Janus University[edit]

Coherency (homotopy theory)[edit]

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

This article has been in the Draft namespace for some time, and has been nominated for deletion at MfD twice. The most recent discussion, Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Coherency (homotopy theory) (2nd nomination), resulted in a consensus to move the article into mainspace and see if it lives through an AfD. This is a procedural AfD, so I'm not putting forth any opinion as to whether it should be kept or deleted. ‑Scottywong | [chat] || 22:30, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Homotopy theory. Too thin, in unjustified WP:SPINOUT. Get talk page consensus before making spinouts. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:40, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Both the title and the lede sentence assert that the topic is a subtopic or derivative topic of Homotopy. Neither that article nor it’s talk page contains even the word “coherency”. Making a separate page is certainly premature, and I am arguing, bad structurism. Notability of finely sliced mathematical topics is poorly defined, Wikipedia-notability doesn’t work for it. The approach should be as I say, structuralist. Coherency is meaningless without knowledge of Homotopy. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:29, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, Homotopy theory is itself only a redirect, although it's a fairly major topic in algebraic topology and certainly deserves an article (the broad topic ones are always the hardest to write though ). A homotopy is merely a specific kind of function, covered by the article there, along with some related notions. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 01:31, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article's in somewhat rough shape, but the topic itself is notable enough for an article. Merging (as suggested above) would be an inappropriate inclusion of a fairly specific topic in a very broad article. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 22:43, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I just marked it as a stub as well. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 22:48, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The topic is notable (in the Wikipedia sense if my parents don’t know about it). I don’t think the merger works because this is fairly a specific topic. There are probably not featured-article-level materials to cover but are probably still enough for a modest-size article. — Taku (talk) 23:07, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- You should try it. Failure to achieve the merge, with agreement to spinout, is justification for the spinout. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:29, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You mean merger? It's not something to try; for example, the section of Mac lane coherence theorem would appear very odd in homotopy theory article. The draft was not started out as a spinout anyway. Some small article on a village in Japan might be, length-wise, put in the Japan article, the result looks very odd. -- Taku (talk) 23:52, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a reasonable comparison. Homotopy is not squeezed for space like Japan.

At a minimum, can you introduce a mention of coherency at Homotopy? Can you tell me what about coherency is not connected to Homotopy? —SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:11, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would be somehow misleading (the best place to mention it at see also): just because some village exists in Japan, that doesn’t mean it deserves a section in the Japan article. Similarly, not every topic in homotopy theory deserves a section in the homotopy article.

Wikipedia currently does not have a list of homotopy theory topics; the closest would be Glossary of algebraic topology. Merging this page into it also doesn’t seem natural. It seems the most natural to discuss this topic in a separate articles, just as many other topics are discussed in separate articles. -— Taku (talk) 23:12, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: As others have observed, this is too thin to stand on it's own in my view. Merge to Homotopy any content that is unique and expand the content until it meets WP:SPINOUT criteria. Hasteur (talk) 01:07, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Coherency does not logically fit into the article about homotopy, so artificially sticking it there makes no sense. It would only even barely fit into an article about Homotopy theory (barely because homotopy theory is a very broad topic, while coherency is too narrow), which doesn't even exist. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 01:13, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Can you make that statement at talk:Homotopy. Are you saying Homotopy should not mention coherency? —SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:48, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I object to DV's kibitzing and attempting to argue that because no direct page exists as a good merge/redirect target this page should still be left alone. If homotopy theory exists as a redirect, perhaps Coherency (as a subset of homotopy theory) should live there to help raise homotopy theory to the level of it's own spinout. Hasteur (talk) 01:55, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with this. I read “merge with Homotopy theory, spinout the merger from Homotopy. I also note there are no valid deletion arguments, and suggest User:Scottywong close this as WP:Speedy keep #1, no valid reason for deletion. Instead, it belongs at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:39, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@SmokeyJoe: With respect, I point out that Proposed mergers is open ended and (in experience with certain editors in Mathematics stubs) will remain proposed for years and then when a editor comes in to enact what seems like a low effort/hostility action of redirecting the page and leaving the previous page history, the editor will revert citing "Vandalism", Disruptive editing, Personal attacks, etc. Anything to keep "their" content from being rolled over and an anathema to the purpose of a collaberatively edited encyclopedia. Hasteur (talk) 12:59, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have returned to a higher level position that AfD should not be destroyed as a viable deletion forum by accepting difficult merge proposals. Coherency (homotopy theory) is a very thin topic, and appears to only have serious connection to one other topic, Coherency, making it obviously a derivative topic, and in my opinion prematurely spunout. Some are now arguing that Coherency (homotopy theory) can't be merged to ~~Coherency~~ Homotopy, but ~~Coherency~~ Homotopy must first be split to create ~~Coherency theory~~ Homotopy theory. That may be fair, although I think it is filibustering, presenting endless new arguments to prevent a decision. This is a misuse of AfD unless there is a valid single argument for deletion. i.e. Should this page be redirected, with an option to merge later? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:40, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I’m very confused. (1) “very thin topic”; no I disagree. I think the article already gives enough numbers of references. Also, nlab has many articles related to the matter of coherency or coherence so the topic appears to be significant enough for a stand-alone article. (2) Coherency is just a disambig page and the merger with it doesn’t work. I have never heard of “coherency theory” (and who is proposing that we start it??). For me, the article looks, whole rough, ok and I still cannot see why it needs to be a part of the other articles. —- Taku (talk) 02:18, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. Homotopy, not Coherency. fixing. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:30, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am not much into specialized mathematics topics, but my impression of mathematics is that it produces many journal articles on very thin topics. Many journal articles does not imply breadth of topic. For breadth of topic, one must look for independent secondary sources citing multiple primary sources. I believe that this is a general challenge for mathematics topics, but leeway is usually allowed.

The criticism of User:TakuyaMurata's drafting, which I join, is that he does not appear to even seek consensus on related mainspace talk pages for closely related thin topics. His insistence on working in draftspace, as oppose to with others in WP:Wikiproject Mathematics, contributes to this concern. I think he crosses the WP:SPINOUT guideline. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:36, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, it now makes sense :) I agree not every topic that ever appears in a journal to be considered significant enough to be treated in an independent article. But that's precisely why the article gives math (text)books as well. (Not every journal article is of equal weight and "Retiring Presidential Address" one by Mac Lane seems very significant; note Mac Lane is not your average mathematician.) There are many subtopics to this article such as homotopy coherence, or coherent homotopy category, etc. I agree they may be "thin" topics but "coherency" in homotopy theory and (higher) category theory does not seem to be a case. As I said, nlab is very similar to Wikipedia albeit specialization in math and the amount of stuff there seems to suggest there are enough materials to cover in Wikipedia as well. Determining the topic is significant enough can be done through an AfD just like this one. --
On "seek consensus on related mainspace talk pages", because there is no need; in Wikipedia, we allow every editor (registered-and-editing-for-awhile user) to just start a new article on a new topic. Of course, some editors may then mass-generate articles on topics that are off-topics, non-notable, etc, that Wikipedia should not cover. We deal with them by talking to them or kicking out them from Wikipedia. The community consensus, as I understand, is that I am not among those. (I know the user Hasteur would want us to think otherwise though). -- Taku (talk) 03:22, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It would be more collegiate to advertise your draft ideas on relevant talk pages. There may be no need, but it would be ideal. Surely you don't mean your drafts to look like walled gardens? I think this would be a good guideline: If your new page could be considered a spinout of any existing page, state your intentions (implicitly invite feedback) on its talk page. Ensure that this existing page includes at least one mention of the topic of the new page. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:18, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't mean not to do "advertisement" if drafts are related to existing topics; although drafts are usually started because the topics are not covered in mainspace. I agree on "walled gardens" but again is there really such a concern? I mean which garden?? WikiProject Math is aware of Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/List of math draft pages; note the list contains many draft pages started by other than me. -- Taku (talk) 06:19, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you are going to write a lede sentence In mathematics, specifically in homotopy theory as well as (higher) category theory, I think these two linked articles should mention the topic. Also, the lede sentence should restate the name of the topic. Style and structure issues, not reasons for deletion. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:36, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Walled gardens"? A better term is "near-orphan". I see you are de-orphaning, which is good. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:40, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, no disrespect, but that’s not quite workable in practice. It is often the case that there are too many topics in each subfield of mathematics to list; one has to ask if each topic is central to the field to mention that topic in the article on the field. I don’t think that’s the case for this one (though it makes sense to have links to this page in the “see also” section). About “Walled gardens“: that goes to the heart of the problem on the namespace that shall not be named (and will not make further comments). —- Taku (talk) 23:18, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The prohibition of mainspace articles linking to draftspace, and the blindness of mainstream content writers and editors to draftspace, are reasons why subfield spinouts should not be done in draftspace, except where there is an explicit article_talk page consensus to do so. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:53, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Catoblepas. Hyperbolick (talk) 05:18, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd personally argue against a merger here since, as mentioned, there is no reliably sourced material to really merge. In addition, the catoblepas is a fairly common creature to be used in fiction, so merging information on this version of it to the main article on the myth would be giving undue weight to this un-notable iteration of it. Rorshacma (talk) 14:32, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If anything, I would keep this page for linking the fictional character, and link the forgotten realms wiki page for more specifics on the creature itself. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.34.175.146 (talk) 12:53, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a regional news broadcaster - he reports on national news about major political events, and receives attention from other news media for doing so.

I don't think a single article in a reliable, but nonetheless niche outlet, is sufficient for establishing notability.

      - Usually people differentiate between web logs and newspapers when it comes to reliability, so you are not really on a par. I agree that multiple is good, having been one of the major original advocates of it, but the problem was that your nomination rationale did not address the elephant in the room, which was definitely not "mentions in passing and rewritten press-releases".
        It's a non-trivial biography. It names the person's wife, and discusses his children, hobbies, and parental background. It's coverage in Spanish because this person bought a media group in Spain, of course.
        Several other Spanish language sources, including a book on PRISA (Balcarce 2018, p. 357) and CM 2009, reference Pozzi 2009, which is not applicable for notability. I mention it because it is clearly not the source for Martínez 2009, and that one is not a re-hash of one Spanish interview. Then there are the likes of DN 1994 which is another, much earlier (and thus with far less to say, but equally more of a focus on early life), biography. Again, we have background information including education and first job. You are in fact definitely not on a par, unless newspapers have been publishing biographies of you across two decades, too. ☺

(such as the second source cited which doesn't even mention the subject).

Delete – Zero individual work outside of Twice, simply being a member of the group does not warrant notability Snowflake91 (talk) 10:04, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and move to Jihyo - Although she does not yet meet WP:SINGER for not having a solo career, top K-pop bands such as Twice, BTS, and Blackpink are such worldwide phenomena that I believe all band members satisfy WP:ENTERTAINER #2 for having an unquestionably "large fan base". All BTS and Blackpink members already have their own articles. Six of Twice's nine members have been voted among the top 20 most popular idols in Gallup Korea's annual polls, and it's safe to assume the other three, including Jihyo, are not far behind. Her personal influence is well attested in the recent media frenzy over the news that she's dating Kang Daniel, which has been reported worldwide even in mainstream media, often as "breaking news", see Teen Vogue, E-Online, The Standard, South China Morning Post, SBS Australia, just to name a few, and The Standard instantly declared them a K-pop "power couple" [3]. -Zanhe (talk) 20:52, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As a side note, Jihyo already has articles in 12 languages of Wikipedia, while the creation of many major K-pop stars on English wiki have been held back for years by a small group of editors who religiously adhere to WP:SINGER while ignoring all other criteria for notability. See the hugely time-wasting AFDs for Kang Daniel, for example: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kang Daniel (2nd nomination). Just months after his article was deleted/redirected, Kang won major entertainment awards and his article was promptly recreated, and countless hours of editor time were wasted in the process. See also discussion on Talk:Lisa (Thai singer)#Individual notability. -Zanhe (talk) 21:24, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Then simply make a rule that WP:NSINGER doesnt apply for K-pop and simply create a stub articles for every single band member of all k-pop groups, WP:ENTERTAINER #2 is so subjective and general that literally every k-pop group member would pass this by "being popular" – but what makes someone having a large fanbase? 100 fans, 1000 fans, 1 million fans? And this dating reporting would simply be WP:SINGLEEVENT, this is not in-depth coverage of Jihyo but just a routine current event reports. And dont assume that because a few of her band-mates were voted as the top 20 most popular, that she is also very close to that – where is the source that she is? Every single member needs to be notable in its own way, it doesnt matter if all other members already have articles or not, its like saying that being friends with notable people also makes you notable. And dont compare BTS and Twice (and therefore their members) in terms of popularity, BTS are among the biggest musical artists in the world right now and probably the most popular boy band of all time, while Twice is popular only in Japan and Korea – here in Europe, as much as 98% population would not know who Twice are, while BTS would definitely be recognized and are also covered in local media. Snowflake91 (talk) 22:58, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, who says someone has to be popular in Europe to become notable? Secondly, I'm a Canadian too old to follow pop music, not to mention K-pop, but I've gotten to know all the Twice members because my kids and their friends can't stop talking about them (even though none of them speak Korean) and their music is often played in local restaurants. And sites in Vancouver where they shot a music video have become tourist destinations. When we were vacationing in Barcelona last year, several times my kids noticed that Twice songs were playing in shops or restaurants. The concept of notability is subjective by nature, but the media frenzy from half way around the world, even in English speaking countries, over her personal life is strong indication of her notability. -Zanhe (talk) 23:55, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Snowflake91 "while Twice is popular only in Japan and Korea" if that's so, then why Twice did 3 full concerts in USA, and also another sold out in Mexico? You have no idea how popular Twice (and the whole Kpop) is in Latin America, there are TV channels and radios dedicated to them, and there are many dance cover Twice groups. Also "BTS are ... probably the most popular boy band of all time" I hope that's not in their article, otherwise I'd have to add the template for "source needed" and "according to who?", YouTube views do not make a group big or important, specially fake views and purchased views, and also cheated views from their small fandom who compulsively stream their videos the whole day using eg: 3 phones, 2 tablets, 2 laptops, etc. at the same time. "And dont compare BTS and Twice", obviously not, in 2016-2017, BTS was just nobodies while Twice was already #1 girl group in Korea. --†_JuanPa_† (talk) 07:45, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect – Nothing in the article suggests individual notability. None of the information that is actually about Jihyo herself is even sourced apart from her place of birth, and the pre-debut section has trivial information like her being the “face” of some teen line and her changing her name. The only thing in the article that would warrant notability is the single that was released, but that is unsourced and lacks any charting information that would make it notable. People date, celebrities date, celebrities date celebrities. What exactly is notable about this? Because media outlets reported it? That’s usually what happens when celebrities date. One article happens to call them a “power couple”? Not exactly notable. Stating that she has a large fan base would work — if that was even mentioned in the article with proof. It isn’t, and “assuming” anything isn’t what Wikipedia is for. I’d also like to point out that what articles exist on other language Wikipedia’s isn’t necessarily relevant, they run completely independent of each other and may have completely different guidelines when it comes to notability. Alex (talk) 23:19, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The whole concept of notability for pop idols is based on popularity and media attention, so media frenzy from all over the world, even in English speaking countries, over her romantic life is strong indication of her notability. And even her celebration of a Korean holiday is reported by CNN Indonesia. I agree the existing article is terrible, but if we delete it, nobody will be able to improve it. Instead, people are going to keep recreating it and it'll keep getting deleted because of prior AfDs, as happened in many cases before, wasting tons of time and effort. For a particularly well known case, in addition to the above-mentioned Kang Daniel, see the deletion review for Harry Styles, which was created and deleted multiple times before finally being restored. -Zanhe (talk) 00:11, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, "if we delete it, nobody will be able to improve it" is not a valid reason for not deleting it, maybe they should do a draft first and release an actual good article and not just random pretty much unsourced fan-written article. Its like saying "I will create an article about myself, maybe I will be notable one day and maybe someone in two years will greatly improve my article, so dont delete it right away". Secondly, Kang Daniel was recreated much later after it was initially deleted because he released solo songs which charted, thus passing criterias for singer; furhtermore, he was nominated for the major entertainment award, passing #8 of WP:MUSICBIO. Thirdly, WP:GNG specifically says that the coverage must be in-depth, and not trivial mentions – Indonesian report, which basically just includes her Instagram posts of her celebration, is exactly that, half of the article is even about some other singers. And the article will get redirected not deleted anyway, so "hard work" (a.k.a unsourced fan trivia) will not be really lost, and even if it get deleted, those two-three sentences that you can write about Jihyo outside of her Twice career can be done in 5 minutes. Snowflake91 (talk) 10:03, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, comparing yourself to one of the world's best known pop stars (even as a member of a group) is beyond ridiculous. Secondly, our notability guideline for people (WP:BASIC) says "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". I've now added multiple independent sources to the article, including Time magazine. Thirdly, when an article is turned into a redirect, many inexperienced editors don't know how to find formerly written info from article history, and would rewrite them over and over again. For example, when Lisa (Thai singer) was finally restored after discussion, admins had to perform histmerge on at least five different versions of the article (several of which were deleted/redirected by you), see partial log, and that doesn't even include abandoned and deleted drafts. This is a huge waste of editor and admin resources, despite your casual dismissal of other people's effort. -Zanhe (talk) 22:15, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So? The fact that the article will be recreated by fancruft new editors and should therefore just be kept to prevent having 5 articles about her with different titles everytime is completely invalid argument for not deleting it, so I dont know what is your point. Then instead of redirecting, I will simply mark all new articles (like Jihyo (Twice) or something like that) for speedy deletion per Wikipedia:G4 if this AfD closes as redirect/deletion, and there wont be history merge problems. Snowflake91 (talk) 23:13, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that you've been obstinately refusing to acknowledge the fact that these people have been notable all along, despite numerous complaints by others on your talk page and numerous cases in which you've been proven wrong (e.g. Lisa (Thai singer) and other Blackpink members, multiple Twice members, Kang Daniel, Lee Dae-hwi, Zhou Jieqiong, and many others I can't recall right now). You've been pointlessly wasting other editors' time and work with your years-long crusade to delete K-pop articles. -Zanhe (talk) 23:26, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All articles which were deleted / redirected were done so correctly, the fact that some were recreated (much) later is completely pointless as those people later gained enough notability. Lee Daehwi was correctly deleted in 2017 for lack of notability and correctly recreated in 2019 when he became notable as a solo singer, so? Same with Kang Daniel. Snowflake91 (talk) 23:44, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What about Lisa (Thai singer) then? She still does not meet WP:SINGER, but everyone else agreed that she's notable per WP:ENT, which you called "dumb" and refused to follow. And from your comments in the current discussion, you're still obstinately disregarding the notability guideline. -Zanhe (talk) 00:11, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I took a closer look at Kang Daniel and Lee Dae-hwi. They finished at #1 and #3 in the Produce 101 music competition, one of the most watched music shows in the world, and meet WP:SINGER #9 from day one. It's clear to me that you've not even adhered to the one guideline that you claim to hold so dearly. -Zanhe (talk) 22:21, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Produce 101 is not a "singing competition", its a variety/survival TV show, and everything else but their singing abilities determined the winners (i.e their looks and dancing skills). Snowflake91 (talk) 09:12, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense. Most media sources categorize it as a music competition, see Korean Herald, Billboard, Yahoo, Bangkok Post, to name just a few. Looks and dancing always matter in pop music, but it's definitely not a beauty pageant. -Zanhe (talk) 20:13, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect – still no sign of individual notability per other nominations. Just because other idols are listed under popularity contests doesn't mean we just go ignoring notability guidelines. Groups can be notable, but it doesn't automatically apply to members within that group when literally their entire career is "X is a part of group activites" Evaders99 (talk) 04:25, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody's saying she automatically inherits notability from her group or we should ignore notability guidelines. The point is that a person only needs to meet one guideline to be notable (in this case WP:ENT), not all. I've now added eight sources from major worldwide media to the article with in-depth coverage of her. -Zanhe (talk) 04:54, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I just added her songwriting credits hoping it helps for her personal contribution and notability from Twice and for having more content in the article, I agree with Zanhe, if we keep deleting, then obviously the article is never going to improve. --†_JuanPa_† (talk) 07:29, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Co-writting a couple of B-side songs for her own band does not make her not even close to being notable as a songwritter, to being notable for that, she would need to write lyrics for several well-known songs, preferably for other artists. Did those songs even charted? Snowflake91 (talk) 09:34, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment For those saying if the article is deleted it won’t improve — why is a draft not created on and worked on until ready for publication once notable? Instead of first creating a terrible article and working on notability later? If notability isn’t being shown then why does it even have an article? Alex (talk) 10:03, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article revamped – I spent a few hours hunting down reliable English sources (which is fiendishly hard given the thousands of fan pages and media reports on every little thing she does), expanded the article and sourced everything. I've found quite a few in-depth sources, such as a Time magazine article that calls her the leader and main vocalist of Twice, which it lists as a top-three K-pop band. Two articles dedicated to Jihyo, one from SBS of Australia, another from IDN of Indonesia, another SBS article dedicated to a Korean TV show featuring her, multiple sources reporting that she topped the Twitter trends list in the Philippines, and multiple sources calling her and Kang Daniel a power couple of K-pop. I believe these sources altogether are more than sufficient to demonstrate that she satisfies WP:ENT and WP:BASIC. There's no doubt that a vast number of sources exist in Korean and Japanese, which I'm unfortunately unable to read. -Zanhe (talk) 23:44, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Zanhe: Just to point out, those SBS sources you mention are listed as unreliable here. The first one you mention, which lists nine things about her, doesn’t even mention where they got any of that information from. Alex (talk) 00:04, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up. I don't normally edit pop culture except for the purpose of article rescue, and I'm really surprised that Special Broadcasting Service, a public broadcaster funded by the Australian government akin to BBC in the UK, is listed as unreliable at KO/RS. I looked at the talk page and noticed your own comment that SBS was added to the unreliable list by a single user without discussion. This is ridiculous and I'm surprised nobody has reverted it. BTW, most news reports do not mention sources for routine information; this is not investigative journalism. -Zanhe (talk) 00:26, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The specific article that I mentioned is not a news report, it is a trivial “9 things about twices Jihyo” article which doesn’t mention where they got the information from, what makes it reliable? Regardless, im not attempting to enter a debate here, just pointing out that it is on the unreliable list and doesn’t state where the information came from. Alex (talk) 00:41, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's no requirement a reliable source has to provide its own sources. I've written more than 1,000 articles and probably cited 10,000 sources over my Wikipedia career, and most media sources I've seen do not provide their sources, unless it's breaking news or about something controversial. The Time magazine article, for example, does not provide any source either. -Zanhe (talk) 03:49, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SBS K-pop blog section is not reliable, they dont even list author of the article. This is a reliable report from SBS, which is on their main site and cited Australian Associated Press as a source, while K-pop section is part of the blog as you can even see in the URL name. And what is in-depth in that Time magazine article? Yes, Twice is covered in-depth there, but NOT Jihyo, there are only 2 setencnes about her. Snowflake91 (talk) 09:51, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Who says reliable sources must name their writers? I've been a subscriber of The Economist for over 20 years, and can't recall a single article for which they disclosed the author. Same with many BBC articles, most US Government sources, and most Chinese news reports. So stop making up your own rules. And it looks like you can't even tell the difference between news blogs and personal blogs. News blogs are perfectly fine for uncontroversial, factual content. WSJ blogs, for example, are widely used in thousands of articles. -Zanhe (talk) 22:07, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever, SBS pop asia k-pop section is unreliable and thats prety much it, it was listed at WP:KO/RS for a reason. This article is a typical fancruft, not more reliable than K-pop Wikia or fan twitters – in fact, half of those claims were taken directly from wikia sites 1, 2 Snowflake91 (talk) 09:09, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Whatever"? That's the best argument you could come up with? As pointed out above, SBS was added to WP:KO/RS by a single editor with no discussion, which is totally against policy. SBS is a public-service broadcaster with an extensive editorial guideline which governs all their content. If you have evidence they've copied content directly from other websites without attribution, file a complaint here. Otherwise stop denigrating a solid news organization. -Zanhe (talk) 20:28, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I wont even read further then "Have a read of these fun facts about Jihyo and learn some more about the super cool 22 year old!", its obvious that this blog section at this website is written by some non-SBS contributors, which are taking their "sources" from twitter or wikia sides. Snowflake91 (talk) 20:37, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I've yet to see a single well-supported argument from you. Basically all your arguments are based on your personal feelings (SBS is not reliable because I don't like the way they write; Produce 101 is not a music competition because the viewers also care about the competitors' looks; WP:ENT is dumb because I think it's too general; Gallup Korea poll is not valid because I don't understand how polls work; when confronted with facts and policy, I respond with "whatever") You, my friend, are the epitome of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. -Zanhe (talk) 20:59, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever. EVEN if this fan-written article from the blog would be relialbe, it still fails WP:GNG since its not "significant coverage", but just trivial stuff. This article is informing us, through random numbered list, that she can use both left and right hand and that she is a friend with other singers from her label, and is generally written in a POV and non-professional tone ("super cool 22 year old" etc.), like everything else at that blog page. No in-depth coverage there, unless random trivia is now counted as significant coverage. I mean, compare this, this, and your SBS article, and maybe you will spot the difference what is trivial coverage and what is in-depth coverage, and how the professional articles are written and how the fan contributors are writing for SBS. Snowflake91 (talk) 22:50, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've grown to like your "whatever"s, lol. Just realized that SBS PopAsia actually has its own Wikipedia page. It turns out to be a major program that's broadcast on Australian TV and radio, in addition to the newsblog we're talking about. The program obviously targets young people, and therefore uses language that appeals to them. You cannot expect a program dedicated to pop culture to use the sober tone of newspapers like SCMP that mainly cover serious issues and whose target audience is much older. This by no means suggests that the facts they report are unreliable as they're still subject to SBS's editorial oversight. -Zanhe (talk) 23:11, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Then what makes SBS more reliable than Koreaboo, Allkpop, and Soompi, which are notorious unreliable K-pop websites? Tone is the same, authors are questionable or unknown, source is not provided (only Soompi sometimes cites Korean source). Well I cannot prove that of course, but I can assure you that k-pop blog at SBS is written by some fans, which are not full-time employed by SBS, and no one from the actual SBS staff is really overwatching those articles as long as they generate broadband traffic (k-pop = huge thing = lots of clicks = loads of money) and as long no one complain. I dont remember exactly where, but on some Wiki guidelines about reliable sources it was stated that on some news websites, part-time contributors are writting the articles and those articles are not reliable, even if they are posted on an otherwise reliable site. Snowflake91 (talk) 23:25, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As I already said, SBS PopAsia is subject to SBS's editorial oversight as there's no disclaimer stating otherwise, with the entire news organization's reputation on the line. Koreaboo, Allkpop, etc., are not part of a reputable organization. Some sites do employ outside contributors (such as Forbes), but these articles are always clearly attributed and come with a disclaimer that says they are not subject to normal editorial oversight. -Zanhe (talk) 23:41, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A bit of additional research reveals that a couple of professors have written an academic book analyzing the influence of K-pop, with a whole chapter dedicated to SBS PopAsia: [4]. Who would've known! -Zanhe (talk) 23:58, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to SBS, I'll note that notability is not reliability. We should question all sources, esp ones that present both as blogs and news articles. Evaders99 (talk) 05:56, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Of course not, but what we are talking about here is the website of a major TV/radio program produced by Australia's main government-funded public broadcaster. -Zanhe (talk) 06:57, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No proof that blog section at this website is written by actual SBS journalists since their news are without signed author. If they would include a forum at their website where fans can write anything they want, would that still be reliable just because its hosted at SBS website ? Snowflake91 (talk) 09:28, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Even though the SBS PopAsia articles do not name individual authors, they're clearly attributed to "SBS PopAsia HQ" and cannot possibly be fan posts. And again, you're obfuscating the difference between WP:NEWSBLOG and WP:BLOGS and making up your own rule that reliable sources must name their authors. The first time may be attributed to ignorance, but this time it's clearly WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. -Zanhe (talk) 20:05, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The general test for notability is "a topic [that] has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". My opinion is that the citations that are now in the article are significant coverage of Park Ji-hyo. They are not merely significant coverage of Twice with a passing mention of Park, but discuss her, to quote the notability guidelines "directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content." There are multiple sources covering her - SBS Australia, Evening Standard, Time. Enough sources are also reliable, and are independent of Park and of Twice. The coverage of Park Ji-hyo appears to meet all the required standards for notability, therefore, Park Ji-hyo is "suitable for a standalone article". — Preceding unsigned comment added by HenryCrun15 (talk • contribs)

Not really, this is never a significant coverage of Jihyo, she is mentioned in 2 sentences, while Evening Standard article is just a regular report of her dating news. Snowflake91 (talk) 22:03, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the Time article does not focus on her exclusively, it unequivocally calls her the leader and main vocalist of Twice, which it names the world's top K-pop groups along with BTS and Blackpink. And "regular report of her dating news"? Pure nonsense. Regular dating reports do not call people "K-Pop’s newest power couple" and non-notable people dating do not become the most tweeted news in a foreign country (the Philippines). -Zanhe (talk) 22:27, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Even if the Time article does not focus on her exclusively, it unequivocally calls her the leader and main vocalist of Twice" – yeah, and? Thats all, she is the leader of a notable group, but that doesnt make her notable on her own. Snowflake91 (talk) 22:49, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're behaving as if Time were the only source used to support her notability, whereas the article includes in-depth media reports from all over the world, several of which are focused exclusively on her. And we haven't even included Korean sources which undoubtedly exist in abundance because of the lack of Korean participants in the discussion. But I've learned by now that trying to reason with you is futile. -Zanhe (talk) 23:00, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

None of the sources you provided in the article cover JIHYO in depth, only Twice. The only source that somehow cover her "in depth" (even though that website is full of fan trivia and personal opinions of the authors–which, unsurprisingly, are completely unknown) is that SBS blog article, which is listed as unreliable at WP:KO/RS with a reason. Snowflake91 (talk) 08:57, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you even read? All sources that I added to the article are about Jihyo personally, other than the Time article. And you're still hanging on to the untenable argument that SBS is unreliable because someone added it to WP:KO/RS with no discussion. -Zanhe (talk) 20:32, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, another indication how shit SBS popblog is – see 1 and 2, two (trivial) articles about Jihyo, both by SBS, and there are differented information every time, one article says she joined JYP aged 8, the second one says aged 9. Conclusion? BULLSHIT source, which is just posting random fan tweets or k-pop wikia stuff just to publish something. Snowflake91 (talk) 14:59, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment merely betrays your ignorance about Asia, and Korea specifically. Please educate yourself by reading East Asian age reckoning. Most people are a year older in East Asian age reckoning (although it's more complicated for people born in January and February, whose ages are affected by the date of the Lunar New Year). So when Korean sources say she was nine, she was actually eight in Western convention. Western media may directly translate from Korean sources using the East Asian age, or they may convert it into Western age, but both ages are correct. This is a very common inconsistency when reporting the ages of Asian people, which I've seen in all sorts of reliable sources, even academic ones. -Zanhe (talk) 20:48, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The fact which year is correct is completely irrelevant, the point is that the same source is using two different formats/years, which just proves its pretty much unreliable as they just copy/past info from somewhere else without actually checking the facts.

Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:56, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As always, single-market local television journalists are not automatically guaranteed Wikipedia articles just because they exist — nothing stated here is "inherently" notable at all, and the article is completely unsourced for the purposes of even getting her over WP:GNG. Rather, this is following that depressingly standard template for generating bad articles about local television and radio personalities — take her staff profile on the self-published website of her own employer, rephrase it just enough to avoid WP:COPYVIO issues, reference it to itself with no evidence whatsoever of any outside coverage about her in any other sources independent of her employer, and voilà. That's not how it works, however, and never has been — for one thing, even the staff profile itself is gone from the article now, because she doesn't work there anymore, and that's exactly one of the reasons why the existence of a staff profile was never an instant notability clincher all by itself in the first place. And we're much stricter on both notability and sourcing issues today than we were 12 years ago, because we've learned a lot of very hard and painful lessons about why we have to be.

Folx (term)[edit]

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

This neologism fails WP:NEO and WP:GNG. The 21 sources currently used are not sufficient. Analysing these we find:

Episcopal Church book that uses the term once.
Wordpress blog.
Book that does not mention the term whatsoever, used to compare "folx" to "Latinx".
Podcast.
Paywalled Boston Globe "Ideas" piece that, based on the title, appears to partially actually be about the term.
Personal website of someone who claims to be "queer by choice".
Word Spy, a site apparently dedicated to neologisms and run by a computer programmer.
Urban Dictionary.
Tumblr.
An essay that uses the term once.
A site for people to create their own classroom presentations that only uses the term, not explaining it.
Linguistics professor's blog which really just links to the aforementioned Boston Globe piece.
A paper which appears to only be about the term in a small part, and which anyway apparently found that only a small percentage of the people whom the term supposedly benefits had familiarity with it.
Bachelor's thesis.
A paywalled paper that seems likely to just use the term, not discuss it.
Dissertation.
Dissertation.
Book that uses the term once.
Same thesis as number 14.
Bachelor's thesis.
Book review that uses the term once.

The article doesn't even represent these sources correctly. It states, In particular, LGBTQ communities of color have embraced the term "folx" to emphasize that the presence of a binary gender system in indigenous societies is a product of colonization and oppression of indigenous peoples. This is original research, since the sources cited for this use the term without any explanation why. It is also claimed, Most frequent usage of the term occurs in California. While believable, neither of the sources for this even mention California.

But leaving those aside, there are still about half a dozen appropriate scholarly sources, satisfying WP:GNG, at least to my satisfaction. Completed dissertations, at least at the doctoral level, can be used as reliable sources when supported by other sources. Being behind a paywall or not available online has no bearing on sourcing. While the article may include original research or other problems, WP:Deletion is not cleanup. NB: I removed the blog that is #12 in nom's list above, and replaced it with a scholarly article by the professor in question. Like the blog, it also refers to the Boston Globe piece, but also includes much more analysis of the general issue. Cnilep (talk) 05:06, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have now checked sources 15-17. #15 again only uses the term once with no explanation, stating, Collectively, we offer historical, theoretical, philosophical, literary, cultural, digital, and spiritual points of departure for waging war against systems of oppression threatening Black folx’ ability to survive, live, and thrive. #16 is just a master's thesis, so not a reliable source per WP:SCHOLARSHIP; has zero cites on Google Scholar; and though only the first ten pages are viewable, there is no indication the source discusses the term beyond simple use anyway. #17 is a doctoral dissertation that uses the word 14 times, but its only discussion about the word is simply, Folx is a gender inclusive word. “In some languages, ‘folks’ is a gendered noun, so using ‘folx’ is a way to include people of all genders, especially non-binary genders” (Because I Am Human, 2017). ("Because I Am Human, 2017" is a Wordpress blog.) This dissertation also has zero cites on Google Scholar. The new #12 is paywalled, but has the broad topic of "Transgender language reform", so it is unlikely to spend much time discussing "folx" specifically. The same applies to #13. So, your half a dozen appropriate scholarly sources are really just small portions of two papers, and a doctoral dissertation briefly referencing a blog. The Boston Globe piece may not even be all that independent of a source, as it is also about "folx" only partially and according to the article here, quotes Lal Zimman, who is the author of new #12. I'm still not seeing significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. What I do see is a neologism that has little...usage in reliable sources; per WP:NEO such articles are commonly deleted. -Crossroads- (talk) 13:29, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Here's the relevant Boston Globe content (the rest of the article is about other words like 'womxn'). Cheers, gnu 57 17:08, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Extended content
One recent "x" word is both broad and specific: "folx," which is defined by Word Spy lexicographer Paul McFedries as an umbrella term for people with a non-normative sexual orientation or identity. While this spelling has been around for nearly a century, the meaning similar to "Latinx" and "womxn" is a recent innovation. "Folx" is kind of brilliant. Even with the usual spelling, "folks" is an inclusive word, avoiding the gender associations of "guys," "dudes," and other male-associated words. That "x" retains the traditional pronunciation but opens the tent wider. Zimman praised this word for "suggesting solidarity" and representing "the everyday people." Society has a long way to go, but maybe someday we can all just be folx.

Delete Based on gnu's finding of the Boston Globe article, I don't think we have enough to build an article around. If we are going to build an article about a neologism, WP:NEO says we should have more than just a dictionary definition and proof of use. Perhaps a redirect to gender neutral language is appropriate. Rockphed (talk) 14:44, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Reading the article, it seems like the article contains about three definitions of this term in three paragraphs of text, each claiming that folx is a neutral term, but that it is more neutral for group X than it is for group Y. To me that indicates that the definition of this term is still in flux. Sumurai8 (talk) 22:03, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTDICTIONARY. The article is certainly longer than a typical dictionary entry, but that does not change the fact that at root, it is still discussing the meaning, usage, and etymology of a word. It has long been established here that such material belongs on Wiktionary, not Wikipedia. However, I would not support moving any material there given the dubiousness of the references. Word Spy is alleged to claim the word has been around for "at least a century". If that were true it would be found in the OED, but it isn't. Sounds to me like a case of wishful folk etymology by non-lexicographers. Very possibly, this is too recent a coining to meet Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion anyway. SpinningSpark 14:03, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Wiktionary : wikt:folx. I don't think as of right now there are sufficient articles for an article about the article folx similar to latinx, womxn, Mx (title), etc., but a redirect to the existing Wiktionary entry would be beneficial to those looking for more information. I also want to just note that additional sources discussing the word come from Dictionary.com: folx, How The Letter “X” Creates More Gender-Neutral Language. Umimmak (talk) 14:37, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete The term does seem to be used in these terms in a few peer reviewed journal articles:

"Xemiyulu Manibusan Tapepechul Uplifting Two-Spirits", Cultural Survival Quarterly, Jun 2018, Vol.42(2), pp.10-11
"Rethinking disability: The need to rethink representation.", Procter, Jenna - Lee, African Journal of Disability, Annual, 2018, Vol.7(5)
"Introduction by the Guest Editors", Haas, Angela ; Rhodes, Jackie ; Devoss, Dànielle Nicole, Computers and Composition, March 2019, Vol.51, pp.1-3

However, an actual use of the term as a topic unto itself isn't discussed in these sources or the others presented elsewhere in this discussion, but just used in a consistent context with the text in the article. Ultimately, while it may be true, it isn't verifiably true by wikipedia's standards of inclusion. In other words, until multiple independent publications actually writes about it directly we can't cover it. Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG.4meter4 (talk) 19:51, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All the references you replaced and added are exceedingly poor. The article doesn't contain a single secondary source which is in-depth coverage, independent of the company.. The comparison to Oracle is hype which fails WP:ORGIND, certainly Gartner doesn't think so. I guess I will need to go through each reference in turn. It is certainly noticeable that most of the references assert WP:NCORP, admittedly not included in the rationale, but the evidence is that multiple sources that are independent of the topic is not self evident. scope_creep^Talk 23:54, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It shouldn't be this hard to delete an article when it is so very obvious that there is not sufficiently decent references to support it, instead a quite considerable amount of time is required which is entirely wasteful. Looking at the references:

Ref 1. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. Is primary and fails of employees, officers, directors, owners, or shareholders

Ref 2. Fails [WP:CORPDEPTH]] USA Today:Newspaper article from USA today stating that AI is very useful. as an example of a type of company or product being discussed This is WP:PUFF. Everybody and their dog is saying is AI is useful.

Ref 3 Is a name drop.

Ref 4 New CEO interview. Very little on Ellucian itself. Majority of article discusses previous career.

Ref 5 Fails WP:ORGIND. Is a press release. Not sufficient to establish notability, press releases, press kits, or similar public relations materials

Ref 6 Fails WP:ORGCRIT. Is a primary, the landing page of the company and proves nothing more that it exists.

Ref 7 Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND Dependent coverage An event listing. Transitory, short lived and low in information, everything this encyclopedia doesn't want.

Ref 8 Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND Dependent coverage Another event listings page.

Ref 9 Fails WP:CORPDEPTH standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage

Ref 10 Only tangentially related to the company.

Ref 11 Fails WP:ORGIND. This is press release

Ref 12 Fails WP:ORGIND. This is press release

Ref 13 Fails WP:ORGIND. Fragment of a press release

Ref 14 Fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Single word name drop

Ref 15 Fails WP:CORPDEPTH of the expansions, acquisitions, mergers, sale, or closure of the business

Ref 16 Fails WP:CORPDEPTH of the expansions, acquisitions, mergers, sale, or closure of the business

Ref 17 Fails WP:CORPDEPTH of a capital transaction, such as raised capital

Ref 18 Fails WP:ORGIND of product or service offerings

References 19 to 25 are similarly poor, primary in nature and not a single secondary source amongst them. Nothing of depth. scope_creep^Talk 16:12, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SIGCOV isn't mentioned in rationale. These are book chapters, article and white-papers are terrible references to establish the bona fides of an article. Y

The last entry Learning Analytics: The Emergence of a Discipline is Ellucian saying they going to adopt a course, in only two words. The "8 Realities Learning Professionals Need to Know About Analytics" states only commercial Course Signal product now available from Ellucian.. This one Create ADA‐compliant learning experiences for all students talks about Martin LaGrow, designing a course in a small paragraph. Etrinsik Informer Helps North Iowa Area Community College Optimize Decision Making is a name drop. Rocket Software Receives Distinguished Award.(MV SOLUTIONS) Article not an award given to Ellucian, its about a business partner of Ellucian receiving a growth award and the wording seems to come from a press release.

Comment - A particular user seems to be an ardent film fan who has attempted to create for all three singles released from a particular film. The single Singappenney which is created by the same user looks like OK to me and I reviewed it. It has been expanded nicely and it could be the only exception. I leave it to fellow editors to think about this. Apart from this, I have noticed another Tamil movie single Why This Kolaveri Di which is quite accepted due to sufficient content. Thank you.

Comment There are actually a number of reliable secondary sources out there about the character and the comic. If the article was to change focus, it might be more noteworthy. Additionally, this isn't even a movie. Maybe there were thoughts on doing so several years ago when the article was created, but it has been changed into a "micro-series" on YouTube, apparently, with the first episode that just came out two weeks ago. I guess you could say WP:TOOSOON if you want to limit this to the animated work as opposed to the print work, though. I think there is potential, but I certainly don't have energy to change the article and keep it up. The original author and main contributor also appears to have since been banned. Perhaps the series release will drive traffic for users interested in improving it, but I don't lean one way or another... A WP:PROD might have run its course to deletion... -2pou (talk) 17:59, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment leaning "Weak Delete without prejudice to recreation with sources" - The Borderlands franchise is pretty huge. A quick search for sources finds a few as-a-group sources and plenty of sources on many of the individual characters, so I'm a little surprised to see just how far towards delete this is leaning. That said, the current article is a long block of material that's presumably built just from primary sources/OR, so I can't keep either and don't have the time to source it myself. I think this article is possible, but there's not much to merit keeping here. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:31, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I suppose it is possible to source this via primary sources, and one might could find some secondary sources, maybe even reliable ones, to verify this--but even then, this is the level of detail that serves no encyclopedic purpose.

Comment No opinion on whether this topic merits its own article, but given the popularity and influence of this group in Japan, any information in this article that is WP:TRUE can probably be verified in reliable sources, so the lack of non-wiki sources currently cited in the article is not really relevant.

Retrieved 2019-10-04. The book notes: Midnight Sun's original location was 7329 Arctic Boulevard, less than a mile from [Ray] Hodge's former workplace at Bird Creek; the brewery shared a small building with Knight's Taxidermy, a business featured on the reality television program Mounted in Alaska. After helping select the site, Hodge had to design the brewhouse layout, find and purchase the equipment and then install and test each piece. At that point, he was finally ready to begin brewing. Midnight Sun released its first beer, Wolf Spirit Sparkling Ale, in May 1995. Several others soon followed: Kodiak Brown Ale, Mammoth Extra Stout and Fireweed Honey Wheat Beer, among several other mainstream brews. There were occasional seasonals, like Double Shovel Dopplebock, Autumnfest Marzen and Humpback Jack Pumpkin Ale. By 1996, Midnight Sun was producing about one thousand barrels a year, but by then Ray Hodge had moved on to another brewing project, Railway Brewing (see below). Mark Staples initially assumed the duties as brewer and then hired Jimmy Butchard as head brewer. Together they developed some more challenging beers for the brewery's "Three-Barrel Line" of specialty beers, which were served only on draft at select outlets in Anchorage. Beers in the line included a raunchblock, an abbey ale and Snowshoe White Wit Beer, the first commercial witbier brewed in Alaska. All was not smooth sailing for Midnight Sun, however. The brewery was in the red for a while, and at one point the owners actually tried to sell it. Other local Alaska breweries had started up as well, and competition was... The book notes: While Millstein's "bakery model" might work for him, it was not an option for a production brewery in Anchorage. In the last chapter we saw some of the challenges that beset Midnight Sun Brewing Company from its founding in 1995 to the spring of 1998, when it hired its fifth lead brewer in three years, Gabe Fletcher. While he was young and inexperienced, Fletcher brought two things to Midnight Sun that it desperately needed: stability and vision. On the stability front, Fletcher would stay at Midnight Sun for over twelve years, and his steady hand at the brewing tiller would allow the brewery to find and develop a distinctive style. The vision he brought was of a brewery producing challenging beers that stretched the limits of what the local beer drinkers had previously been offered. ... With Ellis at the brewing helm and demand for its brews growing, Midnight Sun Brewing Company has become a major force on the beer scene in Alaska. The book contains a quote from Ellis.

Under the watch of brewer Gabe Fletcher for twelve years, Midnight Sun emerged as Alaska's most innovative brewery, and built a strong reputation in the Pacific Northwest for big, interesting beers. New brewer Ben Johnson has a tough act to follow, but he's got plenty of training and a huge standing army of dedicated fans. And with a new brew-house and "the Loft"—an upstairs area with some fifteen to twenty taps, sleek metal tables and chairs, and polished cement floors—MSNBC remains a top draw for beer travelers (and locals) every day of the week from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. ... Once a month it's First Firkin Friday, for which they feature a local artist and—you guessed it—tap a fresh firkin, a traditinoally English bar-top, forty-one-liter cask of beer. ... Key Beer There are ten year-round offerings, including the flagship Sockeye Red IPA (5.7% ABV), four seasonals, five special edition bers, and several other one-offs and collaborations to try. Try the clove-y, creamy, Belgian-style dark Monk's Mistress and Arctic Devil, a nutty, warming, complex barley wine (typically around 13% ABV) that has cleaned up at the Great Alaskan beer festival for years.

The book notes: Although Midnight Sun Brewing distributes beer to only a few of the Lower 48 states, the Alaskan brewery has developed a cult following with its esoteric ales, many of which come but once... ever. For instance, in 2007 the brewery offered a seven-beer Deadly Sin Series: Lust was a strong dark Belgian ale aged in bourbon barrels and infused with sour cherries and Brettanomyces. Core beers like Sockeye Red IPA and Kodiak Brown Ale are readily available in Anchorage, including in cans. Mack, Zach (2016-07-27). "Alaska Is an Untapped Beer Paradise". Thrillist.

The article notes: There's so much that can be said about Midnight Sun Brewing -- from the hilarious background stories behind the names of top-selling brews, to the super-friendly staff in the taproom, to the wall-mounted salmon that dispenses draft beer -- that it's easy to lose sight of the fact that the beers it makes are so damn good. Everything from top-notch barleywines and puckering sours (like Buzzwinkle) to bold stouts and well-balanced IPAs (like Pleasure Town) find their way into the bottles and kegs here, easily making it one of the state's top beer destinations since it opened two decades ago. Of course, travelers are rewarded with bottles that are only sold at the brewery, so consider packing those bags if you want to really get to know these guys… and make use of that wall-mounted beer salmon.

The article notes: The second oldest brewery in Alaska and the oldest brewery in Anchorage, Midnight Sun Brewing Company (MSBC) boasts over 40 different brews a year. Some are one-off, some are seasonal, but many are year-round. It is hard to imagine that an Alaskan has not heard of at least some of their offerings – Sockeye Red, Panty Peeler, Pleasure Town, and Kodiak Brown, to name a few – bold beers with pithy names, created for the hearty Alaskan tastes. MSBC has stood the test of time and continues to grow and expand its reach. I recently had a long chat with Barb Miller about the brewery’s humble beginnings and its latest direction. This 23-year old operation began when co-owners Miller and Mark Staples started a production brewery back in 1995. They shared a small industrial space on Arctic Boulevard with Knight’s Taxidermy. As MSBC grew, they developed a good reputation for beer. Thus, when they moved to Dimond Hook Drive in May 2009, patrons followed. Seven months later, food service was introduced at the Loft. Miller laughed when she said they couldn’t give the food away at first. Lebow, Jess (2015). The United States Of Craft Beer: A Guide to the Best Craft Breweries Across America. New York: F+W.

Head up to the Loft and grab a seat indoors (or outdoors in summer) to sample some of the company’s fresh Alaskan fare and – most importantly – their beer. The variety is best described as eclectic, with thick and hearty coffee porters and Belgian style tripels to luscious chocolate ales and a devilish barely wine. Not all done in stainless, some of Midnight Sun’s most coveted beers are oak-aged, giving each sip a smoother, almost buttery aftertaste. If they have it, order the Berserker Imperial stout or the Pride Belgian-Style Strong Pale ale to taste the difference. The food is just as good as the beer, with a new special popping up daily. Do yourself a favor and pair the mouthwatering smoked salmon bruschetta with their Pleasure Town IPA.

The book notes:
Midnight Sun's original location was 7329 Arctic Boulevard, less than a mile from [Ray] Hodge's former workplace at Bird Creek; the brewery shared a small building with Knight's Taxidermy, a business featured on the reality television program Mounted in Alaska. After helping select the site, Hodge had to design the brewhouse layout, find and purchase the equipment and then install and test each piece. At that point, he was finally ready to begin brewing. Midnight Sun released its first beer, Wolf Spirit Sparkling Ale, in May 1995. Several others soon followed: Kodiak Brown Ale, Mammoth Extra Stout and Fireweed Honey Wheat Beer, among several other mainstream brews. There were occasional seasonals, like Double Shovel Dopplebock, Autumnfest Marzen and Humpback Jack Pumpkin Ale. By 1996, Midnight Sun was producing about one thousand barrels a year, but by then Ray Hodge had moved on to another brewing project, Railway Brewing (see below). Mark Staples initially assumed the duties as brewer and then hired Jimmy Butchard as head brewer. Together they developed some more challenging beers for the brewery's "Three-Barrel Line" of specialty beers, which were served only on draft at select outlets in Anchorage. Beers in the line included a raunchblock, an abbey ale and Snowshoe White Wit Beer, the first commercial witbier brewed in Alaska.
All was not smooth sailing for Midnight Sun, however. The brewery was in the red for a while, and at one point the owners actually tried to sell it. Other local Alaska breweries had started up as well, and competition was...
The book notes:
While Millstein's "bakery model" might work for him, it was not an option for a production brewery in Anchorage. In the last chapter we saw some of the challenges that beset Midnight Sun Brewing Company from its founding in 1995 to the spring of 1998, when it hired its fifth lead brewer in three years, Gabe Fletcher. While he was young and inexperienced, Fletcher brought two things to Midnight Sun that it desperately needed: stability and vision. On the stability front, Fletcher would stay at Midnight Sun for over twelve years, and his steady hand at the brewing tiller would allow the brewery to find and develop a distinctive style. The vision he brought was of a brewery producing challenging beers that stretched the limits of what the local beer drinkers had previously been offered.

Midnight Sun Brewing Co.

Under the watch of brewer Gabe Fletcher for twelve years, Midnight Sun emerged as Alaska's most innovative brewery, and built a strong reputation in the Pacific Northwest for big, interesting beers. New brewer Ben Johnson has a tough act to follow, but he's got plenty of training and a huge standing army of dedicated fans. And with a new brew-house and "the Loft"—an upstairs area with some fifteen to twenty taps, sleek metal tables and chairs, and polished cement floors—MSNBC remains a top draw for beer travelers (and locals) every day of the week from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. ... Once a month it's First Firkin Friday, for which they feature a local artist and—you guessed it—tap a fresh firkin, a traditinoally English bar-top, forty-one-liter cask of beer.
...
Key Beer There are ten year-round offerings, including the flagship Sockeye Red IPA (5.7% ABV), four seasonals, five special edition bers, and several other one-offs and collaborations to try. Try the clove-y, creamy, Belgian-style dark Monk's Mistress and Arctic Devil, a nutty, warming, complex barley wine (typically around 13% ABV) that has cleaned up at the Great Alaskan beer festival for years.
The book includes a quote from Midnight Sun owner Mark Staples.

The book notes:
Although Midnight Sun Brewing distributes beer to only a few of the Lower 48 states, the Alaskan brewery has developed a cult following with its esoteric ales, many of which come but once... ever. For instance, in 2007 the brewery offered a seven-beer Deadly Sin Series: Lust was a strong dark Belgian ale aged in bourbon barrels and infused with sour cherries and Brettanomyces. Core beers like Sockeye Red IPA and Kodiak Brown Ale are readily available in Anchorage, including in cans.

The article notes:
There's so much that can be said about Midnight Sun Brewing -- from the hilarious background stories behind the names of top-selling brews, to the super-friendly staff in the taproom, to the wall-mounted salmon that dispenses draft beer -- that it's easy to lose sight of the fact that the beers it makes are so damn good. Everything from top-notch barleywines and puckering sours (like Buzzwinkle) to bold stouts and well-balanced IPAs (like Pleasure Town) find their way into the bottles and kegs here, easily making it one of the state's top beer destinations since it opened two decades ago. Of course, travelers are rewarded with bottles that are only sold at the brewery, so consider packing those bags if you want to really get to know these guys… and make use of that wall-mounted beer salmon.

The article notes:
The second oldest brewery in Alaska and the oldest brewery in Anchorage, Midnight Sun Brewing Company (MSBC) boasts over 40 different brews a year. Some are one-off, some are seasonal, but many are year-round. It is hard to imagine that an Alaskan has not heard of at least some of their offerings – Sockeye Red, Panty Peeler, Pleasure Town, and Kodiak Brown, to name a few – bold beers with pithy names, created for the hearty Alaskan tastes. MSBC has stood the test of time and continues to grow and expand its reach.
I recently had a long chat with Barb Miller about the brewery’s humble beginnings and its latest direction. This 23-year old operation began when co-owners Miller and Mark Staples started a production brewery back in 1995. They shared a small industrial space on Arctic Boulevard with Knight’s Taxidermy.
As MSBC grew, they developed a good reputation for beer. Thus, when they moved to Dimond Hook Drive in May 2009, patrons followed. Seven months later, food service was introduced at the Loft. Miller laughed when she said they couldn’t give the food away at first.

Keep - it is not an indiscriminate list but a list defined by monsters that have been published in official D&D books. It is a drop-down list as a list for monsters of all editions would be too big.

Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:13, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't disagree that some monsters are notable. However, this is clearly a list of all monsters from 1st Edition, therefore it establishes itself as a directory, not an encyclopedic list. It fails to differentiate between notable and non-notable monsters, and therefore requires a total rewrite. A List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters that only features notable creatures would make sense, this is pure fancruft/gameguide content that does not have relevance to non-fans._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 17:11, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Looking at the list, there are 3 possibly independent sources. Two of them are not available online. The third, which gives a little hint that D&D monsters might be notable as a group, does so so in such fashion as to support the notability of list of D&D monsters, not index of D&D 1st edition monsters.

Delete per above, and the same arguments brought up in the other D&D Edition monsters lists at AFD. The very few non-primary sources included here would help support a singular article or list on the topic of Dungeons and Dragons monsters, discussing and listing the handful of actually notable creatures.

Delete. Like Zxcvbnm said, a single list of D&D monsters, with the notability of the monsters clearly established by reliable, secondary sources would be useful and worth of having.

With a list of generic monsters, the criteria for inclusion is a slippery slope, if one is allowed, then people will assume that others are allowed no matter how slipshod their notability is.

My personal limit would be things with at least 1 reliable, independent, significant source could go on the list while things with more than that could support their own article. Why I am for deleting these lists as currently written is that the individual items are currently sourced to primary sources and there aren't sources to establish the notability of creatures for any individual edition of D&D. Rockphed (talk) 14:36, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Its also important to note that the reason why there can be lists that include non-notable individual entries is because WP:LISTN states that stand alone lists meet the notability requirements if independent reliable sources discuss the grouping as a group. So, you can have a list of, using your example, cast members of a film that includes non-notable members if there are reliable sources that discuss the cast members of that film as a group. In this case however, there are not, as far as I have found or have been provided, any independent reliable sources that discuss "AD&D 1st Edition Monsters" in specific as a group.

Makeandtoss, three of the sources are in Arabic, one is local news from Philadelphia about a company who helped construct the building, and the other four are industry periodicals. The hospital is now open, so there could be more in-depth coverage on the number of beds (many thousands of American hospitals are in the 209-bed-neighborhood due to regulatory restrictions), types of medical practice patient care (i.e. nursing practices), etc. Right, now there is just not enough information about the patient services -- as opposed the building design, parking decks, number of floors, and related information. MILL isn't a policy, but it's a guideline that I cite frequently as a heuristic. According to this PR source, the building was set to turn on its solar electric grid last week; there's no indication of a single patient being treated. This source claimed the hospital, with 200 beds, was set to open in July 2019, which contradicts the other source that said the lights weren't even expected to be turned on until August 26 at the earliest. Again, this is a small hospital in the grand scheme of things; there's no evidence in the artricle or online that it's even treated a single patient; there's no reliable sources since they contradict each other and they look sketchy; it's been struggling with delays for over a decade. As a hospital, it's just not notable; please convince me that it's notable for another reason, or find more recent English-language sources. I tried a Yahoo search as well, and found no evidence it had actually opened. In fact, according to their own website, it's still hiring staff to be able to open. See also WP:HAMMER.

Comment Many additional sources have been added to this article since the AfD started. None meet the criteria for establishing notability.
- This Venture reference is classic churnalism (using many of the same phrases as contained in this other piece of churnalism with no indication of any Independent Content. The article is a thinly-disguised PR piece and fails WP:ORGIND.
- This from renewablesnow.com has not attributed journalist (WP:RS issue), is based on a company announcement and is a mere mention-in-passing, fails both WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:SIGCOV.
- This from alghad.com also has no attributed journalist (WP:RS) and is another classic example of churnalism (even has the same photo, language and quotations as this article in menafn.com), fails WP:ORGIND.
- This next one from alghad.com is based on an announcement of an intention to build a hospital and doesn't even mention the name, relies entirely on information from the mayor with no Independent Content, fails WP:ORGIND.
- This royanews.tv reference has no attributed journalist and is churnalism, a virtual copy of the earlier article in Venture, fails for the same reasons.
- This Zawya.com reference is also the same as the Venture article (and more tellingly, clearly marks it as a "press release"), fails for the same reasons.
- This alghad.com reference is based on the same announcement of "ready to receive patients" as the previous Venture articles and others, fails for the same reasons.
- This addustour.com reference has no attributed journalist (WP:RS) and is churnalism, contains the same stock phrasing we've seen in the other press releases, fails WP:ORGIND and/or WP:CORPDEPTH.
- Finally, this alrai.com reference is a article about an accident during construction of the building and doesn't even mention this company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH.

Seriously, are editors not able to tell blatant churnalism, company announcements and press releases from original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject as per NCORP guidelines. In summary, not a single new reference added to the article comes even close to meeting the requirements for establishing notability. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:06, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- - The Venture source does not depend on this alleged press release. No text in the article matches a text from a press release. The intelligentcio source was not used in the article and the fact that it depended on the Venture Magazine's text does not make the Venture article any less credible.
  - The renewables source is irrelevant to the question of whether or not the hospital should have an article.
  - The Alghad article is again not copied from anywhere. MENAFN is a news aggregator, and the fact that it translated Alghad's article does not undermine Al Ghad's credibility. Arab newspapers rarely attribute articles to journalists.
  - This Alghad article does indeed name the hospital: Clemenceau Medical Center. It was renamed later. The article does have independent content as can be seen in the last sentence.
  - The Ro'ya article can be removed.
  - The Zawya article was removed.
  - This Alghad article is not based on any other article.
  - The Addustour article is not based on any other article.
  - The criteria for hospital articles notability are: significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable and secondary sources (WP:ORGCRIT). Significant coverage is checked as all of the articles discuss only the hospital; multiple independent, reliable and secondary sources is also checked considering they were reported in Alghad, Addusour and Al-Rai; independent, semi-governmental and governmental newspapers who also happen to be the most circulated newspaper in Jordan. page 22. Makeandtoss (talk) 14:54, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Response Here's the press release that the Venture magazine article (and others) faithfully reproduces or is largely based on. Also, the criteria for hospitals is WP:NCORP since it is a company/organization. This article is spam and Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion not a Yellow Pages (see WP:NOT). Some people don't seem to be able to tell the difference between churnalism/PR/announcements and the requirement for Independent Content (as defined by WP:ORGIND).

        I've no doubt they are "credible sources". But is not enough to meet the criteria for establishing notability. No attributed journalists means those references are highly questionable as reliable sources for supporting facts within the article, never mind using them to establish notability which is a higher standard again for references. As has been pointed out above for those references, the *content* fails the criteria for establishing notability. You may assume that none here are questioning the bona fides of the publisher.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 07:20, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nomination statement is false - the references are clear that the hospital opened at least a couple of months ago, therefore TOOSOON doesn't apply. The only delete vote says that there's no indications on how many beds there are, though the sources do mention there are over 200 beds, and that the sources aren't in English - which is not a policy-based concern. I can't imagine a 34-story hospital wouldn't be notable in any city. There are multiple good sources in the article, meeting GNG. The combination of these three references alone is very compelling to me - one, two, three. The article references have been significantly improved since the AFD started; there's some WP:HEY here. Nfitz (talk) 22:14, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Eh .. no. The nomination statement also says "Not a single reference in the article meets the criteria for establishing notability and I am unable to locate any reference that meets the criteria. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP". And "multiple good sources in the article, meeting GNG" has been shown to *not* be the case above (unless you meant to rebutt what was said above about the sources but you hit "Publish" too early?) HighKing⁺⁺ 20:25, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - What do you mean "no" User:HighKing? Your nomination says "The hospital doesn't even exist yet (TOOSOON) and the building is still under construction" which is clearly not true. The nomination statement is false - please fix it ... and also remove the "delete" which makes it look as though you are trying to vote on your nomination, and has already created confusion! The article has been improved since you nominated, the sources currently there, and also provided in this dicussion meet GNG. Nfitz (talk) 13:33, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks Nfitz, I'm not sure if updating a nomination is allowed but I've struck the piece about the hospital not existing as you are correct to point out that this isn't true. I always add "Delete" to my nominations and while I accept it is not done by very many nominators, it is not in breach of any guidelines. Finally, none of the sources meet WP:NCORP which are the guidelines for corporations/organizations as I have noted above. If you can link to any two references that you believe meet the criteria, post them below and lets see them. HighKing⁺⁺ 14:10, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

side conversation about nomination formatting

What you're doing is indeed confusing, and in fact, was one of the things that led me astray when I originally closed this. Please don't do that. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:02, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply] RoySmith, I have not "repeated this recommendation on a separate bulleted line". I have already had this format cleared by another admin some time ago and this is only the second time in years that someone has said it is "confusing". There doesn't appear to be anything in the guidelines to say that it shouldn't/can't be done. Personally, I think it adds clarity to the nomination.

I'm not claiming that NCORP has been met - it's irrelevant once GNG is met. Nfitz (talk) 16:48, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No. Both are guidelines and GNG does not take precedence over NCORP. In fact, NCORP and GNG are the same thing, just that NCORP provides specific guidelines on how to apply policies and also assists by providing interpretations and clarification specific to ascertaining the notability of sources for companies. If NCORP hasn't been met, then GNG hasn't been met either as that would be impossible. None of the sources meet NCORP, specifically WP:ORGIND. HighKing⁺⁺ 13:46, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. There are multiple sources that are independent of the topic. GNG is met. Yes, there appear to be some churning of press releases in some of the references - but with 11 references in the article, that's not the sum total of the references. Does some of the text in some of the articles follow the press releases a bit too closely in an restrictive undemocratic closed society with a highly-controlled media ... surely that goes without saying. Nfitz (talk) 16:10, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You see ... this is why we have NCORP. You say there are multiple sources that are independent of the topic (without pointing to any specifically - can you point to some please?) but then go on to admit that they're "churning of press release". Therefore the *content* is not independent (which is clarified/explained in NCORP's WP:ORGIND section in great detail, but not so much in GNG). And while your opinion that due to this company being located in a restrictive undemocratic closed society with a highly-controlled media provides for an exception, this is not part of our guidelines/policies. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:27, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NCORP is irrelevant - GNG suffices. You are twisting my words; me acknowledging that some of the 11 references in the article have partially used press releases, doesn't contradict that there's enough there to meet GNG. Our guidelines/policies have been met, with the possible exception of WP:WABBITSEASON. I'm not sure why you are making false statements that I haven't pointed to any sources specifically. And I'm unsure why you haven't yet edited the original nomination to remove the misleading, bolded, delete in the nomination statement, in clear breach of the guidelines at WP:AFDFORMAT. Nfitz (talk) 19:19, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NCORP is just as relevant as GNG and arguably more so. An article cannot be said to pass GNG and fail NCORP because they're both based on the exact same principles. NCORP provides additional clarity on sources that may be used to establish notability. Also, check out the Talk page at AFDFORMAT where you can see that my nomination is, in fact, not in clear breach of any guidelines. Finally, I don't know why I haven't commented on the references previously. This from Khaberni.com is based on an announcement/interview by the Vice Chairman of the Center and is therefore not "independent" fails WP:ORGIND and GNG. This from addustour.com is also based on an announcement and fails for the exact same reasons. Finally, this from jfrnews.com is a PR stunt and fails for the exact same reasons. HighKing⁺⁺ 16:13, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:GNG A topic is presumed to merit an article if:

It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and it is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy. Subject meets GNG. Lightburst (talk) 14:54, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How is this reopen again? How User:HighKing can you read that discussion at AFDFORMAT and think that you aren't off base on this issue? How is this not a snow keep - there hasn't been anyone here that agrees with you in a month. The only person who supported delete was User:Bearian, who hasn't spoken up in over a month. Have their views stayed the same, now that the article has improved? Nfitz (talk) 03:56, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep—I've added English titles to the citations that lacked them, which might help a bit in evaluation. I think what could push this over for me to a full Keep would be to flesh out the statement "...and develop it to a new medical-use project called "Abdali Medical Center", the first of its kind in Jordan." In other words, what makes this facility the first of its kind in the country; that is not made clear and without that this might be considered just another hospital. By the way "just another hospital" is not a support for delete - if I had by druthers, I'd have an article for every hospital as they are vital pieces of infrastructure wherever they are located. I know, though, that flies in the face of Wikipedia norms, so I'll just dream on and color just a bit out of the lines from time to time. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:42, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- If that quote appears in a source and is not simply parroting a press release then I'd agree with you. HighKing⁺⁺ 13:46, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ceyockey: Removed the sentence you objected to. Makeandtoss (talk) 15:23, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@HighKing:—I didn't object to the sentence, and it does not improve the article by removing it. I'd rather see the question it raises answered rather than making the article's subject seem even less notable. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:32, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ceyockey: I removed it (and not Highking) thinking it was puffery but it was actually meant to reflect one of the claims in the article that the hospital is unique in offering patient-centered care. I added that in the article. Makeandtoss (talk) 05:53, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Nfitz. Passes WP:GNG. I find Highking's argument unconvincing. Here is a relevant Quote: this comment from Dodger67 about subject-specific notability guidelines: an SNG can never be used to exclude a subject that meets GNG. An SNG is by definition meant to (temporarily) lower the bar for subjects for which proving GNG compliance is difficult.4meter4 (talk) 15:00, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While there is debate as to other criteria this article may or not meet, it seems clear that the article, as it stands, passes GNG. GNG is the bar articles require for notability. I concur, and originally closed it as such but the nominator requested it be reopened. Ifnord (talk) 14:13, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to expand my !vote after discussion with the nom. At the time, I did not look at the article's notability through the lens of WP:GROUP. It is superseded by GNG. Admittedly, I am no expert in Arabic. But, while not stellar, the sources do appear reliable, secondary, and mention the subject in detail. Through the lens of GNG, IMHO, the subject meets criteria. Ifnord (talk) 17:25, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note There's quite a bit of discussion above about the so-called irrelevance of NCORP and how GNG somehow supercedes it. This is incorrect. Both are guidelines and both are based on the exact same principles. There is nothing in NCORP that is new to GNG. Arguments along the lines that a reference passes GNG (but doesn't pass NCORP) are illogical and flawed and really only demonstrates that an editor does not understand how to interpret the guidelines. I have pointed out above that none of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability (pointing to NCORP as the guidelines that best explain why) and have been met with vague arguments that the references meet GNG and therefore NCORP is irrelevant. I simply request that the Keep !voters simply provide a link to 2 references that meet the criteria for establishing notability as per NCORP/GNG which, to date, none of the references are anything other than PR and churnalism. HighKing⁺⁺ 16:13, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

From Wikipedia:Notability, "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy." The key word, for me, is "or". The subject-specific criteria exists to allow subjects which are notable but do not meet GNG criteria. I do not believe they exist to raise the GNG bar higher, if an article passes GNG then its ability to pass any other is not relevant. Ifnord (talk) 17:25, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ifnord, yup, don't disagree with any of that. But there's a little bit of dis-ingenuousness going on with that argument. The arguments that "it passes GNG therefore NCORP doesn't matter" is deliberately trying to ignore years of experience of interpreting sources used to establish the notability of companies/organizations. NCORP exists to assist editors interpret GNG in relation to articles on companies/organizations/etc. It doesn't add any new criteria or "raise the bar". So .. same question .. can you link to any two references that meet NCORP or GNG, same thing, doesn't matter. HighKing⁺⁺ 18:13, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Ceyockey did some good work. WP:NEXIST passes WP:GNG Lightburst (talk) 01:45, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Response As has been pointed out to you elsewhere by Elmidae, Throwing out WP:NEXIST and WP:BEFORE is without any value if you don't demonstrate what sources you found; i.e., they are empty buzzwords. I checked for available sources and found none that were sufficient to demonstrate independent notability. If you claim that there are some - present them here for evaluation. HighKing⁺⁺ 11:39, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closer: The HighKing just pinged another editor to this debate (Elmidae)...why the ping? Note to HighKing you should leave it to the participants to determine notability. It is a small group WP:LOCALCONSENSUS who come to these AfDs however you repeat the same mantra in every demand for deletion - WP:NCORP. You also mistakenly say that articles need to jump two hurdles, WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. This is incorrect and it has been pointed out to you. The fact that you can ping those who agree with you only means the system is not fair, and it is only an unfair local consensus. Lightburst (talk) 14:28, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Even if there were no independent sources prior to nomination, there are now: Help Desk Geek and Tech Nadu provide independent comparison of seedboxes. There are scholarly papers on the subject: Rossi et al., "Peeking through the BitTorrent Seedbox Hosting Ecosystem" (partially viewable on gbooks). Scholar shows numerous other papers discussing the subject, particularly with respect to its use for illegal copying. In short, another nomination that is a gross failure of WP:BEFORE.

- @Spinningspark: I DID search for sources beforehand. The first two sources are blogs and now we have one reliable source. SL93 (talk) 21:09, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The scholarly sources that I see in Google refer to other seedboxes, not the topic of this article. SL93 (talk) 21:10, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - What, all of them? In "Measurement and utilization of customer-provided resources for cloud computing" there is written A seedbox is a private dedicated server for uploading and down loading files, where a peer-to-peer protocol like BitTorrent is used. What different kind of seedbox do you suppose they are referring to? SpinningSpark 22:45, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - What search terms and how many pages are we talking here? The first page of Google Scholar in this AfD only has one related article which is the one that you posted the first time. On page one, I see articles with titles such as "Rangeland seeder development using semicircular seedbox and auger agitator seed metering concept." and "Convertible seedbox." Page 2, 3, and 4 are the same. I can't see seedbox in the preview of the other article so I can only assume good faith that it's significant coverage and not just that sentence.

      - Try seedbox server or seedbox BitTorrent. Those will give much more focused results. Or even seedbox copyright if you want to zoom in on that aspect. SpinningSpark 23:09, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Spinningspark: Hi. 😊 Erm... for some reason, the Springer link permits me to download the whole paper free of charge. Can you confirm? flowing dreams (talk page) 07:25, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - So it does. SpinningSpark 09:40, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This topic has impact, as part of the series on peer-to-peer networking. As an aside, I find this part of the nomination statement very strange: "All cited sources are not independent of the subject." Seedbox is an abstract concept; all sources on it are automatically independent of the subject. If it were a brand name, however, sources published by the brand promoters were not independent of the subject. flowing dreams (talk page) 07:22, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Flowing dreams: The only sources in the article were Seedbox Guide, SeedBoxList, and SeedBoxCenter. Anyway, they are all unreliable. SL93 (talk) 17:04, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - In that case, saying "independent" instead of "unreliable" was an unfortunate mistake. And while they might not live up to the lofty standards of WP:RS, I've always had a feeling that those writing this bit of policy never expected 90% of Wikipedia to be about pop culture. I just need a chance to sit down and read that Springer paper, then I can decide whether these sources are unreliable or not. flowing dreams (talk page) 07:25, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw: I will withdraw this, although I don't appreciate the bad faith that was brought forth just because I didn't use the same search terms. SL93 (talk) 17:04, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- There was no suggestion of bad faith, I'm sure the nomination was made in good faith, and I apologise if that's how it came across. There may have been an attempt at BEFORE, but it is still "could try harder". SpinningSpark 20:18, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Normally when I see editors tell other editors that they didn't follow BEFORE, it ends up being in bad faith. Heck, even if someone comes out and says in their nomination right away that they searched for sources, an editor can come along to ignore that and say that they didn't search for sources beforehand. The whole reason that I didn't say I searched for sources in the beginning is because I know that such a statement typically doesn't matter. I accept your apology. SL93 (talk) 20:22, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Could be revived if sources in Arabic (or any other language) are located in the future, but for now the consensus is to delete. RL0919 (talk) 03:38, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Samir Abbar[edit]

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

Despite playing in only two games in Ligue 2 I can't seem to find any resources stating that he played for the French team back in 2005-06. HawkAussie (talk) 00:53, 27 September 2019 (UTC) HawkAussie (talk) 00:53, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Football Database supports the 2apps in Ligue 2, though it's a moot point given it breaches the low appearance threshold anyway. However, I'd like an actual look into his Arabic name for potential media hits. It's admittedly unlikely given he played Ligue 2 (twice) and below for one French club, but we shouldn't delete without checking this - otherwise we'd have a bias to non-English articles. I usually would do so, but I'm unable to find a reliable name translation. R96Skinner (talk) 01:35, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair point, but Abbar joined Créteil at age 13. I doubt there is going to be any significant coverage in Algeria-based sources.
- In reply to the nom, Abbar definitely played in Ligue 2 - he was expelled from the match against Bastia according to this match report. Jogurney (talk) 14:26, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - scraped by on WP:NFOOTBALL which is not enough when he fails GNG so comprehensively. Plenty of consensus about this. Giant Snowman 09:35, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Article about footballer who made two appearances in fully-pro Ligue 2 (see my note above), but for which there is no significant coverage in English- or French-language reliable sources. I haven't determined a proper Arabic translation of his name to search Arabic-language sources, but since he spent his entire playing career in France, the utter lack of coverage in French-language sources suggests strongly that an Arabic-language source search won't yield anything either. With a comprehensive GNG failure, the presumption of notability in NFOOTBALL doesn't hold. Jogurney (talk) 14:31, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't necessarily disagree about the Arabic sources part, as I mentioned myself, but I think it would be poor of us to assume that; however likely it is. Abbar could be written about for something other than his footballing career, for all we know he could be making a career for himself in Algeria in a different field. Again, probably unlikely but surely we can't claim a subject fails something that we haven't even checked? It's an issue for Wikipedia as a whole to be honest, language barriers are rarely taken into account. R96Skinner (talk) 17:28, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I am confident that سمير = Samir, and نادي كريتيل = Créteil-Lusitanos. Searching for these generates no relevant results. Without an Arabic transliteration of his surname, we can't be certain, but it's odd that nothing comes up with the more generic search. Jogurney (talk) 19:55, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
