Unlike its namesake character from DC Comics, this character does not appear to be relevant - there are no sources cited except comic books in order to establish notability of the character outside of its fictional universe, and a Google search only leads to results about its namesake, or wikias.

Black Identity Extremism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

I will copy and paste here what I've written on the article's talk page with some editions. No credibility whatsoever, and certainly not significant or notable to warrant a standalone article. Just because the FBI concocted the term which is a hoax by itself does not necessarily mean it warrants inclusion. There is no such thing as "Black Identity Extremism." The US calling its Black citizens "Black Identity Extremists" who are actually "Black activists" fighting against injustice, their brutal killings by the the police, violence against them, racism and the like does not make them "Black Identity Extremists." If they are Black Identity Extremists where are the White Identity Extremists who are doing the killings, the brutalisation and racism with the institutions in place to enforce the subjugation and disenfranchisement of its Black citizens? If the Blacks fighting for their right to life, and to live dignified lives are deemed "Black Identity Extremists", what do you call organisations like the KKK who have been killing/lynching Black Americans in the most brutal fashion for decades and still continue their fascist ideology against Black Americans? This foolishness must stop. Is Wikipedia a tool for propaganda or a true encyclopedia? Wikipedia is not here for propaganda as far as I'm aware. Maybe in the future when there are real "Black Identity Extremists/Extremism" and covered in detail by reliable third party sources, perhaps then we can create an article called "Black Identity Extremism." For now, it is mainly a political agenda driven by those who are trying to turn the issue around rather than addressing the injustice, racism and brutal killings of a particular ethic group within the United States who historically have been the most disenfranchised in the US and still continue to be disenfranchised and discriminated against. Black Americans are an ethnic minority, and this targeting is foolish and not befitting an encyclopedia. Also, there are Black people all around the world. Are they also "Black Identity Extremist" too? This foolishness and systematic bias must stop! This article is utter nonsense and should be deleted. Further, without biting, and in good faith if I may add, I think it is quite unusual that the initiator of this article only registered quite recently yet the first and only article they've initiated/created is this controversial article which only started towards the end of last year thanks to the FBI. Generally, new editors start by editing articles and even if they go on to create new articles, they mainly create non controversial articles e.g. sports, bios, culture, religion, political figures etc. Their first article generally are not controversial topics especially new controversial subjects. Phew! One has to be pretty brave. I can't also help but notice that they have not contributed to Wiki anymore once this article went up. Senegambianamestudy (talk) 23:11, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The phrase is not sufficiently notable for its own article, and the fact that the Trump-Sessions Justice Department summoned this spectre into existence doesn't mean it exists. — MShabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 00:10, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The case for deletion needs to be based on Wikipedia policies which the article contravenes, and I am not seeing that here. Reliable sources exist. The article is on a notable subject, based on the amount of media coverage that exists. Is it a hoax? Well, a copy of the FBI report is available online - I am not qualified to say whether it was generated by the FBI or not. To me, it sounds like a case of "I don't like it" or WP:HARMFUL, neither of which are valid arguments. Wikipedia isn't into censorship. Whether or not the person who created the draft (which I reviewed and accepted into mainspace) is an SPA is neither here nor there; we should assume good faith and treat the article on its merits. If the real issue is one of neutrality then we should edit the article to make it more neutral, not delete it. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 04:26, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Curb Safe Charmer, are you arguing that the neologism "black identity extremists" is notable or that the philosophy of "black identity extremism" is notable? I don't think either is. Can you explain why it is? Can you explain which one this article is about? — MShabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 07:36, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@MShabazz: neither of those things, per se. What is notable is that the FBI's counterterrorism division wrote a report about it, the cultural significance of their assertion that it is a thing, and that there has been a significant backlash as a result. However I do believe the article also passes the WP:NEO test: there are plenty articles about the term, rather than just using the term. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 08:13, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Curb Safe Charmer: If neither, then what is the point of this article? Just because the FBI says so under a blatantly racist president who regarded white supremacists as "fine people" as per his Charlottesville rhetoric does not make it notable or warrant a wiki article. Even the sources cited debunked the tern and can see it for the foolishness it is, "[...] and some expressed concern that the term is part of a politically motivated effort to find an equivalent threat to white supremacists."[1] The sources cited are merely regurgitating the term the FBI cooked up in the kitchen (in quotation marks) before demolishing it. The sources cited regard this nonsense as a civil rights (Black American civil rights) issue as I have stated above, not Black Identity Extremists. No one, including the FBI has been able to tell us what, who, how and where we can find these Black Identity Extremists, because it is cooked up during a time of racial tension in United States thanks to the US president fanning the flames. No one, not even the sources cited have been able to provide us who these Black Identity Extremists are. It does not exist. It is a hoax fabricated by the FBI - hoping the term gain widespread usage as this source (Foreign Policy, who leaked the report back in October 2017) clearly states: "The concept of “black identity extremists” appears to be entirely new. FP found only five references to the term in a Google search; all were to law enforcement documents about domestic terrorism from the last two months. One of those online references is to law enforcement training on identifying “domestic terror groups and criminally subversive subcultures which are encountered by law enforcement professionals on a daily basis.”". Wikipedia is not a dictionary neither is it a tool to advance propaganda. I don't know of any Black Identity Extremists or organisations, perhaps someone can point me in the right direction and I'm not talking about Black civil right activists or organisation who are fighting against racial discrimination, disenfranchisement and the brutal killings of Black Americans by US law enforcement, I mean the real “black identity extremists” or movements. It does not exist. It is hoax fabricated by the FBI hoping the term will gain popular usage. Now, if you ask me who the White Identity Extremists are I can give you several examples starting with the KKK. They have set up organisations and advanced the ideology that Whites are superior to Black Americans (or any Black person for that matter). They have killed/lynched, maimed, kidnapped and wrecked Black American families for decades, yet I do not see the FBI or US president labeling them as White Identity Extremists or domestic terrorists (Which they are). To the contrary, the US president regard them as fine people. In the future when there are real “black identity extremists”, then we can create such an article. Wikipedia is going nowhere.Senegambianamestudy (talk) 11:15, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Senegambianamestudy: *Keep As stated above, you appear to only be making this argument because "I don't like it". The value of this article does not have to require that the terms within are universally agreed upon, so long as it can be agreed that the mentioning of these terms in the way that they have been mentioned is sufficiently notable in and of itself, of which it appears to be. This article deserves to exist because the concept of this sort of extremes that gained enough traction that the FBI thought it was worthwhile to create the content they have decided to create. As with any ideological argument, there is a degree of ambiguity as to where boundaries are, and as such, this article does not qualify in any way as propaganda. It is important to discuss this calmly and rationally, and from my perspective it appears to be that this article does not need to be deleted. SuperChris (talk) 14:11, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge. This article is a stub and fails WP:SUSTAINED. I suggest merging the news of the way a nonexistent category was briefly brought to life through an FBI report by including a few lines in the article on the FBI. Shameran81 (talk) 05:26, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep subject has received very substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Renaming to FBI report on Black Identity Extremism rather than the neologism itself is worth considering. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:01, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment @Ganeshprasadkp: - hi, sources have to be reliable, 3rd party (not original research (OR) or self-published) and independent. The content has to also not merely be a passing mention - significant coverage is required. I'm about to run though the current sources to see what they're like. Nosebagbear (talk) 14:55, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1. "CyberSafar - January 2018". magzter.com. - shopping details aren't neutral, and it doesn't give much detail in any case.
2. "CyberSafar Edumedia". tradeindia.com. - The detail here is so scarce, it's hard to determine whether it can be relied on for the location data.
3. "CyberSafar". play.google.com. - as with a shop source, the details here wouldn't be reliable, nor is it a significant source.
4. "Cybersafar Magazine No 2 April 2012". scribd.com. - my translate was playing up with this one - if it's just a copy of the actual magazine, then its worthwhile to have a link to, but can't be relied on as it's OR. If that isn't the case, apologies - I can't read it to check, anyone who can please say.
5. "ઈ-મેઇલની જરા અંદરની વાત". divyabhaskar.co.in. - I couldn't tell whether this was OR or not - it's a different website, but indicates "Article of Cyber Safar by Himanshu Kikani in Kalash Magazine", suggesting that it is a duplicated piece of work. Can you confirm?
6. "CyberSafar 4+ Magzter Inc". itunes.apple.com. - Another store/shop etc source and therefore not reliable
7. "Website and Reviews of CyberSafar Edumedia". grotal.com. - Recruiting company - Not reliable and not a significant source
8. "IT MAGAZINES/BOOKS". pcpersonalised.com. - very passing mention, just noting it was a possible provider of articles
9. "Cybersafar Edumedia". startuparena.in. - Some OR provided minimal details in a start-up platform.
10. "Web Analysis for Cybersafar". cutestat.com. The web bit is OR, but that isn't mentioned in the article so that isn't an issue. However other than noting that Cybersafar exists, it doesn't provide any significant coverage
11. "Cybersafar Handy Guide Set". clickabooks.com. - Another store link, without any appreciable information in any case
12. "Registrar of Newspapers for India". rni.nic.in. - broken link. Seeming government list of newspapers publisher/printing addresses. While it could act as a source for that detail(s), not significant independent source for general notability.
13. "Cybar Safar". newspapers.in. - Again just a confirmation it exists, it doesn't provide any appreciable coverage to indicate that Cyber Safar has sufficient notability for its own article
14. "CyberSafar Cyber Crime Topics-2016 (Gujarati) Paperback – 2016". amazon.in. - another store link, just demonstrating that they have made a book (worth mentioning though, if you can find a source)
15. "Cyber Safar". careerage.com/. - Not CS related.

I can't claim a lot of personal knowledge of Norwegian politics, but a Google News search confirms that the nominator is correct: this is not an "independence" referendum, but merely a referendum on whether to maintain Finnmark's existing county status or merge it with another neighbouring county. Either way, nobody's leaving Norway or changing their sovereignty status, because sovereignty is a concept that attaches to nationhood, not countyhood — but much of this article falsely claims that Finnmark will become independent of Norway if the referendum passes, which is absolutely not what's happening. No prejudice against creation of a new, neutral and accurate article about the vote, if desired, but this is an ideologically loaded and wrongheaded mess that badly misrepresents its subject — so even if an article is warranted, the blow it up and start over principle would pertain.

• Comment. Wakhi Tajik Cultural Association is mentioned in many books and news articles. I did not find anything which is promotional, people who researched Wakhi people, almost always mentioned this and what this organization is doing to preserve local culture. Among other reference, I found [4]. This book has more details. This article should be divided into background, as in most cases, reason for creating this was to promote Wakhi culture as it is overshadow by modern culture. Coverage in all the books is related to their culture, langugae and threats to their way of life and how this association is helping. So in context of Wakhi people and area where they live, this association is significantly mentioned, in reliable sources and multiple times. What is your opinion on this. --Spasage (talk) 14:53, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The content over there is unsourced and risk getting deleted. Redirection does not make sense unless someone fix it.

Single-sourced biography of a city councillor, in a city not large enough to hand its city councillors an automatic WP:NPOL pass just for existing. As always, city councillors only get an immediate presumption of notability in internationally prominent global cities on the order of New York City, Chicago, Toronto or London -- in cities on the order of Hamilton, Ontario, city councillors are accepted as notable only if they can be well-sourced to a depth and range of coverage that marks them out as significantly more notable than the norm for city councillors. But this demonstrates nothing of the sort; it just cites his brief entry in a local biographical dictionary, which is not enough all by itself. And having had a city park or neighbourhood named after him is not an exemption from having to have more reliable source coverage than this, either -- most municipal infrastructure in most cities is named after former aldermen and mayors and merchants and other local figures, so it doesn't inherently make Inch special. There's simply not enough substantive sourcing here to deem him notable for any of this. Bearcat (talk) 20:07, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Blakey (music producer) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

Reason Wikitigresito (talk) 22:45, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, I believe Michael Blakey is not relevant to wikipedia. There was a very long article written on his life, mostly un- or badly sourced and very likely intended to push his prestige and public image a little bit. After deleting everything that is obviously not relevant, the only possibly noteworthy things he has done were music production activities for a couple of famous musicians (especially Engelbert Humperdinck). However, it seems to be that he mostly co-produced the less well-known, 2nd tier pieces of these artists.

Edit: The article has previously been deleted based on broad consensus (WP:Articles_for_deletion/Michael_Blakey) for failing notability and has been reinstated under a slightly different name.

• Keep have restored the full version of the article for the purposes of the AFD to enable proper evaluation which shows in the deleted content now restored that he produced a Grammy nominated album so he passes criteria 8 of WP:NMUSIC Atlantic306 (talk) 17:17, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Thank you for your input. I also saw this album, it is not a music album, but a compilation of comedy storytelling. Therefore, notability criteria for musicians should not apply. Also, the criterion does not explicitly imply producers as relevant people. I would question whether it applys to co-producers then. Wikitigresito (talk) 17:52, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep This article should not be deleted because: 1. It doesn't fall under any of the Wikipedia reasons for deletion in Wikipedia:Deletion policy, 2. It meets the relevant Wikipedia:Notability (music) requirements, e.i. falls under criteria 8 and 10 in Criteria for musicians and ensembles, as well as criterion 1 in Criteria for composers and lyricists in WP:NMUSIC. Namely, AllMusic lists him as a musician (drummer)^[1] on such famous records as Will to Power by Tidal Force and I'll Be There by Gloria Gaynor. He is also given credit as a composer on numerous famous records by the same music directory^[2] 3. Although the article might need further improvement, I believe it is written in a non-promotional manner, majority of the statements are well referenced. 4. The length of the article as well as the facts contained therein only confirm that Michael Blakey has had a long-term career as a musician, producer and composer that dates back to 1970s and that he is still relevant today.Maralon1956 (talk) 18:06, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can understand that you disagree with the deletion of this article, as you have been a major contributor over years. 1. and 2. However, he does not meet criteria 8, because as he only co-produced the relevant album, he does not belong to the group of "bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists" (Wikipedia:Notability (music)). He also does not meet criteria 1, because there is no non-trivial coverage in reliable sources. Being mentioned on allmusic.com does not contitute coverage. From your arguments, I don't see how he could meet criteria 10. Furthermore, the "famous" song "Will to Power" and its band "Tidal Force" are not notable. "I'll Be There" (please notice that the version you mentioned is not even listed on the wikipage) is also not notable. 3. Additionally, the article is written in a promotional manner, for example, by trying to associate the subject in the introduction with the famous artist Tupac Shakur. Google searches for "Michael Blakey 2pac" and similiar terms produce no relevant results. The previously deleted article was found to be probably self-written, it seems likely that the same applys to this piece. Wikitigresito (talk) 20:47, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • It doesn't matter who has been the major contributor to this article, what matters is whether this nomination for deletion is valid. From what you've posted above I can only see that the nomination was purely made based on personal dislike. I cited AllMusic because it is a reliable global source for music credits, but there are plenty of other databases that list Michael's credits as a musician and music producer. You can check out Discogs, for example, if you're in doubt that his credits are valid^[3]. Also, he does fall under the music category as he is a musician/instrumentalist and music producer. Maralon1956 (talk) 22:56, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I was asked to come here because I took the predecessor article to WP:AFD some time ago. I have inspected the article briefly. It reeks of WP:BOMBARD with a welter of pseudo-references which are not useful references. There may be useful references that meet our criteria, but they need to be validated. Detailed analysis will show that many of those in (e.g.) individual albums should become footnotes and are not references. I think it unlikely that the gentleman has acquired notability in the period since deletion, but have only come here only to comment, not to opt for retention nor deletion. The answer to the discussion is, as always, in the references. Fiddle Faddle 22:00, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The fact that he "only co-produced" does not diminish his contribution to the work. Most if not all songs and albums nowadays are created by groups of people, not single composers, producers, arrangers, etc. All successful records only became successful thanks to the people who worked on them, no matter if it’s one person or a creative collective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 260xx 0:387:8:9:0:0:0:91 (talk) 23:08, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's not about being producer or co-producer. His only claim to notability is his affiliation as a producer with a comedy album that has been nominated for a grammy. However, the relevant criterion 8 of WP:MUSICBIO does not apply to producers (no matter whether co- or not), but only to musicians involved. Wikitigresito (talk) 00:42, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• VERY STRONG DELETE: I saw so many references that I thought the accusations of "personal dislike" to be possible. What I find is a very promotional, and likely COI created or edited BLP (certainly not contested) article that could be a poster for "what Wikipedia is not". I started looking at references, marking dead links and removing IMDb and Discogs", that a broad community consensus has determined is unreliable, and I got exhausted. Primary sources like ElectraStarMgmt.com (I counted 6), dead links, or inappropriate links not involving the subject or those considered connected to the subject, don't count towards the notability of a person, and further: Multiple references from the same source count as one if attempting to use for notability. It was stated above this article is "written in a non-promotional manner" and I assume this editor missed the New York Times (considered reliable) source titled THE POP LIFE; On the Rise And on Line. While a good article with lots of names mentioned it has a lot to do with $50 dollar a seat tickets, or even better, "two days of lectures" for 800 people at $1,300-1,400 bucks, and the subject is not listed at all (that I could find) and that is a problem with a majority of the references. The Allmusic references (I counted 47) are mostly "all about others" with other references "all about Ron White" (NOTE: I am a Ron White fan). Over 60 of the now showing 80 references do nothing for notability of the subject. I can dig farther on the remaing 20 that would have to be a big change in direction to help notability. Besides, there is so much junk the AFD would likely be over before I could finish. (See conclusion) Otr500 (talk)
• Conclusion: Fails WP:BASIC, doesn't currently qualify for consideration under WP:NMUSIC (maybe a stretch of WP:CREATIVE), and fails WP:GNG. The subjuct, while likely notable to his family, fans, some editors, and the circle he and Ron White run in, does not rise to the level of acceptable notability for a BLP on Wikipedia (according to sources) as a "producer" or "co-producer". I think editors and admins are starting to catch on to the trick of recreating articles by simple word changes. I feel this is a way around provided alternatives for attempting inclusion that even sometimes circumvent salting. The sources provided boil down to a lot of refbombing to advance notability. The bombarding of improper sources and questions of COI editing give rise to serious concerns. I am impressed with the ability of new editors (44 and 57 edits) to jump into policies and guidelines like pros, but I also wonder why an established editor would boldly "restore" a previous version, that might be considered improper, just to present it to this AFD? I might have reverted but I don't think this version helps in the discussion and I had already made a lot of source edits that I might kill off before realizing this. Otr500 (talk) 15:53, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*VERY STRONG KEEP: Instead of simply deleting stuff from Wiki it's better to improve articles like this. I removed dead links (some of them were erroneously marked dead as the links contained audio interviews) and added a few Hollywood Reporter links to the article where the subject is mentioned as a celebrity manager for Jimmy Connors and Ron White. The same source also clarifies that Michael Blakey was an executive producer for Ron White's comedy album "Ron White's Salute To The Troops" (2011). Moreover I was able to find all the Electra Star links that were previously removed for being dead. Freethinker987 (talk) 16:17, 9 April 2018 (UTC).[reply]

• Delete I have had the chance to assess this now. I'm surprised it wasn't speedily deleted as recreation of tosh deleted at AFD, but we're past that now. This is WP:ADMASQ backed by WP:BOMBARD. It is not salvageable because the subject fails WP:BIO and all other notability guidelines. Like the first incarnation it is a vanity piece. I'm sure he's a very fine chap, but he misses our criteria.

I love the use of big bold capital letters. They do not influence the closing admin one way or another. Since it is not a ballot this will be decided upon the arguments and on the article itself. Since this keeps arising from the ashes, may I suggest salting to seek to prevent yet another discussion over inherently similar re-creations? 16:26, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

• Keep Internet is a constantly changing space, no wonder a lot of references many times become outdated or expire. It is not a reason to delete the whole article. Let’s revisit some of the bad links. I’ve found a lot of evidence that the subject was a music producer on many charting records. He produced Margo Rey’s “Let The Rain” that was co-written with John Oates, Patsy Cline Duets album featuring legendary talent. Also as a producer he worked with Michelle Wright on the Greatest Hits Collection that became a gold record. I added those to the article, hopefully this will help keep it.69.75.187.164 (talk) 23:24, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Michael is a music producer known for his work with plenty of artists, I don’t understand why this is even being questioned. He is also known for breaking new artists, e.g. Brooke Allison, Ashley J, Christine Saade, Ashley Greene just to name a few. Christine Saade's record "Get Together" and Ashley J's "Dare Ya" charted on Billboard, not to mention very well-known acts like Ron White. Michael was an executive producer on his last comedy specials "Ron White's Salute To The Troops" years 2012, 2014, "A Little Unprofessional" that was nominated for Grammy's in 2013. It is all mentioned and referenced in the nominated article, as well as you can find plenty of sources online supporting this. Please do proper research before putting something up for deletion. 76.79.178.211 (talk) 00:18, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Could any of the editors who have turned up here provide any example of independent reliable sources providing any significant coverage of Michael Blakey, rather than just a mention in the minor credits? If I was Blakey I would be very embarrassed by the actions of the people supporting the keeping of this article. It just makes him look like a narcissistic self-promoter. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:04, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I support keeping this article. Michael Blakey was a producer of Ron White's "A Little Unprofessional" CD and DVD. The album charted on Billboard with peak position *1, ^[4] was certified Platinum by RIAA^[5] and was nominated for a Grammy ^[6]. There are no sources more reliable than this. It's very hard work and it's so sad when it's criticized or doubted like this for no reason by the people who hide behind their nicknames. Definitely keep.

• Michael, I avoided mentioning above that this is almost certainly you in a vain attempt to avoid your blushes, but don't you realise how ridiculous you are making yourself look here? Just give up your attempt to include yourself on Wikipedia to avoid making yourself a laughing stock, if it's not already too late. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:45, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• To further elaborate my point of view: the article falls under WP:PEOPLE, and meets WP:basic, plus meets additional criteria for creative professionals WP:FILMMAKER. If the author failed to conform with Wiki's neutral point of view policy, WP:GD clearly states that the article is "usually remedied through editing for neutrality, but text that does not conform to any of the remaining three policies is usually removed from Wikipedia, either by removing a passage or section of an otherwise satisfactory article or by removing an entire article if nothing can be salvaged." In this case, WP:OR does not apply and most of the sources are verifiable. I see no grounds for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.196.200.150 (talk) 23:10, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I can't find a single reliable third party source that would pass muster for WP:BIO or WP:NMUSIC. A lot of the things he has worked on are notable, there is no *significant* coverage of him independent of listing him as a contributor to other plausibly notable works, and notability is not inherited. Having said that, a LA Times Article about the sale of his house notes that Modern Drummer Magazine once sang his praises, but this seems to be regurgitated from trivia on his IMDB page. If that source really exists, I think that might change my mind, but I suspect the IMDB contributor is confusing him with Art Blakey. --Sykes83 (talk) 23:55, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. As far as I can see, after wading through the 86 references in the article and searching outside that, there is no source that has significant coverage of Blakey to contribute towards the general notability guideline and nothing that says that he has played such a major role in any notable piece of music as to pass WP:NMUSIC. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:04, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Per my yalk page: "Thanks for the ping because I note that maintenance edits I made were "edited out". Two editors, one a SPA and one with two areas in five years (hitting this one hard now), seems to be steering the article. "If it stays it will need protections and over-site.".

We also have SPA's and "sleeper editors" (whatever those are referred to as) that has made nine edits since 2014 with five related to this subject.

Not that sleeper editors would mind because they likely have more dormant accounts that can be used. This AFD has been inundated with these kinds of new editors and at best can hope for confusion and a "no consensus" decision but closing admins can see through this.

• Question It seems that various contributors to the article and this discussion are blocked editors, at least some for confirmed or suspected sock puppetry. We have what might be judged by some to be a claque trying to preserve this at all costs, too. I think it is the right time to move from discussion to closure. I see two outcomes. Either it is determined that the gentleman is notable and the article, much pruned of any non cited/citable puffery, is retained, or it is deleted as failing the criteria for inclusion here. I understand why experienced editors have relisted it rather than closed the discussion. Even so I think it is time to bite the bullet of closure. Fiddle Faddle 19:31, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Reply: It has one more day on the new listing. This is actually a good thing to make sure there was enough exposure. It is contentious and will require an in-depth look before closing and admins are volunteers like the rest of us. I normally would just not worry about it but there is too much stacked evidence that there is under-handed dealings going on and this needs looking at. Riding the coattails of Ron White is not a justifiable rationale for keep. The rebombing of sources and attempts to hide good faith maintenance edits are bad enough. I just randomly picked current reference #57 that is listed as "Engelbert Humperdinck - The Dance Album" that redirects to a totally, totally, totally junk (in other words plain old refbombing junk) reference (check it out and others like it) that has abosolutely zero to do with the subject or even Ron White. The article is full of these All music refs that are just for show to make the article appear to be well sourced. All references to the same source does not add to notability as they all count as one for this purpose. That is an issue I have; faking references to portray notability.

• Delete: strongly promotional article on a producer of questionable notability. Notability is not inherited from notable performers / recordings. Best deleted, due to COI / SPA concerns.

Article subject appears in only supporting, minor roles. Fails WP:NACTOR (since he does not have "significant roles in multiple notable films", neither does he have a "significant cult following", nor did he make a "unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment", and does not meet any of the WP:ANYBIO criteria, since the "Star Awards" are an internal award to actors all working for the same media group, and addition they are not a "well-known and significant award or honor" (since they are not significant, nor are they well-known outside of Singaporean-media variety/entertainment reporting, unlike say the Academy Awards, which are well covered in independent, international media). And he hasn't won any anyway (2 nominations is not really that many...). 198.84.253.202 (talk) 15:44, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I completed the nomination for the IP. ansh666 18:36, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Easily passes WP:NACTOR "Has had significant roles in multiple notable television shows." Significant? Lead role! in Priceless Wonder and if that isn't enough he also starred in Where the Heart Is (2008 TV series), My Kampong Days, Injustice (Malaysian TV series), Dark Sunset, Be Happy (TV series), The Quarters (2012 TV series), Eat Already? 4 and The Thin Line (Malaysian TV series). Multiple? appeared in over 40 different shows. Notable- most of these shows have ENGLISH wiki articles.... a few quotes about these shows: "The Vagrant was the second highest rated drama serial in 2002;" An Ode to Life-"The drama achieved the highest viewership rate in Year 2004." As if that isn't enough, he has Variety Show appearances and multiple nominations (not all listed in this article) Sethie (talk) 19:47, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are forgetting about the "significant roles" part. Appearing in a few episodes as a supporting character is not a significant role, no matter how notable the series is. WP:NACTOR states that at least one of the criteria must be passed, which is why all three must be proven to be false for the article not the pass that criterion. As I have commented above, the awards are not significant, he hasn't won them anyway, and he doesn't pass any of the NACTOR criteria, so there's no reason to keep the article? 198.84.253.202 (talk) 21:07, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Love interest" seems pretty much to fit the description of secondary, non-significant character. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 21:42, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Nominated for best actor" doesn't mean anything, unless it's as part of a significant award (ex. the Academy Awards. "Won" wouldn't have more impact unless it was some similarly important award, and the Star Awards fall short of this because they are not independently awarded but awarded by the parent company, so it does not make the awards significant, or even well-known outside of Singapore. "Lead role" in a variety show which ran for less than 1 month isn't significant. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 03:23, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as the article is deceptive in listing all his roles as supporting when in fact he has had main roles in a number of nationally broadcast TV series of at least twenty episodes each as shown in each article. His roles include a series second billing, another series second billing,a series third billing, two series with fourth billings, and another two series with fifth billings. So he passes criteria 1 of WP:NACTOR with multiple prominent roles in nationally broadcast television series. Atlantic306 (talk) 15:23, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

'Nationally broadcast' is not a criteria for notability. As for the series where he supposedly had main roles, there seems to be little coverage, for example, Priceless Wonder currently only cites one reliable source - and it's a broken link (the other wasn't reliable), and it's probably a passing mention. A google search does not reveal any coverage of the series either. There would need to be coverage (even in Chinese) which would meet the criteria of WP:SIGCOV (i.e., that it is not routine coverage, that it is not trivial mentions and that it is independent and reliable). 198.84.253.202 (talk) 02:59, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TVSERIES opines that nationally broadcast tv series are normally notable so if not online there should be offline sources. WP:GNG does not mention routine coverage as that qualification is too subjective Atlantic306 (talk) 15:33, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Found the link you mentioned in the Priceless Wonder article and it seems significant coverage as the article is directly about him here. Please note that Zzen Zhang is his other name and redircts to Zen Chong, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 16:42, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to the student union. Just to be clear, student radio stations are not automatically deemed less notable than "general interest" radio stations, but rather are judged on the same inclusion criteria as any other radio station — so the problem here isn't the presence of the word "student", but the lack of reliable sourcing present to actually support that the notability criteria have been met. The only references here are its own website about itself and the website of the (directly affiliated) national Student Radio Association, not media coverage, so they're primary sources that cannot establish notability. For the purposes of getting a topic into Wikipedia, notability is not established by what an article says, but by how well it references what it says.

Film director or producers are not given an automatic free pass over WP:BIO just because they exist — their ability to qualify for Wikipedia articles is determined by criteria at WP:AUTHOR. As per this article, the subject directed two films (both non-notable at least by WP standards) which means basically fails WP:AUTHOR..

The article further claim, the subject has worked as assistant director in a TV show and a film, but assistant directors are not something that would be expected to have an article on English Wikipedia, unless they meet GNG. Search doesn't produce any substantial information about the person either which means fail basic GNG as well. Saqib (talk) 17:41, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Where is that written into policy? I've definitely seen many articles kept because of their All-American status. Spanneraol, you voted to keep an article on a player with similar profile in a discussion in which we both participated.--TM 23:28, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Who do you think selects the All-American teams? The national media. That obviously indicates attention from the national media. That seems to be very clearly the intent of the policy as well.--TM 14:17, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

here is the relevant discussion on the subject. The other article you mention was kept based on sources not on his all-american status.

  @Gbohoadgwwian: Passing by mentions don't grant permission for a standalone article. For instance, take this celeb Banita Sandhu. Three times an article was created on her and she also has sufficient amount of news articles on web about her but it was deleted everytime simply because not major amount of info is published about her in reliable sources. Also, why don't you improve it? Harsh Rathod Poke me! 08:02, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Criterion for ANYBIO and NFILMS vary by a mile and at any case, you ought to know that other stuff exists.~ Winged Blades^Godric 03:47, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep--Passes NFILMS. All films which have garnered garnered two or more reviews in national dailies or reliable media-sources are consistently kept at AfDs.The sources are already there in the article and additional ones have been provided by Gboho.

A list of sources are:--

• A full-length-review at one of India's most prominent media-unit.
• Likely paid-interview stuff but the film exists none-the-less.I won't give this piece much prudence, though.
• Another significant mention at a RS.
• More significant coverage about the film shooting, theme and all.
• More coverage about the film and director.
• Additional full-length review is also located at Anandabazar Patrika, one of the most prominent Bengali dailies. but linking an archive, running entirely on java-script, is tremendously difficult.

• Comment: I see one editor here talking about mentions of the film in patrikas. But I don't understand why he isn't adding them to the article as references? How can I research and verify like this? I don't want to believe blindly.

  Trust, but verify!

• Keep as the reliable sources including rs reviews identified above passes criteria 1 of WP:NFILM, only one criteria is needed. The nominator is also allowed to add the references to the article. Atlantic306 (talk) 20:58, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Well this is a humdinger of an article in The Guardian: Hollywood conservative unmasked as notorious Holocaust revisionist ] (read to the end, it only gets worse,) but it doesn't make him notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:27, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There are plenty sources to be found on this person: see Talk:David Cole for some of them. I wouldn't say all of them meet WP:RS, but I do not believe notability would be a problem here. Best regards,Jeff5102 (talk) 10:02, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• In sum and according to The Guardian, he is a self-promoting "Holocaust revisionist". A very minor one.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:33, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "Very minor" yet "notorious," according to The Guardian. That is rather confusing, I must say. Regards,Jeff5102 (talk) 12:50, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete his views clearly fall under the guidelines of fringe, which requires care to make sure the subject is well covered in reliable sources, which is not at all the case here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:43, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, While he represents the fringe, he is certainly controversial enough, with substantial coverage, to warrant inclusion in Wikipedia. I do agree with John Pack Lambert above, that the coverage needs to be improved with reliable sources, but there seems to be a lot of coverage out there on this guy, and his inclusion in Wikipedia seems to be justified just based on his coverage. Ann Coulter (who is known more for her viciousness) is on the fringe too but she gets enormous coverage on Wikipedia. Stevenmitchell (talk) 04:53, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. on the basis of the sources--this is a truly niche catehory of authorship, and I'm willing to stretch our guidelines a little to include it. DGG ( talk ) 22:02, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I'm sympathetic to DGG's vote, but after a thorough WP:BEFORE search, I have no idea how to flesh out this article based on the available sources. I've seen several different websites repeat the same one-liner about how his plays are the most produced in high schools across America. This could be true, but I can't verify it, and honestly I'm surprised how little is out there for someone with such a successful claim. There are a couple audio clips as well, but they are also promotional for his company. My delete vote is strong, but without prejudice. SportingFlyer talk 18:17, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Although the current article does appear to fail the NBIO standard, given the few citations listed, there are sufficient reliable independent sources supporting the notability of this individual. I would like to do some work on this article to bring it up to Wikipedia's standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RhondaLH (talk • contribs) 20:35, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
