Delete. DGG, I'm surprised you didn't nominate this back in 2014 when you first came across it. There seems to be reasonable coverage of the companies (Forbes and Business Insider), so they could be repurposed into an article about one of them, but the founder does not seem to be notable.

Non-notable book lacking WP:SIGCOV. WP:BEFORE search yields only irrelevant results and the single source used in the article is not a review, rather just information about the book that does not verify notability. Fails WP:NBOOK. Waddles🗩🖉 03:27, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify There seems to be perfectly usable references, and possibly reviews to show notability in the Hebrew WP version of the article, as judged by Google Translate. I think it's reckless nominating an article for deletion for lack of sourcing without checking the linked WP article in the relevant language.

Supposed translation of id:Bukit Salang, but no such article exits at id.wiki, therefore it is impossible to refer to the original to attempt a better translation. The article was created by a known sock (now blocked), and comprises largely gibberish. Article was PROD'ed (by me) and PROD removed. The editor then added a bunch of sources that appear to have little to do with the topic.

I prodded this with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. I". It was deprodded by User:Dream Focus with an edit summary "notable from accomplishments". I am sorry but what accomplishments? The subject seems to have a reasonably successful career but that's not the same as meeting NBIO. There are no awards, no in-depth coverage of his life or said accomplishments - only a few mentions in passing that he worked on this or another game, plus a few interviews that are generally not about him but about projects he worked/works on. The article hasn't improved at all in half a year since the PROD, and I doubt it can be improved anytime soon given the lack of better sources, at least that I can find.

Keep The short article says he is one of the two designers of Diablo III, that a notable game that sold over 30 million copies. The subject specific guidelines for creative professions judges them playing a significant part in a notable creation. DreamFocus 16:43, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have a stance yet, but that argument alone isn't enough - it violates WP:NOTINHERITED. There's got to be more to be a valid keep rationale. Sergecross73msg me 18:20, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Diablo III. Not independently notable. KidAd • SPEAK 20:45, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That is a pointless essay. Interviews have always counted as reliable sources. They talk about him, his life, and his achievements in the game industry. All interviews talk about what the person does, what they are notable for. It clearly counts as significant coverage in a reliable source. DreamFocus 08:32, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It is a very useful essay, as it reminds us that most interviews are just a step away from SPS, as they repeat words by the subject ad verbatim. While they come with some editorial oversight, it doesn't change the fact that what we have in such cases is the subject speaking about themselves; at best, the usual editorial oversight concerns which parts of the interview are published and which (if any) are not. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:58, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
We're discussing the interview as indicating notability, not using it as a source of information in the article. Reliable sources believe someone is notable enough to write about them and/or interview them, then that counts towards their notability. They are independent from the subject since they are not owned by them or the company they work for. The general notability guidelines have thus been met. DreamFocus 09:49, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps we have to agree to disagree as I don't believe this niche interview meets the requirement of being "Independent of the subject", since they are just quoting him verbatim. See also WP:QSPiotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:44, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It is clearly defined at Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline as: "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent. DreamFocus 13:52, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Even all that aside, aren't we just talking about a single interview here? A single source is fundamentally not enough to satisfy the WP:GNG. Your argument has bigger issues here. Sergecross73msg me 15:54, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That article could be a perfectly useful source for an article about Diablo III. Nobody doubts that Kevin Martens is an expert about the development of Diablo III. That is not the same question as whether or not he has independent notability. ApLundell (talk) 15:08, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - WP:GNG not met, especially for a WP:BLP. There's minimal content anyways, the "article" isn't much more than someone converting a table of his development credits to the barest and most basic of sentences. Sergecross73msg me 11:17, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - No real independent notability is demonstrated or asserted. It's not like much content would be lost. Besides his CV, the article's content is three sentences. Two describing his love of scifi and fantasy, and one saying that he had difficulty adapting to America. (from Canada.) ApLundell (talk) 15:08, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment While the GNG is not met, there is arguably - I will not say for certain - sufficient reliable sourcing to have WP:NCREATIVE #3 be met, however, my understanding on NCREATIVE has tended to be that this is when we are talking projects developed by an individual or very very small team (2, 3 or so people). While he being a co-lead and thus a key person on D3's development is an important and critical role, we know that he was only one of dozens (if not towards 100+) people involved in the game, diluting how well NCREATIVE applies here. But I am only pointing this out, since this goes to Dream Focus's point above, but may not be sufficient to keep. --Masem (t) 19:13, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You bring this argument fairly often, but the section that contains it begins as follows:
People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards.
(emphasis mine)
NCREATIVE should be used as an indication that a subject could be notable, as to determine whether additional research could be viable, not to actually establish notability. The ultimate determination should still go through GNG, which this subject apparently fails (based on the comments above). IceWelder [✉] 06:37, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's unclear what the topic of this article is. There is no such thing as the "Flag of Panjshir," this article simply describes flags of other entities that are flown by belligerents in the ongoing Panjshir conflict. Panjshir itself has no flag to describe.
The designs in this article are described in better detail at Flag of Afghanistan, so the reader is better served by being simply reading that. I don't think Flag of Panjshir should become a redirect, though, as the title refers to something nonexistent and I doubt any reader will key that search term.
This article also appears to rely on original research. For example, the sentence "The internet, especially Amazon, have taken this and adapted it alongside phrases such as 'Panjshir Strong'." simply cites an Amazon listing, which is a non-notable primary source.

Although this was kept in a bludgeony flurry of repeated rapid renominations in 2011, our notability and sourcing standards have evolved significantly in the intervening decade, and the sourcing here falls very far short of where it would have to be -- it's referenced almost entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, such as IMDb and podcasts and blogs and YouTube video interviews in which he's talking about himself in the first person, while the two marginally acceptable sources (Wired and Ain't it Cool) are just brief glancing namechecks of his existence in listicles, not substantive enough to carry him over WP:GNG all by themselves if they're the best sources on offer. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the subject of much more substantial coverage and critical analysis than this.

The result was no consensus. With even distribution of keep and delete votes, there is no clear consensus to delete or keep. Article has already been re-listed twice. No prejudice against speedy re-nomination. (non-admin closure) 4meter4 (talk) 14:10, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. I made the article less awful by removing some self-references and adding some WP:RS references about a child getting lost at one location, a sudden shutdown of another franchise, and a municipality revoking the business license of yet another one after some violence. I think there is enough bad news to establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 11:13, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Which of those references meets WP:NCORP? I've read them and I don't see any that do. HighKing++ 15:14, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I find this rather unfair. Trampoline parks are fairly routine nowadays so they're highly unlikely to generate much coverage in a positive sense. They only generate coverage if something goes wrong. As such, it's really hard for us to maintain a neutral point of view (our sources can't). Is it fair on a business, or its users, to cherry-pick all the things that have gone wrong over the years to create an article that is entirely negative (as we needs must, given the sourcing problem), when the truth is that 99.99% of the subject's business is positive and completely un-notable? It might be more neutral to admit that the business is not notable and delete. At the moment we have the rather unsatisfactory situation of an article that basically says the business exists (and nothing much else) but bases this on sources whose message wasn't "it exists", but was "it messed up", so we're not really summarising the sources either. It's a genuine dilemma. To be clear: if a chain of trampoline parks became notable because it was outstandingly bad/unsafe, it would merit an article, but if a chain of trampoline parks is merely a non-notable chain much like every other chain, going about its normal business and happens to acquire a few articles on mishaps because that's the nature of the business, then in my view it remains rather un-notable.

Fails WP:NFOOTBALL having never played for or managed a club in a WP:FPL or a senior national team. Also fails WP:GNG due to a lack of significant coverage. Dougal18 (talk) 13:39, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Playing in the Eredivisie Vrouwen doesn't make someone notable. Source 1 is routine coverage (she scored a goal), source 2 is routine (she tore her cruciate ligament) source 3 is a quote from Verspagen and from a press release, source 4 is a couple of paragraphs shared with Pleun Raaijmakers, source 5 is routine (person comes back from injury) and 6 is from the sponsors of the league she plays in. Dougal18 (talk) 15:16, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would argue that source 5 is more than a passing mention. Not sure about the rest, I agree that they aren't clear cut on the SIGCOV element Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:41, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t agree that these sources are routine coverage. An injury, a transfer, an interview is news and a reason to start writing an article about her with also background information and not a “regular event”. And even if people still have the opinion that these articles are routine, it’s not a valid reason per Wikipedia:What is and is not routine coverage that states 1) "routine coverage" is not a disqualification for notability. 2) "routine coverage" may indeed be significant enough to surpass Wikipedia's general notability guideline. SportsOlympic (talk) 20:41, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If Verspaget hadn't been injured 2+5 would have never been written and this would be a delete. When a sportperson is relying on stories about their injuries to pass GNG then that goes to show how unnotable they are. Dougal18 (talk) 08:39, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
“If…, then…” is never a valid deletion argument. Keep looking at the facts. SportsOlympic (talk)
She was injured and came back from the injury. Two (stretching multiple sources to the limit) websites wrote about it. Those facts? Dougal18 (talk) 10:02, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"She is evidently a significant figure in Dutch ladies' football" On what basis? It can't be for her unsuccessful playing career. Dougal18 (talk) 09:36, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
She gets two articles written purely because of her injury. That's it. The susanrozemeijer.nl article is of dubious reliability. Keeping this discriminates against players who don't get injured and have their stories in the press. Dougal18 (talk) 13:14, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - playing in the Eredivisie Vrouwen is irrelevant; as noted above, paying in the league does not confer notability per WP:NFOOTBALL.

Another condo tower in a city with many. Fails WP:NBUILD. Only cursory mention in the media. Website UrbanToronto is commercial site promoting development and it barely mentions this tower. No content, or descriptive information available on its architecture or anything notable. Alaney2k (talk) 20:22, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I've improved and expanded the article. Passes WP:GNG. The comment that UrbanToronto "barely mentions this tower" simply isn't true, I found plenty of articles, some of which I've cited as sources. Project is interesting for its distinctive triangular shape, triangular swimming pool, height (at 224 metres tall), and its development on a tiny plot. UrbanToronto is perfectly adequate as a source in my opinion. NemesisAT (talk) 21:07, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The transaction is certainly part of most of those articles, but a lot is being told about the building itself as well. I am also not sure why being in the real estate section would disqualify the Star article, a very in-depth source; the newspaper has to put it in some section and real estate seems like the most obvious choice. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 20:38, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Since most of these high commissioners actually represented Australia to multiple Caribbean countries, maybe there should be a list under a heading of "List of Australian High Commissioners to Caribbean countries" with a list of which countries the commissioner represented Australia in? It doesn't say much for Australia-Jamaica relations that Australia chooses to locate its ambassador not in the most populous Commonwealth country in the Caribbean, but in a different country with less than half Jamaica's population. --Metropolitan90(talk) 04:16, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree with Metropolitan90. I think that making a list page for Caribbean ambassadors makes more sense than just redirecting to a different country. FiddleheadLady (talk) 19:49, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It's not merely "a different country". The High Commissioner in Trinidad and Tobago IS effectively the Australian diplomatic representative for the Caribbean. See this DFAT page which says: "The Australian High Commission is accredited to Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, The Bahamas and Trinidad and Tobago. The High Commission is also responsible for providing consular assistance in Anguilla, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dutch Leeward Antilles (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao), Dutch Leeward Islands (Sint Maarten, Saba, Sint Eustatius), French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Montserrat, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, and Turks and Caicos Islands".

Redirect to Volt Germany, for now. I'm not convinced that he meets WP:GNG since I haven't seen any significant third-party coverage on him. (The FAZ article has something but I don't think it counts towards GNG.) A redirect would be appropriate since people are likely to search for his name on WP because of his co-leadership of Volt.

Redirect – inclined to agree with the emerging consensus here, although it is honestly relatively close. NPOL's obviously a miss, but I like this article in de Volkskrant (specifically the word "kiesdrempel", as it were), and getting a long interview in the taz, while probably not the hardest thing in the world, does count toward something. But since much of the rest is (often local) routine announcements, candidate checks or passing mentions in pieces about his party, I'd also say he's not quite there yet. Maybe with another election cycle, but then again, you only get to be the unnerving upstart once... AngryHarpytalk 19:44, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep and consider renaming. Most of the delete !voters expressed concerns over tying three events in a year together, but there was a general consensus that the larger topic of Google service outages is a notable one and this article could be moved/renamed.

Article covering three temporary Google outages, only linked by happening in the same calendar year. None of the outages seem to have any greater significance, and the only coverage amounts to newspapers saying "yes it's down for everyone" and "it's up again." Mcrsftdog (talk) 22:14, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as these got a decent amount of attention in media. I'd support moving to a general title to include outages throughout all years - but I don't think we have articles for any other years (but if there was a 2021 outage, I'd move the article to something like "List of Google service outages" and include it).

None of these outages have anything to do with one another, they were just temporary unrelated blips in unrelated services, and the coverage is very shallow as nom notes - they happened, that's it.

It is synth, because it implies that the three events were recognised collectively as a signficant, which isn't demonstrated in the sources, which report on the events individually.

Delete: 3 disconnected events that all happened to be related to Google. The outages are no different than a thunderstorm, and have no lasting effect. If the cause of the outage was significant—such as a hack, or sabotage—that would solidify this as an article. As the 3 outages were minor technical faults, there is no lasting significance here.

Delete, this is akin to airplane accidents with no injuries or fatalities, which are not kept. These outages have no lasting impact and fails the WP:10YT. Geschichte (talk) 08:02, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/Move from 2020 Google services outages to Google service outages: The questions facing this article are: 1) Is there any natural reason to join these three events into one article, on the basis of "Google + calendar year"? 2) If not, do any of the outages merit an article on their own? 3) Are these events, together, notable enough for an article? On point (1), I agree that "2020" is arbitrary, but I will argue point (3), that the collection of these events *is* significant and notable as a key piece of historical context of the certainly-notable 2021 Facebook outage.
News coverage of the Facebook outage has frequently made reference to the 2020 Google outage(s). It's presumably why this article is in the spotlight right now, and it's certainly the reason behind the *40-fold* increase in pageviews in the last two days. This suggests some degree of lasting significance as of 1 year later (we'll have to see about 10 years). (I would note that WP:10YT is not a litmus test for WP:NOTABILITY, and likewise, WP:EFFECT is a sufficient-but-not-necessary criterion.)
Were these 2020 Google outages WP:NOTABLE *before* the Facebook outage? It's a moot point, but I think we can all agree that a service disruption *significant enough* notable -- see also List of major power outages. The sheer number of individuals and businesses that rely upon Gmail, YouTube, Google Calendar, etc. means that any outage of these services is inherently *closer to* notability than outages of other websites.
Regardless of these 2020 Google outages' notability as standalone events, they are now notable outside of themselves as part of a larger conversation about dependence on Internet corporations, consolidation, etc. This "larger conversation" includes the US Congress holding hearings and considering legislation. This is the context which makes the details of these Google outages notable: how big or small they were, how brief or extended, avoidable or unavoidable they were.
Therefore, the information in this article is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. Where? 2021_Facebook_outage#Background? Not great. YouTube#Service_outages and Gmail#Service_outages and ...? No, it should be in a single place. I think it would be appropriate to simply move this article to Google service outages and add any earlier and later events as relevant and notable.

Keep and repurpose to List of Google outages, or even more generally to List of cloud service outages with inclusion criteria similar to List of major power outages. A book chapter "Risk management in the cloud and cloud outages" has a table of outages on page 1728 covering 2008 to 2013. "Why Does the Cloud Stop Computing?: Lessons from Hundreds of Service Outages" covers 597 unplanned outages from 2009 to 2015. These outages have huge economic significance, for Google as well as its users; this book says "Just a few days earlier, in an unrelated outage, Google's home page briefly went offline, costing the company more than half a million dollars in lost ad revenue in just five minutes".

Fails WP:MMABIO criteria, as he does not have 3 fights in top tier promotions, nor as he been ranked anywhere near the top 10 of his division by Sherdog or FightMatrix. Also fails WP:GNG as his main coverage is through routine sporting reports. ♡RAFAEL♡(talk) 11:36, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn. (non-admin closure) As sufficient sources were found by another user to demonstrate notability, I am withdrawing the nomination. Thanks for finding sources. --Lenny Marks (talk) 19:28, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that the article fails notability per WP:NSCHOOL. The article cites no sources whatsoever, and I have done a search for mentions and have not found "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject," as required. Lenny Marks (talk) 10:36, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Easily meets WP:GNG, as does pretty much every other secondary school in the United Kingdom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:55, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
And WP:ORG says it has to be multiple sources. I tried, and failed, to find that. Did you manage to do so?
Plenty of sources online. Oh, and as the nominator please don't vote twice. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:52, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ah sorry, did not mean to vote twice. The problem I had was that the sources I found (with the exception of one) were not "independent" because they were either from the school website or seemed to be reports or material commissioned by the school. Obviously, if you managed to find independent, significant, mentions then it should not be deleted, but I do not see them. Sorry if I'm missing an obvious one. --Lenny Marks (talk) 11:08, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I added 5 articles clipped from newspapers.com to the article's talk page. Under WP:NEXIST,
The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article.
See also NORG's alternate criteria and WP:NSCHOOLS, which exempt not-for-profit schools from the requirements of NORG. This article does need revision for neutral encyclopedic language and for addition of reliable sources, but since multiple reliable, independent sources do exist, the school therefore meets GNG.

The result was delete. I'm jointly closing the AfDs about Clothed female, naked male and Clothed male, naked female. In each case, there is consensus to not keep the article, which leaves us to decide whether the outcome is delete or merge.

Merge with Clothed male, naked female. There is writing about this topic in the context of erotica and art history, though you do have to sift through a lot of pornography to find it. The two articles both cover the broader concept of art or erotica in which some of the participants are clothed and others are not, either for its own sake, or representative of power dynamics that appeal to artistic expression and to BDSM enthusiasts. Some examples, not all RS and not all use the term exactly; I promise none are porn but can't promise they're all safe-for-work: [11][12][13][14][15][16].

Strong delete. Three fundamental problems. The article's focus cannot be demonstrated as notable in 3rd-party sources. I appreciate the good-faith efforts of Ivanvector and others to look for a proper fire under all the smoke, but I don't see any good sources for this concept. The concept is also not verifiable, as named and defined here. Either of those obvious problems should kill the article. Lastly there's the trickier third problem of where does this idea come from? that editors here and in [previous AfD] have gotten caught up in, instead of addressing #1 and #2. Is porn the context? Is feminism the context? Is European art history the context? The article is no help. Its first sentence claims CFNM is "a genre of nudity based on the real or imagined interaction of one or more nude men and one or more clothed women," which is a definition that says the same thing twice, plus it turns on that nonsense phrase "genre of nudity". Ghits on "genre of nudity" mostly gives back results pointing back to this article. We don't need to guess around about the context. We don't need to go that far. --Lockley (talk) 18:27, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The draft page still exists at Draft:Surrogate (film), work on the article there and then request a new review. It is not helpful to have a mainspace page and a draft page in existence at the same time.

This is an unreleased film, scheduled for release in November 2021. Nothing in this article indicates that the production of the film satisfies general notability. The three general references do not establish notability, because two are the director's own, and one is IMDB. This article was moved from article space to draft space by a reviewer, but the author then moved a copy into article space, so that it is in both draft space and article space, but does not satisfy film notability.

This is evidence of reader excitement in anticipation of the movie. Readers expect the article to exist, and want to add it it. This is the wiki way. This is how Wikipedia attracts new editors. Blocking the enthusiastic newcomers and SALTing missing article titles in not how to attract and retain new editors.

Hi, I am quite confused with what's going on. The 'Surrogate film' as per the articles is about to be completed and released. It has already had advanced publicity and articles written about it when it won screenplay competitions and when it completed production.
Wikipedia is very confusing for a beginner and the 1st time I created the article it wouldn't even allow me to access 'review draft' or 'more/move'option after writing the content. A few days later I tried again by setting up a second user to be able to ' and now am not sure which one of the drafts you are referring to. If you tell me which user version you are debating article on Dreamoutloud19 or Dream1924 I can delete the other account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.193.141.109 (talk) 06:58, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I sure hope that you did not interpreter my comment as directed personally at you, assuming you are Dream1924 and/or Dreamoutloud19. The comment is in regards of whether or not the article you have created meets criteria to be on Wikipedia. Please continue contribute to Wikipedia but do so IAW WP guidance and philosophy. A good point to start is reading WP:FIRST and WP:NOT, for the films/movies articles please read WP:NFILM. Good luck Kolma8 (talk) 21:52, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now. The coverage for this is pretty light, too light for it to pass NFF at this point in time. Sending it to AfC/draftspace so it can be incubated for a little while and then resubmitted once more coverage comes available is always a possibility. However at this point in time there's just not really enough. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 14:51, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi what do you mean the coverage is pretty light at this stage? What does the page require for a a film that is about to be released to be on wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dream1924 (talk • contribs) 03:09, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -
This draft or article is about an unreleased film. The film notability guideline identifies three stages in the production cycle for films:
2. Films that are confirmed by reliable sources to have begun production, but have not been released. These films are only notable if production itself satisfies general notability in terms of significant coverage. Mere mention of the start of production does not satisfy notability.
3. Films that have been released, whose notability is determined primarily by reception and reviews.
This film page must be evaluated based on general notability of production.
Category:AfC comment templates
An analysis of the sources shows that only sources 7 and 8 are about the film. Only source 8 is about production of the film. Source 7 is a passing mention, and is not about production of the film. Source 8 is about production, but it based on an interview. The sources do not establish that production has met general notability, probably because it has not done so.

Article about production, based on interview with filmmaker
Keep. Passes WP:NFF. Principle photography has commenced. And has finished, it is in post-production, and release is imminent. It might even be released before the conclusion of this AfD. Between now and release, there will continue to be new sources, and new readers wanting Wikipedia’s quality coverage, and budding new editors who will keep trying to make the missing article if it is not there. NFF does not require the GNG, but is permission to exist in anticipation of quality sources that are coming. If they don’t come, then delete about a week after release, when NFF no longer applies. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:09, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
First criteria, the film has to have some sort of notability, WP:GNG. ✗ Fail
Second criteria, NFF requires at minimum that filming/production has begun. ✓Pass
Third criteria, the filing/production has to be notable. ✗ Fail
So this article should be moved to draft space until such time as the film has been released and is notable. Platonk (talk) 08:39, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I understood NFF very well many years ago. What you are describing is absurdity. First and third criteria as you describe serve to nullify the essence of NFF.
if the GNG is meet, there is no need for NFF. The point of NFF is for when the GNG is not (clearly) met.
Also note, the GNG is a guideline, and it can’t cover everything. It doesn’t cover future films, NFF is for that.
The base policy is WP:PSTS. It limits content. If there are no secondary sources there can be no content. There is, however, WP:STUB.
The first and third criteria as written need severe weakening. SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:06, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
User:SmokeyJoe - I have reviewed the history of NFF. It has not changed substantively since 2008. Either you are referring to a version of NFF that was superseded in 2008, or there have been two competing interpretations of NFF for thirteen years. In any case, if you think that the criteria need 'severe weakening', that would be a good comment to make at the film notability talk page. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:44, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What is absurd is you thinking that GNG is the finish line, not the starting gate, and yet this article hasn't even made it to the race. Per WP:GNG, "A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, ... If a topic does not meet these criteria but still has some verifiable facts, it might be useful to discuss it within another article." This article doesn't come close to meeting the criteria for a standalone article. And whatever NFF policy might have said 'years ago' must not be what it says today. If you disagree with a guideline or policy, then bring it up on the appropriate noticeboard or talk page; this AfD ain't it. Platonk (talk) 09:29, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, this is it. AfD is where decisions are made. The notability guidelines are predictors of what AfD will decided. Without care, this becomes circular.
These films should be kept because they will be notable very soon, and for Wikipedia to be a timely resource, it needs an article for references to be added to as they arise. In the meantime, it meets WP:STUB. The current articles has a lot less poor quality sources than I saw in draft, but it can be pared down further. SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:37, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I edited the article to fix citation and external link violations, and did some formatting and corrections. (Sorry, Robert McClenon, that messes with the counters on your table above.) Platonk (talk) 08:39, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to User:Platonk - It appears that you removed six of the references. I don't think that removing the references in an article that has been nominated for deletion is a good idea. I know that you and I think that they do not provide significant coverage, but other editors may disagree. I have inserted the changed numbers in the table, but I dislike the idea of removing references. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:44, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Robert McClenon: The reasons were in the the edit summaries. The first three were actually external links to actress websites masquerading as citations; they verified no content whatsoever. The next three were off the wall articles completely irrelevant to the topic of the wiki article, and didn't support any of the article content at all. I would defend those particular edits whether the article was being considered at AfD or not. I'm not sure whether you are objecting to the edits, or the timing of them. I've never seen an AfD where someone complained about editing an article during AfD (unless it was a bad or wrong edit). If that were the policy, then a caution against editing would be part of the AfD banner on the article page, but instead the banner includes "Feel free to improve the article", so I did. Sometimes you have to make such edits to see what is left to work with. And sometimes the other AfD participants need to see what we're left to work with. The emperor has no clothes.Platonk (talk) 01:30, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I shaved off some of the miscellaneous additions that merely had an association with the city of Rome, rather than the Roman Empire. The additions of links to the Roman Republic and Kingdom can be useful to the common reader, who may not know the distinction between the three Roman states. Otherwise, it works fine as a disambig page since it ties together multiple similarly name articles. Curbon7 (talk) 05:21, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Curbon7; the "See also" section is also unusually helpful. In its current form, the whole thing is a useful contents-page for ancient Rome topics plus a few extras. Elemimele (talk) 05:41, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The page looks absolutely fine to me. Some of the lower entries stretch the point a bit and might be trimmed off, but that’s not an argument for deleting the whole thing. There’s no question that the term is regularly used to cover the upper entries. Mccapra (talk) 06:31, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This seems like a perfectly valid navigational page to me. The (strictly speaking, incorrect) use of the term "Roman Empire" to refer to other periods in the history of Rome is not uncommon, so it doesn't seem unlikely at all that somebody searching for the term "Roman Empire" would actually be looking for e.g. Ancient Rome in general or even the Roman Republic specifically (how common a misconception is it that Julius Caesar was an emperor of Rome? My feeling is that it is a very common misconception). With regards to the nominator's comment about republics being considered empires: that's not all that uncommon, because there's more than one sense of the word "empire". There is of course the sense which relates to the form of government, i.e. a state with an emperor or empress, which obviously precludes republics. But there is also the geopolitical (or foreign policy) sense of the term empire, which doesn't. The French Third Republic had a colonial empire – the (second) French colonial empire. The United States is a republic, but the phrase "American empire" is in common use by academics and laypeople alike. Even the article Roman Empire says about Rome that it was an "empire" (i.e. a great power) long before it had an emperor in the first paragraph following the WP:LEAD. Whether people should be using "empire" in the geopolitical sense is a question that can be debated, but there's no denying that they do. TompaDompa (talk) 08:32, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly the term can apply to Republican Rome following the Punic Wars, since Rome did in fact rule an empire; and from various points in the late third to the fifth century there could be said to be two Roman Empires (or one) depending on your point of view; the Eastern Roman Empire continued to flourish until 1453 (even though we more often refer to it as the "Byzantine Empire" after 476); the "Holy Roman Empire" was an entirely separate entity from the time of Charlemagne onwards, but could be confused with its "spiritual predecessors"; and there are other uses readers might encounter. So this page serves a necessary and useful purpose. P Aculeius (talk) 12:41, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I think Clarityfiend has raised a fair question here but a page like this would help the readers and should not be taken too literally in terms of content or purpose. The page needs to be modified and enhanced to improve the user experience, not deleted. The Roman Empire began long before Augustus and, as P Aculeius says above, it strictly speaking ended in the 4th century, not the 5th. As for republican empires, I think it is fair to say that the USSR was an empire. No Great Shaker (talk) 12:59, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Clarityfiend has indeed raised an important point: whether we're here to cater for the ignorant. I'd say that as an Encylopaedia, yes we are: our readers include school-kids with very basic knowledge, crossword-solvers, random people who've watched a costume-drama and want to know a bit more, etc., and we should help all of them find good information even if their initial knowledge is wobbly, misguided and ambiguous. As a disambiguation page, this page may help to clear up their misunderstandings and point them to the information they're looking for, even if they don't know the correct search-term. Elemimele (talk) 18:09, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The content of disambiguation pages should, as a matter of encyclopedic utility, be as broad as possible. I have read the guidelines on disambiguation pages, and I think that they are less than clear because they are written in an open-ended fashion. The current disambiguation page contains information that may be useful, as User: Elemimele says, to the ignorant. Any narrow interpretation of the disambiguation guidelines is either a mistakenly narrow interpretation, or an indication that the guidelines should be broadened. The nominator's objection seems to be the breadth. If there are specific issues, discuss them at Talk:Roman Empire (disambiguation). If there are guideline issues, discuss them at a policy page, bearing in mind that the guidelines should be broad. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:26, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is clearly an advert article edited by COI users and was created through gaming the system. So it should be deleted on those things alone. Even if that wasn't the case though most (or all) of the references in the article are questionable at best, and at worst completely inadequate. --Adamant1 (talk) 16:58, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Genesis (band)#ReGenesis since they are already mentioned at the target. Any further merging is a matter for editorial discussion. SpinningSpark 17:50, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm struggling to see the notability of this band. The article has two references, one of which is a gig review (no evidence it is from an authoritative source) and the other – although published in Sound on Sound (which is a RS) – was written by a member of the band.
There are a few mentions of the band having worked with notable musicians, but WP:NOTINHERITED. I think this is a case of WP:EXIST, and there are a) no reasonable claims to notability, and b) no reliable third party sources to back anything up. MIDI (talk) 20:56, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I have removed a lot of unsourced and unverifiable content, so the article looks substantially different to when I nominated it here. For the sake of transparency, this diff shows the edit. MIDI (talk) 08:15, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep or selective merge to Genesis (band)#Legacy in a new subsection. I did find one quality piece of RS on the band in a university library search accessed through PROQUEST: "SHOW PEOPLE: SEE THE REGENERATION GAME". The Stage. October 7, 1999. p. 10. The group is also mentioned in these, three, books by respected musicologists; but they are brief mentions which all state that they are a notable tribute band. 4meter4 (talk) 23:56, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. So, they're a tribute band, and the evidence we have says that they're a tribute band who have performed at some concerts, which is what tribute bands do. Or, to put it another way, they've got a job, and they do it. This isn't enough to create notability: you are not notable simply for doing your job. How about their recordings? None of them seems to meet the notability requirements for recorded music: they haven't charted, they haven't acquired notability through being featured in an important cultural artifact or event or performance, and so on. Are they a supergroup and thus notable for that? No. I think it's fairly clear that this article, though it probably does contain truths, doesn't contain any truths that are notable. RomanSpa (talk) 09:35, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Respectfully, I disagree with your characterization of the sources. The majority of tribute bands don't get mentioned in serious musicology literature. This tribute band is acknowledged by multiple musicologists as a notable tribute band in scholarly writing. Additionally, the article in The Stage gives significant in depth independent coverage of this band, which is not something that happens often with tribute bands in print media.4meter4 (talk) 07:18, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional article. Lots of credits to his name, but few sources. The best source is the from Mix (magazine): and it's in the article right now: [23]. It's entirely about the company he founded, RavensWork, and contains almost no biographical information about him. It cannot show the notability of the company either as it fails WP:ORGIND.
