GNG and WP:ARTIST fail. This is the first time I have seen the "collections" section used to list the museums that have refused the artist's work rather than collected it. I think that part tends to reinforce the argument for him being non notable. Previously deleted by consensus in 2007. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:42, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment following up on my delete !vote above - The article was created by an SPA with an obvious COI, and has been heavily edited by another SPA, both of whom are focused on articles related to Tondino and his father. The article is WP:PROMO, just like the one that was deleted some years ago. Fails NARTIST on all four points: 1) they are NOT regarded as an important figure, nor are they widely cited by peers or successors; 2) They are NOT known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique; 3)They have NOT played a major role in creating a significant or well known work or collective body of work, nor are they the primary subject of an independent and notable work, nor multiple independent books, articles reviews that cover them in a significant way; 4) Their work is NOT a significant monument, substantial part of a significant exhibition (like solo shows at museums), they have not won significant critical attention, nor are they in permanent collections of notable galleries or museums. I could not verify any of the collections listed in the article (which are private, family members, or corporate). The museums he attempted to donate his work to did not accept it for their collections. Just because someone is an artist and has had a few shows or screenings and a couple mentions in the press, is not enough to merit an encyclopedia article. WP is not a LinkedIn equivalent. Netherzone (talk) 21:53, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment maybe we should be loosening the guidelines somewhat? Things that appear true: 1) this artist has had representation in reasonably significant Montreal Galleries (Kastel, Dominion); 2) This artist's work has been included in and has sold in significant Canadian Auction houses (Heffel, Levis, Ritchie); 3) this artist has had public shows (Cultural centres) Booboo the dog (talk) 11:36, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - It seems this is the 3rd time this article has been up for deletion: the 2007 nomination states that the article was "Prodded, deleted and recreated" - making this one the 3rd nomination. It may be best to salt. As to the list above of "things that appear true": 1) the exhibitions are either unverifiable or not significant: Galerie Kastel does not list him as one of their "exhibited artists, nor does Dominion; Galerie 1225 is a "gallery" in a wine bar on the McGill Univ. campus where alumni can show their work (he is an alum); Maxwell Haus Studios & Centre St Ambroise seems to be for-rent studios and a brew pub; Nelligan is a hotel and shops; Studio St-Ambroise seem to be studios for-rent by-the-day where anyone could put up a show. I was unable to verify the Salon de la Plasticas Mexicanos exhibition. 2) works sold at auction do not establish notability, just that the artist sold some work, which is what hundreds of thousands of artists do. 3) See item 1 above.

Comment okay, sorry for the extra work I put you through Booboo the dog (talk) 16:34, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Problem I checked and many of your last claims Netherzone are actually untrue unfortunately. For example, Gallery 1225 was never affiliated with McGill and the owner reopened under the name NuEdge. This artist did have an exhibition in 2002 at Kastel Gallery and the gallery closed in 2006. While I am know longer certain this artist is notable by wiki guidelines, your research is problematic. Perhaps a Montrealer could weigh in here? Booboo the dog (talk) 10:35, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

comments by article creator with direct COI
Comment Hello, I created this article. I admit it may have been a mistake but I revealed that I was the major contributor to it by signing my first name. I also created the article on Gentile Tondino who clearly passes (He had a show at the MMFA, and is in a few museums. Tristan Tondino does not pass 3 of the 4 guidelines but the 4th is ambiguous. I have first-hand knowledge that he did have exhibitions at Kastel, at Galerie 1225, and that his work was in Dominion Gallery until it closed. The last curator of Dominion wrote an article describing his acceptance in the Gallery, their first meeting, and the quality of his work. Tondino's Kastel show was very large (70 paintings) half of which sold and the rest were purchased by the owners Paul Kastel and Anthony Nevin. I'm not sure whether these galleries are significant enough, but I am definitely going to improve the Paul Kastel entry because he really did work hard to promote the work of many excellent painters (e.g., Fritz Brandtner, Stanley Cosgrove, Henry Wanton Jones, John Little and the Weiselberg sisters, Rose and Fanny, and many younger painters like Raphael Monpetit, Tristan Tondino, and well... my work too). From a contemporary art perspective, it's hard to know what to do with more traditional galleries. And to be fair, Tondino is all over the place in terms of style. He did many Montreal scenes, tiny paintings of birds, Fauve-ist Plein air paintings of Italy, textual works, multiple versions of the 5 dollar project one of which did sell at auction to an unknown buyer in Empire Auction and the proceeds were given to TWKF. He has done very large paintings on construction site plywood barriers and has been attempting to donate self-referential works (Un Villain Tableau, A Painting No One Wants; A Forgery) to museums and I have a letter from the MMFA's outstanding Cheif curator who played along with the process. These are the facts. Also, because he is a multi-media artist it's not clear what the article should be focusing on. We did have two films open at the Montreal World Film Festival and this can be found online in lists other than IMDB. My general point is that while there are warnings about conflict of interest we should nonetheless focus on facts. There is a lot of material around. Finally, and I think most importantly, we have lost many interesting newspapers to the digital revolution (e.g., The Montreal Mirror, The Hour) and I think we need to be vigilant during this transition to avoid losing historically significant or interesting material. I would request, therefore, that either the article be preserved on my page until it is actually ready (I will be more detailed next time and make sure the links to important items can be found online) or that the deletion request be terminated and I will work on making certain the items are available.

I agree to a certain extent (I'm a terrible editor and don't know how to claim on the talk page that I have a conflict) but still maintain that the issue ultimately is objectivity. I want the two pages to stay but if this one goes because I haven't done this correctly then I understand and apologize JOSBRU (talk) 19:02, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Joseane a.k.a. JOSBRU - Judging from the editing work that you did under your first username - in article space and sandboxes - you do indeed know how to edit - to claim otherwise lowers your credibility. You admit to a very close relationship to the subject of this article and his father. I would advise against editing the articles on galleries and gallerists who have represented or purchased Tondino's work. That too may be a conflict of interest, as they are commercial enterprises that the artist (and perhaps you) received remuneration from in the form of sales, as in the sold-out show you mention. It is not possible to maintain a neutral, objective POV in these circumstances. WP:EXTERNALREL states: "Any external relationship—personal, religious, political, academic, legal, or financial — can trigger a COI. How close the relationship needs to be before it becomes a concern on Wikipedia is governed by common sense. For example, an article about a band should not be written by the band's manager, and a biography should not be an autobiography or written by the subject's spouse." You don't seem to be here to help create an encyclopedia, but rather, solely to promote Tondino and his investors and salespeople. Netherzone (talk) 21:15, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Very touristy, nearly incomprehensible, I believe it'd need a full rewrite to become a decent article at this point. Just a tangled mess in general. MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.) (talk) 22:25, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Many of the references are unreliable, primary sources, or non-references, including YouTube, Google Maps, Wikipedia, Simple English Wikipedia, videos, and tourist brochures. Much of the article is incomprehensible and contains marketing buzzspeak. The history is unverified and appears to be mythological.
There was a previous AFD four years ago which was closed as No Consensus, basically due to a lack of participation. The article has not improved substantially in four years even if more questionable sources have been added. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:17, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:TNT. I actually think there's an outside chance that this is a notable topic. The lingam received some attention (see here from the Times of India). Assuming in good faith that at least one or two of the poorly-formatted print sources referenced in the current article actually has something germane to say about the temple in general (but see below), there's probably enough to build a legitimate article. What we have here, however, isn't it, and isn't salvageable. It conflates mythology and doctrine with history, is so dubiously referenced as to render any of the text questionable, and has significant passages that are on the whole barely comprehensible. Also, I believe that at least some of the print sources are being used in ways that do not support the provided claims; Glimpses of Architecture in Kerala Temples and Palaces is available via Google's frustrating Snippet View, but that's enough to determine that the word "Maheswaram" does not appear in the text; I suspect the book actually describes an architectural style, which is then attributed to this temple here via original research. And so for those several reasons, even if the temple is a notable topic, this article is so badly non-compliant that we're better off without it.

Delete - This list is nothing but trivial WP:PLOT information, sourced only to the episodes themselves. A singular, well sourced list or article on the actual notable planets in the franchise (i.e. Vulcan, Qo'Nos, etc.) would make sense. A listing of the hundreds of planets that have been mentioned throughout the franchise's fifty year history, sourced to nothing but the episodes themselves, is nothing but cruft. And while there are sources out there that discuss the fictional planets of the franchise, they are, again, pretty much limited to the handful of actually notable examples, not the countless number contained in these lists that had no bearing on the plot of even a single episode and were mentioned off hand. Rorshacma (talk) 21:57, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a single planet that is blue linked that has its own article for Star Trek and not a real location? Bajor links to Bajoran, and the other links I clicked to are just real life locations. Are the other lists like this also? If there is enough legitimate blue links from all of them combined, then merge them together. DreamFocus 15:23, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Currently, no. The closest we have is the link to "Earth" linking to the Star Trek segment of the Earth in science fiction article, and Vulcan, as the name of the planet and native species are the same, so the target article discusses both. The remaining blue links are either to the real-life locations, or to the species that inhabits them (i.e. Qo'Nos linking to Klingon). Rorshacma (talk) 15:41, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like pointless wikilawyering. There is no need to notify projects, and notifying creators is a curtesy. How many are even still active? TTN (talk) 13:21, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A need to notify the Star Trek wikiproject about a removal discussion of six major articles seems obvious and important for the credibility of finalizing such a mass removal. Notifying projects is the good faith and fair way to go with something like this. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:00, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's a nicety, but not a necessity. That's especially true given that it looks to be a fairly inactive project, and it can be assumed anyone truly active in the project would have these pages on their radar given the relatively low number of articles on the topic compared to mass Wikiprojects. It seems like you're trying to enforce pointless bureaucracy due to your own personal interest in the topic. TTN (talk) 15:56, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I like the topic, and I also don't like the fact that this massive collection of material on the subject is being quickly jettisoned without alerting others who may like the topic. The comments about me obscure the actual target - the collection of Star Trek planets material which is likely the best such collection on the internet and which, by the way, seems quite encyclopedia worthy. Hopefully the closer will consider the Ignore the Rules direction to maintain the encyclopedia which, in a real way, asks us to maintain specific and unique articles in a topic collection. Randy Kryn (talk) 18:52, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as mostly not notable, but handle incoming redirects & links with care rather than simply deleting them all. Some could usefully be redirected to episode articles instead, in cases where a location made a worthwhile connection between multiple episodes. As TTN stated above, "The various hundreds of articles can easily handle the burden of an extra sentence explaining each relevant location" but, unless done by an admin, that needs to be done before deletion (or by temporarily pasting a copy into WikiProject space). Note: I have just removed links to these sub-lists from Template:Star Trek so that we can see what intentional incoming links remain. – FayenaticLondon 18:53, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You don't make a person notable as a writer by referencing claims about his writing career to his own writing as technical verification that it exists, you make a person notable as a writer by referencing claims about his writing career to journalism (book reviews, news articles, etc.) written by other people as evidence that media paid independent third party attention to his writing.

Redirect to Beast Wars: Transformers - I'm not finding anything that goes much in depth on the character that would support an independent article - mostly just plot summaries or announcements/descriptions of toys based on him. However, as a major character of a notable cartoon, it would make sense to redirect to the main article. And while there have been other incarnations of the character, the Beast Wars version was the original and, by far, the most well known. Rorshacma (talk) 22:09, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Alice deserves this page due to the successful show Baby on Netflix she stars in and the 1.1m followers she currently has on instagram, it also informs people about her. Also she is listed on the italian wiki but this is obviously in Italian and not readable by the English audience to the show.

Speedy delete having only IMDb as a source should be a stanrdard speedy delete cause. To add to the problems, this article mentions no roles ever.

There is no policy that says that prominent theatre roles qualify. Otherwise everybody who had ever played Lady Bracknell in an amateur dramatics production of The Importance of Being Earnest would merit a BLP. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:30, 3 November 2019 (UTC).[reply]
WP:NACTOR. "1.Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." Emphasis added. No it doesn't extend to any amateur dramatics production, it needs to be a notable production. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:44, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
DeleteComment. The first clue I had that something isn't right with the article is that I couldn't find the existence of the Australian National Theatre, but I did find a newspaper article from 2015 lamenting that no such theatre organization yet exists (or has ever existed) in Australia. In short, without some more compelling evidence (ie better sourcing), I don't think WP:NACTOR in provable yet in this article.4meter4 (talk) 13:19, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I solved the mystery. Please see the updates I made to the article. It looks like "Australia National Theatre Live" should have been the title. It means she was in nationally televised productions from the Perth playhouse. I also discovered she's won and been nominated for some of Australia's major theatre awards (see here). Those nominations indicate notability to me. The article still needs better sourcing, but a tag would be more appropriate than deletion giving the awards.4meter4 (talk) 15:43, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
User:4meter4, I would suggest it's a third thing. See the list of productions from the mimma link
Godspell, Chicago, Jack The Ripper Show, On Our Selection, A Chorus of Disapproval, Company and Charity Barnum in Barnum (National Theatre Co).
Compare to what was in the wiki page
Godspell, Chicago, The Jack the Ripper Show, On Our Selection, A Chorus of Disapproval, Company and Barnum for the Australian National Theatre Company.
Someone editing the wikipedia page added the "Australian" [13]. The actual mob is National Theatre Inc over time called Perth Repertory Club, The National Theatre of Western Australia Inc and The National Theatre Company Inc. See [14]. Also an extra production for them, Sisterly Feelings, not yet listed can be seen here. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:06, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find a single mention of this company in an independant reliable source (WP:ORGCRIT). The cited sources are primary sources and press releases. One Moldovan newspaper has briefly mentioned one of their daughter projects, "Fentury".
I am respecting that you analized the sources, however, I might say with the confedence that I included the viable sources (contrary, there is only one quoted from a magazine). I followed all the other encyclopedia examples such as Divido and others, and also the wikipedia rules such as WP:RS. --Sabrina.ok (talk) 17:34, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and consider salting. This article is nowhere near meeting WP:ORGCRITE standards. Most of the sources are either databases, blog posts, or written by affiliates of the company (i.e. not significant coverage in RS). Only two citations come even close to being significant coverage in a reliable source: [19] and [20]. However, the former has no byline, which throws its reliability into doubt, and the latter is still quite short of being significant coverage and appears to be republished from another source without clear attribution (What is LTP?), so its reliability is doubtful as well. And even if these were reliable sources, we'd still be short of WP:ORGCRITE. signed, Rosguilltalk 23:57, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as no RS can be found. Self-promotional article with COI in doubt.--WikiAviator (talk) 01:28, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am convinced that the current format of the article is highly superior to the previous one. The content of the article neutral, without any promotion and advertisement. I agree that there are few viable sources (by the way, I would like to add some sources however as I see I cannot intervine). As it was said before, I consulted the other articles such as: Center of Financial Technologies, Deal sourcing, Itautec, Hyosung, FEXCO, CogitalGroup, Acorns (company) and many others. I would like to state the quality of the above-mentioned articles, sometimes, is shoddy. Thus, I am requesting to be removed the label to develop this article further, and I wish to be involved in developing of the other articles that have the similar problems. Thanks.--Sabrina.ok (talk) 08:04, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There are several hundred thousand articles in WP accepted in earlier years when the standards were lower that we need to either upgrade or remove. The least we can do is not add to them. DGG ( talk ) 05:24, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I start from the idea that the related company is not a recently established. They are people, which are certainly interested to be informed in this regard. From my side, I understand your feedback to this article. I am also an old reader of the encyclopedia, which has led me to participate with possible contributions. Like all of us, those who contribute to the development of the platform, I also respect my time to write something of good quality. As for the sources, I am assuring you that they will be updated in due course. I carefully analyzed the information placed before the article was proposed to be deleted and after. I disagree that it is an advertisement, I respected Wikipedia policies. I would be really interested to understand the existing logic related to the keeping of the articles before created, which however, do not correspond to the Wikipedia rules, and moreover, which clearly have the sense of promotion and publicity, in comparison with the new contributions, which are more qualitative both in providing the information and policies protection, are proposed to be deleted.--Sabrina.ok (talk) 18:06, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sabrina.ok, Thank you for that thoughtful, reflective, and understanding response. For clarity, your writing is quite good and, in my view, meets WP:NPOV. It's mostly objective, save for maybe the "Awards" category. That's not really in question; it's a question of whether multiple WP:RS (I require at least 3, and preferably, 5) exist to write more than a stub-class article. You might consider writing your article on Everipedia, which takes more of an inclusionist philosophy, or on Fandom. Doug Mehus (talk) 19:00, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for understanding, in fact, from the very beginning I keen on doing the text compliant with the WP:NPOV. Regarding the "Awards" chapter, I do not mind to exclude it. However, in the similar articles I found this chapter. As for the WP:RS chapter, which is in fact, the key reason for deleting the article, I emphases that there are two sources that are compliant with WP:RS. Then, I identified more sources that meets that policy. Moreover, it should be considered that this is a developing company and the viable sources will appear for sure. Thanks.--Sabrina.ok (talk) 20:55, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Sabrina.ok: I don't think you have to take "Awards" out, that's a side issue not germaine to this AfD. Looking at the as written sourcing, I'm not seeing any independent, reliable sources. There's a few fintech digital publications, which could be blogs—their independence and, crucially, editorial oversight and control has not been established. They're OK for supporting trivial details worthy of including, but not for establishing notability. (As an aside, I also do not consider CNN to be a reliable source, for similar reasons, but I digress.) As well, one other aspect worth noting is even if you can find independent sources to establish notability (WP:Notability/WP:NCORP, which are the key policies to reference here), you also need to consider both WP:SIGCOV and WP:CORPDEPTH. Hope this helps. Doug Mehus (talk) 21:03, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Sabrina.ok: Assuming this AfD results in a delete, you may want to consider creating a sub-page of your userpage to draft this article (i.e., User:Sabrina.ok/Draft:Salt Edge Inc.) and copying the text over to that draft wherein you can improve sourcing, assuming it exists, and then submit the article for review through Articles for Creation process, which helps to protect against future AfDs.

WP:NPOLITICIAN says that unelected candidates are not inherently notable, nor does her educational position make her notable. Also fails WP:GNG. —C.Fred (talk) 13:21, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- Nothing but routine coverage on the recent candidacy, it's not even a major party. Nothing suggesting the subject yet meets GNG, NPROF or NPOL, in english or Nepali sources. Quite certainly a PR campaign aimed at the election (created by a COI editor). UsedtobecoolTALK✨ 16:11, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win, but this makes no other strong claim that she has any preexisting notability for other reasons: neither being deputy administrator of a university, nor being on her political party's organizing committee, are instant notability freebies that would exempt a person from having to have a lot more reliable source media coverage than just a couple of short blurbs verifying and reverifying and rereverifying her unsuccessful candidacy.

Comment She was "deputy administrator" of Pokhara University. That is a title to sounds to me like it could be something quite high up in faculty (potentially indicating notbability), or it could be very minor. I don't know anything about how Nepali universities are organized, but it seems like something worth looking into. LadyofShalott 15:58, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
LadyofShalott, it looks like she was a deputy administrator at the Uni. This list is probably of the ones that have NPROF claims, while this list looks like the kind she might have belonged to.

The result was no consensus. Beyond the nominator, who argues for deletion, there is someone with a redirect !vote who also suggests the topic is notable. Two subsequent editors then seem to focus on process, accepting this redirect !vote's assessment of notability, rather than the specifics of this article and its notability (or lack there of). After two relisting with no further discussion there has thus been no further discussion and so there's not really a consensus to be had here. This close leaves open the opportunity for someone to improve the article and demonstrate its notability, redirect it to a valid target, or renominate it for deletion but for now the status quo remains.

Comment I don't understand the rush to delete. The page was prodded 3 hours after it was created, and then brought to AfD a day later. It doesn't seem to have had any page curation tags placed on it before that. The Talk page was created by the prodding editor - it has no Wikiprojects on it. Why not add Wikiprojects to the talk page and add tags to the article that it needs better sourcing? If the races are notable, per WP:ARTN ("Article content does not determine notability") and WP:NPOSSIBLE ("before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search"), it would surely be better to allow other editors to improve the articles than to delete or redirect them. A quick search of Google News and Newspapers.com shows that there was coverage. I have no interest in car races, but I am sure that there are editors who do, who could improve the articles. RebeccaGreen (talk) 04:47, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. The global news outlets, e.g. China (cite #1) and Vietnam (cite #7), are covering individual people, not the pageant per se. And we can ignore pageantopolis.com (cite #5 and #6) as having no evidence that it is a RS – in fact it is WP:SPS. Of course the pageant site itself (cite #8) doesn't work either. So we have generously three RSes that covered this. As to the prior comment, "local coverage" does not sustain a decision to keep an article per consensus, as noted at WP:DIVERSE.
Finally, the biggest problem here is WP:SUSTAINED/WP:PERSISTENCE, which is extremely unlikely to be met for an edition of an annual pageant – the three potential RSes noted just above are all from the month of October, 2019. – Bri.public (talk) 20:24, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of notability per WP:GNG. There are reviews but not by any well-known or highly-followed sources. Google search for Ironclaw Holmgren fails to reveal non-trivial discussion of the subject in multiple reliable sources. ...discospinstertalk 14:16, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: A quick look at the sources does show an improvement over the version of the article which was deleted a few months ago, although I would be happier if fewer of them from youtube – hopefully there are better reliable sources out there than what we have so far.

I would consider a review in the KODT magazine to be an independent reliable source. RPGnet's page on that magazine issue does indeed say that there was such a review. BOZ (talk) 21:35, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've asked someone who believes they have a copy to see if they can find out what it says. Might not be instantly to hand since it's almost two decades old. Not sure about the protocol for copyright there if others here wish to review it, but judging by other issues of the magazine it won't be a huge part of the work.

Delete I am unconvinced that there are enough reliable sources for this to be notable. The game has several reviews but most of them are from Youtubers rather than established sites.

Delete: While I am open to changing my vote if new sources arise, I didn't find any. It looks like we currently have 1 source worth mentioning, and I don't know how in depth The Fantasy Roleplaying Gamer's Bible is. Does anyone have a copy of the 2nd edition to see what it actually says on the subject? Rockphed (talk) 14:53, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Since the comment above, additional sources have been found. Both first and second editions - separated by over a decade, not counting expansions and spinoff novels - have at least one instance of published third-party coverage; though I'd like to see the first edition's coverage to judge its significance. Some references to the second edition are self-serving inasmuch as they comes from publishers or retailers with a vested interest; but the Iron Liz review does not appear to be - while generally positive, it offers criticism of certain features. This instance of the article does not go into excessive systems detail (if anything, it could draw more on features covered in said review); what's there now is backed by references. The claim regarding relative notability compares it to closely-related RPGs covered here, at a particular time; the citation (but, bizarrely, not the assertion) was removed by another editor, but nonetheless it remains accurate. There is evidence of sustained presence at major U.S. furry conventions (first, second and fifth by attendance) to the present day, and while some citations regarding this have also been removed, I found another in Fred Patten's Furry Fandom Conventions, 1989-2015.

Keep. Passes WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. WP:RSN confirmed that a doctoral thesis is a reliable source because it goes through rigorous academic peer review. The disertation given by Ken Lacy is significant coverage of Ironclaw.

Comment - Actually, the RSN ("Are Doctoral Theses considered reliable sources".) didn't discuss whether Lacy's Dissertation was acceptable as a source to establish notability. As was pointed out in the discussion and noted in the guidelines for the acceptability of academic sources WP:SCHOLARSHIP, dissertations written as part of the requirements for a doctorate should be used with caution. Additionally, most doctoral theses are primary sources. Primary sources are not independent as required by WP:GNG. To establish whether or not a source has it been accepted and supported by the mainstream academic community we generally use the citations it has received in citation indexes. This thesis doesn't appear in high regard in the academic community as Google scholar show only 9 citations in a field where you would expect a citation count in the 100+ area. "Google scholar search". CiteSeerx show no results for author or paper. According to reliable sources guidelines, this paper could be consider reliable for the author's opinion and possibly the author's conclusions but not much else. CBS527Talk 01:07, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This classification of a doctoral dissertation as "primary" and "not independent" in the context of Ironclaw doesn't make sense to me. What the guideline actually says is that "[Completed dissertations and theses] are often, in part, primary sources". The dissertation abstract makes clear that it examines the use of language within RPGs. The author did not write Ironclaw itself - he wrote about its use of language. This is likely to include both facts and opinion about Ironclaw; a portion that might be considered primary is the author's own ideas on language, set in relation to secondary source material, such as a summary of Ironclaw's use of language. To put it another way: Ironclaw is notable as it was selected for analysis by an independent academic (Ken Nozaki Lacy), with guidance from other academics (such as doctoral advisor and committee co-chair Dr. Mary Bucholtz, who was herself an invited speaker on identity in role-playing games in 2001-2), leading to facts and analysis of it being published by independent third-parties (New York University/ProQuest), which in turn was cited in other secondary or tertiary sources. I'm not sure what basis an arbitrary number of citations has been given, or indeed what field is being talked about (Role-playing games? Linguistics?), but it'd be great if someone with ProQuest access could actually use this source to obtain and cite a statement within Wikipedia's article on the topic, as evidence of its relevance for our purposes.

Delete None of the sources 4meter has found establish notability. 1st and 2nd are pure WP:INTERVIEWS without any indepth reporting outside of what the subject has said, and the third is not a WP:SIGCOV ("Aleksandra Stańco-Kozłowska became the champion of Warmia and Mazury in the Open Latin Freestyle 2017 category.

CommentWP:INTERVIEWS is an essay and not policy. The sources (the ones in the article and the ones I provided collectively) show sustained coverage over a number of years within her field, and they support her competition wins at notable events within her artform. Within this particular area, interviews in the media are the most likely place for quality sourcing and the greatest indicator of notability.

Spike 'em (talk) 12:48, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - honestly can't confirm that this person actually exists. To me it looks like their Twitter account was hijacked by a spammer some time around April, who then also created a Facebook profile for them, and began using both accounts to spam links for a telephone service. Prior to that they have what you'd expect of a professional athlete's social media profile: selfies, game photos, memes about rival teams, and so on. But he does not say what teams he plays for in that profile, for one thing, and also his official website is offline, and the only link in the article that might have been a reference is broken. Plus what everyone else has said about not being able to figure out which teams he claims to have played for. I'd be fine with returning this to draft space if I had faith that the creator was going to find sources and improve it, but their "this is a celebrity" rationale for reverting the move is not promising in that regard.

Delete as per WP:NOTDICT. [I don't know anything about AfD so will not contribute to subsequent discussion.] ♦ Lingzhi2(talk) 11:21, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Revert to disambiguation page. While the topic article only gives a dictionary definition, WP:NOTDICT is not a basis for deletion in this instance. To use as an example, let's take an article named Subsequent. (After coming up with this as an example, I found out that it exists as a cross-project redirect. Ignore that.) What would an article about the word "subsequent" be about? To my knowledge, there is no real encyclopedic information that can be associated with the term, so it doesn't warrant an entry in Wikipedia. However, it is a word that does indeed exist, so it should be an entry in Wiktionary instead. Now, for importance. The term importance is actually important, in the sense that there are encyclopedic topics that are known as "importance". These could be, but not limited to, the philosophy of importance and/or value, relative importance, social importance, etc. SnowFire points out that a disambiguation page used to exist here, which is what should be restored in this case.

CASSIOPEIA(talk) 11:22, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People do not get articles for running as candidates in elections they did not win, so having been an unsuccessful congressional candidate in 2012 has no bearing on his notability at all — but the roles he has held, on the board of trustees of a public community college and a local school board, are not roles that guarantee a person a Wikipedia article either, and this is referenced nowhere near well enough to make him a special case. To be considered notable enough for an article on these grounds, the bar he would have to clear is that he's been the subject of much, much more nationalized coverage than the norm for these roles, thus making him much more nationally notable than the hundreds of thousands of other people who've done the same things without getting Wikipedia articles for them. The references are a primary source board member profile on the college's own self-published website, which is not a notability-supporting source at all; a very short blurb about him withdrawing from a primary, which is not substantive coverage; and a glancing mention of his existence in an article that isn't about him to any non-trivial degree.

Dreadfully promotional article about a non-notable individual. The sources used in the article are not independent or reliable: [29] is written by his own organization; the other two references are dead but one is from the site "Fresh Expressions" which Peabody is affiliated with and one is from a Christian music licensing site. A WP:BEFORE search for "Rob Peabody pastor", "Rob Peabody VOMO" etc. only brings up press releases, blogs and non-independent sites. Fails WP:GNG.

WP:NOTNEWS. Such fires happen every day around the world, and get noted in the national news media, and then in most cases forgotten again. If this turns out to be one of these cases which aren't largely forgotten, then is the time to create an article. Fram (talk) 09:47, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep At least for now. The nomination seems to be a reason to not create the article. However it has already been created. As such, we should now wait (and without deleting) to see if "this turns out to be one of these cases which aren't largely forgotten". We can delete it in a few weeks, if so. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:30, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, the nomination is a reason not to have the article. We don't keep articles in the hope that they may turn out to be about notable subjects, e.g. many football player articles get created when they get a contract with a professional team, but we delete them and only let them be recreated when they have actually played for the team, which may be only a few weeks later as well. Furthermore, it is unlikely that lasting notability will somehow happen in a few weeks: if nothing happens with the fire, then lasting notability is very unlikely to happen in even a few years, unless it somehow leads to some new law or something similar. There is nothing in the article as it stands to suggest that this fire will be notable at any time.
A compromise could be to move it to draft space, and let it get moved back to mainspace if it becomes a notable fire. Fram (talk) 11:10, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now This could easily become a notable event, similar to e.g. the Buncefield fire. As it's already been created there's not need to draftify at this point. FOARP (talk) 11:23, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We should note that this fire is still being covered in reliable sources. Additionally, there may well be some kind of inquiry into it which may well extend coverage. Again, the comparison is the Buncefield fire, which was also a fuel-depot fire, but certainly became notable. Per WP:LASTING"It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect. This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable.". This is such a case - it seems entirely possible that this will be anotable event so we should wait to see it's impact. FOARP (talk) 08:33, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: With some time passed, maybe it will be easier to decide on notability and impact.

Delete per nom. Dime-a-dozen, run-of-the-mill event of no lasting significance. Claiming it may become notable falls afoul of WP:CRYSTAL. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:51, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The first is an essay, not a policy: the second is part of a policy and needs to be read in combination with the immediately following section WP:SUSTAINED, which this one by definition doesn't meet (yet?); basically, while "once notable, always notable" is a rule, the problem is that "once notable" cannot be established without sustained, not short-lived, coverage. Fram (talk) 08:04, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Fram - please familiarise yourself fully with WP:LASTING, particularly this bit: "It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect. This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable." Basically,, if it seems plausible that people will still be talking about this in a few months then we should keep for now. In this case, we know that there have been similar incidents (the Buncefield fire) that met notability, we know that there is still coverage of this event (air quality, potential link to an earthquake) in reliable source as of this week, we know that there will eventually be a report on the cause of the fire that may well receive WP:SIGCOV. FOARP (talk) 09:16, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am familiar with that page, thank you. That fire you keep referring to was " the biggest of its kind in peacetime Europe and certainly the biggest such explosion in the United Kingdom since the 1974 Flixborough disaster": "Because of an inversion layer, the explosions were heard up to 125 miles (200 km) away; there were reports that they were audible in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands". There are countless other fires comparable to the Nustar fire which don't have lasting notability, and which consequently don't have an article here. Taking an exceptional fire, with clear claims as to why it was exceptional, as a reason to keep a run-of-the-mill one because there is a small chance that it may turn out to be notable eventually, perhaps, who knows, it putting the cart before the horse. Fram (talk) 09:24, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If you were familiar with that page, then you should have taken account of the potential for further coverage. Indeed, just a search of today's ongoing coverage in reliable sources of the fire shows that it is still ongoing. E.g., It turns out that Nustar didn't notify Hazmat officials about the fire, it also turns out that regulations about tank-farms may well change as a result of the disaster, all big indicators of likely ongoing coverage and potential lasting impact. You're saying this is a "dime-a-dozen", but not providing any explanation for why, if it is a "dime-a-dozen" fire, it's still being covered ten days later and regulatory changes are being proposed as a result of it. FOARP (talk) 09:34, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
hich all looks like routine coverage in the immediate aftermath. Just like when you get some crime which makes regional headlines, and then gets minor regional followup accounts about investigation, arrest, conviction. Google News lists only 11 reports over the last week[30], all of them from local/regional news (either a local source, or the local section of a larger news outlet). If news coverage dwindles this rapidly, it isn't a fire with "lasting" effect and notability (based on what we know now). Fram (talk) 09:43, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Petty crime doesn't lead to changes in the law, nor even anyone proposing changes in the law. However, in this case, regulatory changes are being proposed - which is a classic indicator of notability as it shows it "act[ing] as a precedent or catalyst for something else" per WP:LASTING. Ten days isn't "dwindling quickly". FOARP (talk) 09:49, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"County regulations" (which is what may be changed here, "the county's industrial safety ordinance") are not the same as the kind of laws referenced in WP:LASTING though. Local regulations are in itself not even notable, and get changed all the time following events with a local impact. Neither the ordinances nor the things that lead to them are in most cases notable. Fram (talk) 10:02, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That is a different issue than state law being changed. There seems to be no evidence that changes to national or state-wide quake-check regulations are being proposed, where did you get this information? They are looking at whether there was a link between a quake and the fire, but that is not the kind of thing which wp:lasting is about. Trying to determine the cause of a fire is a normal step. Fram (talk) 11:28, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Fram - It's pretty clear that when people are reporting that the "quake-check" under state-law which has to be performed for most depots, but not this one because of the nature of the site, that this regulation is being looked at. It's also likely that a state and federal investigation into the fire/explosion is going to issue a state/federal-level report which may well include regulatory changes. At this point in time we don't actually need to have those changes in hand because we're still in the initial "weeks or months" period under WP:LASTING. FOARP (talk) 16:44, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
keep The nomination correctly states that "fires happen every day around the world", but then asserts that they "get noted in the national news media, and then in most cases forgotten again..."
GNG is the relevant policy here. Fires that receive substantive covered by reliable sources merit an article, today.
I thought policy was clear on this, as contributors, all of us, everyone voicing an opinion here, including me, including Jimbo Wales and our nominator, is supposed to understand that our personal opinions on the importance of topics is supposed to take a distant back seat to the opinions of authoritative reliable sources. Yet, the nomination seems to assert we should second guess those authoritative reliable sources, and put our judgement ahead of theirs, at some point in the future, when it asserts "If this turns out to be one of these cases which aren't largely forgotten, then is the time to create an article. "
Consider murder. Murders are common, and, depressingly, similar. That is why we have articles about practically zero murders. Most murders are so similar that our articles on murder and related topics provide adequate coverage of them. Murders that are somewhat exceptional may merit a sentence, or a paragraph, or subsection in a related article. Murders that are quite exceptional may merit a standalone article, or even a cluster of articles. It should all depend on what authoritative reliable sources say, with a minimum of editorializing on our part. While "fires happen every day around the world", a brief web search shows that this fire had exceptional elements. [31] Responders didn't follow procedures, making the response worse. That merits a standalone article today, not months or years from now. Geo Swan (talk) 17:24, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, BLP1E does not accord with artists and their single or multiple works. You have misunderstood the rationale here.

Membership in the academy is an automatic pass of WP:PROF#C3. Speedy because the nomination is extremely faulty: the nominator does not even appear to have considered our criteria for academic notability, relying instead on the wrong notability criterion, and has completely misunderstood the relation between the publisher of the biography and the subject as one of employment rather than as membership in a highly selective academic society. As well, the nominator has misunderstood even the wrong (general) notability criterion, and based the nomination only on the sourcing of the article itself without applying WP:BEFORE to look for other sources, which are not hard to find [33][34][35][36]. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:29, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The songs got onto the RPM Country Tracks charts, which does meet WP:NMUSIC criteria. However, coverage is sparse at best. "The Spurs" + "Blacktop Fever" turns up only Wikipedia mirrors and a Soundcloud upload, and the album is not listed on AllMusic or Discogs.
Among the few results their names turn up in RPM, I found only this:
This issue (page 23) least confirms that it was a husband-and-wife duo of Phil and Becky Holmes and is the only substantial coverage I could find. The blurb mentions "airplay overseas" which is not elaborated on whatsoever, and mentions a nomination at the "Big Country Awards" which do not appear notable.
This issue (page 12) mentions them passingly in the context of Don Grashey, a notable record producer who apparently established the label the duo was on, but notability is not inherited from rubbing elbows with more famous people.
This one (page 14) only reiterates the chart positions from a few pages up, and that the single is 100% Canadian content (important for those CanCon laws).
The only other two hits that aren't just the charts themselves are merely sidebar ads for the label which mention the duo and the single name, plus Don Grashey's name and the label. Again, not significant coverage.
Even doing "The Spurs" + "Becky Holmes" + "Phil Holmes" gives absolutely nothing that isn't from the pages of RPM. If it weren't for the fact that Phil posted the songs on Soundcloud, I would almost think this to be a copyright trap of some kind.
Delete and redirect the title to Spur (disambiguation). Sports teams with the name might be searched for with a preceding "The". bd2412T 19:26, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets the criteria at WP:NMUSIC as mentioned by the nominator. In the case of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Waycross (band) there was a clear place to redirect the article which is why the decision was made to not follow the normal policy. In this case, there is no place to redirect to, and blatantly ignoring the policy guideline sets a bad precedent.4meter4 (talk) 18:18, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
They may meet WP:NMUSIC, but there is literally zero sourcing. WP:NMUSIC is not set in stone. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jet Black Stare as another example of an artist who had a charted single but was deleted anyway due to an utter lack of reliable sourcing. Also, a redirect would not make sense in this case as "The Spurs" is an ambiguous title as it could refer to San Antonio Spurs among other things. There is only one, trivial source that even so much as confirms who was in the band, which is far from WP:SIGCOV. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:20, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You still haven't made a case as to why The Spurs should be kept. Yes, they meet WP:NMUSIC with a charted single, but as I illustrated above, sourcing is absolutely nil.

Delete as per rationale of nom. While WP:NMUSIC is technically met (if you AGF since the links are dead), NMUSIC also clearly states, "meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept". TenPoundHammer's assessment of the available online coverage is pretty spot on. Since there doesn't appear to be any in-depth coverage to support WP:GNG, and there is no viable redirect target, delete seems to be the only route to go.

@Jax 0677: and @4meter4: Would you be okay with me moving the article to The Spurs (band) and then redirecting to 1999 in country music, then redirecting just "The Spurs" to Spur (disambiguation)?

For future reference, [[User:7&6=thirteen]] works seamlessly, and I think better.
I did not fault you for compliance with WP:Before, as there are no other references that I could find on line. And I really tried. It is clear that you as the nominator tried, too; unlike many AFDs I've participated in. So you deserve props for that.
I would submit that they were part of the scene, and the article as NOW constituted makes a case for their notability, albeit over an apparently limited time span. The article is now what it was when it was nominated for deletion. Whether this changes things like WP:Hey, I leave for others to weigh. WP:Before mandates we should take into account what the article could become.
But Canadian country artists are not really my bailiwick; although I think that there origin is a mitigating factor for the apparent lack of coverage. Cheers. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:03, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets the notability requirement for bands. "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." We have the subject specific guidelines to avoid having to argue nonstop in AFDs about this and end up with random results whether the same thing is kept or deleted based on whatever random group of people show up and who closes it.

The result was keep. (disregarding nominator's !vote as a blocked LTA sock) Yunshui雲水 12:31, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article is a list of indiscriminate items. It lists six unrelated apps, all of which use the same three letters for their otherwise different file formats.
A template has erroneously identified this page as a set index article, defined as "a list article about a set of items of a specific type that also share the same (or similar) name". However, I wouldn't call "Microsoft Schedule", "Altium", and "Protel" similar names.
Update: Since this nomination, it has come to my attention that two of the items listed in this short laundry list are not apps at all; Altium is a company and Protel is its former name. A product named "Protel" in not listed in Altium § Products or the article's sole source. So, the designations "old versions" and "some versions" are inaccurate. In the absence of reliable sources, we don't know what else is bogus.
Update 2: The author of the page has since then changed both entries, so that they point to Altium Designer. Still, it is one product, no sources, and the original concern of not being a list of barely related items with no educational value.
Obvious keep. This is not an indiscriminate list of items but an article about the file extension ".sch", which is used by several ECAD programs for schematics. Actually, some of the programs in the list are even related (Protel and Altium) and use(d) variations of the same file format, thereby invalidating the nominator's claim, they were unrelated.
Depending on how much work will be put into the article it could become a full-blown article or remain a set list or trunced down to a disambiguation page. The reason why it cannot be changed back into a redirect (as it originally was) is because multiple ECAD programs use .sch as a file extension so there is no primary link target. The reason why deleting it would be an exercise in futility is because the article helps readers running into this file extension to select the correct application using this file extension in order to learn more about it. As design files are often interchanged, running into this scenario without knowing the program beforehand is a common scenario. The article name .sch is unlikely to collide with many other meanings, so there is no point in deleting it to make room for an article about a different topic. We have similar small articles about other file extensions for the same purpose of helping to disambiguate them and aid navigation. Deleting it would be destroying a piece of Wikipedia's infrastructure while gaining absolutely nothing for it in return.
Please make up your mind: Is it an article or a set index list? If it is an article, you have to deal with Wikipedia:Notability, which is lacking. As for "the nominator's claim, they were unrelated", it is actually the article's claim. It reads: "all using different file formats". And since you're the writer of the article, it is you who have said it. So, the claim that get invalidated is yours. flowing dreams (talk page) 05:34, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, in the current state it is a set index - this gives the most flexibility for further article work for now. But it could be reworked into a full-blown article over time or trunced down to a disambiguation page. But that's something that can be decided upon by contributors on the article's talk page and not a reason to nominate it for deletion.
Regarding the claim, the wording could be improved but is not incorrect as it is.
Nothing is bogus. It just comes apparent that you are not familiar with those EDA programs (the programs are typically referred to just as Protel and Altium for simplicity). That's not a problem, but your somewhat aggressive-demanding undertone is: Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and while it can be helpful for readers to comment on weaknesses in articles or missing information (on article talk pages, not by drawing the articles to deletion processes), in most cases the contributors already know about it and even might have plans how to improve the articles, but just had not enough time to research and/or add the new information yet. That's why anyone is encouraged to improve articles, including you. Together, and over time, the quality of articles will rise. But that's a lot of work, and it will take years.
(BTW. I moved your "update" down for chronology, because it was a significant modification of the original nomination, and if it would stay before the other comments, they could look as if they were out of context.) --Matthiaspaul (talk) 10:30, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Set indexes, disambiguation pages and redirects don't need any references at all, in fact they are even forbidden on the latter two types. Also, disambiguation pages don't need to be notable, they exist to aid navigation from ambiguous entries (like a file extension here) into related articles. WP:INDISCRIMINATE does not apply here (neither does WP:PRODUCT) - in fact, WP:NOTLINK even explicitly excludes disambiguation pages and lists: "Internal links, except for disambiguation pages when an article title is ambiguous, and for lists for browsing or to assist with article organization and navigation". So, it's perfectly okay to list the various EDA tools associated with file extension .sch here. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 19:36, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as perWP:INDISCRIMINATE. This is not any notable file-extension. People in the software industry can make custom file-extensions according to their needs. This seems one of these. KartikeyaS343 (talk) 15:07, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, this is the very nature of file extensions, but this does not make them non-notable. The opposite is true, they are notable because they are used by various programs (in this cases even many for which we have articles, thus even more notable). But either way, notability is not even a requirement for disambiguation pages and WP:INDISCRIMINATE does not apply to them either (see WP:NOTLINK). --Matthiaspaul (talk) 19:36, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate. The consensus above is, rightly, that there isn't a notable use for the extension. This means there shouldn't be an article in this space. But it's likely that someone who doesn't know what a .sch file is, and finds one, might look for more information in an encyclopaedia. They should find a disambiguation page that enables them to find that information. The "article" in its current form is nearly a disambiguation page already. And of course, disambiguation pages aren't subject to notability requirements.—S MarshallT/C 21:05, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As stated above already, I would not object changing this set index into a disambiguation page. The difference is small. What matters IMO is that there is an entry at this location to catch the file extension and help users navigate into the various articles. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 22:47, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know how we can fulfill the WP:DABMENTION requirements here. Half of these don't even a source. flowing dreams (talk page) 02:12, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is very easy to fulfill DABMENTION with a sentence like "This EDA tool uses the file extension .sch to store schematics" added to the articles. That would certainly be useful and I would not object to it at all, but is more a topic related to a discussion on article improvement rather than for AfD. Our MOS states that the purpose of disambiguation pages is to aid navigation, and that while we have some standard formats how to present the information, we are also free to choose other presentations if they serve the purpose better. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 19:36, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Would be a possibility as well, but given that there are several different entries for ".sch" already, I think it deserves an entry of its own. Also, the disambiguation page for "SCH" will likely grow considerably over time, so it's good to keep sub-groups separate. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 22:47, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If we can find a source for them, add those info to the corresponding articles and fulfill the WP:DABMENTION requirements, maybe. flowing dreams (talk page) 02:12, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a set index. This seems to fit the type well - "a set of items of a specific type that also share the same (or similar) name".

Delete, Firstly this is not a notable file extension. Secondly, this article is absolutely empty, as it only lists softwares that use ".sch", rather than telling the readers what is sch file. Moreover, this article is weak in citations as it relies on one single source.WikiAviator (talk) 05:48, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a normal article (although it could possibly become one in the distant future - but this is not an alternative right now). As a set index or disambiguation page it does not need to have any citations as all (they are even forbidden on disambiguation pages). Also, disambiguation pages don't need to be notable, their purpose is to aid navigation to articles related to the topic of disambiguation, in this case a commonly used file extension. Also, the very fact that this file extension is used by quite a number of EDA CAD tools for schematics establishes the need for disambiguation, because people will run into this extension and try to figure out what it is and which tools can be used to open the files. Not offering them the choice of links to related articles would be a disservice to our readers. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 17:54, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Helpling mediates between private cleaners and private households via its website, with the cleaner being hired by the household. At the time of the analysis, Helpling charges a fee of 20 percent of the hourly rate (14.90 euro) for its service. Applicants for work as cleaners via Helpling are pre‐screened before being admitted to the platform, which includes an intake interview to discuss the individual's motivation, a CV, references and work experience, and a test of the applicant's understanding of what cleaning involves. The prospective cleaner also has to submit a Certificate of Good Conduct (interview Helpling). The platform uses a rating system regarding the quality, reliability, and sociability of the cleaner.
The public debate concerning the cleaning platform Helpling concentrates on the social protection and the remuneration of the task provider. The current regulatory framework regarding cleaning in the home, the Home Services Regulation (HSR), was drawn up in January 2007 to protect the legal status of domestic cleaners. Working conditions include a safe and healthy workplace, minimum wage, and 8 percent holiday pay, paid annual leave and sick leave (for a maximum of 6 weeks). Cleaners are responsible for their own tax declaration. The HSR is not effective in practice, however, partly because private clients are not familiar with it. Instead, the large majority of Dutch household who rent cleaners, do so offline in the informal market and without any contract.6 Helpling applies the HSR as guideline (such as minimum wage including holiday pay) and also sends cleaners an annual statement of income which they can use to file their tax returns. An unknown share of cleaners may not pay tax, knowing that Helpling will not disclose their personal details and income to the tax authorities. This links to the public interest of fair competition. One can argue that Helpling is competing unfairly with regular cleaning companies, because few cleaners on their platform pay taxes and often have no social security (interview OSB).
Interestingly, in the public debate about Helpling there is little focus on the question of whether Helpling is not in fact an employer or a temp agency. The platform makes use of clients' reviews and in this way indirectly conducts continual quality checks on cleaners. Repeatedly poor performance reviews result in a talk and, ultimately, a cleaner may be denied access to the platform. Helpling also sets the hourly rate for a cleaning task. All this leads to a dependency relationship between platform and cleaner, with many cleaners acquiring a large proportion of their income through Helpling. To avoid being considered as an employer, Helpling performs no quality checks and deliberately does not give cleaners any instructions. Cleaners are also free to choose where and when they offer their services. More recently, Helpling changed its pricing policy, allowing cleaners to set their own price.
This article has the same authors as the first source.
The article notes:
This chapter considers the case of Helpling, a digital platform for domestic cleaning services. The key public interest addressed in this case study is the occupational status and legal position of the cleaner. The chapter starts with an introduction to Helpling. The existing cleaning market and how public interests are safeguarded in it are described in section 4.2, where we show that the legislative and regulatory framework for the sector has been under discussion for some time. Section 4.3 reviews the legal position of the domestic cleaner and the status of Helpling. Should Helpling be seen as an intermediary or an employer? And how can the legal position of domestic cleaners be safeguarded? The chapter concludes with an overview of the issues relating to public interests in the domestic cleaning market and the possibilities for strengthening the safeguards.
The article notes:
Helpling is a newcomer in the cleaning industry. The digital platform was founded in Germany in 2014 and operates in the domestic cleaning market. Helpling's founder secured an investment from Rocket Internet26 and shortly afterwards expanded the business into other countries, including the Netherlands.
Teddle began last April as a marketplace in which any demand could be listed, from clearing wisteria to teaching piano lessons. For co-founder Alex Depledge, it was a way to use the internet to make even the tiniest of local businesses accessible.
But Teddle, and other sharing economy businesses like it in the UK, are finding that their grand vision of a virtual labour market in which micro-entrepreneurs can strike a series of small deals is turning out to be depressingly akin to running a temping agency.
The London-based start-up was forced to make the first big shift in its business model when it found that searches for just one service – cleaning – outnumbered all others by a four to one ratio.

"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
It is clear that the journal article and the report provide significant coverage about Helpling. The two journal article and the report contain different material about the company so I consider them to be sufficiently different to be separate sources. There is no requirement for Helpling to be considered "the most important" of the five examples discussed.

Comment: To address the concerns about the sources being promotional coverage about Helpling, I searched for sources that provided negative coverage and critical analysis about Helpling. Helpling, which is based in the United Kingdom, has a heavy presence in Germany, so I focused on German-language sources:
Cancellation. Up to 48 hours before the appointment free of charge, until 24 hours before 10 euros fee, then: Costs for one hour cleaning. Simple process, good customer service, travel included, appointment reminder by SMS, value for money good. No correction guarantee in case of dissatisfaction, cleaning staff came and went too early, surprisingly hardly had knowledge of German, cleaning equipment had to be provided, pets were not taken into account, cleaning performance was only satisfactory
From Google Translate:
Language barrier. It also came as a surprise that our helpling was barely German and we had to quickly translate our carefully prepared checklist for cleaning into English - probably for those who then had vocabulary such as "decalcifier" and "faucet" on it. The other providers sent at least one German-speaking cleaning force.
This is a podcast on the show Hielscher or Haase with two people: moderator Marlis Schaum and Sandra Pfister from Deutschlandfunk Nova's business department. From a Google Translate summary of the episode:
Cleaning aid per app: This is possible for some time on many online portals. Helpling is currently expanding in Germany, with a cleaning hour costing customers 12.90 euros. And you can also deduct from the tax. Good: The cleaning staff do not have to work black. That sounds good. However, the Stiftung Warentest has its doubts as to whether the Helpling bill can really be deducted from the tax. The reason: If you let clean, does not transfer the cleaning power directly, but to the online portal Helpling. A step that is not provided for in the Income Tax Act, says Sandra Pfister from our business office. Customers have to wait and see if they really get their money back at the next tax return.
Despite this uncertainty - the business of Helpling and similar providers is running. Customers in Germany can now choose between several providers. Behind Helpling is Rocket Internet, a company of the Samwer brothers, which, among other things, brought the clothes sender Zalando on the stock exchange.
"Cleaning ladies who work at Helpling have no fixed income, no protection against dismissal, no paid leave." Sandra Pfister from the economics department.
Of the start-ups, who started with much verve, there are only a few left, and the market has consolidated. After the "The Winner takes it all" rule in the platform industry, the company Helpling , which was founded by Rocket Internet, gradually took over competitors such as clean agents or family helpers and thus became the leading provider of private-sector mediation. Competitor Book a Tiger specialized more and more in commercial customers. The US company Homejoy retired from Germany.
But also the way from Helpling was not free from difficulties. In 2015, the company had to lay off a fifth of its employees, Rocket Internet then corrected the company's value by over twelve million down. As a result, the start-up softened its business model and opened its platform for other household-related services such as furniture construction or clearing out. With private cleaning alone, there seems to be no business to do.
Nevertheless, Helpling, which is also active in Singapore, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, today sends several orders a day in Berlin alone in Berlin alone. The cleaning staff are self-employed and set their own prices. However, you have to calculate that Helpling will keep a commission when making a booking. For a one-time cleaning, 32 percent of the hourly rate is charged, with regular cleaning 25 percent including VAT.
In contrast, those who order a "helpling" do not necessarily get what many people imagine under a classic cleaning aid in Berlin: it is often young students or life artists from countries such as Australia, France, Portugal, Spain or the USA who are necessarily in Berlin want to live and stay afloat with side jobs. Most do not speak German.
Helpling has meanwhile removed the word "professional" from the website - it now guarantees a "high-quality" cleaning, which is to be ensured through a rating system, among other things.
...
In the test of the "world" the quality of the cleaning work of the "Helplinge" was mostly good - but occasionally they were not punctual. It also turned out to be difficult to set up a "wish helpling" - it always came back somebody else. The customer must then be at home, go through an introduction again and again and can not simply hand over his key.
...
Conclusion: The cleaning gantries are better than illicit work - but you should not expect the professionalism of a cleaning company from the low-cost suppliers. Anyone ordering a helpling in Berlin must also be prepared to communicate in English only.
The fact that Helpling has been doing everything for years to avoid being understood as an employer is well known. For some, Franke is a posterboy of the privileged neo-liberals, for others a mastermind who fights the black market and advocates more self-determination for solo self-employed in the low paid sector.
...
But how is it going to work that this cohesion of customer and service provider continues to take place via the Helpling app? It remains to be asked why both should not leave the app system behind after a successful test run, and make a payment in which eliminates the percentage of Helpling.
...
Whether this security can outweigh the safety in terms of dismissal and occupational safety as well as pension and health insurance, the solo self-employed must decide for themselves.
The article includes a right of reply from Helpling's co-founder.
Summary of sources
Wiebke Hugen wrote in the Germany business magazine Guter Rat in a review of Helpling, "No correction guarantee in case of dissatisfaction, cleaning staff came and went too early, surprisingly hardly had knowledge of German, cleaning equipment had to be provided, pets were not taken into account, cleaning performance was only satisfactory".
Sandra Pfister, who works in public broadcasting station Deutschlandfunk Nova's economics department, said in the Hielscher or Haase radio program, "Cleaning ladies who work at Helpling have no fixed income, no protection against dismissal, no paid leave" and noted that there was significant uncertainty over whether Helpling customers could get a tax return from the Helpling bill based on the Income Tax Act.
Thorsten Mumme wrote in Der Tagesspiegel, a German daily newspaper, that "Helpling was not free from difficulties" in that it had to lay off 20% of its employees in 2015 and its investor Rocket Internet reduced its value by more than 12 million. The article provides further analysis by saying the company could not do further business with only private cleaning, so it began to do other household services including making furniture and moving people's belongings.
Stephan Dörner wrote in the national German newspaper Die Welt that "you should not expect the professionalism of a cleaning company from the low-cost suppliers. Anyone ordering a helpling in Berlin must also be prepared to communicate in English only."
Katharina White in Berliner Morgenpost provides critical analysis of the company, writing, "It remains to be asked why both [customers and cleaners] should not leave the app system behind after a successful test run, and make a payment in which eliminates the percentage of Helpling."

It is not true that this is "A small wave of PR-generated media attention focussed in London five years ago, almost exclusively for the period February-June 2014." The five sources I provided at 04:50, 20 October 2019 (UTC) were published by newspapers and magazines based in Germany in 2015, 2015, 2018, 2018, and 2019, which is over a span of multiple years. These sources are about Helpling and provide negative coverage and critical analysis of Helpling. The peer-reviewed academic journal article Policy & Internet was published in 2019 and provides three paragraphs of coverage about Helpling. Cunard (talk) 19:24, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Five pieces in a period of four years cannot constitute significant coverage. In terms of the content, the German-language sources are either consumer-review, road tests of multiple cleaning service companies or about the unregulated, precarious nature of work in the gig economy. All but one (and that one, the Berliner Morgenpost is regurgitating material from the companý's press kit) refer to Helpling as one example among many - the articles cited only provide notability for issues related to the gig economy (ie web-based provision of unskilled labour, lack of tax, failure of labour market regulation etc), not Helpling per se. All of this is trivial coverage of Helpling. The Policy & Internet is one single, peer-reviewed 28 page article, which only discusses Helpling directly in three paragraphs (so about 1.5% of the entire article) - this alone cannot indicate ongoing notability. Helpling is used as a case amongst many - again reinforcing the point that the company is an example of a wider phenomenon, but not notable by itself.--Goldsztajn (talk) 09:29, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All of the sources I provided "addres[s] the topic directly and in detail".
The Berliner Morgenpost article is not "regurgitating material from the companý's press kit". It includes quotes from an interview with the company's founder but it also has critical analysis of the company. It says "It remains to be asked why both [customers and cleaners] should not leave the app system behind after a successful test run, and make a payment in which eliminates the percentage of Helpling." It includes other critical analysis such as "For some, Franke [founder of Helpling" is a posterboy of the privileged neo-liberals, for others a mastermind who fights the black market and advocates more self-determination for solo self-employed in the low paid sector." The article further notes that the cleaning service is cheap but not everything goes to the cleaner who has several fees they must pay Helpling.
To say categorically that "Five pieces in a period of four years cannot constitute significant coverage" has no basis in the notability guideline.
If the topic was the gig economy, then yes, the majority of the pieces cited would lend support for notability. The extent of coverage over periods of time is a component in assessing notability, see WP:SUSTAINED: "New companies and future events might pass WP:GNG, but lack sufficient coverage to satisfy WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, and these must still also satisfy WP:NOTPROMOTION."--Goldsztajn (talk) 22:08, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
TThe WP:SUSTAINED guideline refers to "New companies and future events". Helpling was founded in 2012. It is no longer a "new company". Helpling received significant coverage in 2015, 2015, 2018, 2018, and 2019. This is between three and seven years after its founding. That Helpling is not a "new company" and that it received significant coverage over a span of five years means it passes WP:SUSTAINED.
The following stands out: Helpling is a company that comes into existence in 2015 following the acquisition of other companies. The majority of material presented as WP:RS on the company are churnalism. There is no newspaper of record coverage of Helpling (although there is one item of its earlier incarnation). What material does not fall into those categories discusses Helpling with other companies in the context of the gig economy. There is nothing here to indicate why this company is actually notable.--Goldsztajn (talk) 23:55, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Per Nom of WP:NOTNEWS, WP:TOOSOON, and Wikipedia:1E as well as the mentioned BLP concerns. Add WP:RECENTISM (dates of Oct 16-21, 2019) and that it is clearly a pseudo biography gives any one of six reasons for for not having stand alone status. The creator is not new to Wikipedia so one would think know how to request userfication. Then again, it would seem creating an article such as this would be considered something from a newer editor unfamiliar with policies and guidelines, but what do I know?

Overly in-depth, in-universe, WP:PLOT-only topic that fails GNG as far as I can see. No way am I looking individually at 400+ references, but I'm not seeing anything to establish notability with a cursory glance. If there isn't one already, I'm sure a setting article on the series' universe/multiverse could flourish, but that would in no way require such a list of minutia. Proper context for minor locations is certainly covered in the text of the few hundred episode articles, so there is no way you could justify this being a necessary split. This is information only the most hardcore fans need, which I'm sure is covered at Fandom or another wiki on the series. TTN (talk) 02:56, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can and have voted keep on articles with significant amounts of fictional content. There are editors out there who are under the impression that I am some kind of deluded BSG/Star Wars/Star Trek fanboi because of the regularity with which I do so. However, in each case it's because I've found sources sustaining notability of the article. In this case, I cannot find any such sources. If there are reliably-sourced books or articles out there discussing the planets of Doctor Who, I have failed to find them. FOARP (talk) 09:22, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Zamper links to a stub article with no references. Mondas has references but all of them from primary sources. Gallifrey has a long article with 84 references, I not bothering to look through them all right now. What about other worlds linked? Skaro, Vortis (Doctor Who), Telos (Doctor Who), Mars (Doctor Who). How many of these meet Wikipedia's standards for notability? If enough of them are valid articles then this list is justified. If not then just redirect this to Doctor Who. While listing information does help people understand this notable long lived series better, they can find this information easily on wikia/fandom with far more detail so no reason for it to remain on Wikipedia.

I checked all those planet articles, and they all seem like fancruft to me that wouldn't pass GNG. The majority of them are clear candidates for merging/redirecting.

Comment - Aoba47 -- If we do end up choosing to redirect it to Babylon 5 or to another article, we could always add a small section to that article that would summarize the important information from this article over there.

I mistakenly put this up for PROD not spotting that it had been prodded before. I’m bringing it to AfD as I can’t see anything to support notability. Mccapra (talk) 02:09, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I expanded the article and added RS. This collaboration resulted in a standard, and a simple WP:BEFORE-style search shows quite a few sources. Four of the sources now in the article are reliable and independent of the JIDM spec authors and go in some depth on the topic. I think there is enough sourcing to satisfy WP:GNG. Because it is the spec that is important, renaming to Joint Inter-Domain Management Specification might be considered. If others disagree on notability, this is still verifiable material and per our policy WP:ATD, alternatives to deletion are preferred for verifiable material. One alternative is a merge to X/Open, the co-originator of the JIDM, or The Open Group, the ones who published the spec. In any case, I do not recommend deletion. --((u|Mark viking)) {Talk} 03:46, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to List of Babylon 5 characters. Clear consensus to get rid of this article but not whether a deletion is the best way to go about this, nor is it clear whether the content could be reused.

Could you look at the List of Babylon 5 characters and see whether you think moving any content would be suitable? There are entries on the list that also do not meet the notability guidelines to be a standalone article, yet information is still present under the respective entries. I'm not familiar with the series myself, but I feel like moving information on this topic to a general list of characters would probably be the best course of action. Unless of course it turns out that most of the entries aren't notable, then the list itself could possibly go through AfD. I don't have an opinion on that matter as of now.

Seems to fail WP:GNG/WP:NFICTION. Minor coverage of a single incident involving toy recalls. There are mentions in passing out there on the web, mostly toy ads or niche reviews on blogs etc. In the books it's not much better. An Analytical Guide to Television's Battlestar Galactica[38] mentions it eight times, but all are in passing, 6 times while recalling various plots (episode stories), one sentence that there were toys, and another one about the design change in comic books. Similar mentions in passing occur in So Say We All: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Battlestar Galactica ([39]) - four mentions, nothing substantial. Nothing else I saw had more than 1-2 similar mentions. Scholarly sources are even worse, 2-3 mentions at best like from [40] "USAF pilots disliked the official name and instead called the F-16 the “Viper,” apparently because it recalled “Colonial Viper,” the name of a fighter spacecraft on the 1978 TV show Battlestar Galactica." Sorry, but this is not enough to show significance in the real world, a few trivial facts spread around a bunch of sources does not constitute 'significant coverage' as requested by GNG. But fret not, all this old fancruft can safely exist at https://galactica.fandom.com/wiki/Viper - feel free to transwikify (copy) anything that's not already there.

The article is about a Minecraft server that was created in October 2019. Off the bat, this topic is most certainly too new per WP:SUSTAINED to be an article. However, notability has also not been established, and the article does not cite any sources. I'm probably not in the right circle to make an opinion on notability, so I wanted to run it by others instead of hastily PRODding it. Notability seems extremely unlikely, but Minecraft servers have had articles. Utopes (talk) 00:40, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
