Biography of a minor character in a television drama series, written entirely in-universe with no real-world context for why she would be a notable character and no reliable sourcing -- the only "references" here are circular citations to the plot descriptions in the show's Wikipedia episode list, not actual media coverage. I'm not convinced that a character who appeared in just four episodes of a TV series that's had over 300 episodes to date (and is still on the air, so that number is going to get even larger) is even significant enough to warrant a redirect to the character list -- so I'm proposing deletion, but I'd be willing to accept it if consensus lands on redirection instead. Either way, however, there's no properly demonstrated or properly sourced reason for a standalone article here. Unfortunately, however, there's a bigger problem brewing: I just checked the fifteen other characters in this franchise who have standalone biography articles linked in ((Criminal Minds)), and virtually none of them is showing any real-world context or citing very much significant non-circular sourcing either.

Completely unreferenced article about a business school, which just states that it exists without suggesting or sourcing a reason why its existence would be noteworthy. It is not listed in Bangalore University as an affiliated school, so the listing of "MBA - Bangalore University" under the programs header here is neither a notability guarantee nor a reason to redirect it to the university -- we would need reliable source verification that it's actually affiliated with the university, and not just falsely clamed as such for PR purposes, to make that statement mean anything. (The article also formerly listed more programs than just an MBA stream, but none of them have ever been referenced either.) Also, this was recently totally blanked by an editor who apparently thought they were helping Wikipedia combat unreferenced content -- but the proper way to deal with unreferenced content is to either find adequate references or list it for deletion, not just to erase the entire article in the hopes that it eventually gets speedied as a blank page.

Two separate poorly referenced articles about the same song, with no evidence provided that it would clear WP:NSONGS. The notability test for songs is being the subject of reliable source coverage, not just being verifiable as existing -- but both articles literally just state that the song exists, the end, rather than suggesting a reason why its existence would be encyclopedically noteworthy. Peaking #84 on the charts is not a high enough chart position to grant it a presumption of notability in the absence of adequate sources either — note that NSONGS explicitly states that charting suggests that a song may be notable, and does not in and of itself guarantee that a song is notable: the test is still the depth of reliable source coverage that the song does or doesn't have about it, not just technical verification of a low chart position. But one short blurb about the song in one music magazine is not enough coverage to get a song over the bar all by itself — it takes quite a bit more than just one source to make a song notable enough to have its own article separately from its parent album, but the only other source shown by either article is its Spotify stream. Note as well that in addition to these two duplicate articles, there's also a redirect to the album in place from the form "Fluctuate (Catfish and the Bottlemen song)" — meaning editors really need to be more careful that they're not reduplicating and retriplicating existing content. Ordinarily I would just redirect a poorly sourced article about a song to its album and be done with it, but with two separate articles and an already existing redirect, I don't believe we need to hold onto three separate redirects for the same song — we should just pick one title to retain as a redirect, while deleting the other two as redundant.

Article about a record label, not reliably sourced as clearing WP:NCORP. Notability is not inherited, so record labels are not handed an automatic notability freebie just because they might have one or more notable artists on them -- a record label's notability remains contingent on whether or not it is the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. But pretty much right across the board, the sources here are all either primary sources that are completely irrelevant to establishing notability at all, or glancing namechecks of its existence in coverage of other people — the only one that's more than trivially about the label at all is from a digital news startup whose status as a reliable or notability-making source is uncertain at best (I cannot, for instance, find a clear editorial masthead on its website, but only a directory of its advertising sales staff), and reads suspiciously more like either a press release or a thinly veiled rewrite of one than it does like real journalism. This is not the kind of sourcing it takes to make a record label notable.Bearcat (talk) 15:39, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Record labels most certainly can and do get reliable source coverage about the label, so there's no legitimate reason to deem CORP somehow a poor gauge for the notability of a record label. Your argument in the past discussion, that "whether or not a record label is notable ought to be decided by experts in music, not experts in business", is the real red herring here, because nothing in NCORP indicates that the coverage necessarily has to be financial reportage in the business section, and somehow can't be news or arts coverage about the company's cultural or artistic significance. NCORP merely mandates that coverage about the company has to exist, and nothing about NCORP suggests or even implies that said coverage somehow has to come from business writers and can't come from music writers.
Being the subject of notability-supporting coverage is not a test that record labels have a pattern of being consistently unable to meet, because record labels most certainly can and do get coverage about them. As I noted, the references here are all either glancing namechecks of the label's existence in coverage of other things or primary sources that do not constitute support for notability at all — if this type of sourcing were all it took to make a record label notable enough for inclusion, then there would be never be any such thing as a non-notable record label anymore, because no record label in the entire history of music has ever gone completely unverifiable in at least some of these kinds of sources.
And anyway, even if we did have a consensus that record labels were exempted from having to pass CORP and just had to satisfy NMUSIC instead, even NMUSIC also explicitly states that the inclusion test is not just the thing being claimed, but still hinges on the quality of the referencing being used to support the claim. A record label is not automatically "culturally or artistically significant" just because you say it is — reliable sources have to establish its cultural or artistic significance by covering it as a subject.

This seems part of a larger campaign to supplant SNG's with the GNG, which I have disagreed with in the past. We could just as well declare that a band needs to meet NCORP to be included, but we do not - we never do that, even though a band is most certainly an organization (usually a profit-seeking one, to boot) organized together for a purpose, as CORP states. WP:MUSIC suggests a few criteria that indicate whether a label is important enough to merit inclusion, and I think we should look to those rather than to some broad guideline that may result in impoverished conprehensiveness of coverage (just as we do for musicians, and for athletes, and for populated places, et cetera). Once we've determined that an entity meets an SNG, it is not a requirement that we find half-a-dozen longform articles about it to establish that importance, because that would mean the only way to have an article, de facto, is the GNG. We merely have to ensure that what is in the article is verifiable, as a matter of policy - and it is rarely difficult to verify artist rosters and discographies, especially for twenty-first-century labels. Chubbles (talk) 12:05, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that we regularly see people or organizations make false claims about themselves designed to make them sound like they clear the SNG: musicians falsely claimed to have bigger chart hits than they've ever really had; writers falsely claimed to have nominations for awards they were never really shortlisted for; politicians claimed to have held offices they didn't really hold; and on and so forth. So getting a topic over an SNG is never just a matter of saying that the topic passes an SNG — the topic still has to have some evidence of GNG-worthy coverage which verifies that its claim to passing the SNG is true, and is never automatically exempted from having to have any reliable source coverage at all just because of what the article claims. SNGs don't exempt topics from having to have any reliable source coverage just because passage has been asserted, and GNG doesn't mean we exempt unsigned bands from having to pass NMUSIC just because they've gotten their name into their local newspaper three times and can thus claim to pass NMUSIC #1 in lieu of actually achieving anything noteworthy — every topic always has to have both a notability claim that passes an SNG and a GNG-worthy volume of reliable source coverage to support it, not just one thing or the other. SNGs exist to clarify what counts as a notability claim, and GNG exists to clarify how the notability claim has to be supported in order to translate into a keepable article — they work together, not as alternative paths that cancel or replace each other. Bearcat (talk) 16:32, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think that is a reading at variance with the actual text of WP:N, but ultimately I guess that's a topic for a different and much wider conversation somewhere else. Chubbles (talk) 00:55, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The core definition of notability is the existence of reliable source coverage about the topic. There are exactly zero things in the entire universe that are so critically important for us to have an article about that they're exempted from having to meet the basic definition of notability just because of what they claim about themselves.

@RebeccaGreen: thank you for adding sources. The LiveMint "article" is an advertisement. It says so (not exactly conspicuously) right on the page. It is content paid for by the record company. It can be used for basic factual information, but it doesn't help establish notability.

@StrayBolt: The words "Advertisement" are placed within the article four times. However, it appears that all their articles are formatted like this, see [4], and if the space isn't sold, then the word "advertisement" appears and nothing else. However, this State Bank of India article is written by a reporter with many, many contributions, while the CandyRat article's author has only this singular contribution, which almost certainly means he is not a staff writer for the newspaper and which raises suspicions. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 20:49, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The word "Advertisement" appears inside a box in which ads appears. It does not say the article is an ad. You can't say any page with an ad intermixed with ads makes an article an advertisement. Also, maybe the LiveMint contributors with many articles are really pseudonyms for ad generated content or the salesperson who made the sale and the ones with only a few contributions are the real "reporters". Maybe the article didn't generate enough ad revenue so LiveMint didn't accept any more. Maybe the contributor found something that paid better. We don't know.

Comment: Article in current state fails way below what is required for Wikipedia from views of content and sources. Was dePRODd by myself as might have has potential if website to be believed (though non-English some indication of international note). Was added to appropriate WikiProjects but has not been improved and rightfully if not improved should be deleted.

Poorly sourced article about a niche social media meme with no evidence of passing the ten year test for enduring significance. This describes its subject as a "hypothetical cricket academy created by a facebook page", but that's not really an accurate description -- it's just a phrase used to mock people, in exactly the same way as any person whose errors of behaviour or skill resemble somebody else's can be mocked as having attended "Other Person School": "the Donald Trump school of Twitter diplomacy", the "Justin Trudeau school of public relations crisis management", the "Theresa May school of leadership", the "Angela Merkel school of public speaking", etc. And there aren't nearly enough references to actually get the phrase over WP:GNG as a phrase; two mention the phrase in the process of being about the people who are being labelled rather than about the phrase per se, and the third just tangentially verifies a stray fact about the namesake's cricket stats without even mentioning the phrase at all. None of this adds up to a reason why a Wikipedia article about this phrase would be necessary. Bearcat (talk) 18:39, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, I can’t believe that are you are comparing a pageant based purely on a persons appearance against a sporting contest, which requires physical and mental skills. Besides in most cases, apart from the Olympics, an individual needs to have at least placed in an international competition, to be considered notable. Dan arndt (talk) 11:19, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And I absolutely cannot believe that you have nominated these articles for deletion when you clearly have such limited knowledge of the subject matter! Beauty pageants are *not* judged purely on appearance; there are multiple sections for talent performance, presenting a charity the contestant has been involved with, completing an interview, completing a sports event and actual modelling tasks. It's an all-round competition and the winners are celebrities in their own countries. You seem to have also ignored that this subject has gone on to an award-winning career post-pageantry. MurielMary (talk) 08:03, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is not at all true. We had a long lasting RfC discussion on beauty pageants, and an attempts to create a list of competitions that entering made people default notable was rejected. MurialMary's proposal is against community consensus.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:13, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-advertorialized article about a band whose notability claims are not reliably sourced. With the exception of four separate citations to the same non-notable webzine, this is otherwise referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all: the band's own PR materials, the social networking profiles of the band members, a Q&A interview in which they're speaking about themselves on a non-notable YouTube channel, and directly affiliated people's personal e-mail fan newsletters. As always, bands are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their self-published web presence verifies that they exist: they need to be the subject of real media coverage which verifies passage of a notability criterion, and are not exempted from that just because they're active on Facebook or ReverbNation or YouTube.

Stub article about a short film, with no actual notability claim besides existing and no actual evidence of reliable source coverage. As always, every film that exists is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because it has an IMDb page: the notability test for films requires evidence of critical or media attention and/or noteworthy awards, not just single-sourced verification of existence.

Props to Pinder's PR team for getting a handful of semi-reliable to reliable sources to republish the same press-release like puff pieces, repeatedly, about the same non-notable film. This article is nothing more than a puff piece/vanity spam and I seriously question the integrity of every single source that "reported" or mentioned his role in Chicago PD as being "significant" or "well known." I don't know if those are written by contributors or if they lack any fact checkers but I can find no real coverage of this role and even his own iMDb lists it as a completely insignificant, one time character, "Skateboard kid." All of the sources that have written about him are actually in this article, which doesn't leave me any hope that he is actually notable. More than half of the sources are about a film that isn't notable and are basically copied with a few words rearranged from the other.

A supposed ten minute long TV show, whose article has no sourcing. I could not find a single reliable source even mentioning this one at all, let alone establishing notability. The most I was able to find was an entry on IMDB, which of course is not a valid reliable source.

Rorshacma (talk) 15:40, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, your attempt at PRODing the article was not "contested". It was simply reverted because the article is ineligible for PRODing since it has already been the subject of a contested PROD in the past. Ben · Salvidrim!  07:13, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Doesn't mention what network it airs on" is not a rationale for deletion (especially since it's an unaired pilot); I'd encourage you to revise your !vote with an explanation of why you feel this article subject meets deletion criteria.

Heavily advertorialized biography of a person whose notability claims are not reliably sourced. Four of the five footnotes here are primary sources that do not count as support for notability at all, and the one that is a reliable source just glancingly mentions his name a couple of times in the process of being primarily about other people. (It's a dead link, but it was recoverable via Wayback.) And while there are two books being listed as "further reading" without being used as footnotes for anything, it's also unclear whether those books actually contain enough content about him to count toward getting him over GNG, or also just mention his name in passing. The article would have to be referenced better, and written more neutrally and objectively, than this to consider him notable enough for inclusion -- and the lack of an interlang link to the Malayalam Wikipedia, when his potential notability claim is specific to a Malayalam-speaking area, also implies a shortage of genuine notability.

Article about amateur footballer who has played 1 match in the fully-pro Hungarian first division 5 years ago. He's been playing in the amateur regional leagues ever since and the only non-routine online coverage from a source other than his former employer is a brief snippet in the Hungarian version of FourFourTwo that basically says he was viewed as a talented prospect for five years, but now his dream of professional football appears to have ended. There is long-standing consensus (e.g., Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phakamani Mngadi) that a minimal amount of play in a fully-pro league doesn't satisfy WP:NFOOTBALL when the article comprehensively fails WP:GNG as this article does.

Poorly referenced article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. Their only listed releases were demo cassettes, tracks on non-notable compilation albums and one 7" single, with no evidence of any full albums -- and the only other apparent notability claim here is that some of its members went on to become associated with more notable bands later on, but the "notability by membership" test in NMUSIC requires members who are independently notable as individuals, not just members who also get mentioned in other band articles without having earned their own standalone BLPs. And the only reference cited here at all is a deadlinked database entry in an unreliable source, not notability-supporting media coverage. Bearcat (talk) 15:00, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No claims to notability. First (Hourani) and third (Parwej) source don't even mention Issa, second source (forebears) has been repeatedly determined at WP:RSN to be unreliable in any case, and doesn't give notability as it is just a database of surnames, and final source (Sharja-e-Nasab) is a family tree for a different family.

Poorly written fork of South Sudanese Civil War, specifically sections 2.3 to 2.6. Confusingly, this article's scope appears to be about both the 2015 peace agreement and the 2018 peace agreement, but not the conflict that occurred between those dates. I definitely could see articles being written about those two peace accords individually, but lumping them together into one article as is the case here is not the way to go about doing that. While deletion is not cleanup, I think it would be less work to write brand new articles about these subjects (using content in South Sudanese Civil War as a starting point) rather than to try to adapt the material in this article into two new articles. signed, Rosguill talk 18:33, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Primary schools are not notable per WP:OUTCOMES. The passing mentions don't meet GNG IMO. Gbawden (talk) 07:15, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Whilst I fully agree that normally Primary schools would not be notable per WP:OUTCOMES, the notability is based not on the nature of the school, but rather the early adoption of desegregation, which in the context of South Africa education is notable, being one of very few schools and even fewer primary schools to have desegregated voluntarily.

This COI/UPE puff piece (though dating from before paid-editor disclosure became obligatory) has already been nominated three times for deletion, but not since the changes to our notability requirements for companies. The sources in the article do not demonstrate notability: the Daily Mail is deprecated as a source, and the brief mentions in the Observer and Which? do not add up to much. Nor do I find any independent in-depth coverage elsewhere: it gets many hits of the "get £15 cash back through Quidco" type on GNews, as expected as a part of its routine business; and a handful of passing mentions on GBooks.

I see no claim of notability. She fails both WP:GNG and/or WP:NPROF and/or WP:NARTIST.

Being the first African-American Woman to earn a PhD in physics from UCBerkeley, does not entitle to auto-notability. Specific stream; specific university....the more are the parameters, the less important is being the first one.

She was (at a minimum) the 69-th African-Woman woman to receive a PhD in physics from USA universities and the number falls very steeply, once the stream is dropped.

Her exhibitions have not received prominent coverage, either and the Smithsonian fellowship is a minor one. The coverage of her art-works in The Mercury News is typical mention of a town-event, that is going to be held and not a review. The East Bay Express is more of a PR-spam which has regurgitated her own words.WBGconverse 12:56, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • GNG specifies "significant coverage", which is a subjective bar. Consider that 2 local articles about a single event is less coverage than your average high school football coach gets in a lifetime. This also relates to WP:BLP1E and its appropriate to look at this as minimal, non-persistent coverage in local media about a single event. -- Netoholic @ 19:42, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Netoholic GNG is also cumulative. She is part of a Smithsonian article and her work is discussed in AAS Nova. There is no BLP1E here because there are multiple sources discussing different parts of her life. And comparing her contributions as an artist by to an "average high school football coach" is not relevant at all, so I'm not sure what you're trying to imply here. Winged Blades of Godric Why do you say "It's nice that you chose to evade the entire nomination...."? That feels a little pointed and I've not been rude here nor am I "evading". If an article passes GNG, that's enough. You don't need anything else. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 20:04, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cumulative, perhaps, but only within one area. The independent sources seem to take interest that she is into both art and astronomy... but you can't combine minimal coverage as an artist + minimal coverage as an post-doc astronomer + a sprinkle of a mention about how she was hired to Harvard and build a satisfying cake of "significance". I'd really hoped that interested editors would have found more sources rather than debate the scraps that we have. She is ultimately both a WP:Run-of-the-mill artist and a WP:Run-of-the-mill astronomy post-doc, and this is all WP:TOOSOON for either category. -- Netoholic @ 20:18, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why not, Netoholic? It's not about what she is being written up for: it's that she's being written up at all in multiple RS. That's all that matters. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 20:21, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • High school football coaches are written up in multiple RS, too. If you're relying on GNG, I think you have to pass the high school coach test. She's on a track that might get her there... but its just not true at the moment. -- Netoholic @ 20:29, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a musician notable primarily as a member of a band, and not adequately sourced as having his own standalone notability yet. As always, band members are not automatically entitled to have their own standalone articles as separate topics from the band just because their name shows up in coverage of the band -- to graduate from being mentioned in the band article to actually qualifying for his own standalone BLP separate from the band article, he would have to be fully retested against WP:NMUSIC criteria for independent solo activity outside of the band context. But of the eight footnotes here, five are about the band and thus aren't support for his own standalone notability; two of the three that are specifically about him rather than the band as a whole are from WordPress blogs rather than real reliable source media outlets; and the only source here that's both reliable and specifically about him, Complex, is just a short blurb in the context of releasing one single.
The existence of a couple of solo singles outside the band context is not an NMUSIC pass, however -- a musician who has only released singles can still occasionally get over NMUSIC if one of the songs cracks a national Top 40 chart, but absent an actual hit single he would have to release one or more solo albums for a standalone BLP to become justified. All of which means he does not yet have either the notability claim or the sourcing necessary to get his own article as a separate topic from the band. I also suspect a possible conflict of interest here, as the article was created by an editor who has never made a single edit to Wikipedia on any topic but Alistair Blu and his band.

No depth-of-coverage about this conference, just mentioned in the sources.

Hi! If Forbes sources aren't allowed, can replace with other non-Forbes sources covering eTail, will look now. All of the sources are actually covering the news that happened at eTail or takeaways from eTail, so they are all quite in-depth coverage. This also includes Cheddar's interviews from eTail. Some examples of sources: https://www.mytotalretail.com/video/single/4-key-takeaways-from-etail-west/ (4 Key Takeaways at eTail West) or https://www.claruscommerce.com/blog/etail-west-2019/ (eTail West 2019: A Very Human Experience).

The 7+ sources are used for references for the description: "eTail conferences feature lectures, panel discussions, workshops, meetings, interactive roundtable discussions, case study presentations, and Q&A sessions. eTail conferences are attended by retailers and lifestyle brands to discuss topics such as retail strategy, digital transformation, and customer experience." ckarayanndies Talk 15:25, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Futility Closet is notable, and this is a list of its episodes. The list contains links to the original podcasts and is a valuable resource for historians and recreational math students looking for the original material. Futility Closet has a lot of links within Wikipedia so it is of interest to many related topics.
User:Barkeep49 notes that "an attempt to redirect was reverted" What he does not mention is that this attempt was to simply change the page to a redirect without going through the deletion process. This seems sneaky to me and is definitely not the right way to delete a page.--Toploftical (talk) 16:17, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Toploftical the podcast is a part of the company. The company is notable. I am asserting that this part of the company is not independently notable. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:51, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies as I was on mobile before and didn't see the part about how we got here. Boldly redirecting something isn't sneaky, especially given my edit summary of Podcast does not appear to be notable. Since it is not notable a list of its episodes doesn't really pass WP:LISTN. Restoring redirect but is of course a form of soft deletion. In this instance as I found the article through New Page Patrol, I was simply following standard NPP procedure. When there was disagreement I brought the article here as a form of consensus building. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:31, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On 14 September 2017 User:Ronz deleted the entire contents of this page and replaced it with a redirect to Futility Closet.
On 23 April 2019 I (User:Toploftical) restored the entire list by simply reverting Ronz's edit.
On 24 April 2019 User:Barkeep49 reverted my edit taking it back to a redirect.
To Barkeep49: You say that you "found the article through New Page Patrol"   New Page Patrol?? What new page? The page has always been there. No new page has been created. I believe more than ever that this is an attempt to make an end-run around the standard deletion process.
Then you reintroduce the confusion between the parent article and the list stating above that "Boldly redirecting something isn't sneaky, especially given my edit summary of Podcast does not appear to be notable. Since it is not notable a list of its episodes doesn't really pass WP:LISTN." But, as I pointed out before, the podcast is notable as was established here:
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Futility Closet Podcast
You also seem to be trying to make a distinction between "the company" and the podcast when you say, "the podcast is a part of the company. The company is notable." What company? I thought that Futility Closet was the name of "the company". If the "company" is notable, where is the article about it? If the article Futility Closet is about the company, then your implication that the list inherits the non-notability of the parent article is nonsense.--Toploftical (talk) 15:54, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
When an article is created from a redirect is is considered a new article and enters the new page queue. So this is why when you recreated the article from a redirect it entered through the new page queue - see more at WP:NPPREDIRECT which also shows why what I did is not an end run around anything but rather part of a process which I was following. As noted at Futility Closet the company is not just a podcast it is "a blog, podcast, and database". So in my reading the company as a whole can be notable but not the podcast itself. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:07, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You say that in your reading "the company as a whole can be notable but not the podcast itself." In my reading the podcast and the company are synonymous. Which of us is the gets to be the official reader?

Apparently the data base exists to support the podcast and the blog. What are you saying: 1) the podcast is notable but the data base is not? 2) the data base is notable but the podcast is not? 3) the podcast and the database together are notable but neither is notable on its own? 4) The combination of podcast, data base, and blog together are notable but no subset of these three is. Seems like a nitpick to me. I expect you will say, "All three together are notable and that is why the previous attempt to delete the parent article was rejected; but the list of episodes is not notable because it is just about the podcast and the podcast is not notable."

You are worried about advertising. I just now picked a WP list at random: List of Game of Thrones characters. I suppose that list could be considered advertising. The show is still airing after all. I personally have no interest in this show and think that the list is silly. However, many people are interested in this topic and, because of that, I would strongly object to someone trying to delete it. (Are you going to try to delete that list, by the way?) Let us not even think about the thousands of WP pages devoted to Pokémon. Now that stuff is even sillier IMHO, but what harm does it do? (Sorry if I have offended any Pokemon fans).

I have no connection with Futility Closet. I do not much follow the "historical curiosities" part of the site (but many do). I come at it from the recreational mathematics side. Most recreational mathematicians follow Futility Closet and this list is a valuable resource for them. There are significant mathematical results that first saw the light of day in this podcast or blog.--Toploftical (talk) 22:13, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at WP:LISTN I see the statement, "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources." If by 'list topic' they mean the parent article (Futility Closet in this case) there are reliable sources such as Wired Magazine that have indeed recommended the podcast (this source is in fact cited in Futility Closet). I could cite others. I should also point out that many of the individual podcasts in the list are cited on various pages within WP. Finally, I note that the FC page gets about 200 hits a month. Does that make it notable?--Toploftical (talk) 20:28, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*Withdraw oppose Obviously the consensus is for delete. You have convinced me that this page violates official WP policy. I guess it is the underlying WP policy that I disagree with. Ah well, I tried. So sad to see it go.--Toploftical (talk) 22:15, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Since the deletion discussion was closed NPASR due to the removal of the USL Second Division from WP:FPL, I am renominating this article for deletion.

It is disputed that the player meets the criteria for footballers for playing in a fully-professional league, and it's further disputed that they meet the basic criteria for inclusion due to a lack of coverage in reliable sources despite being a contemporary player in English speaking nations.

I am also bundling the other 8 under the same rationale:

There is no need to unbundle - we routinely assess GNG in bundles for similar subjects - in this case a bunch of USL D2 players who received nothing close to SIGCOV. Icewhiz (talk) 09:26, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
True that NFOOTY was not mentioned by GiantSnowman, so I collapsed that bit.
  • Passing NFOOTY is of no significance if SIGCOV does is shown not to exist - NFOOTY is merely a presumption of coverage, nothing more. The nominations were entirely correct - as SIGCOV did not exist for any of them. "Keep by NFOOTY" !voted are not policy based (and in particular not so when they are based on the WP:FPL essay which has no policy standing what so ever). A "keep by NFOOTY" !vote may have some merit for a 1950s era player for which many sources aren't available online - for subjects for which it is clearly evident that there are no sources (given that most sources possibly covering should be online) - it is a specious !vote. Articles on non-notable subjects should not be created to being with. There is no need to unbundle - we routinely assess GNG in bundles for similar subjects - in this case a bunch of USL D2 players who received nothing close to SIGCOV. Icewhiz (talk) 09:26, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Re-read what I said. Where did I mention NFOOTBALL? If the articles were nominated separately then I would likely !vote 'delete', but based on the length of discussions on the previous AFDs, that x 8 here would be a nightmare. What's the rush in getting these deleted? Take your time and do it properly. GiantSnowman 09:42, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I bundled the discussions because my BEFORE searches convinced me the likelihood of any sources turning up to be somewhere between "unlikely" and "snowball in hell". If I am pleasantly surprised, I'll be more than happy to strike any for nomination where sources did turn up, but I think it's premature until that happens. Alpha3031 (tc) 13:23, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: There seems to be an initial series of procedural keep votes based on a fear that this AfD would become very complicated with editors arguing that so-and-so meets GNG but so-and-so doesn't. That has demonstrably not happened. Furthermore, bar one nebulous comment from one editor that they "found some coverage" on one of the players and another late comment that these players are "of varying individual notability", there has been nothing provided by any editor to support GNG for any of these players to even the lowest level.

I initially closed a number of these as no consensus for the reason that changes in consensus on the level of full professionalism in the league in question part way through the AfD had meant a number of editors who had initial commented might have reason to change their opinions and that the chance should be given for them to do so.

To my mind, following AfDs lasting several weeks, there is consensus that NFOOTY is not satisfied and nothing has been presented that comes close to satisfying GNG for any players. The keep votes currently have no merit because the predicted chaos has not occurred, whilst the delete votes reiterate the same arguments from the previous discussions.

It's time editor's voting keep either put up or shut up and show GNG if they can for any other these articles. If that is not forthcoming and no other admin takes action, I am inclined to close this discussion as Delete all, as the delete votes are the only ones currently with any validity.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Fenix down (talk) 08:45, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Put up or shut up is a common turn of phrase. Fenix down (talk) 10:31, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
FD, your comments are wholly inappropriate, and consensus is clearly that the articles should be kept and individually relisted so that GNG can be explored in detail. GiantSnowman 14:10, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe they are, not just because it is only 5-3 in favour of a procedural keep - hardly "clearly", but more importantly that the procedural keep was on the basis that there would be chaos created by people voting to keep some and delete some. This has not happened, my assessment therefore of the keep votes is that they are weak. The stronger arguments are in favour of deletion and I have relisted to encourage editors to actually engage with discussion around GNG. It would be helpful if someone like yourself could indicate some sources that suggest GNG for a number of these players to show that it would be best to close and nominate individually. The simple fact that you don't like a bundled nomination is not a sufficient reason in itself, you need to show why it would be better to close and renom individually. Where are the sources that would show this to be a worthwhile exercise? This has been going on for weeks now so I am presuming that you and / or other editors have found some? I'm not sure why no one has actually presented any evidence to support their views. Fenix down (talk) 14:36, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is the reason why I relisted the AfD, we have had weeks of discussion around these player individually beforehand as well as now. Simply saying "keep" because there is more than one nomination is not a reasonable argument. Repeatedly over a number of weeks editors have stated that these players are not notable per GNG, I am giving those who are voting "procedural keep" one last chance to provide evidence of notability for any of these players.

Promotional article on non-notable author. He has actually written only one book, and the evidence that it's a best seller is its amazon rank, which is unreliable.

The article makes claims for him as an educator, but he's only been an adjunct in individual courses.

Deleted 4 years ago. Recreated two years ago by a WP:SPA (clearly the usual fly-by-night undisclosed PAID editor; whose draft on that topic was declined and deleted, but then he presumably just created this in the mainspace; ping draft reviewers(?) User:Robert McClenon, User:Randykitty, User:1989). I've asked for comments on talk two years ago, nobody replied, the article hasn't improved and IMHO still fails WP:NCORP. Coverage is limited to reprinted press-releases (about funding/etc.); a few mentions in passing (the BBC piece is the best, but it is still effectively just a few sentences, mostly WP:INTERVIEW). WP:BEFORE check for new sources reveals nothing but a few newer press releases, like about their recent expansion into Dutch territories. WP:NOTYELLOWPAGES, WP:CORPSPAM, and NCORP fail.

Models.com can be reliable for things like their Top 50 lists that they update somewhat frequently. The problem is, with articles like this (with most articles actually), models.com is just thrown in the infobox as a reference for what modeling agencies they are signed to because the agencies themselves would be primary sources. That doesn’t really offer anything of value. But really, both websites only offer aggregations of content not always taken from a reliable source. Models.com rarely if ever properly attributes where they got images from or sometimes take directly from social media. Fashion Model Directory is called “the IMDb of fashion” for a reason. They also don’t update their website enough (a lot of models are missing years of work). So no, two directories by themselves are not reliable sources.

Essentially a one-note defunct advocacy group that was mildly newsworthy for losing a lawsuit in state court. I searched the usual Google suspects as well as Newspapers.com and found a smattering of mostly contemporary reporting about the lawsuit, with nothing about it since the suit ended in 2001 - so it's clear the suit had no WP:LASTING effects. There was one book source published in 2008 that mentioned the group sporadically in conjunction with other similar groups ([35]), but I wouldn't call it in-depth coverage.

Any other appearances I've found have been mentions of them in quotes, on the lines of "John Smith of Missionaries to the Unborn said XYV."

I don't think it's enough to maintain an article, and it's not suitable for a merge to Anti-abortion violence (no direct violence) or United States anti-abortion movement (would be WP:UNDUE in a broad-coverage article like that). ♠PMC(talk) 01:06, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. There simply isn't an agreement as to whether the article's subject meets notability threshold/s. I do, however, note that several preferences to keep were weak keeps, which leads me to believe the article is, indeed, borderline-notable. Which is why the likelihood for consensus seems so remote. I, as well, note with regret all the bad blood that the entire Jesswade88 saga has brought to the fore. Hopefully, strong adherence to assumptions of good faith and civil discourse could see the community through this relatively unscathed. I still have hope. El_C 03:53, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does not pass NPROF or GNG. She's an assistant professor, her h-index is 13, and she hasn't won any major awards. From what I can tell, Tuttle was appointed as the lead for the Hobby–Eberly Telescope's VIRUS detector. is incorrect. One source linked to that lists her as a "former co-PI" under a PI and alongside two other co-PIs. The other is her describing what she's going to talk about when she gave a seminar (as is very common in academia), but doesn't say anything about her being a lead of this project or what her role was at all. The next claim, She is leading a spectrography project for the Apache Point Observatory. is very vague, ("a" spectrography project?) and is sourced to an interview. Her being a guest on a podcast while a graduate student is not at all notable. And the final claim Tuttle contributed to American Astronomical Society workshops and supported new guidelines to build a more diverse and inclusive environment is cited to two things that she herself wrote.

Maybe that is because more of them are created that would fail notability?Slatersteven (talk) 12:19, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But more of them aren't created. We have 18% women bios and 82% men bios. Do you think of all the notable people in the world, 82% are men? Or 50% are men? That's how we know either our policies, or our execution, or both, is way off. Levivich 20:06, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do you really think that 50% of all notable people are women? I suppose if you're a man you may have never noticed that notable men have outnumbered notable women for all of history. Natureium (talk) 20:10, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, or close to it. "Notable" does not mean "well-known". It's not about fame, it's about whether the person is worth noting, not whether they are noted. (It's notable not noted.) Show me a notable man, I'll show you a notable woman or two. We could play that game all night. For the rest of our lives, even. The difference is that history mostly recorded the notable men; that doesn't mean notable women didn't exist. And it's a whole 'nother ballgame when we're talking about BLPs, like the one at issue, where we don't have to correct history's biases, we just need to avoid perpetuating biases of our own. Levivich 20:25, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Show me a notable man, I'll show you a notable woman or two. This seems to be only a theory on your part, what makes you think it is factual? Let's say we had an encyclopedia of inventors of "notable" inventions. Would you expect there to be as many women as men? You may feel there should be, or if everything else were equal there would be, but that does not make it a fact. This is like saying that because more African Americans are incarcerated proportional to their population that they must be being discriminated against - I believe they are being so but not because of the difference in representation alone - they may simply commit more crimes. Men may simply make more inventions, or write more impactful books, or whatever. What you have is a theory that things are actually otherwise but no evidence. —DIYeditor (talk) 06:48, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Johnbod The majority of new creations on scientists are women?? Let's look at some example from User:AlexNewArtBot/MathSearchResult (as an example, as it often includes scientists in other disciplines and since there doesn't appear to be a comprehensive listing of new articles on all of the sciences in one place).
  • May 2: After eliminating 2 non-scientists, we have 2 women and 2 men.
  • May 1: 1 woman and 3 men.
  • April 30: 1 man.
  • April 29: 1 man.
  • April 28: 1 woman and 5 men.
  • April 27: 1 non-scientist.
  • April 26: 3 non-scientists.
  • April 25: 2 non-scientists.
  • April 24: 1 non-scientist, 1 man.
  • April 23: 3 non-scientists.
  • April 22: 1 man.
  • April 21: 2 non-scientists, 1 man.
  • April 20: 1 woman, 1 man.
So at least recently we have a total of 5 women and 15 men, around 25%. This is better than the 18% ratio among current Wikipedia biographies, worse than the 35% ratio of women to men among recent academic deletion discussions (hence my assertion that women are far more likely than men to be taken to deletion discussion) and far far from a majority. I suspect you have fallen prey to the standard "see any noticable representation of women at all and think that it is a majority" fallacy. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:51, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, but it could be that I look more at AFD lists and WIR talk than the rather unreliable/imprecise bot lists (for example Nia Imara probably appears as an artist). I'm also certainly influenced by my annual survey of whether new FRS's already have WP articles when the news is announced. For the 2nd year running, women are much more likely to already have articles than men. I'll be writing this up soon. Johnbod (talk) 18:00, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That seems to be only mathematicians, and according to a quick google search, 15% of tenure-track mathematicians are female, so even 25% seems high. I think if you picked a different category, there would be more biographies of women being created. Natureium (talk) 17:57, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like you don't understand notability then. Journalists don't have anything to do with this. The standards that apply here are:
  1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.
  2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.
  3. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the IEEE).[1]
  4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.
  5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.
  6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.
  7. The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.
  8. The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area.

Of course, it is often the easiest way to establish notability, but it is not the only way.Slatersteven (talk) 16:13, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose that's true. Essentially, a journalist could make someone more notable, but not less notable. If they fulfill those criteria, they're notable even if journalists ignore them entirely. It would make for a pretty short article though. Natureium (talk) 16:25, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Which is a problem, but not one for here.Slatersteven (talk) 16:28, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Disingenuous again. By far the most common factoid used to establish notability is an article in some kind of publication. But science articles are not considered "reliable". For example, this paper [2] "reviews the main progress in the last decade" and cites one of Tuttle's papers. Why is that not "significant impact in their scholarly discipline'? 134.174.140.104 (talk) 17:56, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We can use books, as to the paper, I do not have access to it so cannot say, but only citing one paper, no that would not be a significant impact. Hell there are plenty of notable scientists, its not as if we have no articles on any.Slatersteven (talk) 18:06, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seconding Lepricavark. I've not voted on this particular AFD for a reason - I don't know the first thing about science (I've never worked so hard in my life as for that C in geology freshman year). But I find the sort of attitude expressed in this comment troubling. Yes, the gender gap exists...and yes, we need to do everything we can to reduce/eliminate it. But an article must be able to stand on its own merits, whatever the subject. If it cannot do so, it should be deleted...whatever the subject. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:41, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Here's what really frustrates me. Contrary to the assertions made by several editors in this thread (and Sarah Tuttle herself on Twitter), there is no evidence of anyone !voting delete here simply because the subject is a woman. On the contrary, several editors have very plainly !voted keep because the subject is a woman. Furthermore, there is an editor (Netoholic) currently hauled before the kangaroo court of ANI for over-zealousness in pursuing the deletion of articles that happened to be about women. If the articles were not about women, there is almost zero chance that Netoholic would be facing the kind of sanctions that he is facing. Yes, there is a problem of gender disparity on Wikipedia, but some of the editors fighting that problem have also resorted to fighting good faith editors who do not need to be fought. Unwarranted complaints of "institutional misogyny" have a chilling effect upon good-faith contributors who do not want such rhetoric directed at them. Part of me would like to get involved in the task of improving articles about women. I'm not a great article writer, but I would be glad to offer my WikiGnoming skills. But I'm not sure it's worth it. Lepricavark (talk) 01:20, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You have no idea how much Michaelbusch's statement sets me off. The article stands on its own merit or not. That is all I'm considering.

While a few personal attacks have been lobbed by a minority of editors, the majority of discussion around closing WP's gender gap has been about Systemic bias. Those derailing the conversation by publicly hand-wringing that they can't get involved in anything to do with women for fear of being attacked are enacting a derailing tactic (in anti-racist work, the corresponding tactic is called white women's tears, but I'm not sure anti-misogyny work has coined an equivalent term). Yes, I agree that we can and should discuss here without personal attacks; we can also do it without editors performatively claiming that the Big Bad Feminists are hurting their feelings. --nonmodernist (talk) 12:02, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I would argue that the conversation is derailed by the editors who make the baseless accusations of sexism and misogyny, not the editors who complain about the baseless accusations of sexism and misogyny.

Arbitrary break[edit]

Fast forward to today, more than a decade later, and you have a lot of the active users unaware that this is the history. And the history is important because, crucially, there are other problems that Wikipedia faces that are not addressed by this simple fix. A particular one is WP:BIAS which applies not only to geographical and language-related biases but also documented historical biases in the way sources were created. The community has consistently argued that it is a laudable goal to overcome such biases, thus WP:Women in Red is a celebrated collaboration and not one that has been shut down. The goal is to push content in the direction of inclusion to combat some of the problems that are inherent in the structure.
The argument for a few might be that Wikipedia should not right great wrongs. I think that this is not a good argument. Wikipedia is, for better or worse, a top-ten website and is in a position to move the needle in the world. Now you might not think that the coverage of women scientists deserves fixing in the real world. I strongly do. I am going to fight for this to be done and I would encourage the community to adopt the cause.
The best way to do this would be to adopt something similar to strict scrutiny when it comes to discussions such as this. The main goal of Wikipedia should be to provide reliable content on certain topics and not to act as a gatekeeper. Is there a compelling interest served to delete this content? No. In fact there is demonstrable perpetuation of harm in so doing. So don't do it.

@ජපස: would you support amending NPROF-C1 to include membership in groups shown to have "pioneered or developed a significant new concept, technique or idea, made a significant discovery or solved a major problem in their academic discipline"? Major advances are rarely attributable solely to individuals, and haven't been for at least a century. The NPROF-C1 criterion requirement that we have to prove that a singular "person" is responsible for an advance prevents a large proportion of the most prestigious award-winners from meeting it. It's not uncommon for breakthrough papers to have more than a dozen authors, and for good reason. Will you join the cause to allow Wikipedia to recognize achievements of collective efforts? EllenCT (talk) 19:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You are absolutely right that the current NPROF guideline relies on a great man theory in a way that is more than a little problematic. Perhaps better to remove C1 entirely? I think we really need to provide more general guidance for combatting WP:BIAS in notability discussions. Perhaps a guideline such as WP:STRICT SCRUTINY or something where we say, all else being equal, recognize that historic biases can influence the appearance of notability as it has been leveled at this website. While Wikipedia has a default to keep option, with WP:BLP this often goes the other way for protection reasons (to good effect often, but it's variable as can be seen in situations such as this). Perhaps we should talk about this in a different venue, though. jps (talk) 19:12, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@ජපස: thank you. I copied our last two paragraphs over to Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics)#Criteria 1 recognition of collaborative achievements where I'm going to let it simmer while thinking it over. EllenCT (talk) 23:01, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree with the claim that astrophysics is noticed less than other disciplines. In my experience of science AfDs I have found astrophysics to be a highly cited field, as much as computer science or biomed. It depends on the quality of the papers of course.

No vote should be based on alleged user actions, or intentions or in casting aspersions. Any such vote is a personal attack and should be struck. We are here to discus the notability of the subject, not other editors.Slatersteven (talk) 09:08, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • If we'd agree that the section entitled "research and career" is where the claims to notability are, then it should be easy to verify notability from the statements and sources in that section. So let's do that:
  • Tuttle's research applies novel hardware approaches to spectrograph instrumentation design, particularly aimed to isolate star formation regulation in galaxies through emission and infall from the interstellar medium cited to University of Washington. Sounds good, except that the claim is in her own words, i.e. "I am". Not suitable for notability as the claim is not independent of the subject. No matter, there's much more in that section.
  • During her Ph.D. at Columbia, Tuttle designed the spectrograph for FIREBall, a balloon-borne telescope that is coupled to an ultraviolet spectrograph and designed to discover the intergalactic medium (IGM) in emission. - cited to Stratocat.ar and an article published in SPIE and co-authored by Tuttle. The first source does not mention her, the second is co-written by her. Again, not suitable because not verifiable and/or not independent of the subject.
  • The FIREBall spectrograph built by Tuttle was the world's first fiber fed ultraviolet spectrograph and placed upper constraints on IGM emission - cited to two articles published in SPIE and both co-authored by the subject. Not suitable cause not independent.
  • Tuttle served as the lead for the Hobby–Eberly Telescope's VIRUS detector from 2010 until 2012, where she prototyped, finalized and characterized the VIRUS spectrograph would be a claim to notability. However it is cited to 1. her resume, 2. National Science Foundation, which lists her as a former co-principal investigator for VIRUS2, but nothing about her involvement in VIRUS and 3. A speech presented by Sarah Tuttle herself. Not to mention, anything I find on VIRUS puts Gary Hill and Phillip McQueen front and centre. E.g. HETDEX itself. I can't find anything that even mentions Tuttle.
  • As of May 2019, Tuttle was leading the recommissioning of the KOSMOS spectrograph for the Apache Point Observatory, an instrument originally stationed at Kitt Peak Observatory - cited to University of Washington which doesn't mention KOSMOS or Kitt Peak Observatory but is also in her own words again, and also to an article published in AAS that is co-authored by Tuttle. Not suitable because source 1 fails to meet verifiability and is not independent of the subject, and source 2 is not independent of the subject.
  • Furthermore, she is leading a team in building a new spectrograph for the Apache Point Observatory 3.5m Telescope. - Repeating the previous sentence with the same source, so I've removed it.
  • That's nearly it. The last paragraph mentions appearances on a podcast and articles she's authored. Nothing notable.
  • In 2014, the National Academy of Sciences honored her as a Kavli Fellow - Doesn't appear significant, two hundred thirty-seven other people were as well. Maybe this meets NPROF #3, but it doesn't look at all like the Kavli Fellowship is a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor when it hands the same honour to 237 other people the same year.
  • I can't pull this anyway to meet GNG or NPROF. That's why I've put those two questions up. Make a claim to notability with an independent source that mentions the subject, because I can't find one in the article or online (I spent an hour on VIRUS alone). Mr rnddude (talk) 07:46, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, That is the point. sources still DO NOT meet WP:SIGCOV. User:Mr rnddude, one of the project's most experienced and fairminded editors, assessed the page on May 7, stating "*I can't pull this anyway to meet GNG or NPROF.... Make a claim to notability with an independent source that mentions the subject, because I can't find one in the article or online." I an many other experienced editos agree with his asessment. No sources have been added since User:Mr rnddude's asessment. What the more expeienced editors on the page agree on is that a subject has to meet WP:GNG, and this one doesn't.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:56, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I an editor of equal fairmindedness and experience, unless my clean record, 13 years and 17,000 article edits don't qualify me as such. Perhaps you can tell me how many years of experience qualify one as "experienced enough for their vote to count at an AFD discussion". I have read the same sources, and arrived at a different conclusion. In my assessment, the threshold set out by GNG has been met. --Jayron32 16:29, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd be thrilled to be able to !vote to keep in good faith (I'm very far on the inclusion side, especially for academics), I just don't see the sources. Could you point to the two or three sources you see as meeting the requirements of WP:N? Thanks! Hobit (talk) 19:32, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure. I will give a representative, and not exhaustive, number of sources that indicate that people outside of Wikipedia have considered her and her work notable. here is she is part of a panel assembled by the Seattle Times newspaper as part of a panel of astronomy experts. She wrote a guest column here, which is cited later by Forbes (see below), and here you can see one of her articles in the journal Nature was specifically cited for inclusion in a series they did on Women in Astronomy. Her research on gender bias in astronomy, as published in Nature and other places, is cited here in Forbes. These citations, references, and discussions by others (again, I picked some random ones. There's more there. These are representative, not exhaustive), coupled with her various publications and awards, for me is over the threshold. --Jayron32 19:48, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
One of the ways we, as a society, have attempted to redress gender inequality is by producing special eitions focused on women in science. The idea, to give role models to schoolgirls, is a positive one. (A better approach might be to train and pay for math teachers, but I digress.) Another approach is to always make sure to put a woman or several women on comittees, panels, boards of overseers, and so forth. Exhausting for highly qualified women who must serve on what feels like too many committees, but, again, a good idea. What is true, however, is that in certain fields there are so few women that the committees must be filled out with women who are not as accomplished as their fellow panelists/committtee members. It's real, and it's a reason not to equate member of a panel with notable accomplishment.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:38, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What in Earth does any of that have to do with this article? You've gone into the Chewbacca defense here and I'm not even sure how to respond. Not that you care, I'm sure, but your walls of rambling text will have zero bearing on how the closing admin assess this consensus. Your non-sequitur diatribe will have no bearing on the outcome of this discussion, but I'm sure it made you feel good.--Jayron32 03:24, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure why you are making the distinction as to the reasons why someone would be appointed to a panel or committee. To me, if such a panel would be notable for a man who was sufficiently qualified, it is notable that a woman was appointed to it for any reason. Or if such a panel simply does not contribute to notability, the gender issue (or affirmative action, qualifications, etc.) are just a tangent irrelevant to this discussion. —DIYeditor (talk) 22:54, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Panelists are chosen for many reasons. Being on a panel is not among our usual metrics of notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:44, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Are you really suggesting that we take men more seriously as panelists than women? Because thats the only possible interpretation I can make of "What is true, however, is that in certain fields there are so few women that the committees must be filled out with women who are not as accomplished as their fellow panelists/committtee members. It's real, and it's a reason not to equate member of a panel with notable accomplishment.” Perhaps I am mistaken? Horse Eye Jack (talk) 02:46, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. We normally don't take sources that are written by the subject or just cite their work. But I do tend to think that's somewhat wrongheaded. I'd say she doesn't meet our traditional sense of inclusion, but I'd be fairly pleased if we extended that sense for academics to sources like you're suggesting. I may start an RfC at WP:BIO on the issue. Hobit (talk) 20:01, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
