True - merge to Toronto FC II as appropriate. We don't perhaps need the record against every other team, but the list of players and some of the stats are more relevant. Nfitz (talk) 14:45, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Other team articles don't have massive lists of former players and Category Toronto FC II players already fills that use. The records could be useful, but the data is so out of date that it's not useful. It'd effectively need to be completely re-done, so it's more of a WP:TNT situation in my mind since at least half the stuff is now wrong/outdated. RedPatch (talk) 14:54, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment so apart from the current state of the articles, which is clearly lacking, I don't see what makes this cruft any more than something like Milton Keynes Dons F.C. league record by opponent. And I know WP:OSE is a weak argument, but I am unclear as to where the line is drawn. Is it because it is a reserve side? What is the standard required for such an article? Because WP:NOTSTATS also makes it clear that such articles can exist. Is it a sourcing issue for this particular team? Just trying to clear up what here is the issue. Jay eyem (talk) 00:26, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment My reasoning is that it's so out of date, plus the fact it is a reserve side in the third tier. I've basically been the main editor keeping this team's regular page up to date over the last couple of years and even I find this a bit unnecessary, and if I'm not going to update it, it's doubtful anyone will. This was basically last updated after 2016, when the team was founded in 2015. Basically in my mind it's a situation where the article is never going to be fixed and there's next to no interest in it (page views are next to non existant apart from a sharp spike the day this was nominated), so it's not needed. What's the point of an article with incorrect information. RedPatch (talk) 01:56, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm alright, I'm a bit neutral on this. Part of me thinks a WP:TNT would be appropriate since it is so out of date, but part of me also thinks that the article can be salvaged and that deletion is not cleanup. I don't want to make a judgement on the notability of the subject without a bit more information, but either way these articles are certainly in need of improvement if not deletion. Jay eyem (talk) 02:25, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I was the nominator, but seeing as there are multiple votes for Merge, I am okay with that and then I will try to clean it up with what's relevant. Obviously some of the stuff might be a little too much for a regular article, but I'll try to work it through. I still prefer delete as my primary option though.

Comment -- This is about the pastor of a local church on which we have no article. Despite its name there is no indication of the church's size. I am not doubting that anything in the article is true, but that does not imply notability. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:31, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per MrsSnoozyTurtle.

The article appears to be entirely non-notable. Of the 7 references listed, 3 are dead, 3 don't mention the topic but instead are blogs or pages advertising gay life or sex workers and only one archived page mentions the group. There appear to be no current RS , so they may be defunct. Even if the group still exists, I can't see that they are any more notable than a local chess club or history society, and even many primary schools fail to make the notability cut. Bermicourt (talk) 22:40, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete advertisement for a small club. That people here would probably look favorably on their purposes and emdeavors shouldn't affect whether there should be an article. ` DGG ( talk ) 05:51, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The English version of their website is still active, but zero sources for the group, there seems to be a musical act in France called the Chouettes. I'm not seeing notability and there is no article in French wiki either. Oaktree b (talk) 21:07, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Note the existence of the (much larger) article 2022 anti-war protests in Russia. Remember that WP:NOTABILITY of the subject is based on coverage by sources, and not current article size. We have a WP:BIAS for happenings in or near the West, and subjects in the global south and east are underrepresented (I have even seen this fact mentioned in a source, but unfortunately can’t find it), and ought to be given consideration for inclusion. —MichaelZ.14:34, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Mzajac: Thanks for mentioning the western bias and educating us. Please spend some time to read the sources presented in the article. These aren't anti-war or pro/against Russia/Ukraine protests. These were protests to demand from the Indian government, safe evacuation of Indian students from Ukraine. Also, contrary to your notion, DWThere have also been protests in India, where anger has been directed at NATO and Western powers.". - hako9 (talk) 20:37, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t get your point (and I can’t tell whether your thanks is sincere or facetious, since it clashes with what else you’ve written). Nothing I wrote has anything to do with the substance of the protests. —MichaelZ.21:25, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not deserve a stand-alone article and there is nothing of significance for a full/selective merge. It is currently just a list of low decibel run-of-the-mill protests. The sources clearly indicate that most, if not all of them, were protests demanding safe evacuation of Indian students from Ukraine and they weren't pro or against Russia/Ukraine. - hako9 (talk) 20:23, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A general election that will happen in 2025. There is nothing known apart from the incumbent president being eligible (so not even confirmed to be participating). Seems like a case of WP:TOOSOON. ~StyyxTalk?21:44, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:BURO. This is the next election, it's certain to happen, and deleting the article serves no purpose as it will just have to be recreated at some point in the not-too-distant future – it's just creating additional work for someone further down the line. Also, I'd be amazed if there was no opinion polling data available yet; in most countries this is available even shortly after the previous election. However, I have no idea how to search for it in Spanish. Number5712:03, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how BURO relates to this? Saying that it'll be recreated at some point (2+ years can't be considered "not-too-distant") is no excuse to keep something that fails the GNG. Also there are no candidates yet so I don't know what polls you are expecting to find. ~StyyxTalk?19:27, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per @Number 57:, candidate speculation and candidates already ongoing with several headlines, more than nothing known. Lasso recently announced that he might stand for re-election, here was the headline; "Guillermo Lasso will govern Ecuador, however, he is already considering the possibility of a second term in 2025."[1][2] Carlos Rabascall of the main opposition party announced his candidacy to the 2025 election, headline; "Carlos Rabascall announces that he will be a presidential candidate for 2025; Democratic Center supports him."[3] Ex president Correa also talked about the 2025 elections, saying, "I think that in 2025 we can win the elections".[4] Pedro Freile also announced that he will push a new presidential candidacy in 2025 with his Amigo movement. [5] Yaku Pérez that finished third in 2021 also announced that he will stand as a candidate in the 2025 presidential elections.[6] In conclusion, as this article sums it up, many candidates are already eying for president in 2025, Guillermo Lasso (considering), Yaku Pérez (confirmed), Carlos Rabascall (confirmed), Pedro Freile (confirmed).[7] So this is certainly not to soon as it already is a lively topic in Ecuador. Another thing to be considered, 4 years is fine and there are plenty of in future election articles, 2024 United States presidential election, 2024 Taiwanese presidential election, 2026 Peruvian general election, 2025 Norwegian parliamentary election, Next German federal election, Next Japanese general election, 2026 Portuguese presidential election, 2025 Polish presidential election, Next Belarusian presidential election and these are just a few, there are much more. The candidates I listed can be added to the article. BastianMAT (talk) 00:05, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:BLP1E, and WP:ENTERTAINER. First AFD closed as no consensus, but in my opinion there was no basis in wikipedia policy to the arguments made by the keep voters in that discussion and the closer (Star Mississippi) did not properly consider policy and the strength of the arguments. Lacks significant coverage in quality independent sources. Subject placed 12th on the current season of RuPaul's Drag Race, and withdrew early from the competition due to an injury. Sources are either too closely connected to the subject, not in-depth, or fail because of quality issues per policy at WP:TABLOID. There is no WP:SUSTAINED coverage of the subject with sources revolving entirely around this year's RuPaul's Drag Race reality competition. Nothing to indicate the subject is notable outside of season 14 of Drag Race, and that the subject should have a stand alone article. See source analysis below. Note to closer please consider the strength of the arguments in your close per WP:NOTAVOTE; in particular acknowledging issues relating to WP:BLP1E and WP:SUSTAINED such as the complete lack of significant coverage outside of routine coverage of season 14 of RuPaul's Drag Race. 4meter4 (talk) 18:43, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Self reported. People in entertainment are not always reliable about self reporting an accurate age. Also fails per WP:TWITTER. TWITTER should never be used to verify content on wikipedia.
An Indian celebrity news tabloid. Essentially a regurgitated press release from World of Wonder provided to the media. Press releases lack independence per AFD policy. Further MEAWW often publishes stories for pay by the subject of its articles and works as a PR platform for money; thus anything it publishes lacks independene and cannot be considered reliable.
As an interview, lacks independence from the subject and should be used with caution as a way of verifying information. For notability purposes, cannot be used as evidence for meeting GNG.
Promotional advertisement for an event. Lacks independence and has limited reliability (only proves a future event was advertised not that it actually occurred; we need an independent review covering the actual event and published after it happended to verify it.)
This is a routine WP:TABLOID recap of a television episode of Drag Race in which Kornbread was discussed. As a simple recap as opposed to a critical review, I would consider this closer to a primary source rather than a true secondary source. It can verify content about this episode of show and her involvement, but it lacks significance due to WP:ROUTINE and WP:NOTNEWS for the purposes of evaluating WP:GNG. )
This is a routine news recap of a television episode of Drag Race in which Kornbread was named as a highlight. This is approaching a positive critical review, but it's such a short article and lacks any significant analysis of Kornbread and her drag (merely stating what she did and not really analyzing why it worked and why it made an impact) that it's not really what I would consider a "review" but a PR puff piece for the TV show. In other words, it's a thinly written news story and therefore lacks significance for GNG purposes.)
Off all the sources in the article, this is the best one. It's independent and Kornbread is the main subject. But is it really significant? A drag contestant getting injured early in the season and having to withdraw does not leave much of a legacy. Certainly, nothing here that shows Kornbread is significant outside of the reality competition and deserves a stand alone encyclopedia article separate from the article on the television series.
A link to the generic login page of instagram. This doesn't verify anything, including the content that it claims to verify where it is cited in the article.
Promotional article for upcoming 14th season (now airing) of RuPaul's Drag Race. Essentially boils down to highlighting that this is the first season of Drag Race with multiple trans constestants. Given that there have been many trans queens now on the show in past seasons, this seems to be more of a pertinent fact for the article on this individual season of the show as opposed to providing any significant coverage or notability on Kornbread as a drag artist. What did we learn about her other than she is trans, a drag queen, and from L.A. who is competing on the show? Nothing.
This is the second promotional article focusing on the casting of two trans women for the currently airing season (but published before it aired to promote the show) of Drag Race. Again, this doesn't show significant cover of Kornbread Jeté, but significant coverage of RuPaul's Drag Race (season 14).
This is the third article focusing on the casting of two trans women for the currently airing season of Drag Race. Again, this doesn't show significant cover of Kornbread Jeté, but significant coverage of RuPaul's Drag Race (season 14). Also lacks independence as an interview.
There must be multiple qualifying sources to meet the notability requirements
We just went through this. Is there a better way for you to appeal the closer's decision than to force editors to have another AfD discussion, just because you didn't prefer the outcome? ---Another Believer(Talk)19:01, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@ Another Believer It was an improper close that didn't address the relevant argument of WP:BLP1E. Neither did the keep votes demonstrate in their arguments how this subject passes WP:BLP1E (or WP:ENTERTAINER for that matter). Without a rebuttal of soundly made arguments based in BLP policy in the first AFD (nobody attempted to directly address BLP1E in the keep camp; thus ignoring the key main policy behind the deletion argument), I don't see how the closer could close with no consensus in good faith. We take WP:BLP issues very seriously at wikipedia. Rather than drag the closer through an AFD review (which would inevitably suggest a renomination) it's just best to renominate, and allow for more community participation. Best.4meter4 (talk) 19:07, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I could have, but chose not to. Deletion review is stressful for the closer, and ultimately the end result would have likely led us back to a renomination or a re-opening / re-listing of the first AFD. This was simpler, kinder, faster, and permissible under AFD policy. All benefits to doing it this way. Best.4meter4 (talk) 17:32, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for this. Belatedly as I just saw this in the overdue log. However should you disagree with a close if mine in the future feel free to talk to me. I never mind discussion as I don't think I'm infallible. I see now that you pinged me. Not sure why it didn't show. Bad wiki, no cookies! StarMississippi18:22, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - I'm revising my !vote from the previous AfD after thinking about the policy basis for the close, the sources I found and added to the discussion, and WP:BLP1E. In my previous !vote, I undermined WP:BLP1E#2 If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, both with the sources and the suggestion that a redirect was appropriate due to the potential for her career development. I also undermined WP:BLP1E#3 by adding sources that focus on the historic significance of Jeté's participation and by suggesting that this significant event could be added to three other articles. Her role also appears to be well-documented, based on the volume of coverage available. WP:BLP1E states, We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met, and from this policy perspective, even though my previous !vote was saying otherwise, it appears the sources and my comments were supporting another outcome. My current !vote is weak because WP:BLP1E also states The significance of an event or the individual's role is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources and how close in time we are to the event. Beccaynr (talk) 22:43, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Thank you Beccaynr for making a cogent argument which highlights both the strengths and weaknesses of this topic under policy at WP:BLP1E. I personally am still of the opinion that your original assessment in the first AFD is the correct assessment and that we do not yet have enough distance or evidence of WP:SUSTAINED coverage to pass criteria 2 and 3 of BLP1E. It’s WP:TOOSOON to keep the topic, and because it is a BLP we should err on the side of caution as instructed in the opening paragraphs at WP:BLP.4meter4 (talk) 00:45, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Again? The individual was featured in one season of a TV program and only hyperlocal coverage, nothing national. Although I find a Billboard article published in Feb 2022, might be used to prove notability, still leaning delete. If we can find more sources, I could be swayed to keep. Oaktree b (talk) 20:53, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep per argument I made in prior afd and my own distaste for restarting an AFD immediately after the previous one didn't end in the nominator's desired result. Rab V (talk) 22:30, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. At the last AfD, I believe my !vote was a "weak keep", but since that time the subject has only received more coverage. They will be appearing in the feature film Hocus Pocus 2, with coverage from Entertainment Weekly, Gay Times, them, and other outlets surrounding that. Given that the subject is appearing in two high profile projects (RPDR and Hocus Pocus 2) and continues to get coverage, I'm dropping the "weak" from my previous !vote. --Kbabej (talk) 15:21, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Given that the subject has already gotten coverage for the project listed, CRYSTAL doesn't apply. The coverage is there. --Kbabej (talk) 16:12, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sigh. Kbabej, the announcement of future projects is not significant coverage. Announced films don't always happen. Last minute cast changes sometimes occur too. We can't assume Hocus Pocus II will get made (see WP:NFF for example of how this impacts articles on films), or if it does Kornbread will be in it. Until it's actually made and released it can't count towards notability. That's policy.4meter4 (talk) 16:19, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Update, it looks like filming already is well underway. So scratch my above comments. Regardless, usually we wait to evaluate the significance of an actor's participation in a film based on whether their performance gets significant coverage in independent sources when evaluating an entertainer in relation to notability. So, I still don't think a cast announcement is useful here for notability purposes. We need critical reviews of her performance in the film for notability.4meter4 (talk) 16:26, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I still think it counts towards notability with the amount of coverage she's received, so we'll just have to agree to disagree. Kbabej (talk) 17:18, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment as the admin who closed the prior AfD, just noting "for the record" that I never mind having my closes challenged, but wouldn't want to put stress on the nom either. I'd have appreciated a heads up that there was disagreement with my close and we could have discussed how to handle it rather than an immediate re-nomination. Not officially taking a position, but I maintain that there isn't and will likely not soon be consensus to delete this article. StarMississippi18:20, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep.. or whatever the equivalent of "no consensus" is for a !vote. The recent-ish keep votes have sources that basically say that she has somewhere between a supporting and minor role in Hocus Pocus 2. Which is.. better than the sourcing in the article at nom. I really can't say with any certainty at all that she's not notable, but the same goes for her being notable. casualdejekyll21:04, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I created this title in November, and it hasn't become an article. It should be redirected somewhere. But where? Or perhaps people will object and write an article now that it's at AFD - so it is here rather than RFD. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 17:10, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Every Wikipedia article started out like this, and with time it will probably grow. A short article is still better than nothing. This is the most common term for this concept and it will help to have an article in place for people to write more about it. Crossroads-talk-04:22, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Article's topic is complex. Content is growing and also it is being seen by a few... it needs more precise and specific work in different aspects to be better but just pushing it for deletion is not helpful or very constructive. --Zblace (talk) 07:30, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is obviously an important enough topic for Wikipedia. Some people seeing the acronym DEI will wonder what it means and search in Wikipedia. It could well be contentious how to define it, describe it, etc., but that just means it will take a while to settle down and may need protection eventually. editeur24 (talk) 13:29, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Prod declined with suggested merge to Universal Music Group, but no non-Wikipedia sources seem to suggest that this was ever under their ownership. The generic name makes it hard to search, but I could only find passing mentions to the label at best.
The label doesn't ever seem to have actually been anything other than a shell distributor for other artists, as search results for "Icon Records" "Duane Steele" show that his albums were actually independent releases for which Icon was a distributor. This was the only source I could find that said anything about the label, and it's just a PR piece about one artist signing. Furthermore, the "DaSilva Group" turns up no further results. Little Big Town and Dwight Yoakam's pages don't even mention Icon as a label to which they were signed, further showing that they were only a distributor for other labels.
Furthermore, the inbound links suggest that there may have even been more than one label by this name, as many predate the label's foundation date of 2006. Given that Big Machine Records also has a Nash Icon imprint, and given that the label was only a distributor, this seems like an unlikely candidate for merging or redirection.

Short-lived, defunct record label. Most of the acts signed were red links. The only notable act with releases on the label was Nickelback. Zero sourcing found.
Prod declined with suggested merge to Koch Entertainment Canada, but I've found nothing confirming that Shoreline was ever actually a division of Koch (every search result for "Shoreline Records" + "Koch" just brings up Wikipedia mirrors or omits the "Koch" part entirely).

Redirect... but to where is tough. They had a couple of singles on their own but were mostly known for backing Melba Moore, so they could be redirected to her article. However, that might be confusing because of the seven different bands (at least on Wikipedia) called The Reflections, and it may make a difference if someone is likely to search for "The Reflections (Harlem band) " specifically. If that is a concern, this article could be redirected to the disambig page at Reflections ("Bands" sub-section). The redirect decision can be made based on whatever policy is relevant, or if that process is unclear, just Delete the search term. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 23:02, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG. Only 1 quick mention in one source, to announce he was an interim head coach of a third-level team in Germany. Never played top-flight professionally. Article was created by the now-blocked user Rojodiablcerrocerrocerro, who created a bunch of articles on similar non-notable players, some of which have since been deleted. Fred Zepelin (talk) 15:26, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I think he technically meets the current & contested version of NFOOTBALL, by managing in 3. Liga, but GNG is more important. GiantSnowman15:34, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, interim or caretaker positions do count - but the claim to notability is arguably weaker, especially if it's an assistant or junior coach temporarily promoted for only a match or two. GiantSnowman15:55, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Seems he also meets NFOOTY as a professional player in the tier two league of Paraguay. Overall, more interesting than the typical borderline notable player. Given that we're currently tightening the guidelines, I'm not sure whether he makes the cut, though. —Kusma (talk) 19:45, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ultimately, a player or manager needs to meet WP:BASIC, as the recent RfC decided. It doesn't matter that he played one game on a 2nd-division Paraguayan team. He doesn't have "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" Fred Zepelin (talk) 13:11, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think he played an entire season, but the sourcing for that is pretty terrible (and I think "only German player on the List of foreign footballers in Paraguay" is his main claim to fame). So it looks like probably the Paraguayan second division shouldn't be considered notable automatically. Mentions on the website of Kicker (sports magazine) for his German career are minimal and routine. So yeah, delete. —Kusma (talk) 14:51, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Vote changed to delete. I've just been reading the piece found by Kusma above and it doesn't really add anything so I don't think we will find enough. Doubtful about the Paraguay D2, too. No Great Shaker (talk) 17:37, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm so tempted to do a WP:LIKE because I think the topic is fascinating. But that's an WP:AADD so I'm not doing that. I'll just make a comment to the author: I hope this survives, but have no idea if policy supports this. If it doesn't, maybe you should have and could create an article about corporate sponsorship of sports teams in general, and then include a list. To everyone else, if such an article exists already, and this article doesn't survive AfD, I suggest you move the content to such an article. CT55555 (talk) 07:07, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It meets WP:LISTPURP as a navigational list to provide information about clubs that are or have been sponsored in their name than otherwise. It also fulfils WP:LSC by being clear about its objectives. If @Hariboneagle927: is concerned that it is ambiguous, then that is not a good WP:DEL-REASON. The better thing to do would be WP:BOLD and change it to clarify (Which I would be happy to do if you'd like me to). @CT55555: Would the policies at WP:SAL assist you in that? @Joseph2302:, It's not a NOTAD case, its just a collection of clubs that changed their name after a sponsor (works or economical). The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk)11:26, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I don't consider myself well informed about when lists should or should not be created, but User:The C of E linked to WP:SAL and it seems to meet that criteria. I don't think the points about corporate owned teams is a reason to delete, as that is a different issue and also something that can be fixed if anyone wants to. I made a comment above, but it wasn't a "keep" so don't count my opinion twice please. CT55555 (talk) 15:00, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment if the list actually contained every sports team named after a sponsor, it would be unwieldy. Literally every professional cycling team is named after a sponsor, and they change sponsors every 1-2 seasons, so should all be listed. Which is exactly why this list should be seen as too broad and unencyclopedic. If you want to limit it to just association football clubs then that would be fine IMO, but sports teams will leave way too many teams and make the list unreadably long and pointless.

Delete - An unreleased film that does not satisfy any version of film notability. Draftified once, but then copy-pasted into article space in order to contest the draftification. If the author doesn't want the article in draft space, it doesn't have to be anywhere until the film is released and reviewed. The article has been reference-bombed, but a review of the references is not needed to see that the article does not speak for itself and does not establish notability.

Nothing is known about him except that he died few days ago and was awarded the Hero of Ukraine. AFAIK WP:NSOLDIER was retired, so WP:GNG/WP:NBIO needs to apply. Uk wiki article has almost no additional information except two sentences about his pre-military life - he was a football coach, and an Ukrainian football portal run a short obit about him (source). Circumstances of his death are not known. With all due respect, I think this merits an entry in a list (for example, of Hero of Ukraine award recipients), but not a stand-alone article. Note that I'd be happy to withdraw this nom if more sources are found. PS. Very similar cases that may merit their own AfDs: Andriy Litun, Yevheniy Volkov.

Keep, I don't quite get the argument around trivial coverage. Just now, I did a quick search and found two articles about the organisation on the Australian Financial Review website. For those who are not acquainted, the AFR is a major Australian newshead.
Apart from that, I was somehow familiar with the name of the organisation before I read the article, even though I didn't really know anything about the group. They seem to have some prominence, albiet locally Inchiquin (talk) 07:03, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply. WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. So regurgitated "news" that relies entirely on company announcement or quotes/interviews are no Independent. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and I can't find any, topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 14:42, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I’ve added three refs after a minimal search and there are obviously many more. The article needs more footnotes but the subject is the founder and long-term editor of Greece’s main conservative broadsheet newspaper so for anyone willing to put the time in that won’t be hard.

Merge to List of tallest people if any of them aren't already listed there. Note that they do get coverage for their height, so this would be a valid page if the information was not better off in the other article. DreamFocus05:05, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - all of the above. WP:TNT it. What's more, the WWE is particularly bad for over exaggerating the heights and weights of its performers. A lot of the performers wear lifts in their boots. As there's no sourcing, can't be merged. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs)10:54, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Hansen Sebastian:@Dream Focus: as stated the hight information provided by the WWE is probably unreliable, and in any case only the top three have a truly remarkable purported hight (i.e. similar to the top listed people on the tallest people article). It’s also debatable whether pro wrestling can be considered a “sport” to count in the sports section. In other words, there’s really nothing to merge.

Keep - The article is in bad shape, but should not be deleted, as he clearly meets WP:NARTIST and WP:GNG. He was the subject of a BBC documentary. He has work in several permanent collections of notable museums (three collections + citation added to the article). It seems that the nom may not have performed a WP:BEFORE search. Netherzone (talk) 03:50, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
very weak keep I tried to clean up the article and removed the items I could not find sources for. I could only find sourcing for the year of birth and death. No evidence of being in the collection of Prince Charles. No evidence of a BBC documentary (but I marked that as citation needed rather than remove). After reviewing the available information online it looks like the same info and phrases are used on various gallery websites and seem promotional. I did however added inline citations for "Benezit" and "AskArt" which nudge him towards WP:NARTIST. And the recently added museum collections (ArtUK) citations contribute to notability too.

Advertorialized article about a pop music duo, with no properly sourced claim to passage of WP:NMUSIC. The notability claim here is essentially that one song exists, which is not enough in and of itself to secure inclusion in Wikipedia, and the sourcing is a mixture of short blurbs, blogs and primary sources (MusicBrainz, Spotify) that aren't support for notability at all, which doesn't add up to enough coverage to secure passage of WP:GNG in lieu of having to accomplish anything that would actually satisfy NMUSIC. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which musicians are automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their debut single recursively verifies its own existence on Spotify — there's simply nothing here that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to accomplish more than just recording one song, or from having to have more than just a tiny smattering of media coverage. Bearcat (talk) 01:04, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - To be generous, it is too soon. Note that the name of the group is Eva y Ale, and "Superstars" is the title of the one song they have self-released so far. The article was created by a user who has done nothing else beyond this group in Wikipedia, and while new editors are always welcome, this person is clearly unfamiliar with our article structure and (more importantly) our notability requirements. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:50, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: having lived in South America for more than a decade, I know how hard it is to find any quality reliable sources on even the giants of Latin American music, as the kind of in-depth music journalism that we're used to in the US and UK simply doesn't exist in these countries. Even though most of the sources in this article are real and reputable daily newspapers, here we have a classic example of the type of coverage given to musicians in Latin publications: promotional fluff, and flattering softball interviews also masquerading as promotion. That said, all we are talking about here is two Instagram influencers who have released just one single to date, which doesn't appear to have charted anywhere, so this is probably WP:TOOSOON and could be deleted.

Oppose, the deletion. The book has received wide attention from both public and academia. The interviews, OP is talking about are indeed promotional material organized by the publisher, as is the case. The book still is one of the best selling books in Amazon India (#37, as of now).

Quick note: Amazon sales rankings won't count towards notability on Wikipedia. There are a number of reasons for this. The first is that the rankings are very dynamic and prone to change. Another is that since they're dynamic, it's possible for someone to manipulate the rankings - something that can and has happened on Amazon pretty regularly. I'm not saying that this is the case with this book, just that this type of manipulation is so common that this invalidates Amazon rankings as notability giving. Finally, there's often little to no coverage of Amazon sales rankings outside of the author and their publisher and Amazon itself typically doesn't cover everyday sales rankings. It's actually not included unless the ranking is pretty heavily covered in independent, secondary coverage in reliable sources. Even then it's usually not included, to be honest.

Comment. Although WP:NBOOK criteria 4 allows books to be deemed notable if they are the subject of study at schools, it explicitly excludes textbooks. In other words, when a poem like To India - My Native Land is used in school, the subject of study is the poem itself, whereas when a history book is used in school, the subject of study is history. So, appearing on the curriculum does not help the notability case here. We'd need to find reviews. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 03:33, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CommentWP:RS simply mean to understand if the material published on that source is fact checked or not. That's the fundamental of it. For reviews, it is complicated because reviews are not facts but opinions. Center for Indic studies, to me, doesn't look like a website that does reviews a lot or publishes news.

After another preview release, Red Hat introduced commercial support for OpenStack with the "Grizzly" release, in July 2013.[30] Year 2013 aligns in both articles. Yes, there may be confusion between "community-supported" and commercial versions, but the connection looks clear enough, and is not a reason for deletion, IMO.
This source[19] from that OpenStack article excerpt may parrot the press release source, but it is independent recognition and coverage, if brief.
Another source[20] has significant coverage of RDO OpenStack in context of a person and another project, TryStack.
Coverage in apparently independent books (2 at least)[21][22]
Several citations in publications at Google Scholar[23]
