Redirect as suggested. While it's not exactly "fancruft", it is poorly sourced. On the other hand, he has claims to heading several important deposed royal families, so deleting this will erase the coding for a potentially valid article. Bearian (talk) 00:25, 22 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean by speculation? It is relatively significant coverage about the company itself, The Information is a reliable, secondary source, and the authors and source appear to be independent from the subject.

Keep.

Keep: An actor with starring role in a particularly significant film, I think he passes muster. I suspect there are more sources out there that just aren't on the radar. The early motion picture trades are voluminous but hard to search.Justinkrivers (talk) 15:41, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Justinkrivers, not that i'm challenging the accuracy of your statement, but which film are you asserting to have been "particularly significant", and what evidence are you citing to backup the claim the subject's involvement was "starring", or significant in any way? From my own searching, I have yet to find anything to suggest this individual was particularly noteworthy, else i'd have gladly developed the article myself. If we're making claims he had "significant roles", this needs backing up with something. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:48, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't think it is reasonable to argue that Pr Aronnax's character in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea might be considered not significant. As for Bill Carson in The Great Problem, all right, let me quote the synopsis verbatim for you.

"After her father Bill Carson is imprisoned and her mother Mary dies, Peggy becomes a pickpocket. When she is caught, a reform-minded district attorney, George Devereaux, decides to take her in as his ward and "civilize" her. George's experiment is a success, and Peggy is soon engaged to one of his friends. At the wedding, however, she realizes that she really loves George, so she runs away and becomes a thief once again. Meanwhile, Bill has been released, and he is determined to kill George, who had him convicted. When Peggy, who secretly has been watching George, sees Bill pull a gun on him, she jumps between the two men and lets the bullet hit her. Bill forgets all about vengeance after wounding his daughter, and then, when Peggy recovers, George marries her."

It is even more significant when you know the topic and message of the film, again, let me quote AFI for you, verbatim: "According to news items, this film embodied the theories of American penologist Thomas Mott Osborne, the chairman of the New York State Commission for Prison Reform (1913) and warden of Sing Sing prison in New York State (1914-16). Osborne assumed a false name and secretly served a week at Auburn prison to learn of conditions there. At the time of this film's release, Osborne was vindicated in court of one set of charges, and awaiting trial on further indictments. "

You could also watch the films. So 2 significant roles in 2 notable films. QED. Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 17:04, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I did indeed recently watch the 1916 version of 20,000 Leagues, at a theatre with an original live score by a band. I specialize in silent film, and although I can't say I love this version, it certainly is a cinema landmark. Would have loved to see Stephin Merritt's score in San Francisco. There are numerous markers of its significance...programmed regularly, received a restoration from national archive, is preserved in notable collections, programmed for international festivals, written about a lot. The professor is one of the main characters. This is true across the other five adaptations of the novel that I have watched (and the novel itself). I mean, he's really the lead character except that Nemo is the juiciest role and usually gets top billing. Justinkrivers (talk) 17:33, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Reply: @Mushy Yank: WP:NACTOR applies (its part of NBIO) and it says clearly, "Such a person may be considered notable". You have a bad habit of twisting guidelines to substitute your opinions on notability and it needs to stop. When a guidelines says may be notable it does not mean always is notable. Do not present it otherwise. // Timothy :: talk 21:05, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
My comments are both sourced and well informed. The text of a blockbuster movie is certainly a source and is relevant in this context. I don't have any personal interest in this article. I just think it meets the criteria for notability. I also wouldn't mind if you assumed some good faith. I also see newspaper articles that show him touring in theatre productions across the country, working for Edward Albee's grandfather as a stage manager in Rhode Island, managing the Lafayette Players... the New York Dramatic Mirror reports that he did at least two seasons with Ben Hur in 1907 (this show was the Cats of its day), he also directed theatre in Chicago, Washington, New York, Albany...there's a picture of him in The Knickerbocker News in 1947 giving a Gannett reporter stage makeup (probably for a feature that I haven't found) and there's a letter to the editor he wrote to the New York Sun in 1927 referencing an article he wrote in The Evening Sun...seems like he got lots of coverage in sources that require a little more effort to search. I'm an experienced editor and a very good researcher and I stand by my comments completely.Justinkrivers (talk) 01:37, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Note on the reply by TimothyBlue above. Since they pinged me, and considering the content and tone of their latest reply, I find it necessary to add a note, although I had expressed no willingness to do so: You have a bad habit of twisting guidelines to substitute your opinions on notability and it needs to stop. When a guidelines says may be notable it does not mean always is notable. Do not present it otherwise. does not seem to be an appropriate comment, neither in tone nor content. If someone really thinks this rather serious accusation is supported by something, then, by all means, let them raise the issue at the appropriate forum. As for me having presented the WP:NACTOR guideline in a misleading light during the course of this particular discussion, it is very easy to verify that it is not true. Should anyone indeed think that something, whatever it is, needs to stop, I am, again, inviting them to raise the issue at a more appropriate forum, as this is not what we are discussing here.

Comment, I respect the expressions offered by A. B. and Go4thProsper, however do note that they appear to suggest that WP:SOURCESEXIST without explicitly knowing that to be the case; this is a position that should be avoided in a deletion discussion. The text on that link says it fairly straight: "We keep articles because we know they have sources, not because we assume they have". My position is that I struggled to find sufficient sourcing to justify an article for the individual. I appreciate not every historic publication has been digitalised, but by late 2023, many have and the lack of WP:SIGCOV in what has been digialised is apparent. As I noted in previous comments, i'd have welcomed the opportunity to develop this article if I could find sufficient sources. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:45, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
In one of my previous comments I suggested a number of avenues for further searching as well as other sources I found that indicate further inquiry would be fruitful. This subject isn't of interest to me personally so I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it, but I think this article is a great example of one of the unfortunate biases that we deal with here on a regular basis: the bias towards digital as opposed to analog sources. A successful and notable theatre career would not be covered in digitized sources, in a similar way that a successful and notable theatre career of even the 1970s or 80s is often not covered in digitized sources. I've run into that a lot. Justinkrivers (talk) 23:58, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Justinkrivers, while I accept that there may well be "unfortunate bias" when it comes to actors published in historic sources, that doesn't extend to all editors, nor does it mean that someone who had some form of career historically is automatically notable without being able to demonstrate that as being the case. Further up, you mention you found some interesting material but failed to further reference its whereabouts or clippings, which would have assisted (I found sources relating to a different person by the same time, during that time also, which I was mindful not to conflate with our subject).

In contrast, I had no issues writing similar articles (from scratch) on the likes of Allene Crater, Gisela Werbezirk and Daisy Belmore, all of who acted on stage and/or film during the late 19th/early 20th century; I trust this also shows a committent from myself in establishing such articles. I am sure there is much more material on those yet to be digialised also, but enough was there to demonstrate notability. I struggled to find WP:SIGCOV on Dan Hanlon; maybe it's very deeply hidden, maybe not, but we could always revisit an article further down the line, as there is WP:NORUSH. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:35, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I mentioned the Evening Sun, the New York Dramatic Mirror and the Knickerbocker News specifically. Only a few of those are digitized and sometimes are accessible via Fulton Newspapers. Knickerbocker is only digitized for a couple of years in late 1980s, the rest is on microfilm only, so you'd have to go to Albany. Some of the motion picture trades are searchable via Lantern. His name is Daniel E. Hanlon and can be found as Daniel E. or as Dan E. sometimes.Justinkrivers (talk) 14:07, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete fails WP:NBASIC. People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. Hanlon does not satisfy those guidelines, even though he may be notable due to his roles, NACTOR is part of NBIO as TimothyBlue states above. I can't find NBASIC-noteworthy sources either on ProQuest, Google Books, and the Wikipedia Library. Justinkrivers, does the sources you mentioned above (The Dramatic Mirror, The Knickerbocker News, The Evening Sun, etc.) have significant coverage of the subject, and is independent and secondary? Tails Wx 02:20, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Independent and secondary, yes. Significant, not sure. I see short items that mention his career to the public as if it were worthy of reporting on but I don't see any long profiles of him. There's a mention as well to a column or article series he wrote in the Evening Sun but that paper is not fully digitize. The photo in the Knick appears to be a lead in to a larger story but the rest of that issue is not digitized. What I have found indicates that he did those few films and then went back to a long national career in theatre, which suggests further avenues of inquiry. He appears as an author or co-author of plays in the copyright registers so there are a bunch of play titles and collaborators to calibrate a search as well. My point continues to be that the places where it makes sense to look are not the places where people are looking. A half-hearted attempt on my part came up with a whole bunch of things I could follow up on. But I don't really have the time. I don't love the idea that an article might be deleted because I was too lazy to check, but that's the system we have. The vast majority of newspapers are not simply digitized. Google books is a great resource, but it skews us all because the number of their digitized papers seems like a lot but is really a fraction of what's out there. That's why I like Fulton, it's a chaos grabbag.Justinkrivers (talk) 14:09, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Paul Christiano (researcher)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Little evidence that Christiano passes WP:NBIO, WP:NSCIENTIST/WP:NACADEMIC or any other Wikipedia notability criterion. There are two RSes, one of which is an interview with a personal friend and the other is from a single press tour in July which supplied almost all the RS coverage I could find in a WP:BEFORE. Neither is a biographical piece. The article has many other references, but they're all primary. Request for better sourcing to address the issue on the talk page for two weeks, no response; PROD removed without addressing the sourcing deficiencies. What are the three best independent third-party RSes supplying significant biographical coverage to the requirements of WP:BLP? - David Gerard (talk) 19:26, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep Hi David, I didn't see the message you put up on the talk page. I think Paul Christiano meets the following criterion from WP:NACADEMIC: "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." He's first author of "Deep reinforcement learning from human preferences" and co-author many other RLHF-related papers, which are extremely highly cited and a core technique used in training large language models like ChatGPT. See his Google Scholar here. Additionally, he is featured in an article in Time's list of 100 most influential people in AI. Enervation (talk) 08:52, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep per WP:GNG as evidenced by recognition on cover of TIME magazine (one of 28 faces) and feature article in corresponding issue about the TIME 100 Most Influential People in AI (TIME 100/AI), as well as the Fortune magazine article which nominator agreed counted toward notability on the article Talk page. In addition, the 2017 New York Times article "Teaching AI systems to behave themselves" did feature Christiano alongside another colleague at OpenAI. These have all been added to the article now.

Knitsey - I had a friend from Historical and both of us was going to insert references for Edgar Coleman when you began vandalising his wiki article while information was being corrected as well as ref insertions. If someone of Coleman's calibre becomes deleted than most everything else on wiki should be. Take the red box and deletion off and give someone a chance to at least finish this man's bio, etc. Very aggressive. CindyHolly1234 (talk) 19:42, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

At no point has Knitsey vandalized the article. The person who reverted the recent edits was me, and I did so because those edits were not supported by any sources and contained promotional wording. This deletion discussion does not prevent continued editing of the article, so if you are aware of sources that support Coleman's notability you can add them.

I can't find any trace of the alleged Harold Schonberg quote outside of wikipedia mirrors (though perhaps someone who is better at wrangling the NYT digital archive can do better?) and the only evidence I can come up with for a pianist called Edgar Coleman at all is this youtube video which could have been taken anywhere. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 09:36, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete - It is not impossible for CindyHolly to edit an article when someone else is working on it; just copy your text and paste it back a minute later. So those promised sources won't be coming. I have a subscription to New York Times and more search capabilities through my university library, and neither Coleman nor the text that H. Schonberg supposedly wrote about him can be found in the NYT archives for 1960-1980 when Schonberg was their classical music critic. I can find nothing else reliable online, including pre-Internet sources in Google Books. I too question whether Coleman even existed, and if he did he was so non-notable that I also question why someone is so dead-set about forcing info about him into Wikipedia. That is not the attitude of someone interested in encyclopedic knowledge. Nice try with the lawyer threat though, as if one would touch this case with a ten-foot pole. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 23:49, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is a largely undocumented stop on the Union Pacific railroad, used by some farmers for goods if the 2 sentence PDF is to be believed. It's not in Gannett's 1906 Gazetteer of Colorado at all. I can find it listed as "freight services only" in a table in a 1964 Official Guide of the Railways and Steam Navigation Lines of the United States, Porto Rico, Canada, Mexico and Cuba, and that's it.

    - It has been pointed out many times in many discussions over the years that they and many other WWW sites like them are mechanical regurgitators of GNIS database information, that will yield all sorts of ridiculous stuff such as (indeed) weather reports and hotel listings (sometimes quite far away) for the "towns" of freight railway stations. Lax Wikipedia editorial standards such as believing these WWW sites has only compounded the problem of all sorts of places on the WWW making convincing-seeming representations that there are all of these "unincorporated communities" in the world that are in fact anything from survey corner trees through railway stations to (in one case) a cave. See Project:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 357#RfC: GNIS, User talk:Marcusmax/Archive 9#Why does King Arthur Court keep getting created?, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stockton, Arizona, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bullfrog, Utah, User:BhamBoi/sandbox/CH Sources, and many others.
      This very encyclopaedia has been a major part of an echo chamber of planetary scale, repeating and bolstering the falsehoods of other GNIS scrapers, whilst editors here have scraped bad GNIS data (see GNIS#Populated places and Project:Reliability of GNIS data and the whole mass deletion of Carlossuarez46 stubs) by the hundreds of thousands of "unincorporated community" substubs containing outright falsehoods. We have a Wikipedia:WikiProject California/GNIS cleanup task force project that is going to take years to undo the harm to human knowledge that we the editorship of Wikipedia have done, and that's just California.

An article on an artist created by an WP:SPA that, judging by the fact that the username is the same as the artist's official website, is likely connected to the subject. The subject does not appear to pass the WP:GNG or WP:NARTIST. While several references are included here, these either do not mention this individual at all, or merely list them as one of the artists included in a gallery. Searches did not turn up much else - image galleries and mentions of participating in an exhibit, but nothing that could be actual significant coverage. The closest that it comes is articles in college newspapers for colleges that he was a faculty member of, which I don't believe would be sufficient for actually passing the WP:GNG. It looks like this article went through an AFD back in 2015, but was closed as No Consensus due to minimal participation, and so has been languishing here, poorly sourced, ever since.

@PamD: - That is an interesting one - England didn't tour New Zealand after the South Africa tour until 1969, and nowhere includes Jago as part of that tour (pretty sure she had finished playing by then). The visit to New Zealand before that was in 1957, again can't find any evidence of her being on that tour. CricketArchive doesn't have her playing any matches in New Zealand, hence why it isn't included in her article. Perhaps she simply visited New Zealand for fun after the South Africa tour?

Existentialist anarchism[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

For years this article has existed as what amounts to an argumentative essay, attempting to demonstrate links between existentialism and anarchism. None of the cited sources ever appeared to describe an "existentialist anarchism", nor does it appear this term has significant coverage in reliable sources.

Google Scholar only turns up 13 hits, none of which go into the term in any real depth.[9] Only three of these sources predate the article, and none use it as anything more than a throwaway term. The only source that appears to go into it in any depth (Wahl 2018) explicitly mentions that he is attempting to develop it into a "philosophy of the future", declaring it to be "all-too-neglected" by both present-day philosophers and anarchists. I don't see anything in these sources that would bring the article to a length much longer than a stub.

Given that this article appears to fail to meet our general notability guidelines, I propose it be deleted. There's nothing in the text that's really salvageable, and the only redirect locations I can think of are only tangentially related. Grnrchst (talk) 16:04, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment: several things don't add up. The article says the town was destroyed by mountaintop removal mining. If I use the coordinates from the article, it definitely shows a reclaimed surface mine in this spot. It's on a hilltop away from a main road - not a natural place for a community to sprout up. Except for possibly a company coal town, these little East Kentucky town are always down in valleys along roads. So maybe was this a coal town? Coal towns were built to house families of miner who worked in underground coal mines, which were labor intensive (unlike surface mines). They were near the mine's tipple and the main entrance to the mine. The tipple, in turn, was on a railroad line. There'd be settling ponds nearby. I don't see railroad tracks or settling ponds which would still be visible.

Maybe the article's coordinates are wrong?

Rennick's annotated topo map is apparently where this comes from, as it has LITTLE BEECH N. written in as marginalia with an arrow pointing to a point with nothing there. I don't know what this is. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brows Defeat, Kentucky for a similar case. In almost every instance of GNIS pointing back to Rennick and the place not being noted in Rennick's main county documentation, the location has been almost impossible to even verify. Hog Farm _Talk 00:18, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I concur with Hog Farm. This is our past experience, and this is what little we have to go on in Rennick, and it's an exactly analogous situation to that prior discussion. I've just double-checked the manuscripts, including "B" just in case it was filed under "Beech". It isn't. And it isn't in the book. Or in Rennick's post offices of Perry county mnauscript.
I can only add that in many cases Kentucky is best discussed, as Rennick does xyrself (and as Hodge 1918 does too), in terms of its river system and all of the post offices and whatnot along it. I did this for one county, Rennick and other sources in hand, where we have articles following the river system and the post offices that were dotted along them in various places over the years. Witness Goose Creek (Oneida, Kentucky), for one example. Perry County needs all of this GNIS mess refactoring in the same way.
Little Beech Fork of the Big Beech Fork of the Willard Fork of the North Fork of the Kentucky river was the site of coal mines by Elijah and Abijah Hoskins (Hodge 1918, p. 229). That is what the mining was. I don't have the time to refactor this now, but I'd be looking to refactor this somehow into the Willard Fork, or perhaps even as finely grained as Big Beech Fork, depending from what reading Rennick and stuff like Hodge made the most sense, if I were doing it.

Delete if I am understanding the references from Uncle G this is the name of a watercourse by which there was a coal mine and not, as far as anyone can tell, a populated place. Therefore the article on a populated place should be deleted, without prejudice to recreation as an article about the water feature or coal mine at a later date.

- I've left this until last because I think that this one involves going as high up the hierarchy as an outright North Fork Kentucky River article, which we actually had in 2004, and working down from there with sub-articles as necessary. We might get an actual Willard Creek out of it, to which this should redirect if that is the case, but I'm not sure yet. Otherwise this should redirect to North Fork Kentucky River which is where the minor tributaries that don't get standalone articles will be. Rennick doesn't seem to have enough for a standalone Willard Creek, now that I've gone over Big Creek (Perry, Kentucky) and Lotts Creek (Perry, Kentucky) and Trace Fork (AfD discussion), although from the number of tributaries alone Troublesome Creek (North Fork Kentucky River) is definitely standalone.

Agorism[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article has limped on for a decade and a half, without ever managing to pull together many independent, reliable sources. Almost all of the cited sources in the article are directly associated with the subject, largely citing the person that coined the term. And except for the Routledge Companion, none of the sources strike me as particularly good-quality either.

Having tried to research this in the sources I have available to me, I haven't been able to find any evidence that this meets the general notability guidelines. In both the Routledge Handbook of Anarchy and Anarchist Thought and the Routledge Companion to Social and Political Philosophy, it only gets a single passing mention as a term coined by Konkin. This is a far cry from significant coverage.

As such, I don't think this topic is notable in and of itself. This article could probably be merged with/redirected to Samuel Edward Konkin III without much issue. Grnrchst (talk) 15:39, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Pregnancy information site run by anti-abortion advocates, fails WP:ORG. I had boldly redirected to list of anti-abortion organizations, but it was reverted on the basis of the encyclopedia listing. I'd encourage folks to actually look that entry up -- it's a few paragraphs of promotion that sounds like it's directly from the organization. e.g. it starts with As an organization committed to promoting healthy pregnancies and to reproductive issues, the American Pregnancy Association pursues its goals through education, research, advocacy, and serving the public interest. APA is headquartered at 1424 Greenway Drive, Suite 440, Irving, Texas. and goes on along the lines of Each day, approximately 5,479 couples experience fertility issues, and APA is concerned with providing information and support for them..

Keep as in-depth coverage exists. We need at least two in-depth articles to prove the notability, and there are more than that if someone conducts a proper WP:BEFORE. We shouldn't be biased just because it advocates for "anti-abortion practices". It's a significant non-profit organization, having attracted coverage from The New York Times, Dallas Morning News, and Associated Press when known as America's Pregnancy Helpline (read the quoted excerpt below). Most of the in-depth media coverage pertains to its time as a pregnancy helpline. Now, it's involved in many more activities. Sage Publishing's book has covered it in detail, including a two-page coverage accessible on Google Books. Sage Publishing is a reputable academic publisher, and its reliability can't be doubted by cherry-picking some lines. The two-page coverage includes excerpts like the ones below, demonstrating it is well-written:

APA was founded in 1995 in response to the me-dia attention that followed the decision of an in¬fertile couple, Mike and Annie Shaeffer, to use two billboards in the city of Dallas to announce their desire to adopt. After the Dallas Morning News and the Associated Press covered the story, the national media became interested in the couple. As a result of the national coverage, the Shaeffers received more than 1,000 calls from individuals and couples who needed advice and information on pregnancy and reproduction. This led to the decision to establish America's Pregnancy Helpline, which generated 212 referrals in its first year, and to begin broadcasting public service announcements. Over the next nine years, the helpline provided information and referrals to 147,000 women and families from 75 coun¬tries and the United States. In 2003 the helpline was expanded into the APA.

Additional in-depth articles just about the APA is given below:

Butler, Kiera (22 April 2022). "The Disinformation Campaign Behind a Top Pregnancy Website". Mother Jones.
Corinna, Heather (8 August 2008). "Exposed: American Pregnancy Association Hides Links to CPCs".

There is a lot more "According to..." because it is regularly featured in media, so this makes it difficult to find in-depth coverage hidden between these hundreds of articles. 64.135.238.133 (talk) 19:03, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

at least two in-depth articles - sometimes two. sometimes more. WP:ORG is usually a higher bar than WP:GNG.

We shouldn't be biased just because it advocates for "anti-abortion practices" - Nobody is doing this.

Sage Publishing is a reputable academic publisher, and its reliability can't be doubted by cherry-picking some lines - Sage is generally reputable, but the article it's self-evidently promotional fluff, and anyone basing a !vote on it should look at it in full.

Most of the in-depth coverage is critical, so an article about the subject would need to be primarily about that. In general, if it's a borderline notability case and nearly all of the coverage that does exist is negative, personally I prefer to omit it from the encyclopedia rather than have a short, negative article. YMMV. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:51, 18 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

WP:THREE is an essay, not a guideline and since this is a non-profit, so WP:NONPROFIT is applicable, not WP:NORG. If you still think otherwise, seek a consensus to change the guideline. However, please avoid using a conservative non-profit as a test case. APA meets WP:NONPROFIT because its activities are national in scale (#1) and has received coverage (both negative and positive coverage, not just negative) in independent reliable sources (#2), so we can write a balanced article that will be helpful to readers searching for information about this organization and its activities. WP:NONPROFIT/WP:NGO quoted below, thanks.

1. The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.
2. The organization has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization.

  The article notes: "Here’s another thing it doesn’t mention: The American Pregnancy Association isn’t the dispassionate medical authority it might appear to be. Rather, it’s the brainchild of a Texas-based pro-life activist named Brad Imler, and it’s rife with medically inaccurate information—on both abortion and other reproductive health topics. The site hawks unproven blood tests, infertility treatments, and products purported to support the pregnant person and developing fetus. The American Pregnancy Association presents all of its information and products as evidence-based and medically accurate—but nowhere can one find its activist foundations or learn that it doesn’t have a single medical professional listed on its staff of a handful of people."

Keep ~~Merge~~ From some quick research the ITIC is part of three loosely related entities with its parent the IICC, and an American "friends of" group the AFIICC. The meaning of the letters don’t really matter at the moment. What does is that the three form a quasi-private quasi-military intelligence organization with large resources of money and research and the ability to extend the military intelligence capabilities significantly. They get overlooked because they’re private, but this means there’s no oversight either. A Standalone article should be based on the IICC, showing how the other two support it and military intelligence. The three together have more RS including info critical of them which allows more NPOV. Short of someone volunteering to take on that article (I can’t) the info here should be merged into one of the Other Israeli intelligence org articles so that the info is there for an enlarged article later.

As a matter of fact, she is a well-known motivational speaker. But we all know that popularity has little to do with establishing notability. I did a google search about her in Malayalam (സഹല പർവീൻ, സഹ്‌ല പർവീൻ). The outcome was disappointing because I was only able to obtain one source, which is an interview. Because of that, for the time being, she does not meets our GNG standards. Thilsebatti (talk) 08:20, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep. I found two reviews of her work in Publishers Weekly (link 1 and 2), one review in Kirkus (it's not a paid review so it's valid for notability), two reviews in Library Journal (link 1 and 2), and additional reviews in Booklist and AudioFile Magazine that can be accessed through the Wikipedia Library. In addition, Booklist selected one of her novels for their Editors' Choice 2021 of the best books of the year. I agree that Williams didn't meet notability guidelines for an actor when the previous AfD was decided in 2020. However, since then she has released two well-reviewed books through HarperCollins, so per WP:Author she now meets notability guidelines.--SouthernNights (talk) 15:15, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Niharika Acharya[edit]

WP:BLP of a journalist, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for journalists. As always, the notability test for a journalist is not passed just by offering technical verification that she exists, and requires external validation of her significance (noteworthy journalism awards, significant coverage and analysis about her and her work, etc.) in sources other than her own employer -- but this literally just states that she exists, and sources her existence to one 31-word blurb announcing her hiring for a job and a transcript of a piece of her own journalism. But we're looking for sources where she's the subject, not the creator, of the content, so the transcript isn't support for notability at all, and the blurb would be fine for use if she had more WP:GNG-worthy sourcing alongside it, but isn't substantive enough to get her over GNG all by itself if it's the only valid source in play.

Keep, it doesn't have to be unsourced. The German Wikipedia article has sources. It was a very successful film that also raised some controversies, pushing frontiers in what was then acceptable (near-naked woman!).

1984 Midwest pipe bombings[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I am typically loathe to delete articles, but there is simply nothing to be said on this. If I was to expand this article with all the information available on it, I could get maybe one or two more paragraphs. I wish there was more coverage, as the little information we do have is deeply bizarre, but there isn't.

Here is what a WP:BEFORE check turned up:

a mention in a lulu.com published book about weed (??)
two brief mentions in department of treasury legal documents
1 sentence in a book by a reliable (?) author
numerous news articles, but all date from the immediate aftermath or him being sentenced - no further (or any) analysis, remarks about the general situation, or any sort of commentary beyond dry facts. if he died in prison or was released it was never remarked upon so the story cannot be "completed"

And even besides the dubious notability there is simply not enough information to write a full article. An insane man placed a bunch of bombs and then got put in prison. I'd suggest what little information exists be merged somewhere but there's really nowhere to put it. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:56, 7 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Redirect to Terrorism in the United States#Left-wing and anti-government extremism per WP:ATD-R. I added a mention of the bombings there.

StonyBrook _babble 05:28, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I like the idea to merge and then redirect better than the proposal to delete. BTW the article was actually originally made (not by me, by an IP editor) as an article on Karr. My bad for not finding the thing on ProQuest - I assumed whatever I could have found on him would have turned up when I searched on the Wikipedia library but I guess not :/ PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:34, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Apparently the guy Karr tried to murder has an article. I still don't think this is enough for notability but, huh. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:40, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I wonder what Drewmutt, the editor who moved the title, would say about the prison source (he seems to be away). In any case, the prison info could theoretically be added to Christopher John Boyce even if Earl Steven Karr's content is redirected to the Terrorism article. In any case, per WP:MERGEREASON #3, this article seems a bit too short (as it stands now) to stand alone. But I am still willing to consider renaming as a second option. StonyBrook _babble 06:06, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think that's a good idea. A prison attack is already mentioned in the article (though I am unsure if it is the same one?) so a short sentence elaborating would not be out of place. The article's content being redirected to the terror article is a satisfactory solution. PARAKANYAA (talk) 14:23, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

List of armed conflicts involving the United States[edit]

This is a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of List of wars involving the United States. Although yes, there is technically a difference between an "armed conflict" and a "war", the line between the two is blurry and often politically charged. Rather than making a difficult and controversial decision on how to classify every conflict, it seems like the consensus has been to list them all as wars (see the pages in Category:Lists of wars by country).

Some of the content here might be worth merging with List of wars involving the United States, but a lot of it gives WP:WIKIVOICE to specific historical viewpoints and would need to be revised heavily first. SilverStar54 (talk) 01:11, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete: There wasn't a Spanish conquistador from the United States of America in the 1500s. There wasn't even a United States until 200 yrs later. Some mishmash of OR and wishful thinking. Just wrong all over the place. Oaktree b (talk) 15:24, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

My WP:BEFORE search found only routine coverage of results. There are quite a few matches in the British Newspaper Archive, but none of the ones I saw provided significant coverage. I also checked the issue of Snooker Scene that reported on Brumby turning professional, and that contains only a passing mention (and the results of his play-off match).
