This isotope appears to fail WP:GNG because there do not appear to be any sources with a specific focus on this isotope; at best, there are passing mentions or generic references to many isotopes, and no non-trivial applications or properties are given. Furthermore, most of the content of this article is about the element zinc rather than the isotope zinc-68 (in which case it is duplication). Expansion from new sources seems difficult if not impossible, and invoking WP:IRI would leave no non-trivial content in this article. Hence, I propose a redirect to Isotopes of zinc in the same format as redirects for other non-notable isotopes. ComplexRational (talk) 18:39, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus defaulting to keep and w/o prejudice to a speedy renomination. This AfD is a disaster on wheels and should be linked as an example at WP:TLDR. That said, I have read it through, twice in detail and skimmed a third time. Discounting at least one keep as very possibly a sock and the argument being outside PAG it is clear that there is nothing close to a consensus to keep. While the discussion appeared to be trending towards deletion I am not satisfied that a sufficient consensus to that end has been established. I very rarely relist discussions more than twice and this one has already become far too unwieldy. If someone chooses to renominate this I would encourage a notice be posted at the top of the AfD reminding editors to keep their comments on topic, cite WP:PAG where possible, do not keep repeating points already made, and for the love of G--, BE BRIEF.

Fairly obscure UK video game magazine from 1989 to 1993. Fails WP:GNG. Probably should not be a subject on Wikipedia, but it could be useful for a source. Harizotoh9 (talk) 07:24, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It currently has zero RS. One is just the ISSN page listing, and the other is a fan site. Harizotoh9 (talk) 19:10, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well I meant if it can find sources. On another note-it's not even on the List of video game magazines (To be fair it only lists ones with articles though), I might just change this to delete upon looking further. Wgolf (talk) 22:38, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I can only find fansites and forums. And considering it's obscurity and short run, that's likely all you'll find. Magazines themselves often don't get talked about. That's why most of these old mags should be seen as sources rather than subjects for Wikipedia. Harizotoh9 (talk) 22:48, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually changing my vote to delete, unless if someone can find a place it can be redirected.Wgolf (talk) 00:31, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I am the author of the Electric Brain page, I own a few issues myself and thought it was worthy of an article. So I took some time to do some research to get some information. I'll happily do more hunting and editing if required. As well as my own collection of issues for reference, I tracked down the publisher (who now runs an advertising agency), tracked down owners of other issues to confirm certain details, and more besides. I've taken this opportunity to expand the article with more references and links to other wiki articles and have added it to the List of video game magazines, both of which address some of your concerns @Harizotoh9 and @Wgolf. I vote keep, obviously, with my reasoning being that the magazine covered very popular systems, has good editorial/reviews/artwork/discussion, and had a run of 35 issues which is more than many other magazines featured in the List of video game magazines (over double in some cases). Examples: Amiga Force (16 issues), Amtix (18 issues), Atari Age (11 issues) and those are just from the letter A. Case in point, I'd never heard of Amtix but I'm happy to have read about it now and learnt some new things. Thanks for your consideration! Mattsephton (talk) 16:26, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing personal, just noticing it doesn't have coverage in third party sources. I have noticed myself that many gaming mags are likely not notable and probably should either be deleted or redirected to their publisher pages. I'll have to go through them and I'm putting that off right now. I just decided to nominate this one and GameGo! seemed to be the most blatant, as they were super obscure. Harizotoh9 (talk) 23:29, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Reasons for deletion I have addressed: short run (not true in comparison to some others), obscure (not if you talk to somebody who was around in the UK at the time, see videos reference), no believable source (there are scans available, publisher still exists, advertisers still exist), lack of sources/references (I have added more, plus wiki cross-references), not in list of video game magazines (it now is). What are your current thoughts? (GameGO! as one issue and a single PDF should go, I concur) Mattsephton (talk) 14:48, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I vote keep, on the basis that it had a run of at least 35 issues that I know of, and I own all the issues. The magazine was produced at a time when there was poor coverage of console systems and games within the mainstream magazines and so there is a history of games reviews that don't exist in printed form elsewhere. The magazine is of high interest to collectors, in the same way that a rare video game would be sought after. I would be happy to contribute value that helps this magazine earn it's placeUchet67 (talk) 19:23, 26 April 2019 (UTC) — Uchet67 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

It doesn't matter if it' interest to collectors or not, what matters is if it passes WP:GNG by having third party coverage. Which it lacks. It's of interest to niche audiences. Thus it should not be on WP. If you want to create a fan wiki for lost magazines or gamer mags, then that content can go there. But not here. Harizotoh9 (talk) 13:57, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The more popular video game systems have many different avenues of preservation. Lesser known systems such as the humble PC-Engine need as much information available as possible, especially if not known about/available in many countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PVBuk (talkcontribs) 20:59, 26 April 2019 (UTC) — PVBuk (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Again, literally all that matters is sources. Does it have any? It doesn't. If it doesn't, then it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Harizotoh9 (talk) 13:57, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What "new info"? There have been zero WP:RS posted showing notability of this magazine. That is ALL that matters. Harizotoh9 (talk) 13:44, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusion: Not a single RS has been found to demonstrate the notability of this magazine. Harizotoh9 (talk) 21:43, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've just educated myself and read the page about WP:RS, and now that I am aware of what they are I disagree with your appraisal. Also, Notability is a different ask than that of Reliable Sources so I am keen to not confuse those two. Definition of source, the piece of work itself (the magazine) which we have scans and physical copies of. The creator of the work (we know about the staff, some still around and contactable), the publisher (they are still around, I am in contact with them). Definition of published media sources must be produced by a reliable third party and be properly cited. Additionally, an archived copy of the media must exist (both of these are true for Electric Brain). I just added many more sources from scans of old printed magazines, where it was mentioned (as PC Engine Fanatics) in The Games Machine, in New Computer Express and others (as Console Ma'zine or Console Magazine), and mentioned (as Electric Brain) in N-Force all reliable, verifiable, published sources of years gone by. Age matters I feel this is the main problem we have, this magazine was 25 years ago, pre-internet - written letters - fanzines - pen pals - shopping with your gran on a Saturday, so finding information about it is slower and more difficult than I would like. I would also like to ask for understanding that the article is being edited frequently, as more information comes to light. It is not a dead article that has been sat unedited and unloved on Wikipedia. About your appraisal of 8 sources (there are now more than double that)
6 - is an trusted archive of staff lists of magazines.
8 - is the current presence of Digitiser, the advertiser on the back of EB issues 33 through 35, you can read at the reference link a story of how they had to pay "real money" to advertise in Electric Brain.
Right now, there are a bunch of votes to keep, and your delete vote. I'll continue to edit and add to the article as I have been. Hopefully the newly uncovered printed sources are enough for you to reverse your delete vote? Mattsephton (talk) 22:08, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You've added more citations, but it's the same pattern: not a single RS among them. More forum posts, fan blogs, and trivial references. Also, these debate discussions are not votes, but attempts to find a consensus through reference to Wikipedia policy. Unless RS can be found, this magazine fails WP:GNG. Harizotoh9 (talk) 00:23, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree that there are no RS. That's all I'll say on the mater, good day to you. Would like to request WP:SK Mattsephton (talk) 10:15, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You seem very confused about WP:GNG and WP:RS. Super Play is a RS, and it has one profile on GAP, the successor magazine. And I believe it did a profile on Electric Brain as well. However, these two short profiles are not enough to establish notability. The rest of the references are trivial or not reliable. Harizotoh9 (talk) 15:56, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I feel you're missing the point. The point about Super Play 23 is that, whilst mentioning GAP, they give a brief history of Electric Brain and its perceived importance and weight in the UK video game industry/scene at the time. Please be open to new information that is added to the article, as it is already quite different to what it was when you added the AFD. Recently I added reference to The British Library's holdings of Electric Brain. Mattsephton (talk) 10:49, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 18:47, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please note: WP:Notability (being "Worthy of note) is determined by sources. Reasoning of "climate for historic preservation", it had "a run of at least 35 issues", "The magazine is of high interest to collectors", and my personal favorite "keep as there are sources" (any might just do) are secondary to availability of reliable independent sourcing. The main issue is that "IF" the article survives this AFD it may still be in danger of being nominated again unless it can be properly sourced.
Second note: A negative is that one editor has a total of one contribution and another has a total of four. This will only bring suspicion as both also have similar styles of !voting and very likely be discounted. The result is actually one !vote stating there are sufficient sources and three from established editors (one including a review of sources) stating notability is lacking. If this goes against a keep maybe it can be requested to userfy or redirect somewhere? Otr500 (talk) 22:34, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In terms of third party reliable sources, they have a short overview of GAP and Electric Brain magazines in Super Play magazine that's only three short paragraphs. That's a start, but a single tiny article is nowhere near enough to establish notability. They need significant coverage. The other references to game mags are simply pointing to short listings that mention that the magazine is available for purchase. These aren't articles, rather these are just listings and short ads. That's a MASSIVE stretch. Considering this was a tiny fanzine which only part way through the run got a publisher and transitioned into a more standard game magazine, this should not be shocking. Fanzines by their nature are pretty under-ground. Harizotoh9 (talk) 19:43, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks all, very useful discussion. John Fardell is listed in the staff credits of all currently available scanned issues, linked from the page. But I'll add that as a citation so that interested parties can easily view the reference. Mattsephton (talk) 21:39, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Otr500: would appreciate your thoughts on whether you think this article is closer to WP:HEY after new sources, refinements over the past couple of weeks and reference to WP:DEFUNCTNEWS? Thanks Mattsephton (talk) 12:27, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Can I also politely ask why, say, Super Play is not AfD despite having only 3 references? Mattsephton (talk) 19:28, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Short version is: maybe it should?
Long version: I've been actually thinking that a large chunk of gaming mags aren't notable, and should either be deleted or redirected to their publisher page. If you were to mass throw them all into AFD, I think maybe no more than 50% would survive. Thing is though, some of them are notable, and it's difficult at first glance to see which are notable and which aren't since they all have low amount of sources. It would take some time to research and to sort through them, and that's a bit of a pain and I have enough on my plate. Instead, I sent what I felt was the most obvious low hanging fruit, this and GameGO! to AFD, since I felt it was pretty uncontroversial. Harizotoh9 (talk) 19:35, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Super Play is hanging on by a thread because despite the lousy sourcing in the article itself, the magazine got a bit of viable third-party publicity upon their brief 2017 revival, and Kotaku used a graphic from one issue for a 2012 feature about the high prices of SNES games. That's pretty much it, but if you want to compare the two, it's miles ahead of Electric Brain in terms of third-party coverage. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 00:07, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Even If it wasn’t ahead that would be a case for deleting Super Play and not a case for keeping this article.--64.229.166.98 (talk) 05:53, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Beemer69: for your answer. @Harizotoh9: your reply was not a useful answer to my question as it was not specific to Super Play. @64.229.166.98: I'm aware of that, I never suggested such, I just wanted a rock solid description of why Super Play is OK. So I've just added a citation to a Nintendo Life feature on the Electric Brain's 1992-published interview with Shigeru Miyamoto. Mattsephton (talk) 13:52, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The NL article brings it to two single articles, so that's still not enough. A tiny Super Play article, and a NL article mostly focusing on Shiggy. Also, reading the comments in the NL page, it says the interview was taken from Famitsu, and that Electric Brain merely translated it without giving credit. Which explains why some minor fanzine has an interview with someone like him. Harizotoh9 (talk) 04:46, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Electric Brain "merely" translated it? Really? Can I reiterate that this was 1992, 20 years before the next time this interview was to be seen in English, and 24 years before the interview was seen in full in English. And this is an interview that has - this very month - been reprinted by Famitsu in Japan as one of the most important interviews of the last 30 years (their words). To trivialise this fact shows a fair amount of disrespect, so I'd like to ask again if you could be a bit more open minded. Thank you. Also, I've mentioned many times that the raison d'être of Electric Brain and its contemporaries like Super Play was to bring coverage of the nascent Japanese video game industry to the distant shores of the United Kingdom in a time where such information was not easily available. As to the credit, I don't know. All I can say with certainty is that Electric Brain give credit in all their other interviews (such as with the Yuzo Koshiro Interview featured in issue 24, watch this space). So it may have been a slip up, or maybe not. But I'm prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt, given that this all happened more than a lifetime ago for some people. Finally, your repeated, unsubstantiated statements such as "some minor fanzine" make it sound like you have a vendetta against this publication for some reason. Mattsephton (talk) 12:28, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No one has a "vendetta" against this magazine. Rather, you're betting all your horses and then some on the longevity of a single interview to prove the article's notablility, which is still lacking due to no reliable sources, including those newly added. I did some trimming because what does posting the same interview three times in a single paragraph prove? Furthermore, one of the recently added links to the interview mentioned you by name. That doesn't help the cause. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 18:31, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Correction, both Nintendo Life and Super Play are WP:RS for video games. The issue is that these are brief and tiny articles and don't amount to substantial coverage. One tiny Super Play article, and one NL article that spends one sentence on the fanzine are not significant coverage. Harizotoh9 (talk) 19:48, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Beemer69: I don't see any reason to make this discussion personal - this is about the Electric Brain article, not me, or any others discussing the AfD. Thanks again for your editing, it was appreciated. The interview was my recent focus and as new information and sources come to light in the near future I'll continue to add to the article with more sources. Mattsephton (talk) 11:55, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Check the page and sources. The author is WP:REFBOMBing the page, adding refs for superficial and trivial mentions. A lot of the page is fluff and padding. In terms of sources that actually mention Electric Brain, there's just Super Play and Nintendo Life. That's way too little and brief. There's also no exception to notability for old print sources. There is nothing stopping gaming magazines from talking about this fanzine, and indeed Super Play did just that. Why didn't others? Remember, this was an underground fanzine with low readership and was made via photocopying. Only 3 issues were publisehd with a proper publisher in like stores.
Let's take a look for example at NL's coverage of Electric Brain vs Super Play. Superplay got a 3 page retrospective going over its history, while Electric Brain got one news article that has 1 sentence devoted to the fanzine. The sort of sources we're looking for are more like NL's in depth retrospective. Are there any more sources of that kind of in depth coverage for this magazine? Harizotoh9 (talk) 19:48, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your assertion that "Only 3 issues were publisehd with a proper publisher in like stores."(sic) is demonstrably incorrect/false: check the British Library reference.
You say "low readership" but offer no proof. If you're aware of circulation numbers please add them to the article.
"And was made via photocopying" is not wholly true, particularly when talking about Electric Brain and not any of its earlier incarnations. We have the publisher and ISSN for part of the run.
I'm adding references only for things that need citations - no more and, obviously, no less.
Magazines don't generally go around talking about their competitors so the fact Super Play even mentioned Electric Brain at all is an oddity.
You demand sources. I add them. Then you say they are not good enough? That's your personal opinion, I disagree with that vehemently.
Super Play received a 3 page feature at the time it had a revival issue printed. Before that it had much less coverage, naturally. Mattsephton (talk) 10:28, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Having spent a large proportion of my life in the field of video games and video game writing, I'd argue that without Electric Brain, and in particular its staff writer Jason Brookes, Super Play would not have been as successful and influential as it was, nor made the lasting impact that it did. In this regard, Electric Brain could be considered a prototype for Jason Brookes' later input into Super Play. That would be significant impact in my opinion.
Given that digital versions of Electric Brain are only now becoming available, new scans are uploaded frequently, citations will surely come and the Nintendo Life feature is the first example of this. The same would be expected of other recently introduced publications or any new information.
As WP:NPERIODICAL states "Many periodicals are notably influential without being the subject of secondary sources" which I think is a good summary of this issue. Especially regarding the "Non-contemporary periodicals" clause WP:DEFUNCTNEWS. Mattsephton (talk) 15:35, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Researching obscure fanzines and gaming history can be a laudable goal, but that's not the goal of Wikipedia. This is what fansites, and fan wikis are for. This is niche info. Harizotoh9 (talk) 06:29, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You keep saying that, over and over. It makes no sense and shows real lack of understanding of what this article is even about. It's not obscure and it's a magazine with an ISSN. If you're not from the UK, you might not understand this, that's fine. Perhaps you had not even been born when his magazine was printed, that's also fine. But to say this doesn't belong on Wikipedia without addressing the comment you're replying to is really not adding anything useful to this discussion. I hear your point, no need to keep restating it. It would be more productive for you to address the comment you're replying to. Mattsephton (talk) 13:20, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
For all of the blue-in-the-face insistence that EB is so influential like it's some poor man's EGM, at the end of the day it's a fanzine that had a short shelf life due to, well, low readership. There's next to no third-party coverage on just a Google search alone, and pretty much anything can be added to archive.org. The Nintendo Life piece with Jason Brookes cited in the article makes no mention of Electric Brain at all, so anyone unfamiliar with EB is not going to automatically correlate the two. The writers didn't get their foot in the door of other publications solely on the basis of their work for EB, which was more or less a stepping stone. Gaming fanzines advertising in other gaming magazines also means jack in terms of notability because that was the norm in the pre-internet days. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 07:29, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Again, false information or personal opinion with no facts to back it up, or ignoring relevant cites.
1. "fanzine"? it was a printed, retail magazine with ISSN record, at least for the part of its run this article is about.
2. "short shelf life"? it ran for 35 issues over 4 calendar years. this is not short.
3. "low readership"? [citation needed]. if you are aware of circulation numbers, please add them to the article.
4. "so anyone unfamiliar with EB is not going to automatically correlate [to Super Play]" if they've read the preceding sentence in this article before they follow the reference that will know exactly the relationship.
5. "writers didn't get their foot in the door of other publications solely on the basis of their work for EB"? You have no proof of this. I read it as implied in the Super Play retrospective feature.
6. "like it's some poor man's EGM"? I've made no reference to EGM, and given that I'm not from the USA I have never read an issue of that publication so have no idea about it other than to have heard its name. Similarly, most people from the USA will have never heard or read an issue of Electric Brain at the time it was printed and in circulation. Finally, when you are deleting things from the article, or adding reliable sources or peacock please note the specific references or words that are problematic so they're easy to locate and resolve.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 18:10, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Mattsephton: There has been a reprieve. Please use this time to possibly neutrally advertise at relevant places as this relisting is "to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus". Above you curtly dismissed an editors comments and I would refrain from doing that. Also, you use the wording "Again, false information or personal opinion with no facts to back it up, or ignoring relevant cites". All consensus building hinges on the "opinions" of the editors giving comments hopefully based on policies, guidelines, and even community backed essays, so you disagreeing might not mean an editor has "intent to deceive".
There are at least two editors that edit in the video gaming field. I take this into account when considering comments with substance according to the "rules" (interpretation) when I am reviewing. I don't consider ANY comments that include Appears to be well sourced, even or especially, if offered by an admin, and give little thought to non-policy based SPA comments. Those types of comments are directly counter to what not to state in an AFD and shows what I consider to be trivial comments. Some of us take the time to check individual links as apposed to "counting sources" so as long as I see reviews in earnest I will be swayed more by those editors comments. The one editor you summarily dismissed took the time to list (advertise) the discussion and it has been relisted twice. This means there is extreme fairness going on so PLEASE always assume good faith and present civility.
I started my "gaming" on a Commodore (64 and 128) and when I went into PC's I progressed from the 8088, 80286, 80386, and up. My first "powerful" PC had an amazingly fast turbo speed button of 12 Mhz. I still have gaming consoles and games so could not be considered against the gaming world. I would offer the same about those editors that work in the subject area especially when you cursor over their user name and it is prominent they do so and they are established editors.
I am somewhat perplexed concerning your comments about WP:DEFUNCTNEWS. You stated, "Many periodicals are notably influential without being the subject of secondary sources", and I read, "It is possible for a periodical to be notable according to this standard, and yet not be an appropriate topic for coverage in Wikipedia because of a lack of reliable, independent sources on the subject. Every topic on Wikipedia must be one for which sources exist; see Verifiability.". I am all about history and certainly obtaining knowledge so the "defunct" part to me would be historical value.
When or if you find a source that might signify notability share it here for opinions instead of just "adding it" and then requesting others to re-review. This will lesson the fact that an editor will have to view diff's to see the edit and give a chance for input (reliability) that will stop assertions of refbombing. Just some thoughts.
If there is not significant coverage in reliable independent sources advancing notability then I will submit that in approximately 7 more days the result will still swing to delete. Any bias in editors from the U.S., possibly caused by an inability to find sourcing, can be overcome by someone providing such sources. Otr500 (talk) 20:35, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the level headed, neautrally-positioned discussion.
My WP:DEFUNCTNEWS quote was from the top of that page, section titled This page in a nutshell.
I will add the next source I find here for discussion as you recommend; we appear to be roughly the same age and have the same values so I appreciate your advice and recommendations on this.
My aim here is to point out any AfD discussion that is not based on citable fact, and I will continue to do so.
Aside: I thought this was the 3rd relist (which as I'm sure you know is not advised) but perhaps it is only the 2nd relist and the original AfD does not count towards the relist tally? This is my first AfD so... I really don't know which it is. Mattsephton (talk) 20:49, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In the meantime, please quit removing the article tags atop the page until these issues have been explicitly addressed. Just one example of puffery in the article is, "Electric Brain also featured content that other magazines would shy away from." The citation? Not an independent third-party source, but the magazine. It's not viable information, just opinion. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 07:02, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for quoting a specific example - I've addressed it. In the past I also addressed specific citation links that you had issue with and took the time to mark individually. I'll address every specific example that is raised. Globally tagging a page isn't much help as I'm sure you can understand. Cheers! Mattsephton (talk) 08:27, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
How about a compromise @Beemer69: @Harizotoh9:, let's discuss the issues you both feel need to be tagged on the page, an increasing number with every back and forth, rather than tagging without talking about them? Let's work together to make this article better rather than against each other? Until then I have issued warnings for vandalism as I consider successive, increased tagging of the page an attempt to influence the outcome of this AfD. Mattsephton (talk) 14:03, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Reply: @Mattsephton: I have been involved in more than a few AFD's. If you are around my age then welcome to "old[er] age". My only complaint is that I am living in my "age of retiring gunslinger" period. I strive to be "nicer" in a growing older age but sometimes this "being nice" is confused with or perceived as a weakness. That is generally a fundamental error as I am neither weak nor timid if provoked so continually must check myself. I was born before the first artificial satellite was launched and when commercial jet liners were in their infancy. Considering the cool cars of the era at least the round wheel was invented.
WP:DEFUNCTNEWS is a section and particular subject "Non-contemporary periodicals". The quote you used is actually pretty clear: "Many periodicals are notably influential". While not named this was mentioned by user Harizotoh9 at the beginning of the AFD, "Probably should not be a subject on Wikipedia, but it could be useful for a source.", and this is echoed by, "It is possible for a periodical to be notable according to this standard, and yet not be an appropriate topic for coverage in Wikipedia because of a lack of reliable, independent sources on the subject.", This clearly defines a difference between "notability" and "notably influential". Hopefully some acceptable in-dept coverage can be located.
It is a good idea to address issues (perceived or not) resulting in a tag before removal especially if there is an accurate edit summary or talk page mention. Those that perform maintenance can get riled up if an editor just arbitrarily removes tags and can get an admin involved. I do remove what I consider vague and long term (career) tags but leave an edit summary that if the issues do not seem to be resolved please be more specific. Otr500 (talk) 20:37, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Old cars are the coolest cars, no doubt about it. My first car was a 1972 FIAT 500, marginally older than myself. Of course I bought it long after it was new, at a time it was already considered vintage. Cheaper road tax! Anyway, I digress. As for the tags, I have not been arbitrarily removing them, but rather addressing specific tags and marked targets in the body contents. Once all of these had been addressed I removed the tags, only to see the tags, plus more new ones, were added back without any further information. This seems arbitrary and unfair. I have left more detailed edit summaries for the most recent edits because of this. A little bird told me a recent book quoted Electric Brain so I'm trying to get hold of a copy. Exciting!

A self published book of dubious notability. Despite the claim in the opening line, it did not, in fact, actually win any awards. It was, instead, just a runner up in two, fairly non-notable, awards. I have not been able to find any reviews from reliable sources on the book, as well. The article says that Publishers Weekly created a review of it, and though that review seems to be now unavailable, the entirely of it is included in the article, which consists only of a short paragraph.

These are examples of apples that have originated in Japan, not apples that are known as "Japanese apple". None of the articles show "Japanese apple" as valid alternative names, so all entries fail WP:DABMENTION as well.

It doesn't work as a set index either. Per the guideline (my emphasis added) A set index article (SIA) is a list article about a set of items of a specific type that also share the same (or similar) name. If nothing is named "Japanese apple", you can't have an index saying otherwise either. As an example to your counterexample, Pyrus pyrifolia has a source showing "Asian pear" to be an alternative name for that pear, so that is okay. The sourcing that you provided seems to indicate that an actual article on apples from Japan would be desirable, and it would be nice to reserve the title for something of that sort. -- Tavix (talk) 15:14, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Any apple from Japan can be called "Japanese apple" as a descriptor of what the apple is, but that is separate from an apple having the name "Japanese apple" (which is what dabs and SIAs cover). I agree with you that the way to cover this group of apple cultivars would be with an article of the sort. A stand-alone list should have more than three entries, but I'm sure a list of "Japanese apples" can be included in such an article. -- Tavix (talk) 15:53, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This hasn't been prodded before, but I think this is borderline enough to merit a discussion in either case. I can't find any in-depth review outside torrentfreak entry (https://torrentfreak.com/review/azirevpn-reviews/]) but while I think reliable, TF does list pretty much every VPN. And a single non-promotional review is not sufficient for WP:NSOFT/WP:GNG. Can anyone find any other decent sources for this?

From searches on Google Scholar and News there does not appear to be a notable connection between Buddhism and the concept-of non-interference.

I am proposing this for deletion to test Wikipedia deletion policy against the huge number of articles created in relations to shootings in the United States. Wikipedia doesn't need a repository of every documented school/shooting event, there is already a list for this List of school shootings in the United States. The number of victims involved in a shooting doesn't warrant Wikipedia creating a new article, in my opinion, a new article should be created only if new content or issues are introduced. The relevant policy to this discussion I think is Wikipedia:Notability and WP:NOTNEWSPAPER --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 07:33, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Responding your comments 'elsewhere', I understand that you agitate the position that Wikipedia doesn't operate on precedence but apply policies to each nomination separately. This argument is logically inconsistent, if some fact is used to apply a policy one way, the same logic can be used to apply the policy to a similar set of facts. Otherwise, there would be no need for policies in the first place, if they are going to arbitrarily applied. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 09:55, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's not "agitating", it's a straightforward statement of fact. If you really want to go down the Wikilawyering route, a topic in automatically notable in Wikipedia terms provided it meets either WP:GNG or an SNG, and doesn't violate WP:NOT. Since this clearly meets WP:GNG the onus is on you to demonstrate that it demonstrates WP:NOT. When Wikipedia:Notability (events) talks about crimes not being automatically notable, we mean that we don't include an article on someone who was convicted of drink-driving or allowing their dog to foul the sidewalk, even if it was reported in multiple sources; we're not talking about this kind of major incident. If you want to get our notability policies changed, head on over to WT:N and start an RFC; Wikipedia doesn't work on precedents and even if by some miracle this AfD does close as anything other than "speedy keep", it will have no effect at all on the notability or lack thereof of any other article. ‑ Iridescent 10:14, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Iridescent: I wouldn't call a routine occurrence a 'major' incident, there is already a list of school shootings in the United States. The fact this shooting occurred warrants documentation from a historical perspective, which is achieved through the list. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 10:23, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Subject is a minor 10-mile road that passes through suburban areas on the rural Washington state. Has no coverage except some secondary sources, mainly state transportation department mention. Little coverage in local daily papers, almost all of which is WP:ROUTINE coverage. However, I do admit it cosmetically looks ok, with photos and official looking logos.

Thanks for the FAQ link! It says all state highways are notable BUT it is an editor's essay. I looked and state highways are not automatically Wikipedia notable. This article that is subject to this AFD is an obscure article, not like Interstate 70. Aerostar3 (talk) 06:03, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The FAQ cites precedents that were forged at AFD by consensus, which generally allows primary-level state highways to exist as standalone articles.

Classic case of WP:NOTINHERITED. While she was an important relative of two very, very notable figures, she doesn't seem to be notable herself. The article seems to have been unsourced since its creation in 2006(!), and the six foreign-language articles are similarly source-light - the Chinese version has two books, neither of which seem to be particularly useful notability-wise, and a few deadlinks.

Of course a civilian being killed in war is no big deal, but the wife of a major country's president and the mother of a future president? Can you imagine the coverage in news media if an ex-wife of Trump were killed by his enemies? And that's what happened to Mao 80 years ago. As I said, there are a ton of sources in Chinese, including dozens if not hundreds of books. It's simply ridiculous to claim there's no significant coverage. I've added "Find sources" links for her Chinese name, click them to see for yourself.

Comment This article, Pope Sabinian, has not had a citation in about 15 years but is notable. I do not know this man, Olivier, but the rationale of nothing since 2016 is not a valid reason. Newseditingpedian (talk) 23:38, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That is irrelevant, because "Notability is not temporary; once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" (which is the case here) "in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage" as per our policy. [21] As per WP:LASTING - which is the guideline you are citing, the policy made it absolutely clear that: "Events are often considered to be notable if they act as a precedent or catalyst for something else. This may include effects on the views and behaviors of society and legislation." [22] As I have demonstrated above, there are 54 recognised states in Africa. If 42 out of the 54 decided to boycott an event in India (a single country), I think that is significant and covers the "precedent or catalyst for something else" part of the guideline. That part of the guideline is also covered when it resulted in African diplomats asking their governments to prevent Africans students from visiting India, as well as the tit-for-tat attacks against Indian immigrants in Congo. Not only do they cover the "catalyst for something else" part of the guideline, but also the "effects on the views and behaviors of society." As evident in the sources cited which I chose not to address in detail, even the African immigrants in India reported that they do not feel safe in India because of racism. Mind you, the revenge attacks of Indians in Congo as per the source is just Congo - a single country in Africa. As there are loads of Indian immigrants in many parts of Africa, if I really wanted to, I am sure I would have no problem finding sources for other African nations where Indians have been targeted or mistreated in revenge for the racist attacks of African immigrants in India. As par your comment and vote below, I think it is you who doesn't like it hence why you are asking for it to be deleted without reading properly the policy that you cite.Tamsier (talk) 14:11, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment saying that the 42 out 54 African countries decided to boycott India? , did it happen No. it's ammounting to WP:Syn or may be WP:CRYSTALBALL, if the thing did not occur and was thought in the head by some to occur cannot be considered as "Catalyst" to anything , again if you find sources in all African countries and would like to summarize so that you can prove your theory right then it amounts again to WP:Syn sorry to say some how this is not wiki material.Shrikanthv (talk) 12:27, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: WP:LASTING is about the long-term effects of the events, which Tamsier makes a decent argument it meets which has not been properly refuted. The "delete" votes who cite LASTING actually seem to be referring to WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, which is a different concept, and does not negate the LASTING indication of verifiability.

SACW from 29 May, 2016   fails WP:RS and WP:NOTNEWS
DNA India from 27 May, 2016   fails WP:NOTNEWS

WP:NOTNEWS says "not all verifiable events are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia". WP:LASTING says "noted and sourced permanent effect of historical significance are likely to be notable.... It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect."

This event has clearly failed to attract any WP:SIGCOV right after the occurrence. Let alone the necessary coverage for "weeks or months" after the occurrence. Thus the subject fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:LASTING per nom. Shashank5988 (talk) 16:02, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment — I concur. For several days now I have decided not to make any direct comment about this issue but to argue my case based on policy and sources. Although I alluded to this in my comment above, I deliberately chose not to go into detail for AGF reasons but it was quite evident to me from the get go. As someone who have participated in AfDs for years, I find it worrying that my initial fears are coming to light and other editors are now beginning to see it. As such, it would be foolish of me not to comment on this as it is quite evident on this AfD. Do I believe that all the delete votes are from the Indian subcontinent? Absolutely not. However, the majority are. Due to the sensitive nature of this article, it is quite evident that many are voting delete for nationalistic reasons (as you have mentioned in the ANI tread linked below) rather than per Wiki policy - and I find that rather worrying. The very fact that they do not understand the policy they cite and are merely stating the samething others have stated despite being debunked or clarified by the relisting admin I find rather worrying. In all the years I have participated in AfDs I have never experienced this. And believe me, I have participated in some sensitive and controversial AfDs over the years. I have made the same observations and totally agree with both of you. I hope the closing admin will take this into account when closing this rather sensitive AfD. I do not know for sure whether there is any off Wiki or off English Wiki canvassing going on and therefore do not want to accuse anyone of such a thing without any evidence, and I certainly do not have the time to go around looking for evidence. However, there is something very strange going on here which goes against the spirit of our AfD policies.Tamsier (talk)

Keep. I am the original creator of this article. This event was significant enough at the time to strain Africa-India relation, and led to a strong debate on Racism in India. It is notable enough to be mentioned in discussions in later years. That is more than news. By the arguments put forward as 'Not news', even Tiannamen square tankman would not be news. This is more than news, it is an event that tipped over strained relations between a number of different states, and led to government level talks, policies and interventions. It triggered a social discussion, and influenced lives of people in both continents. The notabillity is not simply for being in the news, it is for having precipitated a number of additional impactful events. I am frankly suprised that this article was nominated for deletion, the fact that many supporters of delete appear to be from idnai has been mentioned. I also note the user Shashank has deleted cited parts of the article which depereceated its content perspective and value. Perspective is important.This is nothing to do with advocacy or whatever. I deeply suspect there is a substantial PoV pushing from some editors in the delete column.rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 08:55, 13 May 2019 (UTC)Note to closing admin: rueben_lys (talkcontribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD.

Like stated below every reported crime can be interpreted to have passed WP:GNG and WP:NCRIME if we go by your logic. What matters is if the incident received significant coverage in independent reliable sources weeks or months after it occurred. Your sources fail that requirement.
Source Analysis
[30] Initial report from 30 May, 2016   fails WP:NOTNEWS
[31] Opinion piece about initial report from 6 June, 2016   Fails WP:NOTNEWS, WP:RS
[32] An opinion piece from April 2017   fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:RS: Article only provides a sentence to the incident and includes other such non-notable incidents.
Since you agree that the incident fails "WP:LASTING/WP:SUSTAINED" your justifications make no sense. Shashank5988 (talk) 11:20, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
From your table, it's clear to me you don't have an understanding of how sourcing works. First, sources themselves cannot fail WP:NOTNEWS. Second, I have absolutely no idea in what world allafrica.com isn't a reliable source. As someone who has done work improving Africa-related articles, it is a very valuable source for coverage. The NPR article isn't being presented to show notability on WP:GNG grounds, but to show this is an event which had a lasting impact which is continued to be discussed. There are other sources from beyond May 2016 showing this wasn't routine news coverage, such as [33] and [34]. Finally, I strongly disagree with you putting words in my mouth. This article does NOT fail WP:LASTING or WP:SUSTAINED, and I believe I clearly said that. SportingFlyer T·C 12:26, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • We only have Khash-Erdene's birthdate through a MFF profile which is purely a statistics database entry (we don't have his birthplace). There is slightly more coverage on Khash-Erdene than Munegabe but almost all of its is a single sentence name-drop or an entry in a statistics database. The only substantive difference between the articles is Khash-Erdene's career is in its infancy, but we shouldn't use WP:CRYSTAL to guess that he might become the subject of significant coverage in the future - it's simple to recreate the article when and if that occurs. Jogurney (talk) 15:50, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's numerous sites listing his 1997 birthdate - including the Mongolian Football Federation's website and ESPN. And I'm not having any problems finding coverage of him in the Mongolian-language media - he was the number 2 goal scorer in the league, in his rookie year, even scoring the only goal, in his teams first-ever victory under their new name. Perhaps we should spend more time checking for GNG in foreign languages; I've added one to the article. Nfitz (talk) 16:56, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did a Google search of "Б Хаш-Эрдэнэ Хөлбөмбөг" and it does yield some coverage in Mongolian-language sources (This appears to mention he received an award) but most of the coverage involves his name appearing in a Mongolian league match report. I just don't see GNG-compliant coverage (although I suspect Google translate is a bit unreliable for Mongolian). Jogurney (talk) 19:39, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think that you make a very good point here. A player is not less notable under NFOOTY just because they've played for a developing nation without extensive media, although media coverage of the team and player do exist. I believe there is a bias here toward "good teams" or "famous" teams. If this player made his international debut for Germany in the last minutes of an 8-0 thumping of San Marino, for instance, that player would certainly be considered notable and the notability of that player would never be questioned. However, that is the logic being applied here to this Mongolian player. Granted, most players for Germany would have surely played for a fully professional club before making their international debut, but the point remains the same in isolation.--Gri3720 (talk) 19:19, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Typically young footballers from nations with more-developed football leagues (e.g., fully-pro leagues) will have already become notable for their play in the league (e.g., Jadon Sancho) before their international debut. Jogurney (talk) 19:50, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I made that exact point in my response. But it is irrelevant here in regards to notability solely through senior international play.--Gri3720 (talk) 20:35, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No part of this nomination hinges on the country he plays for. With respect to my colleagues, I think those that believe that a player becomes "notable" (in any sense of the word) as a result of being substituted in the final minutes of a blowout international friendly are engaged in sheer speculation. I don't think any such player–the one who was put in for "garbage time"–becomes notable, or is considered to have represented their nation, or is considered anything beyond a bench substitute. I don't think you'll find any in-depth profiles of any player in any league from any time who has only played for a few minutes of garbage time. Not in Germany, not in England, not in Mongolia. This is not a case of not having access to sources, because we do have access to sources talking about this player–they just don't mention him playing for the senior national team. Even MongolianFootball.com's mention of this player doesn't mention that he played for the senior national team [49] (though it does mention that the player won a Silver Boot). There is strong evidence that a few minutes of garbage time play doesn't mean anything to anyone, and so it shouldn't mean anything to us, either. Levivich 20:56, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you exaggerate? 4-1 isn't a blow-out - and the game was tied until the 75 minutes. The term "garbage time" isn't widely (if at all) used in soccer. Why keep repeating yourself? You've already made this point. And what's the relevance that the article about a different player, doesn't mention that the brief mention of Batbayar doesn't mention he played for the national team - how would that even have fitted into that article - how does that mean anything? Nfitz (talk) 00:44, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Norjmoogiin Tsedenbal is on Ranker's list of famous Mongolians [50] and famous Mongolian footballers [51]. A blog from last month notes him as the "best player" of the first EAFF round [52]. MongolianFootball.net wrote a full paragraph about his contract extension a few years ago [53]. That paragraph specifically notes his international debut in 2009. Compare that with Khash-Erdene, where MF.net wrote only two sentences, and didn't mention an international senior debut [54]. Baljinnyam Batbold is another. An opposing team included him in a scouting report, calling him "one promising talent", and specifically noting his international debut "earlier this year" [55]. MongolianFootball.net wrote a whole profile of him, and noted his international senior debut in 2018 [56]. This online newspaper article scouting CNMI's opponents [57], including Mongolia, specifically notes both of these players, and others. So, there are people writing about the Mongolian national team and its players, even if these examples aren't all RSes. There are also sources about this player, Khash-Erdene. But nobody writes about this player's few minutes at the end of a 4–1 int'l friendly. Nobody notes this fact about this player, and nobody really notes this player in general; therefore, the player is not notable. Wikipedia shouldn't be the first place where a person's biography appears on the internet, or the first source to write, "so-and-so made their international debut in 2018".

There's an article on David Orr, who was interim mayor for a few days. If we are to delete mayors, that is one. I have heard of "other crap exists" but we should compare articles to get a sense of what is deletable and what shouldn't be.
Orr was A) the interim Mayor of Chicago, America's third largest city; B) a county-wide elected official for a county of over 5,000,000 for 28 years; and C) active in Chicago politics as a elected official for 40 years. So not entirely sure how the two are comparable. Also, because politicians receive local press coverage naturally, the bar for what qualifies as significant coverage is higher for politicians.

This six-year-old orphan article is a mess, and though I have spent extensive time upgrading some other related articles, I don't think this one is either needed or salvagable. It was recently renamed from "Radio regulation in the United States" to the (ungrammatical) "Regulation of radio broadcast in the United States", and much of the article is written in broken, sometime incomprehensible, English.

This article mostly consists of random, unfinished and unconnected thoughts, which duplicates subjects better covered in other articles including Radio in the United States, Radio Act of 1912, Communications Act of 1934, Federal Radio Commission and Federal Communications Commission. Despite the words "radio" and "broadcast" in the title, it actually also covers point-to-point transmissions ("broadcast" is one-to-many"), as well as telephone and television regulation. Thomas H.

About two paragraphs of the contents prior to the most recent changes were word-for-word identical with the subject's website suggesting that it was an auto bio. That article also contained citations for claims that failed verification. Aside from claims not cited as required for WP:BLP, it also appears that there might be an issue on whether the subject MIKE 171 meets the general notability requirements.

This was a draft until 10.52 on 1 May when ICrimea did a cut-and-paste move to mainspace; I have since merged the history of the draft into this page.

The draft had been submitted six times, and rejected six times by four different AfC reviewers, most recently on 30 April. Either those reviewers were all wrong, or this topic doesn't deserve an article here. I'm starting this so that we can reach consensus on which is the case.

No evidence place actually exists. Coordinates point to a neighborhood in Shelbyville, not an unincorporated community. Being listed in a place names database does not establish notability, and all Google results are auto-generated. Reywas92Talk 00:28, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't NFT, but it's preposterous to assume just a name being in the database means there should be a Wikipedia article on it. A small number of people living there decades ago without local government or recognition as for example a census-designated place does not make it notable if there are no sources covering it.

While I was not able to locate any meaningful prose describing Hildebrand Village, it appears to meet the criteria listed at WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:40, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, there are families named Hildebrand! It once appeared on a map! The NWS and Trulia results are auto-generated based on the GNIS database. NONE of these sources remotely pass GNG so this is more evidence that this place is not notable and should be redirected to the county article – nothing would be lost. This doesn't mean we can't include them at Shelby County, Indiana under a "Unincorporated communities" section or "Places that appear in a database but about which no content exists". Tremont is a neighborhood in my hometown, which also has an autogenerated weather.gov page and appears on Google maps. All sorts of subdivisions and unincorporated communities appear in the GNIS database and other databases but that doesn't make them notable. Reywas92Talk 16:30, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. The consensus is not a delete, therefore default keep. Merge can be discussed on talkpage. Tone 16:17, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No unique material from what is contained at Spruce Meadows. Not sure it requires a stand-alone article which is why I changed it to a redirect. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:24, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
