  1. Stubify again (i.e. remove all the wretched tables and all the unreferenced and badly referenced claims) and then protect the article.
  2. Delete the whole thing and let that be a lesson to them. :-p
My gut says delete but I'd be happy with either, so long as it puts a stop to the timewasting. I'd also like to see a wider sweep for fancruft in articles about other semi-notable Pro-Wrestling promotions. (But then I don't really have any right to demand other people do that that given that I took one look at it, considered doing so, and then promptly lost the will to live.) --DanielRigal (talk) 22:42, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • If deleted, this needs to be Salted. This article has been deleted previously via AfD under its former name, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/What Culture Pro Wrestling. The subject may become notable at some point, which is why it got stubbed in the first place, but our good faith has been abused too much in this case. It should go through the draft process before it gets accepted to the mainspace.LM2000 (talk) 10:41, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. I'm not strongly pushing for a delete myself (although I'm also not against it) but whatever outcome we do reach needs to be enforced this time.

Glad to be of help (but you can't vote in this debate twice). The article is improving, but still quite dependent on Facebook and YouTube as verification that certain events happened.

That said, I am not sure when this AfD will close, but I think if they are selected to represent Armenia at Eurovision on Feb. 25th, this would be enough for notability. If the AfD closes before this, I think the best thing would be to userify or move to draftspace and the article can be recreated when notability can be established with independent, secondary sources.

This article has come to some prominence at Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#DYK_and_COI/paid_editors. As a US associate professor, this likely fails WP:NACADEMIC. I am also struggling to find independent in-depth coverage in reliable sources about her (after all, it was her student(s) who found the planet) - lack of WP:SIGCOV.

Question I rarely nominate academics for deletion, so am unclear from reading WP:NPROF whether those numbers are adequate to meet criterion #1; noting from h-index, that "physics has the second most citations after space science". Edwardx (talk) 12:19, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment You state that it just passes WP:GNG because of that article, yet GNG states, "multiple sources are generally expected". And as it is a local newspaper, it seems reasonable to expect more than just that one article. As for any bias, it is not my bias, so cannot underpin this nomination. With nearly 4,000 article creations, none of "mine" are footballer players or porn stars, and I started over 100 articles for notable women in November alone. Edwardx (talk) 12:28, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Reply @Edwardx: It's odd to call The Salt Lake Tribune a local newspaper, when List of newspapers in Utah shows it to be the biggest-circulation newspaper in Utah. "Regional and local" papers are listed below, and The Salt Lake Tribune isn't one of them.
And I note you don't actually dispute disagree that if she was a footballer, then she'd be an automatic keep. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:51, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Reply @BrownHairedGirl: I accept that the SLT is technically a regional paper, albeit one with a small and shrinking circulation. It's still not "multiple sources". And other stuff exists is never a persuasive AfD argument. Not sure if she was ever a football player, but I have started "the most remarkable referee in England". Edwardx (talk) 18:16, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Edwardx: I agree with BrownHairedGirl: the Salt Lake Tribune isn't just a "local" paper and even if it was, it wouldn't cease to be a reliable source that helps establish notability. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:23, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Reply @Megalibrarygirl: The circulation number may be similar, but those Irish and Danish papers are read by the country's leaders; not the case for the SLT, barring Mitt Romney and the heads of the LDS. Edwardx (talk) 13:19, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note - @Edwardx: The leaders of the United States likely do read the Salt Lake Tribune. For example the six senators listed here are certainly within it's target demographic, my understanding is that members of the LDS are well represented in American politics, and that this is their main publication. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 13:59, 1 February 2018 (UTC)WP:SOCKSTRIKE[reply]
@Edwardx: my point has nothing to do with the size of the SLT's readership. It simply doesn't matter. A local source is still a reliable source. It still helps show notability. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:04, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) Reply @Edwardx: shrinking circulation is an issue for nearly every newspaper worldwide, as news goes online. SLT's circulation remains similar to that of the major newspapers of smaller, highly-developed countries such as Ireland and Denmark (Irish Times, Politiken, Berlingske).
I am not making a Wikipedia:Other stuff exists argument. I am arguing against the way in which we are asked to assess the notability of this article against a set of guidelines which have been captured by the pop culture interests of en.wp's dominant demographic of editors, contrary to the basic principle that (per WP:ABOUT) this is an encyclopedia. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:44, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I take your word for it, I never create articles on sport, but have often had to defend professors at AFD who would probably be automatic keeps if they were sportspeople, but this is not the place to try to change policies, however perverse or unjust they may be. (check my user page for the probably 100s of notable women I have created articles about) The fact remains that this is weak article about a person on the borderline of notability. I note that despite everyone saying above how obvious it is that she is notable, the article has only had one minor edit since this discussion started. Prove it! Add the sources and then it will be kept. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:47, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NFOOTY and WP:NPROF are not policies. They are guidelines, which are intended to be descriptive rather than prescriptive. Stephens would be an automatic keep if she was a male footballer, and I see no basis in policy for imposing a higher bar on a knowledge creator than is applied to an entertainer. If one professional gig is enough to keep an article on someone who kicks a piece of inflated leather and received zero GNG-qualifying secondary coverage, then it's enough to keep someone who has made an enduring (albeit minor) contrib to the sum of human knowledge. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:00, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Who claimed she is less notable than a footballer? Not me. I am calling for evidence of her scholarly impact to be added to the article to prove her notability. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:18, 31 January 2018 (UTC)4[reply]
Your initial !vote said right now the case for her notability is not proven. If she was a footballer, it would be taken as proven. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:43, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not proven per the GNG or as an academic. I never mentioned football. Enough already with the football comparisons BrownHairedGirl please. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:19, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
When the double standard goes, I'll drop the comparison. But while ball-kickers get a free pass on GNG, I'll apply the same to academics. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:38, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The new source you added John is directly about her but its not very in depth nor is it independent. I see you added it at the end under "Sources", presumably because you knew it wasn't independent? I changed it to External Links. It might also qualify as Further Reading. The stuff about her children and tenure progression and being a victim of her gender etc is all completely irrelevant here, however valid those points might be elsewhere. We still lack reliable independent sources that discuss her in depth apart from the SLT which I agree is sound. If you follow the link to the paper in Nature about the discovery of the planet, which I was optimistic might help, in fact one sees she is one of around 50 authors credited. I know that's not unusual in scientific papers but it hardly helps here. Frankly, the article and some of the sources, the fact that it was created by a student at her university, are all beginning to look promotional of the subject. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:06, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. In case anyone has forgotten, the student who created the article was paid and then put it forward at DYK, where it would have reached the front page if the reviewer (who has not voted here) had not noticed the problems with it. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:29, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think there is consensus the SLT is a sound source, the trouble is it is the only good one here and it discusses her in a context of a collective effort as confirmed by the numerous authors in the Nature paper. Where are the other sources that discuss her in depth? We need more than one. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:17, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of a person whose only discernible notability claim is that he married his partner in 2011 after same-sex marriage was legalized. Virtually all of the references here are WP:ROUTINE obituaries of him, his husband and his mother upon their deaths, or glancing namechecks of his existence in sources that aren't about him — and the only reference that's actually about him is a blurb about the marriage itself in a "reasons to love New York" listicle. The simple fact of getting married is not, in and of itself, a reason why a person gets an encyclopedia article, and notability is not inherited, so having a notable mother doesn't automatically make him special either — but the sourcing here isn't adequate to make his marriage more notable than millions of other marriages.

With Google searches you need to check that the numbers are not massively inflated, as is often the case. Go to page 10 and see if you still get results. No? Then the original numbers are way too high. Your statement "For notability the subject could not be the main topic, it's enought the sources are reliable." is not true. For notability, the sources need to pay significant attention to the subject, not just mention it in passing. Please indicate one or two of your Goohgle Books results which pay significant attention to the subject. Fram (talk) 09:03, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the first two are well-known by now and not from Google Books anyway. The others: this is not about John Spofford Morgan, it is about his ancestor? This, this and this is the exact same article. This is a newsletter from an historical society for a town of less than 2,000 inhabitants. These kind of hobbyists newsletters don't give notability. This is an entry in a list of members of a club, as is this. Like I said above already... Being mentioned a few times, mostly in relation to an ancestor, does not give someone notability. Which leaves you with the Nymag and nornow articles, where the Norfolk now is an obituary in a very local newswebsite, and the other is a typical lifestyle one-event news item. There simply isn't the notability we require for biographies. Fram (talk) 11:04, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You asked if there were RS on the subject. New York Magazine is a Reliable Source. The Newsletter of a Community is a Reliable Source. The others, even if not on the subject, are Reliable Sources about him (the one about the grandfather already using his name on the Wikipedia page of the Grandfather). And I should add, you are forgetting that my initial proposal is to merge the info on the section of the mother. I think all the reliable sources more than justify a redirect and merge on the mother. Elisa.rolle (talk) 12:10, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, I asked "Please indicate one or two of your Google Books results which pay significant attention to the subject." From my search and your reply, it has become clear that none of them pay significant attention to the subject (they either are about an ancestor, or just mention him in a list). So your posts about hundreds of Google Books results are inflated and misleading, as there aren't hundreds but 11, and those 11 don't give him any notability. And considering that the sources about the mother don't pay attention to him, and that the few sources about him don't pay attention to his mother, merging the two is just an attempt to keep this information in enwiki no matter what. Fram (talk) 12:36, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are entitled to your opinion as I'm to mine. New York magazine (which was reblogged more times), the official Newsletter of the Norfolk town, the official website of the Library of Congress AND their bulletin (more than once) are all Reliable Source who deals with the subject in dept. Other sources (Harvard Club and Boston Symphony Society) refers to him to in a list. Elisa.rolle (talk) 12:48, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Being reblogged is not important, being referred to in a list is not important, being mentioned (once, republished the same text in multiple places) by the LoC in an article about an ancestor where the subject helped with the research is not an indicator of notability either (for the ancestor, yes, not for the subject). All yo have is the NYMag article and the Norfolk obituary. You think this is sufficient, others here clearly don't agree. Fram (talk) 12:52, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
2385 characters on the New York Magazine on the subject: [27], 2105 character on the Norfolk newsletter: [28], 1118 characters on the Library of Congress webiste just on the subject (I did not count that on the ancestor): [29] 1684 characters on the Norfolk Historical Society on the subjec t: [30]. This amount to 7292 characters directly on the subject from Reliable Sources. The listing just help support the notability. I summarized them in a 1329 paragraph (using [31] and [32] and [33] and [34] and [35] and [36] and [37]) as a merge and redirect on the mother. I think that is fair enough. Elisa.rolle (talk) 13:03, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The LoC has nothing directly on the subject[38]. Read that article and tell me what JS Morgan is known for. Never mind why that would be relevant information for the article on his mother. The Norfolk newsletter you now reference is indeed not an obituary, but is also not the official Newsletter of the Norfolk town, but the newsletter of the Norfolk Historical Society. The obituary is the article from the Norfolk Town news site. Fram (talk) 13:41, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for pointing out that one of the main sources it's actually not a duplicate but a new one, "Norfolk Historical Society". Elisa.rolle (talk) 13:44, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You already included both separately in your above list of sources (second and fifth one), and I already discussed them above, so there is litle "new" about it, and it still is a hobbyists newsletter from a small local club (the historical society of a town with less than 2,000 inhabitants).

WP:BLP of a person notable only as a single-market local radio host and non-winning candidate for political office. As always, neither single-market radio hosts nor unelected political candidates are granted an automatic presumption of notability just for existing, but the sourcing here isn't actually helping to single her out as more notable than the norm for either endeavour: her radio work is covered off by a single source from the local media about her announcing her retirement, and her unsuccessful campaign for office is supported by purely run of the mill campaign-related coverage of the type and volume that every candidate in any election always gets.
For both local talk radio hosts and non-winning election candidates, the key to making them notable enough for a Wikipedia article is not just to show that some sources exist, because some sources always exist for everybody who does either of those things -- the key to getting someone into Wikipedia on either of those grounds is to demonstrate that for some real reason she's substantially more notable than the thousands of other people who've been local radio hosts and/or unsuccessful election candidates without getting Wikipedia articles for that. But the sourcing here is just showing exactly what every local radio host and every candidate in every election could always show, and is not demonstrating a credible reason why she's more notable than everybody else who's done the same things.

Biography, referenced to a single primary source that's much more about her husband than her, of a person notable only as the first wife of a politician. While her husband did eventually become Prime Minister of Canada, that didn't happen until ten years after Isabella's death -- so it doesn't make her a spouse of a Prime Minister of Canada for the purposes of clearing the "first lady" exemption to WP:NOTINHERITED, because she wasn't married to him during his term as PM. We extend "first lady" notability to people who are married to a national leader during the national leadership -- but we do not grant "extended genealogy" notability to the first wives that the future leaders were divorced from or widowed by a full decade before actually becoming a national leader, if their notability and sourceability in their own right is this limited. (I'll grant Edna Diefenbaker as an isolated special exception to that, because she was actually the subject in her own right of a full-on biography by a major Canadian writer separately from having had her name mentioned in sources about her husband — but it's the book that makes her a special case, not any sort of automatic inclusion freebie for dead first wives of MPs who hadn't attained the Prime Ministership yet.)

Keep. I am very surprised to see that this very early Wikipedia women's biography from 2003 is suddenly up for deletion, especially as the nominator has edited the article several times since 2009. As the first wife of Canada's first prime minister and the mother of his only surviving son Hugh John Macdonald, Isabella Clark Macdonald has an important place in Canadian history. As noted above, I have come across several accounts of the life of Isabella and have started expanding the article along these lines. The article is no longer based on a single primary source.--Ipigott (talk) 13:12, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@CASSIOPEIA: i understand you mentioned WP:NMMA, but that is not a requirement for all articles about MMA fighters. Rather, MMA fighters who meet those thresholds are presumed to be notable. However, some may be notable for other reasons. I think that's the case here. Fallon Fox notable in part because she is a trans woman MMA fighter. She appears to meet WP:GNG to me. Unless you can convince me her article doesn't meet GNG, I see no reason to delete it. Not meeting NMMA alone isn't sufficient reason. EvergreenFir (talk) 05:00, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@EvergreenFir:, Fox has not fought not only on top tier promotion she has not fought in second tier as well. She got coverage on news was comment from UFC personals/commentators/press on how would she match up with former champion Ronda Rousey. However, in reality, in term of Fox's fights record or achievement, she was far from meeting the criteria to be make the match up. The coverage she received was not about her fights as a MMA fighter but as a transgender for her fights were mainly routine same as thousands of MMA fighters. It has been always a debate between GNG and SNG in Wikipedia - same as many business men, singers, artists and musicians, they do have coverage on media but most do not pass WP:DIRECTOR, WP:CREATIVE, WP:NACTOR or WP:ENTERTAINER for the criteria to meet nobility based on their achievement of their work, significant of their roles on their field, significant "cult" following. This is same as in sportperson on sport specific nobility criteria to meet on participating on top level competitions, award winning record. GNG covers less form of nobility criteria as long as subject passes significant coverage with reliable source but not subject's achievements. Nobility should be permanent but not passing in my opinion, Fox might meet the criteria 3.5 years ago when she was an active fighter but does she has not been active since and no major achievements received, just as an singer received coverage entering a singing competition but not album was produced years after that. This is mainly my thought. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:27, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

News coverage is provided only by unreliable sources. None of the sources are intellectually independent. The Buzzfeed article is not by staff but a "Community Contributor". These types of articles can be purchased to create a semblance of news coverage. Outlets like timemail.in ("The Time Mail assures to bring to you the quality contents clubbed with the fearless journalism".)[1] will publish anything. Mduvekot (talk) 14:58, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article is poorly written. If he is actually the president of FD9, there should be more information about him because FD9 is a known incubator. Also Coordinates collection had become part of a publicly listed company in a widely covered takeover. The author has failed to mention any of those sources. If any experienced editor can rework this to reduce the promotional content, it MAY help. I have removed a LOT of the fluff. Stripped it down to its bare minimum. Not sure if I vote keep (I am searching for more reliable sources) but it is not a strong delete as a "subject" but definitely poorly written.Drmaisel (talk) 17:06, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm tossing this here as a kind of test balloon. To my understanding, this fails all the criteria at WP:NFILM; in particular there's no substantial and reliable coverage. - Depending on what people more experienced with film criteria think, there seems to be at least half a dozen articles about films by this director (Jim Wynorski) that are at the same level, and I'd either leave them alone or string them up depending on the outcome.

(I see this was earlier closed as redirect and an editor tried to fix it up afterwards, but that doesn't seem to have done anything for the referencing.) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:53, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I accidentally restored this page. However, it was very confusing to me as a reader, that why when I clicked on the title of the film was I reading the bio of the director.

For that I do think that it is not proper for Gale Force being a redirect toward the page of the cult director Jim Wynorski. If in one's bio it is important to mention to mention the film Gale Force due to the importance its director of its cast. I would suggest one to write: Gale Force directed by Jim Wynorski, co-starring so and so on.

I prefer keeping the article, however I prefer deletion over keeping it as redirect.

Currently, it is much more worth as reader to stumble on page about Gale Force than to be confused with Wynorski's bio. I saw the film and understand it is a simple direct to video action film. However there is sufficient references out there to confirm the film exist, to have a full synopsis, cast list, release, and even an award section. From which I took the initiative of updating from earlier versions.

The film has a surprisingly famous cast,Treat Williams, Michael Dudikoff, Curtis Armstrong, Susan Walters, Tim Thomerson, Marcia Strassman, and many more, which will keep a Wiki reader going, and clicking away.

Now the Gale Force space exist. Hence I suggest keeping it, over having a page where it is written that it's been deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:7BF5:DB00:882F:FE11:A004:FC1D (talk) 02:20, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Gale Force is over all a standard direct to DVD film, however it has a nice collaboration people, and was without being an overly important film it was properly released. Gale Force could have a nice standard movie page, with over 5 annotation to prove it exist, that could make for a good read, and allows the reader to click away at interesting names.

NOTE: I did all the mentioned in the last paragraph. Gale Force is now a standard article about a random B-movie with a well known cast.Filmman3000 (talk) 19:01, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seems completely promotional in nature. Also, nothing to support any sort of notability. Boomer VialBe ready to fight the horde!Contribs 13:24, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am a member of the Pretoria community, and I see nothing promotional about this article. What I do see is simply one more faculty attempting to outline what it is doing on the University of Pretoria campus, like all the other UP faculties which have created similar articles. There are no photos, no hook lines, and no sales pitches. If anything, this article is light on information, and if a reader is to really get a sense of what is happening in Theology and Religion at UP, more content should be made available. As for notability, the article clearly states that the faculty turned 100 years old in 2017, which is a legacy worth noting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.215.99.34 (talk • contribs) 05:51, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I arrived here by sheer chance; virtually none of the lists have been tagged with AfD tags. Grutness...wha? 13:58, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, when the article’s were originally listed they all had only one legitimate artist listed. Since then some like the New Zealand list have had marked improvements others however have gone backwards and now have no artists listed. I am happy to go back and strikeout those that now meet a basic list (i.e. multiple listings). Dan arndt (talk) 14:30, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
List of Japanese Grammy Award winners and nominees would also fall into this category; it's the only one I checked. It looks like the AfD tag there went up on January 27.

  • Comment A single List of Grammy Award nominees by country would be a frighteningly long list, especially, for each person, we list all the nominations. Largoplazo (talk) 16:20, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed and I thought about that. At first I was going to suggest categories since they don't seem to exist, but when I look at List of Malian Grammy Award winners and nominees, not all have pages. You could change List of Israeli Grammy Award winners and nominees into Category:Israeli Grammy Award winners and nominees and it would get the people across, but that doesn't apply to every country. - GalatzTalk 16:35, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm proposing all these short (1 or 2 entry) and contriversial articles for speedy deletion as everyone suggested, and some wikipedians suggested they should be added to List of Grammy nominees by country as seperate sections.

Non-notable website and/or organization. Except for an account of US government harassment of its publisher (footnote 1) and a case of mistaken identity (footnote 4), all the "sources" are the website itself. The "sources" at the website are all cited as examples of how eeeevil it is, in one of the worst cases of original research I've come across in a long time. The website itself has been down since late 2012 and I couldn't find any substantial coverage of it. The SPLC wrote about it in 2001, describing it as a "tiny" group with a website. Stormfront mentions it as well. Nowhere close to notable, either as an organization or as a website. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 04:35, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delayed deletion. Phew! I’m closing this as delete but I’m going to delay the actions until after the inevitable DRV which can be started without pretending to discuss the close with me for forms sake.

Let’s set the scene. VPP discussions do not authorise deletion but its not true to say that only arguments in an AFD can support deletion as the whole point of closing against consensus is that we measure the arguments against wider policy considerations and a cross project consensus on policy has more validity then that from a group of editors enthusiastic about a subject. A good example of this is marginally notable BLPs regularly being deleted because BLP1E out trumps the gng.

So we have a wider consensus from VPP that this class of articles fail NOTDIR and are effectively UNDUE often being spun out of articles because they are too unwieldy. On the other hand we have arguments to keep on the basis that they pass the GNG and are effectively useful, What is also unhelpful was canvassing on the keep side meaning that I had to give the keep arguments a little less weight to balance that out - but even if I did the effect would have been the same as wider project consensus beats local consensus.

It would be extremely disruptive to delete all these articles and links until the argument has gone through the full process which inevitably will include a DRV and, likely, further discussion at ANI before the final consensus is clear. I am therefore delaying enacting the close which ever is the later of until consensus is clear or two weeks. I’m leaving tags on so that interested editors can find the latest links of where the discussion is. Spartaz Humbug! 11:17, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

After review, the above close is overturned to Keep. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:01, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • If I wanted to find what airline went where then I would book a travel agent rather than try to find it on Wikipedia. This isn't encyclopedic but can help travelers find which is the best airline to take via Wikivoyage. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:18, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've never used Wikipedia to search for travel information on what airline flies where, or used it to plan a trip. However, I have used Wikipedia in the same way I've used old airline books: figuring out the scope of an airline, especially looking for interesting destinations that show how an airline connects countries you wouldn't expect to be connected, or how this has changed over time. There's more value to this information than using it to plan a trip. SportingFlyer (talk) 23:26, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I had already notified the airlines project by posting a bald statement on the relevant Talk page. Jetstreamer's comment was utterly unnecessary and was far from bald. YSSYguy (talk) 14:30, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Justified or not, that notification was not the slightest bit neutral. Let's not pretend it was. Lepricavark (talk) 04:34, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure the closer will take that into account. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:44, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If we're going to hyper-analyze the language of notifications to appropriate stakeholders, let me point out that the RfC listing for the Village Pump discussion was "These 444 pages are lists of every single city each of these airlines fly to. Should Wikipedia be hosting this content or is it a case of Wikipedia is not a directory?" (emphasis from original). Hardly bald either. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 09:31, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure if this AfD is being run as a test case or if we will be doing this many more times on a case-by-case basis; anyway Pan Am destinations has been mentioned above so I will discuss that. I agree that "information about evolution of route structure is essential to a full understanding of what happened to the airline", but there is nothing in the Pan Am destinations list that aids understanding of what happened to Pan American World Airways. There is nothing in that list that tells me that Pan Am operated to some of its Central- and South American destinations for six decades. There is nothing in that list that tells me that Pan Am operated an extensive West German domestic network because only one airline each of France, the UK, the US and the USSR could operate to Berlin. There is nothing in that list that tells me that Gander in Canada and Shannon in Ireland were purely refuelling stops for Transatlantic flights and were dropped once aircraft improved to the point that they could fly nonstop. There is nothing in that list that tells me that Pan Am got into financial trouble partly because (apart from serving Hawaii and Alaska) it was a purely international airline and was competing with domestic airlines that started flying internationally and which had all those domestic passengers to whom they could offer a seamless service. There is nothing in that list that tells me that a lot of routes were dropped in the 1970s to save money. There is nothing in that list that tells me that Pan Am sold all of its Pacific Ocean routes to another airline in order to raise money. There is nothing in that list that tells me that Pan Am finally began US domestic operations when it was allowed to take over another carrier. There is nothing in that list that tells me that Pan Am sold its London Heathrow routes to raise more money. All of this information is in the parent article. The list (any list) does not convey any useful information about the evolution of Pan Am's (or any other airline's) route structure - all there is, is a list of names; there is no context to any of it.

In this day and age, it is possible to find news stories about pretty-much everything - house fires, car crashes, a lost cat found (yes, national news in Australia) - so the reporting by Denver news media outlets of a new flight from Denver and a report of airline news by a guy whose job it is to report airline news does not "come close to satisfying WP:GNG", however let's say for the sake of argument that it does. If we take information that isn't notable, but almost is, and we omit the details that make this information "verge on notable" and lump what's left together, somehow it becomes notable?

Further comment: The DEN-NRT flight was the primary topic of at least 20 articles in the Denver Bussiness Journal over a 4 year period.

  • I am advising the closer to note that the Village Pump discussion is a local consensus of few people and shouldn't influence this AfD in anyway the same way "the consensus" lacked power to delete such vast number of article and how the action was overturned by this overwhelming consensus at AN
  • Referencing VP "consensus" as reason of deletion is invalid deletion rationale because if the consensus was effective to caused their deletion then we wouldn't have come here at all, they would've been left as deleted by that consensus.
  • Per WP:SPLITLIST These articles mostly were spin off from their parent airline articles because, if incorporated they will cause airline articles to become incredibly large beyond recommend size and for accessibility issues.
  • These articles passes WP:GNG and are sourced. Example, Air India, EgyptAir. (Also noteworthy, many sources are already provided here by many users.).
  • Wikipedia is not limited by paper and host voluminous material way beyond that can be found in traditional encyclopedias. it acts as gazzetter, almanacs and general interest encyclopedia to preserve knowledge and facts for posterity.

Yes, Billhpike. That was project-wide consensus at a properly advertised RfC on VPP. There is hardly a stronger level of consensus imaginable. Also, I don't think it's constructive to suggest that community consensus on this matter has changed in the mere four days that have passed since the RfC was closed. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 09:07, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Has there been a precedent set I'm unaware of for basing consensus for controversial article deletions on RfCs at the Village Pump? To my knowledge AfD is the only appropriate venue for discussion of such deletions. "Properly advertised" or not, that discussion didn't attract nearly as much attention and discussion as this one has over a much shorter time. It's not that consensus has changed -- this discussion is more likely to be indicative of a broader consensus than that one. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 09:26, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, W7KyzmJt, AfD is the only appropriate venue for deletion discussions. But the consensus on what kinds of articles we should and shouldn't have has always been forged elsewhere as well. Are you going to tell me that the WP:N policy is moot because decisions on ultimately keeping or deleting an article are made at AfD? Of course not. AfD makes these decisions, but it makes them based on policies and guidelines. By the way, the RfC didn't close as "these articles should be deleted". It closed as "Wikipedia should not have these lists". It was a discussion on the breadth of WP:N/NOT, not a deletion discussion. The usual advice applies to you; if you think that the RfC overstepped its boundaries, rise the issue at WP:CLOSECHALLENGE. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 10:19, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We are at this point procedurally because there was a consensus Wikipedia should not have these lists, which referred the consensus to the deletion process. There is no current consensus on whether these lists should be deleted, though. In fact there is currently a 2-to-1 in favor of "keep." I believe a "keep" vote here essentially means the user believes these lists belong on Wikipedia. I think as more people have become aware of the last discussion through the deletion process, myself included, the original consensus may not be as strong as it appeared.

Re your statement "consensus on what kinds of articles we should and shouldn't have has always been forged elsewhere as well. Are you going to tell me that the WP:N policy is moot because decisions on ultimately keeping or deleting an article are made at AfD?": Except that there was no new policy or policy change under discussion. The discussion was about how existing policies, such as WP:N, applied to these articles. That's no different than a discussion about whether a biographical article does not meet WP:NBIO and should be deleted. And that type of discussion is only appropriate for AfD. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 09:06, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I feel that looking up which airlines took you to x location would be travel advice.

My sense is that it is a bit of a dangerous precedent to have Village Pump discussions be used to delete articles rather than the normal AFD process...my sense is that more people would be attracted here from the AfD notice on the pages themselves than from the AN thread, and the usual way we get consensus to delete things on Wikipedia is to post notice on the things to be deleted themselves, so the part of the community that that attracts should be the one that makes the decision.

This AfD is carried out precisely because of the outcome of the original RfC. The result of this should not be tied to that of the original RfC.--Jetstreamer Talk 01:14, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I argued for overturning the speedy deletions. Your sense on that is correct. What you are completely wrong on, however, is that local consensus can override a clear community consensus at the village pump or similar forum: it can't. The keep arguments here are ignoring the fact that there is an unambigious community consensus against having these articles, and thus are arguing against policy and should be ignored unless they can bring up specific points that were not addressed in the RfC. Arguing that this local consensus can somehow overturn a positive consensus somewhere else (as opposed to no consensus) is not how we run this project. This is not the RfC round 2. If substantial concerns that were not there can be raised for individual articles, sure, but I don't see that here. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:17, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody is not permitting the editors that participated in the RfC to voice their opinion here. Again, the RfC was closed and this is a new instance according to the AN closure.--Jetstreamer Talk 01:23, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Local consensus cannot override community consensus. If you are intent on relitigating the RfC, your !vote should have zero weight when closed. That's how consensus works. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:29, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In closing the RFC, Fish and karate noted that the lists were inappropriate because of excessive detail and maintenance required.
With respect to excessive detail, I would argue that neither WP:NOTDIR nor WP:INDISCRIMINATE are applicable here apply due to the extensive third party coverage of airline destinations (see my comment above). For both of these policies, the principle of Expressio unius est exclusio alterius means that, to the extent these policies are ambiguous, they must be interpreted as indicating a community consensus contrary to the results of the RFC.
With respect to the maintenance required to maintain these lists, this argument is not listed in WP:DEL#REASON. It again follows that there is a community consensus contrary to the results of the RFC.
If the RFC had proposed updating WP:NOT (aka WP:DEL14) or the list at WP:DEL-REASON, I would accept the results of the RFC as community consensus. However, the RFC neither proposed to update these policies nor was closed with a consensus to update these policies, so no new community consensus was established. Instead, the RFC amounted to a local consensus in a improper venue.

Billhpike, we are at this AfD because the result of the RfC is community consensus whether you choose to accept it or not. The closing admin is the one to make that call, and in this case they have. If you think the administration acted in error, please follow the instructions at WP:CLOSECHALLENGE. Besides, not every RfC results in altered wording at some policy. If they did, we would have a huge problem with WP:CREEP and some pretty volatile policies. How policies are implemented is determined by consensus too. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 09:17, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's pretty clearly accepted at this point that the closing admin acted in error. Consensus on WP:AN was to restore the articles and go through proper procedures at AfD. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 09:43, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, W7KyzmJt. The AN thread was about the actions of Beeblebrox who was not the closing admin. AN found no fault with the close of the original RfC and that wasn't overturned. It was found that Beeblebrox had overstepped his boundaries, not that the RfC had. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 10:19, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Quoting directly from the AN conclusion: "There is a strong consensus in this thread that Beeblebrox's deletions of the 444 pages in Category:Lists of airline destinations should be undone, and the pages listed there should be AfD'd in an orderly manner" (emphasis mine). Furthermore the option that received by far the most !votes stated "The RFC at the village pump did not serve to establish consensus for mass deletion. The pages should be restored and normal AfD procedures followed." I don't know how much clearer agreement you can get that the RfC did not establish consensus. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 23:43, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
TonyBalloni, you keep insisting that "local consensus cannot override community consensus," implying that the Village Pump represents "the community" but AfD is somehow "local." AfD is the only appropriate venue for discussion of (controversial) article deletions -- as an admin, you are certainly aware of this. This listing has already attracted far more substantial discussion than the one at VP. And your borderline-hostile attitude here (telling a user he is "completely wrong" and his "!vote should have zero weight"; asking another "What are you even talking about?") is unbecoming of an admin. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 06:25, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with Tony, but don’t think he has been hostile. BillHPike (talk, contribs) 07:13, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is not clear to me that the Village Pump discussion is a better representation of "the community" than the discussion here. The normal protocol for article deletion is that a tag is posted on the article and thus people who are watching the article are notified of the discussion. To get consensus in another venue for the deletion of an article, without that tag, strikes me as circumventing the usual channels for getting consensus to delete an article. CapitalSasha ~ talk 01:33, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What's being labeled as "community consensus" above is arguably the definition of WP:CONLIMITED. A vast majority of editors including myself rarely pay any attention to the Village Pump let alone know it even exists. Volunteer editors are too busy either creating new articles or improving existing ones. That Village Pump discussion went on for 23 days and there were only 21 editors who gave a definitive "yes" or "no" opinion. This batch AfD has barely been open for 2 days and there's already been 29 definitive opinions on the subject. If that's not evidence of a limited group of users who pay close attention of the "meta" discussions coming to their small group conclusion without wide community input, I don't know what is. --Oakshade (talk) 04:28, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is the exact opposite of how CONLIMITED works. Village pump discussions hold more weight than individual AfDs. They set policy, and AfDs are how we apply policy to individual articles. That the people arguing keep here don't know how Wikipedia policy and consensus works is not a reason to ignore the community consensus on these topics, especially given that the majority of the people who will be commenting here are those with a vested interest in the topic rather than the broader community at the village pump. The closer is required by policy to ignore those opinions that do not fit with the established community consensus. No one is saying that an RfC at the village pump should have deleted the articles. What is being argued is that per that consensus, we should delete them in that AfD. WP:CONLIMITED actually works against keeping them, under every normal reading of Wikipedia policy. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:17, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
According to WP:CONLIMITED,
As far as I can see, on 1 January 2018 Beeblebrox left just these [48] [49] two notifications regarding the VPP discussion, and they seemingly went unnoticed for the participants of the involved Wikiprojects. I don't see that Beeblebrox notified a wider audience, as is the case with this AfD (actually, the VPP discussion attracted far less participants than this one). Following WP:CCC, which was cited several times in this very page, can you please explain how the VPP discussion set precedent when we are here because of the result of an AN discussion that actually challenged the VPP outcome? If, whatever the result, this AfD is not taken as community consensus, having so far attrated more participants than the original VPP discussion, can you please tell me what consensus is?--Jetstreamer Talk 16:13, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's because VPP is the universally accepted "Wider audience" on the English Wikipedia for policy discussions. There is literally no better place to have that discussion from a policy basis. This AfD is the limited local consensus that lacks notification, not the other way around. The WikiProject people who want to ignore community consensus here are citing CCC: it doesn't work like that, especially so soon after a VPP RfC closed. If you want to challenge that consensus, you start a new RfC to form community consensus. You don't make an AfD where the only people who are going to see it are the people that care about keeping the topic the basis for community policy. So, if you want to change the consensus, start a new RfC. Until then, the closer should ignore everything that goes against that closure. That is what they are mandated to do under our deletion process. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:43, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Having this discussion after the closure of the one at AN says otherwise.--Jetstreamer Talk 19:57, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. The AfD is the proper place to discuss article deletion. See Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment versus Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion. Also see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes: "Lists are likely to be kept if they are limited in scope, are based upon concrete criteria for inclusion, have verifiable content, and have a logical reason for their construction." The consensus at the RfC is a limited policy consensus on this topic alone, possibly by biased authors (the starter of the discussion speedy deleted these articles before they were stopped due to policy reasons). If anything, the proper procedure should be keeping these articles for now based on either a consensus to keep or no consensus, and opening up a new discussion on how to reform these articles to survive a deletion. Articles which are flagrantly in violation of the WP:NOTDIRECTORY should be nominated for deletion next, as opposed to articles by airline alliance. SportingFlyer (talk) 22:56, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm in favour of keeping them all, just in case you're replying to me.--Jetstreamer Talk 00:12, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, I was replying to the thread (the one above yours), not you specifically. I'm also in favor of keeping them all. Just stumbled upon some very good destination pages which should be emulated which again remind me of those special airline books you used to have to buy. SportingFlyer (talk) 02:28, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I guess for me the argument would be that the discussion at WP:VPP was inappropriate to begin with as a violation of the "federalism" that is implicit in Wikipedia's practice of having deletion discussions be centered around the articles that are actually going to be deleted, rather than at a central location without notification to the people who have been editing the article. I am not expert enough in Wikipedia policies to cite a particular guideline here, but consider the scenario in which someone posted an RFC at WP:VPP asking if a particular article should be deleted. That person would (I think) be told that WP:VPP is an inappropriate venue for that discussion, and that the discussion should be taken to AfD, even though the consensus at WP:VPP would be "superior" to any consensus developed at AfD. It seems that this class of articles is not broad enough to be the subject of a Wikipedia guideline -- thus the discussion at VPP was not, in my mind, a policy discussion, but rather an AfD in the wrong venue. CapitalSasha ~ talk 21:03, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What are you even talking about? Of course the village pump discussion should have happened to create a standard here before going to individual AfDs. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:21, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You're implying that the "consensus" reached at VP over this issue is as valid as the one that will eventually be reached here.

As I stated above, WP:PAPER points to WP:NOTEVERYTHING. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:39, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that dismissing arguments per WP:OSE/WP:WAX is a good thing in this discussion. The reason is that we are not looking at an individual article, but at a whole category of articles. Here, we are basically trying to determine whether airline destination lists should be in Wikipedia. "Should Wikipedia include this type of articles?" is a difficult question, and answering it by looking at what types of articles Wikipedia generally includes seems a sane way of doing it. As there is no other encyclopaedia comparable to Wikipedia (which is both a general purpose encyclopaedia and a collection of highly specialised ones for particular subtopics), we can't hide behind arguments such as "not usually found in encyclopaedias". Deleting these lists, which have exactly the same problems (or not) as, say, List of programs broadcast by American Broadcasting Company, will do quite some harm, and no advantage of doing so has been given. —Kusma (t·c) 10:04, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is your personal point of view though, what if I say that List of programs broadcast by American Broadcasting Company isn't needed? It boils down to a WP:ILIKEIT argument. Here might be a good reason, our sister project Wikivoyage could use things like these as it can be helpful to travelers. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:06, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your first point -- which well-sourced non-OR lists we should have seems to be a ILIKEIT/IDONTLIKEIT thing, as we don't have any much better general principle about what belongs and what doesn't. I don't believe there is a convincing argument that explains why TV guides should be acceptable, but destination lists should not. As to your other point, I don't know whether Wikivoyage would like these lists, but I guess they would remove all of the interesting and encyclopaedic information about when or why routes were opened or about former destinations (all of that has no place in a travel guide). —Kusma (t·c) 09:21, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that we are just an online encyclopedia and not much more. In particular, we are not a travel guide and our limited scope means that nothing stays for simply being useful. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 18:28, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In the alternative, we could have route maps instead of destination lists. For example, I have no plans to ever fly to Angola butright now I would like to know where TAAG Angolan Airlines flies. Do they fly to South America? How many European cities? Just 1 or 2 or more, like 6? To they fly to the Middle East and India? This kind of information is encyclopedic.

  • It's travel related, it's not travel guide related! I've never seen this information in any travel guide I've ever read, since travel guides don't list all of the places one specific airline can take you. You can't use these lists to plan a trip, since they don't tell you anything about the timetable, or even which routes the airline flies from what airport! Plus, travel guides are never broken out by airline. What these lists do is tell you the geographic scope of the airline, both currently and historically. This is important and encyclopedic! Furthermore, WP:NOTDIRECTORY's current schedule examples refer to television broadcasts, which change constantly. While these are also "current schedules," they do not fit that criteria in the same way: these lists are not timetables, nor do they change all that often - and when they do, they satisfy the notability criteria. SportingFlyer (talk) 04:19, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree - "currently scheduled destinations" may be the proper term, not "current schedule." SportingFlyer (talk) 06:43, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whether or not Wikipedia can be used to select an airline is completely moot. WP:USEFUL ness is not a reason to create or keep an article. AadaamS (talk) 06:45, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • My argument wasn't about usefulness - "let's keep the directory/travel data since it's useful!" - it's that these articles are neither directory (not a catalogue of current schedules) nor travel (not found in travel guides) at all, and therefore deleting them on that basis is unreasonable. SportingFlyer (talk) 08:15, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"These lists tell you which airline will take you where"; not directly they won't. They don't say "city A is connected with city B". They show how an airline has changed over time, have they shrunk? Have they grown? Destinations, both present and historical, are among the most notable information for airlines. Garretka (talk) 12:13, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • As noted above, I disagree - these are not articles you would find in any normal travel guide and therefore Wikivoyage is not the proper place for them. SportingFlyer (talk) 08:15, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikivoyage does not host articles about airlines. Given that airlines are notable (and therefore eligible for inclusion here) and destinations are the core of their operations, it is natural to have them split from the parent article.--Jetstreamer Talk 20:33, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Draftify. There's clear consensus that this doesn't belong in main space in its present form. What's not clear from the discussion is whether it's a hopeless case. Moving it to draft space per J04n solves the immediate problem while allowing for several possible ways forward and complies with WP:ATD.

With some work to clean up the WP:OR and (critically) find good sources, maybe this could be salvaged. Given that it's been tagged for sourcing problems for 11 years, I'm not terribly optimistic about that, but we'll see. Maybe some of it should be merged into Oregon Trail. Maybe some additional information about other trails and a rename would make this main-space-worthy. If, after some reasonable amount of time, there's been no useful progress in any of these areas, feel free to bring the draft back to AfD MfD.

Extensive searching found no actual use of the term "medicine trail" in association with these trails. The first source is a book on horse breeding which is completely immaterial to the topic. The Great Medicine Road, Part 1 is available on Google Books, but it does not use the term "Medicine trail" at any point. Similarly, searching the works cited + the term "medicine trail" turned up no results besides Wikipedia mirrors. Most of the content of the article is immaterial to the phrase "medicine trail" to begin with, and I was overall unable to find anything supporting the use of the term in this context.

I'm not even sure about redirecting to Oregon Trail, since the sources provided above use the phrase to refer to the Oregon Trail, to a leg of Lewis and Clark's journey, to one specific Indian route through Wyoming, and as a metonym for westward migration in general. (And with the exception of the HQ snippet and the over-land.com site, which talk about Indian routes in general and then use the phrase "medicine trail" to mean the Wyoming route specifically, that's all they do, establish the phrase as an alternate name for something else.

Wilderness Trails, sometimes also called bison trails, are a series of North American trails made by the act of migrating animal herds for thousands of years. The herds, primarily bison, led early people out of the harsh full regions of the Ice Age and centuries later, the trails were followed by influential explorers during the exploration of the west. Some of these trails survive as modern highways.

Atsme, although he has had a hit record as part of a duo, this was essentially a novelty single by two reality TV personalities, rather than that they are a musical duo (who knows, they may prove everyone wrong and have a long career together!). They both appeared on the same show, Love Island, which is more what they are known for and what most of the coverage is on, plus now, Kem's 'Dancing on Ice' participation. Most coverage is of them separately and only Kem has had a significant role in multiple notable TV shows. Boleyn (talk) 14:24, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Portraits of Presidents of the United States[edit]

Taking to AFD since PROD was contested. This page violates WP:NOTGALLERY, which states Wikipedia is not an image repository, and what we have here is really just a collection of images with some accompanying text. It's better to just place each portrait in their corresponding presidential articles instead of having a page that's only decorative. Snuggums (talk / edits) 01:04, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lira–Gulu–Agago High Voltage Power Line[edit]

Lira–Gulu–Agago High Voltage Power Line (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:CRYSTAL. If and when this power plant actually gets constructed, it may become a notable subject. So far, it is a proposed line which has received little independent attention yet. The only independent reliable source in the article, "Sunrise Uganda", seems to be infected by some malware, as it first asks for a password and then gives a "website blocked" error which I could only get rid of by shutting down my browser. Not the kind of source added in response to a ProD which makes one happy.... Fram (talk) 07:45, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article claims four things in the "construction" section as of June 2017, but these are according to the source[64] things about a "Lira–Gulu–Nebbi–Arua High Voltage Power Line", and the "Gulu-Agago" line is the next section in that document, and has the status "Update of feasibility study in final stages". No "Lira-Gulu-Agago" line as a whole even exists in that document. Son instead of a 240km line from Lira, this is a 85 km line from Gulu where the feasability study isn't even finished.

  • (edit clash) Comment regarding this document [66] from Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL) as cited by Fram above. The article clearly states that the project is starting from Lira which is where UETCL's substation is located. Therefore, it is totally understandable why UETCL will not mention its own substation's location (Lira) but only mention "Gulu-Agago" as evident on page 19 of that document. That said, I also noticed that it did mention the "Lira-Gulu-Nebbi-Arua" transmission project. Notice however that, that particular project is on the first list of that heading. All subsequent projects under that heading where the project is starting from Lira were abbreviated with the word Lira omitted - as Lira has already been mentioned in the first line. My guess is this is merely a writing style. As regards to your latest comment above, those issues should be reflected in the article but financial/budgetary issues does not warrant a deletion of an article. It is not our place to determine whether something is going to be built or not and to use our own personal biases to push for a result. Our role is to cite the reliable sources which have been cited and leave it with the reader. To push for delete because you think it may not be completed is simply OR not to mention disruptive. Reliable sources which argue that case should be included in the article but that is not a genuine reason for delete. It is not for you to decide what will or will not be completed. If you think it will not be completed, put it in the article and cite your sources with reference to weight. Senegambianamestudy (talk) 14:17, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment @Fram : Further, that is a government budget published in a reliable source, so your point has not merit. Senegambianamestudy (talk) 14:30, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have given no indication whether I think it will be completed or not, and I have no interest in deciding what will or will not be completed (no idea where you get that idea from). But a line which has received very little independent attention (and the reprint of a government speech is not an independent source, just like the reprint of a press release is not an independent source), and where it is obviously unclear if and when it will be built, is not ready for an article; that is not "my own personal bias" but WP:CRYSTAL plain and simple. At the moment, this belongs in a list of HV lines in Uganda, with status "proposed" or some such. If it gets more individual, indepth, independent coverage it may be recreated as an independent article. Fram (talk) 14:52, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
