This character looks a bit popular for Bioshock. But before the result shows only merchandise and costume or being cosplayed. This source is a bit good [1], but it looks like another typical listicle with a short commentary. Nothing else. I may be wrong at Google Scholar thou. Greenish Pickle! (🔔) 23:46, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Merge with United States container ports or List of ports in the United States? Article overlaps with and isn't distinct enough from the other two. मल्ल (talk) 14:28, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

- Agree with Jfire, just redirect it to List of ports in the United States. This is so outdated with so little info, it's hardly worth keeping, but a bold merge of what's relevant seems appropriate. Reywas92Talk 20:05, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Micro-denomination with two churches. Citations are exclusively to primary sources or to outdated sources of questionable independence and reliability. Participants in the 2013 AfD discussion highlighted the availability of coverage in Melton's Encyclopedia of American Religions (8th edition, 2009), page 252, but the coverage is so cursory that I do not believe it qualifies as "encyclopedic" coverage for purposes of establishing notability. (Citations to the two-paragraph Melton mention were never added in the first place.) The Melton source is based on a list of Reformed entities, most of which are not notable, published in 1999 (see here). I cannot identify other independent, secondary, reliable sources that verify the notability of this denomination. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:20, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

The result was redirect to List of mayors of Cairns. as an ATD. Liz Read! Talk! 01:29, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

So, mayors are not inherently notable under WP:NPOL, neither in WP:NSUBPOL. They have to pass WP:GNG to qualify for a standalone entry. This is currently not the case here as this subject fails GNG as a matter of fact. The current sources, with the exception of Cairnes Post, do not satisfy WP:SIGCOV. This is supposed to be simple for someone who understands WP:NPOL works. Cairns as a city is not significantly large based on population census. Overall, mayors should simply not be kept if they do not pass WP:GNG all in the name of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Just to be fair, a WP:BEFORE did not return anything useful also.

- Comments - again, one of these marginal situations that, if there were better sourcing, I could go with a keep. Cairns is a big regional city in the northeastern side of Australia. Right now, I don't see any secondary sources. Bearian (talk) 16:24, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Just added a number of additional sources if that helps Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 12:07, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. NPOL is simply for presumed notability—not meeting the blanket presumption does not mean someone is not notable. The nominator concedes that the Cairns Post meets SIGCOV, and the ABC obviously meets it too. More broadly, and at the risk of opening a larger conversation, I think the presumption of notability needs to be reconsidered insofar as we apply it to Australian mayors. I readily acknowledge we are in a grey zone: mayors of microscopic rural WA councils are not inherently notable, but I contend mayors of significant population centres are notable—not just lord mayors of capital cities but also those of significant population centres like Cairns, which is the main urban area for a vast geographical region. For mine, any mayor of an LGA acknowledged as a city in Australia should be presumed notable; Australia does not abuse the "city" designation like, say, the US does, where a place with 10 people will be "X City". The idea Cairns is not a significant population centre is ludicrous; it is a major tourism destination and has one of the busiest airports in Australia (the second-busiest non-capital airport, busier than 3/8 state and territory capitals). It seems absurd to me that Wikipedia has pages for individual episodes of TV shows but would delete the profile of a mayor of a Queensland city. We lose nothing by including an article on a mayor of a major population centre. Axver (talk) 11:41, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason for keeping. Comparing mayors to TV shows is far fetched. The fact that Cairns has a busy airport somehow relates to the notability of the Mayor? LibStar (talk) 09:40, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Axver: "
...I contend mayors of significant population centres are notable...
– If that's your belief, one which I don't believe is widely held, then you should propose an amendment to WP:NPOL. As of now, that's simply not how it works. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:32, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Super Mario. This is pretty evenly split but the informal source analysis helped tilt this to a Redirect closure rather than another relisting. My hope is that since the content remains, an editor(s) can get going on creating Super Mario Universe and later Merge this content into that new article. Liz Read! Talk! 22:53, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to Super Mario. There's nothing really being said in the article and I trust in the previous redirector's judgement of the potential sourcing state. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 23:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Merge or Draftify. As of right now there is nothing on this article that seems to suggest that the subject of this article holds enough water to stay up. This article is mostly filled with primary, situational or even unreliable sources. The only two positive sources here are the GamesRadar+ sources and even then one is a listicle. Now, I am not entirely sure if there is WP:SIGCOV for this subject, it wouldn't surprise me if there is but it would likely take quite a while to find the necessary coverage, which is what prompted me to suggest a draft because I believe the subject does have potential. But as of right now, I think any useful information from this article should be merged into the Mario (franchise) article, as it was redirected towards two weeks ago. CaptainGalaxy 23:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- To clarify, the problem with listicle articles is that often it's about one entry on the list, making it trivial coverage. For example, if an article lists "50 greatest Mario characters"... obviously, almost all characters of any import would be included. However, the listicle would still be quite significant if we were talking about a character list that needed reception. In this case, the listicles are entirely about the Mushroom Kingdom, and it's not a "10 best Mario areas" situation. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:01, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- That is a problem with listicles, but not the only one. Listicles are often a hallmark of low-quality and low-effort content farms, or in other words an indicator of a lack of seriousness and significance of coverage. xkcd's quip about the "17 worst haircuts in the Ottoman Empire" comes to mind. They typically do not in themselves indicate notability either of the individual entries or the overarching topic. TompaDompa (talk) 10:00, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'm aware that the listicle is about the Mushroom Kingdom, but the problem I'm having with this is that the entries on this list are very surface level in terms of coverage, or that they aren't worth mentioning. In my opinion, it's quite fancruft-y. CaptainGalaxy 10:26, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Gotta love the snobbery here: GNG is met, but these aren't serious RS'es, so they don't count. Fancruft argument here is circular: looks like what some editors consider badly written Wikipedia article, therefore cannot be an RS. Sorry, folks, that's not how RS works. We judge Wikipedia by them, not them by Wikipedia. Jclemens (talk) 03:37, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- It's perfectly possible for a usually-reliable outlet to produce non-reliable content (and vice versa, for the matter), which I'm sure you're aware of. Likewise, it is possible for WP:Reliable sources to fail to produce WP:Significant coverage, which I'm also sure you're aware of. Furthermore, meeting WP:GNG (or some other standard for WP:Notability, as the case may be) does not necessarily mean that a topic is appropriate for stand-alone articles—sometimes we have a WP:NOPAGE situation. TompaDompa (talk) 04:04, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't think that this would be needed for a long-standing editor, but describing people's AfD arguments as "snobbery" is a deeply explicit violation of WP:CIVILITY. If you aren't able to engage with the things people say without making these kinds of comments, I'm not sure you should really be commenting on things. It's also not snobbery, as TompaDompa points out, which makes the claim extra confusing. It is not snobbery to say that offering trivial coverage of a subject is of lower value, it's a common sense observation. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 11:52, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

- Keep Deletion is not cleanup. The article may not be in a good state but the topic is quite notable. I found articles from Kill Screen, GamesRadar+, TheGamer and that's totally ignoring stuff like ScreenRant that is debatably notable as they have an article on it too. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 02:29, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I really would not use that weirdly in-universe-feeling TheGamer listicle for establishing notablity (as per discussion here) but wow, that Kill Screen article is amazing and exactly what I needed back when I failed to improve this article. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 08:29, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect/Merge to Super Mario. I tried cleaning up the article about a year ago, but gave up when I realized that strictly "cleaning up" the article would cut it down to almost nothing - pretty much the whole article would have to be redone. Sergecross73 msg me 02:32, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I haven't done a WP:BEFORE yet, so for now, I'm looking at what is present.
I'll put it in a collapsible list to save space. - The Evening Standard is verifying information and is not about the Mushroom Kingdom, not GNG-relevant.
- The next source includes info about its use in the theme park, which is generally understood to not be relevant to GNG (also article is not about the Mushroom Kingdom).
- The next two sources are Nintendo sources.
- The GamesRadar+ source seems to primarily discuss factual information. It represents a show that staff deemed the kingdom worthwhile to talk about, but there's also not much to be gained from the source for the article.
- The Gamer source talks about information about Mushroom Kingdom, but does not themselves have anything to say about it. It's yet again an article about the Mushroom Kingdom, but not only does it provide only so much content to be included, being The Gamer makes it dubious as a show of significance.
- 25YL source only talks about factual information, and the article is not about the Mushroom Kingdom.
- The Advocate source is about Toad, not Mushroom Kingdom, and is only to verify the existence of a character in the Mushroom Kingdom.
- The second The Gamer source is just about Goombas, while the Forbes article is just about verifying that coins are a currency of the Mushroom Kingdom.
- The second GamesRadar+ article seems at first a significant source, but to be honest, it does not strike me as such. The article is primarily about a location **within** the Mushroom Kingdom, and discusses the Mushroom Kingdom only minimally.
- The Smashbros.com source is a primary source used to verify the existence of a "Mushroom Kingdom" stage.
- Keeping this one out because I feel it's an important part of the assessment, as it's what seems like the strongest show of notability on the surface. Finally, the Kill Screen source is one that, once again, feels like a source that is about Mushroom Kingdom, but in reality, is using it as an opportunity to discuss things that happen within it. Looking at the 'Development' section, the article is sourced to talk about the Super Mushroom, the designs of the castles (mainly Peach's Castle - honestly if that was an article I'd maybe think it'd have a chance), Mario enemies, and the Super Leaf. The Mushroom Kingdom appears to be an umbrella for these potentially notable topics to be discussed, but I think counting stuff like Koopa Troopas and the Super Leaf as showing the notability of Mushroom Kingdom is a pretty big stretch. It seems to me like an article with weak sourcing is trying to use whatever it can to inflate it, and to me, the proof of this is that Mario's design inspirations and ideas, despite being covered under "Mushroom Kingdom" like Koopa Troopa was, it would rightly feel odd.
- In its current state, the article is extremely weak, with very little in the way of commentary, let alone notability. Most of the article is taking brief mentions to verify factual information about the setting, to the point that the article has exactly zero instances of anyone having anything to say about the setting themselves. I'm holding off on voting until Zx does some more work to address notability issues, as well as for me to do my own searching (especially Japanese sources, those can often be rather surprising). - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 10:48, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sadly, I have been feeling the same way. There being no reception on the general design characteristics of the world (rounded hills, bright-green grass, lots of brown bricks) has always been the main pain for me here. If no one's talking about the Mushroom Kingdom being a blue skyed utopia or something along those lines, there's just so little to work with... ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 13:05, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sources about locations within the Mushroom Kingdom still count as proof of notability for the Kingdom itself. The argument that they could never possibly do so is a bit ludicrous in my eyes and feels like a no true Scotsman-type argument. I doubt Peach's Castle can support an article, but this is the most obvious place to put that information by far. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:24, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- But I don't get why you think that, when the two sources that appear like significant coverage provide more sigcov on Peach's Castle than the Mushroom Kingdom. It's not a matter of saying that a source has to do a deep dive into the Mushroom Kingdom to be notable, but fact is, the argument for Princess Peach's Castle's notability is more adequately proven in the Mushroom Kingdom article than the argument for notability of the Mushroom Kingdom itself. The GamesRadar+ source doesn't even make sense, because the commentary in that article is almost entirely, if not entirely, focused on how it makes players feel to explore and experience the castle, about how they make it more lived in compared to Dinosaur Land. The article discusses it not as a setting, but as a level, and how it influences other Mario levels. As far as notability goes, there are multiple reliable sources about modding Peach's Castle into other games, there is creation info relating to how it was possibly going to serve as the basis for Ocarina's setup, multiple sources about how it was a significant part of why Super Mario 64 was a special game, multiple sources about a financial assessment of what Peach's Castle would be worth in real life, articles praising it as a standout hub world in gaming, and more. I find the notion that there's more to the article now compared to what I've found for Peach's Castle kind of incredulous!
- I also do not believe remotely that sources for locations in the Mushroom Kingdom count as overall notability; at what point does that extend to, say, Mushroom World, the encompassing world of the Mario universe? Is Lordran notable because Anor Lando is notable? We can't argue that a location in a space makes that space notable, the only thing that can be used to say a location is notable is if we have reliable, significant secondary coverage of it. As it stands, and in the sources I've searched so far, there is virtually nothing that critics are saying about the setting. Based on what little I've found in my source search, I don't really feel like this article comes close to notability. As it is, all of the content is just descriptions of the setting and things that happen to exist in the setting. Redirect to Super Mario. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 15:28, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I do personally think this article serves as a coatrack (just don't look at that guideline) for the entire Super Mario setting, similar to a "Universe of .." article. I am quite happy with sources that dive into specific details from the Mushroom Kingdom, such as Peach' castle or even its cast of critters. I'm just not very happy with listicles that try to explain in-universe oddities between games or take those oddities literally. The Mushroom Kingdom isn't a kingdom. It doesn't have a clearly defined monarch or even any towns, and a source that suggests that Bowser used to be the king or some stuff like that I just can't take seriously... ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 06:17, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to Super Mario per Cukie Gherkin's analysis. I do not agree with the idea that locations within a place can be used unsupported to make an article about the place itself. ― novov (t c) 04:08, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect as to someone who redirected this article before and per Cukie's analysis. I don't feel like the other sources were good except for Killscreen, though that talks about Mario and Koopa Troopa's design. not really that helpful, but at least we have a good source right there.

- Redirect - Per Cukie Gherkin. There is, in fact, a source analysis above by Cukie Gherkin, but the list is hidden to save screen space. The article was updated on the same day as this analysis, but no new sources have been. That analysis addressed the independence of sources and correctly discounts Nintendo sources. It also addresses SIGCOV of the remaining sources, and is in line with my own view. Most of the sources are not about the page subject but merely mention it. Reliability is raised over a source that does speak directly about it, and even where the subject is addressed, there are SIGCOV issues. I think this source analysis is good enough, unrebutted, and indicates that a redirect would be the best outcome here. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:45, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect I find redirecting to Super Mario fine where the subject is being mentioned. --Tumbuka Arch (talk) 12:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep I'm surprised that there isn't a Super Mario Universe article or something of the like. There are lots of sources that talk about this fictional universe, and an entire book called "The World of Mario Bros" (which would be another valid redirect).[2] I see at least one more good source from Zxcvbnm, and arguably more. I can find at least a few more myself.[3][4][5] I feel pretty confident that sources exist out there if this is approached as the main article for the game universe. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:09, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- This is currently the equivalent of "Universe of Super Mario", as it is the primary setting of the franchise. It could be a reasonable move, but that's a separate discussion. These sources have a lot of potential, though you did post the same Shacknews article twice. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 11:40, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep I don't really see a rationale provided in the nomination, but I assume this is about notability. The sources found in this discussion and partially present provide enough coverage to be able to write a full encyclopedic article, so I see WP:GNG fulfilled. AfD is not clean-up, and some clean-up has already happened since the nomination. Which also leads to that all opinions which say that the Killscreen article is a good source but still !vote for redirect are contradictory and in conflict with WP:AtD: If that's a good source, what has now been added based on that source should at least be merged. Daranios (talk) 15:17, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think people !voting merge or redirect are praising Killscreen. I see that happening with a single editor. Meanwhile, I've made the argument that the Killscreen source does not say much at all. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 20:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Cukie Gherkin: Sorry, I misread a name, so yes, only one opinion praising Killscreen but !voting redirect. Thanks for point that out. The fact that a reasonable paragraph of background has been created from that source shows me that it should not be discounted. And with all the sources listed, both above and more recently, as well as other sources containing short analysis like Geography and Maps, p. 99, or Material Game Studies: A Philosophy of Analogue Play (adaption into other media) can easily support a full article together, therefore fulfilling WP:WHYN. Always with the fact in mind that sources do not need to have the subject as their main topic. Daranios (talk) 10:27, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

- Strong oppose: Must say I'm surprised to see this nominated – a famous song in Britain, where it was a hit twice. Through its European chart success (again, twice) I think it demonstrates notability and at least suggests the article could be easily expanded.

- Keep: I'm assuming most sourcing is in paper sources. Some hits from the very early 2000s, when the song was already old [8], [9]. One review here that i can't open [10]. With the more than extensive proof of it charting, I think we're at notability. Oaktree b (talk) 00:22, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - The song charted on 4 national charts, two of which were in their top 20. Common sense would dictate that sourcing exists for a song of that sort of popularity (as mentioned above, likely in hard copy paper sources since the song is from the early 1990s.) Sergecross73 msg me 00:26, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: this is still a well known song in the UK, easily the band's biggest hit (and I'm not sure why this would be moved to Martin Coogan's article rather than the Mock Turtles, who are far better known as a band than Coogan is as an individual, or the Turtle Soup album). I've found reviews of the song in Melody Maker issue 2 March 1991 and Record Mirror issue 9 March 1991. Richard3120 (talk) 01:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

- Keep - In agreement with everyone above. Before the nomination, the article may have needed some expansion and cleanup, but even so, it still had plenty of evidence of chart placements that easily satisfy the requirements for a notable song.

- Keep: I have made substantial improvements and added better sources and information.

- Comment I don't see any improvements in this article at all; it remains full of pointless filler about a merger that never happened or came close to closing (and doesn't speak anything about how Sun Life itself thought about the idea), and there remains only one blue link in the entire body of the article below the lede, leaving the reader completely lost and confused about what on earth is being talked about here (what is ULIP?), a complete dismissal of their Internet presence (who goes to a branch to buy insurance? Branch count is nigh pointless these days), and the usual financial figures that are already out of date and I can easily ascertain will not be updated further. And it also remains an orphan article with no incoming links. Nate • (chatter) 21:02, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- AFD is not intended for cleanup. If the financial figures are outdated or the article lacks Wikilinks, or if the article is orphaned because it is not linked to any other Wikipedia page, all these issues can be easily addressed through discussion on the article's talk page or by using various templates to highlight these issues. We can either resolve these issues ourselves or leave them to others. Wikipedia is a collaborative project. Regarding financials, there are numerous articles available on the internet about financials, and they can be easily updated or expanded upon. As you mentioned, "What is ULIP," ULIP stands for Unit-Linked Insurance Plan, which is an insurance product that offers both insurance and investment benefits, and it is already Wikilinked. Anyone can click on this blue link to learn more about it. These issues can be resolved quite easily, and they should not be grounds for merging the article with another Wikipedia article.ChaiSK (talk) 12:01, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

- It doesn't inspire confidence in the article's notability when keep advocates just... make things up? The company is not in the NIFTY 50, as can very easily be checked. Not sure what Abualsarmad was thinking here? – Teratix ₵ 14:25, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Merge/redirect to Sun Life Financial#India seems like the sensible option as WP:ATD, none of the references in the article meet GNG/WP:NCORP criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 10:03, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to Sun Life Financial#India. The closer needs to know whether it is merge or redirect. I think the first two paragraphs of the history could be merged with the target without unbalancing the target and without getting too specific. This is a merge then. The merge edsum in page history will also act as a flag to available page history should the target be expanded in the future. It is not notable for an article of its own as we do not have sufficient sources or evidence of notability under NCORP. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:25, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Another former mayor of Cairns Region who does not meet point 2 of WP:NPOL and does not appear to meet WP:GNG. As a local elected official, they are not considered inherently notable and the coverage that I'm finding all appears to be fairly routine. This person also has a shortened term (4 months) compared to most mayors because they were appointed to the position to finish out the term of the retiring mayor and then lost re-election.

This self-proclaimed 'motivational' speaker doesn't seems to meet WP:GNG. This same story also states he has "no credentials or experience." Most of the media coverage he's received stem from his controversial appointment as chairman of the Lahore Arts Council, which itself isn't a notable position or office. Additionally, while there is some press coverage on "Qasim Ali Shah" it's difficult to say if it all pertains to this same individual, given the commonality of the name in Pakistan.

Currently unsourced except for IMDB. Searches reveal that there were sources in the 1990s but nothing now than can be accessed. Probably needs somebody with access to a newspaper library in Manhattan to trawl through old papers. Without that, it fails WP:GNG and for the moment it is probably better to delete and re-create later if sources can be found and quoted. Velella Velella Talk 14:58, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on whether they're already in the article or not, so I fail to understand the nominator's distinction between "searches reveal that there were sources in the 1990s" and "but nothing now than can be accessed" — if you have searched and found that sources did exist, then it doesn't matter whether you can personally access them or not, and the fact that they exist is good enough. If you really want to help, then certainly list what you found on a talk page so that a willing party who does have the ability to find said sources knows what you saw, but if you did find sources there's no debate left to be had.
And yes, some of the referencing here is to the show's own website — but since all of those are being used to cite quotes from reliable source media outlets about the show, literally all that has to be done to resolve those is revising them so that they're citing the original content instead of the primary source reprint of it. And since we do not have a rule that all of our footnotes have to be googlable web pages, but rather we are allowed to cite print-only content without hotlinking it anywhere, the fact that you can't find another web page still doesn't matter either: literally all you have to do is locate the title of the original piece, by any means possible, and abracadabra.
For my part, I've already found two more sources that weren't already in the article, including being able to knock out one of the primary sources by locating the original content.

This at first glance looks like a tiny town from the pattern of streets (namely, that there are any), but after further examination, it doesn't look right; it looks like they are really just driveways for a few properties. Anyway, every reference to it I've come across calls it a station on the Big Four, including the one cited in the article. The line is gone now, converted to a trail.

James.folsom (talk) 20:23, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Not much more I can do with it. The 1950 census doesn't have a populated place called Hazelrigg. Donald's marriage license [12] doesn't mention Hazelrigg at all. There are two obituaries out there that state they were married Hazelrigg, but obituaries are not always reliable. There are not any other sources than GNIS. So there still isn't any reliable source that says it exists. The marriage announcement might be useful if anyone could find it. James.folsom (talk) 20:52, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. I did an old-school trip to the local library this weekend and found plenty of material affirming that Hazelrigg is indeed an actual town which, though small, has a long and documented history. (Please feel free to browse the references section.) Multiple history books identify it as a notable stopping point on the Big Four that grew from a station into a small town with residences, businesses, and a post office. It was also hit during the infamous 1965 Palm Sunday tornado outbreak and visited by Governor Branigin. I've gotten a start on expanding the article and have added some photos as well, but will continue to expand and refine it. I think the material so far sufficiently establishes that Hazelrigg (unlike some others) is a bona fide community and that retaining the article is merited. ╠╣uw [talk] 23:25, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Merge with STCW ConventionA basic explanation can be merged, but this topic lacks significant coverage in reliable sources.

The article notes: "Until early 2020, she was splitting her time between her native Hong Kong and Tokyo, where she served as the driving culinary force behind a Nishiazabu restaurant backed by a Tokyo-based restaurateur and event planning consortium. When her annual contract she’d signed the year before was up for renewal, Choy found herself faced with a difficult decision: continue working as a cog in a successful, larger culinary operation or reclaim everything for herself. ... Despite the magnitude of the decision, Choy was no amateur embarking out on her own. It had been years since she had left her previous career as an office worker behind to focus on cooking, and she already had much to show for it. Choy’s 2018 cookbook, “Grace’s 60 Recipes,” earned the Best Woman Chef Book designation by the Gourmand Awards the following year, and CNN once described her private kitchen back in Hong Kong as one of that city’s best kept hidden gems. She also partners with several premium culinary brands — an explanation for all her Le Creuset cookware she puts to great use."

- Keep per WP:HEY. Dramatic improvements have been edited in. Great job. Bearian (talk) 14:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Draftify I don't see the HEY at all. The article does not do a good job at explaining what she is primarily known for, or giving biographical background. Four out of nine sources currently in the article are primary, as far as I can tell. The top 10s are hardly in-depth, or at best indicate that the restaurant, and not the chef, should be the article subject. There is still promotional and vague material: "Choy appeared as a guest chef at various platforms, including government events, charity functions, and 5-star hotels. What does that amount to? Now, Cunard's sources are something else, but seeing as the article is fairly new and that there was a small scuffle to move it in and out of draft space, the best course of action (and maybe for the creator to learn more) would be place it firmly in draft space, and craft this page a little less hastily through the whole Articles for Creation process.

- Keep. The Japan Times article is a 1000-word feature on her.

- There's also a lack of information in English language about this club, similar to other lower clubs from Egypt, so having a separate article for this and other similar clubs may be best for readers, to have at least a glimpse of information of that club.

- Comment: Even if the article does not seem to show notability, we need to practice WP:BEFORE to see if this character has coverage by reliable sources. Sometimes enough details exist to warrant a standalone article. If not, then it could be possible to have a List of Mad Max characters that would have sections for all characters; summary sections for those with their own articles, and full sections for characters that don't have their own article. See List of Smallville characters as an example.
- I know there's a book out there called Mad Max and Philosophy, and "Nux" is mentioned in it 37 times, which seems like a lot to just be happenstance from reciting the film's events. In the book Trauma and Disability in Mad Max: Beyond the Road Warrior’s Fury, "Nux" is mentioned 12 times. There seem to be more possible results in Google Books/Scholar to at least warrant a section on a list of characters, which I'm a little surprised we don't have, considering some characters that seem reasonably iconic (to me, at least).

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Many listed are not called "Genocides". Simply not a topic/article for mainspace creation in its current state.....should at least be moved to draft because of the contentious nature of the topic that has no sources elevating many items here to genocide. Article scope is all over the place under a very contentious title that is simple not ready for public viewing in any manner.Moxy🍁 05:58, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- I acknowledge that Article Scope requires refinement however I disagree with the notion that it should be deleted as a result.
- As mentioned in Talk:Genocides Involving the Ottoman Empire:
- Everything listed is self-defined on its own page and List of genocides as to whether or not they are (or are not) a genocide.
- Wouldn't the contention belong on their individual pages as opposed to this page?
- The page in its current state barely provides any raw content of its own and is almost entirely a collection of other pages.
- I believe the page should be renamed and turned into a more specifically scoped outline of information collected to provide a jump-off point for the many topics that have existing pages related to the attempted-scope OR potentially merge it with Late Ottoman genocides though the original content-intent of this page was not the same as the latter's.
- Frankly, there are a lot of pages about wars, political history, "anti-x sentiment," timeline of events, etc. generally related to this topic and they're outlined in this page because that was the intent, to kinda put them all in one reference page together.

- Delete: some of the items in this list obviously don’t belong (like if we created a list called Genocides Involving the British Empire including the Sinking of the Belgrano) and others would lead to years of timewasting arguments if the list was kept. I have no objection if anyone wants to create an “Alleged genocides” category and add that category to articles already in category “xxxxx Empire”.

- Delete: It's an unsourced mess. The genocides of the Albanians and Circassians are likely irrelevant. The rest are discussed as part of the late Ottoman genocides. No prejudice to changing my vote to draftify, but then, I believe this should be rewritten/reorganized/etc. and moved to List of massacres in the Ottoman Empire as there are already lists with this name and focus such as List of massacres in the Soviet Union.

- Delete This page is just a politically charged nonsense mess. Armenian genocide, Sayfo, Greek genocide are historical facts, we don't reject this massacres. But this page is against Wikipedia's source citing and page layout rules. There are already categories like [Category:Turkish war crimes], [Category:Ottoman war crimes], [Category:Massacres in the Ottoman Empire]. And there are already pages like Turkish war crimes, and Late Ottoman genocides. So why was it necessary to open such a page? I can understand the good intentions of User:Armeym who opened this page, but my advice to Armeym is that when someone is doing this kind of detailed archive work, it should do a long work and write a detailed text and post it here. and I have one more little caveat that I don't want anyone to take offense to: **YOU SHOULD NOT PRIORITIZE YOUR OWN POLITICAL VIEWS WHEN OPENING A PAGE ON THE WIKIPEDIA** — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2alp (talk • contribs) 09:08, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Delete or redirect to Military campaigns of Hari Singh Nalwa. Out of the 5 sources on this page, only 2 are reliable; Hari Ram Gupta and Rishi Singh. The two other sources: "Journal of the United Service Institution of India" as well as "Selections from the records of the government of Punjab" are WP:RAJ era sources written in the 1800s, so under no circumstances can we use them. The last source is a Google books snapshot with no preview available either on Google books or anywhere else on the Internet. Such snapshots have been deprecated in the reliable sources noticeboard.
The coverage in both Hari Ram Gupta's and Rishi Singh's work, the extent of which are only small, singular paragraphs does not justify an entire Wikipedia article and fails Wikipedia's standards for notability-[23] Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 10:51, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 05:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)- Keep: if an event has 2 reliable independent sources with significant coverage that is enough to presume notability per GNG. I don't see what the issue is here. I'd also note that WP:RAJ is just an essay and that it refers to the use of certain Raj-era sources to source content on the caste system. It does not mean that all such sources are can never be used for anything.
- Jtrrs0 (talk) 16:07, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @Jtrrs0:, I think there's a misunderstanding, the two reliable sources (Hari Rm Gupta and Rishi Singh) do not have significant coverage, hence my nomination for deletion. Both sources only have one small, vague paragraph that provides no in-depth details about the battle.
- Here is what Hari Ram Gupta says of the battle:
"Having failed at Peshawar, Sayyid Ahmad planned to seize Attock fort from the Sikhs. Its possession by him would automatically clear Hazara and Peshawar from the Sikhs, and it would open the gateway for the invasion of the Panjab. Khadi Khan of Hund secretly alerted the Sikh commander of the fort, and the plan fell through. Sayyid Ahmad, in anger attacked the village Haidru, and put to the sword all the inhabitants, both Hindus and Muslims. On hearing this news Hari Singh Nalwa suddenly appeared on the scene and massacred nearly three-fourths of Khalifa's Ghazis. Sayyid Ahmad managed to escape to the west of the Indus."
- Rishi Singh says:
"It appears that even when he seemed successful, Syed Ahmad began losing his control over the tribal leadership. Many tribal chiefs began betraying him. For instance, at the time of taking over the fort of Attock, Khadi Khan of Hund alerted the Sikh commander, Hari Singh Nalwa, who with his 20,000 men attacked Syed Ahmad’s forces and killed three-fourths of the Khalifa’s Ghazis".
- As you can see the coverage in both sources fall well short of Wikipedia's SIGCOV requirements.
- The rest of the sources were published in the 1800s and are simply far too old to use. WP:RAJ is an essay, but it's essentially a de facto policy and widely accepted norm in South Asian topic areas, even outside of caste topics. You can see through the reliable sources noticeboard that WP:RAJ sources are thoroughly deprecated and disallowed on Wikipedia-[24]. @RegentsPark:, an admin involved in SA topics, could also clarify, or you could take it up with him to confirm. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 21:51, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi thanks for the ping and the reply. I see. Re SIGCOV, I would agree. This doesn't necessarily seem like SIGCOV. Re WP:RAJ, I've had a quick glance at the discussion on the Noticeboard. To me it seems overkill to say that 1800s sources can never be used or must be used as primary sources. I accept that that should be the case re anthropological subjects but for everything? Seems excessive to me. Now, if the consensus is that they are never to be used for anything (would be grateful if RegentsPark could confirm) then I'll happily reconsider my position, but to my eyes that's excessive. Jtrrs0 (talk) 08:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Jtrrs0: I understand your concerns but sources authored in the 1800s are plain and simple not allowed in this topic area of Wikipedia. Even sources in the early 1900s are granted some leeway if they were authored by very prominent Indian historians, but the sources in this page were written British administrators in the framework of the British polity. RegentsPark has also stated: "In short, I would suggest discounting most Raj era texts regardless of who wrote them and be careful about using obscure or popular texts post-Raj. Sticking to modern academic writers is probably the safest. Context, to quote TB below, matters." and "Thanks Sitush. @Suthasianhistorian8 and Twarikh e Khalsa:, in short, the consensus is that neither McAuliffe nor Gurbilas Patashahi are reliable sources and you should not use them. In general avoid raj era sources entirely and, for historical content, use only recent sources since historiography is not static.". Keep in mind, Max Arthur MacAuliffe was a British administrator and historian who authored his works on Indian religion in 1909, the sources in this article predate that by 20 and 34 years. They're no where near being recent or modern scholarship.

- Keep. Two reliables sources and others are all unreliable like Journal of the United Service Institution of India from 1890 and other by CAPTAIN P. L. N. CAVAGNARI, a British captain/administrator. The combination of two reliable sources by Gupta and Singh give the why, when, where and outcome of the battle, enough for passing WP:GNG. RangersRus (talk) 15:13, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- Note to closer: I've previously expressed concerns that RangersRus is a sockpuppet of HaughtonBrit, an incredibly pertinacious sockmaster who created dozens of sock/burner accounts ranging from early 2023 till present day, and someone who has been hounding and trying to sabotage me unceasingly since his sock accounts Javerine and Ralx888 were blocked. I most recently dealt with his sock account Dekhoaayadon who was blocked just a few days ago. His vote here is reminiscent of the frivolous arguments and WP:IDHT which HB frequently employed to frustrate me and many others to retain articles/edit which aggrandized the Sikh religion as much as possible- he is blatantly trying to sabotage me here. He has done this on 3 separate occasions. Once the current HB SPI report (which is closely linked to Dekhoaayadon) is dealt with I will ask admins to take a look at RangersRus' duck edits. Enough is enough. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 23:02, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. Closer, this is case of WP:BULLY and revenge threat to stop me from voting. All editors have right to vote here and I have voted on AFDS by Suthasianhistorian8 before in his favor where I found the nomination to be right. When I vote against because I do not see the nomination to be right, he makes this sock threats. Suthasianhistorian8 filed SPI before for same reason that two admins @The Wordsmith: and @Drmies: found no connection [25]. Suthasianhistorian8 also filed incident of Administrator noticeboard against The Wordsmith for misunderstanding his SPI case and the incident was closed with closing statement "No consensus has or will emerge to find fault with TheWordsmith's or Drmies' SPI findings." [26]. Suthasianhistorian8 also did forum shopping and WP:OTHERPARENT to try to block me with revenge SPI case. Suthasianhistorian8 has no problem with my vote when in his favor but has one with not in his favor. RangersRus (talk) 00:00, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- All I can say to everyone involved is to wait for the SPI I will file. This time I will put much more effort into making it concise and thorough as possible; last time I made the mistake of writing things off the top of my head, I won't do that next time. Lastly, a CU check was never ran on RangersRus, only a behavioural analysis was done- HB's sock accounts like Finmas & Dazzem were previously also deemed unrelated, but were later blocked on the grounds of duck edits with HB's IPs, proxies and SPAs. Historian2325, another suspected sock account, was also checked last year and was found to be unrelated, but since then he's made numerous duck edits and will likely also be blocked.

Relisting comment: Final relist. It is not appropriate to accuse an editor of being a sockpuppet in an AFD discussion. If you have concerns, file a case at SPI. If there is no confirmation of sockpuppetry through an SPI, then you are just trying to tarnish the reputation of an editor which is a personal attack. Please conduct a discussion elsewhere.

- Delete the AFR coverage is actually OK, but it's just one source – we need multiple sources to satisfy NCORP. Apart from the AFR, there are a few promising pieces (SmartCompany being a representative example) but they're all ultimately too reliant on information from company spokespeople to be properly independent. There's a bit of coverage in region-specific sources (e.g. New Zealand, Orange, and Coventry newspapers) that take the angle "company brings jobs to region", but again these reports rely too heavily on these spokespeople and don't provide independent analysis. I don't necessarily agree Gartner coverage contributes to notability; I would need to see what specific coverage is relied upon. Deloitte Fast 50 is a clearly trivial source.
- It's closer than many businesses to passing NCORP, but it's not yet there. In the end, the version of this article put up for deletion was so grossly promotional and undersourced that we're not losing much by deleting it. – Teratix ₵ 14:05, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, although the company has been mentioned by analyst firms, for example Gartner (Magic Quadrant for BI and Analytics Platforms 2015 - company only gets a mere mention in the "Other Modern" category) and Forrester Wave Enterprise Business Intelligence Platforms 2015, neither conducted an in-depth review of the company nor their product, so those reports fail the criteria for establisting notability.

- ABC (Australia) - profile[44]

- This is sufficient for me to upgrade by opinion from 'weak keep' to 'keep'. Verbcatcher (talk) 00:40, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the links Verbcatcher. Can I please point out that a majority of these links are profiles which the artist themselves uploads info on. These are not independent articles. For instance the ABC (Australia) link is a Triple J site where local musicians can create their own profile and upload their own bio, photos and 2x songs. This is the same with CD Baby, which is a platform you upload your own music onto, again writing your own bio.
- The Bluescat review seems very obscure. The review is amongst dozens of other albums listed and doesn't seem to make sense, maybe it is a translated review?
- The Australian Musician review describes a small outback pub performance in Australia and the Australian musician articles seem to mostly list actual well known people this artist has met or paid to meet. V260z (talk) 11:28, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep the artist has released at least two albums, has been a member of notable bands, has toured both Australia and other nations. I've added some content and refs (some mentioned above) as well as his AllMusic entry (from ELs). Passes WP:MUSICBIO.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:41, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- These citations you've added most have nothing to do with the subject.
- Examples:
- Reference 1: Does not even load a page. This has been used to reference his birthplace and date.
- Reference 2: Displays 1 sentence from an Australian rural news site and states a time and place the artist is performing for one concert in 2007. This has been used to reference his birth place and date in the article?
- Reference 3: Is actually 2x references and is an unrelated Swedish Casino site. This has been used to cite other artists the subject has allegedly performed with.
- Reference 5: Is an article about Fleetwood Mac. It is used to cite the subject almost joined Fleetwood Mac, yet no such occurrence is mentioned in the article.
- A majority of these other added references are simply a listing of one of his albums and a track list.
- Notability criteria requirements:
- 1. Appears in non trivial published works which are reliable. Not including press releases or articles in which the subject talks about themselves. (for example reference 4) The referenced articles that are not casino sites or self published are interviews of the subject talking about themselves.
- Your analysis here is faulty. Two of the AllMusic refs describe the artist and reveiw an album. Neither are interviews or casino sites.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 10:00, 22 March 2024 (UTC)10:01, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- 2. Had a single or album in the charts of any country. No charting single or album cited.
- 3. Had a gold record in at least one country. No citation of a gold record award. Not listed on RIAA website.
- 4. Has received non trivial coverage of at least one international concert tour. No independent coverage of a major international tour.
- 5. Released 2x records on a major record label. You mentioned this, but none of those albums were released through Warner, Universal, Sony or any majors. No, they are not signed to any major or significant label. They are self published works.
- 6. This doesn't apply to the subject as he is a solo artist.
- 7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city. Seems to be a nomad, not part of any "particular city's scene"
- 8. Has won a Grammy award or similar. Not listed on Grammy nominations website.
- 9. Has won first, second, or third place in a MAJOR music competition. No, haven't seen any awards.
- 10.Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, such as a theme for a network television show. No, haven't seen cited work used in media.
- 11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network. No evidence of radio airplay. - No, haven't seen evidence of radio play.
- 12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network. - No, haven't seen any Television segments. V260z (talk) 02:06, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- I dispute your analysis of some refs.
- Loads fine for me. AGF?
- One sentence? Whole article is on the subject. Rural news site? As part of Fairfax Media it was accessible Australia-wide.
- Swedish casino site? You're probably looking at its original url, which had been hi-jacked long ago. Archived url should take you to database site. This confirms membership of Swanee and Stevie Wright Band.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:01, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- I dispute your analysis of some refs.
- I fully agree that the article has a lot of problems, but still think the subject is notable, so maybe improving the article would be better than deleting it? I created the article back then because I was impressed when I saw him at a festival, but I haven't followed him closely, and I won't throw a tantrum if the article is deleted.

- Keep based on current articles such as Australian Musician and AllMusic review, subject would meet WP:MUSICBIO.Royal88888 (talk) 02:26, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete for lack of WP:SIGCOV. It's far from the worst article I've seen, and I wouldn't be shocked if there were a couple pre-internet news articles somewhere that could let it scrape by, but what we have, and what I can find, are short of independent coverage that would be needed for an article. I have doubts that Australian Musician has sufficient fact checking expertise to warrant consideration as a reliable source, and the best of the rest of the sources are just interviews or brief concert promos or reviews.

I nominated this page for deletion for not establishing its notability in 2022 and I've now realised it has been recreated. Admittedly, the article now has more sources than it did then but as can be seen from the table below, there are still no sources that count towards GNG or ORGCRIT. They are almost all either small local newspapers or specialist trade publications. In any case, the sources either largely depend on quotes or read like press releases. It should be deleted.

- Articles by Forbes contributors are generally not considered reliable. ~ A412 talk! 02:03, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'd agree with @A412 that Forbes is not reliable. I have tried having a look at the Bloomberg Law article. It is paywalled so I can't read all of it. Bloomberg Law is probably reliable, like most articles written by Bloomberg staff tend to be. I am not sure it amounts to significant coverage for the company, though. It's an article, as far as I can see, about a first-instance lawsuit against the company. I am not sure that it should count. Even if it's sufficiently in-depth, I am not sure it sufficiently demonstrates the company is notable enough. Jtrrs0 (talk) 11:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Two additional independent & non-local sources have been added - neither echo any press release material. Thus the article shall remain active. CityLimitsJunction (talk) 14:54, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- I only see one extra source, the Just Food piece. If you mean the sources in the 'Ingredients' section I removed, they should also not count because some nutriologist noting that a product has a short ingredient list does not even come close to establishing the company's notability.
- Apart from that, I've had a look at the Just Food article. It is almost entirely reliant on quotes from the Company/its officers/business partners. It is not independent.
- Furthermore, even if we do find two sources, please note that only creates a presumption of notability (per WP:ORGCRIT. Jtrrs0 (talk) 15:52, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. I've added multiple additional RS with SIGCOV, removed a few of the worst press-release ones and the content sourced only to them. I think this subject makes it over the hump. Valereee (talk) 16:46, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- As far as I can see, none of the sources added amount to to RS SIGCOV. They are:
- 'Top 10 list' style coverage that happens to cover one of their products ( [55] and [56]) and which only amount to trivial coverage;
- A Forbes contributor piece ([57]) which is not RS;
- Reviews of a product of the company ([58] and [59]) which must be treated very carefully. Setting aside whether they are reliable and independent sources, neither amounts to significant coverage of the company. They are just covering some of their products. Coverage of the company itself is trivial. Companies do not inherit notability from their products.
- Jtrrs0 (talk) 17:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't add that Forbes piece. I added Men's Health, Business Insider, E! Online, Bon Appetit, Baking Business, Prevention, WFSB, Self, and Eat This, Not That, IIRC. Valereee (talk) 18:02, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Apologies for the confusion on my part. I'll deal with them one by one:
- Men's health is link 8. I don't think a review of a single product establishes notability either of the company or of their product line such that WP:NPRODUCT applies.
- Business Insider [60] is paywalled but seems to be just another review of a single product.
- E! (link 5 above) is indeed trivial coverage of a single product in a Top 15 list.
- Bon appetit (link 7) is a slightly less trivial review of a single product. It's a few paragraphs of prose rather than a terse couple of sentences in a top 10 list. This surely still can't amount to SIGCOV of the company though. Is the company notable because a reviewer liked their pink salt popcorn?
- Baking Business [61]: reads suspiciously like a press release. I've found two posts with almost identical wording ([62] and [63]). It's almost certainly a press release.
- Prevention [64] is a one-line mention of the company in a top 30 list.
- WFSB [65] has several problems. The article is largely composed of quotes. It's not independent. Likewise the 1min57s reportage. WFSB is also a newstation local to Hartford.
- In my view none of these establish a presumption of notability for the company or their products. They are all reviews of a single product, entries in a Top X list, press releases or otherwise not sources we count for notability. Jtrrs0 (talk) 08:51, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Apologies for the confusion on my part. I'll deal with them one by one:
Companies do not inherit notability from their products.
- While this is true, the article is effectively about the company's line of snack products, and by WP:NPRODUCT,
In cases where a company is mainly known for a single series of products or services, it is usually better to cover the company and its products/services in the same article. This article can be the name of the company or the name of its product, depending on which is the primary topic
. - I would be inclined, in this case, to count substantial reviews of their product line, though I have yet to look at the sources added by Valereee. ~ A412 talk! 18:58, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- I take your point. If there were substantial reviews of the company's product range I might be inclined to agree (subject obvs to the reviews being substantial reliable and independent). But as you can see from my reply to Valereee, none of the new sources amount to that. They are either reviews of individual products, or top 10 list entries or a press release. Jtrrs0 (talk) 08:55, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

I would normally redirect this to Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Charleston#Education as an ATD, but it survived AfD at a very different time for school discussions. I do not see evidence the school meets current guidelines as sourcing is neither in depth nor fully independent. No objection with a redirect, but didn't think it to be BLAR appropriate.

- Comment - Previous deletion arguments were entirely "it's a secondary school" so clearly don't hold. However initial searches show up this book [66] which contains a photo of the school in 1940 and confirms something buried in the infobox: the school was formerly known as Ursuline High School. "Roots back to 1856" does not quite verify that it was founded then, but it could have been. The book is published by Arcadia Publishing, publishers of local histories. Not clear if there is any editorial oversight. In any case, that entry is not SIGCOV. What it does suggest is that any searches should include searches for "Ursuline High Scool" by that name. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:47, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, in fact, it was the Ursuline Academy, and during the Burning of Columbia during the Civil War, Gen. Sherman protected the teacher(s) and girl students. I urge the nominator to withdraw this nomination. In fact, I hope that the nominator is not on some sort of crusade to delete articles on high schools. It should be obvious that a Catholic high school dating back to 1858 in the American South, where Catholics were rare and were sometimes lynched, isn't going to be like a run-of-the-mill high school founded in 1958 in a suburb of Boston. Abductive (reasoning) 09:28, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- I am sure the nom. is in good faith. There is not much in the article itself that supports notability, and missing that historical name would affect any WP:BEFORE. Do you have a source for the civil war mention. If we have notable mention in a history, I expect this will be an easy keep, but we still need the sources, and we could get that into the page. Thanks. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:33, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment - Sources: Passing mentions in this one [67] but on page 439 we have this passage:
... Cardinal Newman, successor to famed Ursuline Academy, began classes in spring of 1961...
That is a passing mention in itself but it indicates there will be more. The writer believed that Ursuline Academy was famous, and thus, presumably, notable. I also found a self published document which has a description of the history alluded to above, although sources are not given. This is a WP:SPS so not reliable as it stands. Indeed, when I tried to link it, the edit was refused as it is on a blacklisted site. So definitely not a WP:RS in that form. The blacklisted document is a Word doc, filename zc+The+Ursulines+during+the+Civil+War+Article+34+(1) - no author given. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:01, 10 April 2024 (UTC)- South Carolina Handbook (1908) [68] has this on page 208:
Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:35, 10 April 2024 (UTC)URSULINE CONVENT.
All records, from the date of foundation by Rev. J. J. O'Conndl in Columbia in 1858 to the burning of Columbia by Sherman in 1865, when the Convent was burned, were destroyed. Shortly after the war steps were taken to rebuild and refurnish the school, and now the Convent stands on the corner of Assembly Street and Hampton Avenue, a monument to their devotion to education by the Catholics of the State. It is a commodious and handsome building, furnished with all modem equipments and the best sanitary arrangements, thoroughly heated and well ventilated. The grounds are ample for outdoor exercise, which is required by the rules of the Academy to take, and which the delightful climate renders pleasant I throughout the year. In point of health and beauty, Columbia does not yield to any Southern city; hence the Academy is URSULINE ACADEMY. ideally situated and attracts students from other sections. In admission of students no distinction is made on account of creed, nor is any undue influence used over their religious principles. The institution is chartered by the Legislature of South Carolina, and is empowered to confer degrees and diplomas. The Convent is under control of the Right Rev. Bishop Northrop and the Mother Superior, Mother Angela Broomfield, and a high class of education is furnished.
- South Carolina Handbook (1908) [68] has this on page 208:
- Keep - This source seals it for me:
- Curran, Robert Emmett (2019). For Church and Confederacy: the Lynches of South Carolina. Columbia, South Carolina: The University of South Carolina Press. ISBN 9781611179170.
- This book covers the convent and this school quite extensively whilst describing aspects of the civil war. It is a WP:RS, significant coverage, independent and secondary. Although not multiple, this clearly validates sources above that speak of the school as famous, and there is no doubt in reading the source that it was a significant part of the events. So yes, this is notable. The article itself has none of this, and this source does not verify the statement above about Sherman shielding the charges. In fact, in the chapter "1865 February–April", it describes the events of the burning of the building without suggestion of them being taken to safety. So I would request this AfD not be withdrawn just yet. Deletion is not for cleanup, but now we are here, it would be very helpful if we could find if there are more sources about these events that could be placed into the article. The school is notable for its history, but currently nothing that makes it notable is in the article. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:02, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per Sirfurboy. Meets WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:09, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Nom comment I won't drag this out 7 days if enough sourcing is found. AfD isn't for cleanup, but the Ursuline tie is a nice result. I don't think per WP:ARCADIA it can be used on its own but if the material behind that and the SPS are determined, there's probably enough to verify the history. Not sure what a school in a Massachusetts suburb has to do with anything unless that's from a prior discussion I don't recall? Writing pre coffee. Re:
I hope that the nominator is not on some sort of crusade to delete articles on high schools.
I think this picks up all of my AfD noms of late. I think you'll see I'm not on a crusade to delete anything although I'm sure I've nominated schools along with every topic in my time here. I simply found it when looking at some other SC schools and wasn't convinced on notability. Nothing more, nothing less. While Necrothesp and Sirfurboy and I sometimes see content from a different POV, I think they'd both tell you anything I put forward is in good faith. Star Mississippi 12:17, 10 April 2024 (UTC)- Thanks for this. I do think Curran (2019) is the clincher here. But
Not sure what a school in a Massachusetts suburb has to do with anything
- what does that refer to? I found a different Ursuline Academy in Texas, but I think all the sources I mentioned were for South Carolina. Have I mixed any up? As to good faith - definitely no concerns on that score. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 13:34, 10 April 2024 (UTC)- That was @Abductive's POV here
It should be obvious that a Catholic high school dating back to 1858 in the American South, where Catholics were rare and were sometimes lynched, isn't going to be like a run-of-the-mill high school founded in 1958 in a suburb of Boston.
Maybe something lost in translation on my end. Anyway, thanks for your research and note @Sirfurboy. Withdrawing on the grounds that sufficient sourcing exists to indicate there is more not as easily accessible but 99.99% confirmed to exist. Star Mississippi 02:28, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Articles about a film and its director, not properly sourced as having strong claims to passing WP:NFILM. The attempted notability claim is that it was one of the first films (according to the film article) and/or the very first film (according to the BLP) to feature a lead actor with Down syndrome, but this isn't properly sourced, and isn't "inherently" notable without sourcing -- but the film article otherwise stacks a bunch of student film awards that do not receive media coverage for the purposes of being able to make their winners notable for winning them, while the BLP doesn't actually make any other notability claims at all besides the existence of this film. Meanwhile, the film's article is "referenced" entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, while the BLP is entirely unsourced -- and there are conflict of interest issues, as the director has edited the film's article in the past and was the creator of his own BLP in defiance of WP:AUTOBIO.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt either the film or the director from having to pass WP:GNG on their sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 00:58, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

- Hm. The number of recipes is huge, which in general is an indication a dish is likely notable and we'll be able to find sources discussing it. I'm not immediately finding them, but that doesn't mean someone hasn't. I may have to do some offline research. I'm traveling but I'll give myself a w-ping to circle back when I'm back home.

- Delete Per Reywas. List of salads should be a fine redirect. One can find recipes with salad made from any palatable leaf. However, I don't see significant coverage nor any suggestion of cultural or other importance. As a side note, recent additions to the article are poor attempts to justify its existence. I quote from its current state: "An internet search on spinach salad, results in pages and pages of the salad variations. Many recipe variations can be found at Reddit". This is unfortunate.Heavy Grasshopper (talk) 10:10, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I'm having a hard time trying to figure out my vote, so I will lay out my ideas and let people more well-versed in WP figure it out. First, WP:NMMA is irrelevant since there's no evidence he was ever an MMA fighter. Second, I didn't find any significant independent coverage of him, although it may well have existed in Dutch sources at the time of his successes. Third, he was twice a bronze medalist at the world championships and won a silver medal at the World Games. I think the bronze medals are more significant since the World Games event had only 6 competitors in his division, but he was clearly a notable (in the non-WP sense of the word) in the field of jiu-jitsu. Perhaps this a good case for WP:IAR, but that's a new claim for me and may be misguided. Finally, the redirect suggest by Gidonb seems reasonable, as redirects are cheap. So I've laid out reasons for deleting, keeping, and redirecting the article. I'll close by saying I think his accomplishments seem to make deleting the article harsh, but not without justification.

Lacking secondary sources to meet WP:GNG. Current sources are the FCC, radio-locator.com, and Broadcasting Yearbook.

- I really wish we could have an AfD in this topic area without aspersions being cast on editors. Some of your edit summaries in response to my notifications have just been abusive. Unfortunately none of the sources you added, such as a listing at the Idaho State Broadcasters Association, seem to demonstrate notability per WP:GNG. AusLondonder (talk) 05:34, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- FYI Scott Fybush is pretty well known in the radio world. He writes a column called northeast radio watch, among other things. He's a journalist. He has toured hundreds of tower sites across the country, visiting studios and gathering historical information on these stations. To say he's un-notable, or a poor source, is a slap in the face. The editor at the bottom of this discussion below me, Sammi Brie, brings up an excellent point. I feel like due diligence isn't given to these articles, and instead its a knee-jerk decision to post an afd. I second her post about WP:BEFORE. If you want to talk about "abusive", maybe start with your nomination process for these articles. You give them no chance for improvement, you just click AfD and move onto the next one. As someone who has edited this site since mid-2000s, this isn't the first time someone had a mission to delete articles in relation to WP:WPRS. Instead of the knee-jerk, how about being constructive seeing where the articles can be improved and letting editors know that way? Accord to WP:BEFORE, that's what you're supposed to do. You too can add sources to articles if you find them. If I had the power to post AfD templates, I wouldn't abuse it per that policy. I'm glad I found that WP:BEFORE exists, because it should give articles like these a chance to survive. And no, I know you're probably not doing it in bad faith, but you're definitely not doing it right per WP:BEFORE. I'd gladly add sources if that's necessary, and I'll continue to do so. All you have to do is tell me. An AfD should be the last resort. If you can't find any third party sources for the station, fine. I don't own these articles, I just want them to be improved. As far as abusive edit summaries, you link directly to my talk page, somewhere I'm free to express my opinions and concern that these articles are just put on the chopping block withoutdue process. I also don't like clutter on my talk page, and move it frequently to archives. I poured many hours into editing this site over the past two decades, and it's just amazing it can all be taken away because of one person's opinion of what qualifies for notability. And yes, I get that things have changed since 2008, but the Idaho Statesman references (thank you Sammi) should put the nail in the coffin for this one. That's as third-party as you can get. The same with Scott Fybush's posts. One would think a journalist is a reliable third party source, but here we are. -Edit splice- added two more sources that are pretty notable.

The Idaho State Broadcasters Association is a secondary source, as is Broadcasting Yearbook (a periodical of it's time) and Scott Fybush's website, who is known and trusted within the industry for his news coverage (and he is a radio journalist by trade), is highly reliable. These are all reliable sources and demonstrate notability.

- Comment on sourcing A directory listing on the website of the Idaho State Broadcasters Association is clearly a primary source. It's also obviously not independent of the subject. The Scott Fybush source is a very poor source for demonstrating notability. It is about his trip looking at radio towers and specifically "The AM Towers of Boise, Idaho" - KBGN is only mentioned very briefly and only in the context of its transmission tower. Nothing to do with discussion of the station or its history, operations or broadcasts. The radio yearbook is again a very simple directory listing. That's the exact opposite of what significant coverage is. AusLondonder (talk) 20:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of radio stations in Idaho: I say this with at least some degree of reluctance, but the GNG requires significant coverage, not brief mentions, directories, or non-independent sourcing. I wouldn't be surprised if GNG-appropriate sourcing is lurking out there somewhere, but our inclusion standards are far stricter now than they were in 2008, and retaining anything more than an {{R to list entry}} without the needed SIGCOV is, if anything, only becoming less-policy-based over time. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:28, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

- One of them is quite good, but I would say the ones about the radio tower are not significant coverage of the station, especially this. Whether one decent article in a newspaper in the 1970s and nothing substantial since is sufficient for meeting WP:GNG I'm not sure as GNG says "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected" AusLondonder (talk) 02:07, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- That short one is at least noteworthy for dating purposes, but I would say the others are SIGCOV; we have a feature article on the station, an article entirely on the new station starting broadcasting, and an article about the radio station's transmitter causing site issues with the new airport.

Keep- I think the general consensus is that the article has been improved enough. I don't know how more reliable a source the Idaho Statesman is. That one should end this tirade. There are several third-party sources in this article now that prove that the station exists, and it has a history. This includes the United States Senate for pete sake. I'm not sure why there is a hang up on this one. Scott Fybush is a reliable source. He has been in radio for decades, and publishes a weekly column, on top of touring tower sites and gathering history. He's a journalist. There are several third-party sources in this article, including big ones that offer significant coverage. This should have been resolved by now.
