Local election for a small suburb. It has not been covered by any media outside of the Atlanta metropolitan area, failing WP:GEOSCOPE and WP:GNG. Previous discussion was closed because it was still linked from the Main Page. SounderBruce 22:21, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep By number of sources alone and prominence of the election (first in 110 years after re-incorporation), I think it certainly does merit an article mention, and I'm not liking the 'still gonna nom this the exact moment after it drops off the main page' rationale at all, because it's obvious if it gets main page mention that we found it very notable based on that alone.

  • The DYK process does not always produce articles that survive tests of notability, especially since there's only a handful of eyes who might see it before it makes the Main Page. All of the sources about the election itself are from the Atlanta metropolitan area, not a single one from the rest of Georgia let alone the country (note that the Yahoo sources are all reposted from local newspapers).

• Keep per above. Also it is not really small, the new city is much bigger than the previous unincorporated area and has a population of between 40-80 thousand people (see talk page discussion). Comparing it to similar sized cities (see this essay about "other stuff exists" arguments), there is the 2022 Bellevue mayoral election (64,000 people), 2022 Pensacola mayoral election (54,000), 2021 Hoboken mayoral election (60,000), 2021 North Miami mayoral election (60,000), 2021 Burlington mayoral election (44,000), 2012 Cheyenne mayoral election (65,000), 2020 Wilmington mayoral election (70,000), 2017 Lancaster, Pennsylvania, mayoral election (58,000), etc. Sahaib (talk) 23:16, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is an argument to avoid. Many of those articles should also be nominated for deletion or merged into listicles, as they have zero outside sources and certainly none that would cover the election's lasting impact. SounderBruce 00:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Merge into Mableton, Georgia - Most of the content of the page is background information explaining that Mableton was incorporated in 1912, then disincorporated in 1916, the re-incorporated in 2022, with information on the campaign, election and opinions of the latter. The actual content related to the 2023 election is quite limited, and I don't see why it would not be folded into the Mableton article, which already has a section on Government. If there is continued interest in the mayoral election in the future, this could be split off into a thematic article such as Mableton, Georgia mayoral elections, but I don't think this topic alone meets WP:N.

Came across this guy working on WP:FEB24 and I'm really struggling to find *any* mention of this neighborhood name that's not realtor-spam. The closest I could find was a mention of a Cypress-Lincoln-Villa as "stakeholders" on a petition. Lincoln and Villa is clearly an intersection, and I suspect this overlaps a lot with something called New Fair Oaks Historic District but IDK about notability on this one.

• The contents of Template:Pasadena, California and Neighborhoods in Pasadena, California demonstrate what Purplebackpack89 (talk · contribs) is talking about.

  That said, the article at hand and quite a number of the others need a big According to whom? question mark against them. Looking for sources for the "neighbourhoods" of Pasadena, I found instead two lists:

  • National Register Districts
    • Arroyo Terrace — which we do not have at all (Arroyo Terrace)
    • Lower Arroyo Seco — which we have as Lower Arroyo, Pasadena, California + Lower Arroyo Seco Historic District
    • Old Pasadena — which we have as Old Pasadena
    • Orange Heights – Barnhart — which we have as Orange Heights, Pasadena, California → Neighborhoods in Pasadena, California
    • Pasadena Civic Center — which we have as Pasadena Civic Center District
    • Pasadena Playhouse — which we have as Playhouse District, Pasadena, California → Neighborhoods in Pasadena, California
    • Prospect Boulevard — which we have as Prospect Park, Pasadena, California → Prospect Historic District
    • South Marenga Avenue — which we do not have at all (South Marenga Avenue)
  • Local Landmark Districts:
    • Banbury Oaks — which we have as Banbury Oaks + Banbury Oaks, Pasadena, California → Neighborhoods in Pasadena, California
    • Bungalow Heaven — which we have as Bungalow Heaven, Pasadena, California
    • Crawford's Vale — which we do not have at all (Crawford's Vale)
    • Garfield Heights — which we have as Garfield Heights, Pasadena, California → Neighborhoods in Pasadena, California
    • Governor Markham — which we have as Bellefontaine/Governor Markham, Pasadena, California
    • Hollston Avenue — which we do not have at all (Hollston Avenue)
    • Normandie Heights — which we have as Normandie Heights, Pasadena, California
    • Ross Grove — which we do not have at all (Ross Grove)
    • South Oakland Avenue — which we do not have at all (South Oakland, Pasadena, California)
    • Washington Square — which we have as Washington Square, Pasadena, California
• We've conflated both of these into "neighborhoods", added a whole load of unsourced extra "neighborhoods", merged some of the historic and landmark districts and not merged some of the things which aren't listed as historic districts or landmark districts at all. And then grouped them geographically instead of which are Historic and which are Landmark.

  Pasadena is a right mess.

  Here are some of the unsourced "neighborhoods" that are not Designated Historic or Landmark Districts but that have been grouped in with them willy-nilly:

  • East Washington Village, Pasadena, California — According to the unsourced article, it isn't even in Pasadena.
  • Linda Vista, Pasadena, California
  • Lincoln-Villa, Pasadena, California
  • South Lake, Pasadena, California
  • Oak Knoll, Pasadena, California
  • Marceline, Pasadena, California
  • Madison Heights, Pasadena, California
  • Lamanda Park, Pasadena, California
  • Raymond Hill/Arroyo Del Mar, Pasadena, California
  • Annandale, Pasadena, California
  • Hastings Ranch, Pasadena, California
  • Eaton Canyon — Included in the "neighborhoods" list, but the actual article is about a river valley.
  • Chapman, Pasadena, California
  • California Village, Pasadena, California
  • Victory Park, Pasadena, California
  • Jefferson Park, Pasadena, California
  • Brigden Ranch, Pasadena, California
  • Casa Grande, Pasadena, California
  • Daisy-Villa, Pasadena, California
• Uncle G (talk) 07:00, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• @Uncle G: You bring up some important points and have necessitated that I explain some of my edits, but you have also brought up some things I need to clarify and correct.
  1. First off, as a result of this AfD, I have begun the process of merging the smaller neighborhood articles into the Neighborhoods in Pasadena, California article. I haven't finished yet; I've only done Northwest Pasadena, North Lake and Downtown. Some of the mergers I made might have been in error. In light of Uncle G's comments, I am probably going to pause making additional mergers until we have further discussion
  2. It's important to note that Category:Neighborhoods in Pasadena, California is NOT Category:Historic districts in Pasadena, California. A neighborhood need not be a historic district to be listed among the neighborhoods in the Neighborhoods article. A neighborhood need not be a historic district to have a stand-alone article either; if there is enough sourcing and content in the article. For example, Hastings Ranch is one of Pasadena's newer neighborhoods, but there is enough information there that I will NOT be merging it.
  3. How the NRHP defines a neighborhood and how realtors, residents, or local utilities define a neighborhood may be different. The realtors, residents or utilities definition may include portions of a neighborhood that don't have enough contributing structures.
  4. Several of the historic district articles didn't mention that they had been added to the NRHP. They may have been added SINCE the same editor who created most of them created them.
  5. A couple of these have or had not one but two articles. For example there’s Lower Arroyo as the realtors define it and as as the NRHP defines it. Prospect previously had two articles as well, but I just merged them.
  6. Upon perusal of the Northeast, Far East, Southwest and Southeast sections, Hastings Ranch; Annandale, Lower Arroyo, Lamanda Park and Oak Knoll should be kept, I'm undecided about Bellefontaine/Markham, and the rest should be merged or deleted.pbp 16:45, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is exciting, all the right people to make some precedent in how to deal with notability of these things. James.folsom (talk) 23:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The problem is that we do have sources for the Historic Districts and the Landmark Districts, but we do not have any sort of list of the "neighborhoods". I found the two aforementioned lists by accident, when I tried and failed to find any sort of list of "neighborhoods" of Pasadena. Instead I came away with a coffee-table book from Prospect Park Publishing, whatever that is, with two lists of the districts, and the City of Pasadena's maps and lists of the Historic and Landmark Districts. There are ten Arcadia Publishing books on Pasadena, one even devoted solely to Bungalow Heaven, and they gave no clue. One Arcadia book came close with Abbot Kinney's Kinneloa ranch that is now just housing, which ironically Abbot Kinney#Kinneloa does not mention or connect to Pasadena.

    I should add for the sake of completeness that the closest that the Arcadia books come to some "Lincoln-Villa" specifically is mentioning Lincoln Avenue.

• Redirect to Neighborhoods in Pasadena, California#Lincoln-Villa. I'll step around the notability issue, there is simply not enough sourcing to write content needing a stand alone article. Just because a topic can technically meet a guideline, doesn't mean it must or should have a stand alone article; the basic (still unsourced) geographic info is already in the target, any sourcing found should go there. It can develop there and if someone finds enough IRS (doubtful) to merit a stand alone article, it can be split out.  // Timothy :: talk  09:13, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the contents reflect that, being basically a short self-description.

I am failing to find indication that this painter meets WP:NARTIST nor WP:GNG. The coverage is not significant, and mostly what he is known for is a case of possible plagiarization of another artist's work on social media.

Dieschburg is pretty known in Luxembourg for his skills in oil painting, a craft that he honed since being a little child (shown in a news coverage available on Youtube). It drew attention fast and a quarrel, often in public, between him and contemporary and avant-garde artists started.

His works featured in newspapers, publications, and catalogues. The whole copyright law case only came later and went viral in social media because of misinformation, racism and sexism allegations against the painter, regarding his work Turandot. The enormous amount of hate he received led him to close his social media (as stated by RTL). It is true that most Internet searches point to the court case, however he won it.

I think the page about him contains good information and I don´t see why it should be deleted. He is young, the page will probably grow within the next years. JdAlembert (talk) 11:33, 18 January 2024 (UTC) — JdAlembert (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

• Delete The article's references are largely trivial mentions, often one or two sentences[10] or even less,[11] with at least one reference that doesn't even include this person's name a single time.[12] Despite unsupported claims like "pretty known in Luxembourg" and "vastly discussed in social media," there is no sign that a single event of an art student getting caught copying from other's work is an event of encyclopedic notability, let alone one that would make the student themself meet the notability guidelines of WP:NARTIST or WP:GNG.

He is still very young and his art undeniably draws attention ^[1]. As someone already pointed out, he is not appreciated by everyone, especially the more contemporary school of thought in art reject him. However that is no reason to ignore him. There absolutely is information around him, not only in the context of the copyright case (that he won). The Luxembourgish Doctor of Law, author and philosopher Gaston Vogel said Dieschburg was very important painter for Luxembourg. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JangdeBlannen (talk • contribs) 17:46, 18 January 2024 (UTC) — JangdeBlannen (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

The Mecklenburg-Strelitz dynasty website is probably under restoration. I also list other sources from French Polynesia. For example, local television, or the President's office.

The result was no consensus‎. Numerically, we obviously have no consensus.

In terms of arguments, the two sides are mostly talking past each other. The "keep" side insists that the topic is notable, and the "delete" side insists that the content is original research by synthesis and/or a POV fork. The problem is that all of this can be true at the same time.

That being the case, the "delete" arguments are prima facie stronger, because content that is OR or non-neutral violates core policies and therefore still merits deletion even if it is about a notable topic. However, in my view, the "delete" side have not convincingly demonstrated their case that the article's content is so problematic that deletion is the only reasonable option. With a few exceptions (e.g., Aquillion), they only assert that the content is policy-noncompliant, without making an actual argument (based on the article's contents and its sources) to show why it is policy-noncompliant.

Given the numerical split, arguments based mostly on mere assertions are, in my view, too tenuous a basis on which to find a rough consensus to delete. Sandstein 18:45, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Without doing original research, which of the sources explicitly talk about the so-called "Denial of the 7 October attacks"? --Mhhossein ^talk 20:00, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is OR -- material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published source exists -- here? Please read the RS, which explicitly cover the topic. If we look at Holocaust denial, to which scholars and researchers are comparing the phenomenon of October 7 denialism, Holocaust denial doesn't only include claims that "the Holocaust didn't happen", but also false claims related to size, culpable party, and method of extermination. A claim that only 300k people died in the Holocaust, would be labeled by scholars and RS as Holocaust denial? Nakba denial does not only explicitly include making the claim that "750k Palestinian Arabs were not uprooted from their homes", but per the WP article, a range of charges that are not denial that the Nakba occurred, including the "denial of a distinct Palestinian identity, the theory that Palestine was barren land, and the theory that Palestinian dispossession were part of mutual transfers between Arabs and Jews justified by war." I guess then only someone denying that the population displacement occurs would qualify? Denial of the 7 October attacks, as RS discuss the topic, includes false claims that the attack on Israel did not occur, it was a false flag operation by Israel, was exaggerated, etc. I'm using how RS discuss the topic, which is what we should go by. User:Longhornsg (talk) 20:07, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IF you think there are problems in other articles needing attention from editors, please convey your concerns to the associated talk pages.

??? Between the sources cited here and those already in the article, the topic more than meets GNG Longhornsg (talk) 09:57, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not how GNG established. The denial of 7 oct attacks should have "Significant coverage" among reliable sources, which is not the case now. Significant coverage is defined as the coverage "directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content." Moreover, WP:VERIFY necessitates the inclusion of "an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material".

• Delete mainly under the pretense of WP:STARTOVER, if not merge into a subsection of the October 7 attacks page and Holocaust denial. The initial article was essentially an essay citing opinion pieces as facts, and equated justification of the attacks as outright denial of them, along with arguably racist blanket generalizations of Palestinians regarding their support of the attacks. Even the second source in the article - the Times of Israel one - doesn't back up the definitions of denialism listed in the article. While there are some great sources/articles on denialism so far (esp. this WaPo one and this Times of Israel one), even many of the sources stated by Longhornsg mention Oct 7 denialism as the reason for an increase in Holocaust denial.

I don't see enough RS available at the moment to keep this page up at the moment. Maybe down the line, whenever the effects of denialism is better studied, sure, but right now the article is scraping the bottom of the barrel for scattered incidents of Oct 7 denial in the news, conflating justification of the attacks with denialism at various points, and every article mentioning large-scale denial of the attacks leads into how that denial is part of a rise in Holocaust denialism. Jebiguess (talk) 20:54, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per Jebiguess. If long term, more reputable sources become available discussing in depth denial of the attacks we can remake the page, but for now as said above and on the article talk page there isn't enough there, and the article is heavily breaching WP:NPOV with its comments on Palestinians especially. We can add a paragraph to the October 7 attacks page with the few good sources. CoconutOctopus talk 21:01, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, preferably using the sources found by Longhornsg. There's no need for it to have its own article at the time, but keep the option of a future WP:SIZESPLIT.

• Delete per Jebiguess and WP:TNT. Failing that, merge to a section in 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel.

• Strong Delete: as WP:POVFORK, in which the article title and content appears designed to suggest that the facts as presented by Israel regarding October 7 are beyond dispute. There has still been no third party validation of the version of events provided by Israel (e.g. Israel forbids doctors from speaking to UN group investigating Oct. 7 atrocities) and the Israeli investigation has barely begun (e.g. Israeli Ministers Come Out Against Internal Probe of Army's Conduct on October 7: Israeli ministers lash out at the army chief of staff over team heading the inquiry into the failures surrounding Hamas' assault. 'We are at war, and this is the time you are starting to investigate?' one said). The facts-and-counterfacts of October 7 are still as we speak being used to justify the killings of a huge number of Gazan people every day, so the well-funded propaganda campaigns are still at their peak and we need to tread very carefully. In time we will know whether it is reasonable or not to "question" the events of October 7, but we are still some way away from that point.

For now, views and counterviews should be integrated throughout the relevant articles. See e.g. Wikipedia:Criticism#Approaches to presenting criticism.

Marokwitz (talk) 16:24, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Look closely at these sources in this list. It is a mishmash of:

• Conspiracy theories regarding the October 7 attacks, i.e. people suggesting false flag or Israeli prior knowledge / letting it happen]
• Disputes regarding Atrocities during the October 7 attacks, i.e. whether atrocities were pre-planned, and whether the facts match the Israeli narrative, and
• Broader articles about the Propaganda during the Israel-Hamas war.

These three articles would be clear and delinated subjects and thus useful articles. This current one that we are discussing is a mishmash, which by conflating these three topics creates a significant POV skew. Onceinawhile (talk) 19:34, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about historical negationism related to the October 7 attacks. This term comprises outright denial of the events and conspiracy theories aimed at denying or significantly minimizing the responsibility of the perpetrators. According to a survey by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR), over 90 percent of Palestinians polled believe that "Hamas did not commit the atrocities seen in the videos" on October 7, which is why "Denial of the October 7 attacks" is a notable topic and the subject of intense discussion within reliable sources. Marokwitz (talk) 20:03, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Marokwitz: Just because 70% of polled Americans once believed that Saddam Hussain was behind 9/11,[16] are you arguing that Wikipedia should automatically create an article titled Iraqi involvement in 9/11, focusing on random quotes? — kashmīrī ^TALK 20:09, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, an article about 9/11 denial is the correct analogy. That article scope is defined as "a set of overlapping conspiracy theories that dispute the general consensus of the September 11 attacks that a group of Al-Qaeda terrorists had hijacked four airliners and crashed them into the Pentagon and the original World Trade Center Twin Towers, which consequently collapsed. ". Marokwitz (talk) Marokwitz (talk) 20:14, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Marokwitz: It's not a page about historical negationism, because no learned papers or history books yet cover the topic area, let alone historiographical works analysing such works for negationism.

The Intercept is classified as a biased source on Wikipedia. Claiming that the "mainstream" Israelis, who personally experienced the atrocities, dispute them, is absurd. If you're specifically referring to the news, it is also absurd. Even Physicians for Human Rights Israel, who support BDS, report that the widespread rapes occurred. That you found a single biased source and are now going around claiming well documented atrocities didn't occur is offensive. Drsmoo (talk) 23:20, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly every source displays some sort of bias, perspective, or leaning. Nothing wrong with that. What matters for Wikipedia is whether a source is WP:RELIABLE – and The Intercept is considered reliable here.

• Delete or draftify as WP:SYNTH. In its current form, this article is essentially a collection of press clippings about instances when various people questioned parts or all of the 7/10 attack. The article synthesises these individual views to create an impression that "7/10 denial" is an actual concept or phenomenon, separate from (1) the normal denial of uncomfortable facts, and (2) standard political narrative (no political leader ever says, "we deliberately kill civilians").

An encyclopaedic article about denial of something should focus on a well-defined phenomenon, its causes, psychological/sociological mechanisms, explanations, frequency, and so on, based on quality social and psychological studies. Sensational press clippings don't really cut it. For me, the current writeup can only be TNT'ed or, at best, draftified. — kashmīrī ^TALK 19:55, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (regular, not weak or strong). Let's start with the undisputed fact that 7 October denial is a thing. Next, based on the impressive amount of sources it should be concluded that is also a notable thing under the GNG. That much is important but still insufficient for a keep. Examing this article in the context of similar articles, it should be concluded that the denial article is a legitimate spinoff of Misinformation in the Israel–Hamas war#"False flag" conspiracy theories. The section and article should be better integrated. I have added a link that will be a first step. As a notable, legitimate, and necessary SPINOFF, this article should be kept. gidonb (talk) 20:32, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I hadn’t notices that Misinformation article. Having read it there I feel even more strongly about my delete vote:

  • you assert “the denial article is a legitimate spinoff” but provide no rationale.
  • why not call this False flag conspiracy theories regarding the October 7 attacks rather than trying to combine it with other unrelated elements of the dispute? Onceinawhile (talk) 20:44, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad I could introduce you to new information! It's very important to understand information in context.

Your question if the name of the article should change relates to my comment The section and article should be better integrated. I was thinking perhaps a rename of the "False flag" conspiracy theories section to "Denial of the 7 October attacks" but hadn't thought this through yet. There are other options. For example, conspiracy theories on both ends. That's common and could be more NPOV. Yet it seems that people just deny these atrocities ever happened, also without conspiracy or false flag theories. That would speak in favor of denial again. In the end, this is an editorial decision that could be debated here or on a talk page.

Regarding the rationale or need for having this SPINOFF, it should have been implied above but I'm happy to make it more explicit. Thank you for this opportunity! Misinformation in the Israel–Hamas war deals with a wide range of issues that do tie together. These 7 October consparicies/denial are one small topic therein. Since so much has been written on this topic, it is notable under the GNG. Yet who says that it cannot be contained in the parent article? We often merge notable content! People, who know me from other AfDs, know I'm big on that. It's exactly what I meant here: That much is important but still insufficient for a keep. Well, since Misinformation in the Israel–Hamas war deals with such a broad range of issues and so much has been written in sources and at WP about these conspiracy theories/denial, we must have a spinoff. The reason is simple: if we would merge the content of Denial of the 7 October attacks into the Misinformation article, WAY TOO MUCH of the content of the misinformation article would be about one type of misinformation and that article would no longer be balanced over the entire range of issues that it covers. Briefly put, we would knock it entirely out of whack!

Let me know if I missed anything and if my position now is clear to you. I had read your opinion and saw that you think that the article is a povfork. That would be a concern, however, you did not explain a povfork of what. Maybe something you can elaborate upon (or reconsider) under your own position, so to strengthen your own argument. As explained, I view the article as a SPINOFF, not as a povfork, and a legitimate and even necessary SPINOFF at that. gidonb (talk) 21:48, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gidonb: in summary your three paragraphs say simply "[a merger would mean that] WAY TOO MUCH of the content of the misinformation article would be about [denial]". Let's check that in numbers:

• Denial of the 7 October attacks - 1122 words, of which about 120 words are generic text about the conflict
• Misinformation in the Israel–Hamas war - 4328 words, of which the section "False flag" conspiracy theories is 357 words (8% of the article)

So if we were to put this entire denial article into the misinformation article we would be at c.5000 words, of which about 1000 words would be from the denial article (20%).

I think 20% is entirely appropriate.

By the way, perhaps the best illustration of the real problem with this article is its sentence By January 2024, there was a small, but growing group that denied basic facts of the attacks and spread falsehoods and misleading narratives... An NPOV version of that sentence would instead be ...small groups on both sides either denied basic facts or invented and exaggerated facts regarding the attacks and spread falsehoods and misleading narratives... I.e., as is well documented, there are two sides to the propaganda. This NPOV version fits well into a misinformation article, and is much more consistent with the intentions of Wikipedia as a project.

So for the second part, AFDISNOTCLEANUP but that was only your BTW. Let me get back to you on the merge! gidonb (talk) 18:04, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So a fifth of the texts just on October 7 denial would be way too much text on this topic, relative to the other misinformation topics and (my actual main line) knock [the article] entirely out of whack!. Please take into account that the misinformation topics still have huge growth poptential and take into account that folks would say that the article isn't balanced between misinformation on the different side of this war. Furthermore, the 7 October denial article will still grow a lot because last Sunday a law passed the Knesset making 7 October denial and support illegal. There is no doubt that this law will pass the Knesset again after committee work. So merge, while I always consider, is not a good option. gidonb (talk) 14:43, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By all means. My edit has been undone. It's a principled position regardless of whether I want to keep or delete. People slack way too many warnings on articles, usually when they want to delete. When I nominate, I remove excessive warnings so there is a good chance for the opposite position to be adopted. The nominator should convince in the opining.

For something that is not a thing, not many words are necessary. Selfstudier (talk) 12:13, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kudos for one correct statement: For something that is not a thing, not many words are necessary. Yet the sources prove that 7 October denial is definitely a thing so then you would already need more words. Arguing that it isn't a notable thing is already a huge stretch. Then again, so are some other debates without merit.

More importantly, the combination of your correct statement and your AfD to remove 7 October denial as nonexistent, not nonnotable, indicates that this AfD is an exercise in "7 October denial denial". Someone suggested before that this debate includes 7 October denail. If true, I would call that out. I haven't seen it yet. 7 October denial denial is definately happening here! gidonb (talk) 13:15, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yet the sources prove that 7 October denial is definitely a thing Er no, they don't, they just show that this one and that one (eg Palestinians, Hamas) deny this and that, big deal. Random people disputing stuff does not add up to a real subject, not even close. Selfstudier (talk) 13:20, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, or merge in to the main article if anything is salvageable. This is a WP:POVFORK of the main article that relies on a comparative tiny handful of sources to perform WP:SYNTHESIS. Of the sources in the article, only three sources (the Washington Post, ynet, and the Times of Israel) use the word "denial"; the ynet coverage is just a brief note that the Washington Post coverage exists.) Two of these sources are WP:BIASED ones; we cannot base an entire article on just that. Likewise, the sources listed above cover a wide variety of views that can't be easily combined into a single article without synthesis, including conspiracy theories about the attack as a whole; people who deny, downplay, or dispute specific atrocities, which in turn can range from denial of things that clearly took place to disputes over aspects where the truth or magnitude remains unclear; and broader coverage of propaganda on the topic. Few of the sources actually combine this into a singular topic - the lists of sources above reads like a news source for every usage of the word "denial", which isn't a useful base for a Wikipedia article. "Denial" and "denialism" are also extremely strong terms that we'd want high-quality sourcing to back up, with special care to avoid over-reliance on a mixture of sources that leans towards any one bias; right now, most of the sources are recent news articles, many of which are from WP:BIASED sources. When we make sweeping accusations of historical negationism in the article voice or title like this, encompassing a wildly disparate and far-ranging array of totally distinct claims, we want to be absolutely sure we know precisely what the academic consensus is and which views the academic consensus supports describing that way, which in turn requires being extremely specific about what views we're focusing on. None of that is present here, at least not yet. EDIT: Additionally, it's important to point out that while many of the sources presented for this are WP:BIASED, other sources cover disputes over accusations of atrocities and war crimes related to this conflict in a very different way, with roughly equal weight given to accusations and denials by each side.

• Strong keep Extremely important topic as per Longhornsg, Marokwitz, Gidonb, Eladkarmel and others. Denying this dramatic event or minimizing the horrendous atrocities committed by Hamas - raping and committing other sexual and gender based crimes, beheading, torturing, burning people alive, mutilating bodies and indiscriminately killing more that 1000 civilians - is similar to denying the Holocaust. Quality is a different issue. GidiD (talk) 16:42, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  We know what Holocaust denial is, we just don't know what 7 October denial is, just something made up. Selfstudier (talk) 17:04, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @GidiD: Before you asserting a position on what is and isn't denial, perhaps you should first get your basic facts straight. The current count of civilians killed in the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel is 766 – and if you're inaccurate on that lone item of presented quantitative information, I wonder what we should make of your more qualitative assertions. Iskandar323 (talk) 17:21, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @iskander323 - indeed 695 Israeli citizens + 71 foreign nationals ( + civil policemen killed, counted as security forces).

  But what is your main point? Even a "mere" 766 unarmed people, butchered in cold blood, tortured, raped, beheaded, burned, savagely mutilated etc - is not something that should be denied or dwarfed. GidiD (talk) 15:50, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Quite right. Statements suggesting that ALL or even most of those killed were butchered in cold blood, tortured, raped, beheaded, burned, savagely mutilated etc are exactly the type of rhetoric that has allowed for the killing of 30,000+ others.

  The debate here shows exactly why WP needs this article: even some well informed editors attempt to dwarf the attocities commited on 7 October; to claim that the indiscriminate killing of unarmed civilians in cold blood was a negligible phenomenon; to deny the usage of sexual crimes as weapon of war. All, in spite of the reliable evidence cited e.g. by Longhornsg and Markowitz and in related articles Sexual and gender-based violence in the 7 October attack on Israel and 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel. GidiD (talk) 03:49, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  To Drsmoo's question, see the Jeremy Scahill article quoted and linked below.

  To GidiD's comment, no-one has claimed that "the indiscriminate killing of unarmed civilians in cold blood was a negligible phenomenon". This discussion began with GidiD claiming that "[all] 766 unarmed people [were] butchered in cold blood, tortured, raped, beheaded, burned, savagely mutilated etc". GidiD was challenged to verify this and did not do so. Instead in the above comment "butchered in cold blood, tortured, raped, beheaded, burned, savagely mutilated" has been turned into "killing of unarmed civilians in cold blood" and "please confirm that it was all 766 civilians" has been turned into "claiming that it was a negligible phenomenon".

  The main reason for the article's deletion isn't because anyone here is outright denying the attacks, it is because the article has extremely shoddy sourcing and can't seem to define how or what denialism is.

• I'm concerned there may be some shifting of the goalposts here. Just to be clear, you're now stating that the sole topic of the article would be claiming the October 7 attacks didn't happen or were a false flag operation, and that, therefore, disputes over whether specific atrocities took place (in a context where there is no dispute over whether the attacks took place and no conspiracy-theories about false flags) would not fall under its scope, and that sources characterizing that as "denial" could not be used? Most of the sources suggested above, including (at a glance) some you put forwards yourself, are on the latter topic, discussing disputes over specific atrocities rather than the more outright conspiracy theories you mentioned. Would you strike the sources you presented that only talk about "denial of Hamas atrocities" and add a note saying that they're off-topic, would not be used in a hypothetical article, and were presented by accident, then? See my comment above for why this is a particular point of concern - every WP:RS agrees that the attacks took place, and the idea that they are a false flag is certainly a conspiracy theory, but I'm not sure there's enough coverage of those two things for an article. There is certainly not a historical consensus on every individual atrocity allegation, though, as you seem to implicitly acknowledge by shifting your position here to focus solely on two topics of an outright denial that the attacks took place or conspiracy theories that present them as a false flag. I don't think we have enough sources for an article about that, and I don't think it makes sense to combine those two into one article, but I do think that a more tight focus on those two specific things and a hard rule against moving on to more hazy "atrocity denial" until / unless we have overwhelming WP:RS from neutral sources to establish an unambiguous academic consensus would go a long way to assuaging people's concerns about WP:SYNTH and WP:OR and would make it more clear how much sourcing exists for the article's actual two topics as opposed to WP:BIASED sources that may throw around the word "denial" or the concept of historical negationism more glibly than we can in the title or article voice. As an example of why this is a problem, see eg. the claims that Hamas beheaded babies, which most sources treat as unverified [25][26][27] - certainly many Israeli sources (including one of the ones presented above!) would describe people denying that as denialism, but that just shows why we can't rely solely on WP:BIASED sources for things of that nature and why it's important to wait to put claims of historical negationism in the article voice or title until the dust settles and we have actually high-quality sources capable of giving a sense of what the historical consensus actually is. --Aquillion (talk) 05:30, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's refrain from populism. What is "fringe", that is to say, lacking widespread acceptance, is the assertion that this constitutes a genocide. In order for an action to be classified as genocide, a hundred casualties might suffice; the debate centers on the matter of intent. The October 7th attacks are, as JM stated, undeniable. The allegation of a Gaza genocide, at least according to mainstream sources, is what it is - an allegation, until proven otherwise. ManOnTheMoon92 (talk) 13:57, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Oct 7 attacks are undeniable, which is why denial of the Oct 7 attacks is not a thing. The mass killings of 30,000 Palestinians is equally undeniable.

The press, still stuck in the crossfire of mass propaganda efforts, is confusing denial-of-the-undeniable with denial (or more accurately, dispute) of unproven claims. We need to be very careful in this area, particularly when this type of information is still being used to justify terrible things.

  really? I think no well informed man disputes a) most of the dead in the 7 October attack on Israel were civilians; 2) part of Hamas plan was attacking civilian communities in the kibbutzim - so murdering civilians was premeditated, not a colateral; 3) rape and gender based crimes were used as a weapon of war. Denying or dwarfing these known, well documented facts, is denialism. GidiD (talk) 04:13, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @GidiD: Confirming both (2) and (3) would rely on knowledge of the intentions of the Hamas leadership. Please point us to solid proof of this?

  In the same way, many commentators have stated that Israel has intentionally killed 20,000 women and children as a weapon of war to create a deterrent. They base this on the genocidal statements made by senior members of the Israeli government cited by South Africa in the ICJ case. But I am sure you will agree in that situation that such circumstantial evidence is not the same as direct proof that the IDF were ordered to intentionally massacre innocents?

  We must be consistent in the way we process information about both sides of this awful situation.

  https://www.thenation.com/article/world/feminists-hamas-rapes/ - "On October 7, Hamas fighters raped Israeli women and girls. Whatever may have been unknown in the immediate aftermath of the attack, the rapes are by now as substantiated as anything ever can be in an ongoing war. There is eyewitness testimony. There are reports from doctors and others who saw bodies of women who had been sexually abused. There are photographs. You have to be a conspiracist or rape denialist to dismiss all that as fabricated. And yet, social media is crammed with dismissals of the evidence as Israeli propaganda'.

  
  

  @Onceinawhile The fact that Hamas committed widespread rape is not disputed by reliable sources. Yet, you've repeatedly claimed that these facts are uncertain, in the context of baseless WP:SOAPBOX proclamations of "propaganda".

  For example:

  
  

  "great to hear that you have been able to confirm these facts are 100% certain. Please could you provide the sources which:

  
  

  • confirms the minimum number of rapes that have been established, perhaps with the names of the victims where available
  • confirms that these rapes were ordered by the Hamas leadership as a pre-planned strategy of terror, ideally with the source explaining how they were able to ascertain this" - Onceinawhile

  
  

  "the well-funded propaganda campaigns are still at their peak and we need to tread very carefully. In time we will know whether it is reasonable or not to "question" the events of October 7, but we are still some way away from that point." - Onceinawhile

  
  

  "if you show me your count of citizens definitely "killed either in cold blood, tortured, raped, beheaded or savagely mutilated", then I will answer your question. I bet you can’t get to even 5% of the total. Politicians and propagandist media encourage us to extrapolate." - Onceinawhile

  Just because sometime is to be built upon in the future does not mean it deserves an article at the moment. That's what this AfD is about; the majority of sources delineate Oct 7 denial as a rationale for an increase in Holocaust denial instead of it's own, standalone phenomenon. The primary denialist conspiracy, the false flag one, can easily be relegated to a section within the Oct 7 attacks page or the Misinfo during the Israel-Hamas war page. Also, MANY atrocities are denied online shortly after coming to light, like the Douma chemical attack, Mariupol theatre airstrike, and the denial of them is very widely sourced, although the denial is relegated to the article or larger misinformation articles themselves.

• Important source published yesterday: This article from Jeremy Scahill should help clarify some of the questions discussed above. There is far too much reasonable doubt about the Israeli narrative for a one-sided "denial" article to be justified. Scahill, Jeremy (2024-02-07). "Israel's Ruthless Propaganda Campaign to Dehumanize Palestinians". The Intercept. The Israeli government rapidly deployed a multipronged propaganda strategy to win unprecedented support from the U.S. and other Western governments for a sweeping war against the entire population of Gaza. To oppose Israel's war is antisemitic; to question its assertions about the events of October 7 is akin to Holocaust denial; to protest the mass killing of Palestinian civilians is to do the bidding of Hamas… At the center of Israel's information warfare campaign is a tactical mission to dehumanize Palestinians and to flood the public discourse with a stream of false, unsubstantiated, and unverifiable allegations… But there is a problem with the gut-wrenching narratives that have bolstered the underlying justification for the slaughter of Gaza: They are either complete fabrications or have not been substantiated with a shred of evidence. Many have been thoroughly disproven by major Israeli media outlets… There was no Holocaust survivor killed at Kibbutz Be'eri that day. There were no mass beheadings of babies, no group executions in a nursery, no children hung from clotheslines, and no infants placed in ovens. No pregnant woman had her stomach cut open and the fetus knifed in front of her and her other children. These stories are entirely fictional, a set of audacious lies weaponized to generate the type of collective rage used to justify the unjustifiable… There is no doubt that widespread atrocities and war crimes were committed during the Hamas-led attacks of October 7. It is also true that Israeli military, government, and rescue officials have engaged in a deliberate misinformation campaign about the nature of many deaths that occurred that day…. Israel's hasbara campaign is reminiscent of the Bush administration's monthslong carnival of lies, sanitized and promoted by major media outlets, about alleged weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. And Biden directly participated in President George W. Bush's campaign as well. In his October 2002 Senate floor speech endorsing war against Iraq, Biden declared that Saddam Hussein "possesses chemical and biological weapons and is seeking nuclear weapons."… Israel has painted all actions on October 7 as being committed by Hamas and its fighters. That storyline obviously serves Israel's military and political objectives, but the truth is more complicated… In light of Israel's well-documented campaign of lies and misinformation about other events on October 7, incendiary allegations, such as claims that Hamas engaged in a deliberate campaign of systematic rape, should be viewed with extreme skepticism… As many U.S. media outlets and politicians have promoted and laundered Israel's claims, spreading them far and wide, there have been strong voices among the Israeli public and media that have exhibited skepticism… There is also evidence indicating that Israeli forces responding to the attacks at the Nova music festival, where 364 people died, may have killed Israeli civilians as they attacked Palestinian militants, including with munitions fired from Apache helicopters… The truth is that we do not know how many of their own people Israeli forces killed during the counteroffensive on October 7. Nor do we know what happened in the firefights when armed Israelis, including kibbutz private security and military personnel, sought to defend their settlements… How many Israelis — soldiers and civilians — were killed in the chaos and had their deaths recorded as killed or sadistically burned alive by Hamas? How many Israeli lives were sacrificed under Hannibal-style orders to prevent them from being taken hostage at all costs?… Cynical manipulation of the truth has been a hallmark of Netanyahu's career… The tactic is effective, particularly because the U.S. and other major allies have consistently laundered Israel's unverified allegations as evidence of the righteousness of the cause.

That article repeatedly sources details of its skepticism to blogs and deprecated sources like Electronic Intifada. Drsmoo (talk) 20:55, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find a single reference you alleged. Conversely, I could see a lot of references to reliable, mainstream sources, including Reuters, NPR, Haaretz, Times of Israel, AP News, France24, New York Times, etc. — kashmīrī ^TALK 22:22, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's interesting. For his reference re "valid concern" he sources to a blog. Regarding criticism of the NY Times story, he links to another blog. There are two items sourced to Electronic Intifada. It's interesting that you bring up those reliable sources above, NONE of whom have propagated denial of the atrocities, and in most cases have explicitly confirmed that the atrocities occurred. Haaretz have written two articles about how bad actors have distorted their reporting to promote denialism. Drsmoo (talk) 23:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is Scahill stating that he considers the concerns documented on social media about Shari Mendes' reliability to be valid. Mendes was widely quoted stating that she personally saw a baby cut out of a pregnant woman and both the baby and mother were beheaded, yet it was later confirmed in the Israeli government data that no pregnant woman or unborn baby was killed on October 7. Scahill's judgement thus appears entirely reasonable. Onceinawhile (talk) 23:14, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sources you have linked to, above, Drsmoo, are largely opinion pieces! Pot, kettle, black? Can I also ask you to follow talkpage guidelines and not go back and edit prior comments out of chronological order, as your comment inserting all of those unreliable sources (along with a couple of more reliable ones) did? At best, it's disingenuous. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 22:28, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete: The guideline in question is WP:Notability which requires the presence of extensive secondary, independent and reliable reporting on the topic. So far the only source which has dealt with the topic directly is the Washington Post article but that is far from extensive reporting. Plus, this is a desperate attempt to force making the attacks on 7 October 2023 to be named commonly as the "7 October attacks" in order to connect it to 9/11. If this isn't delete, it should be renamed or merged at the very least. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:28, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep sources in discussion above clearly show this meets GNG. The quantity and quality of the provided sources show this has enough IRS sources for a stand alone article and these sources show that denial and distortion is an ongoing issue, and it is very clear there will be even more sources in the future. I think the delete votes are WP:IDONTLIKEIT.

With all the keep votes with sources, those advocating for a delete need to show why not even two of these sources above and in the article are IRS. The deleters should do a source evaluation table (as is common practice at AfD) listing the sources above and in the article and explaining why they do not meet SIGCOV. All I see is WP:IDONTLIKEIT walls of text.  // Timothy :: talk  19:46, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SYNTH and POVFORK does not mean there are no sources, it means that the sources dont treat this topic as a topic and that the presentation of this (as denialism) is a POVFORK from the articles that cover the issues and include all significant views on them. That may be all you see, but that is plainly not the basis of the delete votes. The Washington Post source, for example, merely says But Oct. 7 denial is spreading, but it doesnt really deal with the topic of denialism of the attacks beyond that. That source is cited 11 times for the record. This source, cited in the article, does not once mention denial or denialism. This source, again cited in the article, does not once mention denialism. The sources in the article do not in fact treat this topic as a topic, and several of them dont even mention the supposed topic at all, much less give it significant coverage. nableezy - 20:52, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge some of the content with 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel. Some of the content may be worth keeping, but in my view not enough to warrant its own article.

  How does it pass either GNG or NROAD? By my reading it passes neither. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 14:43, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, as a state highway. In my reading, the crux of the redirect argument is not that it isn't notable, but that it fails WP:NOPAGE. ^Queenof_Hearts 22:23, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Keep. If the argument against inclusion is that this is notable but we should throw in a vaguewave to NOPAGE to get rid of a good article that we don't like, then that's plainly ridiculous. Notwithstanding a major issue (of which, I do not see here), quality notable articles like this on decently-important topics – which both meet WP:GNG and the relevant WP:SNGs – should be kept. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:27, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @BeanieFan11: how does it meet GNG and the relevant SNG without even a single piece of significant independent coverage? Both standards require it. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 14:46, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  NROAD mentions nothing of a requirement that GNG be met as far as I can tell? I do note that sources may be combined to demonstrate notability (WP:NBASIC); and roads aren't the most talked-about subject; we shouldn't be overly strict with our deletion enforcement on them, especially when their decent quality and pass the SNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:31, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  NROAD says "typically notable" not automatically notable so we do actually need significant coverage in independent sources, it isn't a question of being overly strict... Its a question of being immense leniency to point of IAR. So which sources demonstrate notability? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 21:07, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  What is the point of NROAD stating "typically notable" if it means absolutely nothing, which is what you're suggesting? Additionally, there appears to be overall enough sources to build a decent-sized, policy-compliant article, which is the point of notability. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:17, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  It doesn't mean absolutely nothing it means "typically notable" as in most are notable but some are not. We have requirements about those sources to count towards notability, for example that they be independent. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:34, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  State highways don't get an automatic pass through NROAD, what are you talking about? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 14:44, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I will say here what I said there: sometimes a topic doesn't need to have 70 paragraphs written about it. I have driven on this road; it's pretty nice. But it's not that long. There's nothing wrong with the road, there's nothing wrong with the topic of the road, and there's nothing wrong with our article on the road: it cites reliable sources to inform readers about it. It's also got some detailed historical information that would otherwise be quite difficult to come across (like the fact that was in the original planned route for the highway that later became 94, or the fact that parcels in its right-of-way were deeded by Henry Ford in 1933). Lest somebody say "You're saying it's useful, which means you're wrong, and if it's useful that actually means it should be deleted", this is why I don't think it should be crammed into a list, there's too much content and too much information to be made a list entry without bloating out the list. I really don't see a reason to get rid of this other than not liking it or thinking it's stupid. Wikipedia is not a comedy forum where we make lists of things we think are dumb, it's an encylopedia, so if something is an encylopedia article it belongs here. jp×g🗯️ 21:31, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So the argument is WP:IAR? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 14:47, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, the argument is the extremely large number of policies that govern notability and content on Wikipedia, all of which this article complies with. Do you have an explanation for how this doesn't meet GNG? Do you have a reason why the fifteen sources on the page are all bad? jp×g🗯️ 04:04, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It lacks significant coverage in reliable sources, hence failing both the GNG and the SNG. None of the 15 sources on the page contain significant coverage in a reliable source. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:34, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep This isn't detailed enough for a GA, but there is just enough information in the history section to show the article can have insights and explanations that go beyond what can be glanced at from a map. (Note, I suggested a redirect in the GAR, but there are a few threads of potential, such as an explanation for the name changes, and its relevance for the Michigan State Spartans football). Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 08:31, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete we don't have any significant coverage in independent sources and in order to keep it under either GNG or NROAD we would need multiple. If there are sources beyond the ones on the page which contribute to notability can someone name them? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 14:43, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Merging is not a realistic option when the target is a list that has to also cover 300 other highways in the state. The existing sources in the article are sufficient and don't run afoul of GNG nor our other policies on sourcing as it stands. SounderBruce 04:02, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep- This isn't like a parish council election in England, the district elections were covered in the national press because of their importance. For example, the analysis of the results was in The Scotsman. Unfortunately, the British Newspaper Archive doesn't have any papers from Sutherland in the 1970s to further establish notability but it would be the same level of coverage you would expect for any of the current unitary authorities. For comparison with the most recent local elections in the UK, this district council is on a par with the 152 district councils at 2023 United Kingdom local elections#District councils, all of which have their own article (I know WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not an argument to keep an article but the implication here is that all of those plus every other district council election in the UK are not notable and a simple WP:BEFORE will show that's not the case). Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 22:35, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Under the two tier local government structure in Scotland 1975-1996 district councils were one of two primary local authorities in Scotland (the other being the regional councils) and had significant responsibilities. However, the issue is it is going to be difficult to get coverage of elections to some of the smaller districts, particularly in rural areas where independents dominated and a lot of seats were uncontested. While I would lean towards Keep, I can see why it is going to be difficult to create an article that actually has much to say about the contest. Dunarc (talk) 23:54, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The other two appear to be PR. They don't have bylines. Its seems to the founder of the organisation, "Sheikha Sheikha bint Mohammed bin Khalid Al Nahyan" doing some PR for the organisation on a successful completion on the 13th year and so are not independent source.

A tragic event sure, but not a notable one. Not the first child to discover drugs and die from them, nor the last. While yes it got a bit of national coverage, it was a flash in the pan tragic news story with no long reaching consequences outside of the immediate family. Can't seem to find any section in WP:BIO that would explain a notability that this would pass. Additionally, was created by a prolific sock-puppeter thought that is secondary to the notability issue.

An article that appears to be mostly WP:OR and WP:SYNTH about a topic that, as far as I can see, does not pass the WP:GNG to begin with. Essentially, someone noticed that several different pieces of fiction used the same generic name for a fake movie studio company. However, this is not a cohesive topic - none of the examples are actually related to one another. There are no reliable sources in the article, as the only sources included are a couple of the pieces of media themselves. Searches did not turn up anything showing that the phenomenon of the same fake name being used multiple times is a subject that has had significant coverage in reliable sources.

An autobiography. Meets neither general Wikipedia:Notability (people) guidelines, nor the specifics laid out in Wikipedia:Notability (academics). None of the sources cited are both independent of the subject, and discussing him in the required depth. Source (1) is a standard brief university teaching staff bio. Source (2,4) is Written by the subject. Source (3) is a link to a page which makes no mention of him, and which wouldn't be independent if it did. The remaining sources (5-8) are papers authored by the subject. An online search finds nothing obvious to suggest that further sources could be found to meet our requirements.

  The new source does nothing further towards meeting our notability requirements. We need in depth independent coverage of the individual, not the individual himself discussing a project he is working on. AndyTheGrump (talk) 01:31, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I am a new user but I understand what editors such as AndyTheGrump means. I have edited the article massively on seeing that the page deserves being there looking at the research portfolio and community engagement of the subject but requires massive revisions. I have done quite a bit and needs more to be done. Fekudinesh (talk) 06:44, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I am new for Wikipedia for creating contents. I have also done a bit of editing on this subject if it helps. Dinpandey (talk) 06:47, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  No, it doesn't help. I would strongly advise new contributors to take the time to read Wikipedia:Notability (people), and Wikipedia:Notability (academics) in particular, along with Wikipedia:Reliable sources before tinkering around with the article. None of the edits made have done anything to address the issues raised. We aren't interested in citations to papers Pangeni has contributed to. We aren't interested in short bios from employers, or from organisations he has worked with. We aren't interested in articles about organisations he has worked for. The only material that is relevant when establishing notability per Wikipedia standards is going to come from published reliable sources unconnected to Pangeni, and discussing him in depth. AndyTheGrump (talk) 07:53, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Oh yeah, I am going to create a bunch of new accounts and vote to keep the article. I am sure no one has ever thought of it before, so Wikipedia won't know what hit 'em. Usedtobecool ☎️ 08:20, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong keep. I am puzzled by this nomination, as this is not really an obscure figure and a quick search should give several interesting hits. In English we have this short entry from the House of Austrian History [de] on the "Jansa Plan", Austria's pre-Anschluss defensive strategy in case of a German invasion. Also focused on defense against Germany we have this MA thesis from McGill University, which also devotes a lot of space to Jansa. Minor coverage of Jansa's postwar role can be found here. Unfortunately my knowledge of German (or the lack of it, to be more precise) does not allow me to dig too deep, but there definitely are sources available in that language. These are his memoirs, preceded by a 16 page introduction by the editor, Peter Broucek [de], which definitely counts and should be useful. A doctoral dissertation about him was written in 1990 at the University of Vienna: Johann Hafner, "Feldmarschalleutnant Alfred Jansa Edler von Tannenau". There's also a short bio by Ludwig Jedlicka [de]: "Alfred Jansa 1884-1963", in Neue Österreichische Biographie, volume XIX, 1976, pp. 77-87. A section of this history of the Austrian general staff is also devoted to Jansa. Here is an article on the Jansa Plan in Die Presse. I am sure someone who is fluent in German can come up with a lot more. Ostalgia (talk) 17:56, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
