Weak keep. It looks like the top 4 Austrian newspapers, between them, have mentioned Raaber a total of 3 times. Two appearances are trivial; he is mentioned in passing as one of several wrestlers in an event lineup (Presse, 6 July 2017 and 24 April 2018). The third appearance is a charity event announcement (SN, 3 March 2017). This guy is clearly not a legitimate celebrity, not even locally. On the other hand, there is an interview with Raaber in a 2009 issue of Profil, a distinguished political magazine, and a short biography of sorts in a 2015 art book (Peternel and Peternell, Who the Fuck is Alice?, Kein & Aber). I guess that means he technically meets GNG, having received significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Damvile (talk) 01:52, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The "short biography" is a single paragraph, 120 words long. I think it's a stretch to refer to this as "significant coverage." Even if we accept the paragraph as significant, we currently have significant coverage from a grand total of 2 (two) independent sources, which means we'd be stretching the definition of "multiple" too. Kramler (talk) 12:49, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Regarding "significant", a mention isn't significant if it's long, it's significant if it's not trivial. A mention is trivial if it's unconscious and/or automatic and/or unavoidable. When Raaber appears on a list of wrestlers appearing in some wrestling event, that's a trivial mention because his inclusion does not prove the author of the list has given Raaber any thought, considers Raaber interesting, or would have remembered Raaber's name the next day. When a writer makes the conscious choice to include Raaber in a book in which his appearance is not obvious, then this is evidence of Raaber having been noted, i.e. being notable. Regarding "multiple", it has always been policy that 2 sources can be enough, especially if the subject is geographically or recentism-istically disadvantaged, which is the case for Raaber. Lastly, Raaber has had a 90-minute movie made about him. Assuming you don't want to argue that a 90-minute movie is insignificant, that brings the number of sources up to 3.

Wikipedia is not a directory of crimes or anything else. This is a two sentence article on an event 30 years ago that's unlikely to get any more coverage to permit anything longer. Guy (Help!) 20:17, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article should not be evaluated on its current two sentence length. The article was kept at an AfD debate in April of this year where the consensus was to keep. That debate brought forward many sources that can be used to expand the article. There has been ongoing coverage of this kidnapping in reliable sources for 30 years. The San Francisco Chronicle, for example, is not Pinole's local newspaper, but is instead the dominant regional newspaper for Northern California. The Chronicle has published at least 66 stories about this case over the past three decades. Consider this story about the impact of the kidnapping on her family and this story about the man who confessed to the kidnapping and murder. Both stories were published many years after the kidnapping. Ongoing coverage is not limited to the Chronicle and a reading of the April AfD debate will lead editors to many other sources that can be used to expand the article.

Keep. I was notified on my TP as a former AfD participant (but I would have !voted anyway - I vote on almost all AfDs in the crime delsort). Ahould not have been nominated so close to previous keep. I will just repeat my previous comment : Significant WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. 19891998200020022009200920132013201320152016. books - [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Seems early coverage is primarily as "Amber Swartz" (and that Garcia was tacked on at some later date - per this rather in-depth piece - her father Bernie Swartz was murdered a few months prior to her birth and her mother lived with Al Garcia but did not marry him due to police pension issues) - and that this was a nationwide photograph item in 1988...

The result was keep. There is a rough consensus that the subject meets WP:PROF and possibly also the GNG. A major concern of those editors in favour of deletion, that this is a BLP without reliable sources, has been rectified by David Eppstein. – Joe (talk) 07:14, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Contested PROD. PROD reason was "No reliable secondary sources tending to show notability. Two of the reference links are dead, but can be seen by their names to be in any case primary sources; one is to the editorial board of a journal that Cardeña is on; one, in Swedish, is an extremely popularly written interview with Cardeña ("Are you more telepathic when you're in love?" "Why are Swedes so rude?") in Salongk.se, via the Wayback Machine; the venue is no longer online. The last one, billed in the article as an article written by Cardeña, is actually an open letter signed by nearly one hundred academics, of whom he is one, and published in the controversial Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (see our article)." The PROD was contested with a claim that the subject meets "multiple WP:PROF criteria" - however, the WP:RSes to write an article from are not only not present, but don't (on a quick WP:BEFORE) appear to exist. Perhaps they do, but we need the actual sources before a WP:BLP can be allowed to exist. David Gerard (talk) 19:46, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no notable Ghits, fails WP:NBIO. Since this is a BLP, the fact it has no sources also is a reason for deletion. Kirbanzo (talk) 20:11, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Full transparency: I wrote the PROD rationale which David Gerard quotes above. The PROD was removed with the comment that "article makes a clear claim of notability through multiple WP:PROF criteria; prodder appears to be using the wrong notability guideline for this subject".[14] Of the WP:PROF criteria, I believe the remover must be referring to number 5, "The person holds or has held a named chair appointment ... at a major institution of higher education and research". I say that because I can't see any other WP:PROF criterion that Cadeña remotely meets. It is claimed in the article that Cadeña is "the Thorsen Professor of Psychology at Lund University"; so, he holds or held a named chair appointment. Lund University is certainly a major institution of higher education and research, but there is something unusual about the Thorsen chair of psychology. The only mentions of it that Google finds are closely together with Cardeña, in contexts where Cardeña himself has listed his credentials, with one exception: an interesting article from 2015 titled "A decade in the borderland of science", just one and unfortunately in Swedish, in Sydsvenskan, a respectable daily. Apparently the Danish industrialist Poul Thorsen had difficulty in persuading any major university to take his money and create a chair in parapsychology: both Copenhagen and Stockholm declined. I quote an exerpt from the Sydsvenskan article:
Lengthy quote from source
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Quote from Thorsen's will:
"The rest of my fortune will be offered to a Swedish university in the order of Lund, Upsala, Stockholm, as the university in question will undertake to apply the interest of the untiring fund capital for full or partial remuneration of a professor, possibly a lecturer, in parapsychology linked to teaching in hypnologi."
"The story of Lund University's most odd professor's chair begins in 1961. The Danish manufacturer Poul Thorsen writes the above formulations in his will. It states that his wealth must be devoted to two purposes. One was to ensure lifelong livelihood for two women, servants in the Thorsian household. The second was to finance research within Thorsen's great interest, parapsychology.
From the beginning, Thorsen would [=wished to] benefit Copenhagen University, but they thanked no [=declined]. The same message met Thorsen in Stockholm.
In the end, Lund University accepted the donation. An important role, then, was [=was played by] the director, Philip Sandblom, who thought that the money could come in handy. Together with the psychological department, Lund University succeeded in part in [=in partically redefining] the purpose of the donation, so that it also included research within the somewhat more accepted field of hypnology, ie research on hypnosis.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the last of the two women in the testament had died and the money could eventually be paid to Lund University, where the professors at the psychological department did not see any obstacles to announcing the service [=to inviting applications for the new chair]. So [=This] was done in May 2003.
That it was not any service was pretty clear soon [=That it was not just any chair soon became clear]. Not least for [=to] the dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Sune Sunesson, who was able to [=had to] handle Lund University's probably most laborious appointment case ever. "
(Note: This is from Google Translate, as far as possible. I'm a Swedish speaker, and have offered clearer alternatives where I found the machine translation incomprehensible. The whole article, which expresses doubt about letting this kind of chair into Swedish academe, is well worth reading.)
What's my point? Well, it seems strange that his type of named chair, obviously not nearly as respectable as a regular Swedish professorship, can on its own make a person notable. I can't believe that is the intention of WP:PROF. Bishonen | talk 21:07, 2 September 2018 (UTC).[reply]
If this article stays, that's definitely worth discussing in the article. There was also (non-RS) discussion of the Thorsen chair in ScienceBlogs - the chair was empty for decades until Cardena accepted it - David Gerard (talk) 21:34, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:PROF#C5 (named chair at a major university), #C8 (editor in chief of a notable journal) [15], and #C1 (16 publications with over 100 citations each on Google Scholar). Making fun of someone's research specialty is not an adequate reason for deletion, and neither is using the wrong notability criterion (this is a case for PROF, not WP:GNG). —David Eppstein (talk) 21:47, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Even given prima facie notability - we still need the actual RSes for a BLP, and the article doesn't have them. Do you have them? Then they need to be there in practice, not just hypothetically, for the article to be allowed to exist - David Gerard (talk) 23:16, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@David Eppstein: I didn't use WP:GNG to assess notability, I used WP:PROF. You suggest its criterion C1 is satisfied by "16 publications with over 100 citations each on Google Scholar"; I don't agree. C1 goes like this: "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources". The number of publications with 100 citations does not in itself show that. (100 bare citations isn't much.) I don't so far see any reason to believe his research has had a significant impact. But I'm ready to change my mind if you supply the independent reliable sources that say it has. P.S. Is it my quotes from the interview in Salongk.se, which was offered as a source in our article, that you call "Making fun of someone's research specialty"? The interview was offered as a source, and I tried to describe its character, to assist the non-Swedish-speaking reader, without any intention of making fun. It's actually a better source, being at least secondary, than several of the others.Bishonen | talk 11:15, 3 September 2018 (UTC).[reply]
To me this objection reads as "I don't believe in our established notability guidelines so I am going to make up different requirements that articles must also satisfy". We have hundreds of published reliable sources discussing his research, some of them likely in-depth. And C1 was only the third of three notability criteria that I cited him as passing; we only need one. In any case, if you pretend that for reasons GNG should take precedence in this case, [16] and [17] look like reliable in-depth independent sources, certainly enough to source the named professorship criterion of WP:PROF. And to respond to previous comments about how "respectable" the chair is: I think the controversy over the chair makes it more notable, not less. And our personal opinions about respectability should be very far from how we decide notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 12:53, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This may be prima facie notability - or it may not - but please refrain from making personal attacks on other editors.

Keep. In addition to what User:David Eppstein writes above, Etzel Cardeña is – for good or bad – a piece of Swedish modern research history. He – and his chair, but he as a person was not irrelevant – it was controversial already in 2005, of course, but wasn't just a piece of news back then. It was the focus of a nation-wide debate in 2012. It started, if I remember correctly, with Pseudovetenskap sprids okritiskt in Svenska Dagbladet and continued in a good number of newspapers. He's been the focus of a number of portraits in respectable newspapers, like the longish "Tio år i gränslandet" in Sydsvenskan (the major newspaper in southern Sweden). I can't find the article online, but it's available through w:sv:Mediearkivet.

But this is irrelevant considering the reliable sources noted by Julle, the high citation counts and endowed chair noted by Eppstein, and his status as a fellow of both the American Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science, [18] all of which allow him to pass WP:PROF easily.

WP:CLERGY suggests that it might be assumed that Bishops reach that threshold, but not lower ranks. There have been numerous relevant discussions within Wikipedia talk:Notability (people), and in none of them is it even proposed that deans or archdeacons should be assumed notable.

They substantiate the body of compositions as a songwriter whose works are award winning and have sold over 1,000,000 units (WOW Worship Blue) and 500,000 units (Top 25 Praise Songs) which meets the criteria for notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hollanddavis (talk • contribs) 17:26, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's clear, but a large body of works is not a criteria for inclusion. And the albums have sold well, but we need sources to support that your contributions on those compilation albums was the reason they sold well. Since your solo albums have not achieved success or notability, it follows that it's likely the act of being a compilation album that helped them to sell well. So unless you or your works have directly won an award, there is no notability. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:53, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe your reasoning is factual. To say a song on a compilation does not contribute to the sales of the compilation does not make sense. The reason why you include songs is to include the songs that will gain the most sales. WOW Worship is best of compilation selecting from the top 100 songs performed in churches at that time. Holland Davis did win several awards. He was awarded an ASCAP award for most played song in 2006 for Let It Rise. He was awarded one platinum and two gold records for WOW Worship and Top 25 Praise Songs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hollanddavis (talk • contribs) 01:10, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry you don't the simple logic I presented because it does make sense. For instance, in country music in particular, a single hit song will not usually increase sales for an album. There are instances where a musician in that category will have multiple singles and the album itself does not sell. However if those same hit singles are released on a compilation album along with other hits, then the compilation will sell. It's the fact that it's a collection of good songs that make compilation sell, not the presence of any one song. If you can show a source that states that the presence of your song boosted sales by even 1%, you would have a clear point. I suspect that if your song was removed from those compilations and another song from a different worship musician had been included, the album would have not have sold significantly better or worse. I would argue that "Good, Good Father" is a more notable song than "let It Arise" and neither Pat Barrett nor Anthony Brown have articles (althoughg Housefires does, based on the weight of their third album). And I'm curious why you're referring to yourself in the third person. The award was not for most played song in 2006, but one of the most performed Christian songs of the year. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:00, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You cannot compare Good Good Father with Let It Rise (it is not Let It Arise... maybe that's the issue, you've confused the song with a different song)... Good Good Father is recently released and still building notability. Let It Rise, achieved notability in the 90's as a top 100 CCLI song (which earned the song a place on the multi-platinum selling WOW Worship Blue) which is based on usage in churches and a Top 25 charting position with Big Daddy Weave again in the 2000's as well as a #2 position on the gospel charts by William Murphy. Can you name another worship song that has achieved Top 25 placements on Billboard in 2 different genres at the same time? As well as achieving multi-platinum status on a compilation with notability spanning 2 decades? It appears the song meets the criteria for notariety... inclusion on charts, winning multi-platinum status. It appears the songwriter has been credited as writing the song that has been recorded by notable groups. It appears to meet the notability requirements on several points. All it needs to do is meet one to be deemed notable. You are correct it was the the 25 most performed Christian songs of the year is the official category title. It was for the most plays on radio (which means it charted in the top 25) which again proves the notability of the song and the writer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.22.3 (talk) 15:29, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Composers, songwriters, librettists or lyricists, may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria: 1. Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition. [...] 3. Has had a work used as the basis for a later composition by a songwriter, composer or lyricist who meets the above criteria.
— WP:COMPOSER "Let It Rise" does not appear to be notable, though. Per WP:NSONG, emphasis mine:
Songs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label.
Also, from the "subject" footnote of that guideline:
The "subject" of a work means non-trivial treatment and excludes mere mention of the song/single, its musician/band or of its publication, price listings and other non-substantive detail treatment.
This does not appear to be the case, no matter how best-selling the album was. The whole "Awards" section might be inadequate praise, as these awards have never been awarded to the article subject themselves. About Holland Davis, I can not find independent, significant coverage that addresses him directly and in detail, per WP:GNG. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:55, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The ASCAP Award was awarded to Holland Davis as the writer of Let It Rise which was one of the most performed songs of 2006. it both establishes the notability of the song and the songwriter as ASCAP is a song based PRO. If it helps establish the case, I can list a number of records who have recorded Let It Rise from non-trivial works? It's easy to establish the value of the song. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hollanddavis (talk • contribs) 18:11, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A standalone article about a song should satisfy the above criteria. Any of the following factors suggest that a song or single may be notable enough that a search for coverage in reliable independent sources will be successful.
Has been ranked on national or significant music or sales charts. (Note again that this indicates only that a song may be notable, not that it is notable.)
Has won one or more significant awards or honors, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.

Keep definite WP:COI and if this is kept the artist should not directly edit it but instead make suggestions on the talk page. However, he does seem to pass WP:NMUSIC with charting hit singles on billboard, and he has coverage in christian music reliable sources such as CrossRhythmns, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 17:18, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Atlantic306:WP:NMUSIC lists reasons why a musician may be notable. They are not automatically defined, not even necessarily "likely" to be notable if one of the examples listed there applies. Also, could you please specify which part of WP:NMUSIC you are referring to? The "reliable source" at CrossRhythms (link) appears to be an interview where the musician talks about themselves, which is explicitly not included by WP:NMUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles, point 1. The "charting" in Christian music does not appear to be the same as appearing on "any country's national music chart" per point 2. The musician also does not appear to have "won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award." per point 8. The word "major" is important here. I have not seen anything "major" in that regard yet. Please also note that "Wikipedia should not have a separate article on [...] any subject that, despite the person meeting the rules of thumb described above, for which editors ultimately cannot locate independent sources that provide in-depth information about the subject.", per WP:NMUSIC as well. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:26, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The album reviews at Cross Rythm are reliable intellectually independent sources that count towards WP:GNG, meeting one of the criteria on WP:NMUSIC means exactly that a musician is likely to be notable and the Billboard christian music charts are national charts as opposed to state or local and are widely quoted in christian music reliable sources so criteria 2 of WP:NMUSIC is clearly passed,regards Atlantic306 (talk) 11:59, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced list of guest stars on television program. Lists mostly single appearances of characters. Notes list what actor portraying character is later known for, unrelated to appearance on The Andy Griffith Show.
There's no debate that actors with wikilinks meet WP:N and that The Andy Griffith Show was a popular television show. But there are no sources about the topic of The Andy Griffith Show guest stars treated as a whole, and list article fails WP:TVCAST and WP:LISTCRUFT.

Comment—Sourcing isn't the core issue. This content fails fails WP:TVCAST and WP:LISTCRUFT. A list of single episode guest stars of a television show is not content that meets criteria guidelines. AldezD (talk) 15:07, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
LISTCRUFT is essentially an "I don't like this list and want an acronym to cite" essay, so that's really uninteresting to me. If you're using it as a proxy for an actual consensus-supported guideline or policy, you should just cite that policy. And could you be specific regarding what part of WP:TVCAST you are applying, and in what way that MOS guideline establishes relevant inclusion criteria that this list fails? postdlf (talk) 15:23, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Not every fictional character ever created deserves to be listed". "A cast member or character appearing in more than one episode, or in two or more consecutive episodes, does not necessarily mean that character has a 'recurring' role." These are not recurring characters. They are one-episode characters, and do not belong in a separate article list. A list of guest stars does not meet WP:N. AldezD (talk) 16:26, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
None of that says "never list guest stars", nor "only main and recurring roles may be listed". Further, this list is limited to guest stars who have their own articles. Editors may ultimately decide that this is an unnecessary level of detail for this particular show, or that having guest starred in this series may not be significant enough as a basis for an index of notable actors, but your legalistic approach, and your copied and pasted rationales (apparently applied based on nothing more than the type of list rather than a case-by-case evaluation of the content per WP:BEFORE) is completely off-base here.
You claim above that there are "no sources about the topic of The Andy Griffith Show guest stars treated as a whole", but are you basing this purely based on the state of the article, or have you actually consulted any of the many books about this series to see if they discuss and/or list significant guest stars? postdlf (talk) 17:45, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists, which says, "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list." I will show below that "The Andy Griffith Show guest stars" has been treated as a "a group or set by independent reliable sources".
There are 249 episodes (159 in black and white; 90 in color) of "The Andy Griffith Show." The following is a list, with brief plot summaries, of all the episodes. The order in which the episodes are listed is the order in which they were filmed and also the order in which they are most commonly aired in syndication. (The order in which the episodes were originally broadcast is slightly different.) Guest stars and prominent actors are also listed, along with the writers of the episodes.
The book notes this information about guest stars:
The book discusses each episode in the series and the cast members (including guest cast) involved in each episode.
Hall, Lee (1999-05-31). "Mayburied: 'Griffith' Is Out at TBS". Electronic Media. Crain Communications.
The article notes:
Guest stars included Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester, "The Addams Family"); Buddy Ebsen ("Beverly Hillbillies" and "Barnaby Jones"); Alan Hale Jr. (the skipper on "Gilligan's Island"); Bill Bixby ("The Incredible Hulk" and "My Favorite Martian"), Don Rickles; Bob Denver ("Gilligan's Island"); Teri Garr; Jamie Farr ("MASH"); Howard Hesseman ("WKRP in Cincinnati"); Rob Reiner ("All in the Family"); and Jack Nicholson.
The small, fictional town of Mayberry, N.C., lives on in the Verona Joyner Langford North Carolina Collection at Joyner Library. The television series that was set in this picturesque town, "The Andy Griffith Show," debuted on Oct. 3, 1960, and ran for eight seasons. Several books in the collection give detailed summaries of all 249 episodes that aired, along with short biographies of the cast members and various guest stars who passed through Mayberry, including Jack Nicholson, Bill Bixby, and Barbara Eden.
The article discusses the books The Andy Griffith Show Book by Ken Beck and Jim Clark, The Definitive Andy Griffith Show Reference by Dale Robinson and David Fernandes, and Mayberry 101: Behind The Scenes of a TV Classic by Neal Brower.

Redirect to Salman Taseer. WhileBeing daughter of a famous politician (Salman Taseer) or sister of a notable brothers is not in itself grounds for notability because Notability is not inherited. so the question is whether she meets WP:JOURNALIST. Journalists are not given an automatic free pass over WP:BIO just because they exist — their ability to qualify for Wikipedia articles is determined by criteria at WP:JOURNALIST. But that does not appear to be the case here. She also lacks significant coverage from independent reliable sources so fails to meet basic GNG as well.

As per this RS, she is the official spokesperson of her family (Category:Taseer family) and was interviewed by NDTV, Al Jazeera, MSNBC, NPR, BBC Hard Talk, BBC Radio, CNN and Voice of America. In the absence of Wikipedia page on her family, redirection to her father's page make sense.

Saqib LoL was over the cheeky usage of the word 'interesting' nothing more. no offence meant. I can strike if it disturbs you.
Human Rights First NGOs' (is barely or non notable NGO) and award is clearly not a notable award. does not prove notability.
WEF is just an NGO, albeit a notable one, but this YGL is given every year to 199 young leaders from 70 countries, again non notable.
Newsline is neither a reliable source, nor her being the official spokesperson of her family does not make her notable.
She was interviewed by International media de to her fathers killing not for her work. Does not prove notability.

Springer: 66–77. doi:10.1007/978-3-319-09668-1_5. ISBN978-3-319-09667-4., which indicates more than 'local' interest, along with news articles in 2011, 2012 and 2013. There is also considerable of newspaper coverage in various local and regional newspapers, mostly Oakland Tribune and Contra Costa Times but a couple hit the wires as well, which show up in ProQuest. According to one article Karl Fischer (16 February 2012). "Two national TV shows to feature East Bay "Dirty DUI" scandal". Oakland Tribune. the scandal drew enough attention to be featured on two national TV shows, although the shows themselves may not be RS. Although there seems to be enough material to support an article it may be preferable from a BLP perspective to create an article which discusses the entirety of the scandal and then redirect this to that article.

Jbhunley, you have either not read the part of the book, in it's entirety or you are over-exaggerating the coverage.This uses the example of the crime to merely provide an interesting introduction to the broader theme of the chapter.Nothing else of any merit (it again mentions a comment by the author, on the crime at the very ending:-)).I have the book and can email you, per your wish.

The coverage in that article was far from trivial or 'in passing'. It consists of ~150-170 words detailing the crime. The point though, as I said above, is that the mere fact that the author of the paper saw this particular crime by this particular person to be significant enough to introduce and illustrate their point makes the material of more than 'local' interest.

Yes, you are a memorable editor. The one event is a pretty good one, and she has done other things, including a stint as a Wikimedia official. Wikipedia is now set-in-stone enough in society that people who've worked there, or made major accomplishments here, should be as notable as any other participants of a unique knowledge force. The sources and references are strong. I don't get the reasoning of one-event guidelines, although I haven't memorized it. Seems many people are justifiably notable for one event, and then we have major league baseball, where if a person under a major-league contract walks on the field for one inning and then is never heard of or never does anything notable again they are automatically considered notable and article-worthy.

The result was Delete I've ended this a bit early due to issues with undisclosed paid editors, but fundamentally the issue came down to two arguments. On the one side it was argued that there was coverage of the subject in multiple sources (JC7V, Cr@Z Kit-Kat Lover), while on the other it was argued that none of the sources met the requirements for GNG (Papaursa, Sandals1, K.e.coffman, SportingFlyer). In the end, I felt that the concerns raised on the delete side, that the article failed to pass the bar of GNG, were stronger. - Bilby (talk) 01:43, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Notability of this person is not inherited by working for notable organisations. The level of independent coverage about him is insufficient to meet WP:GNGJoseph2302 (talk) 08:57, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment what a terrible article. Former AFL first round draft pick for Richmond, but was a total draft bust and never played an AFL game. Possible coverage including here, which is WP:ROUTINE, but exists: [27] The Athletic article is good for WP:GNG but the rest appears to be non-NPOV fluff. Watching this but if I don't respond again, read this as a delete vote. SportingFlyertalk 12:38, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Bit weak but passes WP:GNG and scrapes WP:NAUTHOR, per cite 19, and contribution to additional collective works. Govvy (talk) 12:46, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The page doesn't clearly meet the notability guidelines for persons WP:GNG. I checked the available sources before speedy deletion. The creator of the article also appears to be a Spam/advertising-only account, likely covert advertising and failure to disclose paid contributions. Bradgd (talk) 15:26, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While I agree that the page needs to be tidied, properly cited and edited for tone; there are plenty of sources available, therefore this page has the potential to be a good addition to the encyclopaedia providing the issues are fixed and all traces of paid editing are removed. Cr@Z Kit-Kat Lovert@lk 14:48, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Added source to show he never played in the AFL for Richmond, despite the article's original claim of playing for them for five years. Doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG or any SNG. Coverage is routine sports reporting based on being hired by various teams. Writing an article does not mean he meets WP:NAUTHOR. If the keep voters can show the significant independent coverage they claim exists, I'm willing to change my vote. Papaursa (talk) 17:41, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't think he is notable as an author (his only book is held by just 36 libraries according to WorldCat Identities) but definitely notable as a sportsperson winning the Larke Medal, playing for various teams and being a coach. -- Gprscrippers (talk) 16:38, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Larke medal is for the under-18 championships and junior awards don't usual confer notability nor does playing for several minor league teams. He was never a head coach just an assistant for different teams so he fails to meet WP:NAFL or any other SNG. That means he needs to meet WP:GNG to be notable and, as I said above, I'm waiting for someone to show me the necessary coverage. Papaursa (talk) 18:51, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Many sources showing this subject meets WP:GNG, won a Larke Medal and some significnace from being an author (though probably not meeting WP:Author) so its a pass.JC7V-constructive zone 22:42, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For one last time, someone please point two or three of the "many sources showing this subject meets WP:GNG" so that I can see the significant independent coverage of him in reliable sources. People keep claiming he meets WP:GNG, but no one has been willing to show me the sources--even though I've said I'm willing to change my vote if presented with actual evidence instead of general vague statements. Papaursa (talk) 00:51, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's not just one source, its taking everything and every source together (Larkin award, wrote a book that is somewhat significant, wrote guest articles for Psychology Today, works with pro sports teams, was drafted by an AFL squad (I know he didn't play for them). I feel based on everything together he barely meets WP:GNG. I feel his inclusion (without the fluff) would be a Net Positive. JC7V-constructive zone 01:12, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but it seems like you're claiming he's notable because he did lots of different things, although he didn't do any of them well enough to be notable in that field. In addition, you're claiming that lots of routine coverage combined is enough to meet WP:GNG although you can't find individual sources that provide the significant independent non-routine coverage required by that standard. For some reason, I'm reminded of one of my old coaches who said, "If you want to win the high jump you find one person who can jump 7 feet, not 7 people who can jump 1 foot." Papaursa (talk) 02:39, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, and no strong reliable source coverage to support it. This is based almost entirely on primary sources (like their own website, ticket sales sites and CDBaby) that cannot support notability at all, with the only evidence of media coverage being a short blurb in their hometown local weekly on the occasion of their playing a show at the local youth centre. All of which means that nothing here passes NMUSIC, and the sourcing isn't strong enough to get them over GNG. Bearcat (talk) 23:05, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioned in other categories by public, and notable for multiple reasons including manufacture of largest impact sockets in world, more than 480,000 sizes and shapes no other brand makes, as well as introduction of new lengths and drive sizes never previously created before by any brand.

Candidate for election to state legislature. One of 2 candidates running on her Party's ticket (it works like that in California,) she garnered a flurry of attention by placing second in the Primary election that selected 2 nominees. Little or no pre-campaign notability, although there is some coverage of prior campaigns, and she was a member city council and vice-mayor of a city of ~100,000 pop.

The election isn't until November. The brief flurry of post-election coverage is WP:BLP1E. I can see an excellent argument for moving this to somebody's user space.

Delete unelected candidates are almost never notable, no reason to make an exception here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:55, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, without prejudice against recreation in November if she wins. Wikipedia does not deal in the realm of election predictions, so the fact that a candidate is considered likely to win the election is not a notability claim in and of itself — our notability criteria are based on what's already true today, not what new things that aren't already true today might become true in the future. And since every candidate in every election always generates some coverage in their district's local media during the campaign, the fact that said coverage exists is not an automatic WP:GNG pass in and of itself either. If she does win the election in November, then the article can be recreated as her notability claim will have changed to one that guarantees a Wikipedia article — but simply being a candidate as of today is not enough. (And no, Richmond CA is not a large enough city to confer automatic notability on its city councillors, either.) Bearcat (talk) 16:17, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article is essentially a repost of an AfD deleted article (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vinnie vineyard) with the addition of a current run for Govenor which also does not infer notability. The reason for the earlier AfD still holds. The Db-repost tag was deleted and reinstated a couple of times.
Paraphrased from the original AfD
OK, so there are multiple possible claims to notability, but I found none of them hold the water.

Delete unelected candidates for office are not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:43, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify. As near as I can tell, Pennsylvania does not simply acclaim uncontested candidates to office the moment the primaries are over — the state follows a process whereby she still has to actually get actual votes from actual voters on general election day before she's actually declared as the rep-elect. As much of a meaningless formality as this may seem, it's not — with two months still to go before election day and another month after that before the newly elected legislators actually have their status bumped up from rep-elect to incumbent officeholder, it remains entirely possible in the meantime that an "uncontested" candidate could withdraw their candidacy for personal or professional or scandal reasons, or die in a car accident, and thus not actually become the actual rep. (And for that matter, while I don't know if Pennsylvania is one of them or not, there are some jurisdictions where even an unopposed candidate still has to beat an explicit "none of the above" option on election day to actually win the election.) So her running unopposed is not, in and of itself, a reason to waive WP:NPOL — even if the election itself looks like a formality, there still do remain ways in which she could fail to actually become the incumbent representative. She still has to go into general election day as a person who actually gets voted for by the voters of her district, and power-enwiki is correct that the coverage shown so far is not so compelling as to exempt her from being treated the same way as everybody else who has to get voted for by the voters of their districts first — and furthermore, there appear to be at least six other districts across the state where a non-incumbent Democratic or Republican candidate is also running unopposed, without any of those other candidates besides Lee and Innamorato having been deemed automatically article-worthy by any Wikipedia editor yet. So it's "inevitable" enough that we should permit this to be held in draftspace, while making sure to clarify that draftspacing it is not otherwise setting a precedent to allow routine draftification of just any article about just any candidate — but it's not "inevitable" enough to grant her a mainspace exemption from NPOL yet, because as of today there are still ways in which she could not actually become a state legislator in December. Bearcat (talk) 17:23, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Her primary win was major news in Pennsylvania and was also covered nationally by the New Yorker, Washington Post, and NPR, among others. The article does not make this clear, but she is unopposed in the general election and therefore the presumptive representative-elect for her district; statewide office holders are presumed notable per WP:POLITICIAN, including those who have not yet assumed office. The article could definitely use some work but she easily passes WP:GNG and is a clear keep for me. Camerafiend (talk) 14:44, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
However, the election isn't until November. That brief, minor flurry of post-election is WP:BLP1E. I can see an excellent argument for moving this to somebody's user space.

It's true that something unexpected might happen and she could end up not being elected (which might in itself be notable depending on the circumstances). If she quietly drops out of the race and we never hear from her again, then yes, this can and should be deleted as BLP1E. But barring an unforeseen event, she will formally win office in two months and I don't really see the harm in letting the article exist in the meantime. (That said, it looks like others are leaning toward draftifying and that seems like an acceptable compromise to me.) Camerafiend (talk) 20:03, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bearcat (talk) 17:24, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect without prejudice of recreation once November rolls around - we cannot presume she will win, even if she is running unopposed. I would consider this to be a similar case to a young footballer who hasn't yet appeared for the first team, but is likely to shortly - it's simply just WP:TOOSOON. I'd vote to draftify, but I think a redirection to whatever state legislative election page we can find is a better option, since there's not much to the article - the link to her campaign website violates WP:PROMO. SportingFlyertalk 02:03, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There's no need to WP:IAR, because there is no policy or guideline against keeping articles on unelected candidates. WP:NPOL explicitly says that Just being [...] an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". It's uncontested that she passes GNG, and her high probability of assuming office is a further reason to keep the article. FourViolas (talk) 15:56, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not convinced it does meet GNG; the coverage is largely local and about one event (her primary victory). A profile in Elle magazine probably doesn't help, and a NYTimes article only has trivial mentions of her (in the context of that one event). power~enwiki (π, ν) 16:52, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly there is more than significant coverage in reliable (local and regional) news sources independent of the candidate (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Tribune-Review, Pittsburgh City Paper); that's all that is necessary to pass GNG. Beyond this, shorter discussions in nationwide sources (NYT, Economist, New Yorker demonstrate broad interest, and per WP:BASIC they could be combined to establish notability even if no regional sources were considered. There is coverage of Innamorato throughout her campaign, not just of the event of winning the primary; see the first article I just linked. FourViolas (talk) 18:38, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think she passes WP:GNG either. Almost all political candidates will receive coverage of their political campaigns. There's nothing in my search showing this campaign will be particularly notable if she were to lose the upcoming election - it all seems promotional or routine. SportingFlyertalk 18:51, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
GNG says nothing about whether an article subject is a "particularly notable" example of the category it belongs to—this is a perpetual misperception of people unfamiliar with WP:N and misled by the ordinary usage of "notability". The fact that politicians whose campaigns are of interest to the public regularly receive coverage is hardly a reason to ignore the coverage when it exists; see WP:NOTROUTINE#Politics. WP:ROUTINE is supposed to apply to things like wedding announcements and crime logs; it would apply if the only coverage to be found merely stated that she declared her candidacy and received x% of the vote, which is clearly not the case here. FourViolas (talk) 20:37, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but just because someone is in the news for a short period of time doesn't automatically qualify them for an article. Consensus shows unelected candidates are frequently redirected/draftifyed in order to avoid several "what Wikipedia is not" concerns. I don't see why this candidate would be any different. (She's likely to win and I'm arguing for consistency's sake.) SportingFlyertalk 21:24, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If there's a local consensus to this effect, we need to have a centralized RfC about it, because it directly contradicts the text of both WP:BASIC and WP:NPOL, and we work by the PAG: see WP:CONLIMITED. Personally, I think it's very valuable to give voters a convenient summary of what secondary sources have to say about the people asking for their vote, and accordingly I think articles on candidates should be kept whenever there is enough coverage in independent reliable secondary sources (addressing WP:NOTPROMO) to say more than a sentence or two about them. FourViolas (talk) 14:21, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think that an RfC on recognizing the notability of major party candidates for the U.S. Senate, for Governor in, say, the 10 largest states by pop., and possibly the U.S. Congress might be worth doing (after Election Day.) But keeping candidates for a seat in a state legislature goes too far. I did look at press coverage before nomination, but this is not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez level coverage, not even close.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:26, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with you - the NPOL note distinctly says, "A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists." If those sources exist, they are not on her article at the moment. If you look at the Politicians articles for deletion page, we frequently delete failed candidates. Once you're notable on Wikipedia, you're always notable, and simply running for office does not automatically make you notable - it makes you a part of the news cycle for a bit, unless you receive continuing significant coverage. SportingFlyertalk 19:20, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Of the first two sources I linked, do you dispute that they are news feature articles, that they are written by journalists, or that they contain in-depth coverage of Innamorato?
And regardless, the point I'm making is that pending a RfC on the working consensus you claim, there's no policy or guideline justifying the routine deletion of failed candidates because they are only notable as failed candidates; WP:NTEMP cuts the opposite way, saying that once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage.FourViolas (talk) 21:19, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As I repeatedly wrote, there is no policy or guideline allowing editors to ignore BASIC, GNG, and NPOL in the case of unelected candidates. If this really is a consensus among people who watchlist politician AfDs, all the more reason to bring it to the broader community to be ratified. FourViolas (talk) 22:47, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And as noted, there are a number of "what Wikipedia is not" which typically apply. WP:RECENT/WP:NOTNEWS, WP:10Y, WP:NPOV, WP:NOTCRYSTAL and WP:PROMO all apply to unelected candidates - and NPOL specifically says unelected candidates are not presumptively notable. SportingFlyertalk 23:07, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Not presumptively notable" is different from "presumptively not notable", and (as I wrote in my !vote) the guideline explicitly states that meeting GNG is a way for such candidates to be notable anyway.
NOTNEWS says that breaking news should not [...] treated differently from other information; a half-dozen in-depth articles in reliable sources about a candidate who ran for office in 1918 would certainly be enough to establish notability, so why not 2018?
NPOV requires fairly representing all reliably published views, and says nothing about notability (that only comes up in WP:FRINGE, which certainly doesn't apply presumptively to all unelected candidates!)
I don't know why you think NOTCRYSTAL is relevant, unless you're begging the question by assuming that actually holding office is the only way for a politician to become notable. NPOL is clear that the latter is not the case.
PROMO is certainly something to watch out for on the article for any active politician, incumbent or not. But unless the only available sources for a politician are partisan outlets of questionable independence, this is not a deletion rationale.
And once again, this is not the place for this discussion. Under the current notability guidelines, Innamorato is a clear keep. You're offering general reasons in favor of changing those policies in the case of unelected candidates; if you think these arguments will win over the community (despite the kinds of objections I just gave), we should start a RfC. Until then, the guidelines that currently exist take precedence. FourViolas (talk) 23:54, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I believe there's a consensus among currently active watchers of politicians-related AfDs; I think that was already clear. But per OSE and CONLIMITED, that consensus does not overrule the notability guidelines (which do not require non-local sources for politicians, just reliable independent in-depth ones like this). FourViolas (talk) 00:38, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify Like I said below, there is still the theoretical possibility that a write-in candidate wins the race. Until then, I think a draft is the best option. This is just a PA Rep race, not a national one. ~EDDY(talk/contribs)~ 21:56, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I made a Google search with a sole intention of improving this article but I could not find reliable sources that would guarantee WP:Notability. It is a season program of a notable set. I made some slight changes to it nonetheless but still feel it doesn't meet inclusion. I thus thought of letting it go through an AfD rather than a direct QD.

Delete based on current content. As explained at Wikipedia:Television episodes, "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. It is important to bear this in mind when creating articles, and it is likely that each individual episode of a television series will not be notable on its own, simply because there are not enough secondary sources available." Without secondary sources, this episode should not have an article of its own. However, if the article creator thinks they can find sources to justify keeping the article, then as an alternative the article can be userfied. --Metropolitan90(talk) 04:47, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is still not referenced well enough to clear our notability standards for annual events, as the only "reference" cited here is the event's own self-published history of itself, not a reliable source that's independent of the event organizers — so the existence of the book is not a WP:GNG pass all by itself in the absence of any other sourcing, and I have been unable to find any other solid sources at all.

Comment: The New York Times article would seem to be the best source, both reasonably substantial and independent. TechCrunch may also meet our criteria. However, I've been unable to find sources of any quality beyond those two already cited – most other independent sources are passing mentions only, as the nomination mentions.

Delete There are no references available that meet the criteria for establishing notability. Neither of the two mentioned above meet the criteria either. As per ORGIND, "Intellectual Independence" states Independent content, in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. The NYT reference relies totally on the company and the founders - no independent opinion/analysys/fact checking/investigation/etc in the article, total churnalism. The TechCrunch reference also fails ORGIND as it is based on a company announcement (even says so in the article). There's always a ton of articles based on funding announcements and this is no exception - here are some more based on the same announcement and they all use the same story facts and quotations: VentureBeat, The NEXT Web, Startup Beat, VC News Daily, Reuters, WWD, etc. HighKing++ 10:21, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Shadowowl: You appear to be dismissing interviews out of hand as primary sources. This isn't consistent with WP:INTERVIEW whereby the fact of the interview itself may confer notability, and there may be significant secondary material within an interview such as biography or analysis by the interviewer. I'm not saying that the links you classify as interviews do confer notability, but I think you need to build your case for that better than just saying interview=primary source. I checked the first link above and there is a significant biography of the subject in it. While this could still bear investigation, e.g. WP:INTERVIEW warns that some sources ask the subject of an interview to write their own biography, it is certainly completely possible that the bio is secondary information.

While All Access Music is frequently used as a source on Wikipedia, the title of that article just strikes me as a bit ... odd. There's this: [42], this is local [43], this is from elsewhere, so not just local cover age [44], this is from a magazine [45]. It's not a lot, but I believe this satisfies WP:GNG which added to the WP:NMUSIC of the one charting EP on Billboard (plus other charts mentioned in the article) is enough.

The result was redirect to Tom Guerra. Article must be kept to preserve attribution for content merged to Tom Guerra. czar 19:50, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
One of the members of this band, Tom Guerra, has his own article that has survived two different AfDs (barely), and I plan to clean up his article with sources found during those AfD debates. Meanwhile this band, Mambo Sons, was one of his side projects. I can find no significant coverage in reliable sources for Mambo Sons, beyond completely run-of-the-mill listings at retail/streaming sites, and their own self-promotion. They have been mentioned in a few news articles that are actually about the slightly more notable Tom Guerra (e.g. [46]). This side band can be mentioned in passing at Guerra's article but they have not achieved notability in their own right. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 17:27, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Tom Guerra. I found more coverage of Guerra (who appears notable enough) than this band, e.g. [47], [48]. This band is obviously a significant part of his career so should at the very least be covered there to the extent that available sources permit. --Michig (talk) 06:57, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note - When the Tom Guerra article survived its AfD back in June, I vowed to clean it up and add references. I finally got around to that today and added verifiable information on Mambo Sons. As the nominator here, I still think that this Mambo Sons article should be deleted, but if the ultimate result of this AfD is to merge, I have already done it. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:15, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Every building just lists the category, HB number, coordinates, and the name. Most of the names are things similar to "Garlieston,11 South Street". There isn't much information to be gained from this article. Beasting123 (talk) 02:38, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I agree with Bsherr's note above: I was surprised to find this detailed structure of list articles across many areas exists here, but insofar as it does, it would be unreasonable to consider creating an omission gap for any particular area (which includes some Category A as well as B buildings) through an individual AfD. (Coincidentally, attention to these List articles may even provide some framework for Wiki Loves Monuments images of the important public buildings during the month to come...) AllyD (talk) 07:39, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Satisfies LISTN, listed buildings being notable as a group. There might be scope for merging some lists if they are short enough to be merged, but that is about it. James500 (talk) 08:56, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm pretty sure I created these lists back in 2012 because someone requested me to add them for Wiki Loves Monuments. Looking at the lists were also indexed for the Monuments Database (tool used for Wiki Loves Monuments), but it dropped out. Not sure why. Usually lists of historic buildings start like this and get expanded over time. I wonder why nothing much happened on these lists. Not editors from Scotland noticed them? I dug some more into the configuration and looks like the renaming of ((HB Scotland row)) and maybe some other things are messing up the indexing. Created phab:T203348 for that. Multichill (talk) 12:01, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – No opinion, but I do think that if this is kept, it should be cut down only to actual historic buildings and renamed something along the lines of "List of historic buildings in Sorbie, Dumfries and Galloway". Redditaddict69 15:54, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
All listed buildings are historic. That is why they are listed. They are also notable under NGEO. James500 (talk) 05:44, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Multichill:@James500: - But if there were a way to cut it down even further, or maybe even merge this with another related article, is what I'm suggesting. Redditaddict69 19:36, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Part of a clearly established and full category. All listed buildings are notable per WP:GEOFEAT, so any one of these could technically have an article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:48, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sensible list-article, a member of Category:Lists of listed buildings in Dumfries and Galloway. If you are a deletionist, you should want to keep this list-article, towards forestalling creation of articles for each of the listed buildings. --Doncram (talk) 06:53, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Randy Weston and a few other war vets who died today were not included in the list, so it doesn't make sense for people to add any more notable veterans, and this page is consuming a bit too many kilobytes. Extrapolaris (talk) 01:04, 2 September 2018 (UTC) Vahe Demrijian[reply]
KeepWP:NOTDONE. Just because one person was missing, doesn't mean the entire article should be deleted. Since articles are contently being written or expanded, things will be missed. I agree it's large, but splitting the article into pieces would be one solution. Emk9 (talk)
Keep. Not sure why the nominator believes the list should be deleted because of the omission of some names. The inclusion rule should be as simple as if the veteran has an article. I do have an issue with the article title including the word "notable". Ajf773 (talk) 02:08, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into List of last surviving veterans of military insurgencies and wars which has a sensible focus on the last few survivors of such conflicts. The current structure won't do because, eventually there won't be any surviving veterans, and so we should switch to a more stable format. Andrew D. (talk) 09:05, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Trivial, a mess to maintain, and probably wrong on the BLP status of quite a few members. This is not a WP:NOTESAL (list of X), but rather a cross-categorization of "Lists of X of Y" - in this case the selection criteria being the intersection of Category:Military personnel of World War II and Category:Living people. Had this been a stable cross-cat (e.g. veterans who were Sherman tank drivers) it would be one thing, but the BLP cat is inherently unstable - and particularly so for this age cohort - which makes for a maintenance nightmare here - and makes this cross-categorization better served by category queries. A merge to List of last surviving veterans of military insurgencies and wars would make sense at some point (when the list of "final survivors" (overall, per country, per service)) are manageable - but not now when the list has over a 1,000 entries.Icewhiz (talk) 14:11, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep No doubt this will loom larger as the conflict recedes into history. Hawkeye7(discuss) 22:09, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not sure if this list satisfies WP:LISTCRUFT definition 6 and 10. What exactly makes someone a "notable veteran of the Second World War" this would not only require research but its open to one's interpretation because different people would define "notable" differently some looking at what they did after the war, while others would argue that any veteran who played a significant part in the war "notable". Making the list infinite or at least close to it Freetheangels (talk) 20:05, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The main reason the word notable is used is to limit the number of people adding relatives to the list. It basically means they need a wikipedia page to be on the list, since otherwise there would be a lot of redlinks. Emk9 (talk)
"Notable" is a Wikipedia term. It means anyone with their own article. We're still at least ten years away from anyone being notable simply for being one of the last, as with List of last surviving World War I veterans. Hawkeye7(discuss) 22:09, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep I was wondering when you'd get around to this article. Just because it needs work doesn't meet it should be deleted. Czolgolz (talk) 00:57, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now. It's (currently) too general/indiscriminate, as there were tens of millions who served in the war, and even the tiny fraction of notable living individuals is still too many. As time goes by, that is becoming less and less of an issue. Other than those who were underage and lied to enlist, they would be in their late 80s at best. As Hawkeye7 has noted, the list will become manageably encyclopedic in about a decade when there are a lot fewer survivors. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:23, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Average life coaches do not have a Forbes article with them as the subject. Portfolio Magazine and Citymatters also have him as the subject; while they are weaker sources, I still think the article passes WP:ANYBIO. Ifnord (talk) 00:37, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Average life coaches do not have a Forbes article with them as the subject
Except that it's NOT a Forbes article, it's their self-published blog section. The Portfolio piece is an interview, so effectively a primary source, and Citymatters is a hyperlocal site (their term) with no reputation as a reliable source I'm aware of. If this is how you analyze sources, maybe you shouldn't be approving new articles, like you did this one.

Keep Thanks for contributing to this discussion. I tried to improve this article as much as possible. Michael Serwa is far from your average life coach anyone who cared to do some research would come to this conclusion. Not only has he worked with some of the biggest names in: business, science, technology, government and the arts but he has written and been the subject of multiple article including Forbes magazine. Who has he worked with? He mention no one by full name but by reading through some of his citations, looking at his website and doing some research you can make some educated guesses. I also went to mention that Serwa is the only life coach to ever appear in the Spears 500 catalog. This listing was mentioned when the article was originally published but was removed shortly after. I feel this is worth mentioning because the Spears 500 catalog is considered the must have catalog for the rich and powerful and listing are chosen based on a persons credentials.
