• Keep - Lincoln's family is written about in depth in numerous sources, such as Neely, Mark E., and Harold Holzer. The Lincoln Family Album. Doubleday, 1990. and Lachman, Charles. The Last Lincolns: The Rise and Fall of a Great American Family. Sterling Publishing Company, 2008. The index of the later is visible to me on google books, here, and shows she is discussed on 23 pages. Neither of these are overly academic, but seem ok.

• Merge to an article on Descendants of Abraham Lincoln, along with other nominated family members (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Wallace Lincoln). bd2412 T 22:56, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Note that deletion arguments above ignore WP:NOTTEMPORARY. Lincoln descendants where a topic of intense public interest in the 20th century, widely covered in books and media. they do not lose notability merely because some editors find them uninteresting. Moreover, what WP:NOTINHERITED actually says is: "The fact of having a famous relative is not, in and of itself, sufficient to justify an independent article. Individuals in close, personal relationships with famous people (including politicians) can have an independent article even if they are known solely for such a relationship, but only if they pass WP:GNG." Available sourcing on Isham certainly passes GNG. Beware presentism! She was a national figure in my great-granddpapa's day. And those old sources continue to support notability, as do, of course, recent articles and books like those cited above by [[User:Smmurphy.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:36, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable "thing"— I don't even know how to categorize this. Not notable. KDS4444 (talk) 22:04, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'm not sure why this has been nominated for an AfD. It's an under-construction list of members of parliament nominated from the Anglo-Indian community. These seats are essentially equivalent to a constituency of India's lower house. --RaviC (talk) 22:10, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why isn't all of this going in the article on the Lok Sabha? It seems it belongs there if it belongs anywhere. An article under the title "Anglo-Indian reserved seats" sounds like it could be a bus— the title gives no context, and the concept, to the extent that it is real, belongs within some other article which WILL have a suitable context. Even a redirect from here seems wrong— the article's content could perhaps be merged into the one on the Lok Sabha, but this namespace needs to be deleted as nonsensical.

It's a list of members - it's far too long to be in the Lok Sabha article. If you think the name is misleading, it could be renamed to List of Nominated Anglo-Indians in the Lok Sabha. --RaviC (talk) 09:20, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Keep This is an obviously notable topic without question. As noted above this is equivalent to a constituency of the Lok Sabha.

• Keep It's certainly more difficult because of the common name, but I think he's fairly highly cited. It looks like B.F. Skinner and behaviorism in American culture is held in >800 libraries and Behaviorism and Logical Positivism has >400 GS citations. I see three more publications with >100 citations that look like they are his (one on Skinner and two on graphs and tables). Behaviorism and Logical Positivism was also reviewed in Isis by Ernest Hilgard, but I can't access the full text. There are also book reviews like this one, but I don't know how significant this journal is. EricEnfermero (Talk) 21:50, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:PROF#C1. I added three book reviews, so now at least the article has reliable independent sourcing for some of Smith's works. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:23, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Two reviews of one of his books hardly makes the subject notable under PROF. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:33, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• No, and I didn't say it did. It's three reviews of two books, not two of one, but it still wouldn't make the subject notable under PROF, and it's probably not enough even under WP:AUTHOR. What makes the subject notable under PROF is the high number of citations to his work. But in order to say something about that work here, we also need a sufficient depth of reliable sourcing. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:12, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• PS I just added a fourth review, by B. F. Skinner, one of the subjects of the book, who calls his book "a work of extraordinary scholarship". —David Eppstein (talk) 04:17, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep These national record articles are notable, as evidenced by the fact that virtually every other country has an article similar. (See template at bottom of page).

• See WP:OTHERSTUFF and WP:ALLORNOTHING. I strongly contest that every country in the world's records are notable. Saying that e.g. US national records carry the same weight as Equatoguinean records is simply ridiculous. This country doesn't even have records in a handful of the events listed in this article.

• Keep Meets WP:BROADCAST easily; on-air and broadcasting with a full schedule of programming. Nate • (chatter) 02:08, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• @Mrschimpf: How do you figure? It requires "either a large audience, established broadcast history, or unique programming" and I'm not seeing that here. That the station exists and broadcasts isn't enough. Chris Troutman (talk) 03:13, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• "Established broadcast history" is met by the fact that the station has been on the air since 1973 (as opposed to being a placeholder license that the company holds for a station that isn't actually transmitting), and "unique programming" (which means "unique" in the sense of "originating from the station's own studios", not in the sense of "radically innovative and creatively unprecedented") is fully shown here as well. Bearcat (talk) 17:00, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: There traditionally has been a presumed notability for most broadcast stations — as long as it is verifiably backed up by reliable sources. At the time of nomination, this article actually did, for certain, fail BCAST on that count — the only reference in the article at the time related to its affiliation with the St. Louis Cardinals Radio Network, and I don't think that's enough to get over the "needs sources" hump. (Whether or not we've been too lenient in general on the large audience, established broadcast history, or unique programming conditions over the years may well be another matter altogether.) However, I've expanded the article a bit so that there's more of a history of the station and also considerable more sourcing (and I also pruned some stuff about the station's prior owners that weren't necessarily relevant to KJEL itself); I can't guarantee that it will definitively save the article (i.e., if it sufficiently establishes any notability KJEL might have), but it's reasonably safe to say that no matter what past outcomes for broadcast station AfDs have suggested about broadcast station notability in general, sufficient sourcing is a must if an article is to survive an AfD. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:41, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Wcquidditch's improvements. Per WP:NMEDIA, a radio station is considered notable if it meets four conditions: (a) it has an FCC license, (b) it is actually in operation ("established broadcast history") and not just a construction permit that exists only on paper, (c) it actually originates at least some of its own standalone programming ("unique programming") rather than operating solely as a translator of another radio station, and (d) those three facts are reliably sourced. I'll grant that the article was weak and unreferenced at the time of nomination, but Wcquidditch has gotten it past all four conditions. Bearcat (talk) 17:00, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Are "In-universe" publications "sources" in the encyclopedia sense of the word? For example, my birth certificate is a primary source.

While he has been a lawyer, I haven't seen the in-depth coverage of him indicating that he has had some significant impact. And the political party he started is small enough that it hasn't a Wikipedia page, and I've seen no sign that it's gotten anyone elected to public office. -Nat Gertler (talk) 14:59, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Being the founder of a minor political party could potentially get him a Wikipedia article if that were the context the sources were covering him in — but as written, this is based on a mix of primary sources that cannot assist notability at all (his campaign committee's standard FEC filing, which doesn't assist notability since every candidate has one), WP:ROUTINE coverage in the context of unsuccessful election candidacies (and not enough of that to make him more notable than the norm on the basis of having received more coverage than every other unsuccessful candidate could always show), and some personal stuff that runs afoul of WP:PERP (criminal or malpractice allegations do not get a person into Wikipedia in and of themselves if they weren't already notable enough for an article independently of that.) None of the coverage here is about his role as founder of a political party per se, so he's not entitled to an automatic inclusion freebie on that basis just because it's been claimed — and none of what the media coverage is covering him for constitutes a notability claim at all, nor is any of that coverage contextually far enough beyond the purely local to satisfy WP:GNG on "just because media coverage exists" grounds. Bearcat (talk) 16:05, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• The topic here is a biography.  WP:ROUTINE is a notability guideline for events.  The policy for inclusion of sources is WP:Verifiability.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:37, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• While he may have been pointing to the wrong page, he is reflecting a practiced standard for dealing with notability among politicians, that the basic coverage that is generally given a candidate is not sufficient for notability in itself. You can see this reflected at WP:POLOUTCOMES, "Losing candidates for office below the national level who are otherwise non-notable are generally deleted". --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:00, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• ROUTINE is not a question of whether the Wikipedia article's subject is a person or an event; it's a question of the context in which the media coverage is being given. Note, for example, that ROUTINE includes examples such as paid-inclusion wedding notices and crime logs and "local person wins local award", which are types of "coverage" that pertain to people. Coverage of people, within the context of events that don't confer notability, does fall under ROUTINE, because ROUTINE is a measure of the context in which the subject's RS-verifiability is occurring, not just of what class of thing the article's base topic is. The notability guideline for "events" does not only speak to the notability or non-notability of an event as a topic of an event article — it does also speak to the inclusion-worthiness of people who were involved in the events, such as the ancient wikiwar about whether Wikipedia should maintain a standalone biography of every individual person who died in the 9/11 attacks just because The New York Times obituaried them all.

• Delete I don't think I have ever seen someone so totally not notable. He not only has never won any election, he seems to have never even won a nomination. That would not make him notable, but loosing nominations makes him even less so. In fact, he often doesn't make it to the primary because he can not get enough signatures on a petition. In one case he filled a petition with 1 signature. He is the extreme of non-notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:58, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Losing nominations does not cause someone to become less notable.  Your personal opinion of a topic is not what defines Wikipedia notability.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:37, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Competing for nominations does not cause somebody to become notable in the first place. Sure, losing a nomination contest wouldn't cause a person to become less notable than he already was — Yolande James did not lose her existing notability as a provincial legislator just because she lost a nomination to Emmanuella Lambropoulos when she tried to go federal — but what's lacking here is properly sourced evidence that Straw had any preexisting notability for any other reason in the first place. Bearcat (talk) 22:32, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and Salt. Not notable and unlikely to become notable. Power~enwiki (talk) 03:09, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I also agree the article should be salted, given the unwillingness by the author to ignore the requirements for acceptable articles. Kablammo (talk) 13:19, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Given the striking weakness of the arguments in this AfD, including the indirect evidence that there is sufficient significant coverage in reliable sources to satisfy GNG, a no consensus close here is still within bounds.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:37, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• The candidate clearly doesn't meet NPOL, and there's no other case presented for notability. The article describes him as an incompetent lawyer and an incompetent political candidate, and makes no other claims. Power~enwiki (talk) 15:49, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I won't argue too hard on this one, the depth of content that I was able to discover online as well as being WP:RS is probably just about what was covered here in this article. However, I would disagree and probably suggest that it's WP:STUB-worthy. One side note that I noticed is that the manufacturer has a pretty good niche for TV's on Amazon and Walmart under 20 inches (from personal observation). I think bringing to light the environmental concerns are important on this, seeing as folks probably aren't considering that when they see a cheapo $150 or less TV and probably do some basic research on the manufacturer before buying. In which case, it's definitely not a company which cares about environmental record, and I'd like to shine some light on it, but definitely is not all that transparent with their practices (no good sources to back up the article). And as an aside, I think it's a little amazing how a company can create a whole supply chain for TVs on Amazon and have virtually no history on itself besides marketing WP:PROMO.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaded0 (talk • contribs) 10:38, July 2, 2017 (UTC)

• Redirect per nom. less than 1800 people is not likely to be a notable group on it's own. Best dealt with in the wider topic. I realize not everyone in or from the wonderful country of the Bahamas is black, but nearly all are and we need to have topics that are discussed in RS. Posting at ANi is likely not going to get the support the article creator was looking for. I'd suggest merging material into the larger topic before this gets deleted or turned into a redirect. Legacypac (talk) 22:32, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Then let it get deleted, because you have pages with Aruban Americans and other groups that are very small but still exist. If this is going to go and the rest wont then let it be. I have not the time with the nonsense displayed in this community CreateBahamas (talk) 22:40, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep for now. The page creator is somewhat persuasive here. Looking at the other pages in the Nav box, there is a definite pattern and some useful info in each page. Yes the population is small but we can't expect tons of sources beyond statistics. Perhaps we should consider these pages as a group. If they are not individually suitable, grouping the info together into a bigger page may make some sense. At least this page answers the question - how many Bahamians are in the UK? Legacypac (talk) 04:48, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• The population figures are already reported in the articles British African-Caribbean people and Foreign-born population of the United Kingdom. Are they the sort of pages that you have in mind, Legacypac? It's worth noting that other AfDs about very small immigrant groups, where there is no material beyond population size, have resulted in deletion. See, for example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Djiboutians in the United Kingdom, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Djiboutian Americans, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Djiboutians in the Netherlands, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dutch people in France, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Austrians in France, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Croats in the United Kingdom, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Indonesian British, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/British Dominicans, etc. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:53, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Cordless Larry, you are obviously on top of the issue. The fact you nominated some of those pages should satisfy the User:CreateBahamas their page is not being targeted specially. I'd prefer to be a grouped nom of the other similar pages in the nav.box so they can be considered together. I'd support deletion of the group and will mildly support this deletion as a one off since we are here. Legacypac (talk)

I have done grouped AfDs for these types of articles in the past, Legacypac, and the response from commenters has generally been that the articles should be nominated individually. However, that was probably because I wasn't discriminating enough in what I grouped together. I will have another go when I get time. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:09, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Some of these are a waste of space. This one just crosses the line I think. How is this: If there is a consulate or embassy (updated in article, as Albania has 2), if there is an official ministerial visit and photo, if there are treaties (Australia has bilat treaties with only 79 countries or so -not too many), AND if the article is longer than a paragraph then keep the article ...Supcmd (talk) 21:43, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Australia was involved in the War in Albania, Australians are buried there. 4000 Albanians were evacuated to Australia. There are lots of ties. I really don't know why people are so keen on deleting these articles, clearly it means something to some people, perhaps there could be more info put in them, I might try myself. Without these "xxx-yyy relations", it is a pain to edit the "foreign relations of ..." articles as you duplicate info after a while. Someone with sense, and I say this humbly, needs to consider that these articles, as mentioned above, that bring the world together are a good thing. Why delete them? Especially like this one - there are enough useful fact that makes it worthwhile.Supcmd (talk) 13:06, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

they're not full consulates. 27000 Australians died in WWII so these 6 that died represent 0.02% of the deaths. LibStar (talk) 14:18, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Honorary consuls have much lower status than proper consuls. http://www.hunconsulate.com/faq/honorary-career-consul-difference.html LibStar (talk) 14:37, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

where does it say they are not full consulates? They are fully accredited consulates-general, and appropriately recognised in accordance with the Vienna convention. Albania is .03% of the world, and the soldiers account for about 10% of soldiers listed in Tirana, so the numbers are proportionally significant. Supcmd (talk) 19:55, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

since you like to talk about proportionally significant. Bilateral trade is USD3 million. Australia's total trade is USD390 billion, so trade with Albania represents a very insignificant 0.0007%. LibStar (talk) 20:53, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Honorary consuls have limited authorization to act and conduct on behalf of their native country and they usually do not have diplomatic passports, do not enjoy diplomatic immunity and do not have preferential tax treatment. LibStar (talk) 19:59, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Career consuls are authorized to basically conduct all kind of diplomatic matters and services. They are holders of diplomatic passports, do enjoy diplomatic immunity and do have preferential tax treatment in their accredited countries. There is a big difference. LibStar (talk) 20:05, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

the deaths account for 0.02% of all Australians fighting in WWII, please tell me 0.02% is actually significant. If there was an election and someone got 0.02% vote that would be considered very insignificant. LibStar (talk) 19:59, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

now the article is being padded out with visa details... we don't include these in bilateral articles. LibStar (talk) 20:47, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• I think the case is strong - this is a valuable article now, and would be deemed so in the assessment of a reasonable reader, and recommend the deletion request be removed. It lists 2 fully accredited consulates, visa information, state ministerial visits, world war 2 and soldiers lost (accounting for 10% of graves/memorials in Tirana the main allied war cemetery there), a court case in the Federal court involving the Albanian Government, covering the extradition of an Albanian prisoner, Australia's assistance with the refugee situation in Albania. If this is not a significant article then we would end up deleting most of Wikipedia ... Supcmd (talk) 21:04, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

let's see it:

• no embassies but 2 Honorary' consulates that do not have full diplomatic status. If it was so important why doesn't Australia set up an embassy?
• level of trade is 0.0007% of Australia's total trade. In other words if trade ended tomorrow it would have no noticeable effect on the Australian economy.
• No visits ever between national leaders
• only one treaty
• the Australian federal court deals with hundreds of cases a year with foreign citizens . It's hardly majorly adding to relations
• 0.02% of all Australians killed in WWII were killed in Albania. Statistically very small.
• visa information adds zero to notability. You either need or don't need visa to visit a country.

Indeed - Australia did not play any significant part in the fighting in Albania during World War II (Australia's contribution to the air war over the Balkans was limited to Australians posted to British units, and occasional strikes by the two Australian fighter squadrons stationed in Italy - both groups were operating under British control, with the Australian Government having virtually no say in how they were used). As for this content, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission provides similar, and superior, information in its excellent online database. Nick-D (talk) 07:35, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I do agree that many bilateral relations articles are not worth keeping, but the premise for nominating this one is flawed. There are many bilateral relations articles that are well worth keeping where the countries have not exchanged emissaries and indeed where even there are no formal diplomatic relations, and minimal trade. For example, I doubt anyone would suggest that US-Cuba relations or UK-North Korean relations were not notable before they re-established ambassadorial relations. Deleting this on that basis sets a bad precedent. Bilateral articles should be deleted where the two countries basically have nothing to do with one another, and I think this particular case makes it over the line from that base level. In fact, as a diverse, multicultural, liberal immigrant nation, for Australia people-to-people contacts are a hugely significant part of its external relations, and I would suggest that as a rule of thumb Australia's relations with any country which has contributed a substantial number of immigrants to Australia is prima facie notable. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 13:39, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

consensus is well established that hostile relations are notable for bilateral articles. In this case the only aspect of note is already covered in Albanian Australians. LibStar (talk) 13:49, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bilateral articles should be deleted where the two countries basically have nothing to do with one another no you're inventing your own criteria. Having some relations does not guarantee notability. LibStar (talk) 13:49, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - seems very thin, and reminds me of the discussion for Bahamian British, also under deletion review. There would be over 37,000 articles if we tried to pair every country up, and without significant evidence that relations are covered with any regularity in the press, this fails WP:GNG. Also should look at this one. Albania–Australia bilateral treaties. TimTempleton ^{(talk) (cont)} 19:27, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In a world where we are so close to war, where countries are are holding animosity to others, these Wikipedia articles are amongst the most important pieces on the Internet, I feel. It draws countries together through showing the cooperation, shared history etc. 1 graveyard with Australian war veterans is a small bit of history. But it shows the respect for Albanians to Australians after they fought in war. I agree 37,000 is a lot - but hopefully we are no where near that number. I agree with notability guidelines. This article, to a reasonable reader has points of note. Nowhere on the Internet will you find all this information in one place. The extradition case as described above, for example could make its own article (an escaped convict made a life in Australia and claimed mistaken identity), but is better served here (as the Australian, Albanian govts worked together in the Australian Federal court). There is a very good reason why there is no consensus on criteria for deleting these articles. Because not everyone agrees in the wholesale purge of these articles. Maybe in 50 years there will be lots of these. Hopefully by then we will have cheaper storage and better indexing, but for now keep it, because in 50 years it will eventually find its way back in, with more and more notability. We are moving to a world of more information not less. If there are debates on content, save them for the article not the delete page.Supcmd (talk) 21:43, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails GNG. No evidence found of the notability of this trail. No independent sources found that use the name. John Fox put a route together out of several existing trails and decided to call it the New England Traverse. See the discussion of a talk about that says "Mr. Fox discussed his self-devised route consisting of the Appalachian Trail, the Long Trail and the Long Path" https://www.facebook.com/events/1391455547789631/. The two sources in the article consist of a magazine article by Mr Fox, and a blog posting by Mr Fox. Very likely a COI article since it was created by an SPA who is only interested in John Fox and the trail. Meters (talk) 05:35, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Response[edit]

Article is referenced by multiple third party independent sources and is in no way in violation of a COI. "A Self Devised Route" has no bearing on the justification of the third party references and sources. Furthermore this page is about a trail and not about any individual or group of individuals.

Comment. I found this being discussed here: https://www.drehscheibe-online.de/foren/read.php?17,4264616 I'm not into locomotives, so I cannot comment much on notability, but apparently there are some folks out there who do find it historically notable enough to still discuss the topic. Given that interests are diverse and Wikipedia is for anyone, not just Joe Average, and because I find it important to preserve reliable information about historical topics (there's a lot that can be learnt from them also for present and future topics), and because there is clearly no commercial interest in such topics, I tend to suggest to keep rather than delete such topics.

Nearly incomprehensible article about non-notable blogger. Not every blogger is notable. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:19, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - This is worth a closer look from someone familiar with the challenges of sourcing Indian content. 400,000,000+ views and 3.3 million subscribers strongly suggests that there's something going on here. Sources now included in the article support the existence of a large following and lasting impact. This article describes him as "India's fastest growing YouTube star" who is surrounded by fans when he goes to Starbucks, and it quotes Tanmay Bhat of All India Bakchod as saying he's "making a killing" because of the low cost of production on his videos.

• Delete If I hadn't seen the !vote above, I would have speedied as a test page. Notable or not, there isn't even enough for a draft here, let alone an article Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:40, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It did look like a test page. I've reverted it back so that it's at least readable. The article seems like it's been a recurring target of test-edits and other problems. BB Ki Vines is create-protected, and if this is kept (which is a big if), the article should probably be moved to Bhuvan Bham anyway. Grayfell (talk) 20:27, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Hindustan Times says Bhuvan Bam is a household name in the country of 1.3 billion. [6] His youtube channel 'BB Ki Vines' was awarded most popular channel award at WebTV Asia Awards 2016,[7] so might be among the most popular onlines faces in Asia (if not the most popular). He is India's most subscribed youtuber,[8] and also the most fastest growing (mentioned above by User:Grayfell). Many articles/interviews of him are present online HT 1, HT 2, India Today and many more, enough to pass WP:GNG. Pratyush (talk) 04:52, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See film notability guidelines. This film is unreleased, although its production has been completed. A film that has not yet been released is only considered notable if its production is itself notable. There is nothing in this article that indicates that the production is notable. Therefore this article is promotional. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:02, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: This film has released in Pakistan. Here are some reviews.
• The News International

• The Express Tribune

• Dawn

Some coverage on the film's box-office performance:

• Daily Pakistan

These are sufficient for WP:NFILMS and WP:GNG. --Skr15081997 (talk) 13:03, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – Meets WP:NFP ([9], [10], [11], [12]) and the film has been released. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:09, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: GNG and NFILM now meet, and I would suggest that Robert withdraw his AFD because BEFORE has failed. KGirlTrucker81 ^{huh? what I've been doing} 03:40, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - I mostly agree now. At this point, it needs tagging rather than deleting. As the article now stands, it still doesn't satisfy film notability, but can be fixed with the addition of Pakistani film reviews. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:22, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect (that is to say, move) to an article about the accident itself, adjusting the content to reflect this. WP:SOLDIER, while only an essay, is a very sensible approach to take that prevents Wikipedia from being over-populated by biographies of non-notable members of the world's military bodies. Exemplo347 (talk) 09:28, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Jack is not really noteworthy for a stand-alone article, also oppose an article on the accident as this has recently been created and then redirected to Prince George, Duke of Kent where the notability lies and already deals with the accident. MilborneOne (talk) 17:21, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As the Nominator, I second Milbornes solution for re-direct to the Duke of York article, which already has fair coverage of the crash.--Petebutt (talk) 05:17, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename to August 1942 Dunbeath Air Crash (or similar). As the article seems to be mostly about the crash, which is notable in its own right per WP:AIRCRASH] and the amount of detail would be WP:UNDUE in the Prince George, Duke of Kent, article, I would suggest transforming it into an article about the crash. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:15, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  If the AfD closes with a consensus for what we've suggested (the move & content adjustment) then I'd appreciate a ping from the closing Admin because I don't think it'd take me a lot of effort to make the appropriate changes. Exemplo347 (talk) 02:04, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  I am endorsing this solution, per Icewhiz, which I believe is in line with WP:PRESERVE, as the crash passes WP:AIRCRASH Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:17, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename to August 1942 Dunbeath Air Crash (or similar). Remove most Andrew Jack material (which as it is - is not the major part of the article), while mentioning he was the sole survivor, add air-crash template instead of bio. The crash itself was highly notable - and the article as it is is essentially about the crash and not Jack.Icewhiz (talk) 12:43, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
