This is a list of random people with "Greg" in their name. If this doesn't fail WP:INDISCRIMINATE it is hard to understand what does. Jytdog (talk) 21:54, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

and everything else needs to be deleted. Correct? If folks agree, I will withdraw this.Jytdog (talk) 01:12, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • If there were non-people named Greg, I'd say that would have been possible, but I'm stunned to discover I couldn't find anything, not a village, a book, a film, anything (unlike Gregg, for some bizarre reason), so the given name is the primary topic. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:06, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for not understanding you. So are you saying keep this and remove all the entries but those three I listed? Delete this whole thing? Leave it as it is? (i hope not the latter...) Something else? Jytdog (talk) 04:17, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]


I went looking in the archives to see discussion. There is:
There was a bunch of discussion on the talk page in Sept 2014, now in archive 42 but this Herb (given name) thing was not discussed there.
I feel a lot like people did back in the 2005 pseudo-RFC, who were aghast that we would have pages listing a bunch of random people named Greg. how did we get here?? Jytdog (talk) 01:12, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is just making things up, and has nothing to do with policies or guidelines or what we do here. Jytdog (talk) 07:17, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
MOS:DABNAME and Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy/Standards are "making things up"? —Xezbeth (talk) 07:24, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's entirely different than what you wrote the first time. Thanks for providing a meaningful rationale.
So Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy/Standards has a section called WP:NNAME that says A name article usually contains either a list of entries that link to other articles or a wikilink to a list article. If at least two articles matching the surname or given name of the subject of a name article do not exist, then the surname or given name list article would not be notable and should not be created. A properly sourced article about a name may still be notable without a list.. That is probably the lamest N standard that I have read anywhere in WP. It directly contradicts INDISCRIMINATE and invites dumping grounds like this page is currently. What the hell is going on here? Jytdog (talk) 08:11, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There are a few issues with this one though. There's a lot of Gregs currently listed at Gregory (given name). There are around ~2000 notable Gregs with articles that could/should(?) be listed. There is also some past precedent for deleting lists of extremely common given names such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people named John. I think there are some more recent examples too but I can't recall any off hand. —Xezbeth (talk) 08:25, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Now I remember, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people named Jacob. The argument for deleting is sound, but the end result is Jacob (name), which is a short, unhelpful article that gets a disproportionate amount of views from people who are almost certainly looking for a name list. —Xezbeth (talk) 08:32, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So now we have this awkward situation, where lists are kept or deleted based on a seemingly arbitrary and hazy length cutoff. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:07, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article is completely composed of WP:INUNIVERSE plot information, and a book search didn't turn up much in the way of actual notability.

Delete. I concur. Article still fails WP:GNG and lack of substantial coverage in news, books, etc.Knox490 (talk) 20:24, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets notability through his work, books and political 527 organisation. This page has been nominated on the grounds of ‘lack of improvement’ which is patently incorrect as a considerable amount of work has gone into adding cites and information since 2012, most pertinently the 4 further books (published by independent publishers) he has written in those years and the political organisation he runs, all properly cited (and incidentally might I remind that there is no requirement that any coverage has to be ‘exclusive’, exclusive isn’t mentioned on WP:GNG). The Party of Reason and Progress alone has The Raw Story, Vocativ and Motherboard. His various books have been recommended on CNN, CBC and Salon as well as the prominent sites in the field like Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science, and if you have the time to read the cites he is clearly a notable atheist in the field, I’ve read them because I improved the page, took care to make the page NPOV and remove anything i suspected of being puffery.

As Raymond has also brought up the previous AfD i’d also like to point out that of the five voters in that AfD only two of them haven’t been banned indefinitely for sockpuppetry and both of them voted to keep (I don’t count the IP with a single contribution, to the AfD.) Mramoeba (talk) 21:50, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Still no improvement. Subject is just non-notable and article is a self-promotion. Talking about blocks of other editors who participated in previous AFD doesn't make non-notable individual a notable individual. Capitals00 (talk) 17:51, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I didn’t bring up the previous AfD, I am responding to another editor. What makes this individual notable is the coverage I brought up in my vote, the seven citations i listed above. Simply gainsaying the vote of every editor who votes differently from you isn’t adding to what is supposed to be a reasoned debate. Mramoeba (talk) 18:18, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I’m sorry but you can’t persist in accusing people of being McAfee, particularly since both Epicurus and Skepticalraptor have already pointed out they are not. For the record neither am I. Stop being disruptive. I get you don’t like McAfee because he doesn’t believe in god but he’s not ‘using Wikipedia’. Mramoeba (talk) 09:48, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Google the title of his books instead of his name - they've been very widely discussed within the atheist community and have been cited in Salon and CNN and other articles. The article as it stands does a terrible job of demonstrating this and needs a little more self-confidence, which is why I recommended WP:TNT. I'd also like to note several of the delete votes in this topic are from users who based on their user page may not have a neutral point of view on the topic of atheism.

How come this is your first AfD in last 5 months? Passing mentions don't really establish notability. Issues are same as they were during Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David G. McAfee. Raymond3023 (talk) 09:34, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I saw notice of this AfD on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism page. I did some work on this article back in 2013, so I wanted to weigh in.
Few articles on patheos.com (unreliable source) doesn't count as notability. So far that's all he has got. There is a lack of exclusive coverage which makes him non-notable. Raymond3023 (talk) 08:33, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Check out the references section. He's being cited by the likes of the Washington Post and CNN. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 09:15, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
CNN and WashingtonPost makes slightly more than a passing mention,[3]https://edition.cnn.com/2013/11/22/living/matrimony-atheist-wedding] now whether it is enough for making a stand alone biographical article is yet to be clarified. Raymond3023 (talk) 10:06, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Repeated creation of articles about non-notable subject does result in salting. All I see is spam of patheos.com and "keep" votes from accounts that haven't participated in an AfD for a very long time (WP:CANVASSING) and they talking about everything except the notability issues of this subject including you. You don't have to show your own "ugly bias" by badgering delete votes based on your beliefs. Focus on subject only. Raymond3023 (talk) 08:33, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
1. So it is an ugly bias to point out possible bias? Nice attempt to deflect. What's my ugly bias in thinking this article deserves to be on Wikipedia? Not going to even get into the "badgering" dig, as one vote and a comment can only be construed as badgering by someone not understanding the word. 2. Again, perhaps a problem with understanding a word: there is no way that a second version over 6 years later with significant additions could reasonably be construed as "repeated". That "policy" is clearly designed for someone quickly bouncing an article back that went through AfD. 3. How often one participates in AfD discussions is a ridiculous criteria for considering their opinions. As was mentioned, if that were the case, a small group of dedicated people could control the process entirely. Seems to me by what I generally see in AfD records is that is exactly what often seems to happen. Perhaps in fact, editors should be prohibited from voting in AfDs too often! 4. And most importantly, you claimed I was "talking about everything except the notability issues of this subject" when in fact, my main point was that holding the subject to WP:AUTHOR is an improper use of notability rules, and several did that... and you conveniently did not address that at all. RobP (talk) 11:42, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Can you explain how regularly participating in AfDs (presumably just adding "me too" !votes to keep the numbers up) is a prerequisite for ever participating? You cannot know how often people read the discussion and find that others have already raised the points they want to make, so keep quiet. Your argument leads to a closed coterie of permitted AfD regulars dictating to those interested in the subject under discussion.Martin of Sheffield (talk)

I have done extensive research on the topic of atheism. I follow Google news on the topic of atheism. I have a couple of friends who write about atheism and current events.

I agree that I don't think Wikipedia should be the platform to help anyone become notable, when they are not. However, a personal anecdote concerning your (or your friends) level of knowledge of someone is not a fit argument for notability on Wikipedia. If that were a valid argument, I could urge delete for a huge percent of the millions of article in this encyclopedia. Including bios. Many with many less sources than this one.

Christopher O'Neill[edit]

Christopher O'Neill (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)

The article defines Christopher O'Neill as a British financier and husband of Princess Madeleine of Sweden. Christopher O'Neill is not, however, notable as a British financier. The article about him exists since he married a Swedish princess, despite his clearly stated wishes to remain a private citizen. The article itself reports that. It has been emphasized by the Swedish royal court that O'Neill, unlike the spouses of his wife's siblings, is not a member of the royal family. Unlike them, he does no royal/state business whatsoever and holds no title. The official website of the Swedish monarchy does not have an entry for him.

A quick look at the content of the article is enough to establish that Christopher O'Neill is a person who is out of the spotlight and who is not independently notable. There is only sentence in the entire article which is neither basic personal info (place of birth, education, etc) nor family info (parents, stepcousins, wife, children). It says: "He was a Partner and Head of Research at Noster Capital and former employee of NM Rothschild and Sons and Steinberg Asset Management." The source is the Swedish royal court, however, meaning not independent coverage. O'Neill is not notable as a professional. The article exists because he is someone's husband, even though he does not do anything noteworthy as a husband. Surtsicna (talk) 18:12, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Surtsicna: are you suggesting that the subject has requested that this article be deleted? Dom from Paris (talk) 08:56, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No. He has, however, requested privacy and no role as a princess's husband - yet this article exists solely because of his marital status. That is contrary to the sentiment expressed by himself and the royal court. Surtsicna (talk) 09:37, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Being a private citizen means not being a member of the royal family and is very different from wanting privacy which is your basis for deletion of this article. When someone marries a high profile person the limelight is turned on them. If there is sufficient in depth independent coverage of them then notability is met. It is pointless to argue that they would prefer this article not to exist. Dom from Paris (talk) 07:43, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Have you read the discussion. I have mentioned and debated the sources above. Do you think people would have !voted Speedy Keep without the sources showing notability. I have mentioned the sources in my rationale. The sources are reliable and shows notability per confirmation of what is stated in the article. I think @Marbe166: can confirm that as well. BabbaQ (talk) 08:42, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not really, all you said was that they were royal court sources. Are these really enough to pass GNG as in depth coverage in secondary sources? Dom from Paris (talk) 08:53, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
To my mind there seems to be 3 sources that meet the requirements, NRK and the 2 SvD articles. Admittedly from what I can gather they are about his role as husband of the princess but they are in depth and in secondary sources. I would have expected the discussion to talk more about these sources than just !voting speedy on presumption of notability. Dom from Paris (talk) 09:16, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying he doesn't meet GNG but can you tell us which sources show this? Dom from Paris (talk) 23:11, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Chris O'Neill" or "Christopher O'Neill" give roughly 9000 hits in Swedish newspaper archives, so wading through all the trivial mentions takes a while, but This article in Svenska Dagbladet (one of the dominating and most respected daily newspapers in Sweden) is an in-depth article focusing on O'Neill, for example. "Blivande make med låg profil" in Dagens Industri (available through Mediearkivet, requires subscription) another. Additionally, we have for example a couple of articles in Veckans Affärer focusing on his business practices: En aktivist i kungafamiljen, "Inte inblandad i svenska företag" for non-trivial coverage of his work. /Julle (talk) 00:06, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that. As I said when reverting the redirect a few months ago the arguments that he must be notable because he is married to a princess doesn't follow policy. There is no inherited notability. The multitude of passing mentions and court documents are not enough. In depth coverage in independent reliable sources must be found... I even pointed to 3 that are already there but as I do not understand them I cannot comment. The nom and various keep !voters do not address the quality and coverage of the existing sources and are getting bogged down with whether he a "Royal" or a "royal person"... this discussion is going nowhere fast. We just need a couple of valid sources and a keep !vote that points to them to put this to bed. Dom from Paris (talk) 06:36, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So you ask Julle for his opinion. He answers and gives a good rationale for his opinion. You dismiss it completely and states that the discussion is going nowhere. Its going nowhere for a reason, let the AfD run its course because I think the closing admin will see this in clear light.BabbaQ (talk) 07:41, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nope you misunderstood me, I am saying his is the first policy based !vote and I am congratulating him!!! Dom from Paris (talk) 07:48, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Exactly my point. He is not Royal but he is a Royal person per work and appearances. Thank you for that input Julls.BabbaQ (talk) 15:06, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS Just because there are articles about people in the same position as him doesn't mean he meets notabilty requirements himself and as per the additional criteria that you have cited from WP:ANYBIO it specifically says " meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included". They are pointers to whether the sources to show notability exist or not. Dom from Paris (talk) 14:19, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You misunderstand. OSE is irrelevant here. The reason they have articles is because it is common sense for them to have articles. You cannot with all seriousness claim that spouses of princes and princesses of ruling houses are not notable people. Surely only someone with some sort of republican agenda could possibly claim that. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:24, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Necrothesp: I object to that totally unfounded ad hominem comment. You know nothing about me but as you seem to be interested in me and not what I have said just for your information I am a royalist and am proud to be a subject of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and also able to say that I can trace my family back with no difficulty whatsoever to the 11th century, my family tree also counts Charles II as a member. The pages you talk about may have been created because they are married to members of a royal family but notability is not inherited, try reading WP:INVALIDBIO that should help you understand my argument. Dom from Paris (talk) 15:39, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Domdeparis: Please reread what I actually wrote. I certainly did not accuse you of having a republican agenda. I made no ad hominem comment (although I certainly apologise if you thought I did). I merely opined that someone who claimed in all seriousness that spouses of princes and princesses of ruling houses are not notable must have such an agenda to make such a comment, since it is obvious that no such person would have a lack of sourcing and they are notable because of their position, just as members of legislatures and senior judges and senior military officers are. Some things just come under the category of common sense and do not need to be spelled out. I know you did not say that; I saw your comment below. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:09, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable concert tour. Fails WP:NCONCERT. Polyamorph (talk) 20:07, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re: It is notable because it is an international tour, In 3 countries and 2 continents and is played by cupcakke, which is already notable with her own wikipedia page and a wikipedia page for the album she is promoting. User:Jusipher (talk) 20:10, 19 April 2018

Just because the artist has a wikipedia page, does not automatically make the music she produces (i.e. all those song articles you are creating) and her tour notable enough for inclusion as a separate article. Where is the significant coverage? Certainly not in the sources provided in the article. Please read WP:NCONCERT. Polyamorph (talk) 20:25, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the tour doesn't have significant coverage, the songs most definitely are notable, they have sources from several news sources, such as Stereogum, The Fader, Genius (website), Spin (magazine), Noisey, Pitchfork (website), HotNewHipHop, Tiny Mix Tapes and MTV.

Delete - Almost no coverage of the tour in independent reliable sources (except merely to say that the tour is coming or has happened). The Affinity magazine source comes the closest, but I can't find other reviews of the tour. As such, I don't think the tour meets WP:NCONCERT at this time. Per the conversation above, just noting that this doesn't mean the artist, album, and songs can't all be notable. Just that there may not be sufficient coverage of this tour to establish notability.

@Coolabahapple: Actually, not quite.

However, once a discussion is under way it may as well be allowed to finish. Breaking sticks (talk) 22:00, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, the sockpuppet was the one that was technically correct. The article was PROD'd unsuccessfully once before, so Sir Sputnik's PROD tag was the second time a PROD tag was added to the article, making it ineligible. The technically correct procedure would have been for Sir Sputnik to have nominated it to AfD from the start. Mz7 (talk) 03:34, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Run of the mill software company that fails WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH. There are no real indications of why Impartner is distinctly notable amoung software-as-service companies, nor are their sufficient sources that delve into the workings of the company. Coverage exists, mostly in relation to the company's growth in 2016-17, but this in itself is not strictly notable and is not uncommon for new companies (Impartner was founded in 2015) that survive their first year. The awards won by the company are also seemingly non-notable. SamHolt6 (talk) 14:15, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One idea on notability of tall chimneys: List of tallest chimneys gives 578 chimneys, 492 of which are taller than 150 m. The range is 420 - 125 m. Very roughly 40% of them have associated articles, but these are usually for the factory, plant, or generating station, not for the chimney itself. By this very rough indicator - it doesn't look like the chimney is notable. Smallbones(smalltalk) 21:06, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dom from Paris, I found another one http://grimecentral.co.uk/2017/11/gang-shit-records-racks-up-the-nominations/
From reading the article it seems that some artists have been nominated for notable awards in the British rap scene known as the MOBO and Rated Awards, also its Distributor is set as Atlantic which may add extra notability. However it has a lot of secondary sources but currently not a lot of primary sources, also a lot of info is not backed.

Hmm, investigating further gives some sources, which I'd still say less than, notability (there's some coverage of their buying of Nipton and some analysis, but they generally aren't too indepth on the company and repeat similar things); but anyhow still delete on WP:NOTPROMO and WP:TNT, either way; judging by copyvio detector this article is largely a mish mash of sentences copied from press releases (@YeahImaBoss: don't copy from press releases or any other website) and needs to be mostly removed on copyvio grounds Galobtter (pingó mió) 10:25, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK so the subject has an entry on FA and DE WP's but I'm not sure about the N criteria there but here on EN, apparently the subject clearly fails to meet relevant notability guidelines WP:AUTHOR and even basic GNG. The subject has received some trivial mention in independent RS but I am unable to locate in-depth coverage about the subject, unfortunately. I suspect some of the cited sources are not even reliable enough. The subject has also received some insignificant non-notable awards. Saqib (talk) 07:38, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Main claim of credibility seems to be Linear Air. While notability cannot be inherited I am not sure that Linear Air itself is notable under WP:CORP. While he has received coverage in a number of private jet industry magazines, as well as at least one alumni magazine coverage, I would suggest none of these are WP:RS. He therefore does not meet GNG or any other standards for notability as I see it. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:21, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Page Curation handled that nomination improperly, it should have created a second page instead of adding to the old one. I'll investigate and probably file a task at Phabricator. Compassionate727 (T·C) 17:42, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Compassionate727: Definitely a fair question. An industry magazine can obviously be highly reliable or basically semi-paid for content. I will admit I didn't do a fully study of RS, as they are sources I'm not immediately familiar with, but instead relied on comments I'd read at the previous AfD (thanks for the bug report). Something which I hadn't discovered until now is that it appears despite the previous AfD being marked closed by Sandstein the page was never actually deleted. I will comment that the page as it exists today is not substantially different from the version which was deleted. If I had originally noticed this I might have tagged G4 (which is admittedly not a tag I'd seriously examined before in my relatively nascent NPP work). Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 20:49, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looking over said AfD, I'm not particularly impressed by what I saw. Two delete votes, one comment that leaned towards delete, and 1 keep. The only one who made arguments referring to policy was the keep, Silver seren. I'll take a look at the sources myself in a little bit, but I'm not particularly inclined to agree with the results of that AfD (I would have closed it as no consensus) or use it as precedent in this one.

While the nom questions whether Linear Air is notable (a statement made with only cursory research) given sources found by Daask I now agree that it is notable. However, not sure I follow moving this page there given that they are distinct topics. Sure move the Linear Air section and start the article from there. Best, Barkeep49 (talk)

The result was delete. Despite a superficially large number of references provided, most analysis of them done by participants leads to basically everything failing WP:ORGCRIT, a guideline specifically formulated to prevent establishing business notability primarily based on marketing materials and passing mentions. The sources available do not seem to currently establish sufficient notability based on in-depth independent coverage, that would allow a neutral encyclopedic article without original research. It appears that the informed consensus of uninvolved users supports deletion. ~ mazca talk 09:40, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sources that use their study, or quote them or interview them don't count as coverage as they're not looking into the company and writing about it independantly; the coverage needs to be about the company, its history and so on, so we can write about it. Forbes sites is as I said above not a permissible source. Galobtter (pingó mió) 19:27, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. *None* of those sources meet the criteria for establishing notability. Please read WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. HighKing++ 21:02, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. Why do the Techcrunch articles not count then? I read WP:CORPDEPTH and it seems to meet all of the criteria to be considered an independent source. Clearly, there is some gray area here considering that almost all businesses are quoted to some degree in articles and pieces of news around them. I checked the Wikipedia page of their competitors such as Greenhouse, Jobvite, Lever, and those seem to all have sources that have quotes too. Why aren't those pages being contested for deletion as well? Ajmehta21 (talk) 00:51, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Those article do not count because the *content* needs to be "intellectually independent*. Nobody has said that TechCrunch is not an independent source - it is. What is being said is that the criteria for establishing notability requires that the articles are intellectually independent. Take a read of WP:ORGIND. HighKing++ 14:51, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Did you read WP:ORGIND as well? In order to meet the criteria for establishing notability, the articles must pass the test of being "intellectually independent". This TechCrunch article is simply repeating messages provided by the company. You can tell because it uses phrases like "SmartRecruiters thinks...", "The team deflected when asked about IPO possibilites" as well as the quotes from the CEO and from their investors. Definitely not intellectually independent and fails WP:ORGIND. This TechCrunch reference fails for similar reasons since it uses data/information provided by the company and the article relies on quotations from the CEO. There is no "independent" opinion or analysis provided by the journalist whatsoever. If you feel other articles fail notability, you are free to nominate them for deletion.

Hi Deathlibrarian, I posted above why the Tech Crunch articles fails WP:ORGIND (they're not "intellectually independent" which is a requirement adopted in March/April 2018). The Forbes article fails WP:RS as it is essentially published without editorial oversight and are solely the opinions of the contributors (i.e. a Blog). Can you take another look and consider your !vote again? HighKing++ 15:49, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
HighKing- That may be true, However..... I've just run a search on Factiva and found 201 articles on there referring to or directly featuring this company, including at least 4 from Forbes, two from Wall Street Journal, and many others. I've added added some of them, but I can add more if its felt needed. Considering this, I'm leaving it at "keep". Deathlibrarian (talk) 07:32, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Great, but can you please provide references/links? Otherwise this argument is similar to WP:GHITS. It is not the volume of references but the quality. Volume can simply be indicative of a good PR department (which, btw, appears to me to be the case). HighKing++ 14:40, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Forgive me, I reformatted your references so that the appear with your comment - otherwise as more comments are added, they'd be disconnected. Also, no, neither of those references meet the criteria for establishing notability. The first reference can also be found here on the Cern website. Cern are a customer and therefore this reference is not "intellectually independent" and fails WP:ORGIND. The second reference can be accessed here. While I have no idea why you reference pages 13-24, the only mention (on page 19) states "These may include initiatives such as SmartRecruiters, iKrut, OpenCATS, Weebly and SoftGarden."

I'm against paid editing in Wikipedia and even more so against promotional and advertising. So, my opinion is offered with a sprinkling of self disgust at it. Still, N is N, while the quality of an article can always be improved. -The Gnome (talk) 08:35, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Response/Comment The Gnome, thank you for those references. But still, none meet the criteria for establishing notability. This Forbes article written by the VP and PA at Atherton Research fails WP:RS as it clearly states "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own" therefore not under editorial control and this type of article is regarded as a Blog post or equivalent. This next Forbes reference is a report *based* on "The number SmartRecruiters pulled" .... "all from the company's own job search platform". It does not "go on extensively" about the company - rather it goes on extensively about the data provided by the company. The article is not intellectually independent and does not provide an in-depth opinion on the company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. The announcement by the WSJ fails as it is "trivial coverage" WP:CORPDEPTH and it is based on company announcements/press releases fails WP:ORGIND. The criteria for references that meet the criteria for establishing notability is *different* than the criteria for citing references to support facts within an article. Most of the references you have mentioned would meet the requirements for supporting facts within an article but they fail the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 14:48, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm. My "keep" opinion just got weaker. -The Gnome (talk) 18:51, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment/Response I note that you don't bother to check for links to the articles you add. While it isn't mandatory it takes very little effort on your part and helps keep articles easy to read. Just because you use Factiva doesn't mean that a little search on Google won't turn up the article. For the convenience of everyone else here at this AfD, here are the references you added: 1. WSJ is a review of a number of different websites with SmartRecruiters mentioned at the end. This reference fails WP:CORPDEPTH as it provides no in-depth information on the company. 2. Forbes fails WP:ORGIND as it simply relies on a quotation from the founder/CEO and fails WP:CORPDEPTH as it provides no in-depth information on the company. 3. Forbes fails WP:ORGIND as the author "touched base with end-to-end talent acquisition platform SmartRecruiters" for "internal data" which the "company recently released" and the report is based on this data along with quotations from the CEO, is not intellectually independent. Also fails WP:CORPDEPTH as it is not an in-depth piece on the company. HighKing++ 14:48, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
HighKing I think there is no need to be narky about, *ahem* WP:CIVIL. As for the articles, I agree, you are correct. I've been through all the Factiva artciles, none of them really meet WP:CORPDEPTH. They are generally eiher quoting someone from Smartrecruiters, so are not independent, or they are not an indepth analysis of smartrecruiters, but instead discussing some data they have provided. Either that, or they don't qualify as WP:RS. So I will change my vote to delete. Deathlibrarian (talk) 07:29, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It would be close to the truth to admit that I was narky at having to chase down the references you found using Factiva and even narkier when I realised they clearly failed the criteria for establishing notability. Perhaps a little bit of "narkey" spilled over and I wondered why you were making the process extra difficult but it was not aimed at you personally. I'm completely narky-free today though and thank you for reviewing the Factiva references and thank you again for reviewing your previous !vote. HighKing++ 10:30, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Also for the rest of the AfD, if your logic is there, then many other awards pages which is linked to a specific channel needs deletion. e.g. 2018 Star Awards or 2016 SBS Drama Awards. Either Keep all or Link/Merge all or Delete all as Wikipedia must have consistency. So what is your stand??? --Quek157 (talk) 14:46, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • FURTHER Comment For different countries in Asia, it's different. In Hong Kong, the only terrestrial channel is TVB. And many people (no citation for this though) does watch only TVB as it is almost the only FTA. So since the majority only watch the channel and only that channel have that kind of exposure, it will be deemed as 100% of the nation. For Korea, yes, there are KBS, EBS, MBC, SBS but each have their own awards, (if you reference the Korean wiki, the entertainment awards are given their whole page also). For Singapore, my home country, we only have MediaCorp and Star Awards are the national award - even the Minister in charge of Communications will officiate. So my final criteria of notability that I can propose is that
1. If the terrestrial channel have significant share in the country and (EMPHASIS) the page is properly cited (i.e. with secondary reliable sources), we should Keep as per meeting WP:GNG. (or any other benchmark you can propose)
2. Implications of this approach: A lot of tedious admin work is needed and there will be so much trawling to be done, so it's hard...
Therefore, I would humbly propose that this entire Afd to be "no consensus" and keep and the nominator should go through each and every site in Asia for awards which are contentious and do a group Afd (meaning all the articles together). This will generate enough consensus (and ease the process for all of us to see) + this will allows trends to be seen plus admin backend work will be easiler. disparate Afds makes it very hard for another people to see and edit. Will also copy this to others Afd by nominator... as per othr Afd --Quek157 (talk) 14:02, 19 April 2018 (UTC)Addition: My meaning of group Afd is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Afd_footer_(multiple). --Quek157 (talk) 18:07, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment who will consolidate the articles. I rather it is deleted or kept. The pages aren't just one liner or one paragraph stubs, but really long ones. and we are talking about 13 articles of such a length. I forsee trouble for it. If merge is one reason, I rather it been what User:The Gnome says.Quek157 (talk) 15:37, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Relevance doesn't seem to have anything to do with notability which is where an article stands or not. I don't mind merging all the pages into one though. will rather merge than delete. the template is another thing . that will be a tfd. problem is how to merge. The fact that it have an article for each year at Chinese wiki is in fact stronger for the keep as it means that it's notable in Chinese wiki. remember many English Wikipedia articles comes from translation of other languages and since notability is established there. this may lend some weight here. though transwiki may be one but this is Wikipedia in different languages not as if it's wiki dictionary. I am still of neutral stance leaning to keep as no real good arguments coming up. do note I am not saying all or nothing. I take this at it's merit. WP:LISTCRUFT seems valid but I think since its national television, WP:FANCRUFT seems not that valid --Quek157 (talk) 09:17, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Final take for me in these disparate Afds, no particular opinion as there are values to keep, delete have some reasons, while merge / redirect seems nice and appropriate, merging into TVB will cause a lot of information to be lost, to merge all the awards into 1 article will lead to a mammoth, to cut doesn't seem right. I think some of those who proposes merge should contact the editors / wikiproject to try to merge or create a proper new article which will lend more weight with combined sources than just one per page. --Quek157 (talk) 09:25, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It is fine to merge them to a TVB Awards page for all years and all categories but not each article for each year and each category. Acnetj (talk) 09:42, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I am ambivalent on this. On one hand, it's very attractive proposition as that will be good. On the other hand, the current article is 115,284 bytes, given that we are merging based on categories, it should be reduced to 60,000 bytes (around). With 13 years, it will be 780,000 bytes (if we do plain formatting it may reduced to around 400,000 bytes). Unless we remove the nominees. I will think such a list is way too big and hard to understand. We have to really find a way to merge. And why am I copying and pasting my comments on every Afd everytime. I really hope nom will group all articles together. Do also note that the 2016 version is closed as "non-consensus" by another admin 78.26. I am not sure why these comments are not there and now suddenly there is an influx of such comments after that particular Afd was closed. I hope all are done in good faith. We may need to revisit the Afd also. --Quek157 (talk) 18:43, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Further Comment - Such lists are useful when properly referenced for Afd (ironically), see how the Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nick_Joong progresses, a list for 2016 SBS Drama Awards makes the notability of a person so clear. I know this is not an argment as to whether this list can meet WP:GNG but is a good reference for any admin / NPP / Afc participant to determine whether that person passes WP:GNG. --Quek157 (talk) 15:35, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional page for a defunct corporate training program that has been tagged for non-notability since 2010.

Fails WP:NHORSERACING guideline. Written by a WP:COI account, lengthy article that makes his career sound very impressive. However, the truth is he won only one graded stakes race. That would be the 1988 Martha Washington Handicap, a grade 3 race. The guideline would require him to win multiple races. Also, that race was won during a jockey strike in which he crossed the picket-line, meaning that there was less competition than usual. His only national rs coverage comes from that race.

Isn't it obvious? The user who created the page is User:Tony Vega jr--Rusf10 (talk) 16:44, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if you noticed but the subject of the article, the eponymous Tony Vega, passed away in 2013 while the article was created in 2016. So, the contributor can be his offspring or a fan (in which case we have a bit of a bias, but not COI) or even the dear departed himself, which would make things here in Wikipedia very interesting. -The Gnome (talk) 17:30, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
My guess would be that it's his son, hence jr.--Rusf10 (talk) 19:31, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Son of jockey Tony Vega documenting his father's life on film. Not illegitimate, as long as Dad was genuinely notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:26, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, quite possibly, Rusf10. As I said, possible bias; not COI. Take care. -The Gnome (talk) 09:00, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Having said that, I agree the text is infested with a huge colony of biased bacteria and needs some serious clean-up. If the article stays, I estimate about one third of the current text to remain in place. -The Gnome (talk) 09:00, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tony Vega also rode Hall of fame Champion Sprinter & Eclipse Award winner Precisionist to a third place finish behind legendary racehorse Forty Niner in the inaugural running of the NYRA Mile (Now known as The Cigar Mile) at Aqueduct racetrack, which is a very prestigious races in the U.S. during the fall/winter racing season. Also, the jockey strike only lasted a week and a half (in NY), and Vega continued to ride successfully against the regular NY riders which included Hall of Fame jockeys Jerry Bailey, Angel Cordero, Eddie Maple, Chris Antley, Jose Santos, Jean Cruet, Jorge Velasquez and more at Aqueduct, winning 18 races, 2nd in the NY jockey standings before moving his tack to a new track. Vega won the Grade 3 Martha Washington HDC at Laurel park in Maryland against his arch rival Jean Cruget who won Triple Crown aboard Seattle Slew, Julie Krone, who is the greatest female rider that ever lived, Kent Desormeaux who was North America's leading jockey for wins in the U.S.at that time,(Also won 2016 Preakness stakes aboard Exaggerator), among others. Tony Vega was the Dan Marino of Horse racing.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tony Vega jr (talkcontribs)
I may not be a horse racing expert, but the WP:NHORSERACING guideline is clear. It doesn't matter who else he raced with or what horse he used (he doesn't inherit notability from the horse), the fact remains he only won one graded stakes race. Comparing him to Dan Marino (a hall-of-famer and MVP) is makes no sense at all.--Rusf10 (talk) 23:34, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tony Vega is on the hall of fame ballot, and its makes a lot of sense (Marino remark) because he never quite got the credit he deserved as one of the best QB, or one of the best, because he never won a Super Bowl. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tony Vega jr (talkcontribs) 23:41, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We go by sources, Tony Vega jr; not your opinion or mine about Dan Marino, Tony Vega, or anyone else. Try and maintain a less confrontational attitude in these discussions. It not only facilitates the dialogue but helps your argument too. Take care. -The Gnome (talk) 07:48, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the subject meets WP:NHORSERACING, Rusf10. It only takes a brief yet careful perusal of sources in the article along with an online tour. -The Gnome (talk) 07:48, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note to Tony Vega Jr. You can write a blog entry or set up a web page or a Youtube video with his information on his father, and that can be used as a reference. Wikipedia should always reference an outside source and that can be what Tony Vega Jr., the son reminiscing about his father. --RAN (talk) 04:29, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
