Appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST.I tried several different searches with his name and I can't find anything without searching alongside an author name, and then it's an illustration credit at most. I found several articles about a Bob Warner who compiled art by Ray Johnson, but all are primarily focused on Johnson's work and mention Warner only as the curator of the collection. I'm not sure if it's even the same Warner. Skeletor3000 (talk) 23:58, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating the article for deletion, as the article subject seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. The topic has not accrued the level of in-depth, independent coverage in WP:RS to be considered as meeting WP:GNG, and has failed to meet any of the criteria laid down by WP:NMUSICIAN. Most of the coverage about the subject comes from blogs, listing sites, or is based around WP:PRIMARY information like interviews. Several sources cited in the current article ([2],[3] for example) make no mention of the article subject at all. In short, not enough coverage has been accrued by the subject to establish their notability. SamHolt6 (talk) 23:32, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lord Mayor is a ceremonial post that rotates among the city's councillors. It's not something we'd generally take as proving notability. WP:ROUTINE and WP:NOTNEWS apply. Bondegezou (talk) 08:32, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See also: List of mayors of Belfast -- most other Lord Mayors of Belfast have biographies on wikipedia. SVUKnight (talk) 09:21, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have sought input at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Politics_of_the_United_Kingdom#Are_Lord_Mayors_notable? on whether being a Lord Mayor is in and of itself sufficient to establish notability. Standing for election does not imbue notability: see WP:NPOL. His GAA achievements are not listed in the article: please say more and we can look at relevant sportspeople notability criteria. Welcoming Prince Charles seems like WP:ROUTINE, not something that in itself is of much encyclopaedic note, but do share any reliable sources on the matter.

WP:NGAELIC would be the appropriate notability guideline for his sporting activities. I am afraid I am too ignorant of Gaelic sport to work out whether he qualifies under that or not.

If he is elected, then the page can be restored after the election as has been the case in other MP candidate pages. --RaviC (talk) 09:21, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Interviewed by X" is not a notability criterion. People are notable if they're the subject of coverage, not if they're the giver of soundbite in an article about some other subject besides themselves. And, as noted, we have the ability to restore deleted articles if circumstances change, so the fact that he might win the election is not a valid reason to suspend AFD consideration in the interim — if we were to declare a moratorium on deleting candidate articles X days before the election, then every candidate in every election could just bumrush Wikipedia with their campaign brochures on Day X. Bearcat (talk) 02:45, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If a standalone interview is published by a reliable source, I would say it's some indication of notability. That said, it seems it is yet to be published. buidhe 02:48, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Except that it's not. A person has to be the subject of a source before it assists in establishing notability, not a speaker in coverage of some other subject. Bearcat (talk) 02:50, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of secondary sources. If this proposed legislation hasn't attracted mainstream media attention, just how notable is it? Australian bills don't generally have their own articles.

Other than a listing on IMDB, there is no mention anywhere of this movie, so it's not notable. It has not begun production so fails WP:NFF. Article was previously speedy-deleted for G3.

It’s completely fake. A 2020 release would’ve been announced for production a while ago. There’s no way they wouldn’t have announced this already if it was real, considering the Mario movie by Illumination was announced in development a while ago and is set for a later release than 2020.

  • Typically, redirects from an article such as this will be deleted, so there would be no particular reason for anything to be retained. TTN (talk) 18:33, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not redirects from, redirects to this page. See Wikipedia:Merge and delete: "Pages that have been merged to other articles should almost never be deleted, since our copyright requires all authors to be publicly credited". There are currently 41 pages that redirect to Middle-earth plants. It may be that there is a reason that deletion is OK, and still satisfies the licensing requirements, but if anyone wanted to merge some of this content to other articles, it would be necessary to preserve the edit history in some way to satisfy the attribution requirements of Wikipedia's licensing.

Non-notable local convention/center. Most of the news coverage is related to somebody trespassing on top of the building in 2017. The article has no sources, makes no claim to notability, and the first sentence of the article is literally "The following is a commercial for Myrtle Beach convention center." I thought about proposed deletion, but decided that an AfD discussion is probably a better method in case somebody can find something useful about this. Even if kept, the article is going to require WP:TNT based on its present state. Hog Farm (talk) 18:55, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This one's bad judgment on my part. When I came across the article, it was literally an advertisement. So I rushed my WP:BEFORE when I shouldn't have. I withdrew my nom so I didn't waste everybody's time, but I didn't close the discussion because I'm not 100% sure how to do that and I don't want to break the AfD log (I'm accident-prone, my limit to break things has no bounds). I ran into some issues with a previous Afd because my search engine puts a strong emphasis on USA-domained sites, and most of the RS were registered in Canada. I've learned my lesson about AfD'ing non-United States topics from that. Sorry. Hog Farm (talk) 04:06, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

comment What we use around here is general notability. An instructor could be notable within an institution, a custom tool notable within a niche community, so on without being generally notable. When there is lack of general notability, there is no notability to "show".

  • "Other stuff exists" is not an argument. Articles must abide by WP:N. Fictional articles also must abide by WP:WAF and WP:NOTPLOT. This article fails all three. TTN (talk) 17:36, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This article could be fixed to meet the criteria for all three of those. So instead of deleting it, why not fix it? The character itself is not unrecognizable in DC comics. And the reason I brought up other D-list character pages on WP is because those articles have established notability, despite their characters having a rather small role in the comics. This article could be brought up to snuff as well. -TrynaMakeADollar (talk) 19:17, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You’d need to provide sources to make such an argument. I typically disagree with most sources presented in these AfDs, but I’d gladly withdraw anything I truly believe properly sourced. TTN (talk) 21:14, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If the article can be fixed to abide by the above sources and guidelines, that inherently means you need to provide real world sources about the character, more than simply appearing in comics. If you don't actually understand them, I'd recommend reading them. They are non-negotiable when dealing with fictional topics. TTN (talk) 11:57, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Iran–United States relations. Seems like we have a pretty clear consensus to get rid of this article, but not so clear consensus about whether a merge or deletion are the appropriate way - there are sound arguments on both sides regarding the presence or lack of coverage. Thus this is a redirect, so that people can work out in additional discussions what to merge if so, and list the redirect at WP:RFD if consensus leans towards no merge.

  • Comment. Political motivations are not a reason for deletion at AfD. The proposal was covered by major worldwide RS and the article has WP:SIGCOV on the topic from several WP:RS/P such as Reuters, Time and the New York Times (and there is much more online), and it therefore notable enough to be chronicled; however, as per my !vote above, I think it should be merged into the main Iran–United States relations article as another noteworthy event.

The result was keep. Consensus clearly leans towards keeping, with later !votes in the discussion trending strongly in that direction. This close does not decide whether either leading a city council for a well-populated region, or being awarded a CBE (as opposed to an MBE or OBE), are sufficient to confer encyclopedic notability, but it is a permissible basis of finding notability to find that both factors contribute substantially to reach such a conclusion in combination.

WP:NPOL doesn't say council leaders get in. Bondegezou (talk) 16:19, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@PamD and Bondegezou: It also doesn't say council leaders don't get in. ミラP 17:31, 23 November 2019 (UTC) Why did I say that? ミラP 20:17, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It does say that. "Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or sub-national (e.g., province- or state-wide) office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels" are notable. "Just being an elected local official [...] does not guarantee notability". Leader of Leeds council is not a province or state-wide office. Bondegezou (talk) 20:41, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"This role is notable because NPOL doesn't explicitly say it isn't" is not how NPOL works. If NPOL does not affirmatively say that a political role is "inherently" notable, then it automatically is not. Specifically, it's always been held at AFD that leaders of city councils are not inherently more notable than other city councillors are: council leader or not, a local councillor's notability still depends on showing a depth and range of coverage that constitutes credible evidence of nationalized significance. Bearcat (talk) 03:01, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article has been up for over two years (that was after it was previously deleted in 2008) and we ain't seen further references yet. Bondegezou (talk) 20:41, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The BBC piece in question is 4 sentences long. The other 3 media citations are local newspapers. Bondegezou (talk) 11:25, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not aware of an accepted notability guideline saying that. Can you point to one? Bondegezou (talk) 20:41, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Bondegezou: Probably not but these discussions on the CBE should help. ミラP 23:04, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So... there would appear to be no consensus on the suggestion that a CBE confers automatic notability. Bondegezou (talk) 23:46, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Bondegezou: There are some discussions that generated a general consensus in favor of "CBE=WP-notable", but the most recent one should help. ミラP 00:01, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I've read the discussion. I see some editors arguing that a CBE should constitute automatic notability, but others argue against that. I don't see a consensus. No such rule has entered guidelines. Bondegezou (talk) 09:50, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Bondegezou: I trust it is because WP:ANYBIO#1 doesn't say which awards explicitly - it's just deliberately vague and its interpretation left to the discretion of communities of WP editors. ミラP 01:15, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Bondegezou: Actually, I don't see anyone arguing against it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:04, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia talk:Notability (awards and honors) sees argument against automatic notability for CBEs. Bondegezou (talk) 18:22, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Which wasn't mentioned above. You will, however, note that almost everyone who actually knows what they're talking about agrees that CBEs and above are notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:57, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Honours are awarded twice a year. The most recent list had 109 CBEs awarded. Looking at the most recent list, I see no articles for Morris Angel, Elizabeth Barnes (she's not this Elizabeth Barnes), Michael Barton, Paul Bates, Graeme Biggar, Stephen Billingham, Simon Blanchflower, Catherine Bradley or Philip Brook. That's the first page: there are 10 names, and only one has an article (Bryan Appleyard). Wikipedia does not have articles for the vast majority of people with CBEs. We do have notability criteria for politicians like Blake, WP:NPOL, and she fails them. Bondegezou (talk) 11:39, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What makes an honour a notability-granter does not depend on how many possessors of that honour already have Wikipedia articles today, but rather how exclusive it is compared to the potential pool - in this case the entire population of the United Kingdom. CBE is one of only three capped levels in the Order of the British Empire, the others being KBE and DBE.
If you sum the three caps - 8,960 CBEs, 845 K/DCs, 300 K/DGCs - and divide it by the current population of the UK (66.44 mil), then you'll see there will always be one CBE/KC/KGC for more than 6,575 people at a time. Compare that to one BLP for every 8,060 people on Earth, and that's not even taking into account the ones who are technically WP-notable but still have no WP-articles. And please, take a closer look at the evidence I just presented that says CBEs are notable. ミラP 01:15, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Bondegezou: Forgive me, but this seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of how Wikipedia works. It's a work in progress. Just because someone does not have an article yet in no way means they're not notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:06, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, WP:WIP, but if the vast majority of people with CBEs (90% on a small sample) don't have articles, that does rather suggest that most people with CBEs cannot support articles. Do you really think at some future date all those people will have articles created? Bondegezou (talk) 18:16, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Even Jimmy Wales agrees with me: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Orders,_decorations,_and_medals/Archive_6#2000_New_Year_Honours! Bondegezou (talk) 18:22, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Bondegezou: That discussion is from 2010. The six discussions I pointed out are from 2014 and afterwards. ミラP 19:32, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Jimmy Wales is neither British nor necessarily knowledgeable about the British honours system. And yes, I do really think that one day all (or most) of these people will have articles created about them. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:00, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@MilborneOne: nothing in the article shows anything noteworthy Except the CBE. I'll refer you to the evidence below that shows that CBEs are notable. ミラP 01:15, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Bearcat: These evidences prove that this is the pretty much most likely the case: ミラP 01:15, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people)/Archive_2014#The_person_has_received_a_well-known_and_significant_award_or_honor,_or_has_been_nominated_for_one_several_times.: It has generally been held in AfDs that the CBE or higher qualifies for this criterion (i.e. any knighthood, baronetage or peerage, or the CBE, CVO, CIE, CMG, CSI, CB, CH or OM). Plus gallantry awards as per WP:SOLDIER (i.e. one first-level or two second-level awards)
  2. Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people)/Archive_2016#MBE: [T]he MBE (or OBE) does not confer inherent notability. Consensus is, however, that the CBE (and above) does. Any honours do, of course, contribute to notability.
  3. Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people)/Archive_2017#Notability_in_Knight's_Cross_Holder_Articles: The CBE is invariably considered to be notable. Few awards are given automatically, with the exception of some very senior posts that invariably carry (or, more often, carried) knighthoods.
  4. Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people)/Archive_2018#BBC_100_Women: We consider the CBE to meet WP:ANYBIO #1, and that's technically about the UK's twentieth highest award! It's all about context.
  5. Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people)/Archive_2018#Notability_of_British_knights: We have always considered that, as far as the British honours system goes, WP:ANYBIO #1 covers anyone with a CBE or above. That has been established over the course of many AfDs and clearly includes all knights. If they're notable enough to have received an honour this high then they're notable enough for Wikipedia. They're not given out with the rations. and in response to a counter-argument, [A]n honour is never "routinely awarded". Many lieutenant-colonels, commanders and wing commanders do not have an MBE; many colonels etc do not have a CBE.
  6. Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people)/Archive_2019#ANYBIO#1_-_"significant_award_or_honor": An MBE or OBE generally doesn't, but a CBE or KBE (or CB, CMG, CVO, etc) almost certainly does.

WP:NPOL establishes notability for "Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or sub-national (e.g., province- or state-wide) office". Leader of Leeds city council does not meet that. I see no reference to 700,000 in the current WP:NPOL. Leeds is only just bigger than a 700,000 population and the leader of a city council in the UK has much less power than similar roles in other countries. The UK has relatively weak local government powers. We don't generally consider council leaders notable in UK politics AfDs. Bondegezou (talk) 20:21, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This page has an inordinate number of footnotes, but they are almost all vague (the name of a regional newspaper with the year of publication) and they appear to be nothing more than minor mentions. Aside from these, there is mention of a couple of minor written works which appear to be self-published or (in the case of the Doctor Who story) part of a self-published anthology; an award (the Peter Kemeny Achievement Award) which only seems to be mentioned in mirrors of this site; and his unsuccessful attempt to run for mayor in South Perth. In addition, the page was created and has mainly been edited by an editor with few other edits and a string of deleted WP pages, which makes me wonder if there's a COI going on here. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 09:13, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In 2010 an editor was working to attain featured article status for C.D. Guadalajara. They decided the history section was too long so they copied it out into this article, intending to trim it in the other article. For some reason the work on C.D. Guadalajara doesn’t seem to have taken place, so for nine years this article has survived as a straight copy of the history section of the other. I put it up for PROD yesterday but a good faith editor has deprodded it and suggested merger back into C.D. Guadalajara. It can’t be merged back as it is a copy of it, so I’m bringing it to AfD.

  • @Mccapra: No worries, it's pretty technical/pedantic/bureaucratic at this point since the result isn't necessarily obvious. In my mind, delete means to get rid of the article completely, whereas here we just have a failed fork - there's nothing wrong with the notability or the content, it's just unnecessarily duplicated. A merge and redirect will end up just being a redirect, but my (again relatively pedantic) reading of merge means whoever closes this will have to confirm the content on both pages is equivalent before this gets redirected, and merge any differences that are on the History page but not the main article, whereas someone deleting the page would just nuke it into wiki-oblivion. SportingFlyer T·C 13:21, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Résumé-toned BLP of an actor and public relations agent, completely unreferenced for the purposes of establishing his notability in either occupation. As always, actors are not automatically handed a free exemption from actually having to have any sources just because the article says that acting roles have been had -- the notability test for an actor is the degree to which the article can or cannot be referenced to reliable source media coverage about him and his performances. But this has literally been flagged for referencing since 2008 without ever having even one proper reference actually added. And further, there's another Andrew Beck with a disambiguated title, even though he has a significantly stronger notability claim — so even if the actor's article were somehow salvageable, there's no credible reason why he would get to hold WP:PRIMARYTOPIC rights over the football player.

Unreferenced, no reliable independent primary or secondary sources, original research, non-notability, WP:NOPAGE : current article does not meet requirements for dedicated standalone page. There are two links in the indexing section, one is a link to the publisher and the other seems to be a database of journals, and both links could not be accessed. Indexing databases like Worldcat contains indexing of many non-notable books, therefore indexing databases for books or journals are not indicator of notability.

That's because Worldcat is not selective. Scopus is, and it indexes about 22,000 journals not 35,000. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:17, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Riley0O0O0O@What personal attack? pointing out that someone made a mistake or apparently is not familiar with some of our guidelines or procedures is not a personal attack. As fo Scopus, yes, I am from time to time a bit sceptical about it, but consensus up till now is that inclusion in it indicates notability. And even if you completely ignore Scopus, this journal is in the highly selective Arts and Humanities Citation Index. --Randykitty (talk) 14:15, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:NOTCATALOG, WP:NOTDIRECTORY. The current article has no in-depth coverage. If the information on terms of impact is correct, please put it into the article. Whether being indexed in SCOPUS and other indices proves notability is controversial, see the debates in the talkpage archives of WP:NJOURNALS. --Riley0O0O0O (talk) 05:23, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Why did I know you were going to make those exact comments. I had my suspicions, but now I am all but certain. SPI investigation requested. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:41, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • At this point, being indexed in selective indices is a pretty uncontroversial pass, where academic journal AfD's are concerned; see the archives of the deletion-sorting page to gauge how the community has settled on this. WP:NOTCATALOG/WP:NOTDIRECTORY is irrelevant to the present matter, since this page is not merely a product listing or an indiscriminate list of a publisher's offerings. XOR'easter (talk) 14:11, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WIkipedia defines seondardy sources as: WP:SECONDARY It contains an author's analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources. A simple catalogue or indexing database offers no in-depth analysis or evaluation. The current article has no in-depth coverage, and apart from the links to indexing databases, no independent references. --Riley0O0O0O (talk) 05:23, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And that's where you are wrong. Scopus and JCR offers plenty of analysis and evalution. That's what the SCImago Journal Rank and impact factor are (although it's certainly not the only analysis they offer). As for the 'in depth' coverage, the article currently contains the basic information about the journal (peer review journal of religious studies), the current EIC, who publishes it, when it was established, and a history of its frequency of publication. As well as its ISO abbreviation, ISSN and other identifiers, as well as indexing information. That forms an informative, if basic, article about the subject.

Non-notable, previously deleted, and under-sourced with no articles directly on the topic, this article is written by either the subject or someone far too close to the subject (the reasons for playing traveling sport especially.) A before search brought up little, he's been quoted in a couple articles on houses but that's about it. Fails WP:GNG and probably WP:PROMO. SportingFlyer T·C 02:43, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a writer and musician, not reliably sourced as clearing our notability standards for either occupation. As always, neither writers nor musicians are automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- the notability test requires evidence of distinctions, such as winning or being nominated for major creative awards, and/or the provision of enough reliable source coverage about them in media to clear WP:GNG. But the only sources here are his "staff" profile on the self-published website of a directly affiliated organization and his self-written profile of himself on a public relations platform. These are not reliable or independent or notability-supporting sources, and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have real third party coverage about him in real media.

Yeah, I noticed that they seem to be focused entirely on creating articles about poets associated with a specific organization based in a specific city; further, they've also already had several articles deleted before this. I didn't have time to comprehensively check all of their new articles for whether they were properly referenced as clearing our inclusion standards for writers or not, but I strongly suspect that some or most of them are also AFD candidates.

Article about a smalltown community newspaper, not reliably sourced as clearing WP:NMEDIA. As always, every media outlet is not automatically guaranteed a Wikipedia article just because it existed -- it still has to show some evidence of reliable source coverage about it in sources other than itself. But the only references here are a local history book self-published by the local historical society, being cited only to support the fact that one of its owners in the 1920s also owned another paper (thus not verifiable as having any substantive content about this paper), and a primary source directory of copies of the paper in a digital archive (which is not a notability-supporting source at all). And further, the creator's username suggests a direct affiliation with the digital archive project, making this most likely a conflict of interest attempt to increase their own employer's web traffic by indirectly advertising its own content. This is not the kind of sourcing it takes to make a smalltown newspaper notable enough for an encyclopedia article, and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have much better referencing than this.

Hi there, I would first say that this is a non-profit digital archive. I am not "employed", this is volunteer work. There is no profit in me directing traffic to a website for a non-profit website. Also, my name means "book archive" in Latin. The citation regarding the ownership is applicable to the information contained in the entire paragraph, not the sentence in question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LiberArchivum (talkcontribs) 02:04, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter whether you're paid or a volunteer — if you're associated with the archive at all, then you're directly affiliated with it and still have a conflict of interest. The meaning of your username (which I'm not stupid enough that I didn't already know) doesn't change anything. Bearcat (talk) 02:11, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are established conflict of interest guidelines for GLAM workers if the edits are made in good faith. Yes, some of the references can be questioned, but I don't see any edits that suggest bad faith. --Dnllnd (talk) 19:14, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It just seems you’re conflating my name with some kind of intent. People sometimes choose names similar to their interests. I’ll go ahead and change the external link as well then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.171.88.244 (talk) 17:18, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What are the three best sources with significant coverage of The Markdale Standard in that search? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:46, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Having been referred to in parliamentary records is not a notability claim for a newspaper. It has to be the subject of coverage about it in published media, not merely namechecked in Hansard. Directory entries also aren't support for notability, and neither are university student newspapers. Bearcat (talk) 19:07, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The trouble is we know this paper is notable - 132 years of publication is a notable achievement. I have been updating the article with refs. It is lean, however I am likely inclined to agree with GreenC. I am still actively looking and improving the article. In my opinion it can go either way, and you know how I feel about WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. Lightburst (talk) 02:38, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What are your three best sources? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 05:58, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Each editor will decide if this meets GNG based on policy. However it is interesting that I often come across editors claiming three references are needed when WP:N has no such requirement. Lightburst (talk) 14:18, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, the number of years that a newspaper was in operation has nothing to do with our notability standards for newspapers at all. A newspaper can be around for 100 years and yet have gotten less notability-supporting reliable source coverage in that entire time than a brand-new web startup — but the notability test is the volume of coverage that the publication does or doesn't have, not the length of operation per se. And yes, basic notability most certainly does require multiple pieces of substantive coverage in reliable sources — so when somebody asks you to identify the three best sources, what they're asking you to do is highlight which sources you think are actually contributing to getting the topic over the notability hump so that we can discuss whether they're actually doing that or not. So no, you don't get to ignore them just because the notability standards don't specifically state that the cutoff is quantified as three — a topic can be notable with less than three footnotes, if it has an "automatic must-include" notability claim like holding an inherently notable political office, and a topic can be not notable with more than three footnotes, if its footnotes fail any of the reliability and depth and geographic range and context tests. Bearcat (talk) 16:25, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Correct notability is not a precise set of hard rules where we say 150 years is notable but 130 is not. However, the essence of notability is something stands out from its peers. GNG is very flexible, it might be a single sentence in a single source - so long as the fact is significant enough to make it notable. A local paper that outlasted all of its peers (over 16), and was the oldest continuously published paper in the county by a large margin is notable. -- GreenC 20:20, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Rhododendrites! Unfortunately I'm not familiar with this publication, etc. I have, though, added a ref from the Globe via a subscription at my POW. I'll check some of the other databases. --Dnllnd (talk) 19:14, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
