So far none of these sources convince me. They’re either self-published, blogs, pay to play vanity books, and/or lack significant coverage. Looks to me like someone has been successful at self-promoting not just on Wikipedia. You’re making a case for the agency above, but remember this is a page about the man not his businesss. Grey Wanderer (talk) 15:55, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As I look at the list of Sports agents and their individual articles, a lot of them just consist of a mention of a prominent client(s). This article is close to, if not better than, that. 7&6=thirteen () 16:16, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've flipped through some of the Sports agent articles you've referenced. The difference that these other articles are supported by citations from, among other things, The New York Times, the New York Post, CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated, MLB.com, and plenty of other reliable sources. Information about Nick Brockmeyer comes from Nick Brockmeyer. His agency, which represents "about 40" athletes (according to him) has no indication that any of these athletes are notable at all. Similarly, the claim that this agency is the largest agency in Missouri comes solely from Brockmeyer as well. Think of it this way. If this article was deleted, where would you go to read about this guy? Other sports agents can be found in major publications. This guy can't. Cosmic Sans (talk) 16:59, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Follow Up After checking the history of the page, I think there's a strong likelihood that it was created by the subject of the page. Cosmic Sans (talk) 13:52, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly, the company exists. I see no reason to doubt the accuracy of the sources. This article exists in pari materia with the article about the agency, which was deleted, see here. 7&6=thirteen () 14:38, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Outside of interviews with Nick and articles published by Nick (I believe the Bloomberg information is self-reported), there are barely any references to this business. The references that do exist are quite old. For example, the most recent source in the article, aside from Bloomberg which is undated, is March of 2011. Ultimately there's a real lack of RS on this individual or his business. Cosmic Sans (talk) 14:57, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. I've assessed all the comments and !votes with interest. A quick review here would be beneficial. The keep !votes of Willthacheerleader18 and Hninthuzar have no reference or allusions to any notability guideline. That leaves one keep !vote of Epiphyllumlover, which I have considered despite not understanding what the editor means by "third party treatments". All delete !votes reference either the nom or relevant notability guidelines (the lack of, that is). It is reasonable under these circumstances to assess consensus as delete.

Sources include a paid obituary, a caption of a photograph, passing mentions about the church, and passing mentions about his wife.

  • As I stated on the article's talk page, I did not add any exaggeration to the article in order to "keep it", and I don't appreciate being accused of doing so. The Reverend Prince Arnold zu Windisch-Graetz, one of Chicago's longest serving Pastors, passed away while serving in his 40th year is clearly stated here. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 22:38, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I stand corrected. There's a reliable sources problem since it's claimed by family/friends in a paid death notice, but it's there. I don't know how I missed it. (I keep getting confused because there's a paid notice, then a reporter-written obituary that has different things.) --Closeapple (talk) 22:57, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course, there are X number of pastors in Chicago, of which Y are younger and less experiences and Z are older and more experienced. He was older and was indeed among the longest-serving in the city at that time by a simple distribution. This is no claim to notability though. Reywas92Talk 04:18, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What especially makes him unusual is that his church spoke German. At the time, there were only a handful of Lutheran churches in the US which spoke German. I think there is only one now. If you delete this article, you remove some of the collective history of immigration/assimilation. These details on historical movements are often only captured by biographical treatments. This must have been the tail end of the German diaspora. His congregation must have been made up of WWII refugees brought over after the war by LIRS or maybe POW camp members who never went home. If you leave the article, I would imagine some of his life or historian work along these lines might eventually be flushed out. In general, Wikipedia has very little material about the post WWII diaspora in the U.S.
He passes the notability test because he has multiple third-party treatments. Also, he was an immigrant who married a German consul. Was she east German or west German? This sort of thing is helpful for people tracing political relationships.
Of the sources listed, 1,2,3,4,5,6,8 and 9 are all third party. Typically the ministers deleted here for notability have no or nearly no third party references, only church references.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 20:10, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. If you think this congregation is notable, then make an article for it and justify your assumptions. He is not. If you think his wife is notable for being a consul, make an article for her. He is not. If you want more content on the diaspora then expand German Americans or a subarticle, but this article is not linked in that. What makes you think these sources are "treatments"? These are passing mentions and there are not multiple substantive sources on him to establish notability:
Source assessment table:
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
[10] No Paid death notice No Yes No
[11] Yes Yes Yes Yes
[12] Yes Yes No Brief mention of the church, brief mention of him in a photo caption No
[13] Yes Yes No Passing mention - quotation from wife of the late pastor No
[14] Yes Yes No Passing mention that he was the pastor No
[15] Yes Yes No Passing mention that he was the pastor No
[16] Yes Yes No Passing mention that his widow made a donation No
[17] Yes Yes No He is not mentioned at all! No
[18] Yes Yes No Passing mention that his wife was a member of this group, among many other people No
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using ((source assess table)).
So there is the one local obituary that is mainly the death notice plus a few quotations from his widow and people who knew him, as obituaries go. Perhaps these sources can contribute to content on the church or Germans in America but notability is not established for him. Reywas92Talk 06:07, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Per your guideline link Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case.

Diasporas are not inherently notable. I see little coverage in independent, reliable sources of the diaspora.

Hello, I share the lack of love. If anyone wants to add some names I don't have an issue but they can't be just dropped names. I stopped after randomly picking three, Bajram Ajeti, Bersant Celina, and Mërgim Hereqi. The last one claims Kosovan-Albanian descent in the lead but is unsourced and the other two have no mention of descent so sourcing would be important. Twenty thousand immigrants may or may not be a threshold for notability to a country and the slippery slope could be new lists of any minor immigration to all countries. A main concern with the list of notable people, not backed by sources, that their families might be war related immigrants or actually just migrated or "moved".

Fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. PROD contested on the grounds of passing criteria 7 and 12 of WP:NMUSIC, with the reasoning "having a set on a C4 (Channel 4) channel is a claim to pass WP:NMUSIC as well as being the best in their genre within their regional locality", but I believe both of those reasons are incorrect, as I will explain.

Firstly, the reason for passing criterion 12 is being featured playing two songs on Project4.tv. However, although Project4.tv was set up and supported by 4Music, it's not a national TV station. The band's two songs are archived here [23] and Project4.tv's home page stated that it is "an exclusive TV service for university students... only available to students with a ".ac.uk" address" [24]. So, not a national TV station, just a web streaming service available to a limited number of people.

Secondly, the reason for passing criterion 7 is that their EP was voted number one that year by a local online newspaper. But that isn't the same as saying they are a prominent representative of the local scene, as criterion 7 states... this is a list compiled not according to genre or local scene, but a type of record format with limited releases in the modern era. And was it coincidence that the only local band in the list was number one?

So these are apparently the two most notable sources for the band. The group have no further recordings other than the two EPs mentioned in the article – they split up two months after the release of the second EP. Vocalist Dales and guitarist Hukins immediately formed another band, Maze Canyons, which evolved into their current outfit, Molly Anna (also not notable). The rest of Young Peculiar seem to have left the music industry and found jobs in Sheffield, from what I can track down. Richard3120 (talk) 17:48, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is an article about a Japanese musician. I'm not so much arguing for deletion, as I'm requesting help from Japanese-speaking editors in finding out whether there are enough Japanese-language sources out there to pass WP:GNG. English-language sources are almost completely absent, save for wikipedia mirrors and a few passing mentions about a minor appearance on Lori Carson's album. – Uanfala (talk) 15:46, 2 February 2019 (UTC) – Uanfala (talk) 15:46, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). The references are dependent, local and unreliable. As per WP:INTREF Wikipedia referencing guide, the subject's own website is not an acceptable reference. As per WP:ORG, if no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it. OliverKianzo (talk) 09:56, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • WP is packed with BLPs (and BPs) that meet GNG but will be deleted over the coming years. Historians will not chronicle them in even a hundred years time; despite meeting many of our policies, they are inherently non-notable in the long-term. This subject, almost 500 years later, is still being recorded. Maybe the policy is WP:PRESERVE or WP:NOTPAPER, but this is a well constructed article which does no disservice to WP or its subject (there is no PROMO/COI here).

One of those articles is about seven sentences, a very brief review of her performance. The other is about the same, too brief to be of much use.
Vmavanti (talk) 18:27, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The sourcing on this article which was added yesterday may look adequate, but it isn't. Click on the links under "sources". A citation link is supposed to lead directly to the source of the information. These links don't.
Vmavanti (talk) 17:42, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. For sources in archive.org, that is just how it works - documents open in the middle, and you use the search function (just above the document, on the right) to search for the word(s). For Google Books sources, a link with the search expression could be used, but if not, the search window in the result brings up the relevant page. Offline and paywalled sources are acceptable per WP:SOURCEACCESS, and these are much more easily accessible than that (they WP:NEXIST). Anyone can easily find them (and could easily have found them in a WP:BEFORE search). RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:27, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You are not supposed to link to a search. Readers should not have to do a search after being led to a page by a citation. The citation must lead directly to the information. From what you've said, you've been doing your citations wrong. You can find URLs in both Google Books and archive.org that lead directly to the information. Doing a search isn't necessary.
Vmavanti (talk) 17:49, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
1. These are not my citations - I was explaining why the citations in the article before I added any lead to a search within the source. 2. Why not replace the urls in the citations with the urls that lead directly to the cited information? Editors are not general readers - WP:BEFORE requires editors to perform searches, and encourages us to then cite the sources. RebeccaGreen (talk) 22:32, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have a problem with improving citations. I do it almost every day. I was defending my comment, which you criticized, that the citations had not been done properly. I didn't say you added them. I simply said they were inadequate. I always search before I propose deletion. I continue to be puzzled by the crusader mentality regarding "rescuing" articles and "saving" them from deletion (Oh no!) as though one were saving a drowning child. I don't care either way. As long as the information is sourced.
Vmavanti (talk) 01:30, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Second point. This, too, is a courtesy to the reader: Avoid sources that require payment. I'm baffled by your suggestion that paid sources are "easily accessible". Easy for you maybe, but not everyone can afford to pay for every web site they come across. Let's put readers first.
Vmavanti (talk) 17:51, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
1. It may be your preference to avoid sources that require payment, but it is not Wikipedia policy. 2. I did not say that paid sources are easily accessible, I said that these sources, the sources in the article which require a search within the source, are more easily accessible than paid sources.RebeccaGreen (talk) 22:32, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Two years ago, I initially submitted this page to AfD with the weak rationale of "Not notable", and a result of no consensus. I still believe this song is not notable due to the lack of available sources (typically 7 to 10 for a song article), the fact that the song did not make any notable performance or sales chart, and that it has not been nominated for or awarded a notable award, the latter 2 of which are requirements for WP:NSONG.

  • Actually seems it was a pure copyvio [35]. Whatever the causes of the article creation, I think it's fair to say it had multiple problems. Such sort of stuff tended to be handled more poorly in the past. There's a fair chance now if something similar has happened it would have been caught and handled differently probably via deletion.

  • yes, but being a current event, the outcome of said events may warrant its merit in the long run where it didn't have merit for inclusion prior. Also Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a battleground during current events. If it gets deleted now and then has to be recreated after current events, we have all wasted our time and effort, while waiting for current event events to subside will show if there is any reason for its inclusion. shadzar-talk 11:14, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's not up to admins to decide what should or should not be included on Wikipedia. In addition I find suggestions that the current situation makes him notable seem disingenuous considering how no reliable sources exist to comment on the current situation. Either the sources that talk about the allegations of harassment are reliable, and may confer notability. Or they are not and he's another non-notable individual whose notoriety in a small sub-culture doesn't extend far enough outside its bounds to provide any WP:LASTING coverage. Simonm223 (talk) 16:59, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • who said admins decide is the article should stay? i say for them to decide if it should be protected due to the vandalism prior to and shortly after this delete vote. it makes me wonder as further posts and votes below suggest that maybe the current events could be the only reason driving a vote. that is a bit strange to allow to happen. sure maybe people like myself only came across this article due to recent events, but its always a bit coincidental when two such things coincide. this is why i suggested to hold off on this vote until after recent events and protect the game by admins from vandalism to see what people, as the deletion header notes, find to edit into the article. it may very well not be worth keeping. but it is the timing of the deletion and current events that i am calling into question. shadzar-talk 21:30, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I believe your response is helping us to get towards consensus. We now have an extra week to discuss, and the page is locked to editing for the next few days. If the page is retained, the media coverage picked up by Google News would form a major part of the current article. The new content should reshape the content in general (i.e. by updating it, removing irrelevant or unsourced content, rephrasing to reflect the content from the media coverage), as well as enabling us to create a Sexual Abuse Allegations section.Merxa (talk) 03:46, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Is 'x' a reliable source?" doesn't mean anything. If you mean "a reliable and independent source to demonstrate notability?" then no. The Yellow Pages is a reliable source, in as much as we can trust the information in it is factually accurate, but you can't use it to show that JB's Diner, Brighton is a notable topic (because it isn't). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:08, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Deletion campaign appears to be linked to current events so it should be frozen; if notability evidence (MoMA paintings and 4 books collecting awards, with tabletop RPG major companies enough concerned to publish dedicated statements) are revoked for not being on his page this only indicates this page needs serious update (the fact peoples vandalize his page should be considered as a stark for notability).
  • Deletion decisions are made on the basis of the notability of the individual. The content you anonymously refer to is of minor significance (many individuals similarly accomplish such minor achievements through their lifetimes without the need for an article to be created) and it doesn't justify the existence of this article.Merxa (talk) 10:54, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Honestly this is beginning to almost seem like the best summary policy would be WP:BLP1E. The arguments are either that Smith is notable because his name is attached to media products (which is not grounds for notability) or that Smith is notable because of the controversies surrounding his career of late. However these controversies are 1) the accusations of abuse that arose on social media and 2) the role he played in the fiasco at White Wolf Publishing over We Eat Blood. And the problem with using these controversies to confer notability is that, as is the case with many missing stairs, the discussion of his behaviour is confined to social media conversations and blogs; and both constitute self-published sources which are unable to confer notability. So we have two major categories of source: blogs and social media on one hand, storefronts on the other hand, neither of which confer notability.
  • Frankly this is very frustrating. I would prefer that we have an article that discusses the controversies surrounding Smith if only because an example of a career implosion this severe may be of interest to the historical record of the tabletop gaming industry. However, the reality we have to work with is that, until some major publication deigns to slum it to write an article about abuse in the porn industry, abuse in the the tabletop games industry or how his edge-lord antics at Paradox Interactive contributed to the collapse of White Wolf Publishing, reliable sources are not only absent, but deeply unlikely to arise. Frankly, most of his creative output, whether paintings, games or porn, is far too niche to be of any interest to really anybody in mainstream media or academia. Simonm223 (talk) 12:55, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why discount them? There's coverage over time about him prior to the events of now, and it doesn't look like a "bust" of coverage (which is what SUSTAINED is asking about). --Masem (t) 21:21, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've only spent minutes in any detailed searching but BLP1E would not apply here: he was notable at a fantasy artist, and there was a wholly separate incident with White Wolf that I believe this Zak Smith was connected with (yes, there are multiple poeple with this name so we do need to be careful). In terms of "neutral" recognizing that what he seems to be more notable for is negative press, we just have to be careful of tone in how we write about things. Negative coverage in media is still coverage, just as long as we don't adapt the media's tone from that. --Masem (t) 15:10, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • As somebody with personal connections to the writer-side of the industry, Smith, notwithstanding his controversies is a painfully mundane content developer. The reason the media coverage is almost entirely tied to his negative press is because his contributions when he isn't either harassing women, trolling people on social media or writing deliberately edgy content to drive rage clicks just isn't newsworthy. His work isn't even bad enough, as a whole, to be notably bad. He's just... ordinary; excepting his notable behaviour. I'm citing WP:BLP1E because there isn't sufficient coverage for WP:AUTHOR to apply to his creative work, and his personality-profile articles are at best very sporadic. Which means the fundamental basis of establishing noteworthiness has been his career self-destruct. The stuff with White Wolf was a part of that. In fact, it was effectively exactly what's going on now only that time there was also the issue of the bad taste of his Vampire content output and this time more people are paying attention. Simonm223 (talk) 15:20, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Per consensus that, to the extent there was proper encyclopedic content could be written on the topic, it was already better covered elsewhere. Indeed, even the keep !votes favored moving the article to a different title. I examined the merged material and agree that retention of this history is unnecessary for attribution. While it was not raised explicitly in the discussion, the arguments presented here necessarily implicated a lack of notability, so deletion is appropriate.

  • The old title was plural, and 10 years later, the article contains a single method, that is defined only for polynomials of degree two. So the content does not correspond better to the old title than to the present one. D.Lazard (talk) 14:32, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The single section of this articles called "Complex roots of quadratic polynomials". It belongs naturally to Quadratic equation, and it is there that, normally, a reader would search the content of this section. This is a reason for adding this content to a section "Graphical solution" of this article. I have done that, which does not increases significantly the size of the article (733 bytes). This is not really a merge, as I have completely rewritten the text, and the only things that have been copied are the reference and the figure. Thus, now, we have now a content fork, and this is clearly in this article that the duplicate content deserve to be removed. D.Lazard (talk) 14:32, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @D.Lazard: Not 100% sure what you are saying there, but seems like you have already absorbed the useful parts of this article into another article and that this article is now not useful, and is out of sync with other articles on the same area? Would there ever be a reason to therefore have an article with this title? Britishfinance (talk) 20:47, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are right. If the title would have correctly described the content, I would have simply transformed the article into a redirect. As the title "Geometry of roots of real polynomials" does not correspond to any notable concept, and certainly not to Quadratic equation#Graphical solution (where the useful part of the content has been absorbed), there is no natural target for a redirect. So deletion seems the best option. D.Lazard (talk) 21:10, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioning higher-order polynomials is crucial to this article. It is not "better covered elsewhere" and it justifies "the existence of this article" because it is the article's topic. wumbolo ^^^ 09:20, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  1. This article has no mathematical content. Misleading title aside (which should really mean algebraic geometry in general), this article just briefly states simple techniques one would teach in a secondary school algebra or pre-calculus class (which calls WP:NOTTEXTBOOK to mind).
  2. The idea of plotting a polynomial with real coefficients on a two-dimensional plane over the real numbers is not a noteworthy concept that deserves its own article. It's just a technique one teaches students learning elementary algebra.
  3. There is duplication of the main section with Quadratic equation#Graphical solution.
I'm surprised there is even a discussion about this. — MarkH21 (talk) 04:18, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • If this is a technique that one would teach to "students learning elementary algebra" then it is obviously mathematical content. WP:NOTTEXTBOOK is irrelevant as that's about a style which includes things like leading questions and exercises. More relevant from that section is "A Wikipedia article should not be presented on the assumption that the reader is well-versed in the topic's field. ... the article should be written in plain terms and concepts that can be understood by any literate reader of Wikipedia without any knowledge in the given field ... Texts should be written for everyday readers, not just for academics." An accessible graphical treatment is therefore more appropriate than advanced abstract algebra. Andrew D. (talk) 09:57, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is relevant, because much of the article as it exists sounds like one is trying to instruct the reader how to determine whether real roots exist by graphing. It's not that the material is somehow "too trivial". Nor was I saying that the problem is that the mathematics is written in an accessible manner. It's that it is teaching a simple technique, akin to having a passage illustrating how to find the x-intercept of a line of given slope passing through some given point. By all means I am trying to make math articles more accessible to general readers! — MarkH21 (talk) 10:40, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
more comprehensively describe the topic Of course there are other polynomials (why else would I mention cubics?), though they are not currently discussed in Geometry of roots of real polynomials; hence, I clarify: the bulk of what is there now is more comprehensively described in Quadratic equation.
require double the maintenance work if the same content is presented similarly in two different articles I agree with WP:RELAR, though this discussion concerns the exact same content that is possibly presented in multiple places, not overlapping information that establishes context or draws connections between related topics. A brief summary in one article about the other is acceptable (per WP:SPINOFF), though I'm not so sure about several paragraphs (or sections) of nearly identical content when one article is not the main, detailed description of a topic – that is the scenario to which I am referring.

To editor Rlendog: There is no problem of attribution after the merge, as no text has been copied. I have completely rewritten the description of the method (which was poor), and added a proof that was lacking. In other word, this was a merge of mathematical content, not a merge of text. As a mathematical content is not subject of a copyright nor of any license, there is absolutely no need of merge tags, and no procedural need of keeping any history.
