I'm not convinced this list actually reflects what it says it does. Most of these are just...random things that young people did, like being granted stuff from the royal purse or travelling to sleep with their older boyfriend. Maybe the stuff about age of consent and social media use down towards the bottom could be construed as having to do with "young peoples rights", but otherwise this is more a list of trivia than coherent content.

I'd say we should merge anything relevant to like, child welfare in France or something, but we don't have an article on the topic by any title that I've found. ♠PMC(talk) 23:00, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Declined PROD. My original rationale is the basis for this AfD; "Yet another thoroughly non-notable oldster. 4 obituaries and one local news article is nowhere close to surpassing routine coverage, and simply breathing for longer than anyone else in an arbitrarily defined geographical area is not inherently notable."

so what; there are many people interested in the lives of the super elderly… In other words, you like it? Guess what, I like it too! That's not an argument against deletion. — JFG talk 22:02, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's the whole point; the GRG and its fans used Wikipedia for years as a dumping ground for sub-stubs such as this and the one you linked, and the early discussions on them had so many (and many of them with an obvious COI) SPAs that they're effectively useless for determining consensus on this matter. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 13:01, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
However you have missed the point - we have on Wikipedia a wikiproject devoted to this so there are users who believe that this should be in Wikipedia - as the dictionary says encyclopedia says "a book or set of books giving information on many subjects or on many aspects of one subject and typically arranged alphabetically." Centurions is the subject, and the centurions that are on here is the aspects.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 13:24, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And for years they used Wikipedia as a dumping ground for their pet project and ran roughshod over our policies on notability. It's not whether a few obsessive fanboys wanting to promote their organization think something is notable, it's whether reliable, secondary sources do; in this case, the near-total absence of them shows this particular oldster is not. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 15:15, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included is the wording of WP:BIO which means the guidelines are not set in stone. Wikipedia is a global project that will see different people have different ideas on what should and should not be on here. The WP:GNG is not a policy - its General Notability Guidance and as such is managed on a policy of wikipedias members making decisions. If Administrators thought the other Centurions did not meet the requirements they would have been removed. It will be down to the administrator to make a judgement - this is not a vote just a talking shop to put our opinion across.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 16:05, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Side track on the term "oldster", not helpful to determining article fate
The following discussion has been closed by JFG. Please do not modify it.
  • Comment Could people please refrain from using ageist derogatory terms like yet another oldster. It is disrepectful. I have no opinion whether or not this article is kept or deleted, but this ongoing debasing terminology on several of the AfD is unencyclopedic, if not bigoted. Netherzone (talk) 23:35, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    It's AfD, not mainspace. And trying to find a bit of levity in this all would do everyone some good, it's how I manage to keep at it after navigating several years of this toxic environment. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 00:04, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    "Levity" is irrelevant when it comes to sexism, ageism, or racism - Wikiettique still applies. Bigotry is not a "joke". It does not matter if it is situated in AfD or not. AfD is a public space. What is particularly telling regarding these recent incidents of ageism is how the terminology shifted from the more respectful "exceptional longevity" to the derogatory term "oldster".

    User:The Blade of the Northern Lights - See Wikipedia's definition of Pejorative suffix - specifically the entry in the English section - "oldster".

    You'd think a university professor would know better than to rely on Wikipedia as a source. Even Wikipedia doesn't rely on Wikipedia as a source. Try a good dictionary. EEng 00:00, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Respectfully, I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill with your criticism of that term and claims of prejudice, and it would have been better to talk to the applicable editor on their personal talk page, if you felt there was a problem with their word use, instead of spamming AfD's with the same complaint. This topic area has also had at least 10 years of controversy and I don't think once has it ever been over that word. Newshunter12 (talk) 05:35, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Greetings User:Newshunter12 Sorry you may have misundertood my intentions.

I responded to this particularly brazen show of dopiness at [1]. By the way, Netherzone, you need to know that ascribing bigotry and so on to other editors without knowing what fuck you're talking about is a personal attack. EEng 00:00, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a film director, whose claims to notability are referenced entirely to junk sourcing. The references here include IMDb (three times), Instagram posts (twice), a YouTube video, his own self-published website, a directory listing of his record as a baseball player at the high school level, and a piece of user-generated content on medium.com -- none of which are reliable or notability-supporting sources. And of the two sources that actually represent media coverage, both are covering him solely in the context of building stuff in his back yard when he was a teenager, and even one of those is just a short bit about him in the editor's letter on the masthead page of a minor special-interest magazine, not substantive coverage about him in a major media outlet. So these sources are failing right across the board to make him notable enough for a Wikipedia article -- it's 80 per cent sources that can't support notability at all, and 20 per cent sources that aren't covering him in a noteworthy context.

THIS ARTICLE DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR DELETION — Preceding unsigned comment added by MatthewFayer (talkcontribs) 15:50, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This editor who is proposing the deletion of this article believes he or she has significant points, except for the fact that they are entirely bias. He or she begins the dispute using the term "Junk Sourcing" which is a personal stance taken entirely from the opinion of this editor, with no given points. This editor took very little time to truly assess what these sources are, and the reason why these sources were used.

This editor begins by addressing issues from a personal standpoint, not reading the articles and leaving out the bigger picture. The editor proposing the deletion quotes "a directory listing of his record as a baseball player at the high school level" In the article this source, in no way was referring to the notability of this individual as baseball player, but rather further sourcing that this individual "graduated from Canton High School".

Another quote from the editor "just a short bit about him in the editor's letter on the masthead page of a minor special-interest magazine" again this source was not in any way intended to reference his notability of a director, but further establishing that he did indeed have a passion for art and creation at a young age.

The editor also quotes "it's 80 per cent sources that can't support notability at all, and 20 per cent sources that aren't covering him in a noteworthy context" This editor is taking the amount of sources listed and using that to determine "without even reading them" that they are not credible.

There are countless number or wikipedia pages that establish notability using 3 or less articles including IMDb and online publications. This article just happens to use 11 of them to further establish the notability of every sentence in the bio.

I am not claiming this individual to be Steven Spielberg, however Eddie Zajdel is known for what he does in the film industry. This article is explaining in an unbiased way who Eddie Zajdel is and what he has done. This clearly fits the requirement for Wikipedia. This article uses 11 sources to insure the notably of every word written in the article.   

Wikipedia quotes "sources may encompass published works in any form and media, and in any language" just because this editor in his or her opinion dislikes the articles used to determine notability, does not mean in any way that they do not establish notability. This editors proposed deletion article was poorly written with no concept, which demonstrates to me that he or she did not take the time to look deeper into the reasons these sources were used, and the true concept of this page.

This article is not the strongest article ever created on Wikipedia, but just because an editor briefly reads the article, reads none of the sources, makes irrelavent points personally assessing this individual, and fails to take the time to look deeper into the reasons why they were used is not in ANY WAY a reason for an article to be deleted.

MatthewFayer (talk) 15:48, 2 November 2018 (UTC) Note to closing admin: MatthewFayer (talkcontribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD. [reply]

References for the notability of a person must be reliable source coverage in media, such as newspapers or magazines or books, which represent editorial content about him by people other than himself, and which are covering him in the context of the thing that's being claimed as his reason for having an encyclopedia article. A person's notability cannot be stacked onto directories like IMDb or a high school sports database, or their own self-published websites or social networking accounts — and if the reason why he "should" have a Wikipedia article is that he makes films, then human interest coverage which supports where he went to high school but says nothing whatsoever about his work as a filmmaker does not constitute support for notability either. The rule is not that a person automatically qualifies to have a Wikipedia article as long as the things it says are referenced just anywhere — only certain specific types of sources count as valid support for a person's notability, and none of the references here are the correct kind.

Dear Netherzone:
  • The "it" is wherever you need to put the footwear (not "footware", which would be something like items of commerce made from feet, I guess) to restrain yourself from spouting further nonsense.
  • You do misunderstand. Article space constitutes the encyclopedia we're working on (if we weren't wasting our time on this absurd debate over imagined disrespect, of course); this is project space.
  • This has nothing to do with "cultural standpoints" (apparently a phrase meaning "I freely assign significance to things according to personal whim") but rather with you not doing your homework. Some terms have ambiguous meanings or shades of connotation, but this isn't one of them. Since you're a "University professor and administrator" I would think you'd know how to look things up on your own, but since I'm in a generous mood here're the OED definitions for oldster:
1. Nautical. A midshipman who has served for over four years. Cf. youngster
2. A person who is no longer a youth or novice; an elderly or experienced person.
Now you tell me: in a discussion of persons 110 years of age or older, what's "bigoted" about "no longer a youth... elderly or experienced"?
  • The item you should grip is reality; that should help you release your ridiculous pretended sensitivity over made-up offenses.
Anything else I can clarify for you, Mr. or Ms. "cultural worker" (and I'm trying not to laugh at that as a label self-applied)? Next time, as my junior high school shop teacher used to say, make sure brain is engaged before putting mouth (or pen, or keyboard) in gear, and especially before spamming the same knee-jerk scolding into three (THREE!) different AfDs after apparently taking zero (ZERO!) time to find out what you're talking about.

There is something almost funny about a self-professed etiquette expert paying to have an article written about herself, in violation of perhaps not the letter of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, but certainly the spirit of WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. As for the letter of the policies and guidelines, the article contains a number of claims that cannot be verified by independent, reliable sources, and the coverage in some of the sources is not exactly significant. The BBC calls her "one of the country's leading image gurus", but fails to say much about her. I don't think the requirements of the WP:GNG are met. Vexations (talk) 17:24, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Vexations - Thank you for your Comments. Tami Lancut Leibovits is a notable person in her field as mentioned by the BBC. I've noted from your comments that additional verified, independent, reliable sources are needed. Besides the BBC, I've listed "Ynet" and "Haaretz" which are very important and significant news websites in Israel. I've also added as a reference a video Interview from the "Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation" (Hebrew subtitles available). Following your comments I've added another reference from Globes - a well known business Newspaper in Israel. I think that by the above references the requirements of the WP:GNG are met. If you believe that still additional resources are needed I'll add some more. Please let me know if you find any other issue in this article that you think should be fixed. Thanks again for your comments. Arielinson (talk) 21:57, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Arielinson,
  • [4] is not about the subject, but dedicates three sentences to her. That is not significant coverage.
The BBC coverage is a source for the fact that TLL is a person of significance. It is clearly mentioned there.the source is significant.Arielinson (talk) 09:43, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Arielinson, "significant coverage" refers to the source as the content of the article, not the author or the publisher. The BBC is considered a reliable source, but not everything they publish is "significant coverage". In this case, the BBC, a reliable source provided a trivial mention. Vexations (talk) 14:50, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • [5] I don't read Hebrew, but it looks like the only mention of the subject is a quote by her.
This Hebrew reference is saying that TLL is a consultant for business executives. The source is major Israeli newspaper. Arielinson (talk) 09:43, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Arielinson, So it really has nothing to offer other than "Tami Lancut-Leibowitz, an image and communications consultant for executives and businesspeople". That's not in-depth coverage. And it just repeats what's already been sourced to other sources. Adding references for the sake of increasing the number of references, especially in a paid article is unnecessary. Use only the best sources. If there is a better source that supports this claim, use that one. Vexations (talk) 14:57, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • [6] more quotes by the subject.
the quote "image consultant guru" is not a quote by the subject. It shows that the subject is of significance. Arielinson (talk) 09:43, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Arielinson, I was referring to the quotes provided by her. You seem to think that "image consultant and etiquette guru Tami Lancut Leibovitz, who has become a devoted viewer of the Knesset Channel in preparation of the new role and has been able to map the lawmakers' key problems" establishes that the subject is notable. It doesn't. It merely asserts that she is an etiquette guru. There's no analysis of what she's done, what kind of change she has effected or how her work has transformed Israeli society for example. Merely saying someone is something doesn't make it so. You also need to show it. Vexations (talk) 15:02, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • [7] is a video of the subject appearing on a television show
Indeed. the TV inteview from a major Israeli news channel shows that the subject is of significance thus the WP:GNG are met and the article should not be deleted.Arielinson (talk) 09:43, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • [8] is bylined DPA. I'm not surewho DPA refers to: Deutsche Presse-Agentur? but it's a promotional article that offers no critical assessment or analysis of the subjects contributions to thinking about etiquette.
again this article was published in a major Israeli Newspaper. It is a reliable source. Arielinson (talk) 09:43, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Arielinson, yes, we generally consider Haaretz a reliable source. That doesn't mean they don't occasionally publish material that offers no critical assessment or analysis, which is why my objection. Vexations (talk) 15:09, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • [9] is a blog, not a relibalesouce.
If you beleive this source is not needed it can be deleted. there is another reliable source instead. but I think it should be kept as another source even if it might be considered less credible. Arielinson (talk) 09:43, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • [10] is by the subject
I dont see a reason removing this source if othere reliable significant sources exist to support the article. Arielinson (talk) 09:43, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Arielinson, as pointed out above, we prefer to use the best available secondary source. If such a source exists, it should be used in stead of the primary source. Vexations (talk) 15:11, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In summary, there is no in-depth, significant coverage that is about her by independent, reliable sources. Vexations (talk) 01:43, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there is a "dpa" logo at the bottom of that article mentioned in bullet #5 above, and it matches the logo shown in the article about Deutsche Presse-Agentur. In the middle of that article I see "— Advertisement —", but I'm not sure whether this means that the whole article is an advertisement or not. —BarrelProof (talk) 02:29, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Vexations Following your helpful comments I've added another source which is an in -depth significant coverage about TLL by another reliable source - "Makor Rishon." Yet another major news site in Israel. I've also responded above to your comments about the sources. I think all sources shows that the subject of this article is of significance and thus this article should not be deleted from that WP:GNG reason. Arielinson (talk) 09:43, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Vexations First of all thank you for your comments and for your help in editing the article. I've noticed that next to the statement "The institute provides consultation services on etiquette for local and international clients such as business executives and government officials." you added "not in the citation given". In the citations I've listed it is clearly mentioned that TLL trained business executives and government officials. It clearly support this fact. Therefore I think that "not in the citation given" should be removed. Please let me know your thoughts about this. Thanks. Arielinson (talk) 08:38, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
BarrelProof thank you for your comment. I did my best to make this article non promotional and list only facts about the person. If you find promotional content please let me know where it is and I'll delete it myself. I think every aspect in this article is important biographic data about this person. Following your comment saying the articles are mostly about etiquette I've added another source in Hebrew which is dedicated to the person in this Wikipedia article. Arielinson (talk) 09:52, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As time has passed since my comment above was made, the content of the article has evolved, and the discussion here has included enough additional information that I no longer think the article should be deleted. I therefore have struck through my prior "delete" recommendation. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:06, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, Leibovitz is a well known person. Also as a Wiki-woman I think that there are not enough articles about significant Israeli women. Keep. Laliv g (talk) 13:34, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Laliv g, This discussion is about whether the subject of the article is notable. Notability, unfortunately, has a very specific and somewhat idiosyncratic meaning in Wikipedia. Famous, well-known or important are not the same as notable. Please see WP:N. The fact that women are underrepresented in Wikipedia has no bearing on the notability of this particular subject. What we're trying to determine in this discussion is if there is sufficient significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to sustain an article about the subject. If you think such coverage exists, but is not currently in the article, you should feel free to add it to the article or mention it here. Notability is determined by the existence, not necessarily the inclusion, of such sources. Vexations (talk) 15:27, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Vexations. I think many resources and sufficient significant coverage in independent, reliable sources have been provided in the article to support the fact that this person is notable. According to WP:BIO "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability;". As far as I can see, multiple resources have been provided to show that . Arielinson (talk) 08:54, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the various and changing software tools of Blurb for creating books can be described in the main article Blurb, Inc.. Apparently, they're phasing out this particular application, as the page http://www.blurb.com/booksmart points to "other free, easy-to-use tools to create beautiful books". But I'm not proposing articles about BookWright and their other current tools, as I do not think these have any notability independently of the Blurb platform. The (rather old) articles in the "References" section are more about the offerings of Blurb in general, mentioning the then-current software BookSmart, but not focussing on the latter.

Regarding the nomination itself, note that per WP:NEXIST, topic notability is not based upon the state of sourcing in articles, and the article presently has some reliable source references, so it's not qualifiable for deletion via being an unsourced BLP.

Fails our notability guidelines for businesses. This passed as keep in 2007, albeit weakly, but all references were removed without explanation in this revision in 2007. I've since restored them, but I don't think that they represent the significant coverage the GNG calls for, as they either mention the company simply in passing or contain routine coverage of a product or a product line launch. schetm (talk) 07:10, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. A very scant discussion. But the arguments for deletion are compelling and based on the core policy WP:V. The only argument for keeping is a reference to WP:BISHOPS, which as an essay has no significance at all in a deletion discussion, and even mentions that LDS religious leaders aren't the same thing as bishops.I therefore have to close this as "delete" based on strength of argument.

Non-notable subject that does not meet WP:BASIC. The one reliable source in the article, from the 2009 Deseret News Church Almanac, presumably provides some coverage, but multiple, independent reliable sources that provide significant coverage are required, not just one. The remaining three sources in the article are primary, and are not usable to establish notability. Several WP:BEFORE source searches are only providing faint passing mentions (e.g. [15]), minor quotations from the subject (which are primary in nature) and name checks.

An offshoot is something entirely different though. This here is more like the official version 2 of the same thing, same author and all. It has superseded the original.
I guess the most relevant discussions of JsRender come from Dan Wahlin and John Papa, Microsoft's ASP and web app gurus. Apart from that, many library ecosystems, some even out of the scope of pure JS, make use of it. It can be used with Python's Django framework, with Ruby on Rails and of course npm and others; and it's featured in a very well-received book about jQuery, jQuery Hotshot, and another book on mobile apps with jQuery. --Regenspaziergang !? 12:50, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It would be very unfair that players like this get deleted and others who don’t match any relevance even close, have one.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.118.26.164 (talk) 09:00, 1 November 2018 (UTC) — 95.118.26.164 (talk · contribs) has only contributed to the article(s) under discussion for deletion and this XFD page.

Qualifying is not part of being in the main draw of an ATP event. It is a separate round to see if a player can qualify for the main draw. He was wiped out in all those qualifying rounds. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:06, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
He has never played in those tournaments. He played in qualifying rounds to make those tournament main draws. He failed badly. He did not play in an ATP 250 event in Kuala Lumper. NSPORT and Tennis Project Guidelines are very clear on this issue. You are notable if
Has competed in the main draw in one of these higher level professional tournaments:
Grand Slam tournaments.
Men: ATP World Tour tournaments (the ATP World Tour Finals, ATP World Tour Masters 1000, ATP World Tour 500, or ATP World Tour 250).
Women: WTA Tour tournaments (the WTA Premier, the WTA International, or the WTA Tour Championships).
Has won at least one title in any of the ATP Men's Challenger tournaments.
This guy is not even remotely close. He is a minor-minor league player.... one of countless thousands. You are brand new here so maybe you haven't read through all the wikipedia guidelines. Check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis/Article guidelines under notability. And please end your posts with 4 tildas "~~~~" so we can follow your posts correctly. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:25, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Playing qualifying means playing the Tournament. On the very end, hennas made in total 7 ATP Points. That should be recognized as notable. I have seen a many players here with page with way worse results compared to Stefan Merunka. I think and really believe, that he deserves a page. The page looks very professionals. Thanks guys Spodeco (talk) 20:38, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but I don't believe you. There are not "many players" here with way worse results. I'd be surprised if there are any. Many have played Fed Cup or Davis Cup, or actually played in the main draw of an ATP or WTA event. Those main draws are the major leagues of tennis just like MLB is the major league of baseball. Playing in Challengers is the minor league of tennis. These aren't on television. But even so, if you actually win a minor league Challenger level tournament, notability is implied here at wikipedia. He has not won one. In fact he was only in one and he was wiped out in the first round. The rest of his so called minor league Challenger attempts were only in trying to qualify and he was crushed in all of those. Then there are the minor-minor league ITF events. The lowest of the low in professional tennis. Has he won one of those? Nope. Almost anyone with a few dollars can play and he has never made it out of the round of 16 in even those low level events. This guy classifies as a poor tennis player that has no business having an article here. I can't even believe we are discussing this player. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:04, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your answer. I still think that Stefan Merunka deserves the page here. And I hope, my page ( Stefan Merunka ) will not be deleted and will be given a chance. Best RegardsSpodeco (talk) 21:54, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thassilo Haun satisfies WP:NTENNIS because he has played in one career ATP match (His record in doubles is 0–1). Have you read the WP:NTENNIS page? Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:47, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thassilo Haun is indeed a fringe player. But his results are night and day better than Stefan Merunka. For one, he actually played in the main draw of the Austrian Open on the ATP tour. He made it to finals in the minor leagues (though he never won a title in his life). Because he played one event the ATP tour he is a fringe player... no doubt about it. But there's fringe and then there's bottom of the barrel poor results like Merunka. And so on. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:51, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • CommentWP:BISHOPS is an opinion essay; it is not a guideline or policy at all. There is no presumed notability for religious subjects on English Wikipedia whatsoever. North America1000 18:02, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Regarding the above !vote:
  • It does not provide a valid rationale for article retention whatsoever.
  • Its thesis is utterly unclear; this article and deletion nomination is about LeGrand R. Curtis Jr., not other subjects.
  • Primary sources are just not usable to establish notability.
  • There is no presumed notability for religious subjects on English Wikipedia.
  • This nomination entirely follows established policy regarding deletion nominations on English Wikipedia, rather than the gross mis-characterization above as "clearly goes against". The user is making up their own policy, which is what's actually clearly against policy. Heck, I even perform WP:BEFORE source searching, which is recommended, but not required, and on top of that, I perform further customized searches to try to find usable sources.
– I sure hope this isn't closed based upon a simple !vote count. Thus far, not even one source has been presented herein to back up assertions of notability, which at this point, are all based upon personal opinion, rather than guidelines. North America1000 01:35, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • @E.M.Gregory: Could you post some of those sources here, so others can assess them? Are they primary or secondary sources? Do they provide passing mentions or significant coverage? Are they reliable, or unreliable? North America1000 14:04, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • User:Northamerica1000, I hope that you will rephrase that request. I have, as anyone who checks can see, already begun sourcing the page. However, and more to the point, given the many AfDs in widely diverse topic areas where where we meet, it is discourteous for you to imply that I add sources, or argue that sources exist unless I have run searches and found sources. I do not add unreliable sources. Where you and I differ, is that, as WP:SIGCOV makes clear, a sentence can be SIGCOV, and I do add such coverage, while you dismiss some coverage on the grounds of brevity. These are difference of interpretation. Please also consider that in the process of rapidly bringing dozens of poorly sourced articles about individuals elected to leadership positions within LDS, you may have missed the notability of some of these Church leaders.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:25, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's up to you. I routinely provide sources in AfD discussions when opining for article retention, and I gladly do so. This is a volunteer project of course, there's no obligation. I didn't know you added sources to the article, because you didn't mention it. Nowhere at WP:SIGCOV does it state that one sentence about a subject or topic is significant coverage. Not sure how you could surmise your notion from the WP:SIGCOV page, and then consider one sentence about a person to constitute significant coverage (it's not). Under your rationale, any person on the Earth who has received a single, one-sentence mention in two different reliable publications would qualify for an article. This is not how notability is qualified at all. Regarding my AfD nominations, each and every subject or topic is researched well beyond what WP:BEFORE requires. North America1000 14:36, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would never argue for N on the basis of a single, brief, source. But certain brief mentions can add to a group of sources that cumulatively establish notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:51, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, but the bottom line is that brief mentions, even several of them, such as, "the subject attended an event and said something", "the subject was promoted and moved", "the subject ate a hamburger and said they liked it", etc. do not constitute significant coverage, and therefore do not establish notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines, which were determined by consensus. Your analysis comes across as a conflation of your own opinion regarding what should constitute notability on Wikipedia, rather than what actually does. North America1000 16:39, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, well, on the premise that it is more useful to improve the page than to BLUDGEON, I will continue to improve the page. Do note the women's first I have already added.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:57, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, but WP:REFBOMBing an article with passing mentions and primary quotations from the subject does not qualify notability per Wikipedia's standards of notability at all. The thesis of this nomination is that the subject does not meet notability requirements, rather than the notion that adding sources that do not qualify notability is "more useful".

  • Comment. Taking your suggestion at face value (that the other contributors here, myself included, misread/misunderstood the relevance of the refs), I decided to take a quick look at the refs you have highlighted. IE: Numbers "8,9,13,18,33,34". In short, ref numbers 8, 18 and 34 (as they were when you posted your comment) all link to the exact same Wordpress blog post. Blog posts do not meet project guidelines for reliable sources. Not least because ANYONE can publish a blog post to say whatever they want. Even then, the publisher of this particular blog post has not made the article subject the primary topic of their blog post. So, even if a blog post WERE considered a reliable source, it still wouldn't support a claim of notability. The same goes for refs 13 and 33 (which are also duplicated links to the same blog). Finally, while ref number 9 does seem to be a link to a reliable publication (a Donegal Democrat article), the article does not mention the subject AT ALL. It is therefore irrelevant to the text which it claims to support, and is irrelevant to any claim of notability. In short, your argument is invalid - at best. And completely disingenuous - at worst. Your argument has not swayed my opinion relative to this AfD discussion. But has reinforced my concerns relative to the WP:NOTHERE and WP:ORGVANITY concerns raised by the AfD nominator.

I believe the endgame would be a very, very selective merge to Angelique Rockas (essentially: date of creation, stated intent, list of productions, and that's it). While I could do it myself, it would be a pretty unilateral action amounting to a deletion-by-redirection, so I would rather have some community input on this.

The current state of the article is awful (highly promotional, weird formatting quirks, untranslated foreign-language quotes, etc.) and it appears to be a nest of COI editing, but it does not matter as to whether it should be kept. I will however note that all refs to newspapers are actually refs to archive.org or flickr.com clips of the newspaper, which falls afoul of WP:COPYVIOEL, and should absolutely be cleaned up even if the article is kept.

What matters is whether there are references supporting the notability of that theatre company. First thing to get out of the way: I see not a single SIGCOV source discussing the IT itself (stuff like this are more-or-less disguised interviews with Angelique Rockas).There are, however, a couple of reviews of theatre productions by that company in the main press; in the same vein as authors of notable books being notable themselves, company having made notable performances might be notable, WP:INHERITED notwithstanding. The question is whether those are enough for notability, or fall under WP:ROUTINE (being covered in the specialized pages of the press might not be enough to show notability of the company producing the play - after all, there aren't that many professionally-made plays playing at a given moment in a given city, so the local press's specialized pages will often pick it up).

The applicable guideline here is either WP:NORG or WP:NACTOR (the former refers to the latter for entertainment groups but it is not super clear to me why it should be the case). For NORG, theatre reviews fall squarely into routine territory in my eyes. For NACTOR, we can exclude #2 and #3, but one could argue about #1. My feeling from the reviews is that The Balcony has been significantly picked up in the press but none of the others, hence failing the multiple notable (...) stage performances requirement.

Adding - Just finished a bit of CE at Angelique Rockas, removed the bulk of the Internationalist Theatre section and pointed to its main page. I’m of the mind that the prior interference with the 2 articles has subsided, although we should continue watching both articles to guard against fluff/promotion and our typical PAG vios. Atsme✍🏻📧 15:14, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I desagree. Reviews that mostly present a theatre production to let us know what's on this season do not automatically support notability. Allmost all productions of that king get a review somewhere. Moreover, some of the reviews, like this one ([16]; ref #17) barely mention the company, while focusing to the writer and the play. These kind of reviews are primary sources, giving information on single events. All active theatre companies can get some contemporary favorable reviews for their productions. The issue is that in order for a company to be notable, there must be some reliable secondary sources on its course, an account on its productions as a whole, a reliable review of its history and an evaluation of its impact. The total lack of seconadary sources in the case of the Internationalist Theatre is crucial: how can it be an important and notable company, and at the same time completely ignored (this is also true for Rockas as an actor) from the historians and researchers of the British/London theatrical scene? A good example for my point is the staging of Griselda Gambaro's play The Camp: although Rockas and her company actually are credited by a contermporary reviewer with the first production of the play in English in London, in October 1981, there is not a single reference (as far as I have seen) to Rockas or her company in the huge English-language literature on Gambaro and her work. And this rule does not confine only to the literature on Gambaro; it's a general rule. ——Chalk19 (talk) 06:27, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
At least the production is noted here - [17]. Frankly I fail to see how not being mentioned in the literature on Gambaro is relevant (that is assuming that you have actually read all of them, which I doubt is true). A theatre company that performed a Shakespeare play not being mentioned in literature on Shakespeare is hardly something I would consider relevant to the notability of that company because that company is not defined by the Shakespeare play. Hzh (talk) 21:05, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Theatricalia.com (your link) is a wiki: "Anyone can add a production if it’s not on the site" as stated in its homepage [18]. So the question -of my example above- remains: how come and the British premiere = English-language world premiere (not just any production) by Rockas' Intenationalist Theatre is not mentioned at all in the English-language literature on Gambaro, The Camp, its translations into English etc.? In Catherine Larson and Margarita Vargas (eds), Latin American Women Dramatists: Theatre, Texts, and Theories, Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1998, ISBN 0-253-21240-5 (pbk. edn.), Becky Boling in her essay "Reenacting Politics: The Theater of Griselda Gambaro" mentions (p.4) the US priemiere of the play in New York in 1983, but nothing is said of Rockas' Internationalist Theatre world premier in English language two years before. The same -no reference to the British, English-language world premiere- in Claire Taylor, Bodies and Texts: Configuations of Identity in the Works of Albalucia Angel, Griselds Gambaro, and Laura Esquivel, Modern Humanities Research Association, 2003. This is the rule everywhere with Rockas and her company: couldn't find a thing in secondary English-language literatute on theatre; and that is pretty striking for a supposedly notable theatre company, and its alleged notable founder and leader, isn't it: not a word. All info about Rockas and her company comes basically from some ordinary contemporary reviews in the press, recycled by Rockas in the net thru flickr etc. ——Chalk19 (talk) 19:50, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I’ve found some archived London newspaper reviews. Had plans to do more research today if there’s time before I have to leave for the Wiki Conference. Atsme✍🏻📧 09:48, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unverifiable, no evidence of notability could be found. The sources added after the Prod don't seem to mention the temple (e.g. searching "A Handbook of Kerala, Volume 2"[19] for Avanoor, Avanur, or Sreekanteswaram, yielded no results; the first source is a census, not a source on temples.

Necessary changes has been done.-- Rajesh Unuppally 12:47, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If the 108 Shiva Temples are really a notable group, and if this is one of them, this may be notable, but there are still massive problems verifying this. The coordinates in the article still lead to Udayamperoor Ekadasi Perumthrikovil Temple, about a hundred miles from Avanur. The book source 108 Siva Kshetrangal appears to exist, but no page number for the information is given, nor is an ISBN or OCLC number which would help in tracking down a copy. Temples of Tṛśśoor̲ District again does not give page numbers. The book is only available in snippet view in gbooks, but searches for "Avanur", "Avanoor", or "Sreekanteswaram" do not seem to point to this exact temple. So please, let's have some accurate coords and refs before we decide to keep this. SpinningSpark 15:01, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. Clearly doesn't meet WP:GNG. The only sources we have are a chapter the subject authored and a passing mention in his publisher's entry in the list of exhibitors for a book trade show. Google doesn't seem to be of much more help in finding sources, certainly nothing that would qualify as "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". 142.160.89.97 (talk) 04:07, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@BOZ: Assuming that sources aren't found over the course of the week, then, am I correct in understanding that you would support userfying the article rather than keeping it? 142.160.89.97 (talk) 04:37, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's fair enough. BOZ (talk) 05:03, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would be surprised if one could find "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", but if you want search further, by all means do so. That being said, if there are not sources that meet those criteria, what would be the purpose of userfication? 142.160.89.97 (talk) 05:09, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Because there's no deadline? I have come across many unsourced or barely sourced articles that have sat neglected for years and found sources for them. Many users are not patient enough to allow for that to happen, which is a shame, but I do what I can where I can. That's more than enough purpose; if you don't get where I'm coming from then I don't see a point in further discussing this. BOZ (talk) 05:24, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I'm just trying to understand – is there something about the subject that leads you to believe he might be notable more than, say, any obscure author selected at random from WorldCat (excluding those who have only published with vanity presses and the like)? 142.160.89.97 (talk) 05:28, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unelected MP, and an interim cabinet minister. As discussed at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people)#Caretaker_cabinet_members, I don't think interim cabinet minister are something that would be expected to have an article on English Wikipedia, unless pass GNG.

Subject also lacks non-trivial coverage from independent reliable sources and therefore does not appear to meet basic GNG as well.

Again, the second one is clearly just relaying what the first one said. It's in plain English and attributed three times, twice in Bold Capitalized Hyperlink. Seven times, the reporter is abundantly cautious in emphasizing how these claims are from the lone mysterious source, not from the Outlook Web Bureau. How are you not seeing this? InedibleHulk (talk) 20:57, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with InedibleHulk. WP:EXCEPTIONAL says that "Any exceptional claim requires multiple high-quality sources", also per WP:GNG "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability." (So referencing Middle East Eye multiple times does not make the event more eligible to be in Wikipedia). As I suggest above, we should wait for top tier news organizations to see if they cover the matter. And to the point of DBigXray, as far as I know the NYT has only covered information regarding the killers of Koshaggi, and not made refernece to a larger killing squat going after multiple targets. Thank you.(talk) user:Al83tito 6:30, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
No, we're going to slander up to fifty named people, based on the say-so of one shadowy figure. Or if the unsubstantiated mudslinging later turns out to be true, we're going to be tortured and murdered by the Tiger Squad for "exposing" them. All because a few bad apples think we're a social justice firm or detective agency that doesn't need independent secondary coverage for things to seem verifiable.

Highly expected by whom? InedibleHulk (talk) 23:00, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
From everyone that has been following the constant flow of new revelations arising from the aftermath of the Jamal Khashoggi murder. The same outlet has already been among the first to report information that it took about seven minutes to carry out; that forensic specialist Salah Muhammed al-Tubaigy cut Khashoggi's body into pieces while Khashoggi was still alive, as he and his colleagues listened to music[1]; the role of Ahmad Asiri's in the death (who was later fired)[2]; that seven of the fifteen murder suspects are Mohammed bin Salman's bodyguards[3]; and now the existence of the Tiger Squad,[4] which is itself already largely substantiated by previous reports from other outlets.[5][6] LissanX (talk) 00:26, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is any of that quick information true yet? InedibleHulk (talk) 06:36, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is any of it true or is any of it acknowledged by the accused murderers themselves? Are you proposing we delete the entire killing of Jamal Khashoggi article and replace it with "He died in a fist fight" because that’s all that’s "true"? LissanX (talk) 22:05, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Most of that article is sourced to multiple identified people, or anonymous people said to work for known police and government agencies. It easily passes GNG, and this page is crystal clear about which article I'm proposing for deletion. The main article's Talk Page has a section where I'm also clear about why I think "fist fight" is untrue, why I scrubbed that term and why other editors should continue to leave it out. Is any of your quick info acknowledged as true by identified people or anonymous people said to work for authoritative investigatory agencies? InedibleHulk (talk) 06:45, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Most sources used on the article...make no mention of a 'Tiger' squad." What article are you reading? The first of 17 sources from Outlook India has, as the very first line of the article, "The Firqat el-Nemr, or Tiger Squad was formed over a year ago and comprises of 50 of the skilled intelligence and military operatives in the kingdom." The second source from the Mirror writes "Mr Khashoggi, 59, was tortured and murdered by a hit squad, known as the Firqat el-Nemr, or Tiger Squad." The third source from the CBC writes "The Firqat el-Nemr or "tiger squad" — a hit team of Saudi agents — is believed to be behind the savage murder of Khashoggi in Istanbul." The fourth source from The Nation says "Mr Khashoggi, 59, was tortured and murdered by a hit squad, known as the Firqat el-Nemr, or Tiger Squad." The fifth source from another article on the Mirror says "Mr Khashoggi, 59, was killed by a hit squad, known as the Firqat el-Nemr, or Tiger Squad." The sixth and seventh are both the main article from the Middle East Eye. The rest of the sources are about various aspects of the article which corroborate the the first seven sources. The existence of a "small entity" which works directly for the leadership of a major country tasked with murdering journalists in Western countries is more than noteworthy. It's also relevant to others than Jamal Khashoggi, and the scope of this entity can’t be constricted to the death of Jamal Khashoggi article alone. LissanX (talk) 04:45, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds like most of those sources you took the effort to quote here are mirrors the Middle East Eye source. Provide me a global leak, a US or Turkish intelligence report, or at least a named official calling it The "Tiger squad" and it will stand credible to me as entity. WP:RS. Wikiemirati (talk) 06:00, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As stated in the other thread, Al Jazeera, Al-Alam and France 24 are all state news outlets and lend credibility to the Middle East Eye, which was itself a reliable source to begin with. The Washington Post also has reported the same with no mention of the Middle East Eye, writing "The U.S. government learned last month that Assiri was planning to create a “tiger team” to conduct covert special operations, I’m told". The CIA involvement in Contra cocaine trafficking was first sourced by the San Jose Mercury News, a small news outlet not anywhere near the size of the Middle East Eye. The Snowden leaks were also revealed the same way as the Tiger Squad revelations. Al Jazeera, Al-Alam, Sama News, France 24, etc. LissanX (talk) 21:59, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The WP mentions the team in regards to Khashoggi's killing. Heck, it states "Assiri was planning to create", hence no attribution that squad already exists and has performed many operations already. We can create an article regarding the "Tiger squad" once more "multiple high-quality sources" exist. as per WP:EXCEPTIONAL "Exceptional claims require exceptional sources". As of now, I don't see any "high quality sources" exist apart of the Middle East Eye, and the multiple other sources which cite it in its news. I'm not denying the existence of such a squad, I wouldn't know or care. I'm calling it not notable enough to warrant its own article. Wikiemirati (talk) 22:44, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Aye, clear contradiction of the alleged creation date and the alleged creator isn't "lending credibility" to this story, by any stretch of imagination. InedibleHulk (talk) 06:59, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  1. The 1st one is the original source that reported the story, as I gather from the discussion above. Wikipedia says of theMiddle East Eye that it is funded by Qatar, an antagonist of Saudi Arabia. That does not mean that the story is wrong, but that more corroboration is needed, and that one source can't be trusted.
  2. The 2nd source, Outlook India, there is no wiki article about it, which makes me wonder how prominent of a source it is.
  3. The 3rd source, in the Mirror, which is described in Wikipedia as being a Tabloid, making its reliability really questionable
  4. The 4th source (CBC), is actually an opinion piece, which can have some weight, but less than if it was an actual news piece.
  5. And since I don't have the time now to check every source, I will skip to the 9th one, which stood out to me, as it is the NYT (finally, a top-tier source I can recognize), but :I don't see in it being mentioned anything about a larger killing squad, out of which the 15 operatives involved are only a subset, and that such larger squat has made multiple assassination attempts on dissidents, which is what this article is about.
Don't take me wrong, these assertions may end up being corroborated, and sadly there is a chance of them indeed being true. However, at this point I am doubtful that these claims from these sources can constitute an encyclopedic article. Respectfully, (talk) user:Al83tito 6:18, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

In a quick glance, its noteworthy to mention that most of the Arabic sources are from small time newspapers or online journals, and blog posts. Less-established outlets is generally considered less reliable for statements of fact as per WP:RS. Not even Al Jazeera, Saudi's Arabia worst critic in Arabic, mentioned a "Tiger squad". There's no fact checking here and the article regardign a "tiger squad" was deleted in Arabic Wikipedia for lack of reliable evidence. Wikiemirati (talk) 20:25, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Allegations of bias of the source require more evidence than just "they aren’t friends with the Saudis". To Saqib and DBigXray's point, there are numerous online sources in Arabic, including one from Al Jazeera, Al-Alam, Sama News, France 24, etc. LissanX (talk) 21:07, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Everyone of those sources mentions "Middle East Eye" as the primary source. According to WP:RS "Multiple sources should not be asserted for any wire service article. Such sources are essentially a single source." Again, where did I claim that those sources are biased? I am only quoting WP:RS "Less-established outlets is generally considered less reliable for statements of fact". Regards. Wikiemirati (talk) 21:17, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Al Jazeera, Al-Alam and France 24 are all state news outlets and lend credibility to the Middle East Eye, which was itself a reliable source to begin with. The Washington Post also has reported the same with no mention of the Middle East Eye, writing "The U.S. government learned last month that Assiri was planning to create a “tiger team” to conduct covert special operations, I’m told". The CIA involvement in Contra cocaine trafficking was first sourced by the San Jose Mercury News, a small news outlet not anywhere near the size of the Middle East Eye. The Snowden leaks were also revealed the same way as the Tiger Squad revelations. LissanX (talk) 21:52, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Again, a columnist (not a reporter) relaying hearsay that Assiri (not the prince) was planning to create (not had created) a "tiger team" (not "tiger squad") in September 2018 (not 2017) for covert special operations (not murdering its critics) is not even close to "reporting the same", unless you ignore the who, why, what, where, when and how aspects. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:09, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let me be clear that this is not the first or the only high profile killing from this Squad, so arguments of 1E are not applicable here. The very existence of other high profile killings from this squad makes it inappropriate for a merge. The subject has significant coverage needed to have a stand alone article. --DBigXray 16:46, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Exactly, this group is allegedly responsible for the assassinations of Saudi princes, judges, and attempts on other journalists and activists. This is not limoted to Jamal Khashoggi. This is similar to the Chain murders of Iran. LissanX (talk) 21:12, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Granted, however Icewhiz point is about wikipedia notability regardless if such squad exists or not. It is notable to mention in regards to Jamal Khashoggi's killing. However, for it to be a separate article it should fulfill Wikipedia:Notability and needs multiple third party sources, not just a single source mentioning an unnamed official imo.

It seems all mentions of the persons in the article violate WP:BLP. Regarding WP:Censor, it deals with facts, and that is something that is not established (following wiki rules) in the article. WikiHannibal (talk) 14:50, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see your point. As I stated, I have my doubts about the sources; the BLP was an appendix to that. And since you asked about the BLP part of my comment, I responed..)

Page views do not establish notability and are not taken into consideration in Wikipedia:Notability guidelines. High page views may stem from the fact that this article is linked from the main article in Killing of Jamal Khashoggi which almost already covers the same content in this article. Wikiemirati (talk) 01:23, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I never said this is the only criteria to keep, this just supports the notability claims. No, Killing of Jamal Khashoggi, clearly does not contain all the same content. If 22,000+ people want to read this article, then there has to be very strong reasons to delete and deny them this information. --DBigXray 01:48, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You may create Israel army sharks as an article and support it with million verified sources from middle eastern news on how Israel trained sharks to kill Egyptians and it will probably gain millions of views but notability of such subject will not be passed. That event has multiple verifiable sources compared to this "squad". Point is, once multiple high quality exceptional sources exist you may create an exceptional article WP:EXCEPTIONAL Wikiemirati (talk) 02:03, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you can create anything, the only problem you will find is reliable newspapers will not be publishing any nonsense that risks their credibility. So your newly created article will still end up CSDed for lack of reliable source as refs. Hope you understand the problem with your example. --DBigXray 18:53, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No you may not as per Wikipedia:Notability. If thats your reasoning, then I can create all the fringe theories deleted from wikipedia. You will be surprised with the amount of nonsense published by newspapers. Most news don't care about credibility, they care about their impact factor and viewers views, which is why journalists love covering controversy. Regardless I'm not here to argue the reliability of Middle East Eye. This topic also lacks multiple reliable sources (only 2 I counted so far), which is even way less than the news that was reported in the example I stated. With your reasoning, it should be deleted or merged then (for the lack of reliable sources). Wikiemirati (talk) 01:18, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ariconte this is the only article for this particular Saudi death squad and the above is the commonly used English title for it. It does have an arabic name and some soutces also call it Tiger group --DBigXray 01:07, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Of course death squads exist in the wild. So do penises and tigers. But that doesn't mean any nameless person can start a lurid online rumour about a celebrity's personal death squad and expect it to appear both real and notable on Wikipedia, anymore than Lady Gaga's penis deserves a standalone article full of uncorrobarated scandalous adventures throughout Parts Unknown (it's very famous). Her own BLP doesn't even mention the little guy's purported existence, and neither should Mohammad bin Salman's mention his invisible tiger boys. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:00, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikipedia requires us to use reliable source WP:RS. This policiy nowhere states that a "reliable source that is using an anonymous trusted source" cannot be used as a valid reference. The reason why this anonymous person cant publish his name is obvious, he will be the next victim of this squad if he published his name. It does not mean these newspapers dont know his name,they just agreed to not publish his name. All these internationally renowned newspapers are putting their own credibility on line while publishing this article, so obviously they have their own checks and balances to make sure nonsense doesn't get published in the name of anonymous source. The very fact that these reliable newspapers around the world have published this is good enough for Wikipedia. You shouldn't be expecting an official statement in such cases. --DBigXray 01:27, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Again, there are no "these newspapers". The Middle East Eye exclusively talked to him, and every other outlet just covered the existence of that story, not the substance of it. By attributing all claims to this exclusive, they don't risk their own credibility in the slightest (because the story really was published), and did no original research beyond finding the story online and recapping it to catch clicks (exactly like Wikipedians do). If you won't trust me on this, try to find another source that claims to have met him. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:41, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with InedibleHulk. Only one news outlet mentioned the "anonymous trusted source" and another which slightly hinted the possible existence of such squad. If more details regarding the existence of this squad emerge you're welcome to start a whole encyclopedia about it but so far, in my opinion, the current information can be incorporated and merged into Killing of Jamal Khashoggi article, the main subject in which this mysterious organization existence was talked about. Wikiemirati (talk) 01:49, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Washington Post David Ignatius article is independent of the Middle East Eye source; it talks about a tiger team, which is not a significantly different name to tiger squad, given that these are both English translations from the original Arabic; and it uses the term "covert special operations" team rather than "death squad", but these terms have a very strong overlap in meaning - teams of agents that do secret operations that frequently include assassinations that would be politically embarrassing (and legally risky, under local law where the events occur and possibly under international law such as the Geneva Conventions) if the agents were caught. This is not just my understanding of English, it's also a Guardian columnist's understanding of Ignatius' English - 'a "tiger team" to conduct covert special operations, which sounds a lot like a death squad charged with hunting down anyone unlucky enough to find themselves on Bin Salman's enemies list.' Boud (talk) 21:13, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ignatius talks of a different team which hadn't yet been (and might still not be) assembled when this article's team is purported to have already killed for a different leader. Assuming covert operations must mean clandestine killing is as foolish as assuming overt operations must mean public killing. Many teams work on many things for many heads under cover of state secrecy, from forced disappearance to data processing and every task in between. Even if Freedland/Bourne's hunch about the other later team is correct, that would only score a point toward keeping another later article. InedibleHulk (talk) 13:55, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable academic. Provided sources do not demonstrate notability per WP:GNG, WP:NAUTHOR, WP:NACADEMIC. The subject is the founder and president of The Wynnewood Institute, which doesn't appear to be a notable enough research institution to satisfy WP:NACADEMIC. Internet searches for more coverage about the subject in reliable sources were unsuccessful, and specifically searching Google Scholar and ResearchGate for both the subject and their works did not leave me with the impression that the subject is widely cited or otherwise had a significant impact in their field. That having been said, search engines can be finicky about finding evidence of citations, so I would welcome any evidence that demonstrates that Burke has had a wide impact or otherwise meets WP:NACADEMIC. signed, Rosguill talk 20:05, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I will make a case for stronger claim to notability. To start: 1. There are more citations in academic journals as well as reviews of his books. How many citations or mentions of the subject's work would be considered notable? Should I provide the citations here or elsewhere? 2. He wrote a religious text titled The Major Religions that is widely held/used. Does that factor in to the criteria at all? *Please note that I created the article as a work for hire. Thank you.--DiamondRemley39 (talk) 23:20, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Burke, T. P. (2004). The major religions: An introduction with texts. Wiley-Blackwell. This textbook would seem to be a compilation more than an original work.

You can make edits to the article and then just summarize your additions here.

Many, actually, most academics fail guidelines like WP:PROF, WP:AUTHOR because, as you say, "not an influential thinker." The only way to pass those guidelines or WP:GNG is to have multiple SECONDARY and TERTIRAY WP:RS that discuss your career, your ideas, your books and/or your impact.

Comment: On the contrary, it makes very good sense to consider these separately. Any AfD for the whole lot would never succeed, because among the fluff there is bound to be something which the "Rescue Squad" could turn into an argument.

These are basically press releases. I was surprised that you had accepted this article at AfC without the substantial independent, reliable sources needed to demonstrate notability. The creator may deny having a CoI, but the only thing he has done in his total of eight contributions to Wikipedia since he joined in July is to write this article and to introduce and link the company name into the article on Digital photo frames. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:22, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
These all have bylines by independent writers and so are not clearly press releases. SPA or suspected COI is not a reason to delete or reject an AFC submission. The article is very stubby and so has no WP:NPOV issue. ~Kvng (talk) 15:46, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I do not understand why you want to delete this article. Do a Google search for "Открытый Российский Фестиваль Анимационного Кино 1996" and you will find plenty of news articles talking about the festival in general, as well as the 2018 edition, including mentions of 1996 as the year when it started. It is the most important/only film festival of the domestic Russian animation industry (or at least was that for quite a while). What exactly is so objectionable about Wikipedia providing a public service for researchers into little-known (but notable) niches by giving a breakdown of which films won awards in a given notable film festival in a particular year? If given time, I can probably find contemporary press mentions as well (they certainly would have existed, though I'm not sure if Russian newspapers have online archives going back to 1996). Right now, it's a little difficult as I'm packing for a plane trip... I would ask others to please help if you can, and please use some common sense before putting perfectly useful articles up for deletion... Esn (talk) 08:19, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not enough reliable sources to support an article. Was de-PROD'd on the basis that the article from Pelit magazine constitutes a reliable source.

Aside from the Pelit article from 2006 (here), there is one very short article on Muropaketti [fi] (here), which appears to be some kind of gaming site. No evident editorial policy or even really an about page, so no way to judge reliability.

Only other source located was this one from GamesIndustry.biz which is clearly a press release, and therefore contributes nothing to notability.

No other reliable sources located on Google or the custom searches maintained by WikiProject Video Games at WP:VG/SE. Two sources, one fairly short and unreliable, is not enough to maintain an article. ♠PMC(talk) 01:20, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am not an IT geek, but noting the comments on the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mercury Mail Transport System, I get the impression that the software David Harris developed is more significant than the article states.

  •  Comment: If his work is really part of the E-mail history there should be many independent sources about him, but there is no significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. The fact is this person is just a regular software developer with little coverage about his 2 proprietary software. Editor-1 (talk) 08:54, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment My impression, from having seen a few AFDs about other New Zealanders with relatively limited sourcing, is that having a DNZB entry, as Love does, was a strong indicator of notability (e.g. see this AFD from 2016). IntoThinAir (talk) 03:54, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is apparently the current consensus. Personally I think that needs to be revisited. There are clearly many people who would obviously fail GNG otherwise and it seems to lower the standard of WP:N by automatically assuming this is an adequate justification for inclusion.

Keep: she meets two of the criteria of WP:ANYBIO:

   1. The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times.
   3. The person has an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography or similar publication.

She received an OBE in 1918 "for services in connection with the Maori Expeditionary Force Funds" in WWI, and she does have an entry in the New Zealand Dictionary of Biography (written in 1996, updated in 2000, and also published online in the Encyclopaedia of New Zealand). The Imperial War Museum in London just tweeted about her OBE; an extract from her writings was included in another book published in 1996; another website in Wellington, NZ, also has a profile of her; and she is included in a Dictionary of women worldwide: 25,000 women through the ages (published 2007).

This article uses the DSM-5 for references, and yet also states, "Internet phobia has yet to be classified in the DSM-5 alongside specific phobia and social phobia." It's not in the DSM-5. The cited pages are faked, or are rather about agoraphobia. The article consists of WP:OR and this silly source. The citation template for the source states " 'Internet phobia'. 'Internet phobia' from Baidu Baike." But the title of the source is "Cibobobia." Google "cibobobia," and see what you get. Nada. Further, the source begins by stating, "With the advent of the Internet age, democratic participation and information disclosure are getting higher and higher, as if everything was observed with a magnifying glass. It is understood that many officials have a lot of fear, but the most fearful is the network. Recently, some local officials have reported to the People’s Forum reporters that many local cadres now have different levels of 'network' fear, and they are worried that personal information, job omissions or irregularities will be exposed by the network and will be out of control." I'm not sure if this Wikipedia article is a hoax, since more than one reference in it has "Agoraphobia" in the title and the sources are about agoraphobia in those cases rather than "Internet phobia," which shows that those titles weren't faked with "Internet phobia," but it is a likely hoax. It is either a hoax or a well-meaning entry, but the sources are about agoraphobia and generalized anxiety. I see no WP:Reliable sources for "Internet phobia." Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 02:55, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Clicking on the search links above, I do see a few sources using the term "Internet phobia," but not in the way that this Wikipedia article uses the term and goes into detail about it, and the mentions are usually passing mentions. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 05:47, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting it there would work. But like I stated at WP:Med, some of these phobia articles are not phobias in the clinical sense. An IP touched on this at Talk:Technophobia, where the IP stated, "The introductory two paragraphs seem particularly biased. While there are people who have a psychological fear of technology, the majority of the time the term technophobia is used it's referring to people who take a principled stance against technology, as shown by the rest of the article with Luddites and Anabaptist groups. While psychological adversity to technology is a thing, this article should atleast make an explicit distinction between the two." Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:51, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Think of how homophobia is a societal matter rather than a clinical matter...except for when it involves physical and/or sexual violence. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:55, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to merge with Kingsman (franchise).

Almost all content available in the "film series" article is already available in the "franchise" article, including the released and upcoming films, television series, cast/characters, crew and reception. The only thing I see that is not included in the "franchise" article is the music, which can be copied across from the "film series" article. The "franchise" article also contains extra content that the "film series" article does not, such as marketing, video game and animation.

Furthermore, the inclusion of a television series at the "film series" article makes the article into not a "film series" article, but a "franchise" article. Also noted that the "franchise" article does not link to the "film series" article at all. -- AlexTW 02:28, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not much, but several booking sites offer multiple hotels in Suwayfah. The Fairmont Fujairah Beach Resort, for instance, describes itself as being located there. Suwayfah is clearly a big holiday playground with multiple hotels, and gmaps satellite view shows a substantial marina.
