• Keep. Baker played in ten first-class matches over a lengthy period and the article could be expanded with content from South African sources in addition to Wisden, CricketArchive, etc. Even if sufficient sources cannot be found to meet SIGCOV, the article qualifies for WP:ATD-R and, as Baker played nine of his matches for Border, the obvious redirect target is List of Border representative cricketers where he is already included. By the way, the fact that he played in ten first-class matches is itself evidence of notability. I agree, however, that the article should be expanded and that more citations are needed. BcJvs UTC 09:35, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's fair comment. I've added a bit to it but we could really do with something from a South African source. BcJvs UTC 18:51, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to List of Border representative cricketers Sourcing for SA cricketers has always been difficult to find, especially for players of this era. Obviously he played a handful of names so has some notability, but not enough for a GNG pass. Redirect is a suitable WP:ATD and preserves the history if something does crop up in the limited archives we have or Afrikaans sourcing. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 19:35, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Very true, I'm afraid. I'll stick with keep in case something can be found but I admit it's unlikely. BcJvs UTC 21:09, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to the list of Border cricketers as a sensible alternative to deletion. The chances are that if we could get access to paper copies of South African newspapers from the 50s and 60s we'd find stuff on him, quite possibly enough to keep the article. Access anytime soon to those sorts of sources is unlikely however and there's not enough to build a biography of just now. But it's not unreasonable to assume that when someone does get access to that that we'll be able to do so, so to preserve the attribution and sourcing we should redirect here.

Unnotable middle school. In Wikipedia:All high schools can be notable, it says that 'Elementary and middle schools do not merit their own article unless they have an exceptional claim to notability.'. This middle school has no exceptional claim to notability, even though they set the largest simultaneous yo-yo, but that doesn't make them notable. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSCHOOL.

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. "Delete" was the most common and best-argued position in the discussion, based on the argument that political dustups involving the former president often attract a lot of shorter-term coverage, but are not necessarily notable enough over the longer term to justify independent articles per WP:NEVENT – several cited the WP:NETRUMP essay about this. (I note that this is true of political controversies in general, not just ones involving Trump.) The pro-keep arguments claiming long-term notability is likely in this case necessarily involve some speculation and were not accepted by most participants, who either rejected them entirely in favor of deletion or were skeptical and favored merging or moving to draft instead. Some pro-keep sockpuppetry was of course discounted, and a few of the non-sockpuppet claims were implausible, claiming a proven, definitive long-term notability that simply isn't possible at this point in time.

The alternative options of merging or moving to draft did not attract enough support to form a consensus. However, given that there is reliably sourced material here and it might prove out as notable over time, I am open to restoring the content as a userspace draft if there is an editor willing to take responsibility for it (keeping in mind that it contains WP:BLP material) and to acknowledge that any speedy recreation will be subject to WP:G4 deletion.

This article is well meaning, but it is born of WP:RECENTISM. The dinner itself fails WP:NEVENT as it is unlikely to pass the WP:10YT.

• Delete or Draftify: WP:DELAY applies. This news story is only a few days old; stand-alone notability can not yet be inferred. Condemnation of Trump sympathizing with anti-Semites (which seems to be the true topic of note here) can be interspersed and incorporated into other articles like Post-presidency of Donald Trump, Racial views of Donald Trump, Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign, Views of Kanye West, or others not yet created with more broad subject-area coverage. In my estimation, the actual dinner itself will likely fail the 10YT. Throast ^{((ping)) me!} (talk | contribs) 06:03, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Draft- or user-ify. It's just a meeting. Things that were said at the meeting can be documented on the appropriate pages.

[Note: Accidentially double posted. See my main comment below.] The subject clearly meets the criteria of notability. It's clear that this has significant, long-term repercussions from a variety of angles. It's impossible to summarize the events of the article in each individual article's page. Multiple foreign leaders and almost every major American political figure has commented on it. This isn't to mention the impact on Kanye's legacy and the impact on the American Christian and white nationalist movements. KlayCax (talk) 01:30, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Snap Keep At this point, the balance of evidence indicates that this is notable event that will have a relevant historical impact on the 2024 election, like a number of other political scandals, is garnering interest, and provides useful contextual background for the current election, popular culture, and the global far-right/anti-semitic movement. Should the passage of time bear out your WP:CRYSTALBALL Prediction that this event will totally fade from interest, it will be simple enough to remove it later, whereas removing it now deletes the article at the precise time when people are most willing and able to contribute to it, thus permanently reducing the usefulness of the article. 2600:4040:90C5:8000:FCA5:5BDC:B261:6E8A (talk) 22:45, 1 December 2022 (UTC)^{Struck per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/There-being Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 13:55, 8 December 2022 (UTC)}[reply]

I mean, no shit that (pointlessly and short-sightedly) deleting this article doesn’t forbid this topic being mentioned elsewhere, but who cares? There are some readers who will be interested in reading about this topic in particular- the Nazi dinner party scandal- the meeting , the reactions to it, and its repercussions, etc. Why should such readers have to read the Nick Fuentes or Kanye West page to find that information when what they came here to read about was THIS topic? This is a demarcated topic , a particular delimited political scandal (a former president dining with 2 Nazis at his home a few days after announcing his campaign) whose encyclopedic notability is basically unquestionable, which has been commented upon by every political figure in the country. I’ve not seen one non-spurious justification for deleting it other than people think the week-old article currently sucks.

• Delete - The nom's comments about recentism are spot on. If this is notable for inclusion in an encyclopadeia, it is not notable as a meeting, but rather, in a wider context. It should be covered in Donald Trump articles, or an article that contextualises this within a larger whole. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 23:28, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article clearly meets the criteria of notability. It's been headline news on almost every major newspaper and website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KlayCax (talk • contribs)

Unsigned commentator, this misunderstands the concept of notability. Donald Trump is notable, Kanye West is notable, and so their meeting is reported, but we are writing an encyclopaedia, not a newswire, and so what is notable for an article is not an individual meeting that is widely reported, bu rather a much broader subject, which is to say Trump. If this is relevant, as suggested, for a 2024 bid, and if (and it is unknown at this point) but if that is a major factor in that bid, then the encyclopaedic subject is Donald Trump's presidential bid, and this will be a section of that. This page is a bit of nonsense. We might as well have a page on Donald Trump's views on raking forests (also widely covered in the news), but we don't, because being talked about is not notability of the subject in any form.

• Strong Keep — Clearly has significant, long-term notability. It's been consistent, headline news on the front of almost every major website for over a week. The meeting has received attention from multiple foreign leaders (including heads of government and state), the Majority/Minority leaders of both the American House and Senate, represents an unprecendented moment in modern American history, and has received overwhelming attention in reliable sources. The criteria of WP:10YT will almost certainly be met. Reactions from domestic and international political figures — as well as the specific details of the meeting — can not be well covered in their individual respected articles. Clearly merits an independent article.

  It already is notable by the sheer volume of significant coverage in reliable sources. I'm not convinced that this event is non-notable because of recentism unless someone can provide actual evidence of that and not just subjective skepticism, especially when this event has received new coverage each day since it occurred. ––FormalDude (talk) 05:22, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Only an understanding of Wikipedia:Notability (events) and experience debating it in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion discussions. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:52, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Firstly, given that my question was related to your claim that this event is unlikely to be notable in ten years time, I'm unclear how citing Wiki policies you're familiar with backs up that case. You could know every detail of those policies and practices and still be completely wrong in your belief that this event won't be notable in ten years time. You have to make an argument from the nature of the event i.e. explain what about it makes you think it will become unnotable.

  Secondly, I would expect someone with understanding and experience of editing on Wikipedia to know that one shouldn't violate WP:CIVIL (i.e. you claim that the something you know that I don't is "an understanding of Wikipedia:Notability (events) and experience debating it in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion discussions", but as I'm a complete stranger you can have no knowledge of whether I have experience of those things or not, which is quite presumptuous). 2A00:23C4:6B13:D801:D4CC:98B7:8177:BC80 (talk) 15:58, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep I read reviewed all the criteria for deletion in Wikipedia:Deletion_policy and Recentism isn't listed as a reason to delete an article. Furthermore, under the Wikipedia:Recentism#Suggestions_for_dealing_with_recentism article cited in the nomination for deletion, the suggested solutions do not focus on deletion. Instead it focuses on patience: "Wait and See." So it seems like patience rather than deletion is a better fit with Wikipedia policy. In the nine days since this event, its significance has continued to grow. Over the last seven years, the Trump campaign has developed a reputation for being impervious to mis-steps like this, but even Fox News has critically covered this event: Trump fires back at 'loser' McConnell, says Fuentes' views 'wouldn't have been accepted' if raised at dinner. While its possible that this event will fade in importance, it's also quite possible that it will continue to grow in significance and having a publicly available article to build on will provide a service to the community. mennonot (talk) 06:54, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  So the argument is strong keep because it may be notable at some point? Wikipedia pages are kept on the basis of notability for an article, not the possibility the subject will be notable one day. If it is notable one day, the page can be created with a clear steer from the WP:RS that will then exist, which will show why it is notable for an article in its own right. Until that time, it is WP:TOOSOON to have this article, and your argument here reinforces that. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 14:30, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  No, I think I was pretty clear that I think this is notable, but I didn't use that word because the original nomination did not. I see your argument above that this notability, it it exists, is only notable within the context of the wider Donald Trump campaign. I disagree. I think this is a notable event beyond the Trump campaign because it is the catalyst for a widening rift in the the Republican party that the Trump campaign is just a smaller part of. If your argument is that this is a notable event, but needs to be in a different article then you run into the question of where to put it and I definitely don't think this event can simply be confined within the Trump article or even the [[Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign].

The high amount of coverage leads me to believe it's notable enough to be mentioned somewhere on the encyclopedia, but I don't think it makes for a great standalone article topic when not a lot of the information is about the meeting itself and we don't exactly know a lot about what was discussed; what makes the event significant is simply the fact that the most recent President of the United States had a meeting with some of the most prominent nazis in America and it was widely condemned by other elected officials.

• Changing vote to Strong keep. Keep in mind EVENTCRIT states recent events with unproven lasting effect are [not] automatically non-notable. WP:DIVERSE and WP:INDEPTH are met, with domestic and international coverage (in at least France and Israel) over more than a week. Scholars have already commented on this dinner (and the subsequent lack of disavowal) as a significant moment for the "white power" movement in America, which makes it likely that WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:LASTING will also be met in due time; IMO, a meeting between a former President and an out-and-out Holocaust denier and "white power" activist is significant, and will very likely be discussed in future books and published papers on Trump and white power in America. The fact that both Trump and West are running in 2024, and that Fuentes is advising the latter and partially supporting the former, makes it likely that this meeting will be brought up repeatedly during the 2024 campaign, which provides another argument for WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:LASTING. So it meets the WP:EVENTCRIT. I endorse User:FormalDude's reasoning here, and additionally find that the criteria are met. Note that this stuff won't get added to Donald Trump (way too long as is; it doesn't even cover Access Hollywood) and only a small bit about it has been added to Racial views of Donald Trump but that page has over 100KB of prose. Finally, this article's current state has no bearing whatsoever on its subject's notability. DFlhb (talk) 08:07, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anticipating a likelihood that something will be brought up in the future is a prime example of WP:CRYSTAL. It is equally likely that this will be completely forgotten on the wake of other events. At least a move to draft will provide time to see if further referencing of this event actually develops. BD2412 T 14:48, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a violation of WP:CRYSTAL, because the argument isn't "this topic isn't notable but will become so in the future", the argument is "this recent event is already notable and the OP's argument that it won't be notable in ten years time is the crystal ball here". 2A00:23C4:6B13:D801:D4CC:98B7:8177:BC80 (talk) 15:43, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get it. Isn't WP:CRYSTAL about preventing people from making an infinity of placeholder articles, about stuff like the U.S. presidential election in the year 9376 etc? That's a subtly different argument from arguments about how notability evolves, where it's justifiable to use (subjective) common sense. CRYSTAL's about events that haven't happened yet. Leaving CRYSTAL aside: if it was just news articles? Ok, point taken. But with scholars already weighing in; I think my assumptions are good. DFlhb (talk) 20:30, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

YOU are the crystal-ball gazers my friends, not us. (Note CRYSTALBALL's ciration as a reason to not delete this article in the very beginning of the thread! Right now, evidence indicates this article has met notability and relevance criteria, is receiving a wide volume of coverage, and is an important political scandal for the 2024 campaign. While it is of course true that we do not know if historians will find this event significant in 100 years, reference to such as a reason to delete this article is a cruel and absurd farce.

But per WP:NOTNP, Wikipedia is not a newspaper. News stories do not merit articles because they are news.

What a joke; now the Deletes are getting so desperate about their flimsy case that they whine the keep votes haven't provided sources in an AFD, when everyone knows you don't put sources in an AFD you put them in the goddamn article. I've said it before and I will say it again: Not a single "delete" vote has described a legitimate reason based in Wikipedia policy for deleting the article. They have falsely cited Crystal Ball, Not News, Recentism, and have cried about the quality of the article. An event being recent does not describe a reason to delete an article. (PS: Has anyone here actually read WP: RECENTISM? Nowhere in the article does it say that RECENTISM is a reason for article deletion. Indeed, it explicitly says the opposite.) An event being a piece of news does not describe a reason to delete an article. ALL events begin life as "news." And the only ones gazing into crystal balls are the deletes, who opine without any basis that this event "will not be important in 10 years" without bothering to inform us how their futurological investigations are conducted. What I likely see here, in truth, is a lot of Trumpkins who are upset that they are not able to whitewash Trump's latest political scandal from this encylopedia. It is well-established that political scandals that receive widespread coverage and comment by politicians across the spectrum are worthy of encyclopedic mention. Indeed, we have covered MANY vastly less important scandals here with standalone articles, such as the Hunter Biden laptop non-story. I am still waiting for a single delete vote to provide a policy based reason for not including this scandal in the encylopedia. The fact of the matter is, you don't have one, and that becomes more and more clear every day.

WP:ROUTINE would be the wiki policy. Oaktree b (talk) 00:23, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ROUTINE does not make sense as a justification for deletion here. WP: ROUTINE states "routine news coverage of such things as announcements are not sufficient basis for an article." This was not a "routine event." It was a one of a kind occurrence in which the former president hosted 2 Nazis for dinner at his home. Every major political figure in the country was asked to comment on the event, as documented in the article. Several of these figures have commented that the event will likely preclude Trump's election. Whether or not these analyses are borne out, the event has obviously cleared the low bar of notability for events involving a president (we have an article on Covfefe for crying out loud) and I am unable to understand the acts of mental gymnastics that must be required to label this event "routine."2600:4040:90C5:8000:1170:7B65:1D8D:63 (talk) 00:32, 5 December 2022 (UTC) — 2600:4040:90C5:8000:1170:7B65:1D8D:63 (talk · contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of There-being (talk · contribs).

Please do keep in mind Wikipedia:Assume good faith and Wikipedia:Etiquette. The conversation is most productive when it focuses on arguments, not people. DFlhb (talk) 00:25, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DFlhb Agreed, and thank you for providing some sources to discuss. As per deletion guidelines, it is the sources that count to notability, and the article is notable if sources exist, regardless of whether they are in the article or not. But before looking at these, you say "in its own right" is subjective. There is a level of subjectivity in anything we do here, but I think that criterion is objective. What we are looking for are articles that make the case that this meeting will be important as a subject in 10 years time as opposed to broader treatments like "Donald Trump's {failed} 2024 presidential bid", "Donald Trump" or similar. (Note that if this is not notable for the Donald Trump page itself it is not notable for its own article, so really it should be there first and foremost).

So, looking at these links, CREW is a short current affairs article about this. It doesn't pass muster. Yahoo News uses the word "unprecedented" which is better but it is still current affairs comment, and news sources use that word a lot. Israel (2022) is talking about the Republicans turning on Trump, and the meeting is relevant but supporting the thesis. That argues for notability in the Donald Trump article, certainly. Zitner (2022) says some at breaking point over this. Considering the usual level of hyperbole, that seems rather understated. Suebsaeng (2022) is just news reporting about the event. These are all news reports, and WP:NOTNP applies. Of course, news sources can be reliable for verification, but they are not generally great (and here they are not sufficient) to establish that there is a subject here, the meeting, that will have an enduring legacy as a subject in its own right. It appears to be WP:TOOSOON to establish such. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:24, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Trump does have a habit of turning non-news into news through his inability to disavow people. IMO what makes this event notable is the likely fallout, and the symbolism of a modern U.S. president being allegedly "very impressed" with a Holocaust denier and neo-Nazi, who he then fails to even condemn.

  • Comment: have any of you actually read “10 year test” or the recentism article as a whole? With all due respect, I do not think that you have. The 10 year test does NOT purport to describe a “test” or criterion for deleting articles. Here’s what it says: “Bold textConsider the ten-year test as a thought experiment that might be helpful: Will someone ten years from now be confused about how this article is written? In ten years will this addition still appear relevant? If I am devoting more time to it than other topics in the article, will it appear more relevant than what is already here?” Bold textThe ten year test is not supposed to provide grounds for deleting an article. Closing administrator should toss out all comments that mistakenly cite 10 year test as a reason for deletion. Moreover, I would love to know how these editors have been able to divine whether or not Trump’s Nazi dinner party will be considered notable in 10 years.

    • Nice try! This is a very funny response. I quote from WP:TENYEARTEST: Content that seemed notable at the time might, in retrospect, violate what Wikipedia is not and other guidelines. Anybody quoting the 10YT is stating that is newsworthy today will not be notable in the future. This meeting has not proven itself to have any enduring notability, which is an example of Recentism, which is the name of the supplement the 10YT is a part of. It supplements policies on notability and WPNOT which most certainly are grounds for deletion. With all due respect, perhaps you should read the guidelines yourself before criticising other editors for misunderstanding them. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 03:19, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Let me repeat myself more slowly for your benefit, friend. 1) Unless you are able to know the future, you do not know what will be deemed notable in 10 years. As stated in 10 year test, "Wikipedia editors should not pretend to have a crystal ball." Your speculations on such matters are not important and lack any basis in fact. Do you have any evidence that this event will not be considered notable in 10 years? No. 2) Although you sneer, you exhibit almost no understanding of the material you quoted. "Content that seemed notable at the time might, in retrospect, violate what Wikipedia is not." Of course it is possible that content that seems notable at the time might later turn out to not be notable and violate WP:NOT. At no point does this statement say that the 10YEARTEST provides a criterion for deletion of material. Again, how could it? For the 10 year test to provide a test of notability would require our editors to have futurological powers. As is explicitly stated, the 10 year test is merely a thought experiment that might be helpful (and moreover is just a single paragraph in what is itself merely an explanatory essay, not an official policy providing reasons for deletion). It is not a criterion for deletion, nor could it be. There is a lot of sound and fury in your post, but it exhibits almost complete misunderstanding of Wikipedia policies on deletion, and fails to provide a single policy-based criterion for your recommendation. I know it must be hard for you to be this wrong, but that's just how it is.

You lack futurological powers, and your inane speculations on this being "the most obvious failure of the 10 year test I've ever seen" have no relevance. The very article you cite explictly states that "Wikipedia editors should not pretend to have a crystal ball." In the future, please try to confine yourself to policy based reasons for deletion, such as claims about the article's verifiability and notability, rather than engaging in unevidenced claims about the unknowable shape of the future.

Again, just thinking about it logically, the 10 year test (which is a single paragraph in an explanatory essay, not policy) could not possibly provide a reason to delete articles because editors are not clairvoyant and lack the ability to see the future. Articles should be assessed on criteria such as verifiability and notability, rather than unknowable speculations.2600:4040:90C5:8000:7CA7:32D4:F186:5264 (talk) 12:36, 5 December 2022 (UTC) — 2600:4040:90C5:8000:7CA7:32D4:F186:5264 (talk · contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of There-being (talk · contribs).

                IP 2600:4040:90C5:8000::/64 You have not taken account of WP:NSUSTAINED Wikipedia is a lagging indicator of notability. And Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability. This is why WP:TOOSOON applies. This is why all the other policy arguments about recentism also apply. Wikipedia articles are written when notability is already established, they are not kept until it is clear that no notability will ever be established. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 13:25, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

                • • with all due respect, you are simply incorrect on this matter. I have taken into account the recency of the event. Indeed, the notability of this event has grown each day since it transpired. Please remember that “Notability is not temporary”. When an unprecedented political scandal like this occurs, when an event has generated this amount of coverage, and has been commented upon by practically every member of Congress, it has cleared the very low bar of notability for events involving a President of the United States. However, I did not comment here to replead my argument, but to request that editors stop misunderstanding 10yeartest, which is not a literal test, not a statement of policy, and not an invitation to peer at your crystal balls and opine on what will be considered important in 10 years. Indeed, the non-policy essay you are citing states as much explicitly! What we SHOUlD be citing here is the actual governing policy page, WP:EVENT, which relevantly states: “Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards (as described below).” It is obvious this criterion has easily been met here. 2600:4040:90C5:8000:AC4B:2D83:ECCE:317B (talk) 13:44, 5 December 2022 (UTC)- ^{struck per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/There-being - sock reply to me Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 13:55, 8 December 2022 (UTC)}[reply]

• Move to draft, the subject meets the notability criteria but it is not encyclopedic in the current state, it's practically the inverse of WP:NOTWHOSWHO. As many others have mentioned, although I doubt it passes the WP:10YT, it's not particularly relevant for the purposes of this AfD - editors are welcome to test the articles relevance in future. Putting notability of the individuals aside, the article effectively speculates what three individuals discussed over dinner WP:NOTSCANDAL - unless there's some radical story development that makes the content of the article any more than a directory of public opinion it'll remain non-encyclopedic, in which case, it'll end up being SNOW - so just delete it. ~ Chip🐺 14:12, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Re: "We're pretty much in WP:SNOW territories here, as many of the keeps are by single-purpose accounts and IPs." - I wouldn't go that far, most of the keep !votes are from established editors. Only a few are IPs. I probably did a very poor job at counting, but I see a 3-way split between delete, draftify, and keep. Roughly 16 straight delete, 4 delete and/or draftify, 12 draftify/merge, 17 straight keep, 1 wait. Of course, Wikipedia is not a vote, and the closer will have to evaluate the strength of the arguments and take into consideration if !votes from accounts with little activity or anonymous IPs should be discounted or otherwise weighted less. In any case, definitely not a SNOW delete. A lot of thought will have to go into closing this one. Might even be in no consensus territory.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 18:31, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but open to moving/merging where sensible - While I understand the arguments that this article falls under WP:TRUMPNOT or is an example of 'recentism' (WP:NSUSTAINED), it would be unclear where this information should be moved to (Donald Trump, Kanye West, and, to a lesser extent, Nick Fuentes, are all notable figures with their own pages). Additionally, beyond the clearly apparent notability of this event (a former US President, a politically-vocal billionaire artist & celebrity, and an influential political extremist having a notable dinner together where politics was discussed as a primary point of conversation), it ties into several large topics: the 2024 US election, the current ideological shifting of the two main US political parties, the mainstreaming of white supremacist ideas in the US and on the Web, and the current mental health crisis/career implosion that a celebrity is experiencing. Regardless of whether or not this specific dinner ends up being well-discussed in the future or simply forgotten, it's clearly relevant in showing a chronological view of several topics and could very realistically be mentioned in several places throughout Wikipedia in the future—if not deserving of its own page, the contents should largely still remain, but I can't think of where it'd all be merged into or moved to. - Emil Sayahi (talk) 19:57, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's just too soon to be considered as it's part of the news cycle.

Why the hostility and incivility?

• Comment: There seems to be a misunderstanding of policy. (Note, as mentioned above, that I'm the initial creator of the article.)

Official Wikipedia policy for WP:EVENT is the following:

1.) Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect. This article passes WP:GNG in spades. Additionally, according to news published by Axios today, it will also be an instance of WP: LASTING and WP: EFFECT. Events are often considered to be notable if they act as a precedent or catalyst for something else. This may include effects on the views and behaviors of society and legislation. For example, the murder of Adam Walsh ultimately led to the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, among other notable subjects. It's also important to note that it states: It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect. This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable. This explicitly rules out the most common justification being used for removal. (And this meeting seems to have clearly met it already.)

2.) Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards. Clearly met. The event has received significant, international attention and has been widely covered on almost every major news network constantly for the past two weeks. It's also received comment from historians, political scientists, foreign politicians, majority and minority leaders of both the House and Senate, and the President of the United States. (as described below).

A multitude of sources have covered it in detail - including Yahoo! News, The Washington Post, Religion News Service, and many, many, many others.

3.) Events having lesser coverage or more limited scope may or may not be notable; the descriptions below provide guidance to assess the event.

4.) Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. Throughly discredited by sources. As of November 6, 2022 — two weeks after the fact — the meeting is still frontpage news on a majority of American news outlets, including Axios (here) and (here), The Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, Vice, Salon, Politico (here) and (here), National Review, NPR, Truthout, and Yahoo! News. One can debate the exact details of what merits notability for events, but it is now extensively abundant that this article meets the criteria of notability, including that of WP:10YT. This will almost certainly be memorable in ten years and is clearly not a WP:ROUTINE event.

Additional problems with proposed consolidation into each figure's page:

Instead of keeping the page: other editors have suggested merging the article into the Donald Trump and Kanye West pages.

This has its own problems. The current articles for Donald Trump (417,202 bytes) and Kanye West (333,646 bytes) are already among the longest on Wikipedia. Yet, merging the articles would require us to somehow both simultaneously preserve the overwhelming majority of the notable information contained within the article. In this case, editors are suggesting something that's frankly quite impossible. There's simply no way to easily consolidate the multitudes of information that are already existent on the situation. (And is rapidly growing everyday.)

The suggestion would almost certainly lead to a majority of *important information* contained within the article to be permanently lost.

Other misunderstandings of Wikipedia policy:

Firstly, Wikipedia:TRUMPNOT is explicitly not Wikipedia policy or a criteria for determining AfD's. As the lead of itself states: ...This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints.

Secondly, even if Wikipedia:TRUMPNOT was policy, it still would not be applicable in this case. Wikipedia:TRUMPNOT is simply a reaffirmation of existent Wikipedia policy. Stating that 1.) A lot of chatter on politics Twitter is neither reliable nor secondary. If no "real" media source has covered this latest outrage, stop there. 2.) Wikipedia can't cover it either. If there are at least some news stories talking about the issue... it depends. Was this an actual policy change, or just everyday celebrity churnalism? Are the sources heavily partisan ones (far-left, far-right, or opinion blogs)? 3.) Even if there is media coverage, if it's passing insubstantial coverage, consider leaving the topic alone, per WP:DUEWEIGHT. None of these sentences apply to the article. Editors seem to be using the concept of Wikipedia:TRUMPNOT to argue that there's an exceptional criteria for notability for articles related to Trump. That's simply not the case. Nor is it argued by Wikipedia: TRUMPNOT. As mentioned above in my initial comment on the AFD: this seems like a clear keep. It passes WP: GNG with flying colors. It will almost certainly pass WP: LASTING and WP: EFFECT. Ex cetera, Ex cetera, Ex cetera, Ex cetera.

Does it clearly meet the criteria of WP:DEPTH? Yes. Does it clearly meet the criteria of WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE? Yes. Does it clearly meet the criteria of WP: DIVERSE? Yes.

As I mentioned before, this seems like an extraordinarily slam dunk case to me. KlayCax (talk) 09:56, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @KlayCax:, you have made your point repeatedly. Several experienced editors do not agree with your interpretation of the guidelines. Please stop WP:BLUDGEONing. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 10:19, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As shown by the article's edit history, I've only made three major posts/responses about the matter. (And cast one vote.) One of them was my original post. One was a response. The other the above. All of them were in light of updated information. It's Wikietiquette that editors should respond in a new comment than retroactively alter edits in AfD's that are multiple-days-old. The fact that "several experienced editors do not agree with your interpretation of the guidelines" is precisely why I replied to their concerns above. Comments after casting a vote are normative and in line with Wikipedia editing. Since many of the suggested arguments were not mentioned at the time I originally responded, it was needed.

As mentioned in the guidelines: If you came here because someone asked you to, or you read a message on another website, please note that this is not a majority vote, but instead a discussion among Wikipedia contributors. Wikipedia has policies and guidelines regarding the encyclopedia's content, and consensus (agreement) is gauged based on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes.. So the number of comments I make is irrelevant to the final decision made. Ultimately, it's the strength of the arguments that matter. Not the numerical tally of the votes. Thus, it's not my intention to WP:BLUDGEON. Like other editors here who have made multiple comments/responses - there's nothing illegitimate about making multiple comments within reason.

I've only commented on a small minority of votes. Thanks. KlayCax (talk) 10:56, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps read WP:BLUDGEONing? To bludgeon is to constantly repeat an old argument without addressing new criticisms. This post is the contrary; it's the most comprehensive attempt so far to address new !delete arguments. If you’re going to quote an essay to question an editor’s conduct, I’d instead quote WP:AADD and especially WP:JUSTAPOLICY, which encompasses a great many one-liner !votes so far (and sadly, especially the !delete ones). If some people cite an essay (RECENTISM, NOTTRUMP) as justification to delete (and for quite a few, without presenting any arguments), and someone attempts to present arguments for that essay not applying, it's hard to fault that as nonconducive to a constructive discussion! DFlhb (talk) 13:07, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLUDGEONing is, more generally, to "dominate the conversation in order to persuade others to their point of view"; repeating one's arguments is only one common example.

I'm not familiar with these sources and they may just be tabloids for all I know, but I did find these two [8][9] which might be worth something. If not, I couldn't really see anything else and I'm not particularly confident in this one.

And for what it's worth, RoundTeen, would you mind explaining your reason behind removing the PROD? QuietHere (talk) 21:52, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is another one of Ghazaalch's POV WP:COATRACKs. There have been several already deleted such as "Western support of dictators" and "United States hypocrisy". The topic of this article can already be found in the article People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (where it's written with more neutrality). Alex-h (talk) 20:56, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete In my opinion the article speaks to current events regarding a small detail within a larger story, the larger story having a place within a much larger context. The presentation of fact, concisely, in context and with NPOV would be far better for everyone. Looking at MEK (and the many many larger related articles that run-on) from the possibility of keeping I found this quotation that applies to the approach taken to push POV a "fierce battle to control the narrative is now being fought online."

  See my comment below. There's rough consensus built over the years that the main MEK article must be trimmed, summarized, and/or split. MarioGom (talk) 13:08, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Alex-h nominated this article for speedy deletion some days ago saying that the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page –People's_Mojahedin_Organization_of_Iran#Propaganda_campaign. Because of the duplication. Then I explained that it is not duplicated,(there was not event a mention of the troll farm in that article) and that the main article, People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, is already too long as has been mentioned many times by nearly all users editing in that article. Then Deb restored the article. After that Alex-h moved some of the content of this article to MEK article to make another point. Two minute later he nominated this article again for deletion saying that it is WP:COATRACK; while it is just a spin-off article for another article, Troll farm#Albania and that there are many analyzes and reports about the subject, MEK troll farm, including the following:

• Middle East Eye: the UK's Independent published its own investigation into the MEK - the “darling of Washington” that has “created a state within a state in Albania” - also addressing the group’s generally repressive nature and the existence in the camp of what amounts to a Twitter troll factory'. ... Obviously, the wild proliferation of fake accounts committed to demonising the Iranian government serves not only to warp beyond recognition the reality on the ground in Iran, but also to ultimately justify whatever form of “democracy” the US feels should be violently installed there.

• The Guardian: the group’s main work in Albania involves fighting online in an escalating information war between Iran and its rivals. Heyrani, who left the MEK last summer, says that he worked in a “troll farm” of 1,000 people inside the Albanian camp, posting pro-Rajavi and anti-Iran propaganda in English, Farsi and Arabic on Facebook, Twitter, Telegram and newspaper comment sections. ...According to Marc Owen Jones, an academic who studies political bots on social media, “thousands” of suspicious Twitter accounts emerged in early 2016 with “Iran” as their location and “human rights” in their description or account name, which posted in support of Trump and the MEK. These accounts, says Jones, were created in batches and would promote Trump’s anti-Iran rhetoric using the hashtags #IranRegimeChange, #FreeIran and #IstandwithMaryamRajavi.

• The Intercept: Any remarks about the group or even Iranian politics in general can be expected to be met by scores of MEK-supporters commenting through replies on Twitter and other social media. Many of the pro-MEK accounts will repeat the same messages, often word for word, swarming the mentions of any commentator. Geoff Golberg, an expert on social media manipulation and founder of SocialCartograph, a social media mapping firm, took particular note of Alavi’s Twitter account, which appears to act as a node in an online campaign to boost the MEK’s profile. The account is heavily promoted by other pro-MEK accounts, as well as supporters of the group’s policy of confrontation toward Iran. ... “The Heshmat Alavi account is part of a group of accounts, which, for years, have engaged in coordinated inauthentic behavior,” said Golberg. “The account is connected to thousands of inauthentic MEK-focused accounts, many of which regularly engage with the account’s tweets. ... Alavi persona is not what it claims to be. The use of fake identities to conduct political propaganda has become common in recent years.

• AP News: SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Facebook said Tuesday it has removed hundreds of fake accounts linked to an Iranian exile group and a troll farm in Albania... Facebook determined the accounts were being run from a single location in Albania by a group of individuals working on behalf of MEK. Facebook found other telltale clues suggesting a so-called troll farm, in which workers are often paid to post content, including misinformation, to social media... For one, researchers found that the activity seemed to follow the central European workday, with posts picking up after 9 a.m., slowing down at the end of the day, and with a noticeable pause at lunch time. ... “Even trolls need to eat,” said Ben Nimmo, who works on Facebook’s global threat intelligence investigations, on a conference call with reporters Tuesday.

• Al-Monitor: what many Iran observers had suspected from the outset, a Twitter troll factory meant to influence the already contentious debate over Iran. According to the Al Jazeera report, the exiled Iranian opposition group Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK) has set up a center at its headquarters in Albania, where 1,000-1,500 "online soldiers" are instructed to promote hashtags in support of overthrowing the Islamic Republic. Two former MEK members told Al Jazeera that they would receive specific daily orders on what to highlight regarding Iran and also which specific Iran analysts to attack on social media, often sharing the White House's critical messages against Iran and amplifying their tweets via bots.

• Middle East Eye: Facebook removed hundreds of fake accounts linked to an Iranian exile group and a troll farm in Albania. The social media company said in a statement on Tuesday that it removed more than 300 accounts that were a part of a network tied to Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), an Iranian opposition body previously designated a terrorist group by the US. The social media giant observed that while the network had limited success in gaining any kind of meaningful audience, it was run by "what appears to be a tightly organized troll farm linked to an exiled militant opposition group from Iran". The accounts, including Facebook profiles, pages, groups and Instagram accounts, posted content critical of Iran's government while it "routinely praised the activity of the MEK". A number of tactics were used to disguise the fake accounts, including using photos of Iranian celebrities and dissidents, and also changing profile names.

• The New York Times:I wasn’t shown the computer suites, which defectors had portrayed as a kind of troll farm: junior members using multiple accounts on Facebook and Twitter, typing messages that criticize the Iranian government, lionize the M.E.K. leadership and promote its paid lobbyists. When Mr. Giuliani and Mr. Bolton made public speeches in recent years, members were ordered “to take a particular line and tweet it 10 times from different accounts,” said Mr. Mohammadian, the former member.

• The Independent

• ... MEK members based in the organisation's Albanian headquarters were encouraged to tweet pro-MEK propaganda. Heyrani noted that MEK members in the Tirana HQ received daily orders and that it was 'their duty' to praise anti-regime comments issued by politicians across the globe. Conversely, anyone who was not sufficiently critical of the ranian regime, or anyone who criticised MEK, were subject to attacks by MEK's troll farm.^[1]

Ghazaalch (talk) 19:33, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The topic is notable, since there is significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Merging to the main article is not an option, since there's a strong push to trim, summarize, or split People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, so split articles make sense. I think the scope of the article could be broadened to cover MEK online propaganda in general, but I think that's beyond AFD scope. MarioGom (talk) 13:06, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The few sources (some of them not even reliable) used for this article are mainly made up of allegations. These allegations are from people that have supposedly left the MEK (such as Hassan Heyrani?), and we don't include random accusations from the public as the basis for encyclopedia articles. All of this is already in section 'Propaganda and social media', within an article that provides context (such as 'Disinformation through recruited MEK members'). Rather than trimming, the main problem in People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MeK) has been (and still is) POV pushing. Alex-h (talk) 07:55, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Alex-h: As I said before, this article is a spin-off article for Troll farm#Albania. Why are you insisting that this is part of another article? Because you recently moved part of this article to that one? Because we have an article for Philippines, shouldn't we have an article like Fake news in the Philippines? Or because we have an article for Turkey, shouldn't we have an article like AK Trolls? How many sources does an article like this need? And which one of the given sources is not reliable? This article is consisting of two sections. One of them includes the interviews. The MEK does not let people to get inside the Tirana Camp and interview with the online solders working there. So most of the interviews are with the MEK members who escaped from the camp. And they are not a few. The Guardian reporter for example writes that they fled the country to the EU and the US, but around 120 recent MEK escapees remain in Tirana ... I spoke to about a dozen defectors, half of whom are still in Albania, who said ...^[1] We cannot decide whether the interviews are reliable or not, we just rely on reliable sources.Ghazaalch (talk) 09:27, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom and others, this is a small detail part of a much larger context, and anyways it's already in the main article. None of the "Keep" votes addressed this. Clearly a coatrack article. NMasiha (talk) 13:02, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@NMasiha: we have troll farm articles for different countries: AK Trolls for Turkey, Russian web brigades for Russia, 50 Cent Party for China, Fake news in the Philippines for Philippines, Public opinion brigades for Vietnam, and so on. Why shouldn't we have the same article for Albania and MEK that has a state within a state in Albania? Ghazaalch (talk) 04:54, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge back to People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, no independent notability. This is not a keep vote. Stifle (talk) 15:13, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment None of the comments that have been voted for deletion could challeng WP:Reliability and WP:Notability.They mostly talk about the integration of new content created for this article into the so called main article, while the main problem of the main article is that it is too long, and the effort is not to make the problem worse.

The wild wild story of the MEK we read: MEK paid western political influencers fees to pen op-eds and give speeches – and to lobby for its removal from the list of designated terrorist organisations.Ghazaalch (talk) 03:47, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - there are many networking, training, and associations on many topics; there is nothing I see which makes (or has made) this particular organization notable.

Clearly a case of mistaken identity as the Olympic database this was article was based on has since been updated so he is no longer listed as a competitor (wikidata Olympedia entry relayed to a profile for John Adam (sailor)). Accordingly, this information has been removed which leaves just a snippet detailing his membership of the committee conducting the events. Unable to find any significant coverage of this individual. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 14:32, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Not sure if he's notable for Wikipedia or not but there are sources that say "J A Gardiner" was a member of the silver medal winning crew: YACHTING OLYMPIC RACING ON THE CLYDE in the Scotsman 13 August 1908; Merseyside Olympians: The crew of the Mouchette; Results of the early modern Olympics; https://web.archive.org/web/20161203052522/http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ga/j-a-gardiner-1.html Piecesofuk (talk) 14:57, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  As I say, Olympedia (more up-to-date copy of the same database maintained by Bill Mallon et al, and used by sports-reference.com) has been updated and no longer lists Gardiner as a member of the crew of the Mouchette, with a note explaining his role as an official and that Adam was the crew member [10]. Unfortunately, sources are often not definitive for this era and must be used with caution, but Olympedia is probably the most authoritative, having been accepted by the IOC. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 15:05, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  The 1908 report in the Scotsman lists him as a crew member and Adam as the reserve, it also mentions a J A Gardiner as one of the officials in charge, so there might be two J A Gardiners? Similarly the Results of the early modern Olympics source suggests Adam was the reserve and Gardiner the crew member Piecesofuk (talk) 15:15, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  I wonder if he was James Alexander Gardiner mentioned in a profile and obituary in the RNLI archives, he was a member of the Clyde Yacht Club where the 1908 Olympic races were held: https://rnliarchive.blob.core.windows.net/media/1261/0274.pdf#page=23 and https://rnliarchive.blob.core.windows.net/media/1318/0333.pdf#page=41 Piecesofuk (talk) 16:42, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Seems like a reasonable deduction. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 13:05, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Commment - as noted in the nomination, there are many "review" sites out there re-posting press releases or advertorials. Of these only the last one seems independent, and advertising that the site lost its captive Dolphins due to negligence is probably not the greatest selling point for a water park.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   09:55, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Well, the first two sources are reliable mainstream news sites in Pakistan and can't be promotional about any non-notable park. The rest also don't appear to have any connection with the park admins.

  There is some coverage in Urdu news media as well:

  Urdu Point

  City42 tv

  Also, "independent coverage" doesn't necessarily mean "negative coverage". Insight 3 (talk) 10:22, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rupples (talk) 00:18, 26 November 2022 (UTC) These sources are known to the nominator of this AfD as they were pointed out as reasons to keep the article when the same nominator initially proposed deletion in 2020, yet have not been added to the article.

This is the THIRD time this page has been recreated, see here The Second Discussion Overall, I would argue this is a GNG violation Cleave and Smite, Delete and Tear! (talk) 17:16, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: notable and improve-able —¿philoserf? (talk) 21:49, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Also, the number of time an articles has been created of deleted has no standing. This subject stands as it is today and should be judged for today. What was not worth keeping in 2014 or 2018 bares no relation to late 2022. Our world is not static. —¿philoserf? (talk) 21:53, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The positions he held (county comptroller, local newscaster) do not inherently convey notability, and no significant coverage to suggest he's out of the ordinary. He ran for a number of positions that would have certainly been notable... if he had won. But trying for such a position and finishing thirds does not make the cut. TJRC (talk) 01:44, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: This figure is a controversial and important politician and journalist from Western New York. His life has been chronicled in over 500 newspaper articles, TV interviews and blogs; he has appeared on national news a multitude of times, has been a candidate for federal office and is arguably more notable that lesser-known NY politicians like Angela Wozniak or Joel Giambra, to name just a few. He is currently pursuing public office; and he is extremely relevant to current affairs in Western New York, a huge geographic area. Deleting this page is a mistake and a disservice to notable, local, politicians everywhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KittyHawk2014 (talk • contribs) 04:41, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. People still do not get articles just for serving as county comptrollers, or for standing as non-winning candidates for higher offices — to be notable for either of those purposes, he would have to be shown to have nationalizing coverage establishing not just a reason why he was notable within Western New York, but a credible reason why he was notable across the entire United States, which is entirely absent here. Once I discount the primary sourcing that isn't support for notability at all (Our Campaigns, YouTube, his wedding registry at Kohl's and the paid-inclusion obituary of his mother), what's left is purely run of the mill coverage within Buffalo's local media market, of a type and depth and volume that's merely expected to always exist for every local politician in every media market. Again, what would have to be shown is that he has a credible claim to being seen as a special case of significantly greater notability than most other county comptrollers or non-winning town or county council candidates in the United States — which has not been shown at all. And neither is it Wikipedia's job to keep articles about everybody who's currently pursuing public office, either — we are not the media, and "equal time for every candidate in the election" is not our mandate. Our job here is to look past the daily news cycle, and ask ourselves "if this person accomplishes absolutely nothing else in his life, such that what's already true today is the absolute peak of his notability for all time, then is this already enough that people on the other side of the country will still be looking for an article about him a decade from now?" — and nothing here is giving me an affirmative answer to that.
