The result was delete. Consensus determined that being in multiple notable bands does not equate to demonstrable notability. ✗plicit 07:15, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Two of the four sources are dead and the other two are passing mentions. Fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. May be the member (or touring musician) of multiple bands, but that has not resulted in any meaningful press for the subject. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:21, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral-this is really borderline...he was, after all, in a very notable band for seven years...but at the same time, I don't find much about him..this is not like most Menudo members for example or The Beatles where there are multiple articles about each member individually....however, as I said, he was in it for seven years, which means he was probably on music videos and etc...Antonio Guevos de Acero Martin (que fue?) 06:29, March 28, 2021 (UTC)
Weak Keep changed to Weak Delete I, too, am troubled by the seemingly non-existence of RS recognition that is independent of one of the multiple groups he is associate with, but isn't one of the automatic criteria for WP:MUSIC notability to have been a member of at least two notable bands/ensembles? This guy has been in three. ShelbyMarion (talk) 20:51, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are no such automatic criteria. The criteria reads that the the subject may be not that the subject is notable. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:42, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. That being the case, I struck weak keep above and changed to weak delete. ShelbyMarion (talk) 17:19, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete we need independent sources to show notability, and they are lacking here. There is no other guideline that trumps the need for independent sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:24, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:BAND: "[...] or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles". He's been a member of Suicidal Tendencies and Luicidal. --FMSky (talk) 18:30, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
How is he reasonably prominent? Do you have sources to support that claim? It seems to me that he was just a band member, not a prominent one. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:17, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
We also now have a circular argument: he was in two notable bands, with Uncle Slam being the second, and in that AfD it was argued that because Herrera being in that band, that article was kept because we have multiple notable musicians in it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:15, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: As there appears to be ongoing discussion regarding "prominent" according to WP:BAND. Otherwise this discussion is trending towards a "delete" consensus.

Fails WP:NBIO. No claims of notability. No significant coverage. One sources is an interviews, others are primary sources. Rogermx (talk) 21:22, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as article creator per WP:PROF#C3 (fellow of a major academic society for which this is a significant honor, the American Statistical Association), as I already suggested to the nominator in removing their previous prod. The nominator appears to have failed to have even considered this suggestion seriously, and as a result the nomination is seriously flawed by using the wrong notability criterion (should be WP:PROF, not WP:GNG). Note that the primary nature of the sources is not relevant for WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:31, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In addition to being ASA Fellow, she has served as President of the ASA Section on Government Statistics. Ebony Jackson (talk) 01:21, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As nominator, I will bow to consensus and remove XFD. Did not see anything in the sources that said the subject was an academic, it simply listed her as a statistician who manages a government department. I could also ask if there is a list of scholarly societies whose membership gives someone a free pass to notability. Thanks to everyone for educating me on this and for upgrading this article.

Per my PROD reasoning: "See WP:CORP. A local police department that does not have any real inherent notability."
The creator of the page reverted the PROD, claiming that "the department is "notable" due to the city presence and provides more information beyond the City of Tustin Wikipedia page" (reasoning that could be applied to any police department) and that "the department was also the first to introduce a Pursuit-rated tracker system in Southern California", which is a very specific thing to be first at.

This article was merged to Tampa Bay Rays minor league players when nom'd for deletion in 2014, as that page is a repository for "not yet notable" prospects. Now, he's playing for independent baseball teams, with little chance of meeting WP:NBASE, and in spite of those few links I put in the 2014 AfD, he does not appear to meet WP:GNG either. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:19, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete Has played 5 FC games passing him for WP:NCRIC, but no coverage. Sources may exist offline and in Pakistani sources but I couldn't find any in a search. Using a similar precedent to that used by WP:FOOTY where a player with one or a few matches, but limited coverage, is redirected/deleted. As he has played for two different sides, there isn't a suitable WP:ATD here. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:56, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with five first class matches he passes WP:NCRIC. No information is provided by the nominator as to why he would not be able to pass WP:GNG eventually, in line with the criteria for WP:ATHLETE, as set out in the FAQ at the top of that guideline: The sports-specific notability guidelines are not intended to set a higher bar for inclusion in Wikipedia: they are meant to provide some buffer time to locate appropriate reliable sources when, based on rules of thumb, it is highly likely that these sources exist... Wikipedia editors have been very liberal in allowing for adequate time, particularly for cases where English language sources are difficult to find. The nominator should provide detailed evidence of which precise sources he has checked, rather than just stating "nothing in Urdu/ English newspapers"- which newspapers, from which dates? User:Störm has been consistently failing to provide evidence of sufficient checking of sources; indeed, given the number of AfD nominations made by this user, it is in my view impossible- even if he spent 168 hours per week on it- to have done sufficient checks, including those of hardcopy content. On several articles he has nominated, I have done my own subsequent checks, and there is additional coverage which has neither been included in the article, nor referenced by the editor in question. This type of handwaving at checks, which is designed to provide a rationale for deletion where none exists, just isn't acceptable from any editor. DevaCat1 (talk) 11:40, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Such demands far exceed WP:BEFORE and are unreasonable; if you have issues with the conduct of the nominator, take it to WP:ANI. Please clarify that these sources you have found are not simply more databases, scorecards and passing mentions. If they do constitute significant coverage, then please add them (and the additional content they provide) to the article(s) so everyone is able to evaluate them. Thanks. wjematherplease leave a message... 12:18, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a total and complete failure of GNG. Articles like this prove that we need to scrap the cricket guidelines, as has been said over and over.

Delete. No significant coverage, only wide ranging databases built on scorecard data, so fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT. This trumps the trivial pass of WP:NCRIC, which has proven to be a very poor guide to the existence of coverage in cases such as this, where there are few known matches and no performances of note.

@SputnikXX: Thanks for the additions. However, the only thing that would make him notable per WP:NFOOTY is if his 1994 spell at Monterrey were sourced. How do you know he has 11 caps? Nehme1499 02:07, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SputnikXX: Nope, he has to play (or manage) either for a senior national team, or in a fully professional league. Since you wrote the article, where did you find his playing career? Where did you see that he has played 11 games for Monterrey in 1994? Nehme1499 02:14, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SputnikXX: Unfortunately, fandom.com is not a reliable source. It's important to note that the article says that he only played for the "affiliate" teams of Monterrey, in the Primera A and Segunda Division. Nehme1499 02:34, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Nehme1499: But still the Primera A is considered a fully professional league, right? No matter the fact that he played in an affiliate team. SputnikXX (talk) 02:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SputnikXX: True, but we need to be able to source the fact that he actually played games. Maybe he just played friendly/unofficial games, or just trained with the team? Who knows. Ideally we would need a source saying "Hernandez played x games in the Primera A with Monterrey B (or whatever it was called). Also, I can't seem to find any Monterrey affiliate team in the Segunda Division/Primera A during the 1990s, so that's also an issue. Nehme1499 02:53, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense that is mostly background information and gives a nonsensical conclusion that the equations governing the laws of physics must be unchanged when transformed by any permutation of spacetime events — which means that all scalar fields are uniform. Uses a soap bubble analogy in an unencyclopedic manner and ends by making an OR connection between the article topic and John Stachel's proposed principle of maximal permutability that equivalent objects of the same kind are exchangeable.
A non-notable fringe theory of quantum gravity, which is cited entirely to primary sources, along with similarly non-notable theories absed on random graphs.
Delete per WP:NFT. Badly-sourced mishmash of badly-understood physics. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:30, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are numerous references from peer-reviewed journals by respected physicists. How exactly is it badly-sourced and badly-understood? Weburbia (talk) 07:13, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are numerous paragraphs entirely without sources. And sources providing background information or otherwise failing to back up the actual content of the article do not count towards the notability of its topic, no matter how respected their authors might be. As for badly-understood, the nominator's discussion of the trivializing consequences of symmetry under all permutations and of Permutation City will suffice for two examples. I have read that novel and did not recognize its content from its description here (the paragraph about it in Garden of Eden (cellular automaton) is much more apropos and, unlike here, properly sourced to non-fiction sources). —David Eppstein (talk) 07:33, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Some people are confused about the role of symmetry in physics and try to apply the symmetry principle to the solutions rather than the equations. They then come to nonsense conclusions such as "scalar fields are uniform". Obviously physicists would not be using symmetry principles if their consequences were that trivial. The relationship between the ideas of event symmetry and Greg Egan's dust theory from "permutation symmetry" were first pointed out to me by John Baez on sci.physics.research. Of course Egan uses the idea in different fictional and philosophical ways more related to mind uploading and the simulation hypothesis but his description of the physics principle is perfectly clear and directly related to this topic. He has a very good understanding of physics and mathematics and has published papers on quantum gravity so I dont doubt that he knew what he was talking about.

Wikipedia is full of pages which are labelled as stubs needing expansion, yet when I write an article with more detail and explanation it is called uncyclopedic. The "large passages" of explanation are covered in the cited sources. Weburbia (talk) 07:26, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete My PROD rationale was With the original publication getting only 11 citations in 25 years, even by the permissive standards of Google Scholar (counting unpublished items and self-citations), this is not a notable physics idea. WP:SYNTH throughout. I thought at the time that that was an understatement; the nomination goes into more detail. XOR'easter (talk) 18:45, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, it doesn't. The combination of ideas that other, reliable sources have not yet combined = synthesis. And the notability and COI problems remain regardless. XOR'easter (talk) 12:48, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Can you elaborate? There are many references from reliable sources. If people prefer coverage in popular science press that can be found too, especially for the quantum graphity example. Weburbia (talk) 07:22, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Only the first reference covers the topic, and that is a primary source, one which (having obtained a copy) only very sketchily covers it. There is nothing to indicate that the quantum graphity example preserves any "rules" under a general permutation of events, or that any sources claim that it does. Hence, such sources cannot be regarded as covering the topic. Given that you are "not that invested in keeping it", you are putting a lot of energy into arguing for its retention. —Quondum 17:53, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't going to argue against the deletion but I think its important to fix some of the factual errors in the rationale and comments, especially about the physics. It shouldn't be deleted for wrong reasons. Weburbia (talk) 19:21, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, well, as editors we all fall into the trap of arguing the physics from time to time. Criteria for whether a topic should be in WP centre on verifiability and not on the beliefs of the editors, which is why I focused in WP:GNG in this AfD thread. —Quondum 19:45, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rename The only genuine problem with this page is that it uses the term "Event symmetry" as a title and this is a usage that is not well supported by secondary sources for the subject matter. I therefore suggest that the page should be renamed to a more descriptive and generic title such as "space-time permutation symmetry" Weburbia (talk) 07:32, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This would, at absolute best, make it a case for WP:TNT. But both synthesis concerns (combining various ideas that might be called "space-time permutation symmetry" that the literature has not combined in any serious way) and notability (most such proposals are marginal and have a paucity of in-depth secondary sources) would persist. XOR'easter (talk) 12:48, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I refuted most of the statements in the rationale in responses above. As for "A poorly explained notion of diffeomorphism invariance applied to a matrix model of M-theory" , this is explained with reference to one of the seminal and well-cited matrix theory papers by Iso and Kawai which said in the abstract "We finally argue a possible identification of the diffeomorphism symmetry with permutation group acting on the set of eigenvalues,.."

Sharifa may be on the younger side, but she has been an incredibly influential voice in the emerging body of Trans and GNC theatre artists. Her first full-length play is being published in the forthcoming Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays (the first anthology of its kind), and as a professional director, she was appointed to the Drama League's first Director's Council, where she is positioned at the same level as famous and influential US directors like Melia Bensussen, Daniel Banks, Brian Herrera, and Lisa Portes. She's also one of the most visible trans Muslim artist/activists and MENA-American Theatre Artists. Therefore, I contend that Sharifa is both "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors" and is "known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique," in advocating for representation of a significantly minoritarian and intersectional identity within theatre spaces.Rmirsajadi (talk) 20:21, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If someone can find significant coverage for this Cool Springs, then I will happily withdraw this. My WP:BEFORE found evidence that there is this Cool Springs, another one near Charlestown, WV; another near Wheeling, WV; and another near Morgantown, WV. Of the four, I found very little about this one.
Old topographic maps show this label in between a point on a railroad near a river and a road junction, there is basically nothing at either point. Later maps move the label to the road junction, which my BEFORE suggests was the wrong choice. I found an old newspaper result for a boat burning at the "Cool Springs wharf" in Wood County, a listing in a long list of railroad stations, and a statement that it was a point on the railroad with no post office. While I didn't find evidence of a community at this site, it's possible the railroad station is notable, although I was not able to find significant coverage of the site. I'm inclined to think that the Wood County Cool Springs is non-notable.

A search finds a few adds for books he wrote and lots of brief mentions to his works, but no substantial indepth information about him that would justify having an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:48, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Passes WP:GNG. As a rule of thumb, mayors of cities (like Elgin) with populations > 100,000 have been found to warant stand-alone articles. A quick search of Newspapers.com found more than 100 articles discussing Alft, his published works, and his works as mayor, councilman, teacher, etc. A few examples of WP:SIGCOV include (1) "Elgin's in his blood: Look! Mike Alft can never learn enough", Chicago Tribune, March 31, 1991 (part 1 and part 2); (2) "Elgin marks historian's 90th birthday", Chicago Tribune,July 14, 2015 (a six-colum, in depth piece), (3) "Elgin honors former mayor, library trustee, author", Chicago Tribune, Nov 17, 2011 (part 1, part 2); (4)Dean of Elgin historians moving out of Elgin , Daily Herald, March 12, 2016; (5)this; (6)this; (7)this; and (8)this. Cbl62 (talk) 14:03, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I question that any of these articles are published by publishers far enough from Elgin for this coverage to actually show notability. Local politicians will always get local coverage, this does not make them default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:10, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Two-page, multi-column, in-depth biographical profiles in a major regional newspapers like the Chicago Tribune do not count toward a GNG analysis? There is no support whatsoever for that interpretation in WP:GNG, WP:NPERSON, or WP:BASIC. Cbl62 (talk) 22:17, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
At the time Alft was mayor of Elgin it had 56,000 people. Beyond this, Elgin is just one of many suburbs of Chicago, so its importance is not as high as it would be if it were a center of a metro area of its own.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:12, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Calling Elgin "just one of many suburbs of Chicago" reflects a striking misunderstanding of its history. Elgin is not the product of post-WWWII suburban sprawl. It is located an hour's drive from central Chicago, has a long history (by Midwest standards) dating to 1835, and was home to the Elgin Watch Company and, from the 19th century through the 1960s, the largest watchmaking complex in the world.Cbl62 (talk) 22:17, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
keep based on Cbl62 and the fact that all except 1 town in Illinois over 100k currently have a mayor article and I dont see why we should not extend this to past mayors. While maybe not known on a national level, it seems this is a person known on a local level. Coverage in Chicago Tribune also indicates passing GNG. In addition the subject also published books, even though through his local historical society. --hroest 21:16, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - First, I found that the text of this article is copied almost entirely from the musician's personal site, with the sections here conforming to the subpages at that site. The creator of the WP article added a few sources but they are unreliable reprints of press releases, as is common in Nigerian entertainment media. While this musician has been around for a long time, his only coverage is the aforementioned press releases and occasional gossip rag pieces about his personal life or a feud he got into with someone. He is also described as engaged in other activities outside of music, such as activism and politics, but I can find no reliable information on him leading any activist efforts or running for office, and that's under both of his names. He's done a lot of things and appears to be a reliable behind-the-scenes guy in Nigerian music, but he is not as influential as his own press releases say he is. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:13, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've been keeping tabs on this page since it was created, helping out the creator make a better-looking article, but their progress has stalled and I'm not sure there are enough reliable sources that exist in the world to indicate that she is a notable individual per our usual guidelines; I'm seeing almost no Google (or GNews) hits, and the references (even the ones recently removed) are relatively minor (or interviews).

Comment - you may of course be correct, but that doesn't add a dime to notability. Unless reliable and independent sources have written about her in the context of those plays, soap operas, YouTube videos etc, they do not add anything to notability.

An article about a film by one G. Suman Reddy, contributed by Sumanreddydir who has made multiple attempts to place articles about this film, using a variety of titles, and whose promotional editing has previously been commented on their User Talk page. In 2016 an instance entitled "Ekta Movie" was deleted at AfD. In 2018 an "Ekta" article was deleted by PROD, in 2019 a similarly-named article was speedy-deleted as promotional [7]. Already this month another "Ekta Movie" instance has been created and was speedy-deleted [8], after which the same editor has created this newly-titled instance. Donaldd23 placed a PROD with the rationale "Non notable film, nothing found in a WP:BEFORE to help it pass WP:NFILM. All current citations are IMdB.". I am not seeing the substantial coverage needed to demonstrate notability, so agree with the rationale but it cannot stand as a PROD given the previous deletion history.

Furius (talk) 15:00, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Just being a Professor is not enough. I don't see how she passes NPROF - to pass crit 1 there should be a significant number of citations which unfortunately the subject doesn't have. All the other criteria can't be applied. I regret, but she doesn't pass NPROF either. Less Unless (talk) 10:48, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - a Google Books search yields coverage that is, in my view, sufficient to pass at least the GNG and possibly the first criterion of NPROF. Take, for instance, this, this, this, and possibly this, all of which discuss her scholarship in considerable detail and treat her as an important expert in her field. There are additional Google Books results, and the coverage available via Google Scholar also appears to be substantial. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:05, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A private tertiary education institute that has no RS to support NSCHOOLS. A BEFORE shows some paid advertisement, press releases and primary sources.

He was a philantrophist, the first chatered accountant from his home town who inspired a lot of chatered accountants from his community, reknowned auditor for multinationals and also a titled chief which was possible as a result of his major contributions to his community.
In some of the links cited below it is obvious that he was a titled chief. I sourced for a lot of these links and it was only obvious that he was a very private person despite his notability.
He was also the Chairman of Infinity microfinance bank, Nigeria as seen on page 4 of the first link below.
Delete - reliable sources do not address Asu directly and in depth, WP:GNG is not met.

Do not delete - User:GoingBatty , User:Lettler , User:Spiderone , User:Melcous why isnt anyone of you editing the article to get better? Instead of voting for the deletion of the article? Is this the right way to get things done / collaborate? Two articles i created years back: 1. Smalldoctor and 2. Mayorkun, who are both Nigerian musicians; were both nominated for deletion and eventually deleted. Few months later the above listed pages were re uploaded by another wikipedian and those pages are still live till date. "someone else took the credit". It is the reason i stopped creating articles on wikipedia for years.
I thought wikipedia is meant for collaborative efforts and not for spiting or racism.

CommentEyitayo osunkoya. It is easy to misunderstand the Wikipedia term "notable". In ordinary language, anybody who is famous, or important, or innovative, or popular, or influential will necessarily be notable. In Wikipedia "notable" generally means "there is enough independent reliably-published material about the subject to base an article on". Since Wikipedia requires that all information in an article be sourced from reliable published sources (and most of it from sources independent of the subject) it follows that if there are not enough such sources, then there is literally nothing which can be put into the article. --ColinFine (talk) 22:16, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody can actually find reliable sources to reference an article about him properly. He does actually have a credible potential notability claim as a producer of Genie/Canadian Screen Award nominated or winning documentary films — but while that is a valid notability claim if it's sourced properly, it isn't so very meganotable as to exempt a person from having to have any acceptable reliable sources just because the article has the word "award" in it. But even on a ProQuest search I just can't find anything good — I can find a few stray namechecks of his existence, but nothing of substance, and even those are far, far outnumbered by accidental text matches on sources about different people who merely happen to have the same name. So if somebody can actually find better sources than I've been able to, then this could be reconsidered — but nothing in the article is "inherently" notable enough to override the very poor state of the article's current sourcing. Also, the article was created by a single purpose account with a direct conflict of interest, as her entire Wikipedia contribution history consists entirely of creating and editing articles about Michael, his brother, their production company and the director of a film Michael worked on, making it remarkably unsurprising that the LinkedIn résumé of an associate producer with that very same company comes up as the very first hit if you search the username on Google. Bearcat (talk) 23:41, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Michael McMahon has 30 years of documentary filmmaking experience in Canada, and to refer to him as a non-notable filmmaker is simply incorrect. His films have received over 40 international awards and his production company has created dozens of Canadian documentary series and feature films. Perhaps try a Google search instead of ProQuest and look for Michael McMahon, his brother Kevin McMahon, or the company Primitive Entertainment and you will see plenty of sources, many of which I have included. I am happy to show you better sources than the one ProQuest search you did. Correct, I will not ignore the COI, but I have spent hours insuring that my bias is removed from the facts I included in the article. I am happy to work with someone with no COI to look over the page and make edits as necessary. I apologize that my only contributions are related to this company, but I thought I'd give it a go for the first time once I realized these prominent Canadian documentary filmmakers had no pages, when many of their colleagues with less notoriety do. I have read through the entire COI page and have ensured that my COI is not getting in the way of my editing. I am not being paid to create this Wikipedia page, but simply think that 30 years of hard work by Canadian documentary filmmakers should be honoured and remembered. Primitive Entertainment, Michael McMahon and Kevin McMahon all have countless sources online that reference and praise their work. I am looking to create a Wiki page that gathers all those facts in one place.Maevekern (talk) 13:59, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
People are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they and their work exist — the notability test is not "has done stuff", it is "has received reliable source coverage about the stuff he's done". For example, a film is not automatically notable just because it exists, or because its existence has been listed on IMDb — a film becomes notable when the likes of Norman Wilner or Radheyan Simonpillai or Richard Crouse or Geoff Pevere or Barry Hertz or Chris Knight or Eli Glasner or Craig Takeuchi have reviewed said film for media outlets like The Globe and Mail, the National Post, CBC, CTV, Global, the Toronto Star, the Montreal Gazette, Now or The Georgia Straight. And by the same token, a film producer is not automatically notable just because he has a "staff" profile on the self-published website of his own company, or an IMDB profile, or press releases issued by his own company — a film producer becomes notable when journalists have produced and published content that independently analyzes the significance of his production work in newspapers or magazines or books. Bearcat (talk) 14:36, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. Luckily, Michael McMahon has indeed received plenty of reliable source coverage. For example, in the Globe and Mail article titled "The Canadian film industry is on pause – but once it’s back, how can we make it better than ever?" includes as story about producer Michael McMahon who is editing, remotely, his four-part CBC series about Canadian authors, Writing the Land. Additionally, his work is covered in the Toronto Star article "Nominees in major categories for the 23rd Gemini Awards". I am not claiming that he is automatically notable, I am claiming that he is very well known in the documentary world, both locally and internationally. And I would appreciate your help in building up this page to your standards. I am relatively new to Wikipedia contributions, and happy to work with you on the page until it is up to your standards. I would appreciate your support and assistance on this matter.Maevekern (talk) 17:48, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, we're not looking for sources in which he's quoted as a giver of soundbite, or sources that just include his name in a list of names — we're looking for sources in which he and his work are the things that other people are talking about: critical analysis about his work, news reportage about his work, and on and so forth. Being a giver of soundbite in an article whose primary subject is something other than him does not help — for example, this article helps to support the notability of Paul Humphrey as its subject, but does not help to support the notability of Geoff McOuat as the person who spoke about Humphrey's death to the media, because Humphrey is the subject of the piece and McOuat is not. And while the list certainly verifies the award nomination, it doesn't secure his notability all by itself if it's the only legitimate source that can be provided.

The result was delete. The "keep" arguments are based on this game winning one or more awards. But this does not address the arguments for deletion, which is a lack of reliable sources. Per WP:V, a core policy, we must not include content that cannot be verified in reliable sources. WP:GNG likewise requires such sources. I must therefore discount the "keep" opinions.

No sources provided on the article. BoardGameGeek do cover the game, but it is not WP:RS and coverage on BGG alone does not make a board game notable. Does not pass WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG. SunDawn (talk) 07:38, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I found a video review on a popular board gaming YT channel: [12]. Not seeing anything else that's reliable (a blog review here and there), and this title is new enough there should be some digitized coverage. Seems to fail WP:GNG.

Keep. It's an award-winning board game, winning the Charles S. Roberts Award for Best World War II Boardgame. It was also an extremely rare wargame which ranked in the Top 10 of Boardgamegeek.com briefly in 2005; Paths of Glory might be the only other wargame to achieve this ranking or fame.

Durindaljb, We only have a reference for Charles S. Roberts Award. Even if we accept it as significant, is winning a single award sufficient to make the game notable, given that it otherwise fails GNG - there are no reviews of other coverage? I am not convinced.

This article concerns a private school in Beverly Hills, California. According to the California Department of Education the school shut down in 2006. At present, the article cites two sources, both of which state only that Dan Brown briefly taught at the school. BEFORE searches likewise do not return any coverage about the school itself, only passing mentions regarding Brown's short tenure there. But, as is well established, notability is not inherited. And given that there is effectively no reliable, independent coverage regarding the school, I don't believe this article can meet any general or specific notability guideline and also that we lack sources to provide verifiable coverage. DocFreeman24 (talk) 00:48, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The article contains several pages of discussion about the school from former students of Rexford School. The students had attended the school over 30 years prior to the book's 2007 publishing. The article notes, "In the fall, I started at Rexford High School in Beverly Hills. This former house held a tiny, two-story school designed for working kids. I had about twenty-five people in my entire grade. Jay (North) went there along with Dino and Ricci Martin, Burt Lancaster's daughters, some producers' kids ... kinds in or around the business."
The article discusses Rexford Junior and Senior High School. The school was located at 9250 Olympic Boulevard in Beverly Hills. The school's principal was Dr. M. J. Firestone. The school offered electives in art, drama, and music.
The article said that Rexford Junior and Senior High School is "a fully accredited co-educational college preparatory day school". The article noted that the school has a class size ranging from 10 to 15 students. The article noted that Rexford used "newer concepts of mathematics and the oral-aural technique of a foreign languag[e]" in its teachings.
The article noted that the University of California accredited Rexford Junior and Senior High School's college preparatory program. The school has two directors: David W. Axelrod and his wife. The school has five faculty and 80 students. It was established five years ago. The article focuses on mathematics, science, and history, and has drama, art, and music enrichment classes.
The article notes, "Alfredo and Gustavo Diaz Ordaz Jr., sons of the President of Mexico, were recent visitors to Rexford School where they were guests of Ellen Fuchs, a student at the school."
The article notes that the Rexford Junior and Senior High School is presenting a fashion show and tea with "Mexican Holiday" as the theme. Money earned from the event was allocated to the Rexford Parents' Coordinating Council scholarship fund. Female students and their mothers modeled clothes from Sally's in Westwood. Male students modelled clothes from Brussells in Beverly Hills and Westwood.
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Rexford Junior and Senior High School (which was later known as Rexford College Preparatory High School and later known as Beverly Hills Preparatory School) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
Thanks for finding these. I'll leave it to other voters to assess for themselves, but none of these seem like "significant coverage" to me.
The LA Times references are extremely short and cover pretty trivial matters that I'm not sure would even warrant inclusion in an article. Ditto for the LA Evening Citizen articles, which, while a little longer cover perhaps the most routine things you can say about a school.
The Timmy's in the Well book is a sentence or two about the fact that some individuals attended the school and some basic attributes. But again, notability isn't inherited and there's really not meaningful discussion (as far as I can tell) of the school itself.
In short, while I appreciate you flagging these, even with these references in hand, I'm not sure we could even write a better article than the one that presently exists. But we'll see what others think as that's just my opinion and I appreciate you taking the time to compile these. DocFreeman24 (talk) 14:10, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's extremely questionable that the sons of the President of Mexico visiting the school makes it notable. Same goes for most of the other things that have been mentioned by Cunard for why the article should be kept. For instance, them "presenting a fashion show and tea with "Mexican Holiday" as the theme." Seriously folks. This whole thing is about more then just cutting and pasting trivial mentions that you found in a Google search and then calling it a day. Seriously folks, there has to be more then tea time and a fashion show for a private organization (even a school) to be notable. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:38, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Hi, most newspapers in Kenya now require a subscription to view articles. This is due to the fact that Nation Media Group has a large monopoly. The company in question is well mentioned, but those reviewing wiki references won’t be able to view them without paying. The article shouldn’t be deleted, and future articles referencing Kenya issues may also face a similar problem in proving authenticity.

Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and even looking at articles that are now "behind a paywall" such as this in The Standard and this in Nation Africa (which doesn't even mention the company) and having searched further online, I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. If someone wants to post a link to a reference they believe meets the criteria, please do so. Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 15:12, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - like HighKing, I can find no sources that cover the company in-depth, and therefore go towards showing notability if we're going by NCORP.

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. The Essential Superman Encyclopedia is not independent, and its coverage is limited to plot summaries and occasional notes about which issue a character debuted - this type of 'fanpedia' is often less useful than our own entries or most fan wikis.

Comment: Yes to the page views part, but as WP:GNG states that "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage," I do not think that one could say the CCS page could stay merely by having 3 sources. And you added one of them right before this vote, meaning that it would have had only 2 sources, failing your own test. --DePlume (talk) 14:54, 5 April 2021 (UTC) (Added to on 18:47, 5 April 2021 (UTC))[reply]
Comment - the current sourcing includes two simple listings, and a primary source, which doesn't meet either WP:GNG or WP:ORGDEPTH. Searches turned up some mentions in local newspapers, as you would expect of any high school in the U.S. In fact, there are far fewer than one would expect. You have to use the search term , "CCS" + Cooperstown, as they are known more by the acronym. Using that, they get far more hits, but all the usual local coverage you'd expect. Not sure it passes WP:CORPDEPTH. If more refs from non-local sources are added, let me know. Onel5969TT me 14:15, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not every single public high school is notable. At the rate we're going, articles of people that are "notable" for dying in WW2 and nothing else will be commonplace on this site soon. Lettlerhello • contribs 19:32, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep.Fiddle Faddle, there is a historical note at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES: At one time, secondary schools were assumed notable unless sources could not be found to prove existence, but following a February 2017 RFC, secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist, and are still subject to WP:N and WP:ORG. Now the relevant policy explanation is Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies): All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must satisfy either this guideline (WP:ORG) or the general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria. Note the notability requirement for public schools is WP:GNGorWP:ORG. My newspapers.com search today brought up 106 hits. Even assuming 95% of those hits are sports events, passing mentions of meetings held at the school, or of wedding notices mentioning alums of the school, I have so far found at least 4 articles I will be using to expand the article a bit.
