Hashtag which lasted less than 24 hours. All coverage is from Oct 9 and Oct 10, so WP:NOTNEWS. The hashtag didn't appear in multiple iterations because there's a conspiracy to promote the hashtag in the contexts of Kaine, Obama, Kavanaugh etc., but because it's a very simple English phrase. I would like to see an article about pro- and anti-Kavanaugh rallies, though. Sidenote: this hashtag is innately flawed as it assumes that men talk to someone about being falsely accused. wumbolo ^^^ 21:54, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I don't believe WP:BEFORE was consulted by the nominator. I've added a section on this hasthag/movement at Me Too movement##HimToo and posted a note to Talk:Me_Too_movement#HimToo. A simple merge proposal or discussion could have staved off an AfD, at least temporarily. The assertions "lasted less than 24 hours" and "All coverage is from Oct 9 and Oct 10" are fake news. A Google news search set to look before October 2018 finds many articles, some listed below. Remember that Wikipedia is not reality, and the current condition of any article or references therein is not grounds for deletion. While this hashtag has had multiple iterations over the years, as discussed in at least three reliable sources, it could very plausibly be merged and discussed in Me Too movement, similar to how Alt-left redirects to Alt-right, despite being essentially opposite. Similarly, if the level of coverage becomes significant, it might warrant a stand-alone article, similar to AllLivesMatter as a counter to BlackLivesMatter. While this new article is imperfect and the scope unclear (the hashtag has received more coverage than any "movement"), I think judicious editing and merging are better alternatives to deletion.

Note that the first three references below directly discuss the hashtag HimToo, while other sources (listed here and not) use it in headlines or in passing without expounding on the hashtag itself. --Animalparty! (talk) 23:35, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Doesn't appear to meet any of the notability criteria for martial artists at WP:MANOTE. His art appears to be very small and not notable. There's also no supporting evidence for the claims of healing people. There is some coverage of him, but it's questionable whether it's enough to meet WP:GNG. The coverage appears to be in the feature (aka human interest) sections of local papers and in an interview on a source of unknown reliability. WP:RS says these types of story are to be considered less reliable than actual news stories. I will wait to vote to see if better sources get added. Papaursa (talk) 20:48, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reply : "Varmakkalai" is an dying ancient martial art which has been taught and its medical system were properly used to treat people by Aasan R. Rajendran. The organizations "The Hindu" and "The New Indian Express" are top news papers of India(2 articles were quoted in our wiki page), following to it "Dinamalar" is one of the top South India news media (Please consider translating those pages and SBS Australia's Interview from our native language Tamil to English). Request not to consider the article for deletion as Aasan R. Rajendran has dedicated his life to save this art which is yet to get the limelight in media due to its unpolished and raw look.

• The issues related to the broader types of our second source have been dicussed quite a lot, over ITNB.

• SBS radio and it's associates often indulged in paid-for-information campaigns for random entities. I see that the current version of the site has either deleted the self-declaration or shifted it to a lesser-accesible place. At any case, esp. in conjunction with the general apathy of wiki-community against treating interviews as reliable indicators of notability, thr SBS source does not lend any to notability.

I think this was a mistake made in the move here in 2009. The information moved relates to the Khan of Kalat but nowhere does it refer to the tribe as Qalat (or any other spelling). I can find sources about the Khan and the place but nothing other than mirrors regarding a tribe that uses the name.

I have a hard time keeping up with the deletion nominations of ThatMontrealIP. May I remind them that there is no deadline, that most of the artists' biographies are rather benign, and that slowing down a bit would be appreciated? To the issue at hand,Blazek appears to have received some critical attention. The Mystic Seaport is a notable museum. It's not remotely the kind of work I like, and Marine Art is a bit of a niche, but Blazek appears to have work in Museum Collections (the Delaware Art Museum) and has received some awards, although I'm not sure just how notable those are. Vexations (talk) 01:16, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vexations, I checked and I've nominated 31 articles for AfD since September 10. It's a quite a few, but I started to notice how many non-notable artist articles we have, some of which were egregiously promotional.

? The source is in the article. [4]. Markvs88 (talk) 01:15, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what the source means by "American Art Library of the Smithsonian Institution" exactly. Is it the American Art and Portrait Gallery Library [5]? If so, I'm not convinced that inclusion in a library collection is equivalent to inclusion in a museum collection when it comes to establishing the notability of the subject. Vexations (talk) 01:32, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Markvs88, a biography based on the artist's own promotional copy is not a proper source, it is a reprint of his own promotion claiming he is in the Smithsonian. If you can find a Smithsonian source, that would be good. I searched their site and could not find one.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 13:58, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again ThatMontrealIP. I don't disagree with what you're saying, I cannot find any mention of his work at the Smithsonian either. OTOH not everything is on the Internet. For example, there is an artifact from Bridgeport, CT in the entrance hall of the American History Museum in DC. I've seen it dozens of times over the decades, and it's been there since at least 1986. Where did you see that it is his own copy on the Mystic Seaport site? Markvs88 (talk) 18:19, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Smithsonian claim is dubious, we need a source for that. The Mystic Seaport is a bio: organizations do not typically write biographies of artists-- they are almost always provided by the artist, unless the artist is dead. The Mystic seaport source is also very dubious because it is a 'museum' that is also trying to sell original works by the artist on the page mentioned. I've never seen a museum that advertised original works for sale like this: "Ocean View, Narragansett 20 x 56 $5,850." If it is selling works rather than collecting them, it's a commercial gallery with 'museum' in its name. Either way it is not an independent source as it has a financial interest in the promotion of the artist! ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:11, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The Mystic Seaport museum is a serious museum with an extensive collection of maritime art, [6], that does not have any work by Robert Blazek in its collection. It also has a store [7], that sells prints by maritime artists, which is fairly common for art museums. Additionally, there is an art gallery adjacent to the museum. Exhibitions there are not curated by the museum staff, and the gallery is not a collecting institution. Representation by that gallery does not establish notability for the subject.--Vexations (talk) 11:02, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article shows WP:GNG / WP:BASIC, please click on the links. See the references - Telegraph, Standard etc., coverage in multiple, independent, national publications, but wouldn't meet other guidelines. These were covering his time as a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother, his public marriage issues and his charity work, as well as a lot of media coverage of his financial issues. None of this was the case when this went to AfD nine years ago, the Celebrity Big Brother stint got him a lot of extra coverage.

• Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections per se — if she does not have a credible claim to preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten her an article anyway, then a candidate normally has to win the election, not just run in it, before the election turns into an article-clinching notability claim in and of itself. But there's no strong claim of preexisting notability here, and not nearly enough reliable source coverage about her to deem her candidacy a special case over and above everybody else's candidacies.

• Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they haven't won — but there's no other basis for notability here. Notability as a writer doesn't wash, because his book is metareferenced to itself rather than being sourced to the reliable source media coverage about it that would be necessary to deem him notable per WP:AUTHOR — and he can't credibly claim to be a special case whose candidacy is markedly more notable than most other people's candidacies, as the referencing here consists overwhelmingly of primary sources that do nothing to support notability at all and/or glancing namechecks of his existence in media coverage of other things, not the reliable source media coverage about him that it takes to clear GNG.

Neither of these codes is my forte but it didn't look right so I asked a friend who's a python expert & well versed in Java to examine it, partly because I've never heard of QAZE and could find no references.

• Delete Sources in article are not independent (Liahona, Church News), not reliable ("Grampa Bill"), or completely trivial mentions (Deseret News). The almanac source is not independent, as it is assembled by the staff of Church News, an official church publication ([8]). Search does not find significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources, so subject does not pass WP:GNG. Worth noting that the article's notability claims are LDS-specific ("inaugurating full time missionary work in East Germany"), suggesting that subject likely did not attract non-LDS coverage.

COI article for a non-notable organization (a student union) that doesn't pass GNG either. Drmies (talk) 03:18, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Significant student union at a major university. The article has existed for over a decade with many contributors, and has been unanimously kept twice. Drmies was also the nominator the last time it was unanimously kept, so this seems to be an attempt at "if at first you don't succeed...". The COI allegation is completely baseless and seems to be a bit of mud-throwing after the failure last time around. The Drover's Wife (talk) 05:30, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • User:The Drover's Wife, thanks for the note--both, the one about the earlier nomination (I had forgotten) and the shot below the belt. I do wonder what gets you so upset so quickly. Anyway, like last time you have no actual argument except for "it's notable", and the article itself is still nothing more than a combination of a description of governance and structure, with a huge section of unverified factoids unworthy of an encyclopedia. Looking at the references, you have to go to #11 before the first secondary source, and the next one--well, who knows, since the references are kind of a mess. I could challenge The Drover's Wife to produce a reference from a secondary source that discusses the club in any kind of detail, but they couldn't be bothered last time either.

• Merge to University_of_New_South_Wales#Student_organisations as per the guidelines in WP:CLUB. I am not in favour of keeping in as an independent article. A 10 year old organisation is not automatically notable, neither are student unions automatically notable. The scope of a student union's activities are largely restricted to the university and usually doesn't attract enough national attention. In this case, a merge to University_of_New_South_Wales#Student_organisations would be a suitable solution. I wouldn't like to merge all the information though as I am concerned that some of the information in this article is potentially violating our WP:BLP policy. Other parts of the article reads like an information brochure. We can exclude these information.--DreamLinker (talk) 08:37, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

     The article notes:

     The former chief executives of Crown Zellerbach, Alumax, NL Industries and Thomson Consumer Electronics who all lost their jobs or resigned following takeovers - are now planning a series of acquisitions themselves.

     The four, together with two former big-league investment bankers, have formed a San Francisco partnership that will buy and run U.S. manufacturing companies.

     American Industrial Partners, which so far has been operating on its members' personal funds, in the next few weeks will begin raising $100 million to $250 million in equity from outside investors.

     ...

     The partners aim to buy mid-size manufacturing and industrial service and distribution companies at prices ranging from $50 million to $300 million. They're looking for private companies and divisions of public companies that have high market shares and special product, production and/or distribution niches, but that may be undercapitalized or have under-used assets.

     The article lists the six founding partners as:
     1. Richard Bingham, 51, head of mergers and acquisitions for Lehman Brothers
     2. William Creson, 58, former chairman, president and chief executive of Crown Zellerbach Co.

     The article notes:

     But back-to-basics dealmaking has helped American Industrial quietly assemble an impressive portfolio of manufacturers. The firm, which includes former CEOs of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., Mead Corp. and Stanley Works, has spent about half of its $217 million buyout fund to acquire five companies with more than 4,000 employees and $500 million in revenues.

     Now, the partnership is poised to more than double its industrial assets by buying Sweetheart Holdings Inc., the corporate descendant of Maryland Cup Corp. Sweetheart, which generates an estimated $900 million in revenues, has 8,000 employees, including 2,500 at a factory in Owings Mills.

     ...

     American Industrial, a privately held limited partnership with offices in San Francisco and New York, does not release financial data. But interviews with company officials and industry observers confirm the view of a conservatively run group that seeks to revive companies by cutting debt and improving operations at companies such as Easco Aluminum Corp.

     ...

     American Industrial's money comes from 11 investors, including five former CEOs. The partnership was formed in 1988 and built a $217 million capital fund that runs until 1998, with two one-year extension options.

     Besides Mr. Rogers, partners include Richard Bingham, a former managing director and head of the merger and acquisition division at Lehman Brothers, a New York investment firm; Thomas Barrett, who headed Goodyear; Burnell Roberts, the former chief of Mead, a paper company; and Donald W. Davis, former head of Stanley, a tool maker.

     New York-based AIP has been in business since 1989. A BusinessWeek profile describes it as a private-equity company that specializes in turning around "leading middle-market" industrial and manufacturing companies.

     In 2004, it bought Stolle Machinery, which makes equipment used in the manufacturing of aluminum cans. Alcoa sold Stolle at a time when its stock price was stagnating and it needed to raise cash, Randall said.

     Some private-equity groups buy companies, dismantle them and sell the pieces for a quick profit. But AIP instead bought Stolle's major competitor, Sequa Can Machinery Inc., consolidated the companies and grew the enterprise.

     AIP, a limited partnership headed by several former top executives, promised to cut the Chicago-based company's debt and infuse it with capital.

     Sweetheart, which generates an estimated $900 million in revenues and has 8,000 employees, more than doubles AIP's size.

     AIP, which is privately held and run by former CEOs of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., Mead Corp. and Stanley Works, now owns six industrial companies with 12,000 employees and $1.4 billion in revenues.

     The company makes about 80 percent of its revenues producing disposable food cups, trays, plates and other items for fast-food restaurants and delicatessens.

    • Response Being "profiled" and receiving "significant coverage" must also be accomplished in such a way that the that content includes original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject as per WP:ORGIND. Please note especially the phrase *clearly attributable* to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Given that both of those references rely extensively on interviews with the founders or with officers connected with their company, any statements plucked at random that aren't in quotes does 1) not mean that those statements are the opinion of the author 2) those statements weren't originally provided by the company officers and 3) those statements are significant for the purposes of establishing notability. From reading each article, it is clear that the statements you've provided are not clearly attributable to anyone but the context is important and since those statements are often following or are followed by statements attributable to a connected source, it is entirely reasonable that so too are your selected quotes. Certainly there is nothing to indicate anything to the contrary and most article are clear when information is arriving from a different source and most journalists are clear when they are voicing their own opinions. Also, your selected quotation from the Roanoake Times is in relation to AEA - an entirely different company.

• Delete per nom. Lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources, failing WP:ORG / WP:GNG. -- Wikipedical (talk) 18:44, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Rathfelder it still exists, it just has a new name which is Hare and Tortoise. Wikipedical except there's a million links about Retort now renamed to Hare and Tortoise on Google, and are all easy to find. I can't understand why so many articles on Wikipedia like this get "nominated for deletion" when there's countless independent articles online. If the sources could only be found in books/magazines/newspapers offline then fair enough as someone would have to buy/borrow the said books/magazines/newspapers or go to a library to read them. But when sources can be found on page 1 of Google it's not that hard to find the sources and add them yourself is it, before nominating an article for deletion? I've added multiple articles from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Comedy.co.uk and Chortle among others to show it's notability. Danstarr69 (talk) 10:49, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's still part of Fremantle. Why is it notable in its own right? What is its legal status? I can see it as a registered company. Rathfelder (talk) 10:55, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rathfelder because like many TV networks and production companies in the UK and worldwide, they have many subsidiaries. The BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 4, Sky, UKTV etc all have different production companies they use for their shows, and sometimes produce shows for each other. Fremantle is no different. It has countless production companies around the world, 7 of which are in the UK. It's notable because it's produced many big shows for the biggest TV networks in the UK. Even if they were shows for the smaller networks it wouldn't make it any less notable. Here's Hare and Tortoise (formerly Retort's) registered company address https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06689783. Danstarr69 (talk) 11:39, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Other than multiple reworded press releases announcing the new company 'Hare and Tortoise,' I have not found any significant coverage about the company. The references you have inserted into the article are mentions of the company, which does not satisfy GNG. -- Wikipedical (talk) 15:56, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedical it doesn't matter if they haven't produced any shows yet as they're not a "new company." They're the "old company" renamed. It's just like how BBC One used to be called BBC 1, Channel 5 used to be called FIVE, All 4 used to be called 4oD, Sky Witness used to be called Sky Living etc Hare and Tortoise used to be called Retort and before that it was part of Talkback Thames before they split into 4 distinct companies. How hard is it for you Wikipedia experts to understand? If the other 3 companies Talkback, Thames and Boundless (which were all part of Talkback Thames before the split) are seen as "notable" then why exactly is "Hare and Tortoise" formerly known as "Retort" not seen as notable when it's done just as many shows as they have. Danstarr69 (talk) 20:22, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The number of series this company has produced does not establish notability, nor do mentions of the company in the reworded press releases announcing those series. It's not about quantity. What establishes notability is significant coverage in independent reliable sources, as I said above. That's Wikipedia policy. See WP:ORG and WP:ORGDEPTH. -- Wikipedical (talk) 18:52, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete First off, notability is not inherited and I am unable to locate and references that meet the criteria for establishing notability - there is no significant in-depth intellectually independent coverage of this company (regardless of its current name). Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 16:41, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
