Keep - Should rather be merged. Firefishy (talk) 18:29, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge if possible, delete if not. I agree with Firefishy above, this should be merged to the article about whatever scandal this is related to, but sadly, the article doesn't allude to this at all, nor does it link to any target article outside the Congress one. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:05, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While I appreciate the effort that went into writing this article, Wikipedia is not a news source and this event is not notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. Bird/plane strikes happen every day. – Daybeers (talk) 22:30, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Bird strikes happen every day, yes, but very few result in the crash of a jet plane, and fewer still result in everyone in a jet plane crash surviving. This is a notable incident that received widespread media coverage and was featured on WP's main page. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 22:36, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A lot of media coverage not to mention that ATC has complained for years about dumps (possibly illegal ones at that) in the area attacking birds. It could lead to new policies regarding bird management near and at the airport, not to mention the possible shutdown of some of the nearby dumps. Not to mention it is very rare for birds to bring down a passenger jet carrying well over 200 people outside of the airport resulting in a hull loss with no fatalities. - Omega13a (talk) 08:56, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is indeed a highly uncommon occurrence, and sources appear to demonstrate notability. Although it's too soon to know if there will be lasting coverage, given the currently available news sources and effects mentioned therein, it seems pretty likely that this accident and its consequences will remain notable and significant (thus fulfilling WP:LASTING and hence WP:NEVENT). ComplexRational (talk) 13:19, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: A crash landing of a regularly scheduled commercial passenger airliner resulting in injuries and a hull loss meets the standards of notability. The crash has received widespread worldwide coverage in multiple independent media sources. Easily meets WP:GNG. RecycledPixels (talk) 15:35, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Snow keep per all above. Mjroots (talk) 18:39, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep per all the arguments above. As for the nominator's rationale, people die every day too, yet the death of Michael Jackson is a stand-alone article. Why not nominating it too for deletion?--JetstreamerTalk 21:53, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Further compounding things is the disaster continues to be discussed in Russian, for instance this article from only a few days ago: [1] It's basically the Russian version of what the Hudson landing was to the United States. Easy keep. SportingFlyerT·C 00:35, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Like what everyone said above, this is notable especially in Russia. There's been waste dumps by the airport which led to birds being around the runway at Zhukovsky. There's also been news reports of details of the accident since the crash and it's also as similar to the Miracle at the Hudson and is even compared to the event. I think this article should be kept on Wikipedia because on how significant the outcome will be with the waste dumps, the international media, and probably new safety measures after the investigation is complete. Swagging (talk) 01:02, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, similar to US Airways Flight 1549 as said above.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 15:32, 2 October 2019 (UTC).I'm surprised the consensus is so overwhelming. I nearly miss wikipedia's never ending arguments![reply]

List of devices with video output over USB-C[edit]
This is a list of products with a particular feature. The list is pretty big, suggesting that feature is not particularly notable or an novel differentiator among products. I don't think there's encyclopedic value in such a list, so this seems to only serve for promotion of the individual products. Many non-links, so the products themselves often aren't notable. Very few references. This broad list will never be current and will be quite difficult to support. Fails WP:NOTPROMOTION, WP:NOTCATALOG, WP:RAWDATA.

Delete: Before writing such an article, one must ask self: Who is this going to benefit from this 100 years from now? The answer is: No one. This article helps a minuscule group of today's shoppers only. The average effective life of a smartphone is only 5 years and Wikipedia is not a shopping guide. flowing dreams (talk page) 11:38, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Just to note, the majority of this article is not about smartphones but desktops/laptops which would have a longer lifespan generally. This would not change the outcome of the AFD.Mosaicberry (talk • contribs) 20:38, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Desktops have very long effective lives, but I can't say the same thing for laptops. Regardless, it seems I was wrong that the list's usefulness is tied to effective life of the device. It is tied to the device being in stock and video output over USB-C being fashionable. flowing dreams (talk page) 13:19, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There's a Georgian political avtivist by this name that has gotten quite a lot of media coverage by the BBC Monitoring International Reports, Russia & CIS Military Daily, Russia & FSU General News, and Military News Agency from 2006-2012 either directly or tangentially (opinions published in articles). Given that the area of activism ligns up with some of the scholarly work and interests, I am fairly certain this is the same person, but would appreciate others input. I have access to these articles through my university, so other editors with similar resources would need to comment. The articles in question are:

Original version from 2006 defunct as of 2016. Current Website is a marketing front end by native advertising company StackCommerce, which no longer provides any of the same functionality or features of the original, other than using the name. No longer has any notable coverage. Previous AfDs were from over a decade ago, so arguments then are now less relevant. LeflymanTalk 18:46, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note: nearly all of the content is based on outdated references from the site itself, including by its original co-founders John Casasanta and Phil Ryu-- which, as primary sources do not meet reliability or notability. Other references that appear are synthesis, many which do not even discuss the article's topic, but have been selected by previous editors to create an Original Research narrative. Entire sections are such OR, particularly the Criticism and series of MacHeists, which include numerous unsubstantiated claims, such as in MacHeist II: "However, over the course of the stunt, many people in various communities became concerned they would be targeted or vulnerable."
Beyond that, comparing a defunct niche commerce site-- which now exists purely for Google juice marketing-- with historical entities is a ridiculous comparison. We don't keep articles for non-notable, short-term promotional content nor list merchandise sold, like a sales catalog, which is what the "MacHeist" sections are. This article has sat fallow for years-- the last actual changes prior to mine were in 2014-- and won't be further improved, as the previous commenter acknowledged: "I don't feel like making sure that the article is actually up to snuff." As noted at the Notability guideline for Web content: "Wikipedia's goal is neither tiny articles with no realistic hope of expansion nor articles based primarily on what the subject or its creators say about themselves."--LeflymanTalk 10:15, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
On looking at the sourcing, I agree that none of it is reliable. I did, however, find a source on Macheist [1] in the first book from the google books link above. There seem to be another 2 books with information about Macheist. If the preview is to be believed, all three books have at least enough information to support an article here (though not neccesarily this article). The one in my reference has enough information to support an article for certain. Rockphed (talk) 13:12, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I do not think the previous deletion discussions were handled correctly. The first one should have been a delete close (based on weight of arguments and appeal to policy.

Delete - Artist does not meet GNG or NARTIST at this time.

On the other hand, I did find that he is in this collection[2], but that is not enough to meet the criteria for notability. Netherzone (talk) 18:05, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Netherzone: that was a good find on the collection. I note that the site for the collection says "We hold material created by CSM staff and students over the last one hundred years, and have collected from degree shows for the past two decades." which means that the criteria for inclusion in it is having a graduating show in the school. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:54, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good research, @ThatMontrealIP: That info puts the collection into context. It's not the same as a museum specifically selecting an artist's work for their collection. It seems that staff and former students can give a work to the collection. There is a big difference between these two types of acquisitions; that collection doesn't really count.

The result was Delete. No sources at all have been found to establish notability nor is there sufficient consensus for IAR. JGHowes talk 21:55, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ORG: "No company or organization is considered inherently notable. No organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is, including schools." "All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must satisfy either this guideline (WP:ORG) or the general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria." Largoplazo (talk) 00:45, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I've read that piece of rubbish many times. It has usually been ignored in the case of degree-awarding institutions. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:09, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"I've read the guidelines that represent a consensus of the community. We shouldn't follow them because I don't like them." Also, I'd be interested to see the data that support your claim that the explicit guideline on this very topic, which was obviously singled out for mention because there had been disagreement on it and people felt very strongly that an explicit statement was necessary, is nevertheless usually ignored. I would guess that the sentiment you've expressed ("rubbish") illustrates the motive for including that very specific guideline that clarifies that "degree-awarding tertiary institution" is not to be taken to suffice for a finding of notability. Largoplazo (talk) 11:11, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
May I suggest you read other related AfDs and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. That is the consensus of the community on this particular subject, established over many AfDs. And also consider WP:SYSTEMIC and ask yourself whether an article on a similar college in the United Kingdom or the United States would be deleted at AfD. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:41, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I would feel the same (I think I have expressed the same feeling in at least one deletion nomination for a U.S. institution, though I can't swear to it) about schools in the United States. There are scads of commercial degree-granting tertiary institutions in the U.S. that, if they received no note in WP:GNG-level sources, wouldn't merit inclusion here any more than commercial operations that aren't educational institutions. Giving an education for money is just a type of commercial service. Largoplazo (talk) 16:34, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't helpful to your case to raise WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, which says to avoid raising WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES in deletion discussions. It points to this RFC which concluded, among other things, that "WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES should be added to the Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, as it is an accurate statement of the results but promotes circular reasoning." So, see Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#Outcomes based. That is the community consensus on that subject. Largoplazo (talk) 16:43, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You should note that the RfC (which is in any case highly controversial) referred only to secondary schools and not to tertiary institutions. Please don't try to extend it to something it quite clearly did not cover. SCHOOLOUTCOMES merely summarises precedent for keeping these institutions. It is shorthand for saying that precedent has been established. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:38, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You can call it "precedent" or not, but the RFC found that that shouldn't be raised in deletion discussions, yet you raised it, and now you're raising it again. Note that while the scope of the discussion as initiated was secondary schools, the second bullet point of the outcome says that WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES should be added to the arguments-to-avoid, not that WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES should be added to the arguments-to-avoid with the proviso that that applies only to secondary schools. Regardless of the initial scope, the finding was essentially that it's circular reasoning. Circular reasoning is fallacious argumentation. It isn't fallacious and to be avoided only when the subject is secondary schools. It's just as fallacious and to be avoided when the subject is tertiary schools. The example in arguments-to-avoid refers to a secondary school, but the overall commentary isn't so restricted. The consensus was "Circular reasoning should be avoided in RFDs." Raising WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is circular reasoning. Largoplazo (talk) 11:28, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
By your reasoning then, all claims of precedent are circular reasoning. So also by your reasoning there is clearly no valid precedent on Wikipedia, so we should obviously go back to long tedious discussions on every single AfD even if a precedent has clearly been established. That seems like a real step backwards, but if that's what you think then that's what you think. Your prerogative. Mine to disagree with you. The closer's to decide between the arguments. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:07, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You're digressing. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES doesn't say "Do not raise WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES in the context of secondary education." It says (paraphrasing) "Do not raise WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES." Whatever reasoning led to that result is the reasoning of the people in the RFC. But that was one of the conclusions: Do not raise WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES in deletion discussion. If you want that to change, begin an RFC to change it. Largoplazo (talk) 15:09, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not finding anything on the university itself which might be because it is just one arm of various Sagar Institutes that are all related to one another.

Non notable activist. The references are mostly articles about events in which she was one of the many people who appeared, or one of the people who signed a petition. and her name is included along with others. Some of them are statement she herself has made. Some of them are reports on local election campaigns. All of this is essentially her own publicity. The reasons why news sources print her name is because of the perceived importance of the causes she has associated herself with, not of her.
Almost all the citations are local. It's true that San Diego is an important city, but if she were actually notable , there would be much wider coverage.
I have supported, and still support, the view that we should include articles on all major party nominees for national office, though this has never been generally accepted as consensus. But this is someone who has never won the primary for a party nomination, and that nomination would have been for only a municipal office; this would therefore fail even myvery loose criteria.
It would therefore be reasonable to ask why this article was written. It wasn't apparently written by the candidate herself, or an advocate for her, both of whom, while they would have had a conflict of interest, would be in a somewhat excusable situation. Rather, it's paid for, and written by an undeclared paid editor (who has made it plain in other AfD discussions--discussion which are now taking place for every one of his articles---that he was in fact a paid editor.) And worse--he used illegitimately the excuse of a Women in Red campaign to insert the article. WiR is important--we need very much to expand the coverage of notable women. it shouldn'tbe perverted to support advertisements. DGG ( talk ) 21:05, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Respectfully, I do not believe that this isn't a notable subject for a Wikipedia article. Several news sources have run articles on her specifically, singling out either her activism or her bid for office, Tasha Williamson is one of only 3 candidates running for the San Diego mayor's office in a campaign that has 3 Democrats and no Republicans, and she has been an anti-violence activist for years, even winning a California Peace Prize for her efforts. She founded an organization that has worked with San Diegan survivors of gun violence for 11 years, and has worked with several other orgs. She was also the spokesperson for several families who lost loved ones to police violence, which seems like something which has a cumulative notability. If it is agreed that she is still not notable because she has not made much impact outside of the greater San Diego area, then so be it, but it is not as if she is some random person. I would say that a San Diego mayoral candidate is automatically notable, regardless of who won a Democratic party endorsement, but that is neither here nor there.
Regarding my status as a paid editor, I did in fact declare that I was paid by for revisions before I was asked to declare it, as can be seen on my user page's revision history, so I really do not appreciate being accused of not declaring that I am a paid editor. I never in any way associated Tasha Williamson's page with Women in Red either, even though I subscribed to WiR, I did not link Williamson's page to the project or in any connect the two. I didn't use WiR to "support advertisements" and the recently AfD pages which I was recently paid to edit were about a man, Tom Wheelwright, not one of the red-linked women nominated for article creation on WiR.
I will accept whatever judgment is collectively made regarding this page, but I don't think it deserves to be taken down. At the very least there should be some way to fold it into existing articles, rather than just getting rid of it.KoenigWrites (talk) 03:40, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I just went through and fixed the reference list in the article (there are no longer multiple references to the same source or references to wikipedia). Assuming that the article is at all accurate, this woman is most notable for being a mayoral candidate, and general policy is that politicians require significantly more coverage to get an article than non-politicians. Most of the sources are places where she got quoted and identified as the spokesman for an aggrieved party. She may also have done some local advocacy stuff, but I agree that the only local sources do not support notability. Rockphed (talk) 14:38, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. Passes WP:GNG for her work as an activist but not as a politician. Her Peace Prize win was significant enough that she was the main subject of several articles acknowledging her work as an activist/ founder of the active non-profit San Diego Compassion Project, including the national news article "TCWF Honors Unsung Heroes With 21st Annual California Peace Prize", PR Newswire, 10 September 2013 (the text of which mainly is about Tasha Williamson and her work as an activist) . That in conjunction with all of the news articles already cited in the article are enough to just barely pass WP:GNG. On a side note, it would be helpful to create a notability guideline specifically for activists.4meter4 (talk) 21:53, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/merge The subject's notability is borderline but is enough for a start and it's only going to get better, as more is written about her. The arguments about paid editing and WiR are irrelevant as it doesn't matter how we got here; we're just here to consider the subject. Myself, I started the similar page Erica Garner. I don't have any particular axe to grind but my experience there indicates that having such an article is not problematic as it's been quite quiet since the initial fuss. The key policies are WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE which indicate that we should prefer a constructive outcome to deletion of all this content and its history. If we wanted to park this in some broader topic then List of African American activists is a possibility but, personally, I think we're better off keeping things as they are – the current version has a reasonably neutral tone and respectable format and it would be significant effort to boil this down into a list entry. If it works, don't fix it. Andrew D. (talk) 10:36, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CommentAccording to MIAR this journal is included in several databases, including Scopus. Currently no time to look closer at this, what makes you say that it is predatory? (It started way before we had predatory journals - but may have become one since). --Randykitty (talk) 07:14, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's a journal published by SciAlert.net/Medwell. If it's in Scopus, Scopus erred. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:29, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Forgive my ignorance, but could you explain in more detail how this makes the journal predatory? I'm not finding much about the publisher through a quick Google search. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 17:50, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thank you. I didn't find these results since I searched "Science Alert" rather than "SciAlert.net". – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 18:01, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It looks like this is a failure of WP:NJOURNAL. Although a journal listed in databases like Scopus would normally be kept per criterion 1b, the links presented by Headbomb show that the Journal of Biological Sciences is a predatory journal that shouldn't be indexed by these databases to begin with. (I should note that I'm not too familiar with the publication practices for academic journals, so I'm willing to reconsider my !vote after more discussion.) – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 20:14, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Further analysis of the SCOPUS listing on MARS shows this journal isn't listed in SCOPUS. (see here). The publisher is also listed as predatory on Beal's List. This means the journal has no value for the academic community in terms of contributing to its discipline because the peer review is faulty. Steve Quinn (talk) 11:04, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It pains me to disagree with the above !votes and to !vote "keep" on this one myself, but the fact remains that this journal was listed by Scopus, which makes it a clear meet of NJournals. Note that it has since been discontinued, but also note that notability is not temporary. I think it would set a bad precedent if we would basically argue that "listing in Scopus makes a journal notable, unless we don't like it, because then Scopus was mistaken". Of course, our article should mince no words about this journal being predatory, using the sources provided by Headbomb. --Randykitty (talk) 15:52, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NJOURNALS. My university library system marks their journal articles as peer reviewed (I am at the University of Oklahoma which is one of the "Big Ten" research universities).

Delete. I agree with Randykitty that we should not be rejecting pages because we don't like them. Nor should we reject a page that meets NJOURNAL because we think that SCOPUS made an error. We rely on third parties to make these judgements, not on our own feelings. Regardless, it still fails GNG; the article is bereft of any information other than the journal's existence. Note that even NJOURNAL says It is possible for a journal to qualify for a stand-alone article according to this standard and yet not actually be an appropriate topic for coverage in Wikipedia because of a lack of reliable, independent sources on the subject.SpinningSpark 12:33, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Predatory does not automatically equal not notable. If predatory, describe how in the article. Hyperbolick (talk) 14:35, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Randykitty. Wiki-notability is not temporary, and having been listed by Scopus in the past is traditionally enough to qualify, so by that standard, we'd be done. The question then becomes, is it possible to say anything else about the journal? And there, I think we can expand the article at least a little bit by talking about the publisher, so I come down as a "keep" (though a merge/redirect might also be suitable if a target could be identified). In borderline cases, I tend to think that we better serve the scientific community by documenting that a journal is predatory, rather than erasing our mention of it because it is predatory. XOR'easter (talk) 19:02, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per SpinningSpark. If the only thing in the article that can be referenced to a reliable independent source is that it appears in an index or whatever (and mind you, not a third-party statement that it appears in an index, but simply citing that index), there shouldn't be an article. Agricolae (talk) 19:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As some of my previous !votes have been discounted for not explicitly naming a policy: Fails WP:GNG. I also agree that WP:NTEMP is not applicable to this situation - it was never notable. Agricolae (talk) 20:21, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The journal was not notable even while it was listed by Scopus, so WP:NTEMP is irrelevant here. There are good reasons why WP:NJOURNALS is just an essay, and not a guideline. In complicated cases we should rely on official WP policies and guidelines such as WP:GNG. I feel that having been listed in a single selective index like Scopus is insufficient in cases like this one, and WP:GNG does require significant coverage by multiple sources. In biology specifically, which is the topic of this journal, for journals that are genuinely notable I would accpect to see them listed in the WebOfScience and probably PubMed. Neither one has ever indexed this journal, and it never had a JCR impact factor. I don't think we should disregard the fact that the journal is published by a predatory publisher. Similar to WP:FRINGE cases, we should treat such journals with greater scruitiny. Predatory journals basically function as expensive self-publishing platforms; they receive little coverage, their articles get minimal citations, and the journals are generally ignored by the scientific community. We should not keep WP articles on such journals just because the journals exist. In any case, the bottom line is that WP:GNG is not satisfied here. Nsk92 (talk) 20:50, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article on a high school basketball player seems WP:TOOSOON to me and requires a WP:CRYSTALBALL to claim he's notable. Many high school stars fail to become WP notable and I'm not seeing that WP:GNG is met. Papaursa (talk) 17:27, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the sources here are promotional. All of the sources that seem to be interviews are in fact just paid articles by suit companies. Once promotional sources are discounted, there's not much left. From those, I see no WP:SIGCOV. Additionally, this article was previously declined as an AfC, and entered mainspace by its author sidestepping AfC. Those problems combined make me believe the article is both problematic and non-notable. Captain EekEdits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 04:08, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Keep: Additional sources has been added to the article to prove notability. The subject is notable within its industry. This argument is supported by a social media following over 150,000 followers on its Instagram profile, several industry relevant press features, interviews and work references with notable industry relevant brands. The sources that were marked as promotional has been deleted and replaced with other non-promotional sources. Being a new author on Wikipedia I want to give my sincere apology for any sidesteps in regards to AfC. This was unintentionally and I will make sure that this does not happen again.

Draftify - article was already rejected by AfC but was moved outside of process to article space despite not quite being ready. After closing the sockpuppet investigation I've given the author some advice on finding more sources like the detailed writeup in The Gentleman, but clearly they need more time to work on it and make it a good encyclopedia article rather than an advertisement. The other sources provided are pretty bare, but a model getting somewhat prominent coverage in many independent sources seems to suggest that notability is there, we just need to find more complete information.

Comment This feedback is much appreciated. I believe that I will be able to find more complete information about the subject through deeper research. I will just need more time for this. JoshuaAnderson15 (talk) 18:49, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify per Ivanvector and Rosguill. I found this by trying to clean up the inevitable daily glut of pages that are in mainspace but were still filed in Category:Pending AfC submissions — an error which usually results from situations exactly like this, where the creator submitted it to the AFC review queue and then immediately moved it into mainspace themselves without waiting for the AFC process to finish. If it hadn't already had an AFD template on it, accordingly, I would otherwise have moved it straight back into draftspace on "out of process move" grounds — so that's the correct resolution to the AFD process too. No, the sources here aren't enough yet — but the creator does have the right to some time to find more, which is exactly what draftspace is for. Bearcat (talk) 18:21, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Could not find any sources in either print or online, beyond his own Forbes contributions (which are conveniently listed at the bottom of the article). So in summary: all facts stated in the biography are sourced from text this person wrote himself. Could not find even very minor mentions of Brandt elsewhere. He is therefore not notable per Wikipedia guidelines and this article should be uncontroversially deleted. PK650 (talk) 01:52, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other and independent of the subject (not including any apparent self-authored or sponsored content). Appears to easily meet WP:NBIO "Basic Criteria" requirements.
Comment@Ljswiki: First of all, please remember to sign your name with four tildes. You appear to have an interest in trying to promote the article subject. Tell us why this is an encyclopedic article rather than another one of those annoying ads that makes encyclopedia readers want to hit the X button on their browsers. How has this person actually contributed to the field, and why is he of encyclopedic rather than promotional interest? Passing mentions in better-known news outlets don't count, and definitely not YouTube videos. — Sagotreespirit (talk) 17:18, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Provisional delete. As it stands, this article is a gross breach of WP:IN-UNIVERSE and WP:NOTPLOT. However, I did find A Breath of Fresh Eyre: Intertextual and Intermedial Reworkings of Jane Eyre which has an in-depth out-of-universe discussion of the social culture of Beta Colony in comparison to the social difficulties of Jane Eyre covering half a dozen pages. I think it would be WP:UNDUE to base an article entirely on one writer—we don't know if this is an outlier crazy idea or generally in line with feminist thinking. But I also found Lois McMaster Bujold: Essays on a Modern Master of Science Fiction and Fantasy which has some brief out-of-universe talk about Beta Colony (see note 6 of Regina Yung Lee's article). I'm willing to withdraw my delete if there is someone willing to run with this and turn it into an encyclopaedic article. SpinningSpark 12:12, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting finds, but I can't get sufficient view of the books to confirm there's in-depth coverage of the location/society (if I could I'be happy to withdraw this nom). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:45, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: What gbooks will serve is often context related. Try doing your own gbooks search with the search term <Bujold "Beta Colony"> rather than following the direct link. Both the results I linked should come up on the first page. SpinningSpark 08:50, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - nice finds by Spinningspark. However I don't believe the brief mention in note #6 on page 48 of the Essays reference is in-depth enough to satisfy WP:SIGCOV. Onel5969TT me 14:20, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
