This page meets guidelines, and Earyn McGee is a prominent science communicator. She is well known in the scicomm community for her popular #FindThatLizard game, and played an important role in #BlackBirdersWeek. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:240:8301:52F0:FDDD:A20D:5602:D17B (talk) 02:40, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This page meets guidelines and has significant impact and influence in the science community. Deletion seems highly inappropriate


This person is a credible scientific professional and has made herself known on the Twitter platform with evidence of her scientific position. I believe they should remain on Wikipedia as they appear to be an influential individual in the science community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaylaAdanero (talkcontribs) 02:30, 7 June 2020 (UTC) This page should not be deleted.

Earyn McGee is a professional with a strong following and media presence and is becoming a well-known outreach personality. She’s known enough to have people want to learn more about her so it makes sense for Wikipedia to be a source.[reply]

This page should not be deleted. Earyn McGee is a highly respected professional in the scientific community and deserves her work to be promoted within her Wikipedia page for all to see.

She is also an advocate for diversity in STEM. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:900A:1C14:5100:A1D4:5DA:7D57:D4FF (talk) 02:27, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Earyn easily exceeds notability guidelines. I am part of the scientific community and can confirm this fact. Savie Kumara (meow) 02:28, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Earyn’s integral role in organizing and running the first ever Black Birders Week is historically significant. Across multiple social media platforms, Black Birders Week garnered tens of thousands of views globally, including record-breaking viewership from their live streams with the National Audubon Society. Similarly, the role of Anna Gifty and Corina Newsome in this historic initiative warrants them all inclusion on designated Wikipedia pages chronicling their achievements and backgrounds.

Non-notable pornographic actress. And per all the reasons I've listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eva Lovia, particularly the established consensus through linked AfDs and DRVs, that pornographic actresses lacking sufficient mainstream media coverage and awards, or meeting WP:N by some other criteria, should be deleted. Consistently, pages of people whose best achievement is along the lines of Penthouse Pet of the Month have been deleted. This actress' page only has AVN citations. She hasn't won a major AVN, and lacks notability. ProcrasinatingReader (talk) 23:42, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm relying on precedents in previous AfDs and DRVs. Most the sources on this page are from AVN. Lovia has little coverage in WP:RS, or at least no more than other stars who have been consistently found to fail WP:N. So per 2017 precedent in this AfD, backed by this DRV and this AfD, and reiterated in 2019, after WP:PORNBIO was scrapped by RfC, in this AfD and established as speedy delete in this AfD, despite being very popular for the 2nd and 3rd nominations of AfD, as noted at this DRV.

In conclusion, I think sufficient precedent exists to note that this individual is equally notable as the ones consistently found to not meet WP:N. I'd add that she doesn't qualify under receiving awards. She has won none, unlike others that were found to meet deletion policy.

I'd like to add that I don't necessarily agree with deletion of such articles. I feel current Wikipedia policies are skewed to favour removing pornographic actors/actresses, and this skewing creates a weird situation where you have household names that fail to meet the notability policy and are deleted, while some who only meet technical notability remain on Wikipedia with stub articles. Nevertheless, per established policy, I believe this should be deleted. ProcrasinatingReader (talk) 23:12, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Protests of 2019[edit]

Protests of 2019 (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)

Per previous AfD nomination and talkpage comments since then: this article does not document a true phenomenon. The limited scholarly coverage is either speculation, focuses on certain regions, or debates the possibility of an attitude towards protests, without any certainty. Since the last AfD, it has been built on, but not improved. It now connects more unrelated protests indiscriminately, and is falling foul of WP:NOTCATALOG. The final motivation for nominating at AfD now is the addition of information regarding the Twin Cities riots. Note, the information is only about the riots, not protests, and is obviously unconnected in every way: occurring in 2020 in a world very different to the one left behind by any protests in 2019, and motivated by a racist murder rather than whatever global discontent is the supposed connection between the rest. The addition of this indicates that this article obviously has no connecting thread and is being used as an unnecessary catalog of protests. Kingsif (talk) 20:55, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like an argument that you could make and get published. I'm not convinced either way but it is certainly arguable and I'm not here to tell you that you are wrong. The problem is that Wikipedia is not the place to make that argument. We need external reliable sources to have already made all the links and declared that this alleged global wave of protests was actually a global wave of linked protests. We can't synthesise this for ourselves. I had a look at the two links you give. The BBC article about dissatisfaction with democracy doesn't mention protest at all and the CNBC one only mentions it in a picture caption and not the article text. So, no, these articles do not support claims of a protest wave themselves. --DanielRigal (talk) 16:08, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I beg to differ. Firstly, this is an ongoing debate as the existence of this page has been challenged, so I have every right to make an argumentative point here; asides, I am trying to reason you (and everyone else who may be like-minded) why this page should remain up and running online. Secondly, there actually has been reports of similarity not only formed by whoever started this article (and the contributors that follow), but also establishments by reliable resources as well. Several outlets such as The New Yorker, Voice of America, and NBC to name a few, have already begun acknowledging and agreeing on certain common motives and roots for these conflicts. In this case, the protests discussed in this page have underlying roots tracing back to demands for governmental reform and more political transparency. This is the same notion that goes with the Protests of 1968; they may seem unrelated and sporadic at first glance, but eventually does get to have underlying connections once uncovered. It's only because of the recent occurrences of these protests that may obscure their string of similarity for now. Azurevanilla ash (talk) 06:16, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
When I search for "Global Protest Wave of 2019" in Google Scholar I get just one hit and zero hits in Google Newspapers. Of course I get some hits for "protests of 2019" because there were protests in 2019, some of them notable ones, but I'm not seeing anything to link them in a "global protest wave" or to suggest that 2019 was extraordinary in this respect, even if it had more protests than average. In fact, I'm far from convinced of that. I tried counting raw hits in Google Scholar and the results are not encouraging:
"Protests of 2014": 224
"Protests of 2015": 425
"Protests of 2016": 122
"Protests of 2017": 63
"Protests of 2018": 15
"Protests of 2019": 40
(Average = 148)
Even if we assume that some articles about events in 2019 might still be working through their publication process, this is deeply unimpresive. If there is no shortage of sources for this alleged wave then I'm certainly not finding them. Maybe the article is misnamed? Does this wave of protests have some other name? What should we be searching for in order to find all these scholarly articles about the alleged global wave of protests if not the two titles given in the article? If this is a real thing, like the Arab Spring or the fall of Communist Europe, then I'll happily withdraw my delete !vote but I'm not seeing anything to support this. As I say, maybe I am looking in entirely the wrong places. Where should I be looking instead? --DanielRigal (talk) 15:41, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is 2020 now and there is nothing to link those protests to the overall narrative here which relates to 2019. There will always be protests, every single year. If you choose to link them all then this "wave" started way before 2019 and if you don't choose to link them, except when there is a demonstrable link, then here is no single wave phenomenon for this article to be about. Unless police brutality against black people in the USA started in 2019 (It didn't!) then it does not fit into the narrative that this article is pushing. Of course, it does fit onto the overall history of police brutality against black people in the USA, and it is right that we cover that extensively as it is a large and serious topic, but that is not what this particular article is about and we have other, better, articles for that. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:44, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@DanielRigal: Don't worry, Daniel, when someone comes to close this they will look at the arguments, not just the number of !votes, and see that there's nothing saying 'keep' with any sense attached. Kingsif (talk) 00:12, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Second the view that the 2020 BLM Protests are in fact very good evidence of why there was no joint, global 2019 wave of protests and so this article should be deleted. We can clearly identify where and how the 2020 protests began, they are clearly described as a single global phenomenon in reliable sources, they are not a continuation of what happened in 2019 because we know their cause happened this year, and claims that they are instead highlight that 2019 was really no different to any other year in having protests at various places in the world that shared some themes and differed in other ways. This article is basically a bunch of WP:OR, WP:SYNTH. FOARP (talk) 14:55, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • A classic example of the major issue: that source is nothing more than a list of all the major protests, and does not attempt to connect them as one movement, or it would have said that. Lots of protests happen every year, more in 2019 than most, but it's not a thing. Kingsif (talk) 16:38, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, all list articles have to also have a good connection as justification for the standalone list article existing. Otherwise, make articles for all the notable entries and use categorization. E.g. there is no 'Films of 2019' article. Also, such a title would suggest that there is something about the films released in 2019 that connects them, like 'Films of the New Wave' or something - not including list in the article title suggests that the subject is a topic. There is also no 'List of films released in 2019' article, because there is no justification for having such a list. Before you mention it, 2019 in film exists, but is not a random list of films, it's an overview of the industry in that year. Kingsif (talk) 01:52, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • there is no rule that says Protests of 2019 cannot be based on the same notability standard as 2019 in film, or that it needs to be in a timeline format just to have validity as an article. this article Protests in 2019 is no different in validity than 2019 in film; it simply uses a narrative encyclopedic format, rather than a timeline format. kind of appropriate, since this is an encyclopedia, wouldn't you say? and also, this is at least as notable as Friends (season 1), which, naturally does have its very own full-fledged entry here. --Sm8900 (talk) 04:06, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are many articles published in newspapers making comparisons between various things. To pick some obvious examples, Brexit and Trump are often compared, as were Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders. That this was done is not evidence that they are part of linked phenomena sufficiently notable for an article. Populist wave was quite sensible simply redirected to Populism as that was what is being discussed. Similarly, what is being discussed here is the general subject of protest, not something that began or indeed ended in 2019.FOARP (talk) 12:32, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

and of course, climate change has caused Young People Lead Millions To Protest Global Inaction On Climate Change. but the whole populist movement has its roots in the worldwide displacement of refugees due to the regional conflicts of the Arab Spring. and also, please don't foreget that More than 500 arrested after protests and clashes as India water crisis worsens, in June 2019; Millions of people are running out of usable water in the southern Indian city of Chennai, which is experiencing major droughts and a rapidly worsening water crisis.

Skiing doesn't have an SNG to use as a rough guide to notability, so we have to go by WP:GNG, per WP:SPORTCRIT. I have done a reasonably thorough BEFORE search (for an English speaker), and I have found no in-depth sources about the subject. There were only trivial mentions and listings on sports statistics pages. As the subject is now retired, it is unlikely that any further in-depth sources will emerge. Per SPORTCRIT, Trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources...is not sufficient to establish notability; we cannot maintain this article on the basis of stat pages. ♠PMC(talk) 21:42, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I actually did search with Google switched to pulling German-language results, and I simply found no in-depth content about him. Everything I found was just stat pages and result reports that included a single sentence along the lines of "Maximilian Pupp did XYZ" with no elaboration. The best source I found was this [1] short piece in Münchner Merkur, which is basically a fluff piece about COVID19 affecting skiing, with some quotes from Pupp. It's still not content about him or his career. There's no content that gets us past SPORTCRIT, which requires more than just stat pages, no matter what his performance level was. ♠PMC(talk) 18:59, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Closing as keep per WP:SNOW. Consensus is clear and there is little benefit to keeping the discussion open, considering the amount of disruption and interpersonal sniping that has already taken place.

This AfD has received significant attention, well above and beyond normal, due to the AfD being shared on social media. Several participants on both sides of the discussion appear to have come to Wikipedia solely for this AfD and, as such, were unfamiliar with how the process works and made arguments that were based on preference rather than policy (the governing policy being notability).

The overwhelming majority of participants that based their arguments on relevant policy came to the conclusion that the subject of the article meets WP:BASIC. There was some concern that she is not independently notable of The Sadie Collective (i.e. WP:BLP1E), and that the coverage was not substantially focused on her, however the majority of participants felt that WP:BASIC was met.

I have posted at WP:AN for a review of this closure. (non-admin closure) The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 10:09, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Heya, not sure what you're trying to accuse(?) me of, but I noticed some "liked by" tweets in my feed about some new Wikipedia articles - check my edit history, I just clean up and expand Wikipedia articles related to plants, animals, and articles associated with plants and animals, like herpetologists, ornithologists, etc. —Hyperik talk 22:42, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm not sure what "the presence of common editors" is meant to indicate beyond the fact that these are similar articles, and that somebody interested in one is likely to be interested in others.

  • Don't worry about the mistaken identity. But about WP:BASIC, I wasn't aware that this is how we interpret it. After all, what do we have the "additional criteria" for then? --bender235 (talk) 23:08, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • GNG covers everything as sort of a catch all if a subject doesn't meet a subject specific guideline. The subject specific guidelines are there as heuristics for stuff that is probably notable even if sourcing can't be found immediately. So for instance a football player who plays for a professional league will meet WP:FOOTY even if they don't meet the GNG (ie we can't find 3-5 sources covering the subject in detail) because it is likely that the sources are out there or that they will be soon enough. So if someone meets WP:ACADEMIC we don't need them to meet the GNG because we assume that a concerted enough search will find that they do. I hope that makes sense. I wish GNG were clearer about it and that it were policy but I've fought both of those fights for a long time before and don't care to repeat them. :) Protonk (talk) 23:20, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Furthermore, meatpuppets inserting themselves into this discussion can clearly be observed being sourced from the article subject's own Twitter page here: https://twitter.com/itsafronomics/status/1269378825894408194 https://twitter.com/itsafronomics/status/1269404604040699904 Geeferino (talk) 23:23, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I share Geeferino's concern about being doxxed by subject's twitter mob. I am forth year PhD student in Economics at US university and I am sick and tired of seeing undergraduate research assistants and early-career academics using Wikipedia for self-promotion. I am long-term, albeit infrequent Wikipedia contributor, but I had to create a new account to participate in this delete discussion. As several people noted above, the subject in question (1) is not an academic economist, (2) is not a graduate student, and (3) have zero peer-reviewed publications. I welcome the desire to celebrate subjects activism and her social media activity, which justifies the existence of the Black Birders Week article, but not their personal article. Most information in the article under debate comes from subject's Twitter account, blog posts here and there, etc. The "Early life and education" and "Career" sections paint a fictitious picture of subject's contribution to the field of Economics, which is exactly none so far. --HRMbruh (talk) 23:47, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No one gets to decide that some people can meet WP:BASIC while others have to meet a stricter standard. If a subject meets WP:BASIC, they're notable. Also your examples completely ignore coverage in NPR and Star Tribune. gobonobo + c 23:41, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't aware of the Star Tribune coverage, thanks. But the question of whether we should apply WP:BASIC or WP:ACADEMIC raises an interesting point: why is the subject portrayed as an academic, instead of an activist (which primarily seems to be her claim to fame)? I'm talking about the ((Infobox Academic)), the categorization in Category:Ghanaian women economists, the detailed listings of academic fellowships (none of which verified, neither in the NYT, WSJ, or Star Tribune articles), etc. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but someone with the intention to get a graduate degree shouldn't be labelled an academic prematurely. --bender235 (talk) 23:51, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think that's a totally valid topic of discussion for the article's talk page. It might even be relevant here if the sole claim to notability was based on WP:ACADEMIC. But since that isn't the case, arguments that "she's not an academic" really don't have anything to do with passing GNG or BASIC and should be discounted by the closing admin. It doesn't matter what someone's claim to fame is as long as there are reliable sources with significant coverage. gobonobo + c 00:56, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Gobonobo: it seems we found a common ground then after all. My issue was mostly with the fact that parts of the article are unverified puffery and claims of academic status, when (at best) we are talking about someone intending to get a graduate degree. If the article is rewritten in the mold of other hashtag activist bios, say Isis Anchalee or Ayakha Melithafa, I wouldn't entirely oppose keeping it. --bender235 (talk) 01:21, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'm pretty allergic to hagiographies and self-promotion myself. I'm sure we can find a balanced way to approach this biography.

Since none of the relevant sources (NY Times, WSJ, etc.) talk primarily about the subject, but rather mention her in passing when describing The Sadie Collective, or Black Birders Week, isn't the immediate consequence that now everybody involved in these activist/student projects deserves a Wikipedia article, e.g. The Sadie Collective#Staff? It's a serious question, since the "trivial coverage" clause of WP:BASIC seems to have been rendered moot at this point. --bender235 (talk) 02:14, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your thoughts, and the serious question you ask. You are right to ask it. If someone has co-founded not one but two public and widely-known social initiatives, coauthored an opinion piece in the NY Times, and been either interviewed or discussed in national-scale media on several occasions (see Google news search in relation to the present case), I would be comfortable with that being a standard of general notability, thereby deserving a Wikipedia article.

And that was just from a quick first two pages of a Google search for things prior to the last week. I could likely dive much deeper for more. From the Sadie Collective to the Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander Conference for Economics and Related Fields, the subject clearly has been involved in making organizations and events that have brought them notability in the press and elsewhere. It seems pretty clear to me that notability is established for the subject, even prior to this week's events. SilverserenC 02:41, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The same group of weird overzealous identity politickers have appeared on the discussions for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Earyn_McGee and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Corina_Newsome, egged on by the same circle of social media influencers that have been meatpuppeting this article such as Imogene Cancellare. Twitter is not real life, people. Starting a popular hashtag isn't something that gets commemorated with a Wikipedia article. I merely tagged both of those pages with the same tags I did on this page and stopping thinking about it, and there was a whole race baiting tribunal that took place in the interim between then and now.

Given the current political situation, there is no doubt that the nominations were racist. Whether the article should be permanently kept is immaterial - supporting racists is fundamentally wrong and brings Wikipedia into disrepute. Nfitz (talk) 04:11, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The two other AfDs were speedily kept; we can't do that with this AfD because other, legitimate, editors have written comments in favor of deletion. Vermont (talk) 04:34, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Peteforsyth: nope, because the "trivial coverage" clause in WP:BASIC hasn't been addressed yet. As I've mentioned before, none of the relevant sources are primarily about the subject. All they do is mention her in passing as the student organisations and/or activist groups are being described. Also, in the words of Sulfurboy, "any admin worth their salt will see past meat and spa votes" that are only here because the subject sent her 8,000+ Twitter followers our way. --bender235 (talk) 04:06, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Bender235: Can you explain how the sources I gave up above are trivial coverage and/or not about the subject in question? Also, considering this AfD (and the other two) were made by a group of SPAs from the EJMR forum, I don't think that means much for this discussion. SilverserenC 04:08, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Why User:Bender235 continue a discussion from a blocked sock-puppet that appears to be created out of bias? This discussion needs to end asap. Nfitz (talk) 04:11, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't care who created this AfD and why, I came here first to fix the missing AfD templates, then to reason my opinion like any other Wikipedian would. Step of your moral high horse for a second, and instead of accusing others of racism ask yourself why you want to quench this discussion at any cost. --bender235 (talk) 04:26, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hang on User:Bender235, you just said that you don't care that the creation of this AFD was racist? Surely that's a big problem. There's no doubt that there is a lot of racism in that particular country, and it's hard to believe that it's just a coincidence that a newly created sockpuppet just happened to pick articles for three black Americans to try and delete. Sometimes one needs to cry about racism - and one should never support racism, inadvertently or not. This is not the time to be dying on the hill of protecting the rights of racist editors. Nfitz (talk) 04:43, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not giving up on WP:GF yet, so no, I do not assume racism being the motivation for this AfD. And I'm not here to "protect a racist editor," but to uphold the Wikipedia standards of notability. And before you ask, I have been holding this stance for a long time. I suggest you pause for a moment and look past the Twitter incited outrage. --bender235 (talk) 04:50, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Had this just been a sock-puppet and a black women, then yet, AGF - as unlikely as it would be. But then go and nominate the articles of two other black women for deletion, when the very racist nation that they are from is on the brink of civil war over race issues? At some point, you have to accept that the nomination was racist. Keeping this grossly racist nomination now, doesn't preclude applying WP:NORUSH and examining it in more detail later when people are calmer, and people aren't dying in the streets. Nfitz (talk) 05:20, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Bender235 I am surprised, this doesn't seem to align too well with what you said above. But no matter. I strongly disagree with your interpretation of how the source materials match up with policy. The Wall Street Journal is a major publication, and clearly presents the subject as significant. (Shame about the paywall, but that doesn't diminish its value as a source.) Silverseren's list is valuable as well; I have access to some, but not all, of those sites, and they are substantially to the notability claim. This is not a borderline case. She's notable. There are some open questions about how to cover her, but there is really no legitimate question of whether we can cover her. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 04:22, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, that's what you meant. Okay. But as I said, the WSJ article, just as the NY Times article mentions the subject in passing at most. The sources cited in the existing article for almost all the relevant biographical facts are self-published blogs, alumni newsletters, or interviews. That might serve as WP:RS for verification purposes, but not to establish "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources." --bender235 (talk) 04:30, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, I wholeheartedly agree with this opinion. If the article is kept, it should be made clear that the subject is notable for her hashtag activism, not academic status. Almost none of the listed fellowships and awards are reliable sourced. For instance, the source in this sentence, She currently works at Harvard University as a Research Scholar in Economics, a "non-degree granting post-baccalaureate program that provides mentored research and training for individuals interested in pursuing doctoral studies."[1], doesn't even mention her name. A lot of what's currently in this article needs to be double-checked. --bender235 (talk) 04:37, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While I can't speak for the nominator, I understood the rational to be WP:SELFPROMO. --bender235 (talk) 04:40, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Which is a refuted argument, since we know the article subject didn't make the article. SilverserenC 04:44, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying the rational was correct. Just that this appeared to be the rational. As a side note, though, WP:SELFPROMO includes "anybody you know," which may or may not include Twitter friends. --bender235 (talk) 04:54, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi bender235, thank you for the comment. I think you're right that that's probably the rationale we should be organising the discussion around (and, as Silver seren points out, I think it would make the discussion much easier because it doesn't look like that rationale holds up in this case). It would have been very helpful to have this discussion with a clear rationale put forward, and with merge and even redirect being more seriously considered -- notable topics don't necessarily merit their own pages, so why aren't we talking about putting a lot of the content on this page onto a different page instead? I would still vote to keep the page, but I think that's a much more sensible alternative than delete. And while I totally appreciate that this is a good faith disagreement that arbitrarily experienced editors can fall on either side of, it was really surprising to me to hear that there are differences of opinion about WP:BASIC/WP:GNG alone being enough to merit coverage on Wikipedia. WP:N says "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline below" or the more specific guidelines. WP:NACADEMIC says "Academics meeting none of these conditions may still be notable if they meet the conditions of WP:BIO or other notability criteria." In the more than 100 academic bios I've written it's never crossed my mind that it could be WP:NACADEMIC or bust. I think that part of this conversation should also be split off and held somewhere at a much higher level than a specific deletion discussion. With all of the detritus on this page and the sockpuppeting and strikeouts and everything, this is one legendary oldschool WP mess. - Astrophobe (talk) 04:51, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your point about WP:NACADEMIC. But the obvious consequence is that the article should reflect the fact that the subject is not an academic. --bender235 (talk) 04:54, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I see! I have two thoughts about that. The first is that notability is a property of topics, not pages; notability is not conditional on how a page is written. For sure we should all WP:BB the page until it reflects the topic's notability. Having said that, the second is that I actually think the page strongly forefronts her activism and nonprofit work, and to me it doesn't really read like an academic bio at all, but more like an activist's bio. Anyhow, now I've said my piece and I think this is the right moment for me to step out and refocus on mainspace work. Thanks for the discussion! - Astrophobe (talk) 05:03, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • So the organization she created is notable, but she isn't? Is this some sort of variant of the debunked deletion argument regarding authors with notable books and that somehow not conferring notability? Also, there's a ton of references discussing her that isn't about the Sadie Collective, but about other organizations and events she created. SilverserenC 05:30, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good point, I seem to have conflated her organization and her own work since they have the same thrust. I also acknowledge my bias as an academic economist, so I might have discounted her as just a research assistant. I do have some suggestions for the article that I have indicated on the talk page that involves clarification and deleting extraneous detail. Peace out.

  • I would say it depends on whether or not the books were officially licensed books. If they were, I don't think that would make them any more independent than any of the other licensed material that was not published by Hasbro themselves, such as the comics, fictional books, etc. The second one's title makes it sound like they were an "official" book, but its hard to tell from the information on Google books if that was actually the case, or if that's just what the called the book. Though, that seems to be a bit of a moot point in this case, as the content from the book I am able to see is neither substantial nor does it indicate any independent notability.

Fails WP:NSOLDIER, as only a brevet general (honorary appointment, not the same thing as an actual promotion), was only officially a colonel. Seems to be a GNG failure too, albeit a close-ish one. Gets a paragraph in Eicher's Civil War High Commands [5], but the coverage consists only of a listing of where he was assigned during the American Civil War. The "National Cyclopaedia of American Biography" [6] gives him a very nice writeup, but we need more than that. The rest of the coverage I can find is in blogs, find-a-grave (unreliable), primary source government military reports (primary sources do not establish notability), and a website titled "antietam on the web" that seems to be self-published/blog.

Comment - 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) 13:49, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware this recently resulted in a Keep non-admin closure since it was over the minimum 7 days. It only had two editors (Reywas92 and Lightburst) commenting. The first states that "significant coverage" exists and the second supported this although didn't make any comment. Having examined the sources, none are even remotely close to meeting the criteria for establishing notability.

I am unable to locate a single reference that meets the criteria for notability, topic fails GNG/NCORP. HighKing++ 19:12, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As per WP:ORGIND, a reference must contain original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Including snippets from interviews or quotations doesn't automatically mean a reference fails the criteria for establishing notability, but these articles contain no other information and fail to provide any Independent Content.

In relation to the new references mentioned above. The "book" was published by visitindiana who also published one of the videos. The book is aimed at tourists (no problems so far) and contains a single paragraph on the company that mainly describes the novelty shapes and flavours and encourages people to attend the "fascinating free tour". Contains zero information on the actual company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH. The videos are promotional videos. This short (1:33) video was posted by visitindiana and is a camera tour of children visiting the factory store and clips of lots of candy. There is only a music track. It is entirely promotional and says nothing about the company, fails both WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH. The next video is a PRIMARY source and was posted by the company. The final video was posted by "a family travel vlog] and fails as a [[WP:RS|reliable source]. HighKing++ 11:43, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Don't turn this into a damn refbomb of every tiny little mention. It's not encyclopedic to note that a company has a website and social media, how effing mundane in 2020. This was a bare passing mention in [16] with no discussion or evidence of meaningfulness whatsoever. Don't give me this "learned journal" nonsense and show some critical analysis not a blind inclusion anything that notes the name. Ridiculous that I had to remove a random person's TripAdvisor review too. And HighKing is right, "Santos Chronicles" isn't a newspaper, it's a random person's vlog. Just because an article has more sources and links doesn't mean it's any better. Reywas92Talk 18:11, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Reywas92:. my own unsolicited opinion is that a few primary and or promotional items can be useful for our readers to gain perspective on the operations. We do have other SIGCOV to denote notability. To that end I have re-added the promotional video tour of the retail shop. I am pleased with the progress, and hope that we can collaborate to improve the article instead of being combative. I appreciate you and your editorial abilities.

There is no significant, reliable coverage about this show anywhere on the web. Its sole claim to fame is running for a few years on a TV network of only middling importance.

I'm not certain that this is a notable endeavor independent from The 1619 Project, which it criticizes. Such sources as can be found only discuss this as a reaction to the 1619 Project, and I'm not seeing coverage of this project's writings on their own merits. Moreover, many sources about this topic are of the op-ed type. Those cited in the article are mostly from the Washington Examiner, which participates in this project and is therefore not an independent source, or from more questionable Internet outlets.

This article is very incomplete, and has been incomplete since it was created in 2018. Most of the monthly headings refer to January 2010, which indicates that no one has even tried to complete the article. Information on storms is available on individual storm articles, in the articles on storms in years in each of the seven basins, and in an overall list article.

Completenessness is a requirement for featured status and those so few articles which have reached that level have been formally agreed to be complete.

*Draftify. There is absolutely no reason why to delete an article just because it needs a little improvement. I propose that we move this to Draft:Tropical cyclones in 2010 or Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/2010 so we can all work on it together. @Robert McClenon:, I'm sorry if I was being harsh and/or violating WP:NPA on your talk page. 🐔 Chicdat ChickenDatabase 13:02, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Moving to draft space would be counter-productive because the main effect of that space is to stop people from finding the page. Its categories would be munged and search engines would not see it. And there's no special staff assigned to work on drafts; they get less attention than articles in mainspace. Draftification is just disruption, adding no value and putting obstacles in the way of improvement. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:01, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The thing is I'm not sure the information currently present in the article is even accurate, and if it isn't the article probably shouldn't stay in mainspace. The storm effects section appears to rely on information from the individual season pages, but some of the numbers don't even match. The graphical timeline constitutes original research as the Australian intensity scale isn't applicable outside of the Australian region and the South Pacific. I understand where you're coming from, but personally I'd prefer to move conflicting/invalid information out of mainspace until it can be resolved. In the spirit of WP:SOFIXIT I may try addressing these myself if I can find the time. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 14:53, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this photographer has done plenty of work, but doesn't have anything that meets WP:ARTIST or WP:JOURNALIST. The article is essentially unreferenced. Lots of external links to stories/photo-essays that the subject was involved with, many are dead links. The remainder are articles that Chin wrote himself. Seems a little grand and self-promoting.

The result was Withdrawn. I procedurally renominated the article to see if consensus could be achieved if participation was limited to perspectives from outside the Balkans topic area. But so far, nobody has offered such a perspective, and multiple editors have expressed concerns about my approach. That's why I conclude that this AfD is unlikely to result in a consensus either, and therefore I am withdrawing it. This means that the "no consensus" outcome of the previous two AfDs is where we're at for now. Sandstein 06:58, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

The previous two AfDs reached no consensus about whether this article should be deleted as original research by synthesis. People strongly disagreed about whether there are reliable sources that establish that these massacres took place. My impression is that the personal association of many editors with one country or another from the Balkans influenced the views they expressed.

I'm therefore trying something new: I'm procedurally renominating the article, but with the following WP:AC/DS restriction, per WP:ARBEE#Standard discretionary sanctions: Editors associated with the Balkans may not edit this page. They may also not participate in any deletion review of this discussion. (Edit: The same restriction applies to editors who are not extended confirmed per WP:ECP, as enforced by page protection.)

For the purposes of this sanction, an editor is deemed to be associated with the Balkans if their username or user page indicates or previously indicated any connection to a place in the Balkans, or if they have made recent substantive edits to any page related to the Balkans, or if they were ever sanctioned for editing about the Balkans, or for other similar reasons as determined by me or another uninvolved administrator.

Contributions in violation of this sanction may be removed by any uninvolved administrator (but not other users). Such contributions can be reported on this AfD's talk page. Editors who disagree with the restriction can appeal it at WP:AE.

I hope that this allows other Wikipedians to come to a consensus about the the merits of this article. I know that this may make it more difficult to evaluate sources in languages from the Balkans, but I expect that a notable historical event, if it is notable, will be covered in English-language sources as well (and indeed some are cited in the article).

This is a procedural nomination, I am neutral. Sandstein 14:18, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The page is undisclosed COI. If necessary, I have off-wiki evidence to back up my assertion. With or without the COI the subject barely scrapes notability, they have a feature in Forbes but the article hasn't been cited here and it's more of the same promotional churnalism. I feel it is wp:too soon for this page. If or when the subject becomes notable a non-conflicted editor can create the page. GDX420 (talk) 07:40, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All: Remove this AfD.

Hi @Alwayslearnedstuff:. That is correct, I have a mountain of off-wiki evidence which shows that not only is a representative of REE electric vehicles paying you to upload this content, when you say, "I'm the one who created this article" you are in fact lying. You did not write this content. Someone else wrote this content, you just added the awards section and some PR jargon about "coming out of stealth mode" at the client's request. Neither of these amendments is acceptable in encyclopaedia writing. In answer to your question, the reason I am not going to do any work on the page is because if I did that, your employer would essentially be getting two Wikipedians for free, see WP:BOGOF. Bearing that in mind, could you please restore the maintenance tags that you removed so that the page's content issues can be addressed in due course. Also, as a little housekeeping tip, please sign your messages with four tildes. P.S. this conversation would have been better suited to my talk page and not an AfD. Thank you. GDX420 (talk) 04:29, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @GDX420:. No, this discussion should be right here where @Lord Bolingbroke, Llemiles, and Cullen328: can see you're up to the same trolling on this page that they've cited you for in the past on your talk page. Telling me 'I'm lying' is a baseless threat, and I will not restore the maintenance tags I removed because there are no COI or Notability issues. I'm not paid and you can see that in my history of contributions to Wikipedia. You are clearly waging a flame war for unstated political purposes, starting with moving the page to draft _and_ tagging it AfD, which Lord Bolingbroke noted was a violation of Wikipedia policy. The ONLY issue here that should be discussed is the one you initially flagged, and that's whether this page is suitable for AfD. It's not. According to the four Wikipedia deletion criteria (Neutral point of view, Verifiability, No original research , and What Wikipedia is not), REE Automotive did not violate the last three. I agree with you that it violated the original research criterion (due to about a half dozen biased/subjective adjectives which I removed yesterday), but that has been fixed, as I noted above in my prior comment. From that same Wikipedia neutral point of view bullet, "If an article is beyond help, it should be deleted, but try fixing the POV first," this article is far from beyond help, and you made no effort to fix POV first: i.e. you didn't follow the Wikipedia guideline you're claiming to follow. Your main contribution here is to weaponize AfD policy. You also mentioned--but did not cite--a Forbes quote/article on REE Automotive, so I'm not sure that anyone would agree with your self-righteous stand about why you didn't/won't contribute. The only good etiquette you've displayed is the signature tip. Thanks! Alwayslearnedstuff (talk) 12:36, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi@Alwayslearnedstuff: if you feel that my actions breach Wikipedia's code of conduct you are welcome to report me at WP:ANI, just be careful not to hoist yourself with your own WP:PETARD.GDX420 (talk) 13:48, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've included the Forbes piece and another source to back up that sentence so I don't see any statement that isn't properly sourced. Pichpich (talk) 18:48, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Does the OTRS ticket support the accusation that the content attributed to Alwayslearnedstuff is in fact exactly what the company provided? That probably would not constitute a copyright violation since the company presumably understands that whatever they post on Wikkipedia, even through an intermediary, is in the public domain. It would, however, be a very serious lapse in judgment on the part of Alwayslearnedstuff (especially since he's been adamant that the content is his own work) and one that should probably have consequences. So what exactly is on that ticket? Pichpich (talk) 03:32, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's... not correct. Wikipedia's content is emphatically not public domain, it is licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0. In adding content to Wikipedia, the editor adding it claims that they release it under the terms of that licence, which requires that they own the copyright to it. That in turn requires that the content is either entirely original content created by that editor, or that they have had the copyright legally transferred to them by the original owner/creator. If an editor copies text into Wikipedia that they did not write themselves (or that they cannot prove copyright ownership of), and that text cannot be shown to either be freely available under a CC-BY-SA or less restrictive licence, then their addition is a copyright violation - in releasing it under Wikipedia's licence, they claim authorship and copyright ownership.
The OTRS ticket does not contain the text in the article; it consists of a set of screenshots of email exchanges purporting to be between a representative of REE Automotive and an editor who was previously hired to create the article. The exchanges include images of text documents from REE that are presumed to contain the proposed content. Yunshui  07:19, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Full disclosure, I found this article because it was posted to the #wikipedia-en irc for possible promotional issues.

Pretty much the whole article is promotional and I could not find any significant coverage. The funds they manage are LISTED, but the company seems not to be, and notability is not inherited. There was a significant expansion of the article concurrent with the previous AfD in 2012, but I do not believe it meets our current standards, even if it was enough for a "no consensus" then: Of the sources considered then, the BusinessWeek article is now a 404 I can't find an archived copy of, the LA Times article appears to be a reprint of a press release submitted to Bloomberg News, and the review in Stocks and Commodities possibly meets the criteria—if there are similar sources, we should consider refocusing the article on that particular product.

I've done the required WP:BEFORE, and it would appear to me the reason why this article about a living person has remained pretty much unreferenced since it was created in 2007 is quite simply because none of the assertions made here have any evidence to back them up.

  • To follow up on WP:NFOE, the film also has to be "a major part of his/her career". How is this film a major part of any of their careers? And the reviews you linked, three of them don't exist, and one is a blog, which does not count as a notable review. There are several professional reviewers out there that review direct to DVD releases, and they did not review this film. There needs to be significant coverage by reliable sources to keep it, that's the point of WP:GNG. I don't see how one professional review, with no other coverage, meets this standard.

Something that I might add, if I can find a source (currently it would be "synth", is that Chisholm, Runians, Duggan, Wegenast, Charters all served as both BBOT president and Mayor of Brampton.
Among the content that I have yet to introduce to the article, a flubbed real estate deal that left the organization in a bad position as of a decade or so ago, that led to the board replacing the entire staff. It's documented over a series of articles in the local newspaper of record, The Brampton Guardian, which I've largely avoided to this point, in order to focus on larger publications.

Contested PROD. Fails WP:GEOLAND. This location is an isolated former homestead, now in the possession of the US Forest Service. Despite being listed in GNIS as a "populated place" (see WP:GNIS for more about the meaning and pitfalls of this classification), there is no evidence that there is or ever has been a community here. Although our standards for inclusion of geographical places are deliberately very low, they do not extend to individual homesteads or farms. −−− Cactus Jack 🌵 08:12, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These lists appear to just be reposts of the original ATC lists. There is no encyclopedic coverage of the topics within them. I think the whole set should be deleted because we are WP:NOT a directly or almanac; additionally in my experience these lists are often out of date and therefore have the potential to be incorrect and, because they are just reposts of the primary source, contribute to errors if they are used. Like other sources, interested editors can go directly to the primary source, rather than the copy/pasted list here.

I am proposing a single instance of the list first and, if there is consensus, the result of the set can be nominated. I look forward to hearing the opinion of other editors. Tom (LT) (talk) 07:50, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't find any but it would seem there would be some. The "group or set" source is what I was looking for. I haven't been involved with any of these but as a set of navigational aid lists I can see a reason for keeping. Of course this would be more important as long as Anypodetos (or someone) was around to update. Otherwise they would become outdated and better as categories. -- Otr500 (talk) 18:20, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Another concern is that even though consensus might keep this one, thus possibly placating the Nom, someone else might take issue later and it starts all over. Something like 15 pages with many listings on each page and someone may wonder about the same 3 or 4 sources. At least the source I added shows the sub-pages are listed. If a template makes it easier I am for it because I don't think the mentioned refs 1 and 2 does it. -- Otr500 (talk) 18:41, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Re sources: Apart from refs 1 (NIH) and 2 (German Ministry of Health), which have short explanations of the ATC code system, there's quite a number of sites that use ATC codes – e.g. the UK drug information, Drugbank, Germany's Rote Liste (no open access), the Austria Codex – so I think there is no question about notability of the topic. But these sources are ill suited for inline citations, as each ATC code is on a different page, and they don't address the nominator's concern that we are just reproducing the originals from https://www.whocc.no/ with no encyclopedic content on the ATC pages themselves. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 19:52, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That depends on what this discussion is actually about, of which I'm not really sure any more.

@Govvy: I would appreciate it if you would remove the accusation clearly no one is interested in WP:BEFORE. That is not true. As I said in the beginning, I did a Google search (this plus some others) and I didn't find anything substantial (Please look at the first 20 entries). I saw the Business Wire post, which read like a press release, and I quickly dismissed it as WP:PROMO: Business Wire's about page says "Business Wire, a Berkshire Hathaway company, is the global leader in press release distribution and regulatory disclosure."
As to the sources provided by Lee Vilenski, I tried looking at them, and two of the four links don't work. I am not sure if the other two count as WP:RS or not. --David Tornheim (talk) 16:32, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know why you got so offended! I really don't think you did a good enough web search. I only loaded three of the four links, but for Sport Skeeda, my search AI adjust to this link. koreaherald.com, didn't load. But I certainly felt I saw enough sources in a google search that makes me feel the article should pass GNG. Seems like it was more pushed for the Asian market, saw reviews of the game I could not read or translate. Example articles for the push to the Asian market like techinasia.com, bangkokpost.com. This article is one month old from Indonesia [34] about termination in Asia to make way for FIFA Online 4. Govvy (talk) 17:06, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate that you revised your meaning in the response to something softer. I find it irritating to be accused of not doing a WP:BEFORE, when I have done it, having spent a significant amount of time on it, and the sources I looked at did not appear to me to meet WP:GNG. Editors have different experiences and knowledge of sources, especially in fields they do not know much about. I have virtually no knowledge of current video games or the best sources for it, so it's a lot harder and time consuming for me to access sources like www.polygon.com and IGN, that may just be sites used to promote games or user-generated content, and even mainstream publications like bangkokpost.com, that may also be user-generated rather than truly WP:INDEPENDENT WP:SECONDARY WP:RS. When I see an article like this that is almost all WP:PROMO from the company, and I can't find enough sources I feel for sure to be good enough establish WP:GNG, I think I should be able to submit it to WP:AfD to have other editors look at it, without being accused of failing to do WP:BEFORE, when I did, and nothing in clearly reliable sources in WP:RS/P like NYT, WaPo, etc. comes up. It just seems an unnecessary attack another editor's good faith attempt to get rid of articles that appear to be WP:PROMO.
I brought it here so that others who know the sources better can decide, and I appreciate you offering sources. I would just rather you provide the sources rather than attack the editors who didn't find them and who are making a good faith attempt to rid the encyclopedia of WP:PROMO.
As to the sources you are providing: I would be willing to change my !vote to a keep, if you can make it clear why you think the sources are WP:RS -and- more specifically why you believe any particular published article is not user-generated, a press release, promo, or pay-to-play "news" advertising. I do appreciate your help and experience in that regard. --David Tornheim (talk) 17:59, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing anything notable about this band. All the sources in the article are either trivial coverage or personal blogs. There's no in-depth reviews or articles about in reputable sources that I can find anywhere.

It seems the notability for a lot of these really comes down to just Jesus Freak Hideout and AllMusic. Which is really questionable IMO. Especially AllMusic. Since it includes pretty much anything. It's literally called "AllMusic." So, the band having a bio on their site doesn't really mean much. The same goes for Jesus Freak Hideout. Of course they are going to have reviews of a Christian band. That's their "niche." It doesn't mean anything in relation to the band as far as the generally audience Wikipedia is suppose to cater to though. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:25, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Btw, I'm not seeing either chart you mentioned on the list of acceptable Billboard sub charts for establishing notability. --Adamant1 (talk) 15:15, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
While AllMusic tries to include everything, they do not review everything. There are a lot of entries that simply list the album (or band) and there's nothing else there. Sometimes, they will list an album and give it a rating, but unless there's a review, it's not considered enough to meet GNG. This group has a bio and four reviewed albums. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:45, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Alright. If a band has reviews for 4 albums, but they are all from the same source wouldn't that still not work for notability because it's not "multiple" reliable sources? I know for something like a company, if they get repeated coverage but only from a single source or journalist it doesn't work as well (or at all depending) for notability then it would if the coverage was from different sources. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:33, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Walter Görlitz: BTW, I wanted to mention it seems that sometimes doing a search for a topic on Google gives different or no results compared to clicking the links in the AfD template. There was an AfD for a company a few weeks ago where I didn't get any results by searching for it directly on Google Scholar but someone else got results by clicking the Google Scholar link in the template. That might have been why that one AfD went so wrong or why you found sources for albums that me and others didn't. I know it's more convenient to point fingers and place blame on a bad BEFORE or whatever though, then it is to give leeway for this being an imperfect process sometimes that not everyone always gets the same results from. --Adamant1 (talk) 12:48, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • We have exactly one source - a directory listing/a dot on a map - and literally no other sources, which I am concerned about because the other ones which we've kept have had sources. We can include things in the encyclopaedia without having to dedicate a perma-stub to them. This is better off listified somewhere. SportingFlyer T·C 01:18, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not aware of any policy that requires that articles be deleted unless they have multiple source citations. The Barrington Atlas itself cites Tabula Imperii Byzantini for epigraphic sources, with the additional note "T. Drew-Bear". Tabula Imperii Byzantini is a reliable scholarly source and has a web site which seems at first glance to provide open access to at least some of its holdings; and T. Drew-Bear is the author of some indices of its maps, for which map 62 contains Appolena, with the aforementioned citations—one to himself/herself, but I can't figure out what that citation means, since eleven publications from 1976 to 1999 are listed, all with dates, in the bibliography, but the citation doesn't say which, if any of these, is meant—and the index for volume 7 of TIB is shorter and doesn't include Appolena. So we have a scholarly citation, but I'm unable to locate the source information being cited over the internet. Does that mean the article on the town fails for lack of citations? No, of course not. Sources don't have to be available over the internet. They simply have to exist and be capable of verification—whether or not anyone involved with Wikipedia actually views them.
This stub was nominated for deletion for three reasons that I can identify: 1, that the place is not notable; 2, that it's likely apocryphal; 3, that the editor who created it made many others that are similarly non-notable and likely did not exist. None of these reasons hold up under close scrutiny, however. Notability is established because this is a town or village from antiquity, the location and nature of which are of interest to historians and archaeologists today; its inclusion in the Barrington Atlas as well as within the TIB project framework are more than adequate to establish that. We know that the place either definitely existed at or near the place identified in these sources, or is accepted as probably having been there by modern scholarship; we do not have to prove that this supposition is correct in order for the article to exist: many perfectly acceptable articles exist about people, places, and things that are merely thought to exist or have existed, or claimed to exist or have existed by some scholars, historians, philosophers, theologians, myths, legends, folktales, etc. The mere possibility that a name might refer to someone or something or some place other than the one currently identified doesn't justify deleting an article. We don't delete the articles about Bigfoot, Atlantis, or West Virginia merely because they're potentially apocryphal. And the first two being the case, it really doesn't matter how many other articles the same editor created.
I further note that pretty much all of the others that were similarly nominated for deletion have already been closed as "keep" or deProdded. Yes, it might be a good idea to combine some of these stubs into a single article. But that requires at least one editor to choose which among these many town and village stubs should be included, and perhaps how many articles there ought to be for settlements in different regions. The fact that nobody has stepped up and done so yet—or may do so in the immediate future—is not grounds for deletion. There is no time limit for articles to be improved, and there is no consensus on the best way to treat these many towns and villages yet. Even if some of them are combined, the current titles will still exist as redirects to the combined articles, which we would expect to contain the same source citations and basic descriptions that the stubs have now. So the contents of articles such as this one would not be deleted from the encyclopedia by "listifying" them—it would merely be moved to a different location. Taking all of this into consideration, I can see no circumstances under which this article meets the criteria for deletion. P Aculeius (talk) 14:03, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A search [36] here gave no results. I advocated for keeping other articles, but considering: 1) this article contains only one citation, which itself is only a directory listing, which you have noted that the citation by the author references a citation by the same author, which cannot be found; 2) no other information is available on the internet, and no other sources have been presented that might contain information about this place; 3) other articles which were kept, at least the ones I participated in, were easily verifiable elsewhere; 4) just because other articles have been kept does not mean this one should also be kept/deleted; and 5) if you cannot write anything that's not a perma-stub, an alternative, such as a redirect to a list, should be considered. In this case, there is no actual evidence this is a notable place apart from a dot on a map, and while WP:GEOLAND does give a presumption, I don't think the presumption is met here, since there's really nothing we can say about this place apart from "this was a place name on a map that may or may not be logged in the TIL." That being said, as I've noted above, I have no problem of including this in a list somewhere. SportingFlyer T·C 18:20, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I believe your analysis of the underlying policies is faulty. One citation to a reliable source, such as the Barrington Atlas or TIB is sufficient to demonstrate verifiability. I'm not sure what your point about a "directory listing" is. As far as I know, there's no such exception to the criteria for determining whether a place is verifiable. You may be thinking of the notability criterion, "Wikipedia is not a directory." That's not really applicable here; an ancient town or village that can be named and located within a particular area and is so listed in scholarly sources is notable, even if nothing else can be said about it. But here we don't even know what else can be said; only that I wasn't able to learn more about the information in TIB by looking through its website. Nothing about our verifiability criteria says that we have to have seen the archaeological evidence, or have access to it over the internet, before we're entitled to accept that it exists based on a citation in other sources. I mentioned that the other articles were all kept, because their simultaneous creation by the same editor and based on the same sources was urged as a reason to delete this one. But since the creation of the articles as a group seems to be fine, that's not a valid reason for deleting this one. There's no policy that says that articles should be deleted if they seem unlikely to progress beyond stubs in the foreseeable future. It may well be that this article could be combined with others, but the possibility that it could be is not grounds for deletion. I believe that your description of the town as "a place name on a map that may or may not be logged in the TIL" is misleading. It is not "a place name on a map". It is a known settlement from antiquity that is documented by both TIL and the Barrington Atlas. The fact that we don't know all of the information about it doesn't mean that we can suppose that there might not be any basis for its inclusion. It's highly improbable that TIL would publish an index by one of its major contributors citing it, if it were not documented by the project; and even less likely that it would then be accepted as fact by the Barrington Atlas if it did not consider the material in TIL reliable. As Wikipedians, we are not entitled to assume that the conclusions of scholarly sources are erroneous unless they can produce their proofs to us. P Aculeius (talk) 22:36, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Cities have one of the lowest barriers to notability, but I don't buy the fact that just because this was a point on a map and nothing else can be said about it makes it notable enough for its own article when the other places which were nominated were kept and easily verifiable elsewhere. The "directory listing" discussing the place was literally just an index with the place name. I am not saying the atlas is necessarily wrong, but I would expect there to be sources on Google Scholar like there were for the other articles, I would expect there would be listings in books, maybe in one of the readily online searchable Ramsey books on the topic - nothing. Is it really a "known settlement from antiquity?" The fact a place name appeared on a map does not by itself mean that we can have a standalone article for it. It's fine to listify some content, this is one of those instances. SportingFlyer T·C 00:15, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Precisely. That's what a stub is for. I'm not aware of "WP:DELETEALLSTUBS". The main argument for deleting the article is that "it's just a dot on a map", but clearly that's not true. We just don't have access to the information used by TIB and the Barrington Atlas—that doesn't mean that the information doesn't exist, or that we'll never know any more than the location of the town. But I think we're entitled to assume that they didn't include it "because it's a dot on a map". The place is clearly notable as an inhabited town from antiquity of interest to modern historians; and its inclusion in these sources makes it verifiable, whether or not we can see the details. So until Wikipedia policy requires the deletion of stubs because they're short—and not because the subjects are non-notable or unverifiable—articles like this should not be deleted. P Aculeius (talk) 00:47, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is we don't actually know if it passes WP:GEOLAND. We literally only have a dot on a map and its corresponding directory listing. There's nothing wrong with the source, but there are no other sources out there which have been presented that let us say anything other than "According to a single source, this was a city located in Phrygia, whose existence was inferred." It's perfectly reasonable to believe that's not enough of a demonstration of notability. SportingFlyer T·C 05:40, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Likely it was a translation of Apollonia and the person who created the article did it without known. If you look at the list of Roman towns in Apollonia it, Appolena, and Apellonia are used interchangeably as names for cities throughout. Which is all the more reason to delete this article IMO. As it's likely a duplicate of a differently named Roman city that it is just an odd spelling of. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:09, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The fact that it's a common name is not a reason to delete. If it's an alternate spelling of a place that we cover on another page then we should merge them, not delete anything. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:22, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Normally I'd agree. Except two things here make me think that's a no go. 1. We don't usually merge referenced information and in this case I'd say it applies 2. There's no encyclopedic content about it to merge anyway 3. There's zero way to know where we should merge it to and it's probably impossible to figure out since the information in the article is so sparse and general. It could really apply to a bunch of articles cited in Apollonia. So, should we just pick a random merge target and keep our fingers crossed it's the correct one or something? --Adamant1 (talk) 10:27, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The atlas gives a location for this place (38.959452N, 31.147865E) and also gives an alternate placename (Tezkalesi). This information seems quite adequate for further investigation. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:02, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There are two reliable sources that call if Appolena, not Apollonia. This isn't some rogue editor with careless spelling, so we can take that argument right off the table. "It's unencyclopedic" is not a valid deletion argument—many encyclopedias have short articles that say little more than "X was a Roman town in Y". Why should Wikipedia be any more demanding? "Not a directory" is about "indiscriminate information". "X was a Roman town in Y" is not "indiscriminate" in the way that "the Phlink warehouse stocked the following valve configurations" or "these are the businesses at the corner of 4th Street and Vine" are indiscriminate. "We don't merge referenced information" isn't a policy. Most merged articles contain sources from each of the articles being merged. "I don't know where it should be merged" is not an argument for deletion—it's an argument for keeping it as a stub. However, it's also wrong—there's no reason why this article couldn't be merged with other stubs on Roman-era settlements in Phrygia. Is that the best solution? I don't know, but it's not important to answer that question, when the question at hand is whether to delete or keep the contents of the article; the potential for merger simply proves that there are valid alternatives to deletion. P Aculeius (talk) 14:29, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is why I think including this topic in a list is the best solution, without prejudice of recreation if we find other sources on it. It's verifiable enough to include somewhere in the encyclopaedia, but it's not notable enough for a standalone article at this point, since we really only have one source, a map. (I'm also concerned that it's a map because mapmakers prevent copying by occasionally including fictional features.) SportingFlyer T·C 16:46, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • If your argument is that Appolena and Tezkalesi are the same place, which looking at the references may be a fair one - I would support a move and redirect to Tezkalesi, which currently does not have an article and would pass WP:GEOLAND considering there's actual available text on the place.

  • I'm reasonably certain Drew-Bear has associated 'Appolena' with Byzantium 'Tezkalesi'. This blurb referring to the demos of the Appolenoi suggests other authors thought Çoğu.

Fails WP:NSOLDIER as was only a colonel. Comes closer to WP:GNG and WP:NPERSON, but still doesn't quite seem to hit the mark. Coverage consists of obituary that was likely submitted by somebody connected to the man, an image, a post from the American Battlefield Trust, which he was affiliated with, a local newspaper article about somewhere he was speaking, and some rather small newspaper articles, mostly drawing a connection to his ancestry. An article like this from the Miami Herald is good coverage, but it isn't specifically of JEB Stuart IV, but of a group and their efforts to ensure memorialization of JEB Stuart. Other coverage is passing mentions or quotations from him in his capacity as president of the Museum of the Confederacy, not about him. Eddie891 Talk Work 01:32, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While "ABC7 News" and "New Jersey News Network" might sound vaguely legitimate at first, a look at the articles [38][39] reveals that they are reprints of the same press release. Nothing on GNews except the same spammy press releases, no book reviews or library holdings. Not notable. Spicy (talk) 01:28, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:BIO, clearly no notability, no awards nor known works, he just a normal blogger and he published some guest articles (not a journalist BTW), all refs from his blog or youtube or twitter, also no google results or significant coverage.

This popular actress mostly played comedian roles for about three decades in all the South Indian languages. In Telugu, she acted many Hit films along with the Padmasri awardee Relangi Venkatramaiah. As far as I know, she died many years ago. She acted more than 100 films, and during that period, not many awards are given to the films. Please consider keeping her profile in Wikipedia. Thanking you.--Rajasekhar1961 07:58, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Rajasekhar1961: do you have any sources for the claim that she died years ago? Lammbda (talk) 10:01, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems to be a IDONTLIKEIT nomination with no signs of BEFORE. AfD is not cleanup. Longstanding Telugu language (and others) actor, almost three decades in film, still discussed long after their death, easily passes WP:NACTOR.[1][2][3] "Girija and others have produced a rich comic fare to successive generations of filmgoers."[4]...Girija, once a successful star."[5]
