Non exhaustive list below

Non exhaustive set of "List of awards and achievements by sportspersons / actors / entertainers" -- Lists need to be handled at aggregate not Ad-hoc
  • I think discussing each article on its individual merits is where we should be heading. Ajf773 (talk) 10:03, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I believe it should be nominated as well. My preference would be an individual AfD. Ajf773 (talk) 10:03, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Ajf773, If you are working this AfD -- you should work all the articles in the list that I have provided as an aggregate. Else, this would be selective white-washing. Try this with a List of career achievements by Michael Jordan or List of career achievements by Shaquille O'Neal and we will know the commitment. Ktin (talk) 10:17, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There's nothing stopping you from listing those yourself. Should be a slam-dunk delete (see what I did there...) as they are both classic examples of WP:NOTSTATS. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 11:16, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Lugnuts, I wouldn't list any of them because I believe that each and every one of them have a reason to exist within en.wiki. "List of awards and achievements of ..." is a standard structuring framework for large biographies and absolutely deserves to exist in en.wiki.
If we are deleting it for one article on the grounds that it does not belong here, the structuring framework itself has to be reconsidered, and not just the AfD. Ktin (talk) 17:09, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
To expand on my earlier !vote (which you seem to have overlooked) if you take the time to go through this list, it fails WP:NOTSTATS badly with endless indiscriminate, unexplained and context-free snippets of information, much of which is unsourced. Also, many of the "records" are not records at all but "one of the top x" bites of trivia. Cut all the problem content away and almost everything that is left is already included in the main article. A clear and obvious deletion candidate. wjematherplease leave a message... 17:56, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wjemather, WP:BEBOLD and cull out the trivia, if that's what you want to do. AfD is an expensive process to go down along, when article improvements can be enabled by simpler edits. Ktin (talk) 18:02, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Even if this were a notable standalone subject (and no-one has offered and argument that it is), it's so bad that WP:TNT would be the best option. wjematherplease leave a message... 18:20, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Further, lists such as these are almost always the result of a WP:SPLIT with notability inherited from the main subject. That would be the case here, but it doesn't appear to have been a formal split, so it's more of a WP:FORK with extra indiscriminate cruft. wjematherplease leave a message... 18:27, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary plot information that fails WP:NOTPLOT and maybe GAMEGUIDE if you stretch it a bit. None of the few non-primary sources provide significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. They are just trivial mentions of no worth to this article. Such information should be summarized in the main article per WP:WAF. There is no justification for needing so much context on in-universe items in a general encyclopedia without the backing of real world information. These belong on a fan wiki.

Second, there are already secondary sources in the article, if only a few. The deletion voters lament the absence of secondary and non-plot summary sources, but they also oppose the merge of the non-plot summary source by Wolf (only one I can see now, but there it is), even though the corresponding section in the target article is as yet missing both secondary sources any non-plot summary information. So should we preserve such content in Wikipedia or not!?
Given the found limitation of secondary sources here a merge could be reasonable. As I don't think the analysis provided would fit very well at Dragonlance#World, though, I personally would prefer to simply keep it here. Daranios (talk) 11:05, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, to the extent that you can for such a vague topic, but BEFORE isn't really relevant to the validity of a nomination anyway. It's just an expected courtesy. I see no particular need for the retention of that one reference because it's a rather trivial mention. It also appears Raistlin Majere handles all the necessary context of the item and already contains multiple references to that source, so it's not like there's even any loss. TTN (talk) 13:37, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment That one secondary source by Wolf does not appear to actually be a reliable source. It is a grad student's thesis, that was published by "Grin", a company that allows you to "Publish for free & earn money" on student papers. Essentially, it is a self-published student paper, and thus not something we can consider a reliable, secondary source, so no, we should not preserve or merge said content. If the argument to keep or merge is being based entirely on the existence of that source, I would ask that @BOZ: and @Daranios: take another look and reconsider their stance. Rorshacma (talk) 14:57, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @TTN Thanks for doing the WP:BEFORE search. A nominator does not have to do this. Just as no contributor has to adhere to WP:GNG. There are no rules on Wikipedia, only guidelines. But if one does follow the WP:AfD guideline (which is the basis of what we are doing here), then you have to, to quote "be sure to ... Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability". So such a search is not "just an expected courtesy".
@Rorshacma Thanks for looking into this. I see no reason to doubt the accuracy of Wolf, but I agree that it is below the standard set by Wikipedia's guideline.
That leaves us with only a few plot-summary sources. I see no reason why we should not preserve them. So until further sources are found, I change my suggestion to merge and redirect. Daranios (talk) 11:19, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Because just like the secondary sources already in the article, the information is barely about the subject of the article. They are on the plots of particular products that happen to mention that one of these appear in them. For example, the "Dungeons and Desktops" reference you added literally has one sentence describing one of the objects entirely as a plot summary, which is "The party's quest is a desperate attempt to recover the Disks of Mishakal, upon which are inscribed the teachings of the True Gods", which you somehow managed to turn into five separate citations. The Robertson article also only speaks of a couple of the items merely when summarizing the plots of the franchise, again with only a sentence or two - the entire coverage of the Blue Crystal Staff in the paper is a single sentence, "For example, the story of Riverwind's quest to find the Blue Crystal Staff is mentioned and somewhat opaquely told in Chronicles, Volume i; told as a song in Tales, Volume i; and told in full (and in prose) in Preludes II, Volume i: Riverwind the Plainsman (1990)". Adding in more sources that are no better than any of the current sources that have already been dismissed as not appropriate for retention does not suddenly make the article now need to be retained. Rorshacma (talk) 15:19, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you care to take another look, I am at this point not arguing for the article to be retained. I have changed my keep vote after your argument.
The critique was that there are too few secondary sources, and that all content here based on secondary sources is present in the target article(s). This is not the case. So I still maintain that there is something to be merged.
I am still adding to this article instead of another one because I have a faint hope that enough may come up to make it worthwhile. But as already other deletion discussions are raised clamoring for attention, it seems I won't have as much time as I thought.
As for me turning one sentence into five different citations: I did not create any of that content. I only found a secondary source for it. And as too many primary and too few secondary sources was one of the starting points of the discussion, I am surprised that adding them should be a negative thing. I also did not split up the one source to make it look more important. But there is primary-based content interspersed. By giving the reference at each respective sentence, I wanted to make clear which is which. If it would be better done differently, please do. Daranios (talk) 20:51, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think article creator Onel5969 intended this to be junk. It is listed in GNIS as a populated place (yes, know there are issues with this in some instances), but there's some evidence that a section foreman resided at Olga at one time, so there are instances of people claiming to be from Olga.--Milowenthasspoken 15:30, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
None of which means mass-producing iffy stubs by pulling from a questionable database is a good idea. Hog Farm Bacon 15:39, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If you think the GNIS is "questionable database" you might want to look into what many people think about Wikipedia! We just work to make it better. Personally I feel enriched to have learned about Olga. I want to know who it is named after now.--Milowenthasspoken 16:54, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
GNIS is very good with stating that something with a certain name existed at a certain point. Given some of what GNIS calls "populated places", I'd say it's a terrible idea to equate "populated place" with a community, so it's more rather bad editorial decision. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Headquarters, Arizona and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dilday Mill, Missouri for two of the more obvious ones. Hog Farm Bacon 17:22, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I dug around and determined this is on the Southern Pacific's line built across eastern Arizona in 1880, which reached Deming, New Mexico late in that year. In March 1881, the Santa Fe's lines from the east reached Deming, making this line the second transcontinental line across the United States. None of this makes Olga independently notable, but I suspect I can create an article suitable for this to redirect to.--Milowenthasspoken 14:20, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:CRIMINAL / WP:BLPCRIME, which states "Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured."

  • Just being related to a famous person doesn't make people notable in their own right. A significant personality should get non-trivial reliably sourced coverage about who Pío López Obrador is as an independent subject. Creating a biography of living person solely composed of unproven allegations violates multiple Wikipedia policies, as I and the nominator have stated above. If the media aren't producing an in-depth profile of this person, it is not Wikipedia's purpose to shine a spotlight on him. • Gene93k (talk) 16:35, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You do not understand BLP policy, AGF. [This https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mexico-odebrecht/mexico-asks-brazils-moro-for-help-with-its-odebrecht-graft-probe-source-idUSKCN1SD2QE] makes it extremely plausible that such a claim has been made (see Dilma and Lula).
  • I am not linking anything, I am saying this is not a case for speedy deletion just because the Mexican people are not in the street.
  • The Mexican people have in fact been in the street and in the jungle for some time in Chiapas
  • I am not endorsing the truth of the reporting. If convinced it is untrue I will withdraw my objection.
  • I have not evaluated the sources. This would be a better basis for making this decision than whether there is an insurrection, imho.
  • It is also possible that these references are hit pieces, which would also be notable.
  • I say these things as someone who has spent several years with the material. It is relevant to Operation Car Wash and the Odebrecht pages. These are absolutely in line with Wikipedia policy; I was named editor of the week for some of my stuff on Operation Car Wash. There is definitely a BLP concern but at least at this point I disagree with any speedy deletion. I have categorized the article under Corruption in Mexico. It is relevant to this category whether true or not. I have also identified the Chiapas politician. I suggest vetting the sources if you want to delete it. Elinruby (talk) 08:08, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I just realized that you probably don't know that the bagman is always somebody's brother. Elinruby (talk) 08:12, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Fine, I have removed the BLP violations for you then. You are using a reuters article which doesn't mention Pio as a justification for your smears on him. It doesn't matter if they may be true or not, without reliable sources making the same accusations they shouldn't be discussed here (and without a conviction they shouldn't be in the article). IF you reinstate the allegations and implications I will bring this to some appropriate noticeboard instead. Fram (talk) 08:59, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I will be reverting that. Feel free to complain. I privided a direct link between Obredecht and Obrador. You have completely missed the point. At least one of the references provided looks reliable, and even corporate and mainstream. The other seems to be some sort of blog but it looks professional and has a staff box that lists quite a few editors. I provided a gold=plated link (The Economist?) for a connection between the Obredechts and Obrador. I am in fact suggesting that he could have been set up. If you do not think the Obredechts have something to do with Brazil, please inform yourself before commenting further. I have not ruled out a BLP violation yet, but it us definitely not a speedy delete. After identifying the other politician mentioned, I checked his article and hr is not just some Chiapas politician, he is a cabinet member in the Mexican government. If he is making cash payments to the reformist president's brother, it is notable, sorry, and it doesn't matter how indignant you are. I find your defense of this fellow's honor fascinating, but it is also in the BLP for thr other politician, and apparently it's on video. That is pretty freaking reliable. Of course, this doesn't conclusively prove that is it true, but now that we know it isn't a candidate for speedy delete we can discuss whether there are BLP violations, and this depends on whether this is true, which on wikipedia is largely determined by the reliability of the sources.

As for your reply, your "gold-plated link" doesn't mention the subject of the article/AfD, so can not be used to introduce any links between him and other crimes or criminal organisations. I have no interest at all in whether the Mexican president or others are involved with whatever scandal, country, ...; if you want to link Pio Lopez Obrador to any of these things, then you need sources linking him directly to them, not connecting the dots on your own. Fram (talk) 11:45, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Elinruby: Wikipedia does not work this way. Per WP:Verifiability, especially the WP:PROVEIT section, it is for the contributing editor to vet the sources that support the content. Sources should be reputable for checking their facts. If a source is a hit piece, Wikipedia should almost never use it, even as evidence of notability. Brazil is only relevant here in that WP:BLP1E and WP:BLPCRIME apply there too. Secondary figures don't mentions, let alone Wikipedia articles, especially when the accusations are not proven. Finally, Wikipedia is not investigative journalism. It is not Wikipedia's mission to illuminate topics that should be of general interest or to right great wrongs in general. • Gene93k (talk) 10:22, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The English-language sources are catching up to the Spanish ones you still don't seem to have read. Meanwhile, do not delete this article. There are plentiful reliable sources (FT, Bloomberg, Reuters) that the PEMEX scandal is related to Car Wash, and the video of the brother surfaced a day or two later, which definitely does feel like retaliation but also raises some serious news coverage. I know it's complicated, but the point is this: it is no longer a speedy delete, not happening. The fact that there is a video is now verified, and my previous analysis of the provided sources is irrelevant since we are going to base it on the English-language financial press, and won't have to worry about it. By the way, one of the allegations in the PEMEX scandal is that a prior president allowed cartels to steal oil ;) so I suppose, AGF, that you are unaware of the ABCs of this kind of corruption. . I will rewrite this in my own words to fix the copyvio; and link it in to Odebrecht with lotsa sources. It perhaps would be better to merge it but I will have to look at this further.

Nope. This article says things about One Bull. The sources say even more. Regarding those sources, the comment about them all being about Sitting Bull is neither accurate nor relevant.

DiamondRemley39 (talk) 20:55, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No. 1 is a local paper covering an election and says "Sitting Bull's Son a Candidate" in the subheadline. Doesn't contribute much to notability and very little to content about the subject.

Advertorialized article about a magazine publishing company, not making any strong or properly referenced claim to passing WP:CORP. Essentially the notability claim on offer here is that the company and its titles exist, which is not in and of itself an inclusion freebie in the absence of sufficient media coverage about it to clear WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH -- but the closest thing to "referencing" present here at all is a linkfarmed stack of external links to the company's own self-published websites for itself and its magazines. Also conflict of interest, as the creator's username was "Norcomm" -- but as always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which companies are entitled to place advertorialized content about themselves just because their own self-created web presence technically verifies that they exist.

There was non-consensus or rather a very rough consensus generated via absence of discussion. The references in the article are junk. They are a mix of press-releases, YouTube videos that nobody is watching, run of the mill business news, passing mentions and tangentially linked information.

Hello @Scope creep:, The youtube video is a direct upload by a major German news broadcaster, Pheonix[5]. That is evidence for notability and a good reference. Does wiki not permit videos as references? The other article is a written article by DW a major German journalism organisation[6]. Why did you remove this? Finally you are right regarding the South China Morning Post. I have just read the wiki guidelines to notability and note press-releases hold no weight for notability and this discussion. However, wiki does allow press releases to be included so can we please keep it? While it seems Hemmersbach did pay for the post I am sure South China Morning Post does not allow all articles to be posted just because someone has money. I think it thus hold value to the reader. It doesn't make sense we keep deleting each others changes so I'll wait for your reply or someone else's judgment before restoring the changes you made. Many thanks!

No one is watching it. It has 500 odd views. It is non-notable and non-RS scope_creepTalk 11:33, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Scope creep:, I agree the video is not notable for the youtube views. But rather the live-televison views as Pheonix is part of ZDF which makes up a 15.5% of the audience share for German TV, as of 2018. I cannot find current statistics but in 2014 it had 13% audience share and was the most watched channel. I would argue that one of the top German news channels making a full-length program on a Rhino Force project is notable. Do you agree? MichaelDubley (talk) 00:56, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-advertorialized article about a business executive and philanthropist, not properly sourced as the subject of enough media coverage to clear our inclusion standards for those occupations. Of the 13 footnotes here, just one is a genuinely acceptable piece of real media coverage about him, which is not enough to get him over WP:GNG all by itself as the only reliable source in play -- everything else here is referenced to the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations, blogs, dead links or sources which just briefly namecheck him as a giver of soundbite in an article about a subject other than himself, none of which are proper notability-supporting sources. Nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced significantly better than this. Bearcat (talk) 15:16, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. The article is lightly sourced to very questionably WP:RS material that speculates on popular rumors. WP:OR is used to declare he has received "significant media attention" when, in fact, the sources used to support that statement say no such thing.

Sustainable Development Goal 9[edit]

Sustainable Development Goal 9 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article has been redirected before, with reference to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sustainable Development Goal 3 (by User:Jake Brockman), but it has been revamped. But what applied in that AfD applies here as well: "Reads more like a report than an encyclopaedia article". This is indeed a report, lacking secondary sourcing (there was some material with secondary sourcing synthesized into the article, which I removed). The sourcing, in a nutshell, is all programmatic and relies on primary references, and never gets away from a highly detailed summary of the goals set by the UN.

I thought this was maybe part of a school project, but now I see that it's this, Wikipedia:Meetup/Online edit-a-thon SDGs September 2020--the net effect seems to be the creation of a walled garden of sub-articles pertaining to the already inflated Sustainable Development Goals. I have no objection to someone bundling the other SDG sub-articles into this. Drmies (talk) 14:44, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for sure. this has already been discussed so many times, I am getting quite tired of it! There are 17 SDGs and they each deserve their own article. Some of them might not yet be perfect but we are working on that this week as part of the mentioned edit-a-thon. Rather help with improving the articles and finding more references than complaining that it's not good enough. Why is Sustainable Development Goals inflated in your view?? What is a walled garden? Do we really have to have the same discussion over and over again. See here and here. EMsmile (talk) 15:40, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
EMsmile, what are you trying to point at? There is no agreement on that talk page in the one section and, at any rate, it's hardly an RfC or an AfD discussion, and the second one is just a section where Sphilbrick is explaining copyright to you. That you are tired of it is not my concern: my concern is that we write articles that are notable by our standards, and that means that they have reliable secondary sources to prove they should have an article. I cannot tell from your comments here or on that talk page that you understand how notability works here--and you are certainly not providing any evidence for notability here. Drmies (talk) 16:15, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You didn't respond to my questions: "Why is Sustainable Development Goals inflated in your view?? What is a walled garden?". From that it seems to me that you are saying the SDGs are not notable? And I think I understand quite well what makes a topic notable or not for Wikipedia. Those places that I linked to were indeed not AfDs but to me they were good enough because consensus was achieved. Some of the SDG articles have already been around for many years. E.g. do you also want to propose to delete SDG 6? You talked about "bundling other SDG sub-articles into this". Which ones? All 17? EMsmile (talk) 16:20, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
And I do agree that the SDG 9 article is weak. I had a quick look at the state of the other 16 after one week of online edit-a-thon and the SDG 9 one is probably the weakest. So an "improve" tag is definitely in order. But what worries me is that you seem to make a blanket statement saying that you don't like any of the other SDG articles and that you don't think improvement is possible and the only possible solution is deletion. Or did I misunderstand? Would you want to delete as well SDG 6, SDG 1, SDG 13 etc.? And what don't you like about the SDG article? You are finding it too long? That's why we need the sub-articles, otherwise it would be much longer still. If you have a problem with the SDG article, I suggest you put it on the talk page there so that we can improve it. Your statement of "already inflated" worries me. EMsmile (talk) 16:41, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
EMsmile, there was no consensus for anything relevant to this discussion in the links you pointed at. The walled garden here is used to indicate that we have a large amount of articles linked to each other and edited by the same group of editors, all of which contain loads and loads of information that is, no doubt, also found on the organizational website, in addition to huge chunks of irrelevant material whose only purpose seems to be either a. an exercise in essay writing (original research) or b. fluffing up the reflist with truly secondary sources. Sadads, one wonders why the sourcing across those articles can be so bad if there are so many editors working on them; typically that's a sign of COI. How many links to sdg.tracker.org can one article have? But I see that your "strong keep" is quickly parroted, so indeed it's pretty pointless here (though you're the only one to present a valid reason) and I'll close this myself.

Full list of nominated articles

I nominated this in bulk three years ago with a result of Keep, but I'm still not sure how a list of songs of any length beyond number ones from a minor secondary chart (albeit with a long history) passes WP:LISTN. I believe the type of information these types of list try to impart reached WP:IINFO, doesn't receive coverage in third-party sources, and some info like "Weeks in top ten" are not verifiable outside of looking at every chart week by week and keeping one's own tally. Since the first nomination, top-ten lists of other charts have been deleted, such as:

So there seems to be some growing precedence. There are a number of other similar lists that still exist with particularly concerted efforts by individuals to continue and expand the List of Billboard Hot 100 top-ten singles, Lists of UK top-ten singles, and Lists of UK top-ten albums, but those are for another discussion.

I didn't vote as it was obvious which way it would go but i think you went about it the right way, AFAIK the creator is a new editor who has shown enthusiasm and coding/sourcing skills which can take some time.

All references seem to meet notability guidelines, they have been consistently written about in international media such as the FT, Wall Street Journal, Reuters etc. Information on this page is sourced to independent and credible titles such as these.Travelsandwords (talk) 14:47, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Surely a simple cleanup of some of the references that are causing issues is a more appropriate response than total deletion?45.178.73.238 (talk) 13:45, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please can you explain how coverage can be "trivial" as per WP:CORPDEPTH given the types of publications (top tier international media like the Financial Times, New York Times, Wall Street Journal etc)? Please can you provide a few examples - genuinely interested to see your thinking here...45.178.73.238 (talk) 16:00, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I will use the article from the Financial Times as my example. As you can see, they mention R3 only in one paragraph, and they only mention that it enabled them to "process the relevant documents in 24 hours". This sentence is completely unusable. The documents referenced are from the previous paragraph, but we know nothing about them at all, other than that they relate to foodstuffs. Also, what does it even mean to "process" documents? The article doesn't explain it. There is no useable information in that article, it is just propping up companies and products. How can you call this "in-depth coverage", which is what CORPDEPTH is about? --Ysangkok (talk) 17:22, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is helpful, thanks for providing the example. I have removed information sourced to references that cannot be classified as 'in depth coverage' from the page.Travelsandwords (talk) 13:50, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Let me also add, the banner on the newspaper does not, on its own, denote any notability on the company - the most important part of any reference is the content. There are two key considerations. 1) Does the reference provide in-depth coverage on the company (and not just mentions-in-passing or one-line descriptions etc). 2) Is there "Independent Content" (as defined in WP:ORGIND), therefore not just rehashed details from customer announcements or interviews/quotations from company officers, etc). The reason why I'm commenting is that you say that you "removed information sourced to references that cannot be classified as 'in-depth coverage' and you therefore may have misinterpreted the *differences* between sources that you may use to place detail in the article (mainly WP:RS) and the quality of sources we require to establish notability.

At the national level, there are associations of cities that regard themselves as uiversity cities. This is the case, for example, of the Association des Villes Universitaires de France (AVUF), founded by the City of Rouen in 1993. At the European level, there are at present only two well-established networks of university cities and university institutions: EUniverCities Network (Netherlands) and Unitown-University Town Network (Italy). A Third network, named UniversCities, was announced in a conference promoted by the University of Geneva (Switzerland) at the end of 2015. This initiative seems, even in its title, very similar to that proposed by Concordia University in Montreal (Canada) for 2017. Let us examine the main features of the two existing European networks which compromise both university and city insitutions, EUniverCities and Unitown.
EUniverCities is a European network launched in 2012. The network aims to exchange and spread the knowledge, expertise, and experience about city-university cooperation across Europe. It is comprised of ten medium-sized cities and universities which have agreed to work together (in tandem) in order to give university cities more visibility within Europe. It seems to be focused on innovation and technology transfers between universities and cities, but it is open to a broad range of cdomains of city-university cooperation. The network seems to prefer a decentralized working method, rather than general conferences addressed to all members.

Excerpt from Source 2:

Implicarea Universității de Vest din Timișoara în comunitate primește o recunoaștere importantă. Instituția a fost acceptată cu statut de membru observator în cadrul rețelei europene EUniverCities. La începutul lunii decembrie, la Trondheim, Norvegia, se va semna documentul prin care UVT va fi acceptată ca membru cu drepturi depline, devenind astfel prima universitate din sud-estul Europei parte a prestigioasei rețele.
EUniverCities este o rețea europeană, lansată oficial în 2012, în care orașele mijlocii și universitățile lor colaborează (în așa-numitele tandemuri) pentru a îmbunătăți cooperarea. Obiectivul rețelei este schimbul și răspândirea cunoștințelor, expertizei și experienței cu privire la cooperarea dintre oraș și universitate.

This is a non-existent entity. Yes, Trump said on September 17 that he would "soon" create a 1776 Commission.[14] Trump says many things that come to nothing.

Bishonen - The Trump administration is sclerotic enough that there is no clear dividing line between his brain-farts and actual policy, so it's quite possible this ends up being acted on - and even if it doesn't it's also quite possible that this concept becomes a topic of academic or political discussion. For now it's received WP:SIGCOV as its been discussed (and is still being discussed widely), it's clearly verifiable, the only question is whether the coverage is going to be lasting - and we really can't know that at this point but we do have guidelines saying that this can take "weeks or months" to assess, so I'm saying that we leave it up in the meantime. And if it doesn't then the appropriate solution is to merge to Political positions of Donald Trump#Education as it is clearly a "political position of Donald Trump", not delete it.

Thank you for your comment. While we can take the subject's wishes for deletion into account in marginal notability cases, per WP:BLPDELETE, there is no way for us to verify your assertion that you are the subject of the article. Usually in these types of situations a person wishing to have a WP article about them deleted should submit a request to OTRS through the OTRS ticket system. They can verify the details there, while preserving the privacy protections, and if the claim checks out, somebody from OTRS then posts a verification note in the relevant AfD. You can find more details and relevant links at WP:OTRS. Nsk92 (talk) 12:44, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Everything that Nsk92 says is correct. I'll add that barring last minute arguments, the page will probably be deleted in another day or so (7 days from posting). So you might want to wait before going to the trouble of figuring out OTRS. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 13:07, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, the article is misnamed. The Schooled here refers to two television specials that first aired on ABC Family in 2006 and then on The CW in 2007, which were then distributed in DVD format. A WP:BEFORE search revealed this Variety (magazine) article[17], which clearly states that the specials were outright promotional ventures commissioned by OfficeMax to boost sales at the start of the school year. The creator of the article (now inactive) is in all likelihood a fan of The All-American Rejects who were the main performers of the CW special. It is not an independent album by the band.

While the general topic of vegetarianism is certainly notable, there is no encyclopedic value to collating a list of the people we have articles about who have made some sourceable comment somewhere, sometime indicating that they are or were a vegetarian. Virtually no one on this is list is notable for being a vegetarian. It's almost never a WP:DEFINING characteristic of a person (although there are undoubtedly occasional exceptions). This list further has columns for "occupation" and "country", but these have nothing to do with being a vegetarian either. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 00:39, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Vegans used to be listed as part of the List of vegetarians article but were split out. Therefore List of vegans is technically a sub-list of the List of vegetarians. Any AfD for List of vegans needs to be considered alongside the List of vegetarians. For example, if there were a consensus to delete the List of vegans then that would essentially amount to a merge in a practical sense, if the List of vegetarians still existed. And if the list was deleted on notability grounds would this prohibit splitting the list again on the basis of size? In other words, the point I am making is that the fate of both articles really need to be determined together otherwise you could arrive at contradictory outcomes. In that sense I favor discussing all three articles together. Betty Logan (talk) 02:39, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Agree with nominator that the article's lack of encyclopedic value is based on the fact that people don't attain notability for being vegetarians: If each of the members of the list isn't notable on the basis of teh subject of the list, then the entire list as one unit lacks notability.
  2. In addition, being vegetarian isn't like being, say, Black: i.e., we have, for example, a List of black Academy Award winners and nominees and we have a List of Latino Democrats because Black and Latino are attributes intrinsic to a person (they are born with them), as opposed to vegetarianism, something people can practice today but abandon tomorrow. In this sense, this List of vegetarians would be like creating a List of men married to women named Mary. Compare such useless lists to List of black Academy Award winners and nominees and List of Latino Democrats, lists that depict static, non-changing attributes.
  3. Also, List of vegetarians is non-notable. This is why we don't have a "List of meat-eaters"? Such lists are frivolous.
  4. Also, we don't need lists like these because we already use WP:Categories to fulfill the need to track people who were notable for X reason but then also happened to be vegetarians, for example, Paul McCartney and John Harvey Kellogg (both members of the Category:Vegetarianism activists) or, additional categories can be created, such as [[Category: Vegetarian singers]] and [[Category: Vegetarian doctors]], to track such vegetarian people.
  5. Having a list like List of vegetarians is somehwat akind to attributing notability to a someone solely on the basis of being a writer: a person is hardly ever notable for being a non-fiction writer - you become notable as a professor of biology who, as a by-product, also wrote a book about Biology of dead organisms, or you become notable as a historian who, as a by-product, also wrote a book about the History of the Appalachia, or you become notable as a poet who, as a byproduct, also wrote an Anthology of Byzantine poems, etc. That is, just writing a book doesn't suddenly make you notable: you must have made some significant contribution to biology, history or poetry first and become notable on that basis. This is one reason why we don't have articles like List of murdered Americans.
  6. An additional basis for deletion is WP:INDISCRIMINATE: "To provide encyclopedic value...merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia."
  7. At best, if kept, the list should include only those people who are notable primarily for being vegetarians, like Herbert M. Shelton, Lewis Gompertz, and Claire Loewenfeld, as opposed to being notable in some other field but also happened to be vegetarian. But, frankly, the distinguishing lines here can be so subjective as to making even such limited list, potentially, an exercise in futility.
Mercy11 (talk) 05:06, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, just a few comments.
  1. The criteria for inclusion to lists and categories are always happened to be. A protein can be included to the list of proteases just because it happened to be a protease, not because it is a notable protease. You say: "people don't attain notability for being vegetarians". Yes, sure, most of them did not, but the inclusion to a list does not require anyone to be notable specifically as a member of a list. This is because an item can belong to several different lists or categories. For example, a protein can be a protease and a membrane protein. Is it notable for being a protease or a membrane protein? No, it was simply described as such in RS. Is it "important" or "characteristic" for a protein to be a protease or a membrane protein? Yes, simply because it was described as such in multiple RS. Same about people. Is it "important" or "characteristic" for a person that he/she was a vegan? Yes if he/she was described as such in multiple RS and was self-identify as such. Same would apply to Latino, etc.
  2. One should also check Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone_lists. It tells "Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. That one certainly was discusseed in RS in that way, there is even a book "Vegetarians and Vegans in America Today".
  3. "Black and Latino are attributes intrinsic to a person (they are born with them)". I always thought that "More generally, these demographics include all Americans who identify as Hispanic and/or Latino (regardless of ancestry)" - as our page Hispanic and Latino Americans tells. So, this is not an attribute "intrinsic to a person".
  4. "List of Latino Democrats, lists that depict static, non-changing attributes." What?? Consider a Democrat who becomes later a Republican (or vice versa), a member of Green Party, whatever. My very best wishes (talk) 16:00, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That you MVBW -- good eye! Although my focus was on the intrinsic nature of one's race/ethnicy, and not non-intrinsic nature of one's political party affiliation, my argument is most brilliantly made with my additional illustration above of List of black Academy Award winners and nominees. I am hopeful you did understand that was my point. Thanks for teh observation. Mercy11 (talk) 00:42, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
[following comment by Historyday01 moved from insertion in the middle of Mercy11's comment above, in response to "3. Also, List of vegetarians is non-notable..." -Ed.]
I disagree with this assessment. How is being a vegetarian not notable in and of itself? Most of people, especially in Western societies, are meat-eaters, with vegetarians in the minority. Just look at a recent survey by the Vegetarian Resource Group, which commissions surveys on the topic every year. While over half of the U.S. population "always or sometimes eats vegetarian (including vegan) meals when eating out," only 6% call themselves vegetarian, half of whom call themselves vegan. I support limiting the list, but I think it should still exist, as it is still a notable characteristic compared to the general population. In some countries, yes, there are many vegetarians, but are nowhere close to the majority. A push for vegetariansm and veganism has become akin to a social movement. As Mandy Meyer of WTVOX put it, "the number of vegans in the world is on the rise. We see significant pro-veganism movements in Western countries, Eastern Europe, Australia and Israel. Moreover, as cultures and landscapes change for the better, veganism has started to gain momentum in Latin America, Asia, and Africa as well." Additionally, many vegans and vegetarians return to meat-eating, making the number of people who stay vegan and vegetarian smaller as well. These are both reasons that this topic is notable. Historyday01 (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I disagree with this rationale. Keeping this list is important. If you wish to limit the list by specific criteria, that is a discussion which should be limited to the talk page of the article, rather than in an AFD.Historyday01 (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Like the other people who want to delete this, such rationale is illogical. A list of meat-eaters would be just as absurd as a list of straight people. Yes, vegetarianism and animal rights are different, and there is already a List of animal rights advocates page. Vegetarians are notable because no matter how you slice it, there is no country where vegetarians are the majority. Not even India, where 98% of the population eats meat. All the stats are noted on the Vegetarianism by country page, proving my point. Historyday01 (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That logic, like the others who want to delete this article, makes little sense. I see no issue with people saying in interviews that they are vegetarian. Would you rather cite tweets or instagram posts instead? Interviews are fine secondary sources. Unlike a list of people who bicycle to work, vegetarians are notable in and of themselves due to the fact they are clearly not the majority in any society of any of the countries on Earth. Historyday01 (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Vegetarianism is more than just a diet. As it states on the Vegetarianism page, "...many people object to eating meat out of respect for sentient life. Such ethical motivations have been codified under various religious beliefs, as well as animal rights advocacy. Other motivations for vegetarianism are health-related, political, environmental, cultural, aesthetic, economic, or personal preference." That alone shows it is more than just a diet and just flipping off a light switch. Historyday01 (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I see where you are coming from, but I still feel that the list has value. If you'd like to limit the page, then discuss that on the talk page rather than on this AFD. The talk page seems like the proper place.Historyday01 (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The9Man: I'm afraid I'm still not following. There is no requirement that any member of WikiProject Vegetarianism and Veganism favour any particular point of view -- members don't have to be vegans/vegetarians, for instance, just as members of (say) WikiProject Socialism don't need to be socialists.

BrikDuk raised concerns that editors are not adhering to the NPOV guidelines, and you objected to the suggestion, seemingly on the grounds that BrikDuk is a member of the WikiProject. But now you tell me that you have no idea how I felt you were objecting to their membership in the WikiProject. I ask again: what exactly are you saying here? I'm afraid I am lost. Josh Milburn (talk) 12:23, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@J Milburn: BrikDuk accused that others are not adhering NPOV and I asked him why they assume that while they also 'seem' to not doing the same. I extend my apologies to @BrikDuk: for 'assuming' that if they feel offended. 'Objected' is the wrong use of wording altogether, I didn't object to do anything.
If you are still not following me? That's absolutely fine. Since this is not constructively helping this AfD in any way, I won't be responding this to any further unless if BrikDuk have something to say. Let's use our time better for the project. - The9Man (Talk) 06:32, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am still not seeing why you think that BrikDuk does not "seem" to be adhering to NPOV -- the only "evidence" you have provided, as far as I can see, is that they are a member of a WikiProject, which is not really evidence at all. You suggest that this conversation is not helping the AfD. Maybe that's true, but I'm not going to apologise for asking for you to explain on what basis you are accusing others of (seeming) misconduct. (If objecting was the wrong word, so be it.)

List of meat-eaters literally isn't a page, so this argument doesn't hold water.Historyday01 (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously, my point sailed right over your head. The argument holds water precisely because there "literally" isn't a page. jps (talk) 01:14, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, this argument does not hold water. This is just a case of WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT for you.Historyday01 (talk) 02:46, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, certainly. They have been discussed separately at the previous AfDs, with nearly all participants voting "keep" for the list of vegans. The results of previous AfDs for the list of vegetarians were less convincing. My very best wishes (talk) 14:52, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps the list can be limited, but not having a page for vegetarians seems wrong. If there can be a List of animal rights advocates, a List of people influenced by Ayn Rand, a List of anarchist musicians, a List of fictional anarchists, and many other Lists of people by ideology, then why not have lists for vegans, pescatarians, and vegetarians.Historyday01 (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Really?? Vegetarians have extremely diverse motives: health, animal rights, environment, religion, or some combination of two or more of these. To say that they have "shared beliefs that...distinguish them as a definable group" makes no sense. What "shared beliefs" are there between a Jain and an overweight American celebrity who's heard that a vegetarian diet is a great way to lose weight? NightHeron (talk) 21:36, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. Personally I am not a vegetarian, but this is certainly not just a diet, but an ideology and a movement (especially vegans) related to refusal to killing animals. This is an argument to keep the list. My very best wishes (talk) 21:22, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think there are more than eight vegetarians who should be listed. I understand and agree with limiting the list, but that should be discussed on the talk page of the article, not in an AFD.Historyday01 (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The lists also don't have much value even as trivia. If there were a few select people who were unbelievably veggers, such as current athletes (because ordinary people such as myself find it unbelievable that real athletes wouldn't eat meat), then they could be presented in, say, the vegan article. But no one cares if an actor or musician or other ordinary folk is a vegger. Per What Wikipedia is not § Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections, we are cautioned against inclusion of trivia or content that has no context.
These lists have no cohesion to the collection; these people are as diverse a group as you can probably get. The lists are, in my opinion, simply a lengthy collection of names for the purpose of veg advocacy. These people aren't notable for their dietary choice. There are a few people who are well-known for being vegans, but most of the people on these lists are obscurely-veggers. I made the same argument at AfD for List of veterinarians which contained a huge list of people with veterinarian training that weren't known for that part of their life. Lax, indiscriminate inclusion criteria devalue a list, making it less useful and less interesting. Since its inception, these vegger lists have indiscriminately included all persons who ever once mentioned they had that dietary choice, with no evaluations on whether someone is notable for, known for, such. This violates WP:LISTN or is simply just weak/indiscriminate selection criteria... which leads back to WWIN (a collection of trivia). And what someone eats IS trivia for the majority of the persons on these lists. At least an early version of the vegetarian list (2004) was more interesting, mentioning a bit about each person or quotes of what they wrote, but within six months had lost most of its interesting bits.
I vote to delete, predominantly because good BLP practices cannot be maintained for these lists. Selection criteria is a fixable problem; the BLP is not.
Normal Op (talk) 08:01, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The mainstream news media often and with regular frequency report on notable people who are no longer vegetarians. It is one of the ways dominant culture will use to try and best downplay significance of vegetarian movement and try to prove by that it is a diet and not a longstanding social movement of today and to ancient history. Members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Veganism and Vegetarianism actively watch articles that include information regarding that a subject is vegetarian. This information in articles is modified or removed if reported in reliable news sources of that person no longer being part of vegetarian social movement. BrikDuk (talk) 09:50, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
BrikDuk: Notable (currently) to news media and notable (once ever) to Wikipedia are two entirely different uses of the word "notable". A once-notable person, who was granted an article in WP based on that old criteria, may no longer be of interest to news media. I doubt seriously that news media cares about 90% of the people on these lists and they wouldn't bother to report if any of them "started eating meat". Let's use a little common sense here; this list cannot be maintained to any standards required by BLP. And you using such language as "downplay significance of vegetarian movement" cements my viewpoint that this list is the cruft of advocacy editors. Normal Op (talk) 17:32, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think this discussion would be better served if arguments focused on notability and the inclusion criteria. Poor sourcing is not a justification for deletion: it can be fixed through more rigorous enforcement, so it's a non-issue. Likewise, Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS and therefore not expected to deliver up-to-the-minute developments. I suppose if somebody's status as a vegetarian/vegan is notable then it is still notable if they cease to be one. If Paul McCartney decided to tuck into a Big Mac I would argue that his vegetarianism is still notable since it has received coverage in reliable secondary sources. On the other hand, I think you can reasonably question the value of including somebody like James Franco on the list. The lists may amount to trivia but considering that Hitler makes an appearance I really don't think vegetarian advocacy is an accusation that holds water. Betty Logan (talk) 10:55, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Betty Logan: Don't re-frame my post as a "poor sourcing" issue. My point was that you cannot keep up with it, not simply that no one is maintaining the list often enough. Arguing NOTNEWS as your excuse for poor reporting or late corrections to content is irresponsible and violates BLP. I don't mean to say that vegetarianism is advocacy, I mean that the creation of this list is part of veg advocacy amongst Wikipedia editors. And I stand by my viewpoint that someone's dietary choice IS trivia; only advocates who wish to present veg diets as common and mainstream rather than an alternative see such a veg label as non-trivial. One common element I've found amongst all "ethical veggers" is that they believe everyone else should be, too, and refuse to see that it is NOT a choice of the majority. The veg movements may have expanded beyond FRINGE, but they are still a minority. Realize that and you can see that this list IS trivia and its presence in WP IS advocacy; both adequate reasons to delete these lists. Normal Op (talk) 17:32, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
NOTNEWS is not an excuse, it is a guideline. It is not Wikipedia's mandate to record the latest developments because it is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. Notability is supposed to be enduring so it is irrelevant if someone if someone has stopped being vegetarian. Per my example, if Paul McCartney stops being vegetarian his vegetarianism is still notable. And as for not being able to "keep up" with the sourcing, that is clearly not accurate: all the entries are sourced. If they are not properly sourced that has no bearing on notability. I am actually trying to help you strengthen your arguments here: when this discussion is closed the closer will assess the discussion purely on grounds of notability and whether the list is indiscriminate, not on whatever sourcing issues you think it may have. Betty Logan (talk) 19:15, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What is a vegger, and why are you contrasting "veggers" to "ordinary people"? It's perhaps no wonder that people are raising concerns about these articls not being given a fair hearing. Josh Milburn (talk) 12:32, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
J Milburn: Vegger is merely a word I coined to save me from having to type "vegetarian, vegan and/or pescetarian". Normal Op (talk) 17:32, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, maybe you should avoid "coining" words to refer to members of minority groups. Josh Milburn (talk) 19:39, 26 September 2020 (UTC) Especially when you insist on contrasting members of the group(s) in question to "ordinary people". Interesting that you chose to ignore that question. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:18, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's quite a stretch to claim that an entire list of people, many of whom are dead, violates WP:BLP - especially since every entry has at least one source. If a source is problematic and there is reason to think that the associated entry will be challenged, a better source can be requested or the entry can be removed. RockMagnetist(talk) 17:25, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
RockMagnetist: Re-read my comments, which include the FACT that maintenance of the list in terms of removing still-alive people from the list is impossible, therefore it can, and always will, violate BLP guidelines. I'm not saying putting someone on the list in the first place (with citation) is a violation of BLP, what I'm saying is that this list cannot be effectively maintained, and that that violates BLP. It's a shortcoming of this list that cannot be solved (except for the dead people, who won't be changing their dietary choices). Normal Op (talk) 18:07, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Psychologist Guy: Correct, the veg-isms are no longer FRINGE, but they ARE in the minority and are NOT mainstream. My crystal ball is broken, but yet you declare "The scientific consensus has shifted to a semi-vegetarian diet and is heading towards a plant-based diet" and "The consensus in the next 10-20 years will be to eliminate all or nearly all red and white meat from the diet." What you have described are semis... neither vegetarianism nor veganism. Semi isn't it. Doctors et al have been advocating "eat less red meat" for a very long time; still not vegetarianism or veganism. Normal Op (talk) 18:27, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Postdlf: Re-read my coments and responses above, which include the FACT that maintenance of the list in terms of removing still-alive people from the list is impossible, therefore it can, and always will, violate BLP guidelines.

It's a shortcoming of this list that cannot be solved (except for the dead people, who won't be changing their dietary choices). Combine that with the fact that someone's dietary choice is TRIVIA (unless they are a known advocate for vegging), and you have a list built upon ADVOCACY that is prone to BLP violations. Normal Op (talk) 18:13, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, I understood you, and your interpretation is not valid. There is no “duty of continuous investigation” in BLP to keep ensuring that some circumstance cited to an RS has not changed since it was published. Ironically the only other time I’ve seen anyone make that claim was to say we shouldn’t continue to describe anyone as “living” unless we continue to have new sources asserting that. Unworkable and absurd from either angle. postdlf (talk) 18:25, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Normal Op, if someone's dietary choice is trivia, why are you so worried about someone being temporarily mis-labeled as a vegetarian or vegan? As the policy says, there are hundreds of thousands of articles of articles on living persons, and "it is essential that a determined effort be made to eliminate defamatory and other inappropriate material from these articles". What it doesn't say is that we can't possibly keep all these articles up to date, so we shouldn't have them. Anyway, there is nothing defamatory about calling someone a vegan, especially if they actually were at some point in their lives. RockMagnetist(talk) 19:48, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well said, Betty Logan. I agree that someone should be known for their vegetarianism to qualify for entry on such a list; not simply a list of everyone who ever mentioned it once. The weak/inclusive inclusion criteria makes for a list of trivia; the well-defined strict criteria would make such a list interesting. Normal Op (talk) 21:52, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There may indeed be grounds for improving the inclusion criteria, but that's an issue to discuss on the article talk page, not an AfD. RockMagnetist(talk) 21:57, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would help to resolve the AfD if it came to a consensus about what the actual problem is though. Solutions usually become obvious once the actual problem is nailed down. Betty Logan (talk) 22:27, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Betty Logan: On Talk:List of vegetarians, I have proposed that the table format be disbanded and information on each entry emphasize the significance of vegetarianism for that person instead of forcing contributors to give the occupation and country. I don't have any great ideas for a better selection criterion. RockMagnetist(talk) 22:31, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think the idea posed by @RockMagnetist is a good one. I fully support limiting the list, but deleting it as the OP proposes would be a bad idea. I do not understand why this AFD was necessary. If the OP had issues with the page, why didn't they discuss it on the talk page? Historyday01 (talk) 20:06, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I think its worth adding more sources to this page and that should be worked on, but I would say that it is notable enough to keep. I similarly think that the List of pescetarians should be kept as well for similar reasons.Historyday01 (talk) 05:28, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • “nomination should be withdrawn because it is heavily based on Wikipedia:Defining which itself is solely about categories.”
Comment: The nomination is supported by a mix of WP:PG. Following are some of the PG's this list violates: WP:IINFO, WP:OR, and WP:LISTCRIT, yet the word “category” isn’t mentioned even once in any of them. It also violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY because it is a “List …of loosely associated topics”. Most notably, ”there is nothing wrong with having lists if their entries are relevant because they are associated with or significantly contribute to the list topic.” These people are neither associated with vegetarianism nor contributed to the topic of vegetarianism. Their only "association" is that they are vegetarians themselves, just like a List of Little League patrons. The people in this list are associated with whatever occupation, under the “Occupation” column made notable, and not with vegetarianism or any of the others. Otherwise we could have a List of Levy jean wearers as well.
  • “it does provide interesting information about vegetarianism, namely the list of famous people (aka celebrities) who followed this tradition.”
Comment: In this case, how about creating a List of celebrities who were meat-eaters, that is, a list of famous people who followed the meat-eating tradition?
Comment: Yes, that one should be deleted also. There is, in particular, no reason for that list to include people who, like Maria Grazia Giammarinaro, were born after slavery had already been abolished worldwide, since "slavery" has a very specify meaning in people's mind.
  • “Is it correct procedure to nominate 3 articles for deletion but direct them into 1 single afd discussion?”
Comment: Yes, because all 3 lists fall under WP:IINFO, and that’s reason enough to group them. If there was also a List of people who bicycle to work plus a List of men who married women named Mary, then all 5 can be grouped in the same AFD because all 5 fall under the same WP:IINFO.
  • “A protein can be included to the list of proteases just because it happened to be a protease, not because it is a notable protease.“
Comment: The "Fallacy of composition” – ”Because a protein can be added to the list of proteases just because it happened to be a protease, and not because it is a notable protease, then people can be added to the List of vegetarians just because they happened to be vegetarians, not because they are notable vegetarians,” which would make most people on the list red-linked.
  • “there is even a book ‘Vegetarians and Vegans in America Today’.”
Comment: The “Proof by example” fallacy – ”If there were no books written about vegetarians, it would be a non-notable list, but since there is 1 book written, then it must be notable.”
  • “How is being a vegetarian not notable in and of itself? Most of people, especially in Western societies, are meat-eaters, with vegetarians in the minority... it is still a notable characteristic compared to the general population.”
Comment: In this case, why not also create a separate, stand-alone List of former vegetarians? That would a be a list of notable people who became vegetarians, but then left the practice to become meat-eaters again. After all, such list would, also, be in the minority of the minority and, following that logic, such micro-minority ought to be even more notable yet in and of itself.
  • “These are both reasons that this topic is notable.”
Comment: These are both reasons that the topic on vegetarianism is notable, and the reason why no one has put an AFD on Vegetarianism. This AFD here is on List of vegetarians, not on the very valid topic of Vegetarianism.
  • “[there IS a no] requirement that someone be notable “for” something in order for it to be listed.”
Comment: No? Please see WP:N, which determines outright whether or not an article on individual x can or cannot exist. Or, forgive me, perhaps I misunderstood. Perhaps what was said meant that anyone can add their names to the list, simply because they are vegetarians (redlinked), as opposed to already being notable for something unrelated to vegetarianism (bluelinked). In this case that implication/suggestion would appear to be that it’s OK for the list to grow into the, perhaps, millions of names (most of which will be redlinked).
  • “The repeated nomination of these pages shows discrimination and bias against these topical lists of people by minority dietary and ethical stance taken.”
Comment: The “Affirming the consequent” fallacy – ”Because it has been repeatedly nominated, then its nominators must be biased” (much like, “If the room is dark, then the lamp must be broken,” without considering that a dark room could instead be the result of the lamp not being plugged in, etc.)
  • ”Yes, certainly [they should be discussed separately]. They have been discussed separately at the previous AfDs, with nearly all participants voting "keep" for the list of vegans.
Comment: The "Historian's fallacy" – ”Because they were discussed separately before, then it’s only right for them to be discussed separately now.”
Comment: The "Faulty generalization" fallacy – ”Because all of those other exist, then this one must exist also.” Or, in plain English, we don’t have a List of fish rights advocates, List of people influenced by Jesus Christ, or List of anarchist engineers, either.
  • “this is certainly not just a diet, but an ideology and a movement”
Comment: Vegetarianism may be an ideology and a movement, but this AFD isn’t proposing to delete the articles on Vegetarianism, Veganism, and Pescetarianism. This AFD is proposing deletion of List of vegetarians, List of vegans, and List of pescetarians.
Comment: No, they don’t pass WP:LISTN because, with the exception of Encyclopedia Britannica, the rest are books about Vegetarianism -- not books about vegetarians. This AFD is about a List of vegetarians (and the other 2 lists in question). In case of the Britannica exception, the Britannica list is a list of 8 people not the 700+ people currently in the list being AFD’ed.
  • ”[And see also] WP:DELAFD which explains that "It can be disruptive to repeatedly nominate a page in the hope of getting a different outcome.”
Comment: No, WP:DELAFD doesn’t say just that, and the statement above was cherry-picked. What WP:DELAFD says is, “After a deletion debate concludes and there is no consensus or the consensus is in favor of keeping the page, users should allow a reasonable amount of time to pass before nominating the same page for deletion again, to give editors the time to improve the page….It can be disruptive to repeatedly nominate a page in the hope of getting a different outcome.” That’s what it says. As follow-up, some digging in shows that List of vegetarians was last AFD’ed on 2 April 2008, or, over 12 years ago. List of vegans was last AFD’ed on 31 August 2019, or, over a year ago, and List of pescetarians has never been AFD’ed before. The “reasonable amount of time to pass” requirement has been met in all three cases.
  • ”Even if there is good reason to delete the list of pescetarians (and I'm not saying that there is), that need not mean that there is good reason to delete the list of vegans.”
Comment: There is a good reason to delete all 3 because all three (1) lack encyclopedic value: there is nothing notable about a person being a vegetarian, (2) are trivial: there is nothing particularly notable about them as a group, other than they chose that lifestyle, (3) fail WP:N (think why we don't have a List of meat-eaters), (4) are lists that would serve a purpose if they were List of Vegetarianism activists, List of Veganism activists, and List of Pescetarianism activists, but not as a simple list of vegetarians; the list is useless other than as WP:PROMO advocacy, (5) there is no notability on being a vegetarian by itself, anymore than there is in being a biker-to-work life-style adopter, (6) the list falls under WP:IINFO, and (7) the list fails WP:NOTEVERYTHING because it has grown to just a list of people who are notable for something else, who also just happen to be vegetarians.
  • “it could be a reasonable navigational list.”
Comment: The "Appeal to probability" fallacy – ”Because it may be needed by someone at some point in the future, it should be kept.”
  • “An exception [to the claim that “The rationale in the deletion proposal, and most of the arguments for deletion, have nothing to do with the accepted reasons for deletion in Wikipedia's deletion policy”, would be] WP:NOTDIRECTORY…”
Comment: WP:NOTDIRECTORY sure is a valid criteria for deletion of a list, and does apply here because this loosely associated list of notable people have no other tie than they happened to pick the same life-style, religious-practice, etc. This is why we don't a have a list of notable people who are also boaters, List of boaters.
  • “The mainstream news media often and with regular frequency report on notable people who are no longer vegetarians. It is one of the ways dominant culture will use to try and best downplay significance of vegetarian movement…”
Comment: The "False dilemma" fallacy – “Because you are damned if you do [include a “list of former vegetarians”], and you are damned if you don’t [include it]”: if it’s not included, then those proposing the list be deleted are also labeled as being anti-vegetarian movement people for not reporting on those who abandoned the practice. So the mainstream media is to be blamed (just like those proposing the list be deleted) if they report (700+ times) on people who are vegetarians and it is also to be blamed if they report on people who are no longer vegetarians (aka, "have the cake and eat it too").
  • “The lists may amount to trivia but considering that Hitler makes an appearance I really don't think vegetarian advocacy is an accusation that holds water.”
Comment: The "Inappropriate generalization" fallacy – ”Because if someone as detestable as Hitler is included, then the lists couldn’t possibly be the work of vegetarian advocacy group.”
  • “The mistake here is to confuse veganism/vegetarianism or pescetarianism with "fringe" or crackpot ideas.”
Comment: This isn’t an assault on Veganism, Vegetarianism or Pescetarianism; this is an assault on List of vegetarians, List of vegans or List of pescetarians.
  • “There may indeed be grounds for improving the inclusion criteria, but that's an issue to discuss on the article talk page, not an AfD.”
Comment: No, this is not an issue for a Wikipedia:LOCALCONSENSUS because a major tenet of the Encyclopedia is being violated: namely, WP:LISTCRITERIA, prompts editors to ask:
  • “Would I expect to see this person on a list of [Vegetarians]?”
  • “Is this person a canonical example of some facet of [Vegetarianism]?”
Since these people wouldn’t be expected to be found in other publications for their Vegetarianism, but for their contributions under the “Occupation” column of the table, the guideline at WP:STANDALONE isn’t being followed. Likewise, since these people are not canonical examples of some facet of Vegetarianism, they don’t belong together in this list. In the sense that these individuals were grouped together into a list, without any other RS grouping them together into a list, the list is, in addition, a violation of WP:OR.
  • “a valuable list resource with long-time reader usage and interest.. I'm surprised that Wikipedia doesn't have a policy or guideline that once a page passes three deletion attempts that it is "safe" from further deletion discussion.”
Comment: “Valuable resource” isn’t an WP:inclusion criteria. Notability is. And, yes, there is a guideline regarding number of deletion attempts, it’s called WP:Consensus can change. Since WP:CCC, the number of deletion attempts is unlimited.
  • ”These lists do have encyclopedic value. Specifically, to people who are interested in the topics of vegetarianism, veganism and animal rights.”
Comment: Again, this AFD isn’t about vegetarianism, veganism and animal rights, but about people who follow that practice. This list is tantamount to a List of Trump supporters, List of Satan worshippers, etc.
  • “This is something notable about them”
Comment: Sure, being a vegetarians is something notable about them; that’s why their vegetarianism is discussed in their own articles. However, there is absolutely nothing to tie them as a group and thus nothing to bring them together into a list. This is why it’s called an indiscriminate list.

  • Comment: Bazinga! All your points are spot on! Most pertinent one, in my opinion: "as opposed to already being notable for something unrelated to vegetarianism (bluelinked)". Right, the people on these lists aren't notable for being vegetarians; they're notable for something else and their vegetarianism is trivia. If the list were only comprised of people who were notable for their vegetarianism, then that might be interesting to read. Normal Op (talk) 08:57, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • response to comment #1: Any issues with this page should be discussed on the talk page, not here.
  • response to comment #2: That would be an indiscriminate list which would violate Wikipedia's rules. This list does not.
  • response to comment #3: That list is just as notable as this list. Again, if the list should be limited, it should be discussed on the talk page. Why do people think AFDs can solve problems which can be solved with a discussion on the talk page?
  • response to comment #4: Again more false arguments, which all boil down to you not liking this page and the ones also connected to this faulty nomination.
  • response to comment #5: The point they are trying to say is that this topic is notable and they are right. Proof by example is not a Wikipedia rule and is a badly sourced article, so it does not apply here, with the talk page of that article questioning the article itself.
  • response to comment #6: A list like that, however, would likely become a battleground of sorts, violating WP:NOSALESMEN, saying "Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing. This applies to usernames, articles, draftspace, categories, files, talk page discussions, templates, and user pages." As such, a page like that would make no sense.
  • response to comment #7: Its good that no one has done a AFD on vegetarianism, but as I've said before, the issues raised in the AFD could discuss the issues on the talk page rather than a AFD. Having an AFD is just extreme.
  • response to comment #8: Specifically, WP:GNG says that "if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list," and this list fulfills that completely.

  • response to comment #10: I would say, actually, that talk page is the best place to discuss the issues, not here
  • response to comment #11: I was making the point that this topic is notable, by noting topics that are notable.
  • response to comment #12: Again, I was saying that this is topic is notable and countering what some said about vegetarians in this discussion.
  • response to comment #13: Once again, if there should be changes to the list, they should be proposed on the talk page, not in this AFD.
  • response to comment #14: In any case, AFDs for all those pages are unnecessary.
  • response to comment #15: If that is all true, then issuses should be discussed on the talk page.
  • response to comment #16: That rule is not valid here because this fulfills none of the seven listed on that page.
  • response to comment #17: Once again, that fallacy is not a WP rule, and they are rightly pointing out the notable of this topic.
  • response to comment #18: I don't think Hitler should be included, but that is an issue that should be discussed on the talk page.
  • response to comment #19: Perhaps, but admitting this is an "assault" on those pages makes it clear is a case of WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT clearly and a violation of WP:NPOV too.
  • response to comment #20: List improvements, again, should be disccused on the talk page. I stand by what I said, You can have consenus on a talk page. Who says you can't?
  • response to comment #21: Once again, those changes should be discussed on the talk page.
  • response to comment #22: Well, this deletion attempt is definitely worthless.
  • response to comment #23: It is about vegetarianism, veganism and animal rights because people are challenging the notability of the lists.
  • response to comment #24: I think its interesting you say that "being a vegetarians is something notable about them" but then you declare that the list is "indiscriminate" and imply they aren't notable? Those two statements don't even make sense together and, in fact, they contradict each other.
And finally, in response to Normal Op, as I've said before, if you wanted to make those changes to the list, why not have a discussion on the talk page about it? Why have a AFD? It makes no bloody sense. Also, in response to Rhododendrites: Yeah, it was a pretty bad argument by the person who supports this deletion attempt, all around. Then in response to Johnpacklambert, You are doing to have to provide some evidence of those claims, buddy. And as I've said before, this should be discussed on the talk page, not in an AFD.

@Historyday01: Because it isn't being discussed there; it's being discussed here. No AfD is going to stop mid-process just to a discuss the same thing somewhere else. If it were being discussed over there, I would go over there to discuss it. Logical common sense. Normal Op (talk) 04:28, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it should have been discussed there INSTEAD of having this AFD. That's my point. If the page doesn't end up being deleted, then I'd be glad to discuss the issues on that page. None of these list pages are perfect, but wanting to delete it is going to the extreme.Historyday01 (talk) 04:31, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
These huge lists of replies are not helpful. They do not facilitate conversation, and lend themselves to confusion and upset -- this sort of thing. Yes, there are plenty of problems with what Mercy11 has written. But it's going to be extremely difficult to point them out and start meaningful conversations about them -- as, I suspect, Mercy11 knows. Josh Milburn (talk) 09:41, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Paid article, and it shows it. First warning sign is the cute professional photo. Then looking at the text, the name of the product is used too much: once in each sentence-- an almost invariable promotional device. Going on to the references, 7 out of 10 references are from local sources discussing a local company; they even say that's why they're covering it. Two are from the company itself. The remaining one is a promotional interview in a trade paper, the very sort that is not accepted as independent according to WP:NCORP, and reading it, it's typical of such: the head of the firm says whatever he pleases about the virtues of his project and the future for it. And if we judge by common sense, rather than the GNG, this product is too minor to be worth encyclopedic coverage. DGG ( talk ) 00:21, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey KidAd, I wrote the article, and I do have a conflict of interest, which I tried to be very open about. The repetitive use of Dax's name wasn't for promotional purposes but to avoid using gender-specific pronouns- although now that you mention it I can see how it would look that way. I used the nicest photo of Dax that I had available, but I could switch it out if I need to. Quite a few of the news articles that cover Dax delivering are local (except for Katu News and Oregon Business, which are Oregon news companies), and that's because Dax is creating noise locally. I asked for a lot of input when I wrote the article in an effort to offset any natural bias, and used the Articles for Creation process, and I've tried really hard to be open and transparent. I'd appreciate any suggestions you have for making the article better, although I'm trying not to add more info directly to the article because of my aforementioned COI. Lizzythetech (talk) 16:41, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Lizzythetech it is not the purpose of wikipedia to help you "create noise" for your product, or spread knowledge of it beyond the single state. DGG ( talk ) 19:51, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DGG You're right: it certainly isn't the purpose of Wikipedia to advertise for anyone. Wikipedia exists to collect verified, noteworthy info that already exists, and make it more accessible to people. I meant that most of the news coverage on Dax so far is from around where Dax is doing deliveries because that's where people run into him (for now- Dax isn't just an Oregon robot, and he'll most likely be doing deliveries for companies out of state as well). Dax is one of the first operational delivery robots in existence, and one of the very few robots making deliveries for the general public. That seems noteworthy to me and worth learning about. Whatever the Wikipedia community decides I really do appreciate the help it's given me so far and the work it does for the larger community Lizzythetech (talk) 15:19, 25 September 2020 (UTC).[reply]
now you seem to be using this discusion page to continue your promotional effort. I suggest some other admin do a speedy delete, and perhaps a block. DGG ( talk ) 02:38, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Clearly there is consensus to not retain this article as it is. Nsk92 is willing to attempt a rewrite as a biography and there is some support for this so I will userfy to their userspace. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:06, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, once we get rid of the bad sources for human interest newsfluff, we are still left with human interest newsfluff. No matter how well this is is sourced, it ain’t gonna make its way into the next Britanica. Qwirkle (talk) 20:44, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That is my concern as well. Do the sources actually give us enough information to support a legitimate WP:BLP? In all honesty, the sum of the sources in the article and presented here tell us that he has two children, is a math teacher, and makes pancakes, but beyond that, is there anything substantive upon which to build a biography? --Kinu t/c 21:02, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
