Paul Addis[edit]

This individual is not notable except for one event - an act of vandalism - and the article itself has survived simply through procedure. In its first AFD discussion, the result was delete; in the second it was procedurally closed because it was moved from Draft to main space. That did not make the article any better.

I started cutting away at fawning language and undue content but eventually came to the conclusion that the only thing that should be there is the Burning Man vandalism, so the question then becomes "why should this even be here?" Jorm (talk) 23:28, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not enough coverage to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:24, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Addis is notable for burning Burning Man early, for getting arrested for allegedly threatening to burn down Grace Cathedral, San Francisco and finally for committing suicide. In addition, he was a playwright. There was quite a bit of coverage in the mainstream press about Addis' burning of Burning Man early. Wired had a short Q&A with him, Wikileaks has an email about his plea. Wikipedia has a number of vanity bio pages, and I've tried to have a few deleted. However, I believe that Paul Addis is notable.

Where is this coverage, and how does it support this person having their own article, and not support a single event?--Jorm (talk) 02:55, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Via Wikipedia, I have access to newspaperarchive.com. Searching newspaperarchive.com for "Paul Addis Burning Man" "2007-2019", I get 730 hits. Yes, not all of them apply, but 23 of the first 25 do apply, I stopped counting after that. An example is at https://www.newspapers.com/clip/35625824/paul_addis_arrested_for_attempted_arson/. There a three main events, the early burning of Burning Man, the arrest at Grace Cathedral and the suicide. In general, I see the point of WP:BLP1E and WP:BIO1E. I believe that the initial event (the early burning of Burning Man) was notable because of the amount of coverage. Yes, Addis was no John Hinckley Jr., but Addis' role was substantial and well documented. However, if enough editors feel this article should go, then I'll yield and not take up any more time. Maybe we can apply the same standards to Joseph Matheny's article, which appears to be a self-edited vanity page? Or Hui-Hai Liu, which is appears to be another self-edited vanity page? Cxbrx (talk) 03:50, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is my point: it's 1 event. As far as the other articles, I have no opinions about them as I have no knowledge of their context.--Jorm (talk) 04:07, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - non-notable individual. Made the news for the one event of vandalism at Burning Man. That's not enough to warrant an encyclopedia article. Netherzone (talk) 16:00, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and I will admit this is not entirely on policy. There is some marginal notability here, but I find the enshrinement of someone with obvious mental illness (as alluded to in the article, in the sources and in the resulting suicide) to be a bit macabre. If it is a keep it is very weak, and it relies on the Burning man event and the potential cathedral attack and their sources. The article, while more or less factual and neutrally voiced, ends up being a bit of a hatchet job on someone's troubles in life. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:47, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Addis was an artist also known for hanging testicles on the Burning Man man in 1997 and for his production about writer Hunter S.

Holdovers from previous administrations in the Trump administration[edit]

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

Cabinet secretaries and certain top leadership roles are political appointees who are generally expected to resign at the start of a new administration – it is not typical for them to be held over, like when Obama retained Robert Gates from the Bush administration. Under Secretaries, deputies, and heads of smaller agencies, however, are typically career bureaucrats who do not routinely change with each president, or only leave following a transition period. It is not noteworthy here that the Deputy Director of the Office of Business Liaison of the Department of Commerce has served in the administrations of the last four presidents or that Trump has not replaced the Director of the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Furthermore, many of these positions are for fixed terms: of course the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who is appointed to a five-year term, would be a holdover! The United States Postmaster General isn't even appointed by the president at all.

I see no point to having a list of non-political public servants who, entirely expectedly, did not leave their jobs or fixed-term seats with the new administration. Reywas92^Talk 22:11, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dark Universe (film studio)[edit]

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

Not a notable film studio. A discussion was held about the correlation between The Invisible Man (2020 film) and this attempted shared universe at the discussion The Invisible Man (2020 film) and the Dark Universe, with the evidence provided there pretty compelling to illustrate that there was no correlation between the two now. This Variety quote very clearly articulated that the Dark Universe is no longer moving forward: The move is part of a fresh strategy for Universal’s monsters properties, bringing creative directors with distinctive visions to the classic characters and moving on from the interconnected Dark Universe concept.

There is also the fact the studio Dark Universe has only produced one film, that being 2017’s The Mummy. The inclusion of Dracula Untold is incorrect seeing as the Dark Universe didn’t materialize until 2017. So it’s a combination of non notability (so fails WP:GNG), The information within the article being inaccurate, and the article not really being so much about a film studio anyway. All information in this article can easily be accessed at the Remake era section of the Universal Classic Monsters article. Rusted AutoParts 21:44, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect, though I'm undecided where the most appropriate target would be. It could be to Universal Pictures (its parent company), The Mummy (2017 film) (the only movie this subsidiary produced), or Universal_Classic_Monsters#Dark_Universe (where the information on the aborted attempt at the shared universe is located). Regardless of the target, I agree with the nomination that it should not be a standalone article. It only existed long enough to produce one movie, and the sources are all talking about the "Dark Universe" in terms of the planned cinematic universe, and not about the studio subsidiary that this article is supposed to be about.

Nancy Navarro[edit]

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

WP:BLP of a politician notable only for serving at the county and school board levels of government. As always, these are not offices that automatically entitle a person to have a Wikipedia article -- the lowest level of office that confers guaranteed inclusion rights on all officeholders is the state legislature, while politicians at the local level of office are included only if they can be demonstrated as having received nationalized coverage that makes them special notability cases of much greater notability than the norm. But that's not what the references here are showing -- rather, this is heavily reference bombed to a pile of primary sources that aren't support for notability at all (e.g. routine verification of vote totals on the county government's own self-published website), glancing namechecks of her existence as a giver of soundbite in local media coverage of other things or people, and sources which don't even namecheck her existence at all, but are here solely to verify stray facts that are completely tangential to her notability as a person. Once all of those are discounted, there are fewer than 10 sources left which are actually about Navarro in any non-trivial way, which is not enough coverage to make a county councillor special.

That's bringing up a lot of hits which mention her name in the process of being fundamentally about other things or people besides her, and is not bringing up a lot of hits about her. Also, one newspaper in a county councillor's own local media market is not the magic ticket to notability all by itself regardless of how often it's covered her: the notability test for a county councillor requires nationalizing coverage that expands well beyond just her own local media market. Bearcat (talk) 20:41, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the articles talk about things she is working on. Besides, it's the Washington Post. --evrik ^(talk) 21:23, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Washington Post doesn't magically make county councillors within Metropolitan Washington more notable than everywhere else's county councillors just because the Washington Post happens to be the provider of the person's routinely expected local coverage. Even The New York Times doesn't do that for county councillors within the NYC metro — the councillor's coverage still has to expand beyond just their own local media market before they're plausibly notable, regardless of how prestigious their local newspaper may be.

Amy Rivard[edit]

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

Advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician and actress, not reliably sourced as clearing either WP:NMUSIC or WP:NACTOR. Her primary notability claims as a musician are touring as a supporting chorus vocalist with a musical group whose article fails to mention her name at all because she was never an actual primary member of it, and releasing albums "which can be found on iTunes and Amazon" -- and her notability claim as an actress is that she's been in stuff. And for sourcing, this is referenced entirely to primary sources and IMDb, with zero evidence shown of any reliable source coverage about her in media. As always, the notability test is not the things the article says, but the depth and quality of the sources that can be shown to support the things it says -- but none of these sources are cutting it at all, and nothing stated in the article body is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the sources from having to cut it.

Delete – does not meet GNG, despite meeting NFOOTBALL. Per soccerway, the player's 23 games in Serbian SuperLiga in the 2012–2013 season break down into 12 games with Donji Srem (which had just been promoted to SuperLiga, never had a winning season in the league, and would be relegated two years later), and 11 with Hajduk Kula (which resigned from the league and dissolved in July 2013). Since then, the player has apparently been playing in the third-tier non-FPL-listed Serbian League Vojvodina. I cannot find GNG coverage, and I don't think this is a matter of lack of access to sources. For example, I found coverage in the same time period of Branislav Tošić, the last shoemaker in Pirot [2], and Branislav Tošić, an officeholder in Vladičin Han [3] [4] [5] [6] [7], and a third person with that name [8], but as for the footballer, just a brief mention in a game report [9]. Seems like a total GNG fail; without sources, we can't write an article about this player, so despite meeting NFOOTBALL, delete. – Levivich 02:41, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed... The 8 articles from the 2010s written in 5 different Serbian publications, which I posted above, suggest to me that there are no "age and language issues which are likely hindering online searches".

Comment I feel like too many users are starting to ignore WP:ATH's relation to WP:GNG, and all should be discounted by the closing admin as not based in policy/guideline. If someone is not happy with that, they can start looking for consensus on WP:ATH's talk page to remove "The topic-specific notability guidelines described on this page do not replace the general notability guideline" part instead of flooding most of these football AfDs with generic WP:JUSTAVOTE throwing of "meets WP:FOOTY". That needs to stop. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 10:16, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - Article about footballer who played two seasons in the fully-pro Superliga, but for whom there is only routine online coverage. Similar to Levivch, I found more coverage of the Vladičin Han councilman with the same name. The footballer is mentioned in dozens of match reports, but typically these reports just indicate he was in the squad and maybe provide a rating for his play. I did find a more detailed match report here, on Page 47 in an offline newspaper (Reč naroda) but it appears to just praise his play in a single game (from before Donji Srem was playing the Superliga). It is difficult to believe there isn't more coverage (particularly offline), but I can't find it and don't believe this article can satisfy the GNG. Jogurney (talk) 16:41, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Spent some time on this one. Initially thought this was one of the "greyest" AfDs I had come across - Tošić had passed the WP:NFOOTY guideline by leaps and bounds, and yet I kept running into the same problems some of the other !voters have with the sources. I've now gone ahead and added prose and referenced the article and have written a stub about the player's career. What's especially difficult is the differing levels of coverage from country to country, and I've been thinking a lot about how this plays into athlete notability guidelines, especially with the oppose on Barkeep49's admin request, and a cricket DRV. Going off of Tošić for a second, I like the test: has the player done something notable (WP:NFOOTY, but not always)? and can we write a properly sourced stub about the player (WP:GNG, WP:BLP1E)? As noted, Tošić clearly passes WP:NFOOTY, and the article is now a properly sourced stub. The article's sourcing isn't the greatest (only one article directly on him, from his time in the third division, one of the four non-Soccerway cites is primary, and it took a fair amount of searching to get enough hits due to the common name/Latin and Cyrillic issues) but there's lots of routine coverage of him as well. I found another offline newspaper apart from Jogurney which claims to discuss him (though I couldn't find the citation as it did not allow me to search in Cyrillic) which also gives me hope other offline sources exist and this can be expanded further, especially from the area around Srem, but I think we're now at a point where the encyclopedia would get worse if we delete this article. SportingFlyer T·C 20:07, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Yeah, no. Sadly, none of the added sources meet WP:SIGCOV.

1. Soccerway listing.

2. Not in-depth (Po opštim ocenama, trenutno najbolji fudbaler lidera Srpske lige - Vojvodina, Donjeg Srema iz Pećinaca, je brzonogi Branislav Tošić. Kontinuitet odličnih igara iz prvog dela sezone nije prekidao ni u dva prolećna kola: u Temerinu je svojim golom „načeo“ Slogu, dok je protiv Palića bio jedini strelac.), the rest being what Tošić has said about his game (WP:PRIMARY).

3. A name drop.

4. A passing mention (Branislav Tošić pošto je istekao ugovor o ustupanju i on se vratio u matični klub Donji Srem.)

5/6. Same as 3.

Sadly, still a failure of WP:GNG. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 22:34, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree fervently - I think #2 is in depth, and is similar to the type of coverage you see of players in the exYug areas. There's a lot of other routine sources you can scrape together, so it's not as if this is the entirety of the coverage. I do a lot of my editing in Balkans/African football precisely because I use Wikipedia as a starting point for a lot of things I end up researching, and have become involved because the encyclopaedia is deficient in a lot of areas - while I'm not sure I would ever research Tošić specifically, the article is now at a point where it's adequately referenced, can be expanded, and would be of general use to anyone researching players in the SuperLiga, especially by someone with access to offline sources.

I respect you and your editing work a ton, but two sentences + quotation of what the subject said is in no way WP:SIGCOV. Also WP:MUSTBESOURCES shuts down your offline argument. We can't assume there are offline sources when we don't have evidence for it. Fails WP:GNG, which overwhelms WP:ATH. "general use to anyone researching players in the SuperLiga", well....Wikipedia isn't a football directory (Soccerway exists). Jovanmilic97 (talk) 23:02, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Let's try this for WP:MUSTBESOURCES: Tošić scored in the 62nd minute of this game and started against Crvena Zvezda at Rajko Mitić stadium here, both in 2013, the second game of which is on YouTube. I'm drawing a line in the sand here since I'd be shocked if neither of these games were written about in periodicals and would be shocked if no one wrote about him while he was in the SuperLiga, but I can't find any Serbian periodicals which would have a match report apart from mondo.rs, where he does get a couple passing mentions.

Comment – This article, post-HEY, is very good given the available sourcing, showcasing SF's talents as an editor and writer. I agree it meets WP:V and is well-written. I'd love to change my !vote to "Keep because SF put time into this and did a good job." But, alas, for me to do so would be WP:ILIKEIT. Notability of a subject is independent from quality of an article; just like a poorly-written article should be kept if the subject is notable, a well-written article should still be deleted if the subject is not notable. And it's not just a matter of taking the notability guideline and imposing it like a strict rule; I think there is a very good reason to delete this article:
This article gets less than one page view per day: 190 page views from Jan–Aug 2019; Sep 1 is the 244th day of the year [12]. It is not of interest to readers of enwiki. (Also, it's further evidence that "#-of-apps-in-an-FPL" is not a good way to predict notability.) Every page requires editor-hours to build and maintain, and our limited editor-hours are better spent on article subjects that are of interest to readers. There are, no doubt, many other Serbian football players who readers are interested in, and we should free up our resources to focus on those articles, instead of this one. – Levivich 00:19, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Levivich: please be careful - you removed my comment discussing WP:MUSTBESOURCES (I've added it back into its proper place and am WP:AGF.) Also, page views have no relevance to notability, and it has interest to me as an English-speaker: I spent a couple hours performing the WP:HEY, and genuinely want to know which Serbian sources I should be searching the archives for given I would know exactly where to look if he had played in the Croatian league.

Comment - There don't appear to be any scorecard results on CA for Malawi as yet. I assume I'm looking at the right section - International 20/20 matches only - as the new criteria are confusing to me. As I pointed out on WT:CRIC not so long ago, it tickled me that there were, for certain international teams, Malawi included, women's international matches before men's international matches.

Delete Has not played in a T20I match. Cricinfo lists lots of "other T20" matches, which are not full internationals.

He may become more significant in future because of the changes to T20I status, but Malawi didn't even make it to the regional finals for the World Twenty20 so it's unlikely.

Shoshongo Dum[edit]

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

I wouldn't go as far as calling it a hoax but we have essentially only one sentence here, and this sentence cannot possibly be true: That it connects the Okavango River (which discharges into the Okavango Delta) with the Omuramba Omatako (which discharges into Etosha Pan, source).

The only source given (link) mentions "near Shoshongo Dum" in one footnote. Could be a place, could be a river, we don't know. A genealogy website mentions it, too, and links to a blog where the word does not occur.

So it is not established what it is, not where it is, and it is not on any map. Too little for an article, I think. --Pgallert (talk) 09:02, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - interestingly, one of the only mentions I can find of the river is this blog post which I strongly suspect is by the creator of the page (going off the username). If so, it seems as if even they are admitting they can't be certain if the river even existed, but thought it should have a Wikipedia stub due to the lack of other sources, which is rather backward logic. Either way, there's an almost total lack of any sources so, whether this is a hoax, or a kind of 'historic legend', or a genuine fact that we simply can't confirm, it doesn't belong on Wikipedia.

This article doesn't appear to have any concern for that need. I think the subject itself is notable, but the current state is just so bad, WP:TNT may be the only option here.

Delete Wikipedia isn't a Yellow pages nor a platform for promotion. Also "significant coverage in reliable sources" is only half of the criteria - the coverage must also contain "Independent Content" (as defined in WP:ORGIND) and the coverage must be about the company. As the nom pointed out, the "awards" are not significant for the purposes of notability. The Independent review of the food contains independent content (independent opinion) but does not meet the definition of in-depth coverage (of the company).

Keep While I have no particular objection to merging, I created this separate bibliography page in March 2014 because of the volume of his work. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bibliographies#Author_bibliographies Sunwin1960 (talk) 11:19, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Sunwin1960: Thanks, I know what a bibliography is. Why do you believe it is necessary for Wikipedia to have a bibliography of all articles written by a journalist with a regular gig? This is not in fact normal. Even your linked page links to the notability guidelines for stand-alone lists, and I can't imagine this passes. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:13, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - My logic is: if an author is notable enought to have a Wikipedia entry, then their full bibliography should be listed. If that bibliography is quite lengthy, particularly with articles, reviews, interviews etc., then I consider moving the bulk of the material into a separate bibliography article, just to make the main page flow more easily. Sunwin1960 (talk) 02:41, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - It is lengthy because, again, he is a journalist who has a regular gig with a weekly publication. It is not reasonable for Wikipedia to list every article he has written. You seem to acknowledge yourself that a bibliography of this length is inappropriate! –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 14:24, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - there are quite a few fake breeds being promoted on the internet so please exercise caution when checking the reliability of sources, especially when it's a purported "breed" registry for a dog that is not recognized by the many long-established and trusted official breed registries. If the registry claims to be an "alternative registry", or it is privately owned/operated for-profit with their own inspectors, or make claims to be a "rare breed registry" they are probably not a RS.

The original book ~~was self-published, and~~ contains only 2 paragraphs about the Olde Boston Bulldogge, all of which is based on anecdotal information. Another cited source is a website called Bulldog information which is owned by an individual, and considered an unreliable source per WP:RS. There is not one source cited in the article that one could consider a RS to (1) verify the information about the Olde English Bulldogge, or (2) establish GNG. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 03:33, 18 August 2019 (UTC) [reply]

GGJ is a collaborator, an interested party in this topic area, and it is an insult to his integrity to call him non-neutral. It is normal procedure to notify collaborators/project members and I am offended by the accusation made by Andrew, which should be stricken. Of further note, Andrew D. is citing a questionable source that makes a brief passing mention of this so-called “rare breed” and calls it “reasonably well covered”? Dogs do not get the same auto-inclusion benefit extended to officially/scientifically identified and documented species. Inclusion is based on GNG and this so-called rare breed fails the requirement. The sources being claimed as RS are not and should be researched further to verify context, rather than accepting Andrew D’s assumptions at face value - do the research as I and others have done and see if you can find multiple secondary and third party RS to meet GNG requirements. Rare breeds rarely have multiple RS and are born of anecdotal reports for profit centers. Until they are recognized by RS and/or long established breed registries they simply fail GNG. Stop the use of WP as a promotional/marketing arm for puppy mills, non-notable crossbreeds and unsubstantiated “original and rare” breeds.

  The book notes:
  Most breeders, of course, are not trying to create something new. In some cases, in fact, they are trying to re-create something old, like the folks at Good Time Bostonettes, a kennel dedicated to the resurrection of the Olde Boston Bulldogge [sic], an antecedent of the Boston terrier but a little bigger, not necessarily black and white, and not much seen for the past century.
  I suppose it is a creative impulse to re-create a historic breed, like wanting to restore an Avanti, only with living tissue. But to the breeder, the Olde Boston Bulldogge rights a historic wrong wrought by none other than the fancy itself:
  [quote]
  The Olde Boston is only one of a raft of niche bulldogs currently in development, such as the Dorset Old Thyme Bulldogge, the Alphalfa Bluebood Bulldog, the Olde English Bulldogge, the Catahoula Bulldog, the Victorian Bulldog, the Mallorquin Bulldog (Ca de Bou in the original Catalan), and the Buldogue Campiero. Some of these are attempts to revive defunct breeds, others the creation of stylin' breeders.

  The book notes:
  The Olde Boston Bulldogge
  
  Olde Boston Bulldogges are the direct descendants of the dogs from which Boston Terriers were developed. Those early crosses produced numerous specimens that were heavier and lower stationed, closer to the Bulldog than to the terrier end of the spectrum. These became Olde Boston Bulldogges, and today they form a rare and distinct race. The late Neil Rutan and his family have done much to preserve these dogs and to re-establish them as a breed. As per the IEOBA standard for the breed, they "should be of small to medium height and size (not toy-sized) with a round compact head and a solid, muscular and athletic body. The disposition should be outgoing, loyal, lively and intelligent. The temperament is to be very stable and trustworthy. Olde Boston Bulldogges are healthy working dogs without serious health problems. Unlike their Boston Terrier cousins, males should be free breeders and females should be free whelpers. The Old Boston Bulldogge should be devoid of all breathing problems. Most importantly, the Olde Boston Bulldogge is still a working Bulldog, and as the Bulldogges of Olde, function should come before form."
  Today's Boston Terriers weigh under 25 lb; they possess a distinctly terrier frame and, of course, those batlike ears that we presume came from early crosses with French Bulldogs. In comparison, Olde Boston Bulldogges are bigger, at 25–45 lb, and stronger, and their short ears can be naturally erect, drop or rose. These Bulldogges come in all of the typical Bulldog colors, without the color and pattern restrictions of their terrier cousins, although naturally some of them do possess a Boston Terrier-like paint job. So here we have a small "working" Bulldog.
  The book includes a photo of an Olde Boston Bulldogge and notes, "Above: While some Olde Boston Bulldogges have coloration similar to that of a Boston Terrier, the range of Bulldog color and markings is acceptable. This is Good Times Terra."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Olde Boston Bulldogge to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Cunard, “significant coverage” (mentions in several RS) does not automatically mean a topic has encyclopedic value - context matters. WP:GNG states: "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.. We should not use WP to further the promotion of breed fanciers promoting a non-notable breed as “rare” or as a “designer breed” which basically raises the price of the dog - it’s a marketing ploy. The 2004 NYTimes article comparing it to the stock market - “make bets on out of favor issues” - supports my position. We need to be far more discriminating about these types of things, especially considering that article was published 15 years ago and the Olde Boston Bulldogge is still not recognized by long established, reputable breed registries which are the axiom for purebred dogs. WP should not be used as a conduit for such promotion. When/if the breed is officially recognized, then we can include it as a breed in WP - editors should not have to conduct OR for verifiability or in an effort to establish notability. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 12:09, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:In my opinion, I do not accept anything printed by newspaper or magazine journalists as reliable. These either have no expertise on the subject or they can misinterpret what an expert has told them because they do not understand the basics of the subject. Regarding the two books, Gingold is a freelance writer, has no expertise in the subject, and the text quoted appears to be promoting a farm that breeds this dog for sale by marketing it as being special. However, Harris appears to be an expert, the book has 4 editors to maintain its quality, and of interest it refers to IOEBA. The subject currently has one potential reliable source; it is up to editors to decide if this source meets the "published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" criterion. If it is decided that this book does meet this criteria, then all that we have established is that this cross-breed exists; there still remains the issue of WP:RELIABLE material that could be used to create an encyclopedic article, as we do not have WP:SIGCOV. William Harristalk 22:32, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I provided links to The New York Times and the Simon & Schuster book to provide more context about Olde Boston Bulldogge. I consider the original two sources to provide enough coverage about Olde Boston Bulldogge to establish notability per Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. Alfred Gingold has written about dogs during his career for publications like The New York Times (link) and for Slate (link) and the book is published in the reputable publisher Broadway Books so I consider his book to be a reputable source. Regarding the marketing ploy concerns, the article can be revised to point out people are trying to market the breed (from The New York Times, "breeders are already working to revive" the breed).

delete Is UCA a reliable association? Moreover maybe this breed esists but two only books can't satisfy notability requirments--Pierpao (talk) 11:14, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, or at best merge, to a related real breed, in summary form as a section. Aside from all the issues addressed above, this is a WP:NFT problem. WP is not for backyard-breeder experiments (especially unscientific "de-extinction" nonsense). To the extent there is any sourcing about this at all outside of WP:UGC junk, none of it is in-depth, and it's not consistent, treating the subject as an experimental crossbreed, a sub-breed, a breed re-creation (which is not actually genetically possible), a fake breed for marketing to suckers, etc. It's routine to either delete or summarize and merge when a subject cannot be clearly delineated, is dubious as to veracity, of no or uncertain lasting encyclopedic significance as a stand-alone topic, or simply redundant with existing better material. This seems to be all of those at once, and WP doesn't exist for promoting alleged breeds not recognized by any legitimate registry organization anyway. There's a lot of money in dog breeding, thus a lot of incentive to try to use WP for advertising. Not every cluster of domesticated animals or plants someone sticks a name on constitutes a breed in any sense WP and its readership will care about. — AReaderOutThataway ^t/_c 17:08, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New York Circus Arts Academy[edit]

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

Delete None of the references contain Independent Content, failing WP:ORGIND. A BEFORE search shows that the company exists but I am unable to locate any in-depth significant articles with independent content thereby failing WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 19:15, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The New York Times (and the other two newspapers) doesn't "contain Independent Content"? Clarityfiend (talk) 19:21, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Content The articles don't contain Independent Content *about the company* since they rely almost exclusively on interviews/quotations from the company or their founder. For example, the NYT article isn't even about the *company* (the topic of this article) and the company is only name-checked once in the text of the article (so fails WP:CORPDEPTH). The WP:ORGIND section of NCORP says: 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. Clarityfiend, can you point out any Independent Content in the articles in question? There's no independent opinion/fact checking/analysis or investigation. HighKing⁺⁺ 11:08, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - You are mistaken. While there are quotes from the founder sprinkled in in all three newspaper articles, most of the information is presented by the reporter without attributing them to him as the source. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:15, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Well, I don't believe I'm mistaken. Also, ORGIND is very clear that it must be "clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject" and the fact that the entire article is based on a visit to the academy and interviewing both the founder and some clients, I'd say you're stretching it beyond credulity to say that the article contains any independent opinion/analysis/investigation/fact checking. More importantly, there is almost no information in this article about the company - here are the main pieces:

"Those students had been on the ground, but others at the New York Circus Arts Academy in Long Island City, Queens, twist high overhead"
"The academy, which was founded by Cypher Zero in 2002 and established a permanent home in Long Island City in September, teaches beginners how to perform basic aerial acrobatic tricks, like inversions, or hanging upside down. Advanced students learn how to spin in and out of the silks, hang by the back of one knee from a hoop and create their own acts. There are classes for children and adults."
"There are now 50 students, somewhat fewer than when the academy operated out of temporary quarters in Midtown Manhattan."

This fails WP:CORPDEPTH and as I said already, also fails WP:ORGIND. Please take another look with a focus on extracting what is being said about the academy that can be directly attributable to the journalist, and then ask if that is significant. I believe you'll then reach the same conclusion as I have. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:17, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, with reservations. Let's get the simple part out of the way. I'm a pretty die-hard deletionist, so my metaphorical ears perked up when I read there was a NY Times article as a source. I read the article; it's clearly WP:SIGCOV in a WP:RS. Then I went and read the Daily News article, and came to the same conclusion. So, why the reservation? Because the dates on the two articles are a week apart. That makes me think they were both written in response to a press release. But, I'm also seeing enough other stuff, such as The Social Semiotics of Tattoos: Skin and Self and The Rest of Us: A Novel to push me over to the keep side. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:40, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Response It doesn't matter if it passes SIGCOV in an RS - it fails WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH. The Daily News article suffers the same problem as the NYT article in that it is based on a visit to the academy and an interview with the founder and some students, etc. Fails both ORGIND and CORPDEPTH. And neither of those book references meet the criteria for establishing notability either. One says "circus schools have existed for many years ..." and lists the academy along with others in a list. Fails CORPDEPTH. The other is a work of fiction and is also a mention in passing, failing CORPDEPTH and probably RS. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:17, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, like I said, with reservations. Call it Weak keep if you like. Yes, I had noticed that the second book was a novel. I think the title gave that away :-) But, I'm not convinced a mention in a novel doesn't imbue some degree of notability; the author had to at least be aware enough of them to want to include it in their dialog. I'm not saying that's a great thing, and by itself it wouldn't count for much, but it's non-zero. It's really the NYT piece that does it for me. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:41, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry RoySmith, I don't mean to bludgeon you into submission. Can you take a look at what I've said above about the NYT piece - that it fails CORPDEPTH and ORGIND. Have you a different take based on some policy/guideline? I don't understand how, if you accept it fails CORPDEPTH/ORGIND, that you're still at a weak keep? HighKing⁺⁺ 16:28, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't feel bludgeoned. Two editors who disagree, and are discussing their disagreement, is healthy.
As for the NYT piece, I think it's clear that it meets WP:ORGIND. That requires that, unrelated people with no vested interest in the subject have actually considered the company, corporation, product or service notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial, non-routine works that focus upon it. Like I said earlier, I think it's likely this was triggered by the NYT receiving a press release, but they didn't just reprint it. They looked at it, decided it was worth their time to send a reporter and a photographer there, and devote an 850-ish word article to it. The article may include a lot of quotes, but it's not the usual fare of a CEO feeding a list of softball questions to a churnalist, who then parrots them back in the form of an "interview". Likewise, I think WP:CORPDEPTH is reasonably met. This is not Trivial or incidental coverage, and clearly goes beyond brief mentions and routine announcements. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:25, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As always, this is not a level of government that confers an automatic pass of our notability standards for politicians; people at the county level of government get into Wikipedia only if they can be reliably sourced as much more notable than the norm for this level of office, namely by having coverage that nationalizes far beyond just their local media. But with just two footnotes here, which are both primary sources that are not support for notability at all, that bar has not been cleared. This was also a WikEd project which escaped being prodded two months ago because the course instructor personally deprodded on the grounds that "this page provides basic biographical information about a local government official in a county where it is very difficult for citizens to learn about their elected officials. Wikipedia is one of the only ways to research", but this does not constitute an exemption from our normal notability standards for politicians either: Metro Chattanooga has real media and Catoosa County's government has a website, so I don't know why anybody would think their county councillors were otherwise unresearchable (or why they would think it was our job to rectify the matter by waiving our normal notability and sourcing requirements even if it were true.)

WP:BLP of a politician, notable primarily as a city councillor. Chattanooga is not in the rarefied class of cities where the municipal councillors are automatically accepted as "inherently" notable -- city councillors get that status only in if they serve in a global city on the order of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto or London, while Chattanooga is in the tier of cities where the city councillors get Wikipedia articles only if the sourcing demonstrates them as much more special than most other city councillors (such as by having media coverage that nationalizes far beyond just their local media market.) But with just 14 footnotes, of which 11 are primary sources, just three are real media and two of those three are routine reportage of election results, this is not the kind of sourcing that gets a city councillor over the bar.

Delete Chatanooga is not a major enough city that council members are default notable, and there is not enough sourcing to show notability otherwise.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:37, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - as a city council president, he could be considered notable, and will likely be in the news frequently. Bearian (talk) 21:01, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

City council president is not a notability claim in and of itself. The notability criteria for city councillors are as I explained above: either they serve in a global city on the New York City-Los Angeles-Chicago axis, or their coverage nationalizes to the point where they have a credible claim to being much more nationally notable than most other city councillors. Simply holding the title of "city council president" is not an instant notability freebie that exempts a city councillor from still having to show that his depth and range and volume of coverage has gone significantly above and beyond the ordinary and expected.

The result was no consensus. Based on my reading, it seems like there are a few arguments both pro and anti deletion. On the pro deletion side we have concerns that the list violates WP:NOTNEWS and is poorly written, that it is an indiscriminate collection of events in violation of WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE with unclear inclusion criteria ("what is a rally?") and a redundant fork of Timeline of the Donald Trump presidency (2019 Q1) and Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign and not convered as a group by independent sources. In part because of the forking issue, some people are proposing mergers to the two Donald Trump articles, of varying selectivity. A similar list of Democratic rallies was deleted at AFD and is cited as a precedent by some participants.

On the keep side, we have the points that the lists are not unduly large and that there have been no problems with the inclusion criteria, that the list topic is in fact covered by independent sources (unlike the Democratic rallies article), that NOTNEWS does not apply as they are historical lists and also covered by academic sources and that they are useful. There is a secondary argument against merging that the merged content would be unduly long on the merge targets. There are 7 delete arguments (some alternatively advocate a merge) and 5 keep arguments, by headcount.

Overall it seems like for each delete or merge argument there is an equally compelling keep argument (useless vs. useful, academic topic vs. NOTNEWS, indiscriminate list with vague inclusion criteria vs. topic that has been discussed with examples in an overarching manner, content fork vs. valid spinout, can be covered on other articles vs. would become unduly large), as well as an argument that the Democratic list cited as a precedent had no overarching coverage and is thus different. 7 delete vs. 5 keep is likewise closer to an even split than to a delete consensus. Reywas92's points could be worth a follow up as they were not discussed in depth, but for the delete (or merge)-or-not question this seems like a no consensus case.

List of rallies for the 2016 Donald Trump presidential campaign[edit]

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

Wikipedia is not news. Growing consensus in a recent AfD was that these two lists of rallies—the only such articles—list events indiscriminately and should also be nominated. They're better suited for a wiki that isn't an encyclopedia.

Strong Keep The lists are not unmanagebly large, and there has been no dispute on the pages about what is a rally. This pages are actually quite popular, and is thus of benefit to our readers. Although news may cover the content, NOTNEWS is inapplicable as they are historical lists. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:47, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; while I don't want to delve into politics in this AfD discussion, the list is still useful. Seconding Graeme Barlett's point that WP:NOTNEWS cannot be applied. Utopes (talk) 04:58, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/merge Timeline of the Donald Trump presidency (2019 Q1), etc. already mention rallies held during the presidency. It's an excessive crufty compendium of routinely expected events that is an unnecessary content fork of that and Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign.

Keep both per the significant coverage in reliable sources.

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 "rallies for the 2016 Donald Trump presidential campaign" and "post-election Donald Trump rallies" have been treated as a "a group or set by independent reliable sources".

"Assaults on Days of Campaign Rallies During the 2016 US Presidential Election". Epidemiology. 29 (4). Lippincott Williams & Wilkins: 490–493. doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000000821. Retrieved 2019-09-03.
The article notes about the study methodology:
Rallies were defined as events that (i) occurred after Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton declared their candidacies on June 16, 20158 , and April 12, 20159 , (ii) occurred before the Presidential election on November 8, 2016, (iii) were open invitation, (iv) featured a speech by candidates Trump or Clinton, and (v) were not on the same day as a party primary election in the same state as the rally. We focused on cities that had populations greater than 200,000 based on United States Census Bureau estimates for 2015, because few smaller cities make assault data publicly available online.
The study's conclusion was: "Assaults increased on days when cities hosted Donald Trump's rallies during the 2016 Presidential election campaign." The article has a table of Trump and Clinton rallies considered in the study. The Trump rallies considered were:

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow the subject to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

The 20 sources I provided above collectively cover both "rallies for the 2016 Donald Trump presidential campaign" and "post-election Donald Trump rallies".
The subject does not violate Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a newspaper because it has been the subject of academic study. A July 2018 article published in the journal Epidemiology titled "Assaults on Days of Campaign Rallies During the 2016 US Presidential Election" studied 31 Trump rallies and concluded "Assaults increased on days when cities hosted Donald Trump's rallies during the 2016 Presidential election campaign."
The subject does not violate Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information because it meets none of the four categories listed: It is not "Summary-only descriptions of works", "Lyrics databases", "Excessive listings of unexplained statistics" or "Exhaustive logs of software updates".
Regarding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2020 Democratic Party presidential rallies: Whereas the list Trump rallies articles pass Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists, "2020 Democratic Party presidential rallies" does not since it has not been discussed as a set by reliable sources.

- Your sources make an argument that we could have a prose article discussing Donald Trump's calls for violence, or an overview deliberating various aspects of Donald Trump's rallies (see Donald_Trump_2016_presidential_campaign#Rallies_and_crowds), but not necessarily that a context-free chronological listing of venues and attendance estimates is an appropriate Wikipedia article. Reywas92^Talk 19:04, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists 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."
    The sources provided above clearly demonstrate that Trump rallies "has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" and thus is "appropriate for a stand-alone list". The sources talk about Trump rallies as a group in multiple situations: violence at a list of rallies, memorable moments at a list of rallies, crowd sizes at a list of rallies, and a list of 2018 midterm rallies. That prose articles can be created about different aspects of Trump's rallies does not negate the clear evidence that "rallies for the 2016 Donald Trump presidential campaign" and "post-election Donald Trump rallies" pass Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists.

Merge and delete selectively. All these “rallies” are not notable and y’all know it. This article is a mess. Some can stand to be merged into his 2016 campaign article. The rest—delete. Trillfendi (talk) 16:36, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Same as here. A summary of the content could be added to other relevant articles. Ktrimi991 (talk) 19:36, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The guideline Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Selection criteria says:
Lists are commonly written to satisfy one of the following sets of criteria:
...
Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria. These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles: for example, List of Dilbert characters or List of paracetamol brand names. Such lists are almost always better placed within the context of an article on their "parent" topic. Before creating a stand-alone list consider carefully whether such lists would be better placed within a parent article.
That the individual rallies are not notable is not a valid reason to delete the list of rallies.
These lists are not better placed within a parent article like Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign. They would be too long for the parent articles so they are valid spinouts into independent articles.

Delete – It looks more like a directory of news events suitable for an inclusion on Wikinews. The question is not whether the list is useful or just an indiscriminate collection of news. The question is whether there is any worthwhile encyclopedic content, and I agree with the others saying that this list could be merged with Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign. For me, Mr. Trump's rallies are generally no different from and no more historic than any that I have seen, so unless anyone can demonstrate how this list is encyclopedic, why the rallies are particularly noteworthy, and ultimately why we should keep the list, I am not convinced that it should stay. I would not be surprised if it also suffers from content forking of some other article such as the one it could be merged with. ~~Gamingforfun~~³⁶⁵ 14:27, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Big Noon Saturday[edit]

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

Contested bold merge. Special branding given for a single network's early-afternoon college football telecasts beginning this season. Not enough notability to sustain a proper Wikipedia article at this time. Can be mentioned on Fox College Football in passing, but is otherwise a routine game. The accompanying pre-game show (Big Noon Kickoff) is a bit more notable in my opinion, and can be expanded into something a bit more complete.

Article creator attempted to compare this article to Saturday Night Football. I however disagree, as that is a major primetime game that almost always features a marquee matchup, and has been a historic part of ABC's schedule for at least 13 seasons now. This, however, is just an upstart and is not distinctly notable enough to deserve its own article. ViperSnake151 Talk 00:43, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Fox College Football 97% of folks will refer to this casually as 'the noon game on Fox', no matter how well the branding is; same as it's always been with ESPN and ABC (and the press release stating Fox's biggest game would air at this time is just hyperbole; no broadcast network ever going to air Western Nebraska A&M vs. Southwest Virginia Tech in this timeslot). And no...we're not accepting another article which is just a bad intro with another schedule/score list nobody will care about 12 years down the line (that's been deleted).

This should probably have been a merge request and not an AfD, but merge as the telecast is not notable apart from its network. SportingFlyer T·C 04:41, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
