Not notable. While Li has appeared in several notable films and TV shows, none of their roles appear to be significant, with the potential exception of My Spy Family. However, Li's character only appears to have appeared in 5 episodes out of the 46-episode run. His role on Thomas may become significant, but does not appear to be at the moment. For this reason, Li is not considered to be likely to be notable by WP:NACTOR.

More importantly, Li does not meet the basic biographical notability criteria. The only source I was able to find that was not a press release or trivial mention was this Resonate article, which only talks about Li for one paragraph in a piece purportedly about him. This is well below the required significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 22:29, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:MERGEREASON bullet points 3 and 4. As the article is "similar to Eggs Benedict", it should be merged with that article just like all other variants of that dish. Also, it would greatly benefit from the context in Eggs Benedict. Willbb234Talk (please ((ping)) me in replies) 20:21, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The content in this article can't merge to Eggs Benedict article. I haven't found any reliable sources so far that would support this. I've removed the line causing the confusion from the article. The Bloomsbury book explains that the term is used for two different dishes. Hickoryglaze (talk) 20:46, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Rhododendrites, I'm advocating keeping Eggs Beauregard as a separate article (hence the keep vote, rather than a merge vote). There's reliable sourcing that discusses Eggs Beauregard independently of Eggs Benedict. Perhaps not the best example, but Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet are both variants/successors to Ethernet, and have standalone (albeit problematic) articles as there is reliable sourcing that discusses them independently - would you advocate merging these back into Ethernet? Waggie (talk) 21:11, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Right, but which eggs beauregard? The article starts "Eggs Beauregard is an American term that is used for two egg dishes." Unless the sources predominantly talk about it being two dishes (and based on what I'm seeing, they don't), we should not have an article about two subjects. If we have two albums with the title "Greatest Hits", we don't keep it because both of them together return enough sources for notability -- we need to split it up and determine which is notable. If one is a variant on the other, we need sources to say that. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 21:15, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It seems kind of silly to me to try and narrow down the article to only one particular recipe for Eggs Beauregard. It's a name that's gained attention WP:SIGCOV, and they're related dishes. That's my two cents. It's OK to disagree. :) Waggie (talk) 02:58, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a different recipe; it's a different subject. That's why the article says at the very start that it's an article about two subjects by the same name. They are both eggs, yes. Unless we're writing an article about a word itself, it's a WP:DICDEF (and WP:NOR) problem to write about two subjects just because they have the same name unless sources explicitly cover them together. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:48, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
From DICDEF: "Both dictionaries and encyclopedias contain definitions. Encyclopedia articles should begin with a good definition and description of one topic (or a few largely or completely synonymous or otherwise highly related topics), but the article should provide other types of information about that topic as well. An encyclopedic definition is more concerned with encyclopedic knowledge (facts) than linguistic concerns." (emphasis added) - I think that the article covers more than linguistic concerns and they are related by having the same name. Either way, I think it's time for us to leave the discussion to others. Best wishes, Waggie (talk) 04:04, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly prefer deletion to merging. Your logic is backwards, we can't merge an ambiguous term without explaining the ambiguity and it doesn't belong in the Eggs Benedict article. A passing comment in the NY Times is not enough to merge these articles. I would object strongly to my content being used this way I will object to the addition at the Eggs Benedict article as well. Hickoryglaze (talk) 01:12, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We have sources that would clearly justify inclusion in the benedict article, so if it's deleted from here it would obviously be redirected where it's mentioned elsewhere. To the extent this is about two different subjects and one of them isn't necessarily considered a benedict, that wouldn't be merged (hence "selectively"). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:48, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing coverage that adds up to WP:GNG. Of the provided sources, only two even have the pretense of independence: Hackaday and Packt Hub. Hackaday is apparently a blog and is thus assumed to not be reliable (see also this RSN discussion), whereas the content of the Packt Hub piece does not inspire confidence. Searching online, I wasn't able to find anything in internet or Scholar searches, although it's not impossible that I missed something due to the subject's minimalist name. signed, Rosguill talk 00:45, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet notability requirements. Appears to have been written by family member, only sources are pamyat-naroda documents (but literally millions of soldiers have their documents on that website).

During WWII (from September 1942 to May 1945), Valentina Vlasenko (Subbocheva) performed several thousand surgical operations, which are confirmed by documents. In reality, she performed much more operations, but many documents were not preserved. She worked not in a hospital, but in a medical battalion, directly near the battlefield, constantly risking her life. The operations she urgently performed in the battlefield saved the lives of at least several hundred soldiers.
There are articles on the WIKI about female snipers who killed more than one hundred Nazis (Nina Lobkovskaya, Ziba Ganiyeva), but there is no less contribution to the victory over fascism made the woman who saved the lives of hundreds of soldiers. Not everything can be compared, but when you read an article about a heroic woman who saved 74 Jewish children (Saide Afirova), it is worth remembering those who saved the lives of hundreds of wounded.
Instead of deleting an article about a front-line surgeon, one should write articles about other doctors who saved the lives of the wounded in the war.--Ввласенко (talk) 14:58, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
But what distinguishes her from the other front-line surgeons who did thousands of surguries? And why are the only sources the pamyat naroda documents (which do no define notability at all)? If she were notable she would have sufficient coverage in secondary sources about the feats credited to her - but the article has ZERO secondary sources. We cannot take the word of uncited documents that are missing that she was a top surgeon - we need secondary sources (like books, newspapers, and magazines) describing her feats. I am also under the impression you are related to her, and writing articles about family members, especially those who are not notable, is highly frowned upon. The reasons Nina Lobkovskaya, Ziba Ganiyeva, and Saide Afirova, are eligigle for articles is not the raw number of lives they saved or Nazis they killed - it's the media coverage they got. Those three all are described sufficiently in secondary sources cited in their articles, unlike Vlasenko. The highest military award she received was the Order of the Patriotic War 2nd class - not even remotely close to meeting notability standards considering literally millions were awarded it as a jubilee medal. Sorry, but your grandmother just doesn't make the cut. If we considered her notable, then we would have to allow literally millions of low-notability insignificant biographies about low-ranking, low-publicity military personell written by grandkids, which would turn Wikipedia into moypolk.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 15:55, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Since you read in Russian, I use it to express myself more accurately. You can answer me in English.
Вы правы, предположив, что я член семьи Валентины Власенко, она моя мать, что не ограничивает меня в правах участника ВИКИ.
Сначала об источниках.
1.Источники, перечисленные в разделе References, являются официальными документами Красной Армии. Они использованы как первичные источники, именно в них указаны действия Валентины Власенко (Суббочевой), за которые она была награждена.
2.Два печатных источника приведены в списке литературы. Они являются вторичными источниками. В них также описываются действия Валентины Власенко (Суббочевой) во время войны.
3.Ещё два вторичных источника указаны в разделе External links.
Таким образом, есть надёжные первичные источники и есть вторичные источники, в том числе печатные, следовательно, формальные требования выполнены.
Теперь о принципах.
Значимость энциклопедии, как системы знаний в различных отраслях, определяется широтой и надёжностью представленной информации, независимо от её современной публичности. Вы же подчёркиваете, что в ВИКИ должны быть упомянуты только публичные, освещаемые в СМИ люди, и если следовать этому принципу, то информация в ВИКИ, в частности, о людях, окажется вторичной и сиюминутной, следовательно, быстро устаревающей. Такие критерии как ранг наград, стареют очень быстро, а общечеловеческие ценности времени не подвластны. Историческая информация далеко не всегда является популярной, что не уменьшает её содержательности. Часто она оказывается важной с точки зрения сохранения источников, что тоже является одной из целей энциклопедии. Кроме того, принцип минимизации ограничений, используемый в ВИКИ, стоит рассматривать как возможность увеличивать содержание надёжной информации.
Замечу, что упоминание «мойполк» (возможно, «бессмертный полк») неуместно, поскольку к российской пропаганде статью причислить никак нельзя, она представлена только в английской и украинской ВИКИ, но не в русской.--Ввласенко (talk) 09:26, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but she just doesn't meet notability requirements. We can't give every surgeon awarded the Order of the Patriotic War who did a lot of surguries an article. While her feats are impressive they are by no means noteworthy or distinguishing enough for Wikipedia.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 14:07, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:BIO and WP:NPOL. The politician has never held an elected office, let alone a notable one. The person neither seems to have any notable mentions from secondary sources with regards to his business career. The only secondary sources available on him either are hard to come by and at best give him a passing mention with regards to him receiving a regional secondary post within his party or about him switching his party once. The citations in the article are also misleading as one Indian Express marked source links to a whole different site altogether, and one Patrika (in Hindi) makes no mention of him at all. Most of the information in the article is unsourced. There is no evidence, that I could find which qualifies him for WP:GNG. It could also be a potential case of WP:PROMO.

Move for deletion because of WP:STATION. See Talk:Filben, Nevada. I previously put this article up for WP:PROD, User:Northamerica1000 to a look (thanks!), declined the prod and in their comment wrote "Some source searches are providing evidence that this was formerly a populated place. I recommend initiating a deletion discussion at AfD for wider community input, if deletion is still desired. Also, I did read the information on the talk page." In Talk:Filben, Nevada, I did find one source that mentions Filben as an old mining town, but that source also lists Rio Vista, Nevada, which was recently deleted. There are a couple of other sources (Myrick and Paher), but I don't have copies of those sources. For reference, see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thorne, Nevada. Kinkaid,_Nevada might also be not notable. Nevada has a many railroad stations that are not notable, it would be helpful to me to get some feedback on whether Filben is notable.

As per WP:TVSHOW, unaired TV pilots are generally not notable enough for standalone articles. This article consists of nothing but casting notices (and the one "Fox passes on pilot" article) which, on their own, do not demonstrate notability. Instead, article should be deleted and replaced with a redirect to Behind Enemy Lines (film series)#Cancelled pilot which is how the subject should be handled. --IJBall (contribstalk) 13:48, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge the production section to Behind Enemy Lines (film series)#Cancelled pilot. While notability is not sufficient for a stand-alone article, the sources are fine and content is more in-depth than the merge target. – sgeureka tc 09:01, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for clarifying, IJBall. This is confusing for me because, as I said, I thought I had seen it—I am probably mistaking it for something else, though I honestly thought I had seen it as a TV movie.

As a previous prod stated, there was no Canadian Impressionism, just impressionists from Canada. The term was coined recently in conjunction with a book and there is no further coverage of the topic. There are sources that talk of impressionism and Canada but note that this is different. None of those sources claim that a movement ever existed, mainly because it didn't. It's a neologism used as an umbrella term for a number of Canadian artists working in the impressionist style. What little that is here in this article can be found elsewhere. There is only one source given and no other supporting sources exist, other than a few brief mentions in connection with the book. freshacconci (✉) 01:57, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • The thing about this page is that it's meant to be a discussion to which we contribute with the goal of figuring out how notable a topic is. Publishing a book of which note was taken, having pages on the Russian and French Wikipedias, and getting so many hits in searches in books and articles about espionage in the World War II era, are all indications that he is probably notable. With Blun, even a simple google search gets some interesting hits, like this CIA.gov file: [13]/html/v13i3a05p_0001.htm].IceFishing (talk) 11:23, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That CIA book was already there as a ref when I put this up for AFD. The relevant criteria for WP:GNG is significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I would argue that all the coverage is just trivial passing mentions.Mztourist (talk) 15:52, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I've added some changes to the article - found references to him in the archives of the newspaper for which he worked, as well as by Russian publications detailing Soviet spy activities during WW2. He appears to have continued being a renowned author at least up until the mid 50s, and his spy career extends to serving many different countries. Only one source found on the date of death, though, and it pegs him as dying at the age of 106 - not very likely, though plausible for a Swiss/French resident.

  • To note, the 2010 Incarnate Word, 2011 Incarnate Word, and 2012 Incarnate Word articles are about Division II football team seasons. The rest are FCS (or Division I basketball). I think these need to be separated out into individual AFDs, as a Division II football team season is significantly less notable than an FCS football team season, and a Division I men's basketball team season is a different sport entirely.

Comment Willbb234's deletion rationale is simply a link to WP:NSEASONS, which states that the amount written by reliable sources on a weekly basis for some of these programs is enough that almost anything or anyone having any relation to them is likely to meet the General Notability Guideline in relation to top-level programs. Despite not being "top-level programs", UIW, Southern, TSU, and UNA are still written about by multiple reliable, verifiable sources every week.

(edit conflict) @Willbb234: Here is Tarleton State's 2019 schedule, game-by-game on ESPN. Their season-opening upset over FCS Stephen F. Austin last season was covered in USA Today and the Tyler Morning Telegraph. They are also covered in the Stephenville Empire-Tribune - from a quick glance, I found articles detailing games (here, here, here, here, and here), articles detailing signing classes (here), rankings (here, here, here, and here), with an article detailing their upcoming 2020 schedule having been published more recently. Dave Campbell's Texas Football did an article about their win against West Texas A&M. Keep in mind that all of this is while they were a Division II team; the prevalence and quality of these sources will only increase when they begin play at the Division I level in the fall.

This is just WP:FANCRUFT. It is a train enthusiast's own project to visit all the railway stations in the United Kingdom and Ireland and this doesn't make it notable at all. The article is made up mostly of a table which tells which railway stations Geoff visited and which day he visited them. This is fancruft because it is only of importance to a small number of railway enthusiasts. This is not a very notable and well-known project and sourcing is made up of mostly the All the Stations website or the Kickstarter website. Therefore, this should be deleted.

Least used railway stations in Great Britain

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

The page is just a complete mess. There is just too much original research in compiling a list of least-used stations for each county. There are plenty of anomalies with ORR's railway statistics but it doesn't mean that it is least-used. One of ORR's old railway statistics shows Luton Airport Parkway railway station at 6 entries and exits in the 1997-1998 statistics when Luton Airport Parkway hasn't even opened until November 1999. It also shows Dunston railway station at 146 entries and exits and Newark Castle railway station at 351 entries and exits and Moorgate station at 490 entries and exits. Whilst ORR's statistics might be more accurate today; it wasn't very accurate 20 years ago. Citing ORR from 20 years ago is not a reliable source as there were a lot of anomalies at that time but a substantial amount of the article cites an unreliable source to say that they are least-used. I feel that this article needs to be deleted or complete rewritten again. Pkbwcgs (talk) 08:29, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of Your Hit Parade number-one singles (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I am proposing this list article's deletion due to the impossibility of locating reliable sources listing number-one singles from the Your Hit Parade program.

The reason no such source exists is simple: Your Hit Parade was never a singles chart, nor did it ever aspire to be. The program tabulated and presented the most popular songs of the day -- and though this distinction may seem silly, nitpicky, or negligible to the modern music fan, in the 1930s the difference was quite significant indeed.

Today, and indeed for most of the history of the music industry since the late 1950s, a hit song is associated almost exclusively with a single definitive recording by the artist who released it. This has been the case for so long that it's now difficult to imagine it having been any other way, but in fact from the inception of the music industry up through the early- to mid-1940s it was a profoundly different situation: songs came to prominence not through the release and promotion of recordings, but by performances (by numerous musicians and ensembles rather than a sole act) in vaudeville and theater, on radio broadcasts, and in film. Recordings of hit songs on 78 RPM singles tended to follow, not precede, the songs' rise to popularity, and it was not unusual for a hit song to become popular despite no noteworthy recordings of it ever being released.

Editors of this article have attempted to circumvent this reality by falsely, and without citation, claiming that the proprietary formula used by the producers of Your Hit Parade aimed to "determine the sales rankings of 78 rpm singles." In truth, it was sales of sheet music, along with radio broadcast, that appeared to be the dominant factors constituting the program's rankings; criticism of the program tended to charge that its formula in fact underrepresented 78 RPM record sales and jukebox play as indicators of song popularity. (See Popular Songs of the Twentieth Century, Volume I by Edward Foote Gardner, Paragon House, 2000, page x.) Suggesting that the listed records were the number-one "singles" during this period is therefore misleading in the extreme -- though this did not stop the editors from trying to use the program's notability to generate such a list, along with the compulsory "statistics and trivia" section that editors of charts-related Wikipedia articles unfortunately seem to adore compiling.

Apparently this was possible largely by relying on only one source (which, to the editors' credit, was at least tagged as being potentially unreliable), a self-published PDF from "Arts & Charts," which appears to be a one-man operation generating indexes of the record charts (real, imaginary, or in this case misinterpreted) in the style of Joel Whitburn's. This document, which copies its introduction section from the text of Wikipedia, appears to reproduce the actual song rankings from Your Hit Parade (though I would need to check against a reliable source to be sure) but list them with the prominent recording artists who released them as singles at the time. This effort would be one that the broadcast and recording industry historian Tim Brooks might describe, like Whitburn's deeply flawed Pop Memories tome, as having been produced for the entertainment of those who "don’t care where the numbers come from, as long as they have numbers." (See Brooks's 2001 review, published in the ARSC Journal and available online, of the Gardner title I mentioned above.)

If Your Hit Parade is not a suitable source to catalog the "number-one singles" of the period, might there be an alternative? Unfortunately, no. At the time, trade papers like Variety and Metronome tended to rank the popular tunes of the day by sheet music sales and radio broadcasts -- which makes sense given that at the time, this was a songs-, not records-oriented business. When these publications did attempt to rank top-selling records, these tended to be grouped by region or by label, often based on information provided not through surveys but by the labels themselves. Attempts to "translate" this spotty and sometimes less-than-impartial information into national "charts" that resemble what Billboard publishes today, like Whitburn's aforementioned Pop Memories, have been panned by historians like Brooks, Tim Gracyk, and Allan Sutton along with the journalist Will Friedwald. (See Brooks's 1990 review of Pop Memories in the ARSC Journal, available online; Gracyk's Popular American Recording Pioneers, The Haworth Press, 2000, page 1; Sutton's Recording the Twenties, Mainspring Press, 2008, page 307; Friedwald's "The Whitburning of Classic Pop" in The Village Voice, December 20, 1994, page 8.) The first national chart of actual record popularity in the U.S. was published by Billboard in 1940 (not coincidentally, at a time when the industry was beginning to orient itself gradually toward promoting specific recordings, rather than songs more broadly).

Can this list article be salvaged? Maybe. It would have to be 100% crystal clear that the number-one songs listed were indeed songs, not singles -- this could be done by listing not the artists proffered by the unreliable "Arts & Charts" source, but each song's songwriters and publishing company. This information could be gleaned from proper sources, like Your Hit Parade & American Top 10 Hits by Bruce C. Elrod, Popular Culture Inc., 1994, among other reference works. And of course the misguided statistics/trivia section would need to be deleted entirely.

I apologize for my long-winded and perhaps excessively detailed explanation, but I wanted to ensure that those less familiar with nuances of the early music industry and song popularity charts could understand exactly where I'm coming from.

tl;dr: This article is based on one lousy source and badly misrepresents the nature of the program it is based on. There are no suitable substitutes for American "number-one singles" of this period. Salvaging the contents of the article would require changing its topic entirely and basing it on proper sources.

This list article, along with the associated category 1930s record charts (which contains it and no other articles), should be deleted. Mmrsofgreen (talk) 04:09, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

At present the article is sourced to a single source that is clearly unreliable (it cites Wikipedia as its source). However the Your Hit Parade No. One was reported in newspapers and so-forth, and it appears that the books "Your hit parade: April 20, 1935 to June 7, 1958 : American top 10 hits, 1958-1984" and "I've heard those songs before: the weekly top ten tunes for the past fifty years" includes the No. One in its listings, and therefore if copies could be obtained the list could be populated with data from another source. In fact, I think the present source is probably copied from "Your hit parade: April 20, 1935 to June 7, 1958 : American top 10 hits".
TL;DR - A review of the sources shows that the song that was number one on Your Hit Parade was clearly considered notable. Issues with the list are fixable per WP:NEXIST. FOARP (talk) 09:19, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • As the user who proposed the deletion, I'll say that I do think the solution you describe here would be acceptable. I was not aware of the mechanics of changing an article's topic or title, merely assuming that starting over with a modified topic would require this one first being deleted; for this I apologize.
The sources you describe would be acceptable, and I think I've seen them in my local library, though I don't know how much time I will have in the near future to go through them and verify each listed song and date. I will say, though, that merely changing the article's title and subbing in a proper source would not fix the article, as it would still misrepresent the Your Hit Parade countdown as a singles, not songs, chart. References to recording artists and record labels would need to be dropped and perhaps substituted, as I noted in my original nomination, with songwriters and publishing companies. Fortunately, this information is readily available in certain reference works, including the Gardner book I mentioned (which I personally own).
Finally, if this article is kept with a modified topic/title, there would be no logical reason to stop the list at the week before Billboard debuted its record chart in 1940, as it does now. The program continued to air through 1959; the only reason the current article stops where it does is because it (falsely) presents the chart as a predecessor to the record charts that debuted in Billboard that year. (Your Hit Parade in reality could be considered a predecessor to that publication's Honor Roll of Hits listing that debuted 1945 and ran until 1963. That songs chart was actually considered the magazine's flagship and most prestigious chart for much of the time that it was published, at least until the Hot 100 came around -- however, it is seldom mentioned today precisely because it is a songs, not singles, chart, and is therefore less comprehensible by the modern Whitburn-/Hot 100-dominated conception of U.S. "chart history.") Mmrsofgreen (talk) 18:53, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
To rename an article follow the process described in WP:RM. Rescoping the article to include hits later than the ones it currently has is an article content issue to discuss on the article's talk page (or even just make your own WP:BOLD edits). WP:NODEADLINE is an important rule on Wiki so I wouldn't be concerned about not having the time right now to fix this. Having gone through the listings presently on the page, in as much as they can be confirmed form other sources, it appears accurate so I don't have any WP:V concerns. FOARP (talk) 08:48, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Mmrsofgreen PS - some additional comments regarding this article: whilst the radio show might not play the record by the artist who popularised the song that made their number one that week, it is pretty clear which artist was responsible for popularising it. For example, does anyone doubt that Glenn Miller was behind songs that he had popularised dominating the top spot in the chart for four months running in June-September 1939? Certainly the list of Glenn Miller "Top Tens" (now cited in the article) credits this to him and his band. Maybe we need to explain better in the list that this is different to simple record sales, but I think the artists who popularised the songs each week still deserve mention if this can be supported in a reliable source.

Wikieditor19920, I have been in deletion discussions a lot. Many events get attention from the media when they occur or during the trials. However, wikipedia is not a newspaper, we dont create articles for such events. Only events that will likely be notable even after 10 years from the end of the event.

Looking at the article's lead I don't see why we have a standalone article about this. A random student killed by random people and the alleged motivation is robbery, tragic, but happens all the time in the U.S., this is why I said Wikipedia is not a newspaper, we don't write standalone articles for stuff like this.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 02:14, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Black Kite This case is different than other because of the reasons I described above. It has been heavily publicized and closely followed by tens of millions of Americans.— Preceding unsigned comment added by LaraGingerbread (talkcontribs)

Keep per WP:SUSTAINED. This has been receiving ongoing, widespread coverage. BonkHindrance (talk) 02:15, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How does a story about random person who got killed by random people and the alleged motivation was robbery deserve a standalone article?--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 03:01, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
SharabSalam see WP:EXHAUST. Other editors have explained why this article is covered by WP:GNG --BonkHindrance (talk) 03:26, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
By no stretch is the coverage that this story has received "routine" as if it were only published in a crime blotter. To dismiss the degree of coverage this crime has received in national outlets over a sustained period is to ignore all relevant guidelines on deletion discussions. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 18:25, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The guidelines in WP:EVENT explicitly state that it applies even if the event was widely reported at the time. That the topic of the article has made the news is not being contested; however it is not relevant for the AfD by itself. What is the enduring significance of this specific event? --Mr. Vernon (talk) 18:29, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Depends on what you mean by "at the time". December was the time of the event, but national news outlets are still reporting on it months later. Unfortunately, that's all the time we have... we can't judge whether or not this will have enduring significance (WP:CRYSTALBALL and all that). It took years after the murder of Hagerman ffor Amber Alert to become a law. If you think we are still "at the time" in February, and apply a rule that it must have demonstrable enduring significance, we could never cover breaking news stories. Levivich 19:01, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:EVENT doesn't apply to all breaking news stories; it specifically calls out a case just like this one (a crime/death that has been widely reported on.) What I don't see is: what about this case is giving it the "enduring significance" to pass the bar? The news articles have a burst of coverage around the time of the death in December, and around the time of the recent arrests. It's hardly enduring when there was a two month gap with no real press coverage. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 19:15, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your argument gets to "making the news" and stops there, as if that's a reason for exclusion. This falls far short of the careful consideration required in deletion discussions. Mere recitations of buzzwords like "breaking news" and "bursts of coverage" without reference to facts are not proper arguments.
In addition to mischaracterizing the coverage as "routine," you are glossing over key criteria: WP:DEPTH, WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, and WP:DIVERSE sources. The murder has been the subject of multiple in-depth pieces, including in the NYT, which compared it to the Central Park Five case. The coverage in national, reliable outlets has been sustained since the crime first occurred in December (the most recent Times piece was two days ago and is several pages long, far more than any routine announcement. There was no "two-month gap" in press coverage. Stories and developments were periodically reported on (heavily) throughout January.It has been covered in local and national outlets from the Daily News to the New York Times to CNN International and CBS, among many others. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 19:40, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK Vern let's look at EVENT real closely. "Enduring significance" is not a requirement under EVENT. It's just WP:EVENTCRIT#1, there's also WP:EVENTCRIT#2: Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards (as described below). EVENTCRIT also guides us that In evaluating an event, editors should evaluate various aspects of the event and the coverage: the impact, depth, duration, geographical scope, diversity and reliability of the coverage, as well whether the coverage is routine. These factors are described below.
Impact: WP:LASTING This is the "enduring significance" part. It's true that it's too soon to judge whether this event is LASTING. However, LASTING says It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect. This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable.
Depth: WP:DEPTH is not a problem. There are feature stories in national outlets like Time magazine, USA Today, LATimes, WaPo, CNN, Fox News, all three networks (CBS, NBC, ABC)... no major news outlet has not run in-depth (feature-length) coverage of this story.
Duration: WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE: We have coverage throughout December, January, and February.
Geographical scope: WP:GEOSCOPE: Time, USA Today, CNN, etc., are national. LATimes and WaPo also shows national interest. Wide geographic scope.
Diversity: WP:DIVERSE Every major national news outlet, plus every local outlet, has covered this story; it's not just one newspaper or one media company.
Reliability: WP:RS: Wall Street Journal, New York Times, WaPo, NBC... these are all reliable sources.
Routine: WP:ROUTINE is things such as announcements, sports, speculative coverage, and tabloid journalism ... Planned coverage of scheduled events ... Wedding announcements, sports scores, crime logs ... sports matches, film premieres, press conferences ... Run-of-the-mill events—common, everyday, ordinary items that do not stand out. This is none of these (see my !vote above for the unique aspects of the facts of this case, in particular it's similarity to Central Park Five).
This passes EVENTCRIT. Levivich 19:46, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK, let's go over this.
The Central Park Five case is especially notable because the teenagers originally charged did not commit the crime; it was committed by someone else, the convictions vacated and the teenagers sued, rightfully so. In the case we are discussing, there hasn't even been a conviction yet; in fact much of yesterday was spent removing the names of suspects from the article to the point where multiple editors intervened and two actions (WP:EWN and WP:ANI) brought against an editor. The similarities boil down to a young white woman attacked in New York City, and teenagers were charged. Even if they were closer in other ways, WP:OTHERSTUFF. I'm not making the "all or nothing" argument here, we should consider things on a case by case basis. But this argument is just WP:OTHERSTUFF which is not a good argument to be making in AfD.
Depth, diversity, (national) scope, reliability: Besides WP:NOTNEWS, see WP:109PAPERS (which is an essay, not policy or even a guideline); the articles published on February 15th from five different sources (CNN, NYTimes, USA Today, Columbia Spectator, and NBC) are substantially identical coverage of the same event in this case (the arrest of a suspect.) That is not surprising, if something is in the news, then most newspapers will carry an article about it, either from the wires or having a staff writer work on it. That doesn't confer inherent notability.
Duration: There was heavy coverage when the crime happened in December. There has been heavy coverage in the past few days due to arrests. Coverage in January appears to be light, due an arrest early in the month. Again, not surprising if you look at this as a news story; there was not much to discuss. It's barely been two months since the attack and we don't have a WP:CRYSTALBALL to know if we have the duration of coverage beyond the initial attack and news developments as they come out. That doesn't sound like duration; that sounds like what you'd expect from the news cycle from most stories, such as routine crime stories per WP:EVENT.
Again, this is an AfD; it does not mean that there cannot be an article on this case if it does meet the criteria for WP:EVENT in the future. I don't see anything about this case given what we know that indicates that this will change, and since notability is not temporary per WP:NTEMP, we should take an approach to determine whether the notability of this case is permanent. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 21:00, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore Missing white woman syndrome is an input here. She is getting significant coverage because she's a young attractive white woman. I've linked to other pages about crime victims and events, both here and in the main article's talk page; those all have lasting significance; the reasons are different for each. Sometimes even a missing person's story like Maura Murray takes on a life of its own. I think those cases easily meet the bar of lasting significance. Note what I am not saying is that this case won't have lasting significance. It's too soon to tell. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 14:55, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Mr. Vernon—the phenomenon of "missing white woman syndrome" doesn't have bearing on which articles are kept or deleted. Bus stop (talk) 05:55, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Levivich: Well done. This is proper analysis w/ the relevant policy applied. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 19:59, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We know why this one killing shocks. I can only presume what's being suggested here. Any editor who openly disregards the guidelines on AfD discussions, which relate to sourcing and notability, and instead chooses to make wildly inappropriate suggestions about the race of the victim/accusers being relevant or other similarly off-topic considerations should be issued a warning. It is not the job of WP editors to offer their own analysis of events, and especially not in an AfD discussion. The keep votes have clearly and definitively established that the GNG criteria have been met. The discussion should end there, before this further devolves into a socio-political debate. WP:NOTFORUM. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 17:57, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Further, this is not the appropriate forum to dispute past consensus on article moves. WP:FORUMSHOPPING. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wikieditor19920, I said absolutely nothing about race and said nothing about a past consensus and sure as Hell am not FORUMSHOPPING. I made a !vote based on WP:NOTNEWS, which, AFAIK, I'm allowed to do. And no, discussion should not be halted after you are satisfied. WP:CIV O3000 (talk) 18:08, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Really? What did you mean to suggest by We know why this one killing shocks.? What do we "know?" And you are referencing a topic, the use of murder in the title, which a) we have already had a consensus on which you are aware of because of your participation there, and b) the title of an article has nothing to do with whether it should be considered for deletion. And finally, WP:NOTNEWS, applies to routine coverage. It is borderline tendentious to suggest that the level of coverage this subject's received is routine, as if all we were relying on here were a local crimeblotter.

Editors beliefs about why this has been treated as significant are not relevant, only that it has been treated as significant. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 19:24, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The logic here is hopelessly flawed. Most murders are not notable. This is a murder. Therefore, it's probably not notable. What distinguishes this crime is national and sustained coverage in reliable sources. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 15:50, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Pile on Amakuru! compared to similar events ... can you name one? nor is it of any lasting significance ... how do you know? Levivich (lulz) 15:59, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Levivich The EVENT guideline states that Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.. Now what enduring significance does this murder have? Any laws enacted? Anything changed in the future due to this murder? Of course, it is tragic, but it is just routine coverage of a murder. Wikipedia does not cover every murder, wikinews does. There were multiple suspects, so it is routine for newspapers to cover each suspects arrest, which were weeks apart. Hence, the 12 week coverage. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 18:22, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
MistyGraceWhite—you are saying "There were multiple suspects, so it is routine for newspapers to cover each suspects arrest, which were weeks apart. Hence, the 12 week coverage." You may not be appreciating the full enormity of the incident. Tessa Majors is no longer alive but the 3 young suspects are facing the possibility of tragic lives if they are found culpable for the death of the victim. At the risk of sounding melodramatic there may be 4 "victims" in the incident reported about in this article. And the impact on the lives of the 3 suspects may be ongoing.
