Delete it’s a machine translation of ….things. What things I’ve no idea but it’s not coherent or useful, and does not really have a topic. Mccapra (talk) 01:05, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're mistaken here. The article's topic is pretty clear from the text, but in case this helps, the article was formerly titled "Bulgarians during the heyday and expansion of the Ottoman Empire". It's a fairly straightforward subtopic of Ottoman Bulgaria, and so it's clearly notable. However, it does have issues with the referencing: the main source is the late 90's Bulgarian equivalent of an A-levels history textbook. The somewhat flowery language typical of these texts has made its way into the first section of the article, which is probably the reason why you thought it was machine translated. – Uanfala (talk) 21:49, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete huge swathes of uncited OR/essay, all very hard to verify. Bulgarian Ottoman history is already clearly and thoroughly treated through a number of articles and while someone may one day write a specific article about Bulgaria under the Ottomans, for now I think the Bulgarian Lands can be let go. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:37, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete kind of vague, considerable amount of unsourced content, and a total of only two sources. Ottoman Bulgaria is not that long, so the sourced material here can be integrated to that article. Aintabli (talk) 02:34, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Before calling for friction, it is good to be at least a little familiar with the subject.
Ottoman Bulgaria is not the same, it is even radically different, for example, in the 16th century compared to the 19th century. In the 16th century, Bulgarians felt comfortable in the empire and even considered it their own. In the 19th century it was the exact opposite. That's why this topic has a separate article. --Станислав Минков (talk) 09:01, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. While one keep argument relies on "helpful", which is, ironically, not a particularly helpful argument, the others argue that this is a notable and appropriate subject for a list with plenty of reference material available. The "delete" arguments do not generally dispute that reference material is available, but rather argue that this is an indiscriminate, inappropriate subject for a list. Both of these arguments are reasonable, so the "delete" side achieved consensus via substantially stronger support. SeraphimbladeTalk to me11:14, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
List of video game soundtracks on music streaming platforms[edit]
Fails WP:LISTN. Nearly all major game released these days will have their soundtracks uploaded to some music-streaming platforms. The list also relies excessively on primary sources (e.g. Twitter), and most of the sources in the articles are WP:ROTM announcements that provide no meaningful commentary as to why its release on a streaming platform is important. A brief paragraph in the video game music article would probably be sufficient to cover this topic, and I don't see the necessity of having a list. OceanHok (talk) 11:34, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
2 of them are ROTM announcements. They tell me several Capcom games and FF games are coming to Spotify, but none of them is WP:SIGCOV. I do not think GameSpot really intend to discuss streaming in its listicle as well. It simply tells you where you can stream (and therefore access) "the best video game soundtracks". GameSpot and IGN sometimes provided links to retailers, telling readers where you can buy or pre-order certain games. That doesn't mean we should create an article named "List of video game you can buy through Amazon".
If the main point of the article is to tell readers video game soundtracks on streaming platforms are rare, then the list does not show that. It appears to be a very common occurence. If the main point of the article is to tell readers that every single game these days has their soundtracks released through streaming platforms, then there is no necessity for such a list. If the SIGCOV part of the article is about Japanese developers being unwilling to release soundtracks through streaming platforms, then a list listing nearly all western games to have ever existed since 2010 is also not appropriate. It is a simple phenomenon bloated into a gigantic list. I still don't see the necessity of having this massive dynamic list that is always going to be incomplete as well. (Despite the effort of maintaining such a list, there are a lot of missing entires (e.g. FIFA17 to FIFA 19, a bunch of Call of Duty, Far Cry 4 not being listed despite the inclusion of both FC3 and FC5). This just highlights how unimportant and trivial the whole thing is. If a soundtrack's release through streaming platforms is so important, then there should be significant coverage from our RS each time it happens.) OceanHok (talk) 14:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, those articles are standard WP:MILL announcements. They do not indicate the idea of releasing on a streaming service is particularly noteworthy, just alerting people that soundtracks are on streaming. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:59, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per WP:OLIST as a list that is too time consuming to keep updated and serves no encyclopedic purpose besides advertising. The ephemeral nature of streaming music means the list needs an outsized amount of effort and is constantly changing. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:58, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Sergecross comment because this article for the longest time is really helpful because not every game has a soundtrack on streaming services, and it goes to show how much there was a demand for VGM on streaming services for a long time. Its the same thing with vinyl as well. NakhlaMan (talk) 13:19, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SALAT. This is one of those lists that could've been about a narrowly defined topic early in the history of streaming, but since streaming is just the default way of releasing any music these days, it's become more or less meaningless. Like a list of music released on CD in the 90s or a list of movies released in theaters (but even more extreme than the latter). There is sourcing that would fall into two categories: sources from years ago when streaming wasn't the default, and the equivalent of "what's on Netflix this month" roundups. Years ago, when studios put an entire TV show's catalog on Hulu, it was novel. Now, a "list of TV shows on streaming platforms" would be a similar SALAT problem. In other words, if a video game soundtrack is released, it's released on a music streaming platform. We can't keep a list of them all. Beyond that, this isn't actually a list of soundtracks; it's a list of video games. That makes it a step more problematic per WP:CSC compared to a list TV shows available to stream because in nearly all cases we don't actually have an article on the subjects themselves. Not sure what I think of the vinyl article, but at least that's a much smaller group because releasing a soundtrack on vinyl is relatively unusual. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 14:42, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This content would be better served in an encyclopedic format. I think that Sergecross73 has done a terrific job of showcasing that it's notable enough that it receives coverage, but Wikipedia is not and cannot be an indiscriminate collection of information, and at this point, saying what's on Spotify would basically be the same as saying "all video game music except for Nintendo" nowadays. The vinyl examples don't fly here, because that is a clearly definable and limited category, where this would be essentially every music made in modern gaming. The content and the sources would be better served by discussing it in an encyclopedic format at video game music. Nomader (talk) 01:30, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or Weak Delete: Both List of game soundtracks released on X articles strangely use the medium as a differentiator. These should be List of game soundtracks released standalone. We could split this into digital and physical lists but in my opinion a merged list would be most useful. (Side note, why do publishers use vinyl records instead of normal CDs?) IgelRM (talk) 09:15, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Rhododendrites. Also, the lead suggests a narrower scope than the list title does; "on music streaming platforms," interpreted plainly, means virtually any soundtrack in existence that someone put on YouTube. Gnomingstuff (talk) 18:39, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was meant to document official soundtrack releases. Vast majority of YouTube uploads are unofficial fan uploads. Much like List of PlayStation Portable games doesn't include homebrew games or the hundreds of Sega Genesis games fans have made unofficially available to play on it from downloading emulators and roms off the internet. This distinction is generally assumed in the video game content Wikipedia, though the distinction could easily be pointed out should this article avoid deletion. Sergecross73msg me19:29, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I feel that the sourcing is adequate, and there's no real risk of the list ballooning out of control. If it comes to that, forking the list into multiple lists (perhaps by year if it calls for it) would be fine. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 07:04, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The deletion nomination opens with "Nearly all major game released these days will have their soundtracks uploaded to some music-streaming platforms" which still isn't the case for most Japanese games. Besides, the article is good to let users know of older games who finally may have their soundtracks available worldwide, for the first time, like several Castlevania series games. All the article needs is less primary sources for references but otherwise I don't see a net positive in deleting it. Jotamide (talk) 19:25, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The sourcing is fine, great even, but sourcing is not the problem. I don't even think third-party coverage of the concept is a problem (that would justify. The problem is that game soundtracks on music streaming platforms is simply not a defining characteristic (SALAT, per Rhododendrites). Every major release in the past few years has their soundtrack on streaming and more and more back catalogs from older games are getting added every day, which also runs into the issue of WP:NOTDATABASE (cf. ZXC's rationale that this list is functionally an advertisement for a feature of Spotify). I am not convinced that the comparison to the list of soundtracks on vinyl is anything more than WP:OTHERSTUFF. The other major 'keep' argument is that it's WP:USEFUL. I don't find either of these to be convincing. Axem Titanium (talk) 17:23, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I hate to see something deleted when all of the keeps, and a number of the deletes, have noted that the sourcing is good. Whether it's closed as delete or "no consensus", I'll try to rework it into something more palatable. There's something here, it just needs some work.

No evidence found of notability, source in article isn't independent. Only source in Google News is Varsity, which is a University newspaper. This year's activities don't seem to receive any attention from WP:RS outside the university.

Some of them might be notable, but this one isn't. And if you bundle too many together, it will always end up as a procedural keep per WP:TRAINWRECK.

Wikipedia has established criteria for notability for biographical articles. According to these criteria, a person is generally considered notable if they have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
Based on the information provided in the article, it is difficult to determine if Uzair Aziz meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. More information about his work, such as his notable projects, exhibitions, or awards, would be necessary to evaluate his notability. Infinity Knight (talk) 20:20, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery: It sounds like the article needs maintenance, which generally isn't a good reason for deletion. What outdated text in the article were you referring to, exactly? Perhaps it can be updated. — The Transhumanist09:53, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It certainly does. In this case, it is an entire class of articles, supporting the position that this type of article is an allowed and accepted part of Wikipedia. Arguing to delete this comparison article because it is a comparison article is like nominating a list for deletion because it is a list, or nominating an article for deletion because it is an article.

Keep - Since when does name calling and flinging unrelated shortcuts constitute a deletion nomination? Calling it cruft is rhetoric. See WP:ITSCRUFT, which is a variation of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Obviously, the nominator sees no value in the article, but, just because he may never have a need to refer to the information in this meticulously crafted table doesn't mean that others won't. This is an informative list the context of which is very clearly stated in the page's title. In fact, it is being used—in a class to teach students (see the article's talk page)—this is exactly what Wikipedia is supposed to be: a learning resource. The shortcuts in the nomination are nothing more than a WP:VAGUEWAVE: a careful read of WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTGUIDE reveals that this list does not violate those policies, which makes one wonder why they were cited in the first place.

Delete per nom. A Google search turned up a couple of mentions of the subject along with other voice actresses. No notability has been shown using reliable sources. Fails WP:GNG and does not meet WP:BASIC. AuthorAuthor (talk) 01:19, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per nom. If you check the link above to ja.wp, it shows no references and is substituting their oown opinion for notability criteria using WP:SOURCESMAYEXIST arguments and the nonsense other Wikipedia language claim ("...any article that has 4 other pages in other languages..."). IS RS with SIGCOV alone show notability: Wikipedia in any language is not a reliable source for content or notability; if IS RS with SIGCOV sources are found inother Wikipedias they can be obviously used, but the articles themselves are in no way an indication of notability. The above fails to mention there are no sources and moves on to mistake popularity or notarity for notability ("she's notable as she has done tv shows, photo books, music, movies and so forth"). Popularity does not equal notability per WP:BIO.
An actual BEFORE in en and ja showed only promo material, database style listings, nothing from IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. BLPs need clearly IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability to avoid abuse per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:RS). // Timothy :: talk01:28, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:COATRACK and WP:SOAPBOX, this is not an appropriate WP:NPOV article. While Veracity of statements by Donald Trump provides substantial commentary and analysis of his outright fabrication and extensive lies, this is merely a list of times Joe Biden has made misstatements in speeches, with such mundane points as billionaires paying 3% in taxes rather than 8% or that prescription drug caps he passed had taken effect already rather than in two years. Is today's addition that he accidentally called a gun by the wrong name really such a purposeful blunder? There's a wide difference between a running list of fact-checks (in the latter case, the editor simply sourcing to a transcript and a separate news article rather than something calling it a gaffe) and actual encyclopedic discussion of a pattern of lying, so I don't believe this warrants a stand-alone article or list. Reywas92Talk17:16, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Plenty of coverage of these mistakes. Whether he did it on purpose or not is irrelevant. When he was younger he was caught lying as well. The article mentions things he lied about back in the 1970s. Click the reference search at the top of the AFD and check for "Joe Biden Gaffes" and you get ample results.

Delete The top sources I see are Fox News (do I really need to explain why that’s a bad source) Bustle (not a reliable source, let alone a reliable political one) and a satirical book about his flubs. They’re famous enough in popular political culture to deserve maybe a section on his article or something similar but any kind of “list of failures of X” is inherently biased and BLP violating. The Trump article is about an overall subject (Trump’s habitual extreme dishonesty) where as this is a WP:SYNTH collection of inaccurate, not-completely-honest, or outright false statements— which all politicians make. Plus the title is terrible, insulting and sounds like something off of Conservapedia. Dronebogus (talk) 19:44, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think that whether he's a liberal or a conservative (i.e. whether an article criticizing him "sounds like something off of" Conservapedia or Liberapedia, or for that matter Anarchopedia or Commupedia or Monarchopedia) has bearing on whether this article meets WP:GNG. jp×g01:41, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment On the fence about this one, we have similar lists for Donald Trump, this feels like an attack article. To keep it neutral, I'd remove the less trustworthy sources (Newsweek sure isn't).

Delete - Misleading WP:COATRACK. "Gaffe" != "false or misleading claims", but from the first version of this article, the latter has been the framing. The article appears to be an attempt at WP:FALSEBALANCE, compiling a list of times Biden said something untrue or misleading. The only reason we have a stand-alone article on the veracity of statements by Donald Trump is because there is a massive amount of literature about the phenomenon of Trump lying, and not just criticizing specific instances (which we could compile for every politician). The title of the article, if it weren't for the actual content of the article, might be an appropriate and notable subject, but we already have two articles which cover "Biden gaffes" which could be expanded: Public image of Joe Biden and Bidenisms. (IMO the best option for the Bidenisms article, as I said in the Trumpisms AfD recently, would be to transform it into something like "Speaking style of Joe Biden", but that's a separate question.) — Rhododendritestalk \\ 15:48, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or a selective merge to Public image of Joe Biden. The current article isn't a list of gaffes, it is a list of news articles that say Biden said something false -- and it actively avoids any evidence that the specific situations listed are important or significant in any way. I would imagine that the Neil Kinnock plagiarism incident would be in a better article on this topic. It might be possible to rescue the article, but the multiple problems in the current version are too severe to keep this as-is. Walt Yoder (talk) 17:02, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or selective merge into Bidenisms, using Bushism as a model for improving that article. Selective because an exhaustive list of every time a public speaker "gaffed" is not at all appropriate. Roll 3d6 (talk) 01:29, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article is at a bewildering title, and frankly, it is bad. There is a bizarre juxtaposition between "saying something awkward" and "lying": even among the lies, it doesn't really distinguish between minor quibbles ("CNN thought the quote was 'misleading'") and rather flagrant lies ("Biden claimed he was a coal miner"). That said, the purpose of AfD is to determine if a topic is notable, not whether an article is crap. I feel like, given that there are fifty-nine references currently in the article, it is probably safe to say that the subject of this particular president saying stuff that isn't true is fairly notable, at least compared to our actual standards and policies on notability. jp×g01:37, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
AfD is indeed to decide whether the subject is notable, but we have a title about one subject and an article about another. Which one is your keep !vote for? If it's gaffes, how does that reconcile with the content? If it's lies, which are the best articles that treat the lies as a group such that we pass WP:NLIST and WP:NOPAGE, of the sort that justify the notability of e.g. the veracity of statements by Donald Trump article? — Rhododendritestalk \\ 02:03, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I did not nominate this on notability concerns; yes conceptually it would pass GNG that there is coverage of gaffes and misstatements, but that does not mean that such a topic is otherwise appropriate for an article. AFD is not just for determining notability, and this page is not in compliance with other policies; likewise per WP:NOPAGE, others have identified other pages that could cover these general concepts with a degree of notability.

Unsourced article about a television series not shown to pass WP:TVSHOW criteria. As always, television shows are not "inherently" notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia just because they exist(ed) -- the notability test is the reception of a WP:GNG-worthy volume and depth of third-party reliable source coverage and analysis in third-party sources independent of themselves. But even on a ProQuest search for at-the-time coverage, all I can find is a couple of very short blurbs confirming that this existed, not adding up to anything like enough coverage to get this over WP:GNG. (For added bonus, this was a conflict of interest violation all along, per the creator's username.) Bearcat (talk) 17:05, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Sounds like Bearcat at last found some sort of sourcing, I can't get any hits on this "thing". Some literary festivals, nothing for a TV program. Oaktree b (talk) 20:03, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I got a lot of festivals too. I should clarify that I added "Bravo" to the search string to cut the noise and boost the signal, which got me the couple of blurbs. Bearcat (talk) 19:04, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The program sounds interesting, but the dearth of reliable coverage shows a lack of notability beyond, perhaps, a local level, or, at most, a regional one. TH1980 (talk) 00:01, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I moved this to draft, but was reverted, and we are apparently supposed to then take it to AfD instead of draftifying again (even though AfD is not cleanup). Anyway, I moved it to draft as it is a rather hagiographic piece about a person where the sources show a different picture (though it is not always easy to tell which Ugandan sources are reliable and which may be a government mouth piece, as Uganda isn't the most democratic and free society). Things like this or this or this. It should be moved to draft to first make this a WP:NPOV BLP instead of this one-sided version, and only then be allowed in the mainspace. Fram (talk) 15:43, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Appears promo, I can't find sourcing for this person. I'm not aware of which Ugandan news outlets are RS to be honest. Oaktree b (talk) 16:55, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I see the problems and I contacted the person to prove his recent status. I may be over trusted that guy, who sent me enough proof for his activity. I think the article should be reviewed by some Ugandan admin. He claims he was extorted by some people. I will accept any decision but let us wait for some neutral view in that complicated country. Drjmarkov (talk) 16:47, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest to seek point of view of person from Uganda, who can tell are these sources reliable, because I wanted to write a biography of a good man. Drjmarkov (talk) 17:06, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you say the information from Ugandan sources is not enough. Uganda is an English speaking country and the English Wikipedia serves also for it and not all the stuff, happening in Uganda is expected to be published in American and European sources. Drjmarkov (talk) 05:37, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with @Drjmarkov: on move back to mainspace so this can be deleted; they have found all the sources possible to the article, and no IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth has been added. Since a complete BEFORE by the author showed nothing that meets SIGCOV, nothing else is likely to be found showing N.
The authors comments above I contacted the person to prove his recent status and because I wanted to write a biography of a good man. show there is contact being the article subject and author, and the POV bias of the author.
BLPs are not a "wait and see if sources appear" circumstance. BLPs need clearly IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability to avoid abuse per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). // Timothy :: talk06:23, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see a problem about contact with a living person. And also I can't see bias, when there are sources. And they do not appear, they just are and they aren't new. I don't think there are many philanthropists in Uganda and helping the poor Ugandan people is always a good cause. I get the feeling that there is a tendency to delete every new article about living person, especially if they are young and they aren't athletes. In that situation I can't see how an article about a politician can stay if there is always controversy around their name. I can't see why you don't leave the article to be reviewed by someone from Uganda or Eastern Africa at least and not to say that African people are insignificant because only African media write about them.

If you are going to edit Wikipedia, especially creating articles, you need at a minimum to undestand the above. It will take time to learn them, but your time will either be spent productively learning about the above, or wasted here at AfD. // Timothy :: talk08:27, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As you have seen, or maybe didn't. I have created multiple articles, but not very soon. I know the Wikipedia policies. And that is why I ask you - why a mediocre soccer player can have an article and a person, who helps poor people cannot. Is the mediocre soccer player significant enough if only the fans of his team might know about him or not. And if a person, who have attracted attention of different Ugandan media and is obviously well-known in Uganda, is not significant enough and enough for who? I don't have any conflict of interest, since I live in Bulgaria and I have never met this man personally. Yes, there are accusations against him and they are mentioned in the article. After there are articles for convicted murderers in Wikipedia, then some unproven accusations of sexual harassment won't be a problem. I see bias here against people from "insignificant" countries like Uganda and like my own country Bulgaria. You say the sources are unreliable, but which Ugandan sources are reliable, do you know them. And as the things are going I might continue to abstain from creating articles after not a single African editor did not said their opinion. I see here people only from USA and Canada. The policy to delete an article, without collecting opinions from people, who are better informed in the matter is the thing that will discourage to write articles. I have created multiple articles about the administrative division of Afghanistan and even citing a lot of sources I had these discussions. Now these articles evolved, after I created them, but I was one of the first writing about Afghanistan. Drjmarkov (talk) 09:22, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I could have just ignored your reply, but I took the time and offered a newish and infrequent editor (16 years 4 months old, but with only 2,213 edits) some good advice; now it’s your choice what you do with it and you can experience the results accordingly.
I've tried to be polite, but here I will be direct: You have been on Wikipedia long enough to know when active experienced editors give you advice about an article, you should probably listen to it. Fram is a very experienced editor, and you can judge me for yourself. But I am telling your directly: Your comments above show that you do not understand notability sourcing for biographies of living persons. Other types of articles often do economize on referencing and notability and get away with it, but WP:BLPs cannot: either they have the proper sourcing for both content and notability or the article (or the improperly sourced content) is deleted. There is no wait and see attitude when articles or content about real people living real lives for which a Wikipedia article could have real world repercussions.
A final reason why I stopped to give you advice is you are AUTOPATROLED and as such you should understand BLP much better than you apparently do. // Timothy :: talk10:41, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for being polite and also direct. I see how the things are going and also I see how the things have changed here. I will stay away from that discussion and from Wikipedia as I did before. Drjmarkov (talk) 11:57, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Being chairman and managing director of Shell makes it almost certain that sourcing will be available, probably more likely in hard copy than online given he died in 1978. In fact, one book is already cited in the article. Have you or the nominator read it to determine whether there is information about him in there or have you just assumed it's not relevant as it's a printed book and not an online source? Of course, given the not uncommon name it's not that easy to do an online search for him. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:58, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Agree he doesn't pass WP:ANYBIO but just about passes WP:GNG or WP:BASIC on current sourcing (some of which has been added since nomination). I suspect more coverage of him may be in newspapers with an emphasis on business, like the Financial Times and Daily Telegraph, but can't say for certain.

Was redirected, since it has an utter lack of independent sourcing, but that was reverted. Would have draftified, but that would have been tantamount to a backdoor deletion since the creator of the article has been banned from editing Darts articles, in part for creating articles like this. Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG. A redirect was appropriate until perhaps the tournament began to be played, but as with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2016 PDC Players Championship series, that might not happen.

Delete: per nom. Fails GNG and EVENT. Sources in article are all primary, BEFORE showed nothing that meets IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth.

Draftify: To use your wording! It is clearly going to meet WP:GNG once it starts, or perhaps a little beforehand, just like all the other PDC European Tour tournaments do. The crime here is that it is WP:TOOSOON, rather than being fundamentally damaging. This does seem like a classic darts wikipedia trope lately; people rushing to the Articles for Deletion page, when a softer approach (finding sources, or a redirect/draft change) would achieve a desirable outcome in a less hostile manner. 212.115.159.212 (talk) 23:21, 24 March 2023 (UTC) Note - Superceded below now that time has passed91.110.52.206 (talk) 15:36, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A point I made elsewhere in exactly the same discussion about another article - there are no rules for darts here. Rather than the constant stream of darts articles for deletion, which descend into "is this tournament notable or not", there should be an attempt to write that down on the sports notability page so that every single article isn't constantly nominated for deletion. Then at that point, people can run around deleting stuff if the consensus says that they should. 91.110.52.206 (talk) 15:36, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Consensus at this point seems to be roughly against keeping this article, but a redirect and draftifying the article have both been suggested as alternatives for deletion, so there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus about what to do about the article.

Keep - I'm now changing my vote, since the tournament has happened. Rather than rush to delete, the appropriate action for editors is to find relevant sources for the material, rather than delete it because someone who came before them didn't do it already. Then if you find they don't exist, fair enough - rather than complain someone else didn't do it. 91.110.52.206 (talk) 15:36, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The absence of the sources does not mean that the article does not meet GNG. It means that either (a) People didn't look for them, or (b) People did look for them and they don't exist. Only (b) would lead the conclusion that it does not meet GNG, and thus far no one has said that the sources don't exist; only that the sources were not included in the article. This is a key distinction in this discussion; I am sure you would accept that if suitable secondary and reliable sources could be found, it would establish that it met GNG.
There was extensive discussion in similar circumstances regarding the 2023 PDC World Darts Championship. While nobody in that discussion suggested it wasn't notable, it had the same absence of secondary sources when it was originally created. Therefore, someone came along and found the sources and added them to the article. That approach could be taken here. 91.110.52.206 (talk) 20:55, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the article is not at all promotional in tone; it is reliably cited; and it lists ten (yes, 10) reliable sources at the end, including several New York Times articles, which give substantial coverage to Heller furniture. The company is certainly notable; I'll just comment that it is described in the sources as "iconic" and "cult", in other words revered by other designers: I've added these citations to the article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:14, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
True (and quotable). I've put this in my daybook (with attribution). However, Heller and the designers with whom the company worked (Alan Heller, really, from what I can tell from the available sources) were the source of many genuinely iconic designs from the era. The Vignelli dinnerware was ubiquitous in certain circles. The fact that it has been re-issued (yet again) almost 60 years after it was first introduced (in Italy), and is sold in the Museum of Modern Art (as well as being held in the museum's collection) should make this claim ironclad. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 22:01, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Lack of any substantial coverage beyond what appear to be trade magazines or PR resources. Being "iconic" without any critical notice from the public at large, isn't. Oaktree b (talk) 13:25, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Guys, I've added citations to the museum collections at Philadelphia Museum of Art and Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) which both hold Heller objects. Clearly these designs are considered important enough to conserve and exhibit by major museums. Further, it isn't every company that gets major architect/designers like Frank Gehry and Mario Bellini to create products for them. By the way, I had nothing to do with this article until I saw this AfD today. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:52, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The company is definitely significant in the history of design (and has collaborated with many important figures in field). The NYT obit re: Alan Heller is, in my view, sufficient evidence of the notability of the company and its founder (in fact, perhaps there ought to be an article in this encyclopaedia about Alan Heller). That said, the writing of the article as is needs considerable improvement. Would simply stripping it down to the essentials be enough to keep it here as a stub (until such time as it has been further improved)? I would be willing to devote some time to this if so. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 18:43, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is. You've also tidied-up the messy bits considerably (my previous comment did not take this into account – apologies). I'll try to lend a hand over the next few days, time permitting. I'm also concerned about trying to conserve the photographs that the editor who created the article uploaded to commons (also see Lella and Massimo Vignelli articles). These are gems – truly important cultural history, as is evidenced by the number of museums that hold the pieces in their collection – thus it would be a shame if readers were deprived of the opportunity to see them here. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 21:30, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
PS: It is likely that Lella was involved in design of the Hellerware (or designed it, full stop). From, my knowledge of the subject, she led the way on three dimensional work, while he was the graphic design visionary (though they clearly worked as a pair on most everything).
Keep the article was egregiously promotional when nominated; it is better now though still somewhat promotional. But both Alan Heller and Hellerware are redlinks, and at least one of those 3 topics is certainly notable. Note [23] for an additional ref. Walt Yoder (talk) 17:15, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but perhaps rename --> "Heller, Inc." or simply "Heller" (which is how the Museum of Modern Art entry reads: "The manufacturer Heller introduced the award-winning design to America in a range of colors"). Cl3phact0 (talk) 17:44, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Noted. I'm not up to the task of renaming articles, just thought it made sense (and would suggest doing so once the matter of the article itself is resolved). -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 06:20, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly notable topic. The extant sourcing in the article could surely be improved, but Auburn is and was a top-level, SEC men's basketball team -- and the article is brand-spanking new, having just been created this month. A search of Newspapers.com turns up > 1,500 articles, just in Alabama, about Auburn's 1980-81 season. See, e.g., [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40][41]. Thus, I conclude that the article passes WP:GNG and needs improvement, but not deletion. Cbl62 (talk) 16:58, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The sources turned up by Cbl62 are evidence that the article passes GNG. In general, I would expect that a top-level Division I men's basketball season would pass GNG, given how much coverage men's college basketball gets in the US.

Keep Even if we reject a number of sources for being "bloggy" or "transactiony" there are still a number of feature articles that provide detail to meet the reuqirmeents of WP:GNG. They need to be incorporated into the article, but that's just editing issue and not a deletion issue.

Delete This article lacks significant sources needed to establish notability. Several of the other articles on holders of this post were also just recently created by the same person, and these similarly lack GNG-compliant sourcing, so their existence is no basis for maintaining this one. John Sherlock Brooking is sourced to some unreliable/non-substantive genealogy pages and a facebook page. John Percy Camm and others are similar.

Clearly the product of UPE/COI (created by an SPA and overly promotional in tone), this article is refbombed with no fewer than 74 references and they're an impressive looking bunch at that - until you start digging down when you are faced with a series of press releases, interviews, promotional pieces and 'awards' that are as routine in the world of architecture as the trade magazines that award them. You could argue "multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" on the sheer number of sources presented alone, but they are by no means reliable or independent. An architect, doing what architects do - but with clearly an unusual flair for self-promotion. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:28, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Multiply draftified and blodged back into mainspace, this insanely long and detailed article about a student learning centre fails to demonstrate a pass of WP:GNG on any grounds, cites no RS-based SIGCOV and fails WP:NORG (although we are not to depend on SCHOOLOUTCOMES, one does note that "Faculties, departments or degree programs within a university, college, or school are generally not considered notable". This one is most certainly not to be considered notable. Redirect to Toronto Metropolitan University as an ATD or, simpler, delete as it is already covered in that article and the likelihood of anyone choosing to search for this institution as a standalone is very, very remote.

Keep. The references seem to establish that this is an architecturally notable building.

Keep as the decision to delete this article previously (in 2021) was because he was not his nation's all time top scorer. There is a consensus in the WPF community to make articles for players who have reached this milestones and Kane has now met and exceeded such criteria. Rupert1904 (talk) 07:57, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep since there are now far more sources specifically on the subject of Kane's international goals. [48][49][50] (The Daily Mail is not deprecated for sport), even a parody article [51], [52]- and that was with a very quick search. Black Kite (talk)09:14, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Kane is now the top scorer for the English national team, @Robert McClenon: I was trying to follow some procedure, but that all appears to have gone out the window! I now realise the history of the pages is not much difference for histmerge, move which is what I intended. However considering he is now top scorer and that is the general bar for these articles this second AfD seems completely unneeded. Regards. Govvy (talk) 09:25, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to User:Govvy - No, this second AFD is not unneeded. What was unneeded, and was harmful to the development of the encyclopedia, was the edit-warring. AFD is a consensus process, which edit-warring is not. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:16, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect. The information is fine in the original article. Having a separate stand-alone article to hold a few tables seems like a less efficient way to handle this information. It's perfectly fine to keep it in the main article. That we can have a stand-alone article doesn't mean we must, and I'm inclined to see the better way to organize this information is to keep it all in the main article, not arbitrarily split it off on its own. --Jayron3217:25, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep For the first AfD he was far from being the nation's top scorer, but now he is, so situation has changed. There is now a lot of interest in his international goals, and plenty of articles now that give partial list of goals, often in the form of his best or most important international goals. His international goals as a group is widely discussed (e.g. comparison with other top scorers, how many are penalties, the opposition he scored against, etc.), therefore the article is notable. Hzh (talk) 14:51, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep there are multiple new sources with significant coverage because he has now become England's top scorer. As such, it now passes WP:LISTN, whereas it didn't at the time of the first AFD, when there was significantly less coverage of his goals. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:59, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Keep per WP:SNOW: knowing notability guidelines and looking at the sourcing, and on top of that looking at the comments by well-established editors in the AfD, I can state with confidence that there is no way this article will be deleted. Drmies (talk) 00:16, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as the references in the article are reliable such as newspapers The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star and well known music website Exclaim and they show significant coverage about the band so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view. Also note that the nominator created Draft:L'Étranger (DJ) so they have a purpose of removing the band to maximise search results, Atlantic306 (talk) 02:31, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: a sufficient number of reliable sources support the article, and there are a few more I found via a ProQuest search. As indicated above, the nominator created the currently declined Draft:L'Étranger (DJ), so this nomination appears suspicious. Mindmatrix12:57, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'm not too clear on what the nominator is talking about, either. I do see one footnote here that's admittedly not good ("Canuckistan Music"), and one that's a dead link in need of replacement, but all of the other sources are solid and reliable ones, largely from gold standard publications like The Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star and Maclean's and Exclaim!, and as noted above other sources are available to replace the weak or dead ones with. The article already plainly documents, and properly sources, that they pass more than one criterion in WP:NMUSIC — the most obvious mic drop of all being #6, "an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians" — so this ain't going nowhere. It's obvious that the nominator is simply trying to clear the decks for their own personal pet topic by getting other things with similar names erased under false pretenses, so this should probably just be speedy closed on snowball grounds. The plain title L'Étranger is a disambiguation page anyway, so even if the draft does get accepted (which I suspect it won't be, given that it's mostly relying on streaming services instead of media coverage for sourcing) there still won't be any conflict here. Plus I've already ditched the bad Canuckistan and dead Canoe sources, and replaced them with some more ProQuest retrievals. Bearcat (talk) 14:15, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's a shame you have that viewpoint. I've been nothing but objective about both topics here. For my sources I've listed a national newspaper, national music magazines such as DIY, Clash, ComplexUK, Resident Advisor, Vice where the topic has received coverage.
Which "streaming sites" do you speak of? Are you referring to the fact L'Etranger has had exclusive Apple Music DJ mixes? This only adds to the notability of the topic.
It seems to me that a large percentage of editors like yourself on here are elitists on an ego-trip to dismiss legitimate subjects for whatever personal grounds.
The references the topic are as legitimate as the ones used on this page. And from an objective point of view, L'Etranger the musical artist is far more notable than a short-lived punk band from the 1980s Djjdwetherspoon (talk) 17:26, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, for starters, if your guy has coverage in Vice, you certainly haven't actually cited it at all — and what you've cited from Complex is not coverage about a DJ named L'Étranger, but coverage of other people which tangentially verifies that those other people exist while completely failing to even mention your guy by either his real name or his stage name. A source clearly can't support your guy's notability if it doesn't even mention him at all.
And an Apple Music DJ mix doesn't constitute a notability claim if your source for that is the Apple DJ mix itself — you don't make a musician notable enough for Wikipedia by sourcing his music to its own presence on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud or iTunes, you make a musician notable enough for Wikipedia by sourcing his music to third party analytical coverage about him and his music in media.
As noted above, the sourcing in this article comes from The Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, Maclean's and Exclaim!. In British terms, to match that level of sourcing for your other guy you would literally need to be citing The Times of London, The Guardian, The Economist and New Musical Express — that's literally the calibre of sourcing that the Canadian band actually has, but needless to say, you haven't even come close to that in your draft.
Wikipedia is not just a directory of current topics, where people or bands lose their notability just because they aren't still as prominent today as they were 30 or 40 years ago — this is a band that had a legitimate notability claim in their day, and has gold standard media sourcing to support that they pass WP:GNG for it, which means their notability isn't up for any debate. Bearcat (talk) 21:04, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do appreciate the clarification on why some of my sources could be deemed unsuitable. The other sources you are referring to reference aliases he has released under, and an artist he produced a record for. The sentences in my draft explain that.
I agree that the members of the band L'Etranger are notable in their own right, but that is only due to the fact two of their members went on to become members of parliament isn't it. Their individual pages would have sufficed.
The band itself wasn't notable in their day outside of Toronto and I suspect the article only exists because it pre-dates the draft system.
The band clearly must be a source of great national pride and you seem to enjoy splitting hairs - so I'll leave you to it. Djjdwetherspoon (talk) 22:18, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, while it's true that they both went on to become members of parliament later on, they were both notable as musicians — Andrew Cash had several chart hits as a solo artist after L'Étranger broke up; Charlie Angus had several chart hits with another band after L'Étranger broke up, and then started a notable magazine and then became a noteworthy activist and writer; and I notice that you didn't even try to tamp down the notability of Tim Vesely (presumably because you couldn't even pretend his continued notability had nothing to do with music.) Bearcat (talk) 22:32, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is all true. They had music careers and became notable musicians after the band broke up. The band L'Etranger wasn't notable in the 1980s outside of Toronto and the page only exists because it pre-dates 2011.
Your personal investment in the topic is showing here mate and I'd argue it's hard to be objective otherwise. Djjdwetherspoon (talk) 22:42, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The band had GNG-worthy coverage about it, in gold-standard calibre sources like the two most important newspapers in Canada, in its own time, clearly passing WP:NMUSIC #1. Three members of the band stayed independently notable, clearly passing NMUSIC #6. Their most successful single was placed in rotation by MuchMusic, clearly passing NMUSIC #11.
It's over and done, and you're the one who's clearly got a personal investment, not me. You want this to go away because you think it's interfering with another topic you personally care more about, and are clutching at straws to pretend that the band doesn't have the ten hits of GNG-worthy reliable sourcing it has or the three NMUSIC notability claims it has. But also, please read WP:BLUDGEON, because you're dancing perilously close to it. Bearcat (talk) 22:48, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm open to having a dialogue about the notability of the subject and have listened to your points and agree with quite a few of them. We've exchanged an equal number of comments at this stage so I'm a little perplexed as to how I could be bludgeoning the argument?
It would be interesting to hear from a few non Canadian-Indie heads however because I suspect that could be influencing the decision. Djjdwetherspoon (talk) 23:24, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe "Yong Peng bread" is kompyang. From the description of this "Yong Peng bread", it is identical to kompyang - they're both traditional, round in shape, baked with yeast, come in varieties, are still made with traditional methods, and can be kept for a long time by storing in a freezer. Also, I googled "Yong Peng bread" (with the quotation marks) and found this video. The "Yong Peng bread" depicted in this video is clearly kompyang. Lousysofa (talk) 05:11, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As it stands, delete. The single supporting source doesn't identify any such product as "Yong Peng bread", it merely states that the town of Yong Peng is famous for its Fuzhou cuisine, including "Fuzhou plain bread". That's like creating an article on "Whitby fish" based on the idea that Whitby is well-known for the high quality of its fish and chip shops. We can't even justify a redirect unless someone can find evidence that some people, somewhere, are referring to this product specifically as Yong Peng bread. Elemimele (talk) 05:59, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, Yong Peng bread is not an official brand, or a well-known brand accepted by the public.The bread is made in the Malaysian town of Yong Peng, where it actually originated in China.In Yong Peng, the bread is made in a rough way, and there is no guarantee of uniformity in taste.
I don't think it's appropriate to name it Yong Peng Bread, because these breads will have other names in China, so it's not reasonable to use the name recklessly, and I suggest that they be deleted. Zhou Yuji1028 (talk) 08:11, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm all for redirects as an alternative to deletion, but I'm not sure that they're a good idea when the subject isn't mentioned in the target article and we have no way of verifying what it actually was.

Redirect, now that Williamson, Arizona has been revised (by me) to mention/cover it (along with the Williamson Valley vs. Mint Valley distinction), using a Mint Valley Community Organization webpage as source (which could be used also to develop the article further). I agree with dlthewave that a redirect target article should mention/cover the topic; it is no help to redirect something tiny to a topic article with scope way too large to even mention it. Here, however, Mint Valley was a similar or equal thing compared to Williamson Valley, and Williamson includes them both. I imagine there is a Mint River or arroyo or creek, corresponding to a Williamson river or arroyo or creek? Actually I was in Williamson once and somewhere in the general area I took a picture of a bridge over a dry arroyo; i think but am not sure that was actually in Williamson. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 20:27, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
