Why the page should be deleted The nominator edited Holborn and St Pancras (UK Parliament constituency) to wikilink the Brexit Party candidate, Hector Birchwood. I reverted as no such article existed. The editor then created the article on Hector Birchwood and restored the link. The article is unreferenced and appears to have been created by the candidate or an associate of his to support his candidacy. Dudley Miles (talk) 00:09, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

>>> I created the article by clicking on the link I created. That's how Wikimedia sites work. Inevitable there is a short period when there is no contents as I write what I know and can find out. I've now added multiple references to the page too, so it is not unreferenced.

Hector Birchwood is quite a well known figure due to his repeated appearances on the Heir Hunters TV programme, extending over some years.

Inevitably if someone is a candidate it is going to have things about that candidate on it.

His adoption as a political candidate makes him intrinsically a more interesting subject and his work in discovering missing heirs is surely relevant and makes him a person of interest. Palfreman (talk) 09:17, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

>>> I've added eight references, covering student activism, his career, Heir Hunters and being appointed Brexit Party candidate.

Obviously he is more of interest as an electoral candidate, but being one of the top private investigators in world in his field and TV appearances do make him interesting independently of his candidacy. Palfreman (talk) 10:00, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, without prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he wins the seat. As always, being a candidate in an election the person has not already won is not a notability claim that gets a person into Wikipedia in and of itself — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. But the sources shown here are not mounting a credible claim that he had preexisting notability for any reason that would have gotten him an article independently of the candidacy: four of the eight footnotes are blogs, which are not reliable or notability-supporting sources at all; three of the four media hits tangentially verify stray facts about other people without ever mentioning Hector's name at all in conjunction with them; and he is not himself the subject of the only reliable source that actually mentions his name at all, but is merely a provider of soundbite in an article about something else. This is not the kind of sourcing it takes to demonstrate that he was notable enough for an article prior to running as a candidate for political office, so he still has to win the election before he gets to claim notability as a politician.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:ENT: A large portion of this article was a copyvio of a piece in The Newsgayper which to me seems clearly promotional.[1] (The site prominently displays a "get featured" banner for user-submitted self-promotion) The article has many other references, but none of them are in-depth, independent and reliable. They're namedrops in the society or gossip columns of gay newspapers, ads for his adult-entertainment parties, promotional industry news and press releases on porn websites, and other assorted unreliable sources. (Please note that the majority of these are NSFW.) I looked for additional sources and found only one profile in his local gay newspaper:[2].Another person calling himself "Christian de Medici", similarly involved with gay nightclubs and promoting a prospective reality show, received news coverage in 2010-2013 for scamming, run-ins with the law, and an eventual manhunt by police--but these are clearly different people.

• Strong and snow keep, this is the first international version of the hugely successful RuPaul’s DragCon series, each of witch annually attracts 100,000 attendees and are the world’s largest drag queen events.
  
  This event is also produced by the same company and will be hosted by its namesake RuPaul, the world’s most famous drag queen.
  
  Already confirmed are at least two dozen of the world’s most famous drag queens.
  
  Even if the event was cancelled the episode would generate rounds of media coverage. And we would want to preserve the content somewhere.
  
  And I think the nominator may have failed WP:Before by 1.) not looking for any alternative; and 2.) not looking hard enough for reliable sourcing. Gleeanon409 (talk) 11:51, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Draftify until closer to the event per WP:CRYSTAL. There's already some good early RS (see [4] for example), but it's a bit premature to meet WP:SIGCOV. The event will get lots of coverage come January, and the article can be moved to main space then once it has been referenced properly. @Gleeanon409: Invoking snow is not appropriate in this case because of wikipedia's policy regarding future events. I could find only one independent article in a pretty thorough search (the rest were sources affiliated with World of Wonder or were press releases by World of Wonder). I would imagine some more RS will unfold by the end of December/ early January. You should prune the article of primary sources in draft space and work with independent references as they emerge. Once you have three or four substantial references that are independent of the subject we could move it into main space. I have no doubt that you will be successful given some time which is why I am recommending draftifying the article so you don't lose your hard work.4meter4 (talk) 21:24, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • By my count there’s already five. And WP:Crystal says, “All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred.” Both of those are easily met. Gleeanon409 (talk) 22:26, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gleeanon409: Please provide the 5 articles here, so I can give you a thoughtful response.

• Draftify or Delete, per 4meter4's arguments above. A lot of the information on the page and the sourcing is only tangentially related and seems more of an essay issue than about the subject. See WP:NOTESSAY. In fact, of the info I removed (and which Gleeanon409 seems to be adding back), the sources don't even mention DragCon UK, much less cover it in depth. I would strongly encourage Gleeanon409 to leave the cruft out rather than adding it back, as the article looks more like an essay than coverage of the actual subject. --Kbabej (talk) 22:36, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I accept that someone who has not read potentially *every* reliable subject on RuPaul’s DragCons would feel that way, it’s a niche subject granted. But in actually reading those sources including interviews it’s obvious that the aspects you deleted—-about DragCons being a special space outside bars/clubs: where fans can intentionally meet and talk with the drag queens they admire, if even for only ten minutes; where LGBTQ children have a safe space to be themselves—-are universal to RuPaul’s DragCons, of which this is one. There is exactly zero reasons to believe this DragCon will Be fundamentally different than the other two. And you non-helpful suggestion that that info simply be sent to the parent article would be welcome if such an article existed, it does not. I wrote the other two DragCon articles, this is why I’m familiar with the content, and sourcing. Gleeanon409 (talk) 22:50, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But here's the thing: This article isn't the catch-all about how "DragCons being a special space outside bars/clubs: where fans can intentionally meet and talk with the drag queens they admire, if even for only ten minutes; where LGBTQ children have a safe space to be themselves." This article is about DragRace UK. You have no idea if DRUK is going to be that kind of space, because A. It hasn't happened yet, and B. No RS has stated that. Did you even review WP:NOTESSAY? It seems WP:NOTOPINION might be relevant as well. --Kbabej (talk) 22:56, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, interesting to note, I stated "Again, this is not about DragCon UK. This could potentially be used on the RuPaul's DragCon NYC however" on an edit of removing tangentially related info. You stated, "And you non-helpful suggestion that that info simply be sent to the parent article would be welcome if such an article existed, it does not." In fact, it does, considering you lifted the exact section from DracCon NYC, as seen here. --Kbabej (talk) 23:05, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I attributed the content to that article, which you are now attacking. Gleeanon409 (talk) 23:19, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry you feel I am attacking the NYC article. The issues you have with my edits can be brought up at the article's talk page here. The issue is the same, however: You're writing an essay, which would be great for a magazine piece. Unfortunately, RS don't support what you're positing; NYC (and, on this thread, UK) weren't even mentioned. --Kbabej (talk) 23:23, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The content is solely about the interaction of drag queens with children which happens in rare circumstances except...at DragCons. I hope you can see the connection. Gleeanon409 (talk) 23:42, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But it's a tenuous connection that you're making, not that RS are reporting on. One could just as easily use sources to write an essay claiming drag queen culture is harmful to children (and there are those sources out there; see here and here for example). Does that make sense? --Kbabej (talk) 23:47, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tenuous? Have you seen Nina West’s Drag is Magic, Drag Kids, and Desmond is Amazing? There are more but Drag Race In 2009 started mainstreaming drag queens and an audience for the show turned out to be LGBTQ kids who identified with the queens. A significant percentage of DragCon attendees are minors, I believe under 13’s have to be accompanied by an adult. The reliable sources, that you deleted, do make that connection, and I have yet to see any reliable ones even suggest that the culture of drag queens harms children. Although right-wing sites that generally attack LGBTQ people sure would like you to believe so. I checked out those sources you suggest, neither is WP:Reliable. Gleeanon409 (talk) 00:08, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't seem as if you're receptive to others' thoughts regarding this (and related) articles. The fact of the matter is, none of the sources you used in those sections even mention the topic, much less cover it in depth. It seems you're wanting to write an essay on children involved in the drag community; this article is not the place for it. A simple way to look at a source: does it cover the subject? No? Then it probably doesn't belong on the page. I hope that's helpful. --Kbabej (talk) 00:21, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The issue we seem to greatly differ on is if DragCon is noted in reliable sources as an event where drag queens and children celebrate drag culture together. I feel you’re working to remove perfectly apt content that would certainly belong in a good article about DragCon, others may disagree. Gleeanon409 (talk) 01:08, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gleeanon409, I think you are completely missing/ not comprehending what other people are telling you. If you have an article about family/children content at Drag Con UK then that content would be welcome on the page of this article. However, those source are not about Drag Con UK, so that content does not belong in this particular article. You could have that content on the other Drag Con pages (such as RuPaul's DragCon NYC) which those article are referring to. You've got to stick to what is in the sources being cited and not make assumptions beyond the sources.4meter4 (talk) 17:43, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And what you are completely missing is that the DragCons are the largest events of their kind by far, ten times the size as the next closest. And the exact same company is putting on this one as well with zero evidence that it will vary except by location. This is a corporation expanding with a new outlet, also in an English-speaking country with what by every appearance is the same formula.

The removed content referred to DragCons not specific to one city. And frankly, that both the NYC and LA DragCon articles exist should be evidence that a UK one is indeed appropriate and satisfies the WP:Crystal concerns. Gleeanon409 (talk) 23:06, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. I've actually been to Drag Con in LA and NYC so I think I can safely say they aren't exactly the same from first hand experience, and I started watching the show when it first started on LOGO. LA has a much bigger family/kid oriented portion to it than the NYC Con for example. I'm a big fan. Regardless, I don't have to present evidence that something will be different because we don't have to prove things in the negative here at AFD. As I stated above, you have to base your article on the sources and what they say, and prove that there is enough RS to make a quality article. I am just not seeing enough RS yet for this event to meet WP:SIGCOV. We have to follow policy at WP:CRYSTAL. I know that eventually there will be enough sources for this event, which is why I am supporting draftify over delete. Be patient. Once some more reporting is done on the event you can move it into main space.4meter4 (talk) 00:15, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That level of detail isn’t discussed in any of the articles as the sources haven’t given it. But it’s fairly ridiculous to pretend that they will have have their signature Kids Zone and yet content about drag queens and kids isn’t appropriate. The article as is, even chopped down, is still fully reliably sourced, all verifiable, and perfectly appropriate as a stub. Gleeanon409 (talk) 00:38, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: The following sources on the page don't even mention the subject: The Guardian piece by Amelia Abraham, cited three times; the Out In Jersey piece by Michael Cook; the Herald Publicist piece by Roshan; the Out piece by Mikelle Street; and The Economist piece. --Kbabej (talk) 00:34, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would much rather have all content verifiable and sourced. Gleeanon409 (talk) 01:08, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gleeanon409: I think you are having a difficult time taking a step back and keeping a neutral point of view. Firstly. Drag Con LA looks a bit different than Drag Con NYC, and surely Drag Con UK will have its own different flavor as well. You can't assume that something that is true for one Drag Con will be true about another Drag Con. Each country's or city's laws and culture are different, and Drag Con will reflect that. For that reason, you can't use articles from or about another Drag Con to cite claims in an article about this Drag Con, because that is a big assumption going beyond what those sources are actually saying. Even if you think these things are likely true in the real world, wikipedia is not interested in what is true but what is "verifiably true". You are making a lot of assumptions that are just not provable based on the sources. Further, you can't use self published sources by VH1 or World of Wonder or its affiliates because they are primary sources or sources too closely connected to the subject. This might be frustrating, but it's a reality.4meter4 (talk) 17:24, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I didn’t add those two sources and have removed them as WP:Primary. Gleeanon409 (talk) 23:06, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gleeanon409:Thank you. Also, WP:BLOGS says that we can't use blogs as sources, so "RuPaul's DragCon UK Was Just Announced!". can't be used either. Further, none of the content in How Drag Went Mainstream is about DragCon in the UK or the United States. DragWorld is a completely different convention not associated with World of Wonder or Drag Race, although many Drag Race alum participate. You should remove all of that content, because it is totally not congruent with what is in the article. Additionally, WP:PRSOURCE says we can not use press releases as sources, which means you cannot use RuPaul's DragCon UK: Vanessa Vanjie Mateo, Shea Coulee and more join lineup or RuPaul's DragCon UK at London's Olympia - how to get tickets, lineup and more or New York City welcomes RuPaul’s DragCon NYC or Yaaas! RuPaul’s DragCon is officially coming to the UK – here’s how to get tickets or Everything You Need to Know About RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.

(Outdent) Wp:blogs says that they can be unreliable at times. Similarly wp:PRSOURCE says an actual press release should not be directly cited, which we have not done, and only factual statements can be used, exactly what we’ve done. Gleeanon409 (talk) 12:28, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. Please read the whole policy, and not cherrypick the parts that appeal to you. Your blogs are not written by acknowledged experts in the field as defined at WP:BLOGS: "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications." Further, wp:PRSOURCE says nothing about directly citing but says attribution must be placed in the text of the article when using such a source: "Non-independent sources may be used to source content for articles, but the connection of the source to the topic must be clearly identified. i.e. "The organization X said 10,000 people showed up to protest." is OK when using material published by the organization, but "10,000 people showed up to protest." is not." In other words, its ok to quote and use if you are clearly stating where the content is coming from in the written text and not just at the citation at the end of the sentence. Further, WP:PRSOURCE is very clear that these sources should be used sparingly and with caution because they lack independence. "Non-independent sources may not be used to establish notability." Your continuing reliance on these sources shows poor editorial judgement. There are no sources here considered quality enough RS to meet WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 19:25, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I’m convinced that I am within the spirit of reliable sourcing even if one chooses to try to tear apart one source after the next.

Not every source directly cites RuPaul’s DragCon UK, but those are generally still used approximately to source other facts that help our readers understand the subject. For example discussing, very briefly, DragWorld, which is as of now Europe’s largest drag convention. That would seem to be perfectly relevant to this article.

Blogs may be used but in no way editorially, or even spreading falsehoods. The are specialists in LGBTQ and drag content but are used minimally and no one suggests what they report is false.

as for sources relying on Drag Race’s own press? Well you may have to get used to it as even mainstream news sources do that very thing. For anything actually contested there is likely 2 or 3 more sources stating the exact same thing. And no one disputes the rather humdrum facts stated are true.

So it’s fairly obvious this article shouldn’t be deleted, but given this level of interrogation I do wonder; this DragCon, undoubtedly Europe’s largest by far, only 60 days away, how many more reliable sources does it need to finally make it over these moving goal posts?

How close to this event is close enough for an article about it? The day of? And what sources are likely to cover it much without prompting from Drag Race? Likely the very sources that already have. Gleeanon409 (talk) 13:57, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I have changed my vote from draftify to delete. Unfortunately, Gleeanon409 seems resistant from learning from what other editors are saying about what constitutes reliable sources per wikipedia policy. I am not confident that even in draft space that good editorial judgement would be used in terms of basic sourcing. He or she seems unable to discern between viable RS and press releases and blogs. Further, the editor has restored content to the article which is clearly not in the text of any of the sources cited.4meter4 (talk) 12:14, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I even added the direct quote, “So at what point did drag move from niche to mainstream concern? It was TV production company World of Wonder that first put RuPaul’s TV show Drag Race on screens in 2009, leading to the show enveloping popular culture during its 11 seasons (and being partly responsible for why so many people use words such as “fierce”, “werk” and “shade”).“ It supports the statement that RuPaul’s Drag Race popularized drag to the mainstream.

Wikipedia is a private, non-sectarian charity, not a Christian version of LinkedIn or Indeed. There's nothing he's done that even approaches general notability. The award of Order of the Three Stars does not automatically confer notability, and being a republic, an award from Latvia can not be the same as a knighthood.

The article notes: Executives, employees and local partners of a highly valued tech startup that’s quickly expanding its nationwide platform of apartment-style vacation rentals have been operating short-term rentals illegally in Nashville, according to Metro officials. New York-based Domio, founded in 2016, buys and leases homes around the country to rent to groups of vacationers as "apartment hotels." But, in Nashville, the company's pattern of claiming permanent residency to get short-term rental permits — with little indication they live in the area at all — reflects a growing issue in the booming short-term rental market. ... Domio both competes and partners with major short-term rental platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo. The venture has attracted more than $65 million in investment. It has rentals in more than a dozen cities around the country, including New York, Chicago and Boston, and recently announced its expansion into South Florida. But since last year, Nashville officials have repeatedly issued injunctions against properties owned and leased by Domio, including several belonging to company executives. A Tennessean review of Domio-listed properties in Nashville found several more rentals with owner-occupied permits owned by people with home addresses in other cities and states on their permits and deeds.

The tech-hospitality platform offers apartment-style vacation rentals with curated amenities, similar to competing startups Lyric, Sonder, Stay Alfred and Vacasa. It buys and leases homes, condominiums and apartment buildings specifically for large groups of travelers, like bachelor parties, in more than 14 U.S. markets including Nashville, New Orleans, Boston, San Diego, Austin and Charlotte. ... The firm has raised more than $65 million in financing, including $50 million from Upper90 venture capital investment company.

Archived from the original on 2019-11-10. Retrieved 2019-11-10. The article notes: The latest player in this rapidly developing market is New York City-based Domio, which is evolving beyond its successful single unit properties across the country to turn to multi-unit “apart-hotels” — a hybrid between an apartment and a hotel that is “asset-light,” meaning it offers a hotel-like experience without the costly infrastructure that a traditional hotel requires. The company announced a big boost in its plans this week as private equity firm Upper90 recently ponied up $50 million into a joint venture to launch as many as 25 apart-hotels across the United States in coming years. Unlike most traditional hotels, which are franchised out to owner-operators or hotelier management firms, Domio intends to control the experience from end to end. That means that Domio will enter long-term leases with developers and then brand, furnish and operate the properties. Domio already has a good thing going with its single unit properties — the company has served more than 60,000 guests since it was founded in 2016 — but this new initiative is intended to target the growing group travel market. Rather than just targeting groups on its original site, Domio intends to focus on those traveling with friends or family, offering more spacious (two to four bedrooms) accommodations at a significant discount from equitable properties at traditional hotels.

They’ll enter into long-term leases with developers, then brand, furnish and operate the properties, ultimately offering short-term leases aimed at travel groups.

The article notes: Domio, a two-year-old, New York-based outfit, thinks there’s a third way: apartment hotels, or “apart hotels,” as the company is calling them. The idea is to build a brand that travelers recognize as upscale yet affordable, more tech friendly than boutique hotels and features plenty of square footage, which it expects will appeal to both families as well as companies that send teams of employees to cities and want to do it more economically. Domio  has a host of competitors, if you’ll forgive the pun. Marriott International earlier this year introduced a branded home-sharing business called Tribute Portfolio Homes wherein it says it vets, outfits and maintains to hotel standards homes of its choosing. And Marriott is among a growing number of hotels to recognize that customers who stay in a hotel for a business trip or a family vacation might prefer a multi-bedroom apartment with hotel-like amenities. ...

The article notes: Housed in a former factory, Domio Baronne is a six-story, 50-room hotel in the Crescent City’s warehouse district, the part of the Central Business District between the French Quarter and the Garden District that’s currently being rehabbed back to vibrancy with condos and boutique businesses. Domio, a nascent company that styles itself “a technology platform focused on travel,” began by offering vacation apartment rentals. Co-founder Jay Roberts, a former investment banker, told me that he AirBnB-ed a spare bedroom in his Brooklyn apartment three years ago, and then just kept going; Domio now offers apartment rentals in seven cities. Domio Baronne is the company’s first full-scale apartment/hotel, and if the eight versions on the drawing boards in other cities turn out as nice, this is likely what hotels of the future will be. If you took the AirBnB concept and built a hotel out of it, this is what it would look like: studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments, with maid service. If you don’t care about having a bar or a restaurant in your hotel (and who cares about that in New Orleans, where you can throw a rock in any direction and hit a restaurant or a bar?), this is for you. If you’re traveling with a family or a small group, this is for you. And it’s not pricey.

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Domio to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  Controversy, Illegal Permits and Lawsuits
  
  Domio has come under scrutiny for their business practices in Boston, San Diego, Nashville and other cities. In Boston, Domio set up a fake Airbnb host named "Anthony" and rented out 88 units under the pseudonym.^[1] In Nashville, co-founder and COO Adrian Lam received a court order from the Davidson County Circuit Court in June 2019 to stop renting out his North Nashville condominium, however, Lam was allowed to continue renting out another short-term rental property in East Nashville that doesn’t require him to live there to rent it out. Other Domio employees who have been served with lawsuits over fraudulent permits for homes owned in their name include data scientist Hengyi “Harry” Zhu, revenue manager Juan Miguel Rivera Pecunia and marketing director Umer Usman.^[2][3]

I've only just started working to improve this.

• You need reliable non-primary sources showing more than plot information. The sources need to be non-trivial descriptions from a real world perspective, including creation commentary, reception, and cultural impact. If you have such information, I'd be fine withdrawing it. If you do not have such information but think you may in the future, I'd suggest setting up an account and asking for this to be drafted or set up in a sandbox. The other pages of this series all have the same issue. If you don't have any real world information but want to contribute to the series, I'd suggest starting from Warhammer Fantasy (setting) and work out from there.

• Keep Delete (per below) Notability doesn't have any geographic criteria. A subject that is locally notable is still notable. From what I can tell, he has at least three secondary sources on him (a book, a website, and the bridge/bridge plaque). The subject meets WP:GNG. He even earned a medal from an allied country and has an honorific plaque on a bridge named after him. VF9 (talk) 22:14, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. No, it fails WP:GNG 1. Not all sources are created equal. The blog is not a proper source. There is next to no information in it. The only thing it does is suggests the existence of the bridge. That source should probably be removed from the article. Find a Grave records are self-published. Military Times self-describes as a database. There is only one true secondary source, and that is essentially a directory/profiles of Hamden citizens who served in WWI. Based on the length of the book, it appears to be inclusive of all soldiers in the town of, by 1920, about 8600 people. 2. Neither of the medals he received qualifies him for WP:MILPEOPLE. He was not high ranking and it appears that he didn't serve an important role in particularly decisive battles. 3. A non-notable structure being named after someone in the town does not add to his notability. Most towns have structures named after some of its citizens. Few of them are notable.DiamondRemley39 (talk) 23:00, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The article shows why blogs are poor sources. As far as I can tell, neither bridge that the plaque has been on was named for him. Shortly before he died, he oversaw the construction of a bridge that has since been torn down. A plaque was placed on the first bridge in his memory and when the bridge was replaced, the plaque was moved to a replica of the Ithiel Town#Town's lattice bridge at the Eli Whitney Museum (which doesn't mention him on their page about the bridge).[6][7] I have not yet found adequate coverage to support an article.

I debunked the second part of the contestation ("sources suggest notability") above - a novel theory written up in May 2019 cannot possibly have sources referring to it that were published before that date.

Thanks Onel5969 I think that clarifies where the question is. To those who believe the topic is notable, how has it been important part of the area's broadcast history? To those who argue against notability, why is it irrelevant to the broadcast history? Per WP:BROADCAST, does the station produce any original content, or does it just repeat what is sent to it by satellite, from an organization with no other ties to the area? 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 19:26, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 14:22, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep (Change to Delete; Change to Weak Keep) - It's a big club in a town of 1 million people. The season has widespread coverage in major national newspapers; sources should be request to the original author. We certainly won't say Arsenal's or Machester United's season is not notable. 2100s (talk) 19:12, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - @2100s: That is because Arsenal and Manchester United is notable enough as they play in the top league which would be easy enough to satisfy the WP:NSEASONS agreement. Here though, the league is in second tier during the 2016 and 2017 season which might be a struggle to find resources that relate for this team. HawkAussie (talk) 22:12, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Ok. Thanks for your research. Then, they should be deleted. 2100s (talk) 23:20, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Well, after reading WP:NSEASONS, I am not sure. It doesn't say Lower Leagues aren't notable; it says they may be notable depending on sources. I believe if there are enough fans coming here and start editing, then it can most likely meet notability criteria. For example, 2006–07 Juventus F.C. season is an article even though it's in lower league. WP:NSPORT says leagues in US states are notable. If we use that as a guide, the population of Naypyitaw exceeds many US States. They're some coverage on local newspaper. I am sure this article can meet notability criteria if someone is serious enough. But the problem is whether we'll have that one. 2100s (talk) 23:33, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article violates WP:FORUM and WP:NOTADVOCACY. The whole article is skewed and based on personal opinions of individuals. The first line itself is an opinion of the subject followed by the body of the article filled with opinions from other people. Some of the paragraphs have no reference. Talking about references, I researched to understand that

1. Ref #1 leads here - https://www.cbc.ca/News/TV+Shows/Marketplace/ID/2290470304 - a dead link

2. Ref #2 leads here - https://search.proquest.com/docview/434365733 - failed verification unless you have an account

3. Ref #5 leads here - https://www.quackwatch.org/04ConsumerEducation/NegativeBR/vbible.html - a personal opinion of a certain individual

4. Ref #6 leads here - https://www.deseret.com/1989/9/8/18823059/speakers-urge-quackdown-against-health-fraud-in-utah - a stand-alone story, but a reflection of the opinion from the previous source

5. Ref #7 leads here - https://www.quackwatch.org/04ConsumerEducation/NegativeBR/hbible.html - a book review, which are generally personal opinions

The remaining are books which I couldn’t read or get hold of. Failed verification, in a way. In the absence of proper references, it violates WP:NBIO and WP:GNG too. Also observe edit warring, possible vandalism per WP:VD. Overall, delete. Brenthaven (talk) 16:17, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The argument made by the proposer isn't very sound. Ref's 1 & 2 are awkward, but still valid. Ref 5 is Quackwatch and Quackwatch's usability in BLPs is debated, but I beleive that most editors concede that articles not by Dr. Barrett are OK. Ref 6 is a third party article by a reputable source that reports on a keynote speech given by the author of ref 3. That seems ok? Ref 7 is also a Quackwatch article not by Dr Barrett. It probably doesn't convey additional notability that the previous article didn't, but it's a valid source. ApLundell (talk) 20:37, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a rough agreement that though it currently fails TOOSOON and its sources aren't in a state to make a clear indication of notability via NCREATIVE, there is a firm possibility that it will be able to in the future.

After almost two years with no further mention in reliable sources, it appears that the topic fails both WP:SUSTAINED and WP:NotNews guidlines. I created the article in December, 2017 because I thought the Redhawks spoof was interesting and had a couple of reliable sources, but I did not want to add to the already large size of the main article, Washington Redskins name controversy. "Not the News" should have warranted a waiting period before doing so, which is my error. With the passage of time, the criteria of notability is relevant; the topic was a blip in the media that did not last a week, so a separate article should not have been created (again, my bad). That does not mean the topic should automatically folded back into the main article, which remains too large to include all of the minor details surrounding the controversy while remaining a GA, something I am currently trying to remedy.

• Comment I think the content should stay on the 'pedia in some form, whether or not a standalone article winds up being the best place for it. As a culture jam that wound up having a limited run, it makes sense that further sourcing did not emerge. However, for what it was, it was/is notable.

If you want to merge it, we could look at which article on the Mascot controversy currently has the best coverage of actions, or create a section for actions like this in that article. If this isn't kept as a standalone, and I'm not opposed to keeping it as its own article, potentially we could put it there. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 19:18, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm not seeing an obvious place to merge it. Fighting Whites has its own article. Unless someone wants to make a new article putting all of these together, right now I'm leaning towards Keep. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 19:21, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Out of curiosity, also looking at coverage of the "Caucasians" shirts. Googling about it, along with Migizi Pensoneau of the 1491s turns up a number of pieces about their Daily Show appearance, notably the threats he got when wearing the shirt among fans of the team. This is his original piece about it, but there are quite a few more. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 19:35, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to the protests section at Washington Redskins name controversy per WP:FORK. This is an unnecessary content fork, and on its own doesn't show sustained coverage. It is valuable content that is worth keeping though as others have mentioned above.4meter4 (talk) 02:23, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep over Merge I'm in a similar mind to CorbieVreccan. After digging through WP:EVENT for event specific guidelines (which as a disclaimer I'm not at all familiar with and some of them I'm reading for the first time), the Redhawks would probably remain as a standalone article. Within the criteria, it doesn't have a lasting effect, nor does it fully satisfy the widespread impact, but it was widely covered. The sources it already has satisfy WP:DEPTH and WP:DIVERSE to my liking. It was largely brushed aside after being outed as false, but when it comes to sustained coverage of events, the wording of the guidelines seem to indicate that a lack of consistent coverage or a lasting effect does not disqualify the Redhawks from being suitably notable. "Although notability is not temporary, meaning that coverage does not need to be ongoing for notability to be established, a burst or spike of news reports does not automatically make an incident notable." We're certainly in a grey area where it doesn't meet every guideline, but failure to meet every guideline isn't enough to say that it ought to be another section in an already bloated article as these guidelines are worded. Of course my entire argument stems on the fact that I consider it more an event, which doesn't quite hold it to the same standards of sustained coverage. If you don't think so, you'd probably rather merge it. hewhoamareismyself 05:06, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Washington Redskins name controversy. Fails WP:SUSTAINED, with coverage over a few days, and few references to it since. Even if it meets WP:GNG, it doesn't mandate a standalon article: This is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page. Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article. If it's treated as an event, it lacks WP:LASTING impact.—Bagumba (talk) 09:22, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NSONG. Another article for a non-notable song created by the Roxanne Seeman SPA, and again no obvious redirect target. For one thing, the song has been recorded by two notable artists and therefore falls foul of WP:XY, but in any case there's no compelling case to redirect to either artist – the original version is an instrumental from a non-notable album that doesn't have it's own Wikipedia page, and the version with lyrics was a session outtake that was only included as a bonus track on an album 40 years after its original release. No doubt this article will also now be refbombed by the SPA in an attempt to make the song seem notable. Richard3120 (talk) 12:14, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I try hard to avoid accusations of bad faith but something is surely amiss with the creator of this article and information about Roxanne Seeman. Ms. Seeman's contributions to the second version of this song (by Jermaine Jackson) can be mentioned at her article as an example of her works. The same could also be done at the article for the relevant Jermaine Jackson album (if there is one). But there is no convincing evidence that the song merits an article of its own. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:52, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge The song could be merged into the Love Island album page but could not find how to revert the redirect to create an album page. Read for hours on all of this and looked for the redirect, understood it targets the album section. The album is notable, I've added a citation with the Billboard chart on the top of the Tahiti Hut page showing it was still on the chart for 25 weeks. Not interested in edit wars - fine to merge it into the Love Island album page but don't get why this album is being called non-notable and redirected with nothing visible. Love Island album has been, as mentioned, on the Billboard chart after 25 weeks, and includes tracks that have been sampled, such as San Juan Sunset by Lupe Fiasco in "Paris, Tokyo" which I think was Grammy nominated, Whistle Bump was a single on the Billboard Dance Charts, Love Island song had activity. Tahiti Hut information is on this page but could be merged if possible to create Love Island album page.

@Rosedelune: I take your point that the album may be notable, as it charted on the Bilboard Jazz chart, but as an article for the album doesn't exist at the moment, a merge is not a possible option at this stage.

• Delete Not notable enough per nom. Ambrosiawater (talk) 08:10, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• The initiator of this Nomination for Deletion is well aware that the album is notable and conceded it but did not respond to the query for advice on how to revert the redirect of the album page. The tag could have been to merge the song page with the album page but what is happening here is an effort to delete, which is discussed on the previous Nomination for Deletion. Administrators have reviewed pages for years without incident for years.

it would appear in my opinion, an effort going on to redirect and delete pages, rather than merge or tag as a stub. I have elaborated on the previous Nomination to Delete:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Tequila_Mockingbird_(song)

While this has not escalated into a war of reversions, in my opinion where administrators have previously reviewed pages, and where there is no effort to merge or tag as a stub, there appears to be a stubborn determine to argue and delete (please see the link to Tequila Mockingbird (song) Nomination for Deletion discussions. The persistent goal of deletion, rather than encouraging improving an article and revising guidelines, is creating a situation that encourages people to engage paid editors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lamest_edit_wars

"Occasionally, even experienced Wikipedians lose their heads and devote every waking moment to edit warring over the most trivial thing, wasting time debating topics of no practical value, or wrestling over questions whose answers hold no practical consequence. This page documents our lamest examples. It isn't comprehensive or authoritative, but it serves as a showcase of situations where people lose sight of the big picture and obsessively expend huge amounts of energy fighting over something that, in the end, isn't really so important." Rosedelune (talk) 14:41, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• I think a guideline should be suggested if not in place, that before an editor Nominates to Delete a page that has been reviewed by an administrator, the administrator should be "pinged" to review that editors' Nomination to Delete - and that editors Nominations to Delete and their rationale and the tone of the commentary should be reviewed and evaluated before creators and community members are dragged into a discussion wasting time better spent on improving an article or creating a new one. Rosedelune (talk) 16:06, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Richard3120:: I don't know yet how to address you with the proper codes and I don't have the time that you do to learn all of this now - but since you have begun by disparaging the Love Island album as not being notable and my creation of articles - and now have conceded after I cited a Billboard chart showing the album was still on the charts after 25 weeks, it is notable and you could have easily looked that up as you have explained that you spend innumerable amounts of time in UK libraries researching Billboard, Music Week and other publications and charts, and since you did not answer my query as to how to undo the redirect -- and since I am coming to the conclusion that you mean well but are of a rigid and literal mind and interpretation of rules and life and have a special interest with all of this which makes you a specialist in the details which your pursue so zealously - and since I have great admiration for people with knowledge, know-how, and talent, may I suggest that since I cannot for the life of me figure out how to undo the redirect for Love Island album -- that you direct your energies in a positive direction to the creation of the Love Island album page and take the contents of the Tahiti Hut page and merge it there without deleting any of the information. I am suggesting this as a compromise and a request that you consider what would help improve the situation which you are well-aware of with the rules that you are intransigent about following simply because as you say they are the guidelines, you didn't make them and you need to follow them. This community can propose new rules and you are an expert on what they are, so how about considering what would help to keep articles that have merit though not to the standard that you are following simply because in your mind there is no alternative and I understand that. There is a new movie coming out "Just Mercy" which happens to take place in Monroeville where Harper Lee, writer of "To Kill a Mockingbird" lived and wrote the book. It is about the justice system. I recommend it highly to all who are serving on these jury panels.

Here is the tracklist for Eumir Deodato's Love Island (album). Personally I don't agree that the Tahiti Hut article, which was reviewed by an administrator previous to your Nomination to Delete, should be merged here unless you should expand the album page to include information for Whistle Bump, San Juan Sunset and Love Island, but would gladly accept it if it would allay all of this discussion. The disparaging reference to Tahiti Hut as a session outtake, however is incorrect - a session outtake to my understanding would be when the song is recorded multiple takes, one take is chosen, and the others are the outtake of that song's recording session. To understand when and how that song was recorded and why it did not appear on the album would be a question for Jermaine Jackson to answer or Bobby DeBarge, who is deceased but was the subject of this year's biopic: https://tvone.tv/show/the-bobby-debarge-story/ , or the writer of the song might know but that would have to be documented by an interview in a reliable source. Maybe you could think of a way that Wikipedia could start it's own reliable source publication so that facts could be submitted and verified. Many thanks.

@Rosedelune: you have entirely missed the point of this AfD discussion. Perhaps I wasn't very clear, but I did tell you that the album article would need to be created first – this is done by overwriting the redirect which is already in place, and if you want help in doing that, I am willing to guide you. But the point is, why should "Tahiti Hut" redirect to Love Island (album) any more than Reaching for Tomorrow, where it is also featured? The whole reason I opened this discussion is because it is far from obvious that one version is more notable than the other, and therefore there is more than one redirect option. Richard3120 (talk) 17:11, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Richard3120: Tahiti Hut with lyrics is a derivative work of the underlying composition Tahiti Hut which means the copyright for the lyric version is based on the copyright for the original composition which was recorded by Eumir Deodato on the Love Island album. There are two copyrights: the copyright for the song and the copyright for the sound recording. For that reason, the recording by Switch feat. Jermaine Jackson would be attached to the original copyright of the song. On the other hand, as you point out, the recording by Switch feat. Jermaine Jackson is a bonus track on an expanded edition of Reaching For Tomorrow so it would equally make sense that the song would be part of that album. If there is a new recording - and by the way now that there is the recent release, press, activity, uses are likely to occur - so with a new recording then the question is where you put the information for that recording, especially if it does not have chart activity or pass all the hoops that are being deemed necessary for it's own page. So if, for example, a punk act (I understand you like 70's punk/new wave acts) were to cover the song, then there is the issue of where this information would be added - would it then be redirected or included to the Switch "Reaching For Tomorrow" page? Originally the intent was to create the Love Island album page but that was not possible because the redirect was not possible to locate and revert, hence having a page for the song which would include the Eumir Deodato version, the Switch feat Jermaine Jackson version made the most sense and afterwards, there was the Yacht Rock web series podcast which includes the Deodato version and the samples of the Deodato record. So in a case where there are two recordings by notable artists, and the notability of the artists is certainly unquestionable, and there are additional uses, samples, etc. and a there is possibility for a stub to grow, it makes sense in my opinion to create a song page for the song -- and to consider a revision of the notability guidelines to allow for determinations in cases like this so an editor does not elect a Nomination to Delete altogether for lack of knowing what to do Rosedelune (talk) 23:56, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Songs: Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs. WP:Notability (music)#Songs

In this case there has been uses over the decades and a new release so the article can grow beyond a stub. 3. Has been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups.

Songs with notable cover versions are normally covered in one common article about the song and the cover versions.

You have quoted the notability statement and then ignored it in your next sentence. This song has been in existence for 42 years and still shows no signs of notability – we don't keep articles on the basis that "they might be notable someday". You haven't demonstrated at all that either version of the song is notable, so there is no reason to keep an article about two non-notable versions.

The result was delete. The argument in favor of keeping the article is not convincing given that no evidence of notability was provided. I have reviewed the article and while it contains a large number of references, most of them are either trivial mentions in lists of software, or primary sources linking to the subject's official website.
