Akhadir Recordings Amsterdam[edit]

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

Apparently shameless self-promotion, no indication at all of notability. It's already been deleted once as A7 (which surely applies to this version too), but that doesn't definitely solve the problem. I tried moving it to draft space so that the author could try to do something about it, but he/she submitted the draft and then moved it to mainspace while I was declining it. Delete and salt, please. Note: another apparent deletion in the log is the result of an unsuccessful hijack of Digital Distribution Netherlands.

Keep. It's not as easy as I thought to find coverage online, but there's some. Zzap!64 was featured in a documentary, according to [1] from The Independent.

Keep There are sources out there per NRP above. While I do not see a lot of coverage from quick searches what I do see gives me a reasonable expectation that there are better/more in-depth ones out there. This is a pretty classic NEXIST keep. Jbh ^Talk 02:25, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - One of the most notable gaming publications of the 1980s. Even I've heard of this mag, and I've never owned a Commodore computer or even had an academic interest in it. Certainly more sources can be added than what's in the article at present; for starters, as noted in the article itself, Retro Gamer did a big feature on Zzap!64 a while back.--Martin IIIa (talk) 02:33, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An editor WP:CANVASSed me to take the ((advert)) tag off this article. This may have been a mistake. Being an obliging soul, I looked at the citations in the article and conducted my own search. I found nothing to get this article past WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. I found nothing more than quotations from him in articles about other topics, and social sites. I found no independent WP:RS sources at all about him. Delete.

Find and add some sources. I couldn't find any. They don't have to be in English. Sources in e.g. Hindi would be great, so long as they're WP:RS – in particular, if they are independent and are about the topic of the article. Narky Blert (talk) 22:52, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of sports clubs playing in the league of another country[edit]

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

WP:LISTCRUFT page that appears to fail WP:GNG via WP:LISTN as the topic of the list Sports clubs playing the league of another country does not appear to be widely covered topic in general. (Per LISTN, the general requirement is: "has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list".) This page originated as List of association football clubs playing in the league of another country from December 2006 to May 2016, a topic that does at least appear to be well-documented as the governing bodies in football are recognized and organize designated national leagues. That topic was recently re-split from the nominated page in January 2018 (creating a WP:Parallel histories problem for edit history attribution).

The nominated page appears to have taken the sourced topic of football national leagues and foreign team participation and then used original research to synthesize an extrapolated list of so-called national leagues and teams, when there is no documentation that says that a league or team is a representative or sanctioned by a national governing body. (The lead even says Conditions for competing in a "foreign" league, as well as in a continental/confederational competition, are set case-by-case by the international sports federation as well as the respective confederation and national sport associations involved.) A good example of this here is American and Canadian gridiron football, which has no national governing bodies for professional leagues, yet it has the American expansions for the CFL (which decided to that on their own through their own board of governors) and Canadian and Mexican teams in indoor American football (which again has no sanctioning and is entirely up to each league's operators).

Some of these sports probably can be sourced with national governing bodies (some rugby is sanctioned I believe) and should be taken on a sport-by-sport basis, splitting into new single-sport or league articles. But as an overarching general topic, all sports do not necessarily have actual "national" leagues (despite their names sometimes, like National Hockey League, which is definitely neither a solely Canadian or American league). See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of ice hockey clubs playing in the league of another country for a long discussion of this. Yosemiter (talk) 19:44, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm voting delete for similar reasons I voted delete for the other AfD mentioned above: WP:OR, WP:SYNTH and the fact there's no real criteria for the list. I would vote strong keep for the association football list, though, as that's well referenced and has clear criteria due to the way in which the sport is internationally administered.

Voxel Tycoon[edit]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Video games-related deletion discussions. The1337gamer (talk) 18:48, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: While it is true that there is not much outside information on Voxel Tycoon yet, this is because it has not yet been released. I would prefer if the article were kept until the game is released, and then if it is still not sufficiently covered by independent and reliable sources a reasonable amount of time afterwards (say, a week or two) then deletion is an acceptable action to take. DesertPipeline (talk) 19:47, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Original nominator is correct. Deletion immediately is completely reasonable. I will recreate the article when there are reliable, independent sources on the subject of the game. DesertPipeline (talk) 21:09, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you create an article on topic that no coverage whatsoever from reliable, independent sources? We don't create articles on topics that aren't notable and have zero coverage. Your keep vote means nothing if you can't back it up with policy-based argument. Your reasoning actually supports my proposal for deleting the article because you've admitted that their is no coverage whatsoever. Saying "Hey, there might be some websites covering in a couple of weeks." is not even close to an acceptable argument for keeping the article. --The1337gamer (talk) 20:19, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't zero coverage. There are videos people unrelated to the developers have made talking about the game. On the first page when Googling "Voxel Tycoon" (quotes included) there is a site called "gamingonlinux" that talks about the game. On the second page, "indieretronews". It's not much, but it's not zero. There are people aware of this game, and what is the harm in an article on it? This isn't another one of those utterly awful "games" released by a "developer" on Steam for quick cash. DesertPipeline (talk) 20:28, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Videos from random people on the internet are not reliable sources. This is encyclopedia that has a policies and guidelines. We write articles on topics that have significant coverage from reliable sources. Otherwise we'd have millions of articles on nonsense. There are thousands of trash games released on Steam every year but we don't have articles on all of them for a reason. There is reason we have deletion policy. Spend some time reading it, as well as Wikipedia's other policies, before you start creating articles. --The1337gamer (talk) 20:36, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did you not notice where I said (not in your words) that this game is precisely not another "trash game released on Steam"? If that were the case, it would already be released, because people who try and make a quick profit off a very poor quality game don't spend effort on it. They just make it as quickly as they can and then release it, hoping that at least some people will purchase it and then for whatever reason fail to refund it within the specified timeframe. And do you have anything to say regarding the two websites that cover the game, "gamingonlinux" and "indieretronews"? DesertPipeline (talk) 20:43, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Developer's intentions aren't important. Only thing that matters is coverage from reliable sources, as I've reiterated. Indieretronews is an amateurish blog, not a news publisher or media website with team of editorial staff. Same goes for gamingonlinux. Neither has been vetted as a reliable source at WP:VG/RS. Furthermore, none of the dozens of reliable sources that we do list at WP:VG/RS cover this game, hence why I have nominated for deletion. Even if these two websites were considered reliable sources, the articles they have on the game are composed of two short paragraphs. That's not significant coverage or in depth at all for page on generalist encyclopedia. It's about as bare bones as you can get. --The1337gamer (talk) 21:02, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your points are fair. I certainly do not like it, but I will accept deletion of my article. I have copied the contents from Source Editing to a text document so that I can recreate this article when it does have sources. However, what am I going to do about the game logo uploaded? It is specifically for use in this article, and it would be frustrating to have to reupload it again when the game is released. Is there anything that can be done about that? Regardless, I don't want this deletion discussion dragged on any further. You are correct, as is the commenter below regarding WP:TOOSOON. I would appreciate if the article were deleted immediately. Nothing will save the article right now, all I can do is wait for the game's release then recreate the article with independent sources. DesertPipeline (talk) 21:09, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to move this page to my draft space for now. Is it possible to do that while the article is AfD'd? I agree with the deletion, I don't want this to drag out. I apologise for creating the article too soon. DesertPipeline (talk) 23:13, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now. While this game could definitely get some coverage when it's release (Metacritic's already got a page for it), it's probably too soon to have an article for it. Alternatively, we could move it to draftspace for now. JOE BRO 64 20:57, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or draftify If nothing else, it's definitely WP:TOOSOON. I'd give DesertPipeline the draft because it could become notable on release, but it will not be automatically notable. SportingFlyer talk 23:46, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Likely a hoax. The claim of being on the Monaco national team links to a roster reference which lists a Shanka Dias not Shanka Jayasinha in the roster. The claim to being on the university of Miam i football team in 2014 is contradicted by the team's web site which lists the 2014 roster with nobody by the name of Shanka on the roster. Considering that the Hurricane's are an NCAA Division I team, and the considerable coverage of college football in the US, it's rather telling there is absolutely no coverage of a "Shanka Jayasinha" playing college football. -- Whpq (talk) 19:29, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deep Eddy Vodka[edit]

Notability concerns. The references are egregiously low-quality, generally press releases about product releases or about non-notable awards. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:33, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I have cleaned up the page to include good sources.

Keep - I was checking the names in the "List of vodkas" page and most of the vodkas are less notable but still have reviewed pages. While Deep Eddy doesn't have a HuffPost or CNN covering it, very rarely do local spirit brands get that sort of coverage (unless you are Johnny Walker). most spirits focused coverages exist. Take Laphroaig or Grey Goose , two major spirit brands - they have badly written pages but rightly reviewed. Compared to that, this page is an improvement. If you're in Texas, everyone knows this brand. I agree with the author - notability is fairly certain.

Strong Keep - passes WP:GNG, WP:ORGIND and WP: AUD is met here. Enough industry specific sources -- CBcleaner (talk) 17:10, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I don't see any Keep-"votes", which are firmly & convincingly arguing their case.

So far, I'm only seeing two kind of "arguments" being swung:

Arg.Type.1.: The subject/article passes WP:Something, being stated without any attempt of providing evidence as to why it passes WP:Something.

Problem: Without presenting any evidence (or any proper evidence, i.e. evidence, which is argued & actual evidence of passing), then you might as well say "It passes notability, because it's notable!" (or "It passes notability, because it's notable, and here's a picture of my cat, which clearly proves notability!").

Arg.Type.2.: The subject/article passes notability by having many mentions/coverage from multiple alleged quality/reliable sources.

Problem: I'm betting I can find an even greater number of sources of far better quality and reliability, when it comes to the weather forecast for Texas 21.Feb.2018.

If notability and mentions/coverage are interchangeable (synonyms), then "Texas Wheather on 20. February 2018" is far from the only article, of higher importance, needed to be created on Wikipedia.

--DexterPointy (talk) 17:34, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To explain my "Strong Keep" vote better, I have edited the page to add better references and removed press releases. Houston Chronicle, Kentucky.com, Wall Street Journal, Houston Press should help establish WP:ORGIND and WP:GNG. The articles in these publications didn't have Deep Eddy as mere mentions, they specifically focused on the brand. BevNet, Bar Magazine, BarBiz Mag references would cater to WP:AUD since these are industry specific. CBcleaner (talk) 16:50, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Could you here please list just 3 references (URLs), which you regard as the most important ones, for serving as clear evidence of notability? DexterPointy (talk) 00:40, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, these are the four most relevant ones:

1. Wall Street Journal covering the acquisition. Heaven Hills or other spirits major players seem to keep buying brands. Only the major ones make it to WSJ https://www.wsj.com/articles/heaven-hill-brands-buys-deep-eddy-vodka-1440107007

2. Spirit business has the imp sector links here. The brand hitting one million case sales. I did a little bit of digging here - in the spirits industry, one million is usually an important landmark. It is when (within the industry), your brand comes in the big league. With deep eddy, the "focus" has also been on their growth. Second link is an award.

https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2017/03/deep-eddy-vodka-hits-1m-case-sales/

https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2017/06/vodka-brand-champion-2017/

3. The third one I think highlights their importance locally to Texas or Austin in particular. If one Google's "Deep Eddy Buda distillery", it got significant coverage https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2016/09/21/deep-eddy-vodkato-leave-dripping-springs-lured-by.html

Owing to the above, I feel WP:GNG and WP:AUD is met.

-- CBcleaner (talk) 18:34, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge & Redirect : I now no longer hold doubts, that "Deep Eddy Vodka" is probably a notable part of "Heaven Hill", and thus:

- "Deep Eddy Vodka" should be merged into Heaven_Hill, and

- A redirect from Deep Eddy Vodka to Heaven_Hill should be made.

Ironically, one of User:CBcleaner's references, namely: https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2017/06/vodka-brand-champion-2017/ , actually helped remove my doubts, by the US-Vodka-market table it includes: There are 39 brands included, and Deep Eddy Vodka shares bottom placement with 3 other brands (at 1.00 for 2016, which is the most recent year included there). That Deep Eddy Vodka can present high grown rate, isn't impressive: Anything can display high growth rates, when starting from a point of obscurity.

-- DexterPointy (talk) 14:22, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect This seems like the best approach. Surprised it hasn't come up before, but Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Deep_Eddy_Vodka_Distillery closed as delete only last month. The coverage is routine and in specialised magazines. We do not, and should not, aim to be a product listing service. SmartSE (talk) 16:47, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Smartse: (semi-off-topic) : Is there anyway to find out who created & edited the deleted Deep_Eddy_Vodka_Distillery article? (Note! I'm not an experienced Wikipedian, so if you don't known why I'm asking, then it's most likely because I've failed pinging you, some hours ago.) -- DexterPointy (talk) 17:20, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - to support my argument, I have outlined a couple of points here

1. I think there is an inconsistency in the way we are judging pages. Have a look at the page titled List of Vodkas. Ignoring the pages that have got flagged, we have several small brands where the pages have been reviewed and made stable by new page reviewers and admins. Is notability different for different brands in the same category? I'm not saying one wrong decision means we accept all but as a community, there should be consistency.

2. Second thing that concerns is that most people here have little knowledge of the spirits business. I have worked in the sector (though no where connected to Deep Eddy or any related party). Reaching 1 million cases is an achievement in this sector. The specialised magazines are major sector coverages. It's like how tech related news is more detailed in tech magazines or publications or journals. San Francisco World Spirits Competition is the second most prestigious one in the sector after International Wines and Spirits.

3. Local references are strong. Apart from Tito's, this is the only major Texas brand. Merging with Heaven Hills takes away the local focus which the brand has sustained before being bought out.

Strong Keep Subject is notable by WP:GNG has anyone who wanted this page merged even bothered doing some researched if you did you would note that this brand has countless articles written about them only 30+ were used for citations and that more than enough for this article to stand alone. There simply no need to be merged with Heaven Hill. I also want to point out that besides the quantity of coverage is great the quality of coverage is also great and consists of major media outlets that are not connected to and don't usually run stories about brands of alcohol.Nottoohackneyed (talk) 16:50, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Some thoughts

- Respectfully, I disagree with some of the comments posted here. Given the fact, that most people are now commenting either merge or keep, I suppose everyone agrees to some degree of notability.

- A merge is usually done with the subject is not independent enough to stand on its own. Deep Eddy has a lot of coverage independent of Heaven Hill. The awards Deep Eddy Vodka has won are independent of Heaven Hill. A merge will not do justice to all the independent coverage it has

- Take an example of any liquor brand. When you google any name (I tried googling grey goose), the first 15 links are not news articles. They are all places to buy it from or events and random videos. I think that is the nature of this industry. The ranking of the selling websites is high. It doesn't and should not affect our judgement on notability. Fightforsocialjustice (talk) 20:46, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Commentary - Commenting on some of the most recent contributions in this AfD.
- "there is an inconsistency in the way we are judging pages." : Wikipedia is, for various reason, a huge pile of inconsistencies. To strive for consistency, is a noble quest, but not a practical/usable argument, because: There is no consistency in the collective set of article, and no consistency amongst Wikipedians about what the consistency should be.
- "...concerns is that most people here have little knowledge of the spirits business.", and "San Francisco World Spirits Competition is the second most prestigious one in the sector after International Wines and Spirits." : From what I can tell, then the SF competition's outcomes looks like most Wine & Spirits competitions, in that about half of all participants end up getting a medal. (I only did a quick very rough estimate, so don't go quote me for saying 50%). Also, it was half a decade ago, since Deep Eddy won anything in the SF World Spirits competition.
- "... When you google any name (I tried googling grey goose), the first 15 links are not news articles. ..." : I don't see anyone having attempted to make a Google search into an argument, but just to prevent that from happening, then I'd like to note that: Googling something will nearly always return results, whenever that something actually exist, but that doesn't tell any tale about notability. (If I google my phone number, then I find it listed on various directory sites, i.e. it's mentioned "a lot" on the web. Yet, I don't think my phone number deserves a Wikipedia article.)
DexterPointy (talk) 00:56, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - A merge would categorise deep eddy as one of the 20-30 odd brands listed on the Heaven Hill page. Deep Eddy doesn't fall in the same category or is definitely more notable than those. Most of the recent coverages for Deep Eddy are not related to the parent company. I don't agree with the merge votes. Independent notability is certainly established.

Keep - I have been looking at the article for some time now, including the edit history. I must say that the article has tremendously evolved from how it was originally posted, which I believe was the initial reason it was scheduled for deletion. Reliable and strong references have been added. Based on my own research, I believe Deep Eddy Vodka is fast rising the ranks to become one of the world's most popular Vodka brands. I believe notability separate from the parent company exists in every coverage, and its popularity might keep rising making it even more distinct from the parent company in future. I don't agree with the rationale to merge. Give the article a chance.Coolsam726 (talk) 00:42, 27 February 2018 (UTC) — Coolsam726 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete, SALT, and ban all keep !voters This article is ad copy and for good reason: look at the sources. They're all bought-journalism. For example, there are citations from Austin American-Statesman which might confuse some editors to think there's notability but look at this piece: "Deep Eddy Vodka, champions of easygoing summer sipping, have released a new vodka to their portfolio... Deep Eddy’s PR firm dropped off a sample for me to try. I was surprised by how much the aroma resembled that of a bottled grapefruit soda." (emphasis mine). How about this gem from Houston Chronicle: "Let's begin with the fast-growing Deep Eddy brand, which started with a straight vodka and added Lemon, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Cranberry and Sweet Tea flavors to its lineup." It's a literal mixology recipe. Many of the other citations (this, this, this, this, and this) gush about the corporate shake-up, and are evidently re-published press release from the lips of Eric Dopkins. This is what you get for putting your trust in the corporate media, whom shill for businesses and don't even admit they never learned how to be journalists. I also recommend every !keep voter be blocked for perpetrating this fraud on Wikipedia. There seem to be plenty of infringements of WP:CIR in this AfD, as almost nobody bothered to read the sources.

Delete - it's just one of 45 brands listed on the Heaven Hill page, I'm not sure that any of those are notable. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 03:36, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep - A few points to support my vote - this brand has hit one million cases which is actually not a common place event. If you are from texas, you know this brand. I agree on the Austin American Statesman article point that the previous editor raised and I will edit it out but that is not the article that justifies notability. Wall Street Journal, Kentucky.com are definitely credible publications. Heaven Hills, a Kentucky based brand owns over 30 brands. Only 3 made it to Wall Street Journal or Kentucky.com. The other two have Wikipedia pages.

One other thing I have to say, the anger in this discussion would prevent anyone from commenting in support of the debate. The whole idea here is to have a healthy discussion. If someone is violating Wikipedia policies, then surely ban them but I don't think the strong language used here is healthy for a community. Godzilladude123 (talk) 07:16, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I went through the sources and could not find any significant independent coverage of this young man. All of the competitions mentioned are junior/youth events. The last competition I could find him mentioned in was 2016 and records show he was 17 at the time. Sailracer [9] shows his finishes in world boys events as 118th and 119th, hardly notable, and with no events since 2016. This site [10] shows him as finishing 48th in the 2015 Optimist world championship under-18 division. No significant coverage and nothing to show he's competed at the highest level of his sport as WP:NSPORT requires. No evidence is given that he is closely related to the In der Maur family, but even if he is that's not grounds for notability (see WP:NOTINHERITED). However, if he is closely related that does give a possible target for a redirect. Papaursa (talk) 00:58, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No links to the page occur "organically" in article text—only in "see also" lists and in a template created by a user blocked for disrupting physics articles.

Keep additional references have been added. Ottawa Bureau Chief for Postmedia and HuffPo is notable. Nixon Now (talk) 05:13, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody can reference it better than this. The references are a press release from the Huffington Post on a press release distribution platform, the primary source directory of her own writing for the Huffington Post, an "our contributors" blurb on the website of a TV show she's a contributor to, and a Q&A interview on a blog — which means that exactly none of them represent media coverage about her in reliable sources that are independent of her, because the ones that are reliable aren't independent of her and the one that's independent of her isn't reliable. A person does not get a Wikipedia article by having "coverage" from her own employers in staff profiles and press releases, or by getting interviewed by bloggers — she has to be the subject of reliable source coverage in real media other than her own employers to clear WP:GNG, and no journalist (no, not even Rosemary Barton) can ever make any notability claim at all that "inherently" exempts her from having to have that reliable source coverage just because her own employers' websites technically verify that she exists. Regardless of what a journalist's notability claim is, it's not the making of the claim that gets her over WP:JOURNALIST, but the quality of the sourcing that can be provided to support the claim — but blogs and staff "coverage" from her own employers don't cut it. Bearcat (talk) 18:00, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- By this argument all stubs should be deleted because they are not extensively sourced. The question is not whether sourcing is extensive but whether it is sufficient to establish who she is and what jobs she's held. It is. Then does the fact that she has been the Ottawa Bureau Chief (ie chief political correspondent) of several major news organizations make her notable? Are the positions notable? If yes then the article should remain even if sourcing is rudimentary or at stub level.Nixon Now (talk) 13:48, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, people are not kept just because their own primary source profiles on the websites of their own employers verify that they exist. It's a core principle of GNG that a GNG pass is based on the existence of appropriate and substantive and GNG-passing reliable sources, not on their all necessarily being in the article already, so that doesn't automatically translate into a blanket "delete all stubs" rule — one has to check whether better sourcing is available or not before deeming a stub to be deletable. But if somebody questions such a stub, then it's not enough to just theorize that maybe better GNG-worthy sources might eventually start existing — GNG-worthy sources have to be shown to exist before "GNG is based on the existence of appropriate sources, not the state of sourcing present in the article right now" becomes a valid reason to keep — and it's not enough that her own primary source web presence on the websites of her own employers nominally verifies the fact that she exists. She has to be demonstrably, not just theoretically, the subject of reliable source coverage in sources other than her own employers before a Wikipedia article becomes appropriate.

- The article doesn't need to be a critical biography, it can be a stub. Sources are sufficient to establish who she is and what jobs she's held.

If so, then the article has merit.Nixon Now (talk) 13:40, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No job that any person can hold is so "inherently" notable that the article would be automatically kept just because her own primary source profiles on the websites of her own employers verify that she exists. To be notable for this, independent reliable sources have to be writing their own editorial content about her and her work — even a stub still has to have some evidence of reliable source coverage about her, not just her own primary source presence on the websites of her own employers, before it can be kept. Bearcat (talk) 15:52, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Informed political commentator who appears frequently on TV. A clear thinker and good communicator. -- Quist (talk) 13:22, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We do not keep a inadequately sourced article just because of editors' opinions about the subject's communication skills. Our notability standards for journalists are based on being able to properly source the subject as having attained certain specific, quantifiable accomplishments, not on people's subjective opinions about whether they're good at their jobs or not — every single person who exists at all could always find somebody who thinks they're good at their job, so if somebody saying that were all it took to get an article kept we'd have to keep an article about every single person who exists at all and then we'd just be LinkedIn. And conversely, everybody who exists at all could also always find somebody else who dislikes them and thinks they're bad at their jobs and should therefore be deleted. So it's reliable source coverage about her that has to tell us whether she's notable enough or not, and individual people's opinions about the quality of her work carry no weight.

Keep Per WP:JOURNALIST, "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." Her work is regularly cited by other news organizations that she is independent from. Additionally, she passes WP:GNG for "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Lonehexagon (talk) 20:21, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What significant coverage in sources that are independent of her is being shown where, exactly? Even in the new sources that have been added since this was initiated, she's the subject in any non-trivial way of exactly one of them, while all of the others are still mere namechecks of her existence in coverage of other things. Those are not the kind of sources it takes to make a journalist notable. Bearcat (talk) 03:08, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete lacks an adequate level of independent, in depth coverage. In addition, far too many of the article sources are produced by someone she is associated with (e.g. HuffPo), which is the same thing-- non-independent.104.163.148.25 (talk) 00:28, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The references include several reliable secondary sources.--Ipigott (talk) 11:23, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

None of those reliable secondary sources are about her, but all just namecheck her existence within coverage of other things. Every single source here that's about her to the degree needed to count for a bean toward demonstrating her notability is non-independent "coverage" from her own employers. Bearcat (talk) 16:39, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not every single source: 'You're lying,' Huffington Post reporter says to senator about spending audit leak. Also, Samara, which posted an interview with her, is a charitable organization promoting civic engagement and an independent third party: HOW'D YOU GET THAT JOB? SAMARA INTERVIEWS ALTHIA RAJ, HUFFPO'S OTTAWA BUREAU CHIEF Raj is not an employee of Samara. Nixon Now (talk) 17:45, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Q&A interviews in which a person is talking about themselves do not assist in demonstrating notability, and "coverage" on the organizational blogs of charitable organizations does not assist notability. So no, Samara doesn't provide an ounce of help for two reasons. And as for that CBC article, it contains less than 100 words of editorial content by the CBC itself, and is otherwise just screenshots of a tweetstorm — so it doesn't count as a data point toward passage of GNG either, because people do not get to tweet themselves into self-published "notable because they tweet" status. Bearcat (talk) 18:26, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On the contrary, it shows notable enough to be interviewed by an independent non-partisan public policy organization such as Samara. There's certainly no reason why a feature interview (where by definition the subject is talking about themselves) would not be evidence of notability as long as the interview is conducted by an independent, credible third party. I see nothing in WP:Notability that excludes interviews as a source showing notability. Nixon Now (talk) 19:37, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn't. Notability can be demonstrated only by media outlets (not organizational blogs) writing about the subject in the third person, and can never be demonstrated by any source — regardless of provenance — in which the subject is talking about themselves in the first person. Bearcat (talk) 19:42, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Notability does not say say notability can be demonstrated "only by media outlets", but by "reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Samara fits the bill. Nixon Now (talk)

The very definition of a reliable source is that it's some form of media (e.g. a newspaper, a magazine, a radio or television newsgathering organization, a documentary film or a book), and not the self-published blog of an advocacy organization that isn't a media outlet. So no, Samara does not fit the bill. Bearcat (talk) 19:51, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You're confusing the term media referring to mass media and media referring to communication medium (ie audio, video, text etc). Nixon Now (talk) 19:54, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not confusing anything. In Wikipedia's notability criteria, "media" does not mean "any audio, video or text based evidence whatsoever, inclusive of blogs and Flickr photos and YouTube clips and primary sources", but "media outlets in the sense of newspapers and magazines and books". So I'm using "media" correctly, in terms of how "media" relates to "notability" on Wikipedia. Bearcat (talk) 20:02, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please indicate the source of this quote: "media outlets in the sense of newspapers and magazines and books". I cannot find that statement in either WP:NOTABILITY or WP:RS or anything approximating it (which is actually the point I've been making). Nixon Now (talk) 20:07, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:V includes an explicit and specific list of the types of sources we're looking for: academic journals, university-level textbooks, books published by respected publishing houses, magazines, journals, mainstream newspapers and radio or television content as long as it's verifiably archived somewhere. It also explicitly deprecates blogs, outside of content published in blog format by a media outlet that would still be a reliable source otherwise (e.g. Kady O'Malley's content on the CBC News website is not deprecated just because she "blogs" shorter pieces throughout the day rather than filing a single report on a big topic, because she's still doing it for, and still accountable to, the CBC.) Bearcat (talk) 20:27, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so can I conclude from the above that your quotation wasn't an actual quotation but just something you made up and put quotation marks around? In any case, WP:V deprecates blogs that are self-published sources, not blogs belonging to an institution. Nixon Now (talk) 20:34, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

People are allowed to summarize Wikipedia policy, and are not restricted to quoting it literally verbatim. My summary was 100 per cent correct about what "media" means in a Wikipedia notability context, and the fact that it was a summary of our reliable sourcing rules rather than a verbatim copy-paste of the entire policy document does not make that fact less true. And no, WP:BLOGS does not only deprecate individual Blogspot blogs, but does also deprecate group blogs — the only way a blog gets exempted from WP:BLOGS is if it's content published in a blog format by a newsgathering outlet that would still otherwise be an acceptable reliable source anyway (i.e. Kady O'Malley at the CBC) and therefore falls under the separate rule for WP:NEWSBLOGS. Bearcat (talk) 20:51, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Summarizing is one thing, fabricating a quotation is quite another. Nixon Now (talk) 21:06, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody fabricated any quotations. Bearcat (talk) 16:48, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You put "media outlets in the sense of newspapers and magazines and books" in quotation marks even though that statement wasn't a quote ie you fabricated a quotation even if you did not intend to. In future, do not use quotation marks unless you are actually quoting a source. Nixon Now (talk) 17:04, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Quotation marks do not only indicate a direct quotation from another source; they can also be used to simply encapsulate an entire phrase as representing a single concept, such as contrasting "X as in this definition over here" with "X as in that other definition over there". Bearcat (talk) 20:41, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jake Brockman: Each of these things, details about his family: "Taber attributes his steadfast adherence to this enthusiast mentality to his late teenage years, which he spent re-evaluating the games of his childhood with his younger brother. Once they depleted their considerable collection of Genesis games like Sonic the Hedgehog and Streets of Rage — Taber describes himself as “more of a Sega kid than anything” — the Tabers decided to browse eBay to check out the games they missed. “I remember thinking, ‘Well, what if there were other games that were even better?’ And that just fed into the hobby,” he recalls. He points to the oft-overlooked late Genesis cult classic Ristar as an ideal example of this sort of legwork paying off. “That set the precedent for me,” he says. “That’s when I first encountered the enthusiast community, reading about forgotten gems like Ristar. I joined those communities. I was hooked.”" where he went to school: "Once the boxes piled up enough, Taber was selling more than he was buying, and making a fair bit of change at it. It was only then, in college in Montana, that he realized the commercial viability of his hobby. Eventually, he took the plunge, opening a small online storefront. But it was when he started futzing with the electronic components inside his prized plastic that he started to make a name for himself." are included in the Polygon article, the article is literally written about him.

Keep (per WP:POLITICIAN) as he was a National level civil servant for seven years, served as the Secretary for the Ministry of Education and deputy secretary for the Ministry of Science and Technology in Bangladesh. The article is unduly weighted to the fact he then went into the private sector to run large companies and universities. It could use some improvements. Prince of Thieves (talk) 13:51, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, have removed peacocky words from the article which has way too much details, the majority of it unsourced, so a lot more work needs to be done (probably remove at least half), agree with Prince of Thieves that Mazumder should be a ~~keep~~ as having held senior government positions, although some more citations to these would be nice. Coolabahapple (talk) 20:04, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete you have to be the head of a ministry to make you notable default for that position. Maybe if you are a top ranking deputy minister. However the secretary of a ministry is not a notable politician, but a background functionary. So there is no default notability there. The sourcing is wweak and does not show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:26, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In my view the posts are roughly equal to United States Deputy Secretary of Energy and United States Deputy Secretary of Education. If that does not meet WP:POLITICIAN #1 - "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature." Then this would have to be a delete for lack of sources and WP:PROMO issues. Prince of Thieves (talk) 10:14, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A Deputy Secretary post would equal either deputy minister or State Minister. United States Deputy Secretary of Energy is a political appointment while he is a career bureaucrat.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 16:40, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So how do you define a bureaucrat from a politician? Prince of Thieves (talk) 16:59, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As a bureaucrat (civil service officer) he would have joined the Bangladesh Civil Service as an officer after an entrance examination. He would reach the rank of secretary through promotions and after years of working in the civil service. A politician (minister/State Minister) is appointed by the Prime Minister, the Head of government, to oversee the ministry.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 17:41, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Finally found one article from Apple Daily for the company [12].

(the newspaper was not bad as a citation for routine fact BTW). The article itself was about the website and the founder's (鄭維章) new website zh:享樂團購網, as well as his start-up experience.

Delete. Every local politician on earth would always pass WP:GNG if all we had to show was "some local media coverage exists", but every local politician on earth is not deemed to automatically pass WP:NPOL just for existing — so RAN is wrong, politicians at this level do have to show a credible claim of being more notable than most other mayors and municipal councillors and school board trustees could also show. But that's not what's being shown here at all — the only discernible notability claim here is "some local media coverage exists", which isn't enough for politicians at the local level of government: there has to be enough media coverage (in either volume or geographic range or both) to show that he has a credible claim to being more notable than most other people who hold the same role elsewhere without getting a Wikipedia article for it.

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 13:22, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete good example of WP:TOOSOON and it looks like he may never reach the professional level. Can always be recreated if he ever does. Rockypedia (talk) 15:35, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 12:28, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify good information here that could placed in a future article if he plays for Bethlehem Steel FC. Quidster4040 (talk) 17:36, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Genderqueer. History remains undeleted; selective merge to be done at the discretion of any participating editor. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 15:16, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Enbian[edit]

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

This neologism is only sourced to Tumblr, and I don't find any reliable references. I don't know whether it's a plausible redirect term or not. power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:35, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for opening the discussion! A big problem today is that a lot of discussion of marginalized groups happens in closed groups in social media platforms etc. The term enbian is indeed very very young, however it is spreading quite rapidly in nonbinary groups on social media, where people have long been looking for a term similar to gay or lesbian to describe love between nonbinary people. I would argue that this term will become quite significant and widely known in nonbinary communities in around a year, currently it is just starting to spread. I have split opinion regarding deletion: Indeed the term is not yet widely known, however in my opinion it is a term that is unlikely to have competition to become the primary term to refer to something that like gay and lesbian is in strong need of a term. for it to become widely known, a Wikipedia entry is helpful since for many it is the first place to look for information, maybe even when searching from other articles on orientation etc. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of course, and not about primary information, so thats why i have split opinion. Maybe i can ask in some nonbinary groups if there are bloggers who are using the term.--Mangostaniko (talk) 11:56, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete look even if there was a reliable source, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, it is simply a word for a concept that already has more than one article, but the topic is best covered at Genderqueer. If it is not yet widely used outside the LGBT community, then it may be better placed at LGBT slang. Either way, I can't see how we can support a whole article for a simple definition of an existing topic. Prince of Thieves (talk) 14:05, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(in case it wasn't clear) I am suggesting this article is deleted, but pointing out the content can be written into either the Genderqueer or LGBT slang articles, depending on which is the best fit. It could be considered that this page is made into a redirect to an ((anchor)) on either page. Prince of Thieves (talk) 14:09, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete agree that it wouldn't be appropriate here even if it were sourced, as it's just a word, and would do fine as a dictionary entry. Not even close. Rockypedia (talk) 15:33, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to LGBT slang or possibly Genderqueer. It's definitely a word in use, but the sources are basically all primary and none secondary; i.e., the lexicographers haven't caught up with it yet. XOR'easter (talk) 15:58, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect if redirect to a section in Genderqueer is possible, i would be in favor of that. Mangostaniko (talk) 17:36, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to a section in Genderqueer, per talk's argument. I will also point out that we do have quite a large article for the word that describes a relationship between two heterosexual people: Marriage --Theredproject (talk) 17:09, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Marriage is tied up with all sorts of legality, ceremony and tradition that make it a thing onto itself, and anyway, an Enbian couple could get married too, it's not specific to heterosexual people. Maybe in 20 years this will have a long article and lots of sources, but right now it is fledgling term for a developing concept, that is already covered in other articles. Prince of Thieves (talk) 18:09, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Genderqueer, agree with the redirect folks' rationale but merely redirecting will not be helpful as there is no description of the term there. --J04n(talk page) 13:21, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
