Keep Meets WP:GNG. Note: I replaced the references.----Pontificalibus 14:20, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As pointed out, wp:MEMORIAL does not apply at all, this is not like a glorified obituary of a person, it is about a monument which is itself apparently a wp:ITSAPUBLICATTRACTION (please see that awesome, well-written essay!). The Texas Historical Commission includes it in the Pecos Trail, per this source already in the article. I haven't compared original article to version after User:Pontificalibus's changes, but at least now it is pretty obviously notable. Meets wp:GNG. Also by the way the article is a little bit confusing for mentioning three county persons covered in it, as if only three persons are covered, but it is big block after big block of names apparently. It can/should be included in more categories, too, such as Category:World War I memorials in the United States, Category:Korean War memorials in the United States (not sure if that is right category name), etc., as long as a little bit more documentation supporting those categories is supplied. --Doncram (talk) 21:59, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There is no reason for deletion in the nomination. It is not questioning the actual validity of two sources in the article, and is only pointing out those sources are no longer available online. That does not matter at all.... we are allowed/encouraged to use off-line sources, like books and printed materials. The only other reasoning suggested for deletion was about wp:MEMORIAL which simply does not apply, so there is no valid deletion reason standing.

Keep I think the company just passes WP:CORP. I've updated the article a little bit, mostly using past tense throughout but also referencing a Forbes article about the company's troubles.

The problem is this is a collection of suppositions about what might happen, its not a clear cut analysis of future events.Slatersteven (talk) 13:53, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Slatersteven: There can be no analysis of "future events". This is not "future history" it is a retelling of the analysis of present situation (trends and tendencies, forces of political actors, etc) carried out by experts - political scientists, sociologists and journalists.

There is no editor opinion in article, there are "predictions, speculation, forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in a field" as WP:CBALL allow us to do. Russian and international experts have long spoken out on this subject, so quite comprehensive generalizing works have appeared.

If I misunderstood the rules and there will be consensus that the article should be deleted - i ask instead of this please transfer it by subsection to 2024 Russian presidential election.·Carn !? 14:05, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable topic. Nomination is not valid without detailing why that policy applies here. It's akin to nominating 2020 United States presidential election for the same reason.----Pontificalibus 15:37, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The 2020 election is an event likely to happen, this is not about an event likely to happen but speculation about a number of events that might happen (well to be more precise speculation about what might stop an event (the 2024 presidential elections) from happening), one (according to the article, and the only one required in law) unlikely to happen. Hell even the page name is wrong, as at least two of the scenarios involve Putin remaining in power.Slatersteven (talk) 15:39, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Among Russian experts there is common name on a topic "Problem 2024", maybe it is better name for an article.

Article is about existing problem of succession in personalist regime - only one scenario (Constitution change) isn't about transit of power. Other scenarios about loosing formal power by Putin.·Carn !? 17:41, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Which is the problem, this is not about one probable event but three possible (and one unlikely) event (according to the article). This is an example of various "experts" making conjectural predictions of what might be. The only difference between this and those "what if" books written by historians is here they are postulating different futures, rather then alternative pasts.Slatersteven (talk) 13:32, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to 2024 Russian presidential election for now. The article is full of speculation and cannot be explained with accurate sourcing until 2024 arrives. Also, who knows, Russia could pull a China and change the term limit, especially with a unpredictable leader such as Putin. AmericanAir88^(talk) 16:16, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge sourced speculations into 2024 Russian presidential election. As the end of Putin's presidency is but one possible outcome, WP:CRYSTAL would suggest that an entire article of speculations should not exist at this stage. Even though it is too soon to create a neutral, well-sourced article on this subtopic, its verifiable contents that have already received significant coverage should be explained in the topic's broader article (which easily complies with the main policies). Additionally, I would suggest renaming this article (if kept) or resulting redirect (if merged/redirected) to Problem 2024 or another shorter, widely-used name; the current title is not WP:CONCISE and would probably not be a very helpful redirect for this reason. ComplexRational (talk) 14:44, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User 2yechan was hired by Treasure Studio Inc, the parent company for CoCoMelon. The user has been instructed to write information regarding the history of CoCoMelon company, which does not have much media presence outside of YouTube.

Delete Unscrupulous paid editing; burn it to the ground. It might be possible to write a decent article using reliable sources like [5][6], but where decent sources exist, they seem to discuss "Kids YouTube" as a whole, rather than any particular channel.

User 2yechan believes that nothing is further from the truth.

"Sourced" to the company's YouTube videos; no other sources actually documenting the company properly, cited (now or in the original article) or to be found; an edit history full of whitewashing like Special:Diff/907435630; edits from IP accounts writing the content that geolocate only either to Irvine, California (the formal location of the purported parent company) or to Murmansk (which I suspect might be a clue to the reason for the secretiveness); and
CoCoMelon lacks presence on the internet, under direct discretion of the company to maintain privacy. Please understand this choice […]

Delete. A YouTube channel with 50M+ subscribers should be notable. The fact that the only coverage we can find are people writing (e.g. in the WSJ) who are these guys? is somewhat disturbing. But we can't make an article out of that, and the paid-editing issue also means that the existing content is unusable and that keeping an article free of future promotion is not going to be easy.

Comment I'm currently trying to rescue this article with a "criticism" section, as the question of who exactly makes these videos seems to be what the media focuses on. I don't know if the sources found are enough, though. (Also, how fast do you bet the I.P adresses will try to remove it? I give it a day.) TheAwesome Hwyh 18:11, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your section on criticism/controversy is good, but looking at the available sources, IMO they just aren't in-depth enough about this particular channel to sustain an article on it. That text could be incorporated, however, into YouTube or List of most-subscribed YouTube channels. The former already discusses controversies over child-oriented videos, and the latter already has a section about milestones and reactions. XOR'easter (talk) 16:02, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable neologism. Most of the stuff I'm seeing online are mirrors.

Comment a book search throws up a number of refs in the context of theatre, so it appears to be a term used in critical discourse in that field. Not sure if it’s really notable or if it’s just a WP:DICDEF. Mccapra (talk) 19:24, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete I did not find any sources for this concept, so this particular concept does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NEO. I did find some sources for the word, but they all seemed to use it to refer to an idea by Indian theater/cultural critic Rustom Bharucha. After wading through a lot of jargon, I found a definition here. Good luck making that understandable. But given that this is a totally different concept, I think we can delete the unsourced thing we have here, rather than struggling to write up an orphan article on this neologism just to put something under this title when fields like this are prone to neologisms, many of which we do not have articles for/are not notable. -Crossroads- (talk) 19:59, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sources in the article are WP:ROUTINE coverage like had bed bugs in her apartment and used the media to get free help, and did something quirky around a President, but notability is not inherited per WP:NOTINHERITED.

Keep: WP:SIGCOV exists. She received the President's Volunteer Service Award - danced with the Obamas. and McLaurin received a volunteer community service award from Mayor Vincent C. Gray in recognition of her volunteer work. (The awards do not qualify her for WP:ANYBIO) but the woman managed to make herself notable through longevity and getting into international news [BBC so the article passes our GNG with WP:RS https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/virginia-mclaurin-109-birthday-harlem-globetrotters_n_5a9ee9a3e4b0d4f5b66b0ca2 Huffington Post ]. The writing in the article may be promotional however WP:NOTCLEANUP [ Wm335td (talk) 20:31, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All of the coverage of her is WP:ROUTINE bed bug stuff or WP:ONEEVENT news features centered around some jiggling she did when meeting a president. None of that is sustained WP:SIGCOV of her life or deeds. She is an ordinary woman who happens to live in D.C. which is full of prominent people, some of whom she happened to have met or get awards from as countless others do, but she doesn't inherit their notability.

@JFG The BBC "source" is just a video only notable and recorded because it had a president in it, not her, the ESPN article is a short little opinion fluff piece, not hard WP:SIGCOV of her, and the Washington Post article is a fluff feature only in existence because she did something quirky around a president, which is where the bulk of "her" coverage comes from. She and her bed bugs are not notable, Barrack Obama is. Newshunter12 (talk) 04:38, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've done all the cleanup I could. Found more in-depth coverage at The Independent, and removed some bad sourcing.

Some routine press here and a show produced for CBC TV I am inclined to say that a media company is known by their work but I am going to keep researching before an ivote. They look to have won significant awards. Lightburst (talk) 21:05, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Response Even if notable programming or movies were produced by Marblemedia, notability is not inherited. We require two in-depth articles on the company that contains independent content - passing mentions fail as they aren't in-depth, press releases fail as they aren't regarded as having independent content. It is incorrect to state that Marblemedia was nominated for the 2019 Canadian Screen Award and I know they state this on their website but it is misleading. The nomination was for the TV program and not for the production. Similarly, the rest of the awards on their website are similarly misleading. You say that you are "inclined to say that a media company is known by their work" - I'd say that has nothing to do with the notability of the company and it isn't supported by any of our policies or guidelines.

Pedophile press[edit]

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

Sneaky pedophilia advocacy dressed up to look encyclopedic. This topic needs WP:TNT and does not meet WP:GNG.

It has 71.3% authorship by, and was started by, a user who mainly or only edited pedophilia articles and is now banned.

"Pedophile press" is not distinct from child pornography or pedophile advocacy. Google bears out that the topic is not notable. The list here has no encyclopedic value. It probably was created to promote these publications. Three links to pedophile groups still remain in the references, to Ipce, BoyWiki, and Alice Lovers.

Some material was recently removed. A careful reading of this material shows even more the pedophile advocacy motivation behind this article. It contained 3 more links to Ipce and 2 to another pedophile advocacy site called "exitinterview.biz", along with 2 others that looked suspicious but were dead links. It contained lines such as "Experts on pedophilia as Frits Bernard and Edward Brongersma..." (these men were actually pedophile activists) and "In 1987 was launched in Netherland Paidika: The Journal of Paedophilia, a scholarly journal which took a positive scholarly approach towards the study of pedophilia.[13] From the beginning, Paidika differentiated from other pedophilia-related publications. It had a professional layout and an impressive editorial board which reviewed the submissions to the journal. During its nine years of publication, Paidika managed to remain faithful to Bullough's (1990, 320) observation and publish a great number of well researched scholarly articles." (Did you catch how scholarly it was?)

Oops you are right, my apologies. --Dom from Paris (talk) 15:30, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - According to SCOPUS her most cited work by far is this review with 239 citations. However, from my time looking at citations here it seems like reviews in biomedicine get cited way more than primary papers. So I'm not convinced a cited review indicates that a person's work has impacted the field in the same way that highly cited primary literature does. Her other most cited papers have 89 and 88 citations (with her as first author), and 53 citations (with her as last author). So while I think this is a bit of an edge case, I agree with nom that these citation counts are generally too low to demonstrate that the subject's "research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline". Happy to be persuaded otherwise by others. Cheers Ajpolino (talk) 21:18, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@RebeccaGreen: It's great that you were able to find more sources! Do either the New Scientist or the The Australian pieces focus in any depth on Ford? Sadly I don't have access to either. I don't think she meets WP:NPROF, but I'm more than open to the argument that she meets WP:GNG; I just can't see a few of the sources. Thanks all! Ajpolino (talk) 17:35, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ajpolino: Here are the articles you mentioned. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Australian media, but the Sydney Morning Herald and the Adelaide Advertiser are state-wide papers, not just city papers. The New Scientist article has a history of research into breast cancer in mice and discovery of that virus in humans. The bits about Ford are:

"Over the following years, several other groups reported similar findings. In 2000, Polly Etkind at New York Medical College not only found MMTV sequences in human breast cancer tissue, but also found that some samples harboured more than one strain of MMTV, suggesting multiple recent infections. In 2003, Caroline Ford, now at Lund University in Malmö, Sweden, detected MMTV sequences in 42 per cent of breast tumour samples from Australian women, but in just 1.8 per cent (2 out of 111) of samples of normal breast tissue. Ford's team also found MMTV sequences in six of nine male breast tumours examined. And when Ford investigated the two samples of normal breast tissue that tested positive, she found one came from a woman who had had a tumour in the other breast, while the other came from a woman who developed a tumour after the sample was taken. ..... In Vietnam, just I per cent of women develop breast cancer, and when Ford looked at samples from Vietnamese women in her 2003 study, she found MMTV sequences in just 0.8 per cent of tumour samples and none in samples of normal breast tissue. ..... The most recent studies by Ford and others, however, have been based on looking for MMTV sequences in tumours that do not resemble any known HERVs. What's more, these sequences have not been found in normal tissue from the same individuals, as would be expected if they were HERVs. "This suggests a recent infection and integration of viral DNA," Ford says.

Other researchers are not convinced. No one has yet isolated the entire MMTV genome in one piece from a human cancer cell and shown that it yields viruses able to infect cells, points out Robert Weinberg of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, winner of a Nobel prize for his work on viruses and cancer. ........ None of the supporters of the MMTV hypothesis are claiming to have provided conclusive proof. "Our results, and those of others, only indicate an association and point to some possible implications," says Pogo. "We have not claimed causation in any of our papers." Ford agrees. "This work is preliminary, and the topic as a whole is still really in its infancy," she says.

The Australian is about someone else questioning her research and the award. It had a paragraph break after almost every sentence, so I've taken them out:

"A SYDNEY PhD student has found herself at the centre of a scientific cyber row after a national award led to her breast cancer research gaining international publicity. In the science world equivalent of David and Goliath, University of NSW student Caroline Ford finds herself pitted against 2003 Victoria Prize winner David Vaux. Apart from questioning the validity of Ms Ford's research, Dr Vaux has also attacked the structure of the Fresh Science award and called for changes to its format. Fresh Science is a national program to highlight work of young Australian scientists that has received no media attention. All nominated work must have undergone peer review and have been published academically, as the main criteria in selecting the winner is the candidate's ability to explain their research. After her win, Ms Ford's research, which highlighted a link between breast cancer and a virus, gained media exposure in the ABC, the BBC, international and national newspapers, and was picked up on wire services from Spain to Mexico. Dr Vaux, who has been honoured for his pioneering work in the molecular biology of cancer, believes her findings are 'most certainly wrong' and during the debate on the Australian Science Communicators email list branded them 'junk science'. He has called on her research team to repeat the study using a more recognised technique -- a move Ms Ford has rejected. He has also called for an expert panel to judge the science of the nominees in future Fresh Science events. But according to Fresh Science co-ordinator Niall Byrne, Ms Ford's science had been subject to peer review as part of her publication in the international journal Clinical Cancer Research. The validity of her results was an issue for that community, he told the HES, adding that he saw the dispute as a 'case of two reputable research teams having a dispute over technique and the interpretation of results'. Mr Byrne pointed to the example of Barry Marshall, whose work on the role of infectious agents in the cause of stomach ulcers was resisted by the medical community but later proven. 'This may lead nowhere, but we shouldn't hide the idea,' he said. Dr Vaux said he supported Mr Byrne's view that the public should know science was not perfect. However, Dr Vaux said that where public health was at stake, unconfirmed reports should not be reported. He pointed to the scare over the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine link to autism that sent immunisation rates plummeting. If Ms Ford's findings were right, he said, it meant breast cancer was contagious and that women with the disease should be quarantined to prevent its spread. 'I believe that scientists have a responsibility to challenge reports that they think are wrong when they are in the public domain and they think they have the potential of causing harm,' Dr Vaux said. Ms Ford told the HES she believed scientific debate was 'really important', but preferred not to comment further. However, in an email to the Australian Science Communicators, she said the 'pejorative and personal comments by Dr Vaux are inappropriate and unjustified scientifically'."

I haven't tried to find the Spanish, Mexican, etc, coverage of her 2003 findings that this article mentions. Hope this helps, cheers, RebeccaGreen (talk) 19:22, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - please note that this article was written as part of an edit-a-thon to celebrate women working in the STEMM area (particularly in Australia).

I don't believe that we are doing anyone or the encyclopedia a service by erring on the side of keeping or for that matter deleting. As you said, when I reviewed and nominated it the article had already been edited by 8 different editors including 2 administrators so I really think the "showing good faith to a new editor" boat had already sailed as was less than a dot on the horizon so I honestly don't understand your comment. --Dom from Paris (talk) 11:48, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have added more sources and some more information about her research. She, and her PhD research in 2003, gained national and international media attention after she won a national award. There has been more media attention on her recent research. I believe that she meets WP:GNG, or WP:BASIC ("If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" - there is significant depth of coverage about her research, less about her personally, but plenty to confirm where she has worked and what she has worked on (and at least one that gives her age, though I haven't added that info to the article); or WP:NACADEMIC #7 "The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity."

For some reason, despite my attempts in good faith in trying to improve the article per Wikipedia's standards, it was nominated for deletion with the same exact reasons stated in the first notice--essentially disregarding the later edits that I surmise solve the valid issues raised.

Draftify. He played in an FFA Cup match but, as Giant Snowman rightly points out, it was not against another fully-pro team so I agree that disqualifies him for the present as regards NFOOTY. Possible confusion here because the infobox records no appearances for the Mariners but the infobox counts league matches only. There is nearly enough coverage for the GNG with the potential for much more, so I think a deletion at present would be hasty.

I did miss the fact that the first match with his new team was against a semi-professional team, so I do agree that WP:NFOOTBALL is not met at the time. Still, I think that being honored as youth player of the year does provide some level of notability, I also found a few other sources that provide additional coverage. I think that keeping it until the match mentioned by Pharaoh of the Wizards probably makes sense. In the worst case it should be draftified or moved to the user space of the author. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 16:28, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify – meets my draftify criteria: there is one WP:GNG source [16], but I don't see a second to make this a "keep", but the player is active and still playing in a top league (A-League), so a second GNG source may be written in the next six months, and then it can be moved from draftspace to mainspace. – Levivich 21:41, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These championships do not appear to be in a "major amateur or professional competition", as specified by SPORTSPERSON; likewise, the "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject" that he "is likely to have received" is also absent. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 23:54, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not major if not notable. Please provide substantial coverage from multiple, independent, reliable sources to indicate that AfD subject is notable. There don't seem to be any. There doesn't seem to be a particular reason to think that there would be. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 08:17, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SPORTSPERSON shows a clear presumption of notability for participants at his level in any sport. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:36, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Where do you get this "clear presumption"? SPORTSPERSON says "...major amateur or professional competition or won a significant honor". I deny that he has done so, for lack of evidence that any of his awards could be termed "major" or "significant" in terms of WP's concept of notability. You decline to evidence that any of these awards are notable. Fortunately, SPORTSPERSON includes a link to "Main Page" Wikipedia:Notability (sports), where the results of "rule of thumb" discussions about participation and success in competitions in various sports are collected. I observe that none of his competitions are mentioned, nor even is hang gliding mentioned at all. Again, I request that you please provide evidence that this subject is notable based on substantial coverage from independent, reliable sources. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 01:31, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is obvious that "major amateur or professional competition" means such within each individual sport. The fact that hang gliding and paragliding are not listed as specific sports is utterly and completely irrelevant. It just means nobody has done so yet. So yes, he has a clear presumption of notability, as I said. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:59, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While a world championship may be notable within the confines of a minority sport, I'm doubtful that it meets the requirements of GNG which are based on "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Keep I have found and added coverage from digitised newspapers (I haven't yet looked in Google Books, so Slashme's comment suggests that there are more references that can be added). (I also found some more information about competitions he won, but not being familiar with the sport, I have hesitated to add information that I might get muddled - eg some Australian sources talk about world championship competitions in Australia, while British sources say he won Australian championships - do they mean world championships in Australia? or did the Australian sources mean that it was an Australian championship with entrants from around the world??) There certainly is enough coverage to meet WP:GNG or WP:BASIC. As other editors have pointed out, he has won numerous world and national championships. He has also won two Royal Aero Club Gold Medals. These should all mean that he at least meets WP:ANYBIO, even if there aren't specific WP:SNG for hang gliders. I have de-orphaned the page, but if there were better coverage of hang gliding and paragliding championships on Wikipedia, or a list of winners of the Royal Aero Club Gold Medal, there would be many more links to his name. Pinging Hobbes Goodyear as having mentioned that they would reconsider if SIGCOV was found. Perhaps No Great Shaker would also like to look at the coverage. I must say that I can't see much evidence of original research, but anything that is could be edited anyway. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:48, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dadi Theater Circuit[edit]

This unreferenced article isn't a WP:HOAX; this [19] Hollywood Reporter article seems to confirm Dadi is China's third largest theater chain . However, being the third largest of anything usually isn't a cause for inherent notability. A basic BEFORE (JSTOR, newspapers.com, Google News, Google Books) fails to find any further RS.

It is the largest acquisition in the Chinese exhibition market so far. The deal further strengthens Dadi’s position in China (in terms of screen count) and enhances its competitiveness with the market leader Wanda Cinema. Wanda operates approximately 3,000 screens at end of 2016, while Dadi comes in second with 2,442 screens after the deal (membership cinemas not included here). As one of the top 10 cinema investors in the market, OSGH cinemas are mainly located in tier 1 and tier 2 cities, which is a good complement to Dadi’s tier 3 and tier 4 locations.
...
Now, in the beginning of 2017, Dadi acquired OSGH, which is the largest acquisition among them.
...
Taking Dadi as an example, Dadi Cinemas is an official circuit, but Dadi Group also has another company Dadi Cinema Investment which has the real purchasing power.

The article notes:

Dadi Cinema Group, mainland China’s second-largest cinema investment and management company, plans to build as many as 60 new outlets this year, focusing on lower-tier cities where people have more spare time to make the trip to a cinema.
The group, trailing only Wanda Cinema Line in China in size, will also actively seek acquisition targets to increase the number of screens it owns following the purchase of Golden Harvest’s mainland cinema arm early this year, according to Dadi chief executive Yu Xin.
...
At present, Dadi owns more than 400 cinemas and about 2,500 screens across the mainland.
At the start of 2017, it paid 3.3 billion yuan (US$485 million) to buy out City Entertainment Corp, a subsidiary of Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment (Holdings), which operates and manages 76 cinemas with 531 screens on the mainland.
The article further notes:
Dadi Film Distribution, a sister company of Dadi Cinema, books film screenings at a further 400 partner cinemas in the country.
Both Dadi Cinema and Dadi Film Distribution are controlled by Dadi Film Group.

Hong Kong-listed investment firm Nan Hai, Dadi Digital Cinema’s parent company, is to pay $475 million (RMB3.28 billion) for 93% of OSGH’s China business. The China division has 76 theaters in China with a total of 531 screens. At the end of 2016, Dadi reported operating 350 theaters in 164 towns and cities. They had a combined 1,911 screens.

Dadi itself has recently sought the financial support of outside investors. Last year it sold $154 million of convertible bonds to Alibaba Pictures Group. And this month Huayi Brothers Media confirmed that it had paid $11.5 million for a 4.6% stake in Dadi.

From Google Translate:

The business model of Dadi Cinema is fundamentally different from Wanda Cinema. Wanda mainly uses the commercial real estate model to arrange Wanda Plaza and Wanda Cinema in large cities, and actively promotes high-end film consumption such as IMAX giant screen. From the very beginning, Dadi Cinema has determined the development strategy of deep-growing second- and third-tier cities, and adopted all Digital projection technology while maintaining reasonable (low) fares. With the growth of the audience in the second and third tier cities, the number of theaters in the world reached 100 in 2011, and exceeded 200 in 2015. At present, the number of cinemas in the company has soared to 350, making it the second largest film studio in the country after Wanda Cinema.

The article notes:

It is understood that in recent years, the "family" of the fast-growing geodetic system includes the three major sectors: the land theater, the land distribution and the land film. Among them, Dadi Cinema is a professional film investment company. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Kong-listed company “Nanhai Holdings”. Its theaters are self-built, using “Dadi” and “Free People” brands, and the future “Orange Sky Golden Harvest” "The brand will continue to retain, to achieve the parallel operation of the three brands, while the land and television film is mainly engaged in content computing.
The earth-based affiliate company, Dadi Cinema, was listed on the New Third Board in early 2016. Its business provides management, announcement, and typesetting advertising for the theater, and all theaters are joined.
...
Poly Theatre Line and Dadi Cinema Group are the practitioners of the second model. Taking the spread of the land as an example, the production team has been formed, and the Dadi distribution and the Dadi Theater Group have been established. This year, the transformation of the giant curtain hall will be passed. Add some content of stage plays and musicals. At the same time, through the "movie +" strategy, the sale of goods, advertising, catering and so on.

The article notes:

Dadi Cinema is affiliated with Dadi Communication Group, and Dadi Communication Group and Nanhai Development (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. and China Digital Information Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as China Digital) belong to Hong Kong listed company Nanhai Holdings (0680).
Similar to Wanda Cinema and Jinyi Cinema, Nanhai Holdings, the parent company of Dadi Cinema, is also a well-known real estate company like Wanda Group (the parent company of Wanda Cinema) and Jiayu Group (the parent company of Jinyi Cinema). The current land bank and the number of projects under construction and proposed projects of Nanhai Holdings totaled over 2 million square meters. It should be said that the deep background of real estate enterprises is the key factor for the development of theaters in the second and third-tier cities, and the accurate location of the theaters. At the same time, in the business model, Wanda is embedded in commercial real estate, SHOPPING MALL, and also real estate. The development of business models brought about by corporate genes – of course, most of the DH is embedded in third-party real estate projects rather than own projects like Wanda.
Different from Wanda Cinema and all other cinema companies, Dadi Cinema is a cinema company incubating from an IT company. Brothers China Digital (250) is also a Hong Kong listed company. It was established in 1999 and set foot in the company. Areas include enterprise IT application services, financial and financial information services, distance education services, culture and communication. China Digital began to enter the Chinese film industry in 2003. In 2005, it first launched a digital cinema construction project in Guangdong. At the same time, it began to cooperate with well-known universities and research institutions in China to develop digital cinema technology. The Dadi Cinema and China Digital's headquarters are located in the Digital Manor, a software park in the Economic and Technological Development Zone in Yizhuang, Beijing. Mr. Fang Bin, general manager of Dadi Cinema, told the author that the early team of the earth included himself as an IT person. “We are not traditional filmmakers. We are all from IT companies. The president is also from IT companies. We are in our hearts. There is an IT mindset and a digital mindset."

The Hong Kong-listed investment firm Nan Hai (SEHK: 680) owns Dadi Film Group, which controls Dadi Cinema Group and Dadi Film Distribution. Dadi Cinema Group is another name for Dadi Theater Circuit. There is currently only a Wikipedia article about Dadi Theater Circuit. A consolidated article about Nan Hai or Dadi Film Group may make more sense.

Armdale Rotary[edit]

Article about a pretty run of the mill piece of road infrastructure, not reliably sourced as clearing WP:ROADOUTCOMES. The sole footnote being cited here is a press release from the city government, which is not a notability-conferring source -- and the external links aren't evidence of notability either, comprising merely its location on Google Maps and a non-notable Movable Type blogger's page of rotary-(un)inspired haiku. As always, the notability bar for a road is not merely the ability to demonstrate that it exists -- it requires reliably sourced political, social or historical context for what might make the road important, but the only content here that even starts to tip in that direction is a completely unsourced anecdotal claim that driving on it used to piss some people off (which is hardly an "inherently" notable characteristic of a road in and of itself, as anybody who's ever driven on practically any arterial road in any big city can tell you.)

Delete Unclear why Andrew thinks a routine traffic engineering case study makes this notable - surely not every concept presented on at a transportation conference automatically gets an article. This is neither a peer-reviewed article nor published in a journal so it is not a strong source for establishing notability. I do not see any sources that attest to this being anything other than one of the generic roundabouts and traffic circles in Canada.

International Journal of Greek Love[edit]

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

This very-short-lived academic (?) journal about pederasty/pedophilia fails WP:GNG. Note that it published only 2 issues 53 years ago.

GNG requires "[1.] significant coverage in [2.] reliable sources that are [3.] independent of the subject". ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention". "[M]ultiple sources are generally expected."

Examining the sources in the article, we find that three of the references are to the journal itself, and the external link is to a personal website that contains the journal's content. The two links in the infobox are just to library catalogs, which do not confer notability. The first and fourth refs are trivial mentions (note that the versions in the article are dead links).

Okay, let's look for new sources. Regular Google turns up some personal website; "BoyWiki" (which is exactly what you suspect); Google Books, Amazon, and WorldCat listings for the publication itself; the external link from before; a small specialist wiki; and a Routledge book edited by Vern Bullough. This book entry may be the best source; but its material is mainly about eulogizing (really) the journal's sex offender editor Walter Breen, and the journal is secondary. We do not have multiple sources; all the other search types turn up trivial mentions or (very few) citations; the only one that maybe looks promising turns out to be published by Lulu Press, a self-publisher.

This article was created by a user who mostly edited in pedophilia articles and is now banned. It links to the site "exitinterview.biz" four times; this is a site that is on the subject of "how can people of different generations interact with each other in a way that benefits both....I will focus on the interrelationships of boys and men." An examination of the rest of that page and the "research" he has collected here makes clear that this is a pedophilia advocacy site. The main point however is that the journal does not meet GNG.

This AfD is very detailed because I originally prodded the article, but this was removed by an editor who said it is "notable for its place in the MZB and Breen history". I don't see how this helps it meet GNG. Not everything a notable person works on is itself notable. -Crossroads- (talk) 05:06, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The earlier now deleted page was deleted for being a copy and paste from a licence-incompatible wiki, see Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations/2012-05-24. This page is two of the same paragraphs, looking at the deleted revisions. The first paragraph of Pedophile press is also the same previously deleted licence-incompatible content; and I suspect that the rest is as well, as it seems that the banned user could not write in the first place anyway.

Plagiarism of promotional blurb in lieu of writing is bad. Copyright problems are also bad. All of that where the source promotional blurb is "BoyWiki" is wholly unacceptable.

2019 New York Cosmos season[edit]

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

Article fails WP:N. The New York Cosmos are not playing in a sanctioned professional league in 2019. The second team competed in the National Premier Soccer League, a non-professional league that is not sanctioned by the United States Soccer Federation. The main team will compete in the NPSL Members Cup this year but that is not a USSF sanctioned league. ColeTrain4EVER (talk) 03:54, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of New York-related deletion discussions. Coolabahapple (talk) 12:10, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As stated in the article, this page is for the 2019 New York Cosmos season in the NPSL Members Cup. The information about the NPSL and the U.S. Open Cup is included for a narrative story about the 2019 season and it is stated repeatedly that it is the amateur Cosmos B squad in these competition. The NPSL Members Cup is a USASA sanctioned league. Though the USASA is the governing body for amateur clubs, the competition is a professional league. The teams in the NPSL Members Cup consist of paid, non collegiate binded players. If there is a rule that only USSF sanctioned leagues may have club season pages on wikipedia, that is fine. But I was under the impression that as long as the team AND league are professional, this is allowed. Tychu9 (talk) 3:10 11 August 2019

None of these reasons are valid for why the Cosmos should have a page for the 2019 season. Per WP:NSEASONS and WP:GNG, the only reason an individual club may have a season page is if they played in a fully-professional league or if there is enough independent secondary coverage of their season, neither of which apply here. The only competition the Cosmos are playing this year is the NPSL Members Cup. The club only played their "B" team in the National Premier Soccer League and the U.S. Open Cup. Neither of these three tournaments is a fully-professional soccer league. The NPSL is a semi-professional soccer league and the U.S. Open Cup is a soccer cup competition which encompasses clubs from very amateur to fully-professional. The NPSL Members Cup is also just a soccer cup tournament, not a league. It doesn't matter if the club itself is fully-professional, the league overall needs to be professional, which the Cosmos have not played in. You can argue that the Members Cup is a fully-professional league but you would have to go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues and make your case there, not here. ArsenalFan700 (talk) 02:57, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Article fails WP:NSEASONS and WP:GNG. The NPSL is not a WP:FPL and the Cosmos only fielded a "B" team in that anyway. The NPSL Members Cup is also not a fully-professional soccer league, and just a soccer cup tournament. Also, since there is no reliable independent secondary sources upon which to base this article on, we shouldn't have this article. ArsenalFan700 (talk) 02:57, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What would this argument be based on? Im trying to understand the thinking that leads to articles like this being created. In a city near and dear to my heart, 4 people were stabbed in July at a party. Two others in the middle of downtown also in July. The number of people stabbed in the poorer (and browner/blacker) areas of the city isnt even something I can find reported on. This in a city that so far this year has 296 murders this year. Stabbings are so incredibly routine in some cities they are not even reported in the local news. How is this anything other than a news story that nobody will note in any way in 6 months? I see the lineup here and it's pretty clear this will be kept, but I legit dont understand how people think this is an encyclopedia article or even a topic that possibly could be turned into one. nableezy - 14:35, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is no claim in the article about anybody being or having anything to do with immigration, no article categories link to anything to do with immigration. The article has nothing to do with immigration. Yet aspersions are being made about "crime", "immigration", and "illegal immigration," which are three entirely unrelated subjects that have nothing to do with each other, and much less with this article, nor this AfD.

It doesn't matter that some Irish media sites wrote a few gossipy or promo stories on her. That's not the issue here. The issue is she is NOT a notable model because she has no career to speak of. Going to the Playboy Mansion a few times isn't an accomplishment. Thousands of other women have done the same for decades. She never actually became a Playmate.

Delete a non-notable model.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:47, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. To add, page is orphan and SPA-created, likely fan/vanity. Agricola44 (talk) 17:33, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Contra the nom and other votes, I think it doesn't matter what her career actually looks like, it matters what the quality of the sources and their coverage is. I count 4 refs to The Mirror, 1 in each of about 9 other british papers, 1 in a Filipino paper, and 1 reference to her own website. Are any of the british papers reliable (or even reliable adjacent)? I suppose someone should go see if any other sources exist rather than just WP:IDONTLIKEIT. The last deletion discussion involved someone saying the articles were not a single flurry of activity, but were spaced out over months. That might indicate passing the ~~third~~ second criterion in WP:NMODEL. Rockphed (talk) 11:48, 15 August 2019 (UTC) (updated at 12:16, 15 August 2019 (UTC))[reply]

I have written well over 100 modeling articles, clearly I would know what equates to NMODEL by now. If you think this is “IDONTLIKEIT” when I blatantly pointed out that the sources are gossip and promotion, not limited to the BANNED Daily Mail, then I can’t help you. Buy some common sense. The Sun, The Star, or any other of the celestially named tabloids are not reliable whatsoever. One has to have a modeling career to begin with to be a “notable” model. What “notable” modeling work has she done? Nothing. Period. As exemplified by her own words

What is your proudest moment in terms of modeling? My proudest moment so far would have to be hanging out with the main man himself, Mr. Hugh Hefner! He is such an icon and it was great to meet him. For a young Irish girl from a very small town, it's definitely a world apart from where I come from. It was a huge honor!

At what point did she actually model for Playboy. Or anywhere for besides her Instagram account for that matter. Trillfendi (talk) 16:11, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Since WP:NMODEL is actually WP:NENT, let's go through it. I think we can ignore the third criterion (made a unique, prolific, or innovative impact on their field) and focus on the first 2. Has she actually had significant roles in multiple notable works? This is completely unsupported by the evidence (and probably contradicted by evidence). Does she have a cult following? She had a variety of pieces written about her in a variety of (completely unreliable) places over the course of some months. She still has the occasional piece written about her (albeit the pieces seem to be in the same vein and locations as they were 5 years ago). Does that indicate a cult following, or simply that she has a decent publicist who schedules interviews with tabloids? I don't know.

As for why I said this reeks of IDONTLIKEIT, the reasons given by the nom and two delete votes to date are "ignore the sources, she has a failed career", "not notable", and "orphan written by a SPA", and are almost quotes from WP:DIDNOTWIN, WP:JUSTNOTNOTABLE, and WP:ORPHS respectively. Frankly, I am not going to shed a single tear if this article gets deleted, but process is important. If this article gets deleted with the weak justification here, then overturning the delete (especially in the face of 2 previous keep consensuses) will be trivial. If you want to drive a stake through the black heart of this article (because you think it is about a non-notable person and is probably being used as advertising and promotion by said person), you should be using policy based reasons for doing so.

British music[edit]

I don't think a disambiguation page is necessary here. I can understand French music being a disambiguation because there is French language music outside of France, but the term "British music" exclusively refers to music of the United Kingdom. —SpanishSnake (talk | contribs) 20:36, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect I really don't see how this passes WP:GNG as an article, the KentuckyFriedCruelty.com section feels completely trivial leaving one paragraph at the top.

Delete not enough sourcing to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:48, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment She's an actress, so the WP:SNG WP:NACTOR would apply. I am checking to see what she has appeared in - on stage, she has played Linda, Mrs. Johnstone and (apparently) Mrs Lyons in UK tours of Blood Brothers (musical). I can find other stage performances too. Of the TV shows, she certainly seems to have had a significant role in Springhill (TV series). In Bread (TV series), she played the girlfriend of one of the major characters in 8 episodes and a Christmas special - she appeared towards the end of Season 6, and throughout Season 7, at the end of which they were going to?/did? get married, so that is also a pretty significant role. I think she probably does meet WP:NACTOR - I will keep looking and add more sources and info to the article (I've already started adding some biographical info). RebeccaGreen (talk) 08:15, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete looks like she does not pass WP:BIO and WP:ACTOR to me mainly because she will unlikely land any significant roles anytime soon. Sheldybett (talk) 11:31, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Few trivial mentions but can't check all sources (paywalled). But, claim to notability is not convincing. Agricola44 (talk) 16:40, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep has two prominent roles in notable productions for WP:NACTOR in Springfield and also in Bread which was a prime-time hit on BBC1, as well as prominent stage roles, the referencing on the article is being improved since the nomination Atlantic306 (talk) 21:16, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have added tables of some of her stage and TV roles. I believe that she does meet WP:NACTOR #1 "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." Her multiple roles in productions of Blood Brothers in the West End and in regional centres are significant, as is her role in A Taste of Honey. The Tommy Cooper Show does not (yet) have a WP article, but her role in that is also significant. On TV, she has had significant roles in Springhill (TV series) and Bread (TV series). I am not as happy with the references as I would like to be - I have used listings more than reviews. But WP:NACTOR does not require multiple reviews, and the references do verify her parts in those productions. If I can find more reviews, I will add them. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:12, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep She probably just passes the WP:NACTOR test but I'm not convinced that she passes the WP:GNG test. Currently, the only reference that is genuinely about her is the (basically useless) two-paragraph blurb from 30 years ago in the Liverpool Echo. Pichpich (talk) 21:23, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. GBooks search indicates that the book seems to have attracted a typical amount of review coverage when it came out, to be recognized as significant by later scholarship, and to be discussed at length in some scholarly sources eg.
