• Delete. Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. All we have are announcements of an event organized by subject, such as this, but not about the subject itself (there are plenty of these around); announcements, such as this, of events in which many organizations participate and among which is our subject; a report about a tribute to notable actor Nagesh, which happened to have been organized by our subject; and so on. It's all about other persons and events, indirectly mentioning Abbas. We just don't have the sources.

Dswitz10734 (talk) 00:01, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• @Dswitz10734: To respond to your first "argument", we couldn't care less if a razor company is "conservative". To your second point, we have actually explicitly determined (see WP:FOXNEWS) that Fox News talk shows are not reliable sources. This particular source is the disinformation agent Tucker Carlson who has spread bullshit Kremlin propaganda about American bioweapons labs in Ukraine. Finally, no we don't simply wait for sources to show up to justify an article (see WP:TOOSOON). Hope this helps. AusLondonder (talk) 13:17, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@AusLondonder, thank you for your time! About Fox News, this is a problem with Wikipedia. We don't like to cite conservative sources then complain when articles about conservatives don't have enough sources, which leads to deletion. I don't believe this article is the problem, only a symptom. I think we need to legitimize more conservative sources because an encyclopedia that claims to be neutral can't be neutral if they're only willing to cite one side of an argument. I hope to hear from you soon, Dswitz10734 (talk) 13:52, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Dswitz10734, No, it's a problem with Fox News, which has repeatedly shown itself to be unreliable in matters that involve politics and science, and especially their talk shows, and even more especially among these talk shows, Tucker Carlson. I consider myself a conservative, but if that means that I use a known fountain of lies as a source and pass it off to be true, that I am somehow being abused if someone calls that out. The problem is not with the person who calls out the lies, but the person who told the lies to begin with Jacona (talk) 14:23, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jacona thank you for your time! To what I said earlier, Fox News isn't exactly the issue. Fox isn't the only news site that leans conservative, others like Breitbart, The Daily Wire, and The Daily Caller are also not considered reliable by the Wikipedia community. Thanks again, Dswitz10734 (talk) 14:32, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sources are constantly classified and reclassified via consensus of all Wikipedians who choose to contribute. These sources are considered unreliable not based on their being liberal or conservative, but on whether they routinely publish inaccurate information. To this point, liberal sources, for example MSNBC, are considered (just like Fox) to be generally reliable on News, but not so on Talk Show content. For information about sources that are considered reliable, check Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. If you want to air grievances that sources you like are being mistreated, go Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. But this is not a forum for anyone to claim bad faith on the part of the community by asserting conservative sources are being persecuted by the community.Jacona (talk) 17:39, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Greetings, Dswitz10734. Let me address your points, if I may:

A. We actually do not delete "every article that pertains to conservatism." A casual walk among the lemmas should suffice, especially the ones pertaining to conservatism. See WP:NPOV for more.

B. FoxNews is not an unacceptable source. (See WP:RSP.) But it is one source. We need more and they must be reliable. Got any?

C. No, Wikipedia does not allow poorly constructed articles to stay up: They're either improved (as soon as they are identified as inadequate) upto the level where they're acceptable - or they're deleted. And, so far, no one has managed to improve this article's sourcing.

Rest assured there is no "anti-conservatism" conspiracy around here. -The Gnome (talk) 17:08, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge whatever can be salvaged onto the article on the Daily Wire and make this a Redirect to it.

Almost all sources are from the comic itself, and no third party coverage could be found. Web Cartoonists' Choice Award has been deemed in the past not to be a major award for the notability of a comic, and its existence means nothing if no third party sourcing exists. Last AFD in 2012 yielded a couple sources, but they seem to have gone 404 and don't seem to have been reputable anyway.

An ordinary person who apparently has an article because he holds a long-extinct (indeed, by now fictitious) title of nobility. Such titles do not confer notability, see WP:MONARCH. The contents of the article are almost entirely genealogical, see WP:NOTGENEALOGY. Nothing in the article suggests notability per WP:BIO, and a Google News search for his German name (Sigismund von Habsburg-Lothringen) reveals a grand total of one local newspaper article about him donating laptops to a primary school.

A nurse whose claim to fame and notability is that she worked with Hitler on his staff. Some of Hitler's entourage and staff are certainly notable, but she is one of the most obscure members of that group. Even through a ton of works have been written about Hitler, she was mostly forgotten, and only gave it seems a single interview in 2005, shortly before here death, that generated a bit of media attention, but nothing enduring. I couldn't find a single work about her that meets WP:SIGCOV. The BBC article here is the best we have, and it's pretty short. There may be something in this academic article ([5]) but I am unable to access it (paywalled/downoload limit exceeded). There is also a Russian probably academic-level article here, but it doesn't play nice with my machine translation tools, so I can't judge if it is of much help. I am not sure if we have a good merge target. I'll end by noting that our short biography of her does not suggest that she did anything notable in her life outside serving as part of Hitler's medical staff, so WP:NOTINHERITED logic is worth considering.

• Keep She gave two interviews, one in 1945. The interview was declassified in 1981 and shows up in a series of books because it conveys the final days in the Fuhrerbunker. The second interview is the 2005 Guardian interview. The interview itself was covered given the importance of her role in portraying the final days of Hitler's life. I added all those citations and the following sentence to the page

The notes accompanying the interview note that the final days of the activity within the Führerbunker was of interest to westerners and "none depicted the final days more graphically than Erna Flegel",^[1] and Helms himself notes the interview was "solid history".^[2] DaffodilOcean (talk) 03:54, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure if two sentences of commentary about her old interview pass muster at WP:SIGCOV... if anything, there is a chance her 1945 interview could be notable as a historical document, but she still isn't notable. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:17, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I was not clear here, the sentences about her 1945 interview I listed were to show the importance of the original interview. The news coverage of her 2005 interview with the Guardian is quite extensive, and was covered in multiple news outlets. DaffodilOcean (talk) 13:37, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DaffodilOcean Since the Guardian piece is not very long, is here something better I am missing? Can you list the best sources that you think pass SIGCOV? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:49, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Guardian piece (though I realize it is an interview) is 1600 words long.[6] Two other articles that pass WP:SIGCOV are the US News and World Report.[7] and the book Hitlers death: Russia's last great secret from the files the KGB [8] The article in Bulletin in Anesthesia History[9] would also pass SIGCOV. DaffodilOcean (talk) 12:36, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DaffodilOcean Thanks. The Guardian piece is problematic per WP:INTERVIEW/WP:PRIMARY, and I'll note it seems to contain no analysis by the journalists. The piece in the US News and World Report is not, I fear, SIGCOV - it discusses her report for a paragraph in a piece that is not focused on her. The book has even less, it doesn't seem to mention her report outside citing a fact from it (presumably), and otherwise just mentions her in passing as one of the bunker's residents. As for the Bulletin, do you have access to it? Each time I try to access it (over several days) I just get the 'Download Limit Exceeded' screen. If you can access it, can you provide a description of the coverage, or quote it? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:47, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since WP:SIGCOV says that ".. does not need to be the main topic of the source material", the two paragraphs about Flegel in a article on the Allies role in World War II is relevant and SIGCOV.

The interview is interesting since the fact that she gave the 2005 interview was picked up by the Associated Press and stories appeared in the news of multiple countries. I have added these stories to the article.

I also added details from two articles published in the Bulletin of Anesthesia History (one linked above, and a second that is the first part of the work published by Defalque). These two articles discuss Flegel and her work with Ernst-Günther Schenck. DaffodilOcean (talk) 13:06, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jerome Corsi's 2015 book adds details about the intelligence community's response to Flegel's about the caskets holding Hitler and Braun (in the page), and I have added coverage from Jonathan Mayo's book on Hitler's final days. All of this adds up to WP:BASIC. Also, given that she was in the final group of seven people in the Führerbunker when captured by the Soviets makes her an historically relevant person, even if nothing is known of her life between the 1940s and 2005. DaffodilOcean (talk) 13:11, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DaffodilOcean Thank you for expanding the article. While I am still not sure we have much SIGCOV here, there is arguably a lot of borderline SIGCOV then when added together do make it an interesting case.

Originally, I was thinking her short bio information could be transferred to another article, such as Dr. Ernst-Günther Schenck or Dr. Werner Haase. But, I decided to wait to see what might be further developed, before replying here. I was already aware of her and her portrayal in the film, Downfall.

WP has hundreds of thousands of articles on obscure artists, academics, singers, activists, etc who have a few ephemeral/local sources, but here it wants to reject an individual whom fate placed at a pivotal time in world history and who has thus appears in literally hundreds of books (do quick G book search), who has been portrayed in historically-based movies like Downfall, who has been interviewed extensively by news organizations like the Guardian.

• Comment - It is indeed not an established theory, but that's not quite enough to justify deleting the article. Dick (2010), Web Science and society: Towards a theoretical foundation for an emerging field of study notes that Tetlow's idea was attacked by Tim Berners-Lee in the context of establishing the Web Science Research Initiative. So it's possible that the idea might be encyclopedic or that there is a reasonable merge target for at least some of the material. I'll look into this. — Charles Stewart (talk) 20:31, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Web science. While I don't think there's the SIGCOV to support a decent independent article, Tetlow's proposal of web life was made in the context of a reasonably visible and influential contribution at around the time that the WSRI was being established. We could reasonably incorporate this material into the article, split between new sections on the history of the subject and the web life proposal proper. — Charles Stewart (talk) 09:27, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - If Brunnock's claim that the article is documenting unrelated contributions, that would argue against my merge proposal and suggest we should do a TNT delete of this material on SYNTH grounds. However, Tetlow cites Capra in his 2009 Investigations into Web science and the concept of Web life and Capra's ideas are obviously in tune with Telows. (The citation of Nitja is an aside which I didn't look into). It's also true that web life is a fairly kooky-sounding proposal which might give grounds for WP:DUE concern about the fit of the two materials. But web science generally is home to a lot of kook-adjacent material: I'm inclined to think we just merge it and DUE-ness can be recovered by pruning. — Charles Stewart (talk) 09:27, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Capra's Web of Life was written in 1996 and makes no mention of the World Wide Web or the Internet. It even says at the top of Web life, Not to be confused with Web of life. — Sean Brunnock (talk) 11:06, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• To be clear, Capra's work does not count as SIGCOV for the idea since it is not documenting the topic of the article, but a merge does not need the existence of SIGCOV, only that the content is encyclopedic. I was arguing against a potential objection to the merge on the grounds that Capra's work is irrelevant and perhaps SYNTH. What do you think of the idea of merging? — Charles Stewart (talk) 11:20, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - That sentence from FRINGE seems to be misunderstood: it states a reason why it is important that we follow our policies on verifiability and neutrality; it does not say what fringe science consists of or how we should handle material that does not deserve its own page. For that, the guidance is "Ideas that are of borderline or minimal notability may be mentioned in Wikipedia, but should not be given undue weight". Merging seems to me an opportunity to improve the web science article: while the web life hypothesis has not seen significant uptake, the broader class to which it belongs, that the web has significant emergent properties, was an important idea at the time the discipline of web science was taking form and still sees continued development. A merge outcome is not promoting the work of a kook: Tetlow is a respectable member of the web science community, one of the first distinguished lecturers at the Web Science Institute, one of the two founding departments of the Web Science Trust research network [11], and Tetlow's book saw substantial comment in the early days when the scope of web science was being established. — Charles Stewart (talk) 10:35, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• This insinuation misrepresents what I said and is beneath you. Wikipedia's content needs to be verifiable and our coverage of topics needs to be neutral. Deletion policy is a crude tool in pursuit of these ends: while not having articles on topics we cannot properly cover does help us, deleting reliably sourced content that is relevant to topics we can adequately cover generally does not. We do cover Pauling's fringe views on vitamin C and we do so through enforcement of our policies in regular editing, not deletion policy. — Charles Stewart (talk) 13:00, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Early_life_and_career_of_Joe_Biden#Other_experiences where this is summarized (though the name should be capitalized and we also have Corn Pops). Biden's anecdote got some coverage, but Corn Pop as an individual is not notable. I would encourage the author to keep in mind that "So was Corn Pop a bad dude who ran a bad bunch of boys? The world may never know…" is not an encyclopedic tone. Reywas92^Talk 20:59, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  The tone issue can be fixed, but with reference to WP:BIO1E, it seems to me that the following remarks are instructive: "a person famous for only one event may be more widely known than the event itself, for example, the Tank Man. In such cases, the article about the event may be most appropriately named for the person involved." Setting aside the question of whether Tank Man is somehow more important or more widely known than the events that day in Tiananmen Square, it is surely the case that Pop Corn is more important and widely known than Biden's campaign rally that day, an event that was pivotal in his campaign.

• Delete or redirect It's not written in an encyclopedia tone, it reads like an essay, plus WP:BLP1E CT55555 (talk) 21:12, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Answer to Comments If you looked at the citations, you would see that it is extremely likely that Corn Pop (with no s) was a real person. As to notability, I would say that when a former vice-president and major party presidential candidate declares you to be a "bad dude who ran a bad bunch of boys," and claims that you once threatened him with a straight razor, it makes you notable, especially when considering that candidate is now President. Last I looked, Squeaky Fromme has her own Wikipedia page. The suggestion that information about Corn Pop be redirected to Early_life_and_career_of_Joe_Biden#Other_experiences is hardly a serious one. It is not the main Wikipedia page for Joe Biden, and though it references Corn Pop, readers would only end up seeing that page if they stumbled upon it by accident. Moreover, the reference to Corn Pop is not hyperlinked, and thus cannot be found by any search. If reference to Corn Pop were added to the main Joe Biden page, it would be deleted without any discussion whatsoever in about 30 seconds and we all know that. Let me present a hypothetical situation: A comedian makes a joke about Joe Biden and Corn Pop, or a reference is made regarding both in a TV show or a movie. If a viewer was not aware of the significance of Corn Pop/Joe Biden, that person could enter "Corn Pop" in the Wikipedia search bar, and all questions would be answered. Or another hypothetical: A student of let's say middle school age is told to find information about Corn Pop for a school project. Both hypotheticals are classic examples of how Wikipedia is used on a day to day basis. As to encyclopedic tone, the final sentence in the article is admittedly snarky. But the rest of the article is absolutely balanced. It doesn't make undo fun of Joe Biden. Neither is it is written in a mocking manner. It presents the opinion of some that the story was told and used by Biden in a patronizing manner, while presenting the opinion of others, along with some documentary evidence, that Corn Pop was a bad who was a real dude.

• Response I have made edits to accommodate the three issues presented by Wikipedia editors with the Corn Pop story. I have re-written it in a more encyclopedic style, and have omitted any snarky or opinionated comments. I linked it to existing Wikipedia pages, and have also linked existing Wikipedia pages to it, so it is no longer an "orphan." As to notability, it was the topic of several weeks of intense media coverage, much of it very derisive towards Joe Biden, at a time when he was battling to remain a relevant presidential candidate. William "CornPop" Morris had far more than his 15 minutes of fame. He had more than 15 days of fame, though everyone at the time thought he was a figment of Biden's imagination. And again, the suggestion that it all be summed up in a few statements in the Early_life_and_career_of_Joe_Biden#Other_experiences page is not practical. Even knowing exactly where to look, it was very hard for me to even find the Corn Pop reference, and it had no searchable hyperlink. Perhaps if the text of the Corn Pop page were placed in the Early_life_and_career_of_Joe_Biden#Other_experiences page under its own title, say, "Corn Pop" or the "Corn Pop Incident" it could be given a hyperlink and thus show up in a Wikipedia search. As it is, there is no practical way to find the info, requiring interested individuals to abandon Wikipedia in favor of a traditional Google search. Is that what you want? I have one request. I inadvertently named the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_pop with a lower case p, and I do not know how to change this.

• LET CORN POP STAY - Let me get this straight So Joe Biden makes his Corn Pop speech in September of 2019 when everyone had written him off as a serious candidate. He was mocked relentlessly by media outlets for weeks on end. They all thought the story was a figment of goofy Joe's imagination. Thousands of Corn Pop memes circulated endlessly on social media. Yet one year later, Biden had survived and was poised to unseat a sitting president. You cannot deny that the Corn Pop story had legs. Countless people from both political parties used it to try to tank Biden's campaign. And now we learn that the tale was as real as Hunter's laptop. People once referred to the New York Times as "the newspaper of record." Wikipedia is now the world's encyclopedia of record. Somewhere there needs to be a searchable Wikipedia reference to Corn Pop so people in the future can know what this incident was all about. He is mentioned one time in the Early life and career of Joe Biden page, but there are no links to it, and it appears in no Wikipedia search. I created a separate page for this purpose because I knew if I placed additional Corn Pop info on the semi-protected Early life and career of Joe Biden page, it would last about ten minutes. When I did place it there, it was gone in less than three minutes. The Corn Pop page I created is fair and balanced. It is supported by legitimate sources. It is free of opinion, or mockery. It is in reference to an incident that went on for week on end that many tried to use to bury Joe Biden's candidacy. And to top it all off, Corn Pop was a real person. This article is at least as legitimate as the Tank Man article referenced in the People notable for only one event section of Wikipedia rule WP:BIO1E. I rest my case. Ray.lowry
• Delete Given that the "event" for Corn Pop was Biden mentioning him, he fails WP:BLP1E. Comparing this to the WP:LASTING impacts of Tank Man or Squeaky Fromme is a ludicrous whataboutism. Ray.lowry, please do not WP:BLUDGEON discussions. Your views are noted. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:33, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm sorry, but this isn't what Whataboutism is. Read the Wikipedia article on it. Whataboutism is when one claims that if x is wrong then y is just as bad or worse. But Ray and I aren't claiming that Tank Man is worse or a greater offense to the ideals of Wikipedia than is Corn Pop. Our point is that Tank Man is presented as an example -- a Platonic Form if you will -- of a case where it is good to include entries for individuals even though those individuals are primarily or exclusively known for being players in bigger events. The thesis is that Corn Pop played a critical role in a critical time period in Biden's campaign. Personally, I don't understand the claim that Corn Pop was not important. He was certainly important enough to Joe Biden to mention in a presidential campaign speech decades later. Are we trying to say we know more what is important to Joe Biden's life and campaign than Joe Biden himself does?

• Comment: I have changed the title to include the capital "P" in the title, to address an issue brought up by Reywas92 and Ray.lowry in the course of the discussion. It was necessary to disambiguate the title because Corn Pop presently redirects to Corn Pops. This should make it easier to create a redirect (which there is support for) if the page is deleted.

  Every subject of each article you have listed, the protests, lawsuits, even the subreddit, have been reported on the news a plethora of times and each article has tens or hundreds of citations, while Corn Pop has only had a brief spike of news exposure all because they got mentioned in a story told by Biden. Jurta talk 15:02, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  'The other guy has more', as if Wikipedia was about keeping score, is not a valid argument in a deletion discussion. Each article is evaluated individually. If there are unworthy articles that you think shouldn't exist, they too should independently be AfDed, not used as justification for retaining an equally bad article and hence dumbing down the whole encyclopedia to the level of its worst article. Agricolae (talk) 20:44, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This is beyond obscure. There's no way this guy is even close to notable unless you rewrite the notability guidelines to include anyone that a US president has ever mentioned. Pichpich (talk) 21:08, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This incident lacked the sustained coverage that would demonstrate independent notability overcoming WP:NOTNEWS. After Biden's term, when the unavoidable authorized and unauthorized biographies start to be published, we will get a better idea of the emphasis this particular anecdote is given, but at the risk of WP:CRYSTAL, it seems unlikely even then to receive sufficient converage for independent notability. Agricolae (talk) 02:16, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The article itself has huge problems with coatracking. It is way more about President Biden, than about Mr. Morris. Mr. Morris is clearly not notable. The fact that part of the article is devoted to proving he actually existed and is not a pure fabrication of Mr. Biden tells us just how non-notable he was. There may be an article such as Joe Biden Corn Pop Story that would be workable, but for now I do not see any reason to give that more coverage than we already do. Mr. Morris seems to have been dead before this became even a semi covered story, and so we have no actual coverage of him in this event, so an article on him is not at all justified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:51, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Go ahead and change the title to Joe Biden Corn Pop Story. The page is already listed under Category:Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign. Corn Pop may be obscure, but the incident surely was not. And if the incident is not mentioned on Wikipedia at all, did it ever happen? Has Eurasia always been at war with Eastasia? Ray Lowry 20:02, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Having a Wikipedia article is not the determination of whether something exists. This is not Google. There are clear policies about whether a subject has a Wikipedia article. Those policies have been cited extensively by those supporting deletion of the article. So far, your arguments have come down to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS ("That article exists, so why shouldn't this article exist"), WP:ITEXISTS ("By not having a Wikipedia article, we are denying it's existence"), WP:INTERESTING ("People who are interested in the subject will have to search Google instead of Wikipedia, so we should keep this article"), and to some extent WP:ITSINTHENEWS ("It was reported on in the news when Joe Biden mentioned him") (although that hasn't been the main argument in favour of keeping it). None of those are policies for keeping an article. Singularity42 (talk) 21:03, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article. For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" or "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. "Notable" in the sense of being famous or popular—although not irrelevant—is secondary.

Based on this, Mr. Kaplan is worthy of notice, as his history as a published caricature artist is remarkable and significant, having been published more than 5000 times across North America, as well as, being commissioned by television studios and broadway plays. He is an interesting and unique, and in turn, a notable talent. Gilligansisland (talk) 01:24, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Highly unencyclopedic and not notable. We don't normally have articles about elementary/primary schools, especially when they were just in the planning stages, and doubly so when plans to build them never actually eventuated. The only reason I'm nominating this for deletion is that there's no good redirect target. I initially thought of redirecting it to Kane Area School District but, even before my steam-cleaning of the district's article in response to long-term disruption, it didn't mention this controversy. Information about it was removed from the article about the borough it's in way back in 2018, because it was obsolete. I was almost tempted to delete this myself under ignore all rules; proposed deletion is too easily reversed for my liking (and the article creator has edited relatively recently), so here I am.

The Wikipedia article lists 8 citations and there are more that exists.

Reserving judgement since, well, I don't have the inclination to do a proper source search at this time of day. A more apt comparison of the Mexican government sources (for writing an article where the Mexican government is one of the two main actors) would be using Boeing sources for writing an article about, say, the Boeing 747. Maybe appropriate sources for statements of fact, but not good enough for notability. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 04:48, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Per Nom, who raises sound, policy-based arguments. Keep votes aren't based on policy or guidelines. Yilloslime (talk) 16:46, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  It is against policy to delete an article based on no embassies. There is an consulate staffed by an honorary consul. It is against policy to delete an article based on little trade. The claim in the initial AFD that the visit of the prime minister was for another reason is NOT supported by any citations. Charliestalnaker (talk) 01:54, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My policy argument is based on failing WP:GNG. Honorary consuls are really minor volunteer roles and definitely not as significant as a full embassy. LibStar (talk) 01:58, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Honorary Consuls being "really minor volunteer roles", this is definitely not true. Honorary consuls are sometimes involved in very time consuming work and pay for very significant expenses in running the counsulate. Once the Honorary Consul of Pakistan in Boston's hard work was brought to the attention of the President of Pakistan during a trip to the US. The consul was then promoted to Honorary Consul General as a result. Charliestalnaker (talk) 08:11, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

has this honorary consul to Samoa actually done anything that has been reported? LibStar (talk) 08:31, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another policy to seriously consider is If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page (Wikipedia:Deletion policy). Throughout the years, I edit the pages when relevant information comes in. As stated countless times, relations between nations evolve and grow and I will continue to improve each article that I closely watch. It would be helpful if you LibStar would assist in editing a page rather than proposing them for deletion because of the policy you choose to follow. Aquintero82 (talk) 21:32, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article about an organization, not properly referenced as passing WP:ORGDEPTH or WP:GNG. Except for one news article which glancingly namechecks this group's existence because a spokesperson for it gave a brief soundbite to a reporter on a topic other than this group per se, this is otherwise referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, such as press releases and the self-published websites of organizations that aren't media.

But not everything that was written by a sock or in COI has to go. This article does.

The result was keep. This could be closed as either a keep or a merge without much issue.

• Comment. The current article and its very disappointing reception section do not carry sufficient assertion of stand-alone significance to warrant keeping this per WP:GNG. Regarding the sources found by Daranios, the first one doesn't seem to have a SIGCOV analysis of her, although it may be sufficient to reference a single sentence saying that she has her character, described as not-stereotypical and not-meek, has been acknowledged (but in passing) in a gender-themed analysis of the TS3 movie. Arguably, however, she doesn't even get a dedicated sentence of analysis, since the topic is the relationship between characters (and so the topic of her relation with the male lead is discussed). The second source contains a few sentences or so of analysis, and is better. If User:Daranios would like to add them to the reception section, maybe we could keep this. Otherwhise, we can (soft) redirect this or keep so someone else can improve this... IMHO the notability right now is borderline. One more source and I might be convinced to vote keep (but right now I see one passable source, and one that's borderline, and that's just below my rule of thumb of two sources - note that I consider the current reception useless, as it covers the voice actress reception, not the character). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:50, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  I think Bo Peep's article is a good example of the potential of coverage from a gender-themed reading/perspective, and this is all very recent as a result of that character's appearance in Toy Story 4. Which does make me wonder why the same effort hasn't been made for Jessie, a character who has been more prominent throughout the Toy Story franchise's history. I think the real question here isn't whether Jessie is objectively notable, but whether a standalone page about Jessie should exist in mainspace if the coverage of secondary sources is this lacklustre and an entry about the character in List of Toy Story characters adequately covers all salient information about her. 19:49, 2 April 2022 (UTC) Haleth (talk) 19:49, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: There are several articles, magazines, reviews, books, podcasts, and shows discussing the character, and she even gave a CGI-present speech at the Oscars on her own, which could definitely pass Notability Guidelines alone. However, it goes without saying that it definitely needs a major cleanup, and if someone is willing to improve the article, I see absolutely no reason for it to be deleted. Moreover, the character even has won an award, which is also acceptable through Wikipedia’s Notability Guidelines (which was part of her speech at the Oscars). But, a simple and reasonable compromise could be moving this page to the draft space until it is complete. 2603:7081:2501:8692:29AA:F5D6:DEE2:1AED (talk) 04:03, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Strange to insinuate that the main female character of one of the biggest movies ever created is un-notable, while characters like a hammy sea witch, Ursula, get entire articles with no issue. Trillfendi (talk) 20:53, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  But there is hard evidence of significant coverage about Ursula, which demonstrates that the character is culturally relevant among certain segments of human society. I am not seeing anywhere near the same level of discourse about this character. As Wikipedia editors, we should not be solely concerned about the in-universe significance of fictional characters within a piece of media, and especially without secondary sources to back up her significance outside of it. Jessie is not the only main female character in the series, Bo Peep's appearance in Toy Story 4 seems to have generated a flurry of pop culture discourse that is more substantial then Jessie ever had throughout her entire existence. Haleth (talk) 20:05, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Ursula is a culturally significant character, especially in the Disney medium. However, I wouldn't argue that Jessie is less notable than her, probably even equal if you consider the praised reception Jessie has received since her debut. But Ursula has been around for some time and has been regarded as one of the best-animated villains, unlike Jessie, who has been listed as "underrated" in several review articles but still holds a strong reception. But, regardless, both characters have received significant coverage since their respective debuts. 2603:7081:2501:8692:E586:64A0:4D79:85BD (talk) 02:24, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep Look at what the Woody (Toy Story) article used to look like. It wasn’t as bad as this one, but it was pretty dang bad. I worked on the Woody article a lot to get to a GA and almost all the references I searched through when trying to raise Woody to a GA talked about Jessi in them too. I’m most certain that if someone actually put in the work and effort into this article, it could be a GA. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 12:47, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, Woody is the main character, and before you started working on the article (great job btw), the reception appeared to be fine already. Meanwhile, Jessie is just a supporting character, if I recall. The article has been neglected for a decade, and has very weak sourcing. Hence, I started nominating this article for AfD. OnlyFixingProse (talk) 13:19, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alright well I have updated the the reception section and there are still more refs that can be used. I think this definitely passes WP:GNG ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 21:14, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work right there. I also saw that there are other usable sources on article's talk page to be used. The reception section looks kind of good already. I'll stay neutral on this and will be withdrawing the AFD nomination when merge voters are satisfied with it. OnlyFixingProse (talk) 22:20, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you decide to withdraw the nomination, you should only do so after you reach a conclusion on your own that this article is salvageable, as opposed to gauging what other editors' potential response would be. Haleth (talk) 16:13, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relatively speaking, if you only consider the fourth films and tv series and spin-offs. Jessie, however, is actually a main character, third importance, actually (or tritagonist). Several review articles point this out. 2603:7081:2501:8692:E586:64A0:4D79:85BD (talk) 02:27, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per Zxcvbnm's argument. Two years ago, I have had a look before this current AfD to see if there's any coverage reliable secondary sources, and quite frankly there was barely anything of note. Jessie had a moment of prominence from her debut in Toy Story 2 but basically faded into the franchise's background in the years since. The nominator of the first AfD from way back in 2008 (which ended in no consensus) summed up the article's longstanding problems. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. More then a decade later, that clearly hasn't changed. I am not sure if I agree that this article should be considered for deletion, but unless a dedicated well-informed editor like Kaleeb18 puts in the effort now to actually demonstrate to us that significant coverage specifically about the character does exist, it should be taken out of mainspace and redirected to the list because it does not appear to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for a standalone page. Haleth (talk) 19:41, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Haleth Kaleeb expanded the reception sec, could you take a second look if its fine already? Not sure if this [15], [16], [17] and other usable sources on the article's talkpage are enough. OnlyFixingProse (talk) 22:20, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am opposed on principle to this article being considered for deletion to begin with, though it is understandable given the context that the page was subject to a brief edit war with one editor recommending that the page is taken to AfD to have the dispute resolved. As I have suggested before, the issue to deliberate on here isn't whether the topic is notable or not, but whether the article (still poorly written and constructed in spite of Kaleeb18's improvements) should continue to remain in mainspace given its ongoing content issues. Haleth (talk) 16:16, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge. Per arguments above. Jessie didn't received much attention unlike Woody and Bo peep. 2001:4455:30B:6C00:ADAA:DA9:F85A:604 (talk) 12:59, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? Jessie was a significant and central character in Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3 (even a more present character than Buzz), the protagonist of Toy Story of Terror!, a major character in Toy Story 4, and has appeared in numerous Disney media. She's literally labeled as the tritagonist of the franchise. Bo Peep on the other hand had only one significant appearance, and that was in Toy Story 4. Regardless, she's just as notable as Woody, and more recognizable and significant to the stories than Bo Peep. On the other hand, she literally received an award at the Oscars in 2000 (may I also note that she's currently the only Pixar character to win a non-voice-related award), so I don't know why you think she's not significant. Yes, obviously not as much as Woody, but she's really close, probably even equal to Buzz when you consider her significance in the third film and her spin-offs. 2603:7081:2501:8692:E586:64A0:4D79:85BD (talk) 02:16, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is not an Oscar, but an award from the National Cowgirl Museum from the year 2000. I agree that it is a sign of significance. Then again, the nominator's concern is that there aren't enough extent secondary sources which specifically discuss her in enough detail, especially from an out of universe perspective, but it doesn't look like there are any secondary sources which are interested in discussing the issue. Whether Jessie is the franchise's second or third most important main character is irrelevant if we are to consider to whether she should be getting a standalone page split from the main list of characters. Haleth (talk) 11:58, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my points exactly, actually. Just not gonna repeat everything that’s been said, but I wasn’t saying that it was an Oscar, I was saying that she was presented with the award at the Oscars — just to clarify. --2603:7081:2501:8692:6497:31A4:42C1:4A98 (talk) 16:20, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your assertion is still factually incorrect. The presentation for Jessie's animated speech for the cowgirl award was at the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame’s Annual Induction Luncheon on November 10th, 2000, not the Academy Awards that year or the following year. Haleth (talk) 17:13, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, I thought she accepted it during the Oscars ceremony? I’ll have to look into that further. After all, the same sequence from the Oscars is used, and she’s wearing her official Oscars Uniform. But, again, I’ll look at an archive recording of the 2000 Oscars to see if this is the case. --Lord of Fantasy (talk) 17:58, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's one secondary source which at least acknowledges that award, The Animated Movie Guide. In general I agree that we should focus on how much there is in secondary sources rather than compare with other cases. And for my part I am satiesfied with the sourced reception section as a foundation, just as Isabelle has summarized it. Daranios (talk) 18:49, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  I will say that, after checking the changes that have been made to the article since the AfD, I am still in the merge camp. A large portion of the reception is from listicles and trivial mentions. A lot of it feels like desperate grasping for any mention at all in any publication ever without any kind of clear and logical connection. SIGCOV has not been shown beyond a reasonable doubt contrary to the Keep !votes. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:26, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I actually wanna add on to this, as I forgot to mention something earlier. How come there’s no discussion regarding the character’s backstory (in reception, specifically)? It’s just occurring to me know, and I know that, for a fact, it has garnered a lot of coverage in recent years, specifically from WatchMojo, IGN, and Screen Rant, with many even stating the scene as what made Pixar what it is today (with how it includes saddening tropes in its feature films / establishing their brand). Just thought I’d point this out real quick — it’s probably the biggest cultural discussion regarding the character, even more-so than the gender themes. And also, there was that giant internet theory in 2016 discussing that Andy’s mom was actually Jessie’s former owner (there’s a lot of publications on this too, although this more has to do with Emily and Mrs. Davis). —Lord of Fantasy (talk) 16:21, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

By far not "any mention at all in any publication ever" has been used in the article. Though I agree that our reception section can probably be structured better - a typical problem which can be solved by editing and is therefore not an argument against the existence of an article. I have added short commentary (which includes the backstory) from yet another book source, which designates half a page (which I can see) to the character. This special edition of Entertainment Weekly has several pages on Jessie, mostly interviewing persons involved in her creation. Daranios (talk) 17:52, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Daranios This is actually an excellent find for both the reception and development sections. Although I’d hold off on editing until a true consensus has been made. Nice work, though! —Lord of Fantasy (talk) 00:01, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy deleteThis article is a good example of WP:BREAKING. 'attacks' like this is common on politicians in Delhi. Anatoli eye (talk) 05:51, 7 April 2022 (UTC) — Anatoli eye (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Crime, Events, Politics, and India. Venkat TL (talk) 07:37, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Procedural keep: A limited glance at the article tells me that this is probably notable enough to warrant a procedural close in the face of this obviously bad-faith nomination, which ranges from POV issues to borderline incoherent. I would not be opposed to a discussion to determine whether this falls under WP:NOTNEWS or not, but that conversation can't productively occur in this current environment. Curbon7 (talk) 04:20, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Keep As a bad-faith nomination. Article is in a poor shape and a proper AfD may be necessary. AusLondonder (talk) 00:30, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - It is unclear what policies the nominator is trying to refer to as it seems like the nominator is just throwing around random policy. However, the nominator's statement may fall under WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. As for the substance of the article itself, the subject seems to be covered in several reliable sources, if in need of a little copyediting. If this turns out to not have lasting significance per the 10-year test, then we can revisit whether the page may be deleted.

Pure brochureware / WP:ADMASQ on a non-notable company. Sourcing consists of press release regurgitations and other routine business reporting. In the past hour this has been created, speedied, and immediately recreated by editor with likely COI issues. So let's put it out to the community to judge, then. I contend it fails WP:GNG / WP:COMPANY / WP:ORGCRIT by some margin. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:05, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete as spam. The content on this page is the exact same as when the page was previously deleted, except for having one of the sections removed. EDM fan 2 (talk) 14:20, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  because I do not understand your point of view. I thought you saw the part I removed as an advertisement Ozgdemirci (talk) 17:42, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  @Ozgdemirci: The page in its current form reads like an advertisement. An example of this is "Avansas provides all the needs of small or large businesses from A to Z", which reads positively about the subject. If you want to know more about what constitutes advertising on Wikipedia, see WP:IBA, particularly this section. EDM fan 2 (talk) 18:42, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm changing it right now. If there is another issue, I would be glad if you could help. Ozgdemirci (talk) 19:09, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  I have also added English source. Ozgdemirci (talk) 19:22, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Currently pretty spammy, so delete; not denying, though, that better written and sourced the company may merit an article, so not precluding another try (or development of this one). Happy days ~ Lindsay^Hello 13:17, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Thank you Lindsay for your return. If you tell me where you see this article as spam, I will try to fix it. Ozgdemirci (talk) 13:32, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  This will be my first contribution and I am doing my best to revise it according to the rules. Ozgdemirci (talk) 13:34, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Lack of reliable, independent and significant coverage from sources. No signs of meeting WP:NCORP. ~Styyx^Talk? 00:26, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also the user stating that they have "no [...] commercial connection" is completely false, as looking at their trwiki contributions reveals this message: "Hello, I want to add our company to Wikipedia but..." ~Styyx^Talk? 00:37, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi dear Styyx, I left this company last week. I'm in another industry right now. But this was an unfinished contribution for me and I wanted to complete it. Please let's not make accusations without knowing the details. As I said with this company, I currently have no commercial affiliation. Ozgdemirci (talk) 09:41, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ozgdemirci let's take this to your talk page, but just to say that you certainly do have a COI, if until last week you worked for this company. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:49, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
