This album, along with Lovehammers' other three albums with articles, are all stubs and did not achieve any chart success, therefore making their articles unnecessary. JE98 (talk) 04:04, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. @JE98: I trust you realise that charting is not necessarily the sole indication of notability; WP:NALBUMS says charting is an indication a release may be notable, not that it is. I'm not saying this article has news coverage out there, because I haven't looked. But users need to stop acting like charting is the sole measure of whether a music release should have an article or not. Ss112 14:46, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ss112: I do, I also mentioned how the articles are essentially unnecessary stubs whose information could be summed up on Lovehammers' article. Perhaps if they are expanded more I may change my stance. JE98 (talk) 16:24, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree that charting is not the only possible notability criterion - but it doesn't appear to meet any other. The article, as it stands, has only one source - the band's fanclub's archived website. I looked for better sources, but I can't find any significant coverage in independent media.

This company appears to have no in-depth or non-directory coverage to enable it to pass WP:CORP. While they have a few marginally notable products, the company appears to be NN and both WP:NPRODUCT and WP:INHERITORG apply.
Note that this article was created by a WP:SPA that appears to have a WP:COI with Blue Shift and its CEO, Jeff King (author). Toddst1 (talk) 23:22, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It was kept as "an acceptable stub" in 2011 after the previous AfD, it's still a stub and serves no purpose other than to raise the public profile of the company the page author wanted to advertise (among the other things he wanted to advertise, such as himself). – Athaenara ✉ 06:15, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The only independent source of any kind I could find was this, a court ruling about a dispute they were involved with. Their website doesn't have any titles with dates newer than 2011, so they may have gone out of business - if we can't find sources to confirm whether or not they still exist, we don't need an article about them.

Non-notable academic. Google Scholar lists Zarmati's h-index as 5 (a higher number than I calculated myself by going through the publications listed in the article), which falls short of WP:NACADEMIC. I don't see any other evidence in the article or online that she meets WP:NACADEMIC or WP:GNG. Based on this source, she was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 2005 and NSW Premier's History Scholarship in 2012 as research grants, and an educational program she consulted for won a National Trust (NSW) Heritage award for best education program in 2011. It's unclear to me, however, that these awards meet WP:ANYBIO. signed, Rosguilltalk 23:02, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Lead or only author, or co-author, of at least 11 books almost all of which are held in multiple national and state libraries and in major university libraries - I think satisifies AUTHOR.
Recipient of three grants from respected institutions, eg, Churchill - I think this satisifies professional recognised standing, and combined easily satisfies ANYBIO.
Has been a contributor to national education curriculum standards - easily satisfies very high level of recognition in area of professional academic expertise.
Coverage is across wide range of education and professional publications, and also general media, and is sustained. Aoziwe (talk) 04:11, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have added her textbooks to the Select publications, and reviews I have found of some of them. I believe the book reviews, and being selected as a writer of the History learning area in the Australian Curriculum, among other factors, show the recognition she is accorded in her field (whether that is WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NACADEMIC #C7).

Subject does not meet WP:GNG nor WP:BASIC due to lack of significant coverage by independent reliable sources. Also does not meet WP:NACADEMIC - Scopus shows that his scholarly authorship consists of 4 non-memo articles with 18 citations total per Scopus while Web of Science reveals no articles. He also published RFC memos which should not count as "research", of which only RFC 2434 is heavily cited (Google Scholar gives 6 memos with over 50 citations and several memos of fewer citations) even if they did count, and 4 non-memo articles with 18 citations total per Scopus. Also sat on the board of a few standards organizations but that in itself doesn't grant notability. — MarkH21 (talk) 22:47, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Being the subject of the article, I'm not going to take a position on this, but I fundamentally disagree with the poster's dismissal of RFCs as "memos which should not count" when determining notability. RFCs are, in my opinion, much more influential than most formally published sources. Alvestrand (talk) 20:09, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify, I do not mean that RFCs are not influential nor important. But they are not the usual peer-reviewed academic publications. If a particular RFC is highly cited by journal articles, conference articles, or academic books then it can certainly count towards "either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates" per Criterion #1 of WP:NACADEMIC.
In this case, it does not appear that these RFCs satisfy the above property (even the citations of RFC 2434 are almost exclusively from other RFCs). I'm not making the statement that your work is not influential, but that I cannot find evidence of it currently meeting WP:NACADEMIC nor the other notability guidelines. — MarkH21 (talk) 20:36, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would say Harald's contributions in IETF, as specialist, Applications Group leader and writer was vital for the Internet we know today. Important standards such as all the email, directories and internationalisations standards were created in part or in full by him, and are still what carries our daily communication FrodeHernes (talk) 21:07, 7 March 2019 (UTC) — FrodeHernes (talk·contribs) has only contributed to the article(s) under discussion for deletion and this XFD page. — MarkH21 (talk) 03:46, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: With regards to WP:BASIC and WP:GNG, I have found one source from a reliable secondary independent outlet with significant independent coverage of the subject (the same exact article is also published here and a similar article by the same author appears here). I could not find another one but if someone does, that should be sufficient for notability. — MarkH21 (talk) 21:57, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Please do not delete Harald. He taught us stuff.

Strong Keep: Noting that scientists are "referred to as 'academics' for convenience" and accordingly mapping the WP:NACADEMIC criteria to the context of the IETF, I would argue that authoring a dozen RFCs, half of which are BCPs (including the IETF's mission statement), already clearly satisfies the first ("significant impact") test, as well as the seventh test ("substantial impact outside academia") given the widespread adoption of said RFCs in industry. His membership on several selective and significant boards satisfies test three and/or five ("elected member" and "named chair" respectively), and being the chair of the IETF for a non-negligible time satisfies tests six and/or eight in this context ("highest-level post" and "chief editor" respectively). I also note that his IETF predecessor and successor both have articles with similar profiles, yet neither is listed in AfD. -- samjinout 07:35, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I will just note my disagreement with a few points. The "significant impact" and "substantial impact outside academia" may be true but 'need to be demonstrated by external independent sources'. Membership on editorial boards and boards of directors of non-profit companies (granted, they are not typical non-profits) is not equivalent to being an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g. a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society). It is even less close to being equivalent to being a named chair or distinguished professorship (e.g. the Sadleirian Professor of Pure Mathematics or an MIT Institute Professor). The existence of similar articles that have not been AfD'ed yet is also not relevant (it is possible that they should be as well). — MarkH21 (talk) 18:41, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
While I agree that the predecessor and successor do not provide basis for an argument, their presence under a similar interpretation of the guidelines (described in the context of academia "for convenience") is relevant. I'd also argue that the selection process for both contributors and contributions in this context are at least as stringent as for academia, and the impact, to the point made below, typically far greater. Hence opting for a "strong keep" rather than soft balling it. -- samjinout 05:18, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: User:SamJ summed it up well, so I won't bother repeating all of that, but suffice it to say, I think being an IETF chair (and the first non-American, and the who wrote their mission statement, etc.) makes him plenty notable enough for Wikipedia. Beginning (talk) 08:05, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep leaning towards User:SamJ, while we can talk up or down impact, and WP:N is not inherited from the other chairs as we need multiple non-primary / third party sources for GNG which isn't met yet. In this case, I think despite a BLP, primaries are OK as per NACADEMIC which is the spirit here. I will remove my old notability tag. Widefox; talk 22:14, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Concerning RFCs: standards track RFCs are very heavily peer reviewed. While they are not the standard academic journal article, they are a notable intellectual work. From a pragmatic perspective, they have more impact, on average, than normal scientific work. And it's more than slightly ironic that any web site question this. Please consider the work that is at the basis of the site and the whole Internet: RFC 791 (IP), RFC 793 (TCP), RFC 2616 (HTTP), and RFC 2660 (HTTPS) just to name a few. Harald's specific contributions are easily seen here.Tony1athome (talk) 01:56, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep: I am with User:SamJ on many levels. I would also reiterate the sentiment expressed by User:Tony1athome about RFCs being heavily peer reviewed. If nothing else, he does qualify under “The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.“ TonyHansen 03:42, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Just because there is passing lighthearted coverage in the newsmedia about a person's body part does not mean wikipedia needs to have a separate article on it.

Merge to Abhinandan Varthaman but keep the short history, per Anna Frodesiak's argument, and because it would be required to attribute whatever is merged. Topic is notable only within the context of the subject's bio. If it becomes an enduring style (longer than, for example, the typical news cycle, or the cycle length of individuals with facial hair shaving) then perhaps an article, but this is WP:TOOSOON for the standalone treatment.

Keep I am not shocked that a head college football coach from 1919 fails the "google" test. Typically, we find that head college football coaches generate enough press to pass WP:GNG--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:17, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment He apparently became head coach two years after lettering at Iowa and coached at Luther for two years.

Delete. I did my best to beef up the article. Regrettably, my searches turn up zero in terms of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. In fact, nothing even close. When Jewell was the coach for three months in 1919, Luther College was a very small college (a total student body of only 217 students in 1919 per the book cited in the article at p. 203). My searches also fail to turn up significant coverage of the 1919 Luther football team. The two principal sources included in the article currently are not "independent", consisting of a book written by the the Luther College faculty and a paid death notice (which tellingly doesn't even mention his having been either a football player or coach). I am afraid we have truly reached the outermost limits of college football coach notability. Cbl62 (talk) 13:46, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, Vanguard is one of Nigeria's more reliable sources, but the article cited is not independent in the slightest. signed, Rosguilltalk 20:46, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. He is still an up and coming artist in Nigeria and has not released any body of work. A Google search of him only brings up promotional links and press releases about his songs. In addition to the Vanguard source, this source published by The Punch is also not independent of the subject. Nigerian newspapers have a tendency of writing interview-styled articles about artists. Since this practice is the norm in Nigeria, I believe WP:MUSICBIO is the more suitable guideline to use.

This appears to fail WP:NALBUM. It hasn't been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, independent, major reviews. It hasn't charted nationally. It hasn't been certified gold. It hasn't won a notable award. It doesn't meet the "medium that is notable" clause. It doesn't appear to have been on rotation on a major radio station. And a "let+the+madness+begin"+"cirkus" source search indicates that it hasn't been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment. SITH(talk) 18:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to CirKus. Not enough found to justify a separate article, but a band's studio albums are always going to be worthwhile redirects to the band's article. --Michig (talk) 18:58, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Michig: the article for CirKus is not about the same band – that might affect your vote above. As such, this could be a speedy delete per A9. Richard3120 (talk) 20:12, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. Delete then, unless someone manages to create an article on the band before the AfD closes. --Michig (talk) 21:53, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: the band are now called Critical Cirkus, if anyone is searching for sources, but that doesn't seem to bring up anything further regarding notability. Richard3120 (talk) 20:22, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I agree. This fails WP:NALBUM as well as the GNG. It has no reliable sources. Also, why is the article stating that "CirKus" is the artist when there is no mention of the album on that page? I only see three albums ("Laylow", "Laylower", and "Medicine") listed on that article. I also don't understand why this could be a redirect when the artist's article fails notability too, relying on one source. Horizonlove (talk) 04:08, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Horizonlove: I've already explained above... the group Cirkus that has a Wikipedia article, and the group Cirkus that made this album, are two different groups. Richard3120 (talk) 13:37, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Terrible page. Passes WP:AUTHOR. Editors need to run searches that bring up older articles, like the 2008 New York Times book review I just added to the page. Added a few more reviews. There is stuff out there from which an article can be built: Boston Herald: Bag man: Brockton’s Tonello reveals how to score the prized Birkins ; a Episode 672: Bagging a Birkin, Planet Money; Washington Washington: NPR.

WP:HEYMANN I sourced it and cleaned up PROMO. It's no longer terrible. An an WP:AUTHOR, he's a one-hit wonder, but his book got a lot of attention. He still gets quoted as an expert on Birkin bags. About which, well, it's the kind of niche product about which an intelligent, sane person might not even want to know.

Small town (current population=1,500) Mayor who fails WP:NPOL and doesn't have the sources, both currently and after conducting a search for more coverage, to establish WP:GNG.

Non-notable DJ, fails WP:GNG & WP:DJ. There is a lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. -- Flooded w/them 100s 14:23, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I think you might be showing your age here, Flooded with them hundreds, by describing the subject as "not notable"... under the name of Kid Paul, he was a very well-known trance DJ during the 1990s, playing around the world. Under the alias of Energy 52, he was also responsible for the record "Café del Mar", one of the best-known dance records of all-time, which has charted in at least six different countries and was named best tune ever by the staff of Mixmag back in 2001. Again, this might be a case of a DJ preceding the internet age and reliable sources most likely occurring in print versions of dance magazines in the 1990s and early 2000s. At the very least, I think this should be redirected to Energy 52, pending searches of back issues of Mixmag and the like. Richard3120 (talk) 14:50, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. I cannot find any significant coverage of Kid Paul that is not associated with Energy 52, or with Paul van Dyk. See here and here. Gilded Snail (talk) 19:21, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This page (such as it is) was moved from Kid Paul a while ago, with the observation he produced under several aliases, so moving to real name. As we already have a (presumably notable) article on him as Energy 52 it'd make more sense to keep this title and merge stuff from there to this, rather than the other way around. He also has an article on the German WP (also, presumably, notable), which could be cribbed to here to flesh this title out. And (with regard to WP:DJ) has a discography as long as your arm in the external links. Swanny18 (talk) 01:47, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure it does make sense to merge the Energy 52 page into this one, because he is far better known under that alias than under his real name. The German Wikipedia article only has two references, one for his year of birth, and the other an interview in which he says he is giving up DJing... not a lot there that can be used to flesh out the English article. And making lots of records isn't really a sign of notability, just productivity. Richard3120 (talk) 02:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Icewhiz (talk) 13:12, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP, as The Grid said. EggRoll79 said that the article is mostly promotional. I don't think this is a deletion reason. As for the topic itself, I find it to be very notable with there being more than 10 reliable refs already. It definitely needs cleanup, but AfD isn't cleanup. Lafayette Baguettetalk 14:34, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I disagree that there are 10 reliable references. Several of the currently cited references appear to be Forbes.com contributor pieces, which are considered unreliable (see WP:RSP). Other pieces are published by Grammarly inc., or appear on news release sites. I assume the pieces in The Hindu and Korea Times are more reliable, but each includes only a passing mention in articles about online writing aids generally.

Comment : The suggestions to Keep the list are still being justified on variants of WP:OTHER, i.e. that other such stuff exists in Wikipedia. And now the latest Keep suggestion uses those other ones as justification! What we've got here is failure in reasoning. -The Gnome (talk) 12:50, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep:WP:LISTN states that "one accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". A search for "most followed instagram accounts" reveals such discussion from Business Insider, TechCrunch and The Independent. The article may have problems, but it does seem notable. Gaelan💬✏️ 06:01, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep regrettably per WP:LISTN. The media like such trivia, and such lists are commonly reported, as given above by others and also in search (e.g. [10][11][12]). WP:NOTSTATS do say what list might be acceptable, and linked to WP:LISTN - since it qualifies under LISTN, NOTSTATS no longer applies and is therefore not a relevant issue here.

Keep Sources WP:NEXIST, though finding reliable sources online may not be easy. The Polish Wikipedia article on highway strips [13] states that there are 21 highway strips in Poland, and it has a reference for one, which could certainly be added to this list [14]. The English Wikipedia article Highway strip has a list of highway strips in Switzerland (8), and names the 3 highway strips in Cyprus in the para on that country. For Sweden, there are links to separate articles Bas 60 and Bas 90, which contain lists of highway strips. So as far as WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, highway strips are covered in various ways in Wikipedia. The main question with this list for Poland seems to me to be sourcing. There are other sources online, eg [15] which seems to be on a website for pilots, and may not be considered reliable, I don't know. This is another source about the highway strips in general, with some specific ones mentioned [16] - again, I find it hard to know what is reliable of the various Polish media I find. But I am sure that reliable sources would exist, even if they are not online. IF this list is not kept as a separate article, I recommend merging it into Highway_strip#Poland. (I do wonder whether anyone has done WP:BEFORE. AfD is not about the state of sourcing in the article, but about what sources exist, so being unreferenced is not a reason to delete!)

Hello. I cannot find much online about this businessman except to confirm that he is/was indeed the founder and chairman of First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation.

Cannot find reliable sources discussing this church. (Note while searching for "universal catholic church" gets lots of hits, they are all using that term to mean the mainstream Roman Catholic Church, or else in some more abstract sense of the entirety of Christianity as a whole, rather than as a reference to this particular denomination.) SJK (talk) 07:17, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - the article says the Universal Catholic Church differs theologically from the Roman Catholic church, so it might be worthy of its own article. Vorbee (talk) 08:57, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Vorbee: I could start a church in my garage that differs theologically from the Roman Catholic Church (or any other church for that matter), that doesn't make the church in my garage notable. Maybe this church is just one guy in his garage, maybe it has many thousands of members–in the absence of reliable sources, how can we confidently tell? (Also, the article doesn't clearly explain how they theologically differ from the Roman Catholic Church, nor are there any WP:RS provided for those differences.) SJK (talk) 09:10, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't see any independent sources provided here. The books cited appear to pertain to this denomination's predecessors, not this denomination itself, because some of them were written by people who died before this denomination was founded. Looking at the denomination's website, it appears that they only have four places of worship which are sufficiently public for them to post their street addresses, and the list has not been updated in 5 years. If independent sources can be found which establish this denomination as notable, I may reconsider my recommendation. --Metropolitan90(talk) 05:46, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete founding a new church is like founding a new theatre company or a new political party. Sources are needed to prove notability. According to this page, this church was founded shortly before this page was created: " In April 2007, Bishop Dean Bekken severed his parish and those clergy under him from the LCCI and formed the Universal Catholic Church. " Note that Bishop Dean Bekken is not bluelinked. And that the page has no sources at all. I thought of suggesting userfy, but the editor who created the page in 2008 hasn't logged in since 2011. I've run searches on "Universal Catholic Church" + "Dean Bekken"; "Universal Catholic Church" 2007; and on "Dean Bekken" - which brought up a local news article: (They're angry, and won't take any more | Neighbors organize to stamp out crime: [1,2 Edition] Wilkens, John. The San Diego Union; San Diego, Calif. [San Diego, Calif]06 Mar 1988: B-3....

Comment: I don't quite understand this nomination, which is made by the article creator. If you're frustrated with the DYK review, you could simply withdraw the DYK nomination and move on. Why do you want to delete the entire article? It seems to be quite well referenced. -Zanhe (talk) 05:47, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Zanhe, as per DYK reasons given by other editors such as NPOV. (I am stating the reasons given by the DYK opposers as AFD reasons, and not the DYK nomination itself) Also I shouldn't have created this article since I think I have essentially twisted "used" references in a way that abides by Wikipedia policies, but not in a way that does justice to the topic at large. It is my opinion that I do not see these problems being sorted out for this particular article. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 06:47, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If the result of this AFD is keep then of course it can stay. But if it is delete it should go. If the result is keep, I will stay away from the article for at least a month since I have already been tagged for overreacting. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 06:55, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. Not a valid nomination - failing DYK is not a valid deletion rationale. Author requested deletion also seems to be out of the question since there are other contributors. The topic it self, as evident in the sources in the article, or even a cursory before - WaPo 2017, Guardian 2016, NYT 2016 is clearly notable. The article possibly could use NPOVing and the prose could also possibly be improved - but overall seems to be a decent article (I do not swim in the subject matter here - so I might be missing some big NPOV issue - however NPOV is not a deletion rationale unless this is a POVFORK - yet no forked article has been identified).

WP:TOOSOON article about an unreleased film. As always, Wikipedia does not keep an article about every film that can be minimally sourced as having entered the production pipeline -- with extremely rare exceptions for hypernotable films on the order of the Star Wars franchise, most films are not notable until they have been released, and thereby received reviews from reputable film critics, and a small bit of initial casting announcement coverage is not enough to make it a special case yet. Just because the director has a WP:BLP does not automatically mean we need to rush-job a premature article the moment he announces that he's working on something new — if you don't even know a title or anything about the plot yet, let alone an actual release date, then you need to wait until you do know those things before a standalone article becomes warranted.

Keep The film is well-referenced from reliable sources (such as The Hollywood Reporter) and passes NFilm as well with principal photography commenced (and also finished) and a highly notable cast.

Cindlevet (talk) 20:20, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the film passes notability guidelines. Let's be honest the only reason this is being discussed is that it doesn't have a proper title, but that is not a reason to delete the article. As it passes NFF, it should remain - we'll get a title soon enough, and the page can be moved accordingly. The film features a notable cast now, and principal photography has started, so I don't see any advantage of deleting the page, and I don't see much point in draftifying it either.

The result was keep. There is consensus that the subject meets the GNG, and with Bakazaka's find may well meet WP:NALBUM as well. Either is sufficient for this to be kept. XymmaxSo let it be writtenSo let it be done 18:20, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep kept at AFD last November where additional reliable sources were identified by @Doomsdayer520: such as a review in Billboard shown here and it was the topic of a Billboard feature article shown here, together with the allmusic review so it passes WP:GNG and it is as much the nominator's responsibility as anyone else's to use those reliable sources to improve the article, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 18:37, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Atlantic306: Is the Billboard source on this page right now? If not, then it would not pass WP:GNG. And just because it has a brief mention in Billboard does not make it notable. As the article currently stands, it still fails WP:NALBUMS. As stated before, this page is little more than track listing. It is also a nominator's and Wikipedia user's responsibility to remove what fails Wikipedia standards. Horizonlove (talk) 23:37, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, GNG includes all available sources whether they are in the article or not, it has significant coverage in Billboard and Allmusic and should not be removed instead of the process of improving it Atlantic306 (talk) 23:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Atlantic306: First off, General notability guidelines refers to WP:NALBUM in this case because this article is about a music album. Second, under the WP:GNG, "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." In this case, it does not. And I just read the "review" on the Billboard source. It was more about the singer (Sy Smith) than her album. The only details it provides about the album, in one sentence, are a few songs from the album and its recording label. It doesn't review the album in a positive or negative rating. Even if did, Billboard and Allmusic are definitely not enough to keep this article's page alive. If the album had appeared on any country's national music chart, been certified gold or higher in at least one country, had a reported album sales figure, won or been nominated for a major music award, etc., then it would meet notability. Frankly, this could easily be merged with the Sy Smith article and we could mention that her album received a review from AllMusic and Billboard. Horizonlove (talk) 00:01, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:GNG is independent of the Albums SNG which is a guide as to whether the subject might be notable so it does not have to meet the conditions you listed, it just needs multiple significant coverage in reliable sources which it has in at least Allmusic and Billboard as the second Billboard article is significant coverage.

Procedural Keep - (Sorry for the delay; I've been offline for about the past week.) Admins should review the first AfD for this album, which will look horrifyingly familiar. That was about 4.5 months ago by the same nominator, HorizonLove. The vote then was to keep, based on sources found by myself and others. HorizonLove has renominated with the exact same reasoning and the exact same denials of evidence presented by the same people who voted last time. This indicates a fairly baffling refusal to accept a community decision. This AfD should be closed for procedural reasons, as a completely unnecessary rehash of things already determined before. My advice for the nominator is to move on. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:44, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My advice is to read WP:Vote and then WP:ILIKEIT. In the first deletion nomination, that was very much the case because no one could state how the article passes WP:NAlbums, just like they can't now. Horizonlove (talk) 01:58, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing no need to repeat the same things I have already said dozens of times, unlike some people around here, my final comment is that the insinuation of "I Like It" votes is pathetically easy to debunk. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 12:16, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article basically covers the same ground as Satan. The rational for giving it its own article is based entirely on one source Jeffrey Burton Russell's book The Devil: Perceptions of Evil from Antiquity to Primitive Christianity (1987), which state that a devil is any "personification of evil as it is conceived in many and various cultures and religious traditions." This does not appear to be universally accepted as can be seen in pages 3–4 on the introduction to Satan: A Biography. In addition, the inclusion of other beings that are not Satan as "devils" are either based on Russell or are WP:OR. For example, for Mara, the source does not call him a "devil" or "devil-like" but merely compares a story involving him and the Buddha with the story of Jesus and Satan. The article should either be deleted or redirect to Satan. LittleJerry (talk) 04:25, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I am really leaning towards a very strong keep at the moment, but I must say the nom's argument is strongly reminiscent of an opinion of redirecting to Satan. Thoughts, LittleJerry? Must say though, quite a devillish nomination... J947(c), at 04:48, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And I'm so devillish as to not read the last sentence. :) J947(c), at 04:50, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the argument that the inclusion of other beings that are not Satan as "devils" are either based on Russell or are WP:OR is not very persuasive. I am currently reviewing the article Fallen angel for GA, and my impression is that religious terms which are a mixture of orthodox doctrine and folklore like devil and Satan hardly ever overlap exactly. This is also my impression from studying Buddhist doctrine and history.--Farang Rak Tham(Talk) 08:59, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
LittleJerry, do you have any Google Scholar or News search results to back up your claims about devil being nearly identical with Satan or demon? Tertiary sources like encyclopedias could work as well.--Farang Rak Tham(Talk) 21:33, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There's page four of Henry Ansgar Kelly's "Satan a Biography" which can be previewed. Also I think the burden of proof is on the people claiming that devil is distinct from Satan or demon. Only Russell seems to support this and this is disputed by Kelly. LittleJerry (talk) 22:49, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That is insufficient proof, LittleJerry, you will need more meta-results. Further, the burden of giving a solid argument is on you, since you are proposing the deletion.--Farang Rak Tham(Talk) 13:56, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Farang Rak Tham The article itself does not give sufficient evidence that Devil is an independent concept. LittleJerry (talk) 23:27, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
LittleJerry, the contents of the article is not an important argument in a discussion like this. Generally speaking, if independent notability can be established, the article must be kept, even if its current contents are crap.--Farang Rak Tham(Talk) 13:34, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. While the article is not of a FA quality, it is clearly independently notable. Can't even suggest merger to Satan, as Satan is devil in Abrahamic religions. Devil is a bigger concept than Satan. It's like suggesting to delete article on God because we have God in Christianity. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:01, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We actually have a Devil in Christianity article in addition to Satan, which discusses all Abrahamic religions. There is no evidence that "Devil" is used for other "evil" beings in world religions and mythology. Only Russell seems to state that. One could argue that devil is also interchangeable with demon. In that case this article could redirect to Devil (disambiguation). LittleJerry (talk) 16:29, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think we could discuss more whether devil could be merged with demon. This has some merit. But I'd suggest doing this first through a merge discussion on relevant article's page(s), not here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:53, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Zero compliance with WP:Before. Many sources out there. This is as content and sourcing question, and fails to even plausibly state a valid reason for Deletion, which is a last resort. We should not inflict the Wikipedia equivalent of capital punishment based upon a theological or metaphysical dispute. That this may have some overlap with Satan is no reason to delete.

@User:7&6=thirteen: The next time I see you make a comment like the above, I will request that you be blocked. The OP makes an interesting and fairly compelling case that this article is a WP:CONTENTFORK, and notability has nothing to do with it, so writing Zero compliance with WP:Before. Many sources out there. is very clearly inappropriate, and this isn't the only time you've done it.[18][19][20]Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 13:20, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article list concepts of the devil outside of Satan. DreamFocus 23:29, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as Devil and Satan are completely different. While Satan is described as "a devil" or "the devil" in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, the concept of Devil exists outside of Abrahamic faiths. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 17:15, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Unholy Moly! Now, children, there was a time in the very early days of Wikipedia when Devil did redirect to Satan. The early history of Wikipedia can be difficult to trace, but it appears that Devil was probably redirected to Satan on 28 September 2001.[21]. Satan, which originally sat on a list of the "most requested articles" for the first few months of wikipedia's existence, was created on July 17, 2001 by an IP editor. But a separate Devil article was created by User:Netesq on January 24, 2003 and thus has now existed independently of Satan for over *16 years* [22]. Wikipedia only had about 15,000 articles in late September 2001, not the 5.8 million it has today, and only hit 100,000 articles when we finally got around to creating a separate Devil article. And we've never looked back. I will say, however, that LittleJerry's nomination does reminds one of very early Wikipedia for being quite WP:BOLD! Nevertheless, lest we also move Devil Dog to Satan Dog, I must urge one and all to reject this nomination and keep Devil.--Milowent • hasspoken 22:33, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Milowent, you haven't explained why they should be separate. Only, that they have been for so long. LittleJerry (talk) 06:55, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
LittleJerry, I added something I thought of value to the discussion and not already present. Perhaps if anyone credibly !votes delete I shall return to focus my intellectual powers on the question of whether "devil" is a separately notable topic.--Milowent • hasspoken 13:47, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Is it not common knowledge that Satan and Devil are two seperate concepts? Makes me wonder what kids are learning in school these days. Unoc (talk) 12:55, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article is crap, and needs to be either thoroughly rewritten or redirected to Satan (since that's the topic apparently almost all of this article's sourced content discusses), but there's obviously no need to remove the page history from public view. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 13:20, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Probable keep -- The concepts of "devil" and "Satan" are not identical, but the devil article contains material on Satan, which ought to be merged to Satan. The two are similar in the Christian tradition, but not necessarily in Islam or other religions. It is not a good article and relies too much on Russell and Gnostic Bible, but an article with as many citations as this is not WP:OR. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:17, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Peterkingiron please read my opening statement. I explained how this is OR. The sources they use do not support (outside of Russell) a entity being a "devil". LittleJerry (talk) 19:58, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and marge Satan to Devil (and not the other way round) or keep as a stand-alone. Yes, this article has issues, and although I'm not a linguist, I do know that most people use the term Devil/Satan interchangeably (sometimes with the article the e.g. the Devil). However, the noun Satan is not English, whilst Devil is (or at least closer to the English language). Since this is English Wikipedia, the English name should be used as per our naming policy. If there is no desire to marge Satan to Devil, then both articles should be kept - independent of each other. This article needs serious editing compared to the Satan article. However, our deletion process is never used to fix editing issues.Tamsier (talk) 09:36, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge it's exactly the same subject. In the Greek Old Testament Job's Satan and Zechariah 3's Satan are "ho diabolos" anyway. The New Testament ho diabolos and Satanas - about 35 uses each - don't particularly distinguish the 2 terms. What would be a whole lot more useful would be Satan in JudaismSatan in Christianity as separate articles with decent references and shrink down literal fallen angel believer J. B. Russell's books to just one of a wider set of sources. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:32, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actor and musician who falls under too soon.
Actually based off the years active-not even sure if this is a real person....(or maybe a autobio) Wgolf (talk) 04:03, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like the creator moved it to draft right after this. I actually didn't realize it was created just 10 minutes earlier as well (I was looking at reverse order by date and I must of accidentally hit the go by date button so the most recent popped up)
Well still it is too soon. Wgolf (talk) 04:13, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added this one based on a A11 speedy request by the nominator. Regards SoWhy 15:23, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Topic appears to be WP:OR by the author. None of the sources mention this or related terms (nonbinary sexuality or nonpolar sexuality). The article states the term was coined by Emma Frye, and the article's creator's name suggest some sort of COI with this person. This user has created a handful of articles all related to Emma Frye. EvergreenFir(talk) 03:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep searches through Google News and Google Scholar show lots of usage of the term. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:08, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Eastmain: I'm only seeing a few academic sources using the term ([23], [24]) and some blogs like tumblr. But I see no widespread or notable use of the term. If I'm missing sources, can you please provide a few? EvergreenFir(talk) 07:08, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Use in the academic community is enough to establish notability. The term does not have to be part of popular culture. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 23:21, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Whether people want to admit it or not, this is a somewhat commonly discussed concept these days. Obviously the article needs work, or at the very least merging. Trillfendi (talk) 06:48, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The only part that's original content is the unsourced opening paragraph. (The remainder was copied from Bisexuality.) The content in the paragraph doesn't match the title of the article - the body is talking about "nonpolar" and the title is "nonbinary". We already have article Genderqueer that covers the topic of non-binary and Google-searching the term "non-polar sexuality" pulls up no hits at all. — Diannaa🍁 (talk) 12:47, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
True, but genderqueer is about gender indentity, this article refers to sexuality. Two different things. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 04:44, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: a duplicate article exists at Nonpolar sexuality. — Diannaa🍁 (talk) 12:55, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Which the nominator had tagged for speedy deletion. I declined it since both should be discussed here. I'll add it to this AFD. Regards SoWhy 15:21, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Whatever becomes of the Afd for Nonbinary Sexuality, the term Nonpolar sexuality should be neither an article, nor a redirect. The term is invisible on the web, as is its purported author, Emma Frye.
Delete Possible OR without RSes that this is an acknowledged term and independent entity. Unclear why this needs to be a separate article rather than the term being introduced in bisexuality or pansexuality. Reywas92Talk 00:07, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with possible recreation as a redirect to Genderqueer: The scope is unclear, since the title states "Nonbinary" yet the lead begins with "Nonpolar". Given that the article Genderqueer has been treated as essentially synonymous with non-binary, a redirect to Genderqueer seems a plausible search term. I don't think we need two articles on such difficult to separate concepts: the elder article should be expanded and developed with consensus until size or clearly distinct concept warrants splitting into a new article. As this article is currently structured, it overlaps too many existing concepts to stand alone, and has a strong feeling of original synthesis. --Animalparty! (talk) 06:20, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actor who falls under too soon. He has so far had just one lead role in a film, with the other roles being uncredited and a guest appearance. Wgolf (talk) 03:01, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to List of Battle Angel Alita: Last Order characters. No one challenged the basic premise that the character did not warrant a separate article, and consensus formed around redirecting. I have left the history intact to facilitate a merge if that is deemed appropriate; I have protected the redirect to prevent recreation. XymmaxSo let it be writtenSo let it be done 17:59, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This character ought to be part of the 'List of Battle Angel Alita: Last Order characters' article; no others have an article, emphasizing the lack of necessity for this one; even the main character doesn't have her own article. No grounds are evident from this article on this particular character for its existence; additionally much lacks sourcing and is bordering on original research (i.e. 'Personality' section) RBWhitney12 (talk) 01:11, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to List of Battle Angel Alita: Last Order characters. I disagree with Susmuffin's argument as side characters can have notability (and sometimes have more notability than a work's main character), but there does not appear to be enough notability in this case for a standalone article.
