Delete: While I would like to see increased coverage of the emerging and disappearing networks of art groups, I don't see the coverage to sustain the present article. There's a lack of references regarding the initial project under this name, a lot of rather personal description of the middle period, again lacking evidence of notability. That leaves the final phase of the 1990s art space.: it did get passing mentions in event reviews and a retrospective brief mention in the 2003 piece about another event. I am not seeing evidence of attained notabiility in any of its phases of activity. AllyD (talk) 08:19, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pakistan's position in the Syrian civil war[edit]

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

I don't see why this has to be on its own article and I don't see the notability with this article. The article basically states that the government of Pakistan supports Bashar al-Assad and wants a peaceful solution to the end of the civil war. The article is an outlier as it is the only article about a country's position in the war that hasn't sent troops to fight against the various factions involved.

American Comedy Institute[edit]

A non-notable comedy school with sources that mostly come from the school's website and its own YouTube channel. The Youtube links are obviously not independent. From what I could find about the school, all the articles that I've read that mention this school, only mention it in passing, and always included the founder of the school. There is nothing in third-party sources about what the school does outside of teaching comedy to students. There is no one article that's entirely about the school.

Draftify. I've listed 8 relevant articles from newspapers.com on the talk article's page, some with more than a passing mention of the Institute. I agree with the observations above, however, that this article is not ready for prime time, and needs to be de-spammed.

Peter Bradley (footballer)[edit]

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

Tagged for deletion almost immediately after creation in 2010 with rationale never played a fully professional game, and is only a youth player at st mirren, the first part of which still remains valid. I'm confused as to what the notability claim is in honesty.

According to Soccerbase (which has him down as Scottish), he does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL as he has only ever appeared in the NIFL Premiership, the SJFA West Region Premiership, Scottish League Two and Scottish League One, none of which are listed at WP:FPL.

I found one article in Daily Record, which is basically a transfer announcement with a lengthy quote from the player. On its own, it isn't enough for WP:GNG, especially considering that NFOOTBALL isn't met. I have searched in ProQuest and other search engines, using his name in conjunction with clubs that he has played for, and found little else. Trivial mentions in Glasgow Times and Cumnock Chronicle match reports do nothing to support a notability claim. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 23:20, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AfDs for this article:

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

Not an endorsement of deletion, but I'm opening this as a way to progress things forwards. It seems that most editors are agreed that CallMeCarson's main claim to notability is the allegations of sexual impropriety made against him in such articles as Daily Dot and Insider; however, they disagree on whether the allegations should be included or the article deleted. The reason for exclusion of the allegations would be WP:BLPCRIME.

Delete it. As I said on the talk page, the sources on an alleged crime/impropriety are not enough to meet WP:SIGCOV.

Ah I wouldn't blame yourself: unless it's a really high-profile topic, I find that I can never know whether something is notable until I'm midway through writing it, and by then (unless it's definitely non-notable) it's worth gathering all the sources, pressing "Publish changes" and letting others contest it if they want. I think it was worth presenting the best case for notability and if we find it non-notable then that stops others (hopefully) from trying to create it again (or gives a useful WP:REFUND if there's more coverage). — Bilorv (talk) 14:27, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Most of the coverage surrounding him has to do with the "forbidden knowledge" that won't go into the article anyway, so why have it in the first place? PraiseVivec (talk) 11:45, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment/Idea If Dexerto were considered a reliable source, then maybe there would be some grounds to keep Carson's article, seeing as how that outlet has significantly covered him. However, for whatever reason it's considered a "clickbait" website, so I guess nothing can be done about this article... unless there was a way to postpone the deletion process so that we can get consensus on whether or not Dexerto is truly a reliable source once more before going through the rest of this process, as it may contribute to the status of CallMeCarson's article. Just a little idea, though, but maybe later tonight I may ask on the VGS talk page if we can reconsider the source as reliable. PantheonRadiance (talk) 22:25, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Not sure why you think dexerto is a reliable source, especially for establishing notability, to me it seems clear that its sensationalism and extremely niche. Corinal (talk) 10:39, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Corinal: Wasn't arguing in support of this source, I was just commenting on how most of the articles I saw about him were from that outlet alone. When I went to check the consensus on Dexerto, all I saw was that it was unreliable due to its "click-bait" and little analysis of the site itself, which is why I decided to post my initial comment first. But if Dexerto is still considered unreliable for establishing notability, then I'm leaning towards Delete. Only other sources I could find were a basic name-drop on a NYT article and a Game Rant article from yesterday, which even if the outlet were fully reliable, wouldn't have much use seeing as how it also touches upon the allegations we voted to exclude via WP:BLPCRIME.

Delete: The subject, lacking the allegations (exclude per WP:BLPCRIME), is not notable. We are not a current news media outlet but an encyclopedia. Trying to add sensationalism as a reason for encyclopedia notability is insane. Just from what I read this is too flimsy to even attempt to cover. Even "if" there are charges, it would likely be federal concerning nude photographs of an under-aged person, and would just be a criminal act, not encyclopedia worthy. "If" nothing criminal results we (Wikipedia) would be spreading harmful content. In this case, possible inclusion fails all three points of the inclusion test. Without trying to figure out how to add the allegations, to add notability, there is none. -- Otr500 (talk) 03:37, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, these sources are tabloid-level articles (and interviews) in publications of dubious repute. In fact, the first reference is a blog. If mentions in similar publications were enough to be considered a pass of notability then every other self-described pop star to exist in the former Soviet space would qualify for an article on Wikipedia. nearlyevil 665 13:55, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
She is a singer. Her songs were placed in rotation nationally by a major radio network (Shanson radio). So she is qualify for an article on Wikipedia. See WP:NSINGER. Simple. GorgonaJS (talk) 21:37, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Firstly, that deletion nomination is just a WP:VAGUEWAVE, it doesn't consist of an actual position. In the following, I give most of the citations I have, the rest I pulled from the WP article in Russian because I simply cannot track down Russian-language RS. I also don't know how to check Russian national charts so I've just not tried with that. WP:NSINGER criteria 1: She has been in a few reasonably reputable sources written in English - The Moscow Times [1], Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty [2], TASS [3]. Also some from pop culture sources - less reliable, but volume of articles is still relevant. Criteria 6: She was in the Chamber Jewish Musical Theatre which is notable in its own right due to its place in Russian Jewish history, as well as having had notable members (e.g. Yuri Sherling and Yakov Yavno, who were both recognised as People's Artist of the RSFSR). Criteria 8: she had songs in Pesnya goda in 1997, 1998, 1999 [4] (the equivalent of 2 award nominations). The source isn't great but I struggled to find any list of the nominees and winners from every year. Criteria 11: As described by Gorgona JS, she was on rotation with Shanson radio. Non-singer notability: She's received a couple of national award/medal/title (not sure what to call it - like Order of Australia, those kind of things). She was a candidate in a political election for United Russia (the ruling party) [5]. She had a clothing collection in a significant fashion week. Summary: she meets multiple criteria of notability, even with me having the constraints of not knowing Russian. --Xurizuri (talk) 02:48, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Wasted Youth. I could only find a Rock Hard review of, I'm guessing, a reissue. Sites and books like MetalSucks (listed as reliable) and The Encyclopedia of Punk and Culture call the band "legendary" and "inspir[ing]" without really going into detail, certainly not about the album. LA and San Diego newspaper mentions from the period are brief, and about the band. Just lost HathiTrust access, so not sure about American Hardcore or Martin Popoff, etc. There are likely things about this 1988 thrash album that have not been digitized or made available through databases.

Socialist (insult)[edit]

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

So I get the point with this article, but I doubt that we can separate the epithet 'socialist' from any normal definition of 'socialist'? A wide variety of political terms can be construed as insults depending on context, 'socialist' is by no means an exception. 'Fascist', on the other hand, is a very peculiar case as the definition in common parlance today has very little to do with the original, self-identified fascist movement.

Delete per WP:NOTEVERYTHING. Any word can be an insult when you really think about it. KidAd • SPEAK 23:31, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the present article to my view suffers from SYNTH, but there is RS on the notion of the term "socialist" as an insult. However, from what I can see, almost all the sourcing on that topic locates socialist within the wider framework of attacks on the left, ie red-baiting. FWIW, I find the title misleading, insult is personal and implies relations between individuals, but the label of "socialist" had (can have) profound consequences far beyond being an insult (eg loss of employment, imprisonment, death) and historically has frequently been backed with institutional power (eg state agency surveillance) So, rather than delete, I'd lean more towards a redirect to red-baiting. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 23:51, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Red-baiting: I am in 100% agreeance with Goldsztajn. A redirect to red-baiting is the most appropriate action here; these two pages are exactly the same concept. Curbon7 (talk) 04:52, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge with Red-baiting. From looking over the (huge amount of) sources looks like a minor case of WP:SYNTH and possibly WP:REFBOMBING. Most political designations can be used as an insult by a differing factor or someone wanting to miscategorise the other's views. Agree with the above comment that this does not have the same notability as Fascist (insult). The article is trying to cover 'communist' and 'marxist' (in some sources) as an insult so a merge with red-baiting makes sense. I don't really support redirecting as no articles link to this page and it is highly unlikely someone would search for this exact term. Vladimir.copic (talk) 05:32, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Red-baiting: Per reasons provided by others, which seem persuasive to me. As others have pointed out, you could add "(insult)" to pretty much any word to generate an article, which seems problematic. To the extent there is unique content, it should be merged to Red-baiting. DocFreeman24 (talk) 06:22, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/merge The title needs work but the sources indicate that there's a substantial topic here. The scope of the article includes other similar words like "communist" and this is not just a US "red scare" thing – I noticed in recent news coverage that the Taliban execute communists out of hand. This is a new article and applicable policies include WP:ATD, WP:BITE, WP:CENSOR, WP:NOTCLEANUP, WP:PRESERVE. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:42, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: (or merge with Red Baiting) the SYNTH and NPOV concerns aside, there are very few non-opinion RS that describe this topic in-depth. It's mostly just a passing mention, see for example Fortune, CBS News etc. Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 19:51, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: First of all, I appreciate the response and fair criticism. "'Fascist', on the other hand, is a very peculiar case as the definition in common parlance today has very little to do with the original, self-identified fascist movement." I thought that 'socialism', or 'communist', has become the same, as it is has been used to describe people who have nothing to do with either, or where it is used to mean 20th-century Communist regimes when many socialists and communists were the first to criticized them back in 1917 and do not want to recreate command economies or force them through authoritarianism; of course, it has overlap with 'red-baiting', and it has been used to criticize, or as an insult for, the whole Left. I could have used 'buzzword', 'epithet', or 'scare word', but for consistency I used the same title of Fascist (insult) because that was its example on the other hand of the spectrum, and my intent was focusing on the pejorative (i.e. they are used to mean either 20th-century Communist regimes or any expansion of the government) more than red-baiting. I disagree that "you could add '(insult)' to pretty much any word to generate an article, which seems problematic" because, while true to an extent, it is only notable for the Left and fascism.

P.S. Either way, I think they would be an improvement for the Red-baiting article, and they could be used as redirects; a Definition of socialism article is needed, so we could also cover the use as an insult, pejorative, etc. "From looking over the (huge amount of) sources looks like a minor case of WP:SYNTH and possibly WP:REFBOMBING." I thought synthesis does not warrant deletion, otherwise Mass killings under communist regimes would have been done with a long time ago. Davide King (talk) 07:17, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stanley Sampson[edit]

Subject fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY as a player, and also fails to meet WP:GNG as a person. I found only one obituary on Legacy.com for Sampson from 2011, which was reprinted on several news sites. This is not enough to pass for general notability. Routine mentions box scores found on newspapers.com and newspaperarchives.com are not enough to pass GNG.

Delete Does not pass NHOCKEY or GNG. First, the cited work "Total Hockey" does not have an entry for him at all, that entry appears to be fiction. If, as the article claims, he was signed as a minor league player, that book would not have him in their records unless he actually played. Additionally, it would also appear to be fiction that he played his junior hockey with the Brandon Wheat Kings as they did not exist when he would have been junior age. The obit claims that he played in the NHL, which unfortunately no database confirms.18abruce (talk) 22:00, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. I have to discount most of the "keep" opinions because they consist mostly of attacks on the nominator or the nomination, rather than of attempts to address the nominator's reason for the nomination, which is WP:IINFO. Per WP:AGF and WP:NPA, such comments are prohibited and cannot be therefore taken into account when assessing consensus. This includes the "keep" opinion by Andrew Davidson, as well as the opinions that refer to that opinion, and by Philoserf and 7&6=thirteen. While there are other "keep" opinions that do make an argument for why this list is not indiscriminate, they by and large fail to address the WP:LISTN arguments also advanced by the "delete" side. Based on this assessment of the merits of the opinions voiced here, I conclude that we have rough consensus for deleting this article. Sandstein 07:23, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Another vexatious repeat nomination contrary to WP:DELAFD as no valid reasons to delete are provided. If the list is short, then this is not a problem – if it were long, the nominator would be complaining about that too. The complaints that it is minor and overlistification are not policy-based and so are just forms of WP:IDONTLIKEIT contrary to WP:NPOV. This dislike seems to be an Anglo-American bias as counties are more significant in national culture in the UK, as compared with the US. Borsetshire and Thomas Hardy's Wessex are quite notable in the UK and the list is a reasonable index of such per WP:LISTPURPS and WP:CLN. Andrew🐉(talk) 19:30, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If counties are so important in British fiction, there ought to be far more standalone articles of them. It doesn't seem like they are any more important than they are in fiction from the US, as most of the links from the list go to works of media rather than the county itself. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:40, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The list has had its ups and downs since it was created back in 2003 and I had little difficulty adding a significant entry just now. So, what is the magic number of entries that is required and where is the justification for it? Bear in mind that we have featured lists with fewer entries such as List of castles in Greater Manchester which just has 9, for example. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉(talk) 23:11, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Andrew Davidson - I think the key difference is that the castles of Greater Manchester are clearly 'a thing' and have been grouped together by reliable sources per WP:NLIST (see: [9], [10], [11]). Nobody seems to be able to produce similar sources for this list other than sources speaking about individual fictional counties. Without this, it is WP:ORIGINAL. Vladimir.copic (talk) 07:19, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, castles in Greater Manchester are not a thing. I grew up in the area and so am quite familiar with places like Dunham Massey. AFAIC, that's in Cheshire – the historic county which is more appropriate for medieval matters. Greater Manchester is a modern invention (1974) and so its use in this context is an anachronism. You see, counties in Britain are ancient institutions with deep roots and their fictional equivalents are a thing too. If you are not British and have never listened to an episode of The Archers, you are unlikely to fully appreciate this topic. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:18, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well whatever your opinions are they are irrelevant unless supported by sources or guidelines. Vladimir.copic (talk) 12:05, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
So far I have cited at least four policies and guidelines. I've added a good source to the article and I have plans to do more now that Wikimania has finished. My !vote stands and is only going to get stronger. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:08, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep The sources indicate the notability of the topic. But I would suggest removing unsourced entries and one-shot entities. The main setting of a series is probably notable, but we seem to list counties that appeared in a single episode of a long-running series. I doubt there are many sources on the topic. Dimadick (talk) 19:47, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - My opinion hasn't really changed since the last time, except the list has been somewhat pruned since then. It still seems to be an indiscriminate collection of trivia, but perhaps I'm not seeing the sources people above are talking about. Could someone provide the best sources which provide some in depth coverage of "fictional counties" as a group (not about specific fictional counties, that is)? Surely we can also find sources which say that [X] is the [township, commonwealth, subdivision, country, continent, state, province, company town, neighborhood, borough, street, square, region, etc.] of [work of fiction] sufficient for all of those lists. The question is whether there's significant coverage as a group. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:42, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The page has existed since 2003 without significant problems, providing information and navigational assistance to thousands of readers. It's the handful of nay-sayers that need to find a good reason to change the status quo – something better than WP:IDONTLIKEIT, WP:TRIVIAL, WP:NOTBIGENOUGH and WP:KEEPLISTING.

Delete - The sources in the article seem to fail to meet WP:LISTN. One of the sources in the lead doesn't even seem to mention county within its text. Otherwise, it's just an indiscriminate list that, if reduced to blue links, really doesn't even need to exist. TTN (talk) 18:34, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The third AFD was in March 2020. Anything linking to its own article or an article with sufficient coverage of it, or that has a reference saying its a notable setting, belongs on the list. Dream Focus 01:58, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as completely fails WP:LISTN. I've done a brief WP:BEFORE and cannot find any sources discussing this subject as a whole (this alone should be enough to convince editors to delete). The article as it stands is the result of WP:SYNTH/WP:ORIGINAL. Just to go through some of the sources in the lede:

This source never once mentions counties (let alone fictional ones), is an article about one specific fictional map and never makes any general claims about fictional maps of counties.
This entire book on fictional worlds only mentions counties once in a list (when not in a proper noun).
The Kinberger source also never speaks about counties but rather talks about mapping "informal geographies" (not necessarily even 'fictional' geographies).
This source is hardly reliable and again never speaks about counties specifically.
All other sources just speak of fictional counties in the work of Faulkner - not as a larger idea.

Sources in the rest of the article only speak about the specific fictional county in the list. I think this exposes the WP:REFBOMBING that has justified the article's existence so far. Read the sources fellow editors! Vladimir.copic (talk) 06:59, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- per Vladimir. Between the sources that don't mention the subject at all (!), the passing mentions, and the unreliable sources I think it's pretty clear that this doesn't pass WP:LISTN. Reyk _YO! 14:43, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment- I would also urge the closing administrator to take note of the unjustified accusations of nationalist bias on the part of the nominator made by several of the participants here. I regard these comments to be personal attacks, and I strongly urge the closer not to overlook this behaviour just because the comments are prefaced by the word "keep". Reyk _YO! 14:49, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a sufficient list article that identifies numerous fictional counties. I supported merging in the previous nomination, and since it was kept, I cleaned up the list from this to this, providing encyclopedic context for each fictional county wherever it exists. This is essentially a subset of lists of fictional locations, spun off by the type of location, like the other subsets are. We can have a range of subsets by territory, and we do, from city to state to country to world, and I don't see it to be detrimental to have a county-based list as part of that spectrum, as long as the entries have noteworthiness independent of the primary source. That's what I added after the last AfD, and I find encyclopedic value in identifying and briefly discussing the relevance of each fictional county, especially what they are based on. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 16:02, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep For the same reasons listed in the last three nominations. Another vexatious repeat nomination contrary to WP:DELAFD as no valid reasons to delete are provided. WP:Not paper WP:Preserve 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:48, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There's no unifying coverage or purpose to listing such disparate fictional places together, dissimilar in media and genre, merely because they are within an administrative hierarchy sharing a name in these two countries. While writers may choose to avoid locating their works in a real place, even if inspired by one, to allow for more creative flexibility, there's not anything discussing the subject as whole indicating the relationship between listed items or a navigational connection between one place to another relative to other types of fictional places. Reywas92^Talk 19:59, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I can see a lot of ‘keep’ votes are relying on WP:LASTTIME (even though last time reached no consensus). Would be interested to see some engagement on the topic and relevant sources. Vladimir.copic (talk) 22:20, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: this nomination being made after three unsuccessful AfDs aside, I don't see how this fails WP:NLIST. I see twenty-two sources, which look legitimate to me -- I don't see anything wrong with them, and nobody else has tried to challenge their reliability. The article could definitely stand to be cleaned up -- this should be done -- but I don't see this as an inherently absurd or disjunct subject for a list. jp×g 02:14, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @JPxG: the reliability of the sources isn't the issue; what the sources are doing is the issue. They verify information, but they don't show notability. We can find 22 sources of things that verify each of 22 fictional purple things or fictional playgrounds or fictional people named Ralph. That doesn't mean that the subject itself is notable (the subject being "fictional people named Ralph" or "fictional counties"). The way we evaluate that is by finding sources which provide significant coverage of the subject -- that is, of fictional counties as a group. Otherwise we can cobble together fandom lists about nearly any subject if each individual item is verifiable. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 02:30, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are at least four counties of well-established note which make the list viable: Barsetshire, Wessex, Yoknapatawpha, and (last and least) Hazzard. All else is a matter of cleanup. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:43, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per NLIST. The few notable entries aren't discussed as a group. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:46, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That isn't want makes something WP:NLIST. The grouping itself has to be notable via sources not the individual items making up the list. Vladimir.copic (talk) 05:19, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I presume what Clarityfiend is saying is that it's not an encyclopedic list; it's a purely navigational list. I would disagree that four (or even a bit more) items (plus perpetual additions of trivia) makes for a useful navigational aid. Categories and lists can coexist, but we also don't need another list to maintain for every category. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:58, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The sources on the article verify that the fictional counties listed exist, but don't establish that the concept of 'fictional counties' as a group is notable, and no sources have been raised in this discussion that demonstrate this. Some of the sources currently on the article don't cover the subject in much detail, and I agree with Vladimir.copic's analysis. Waxworker (talk) 11:43, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stavros Zevlaris[edit]

Semi-pro footballer having only played in the 2nd and 3rd tiers of Cyprus. Has played for Cyprus but only U17, which doesn't confer notability either. Searching "Σταύρος Ζεβλάρης" gets us a passing mention in Kerkida (translated) and a one-sentence injury announcement in Cyprus Times (translated). I also did a DDG search which returned nothing better than a squad list in Kathimerini, none of this shows significant coverage so Zevlaris likely fails WP:GNG.

Nothing on Football Database, World Football, FlashScore, SofaScore, Soccerway or Cyprus FA gives any indication of notability as U21 caps for Cyprus are not covered by WP:NFOOTBALL. Even the unreliable Transfermarkt has nothing for him.

Greek language searches through DDG and Google turn up nothing of note. There appears to be an assistant referee of the same name who also doesn't appear to be notable enough for an article.

Redirect to Harry Nilsson#1980–1992: Winding down. The nominator and I have both done some work on this article because the primary editor was unfamiliar with the templates and other matters. I was indifferent to notability at the time, but upon further reflection I don't think the song and its story have made it into the significant and reliable media as required for a stand-alone WP article. While the song was Nilsson's statement on the murder of his longtime friend John Lennon, and it is fairly legendary in the fan community, the rest of world (especially reliable music journalists) just hasn't really noticed. The episode can be mentioned briefly at Nilsson's article, and already is. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:47, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- This is the kind of coverage most clubs at this level get. While it may contribute to the club's notability, I do not believe it makes a season article notable, particularly given how far below the WP:NSEASONS requirement this falls. Frankly, it would be absurd to have season articles for clubs at this level. Number 5 7 14:47, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - if by any chance the article is kept, what is currently there will need an almost total re-write. Bits like "Results were extremely positive, with goals flowing as they scored five against both Saltash and Liskeard", "After 40 minutes of the game, there was cause for optimism as Mackenzie Brown's side looked more than capable of playing at level, carving out a handful of decent chances" and "A strong performance from Sam Morcom on the left and an impressive contribution from Laurence Murray in midfield allowed the home side to run out comfortable winners" would be appropriate for a fansite but are not at all suitable for an encyclopedia..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:53, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi All - apologies for sounding dumb, I'm very new to the article-writing process (as you're most likely aware!) - how will I know whether this article is going to be deleted, and can you confirm what I could possibly do to avoid it being deleted before the 7 day window has expired?

@Spuddie79: The discussion will closed after seven days, at which point a decision will be made on deletion. Without wanting to be harsh, basically there is nothing you can do – this article is well below our notability threshold – the vast majority of National League club season articles have been deleted due to not being considered notable, so there is no way that a season article for a club playing four divisions lower will be considered notable. I would suggest putting your effort into improving 2021–22 Western Football League. Cheers, Number 5 7 11:14, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I cannot see how WP:BEFORE was done here. Overall winner, Travel Photographer of the Year, 2015; and Grand title winner, Wildlife Photographer of the Year, 2018. I'm not aware of the former award, but the latter is significant. The latter win has coverage in a very many major media outlets. I have now added all of this to the article. Passes WP:GNG: "A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Passes WP:ANYBIO: "1. The person has received a well-known and significant award". Unless I misunderstand "critical", then passes WP:ARTIST "4.

Keep WP:NTENNIS is not limited to professional tennis players, and to do so would make a mockery of the significant coverage many amateur players received in the years before the open era. Iffy★Chat -- 10:52, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. As far as I can see, Brodie does not meet one of the criteria of WP:NTENNIS, so what are you basing your keep vote on? There's also no evidence of significant coverage of this individual to meet WP:SIGCOV. Historically we do not keep articles on subjects who play in opens when they are non-professional. Criteria 3 specifies that the open must be professional. See for example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Bennett (tennis), in which several members of WP:WikiProject Tennis pointed to the fact that participating in amateur opens is not inherently notable. This is a very similar case. Also Iffy, please remember to sign your above comment. Best. 4meter4 (talk) 19:15, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed the signature, apologies. The key difference between players like Robert Bennett and Lionel Brodie is that Brodie participated in multiple Grand Slams, reaching the quarter finals and semi-final stages, while gthe result of the Bennett AFD appears to be on the basis that he played in only 1 match and lost it. Iffy★Chat -- 19:42, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The prior AFD was based around the fact that participation in an open prior to it going professional is not notable with special attention given to the professional requirement of criteria 3. No discussion was based around the actual player’s standing in that open. Basically NTENNIS does not support the notability of amateurs (even if they win a grand slam if that slam was not professional at the time). That doesn’t necessarily mean that this individual couldn’t still pass SIGCOV though if sources are found and presented here. Best.4meter4 (talk) 22:54, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Did you even do a WP:BEFORE search before opening this AFD? The article cites an obituary in The Sydney Morning Herald for his death (undeniably a reliable source), which makes me think that there is more coverage in Australian newspaper archives. Iffy★Chat -- 11:51, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I did do a before search, although tennis is not my area of expertise. The trouble with obituaries is that there are two kinds: one which is written by an independent staff writer and another which is submitted and paid for by family/ people connected to the person who died. Typically obits which are independent have a named staff writer with a byline and the obit itself has a title other than obituary. Since neither are present in this ref and there is no url link it is impossible to tell the quality, independence, or significance of this particular reference.4meter4 (talk) 14:08, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are possibly over 1600 references at:

I have not looked in detail at these, but even assuming that the vast majority are trivial and-or routine and some are not about the subject, it will only require ~ 1% of them to be good ones to pass GNG. Looks like no BEFORE was done. Aoziwe (talk) 13:19, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No appearances at Football Database. GSA and Soccerway have him down for one cup game but that was against a team in a lower tier of Cyprus, so no basis for WP:NFOOTBALL from that game. World Football mentions him taking part in two legs of a 16-0 thrashing at the hands of ACF Gloria Bistrița so he does narrowly cross the line for NFOOTBALL. Playmaker Stats has two appearances for the same time period, which I presume to be the same games but it doesn't provide any confirmation. Cyprus FA has no pro appearances listed. Super League Greece has nothing.

Google News has no coverage, the article relates to a much more prominent TikToker. Google Images also has next to nothing. A Greek language DDG search contains almost nothing. I did get a couple of passing mentions in the likes of Contra but nothing that addresses him in detail at all. I have done a number of searches and can't find any evidence towards WP:GNG, which supersedes any presumed notability from playing two games of football.

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a radio personality, not properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for radio personalities. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they have jobs -- the notability test requires externally validated evidence of significance, such as notable awards and/or the reception of significant coverage in media independent of oneself. But the notability claim here is that he exists, and the sourcing is entirely primary source content on the self-published website of his own (former) employer rather than any evidence of independent coverage.

Delete: I would say this fails WP:BIO, under WP:BASIC, because its just trivial coverage of a person, focused entirely on two elements - their long life, and their survival of COVID-19. Unless someone could examine the article's subject some more - background, history, other notable elements (beyond those covered) - I don't think this article is notable enough to remain on Wikipedia.GUtt01 (talk) 17:17, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Changed my mind on this, based on a good point in this discussion by Furius. Apart from being a good stub, I think the concern is for the lede of the article and a couple of sentences, which could just be amended and changed since they do appear to be original research without appropriate citations.

Comment: While I might not want to read up about a person who has lived a long life, I would say that, regardless of this, such an article would only really be worth the mustard of notability, if there was more on the subject themselves, beyond being the longest-living person (regardless of first or second in that respect). Other than being the oldest to survive COVID-19, I would expect a bit more than this on the article:

What was their occupation?

What was their life like?

Did they make other achievements?

Did they witness significant events in their life?

Not having such details just doesn't make the article notable enough. Without that personal life information and maybe some other worthwhile information to make such an achievement seem more notable than it sounds as it is, it hardly seems right to have this article exist on the merits of being a person who lived longest/second-longest, and survived against COVID. GUtt01 (talk) 20:46, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(a) All of this is covered in the French wiki article, supported by reliable sources - she was a governess to the Peugeot family and others in the 1910s, converted to Catholicism and became a nun in 1923, and worked in hospitals in that capacity from 1945 until 1979. (b) The point is that there are multiple reliable sources in English and in French for this figure, so it passes GNG and is notable.

I'm not talking about deleting it completely - I agree that the subject is notable. Too notable to be deleted, but not notable enough for a standalone article.

Delete as per nom. The series of promotional article for Bengali/Indian TV shows are popping up every week. Bunch of IDs and IPs first creates articles about the show with doubtful citations from WP:TOI and then in a day or two they start creating articles about its lead actors (who are mostly having a career less than a year or two). If the actors article fails to qualify, they somehow get the redirection to respective TV shows of those actors. Classic PR operation.

SIMBYM Inc[edit]

Repeatedly deleted article on a company that appears to fail WP:NCORP. This version does have some of the WP:G11 language removed and is posted by a different account (as the original one was blocked). The article's only decent source (also available here) is an advert and doesn't satisfy WP:ORGIND. In my WP:BEFORE search I can only find unreliable/user-generated sources on the company such as LinkedIn, CrunchBase, Capterra, Facebook, Twitter etc.

Only claim to notability seems to be the claimed connections with Lakshmi Narayanan and M. S. Swaminathan but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED and the only source to support these connections seems to be SIMBYM's own website. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 10:16, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Base modifying agent[edit]

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

This page has been around for 11 years with no citations, partly cause there isn't even anything to cite. It's literally just two rather redundant sentences. "Base modifying agent" isn't a specific term used in chemistry, nor any other science field that I am aware of. It doesn't really inform anything.

Honestly I feel like this page exists simply for the sake of existing? I was going to nominate it for PROD, but in the off-chance someone know of some esoteric use of this term I decided on AfD. If not I suppose it could be voted as a speedy delete. --Tautomers_{(T C)} 07:25, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: It seems the sentences aren't even wholly correct. According to Auburn University and this biotechnology book, a base modifying agent is a "chemical mutagen that modifies the chemical structure of one or more bases normally found in DNA." There are some brief mentions, but not enough to pass WP:NCHEM (which is just WP:GNG). Curbon7 (talk) 07:48, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was also expecting this to be about DNA damage of some kind. As written this is useless, and if someone wanted to write an article at this title, the page history here wouldn't help.

Opabinia regalis (talk) 08:44, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This reads strangely like an item on a worksheet for a high-school chemistry class: a redundant definition and a non-illuminating example, disconnected from actual scientific parlance. As argued above, the few times that anyone in the literature uses it, they mean something else.

Merge to List of generation VII Pokémon#Popplio With such insightful commentary as "Megan Farokhmanesh of The Verge described Popplio as "very ugly"", it surely examines Popplio's impact on society. Not. This does not demonstrate any notability beyond the very trivial observations of a few critics, and fails WP:GNG._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 09:51, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak~~ Keep: The article in its present state is definitely not well written, and I do notice that in mainstream video game journalism, a lot of irreverent humor is used in discussions about the Pokemon franchise. That said, WP:IDONTLIKEIT is still not a ground for deletion per guideline or policy. This nomination is not properly constructed and does not advocate a valid ground for deletion per WP:GNG with a proper source analysis, and not liking the tone of what a reliable source has to say about the subject is certainly WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Is it necessary for Wikipedia to host another standalone Pokemon article? Probably unnecessary, but then this is verging on an "other stuff exists" argument. Do we need to delete an article about a Pokemon character that has sources like Kotaku, Polygon, Digital Spy, and The Verge (which are not "non-significant sources" by the way) which are specifically devoted to discussing the character in non-trivial detail and not as part of a list, in other words WP:SIGCOV? No, because article content, however poor, does not determine notability. As noted by an editor in another discussion, a character does not need to be "important to the world" to be notable. And per WP:NEXIST, I found three additional reliable sources, plus one more from Kotaku, which specifically critiqued the character: Techradar, Nintendo World Report, Paste Magazine. Haleth (talk) 12:19, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Haleth: I can asure your that my nomination is not a matter of WP:IDONTLIKEIT (I myself love Primarina). The Appearances section consists of a list of video games in which Popplio appear (as does the majority of Pokémon introduced in Gen VII), and minor appearances in other media. The reception section indeed has reliable secondary sources, but these sources cover Popplio in a superficial way, with just random mentions. --LoЯd ۞pεth 00:10, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Lord Opeth, I was suggesting that your AfD is motivated by your disapproval over the contents of the article, as opposed to the subject itself. I find that for the purposes of AfD and assessing notability, most editors disregard the volume of appearances in the body of fictional works a character has appeared in. Consensus seem to focus on the development and reception sections as the key points of contention or scrutiny. In this case, an aggregate of at least 7 distinct reliable sources which specifically discuss the divisive reception over the character is objectively not a form of random mention, the playful or humorous tones notwithstanding (Pokemon started off as a media franchise for consumption by children afterall). Haleth (talk) 04:31, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of generation VII Pokémon#Popplio Let's keep the bar high for Pokemon species, please...there are over 800+ species. The Characteristics and Appearances sections can be drafted up for almost any character. Reception section is fluffed up with excessive quotes and repeating the same points over and over. When you cut out the fat, the only meaningful coverage seems to be the articles comparing Popplio to the other starters of that gen.

Comment: Coverage on Popplio definitely exists, but that's the best that can be said about it. There's not really much about the character to go indepth on besides spouting off clickbaity material about how cool or uncool it looks. Not enough to fulfill notability requirements without really reaching. There's also no real argument as to why Popplio should have a page over other Pokemon of its ilk._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 03:42, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is sustained coverage about the character's divisive reception. The article in its present state may not be well-written, but the aggregate sourcing following a read paints a different picture, suggesting there is significant discussion among commentators and among players about the perceived dip in quality of design standards, something that most other Pokemon characters simply don't have. Sine critical commentary about a character's design and appearance is a fundamental part of their reception, that satisfies WP:GNG as far as I am concerned. Haleth (talk) 18:15, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing the WP:THREE cited above: Plush Pokémon Should Not Be $80 And Make Me Cry, The NWR Pokemon Sun and Moon Starter Debate - The Case For Popplio, The Power of Helplessness: Why Everybody Loves Mimikyu and Hates Popplio are the epitome of hot take, unsubstantial soft news—none are suitable for general citation in an encyclopedia. If this is the best we've got, they underscore why these nominations should be uncontroversial redirects. czar 04:08, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
While we are all entitled to our opinions on whether the coverage is substantial or otherwise, even though no source analysis of the existing cited sources has been given, there is certainly no guideline or policy on Wikipedia which prohibits the citation and use of "soft news" on any topics within a generalist encyclopedia that uses crowdfunded user-generated content. Input from numerous editors here confirms as much as that articles which contains elements of "hot takes and unsubstantial news" are not by themselves problematic. They should not be presented as fact in Wikivoice, but in a neutral manner as WP:RSOPINION, though that is an editorial as opposed to a notability concern. Our only concern in this regard should only be whether the source in question is reliable and independent from the subject. Is it the case that sources you questioned fail WP:V, lack an editorial oversight, or that the articles themselves only consist of a single sentence or paragraph like this gem? WP:THREE is also not a vetted guideline; if it is merely meant to be instructive, then I should point out that some editors and even one established guideline believe two distinct sources about the topic would suffice, others may require five, ten or even way more. Haleth (talk) 16:43, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but this isn't a matter of "opinion". We have an established precedent that promotional, low-quality, clickbait, and listicle sources do not somehow compose significant coverage simply for mentioning the character: WP:ROSE, WP:KLEFKI, for starters. The quality of the source absolutely matters. Video game AfDs are a walled garden. Non-video game AfD regulars tear these sources apart all day long. czar 05:58, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Per the analysis of the outcome for WP:ROSENBERG then, which is the result of a VG project-wide consensus 6 years ago. There are 3 articles by Kotaku, 2 from Polygon, and the rest, one each from Digital Spy, The Verge, Techradar, Nintendo World Report, and Paste Magazine. Almost all of them are either full-length articles which specifically discuss the character directly and in detail, or presented as substantial comparisons of the reception of its design and attributes to that of another contemporary character which fulfills the requirement of non-trivial coverage, which is more than a trivial mention but does not need to be the main topic of the source material. Quoting the closer from WP:ROSENBERG, none of the articles I brought up talk about the subject in "just a single paragraph, in a list of such paragraphs", and the article is certainly not "almost completely in-universe, failing WP:PLOT". Out of universe commentary as highlighted by the sources I've mentioned is a manifestation of the character's effect on the world, and your opinion that all that commentary is trite and vapid in tone, while probably justifiable from a certain perspective, is an irrelevant concern under the notability guidelines, because that is just opinion based on subjective importance which anyone can espouse about anything. I am not sure why a redirect to WP:KLEFKI even exists or brought up here as it provides no meaningful instructive precedent to this discussion, especially when some of the recent Pokemon AfD's are not closed in the exact same manner.

Even if we are both in agreement that the advice from WP:ROSENBERG is useful, where up to three criteria is suggested by the closer as the basis for a standalone article, it doesn't change the fact that it is not a widely cited precedent like WP:GNG or even WP:NFICTION in AfD discussions, so the so-called Rosenberg resolution probably fits into the definition of a local consensus within a walled garden you just described. Per consensus from the site-wide RfC on Screen Rant, a widely used source which is one of the "low-quality, clickbait, and listicle" sources you deride, the closer determined that it is a "marginally reliable" source, except for BLP articles, which is adequate and reliable enough for other uses. I am sure that includes demonstrating notability for pop culture topics, provided the article does not only mention the subject in passing. I should point out then that all of the sites I emphasized are seen as of a higher quality compared to ScreenRant by other editors, certainly the emerging consensus here indicate that most other editors do not believe there is anything demonstrably unreliable or problematic with sites that use "hot takes" or post "unsubstantial soft news", to the point of being unsuitable for general citation in an encyclopedia as WP:RSOPINION. In the absence of support from guidelines, policy, and a wider consensus local (VG project) or otherwise (Reliable Sources Noticeboard) for your position regarding the quality of coverage for pop culture topics and the subjective importance of topics of a certain nature, yes, it is a matter of opinion. Haleth (talk) 08:51, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't complicated. If a minor fictional character doesn't have enough specialized, non-promotional coverage to escape the orbit of its originating work of fiction, then we cover it in a character list or not at all. That precedent doesn't need to be enshrined in a formal guideline to be acknowledged as the working consensus. WP:NOTBURO czar 16:58, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If it is not vetted into a formal guideline or widely discussed outside of select AfD's about video game characters, then it is WP:LOCALCONSENSUS. Wikipedia's policy on level of consensus is quite clear that consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale. The RfC for Screen Rant is community consensus on a wider scale. My interpretation is a word for word reading of the closer's finding from WP:ROSENBERG since you brought it up for our consideration, with the more substantial sources highlighted in this discussion judged against it. It has nothing to do with bureaucracy. Haleth (talk) 02:32, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak merge to List of generation VII Pokémon#Popplio. The article in Kotaku about plushie doesn't seem very relevant. This doesn't seem very in depth, it's a bloggish rant about some Pokemon design the article's author doesn't like, and doesn't even focus on Popplio that much - it rants about several designs. How does this type of coverage help us? Minor Internet-era author ranted at a minor outlet in passing about this entity? Ugh. [15] Is the same but even more niche of an outlet (this time the author seems to like the design?). And this is more like the first one but better written. Ok, it seems a few people commented about his design, but I am not convinced the source quality is enough here and I'd recommend merge, while preserving the better part of the reception. All that said, this is better than most other Pokemons which get nothing but how to game-related guides, but frankly, to make this notable, I'd want to see coverage that goes beyond few ranting fans who managed to get few bucks for getting their hack writing published on a niche gaming portal. If the controversy about its design or the design itself gets written up by mainstream media or academics, then I'd vote keep. For now, I think this doesn't meet WP:GNG. With the proliferation of low quality online commentary about virtually anything, a few low quality rants should not be enough to meet GNG. PS.

Keep or merge all of the article's contents to some other suitable destination - I have no idea who or what this character is, but even a brief WP:BEFORE search shows significant coverage from reliable independent sources. I know that some people would prefer that Wikipedia editors dedicated their time to writing articles on serious subjects rather than articles about fictional cartoon animals, but WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not a valid reason to delete articles on subjects which pass WP:GNG. My lack of familiarity with the subject means that I don't know whether this would warrant its own article from a WP:PAGEDECIDE perspective, but given the massive scope of Pokémon's popularity I find it quite easy to believe that most of its characters would at the very least warrant sizable sections within articles regarding closely related subjects in the franchise, if not their own standalone articles. There's simply too much coverage from reliable independent sources at this point. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 07:59, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of generation VII Pokémon#Popplio - Despite the copious amount of sources of vastly varying quality that were WP:REFBOMBed in the Reception section, the actual content of those sources pretty much consists of the information that "Some people didn't like the design and some people did".

Merge as compromise to deletion. The WP:GNG tells us that "mentions" are not enough, as per WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS. It's frustrating to see editors actively cheering for a lack of consensus. Wikipedia is not a WP:BATTLEGROUND and the whole project is built on our ability to form WP:CONSENSUS and find common ground. Merging allows us to preserve what little valid content there is here, and potentially expand it if coverage should ever change due to new events. No consensus just guarantees that these disputes will continue across multiple AFDs. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:21, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with your assessment that a merge close as opposed to a declaration of no consensus will stop disputes from continuing across multiple AfD's. There have been countless cases where editors have started AfD's over topics which have been voted as keep at least once in the past, and the outcome of these AfD's are often never the same. There are also valid avenues for people who are dissatisfied with a specific outcome like deletion reviews. A no consensus outcome is just as valid as any other outcome, and unfortunately, it's not our place to tell other editors what not to do or not to believe as long as they are not in direct violation of site policies like being incivil. In any event, I think it's a bad call to address the potential closer directly and tell them how to close it. What this discussion does need is someone to just act and close it asap as it is clearly going nowhere at this point in time. Haleth (talk) 01:31, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep: Assessing using WP:NPOL, I think his position as an Executive Councilor for the Emirate of Dubai may meet NPOL. Despite having the term "executive" in its title, the Executive Council seems like a legislative body (its Arabic Wikipedia entry, note the line "The Executive Council proposes and approves government policies and laws. It also supervises the implementation of local and federal laws, the establishment of government agencies, and the follow-up of their performance."). If I'm interpreting that correctly to mean that it's a legislative body, then the subject passes WP:NPOL. However, I'm !voting with weak keep because I may be incorrect with that assertion. Curbon7 (talk) 04:01, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Iskandar_323 (talk) 7:30, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

The material removed was a large mass of blatant promotionalism, with extensive name dropping of every possible dignitary, and incredible claims to have had magnificent success in everything he ever worked on.

Keep. This is an excellent example of what our "not being a paper-based encyclopedia" allows us to do. This article probably wouldn't make the grade in a printed encyclopedia, but we're not so limited. The topic is, within its limited sphere of interest, notable, and the references seem reasonable.

Delete - the only references I can find for it, which are trivial, are for the University of Manitoba.

A comic book publishing group that does not appear to have become notable. There is only one source being used in the article currently (the current link is dead, but the article in question can be found here, and reads suspiciously like a press release). Aside from that one article, the only other mention I could find was in a Bleeding Cool article, here, which only consists of two sentences of coverage. The articles on their four published works appear to have all been previously deleted for notability concerns, and I was unable to find any significant coverage on either the company or their published works that would allow it to pass the WP:GNG.

Comment - Two of those sources are actually the same article, that was just posted twice on the same site, and the Bleeding Cool article is the one I mentioned in my nomination as only having a very brief, two sentence mention of the company. It seems like the only place that has more than a brief mention of the company are all from the same site (AnimationXpress), and per the WP:GNG, "multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability". Thus, I still don't see this passing the WP:GNG even with your additions. Rorshacma (talk) 14:57, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP.

I prodded this with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. " It was then redirected by User:Jhenderson777 to Features of the Marvel Universe (quite a problematic article in itself), but the redirect was quickly undone by User:Lowellian with the edit summary "believe subject is notable". Well, per my argument above I don't believe this subject is notable, this is the usual background location in comics and the article is nothing but a list of comic book issues and plotlines it passively appears in. For a related discussion from few months ago see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hudson University, but here I think the sourcing is even worse (note: there appears to a real word organization using this name which seems to be mention in passing in some sources too; it may be just a misnaming for the real-world Empire State College...). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:45, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep . I agree with the importance of reliable sources when writing an article, and "Alaa Najjar" article is no exemption where there are good Arabic citable sources for him and his work years ago until now, I could mention some:
- An-Najah National University Electronics journal (Sawa)": Article in 2018 named Wikipedia education program in its second edition a stamp from Al-Najah University students to the electronics space (its original title برنامج ويكيبيديا للتعليم بنسخته الثانية بصمة من طلبة جامعة النجاح في الفضاء الإلكتروني) where we can find Alaa's name in thankful part as Admin Alaa Najjar from Palestine.
- Libyan electronics journal: 2017, a talk about "Arabic Wikipedia 17" There is a picture for Alaa and mentioning him as one of the supervisors for social media accounts.
- Saudi Arabian Journal: "May 2021" Learn about the Saudi WikiDowen Initiative to publish in the Wikipedia encyclopedia تعرّف على مبادرة "ويكي دوّن" السعودية للنشر في موسوعة "ويكيبيديا" mentioning Alaa's name as Wikimedians of the levant member, in addition to being an editor in Wikipedia.

Plus many others, I could add them to the article.--Sandra Hanbo (talk) 07:38, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do want to push back against some of the arguments being made here. While WP:GNG is indeed "a guideline only", we shouldn't disregard it in favor of personal standards of importance. As far as the specific sources that are required for the GNG, we need nontrivial coverage, not just an article that mentions the subject in passing. Of all the sources presented so far, it seems like the nontrivial ones are the UltraSawt article and the The National News article (I mentioned the latter in the nomination)—at this time, I would maintain the view that this isn't enough nontrivial coverage to justify a standalone biography, although I appreciate that perhaps a couple more sources in the same vein as these two might change my mind. Mz7 (talk) 05:36, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think another relevant angle to this is WP:BLP1E. A part of the motivation for this AfD, which I wish I made clear from the start, was a desire to be respectful of this Wikipedia editor’s privacy. I don’t see Alaa as a particularly high-profile individual, and if sources primarily discuss Alaa only in the context of winning the WotY award, I think our BLP1E policy requires us to err on the side of privacy.

Keep I agree with the preceding comments that the article is above the line of sufficiency. This person is the winner of the Wikimedian of the Year award in its main category and there's evidently growing coverage in reliable sources. Even if we have to be strict for some reason, this is at least a borderline case. In such cases, we usually err on the side of inclusion.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 06:22, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Even in the sources presented above for keep votes, there is only a passing mention and largely focused on the Wikimedia side. It would be suitable to include details of Najjar at the Wikimedian of the Year article in this instance. I also think this is not a borderline case unless more suitable sources appear, but even if it was, we should err on the side of deletion so as to not see WMF be accused of naval-gazing (topics relevant to Wikimedia being given articles when equivalent unrelated ones are not). I'm also concerned that there's some CANVASSing. Kingsif (talk) 13:57, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A lot of the arguments in favor of "Keep" seem to be on the basis of WotY providing notability, and BLP does provide for this, with WP:ANYBIO #1: "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times; or". However, I haven't seen any arguments for how this is met; can those in favor provide such arguments so that we can properly consider them?
I would also like to echo Mz7 and pushback against the concept of "GNG" being just a guideline; I've always interpreted it in the opposite direction, that for something to be notable it has to pass GNG (or a subject-specific guideline), but it is a guideline because passing it doesn't guarantee notability, it just opens the possibility of it.
Finally, I would like to ask if anyone has found any further sources? At the moment, the only source that I can see indisputably passes GNG is the National News source (the interview may also pass, depending on ones opinion of interviews in regards to GNG and independence.) BilledMammal (talk) 22:45, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@BilledMammal: This article clearly meets the first two criteria of WP:ANYBIO. Wikimedian of the Year is a notable award not because we're biased Wikipedians but because it recognises the contributions by people to a project that attracts around 2 billion visits every day. If influencing billions of people is not notable, then I wonder what really is.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 09:19, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kiril Simeonovski: I don't think we can decide if an award is notable or significant based on what the award is for or who it covers; if we did, we would have to consider an award with ambitious scope but otherwise totally lacking in what we would normally term notability or significance, as notable and significant. I think we need actually evidence to prove an award meets ANYBIO #1 - just as we need evidence to prove an entity meets GNG, by the presentation of three sources that meet all five points. BilledMammal (talk) 22:14, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If an award is not notable or significant based on what it is for, I presume it's the coverage in reliable sources and, in that case, Wikimedian of the Year clearly passes given the amount of sources already in the article. As for GNG, it's merely a guideline as stated above but, even if we take it as a rule, this article doesn't fail to meet its five criteria.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 22:37, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I miscommunicated. Where I used the word "notable", I should have used the word "well-known". An award can be notable per wikipedia's criteria, but not sufficiently "well-known and significant" to confer notability on its recipients; we would need to establish that a given award does meet that criteria.

In regards to the five criteria, could you help me by providing the three articles that meet the five criteria? So far I've only be able to find one or two, depending on how one counts interviews? BilledMammal (talk) 00:51, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Andy has already provided reliable sources that confirm notability above.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 08:19, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The first meets GNG, but I think two and three fail the "significant coverage" requirement, as while they mention Najjar, that is all they do, with their coverage focusing on winners or honorable mentions of other Wikimedian awards. BilledMammal (talk) 08:42, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Serious question, have we asked علاء if he even wants this article on him? If he doesn't, there's a relatively strong argument to delete. I'm not chiming in either way other than to say that its worth asking the person involved their thoughts. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:30, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What the person subject to the article thinks about it is completely irrelevant. Lionel Messi may wish not to have a Wikipedia article but that doesn't mean we should delete it. We add content based on what is in the reliable sources. Even if the person echoes the wish not to have an article and it appears in reliable sources as such, I assume that the opposition would end up in a separate section but it won't affect the article's existence.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 08:19, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE would suggest its not "completely irrelevant." Alaa is a "relatively unknown, non-public person", he's not Lionel Messi. The article on him on ar.wiki w:ar:علاء نجار redirects to the page on Wikimedian of the year; presumably if he was an extremely notable person to the point where we shouldn't take his thoughts into consideration, the project in his native language would have an article on him. I'm not actually arguing to delete at this point: I think that we've established that Wikimedians of the Year get an article as a precedent. At the same time, most of them are relatively unknown, non-public people. Since we know who they are and they're familiar with Wikipedia, if an article is being considered for deletion, it is worth asking them the question if they have a preference, and there is a policy justification for that. Basically I only commented above because I think from a human angle, we owe him the courtesy of pinging him and asking the question.TonyBallioni (talk) 19:55, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a bad idea to judge the notability of a "relatively unknown, non-public person" by asking him whether he wants an article or not. Once again, we decide about notability based on coverage in reliable sources and someone's personal preference doesn't put weight if it's a borderline case. Also, this may set a precedent that other people may hang on to in the future in order to influence what information to be included in the articles about them (Note: We've already had cases on some Wikipedias in which people insisted information about them to be censored.).--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 20:19, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're misunderstanding me: the policy says we can delete the article even if he's notable if he doesn't want it in cases like this. It doesn't say we have to, but it is a factor we can consider. I'm not saying we should judge notability based on it. I think it is clear from our standards that Wikimedians of the Year meet the inclusion criteria. Just because someone is notable doesn't mean we have to have an article, though, and yes, the privacy preferences of an relatively unknown person is something we should consider when its very easy to ask. If he doesn't respond, it'll obviously be kept, but I do think we at least owed him the ping. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:26, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see it exists as a possibility in our policies but, in my opinion, that's not something we should invoke in such cases unless the person is threatened because of the availability of some information in public and censoring that information is necessary for safety reasons.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 21:00, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, based on the discussion above; there have been no arguments presented for the Wikimedian of the Year award being a "well-known and significant award", per the requirements of WP:ANYBIO #1. I am also not satisfied that GNG has been passed, as no editor has been able to list three articles that meet all the requirements. I recognize this goes against the developing consensus, but it is important to note that WP:LOCALCONSENSUS applies. If it turns out that either of these two bars are met, please ping me and we can have a discussion about WP:BLP1E. BilledMammal (talk) 22:29, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

weak-keep but it's a tricky one. Breeding freshwater catfish is a niche hobby, but quite a large niche so far as its occupiers are concerned, and clearly Fuller is a big fish in the pond he's decided to cultivate. The trouble is, if your area is niche, it will only get published in niche places, so a person like Fuller is never going to appear in the Times or Guardian, it's always going to be in WeirdFishMagazine and CoryBreedersMag or wherever. I'd go for a weak-keep because (1) he's had a species named after him, which is quite an accolade; (2) it's impossible to find any website or fish magazine mentioning Corydoras without it mentioning Fuller's name (i.e. there are no independent sources because anyone who knows anything about Corydoras is a friend of Fuller's, but this very fact argues his relevance, if we consider freshwater catfish breeding to be notable); and (3) the alternatives of merging into Corydoras generally or Corydoras fulleri would unbalance those articles by putting too much Fuller-information into what should have been a Fish-article. I don't think Fuller is going to be easy to classify using WP's normal notability guidelines, because he's not quite a businessman, not quite an author, and not quite an academic; he's occupying a unique spot with a foot (fin?) in each.

Merge with Corydoras. This was a difficult one to evaluate for the reasons outlined by Elemimele, but in the end there's just not enough significant independent coverage for Fuller to meet Wikipedia notability guidelines. While, his work is considered important in his niche field, he doesn't fit WP:NACADEMIC, and much of his research isn't peer reviewed (only has a few hits on scholar). The coverage in the magazines don't meet WP:INDEPENDENT as they're written mostly by people within the same small niche (friends of Fuller). His work should be given WP:DUEWEIGHT in the articles of the fish that he researched, but I don't see a policy based justification for keeping a separate article for Fuller.

Owl Trap, Virginia[edit]

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

Frankly, I can't figure out what this site is/was. GNIS is sourced to a county highway map; topos show a road junction with little there. I found a single reference to the Owl Trap post office being in Mr. Dutton's store in 1920, as well as references to a modern housing development, a road junction, a vague "area", and a modern landfill.

So really, all I can determine is that the Owl Trap p.o. was in a store in 1920, that Virginia Country Real Estate was advertising Owl Trap as a housing development in 1992, and that talks about putting a landfill here evidently started in 1993.

The result was keep. user:Sheijiashaojun, I have not read everything you have posted, that might make me a bad admin but the little I did read seemed to be making the same points over and over. If you want to be listened to, try and be more succint next time.

Much of the discussion revolved around whether or not the journal was indexed in a selective database. My reading of NJOURNALl is that it does not have to be in order to meet NJOURNAL, (but if it doesn't it is likely to fail NJOURNAL). However, a GNG case has also been made, and if that succeeds then the NJOURNAL status is a moot point. Two sources were put forward for GNG (Columbia and China Heritage Quarterly). No argument was put forward that these sources were not sufficient for GNG (but a third source, a French review, was deemed insufficient depth). There is therefore enough put foreward in favour of GNG without opposition for this to be keep. SpinningSpark 18:26, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article does have independent sources, and history citations are always low, so these citations from Google Scholar are plenty. Editors and contributors independently notable, produced by a national public university. Selective databases skew recent, because there were no such databases in 1970s and 1980s when this journal was most prominent (note the name change, Papers on Far Eastern History is the former name), though I do note that it is patchily carried by which is a selective database, albeit one limited to Australia: https://search.informit.org/journal/eah. . Meets all three criteria for WP:NJournals (Criteria 2 below) but most prominently meets Criterion 3 as a journal of historical importance in Australian Asian studies, since it predates the current major journal, Asian Studies Review, or the main Asian Studies association the Asian Studies Association of Australia hence keep.

Comment For the editors and university being notable, see WP:NOTINHERITED. Concerning the "historic importance": are there any sources that show this? AS for the citations, those would not be enough to make a single academic notable, let alone a whole journal. As for the "recent skew" of databases, that is incorrect. Most databases, including GScholar, go back many years. I appreciate your efforts, but unfortunately your arguments fail to convince, sorry. --Randykitty (talk) 07:04, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment When this is a substantial part of the output of a university centre, or of the academic work of editors, it is notable. I don't see why WP:NOTINHERITED would apply, because work on the journal is constitutive of their notability, not incidental. Historic importance is shown in article for instance by the early publications of Igor de Rachewiltz's translations of The Secret History of the Mongols, first published there. The history of East Asia is a low citation environment, especially in English, and Google Scholar is useless for Chinese and Japanese sources. Most databases are hopeless on pre-electronic journals like this one. You are acting in good faith, but I don't think you have an accurate read of what is notable in Asian studies or history. Note also considerable citation in books, especially in works on East Asian History in the 1970s-90s. Clearly professional historians have long regarded it as a reliable source. https://www.google.ca/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=%22papers+on+far+eastern+history%22 Sheijiashaojun (talk) 08:49, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What you need is a reliable source that comments upon the role of the journal in publishing that secret history. Or sources that comment how the centre is notable because it publishes this journal. Finally, please note that being a reliable source has no bearing on notability. We have lots of RS that are not notable and lots of unreliable sources that are. The correlation is zero. I won't comment further, it's all been said, let's give other editors the chance to chime in. --Randykitty (talk) 09:46, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And I have given that reliable source: An article in Mongolian Studies (another notable journal that could use a page) and another from Monumenta Serica. I have furthermore given sources from Columbia University and University of Sydney citing about the journal as well as mentions in articles in Republican China and in a publication from the Australian Academy of the Humanities. Wikipedia's own page on The Secret History of the Mongols mentions it, giving sources, and I didn't put it there. It has not all been said, and I think I should point out where we differ, because it would be a shame to lose a page. Information about peer-reviewed journals is useful to scholars and students of history. Books and journals are where historical knowledge is recorded, and it is important to understand the context of those publications. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 12:18, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article in Mongolian Studies is about the "Secret History", not the journal. Our article on the "Secret History" doesn't mention this journal either (not that it matters, WP cannot be used as a source for itself). --Randykitty (talk) 12:29, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not correct on either count. Quoting from the Wikipedia article on the Secret History: "between 1972 and 1985, Igor de Rachewiltz published a fresh translation in eleven volumes of the series Papers on Far Eastern History accompanied by extensive footnotes commenting not only on the translation but also various aspects of Mongolian culture." The MS article is about Rachewiltz's book, but you said I needed a citation showing the influence of work in the journal. Quoting from the Mongolian Studies article, Rachewiltz's subsequent book was "a revision of quite similar translations of individual chapters published by the author during the years 1971-86 in the Australian National University's Papers on Far Eastern History" i.e. the journal that is now East Asian History. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 23:58, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move / merge and then Redirect I think there is encyclopedic content here and should be kept if possible, and given the current geopolitcal goings on at this time, is likely to be sought out by people looking for general information via wikipedia. As to INHERITED or not, if the centre producing the journal is not notable enough to have its own article then it cannot inherit anything, constitutive or otherwise. If the centre's broader notablility can be stablished, I would suggest that the content here be incorporated into an article about the centre, eg, the journal is one of the things it does, and this content and its references would contribute to establishing the centre's broader notability. Aoziwe (talk) 11:41, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The Centre does many things unrelated to the journal. It should indeed have an article, but that's not the one I chose to create. People interested in journals may or not be interested in the publisher, but it doesn't make sense to redirect notable books to the page of the press, and in the same way it won't make sense to redirect someone trying to find out the journal to a page about the Centre. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 12:12, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... it doesn't make sense to redirect notable books to the page of the press ... Agreed. The question here though is "is the journal notable in its own right", which I presume this AfD will decide. I was trying to suggest a way of keeping the content ... Aoziwe (talk) 12:19, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I understand and thank you for trying to help, but it wouldn't make sense. Please note in Notability Guidelines: "or journals in humanities, the existing citation indices and Google Scholar often provide inadequate and incomplete information. In these cases, one can also look at how frequently the journal is held in various academic libraries when evaluating whether C2 is satisfied. This information is often available in Worldcat: https://www.worldcat.org/title/papers-on-far-eastern-history/oclc/2265702&referer=brief_results; https://www.worldcat.org/title/east-asian-history/oclc/1120263121&referer=brief_results. Held by a few hundred libraries. It's what you would expect for a regionally notable history journal. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 12:31, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, library "holdings" are rather meaningless: the journal is open access, so many libraries will list it simply because it doesn't cost them a dime. It would be more meaningful if this were a subscription journal, because in that case it would mean that librarians made a decision to consecrate some of their (always inadequate) resources to this particular journal. But just putting a link on their website is cheap. --Randykitty (talk) 13:19, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That may be true for holdings of "East Asian History" but cannot be true of holdings for "Papers on Far Eastern History" since the name changed in 1990 and it has not been digitised. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 22:44, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the inclusion of Papers on Far Eastern History in the Bibliography of Asian Studies, which I verified by going in to check it. It's hard to show in any other way though, because EBSCO doesn't seem to keep a listing. I think the inclusion of the journal in this index may end with the name change in 1991. Anyway, I think this meets the 'selective index' concern, if for some reason one might think that Informit does not. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 23:58, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - I'm prepared to give this the benefit of the doubt, it looks like there is some notability and some useable content here. At the very least the page should be userfied (per WP:ATD) rather than outright deleted to enable the creator to find more sources (if what is said about sources from the 1970s and 1980s being stronger - which is likely to be true). Deus et lex (talk) 12:58, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 15:27, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no evidence of notability per GNG or NJOURNALS. I'm not seeing significant coverage in independent secondary reliable sources. This journal is not listed in any selective databases. Contrary to the contravening opinion above, these selective databases go back further than the year this journal was established. Also, this journal has been digitized all the way back to 1991 [23]. That means it has had at least 30 years during the "digital" age to garner notability.

In any case, journals were listed in selective databases before the electronic or digital age. Web of Science lists journals and articles all the way back to 1900. And Web of Science produces the Arts and Humanities Citation Index which itself has temporal coverage to 1975. Scopus has temporal coverage going back to 1788. So, if this journal was notable in its former iteration then it should be listed in selective databases under some related title. Also, having coverage in World Cat (library catalogs) does not denote notability. ----Steve Quinn (talk) 18:58, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This link was provided on the article's talk page [24] along with the claim this journal was notable during the 1970s and 1980s [25]. This link to Google Scholar is not evidence of notability during that period. The listed publications are issues of East Asian Studies. These are not independent coverage. And they don't discuss the journal's former iteration (Papers on Far Eastern History) in any significant detail. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 19:51, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the two bibliographies above, citing issues of the journal in its former iteration, or even the current iteration, does not demonstrate notability. These listings are just matters of fact. They are not independent sources providing independent significant coverage of this topic, which is needed to satisfy GNG or NJOURNALS. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 20:06, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Bibliography of Asian Studies is published by the Association of Asian Studies which also publishes the journal under discussion here. So, the Bibliography is not independent coverage. In contrast, Arts and Humanities Citation Index or Scopus would be independent coverage. And Google Scholar is not considered a selective database and does not indicate notability. ~~What I am seeing as a significant part of this AfD, is referencing the journal back to itself or its publisher and trying to claim these sources indicate notability.~~ And they do not indicate notability. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 21:09, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment With respect, there are several errors of fact above. The Bibliography of Asian Studies is published by the Association of Asian Studies; the journal is published by the Australian National University--They are not related. Independent coverage noted in the article includes articles from the Academy of Australian Humanities, the University of Sydney, Columbia University, and numerous other scholarly journals that are not affiliated with the ANU. In what sense are these not independent coverage? As to the question of index coverage--yes, Scopus, AHCI etc. sometimes go back in history with their coverage, but they are recent indices, and so when they indicate they are timespan they are covering journals the long histories of currently prominent journals, but won't cover a journal that was prominent in 1880 or in 1970 (and certainly not one that was prominent in Mexico or Japan). A&HCI was founded in 1978, Scopus in 2004, Web of Science would seem to be mid-1990s. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Web+of+science&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=26&smoothing=3&direct_url=t1%3B%2CWeb%20of%20science%3B%2Cc0#t1%3B%2CWeb%20of%20science%3B%2Cc0 But on principle, why would North American or UK indices determine the notability of an Australian journal about Asia? As for Worldcat holdings, note 2c of Notability: "2.c) For journals in humanities, the existing citation indices and Google Scholar often provide inadequate and incomplete information. In these cases, one can also look at how frequently the journal is held in various academic libraries when evaluating whether C2 is satisfied. This information is often available in Worldcat...Data on library holdings need to be interpreted in the light of what can be expected for the specific subject." Let me furthermore reiterate that it is included in two selective databases: The Bibliography of Asian Studies (which is US-based) and Informit, neither of which are its publishers or otherwise institutionally linked.

Sheijiashaojun (talk) 07:19, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It is actually not that important whether the Bibliography is independent or not. It strives to cover everything published in its field, so it is not selective in the sense of NJournals. As for the coverage in other databases, especially Scopus works hard at including journals that at one time or another were influential and covers lots of stuff that is older than when it was started. (As Steve mentioned above, it goes back to 1788). --Randykitty (talk) 08:03, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It is important if it is incorrectly asserted (and deemed a reason for deletion) that "is published by the Association of Asian Studies which also publishes the journal under discussion here. So, the Bibliography is not independent coverage." As for Scopus, it remains skewed towards the recent and the Anglo-Eurocentric. Is the Revue des deux Mondes in it? Angry Penguins? The Edinburgh Review? The Young Companion? It's just nonsense to suggest that everything of note will be found in Scopus. Further, the BAS certainly does not "strives to cover everything published in its field". Yes, it is a comprehensive resource "intended for students and scholars interested in any aspect, discipline or sub-region of Asia." https://www.asianstudies.org/publications/bibliography-of-asian-studies/ which means that the professional bibliographers of Asian studies deem it useful (and notable) for the academic study of Asia. BAS does not cover the vast majority of thing "published in its field" which needless to say is overwhelmingly in Asian languages. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 08:49, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The publications you mention are not academic journals but magazines and fall outside of the remit of Scopus and Clarivate databases. And with its wide coverage, it's ridiculous to assert that Scopus is "Anglo-Eurocentric". --Randykitty (talk) 09:43, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just pointing out that Scopus doesn't have some monopoly on notability (and ER and RDM very much were important scholarly fora in their day). East Asian History is indexed where you would expect it--in Asian Studies bibliographies and Australian academic databases. As to your other comment, please show me all the journals in Lao and Khmer that Scopus indexes. For its neo-colonial impact, see: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11192-012-0843-1 It's also a very doubtful resource for including many non-notable and downright predatory journals--because of its prestige, it's routinely gamed: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11192-020-03852-4 Sheijiashaojun But in any event, nothing needs to be demonstrated about Scopus since both coverage and other external sources and other indices meet the criteria. (talk) 09:54, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. With respect there are provable inaccuracies in the above statement that responds to my statement. "East Asian History" is a journal currently published by an NGO known as the Association of Asian Studies.[26]. It's right there according to that source I just posted. This was removed from the "East Asian History" article after I added it.

And The Bibliography of Asian Studies is also published by the Association of Asian Studies [27]. ~~This shows that this Bibliography is not independent coverage of East Asian History. The bibliography and the journal have the same publisher.~~ Also, this Bibliography is not described as a selective index as needed by Wikipedia standards [28].

I do agree it is a comprehensive database. It even describes itself as comprehensive: "The Most Comprehensive Western-language Resource for Research on Asia" [29]. Just because it ends up covering journals that cover a geographic area known as Asia, doesn't mean it is selective.

In the first line of our article: "East Asian History is a journal based at the Australian Centre on China in the World at the Australian National University." So what does that mean - based at a department at Australian National University? ~~That means nothing.~~ And there is no evidence that it is based at this department in ANU.

Please post a source here that says "East Asian History" is based at a department of ANU. By convention, we write who is the publisher of the academic journal is in our articles. To say that the journal is based somewhere is nebulous wording WP:WEASEL. ~~And removing my statement of fact about the publisher from the journal article taints the worthiness of this information on Wikipedia.~~

Additionally, no evidence has been provided that the current iteration, East Asian History, is published by ANU, as stated above. Please post a source or sources that say East Asian History is published by ANU, because there isn't a source posted in the article.---Steve Quinn (talk) 11:23, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What does this above statement mean? Independent coverage noted in the article includes articles from the Academy of Australian Humanities, the University of Sydney, Columbia University, and numerous other scholarly journals that are not affiliated with the ANU. Can you post sources here to back up this statement? I'm not sure you understand what is meant by independent coverage. I see that you wrote "articles" not indices. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 11:38, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

First, That link goes to the Journal of Asian Studies, a completely different journal, which indeed is published by the Association for Asian Studies and has no connection to East Asian History or the ANU. I reverted the edit because it is an error. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 11:40, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Second, several sources are given in the article to show that it is and was published by the ANU, including a submission to parliament: p. 105 here https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-1940330487/view?partId=nla.obj-1949620308#page/n114/mode/1up It is also on the journal's hompeage of course: http://www.eastasianhistory.org/

Independent sources in the Wikipedia article include from *Columbia http://www.columbia.edu/~hds2/BIB95/ch03.htm#East%20Asian%20History It seems to me that it both demonstrates notability and, as a Columbia review of Asian studies journals, cannot be impugned as an important independent source that rates the work as high-calibre. So I quote it in full: "East Asian History [Formerly Papers on Far Eastern History, through 1991] Published by: Institute of Advanced Studies, Australian National University, Canberra Type: Semi-annual - two volumes per year. Call no.: 1991-: DS501.E15; 1970-1990 (Papers on Far Eastern History, vols. 1-41): DS 501.A88. Library has: Papers on Far Eastern History, vol. 1 (1970) to 41 (1990); East Asian History, vol. 1 (Winter 1991) to present. Current issues on shelf. As Papers on Far Eastern History, this journal first appeared in March, 1970. Until the mid-1980s, it remained fairly low-budget in appearance. Its new incarnation, East Asian History, is fancier, with glossy paper and illustrations, higher-quality print, and footnotes printed conveniently in the margins alongside the articles. It was originally founded as a forum for the publication of papers written by the faculty and students of Australian National University, and this group has continued to represent the large majority of its contributors, although over the years there have been increasing contributions from scholars from other universities in Australia and abroad. Each volume of Papers on Far Eastern History included on its last page a short description of the contributing authors' backgrounds; East Asian History has foregone this service. Since the journal's inception, each volume has consisted of five or six academic papers, including full footnotes, and occasionally author's bibliographies as well. The countries covered have included Japan, China, Korea, and those of Southeast Asia. The heavy focus, however, is on China, and then Japan. A majority of the papers concern modern political and social history, though the magazine is certainly not limited to these areas. There are also translations from a variety of primary and scholarly texts, and numerous articles on ancient history, culture, and the arts, including literature, painting, and architecture. BOOK REVIEWS: Book Reviews do not appear.OVERALL EVALUATION: Though it gets little attention, the caliber of Australian scholarship tends to be quite high in many areas, and that appearing in this journal seems to be no exception. The first volume of East Asian History (June 1991) includes articles with such intriguing titles as "Concepts of Nature and Technology in Pre-Industrial Japan" (Tessa Morris-Suzuki) and "The Meiji Constitution: Theory and Practice" (Masuda Tomoko--trans. by A. Fraser). This journal is potentially an important source for all historians of East Asia, and should not remain "down under" in our list of consulted periodicals. INDEXES: There is no index to date of East Asian History, but a cumulative index (by author) to the entire run of Papers on Far Eastern History can be found in vol. 41 (1990)."

No worries. As to selectivity, Wikipedia doesn't define it. The bibliography certainly does select sources it deems useful and reliable for research (and exclude others as non-academic or non-reliable). I suppose what degree of 'selectivity' constitutes 'selective' is a matter of opinion. I wrote the entry because I work in the field (but not at ANU and have no affiliation with the journal) and it helps to clarify the history of Asian Studies in Australia. I think it can be useful to this admittedly small field; I don't see what's to be gained by deleting things that are notable, even if it is only regionally and to specialists. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 11:54, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but Wikipedia does define selectivity for itself such as selective databases, which I posted a link for above: [30]. The founding of Science Citation Index, Web of Science, and Scopus has nothing to do with being listed in these databases. Temporal coverage matters more. But it probably means this journal did not apply to be listed in Web of Science or Scopus databases. I'm sure not every Academic journal feels the need to apply to be listed, and to see if they make the cut. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 00:44, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What I mean is that the term 'selective' is not defined, it is simply opposed to 'comprehensive.' If it means 'selected by specialists and excluding other materials' then BAS qualifies. If it means 'Not including all relevant academic materials' then both BAS and Informit qualify. If the point is 'not simply sourced (like Google Scholar) without vetting', then both qualify. Simply opposing it to 'comprehensive' is not very clear, since databases such as Scopus (which WP defines as 'selective') also call themselves 'comprehensive.' https://www.elsevier.com/en-au/solutions/scopus Sheijiashaojun (talk) 01:28, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To address your earlier concern about weasel words, I have changed it to read that it is published by the ANU without reference to the Centre (where contact is listed, and where the editing at least is housed). You can check that in the front matter here. http://www.eastasianhistory.org/sites/default/files/article-content/44/pdfs/EAH44_Preface.pdf

Selective is defined on Wikipedia for Wikipedia. There are the selective databases to which I linked above, and Wikipedia's notability criteria are also selective. There is nothing in polices or guidelines that lends itself to the idea that "selective" is in opposition to "comprehensive". Selective should be seen or defined based on this project. The BAS has not been determined to be a selective database according to Wikipedia standards. The definition you have provided is a made up rationale - in other words it is WP:OR. Every organization has its standards or it will fall apart. Same with Wikipedia. And I have been noticing a lack of concern for Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, which describe and characterize our standards. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 20:53, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am following the WP guidelines by my lights and as I understand them. I am not trying to make up some new rationale; I am trying to interpret what WP says about selective databases/indices. From your links and Randykitty's all i see is "The most typical way of satisfying C1 is to show that the journal is included in selective citation indices, indexing services, and bibliographic databases. Examples of such services are Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Scopus. Being included in comprehensive (i.e. non-selective) indices and services like Google Scholar and the Directory of Open Access Journals are not sufficient to establish notability." That gives examples but does not define selectivity, except in opposition to comprehensiveness. That binary doesn't hold. So what is the definition of selectivity according to WP? Please give it here, because I am unable to find it. In any way I can interpret 'selective' in ordinary terms, BAS and Informit are both selective. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 03:22, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Selectivity can be seen as technical term on Wikipedia. It is not merely the dictionary definition. Selectivity reflects the view of the following databases: The Web of Science databases have a vigorous and proactive selective process that is ongoing. There are teams of editors who are specialists in their field and have deep knowledge of the journals in their area.

Web of Science has an ongoing process of selecting journals that meet their standards and weed out the ones that don't. "...24 quality criteria designed to select for editorial rigor and best practice at the journal level, and four impact criteria designed to select the most influential journals in their respective fields using citation activity as the primary indicator of impact." [31].

"Any journal that fails to meet all 24 quality criteria will be removed from the Web of Science Core Collection." [32]. Also, the Journal acceptance rate is "10-12% for the three core indices - Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Science Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index." [33] and so on. Scopus also has a rigorous selection process. It has an independent Content Selection and Advisory Board (CSAB). [34].

Also Scopus has been giving Web of Science a run for its money. Here is a linked paper on that - just click on the title: Zhu, J., Liu, W. "A tale of two databases: the use of Web of Science and Scopus in academic papers." Scientometrics 123, 321–335 (2020). doi:10.1007/s11192-020-03387-8. This paper at the outset says: "Web of Science and Scopus are two world-leading and competing citation databases."

I haven't had the chance to look up Chemical Abstract Services (CAS), but this is also supposed be rigorously selective. BAS and Informit do not seem to have these kind of processes. There is nothing that says they do. It would be misleading to say BAS and Informit are on par with these other databases, or have the same status on Wikipedia. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 04:25, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nowhere have I claimed that either is "on par", nor would that be relevant because that is not what the guidelines say. I have merely claimed that Informit and BAS are "selective", because that is a "typical" way of showing notability. Informit is "expert-curated" https://lthj.qut.edu.au/information/librarians (i.e. selective). It is also the "leading dedicated source of authoritative research from Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region" https://www.nswnet.net/vendors/rmit-publishing. BAS is the "standard bibliographic tool for Asian studies" http://www.nccjapan.org/eresources/guides/bas_guide_04-07.pdf . This was even truer in the period where this journal was most prominent, since the indexes you are citing didn't yet exist. I don't think you can assert that there is a different technical definition because none is given in the notability guidelines, and Informit and BAS demonstrably both select their sources. I do have reservations about Scopus and Web of Science for disciplinary, linguistic, and geographic bias, but they are also not relevant here (nor is the linked paper on their relative merits relevant, no one is disputing their selectivity). But even if it were really decided that these two were not selective (despite there being no definition given), this would still apply: "2.c) For journals in humanities, the existing citation indices and Google Scholar often provide inadequate and incomplete information" and WorldCat etc. can be consulted, and I have provided them. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 04:56, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Final comment. I think that the case for deletion has been clearly laid out. The case for keeping, despite the production of huge walls of text, misunderstanding of WP policies, wikilawyering, and general muddying of the waters is much more shaky, although I don't envy the poor admin who'll have to wade through all that stuff. Just one final remark (although I fear that it will cause another multi-paragraph diatribe): Yes, WP determines what constitutes a reliable source and what is or is not "selective". Only if we judge that a source is reliable and establishes notability do we use it to base an article upon. --Randykitty (talk) 14:10, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The case for deletion depends on ignoring the multiple independent reliable sources--the Journal of the American Oriental Society, Monumenta Serica, the obituary from the Australian Academy of Humanities, the specialist resource from Columbia, among others-- that have been adduced. Even if it is decided that "BAS" is not selective, Informit is, and in any event inclusion in citation is only the "most typical" was of proving C1, but it can also be shown from the independent sources. But C1 is moot if C2 is satisfied. Again, 2c: "For journals in humanities, the existing citation indices and Google Scholar often provide inadequate and incomplete information" therefore other sources have been adduced. As for "general muddying" or "wikilawyering," it is only reasonable to respond to calls for deletion that one thinks erroneous or ill-founded (the largest 'wall of text' was in response to Steve Quinn's challenge above to produce sources here), and the casting of such aspersions is hardly congenial to building a collaborative Wiki community. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 19:36, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, looking at the sources, the article seems to pass. Looking at other journals articles, they only have 2 sources (e.g History and Sociology of South Asia and Central Asian Review). So I think the article should be kept. Sahaib (talk) 07:32, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It's a bit dicey to look at other articles. History is indexed by Scopus, a clear meet of NJournals. I don't see any evidence of notability for the CAR, so I have [[[WP:PROD|PRODded]] it. Sahaib3005, I would appreciate if from among the many references listed in the article you could tell us which one(s) offer an in-depth discussion of this journal meeting GNG? Thanks! --Randykitty (talk) 09:37, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The standard for GNG is not "in-depth" but the following: " "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." I think the Columbia source and the China Heritage Quarterly Source would meet this, but most of the conversation here has not been around GNG but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academic_journals), which the journal in my view more clearly meets. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 10:44, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

for Randykitty it may be of interest that East Asian History and Papers on Far Eastern History are featured in EBSCO Historical Abstract coverage as well: https://www.ebscohost.com/titleLists/hah-coverage.htm. You link to the EBSCO databases yourself on your Talk page under Links/References, so I gather you think it's a selective index. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 11:59, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

EBSCO databases are not selective in the sense of NJournals. And given your tendency for WP:IDHT this is the last time that I'll respond to you, so please don't ping me again. --Randykitty (talk) 12:20, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This has been hopelessly bludgeoned by the article creator, for which I've given them a slight admonishment. I invite somebody more adept at navigating atrocious walls of text (this page is at almost 60 kB) to take a look, since I'm not making too much sense of it at this point in time. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 12:43, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, apologies for that. I hadn't been on AdF before and only came when the article was ~~(some might say overzealously)~~ nominated for deletion, and didn't know the process or the etiquette too well. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 19:13, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It would be best not to point fingers. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 11:33, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. This has been WP:REFBOMBed to the point of making notability difficult to discern, but I think the Columbia bibliography and China Heritage Quarterly references (footnotes 5 and 11 of current version) are independent and in-depth enough to barely meet WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:30, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's in Web of Science 1975-88 (as "Papers on Far Eastern History," its name at the time) As far as I can see, WoS doesn't give its historical indices without going through a uni site, but anyone with access to WoS can verify by searching that name or if with a Clarivate account perhaps by this 'query link' https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/summary/09d45c66-f292-40af-862c-820d50359740-051076c6/relevance/1.

This is incorrect. There's an important difference between "citing works" and "cited works". The former are included in a citation index, the latter not necessarily. The list of abbreviations are "cited journals" and many of them will only come up in searches because an article published in the journal was cited by an indexed journal. As far as I can see, this journal is not included in any of the databases to which WoS/WoK gives access, nor was it ever (neither under the current name nor under the old name). Despite all the efforts above, this still fails NJournals and GNG. --Randykitty (talk) 07:22, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see that Randykitty is correct about the list link, sorry I misunderstood it. I don't think it's correct about the Web of Science Core Collection index itself...But if you go into the actual Web of Science Core Collection, the articles are all there, 1975-88, whether they've been cited or not. Below is an example (sorry about the wall of text, but it's accessible only through login and it gives the whole record for this and all the other articles in Papers on Far Eastern History, and it looks like articles included from any other indexed journals). Please note the Journal Master list is no guide for historical inclusions because it is for those that are currently indexed, not those that have been indexed in the past https://clarivate.com/webofsciencegroup/solutions/master-journal-list/. I encourage those with uni access to have a look through Web of Science Core Collection itself, 1975-88 for this journal is fully indexed. https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/WOS:A1984AAP5200002 :

Delete and comment I'm swayed by Randykitty's arguments about NJOURNALS as there's no one more familiar with that. Also, Sheijiashaojun please be mindful of WP:BLUDGEON.

Comment But for whatever reason, randykitty is mistaken, despite their acknowledged expertise on NJournals and many contributions. That's fine. But please go into Web of Science and search by accession number. e.g. A1977EF70800002 or A1977EF70800006 or A1978GL25600010. It just is indexed. If on the other hand you search for CHINOPERL which is not indexed but appears in indexed articles, you just get the kind of search hits Randykitty is talking about. So...what can I say? It's indexed for that period. Check it by going into Web of Science yourselves. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 18:10, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia discussions are about forming a consensus, not convincing everyone to agree with you. Not every rationale has to be explained in excruciating detail, on-demand. The fact that you have a question, concern, or objection does not mean that others are obligated to answer, much less satisfy you with their answers. Consensus does not require unanimity, and attempting to argue the community into submission tends to backfire. Star Mississippi 18:16, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Surely consensus can only be built when people present evidence and other people look at what that evidence shows? It was evidence that hadn't been presented that speaks to indexing, and no one as yet has checked the accession numbers which show it. I don't see any other way to bring it to people's attention, so...check the accession numbers in WoS.

I was asked to comment: One has to look at the actual Master journal list, [[35]]--doing so, I find theat neither East Asian History or PAPERS ON FAR EASTERN HISTORY is not listed. This comes about because is a paper in a listed journal (called a citing journal) might refer to a paper in this particular series. (a cited journal).

Since I don't want to misinform, and was beginning to question wonder if I was using the Web of Science database incorrectly, I wrote the Clarivate customer service email and asked them to clarify what the situation was, and whether there was any external resource I could show demonstrating that it had been indexed. Clarivate, which owns Web of Science, wrote back:

"Thank you for contacting Clarivate.

I am consulting with my Internal team if the requested information is available for dissemination. I will update you once I have feedback from my team.

In the meantime, I have checked in my internal system and see that the journal, "Papers on Far Eastern History, ISSN: 0048-2870" was indexed in Web of Science under ARTS & HUMANITIES CITATION INDEX from 1977 to 1989.

I hope this information manages to resolve your query. Please bear with us during this time.

I will forward the email to anyone who likes on request, or you could call the Clarivate number or the Clarivate customer support clarivate.customersupport@clarivate.com. Or...one could search "Publication title" or the accession numbers I have given (it isn't on the Master Journal list, because that list is only for currently indexed journals). Clarivate says it was indexed for those dates, and Clarivate should know. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 04:15, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- as Sheijiashaojun pointed out to me, I cannot rule with any resource now available to me. out that it was covered in earlier years . I consider the response from Clarivate settles the issue--we cannot use such information in the article but we can here in deciding about it. The best way to find something we can use is from a printed set of the index for those years, if anyone still has them. But in any case:
Keep. It is clear from other information that it is a significant journal in its field, and out coverage policy for journals is very lenient. Our standard of indexing in general indexes fails to a considerable degree outside the sciences, for some of he most important publications in some fields of the humanities--especially anything published about less-studied countries and cultures are indexed only in specialized indexes, it being assumed (in pre-Wikipedia days) that nobody except specialists would be possibly interested. We have changed all that. DGG ( talk ) 04:27, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also did a search on the Web of Science Master list a few times and came up empty. The assention numbers above don't work either. Also, the JSTOR article linked above is a one paragraph mention and does not discuss the journal in any kind of depth. It is more like a notification. So, it does not meet significant coverage requirements. Also, trying to find out about the former title of this journal is probably irrelevant because we are discussing this journal. Per NJOURNALS and other SNGs, Notability is not inherited.

And I don't agree with DGG about indexing services necessarily failing journals outside of science. "Asian" related journals are listed on the Web of Science. For example there is Art of Asia, China Communications, and China Perspectives. Maybe the problem is academic journals have to actively apply and then journals must meet certain standards to be accepted for indexing on the Web of Science. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 04:47, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, User: Steve Quinn. Thanks for your thoughts. It doesn't appear in Master Journal index, because that's only for those currently indexed. Did you select the category "accession number" in the WoS search? I'd be happy to send the Clarivate letter or the screen shots of the listings if you explain how (I gather there's no way of posting them here). It's the same journal, it just changed its name (presumably because 'Far Eastern' was going out of fashion); and at that point WoS decided it didn't meet its requirements anymore and stopped indexing, I suppose. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 05:12, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely keep -- To quote the journal website home page, it is an "international refereed journal publishing scholarly research"; that is of course not an independent source, but do we doubt it is true? History journals do not feature well in citation indices, because (1) the citation indices were initially designed for science, not the arts (2) history journals are commonly citing primary sources, rather than the work of other scholars. It is often difficult to find independent sources on Academic journals (and learned societies), because they do not get reviewed. The best test would be whether articles in the journal are being regularly cited in other works. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:29, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Peterkingiron, any journal (even predatory ones) can and will claim to be an "international refereed journal publishing scholarly research". And counting citations is very subjective (and, again, even predatory journals will get cited). So should we do away with NJournals and ignore GNG and never take an article on an academic journal to AfD again? --Randykitty (talk) 13:50, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It is correct to say text from a journal's website is not independent. And this is because they are tooting their own horn. It is incorrect to say History journals do not fare well in citation indexes. On the contrary, Scopus lists History Journals. Clarivate produces the Arts & Humanities Citation Index which covers the History discipline. EBSCO indexes all kinds of journals. Here is a large list of history journals on Wikipedia derived from a number of indexing services and scholarly publishers. To see which services and publishers please read the intro of the article. Also, I guess the above editor is unaware that the work of other scholars are primary sources - derived from primary materials and that is original original research. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 00:51, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Clarivate wrote again, and welcomes anyone to write their technical support if they need further information about the historical listing of this journal (as Papers on Far Eastern History) in WoS: ts.support.asia@clarivate.com. User: Steve Quinn you are on record above (9 August) as saying that Arts & Humanities Citation Index is independent coverage, and that's what this journal is in (but not in the Master Journal list, which is only for current coverage). If you are unable to confirm this by using the index with the relevant search terms, or if you do not have access, than Clarivate will be happy to tell you so, or I can provide by screenshot or email forward at an address you provide.

Keep According to Worldcat, "Papers on Far Eastern History" is held in multiple libraries in the United States (in the midwest - University of Chicago, University of Minnesota, University of Iowa, University of Nebraska, etc.), far away from its publication location in Australia. The successor "East Asian History" appears to be equally well-distributed. This is enough for me to support a keep for this article. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 00:58, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above, why was the article nominated for deletion in the first place? It's already established that the subject is notable. User Persia has administrative access on the Persian wiki and deleted the article without a deletion discussion, probably COI. Misuse of SYSOP privilages as well.--Hevi (talk) 14:51, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hevi: Also read the sources before slandering. No matter how famous a person is, his article is not made in 7 projects at the same time.In many sources that have been used, the person in question has not been mentioned and in some, even his name has not been mentioned.And it is better not to play the role of a Detective in Wikipedia!. You must be held accountable for the accusation you made--Persia ☘ 15:37, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Persia, can you please list the sources where the subject is not mentioned as you claim? And last time I checked, there is no problem if an article is created in multiple projects at the same time so long it aligns with the local policies.
  Also, please stop threatening Wikipedia users. Your last statement constitutes as a personal attack, and such things are not tolerated in Wikipedia. Threats and intimidation do not work here. Épine (talk) 15:46, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Independently of what other people say, being an activist for LGBT in the Islamic world is dangerous, and I don't know many who live in the region, and openly propagate their views. That being said: A simple search on google for the name first turns up a zillion social media sites, before the first newspaper report on page 3 or 4 og the hits. With this in mind, and knowing that very similar articles have been posted to several wikis,I see more of a campaign. I don't say that it isn't important to also fight for acceptance of the LGBT way of life in Islamic countries. In any case: in my book, this person hasn't yet reached the level of notability required for inclusion. So delete.Eptalon (talk) 17:51, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your comment @Eptalon:, I think the ranking of the websites have to do with SEO of the media outlet rather than the notability of the subject you search for, also keeping in mind that there are multiple ways to search for this subject on Google, including in Central Kurdish (ژیار عەلی) or Arabic spelling of his last name (ژیار علی), so ultimately, this is not a valid reason to base notability of subjects on. Considering the heavy censorship there is in Iraq on this topic, I think a feat has been achieved by the press releases already listed in the article, which were very hard to get to.--Épine (talk) 18:37, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - I live in Western Europe, and used the Latin script name, as given in the article. I am aware that there may be issues such as different transliterations, and possibly country-specific (and even personally adapted) search results. Nevertheless: 3-4 pages of essentially social media before I hit anything remotely looking like a more or less independent journal article (which only mentions him in passing) is a clear indication, and can be one piece in a puzzle for notability. Eptalon (talk) 18:53, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Eptalon, that's the tricky situation, because we cannot determine the notability of international figures by searching for it in one language only. For example, what you may have missed during your search are this, this and this for example, which all extensively feature him. And like I said, where you find the journal reports on Google does not really say anything about the notability of the subject. You can easily find a bunch of articles by clicking on the news tab on Google without having to search through the pages. Considering it is a very common name in Kurdish, it is only natural that you'd see a list of social networks popping up the first few pages. Épine (talk) 19:14, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: as noted by Hevi above, I think Persia has a case of COI with the subject of this article. He has gone on a deletion campaign project wide, on Azerbaijani wiki, and on Turkish wiki, on Turkish wiki his edit was reverted by an admin because he marked the article for deletion under an invalid criteria. He also misused his admin privilages on Persian Wikipedia and deleted the article without any discussion or valid reasoning. He marked the article for speedy deletion in German wiki and used the same argument which Eptalon uses (meatpuppet?), saying it is "created across different projects at the same time", his edit was reverted as "incomprehensible reasoning". Eptalon, you support the deletion of the article because it was created across multiple projects at the same time, as you stated in German wiki, which is not a criteria for deletion. You should have waited for this discussion to have came to a conclusion before you have nominated the article for deletion in Simple Wiki or participated in the discussion in German wiki. You ignore the points I made and reinstate the same arguments you made here across different wikis. I hope you realize this is disruption.--Épine (talk) 12:31, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Another thing to note: subjects about Kurdish figures and Kurdistan had so much COI from mainly Arab and Persian editors that ArbCom had to interfere. Articles relating to Kurds and Kurdistan are still heavily disputed in Persian Wikipedia as well. It is an important thing to discuss considering the nominator is active on fawiki and most likely Persian. Épine (talk) 12:34, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fallacy, If I previously doubted that the article was customized. According to the user, I am sure that it was made exactly to order and in several projects at the same time. What does the political situation in Iran have to do with the fact that I am the director of the Persian section? First, they accuse me of abusing access to WikiFa, which has nothing to do with this discussion, and then they accuse Iranians of having problems with the Kurds! And since they think I am an Iranian, according to this argument, I have introduced a Kurdish-speaking figure to remove.--Persia ☘ 18:16, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - You nominating the article for deletion across many projects over a non-existent criteria proves the COI statement. Also your actions have affected other communities decision when it comes to the article, thinking about deleting the article because you placed the deletion tag across the page on many Wikis. Please stop and wait for a conclusion on enwiki first.--Épine (talk) 11:09, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I know that I don't edit EnWp much anymore: When discussing a deletion, let's focus on the page up for deletion, and its merits. Who created it, and who nominated it are irrelevant. Given that this page popped up on 5 Wikis at the same time may point to paid editing (which is difficult to prove). Besides being a LBTIQ+ activist, the person is also a singer/songwriter/musical artist. So they miight use the LBTIQ+ part to attract attention to his person. Eptalon (talk) 21:42, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Eptalon: I always used a template on the discussion page to declare my connectivity with articles as you can see in Wild Fire (band), so please let’s not make pointless accusations. I have been on Wikipedia for years and know how it works and know the rules around declaring paid edits or work, which this is not, otherwise I would have declared it. And please stop with the conspiracy theories, you can find out with a simple Google search that he is the only openly gay LGBT+ Rights activist in the region, and the article thoroughly talks about his activism instead of his musical career.—Épine (talk) 21:43, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify: After having read several of the for me understandable sources, I must admit that they often mention his comment on a moment during a crackdown on LGBT activists. Others were self published or tweets. There are other sources where he is portrayed more extensively but they are mostly not prominent ones. The fact that it was Zhiar Ali who many sources chose to cite, implies that he'll probably become WP:LASTING. There is also a lawsuit against his NGO Rasan going on. I am leaning towards moving the article to draft space in order to let the article grow instead of deleting it.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 22:18, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: there are no self published sources after the tweets were removed. As for the reason for the deletion on other wikis, Persia deleted the article on fawiki where they are an admin without a deletion discussion, same thing was done on arwiki even though it is a policy on both wikis. He nominated the article for deletion on all wikis under the same reason he has done here, and most followed through without further investigation except for Turkish wiki. On Swedish wiki the article is not deleted but drafted to improve the language further, simple English was nominated by Eptalon above under the same excuse Persia uses. I have previously created articles on multiple wikis at the same time, i.e. Lost Whispers (Evanescence album) and Wild Fire (band). This does not mean the subject of the articles are not notable and it is not an all a criteria for deletion. Épine (talk) 14:57, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Also Mardetanha is a WP:MEAT from fawiki as well.--Épine (talk) 15:03, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Épine, I respond on the self published part as I was pinged before: self-published was within the deleted text. Then I also find it interesting that someone is allowed to delete an article without discussion, but it's in another language wiki and doesn't concern the English wiki. I also can't really follow the arguments for delete, because it was created in several languages. My following comment is to be seen as an argument based on the sources I can understand. As to me Zhiar Ali will very probably become a notable subject (if he is not already). As a vegan and LGBT activist he has come to the attention to BBC and VOA in the international, Rudaw, MEE in the regional and The Vegan Review and the several LGBT focused journalists and outlets in the specialized press. But maybe we ought to give the article some time to grow to get a more prominent coverage. The big outlets often treat the same two moments, the one on his comment of the Asayish and the Rasan lawsuit. Besides his so-called journalism on Medium is more of a niche activism (3 followers) and as to me not worth a mention.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 04:00, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Paradise Chronicle, I understand your comments, and thank you for adding them here. As for the discussion, it is part of the deletion process on both Arabic and Persian wikis, but I think there are some off-wiki activities are happening because it was clearly a coordinated deletion campaign by Persia. I oppose deleting or draftifying the article and suggest letting it grow like many other articles in the article namespace. I am trying to find better sources as well and add them to the article. We can add the ((current)) tag to it. Épine (talk) 13:29, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify: I agree with Paradise Chronicle and Épine. Ali is quoted by multiple notable sources, but has yet to receive the substantial coverage that people on the List of LGBT rights activists have and fails WP:SIGCOV. The events Ali has responded to seem to pass WP:SIGCOV, but Ali is WP:NOTJUSTYET. Heartmusic678 (talk) 17:18, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CirKis[edit]

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

I have a few issues with the CirKis page, in as much as I cannot make a case for it qualifying for notability. The article gets off to a bad start by saying the product is no longer manufactured. Of course that is also true of many very notable historic products, but maybe it did not sell well.

There are two BGG reviews. But in this one (https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/456565/review-cirkis) the reviwer deleted his review. In the second (https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/820111/purge-47-cirkis-oh-great-abstract) the reviewer sums up his position as "Should I buy this game?: Yes if you like abstracts; no if you do not. I mean it is really that easy. This is a good abstract and if you wanted to try one this is very cheap, quick to play, and pretty good." Make of that what you will.

This video review (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZRASQ0G8kk) says it "is not a bad game" but it is "tedious".

This review (http://www.geekyhobbies.com/cirkis-board-game-review-and-rules/) says "CirKis is not a terrible game but it is also not a great game."

As far as a I can work out Tom Vasel has not reviewed it.

So no glowing reviews.

Now apparently it has won some prizes. From the Awards section: "Grand Prix du Jouet 2009 on TricTrac blog / The Creative Child Award".

I will look into the "The Creative Child Award" first. That link is broken and contains no information about a year in the URL. I did manage to find something in the internet archive for the broken link: https://web.archive.org/web/20080913174832/http://www.creativechild.com/toyfinder.html So just looking around Creative Child website it seems that they do not report on who they awarded prizes to in previous years. I did however find out how I should go about getting my creations considered for a prize. https://awards.creativechild.com/enter I think we should all take heart that the fee has been reduced from $150 to a mere $75.

That trictrac blog (in translation) starts: "As every year, the professionals of the toy profession come together to elect the toy grand prizes....." Again I was not able to find an official source for the 2009 winners, the tric trac reference does confirm it for whatever that is worth. However researching the prize I was once again I was able to find out how to submit my inventions. https://grand-prix.larevuedujouet.fr/spip.php?article5 I shall face the minor obstacle that my invention will need to be on sale in France, but the fee will be a much steeper 690 euros.

If you look at the image in the page it is clear that bith prizes were in 2009. In fact that picture has the following source: "We designed the product and took the picture here at Winning Moves. This is our own work." So from this we know that the major editor of the page (Joesequino - 87% by text) is associated with the company. There is a note about this at the top of the page dating back to March 2010.

So these prizes ... do they count as "major awards"?

So the final thing is that I had a look at the page of the inventor: Philip_Orbanes. It seems rather poorly sourced so I suspect it falls short of the BLP policy so I shall put in a delete request for that. Though I rather doubt there is anything libellous in it.Slimy asparagus (talk) 23:00, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've found a couple more reviews that don't appear to be associated with the subject: [36] [37]. However, I think the 1977 date is an error - the Winning Moves website suggests development began in 2008. Regardless, this looks like a quirky game and I feel it warrants an article on Wikipedia. NemesisAT (talk) 18:59, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Okay good catch on the year. Also if this page is going to be kept I think we need to cut the Awards section. I don't believe they can be probably verified now, and I don't think they were worth much anyway. So if the sources are considered reliable, and we have a definite plan for cutting out anything that cannot be verified, then I would be happy to withdraw the nomination. Slimy asparagus (talk) 23:53, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine by me. I would just take out any mention of winning an award. The sourcing isn't great but I feel there is just about enough, and it is an interesting topic. I'm not sure whether withdrawing the nomination is allowed however given another editor voted delete. NemesisAT (talk) 07:11, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I just checked WP:AFDHOWTO and I can't withdraw unless Piotrus changes his vote. Anyway before I change mine, I would like to be totally clear. Are you offering/promising to do all the work and on what time frame? Slimy asparagus (talk) 08:17, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the two reviews found, can we get an assessment of the reliability of the websites they are posted on? Is there any evidence of editorial controls? Some websites like this are just blogs posting user submissions. If all we have to go with are two borderline niche reviews, I am afraid this still doesn't meet GNG in my book (I'd be happy to consider changing my vote if it is shown that those are not niche websites, but I am not holding my breath). PS. Fr wiki has a link to one of the awards (Grand Prix du Jouet) [38] but it seems dead and IA is 'failing to fetch' at this moment, maybe one of you will have more luck following up on that lead (and fr wiki archive link is likewise broken for me [39]). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:35, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think we just going to remove reference to the awards. I already tried very hard to get good sources on the awards before I did the AfD. Specifically I was able to find out about the awards in general. They are both pay to be in the running awards. But they don't publish archives and the wayback machine did not archive them.

Did you look at the process for those awards? To be considered you have to pay a fee. And then they can't be bothered to keep records of previous year's winners. Slimy asparagus (talk) 14:10, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Holloway Terrace, Delaware[edit]

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

This is a borderline case, and I'm hoping someone can get further material for a history. Here's the problem: it looks like a very old suburb, and the only reference I can find that spells it out describes it as "old suburb", and everything else is passing mentions, other than a short bit on the firehouse page and the fact that I can find a Baptist church there. I'd like there to be more, but at the moment it is a century-old subdivision whose residents got together and put up a fire house. I don't think that's enough.

Delete Fails to meet any notability criteria in WP:NMMA. There's no evidence of significant independent coverage that would meet WP:GNG. Article appears to have been created by an SPA and is of questionable quality--"Mrs Le" for spouse and all references are to an ESPN database entry for "Cung Le" not "Thanh Le".

Abraham in the Catholic liturgy[edit]

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

Compared to the other subjects documented under Catholic liturgy, this seems to be excessive detail. It's kind of like an "In popular culture" section, except it's restricted to Catholic rituals. I don't think simply listing all the references to Abraham in such rituals is particularly encyclopedic, especially since in most cases Abraham is not a notable part of the ritual. All the important rituals having to do with Abraham are already covered in sufficient detail at Abraham#Christianity. -- Beland (talk) 20:34, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - According to JASpencer, the original version is from the Catholic Encyclopedia. This may also explain the high level of detail and some opinionated language in the current version. -- Beland (talk) 20:41, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

delete I do not think we need a list of name-drops in the liturgy, and that's pretty much all we have. And really, the CE article, copied into our space, is essentially as it stands constructed from primary sources— out of date at that, considering it's referring to the Tridentine and not the current rite. There might be something to be gotten from a theological work that actually discusses the matter, but that's more likely a matter of typology in general, and in any event it argues for applying some WP:TNT to what we have now.
