintained for major franchises. But I agree that there's no value to an independent article with this level of depth. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 13:33, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-Bihari sentiment (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)

Most of the sources refer to discrimination against North Indian labourers in general and not just Biharis. A lot of the stuff is original research connecting Bihars relative poverty with the discrimination despite the sources themselves making no such connection. It seems to be written as if it’s somebodies personal essay. Ideally, the page should be either deleted or renamed to “Anti-North India sentiment”. The remaining news sources could be merged into Bihar or Biharis. I’m new to this and used the twinkle tool so apologies if this isn’t formatted correctly.

  • Keep. I don’t agree with the nominator. I haven’t looked at all 59 sources but the ones I have checked are all specifically about Biharis and not just North Indians generally. The topic is clearly notable on this basis. Some of the incidents in the article are a bit weak in terms of how far we can be sure they are really instances of anti-Bihari sentiment and there are some bold sweeping statements that are probably not right in terms of tone. However a need for some pruning and rewriting does not make a case for deletion. Mccapra (talk) 03:24, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • On what basis do any of the sources speak of a general Anti-Bihari sentiment? None of them do to my knowledge. And please post the sources which talk of this “Anti-Bihari sentiment”. This is clearly original research. Also, please show me the sources that link the section detailing economic matters and how they link with a general “anti-Bihari sentiment”. Please don’t support original research.YaRaabAlHind (talk) 21:17, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I’m referring to the sources provided in the article. Any editor can judge for themselves what they refer to. In the case of the ones I looked at they were clearly instances of people in other parts of India being hostile to Biharis. Mccapra (talk) 23:15, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
and I have asked you to post these sources and show they are anything other than isolated incidents. Can you please post them. Furthermore, if you are aware of Wikipedia’s policy on original research then you will be aware that connecting different unrelated incidents is in violation of this. Unless something can be produced detailing that these incidents are part of a larger anti-Bihari sentiment, then it is original research.YaRaabAlHind (talk) 13:42, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I heard you. I am not posting sources in this discussion because I am not basing my !vote on anything that is not already accessible to anyone who reads the article. There is no purpose in my copying things here. Anyone who wishes to form a view on the validity of the article can just read it and look at the sources provided. Maybe they will agree with you that there is no such thing as anti-Bihari sentiment and that the many cases documented are just isolated indicents, or maybe they won’t. I’ve already formed my own view thank you. Mccapra (talk) 16:37, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This Gigaom article is churnalism for their launch and based on an interview with the founder and clearly fails WP:ORGIND as it does not meet the criteria for "Independent Content". This techcrunch reference fails for the same reason as does this Venturebeat article. [https://www.forbes.com/sites/georgeanders/2013/06/19/entelos-data-mining-surprise-second-chance-job-candidates/#3fb7a0b777e5 This Forbes "sites" reference and this one also fail as reliable sources but leaving that aside, are also churnalism and also based on an interview with the CEO, as does this Techcrunch reference and they fail WP:ORGIND. This reference from Yahoo Finance and this announcement on Globe Newswire are entirely based on a company announcement, fails ORGIND. This Techcrunch article is also based on a funding announcement from the company, fails ORGIND. This sfgate.com reference is based on an interview with the CEO, fails ORGIND. This Blog post on the WSJ fails as a reliable source but leaving that aside is entirely based on an interview with the CEO, fails ORGIND. This from The Atlantic is one sentence, fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:SIGCOV. Of the references listed by 4meter4 above, I cannot find the first one listed but I found this remarkably similarly titled article where the company is one of 7 companies listed and the information has likely been sourced from the company (para states "The company says"), fails ORGIND. The FierceCEO reference is based on a report from the company, fails ORGIND. This NYT reference and this on also are entirely based on quotations from the CEO, both fail ORGIND. This NYT reference is a mere mention-in-passing and fails CORPDEPTH and SIGCOV. Finally, this reference from Winsborough and Chamorro-Premuzic does not discuss Entelo in any great detail, nor their algorithm and Entelo is mentioned in-passing in one sentence ("Firms like TalentBin and Entelo have employed similar approaches..."), fails CORPDEPTH and SIGCOV. Not a single reference meets the criteria, topic fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 18:40, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Long on information and name-dropping, clearly written by a fan (Former Major League Baseball players, Bill "Spaceman" Lee (who is a long time friend of Burke's) Jay Johnstone, and Fred Lynn have appeared on the show on a fairly regular basis to discuss the latest in MLB, as has former Columbo Family Mob Boss Michael Franzese. Christine Brennan from the USA Today are also contributors. One of his regular callers is Emperor Nobody, from Oakland, California. The Emperor brings a funny take on music and life issues not just sports, and much to the chagrin of former host, Chris Townsend, tends to agree with, and have much in common with Burke, when the topic of music is brought up.), no real notability other than airing on SiriusXM. The show is mentioned a lot in sporting articles, but not actually in any semblance of detail -- just "X said Y on Sports Overnight America" type blurbs.

  • Delete. After looking for sources I've found: NYTimes, TechCrunch, Digiday, and a few mentions at CoolMomTech, the latest here.
The NYT article and-to a lesser extent-the techcrunch article are reliable sources and count toward N. GNG/SIGCOV doesn't specify an exact number of sources necessary to pass so these two, plus the less notable Digiday and CoolMomTech sources (which seem to be closer to blogs?) might work. However WP:ORGCRIT pretty much means "apply GNG extra strictly", requiring a stronger level of independence in the sourcing (specifically calling out blogs) and in the depth of coverage (note that the newest source we have is from 2013, the rest are from 2011). That and the fact it's an out of date stub (note that according to CoolMomTech the app has significantly changed direction) tip me into Delete. Hydromania (talk) 06:22, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Smerge (to The Riftwar Cycle if necessary)... although what I'd really like to advocate for here is a marginally more radical approach. Feist's The Riftwar Cycle is unquestionably notable, with quite a bit of independent discussion in reliable sources, even if the sourcing at that article doesn't show it. Having a cogent, thorough article about the long-running series of books necessitates a discussion of the setting, but any halfway competent effort, even in strict summary style, is probably going to be too long to easily fit into an article whose primary purpose is to serve as a list of books. I'd like to propose that the best solution here is to take the Midkemia article, along with Kelewan, Novindus, and everything listed under "Nations" in the navigation template, and brutally cull the content into a summary-style article probably best titled Setting of The Riftwar Cycle. That would be at least vaguely policy compliant (per WP:SPINOUT and the willingness to accept plot and setting summaries as essential to understanding the context of fictional works) and does in fact have some reliable sources available, as there's been at least limited discussion of Feist's adaptation of Nahuatl and Eastern trappings for some of his imagery in place of the genre-standard Tolkeinesque medieval European pastiche.

  • Redirect to The Riftwar Cycle, with a selective merge of any reliably sourced material deemed useful. Squeamish Ossifrage makes a good case for a single general setting summary article that can be reliably sourced and a redirect would preserve in the article history any useful content for that enterprise. If the general article never gets written, a redirect is still a reasonable course, as this is a plausible search term and redirects are cheap. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 17:57, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As written, fails WP:Notability guidelines, specifically, WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. Sources are almost all primary sources, and sources 2-3, 6-7, and 10-13 relate to the company's bankruptcy, which does not count as significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV). The only noteworthy item is a single data breach, at source #14, for which sources 15-16 are repeat sources of the single event covered in source #14. As the corporation is now defunct/bankrupt, no prospect of ever meeting standalone notability. Nevertheless, completing the obligatory motions and BEFORE procedures, a Google web search for the article title revealed only directory listings, SEO listings, former social media pages, and press coverage related to either of (a) the corporation's bankruptcy (initial filing and conclusion), which is only trivial and trite press coverage, and (b) the single data breach, for which repeat sources do not count towards WP:SIGCOV.

      Business of the Year (26-75 employees): NCIX

      Over 18 years ago, NCIX opened its first retail store and have since grown across Canada. NCIX, recognized as Business of the Year, is a computer and electronics retailer offering a wide array of electronics and accessories. Its also the No. 1 computer component e-tailer in Canada.

      “Richmond has been our home for the past 19 years, and we feel proud of this,” said Sam Li, marketing manager. “We appreciate everyone’s business.”

      NCIX isn’t a typical computer store. Its YouTube channel delivers how-to guides, product reviews, and all the latest tech news in the show Netlinked Daily. The channel is part of the top one per cent of all technology channels with over 70 million views.

      Surrey’s Linus Sebastian, 30, appeared in his first YouTube video for NCIX Tech Tips back in 2007. In that video, he describes and installs a computer processing unit (CPU) cooling system.

      At the time, Sebastian was working for NCIX, the Richmond-headquartered computer company. He started as a sales representative, but was eventually promoted to a management position. One of his duties was to make product-information videos.

      Sebastian started Linus Tech Tips, an arm of NCIX that would allow him to publish at a lower-production cost. The new channel, Sebastian said, allowed him to publish videos more frequently and would “absolve the company of some of the responsibility for whatever it is I might say.”

      The Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel started to gain followers, but the NCIX channel was still dominant.

      In 2013, Sebastian decided to leave NCIX, through an agreement, and brought the Linus Tech Tips channel and its trademark with him.

      The article notes:

      Founded in 1996, NCIX primarily served western Canadian residents. After building a sizable online presence and looking to expand, the company opened brick and mortar stores in the Vancouver area and later added additional locations in Ontario. Once the Canadian market was well covered, NCIX set up a distribution center in the United States in 2011.

      Moving forward to July 2017, NCIX shut down several of its retail stores in eastern Canada and closed its office in Markham, Ontario. Then in November, five more stores were shut down. At this time, customers were told to file chargebacks with financial institutions for orders that were not fulfilled.

      Now, all NCIX retail stores have been closed and show no signs of returning. The Supreme Court of British Columbia will hear the bankruptcy case filed by NCIX. At this time it is advised that no orders are placed due to the possibility of not receiving a product and being unable to obtain a refund.

      Where exactly NCIX went wrong is still open to debate. Competition from Amazon, Newegg, and other online sites may have been too much. Regardless of the reasoning, costs clearly have outweighed revenue for some time now. For those interested in hearing more possible reasons of failure, listen to some insight from two well known former employees.

      The article notes:

      NCIX filed for bankruptcy last Friday after closing down its last walk-in retail store. The exact reasons why the company had run out of money are not disclosed officially, but chatter indicates that NCIX spent too much on retail stores and too little on improving the efficiency of its online business.

      NCIX (or Netlink Computer Inc.) was founded in 1996 by Steve Wu in Burnaby, British Columbia. Initially, NCIX was a walk-in retail outlet, but in 1997 the company began to sell products online, attracting customers both from Canada and the US. Over the years, NCIX established multiple walk-in stores in Canada and expanded its online business in North America to a point when it had to build a distribution center in California to serve its customers from the US. faster and cheaper. For years, the company has competed both against traditional retailers as well as against online rivals like Amazon and Newegg. NCIX survived multiple PC retailers in Canada, which encouraged it to focus on “real” stores. So instead of investing in online sales assets (such as warehouses, distribution centers, and delivery methods), the company invested heavily in large walk-in retail outlets in the recent years, its former employees say. In total, the company used to have about a dozen of retail locations in Canada, all of which were expensive to run.

      The article notes:

      Last Friday, Netlink Computer Inc., better known to DIY system builders as NCIX, filed for bankruptcy in Vancouver, Canada, after shuttering the last of its brick and mortar stores. It's not clear what exactly led to this point, though it's quite possible the company focused too much on its physical stores and not enough on its web business.

      Some companies have had a hard time fully embracing the online sales model after thriving for some time with physical storefronts. It didn't seem likely that NCIX would make that mistake. It began as a walk-in retail business when it was founded in 1996 by Steve Wu in Burnaby, British Columbia, but started selling products online a year later.

      Over the years, NCIX expanded by opening several physical stores. It also built a bigger presence in the United States, though it faced stiff competition from Amazon and Newegg. According to Anandtech, that's the reason why NCIX poured more resources into opening offline stores, rather than investing more in warehouses and distribution centers for its online business.

      That said, NCIX did set up a distribution center in the US in 2011. However, it hasn't been nearly as aggressive as Amazon or Newegg in the online space. Linus Sebastian from Linus Tech Tips stated in a YouTube video that this is one of the reasons why he left the company several years ago, after advancing about as high as a person could. He also criticized upper management. Skip ahead to the 41:40 mark to hear all of what he had to say:

      The article notes:

      North American shoppers, especially Canadians, have probably heard of or used the popular online and brick-and-mortar retailer of computer hardware NCIX before. Founded as Netlink Computer Inc.in Burnaby, British Columbia, the retailer was a brick-and-mortar store before becoming the online giant it’s better known as today. Before bankrupting, NCIX operated several retail stores in British Columbia and Ontario and a distribution center in California.

      We don’t know what caused the bankruptcy, but signs of trouble had already begun appearing in July when NCIX closed all its retail locations in Ontario. Shortly after, it closed a bunch of retail stores in its home market of British Columbia as well. By the end of November, all NCIX retail outlets had closed. The company also stopped fulfilling online orders around the same time and opened a thread on its forums for users to request refunds and cancellations.

      Vancouver-based tech retailer NCIX filed for bankruptcy late last year, closing more than a dozen stores and auctioning off most of its remaining goods — hardware and software.

      According to an article posted online by Vancouver cybersecurity expert Travis Doering, NCIX compromised security for hundreds of thousands of customers, whose private data — including IP, home and email addresses, passwords, credit card information and social insurance numbers — was being sold to the highest bidder on Craigslist.

      ...

      By failing to secure their customer data upon bankruptcy, Doering explained, NCIX potentially allowed millions of confidential records to be sold anonymously and without any oversight at all.

      Up until December 1, 2017, when it filed for bankruptcy, NCIX was a privately-held company in Canada in the business of selling computer hardware and software. It competed with Amazon and Newegg but its focus on walk-in outlets rather than online sales brought the company down.

      Security consultant Travis Doering of Privacy Fly decided to act on a selling offer on Craigslist that promised two NCIX database servers for CAD 1,500, but he later found that the seller, identified as Jeff, actually had "NCIX’s entire server farm from the east coast."

      ...

      One he's analyzed includes 3,848,000 order details between 2007 and 2010, with names, company names, items purchased and their serial numbers, addresses, phone numbers, and payment data. In an updated version he found corresponding email addresses.

      The article notes:

      When a company goes bankrupt what happens to the customer data? In one case, it ended up for sale on Craigslist.

      That's what a system analyst in Canada recently found: A shady Craigslist dealer was offering access to millions of customer records taken from unwiped servers used by the electronics retailer NCIX, which went bankrupt in 2017.

      "It sounds crazy how negligent this company was," said Travis Doering, who uncovered the sale and was once an NCIX customer. "I personally feel so betrayed by this."

      This week, he wrote up the incident in a blog post, which appears to have sparked a police investigation into the sale. According to Doering, at least some of the data goes back 15 years and was entirely stored in plain text. It included customer addresses, phone numbers, credit card payment details, and details about items people bought.

      ...

      Since NCIX is nothing but a corpse now, those whose privacy has been breached – any customer or employee – have little chance for any redress, we fear.

      The massive privacy breach appears to have taken place after the retailer closed its stores last year and retired old servers and employee workstations.

      It's unclear how these servers ended up advertised on Craigslist, but they did. Travis Doering of Privacy Fly discovered an ad for two servers in August.

Of course the data wasn’t encrypted, but they could at least take the time to destroy the data before getting rid of the equipment.”

      “When you are preparing to apply for bankruptcy you have an obligation to your customers to destroy the personal data … The data doesn’t belong to you. You may have custody and control over the data, but it belongs to the data subject.”

      But, as NCIX has gone bust, compensation claims are unlikely to fly as there's no one to pay them except those selling the equipment and it's unlikely they'll have the funds to cover any costs like that.

      “Nowadays, such negligence is unfortunately not all that uncommon, even amid operating and profitable companies, let alone bankrupt ones, Kolochenko added. “Many large organisations have been exposed for throwing away plaintext PII and other sensitive data of their customers on paper, hard drives or mobile devices.

      NCIX, a company specializing in the sale of computer equipment online, went bankrupt in December 2017. Its servers and data from the BC-based company would then have passed into the hands of an unscrupulous seller.

      This was discovered by Privacy Fly security consultant Travis Doering, who conducted his little investigation after seeing the servers in question for sale on the Craigslist classifieds site.

      The article notes:

      Before declaring bankruptcy, and ultimately closing its doors in December 2017, NCIX was a major Canadian computer retailer, with stores across British Columbia and Ontario. In recent weeks, NCIX servers containing terabytes of unencrypted data have appeared for sale on Craigslist. The seller was located in Richmond, BC, a suburb of Vancouver, and was offering servers for $1500 apiece. The seller claimed to also have access to hundreds of computers from NCIX offices.

      Travis Doering, owner of cybersecurity firm Privacy Fly, investigated the sale, and found that the hardware contained massive amounts of private data, including names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, invoices, photos of customer ID, unsalted MD5 hashed passwords, hundreds of thousands of plain-text payment card details, and millions of customer orders.

      ...

      The mistakes made by NCIX are so glaring that this is a pretty simple one to avoid. Sensitive data should always be encrypted in storage, hard drives should be destroyed or securely wiped when decommissioned, and not every record should be retained indefinitely. There is no need for NCIX to have maintained this level of detailed customer data for more than 15 years. Unfortunately, when a company enters bankruptcy and closes down, they are left with little incentive to maintain proper information security.

    • NCIX has received substantial analysis from many analysts and publications about its bankruptcy and its data breach. This detailed analysis about both events is sufficient to allow the company to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. An option is to rename the article to be "Bankruptcy and data breach of NCIX" but I think it's fine to leave the article as titled "NCIX".

      Here is some sample analysis about the bankruptcy:

      1. TechSpot notes: "Where exactly NCIX went wrong is still open to debate. Competition from Amazon, Newegg, and other online sites may have been too much. Regardless of the reasoning, costs clearly have outweighed revenue for some time now."
      2. AnandTech notes, "The exact reasons why the company had run out of money are not disclosed officially, but chatter indicates that NCIX spent too much on retail stores and too little on improving the efficiency of its online business. ... For years, the company has competed both against traditional retailers as well as against online rivals like Amazon and Newegg. NCIX survived multiple PC retailers in Canada, which encouraged it to focus on “real” stores. So instead of investing in online sales assets (such as warehouses, distribution centers, and delivery methods), the company invested heavily in large walk-in retail outlets in the recent years, its former employees say. In total, the company used to have about a dozen of retail locations in Canada, all of which were expensive to run."
      3. PC Gamer notes, "It's not clear what exactly led to this point, though it's quite possible the company focused too much on its physical stores and not enough on its web business. ... That said, NCIX did set up a distribution center in the US in 2011. However, it hasn't been nearly as aggressive as Amazon or Newegg in the online space."
      Here is some sample analysis about the data breach:
      1. CBC News notes, "Technical expert Graham Williams says he was shocked at reports of the breach and worries how much information may be out there. "Looking at other breaches of Canadian retailers, we haven't seen this scope of information of user data, this amount of unencrypted data.""
      2. The Globe and Mail notes, "David Shipley, chief executive officer of cybersecurity firm Beauceron Security, said if the information in Mr. Doering’s post is correct the incident would rank “among the worst privacy breaches in the private sector that I’m aware of in Canada. “It’s almost the digital equivalent of an oil spill with a bankrupt company,” he said. “Because who then pays for the clean-up? What recourse do victims truly have when a company no longer exists?”"

WP:GNG doesn't concern itself with whether there is enough info to build an article, it is whether the subject is notable for inclusion. The sources provided fall well below "Significant coverage" bar required by WP:GNG. I will also point to the last bullet of WP:GNG, which states that even if a subject is found in reliable sources, the presumption of notability doesn't guarantee inclusion. He is mentioned in 15 sources or so, with the only "feature sources" found during a 3 day period all reporting on the fact that he committed to a college.

Though TribLive isn't listed at the perennial reliable sources table, that doesn't mean we can't cite it in discussions or articles. It appears to have a similar editorial process to BuzzFeed, which is. That article confirms that the subject was sidelined due to an injury part way through his first season. As such, he fails WP:NGRIDIRON. However, as noted, failing WP:NGRIDIRON does not mean a delete, nor does it mean a keep. It comes down to whether he meets WP:GNG. Of all the Google news and web search results I trawled through, most were stats pages and routine coverage, for which WP:ROUTINE is an essay not a policy and there is a counter-essay. As nearly all of the coverage was based off of his either being drafted or his injury/injury progress, it seems clear to me there is not significant coverage. Thus, we have a dual WP:GNG and WP:NGRIDIRON fail. A complicated nomination, but one I'm pleased to support. --Doug Mehus T·C 21:32, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I don't see anything that shows he meets the notability criteria for football players or college athletes. The coverage is typical of what anyone signed by an NFL team would receive and a hundreds of players get temporary contracts every year without ever playing in a regular season game and they are not considered notable.

Entirely non-notable and probably an autobiography given that Special:Contributions/Jannajoos has only created this page yesterday and is just expanding it and linking all of Ford's non-notable roles (likely just an extra) to this page.

The page, if not deleted, is terribly written and needs WP:DYNAMITE, but I just don't see the notability to keep that. It's full of nonsense aggrandizement and weasel words and vague allusions and sentence fragments. And the top "reference" is to the Wikipedia main page. JesseRafe (talk) 13:46, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately all this article achieves is an announcement of Ms. Thach Hickman's existence and brief professional background, violating WP:RESUME, WP:PROMOTION, and WP:EXIST. The two sources currently in the article are brief profiles explaining her possibly unique status as a woman Mormon doctor, but those are from the Mormon media and may not qualify for the significant coverage rule at WP:SIGCOV.

  • Delete I have to object to the line "her possibly unique status as a woman Mormon doctor". A- this is a problematic way to refer to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. B- there have been women physicians who were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since the 19th-century, such as Ellen Shipp and Emma Penrose. BYU named residence halls after such women over 60 years ago. Hickman is at the start of her career. She may at some point be notable, but not yet. On the sources about religion and science, being held up as an example of someone who sees these are coexisting in an article written by someone else is not the way to notability. What we would have to see is Hickman writing articles or books about the subject and then having 3rd party coverage of her published work on the subject. I want to include this article, but Hickman is a professional at the start of her career, she is not yet at the level of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:47, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This film lacks significant coverage from multiple independent reliable sources to establish notability, nor is there any evidence that other criteria for inclusion is met from WP:NFILM.

I worry that this article is written more as an essay (WP:NOTESSAY) and based mostly in primary sources. 18 of the 27 references, two out of three sources, are authored by Harsha Walia, the creator of the concept the article talks about, including 16 that directly reference Undoing Border Imperialism, the book that coined this term. Four other sources consist in the publication Decolonizing Feminism: Challenging Connections between Settler Colonialism and Heteropatriarchy, which are the base of the Settler colonialism section.

  • Delete I agree with the nominator this isn’t an encyclopaedic article. It’s not really even an essay as it has disjointed sections that do not add up to a coherent argument. It’s a sort of book review with other related stuff thrown in. Walia’s book looks to me to be notable in itself, so possibly the entire article could be repurposed on that basis, but otherwise I can’t see a basis for keeping it. Mccapra (talk) 12:01, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — Totally agree. The article doesn't meet general WP:GNG. The sources are generally primary. One source is behind a paywall. [1] I read an article almost completely and I think it's someone's invention of a new way to describe (In highly biased, leftist way) typical immigration policy of any country in the world which is focused on its restriction. I also noted that there are some mentions in the news[2] but they don't seem reliable to use it as sources. DAVRONOVA.A. 12:10, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The nom mentions a number of page-quality issues (over-reliance on primary sources, over-reliance on sources that are not independent, written in essay-style). I think they are correct that these are issues with the quality of the page that should be addressed. However, these are not issues for AFD which is concerned with whether the article should be deleted or not, AFD is not clean-up. The only issue raised here that cannot be addressed through simple editing is whether there is sufficient, independent, reliable sourcing available (not necessarily cited in the article at present) to sustain the notability of the article. I find that there is based on the following sources discussing the Walia's theory of "Border imperialism": 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. I do wonder if the book might be a better target for this article than the theory per se, but it appears notable either way. FOARP (talk) 12:13, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@FOARP: There is thing called common sense. A new term to describe a policy of cross-border movements restrictions in case of war/crisis doesn't make the term notable by default (WP:NAD, WP:MADEUP). At least 3 sources you have provided do not analyse, evaluate or interpret the subject (term) itself: the two from "the nation"[3][4], and a Cambridge one.[5]. It's rather embeded into a more wider research on non-directly related to the term matters of immigration. The term is mentioned in these cases but not in a way to make it notable. Another source you have delivered is a simple advertisement of the book.[6] In other words neither of 4 sources scrutinize the subject by itself as it required per WP:GNG. There is also an alternative to a deletion: to move the part of the article into Harsha Walia one as a part of her works.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexander Davronov (talkcontribs)
I think you are possibly mistaking me saying this concept appears notable with me agreeing with it in some way. Just so we're clear on this: I do not think this concept is particularly useful. The sources demonstrate the notability of this concept by citing it and describing it - they do not need to do more than this to demonstrate notability. Objections to the article based on the present state of it, unless they are invoking WP:TNT (which I do not think justified as it is eminently savable), do not invoke a WP:DELREASON. FOARP (talk) 20:58, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@FOARP: I don't think about whether you agree or not with what this article is saying. I'm pointing out to the sources which can't make up a separate article. There is simply not enough of them that could make it to pass WP:GNG. I also checked out the first source you have mentioned: it doesn't analyze the subject closely either, making 5 out of 10 sources unreliable for notability. If you would have a good research on the statements in the article proving the subject's theory and reviewing these works I would agree to keep it in place and clean up but not otherwise. DAVRONOVA.A. 21:03, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - sure AfD is not cleanup, but that does not apply here as there is nothing left after a cleanup. Most of the article is just a summary of the book, including making contentious statements in Wikivoice. There is also a tangent on settler colonialism which is based mostly on a single paper. It also cites three times an opinion piece by Walia in TeleSUR, listed at WP:RSP as deprecated for being "a Bolivarian propaganda outlet". This topic is not notable aside from the author (who already has an article), as largely borne out by the 10 links above. -Crossroads- (talk) 04:30, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I find the arguments of FOARP persuasive. I do not find the nominator's argument persuasive. AfD is not clean up and if the article is a ref bomb of primary sources, we can fix that. Sources do exist and therefore this article merits inclusion. Wm335td (talk) 19:41, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lakers–Rockets brawl (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

Overstated "brawl" was a run-of-the-mill verbal and shoving incident among basketball players with no major punches, injuries, or any suspensions as major as those at List of people banned or suspended by the NBA. Per WP:SPORTSEVENT, a single game is generally not notable. As a single event, this fails guideline WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE with coverage dying within days. There are no major write-ups months later to show its WP:LASTING impact. It violates WP:NOTADIARY to go into this play-by-play detail. A few sentences at 2018–19 Houston Rockets season and 2018–19 Los Angeles Lakers season as well as the bios of those suspended is sufficient. —Bagumba (talk) 10:56, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment; I know I created this article, but I could probably count on two hands the number of brawls that have resulted in 9+ games of suspensions for the parties involved; "run-of-the-mill" is a little misleading, I'd think? If you look at other brawl articles which I modelled this article after, such as the Knicks-Nuggets brawl, they delve into intricate details of the altercation, and other historical games of significance seem to follow this model, which I'm confused about your WP:NOTADIARY concern. Similar good articles like that one are also primarily modelled on primary sources. I had this article reviewed in IRC because of my concern about notability, but no issues were raised there, which is why I'm slightly surprised that my first article is now on a AfD. 2506Locks (talk) 15:31, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @2506Locks: Yeah, it sucks when you patterned it after an existing article, did due dilligence at WP:AFC, but the article you started is still being questioned. If you can (re-)read WP:NEVENT and are able to identify later sources that detail the histroical significance of this, I would reconsider. Regarding the Knicks–Nuggets article, WP:OTHERSTUFF might apply. I havent looked at that brawl, but it might be more significant than this one, or perhaps that one should be deleted as well. While AfC met one editor's approval, AfD offers a wider audience to reach a consensus. This discussion just started, and others might have different perspectives.

  • Delete and salt both the article and the redirect. This article was originally created under the name of the gallery so I have added additional search links for that name above but it didn't help as much as I hoped. I am seeing a fair number of passing mentions in the search hits but nothing to indicate that either Kastel himself or the gallery are notable. Also, the article is an orphan apart from its one redirect. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:00, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep This was one of the most notable galleries in town. Admittedly, it would not be your kind of art work but that qualifies as a form of COI from my perspective.

Please be careful with your wording. I was initially inclined to read your use of "your" as an improper personal attack on the nominator. Only on a second reading did I realise that you probably meant the impersonal "one's". At least, I very much hope that you did.
Even so, there is no COI here. When I was doing searches to see if the subject was notable I found so little that I could not even tell I whether liked the subjects' taste in art or not. I found a lot of passing mentions. It was enough to prove that the gallery existed and that it had staged exhibitions but I found nothing that spoke to notability, in the Wikipedia sense of the term, for either the person or the gallery. I guess I could have looked into whether I actually liked the artists that these passing mentions related to but, as that is totally off-topic here, I didn't bother. Notability is not inherited. If you believe that sufficient coverage does exist then please feel free to add additional references to the article and I will consider changing my !vote. Blank assertion that the sources exist will not cut it when I am finding so little in Google Books, Newspapers and Scholar. Please bear in mind that having exhibited work, even by a very notable artist, is not enough to confer notability in itself. Reviews of specific exhibitions may contain coverage of the gallery or proprietor (which could be helpful in showing notability) but that is not automatically the case. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:56, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep So I got to wondering why an American and a Montrealer would be this interested in one page I created and another that I am related to about a wonderful old gallery owner... who was instrumental in bringing a show about Fritz Brandtner to the MMFA... and then I thought hey... I have Premium products in certain social media accounts and so I took a screenshot.... meaning I know who you are in the real world. Please try to be a little more objective and drop the heavy POV on art.

Note: There is a suggestion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tristan Tondino (2nd nomination) that the above recently created account might be a sockpuppet belonging to the original author of this article. I do not know whether that claim is solid but I do note that the above includes an unambiguous threat of outing people's personal identities on top of an unjustifiable personal attack on those assumed identities. I don't know exactly what is going on here but such intimidation is completely unacceptable.

  • Delete - In its current form, the list seems completely subjective. As it's not a mainstream genre, I'd say the only way such a list is going to be viable is if there's a requirement for there to be a source that lists each series as such. TTN (talk) 22:39, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I don't see a problem with a list like this being unsourced. If all the entries are blue links and all the articles identify them in that category then that's fine. I don't see any shortage of sources discussing science fiction humour, The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy covers it from page 401 to 404. Nor is "not a proper genre" any kind of argument for deletion; Science Fiction Film: A Critical Introduction discusses this issue pages 110 to 111 and draws a distinction (with examples) of the difference between a commedy science fiction film and science fiction with some humour elements (which addresses one other objection raised). The argument that the subject is too broad doesn't wash with me either. The list is currently reasonably short (we have much longer lists than this one) and we still have the option to break it into separate pages by media.

  • Delete - At least leaning that way right now. Here are the problems:
  • The largest section duplicates List of comic science fiction films
  • the list is original research. Unsourced, and none of the articles I've checked so far have sources calling the work "comic science fiction"
  • A search for '"comic science fiction" list' returns zero reliable sources, and lots based on Wikipedia (never a good sign)
  • It seems like this is one of many ways to write some combination of "science fiction and comedy"? even opening the search terms, basically all of the halfway decent sources I'm seeing are about films (which, again, already have a separate article).
  • We can take any two genres and create a list of movies at their intersection. That doesn't mean that sufficient reliable sources have written about that intersection across media to meet our standards for lists. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:25, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhododendrites: Did you look at the article by David Langford I linked above in the Greenwood Encyclopedia? If not, would you please take a look (use "humorous science fiction" as a search term to find it. It begins on page 401). Langford gives a wide ranging discussion explicitly naming numerous works. Also, his bibliography indicates that there are quite a few other reliable sources available. SpinningSpark 12:21, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The entry is on "humor", not a particular genre, and he even says "humor is not a distinct genre like science fiction or fantasy and mixes easily with many fictional modes." It would be a fine source to use if we have an article on humor and science fiction, but it would be original research to say that this source supports examples of a particular scifi genre. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:59, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I never claimed that it is a genre, that is not a requirement for an article in any case. It certainly didn't stop Langford writing one. I only claim that we have enough reliable sources to justify a Wikipedia article on the subject. And of course he doesn't need to title it "Humor in science fiction". He is writing in a science fiction encyclopedia so that is taken for granted. SpinningSpark 17:06, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article on the subject this is based on calls it a subgenre. It's straightforwardly OR to say that an entry about humor in a scifi encyclopedia is about that genre. If it's really intended to be a "list of any media of any genre that sources say have some elements of comedy and science fiction"... that's a straightforward fail per WP:NOT and WP:SALAT. By the same logic, presumably any entry in that encyclopedic of scifi which lists examples could sustain a "list of any media that feature elements of [whatever] and science fiction"? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:49, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. If a respectable encyclopaedia of SF contains an article about some aspect such as humour then this is obviously prima facie evidence that this topic is both notable and encyclopaedic. Such a topic is therefore valid here too. Andrew D. (talk) 18:35, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
... It's absurd to think that [specialist encyclopedia subject] + [heading in that specialist encyclopedia] = [appropriate list topic for Wikipedia]. Either this is a list about a genre, in which case this entry is not about that genre and contributes nothing, or we're just cobbling together two elements like "humor" and "science fiction" and then populating said list with absolutely anything that has "humor" and science fiction"? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:50, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as article index per WP:LISTPURP, complementary to Category:Comic science fiction per WP:CLN. It should be obvious that if it is appropriate to include in the category (a structure which has existed since 2007), then it is appropriate for the list. "Overbreadth" could be dealt with by splitting into sublists by medium, time period, country of origin, etc. Note also there is a parent article at comic science fiction, which has not yet had any talk page discussion on the issue of inclusion, genre definition or recognition, etc. postdlf (talk) 17:36, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • So presumably if that category were deleted, you would support deleting this? After all, none (or none that I've seen) of the articles in that category have sources saying it's in the "comic science fiction" genre, as is required for genres. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:49, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think in any event the fact we have a parallel category and a parent article means that all of this content should be discussed together, and not just raised for the first time in the AFD of a sublist. Particularly since you're really the only one so far who has clearly presented an argument that there are unfixable problems here, rather than just complaining about things that could potentially be fixed. postdlf (talk) 14:59, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An actor who fails notability guidelines for actors. The subject is credited with 5 appearances: one of which is non-notable we series. I couldn't establish if the subject had significant role in it. Other credit is for a video of song Ehsaas Song, which is currently at AfD as well. Third credit is for a 2019 film, Sridevi Bungalow. In this film, the subject doesnt have a significant/lead role unlike as stated in the film's article. The subject had lead role only in two films (from 2016). Thus failing notability criteria for actors.

The only (and little) coverage for the subject in reliable sources was about the 2016 films. That coverage was not in-depth either. After that, no coverage can be found. In short subject lacks significant coverage. Hence failing general notability criteria as well.

  • Keep question mark? Heh... Kind of borderline, but there is coverage of him out there. The article may not appropriately reflect that, but the coverage just needs to WP:NEXIST per the Notability test. It's also a bit tricky when it comes to these transformers since there is so much cross-media possibility and so many variations... Does that make it easier or harder to establish notability? Anyway, that's a separate discussion. Here are some examples of coverage:
  1. Review from a major Philippine newspaper/outlet that also goes into his history
  2. BleedingCool review of a toy
  3. His movie death has been covered by a few places regarding what it was and what it might have been by io9/Gizmodo and by Den of Geek among other places.
  4. Den of Geek also covered how his toy and character actually came about in the first place.
  5. He's also in a CBR list of most powerful autobots. (Yes... a Top X list... that's why it's last here.) --2pou (talk) 21:22, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. @StonyBrook: I did see various news articles like that. I fail to see how they demonstrate the subjects' notability. In the one article you linked, for example, the MCCJ is mentioned in one line out of 65 paragraphs: They got a single quote from a rabbi who works with the organization, hardly "significant coverage" per WP:ORGCRIT. I've yet to find a news article actually focusing on the organization that is neither 1) a straight-up press release nor 2) noting the fact that they're giving out a community engagement award. Ignatzmicetalk 21:35, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I count 2 mentions in 36 paragraphs, but I guess we count differently. Not including captions. StonyBrook (talk) 21:50, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake, they quote rabbi twice. I just re-counted and got 71 newlines, but agreed on the point that news articles break things into way more paragraphs than other sources do. Ignatzmicetalk 22:22, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not trying to be annoying, but do you have policy reasons to support your opinion, besides "it's been around for a long time"? I'm specifically wondering if you can find sources that are "specific, independent, reliable, secondary" (per wp:ORGCRIT) that demonstrate notability. I haven't been able to. Ignatzmicetalk 23:59, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
[11], [12], [13], lots more in the Miami Herald, although the public access archive only appears to go back a few years. Better archive searches will undoubtedly produce more sources.Strandvue (talk) 13:54, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Link 2: An obit for a former MCCJ director. MCCJ mentioned a few times, nothing that demonstrates notability.
Link 3: Another obit for the same person. MCCJ featured more prominently, enough to be used as a decent reference in an article, but I'm not convinced it demonstrates notability.
Link 4: A gussied-up press release. "Here is an event that will happen in the community!" Nothing demonstrates notability.
See my comment below; just because an organization is mentioned in news articles does not mean it is notable. Ignatzmicetalk 21:19, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Virginia Inclusive Communities does gets at least some local coverage [14], but does not come up in a search of the Washington Post, where I would expect to find important Virginia civic organizations. On the other hand, the Richmond Times-Dispatch offers deep coverage of VIC [15], so I suggest Keep.Strandvue (talk) 14:05, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You say that the RTD offers "deep coverage" on VCIC. Here's the first result in that Google link you posted. Note the URL and the text at the bottom of the article: "This feature [...] is brought to you by the featured organization". Not an independent source, therefore fails to demonstrate notability.
Here's the second Google hit. An opinion column by a VCIC steering committee. Not independent.
The third hit. A profile of the organization's president. As with MCCJ, there's enough info here to use it as a reference but I don't believe the profile demonstrates notability of the VCIC itself.
The fourth. An editorial, three paragraphs long, congratulating awardees of a VCIC award.
Fifth. A column by the VCIC's president.
All of these articles are either not independent or are wp:TRIVIALCOVERAGE of the subject. The fact that the organization exists, and has been mentioned in scores of newspaper articles and columns, does not demonstrate notability if those articles are not substantial, explicitly about the organization, and independent of the organization. I'm not trying to be flippant here, but an honest question: Can you make an argument that the links you posted demonstrate notability under wp:ORGCRIT, or can you find a source that does? Because I don't think they do. Ignatzmicetalk 21:19, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete As a fan of Francis E. Dec's writings, I really wanted to keep this one, but the sources I could find didn't convince me that he meets GNG. The book cited in the article is definitely substantive coverage, and this book by Donna Kossy also covers him, although I don't know to what extent. Our article on Kossy calls it "the first biography of Francis E. Dec", so if we trust that, it's probably reasonably detailed. But those two sources seem to be all there is outside of zines, fansites and blogs. So I'll have to go with delete unless more sources turn up. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 19:56, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I was skeptical at first, but Google turned up 70,800,000 results - among them was the book "The Technical Delusion: Electronics, Power, Insanity" by Jeffrey Sconce, published in 2019 by Duke University Press which cited Dec well over 10x. That tells us there is long term encyclopedic value in keeping and expanding the article. There is an article in Medium (website) but I'm not all that familiar with the source. There is also this book and this one, both of which cite the WP article about him, and that tells me we need to make sure the article is accurate. Just my nickel's worth.

Adding another citation: Amiran, Eyal. "THE PORNOCRATIC BODY IN THE AGE OF NETWORKED PARANOIA." Cultural Critique, no. 100, 2018, p. 134+. Gale OneFile: Health and Medicine, [16]
Medium is a blog site, and those two books seem to be generated by bots that scrape Wikipedia articles. The Technical Delusion is definitely a good source though, and I've put in a request at WP:RX for the Kossy book I mentioned above... if its coverage of Dec is substantial I might change my vote.

  • Keep I believe he meets GNG based on being profiled in the Sconce book and the multiple other sources noted by Sconce. This is one of those folks who falls into the pre-Google age as far as sources go, but he definitely was a high profile lunatic in his time. I’m finding limited caselaw on him, but google scholar popped up two appeals that were denied, can’t find the lower court cases, though: [17] Someone transcribed his legal appeals here. I don’t have access to paid legal databases, but he did seek cert at the US Supreme Court in 1961-62 and it was denied twice. There’s an off-wiki article on him that might have been a previously deleted one here that maybe folks can check the sources on.

Hate to do this since I actually really like Foxes and Peppers' music, but literally every source in this article is WP:PRIMARY or just tangential mentions. His albums were small independent releases mostly sold at furry cons. He hasn't charted a single. Mainstream media has paid him no attention. While he's worked with some notable people on his music, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. 5,000 sales of an album is nothing, despite the fact that I enjoy the music. A WP:BEFORE found nothing of note on Gnews, Gbooks, or regular Google, just sites selling his music, YouTube uploads, social media, and the like.

  • Delete: fails WP:NSONG, and the only reason for the article's existence is because the creator has been trying to create articles for every song written by Lynsey de Paul, however obscure the song. Didn't chart anywhere and there is no in-depth coverage of the song, as it was released well after the group's 1970s heyday and just before their brief resurgence in 1986 with remixed versions of their biggest hits. As it was a stand-alone single, there is no parent album to redirect to – I would be open to a redirect to The Real Thing (UK band), but with so many other songs called "We Got Love" by other artists and given the obscurity of this track, I wonder whether it would be worth it.

The result was soft delete. WP:REFUND applies. With 2 deletes and 1 weak keep, and a request being made to the original author for sources, I would go with a SoftDelete here. If someone feels terribly wronged, I'll undelete it without arguments. Lourdes 13:24, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This page fails WP:NSEASONS due to the fact that the team didn't play in the top tier of Myanmar football. I would also like to nominate these two pages for the fact that it might pass WP:NSEASONS with the team in that time being in the top league, the quality of the page is terrible.

  • Well, after reading WP:NSEASONS, I am not sure. It doesn't say Lower Leagues aren't notable; it says they may be notable depending on sources. I believe if there are enough fans coming here and start editing, then it can most likely meet notability criteria. For example, 2006–07 Juventus F.C. season is an article even though it's in lower league. WP:NSPORT says leagues in US states are notable. If we use that as a guide, the population of Naypyitaw exceeds many US States. They're some coverage on local newspaper. I am sure this article can meet notability criteria if someone is serious enough. But the problem is whether we'll have that one. 2100s (talk) 23:33, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
