It is probably a false article. Almost all sources are not verifiable (dead links), and the only verifiable reference does not refer to the alleged "massacre".

In addition, in a quick search, the only results that mention the massacre are Wikimedia links. In all Wikipedia, the article was created by the same user, exception of the Spanish, created by an ip Edmond Dantès d'un message? 23:31, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:EXIST and WP:TOOSOON, this model has not yet received reliable and independent media notice, and the article does not attempt to establish any sort of notability. A previous PROD with this same rationale was removed by the article creator, who added some sources. But the sources are only a promotional listing and an article briefly listing the model's presence at one event. It is still too soon in her career for notability. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:29, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Band with no strong claim of notability per WP:NMUSIC, and no strong reliable source coverage to support one. The only notability claim being made here is "singing various kinds of songs", and the only "references" being cited at all are primary source video clips of them doing it. As always, bands are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because it's technically verifiable that they exist -- they have to accomplish something in their career that satisfies our criteria for musical notability, and they have to have reliable source coverage in media (not just YouTube videos) to support it.

Citation measures such as the h-index, g-index, etc., are of limited usefulness in evaluating whether Criterion 1 is satisfied. directly from NPROF. Also, NPROF is a guideline. You still need to be able to write an article, which is not possible when reliable sources have not written about this person. Natureium (talk) 19:57, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Limited usefulness" is not the same as uselessness. The results are comparable between two databases (and differ in an unsurprising way that is consistent with general trends). The subject's field of work is not one of the areas characterized by low citation counts overall (e.g., pure mathematics, law), or where other indicators have proven more meaningful (e.g., areas in the humanities where publication is more geared toward books and monographs than journal articles). The caveats simply don't come into play. And as for the concern that we still need to be able to write an article — the article exists. In all likelihood, it can't be made much larger than it is, but it doesn't have to be. XOR'easter (talk) 22:56, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're arguing against yourself now. Not being a field characterized by low citation counts means that having a "high" h-index is not anything special. And we are not a directory. What is the purpose in having an article that only gives the information that one would find at the top of a CV? Natureium (talk) 22:59, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not being a field characterized by low citation counts means that having a high h-index is not anything special. No, it doesn't. It means that one would need an h-index of 35 or 40 to stand out, as opposed to one of 20. In some fields, citation counts and metrics derived from them are mostly meaningless, because pretty much everyone has low numbers, even notable people, but that doesn't apply here.

This is a book found in 32, count ‘em 32 libraries on worldcat. It is not in itself worth an article, except as part of Sagecandor’s coatracking program. Qwirkle (talk) 21:03, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note that WorldCat lists books currently owned by libraries. what it does not take into account is the fact that popular works of fiction and of nonfiction, including bestsellers, will be owned in multiple copies by a large number of libraries for a few years, then deaccessioned by all but a handful of libraries of record. Even scholarly books regarded as imporant 50 or 100 years ago will be deaccessioned by most libraries when they fall from fashion.

E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:18, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But this isn’t 50 or a hundred years, it’s eight, this isnt a bestseller in the general sense, its something that popped up for one month a a relatively specialized, obscure list. By comparison, Richard Rohr’s work from the same list has 10 times the holdings, and not surprisly, was viewed as notable from its publication. By contrast, this book only became “ notable” when a banned sockpuppet decided to use it for coatracking. Why you feel compelled to defend something eligible for speedy deletion escapes...or perhaps, it doesn't. Qwirkle (talk) 18:44, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Scholarly books are kept longer. Popular nonfiction is accessioned by many libraries when people stop taking it out, within a few years of publication.

Two or three points. First, the fact that a book squeaks by wikipedia standards for notability is seldom proof that it needs its own article. Next, minimal library coverage isn’t an infallible indicator, but it is a rather broad hint. Finally, note that there -is- an unquestionably notable book with the same foretitle, which, of course, isn’t on wiki, and its author, unquestionably more notable than Judge in real life, is stubletized on wiki. This article is a coatrack; it only exists to push politics on Wikipedia. Qwirkle (talk) 22:57, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwirkle: But, if the book has received sufficient secondary coverage, then we should have an article. I'm not saying the article should not be changed/improved if there are neutrality concerns, but we're discussing notability here, yes? I'm less concerned about a different book of the same name, unless of course some of the content in this article is actually about the other book (mistakenly or otherwise). ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:02, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, just because something or someone is notable does not mean he, she, or it [must] have its own article. Qwirkle (talk) 23:14, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That initial coverage was so significant that there were 32 copies of the book listed in Worldcat. Almost all news coverage relates to the Kavanagh hearing. This was not a significant work before it became politicized. Why should it have a separate article? (Aside from using Wikipedia to pander to partisan politics, of course.) Qwirkle (talk) 14:11, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Which is an argument to merge it, or move content unique to it, if any, to a piece on Judge, or Kavenaugh, per WP:NOPAGE. Qwirkle (talk) 14:11, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article appears to be an attempted WP:PROMOTION for a group that has not yet received any significant coverage in reliable sources. All I can find, even in Japanese articles via Google Translate, are routine promotional announcements of the group's existence that are typical for J-Pop. Also note that the article makes no attempt to assert any sort of notability for the group, except for an unconfirmed chart placement. I am familiar with some of the groups listed as "Associated acts" in the infobox but cannot figure out how they are connected to this group, except perhaps through shared management companies, which is another promotional gimmick in that genre. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:05, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not so. The "sources" that were added were not about THINCS, they were about the scientific consensus linking saturated fat and cardiovascular disease, which THINCS members repudiate.

Individual poem, with no particularly strong claim of notability as a standalone entity in Margaret Atwood's overall oeuvre. It was apparently "recently read on an English television station by Lia Williams", without specifying what television station or when, and it was purportedly used in a school syllabus for one year and one year only, but none of this is reliably sourced at all except for the fact that the poem exists — and it doesn't speak very highly of this poem's notability that in 12 years of this article existing, nobody has ever felt the need to add it to the ((Margaret Atwood)) navbox at all (mainly because I think very few people ever actually knew the article existed at all.)

What we would need is third-party coverage about it, not just primary source metaverification of it. A redirect to You Are Happy would certainly be an option, if somebody who's more knowledgeable about Atwood's poetry than I am (I'm not much of a poetry guy, I'm much more familiar with her novels) can actually start one — but obviously it would have to be in place before we could redirect this there.

The result was redirect to Bitcoin Cash. Most of the arguments to keep this have no basis in policy. Notability is not inherited from notable creators; no current guideline establishes notability based on cryptocurrency market share; establishing that this is distinct from Bitcoin Cash is necessary but not sufficient to establishing notability (I'm pretty sure I'm a distinct individual from Jimbo Wales, and yet he is notable, I am not); and notability is based on substantive coverage, not solely on the existence of reliable sources. I am not going to protect the redirect preemptively, but I would be open to doing so if editors ignore the consensus reached here. Vanamonde (talk) 10:31, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re "None of the sources in the article are directly about BitcoinSV" - no, Insertcleverphrasehere, that is not true. The source[1] contains much more than one paragraph about Bitcoin SV. Actually, over the 50% of the article text is related to Bitcoin SV. The second source[2] superficially contains about two sections discussing Bitcoin SV, but other sections discuss what the forks are, which, as the article explains, is what Bitcoin SV is in relation to bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash. The third cited article,[3] also discusses Bitcoin SV in about 50% of its text. The same holds also for the article.[4] Ladislav Mecir (talk) 15:24, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ladislav Mecir, The first one looks like it might be acceptable, though it doesn't mention Bitcoin SV by name, from what I can tell this is what it is referring to. The second source is not significant coverage. Both 3 and 4 are primarily about Bitcoin Cash, with short sections about SV (it doesn't look like 50% to me). — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)(click me!) 18:20, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What area of law did she practice in? It seems the sources have nothing to say about her career, but only about her personal life. It would seem her only claim to fame is happening to be a woman at a time when there were few woman lawyers. There is no record that this presented her with any particular difficulty that she campaigned against for example. From the sources in the article, it seems she simply qualified and then enjoyed a mundane career in a family legal firm. Compare her entry which notes no contribution to her daughter's which notes several.--Pontificalibus 10:48, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Would you suggest then that her daughter, Mary Finn, would qualify for a Wikipedia article? As a judge of the Family Court of Australia, it seems that she would meet WP:JUDGE, #1 "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office". In which case, if Clare Foley is determined not to be notable enough for an article, perhaps her bio could be included in her daughter's? although there isn't yet an article about Mary Finn, so suggesting a merge is not really practicable.

  • Also, I'm of the mind that interviews can show notability for a topic depending on where they are published. It's just that the claims made in the interview are primary. For example, the artist was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times, which is a pretty major publication that doesn't interview just anyone, so the fact that the LAT thought that Valero-O'Connell was major enough to interview should be seen as a sign of notability. That does need to be given some weight. (I'm ambivalent about the VICE source as reliable, as they do gonzo journalism. Because of that, I'd see it as purely primary.)

  • the LA times actually does interview anyone they want... it's a newspaper. The LA Times item is not RS, it's an interview.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:30, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I checked out the sources and I haven't really changed my mind, CBR, Autostraddle, The Mary Sue, IGN, i09, are contributor pieces and not from staff. The top 30 from TCJ comes also from a contributor who says "I will happily review any comics sent to me. I especially like to review minicomics." and who starts his list with "The usual caveats apply here, as I've not read a bunch of key short-form comics from 2016" so is making this list a proof of notability? The Verge list also comes from a contributor who has made this one post since joining. The SciFiNow review was not written by a staff memeber either. I don't see any of these showing that she meets any of the criteria in WP:NAUTHOR. The LA times is a reliable source but this Interview has no critical comment whatsoever about the subject and as per WP:INTERVIEW "anything interviewees say about themselves or their own work is both primary and non-independent. If it's primary and non-independent, our guidelines make clear that it does not contribute to notability.". Just because the LA times has published an interview with this person doesn't automatically make her notable especially as it was a joint interview with a more notable person. For an interview to help towards notability the interviewer has to be a recognised journalist as it says on the interviewer's profile she is a "Web producer working in entertainment for the Los Angeles Times. She helps provide digital content for the Arts and Entertainment sections and has also written for the Travel, Books and Images sections. A Long Beach native, she graduated from UCLA" There is no mention of her being a journalist or having a degree in journalism. Dom from Paris (talk) 11:06, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree that the LA Times is a reliable source. An interview is however not a reliable source, per WP:RS. They also interviewed the leader of the LA Janitor's union, a foster father who takes in terminally ill children, neither of whom are notable by our standards.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:34, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:RS does not even contain the text "interview". Please explain where the RS guideline states that an interview, conducted by a reporter and published in a major, mainstream news outlet, is not reliable. The false equivalencies you provided RE: the janitor and the foster father are irrelevant to this AfD. ♟♙ (talk) 02:31, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's plainly clear, and widely accepted at AfD, that interviews are not reliable sources for determining notability. The very nature of an interview means the reporter is not independent form the subject: they have to get up close and personal with the subject, and the resulting report often contains large swaths of text that are quotations in the voice of the subject. Thus, not independent of the subject. But i think you know this already. "The janitor and the foster father" are good examples to rebut the idea that being written about in the LA times is a selective honour that automatically confers notability. Sorry if you can't see that. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 10:36, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's plainly clear, and widely accepted at AfD, that interviews are not reliable sources for determining notability. - Where at WP:RS does it say interviews conducted by a reporter representing a RS, and publishing IN said RS, are unacceptable as RS? Is a regular news article that contains direct quotes from a subject of the article also not a RS? Or just one that contains several or more direct quotes? Is this noted in the relevant guideline? I am simply not finding it. ♟♙ (talk) 22:40, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. There is clear consensus the article requires editorial/fact-checking attention. There is not clear consensus that a beatified saint is automatically notable, although there is some WP:COMMONSENSE value to the position. There is also no clear consensus the article should be deleted, nor kept. Therefore the no-consensus close. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 15:13, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Something isn't right here. I don't speak Italian, which is hampering this, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of sources. The claim of living to 118 is what tipped me off, that's clearly bogus, and for claims like this article is making it should be easy to find basic sources.

  • Comment There are sources over several centuries. Most of them seem not to give a birth date, eg this [23] from 1989 just gives his date of death (as ca 1343); this [24] (result 2) from 1854 says where he was born, that he died in 1343, and also gives the date his cult was approved; this [25] from 1702 gives the date of 1343, and also mentions the dates 1224, 1254, and 1276 (on pages 154-156). I have not put the text into google translate to try to work out what those dates refer to - what is clear to me is that they all agree on a death date of (ca) 1343, and the 19th and 20th century sources do not give a date of birth, probably because they were more rational than the 1702 writer. I would suggest that the article could be edited to remove the specific dates, and say instead "at the age of 15 ...." etc. I'm not sure how relevant some of the info is (eg the famous heretic he met; the grand union he witnessed ....) - they could surely be deleted. (Just checked that famous heretic - he died in 1276, so quite possible that someone who died in 1343 met or saw him, though probably as a child, and probably not while preaching.) Anyway - there seems no question that Gregorio Celli was beatified by the Catholic Church, and is therefore presumed notable; he died in 1343; some facts of his life are known (where he was born, the order he entered); and travelling to Rome in 1300 is quite possible for someone who died in 1343 - so is retreating to a contemplative existence (if "he had served for decades" is deleted from that sentence, the only thing that is lost is implausibility).

Another highly dubious article, same problems as with Gregorio Celli. Unsubstantiated and unsourced claims of sainthood and extreme longevity, the sources in the article certainly aren't of the caliber to support even what they purport to.

I am using this as a test balloon. I've been hitting a LOT of river pages as I do work on converting pages to ((Infobox river)) and have come across a large number of river pages like this that don't seem to have anything notable about them. I am nominating this particular page as a test balloon of sorts to see what makes a river notable. Seems to me articles like this fall under WP:MILL but am curious what others think.

Before starting the articles of Romanian rivers, I consulted the Wikipedia rules for Rivers. It was stated that any river in the world, regardless of its size, qualifies for an article. There are no other conditions which should be used for screening the rivers. Consequentely, I have written all the articles regarding Romanian rivers. I find it completely unacceptable that after a Wikipedian has spent a significant amount of time to write articles which comply to prevailing Wikipedia rules to have all these articles deleted. Does anybody have any respect for the work of other wikipedians? The problem should be discussed by the active members of WikiProject Rivers. Other wise, the question arises, why do we have WikiProjects who define what has to be done in a certain area when persons who are not concerned about that WikiProject change the rules.Afil (talk) 08:23, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Afil: first, remember to sign your messages (ironic considering your user page). Secondly, this was a request for a discussion about what is notable. Not sure why you so quickly took it as some personal attack. Third, when you edit Wikipedia you do so at your own risk. This idea that you spent so much time on it and worked so hard is not relevant. Not to mention, how can you say you worked so hard? The article is one sentence long... --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 05:47, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is not the length of the article, it is the information which is contained in the box which is important. As detailed maps are difficultly available it takes time and the satelite maps rarely identify the names of the rivers, getting the information is not as straightforward as you seem to think. Why don't you try to get the information about one of river, for instance a river which flows into lake Issyk Kul. Then talk about efforts in getting the information. Afil (talk) 08:23, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Afil: You are completely missing the point. I'm sorry you spent so much time on it but that doesn't indicate anything about notability. So far all you have done is complain about how much work you put into this, this is a discussion about notability. I would encourage you to refresh yourself with WP:GNG. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:41, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep, probably WP:SOFTKEEP . If SmartSE objects to the Keep !voters' arguments, I may reverse this close immediately; however, seeing no opposition, closing for now as keep. Lourdes 03:03, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing coverage in reliable sources that demonstrates this meets WP:NCORP. The references cited are either in specialist trade publications or local sources of dubious reliability.

I can find no evidence that this TheBlaze program is notable. Article has been unsourced since 2013, and has been 'notability' tagged for a year and a half. Some WP:BEFORE work yielded no coverage of this program. This does not look to come close to meeting WP:GNG. --IJBall (contribstalk) 02:26, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
