County politician, fails WP:POLITICIAN, not many sources either. Rusf10 (talk) 23:14, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@TheGracefulSlick:I would have gladly bundled, but every time I do, a small group of people try to derail the discussion with "procedural keeps" even though there clearly nothing wrong with the bundle.--Rusf10 (talk) 15:26, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • the reason to be very careful about bundling is that it is very easy for an editor looking too narrowly at a political career, to miss other sources of notability, and, because some major media are behind paywalls, and some active politicians were more notable a couple of decades ago, editors who lack access to multiple news archives bundle apples and oranges together.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:15, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A fairly pointless page creation with a soft redirect to Wiktionary, and seemingly ineligible for CSD. It fulfils no purpose other than to divert or delay users looking for articles beginning with that word (and there are a lot of them), and would rarely if ever be searched for on its own. It therefore goes against the last line of the guidelines in ((wi)) which state:

"Do not place it on every possible word. Soft redirects to Wiktionary are to dictionary definitions, and generally Wikipedia is not a dictionary.
Only use it when:
  • There is no scope for a Wikipedia article at this title, and
  • There is no other Wikipedia page to which this would be an appropriate redirect, and
  • There is a relevant entry in Wiktionary, and (my emphasis...)
  • Readers search for it on Wikipedia."
I do not believe users would ever search for "inconvenience" on its own. Maybe other editors do? Nick Moyes (talk) 23:12, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But WP:POINTWIKT makes it clear that the guidelines for what is acceptable as a soft redirect to Wiktionary is in the documentation for ((Wiktionary redirect)) (which I pasted above) and which, to me, self-evidently does not meet its own 4th guideline.

@Nick Moyes:After considering the points presented on your other AfD, I've elected to strike my Keep vote from this AfD as well. Thank you. Operator873CONNECT 02:33, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Nosebagbear: To answer your question, I certainly didn't search for it! Why would anyone? I'm actually a New Page Reviewer and came across the ridiculously-named article, Merely, which I AFD-ed immediately using the inbuilt Page Curation tool that reviewers have access to. Checking the article creator's other pages always seems appropriate to me, and I came across this one amongst their otherwise weird, wacky and interesting contributions. I'd invite anyone who spends time here at AFD to consider volunteering at WP:NPP - we've got the backlog down to 3,400 unreviewed new articles. More help still needed, folks! Nick Moyes (talk) 12:37, 7 June 2018 (UTC)\[reply]
Ah, that makes more sense. I might try out NPP in a bit - however I only joined AfC a bit over a week ago! Between AfC, AfD, Vandal Patrol I'm lacking time to create as it is - think NPP might be a step too far!
I'm trying to think which one is on iffier grounds - merely or inconvenience. I do feel a need to go see the creator's other edits just out of interest. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:41, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe users would ever search for "merely" on its own. Maybe other editors do? Nick Moyes (talk) 23:03, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But why would anyone think we need to stop someone creating a pointless article by having a pointless page directing to Wiktionary when no-one is ever likely to such on the word 'merely' on its own? If we follow your logic, every single word in the English language should have its own page! What fun that would give users when the Search box offers them a single word as the first option which doesn't deliver anything useful, except to salt article creation which is unlikely ever to be an issue for tens of thousands of words. No, sorry - that logic doesn't work for me, at all, I'm afraid. Nick Moyes (talk) 20:57, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I gladly admit I may not be understanding the spirit of the guideline. And I acknowledge salting every word in the English language could spiral wildly out of control. However, if the article was created, wouldn't solving the issue of recreation also be prudent? Operator873CONNECT 23:02, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Operator873: I don't think it's just the spirit of the guideline you're misunderstanding. Feel free to strike your !vote if you're having second thoughts. But are you seriously suggesting that, because a wiktionary redirect which fails to meet our guidelines was created, we shouldn't delete it, but keep it here so as to simply stop it being recreated once we've deleted it? Nah, that sort of logic does my head in. Nick Moyes (talk) 01:49, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Nick Moyes: I have never been above addressing a mistake I've potentially made. After considering the issue and your arguments, I will strike my vote. Operator873CONNECT 02:30, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Due to the farce that is Brexit, this election is almost certainly not going to happen, so its existence is a clear WP:CRYSTAL violation. I have no problem with it being restored if by some miracle the elections do happen, but for the meantime, it should be replaced by a redirect to European Parliament election, 2019, where it is explained several times that the UK is not electing any members (I had attempted to redirect it (and it was previously a redirect for over a year for the aforementioned reason), but this was reverted with a suggestion to go to AfD).

I think that argument is backwards. WP:CRYSTAL requires certainty that it will go ahead, not certainty that it won't. Number 57 16:09, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
...which is the problem. The article was restored when it emerged that £829,000 had been set aside to administer it. WP:CRYSTAL now requires certainty that it will not go ahead. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 09:28, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No it doesn't. Number 57 11:19, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Only if they are getting alerts from those WikiProjects or have it on their watchlist. Neither of which I do. I just happened to click on the article and noticed the AfD on it. As per: WP:Articles for deletion#Notifying substantial contributors to the article: it is generally considered courteous to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the articles that you are nominating for deletion.. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 01:57, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Quote from the article, which was written back in January: The remaining 27 British seats ought to be re-distributed among the 14 EU countries that are slightly under-represented, to even out current inequalities in their representation in the House, says the committee. "Ought to be", the lead section reflects this. The announcement of the £829,000 was made in May, and the EU Withdrawal bill has suffered 15 defeats in the House of Lords since.
I appreciate that there is material about the situation in the UK there, but I don't think that that's a justification for deletion of this article. Merging material there could work (and there's an solid overlap case), but I think keeping information in the European Parliament election, XXXX (United Kingdom) series is easier for readers. Ralbegen (talk) 20:12, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For information purposes: The link to the date of the next election in the infobox of European Parliament election, 2014 (United Kingdom) was removed in this diff, April 2017. At that time the article European Parliament election, 2019 (United Kingdom) was a re-direct to European Parliament election, 2019, but with the link gone whatever info it contained was academic, at least as far as anyone accessing European Parliament election, 2014 (United Kingdom) was concerned. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 14:35, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I don't think that changes the point I was trying to make, though: the material should be included somewhere, and it may as well be in an article called European Parliament election, 2019 (United Kingdom). Ralbegen (talk) 16:28, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
My point was really regarding Number57. The link to the date of the next election in the infobox of European Parliament election, 2014 (United Kingdom) was removed as a tweak presumably on the reasonable rationale of "oh, that's just a sentence in the lead section of the European Parliament election, 2019, saying In February 2018, the European Parliament voted to decrease the number of MEPs from 751 to 705, after the United Kingdom withdraws from the European Union on the current schedule. - not worth keeping the link." I think there is less of a temptation to do that if the link goes to a full article. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 05:56, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The fact that the individual characters aren't notable aren't exactly an issue, as this is a list of characters, and we simply need to know that they are combined notable. However, there is no real nothing to show any sort of notablity for any of the characters. The article doesn't even mention Spyro himself as a character, despite him arguably being the only notable character in the series (Well, perhaps the egg-man at a push is somewhat notable due to his amount of press).

@Ammarpad: - sorry that was poor words by me, I just meant to stress that I felt unless breaking rules was occuring then assistance should always be provided. Obviously your nomination policy is what each person should be using in their own right, but in the areas that we limit access (or complexity limits it) then assistance should be granted with as much independence to the requesting person as possible.

Oh yes, a New York Time obituary, the gold standard of notability according to RAN. Why don't you show us the policy that states a NYT obituary trumps all other policies? Notable people usually do not things before they die. I can't read the paywalled NYT article, but being that he was stuck by a taxicab, I willing to guess that he died in New York City. (and guess what local newspaper covers things that happen in New York City) The wikipedia article claims he died in Long Branch, but doubt he was hit by a taxi there.--Rusf10 (talk) 17:12, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a non-paywalled obit - B. B. Newcomb Killed by Taxi At Long Branch, Asbury Park Press (Asbury Park, New Jersey) 2 Feb 1945, page 1 and 3. I'm not sure why you wouldn't think a taxi would be operated in the Long Branch/Asbury Park in the 1940s, but details on the cabby and passengers are in that article. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:28, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, we've been in situations before where an otherwise non-notable politician has been killed or passed in office in unusual circumstances and have used obituaries to move "over the WP:GNG" line, which I think is wrong. The NYT obituary does not appear to be substantial. Just because this politician has been written about in local sources does not guarantee him notability on Wikipedia: the only articles on him are a history book, a business blurb on his newspaper retirement, and obituaries, which isn't enough for WP:NPOL. SportingFlyer talk 17:50, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
NY times archive pages give an image of the actual page with the article itself highlighted but too blurry and small to read. The paper is an 8 column, so each column is about 1.2 inches wide. With that as a guide, the 1937 announcement of Newcomb's retirement looks to be about an inch long[3] and his obituary looks to be a little over 5 inches long.[4] I usually consider 4 inches of material on an individual to be a substantial article, but others have other rules of thumb. Smmurphy(Talk) 18:15, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, another clarification. Newcomb did not die in office and death by motor vehicle accident was not (and is not) unusual - motor vehicle accidents are generally right at the edge of the top 10 most likely causes of death in the US (and worldwide, I believe) and have been since the 1930s (See interactive graphic here). Smmurphy(Talk) 18:37, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for finding that article. I struck the part of my comment about him not dying in Long Branch, although I still stand by my earlier statement that there is not enough here to establish notability.--Rusf10 (talk) 19:04, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I was not suggesting he died in office, and while you are correct about accidents being a top ten cause of death, he was struck by a taxicab, which is indeed an unusual situation. The entire first page of the Asbury Park article discusses the accident, his achievements relegated to page three. Also I think we're claiming he's notable as a county freeholder? His term as mayor was on a commission form of government, where mayors have little power. SportingFlyer talk 19:43, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt if this poorly written article meets the notability guidelines. Looks more as a memorial then an encyclopedic article. The Banner talk 16:49, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ; the reasons for deletion given by ‘The Banner’ for deletion are none specific, and based on opinion of the prose. The article is referenced and as well as possible true and unbiased. Even The Banner is unable to confirm if the article fails...

It is recording the life of someone who gave their life in the service of their country ( in this case adopted).

The gallantry award (DCM) itself is justification for notability - the medal is not one awarded for ‘turning up and not dying’ but requires notable sacrifice and dedication.

According to Wikipedia guidelines, this article clearly meets the requirements - It was created over 5 years ago without problem but suddenly fails because it was ‘poorly’ written.

Comment Flyer, fair point on the Cosmos page. It was my personal interpretation that a wide precedent had been set by that decision; I was incorrect in that, apparently, thanks for the clarification. In regards to the GRFC coverage from mlive, I would argue that it is nowhere near enough to meet notability. A quick search on mlive.com for "Grand Rapids FC" turns up just six articles written in 2018, with two of those about the women's team and one about beer sales at home games. Only one of their five games this season has received a writeup (the home opener, to be exact.) Additionally, a google search finds only negligible coverage on the team from other sources. To address the other clubs' seasons in this AFD, it is the same: virtually no coverage by independent media. 21.colinthompson (talk) 02:55, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment even if the consensus wasn't reached in that AfD, the consensus is still that season articles at this level (semi-pro in the US) don't meet NSEASONS and need to have notability established. If MLive does have some sort of in-depth coverage of the Grand Rapids season (preferably something along the lines of a summation at the end of a season) then maybe it could be argued as a keep, and even then I'm not sure that's enough. The sourcing needs to be significantly improved, as primary sources just are not adequate. As a side note, I will link to this AfD as the only example I have on my watchlist regarding this kind of situation. Take it with a grain of salt, I know there are others.

Comment I agree with this. I don't see why multiple teams should be in the same discussion. Unless there is an arbitrary rule that fourth division soccer teams cannot have season pages regardless of notability, it seems like it would make sense to have separate discussions. Rungladwin (talk) 21:42, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have no problem with separate AfDs. It doesn't change the fact that WP:GNG isn't demonstrated for any of the seasons. In fact the only references that aren't primary are to a fanzine, a stadium, and to a goal of the year in 2017. None of these demonstrate notability for these seasons. I'm not sure what "arbitrary rule" you are referring to, but there is clear precedent that these kinds of seasons have not satisfied the relevant notability guidelines. Jay eyem (talk) 22:35, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment My point about an "arbitrary rule" for this level of soccer is that I believe individual teams can have differing amounts of notability and maybe they should be considered separately. For example, Detroit City FC and Chattanooga FC have a large following, appear more frequently in local media, and regularly draw thousands of fans while most other teams in the NPSL do not. Based on attendance figures, I would says that Grand Rapids FC appears to be more notable than most NPSL teams as well. Rungladwin (talk) 23:38, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't follow, what does having high attendance have to do with the (so far) lack of adequate sourcing and the precedent that's been set? Jay eyem (talk) 01:15, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Additional references were added to the Grand Rapids seasons to perhaps helps its case. Still, maybe the point was that notability it's all just measured by the number of sources. Maybe a club's following could also be a measure of notability. 68.43.38.101 (talk) 01:51, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Józef Adamowicz[edit]

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

This article has a number of problems - beginning with the title, as the individual described is not Józef Adamowicz (A teenager(?) in a family that helped Jews near Wilno per yadVashem in the article), but Jozef Adamski (a 60 year old master bricklayer in Krakow). From my BEFORE Józef Adamowicz is clearly not notable. Adamski is somewhat more notable - but still a BIO1E that doesn't meet GNG. He is mainly mentioned in an account by Julian Aleksandrowicz, and more or less the same paragraph is present in approx. 3-4 books. In terms of sources in the article - Yad Vashem is on Adamowicz (I did search their website - Adamski appears only in a PDF with a long list of names). I'm not sure of the RSness of Olszewska, and it doesn't mention Adamski anyway. The third source is a WP:SPS which is also somewhat WP:QS, it contains a 4-line paragraph. Sources I found in my BEFORE, do not establish independent notability. Our article on Julian Aleksandrowicz already contains info on Adamski. Icewhiz (talk) 14:17, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note regarding names - there are a few more notable individuals named Józef Adamowicz - plwiki entry and one of Adamowicz brothers. There are also a number of more notable individuals named Józef Adamski (but do not have Wiki pages) -e.g. a priest mentioned in 1899.Icewhiz (talk) 14:31, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The subject-specific notability guideline demands significant roles in multiple notable films.

But, I'm afraid that she has starred in only two films and two isn't multiple.

Our general notability guideline demands non-trivial (preferably sustained) significant coverage in multiple reliable sources.

I'm afraid that she fails on those grounds too.

Overall, this looks like a quasi-poor AFC-accept of a declared-paid-article by Dial911.I'll say she ain't passing our notability-benchmark, at least as of now.

Delete Previous AfD was closed due to a nom by sock. On review, I have reapplied for deletion. Zero indications of notability, a run-of-the-mill company. None of the provided references meet the criteria for establishing notability. None of the provided references are "intellectually independent" as all rely on information/quotations from company sources or interviews with founders, thereby failing WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. HighKing++ 11:45, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the founder in this case does not hold notability on his own, and derives importance from having founded the company. And therefore, interviews in respected publications point to the importance of the company. Considering it is one of the largest players in a really large market segment, has attracted substantial funding from multiple large investors, and is moving towards an IPO, the startup is fairly significant. Shobhit102 | talk  18:58, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Shobhit102, the guidelines are very clear on qualifying references to meet the criteria for establishing notability and not a single one of those references meet those criteria. Note that the criteria for allowable sources to support facts within an article are not as stringent and the references you've included are allowable for that purpose, but are not allowable for the purpose of establishing notability. The exercise of determining notability is not about the number of sources you can find in Google but about the content of those references which are required to provide intellectually independent in-depth information/opinion/analysis. For example:
  • This livemint reference relies on an anonymous source connected to the company and is therefore not intellectually independent (a key criteria) and arguably relying on an unofficial company announcement, failing WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND.
  • This Economic Times reference also relies on a business-as-usual company announcement on earnings and fails WP:ORGIND.
  • This Economic Times reference relies on a company announcement from one of their new investors in relation to a funding announcement and is therefore not intellectually independent and fails WP:ORGIND
  • This Economic Times reference might arguably be allowable except it provides no intellectually independent opinion/analysis. The first couple of paragraphs comments on an earnings report by repeating some of the information, then there's a quote from an analyst, the a comment that the company did not respond to a questionnaire, then an earlier quotation from a company source, then *perhaps* the next paragraph could be interpreted as intellectually independent opinion from the journalist or it could be the journalist repeating information previously published. The second part of the article is about the industry in general. In my opinion it doesn't have enough to meet WP:CORPDEPTH or WP:ORGIND but others may give the the benefit of the doubt.
  • This Times of India reference is based on an anonymous source and fails for the same reasons as the livemint reference
  • This Fortune India reference is standard churnalism providing a Company Profile. The format of these type articles are pretty well known - history, glossy posed pics, history of funding, description of business, quotations, etc, but it is really a marketing piece. Fails since it is not intellectually independent and relies exclusively on information provided by company sources. Fails WP:ORGIND.
  • This Live Mint reference is a simple company profile included in a list of other company profiles and fails WP:CORPDEPTH, specifically inclusion in lists of similar organizations, particularly in "best of", "top 100", "fastest growing" or similar lists.
So out of the references you've provided, none clearly meet the criteria for establishing notability based on WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. HighKing++ 10:46, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment HighKing, thanks a lot for helping me understand notability guidelines better. I really appreciate you taking out the time to do that. I understand your concerns regarding the sources above. I am not sure I understand why business-as-usual or investment decisions related coverage would not meet WP:ORGIND. There is significant coverage on both these aspects in multiple independent publications. And media coverage in general would seem to imply that the company is not a run-of-the-mill startup. But if it is decided that it is not so, I would not contest that further.  Shobhit102 | talk  14:14, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Shobhit102, no problem. I believe that the main reason is to meet the criteria of "independent" coverage. Independent does not mean that the publisher has no corporate connection with the company - it means that the coverage is intellectually independent. We are looking for intellectually independent opinion/analysis on the company, not regurgitated company-produced information. If you carefully read the sources and look for *anything* in the content where the journalist is voicing his/her own opinion or providing his/her own independent analysis, then you are closer to find a reference that meets the criteria for establishing notability. I note that you have kept your Keep !vote - if you've decided that the references don't meet the criteria, you can simply strike your !vote. HighKing++ 09:54, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the WP:ORGIND criteria very well. All you are making is random accusation of supposed lack of independence that you could not substantiate, as there are huge number of sources covering a wide range of topics, just a few examples - [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. These are clearly the authors' own work, indications such as the authors trying to contact the company involved and received no reply, reference to independent sources, etc.. You should stop making random accusation against journalists. Given the number and variety of articles involved on the company, I'd suggest that WP:BEFORE was not properly conducted.

Subject fails GNG as she lacks significant coverage. While the subject is sometimes featured in The Advertiser, articles such as this feature a promotional tone that seems to link the subject to the paper. Besides The Advertiser, the subject is not featured in reliable sources except for a trivial mention in a Sydney Morning Herald article. According to GNG, "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability", thus the single reliable source of The Advertiser fails significant coverage.

Neither the cited sources nor anything elsewhere comes near to showing that this subject satisfies the notability guidelines. (Historical note: The article was subject to an AfD back in 2010, where there was very little participation. The closing administrator deleted the article, but because of the low particiapation restored it on request from the author of the article, but stated that "it remains subject to renomination if not improved".

I can't find any reliable sources anywhere that indicate this meets GNG. I acknowledge the difficulty of finding online sources for a supermarket from the 1970s that went defunct in 2007, but still, you'd think if the store really was one of the first anywhere to introduce a free plastic shopping bag, you'd see evidence of that somewhere.

I checked Google, GBooks, GNews, GScholar, archive.org (text search and metadata), JSTOR, and Questia, using a number of variations on the name, including "Darrers", "darrers store", "darrers stores", "darrer's stores", "darrers bag", and "darrers+ireland". (Updated May 23 to add: I have just checked Newspapers.com and Highbeam despite their American focus, and also found nothing.)

The most I turned up were scans of local newspapers from 40 years ago which mention Darrers in the context of ROUTINE local coverage, and one memorial from an Irish man who complains that his mother bought cheap shoes from Darrers that he hated.

It's not enough for a GNG pass, or any other N pass either. ♠PMC(talk) 22:54, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any policy-based arguments to support your keep vote, or are you going to stick with ILIKEIT? A bag being included in a local museum is hardly indicative of the kind of significant widespread attention required to pass WP:N. ♠PMC(talk) 23:39, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest my answer was pretty tongue-in-cheek. I acknowledge that Darrers has not been written about a huge amount, and there is a lack of sources for it. That said I am an inclusionist, so I will always err that way. I know that histories have been written recently about other local retail institutions such as Hadden's and Shaw's Stores, so I think Darrers time will come. And I wasn't saying that inclusion in the collections of the local museum should argue for its retention, but that it might offer a source for being the first store to give out a free bag! I would say that it has an Irish notability, and given that retail in Ireland is poorly represented on-Wiki, I would be disappointed to see one of the few articles go. Smirkybec (talk) 11:17, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We don't evaluate articles based on the hope that there may be sources in the future, we evaluate them based on what's available presently, and right now (as even you acknowledge), there isn't enough to keep the article. ♠PMC(talk) 20:40, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Again, I implore you to produce any kind of source whatsoever that validates that claim. You cannot simply assume that sources must exist, you have to actually provide some evidence that they exist in order for your argument to be taken seriously by the closing administrator. I take some offense to the claim that my nomination was hasty - I made extensive searches through a number of databases as indicated in my nomination. ♠PMC(talk) 14:47, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The best I could find to support that claim: http://www.igp-web.com/Carlow/Tullow_St_04.htm . I'm inclined to believe that it is true. Tazerdadog (talk) 08:05, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It says a lot that an unverified personal recollection on a personal website with no editorial oversight is the best evidence available to support "notability" for this store. ♠PMC(talk) 08:35, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that "a few, better, reliable links are needed" is the whole crux of this AfD. Actually, it's the crux of almost any AfD and doesn't particularly need pointing out. As I noted in my nomination and in several follow-up comments, if I had been able to find any reliable sources in the first place, I would've added them, and if anyone else could, they would've produced them some time in the past two weeks. ♠PMC(talk) 10:19, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Addendum. I have added several of the many refs I found to the article. I would also offer (to the "there is no coverage" argument) the cover of "The Nationalist" from 24 Sep 2004 for example. Alongside mass-graves, robbery and Daniel Day Lewis, they made the closure of Darrers a "front page" topic. OK. It's not exactly the New York Times. Or the Washington Post. Or even The Irish Times. But still :) Guliolopez (talk) 18:14, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Almost all the sources you have added to the article are trivial at best and do not meet any of the criteria of WP:RS, let alone the more stringent criteria of WP:NCORP. The first one is an obituary of the owner not a discussion of the store, the second is a business listing which never contributes to notability, the third is a copy of the source Tazerdadog posted which I pointed out as unreliable above, the fourth is a classified ad mentioning a lost Darrers bag which obviously has no bearing on any claim of notability, the fifth is pretty much the only reliable source although it's a regional paper so that doesn't contribute much in the way of notability, the sixth is a tweet from a museum which I have already pointed out does not support notability, the seventh is entirely about something else and the words "From the Darrers bag" are the only part of it that concerns Darrers, and the eighth is a local source.
So the only two sources you have presented that aren't utterly trivial are local, which fail the portion of WP:N that requires "significant attention by the world at large" (typically taken to mean national coverage at a minimum). ♠PMC(talk) 05:00, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Subject is a footballer/soccer player who fails the sport-specific notability criteria because he has not played at senior international level or in a fully professional league, and there doesn't seem to be enough coverage to pass the general notability criteria. Article was PRODded as non-notable, but the PROD was removed by me because I'd somehow got it into my head that the Superettan was the Swedish top division and hence a fully pro league; it isn't.

Not tagged as a stub, I stumbled upon this while looking up an archive search for mayoral notability here: [17]. It's been orphaned for several years. A WP:BEFORE search digs up a few things: he was a principal at a school (I assume this is him) [18] and is in charge of a local sports hall of fame in addition to him being mayor, but all of the coverage of him as a mayor is WP:MILL, and the sources that could be used to best flesh out the article are either non-reliable (blogs) or are primary (city website).

WP:BLP of a poet and musician, not properly referenced as passing either WP:AUTHOR or WP:NMUSIC. This is written differently enough from the first version to not immediately qualify for speedy deletion as a recreation of deleted content, but neither the notability claims nor the referencing are actually an improvement -- pretty much right across the board, this is referenced to sources that cannot carry notability, such as blogs, YouTube videos, the self-published websites of organizations he's been directly affiliated with and the buy-it pages of his own works on Amazon (for the books) or Bandcamp (for the album). As always, however, people do not get Wikipedia articles by self-publishing their own verification of their existence, or by being nominally verifiable as having work for sale on an online store -- they get Wikipedia articles by being the subject of coverage about them in real media, but none of the references here meet that standard.

Keep: Perhaps some editing is needed in terms of a few of the references. I am not sure about the referencing of published books and albums? Is it done incorrectly? Maybe the citations should not include ISBNs but point to the publishers websites? In terms of notability, I have tried to improve the original deleted article by referencing a lot more sources for poetry commissions and performances from highly reliable sources, such as: Czech Centre London, National Poetry Library, The British library, Austrian cultural forum, Parasol Unit and October Gallery, Arnolfini Gallery, major avant-garde poetry festivals where he was commissioned as a guest poet (Prague Microfestival, Soundeye) and so on. Perhaps some of the citations pointing to youtube should be edited or deleted? Of course some of the youtube citations are from reliable third parties, such as Czech Centre London, but others are maybe less reliable? In terms of critical coverage from real media, the writer has been critically reviewed in Jacket 2 (perhaps the number one source for critical reviews of avant garde poetry in English). This niche work is rarely, if ever, reviewed in any major newspapers such as The Guardian, New York Times etc. While avant-garde poetry is a niche topic, it seems this author is certainly notable, in terms of commissions and performances, some critical reviews, and major publications (university presses such as the university of East Anglia/Boiler Press, major literary magazines such as Tin House, Poetry, Fence), to warrant a wikipedia page? I understand other wikipedia contemporary poet/author pages are not grounds for including this one (see previous discussion on deletion of Marcus Slease), but perhaps some consideration of this niche topic of contemporary avant garde poetry in English, and how this author contributes to contemporary avant garde poetry in a unique and notable way, is worth considering? I have found another source about the "nomadic" avant garde poetry of this author, in Polish, from a major Polish publisher and arts organisation. I will add this as well. I have been trying to extensively research the small world of avant garde poetry and in writing this article I have tried to include sources that are not directly related to the author. However, after researching this topic for quite a few years, it seems most of these poets collaborate with each other on artistic projects. Are those potential sources always unreliable? In terms of the author's connection to Steven J Fowler, it seems he is an avant-garde arts organiser and is not directly connected to the author/poet, but rather facilitates events, collaborations and so on with major backing from reliable UK arts organisations. Any help with editing this article is highly appreciated.

I have changed the opening to the article to read: "Marcus Slease (1974) is a contemporary avant-garde poet and performer from Portadown, Northern Ireland." I am unsure of his nationality? Originally the article stated he was "an Irish poet." This was based on the following source[1] that lists Irish poets in translation. Anyone have suggestions in terms of nationality? Better to leave it as "poet from Northern Ireland?" Rasala Ewa (talk) 08:43, 29 May 2018 (UTC)— Rasala Ewa (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Doesn't appear to meet the criteria of WP:NACTOR. Although his credits on IMDB are prolific, they appear to be bit parts rather than major roles. His de.wiki article is pretty big, but sourced only to a bunch of profiles on user-submitted actor-for-hire websites.

A BLP that lacks sources that discuss the subject directly and in detail. Sigificant RS coverage not found. The article is cited to online directories, industry publicity materials, and other sources otherwise not suitable for notability. Does not meet WP:PORNBIO / WP:NACTOR.

WP:BLP of a local television meteorologist. As always, television personalities at the local station level are not handed an automatic notability freebie just because they exist -- they must be reliably sourced as the subject of enough media coverage to clear WP:GNG. But apart from primary sources, the only other reference here is his paid-inclusion wedding notice in The New York Times -- which is not notability-assisting coverage, because anybody can get one of those by placing it themselves. Wedding coverage only counts as notability if The New York Times assigns one of its staff journalists to write about the wedding as a news story, and not if it's the couple's own submission to the paid-inclusion wedding announcements column. And the article was created by a user named Jdlovitz, making it a conflict of interest when you compare that to the name of the article subject's husband — and even if Steve Sosna had an article-clinching notability claim (which he doesn't), he and/or his husband still wouldn't get to create the article themselves.

Article about non-notable video game with no indication of meeting WP:GNG, WP:PRODUCT, or WP:WEB. Cursory search turns up only one RS that devotes any attention to the game, an April 12 article on Kotaku, which is well short of significant coverage.

The author has also uploaded images of the game's assets to Commons, which have been marked as copyright violations. In response to PRODding of the article, creator uploaded more game asset images. RA0808 talkcontribs 00:23, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- The article reads as a marketing piece, under WP:DEL4, however I wouldn't say that there is no encyclopedic content
- There are copyvio issues, even with the pics removed. I suppose technically direct quotes could be put round the update log bits, but deleting them (or replacing with 2 line summaries of major changes) would seem to be the actual route to take.
- The real killer is that as mentioned above, notability. As covered, Kotaku seems the only appropriate ref (I've added it, so at least the quoted paragraph is covered). However there just isn't sufficient reliable coverage to support the article, everything else can't be independent. Nosebagbear (talk) 10:01, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Just because you worked hard on improving the article doesn't mean it shouldn't be deleted. There simply aren't enough independent, reliable, secondary sources for this article to be on wikipedia. 317917661X (talk) 12:33, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Side Comment. I understand your point 317917661X, but I wasn't stating my work as a reason why the article should be kept. I was stating I put a great deal into it and it stinks that It has to be deleted. Although someone deleted all my work and not the page >:( Timwardo (talk) 18:24, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. First of all, calm down. Secondly, you said the real reason you don't want it deleted is because you put a great deal into it, which is literally you saying that you don't want the article to be deleted because you put a lot of work into it. You just worded the way you said it differently. Third, I deleted your work because it didn't cite many sources and some of it didn't look encyclopedic, such as the description saying in large text that it doesn't apply to certain versions. Thanks for understanding. 317917661X (talk) 19:56, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
