This genus name is usually considered to be a synonym of Pachyna, which does not have an article. If Pachyna later exists, this would redirect to that title. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 04:44, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and move. If it is a synonym (and one of the page's own sources says it is) then at worst this is a move to Pachyna, retaining the synonym information in the article. This is not really my subject, but as I understand the convention, since Weymer published before Kirby, Weymer should take precedence in naming. SpinningSpark 12:06, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Momentum. Although several votes were to keep, the fact that some of them were based on human opinion has no doubt caused them to disregard WP:SYNTH and WP:LISTN, therefore this will be redirected for the timebeing.

Originally researched stuff that is horribly wrong, (atleast, as to the first value that I checked, about the garden snail one) and I've got exactly zero idea about how he came to the values, other than some attempt at guessing the constituent data of mass and velocity and multiplying them down.Some of the constituent data are sourced but even then, it fails WP:LISTN. And, if someone do manage to find such trivial list(s) to high-school/undergrad science text-book (which often have them to provide an indicative idea of the vastness of the real range of a physical quantity), we are not one.We are an encyclopedia.∯WBGconverse 03:15, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This article is part of a set – see the following navigational template. It doesn't make sense to consider this in isolation when other members of the set have been extensively discussed and kept previously. For example, see RfC, AfD.

Going with delete in this case.

This term appears to merely be the title of a book (Byas 1942), not a common way of describing the early 1930s time period in Japan (described at Shōwa_period#Military_state).

Keep per previous AfD-not a one-off term, but used by several authors.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 18:53, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that AfD establishes that; there are several Google book sources, but most of them are of the form "what an English journalist called 'Government by Assasination'"; all except "The War in the Pacific" (a short illustrated book for adolescents) directly cite Byas. One calls it Byas's take a "myth" and one an "exaggeration". power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:59, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It seems like this article would make more sense as an article about the Byas book. Such an article could discuss the book's contents and reception without having to make broader claims about the significance of the term. The book clearly passes WP:NBOOK, and it would be more straightforward to integrate an article about the book into broader topical articles throughout the encyclopedia.

Non-notable actor, lacks significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Provided sources are mere-mentions, does not meet WP:GNG. Provided filmography is of several short films of dubious notability, and most of the roles played in said films appear to be minor.

Strong Keep. The subject is reliably described as having become prominent under her real name, with coverage in national media like The New York Times and CBS News online. Whether the association is strong enough to meet our BLP standards is debateable, but the timing of this request lends credibility to the association. I don't believe we should suppress accurate information from Wikipedia at the request of one party to a dispute, because the more widely it is known the more likely it is to weaken their position in that dispute.

User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz where is the New York Times article and CBS coverage you are referring to? It could help me make a more informed i-vote.

Given that Lexi Love has edited her article and without explicit association from the RS, posting it publicly violates our BLP standards and is considered WP:OUTING. Oversight has already scrubbed an attempt to out her within the past week.[1]Morbidthoughts (talk) 15:11, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's a gross misuse of WP:OUTING, which should not be applied to suppress openly published information about a public figure. "Love" herself acknowledges the information to be accurate, since it was originally taken from the WIPO trademark case, published in news reports of the case, and is he basis for "Love" saying she won back the domain name incorporating her stage name. This is not a case of protecting privacy. This is a case of a public figure, whose recent activities have been covered in national media like the NY Times, trying to suppress now-embarassing public information that can easily be seen as casting doubt on her credibility in a very public dispute. That's not something Wikipedia should be a party to, and it's disturbing that admins have placed their thumbs on the scales to limit discussion of basic issues involved. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. (talk) 18:12, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ahuh. Despite your liberties in presuming her motives, where are the reliable sources associating the two again? I don't see them in the article? Is it due to your lack of experience adding content to articles? Are you relying on trademark cases that fall under WP:BLPPRIMARY? Isn't keeping the article in the hopes that a reliable source will make this association make this a case of blue crystal balls? Morbidthoughts (talk) 01:52, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I found her real name with a bit of digging, but given that I can only find mention of that name in reliable sources in relation to one news story, and that "Lexi Love" or her past isn't mentioned at all in the coverage of that story, is there a valid reason to keep this article under its current name and in its current form as it stands?

The trouble is, I cannot find a single reliable source about this person that mentions the name "Lexi Love" in connection with her, or her past career.

This source listed in the article's references section provides some coverage, but multiple, independent reliable sources that provide significant coverage are required, not just one.

Sorry, but publications that are literally owned and published by the LDS church, such as Liahona and Church News, are entirely primary sources, and are not usable to establish notability. The same goes for Lds.org content, which is the church's website. Religious subjects are not given a free pass for an article on Wikipedia; what's needed is independent coverage in multiple reliable sources that provide significant coverage. It's also important to keep WP:SPIP in mind, some of which is listed below.
The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it—without incentive, promotion, or other influence by people connected to the topic matter.

Comment – The Encyclopedia of Latter-Day Saint History is a primary source, because it is published by the Deseret Book Company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deseret Management Corporation, which is wholly owned by the LDS Church. As such, it is not usable to establish notability. The BYU Religious Studies Center article has two paragraphs about the subject.

Delete The Religious Studies Center link that the above editor claims as coverage is the author bio for an article by the subject published by the Religious Studies Center, not independent coverage about the subject. Other sources in the article are not independent (Ensign, Encyclopedia) or not reliable ("Grampa Bill"). The Encyclopedia of LDS History source is probably fine for factual information about the subject, but not sufficiently independent to count toward general notability of an LDS church leader (see WP:IIS). Otherwise search finds passing mentions and quotes in religious material, brief mentions in routine coverage of church announcements, and occasional quotes reproduced without analysis. It does not add up to significant coverage of this subject in multiple, independent, reliable sources. Subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG. Open to alternatives if significant coverage emerges.

Possibly marginally notable (although doubtful about this) but the article in its current form has few redeeming features. Rambling and promotional, and trying to justify his notability. Ostrichyearning3 (talk) 21:30, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete It appears as though his books are all self-published through Createspace, so the subject does not meet WP:NAUTHOR. As a musician, he seems to have a few sources that discuss him; [7][8] are two examples. However, there does not seem to be a great deal of coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. His recordings do not meet WP:NALBUM and so he can't inherit any press from them. If there's a criteria I don't see, or sources I've missed, I agree that a rewrite is in order. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:00, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have had a go at finding additional references and reshaping the article a bit. It's not easy finding articles about him - I suspect that if we had access to more online newspapers in Polish, French, Spanish, etc, it would be possible to find more. I think he may meet the WP:COMPOSER guidelines: "Composers and performers outside mass media traditions may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria - 2. Has composed a number of notable melodies, tunes or standards used in a notable music genre." There is evidence that he has composed operas and symphonies for bagpipes, and he was certainly the first person to compose a bagpipe opera. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:49, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article is advertising. The key to that is the final paragraph about his school. The books are self published. The reviews are unreliable. Criterion 2 for musicians requires notable compositions--there seems to be no evidence that the compositions he wrote have ever been performed by anyone else, let alone attracted substantial critical comment, so they are not notable.

Minimally sourced stub about a mayor in a mid-sized city, which just primary sources the fact that he exists and then jumps straight to a poorly contexualized and single-sourced (to a dead link) criminal allegation without actually providing any other information about him in between -- so it's posing major WP:BLP problems as well. While the city is large enough that a genuinely substantive and well-sourced article could be kept, it's not large or prominent enough that the need to maintain articles about its mayors would override how bad this article actually is. (As things currently stand, in fact, he's the only past or present mayor of the city who has a Wikipedia article without having gone on to hold higher office at the provincial or federal levels first — even his immediate predecessor didn't get an article until he became a federal MP in 2015.)

The result was keep. Mkdwtalk 21:31, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This seems to be somewhere between a dictionary definion (the article largely corresponds to the Merriam-Webster entry) and a broad concept article; there might also be potential for treating this within some other broader article. Regardless, the situation at present is acceptable: we've got a definition of "business machine", and a few examples of types of machines that have been referred to using this term. – Uanfala (talk) 23:02, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Fairly hopeless article as it stands, but it is open to expansion and improvement. As a historical term and concept, it is easily notable. Many books have been written on the topic (using that exact term) in the 60s, 70s and 80s. As the article says, the term is "somewhat obsolete" so it is of little surprise that the linked articles do not use it. Wikipedia can and should have articles on obsolete technology, organisational systems, and classifications. That is exactly the mission of an encyclopaedia.

Nominating this page again for deletion. This is a non-notable film which is not released. The motive of this is only vandalism and advertisment/ promotion of the film. Most contributors are socks and have been globally locked. Socks are used to fool wikipedia about it's release. From the creation of the article it was shown that this film will release on September 2017 it's almost 14 months passed yet no release. ✝iѵɛɳ२२४०†ลℓк †๏ мэ 08:28, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as there are enough sources for WP:GNG to be passed. Also, this is a disruptive nomination as the previous afd by the same nominator resulted in keep on 26 August 2018 so this is a challenge of that decision that should have gone to deletion review not another AFD so soon and that is why there should be some limit on the time period for renomination of kept articles, personally I would say 3 years but at least 6 months Atlantic306 (talk) 19:35, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Atlantic306: as I see the article Ambarnath Film Festival again it's made by one of the socks of Ivan. I doubt that article was created to support this article, yet that article is notable and has its own importance. With this article in question there is no reliable source to prove that the film received an award. The links added to the same in the article are if a local newspaper and the website is live and everyday new news comes on that so is hard to find out the authenticity of the source.

delete the subject doesnt pass WP:NFILM, nor WP:GNG. There is not significant coverage of that film. Even the sources used in the article are false. I removed one a few minutes ago from now, and like these: http://paper.hindustantimes.com/epaper/viewer.aspx Not sure what Atlantic is expecting to be loaded. This lokmat article, and this source have been cited in the article. Both of them are same to the punctuation marks. The third source, has extremely minor changes in the article. While print media of Lokmat has hood good reputation, the e-copy has not. And this article is clearly a puff piece. And the esakal source is a brief version of the lokmat. Rest of the (non reliable) sources have only one word mention of film, in the list of films screened at Ambarnath film festival. —usernamekiran(talk) 23:13, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Your argument here is vague, I guess you mean Lokmat has a good reputation rather than a hood reputation which would be bad! Also you say that the film was shown at the festival in which case the article is not so much a fake? but the references are a press release ? please clarify if you want me to change my vote, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 00:39, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
How is my argument vague here? If a subject doesnt have significant coverage, then are we supposed to present other sources that does not mention the subject? I never said the article/film was hoax. I said few of the sources used in the article are false. I even provided one example. —usernamekiran(talk) 17:37, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Seems like any deletion should be deferred until the film has been released theatrically. There appears to be enough coverage of the film to suggest some notability, certainly it will be notable if it receives reviews from major publications. Hzh (talk) 10:06, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Hzh: Hi. In the beginning, a similar thought had come across my mind too, but I was thinking about draftifying. But I find it strange that it was shown at a festival, and yet it hasnt been released theatrically, TV, neither on home media. Also, the release date is backed up by three sources; two of which are user generated, and third source doesnt mention the release date. —usernamekiran(talk) 10:56, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is not unusual for a film to be shown in a festival first before it is released theatrically. You see it often, sometimes even for television series. For example, Sundance Film Festival often shows films that had not been released theatrically, such as Call Me by Your Name (you can look into its release history). Perhaps they feel the publicity at the festival will be good for the film when it is finally released to the public. It is what many film-makers often do, usually independent ones, sometimes major Hollywood films are also shown in film festivals first, such as the Cannes Film Festival and other festivals (e.g. this year A Star Is Born premiered at the Venice Film Festival first). It is not an issue for me. Hzh (talk) 11:04, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Hzh: Hi. You are correct, I know it is not usual. But one year is a very long period. Also, you should see the AfD I linked in the comment below. —usernamekiran(talk) 21:05, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The release of Call Me by Your Name was over 10 months between its showing at the film festival and its (limited) theatrical release, and its wider theatrical release was even later. I've heard of films that were released a couple of years later. Can you show that the websites given in the article are perpetuating a hoax? It is a bold claim. Hzh (talk) 22:08, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Hzh: I completely agree with you, but the socking history of these articles; and background of other articles make me doubt about the authenticity of this article. In other articles, sources stating that the films were screened at Toronto film festival were provided. It is possible the same thing is happening here. One film won an award in the film festival that wasn't even operational at that time. I see no reason nor any source confirming this movie was nominated for awards in Ambarnath film festival. I can read Marathi language, and couldn't find any source confirming it was nominated. A film being screened at a non notable film festival of same regional language, is not enough to have an article. —usernamekiran(talk) 03:46, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per Hzh's analysis, it is WP:TOOSOON. It might become notable if it gets theatrical release (or at least gets substantial independent media attention prior to that). But it hasn't yet. In the mean time, it's just a sock magnet. It's now been a few months after the last AFD, and it's now many more months after the sources claim it will be released. Seems like the project stalled? When it gets released and gets more than writing about standard parts of its filming, it could merit an article. DMacks (talk) 12:45, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just because you might have found possible errors in the articles does not make them lies. Hzh (talk) 09:50, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:V is the bedrock of wikipedia content. If we have content that is not supported by WP:RS, it should be removed. If it's just a mistake, such as an incorrect year, it should be fixed. And that should be trivial to figure out because there would be a cited reliable source to support what is correct. But if there is no supportable claim of notability (because the claims of notability fail verification), then the article fails WP:GNG at this time. DMacks (talk) 17:18, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is all PR, though, unfortunately and mostly about the firm, where he speaks on behalf of the firm, as opposed to about him. WP:ANYBIO states awards or honour should be "well-known" or "significant". I would argue that something like "40 under 40" or "30 under 30" as is listed by many organisations or magazines is not an award or honour per-se, but rather contextualised reporting. Similarly, the WEF Young Leaders are not generally considered sufficient for notability in the absence of other editorial reporting. pseudonymJake Brockmantalk 14:31, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not much -besides some listings- found on her in Greek. The most extensive reference is an obituary [9] (she died last year) in the website of a local paper of Corfu, Greece since she had family ties to the island, and she is well remembered by her friends there. ——Chalk19 (talk) 12:24, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep probably. As an artist, she needs to meet one of the 'Creative professionals' criteria, and I think she probably meets #4: "The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." Her obituary (thank you Chalk19) states that she "has exhibited in Greece, Cyprus and Italy in more than 20 solo exhibitions and 7 group exhibitions; Her works have been housed in a permanent exhibition at showcases at the State School of Fine Arts in Florence since 1986, at the Cultural Center of the City of Athens since 1994 and at the Gallery of the Municipality of Corfu since 1996. Also her works are included in the publications:
1. "The Greek Jewel 5000 Years Tradition - Hellenic Goldsmith's Center " Edition: ELKA Ltd., Athens 1995
2. "Il mestiere dell arte - Istituto Statale D 'Arte" Version: ISTITUTO STATALE D 'ARTE, Florence 1997
3. "The Greek Jewel 6000 Years Tradition" Edition: Archaeological Resources and Expropriations Fund, MINISTRY OF CULTURE, Athens 1997.
Even searching the web in English, it can be difficult to find evidence or reviews of exhibitions without knowing the name of the gallery and the date. The galleries are named here (in English), and there are a few dates, so digging around might find something - if it's online. However, I think that the fact that her work is held in 3 galleries and included in three books does indicate that she was considered a notable jeweller. 2 of those books are in the references - perhaps the 3rd could be added.

That aside one cover-single at #29 isn't (or shouldn't) be the be all and end all of notability here - There's no reviews of her cover-single nor are there any indepth coverage in reliable sources on her as a person/artist ... The best we have in terms of notability is this one source which quite frankly isn't anywhere near enough to justify keeping this article, Had she had 3-4 top 40s fine we wouldn't be here now but like I said one cover isn't the be all and end all here,

DreamWorks Studios/Pictures, Marvel Entertainment (Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc., ToyBiz/Marvel Enterprise/Marvel Entertainment Inc, Marvel Entertainment, LLC) and The Disney Company (Disney Productions, The Disney Company/Disney Enterprise, The Disney Company - post CC/ABC merger) all follow this route - that the change in business form does not create a new subject and thus article. Spshu (talk) 17:31, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Question@Spshu: You seem to be proposing a merge/redirect of The Weinstein Company to Lantern Entertainment, which doesn't require AfD involvement. Can you clarify why you're bringing it here, rather than merging the content directly (presumably after seeking consensus on the article talk pages)? Bakazaka (talk) 03:54, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Weinstein Company was already move to Lantern Entertainment and some one got it moved back with out much discussion (history page is confusing - it looks like it was done by several editors). At the talk page, it was two Lantern employees requesting the split - we don't do PR for them, thus no original discussion for LE/TWC to be move back to TWC. I am proposing that Lantern Entertainment be deleted, so The Weinstein Company (TWC) article can be renamed to Lantern Entertainment, as far as I know with the Lantern article existing I cannot do it (an administrator can). I had already update The Weinstein Company article with the Lantern Entertainment name change, only for another editor to revert it. As is the Lantern Entertainment on its own does not have any notability. Spshu (talk) 13:57, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think I may have address your issue from the wrong direction. Yes, this could have been done under Speed Deletion G6. Technical deletions. (page to be moved). But given above move, I expected resistance as indicate by Hayholt's reversion. Spshu (talk) 14:40, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, Speedy Keep under WP: SKCRIT#2D. Based on the explanation above, this nomination seems to be an attempt to settle a content dispute without achieving consensus on article talk pages. Neither article needs to be deleted or moved, given that anyone can merge content from The Weinstein Company into Lantern Entertainment without deleting or moving either article. The talk page discussion on The Weinstein Company does not have a merge proposal listed, but the discussion there seems to be divided on making a single article in any event, and at least one experienced editor there (who is not a Lantern Entertainment employee) suggests keeping two articles. Bakazaka (talk) 17:29, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merging content from The Weinstein Company into Lantern Entertainment would separate EDITING HISTORY (against WP:ATTREQ) as TWC is the longer article, @Bakazaka:. Thus anyone suggesting or doing "given that anyone can merge content from The Weinstein Company into Lantern Entertainment without deleting or moving either article". Thus SPEEDY DELETION G6. Technical deletions: "For copy-and-paste page moves that need to be temporarily deleted to make room for a clean page move." This was a move that done before then reverted with out discussion. Yes, give DDG then Hayholt, some one would have opposed the Speedy deletion. There is next to no content on Lantern Entertainment that isn't on TWC or related articles, just need to changed the current name, logo, etc. So there is no content dispute. Spshu (talk) 18:00, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Attribution can be addressed with histmerge. There is even a place to go for help: Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. It's clear what you think ought to be done, but there's no consensus for that, and taking this issue to AfD bypasses the basic operation of the encyclopedia. I encourage you to re-engage in discussion on article talk pages, and settle this content dispute through dispute resolution channels. Bakazaka (talk) 18:17, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am also curious, and agree with with User:Bakazaka. Also, why have only 1 article instead of two? They are 2 separate brand names and essentially two different companies, but not the same enough for a continuation. Hayholt (talk) 12:23, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, they are enough of the same as the new owners bought the core set of assets of TWC. As changing names, business forms or owner/parent company doesn't not constitute "essentially two different companies" as explain in the above AfD nominations or we would have multiple Disney articles. Marvel Comics in its Timely and Atlas eras operated under dozens of corporate entities such that the next issue of the same title might be under a different corporate name. It is Marvel's long history that gets them separate articles. There were "essentially two different" DreamWorks, DW Studios, LLC that was the remainder of the original DreamWorks and owned by Paramount then the restarted DreamWorks, which took some projects in the works from the old DW Studios. This (TWC→LE) amounts to a name change along with a business form change not a new business. Spshu (talk) 13:57, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Obviously notable as de facto continuation of TWC. Just merge the content out of AfD per WP:BURO; there's plenty of sources for all of this and deletion isn't going to happen. Nate•(chatter) 13:46, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But they being BURO, citing different legal form for not recognizing TWC as LE. DreamWorks II was a defacto continuation of the first DreamWorks thus was kept together. Spshu (talk) 13:57, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Question. How can you consider likely outcome a reason to support your position that is like WP:MAJORITY (some argument to avoid), but before too many have even posted a position? I have been shot down in attempts to split DreamWorks and Marvel Entertainment, so considering it likely, seem a bit brash to assume. Spshu (talk) 14:40, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Consider my vote! changed to Speedy Keep then per Bakazaka; you're trying to use AfD to TNT an article without cause and going past our other procedures regarding merge/splits. We're not here to discuss other quixotic split attempts, just this article in particular. Nate•(chatter) 17:42, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
keep separate brands. But entirely different except for assets. Also they wsnt to distance themselves from TWC for obvious reasons. Hayholt (talk) 14:08, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Again, we don't answer to the company. Renaming is at times "separate branding". Spshu (talk) 14:41, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Again, Not necessary to treat this as a continuation for a variety of reasons. Hayholt (talk) 14:46, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SpinningSpark: Possibly and the coordinate could have been plotted inaccurately compared to Hadf. However, the article says it is a settlement in Ajman which is in UAE so the article is so inaccurate. Regards. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:00, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SpinningSpark:@Pkbwcgs: Hiya! Agh. Just agh. Okay, so Ajman and Oman jointly administered this territory until the border was finalised, when Hadf (a tiny farming community of highly dubious notability) and Sinadil (one of the few Carter Creations that got rescued, mostly due to the good offices of his sparkiness) which is next to it ended up on the 'other side of the fence'. I nipped over there a few weekends ago to try and work out what was happening there (when we were debating Sinadil and other Carterstubs in the area, SS!). Google lassos both together as 'Hadf', I'd have said Sinadil was the noteworthy human settlement and the farming area of Hadf would be a mention on the Sinadil page, but I'll leave that call to you gents. Hadf existeth and is in Oman. Hadhf can go or become a redirect, IMHO. For students of sublime irony, Hadf is Arabic for deletion! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 03:16, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Therefore, minus AlessandroTiandelli333's merge argument, there's clear consensus to redirect and that this doesn't warrant its own article at this time.

Can anyone answer me this Per WP:POLITICIAN... Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". The footnote goes on to say " A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists.". I can't see how this article possibly fails this metric. Markvs88 (talk) 02:18, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Every local town in the U.S. has routine local political reporting. All of his significant coverage is from these routine articles. The single line quote in the NY Times, for instance, isn't significant. SportingFlyertalk 02:41, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Hartford Courant, New Haven Register, and the Connecticut Post are not "local" papers to Ansonia. Also, please cite the WP policy on local coverage not being worthy of inclusion? Because if that's true, then we can't use the NY Times to report on New York City, etc... Markvs88 (talk) 13:04, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - We hold politicians, for better or worse, to a more stringent standard than others for inclusion. Mayors of towns of less than 50,000 or so are generally treated at AfD very much like unelected politicians. This city has less than 20,000 people, so it's not really even an edge case in that regard. Carrite (talk) 13:19, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Question Is the size of the town a disqualifying factor, or merely a primary consideration which is difficult to overcome? My reading of WP:POLITICIAN is the latter. Would an extremely long tenure matter? What about significant coverage based on other public activities? Oldsanfelipe (talk) 16:23, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be the latter - if the mayor received national attention or had other hooks to notability. SportingFlyertalk 20:59, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So in a nutshell: no mayor of North Ogden, Utah would be notable, ever, even if reported in the Salt Lake Tribune. But now we can create an article for Brent Taylor because he was killed in Afghanistan [18]. Oh, wait, that's the Salt Lake Tribune, we need to use [19] USA Today instead. I find this logic baffling... a news source of record is a news source of record. Markvs88 (talk) 23:11, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Every incorporated community in the U.S. has a mayor, and almost if not every community has routine local political coverage about their mayors. The coverage for Cassetti is par for the course small town mayor coverage. I don't think Taylor would necessarily deserve an article, either. SportingFlyertalk 23:48, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Markvs88, your hectoring of every delete vote is bordering on WP:POINTy. Sporting Flyer and several others have all said effectively the same thing. Small town mayors typically are not notable for just being mayor and having routine local coverage. Toddst1 (talk) 16:18, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bogus. No footnotes or references. There is no Marquisate of Benidoleig. Article says that the third marquis, Fernando Fernandes de Piña, married Sofía of Aragón, daughter of King James II of Aragón who had no daughter by that name.
The 6th marquis, Santiago de Piña y Aragón de Castillo, supposedly married Yolande of Anjou, daughter of Louis II of Naples. She married Philip I, Duke of Brabant and secondly, Francis I, Duke of Brittany. Maragm (talk) 10:33, 29 October 2018 (UTC) Also, the County of Huesca, title held by the Alberto V, mentioned in the family tree, does not exist. Another made-up title. --Maragm (talk) 11:23, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. You're saying there is no House of Piña and the information is entirely fabricated? If so, this is quite a conspiracy. Spanishhistory created the page, User talk:129.219.21.2 added a list of family members, Frizzysparrow added a family crest, and 68.231.146.162 added more content.
The page does have a number of references. Let's look at the Foster translation of Chronicle first. I managed to find a copy online. It does mention a "Fernando Perez de Pina" as in the article. This doesn't really validate any of the content in the article though; the Chronicle is a long-form first-hand account that just seems to touch on the lives of aa few people named Pina. The other references are even less helpful. The Britannica article on the Foster is irrelevant; he's just the translator of the work above. I couldn't find any of the mentioned persons on the Hobbs website. I couldn't access the Instituto de Salazar y Castro article.
Overall, the references lend little credence to this house even existing. This is absurd; if this noble family exists, it should not be that hard to find a reference to it. However, I am still having trouble believing that the whole page is a hoax. Why would people take so much effort to make this up? BenKuykendall (talk) 19:54, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I find scattered references to a Barón de Benidoleig (different family) but absolutely none to Marqués de de Benidoleig. We don't have to decide whether it is a hoax or not: if they are that obscure they aren't notable. Agricolae (talk) 00:44, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I did find a couple of references on a Sancho de Pina (not Piña) who participated in the siege of Benilodeig and, like many others who also participated, was rewarded by the King with land, in this case, the town of Benilodeig, but not the title.
Also refs on Ximén Pérez de Pina who died before 1276 according to one of the sources (not 1340 as mentioned in the article) but no mention of a title. This reference mentions Fernando de Pina (p. 211), Sancho and Ximen Pérez de Pina (p. 212) as participating in the conquest of Valencia, but does not mention the title of the marquisate or that they were in any way related to each other.
So there is mention of these early “Pinas” but none that indicate that they were part of the same family and there is no mention that they were titled nobility.
Now, when it comes to the title and the titleholders, there is no reference whatsoever on a Marquisate of Benidoleig. If there were such references, we would find, for example, the publication of the “Real Carta de Sucesión (Royal charter of Succession) which must, by law, be published by the Ministry of Justice in Spain in the BOE (Official State Gazette). I have added this reference to the BOE in several articles such as here and, if this title were to exist, there would be references to the official notice on the succession.
In the “Present day” section of this article, it mentions that “His Excellency Don Alberto de Piña (1950-present) is a direct descendent of Sancho de Piña”. If that were the case, each of the filiations from Sancho de Pina down to this current titleholder, would have to be referenced. The references that were added are quite misleading since the Chronicle of James I of Aragon would only reference the early Pinas mentioned and their feats in the conquest of Valencia but would certainly not back up the claim of the title or any of the titleholders. The ref to Encyclopaedia Britanica does not include volume or page number so it seems to have been added just to fill in, the same with the last reference, a periodic publication; the url does not take us to a page with info on this title, only the cover of one of the volumes, without specifying in which volume and in what page we would find info on this title. So, in short, we have not one reference in this article that would back up the title or the titleholders.
Perhaps a checkuser would be required to confirm that all the users and IPs who participated in editing this article are distinct individuals and not the same person or members of the same family. As it stands now, this article should be deleted for lack of references and notability. --Maragm (talk) 05:19, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just looking at some of the users and IPs who contributed to this article, I find:
68.231.146.162 Only edited House of Piña, added “Madrid” to article on Duke of Alba, plus added Diego Andrés de Piña in 2012 Formula 3 Euro Series article, replacing Italian Raffaele Marciello. IP made this edit, for example, replacing Raffaele Marciello with Diego Andrés de Piña when reference does not mention Diego Andrés de Piña but Raffaele. Here, IP removes reference as he does in the following edit. Can’t access this page but Raffaele, rather tan Diego Andrés de Piña is mentioned in this news ítem. IP’s edits were later undone by another IP, adding the corresponding refs.
It is possible to check titles in this official page. In the box "Título", if you put Benidoleig, the only references is to the baron, title that still exists, with the current titleholder who has nothing to do with the Piñas. Also, if you insert Huesca (for claimed title of Count of Huesca), the only reply is for the duchy of Huescar (not Huesca), held by members of the House of Alba.
Summing it up, this appears to be a concerted effort by individuals or perhaps just one using IPs and other sockpuppets to promote this family, removing refs such as in the case of IP 68.231.146.162 to replace referenced individual with a member of this family.

I've reviewed the past AfD (and the article) and I am not convinced this person passes WP:NBIO. A singe 'in-depth' source is what reads like a press release about her wedding: [20]. Then there are some sources that mention her briefly in passing, as in she has been cited/mentioned by others - hardly surprising, particularly considering she was a spokeswoman.

One, the characters list fails WP:GNG. No sources except sourcing the show itself. It has been tagged with ((notability)) and ((no references)). Zero RS published on such characters. I don't even think MS itself could meet notability guidelines - so does the characters with a separate article all together. Furthermore, I have seen pages on much more notable fictional works that don't have list of ## characters pages, such as Clifford the Big Red Dog (TV series). Also see Talk:Helen Lorraine.
Second - the list is a frequent WP:SOCK target, especially from sockpuppets of User:Simulation12 and User:JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat. The sockpuppets believe the characters are notable, when they clearly aren't. Both have caused massive disruption on the page. Letting the article remain separate is WP:DNFTT.
Furthermore, in the Spanish and Portuguese articles, there is a massive list of characters in the article about the show itself. I think the episodes list can stay separate because the episodes are slightly more notable and have reliable second-party sources.
Delete. Every show that exists does not automatically need a standalone character list; this is done only in cases where the characters have some degree of real-world notability that can be referenced to reliable source coverage about the characters, and not just in-universe to the show itself. Exponentially far more TV shows don't have one of these than do — and the difference between a show that gets one of these and a show that doesn't is not a matter of "any show gets to have one as soon as an editor actually takes the time to make one", but of "shows only get one if their characters actually receive real-world coverage and analysis of their significance". That latter test is failed here big time. And there's not even much point to merging it, since the level of detail present here is patently excessive, and wouldn't add much value to the show's article — the show's article does need to have a smaller, much more trimmed-back cast list readded to it, but it doesn't need a wholesale cut and paste of everything in this page.

Comment The article as it is, is a mess. No offense to who created it but they probably aren’t a native English speaker; it looks like it went to Google Translate first. I’ve written more than enough fashion model articles to know how it goes. Reliable sources must be independent of the subject and significant coverage. Two “model wall”-style interviews where they ask 10 short random questions really don’t cut it, and I know that from experience. If it was a long form interview or the model is actually in a magazine being interviewed that’s a different (notable) story. Mentions are not notability.Trillfendi (talk) 04:27, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote Amanda Murphy, Nadja Bender, Frederikke Sofie, Slick Woods, Ebonee Davis, and Anok Yai’s English version manually in my native English and there have been absolutely no grammar complaints in the entire year(s) that I wrote them—until you came here out of spite. 🤔They’re written in Simple English. Anok Yai’s French version was simply created with Wikipedia’s Translation Service through Articles of Creation which I assume relies on Google Translate, the world’s worst translation service. All one has to do is press the box and it translates automatically and I assumed someone else would clean up the mess. But I did go back to manually correct such glaring errors. When I spoke of my experience in creating model articles I clearly meant I know what sources don’t pass notability. The clause was obviously depenedent on the next sentence not the previous sentence. It has nothing to do with ±the article’s grammatical quality which one could easily fix. This article doesn’t even mention her biggest jobs with sources. Before I proposed deletion it mentioned none of her work at all. Adwoa Aboah is now one of the biggest models in the world and before I recreated her article someone else had deleted it years ago.

The achievement of obtaining a top level post thanks to this kind of nepotism has to be taken into consideration and the sources have to be analysed. The other joint managing director is also a family member. Notability is not inherited unlike good jobs in family businesses. Dom from Paris (talk) 13:01, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Really? I give you Chelsea Clinton! Notable purely because daddy ran a notable entity and unlike Ramakrishnan not actually involved with it in any way in a management capacity! And she's just one of many examples. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:59, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, really. The Chelsea Clinton page is without a shadow of a doubt sufficiently sourced which this one is not. Your keep argument WP:Clearly notable was purely based on his role in the company and not on the sources and is normally one of the !votes that should be avoided in Afd. Not all managers and even CEOs of notable companies are themselves notable. This person fails WP:ANYBIO and as there are no topic specific guidelines for business people they have to meet GNG and I do not believe this person does. I checked out likely outcomes for business people WP:NBUSINESSPEOPLE and there is nothing that suggests his role (even if it weren't obtained through nepotism) is a surefire keep so sources have to be looked at in depth. Dom from Paris (talk) 09:14, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yet you're arguing above that people shouldn't have pages just because they get roles due to their family connections! -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:43, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You may have misunderstood me, that was not what I was saying. I was saying in reply to your !vote that a top-level manager. Of an enormous company. Clearly notable enough for an article. is that a top role in a company is less notable if obtained by nepotism and we shouldn't just imagine that because he is a joint managing director that he must have got there because of his capabilites experience and hard work which may generate coverage. But all of that is of no consequence because managing directors don't get a free pass to notability however big the company, what counts are the sources. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED--Dom from Paris (talk) 09:57, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, I didn't misunderstand you at all. I just don't agree with you ("Not all managers and even CEOs of notable companies are themselves notable"; I agree that not all managers are notable by a long shot, but CEOs are, and a managing director is a CEO, of course). And I was pointing out that we have countless articles on people who are only notable because of their families. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:09, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think he is CEO of this company as per the organigram of the company here. [23]. The CEO is a chap called Captain Leslie Reis and despite what you suggest I don't think all CEOs are notable as far as I can see unless there are notability guidelines that I have missed, could you point me to them please. Have you had a chance to look at the sources BTW? --Dom from Paris (talk) 14:36, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
BTW when I said "Not all managers and even CEOs of notable companies are themselves notable" I was paraphrasing WP:BUSINESSPERSONOUTCOME which says:
Presidents, chef executive officers and chairpersons of the boards of directors of companies listed in the Fortune 500 (US) or the FTSE 100 Index (UK) are generally kept as notable.
Biographical material on heads and key figures of smaller companies which are themselves the subject of Wikipedia articles are sometimes merged into those articles and the biographies redirected to the company.

Non-notable subject that does not meet WP:BASIC. Coverage found in searches for independent, reliable sources is limited to name checks and very short passing mentions. The article is entirely reliant upon primary sources, which do not serve to establish notability. Primary sources and unreliable sources found in various WP:BEFORE searches are not usable to establish notability. North America1000 14:16, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Kikuchi rates mention in The Encyclopedia of Latter-day Saint Church History, which is seletive in only including articles on General Authorities the editors felt were important enough to cover, it does not include articles on all general authorities. The Mauss and Bringhurst sources add two scholarly sources that mention Kikuchi. This link to a Dialogue entry [25] shows statements by Kikuchi being engaged with in a scholarly, indepdent setting. Lengthen TYour Stride makes multiple mentions of Kikuchi [26] providing contextualized analysis of his call as a general authority. He also is mentioned in R. Lanier Britsch's history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Asia, although I could not say how substantially. He gets mention here [27] in Regional Studies in Latter-day Saint history: The Pacific Isles, edited by Reid L. Neilson, a very respected historian, although it is not a long mention. On the whole this adds up to notability, and I am not convined that we would not find more if we had adequate access to 1970s newspapers from the time of his call as a general authority.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:27, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As a tax-exempt religious organization, the LDS Church avoids directly owning for-profit ventures, because this would threaten its tax-exempt status, so it uses the church-owned Deseret Management Corporation as a holding and management company to own and manage for-profit ventures, one of which is the Deseret Book Company, which publishes the Encyclopedia of Latter-Day Saint History. It's all highly interrelated with the LDS Church, making it a primary source. North America1000 05:23, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, several university press books by notable scholars discuss his role in the Church, and the fact that he is the first native Asian to be called as a general authority of the LDS Church:
Reid L. Neilson, Taking the Gospel to the Japanese, 1901-2001, 2010, University of Utah Press, where he is quoted or discussed on pp. 327, 352, 353, 354, 358, 373, & 375.
More sclolarly sourcing appears to be available in gScholar with keywords (there is a notable scientist with the same name.) I searched ""Yoshihiko Kikuchi" + LDS [28], but there are probably better keywords to use. E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:12, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
for example, Numano, Jiro. “Hasty Baptisms in Japan: The Early 1980s in the LDS Church.” Journal of Mormon History, vol. 36, no. 4, 2010, pp. 18–40. JSTOR, JSTOR, [www.jstor.org/stable/23291122]. is a close examination of Kikuchi's leadership in Japan, it is highly critical of what Numano describes as a competition among regions to win converted, which Nuamo describes as having negative consequences. I do not pretend to have read all of these books, and I red only some of this article. But it sure looks to me as though subject meets WP:SIGCOV.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:37, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That Neilson reference looks odd. I think it's the title from the BYU Press 2006 edited volume but the publication info from Early Mormon Missionary Activities in Japan, 1901-1924 (which is unlikely to have Kikuchi information in it). If the reference is to the former, then there's a good chance those pages are the part written by Terry Nelson, who did an MA thesis on the church in Japan: [29]Bakazaka (talk) 05:34, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as subject meets WP:GNG. I have added text, sourced to the Numano article cited above, that provides another perspective and helps offset the hagiographic tendencies inherent in relying on church sources to write an article about a church leader. Bakazaka (talk) 23:39, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Looking at the sources, the Journal of Mormon History has had very limited distribution, thus a limited readership, according to World Cat here and here. An LDS member making good within the church, then being mentioned in a church history book and a Mormon encyclopedia, plus a 2-sentence mention on a page in Black and Mormon, a 184-page book, do not add up in establishing notability. Here is the actual mention in Black and Mormon: "The official church auspices were indicated by the keynote speaker, Elder Yoshihiko Kikuchi of the Seventy, a Japanese national. Incongruous as that may seem in a black LDS American gathering, Elder Kikuchi's remarks were very well received as sensitive and supportive." I reiterate: It continues to fail WP:GNG. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 03:34, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment –Thus far, only the Numano source, which I cannot access, appears to be usable to demonstrate notability. However, multiple independent sources that provide significant coverage are required, not just one. Below is a review of sources presented in this discussion. North America1000 14:06, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Primary source: According to WorldCat (here), this is not published by the University of Utah Press as stated above in the discussion. Rather, it is published by Brigham Young University Press, which is the university press of Brigham Young University. Brigham Young University is wholly owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Numano, Jiro. “Hasty Baptisms in Japan: The Early 1980s in the LDS Church.” Journal of Mormon History, vol. 36, no. 4, 2010, pp. 18–40. JSTOR, JSTOR, [www.jstor.org/stable/23291122].
I cannot access this source to assess the depth of coverage
The Encyclopedia of Latter-day Saint Church History
I consider this to be a primary source, per my analysis above in the discussion.
Comment excluding BYU Press books from being reliable sources because of the ownership of the university ignores the fact that BYU press seeks to be a reliable scholarly publication and publish scholarly works. Its ownership structure does not disqualify it from being a signifcant reliable secondary source any more than the ownership structure of Catholic University of America or the University of Notre Dame disqualifies all publications of their university presses from being reliable sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 11:07, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - besides the Deseret story about the temple in Japan, where Kikuchi's birthplace is mentioned, there's virtually no biographical coverage of him in current or a Google search that I can find. I did find a lawsuit against the church that he was part of, albeit in a minor role. [[32]] Most of the background info in the article now is unsourced or stems from a primary source (a dead link interview podcast). If there was some accepted policy that says a general authority is automatically notable, like a top league sports player, that would be a different story. The general authority article itself a bit weak on sourcing, using many primary sources, with the Mormon Encyclopedia also doing heavy sourcing duty. Unless consensus is that being general authority itself is enough for a notability pass, this has to be a delete based on WP:GNG. TimTempleton(talk)(cont) 22:43, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is the University of Tokyo Press a RS for books about the government of Japan? What about Manchester University Press? It is housed within the university (always in one of the university's treasured, historic buildings,) it is "a department of the University of Manchester", all decisions "must be approved by the Editorial Committee, which is composed of academics based at the University of Manchester.". The Univerisity of Manchester is a public university. Is it a reliable source for books about British politicians? The British government? British political history? to me, it looks as though editors are setting up standards for the Mormon Church that are not applied by Wikipedia for books about other institutions published by university presses that those institutions control.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:33, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
One easy test of independence is whether or not the press publishes books that are critical of the parent organization. I would expect to see books from the presses you name that are critical of the government or of politicians. So a question (probably for RS Talk rather than an AfD on one person) is whether or not BYU Press or Deseret or whatever publishes books that are critical of the church. Bakazaka (talk) 01:17, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Irrelevant. (not to mention highly subjective. Look at WP:IIS, which states, "Interest in a topic becomes vested when the source (... the publisher, etc.) develops any financial or legal relationship to the topic." By our own standards, if we rule that books by Brigham Young University Press cannot be used as sources for LDS-relate dtopice, we must also rule that no book by Manchester University Press can be used to source books on the government of the U.K. , and similarly with all other University Presses with financial or legal relationships to government sponsored universities.

The subject is, I believe, Usenet-famous, and the article was created in 2006 when that might have been enough, but he is not actually notable by our current standards (neither WP:PROF nor WP:GNG and neither for his mathematics research nor for his work on musical tuning systems). In this, I believe I am in agreement with Galassi (talk·contribs), but rather than properly testing notability by an AfD Galassi has instead been attempting to make a permanent shrine to Smith's non-notability by stripping all sources and details from the article and then sticking as many cleanup banners as possible into the corpse that remains. I think we're better off just deleting it, and that the sources we have are not in-depth enough to prove notability, but it would be a mistake to judge this by looking at the stripped-down version of the article as left by Galassi. Instead, the version that we should be judging is this one, before Galassi started stripping it and attaching bogus COI banners to it. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:44, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning delete for reasons pretty much spelled out in the nomination. That said, the stripping-out of content was not helpful, and the edit summaries were misleading. The sources removed in this edit do not mention Smith "only in footnotes", and the one removed here mentions more than "conversations". That source actually says the following:
Though we had worked out many of its details before his appearance in the community, special thanks goes to Gene Ward Smith for applying modern mathematics (namely, the field of Grassmann, or exterior, or multilinear, algebra) to this subject, placing it on a firmer foundation and allowing for many problems to be solved and new results to be obtained.
This edit removed a "dead" link without checking to see if there was a live version. The edit summary also says that the source provides "no notability proof", which is true, but not every source in a biography has to go to proving the subject's wiki-notability: some of them are there to provide details about the subject's work. In this case, the reference was a primary source in a context where that would be unobjectionable (were the subject wiki-notable). Similarly, this edit removed material because it was cited to "usenet refs", when the sources were actually OEIS entries and a collection of Usenet posts gathered together by a mathematician who judged them worth saving. Not great sources, but not as worthless as random posts on a random message board, either. This edit removed content on the grounds that there was "no mention of any Smith" on the cited page, but a page one click away mentions a Gene Smith, who sure looks to be the same Gene Smith. Having gone through all this, I'm still not quite seeing a pass of WP:PROF, but the spurious removal of content made that evaluation significantly more of a hassle than it should have been.

Comment He appears to have been friends with Steven Spielberg in high school as described in this book (which is clearly a reliable source).

Article on an 11-year old artist. Most of the coverage centres around her work as a four-year old artist. I'll admit that I am nominating this because I do not think we should be publishing articles about the accomplishments of four year olds-- that business should be left to garbage tabloids. (There might be a fundamental argument to be made here: two to four year olds are generally not notable for what they do in life.) That said, there is coverage, but it all revolves around her work as a two to four year old, and I am going to say that is BLP1E or similar as a nomination rationale. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 13:36, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I was surprised, but this is not a single event. Subject is in very easy to find reliable secondary sources in 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and at least as recently as May 2018, and about her ongoing work. Not sure how much WP:BEFORE was done. Aoziwe (talk) 14:08, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not sure what age has to do with it. If a 74 year old had taken up painting for the first time at 70 and had received the same degree of coverage in reliable secondary sources, and recognition, for whatever reason, then there would be no issue with notability? Aoziwe (talk) 14:24, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
False comparison. a 74 year old has a lot of experience, and presumably an education. A two to four year old mostly walks, giggles, laughs, cries, throws temper tantrums, has no formal education and a limited command of language. This story of childhood artistic genius has been often repeated, and it's usually the parents doing the work. It's just silly to think a four year old makes notable art. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 14:28, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, it does not matter what we think (WP:POV / WP:IDONTLIKEIT ). We are governed by what is available in reliable secondary sources, and it looks like this one easily gets over the line. Mozart was five? Aoziwe (talk) 10:24, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notability rather than age is the policy-driven metric for a subject's inclusion on Wikipedia.

Delete The article should be deleted for WP:BLP issues (not explicit violations but the spirit of these guidelines) because its subject is a young child. We shouldn't be publishing such information about relatively obscure children such as her or arguably help parents exploit their own kids. Newshunter12 (talk) 06:16, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I can't help but notice that all keep votes in this discussion are based on policy, while all delete votes (and the nomination itself) are basically WP:IDONTLIKEIT. If one's argument is that the article has BLP issues, those issues should be indicated explicitly—otherwise, how can we discuss them? Armadillopteryxtalk 09:36, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have nothing against art or artists (and I don't think that the other delete voters do either). This article is exploitative in nature towards a young child for financial gain for the parents and just because a handful of other articles might have similar issues doesn't mean two wrongs suddenly make a right. It violates the spirit of WP:BLP, if not presently the letter. Newshunter12 (talk) 10:07, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think my main issue with this is that statements like This article is exploitative in nature towards a young child for financial gain for the parents are purely WP:POV—and those are not the sort of sentiments around which we build an encyclopedia. It does not strike me as true that this article is exploitative, and such has certainly not been demonstrated with evidence. It seems problematic to use that assertion as an assumption on which to base an argument. Armadillopteryxtalk 10:38, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The article exalts the child's art skills and reputation, and has multiple links to the "childs" personal website where you can buy "their" work for a hefty price. It's a well known issue that people or others on their behalf create Wikipedia pages about themselves to build personal brands or to market products/companies. Do you think that young child ever consented to creating that website hawking "her" products or this article, which have both existed since she was no older then four years old? By the way, I checked and indeed this article has been linked to "her" website which hawks "her" merchandise since the very day you created this article in 2011. I am not accusing you of wrongdoing, I am just pointing out it has always been child exploitation. Newshunter12 (talk) 11:13, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I suggest that when organisations like the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, who regulary and frequently win awards for the standard of their journalism, screen programs like this as per this and this that the likelihood of culpable exploitation is minimal, as too is the "parents doing the work". (I have not seen the series though.) If there is any exploitation or parent cheating then why not provide the reliable secondary reference for it and put that appropriately in the article. Aoziwe (talk) 11:09, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
PS With this level and type of already national public profile, apparently with full cooperation, I am not aware of what the BLP concerns might be? Aoziwe (talk) 11:14, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This article, since the day it was created in 2011 (she was only four years old), has been linked to the "child's" personal website which hawks "her" expensive merchandise and she's been "personally" raking in countless thousands of dollars for since she was in diapers. You don't see any child exploitation red flags with that? On a different note, I have seen such a special (don't remember if it was the same one - it was something I saw in an art class years ago) about this girl and it noted there were plenty of critics about who was actually making the work. Newshunter12 (talk) 11:34, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't it common (borderline default) practice to link an artist's/musician's/etc. official website in the infobox and external links section? I'm the one who put it there, and for no other reason than that that is my understanding of how to create an article on a subject like this. If that's where the exploitation concern arises for you, why not just propose removing that link? And, yes, like all artists, she receives criticism of her work—and that is discussed in the article. Armadillopteryxtalk 11:48, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think this article fundamentally violates the spirit of WP:BLP and normal artistic criticism is not the same thing as obvious child exploitation and accusations of using a toddler still in diapers to push your own work onto the market as hers. Few know this, but the original Winnie the Pooh series in real life was a terrible form of child exploitation of an innocent little boy by his parents for their own enrichment, and it greatly damaged him as a person. I hope this kid fares better. Newshunter12 (talk) 12:05, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I fully agree that exploiting a child for any reason is a horrible thing to do. But I frankly see no reason why having a Wikipedia article about this subject—about whom many articles in high-profile news sources exist and continue to be produced—is exploitative. This person has received and continues to receive significant coverage for her work (regardless of what anyone thinks about it), the article is written in NPOV based on that coverage, and it could easily be expanded with new sources. Sure, some parents exploit their children, but I fail to see how this article does anything remotely like that. Armadillopteryxtalk 12:15, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For my part, I see this article as a furtherance and promotion of her parents' exploitation and we will have to agree to disagree about its place on Wikipedia. Thank you for keeping the debate civil on this contentious topic. Newshunter12 (talk) 12:21, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion criteria for Wikipedia articles are not based on direct permission from the subject; that treads heavily into WP:COI territory. Inclusion criteria are based on WP:NOTABILITY and coverage in WP:SECONDARY sources, which this subject clearly passes. Doesn't matter how old she is; doesn't matter why she has received this large amount of public coverage; doesn't matter what we as editors opine about the legitimacy of her career. There is a substantive collection of news articles about her spanning at least the period from 2009 to 2018, which means she meets our guidelines.
Which category of BLP violation do you propose she is 11 and couldn't manage a "career" as outlined in this article or reasonably give permission for personal information of this kind to be divulged falls under? Armadillopteryxtalk 15:51, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It fails so much at WP:BLP its not worth discussing. Szzuk (talk) 16:03, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is a non-answer that does not give reason to believe you can actually point out a specific BLP claim. Labeling one's position a BLP concern and then providing a strictly WP:IDONTLIKEIT justification strikes me as either confused or disingenuous.

Comment I'm not sure there are WP:PAG arguments to delete; my vote is a combination of the principles behind WP:BLP and WP:IAR. No minor whose notability rests entirely on making paintings between the ages of 2 and 4 should be notable, even if the "has been mentioned in 2 newspapers" threshold is met.

As far as I can tell it is not invasive, it is not titillating, it is not solacious, it does not reveal any personal details that are not aleady very readily available in multiple places. I do not see how it supports commercial interests any more than we allow for any other creative person. I do not see how it encourages exploitation of children. (While I have been around wikipedia for a while, I am still learning my way so am happy for anyone to offer advice either on talk here or on my talk if they wish to.) We in wikipedia cannot promote anyone. We are fully dependent on them being already noted in independent reliable sources (IRS). I too struggle with the concept of a 22 month old producing their own art work. But as stated, we are relient on what the IRS tell us. However, I have also read in detail a selection of sources quoted in the article, and I believe I can safely say that the current articles does NOT fully represent a balanced view of art critique stated in those articles, and hence the current article fails WP:NPOV. While I still believe the subject is notable, and does not violate BLP, it does need some work to fix NPOV, but this can be readily done from sources already listed.

Comment I largely second Aoziwe's comment. ThatMontrealIP and I have made some cursory edits to the article to remove prose that sounded POV. This was the first article I created as a new editor, and re-reading it now, I see I mimicked the laudatory tone of some of the sources in a way that I have since learned to notice and avoid. I think that the article can readily be expanded with balanced critique and other material that has been published since 2011. Armadillopteryxtalk 07:57, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
Aelita Andre (ey-LEE-tuh AHN-drey) is a young abstract artist from Australia. When she was two years old, her paintings were in an art show. People who saw her paintings did not realize she was so young. They were very impressed by her art. By the time she was four, her paintings often sold for as much as $10,000 each.
Aelita likes to add objects to her paintings. She has added feathers, plastic figures, or masks to some of her artwork. She has even added glitter.
The youngest internationally recognized painter in the world is six-year-old Aelita Andre. Aelita lives in Australia and has been painting since she was two.
Her work has sold for thousands of dollars, and her shows regularly sell out. Check her out at www.aelitaandre.com.
Underline the correct words (Ø means "zero article").
The colourful world of Aelita Andre
Aelita Andre is a six-year-old artist from Melbourne, Australia. She loves colours, and her paintings are bright and wild. She sometimes adds small toys to her pictures, such as plastic dinosaurs and butterflies.
The young painter has already earned more than £100,000, and people have described her as "the youngest professional artist in the world". When Aelita was five, her work was on show in an art gallery in New York.
Aelita's mother says, "You know how young children paint for a few minutes and then lose interest? When Aelita was two, she often painted for an hour without stopping."

The book notes:
Many artists have to wait until they are dead or very old to be appreciated. Not Aelita Andre who in 2011 had her very own solo exhibition at the Agora Gallery in Soho, New York at the age of four. Some of her paintings in the show sold of $27,000.
The subject has been covered in books (primarily for children).
The subject cannot be considered low-profile because she has received persistent coverage in over 50 sources in 15 countries over a nearly ten-year period.
Delete There is no doubt that through the efforts of Aelita's parents, she received media attention in 2009 and 2011. This individual and situation falls under several policies that when considered in conjunction with one another, provides an argument that the community must make a decision based upon not only PAG reasons but an additional moral and ethical responsibility when relating to children. In particular, looking at WP:BLP1E, WP:LASTING, and WP:SUSTAINED. In the 7 years since, she has not received any further significant attention with respect to recent work clearly suggesting little historical importance beyond the events of 2009 and 2011.
If reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual. -WP:SUSTAINED
One or two events is contemplated in BLP when considering whether an article may harm an individual. In 2009 and 2011, Aelita was aged 2 and 4 respectively. We must take this under consideration when examining the need for privacy, something central to BLP. Finally, if you read the lead section of WP:BLP, "the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment". Reading the New York Times and TIME comments about her artwork provide enough reasons as to why we need to do the right thing here and delete the article and content about a two and four year old.

Delete essentially tabloid material , not encyclopedic material. There's been a number of WP articles on young people with accomplishments that would be non notable if they were not young and good looking -- typically high school age or undergraduates who happened to be working in a lab from which a moderately important paper was published. From a newspaper feature editor's point of view, they make for good articles. Extending this to yet earlier ages for accomplishments not notable if they were not so young/ I remind everyone that a prodigy is someone who performs on the same level as an adult professional, not just one who performs better than expected for their age. . The best of the many possible WP rules that can be used to remove an article like this is NOT PROMOTION. DGG ( talk ) 19:56, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Closing this as keep rather than NC because the nominating statement doesn't provide any policy-based reasons for deletion. There's no indication that WP:BEFORE was performed, and most of the complaint is about another editor without addressing any inherent notability issues of the subject itself. -- RoySmith(talk) 15:12, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Cycle is in progress and I'm not seeing issues that aren't dealt with through common warning and reverting or as has already been done, semi-protection. Also, the 'article creator' hasn't edited the article at all since creating it and I'm seeing nothing at all suggesting any sign of socking by them, nor any reach-out to them besides templating this nomination their way. Also, you can add sources yourself, so I don't know why you haven't done so rather than just reverting these contribs with a brusque 'come back when you have a source'. WP:AGF is needed, not deletion. Nate•(chatter) 14:27, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of Candace Whittemore Lovely exhibitions[edit]

Limited merge. A few of the more significant exhibitions can be included in the main article but this great big list has to go. --DanielRigal (talk) 13:08, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have suggestions as to which notable exhibitions (with citations) might be included? Vexations (talk) 16:37, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Given the lack of information it is hard to know which of the exhibitions are most notable without a lot of research. My thought would be to exclude all but the solo exhibitions and then to exclude all the remaining entries where the venue does not have an article. That would leave a list of solo exhibitions at notable galleries. Those would be candidates for mentioning in the main article. Find an independent review of such an exhibition in a reliable source and I'd call it a good candidate for inclusion. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:08, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I turned this version of the page into a redirect because of poor sources that fail WP:CORPDEPTH, with the main source a pamphlet promoting Graz as a place of business. There's no indication that the company meets WP:CORP. The decision has been challenged on the talk page. The additional sources presented there are "market analysis reports" of $1,995 to $3,999 per piece, one of which doesn't seem to exist and another of which I doubt is reliable, leaving us with a Gartner report that apparently exists and discusses Ranorex in some detail (though it's unclear what it says; I don't have access). One good source is not enough to establish notability. Bringing it here for a discussion per WP:BLAR: Redirect to Ranorex Studio (unless that is also found to not be notable, in which case both should be deleted, but that's another issue). Huon (talk) 09:56, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak KeepThe gutting of the article by removing "lots of unreliably sourced, promotional content" was fine. What was left is enough for the company to meet WP:GNG. I reverted to the previous state (with the poor sources) for now, but I could see the article go back to the state listed above. Ultimately, the article should be expanded to discuss the company's products and anything else that can be reliably sourced. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:57, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The existence of analyst reports including from Gartner and Forrester meets the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 17:33, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
HighKing, I don't see Forrester cited in the article. Would you mind improving the page by summarizing what Forrester says about the company? Huon (talk) 09:44, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Huon, it is probably better for subject-matter experts to add this type of material to the article. I simply applied the criteria for establishing notability - two sources required. Since two analyst reports from two different analyst firms are available, this topic meets the criteria. It is not appropriate for post analyst reports here but my Google searching has turned up more than enough. HighKing++ 17:52, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
HighKing, I have to disagree: The Forrester report mostly is a review of one specific product and thus could be used as a source for the article on that product, but doesn't provide much, if anything, about the company beyond the fact that they got bought, routine coverage that does not help establish notability per WP:CORPDEPTH. Does the Gartner report have anything more substantial about the company? I don't have access to that one. Huon (talk) 18:17, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Huon Perhaps you're reading a different report? The one I have is entitled "The Forrester Wave™: Omnichannel Functional Test Automation Tools, Q3 2018, The 15 Providers That Matter Most And How They Stack Up". 24 pages long and each vendor gets approx 25%-33% of a page. It isn't routine. It is significant and independent. HighKing++ 11:15, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@HighKing: It's a review of one specific product - the product, not the vendor, gets much of that third of a page. For some vendors, eg Microsoft, there's a little about company strategy and how that impacts the product, but not for Ranorex (beyond "they got bought" and some speculation about a possible future). I summarized here what it says about Ranorex Studio. What does it say about the company itself? I didn't see anything relevant. You're welcome to edit the company article and improve it, but I couldn't find anything useful in the report. As an aside, "independent" is debatable since Forrester apparently only contacts customers that have been proposed by the vendor, but that's not relevant here since even then too few Ranorex customers replied for Forrester to say anything about their reaction.
