The result was Redirect to List of Cardiff City F.C. players (1–24 appearances). As User:GiantSnowman says, a fair compromise. To be clear, the determination here is that there is a consensus that there should not be an article on this subject due to minimal notability and sourcing, but neither is there a consensus that this subject should be wiped out of the encyclopedia entirely.

Article about semi-pro footballer who made a single substitute's appearance (as an unpaid trialist) for a club in a fully-pro league. Theoretically, someone could read WP:NFOOTBALL as covering such an article (I don't think it should when the player is a trialist), but the article comprehensively fails WP:GNG (a few database entries, a note about his youth coaching in Italy, a blurb on a former employer's website, and an entry in the book cited in the article leave us far short of significant coverage).

The result was delete. While some editors advanced an argument around notability being demonstrated by some sources, including Money Logging, a consensus of participating editors feel those sources either are not reliable sources or otherwise do not present significant coverage of Murray. Murray may merit inclusion in some other articles but there was no consensus among either keep or delete participants about a merge target. Barkeep49 (talk) 22:16, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:GNG, and WP:BLP1E may apply as all coverage that does exist is directly in connection with one court case as pointed out by Onel5969, who had nominated this for PROD. The initial editor responded by insisting that the subject is notable because they are very wealthy. Being very wealthy is not a criterion listed in WP:NBIO, and is no indicator of notability, which is predicated on significant coverage in reliable sources. signed, Rosguill talk 05:56, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Above comments made by Hoagy23
The Sarawak Report includes some significant coverage of the subject, although it's mostly in the context of the activities of the rest of her family. The other sources not so much. If you can find more coverage like that, I'd be fine with voting keep here. I would note that Abdul Taib, Sulaiman Taib and Hanifah Taib are/were politicians that meet WP:NPOLITICIAN; the same cannot be said for Jamilah, and notability is not inherited. That having been said, arguments make a decent case for having an article about the Taib family. The independent notability of Jamilah Taib Murray is still in question. signed, Rosguill talk 22:30, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, notability is not inherited. Also, most of the notoriety of Jamilah Taib Murray comes from the BMF campaign. However, she has put herself into the public eye as the result of her extensive philanthropic activites, as well as her legal actions.[5] Other organizations, notably Global Witness and OECD Watch, have included mention of Jamilah Taib Murray and Sakto Corporation in their research on corruption related to logging in Sarawak.[6][7]
Articles about Jamilah Taib Murray have been written in the Toronto Star[8], Ici Radio-Canada Télé (the French language outlet for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation[9], Financial Post[10], and The Globe and Mail[11], among many others. To have one of the wealthiest women in Canada, active in philanthropic circles, who has generated so much media coverage and controversy from multiple sources, to be ignored by Wikipedia would seem odd. She is, in my opinion, far more noteworthy than many other Canadian businesspeople who have pages devoted to them.[12]
Above comments made by Hoagy23
Ok, let's look at these additional sources.
  • #5 is coverage of the case against Sakto, but doesn't really have any information about Taib Murray other than that she owns Sakto with her husband and that she is Abdul Taib Muhammad's daughter
  • #6 is some sort of primary source report, which at any rate barely mentions Jamilah Taib Murray.
  • #7 does not mention Jamilah Taib Murray.
  • #8 is an opinion piece, and thus likely should not be considered reliable coverage of the subject, as its coverage comprises claims made by an NGO against Taib Murray
  • #9 only mentions Taib Murray to quote her website's comment on allegations against the company Sakto. All other coverage is focused on her father, Sakto or La famille Taib
  • #10 is a mere-mention of Taib Murray, stating that she and her husband are the proprietors of Sakto
  • #11 is paywalled and I can't access it so someone who can access it will need to provide relevant quotes.
I still don't see enough coverage to meet GNG. I think that we have coverage that could make useful additions to Abdul Taib Mahmud, and possibly enough content to write an article about the Taib family or Sakto, but we're rather thin on coverage of Jamilah Taib Murray specifically. signed, Rosguill talk 23:46, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sakto is a private company owned by Jamilah Taib Murray. I suppose a person could simply start a company and hide behind its name, and therefore avoid any acknowledgement/scrutiny, but that would seem to be an odd way for Wikipedia to understand the biographies of individuals, and their roles in the world. So, all an individual has to do in order to ensure that Wikipedia will ignore them is to create a private company name, call it 'X', and suddenly all of the corporate activities are magically unrelated to that individual, and of no general interest. However, if that individual starts a private Canadian company and names it after him or herself, as is the case with Irving Oil, then James K. Irving, Arthur Irving, John E. Irving (who warrants an entry, apparently, because he "gained a reputation as being the most reflective of the Irving family" and "was a strong supporter of the arts in Atlantic Canada"), as well as Sarah Irving (who, other than being the granddaughter of K.C. Irving, and stupendously rich, appears to have led an unexceptional life), then that person is of biographical relevance. The interest of numerous NGOs, as well as global media, particularly in Asia and Canada, in the nature and activities of the corporate interests of Jamilah Taib Murray, and their provenance (inclusive of Sakto, Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad, Ridgeford, all of which are mentioned in the Wikipedia entry, and have caused some controversy in the media), is in my view of far greater interest than the grandaughter of an oil magnate, who has accomplished little of her own volition. Perhaps if Jamilah Taib Murray had named her real estate business after herself, as was the case with Campeau Corporation, she would have been more easily identified, and deserving of an entry, as is the case with Robert Campeau, who is notable only for the rise and fall of his real estate empire.
I leave it to the editors, but to suggest that the corporate interests of Jamilah Taib Murray, and the controversy surrounding their provenance, including court cases in Canada and Switzerland, and mention in Canada's House of Commons, is of lesser merit than Kathleen Andrews, "a British-Canadian bus driver and transport manager," and is therefore of no interest to the readership of Wikipedia, is frankly baffling.
It should also be noted that Wikipedia is lacking in female business leaders in Canada. With a proven net worth of over $250 million, and an active role as a philanthropist,[13][14][15] Jamilah Taib Murray would seem to warrant an entry as much as Mina Lux. The fact that Jamilah Taib Murray herself avoids scrutiny as to the origin of her impressive wealth does not, in my view, disqualify her.
Above comments made by Hoagy23
If a person is covered by RS only in the context of their affiliation with a company, the general procedure is to write an article about that company, and then redirect the founder/executive/etc's name to the article about the company. The only reason I haven't suggested writing an article about Sakto is because it wasn't clear from the information cited here that the company met notability guidelines either. Having just done an internet search for Satko Group, I'm now fairly confident that it would meet notability guidelines and would encourage you to write that article. As for all the other articles, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. From glancing at the article for Sarah Irving, I would vote to delete that too, but that's not an argument to keep this article. Robert Campeau, on the other hand, has citations to long and detailed biographical profiles. The issue isn't whether someone is only famous for being affiliated with one company: the issue is when all coverage of a subject is in connection to news reporting about a company. Find me an article like this about Taib Murray and I'd be happy to vote keep. signed, Rosguill talk 04:29, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good points, particularly on a Sakto page, though that is only one of her corporate entities, among many. One oddity is that in the Swiss court case which the Wikipedia page covers, Jamilah Taib Murray names herself with her husband, along with Sakto itself, in the lawsuit. Legally, she directly ties her interest and reputation with those of Sakto, which makes sense, as she is the owner. Otherwise, she keeps a low profile, with the exception of her philanthropic activities, which might in and of themselves warrant her entry, as she is very much a part of "high society" on Ottawa - the Ottawa Business Journal alone has nine entries[16]. It is of note that her legal woes are of interest to the press in Asia, too.[17] I will defer to the community, and hope this page stays up, as I still find it odd that such a controversial and public figure, of such immense wealth, active in many philanthropic enterprises, embroiled in numerous legal battles, is somehow excluded from relevance/interest, yet one of her companies - itself a product of her wealth and activities, yet otherwise simply a real estate company - might warrant entry. In her philanthropic activity she clearly wants to be "known" along with Sakto.[18][19]

  • Also, I would be remiss if I didn't point out that your edit history (or rather, lack thereof) is a bit suspicious. If you had voted in opposition to me, I would likely be opening a sockpuppet investigation right now. As I'm fairly confident that you are not secretly me in disguise, I have to ask if you have any relevant conflicts of interest to disclose. Your arguments appear to be sound, but your familiarity with additional details about the subject not previously mentioned in this discussion is further evidence of a possible relationship with the subject. signed, Rosguill talk 16:54, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the helpful references and comments. I now know the meaning of sockpuppet. My apologies for getting a few things wrong - as you correctly note, I am new to this, and created the account only to address the material that is the subject of this page. The attempt to use Wikipedia as part of a publicity campaign against a private individual concerned me. Regarding COI, I now know I ought to have declared this in providing comments on the deletion discussion. I specifically avoided suggesting edits on the actual page as I saw that as problematic. To clarify, I am not being paid to comment/edit, but I do have an existing relationship with parties mentioned in the page. I will refrain from providing more detail out of fear of retribution from the proponents. I have attempted to be factual and avoid bias, recognizing that it is difficult to do so. The facts to which I refer are all in the public domain, and available on the BMF website and the website [21] maintained by legal council to Sakto Corporation, which addresses the legal dispute in question. I do hope the page in question is deleted. Wellput (talk) 20:26, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hoagy23 has made very few contributions in Wikipedia besides the contested article. -The Gnome (talk) 06:40, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The purported sources are little more than standard, celeb advertorials and obscure name-drops: Rosguill has already dealt with most of them, above. As to the book Money Logging: On the Trail of the Asian Timber Mafia (Schwabe, 2014), proffered as evidence of independent notability, a closer look shows that the book mentions Jamilah only when mentioning her father's family and progeny. There is no merit here. -The Gnome (talk) 06:40, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They aren't that obscure, I mean. And there are more, which you just do not mention.

You continued to stick with the claim of nothing past one film after Boneymau pointed out the tv series. Why would you do that if you were judging the subject on their notability. On another point your nomination claims no evidence of notability even though there was a properly sourced claim of notability, a nomination for her country's top acting award. How is that not evidence? I also reject your claim of inadequate blp sourcing, there was nothing in the stub that was not reliably sourced. duffbeerforme (talk) 09:52, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed .... I misread what Boneymau had said and I thought that was obvious in my reply!?, Up until your !vote I thought she'd only been in one film (because that's all you bothered to include in the article), IMHO an award is not in itself a warrant to an article ...., You could've included a lot more information and certainly a lot more sourcing instead of creating hopeless stubs and expecting everyone else to do the work for you. –Dave | Davey2010Talk 11:49, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is part of a new campaign to delete a bunch of summer camp articles. I have seen previous campaigns, mostly ending in Keep decisions, including one about a bunch of Jewish summer camps (this is not one, but see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jewish summer camps and local organizations); i have seen other campaigns too. I don't get the interest in deleting these. It can be appropriate to tag for more sources and development, but I believe that there will exist coverage about this project, which surely has been covered in newspapers and in guidebook-type sources, much coverage being long pre-internet.IMHO, summer camps are like public schools and parks and other places/facilities which touch the lives of many persons, often in significant ways, and are written about somewhat at least in guidebook-type literature (which can be very reliable and high in quality), and it serves the public to have these covered in at least a reference way, and IMHO Wikipedia could probably be a comprehensive gazetteer (sp?) about them, like we are for populated places. --Doncram (talk) 21:17, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

is this bio about him relating to 2018 speech. I don't mind if this article includes more about him, i.e. is sort of a combo article about him and the camps. And this video news story "Scott Brody of Camps Kenwood & Evergreen interviewed on NECN", from New England Cable News in 2012, with a lot of summer camp footage (not very clearly identified?, but then "Camp Evergreen" comes up in a title) by the way. And one hour speech by Scott Brody at Leaders Assembly in 2016. Scott Brody is pretty clearly individually notable on his own, if not being covered as part of this article, which is also okay.

Again, these camps are old, from 1930 and 1950, and pre-internet coverage is to be expected, too. Is there anything factually disputed about this article, at all?
And, wp:ATD tells us we should look for alternatives to deletion, and there is no way this article should be deleted outright. At a minimum, the camps should be mentioned/covered in a new article about Scott Brody, or this article could be moved and expanded to be more about him. But it seems to me best to keep article about the longterm camp and cover more about him in this article and in a new separate article. --Doncram (talk) 17:07, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point to these multiple independent sources that are known to exist and which cover the camp in detail, so that I can read them and add them to the article? ----Pontificalibus 08:35, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, here is Hollywood Reporter's article: 13 East Coast Camps Where Hollywood Stars Spent Their Summers, from 2016. And First American-Style Sleepaway Camps Open In China, from wbur.org's Here and Now, whatever that is, about how the director of the two camps is being invited to develop/apply the model in China. And it is notably gluten-free. Did you or anyone else try searching on "Camp Kenwood" and/or "Camp Evergreen", rather than "Camps Kenwood and Evergreen". I doubt that highly, because there are lots of hits. --Doncram (talk) 01:24, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I have added the first two to the article, although principally to verify specific facts. There might be lots of hits, but do we have multiple independent sources discussing the camp in detail? I think it's pretty borderline - WP:ORGDEPTH says we need "a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements". ----Pontificalibus 06:46, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Contested speedy deletion; please see this AN discussion for background. tl;dr: it is suggested that this individual is not sufficiently notable for Wikipedia, and that the article is either (or both) unacceptably promotional and/or unacceptably negative in tone.

I will not work on this any more as I find the repeated and unsanctioned abuse of administrative rights to circumvent this deletion discussion, which is explicitly forbidden by Wikipedia rules on draftification, including the blanking of the page now, the repeated untrue claims, the lack of punishment for the single purpose vandals who inserted Portuguese advertisements, and this highly tendentious nomination who seems to be misled by the countless wrong claims just scandalous.
I invite you to reflect on whether you can be proud about what you are doing, and invite those that already voted to reconsider in view of a more comprehensive picture of the case, even though a real informed decision cannot be taken anyway over an article that is blanked.Omikroergosum (talk) 19:42, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Omikroergosum: I said in the opening to this discussion that I was going to block anyone making personal attacks in this discussion.

Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:46, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If it is decided to be a "personal attack" here to point out that, to the umpteenth time, Wikipedia rules explicitly say a draftification is not acceptable to circumvent a deletion discussion I will not be part of this project any longer. Good bye.Omikroergosum (talk) 19:52, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The previous "speedy keep" discussion was closed because it was created by a sockpuppet out of process. In other words it wasn't a discussion and the "keep" result was more of a "procedural close". Essentially that discussion can't be said to have decided anything. As for the comment: international coverage is compelling, and his media activity suggests that WP:LOWPROFILE doesn't apply in terms of WP:BLP considerations (he actively promotes himself = he is not low-profile) but doesn't lend itself to notability specifically. Who he's treated is irrelevant (WP:NOTINHERITED), and if the court case confers notability it's not because his opponent is famous (also NOTINHERITED). Coverage of his inadvertent sex tape is the sort of thing WP:BLP1E protects against. All of these things are in fact covered in the dewiki article, with sources, but Omikroergosum also wrote that article, so the fact it exists is also irrelevant.
Overall I think this is a "not yet" situation. I think that notability is satisfied, but based on the available sources (or those that have been presented) we cannot write a proper balanced article - it's just going to be a WP:COATRACK for allegations of wrongdoing. I'm holding out for more biographical sources to improve the balance, but at the moment I am strongly leaning delete. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:07, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I was not aware of wikipedia speedy keep slang. Change it to strong keep then. In the previous deletion decision the legitimate user who first supported the sockpuppet nominator changed his vote from delete to keep because I convinced him that the article is not about an alleged criminal but about someone accused of questionable practices by a famous singer and two investigative journalists, one international. Ivanvector, no one ever said he inherited notability. He clearly has Notability according to the rules that are so happily ignored here via numerous reliable secondary sources with in depth coverage of him. He was involved in several events: nationally widely reported publishing activities, internationally widely reported doping revelations, a nationally widely reported lost case to a famous singer, nationally widely reported treatment of a Grammy Award Winner, and many of these reports have in depth coverage of him, not of her, which shows how much of a celebrity he himself is in Brazil. Just came here to save the international sources to the German version. Won't come back, no matter what "arguments" you come up with next. Omikroergosum (talk) 20:34, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Omikroergosum, I'm not sure why you think being the doctor to an award winner conveys notability. It doesn't. Neither does being a celebrity's personal assistant, dog walker, hair stylist, personal trainer or coach. Just coming into the sphere of a famous person doesn't make a person notable. He needs to have accomplished something more than having popular social media accounts. Liz Read! Talk! 01:10, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment (I have edited the above !vote to comply with the usual formatting in AFDs, without changing the wording). To answer the comments made: 1/ A smattering of citations is to be expected for even a new journal. However, the journal is too young to have already accumulated a significant amount of citations, this does not meet NJournals. 2/ "The online discussion of the journal is extensive and positive": please show us. If this is in reliable sources, it might establish notability under GNG. 3/ That the journal is publishing actively is irrelevant. 4/ "I often recommend students read the Wikipedia entry of a journal to appreciate its context within the field." WP can only put a journal into the context of its field if there are reliable sources independent of the journal that do this. Our personal opinions should stay out of it. 5/ Nobody says the journal is predatory. That it is not fake is not enough reason to include it. 6/ Perhaps the editorial board includes notable scientists. I didn't check this because it is irrelevant because notability is not inherited. --Randykitty (talk) 13:04, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Notability may not be inherited, but, per WP:ACADEMIC, being a chief editor of a major, well established journal is a sign that an academic is notable. In other words, we look at editors of journals to establish the notability of the editor, not to establish the notability of the publication. Rockphed (talk) 15:07, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Peach Pit (band)[edit]

Peach Pit (band) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

Semi-advertorialized article about a band, which is not a significant improvement in either substance or sourcing over the version that was deleted in 2018. The only WP:NMUSIC criterion this is even attempting to pass is #4 (touring), but notability because touring requires the article to be referenced to published concert reviews in real media, not just cursory verification that the tour happened on the self-published website of the band they were opening for. And the sourcing otherwise still isn't cutting it at all -- nine of the twelve sources here are blogs, student media, primary sources or performance clips on YouTube, which are doing nothing in terms of establishing the band's notability at all, and the one source that looks like a mic drop on the surface (Billboard) is not substantive coverage about the band, but merely a glancing namecheck of their existence in an article whose core subject is something else. So the only sources here that are actually getting the band off the starting blocks at all are BeatRoute and The Tenneseean, which is not enough coverage to get them over NMUSIC #1 all by itself if all the rest of the sourcing around it is junk. Bearcat (talk) 14:50, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notability, for Wikipedia purposes, is reliable sourcing. Not YouTube videos, not groundswells of buzz, not guitar lessons, not artistic renderings, not replicas of wardrobes: media coverage, media coverage, media coverage and/or media coverage. And not media as in blogs like "We Plug Good Music" or university student newspapers like "The Red & Black", either: media as in real daily newspapers and real print magazines, which is not what you've been using. Bearcat (talk) 20:56, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You sound upset Bearcat? Thank you for your incredibly high standards for Wikipedia. It's interesting to consider that a handful of blogs (by your definition) are capable of having wider circulation and cultural influence than many large city print papers and print magazines combined. As papers continue to fail and consolidate, this may press Wikipedia's historical reliance on print sources to a challenge. I dug up the Billboard Canada charts where Peach Pit had a decent run after studying WP:NMUSIC closer. Thanks again.Luke Kindred (talk) 22:30, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The definition of a reliable source, for Wikipedia purposes, is not based on subjective interpretations of its influence, it's based on objective, quantifiable markers of its trustworthiness: its adherence to journalistic standards (such as researching carefully enough to be sure that the things it reports are correct, and being willing to publish corrections on the record when it does mess up), its editorial chain of command, its readership and distribution, its content being archived (e.g. on microfilm or in an online archiving database) so that the content will still be recoverable if the website ever dies, and its established reputation as a reliable reporter of real news. A site that doesn't meet those tests isn't a reliable source no matter how much "influence" you claim (but fail to verifiably prove) that it has. Bearcat (talk) 17:18, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And also, you've failed to properly verify that they actually made the Billboard charts. You cited the claim to this week's chart, which doesn't have any Peach Pit songs in it at all — the single that occupies the #37 position in the cited link is Tegan and Sara's "I'll Be Back Someday", with Peach Pit's "Alrighty Aphrodite" nowhere to be found in the entire chart. Even if they really did make the Billboard charts, you're going to have to find a source that actually verifies that before it changes anything. Bearcat (talk) 20:18, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The creator hasn't properly sourced that the band actually made the national charts: they've cited the claim to this week's Billboard chart, which doesn't have any Peach Pit songs in it. Bearcat (talk) 20:18, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, Bearcat (talk), I had noticed that, too, when I followed the link, nor did I get anything when I did a word search on the Billboard website. I was thinking it was a spurious claim and was ready to vote delete based on that, until I did find evidence in a bulletin board (which a protection filter won't allow me to link here) that chronicles the Billboard Canada charts with screen shots, which I couldn't find elsewhere. It appears their song "Alrighty Aphrodite" was in the bottom reaches of the charts (in the 30's and 40's) from June until Mid July of this year. While I personally think it's not much of an encyclopedic accomplishment, it nonetheless meets chart criteria. If it was just one week and done (those usually indicate pre-orders rather than actual success) I might have argued weak delete, but the fact it stuck around for a while makes me think there is something there. ShelbyMarion (talk) 20:42, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Even assuming good faith (which I have to until somebody can actually show me the proper proof), it isn't really the case that technical passage of an NMUSIC criterion confers a free exemption from the sourcing from actually having to be solid — even with a seeming notability claim in pocket, the quality of the sourcing that can be provided to support the article is still the make or break condition as to whether an article is justified or not. NMUSIC criteria don't exempt bands from having to have better than junk sourcing; the SNG serves to clarify the kinds of statements that can make the band notable provided that the article is supported by solid sourcing, but the sourcing still has to be solid no matter what. Bearcat (talk) 21:22, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You're going to have to try a lot harder than that. The 405 and Trend Privé are not reliable sources of any sort (they both accept user-generated submissions from absolutely any self-promoter who wants the publicity, and don't have named editorial mastheads at all); the Calgary Journal and the Chicago Maroon are both college student newspapers, which NMUSIC explicitly deprecates as totally unacceptable non-starters for demonstrating the notability of musical artists; BeatRoute and The Georgia Straight are both local to the band's own hometown, whereas a band has to have more than just local coverage to claim a "because media coverage exists" exemption from actually having to have attained any properly verified distinctions. So you've shown some sources that would be fine if there were better sources in the mix, and some sources that are completely unusable, and exactly zero sources that are enough in and of themselves to get the band over WP:GNG all by themselves in the absence of anything better. Bearcat (talk) 20:08, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the 405 is regarded highly enough that they have contributed to the BBC's Sound Of annual award selection, and the article on that site is written by one of its staff (Associate Editor). Just because a publication will accept submissions or is advertising for people to apply to write for it, that doesn't mean that there is no editorial oversight or fact checking. --Michig (talk) 20:55, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Lots of bloggers have served on award committees, without reifying their blogs into reliable sources because of it. Doesn't mean we suspend all of our other rules about what does or doesn't constitute a reliable source (like actually being able to locate a named masthead, or exactly zero point zero zero zero of their content ever being user-generated submissions by anybody other than paid real journalists) just because we can find an associated person's name in a different source's list of contributors. Bearcat (talk) 21:22, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a blog. The website's staff are listed on the 'About Us' page on the site. --Michig (talk) 05:55, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say it was a blog. I used bloggers as a parallel example to why contributing to a different media outlet's award selection committee is not in and of itself the magic conferrer of "reliable" status on a source that doesn't otherwise meet all of the actual criteria to be considered a reliable source. And I notice you aren't otherwise attempting to locate better sources to counter the problems I pointed out with Trend Privé, the Calgary Journal or the Chicago Maroon, either. Bearcat (talk) 14:46, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You still have to reference the rest of the article's content to real reliable sources, not blogs and student media, before the equation changes. The rule isn't that as long as they technically meet a criterion, they're allowed to use junk sourcing and exempted from having to show solid sources — NMUSIC #1 must always be met by every article about a band or musician, through the use of the correct quality of sources. Regardless of what other criteria the article does or doesn't claim passage of, a band still has to pass #1 in addition to the other criterion. Bearcat (talk) 14:46, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OK, now you are just making up your own rules. WP:NMUSIC states clearly, "Musicians[...]may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria" then list 1-12. It absolutely does NOT say, "NMUSIC #1 must always be met by every article about a band or musician" and I believe that your word twisting puts your credibility as an editor in question. There are in fact many NMUSIC articles which rely almost entirely upon one of the 12 items, and not necessarily #1. You seem to be arguing pretty heavy for a "technical" conformity to WP:NMUSIC so now you're just contradicting yourself.Luke Kindred (talk) 20:19, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't make up my own rules. Every article on Wikipedia must always be supported by reliable source coverage about the topic, and no topic can ever claim anything that is so "inherently" notable that the topic is exempted from having to have any reliable source coverage just because of what the article says. Yes, a band is a valid potential topic for a Wikipedia article if they pass one of the criteria in NMUSIC 2-12; reliable source coverage still has to be present to support the article before it's actually allowed to exist, because that's exactly how Wikipedia always works. (For a reason why, keep in mind that if all a band had to do to get into Wikipedia was say that they passed an NMUSIC criterion, and they didn't actually have to show any sources as long as they had claimed passage of an NMUSIC criterion, then bands could force themselves into Wikipedia by lying about passing NMUSIC criteria they didn't really pass — and then we're not an encyclopedia anymore, but just a free platform for people's own self-published PR bumf. And just to be clear, no, I'm not saying this band's notability claim is a lie; I'm simply pointing out the reasons why technical passage of a notability criterion cannot automatically exempt a band from still having to have reliable sources.) And if you can find other articles which aren't properly sourced, then read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS — the fact that some articles can be found that aren't properly sourced doesn't mean that sourcing becomes optional, it means the other non-compliant articles need to be deleted too and just hadn't been noticed by a responsible editor yet.

I looked and could not find anything in NCORP saying if you have multiple franchises you are notable.

the sourcing remains deeply sketchy. For example the Art In America profile looks good, until you realize that it was written by his close collaborator at Related Tactics, Michele Carlson. The main items mentioned int he article (residencies, curated some shows, got a few grants) are just run of the mill artist activities. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 19:58, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, I didn't even see the author of that profile. thanks for pointing out. the SF gate source and the SFAC press release seem fine, but it's dubious. Gilded Snail (talk) 21:03, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment #2 - I looked a little deeper and I found a list of collections on his CV (there are also additional exhibitions to be found there but I did not look into whether there are reviews.) I added a section to his article, "Collections" and found citations for three of them, which have been added to the article. Netherzone (talk) 00:04, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nice work! I correct the URL for MIlls college and withdrew the nomination per WP:HEY.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:13, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Despite the fact that the nominator has withdrawn, a delete !vote remains in the discussion, so this cannot be closed with a speedy keep result. More input is needed for a consensus to hopefully be formed.

I don't think this business passes the general notability guideline. None of the links given inline mention the company at all (that they're not in the right format has no bearing on this AfD, IMO), and a Google Search returns nothing but such sites as LinkedIn, Newswire, etc., none of which establish notability. This could possibly fall under G11, but I wanted to play it safe and bring it here. – John M Wolfson (talkcontribs) 00:49, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
