Fails WP:GNG, only one valid source. WP:NALBUM's criteria #4 states "The recording has won or been nominated for a major music award", and the album won a GMA Dove Award, but this does not improve notability, since WP:NALBUM states: "Specific to recordings, a recording may be notable if it meets at least one of these criteria" and the article only meets one. — Mcguy15 (talk, contribs) 21:05, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Currently undecided because evidence ([1]) indicates that the album won two trophies at the 37th GMA Dove Awards, which is a fairly noteworthy achievement for Christian musicians. However, robust sources on that year's ceremony and this album's victory are dead links or never existed. If anyone can find something reliable from old offline hard-copy sources and the like, this article might be keep-able, but I am unable to find anything useful thus far. I can change my vote as necessary, but the simplest solution might just be to Redirect to the musician's article, which is standard procedure for questionably notable albums. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:50, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I haven't robustly looked for sources, but the wayback archive shows the album was nominated for one award (packaging) which it didn't win. I have no particular reason to doubt the album won the instrumental award, but this archived site does not cover this category (which I confirmed exists.) Anyway, at the very least the verifiable portions of the article (which would be the tracklist, record label, and playing time as self-referenced) should be merged to Andy Hunter (DJ) as a significant artistic milestone to that artist's output, per WP:PRESERVE. 78.26(spin me / revolutions) 22:52, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Andy Hunter (DJ)#Discography. I already made an undecided comment above, but after the ensuing discussion my vote is now to redirect.

Keep, but feel free to remove information that can't be sourced. We have thousands of stubs for actors who have only had minor roles in various projects, and unless we're going to change Wikipedia policy and remove all those I see no reason to single this guy out.

We have enough information for a short paragraph about who he is and a list of his appearances on film and TV. Not a great article by any means, but very similar to thousands of other articles on minor figures that, as far as I know, are not nominated for deletion. I still see no reason to single this guy out. I initially created this entry 17 years ago as a redirect to 2gether, and I wouldn't oppose a revert to that except that he's done a fair amount of stuff since then, so that no longer seems like the proper course of action. -R. fiend (talk) 16:50, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
KeepWP:NACTOR is the relevant subject specific guideline here.

He host a show that was nominated for an Emmy, and all but one of these things have the own Wikipedia articles so must be notable productions. DreamFocus 18:02, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"List of songs in the NHL video game soundtracks" is not a notable concept.

Keep - So, a few months ago, I spotted this list and likewise thought "Wow, what a silly article, there's no way that this list meets GNG." But then I started hunting for sources, and there is a surprising amount of coverage related to the NHL video game soundtracks across the series. See e.g., [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. Now, I'm not going to shed one tear if this article is deleted as I really struggle to understand why people care about these soundtracks. But, per WP:IDONTLIKEIT, the fact that something seems silly or trivial is not a valid grounds for deletion. I don't like it either, but it doesn't make sense (at least to me) to say that this topic doesn't meet the minimum requirements of GNG given the coverage that seems to exist.DocFreeman24 (talk) 01:31, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article subject requests deletion. See VRT Ticket 2022040710005871. Fails WP:BIO and WP:SIGCOV. Geoff | Who, me? 12:53, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. If the subject has WP:BLP concerns about some of the information in the article, then we can certainly discuss and address those — but a writer who was nominated for the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour, a notable award that passes WP:ANYBIO and WP:CREATIVE, simply cannot be deemed off limits as an article topic. If her name is in that list at all, then we must be allowed to have an article about her, and there can be no "every other nominee in the history of the award is notable except for this one, because reasons" carveouts. Again, if she has concerns about the accuracy or relevance of some of the biographical information, those can certainly be addressed — but a shortlisted nominee for a notable literary award is, by definition, a person about whom we have to have something. There also isn't a lack of SIGCOV; there's just been a lack of Wikipedians actually using her coverage to support the article's content, but she gets literally hundreds of hits in ProQuest. I've replaced all the article's sourcing (some of which was deadlinked anyway) with better stuff, and removed all the private biographical stuff (like the names of her parents and former spouses) that I couldn't find better sourcing for and might well have been the root of her issue. Bearcat (talk) 13:11, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ANYBIO says "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times". She hasn't won it, and has only been nominated once, so I don't think that is enough to establish her notability. Ascendingrisingharmonising (talk) 13:29, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Shortlisted nominations for high-level awards that curate shortlists of finalists most certainly are sufficient basis for a Wikipedia article. They always have been, and the test has never actually required multiple renominations for an award of that type — multiple renominations might be necessary in the case of something like the Nobel Prize, where anybody can be "nominated" at will but the committee doesn't release any special shortlist of finalists before announcing the selected winner, but they're certainly not and never have been necessary in the case of an award that releases a shortlist of finalists between the "every eligible submission gets considered" and "announcement of the winner" phases of the process. Nobody would ever argue, for example, that an Oscar nominee is non-notable just because he was only nominated once and didn't win — if he can be properly sourced as a shortlisted Oscar nominee at all, then he's notable for being shortlisted.

@Bearcat If that is the case, perhaps the text on WP:ANYBIO should be updated to reflect that, unless it is covered by a different policy? FWIW I'm not arguing that the subject is not notable, and I'm not trying to be difficult. I am quite new to being active on Wikipedia and still learning the ropes - I just clicked on the WP links in your post and tried to follow the logic from there. It seems to me that any nominee of an Oscar award is likely to have lots of other reporting covering them, so the notability argument would never realistically come down to "they were nominated for an Oscar". Jane Christmas seems to have been covered by several newspapers so I don't think the argument in this case needs to come down to the nomination. But conceivably if she hadn't been covered by any reliable sources (beyond being named as being on the prize shortlist), maybe her books had only been reviewed on minor blogs, her indie publisher didn't know how to get her any decent coverage and she was media-shy, then to a noob like me reading the WP:ANYBIO policy and not knowing about the other policy or convention that you described, I would feel that the nomination wouldn't suffice.

There is no such thing as a "not very notable" nominee of an inherently notable literary award.

Strong Keep The author absolutely meets notability guidelines, having published a number of books with major publishers and being a finalist for a major award. Finally, the author's website even has a section titled 8 Things About Me That You Won’t Find on Wikipedia. If we deleted the article we'd cause trouble for the author, who'd have to rewrite her website. (Note: That previous line's a joke.

Hi All, I'm the subject of the page under consideration for deletion. I've read the threads so far and while I appreciate the effort to keep me on Wikipedia (obviously, it's up to you guys) I wonder whether there isn't too much biographical litter on Wikipedia, and whether it somehow clutters and degrades the reputation and purpose of Wikipedia -- that pretty much every Tom, Dick, and Jane can have a page on Wikipedia. Maybe I'm wrong and have not understood WP's ethos. I do appreciate Bearcat for removing the names of my parents and former spouses. Thanks. And if my page is opposed for deletion, perhaps someone could update it further: I've been a finalist TWICE for the Leacock Medal (for And Then There Were Nuns, and for Open House: A Life in Thirty-two Moves). What further prompted my request to have my page deleted is the somewhat inconsistent criteria of WP. For instance, I have tried to add my name to WP's list of Writers from Hamilton, Ontario, only to have it constantly removed. Why? I lived and worked in Hamilton for 25 years; most of my books reference my time in Hamilton, and yet I'm not included on that list. I can tell you that there are people on that list who were not born in Hamilton (so that's obviously not a criteria) or who lived in Hamilton for fewer years than I did. Finally, may I add that there are a gazillion WP pages and not equal number of editors to update them or to fine-tune them. I salute your considerable voluntary efforts, and I know public users like me appreciate it very much. Cheers. 119.198.185.99 (talk) 05:20, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You can request an edit to your own page by following these instructions
As your connections to Hamilton are verifiable, I've updated the article to reflect them. I would guess the issue that you were facing was that the article did not have a verifiable source in it about your connections to Hamilton, but it does now. If now see if I can find sources about the award nominations. CT55555 (talk) 09:36, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Page has many unsubstantiated claims about this person, written in a mostly promotional way. Additionally, I have researched several of the major authors of this article, and an exceptional number of them seem to be sockpuppet accounts created solely to edit this article, with little other edits other than this article. Some examples of these users include FireWriter, Fishmr, Hoorah83, and SweetYPeach. These users also seem to very strongly defendant of Billings. For example, Firewriter has, on several occasions, went above and beyond to an abnormal level to defend Billing's actions on user talk pages. Additionally, it seems like some of these usernames have relations to "teachers" on Acellus. For example, Firewriter has a strong relation to FireAngel, a "instructional material" creator on Acellus. This Twitter thread I have stumbled on shows the video with the strongly related username. https://twitter.com/karaokecomputer/status/1296065385381236737 The person who goes by FireAngel is Pajet Monet, who is closely associated with Roger Billings' companies, activities and podcasts. Additionally, I have found little to no evidence of many of the companies that Billings is said to have created with success, and claims have changed multiple times. For example, a section where they claimed association with Bill Gates later changed to just simply having their computer on their desk (which I see little evidence of). I believe this article serves little purpose other to unnecessarily inflate the ego and reputation of Roger Billings, and should be deleted. andritolion (talk) 08:22, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. An argument has been made that the sourcing is sufficient to pass WP:GNG, but the overall consensus disagrees with that since the coverage is routine news coverage related to elections that Savarkar lost. It is also pointed out that being a family member of someone notable, being an unsuccessful candidate for office, or leading a political movement are insufficient grounds for notability as well. Since the consensus here is well founded in the guidelines, I am closing this discussion accordingly. Sjakkalle(Check!) 08:43, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Hindu Mahasabha, as appropriate. I was the page creator and I think it marginally meats WP:GNG in terms of coverage in RS. But I don't think it will go any further. It can be easily covered in a paragraph in the parent page. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:44, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - since it meets WP:GNG. WP:NPOL is for other politicians who may not be independently notable in terms of coverage. I agree with Vanamonde93 below, that Merge would be prolematic. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:07, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Without having examined the coverage in tremendous detail, I'm somewhat opposed to a merge. I believe that if members of a widely studied organization are marginally notable, we're better served by a permastub than a merge; otherwise we risk cluttering the page about the organization with tangentially relevant material. A paragraph of encyclopedic content about Himani Savarkar is likely undue weight at Hindu Mahasabha, but might be worth keeping elsewhere. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:35, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@above, What exactly are you suggesting to merge? I am not seeing anything notable that can merit a standalone section, let alone a stub article. If you look into the family tree of any Hindu Mahasabha election candidates, you will find that almost all of them will be related to someone or the other. Its all in the family, Dynasty politics, as they accuse the others. Venkat TL (talk) 15:44, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The NDTV and Indian Express sources are decidedly borderline, but they aren't nothing. My point is that if this person's not notable, I think we should delete outright; more than a sentence of coverage at the parent article would be undue in my opinion. And your last sentence is unnecessary, VenkatTL. Not a forum, and all that. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:37, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment for now. Sourcing is there for WP:GNG in my opinion, but per the arguments and result at Articles for deletion/Athar Aamir Khan, apparently this kind of coverage by Indian media is suspect, not significant and falls under WP:NOTNEWS. I'll may be revisit this once I've made up my mind on whether that result was the consensusascertained by the quality of the arguments or of users who cared enough to participate. Hemantha (talk) 09:07, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The fact that some campaign coverage exists is not in and of itself an immediate GNG pass for a non-winning electoral candidate — every candidate in every election everywhere can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, so we would have to keep an article about everybody who ever ran in any election and lost if that were how it worked. Rather, to get a non-winning candidate into Wikipedia you need to show that either (a) she already had some other claim of preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten her into Wikipedia anyway, or (b) she can credibly claim that her candidacy was somehow of much greater and more enduring significance than the norm for unelected candidates, in some way that would pass the will people still need this article to exist ten years from now test. As written, however, this article isn't really showing either of those things. I'm not an expert in Indian politics by any means, so it's within the realm of possibility that somebody could do a better job of demonstrating that she's notable enough — but as written, this isn't really enough. What might make a difference is writing a lot more about her role with Abhinav Bharat: did she do anything significant or noteworthy in the job to make the article more than just "Himani Savarkar is a person who has a job, so here's an advertorialized puff piece on her prior background"?

Keep - as the creator, I acknowledge this isn't the best article. However, I think the sourcing and content is more developed and different enough from previous versions that it meets GNG (see previous discussion on talk page from the PROD). After Pushpa, significant attention has been drawn to Goldmines for there to be enough articles focusing on the company from reliable sources (albeit mostly involving interviews).

Delete This is a company, so the applicable guideline is WP:NCORP, which specifically says that These criteria, generally, follow the general notability guideline with a stronger emphasis on quality of the sources to prevent gaming of the rules by marketing and public relations professionals.
From the refs in this version - Scroll (31 Jan 2022), Firstpost (8 Feb 2022), IE (8 Feb 2022) are long interviews of the chairman, Manish Shah. They mention very little about the company. The next 3 refs are on corruption investigation at Sony, where again, Manish Shah is discussed briefly and the company is only mentioned as part of his employment status. Of the rest, Indiantelevision.com (whose about page says - Apart from conceiving and executing promotional campaigns targeted at the Media, Marketing & Television Trade online, it also offers similar services offline making clear its reliability) is the parent of TellyChakkar, which even WP:ICTFSOURCES holds unreliable. Journalismguide seems to be nothing more than a blog. Refs 10-12 by Filmfare, BH and IE about Shehzada/Aryan cover some gossip-like issue and are significantly made up of quotes. IE does not even mention the company's name.
Given how majority (9/12) of references are from late-Jan, early Feb 2022 when their movie was released, I cannot see the coverage as being independent or not marketing-driven. Hemantha (talk) 16:36, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for looking at the current version of the article and going into the sources. I think that, while they are interviews, they do go rather in-depth on the company's model and success. Admittedly I couldn't find the best sourcing for some things, and yes there is a lot of mentions rather than major coverage, but I'll look at other sources and see what other people have to say. MSG17 (talk) 22:23, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Tribe (1999 TV series). WP:NACTOR requires significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" (emphasis added), and Sundarasen does not meet that standard since, as the article notes, he was a "one-time" actor noted only for his appearance in The Tribe. He does not appear to meet WP:BASIC/the GNG either: my search for coverage found a few passing mentions but nothing more. In cases where an actor is known only for a role in a single program, a redirect to that program's article is often the optimal outcome: it's cheap, and it serves as a useful alternative to deletion, preserving the history and ensuring that readers reach content that is at least somewhat relevant.

Violates WP:NOTSTATS, as we don't need squad lists for every team in this minor tournament. For cricket articles, we tend to only have separate squad list articles for ICC international events (ICC World Cup, ICC Men's T20 World Cup and women's equivalents).

@Lugnuts: You say this tournament doesn't have T20 status. How is that true? Every single source states this tournament as a "T20 tournament". For example, here, here, and here. Perhaps even here, here, or here? In fact, USA Cricket itself actualizes the tournament as a "T20 league", as shown here. Any proof against the fact that it does in fact have T20 status?

The squads section in 2021 Minor League Cricket season in itself was incredibly lengthy and at times, hard to understand, as seen in this diff. This is why I created the article in the first place.

Rugbyfan22 (talk) 08:59, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and Lugnuts. The Official Cricket list shows that the competition is minor without official status. I believe local leagues in Britain play T20 tournaments but there's no way they can be considered official – or notable. The article also fails NOTSTATS. I agree with Rugbyfan22 that there should be a summary of the tournament in the league's article but anything beyond that is excessive. NGSShakin' All Over 09:21, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - even if the tournament did have top-level T20 status, I'm unconvinced that article such as this about domestic tournaments are necessary at all (for example, all (literally all) of the details at 2019 Pakistan Super League squads are repeated at articles such as Lahore Qalandars in 2019 and there are squad lists - without the details - at 2019 Pakistan Super League. I honestly don't understand why we need this repetition - beyond the desire to create yet more list articles of dubious value; I'm not even sure we need them for international tournaments such as World Cups). If the team's season is notable and sources can be found, write articles about them. I doubt that's the case here if I'm honest. If for some reason the article is kept, the flags, colours, table width issues and redundant key items will all need dealing with. Blue Square Thing (talk) 12:41, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Supporting character from a TV show, the article is a pure plot summary with primary references. Previously PRODed. User:BD2412 deprodded with a comment that a merge and redirec to List of Monk characters would be better. Then this was redirected by an anon, but restored due 'no merge done'. Well, I don't believe there is anything to merge, given it's a plot summary referenced to the TV series and nothing else. 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. I am fine with a WP:SOFTDELETE style redirect (preserving history), but I don't think anything more is needed here. It's just soap opera WP:FANCRUFT. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:27, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Monk characters - The current sourcing in the article is all just the pieces of fiction themselves, and doing searches did not turn up anything outside of plot summaries and brief mentions. I don't personally think a merge would be appropriate due to the lack of secondary sources, and the fact that the primary information such as the actor is already included at the list already, but a Redirect would preserve the editing history in case someone deemed it useful in filling out information on the character on the main character list.

A super WP:FANCRUFTy article, with no reception/analysis of the character, just a lengthy plot summary and a ton of WP:OR trivia (ex. "Compared to Sharona, Natalie has driven at least six different cars in the course of the series. How she can afford to switch cars so frequently, given her very low salary, is never explained", followed by a detailed description of her cars...). 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, just some mentions on a plot summary here and there, mostly in the numerous Monk-universe guide book (the series was clearly quite popular at some point, but that popularity did not translate into any WP:SIGCOV-level study of this supporting character). A redirect to List of Monk characters should be more than sufficient. PS. Previously PRODed. User:BD2412 deprodded with a comment that a merge and redirec to List of Monk characters would be better. Then this was redirected by an anon, but restored due 'no merge done'. Well, I don't believe there is anything to merge, given it's a plot summary referenced to the TV series and nothing else. I am fine with WP:SOFTDELETE redirect preserving the history. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:22, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actor has been working a long time, but his CV is a just a long litany of bit parts. Cannot find any independent in-depth coverage in reliable sources, either those in the article or elsewhere online - lack of WP:SIGCOV. Fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 10:00, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As always, the notability test for actors is not just "a list of roles is present" — the article has to be supported by reliable sources that establish the significance of at least some of his performances, such as by verifying that he won or was nominated for major acting awards (Oscar, Emmy, Canadian Screen Award, etc.) or by analyzing the roles in enough depth to count toward WP:GNG (as opposed to just glancingly namechecking his existence in a cast list). But the only footnote here just tangentially verifies that the character he played in a TV movie was based on a real person by verifying the existence of that person while failing to say anything whatsoever about Danso Gordon's portrayal of him, which is not what it takes. And even on a ProQuest search for older sourcing that might not have Googled, I just can't find anything better. Bearcat (talk) 14:01, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete On form this is rubbish, we need something more than just a listing of roles. The sourcing is rubbish to, IMDb is not reliable and the subjects own website is plain out. I am not even figuring out how the article about a crime fits in, but pretty much all articles on crimes are not useble in any way to add towards GNG because of not news and routine concerns. There is a certain type of coverage of crime that rises above that, but the one source here does not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:15, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I figured out how the crime fits in, and this is a case of coatracking that has no relevance to Gordon. As best I can tell the link is to a news report related to a killing, and the new report pre-dates the work on the killing that Gordon performed in by 2 years. I would be shocked if that source even names Gordon, but if it does it would be a passing mention, it in no way adds to Gordon's notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:17, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pure plot summary with a smattering of info on publication history. 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. Listed references are pretty low quality, and even the best contains no analysis, just plot summary. The worst include a blog from 2010 about a possible "planned new appearance". Sigh. This is low quality WP:FANCRUFT.

Quite simply, this fails WP:GNG. County roads are rarely notable, and we don't keep them unless they meet GNG, which this won't. Imzadi 1979→ 05:28, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The importance of this road depends on the notability of its eastern terminus, Crestone, Colorado.

Delete as failing GNG and NGEO. Fred Bauder's argument does not carry any weight because of WP:INHERIT. It is also wholly unsourced, the only reference is to the directions to some music festival. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 13:32, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An entire paragraph, and most of the content just added, is not about the road. Rather it is about a subdivision that just happens to be along it. That's the same as Fred Bauder's argument as stated by Trainsandotherthings. Sorry, still fails GNG because you don't have the significant coverage part of "significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject". Imzadi 1979→ 17:17, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think that your paragraph counter is broken. Uncle G (talk) 17:23, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article currently has five paragraphs. The first is a single sentence; so is the second.The fourth has two sentences, and the fifth has one. The third is most of the word count, and it's about a subdivision and not about the road, so it doesn't/shouldn't count for GNG purposes. Iff I were to edit this article, I'd merge the first and second together with the fourth and delete the entire third paragraph as a tangent. Imzadi 1979→ 20:43, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am not so sure about the non notable. This PhD thesis has a decent-sized paragraph on the film, and there are a number of short mentions in the Google books hits.

Comment: It looks like the name refers to two things: a live action parody trailer and the animated film based on said trailer. Most of what I'm finding so far looks to be more about the LA trailer, so if the article is kept it should be about both the trailer and the animation.

Keep Found it: In addition to the mentioned PhD thesis, there is a short paragraph discussig the film here on p. 468-469/here on p. 169. Together with short mentions like here and here, and with the award it got, I think this film is notable after all. Like ReaderofthePack suggested, I think the trailer and animated films should all be treated here collectively. Daranios (talk) 14:20, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't think the award is notable, making the film non-notable. Oaktree b (talk) 22:27, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Oaktree b: Did you mean notable as used on Wikipedia or notable as in an important award? Anyway, I think in general if a film get's a major award, that in itself makes it notable, but if it does not, that does not make it non-notable. Rather, we get back to the basic criterion of "is talked about in secondary sources", right? Which I think is the case here, just enough to fullfill WP:WHYN. The fact that it got a not-so-major(?) award in my view is just an additional point towards notability. Daranios (talk) 17:04, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't prod since one had been removed before under the mistaken impression "We have a low inclusion bar for train stations, probably also for small airports".

Delete. Mayors aren't entitled to an automatic presumption of notability just because it's possible to offer technical verification that they exist(ed) as mayors; the notability test for a mayor hinges on the ability to write and source some genuine substance about his political impact: specific things he did, specific effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. Mayors also aren't notable just for being unsuccessful candidates in party primaries for higher office, or for being arrested for drunk driving, so there's just nothing stated here that would establish his notability at all. Bearcat (talk) 20:37, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I can think of few people who are notable for being arrested for drunk driving. We do have a current member of the Michigan State Legislature who clearly is, since he did so many crazy things when arrested, such as trying to claim he would defund the police for pulling him over if they just did not let him go, but since he is a member of the state legislature he is by our current rules already notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:37, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. In the sense of "not delete". As has been pointed out, not even the nominator wants this article deleted; instead, the discussion is about whether this should be a redirect, a disambiguation page or an overview article about the several genocides in Ukraine. That is a content dispute that needs resolving on the article talk page, not at AfD. Sandstein 21:25, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This term is being thrown-around, but it is just political rhetoric at this point. This dab should be returned to the prior redirect to Holodomor, a true genocide. MB 01:30, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree and some commentary. I do agree with the nominator, that we should avoid incorrectly labelling things a genocide, or implying the war is a genocide, without that being a verifiable statement. I searched WP:MoS before commenting and the most relevant policy I could find was WP:NPOVTITLE which directs to guide article titles neutrally. Is WP:CRIM relevant here, as to call it a genocide is to call it a crime....I'm not sure. I think the crime guidance here tends to assume crimes done by civilians. But I also wonder if this is a AfD discussion, you're not proposing to delete, are you, you are proposing to change a redirect. I feel this is an important issue, and might warrant more eyes on it than just the AfD viewers. Suggesting something is a genocide is a big deal and we need to be very careful about that. CT55555 (talk) 01:56, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep at least for Holodomor and Bucha massacre, the latter of which has been referred to as "genocide" by several sources.
1. [Lyudmyla Denisova, the Ukrainian Parliament's Human Rights Commissioner] said Ukraine had evidence of "genocide of Ukrainian people" and of military crimes, adding that rape was "the new weapon" of Russian forces."[1]
2. [Kyiv mayor Vitali] Klitschko tells German daily Bild that "what happened in Bucha and other suburbs of Kyiv can only be described as genocide."[2]
3. "We will do everything possible to ensure that those who committed these crimes do not go unpunished and can appear before the International Criminal Court to respond to these alleged crimes against humanity, war crimes, and why not say it — genocide," [Spanish prime minister Pedro] Sanchez continued.[3]
4. Attacks on civilians by Russian forces in the Ukrainian town of Bucha do not "look far short of genocide", [UK] Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.[4]
5. Polish president: 'Hard to deny' genocide took place in Ukraine[5]
6. (Dissenting view) Ukraine: As Russia faces ‘genocide’ charge, experts urge caution[6]
There's several more sources already discussing the war crimes during the Russian invasion of Ukraine as possible genocide, which brings the association beyond WP:OR. Whether or not it actually will be prosecuted as such internationally remains to be seen, but the term is already in the public discourse to refer to Russia's actions in Ukraine. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:50, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think we need a high bar for this and the bar should be higher than some politicians saying. Even your #4 is clearly saying almost. CT55555 (talk) 13:11, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Concur with CT55555, the above are all "political rhetoric" by parties that don't have a NPOV. The existence of the dab is an endorsement in WP's voice of this view that greatly "waters-down" the meaning of the term. MB 15:35, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree that it's an endorsement of the view. It's a reflection of the current discourse. The purpose of the DAB is to navigate users to the right space, and if there are sources referring to Russian actions in Ukraine as genocide, then it's reasonable to assume that users will be searching for the relevant articles as such. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 15:46, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think this should be deleted, as it is too ambiguous a term. If it is kept, redirect to the Holodomor article. The same goes for the Ukrainian genocide redirect, which I re-targeted here for consistency. —-QueenofBithynia (talk) 14:43, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If the article is deleted I have a grim feeling someone should keep a copy of the text.
Also, propose a disambiguation on "Ukranian Genocides" to be targeted by the original typo-redirects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.230.177.165 (talk) 00:26, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep of course. Assuming only one of these topics existed, this would be easily kept at RfD as a plausible search term. The same standard should therefore be applied here. Elli (talk | contribs) 22:21, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Elli No one is suggesting this be deleted. Do you mean keep this dab or restore the original redirect? That is the real question. MB 23:17, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the disambiguation. And there is at least one person here suggesting this be deleted. For the record, the action for proposing what you want to do would've been to restore the redirect, and have those who want a disambiguation page created open a discussion at WP:RFD.

Elli, Sorry, but for the record, I have seen cases in the past where people have said using RFD to effectively delete a "content" page was the wrong venue; RFD is not for content deletion even though the result of an RFD can be content creation (a dab). MB 00:13, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, you're right about the venue, I misremembered what the policy and current best practices were. Regardless, I support keeping the disambiguation page as-is. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:23, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. The Ukrainian parliament today just recognized it as genocide and also appealed to the international community to recognize it. I have already added the reactions of statesmen, I think we can already conclude that many states recognize this as an act of genocide. Uliana245 (talk 20:43, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article is currently extremely biased, but a page regarding allegations is definitely notable. X-Editor (talk) 21:20, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are more specific subjects to be included, and there is a need to cover the subject on a broader scale. The deportation of the Crimean Tatars is an example of a Ukraine genocide. Rafael Lemkin actually wrote that the famine was only part of a four-pronged extended campaign which constituted “perhaps the classic example of Soviet genocide,” a “long-term policy of liquidation of non-Russian peoples by the removal of select parts,” and “only the logical successor of such Tsarist crimes,” and he names specific acts from at least 1920 to 1949.[17] In his essay and follow-up interview, Putin himself drew a connection between his own attack and Russian-empire and Soviet crimes when he called Ukrainians an “anti-Russia project” that was conceived in the “Middle Ages” and created by Lenin. —MichaelZ. 19:52, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
