• Delete Purely promotional article with no reliable sources to establish notability. The references presented currently are primary sources, actually most are leading to the website of the subject. Xaxing (talk) 07:25, 1 March 2018 (UTC) striking blocked sock puppet Atlantic306 (talk) 17:40, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Certainly the article seems to be out of date and lack the type of context that would make it really useful to a Wikipedia user. It also needs some better sources.

That said, I would suggest that it meets our notability criteria as one of the two EAM solutions (along with Infor EAM) in the "Leaders" quadrant of the Gartner 2017 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Asset Management. My opinion is that for software, placement in a Gartner MQ listing for several years (since 2011 at least for Maximo) equates to "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". If we have more specific criteria for software, feel free to link to them.

I think a rewrite or quick edit from a knowledgable person (not me) could improve the article a great deal. A good place to start might be to pull a copy of a couple of industry analyst reports and write up the pros and cons as determined by these outside observers. Right now, I don't see the type of copy/paste or peacock words signs that usually appear on blatant spam. Also of note, this WP article has been around for 13 years.

• Comment - When I started editing here, it was a draft, and someone just had placed a tag to move it on mainspace then, giving a source to Josh Gad's announcement. After few days, a reviewer moved it on the basis of "film production has been started". I remember I removed the redirect links for it from some other pages too.

Here, I have added some sources that say that the voice actors have been recording for their roles; including Bell for Anna, Gad for Olaf and Groff for Kristoff. So I don't think deleting this page would be good, however, the production section in the page may be too long and may have some unnecessary details too. But if this is still too soon, then please move it back to the draftspace for some more workout on it, until per above mentioned source. Thanks! M. Billoo 07:14, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete - I find a few results searching google news, they are a bit bloggy and not really about Dilsaver but about how his book's inspired the blogs author. Results on google books are also mostly about his book and are passing. Neither of these sets of results give anything that would show the subject has enough coverage to write an article that passes NPOV concerns, especially given the promotional nature of the article and of the coverage. Smmurphy^(Talk) 20:37, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep - Maintain as secondary reference supported. All claims have references that have been previously verified.

The claim to notability is the Catholic Pontifical University of America's stating in its review of his work that they consider him "the father of Christian psychology" ^{[1] [2]} His work has been critiqued as the first truly Thomistic psychology by ^[3].

International recognition: ^[4]

and ^[5] His book was chosen and endorsed among the very few books offered with membership from this prestigious international organization.

Dilsaver also has a full page on his work in the introduction to the definitive english edition of ^{[6] [7]}

• Possible keep -- The list of publications is not a long one. However the claim that he is regarded as "father of Christian psychology" (if true) ought to be enough to merit keeping this. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:30, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@DGG: Which reliable sources are the reliable ones? Are there some that aren't listed here? The introduction to two book about John Paul II's theology cites an article Dilsaver wrote about JPIIs TOB, but the coverage hardly amounts to a page and is not about Dilsaver himself. The Catholic Herald article is in the section, "Comments & Blogs", and is a book review, again not about the individual. "Father of Christian psychology" seems to be cited to PR blurbs, and I can't find an independent source that says anything like that. The book that is supposedly the basis of this claim, "Imago Dei Psychotherapy", gets next to no hits on google scholar, etc. Smmurphy^(Talk) 17:06, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I've reviewed all the sources; 1&2 are self-promotional; 3 is an article about a book he wrote, probably the best source; 4&5 discuss his writings in the introduction of another book; 6 is a link to when he was on television; and 7 is a link to what appears to be a place to purchase a lecture he gave. An additional source search is largely promotional or lecture-based. I'm reviewing this as a WP:AUTHOR claim since his notability seems to be about the books he's written, and this isn't satisfied under any of the four prongs of WP:AUTHOR. Simply not notable per our guidelines. SportingFlyer (talk) 22:28, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• On the contrary, All the sources? Or all the sources listed above? When searching Google scholar search various forms of the author's name yielded seven unique citations, searching Imago Dei Psychotherapy yielded­ four more additional unique cites, and searching imago Dei and Dilsaver yielding four more unique additional cites for a total of 15. "Father of Christian Psychology," is a direct quote from the academic press of the Catholic University of America, a singular independent source able to stand alone due to its authority.23:26, 28 February 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Galvin (talk • contribs)

All the sources in the article, as you could have figured out easily by the summary. As you note, I can find his thesis very easily on Google Scholar, but I only see a couple other citations searching "G.C. Dilsaver" which wouldn't get him anywhere near academic notability, much less WP:AUTHOR. SportingFlyer (talk) 01:19, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1 and 2 are clearly not "self-promotional" but a statement of a mostly highly prestigious academic publisher. The following is an example of a cursory search, and it must be noted that within certain circles (i.e., conservative Catholic ones) the following non-secular or non-mainstream sites are held in high esteem and authority:

• Comment Thank you for providing more sources... I've looked through all of the ones you provided, but I still don't think he qualifies under WP:AUTHOR. WP:AUTHOR 4 clearly does not apply. For 3, none of his writings would be considered significant enough to be on Wikipedia, so that's out. For 2, he may have created a new concept or theory, but again, I'm missing the significance piece. Which leads us to 1, but here's actually where Google scholar is insightful: in none of your searches do we get past the first page of results. For academics or for people who influence academic works, I'd expect this to be in at least the hundreds. I'll walk away from this discussion now. SportingFlyer talk 19:03, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment If his writings have deemed him to be the "father of Christian psychology" by the Catholic University of America, it should be considered significant enough. Expectations for that number of citations applies to medical or financially lucrative empirical science research, which are both well funded and highly populated. The field of Christian psychology, Christian humanities, or conservative gender studies is neither funded nor well populated, but within these sub-disciplines the author is highly cited.John Galvin (talk) 23:06, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Neutral There seems to be some mention of his opinions in Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body which can be considered as coverage in independent sources, although I am yet to find some particular article or news or a book chapter, totally dedicated to him. Excelse (talk) 10:21, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Using a book blurbs to source anything, especially a grandiose claim that someone is the "father" of a whole field of inquiry, is absolutely ridiculous. In addion, GScholar indicates that the works of Dilsaver have been ignored almost completely, with hardly any citations at all. According to GScholar, the "seminal work" Imago Dei Psychotherapy has been cited a grand total of 3 (three) times since it was published 9 years ago. Even if we follow the count posted above concluding that there were 15 citations, that's woefully short of showing any notability at all. "Seminal works" make an impact, they get cited hundreds of times and are the subject of third party discussion and in-depth reviews. This is a promotional puff piece (note the proud mention of this WP bio on his Amazon author page. Fails every notability guideline by a mile. --Randykitty (talk) 11:37, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per the nom and Randykitty a seminal academic work that has been around since 2009 and barely been cited seems not to point to notability as an author or academic. His notability seems to be limited also the rather pompous unattributed title (considered by many) father of christian psychology coined in a publicity blurb on a bookseller's page probably as a means of boosting the sales does not help. Dom from Paris (talk) 18:27, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment “A publicity blurb on a bookseller's page probably as a means of boosting the sales does not help.” If it this were a statement by Harvard or Yale or MIT it is doubtful you would say this. But within the Catholic academic circles the Pontifical Catholic University of America Academic Press is not considered a “bookseller” but a highly prestigious authority. One would think the pejorative bias and ad hominen references should discount, if not disqualify, the most recent “delete” comments, as well as a couple of the previous ones.

• Again, as per citations, comparing the author's philosophical and theological works to mainstream academics, especially those of the highly funded medical and empirical sciences (which is the bulk of Google Scholar content) is not applicable. The author's sub-disciplines are relatively quite small, and more so quite counter-status quo; as such the citations are more than adequate.

• Totally discounting the author's notability regardless of commendatory commentary from such esteemed Catholics or institutions such as Kenneth Baker or Daniel n. Robinson or the London Catholic Herald or EWTN or the page dedicated to his writings in John Paul II The Theology of the Body; A New Translation Based on the John Paul II Archives Translation, Index, and Introduction by Michael Waldstein, or the University of St. Thomas or the many other non-institutional, but still highly respected, populist citations smacks of a certain sectarian elitism, even anti-Catholicism.

• Finally, none of my assertions have been addressed, much less disproved. Instead in support of “delete” only assertion of arbitrary “expectations” or implicit motivations or inapplicable comparisons have been offered.John Galvin (talk) 04:51, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unless I am very much mistaken John Galvin judging by your user name you have a very close connection to the Catholic University of America who is selling his book on their web site. Regardless of your opinion of this organisation (which is probably right) it is still selling this book for $50 on their page and the "father of christian psychology" is unattributed and here on Wikipedia it is known as a weasel word.

• Keep - I have to say Keep on this one. Yes sources are not great but still sufficient to prove at least notability at the right side of the threshold for inclusion. Any other concern is covered by WP:NEXIST.BabbaQ (talk) 22:50, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete there is absolutely nothing here to say that this painter is notable. All coverage is routine and very low quality. There are about four barely acceptable sources, and by that I mean that they just barely qualify as sources. The majority of the coverage is interview-style and promotional in nature. Fails all notability tests, and especially WP:ARTIST on all counts.104.163.148.25 (talk) 03:41, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Dennis Bratland has already been giving a good rationale why WP:ARTIST. Appears you ignore sourced gallery solo shows.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:07, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

YES! I'm glad you mentioned those. Let's talk about the "solo shows"

• The first solo show listed was at Bungalow 5, a furniture store. The "review" used as a source looks a lot like a paid advertisement or press release copy, as the review author has written over 15,000 articles for that publication. Wait-- look at the url: it is artnews.conteart.com, not artnews.com. Anyway, let's continue...
• Next up is "The Hitchcock Kiss" at QF Gallery in the Hamptons. According to their site, which they have in all caps, "QUATTLEBAUM FORETICH GALLERY IS A CURATORIAL PROGRAM, ORIGINALLY HOUSED IN A HISTORIC HOME IN EAST HAMPTON FROM 2012-2014. CURRENTLY THE GALLERY EMPLOYS A MOVABLE, SHIFTING MODEL OF SPECIAL PROJECTS THAT FEATURE EMERGING AND ESTABLISHED ARTISTS, ARCHITECTS, CURATORS AND DESIGNERS." So it was a temporary gallery in the Hamptons. Ok...
• Number three is a claimed solo show at the reputable Able fine Art Gallery NY. I see a few low-quality sources for this, so it might actually be verifiable. And Finally,
• the last show at "untitled gallery" specifically says that she was featured in a group show.

In summary, this is just an exaggerated list of very very average shows that do more to prove she is not notable than they do to prove she is. You do not have to be much of a successful artist to get shows like these. 104.163.148.25 (talk) 11:48, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ARTIST does not say one is notable once they have three solo shows. If it did, every Sunday painter who showed in tiny Cafes or popup galleries would be notable. Also, the claim that a significant profile in "highbrowmagazine.com" helps is just plain weak. 104.163.148.25 (talk) 20:20, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are not reading the guidelines right. If an artist has had solo shows a guideline doesnt have to specify that exactly three soli shows are notable. Possibly nitpicking on your part.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:07, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Solo shows in notable art museums are evidence of notability, but solo shows in non-notable commercial galleries are not, since putting on such shows is their business. I do not consider Highbrow Magazine to be a reliable source for establishing notability of an artist, and this coverage looks like the product of a public relations campaign. Interviews do not establish notability because that coverage is not independent. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:16, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why even put yourself in a position of having to defend a discussion notification? By appearances it's indistinguishable from votestacking. Out of hundreds of thousands of editors, two individuals. Isn't it sufficient that this discussion was listed on multiple arts and women related alerts? It seems unlikely an insufficient number of art or women topic experts have been notified, or that these two select individuals don't monitor any of the alerts here.

It's too bad you don't seem to be able to understand why the appearance of votestacking is a problem. If you can find more conventional ways of altering interested groups of discussions like this, I think you'll see see less drama and a smoother process. Pinging editors by name pointlessly and needlessly creates an atmosphere of suspicion. If you believe Wikipedia can't make sound consensus decisions without two specific experts, then how can you support the idea of such a project at all? The whole thing is built with the collective wisdom of hundreds of thousands of people, not two indispensable experts.

These repeated assertions without evidence, "I'm fair minded because I say so", "It's not canvassing because I say so", "This gallery is insignificant because I say so", "That magazine is insignificant because I say so." Any old editor is capable of making unsupported assertions, "because I say so". It's not convincing. And why should we even have to be having this spat? Use normal AfD alterts, post neutral notifications on interested noticeboards and not hand-picked users, and all this trouble is avoided. It makes no sense why you would insist on this.

Yes, BabbaQ, and Dennis Bratland, I was pinged but I had no idea whatsoever how I would respond until I took a sincere look at the article and the available sources. Do either of you have any evidence that I am somehow biased regarding this topic? If I truly thought that this artist was notable at this time, I would fight to keep the article by improving it and adding sources. I am personally aware of at least half a dozen women artists with longer and better established careers that I do not consider notable enough at this point. Consider me an inclusionist philosophically who also believes in enforcing our notability standards and opposing rampant promotionalism. I wish this artist the best and hope that she will be universally considered notable as her career progresses. But not yet. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:22, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I have to say that the WIR brigade (which I support and contribute to at times) is being taken in if they think this is a notable artist. This is just an artist who has taken some marketing classes and knows how to get her name and profile into a few middling publications. In short, she is trying to make a living in a digital world. That marketing might involve work as a voice actress, selling art on Saatchionline along with a hundred thousand others, publishing a book on Amazon about her artist friends, doing an interview with Luxurious Prototype, the online men's luxury magazine or KDHamptons, the Luxury Lifestyle Diary of the Hamptons, or getting a semi-decent profile in Grand Piano Passion, a magazine devoted to poeple with a passion for grand pianos. I do hope that editors can see the difference between this kind of coverage and, say, inclusion in permanent collections, exhibitions in reputable galleries and museums, and of course independent reporting and interest by good news sources. Wikipedia certainly has a problem with the dearth of articles on women. However that is not going to be helped by promoting truly non-notable persons on the thinnest of rationales as is happening above.104.163.148.25 (talk) 20:20, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1) "WIR brigade" is the kind of ad hominem that says a lot more about you, and your agenda, than it does about anyone else. 2) There are uncounted hundreds of thousands of articles about privileged topics -- whites, men, westerners, recent topics, easily-located online topics, English language topics, etc -- as discussed in Wikipedia:Systemic bias, and they have not been subjected to anywhere near sufficient scrutiny. The number of borderline-notable or non-notable male artist bio articles numbers in the thousands, if not tens of thousands. If a group trying to correct systemic bias, like WIR, happens to succeed in keeping a handful of borderline notable articles about women, it pales in comparison to the many thousands of articles that will never even be nominated for deletion, or will be scrutinized only after several years have passed, for the simple reason that there are so many of them. In short, why not focus on whether this topic is or is not notable, and leave all the other baggage for another noticeboard? --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:23, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know that some women feminists call each other hags? CLaiming ad hoiminem is really off base, if you knwo what the latin translation is. It's an attack on a person, not a group. And, speaking as a contributor to the work of "WIR brigade", I did not mean it as an slight, as is clear by my other comments. I actually meant it as a kind of compliment, since if you follow their talk page, it is indeed a bit like a fire brigade. The point was the "WIRB" occasionally promotes non-notable subjects simply because they are women. Not often, but sometimes. I'm sorry you took it as anything else.104.163.148.25 (talk) 07:17, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• I know it's time to let this go, but attacking this woman for the crime of self-promotion is so trite. Nobody minds when men are ambitious and self-promoting, but when women do it, they're attacked. One study described it as ambitious men being seen as "being more assertive, stronger, and tougher" while ambitious women were targets of "moral outrage (i.e., contempt, anger, and/or disgust)". Do we scrutinize every bio about a person who wrote good things about themselves on Linkedin.com? We're now skeptical of every painter who tries to sell their paintings? It's laughable. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:58, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is not attack on the artist, and indeed no attack. The issue is about supporting the inclusion of very marginally notable subjects with the intent of correcting systematic bias, as DGG sums it up nicely near the end of this discussion.104.163.148.25 (talk) 07:17, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete per Cullen328 and the COI issues. While I agree with Megalibrarygirl that there might be adequate notability, we don't have the source quality to quite get there yet.

Montanabw^(talk) 21:53, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. An presumably promotional article about a very minor artist. There isn;t even any indication she is more than an amateur trying to sell her work. The criterion for WP:CREATIVE is significant critical discussion independent sources, or (if pertinent) works in the permanent collection of major museums, or both. She works in a genre which museums would collect if she were notable. There are no critical stud--the Art News item is a trivial review of a show, and the others are either not independent, such as a show brochure--which is always written by the artist of the artist's publicist-- or not in any conceivable sense reliable in this subject.Interviews are not independent sources for notability. Conceivably she may ecome notable, but not now. DGG ( talk ) 05:25, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We need more coverage of women artists. There are thousands of notable ones that are not yet covered, and those are the ones to write.

If the rhetoric by the IP and Dennis Brantland had not occurred, and the repeated accusations of canvassing made by you and Dennis had not occurred, I would not have felt to call on another administrator for additional clarity, but because of all that noise on this AfD, I felt that the administrator with the most experience with AfDs of any admin (and an ArbCom member to boot) would bring a careful eye to the matter. -- Softlavender (talk) 09:16, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Contacting specific admins or editors are suspicious. And why contact these specific editors in particular.

anyone who is certain of what I will do in a marginal case will often be disappointed.

DGG ( talk ) 05:25, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not accusing you DGG. I am simply stating that contacting three editors about one AfD is canvassing in my opinion. The result Delete, Delete, Weak Keep is also quite telling but that is on you guys. I leave it at that. --BabbaQ (talk) 10:38, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just as it is not accusing me , it should not be taken as accusing anyone who asks me to look at anything of bias. If anyone does ask me for such a reason, they are likely to be disappointed, and the editor who asked is experienced enough here to know that. I have specifically said, and now say again, that what I am interested in is borderline AfDs and I will be grateful for anyone who notifies me of one. Recently, I've been increasingly likely just to clarify the matters at issue and not !vote. But to Softlavendar and anyone else, admins do not get extra votes atAfDs, and arbs most certainly not; the relevant factor in asking someone here is that the person asked is aware of the issues and able to explain them,and consequently might be helpful in coming to some conclusion. DGG ( talk ) 05:25, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So if all three highly experienced administrators had !voted "Strong Keep" you would not have made these accusations (repeated nine times so far)? That is what is "quite telling". Softlavender (talk) 10:46, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please substantiate, providing diffs and exact quotations, how I am engaging in "battleground mentality". It is you who have made accusations of canvassing, repeated at least nine times, and repeatedly insinuated that requests for input were non-neutral or skewed, when in fact I've explained over and over why and how they were not. It seems that your real objection is that three neutral, highly experienced and highly respected administrators who specialize in AfD, and two out of three of whom specialize in AfD WP:RESCUE of articles on artists/women, did not !vote in exact sync with you. Softlavender (talk) 11:30, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A person can be fair and honest, and still be predictable. A random group of respected and neutral admins is going to give a much different result than a hand-picked group of respected and neutral admins. People have personalities, and when you know them well you can guess which ones you'd call on in a specific case. Of course they're all going to say they are totally fair. You can say you had no intentions of stacking the vote. But when you invite hand-picked editors to a discussion, that's canvassing. It looks bad. Outsiders have no idea whether to believe anyone when they affirm passionately that they are totally fair and neutral. You know who else says that? Biased people say that, too. It's meaningless. But an outside observer isn't going to have that problem in a discussion where the usual broadcast noticeboard notifications were followed, and nobody is known to have been invited by name. You can be deny having any bad intentions as vehemently as you want, but you can't shake the taint of illegitimacy that comes with canvassing.

Anyone who as been canvassed should ignore it. Going and !voting and then saying "You can trust me! You can trust me!" in a louder and louder voice doesn't remove the cloud of illegitimacy that comes with canvassed votes. You can't fix it just by saying "Don't worry" because when your objectivity is in doubt, saying "I'm objective" merely begs the question. You have to step back and let Wikipedia's crazy process run without any thumbs on the scale. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 16:30, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct Dennis Bratland. The mentioned editors can claim to be as objective as they like. The problem is that they !voted after being pinged and talk page contacted to come here and !vote. That they say "You can trust me" seems kind of hollow. Anyway the closing user will see this and probably put very little weight to the canvassed !votes.BabbaQ (talk) 17:15, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. COI promotional article on a non-notable young artist with no significance at present and who fails WP:ARTIST by a long shot. To quote the second sentence of the Highbrow interview: "A staple on the New York social scene, Connor has spent years cultivating a reputation as a philanthropist, feminist, fashion icon and muse." This wiki article seems to be another attempt at cultivating an image -- as a significant artist. There is nothing about her art that is remarkable, and the very weak sourcing shows it. The fact that during the Trump era she has done some political-based works and thus cultivated some mentions does not change that. (PS: I said above I was unprepared to !vote in this AfD but the more I look into it, the more I agree with others: this is not a significant artist and we should not have self-promotional articles on non-notable artists.)

• Delete Not notable. Le Lapin Vert (talk) 17:34, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment there's another general issue here. We have many relatively uncovered subjects in need of editors. Sometimes the lack of coverage is due to systematic bias. It is very important that people here try to correct it. The way to do so is to write articles on the most important uncovered people (or whatever), not on those people who one happens to notice or happens to have some personal interest in. Trying to write articles on people in such a field who are not notable does not help our coverage, but actively harms it--it encourages the misperception that other people in the field are likely to be also non-notable. If someone wants to try to decrease our coverage of some general topic, they can do so effectively by trying to write articles on obviously unencycopedic representatives of the subject. I'm not sure everyone interested in systematic bias is aware of the harm that trying to write and especially trying to defend borderline and non-notable topics in the area can do.

People look and should look at well-attended AfDs to try to understand what is actually wanted here--they are the best guide to current practice. Ir's therefore a good occasion to make a related comment that would give some explicit guidance. It has to do with this and related situations in all projects, formal and informal. I encounter it most with people trying to make articles in the faculty of a department: they start with the ones they know, or, if a publicist, with the recently appointed, instead of starting with the most notable. If they did it from the top, they would be much less likely to even be suspected of promotionalism. DGG ( talk ) 19:09, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like a proposal that could be discussed over at the WikiProject council, or at someplace like Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red. Until something changes, it is considered legitimate and within guidelines for projects dealing with systemic bias to maintain alert lists for AfDs for any topic within scope, with no consideration for which are the most or least notable. An anti-bias project's work doesn't mean there is an excuse for canvassing, or for pointy attempts to target a specific article because of unrelated animosity to certain projects or their members' activities.

This is where we end up as soon as we stray from the basic question: is or isn't this notable? Focusing on the article creator's possible COI motives, the motives of the participants, allowing canvassing to become an issue by inviting editors by name, criticizing WikiProject activities... How do you see through all that and judge the topic alone? It's too late to undo once we've wallowed in this mud long enough. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:21, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete. I've spent the last week watching this conversation progress, since this was listed in the Visual Arts AfDs, and have spent way too much time trekking through the references and exhibitions. It is a tough one, and I understand why people are falling on both sides. I don't think she passes WP:ARTIST, but she might pass WP:GNG. As Artist: IP editor 104.163.148.25 has read the exhibitions correctly (except The Untitled Space exhibitions did "include “Flora/Fauna”, a solo show of works by the artist revolving around nature" per the page). The problem is that with the possible exception of The Untitled Space, none of those of galleries are notable. The Untitled Space has had a substantial press footprint, but for hot-topic group shows (this press focuses on the theme and curatorial work, not the individual artists). The only WP:RS in the bibliography is White Hot, and probably Arte Fuse, but the rest are pretty junky. I have seen much more reliable sources discounted here at AfD. I did some looking on her acting career, and it seems like none of them are speaking parts. There are three results in Google for Grumbacher Gold Medallion Painting Prize from other people's CV, and none in OneSearch, so I can't even prove the prize itself exists. I will say that licensing your work, per [10] is totally normal, and not a problem. I think User:Cullen328 is right that it is WP:TOOSOON and maybe will be viable at a later point. User:DGG I agree that she is a very minor artist, but I do think there is evidence that she is more than an amateur. As Socialite: it appears that the legendary Bill Cunningham photographed her no less than 10 times at society events [11]. Honest question: does that make WP:GNG for Socialite? I would doubt it but if someone says otherwise, I could be persuaded to convert to a Weak Keep. Lastly: BabbaQ, please ease off the Canvassing accusations, as these actions are all within the guidelines of appropriate notifications.--Theredproject (talk) 01:00, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Theredproject, please not that when you commented I had not made a comment for two days. To indicate that I still was making comments by that time is simply wrong. I stand by my comments. BabbaQ (talk) 00:08, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is quite a fine analysis. You are right, I missed the flora/Fauna item, as it also listed group shows. In terms licensing your own work, this is quite normal. It is however very rare for the artist themselves to be promoting it and handling it themselves. but that's a side point. I do think you may be giving her too much credit as an artist. There is a fairly established trajectory for notable artists that includes basic gallery shows in reputable venues, larger gallery shows in reputable venues, solo show in reputable venues, exhibition catalogues and monographs by reputable publishers, media coverage in serious publications and inclusion in museum permanent colletions. What is sad abotu this discussion is that even though all of these items are missing from Miss Connor's CV, we are still here talking about it. While some may not have the advantage of knowing the art world and being able to judge notability quickly as a result, we all have the advantage of knowing the notability guideline for WP:ARTIST, and that is being blatantly ignored by those who would !vote keep. 104.163.148.25 (talk) 02:18, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Added additional citations to the article. Meets WP:ARTIST because her work "has won significant critical attention." In addition to what's been described above, her painting American Angst (2016) was part of the "Uprise / Angry Women" exhibit at The Untitled Space in New York City, which was featured in the Huffington Post, Teen Vogue and Mashable. Additionally, due to all the times her work has been featured in various galleries, the amount of coverage about her satisfies WP:GNG for "topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Lonehexagon (talk) 21:53, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

note that Lonehexagon only votes keep on articles with female subjects, irregardless of article merits. 104.163.148.25 (talk) 07:27, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note also that Lonehexagon votes in accordance with consensus at AfD 76% of the time. There is nothing wrong with an editor specializing in articles or AfDs about women, or mathematical topics, or butterflies, or politicians, or rivers and streams. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:37, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see that his/her consensus votes are 64% or so. A 50% is approximately equivalent to not randomly voting. The point I was making is that the editor has a very clear agenda to always vote keep for articles on women. The agenda could not be clearer, although I see she/he has voted recently to delete their first article with a female subject.104.163.148.25 (talk) 06:24, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Quoting from the report, "Without considering "No Consensus" results, 78.3% of AfD's were matches and 21.7% of AfD's were not." I understated the percentage a bit, IP editor. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:56, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@104.163.148.25: another way of looking at it could be that the editor only !votes on subjects they believe are notable. There are inclusionists who do not vote on subjects that they do not believe are notable because they believe that their role is not to weed out the non notable subjects but to save borderline notable subjects. There are deletionists who do the opposite. Looking at statistics is not a good way of judging whether this person is randomly voting on an agenda. It is better to AGF and challenge their reasons if they are not policy-based. Some editors have a very high percentage of results because they only!vote on clearcut cases, this is less useful IMHO than someone who tries to save borderline cases. Dom from Paris (talk) 09:34, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Cullen328: Maybe slightly off topic: is there a way to see what an editor's percentage that they vote in accordance with consensus? Or did you just calculate that yourself? Feel free to move the convo to a talk page, if it is too much for this AfD. --Theredproject (talk) 17:17, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete the sources do not show that she meets NARTIST yet. She has had commercial exhibitions in galleries (mostly the same) but not in permanent exhibitions. I do not think that the sources prove that she has met with significant attention. And as per criteria #4 being the artist that painted one of 80 paintings chosen for an exhibition in a gallery in which she exposes commercially that does not seem to be itself particularly notable means that she doesn't quite make the cut yet. The other sources do not show that she passes GNG they are mostly WP:INTERVIEWS blogs and what's on pieces. Dom from Paris (talk) 13:17, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete. Megalibrarygirl and Theredproject both brought up good points about this perhaps meeting GNG and not WP:artist, and I side a little more with the latter argument. Right now the sources seem very weak and (as 104.163.148.25 broke down in the second !vote) are exaggerated ways to display notability. Softlavender also brought up allegations of WP:COI which I agree with. I could be swayed to vote weak keep if better sources were presented, but since this AfD is a week old without any better sources coming out, I feel comfortable staying on the delete side. As an aside to BabbaQ, nothing above was canvassing, please stop trying to WP:BLUDGEON the process. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 15:07, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'd expect nothing less, you shouldn't change your stance... but baiting? Who's baiting? I read the entire AfD to get a better understanding of the thoughts here and noticed you responding to every single person not voting your way. In my book that's bludgeon. WP:COAL.

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

Son of a well-known politician, who has yet to hold public office, which does not qualify him under WP:POLITICIAN. Levi got 5 seconds of press attention in 2015, during his father's campaign for the Presidency, when, according to the New Yorker the press discovered: "that Levi was not the product of his first marriage, as many people had assumed, but, instead, the child of a brief relationship between Sanders and Susan Campbell Mott, other than that, the coverage I can find is routine mentions in articles about his Dad. I cannot find that he has done anything notable. This is his first campaign for public office and, according to the Washington Post, Levi "surprised Democrats by entering the race," for the seat now held by Carol Shea-Porter, who is retiring. Eight Democrats have entered the contest for her seat( United States House of Representatives elections in New Hampshire, 2018). Page has previously been redirected to Bernie Sanders, where Levi has a sentence.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:47, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. Article creator here. A lot of news coverage has been generated regarding his potential congress run. You clearly haven't done enough resarch, Sanders was a Senior Policy Advisor to his father and extensively campaigned for Phil Murphy (current governor of New Jersey), who was notably not endorsed by his father. Last year, Sanders was also one of the main speakers at the People's Summit- clips of this have been uploaded on YouTube. I understand that simply being the only son of Bernie Sanders, does not make him worthy of inclusion as he would be simply 'famous' rather than 'remarkable'. A combination of his own political activism and his father, possibly the most important American progessive of all time make Levi notable.--Failosopher (talk) 19:44, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Please WP:AGF. In light of my detailed nomination statement, the assertion that I "haven't done enough resarch," is discourteous. Note also that, in 2015 I created Larry Sanders (politician) (it had been created and deleted in 2010,) and in 2016 I created Jane O'Meara Sanders. I am always willing to change my iVote, if someone brings articles in WP:RS media independent of Levi in some depth or that some significant accomplishment that has drawn attention in the press.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:55, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Notability is not inherited. Failosopher: if you want to claim that he is notable in his own right, you will need to cite some independent sources as evidence.

• Delete. While the creator is correct that his announcement generated news coverage, what he's missing is that as of right now that coverage just makes Levi a WP:BLP1E. People do not automatically qualify for articles just because they've gotten their name into the news cycle for a day — they qualify for articles when that coverage is happening in the context of something that passes a notability criterion, which being an as yet non-winning election candidate does not. If he wins the seat in November, he'll definitely get an article, and it's possible (although far from certain) that the dad factor will help him generate enough substantive and ongoing coverage during the campaign to clear WP:GNG as being more notable than most other candidates. But he does not automatically qualify for a Wikipedia article just because he got a one-day blip of coverage for announcing his candidacy yesterday, and who his father is doesn't automatically make him more special than any other candidate who isn't getting an article for that yet. Bearcat (talk) 01:06, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge.

On search engines, there are many sources (possibly reliable) and news articles that discuss about Levi Sanders. This can clear WP:N and WP:V, possibly, since there is quite a lack of references on this Wikipedia article.

It might be appropriate to have the article as a biography or find a way of merging it with the Bernie Sanders page.

Definitely shouldn't be deleted, but kept or merged.

These are my opinions on it.

• In fact, the Time Magazine article User:CrayonS just added to the page: 5 Things to Know About Levi Sanders, Bernie Sanders' Son Who Is Running for Congress is strong proof of Levi Sanders complete lack of notability. The 5 facts-to-know about Levi are 1.) he shares Dad's politics; 2. he doesn't even live in the distirct he's contesting, 3. he's never held office (he had a low-level career as a "Social Security benefits specialist", until Dad's campaign took off and Levi went to work for Dad, 4.) "The race will be tough", and 5.) Bernie's step-daughter is running for Mayor of Burlington (Dad's old job). It proves that there is nothing notable about Levi except that he is the son of a notable man.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:03, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• A person does not automatically qualify for an article on "because media coverage exists" grounds just because they blipped into the news cycle for a day in a context that doesn't otherwise pass a Wikipedia inclusion criterion. A blip of campaign-related coverage is not enough to get a not yet elected candidate for office into Wikipedia just for being a candidate — it just makes him a WP:BLP1E, not a topic who's earned permanent inclusion in an encyclopedia yet.

Jorge Alberto Rodríguez[edit]

Sources do not corroborate the article or do not even exist; e.g. "DEA Congressional Testimony, October 23, 2011" (not listed among DEA Congressional testimonies in 2011).

More: Talk:Cali Cartel#False claims

As stated in that Talk: Cali Cartel -page, Jorge Alberto Rodriguez and Jorge Alberto Rodriguez Herrera (a real relative of the Cali Cartel brothers) are different persons! The identities are deliberately mixed-up. Every bit written on this article is unsourced, misleadingly sourced or leads to two different identities of whom very little is actually known. And what is known is relatively mundane. Consider the rather extravagant, unsourced claims regarding "The 400". Absolutely nothing links said claims to Jorge Alberto Rodriguez, our inmate number 09086-017. Worse, this fakery has infested even the far more visited Cali Cartel article; Jorge Alberto Rodriguez is mentioned throughout but try checking the sources. I just did a Google Books search on Ron Chepesiuk's The Bullet or the Bribe, a source provided for Seizures, one of the sections mentioning Jorge Alberto. Zero presence of Jorge in that book. Another source, this time from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Nope, nothing there either. And this is a consistent pattern. "Jorge Alberto Rodriguez", as presented here in his namesake article or the Cali Cartel article, is nothing but a product of someone's imagination. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.90.44.25 (talk) 11:16, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment for now while I investigate further. Delete: The nominator is correct that the article conflates (at least) two different people. Jorge Alberto Rodriguez may well have been arrested and imprisoned in 1990 (there are no sources in the text to verify this, and I can't find anything online about the arrest of such a supposedly key drug lord) – there was certainly a Jorge Alberto Rodriguez involved in drug smuggling from Colombia who was in a US prison and appealed against his conviction in 1993 [14], and a Jorge Alberto Rodriguez released from a US prison in 2012 [15] (type the inmate number 09086-017 into the box and press Search). Both of these sources are already in the article text, but there is nothing definitively linking them as the same person.

We can definitely say that neither of them was Jorge Alberto Rodriguez Herrera, the son of Gilberto Rodriguez Orjuela of the Cali Cartel, because he was a free man living in Colombia in 1995 when his father was arrested by the Colombian authorities, as stated here in this Colombian newspaper article from July 1995 where he tried to enter the US after his father's arrest, but was caught and deported back to Colombia [16]. In another newspaper article he is stated as being an engineer by trade (nothing to do with drugs) [17], and in this article about the children of the Orjuela brothers, he is not even mentioned among his half-brothers and sisters as being involved in illegal activities [18], which is surprising if he really were heavily involved in the Cali Cartel, as the article states. There is nothing to support the penultimate statement that "He is regarded as one of the wealthiest criminals in history, with an estimated net-worth of US$3.7 billion"... as noted by the nominator, the source regarding the DEA testimony doesn't exist, and the second source is here [19] and makes no mention of the subject's wealth – in fact it shows that he was one of two men who had their assets unblocked and their names removed from the list of Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers, which doesn't tie up with this subject's supposed importance as a drug lord, or with the dates that he was supposedly released from prison (this unblocking order is from 2009).

This article was created by a WP:SPA with the username "Cholito111908" (the subject of the article was supposedly known as "Don Cholito"), and it may be pure coincidence, but it was created just a month after Jorge Alberto Rodriguez was released from prison in April 2012. The book that the user ElizabethCastro says she was writing in the first AfD nomination has never materialised... neither has Ms Castro since the AfD nomination in 2015.

• Sourcing news of LONGi:

I looked at other articles about PV and found that PVTech is used as a reliable source in numerous other Wikipedia article about PV. But I then listed the other online sources of news that those articles had cited and searched them for news of LONGi. I found a very large amount of news about LONGi in those other sources. Rather than deletion, perhaps the article should be improved by enhancing the depth and number of citations from an array of different sources. MaynardClark (talk) 16:40, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• LONGi's multi-national production:

I have noted that LONGi has factories in at least three nations (China^[1], India^[2][3], and Malaysia). This needs to be researched further; LONGi may have production facilities in more nations. I don't (yet) know about how how they handle energy source issues and waste stream management inside their factories. MaynardClark (talk) 19:01, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2. Longi is listed on the Shanghai stock exchange Bloomberg
3. Longi Silicon and Zhonghuan Semiconductor announce new expansions with over 10GW of new capacity planned lengthy article in PV Magazine
4. ET Solar, LONGi join to create global mono-crystalline solar panel brand lengthy article in Solar Power World

• I would say the top organizational levels of any major religious denomination with several centuries of history should be presumed notable.

  • @Prince of Thieves: Perhaps you misunderstand me. I'm not going to nominate articles that have presumed notability, like "hall of fame" bucking bulls or professors in named chairs. I'm not sure how "the top organizational levels of any major religious denomination" get any sort of presumption short of WP:ILIKEIT.

• Redirect to Archbishops' Council, which it is a department of, as this is simply an advisory council body within a larger council body, which runs the anglican church. (renamed three times at least, as vaguely alluded to in the article). I do think it is notable, but it is also a tiny stub and there is nothing to merge. I would vastly rather work on something work local than part of the Anglican church. Prince of Thieves (talk) 20:08, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Probably keep If not, Merge to Archbishops' Council, (rather than delete). I am not all that familiar with the Anglican church's structures, but I suspect this is notable. We are talking about the English Established Church. Nevertheless it is difficult to judge from a placeholder (stub) such as this. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:58, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Although I was heavily involved on the keep side in the original AFD discussion a decade ago, Wikipedia's notability and sourcing requirements for bands have been tightened up considerably since then. Their most solid notability claim at the time was charting on CBC Radio 3, but that's now much more clearly deprecated as a WP:BADCHART that cannot get a band over NMUSIC #2 by itself anymore, and they haven't done anything since releasing This Beautiful Town in 2006, so they don't have a solid claim to passing any other NMUSIC criterion — and they simply don't have any strong reliable source coverage about them to pass WP:GNG, either. They were a valid article topic at the time, but our notability and sourcing standards are much stricter in 2018 than they were a decade ago, and this band just doesn't have anything that passes them anymore. I am sad to say that it has to go, given how well I remember the passion of the original discussion, but NMUSIC has simply changed too much since 2006.

• Delete: Really interesting historical record here of how notability has changed-- but Bearcat is ultimately right in his nom. I've looked everywhere for sources and I wasn't able to find anything in addition to the CBC Radio 3 chart, and per Bearcat's nom, that isn't enough for notability. I'm !voting delete. Nomader (talk) 23:39, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – I created this article back in 2007, and I will be sad to see this piece of history go. (Bearcat is, of course, correct in his assessment of the change in notability standards from eleven years ago.) There was minor heat that resulted when I created the article, had a speedy deletion reversed, and then argued for its retention along with Bearcat (who – cool fact – got on-air props from The R3-30 host Craig Norris about his successful efforts for this article) ... which led to me going down a path of years of involvement at AfD and searching for sources for vulnerable articles.

• Merge to Pizza Pops. No prejudice against recreation if someone puts in the work to find more evidence of sustained reliable source coverage about him to get him over WP:GNG — in the database I've got, he gets just one hit apart from the "Paul Faraci has died" blip itself, so I'm not the angel of salvation here — but a person doesn't automatically qualify for a standalone article just because his death occasions obituaries. And that's especially true when two of the five obituaries are reprints of the same wire service article, and thus combine as one reference per citation overkill rules. He's a plausible enough search term that we should retain it as a redirect to the thing he's known for — but the sourcing here just isn't good enough to earn him a standalone article as a separate topic, and even the content is mainly about the product apart from his birth and death dates. Bearcat (talk) 19:15, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• WP:BEFORE? One of the top returns on Google Books notes "he name of James A. Trimble is closely associated in the minds of street railway men with the subject of cars, and Trimble cars and car woodwork have a wide reputation for excellence of construction, durability and fine finish. The Trimble car works were started in i86g, in a small shop next to the present building, and were originally devoted to the manufacture of street car woodwork.."

  • Yes, I did WP:BEFORE. That quote reads like an advert (a press release printed in the very specialized press, the "Transit journal" / "Street Railway Journal"), not some independent review.

The journal Street Railway Journal includes copious coverage of the firm's doings and that doesn't even start to touch what is there to be found on Newspapers.com, which a dedicated article writer could spend time finding. The footnotes on this piece are a complete fricking mess, but that might just be a case of a newcomer finding their way; I couldn't successfully fix one of them myself and I've been doing this crap for the better part of ten years. Anyway, there's plenty of work to be done here, but getting the ball rolling involves ending this challenge in a Keep. Carrite (talk) 16:30, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vanity biography of a non-notable individual. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:07, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I beleive that Marina Devyatova is a well-known singer, and familiar to all russian speaking people. If you check the sources here https://www.google.nl/search?q=%22Marina+Devyatova%22&tbm=nws&gws_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=oKCWWvHNBcb9UoeVnrAI , you will be able to see a big number of articles about this singer, even in the biggest russian newspapers. Maybe you should include a Russian speaking editor in this discussion to realize how notable this person is. I would also like to know what is the notability criteria on which you have assumed that this person is not notable? (you can see that she has wikipedia page in 10 other languages). In the article, I included even her imdb page, but I don't know if you consider that imdb is not enough for notability? Anass Sedrati (talk) 12:32, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Anass Sedrati: Indeed, I now see that there are articles on her in 10 other language Wikipedias. However, the imdb page, which I did look at, mentions nothing notable about her. Why don't you add some further material with reliable sources to show that she is indeed a notable individual? Being a finalist in a talent show is not enough in itself. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:59, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth: I don't know how you judge the notability for a singer? That she has a given number of views on Youtube? All I am saying is that she is famous in Russian speaking world and has already pages (and Russian speaking Media) that talk about her as an artist. This is a video of her singing in Youtube with 6 million views (and you can find many others) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrdGQPtlteM. I don't know if you will still consider that she is lacking notability even after this? Regards. Anass Sedrati (talk) 14:09, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Anass Sedrati: I am quite prepared to withdraw this nomination, but please do add some more information to the article. All it states at the moment is that she is a "Russian singer and interpret of traditional songs." Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:15, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth: Thank you for your collaboration (and preparation to withdraw the deletion nomination) and for confirming the the problem was not notability. I will add some more information, but since you have confirmed that the issue was not notability (it was the reason you stated in your first message), then please go ahead with the withdrawal, and thank you again.

Apparently not notable by our standards, does not meet WP:ARTIST, some shows in some fairly minor galleries, the routine business of a working artist. Sourcing is tenuous in the extreme. I started removed some of the worst (e.g., Houzz: "With Houzz, professionals can showcase their work and provide insight into their values") but stopped when I realised that there's essentially nothing there. Article creator is blocked as an undisclosed paid editor, and there seems to be every likelihood that this is in fact a paid advertisement (and, lest we forget, Wikipedia does not tolerate advertisements).

• Delete.Looks like a cv or promotion. The article is tagged with paid, it is hard to tell how it came about but it certainly doesn't appear an organic article. 30+ refs, I checked about half a dozen at random and they mean nothing, the others look the same but weren't checked.

• Delete went through all the sources, and also did a search for other sources. There were articles that talk about her, but they took forever to find and were blogs. Doesn't meet WP:ARTIST. SportingFlyer (talk) 03:30, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. My original reasoning was: fails WP:NNEWSPAPER - no indication of significance. Reference cited is a footnote in an article about something else entirely, not in-depth, not enough to support an article. No other sources located, either on Google, GBooks, GScholar, or the www.marxists.org site. ru.wikipedia also doesn't have an article; it's a redlink on their disambig page for telegraph.

Since the de-PROD, two more sources have been added, but neither is in-depth enough to count for GNG, and neither indicates that the paper would pass the NNEWSPAPER criteria. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 11:14, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
