Notability is not WP:INHERITED, I don't see how this person is notable. Being a child of Robert Burns does not automatically make someone notable, per WP:INVALIDBIO: That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A (unless significant coverage can be found on A); relationships do not confer notability. There is no significant coverage as far as I can see. Hemiauchenia (talk) 19:38, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would support a Merge to Elizabeth Paton, per Cielquiparle below. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:21, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]


The article about Elizabeth Bishop (Burns), the daughter of Robert Burns, should not be removed. Why not?

  1. In the reasons for deletion within the deletion policy of Wikipedia, no convincing argument can be found to delete this article. It is true that in the section about inherited notability it says: "The fact of having a famous relative is not, in and of itself, sufficient to justify an independent article." However, this is not only contradicted by the general notability guideline ("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.") but by the reality in Wikipedia itself. This is not an oddity or oversight; it just clearly is in line with one of the five pillars of Wikipedia: "Wikipedia has no firm rules" which, among other things, says: "Wikipedia has policies and guidelines, but they are not carved in stone." It matters for our actual discussion here because there are very very many examples in Wikipedia where articles about people exist for the only reason that they were relatives of somebody famous – like William Shakespeare's grandfather Richard Shakespeare, his parents John Shakespeare and Mary Shakespeare, his wife Anne Hathaway, and his children Susanna Hall, Judith Quiney and Hamnet Shakespeare; Rembrandt's son Titus van Rijn; Martin Luther's wife Katharina von Bora and three of his children Elisabeth Luther, Magdalena Luther and Paul Luther; or Charles Dickens' parents John Dickens and Elizabeth Dickens, and many more members of his family including ten (!) dedicated articles about his children. There are even two separate articles in Wikipedia about Barack Obama's dogs Bo and Sunny. Mentioning these examples here is by no means done to belittle them, rather the opposite; they certainly show at least two things: firstly, that a clear-cut policy in Wikipedia to remove such articles doesn't exist and, secondly, that these articles enrich Wikipedia. Of course always, and importantly, under certain conditions, e.g. that reliable sources are added.
  2. Many other dedicated articles in Wikipedia have been created about people who were in one way or another associated with Robert Burns. If he had not become a famous poet, we most likely wouldn't know anything about these people. The following Wikipedia articles simply wouldn't exist: about his wife Jean Armour; his parents William Burnes and Agnes Broun; his siblings Gilbert Burns, Agnes Burns, Annabella Burns, William Burns, John Burns, Isabella Burns; his father-in-law James Armour; several of his children Robert Burns Junior, William Nicol Burns, James Glencairn Burns, Francis Wallace Burns, Betty Burns; his friends or lovers Jean Lorimer, Frances Dunlop, Jessie Lewars, May Cameron, Jean Gardner, Nelly Kilpatrick, Nelly Blair, Alison Begbie, Peggy Thompson, Elizabeth Paton, Ann Park, Mary Campbell, Jenny Clow, Agnes Maclehose. Would anybody seriously consider to delete all those articles as well?
  3. The suggestion to remove the article about Elizabeth Bishop could imply that she is regarded as a less worthy child of Robert Burns because she was illegitimate, maybe also because she was a girl. Such attitudes, of course, should not have any bearing in Wikipedia. It also doesn't stand up to the facts. Robert Burns not only acknowledged her as his Love-begotten Daughter with a poem but also secured her financially later with the profits from the 'Kilmarnock Edition' of his poems.
  4. Betty Burns was, like Elizabeth Bishop, also one of Robert Burns' illegitimate children, and also a girl. That article shouldn't be deleted either, should it?
  5. Is Elizabeth Bishop considered a person not "notable" enough to remain in Wikipedia because she is assumed to not have achieved much in life? How should this be defined? Not everybody can be a famous politician or accomplished artist or remarkable for some other reason. She simply is the child of Robert Burns which certainly is the only reason why she is known today and people might be interested in her. The closer it gets to our actual time the more examples can be found of people, many of them still alive, who are in Wikipedia only because they are the children of a well-known person. The reason that a growing number of such articles exists is the fact that a huge amount of information can be found in a variety of modern sources about these more recent people to justify their notability in Wikipedia, even independently of being a child of somebody famous. With such rich and detailed material it is possible to find something remarkable or noteworthy about pretty much anybody with a famous parent. But that simply isn't possible in the same way with Elizabeth Bishop. From that point of view, she is just unlucky that she lived such a long time ago, otherwise we also could supply many sources with minute details about her life which would make her "notable".

Stillbusy (talk) 15:40, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not an argument in favour of notability. The fact that we have over a dozen articles dedicated to questionably notable relatives/friends/lovers of Burns doesn't mean that they inherently deserve separate articles. Much of this could be consolidated into a single article, perhaps titled Family of Robert Burns? Much of what you have written in this wall of text is frankly contrary to Wikipedia's established notability policies, particularly WP:INVALIDBIO: That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A (unless significant coverage can be found on A); relationships do not confer notability. However, person A may be included in the related article on B. For example, Jason Allen Alexander is included in the article on Britney Spears and the page Jason Allen Alexander merely redirects to that article. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:19, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Stillbusy I agree that there is a lot of confusion in deletion discussions about applying contemporary standards of notability to historical figures, often inappropriately or unfairly, and without much understanding of historical context or sources. That said, my impression is that over the last couple of years, Wikipedia standards have become more strict about standalone articles about family members of historical figures – to the point that there is a lot of consolidation of this type of biographical content, which may seem surprising at first. The fact that many "family member" articles currently exist for Robert Burns and other authors doesn't mean they will all survive future deletion discussions. (Disappointing, I know.) To me, what is important is the actual content, and if quality information and sources can continue to reside on other pages, that is still a net plus for Wikipedia. In this particular case, it really doesn't help that even the ''Burns Encyclopedia'' doesn't seem to offer a standalone entry for this Elizabeth, and that there is barely any information available about her, outside from the poem (which overlaps on the Elizabeth Paton page), and a few facts about her life. Cielquiparle (talk) 16:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Stillbusy OK, I've had another thought, which is: One way to save this as a standalone article might be to look for secondary coverage about the poem dedicated to Elizabeth Bishop. If there is enough analysis found about the poem itself, in additional sources, we could add more content about that and try to justify keeping the page (although we might need to reframe it more to be about the poem, with background information about her). The other thing I wanted to clarify is that after "merging" content, what typically happens is that Elizabeth Bishop (Burns) would become a redirect, so if there is in fact anyone looking for her by that name, they would still be likely to find content about her on Wikipedia on whichever page the redirect is pointing to.

Does not pass WP:GNG or WP:WEBCRIT. The previous AfD ended in no consensus because no one participated in the discussion. I can't find any better sources and the best sources currently cited are minor awards. Maybe if the awards had been a Webby Award and an Ambie Award I would consider it enough to pass WP:WEBCRIT, but I don't think a couple podcast awards is enough.

Non-notable per WP:GNG academic and engineer. Taken from this revision, I did a quick analysis on the sourcing over at the corresponding section at WP:BLPN.[9] This includes self-published sources, primary sourcing, links to websites where published papers can be searched such as semanticscholar.com, and his personal website. On top of the poor sourcing which does not demonstrate notability, the subject has authored several technical books but nothing of the significance in the genre or in terms of overall literature that would support WP:NAUTHOR. WP:NPROF criteria does not appear to be met either.

Vanity organization of local interest. Does not pass WP:NCORP. BikePortland.org, a one man show reporting outlet does not have meaningful impact in terms of establishing notability and coverage of this organization in media of regional or national coverage is nowhere at the level of significant coverage. Sources have been added since nomination; however numerous minor coverage isn't the equivalent of several coverage in depth and notability isn't inherited. The article on Sarah Iannarone becomig the executive director of this organization is more about her than it being a significant coverage on the organization. Graywalls (talk) 08:05, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep It's not immediately apparent if this organization passes or fails WP:NCORP. There are a lot of insignificant mentions of the org (under its current and former names), especially in the Oregonian. Better citations of existing coverage in newspapers and government documents could prove notability.

Comment Government documents are generally PRIMARY sources. For example, when a non-profit does more than a certain amount of financial activity, by law, form 990 must be filed. The existence simply means they filed a legally required paperwork. It has nothing to do with notability. Per WP:SIRS, things used to establish notability have to be secondary and totally independent. Government documents / primary sources aren't forbidden when used sensibly, but they're not stuffers to fill contents and would hold no weight in notability.

Leadership changes in the organization also regularly receive significant coverage from news outlets like the Oregonian:
Despite the assertion that the Iannarone sources are about her, they are also about, and contain significant coverage of, the organization itself. This 30-year-old organization has also had a significant impact on transportation legislation and policies. Its efforts led to changes in metropolitan mass transit policy to require bicycle racks for buses and its lawsuit against the City of Portland changed the interpretation and enforcement of the Oregon Bicycle Bill. gobonobo + c 16:55, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As much of the new material provided is not available free online, it would be helpful if someone could identify the specific sources that qualify as "reliable, independent, in-depth coverage". I was only able to find short mentions. BruceThomson (talk) 07:07, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is definitively significant coverage, a cover story in the Willamette Week (per the other Willamette Week link above). Jfire (talk) 01:10, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's a local weekly intended for Portland, Oregon only. Which piece in national or regional media outlet significant, independent secondary coverage to satisfy WP:AUD of at least one regional or national coverage criteria of WP:CORP is satisfied? Graywalls (talk) 04:52, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I concede that the Willamette Week is a local media outlet. But we assess the balance of all sources. A cover story in local media, significant and sustained coverage in the major regional paper, documented impacts on state legislation, and coverage in book sources, on balance, establish that this organization meets the WP:CORP requirements.

Tagged as unsourced since 2015, this is a station that was never actually authorized to sign on despite filing for a license application (one day before its 2009 expiration) because the application was incomplete.

One of hundreds of Iranian citizens who have been detained and abused in custody by Iranian security forces during the Mahsa Amini protests. Most of them receive passing mentions, initial bursts of coverage, and attention in local sources. Only a handful of them receive substantial coverage over a period of time, or have a significant, tangible impact. As tragic as Abbasi's detention, abuse, and alleged death may be, I cannot see how she is not one of the aforementioned handful. Mooonswimmer 05:04, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Saying that her case is not notable is similar to saying that the mistreatment and death of George Floyd or shooting of Sandra Bland are not notable because so many others have had a similar story and caused outrage for a while without resulting in tangible impact. These kinds of stories become actionable and impactful precisely when the name of the victims are well known and what happened to them can be corroborated by witnesses and verified by journalists, and something about the victim touches people.
Armita Abbasi's case is relevant, because both her image and her name are known, and because some of the details of what has happened to her have been corroborated by multiple credible witnesses who have risked their lives to offer proof of who they are and how they know what they know, making it possible for credible reporters to verify the information.
Armita is also relevant and significant because she represents an unknown number of others in a similar situation whose stories are not known or cannot be verified. Her first name and image has become shorthand for protesters that have been repeatedly raped (and for those whose whereabouts are unknown) in video tributes, Youtube reaction videos, vlogs, and articles.
Her case is relevant because it documents one of the patterns of events that have been rumored to happen in Iran not just with the current imprisoned protesters, but also prisoners from past protests.
She is relevant because, before hearing about her people like me didn't know that this was one of the possibilities for prisoners in Iran, and no credible reporter can inform anyone about people suffering a similar fate if they cannot point to a verifiable case. 104.35.149.100 (talk) 23:39, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A fictional location from DC comics. The article consists solely of a plot summary and a list of appearances in various media, and fails WP:GNG, my BEFORE did not reveal anything useful (the best I have is a passing mention in [14] that this location is related to the concept of imagination).

Aryan valley[edit]

Aryan valley (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

This is really a non-topic. The term "Aryan Valley" has been invented by the tourist industry to capitalise on the supposed "Aryanness" of the Brokpa people in Ladakh. Since they speak an Indo-Aryan language even though in the middle of a Tibetic-speaking region, the British chose to refer to them as "Aryans". More than half of India and Pakistan speaks Indo-Aryan languages. So there is nothing special here. A recent paper explained the problem saying, "A strong rumour persists which claims the Brokpa belong to 'pure Aryan stock' and this is accounted in sensational newspaper stories and documentaries on the internet, with rumours claiming that westerners come to Leh in search of the Brokpa, to have a pure Aryan child born to them." The paper did a genetic search for the supposed "Aryan genes" in this population, and didn't find many. They found South Indian "Dravidian genes", though.[1]

Whatever can be salvaged from this page can be added to Brokpa people. There is no need for this page at all. Kautilya3 (talk) 23:22, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Aoidh, you have provided only one source, and it does not satisy the significant coverage criterion, because there are only passing mentions of "Aryan valley" put in quotation marks. It is also doubtful if it is reliable, because newspaper articles are only reliable for news, not ethnography. We need a minimum of two reliable sources with signiicant coverage to meet WP:GNG. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:11, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NEWSORG. See WP:CONTEXTMATTERS. A newspaper article claiming certain groups to be "Aryan" carries no weight whatsover, especially when scholarly sources have denied it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:41, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I provided one source because the rest are in the article and very clearly show notability. With that article I shared above, the entire article is about that area by that name; that it only uses that name once does not matter, its about the article's subject. That coverage could not be more significant. This entire piece is about the article's subject. Here is a book source that goes into some detail. Here is a piece from the Journal of the Anthropological Society of India. I'm not going to just list examples but they are numerous, and more than sufficient to show notability through WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND. There is significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, which is exactly what WP:GNG looks for. If your issue is with the specific name then that's an WP:RM issue, not an WP:AFD one. There is no reason to delete this article. - Aoidh (talk) 02:01, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever you mean by "signficant coverage", it cannot possibly mean one-sentence or half-a-sentence mentions. Tht is what you find in your first source and your third source. Your second source has a few more mentions, but it is an anthropological study that is describing how the people are using the term; the scholar is not using it or descrbing it. For example, she says:

Soon after their villages were thrown open to tourism, Brogpa travel agents, either independently or in collaboration with more established tourist companies, organized packaged tours to explore the "Aryan Valley".

You cannot possibly derive a Wikipedia page out of such mentions. In summary, you have produced nothing of use here, and your claim of WP:GNG is wholly unsubstantiated. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:34, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It seems like you're reading only the abstract of this, because it has much more than a single sentence. Here is yet another with significant coverage; it's not hard to find many sources that detail this subject with much more than enough coverage to easily meet WP:GNG. I'm not sure how downplaying the one study as an anthropological study that is describing how the people are using the term somehow diminishes its significant coverage of the subject; it is precisely the type of source that the article needs and unambiguously contributes to the well-established notability of the subject. Remove this fine, there's still multiple sources with significant coverage of the article's subject, even if one of them is merely anthropological, as if that's a bad thing. The argument that the sources available for this subject lack significant coverage is not a persuasive one, especially if you take the time to look for sources not listed in the article. - Aoidh (talk) 23:40, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am quite confused as to why Kautilya3 is now dismissing an anthropological study, after telling me that news stories < scholarly sources, which is of course a good rule of thumb, but does not for all of that preclude the use of news sources. This editor has for example been edit-warring to keep Al-Jazeera out of Brokpa, even though it is a reliable source all day long, not to mention reverting sourced additions as "OR". This would seem to be inconsistent. AGF, it is possible that the editor is worried about the admittedly awful use that was made of the term "Aryan" in the late 19th and early 20th century, and is under the impression that Minaro123 wants to endorse this origin story, which is not the case. It is simply the name someone else gave his language group ;) Yet the best explanation I can conceive of for what is going on here is that he's being held responsible for its appropriation by crazy people a hundred years ago. Admittedly he is new and on his fourth or fifth language and therefore somewhat difficult to understand at times, not to mention only just now beginning to understand reliable sources since someone has taken the trouble to explain the policy to him. I don't see Kautilya3 making any effort to collaborate however.
It takes more than dismissiveness to AfD an article, and beyond the genetics discussion that Kautilya3 seems to want Brokpa to be, there is a great deal that can be said about the identity as an economic initiative, about the politics of sovereignty in Kashmir, about the fragmentation of an endangered language, about the Line of Control, which goes right past some of these villages and has split families up with members on both sides, about initiatives to preserve the culture and about a proliferation of microbusinesses around this renaming. All of this can be done while explicitly repudiating neo-Nazis and refraining from making the article into some sort of promo booking site. I do also think that Kautilya3 should refresh her understanding of the RS and NPOV policies. Being written about by anthropologists does not preclude a cultural isolate from being a living breathing community of individuals who farm, choose sides in a conflict or run for office. If Kautilya3 wishes her article to purely focus on the anthropological body of work, then fine: another article can quite legitimately focus on the other aspects of the community, especially when there's a completely different nomenclature. OWNership is not a healthy trait in one article, let alone when someone is insisting that it should be the *only* article. Elinruby (talk) 11:27, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Elinruby, I suggest you read about the Use–mention distinction. If a scholar is mentioning a term, attributed to somebody else, it does not mean that the scholar is using that term, and claim that it establishes notability for your topic. You are either completely misunderstanding what the sources are saying or deliberately misrepresenting them. If you try to write a small paragraph to accurately summarise the sources that are being presented here, you will see for yourself the fallacies of your own arguments. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:52, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Kautilya3: I think you completely misunderstand a number of things starting with Wikipedia policy and the intended scope of the article. But out of curiosity, what is your objection to Resisting Occupation in Kashmir? You don't like news articles, you don't like anthropology, shrug. You're very hard to please and you keep shifting the goal posts. I personally don't think it matters whether the name meets with your approval. I dislike quite a number of place names. But if a government refers to a place under its jurisdiction as x, and in this case it is established that it does, then that is an aspect of its identity, whether we approve of the name or not. The NPOV way to deal with this is to explain the controversy. It may be appropriate in a Wikipedia article to also mention a traditional name, or to create a separate article on the place's niche in the local cosmology as the ancestral homeland of a given community, for example, but that will have nothing to do with the microfinance programs of the local development bank, or the constitutional authority of the local legislative body. I think it is time for you to drop the stick and back away from the horse. You are imposing normative judgements that you perceive to be correct but are not, and would in any event not be a reason to AfD the article. You are supposed to search for sources before you nominate an article for deletion, and in this case they are thick on the ground Elinruby (talk) 15:49, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Elinruby, please note that an AfD discussion is about the validity/notability of a topic, not about the content of a page. Since the page on Brokpa people is present and will remain forever, the only reason to keep this page would involve some content that cannot possibly fit on the Brokpa people page.

  • I currently have no opinion on the matter -- notice that I have not voted -- but there seems to be some controversy on the subject. I just left a plethora of questions on the article talk page; you are of course free to chime in. As a rule of thumb, where there is a controversy, we explain both sides of it.

Comment: @Kautilya3: Comment: keep .

The dna result also says "The mtDNA profile shows a predominance of mtDNA HG A4 that must have arrived from outside the Indian subcontinent. " Please don't just keep a one side of a story . And maybe for having some percentage of a Indian subcontinent gene they have got mixed with the local population by living in Indian subcontinent for thousand of year . The dna results doesn't says that they have a dravadian gene , rather it says they have a some percentage of gene which is also found in South Indian and other part of Indian subcontinent like jammu etc. Background stories : 1:Last time kautilya3 have reverted my edit on Brokpa page because you were adding a fake cencus of Brokpa people which was somewhere around 50, thousand. But after I showed you many reference and these things was discuss with many wikepedian and finally you has to step back and change the population which was somewhere between 3000- 4000.The discussion could be easily check at the page of Brokpa page and Brokpa,Drokpa,Dard, and Shin 2: My personal opinion:

Please these need a special investigation , kautilya3 has always change the Brokpa page according to his opinion, though we have presented a reliable resources ,but he always step back.

3: Aryan valley is not a tourist made name ,it is just a opinion of few people and including kautilya3 , Aryan valley is using by the Indian administration like government officials in their website as well as by reliable newspaper by Indian Express.

commmet 2 ': @Kautilya3: Comment: keep the Aryan valley page .

All the sentence of Aryan valley page is cited with reliable book by popular writer and reliable news like Indian Express , It is unfair to delete a page of a region and adding it to a ethic group page , though the Brokpa ethnic group also is according to your opinion, you cherry pick whether which sentence should be there and which sentence should not be there and you add a reference according to you . Though , popular reference book and newspaper cited that Brokpa area believed to be a decendent of Alexander the great , but you always deleted that sentence and it's relaible reference .

Keep the Aryan valley page because it deserves.

I think kautilya3 has a personal enemy with the Aryan valley na Brokpa people, because he don't cited the popular theory of relaible source .he only cherry pick the sentence according to him. Please kautilya3 avoid having personal attack in Brokpa like saying a false statement like " Brokpa has a dravadian gene" which is not true , since Brokpa lived in these Indian subcontinent for hundred of year,they have a gene Which is found in South India and places like jammu . And according to the dna result : Brokpa also suggested a predominance gene which must have arrived from Indian subcontinent.

comment 3: Even though ,It is just a theory about their origin and migrated by popular anthropology, we are not here to varify whether they Brokpa are indeed the decendent of Alexander or not . We are here to discuss about a region which is Aryan valley. Now ,the every sentence of Aryan valley is cited with reliable sources and this wikepedia article could be verified easily . So , just look at the citation and close the topic. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minaro123 (talkcontribs)

Uh, no. The references do need work as I have been telling you at great length. Have you read the WP:RS page yet? It's very important that you do that. I think it *can* be sourced but you are not there yet. Elinruby (talk) 18:27, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Minaro123, I have warned you to desist from making personal attacks. I don't have any "enmity" to the Brokpa people. I am in fact the main author of the Brokpa page. I only object to the "Aryan" propaganda that you apparently subscribe to.
Contrary to your claims, the journal article cited above, summarily disproves the "Aryan" claims.

Should the Brokpa be an offshoot of early “Aryan”/IE speakers, the R1a1-M17 clade would be expected to occur at a high frequency among them. In fact, however, the Brokpa showed low frequencies of NRY-HG-R1a1(M17) (8%).

It also says:

... (various pieces of evidence), all suggest that Brokpa male ancestors might have originated from a deep Indian/south Indian ancestry.

So, please stop this propaganda. Wikipedia is not the place for it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:38, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kautilya3: Conclusion "The Y chromosomal studies suggest the Brokpa to be pre-Vedic settlers of the Himalayas, 9000 ybp, with an isolated evolution. The mtDNA profile shows a predominance of mtDNA HG A4 that must have arrived from outside the Indian subcontinent." Please don't show me a one section , why are you hasitate go show me the statement " shows has a gene of mtDNA HG A4 which must have reached out side of India " .

Please don't do cherry picking . And stop bullying . You were not the first Creator of Brokpa page and secondly , After I repeatedly deleting the fake cencus and adding a discussion in talk section of Brokpa , you had to listen me and you needed to step back and changed population to 3000- 4000.

Whenever I added any statement like " Brokpa believed to be a decendent of Alexander the great " cited by aljezerra , atlas of humanity , and other reliable book .,you always deleted it and even though everyone can edit the wikepedia with relaible source, but just because you has more number of edit doesn't mean that you are always true,on the other hand the Westerner wikepedian editor , and other countries wikepedian are very friendly and they never deleted such statement ,but you always do a bully to new editor even though they provided reliable source, Wikepedia is independent, autocratic editor are always harmful. And yes Brokpa page needs to add other useful resource from reliable source but I don't know why you never allow a editor like us to edit it , You always referred back , you have a benefit ,just because you have a more number of edit,no body questions you ,so you cherry pick and say according your mind. And yes I have read the reliable citeria of wikepedia and I respect it .

@TrangaBellam: The Aryan valley region is cited with reliable references like Indian express and also books , please don't delete it ,it is indeed a region

@Minaro123: On this page you need to put ~~~~ after your comments, to sign them. You really need to read WP:RS, if you wrote this after you starting posting journal articles on the talk page.
@Kautilya3: as admirable an ethnological survey as Brokpa may be, it does not give you ownership of all adjacent matters. Minaro123 has provided multiple instances of the district government using the term in its official capacity. I have found others which are secondary. I am explaining primary sources to him/her, but these links do seem to be evidence of an official renaming. Don't bite the newbie, please, or in this case explain to him/her what he/she is genetically, according to anthropologists. Isn't that a bit ethnocentric, to use the ethnological term of art?
Btw, he/she is not asserting the Alexander theory as truth; merely saying that others have done so. He/she hasn't sourced this statement very well on the page, but those sources do seem to exist, and since he/she seems to need another source for his/her further assertion on the talk page that the Alexander theory is untrue, perhaps that one study you keep posting will work for that.
@TrangaBellam: You seem to have mistakenly swept my examples of by-gosh secondary sources discussing the renaming into the collapsed section above titled "arguments to avoid", which I submit that they are not. Please remedy this. For convenience, I am reposting them here: [29][30] The matter is just not as simple as you seem to think, and Kautilya3 seems to be bringing a genetics argument to bear on an administrative matter.
There are nuances that are not in the Aryan valley article, sure, but this can be remedied, and the administrative aspects of the matter are notable whether or not Kautilya3 thinks they have a sound genetic basis. I do see the tourism campaigns, but my links above would seem to discuss them in a scholarly context, and nobody has demonstrated that this or any sort of "propaganda" is the reason for the name change. And supposing that they were, on Wikipedia we discuss propaganda as propaganda, and advertising as advertising. we don't ignore or dismiss them Elinruby (talk) 00:59, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Piotrus, Your source has "Aryan Valley" in quotation marks in its title. Why do you think that is? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:55, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Kautilya3,Quotation marks around single words can occasionally be used for emphasis, but only when quoting a word or term someone else used. The authors just want to give a special importance to Aryan valley in that sentence that is a reason he used it, you can use quotation marks for emphasis to separate a certain word from the rest of the sentence. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minaro123 (talkcontribs)
There is only one mention of "Aryan valley" in the article, which says:

Domestic and international visits to Brogpa villages are now packaged as explorations of the “Aryan Valley.”

RegentsPark Dear sir/Mam, The older name of the Aryan valley in 19 century is Dha hanu country / Dah hanu District / which included all the major villages of the present day Aryan valley that is Dha,Hanu,Darchik and Garkone , these title was used by a author at that time and It has quoted those history . And the same region was also called as Brogyul during 1950 to 2000, and recently , since nearly 2005 upto present, no one seems to use the Brogyul for these region and naturally the place name was known as Aryan valley by thousand of newspaper,journal ,book, government etc .so we should use Aryan valley .

Spinningspark, Please see this footnote [36] which is the only clear-cut description of this region there is. There is no "legal recocognition" and WP:GEOLAND doesn't apply.

The whole reason for this bringing this AfD is to save ourselves the need to keep battling this POV for eternity. That is not the purpose of AfD. The subject is notable and meets both WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND (being legally recognized is one option, not the sole requirement).

From the article: He named the region as Dha Hanu country, which was independent at the time. Is that, or is it not true? If it is, then it is notable because it was a country. There is a reason that WP:NCOUNTRY does not exist. We don't need it because all countries are notable. Your footnote is irrelevant, that is about the people, not the region so does not affect my keep rationale in the slightest. Nor does whether or not they really are Aryan.

Given your non-neutral language above I suggest you refrain from further comment about what OR "infests" the page, especially since you are again biting its newbie author on the talk because you don't think his source matches what you feel you measured on a map. I suggest a meditation on self-awareness, especially since you just injected your point of view into the lede. I have no particular issue with either of your sources, and have in fact already cited them here, but those points are not yet in the article body, which the lede is supposed to reflect. We all understand that you have strong feelings about this for some reason, but you are not editing in keeping with the values you profess on your talk page. Unclench your jaw from around that newbie. You are being told that your dislike of the article does not translate to a need for Wikipedia to delete it. That said, you don't seem to have actually read the article, either. Of course there is legal recognition. It's the name used by the local councils and territory governments. There are four or five references for this. There can be more if they are needed. I just haven't gotten to writing a section on infrastructure yet. So drop the stick and quit telling Minaro123 that all his sources have to contain the term "Aryan Valley", including those that deal with the previous century. Elinruby (talk) 21:28, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aryan Valley is in fact a made-up name, not organic, but it was made up by the government ten years ago, which uses it officially to designate a very specific area not just for purposes of tourism but also when describing electrification initiatives, agricultural extension programs and other administrative matters.

The people of the area describe themselves as Minaro. The name Brokpa was given to them by a different ethnic group that is more akin to the Tibetans, and "Brogpa" means "hill-dwellers". Along the Line of Control it applies to a number of unrelated communities that are respectively Buddhist, animist, and several types of Shia. There is another, different, group known as Brokpa in the next state over who herd yaks. The Minaro, a subset of those described as Brokpa in Ladakh, grow fruit and barley and are animists and nominally also Buddhist. This is a cultural designation, not a racial one, as Minaro123 (talk · contribs) feels that the Brogpa across the line of control are not Minaro, because they no longer practice the traditional ways. The Minaro who live in Aryan Valley do not consider themselves Aryan, by the way, although their oral history says that they have distant roots in Europe by way of Gitgit. They do not have a written history. The "Aryan" idea stems, as far as I can tell, from 19th century British amateur ethnologues. The Minaro seem to agree that they are Dards, but neither the Aryans nor the Dards used these names to describe themselves. I have not yet discovered the reasoning behind the Ladakh government choosing this particular name for the region, but it may (my speculation) have been an attempt to differentiate it from nearby areas of Kashmir being marketed as tourist destinations by the Pakistani government. It should be noted that the Brogpa are a minority culture in Ladakh. There is a controversy that can be explored about the name, and should, but the name does in fact designate a specific region within Ladakh, whose components Mindaro has enumerated at my request on the talk page. There is also a section on the talk page where I try to enunciate the distinctions between the various overlapping ethnic group names.

I thought we had established the government use of the name, and had moved on to looking for secondary sources that described the region. However, Minaro123 has provided several links to local English-language news, and work on the article can focus on this aspect of the name for a while, if this is still a concern. Hope that helps.

Remove I see some heavy bias because of KSI's involvement with Misfits promotion, as most of the information on this article rely on a single source and have not verified information with other reputable sports publications. However, I can't see why the creation of possibly a larger Misfits article wouldn't counter these issues. Sure, we would have to clean it of single-source edits but I think that would be the best compromise.
