Likely insignificant formerly unincorporated residential subdivision that is now a part of Seaford, Delaware. I am unable to locate the article's cited sources anywhere to verify whether it fails WP:SIGCOV or falls under WP:ROUTINE, but based on Google or Newspapers.com yielding no relevant results and the only relevant newspaper coverage that I am able to find being passing mentions, I am almost certain that this place is not notable.

- Certainly was a real "village" – the Delaware General Assembly once appointed commissioners to survey the "village known as Nanticoke City, Seaford Hundred," to consider the construction of a public road there. Passing book mentions here and here. Newspapers.com has ~170 mentions of the community in Delaware papers, e.g. [1] [2]. It seems like it was considered separate from Seaford until it was "annexed" in 1910 ([3]). BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:22, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'm going with merge to Seaford, Delaware#History. The latter is terrible anyway, and given that this area is now part of the town, it makes sense to talk about it as part of Seaford's history. Mangoe (talk) 01:41, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

This is not really an article about a notable subject but rather an informational essay about a broad topic. See WP:NOTESSAY.

- There has to be something to talk about regarding the topic of "trends in library usage", but the article as it stands only discusses it from a North American perspective and is very essay-esque and broad as nom suggested. I lean towards either deleting it and starting over per WP:TNT or heavily condensing it and merging it with another article, possibly history of libraries like Left guide suggested. I think I lean more in favor of condensing and then merging the article. Waddles 🗩 🖉 04:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- @WaddlesJP13: Yeah, that was more or less my idea too, a very selective merge. I presume there's good sourcing, but some of the prose will certainly need re-writing when such a merge happens so as not to degrade the quality of the target article. Left guide (talk) 05:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

- Merge to Sun TV Network#Owned channels There's no point to this being its own article as the main one is short in itself and the defunct channels aren't that at all, but merely rebranded, which can easily be another column, though sources are sorely needed; I'd argue for deletion as Template:Sun Group is duplicative, but it's also not visible on mobile. Nate • (chatter) 23:07, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. 2 sources on the page, one has nothing about the network or the channels and the other has no coverage on the list of channels. Poor sources. I did think of Merge or Redirect to Sun TV Network#Owned channels but because no sources are on this and the other page to support the list, it would not be a right move. RangersRus (talk) 01:48, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Contested merge, with both parties agreeing this unreferenced page isn't helpful as a standalone article. Given the uncontested argument that it serves no encyclopedic purpose, and wouldn't improve Invasion of France (1795), deletion seems the best course. I also note that it was (re)created by a now-banned account. Klbrain (talk) 15:23, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: Not opposed to merge to Invasion of France (1795) (although separately I feel that is a strange title, but AfD is not the venue for that discussion). The order of battle does not seem to add much useful information to the main article, is only linked to by the main article (and List of orders of battle). Lastly, the sources used seem to be histories of individual regiments or military units, not commentaries on the order of battle as a whole. Shazback (talk) 00:57, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- Courtesy ping to Vicedomino and voorts as they participated in the merge discussion. Shazback (talk) 00:59, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: My views have changed since proposing the merge. First, there appears to be some community consensus that order of battle lists are encyclopedic, given that there are dozens listed at List of orders of battle. Indeed, some, such as the Battle of Long Island order of battle, are featured lists. Second, I think order of battle lists usually meet WP:CSC #3 since they are "[s]hort, complete lists of every item that is verifiably a member of the group", are usually "reasonably short (less than 32 KB)", and "could be useful (e.g., for navigation) or interesting to readers". Orders of battle are interesting to people who are researching military history and they can be useful for navigation. This one could use more wikilinks, if possible, but selective ILLs could also be added. To respond to the nom, this article is referenced, albeit not with inline citations, which is all that WP:N requires. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:18, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Academic anthropologist who has moved to a secondary level administrative position. He does not have a substantial publication record, no major awards (only local ones). No major coverage, so does not appear to meet any notability criteria. Ldm1954 (talk) 15:09, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. On first read I thought the discovery of "'hobbit'-like primates" mentioned (I think it must be Homo floresiensis that is meant?) must surely have generated GNG, but it looks like that might just be a mistake; according to D'Alto, Nick. In Search of Hobbits. Odyssey, Oct2009, Vol. 18, Issue 8, p6-8 (via Ebsco) he is just commenting on the discovery in the University of Minnesota News. Espresso Addict (talk) 01:17, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep -- A quick WP:BEFORE check shows that the article at the time of nomination buried the lede: he is a full professor (research) at University of Minnesota (an R1 research school) and also department chair (and possibly was head of undergraduate studies at some point too), which, with the "hobbit-primate" research (which made national news if I remember, and there is evidence that this research was covered with McNulty's name attached in Nature) is of a research profile significantly above the average professor. A quick search finds news articles about invited speakerships for him, etc.[4] -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 04:53, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- None of being a full professor, department chair, or giving invited talks at universities satisfies any of the notability criteria in WP:NPROF, they are all routine. As pointed out by @Espresso Addict he was not a coauthor on the "hobbit" paper, and making a comment on another paper is certainly not even close to notable. Please check carefully the criteria in Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Ldm1954 (talk) 12:01, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- N.B., as a quick clarification, WP:NPROF#C6 is specific that being a Dean is not a proof of notability, so department chair certainly is not. Being a full professor does not satisfy WP:NPROF#C5, and departmental colloquia are excluded by WP:NPROF#C1e. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:13, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Mscuthbert Is McNulty a co-author on any of these papers? He certainly wasn't on the original Nature publications on Homo floresiensis cited in our article [5][6]. Just being quoted as an expert on a topic in the media is not usually held to confer notability. Espresso Addict (talk) 12:28, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. He got a little press for his analysis (not discovery) of Homo floresiensis but he's not even cited in that article (unlike his coauthor on the analysis Karen Baab). I don't think this is enough for WP:PROF#C1 and if we're going to try to claim WP:GNG-based notability based on this then I think it falls short of passing WP:BIO1E. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:15, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

I can't find evidence of notability as either a populated place (WP:NPLACE) nor a geographic feature (WP:NATFEAT). GNIS only lists it as a summit, not as a populated place. The only information about it as a feature is trivial mentions like the Appletons' Atlas citation. Similarly, while there are plenty of trivial mentions of it (mostly related to the eponymous road and church), it does not appear to ever have been an officially recognized place, nor is there significant coverage about the place itself. The only two sources in the article that actually give any details about the place - "Etymology Nerd" and Lynne Holden - are both self-published and do not count as reliable sources.

This doesn't appear to be an ambiguous topic so a DAB is not appropriate here anymore than any other term like Tiger and elephant, France and Germany, Facebook and Wikipedia or California and Rhode Island. This is effectively an WP:XY situation where having a DAB is not appropriate. Maybe due to the history needing to be preserved it could be moved to something like Banff, Scotland.

The article is a bit curriculis vitae (which is probably the wrong declension, but "CV" tends to mean "copyvio" here so expanding); this can be fixed. Not super convinced by COI hypothesis: this article is indeed the first major contribution by Singering88, but a. creating it as their userpage is a fair and common rookie mistake; and b. the subject was born 1939, lived in and was educated in Taiwan, then emigrated to the US— at no point in this chain would it be intuitive that a COI editor would choose to render the subject's native name in 簡體字 (which it has been since the initial recension).I could see a case here for COATRACK, since a fair portion of the prose actually deals with the subject's research into the Retreat of the government of the Republic of China to Taiwan. But I am seeing notability here, so landing at improve and keep. Folly Mox (talk) 16:36, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Seven mainstream published books are also likely to have generated enough reviews to meet AUTHOR. The article is probably readily salvageable simply by deleting all the unrelated material.

- Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

The article notes: "在學生的年代,吳興鏞先生台灣大學畢業後,到美國深造。分別在華大(University of Washington)與霍大(Johns Hopkins University)修得雙博士。近半世紀以來,他既在加州長堤榮民醫院擁有研究室,又到加州大學爾灣校區醫學院任教。對甲狀腺素的研究,成就卓越。他曾發現胎兒的甲狀腺素代謝以硫酸化徑路為主,同時一部分硫酸化甲狀腺素由胎兒轉到母體,成為由他命名的「吳氏複合體」(W-Compound),作為胎兒甲狀腺功能的指標,或可做未來第二代檢查的指標,曾獲美國專利。"
From Google Translate: "When he was a student, Mr. Wu Xingyong went to the United States for further study after graduating from National Taiwan University. He obtained double doctorates from the University of Washington and Johns Hopkins University respectively. For nearly half a century, he has had a research laboratory at Long Beach Veterans Hospital in California and taught at the School of Medicine at the University of California, Irvine. Research on thyroxine has achieved excellence. He once discovered that fetal thyroxine metabolism is mainly based on the sulfation pathway. At the same time, part of the sulfated thyroxine is transferred from the fetus to the mother, becoming the "W-Compound" named by him, which serves as an indicator of fetal thyroid function. , which may be used as an indicator for future second-generation inspections, and has been patented by the United States."

The article notes: "吴兴镛,祖籍北仑区戚家山街道青峙村,1939年生于四川,1963年毕业于台湾大学,1972年毕业于美国约翰·霍普金斯大学医学院,获医学博士学位;他从事甲状腺素代谢研究36年,有专书、专利及论文多项,1991年升任美国加州大学欧文(音译)医学院教授至今;他是号称“蒋介石的总账房”、亲历大陆黄金运台重要人物、台湾钢铁界元老吴嵩庆之子,"
From Google Translate: "Wu Xingyong, whose ancestral home is Qingzhi Village, Qijiashan Street, Beilun District, was born in Sichuan in 1939. He graduated from National Taiwan University in 1963 and from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1972 with a doctorate in medicine. He has been engaged in thyroid hormone metabolism research for 36 years and has published many books, patents and papers. In 1991, he was promoted to professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. He is the son of Wu Songqing, who is known as "Chiang Kai-shek's chief accountant", an important figure who witnessed the transportation of gold from the mainland to Taiwan, and a veteran of Taiwan's steel industry."

The article notes: "一个偶然的机会,美国加州大学尔湾医学院教授吴兴镛开始了这段复杂而艰涩的调查。吴兴镛的父亲吴嵩庆曾担任国民党军财务军需署长15年之久,从表面上看,他的职位并不高,但是这期间所管理的军费在国民党政府总预算中最高曾占2/3以上。此外,在国民党政府最艰难时期(1948~1949),国库大半资金也暂时由他与中央银行共同监管。吴兴镛的调查,让我们得以看清60多年前,一段颇为特殊的历史事件。"
From Google Translate: "By chance, Wu Xingyong, a professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, began this complex and difficult investigation. Wu Xingyong's father, Wu Songqing, served as the director of the KMT's military finance and munitions department for 15 years. On the surface, his position was not high, but the military expenses he managed during this period accounted for more than 2/3 of the KMT government's total budget. In addition, during the most difficult period of the KMT government (1948-1949), most of the treasury funds were temporarily supervised by him and the central bank. Wu Xingyong's investigation allows us to see clearly a very special historical event more than 60 years ago."

During this period, he discovered an astonishing secret - Chiang Kai-shek's hidden military expenditure gold archives."

This is clearly an advertorial-style TV show that lacks notability and coverage in reliable sources under WP:NTV and WP:GNG.

- Draftify. The show seems clearly notable as an established broadcast TV program. The fact that the actual content of the show might be fluffy business cheerleading seems to be influencing the nomination, and it shouldn’t, that has nothing to do with the notability of the show.
- The fact that this article is fluffy cheerleading however, is relevant, and this article isn’t ready to be public in its current form, hence the nomination. It will need an eventual source analysis but that’s premature until the article is NPOV.
- When that happens, the analysis of sources should be mindful that this is media, and coverage of media within other media tends to follow different conventions. WilsonP NYC (talk) 16:19, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

- Delete The sourcing here is very poor indeed. Tangential sources are used to prop up statements about companies mentioned in the article, bulking up the overall source count but adding nothing to the very scanty notability of this show. So we have a lot of content like "It has been credited with helping businesses gain exposure and recognition, as seen with companies like Core9" sourced to the Core9 blog. And this is by no means atypical. Sources 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 are TV listings (and by no means unique in this - it's just wearying picking through the 79 sources in this article - almost all of which are tangential, non-RS, listings or sourced to the show itself. There's literally nothing there, the whole article's SYNTH, OR and in short a man of straw. And once again, we have descended into poetry... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:47, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

- Procedural keep - Tbh I would usually be starting at delete on this one and trying to disprove my assumption, but this is one of multiple nominations all nominated within minutes of each other without any evidence of a deletion rationale or a WP:BEFORE. Looking at the others, many seem fairly obvious keeps with minimal searching. Searching takes a lot of time, and I don't see the case is made that this time be spent. I think we should procedurally keep this one, without prejudice against a renomination by anyone (without the usual six month stand off) who has spent sufficient time looking at the issue to write a fuller deletion rationale.

It gets two full pages in the book Improving Schools (2014).[17] However that appears to be self published.

This isn't an official list kept by Oceania Athletics Association and appears to be full of original research. Plus, the tables are incomplete. Besides the senior ranks, World Athletics or continental governing bodies typically only keep an official U20 World Record list ("junior") and a U18 World Best list ("youth"). Having record lists that are incomplete and not official seems like a poor choice. I am not nominating the Europe U23 list and South America U23 list for deletion as these have official records kept by European Athletics Association and Atletismo Sudamericano.

- Here, "distributed domestically in a country" means distributed within India. This film didn't see the light outside Gujarat and we are not maintaining a database of films released in India, but rather of notable films released in India.

- Keep. There's been very little discussion of specific sources, so I've gone ahead and started by making a source assessment table based on sources in the article:
Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
---|---|---|---|---|
The Kansas City Star | This is a WP:INDEPENDENT WP:NEWSORG doing its own reporting | This is a reliable WP:NEWSORG | The source is principally about the article subject. | ✔ Yes |
The Manhattan Mercury | This is an independent daily mainstream newspaper doing its own reporting. | This is a 140-year-old well-established daily newspaper; WP:NEWSORG. | This source is directly covering the article subject in a substantial way, with the whole source principally focused on the article subject. | ✔ Yes |
Anti-defamation league | ? Moot as not SIGCOV | ? Moot as not SIGCOV | He gets name-dropped once, but that's about all the coverage he gets. | ✘ No |
The Collegian (KSU) 1 | Student media. Per WP:RSSM, student media does not contribute to notability for topics related to home institutions. |
why not? | ? deadlink, but moot per WP:RSSM. | ✘ No |
The Collegian (KSU) 2 | Student media. Per WP:RSSM, student media does not contribute to notability for topics related to home institutions. |
Why not? | deadlink, but moot per WP:RSSM. | ✘ No |
Southern Poverty Law Center 1 | Why not? | Per WP:RSP, The Southern Poverty Law Center is considered generally reliable on topics related to hate groups and extremism in the United States. |
This coverage is principally about McNeil. | ✔ Yes |
Southern Poverty Law Center 2 | Why not? | Per WP:RSP, The Southern Poverty Law Center is considered generally reliable on topics related to hate groups and extremism in the United States. |
McNeil is not so much as mentioned by name once. | ✘ No |
Southern Poverty Law Center 3 | Why not? | Per WP:RSP, The Southern Poverty Law Center is considered generally reliable on topics related to hate groups and extremism in the United States. |
? There's plenty of coverage of McNeil and Dickerman as a sort of group, but little of McNeil alone. In any case, going to be moot as WP:N notes that Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability, and we already have a contributing SPLC source above. |
? Unknown |
The Kansas City Star 2 | Independent WP:NEWSORG | A WP:NEWSORG doing its own reporting | Seems to give substantial coverage to McNeil and his activities. | ✔ Yes |
The Daily Dot's "God" blog | Sure? | While WP:DAILYDOT is MREL, but looking more broadly at the God blog archives this looks like an opinionated blog that's just hosted on the platfom. | ? Seems to be about McNeil and reaction to his actions. | ✘ No |
BroBible | Sure? | ~ I can't find anything in the WP:RSN archives or at WP:NPPSG, but this feel a lot like a WP:DEXERTO-level source | Seems to be about McNeil and reaction to his actions. | ~ Partial |
Inside Higher Ed | Why not? | WP:NEWSORG | We've got two paragraphs about McNeil that pass the WP:100WT for independent prose, albeit barely. | ✔ Yes |
The Kansas City Star 3 | Independent WP:NEWSORG | WP:NEWSORG | WP:NEWSORG doing their own report principally about the subject and his activities. | ✔ Yes |
Southern Poverty Law Center 4 | This is the same url as source 6 | This is the same url as source 6 | This is the same url as source 6 | ✔ Yes |
MEL Magazine | Sure? | ~ RSN archives treat this as a mixed reliability source. | Three paragraphs about McNeil and his activities, passes the WP:100WT. | ~ Partial |
Mother Jones | Why not? | Per WP:MOTHERJONES, source is WP:GREL. | Five paragraphs are given in the article to coverage of McNeil; this is clearly SIGCOV. | ✔ Yes |
Vice | Why not? | ~ The community doesn't have consensus regarding VICE's reliability. | Seems to provide significant secondary coverage of McNeil and his making allegations against Fuentes. | ~ Partial |
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}}. |
- What this reveals is that, based on solely sources in the article, McNeil has received WP:SIGCOV from at least the following sources:
- The Kansas City Star: 1, 2, 3
- The Manhattan Mercury: 1
- Southern Poverty Law Center: 1, maybe 2
- Mother Jones: 1.
- This alone would easily pass WP:SIGCOV and, as there appears to be multiple events covered among these sources, this doesn't look like a WP:BLP1E/WP:BIO1E case. The additional sources that one can google regarding the McNeil-KSU football affair really do drive home that not all of his coverage is about Nick Fuentes or storming the U.S. capitol:

- As such, I think we have an individual here who easily passes WP:GNG, for whom no suitable merge target exists, and I think nom's contention that this is only someone who is covered in the context of Fuentes is plainly incorrect. In light of the breadth of coverage and the deep sourcing, there is nothing reasonable to do here but to keep.

- Delete: More about the controversial things said and the fallout than about the individual, from the sources. "Streamer says things, ruffles feathers, than fades away" seems to be the extent of what we have. Oaktree b (talk) 00:17, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- GNG and SIGCOV are clearly met. Reliable sources like ADL, the Kansas city star, the Manhatten Mercury, Southern poverty law center all cover this individual. This goes with Wikipedia's guidelines on notability. According with Wikipedia's guidelines, Notability isn't determined on what a certain individual is notable for, but if reliable sources cover him. However if it was the opposite, well they cover his falling out with Fuentes, His views, His association with Nick Fuentes, him being held accountable by Kansas State University for an offensive joke, him getting a girlfriend, etc. I don't even know why this is a discussion. His Wikipedia page has been up for about two years with barely anyone saying anything because it's common sense this goes with Wikipedia's guidelines.

- " Student says bad things " isn't terribly notable, this person wasn't notable before that happened. I'd be looking for extensive coverage of them before the event, which we don't seem to have. I've done things as a student and was held accountable, that's not really what we're looking for. Oaktree b (talk) 03:24, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Oaktree b you've might've done bad things as a student, but news sources didn't cover it. Again, Wikipedia's notability policy are if reliable sources cover something, not "this isn't something I think is news worthy or topic worthy". As for "there needs to be extensive coverage of him before the Kansas University incident", why? Why does it matter what the first news source about him said? If multiple reliable sources cover him and different incidents involving him afterwards, that goes with Wikipedia's notability policy. But here, here's a news story covering him before the Kansas University incident. https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/nicholas-fuentes-america-first-infighting also I saw ESPN cover Jaden McNeil too, multiple reliable sources cover this guy, I'm struggling to understand why this is a discussion. Wikipedia's guidelines is clear as day. Wikipedia's guidelines say nothing about if you think something's news worthy, but if news outlets consider it news worthy. HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 05:25, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- That incident, for what it's worth, has been turned into a academic case study. It's not just that a kid said something inflammatory, it's that the incident was nationally covered and continued to receive attention in academics even after it was out of the news (in addition to the case study, described in a Ph.D. thesis). I think that reducing this to " Student says bad things " isn't terribly notable is a gross oversimplification here that misses just how big this was—and also ignores coverage in the context of other events as well. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 06:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I propose taking action on the article "Bhavishya Malika Puran" as it solely presents propaganda spread by news channels for financial gain. Context: The article is highly disputed, and its accuracy as a translation of the original Bhavishya Malika remains unverified. News channels have extensively covered this topic, primarily repeating the claims made by the Pandit. Unfortunately, the errors in this translated book, which appears to be motivated by financial interests, have gone unchallenged. Having carefully examined the book and its issues, I recommend one of the following actions: 1. Archive the article until credible evidence supporting its claims is provided. Or 2. Add a disclaimer to the article stating that it is a controversial issue and establish a Reception section to present a balanced view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kharavela Deva (talk • contribs) 12:06, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

- Merge to Download manager: The full review of the software in PC Mag can be found here, and a report from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory gives a very brief description of its features (link). This level of sourcing is insufficient, but only by a hair. I could be persuaded to change my vote to Keep if someone else finds better sourcing, which I think is a real possibility. I will also note that the previous AfD contains a bunch of Keep votes that are prime examples of arguments to avoid, but one vote does suggest a decent merge target.

- 1st source listed is WP:HUFFPOCON, 2nd and 3rd don't mention her just a controversy she was involved with, 4th is a blog post that mentions her on the same controversy, 5th is a dead link, 6th is a petition, 7th, 8th, 11th are from same site about the same thing but could potentially be an ok source, 9th is a blog, 10th is the same thing as 8th. 12th is dead.

- @TheLoyalOrder I'm counting 28 sources in that AFD, and its difficult to know what sources you are talking about specifically because they are not numbered.

TheLoyalOrder (talk) 07:06, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- probably wrong on some of these judgements but not wrong to the point it changes the determinations, i think. 0 definitely good sources. Also most of these, regardless of quality, talk about like 1 controversy from a decade ago TheLoyalOrder (talk) 07:09, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. I'm confused and impressed that someone would make a gigantic chart to evaluate these sources. Yes, many of them are bad or irrelevant, but so what? There are a lot of subjective judgements of individual sources that I do not share and I believe that Carrite's sources provided in the previous AFD establish notability. Gamaliel (talk) 15:18, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Carrite lists three sources: source 1 isn't independent and is primary (it's mostly an interview of her, the information is coming from the subject), source 2 is from a deprecated source WP:HUFFPOCON (basically a blog post, no editorial oversight), source 3 i'd argue its not really significant coverage of parker, more of one incident involving Parker. Unclear if this site has an editorial (no about us section) or if this is just basically a blog post.
- Even included that, that's one iffy source.
- Also note these three sources are from 2014, not really sustained coverage. TheLoyalOrder (talk) 21:21, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
KeepWeak Keep. We need to judge this by the best sources. The inclusion of additional primary sources is neither hear nor there when it comes to deletion. (Any truly superfluous ones can be removed from the article.) I think we can safely disregard the big table of sources above as it lists several secondary sources as not being so. For example, interviews are not primary sources (unless the subject is self-publishing the interview, I guess). I'm sure that this is a genuine misunderstanding but it reveals the entire AfD to be misconceived. --DanielRigal (talk) 16:04, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Update: If it is true that Malloy genuinely requests deletion then I do not oppose deletion on that basis. She is clearly notable enough for us to have an article but not so significantly notable that we must have an article about her, i.e. where not having an article would create a hole in the encyclopaedia. This is a middle position where discretion might be exercised legitimately. I am neutral on that, provided that there really is an unambiguous request for deletion. I guess that makes my !vote into a weak keep overall so I've updated it accordingly. If deleted then the article title should probably redirect to The Advocate. --DanielRigal (talk) 00:46, 24 November 2024 (UTC)- what are the best sources? interviews being primary sources is based on WP:Interviews, since any information they give about themselves is primary and that's what the article is about TheLoyalOrder (talk) 20:38, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: I do not believe Carritte's sources establish notability. The HuffPost source is unusable per WP:HUFFPOCON. I don't think the Windy City source is sufficiently independent, but even if it was that only leaves us with two usable sources between it and Queerty. The sources currently in the article seem to be a mixture of passing mentions or Molloy herself. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 19:17, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

- Updated now that I've noticed what the subject herself says and looked at the article in that light. Essentially it's at risk of violating WP:NPOV throughout, in its present form. ("...representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources".) I know that doesn't have an impact on notability but it's a good reason to delete, without ruling out someone completely rewriting it in the future. --Northernhenge (talk) 15:08, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, she's borderline notable, however it's not a clear case as much of this is what she said/wrote, not independent coverage. Together with subject requesting deletion, I think we err on the side of their request as a BLP. Star Mississippi 02:56, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

The more you look at sources, the more notability seems to be lacking. Many are based on band members' own words via interviews. Some other sources include articles written by band members themselves. Once you see past the notability mask smoke screen, the notability of this band appears quite thin and below meeting GNG. Also, the article was created by an undisclosed paid editing user. That editor appears to have a COI with this article. Graywalls (talk) 06:05, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

This seems like a situation I've occasionally come across where an album might be more notable than a band. Season of Death has some significant coverage from HM, The Metal Resource, and Teeth of the Divine. That last one is currently being discussed at the reliable sources notice board. I noticed the review is written by the site owner, which would mean that it can't be used for any biographical statements. The site owner is a reputable music journalist, so that does confer notability to the album. however, apart from the album reviews, most of the other stuff I'm seeing is either press release copy, interviews from unreliable or self-published sources (which are fine for verifiable statements about the band but not for establishing notability), or COI sources (The Metal Onslaught and Indie Vision Music). I am leaning toward merge with Season of Death.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 12:28, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

- See WP:ABOUTSELF. "unduly self serving" is often black and white, but there's grey area in some cases.
- For example, "first luxury boutique hotel in town" citing the hotel's page or "a 100,000 lumen flash light released in 2024" citing the manufacturer's website of a light sold for $10 on Amazon. The former is fluffing, the latter is likely objectively inaccurate. However, citing the hotel's page "is a hotel in town xxx" or the flashlight's manufacturer's as "a flashlight release in 2024" would pass for factual accuracy. In 99.99% of cases, that flashlight's page has no place being cited or mentioned AT ALL on Wikipedia though. I think WP:RS is a concept unique to Wikipedia. Much of the sources in Symphony of Heaven don't substantiate inclusion worthiness even if factually accurate. Graywalls (talk) 21:14, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Basic biographical facts and album releases are fine to cite to the subject and those affiliated with the subject. But, if attributable to the subject, they don't give the subject notability. Verifiability isn't the same as notability. The flashlight hypothetical is a hypothetical and isn't relevant here.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done)
- That merge suggestion appears unsound though. I was only suggesting that be merged INTO this, because Season of Death is one of the many notability failing articles of Symphony of Heaven. So, that being merged into this would be reasonable if this isn't notable, but if they're both non-notable, then deletion is sometimes the sound option. Graywalls (talk) 23:20, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

- If we had an article on Battery Company Inc, and separate articles on AA, C and D batteries of theirs, merging individual product into the company would make sense if the company is notable, but if we only had sources to make the AA stick, I don't believe that's a right re-direct target. That's the situation we have here. Graywalls (talk) 21:11, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- I don't understand your analogy. The album is notable. The band is not (or barely is).--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 23:10, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- It doesn't make much of a sense to merge the band into an album for the sake of saving cruft from a non-notable band. Their other non-notable albums would then re-direct, rather than merge into one of the albums. Though, my order of preerence would be Del->redir->m erge. There are three other albums, so this would be a situation where there's really no appropriate singular re-direct target. Like I said, it's like re-directing a non-notable battery company into their marginally notable "non-notable comany's AA battery" while there's an article each in existence for each of the company's battery size. As you can see, this is an illogical target. Graywalls (talk) 01:16, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

I cannot move this back to draft unilaterally, which would be my preferred solution. See WP:DRAFTOBJECT for the reason. That means we are at AfD for this unreferenced article, and I am proposing Draftify as the outcome in order that the creating editor might have the peace and quiet of Draft space to comply with WP:V 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 11:36, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: I don't know if there is presently a need to draftify, I've gone through and added some content from the first sources. There may be a consensus driven conversation to be had about the notability of the subject (and I've left that maintenance tag on the article), alongside similar articles as Vadi (music) and Samavadi or if these might be better off merged into a single target, but I don't know if that was being considered in this AfD as nominated. Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:46, 7 December 2024 (UTC) P.S.: The correct AT is likely Anuvadi but I hesitate in moving anything with an open AfD. Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:46, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Draftify (pending improvemnts) - the sources suggest this is not a term for a specific pitch or a specific type of music, but a WP:DICTDEF general term for an assonant note in classical Indian music. There is probably something encyclopedic to be said here, but the article does not say it; and Vadi (music) is not currently a plausible redirect target. Remaining in draft space appears the best option for now. Walsh90210 (talk) 22:47, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

I am aware of his 89 minutes of football in the top tier of Hungary but I don't believe that that makes Fellai notable by default. Under current guidelines he needs to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The only decent source that I can find is Pécsi Újság but this uses Pécsi MFC as its source so is not independent of the subject. In any case, one source is never enough to presume notability for a footballer. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 11:20, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Per WP:EVENTCRIT. The event does not have in-depth nor sustained continued coverage with none of them providing significant coverage of the event beyond a simple summary. This seems to be the best of the sources that I've found, however it doesn't provide significant coverage of the event.

- Being the deadliest aviation accident in a country is not exactly a valid rationale for keeping an article since it is not based on any notability guideline.

- Keep: The film has garnered SigCov in sources such as Times of India, India Today, and DNA India. These outlets have extensively reported on the film's promotional activities, cast, and production details and so passes WP:NFF.

- I recommend seeking out current sources, as there are enough secondary coverages available.

- @CNMall41 It seems you misunderstood my comment. I wasn’t arguing in favor of keeping the article just because the release is imminent. Instead, I was highlighting that given the popularity of the cast and crew, a significant amount of coverage tends to surface, similar to any other films with a notable lineup.

This article has been around since 2013, yet makes no claim of notability for any of the songs. The only reference is a book called "...130 Popular Songs...", which appears to be just a book of song lyrics, so it does not appear useful as a reliable source. There are a dozen more articles in this set. This article and its siblings appear to violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY or one of the other guidelines on that page.

Non-notable per general notability. A quick look using the search engine finds no additional significant coverage beyond the already cited Multiplayer.it review and a briefly descriptive GRY entry.

- Keep The rationale for deletion is "fails GNG in the sense that the sourcing presented is either not indepdenent or not significant coverage". But that's not how it works. Please read WP:ARTN. You should always do a WP:BEFORE search before proposing deletion.
- @Bakhtar40 On what are you basing your assertions that none of these publications are reliable sources? I just reread WP:RS to see if I had missed anything, and I'm now rather confident that under WP:NEWSORG that most of these very clearly are reliable sources. Economic Times is a publication of the 180-year-old Times of India, the country's most respected newspaper, for example. Could you please provide more evaluation of each publication's reliability than just a "WP:RS-no".
- The MoneyControl piece is not an announcement by the company. If you read the text, it's a small article by MoneyControl publishing the company's announcement. While a press release itself doesn't help establish notability because it isn't independent, a newspaper's act of writing a story around a company's announcement does suggest notability.
- Interviews are not about establishing reliability. On the contrary, the fact that a fifty-year-old business journal performs and publishes an interview DOES help establish the interviewee's notability. Davemc0 (talk) 23:07, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: I'm not expert enough with Greek military units to feel confident in voting, but I did check some typical reference sources, including Harper's Dictionary of Classical Antiquities and Pauly-Wissowa, neither of which has an entry for "pantodapoi". I also checked under "auxiles" or related headwords. A broad search of the classical materials at Perseus turned up the word with reference to a kind of sauce (perhaps I misunderstood) and in a couple of other places, but not with reference to soldiers. A Google search for "pantodapoi soldiers" turned up a set of circular-looking definitions, perhaps based on this article or wherever its definition came from in the first place.
- I suspect that what has happened here is that the article's creator confused a description of some auxiliary soldiers with a name for their unit: pantodapoi phalangites means "miscellaneous soldiers (in a phalanx)", not "a particular type of soldiers (natives) making up a phalanx". But it would be nice to see if anyone with more expertise in Greek military history concurs with this. Not certain that the general notability guideline is what's relevant here; if the definition were correct, I think the topic would be notable. But if, as I believe, the article is the result of a misunderstanding, then it can be deleted as though it were a hoax (albeit an accidental one). P Aculeius (talk) 16:29, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

- Ong Kai Jin, did you check any of the local news sources with the non-English name, such as this one? Although I don't read the local language myself, I am finding enough sources about this school that I am reluctant to redirect it. Since this is the equivalent of a large public high school in the American educational system, it is perhaps not surprising that these news sources exist, and I would expect to find official reports and other reliable sources as well. When the school is located in a non-English-speaking country, searching for its translated name is really not an adequate WP:BEFORE search. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:11, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- The news were about principal thanking a company for gifting glasses to students among interviews of others,[1] some of the individual achievements,[2][3][4] a teacher's own fund to help the needed,[5] two students got a helicopter ride under a government syndicate's initiative,[6] a road accident which mentioned about a mother was sending child to school,[7] an individual interview,[8] an announcement by a company to execute a project with schools[9] and an award for being a teacher figure in the district.[10]
- Those featuring individual achievements and interviews should be disregarded as the school is not inherent of the notability per WP:INHERITORG, and the remaining did not provide in-depth coverage or facts for the school itself. Ong Kai Jin (talk) 04:32, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Any source that contains any in-depth coverage about the school itself should be counted. Some editors prefer the Wikipedia:One hundred words standard for "in depth". The point is, those 100 words have to be about the school.
- If you have a source that says "Aisha is a very smart student. She won the city contest for most artistic fruit display. She lives at home with her parents, grandmother, and older brother. Her grandmother taught her how to cut fruit decoratively. She attends the Mahsuri National Secondary School", then that suggests (weak) notability for Aisha, but not her school.
- However, if you have a source that says all of that, plus it has several sentences about the school, then the part of the source about the school (but not the part about the student) counts towards notability for the school. It is not about being "inherent of the notability". WhatamIdoing (talk) 07:25, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

- Keep - Per WhatamIdoing, and adding that as well as SMK Mahsuri (which turns up plenty including some research and book mentions) there are also articles showing for "Mahsuri Secondary" "Langkawi" [30] and presumably other variations. This is one of 22 nominations that were made on the same day, each minutes apart. I do not believe there was time for an adequate WP:BEFORE and my presumption based on sources that show up, and on the nature, size and age of this school, is that it is notable. I have not researched each source more deeply as the size of the task with 22 schools is prohibitive. The SCHOOLOUTCOMES RfC close discouraged mass nomination of schools simply because the guideline had changed, and there is no better deletion rationale here as to why these should be deleted.

- WhatamIdoing, I meant the school does not inherit notability just because any of its students or teachers got featured on news, examples were clear in WP:INHERITORG. They would also fail to be included under lists along with each of their achievements since they are not notable by themselves. WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG#OS advised that specific students should not be mentioned unless they are notable by their own right, and individual awards should not be listed. WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG#WNTI also advised not to mention individual pupils or teachers. After excluding them, I do not believe these are contextualizable in the article:
I would some of these news have one sentence about the school, even there is some, most of them did not provide relevant facts about the school itself. Ong Kai Jin (talk) 14:50, 6 December 2024 (UTC)In 2017, Bank Mualamat announced to launch MyDebit with the school. In 2019, a mother witnessed a car accident while sending her children to the school.

- Second, non-profit and government-run schools don't have to comply with AUD or any other part of NCORP at all, because NCORP says that they can qualify under the GNG. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:57, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG, there seems to be no WP:SIGCOV. There is coverage of a copyright lawsuit and a single Destructoid article. I have found no other significant, independent sources. WP:RS/VG says Destructoid is only sometimes considered reliable. Alternative Proposed Merge. The creator Zhu Zhiqiang has an article that covers the lawsuit content, and that content relating to Xiao Xiao could perhaps be merged to Zhu Zhiqiang as an alternative to deletion.

- Keep I think the nomination makes a good case for not having two articles, but I suggest the proper action is to change Zhu Zhiqiang to a redirect, and to keep this article. Zhu is only famous for this cartoon and anything extra can be added here. Yes, the significant coverage is about the lawsuit, but the lawsuit is about these cartoons so unless we want to have another article about the lawsuit it all belongs here.I've just added a cite to Guo, Yimei. Modern China’s Copyright Law and Practice. Springer, 2017 which dedicates several pages to the lawsuit including pictures from the cartoon. There's a big uncited section in the article, listing out each of the cartoons with a summary. It should be deleted unless citations are found (I'm aware of none).

Brocade River Poems (She/They) 12:48, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- No, what I'm proposing would have to start with keeping this article, and then Zhu Zhiqiang would need to be dealt with separately. I think the proper way to handle would be to close this as keep (you could withdraw at this point), I'd commit to moving the Zhu Zhiqiang stuff over to this article and either do redirect (assuming I can figure out how to do a redirect - it's been a while) or propose a redirect.I'd be against merging this into IP in China.

I would: 1. spell it as Snow; 2. rather than using the name unqualified, say something like "known in Russian as the 'Snow Strait' (Russian: пролив Сноу, romanized: proliv Snou)"; 3. make this a redirect (or I guess you say a merge but there's not much of a difference).

- Comment: One of the arguments used by nom of previous AfD was This also has precedent e.g. East and West Germany don't have separate pages for their wars, and neither do North and South Vietnam or North and South Yemen. The first half is true, but not the second: We've got List of wars involving North Yemen, List of wars involving South Yemen, as well as List of wars involving Yemen. However, given the significant amount of WP:OVERLAP between the three, we might consider the North and South lists WP:REDUNDANTFORKs, to be merged into List of wars involving Yemen. (The obvious difference being that North and South Yemen no longer exist, only a united Yemen, at least officially; by contrast, a united Korea no longer exists, but a North and South Korea do, despite claiming the whole peninsula for themselves.) But that would be a good idea for a follow-up if this AfD has been closed as nominated. NLeeuw (talk) 15:57, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. As with the list of wars involving North Korea, declaring historical states on the territory of modern South Korea (like Goryeo) to be predecessors to South Korea specifically is questionable. There's currently no need for a separate article. Cortador (talk) 16:00, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- We should have a main one for Korea, with links to separate lists for North Korea and South Korea. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 18:02, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- I am open to this alternative proposal of three separate lists:
- Korea until 1948
- North Korea since 1948
- South Korea since 1948
- @Shazback below seems to be suggesting the same thing.
- If we do choose for this alternative, I would recommend including the words until 1948 and since 1948 in the article titles just to make clear to both readers and editors what the scope of each list is, and to prevent creating WP:REDUNDANTFORKs again. Cortador was right that we shouldn't duplicate content, but merging all three lists into one might not be the best solution. Also for readability, navigability, and categorisation purposes, three separate lists would solve several practical problems, including the untenable idea that there is still a unified Korean state as of 2024.

- Keep: Very surprised by the outcome of the previous AfD, which I did not see/participate in. I would be surprised to be directed to a page covering wars of multiple states if I was looking for either one.
My suggestion would for "List of wars involving Korea" to be a disambiguation page with 3 pages listed: "List of wars involving states of the Korean peninsula (pre-1948)"; "List of wars involving North Korea"; "List of wars involving South Korea". Both the latter pages only include post-1948 conflicts, and can have a section at the beginning stating that the state claim succession to pre-1948 states if necessary.
This follows the most common way people view and analyse the world when considering wars (by state), avoids duplication by clearly separating historical lists where states did not match current territories (e.g., whatever criteria are most relevant for inclusion can be decided, for instance to consider the Ungjin Commandery without needing to worry if either South or North Korea claim it as a predecessor state), while remaining clear link targets that can be found easily. Shazback (talk) 19:09, 21 November 2024 (UTC) - Comment Most of these articles list every war that happened at a location, instead of the current nation. List of wars involving the United States doesn't list the wars that happened there between native Americans or others before the nation was officially founded. Dream Focus 18:26, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Perhaps because the United States does not claim succession of those states? Plenty of other articles list them by geography / include predecessor states to the current country (e.g., List of wars involving Poland, List of wars involving Vietnam). Shazback (talk) 18:31, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- As a general rule, we do not create lists or categories based on the geographic location where a war or battle took place, as this is usually WP:NONDEFINING. See WP:MILMOS#BATTLESIN. These lists are about belligerents involved in a conflict, not countries etc. where the conflict took place. Therefore, there are no battles "involving the United States" prior to the American Revolutionary War. NLeeuw (talk) 02:10, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Not sure I follow / understand fully your comment. Both pages I shared include plenty of elements that occured prior to the current constitution / establishment of the Third Polish Republic or the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Many of these are lineage / predecessor states that had claim over the general area of the current state (not identical borders). Furthermore, a cursory / quick look at both these lists as well as the list of wars involving the United States shows they include cases were the state is not a belligerent per se: Bleeding Kansas in the USA list, the Later Trần rebellion (1407–1414) in the Vietnam list, and the Januszajtis putsch in the Poland list. I'd also note that World War I is listed as a conflict involving Poland, despite Poland not existing at any point during the war as a clear indication geography is considered when compiling these lists. These lists are not pages I like / find very useful exactly because of the points made in the WP: pages you linked. When looking at wars of Country A, my personal expectation is to see only the wars of what is commonly understood to be Country A in current geopolitics (i.e., for North Korea, 1948+, for the USA 1775/6+, for Poland 1918+, for Vietnam 1976+). But that's not how many other people like it, as they expect to see predecessor states' wars included in these lists. Shazback (talk) 02:49, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. As I see it the current list can't stand as it is but not for notability reasons. South Korea did not exist until 1948, so if we are going to have a list with this title, the earliest war should begin in 1948. However, if we are going to include wars extending back in time in that geographic area than that topic is better covered at List of wars involving Korea. So I would support a Keep if the list does not include content before 1948 or a redirect to List of wars involving Korea#South Korea. Best.4meter4 (talk)

- Comment: Several participants of the previous AfD, as well as new participants, have indicated that they are surprised by the previous AfD's outcome, and do not think it serves as a good precedent for this one. That undermines my rationale.
- As nom, moreover, I am open to the alternative proposal of three separate lists:
- involving Korea until 1948
- involving North Korea since 1948
- involving South Korea since 1948
- This alt proposal appears to enjoy a majority right now. The inclusion of the year 1948 in the title of all three separate lists also appears to enjoy some support, in order to prevent duplication (WP:REDUNDANTFORKs) and WP:OR by implying that North Korea and South Korea have already existed for hundreds of years. Even though the ROK and DPRK do not diplomatically recognise each other, the de facto reality is that Korea ceased to be a unified state in or around 1948, and has split in two, a situation which has been consolidated since the 1953 ceasefire. It is probably best if our lists of wars involving Fooland reflect that, and the year 1948 will serve as the turning point in which the Korea list splits into North Korea and South Korea.

- Keep Dump truck is already a long article, and there are separate articles for other types (articulated hauler and haul truck) so no reason this should be an exception. The Dump truck article is about File:Foden tipper.jpg and similar vehicles; Dumper is vehicles such as File:Thwaites dumper in action 498 3.jpg.

- Merge. SIZE issues aren't really the purview of AfD (and even if they were, dump truck is only 3000 words of prose, not where you'd need a split, and the splits still have to be notable.) Beyond that, the article fails to demonstrate it meets the general notability guideline.
