Fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources, there does seem to be a short passage in The Royal Court Theatre Inside Out but that is insufficient by itself to support notability. Seems to have played only minor roles in notable productions thus failing NACTOR. W42 13:28, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Then again, there are actor pages that have been on here for donkeys (Frederick Hall, Roy Spencer, Tom Kelly, Laurence Harrington, John Hallet, Eileen Helsby, Timothy Walker, Leonard Trolley to name but a few) and have gotten by with naff all for sources.Silurian25 (talk) 11:23, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That source is a single mention of Bisi-Pedro in a list of names which does not constitute WP:SIGCOV.

  • But all except possibly one of those seven citations do not meet the requirement of being significant coverage in independent reliable secondary sources. They are either unreliable web sites or only give Bisi-Pedro a name-check without providing any information. The possible exception is ISBN 9781840027631, which I can only see a snippet of on Google Books, but that snippet, and the extra content that I can see in a Google Books search, looks like an interview or quotation from him rather than anything that writes about him. I can find no other sources to expand on these. I have looked for both "Ilario Bisi-Pedro" and "Ilario Pedro". Phil Bridger (talk) 20:46, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No in-depth secondary coverage. Cited sources are all non-independent, except a blog source with only a passing mention. Google News turns up a handful of passing mentions. The article is overly promotional, with "early player in the development of internet-supported research data management" being unsourced and a claim about Statistics Canada being "built on Nesstar tools" being unsupported by the cited source. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 04:39, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Firefangledfeathers, thanks for reviewing the article.
I just want to add a bit of context to this. Nesstar is/was (as the article states) an open-source tool that supported the growth of research data management in the social sciences, in particular social research. The platform is no longer supported or developed (it's end-of-life) and, as far as I can tell, Nesstar (the organization) has also been dissolved. So this is not intended to be a promotional piece, but rather to describe a (historic?) piece of software. I'm in no way related to this project (just a social science data librarian).
I recognize the lack of sources you mentioned, and perhaps I "un-drafted" the article too soon. Aliciabedul (talk) 16:36, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Aliciabedul, I've been careless a few times in the past few days about using "promo" as an assessment of the content when it could very reasonably be taken as a comment on the contributor's intentions. I definitely didn't mean to communicate the latter, and I'm sorry for not being clear about that. If you're amenable to draftification, and no one votes for deletion in the meantime, I'd be happy to withdraw and close this nomination and draftify the article. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 20:00, 9 October 2022 (UTC) striking now that another editor has !voted to delete 01:43, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's fair. I've saved a copy of the content and if I find I can have it meet the standard, I might re-create it later on.
No offense taken, I see how the language you cited could come across as not objective. Aliciabedul (talk) 03:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a non-notable near recreation of Four Presidents Corners, Indiana, which was deleted after this AfD. This incarnation is about the point itself, whereas the previous article was about a purported village about the point. There aren't any secondary sources that give significant coverage I could find, and--on WP:TWL--there were just a few mentions of the Four Pres. Corners Historical Society. I also analyzed some of the sources at Talk:Four Presidents Corners. It's just not important enough to have received anything resempling in-depth coverage (and is far from meeting the applicable SNG WP:GEOFEAT). —Danre98(talk^contribs) 18:18, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to MOR Entertainment#Final MOR stations. After the relist and source analysis the consensus is much clearer. Redirects have the numeric advantage and the policy-based advantage. Two of the keeps are policy-free. The delete helps push this towards redirect, an ATD, because it shows that editors do not think this article should exist in its current form on Wikipedia.

This page was repeatedly redirected and restored but it fails GNG. Refs provided are a trivial mention (ref 1, 3), or a routine announcement. My WP:BEFORE search found trivial mentions or the routine Yearbook but nothing that is SIGCOV, 1, 2, 3. Therefore, this fails WP:GNG.

The redirect voters and me (the deletion nominator) agree that it is not notable. However, I'm asking the reason that you oppose a redirect, which is an alternative to deletion.

Were would you want to redirect it then, Brother? I've already serched multiple articles compatible for this to be redirected, but I found nothing relevant to this subject. I've already researched before making my vote. And I'm sorry brother, my vote is final. nothing in WP:ATD's alternatives can be done here. Either way, I'm pretty sure that you don't need to worry.

A suspected exoplanet, which seems notable -- but in 2021 it was analyzed in greater depth and confirmed to have been a false positive. So this is not an article about a suspected exoplanet, but rather an article about a measurement artifact between the years of 2009 and 2021 that made it look like there might have been a planet. My recommendation -- since there is some amount of well-written content here -- is to merge it into a section at 61 Virginis and redirect the article. jp×g 20:46, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article was first created as a draft by a company employee who disregarded repeated requests to allow it to go through AfC, and moved it to mainspace. I do not see that WP:CORPDEPTH is met – sources are mainly focused on their product, an app connected to the ShakeAlert system, and there is no coverage of the company by independent sources. bonadea contributions talk 20:34, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear what "respect my decision" means here. I did respect your decision to move the article to mainspace. When an article is created in mainspace or moved there from draftspace, it is eligible for deletion if the community should consider it non-notable. (That applies to articles accepted by AfC reviewers as well, by the way.) This AfD discussion was opened because in my view the sources do not show how the company is notable; if by "my decision" you mean your own assessment about its notability, it makes little sense to say that anyone else should "respect [your] decision". Nobody gets to "decide" unilaterally that a topic is notable, and since a) notability criteria are not always straightforward to a very new editor and b) you were paid to create this, it would be a more constructive attitude for you to welcome an outside, impartial evaluation of your company's notability. --bonadea contributions talk 07:24, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See: C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted
:1.) If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD.
2.) If the article was recently created, please consider allowing the contributors more time to develop the article EricFishers11 (talk) 23:03, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@EricFishers11, you have misunderstood WP:ATD which is a guide of actions one should consider as an alternative to deletion under certain circumstances; none of which apply in this case. WP:ATD-T is applied only to "fixable problems", and as I stated in my above argument, these are not fixable problems. Likewise, WP:ATD-I does not apply here either because a topic without qualifying sources has no way to successfully incubate. Placing tags to alert editors to the problem of primary sources and non-independent sources is not going to solve the fundamental underlying problem which is that independent secondary sources just simply do not exist. Likewise, a topic without secondary independent coverage is not able to incubate in draft space. Deletion is really the only policy based choice in this case.4meter4 (talk) 23:22, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
According to the support resources, including the IRC chat this article had between 3-5 good secondary articles and could be improved. This is not a flagrant disregard of the guidelines and rules. I still maintain this should be published. EricFishers11 (talk) 23:45, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. Please see the source analysis below which highlights issues with every single source per our policies at WP:ORG. None of the secondary sources are interview free; which we require per our written policy at WP:MULTSOURCES (see SECONDARY section) where "interviews by executives" are explicitly labeled as PRIMARY sources even if they are in a publication like the Los Angeles Times or a a respected podcast. The problem with the secondary sources here is they all contain interviews with EWL's founder Josh Bashioum, which immediately disqualifies them as sources for proving notability per our written policy. With zero secondary sources independent from the subject, there are no good sources.4meter4 (talk) 23:55, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Irregardless it still qualifies under "ongoing media coverage focusing on a product or organization" as the coverage documents the progress of the implementation of ShakeAlert and the companies role from 2014 to present. EricFishers11 (talk) 00:00, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Here I also have to disagree. None of the sources are about Early Warning Labs; and only provide indirect coverage of the company. The ongoing media coverage is not about Early Warning Labs at all but about the ShakeAlert warning system of which EWL is only one small component, with some attention given to the ShakeAlert app created by EWL (but not only their app; as other apps have been made by other companies). We have no sources with in-depth coverage of the company itself. In fact EWL is only mentioned in passing in most of the sources; even in the sources about their app. As I stated above, articles about the product made by a company do not confer notability onto the company itself. We need coverage directly and in detail about EWL, not the ShakeAlert App the company created per WP:ORGSIG. The notability of a product doesn't extend to the company that makes it per Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#Notability fallacies#Notability is inherited.4meter4 (talk) 00:16, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's non sequitur, EWL is regularly mentioned in nearly every article as the facilitator of the technology. Also, a "quote" is not considered an interview. Out of curiosity, what content would you remove to create a "stub" for publishing? EricFishers11 (talk) 00:29, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Quoted texts are taken from interviews. You are not going to find any support here for that kind of argument. I am an AFD patroller who has worked regularly at AFD for years. This is the way WP:CORPDEPTH is routinely applied at AFD. What we really need here are sources about Early Warning Labs as a company which provide significant coverage. Sources with an independent analysis of the company or a critique of the company or even a history of the company (without quoted text from an executive) would be particularly useful in demonstrating notability. On a side note, the sources here would potentially work better towards creating an article on the app itself (as these sources are directly about the app); although some of the independence issues are still a problem.4meter4 (talk) 00:39, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That’s not a bad idea to create an article for the app. Could this be resolved publishing EWL as a Stub and point to the app page? EricFishers11 (talk) 00:50, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid not. There's not enough evidence of independent secondary sources to even allow for a stub. We have have very strict policies regarding our inclusion criteria for organizations. However, you could create an article on the app in draft space and potentially have it approved through WP:AFC. Once approved it would be moved to mainspace. Once that happens you could create a WP:REDIRECT at Early Warning Labs to the article on the app. That probably would be your best way forward based on the current sources available. It's possible an article on the app would pass WP:PRODUCT or WP:GNG. Products have less hoops to jump though than companies when it comes to notability. 4meter4 (talk) 00:59, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lamona I don't think that is the best article to contain that information which is about earthquake warning systems generally; not the specific one used by this app. We have an article on the specific earthquake warning system that the app uses where it is already mentioned at ShakeAlert#Alert distribution#Cell phone alert.4meter4 (talk) 03:42, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@4meter4 MyShake is talked about in both, so in effect the information is already in both but it isn't the main topic in either. I think any important information will need to be added to both as long as the software is described in both. It's not ideal, and presumably one article could simply point to the other, but that will take more thought. I'd say: if the editor wishes to add information from this article it should be added to both, for now. Lamona (talk) 14:21, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
MyShake is a completely different app with zero connection to EWL which was developed by the University of California, Berkley. It is integrated into multiple earthquake systems globally (it can be used in Japan for example). This is not true of EWL's app which is only part of the ShakeAlert system and can only be used on the West Coast of the United States. There is no reason to cover EWL's app in a section on MyShake as they are two different things.4meter4 (talk) 17:19, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with @4meter4 - MyShake qualifies under both ShakeAlert#Alert distribution#Cell phone alert and Earthquake warning system#Deployment#Global systems there may be a fit somewhere else in Earthquake warning system but I dont see a good fit as written.

Whether a source is online or not has no connection to whether it is primary or secondary.

The Discovery Channel coverage (viewable here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuWPI-A9COQ) is about the ShakeAlert system as a whole, and the coverage of Early Warning Labs in the documentary is not about the company itself but their app through an interview with EWL's director. It's not independent as an interview. And it's not significant coverage of the company itself. I have added both of these sources to the source analysis table. 4meter4 (talk) 14:49, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@4meter4 You are incorrect - there is absolutely NO mention of the app QuakeAlert - which is actually just one of the offerings of the company. This documentary is showing their hardware system automate a fire station, nowhere does it mention "QuakeAlert" the app. Perhaps you are confused what the company actually does. EricFishers11 (talk) 16:50, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless, a demonstration of another product of the company in the context of an interview is still not independent; nor is it about the company but another product of the company. So the problem is still the same.4meter4 (talk) 18:35, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lets move this back to drafts then. Ill focus on Draft:QuakeAlertUSA as suggested here. @4meter4 Which of the articles listed above would support that? EricFishers11 (talk) 01:43, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately neither of us has the authority to unilaterally make that decision now that so many other editors have participated here. The AFD will need to be evaluated and closed by a non-participating neutral administrator. It’s up to that admin whether this can be moved back to draft and retooled towards the app. If and when that happens, I can examine the sources again and make suggestions. I am not entirely confident that it would pass GNG even when retooled because of the interview component of many of the sources. It’s going to be a borderline call, and I can’t say for sure how other editors will respond for sure. I really do think you should go through the WP:AFC approval process because that is going to ultimately help you to develop a passable article.4meter4 (talk) 02:06, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think its a bit premature to make this comment. Some substantial copy editing has occurred by one editor, but only one additional source has been added, which like the other references, does not provide in-depth coverage of Early Warning Labs as a company and consists of an interview with an employee of USGS about a test run of ShakeAlert. USGS has a close partnership with EWL; and therefore this source lacks independence from the company. I have added the source to the table. 4meter4 (talk) 23:13, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It appears to have been revised quite a bit more. EricFishers11 (talk) 00:36, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I see that. More sources with the same overall problems; this is WP:REFBOMBING. There is nothing here which has in-depth coverage of the company as an institution. Everything relates to products of the company or projects related to ShakeAlert with which they are involved. Further, many of these sources are more interviews with EWL's founder which lack independence.

There are two reasons for deleting this article, either of which would be sufficient on its own.

First, it's not notable. The only real source (the others are just for examples of short jokes) is a PhD dissertation, which is not a reliable source. I was unable to find any other source on the web. Additionally, that mention of the shortest joke is just one paragraph in a 250-page work, so it's questionable whether this would constitute significant coverage even if it were a reliable source.

Second, the article as written is original research. The source is about Russian "Anekdoty", but the article generalizes this to short jokes from all countries. Dan Bloch (talk) 18:14, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This book is not notable. Despite quite strenuous efforts, this article has minimal, indeed insufficient sourcing. The two sources given are both brief mentions in articles about broader topics within the (large) field of Tolkien scholarship. The fact is that in over 40 years, hardly any Tolkien scholars or critics have thought it necessary to mention this book; and that is despite the fact that its subject, Jungian archetypes in Tolkien's work, have been the subject of numerous works of scholarship. Pia Skogemann, in her book on the subject, does briefly mention O'Neill, to say that his interpretation of the Ring as wholeness is wrong (it's the opposite, Middle-earth is healed when it's destroyed; and Frodo isn't healed at all). O'Neill's book is a minor work, written with insufficient understanding of psychology, and scholarship has judged it not worth bothering with. We should do the same. But I'd not oppose merging it, for example to the article on its author, Timothy O'Neill. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:24, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Tolkien scholar Thomas Honegger called it "the unsurpassed standard work on the subject" (2019)
  • "a compelling and influential Jungian reading" (2013) by Christopher Vaccaro, editor of The Body in Tolkien's Legendarium
The opinion of the nominator this is a "minor" work is their own. It is contradicted by reliable sources, which call it both "influential" (2013) and the "standard work" (2019) on Tolkien Jungian analysis. Every other book about Jungian analysis of Tolkien references this book, "scholarship has judged it not worth bothering with" is completely false. The nominator wrote the article for Timothy O'Neill (camoufleur) the author of this book. As you can see here almost no mention of the book was made in the bio. When I attempted to correct this by adding importance of the book in the lead, the nominator deleted it. The one who has judged it "not worth bothering with" is the nominator. -- GreenC 17:57, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm afraid not; "notable" and "influential" can be judged only by what other scholars do. The large number of Tolkien scholars in the field has deemed this book unworthy. On the two sorry mentions, Vaccaro has made a rapid passing comment, and Honegger (whose skill is rather in translation and language, not psychology) has similarly said something brief and flattering-sounding before moving swiftly on. The most charitable interpretation of these two brief insubstantial mentions is that the scholars saw that the book existed and wanted to fill a sentence with something that sounded reasonable; if they had actually found it useful, they would presumably have made use of it, and we'd have pages of material to work with rather than these two brief quotations. O'Neill's background is in military camouflage, which does involve a branch of psychology, visual deception, in which he's an expert. That doesn't mean he's an expert in Jungian archetypes. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:03, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody has "judged this book unworthy" but you it appears. -- GreenC 18:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
GreenC That is a personal attack. Please retract it immediately. It's also untrue in another way, as the discussion of Skogemann above demonstrates. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:29, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Skoegeman just says she doesn't agree with some aspect of it, has nothing to do with the entire book being "unworthy" which is pretty strong language. Your the one making the assertion you should either back it up with sources or retract it. It's not my fault you are saying things unsupportable and strongly opinionated. -- GreenC 18:43, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That is a second personal attack, and again it is a misrepresentation. I did not say that Skogemann called the entire book unworthy; she just shows that the only thing she quotes from the entire book, which she must have read given her comment, was incorrect. As for sources, I've dealt with those you propose below: they don't establish notability. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:54, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Examples of how influential the book is

-- GreenC 18:21, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Let's analyse those "influential" mentions then:
1 Bloom: including an excerpt is not critical comment or analysis, it's just a primary (O'Neill) fragment; perhaps Bloom had a book to fill and was happy to use some pages to occupy the space. It doesn't prove anything.
2 Annotated bibliography: isn't detailed critical analysis, doesn't establish notability.
3 Green - this is a brief paragraph (11 short lines) which says it's impossible for a short book adequately to apply Jung's complex theories to Tolkien's lengthy writings. Green comments that the best O'Neill can do is to assert that Beorn (the skin-changing bear-man) is (he quotes O'Neill) '"in the general category of Self symbols because of his symbolic hermaphrodism"'. This doesn't establish notability, though it sounds as if Green thinks O'Neill is way out of his depth.
4 O'Neill - this is a brief (primary) account by O'Neill himself, it obviously isn't independent and doesn't contribute to notability.
5 Ulanov - just over 1 page of commentary, probably counts for notability, though it says little beyond that Ulanov found it interesting.
6 Listed in Annotated Hobbit's booklist: isn't critical comment or analysis, is just a list entry, doesn't establish notability.
If anyone seriously thinks these sad entries establish notability, all I can say is, the bar for notability must be pretty low then. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:52, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I said "how influential the book is". Influential is important because it is "a compelling and influential Jungian reading". You incorrectly asserted "unworthy", you said hardly anyone "mentions the book", that is clearly incorrect. -- GreenC 19:19, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are hardly any substantial mentions: there is perhaps one such so far, Ulanov. Chiswick Chap (talk)#
I don't see how the analysis can be so described: it's completely transparent and everybody can check it against the sources. I've never heard of a presumption in favour of keeping, that seems completely broken as a process. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:31, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe this man meets our notability guidelines. He appears to have been a prolific employee of the National Park Service, but I'm not sure he rises the level called for by WP:ARCHITECT #1. The article is clearly refbombed. My BEFORE did not find any SIGCOV beyond his obituary in either newspaper or scholarly sources.

Similar case to Jodi McLeary, which is heading for a deletion. None of the current sources used satisfy WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC as they are not independent and therefore do not confer notability. SPORTBASIC specifically states that team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject so the coverage from the official websites and social media pages for Glasgow City, Rangers and Motherwell must be ignored. My search of independent sources found nothing better than a squad list mention in The Scotsman and a passing mention in a match report in Daily Record. Likely WP:TOOSOON along with McLeary.

I have already stated to you the following on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/903 (PTV Bus). A bus timetable is a reliable and acceptable source for determing what stops the bus route serves, to back it up for there were two sources for this a primary source (PTV) and a secondary Source (Moovit) NotOrrio. I know one of the arguments to avoid using in deletion is to not mention other articles but I want to show that stop information used as a source for where the bus serves is the norm for wikipeida bus route pages for example https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=London_Buses_route_1&direction=next&oldid=983282445 uses the source https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/1 for the section current route.

NotOrrio (talk) 10:09, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, a bus timetable is perfectly acceptable to use as a source for determing what stops a bus route has however they aren't reliable or acceptable sources to establish the bus routes notability. In respect to the London bus route you have referred to, it is notable because it demonstrates there is significant coverage, not mentions in passing, in multiple independent secondary sources.

There's no editorial or fact checking policy listed on the site, so I can't assess if it meets RS criteria. No As with sources 2, 3, and 4, this is an article on the product, not the company. As with source 2, this begins with a guide on how to use the site. Towards the end of the article there is sufficient content about the experience of using the site that it could potentially demonstrate SIGCOV for the product. No

Software Project/Company that appears to have shutdown around 2016, Website offline since 2018. Github site not updated since 2017. No sign of widespread use. - SimonLyall (talk) 00:57, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

StormMQ still exists but not in its original form. The only historic reason to retain a mention is that it was a major contributor to the AMQP 1.0 and MQTT ISO standards.

Lawyer BLP doesn't seem to meet NBIO- subject lacks in-depth coverage, since most independent sources are just WP:PASSING mentions. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:05, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
