Not nearly enough in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources to pass GNG, and doesn't meet NSPORTS. Onel5969 23:13, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Reporting that consists solely of sports results and an article about the state of Turkish wrestling do not constitute significant coverage of this particular individual. Papaursa (talk) 23:52, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
It does, if the individual is a major part of the articles.

This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

Coverage is exclusively routine and offers nothing in any depth (or even anything more than 4-5 brief sentences reporting match results). Fails GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 05:20, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

  • Keep. I don't really like these source assessment tables. Just because something is presented more elaborately, it doesn't make it true. The only point that the table makes is that the coverage of this person in RS is WP:ROUTINE, but there is no actual argument to back up this assertion - no, providing quotes doesn't make this an argument and just the fact that scores are reported doesn't mean that this is routine coverage. In fact, I would say that the coverage is explicitly non-routine e.g. looking at Milliyet's coverage of the World Junior Wrestling Championships, we see that they do not routinely report on this event, but only choose to report when there is a notable accomplishment by a Turkish national. The coverage is not there because Milliyet routinely reports on this tournament, it is there because Aktürk had a newsworthy accomplishment. This is the case for all the other news articles, and it is possible to weave together a decent, well-sourced biography using these sources. Remember that WP:ROUTINE covers "Planned coverage of scheduled events, especially when those involved in the event are also promoting it" - I don't see evidence of such planned coverage here. I also fail to see how these articles don't meet WP:SIGCOV - there is clearly no need for original research to extract information about the individual, and there is definitely more than a trivial mention of the person in these articles; his accomplishments are the main focus. I am also easily able to find other sources e.g. - note that Aktürk won the Kırkpınar Wrestling Tournanment (which has been held for over 600 years) and earned the title of başpehlivan, which is the most prestigious title in Turkish wrestling. I know this isn't in NSPORTS (although I don't truly see a difference from e.g. College Football Hall of Fame), but it does indicate that further sources are highly likely to be found. --GGT (talk) 14:08, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
    I appreciate your giving such a thorough response. The quoted text in the table constitutes the entirety of the text on Akturk in a source, not just a snippet of it, and in most of the articles his performance is mentioned alongside that of all other Turkish competitors. SIGCOV is not achieved with three-sentence tournament recaps, and certainly not with the single sentence on him in Millyet (this is especially true for media coverage of youth athletics, which have stricter notability requirements). The Haberturk article you linked is syndicated ("All Çanakkale news, which is covered by Anadolu Agency, DHA, İHA, is included in this section as it comes automatically from the agency channels, without any editorial intervention by Haberturk.com editors") from the same İHA source as the penultimate two sources in the table. It is local routine signing coverage, and the lack of a byline additionally suggests it is a press release (other AA/İHA articles name the author). Syndicated articles are not intellectually independent of each other; a local paper changing the original news agency headline to highlight a local athlete's performance doesn't suddenly make the coverage non-routine or make him the main focus of an article. JoelleJay (talk) 22:33, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
    Thank you for a detailed reply. The bottom line regarding SIGCOV is that there is no need for original research to extract the content from the article and that it is a non-trivial mention. WP:SIGCOV explicitly states that we are not looking for him to be the main focus of the article - we're definitely not expecting a biographical treatise, and there is no arbitrary cutoff for the number of sentences needed to count as SIGCOV. Of course I'm not denying the brevity of the coverage in each individual source, but there is enough of it across various sources to weave together a good biography without any original research, entirely based upon reliable and independent sources - and that's all we need to clear GNG. Sports articles by Turkish news agencies do not regularly feature author names, so I disagree that this suggests that it is a press release in this instance; on the other hand, it does indicate a judgement of newsworthiness by a national news agency. Local wrestling signups aren't usually picked up by national news agencies as far as I can tell. I should finally note that I'm not too comfortable with the liberal use of copyrighted quotes in this discussion. They're not necessary to make the point and the amount quoted for some articles constitutes a rather significant part of the original work. I'm not convinced that these quotes can be regarded as fair use, so I suggest that you remove them. --GGT (talk) 00:42, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
    So, I realize there is a lot of interpretation as to what SIGCOV means, and I think it's helpful to look at it in the context of the NSPORT guidelines as well as the consensus across other athlete AfDs. Firstly, it is extremely difficult for youth competitors to meet NSPORT, particularly because achievements at the youth level are almost never considered encyclopedic (else we would have articles on every Little League World Series player right off the bat sorry). Nothing beyond brief mentions of his final results would be WP:DUE in an article on Akturk, not that there was much more info on him in any of the news reports anyway. And, per WP:YOUNGATH, NONE of those sources could contribute to notability: High school and pre-high school athletes are notable only if they have received, as individuals, substantial and prolonged coverage that is: (1) independent of the subject; and (2) clearly goes beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage... The second clause... especially excludes using game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews as sources to establish notability (emphasis mine).
    Secondly, there are millions of people who do not meet any sport-specific notability guideline (SSG) but DO appear in a tremendous number of signing/transfer/draft/injury articles. If this was sufficient for SIGCOV the criterion for meeting basically every SSG would be "college athlete, or varsity HS athlete at a highly-ranked institution". But the community has come to the consensus that such material is not SIGCOV, and that is why sports scores (which is exactly what the first 5 sources are; they are strictly relaying the match outcomes announced to press agencies by the Turkish Wrestling Federation) are explicitly mentioned in WP:ROUTINE.
    Regarding the AA agency link you provided, both the article and its picture are bylined: Suha Gur and Serhat Çağdaş, respectively. National news agencies have local chapters where material of local interest is reported, often directly from PR groups ; the IHA article on Akturk meeting a mayor is specifically curated in "Local News -- Canakkale", alongside an announcement that the president of a regional amateur sports league was reelected as its chairman and a report of someone being detained for growing marijuana (with a picture of the seized goods and adorable "ensitive-nosed drug-seeking dog 'Roket'").

The result was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. I contemplated relisting this, but am comfortable closing this as soft since it's the article's creator requesting review, and there are no substantive additions from other editors.

Reason Telefocus (talk) 22:25, 1 February 2022 (UTC) Article is not noteworthy.

  • Comment without taking a position on this particular article, this is not a valid procedural keep rationale, per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. It's possible that if this one IS agreed on for deletion that this could be the test case for nuking the other 454. PianoDan (talk) 17:02, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
  • I disagree with you, since the nominator has not stated the intent of it being a test nomination. The notion that other users should infer what the nominator "possibly" has meant, is not valid. Geschichte (talk) 09:08, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

  • Lean Keep (in between Weak Keep and Keep) - there were some other visits, like the MFA of Uruguay to Hanoi in 2010, the visit of the deputy PM of Vietnam to Montevideo , a 2014 scientific agreement , a trade and investment agreement in 2016 , so I think an encyclopedic version of it all could have its place in the encyclopedia. I think that should be enough for a start-class article. There was also a study that I read while browsing that covered Latin America-Vietnam relations and had two paragraphs about the Vietnam-Uruguay relation, but I can't seem to find it at the moment. Not seeing presidential visits, though, and that's why I'm only lean keep. On the economic front, we're well over the keep mark, though. Pilaz (talk) 18:26, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Delete - it is also so poorly written from a grammatical perspective that it's an embarrassment and detraction to Misplaced Pages. Ira Leviton (talk) 02:23, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Keep - Because the grammatical perspective were fixed and furthermore English is not our native language! We're all here to give our contributions best on our little knowledge.

No indication in the article or in searches that this article passes WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG. All references are lacking in either significance, independence, or reliability. Also violates WP:NOTRESUME. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 21:30, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

  • Weak keep So I came across this article in the references section of Hassan Al-Turabi's article. I think it helps show that it's a good source for the article, but other than that, I can't think of any other reason why he'd count as notable. However, I posted on the talk page and noticeboard specifically without mentioning article deletion since I disagree with Misplaced Pages's notability guidelines in general, but if it violates them, then there's not much else to do other than removal.

The result was keep. (I suspect this is a SNOW keep.) This is a strange keep, given that it comes from the person who completed the nomination (noticing a redlink on February 1's AfD listing and a tag on the associated page), but it is abundantly clear that the subject passes NPROF and the GNG, and further sourcing was fairly easy to come across. Additionally, the comments made by the Yale IP indicate that the underlying deletion nomination was intended as a BLPREQUESTDELETE that, given the circumstances, is being done in bad faith, and given the references, is being requested by a public enough figure (or someone with a connection to him) that the subsection is not applicable. There is a worthy discussion on how much the negative elements with the available sources can/should be discussed while meeting our various BLP policies and guidelines, but that is for the talk page, not Articles for deletion. I will be starting a section header at the talk page and pinging the participants in this deletion discussion there for further handling of the matter.

Completing a nomination for IP nominator 130.132.173.30. No reason was given, but this editor then removed a section with the edit summary Contentious material about the living person named in this article is poorly sourced (blog) and libellous. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 16:33, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

  • Some background: The "contentious material" section covered a sexual harassment allegation from 2017. See the removal diff. The main source cited in the paragraph is the Yale Daily News. The case was approved to go to trial in April 2020 () and it got written up in Law.com at the time the allegations surfaced in 2017 (). Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 17:04, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Further, the IP geolocates to Yale University, where the subject taught. The IP left a comment at User talk:GB fan reading, You are a previous editor of the Roberto González Echevarría page. González Echevarría would like the entire page removed from this cite. Would you be able to do that? Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 17:06, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment Although the Yale Daily News url has "blog" as part of it, all the stories on the front page appear to direct to similar urls, and these otherwise appear to be normal Yale Daily News pieces. I think they are as reliable as student newspaper sources usually are. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 17:39, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
    That is my assessment as well, likely a CMS item. The more I look at this, the more I see this as not a matter for AfD. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 17:50, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:NPROF criterion 5. Regarding whether to include the allegations, that's beyond the scope of this AfD, but as this is where attention is, I'll weigh in. It's tricky. WP:BLPCRIME states that for non-public figures (which would include a professor) editors must seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed, or is accused of having committed, a crime, unless a conviction has been secured. Weighing against that is the fact that the allegations appear strongly substantiated, that the Yale Daily News is one of the most respected student newspapers in the U.S. and therefore very much a reliable source for Yale-related topics per WP:RSSM, and that it appears likely someone with a conflict of interest is trying to tamper with the article (which would nullify WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE considerations for me). I'd be alright seeing this go either way, but at the very least, we can include in the article the aspects that aren't strictly legal. I've done that here. (As disclosure, I came to this AfD through a generally neutral but conversational invitation on WP:DISCORD.) {{u|Sdkb}}19:57, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep. Although I give some consideration to WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE, I think that the notability here is unambiguous: he passes WP:NPROF C5, also WP:NPROF C3 multiple times over, and the citation record (in a low-citation field) looks like a pass of WP:NPROF C1. He's fairly widely quoted on Cuba-related issues. A casual search of JSTOR turns up lots of reviews for WP:NAUTHOR. Comment that basic personal details can probably be sourced to a Yale Alumni Magazine piece . Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:08, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
He seems to be notable under the GNG from the articles revealed by Google News, which goes beyond NPROF. The Miami Herald feature plus the consistent coverage by RS going to him for quotes on his field of expertise is more than the usual academic. It might even make him a WP:PUBLICFIGURE.

  • Merge to Works based on Alice in Wonderland#Games - BGG is generally not considered a reliable source due to being user generated, and the two other sources are fairly weak in actual information on the game - the Indiana University page, for example, really only has a couple of sentences of actual coverage of the game itself. Its really not enough to sustain an independent article, but should certainly be included in the main article on works based on Alice. Rorshacma (talk) 19:27, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete sourcing comes entirely from the event organizers, no independent coverage at all. Anton.bersh (talk) 02:04, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment It isn't clear to me that the sourcing all comes from the event organizers. The references are PDFs that seem to have been downloaded to the IIT Gandhinagar system - perhaps through the library? Some of the articles, like this one state that they are from The Times of India Ahmedabad. That said, I have no idea whether local editions of the Times of India are considered RS. It's also a shame not have to have the original citation in the article (with effort, that perhaps could be done). I do think it would be a good idea to remove unreferenced info, reducing the article to only the facts that can be sourced. Lamona (talk) 03:58, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
    I do not think the article you linked to provide any useful coverage. For one, it quotes the whole paragraphs from a certain lecture, so it would hardly be considered independent. Secondly, I don't see any coverage of the event in general, just one particular lecture. Anton.bersh (talk) 19:04, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep I usually vote Delete on techfests but this one was actually covered by quite a number of reliable sources, including several articles in TOI and DNA. Don't get me wrong, it needs a lot of copy-editing, it is promotional and full of trivialities, most of the facts aren't sourced and the ones that are deserve better citation etc. However, notability-wise I think it has decent coverage to remain a short article and I don't think Blow it up and start over is the right solution in this case. --Muhandes (talk) 11:06, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
    Could you please specify which sources you consider reliable independent and in-depth? Anton.bersh (talk) 18:58, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
    This and this are for sure reliable secondary sources. Together with the rest I think they provide enough coverage to establish notability for a short article. --Muhandes (talk) 08:19, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
  • delete after looking over the references that have been provided I'm of the opinion that there is only extremely trivial, indirect coverage of this tech summit. Like the one from The Times Of India is literally one paragraph in an article about something else that doesn't even discuss the summit because it's about "The Speech Jammer", whatever that is. Whereas, the "DNA article" appears to be a self published promotional puff piece. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:38, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

If this article is deleted then it is likely that content will be inappropriately added to articles like George Floyd protests in Portland, Oregon. Keeping this article provides a home for this content, rather than having it added elsewhere. Because of the current high profile of police involved shootings in the USA, it is likely that more article like this are going to be created by contributors.

    • Putting aside whether or not the 'significant coverage' that the event received qualifies as SIGCOV (the sources are reliable but not secondary), I would suggest you look at WP:EVENTCRITERIA. Particularly this paragraph: "Editors should bear in mind recentism, the tendency for new and current matters to seem more important than they might seem in a few years time. Many events receive coverage in the news and yet are not of historic or lasting importance. News organizations have criteria for content, i.e. news values, that differ from the criteria used by Misplaced Pages and encyclopedias. A violent crime, accidental death, or other media events may be interesting enough to reporters and news editors to justify coverage, but this will not always translate into sufficient notability for a Misplaced Pages article." Star Garnet (talk) 22:58, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep. A murder with rape of an old person in their own home by a sex offender they did not know is not "a routine murder".

  • Keep/Comment I already opined above, so don't double count this, but I also waivered, so restating for clarity. Also noting that specific feedback was sought on here goes. I see that NOTNEWS gives four things to avoid. 1 - Original reporting. This is not original reporting, everything is cited. 2 It warns against creating articles for routine news of "announcements, sports or celebrities", my anlysis is that trivial content should be avoided. I don't think this article makes that mistake. 3 NOTNEWS tells us to make it about an event, not a person, as this article does. 4 NOTNEWS tells us to avoid celebrity gossip or diary type stuff. This article is not that. To me, this article clearly does not make any of the mistakes that NOTNEWS warns to avoid. And it meets the GNG. I'd also say that this event was covered in The National, the BBC, Sky News and the Glasgow Times. The quality of the Glasgow Times I am uncertain of, but the others are credible news sources with their own employed journalists and editors, the suggestion that some newspapers in some places just copy each other's content is not credible, in this context, to me. This article meets the GNG and none of the comments above, which I've considered carefully, convince me otherwise. CT55555 (talk) 02:47, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
Comment WP:NOTNEWS also states, Misplaced Pages considers the enduring notability of persons and events, and per WP:N, Misplaced Pages's concept of notability applies this basic standard to avoid indiscriminate inclusion of topics, which per the GNG, should include WP:SECONDARY sources to provide the most objective evidence of notability, which would distinguish this article from a brief burst of news articles about a tragic event. Per WP:SBST, Even a large number of news reports that provide no critical analysis of the event is not considered significant coverage, and this is why this 12-sentence article does not appear to meet the GNG. Similarly, the WP:EVENT guideline states in the nutshell section, An event is presumed to be notable if it has lasting major consequences or affects a major geographical scope, or receives significant non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time, and this criteria also does not appear to be supported by the available sources at this time. Beccaynr (talk) 04:43, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
I already commented earlier, so really tried to avoid repeating my points and focus on the specific point that the admin? wanted input ons, but now you have brought other points up, so I'll comment on them: On notability, every source cited is secondary, they are journalists commenting on events that they were not involved. On WP:SBST, this is not "routine" nor a "press release" and while one source was tabloid, neither the National nor BBC are tabloid. There is one aspect of WP:SBST that I'll acknowledge doesn't support my argument to keep, and that is the need for there to be analysis, the sources do all tend to say what happened without analysis, so I'll concede that point. But I don't think the length of the article is a point to argue on, there's plenty that can be added to it and AfD is not the correct process if we think the article is too short, the correct response to that is to work on the article (I did add a bit to it some days ago, I might do more later). The question of if reporting on the event will continue with time - it's a bit early to tell, we can speculate, it could be argued either way. As someone said above, the brutal rape and murder of an older person by a stranger is an exceptionally uncommon event and it's reasonable to assume that public commentary will be sustainable, but we could speculate either way, Misplaced Pages does have articles about recent events, so that is no reason to delete. So in summary, I see the things you are pointing to, I accept some validity to the lack of analysis and I acknowledge the unknown about the sustainability of interest. And I remain in my opinion to keep. (I got an edit conflict, as I posted this, so replying to the first version) CT55555 (talk) 05:03, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
Where this clearly runs afoul of NOTNEWS is part 2. This is simply a series of news reports strung together. This isn't the fault of the article; there's nothing but news reports to draw from. There are no SIGCOV-passing sources. 95%+ of media coverage (reports, interviews, human interest stories, breaking news, editorials, investigative reports, etc.) is not SIGCOV-passing coverage, and does not contribute meaningfully to GNG-worthiness. In this case, it's straight reporting of facts, with negligible analysis. The set of events isn't generic, but murder and/or rape of older people is hardly groundbreaking, and it isn't noted as being so. There's nothing to suggest that this event will have a meaningful impact on larger events, which is the essense of notability as it relates to societal topics. Star Garnet (talk) 05:33, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
I respect the point you are making, even if I don't share your conclusion. I won't add more, as it would be repetitive. I'm confident the closing admin will give both our different conclusions fair consideration, along with hopefully more perspectives. All the best to you. CT55555 (talk) 05:40, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Only thing that has happened since previous AFD is some ref-bombing with WP:ROUTINE sources. If no one is interested in this subject, let alone write an actually meaningful article about him, there is no encyclopedic value in an article about him. Tvx1 16:40, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

  • Not going to withdraw this. The claim that this subject is notable is a joke. Cleary no-one is interested in this person, or else a meaninful article would have been written a long time ago. There is nothing that proves the encyclopedic value of this article.Tvx1 23:34, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
    "else a meaninful article would have been written a long time ago"... well, it sometimes takes a while, and non-inclusion is not an indicator for non-notability (else we couldn't write any new articles anymore; in the last year alone, I created articles on people including Max Wallraf and Emil Utitz, who are clearly worthy of inclusion despite having had no articles). It is clear that a sports biography can be written about Heuberger (successfully lead his hometown club to the Handball-Bundesliga, managed the national team, did something else, now manages junior national team). Easy to find more sources: , , . —Kusma (talk) 09:35, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
  • This article has existed like this for ten years. Five years since the last AFD. That’s more than enough to make “it takes a while” a ridiculous excuse. Clearly no one is interested in this person thus justifying a standalone article. Accept reality and stop filling Wikpedia with rubbish articles.Tvx1 06:31, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
    @LeFnake and @Malo95 have now expanded the article, which is much more helpful than us all arguing here about what potential the article has. It still isn't great, but at least now lists some of the person's sporting achievements. @Tvx1: please tell me which of my Misplaced Pages articles is rubbish and why, and I'll try to fix it. Most of my rubbish articles are 15 years old now. —Kusma (talk) 20:25, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Expanded with nothing but WP:ROUTINE information. Nothing that actually establishes notability. Let me ask you a question? What are you obessed with blocking deletion of this article? Why is this person so important to you? Why would it be such a drama for you if this were deleted?Tvx1 00:26, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
    I am not interested in this person at all (I don't care about handball). I came across this deletion discussion because I look at all Germany-related AfDs. I care about improving Misplaced Pages, and so I argue to keep or to delete as needed. Sometimes others agree with me, sometimes they don't. But my personal approach isn't the issue here. The Deutschlandfunk Kultur and Handball World sources are significant coverage. There are enough sources interested in the person, not just mentioning him. —Kusma (talk) 03:47, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
  • You came up with the exact same nonsensical arguments five years ago. Literally no one was interested then and is now to expand this, because there simply isn’t anything to expand this with and because no-one is interested in this subject. I really don’t understand why you are so hell-bent on keeping an article that has no encyclopaedic value whatsoever. Moreover, when you claim something is notable, you need to prove that. Something isn’t notable just because you say so.Tvx1 06:38, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Why are you commenting on every single voter who does not share the same feeling as you do? Just let the AfD run out and see how it went (pretty clear right now, tbh). Kante4 (talk) 15:16, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
No, he did not just played matches in a sport, he played 164 professional matches in 1st handball League (Bundesliga), 26 international matches with Germany (one of the best national team) and has been Germany's coach for 3 years, heading two major competitions (7th at 2012 European Championship and 5th at 2013 World Championship).--LeFnake (talk) 07:38, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Handball. Just being a coach of a team in a sport doesn’t make you notable. Not every sport is fundamentally notable. What we need is significant coverage, which no one so far has been able to provide. You only give a personal feeling about notability.Tvx1 16:28, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
    Significant coverage is already provided. It looks for me that your personal feelings are in play here. Here an other example of a source which provides a complete interview of him and the women's coach (part 1 and part 2). It is a interview in one of the most prestigious magazine in the world. And here an other article. I really don't know what you want more. 🤾‍♂️ Malo95 (talk) 17:20, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
    Interviews are not considered acceptable for notability purposes unless they include SIGCOV by the interviewer (otherwise they are WP:PRIMARY and not independent); that one clearly does not. The second source is better, since, despite having a lot of quotes, there appears to be independent analysis by the reporter. JoelleJay (talk) 18:30, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
I found more articles about him from the ARD (National public-service broadcaster)
  • Start as national team coach:, &
  • End as national team coach: , and (This would be a news broadcast in the tv, but in the archive not able to play)
The second big national broadcaster ZDF has also an article about the end:
This two broadcaster talked for sure in there sports program about the start and the end of Heuberger. They also showed handball games which he gave interviews etc. And these games watched several millions of people. I really don't know how you have the feelling that he is not notable. If he wouldn't be notable most coaches of all team sports wouldn't be notable as well.🤾‍♂️ Malo95 (talk) 11:06, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep, the only "bombing" taking place here is the WP:IDONTLIKEIT WP:BLUDGEONing in this discussion. For context, Germany is one of the few countries in the world which actually has fully professional handball, with good attendances, media coverage etc, which, more importantly, has been demonstrated in this discussion. The article/subject is a bit beyond the need for debating certain details of this or that source, which is an editorial question belonging to the article's talk page.

Does not appear to meet WP:BASIC. No WP:SIGCOV on her career. – DarkGlow16:37, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

I believe her obituary in the New York Times is WP:SIGCOV, and it's certainly a reliable source. Her work in establishing the Bronx Day Nursery is covered in a 1927 book on the Bronx . The other citations confirm her role as principal of schools. I cannot find a citation for the school's first graduation, nor that she watched the construction of the school so I left {{citation needed}} in two places. DaffodilOcean (talk) 12:34, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
I think you are not weighing the fact she was local to the New York Times coverage area.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:51, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
There is nothing in WP:GNG about locality of sourcing. That is a made-up requirement by people who want GNG to be based on significance when really it is based only on coverage. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:38, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
Well, some local coverge clearly runs into problems of violating not news guidelines. We really should add better guidelines on local coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:21, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Even if you accept the argument that the NYT is more likely to publish obituaries about people from NY, it would still be equivalent to a state-wide newspaper, so providing SIGCOV. In addition with the paragraph in the 1927 book, that should just about establish notability. Femke (talk) 18:46, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep I'm finding more about her in Google Books, in particular this delightful (?) lengthy testimony before a US Committee on Communist Propaganda, in which she gives details about a small number of students taking May 1 off, which was apparently a sign of dangerous communist ideas, and of pamphlets found in the neighborhood. Being called on to testify before a congressional committee shows her stature. She is also credited with running an experiment on the teaching of shorthand and praised by the Classical Journal for introducing the study of Greek in the schools. These all show that she was a significant educator. There are regular bulletins of the NY education department that we may be able to use to fill in some of the factual details and other hits on G-Books that I haven't gotten to.

This is an article on an actress who spend all her career in uncredited roles, with one exception. The exception is 4-minutes of standing in in a film for the lead actress who died during production. However they had someone else dub in the voice, so she was just a physical stand in. Our sourcing boils down to a "home town women makes big" coverage article that is predicting this will lead to true stardom, but that does not happen, another paper covering the incident because it is a rarity that someone dies during filming and you need to film them afterward, her papers having been archived, and a primary source on her birth. She clearly fails the acress notability guideline, because even if her one role was significant, that requires multiple roles, and all her other roles were so far from being significant they were not credited at all (it is not even clear she was credited for her stand-in). So I see no way that this article meets our inclusion criteria, and no way that our sourcing is enough in-depth to meet GNG. John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:05, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a cricket player, not making or reliably sourcing any claim to passage of our inclusion standards for cricket players. The only notability claim being made here is that he exists, and the article fails to say anything about him that could even be measured against WP:NCRICKET, such as what league he played for Maharashtra in. And while there is an external link to a paywalled subscription-only database of cricket statistics, that means I can't get into it to see whether it adds a meaningful notability claim or not -- but there are no footnotes being cited at all to verify anything any other way.
So I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who can access CricketArchive, and/or some evidence of Indian sports media coverage, can actually add something to this article that would constitute a notability claim -- but we don't keep unsourced articles just because there might maybe possibly be a stronger notability claim than anybody has been arsed to actually include in the article, we keep unsourced articles only if somebody can prove it.

Unable to find significant coverage of the subject of this largely unsourced WP:BLP, with a WP:BEFORE search only seeming to return WP:ROUTINE coverage, passing mentions, or sources which do not appear to be independent of the subject.

  • Neutral – After looking at MSport1005's comments clearly there aren't zero sources.

  • Keep — I don't speak Romanian, but I could find these with ease: , , , , covering his "promising" career and his future aspirations, apparently covering an incident with the police, is more of a passing mention as a young up-and-coming Romanian talent, , two visibly non-ROUTINE announcements, and , , , which suggest some sort of relevance as an F1 pundit/expert in his country. Funnily enough, he was the subject of an F1-related april fools joke: , and even the gossip press talks about him nowadays , . I might have a second look later to see if I can find more, but just based off this (combined with the fact that he completed a full GP3 season) he seems to comfortably meet GNG.

Looking at MSport1005's sources, bits in Adevarul / (per WP:GNG they count as one source) are good examples of secondary non-trivial coverage. Automarket seems good enough, but I am not sure whether that website is a reliable source. Fanatik one is an interview, and thus isn't independent to count for notability. Realitea Sportiva one just copies Fanatik's interview. Cancan is a tabloid website, making it not reliable. Evenimentul Zilei bit has only 3 sentences (2 of those being short) about him, so I can't call that WP:SIGCOV. SportAuto is a quote farm (meaning it's not independent), and MotorsportNews is a mere blog. Gazeta Sporturilor contains his analysis of Hamilton-Verstappen battle, but is of very little importance in terms of his own notability. TVS24 is yet another blog, Cancun again, WP:TRIVIA April Fools, WowBiz isn't a significant coverage of Doru. I'll try to dig for more sources if possible (including my research on Automarket), but for now I'm leaning delete. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 17:08, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
Alright, I've had another look at them. #1/#5 and #2 are SIGCOV (Automarket indeed is reliable). #4 as you say is just a copy, #7 and #8 aren't sufficiently extense. The ones you wrote off as blogs (#9, #11, #13) I'm not sure they actually are, as messy as they might look (their reliability might need review though). The fact that a newspaper like Fanatik (#3) went to interview him, tabloids (#6, #15) talk about him without even needing to introduce him, and GSP (#10, #12) have him as their go-to expert suggest clear notability within Romania. #14 I never intended it as SIGCOV, and #16 is a tabloid and refers to him as "Dumitru's son" so we can ommit those two. We're left with potentially 6/7 proper sources, plus whatever we can find in an advanced WP:BEFORE search, so I'm heavily inclined towards keep. MSport1005 (talk) 20:17, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your input. It appears that you have found some sources which I was unable to find in my searches. I'm still not fully convinced that this meets the WP:GNG, but the Adevarul sources probably take the article half-way to meeting it. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 10:15, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

TerraDrive Live (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This niche RPG seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:BEFORE is of little help (the only indepedent sigcov surce I see is the cited ArsTechnica piece ). It seems this was a 2007 era attempt to promote an upcoming product - the article hasn't improved much since and still states "It is scheduled for release at PAX: The Penny Arcade Exposition on August 26, 2007." This is also a near fork of a related game TerraDrive Live which seems even more niche (google just gives about ~200 ghits for this...). We also had an article about the developer, that was deleted a long while ago it seems (Technomancer Press). PS. I am not sure how to make a bundle AFD (since TD Live is de facto a fork). If this is deleted, I guess TDLive can be prodded? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:24, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Issues with notability Signed, Pichemist 10:26, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

He copies and pastes almost the same message into every AfD related to secondary schools in the western world, universities, really spin the wheel, and never provides the references he claims exists either. Even though there are supposedly easily enough of them to satisfy WP:GNG. Most of the time the his "votes" are ignored by whoever closes the AfD. So it's not a super big deal, but it is a bit pedantic if not borderline disruptive. I'm hoping someone will report him to ANI for it eventually, but it's better to just to ignore him in the meantime, WP:DFTT. --Adamant1 (talk) 00:35, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
No, I'm afraid I don't copy and paste. And stop the suggestions that editors whose opinions differ from your own should be reported to ANI, which is arrogant in the extreme. As I have said before, Misplaced Pages is becoming a deeply unpleasant place. Try not to contribute to it. And, incidentally, how dare you suggest that I am a vandal or a troll per WP:DFTT! This is a clear breach of WP:NPA and WP:AGF. I would suggest you take a look at my contributions to this project. A vandal or troll I most certainly am not. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:49, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
I could quote at least a dozen times in the last couple of months where you've said almost the exact same thing in your "votes." I'm not going to bother though because they are pretty easy to find. In the meantime maybe you can tell me how the essay on your user page is a presumption of good faith, contributes to a pleasant environment, and doesn't come off as extremely arrogant. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:58, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
That's not copying and pasting. That's saying the same thing because that's my opinion, as I am entitled to do without being accused of being a vandal or a troll or it being suggested that I should be "reported" for daring to express an opinion that is different from yours. The essay on my userpage reflects how I feel about those who come here to delete rather than expand and the unpleasantness that results if they are challenged, and I stand by it. I have been here a long time; I have seen how AfD discussion has got nastier year on year and how those who want to delete react when their views are opposed. And I am not directing an attack at anyone in particular. You clearly are. Kindly desist and do not accuse me of things that are patently untrue. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:36, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
I'm not sure how you equated me saying I hope someone reports you eventually for repeatedly making un-constructive comments in AfDs into me suggesting you should be reported for "daring to have opinions that are different then mine" but whatever. I could literally give a crap if you have different opinions then me. That's not my issue. Outside of that, it's kind of weird that on the one hand your being so adamant that I should respect your opinions and feelings, while on the other your insulting me over mine by calling me arrogant and making such a brew haha over this. Why not just respect my opinions and feelings about it instead of insulting me? If your so concerned with AfDs being civil, then don't call people names or make a massive issue out of nothing like your doing here. I was reading a guideline or something about trolling the other day, and it said something along the lines of "trolls make non-constructive edits because they are powerless to do anything else" or something like that. Which I think perfectly describes what your doing in AfDs about schools. Your free to disagree though. I could really care less. Obliviously the term troll is subjective and people are going to have differing ideas on what constitutes trolling. So maybe don't attack me for "daring to express an opinion that is different from yours" about it. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:42, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
If you genuininely can't understand why a long-serving and highly productive editor may not be particularly keen on a comment directed straight at him which says "Most of the time the his "votes" are ignored by whoever closes the AfD. So it's not a super big deal, but it is a bit pedantic if not borderline disruptive. I'm hoping someone will report him to ANI for it eventually, but it's better to just to ignore him in the meantime, WP:DFTT", then I have nothing further to say other than learn to moderate your language and reread WP:AGF and WP:NPA. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:03, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
I don't care about your "standing" or how productive of a user you are. This isn't an elite tennis club in the Hamptons or whatever. Being a longstanding, "highly productive" editor doesn't exempt you from the obligation to provide references in an AfD when you claim they exist. Nor does your "standing" justify the clearly insulting user page essay. Tone it down, support your claims of notability with some evidence, and I wouldn't have an issue with you. In the meantime it's hard to take your complaint about me saying your trolling seriously when your fine using the term on your user page. Which is literally the only reason I brought it up. If you think the term "troll" is a personal attack and bad faithed, cool, then don't use the term and I won't either. It's that simple. In the meantime though, I'm not to concerned about using a word to describe your behavior that you clearly have no issue with. WP:AGF and WP:NPA aren't one way streets. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:11, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
You clearly don't get the difference between a comment on an AfD page aimed squarely at an individual editor and an opinion essay on a userpage which mentions no particular editors. Never mind. I'm sure most other editors do. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:28, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I must agree with @Necrothesp on this one. Signed, Pichemist 15:57, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
Whatever our personal opinions or the outcome of this particular AfD, there's been multiple ANI complaints in the last couple of months where people were sanctioned or warned for writing extremely similar messages in AfDs and not backing them up with evidence. From what I remember of those people got a pass because of their success rates either. Let alone because they were long-time contributors or whatever. Personally, I don't care that much about it, but the wider consensus is clearly against people writing two or three sentence votes that lack any sort of supporting evidence. Also, I think if people are going to participate in AfDs they should at least be willing to put the minuscule amount of effort into this that it takes to copy and paste a reference they say exists. Otherwise, leave it to other people who are willing to and work on other areas of Misplaced Pages. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:24, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

From what I remember of those people got a pass because of their success rates either. Let alone because they were long-time contributors or whatever. Really? Because I can't find a single ANI case like this "in the last couple of months". Care to provide us with a link to at least one of these "multiple ANI complaints in the last couple of months where people were sanctioned or warned for writing extremely similar messages" so we can see what you mean? I've never known an editor to be sanctioned for expressing their opinion at AfD so long as it was not attacking another editor. I've seen the occasional editor who doesn't like their views being challenged call for such sanctions (probably not at ANI, however), but I've also seen those calls dismissed out of hand as ludicrous. I would be extremely worried about the direction in which Misplaced Pages was heading if such sanctions or even warnings were imposed. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:51, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
I've been accused of malicious intent recently because I almost always vote keep, but the editor never replied when I challenged their accusations. NemesisAT (talk) 12:22, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Unfortunately you have to get used to it (you shouldn't have to, but it's become the nature of "debate" here). It's been happening to me for several years now. I tend to have a live and let live policy. I'll vote keep if I have strong feelings that something is worth keeping, but won't usually bother voting delete if I don't because I don't think that AfDs where you don't really have strong feelings either way are worth the hassle. It really upsets deletionists, who seem to think it means I want to keep everything. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:14, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Unfortunately I can't find the ANI complaint right now, but someone was topic banned from AfDs for three months a few days ago for repeatedly asserting things were notable without providing evidence, among other things. There was also the ARS members who were either blocked or warned for similar things. One of which was repeatedly asserting that things were notable and being unwilling to provide references when people asked for them. Personally, I'm not really upset about how you vote. Really, I just think that providing references when you say something is notable shows respect for the process and other users. Plus, I really hate to see things get deleted just because keep voters can't be bothered to click a mouse button. Really, if we are all in this to improve Misplaced Pages I don't see how not providing a reference does that. Wouldn't it be better to provide the references your able to find so they can be added to the article? I don't think that's such an unreasonable request. --Adamant1 (talk) 13:45, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
So neither you nor I can find this or any other incident on ANI. How very odd! Especially given there are, according to you, "multiple" cases over the last couple of months. However, I suspect you may be referring to this. A case where an editor merely posted "Keep, for the reasons of those who want to keep this article" on every AfD in which he participated. Which, as I'm sure you will appreciate if you read it, bears no resemblance to anything I have posted on AfDs. But, of course, that's just one of the "multiple" incidents you claim have occurred. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
I'm not sure what your talking about when you just found one of the incidents and I was pretty clear about the other one involving ARS members, which is easy to find, but sure dude. Neither of us found anything. Right. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned there's only a superficial difference between repeatedly saying "Keep, for the reasons of those who want to keep this article" and repeatedly saying "keep because clearly this is notable." To quote from ANI complaint about Davidgoodheart's behavior, "it casts serious doubt on this editor's review of the deletion discussion and source material," "clearly not at AfD to individually assess each article's merits," "Davidgoodheart clearly has difficulty understanding how to participate usefully in deletion discussions," "I have been discounting these comments due to their obvious pro forma nature once I noticed it was the same wording repeated in multiple AfDs...this approach to commenting is inappropriate and has gone on far too long." Literally all those quotes could apply to you. Especially the last one. Your literally repeating the same thing over and over. Nothing in how you vote shows that you are assessing articles on their own merits or reviewing the source material either. Let alone is your participation in AfDs discussions at all useful. You just get ignored and someone else provides the references. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:38, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

    It appears to be both a primary and a secondary school. Primary schools may still have articles if they pass GNG, they are not "surely" non-notable. NemesisAT (talk) 12:58, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete from what I can tell the references are extremely trivial, passing mentions and related to mundane, non-notable facts. Outside of that there is nothing that would constitute the in-depth, direct coverage required by WP:GNG. Sorry, but there isn't really a scenario where a Misplaced Pages article about someone stealing a public address system from the school would work. let alone be encyclopedic. Same goes for them temporarily moving into a different school building, which three references in the article are about. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:50, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
    The school has existed since 1848. Given the level of sourcing available online I think its highly likely newspaper sources exist from earlier as well. The problems with the premises are far from mundane and appear to have been controversial. There are several articles already cited that focus on the subject, which establishes notability per WP:GNG. NemesisAT (talk) 12:53, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
I assume your comment of the "controversy" relates to what I mentioned about someone stealing the PA system. I wouldn't exactly call that a controversy. Except maybe to a couple of mom's at a soccer game, but then anything would qualify as controversial. Personally I prefer standards of notability that don't include things a couple of mom's at a soccer practice would gossip about, which is literally everything. Really, the whole "controversy automatically equates to notability" thing is ridiculous in the first place. Misplaced Pages isn't a tabloid. We aren't here to provide people the latest news on celebrity dating gossip or whatever. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:28, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
I was referring to the controversy surrounding the expansion of the school, which seems to have gone on for several years. I'm not aware of a PA system being stolen, perhaps you're thinking of the article where computers were stolen? NemesisAT (talk) 12:37, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
Oh, OK. It didn't seem like that was a controversy. Yes, computers, a PA system, and I think a few other things. In case your wondering, I singled out the PA system being stolen because computers and computer parts regularly get stolen from schools. PA systems though, not so much. So I think the PA system being stolen is slightly more notable then the computers. Although both are still extremely mundane and probably not worth mentioning in a Misplaced Pages article. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:51, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:DICDEF. While the article contains several sources, none of them provide substantial coverage of Kakistocracy itself and I can’t find evidence that it’s anything more than novel way to say the government is a pack of thieves and liars. RaiderAspect (talk) 00:13, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

  • Comment I don't believe that any of the sources meet the substantial coverage requirement that GNG and DICDEF require. To quote from WP:DICDEF: such articles must go beyond what would be found in a dictionary entry (definition, pronunciation, etymology, use information, etc.), and include information on the social or historical significance of the term. These sources all use the term Kakistocracy, explain its definition, and sometimes include some of its etymology - but they swiftly move on to their real subject, the political culture of various nations/governments. --RaiderAspect (talk) 15:11, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
... so, the social and historical significance of the term then. SailingInABathTub (talk) 15:32, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete — I agree with the comment above. Unlike e.g. kleptocracy, for which there is serious academic analysis of the term of what makes a regime kleptocratic, that is not true of kakistocracy, which is for all intents and purposes just a fancier way of saying idiocracy (a term that inspired a whole movie, but is still not notable as a political science term in itself). The "scope and use" of the term is very simple: it's bad government by idiots. It does not entail some broader reference to how the government functions, like kleptocracy, or its mode of decisionmaking, etc. There's not a whole lot else that can be said about it.

A "series" with only 2 video games, a lot of the article either duplicates content from Left 4 Dead, is WP:OR or irrelevant. If the massive amounts of original research were removed it would be a relative stub and would probably remain so given the unlikelihood of a 3rd game now that Back 4 Blood exists. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 06:52, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep The article absolutely needs improvement, but that's not a reason for deletion. The series as a whole is clearly notable based on the sourcing, and an article covering the franchise as a whole allows for coverage of the cancelled sequel, spinnoffs, and comics. This is a classic case of WP:NOTCLEANUP. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 14:28, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
    It is not convincing that the little information on permanently cancelled Left 4 Dead 3 cannot be moved to a section at the end of Left 4 Dead 2. The fact remains that it is a series with 2 games, the 2nd of which is so similar to the first that it literally incorporates all the first one's campaigns in it to the point where it's obsolete. There is not really any need for discussion of changes made throughout the series because there are hardly any. Comics can also be talked about in the Left 4 Dead article without WP:UNDUE weight. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 16:16, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
Keep- per Qwaiiplayer's comments above. I'm inclined to agree that even though this article definitely needs improvement, it seems notable enough given the sources already cited. And the parent article gives coverage to spin-offs and cancelled sequels as noted above. Spf121188 (talk) 14:36, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep But maybe move to Left 4 Dead (franchise) since it covers comics, spin-offs and other stuff as well.★Trekker (talk) 15:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Merge to both of the respective game's articles. There's long-standing consensus that two entries is not enough for a series article. NOTCLEANUP is irrelevant - the article is completely duplicative and redundant - all content can easily fit into the original game or sequel's article, because that's all there is to talk about. It has to fall into one or the other. Sergecross73 msg me 17:09, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep and move to Left 4 Dead (franchise) The franchise includes more than just the two video games, and it's clearly a notable franchise overall. This article covers things that wouldn't make sense to cover in any of the articles about the individual entries in the franchise, such as the merchandise and the cancelled sequel, so it is not entirely duplicative or redundant. Mlb96 (talk) 22:15, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
    How so exactly? The Midnight Riders songs are explicitly linked to Left 4 Dead 2 and have nothing to do with Left 4 Dead 1. Besides that, toys and action figures just cover a couple sentences and can be mentioned in passing in either or both of the articles without it being undue.
    The Left 4 Dead 3 info can be mentioned in the Legacy section of Left 4 Dead 2, being the game that directly follows it. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 07:47, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep and support moving to (franchise). Yes it is only a 2-game series, but there's clearly additional media, and the combination of both games have cultural elements to them that are covered at that level. It is entirely possible to cover all that in only two articles, but this three-article approach makes it a bit easier for organizating the information. Certainly it is not an issue of notability with the series/franchise as a whole. --Masem (t) 13:53, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

The result was delete redirect to Rugby union at the 1900 Summer Olympics#France (Mixed Team). WP:V, a core policy, provides: "If no reliable, independent sources can be found on a topic, Misplaced Pages should not have an article on it." In this AfD, it is not contested that nothing is known about this man, not even his first name, except that he played in an Olympic rugby match. It is therefore not possible to write a WP:V-compliant biographical article about him. The "keep" opinions that only make reference to notability guidelines that establish a mere presumption of notability must be disregarded because they do not address the actual sourcing situation as established in this AfD. That a redirect is a reasonable alternative to deletion is not contested. Sandstein 09:17, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Article is cobbled together from various bits and pieces of Welsh history, but they do not add up to an article about "devolution", which is a somewhat technical term--and as the very first reference makes clear, that process as such started in 1999. Treating the entire history of Wales as a prelude to this recent phenomenon is a violation of SYNTH. This article is redundant to Devolution_in_the_United_Kingdom#Wales, and the links in there. Drmies (talk) 02:36, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

  • I have just deleted a large section of the page which is perhaps not as relevant, like you say to the title of "Welsh Devolution". I feel that the content of the page is much more fitting of the title. Thank you for drawing my attention to this. The content of the page now fits the title well so please do not consider deleting. I have worked very hard on this. Thank you for your time.TG11TG15 (talk) 02:59, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep Quite flabbergasted by this one. Obviously this is a very notable topic that should be covered in it's own article. AFD is not clean-up nor is Welsh devolution an idea that started in 1999. John Gilbert Evans wrote two books detailing the history of Welsh devolution from 1937-1998 , . The topic has been also been covered extensively in other academic literature: . Per WP:THREE, I'll leave it at those examples so as not to waste people's time. Vladimir.copic (talk) 03:40, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep an acceptable SPINOFF from Devolution in the United Kingdom#Wales on the basis of summary style: the UK devolution page is a broader overview article, and doesn't/shouldn't cover Welsh devolution in the depth a stand-alone article can. Stumbled across this by accident as I reverted the original creator's edits to a different article. Most of the remaining C18/19th section looks relevant, as does nearly everything from 1949 onwards, and it carves out a content niche not directly covered elsewhere. Clean-up is required, but there's plenty of potential for future expansion. I don't believe it meets the threshold for WP:TNT. Jr8825Talk 04:30, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep per the previous two arguments (and also rather surprised this would be nominated). I would actually restore some of the material up to the early modern period sections that established Wales as legally part of "England" and the suppression of the Welsh language, at least as some kind of short summary of the starting position. At the moment, it seems like Wales appeared out of nowhere, or was always legally part of England.OsFish (talk) 04:47, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

    • It's clear from Special:Diff/1069182402 versus Wales#Roman era (Special:PermanentLink/842435878#Roman era) and Special:Diff/1069186134 versus Special:Diff/1050873964 (Welsh independence#21st century), to name just two, that you are copying within Misplaced Pages without attribution. Shuffling about already-written content from other people does not help to make a case that this is an original article on an as-yet-uncovered subject, and belies your claim to have "worked very hard". As someone who has written articles from scratch, I can assure you that what you are doing is a far cry from working very hard. You are passing off other people's work as your own. You've not been putting in any work at all.

      This probably explains these, which I noticed first:

      • Only capitalize proper nouns. wikt:devolution
      • Always give the page number when citing books.
      • Including the Roman Empire but missing out the Wales Act 1978, the Kilbrandon Commission, and the 1979 Welsh devolution referendum is not following the scholarship of legal/political experts on the subject, who all start by at least summarizing them.
      • Read some books:

        • I think the first thing you need to do here is decide if "Welsh devolution" is a thing that started in 1999 or not, and adjust your sourcing accordingly. And what is "Devolution from the Romans"? Maximus just left--your source says nothing about him "devolving" anything. And that's the problem I have with the article: as far as I'm concerned, 90% of it has nothing to do with any kind of devolution--it's simply the history of Wales as an area/nation/state/whatever. User:Jr8825 says that the "larger" (UK) article needn't go into all the detail, and that may be true--but the current article doesn't do that either, it just pulls in anything.

Fails WP:NAUTHOR and WP:ANYBIO. No major awards or achievement. He has written a few translations of Indian mythology books, but none of them seem to be notable. There are a few book reviews, other sources are self published, dependent and connected with ISKCON. In previous AfD, it was claimed that his books have been translated to other languages. First those are translations of the original Indian work. Secondly those translations serve as propaganda material for ISKCON, which funds their printing. It cannot be taken as a sign of notability.

Fails WP:CORP. I can find no substantive third-party reliable sources regarding the firm, only LinkedIn and various directory listings. There is no corresponding article on es-wiki. Sable232 (talk) 00:55, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Fails WP:BIO. Could not find significant coverage. Establishing a beer company or being on 100 Women (BBC) doesn't confer automatic notability. LibStar (talk) 01:15, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

The result was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. Liz 03:12, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

The only reliable source here does not talk about the organization itself (ctrl-f sangam)/its history and is more of a person's account of one event. Per guidelines shown here, an organization is "notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". The other sources of the article are not independent of the subject and a Google search does not bring any reliable sources either (which is why the article would have original research). Also note, that the article was previously deleted here. DareshMohan (talk) 01:04, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Questionable coverage found. Originally created by a user that has been banned for paid editing and sockpuppeting. Nominating rather than PRODing because he has been published and since I'm not familiar with the field, I'm asking other editors to see if he passes WP:ACADEMIC.

  • Delete. Although the original heavily-promotional wording has been trimmed back, this still appears to have no purpose other than promotion. We have no evidence of academic, author, or general notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:20, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete Sources fail GNG, most just link to self-published material or the the individuals book itself. Only one appears to be independent, but probably lacks notability due to just being a local paper. Epluribusunumyall (talk) 06:22, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete Leaning delete, simply seems to be a long-time bariatric surgeon. I get one or two hits in GScholar that could be him, first initial matches. The paid creation/sockpupuet doesn't help with the notability. Oaktree b (talk) 20:05, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
