Delete. Films are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they exist — they need to show markers of significance, such as major film awards and/or enough attention from film critics to clear WP:GNG. But there's no such claim being made here, this is written more like an advertisement for the film than a neutral encyclopedia article (conflict of interest likely, as the article was created by a user named "ImageEnt" and has subsequently been heavily edited by a user named "MattCampagna"), and even on a ProQuest search for decade-old coverage that might not have Googled, I still found only a bunch of smalltown community hyperlocals reprinting the exact same wire service article on the same day (thus combining into one data point, not several) and absolutely nothing from major media. That's not good enough. I should also note that both Matt and Jeff Campagna also had advertorialized autobiographical articles, with weak sourcing and no notability claim stronger than the existence of this film — see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Campagna (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeff Campagna.

List of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officers killed in the line of duty[edit]
Wikipedia is not a memorial site, nor does it publish lists based on non-encyclopaedic cross-categorisations such as "list of x who died in circumstance y". Much of this list lacks inline citations and is supported only by the three general references, two of which are unreliable self-published or user-generated sources and one of which is a primary source. There's no indication that the subject of this list "has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" as required by WP:LISTN. (Contested prod) – Arms & Hearts (talk) 22:31, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Subject fails WP:LISTN, WP:NLIST, and WP:LISTCRITERIA. That there are ROUTINE media reports about Sheriff's Deputies being killed on duty, not a single one of those slain is notable nor, does it seem, that there are sources that discuss this cohort as a phenomenon. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:00, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for reasons of WP not being a memorial site, and other reasons mentioned above. Balle010 (talk) 01:24, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTMEMORIAL and WP:NOTDIR. We should also consider similar natured articles such as: List of Baltimore Police Department officers killed in the line of duty, List of Philadelphia Police Department officers who died in the line of duty and List of Los Angeles Police Department officers killed in the line of duty. Ajf773 (talk) 02:42, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Batmanthe8th: If this discussion results in a consensus to delete I intend to look over the other similar lists and nominate those with similar issues (which I expect will be most of them, if not all). The category only contains five lists of this type though (this one, the three you listed, and List of Honolulu Police Department officers killed in the line of duty); most of the articles in the category are about individuals or their deaths. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 10:10, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Kind of sad to see these go, but if that's the consensus, it looks like we just have to follow that. Batmanthe8th (talk) 18:32, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's possible that some of the others might be better merged or dealt with through some other alternative to deletion. It's also possible that some of the others might, unlike this one, meet WP:LISTN. But I've yet to look at any of them in any depth so couldn't say one way or the other. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:15, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This clearly runs afoul of not memorial. At absolute best we can include the number on the article on the LA Sheriff's department, and maybe name any who have in any way received a little recognition (such as having a school named after them), there is no justification for this list.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:14, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete These were private individuals and I see no encyclopedic value in listing their names and causes of death on Wikipedia. The topic of officers getting killed in the line of duty can be covered in other appropriate articles. -kyykaarme (talk) 09:25, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Actually WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES#3 confirms that Secondary schools are no longer assumed as notable without refs, as per any WP:ORG. I would argue that the Chronicle article is WP:Basic enough to show notability of the schools origins - there is plenty more news stories, especially about poor attainment and being in requiring improvement since 2016 - WP:Before - I therefore would say Keep with work.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 14:52, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Agreed! An educational institute should not be deleted. - Ret.Prof (talk) 14:49, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Schools are not inherently notable. They need to pass GNG and Priyanjali singh such articles often get unnoticed, and "they do not pass notability". You should try WP:BEFORE regarding such schools, and if you find significant coverage, then source the article - otherwise get them AfDed. Wikipedia is not a directory. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES says it clearly that "At one time, secondary schools were assumed notable unless sources could not be found to prove existence, but following a February 2017 RFC, secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist, and are still subject to WP:N and WP:ORG.". Now that's 3 years before. A school, "secondary school" failing GNG doesn't deserve a place here. ─ The Aafī (talk) 04:26, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Article does not pass GNG or NORG. Sources in the article do not establish notability and BEFORE showed only routine, run of the mill coverage. Secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist. The Keep votes above simply state references exist, but fail to provide any at all, or explain why the school is notable. The lack of providing sources above shows the sources do not exist, if they did they would be listed especially if there were plenty as is claimed. // Timothy :: talk 00:20, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This entry came to GNIS from a philately journal, and while it's easy enough to verify that there was a 4th class post office at the camp for a couple years, that's all there is. GNIS has no idea where it is, and there's no evidence it was anything but a camp. Mangoe (talk) 20:17, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fourth-class post office were established at ranches, hotels, train stations, etc. Presence of one for a few years doesn't imply notability. I can't find anything else about the site.

Looking at that draft, I'm still heavily dubious about the article's notability. It seems like your typical WP:REFBOMB with trivial mentions and many listicles comprising their reception.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:17, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weren’t they considered as the seventh greatest video game villain of all time by IGN? The link of that 100 villain list I can’t seem to find now. Jhenderson777 14:22, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Somewhat misleading, since the video is about the game itself rather than specifically about the ghosts. Which lines up with what I said in the nomination about not needing a separate article. Also, as largely an interview it probably doesn't count towards notability as WP:PRIMARY.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:31, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Listicles shouldn’t be treated as not reliable or notable sources. Definitely when it comes to the “greatest” list. That is stupid if you don’t think they count on improving notability. Jhenderson777 14:45, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:Imperfect. Considered as iconic video game villains in many modern lists. Referenced in popular culture many times. Referenced by media outlets such as CNN and GameRant about their development etc. Overall characters that everyone has heard of in an iconic game. Jhenderson777 14:38, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:ITSPOPULAR. Do they have an iconic visual appearance? Yes, that is unquestionable. But are they individually notable as characters? There's plenty of trivial mentions but nothing that delves into a deep character study... because there is no character to study.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 16:07, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Are they notable for being characters, probably not. Are they notable for being icons and figures of gaming, yes. Is The Burger King notable for being a character or for his image? Characters can be iconic and notable for their image. (Oinkers42) (talk) 16:33, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now we are being nit picky on guidelines. I didn’t say anything about popularity outside of pop-culture. Also that guideline talks about the fallacy on not explaining why it’s popular.Jhenderson777 16:44, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speaking of fallacies:
Nowhere at WP:NOTABILITY, WP:GNG, or WP:NFICTION is it specified that a character has to have a fully three-dimensional fleshed out backstory to be notable.
Characters also don't have to have Batman-levels of iconic status, or some groundbreaking real world effect (such as curing cancer) to be considered notable. They do, however, need to be written from a real world perspective.
WP:GNG refers only to the sheer existence of coverage (see also - WP:DELREASON). Every deletion policy/guideline also specifies not to nominate articles based solely on the state of sourcing in the References section. Anyone who does this is essentially asking for a Procedural keep at this point. As recent nominations have indicated, the community is finally catching on to those.
Fiction-related topics are frequently nitpicked and held under a microscope (moreso than other topics), but I think that's enough fallacies busted for one comment. Darkknight2149 00:09, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - Redirect to the main article and build it up from there. It appears pretty much all the information on them could be easily slotted in there at the moment. Should it represent too much weight, it can then be split out at that time. Aside from a few minor adaptations, the ghosts have no character, personality, backstory, or any real information that warrants an article. For those particular appearances, the articles on the adaptations are sufficient to cover that context. TTN (talk) 17:25, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Let this page stay. While being the notable Pac-Man villains, the Ghosts deserve their own articles. Plus, @(Oinkers42): and @Jhenderson777: are right about their claims. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:27, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: In addition to the previously identified sources, I added a paragraph to the article from Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949-2003 (McFarland & Co, 2005), which discusses how the creators of the 1982 cartoon handled the problem of depicting the hero eating the ghosts.

Rated B class on the talk page by its own creator, this article is about a subject whose notability derives from her political campaign. Unfortunately she was unsuccessful so the article does not pass WP:NPOL. Mccapra (talk) 19:54, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being unsuccessful candidates for political office — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. But nothing else stated here is "inherently" notable enough to guarantee her an article independently of whether she won or lost as a political candidate, the depth and volume of referencing is not enough to demonstrate that her candidacy was uniquely more notable than other people's candidacies, and this is written more like somebody tried to convert her résumé into prose than like a neutral encyclopedia article.

Speedy Keep Meets GNG. The article was created by User:Shwetamits who is neither a paid or blocked user. "Couldn't find any sources" is curious when the article lists 25, and many more in search. It is possible there is COI editing by User:Archanahrdept (update: looks like no COI), but that is a matter of educating the user and checking the article is verifiable and not overly promo ie. unrelated to AfD.

Article does not meet WP:GNG, WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO. BEFORE showed routine, mill coverage for a normal government employee / political appointee. // Timothy :: talk 17:48, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NPOL (I guess). We have an article for her post—Inspector General of the Department of State. If the post is important enough to warrant an article, I'd say the person holding it is too. And I know notability isn't inherited, but isn't NPOL premised on the assumption that notability is inherited from certain prominent positions? Also, here's a capsule bio for some of her other achievements: [6]AleatoryPonderings (talk) 17:55, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The answer to the coffee question is always: yes. The answer to the substantive question is: NPOL is, IMO, rather an unusual standard. In my, admittedly limited, recent experience at AfD, it has been held to confer notability on officials largely independent of whether coverage that would meet GNG has been shown. Some examples I can think of offhand are Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chandra Kalindi Roy Henriksen, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/T. C. West, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A. D. Duffey. In the first instance, the position was not listed explicitly at NPOL; it was in the second and third cases. My thought on this AfD is that surely if we confer automatic notability on state legislators without any substantial degree of coverage or demonstrated legislative achievements, we should do the same for top-level civil servants in major government departments. An Inspector General of the Department of State meets that standard, in my view. Hence my !vote to keep. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 20:53, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be clear, NPOL is most certainly not predicated on the idea that some people inherit notability from a political position even if they don't actually have press coverage. In fact, NPOL-passing politicians always do have press coverage — we're not always on the ball about actually finding and using it to make all of our articles about NPOL-passing politicians good ones, but that's not the same thing as the coverage itself not even existing in the first place. So NPOL isn't so much a case of "some roles are so important that people who've held them are exempted from having to clear GNG at all" — it's "some roles are so important that people who've held them will literally always pass GNG even if Wikipedians have been lazy about actually finding and using all of their coverage, so don't waste everybody's time on articles that may be inadequate in their current form but are entirely repairable". But this isn't a role where the existence of GNG-worthy coverage is a foregone conclusion — it's a role where GNG-worthy coverage may or may not exist, so her includability depends on showing hard evidence that she passes GNG rather than just asserting that the role hands her an automatic inclusion freebie. Bearcat (talk) 01:16, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Bearcat: Fair enough, but what's the practical difference between (1) keeping an article on State Legislator X because they happen to be a state legislator and their notability is inherited from their position (i.e., the wrong view); and (2) keeping an article on State Legislator X because there is sure to be coverage about them (i.e., the right view)? The article is kept in both cases, and the same amount of coverage (i.e., 0) is actually shown. Most state legislators have far, far less influence on policymaking and the events of the day than inspectors general, and as a matter of fact there is not much coverage about the vast majority of them. By contrast, my search of ProQuest shows that Williams-Bridgers is discussed and quoted in the Washington Post, Chicago Sun-Times, and NYT [7]. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 00:27, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Most importantly, "quoted in" has absolutely nothing to do with notability at all — to assist in establishing a person's notability, sources have to represent that person being written or spoken about, in the third person, by people other than herself. Sources in which she's "quoted" as a giver of soundbite about a subject do not help to establish notability at all. And she also has to be a major subject of the source, not just have her existence namechecked in an article whose main subject is somebody or something else — so that New York Times link, which is primarily about Jean Kennedy Smith and just happens to glancingly mention Jacquelyn Williams-Bridgers' name a single time in the process of not being about Jacquelyn Williams-Bridgers, is doing absolutely nothing to help, and that's the only specific article you've actually named as evidence. Secondly, there's no such thing as a state legislator who can't show any press coverage at all. As a Canadian, admittedly, I devote a lot more time and attention to Canadian provincial and territorial MPPs — but they're never, ever unsourceable either, and I've never had any difficulty finding sources for an American state legislator when one's been on my plate (e.g. Wally Straughn, Corey Corbin). I know it's popular to dismiss US state legislators as uniquely unimportant, but they do get coverage whether you personally pay attention to it or not. Finally, please read WP:NEXIST. As nice as it would be if people always responded to a poorly sourced but improvable article by substancing and reffing it up to FA status right away, that's not a requirement of our process — if sufficient sources are shown to exist, and thus the article is improvable, then we no longer care whether actually getting the sources into the article takes five minutes or five years. Perhaps we should, but we don't. Bearcat (talk) 01:09, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Bearcat: Yes, I admit that NYT article was not very useful. (There are more, to which your objections probably still apply: [8]). Mainly I just find it incredible that a top civil servant at a major federal government department could not be considered notable. (I'd say André Marin, for instance, is roughly, roughly analogous in the Ontario context.) I know: this is probably just an WP:ITSNOTABLE claim, and the closer will likely disregard it. But there it is. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 01:53, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete just because we have an article on a post does not mean every person who held it was notable. No reading of politician notability would extend it to this post. The sourcing here is not enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:34, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless somebody can show much more evidence that she actually has significantly better sources than this. Just because we happen to have an article listing the past holders of a government bureaucratic job does not in and of itself confer an automatic notability freebie on every single person named in the list — if she were properly demonstrated to have enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG, that would be one thing, but the role isn't "inherently" notable enough to justify leaning almost entirely on her own employer's self-published content, along with just one news story about an incident that would just make her a WP:BLP1E if it's really all the media coverage she's got. Again: if she were much better referenced than this, then sure, but it's not such a vitally important role that she would be exempted from having to have better sources than this just because she held it. Bearcat (talk) 01:16, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with the last two delete voters. Although the position has an article about it that doesn't mean it's a guarantee that everyone who held it automatically gets a free pass when it comes to the notability standards.

Comment I haven't searched rigorously for sourcing myself (on mobile, might do it later), but the author of the article has a number of user boxes declaring their support for the party this person is involved with. I do not mean to imply that there is anything rising to a COI, I'm a member of a party myself and don't consider myself to have one, but it's possible that their view on whether the subject's high office within that party offers a route to notability might be somewhat clouded. I'd urge them to ensure that their arguments are well-grounded in specific policies or guidelines and supported by excellent sources, rather than assuring us that it's 'notable enough for them'. GirthSummit (blether) 18:43, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless the article actually sees improvement. Being leader of a minor political party without legislative representation is not an "inherently" notable role per WP:NPOL, so it does not singlehandedly exempt her from having to get over WP:GNG on her sourcing. But all we've got here so far is one primary source that she wrote herself, and the initial same-day blip of "party selects new leader" coverage, with not a single source dated either before or after March 1. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when there's much more substance that can be written about her, and much more sources that can be brought to bear — but this, as written, is not yet enough.

Delete There is no reason to treat leaders of parties with 0 seats as default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:56, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Soft Oppose - Coverage of Hunter does not seem to be overwhelming, but there is some coverage. There was some election coverage concerning her unsuccessful federal run (eg. [9], [10], & [11]. There is also some coverage of her leadership victory one of which is included in the article and others (eg. [12] & [13]). There are only two parties in Saskatchewan that are currently represented in the legislature. Based on the 2016 election results, the third largest party is the Saskatchewan Liberal Party, which received 3.59% of the vote (and no seats). The fourth largest is the Green Party of Saskatchewan, which received 1.83% of the vote (and no seats). While WP:OTHERSTUFF arguments are not determinative of anything, it is worth noting that both the current Liberal leader, Naveed Anwar, and the former leader, Darrin Lamoureux, have their own articles despite failing WP:NPOL. I am not sure whether the Green leader is notable enough for an article, but I would probably err on the side of caution this close to an election (one is required before October 26, 2020). If she is included in election debates, I think that would buttress her claim to notability.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 23:05, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Coverage of an unsuccessful candidacy for political office does not assist in bolstering a person's notability — every candidate in every election everywhere can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, but every candidate in every election everywhere is not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. To be encyclopedically notable just for being a candidate, a person has to either (a) pass another notability test completely independently of her candidacy, such that her failure to pass WP:NPOL is irrelevant because of her preexisting notability, or (b) show that her candidacy was so much more special than everybody else's candidacies, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance, such that she has a credible claim to being a special case of greater notability than most other unelected candidates. Simply being a candidate, however, is not a notability clincher, and neither is being the leader of a minor political party without legislative representation. Bearcat (talk) 00:45, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Coverage of a losing campaign can certainly add to WP:GNG. None of our policies say that we can't consider it, only that it may not on its own amount to notability. You say {tq|Simply being... the leader of a minor political party without legislative representation" is not a notability clincher. Perhaps, not but it is certainly a significant factor. The Greens are not just any other political party. While they do not have "legislative representation" in Saskatchewan they are the official opposition in PEI, are in a supply and confidence agreement with the government in British Columbia and have three elected MPs federally, one MPP in Ontario and two in New Brunswick (or did at dissolution). They also have elected councillors in Vancouver and Burnaby. Liberals Naveed Anwar and Darrin Lamoureux, who I mentioned above, have little notability except as unelected leaders of the Saskatchewan Liberal Party (which hasn't held a seat since 2003). If they are notable it is only because of the historical status of that party, or the Liberal brand federally and in other provinces. The Greens are a party which has been gaining significance federally and in many provinces. Neither you nor I know where they will be in ten years or how Naomi Hunter will be viewed at that time, but this regular "leader of minor political party without legislative representation" shtick is particularly unhelpful.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 18:15, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the minor political party argument is a bit of a red herring, considering that NPOL doesn't include any provisions for establishing notability on the basis of positions in party leadership. If additional coverage can't be found for Anwar or Lamoureux, those articles should probably be deleted too. signed, Rosguilltalk 18:24, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That seems to be a naive omission. But sure, if we are going to delete any unelected politician who has led a party (regardless of the significance of that party), let's at least be consistent. I have nominated Darrin Lamoureux and Naveed Anwar. Score one for the deletionists.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 19:06, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a book, not properly demonstrating enough reliable source coverage to pass WP:NBOOK. Two of the six footnotes here are primary source content from the author's own former employer, and two are Q&A interviews in which he's talking about himself in the first person on a limited circulation local-interest television talk show and a podcast, which means fully two thirds of the footnotes here are not notability-supporting sources. And of the just two acceptable third-party third-person media footnotes, one is a piece of "local guy does stuff" human interest coverage in his own local media market, which is not evidence of nationalized significance. So the only source that's actually starting to get somewhere is a capsule review in Kirkus Reviews, but that isn't enough coverage to singlehandedly get a book over the notability bar if it's the only source that's actually contributing any real notability points. Bearcat (talk) 16:52, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - There's also Publishers Weekly, it reached at least #14 on the NY Times bestseller list, and it's referred to in The Routledge Handbook of Language in Conflict, among other brief mentions in books published by reliable publishers. It's reviewed in some military journals/periodicals, but I'm not sure how independent they are of the military. Tiny review in the Washington Times, which, well, ain't the Post.

Church that fails WP:NBUILD (I don't think WP:NORG is relevant for this local church, but perhaps it is?). The Commons category suggests that it's a listed building, but it's not.

Keep, in fact pretty obviously. As for other church articles, the article should be understood to cover the Presbyterian church congregation, founded in 1860s, any original church building(s), the former church building which is historic and survives and is included in a local museum site, and the modern, current building. The article is separate from the manse building. It seems to me that having two articles here is right: one focused on just the manse building where Lucy Maud Montgomery lived and wrote, and another focused on the church and/or the larger museum site which includes the former manse and the former church building. The former church building is notable as "the church where Lucy Maud Montgomery's husband, the Reverend Ewan Macdonald, served as pastor from 1911-1926." This is enough to establish significance. There are sources about this, and some about the later, current church building and current congregation, and there are sources about the original founding of the church and so on. Perhaps three or even four articles could be justified, but I prefer just one focused on the manse which is the Canadian historic site, and one combining coverage on the church buildings and church as an organization and completing out coverage of the museum site (former church building, former manse, perhaps more). --Doncram (talk) 01:02, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep due to relation to historic building (Doncram's arguement)--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 21:42, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Epiphyllumlover and Doncram: As far as I can tell the only argument for notability of this building thus far provided is that it is "the church where Lucy Maud Montgomery's husband, the Reverend Ewan Macdonald, served as pastor from 1911-1926". If the government of Canada had wanted to list this building along with Leaskdale Manse, it surely could have. Similarly, it could have defined the historic site to include this church, which AFAICS it did not. So frankly I'm at a loss as to how this building, which is two degrees of remove away from Lucy Maude Montgomery herself, is notable by virtue of that tenuous association.

Article about a local/regional running competition, referenced entirely to directly affiliated organizations' self-published primary sources rather than any evidence of notability-building third party reliable source coverage about it in media. Something like this isn't "inherently" notable just because it exists, and isn't an event that can confer permanent encyclopedic notability on its winners under WP:ATHLETE -- so it isn't automatically entitled to have an article if it can't be sourced over WP:GNG on real media coverage.

WP:BLP of a musician, not reliably sourcing any serious claim to passing WP:NMUSIC -- the only notability claim even being attempted here is that he and his music exist, and all of it is referenced entirely to his own music's streaming pages on Spotify or SoundCloud. As always, however, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their music technically metaverifies its own existence -- the notability test requires distinctions, such as awards or charting hits, and it requires journalists to pay independent attention to his accomplishments in media. So no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he has a stronger notability claim and better sourcing for it, but he's not already entitled to have an article now just because Spotify proves that his songs exist.

Comment. The subject seems to have received the Bhatnagar prize for the paper Almost contact 5-manifolds are contact, which was published in the Annals of Mathematics in 2015. Although the Bhatnagar prize is awarded to people under 45, it doesn't appear to be at all an early career prize. (After all, the prestigious Fields medal is also restricted to under 40.) So this tends to suggest that WP:NPROF C2 is met. I'd normally expect to see a few more citations, even in a low citation field like mathematics (or otherwise a bit more evidence towards NPROF C1).

The Bhatnagar prize artcle says "In addition, recipients also receive Rs. 15,000 per month up to the age of 65 years", which is more impressive. Also mentioned at [26], and saying "They receive an award from the Prime Minister", which makes me think this article does have more merit... -Kj cheetham (talk) 07:55, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. WP:NPROF C2 is supposed to be a proxy for WP:NPROF C1, and there should be some other indications of progress towards that. Apart from the prize, it looks like a pure case of WP:TOOSOON. Since the recognition is only for the single paper, I'm very weakly arguing delete per WP:BLP1E, with shades of WP:TOOSOON.

Fails WP:NPOL and WP:BLP1E. This individual is not known for anything other than being elected mayor of a small city. Gary isn't a major city any more, and hasn't been for over 20 years. John from Idegon (talk) 15:06, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Chicago Tribune and AP News pieces are enough to satisfy WP:GNG. WP:BLP1E is a nonsensical policy to invoke here; how many U.S. senators or congresspeople are notable for anything other than being elected to the House/Senate? It is the notability of the office in question here. KidAdtalk 15:52, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Congresspeople do notable things in the House or Senate, such as passing national laws. The simple fact of being elected is not, in and of itself, the sum total of their notability. Bearcat (talk) 21:35, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, KidAd, that's it exactly. Gary has a population of ~80,000, and isn't even the major city in its county any more. John from Idegon (talk) 16:00, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - Gary probably hasn't been a "major city" in closer to 35 years...but for many, in the Midwest particularly, it looms large in the historical, sociological, and cultural memory. I think the bigger issue is that Prince hasn't had enough time to really accomplish much... Rereading NPOL and Common Outcomes, I think he passes. Caro7200 (talk) 20:05, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a city overshadowed by other cities around it, Chicago Tribune coverage is not enough because Gary is in its circulation area. There is just not the sourcing to show Prince is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:48, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Where can I find the policy that states reliable sources are negated based on their location? This is not a local blog. It is the Chicago Tribune. KidAdtalk 20:52, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Every mayor of everywhere is always simply expected to have some coverage in his own local media market, but not every mayor of everywhere is automatically accepted as notable, so a mayor has to show a lot more than just a small smattering of local coverage to clear the notability bar: nationalizing coverage, the ability to write a really substantial article about his political impact rather than just documenting the fact that he exists, and on and so forth.

Keep: My sense is like above, Prince has not had enough time to achieve anything. Saying Gary, Indiana is a small town with no relevance would put you in the sights of railfans. It is an important town from that point of view. --Whiteguru (talk) 12:59, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of mayors of Gary, Indiana. I don't see that he's achieved anything notable yet and to establish WP:NPOL, we expect both coverage outside of the region and outside of the election that indicates they are notable, coverage that I don't see. While Gary, Indiana was a prominent town, and may still be to railfans, the fact of the matter is that it isn't large enough to lend de facto notability to its present mayor (mayors in the past-- probably it does). Several of the !keep voters hit the nail on the head in saying that "Prince has not had enough time to achieve anything"-- he hasn't done enough to be notable yet. A redirect will allow ease of recreation if and perhaps when he does become notable. The AP article is good coverage, but I'd expect more in the same vein.

BLP1E. Basically, appeared in playboy, quit her job as a result & got a very short presenting gig as a result of the notoriety That's it. Its far too little information to base an article on and is a classic 1E SpartazHumbug! 21:39, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep First of all, it was certainly two reported events at the time of the nomination; appearing in Playboy and then the sideline reporter job for Rollergames. WP:BLP1E is not a valid excuse. I have added and sourced additional information about her later career as the first female Assistant Fire Chief in the fifth largest city in America. Trackinfo (talk) 07:19, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
First female assistant fire chief in the fifth largest city in the USA seems a stretch for notability though significant achievement, especially when the department has a female chief. Aside from that, this is a truly deceptive contribution with blatant refspamming in the article. Basically the sources about the subject are either non-independant or not reliable or both. The reliable sources are about the chief and any mention of the subject is a quote as an official spokesperson which adds nothing to notability. So basically, everything verifiable about her fire career is a primary source. Very poor. SpartazHumbug! 14:58, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The nomination could be regarded as a response to not reading the article in detail. Now you are being disingenuous in order to win a deletion. The Arizona Republic and KPNX are major news media in Phoenix, otherwise known as WP:RS. Note: KPNX was not the TV station she worked for early in her career and in that article she was acting as a fire department spokesperson. The City of Phoenix's own website and the Fire Department's website are not anything the subject controls. Plus she was (sourced) on the cover of Playboy, controversy reported by the Chicago Sun Times, Phoenix New Times and USA Today AND she was a lead personality on a nationally distributed television program as reported in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. So what exactly is non-reliable or primary? Trackinfo (talk) 15:38, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We already have lists of the cancelled and unreleased games. This goes beyond that into pure rumor, violating WP:NOTRUMOR. Also goes into WP:INDISCRIMINATE as just because anyone in their basement made up a hoax video game doesn't mean it's notable enough for Wikipedia. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:31, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"WP:NOTRUMOR" is inappropriate because the article does not list unverifiable information as it stands in "WP:NOTRUMOR". The article does not say that these games exist or not, this would be "WP:NOTRUMOR" because this is not verifiable, it only says that there are rumors about the existence of these games which is verifiable (see sources). "WP:INDISCRIMINATE" is very subjective in this context. I personally think that a list of rumored video games can be interesting for many people and can have added value, for example if someone wants to gather more information about these games to find out more about their possible existence.--User:Maxeto0910 14:53, 8 September 2020
The rumors may have been written about on some website, but by definition, a rumor cannot be truly verifiable. Otherwise, it would be confirmed and not a rumor.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:55, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It would be one thing to try to confirm something through rumors, and another to verify that it was a notable rumor/speculation. I believe rumors can be covered if it was more than just a rumor and the rumor itself has to be notable on its own. With that said, i don't believe it is a good idea to have a list of rumored video games. There are no well-known reliable sources used at all to verify these rumors, and the list is far too small to be considered a valid topic. So i recommend delete.BluePumpkinPieChatContribs 15:25, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - None of these supposed games are notable, save for Polybius which is already covered extensively in its own article.

Weak keep. I cannot find the list of unreleased video games mentioned by the OP, nor a list of cancelled video games?

@Piotrus: I'm against the idea of trying to spin this list into unreleased/cancelled video games. The big difference is that those lists would have to verify and confirm the video game was in the making, and that is not tangent to a list of video games that were notable for being speculation.BluePumpkinPieChatContribs 15:47, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Question The article is presenting "famous" video games from the 1980s and 90s etc.. that were rumored to exist but never released. As such, their notability is entirely in their lack of existence. They might even be called fictional games, or games that are famous/notable for never being released. Is this a correct understanding of the cultural phenomenon? Sort of like cryptozoology and List of cryptids. -- GreenC 14:12, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@GreenC: to be famous they had to be verified by strong reliable sources. which there are no reliable sources or impact that is verified. its a list of some rumors that were verified once from questionable sources. Polybius is the one and only game that is verified to being famous. Let's also not forget that the list is very short.BluePumpkinPieChatContribs 16:40, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is an old source. It demonstrates the topic of the list has been discussed for a while and can be sourced at the topic-level vs. individual games. -- GreenC 03:27, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@GreenC:The topic in the source provided isn't really talking about "rumored" video games, it's talking about confirmed and unreleased video games. The list in question is talking about a list of video games that were speculated to be in the works but had no official confirmation. I do think this list could exist but the evidence currently provided isn't good enough.BluePumpkinPieChatContribs 15:47, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An enormous amount of people in history have married their cousins, its not worth listing people after.

Agricolae (talk) 02:26, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP but reform. A list of coupled cousins is of sociological and psychological interest. People, after all, become involved with persons they know, and it may be of interest why a fair number of notable persons have preferred involvement with a more or less close relative. For many cases involving royalty and aristocracy, where a principal consideration may be merely the consolidation of political power, I would set up a separate list of "coupled royal and aristocrat cousins", with provision for discussion of appropriate notability criteria for inclusion. And, of course, all retained couples, whether commoner or aristocrat, should be documented with reliable sources. Nihil novi (talk) 03:49, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with Nihil that some sort of list would be appropriate (but not this one). First I would restrict it to first cousins and to formal relationships (marriage, civil union/partnership). I live in a country where cousin marriage is no big deal but I see the US has got itself into a considerable tangle: Cousin marriage#United States and Cousin marriage law in the United States so the matter is certainly noteworthy. The thought of same-sex marriages crosses my mind but I'll let that pass. So, we should keep the article and let the talk page be used to sort out scope and, probably, article title. Thincat (talk) 09:28, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I just can't see how a list like this would teach people about the controversy over cousin marriage better than a prose article would.

First cousin marriage is a big deal in some places yes, I don't see how a list of random people trought history depicts that well. It would be better to create Cousin marriage in ____ to cover that instead. Even if only a list of first cousins it would become unmanageably long.★Trekker (talk) 12:11, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily "unmanageably long", if it is kept to notable persons. The article's "Notable people" section, containing some very notable and interesting persons, even after all these years is of modest length. Nihil novi (talk) 15:33, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Of course it would only be kept to notable people. It will still be unmanageably long. The only reason its "modest" as of now is that's it's laughably incomplete. In a lot of human history marrying your first cousin was not noteworty and most of these people never had it commented on during their lifetime, it's not good to list people after something which was not a defining part of their notability.★Trekker (talk) 16:24, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did not suggest creating other lists, I want prose articles.

delete Yeah, having a lists of owners of a particular car model was a bad idea too, whose time has now gone. The message of this long list is that this degree of consanguinity was either unremarkable or was a weak enough taboo to be easily defied, or was even expected practice among certain elites. All this says, "not notable." Mangoe (talk) 19:29, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete considering that we are including third cousins this is just absurd. If it was limited to actual first counsins it might almost be worth noting, but even a very avid tracer of family history like myself has no clue who their third cousins are.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:38, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (renamed) but heavily purge. Cousin marriage is not all that unusual, though slightly frowned upon. This list should be limited to First cousin marriages. Indeed in parts of south Asia cousin marriage may even be the norm, aimed at preventing the fragmentation of family property. The Catholic church formerly sought to prevent consanguinity within the fourth degree, meaning that royalty frequently had to ask for a dispensation to marry.

Keep, but ONLY close relations, maybe just first cousins. "Alphonso Taft and his fourth cousin twice removed" is ridiculous. Also remove "romantically coupled". Clarityfiend (talk) 22:39, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Just an observation, but I think there is a general leaning to keep, as long as the page is restricted to first cousins, otherwise the pages's covereage is sort of infintite and not very meaningful. Deathlibrarian (talk) 06:29, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I have reviewed the last 4 years' activity on List of coupled cousins since 10 September 2016. I found that virtually all the activity during that period was in the "Royalty in Europe" section. This confirms two of my impressions: that the "Notable people" section has not become excessively long and shows little prospect of becoming so; and that the article would definitely become more manageable – and, I believe, more interesting – as a whole If the massive "royalty" and "aristocracy" sections were spun off as their own articles. Nihil novi (talk) 07:24, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP but reform - I don't feel strongly either way, but I definitely do not have an argument for keeping the article the way it is. If the article is to be kept, I fully support posting some strict inclusion criteria, such as only including marriages between first cousins (as Thincat suggested) and that a listing must have a citation. I think it would then be appropriate to retitle as First cousin marriages as Peterkingiron suggested. Those all seem like reasonable criteria, which would call for purging parts of this list that make it too long. If keeping this list, I would support moving the royalty and aristocracy lists into (a) separate list(s) (as Nihil novi suggested) referenced in this one. Having said all that, I'm not a strong opponent to deleting this article either, given the limited appeal to basic curiosity and historic interest it offers. -Dugan Murphy (talk) 15:28, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:DELREASON#14: Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia. WP:Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and Wikipedia is WP:NOTGENEALOGY. I agree with the nominator that this is not notable or helpful as a list. This is pure WP:LISTCRUFT. The leap from cousin marriage being a notable topic which is appropriate for an article to List of coupled cousins (which includes multiple instances of "sixth cousins once removed", one instance of "eighth cousin thrice removed", and one instance of "tenth cousin once removed") being appropriate is kind of like saying that because climate of London is a valid article, so is list of rainy days in London. Some people above have argued that it should be kept but changed to such an extent that it would basically be unrecognizable compared to its current form. To that I say that even if consensus determines that we should have some kind of heavily modified version of this list, WP:TNT applies and it should still be deleted.

Further comment: It appears that the greatest exception is taken to this list article's "royalty" and "aristocracy" sections. Therefore, improvements being allowed during "article for deletion" discussions, I propose within the next few days to improve this article by deleting those objectionable sections. Should any among the largely (at least, within the last 4 years) nameless, numbered editors who have worked on them wish to set those sections up as a separate article or articles, they are, so far as I am concerned, welcome to do so.
Keep but Reform make it a list of a notable, royal and aristocratic individuals who married their first, or maybe even second, cousins. List individuals who married their "fourth cousin twice removed" or "sixth cousin" seems absurd. --Richiepip (talk) 18:13, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This page should be deleted as an attack page. The page seems to exist primarily to disparage Islam in Pakistan, and contains material that is entirely negative in tone. It is superficially well-sourced; but much of the material appears to have been selectively harvested from other Wikipedia pages - this is shown by reference names (ref name=), access dates, and that some of the URLs are dead. If the creator had looked at the URLs he/she would have seen that they were dead and either not used them, or used a web archive to find the contents.
The real subject of this article is forced conversion to Islam in Pakistan. Other articles already cover this topic from a neutral point of view (e.g Religious Minorities in Pakistan and Hinduism in Pakistan).
The logs show that pages called Forced conversion to Islam in Pakistan were deleted on 28 November 2019 and 5 June 2020.

Delete and focus on Draft:Forced conversion to Islam in Pakistan This page (just like the version deleted as attack page earlier) involves violation of NPOV, WP:OR and misrepresents sources. There is consensus to create a Forced conversion to Islam in Pakistan per DRV held here and the draft is already ready at Draft:Forced conversion to Islam in Pakistan.

Delete: The nomination is that this is an attack page. Research shows there is a lot of supporting data. My take on this is that a lot of vague, instantiation of cherrypicking has been placed in this page. There is no thesis-antithesis of for and against in the article, it is all cherrypicking the awful outcomes of forced conversions. Research shows that there are many organisations at the forefront of this fighting this very issue, keeping it in the eyes of the world media, keeping the call to toleration of minorities in Pakistan at the forefront. While the article talks about a bill directed towards minorities it does not do any more than that. Off with the cherrypicking. --Whiteguru (talk) 10:53, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
cherrypicking the awful outcomes of forced conversions Is there even a happy outcome for a forced conversion? What kind of a NPOV end result are you looking for? I still don't get the attack page argument. A lot of editors feel, very strongly, that any picture of Mohammad in his biography disparages Islam. As for an article detailing the human rights situation of a vulnerable minority, I'm sure the world's largest religion can handle a bit of critical coverage of the actions of some of its adherents.--Pudeo (talk) 19:27, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The editor who wrote the article just copied many of the citations from other articles - he/she almost never bothered to read the stuff he/she was citing. He partially admitted it here.[33]
Delete 99% of the sources in the article seem to about single events that are connected in the Wikipedia article, but not necessarily in the sources themselves. For instance a shop keeper that made his employees convert to Islam after sales at his store declined. Which isn't really a "Pakistan" thing per say though or even anything having to do with a broad overview of religious conversation. Which is what Wikipedia is suppose to be about. As such, I'd consider this article similar to ones having to "Mass protests in Latin America" and similar ones that used barely related things to argue they were all connected and influenced each other. If I'm remembering correctly all those articles where deleted. Unlike those articles, this ones uses references that even say themselves are speculative when it comes to forced conversations and even the subject of the articles. For instance "25 Hindu girls abducted every month, claims HRCP official." Also, some of the references say forced conversation (or even conversation) isn't even a thing "Hindu Girls Were Not Forcibly Converted To Islam, Says Pak Court" and " "Hindu sisters not forcibly converted, allowed to live with husbands: Pakistan court." A lot of the sources are primary also. Ultimately, this article seems more like a personal essay that's all over the place and draws vague conclusions that could apply to anywhere and anything, more then the article is neutral encyclopedic overview of either religious conversation. Let alone religious conversation in Pakistan. At the minimum TNT should apply, but clearly should still be deleted on other grounds. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:59, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (or redirect/merge to Religion in Pakistan).

Doubtless there are forced religious conversions in Pakistan but the causes and consequences of those are better covered in the Religion in Pakistan page where they can be properly contextualized.

Delete. I'm glad to see the article creator posting here with a keep rationale. This is a first article, drafted at Draft:Byron Giles, and clearly represents good faith and hard work at satisfying our requirements and formatting conventions. Unfortunately, I cannot substantiate any possible claims that would satisfy the notability requirement. Giles does not appear to have received sufficient coverage in independent reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guideline. His military service, while clearly commendable, was not distinguished by promotion to a superior rank sufficient to merit an article under the relevant special criteria, and the U.S. Armed Forces classify the Army Meritorious Service Medal as a junior-grade award, so that criterion is not met. I looked for evidence of his having played professional basketball in Mexico as the article states, and all I was able to find was two short videos on his own YouTube channel, apparently taken from a TV broadcast (the first is here but that link may have to be removed as a copyright violation). The college affiliations given for two of the players, including Giles, and the "All-Star" legend for one team that I seem to glimpse when the score flashes on the screen suggest that this was an exhibition game against a Mexican pro team. Unless other documentation can be found for his playing organized pro ball, I don't think this rises to that level; in any case, the applicable special notability guideline does not appear to list a Mexican league among the basketball leagues where one appearance constitutes sufficient evidence of notability. If this was a tour that was written up in the papers, where the visitors played several games against top teams, or if he was indeed hired by a Mexican pro team, that might be enough for him to squeak by under general notability; but I didn't find any such coverage. What I did find that is not in the article is that he has founded a company, CertificationPoint; CrunchBase biography. But that hasn't made much of a splash either. So I'm sorry, I must advocate for the deletion of this biography. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:59, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment More information added to article to help with notability added.

I looked through the conversations concerning criteria and what could be added is that basketball in more of a worldwide sport as it ever was. Mexico and other Latin affiliated leagues really deserved more attention especially when we recall the Olympics in 2004 when Team Puerto Rico beat Team USA in basketball, a team, which consisted primarily of NBA All Stars. It was called a major upset but as we see now the rest of the world has made up significant ground.

Comment. I'm puzzled by the material that's been added to support his having played professional basketball. The Latin Basket page has him listed at the top just as a college player (I presume regarding his draft eligibility that 2096 is a typo for 1996), while the Year-by-Year Career section below does also have a line for Mexico but doesn't give a team name, just "Pacifico". I presume this is the "Liga Mayor-Pacifico" to which the article now refers, but I can't find that former league mentioned anywhere (I keep just getting the baseball league, Liga Mexicana del Pacifico), and the Jalisco team now in the Circuito de Baloncesto de la Costa del Pacifico, Gigantes de Jalisco [es], were Frayles de Guasave until 2019. Is there a full team name that can be searched in the newspapers? (And what's MIAA in the Latin Basket URL, by the way, sorry, I'm grasping for things to search.) Is that Latin Basket site a reliable source, by the way? I keep hoping someone from the Basketball WikiProject will come by and help with sources. In any case, though, as you say, the league is not listed as one of those where playing confers a presumption of notability. If you want to get that changed, User:Carla2022, I think the place to start asking is that WikiProject's talk page. Yngvadottir (talk) 01:11, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
CommentYngvadottir much thanks for chiming in with assistance and feedback. Just to clarify, were you stating that Gigantes de Jalisco [es] was actually Frayles de Guasave until 2019. I'm not sure that's accurate as it looks as if Gigantes de Jalisco [es] and Frayles de Guasave are two separate teams. By the way the new league Circuito de Baloncesto de la Costa del Pacifico which Jalisco is part of was passed notabilty as a league and Frayles de Guasave passed notability as a team. Here's a photo Pro Basketball-Mexico photo with jersey. I understand your views as this is was before social media with limited archives and microfilm and also just how information can get buried in time. Probably similar to the Negro leagues and having to confirm and document records and statistics and having a limited number of photos. Could be easier to obtain newspaper articles and such from the subject about basketball in Mexico as there are probably not the level of archives in Mexico that there are in the US??? The LatinBasket website lists all players and seems to be categorized by the college a US player attended. Not really sure about how the foreign players who are listed get categorized and it seems to be a sister site of EuroBasket website. Carla2022 (talk) 2:20, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Bagumba I know I mentioned that I had more to add more later but rather writing a lot of words which may not taken into account I did some research and at the bottom of the draft were those related articles and there were quite of few professional basketball players from Mexican leagues and other leagues not on the suggested list....possibly hundreds of articles. Are we saying historical players are non-notable because they are ‘old and crusty’...(adding some humor)? Should subject be knocked down for not staying on the professional basketball route and serving his country admirably? Here are a few articles to consider which are in the same category which are strikingly similar. Maybe we could ping the creator and approvers of the articles below and many others for guidance?
Comment Unfortunately, neither the NCAA Division II nor the CIMEBA constitute as a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level so he does not pass WP:ATHLETE or WP:NBASKETBALL. At a quick glance, the difference between Giles' Wikipedia page and the pages of the other three basketball players mentioned above is that they have articles written about them in independent sources that go towards WP:GNG[40][41][42]. For Giles to pass WP:GNG, there has to be significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. There are fives sources in the article as of now, and none of them goes towards WP:GNG.
1 is a media guide from a primary source that lists his name twice.
In it's current state, the article simply does not pass WP:GNG. Alvaldi (talk) 10:59, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
CommentAlvaldi Thanks for assisting in helping with the article and the additional clarification for WP:GNG to help me along in this process. I guess the fortunate part about NCAA Division II nor the CIMEBA being in the listing on the guidance is that exceptions are being made which is awesome. I may be able to obtain print article sources from Mexico newspapers which should help with the updates being added but only thing these articles are not available online at this point. Any help from the group here at wikipedia would be appreciated. Carla2022 (talk) 5:47, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
@Carla2022: A basketball player does not have to participate in a major international amateur or professional competition (such as the NBA, EuroLeague, FIBA World Cup and the Olympics) to have an Wikipedia page, he or she merely has to pass WP:GNG. A player who has participated in major competitions is presumed notable and is usually given a bit more slack regarding sources BUT if it can been shown that he does not pass WP:GNG, his article would be deleted. In Giles' case, his Wikipedia page needs multiple articles which feature him significantly. It cannot be passing mentions, such as a game report that only mentions he scored x points in the game. If I use Zena Edosomwan, who also has played in Mexico, as an example, this article covering him is a significant coverage while this article is a passing mention. Alvaldi (talk) 11:40, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Alvaldi: Thanks for helping to find the appropriate filing for my article. Seems like it would fit under WP:BASIC due to the aggregate of various articles over time. Last question: In regards to basketball player, What are your thoughts on -> [43] with regards to notability...just trying to clarify where the pass/fail line is for passing mention. Carla2022 (talk) 14:07, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Carla2022: In its current state the Che' Jones page fails WP:GNG as the sources are not secondary sources[44], don't feature him, not indepth enough or are passing mentions. However, there are some newspaper articles on the internet that can be used to improve it, for example this one in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. I didn't look deep into it on Google, if there are more articles like that then the page can be improved to pass WP:GNG but if that is the only indepth article out there about him, then I would say Jones' WP article qualifies for deletion. Alvaldi (talk) 16:23, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not meet WP:NSPORT, which doesn't presume notability just for having played in college or playing in any pro league. They must meet specific criteria, like specific leagues or earning specific honors. No evidence that WP:GNG is met.—Bagumba (talk) 13:05, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thanks for the additional clarification for WP:NSPORT as it relates to WP:GNG.

I proposed this for deletion with the following reasons:
"Where to start?
The name of the ground is "Donkerelaan", not "Donkere Laan"
"The first and to date only recorded match?" Many matches have been played here, as it is the grounds of CC Bloemendaal, a Dutch 2nd division ("Hoofdklasse") team (the club in total has some 200 members).
It is basically a lawn with on one side a smallish (but nice) pavillion, and no stands.
At best this should be a redirect to the club, but since that doesn't have an article, there is no reason to have a separate article for the grounds."
The article has been moved, the other three reasons are still as valid as when it was proposed. This is not some cricket ground "established in 2003" with "only one recorded match".
Basically, a non notable cricket ground where much of the information in the article is incorrect. The second part can be corrected, the first part can't. Fram (talk) 08:43, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not really. Redirecting something which has a common function (grounds of cricket team Bloemendaal) to a list about something that happened once and got little attention (the ground being used for that game) seems like a redirect version of WP:UNDUE. Fram (talk) 10:12, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's a plausible search-term. And if it has a common function, that would suggest more info could be found to infact keep the article. LugnutsFire Walk with Me 10:32, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's a much more logical merge target, thanks. (That page needs work as well, e.g. Sportpark Het Schootsveld doesn't have stands, never mind a 15,000 capacity, but that's not important for this AfD). Fram (talk) 12:42, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is an odd little article. As far as I can discern from the tiny number of Google hits for "canopy express", this was a term briefly and occasionally used pre World War II, which is being applied to modern vehicles in the article through pure WP:OR. I can't verify more than that because there are under 100 GHits, including unrelated results, most of which consist of sales listings or (as per this article's sourcing) personal web pages. It seems to be a thing, but only in as much as it's an idiosyncratic term for something that probably has another name. Guy (help! - typo?) 07:45, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I could not find reliable and significant media coverage for him as a musician or for any of his own albums and songs, and those are only present in the usual streaming and self-promotional services. The article's lengthy Discography section lists a lot of works by other people in which he made a guest appearance or co-wrote a song, and that list is a rather desperate attempt at notability by association. What the article calls his works as an "author" or "co-author" are actually songwriting credits, for which he does have some basic listings in various sources, though these are songs by other people and he can be listed briefly as the co-writer in their articles. ––DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:09, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article doesn't appear to satisfy the criteria of WP:NFILM. It seems to solely rely on the Library of Congress reference, which doesn't confer automatic notability. The other reference is merely a mention in passing. The external links are to IMDb (which is not an acceptable or reliable source) and a video (which is also not an acceptable source).

Redirect to Billy_Eckstine#Career. I've merged the pertinent info about this, namely that Eckstine starred in the movie, to his article. I can't find much and what I do find is limited to just saying that he was in this movie. This is probably partially fueled by the fact that this was a short film. In any case, a redirect to the artist's article would likely be best and would give anyone looking for this all the info that seems to exist in currently discoverable RS.

This was a longstanding redirect pointing to Car battery, although the current article makes no mention of the subject. Neither of the articles currently listed meet WP:DABMENTION, leaving us with no use for the disambiguation page. There are a few scattered uses of the phrase on Wikipedia, mostly in articles about cellphone models, but none of those appear to be appropriate to include here. As the phrase isn't mentioned at the prior redirect target either, deletion is more appropriate than simply restoring the redirect. signed, Rosguilltalk 01:50, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

delete This is a bi-agency cock-up which is only fully apparent when you go back to the nautical chart from which the entry came. That chart shows the name "DeWitt" at an intersection a bit north of the location given in the article (which is roughly that of Ignacio, which is a rail yard incidentally, not a settlement), but by the time that chart edition was published the intersection had been wiped out in favor of an excessively complicated freeway interchange. If you look at that spot, it was never anything like a settlement, at least as the topos show. I have no idea where NOAA got the name "DeWitt" but it doesn't appear on the USGS maps until it was reentered from GNIS— at the wrong location. In short, it's a totally spurious product of bad mapping and needs to just go away. Mangoe (talk) 14:58, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Existence is not notability. This is a short, generic segment of elevated road with no significant coverage about it; there are probably tens of thousands of such unremarkable bridges in the US, with off-the-shelf infrastructure design. Reywas92Talk 09:20, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DiCara is an unsuccessful political candidate and an attorney. The article seems more like a CV. I can’t find third-party sources discussing him, only op-eds or other pieces that he has written, or passing mentions. Nevertheless, he has authored a book about an important time in history, so I can see potentially keeping him due to that. I’m also unfamiliar with his stature in Boston, so I’m hoping other editors who may be more familiar with his importance can provide references or other reasons to keep him. LovelyLillith (talk) 16:42, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment calling him an "unsuccessful political candidate" isn't quite correct, he was on the Boston City Council for 8 years. That isn't enough on its own to meet WP:NPOL though. power~enwiki (π, ν) 23:21, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete city council members are generally not default notable, the sourcing is not enough to show notability otherwise.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:05, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Boston is one of those cities where a councilmember may be notable if there is sufficient information available about the subject. In this case, we are looking at a subject who served in the pre-Internet age, but the subject remains used as political commentator in the news in 2020. --Enos733 (talk) 20:39, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Boston is one of those internationally prominent global cities where we do typically accept that city councillors can be notable enough for Wikipedia, as a rule — I'll grant that the coverage present in the current version of the article doesn't exactly add up to enough, but the problem is that since his primary term in office was 1972-81, any additional sourcing won't necessarily Google and will instead have to be retrieved from news archives. So I checked newspapers.com and got 2,028 hits, which is more than enough. As always, we do not have any rule that our sources always have to be web-published contemporary news coverage — we are allowed to cite print-only sources, such as pre-internet newspapers and books, so topics whose preponderance of coverage would have been 40 or 50 years ago rather than last week are not prevented from being in Wikipedia just because their names don't Google well.

The result was delete. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:33, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The same reasons to delete exist as the last time this page was nominated over a decade ago; the family itself is non-notable outside of having multiple members who are notable. The article contains no information about the family that cannot be found on each individual's page, and the article at present contains so little information that I suspect almost all information can be found on every one of their pages. There exist no suitable sources that I could find that would meet even the barest notability requirements for this article. The page exists as nothing more than a directory, and it hasn't even the complexity of the Barrymores or the Coppolas to merit keeping for the tree alone (the list of now–ex-partners is hardly even meritous enough to keep itself, let alone enough as reason to keep the article).
I suspect that the previous "keep" verdict was the result of a different era's attitude toward Wikipedia, with a fear of losing directories, lists and pages that feel notable. While once a valid attitude—most notable pages had a meager start after all—this page has had plenty long enough to have been expanded by any source at all, and has sat all but empty the whole time. — Hazzzzzz12 (talk) 00:45, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The fact that this article survived a deletion attempt in 2007 is an attestation to how totally non-existent notability standards were done. There is no sourcing here to show these people are notable as a group or add up to creating a notable group.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:49, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and John Pack Lambert. Notability standards were much different back in 2007. Time has passed since then, and under the current notability rules this family is not notable. Its members are notable individually, but that's it. There is a huwiki version of this, but that's just a plain family tree with no other text whatsoever. I nominated that to deletion as well. Wikipedia is not the place for unsourced family trees. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 09:45, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, article essentially functions as an unreferenced list of individual family members, and there are not enough notable family members for this to be a useful list. Devonian Wombat (talk) 02:10, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn't be a problem finding secondary sources on Jigme Rinpoche. He's a significant influence to the Karma Kagyu lineage. I'll appreciate any and all help on this. Thanks! Badabara (talk) 15:52, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, I did my a bit of my own research to be sure and I would tend to agree with notion to delete the page. Although in real life he is a significant teacher in the Karma Kagyu lineage, by basic Wikipedia criteria he is not a notable person. He greatest notoriety is by association to the 16th Karmapa, which Wikipedia specifically calls out as not warranting an individual their own page--I wish I could disagree (he is also the brother of another significant lama, the 14th Sharmapa and was a witness to the Karmapa Controversy. He is also an author of several Buddhist books--is that significant?). However, much of this page could be moved onto the Karma Kagyu page under a new section--something to the effect of "Current lineage holders". I would be happy to help make that happen. A Wikipedia location for this information will be a needed for reference for coming additions to the 16th Karmapa and Karmapa Controversy pages. Anotherpinkfloydinthewall (talk) 18:44, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Anotherpinkfloydinthewall wouldn't your idea require finding all pages of high lamas/rinpoches from all Tibetan Buddhist schools, deleting their respective pages, and adding them to various lineage pages? Quite a task. The topic at hand is "effective referencing".Badabara (talk) 02:32, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Let’s leave this page alone for the time being and create a “Current lineage masters” on the Karma Kagyu page. When both exist we can see what’s most appropriate (as people fill out this page). We don’t have significant meat on many members of the lineage, but the fact of the matter is that a lineage IS the people—they aren’t two distinct entities. That information absolutely needs a place to live. Anotherpinkfloydinthewall (talk) 12:59, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that the criteria for an individual's page has been reasonably met here. It feels like it would add confusion to establish it as simply an adjunct to the 16th Karmapa or Karmapa controversy areas. spaceis411

Comment The reason it has been open for two weeks is because an admin has looked at the article and found it wanting. Most of the references are self-published. The ones that have been added are profile pages, they aren't under editorial control or peer reviewed and are probably invalid per WP:NOT. There is no real secondary sources, that are independent, in-depth and reliable. The only reason I didn't comment up until today as I saw an article in The Times about Akong Rinpoche and thought their might be some link to it here, but not found anything. There is a good para in one book, but its not-independent. It don't believe at this time, that Jigme Rinpoche is notable. It doesn't satisfy WP:BLPSOURCESscope_creepTalk 08:42, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I respectfully disagree. If you look at the significant sources, they are not profile pages. The following books are not self-published, and are independent of the subject (books on the history of Buddhism, aside from "Heart Advice" which is Buddhist teachings), and reliable:
Rinpoche, Gendun (2010). Heart Advice from a Mahamudra Master. Norbu Verlag
Douglas, Nik (1976). Karmapa: The Black Hat Lama of Tibet. Luzac; First Edition edition (1976). ISBN 0718901878.
Bausch, Gerd, "Radiant Compassion, The Life of the 16th Gyalway Karmapa, Volume 1." 2018 pp. 97-99
The following articles are not self-published, and are independent, and reliable:
Valentine, Glen (16 January 2018). Buddhist World. Scientific e-Resources, 2018. p. 271. ISBN 978-1839473623.
Campergue, Cecile (November 23, 2015). "Gifts and the Selfless Work Ethic in Tibetan Buddhist Centres in France". Religion Compass. 9 (11): 443–461.
Jigme Rinpoche was sent to Europe by the 16th Karmapa to build Buddhism. Though he may not have been controversial and loud, such as Chögyam Trungpa (he's a monk after all and kept his vows), he probably did more to preserve and carry on the work, and didn't go down in flames. His European seat is still intact. The number of Stupas and retreat centers and city centers that have been build under his guidance is quite large. I think this humble man deserves a page to be developed - it's just a stub page and will require more work. My 2 cents Badabara (talk) 15:17, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Seems like a WP:HEY has been attempted, and definitely looks good IMO. Also, acknowledging the above links from AleatoryPonderings. I have a somewhat related question -- I see that Lama Jigme Rinpoche redirects to this page. Shouldn't it be the other way around? My vote as a part of this AfD process is to swap the content. The content on this page needs to be housed at Lama Jigme Rinpoche and this article i.e. Jigme (Kagyu lama) can redirect there as needed. Ktin (talk) 05:02, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Ktin, I agree and brought up the same question on the talk page. He is referred to as Lama Jigme Rinpoche in press, articles and books.Badabara (talk) 18:48, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Badabara, I think I understand now. Perhaps Rinpoche is considered a honorific, and hence is not a part of the article title. That said, I do know of a few articles with a honorific in the title. But, I guess it is good to leave as-is based on that. Ktin (talk) 04:02, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Right. Though it seems there are many exceptions... check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rinpoches. I'm wondering if in some cases it's honorific AND recognizable name. For example Dalai Lama is Dalai Lama not Dalai. Lama is also honorific. In this particular case Jigme (Kagyu Lama) is less recognizable, and "Lama" is also honorific... So why not make an exception for Jigme Rinpoche for the sake of clarity? Make sense? Is there a guideline for this? Thanks Badabara (talk) 05:55, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
