This was deleted via AfD in May 2020. Recently recreated by an SPA, who also removed the speedy tag. The overall tone of the article is so promotional and riddled with inflated claims that I can't really cut through the promotion to assess the notability accurately. Seems to be an NARTIST fail. I asked the deleting admin to look at the old version and they said they doubt the reliability of this version. Bringing it here for another discussion.

Delete and salt Per the prior consensus that this person wasn't notable enough for an article. Which if going by the article and a search on Google hasn't changed in the three months since this was deleted. Also, salt it isn't just recreated again by the SPA editor.

Don't Delete The article has been updated by additional citations. The media coverage comes from internationally recognized media: ELLE, InStyle, Le Figaro, TV France 3, HARPER'S BAZAAR, TATLER. Additionally to this there is coverage coming from the artists home country such as Kommersant (leading Russian newspaper) among other. The artist has published a book. The artist was selected among 10 artists to participate in the campaign of twenty huge art objects painted by artists from all over the world to support Yekaterinburg's bid to host World Expo 2025. The artist was appointed the Art Director of "2019 Monaco Grand Prix Formula 1", 90th Anniversary. Between 2013 and 2017 the artist was auctioned by Phillips Auction House in London and NYC 4 times. The art of Beridze can be found in the private collections of the celebrities: Ivana Trump, Joan Collins and personalities such as Alisher Usmanov. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M65343696 (talk • contribs) 00:56, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete Maybe the 'weak' part is just me feeling sad about anything historical, although a quick WP:BEFORE suggests some sources, but I don't think they'll be sufficient. Also, if the article isn't getting improved during a deletion discussion, it seems unlikely that it will be improved later on.

Comment. The article says this is a Samithi (an active religious association) with six branches (associations) scattered over the 17th district of Assam and West Bengal. It seems to cater to the religious needs of the Bodo people, and as such, is likely to be a seva samithi - that is - rendering selfless service to the poor and the needy. The listing of the Presidents is likely to be the only notablity available on Internet resources. The Wayback Machine gives (Got an HTTP 301 response at crawl time).

Delete he was the "official bicentenial playwright" for Worthington, Ohio. Worthington is a suburb of Columbus with less than 15,000 people. He is also a middle school drama teacher.

This throne has been defunct since the early 1800s. WP:DEL-REASON 6: Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes). It is impossible to attribute the current line of succession to this throne to WP:RELIABLE sources, because there is no current line of succession, because monarchy doesn't exist anymore. See also WP:NOTGENEALOGY. There are also WP:BLP concerns about the people who are listed here, including at least one minor.
So basically, the same reasons as the previous 20 lines of successions to defunct thrones that have been deleted recently (1234567891011121314151617181920). TompaDompa (talk) 21:10, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article does not meet WP:GNG. The subject lacks multiple independent secondary sources providing significant coverage. Per WP:SIGCOV: ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail". WP:BEFORE revealed no additional WP:RS that addresses the subject directly and in-depth that would establish notability. The article does not provide encyclopedic content and meets WP:NOTEVERYTHING. // Timothy :: talk 19:59, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. We have articles on similar publications for sub-national units in other Commonwealth countries. See, e.g., Kerala Gazette, Ontario Gazette. Making a WP:OSE argument because these are, in my view, strictly analogous. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 22:15, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep per AleatoryPonderings. The state gazettes are longstanding and notable. Deus et lex (talk) 23:46, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this fails the secondary in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources needed to pass WP:GNG and just having other extremely badly sourced articles on similar things isn't a good reason to keep it. I'd suggest doing AfDs on them also. Since they clearly fail WP:GNG. While I'm not a huge fan ofWP:OSEs arguments in general, I'm even less a fan of them when the "other stuff" doesn't even meet the notability guidelines. "lets keep this non-notable thing, because of these other non-notable things" is extremely weak reasoning IMO. What it should ultimately come down to is if the subject of the AfD passes WP:GNG or not, and as things currently are this doesn't. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:31, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Adamant1: Fair enough, but I'm not sure that WP:GNG is the right guideline to apply to this publication or its analogues in other countries. Rather, I'd suggest that WP:NPERIODICAL—yes, just an essay, but I find it convincing—is the right guideline. Government gazettes—a non-Commonwealth example is the Federal Register—are the official reports of legislation and regulations, so they are continually use[d] as a citation in academic or scholarly works and in other government documents. Any law journal, for instance, will cite official reports of legislation or regulations. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 02:02, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for reasons already given about the lack of notability. Since I'm not seeing anything about it that would pass WP:ORGCRIT or WP:GNG either.

Keep. This is an article about al theatre, so the correct criteria are GNG and the not-very-helpful WP:NBUILD, not WP:ORGCRIT. It is clearly a professional venue, equivalent to an off-Broadway theatre in New York City. The article is not currently well-referenced, and it quotes too extensively from the theatre's website, but this is a significant venue and is certainly notable. It seems clear to me that this article simply needs a little attention from someone capable of going through the Google News and Google books sources and adding in-line cites to the statements made.

Keep: Per AleatoryPonderings and other sources found. Please note; that a week rationale for keep may grant a reprisal for now, but a relisting, because the Nom was valid, could result in a different outcome. It is policy that information be verified and that primary sources do not advance notability. When notability is contested it become the burden of those wishing inclusion to provide proof according to our policies and guidelines. "Keep" gestures (wannabe !votes) will not usually suffice in many debates. If a venue is important it will likely have achieved notice and thereby sources. "All of the above" can be seen as "keep because everyone else likes it", and sourcing through the "external links section (certainly "not currently well-referenced" -- or at all) is rarely indicative of notability. I found some sources to validate some of the unsourced content and will see if there are more later.

American experimental band. They have a funny name in my opinion. But I'm afraid they are not notable for WP. The article is sourced to Myspace (not a RS) and an article about them which looks great, but this article is published in a San Jose magazine called Metro (Gas Chamber Orchestra is from San Jose) so it is not independent / just because a local paper covered them does not mean they are notable. I did a Google search, first without quotation marks and there were very few results about the band (or orchestra), most of the results were about gas chambers. Then I did a google search with quotation marks, now there are sites that are about the band - but unfortunately facebook, Amazon, RateYourMusic, Youtube videos, Bandcamp and all this crap. There is also a lyrics site, lots and lots of namechecks, trivial mentions, WP mirrors and stuff where the words are separated. None of these satisfy WP:RS. Neither of these are reliable. How this article managed to stay here since 2006 is beyond me - but I think I already said this several times.

Delete: A band project by 4 music students, only one of whose subsequent activity is marked by an article here. I don't see the local preview coverage of their 1998 concert or anything found in searches as sufficient to demonstrate that notability was attained.

American band (actually, duo). The article does not contain any sources at all, just an MP3 download site (and there is a warning that the link is forbidden). Great, huh? It gets better. Google search did not turn up much better (same old, same old: databases, social media pages, retail sites, stuff where the words are separated since they have a really common name, concert sites, yadda yadda yadda). Btw they are not even from Montana, just like Hannah Montana. :) (Sorry, I had to crack this joke.) Unlike Hannah Montana, they are not notable for WP though. Back to topic: The article has been sitting here since 2007 (!) with a primary sources tag on it since that year. Actually there are no sources in the article (an Mp3 download site that is not even available?! Come on!) But anyways, this is just another case of me scratching my head and wondering how an article like this can stay here for such a long time.

Comment I found coverage in the South Bend Tribune, Al.com, and a newspaper out of Knoxville. They all include concert announcements, but there's some decent prose about the band in them. [www.southbendtribune.com/entertainment/inthebend/eventnews/montana-skies-create-new-dawn-for-music/article_e9a5fbaa-fced-11e2-af8f-001a4bcf6878.amp.html] [www.al.com/entertainment-times/2011/11/montana_skies_to_bring_cello_g.html], [1].

Fails WP:SOLDIER. I'm not convinced that having a street named after you in a suburb of 4,000 people makes you notable, either. Lettlerhello 18:12, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I am not convinced any Afd should be constrained to a specific guideline, when the interaction in an Australian community between historic legacy and the context military service can be such a fraught issue. As to the 'size' of a community as a reflection as to the context of an individual in the community in the 'colonies' (as any British reader might understand), is a total furphy - the legacy and reputation of individuals was and is a much more complex cultural phenomenon in the community, and I for one would never put a google count or other count as a means of evaluating a persons reputation, or lack of../. JarrahTree 01:55, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I think having a street named after you is actually a pretty good indicator of notability, regardless of the population of the area (in fact, maybe even more so if it's a smaller place, because there would generally be fewer streets to name!). As for his military notability, I agree that it's probably not enough on it's own, but in conjunction with working for both the Tramways and local government (about which there's more to be added to the article), I'd say Howell is definitely notable in a Western Australian context. The docs say that deletion is "for articles which cannot be improved", and I don't think that's the case here. —SamWilson 02:10, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - on closer look this AFd (in my understanding of suffering them for over 10 years), is complete furphy - the involvement in local government in the Fremantle community in a public position is in itself a sufficient.

Delete MM recipients cannot be assumed to have received sufficient coverage in reliable sources to establish notability, and no such coverage is evident here with the subject's military service being cited almost entirely to primary sources. Having a street named after you is no indicator of notability either - property developers used to name streets after anything they felt like in some parts of Australia, including their family and friends. All up, there's nothing in the article at present which indicates WP:BIO is met, and no additional sources have been identified in the discussion above.

Delete. No WP:SIGCOV. The Military Medal article states over 100,000 were awarded, not everyone can have an article here, I'm sure there are plenty of military databases (including wikis) that can or already do provide coverage. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 12:44, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails SIGCOV, SOLDIER. Heck, there was a recent AfD where the keep vote hinged on a bridge being named after the subject, but in the (small) city where I live, there are bridges named after city councilors, a long-vanished United Spanish War Veterans post, and a 19 year old private who stepped on a land mine three weeks in country in Vietnam. In any event, there is no notability standard on Wikipedia for having a street named after you. Ravenswing 16:15, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this person fails SIGCOV and SOLDIER. Having a street or whatever named after them isn't enough for notability. So, I see no guideline based reason to have an article about the person. --Adamant1 (talk) 13:40, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The subject does not meet inclusion or notability guidelines. WP:INDISCRIMINATE: "As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia." The article makes no claim to anything that would be notable. Fails the WP:SIGCOV portion of WP:GNG: the sources do not discuss the subject in depth. Same for WP:BASIC.

Weak delete. This one is tough for me. I was prepared to !vote straightforwardly to delete, until I saw this book, which looks like an RS to me (to the extent any work on magic can be an RS). There's some fairly detailed critical commentary on Weibel's "Annotated Bibliography of Conjuring Psychology" there—which made me think about WP:NAUTHOR as a criterion. This was the only source I could find where Weibel's work is discussed, however, hence my still being in the delete column. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 16:22, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete: I'm not seeing a whole lot of coverage out there. AleatoryPonderings's source would be persuasive, if there was anything else by the way of sigcov I could see; I'm not just going to take one (NN) author's word for the subject's importance. Ravenswing 23:54, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete I agree with the other weak delete reasons. One source is good, but not enough to satisfy the notability guidelines. Unfortunately, the few brief mentions he seems to have in other stuff seems like notability weak sauce. That said, I think it would be fine to delete it with the ability for it be recreated when or if another in-depth source materializes at some point. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:58, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep : Lightburst sums up my feelings. He does seem to meet WP:ANYBIO. His magazine writing seems to indicate he has importance in his field. He has brief mentions in multiple RS and [WP:BASIC]] states "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" He may pass WP:NAUTHOR, "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." Under WP:BIO, " "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded"; I think he meets this. The article is certainly notable for being the first one where I vote "Keep" and AleatoryPonderings votes "Delete" ;) // Timothy :: talk 21:31, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested prod. This person is supposed to be a prince, but he was born long after Germany became a republic and nobility there was abolished. It has been suggested that he is notable because of his missionary work. However he is only a prior, a rather junior post in the Roman Catholic hierarchy, I suggest that to be inherently notable you would have to hold some pretty senior post like Superior General of the Society of Jesus. PatGallacher (talk) 14:41, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The rationale for deletion is, if I may say so, irrelevant to assessing notability. It’s coverage in reliable sources we are interested in, what can the nominator tell us about this? A quick search shows there are articles about him in Yahoo News, Münchner Merkur, Abendzeitung. Are we saying he is not notable because of what’s in the sources, or because of his junior royal and religious positions, or both? - dwc lr (talk) 17:36, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep In addition to the above sources covering him, he has also been the subject of a 45 minute tv documentary ‘Pater Florian von Bayern – Die ungewöhnliche Mission des Wittelsbacher Prinzen’ so as I’m unsure on the grounds we are saying he lacks notability I’ll go with a keep. - dwc lr (talk) 13:06, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
delete There's nothing about his actual position that is notable, and his membership in a family of defunct nobility is especially irrelevant considering that he is (one presumes) celibate and likely to remain so.

Keep, but needs work. As a published author and missionary who has been written about in various news media, I think he is notable enough. Referencing is terrible for a BLP, though. Some possible sources: [5][6][7]. I think the article should not dwell too much on "royalty" and maybe use an infobox more suitable for monks / priests, though. —Kusma (t·c) 22:46, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm struggling when I look both at this article and its references to see why this person has genuine notability. Models are ten a penny.

Keep Truth be told I tried to get this thing nuked while it was still even a draft (and I got yelled at for that). But. Take out the “she’s Leonardo DiCaprio’s best girl” aspect (et tu, Vogue?), take the modeling accomplishments that just barely get her on board such as the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Maxim, or L’Oreal, the fact reminds that she has enough significant coverage in both Germany and America that pay attention to her career just a bit more than her Hollywood exploits.

Delete Examining the cited sources: bbarta24, The Sangbad, and Daily Amar Sangbad are three regurgitations of a publicity release. English-language versions can be read, by those with strong stomachs, at [8] and [9]. Dhaka18 and Bangi News are passing mentions of the title in a list of an actress' work and a list of upcoming dramas. Searches of the usual types found no significant coverage in independent sources. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of TV production data. To provide encyclopedic value, Wikipedia puts data in context with explanations referenced to independent sources.

Keep - Mentioned in many reliable sources, including an analysis of the era in Baltimore Sun: [12], a mention on ESPN: [13], a mention on NBC: [14], an in-depth discussion in the Denver Post: [15], and an in-depth discussion on the era in a book from Indiana University Press: [16]. While some of the information may be repeated in the History of WWE article, these sources certainly show potential for expansion. Per WP:NOTIMELIMIT, deleting the article would not be appropriate, as the article should not be judged just on current state, but on future potential. Per WP:IDONTLIKEIT, editors stating their reasons as the era was too short or not as important as other eras are citing personal opinions, which hold no weight against WP:GNG, which is clearly met with the sources mentioned here.

Comment I have finished my editing and improvement of this page for now. If anyone wants to clean it up to look a little better, by all means. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.72.173 (talk) 21:36, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - After taking GaryColemanFan's points into accounts, considering how popular Daniel Bryan was back in 2014, how his WM 30 victory was reported in famous news papers all over the world, how WM 32 crossed 100,000 + attendance figure the highest in WWE history, I am voting keep, although I will be fine with whatever the majority decides, if it gets deleted I have no problem, but considering articles like Persona and reception of Roman Reigns are allowed (which appears to be nothing but a hate fiction and should be merged with the actual wrestler), I don't see how this article is more offensive than WP:NPOV and WP:OR breaking articles like those, that have been kept. Dilbaggg (talk) 00:08, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems to be a very much talked about and referenced era with quite a few notable things taking place including the rise Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns, both of which were covered by big news outlets at the time, especially Bryan. 68.196.72.173 (talk) 01:41, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Czello. A duplication of the History of WWE. Also, it's a time period too short. 33 sources, but just 5 of them mentions the Reality Era and the 5 sources are unreliable. The era exist, but there is not enough coverage for an independent article. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 19:25, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I have added three of the sources I mentioned above (Denver Post, Baltimore Sun, and the book from Indiana University Press). I feel that the discussions in these sources could help develop this article, so I hope that placing them in the article itself will help this page reach its potential. I also believe that the article now meets GNG, not only in potential but in execution, as these sources discuss the era in enough detail to meet notability guidelines.

It looks like it's time to wrap this up. Most of the concerns have been addressed, as multiple in-depth reliable secondary sources have been added since the delete votes were cast. Other concerns (e.g. the minimum length of time to be considered an "era") are not tied to notability. Can an administrator please take a look at this and do more than a simple vote count?

I still see many problems with the article. As I said on the Wikiproject talk page, the Reality Era hasn't enough coverage. Some articles say the Reañity Era exist, but it's too soon for a coverage like Attitude or Ruthless Eras. The article just focuses on the storylines (Daniel Bryan and The Shield), but not about WWE as company. The "notable events" are WP:OR. There is any source about Taker vs Wyatt as a notable event for the Reality Era? There are sources, for example, the Hardys/E&C/Dudleys as a notable part of the Attitude Era. Also, my major problem is the "end". The Reality Era ended jsut because WWE said so, failing into WP:PUBLICITY. We are just repeating what WWE said, but I don't see many sources following the "Reality Era ended in 2016", just a few exceptions following what WWE said. My point, there are not enought coverage of the Reality Era (the era, not the events during the era) for a independent article since the era hasn't been covered yet. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:18, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Agree completely. Notability still hasn't been established. None of the sources detail why the Reality Era was notable in its own right, or what part it played in pro wrestling history. The article seems to simply be a history lesson. — Czello 12:08, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not established in the Wikipedia article, or not established in the sources provided? There's a huge difference. The Wikipedia article definitely needs work, but that's not part of the criteria for WP:N. The sources provided discuss the era in detail, which is what matters for this discussion. Your comments are all focused on specific statements in the Wikipedia article, which shows a lack of understanding of AfDs altogether. GaryColemanFan (talk) 15:10, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The sources do detail the era itself, but I can't see which ones establish why it's notable to the point of it having its own article. — Czello 16:43, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just to point out about notability, who are Wikipedia editors to decide notability?WP:OR isn't allowed, if WP:RS considers it notable, than it is. There are plenty of WP:RS which notes the significance of what happened during this particular period. The article has also been improved from its old status. And this article is far significant following WP:RS, WP:NPOV and WP:NOR guidelines than the hate fiction in the name of an article that is Persona and reception of Roman Reigns. The existence of which has been questioned numerous times, and here is how it survived deletion and the grounds for keeping it:
Delete
If it exists in such details, s should that of Lex Luger, John Cena, Stone Cold, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart and LOTS of others. I think it's stupidity to keep and doesn't seem neutral. ImmortalWizard(chat) 12:39, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
See WP:OTHERSTUFF. We could and should have articles on a bunch of similar subjects... on a personal level, Cena killed my interest in WWE over a decade ago, and I know I'm not the only one who stopped watching around that time. We could have similar articles on everyone from Big Daddy to Mil Mascaras to Triple H, it's just a matter of getting editors together to make such an article and getting the sources to do it. Both are harder to do with historic subjects; the exception here was that this was written as the push was occurring, so fan interest was at its peak and sources were fresh and easy to find. I'll note that this article has survived an AfD, merge request and a similar RfC.LM2000 (talk) 10:09, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
Unlike that article The Reality Era is a well sourced material that has notability within the scopes of WP:Rs. Deleting it just because a bunch editors feel like its not notable is a pure WP:NOR violation. And a few of those voted delete only saw the premature version, the article is far more improved now complying with Wikipedia guidelines and well structured. The rest of my point why it should be kept is already highlighted in my previous keep comment. Thats all I have to say. Dilbaggg (talk) 23:28, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Can you point out which sources you believe establish notability to the point of this being its own article? No one here is arbitrarily deciding it doesn't have notability, we're saying the sources don't establish why it's important. — Czello 07:30, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
[17] just to name one of many non primary sources listing its significance. not to mention Cena dominated WWE from 2005-2013, fans had been voicing the displeasure and with the rise of Daniel Bryan fans technically triggered the era leading to WM 30, WM 32 disputed 100,000 attendance the highest in WWE and any North American wrestling history and so on. Regardless this article is far more relevant, neutral, well sourced and wikipedia standard than the Reigns hate fiction article which I mentioned above, but has been kept regardless. Dilbaggg (talk) 12:25, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This article seems to be largely repeating Daniel Bryan's own opinion on the Reality Era. It doesn't seem to be establishing the era's significance in a way that doesn't come from WWE's own voice. — Czello 12:29, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As I've stated repeatedly, the Denver Post and Baltimore Sun articles, along with the book from Indiana University Press establish notability. Notability is established according to WP:GNG. If, as you said, the multiple reliable secondary sources "detail the era itself," notability is established. When notability is established, a separate article is warranted. Please, please read WP:GNG. GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:21, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Why in the world would we need more sources about the "End" of the era when WWE themselves, a source that should trump anything else, stated it themselves in May 2016?
because thats WP:publicity, just repeat what wwe says. WWE wants to promote a huge change and a new era, it doesnt mean a new era is real. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 20:02, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
-HHH Pedrigree I see some biasedness against WWE from you, please remember WP:NPOV, just naming certain periods into specific era isn't a publicity violation. Also last time WWE named a new era was in 2016, a long time passed (attitude era only lasted 4 years, new era has already surpassed that length). WWE behaves differently, like in the Reality Era it revolved around Daniel Bryan the New Era is about the new brand extension and the women's evolution. The reality era in 2014 is not something WWE wanted to enter they never wanted to push Daniel Bryan but fans forced them to it so that further erases the publicity issue, as it was an era WWE only entered because they were forced to. Also remember WP:NOR it is not for editors to decide, not just wwe but secondary sources WP:RS also names those eras and these sources have been listed on the articles. Various non WWE sources cites those eras, so they are notable. Dilbaggg (talk) 23:02, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
im not against WWE, but against a WWE centric-pedia and Wikipedia as WWE speaker. WWE wanted to promote a "new era", but not many secondary sources agree with this. Also, several points are similar with the RE (bryan, Lesnar, Rollins, Ambrose and Reigns) and the most important point, the blur between fiction and reality. Again, WP:publicity. HHH Pedrigree (talk) 23:43, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I respect your views, but I disagree with publicity like I said the reality era was something WWE never wanted but the fans, the yes movement forced them to accept the rise of Bryan in 2014, Austin, HHH, Rock debuted on new generation era, but they became big stars in Attitude Era, it never says that wrestlers cannot be in more than one era. Also there are plenty of sufficient non WWE RS that supports the reality era, as anyone who checks the article can see, and there are a lot more that are there but need not be included as there are already sufficient of them. Dilbaggg (talk) 23:56, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I never said the Reality Era doesn't exist. Several Sources agree that the Reality Era exist. But is different from WWE saying "The reality Era ends in 2016 just because we want". --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 10:01, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
HHH Pedrigree WWE started to operate in a different way in 2016, Daniel Bryan was no longer the top huy which he was in Realty Era, WWE brought back the brand extension long after 2002 (last time it was the 2002 brand extension that started the Ruthless Aggression Era), and most of all since 2016 the women's evolution, rise of Becky and Charlotte is going on. In Reality Era women were still called divas, now its the womens division. Womens matches have more spotlight and are main events. There are also many non WWE sources that states 2016 as the start of the "New" Era, and since then it is ongoing, it is already longer than the 3 years 1993-1997's "New Generation Era". There are many non WWE RS like this, that clearly says new era begun in 2016: [18]. Anyway the main topic is not when the Reality era ended, but whether the article stays or gets deleted. Dilbaggg (talk) 10:20, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@HHHPedigree, because WWE wants to promote and change to a new era that doesn't mean it's real? So what constitutes as real for a new WWE era? A dirt sheet site reporting on it? Lol.

NN company, fails WP:CORP. There's coverage in strictly local sources, but this fails WP:AUD for lacking significant coverage in reliable sources outside the DC area. Notability tagged for over a decade. Created by a SPA for whom this was the sole Wikipedia activity.
Deprodded with the breathtaking rationale of "I mainly recalled being taken to a bagel shop in Brick Lane by Edward after an all-night editathon.

Keep The topic is notable as there's plenty of coverage in numerous sources. These tend to highlight the fact that the bagels are properly boiled and so this makes it better than most other bagel places. The current proprietor seems to be getting quite a lot of coverage because she's written a book about her experiences. And there's coverage of the place's history too such as this article from the 1980s, which has lots of nice crunchy facts, detailing the finances, numbers and equipment used to make their good bagels.

Comment: Splendid. Now, perhaps you folks can take a look at WP:AUD, which this article must satisfy: "Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary." What NON-DC area reliable source providing substantive coverage do either of you claim exists? Ravenswing 06:17, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The DC area is a region. It spans several states – the business in question is in Maryland. Its population is over six million which makes it larger than most countries in the world – bigger than Denmark and New Zealand, say. Sources such as the Washington Post are effectively international because here I am in London, on the other side of the Atlantic, and I regular read and refer to it. The business is also covered in works such as Fodor's which are distributed internationally too. Note also that there's no "must" about WP:AUD because it says plainly that exceptions apply and so it is not mandatory. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:03, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:NOTPROMO. The best bagels in Washington, according to local Washington newspapers? There is no coverage outside the DC area (as far as I know), and that is what makes it local coverage. WaPo is actually a national source, but when it's covering stuff in DC, it's a local source. This article, even in its expanded form, is nothing other than an advertisement for a bagel shop. Levivich[dubious – discuss] 17:24, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In reviewing the sources, I see now that the Washington Post never said it had the best bagels. In fact, WaPo barely covers it at all, outside of the 1981 opening [19]. Here's a more recent 2014 WaPo story about bagelries, and the headline is "Bullfrog Bagels, Bagel City and Bethesda Bagel are some of D.C.’s finest" [20]. (Should we turn those red links blue? No, of course not.) The Washingtonian Magazine also never called it "the best". In fact, it only rated it "not bad" [21], in 2006.

Keep: The Washington Post article is excellent coverage, but if you need coverage outside the DC area, then I think the coverage of Adler's book about the business does the trick. I think the above scuffle about whether the bagels are "the best" or "not bad" is irrelevant; notability is not determined by tasting the subject's food. — Toughpigs (talk) 21:43, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Mary Adler is the owner. Her book can't contribute to notability, as it's not independent, and thus doesn't satisfy WP:GNG. There is no coverage outside DC.

Delete Utter spam. The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "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. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Reader's polls on "best bagel" are mentions-in-passing and fail WP:CORPDEPTH. Someone mentioned above that the coverage about the owner's book but misses the point that none of the information is therefore Independent Content and fails WP:ORGIND. Topic fails GNG/WP:NCORP.

Keep. I see no reason to discount the Washington Post as a "local" source. If a Topeka business were covered in a Kansas statewide paper, then it would clearly meet the definition of "regional" in WP:AUD. I don't see why coverage of an area with a population of over 6 million should be inferior to coverage of an area with a population of less than 3 million, so IMO the Washington Post is a regional source for the DC metropolitan area (a region). That source, along with the local coverage in WTOP, combine to constitute significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, at least one of which is more than local. I am sympathetic to DGG's point about "a directory or every restaurant in a city with a major newspaper", but likewise we can ask: Do we want to be a directory of every restaurant in a small state with a statewide paper? Currently, WP:AUD says yes, and to go against it would either be a WP:LOCALCONSENSUS, or require believing that the media market of a major metropolitan area is not as important as the media market of a small state. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:32, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fails both the WP:GNG and WP:NSPORTS guidelines. Attempts to comply with WP:BEFORE demonstrate that the only sources on this person are to either generic database entries (e.g., transfrmrkt), social media, (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) or roster pages (e.g., University of Tulsa, SoccerSTL). There are actually zero GNEWS hits. There is no evidence in the article or in searches that this person has played in a fully-professional league. Their professional career has so far been limited to the National Premier Soccer League, a semi-professional league. Of the 7 references given, 4 do not mention the player at all, 1 is a high school sports box score from the local paper, 1 is a signing announcement, and 1 a very short article from his alma mater.

Further Analysis In the spirit of full disclosure, I am updating the nom with some more analysis. If you don't care about soccer/football organizational politics, feel free to skip this. I have received off-wiki communication claiming that Tony Doellefeld does qualify under NFOOTY because the Milwaukee Torrent are part of the NPSL Founders Cup and therefore a FPL. The NPSL Founders Cup was an attempt to create a professional subdivision within the NPSL that ran into great difficulty and was abandoned in favor of the NPSL Members Cup that Keskkonnakaitse mentions above. The Members Cup is overseen by the United States Adult Soccer Association, a sanctioning body for amateur soccer. This does not change the original analysis but does explain why there was a reference or two to Doellefeld signing a professional contract. TL;DR version: Doellefeld still never has played for a FPL, but there was reason at one point for him to think he was going to. Apologies for any confusion.

Keep A mediocre Turkish news website just like Yeniçağ, BirGün and Vatan. It seems logical to not find any sources other than the website itself, which website is going to advertise its competitor? ~Styyx(talk) 10:15, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I’m not entirely sure why my opinion was sought here, but I neither have any expertise in this matter, nor do I read Turkish, in which language I would guess most possible sources would be listed. I am at this point at least going to remain neutral on the deletion, but I would suggest the article creator try to find additional references to show notability of the site. I did look at the French and Turkish articles to see if either could serve for expansion or providing additional references, but it does not appear that way (and each language wiki has its own notability requirements). One possible solution would be to move the article to draft space for further development. LadyofShalott 18:57, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A previous article on this singer was deleted two months ago, after a robust discussion of the true meaning of reliable sources and the notability requirements for musicians, with some misunderstandings from supporters. The article was then recreated with an attempt at additional sources, by the same user who created the last one, and this person continues to miss the significance of the WP guidelines. The new addition this time is news about a petition that she signed, but in the Persian-language sources used as verification, she is only listed briefly among many other signers. Otherwise this version of the article is dependent on typical industry listings with no verification for statements on her popularity and influence. Nothing else can be found under either the Persian or English spellings of her name beyond what was in the previous version. Salting may also be necessary. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:22, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Undelete Hello, Ava Bahram is famous in the Iranian community inside and outside the country. Unfortunately, female artists in Iran after the Islamic Revolution are censored in newspapers, magazines and other domestic media due to censorship and restrictions imposed by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and for this reason they emigrate from Iran. And their only media is satellite TV channels and social media outside of Iran. Also 3 of Ava Bahram's songs with the letters "Roozhaye Tanhaei", "Agooshe To" and "Gol ya Pooch" have been broadcasted in the Gem TV channels in the 3 years and got a megahit. please Attention considering that by Islamic laws it is forbidden for female singers to broadcast their voices on the national television of the Islamic Republic of Iran , and in this regard their songs have been broadcasted on Gem TV channels and others Persian-language satellite TV channels, such as PMC, Radio Javan, and others. so there are good reasons. I researched this in the case of other Iranian female singer who also have an article. There are two reputable sources, one is the interview and performance of Ava Bahram on BBC TV and the other is the interview and live performance of Ava Bahram on Manoto TV. Of course, I tried to insert the link of websites for you here, but unfortunately it was not possible, But with the same titles are available in YouTube . Because she has migrated outside of Iran due to the ban on women's singing in the Islamic Republic of Iran, she is merely the only sources available on radio and television and reputable websites outside of Iran to cover their activities.
Repeat from Previous Deletion Discussion - There have been several recent AfDs for Iranian entertainers (musicians, models, etc.) in which supporters are making the argument that we see here. Per that argument, the entertainers have no media coverage in their home country because of government repression, and therefore the entertainers are little-known in the rest of the world too. I have no doubt that this is happening and it is certainly unfortunate, but that is a problem that is much bigger than Wikipedia, and Wikipedia is not equipped to fix it. The larger problem could be discussed at Censorship in Iran, among other possibilities, but helping to promote unlucky entertainers is not one of Wikipedia's functions. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 00:54, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree with you. I am glad that you are so in control of the existing rules and restrictions for artists and journalists in Iran. Unfortunately, these restrictions are especially for Iranian female singers because the voice of women is forbidden in Islam. The point of my argument is that in this particular case, Wikipedia policies and guidelines should not be strict in order to gain the recognition of Iranian female artists.Gimbouri (talk) 17:02, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You have requested a change to Wikipedia policy, which must take place somewhere else. This discussion is about the notability of Ava Bahram, and therefore her eligibility for Wikipedia, which still has not been demonstrated by you or anyone else. For larger policy changes, see Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:42, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to Admins - To any admin reading this, please note that all of the keep votes in this and the previous AfD have said little beyond claiming that the singer is famous, without acknowledgement of the Wikipedia policies cited by the nominators and other voters. Also, the two other users in this AfD have done little else in Wikipedia beyond adding to Ava Bahram's article or commenting on her AfDs. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 17:06, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

keep Considering the large number of broadcasts of song Roozhaye Tanhaei(the title track of the Turkish serial Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne?), on the TV channels of the largest Persian-language television network (gem TV), it can be said that Ava Bahram's public fame is achieved and it's In accordance with policies and guidelines (articles No: 11 and 12 of WP:MUSICBIO). Gimbouri (talk) 21:45, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Gimbouri has now voted twice, which is not allowed; that user and Pocoyo4858 have made claims of notability with no evidence except for claiming that they saw the singer on TV. Both made the exact same arguments multiple times with the exact same lack of evidence in the first AfD for this singer. Both are just pointing at policies. I have nothing against Ava Bahram and wish her luck, but she doesn't get into Wikipedia because someone thinks she's unlucky. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:00, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yours sincerely, You claim that Ava Bahram is not well known, but here the issue of Ava Bahram's reputation is evaluated solely on the basis of Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I think this is not a question of the number of votes, but a place for analysis and consultation at all. Unfortunately, a great artist like Ava Bahram has somehow fallen victim to a dictatorial regime and has been forced to emigrate due to censorship and a ban on expressing her art. My information about her knowledge of reading the information available from her is limited to existing websites and especially listening to her works of art. I wish you were familiar with the Persian language and enjoyed their meaningful, rich and artistic songs. I have seen many comments on social media that a large number of frustrated and depressed Persian-speaking women and youth have come to life hopefully after hearing Ava Bahram's songs. This is not my personal opinion. It may be meaningless for you, who probably do not live in the Third World and have not experienced the psychological pressures of dictatorial regimes. Regards Gimbouri (talk) 21:11, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I really wish someone else would help me stand up for all of English Wikipedia here. Final Comment: The article's supporter has resorted to begging for sympathy, yet another ploy that is not supported by Wikipedia policy. Perhaps someone will notice. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:28, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
comment to admins As a Wikipedia editor, I first and foremost believe in Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and I am not willing to violate my beliefs just by submitting an article. In all my comments in defense of Ava Bahram's article, I link my reasons to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. In this particular article, for the information of users and administrators, I must mention the limitations that I had during the collection of article information. I have said very clearly and simply that in the society under study, there were restrictions such as information and news censorship compulsorily for the news support of Ava Bahram and female artists in general. Certainly where, despite the dictatorship, the prohibition of women singing, and censorship, all of which have led to the emigration of the subject matter from the homeland, one has to be a little more flexible in adapting resources to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. And this demand should not be called as begging the author of the article. Before emigrating, Ava Bahram sent a critical and open letter to the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran asking for the government's support for her activities, but unfortunately, instead of supporting her, she was summoned to court for her singing and music skills and in accordance with Islamic law. She has been convicted and harassed. Regards Gimbouri (talk) 18:01, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I feel very sorry for her but unfortunately she is (still) not notable for Wikipedia. The policy of Wikipedia is to have reliable, secondary sources which are absent here. I also did a Google search and couldn't find anything besides the standard social media pages, streaming service entries, lyrics sites, retail sites and blogs. None of them establish any notability. I don't read or speak Persian but I also did a Google search with her native name and the sources were basically the same except in Iranian/Persian. And the users above (with the exception of Doomsdayer of course) did little more than commenting on this singer's AFD and editing her article. These users (I actually have a suspicion that "these users" are just one user using sockpuppets which is not allowed on Wikipedia - so for that reason I am going to address him as just "user"). So, this user has tried to convince the participants of this (and the previous) AfD about the importance of Ava Bahram, stating stuff like "she is very popular in Iran" and "she has a megahit" but he did not provide any sources to these statements. Without reliable sources, there is no WP article. Streaming service links, social media pages, lyrics sites, blogs and databases are not reliable. I feel very sorry about the fact that she is oppressed in Iran, that is horrible, but as of now she is not notable for WP inclusion. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 16:02, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete GhostDestroyer100 makes an excellent case for why. I'd also add that trying to give her a notability pass because she comes from Iran and they have strict controls on the media etc etc etc "blah blah blah or whatever" is sort of the soft bigotry of low exceptions. There's plenty of articles about notability people from Iran. Including women. So, she shouldn't get a special pass simply because of where she comes from. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:22, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did. To show I have, I have tagged a contentious claim in the article with a ((fact)) tag. Again, WP:BLPSOURCES says that this information should not be tagged, it should be removed. Ritchie333(talk)(cont) 20:22, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, Ava Bahram has the conditions to have an article, and I tried to register her name in Wikipedia on the birthday of this great and oppressed Iranian artist. But apparently for some users, this recognition has not been achieved. Unfortunately for some great artists, this is becoming a way to be known later in life. There have been many people in history who have been known for years after their lives.Gimbouri (talk) 07:59, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Just doesn't meet the GNG or WP:BIO. To quote myself from a 2010 AfD, "There is a school of thought circulating around Wikipedia that if there is some putative excuse for reliable sources not to be found on a particular subject, the requirements of WP:V, WP:RS, WP:GNG and/or WP:BIO are suspended. This curious notion has no basis in policy or guideline." The only acceptable response to the suggestion that this article lacks adequate sourcing because the lives of Iranian women are out of the public eye is "Then a Wikipedia article on her cannot be sustained."

The article is poorly written and has no reliable third party sources covering it. Wiki is better off with stub quality articles like these. There seems to be no improvement even when the article was reinstated with sources. U1quattroTALK 15:59, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I've added a few sources to the article[23] which IMHO are sufficient, There are also a whole ton more on Google News[24] which I'll add in due course, The article needs work however that's not a reason to delete, Clearly a notable subject. Meets GNG. –Davey2010Talk 16:06, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep – searching for coverage in Japanese does seem to turn up some seemingly significant and reliable coverage, such as [25]. I was able to find some English-language coverage as well ([26], [27]), and there seems to be a fair amount in Indonesian (although I'm unclear on its reliability or depth). That having been said, I do want to note that the sources currently cited in the article, as well as its linked article in Japanese, are largely not independent, and I don't think that those sources establish GNG on their own. signed, Rosguilltalk 01:05, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I was waffling between 'weak keep' and 'keep' here. Most of the sourcing is from primary sources, but there are a couple in there that are secondary. While Truck and Driver may not be wholly objective about the truck, I think there is enough there to establish GNG. We may be stymied by the lack of English coverage, but the Japanese sources indicate that there is significant coverage out there to warrant an article.

A huge, huge list of characters from the franchise The Animals of Farthing Wood, from the books and an animated series. Everything is completely in-universe and just retells the events from the characters' point of view. There is no actual encyclopedic information, i.e., creation, development, reception, cultural impact. There isn't a single reference. Suitable for a wikiaFandom page, not Wikipedia. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 15:23, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Both the TV series and book series articles just point to this list, so we’d be merging at a minimum. See WP:ATD, which should have been considered WP:BEFORE attempting deletion. You don’t need permission to merge and redirect. postdlf (talk) 16:41, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The information about the animals is quite encyclopedic as it's likely to be what most readers want. And there's plenty of production information too such as first/last appearance and which media the character appeared in. As there's at least 8 pages about the various books and TV productions, it makes sense to have a list of characters like this as a common appendix, otherwise the information will be repeated in each of those articles. As for Fandom, that's a rival, profit-making concern which exists to exploit volunteer effort to sell advertising. Why does the nominator want to promote that? Do they have shares in it? Andrew🐉(talk) 16:47, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If the TV series just shared the characters with the book series, it can link back to that article if this is merged there. So long as the character descriptions are somewhere, as that is a necessary part of our coverage of a notable series or franchise. These character list AFDs always neglect to consider that and instead pick apart the page in isolation. Really a waste of our time. postdlf (talk) 17:04, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That is not encyclopedic information in the slightest, Andrew Davidson. There is no actual coverage about the characters beyond in-universe material. Wikipedia is written for the general reader, not for people wanting to find out what the first or last appearance is of a particular fictional character in a particular work of fiction.

This throne has been defunct since 1918. WP:DEL-REASON 6: Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes). It is impossible to attribute the current line of succession to this throne to WP:RELIABLE sources, because there is no current line of succession, because monarchy doesn't exist anymore. See also WP:NOTGENEALOGY. There are also WP:BLP concerns about the people who are listed here, including three minors.
So basically, the same reasons as the previous 20 lines of successions to defunct thrones that have been deleted recently (1234567891011121314151617181920). TompaDompa (talk) 14:47, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete For all the reasons stated above. Also the question of whether some people are ruled out because of morganatic marriages is the sort of dispute which we should avoid getting into.

Tell me, who succeeded Wilhelm II as German Emperor when he died? That's right, nobody did. The line of succession is not of "less significance in 2020", it was already of no significance at all in 1941 (and frankly, in 1919). This article is a bunch of nonsense for the same reason it's a nonsense question to ask who succeeded the Presidency of Woodrow Wilson when he died in 1924, and especially to ask who is next in line to the Woodrow Wilson presidency today (which is the equivalent of Line of succession to the former German throne#Present line of succession).

Delete. I struggle to see how this article could be reliably, independently sourced, especially without using OR. A line of succession should by itself be notable and reported on in whole: taking disparate sources (e.g. birth announcements) and integrating them into a novel list via your interpretation of agnatic succession is blatant synthesis and OR. For this to be a workable article there would need to be third-party RS discussing the current line of succession--using those terms--that contain all the entries and their positions.

Delete as should have been done ages ago. I presume that the claimed line of succession is based on the laws that existed immediately prior to the abolishment of this position. Who's to say that these precise rules would have persisted even if the position did? Even the UK, which has the reputation of being very conservative when it comes to the monarchy, has changed the rules at least twice in the last century (to exclude Edward VIII and any potential descendants and recently to grant equality of the sexes when it comes to succession). This is simply make-believe. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:58, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I agree that the "Present line of succession" section is problematic, as it represents pure speculation. Even if someone does manage to dig up a source which makes the same speculation I don't think it would be encyclopedic. However this argument doesn't apply to coverage of the line of succession to the actual German throne before its abolition, and this can be an encyclopedic topic, e.g. Succession to the British throne spends a large amount of time discussing historical succession. I think it's reasonable to delete this article though as that's not its intended scope. Hut 8.5 09:56, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Line of succession to the former Bavarian throne[edit]
This throne has been defunct since 1918. WP:DEL-REASON 6: Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes). It is impossible to attribute the current line of succession to this throne to WP:RELIABLE sources, because there is no current line of succession, because the Kingdom itself doesn't even exist anymore. See also WP:NOTGENEALOGY. There are also WP:BLP concerns about the people who are listed here.
So basically, the same reasons as the previous 20 lines of successions to defunct thrones that have been deleted recently (1234567891011121314151617181920). TompaDompa (talk) 14:46, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete For all the reasons stated above, and the line of succession in 1918, although it might be possible to find an obscure source somewhere, is now trivial. PatGallacher (talk) 14:49, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keepor Merge with Rulers of Bavaria or House of Wittelsbach. As far as I can tell there are Reliable Sources within this article. The House of Wittelsbach still exists, it has a head of the House which is not some randomly decided position but one which is determined by a succession law. So what if the Kingdom does not exist? How did one become King when it did (hence the list of rulers may be a suitable merge target)? If the Spanish monarchy gets abolished today does that succession article get deleted the day after then? Or does it suddenly become unsuitable after a year, or 2 or 50. I would say it would always be of relevance to have an article covering the topic, same with Baden and others that have been deleted. -dwc lr (talk) 17:17, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Basically, yes, if Spain became a republic tomorrow then any alleged line of succession to the throne would probably immediately become unencyclopedic, although we might still have articles on notable pretenders. Generally speaking, on Wikipedia we do not attempt to interpret succession laws ourselves, as this often means getting into original research. I would however put the opposite case: how long should we retain articles on royal families which were overthrown, should we do so indefinitely? PatGallacher (talk) 17:57, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The succession topics retain historic and even continuing (as the Royal Houses remain non reigning) significance. I don’t see any interpreting of succession laws just the reporting of facts. I’ve no idea what articles on deposed Royal families you are implying should be deleted? Maybe we should delete articles on defunct companies, businesses which become less and less relevant and of significance with each passing day. If a topic is notable the aim should be to cover it, whether it’s primary significance is from the present or in the past should not matter. - dwc lr (talk) 18:45, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Would you likewise be in favour of an article about the United States presidential line of succession during the Presidency of Woodrow Wilson? Because that's a more apt comparison – a line of succession that hasn't been in effect for approximately a century. Would you be in favour of an article about who would be next in line to the Woodrow Wilson presidency today? Because that is analogous to what this article purports to show, since it contains the "Current Line of Succession" (even though no such thing exists). TompaDompa (talk) 18:54, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t see much difference between that article or this in terms of the line of succession. There the succession is based on a post, here it’s a position placed on descent (available in Reliable Sources), I don’t see a reference explicitly saying William Barr is No. 7 in the US Presidential one. I would be in favour of US President succession article even if the post was abolished yes as its of historical relevance, as its not a hereditary post held by a Royal House there would not be a line of succession to it, like there is with Royal Houses which continue post deposition (again attributable to reliable sources). - dwc lr (talk) 07:36, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Without a kingdom to be heir to, there is no such thing as a line of succession to a kingdom. There may be a line of succession to leadership of the family, but without a kingdom attached to this, who the heirs are to the headship of a family that used to be important isn't really notable. Agricolae (talk) 19:01, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Im more than happy for the article to be moved. You say it’s not important but there is coverage about who the immediate heirs are. If you take the House of Saxony there is a bitter dispute over who is head of the family which has been widely reported in Germany. - dwc lr (talk) 07:36, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If that is the case then that is quite a good example of why we shouldn't have articles like this on Wikipedia, since we shouldn't take sides on these disputes ( although we might have articles on notable disputes). PatGallacher (talk) 14:16, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Right now the only sourcing for the actual topic of this page (the current succession) appears to be the "Administration of the Duke of Bavaria" (the actual ref is an unverified publication(?) of this organization whose only search results are wiki mirrors and fan sites), which is definitely not independent and so does not demonstrate encyclopedic notability. Furthermore their website has the following disclaimer: The reproduction of information and data, in particular the use of texts, parts of texts, images and genealogy in whole and in part, require the prior consent of the Duke of Bavaria's administration, so it's unclear to what extent we are even allowed to provide the genealogical information.

The topic of the overall succession mechanisms to the US presidency would not though, even if the post was abolished. Yet we are seeing an attempt to delete numerous articles. As I said on the Austro-Hungarian AFD if people have a problem with one area discuss it on the talk page. The only sensible contribution is from Kusma, not one single other participant has addressed any other part of the article, they seem fixated on one particular area, which is most bizarre.

As the throne no longer exists, any "law" governing the succession of the "headship" of the House of Baden is an internal family affair and so this "line of succession" is pretty fictional. Merge pre-1918 content to List of rulers of Baden. —Kusma (t·c) 20:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The current line of succession, which is the topic of this article, is sourced only to the 2008 edition of Debrett's Peerage. This 5-pound, 1000+-page book series is on the British royalty and nobility; as such, the extent of its information on a former German princely house is limited to how deeply it explores foreign collateral branches. It certainly isn't enough to demonstrate notability on its own (are all of the lineages listed in this book noteworthy?), so absent further independent coverage specifically on the current successorship positions, this article is unverifiable, non-notable OR.

Because the English ones represent extant entities, with defined legal inheritance and concomitant (mostly non-voting) membership in the House of Lords, as opposed to just being 'titles the families now use'.

Delete. In the 8 years since the last AfD, where it was kept on the assurance that reliable sources (in the form of royal genealogy handbooks) existed covering the members and positions of the succession line, no such verifiable sources have been added. It is also not at all evident that such publications are sufficient to demonstrate encyclopedic notability: the criteria for inclusion in, e.g., the GHdA are the family's membership in a particular aristocratic association and their submission of primary materials verifying and/or updating their entry to the German Nobility Law Committee/German aristocratic archives, which oversees the Handbuch. These books are therefore only useful for confirming a family structure exists, not that it is itself a notable topic discussed by independent sources.

Blatant WP:HOAX even if unintentional, article for a YouTube playlist of library music which claims to be a promotional cassette release. The first track is from a 1980 UK library record, Sunny Jim by Take Six Discogs, cover art is clearly a computer created image and not a scanned cassette artwork. No references to an actual physical release by Muzak is made by the article. RoseCherry64 (talk) 13:12, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because it doesn't exist. The nominator's assessment is convincing. Someone put together a YouTube playlist of old dreck that might have been played in supermarkets in the 1970s, and it attracted enough commentary for incredulous saps to think it was an actual album. (And if you know anything about recording history, 61:22 is an unlikely length for a cassette or vinyl release from 1975.) Most of the listed sources are not about any album of this title, but instead discuss 1970s supermarket music at the high level. Some mention Muzak, others don't, and one (#3) spells their name wrong. One source (#5) mentions the so-called album by name, but it was written by a blogger who fell for the ruse just like the creator of this WP article did.

WP:BEFORE links to this essay which says 2 months, but as it is an essay only linked to policy, I am unsure as to whether it is policy. It is very soon to renominate. I'm not asking you to withdraw, and I will see what I can add to it to address the nomination concerns. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 21:35, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I did come across this essay and given that it didn't appear to be policy and did not have a link to a formal guideline I opted to be WP:BOLD and renominate with a clearer explanation. I do recognize it is a "quick" renomination, and I do generally agree with the points in that essay as they relate to specific guidelines for "keep" or "delete" closures but I am of the opinion that discussions should be left open/relisted until a consensus can be reached. I should also note that this article is in the oldest part of theWikiProject Notability backlog which is 11 years long - I did first attempt to determine if any sources existed to prove notability so that it could just be untagged, but was not successful, thus the AfD. All this being said, I do hope you are successful in improving the article! Paradoxsociety 00:55, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not enough to demonstrate notability as a writer.

I don't speak Russian either, but I used Google Translate, and the coverage appears to be significant. The first reference is for an article titled "World of Boxing under arrest: the tax service has blocked the accounts of the promotion company" from Sovsport.ru, the second is "Money in the ring: Is it possible to earn money in boxing in Russia" focuses on the World of Boxing founder from RBC.ru.

I did a PROD for this back in February due to the companies apparent lack of notability that was removed, because it might be notable since it was sold a lot of money. Nothing about the lack of notability has changed since then though. All of the sources in the article are either primary or extremely trivial and I can't find any that aren't. As an alternative to deletion it could potentially be merged to the company that bought it out Pfizer, but there would still have to be good secondary sources to back up whatever is merged. Adamant1 (talk) 23:38, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
keep This nomination is incorrect because A 5.2 Billion dollar company that developed two FDA drugs is notable. Pfizer is a massive pharmaceutical company, Anacor is relatively small peanuts for pfizer, it would be weird to have an extensive discussion on that article. The FDA is not a primary source, an FDA press release notifying of the release of a new drug is highly significant i.e. their products are highly notable. Tavaborole is a particularly notable compound as it has a novel mechanism of action. In addition to the coverage you could find by typing Anacor FDA into google, a quick search of the academic literature will reveal many publications. PainProf (talk) 23:54, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Either show me a policy that says "A 5.2 Billion dollar company that developed two FDA drugs is notable" or retract your vote. 5.2 billion is actually pretty pretty average in the world of pharmaceutical companies because it takes a lot of money to make drugs. Plus, Pharmaceutical companies get FDA approval for the drugs they develop. That's just how it works and there's nothing notable about it. Also, there's already articles about the drugs they developed. Which should be good enough. They aren't automatically notability just because they developed a few medications or have an about average net worth for the industry. --Adamant1 (talk) 00:03, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Right.... but a pharmaceutical company that has actually made it to market is rare. The vast majority fail epically. Developing an FDA drug is a highly notable product, millions will take this drug, its fine to have an article about the company that made it. There are many promo articles on Wikipedia, which is a problem but any drug company that actually manages to bring an approved pharmaceutical drug to market is notable. This is a bad nom, you can just withdraw it.
. I'll take you argument a step further, Wayne Rooney gets coverage because he's a footballer, football is what he does, he can't be notable because he plays for England, a middling team who never won a world cup when he played for them. PainProf (talk) 00:24, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reference Original PROD reason "Nothing notable about the company. Except that it got bought out, but none of its products are notable and its not even clear what their products actually are. Seems more like an advert then anything." By the way you need to put a policy based reason for deletion, it is fairly clear why the PROD got rejected. PainProf (talk) 00:35, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My original PROD reason has nothing to do with the AfD or is in any way related to the reasons I gave for the AfD nomination. Nice try deflecting from the fact that you don't have a policy to back up your crap about it automatically being notable because it's worth 5 billion dollars though. I'm not retracting the nomination based on your clearly faulty reasoning. Either show me a guideline where 5 billion dollar companies are automatically notable, provide some in-depth non-trivial secondary sources about this, or go kick rocks. You already voted and made your opinion about it pretty clear. Both of which wre more then enough. Harassing me about the nomination and trying to turn it into some garbage WP:OSE argument isn't constructive. --Adamant1 (talk) 00:46, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, Significant coverage defined by Wikipedia is:
A news article discussing a prolonged controversy regarding a corporate merger,
A scholarly article, a book passage, or ongoing media coverage focusing on a product or organization,
A report by a consumer watchdog organization on the safety of a specific product
Uumm, Motley Fool isn't a reliable source because it's an opinion blog and the forth one isn't even about the company. Good job finding one good source though? Maybe? Even if you failed at it (mostly), trying to find sources is at least better then the other stuff. Even bad footwork is better then no footwork. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:16, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Four, 1) Science Translational Medicine's (a highly respected academic journal) Blog is a highly reliable industry blog on pharmaceutical companies and the article on Boron therapeutics gives in depth coverage over the notable strategy of this company in Boron therapeutics (source 4), A review article based off many primary research articles is a highly reliable indication that the products the company produces are notable, where is your evidence the Motley fool is not reliable, it is neither deprecated nor listed as an unreliable source, it has journalists and engages in fact checking, all authors fill a COI disclosure. An opinion source about a company's merger shows that it is controversial. PainProf (talk) 01:24, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The nominator's argument appears to be that a pharmaceutical company is not notable if it produces drugs and makes money, and therefore any coverage it gets is routine and trivial. This is not a coherent argument. As PainProf has demonstrated, Anacor and its products have significant coverage and passes GNG. — Toughpigs (talk) 01:24, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weird that you would claim that about me since I specifically told PainProf to find non-routine sources about it and I even said one of the sources he come up with was non-trivial. That seems to just be the disingenuous way both of you are doing this though. Then you both go off about my "bad attitude." As if there isn't a reason I have one, like this and your crap in the other AfD. Or like your not the ones being disruptive with how your both acting and the arguing on your sides. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:15, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Pfizer either Boron#Pharmaceutical_and_biological_applications or Phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor (see below). Basic due diligence shows Anacor dead as a doorknocker since 2016/2017. It hasn't been traded on NASDAQ, as the article still claims, for three years. The website www.anacor.com redirects without comment to its parent's splash page. Pfizer's 2019 Financial Report makes only one reference to Anacor as a wholly-owned subsidiary, an internal business unit which does not report separate financial results, or develop its own drugs, or issue press releases, or even maintain a separate web presence. The company has been eaten and digested. "Keep" is not a sensible option. By the way, the drug company Medivation was also eaten and digested by Pfizer, so similar cleanup is needed there too. --Lockley (talk) 06:35, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That is not the policy, just because a company merges it doesn't become non-notable, see WP:NTEMP.... It was an independent company and notable at the time prior to merger and because of merger. As a question Why should Pfizer's article have a section on Boron therapeutics, when 1) they sold off the drugs to Sandoz and 2 its not a core part of the business. This company was notable for Boron therapeutics specifically. Just being merged does not change notability. It doesn't matter that this company doesn't exist anymore. They are notable in the history of boron therapeutics as a major entity. Pfizer's article is also already 100k bytes and quite long, how would you propose to integrate this company which wasn't part of Pfizer when it was notable. PainProf (talk) 07:13, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
On this basis we should also delete Beecham Group, Sigma-Aldrich etc. These companies all merged into larger companies. Or what about companies broken up for pieces, sold to a bank, or defunct? PainProf (talk) 07:25, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It sounds like Pfizer needs to be cut down anyway and adding this to it won't affect that any. Except for maybe pushing someone to actually do it. I don't think it being long should reflect on or effect what the best option for this article is anyway though. Plus, I don't think the article is or will be that long after whatever is badly sourced or not relevant is cut out of it anyway. For instance the first section is all about the chemical Boron and has absolutely nothing to do with the company. Whereas the second section is on drugs that already have their own articles and there isn't a need to talk about them in that much detail. So, the only thing that's actually relevant and worth merging is probably the lead. Which is extremely short. At least that's my analysis. Also, stop with the WP:OSE arguments already. Either stick to sound reasoning and guidelines or don't comment. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:27, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @PainProf:. After reflection I think you have a point. My argument didn't address notability. I was so eager to point out that the patient whose health was under discussion had been deceased for awhile now, and so quick to whistle for an orderly, that I didn't address the notability issue head-on, and I should have. Anacor (2002-2016) may have been notable.
You've argued on the grounds of the dollar amount of the merger, the rarity of actual delivery of drugs through FDA approval, and the novelty of Tavaborole being Boron-based. Those two opposing Motley Fool articles seem likely to contain anything notable about Anacor and/or its merger aimed at a layman's understanding. The anti-merger piece says Pfizer was heavy with cash and hot for any partners, that they overpaid for Anacor's two producing assets, the toenail fungus treatment Kerydin (Tavaborole) and the eczema treatment crisaborole, that these only added to Pfizer's existing "inflammation and immunology portfolio", and they were going to get competitive pressure in that market segment anyway. The pro-merger piece says Pfizer overpaid but Anacor was working with Boron as "a new platform for drug design". Boron-based drugs have a wonky reputation but great potential, maybe, even in oncology. Supposedly Anacor's head made a tactical decision to develop topical anti-inflammatory products first, for money reasons (quicker approval times, faster payoff), while placing a longer R&D bet on other Boron-based PDE4 inhibitors, which have all kinds of applications. Meanwhile Pfizer had deep pockets that could set Anacor's researchers free, and a special interest in oncology. So, merger, great idea.
Your first argument, the big money argument, not a great argument. Look at the Pfizer page, at the long list of its corporate acquisitions, you'll see Anacor fits into a pattern, and moneywise simply wasn't a huge deal. Likewise for your second argument, it looks like the FDA approves about 40 drugs a year, with 59 approvals in 2018. Each of the associated companies wouldn't seem automatically notable to me. But the third argument, the boron thing, that's actually worth talking about. As you've pointed out there's been a fair amount of academic attention to that "new platform for drug design." I agree that story deserves encyclopedic attention. But not here, not in an article about a dead company. And anyway Anacor was not the only company with a boron-based drug on the market. Pharmaceutical boron chemistry didn't belong to them and doesn't belong to Pfizer (despite them holding a bunch of patents now). All that story belongs at Boron#Pharmaceutical_and_biological_applications, or at Phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor.
Obviously I can't help that the Sigma-Aldrich page is so screwed up that the title and bolded name don't match, and the logo doesn't match either one. Obviously I don't care about the length of the Pfizer page right now, and you shouldn't either. One problem at a time. --Lockley (talk) 11:28, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your detailed reply. re the parents that's certainly true, Sandoz distributes it now. But I'm sure you would agree as a matter of record they were developed by Anacor rather than Sandoz or Pfizer. The criticism of boron therapeutics is actually of a compound from this company co-developed with GSK. Your point made me realise the article focuses on only the successful compounds but there were a number of flops too e.g. the one on that page. For FDA approval, it might be trivial if these were me-too drugs but since they actually have a novel mechanism of action vs other drugs they are a far rarer endeavour. Moreover they are relatively small to have two drugs approved. And actually normally a corporation with the capacity to make drugs at that level will meet GNG even if it is a me-too drug. I'm not sure I agree with the analysis from the motley fool since Pfizer I think wanted the drugs since they didn't get Allegran, Pfizer itself has little interest in R+D and in recent years has become more purchaser than basic developer of drugs. Either way this comment essentially describes a notable company. I don't think it's possible or desirable to include all the encyclopedic information of Pfizer's acquisitions in Pfizer's article. Long articles are a consideration as they are harder to navigate particularly on mobile browsers, a very common way to access Wikipedia WP:sizerule. I would suggest a few lines at Pfizer with a link remains the best way. Similarly reliable sources seem to find it significant i.e. In the pipeline is a good industry blog. As another note we should be able to find a great deal more about the founding of this company. In this case it looks like the founders indeed revolutionised boron therapeutics started a company that actually made it. I.e. they are described as a first mover in the field.[1]PainProf (talk) 12:27, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Actually Bortezomib came to the U.S. market in 2003, making the developer Myogenics the "first mover" in the field of therapeutic boron chemistry. Myogenics is another defunct company. To me this is further proof that any encyclopedic discussion of Anacor's sole claim to fame, its role the history & potential of boron-based drugs, would belong in Boron or in Phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, not here. Best. --Lockley (talk) 20:57, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Closing in line with several precedents. The article Serbian names covers the topic well enough. Tone 13:07, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The article has stood for 2 years without having its notability challenged. It is essentially an indiscriminate directory-style list of Serbian given names and I'm guessing its intention is to be an exhaustive list of every given name in Serbia. I feel it fails WP:LISTN and WP:GNG but I'm open to being proved wrong. Spiderone 20:26, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as index of articles per WP:LISTPURP and per WP:CLN as complement to Category:Serbian given names, which includes 395 articles. @Spiderone:, I'd hold off on any more such nominations if I were you until the pending ones are resolved, because it may save some time. postdlf (talk) 20:38, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The article Serbian names is okay; the exhaustive directory of names is not. It also has problematic inclusion criteria. Is it just for names with their origin in the Serbian language or just any names that are used in Serbia? If it is the latter, then there are potentially infinite possibilities. If it is the former, then names like Anita, Georgina and Lara and several others should be removed for a start. Spiderone 20:49, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is best summarised in this section of policy, which states "As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a directory, repository of links, or means of promotion, and should not contain indiscriminate lists, only certain types of lists should be exhaustive. Criteria for inclusion should factor in encyclopedic and topical relevance, not just verifiable existence. For example, all known species within a taxonomic family are relevant enough to include in a list of them, but List of Norwegian musicians would not be encyclopedically useful if it indiscriminately included every garage band mentioned in a local Norwegian newspaper." This article violates that because it is an indiscriminate list of every Serbian given name and is largely unverifiable. Spiderone 20:57, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete CLN applies when the list can provide something beyond mere alphabetized links. This article does not, and should not be kept unless demonstrated to provide something better than being a context-free directory. Information such as prevalence can also go at Serbian_names#Given_names. Reywas92Talk 02:21, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
*Keep: legit list per WP:CLN, WP:NOTDUP states: "building a rudimentary list of links is a useful step in improving a list. Deleting these rudimentary lists is a waste of these building blocks" and WP:AOAL lays out potential advantages. // Timothy :: talk 14:20, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
And per appropriate topics for lists, we have "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value, unless they are split into sections. For example, a list of brand names would be far too long to be of value." and "Some Wikipedians feel that some topics are unsuitable by virtue of the nature of the topic. Following the policy spelled out in What Wikipedia is not, they feel that some topics are trivial, non-encyclopedic, or not related to human knowledge. If you create a list like the "list of shades of colors of apple sauce", be prepared to explain why you feel this list contributes to the state of human knowledge." This article covers a topic that is too large, unverifiable and, most importantly, has no place in an encyclopaedia. For example, if a couple in Serbia decide to name their new born son 'Logan' would that mean that 'Logan' needs to be added to this list? Ridiculous list that can never achieve its purpose.

It is quite clear that the reasons to delete those previous articles (i.e. WP:NOTDIR and WP:IINFO) still apply here. Spiderone 07:00, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (changed vote): I was reading this discussionSpiderone posted and the mention of "List of Jewish names" startled me. I actually can't believe it didn't occur to me immediately what various lists of names that usually to belong to a particular group have been used for historically. This may not have occured to others as well. I know this was absolutely not in anyway the intention with these Wikipedia lists, but good intentions can be used by those with other than good intentions. This is enough for me to switch to Delete. I doubt there is a policy or guideline to directly support this reasoning, but per WP:IGNORE I think Delete is the best way to improve the encyclopedia. // Timothy :: talk 07:46, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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 "Serbian given names" has been treated as a "a group or set by independent reliable sources".
The book notes: "Given names: Approx. 175 listed indicating gender, diminutives, variants and, in some cases, whether the name is Muslim or Serbian. Some names have English meaning."
The article notes: "Serbs are given the names of their relatives or a name the family particularly likes, depending on the circumstances. Some of the more common Serbian first names are explained here."
Because of Wikipedia's role as an almanac and a gazetteer as well as an encyclopedia, it contains a large number of lists. Some lists, such as the list of U.S. state birds, are typically complete and unlikely to change for a long time.
Some lists, however, cannot be considered complete, or even representative of the class of items being listed; such lists should be immediately preceded by the ((Expand list)) template, or one of the topic-specific variations that can be found at Category:Hatnote templates for lists. Other lists, such as List of numbers, may never be fully complete, or may require constant updates to remain current – these are known as "dynamic lists", and should be preceded by the ((Dynamic list)) template.
Response to Cunard - I'm not suggesting that Serbian given names are not a notable topic and, indeed, some of those references that you have found could be used in the article Serbian names; I am simply arguing that an exhaustive list of every single given name possessed by a Serb is unencyclopaedic and shouldn't be on Wikipedia.

Comment : Dear All, Please refrain from noting my actions as being paid. It is not nor I will be part of it. I have asked to look to local papers and give your genuine comment. I am very discouraged at the moment. I would not be participating in any of such things, Since I was aiming to be a long standing contributor since I am journalsit.

Comment : I have also previously, when I found it difficult to get these local websites to be marked as sources, I have stated in the wikiproject Maldives. I would like the admins and sernior editors to look into this in future. If these are to be the end product of the work, it will hard to populate wikipedia maldives.

Draftify based on the comments above, I'd like to change my vote to Draftify. The creator is a new editor and still learning and sending this to drafts will give them an opportunity to work on it with a mentor (I've suggested this to them). There may very well be local language Maldivian sources that show notability that we are unaware of. We lack editors from this part of the world and with these language skills and it would be a plus for the encyclopedia if this new editor could be retained and improved by mentoring. Many people at AfD have wished they could ask for input from someone that speaks an uncommon language and here we may have this kind of resource. Nothing is hurt by sending this to Draft, while something could well be gained. Thanks for your consideration. // Timothy :: talk 14:34, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: To all who contributed here, Thank you. It shows me the level of dedication and rules we have here, its great to know that. I have had admins and users giving me strength here, Thank you. Since we have all of us, and important people's attention, I want this piece of contribution here to help us all to make Wikipedia better.
About this subject, I will start with an example. This Link https://archive.mv/dv/articles/j5mnE Please have a thorough look at it. Many may not understand but if looked clearly will see; You can note
A. The subject's name in local language in many recurrences.
B. Note that it was long time back.
C. Stated in Haveeru_Daily, which was then No.1 In Maldives.
D. If you can read you will know its by the Office of the President who sanctioned the subject work, if someone writes by their own on such level, it will be criminal.
This is one sample I took from google search. From what I have read as GNG rules, it fits from one article itself.
Since I was asked about elected posts, I cannot in English verify much, but here is a try. For ex: This subject was elected to the highest body of doctors in Maldives 2014 http://mma.org.mv/. Please have a search on (January 2014 archive) and the Care_Society board, which is largest and oldest NGO in Maldives and elected by a general assembly open to public.
and the subject's local name (as written in article in dhivehi), search in google, it shows many of the secondary sources by major news sources about the subject's stand and advice to medical issues, emergencies and healthcare reform work in different timelines.(There is a lot to write to explain every link, So I will stop it here for users to look into them by themselves).
The discussion about this subject in my interest; is not for the person individually, but the system we are trying to address. I have many articles about individuals in Maldives I am actually researching and excited about.
This is one of the most prominent person in "history" of Maldives Politics itself. But I could not find any englsih literature to put up about the person, have only local pieces. And in that page page I have highlighted "Mohamed Waheed"; is the honored Governor of the Southern Region for 3 decades and developed every island in Huvadhu_Atoll. I could not find any literature on him either in English, but just two photos. We need to populate Wikipedia Maldives, we need to build a system to understand this literature of Maldives and its news sources to get this loop fixed.
Many of the Maldivian mainstream media never tries to put up on English publishing as a priority unless there are other international agendas or payments. I understand that too since the country is small and circulation is small, thus overhead is difficult to balance. But it hampers the reality too, self promotion for can effect strict and great sources like Wikipedia.
We need some of us who can read and identify the media sphere of Maldives and Identity the major sources. I have in-depth knowledge of the media and news, But I will need a lot of help from admins and senior editors to bring a consensus, so we can make new additions of Maldives related articles.
About the paid things accusations, I am still not in peace with it, admins and users please investigate and find who is doing this on this article since I dont have any interest in media citations that aren't credible. I have removed sources that aren't Maldivian.
Keep: I am not a wiki editor, but could not resist saying something after seeing this on this persons page. The news papers I see are mostly main maldives papers. I know Dhivehi language and I can confirm that the person is portrayed in the articles this creator is showing in the google link. I dont know the rules here but maybe this information can matter.196.152.75.255 (talk) 23:23, 16 August 2020 (UTC) — 196.152.75.255 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Delete fails the notability guidelines for politicians and the GNG guidelines.

Regarding the Guidelines, once again its not about justifying this article , after reading the guidelines in detail apart from WP:GNG, WP:BASIC is met, if you read the articles in the google in local language you will know. Please check in detail. Also I urge the admins to end this fast so no more comments on my authenticity will come. Existance Leesaaisath 11:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep My advice is GSS, Tit-for-tat will drive more attention, plus will discourage people to contribute. Best way would be to keep silent and do what you want to do. This is an interesting situation. Who among you can read any of the articles listed? Who can discredit the news sources listed? Guys! can you read a sentence or a paragraph of the links in question? If not than you are not helping Wikipedia or should weigh your opinion. I used to contribute in free time. But I got situations as this and stopped because I lost the drive. I vote keep: Because this is not what Wikipedia is about and I can see the contributor is showing over 10 credible local references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 43.231.29.107 (talk) 14:13, 19 August 2020 (UTC) — 43.231.29.107 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Reply: Thanks Ravenswing for asking. If you see the newspapers and their levels of prominence in Maldives.
But Have a look at this few news papers by yourself and explain to me if they aren't credible. And about coverage, teach me how to understand it, since its about the subject and if we look in any angle it meets WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. So, tell me what is the part I dont understand, did you read the Haveeru Daily article? Apart from going deep, that one source justifies this. I think it can help too. Guide me on this please.

Keep. It is indeed a bar in Philadelphia, but it is one that has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources, and therefore meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability.

WP:AUD says "at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary". The 2005 profile by Jennifer Hans in the Courier-Post satisfies that. The Courier-Post is a New Jersey newspaper, so it's a regional, rather than local, source. TypoBoy (talk) 20:35, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You've got to be kidding? or you're just bad at geography. All that separates Philadelphia and New Jersey is a river. Some unknown newspaper a few miles away in Cherry Hill is not a regional source.--Rusf10 (talk) 23:26, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Cherry Hill, the home of the Courier-Post, is separated from Philadelphia by that river (which is also a state boundary), but also by a number of other municipalities including Pennsauken, Merchantville, Collingswood, Haddon Township, Haddonfield, Audubon, Oaklyn, Gloucester City, and Camden (the 12th-largest city in New Jersey). They're distinct localities within the same region.
Your unfamiliarity with the Courier-Post is of no relevance. It's New Jersey's fifth-largest newspaper, and it's a century and a half old.

Keep IMHO its better to keep and not to delete this page. The source is reliable and not just depends on a single source. Laskar kern (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:13, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I vote for this page to keep, the sources I think reliable and multiple enough. As example : the source from Shepard Media and Flight Global. We all as a military watcher know this both source uses as reference for globally military page and internationally. And not to mentioned the source from the official websites of this company (CTRM). As you can see there was two source from official websites of this company where the first from its parent company (DefTech) and the other one from this company itself as subsidiary (CTRM). There also source from The Edge Market which is very reliable for companies and business matter. Just my thought.Tomahakarf (talk) 10 August 2020 (UTC)
Keep The article is notable enough to me because the references are taken from its official websites. Not one but two (Parent and Subsidiaries companies). The other references also reliable and strong.Kistara (talk) comment added 9:50, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
Just keep it. Please don't delete. Why want to delete the good and informative article with the good source? Please recheck. If can improve the article then do it and please don't delete.

Please note that WP:NPROF clearly states the following An article's assertion that the subject passes this guideline is not sufficient. Every topic on Wikipedia must have sources that comply with Wikipedia:Verifiability. Major awards must be confirmed, claims of impact must be substantiated by independent statements, reviews, citation metrics, or library holdings, and so on. Once the passage of one or more notability criteria has been verified through independent sources, or through the reliable sources listed explicitly for this purpose in the specific criteria notes, non-independent sources, such as official institutional and professional sources, are widely accepted as reliable sourcing for routine, uncontroversial details. Has anyone managed to find a good source to verify the claim of the article, as uncontroversial as it may be? Spiderone 15:54, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A consulting paradigm that does not appear to meet WP:GNG.

Another rail station mistakenly identified by GNIS as a community. There was briefly a post office here called Frazerville and then later called Glen Frazer. As we've seen, post offices back then were not a reliable indicator of a town or village. Several references call it a train station but no indications that it was ever a community. Does not meet basic notability standards. Glendoremus (talk) 23:56, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Yet another erroneous GNIS designation.

Eggishorn(talk)(contrib) 22:01, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing in the plain wording of WP:GEOLAND indicates a that GNIS listing and/or having had a post office confers notability. Yilloslime (talk) 00:02, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete[34] describes it as a "depot" for the railway, which isn't a community, or even the kind of station where passengers can board. There are mentions in sources but they are all in the context of reports of routine railway operations. [35] makes it clear that there was a ranch nearby, but a ranch doesn't equal a community. There's certainly no sign of a community at the claimed coordinates now. WP:GEOLAND only gives near-automatic notability to legally recognised populated places. Having a post office doesn't equate to legal recognition and there isn't any good evidence of a community here anyway. If it's not a legally recognised populated place then it has to pass the GNG.

Apparently a non-notable album. The only source in the article is a primary source from the band itself. Metal-archives and discogs, which turned up in a WP:BEFORE search, are both user-generated. Everything else I'm finding appears to be blogs/sales sites/user-generated. Despite having ... unusual ... track titles such as "Bathing in a Grease Disposal Unit" and "Diarrhea of the Mouth", this album seems to have gained no reliable coverage.

Redirect to Cattle Decapitation ("Discography" section). An early release by a band who became notable later, but at the time this album was largely unnoticed and hence only appears as a brief listing in places that reprint the band's discography. A couple of side notes: (1) The band has some other obscure early releases before and after this one, which may be eligible for this type of discussion. (2) If you think the song titles here are ... unusual ... avoid exploring the rest of the goregrind genre. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 01:29, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Other than Durham, the only reference to this is in a story about a holdup repeated in several sources, all of which refer to people coming from the North American House. Waystation, maybe, but I find no reference to this as a settlement. A passing reference in a story and an entry in a book of placenames is just not enough for notability.

Delete. newspapers.com shows a number of Stockton-area papers from the 1860s to 1880s making reference to the North American House on the road to Mokelumne Hill, California, most often the scene of an arrest, an attack, a duel, or a stagecoach robbery. Pacific Bee of Sacramento August 20 1886: "...we are at the North American House, on the old Mokelumne Hill and Stockton road. This place has from time immemorial been a stage station, and is famous for the number of stages robbed near it in (sic) and since the flush times."

Keep. In addition to it's usage as standalone player it is also used as synthesizer engine in several video games such as OpenTTD (see here for evidence of that fact) and a few game engines - which perhaps could be mentioned in the article as well. Timidity also has a reasonably comprehensive article in the Archlinux wiki which does speak to it's notability (of course articles in other wikis have no influence on this wiki, but interesting nonetheless). More relevant to the relevance discussion perhaps are several mentions in scientific papers, such as this or this, which make use of this software. welterde, 2001:678:C70:0:6:3:0:9 (talk) 09:18, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - In addition to the arguments mentioned by the first anonymous voter, this software has two chapters dedicated to it in a book called Linux Sound Programming ISBN 978-1-4842-2495-3 (chapters 21 and 28) from a major publisher (Springer). I would consider this non-trivial coverage. RoseCherry64 (talk) 13:32, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Can't go just by chapter headings—what does the text say? Linux Sound Programming is more of a how-to manual, and the "chapters" (doi:10.1007/978-1-4842-2496-0_21; doi:10.1007/978-1-4842-2496-0_28) are just code examples with zero background on the software itself or its importance. I'm struggling to see what can be cited from it at all. Mentions in scientific papers are not significant coverage. Mentions in the user-generated Arch wiki (or any other unreliable source) do not indicate external notability. Not seeing any useful redirect targets either. Altogether, lacks significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. (?) (not watching, please ((ping))) czar 19:43, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Third time pays for all, one hopes. In any event, this article fails WP:NOR and WP:SYNTH, as well as the GNG with flying colors. Article has been notability tagged for over thirteen years. While being a barely intelligible rant is not a violation of policy, per se, this article surely qualifies as one.
The second nomination frankly proffered no valid grounds to delete, and closed as no consensus. The first, however ... I’m saddened to see keeps from several veteran editors claiming that the article was adequately sourced, when it is obvious that they didn’t actually READ the sources.
I just did. Obviously, official inquiries from both the UK and NZ governments are reliable. However, of the two reports cited, the Foster report does not mention the subject at all, and the Powles report does so only as a namedrop in its appendix list of documents. Neither satisfies the GNG, nor obviously does Scientology’s internal documents. (And were this ever so heavily and adequately sourced, it still fails NOR and SYNTH.)

I have researched this company and can't find any sources of notability, it does not meet the requirements of WP:NCOMPANY + WP:GNG.

The result was redirect to The company P. Content can be merged from history if desired. Bottom line is nobody here is very convinced that this is something notable. Sandstein 17:02, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This article is written like a advertisement for what appears to be a very obscure company. No secondary sources are cited, and the subject likely fails WP:GNG. A previous AfD ended without consensus due to a lack of participation. — Tartan357(Talk) 23:18, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep: This appears to have begun as a multimedia project involving The company P and Tim Kring and gained Banff World Media Festival awards. (I have added sources for that history into the article.) However the website indicates that it has subsequently become a vehicle for providing marketing content. Given the awards, the initial project is possibly notable, but I am less convinced that its subsequent life as a company has demonstrablenotability. AllyD (talk) 09:09, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. There's an academic article about the 2010 campaign/event (DOI:10.1080/14794713.2015.1084807). But as AllyD points out, maybe it's just that specific campaign that is notable. If no-one has the energy to clean this up, maybe we could just merge a couple of sentences into the article on Kring and call it a day. Haukur (talk) 01:04, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A game that has won a single small conference award and has had no significant coverage in reliable sources. Also looks like it was written by a very likely COI or undisclosed paid editor. Either way, seems WP:TOOSOON. - Whisperjanes (talk) 00:28, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm not sure I'd agree it's WP:TOOSOON - it's just straight-up non-notable. There is nothing much else to add given that it lacks any significant coverage.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:10, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For some reason, I didn't really notice the date. I was also trying to soften the blow with the words "Too Soon" (in case the original editor was the developer and saw the discussion), since the Wiki concept of notability doesn't always make sense to new editors. But you're right, that essay is not applicable here. I struck it above. - Whisperjanes (talk) 01:43, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This will never be a case of WP:TOOSOON as the game released in 2016. I was unable to find anything that would count as a significant coverage in secondary reliable sources, besides a WP:PRIMARY blog post by the developer on Gamasutra. The article doesn't help either (besides the IndieCade nomination, which by itself is not enough): interviews, unreliable sources (Gamebits), store listings, an award on a non-notable conference. A clear failure of WP:GNG. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 14:34, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
weak keep, I may be biased as I know many of the folks involved in "Meaningful Play" (all for different reasons weirdly), but yeah, an award for that carries some weight. Gamers with jobs probably counts as a RS. The rest probably don't but it's a close call (professional-grade podcasts etc.). Hobit (talk) 16:36, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hobit A website with no staff listed like Gamers with Jobs is no way a WP:RS, and will never be. Considering you haven't really proven how Meaningful Play is notable (besides admitting you are biased in that regard), I stand strongly about my vote. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 19:21, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct. I'll go with IAR keep. This is, IMO, a perfectly reasonable article to have. It's an award-winning innovative game. But yeah, I justify that by the GNG, so I'm left with IAR. Hobit (talk) 18:22, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:IAR only applies when unnecessary rules are impeding proper function of the encyclopedia. This is not one of those times, the rules appear to be working as intended, and that argument simply falls into WP:INTERESTING.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:27, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG, no reliable indepth significant coverage. No notable awards. This is not a TOOSOON, as it's years past now, it's simply not notable. Essentially, per Jovanmilic97. -- ferret (talk) 14:53, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

non-notable attorney. Involvement in a great many fairly routine cases. I think our usual standard is either extensive press coverage for himself not primarily in connection with a case, or involvement in cases which are notable in the WP sense, or head of a state bar association, or the like. None of these are present. Awards like best lawyers in America are pure PR, just like this article. DGG ( talk ) 05:15, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Gotta buck the trend here. You have to Google him first. Reuters identifies him in as a "prominent lawyer"[[46]] and "top white-collar defense lawyer Andrew Levander".[[47]] From the latter Reuters coverage "Levander, a partner at the law firm Dechert LLP, is one of the biggest names in the defense bar in the United States." His cases are by no means run of the mill. Tanaka's airbag suit was a whopper. Barclay's was huge. Former Governor Corzine's lawsuit made national news.[[48]] From that article in the Seattle Times, "Corzine has hired prominent defense attorney Andrew Levander of New York, according to a person familiar with the situation." Seattle knows he is prominent, across the country. There are also pieces in the NY Times calling him a leading white collar criminal defense lawyer.[[49]] I would like to see more personal profile info and less garbage sourcing in fawning law directories, but that's an editing job, not a delete. So it's a keep and fix. TimTempleton(talk)(cont) 00:42, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Another Dechert lawyer. Most of the coverage is in passing mentions. Open statements, my client said, said his client, told the judge and so on. Fails WP:SIGCOV. No real secondary sources. The Seatle Time link above, is hired prominent, another mention. scope_creepTalk 08:38, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I thought the sources I found and argument I made would be enough. Multiple national sources calling him notable. While it's very rare for people to change their votes, since they don't want to look like they only gave this a cursory glance, new delete votes surprise me. The original nom claims Levander's cases are non-notable, which is clearly not true. Is there some underlying subtext I'm missing? I see a reference to Wikiprofessionals above. To the closer - give me a day (it's Wednesday AM now) - I'm going to remove the poor sourcing and add better ones, and flesh out his bio as much as I can. TimTempleton(talk)(cont) 16:16, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I tightened it up a bit, and removed some fluff. I still wish there were more in-depth profiles that I could include, but if you head up a big white collar defense firm that values client confidentiality, I'm guessing self-promotion is frowned on.

Doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:BIO. The only web sources I could find are mostly focussed on this movement PTM. I cant find many reliable sources that are independent of this subject. The coverage that exists for this person consist mostly of routine coverage of the movement and a few articles regarding his arrest. But certainly "significant coverage" does not exist, which is a key requirement in meeting WP:GNGKami2018 (talk) 21:15, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As a side note, as I have written before, the nom Kami2018, who is mass reporting Pashtun articles for deletion, has disruptively edited articles about Pashtuns in the past and was recently given "last warning" on his talk page twice for removing sourced content from various related articles.

KeepMerge This article is well-written and has multiple sources that appear to meet WP:BIO. The numerous AFD nominations on similar Pakistani activists make me agree with other wikipedians that this could be disruptive editing. Terasaface (talk) 01:27, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Terasaface How is nominating these articles disruptive when they dont even have a single article or source dedicated to them. They dont fall under the general notability guidelines and wikipedia gives the right to nominate the articles. They are barely mentioned when they are either arrested in a group or when they are sitting with leader of the movement. The person who is notable is Manzoor Pashteen, Mohsin Dawar etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kami2018 (talk • contribs) 03:55, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Kami2018, thank you for linking Manzoor Pashteen and Mohsin Dawar; looking closer I do see your point in comparing these subjects' notability. From my point-of-view it seems disruptive to nominate seven articles from the same creator for deletion on the same day, however, I also see now that Khestwol has a 33% deletion rate of new articles created, which is also suspicious. This situation may be an edit-war or simply editors not assuming good faith, neither of which are the proper ways to engage in this dialogue. I believe we must act with sensitivity regarding articles related to the ongoing Arab–Israeli conflict, however, upon further review I do agree that this article may not quite meet WP:BIO after all. I am changing my vote to Merge and I believe we can merge this information into Pashtun Tahafuz Movement. Terasaface (talk) 13:46, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Those arguing to keep this are pointing to the sources currently in the article, but whether they constitute substantive coverage has not really been discussed.

As I replied above to @Terasaface: Jamal Malyar is officially a member of Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (as in the recent general election), not Pashtun Tahafuz Movement.

An apparent BLP about a figure in cricket and politics who does not appear to satisfy WP:NCRIC or WP:NPOL. The best argument for notability I can come up with is that he satisfies NPOL by having held state/province–wide office by being general secretary of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee. Except that (1) I cannot find a single source to verify that claim; and (2) even assuming it is true, I am skeptical that a state-level party official counts as notable by this standard.
As for the cricket arguments, he turns up as an also-ran in this article and a few carbon copies of it about the fallout from the Lodha Committee. He never played professional cricket, as far as I know. Rather, he had various positions in the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association. I'm not sure how to treat a sport official under NCRIC—I'm tempted to view notability for sport officials as analogous to notability for politicians. In which case, as a state-level cricket official, he might be notable, but I cannot find enough WP:SIGCOV to back that up.
Flagging that I just moved the article from "Riasatali", which seemed incorrect given how the name is spelled in the article. It's a clear autobio; creator Riasataliofficial is indef blocked. Tagged for notability since 2013; PROD—quite reasonably—declined in 2016. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 00:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
