WP:BLP of an organizational founder and former White House staffer, referenced entirely to primary sources with no evidence of reliable source coverage in media shown at all. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to guarantee him an article just because he exists, so the inclusion test hinges on how much media coverage he can be shown to have received -- but the sources here are a press release from a university where he spoke once and an alumni profile on the website of his own alma mater, not notability-supporting journalism.

Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases (only some non-selective ones are listed on its website), no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." Article dePRODded by creator with reason (on talk page): "it more than satisfies the "notability" criteria for academic journals. 23 different Nobel Prize winners have published 29 articles in the journal over the years. The list includes very famous economists such as Milden Friedman and Paul Samuelson. Furthermore, the journal is indexed and archived by JSTORE, the premier and highly selective repository of leading journal backfiles across all major academic fields. The journal is also indexed and cataloged through many readily available bibliographic services including EBSCO, and more importantly for an economics journal, ECONLIT. I will make edits to the page indicating these facts and providing proper references." However, notability is not inherited and the databases listed are not selective in the sense of NJournals. ECONLIT strives to be all-inclusive. Therefore, PROD reason still stands, hence: delete. Randykitty (talk) 19:42, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
From the JSTOR website itself: "JSTOR is a highly selective digital library of academic content in many formats and disciplines. The collections include top peer-reviewed scholarly journals as well as respected literary journals, academic monographs, research reports from trusted institutes, and primary sources."

Comment Yep, they sure put in an effort to sell their access platform. Unfortunately, as far as I know, we have never accepted inclusion in JSTOR as evidence of notability in these kind of discussions. --Randykitty (talk) 15:34, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The CUNY Library page is saying that JSTOR is incomplete, not that it is necessarily selective. The others say that JSTOR includes "major" or "leading" journals, which is true, but they are not evidence that it is limited to them. I can't recall inclusion in JSTOR ever being accepted as evidence of notability, and I don't think we should start. XOR'easter (talk) 17:45, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Its good to see an administrator join the discussion so early. I will comment at the day when I arrive back, but it is more than this article. It seems to be a whole bunch of paid editors pushing this man Sukanto Tanoto companies i.e. Royal Golden Eagle who seems from the evidence from WWF and Greenpeace to be one of the worst deforestation companies in Indonesia, and due to that every article related to that main company seems to be full of promotion. And this included forestry action groups that seem to single it out. I have also sent this to Afd on a separate page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sateri which seems to be in a similar situation. Also it seems these group of companies on Wikipedia seem to have a whole bunch of paid editor coming to add to the promotion on a regular basis, I think to counter the bad press they are getting elsewhere. So we seem to be used as platform for promotion and I am looking for a discussion around this. scope_creepTalk11:42, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, I would respectfully disagree with "promotional" material, as edits are based on reported facts. The language has also been objective. I believe the contention here is the objectivity of "promotion". There's also no greenwashing/whitewashing, as no other contrarian facts were edited or deleted; neither were your deletions disputed. Perhaps we can look at each article more objectively and build up the citation-supported facts. I agree primary references should be removed, and that promotional language be taken out. Issues raised by WWF and Greenpeace have been long addressed and actions have documented in the media, unless the intent here is to keep a particular presentation of facts that is locked in time on Wikipedia, but I hope that is not the intent. Disclosures have been made, and I hope that will not prejudice how we ground our discussion in the merits and material facts of each page. A "whole bunch of paid editors" is very flattering, but I wish there was. Thanks HawkEggz (talk) 04:48, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: Just noticed, and it teaches me to search in future, that the subject was previously nominated for deletion back in 2016 and was passed to keep. Whether he still passes now or not I am now unsure and would like clarification. I also was not aware that combined games of separate leagues counted towards 200 unless it did then and does not now. Reading clearly reads 'or' rather than 'and' regarding the list of leagues. If I am wrong with this nomination, thump me and I'll learn. Tay87 (talk) 20:04, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest this is the first time its been confused in 10 years or so that I can recall, seems pretty obvious to me that it is including any of those leagues but yeah we can always improve. -DJSasso (talk) 18:20, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, when this is kept (oh really coola?:)), article name will at least need to be amended from "Tanja M.Schuster" to "Tanja M. Schuster" or maybe remove middle letter altogether ie. "Tanja Schuster"? Coolabahapple (talk) 01:41, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong retain She is the author or co-author of 63 plant names listed in the International Plant Names Index (link added to the article) and is the co-author of several highly significant papers on the phylogeny and classification of the Polygonaceae. Because of her authorship of plant names, there will be many articles requiring a link from her botanical abbreviation "T.M.Schust." She is clearly a notable botanist. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:19, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Because the link generating templates were using the nonsense string "Tanja M.Schuster" rather than "Tanja Schuster" or "Tanja M. Schuster", searches such as Google Scholar weren't working properly. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:44, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Article expanded, I'll give it a little more time.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tone19:24, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Stuck between Keep and Merge - I'm struggling to get at most of these papers, and I don't have the full SCOPUS access needed for a full h-index check. However google usually overestimates h-indexes for those articles it has (but may be missing some), and it gives a low h-index (7/8) for the author. WP:NACADEMIC also specifically clarifies "Having an object (asteroid, process, manuscript, etc.) named after the subject is not in itself indicative of satisfying Criterion 1.". Countering that, does having lots of objects help? In a more guideline-supported query, NACADEMIC also states does this researcher stand out as clearly more notable or more accomplished than others in the field? - I can well imagine that these niche botanists all have low h-indexes, and so a low one by absolute standards might indicate a good standing comparatively. Finally, NPROF does note that it's particularly likely to have articles that aren't covered by its specific criteria, so that must be considered. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:34, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Nosebagbear: one issue to be considered is that we want to wikilink the first occurrence of the otherwise mysterious author abbreviations that appear after botanical names. So it's of some importance to have somewhere to direct "T.M.Schust." If she had named only a dozen or so taxa, then I'd agree to deletion, but with 63 already, and obviously still active, without an article there will be a lot of red links. Peter coxhead (talk) 20:13, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with Peter coxhead that deleting this page would leave an unseemly hole in Wikipedia, I’m not convinced by the argument to merge with Duma. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 21:49, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep That she is botanical author (or jointly so) for so many taxa makes her highly notable. As she is or will be listed as botanical authority in Wikipedia articles for these taxa, no link leaves a dead end for the reader and a redirect to Duma would WP:ASTONISH.

Subject fails WP:NHOCKEY. Has played on 29 AHL so falls well short of passing criteria #2 and ECHL All-Rookie Team is not enough to pass #3, per research of delete nominations for past members. Tay87 (talk) 19:24, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
delete Not close to meeting any standard of WP:NHOCKEY. Coverage is mainly the typical reporting of transactions and is not close to meeting the GNG.Sandals1 (talk) 21:00, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that I mentioned that in another nomination of mine for clarification as it was a 2nd nomination (unbeknownst at the time). It was kept for that reason but that was in 2016 I am aware the criteria for notability is different now than it was before. I figured it was in one league rather than all as it reads 'or' rather than 'and' so I assumed it was only one league that counts rather than combined, but and there is my answer and my lesson. Tay87 (talk) 13:48, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah its more about playing at the level those leagues are for 200 games rather than a specific league. Especially in Europe where players hop around a bit. -DJSasso (talk) 13:57, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Merge to Cannabis in China and redirect title to MA. This will be accomplished with a two-step process, first moving the edit history specific to the current topic to a separate title, and then restoring the previous edit history of the redirect. bd2412T15:08, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Still just another word for marijuana. Nothing substantive in the article. Should be a redirect to the main article, but a couple of editors insist on recreating. WP is not a dictionary. Onel5969TT me23:41, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep An initial stub for encyclopedic article about important name with a 5,000-plus year history. There is plenty of room for expansion in several areas, including migration of the term into other parts of the world, as alluded to in Abel. It would be inappropriate to merge into Cannabis in China because the article is about the etymology of the word ma and its history of use worldwide, including 500-plus years of English use. -- The Hammer of Thor (talk) 18:45, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Retitle and redirect This is the English language Wikipedia but the title of the page in question is currently a Chinese word. The English sources for this topic have titles such as Cannabis in China and such a title would be more meaningful and helpful for our English language readership. The primary topic for the word "Ma" in English is mother and directing readers to an article about an illegal drug instead is an improper Easter egg. Also, per WP:DICDEF, our content should be structured around the general meaning of a topic, rather than being based upon a particular word. So, the page should be retitled and the current title used as a redirect to Mother, replacing Ma (mom). Andrew D. (talk) 09:18, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Revert, this was a happy little redirect page for over 10 years until The Hammer of Thor, who appears to have some sort of obsession with canabis, changed it, there is nothing that shows that this "chinese canabis ma" should have priority over any other MA. Coolabahapple (talk) 06:09, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That is not a valid argument in a deletion discussion. Debating content and/or how to "fix" articles isn't what we do here, sorry ☆ Bri (talk) 23:12, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't a redirect page to a disambiguation page for so long show a certain amount of consensus about how a word is to be treated? looking at the talkpage, an editor raised their concern at the redirect being replaced and was ignored, then reverts occurred and now we are at afd, there may have been a more co-operative way of doing this. Coolabahapple (talk) 06:20, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment it occurs to me that this debate has more than a little chauvinistic tone to it. Like East Asian topics are second-class citizens to "proper" English words. This is indeed the English Wikipedia, which guides the language we write in; it does not drive the articles we write about nor determine which has "priority". A strong argument can be made that in an encyclopedia, a many-thousands-year-old sociocultural entity takes priority over a slang word. Also, for precedent, note that Pa is a disambiguation page, not merely a redirect-as-slang to Father. See WP:PRIMARYUSAGE, "A topic is primary for a term with respect to long-term significance if it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term" (emphasis mine). I don't buy any of these arguments that when an English speaker utters "ma" she's probably referring to her mother, therefore delete. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:24, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have not !voted. But I think the discussion here is largely way off base. WP:DICDEF defines a Wikipedia entry as "concept, a place, an event, a thing etc. that their title can denote" which I think the article under discussion does in fact do; it is a discussion of a multi-cultural (multi-continental in fact) sociological phenomenon as much as it is about a word. So that invalidates several of the !votes above. At least one other talking about reverting or otherwise making content changes are improper for this venue. The sole vote Retitle and redirect uses the ethnocentric argument that a Chinese term should not be an article topic. I don't see any good arguments here other than Keep. ☆ Bri (talk) 01:25, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, Warning! humor to follow, proceed with extreme caution. Sorry everyone i can't resist, from above comment: "I don't buy any of these arguments that when an English speaker utters "ma" she's probably referring to her mother", you're probably right, when an English speaker infant utters "ma" they are more likely asking for cannabis ... hmmmmmm, i wonder if the South Park crowd would like to incorporate this into an episode involving Ike? anyway, i will now go back to munching all the chocolate eggs that Big Bunny has left me and will leave this afd to more sensible editors.Coolabahapple (talk) 12:40, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(Restating keep) The article is appropriately-written from a neutral worldview. [Note that ma (mother) is unlikely to become a stand-alone Wikipedia article. The slang words mama, momma, and mom are similarly unlikely, even though they're more commonly-used.] -- The Hammer of Thor (talk) 00:32, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to any of the options above, but maybe the Ma (disambiguation). If someone types in Ma they should not go to Mother or Master of Arts or Million years ago, this is why we have disambiguation pages. Have the Chinese Ma go to the 12? or so Chinese words spelt that way or History of cannabis. Just about everything has an older word in Chinese than there is in English, we don't need pages for each one. (Dushan Jugum (talk) 06:55, 26 April 2019 (UTC)).[reply]
(Restating keep) I don't think there's been any sort of strong argument made that the subject isn't important or interesting enough for a Wikipedia article, other than some derogatory name-calling (like "illegal drug." Note: I expect that if the subject were a porn celebrity working under the stage name of Ma that s/he might encounter similar bias.)
The infant stub for an article about an important subject, here, is already well on its way and is shaping up nicely.
A number of suggestions have been made which have been inappropriate places for the information to be merged into, because the suggested articles are about unrelated subjects. History of cannabis, for instance, is about the history of the cannabis plant. This article is about the history of the word ma. As such, it has more in common with articles like cannabis (word) and marijuana (word).
And that raises the question about moving the article to ma (word), however per Wikipedia guidelines the parenthetical clarification is unnecessary unless there is another subject of greater importance vying for the space. The obvious competition, ma (mother) is unlikely to become a stand alone article, as noted above. And obscurity is irrelevant to importance, anyway. For an example that's closely-related here, I'll point to the stand-alone article for Momma.
Some of what has been said is worth noting. And several criticisms over the past weeks have led to improvements being made to the article stub. My best suggestion is that the article Ma could be reverted to a redirect page, pointing to Má and the current contents of the article be moved there. I think this would meet Wikipedia guidelines, if others agree. -- The Hammer of Thor (talk) 15:30, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article is about a distinct concept, which is the word and culture around the word of the Chinese term for "cannabis". There was a similar deletion discussion at Marijuana (word). I recognize that Wikipedia is not a dictionary. What brings this content outside the scope of a dictionary and into the scope of the encyclopedia is the information on the cultural connotation of the word, the third-party journalism remarking on the age of the word as thousands of years, and the etymological comparison of both the origins and the travels of this word. Having multiple publications discuss the word - not the concept behind it, but the word itself - in multiple contexts over years seems closer to keep than delete. I acknowledge that the sourcing is not solid and keep is not certain. We do not have a publication featuring this specific word as the subject, and instead have discussion of this word as subtopics of other publications. I say keep only because there is enough of that. Blue Rasberry (talk)16:42, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment After reading some of this discussion, I'm not sure if the article should be "removed" by redirection. However, I still believe that the article should be moved, and the title Ma redirected to either Mother or Ma (disambiguation). It seems confusing that "Ma" would be the topic of the Chinese word for marijuana. I don't believe that this Ma is the primary topic. Natg 19 (talk) 23:47, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Likewise thank you for the explanation. I suppose I just feel that there has to be a better way than Ma (word), Cannabis (plant), Cannabis (drug), History of cannabis and Marijuana (word). But I don’t know it, so I will take away my vote. That just leaves us with Ma meaning many things in Chinese and English (partially without the macron), a bridge to cross later. (Dushan Jugum (talk) 01:11, 29 April 2019 (UTC)).[reply]
Strong Redirect to the disambiguation page of Ma. This is
one of the most simple and common words in the English language. And it is also a word with many other important meanings. The relevant guideline is quite clear: Disambiguation is required whenever, for a given word or phrase on which a reader might search, there is more than one existing Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead. Confining "ma" to a single meaning/article, whether it's Chinese marijuana or anything else, would be a gross violation of Wikipedia's guidelines. -The Gnome (talk) 09:03, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(Restating keep) Multiple unique, robust scholarly sources, bolstered by several independent journalists writing over a large span of time about the subject, the word, not the plant or the drug, indicate a distinct notability of the topic. -- The Hammer of Thor (talk) 13:05, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - they have won awards, had some coverage and collaborated with well-known musicians - while none of this is major under WP:BAND, it is enough to establish notability - Epinoia (talk) 00:41, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The awards are under the umbrella of the International Awards Group, LLC, which is not notable; if anyone cares to dig deep past the hyperbole on their website [1] you'll see their purpose is primarily as a marketing and promotion service for members. The "coverage" can be deceptive when one sees the links to New York Times or Village Voice, but clicks on the links reveal the subject to merely be among the exhibiting vendors at various events. It is not significant coverage. The involvement of notable names with this collective, as pointed out, fails per WP:NOTINHERIT, as any coverage/and or recognition is due to the notable person and not specifically about the collective beyond perhaps a namecheck.

I was going to rewrite this article to describe this, but I can find a total of 1 result on Pubmed and 0 on clinicalkey and accessmedicine where this term is used. Google results include a few very old uses of this word. If anything, this could be a dictionary definition. Natureium (talk) 15:01, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As the nomination says, the article is inaccurate, and the only sources that exist are medical dictionaries (e.g. Stedman's and Mosby's) that report that "chromatophobe" is synonymous with "chromophobe", and is simply the antonym of "chromatophile"/"chromatophil". It means any cell that does not stain. And that's it. Other sources use it to mean that, and do not make it the name of a distinct subject. It is a pity that staining does not discuss resistance. But that is probably where the fact that not all cells stain should be explained to readers. chromatophobe, chromophobe, chromatophile, chromophile, chromatophil, and chromophil could all redirect there, if that were so. But for now redirect to chromophobe cell which this simply duplicates poorly. Uncle G (talk) 14:31, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Would have redirected to Operation Bawaria, but felt a community discussion was warranted. This appears to be a classic WP:BIO1E case, which is borne out by the fact that most of this article is about the operation, in which he is only briefly mentioned. Onel5969TT me16:19, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Don't delete - Someone ruined the article previously. So it was made into a draft, then is under construction. Previous records speaks that whenever i see article about S. R. Jangid was viewed by 30000-50000 viewers for 30 days.
Delete - while not doubting Jagid's bravery, does not meet WP:BASIC, the references seem to be mainly about the operation, not Jangid himself - only passing mention in the Operation Bawaria article - the Operation Bawaria article says the film "Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru, a Tamil film based on this case," but the Jangid article says, the "film Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru was based on Jangid's life history," so there may be an element of promotion or advocacy here WP:NOTPROMOTION, WP:ADVOCACY - Epinoia (talk) 00:20, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a musician, which does not really demonstrate a clear WP:NMUSIC pass and is referenced to sources of uncertain reliability. This was created in draftspace and submitted to the AFC queue, but then the creator bypassed the actual AFC process by moving it to mainspace themselves before it actually got reviewed -- but their reasoning for doing so, that his name was already mentioned in other articles, is not an automatic notability freebie that exempts a person from actually having to clear a normal inclusion standard like NMUSIC or GNG. But after running the footnotes through Google Translate, I can confirm that two of them are routine primary source directory entries in IMDb-like databases, two are short blurbs on web portals that aren't real media outlets, and the only one that appears to be a genuinely reliable source is actually much more about his twin brother than it is about him -- so none of these sources cut it at all, but nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt his sources from having to cut it. I'm willing to reconsider this, and/or support returning it to draftspace, if there's legitimate reason to believe it's improvable -- as I can't personally read Korean, I'm not in a position to determine whether better sources exist or not: I can only google-translate the sources that are already present, and the sources that are already present are junk.

No indication in the article that the subject passes WP:NMUSIC. The only independent source in the article is a local news website review of a self-published album by a band she was in. Checked for better sources, and found several other people called Margot Day, but very little about this one subject, not enough to pass WP:GNG. See below - withdraw following substantial improvements using archived sources. GirthSummit (blether)15:54, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I was able to find quite a bit of sourcing. Day was part of the underground music scene in the 80s and 90s. She still performs today. I've cleaned up article and added references. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 04:01, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Withdraw nomination due to substantial improvements.
Wow - you put a bit of work into that Megalibrarygirl, very impressive! I've reviewed the sources you were able to find. A couple of them (this and this) just give trivial passing mentions, and This doesn't seem to lead to the right page - I just get a menu screen when I go there. This looks as though it's a dead tree version of WP:UGC - a page of album reviews sent in by readers. However - the review that was in the article already, and this one that you added, are reasonably lengthy reviews of her work in local newspapers (The Burlington Free Press and Seven Days (newspaper)). I think this would now just about pass under the first criterion of WP:MUSICBIO, since we have two independent secondary sources giving non-trivial coverage. GirthSummit (blether)08:41, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Girth Summit: Thanks! I enjoy looking for people lost in history! I did screw up one of the archived pages. The review for Legends Magazine is archived here. Sorry for that. :( Not sure why the Flip Magazine link isn't showing for you. I found it on Internet Archive. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:17, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That new link works for me, thanks - I think that adds weight to the notability. I don't know what was up with the original link - there was no message to tell me why it didn't work, it just took me to a blue menu page. It might be something to do with my being in the UK? Lots of US publications block access to European IPs these days, but they usually tell us that they're doing it... GirthSummit (blether)17:30, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Josep Raich doesn't appear to meet our notability guidelines. While the article includes some useful stats (in its infobox), it doesn't establish him as anything other than a run-of-the-mill player (per my admittedly limited understanding of European football). That said, geography articles of the same length are usually kept due to the inherent notability of their locations. Likewise, for such a stub (such as this) to last so long I feel that there may be a similar policy for non-living people, and thus have come for AfD to determine if there is such a policy, as well as decide if this article should be kept or deleted. ElectroChip123 (talk) 15:53, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. passes NFOOTY by dint of playing in Barcelona FC (which I assume was in a FPL back in the 40s) and other clubs, as well as a national appearance (didn't verify that bit myself). Assessing GNG for this period with online sources is a bit tricky - so I am relying in part on NFOOTY's presumed notability, however the subject does appear in [2] and [3] for instance. Icewhiz (talk) 16:29, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - article about professional and international footballer who is the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources (did the nominator even look at the linked Mundo Deportivo article?). Jogurney (talk) 13:51, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jogurney: First off, with respect to the comment "did the nominator even look at the linked Mundo Deportivo article?", this is the English Wikipedia, so forgive me for not being fluent enough in Spanish to understand them. Secondly, I would hardly quantify three articles as "significant coverage in reliable sources" worthy of inclusion in the English Language Wikipedia. As per the other comments, WP:NFOOTBALL is what actually saves this article from deletion, and thus I was correct in not boldly slapping a PROD on it. Lastly, I want to thank you for your contributions to the article itself, as they do help establish his significance to the (English speaking) readers. Warmest regards - ElectroChip123 (talk) 01:01, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think an editor ought to at least review the references included in the article before nominating an article for deletion. I realize Mundo Deportivo is a Spanish-language source, but there are plenty of reasonably-useful online translators available and even without that, you can see a Spanish daily newspaper dedicated a full page tribute in the 1980s to this footballer from the 1930s/40s (which ought to suggest a level of notability beyond that of a run-of-the-mill player). Jogurney (talk) 21:21, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Just because an article lacks sources doesn't mean that topic is not noteworthy, Josep Raich clearly had a pretty good career from what I can see and you're looking for sources in all the wrong places, post computer age biographies should be reviewed differently and google, internet search, etc is not a suitable way to analyse GNG specifics.

weak Keep arguably enough gNews hits [6] for this tiny party to scrape past WP:GNG by the skin of it's teeth. But note that some of this news hits are for older "progressive" parties, some are trivial, and the sources now in the article consist of 1 dead link, links ot the govt agency that monitors elections, and to the party itself. Woefully inadequate sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:29, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The original Oregon Progressive Party was notable in its own right. See BLANKENSHIP, WARREN M. progressives and the Progressive Party in Oregon, 1906-1916, ProQuest Dissertations Publishing, 1966.--TM23:50, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've boldly removed that since it doesn't actually have any link to the current Progressive Party (which was founded as the Peace Party) and since it doesn't claim common heritage AFAIK. If that party is independently notable you can make a page for it. ToaNidhiki0500:25, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've boldly restored the information. Whether they have a common link or not, the party shares the name of a historic party with ample sourcing.--TM00:51, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Let's take this to the talk page. It's not the same party (this party wasn't founded as the Oregon Progressive Party and doesn't claim a common history), so I don't see a reason it should share a page. In fact that party is actually part of the Progressive Party (United States, 1912), which is not related at all to this, so if it should be mentioned anywhere it goes there. ToaNidhiki0500:58, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is quite logical that someone looking for the history of progressive parties in Oregon would be interested in both iterations of the same party. Whether it claims lineage or not (I don't think either of us know for certain) is irrelevant. It is senseless to ignore one Oregon Progressive Party when sources clearly exist. Arguably, that version of the OPP probably has a better claim to notability than the current version, though I think both are notable.--TM01:01, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as creator of article back in 2007. Azula still seems to be a person of note in the advertising industry,[7] the two year long ad campaign he create for UPS was widely discussed using his name,[8][9] and actor Bill Hader portrayed Azula in a sketch in episode of Saturday Night Live.[10] I wouldn't necessarily object to merge of this bio into an article created about the UPS Whiteboard ad campaign itself, but I see no pressing reason to wipe the whole thing from history. -- Kendrick7talk16:13, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Prod removed by creator on the basis that "we're verified on google" however I can find no evidence that this is a notable label. There are no independent sources which would contribute to notability and afaict, no accomplishments that would satisfy any of the variants of nmusic/ncorp. Praxidicae (talk) 14:10, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as no demonstrated notability. I had placed the original proposed deletion tag with the reason "No indication of notability per WP:GNG or WP:ORG.

Keep Trap Youngan Records was the first record labels in it’s area, TYR was the first music distribution company in it’s area, TYR was lots of publicity on Instagram, they preform throughout the United States, and they’re verified on Google. They were the first at some of everything in their area. How could you consider them to not be notable? They’ve literally reached thousands of people, when their city barely has a thousand people. If that’s not notable, I don’t know what is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.29.211.246 (talk) 18:25, 2 May 2019 (UTC) — 207.29.211.246 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Trap Youngan is a upcoming label and the owners of Trap Youngan are very well known locally. Trap Youngan is already and has been for awhile Google certified. This label has music on all the main platforms including google play, apple music, dezzers,ect. Their artists @lahnookbadazz & @richest_jayy have two upcoming shows go look on their social medias to find more about that. Find the owners by googling @lahmaury and @richest_jayy they are under the same name on all social media. They both have over 15k and elevating everyday. They also have their own website https://trapyrecords.wixsite.com/trap . They even have their own clothes brand for sell find out more by googling trap youngan designer. TRAP YOUNGAN RECORDS IS WIKIPEDIA WORTHY AND ITS NOT HARD TO TELL. If anyone disagree then they probably never had to come up out the mud with something and turn nothing into something. The Members even have bios in magazines to tell you about them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.29.211.246 (talk) 18:53, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – A big red flag is that their website is on Wix.com, which is a free website builder that anyone can use to make a website. No indication that this label has received any attention at a level that would make them notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia. It doesn't look like their artists have been reviewed by any major (e.g. national readership) publication. Mz7 (talk) 22:08, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Anybody can create a website, no matter who they use to do it. Yeah, we’re not on Sony Records’ level, but we’re still notable. Wikipedia doesn’t require that you be reviewed major publicist.

Lahmaury and 207.29.211.246: "Wikipedia doesn’t require that you be reviewed by a major publicist"... yes, unfortunately it does... or rather, notability on Wikipedia is determined by the amount of coverage you have received from reliable sources that are not related to the subject (so your own social media and blogs don't count, articles in newspapers or established online websites do). You have to show that the subject passes the criteria at WP:GNG and WP:ORGCRIT to justify a Wikipedia article. Just existing as a brand and having a website and social media is not enough. Richard3120 (talk) 12:53, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Soft delete - perhaps a case of WP:TOOSOON - right now does not meet WP:CORPDEPTH or WP:ORGCRITE, which requires that "it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject" - publicity on Instagram, having a website and clothing line is not a basis for notability - if the company does achieve notability it can be refunded - Epinoia (talk) 21:42, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Epinoia, you can't choose a "soft" delete... that only happens when nobody has taken part in the discussion, which is not the case here, and is a decision made by the closing admin. So either you think it should be kept or deleted. Richard3120 (talk) 21:51, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete since subject fails WP:CORP. If we had notability criteria specifically for record companies (we don't; see here) we could perhaps have kept the article. As things stand, we cannot. -The Gnome (talk) 09:29, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that even if we had specific guidelines for record labels, this would still not meet it. Praxidicae (talk) 13:32, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Specific notability guidelines for record labels wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea, but I would imagine at a minimum they would require coverage in multiple, independent sources, and a roster of at least two notable acts, neither of which are met here.

Keep. Citation record (7 pubs with over 100 cites in Google Scholar) is enough for WP:PROF#C1 and the "in memoriam" piece provides enough detail on his life to fill out a short article. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:19, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The Guggenheim Fellowship is a monetary award that was awarded to over 300 people in 1956[13], and is not a "Fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor" so PROF C3 is not met. NPROF also explicitly says "Citation measures such as the h-index, g-index, etc., are of limited usefulness in evaluating whether Criterion 1 is satisfied. They should be approached with caution because their validity is not, at present, completely accepted, and they may depend substantially on the citation database used. They are also discipline-dependent; some disciplines have higher average citation rates than others." The obituary is written by his friends and does not meet the GNG criterion that RSes be independent; existence of detail is not notability. Reywas92Talk05:15, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:PROF as David Eppstein and IntoThinAir explain above. Additionally, his murder was covered in newspapers accessible on Newspapers.com. There is a lot of biographic info that can be added to this article. Thsmi002 (talk) 12:50, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per multiple WP:INDEPENDENT sources that exist that recognize him as a president of the IGF, which satisfies WP:NACADEMIC#C6. Some sources[14] even use the phrase "internationally renowned" which goes to #C1 - a far better indication of notability than arbitrary citation h-index. -- Netoholic@17:35, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Sorry I am just joining the discussion now, I was away for a few days. I am sorry when I put the article up I did not thoroughly research this man, but it seemed obvious to me he was an important scientist in his field, and the fact that he was murdered seemed to add to the interest people might have about him, but I just didnt have time when I put the article up to do the needed research. I will try and add some information and hope that helps keep the article on Wikipedia. Thanks. Melissastevens (talk) 06:17, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. It seems like the sources offered by the keep camp have been mostly uncontested and valid counterarguments were offered on the WP:BLP1E concerns as well. I see the canvassing concerns but even discounting the head-count completely the keep camp appears to have the stronger, better supported arguments.

Strong keep per GNG (disclaimer: article creator). Also, nominating editor should know the page should be redirected, not deleted, if the subject is not independently notable. But I believe there's sufficient secondary coverage. They were notable even before appearing on RPDR. ---Another Believer(Talk)20:47, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Woodensuperman, I understand your concerns about canvassing, but simply posting links to AfD pages at a relevant WikiProject should not be problematic, especially when WikiProject RuPaul's Drag Race members have been perfectly willing to vote merge/redirect in past discussions (see example1 and example2). I think you should actually assume good faith and welcome editors most familiar with the subjects to participate in the ongoing discussions, thanks. ---Another Believer(Talk)13:49, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect noticed this through sexuality related AfD. "He has two dogs, named Edgar and Felicity" Wikipedia is not a social media page to show trivial matters of that nature and not every contestant that appears in a show are inherently notable. The page should be deleted, then redirected into show or the season's page where the person can be a line item in the season. Graywalls (talk) 19:15, 2 May 2019 (UTC) Clarify: not addressed to anyone in particular. Just reading through the article, I'm getting the impression that this subject is known only for their appearance in a season and I'm not finding them to surpass WP:BIO notability and the inclusion of trivial information like her pets in my opinion is an indication of struggling notability and padding it up with anything verifiable via secondary sources.

Keep there are enough sources to pass GNG, not only for RPDR, but also for gay rights activism. In addition, I'd argue that the National Entertainer of the Year is a notable award and an important one in the drag community. The article for Drag pageantry needs serious work, but there's a lot of sources out there on the various drag pageants. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:44, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The subject has raised over $2 million from their charity, which is thought to be the only "drag-queen-supported fund of its kind"; won an Entertainer of the Year award; won a Create Columbus Commission Visionary Award from the Columbus City Council; won an equality award from the Human Rights Campaign; and was included in Columbus Business Firsts "40 Under 40" list in 2018... all before appearing on RPDR. The recent RPDR coverage has only increased their profile, but that's not all they're known for. --Kbabej (talk) 22:47, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This subject, though made viral by a reality show, was a person of prominence in the LGBT+ community for many years, and had one of the most significant and well-funded non-national LGBT+ charities. The widespread influence of this subject cannot be denied. --vvayside (talk) 22:47, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The subject of the article certainly rose to prominence due to his participation in RuPaul's Drag Race, but he was a notable before this, which is especially demonstrated in the "Personal life and philanthropy" section of the article.

Seemingly minor self-published freeware videogame from the 1990s. As was the case during the 2008 AfD, the article still lacks any secondary sources or suggestion of why the game was significant. All I can find online is some forum fan chat. Lord Belbury (talk) 10:32, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. There is no consensus in favour of a G4 speedy deletion (which appears to be invalid in this context, anyhow) and the deletion camp has not raised concerns about notability. I see the concerns about votestacking but it doesn't appear like it has swayed the deletion discussion. If there are concerns about the quality of the article content (and I am not seeing a consensus on that, either) they can be handled through editing.

This was already deleted under Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Snatch Game, as this article about a recurring segment of a TV series is WP:FANCRUFT and the minutiae described here is not notable outside of the context of the show and is not a suitable topic for a stand-alone article. These issues were not and cannot be addressed, and the article should be speedily deleted under WP:CSD#G4. This was successfully instigated yesterday, but due to WP:CANVASSING and WP:LOCALCONSENSUS on the talk page, this was restored in a bizarre turn of events. Article needs to be deleted per the outcome of the previous AFD, which still stands. --woodensuperman09:49, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do Not Speedy - None of the criteria for speedy deletion are present here. The previous delete discussion did not concern substantially the same page (compare 12 ). Previous AFD no longer stands as it concerned a different page. I am neutral as to whether this deserves a stand-alone article, though I note (even keeping in mind WP:WAX) that it is not totally unknown for a segment of a TV show to warrant coverage in an article separate to that of the main article covering the show as a whole (thinking particularly of Top Gear (2002 TV series) and [[15]]). Local Consensus is still consensus, AFD is just another talk forum and may actually have less accurate analysis applied by editors. FOARP (talk) 10:33, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Let's start with the basics: size then - 20,391 bytes, size now - 41,935 bytes. Sources then - 10, sources now - 23. Content then - short lede followed by tables, content now - extensive lede followed by tables and then a section on its reception. There's just no way that the substance of the articles can be described as the same, particularly given the number of edits by different editors which indicates that the process of page-creation was not a cut/paste of the old page. Hence they are not "substantially the same" as required by WP:CSD#G4. Like I said, I'm neutral about whether this should exist as a stand alone article because I haven't had a chance to check the referencing, but the Speedy criteria you've raised here just don't apply to this case. FOARP (talk) 10:49, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So it's been padded out a bit, so what? Its substance is still the same WP:FANCRUFT. Anything important can be mentioned in a small section on the main series article. --woodensuperman10:51, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. It's just padding, the substance is still the same. Just because some "facts" have been referenced doesn't imply independent notability. --woodensuperman11:05, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, then you're wrong. Content which adds an explanation of the topic's context, which was absent from the first version but is present here, is a significant change in substance. Significant improvement in the sourcing, with over three times as many footnotes and more like four or five times as many footnotes to reliable rather than junk sources, is a significant change in substance. Had I been the administrator who came across the article in the speedy deletion queue, I would have looked at the original deleted version to compare it to the current version, and immediately declined the speedy as the article was not substantively identical at all. Bearcat (talk) 14:29, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, then, they were wrong too: there's significant context in this version that was absent from the first, and there's five times as much reliable sourcing in this version as there was in the first. Bearcat (talk) 14:49, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have to agree with Bearcat here. Article was clearly not eligible for speedy deletion, but I don't expect us to convince Woodensuperman otherwise. ---Another Believer(Talk)14:51, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- This should have gone through DRV rather than being restored/recreated. It's still just an excessively detailed, undersourced wad of fancruft. As to whether G4 applies, that is one speedy criterion that needs to be interpreted broadly rather than narrowly. That is because of the cynical habit of certain article creators to remake their cruft with a handful of cosmetic changes but without doing anything to address the original reason for deleting. And then expecting it to be immune against G4. I'd be OK with a G4 if it was just the addition of a couple of unsourced entries, or fidgeting with templates, but that would be a huge stretch in this case. ReykYO!12:16, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:TVSHOW this is a segment of a long-running, nationally-broadcast show with apparent stand-alone notability and therefore notable. Sourcing as to the notability of this section of the show includes multiple, reliable, independent sources ( 1234 ). Please note that each of these sources is (as shown by the titles) about the Snatch Game section of the show specifically, and not about the show in general, and thus is WP:SIGCOV for Snatch Game. Particularly, each of these sources points out that this section of the show is a "fan favourite" or similar and thus has notability of its own.
Whilst I have a lot of sympathy for the proposals to merge with RuPaul's Drag Race in the previous AFD, at 83,187 bytes RuPaul's Drag Race is already clearly WP:TOOLONG and therefore it makes sense to have a WP:SPINOFF page. I think without that I might have voted to merge/delete instead. As to the excessive detail and WP:CRUFT in the article - I think this is a fair point, but without that you'd still have a spin-off article and the parent article would still be too long to accommodate its content. I also agree that brigading and WP:CANVASS shouldn't be used to influence decision-making. FOARP (talk) 12:33, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think there are only really about two good paragraphs here worth saving, which wouldn't really amount to much of an article. If you're concerned about the main RuPaul's Drag Race being WP:TOOLONG, then I think the whole of the WP:CRUFTy "Music" section could easily be sacrificed! Or maybe the "Seasons" section could be trimmed/split to the episodes or individual seasons pages? Whichever, we really shouldn't be entertaining this as a standalone article. --woodensuperman12:46, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep per GNG and Talk:Snatch_Game#Contested_deletion. There's plenty of secondary coverage about the subject, which is a recurring challenge spanning multiple series and has notable people impersonating other notable people. Multiple editors have already expressed a desire to keep and improve the existing entry. ---Another Believer(Talk)13:41, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There's no way for a discussion to resolve at all if it's just between two people and doesn't get any outside input — and publicizing the discussion somehow is the only way any outside input can ever actually happen. Pinging people who might have something to contribute is not automatically canvassing — "come vote the way I direct you to" would be canvassing, "come offer your opinions, but I'm not directing you how to vote" is not. I, for example, have been perfectly happy to vote "merge/redirect" on Drag Race-related articles if the sources just weren't cutting it, such as contestant BLPs that were sourced to blogs and "meet all the queens" listicles rather than sources that were about the contestant per se — so pinging me is definitely not "stacking the vote", because I'm not a predictably reliable keep vote for all DR-related content and Another Believer knows that. He and I don't even always agree on everything, but we at least respect each other's opinions and input either way: he pinged me because he felt I would have something valuable to contribute to the discussion, not because he knew in advance whether I'd actually support or oppose the question. Bearcat (talk) 14:56, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not actually a "superfan". I'm actually quite rarely involved in editing Drag Race-related articles at all except in a primarily administrative "cut out the fucking vandalism" capacity. Yeah, I've watched the show, but strictly in a "I can take it or leave it" sort of way: it can be entertaining, but I'm not obsessed and my life doesn't revolve around it. It's not normally very high on my list of editing priorities on here at all — my primary editing projects on here usually pertain to Canadian film, television, literature and politics, not reality shows of any stripe, and I had never actually edited a Drag Race-related article in my life until I had to step in as an administrator within the past month because of all the recent "this chart should reflect what I wanted the judges to say instead of what they really said" vandalism that's been hitting the season placement charts. Bearcat (talk) 15:11, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for lumping you in with the others, but everyone else that was pinged is a member of the WikiProject, which didn't seem very neutral. I'll sit back for a while now, I'm getting too invested in this, but I still think this is little more than WP:FANCRUFT, especially the charts. --woodensuperman15:20, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's not good faith to preemptively assume that people who are more active members of the Drag Race Wikiproject are automatically suspect either: as has already been pointed out to you, even active wikiproject members have been perfectly happy to support merger or deletion of a Drag Race-related article if the sourcing simply wasn't cutting it. The project's actually doing a very creditable job at trying to improve the quality of the articles under their purview — far, far more than some wikiprojects I could name (*side-eyes WP:PORN and whistles*) — and is very much not resting on cruft or bad sources. Bearcat (talk) 15:30, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Woodensuperman, I understand your concerns about canvassing, but simply posting links to AfD pages at a relevant WikiProject should not be problematic, especially when WikiProject RuPaul's Drag Race members have been perfectly willing to vote merge/redirect in past discussions (see example1 and example2). I think you should actually assume good faith and welcome editors most familiar with the subjects to participate in the ongoing discussions, thanks. ---Another Believer(Talk)13:49, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As I explained on the talk page, an AFD deletion does not represent a permanent ban on the subject ever being notable enough for a Wikipedia article — we have lots of topics that were deleted at one time, but were then allowed to be recreated later on because the basis for notability had changed: the topic had accomplished something new that constituted a stronger notability claim than it had at the time of the first version, better sourcing could be shown to bolster passage of WP:GNG, and on and so forth. So the fact that an article has been deleted in the past does not mean that any followup attempt to recreate it is always an automatic speedy — if an editor can do a better job than the first time, making a stronger notability claim and citing better sources, then they most certainly are allowed to try again. Certainly we still speedy if they haven't actually done better, but if they have done better we evaluate the new version on its own merits rather than speedying. The original version literally just stated that this exists, and then went straight to the results tables without actually doing anything to contextualize its existence at all, and cited just eight footnotes of which only four were actually reliable sources at all — while this version does a lot more to contextualize the topic's significance within Drag Race, and cites 23 footnotes of which only one is even questionable as to whether it's a reliable source or not. Which means there's a lot more content here, and five times as much reliable, notability-supporting media coverage, which means this is not "substantively the same as the deleted content" at all. Again, speedy does not automatically apply to every attempt to recreate a topic that's been deleted before, because sometimes the basis for notability and/or the quality of the sourcing have changed in the interim. This article is substantially better than the old version, and cites more than enough genuinely reliable sources to clear WP:GNG whether you personally care about the topic or not. Bearcat (talk) 14:47, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep per above, it seems there is a group of people hellbent on removing everything related to a certain subgenre of entertainment. Ikjbagl (talk) 23:51, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep As a participant in WP:RuPaul's Drag Race, I can't help but read above that there is an assumption by some that I am an automatic "keep" vote on AfD discussions for pages related to RuPaul's Drag Race or that I can depended upon to reply "Yeah, me too!" when pinged by another member of that WP. Neither of those is true, and I would like to think I am more impartial than that. However, in this case, I do agree that the page should be kept. The reasons for a speedy deletion simply do not hold up in my view as the current page is not a simple recreation of the deleted page, as described by Bearcat above. I might agree that there were elements of fancruft on the page (and, to be fair, some of it was added by me), but I believe this edit and this edit by Nikki311 did a good job of removing a lot of that as unsourced trivia, and rightly so. What remains now is solidly sourced and relevant Wiki page, and I don't agree that the topic is not notable outside the realm of RuPaul's Drag Race. I strongly believe this page should be kept. Yompi20 (talk) 17:09, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep per Bearcat. The present version of this page more than passes muster for being "substantially different" from the previously deleted version, most notably due to the significant increase in breadth and quality of sources, additional context, and substantive expansion of the prose. It does not even come close to meeting WP:G4 or other speedy deletion criteria. The present article is sourced with reputable, well known WP:RS, including TV Guide, Mic, Vulture, The Atlantic, The Guardian, HuffPost and Gay Times. If there is still doubt about whether the subject meets WP:GNG, why not just expand the article with academic literature about Snatch Game? A superficial Google Scholar search turns up numerous mentions of the subject in peer-reviewed journals, including this article, which focuses specifically on Snatch Game—not even on Drag Race in general. Other such articles (e.g. this one) reference and contextualize the segment. I don't have time to do content work right now, but I'm happy to provide access to sources behind a paywall for anyone who would like to expand this article. Armadillopteryxtalk20:08, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to RuPaul's Drag Race. While the article is better referenced than before this is still just a segment on a game show and should be covered in the article about that game show. Giving it its own article seems to be overcoverage bordering on fancruft. The merged coverage should focus on describing the format, not on all the individual contestants in detail. Saying who won as part of the text would be OK but the tables should not be merged. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:35, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, on the basis of dedicated improvements. As I suggested during the previous AfD, if recurring segments from Saturday Night Live or The Simpsons can pass the inclusion test, then Snatch Game seems equally worthy. — HipLibrarianshiptalk23:55, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As another user stated, this is a reoccurring segment on RPDR with "notable people impersonating other notable people." It has been covered in depth by RS, including academic literature. It's not just an episode on a show; it spans many seasons of RPDR and multiple seasons of All Stars and Drag Race Thailand. With RuPaul's Drag Race UK starting in 2019, it will presumably be a part of the competition there as well, bringing the show total to four. --Kbabej (talk) 23:11, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as per users above. The article is clearly different from the previous version and has a greater number of sources and citations in addition to this (as stated above) the segment has appeared across the whole RPDR franchise. ECW03 (talk) 09:49, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: One may personally despise pop culture stuff like this, but sources show it is a notable topic sufficient to merit an article. I would consider a merge discussion in 50 years when I would expect the topic will be of reduced interest. Also, if that discussion occurs in 2069, please notify me, if I'm still alive I'd love to comment.--Milowent • hasspoken14:19, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This was previously a redirect to Narcissistic personality disorder, but was converted into a disambiguation page a few days ago. I reverted to the redirect but the creator restored it, so I'm taking it here to ask what should be done.
I think it's really unnecessary: Megalomania redirects to NPD, which does discuss it a bit. Megalomania (disambiguation) is a much more useful disambiguation page. This one isn't really a disambiguation page at all: it offers a definition of or reflection on the meaning of "megalomaniacal", with links to somewhat related concepts like Fantasy (psychology), wealth, and grandiose, but doesn't distinguish between ambiguous article titles; as far as I can tell, there's nothing to distinguish.
My !vote is to redirect again, back to NPD, or else possibly to merge into the main Megalomania disambiguation page, if there's really any disambiguation to be made here. Cheers, gnu5709:42, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a one line addition (given the lack of any reliable sources to bulk it up). It does no harm to keep in (it's not exactly contentious or, now, advertorial) but any more would be. It's a bit odd as a redirect phrasing, so I'd go for delete.

You'd need to find a couple of suitable sources (in-depth, secondary, independent and reliable) that discussed the organisation itself (not general fields it works on). Neither Barkeep or myself have been able to find them, but if you do we'll both look at them (either add them to the article and post here, or post them here)

This topic seems to fall short of the notability guidelines. The TyneTees Express is a proposed railway service from a no longer accesilbe policy document produced for a defunct local government organisation in the late 2000s. I've no reason to doubt the truthfulness that the idea was mooted in this report, and it is mentioned in passing here by another group. However, the initial report (were it findable!) is not an independent source, and no other coverage seems to come close being "Significant coverage [which] addresses the topic directly and in detail".
It is also worth noting that an alternative railway service between the cities involved, not running along the route described here or using the name TyneTees Express, is due to be launched in December 2019 under the Northern Connect scheme.
Comment - It's mentioned in a few books. But one of them is a bus service with the same name. I would lean towards a keep possibly. Surely it must be recorded in some council ore local government newsletters and publications. Karl Twist (talk) 12:14, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This appears only ever to have been a proposal for a train route. I've searched many .gov.uk websites for details, and have found very few mentions; none that confer any notability in my view. Had I felt there was a possibility, I might have added them to the article. But they are here for tohers to check: 1; 2 p.53; 3 para 9.16; 4 p33; 5 p 84. Nothing found in Google News, though admittedly this would have been in papers c 2001 to 2006, so less likely to be findable nowadays. It's possible that Transport in Tyne and Wear could be develped with a 'failed proposals' section, in which this could be mentioned and a WP:REDIRECT created, but otherwise I see no future for this article.

Removed PROD. This is not even a road, but just an intersection. No claim of notability. No refs to demonstrate in-depth coverage in RS. MB03:51, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
DeleteComment While being an intersection is not inherently non-notable (see Times Square in NYC or Dupont Circle in D.C.), there are no RS's I could find that indicate this is notable, although perhaps Wikipedians living in India could find better sources than I could in the US. John M Wolfson (talk) 04:01, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The Circle is the site of notable landmarks. There is a well known statue of Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV there, after whom it was named. The repair of this feature was a substantial news item in The Hindu. It is listed in multiple guide books, eg [16]. One corner of Mysore Palace and two of its boundary roads meet the Circle. In an article about police using PA systems to harangue traffic violaters in all the major circles, the Star of Mysore describes K.R. Circle as a "prominent landmark" of the city. And just to add my two cents on the idea that intersections are not notable, just off the top of my head, just in London, there is Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Seven Dials, Parliament Square, and Angel, Islington. Surprisingly, Oxford Circus is a redirect, but take a look at Category:Road junctions in London for the full list. In India, The Hindu thinks these sort of road junctions are notable enough to have a series of articles on "The story of circles". SpinningSpark15:32, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
CommentThe Hindu article is about the statue and makes passing mention of the Circle, mention in guidebooks is not in-depth coverage, the news article on police PA systems makes another passing mention. The fact that the article says the circle is a "prominent landmark" does not make it notable to WP without WP:SIGCOV, nor is the fact that there are other notable intersections. "The story of circles" article may contribute to the notablility of traffic circles in India, but not to every one it mentions in passing. MB17:35, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have to take issue with MB for ruling out sources on the statue in KR Circle not adding to notability of the circle. City roads are rarely, if ever, notable as plain roads, rather they are notable because of the things in them. There are more than enough landmarks to justify an overview article. Besides the the statue and the palace I mentioned above, KR Circle contains Devaraja Market, for which we do not have a separate article, but has some coverage in sources, maybe even outright notable; Vegetable and Milk Marketing in Developing Countries talks about it for several pages and says it "is the most important buying place". Also has some coverage in People, Space & Economy of an Indian City. It also gets a lot of news coverage, particularly the conservation/demolition debate of this 130-year-old building; The Hindu, Star of Mysore, Times of India.

Weak Keep, looking over sources there are three books (two published by Tuttle Publishing (1, 2) and one by Crowood), all the books give significant coverage to the organization. As for news sources, the subject only received passing mention in this CNN article, and this Philippine Daily Inquirer article. Based on the under 7k hits on Google when looking up the subject, and the little to no news of the subject (current or historic), I had placed the notability tag on the article. That said, based on the significant coverage contained in these three obscure books, I cannot currently support deletion, but must due to WP:SIGCOV support keeping this article.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 03:46, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Second nomination for deletion. The article was previously speedy deleted under G5 since it had been created by a sock operator. Yet again an article creator has failed to establish organisation's notability. There is virtually no independent coverage of this four-year old award from the media. My research has led me mostly to stuff like this, which merely points out that a series, Ishqbaaaz "recently bagged an array of awards at the Asian Viewers Television Awards 2017 (AVTA 2017), which honours the best of Asian Television." Not in depth at all. Or this, which says "Meanwhile, Ishqbaaaz, which has been winning hearts across the globe, recently bagged an array of awards at the Asian Viewers Television Awards 2017 (AVTA 2017), which honours the best of Asian Television." Whoa, that's the same thing! Or this, "Not only this he even won the Male Actor Award of The Year at The Asian Viewers Television Awards (AVTA) 2018 for Bepannaah." Independent news outlets seem to be reporting superficially on the award, just regurgitating whatever press release content has been sent out.
The closest we get to in-depth coverage are some articles from BizAsia, a press release site that also happens to be the "online partner" of the award, which would not qualify as independent. Like many other awards, this award is being used to fluff up various actors and TV shows.
Award appears to be web-based and solicits votes online. Even if this were a notable entity, it would seem their methodology for getting votes would be open to serious skew via vote stuffing. If our film and TV communities don't accept IMDb user ratings or Rotten Tomatoes user ratings as valid because they can be manipulated by bots and such, I don't see how AVTA would be any better. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:32, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Commenting. I'm tempted to argue for keeping it, as awards are subject to WP:GNG, not WP:CORPDEPTH. Not all the coverage is in BizAsia, as various reliable sources listed below dedicate a significant portion of their content to the ATVA. Sure, some include an official website link, but practically all online publications do that nowadays, even if just as a hyperlink hidden in the content. I don't believe that is a damning sign of promotionalism. On another note, considering it is explicitly called a "viewers" award, I think arguing for its deletion on the grounds that it is voted on by viewers seems roundabout. An openly viewer/fan-selected award is not the same as an award that downplays that it can't afford or find reputable judges. And on another side note, even if the award isn't relevant or notable enough to use help prove notability for biographies being tested for GNG, that doesn't mean it can't exist in its own space as well, also per GNG. The matters are unrelated. MidwestSalamander (talk) 14:04, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@MidwestSalamander: I appreciate your different opinion. I must point out that only one of those links you've provided talks about the award in detail, and none tell us much about it. Who runs it? Is there a board of directors? How was the award established? When was it established? Significant coverage of the subject is what GNG wants. If I were a marketing person and I passed a press release to a hungry entertainment desk, the links you provided are the sorts of regurgitations I'd expect to see. "Hey, Harshad Chopda was nominated for the Cyphoidbomb Awards again. Print it." The award itself should have to be the focus of the article subject, where here we mostly have actors being nominated or winning the award as the focus. The award itself is secondary. Other counter-point, this is an organisation and possibly a corporation. Not sure why WP:CORP wouldn't apply; this is an entity that is doing business of some kind.

Delete. The only independent RS is the Huffington Post whose article is not about C Magazine, it is about Katie Holmes and what she said in her interview in C. The article is also a bit spammy. SpinningSpark16:17, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's been around for some five years. The L.A. Times called it "a glossy lifestyle publication" based in Santa Monica. Its P.R. department should get busy trying to get it written up in a reliable source instead of pushing it onto Wikipedia before it becomes really well-known. That said, it warrants an article in WP, but the present article should be cleansed of puff and made thinner until it gets more notice by WP:Reliable sources, which I propose to do. Sincerely, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 17:54, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As Spinningspark notes, existence is not notability. It's good that the article has been cleared of puffery, but the result just makes it clear that the magazine is not (yet) notable. If reliable sources provide more coverage in the future, the article can be revived. --RL0919 (talk) 16:55, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Arguments that the outline is redundant to the article and category carry the day. Yes, outlines are a legit kind of article but redundancy (more precisely: content forking) is also a valid reason for deletion per the deletion policy. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:59, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is a link collection stripped of actual content and information found in article for Florence. It is therefore just a content fork that does not impart much useful information. An attempt to redirect it to the actual article was reverted so bringing for deletion discussion. Legacypac (talk) 05:10, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (just like most outlines). The purpose of this page is much better served by on the one hand the article Florence, and on the other hand the Category:Florence, which isn't static but up-to-date (or at least more up-to-date). For example the outline lists 2 streets, the relevant category lists 4: the outline lists one hospital, the relevant category lists 5 of those. Fram (talk) 08:27, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There has been years of pushback against his mass creation of outlines. I can dig up deletions of outlines from just this month - and so can you. Just check his talkpage notices. This editor should be fully page creation topic banned for creating thousands of low quality useless pages and then failing to clean up his messes. Legacypac (talk) 16:32, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is merely Florence with the context stripped out and unnecessarily duplicative of the category as well. TTH also wrote WP:OUTLINE, and it is circular reasoning that his own pages are justified by his own information page. Reywas92Talk17:52, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There's absolutely nothing wrong with outlines and I fear this is going to be the next step in the great war of deletion, since every single vote here is WP:ILIKEIT versus WP:IDONTLIKEIT, and AfC is not an RfC. Categories aren't really meant for readers, there's too much information here for a template, and this is a useful collection of links related to an important topic. SportingFlyerT·C03:46, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's not what's actually going on here, though - the outline contains a number of links that are not included in the Florence article, and categories aren't well suited for navigational purposes. As a result, it's not actually redundant or even a true "content fork" as it contains more navigational information to topics than can be found in the Florence article. SportingFlyerT·C10:59, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"categories aren't well suited for navigational purposes."? That's a new one. It's much easier to navigate through the subcategories for Florence than to find something in this outline. Would a museum be included in "History" or "Culture"? I would guess "culture". Oops, "History" it is then? Oops again, WTF, "museums" are part of the "geography" section, right... Now, in the category, you go to "culture", and there you get "museums". Or you go to "Buildings and structures in Florence" and find it there as well. Of course, in a category tree, you can place things which logically belong in two or three groups in all of them. Fram (talk) 11:53, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Genuinely useful links that are not included in the Florence article should be added to it by merging this outline. This is the fundamental problem with outlines - if they contain the same links they're duplicates, if they contain different content they become forks. Either way they cause confusion as readers have to trawl through two articles instead of one. They don't aid navigation because the infobox and table of contents in the main article already provide convenient access to information.----Pontificalibus08:48, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Per Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates: "Many users prefer to browse Wikipedia through its lists, while others prefer to navigate by category; and lists are more obvious to beginners, who may not discover the category system right away. Therefore, the "category camp" should not delete or dismantle Wikipedia's lists, and the "list camp" shouldn't tear down Wikipedia's category system—doing so wastes valuable resources. Instead, each should be used to update the other." There's no actual deletion rationale here, and adding all of these links to the primary article wouldn't necessarily be conducive to navigation. SportingFlyerT·C09:12, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's very incorrect. Outlines are lists. Your link shows outlines are not lists of items. And in any case, there's still no good deletion rationale that's been shown here, as it's not an unnecessarily duplicative content fork. I'd be inclined to vote delete if the outline were smaller or the topic wasn't large enough to have an outline on. I'd recommend an RfC if there truly is a problem with outlines as a whole. Furthermore, feminist un-redirected the outline with the comment "Outlines are fine, take this to AfD..." and Cote d'Azur, a prominent contributor to the article, has thanked me for two edits on this page without !voting. I've used noping so to not canvass, but I don't think this as snowy of a delete as it currently seems. SportingFlyerT·C23:27, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'd love to hear how it's both fallacious and relevant to this deletion discussion in general, considering a "list of items" on Wikipedia is defined as "List of x in y," whereas outlines are lists that can contain "lists of items" but are themselves lists of general consequence.

I realize we permit non-english language sources, but every source on this page is in Hebrew. Granted I am a bit of a deletionist, but I see nothing in this page that suggests this person is notable. NYC.Geek (talk) 16:45, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now - It is a borderline case though, but the article has secondary sources from some major publications. However, the subject of the article has not been in the media more recently so it would be worth watching. Incidentally the article itself has been nominated by NYC.Geek, as an apparent response to an editor's questions about his use of sockpuppets and potential conflict of interest with an article on Steven Strauss he had created. Avaya1 (talk) 17:06, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete While my Hebrew ability is paltry (the first source only says “16 year old Tanya Filovitz and 19-year-old Noam Frost, who were among Xnet's promising models last year.”; the second source does nothing—it’s just an assortment of landscape photos!!! The third source is an interview about her dream jobs and role models... not what she has done. And the 4th just has a picture of her at a beach. Useless. 5th doesn’t even mention her at all. ), what I could find in English does nothing to contribute to notability. Not even the godforsaken Fashion Model Directory has anything at all to offer besides her existence. The notability template is accurate here. Trillfendi (talk) 15:35, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like clear violation of WP:N and WP:RS. Many of the links are dead or very outdated. None demonstrate particular notability. Already AFD'ed once with no objection. Wknight94talk18:52, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The references provided with this 10 year old article are definitely a problem. But deep googling his name reveals--in addition to lots of small time, insignificant coverage and self-downloads-- at least some RS indication of long-term recognition in both his home town and the larger gay community. (An independent documentary on his career has been produced, but I can't determine if it's significant or little more than a You Tube post. Strange.) His website additionally chronicles press recognition that doesn't turn up by googling. Much of it is junk, but perhaps enough of them are good enough to merit notability. I'm not familiar enough with gay press/RS's to weigh in fairly, but I think some digging is required to give this AfD a fair hearing. ShelbyMarion (talk) 20:55, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Falls short of WP:PROF with no evidence of awards, memberships, etc. to satisfy criteria 2-7. For criteria 1, the citation statistics fall short of "either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates" (WP:PROF#C1): Scopus (17, 14, 7, 5, 2, 1), Web of Science (1, 1, 1), and Google Scholar (235, 174, 53, 51, 49, 40, 18, 13, 12, ...). Also failed to find evidence of passing WP:GNG. Additionally, there are some COI issues as the article was evidently created by the subject's husband (not particularly important for notability though). — MarkH21 (talk) 08:55, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. She seems to pass WP:AUTHOR at least. For a humanities scholar in a niche field she is relatively highly cited (per Google Scholar), and as a full professor she is clearly a well established academic, so I'm inclined to believe she passes WP:PROF as well. --Tataral (talk) 15:39, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:AUTHOR by way of multiple reviews of multiple books. In the humanities (as in law and pure mathematics, to name a couple other fields), Google Scholar counts are typically unilluminating. Given Raphals' field, reviews are the first place I'd look for a pass of WP:PROF#C1. I think that she succeeds on that, as well. I suppose that the COI could be an issue in principle, but given the respectable academic-bio-stub nature of the current article, it doesn't seem to have mattered in practice. XOR'easter (talk) 16:20, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is correct that low citations in Google Scholar generally don't mean much in the humanities. Which is also why her citation counts are particularly strong for her field. 235, 174 for her most widely cited works is quite high for books in a niche humanities field, and in itself enough to pass WP:PROF in my opinion. --Tataral (talk) 16:31, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The single UK government source for this article (deleted for some reason in 2015) merely says that she was one of nearly 200 winners of the award that year. That's not enough, searching for matching information finds nothing relevant with any more detail, and with so little information there's no way to tell whether anyone else with a similar name who might have actually done something notable is really the same person. I'm not always against permastubs in general, but this one is no use. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:58, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I will repeat what I said in the Pauline Barrett AfD: I don't see why the award would not qualify for WP:ANYBIO - it's a national award, not a local one, and there were 10 recipients of that award each year, in a population of about 60 million overall. Assuming that about 3/4 of the population were aged 20+, the award was given to 10 in 45,000,000 people, or 2.22%, which is surely notable. (David Eppstein, where do you find 200 winners in one year? The WP article about the award lists a total of 110 from 2005-2015.) Apart from that award, I will look for sources on this subject, and come back to !vote. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:24, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Not convinced that the Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion is a "well-known and significant award or honor" per WP:ANYBIO. No evidence of passing WP:GNG or other notability guidelines either. — MarkH21 (talk) 18:07, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article reads "His projects to date have an aggregate value of more than $3 billion." I assume he'd get coverage in business publications for that achievement. At http://www.fox35orlando.com/news/local-news/possible-ancient-remains-could-halt-multi-million-dollar-homes I see them refer to him as "Famed Central Florida developer Chuck Whittall, known for projects like the Orlando Eye,". The Orlando Eye is a notable enough to have its own Wikipedia article and gets coverage, but doesn't seem to be a major landmark. Anyway, multiple independent news sources do to give him coverage for his achievements. DreamFocus19:57, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete I'm not seeing coverage of Whitall, beyond the appelation that DreamFocus found which I admit is certainly important, which suggests notability. Instead it seems like his development company is what is notable - this is reflected in the article which basically just recaps developmetns he's done. Large sections of this BLP are seemingly unsourced which would also be far less of an issue if it were about the company instead. It seems to me that there's something notable to be had here but this particular formulation isn't it. Best, Barkeep49 (talk)
Delete. I don't think WP:ANYBIO counts here (there's certainly not enough of a demonstrable legacy for prong 2 to demonstrate an 'enduring' record) and I don't think GNG gets covered either with regards to significant non-local coverage (the Fox article Dream linked isn't really about the subject or even the development so much as the archeological site discovered by the aforementioned.) Feels like a WP:TOOSOON case. Barkeep's suggestion is an interesting one but I haven't looked into the reliability of the company as separate.

CommentRedirect to Falling in Reverse: Radke sounds like he is trying to rewrite his band's history – according to Radke's own words in this article in The Dallas Observer[19] Schoeffler WAS in the band at the beginning, even if only briefly. I don't think a tweet from the lead singer should be taken as proof that Schoeffler never played in Falling in Reverse. And more to the point, Schoeffler is credited on the band's debut album, so for Radke to say that he never played with him is demonstrably untrue. Richard3120 (talk) 17:09, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep while an obscure minor league Ghanaian team, and not one that has been updated since the article's creation in 2013, they play in the Ghana FA cup and also receive coverage from Ghanaian media. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Real Sportive played in the Ghanaian Premier League from 2004 until their relegation in 2008. Article from 2004: [28] and another sample article [29] Absolute keep there, I will try and flesh out that article. There's a bunch of articles on Venomous Vipers as well [30][31][32] and this is a passing mention but a great passing mention if you like humour: [33]. SportingFlyerT·C08:30, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Got sucked into Venomous Vipers as well. They played top flight football for a number of years, the article just needed editing. There's even a short story written about them from 1965. SportingFlyerT·C09:01, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment@SportingFlyer: Oh well it seems like it was misunderstand on my part and I didn't really look hard enough. This is mainly because I thought they hadn't been competing in the Ghanian Premier League. I will be happy to withdraw this nomination from these three teams. Matt294069 (talk) 10:46, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Matt294069: No worries! Information on African teams can be hard to find, for instance Ghana has had a robust print media scene that covers football well but it doesn't always make its way online, and these articles desperately needed improvement. SportingFlyerT·C10:51, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Needs help from an uninvolved Russian-speaking editor. All sources are in the Russian (or possibly Ukrainian) language. Does being a Hero of the Soviet Union (if that is accurate) automatically make a person notable? Because that's all there is. — Arthur Rubin(talk)04:48, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This should be a Wiktionary entry and as the nominator says, worth perhaps a passing mention in another article. Mccapra (talk) 04:30, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I came to this AFD thinking I'd likely vote keep or Merge, but WP:BEFORE shows this to basically just be a describing-term that is applied to pretty much anything. It is not really a specific style of music, or at the very least I did not see evidence of it being described as such in the GBook hits I reviewed, where instead it was applied to a range of different styles (e.g., Gospel, Folk) as a modifier. As such this falls under WP:NOTDICTIONARY. FOARP (talk) 08:07, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete My searches show that it has been used to describe meetings [34] - so it is behaving as any adjective does, with a range of uses and extensions of its original meaning. If it's not in Wiktionary, it should be. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:58, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Microsoft is of such a size that any insert to the top level item risks disruption and we also need to avoid WP:SURPRISE.. Something like Microsoft engineering groups might be a better redirect target but equally be totally incorrect. A redirect must avoid WP:SURPRISE while the target but be acceptable to the target article with any changes required being of WP:UNDUE weight and not being disruptional to the target.Djm-leighpark (talk) 10:21, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be a working artist/filmmaker/academic with multiple notable films and film credits. Maybe not famous but not run-of-the-mill either. As or more notable than many others on the connected pages.

Delete Agreed. The list is just chaotic and really doesn't provide any useful or helpful information regarding the bus lines. 201020132015hawks (talk) 02:55, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete on WP:TNT/WP:GNG grounds (as currently unsourced). I strongly contest WP:NOTTRAVEL, as there is absolutely nothing in this article which would be of any use to anyone attempting to navigate the city of Dublin, but I agree it shouldn't be in the encyclopedia as it stands. SportingFlyerT·C11:02, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. There's a valid deletion argument presented, but it's hard to see the signal for the noise. "Currently unsourced" is not remotely a deletion rationale, and the nominator should have stopped typing after their second comma as the rest of their comment is completely irrelevant here. Please try harder to comply with deletion and editing policy, by focusing just on the content's potential rather than just what you're seeing in the page's current version.
One consideration may be whether any of this information should be summarized/condensed/retained in the parent article Dublin Bus, as the route section there is just a link to this page. The page title may be redirected as well, though it is miscapitalized. There is also Category:Dublin Bus routes that should be listed at CFD as it has no true content apart from this list. postdlf (talk) 14:07, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. Sources cited do not suggest significant coverage of the subject. They include, among other dubious pieces, his LinkedIn page. Candidates for office who lose do not meet NPOL. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:24, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Surprised to find this bit from The New York Times in 1985 wasn't mentioned in the article, given its unseemly willingness to cite anything at all: [42]. Bakazaka (talk) 04:20, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-winning candidates for office do not clear WP:NPOL just for being candidates — to be notable enough for an article, he would need to be shown as either (a) having had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him an article anyway (i.e. Cynthia Nixon is not losing her article just because she lost when she ran for political office, because she was already notable as an actress), or (b) having received so much more coverage than every candidate in every election always gets that he's got a credible claim to being a special case. This clears neither of those bars: it depends far too heavily on primary sources rather than reliable ones, and the stuff that is actually real media is mostly not about him — it comprises glancing namechecks of his existence as a giver of soundbite in (or the bylined author of) coverage of other things or people, or completely tangential verification of stray facts that doesn't even mention his name at all in conjunction with them. (Never mind the one source that's headlined "Meet 'Dr. Rad,' the first Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in Georgia" in our footnote, but actually leads to an article whose actual headline is "#Clusterfest: Show us your pics".) Which leaves us with just a small smattering of campaign coverage not even slightly different than what every candidate can always show, which is not how you make a candidate notable enough for an article.
