The result was keep per the number of AfD participants here recommending to do so. However, (personal opinion) after reading through the article, I must admit that the article suffers from WP:REFBOMBing, and most if it just references plot, and not even always about this character. This makes the article a likely target for another AfD in the future, so I recommend thinking about other solutions for covering the fictional IT elements that span several adaptations. – sgeureka t•c 20:31, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This was at AfD and closed as a redirect in September, recreated a day later with more sources, and then has shuffled around between draftspace and mainspace. My initial reaction was that the redirect should be restored, but that has been done enough. There has been a number of new sources added since the last AfD, and so I think the best possible situation here is to have another AfD instead of boldly redirecting the article for the fourth time.

I'm also having a difficult time determining just which sources would demonstrate this character's notability. I'm happy to withdraw or change my opinion if those are clearly demonstrated. SportingFlyer T·C 23:06, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how all those books should be considered "fan-based". If one were to cite 10 published works on Poe or Lovecraft I don't think it should be disregarded as "fan based" just because they cover fiction when the author is a highly notable individual who's works have been disected a ton within literature. King may not be as big as the the two forementioned but he is a giant within horror and his work has been the subject of much analysis, that includes his characters. This isn't just some minor character of his either, its a main figure in one of his most adapted and acclaimed novels.★Trekker (talk) 23:56, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Geo Swan: I typically switch between the older and newer pages in New Page Patrol, this was one of the older pages, and it said it had been recently deleted. I looked at the history to do a bit of research, and saw the article had been recreated and redirected repeatedly. After looking through many of the sources in the article, I didn't see any coverage of the character I thought significant enough to warrant a new article on. Instead of redirecting and turning this into an edit war, I thought an AfD discussion would be the best solution. I've looked through the books mentioned above by @Treker: and while the character's name gets mentioned several times, at no point does that coverage appear to be significant - for instance, in Dissecting Stephen King, the character's name only appears briefly on three pages, the Complete Stephen King Universe discusses what seems to be every character, the Shape Under the Sheet is an encyclopaedia of minutia about King novels, The Moral Voyage appears to be okay but it's printed in Courier New, the copyright of the book is flagrantly wrong, and it appears to have been republished (ie there's a chance it's not a reliable source.) The fact the article is source-bombed (there are 11 references for a single sentence) makes this very difficult to check and see if the sources in the article are both reliable and cover the subject significantly. I don't have any opinion on whether this should be kept or not, but I don't see how it passes WP:GNG with significant coverage in reliable sources, I'm happy to let others direct me to those sources, and I'm not going to be keeping my opinions to myself. This needed to be discussed, and I'm fine if it's kept, but I would like to see actual significant coverage of this character. SportingFlyer T·C 21:55, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your disecting of the sources seems flawed to me, 1) how many times a characters name is mentined is rather trivial compared to the information one can extract from the text, 2) claiming that because the book covers a lot of Stephen Kings characters that makes the coverage of this specific character less worthwhile is a poor way to reason in my mind, only thing that really implies is that King has written many characters with coverage, which is incredibly unsuprising considering his career and success, 3) I don't see how a book being republished is as issue (maybe I'm misunderstanding something here), 4) when deciding if a topic is notable one should not look at only the article itself as the shape it is for the moment, if we only did that then tons of articles on some of the most notable things in the world would be deleted, the best thing to do is to search for sources oneself (Im aware this take much more effort but it is the safe way to do it) and judge what you find. Those books I cited are only some of the few I could find within two pages of searching on Google Books.★Trekker (talk) 22:16, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
At least for me, the Google Books falls off by about Page 4. I don't think searching for the character's name within the text is a flawed way to search at all - if there was a chapter dedicated to the character I'd change my !vote to keep. The fact the character's only mentioned a couple times within these sources is a red flag to me. I have no problem with using the information found within encyclopaedias to flesh out the article, but using an encyclopaedia which covers every single character as the basis for notability is a red flag to me. The fact the book has been republished isn't itself an issue, but I can't find that much information about the book or author, and the way it's typeset doesn't look professional (looks like something self-published with a typewriter) which is a red flag to me. The fact the page is badly source-bombed is a red flag to me. I've even looked through Google Scholar, which has a number of mentions of Denbrough but I haven't found anything I would consider significant. I'm still not sure this character is notable enough for a standalone article. I'm happy to be convinced otherwise, though. SportingFlyer T·C 22:45, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well it seems rather clear that you've already made up your mind, I'm not going to try to push you if this is simply the way you feel after looking at all the avalable sources. I've made my case and am happy with it, if we disagree then we disagree.★Trekker (talk) 23:44, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, it's on track to be kept anyways and there's nothing wrong with disagreement! I'm still happy to listen to a response as to why these sources demonstrate notability, as it's not obvious to me (or a couple others) - it may not get me to change how I feel about this particular article but at the very least it will make it easier for me to patrol the project going forward, as none of the keep !voters have discussed why the sources (or which sources) are significant so far. If you could pick what you think are the WP:THREE best sources I'd still appreciate your input, but no worries if you want to move on. SportingFlyer T·C 03:23, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's fair. I looked to see if the book could have been self-published rather than looking at the author. It was originally published by Starmont House [3], a specialty publisher, and that link notes why the quality of the publication was so terrible. (To be fair, if the criticism had been published academically, I wouldn't have any trouble with the source at all.) SportingFlyer T·C 04:23, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • SportingFlyer, thanks for returning here.
  • In the first couple of paragraphs of your reply you refer to checking the references in the article. Excuse me if I voice a concern over this approach. Topics that are notable should not be deleted when the current state of the article is weak. Rather, as per WP:BEFORE, don't those who call for deletion have an obligation to look beyond the references in the article? Don't they have an obligation to conduct an independent web search, so they could form their own informed conclusion as to whether the topic is or isn't notable. Maybe you did this, and just didn't mention it. But, if you don't do a web search, to reach your own informed conclusion as to whether a topic is or isn't notable, I would strongly encourage you to start doing so. It is what is best for the project. Unfortunately, in recent years, we see an increasing number of contributors nominating articles without complying with BEFORE. And we see an increasing number of people who take the nominator's claims about article's references at face value, and add a "delete" opinion, without even looking at the article in question.

    Finally, a large number of our articles can't have the underlying notability of their topics confirmed or refuted by a naive web search. (1) the web search links at the top of an AFD can be almost worthless when an article's title is disambiguated; (2) naive web searches can be insufficient when a genuinely notable person has more famous namesakes; (3) naive web searches are generally insufficient when an individual played a role in a recent highly covered event. There were over half a dozen people who tried to get the newly created article on Chesley Sullenberger deleted - because their use of google was naive. I found, on that day, that, even though 99 percent of the coverage of Sullenberger was recent and repetitive coverage of his heroic landing, the remaining 1 percent included significant coverage of earlier events, so he wasn't a BLP1E.

  • With regard to significant coverage. A dozen references, or even one hundred references, that each report the same single detail, do not add up to significant coverage. But a dozen references, or even half a dozen references, that each only report one or two details, can add up to significant coverage, if they document a half dozen different details.
  • With regard to dismissing encyclopedias. I think we all agree that encyclopedia ar as refticles written by non-notable individuals, who aren't reliable sources, should not be used as references. But encyclopedias, or encyclopedia like things, written by reliable sources, should continue be used as references. I used to keep my copy of Isaac Asimov's Biographical Dictionary of Science beside my computer. I have used references to the Canadian Dictionary of Biography in dozens of articles.

    Similarly, a blanket dismissal of "blogs" is ill-advised. Some online publications called blogs are highly reliable and highly regarded. Newspaper columnists who cover the US Supreme Court routinely cite the opinions voiced in SCOTUSBLOG. Geo Swan (talk) 03:41, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Geo Swan: This is a bit of a unique AfD. I'm not actively looking to delete the article, but rather am attempting, procedurally, to see if restoring a redirect is the proper course of action. I almost always conduct a WP:BEFORE search (the exceptions don't include this article, but rather where the reason for deletion is obvious), and the initial search didn't bring up anything that I thought established notability beyond the sources in the article. I also focused on the difference in the sourcing between the last redirected article and the current article, as the current version contains over 20 new sources to go through, so I primarily looked to see which of those sources demonstrated notability The last AfD closed with the statement (quoting Tone: If there are more sources with analysis or so, then maybe return separate articles but not in the present state. (What's also interesting is no character section exists at the It (novel) article.) Since this AfD, I've also searched Google Books and Google Scholar. If you're insinuating I've missed sources, I'm happy to review any additional sources, but I simply do not understand which of the available sources are clearly reliable and clearly demonstrate notability. I'm also not suggesting encyclopaedias aren't reliable sources. I'm concerned the fact something was mentioned in an specialist encyclopaedia doesn't automatically suggest the topic notable enough for Wikipedia. Is every single King character notable since it was listed in The Complete Stephen King Universe? The Shape under the Sheet is an encyclopaedia which includes minutia such as "Forty miles an hour" (the speed Denbrough drove) and "United Flight 41" (the flight number another character flew in another book.) Ultimately, I'm interested in the question - what makes a fictional character notable, and which sources out there show Denbrough is notable enough for his own article per WP:GNG? And ultimately, I'm interested in answering the question through identifying which sources demonstrate his notability, which no one here has really done yet.

You're not addressing the literature I've found.★Trekker (talk) 19:39, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • TTN, checking for references that support the notability of articles before AFD is one area where wikipedia contributors efforts routinely fall short. If you meant to suggest that those who contributed to the article should have been more selective, and used fewer but better references, you are correct. Note: this is an editorial issue - not grounds for deletion.

    Your comment very strongly suggests you made a very common error - one I already warned about, in this discussion. It sounds like, instead of conducting your own web search, you merely looked at the article's existing references.

    However, our policies are, and always have been, that the notability of a topic should not be evaluated on the existing state of the article. When we have a weak article on a topic that is nevertheless notable, policy calls on us to improve the weak article, not delete it. So, please, don't form your conclusions on the notability of topics based on the references currently in the article.

    Is this more work? Sure. Is this a problem? No.

    The wikipedia has a kind of auto-immune disorder. When humans have auto-immune disorders their immune systems attacks healthy organs. Well, AFD is part of the wikipedia's immune system. We made policy changes, and technical changes, that have made it easier to nominate articles for deletion. It is too easy. TTN, the efforts you made to look at references to support the notability of the Bill Denbrough character have fallen short.

    Tony Magistrale is one of King's most respected biographers. His academic career has focussed on King, and he is widely quoted, and asked to comment by journalists. So, what does he say say about Denbrough?

    King may have created hundreds of fictional characters, maybe thousands of fictional characters, in his many stories. I don't know how many wikipedia articles we have on King's characters. I would be very surprised if most of King's characters weren't notable topics, weren't the target of serious commentary from serious academics and serious literary critics. I would have no problem deleting or redirecting articles on King characters who haven't been the target of serious commentary. However, the Bill Denbrough character is, apparently, one of the small subset of King characters who serious academics and literary critics have identified as a character King uses as a surrogate. The Bill Denbrough character is one of the small subset of King's characters who are authors, like King. Geo Swan (talk) 17:51, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article needs a new lead paragraph. The Tony Magistrale book, prematurely dismissed above, explains why the character of Bill Denbrough is more notable than the hundreds of other characters King created in his books. In some of his books King creates characters who are writers. Denbrough is one of the much more limited set of characters King created, who are writers, who King uses to covertly reply to his critics, or to comment on the life of a writer.

    The lead paragraph should state this as the character's primary notability claim. Geo Swan (talk) 04:18, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @2pou: As far as I can tell, any time a redirect is removed, the page gets flagged for NPP oversight. It generally works pretty well. SportingFlyer T·C 21:56, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right for the redirect, which then came to you. What I didn't understand is if it was sitting with a NPP flag after after the history merge, and why bother with the merge in the first place, if it wasnt going to pass a NPP review later. -2pou (talk) 22:50, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The sources you've added did come up in my BEFORE search, but most were dismissed per WP:NFRINGE ("The notability of a fringe theory must be judged by statements from verifiable and reliable sources, not the proclamations of its adherents") or other reasons.
Red XN Cryptozoology A-Z is written by Loren Coleman and Jerome Clark, both fringe cryptozoology proponents.
Red XN Mysterious Creatures: A Guide to Cryptozoology is written by George M. Eberhart, another fringe proponent.
Red XN Bear Conservation doesn't cite any sources and appears to be lifted from Wikipedia. Compare the April 2019 archive (last updated 16 September 2017) to the December 2016 version of our article. The archive doesn't go back far enough to be conclusive, but in my experience the use of "alleged subspecies" is a dead giveaway. I've never seen anything called an "alleged species" outside of poorly-sourced cryptozoology-related Wikipedia articles.
checkY This leaves us with one good source, The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals, which points out that the proposed species is based on a single specimen and its status as a valid taxon is uncertain.
We're down to a single paragraph in a single source, which might carry enough weight to merit a mention at Subspecies of brown bear. –dlthewave ☎ 14:24, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently a low-budget movie made in some guy's basement that never seems to have attracted any coverage in reliable sources of any note. Only one source currently in the article can really be considered a source. There's passing mention here, but I don't have really much else to offer. It claims to have a number of notable people as voice actors, but I've got no real source for any of it. Claims to have a 6.5m budget, but I've got no source for that either.

Completing nomination on behalf of User:TheLongTone, who offered no rationale. My read is that the article has no sources to indicate notability, and none are apparent in my searches. Further, the tone of the article suggests an attempt at promotion, which would fall afoul of several of our guidelines. I'll message TheLongTone to come here and provide additional commentary on their rationale. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 13:35, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Named professorships are typically endowed positions, which just means that they are specially funded. They are typically given to professors who rise above their peers at their local institution, but that does not mean that they are notable by Wikipedia's standards. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:12, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonesey95: Really? I thought that Full Professor or any endowement establishes notabolity per WP:Academics #5? See: this.--Biografer (talk) 20:51, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. The wording of that criterion is completely at odds with the spirit of WP:GNG; it essentially allows a rich donor to purchase "notability" for academics. Johns Hopkins University alone has 483 endowed professorships! That's more professors than there are players in the entire National Basketball Association! But I try not to get involved in WP drama, so I'll bow out of this one. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:52, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It did not seem that some were familiar with it before this AfD, or not with #5. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:44, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You need not explain it in detail; the entire discussion before your comment is discussing it, and everyone before your comment has rejected the SNG in this case. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 14:54, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I did read all the comments. I would take comments like "Wow" and "absurdity" as indicating lack of familiarity with the criteria. That is one of the reasons why I think that this is not the place to discuss changes to this SNG. Clearly all the editors contributing so far have a different opinion, but WP:NACADEMIC is very clear that academics meeting any one of the criteria are notable, and there is nothing in #5 that says "held a named chair appointment (as long as they were a full professor, associate professors holding named chairs don't count)". It's also clear, in the Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Specific_criteria_notes, that sources outside the institution are not required to verify that the person meets one of the criteria ("For documenting that a person has held such an appointment (but not for a judgement of whether or not the institution is a major one), publications of the appointing institution are considered a reliable source.") I believe that Biografer was quite justified in writing an article about this person, but if no other editors agree (or not enough), then I guess this will end up being one of the "occasional exceptions" mentioned in the box at the top of WP:NPROF.

  • Something must be wrong with me, because for some reason, I didn't even think of that. I would strongly support a redirect rather than an outright deletion.

  • I have done that before so I understand. I recommended Sofia Talvik as the redirect target because the album is already mentioned in the article. The Florida (Sofia Talvik album) article does not mention the acoustic version, but that information could easily be merged to make it a more suitable redirect target.

Eldarion is very important in the former, and not at all in the later. He is not a minor character in The Lord of the Rings, he is a non-character. He is not even born until after the end of the plot. I am not even sure his name appears in the book per se, he is sourced it seems to the appendix, which in and of itself is generally a sign of non-notablity, not that being named in a book, even one as widely read as The Lord of the Rings makes one notable. We actually have a heavy legacy of pre-2010 articles on characters from literature, broadly defined, including works of literature that purport to be histories and are held as such by many of their reeaders (such as scripture), that are very low on 3rd party sourcing showing impact beyond those works. However the very fact that the article on Eldarion exists is probably the most extreme example of this I have ever seen. Yes, he sort of appears in a film, and true it was a very popular film, it at the time managed to become the 2nd highest grossing film ever, and still stands at number 26, although it may fall 28 or so when the Christmas holiday movie takes are all recorded. However Eldarion is not named in that film, and only appears briefly in a dream or vision of the future. Yes, Tolkien put pen to paper to write a story of the days when Eldarion was king, but he never made it more than a few papges into The New Shadow. The fact that such a non=character has had their article survive for just shy of 16 years is the saddest commentatry on Wikipedia possible.

Space 1999 was a substantial series in its day, from one of the major UK producers of TV sci-fi. With the techniques of the day, model-based filming made the vehicles an important part of it. This deserves an article.
Yet again, I would also question what TTN thinks they're doing here, and if the damage they're causing is really a good thing? Andy Dingley (talk) 14:34, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's why this needs to go to AN. The amount of damage piling up from this is getting ridiculous. Especially when categories are now being deleted because their entries have been filed at AfD, without even bothering to wait for any sort of consensus result. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:57, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Damage is very strange take on it. There is no such thing as permanent deletion on this site outside of specific revisions removed for very specific reasons. Anything can come back if it establishes notability, so anyone acting like deletion is in any way damaging is being disingenuous. As people like to often claim there is WP:NORUSH when keeping articles, the inverse is also true. There is no rush to have dozens of articles on fictional minutia before proving themselves notable. These categories, regardless if the AfDs pass or not, still only have two articles, so you're kind of skipping the real point of deletion there. TTN (talk) 15:05, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Fancruft minutia" seems to be what's passing for a popular reasoning here, but that's neither a valid reason per our policy, nor even supported by the evidence. In particular, you say "only two articles", ignoring that they're list articles. So you're claiming that 2001, one of the most famous s-f films ever, is so inconsequential that nothing about its vehicles is notable? Or here, a UK TV series which still attracts a large following, 40 years on? None of that is any part of WP's notability policy. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:42, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're using word like famous, important, and major as if any of those have any particular meaning in deciding Wikipedia's content. Sources are all that matter. The most inconsequential piece of a work of fiction can have an article if it's sufficiently talked about in sources. While I disagree that it should be a thing, current unspoken consensus is that only character lists are necessary article forks. After that, everything has to prove its own worth. These lists have no utility unless there is enough real world information to justify them. TTN (talk) 16:52, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Famous" is literally how we judge notability. We go by how much secondary attention is paid to topics. These are ship lists for two major fictional works, within the genre of s-f. Characters having a hard time in space otherwise, vehicles have always been a major aspect of that. This is why there is still such an interest in the vehicles of both series, why there is plenty published about them, why they remain such popular subjects amongst modellers (just look at the IPMS exhibition every year) and why we have articles on the people like Brian Johnson and Martin Bower who made them. (I expect these articles to be on your AfD list next). Andy Dingley (talk) 03:41, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Fancruft minutia" is shorthand for obscure, in-universe plot details that no reliable sources take notice of, like Starship paint jobs: Why only Romulans, of all peoples, have any style or Lack of left-handed Uruk-hai in film: Fatal handicap or discrimination? Clarityfiend (talk) 20:46, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • So apart from literally making stuff up as a reason why those might need to be deleted, do you have anything of relevance here? Andy Dingley (talk) 01:31, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Personal opinion: AfD nom pages are the dark back rooms of Wikipedia where most experienced editors keep well away from. Lately many science fiction or fantasy lists and pages have been cut down one by one, with probably many more to go, and I really wish that some kind of moratorium could be set in place in order to have a site-wide discussion of where to draw the line. I'd suggest that if a page is "kept" in an AfD, even once or twice, then that page should be off-limits for deletion forever. I dislike commenting on these things, and to go thru the fights to save them which sometimes go on far too long even after cites are found and the initial reasoning for deleting them is fixed. Maybe harsh language, but here in the back room, where few enter, too many interesting articles created by caring editors who present subjects such as this one find few defenders (thank you so much, Andy, for venturing into these fights much more often than I do). Seeing articles being deleted from templates on my watch list (I refuse to keep track of the daily AfD nom page itself because I enjoy editing Wikipedia) and seeing that logical common sense is overshadowed by words like "Fancruft minutia", reduces that sense of fun and appreciation of accomplishment. The work of creative editors viewed by hundreds and thousands of readers (remember, people have to click on the title List of Space: 1999 vehicles in order to read it, so, you know, maybe they want to read it?) then, poof, casually upended. I've never seen an episode of Space: 1999. But other readers have. And what they do is to click on such things as this otherwise blah article on spacecraft because they care about the subject enough to learn more. Deletion is unwarranted here. My apologies if I've offended anyone with this comment, but please know that I do assume good faith while, at the same time, not understanding where the urge to delete established pages comes from. I just know I don't have that urge. So please assume good faith in my comment as coming from someone who doesn't have that mindset, and hence, being incapable of fully understanding it, needs to vent at what I experience as the illogical removal of long-term popular pages. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 06:37, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a list of fictional minutia. There are some extremely trivial film production details. If they're not already covered in the film articles, they're likely too trivial to cover on this site. If any are notable, it'd be the one that already has an article (though current condition indicates it should be removed unless a search shows sources), so there is little likelihood of these establishing notability as a group.

Fails WP:GNG, and by extension WP:N, and the coverage is routine statistical listings. Subject made two first-class appearances, and is long since retired. Technically, the subject meets WP:CRIN, but this forms a part of WP:NSPORT, which clearly states that "the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept". Per this discussion, community consensus is that "subject-specific notability guidelines do not supersede the general notability guideline, except in clear cases where GNG does not apply." In this case, coverage is so meagre that we do not even have the players full name. Harrias talk 10:53, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If that is true (and I'm not saying it isn't) that means we need to look at expanding and cleaning up a heck of a lot of non-English non-Test first-class players. Forgive me, I'll leave alone now, just leaving a note which (hopefully) will encourage us to look at a lot more first-class cricketers to see what we can do. Sorry. Not an intention to badger - just to leave a general note to myself and others to expand articles based on available sources, etc. A shame that it takes us AfDs to suggest the idea. The fact that it takes ten years for anyone even to raise an eyelid... upsets me. Bobo. 21:07, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be a page for a gaming league that carries no notability.

Keep I created and edited this page but published without any references, now they are in the text including the ones you mentioned about sponsors and partners. Other teams outside of eSports usually have sponsors linked on their pages, such as soccer teams.

So, setting aside the mangled citations (I tried searching for those ISBN numbers and found nothing that looked relevant to the subject), this is an interview in the publication of a student summer program, and a poem published in a pay-to-play anthology of unclear significance? Plus you appear to share a last name with the subject?. signed, Rosguill talk 03:20, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed with Rosguill. Those sources are useless - Interviews are not acceptable citations except to prove "This is what <foo> actually believes/argues" and do nothing for notability like all other sources contributed to or written by the subject or their satellites. And if you're citing a dead-tree source you need to include the minimum amount of information to look it up - onus is on you for that.

This is explicitly a WP:TNT nomination. It's unsourced and has been for a year, but the article is not even completely in English anymore as of recently. I looked for sources, but I couldn't find any which were reliable.

Proposed deletion for lack of notability. There simply is none. Citations in the entry are local publications (and several of the subject's own tweets) mentioning some trash cleanups he organized.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, — JJMC89 (T·C) 02:16, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The coverage of Pache is similar to the coverage that any decent minor league player would receive - there's nothing suggesting he's more notable than any specific minor leaguer per the ten year test, and WP:NBASE allows us to redirect/merge the article to the prospect page. That's a typical solution for these sorts of articles on minor leaguers, and we can always recreate it if he makes the bigs. SportingFlyer T·C 23:29, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • If a subject passes GNG, we don't care whether his coverage is similar to other "decent" players. That's irrelevant. If he passes GNG, he is notable. And at that point, NBASE is irrelevant. 2604:2000:E010:1100:A129:823B:7DD2:1814 (talk) 00:07, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nope. WP:NBASE discusses which type of coverage counts towards WP:GNG for baseball players, and he doesn't quite meet that threshold. If the standard for baseball players was just "has been written about," almost every prospect would be notable. SportingFlyer T·C 00:16, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not true. It's basic that if you meet GNG, you don't need to meet more narrow alternative ways to notability such as Wikipedia:Notability (sports). Which NBASE is part of. As the overarching introduction to Wikipedia:Notability (sports) states: "This guideline is used to help evaluate whether or not a sports person ... is likely to meet the general notability guideline, and thus merit an article in Wikipedia. The article should provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the general notability guideline or the sport specific criteria set forth below.... If the article does meet the criteria set forth below, then it is likely that sufficient sources exist to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article. Failing to meet the criteria in this guideline means that notability will need to be established in other ways (e.g. the general notability guideline...." So - if you meet GNG, it is irrelevant whether you meet NBASE. Editors who seem to be especially active in discussing GNG vs SNG would include User:Masem and User:North8000, but if you really want an in depth discussion of this (again) you could consider starting it at the talk page of GNG.2604:2000:E010:1100:A129:823B:7DD2:1814 (talk) 00:33, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nope, WP:NBASE specifically qualifies what type of coverage is suitable for determining notability of baseball players. Pache's only claim to notability is that he is a top baseball prospect, but not all top baseball prospects are automatically notable - just because a player receives coverage for being a baseball player does not automatically mean that player is notable. All of the coverage of Pache is routine for a minor league baseball player. SportingFlyer T·C 01:49, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • First, I think you're wrong as to GNG; please read the above. Perhaps others will chime in. Second, I think you are perhaps somewhat exaggerating when you assert that all of his coverage is "routine" for a minor league player; it is routine for a player who has made All Star Teams for three years running, has been named the 2019 MLB Pipeline Best Outfield Defender in the minor leagues, and is rated the # 11 prospect in baseball. That is, perhaps, a different class of player. Perhaps that is why he has attracted GNG coverage. But as to why, that is unimportant - it is enough that he has GNG coverage. 2604:2000:E010:1100:B0A7:9006:7E1D:BCAA (talk) 03:47, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • We entirely disagree, but he hasn't actually attracted WP:GNG-level coverage: he has generated the level of coverage expected for a minor league prospect of his caliber. A simple before search includes a flurry of minor league transactions (not qualifying for WP:GNG) and Braves prospect watches - these usually aren't considered independent enough of the subject to qualify for WP:GNG, as noted in the delete !votes above. There is absolutely nothing wrong with including this information, as we traditionally have, Atlanta Braves minor league players#Cristian Pache, and creating a standalone article when the player either makes the majors or somehow becomes otherwise independently notable.

Obscure UFO report fails WP:NFRINGE. At about this time there were hundreds if not thousands of these sorts of "yokel finds UFO in his backyard" stories in local media. There are grey-lit books chock-a-block full of them. That is not enough to establish the notability of the claims enough for a standalone article. This looks like it may have been started by an erstwhile fan of the story, and I have some sympathy for that because this story is a delight if a bit cringey and eye-rolly. jps (talk) 02:06, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, I thought Mosely's book was a fun and instructive read. But the text says he was prompted on his adventure after "Perusing the flying saucer file of The Atlanta Constitution..." [18], which could mean old, unpublished reports kept in a file, and no actual published record in the newspaper. How wrong I was. It's the second entry down in the the (paywalled) newspapers.com archive, dated Wednesday July 8, 1953,[19], and the second snippet view mentions Horton's discovery of a "kite shaped apparatus". - LuckyLouie (talk) 19:30, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
