Important Update regarding Corey Lee Wilson:

I was able to locate and add two important links:

1) His membership in the National Writers Union (the first link come back as broken, but if you click: [3] then "Find a writer" and put the name of the author "Corey Wilson", it will show these results: Wilson, Corey Corona CA Labor / Workers Issues, Politics and Government Academic Writing and Editing, Features Writing, Magazine Writing, Newspaper Writing, Public Speaking, Script Writing

2) A PDF file to the Laurel magazine of Phi Kappa Tau about Shider Award in 1985:[4]

I hope these two links will help to reconsider the deletion and prove more notability. For at least you can leave a Notice for more citations at this time. RossK 19:36, 30 May 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ross kramerov (talk • contribs)

Comment. Removed the SAPIENT Being part and civil activity so it won't look like a PROMO (this is the last thing we need here).

I will upload more links later tonight to solidify the article with more sources of informationRossK 21:06, 30 May 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ross kramerov (talk • contribs)

Comment. Added one more link to the Laurel Magazine of 1997 as a proof that the author indeed received the Shideler AwardRossK 18:36, 31 May 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ross kramerov (talk • contribs)

Ross kramerov I think you need a crash course in reliable sources and notability because this article is pretty much the exact opposite of this. A non-notable award is meaningless. Google drive is not a source. IMDB is not a source. The rest are not valid sources to establish any form of notability. Please also condense your comments and format them properly as it makes this AFD impossible to follow. Further trying to pass off the Shideler award as if it was for his writing is deceiving. It's not.Praxidicae (talk) 18:44, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae I never indicated that the Shideler Award was for his writing achievements but it is a part of Corey Biography. Instead, I put his list of publications. Question: Can the link to the Writer's Union count as a reliable one? If you put in search the author's name on the website, it appears there. I understand about IMDb and Google Drive - I just couldn't find anything else. Ross kramerov (talk)19:25, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Queerbaiting[edit]

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

I see some changes have been made to it since I posted on its talk page. But it still seems like a niche term that only a small group of activists use and isn't notable. The mere existence of the article is also POV, because it was created by said activists to spread influence for the word they created. It also had Unreliable Sources and Third Party issues, as most of the sources were said activists' own blogs and essays.

I believe the only way to make it a neutral article (and provide any noteworthiness) is to re-frame it as a discussion of the activists' opinions on the subject. Alas, the article is still using "Wikipedia's voice" to speak of this niche term as if it were a fact.

Subject does not meet WP:NHOCKEY.

Comment Thanks for the relisting. Living in the UK the concept of a notable law firm is something of a novelty to me, I don't know of any here and no idea of why I would/should. That said, the legal careers advice book the firm is listed in seems to be a case of "research x number of firms and print the research in a directory":

Delete press release, and minimal notability =a good cause for deletion. The infobox woulddo for the company's web page or advertisement--a list of the practice areas, which just happen to include every signifcant one except non-white-collar-criminal. Key people, lists all the board of directors.--and a number of the attorneys are listed by name in the first paragraph. Having a senator among its attorneys doesnt make the firm notable, much less having a former judge. DGG ( talk ) 04:24, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing added to page with WP:SIGCOV tracing the history of firms growth to dominant regional status. Notability of American law firms operating on this scale is demonstrated not only by the available sourcing, but by the number of pages that link to this page. It needs improvement, most of our pages do. but it meets WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:32, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware that has ever been an informal criterion. If it were , one could justify articles on people with very little intrinsic importance and no reliable sources. Something being mentioned in WP does not make it suitable for an article, because article content is not subject to any notability requirement. The place for such relationships to be included is Wikidata, which should have an entry for every law firm mentioned in WP.

E.M.Gregory, a question: I made some comments about the nature of the contents here do you regard the listings of fields of practice and of multiple non-notable attorneys as appropriate? If you do not, wouldn't it have been a stronger article if you had removed it, so my claim of deletion for promotionalism would not apply? (If you do think it appropriate, we're going to need a RfC on this, becauseI have been routinely removing such content from all organization articles) DGG ( talk ) 20:16, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. Done. Honestly, I hadn't even noticed the info in the Info Box. My thought on notability is that the major regional and national law firms are an extremely significant part of the power structure of American society, and, therefore, we ought to provide at least basic information about them. The Florida press spilled a lot of ink over the activities of partner George LeMieux, I did not attempt to untangle it, but the interplay of power, money and politics in re: this firm is there for anyone with the time and access to a good news archive and LexisNexis to read it and add to the page, or in need of a dissertation topic in Political Science. Oh, and, no, links are not a criterion. For me, however, they are an indicator that a subject at AfD merits a close look.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:32, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Those are trivial references (putting aside the Gawker blogpost which isn't remotely RS and merely describes the premise of a particular video). None of the cited works cover the company with any depth (actually they don't cover it at all). Two of them are quoting the exact same text (including the subject in a list of like porn providers) which simply describes a generically misogynistic porn plot (although plot might be an inexact term). The other references do the same but without any quoting. They're essentially being used as an example of what the author wishes to expound upon and I wouldn't consider them all RS either. ogenstein (talk) 10:36, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You and I have extremely different ideas of what should be considered depth to satisfy the GNG: "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material". The Miami New Times article [16] discusses an example of a scene production for the site, describes the general theme of the site comparing it to past themes in pornography, and discusses its founder and history. The local news site [17][18] discusses the same scene production in terms of its novelty and legality. Bangbus is a pioneer in Internet porn, and the website and its underlying theme is referred to again and again in those academic criticisms. Morbidthoughts (talk) 14:48, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Local news coverage of a strange but true story does not signify 'notable'. Think of the context of those stories you link to. It is of local interest so the local press works on a story. Where is the national attention? If this were the 'southfloridapedia', then this might be notable. Secondly, even this coverage is of an event. WP:NRV rejects 'short-term interest'. Miami New Times is a blog and is not an RS.

You should also remember the first three-quarters of the WP:GNG guideline you quote: 'Significant coverage addresses the topic directly and in detail…. [It is] more than a trivial mention…'.

Digby's book is 240 pages. The subject earns a trivial mention. But let's look at this against that WP:GNG guideline. The book is about sexuality and romance in a militaristic society [main topic]. The chapter (5) that mentions 'bangbus' is about masculinity and fantasy in society [subtopic] and as part of that subject, discusses pornography [sub-subtopic] and in the course of doing so, mentions 'bangbus' [trivial]. If you cited this work for any of the three levels of topics, I could support it. Not here though.

Re: Kimmel article… How does, "On sites such as slutbus, bangbus and bangboat…" constitute significant coverage? They're serving as a 'type'. Does saying that the site has trailers serve as in-depth discussion? If just visiting the site would provide more information then it's not significant.

I must also point out that numerous other people/orgs are mentioned in the article, e.g. playboy, girls gone wild, maxim, pamela anderson, larry flynt, etc…. Nobody would use this article as evidence that any of those entities were notable. These mentions are trivial. 'Bangbus' isn't any sort of a topic in any of the pieces, they're not even a footnote. See the Flynt or Mitchell brothers articles for examples of notable members of the pornographic business.

Please also see WP:WEBCRIT which gives examples of actual notable web sites (see [4]). WP:NWEB requires 'verifiable evidence that the web content has attracted the notice of reliable sources unrelated to the web content, its authors, or its owners.' All we have here is a token description of the content. WP:FAILN requires sources that 'provide in-depth information about the web content.' and suggests as an alternative to having its own page, perhaps merging it into something like 'list of internet phenomena' or delete. WP:WHYN requires significant coverage so as to write an encyclopedic article, not merely a few sentences. ogenstein (talk) 18:37, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to disagree. The geographic circulation of a source does not determine its notability. The notability requirements simply requires that the significant coverage come from reliable sources. WP:NWEB is not a limitation on the WP:GNG. There is enough content in the coverage to support paragraphs about its history, its theme, and criticism against the theme that it pioneered. Additional coverage about its history. [19] Morbidthoughts (talk) 22:41, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone's free to disagree. First, AVN is not RS. Second, it's not that NWEB is a limitation, it's that this subject does not meet GNG and NWEB provides an alternative recognition of notability (and umm… you raised it so I tried to address it).

Third, circulation is a factor in significance — if a newspaper falls in the forest…. WP:GEOSCOPE Every town has news. The national news cannot give space to every scrap of news from every town in the country. So national news is generally something significant to a broad range of people. If something rises up to the national level, then it will typically get coverage and become more notable. There are too many towns and cities in the world for us to know let alone care about everything that happens in each of them. Finally, an encyclopedia is supposed to summarize what's written elsewhere, not copy it wholesale. With the sources that are legitimate, it will be more likely that every single word will be required but still only result in a stub of an article. I don't think the site warrants mention in the article on pornography (and it isn't mentioned). If you find more sources I'll look at them but I feel stronger about my opinion now than when I began digging into this. ogenstein (talk) 00:26, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GEOSCOPE only applies to the scope of events; not the scope of the sources. A limited geographical area may have a limited number of reliable sources, but that is not the same thing as arguing the scope of the sources limits the notability of the subject.[20][21][22] Morbidthoughts (talk) 04:44, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I'd characterize it that way; I think it addresses both. I've highlighted a couple of portions. Note that it suggests that even national coverage isn't a guarantee of notability.

An event affecting a local area and reported only by the media within the immediate region may not necessarily be notable. Coverage of an event nationally or internationally may make notability more likely, but such coverage should not be the sole basis for creating an article. However, events that have a demonstrable long-term impact on a significant region of the world or a significant widespread societal group are presumed to be notable enough for an article.

I read through the first two of the links you provided (I'll get to the other later) and I feel that they actually add to my arguments. I didn't even bring up that the Local10 reports are primary sources… Not only are they not analysing a story, or even just reporting on a story, they're actually making the news here. Not saying they shouldn't have done so, only that it factors into claims of notability — really, they're just talking about something novel and inexplicable that happened one day. Nobody else cared even that much. And just to elaborate, I doubt that anyone a decade or a century from now would care about this (or beyond yourself, even right now :). As more than ten years have passed, we know that with certainty. I don't think that the subject has changed anything meaningfully even within their niche of a niche. Earlier I pointed out two pages which demonstrate a significance to that industry which dwarfs the subject's. If you look at the SF Examiner article cited on the Mitchell brothers page in note [7] you'll see what I mean. The dearth of material on this subject in comparison shows that clearly. ogenstein (talk) 18:58, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Again you are trying to apply a limitation on the notability of events to evaluate the significance of the sources and your argument also goes against WP:NTEMP. Morbidthoughts (talk) 02:23, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@TheLongTone:, thank you for raising that! I attempted to populate both articles (on 100 and 200 metres record progression) with references to sources and hope that addresses your concern. Being the author of the same topics in Ukrainian Wikipedia, I would like to note that, unfortunately, there are no English-language sources relating to the subject of the articles in question. I listed the available sources, all in Ukrainian, in the articles. On a related point, I believe that both Ukraine-related lists appear to be now no worse than, for example, those relating to progression of Italian records. Best regards, Andrii Grebonkin (talk) 15:40, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect both Personally the page for both of these isn't really necessary as I feel like it is just something that should fall under WP:NOTSTATS. I do understand it being allowed on the Ukrainian Wikipedia as Ukrainian is only really spoken in Ukraine. But I would say this is like creating an American progression bar of a record (aka a useless fact that easily be explained in the national article) HawkAussie (talk) 00:14, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As progression articles go, this is quite complete. Someone (the editor's name is Andrii Grebonkin went through a lot of effort to compile this and if they continue, we will have a listing of historical data from this country, as we already do from others. I'm not naming names because the attitude of clueless deletionists would turn those into future AfD victims too. Each of those were largely created by one inspired editor who knew where to find the information. I've done countless record progressions myself. My point is you can stop this editor's efforts right now, discourage them from contributing and wikipedia will be sanitized of this terrible content. That was sarcasm. This is the beginning of exactly the kind of body of work that wikipedia should be proud to host. We will know a lot more from this poorly covered section of the world. I know of what I speak. I was badly burned in an AfD because of the difficulty of finding sources in former Soviet republics. The press stinks there. We've got someone with inside knowledge, who speaks Ukranian, finding and understanding sources. We should praise them for helping. Oh, a redirect would be a stupid, completely useless step. All that would do is excise all of this information. There is no way to save and present this information without either a separate page, which this is, or a template with the same content. Redirect is just a way to make this content disappear without using the word delete. Trackinfo (talk) 07:53, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect both: Per User:Ajf773. I don't see the need for these "stats" in a stand alone article either. I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade but the tear-jerking plea to "save our editors" by not deleting (or redirecting) their hard work is commendable but may be somewhat melodramatic. With that actual mentality we should never delete any article especially that "might" possibly have coverage out there somewhere. I am sorry if sourcing requirements get in the way of having some articles but it is part of our "Five pillars". Claims that deletion would "excise all of this information" is not accurate as it is covered in another version of Wikipedia. I don't agree that all information in all versions of Wikipedia needs to be duplicated in every single version otherwise why not just combine then all into one?

The first and third references here lack independence from the subject, and the second reference is to a twitter feed. There is no evidence here that the subject qualifies as notable. A Google News search turns up six hits, but some of these are not relevant and the others do not look like independent reliable sources: the first is to a curated set of lectures, not a review or other in-depth discussion about the lectures, and none of the other hits are related to this subject ("talking" and "practice" being two such routine words which happen to co-occur randomly a very few times on the Internet).

Merge WP:NOTINHERITED reminds us to look at the sourcing for this article on its own merits. In doing so, I see no evidence to support the claim that the world has paid attention to this podcast from a school in Boston. There are shockingly few results from google nor could I find coverage looking in other places. The nom has addressed the inadequacies of the sourcing present in the article now. The inclusion in the list from Architecture conveys no significant coverage that would grant notability. This is the an example of significant coverage of another podcast on that list which is notable. So instead we should have a line or two at Harvard Graduate School of Design as an alternative to deletion and to provide appropriate coverage for our readers.

Criteria: If a journal meets any (boldface emphasis original) of the following criteria, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources, it qualifies for a stand-alone article. If a journal meets none of these criteria, it may still qualify for a stand-alone article, if it meets the conditions of WP:Notability or other notability criteria. The merits of an article on the journal will depend largely on the extent to which the material is verifiable through third-party sources. However, see the remarks section below before applying this guidance. Criterion 1: The journal is considered by reliable sources to be influential in its subject area.

@ Dream Focus You're comparing apples and oranges. Read WP:LISTN and then think about the fact that these media articles talk only about specific local cases, not large groups of twins ranked by age, which is what is being done on Wikipedia. Newshunter12 (talk) 10:16, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your blanket statement is obviously false and shows that you do not understand how any of this works. Just because there is sporadic local coverage about old twins "over there" does not mean a list of oldest twins is suddenly notable "over here". To have a list like this on Wikipedia, there needs to be WP:SIGCOV reliable sources that LIST people in this same manor, but there aren't because this article is fancruft and not based on applicable coverage. Newshunter12 (talk) 14:29, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt its just local newspaper coverage, but state and national coverage at times as well. Anyway, it also gets coverage in books such as being a regular entry in Guinness World Records. Google book search for "oldest twins" "Guinness World Records" and you'll find different yearly editions covering that. Dream Focus 14:49, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I looked up the record in Guinness and while they do give out records for the oldest living male and female sets of twins, that does not prove your point, but mine. They have no LIST of oldest twins by age as far as I can tell, which is what would be necessary for this article to exist.

Delete This article fails WP:LISTN and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. It is just a WP:SYNTH of various news reports about random cases of old twins, but WP:RS, other then an old GRG table which does nothing to prove notability, don't group people in this format, so there is no justification that we should do so here on Wikipedia.

Keep subject easily meets WP:GNG - covered by many major news outlets. WP:NOTPAPER Lubbad85 (☎) 23:38, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@ Lubbad85 (☎) What major news outlets or other reliable sources publish long lists of oldest twins ranked by age? Only longevity fan sites do, hence why this article fails WP:LISTN. Newshunter12 (talk) 23:55, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sorry, but I can't see how anyone could possibly support the maintenance of an article that assumes a pair of twins who turned 100 in 2013 are still alive, and that calculates their age as of right now, and presumably would not allow for the removal of such persons without a source specifically verifying that one of them has died. This is such an obvious violation of so many Wikipedia policies (V, NOR, BLP...) that anyone seriously arguing that this content be kept (let alone speedily kept) should probably have their contributions thoroughly scrutinized by the community to ensure that they have not violated these policies elsewhere on the site. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 04:27, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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

The previous nomination already mentioned that the subject is not notable and that Wikipedia is not a memorial.

A common reason for wanting to keep the article was that they were notable simply because they were a victom of the 2005 Paris suburb riots and that more information would be added as the media obtained and released more information, however this obviously did not happen. The only citation on there even returns a 404 error now.

Some people supported merging it with 2005 French riots, however 2005 French riots#Murders of Jean-Claude Irvoas and Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec is already more exhaustive than the article.

It is also NUTS-3 region too: I have no idea what above wiki users are doing by recommending to delete without even searching what it is. This is non-professional.

- Being a NUTS division does not mean it should have a page. Your rationale appears to be an WP:INHERITED argument. In fact, as I stated above, GEOLAND says that it probably shouldn't have an article because the purpose of the NUTS divisions is primarily only for the gathering of statistics. NUTS divisions that also correspond to an official political or administrative boundary are going to be notable, but then they probably already have articles in which it can be mentioned that they are a NUTS division.

The article is about a neologism that has little or no usage in reliable sources. There are no reliable sources that mention the subject. Bacondrum (talk) 09:44, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are a number of reliable sources mentioning the subject and giving examples of it. The term was first used in The New York Times in 2009, was still being discussed in 2014, 2016. As they are discussing examples of the concept this goes beyond a pure WP:DICDEF. I did think about whether a merge with Clickbait might not be a better idea but they don't seem to be quite the same thing. FOARP (talk) 13:21, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources are all op-eds, they are unreliable sources in this context. Bacondrum (talk) 22:32, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Here's three books also referencing Kreider's definition in reasonable depth: 1 2 3. There's also this book that seems to be entirely about what it describes as "Outrage journalism" and "Outrage-based political media content" which appears to be an identical concept - however I don't have access to a complete copy of it though per WP:NEXIST all we need to know is that the sourcing likely exists. From what can be seen in the preview version available on Amazon, it offers a full definition of "Outrage journalism" and "outrage media".

Again, what matters is showing that the references exist. The present state of the article is not the deciding point as there is no deadline on Wiki. If you're tired, have a nap - Wiki will still be there tomorrow. FOARP (talk) 08:06, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, what matters is that it actually belongs here. As it stands this article is not an established terminology, or an encyclopedic subject and does not cite reliable sources. Improve it if you want. I am going to bed.

Sweet dreams. The present state of the article is not the deciding point at AFD. It is clearly possible for this article to contain a full definition, beyond a dictionary definition, of this term based on significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, and therefore it meets WP:GNG and does not fail WP:NOT.

Delete. Not an established terminology. Not an encyclopedic subject. Cited sources are poor or do not support statements. My very best wishes (talk) 02:41, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I actually thought this was a more popular term than it is. I've heard it used to describe "(Ideology X) CRINGE compilation" style videos on Youtube, but it seems like the definition is still being developed and is much broader than that. It's really just slang/neologism right now and doesn't seem deserving of an article. Pokerplayer513 (talk) 16:59, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per FOARP. There are a number of books and papers directly about this term. This nomination is very similar to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Call-out culture (2nd nomination), though the nominator wasn't quite so egregious about removing sources at this article before nominating for deletion. The term is related to many other articles like Milkshake Duck, online shaming, public shaming, cyberbullying, mobbing, mob justice, online boycott, and/or outrage culture and there is likely an argument to be made for a single article that describes each of these terms collectively instead of so many separate articles. But, until that merger happens, there is enough independent, reliable sources for outrage porn to be kept. In the most extreme case it could potentially be merged to one of the above links, but I don't think that is the appropriate outcome given the available sources. - Paul^T+/_C 04:09, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I did consider a merge to Moral panic but I'm not sure they're the same thing. Also a rename to "outrage media" or "outrage journalism" might be warranted - at least one of the references discusses these as being essentially the same phenomena and there seems to be at least some academic, qualitative and quantitative research around its prevalence (e.g., the work by Berry and Sobieraj at Tufts).

Keep. Article has sufficient WP:RS in the article to at least technically meet WP:GNG (which it does; I have added several more references to the article in this regard).

Moss Ball Pets[edit]

Keep I am a paid editor and I am a still a member of the Wikipedia community. There are many people who do not disclose their COI in the hopes of keeping their article posted. I have no issue with letting readers and editors know that I am a paid editor, instead of thinking of me as the advertising department for Moss Ball Pets (because I am not) try and remember that I am a person who is as interested in providing relevant and non promotional material for the use of the project.

- @Þjarkur: Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide is not a part of Wikipedia's guidelines for COI but it is meant to be used so that new editors have a better understanding of the regulations in place with COI editing. It would probably be in all editors best interest to review the actual Wikipedia guidelines as outlined on the COI page. Upon reviewing it, you'll find that not only am I allowed to make uncontroversial edits (again, see COI to understands what this constitutes) but I am also allowed to take at least five other measures to make necessary minor improvements that could potentially keep situations such as this from arising.
- You can view history on the Moss Ball Pets page to see how I and other editors have made continuous edits to preserve the article in its entirety while also removing any wording that could be seen as advertising or promotional in any manner. Shouldn't an editor's primary goal be to enhance the project through editing and not deletion?

Delete - I hope "Moss Ball Pets" one day achieve the notability of Pet Rocks or Sea-Monkeys, but even then, those articles focus on the phenomena or inventors of the concepts, not the company or individual who distributed it. Perhaps the author would consider creating an article on marimo balls as a phenomena. A quick search reveals dozens of companies promoting and distributing them.

The Moss Ball Pets article may be a work in progress but to delete it entirely is a step backwards.

    - Full disclosure the account 174.87.217.22 mentioned by Þjarkur was a post by me before I created my official account so no funny business is going on here. Also as part of my disclosure, as of yet this is the only article I have made edits on so far as I am well aware of Moss Ball Pets and the following they have in the House Plant and Pet community and truly believe the article has relevance. Maybe not for Þjarkur but for 10,000's of people in the United States who have joined the craze of the Moss Ball Pet. The company obviously did not invent the Marimo Ball but they have developed the concept of the "pet" and introduced it to the masses.

Comment - Due to unsigned comments, an IP address, and Hectic's comments, I'm now confused. As I look through this discussion, I see three keep !votes, but I believe they're all from Hecticlyrelaxed (who happens to be a new account that has only edited this article and the one on Marimo). Am I tracking this conversation right? Do we have three votes from an apparent COI (so really just one) to save the article, while every other editor has given valid reasons why this article should not exist?

-Above unsigned comment by Orville1974. -The Gnome (talk) 11:55, 1 June 2019 (UTC) [reply]

[Orville1974] You are not tracking it quite right. You have 3 Keep Votes, one from me when I had no account which is the IP Address you mentioned. And a second one from me as [Hecticlyrelaxed] which I thought was required as the status here went to relisted. I am obviously not aware of the procedures here and I do apologize for that. So the third Keep vote has no association with me although I do agree with their sentiments obviously as a supporter of this article. Yes, I have only made edits on the [Moss Ball Pets] and [Marimo] page to date.

Tierra.watkins created the article on 10 April, and the IP edited it in less than 48 hours later. Given 180 total pageviews in this time frame and most of them being from creator, new page patrollers and recent changes reviewers, it seems highly unlikely that the page would have randomly ended up on an uninvolved and inactive (only 2 edits before that) IP's screen.

Delete or merge. If the article is about the company, it's clearly delete - no reliable refs. If it's about the species Aegagropila linnaei - it's a well developed article, with a small section at the end saying approx. "some folks in Japan sell these." Adding "and somebody in the US now sells these" (and not much more) shouldn't be a problem. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 20:52, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete nothing even worth merging in this promotional article by a coi editor. The reason we are somewhat skeptical about article writing by coi editors is shown clearly by the discussion above, where the editor tries to say that this is notable because pet rock is notable. Making this sort of absurd comparisons is in my experience almost always a sign of COI--it can actually be said by them in good faith--with enough coi, the comparison seems to make sense.

Comment: Autobiographies is not necessarily a reason for deletion. If the subject both fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO, it may be deleted.--94rain ^Talk 01:53, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I wrote the article. I believe it satisfies WP:GNG and WP:BIO (in particular WP:BASIC but also if he is considered to be WP:ACADEMIC then the criteria I believe he satisfies there is "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.") The article has multiple independent reliable sources with sustained coverage of the subject, from Australian Broadcasting Corporation and a number from the BBC. The Irish Independent source says Good "is regarded as a world expert on alien phenomena." The BBC sources say "Timothy Good is considered one of the world's leading experts on the UFO phenomenon" / "Timothy Good is recognised as one of the world's leading authorities in the UFO phenomenon and has given lectures and interviews on television and radio all around the world" and "Timothy has written numerous best-selling books on UFOs and aliens ... and has acted as a consultant to several US Congress investigations into the phenomenon." -Lopifalko (talk) 07:02, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ~~conditionally~~ Doing some research I see that the U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command considers him notabable enough to list on their official Unidentified Flying Objects Research Guide as a "Selected Published Source" for researchers, which is meaningful in my opinion. However, in six months if it is still a basic Stub class biography with no expanded sourced material to qualify as a Start class, then delete would be appropriate. Start class is "An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete." 5Q5 (talk) 12:13, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Also see my additional comment and update below. 5Q5 (talk) 16:57, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Changing my input from Keep conditionally to a full Keep. When this article was nominated it contained just 109 words or so excluding references and was graded a Stub-class article on the talk page. It has since expanded (partly by me and mostly by the article's creator) to over four times that size and I now feel it qualifies with the inclusion of a mainstream media outlet (the BBC) calling him an international expert in his field and the article has at least has upgraded to a Start class. 5Q5 (talk) 12:28, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:FRINGEBLP applies here. At first glance, the sources seem reasonable. However, upon close examination they treat the subject with a WP:SENSATIONAL angle (Example: [28]). If reliable sources merely sensationalize and don't bother to critically examine and evaluate Good's fringe claims (aliens briefed George Washington, secret bases under the ocean, conspiracy by world governments, malevolent aliens vs good aliens, etc) then we have no serious source material from which to write an objective biography. - LuckyLouie (talk) 16:47, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. The claims in major media that he is a recognized expert on certain fringe topics would seem on its face to be enough for notability, but (per FRINGEBLP as cited above and per WP:NPOV) we also need sources that directly respond to his fringe views and provide a neutral mainstream view of them. Do such sources exist? They do not appear to be included in the article in its current state. Right now we only say that he is "a lecturer on the subject" but not what is positions are nor how mainstream they are, and I don't think that's an acceptable state to leave the article. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:45, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I can try to add this, perhaps from reviews of his books. Also, there is a review on his web site from The Sunday Times that I could try to source, which says: "Overall Beyond Top Secret is a fascinating and well-documented book that makes a convincing case. The evidence that Good has amassed is too overwhelming to ignore and it is clear that a more open debate is long overdue." I can also remove the unsatisfactorily sourced "lecturer". -Lopifalko (talk) 06:49, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - In the week since you posted that, you have not added them. The article is still lacking sufficient reliable secondary sources to change my vote to delete. You should have used these sources in drafting the original article. If they were adequate, it would have saved a lot of other editors' time. If you couldn't find enough, it would have saved your time. TFD (talk) 13:13, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - @The Four Deuces: I did remove that he was a lecturer. I may not have had an opportunity to learn how to find the paywalled / offline sources (The Sunday Times) but I have been following this discussion and added plenty more of the sources that have come up. At the time this article was nominated for deletion it had 4 sources from the BBC, 2 from HuffPost, and 1 apiece from the Irish Independent, ABC, The New York Times, the CIA and New Scientist. 11 in total. I do not think that I am to blame for not adequately sourcing this article and wasting peoples' time. Now it has 28 sources. -Lopifalko (talk) 05:49, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      - I still don't see anything about what his contributions to ufology are. I created an article about Kenneth Goff, who coincidentally was also a leading ufologist, although I didn't mention it in his article. (I'll have to do that.) While I had come across his name as a leading figure in anti-Communism and the far right, I made sure I had sufficient sources to explain his views, influence and credibility to create an article. TFD (talk) 07:56, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        @The Four Deuces: Obviously it is ideal to, but if I absolutely must go as far as to describe a person's "views, influence and credibility" in order to create a biographical article then I have learned something. -Lopifalko (talk) 08:28, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While there are sources that he is a world expert on ufology, there is very little other information about him in reliable sources. WP:ACADEMIC does not apply because he is not an academic. While similar criteria could apply to pseudo-scientists as well, the article would need to explain what that contribution was. For example Copernicus "formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center of the universe," Isaac Newton "laid the foundations of classical mechanics," Einstein "developed the theory of relativity." We don't just say they were really important scientists and leave it at that. TFD (talk) 01:52, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Again, I can try to add what his contribution is, if I can source reviews of his books. -Lopifalko (talk) 06:49, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Does it add to his notability that Marcia Falkender, Baroness Falkender and Peter Hill-Norton have written forewords for some of his books? -Lopifalko (talk) 07:16, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment again from 5Q5 (Keep ~~conditionally~~, above). I remember buying Good's first book when it came out, later donated it to a library, but am not familiar with the content of the subsequent ones. Based on their titles and subtitles, however, they seem less geared toward neutral examinations of alien visitation theory and more toward pronouncements of sensational claims as fact. Phil Klass mentioned him a few times that I could find in the Internet Archive: Skeptics UFO Newsletter, #75 Spring 2003 Klass: Britain's Timothy Good, who first made public the original MJ-12 documents in the belief they were authentic, has since changed his opinion. Also, he was one of the first to spot that some of Tim Cooper's 'new' MJ-12 documents were written on Cooper's own personal typewriter [SUN #60/Nov. 1999]. Unlike the late UFO book author-lecturer media personality Stanton Friedman, Timothy Good doesn't have an entry on IMDb and if ever mentioned or reviewed in Skeptical Inquirer or Skeptic magazines, those articles are currently not online. In my opinion, if an author doesn't have a large enough mainstream media profile (yet) to qualify for an article on Wikipedia, that is either the fault of the written works to be newsmaking enough or the author's lack of a public relations effort to get mainstream press coverage. Perhaps one day Mr. Good will achieve those goals and someone can retry with a more developed article. For now, I still say keep the stub article for awhile to see if anyone can dig up more balanced referenced material, then delete if none can be found. 5Q5 (talk) 17:07, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I have added a link to his entry on IMDb. -Lopifalko (talk) 05:52, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, I missed that. Update, I dug up some mainstream and skeptically sourced material (BBC, Klass, etc.) and added it to the article. It might even be considered a "developing, but incomplete" Start-class bio now instead of a basic Stub, in my opinion. 5Q5 (talk) 16:57, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep being a stub is not a reason for deletion, his works have been reviewed in reliable sources such as The Times and he is an expert in his field according to reliable sources such as the BBC so he should be included. Obviously the UFO subject is controversial so neutral reliable sourcing is essential, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 22:09, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Howerer, there are reviews of his book, feature coverage, SIGCOV of him in articles about UFOS going back decades and best evaluated for notability in a news archive search. I may wish that Good's sort of martian-credulity didn't exist, but it does.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:13, 29 May 2019 (UTC) rethinking.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:00, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Other editors are being duped here. The reviews of his "work", such as they are, are of the WP:SENSATIONal variety and the problem is one of WP:FRIND where the only in-depth sources which discuss Good as a person are hopelessly conflicted. It is not possible to write a neutral and verifiably sourced article on this person because he is not notable enough a WP:FRINGEBLP. This also smacks a bit of WP:SOAP. Is the author of this article conflicted in some way? jps (talk) 18:20, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Conflicted" in what way jps? -Lopifalko (talk) 18:28, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno! I cannot understand your motivation for recreating a deleted article on an obscure UFOlogist. The fact that you claim he is a congressional consultant (which is a self-congratulatory claim that is verified by precisely no one) looks like you might be his publicist. jps (talk) 19:43, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

jps, I've written articles on 121 different people. 90 of those have been on photographers but 31 have been on totally random people. Why would I happen to be the publicist of this one in particular? I read Good's Beyond Top Secret many years ago. Recently I cleared out books and noticed this. I looked him up and was surprised there was no article on him, given how well renowned I remember him being all those years ago (amongst people, not necessarily amongst citable sources). He hardly seems "obscure", given his many books published by major publishers. I started the article from a nostalgic point of view and to see if one were possible; and continued it because it seemed he was provably notable. People write articles for all sorts of reasons that can never be guessed at, and why should we; to critique their motives when there are a plethora of independent reliable sources backing them up seems churlish. If the BBC and HuffPost talk about him having been "a consultant to several US Congressional investigations into UFOs" then why _not_ mention that in the article? -Lopifalko (talk) 21:15, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We have a history in WP:FRINGE articles at Wikipedia with WP:PROMOTION, so we have to be on the look-out. I appreciate your explanation and want to assure you that I am only questioning this out of an abundance of caution and wish more people were transparent as you are being. To be clear, Huffpost is notoriously credulous when it comes to pseudoscience and the BBC articles seem to me to be suffering from WP:SENSATIONalism (there is no attempt to actually investigate the subject dispassionately). UFOs are fringe topics liable to attract more scrutiny because of the problems we have with Wikipedia being used to promote nonsense. It seems like promotion of nonsense is exactly what is occurring here. jps (talk) 16:30, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@ජපස: Thanks for clarifying what's going on. Remarkably, I hadn't still hadn't genned up on WP:FRINGE, and was confused by the increased oversight for a straight forward article, but I get it now. -Lopifalko (talk) 15:47, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These topics are tricky and have a long history here at Wikipedia. The problem is that a lot of the claims this person makes are incorrect, but they are so superficially incorrect that there are not sources commenting directly on his claims. This tends to raise red flags in terms of notability (and is, thus, my primary reason for !voting "delete"). This is typically the tactic Wikipedia has taken with respect to these subjects and why his biography was deleted in the past. An alternative technique might be to relax the original research rules and allow for critical analysis that is absent in the source material, but the problem with this is that we have no way to vet WP:EXPERTs at Wikipedia and so if you accept original research that is high-quality you would also end up accepting original research that is low-quality. Deletion is a way to preserve the integrity of the encyclopedia while simultaneously also avoiding sticky discussions about what to do with demonstrably incorrect ideas. jps (talk) 16:39, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The aspersions being cast by editor jps are a patent violation of WP:NPA. Being personally called a “dupe” and seeing Lopifalko’s good faith being blatantly smeared is a matter of concern far beyond the Afd we were previously having a civil discussion about. I’d like a non-involved admin to review the comments editor jps has made here, which I believe to be actionable. Jusdafax (talk) 00:34, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a problem with me personally, this is not the correct venue to discuss it. I suggest moving this to somewhere more appropriate. jps (talk) 16:30, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (5Q5, keep). I dug up some more citable phrases establishing the subject's international notability, at least beginning in 1987: "Timothy Good, Britain's leading UFO researcher" The Observer, 1987, London, England, The Salina Journal, Salina, Kansas, 1987, The Pantagraph, Bloomington, Illinois, 1987. / "British journalist Good" Ottawa Citizen, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, 1988. [End refs] These that I've just mentioned aren't sensational or fringe claims, just basic descriptions of a nonfiction book's author, which should be considered separate from any other content in the cited article that may otherwise include some sensational material (think articles about time travel, parallel universes, etc.}.

Other Wikipedia articles that already exist on Good:

(Comment contd) As you know, there is a "better source needed" tag available if an editor is not happy. If Phil Klass wrote about him multiple times then surely there must be one or more back issues of The Skeptical Inquirer pre-Internet era where he gets discussed that could be added as balance in the future. I expect skeptics will look into that. For the record, I don't know Mr. Good directly or indirectly. Due to government and even United Nations interest in the topic of UFOs I don't think it's deserving of the label fringe as say the topics of fairies and bigfoot would be. There is a mainstream aspect to it definitely, in my opinion. 5Q5 (talk) 17:17, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As an astronomer, I can tell you, 5Q5 that your opinion is based on ignorance and supposition rather than fact of what is visible in the sky. Also, our opinions do not matter on Wikipedia. The fact that you are WP:POVPUSHing this idea that UFOs are "mainstream" makes me question as to whether you should be editing in this area. See WP:CIR. jps (talk) 17:41, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jps, per WP:TALK#COMMUNICATE: "Explaining why you have a certain opinion helps to demonstrate its validity to others and reach consensus." I didn't write that UFOs are mainstream. I wrote that an aspect of the topic is. I also didn't equate the term UFOs with alien visitation. A UFO could be a meteor and often is. I don't have a CD or print back-issue collection of the Skeptical Inquirer to do an in-depth search for critical quotes about Good, but here (see badufos.blogspot.com/2014/02/) is a 2014 notability description with criticism by skeptic and CSI fellow Robert Sheaffer that you can add to the article in a Criticism section right now with my full encouragement: "well-known British UFOlogist Timothy Good, long known for promoting dubious claims..." 5Q5 (talk) 13:22, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You aren't dealing with the substance of the criticism. When a skeptic scoffs at a pseudoscientist like Good with an off-handed comment, this is not something on which to build a WP:BLP. In-depth sources are important to establish notability. Right now, we have hack churnalism and sneering. I also note that you are the one trying to equate UFOlogy with time travel (which exists) and parallel universes (which are a serious topic of academic debate) as opposed to bigfoot and fairies. We absolutely should have an article on UFOs. We should not have an article on 3rd rate charlatans who sell stories to breathless journalists like Good whether they are believers in alien contact, monsters, or magic pixie dust. jps (talk) 17:48, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Final comment from 5Q5 (keep). Another British UFO book author Jenny Randles has a minor biographical article on Wikipedia with substantially less references. Her article survived a deletion nomination in 2008. I say publish Good's developing Start-class article and place the same header template that is on Randles'. Here are some more skeptical and mainstream source material for any interested editor to use to provide balance to Good's article:

The Skeptic magazine UK (He gave a lecture they sponsored. Contains info from Good's publisher.)
Australian Skeptics (book review)
Australian Skeptics (book reviews)
Google search: site:thetimes.co.uk "Timothy Good" (At least one of Good's books was on The Times's UK bestseller list. The site has a paywall.)

I don't see any point in commenting further. I don't intend to do any additional work on or to monitor Good's article. The editor who created it should have done more homework before uploading it. Thanks. 5Q5 (talk) 15:29, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Look, for us to write a biography, we need sources that attest to this person's biography. We need more than book reviews and blurbs about events from 15 years ago. WP:NAUTHOR does not seem to be met by your proposed list. jps (talk) 16:41, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Er, not exactly. With writers, artists and other WP:CREATIVE types, if the work is notable , we can have a page - even if the author is anonymous. Bio details not required. Of course, Good is not exactly Elena Ferrante, more like Ibn Warraq, or Mark A. Gabriel, a pseudonym, for a writer whose work is considered FRINGE by some - although it's hard ot be as FRINGE as believing in UFOs. the page on Gabriel has been taken to AfD and kept 3 separate times: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark A. Gabriel (3rd nomination). We really don't need bio details.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:54, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think if the work is notable, then it should be possible to find some sources about the person making the work (if not, we just write about the work). These reviews are not exactly screaming "notable creative-type" here. jps (talk) 19:03, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Houston, We have a problem. The problem is that the page is edited and maintained by editors intent on the anti-reality narrative the UFOs exist and that Good is a leading expert on the real and documented phenomenon of members strange alien species popping down to to earth for a visit in vehicles of extraterrestrial manufacture. With apologies for using a paywalled news search cf.:
- Comment User:E.M.Gregory "The problem is that the page is edited and maintained by editors intent on the anti-reality narrative the UFOs exist and that Good is a leading expert..." — Not true and I take offence at the insinuation. In my case I wrote the article basically on the basis that an author existed and that a minimum of sustained coverage in 2 independent reliable sources existed. I have tried to keep it as objective as I could. Where people here have suggested the article take on another direction I have tried to incorporate that, see the "Criticism" section. -Lopifalko (talk) 18:41, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The page, as it now stands, largely the work of page creator Lopifalko, is a POV misrepresentation not only of reality, but of the sources he cites, with quotations from sources pulled out of context so that meaning is inverted or elided.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:37, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@E.M.Gregory: If you give me an example of what you mean then I can address it. I feel you're assuming nefariousness intent where there is none. Please assume good faith. -Lopifalko (talk) 12:21, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

" The United States held a top-secret investigation into unidentified flying objects after World War II and found the bodies of four humanoids from a crashed flying saucer, according to Britain's leading UFO expert. The Observer newspaper yesterday quoted UFO researcher Timothy Good as saying that a U.S. government committee, code-named Majestic-12, examined and then covered up news of UFO crashes in the late 1940s.": (UFO Expert Says U.S. Found 4 Dead Humanoids. San Francisco Chronicle [San Francisco, Calif]01 June 1987: 3.
He is not infinitely credulous, " A CLAIM by an Oldbury stargazer that he had filmed a UFO has been shot to Earth by an expert who reckons the footage is the planet Venus. Roberto Pall... maintained the object, which he first saw in May, was a UFO... He filmed various encounters of what he was convinced was a spacecraft from another world. But best-selling author and UFO expert Timothy Good said after viewing the footage he was convinced it was actually Venus which does shine brightly in the night sky. He added: "To me most of the footage does indeed show Venus. The enlarging and shrinking of the object is due to the video camera being on auto-focus.": (Timothy Good is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities." UFO 'is just Venus' Birmingham Mail; Birmingham (UK) 26 July 2007: 20.)
But he is a believer, and a conspiracy theorist: " Timothy Good of Beckenham, an author of several novels on UFOs, said: "UFOs remain the most sensitive subject in British intelligence. It is wonderful that some of this information is now being made public even though I believe they are withholding even more. 'The sheer number of sightings over London and the fact that none has a rational explanation is both fascinating and exciting to me.'": (Great flying doughnuts!

FYI. Some, er, highlights of Good's beliefs:

The US has been in charge of worldwide alien contact since 1952.
President George Washington kept details of the aliens a secret.
President Eisenhower had meetings with the aliens during his administration.
The US 10th Fleet has had bases on the Moon and Mars for decades.
Good has had three personal contacts with aliens. Telepathically.
Astronaut Gordon Cooper has flown a recovered alien flying saucer.
Henry Kissinger was part of an inner circle working with the aliens since 1946.
NASA's real mission is to distract the public from the truth about aliens.

...and that's just from one book. The titles of his books are literally conspiracy theories (e.g. Earth: An Alien Enterprise: The Shocking Truth Behind the Greatest Cover-Up in Human History), yet we have no RS calling him a conspiracy theorist. That alone should tell you that none of the cited sources takes Good seriously enough to give him anything but WP:SENSATIONAL coverage, and that's a shitty basis for an article. - LuckyLouie (talk) 18:49, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not notable enough to meet WP:FRINGEBLP. I NOTE that although Good wrote many books, only the first (1987) book was widely reviewed, and those reviews were sensationalist, jocular or mocking in tone. That he was interviewed in the wake of the 1987 book, but after that interviews fall off steeply. And that he advocated both the FRINGE theory that UFO's visit our planet regularly and the FRINGE conspiracy theory that the governments of the U.S. and U.K. have verification of these visits (dead bodies of aliens and similar,) that they conceal. WP:FRINGEBLP is a higher standard than WP:BASIC or WP:AUTHOR, as it should be. He does not pass it.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:32, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Answering page creator User:Lopifalko's question here instead of above. Lopifalko, what I meant by "POV misrepresentation" is, for example, the statement now on page that "Good has acted as a consultant to several US Congressional investigations into UFOs." Published during his 5 seconds of press attention when the only one of his many books that got press attention came out, it is sourced to an unsigned article on Huff Post: "Eisenhower Met With ETs Says Ex-Government Consultant", which says nothing about a congressional investgation, and to BBC Birmingham, where a vague claim is made "has acted as a consultant to several US Congress investigations into the phenomenon." But, have there actually been U.S. Congressional investigations into UFO? I'm dubious. If there have been such investigations and Good participated in them you will be able to find and bring better documentation than this.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:47, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@E.M.Gregory: I have removed it. Likewise I am happy to remove anything else that is contentious. Personally I feel that "first western UFO researcher to be interviewed on Russian television after the collapse of the Soviet Union" is scraping the barrel, which another editor added. -Lopifalko (talk) 15:24, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am less troubled here by material that is "contentious" than I am by misrepresentation. For example, the page as you wrote it states: "According to the BBC, "Good is considered one of the world's leading experts on the UFO phenomenon", has "written numerous best-selling books" on the subject and was the first western UFO researcher to be interviewed on Russian television after the collapse of the Soviet Union." But was this the BBC? It [29] is posted on a BBC local Birmingham site in a section called "people" , and we know that it is not reliable becasue it tells us that Good participated in multiple U. S. Congressional investigations of UFOs. What it looks like is a press release. the tipoff is the ending. "Timothy Good is next appearing in Birmingham in December 2009 to give a lecture for BUFOG - the Birmingham UFO Group. Visit: www.bufog.com for more information. Tim's latest book 'Need to Know: UFOs, The Military, and Intelligence' published Sidgwick and Jackson is available now in all good bookstores." this is a PR release by [[30]]. "The Birmingham UFO Group." E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:48, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted @E.M.Gregory:, thanks, I hadn't read that far down. I have removed all the quotations cited to that. -Lopifalko (talk) 16:07, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I take it that you are satisfied with skeptoid.com as a WP:RS? If you want your assertion that the page is NPOV, you might want to take a closer look at the reliability of the sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:30, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know anything about skeptoid.com, someone else added that and also I have ignored it so far where it has been linked to in this discussion, with a plan to investigate another time. I will look at its use in the article later today. -Lopifalko (talk) 17:25, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the skeptoid.com source added by user 5Q5. I also removed "Robert Sheaffer has written that Good is "long known for promoting dubious claims" and source that I had added in good faith based on the info given by user 5Q5, in this deletion discussion above: "here (see badufos.blogspot.com/2014/02/) is a 2014 notability description with criticism by skeptic and CSI fellow Robert Sheaffer that you can add to the article in a Criticism section right now with my full encouragement". -Lopifalko (talk) 19:38, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Currently the only source in the article that is actually critical of Good's claims is a blog post on https://badufos.blogspot.com/. However, although it is by a recognized expert (Robert Sheaffer) it is a self-published source, and WP:BLPSPS forbids using such sources on biographies of living people. Without a reliably published source of this nature, we cannot have a properly neutral article about the subject. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:56, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. -Lopifalko (talk) 19:38, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

However, POV is not the only problem with this page. Per WP:BLPFRINGE there would need to be "reliable and independent sources that discuss the person in a serious and extensive manner."E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:00, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@E.M.Gregory: I see how this works now, that the sources humour him. I've started looking for sources that are critical of him but haven't found any yet. -Lopifalko (talk) 15:49, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I looked too, and several editors above note that they have also searched for a WP:RS vetting and factchecking Good's assertions about visitors from other worlds. None of us have found such a source - and I ran some powerful news and scholarly archive searches. And, as you say, we do need such a source per WP:BLPFRINGE.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:44, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Quite. -Lopifalko (talk) 20:12, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Would the critical analysis of Good and of his claims in Above Top Secret by Australian Skeptics in its The Skeptic magazine in 1987 and 1989 be suitable? Far, far above, 5Q5 said they weren't online but jps provided links. -Lopifalko (talk) 07:40, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; it failed the first nomination, and there is only one reference dated 1987 for the leading UFO researcher in Britain; which indicates they probably have a new one every year, and probably isn't awarded by the Royal Society. -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 06:27, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. The article references are the best I could find. He scrapes WP:NAUTHOR with his books being reviewed/cited by New Scientist, New York Times, BBC and Irish Independent (and others); and he is a major figure in his field. The BBC have interviewed him, and said "Timothy Good is considered one of the world's leading experts on the UFO phenomenon". He lacks the major interview in a Tier 1 RS that would give unambigious WP:SIGCOV, however, I do think he scrapes NAUTHOR, and a reader into UFOs would expect to find him in WP. Britishfinance (talk) 12:48, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Actually, Tom DeLonge has had a May 2019 documentary aired on the $36m he has spent on UFO research (see Tom DeLonge#To The Stars), and he is citing Good as his inspiration; it is throwing a lot more citations on Good, including Newsweek, Fox News, and others. Again, adding to his notability in this field. Britishfinance (talk)

Note the BBC reference has been discussed here. It's not actually the BBC. It is written by a local UFO group and hosted on the BBC's Birmingham page. You can tell by the headline "Alien Bases Revealed!". - LuckyLouie (talk) 13:55, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is an interview by BBC Birmingham, which is still the BBC. As I said, he lacks a Tier 1 RS interview that would make him a solid Keep, but he is clearly identified by good RS as being a notable figure in this field per WP:NAUTHOR. Britishfinance (talk) 14:04, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

His 1987 book Above Top Secret is actually cited by a paper that the CIA print in full on their website that supported the theme that the CIA covered up research into UFOs [31]; for a conspiracy theorist like Good, that is notability indeed. Britishfinance (talk) 15:31, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm not sure I'd classify a city of 365,253 as small. Is there any policy/criteria for this determination? According to the article, Korba is the third largest in the state of Chhattisgarh.Thsmi002 (talk) 13:14, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thsmi002, the most relevant guideline is WP:NPOLITICIAN, which says that only state- and national- level politicians are considered automatically notable (alongside local politicians that have significant coverage and thus meet GNG). Additionally, there's WP:POLOUTCOMES, which states that City councillors and other major municipal officers are not automatically notable, although precedent has tended to favor keeping members of the main citywide government of internationally famous metropolitan areas such as Toronto, Chicago, Tokyo, or London.. So, while Korba is not a village (although in my personal view any city smaller than 1 million could easily be considered small), it's not exactly Mumbai. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:20, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There's an obvious difference between being mayor of such a large city and being one of the city councillors or municipal officers. Can you point to any case where an article about the mayor of a city of this size in a Western anglophone country has been deleted? Phil Bridger (talk) 18:22, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Phil Bridger, going through the list of deletion nominations for politicians for the last month, the only mayor fo a similarly sized city that I found was this example from a slightly smaller (pop ~140k) city in Kansas, which was deleted. There is also much stronger evidence that mayors of cities one order of magnitude smaller are routinely deleted. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 19:51, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's a mayor of a city of less than half the population of Korba, not just a slightly smaller city. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:07, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Same order of magnitude, which is the closest I could find for articles about mayors up for deletion the past month. At any rate, the relevant guideline is rather clear that only state- and nation- level politicians are a priori presumed to be notable. POLOUTCOMES is a weaker standard which further establishes that municipal leaders of the most well-known cities in the world are generally kept. For everyone else (i.e. this subject)–whether mayors, councillors, or otherwise–the standards of notability are GNG and NBIO. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 20:37, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see no reason why a logarithmic scale should be preferred to an absolute scale in this case. The question simply seems to be whether we should use the same standard for the mayor of a city inhabited mainly by brown non-anglophone people as we use for the mayor of a city inhabited mainly by white anglophone people. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:49, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Phil Bridger, I have no intention to hold this article to a different standard due to the nationality of the subject and object to having my position described as such. I disagree with Thsmi002's assessment of the Lincoln, Nebraska article's implications on what is generally considered notable, and therefore fail to see any double standard here. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 21:08, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be along the lines of what I was thinking. For example, the redlinks in List of mayors of Lincoln, Nebraska suggests that being the mayor of Lincoln, a city of 258,379 makes the subject wikinotable. It's difficult for me to search sources in this case because I do not speak any Indian languages. Thsmi002 (talk) 18:36, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thsmi002, I don't think I agree with your assessment of that list. Barely over a fifth of the listed politicians have an article, and of those that do, several held significantly more notable positions than mayor of Lincoln, including Senators and Nebraska governors. If we ignore such examples, we're down to 3 out of 40 mayors that have an article, hardly evidence that mayors of the city are instantly notable. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 21:02, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody who can read the necessary language to find the correct type of sourcing can do significantly better than this. It is true that in a North American or European context, a mayor of a city this size would often be kept — but the key word there is "often", which is not the same thing as "always", because even in North American and European cities mayoral notability still hinges on the quality of the sourcing that the article either already shows or can be improved to show. For example, even cities this size do not always have directly elected executive mayors at all — some have purely ceremonial mayors who are selected through an annual "everybody on council gets a turn" rotation among the city councillors, and that type of mayor would not get an automatic inclusion freebie just because they existed as a mayor of a city in the 300K range.
The notability test for mayors does not extend "no sourcing required" freebies just because of the city's population — the notability test for a mayor, regardless of what country the city is in and regardless of how big the city is or isn't, always hinges on the quality of the sources you can show to support the article, and not just on the size of the city per se. So if somebody's willing to locate better sources to properly support Renu Agrawal's notability, then I'd be happy to reconsider this — but the references here right now are both very short blurbs that mention her name in the process of not being about her, and even one of those two is from a WordPress blog rather than a reliable source media outlet. It's not a question of whether the voters are white or brown, either: even a North American mayor of a city this size would still not be handed an automatic notability pass on this depth of sourcing alone, if nothing better could actually be found.
Mayoral notability depends on the quality of the sourcing, not the population of the city or the skin colour of the voters. Bearcat (talk) 13:40, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Mayors are not automatically notable, and I don't see the sourcing to get her over the line. Fails WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 01:15, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. in the past, we have accepted that mayors of US cities with moren 60,000 population are usually notable, and over 100,000 always. (Some afs have said 60,000 always, and I have usually held out for 100,000--I'm a little restrictive on local topics). But this city is three times that size. I generally am very skeptical towards claims that we should keep on the grounds of purported cultural bias even if there's a failure to meet the usual criteria. But this is a case where the usual criteria are met, so opposition to this seems to be one of the instances where we are in fact showing cultural-based bias. With respect to sourcing, low sourcing in unfamiliar geographic areas with less internet media is the source of most often source of actual cultural bias. DGG ( talk ) 04:42, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If that's really a well-established consensus I would vote to keep, but this is the first I'm hearing of it and it seems like a low bar. I'd be interested in seeing any example AfDs or essays, as I'm wondering how many subjects that meet this standard actually end up with articles that clearly pass GNG _signed,Rosguill ^talk 04:57, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We definitely do not have any consensus that mayors are always guaranteed articles the moment the city has cleared 100K in population — 100K or not, a mayor's notability always still hinges on the depth and volume and range and quality of the sourcing that can be shown to support an article. Mayors of 100K+ cities can still fail to receive the necessary depth of coverage, and are not handed a free exemption from having to have quality sources just because the city's population has surpassed an arbitrary number. It's true that our mayoral notability standards used to be based on an arbitrary population cutoff — but that was deprecated a long time ago, because it left us with far, far too many bad "Person is the mayor of city, the end" stubs about mayors who were unsourceable and unexpandable. The actual standard that a mayor has to clear in 2019 hinges on the number of quality sources that the article can use, not on the number of people that the mayor happens to govern. Bearcat (talk) 11:50, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Rather than go off on these rants with italicisation that makes your edits resemble spam emails, why not give us some evidence of this change of consensus? The best way, as I said above, would be to point out where an article about the elected mayor of a city of anything approaching this size in a Western anglophone country has ever come anywhere near a deletion decision. Another way would be to compare this elected mayor of a city with more than half the population of Vermont with the 150 members of that state's general assembly and the 30 members of its senate who get automatic notability passes. Notability guidelines are supposed to be interpreted with a bit of common sense, which says that an elected mayor of Korba, verified by sources, is far more notable than a single representative in Vermont. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:54, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We just recently deleted a mayor of Liverpool, on the grounds that because of the way the office of mayor works there (ceremonial, and without any real executive power) he wasn't sourceable to much more than cursory verification that he exists. We've deleted many, many articles about mayors of cities above 100K in size in the United States, because they didn't have the depth or range of coverage required to actually pass NPOL #2 on the sources. And on and so forth: AFD discussions about mayors very routinely establish that the notability test for a mayor is his or her depth and range and volume of sourceability, not an arbitrary population number that lets mayors stick around on inadequate sourcing just because the city happens to surpass a certain size. NPOL #2 even explicitly says that the notability test for local politicians, such as mayors, is "who have received significant press coverage".
But the sources we have here are not "significant press coverage" at all. Both of them are short blurbs; one is a very short blurb in a real newspaper, which just quotes her as saying "It is our first duty to protect plants and to plant maximum number of saplings and conserve them", and the other is a very short blurb in an unreliable WordPress blog, which nominally verifies her election victory while not being about her. The notability test for mayors, again, is "significant press coverage" — namely a depth, range and/or volume of sourcing that enables us to write a genuinely substantive and useful article that covers the mayor in some depth. It is not "a mayor is always guaranteed an article the moment any source at all can be found to verify that she exists, even if it's just a short blurb on a blog that just verifies her vote total on election day".
So rather than criticizing other editors just because you don't like their writing style, how about you actually make an effort to find some of the better, more detailed, more substantive sources that would actually make a difference? Bearcat (talk) 13:14, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I presume that the mayor of Liverpool who was deleted held that post before 2012, when that was an unelected ceremonial position, so not comparable to the directly elected mayor of Korba. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:21, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

However, as Lubbad85 writes above, "the lack of easily searchable english language sources" makes it difficult to find reliable coverage of the subject. As I wrote in WP:Articles for deletion/Denis Law (politician) "an article about a mayor of a city of regional prominence would need adequate sources (in total) that provides a framework to create an article to sufficiently describe the subject and/or their agenda/actions as mayor. Those sources may be purely local, but national sources help." --Enos733 (talk) 22:28, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. TV series' Christmas episodes are a specific television sub-genre with many such episodes receiving detailed write-ups (List of United States Christmas television episodes). This full-length article is certainly useful to those researching Christmas on TV and, with WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS of many other detailed Christmas episodes, there is no need to single out this episode for redirect and drastic reduction. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:48, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The problem identified with this article is that there is simply very little (if any) coverage in independent reliable sources -- clearly insufficient to write a reasonably detailed article. Yes, we can write detailed article about every episode of every TV show ever made based entirely on the primary source that might be useful in some way to someone at some point in the future. Similarly, we could have an article giving the coordinates and species of every tree in New York City or prices paid for various CDs on Ebay. But we don't. (As for anyone using this article for "research", I await the scholarly monograph discussing the work of such noted thespians as Unnamed England Boy, Ma Carrot, England Woman with Tan Colored Dress, and others who appear in this work as themselves, along with the noted performances by Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber and Pa Grape. Percy Pea was clearly cheated from an Emmy nomination for Best Legume in a Supporting Role in a Musical or Comedy.) - SummerPhD^v2.0 17:08, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Individual episodes of TV series do indeed receive sparse coverage in independent reliable sources, nevertheless, various series, such as The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Star Trek and a number of others have detailed episode articles for every single installment. It all depends upon the willingness of individual editors to perform the designated task.

A few years ago, individual films were being submitted for deletion on the basis of not being sufficiently notable. Now, virtually all films are considered sufficiently notable to have an entry in Wikipedia. On the same basis, at some point in the future, since Wikipedia has unlimited space, we may indeed have a "detailed article about every episode of every TV show ever made".

As for comparisons with creation of lists focusing on other frames of reference, such as tree coordinates or "prices paid for various CDs on Ebay", it all depends on consensus. Since consensus already exists regarding films and TV series, tweaking detail of coverage emerges from discussions such as this.

Each feature film and each episode of TV series brings its own viewpoint and many or most of those, especially children's series, may be vulnerable to the reductio ad absurdum put forth by those who would "await the scholarly monograph discussing the work of such noted thespians as Unnamed England Boy..." In this case, however, I invite those interested to glance at VeggieTales#Reception and awards to see that this series is considered as one of the most original of its kind. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:38, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't read through the wall of text above but have read the first sentence to which I respond that WP:NEPISODE details how an individual episode can establish notability. For some shows there is enough critical analysis of each episode that it's true each of these episodes is notable. For most TV, even successful TV, each episode is not notable only some larger chunk of the show is notable. That's why in this case the redirect is appropriate. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 23:58, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Logan Staats[edit]

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

Advertorialized BLP of a musician with only iffy claims to passing WP:NMUSIC, and reference bombed to garbage sources rather than genuinely reliable ones. iTunes is a single-vendor WP:BADCHART, not a record chart that confers notability under NMUSIC #2, so topping that chart counts for nothing whatsoever toward making a musician notable -- so the only notability claim he really has is a technical pass of #9 for winning The Launch, but that show is not so "inherently" notable as to grant him a free exemption from actually having to have legitimate or reliable references.
Of the 50 footnotes here, however, fully 35 of them are primary sources (his own self-published content about himself on social networking platforms and iTunes itself, etc.) that are not valid support for notability at all; another nine are unreliable source blogs; and four are just here to tangentially verify the existence of the Mohawk Nation, the Six Nations of the Grand River and the geographic appelation "Turtle Island", while completely failing to actually mention Logan Staats's name at all in conjunction with any of them. Just two footnotes actually represent coverage about Logan Staats in a fully reliable and independent source — but the kicker is that both of those two acceptable footnotes are the same source, unnecessarily repeated as two separate footnotes instead of using the named callback format. So there's really only one genuinely notability-supporting source present here at all, and one notability-supporting source is not enough.
No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write and source it properly — but the sourcing here at present is utterly for shit, and his notability claim is swaddled in too much advertorialism to overlook that. Best case scenario, this is a candidate for the blow it up and start over treatment — worst case, it's too soon for a person who might still be months or years away from having anywhere near enough of the correct quality of sourcing to support a Wikipedia article at all. As always, the rule is not that as long as the article asserts a notability claim, the sources can be just any garbage you can find — the quality of the sources you can show is the notability test he has to pass, regardless of what achievements the article claims.
