Insufficient WP:SIGCOV to meet GNG. Sources only prove existence, not notability. Fails WP:NPROF according to this discussion on article talk page. Bgv. (talk) 23:51, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Academics and educators, and Education. Bgv. (talk) 23:51, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. An odd case. He moved from being faculty at Colby to being principal of a high school in the late 19th century when sources were sparse. The high school later became a degree-granting university. However, just as notability is not inheritable, I don't see how it can retroactively promote to pass WP:NPROF#C6. I am not convinced, but I am happy to leave this one to others -- hence Abstain. Ldm1954 (talk) 03:54, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As a point of clarification: Subject became principal of the New Paltz Normal School, and I'm not sure if it's completely appropriate to denote that as a high school. Normal schools were post-secondary institutions with abbreviated (1-2 year) programs to train school teachers, in a similar system as technical colleges. Most normal schools in the United States later became or were absorbed by state colleges (see examples in Normal schools in the United States). Does this make them "major academic institutions"? Likely not, but I also wouldn't group them into the same bucket as secondary school administrators. Bgv. (talk) 05:14, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK, clarification accepted (I did not grow up in the US). Ldm1954 (talk) 06:09, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Newspapers.com shows that there was coverage of why he was asked to resign, and also of his suicide and the manner of it. A newspaper report of his appointment to Colby University says that he was elected to the "chair of Natural Philosopy and Astronomy" - the article describes this as a "professor of physics", which seems a bit different, although a report of his resignation does say "professor of physics". I'm not sure about this one, and not sure I have the time to expand the article to assess whether he meets WP:GNG (or anything else). RebeccaGreen (talk) 09:52, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This may be a case of WP:TOOSOON, if she has recently signed with BMG Records. I have found only one article about her [1], apart from a few mentions in newspapers when she was at school (creating an ad in class, and an award for a recycling project, which names her mother), and a para in an article on battling inflation (she delivers for Instacart, and will cut out Starbucks iced coffee).

Wedge Group

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

Fails WP:NCORP. I came to this page from Rob Marris, who is apparently the board director for the holding company of Wedge Group. I was going to copyedit the article, but then started looking for better sources and found no significant coverage outside local/industry news. Here is what I have found:

An article (archive link) in the Birmingham Post about a new plant built by the group. This is already cited in the article.
A very short Suffolk News article about a visit by Nick Timothy MP to an Acrow Galvanising plant. Acrow Galvanising is owned by Wedge Group.
A short article in the East Anglian Daily Times about Acrow Galvanising changing the livery for their vehicles.
A short Insider Media article which mentions Wedge Group in passing as a former employee was given a job at the CBI.
A short Scottish Business News article about "Scotland's largest [galvanising] bath" which was built by a company owned by Wedge Group.
An article in the Express & Star discussing the conversion of an old school building into the headquarters for Wedge Group.

There are a few other small articles elsewhere, but I believe all of the coverage I have found falls under WP:ORGTRIV, and is aimed at either local or business audiences (WP:AUD). Pink Bee (talk) 20:03, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Foxtails (band)

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

Doesn't seem to meet WP:NBAND. Going through the 6 sources, the first is their personal bandcamp, the second is an article I don't have access to but it seems connected to the band, the third is "foxtails interview", fourth is "new album out now", fifth is a review of one of their albums (no significant coverage about the band), and sixth is an interview about a new EP release. My external searches give me little more than what is here already. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 17:27, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Connecticut-related deletion discussions. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:33, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Their bandcamp was only used as a source for the pronouns of the band members, since some older interviews do not reflect the current pronouns used by the band members. The second source is an article from the Hartford Courant, a newspaper from Connecticut. This is not connected to the band in any way, nor are any of the other four sources. I suppose there is also a bit of a discrepancy about what we consider to be coverage of the band. I would think that coverage of an artist's works would be considered coverage of the artist since the purpose of most music publications is to talk about the music itself. Unless you are only including sources which talk about the band members' personal lives and disregarding sources about their music, which seems somewhat counter-intuitive for me. To my knowledge, there is not a specific minimum number of sources required to establish notability, but I thought five (not connected to the band) would be sufficient. If this is not the case, how many sources and/or what types of sources would have to be added for the article to not be deleted? Thanks. Ptarmica (talk) 03:11, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Coverage of the artist's work is not coverage of the artist. Coverage of the artist's work is good if you wanted to have an article on the works' themselves, i.e. something like Home (Foxtails album), but it doesn't establish anything for the band if the band (as an entity) is never the subject of these sources. Utopes _{(talk /cont)} 07:08, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree, coverage of their works is obviously about the band in the same way that coverage of an author's books, or an artist's works contribute to their notability. This is necessary for notability as interviews are excluded from notability considerations if they have no independent prose but can still be used in the article if from reliable sources so it's not as if there is no usable coverage of the band, imv Atlantic306 (talk)

Leaning towards delete or draftify - this may be WP:TOOSOON if they're an underground/only locally known band just starting to be written about in large music publications like BrooklynVegan. I see the members are LGBTQ and one of the members speaks Spanish, is there any coverage from LGBTQ media outlets or Spanish-language ones? Sarsenet (talk) 09:57, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lumi (currency)

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

Fake and/or failed currency, does not meet GNG because only those who promote it write about it, most of the claims made about it are false. Polygnotus (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up from Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Lumi_(currency).

Creating a new currency is a very old scam, see Scrip.

What I think happened (this is a guess based on very limited information):

I think that Timothy Elisha McPherson Jr. or someone he knows created a new currency called LUMI before 2016 https://lumicurrency.org/about/

He, or someone he knows, had some banknotes printed in Canada around 2016.

They claim that Each issued LUMI is equivalent to USD 15.96, underwritten by 100kwh of solar energy and valued against gold-grains in a parity of 1-to-4, where one LUMI equals the market value of 4 grains of gold.

They then needed a way to get people to use this new currency, and the obvious way to achieve that was handing out free worthless LUMI. They called this the 6 Trillion Dollar Stimulus package (unclear how much that would be in LUMI).

Anyone can get some LUMI by signing up for an account, and if you are a business owner you can get what they claim to be the equivalent of 10k USD.

Problem is, you can't really spend this fake currency anywhere.

They went to a bunch of places trying to get a government to accept the currency as real.

Accompong is a village on the island of Jamaica. Some people claim Accompong, a village of less than 800 people, is sort-of sovereign and autonomous. The previous chief promoted LUMI. The current chief, Richard Currie, is opposed to LUMI.

The people behind LUMI went to Vanuatu and tried to get them to adopt this new currency. They did meet the deputy finance minister but I am not sure how succesful they were in their quest.

Basically no one registered on their website, and those that did were told they could not exchange their fake money for real money.

The Central Solar Reserve Bank of Accompong does not exist and the African Diaspora Central Bank is just some guy in Benin.

They claim The lumi is no longer used as the Accompong currency. It is now issued by the African Diaspora Central Bank since the Central Solar Reserve Bank was destituted by Colonel Richard Currie when he replaced Colonel Ferron Williams as the new elected Head of State for Accompong. but I have found no evidence that the Central Solar Reserve Bank of Accompong has ever existed, outside of McPherson's head, and solar energy production on Jamaica is very low.

Hollie Jervis

Draft:Holly Jervis by User:PerfidiousSnatch was rejected last May for failing to meet WP:NSINGER with not enough significant coverage. This article is from the same user (although the text was written first in a sandbox by User:SandraHarsesWilson, who resigned and vanished shortly after this unclear response from PerfidiousSnatch about who wrote the article text) under a different spelling of the article title, initially Hollie Michelle Jervis, and it doesn't appear to meet WP:NSINGER either. "a prominent figure in hun culture" seems to be overstating it, when the sources are about a recurring joke on Twitter.

Oil imperialism theories

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

There are no "oil imperialism theories". This page was created in 2003 (possibly in relation to the invasion of Iraq) and over the course of two decades, no reliable sources have been added to the article. There is nothing to indicate that the subject is notable. The article is pure WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. While I'm sure that someone somewhere has used the words "oil" and "imperialism" together, there is no coherent set of "oil imperialism theories" or academic literature on "oil imperialism". This is contrast to, say, [oil war] and [resource war], which have substantive literatures about them. Thenightaway (talk) 19:12, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article about a Finnish supercentenarian was merged to List of supercentenarians by continent in 2018 as a result of this discussion. The page was recently restored by Wwew345t, along with many other articles on supercentarians that were merged or redirected (see, e.g., [23][24][25]). I'm starting another AfD to get a feel for the community's current consensus, as this article is one of many similar bios that were recently restored to mainspace. Notability is definitely borderline: although there are sources that discuss this person, I think it's pretty clear-cut case of WP:BIO1E, as all the sources focus exclusively on his age.

I'm not surprised that you think that Maffian didn't meet WP:NALBUM, but the mistake was made by the editor who published this article that didn't provide enough notability. The EP charted on US & UK Apple Music Album chart at #57 & #82 and peaked at number 2 on Nigeria Apple Music Album Top 100 and number 3 at TurnTable Top 100 Albums. [26][27].

Apple Music Charts are considered WP:SINGLEVENDOR charts and cannot be used to establish notability. Although Turntable is a reliable chart, simply having an EP chart doesn't justify a separate article. The fact of the matter is that Maffian was not discussed in reliable sources or critically reviewed. I am not sure why you're comparing Maffian with those two other projects. For your info, both Soundman Vol.2 and Boy Spyce were critically reviewed. Show me multiple reliable sources that reviewed the EP and I will change my vote.

2nd Nomination. First AfD resulted in DELETE; strictly promotional. Page was re-created with supposed "new sources". However, all FOOTNOTES are primary and promotional. No "new" sources pass notability claim or RS requirement. Fanfare reference only lists BLP's self-generated biography. Cannot find any online listings for Living Music Journal or to any of BLP'S writing. Cannot find reference content for Choir and Organ to be used for RS. Entry in Oxford Music Online is merely BLP's personal biography contributed by subscribed user; as is with all biographies. Link to "Search for 'Carson Cooman' in The Oxford Dictionary of Music and the Oxford Companion to Music" renders nothing. No awards, no reviews, no major publications. 1st AfD was correct.

WP:BLP of a media entrepreneur, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for media figures. As always, founders of television channels are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on their sourceability -- but this is referenced entirely to a mixture of primary sources and glancing namechecks of the subject's existence in coverage about other things, with no evidence shown at all of any GNG-worthy coverage with him as its subject.
There's also been some conflict of interest editing in the past, as the article has been edited numerous times by "Yeldeeb", and was first created by an anonymous-IP WP:SPA with no other edit history at all besides this (and thus likely to have been either the subject himself, or an employee he paid to get him into Wikipedia). But of course, even people who do properly clear our inclusion standards still aren't entitled to create or control their articles themselves. Bearcat (talk) 16:25, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Churn and burn

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

"Churn and burn" is an expression in English, but the claim that it specifically refers to an anti-union tactic is dubious. The only reference in this article is a dead link to what appears to have been a minor news bit that was tangentially related at best. Google results reveal the phrase being used in many contexts with many meanings, but all references to it as a union-busting tactic seem to derive from this article, and even if some earlier reference could be found it would only be one of many uses of this stock expression. We don't have an article for "kill two birds with one stone" and we certainly don't describe it as concept in efficiency theory because one article used the expression. We should stop the cycle of citogenesis. -- LWG ^talk 15:11, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The "Otumfuo Foundation"/"Otumfuo Education Fund" has actually been in existence for 25 years so it is not what one would call a "fly by night operation".

Not a village or even a hamlet. Source 1 is a photograph of a farm. Source 2 is a map. Source 3 mentions the farm in Source 1. Source 4 mentions the name of the place. Source 5 doesn't even appear to mention it. It is practically an orphan having two links to main space (although one of these is also up for deletion). The article itself gives us its location and says it is primarily residential. And that's it.

Comment: I don't have strong feelings either way, but I'm not sure it's true to say that this is "not even a hamlet". We do have a problem with people creating articles for "places" that turn out to be just a farm and a word on an ordnance survey map, but in this case Westcroft has signs announcing it on entry (on Google Streetview), is a Westcroft Ward on Essington parish council, has a Westcroft Neighbourhood Watch, is the name of the bus stops. I'm not saying that these things necessarily indicate notability, only that this instance is not a case of somebody mistaking the name of a farm on a map and inventing an entire place from it. Joe D (t) 12:51, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Once you all get to the early 19th century histories of Staffordshire and discover that there was a Hilton Park in Hilton township in the Cuttleston hundred, of which only Hilton Hall remains; which is, contrary to what Wikipedia says, the actual source of the name for Hilton Park services (and apparently all of the other things Bing Maps tells me are called Hilton Park something around there); and which encompassed West Croft Farm and Essington Manor, then you will know what the actual encyclopædic subject is here. Hilton Park and Hilton do not cover any of this, observe. We are missing this almost entirely, because we only cover 1 building. Uncle G (talk) 18:08, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  - We all have tools that can edit the content and change the title of the page. And now we all know that the subject isn't a "residential area"; which was unresearched rubbish, but unresearched rubbish that can be edited. Nor is the farm the real subject. This is exactly the same situation as with Grove Avenue, London (AfD discussion) and Hanwell Park 15 years ago. That was fixed by editing and page moving, too. Uncle G (talk) 23:04, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    - No, we've established that Westcroft is a residential area, albeit a small one about which there will likely never be more than a stub of encyclopedic content to be written – we would normally cover such areas within their parish articles. If you want to write an article about Hilton Park, it would be odd to start it from an article of which you do not intend to keep the title or any of the content. Even if you did create a Hilton Park article and mention Westcroft in it, it would be more use to readers who are looking for information about the settlement for the redirect to be to the Essington article. Joe D (t) 00:33, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      - Read what is right in front of you. Even the nomination notes that the sources establish that this was a farm; and explains that the claim to being a "residential area" is unsupported by any actual sources, as it wouldn't be because it was not and still is not one; the farm (with its moat!) even being still in the middle of farmland on modern maps. The way to address this farm is to refactor it into the actual historical subject that encompassed the farm. Uncle G (talk) 07:45, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    - Agree with Joe D. I've added a sentence to the Essington article, so don't think this needs merging. There's nothing about the farm in this article except the source, but detail could be added in Essington. Hilton, including Hilton Park, is a separate parish that nowadays doesn't include Westcroft (if it ever did) and it seems simpler to create a new article for Hilton parish or Hilton Park, if thought notable, than repurpose this. Rupples (talk) 12:52, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      - You actually don't agree if you call this a farm, as you just did. Steinsky is asserting that this is a "residential area", which is an unsourced and actually false claim by the article that we shouldn't be basing decisions upon, and called it a "hamlet" in a preceding rationale. Neither is true; and obviously neither is a basis for a good rationale. Actual history books have this as a farm, and go on about Hilton Park and all of the bits and pieces of the Hilton Park estate back in the early middle 19th century. It's mad to think that renaming and refactoring this, which anyone can do, is "simpler" than the whole effort of funnelling the work onto one of the few people with administrator tools. Uncle G (talk) 07:45, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Essington. My source search lists this as a farm, and the index of the best source I found says "see Essington." However I do see that there is a physical sign announcing you are entering Westcroft, so I think this can possibly be saved. SportingFlyer T·C 20:42, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Essington: non-notable area.Pam D 23:44, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's mad that there's this whole ruckus on the Administrators' Noticeboard about the article creator egregiously misinterpreting sources, when SRS 1996, p. 125 (a reprint of a report published in 1864, note) is right there, saying
These farms called Essington Manor and Westcroft comprise part of the Hilton Park estate, which is situate about 5 miles to the eastward of Wolverhampton and consists of upwards of 2,000 acres.
and White 1834, p. 235 is right there saying
HILTON, a township and prebend in the East Division of Cuttleston Hundred, 5 miles N.N.E. of Wolverhampton, is a tithe-free estate, consisting of three farms, and HILTON PARK, the beautiful seat of Henry Charles Edward Vernon Graham Esq.
and yet here people are still arguing on the basis that this is an "area" or a "hamlet" or somehow part of Essington, the adjacent township that the very same source White 1834, p. 249 directly contracts this assertion by saying
BUSHBURY, or Byshbury parish, comprises the two townships of Bushbury and Essington, the former in the Seisdon and the latter in the Cuttleston hundred.
and goes on at White 1834, p. 251 to say
ESSINGTON township, 4¼ miles N.N.E. of Wolverhampton, is a district of scattered houses, mostly occupied by colliers; but the coal mines here are now nearly exhausted. H. C. E. Vernon Graham, Esq. of Hilton park, is lord of the manor, and owner of most of the land.
. Indeed, the GeoHack in this very article leads almost directly to this 1880s map that shows Hilton, Bushbury, Essington, Hilton Park, and the Manor Farm and Westcroft Farm. Surely we should be better at this reading of sources lark than the article creator is! But collectively we're proving ourselves not to be. Uncle G (talk) 07:45, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's 2025, not 1834. I'm sure White was correct in describing Essington as a township of scattered houses in 1834. Meanwhile, Wikipedia needs to describe what the situation is in 2025. Essington is now a civil parish of more than just scattered houses, and as we established sometime earlier in this discussion, Westcroft is now an area in that parish.. Joe D (t) 07:52, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Quite right. It looks as though there still is a Westcroft Farm but I don't often see farms mentioned in village/parish articles.

Keep Did anybody actually google this? Here's an example of houses for sale in Westcroft right now [31]. Results in the British Newspaper Archive show that it was a farm in the 19th century, and there was still a farm there in the 1940s, but there were already houses by then too, and more spacious, detached houses being built and sold there later in the 20th century and in this century.

Keep. As per WP:BLP1E the 'subjects notable for one event' policy must meet each of three criteria listed for the subject to be unsuitable for a page. They are: reliable sources only cover one event; the individual is otherwise low profile; and the individual's role in the event was not significant. I suggest Szego's career as an author and journalist elevates her above “low-profile individual”; and her role in the event clearly was not “not significant”. Spinifex&Sand (talk) 22:50, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A reading of WP:LOWPROFILE would suggest that they are indeed a low profile individual. Being a author or a journalist alone does not make someone not low-profile. In fact if they did have a high profile as consequence of those activities they would almost certainly pass WP:NJOURNALIST or WP:NAUTHOR (the same policy), which they appear not to.

Wild Dingo Press, sells her book (see https://www.wilddingopress.com.au/shop/p/9780987381149). It's unsurprising that a book seller would have a profile page for an author that they sell the books of. It's not independent. It would also be a stretch to call two paragraphs significant coverage.
bookpublishing.com.au only mentions her in passing. It does not have significant coverage of her. Notably there is no claim that she won that award so I don't see a pass with WP:NAUTHOR.
The Age link you provide is her employee profile page, detailing articles that she wrote as a journalist for The Age. Firstly that's not independent coverage of her as an individual and secondly that doesn't go towards showing a pass of WP:NJOURNALIST. The Age were her employer, so it's unsurprising that they'd have a profile page on her.
thejewishindependent is a podcast in which she is interviewed. This is not independent from Szego and more importantly counts as a primary source. This does not contribute towards establishing Szego's notability. Those issues aside it appears to be dominated by her sacking from The Age, going towards my argument of BLP1E.
The Guardian link is of the same nature as The Age link. Again not independent as they are/were her employer and again it's it's unsurprising that they'd have a profile page on her which details the stories that she's written for them.

None of the sources you have provided above contribute to Szego's passing our general notability guidelines. In order to establish notability we would need multiple reliable secondary sources which are independent from Szego and which cover her in-depth. If WP:BLP1E wasn't a thing then she should pass on the coverage of her sacking alone, however WP:BLP1E is a thing and therefore she doesn't meet our general notability guidelines.

I've seen editors cite multiple reviews in the past as sufficient reason for a keep (not that I'm accusing you of doing that here as you've obviously stated there are no reviews). I'm not sure that multiple book reviews, by itself, is a WP:NAUTHOR pass. I presume the editors are basing their keep vote based on criterion 3 which states The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series), but to me it would appear that when they are doing so that they are disregarding the first sentence of that criterion.

Delete - I found hundreds of search results for her in The Wikipedia Library, but the overwhelming majority of them were her bylines on articles she has written, and yes, there was SIGCOV about her, but it was not independent, because her byline was on those articles as well. Just because she was fired from her job doesn't automatically bestow notability on her, because that news cycle about her getting sacked has already come and gone. Maybe in the future, she might pass GNG for a BLP, but right now she does not, she's a BLP1E. Isaidnoway (talk) 06:20, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Results of the 1977 Ontario general election by riding

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

This is an overly and unnecessarily detailed WP:CONTENTFORK of 1977 Ontario general election, duplicating the results exactly but adding a mostly non-Wikilinked group of names. As a result, it fails the WP:NOT test of WP:GNG by being WP:NOTDATABASE. A merge/redirect is unnecessary since the information (sans candidate names) is already substantially presented at the election page and the title is unlikely to be a search term. I am nominating a group of similar by-riding Ontario provincial election result pages under the same rationale. Dclemens1971 (talk) 12:30, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't address the WP:CONTENTFORK and WP:NOTDATABASE problems addressed in the nomination. Wikipedia is not a database of every candidate in every election. The articles for the elections themselves provide excellent encyclopedic treatments that provide sufficient detail. Users needing more can dig into the primary sources. Dclemens1971 (talk) 12:40, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Merging with parent articles solves the content fork issue. The point is that for people interested in elections having a list of candidates is useful and is also a common feature of election articles in Wikipedia. Not having a list of who actually ran would be a glaring omission. Would you even think of removing candidate names from say 2010 New York State Senate election?

  A detailed breakdown of an important election could be helpful in the overall analysis. Short of that, it's just a collection of numbers in a chart. Oaktree b (talk) 13:18, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not to further this conversation forever, but they are not "just a collection of numbers in a chart." They - without merging into their parent articles - are the only instance of riding-by-riding election results (with candidate names) for Ontario provincial elections. Which in my opinion clearly meet WP:GNG for inclusion (at least in recent occurrences, and if not all the way back to 1977). - Epluribusunumyall (talk) 17:55, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"They - without merging into their parent articles - are the only instance of riding-by-riding election results (with candidate names) for Ontario provincial elections." That, like Wellington Bay's argument above, basically admits that this page is serving as a database of primary source data and thus fails WP:NOTDATABASE. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:10, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, it admits that the page is a useful resource with information that is normally carried in election pages for other jurisdictions. That non-Canadians may not find it interesting doesn't mean it doesn't have value. If you tried to remove candidate names from pages of US state elections or UK elections you'd find a similar push back. WP:IDONTLIKEIT doesn't justify deletion. Wellington Bay (talk) 18:17, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say I didn't like it or that it's not interesting, and whether or not I am Canadian would not seem to have any relevance. I said Wikipedia's purpose is not to be a repository of data, and two participants in that discussion have offered the argument that we should keep this particular repository of data because it apparently exists in no other accessible place.

Nate • (chatter) 21:18, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — (leaning) — I’m definitely leaning delete, but I would second Nate in that NYC should be kept. WP:NLIST is actually quite forward in stating that “list of…” (and even “list of X of Y” as these articles are) should be be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. I agree that there is some redundancy with these sorts of articles, but they can be handy. Regardless, the law enforcement side of Wikipedia is a personal project of mine, and while I agree that Westchester and Long Island are getting a bit redundant, etc, I do, however, feel that NYC, as the most populous city of the United States, and its large number of LEAs and LEOs (and a significant number of unique LEAs, at that) deserves to have his own list, even in the face of list of law enforcement agencies in New York (state). I say I am only 'leaning' delete, because if I can justify the existence of the NYC article, I’m assuming someone can justify Westchester/LI, and I’d be open to hearing their argument(s).

Delete - Contains duplicate content. But keep the NYC article. Drushrush (talk) 07:17, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as deletion does not solve the problem of duplicated content or an ugly article. A better solution is to rewrite the articles so that the content is county specific and the National and State level agencies are listed at the top level of the hierarchy, only, with merely a reference to there being a higher geographic level of agencies. In other instances where I have noticed duplicate articles about law enforcement in a county, the articles about the law enforcement agencies in that county have been merged into the geographic articles of where they operate. If these articles are not going to be kept, then I would suggest a Merge (or at least a redirect) of the Long Island article into the article about Long Island, where there is a section already. Also Merge (or redirect) the Westchester County into Westchester County, where there is already a section, too. Like others have also asked, I ask to Keep the New York City article separate, as it is a bit large to merge back into the New York City section on public safety, and other subarticles exist on related topics also exist, for that very large article. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 00:58, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Not seeing much point in merging this. Scotlands Estate and Scotlands appear to be duplicates, this article's title is misleading - it ought to be Underhill, Wolverhampton and the sources don't support the content.

It's not really a place any more, and when it was, it was Underhill farm, Cannock Road, Wolverhampton. This isn't some enormous historical place that we've entirely missed, as is Hilton Park; a vast sprawling estate to the north covering 4,650 acres (1,880 ha) in the 1860s, clearly shown on the old maps, that is also in history books, with nary a mention in Wikipedia all these years (c.f. Westcroft, Staffordshire (AfD discussion)). This is a farm whose sole record seems to be mentions as a farmer's address in pig breeding journals. The actual population centre, a kilometre and a bit away from the farm, was Bushbury, which we already have. Ironically, the first source in the article is actually about Bushbury, and this content is falsely sourced, there being no claim to any place called Underhill in the source (which, ironically, has information about Hilton Park on pages 235, 251, 488, and 666). I agree with Rupples. There's nothing that this can be corrected into that we don't already have, and this article is plain false. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 00:00, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Short_360#Accidents_and_incidents or Aer_Lingus#Accidents_and_incidents (both of which are WP:AIRCRASH-SECTIONs which contain largely the same text). As WP:ATD-R. Or, failing that, simply delete (per the outcome of the previous AfD and WP:NEVENT.) Otherwise, in all honesty, the event here barely meets the WP:PLANECRASH criteria for "when to add mention of aircraft accidents to articles about [..] airlines and aircraft type articles". Not to mention the criteria for a standalone article.... Guliolopez (talk) 18:26, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – I would say that some of the secondary coverage found is somewhat weak regarding in-depth coverage but I think that they at least provide significant and continued coverage of the event beyond 1986. There is some evidence of lasting effects with Aer Lingus reportedly implementing the recommendations cast by the AAIB.^[1] Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:55, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There were two (very minor) flurries of news: one immediately after the accident, one upon completion of investigation. The only coverage above the local level appears to be similar to press releases (cf. RTE). Викидим (talk) 05:21, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and possibly WP:SALT per WP:NOTNEWS, the sources above are from like 30 years old and above thus failing WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE and has no WP:LASTING effect, 1 injuries does not help either. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:49, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:NTEMP, if there was contemporary significant coverage, it does not need to have ongoing coverage. Besides, WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE does not give a minimum amount of duration for a subject to pass WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE and two years is already more than enough to establish such notability. It's unreasonable to expect a topic to receive ongoing coverage for more than 30 years. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 13:30, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia:NOTNEWS,

In principle, all Wikipedia articles should contain up-to-date information. Editors are also encouraged to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events. However, not all verifiable events are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Even when citing recent news articles as sources, ensure the Wikipedia articles themselves are not:
Original reporting. Wikipedia should not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories. Wikipedia does not constitute a primary source. However, our sister projects Wikisource and Wikinews do exactly that, and are intended to be primary sources. Wikipedia does have many encyclopedia articles on topics of historical significance that are currently in the news, and can be updated with recently verified information.

News reports. Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion and Wikipedia is not written in news style. For example, routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coverage (see WP:ROUTINE for more on this with regard to routine events). Also, while including information on recent developments is sometimes appropriate, breaking news should not be emphasized or otherwise treated differently from other information. Timely news subjects not suitable for Wikipedia may be suitable for our sister project Wikinews.

Who's who. Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be. Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event, in proportion to their importance to the overall topic. (See Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons for more details.)

Celebrity gossip and diaries. Even when an individual is notable, not all events they are involved in are. For example, news reporting about celebrities and sports figures can be very frequent and cover a lot of trivia, but using all these sources would lead to overly detailed articles that look like a diary. Not every facet of a celebrity's life, personal details, matches played, or goals scored warrants inclusion in the biography of that person, only those for which they have notability or for which our readers are reasonably likely to have an interest.

Uptime tracking. Services go down all the time. Readers are not expected to check Wikipedia articles to verify service outages. For web services, readers have ample automatic options for that purpose. For meatspace services, readers should be reaching out to the people who manage the service. Accordingly, editors should not manually edit service status updates into articles as if the articles are used for that purpose. Major outages may be notable on a case-by-case basis, especially when they have a notable cause, but the vast majority of outages simply are not notable.

ThisGuy (talk • contributions) 18:27, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What point are you trying to make? Most of the sources are not routine nor "first-hand news reports on breaking stories". Aviationwikiflight (talk) 11:44, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This was a rough landing rather than a crash and no-one had serious injuries, just scratches and bruises (a fireman crashed while driving to the scene, not part of the aircraft event itself). Not significant enough to warrant entry in any encyclopaedia that takes itself seriously.

“

The aircraft was relatively undamaged. – Assessment by the article itself!

”

The writing is very poor and of insufficient standard, suggesting that the broken English is a second language. Spideog (talk) 20:35, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum/clarification: While the article says in the lead "One serious injury was reported from a fireman", this injury occurred while the fireman was driving to the scene. Spideog (talk) 14:29, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just note that the aircraft was declared a hull loss since the left wing detached from the fuselage. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 05:01, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article mentions no hull loss or wing detachment but states, "the aircraft was relatively undamaged." The supporting citation is a report by the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives, which states that "the aircraft was relatively undamaged". Spideog (talk) 14:29, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well I don't know where the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives got its sources since:

The Leicester Mercury states that the aircraft crashed in a ploughed field, and came to rest with one wing ripped off and the other badly mauled in trees on the edge of the Castle Donington race circuit.
The Long Eaton Advertiser states that The aircraft sustained damage to the undercarriage, nose, wings and propellers...
And more specifically, the Aviation Safety Network precises that the aircraft was destroyed; written off.

In this case, I wouldn't consider BAAA to be reliable since the images of the wreckage clearly show the wing detached and more importantly, the sources seem to verify that information, hence its claim that the aircraft was "relatively undamaged" seems to be completely untrue. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 14:42, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, it was written off. The accident made Flight 328 the second hull-loss accident of a Shorts 360, after the 1985 CAAC accident. The Shorts 360 had a total of 100 fatalities, and 55 occurrences in the ASN database. ThisGuy (talk • contributions) 15:47, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Long Eaton Advertiser states that "The aircraft sustained damage" but does not specify either scratched paint or destroyed aircraft, so that does not help us.

The Aviation Safety Network is not an official institution but is compiled by a self-described "user community", so that source carries inconclusive weight.

The Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives in Geneva is, on the other hand, the work of an authoritative long-standing aircraft accidents professional and states the aircraft was "relatively undamaged".

You say "I wouldn't consider BAAA to be reliable" but that is a personal opinion, as is your dismissive assessment of the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives.

But this is a sideshow conversation relative to the identifiable policy considerations in support of deletion argued above. Spideog (talk) 16:32, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did not say BAAA was unreliable, I only stated that In this case, I wouldn't consider BAAA to be reliable. For the most part, the Aviation Safety Network isn't user-generated. It is only user generated if the entry itself states that one can edit the entry directly, and there is a long-standing consensus that it is reliable. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 16:45, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I verified the BAAA source and it states that The cockpit and passenger cabin were relatively undamaged and there was no fire. This is why one should not rely on content from a Wikipedia article when making an argument. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 14:56, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per the above or redirect to Shorts 360#Accidents and incidents – The accident itself fails the notability for events. While the accident resulted in a hull loss, the second of that aircraft type after an accident in 1985, it still fails Wikipedia:GNG. There is a good reason to why this article was nominated for deletion, as per what Iridescent said, I've declined a WP:G4 request on this—it can't be considered substantially identical to the page deleted in 2019—but the arguments from the 2019 deletion discussion still apply. There's nothing obvious to suggest that this is a viable Wikipedia topic. ThisGuy (talk • contributions) 15:57, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A search of the British Newspaper Archive - I can't access the articles - shows continuing coverage of the incident over two years later (Leicester Mercury, 21 January 1988, about the recommendation to change the airframe to prevent ice buildup) along with continuing coverage throughout the weeks after the incident and continued mentions later in time. Also led to airframe-related safety changes. SportingFlyer T·C 18:14, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I also think the delete !votes are mistaken. This clearly passes WP:GNG - there's significant coverage of this incident in a Singapore newspaper in 1986 that is currently in the article. While everyone survived and the plane was just a Short 360, it was still clearly worthy of international press. Furthermore, the accident continued to be covered locally for weeks and was mentioned years later as shown by the British Newspaper Archive, so the WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE is easily met. Since wasn't in the news for just a few cycle so isn't WP:NOTNEWS and passes the WP:NEVENT criteria. It also clearly had WP:LASTING impacts on the design of the airframe. WP:PLANECRASH specifically suggests it is not to be used in AfDs and is met anyways since this was? may have been? a hull loss and in any case resulted in changes to the airframe and icing safety, and WP:ROUTINE is for run of the mill stories which this isn't. None of the arguments for deletion actually work here. SportingFlyer T·C 18:20, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep: per SportingFlyer. According to the British Newspaper Archives, there is continuing newspaper mentions of the accident. There are also two sources in the Google News Archive and at least 10 sources in Newspapers.com, which all add to the notability of the article. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 12:09, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. See the article's Talk page. There appear to be more sources out there than have been added to the article, and despite what's in the body of the article, it appears the crash actually was significant. Aviationwikiflight might or might not get around to adding them to the article. I've added an RTÉ News report which aired when the accident investigation report was released, which included video of the aftermath of the crash, showing substantial damage - one wing appears to have been broken off, and both are damaged, as is the fuselage. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 15:38, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article definitely needs improvement and isn't a reliable source for gauging the noteworthiness of the crash. The RTÉ News report on the crash that Bastun referenced clearly shows that it was a significant incident and mentions that it "advanced knowledge of de-icing equipment in the industry".

Delete as a classic example of WP:NOTNEWS. The coverage was basically in February 1986, with few follow-up news stories after the investigative report was released in 1988.

That's just not true - NOTNEWS is for routine news stories, this was even mentioned on its ten year anniversary in a Scottish newspaper (1 February 1996, Aberdeen Press and Journal), 1994 article in the Derbyshire paper, 1997 mention in an Irish paper, 2002 mention in the Irish Indepednent... this was clearly not just a story for one news cycle.

Keep for reasons similar to what I wrote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Khaled al-Ayoubi. The reliable sources cover him in detail over several months in 2011 and 2012. WP:BLP1E doesn't apply, because all three required elements haven't been satisfied, in the positive: (1) reliable sources cover the person in several contexts; (2) as member of the opposition council, is unlikely "to remain, a low-profile individual"; and (3) the individual's role was substantial and well documented. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ali Abdul Karim. FWIW, I have no axe to grind in the Syrian civil war. Bearian (talk) 03:25, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I do think he's a clear WP:BLP1E - he's only discussed in articles because he defected, being a member of the opposition council seems to be akin to joining political party, and it was routine news that he defected.

List of boats in The Adventures of Tintin

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

So, there's some interesting stuff here in the form of well written and referenced text on "The maritime world in The Adventures of Tintin", but this is wrapped in fancrufty and poorly referenced list that fails WP:NLIST (and while the list appears to have plenty of footnotes, many are just unreferenced notes or commentary). As a list, I think his has no reason to exist, but the content could probably be merged somewhere, or maybe split (or perhaps we could just delete the list part of this article and rename it?). It's a weird case, I've very rarely seen some good content bundled with bad one in such a way...

Unicorn (Tintin)

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

This is a Good Article (from 2015), but it also seems to be a major piece of WP:FANCRUFT with big WP:GNG issues. There is no analysis or significance section; there is "Plot role" but that's pure WP:OR based on the original graphic novels(!). The only part using independent sources is 'creation', but that's just some SIGCOV trivia about how the author was researching materials for his work. Fine, I don't dispute The Secret of the Unicorn is notable, but I don't see how this article meets WP:GNG. Per WP:ATD-R, I suggest this is redirected (maybe partially merged?) there (while the ship appears in another book; there is no source that cares about that that's not a plot summary). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:36, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This article seems to be consistently well-sourced to books discussing the Tintin series, and discusses at length the creation of the fictional boat and what is admittedly some trivia about similar real boats, but given this "trivia" is present in multiple reliable secondary sources, it's probably OK to include. If the article was just the "In the Adventures of Tintin" section, which is mostly a plot summary (although just the fact that it is a plot summary does not make it OR, which is important), then I could see this AFD, but with the quality of reliable secondary sources, I think it's worth keeping.

I don't know if it's really a good candidate to merge, either, given it features in two books and the articles for those are already quite long.

Keep: There are non-fiction published reliable sources currently present in the article, including Hergé, the Man Who Created Tintin, Hergé: Son of Tintin, and The Art of Hergé, Inventor of Tintin, supporting behind-the-scenes information about the creation and design of the ship. There are a lot of plotcruft articles to delete; this is not one of them. Toughpigs (talk) 02:29, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/Merge to The Secret of the Unicorn. The dev info here is valuable, but given the ship is primarily associated with The Secret of the Unicorn, and shows no indication of any actual real world impact beyond merely existing, I don't see much value in it remaining afloat. If the dev info isn't already at the respective book's article, I'd merge it there, since this is good stuff, but tied almost exclusively to the development of the Unicorn's appearance in this story. An article without any evidence it's notable in way of SIGCOV or actual Reception/Analysis of its role just isn't notable, no matter how much BTS info exists, especially when the ship itself has only appeared three times (With all being tied directly to Secret of the Unicorn) Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 02:45, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vital Spark

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

Major WP:GNG and WP:V failure. Very poorly referenced piece of WP:FANCRUFT, summarizing a plot point (history of a fictional ship), and cataloging its appearances in various media, making WP:ORish claims that "The stories sparked considerable interest in the puffers, and many books explore their now vanished world." (in any case, if the stories sparked interest, that's not the same as this fictional ship doing that...). The articles does not even make the claim that one particular work or series is relevant to this ship, so I am not even sure what might be a plausible redirect target (per WP:ATD-R. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:30, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If sources can't be found to meet GNG, I'd suggest merging to Para Handy - that's the article about this long-running franchise as a whole, and the information about the various TV series featuring the Vital Spark is duplicated there (whereas it currently doesn't even have a photo of the ship).

Merge to Para Handy per the suggestion by Adam Sampson. The term "Vital Spark" will have widespread recognition amongst Scottish readers and those of wider literary awareness, but two of the three Notes in the article are currently dead links.

Quickly looking around recent news on the Internet, there's a recent article in Excélsior, a major Mexican newspaper that seems significant. There's also relatively frequent references to the character in media such as this Washington Post article which notes that the UK Labour party compared an announcement by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to a royal address to feudal subjects by the out-of-touch tyrant Lord Farquaad. We need entries like this to provide context to such article. If I looked back further than 2024, there'd undoubtedly be more. GNG is met. Nfitz (talk) 08:10, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
3 of the sources you showed are not WP:SIGCOV.

Weeeeeell,"according to a fan of "Shrek", there is one new theory that reveals who the parents could be, well, little is known about the character." 3rd, it only has a little brief comment but a trivia one. How are these sources helpful? Like, for example, when someone asked "Who is Nfitz?" and you're just going to answer it with "I do have one theory that reveals who his parents are, but little is known about Nfitz."

There is no such thing as 'Rangpuri people'. The only recognized entity is the Rangpuri language. As a residence of Rangpur, Bangladesh, I can say, some of us may speak Rangpuri (which is mainly Bengali with a Rangpuri accent just), but we are not a distinct group called 'Rangpuri people'. People who live in Rangpur Division, call themselves 'Rangpuriya' or 'Rangpurian' but that is just a regional identity, not an ethnic one. Additionally, there is no reliable source to support this article. None of the citations actually mention 'Rangpuri people', making the article misleading.

Given that none of the sources mention the subject of the article, the "Rangpuri people", Googling also gives nothing, and someone on the ground says the article makes no sense, this article should be deleted.

Redirect. The New York Post is not the best example of a reputable source (hard to get worse, really). Bernama isn't listed at WP:RS/P, but it is a Malaysian state-controlled media outlet, and it seems more than a little biased towards these "deviants". I don't think it can be treated as a reliable source in this context. That leaves the last source, which, while more reliable, is just news and a direct follow-up to a source already given. This information is still valuable, but I don't think it warrants a standalone article. It can be merged into the founder's article. Also, I don't believe the other three keep votes (aside from NebulaDrift's) should be factored into the outcome of this discussion, as none made coherent arguments for the notability of this movement, with one going so far as to baselessly accuse the nominator of bias. — Anonymous 02:03, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Of course this could all be covered in Oakengates. I am just looking but these two sources only record one or two mentions of people and a small settlement like said maybe housing or industries. When compared on an OS map like here: [43] The area is occupied by Wombridge Iron Works and then in another side by side of 1940s, it is almost if anything abandoned. Nothing there but likely wasteland? I think Wombridge could have an article of its own since it has some mentions online with historical and other notes. Of course I will make on my sandbox and will maintain it as a draft until the time is right to offer it up as a separate issue. Hollyhurst perhaps should be put under Oakengates. Maybe as a ward and a little about the iron works once occupying an area north of Oakengates. DragonofBatley (talk) 08:01, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This is very helpful. Could it have wider application? There are a lot of wards/suburbs/areas articles which appear to have little/no notability. An example I'm just looking at is Daisy Bank. Could we Re-direct it into the Suburbs section of Walsall? KJP1 (talk) 08:31, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think Daisy Bank is a bit different to Hollyhurst. I'll explain briefly but formally why. Daisy Bank had two names Daisy Bank, Walsall and Daisy Bank railway station near Bilston. Now thats two different areas. But Walsalls Daisy Bank has some notability even if minor to primary research.

These are just examples. Perhaps these could be added to the article and see if it may help whether it has enough notability to be an article? Maybe like Chuckery, Caldmore and Pleck for example?

Delete. I don't really oppose redirect to Oakengates, but nor do I think it would be useful – the article is named "Hollyhurst, Telford" and I can find no evidence that there is a "Hollyhurst, Telford" in the sense that people call a neighbourhood of Telford "Hollyhurst". The addresses in the ward all give their neighbourhood as Wrockwardine Wood. The electoral ward is specifically for Oakengates parish – it has no relevance outside of the context of Oakengates parish – so is unlikely to ever be referred to as "Hollyhurst, Telford". In the 2 sources that DragonofBatley cites, Hollyhurst appears to be the name of a house/property in an address (and again, the addresses give the property's neighbourhood as Wrockwardine Wood). Joe D (t) 18:21, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Like Steinsky, I don't find evidence of a Hollyhurst ever being here. This was historically Wombridge, with the spot geolocated in the article being in the middle of the erstwhile Wombridge Iron Works and south of the Wombridge Colliery. Yes this is the Wombridge that is in the VCH, that we don't even have an article about. Hollyhurst Road, the only thing apparently named Hollyhurst on any map, is off Wombridge Road, for pity's sakes! I cannot find anything to indicate that this isn't just made up from whole cloth based upon 1 road name. How on Earth does anyone research this place and not come up with Wombridge straight away? Or manage to invent a Hollyhurst? Uncle G (talk) 11:59, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- DragonofBatley, who created this, if I recall correctly said the place names used for article titles were taken from Google Maps and Hollyhurst is indeed named thereon. Rupples (talk) 13:58, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - I cannot speak to Google Maps, which in my experience scrapes names from random business WWW sites that do not know their own proper addresses; but I'm consulting non-dumb-algorithmically-made maps like the modern O.S. maps that still have Wombridge marked today (and no Hollyhurst) just south of the geolocation pin in this article and this 1885 O.S. map which has "Wombridge" in three sizes of type splatted across it. It's quite unsubtle about it. ☺ And from knowing the correct name it is but a short step to the history books. There's not only the Victoria County History. There are a number of Shropshire history books that document, for example, the Augustinian priory of St. Leonard in Wombridge (Wombridge Priory), remembered today in the name of Priory Road that is just south along Wombridge Road from the aforementioned Hollyhurst Road. In the face of all of this, which practically shouts itself from maps and history books, it is absurd to go with the idea of Hollyhurst. Uncle G (talk) 06:15, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- There is verifiably a Hollyhurst ward for elections to Oakengates Town Council, but I'm coming to the view that such wards don't even merit a redirect, which would logically require a dab page entry too in most cases. (Although a dab page entry might just be useful here, as there is a real Hollyhurst also in Shropshire!) PamD 14:33, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article: Justification for Dai Ying’s Notability

I strongly believe that Dai Ying meets Wikipedia’s General Notability Guideline (WP:GNG) and WP:ENT (Entertainment Industry-Specific Notability) due to her leadership role at iQIYI, her involvement in award-winning productions, and significant media coverage. Below are the key reasons why this article should be retained:

1. Professional Roles

Dai Ying is a Vice President at iQIYI, one of China’s largest video streaming platforms, and serves as the General Manager of the Original Drama Development Center. Her leadership role in overseeing original content development at iQIYI positions her as an influential figure in China’s entertainment industry.[44] Executive-level figures in major entertainment companies frequently meet notability guidelines, given their direct impact on large-scale productions.

Dai Ying, as Vice President of iQIYI, is directly responsible for developing original content and overseeing hit Chinese dramas that gained international recognition (The Bad Kids, The Long Night)[45]. This aligns with figures like Ted Sarandos, Kathleen Kennedy, and Bela Bajaria, who are considered notable for their impact on streaming and original content production.

Another crucial aspect to consider is the underrepresentation of Chinese women executives in the entertainment industry on Wikipedia. While Western executives frequently meet notability guidelines, there are very few articles on Chinese female media executives, despite their significant impact on the entertainment industry.

Wikipedia has a well-documented systemic bias issue, particularly in terms of gender and geographical representation. Studies reported on Wikipedia have shown that women are underrepresented in Wikipedia’s coverage. As mentioned by the co-founder Jimmy Wales, as a newcomer female editor, I'm hoping to be encouraged by writing about notable women in my lifetime even though I work 12 hours in a restaurant. Wikipedia is an inspiration and gives me hope one day I can also work in an office.

Women in Chinese entertainment and business leadership are often overlooked, despite their contributions to global media.

2. Notable Productions with scale

Dai Ying has served as the executive producer for several critically acclaimed Chinese dramas that have gained international recognition.[46] These include:

The Bad Kids – A highly acclaimed suspense drama that became a cultural phenomenon in China, gaining high ratings on Douban (8.9/10) and sparking widespread discussion.
The Long Night – An award-winning drama that received the Best OTT Original Series Award at the Busan International Film Festival. The show was also broadcast on NHK Japan.
"Dr. Tang" – A notable medical drama highlighting China’s advancements in medical technology.
War of Faith - Captured the attention of overseas markets

These productions have been recognized both domestically and internationally, which strengthens Dai Ying’s case for notability. She has produced over 30 dramas. The dramas she produced has received 7 wins and 2 nominations.

Source: IMDb

3. Significant Media Coverage

Dai Ying has been interviewed and featured in various reputable media outlets discussing her role in shaping China’s streaming industry. These interviews and articles provide independent, in-depth coverage of her work, meeting Wikipedia’s WP:GNG requirement for multiple reliable sources.

Source: Launch new projects

Source: Won Producer of the Year

Conclusion

Dai Ying meets Wikipedia’s WP:GNG and WP:ENT guidelines as:

She holds a top executive role at a major streaming company (iQIYI).

She has produced multiple award-winning, widely recognized dramas.

She has received independent media coverage from reputable sources.

Based on these factors, I urge editors to reconsider the deletion nomination. I am most willing to learn and would greatly appreciate sharing on feedback on how to improve the article.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

@Wasianpower: Source [4] actually originates from Qianlong.com (here) and is not an official Sohu release. It's most likely a commercial press release, as it's very promotional and doesn't have the reporter's name on it. Source [5] is actually posted by a Sohu self-media account.

I see, apologies — wasn't familiar with Sohu's formatting. I'll change my vote to neutral to now, there's enough breadth of coverage that it seems plausible to me that this subject could meet notability, but I don't have the experience to properly navigate the sourcing. [49] This source seems like it may meet GNG but it may also be self published, and this source [50] reads a bit promotional in tone (from the generated translation at least) but may also qualify. She also has an entry to on the CN Wikipedia, which could be used to find additional sourcing [51], though this entry is also tagged with concerns about COI and promotional content. 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Rosentad @Wasianpower

Thank you for your feedback. But just because it's reported by a sohu self media account, how does it say that it's self published content when it's a media report? Please let me know so I can improve my 3rd party sources selection for the future. Also, how can I further improve the article? Thank you both.

1. Davies, Bernard (1975-06-09). "One Man's Television". Broadcast. No. 814. p. 19. ProQuest 1776921097.
  The review provides about 589 words of coverage about the subject. The review notes: "Last week's 'Chronicle' programme, The Celts (BBC 2, Wednesday), seemed to me to adorn its topic rather more than to explain it. Indeed, although it was packed full of information, and although the Heavy Brigade of archaeology—Professor Stuart Piggott and others—moved through it in echelon of squadrons, the programme was, as it were, inefficiently informative; the information was, no doubt, all there, but it did not come across. At least, here is one viewer—anxious to be informed, eager for enlightenment—who found at the end of the program-me that he had learned little new."
  The review notes: "Not, then, a documentary in the educational nuts-and-bolts style of, say, an Open University programme on topology (whatever that is), but a sort of reflective essay in the style of Montaigne or—more appropriately—Haz-litt, in which the author explores a theme from a personal standpoint; a theme which he adorns rather than explains. 'The Celts' conveyed a sense of enthusiasm for its subject which, surely, is a legitimate and important function of documentary. One may criticise it, unfairly, because it did not approach its subject in the style of a school or university textbook; one may criticise it, less unfairly, because the manner sometimes got in the way of the matter; one must, however, acknowledge the rare pleasure conferred by 'The Celts' as a creative programme, and the remarkable way in which it re-sensitised one's somewhat atrophied taste-buds to the achievements of Celtic peoples."

  The review notes: "The Celts. After Saturday's soccer international we in London hardly need to ask "Who were the Celts?" But this series is almost invariably fascinating and this piece of archaeological detective work should be well worth overcoming our prejudices to see. David Parry-Jones finds the Celts a vain lot—inclined to do battle with the Romans without helmets for fear of spoiling their coiffures. They were also, it seems, widespread throughout Europe notorious drunks, addicted to human sacrifice, ruled by wild-eyed Druids and capable of producing the finest art forms of any early European people."

  The review notes: "Commentary is unavoidable in television archaeology, but why David Parry-Jones had to compete with a battery of symphony orchestras and at least one choir in the sound track of J. Mervyn Williams's history of The Celts (BBC-2) I cannot imagine. In truth this was not among best-organised issues of "Chronicle." It was untidy in minor matters like the identification of speakers and left the major issue of where the Celts originated in a kind of Celtic twilight somewhere the plains of Hungary. The principal achievement was to reinforce the prejudices of those who dislike the Celts. One Anne Ross declared that they had lost Maiden Castle in Dorset to the Romans through drink and because they were better at making a noise than fighting. The script of Emyr Humphreys was a bit free with its generalisations."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow The Celts to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
Cunard (talk) 11:11, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Either this series was not made in 1978, or the three reviews found by Cunard are not about this series. I'm going to take some time to work out which it is, and if, whenever it was made and wherever it was shown, it is notable. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:10, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@RebeccaGreen: - The article claims that the series was only shown in Wales, yet the two newspapers in particular- the (London) Evening Standard and the Daily Telegraph- are based in England. Knowing what I know about the Anglo-centricity of the media based there, it's unlikely that even the Telegraph (distributed UK-wide) would have reviewed a Wales-only series.

Also, they appear to refer to a single episode of a series/strand/slot called "Chronicle", which references to the four-part "Celts" don't mention. Yet one of the people mentioned in their reviews (David Parry-Jones) is also linked to the 1978 series.

My guess- and to be clear I'm not claiming this *is* anything other than a guess!- is that the 1978 series was possibly either a more ambitious standalone take on the same premise inspired by the single-episode 1975 version or an otherwise unrelated series that had the same name because it was about The Celts by people who knew about the Celts.

(I should also make clear that while I "created" this article, that was only by moving existing content from The Celts (1987 TV series) and done in order to keep the two apparently-unrelated (and incorrectly combined) series separate. That said, I wouldn't have done so if I didn't feel the 1978 series was most likely notable enough to warrant an article). Ubcule (talk) 17:32, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @DonaldD23: - The scripts were apparently deemed notable enough by the National Library of Wales to have been archived by them in the first place. Ubcule (talk) 16:58, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That has nothing to do with the notability requirements of Wikipedia, which states that 3rd party sources are needed. Scripts are primary sources. DonaldD23 talk to me 17:49, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Donaldd23: - That's fine, because the BBC scripts themselves aren't what's being cited there. (Indeed, their content- as far as I can tell- isn't even accessible via the link given nor available online).

The references themselves are the metadata record from the National Library of Wales- i.e. the aforementioned third party- describing an artifact they hold, i.e. the physical scripts.

That's not the same thing, and as such it arguably constitutes a demonstration of sufficient notability from a reputable third party.

Ubcule (talk) 18:53, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think being archived in a national library is an indication of notability in itself. National libraries are usually libraries of legal deposit (they hold everything published in the country), and they also archive unpublished material, ephemera, maps, etc, as part of their purpose of preserving the literature and culture of the nation. Not everything they hold is individually notable. RebeccaGreen (talk) 01:00, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Thank you for catching the difference in years, @RebeccaGreen. I found these sources by searching for "The Celts" and "David Parry-Jones" so thought it was the same television series. I am striking my support for retention for now. I had added a "Reception" section to the article. I am saving the article content I had added here:

Extended content

The Celts is a 1975 television series produced by BBC2.

Reception

Bernard Davies of Broadcast penned a mostly negative review of the show. He said it "adorn[ed] its topic rather more than to explain it" and "inefficiently informative". He praised it for "the remarkable way in which it re-sensitised one's somewhat atrophied taste-buds to the achievements of Celtic peoples".^[1] The Evening Standard television critic Celia Brayfield praised the show as "almost invariably fascinating" and said "this piece of archaeological detective work should be well worth overcoming our prejudices to see".^[2] The Daily Telegraph's Sean Day-Lewis called the programme disorganised and found it "untidy in minor matters like the identification of speakers and left the major issue of where the Celts originated in a kind of Celtic twilight somewhere the plains of Hungary". He thought Emyr Humphreys's script was "a bit free with its generalisations".^[3]

Cunard (talk) 09:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cunard: - Please see my comment above as it covers a couple of important points.

Firstly, it goes into more detail about why the single-episode 1975 "Celts" is most likely *not* the same as the four-part 1978 one- despite the involvement of the same people- and reviews for the former should not be associated with the latter.

Secondly, I mentioned this in passing in the same comment, but to make the point more clearly here... the review extracts you posted *themselves* strongly imply that the 1975 "The Celts" was *not* a "series" as your putative article states- nor even a standalone programme- but rather a single episode of an existing series or strand called "Chronicle":

(1) "Last week's 'Chronicle' programme, The Celts (BBC 2, Wednesday), seemed to me..."

(2) Although omitted by yourself, the original programme schedule you quoted from actually says

"8.0 CHRONICLE: The Celts. After Saturday's soccer international we in London..."

Note the general format used by the listing, with the time followed by the main programme title in capitalised bold text, followed by (where applicable) that week's particular episode or subject in regular text.

(3) "...J. Mervyn Williams's history of The Celts (BBC-2) I cannot imagine. In truth this was not among best-organised issues of "Chronicle.""

The "Chronicle" referred to is almost certainly this series which ran from 1966 to 1991.

As such, it's unlikely that this one particular episode would warrant its own article. Ubcule (talk) 00:07, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ubcule:, @Cunard: - I notice that Chronicle (British TV programme) has no entries at all for 1975 in the table of episodes. This program, and the reviews as references, could be added there. RebeccaGreen (talk) 00:48, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If the four-part 1978 series doesn't warrant an article of its own, I'd be open to suggestions about where it would best be redirected or pointed to since- as I mentioned above- my main aim in moving the content was to avoid conflating that series (and the content written about it) with the unrelated 1987 series of the same name. Ubcule (talk) 00:24, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Just to confuse the issue even more, I have found a 'TV Spotlight' column from 1976 in the Chester Chronicle which says "A LOOK at the old pre - Christian beliefs of the Celts can be seen the third programme in the series called ‘Y Celtiaid’ (The Celts) which will be shown on BBC Wales Television on Sunday. The druids will be discussed together with references to human sacrifice, the sacred oak of the Celts and lakes which were thought to be gateways to the other world. Taking part in the programme will be Professor Proinsias MacCana Dublin University and Professor Stuart Piggott Professor Archaeology at Edinburgh University the author of a book entitled ‘The Druids ’. Is this the same series? Was it made and shown before 1978? Is it yet another series called The Celts?

I am not finding more about a series shown in 1978 - just TV listings and one short 'coming soon' column which reads like a producer's summary, not a review. RebeccaGreen (talk) 00:45, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I do not think there are any independent sources regarding the set, but individual sourcing on each team's total playoff appearances seems likelier to find. I agree with Cbl62 that a list such as this is encyclopedic. Therefore, I would prefer a different option than deleting. A rename or even merge target may work better.

Keep. She didn't just assume "some positions" at the Copyright Office; she was acting Register of Copyrights, the top position, the head of the entire Copyright Office, with responsibility for all U.S. policy relating to copyright law. I know that "register" sounds like a purely ministerial title, like a county register, but it is the equivalent to a position like the head of the US Patent and Trademark Office. It's just that the USPTO head's title has changed from the mundane U.S. Commissioner of Patents to the more ornate Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property, while the Copyright Office has stuck to its original title. Frankly, each of the registers in the List of registers of copyrights merits an article.

No objection to improving the sourcing.

That said, however, this has been tagged as unsourced since February 2017 (almost as soon as it was created), so even keeping this should probably require actual sourcing of some kind, even if to refute any "hoax" claims — and the Philippine broadcasting topic area is rife with insufficient sourcing and GNG failures.

Entirely non-notable subject with no significant coverage I could find in a BEFORE. Though there's a few subjects in the Marvel Comics lore that relate to vampires (Such as Blade (comics) and Morbius the Living Vampire, the topic of Marvel's specific incarnation of vampires is just entirely non-notable. All mentions of vampires in sources I could find are just discussing characters who happen to be vampires, like the aforementioned Morbius, and notability is not inherited from these characters. Most of the article is just overly detailed in-universe information, so I don't see much need to keep the article around, but if there's a valid merge/redirect target, I would not be against a very light merge or redirect per AtD.

Delete per nom - There are plenty of sources on notable Marvel characters who are or are related to vampires (for example, the mentioned Blade and Morbius), but there is not really coverage in reliable sources on the overall concept of the "vampire" in Marvel Comics or how they are distinctively notable from general depictions of vampires in fiction. There is not a single non-primary source being used here, and so the article seems to be nothing but taking plot information from different comic stories and trying to cobble a topic together from those.

Merge to Universal Music New Zealand. There are problems with the nomination - record labels exist to release albums, so a label page mainly covering the artists makes perfect sense, and we should look to WP:MUSIC rather than ORG for guidance on music-related topics. WP:MUSIC 5 gives a sense of what an important label is, and this label, in my view, would only squeak by; it didn't operate for a very long time, and it primarily released the output of three artists (Annabel Fay, Goldenhorse, and Opshop) - but those three artists are famous in New Zealand. There is encyclopedic interest in linking these artists together and in providing basic information about their label's activity, and I think the best place for that is on the page of the current parent label of Siren, Universal Music New Zealand.

Keep I have edited the article a bit. She at least meets WP:GNG, and probably WP:NCREATIVE, though I have not checked for reviews of all the films she has produced (there is a list in an earlier version of this article, but the current article only names two she received award nominations for in 2022). The sources do provide coverage of her, as suggested by their titles: "Zoom sur la meilleure scénariste de la RDC : Belinda Kikusa Kandi dit « Bellevue », la Femme sage"; "Belinda Kandy dit « Belle Vue », apporte une nouvelle touche dans le cinéma congolais"; "Bellevue KANDY | 50 Femmes qui inspirent"; ). "L'actrice comédienne Belinda Bellevie Officiel est à deux doigts d'instaurer un nouveau record historique dans le cinéma congolais". (Note both her professional and real names used with variations in spelling.) RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:27, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not seeing anything that would make this a pass under WP:BAND. No in depth reviews, charting records or significant awards or recognition. it lacks significant, extensive coverage of the BAND, making it difficult to assess their notability. AgusTates (talk) 23:44, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
