The only source to mention this figure is the Clementine Recognitions, as part of its clearly anti-pagan "black catalogue" of Jupiter's "adulteries".

Redirect to Proteus for the time being, as not notable on its own until more sources are found, but no reason to deny the interested reader easy access to the one sentence to say about him. That's a fun one, as there seem to be a number of uses of the name Nympheus, but only the "son of Zeus" one being present at Wikipedia (or Wiktionary for that matter): Nympheus also seems to be a spelling of Nimfeum, place of nymphs/[1], an ancient town/[2] or harbor/[3], painting by Monet, textile, two different rivers and a cave mentioned by antique authors, a bay (at one of the rivers?), a "Saracene general", and more.

Comment, out of interest Karnataka, why did you single out this episode for deletion when there is practically a dedicated article every episode of the series? The others that I checked at random all seem to be equally as lacking in notability or sourcing that maybe a discussion about the entirety of the episode articles would be warranted. For what it's worth, I don't see a reason why we need to have dedicated articles for the episodes, so I am probably broadly in agreement with you, and so I would wonder if an article per series instead, with a single sentence to cover each episode would be more justified. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:59, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Bungle I completely agree with you - what I had done was bundle every single episode with the exception of the pilot into a single nomination, which turned out to be perceived as very silly to the point where it affected a request that I had made. So I instead closed that and nominated two episodes before getting busy, then nominated this one at a later date. I planned to nominate almost all other episodes separately after that, but I forgot. — Karnataka ^talk 17:30, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Campus of Bates College[edit]

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

Bates College is a small liberal arts school in Maine with less than 2,000 students. This particular article has become a repository of images, supplemented almost entirely of primary or exclusively local sources with a direct connection with the college. The information is best merged back into the article, which is already quite comprehensive, rather than being parsed into an article like this one that has become a dump for media, unsourced WP:NOR, and a WP:PROMOTION for campus features.

Comment: the Bates College article is already tagged:
- "This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. Please consider splitting content into sub-articles, condensing it, or adding subheadings. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page."

My advice is to clean up this article of any WP:OR and WP:PROMOTION and leave as is.

Delete While individual buildings on campus are clearly notable, I don't see this topic as a whole being independently discussed by secondary sources, meaning there are WP:SYNTH concerns. SportingFlyer T·C 18:59, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral defaulting to weak keep - I'm changing my vote on the assumption that there have to be sources which pass WP:GNG here. This article needs a lot of cleanup, but it's a typical split for a college or university, and we're only a couple secondary sources away from showing notability. SportingFlyer T·C 22:16, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ as a needed subpage of the oversized Bates College. If this page is deleted now, it's going to get recreated in the near future based on the ((very long)) template on the main Bates College page. As for problems with the article, "cleanup ≠ deletion". Bates is an elite school known for its campus, so it's not surprising the campus would have a subpage, as opposed to one of the 50 ugliest campuses.

(Actually, a case can be made that the worst of those 50 campuses are probably more notable for all the wrong reasons, but I digress.)

--A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 20:16, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reply @A. B. I don't think any of the issues you raised would justify a whole Wikipedia article for a college with just 2,000 students, elite or not. When I added the ((very long)) tag back in April, there was significant bloat, but now the article is a pretty average length for a college/university; I've since removed the tag. We should be aiming for condensing information rather than preserving a page that has become a repository of images and excessive information for the school. Like @SportingFlyer mentioned, this article also doesn't have the notability either; 2,000 students is minuscule, and the college certainly doesn't need a whole other article unlike a school like Texas A&M University.

We should aim for something like the article for Pomona College, a liberal arts school which has all its necessary info in one article. GuardianH (talk) 01:05, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation, @GuardianH. You've clearly given this thought and I trust your judgement.

--A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 01:15, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My problem with it is that the vast, vast majority of sources here are primary. The ones that aren't are on specific buildings. I looked to see how Notre Dame University did their campus page - first North American university that I thought of that would have a well tended Wikipedia garden - and it actually has a similar problem: mostly primary coverage, all about specific buildings and not the campus as a whole. (That also has a lot of sources so perhaps I scrolled past the good ones, but "Top 50 campuses in America" is clearly not one of them.) I'm not entirely sure what's the right answer here... it seems like these may technically fail WP:GNG but it's not necessarily content that needs to be deleted, if that makes sense. But I'm not quite at an IAR keep yet. SportingFlyer T·C 08:46, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Bates College#Campus, as an alternative to outright delete, especially as some content could be merged selectively and keeping the history is helpful. I am a bit on the fence about this, having considered the thoughts of SportingFlyer above too, but I am perhaps just about convinced by the nom's rationale that the size of the college would not ordinarily justify a substantially sized campus spin-off article, as well as being too close to needing a WP:TNT. It does seem like the sort of thing you would expect to read on their own website, rather than being a notable encyclopedic article. It could be a topic in future if someone really wanted to try and start it over again and find some reliable secondary sources, so I think a redirect is a fair balance.

Keep or merge. I can see arguments for keeping, merging, or even redirecting, deletion is clearly the wrong choice here. This is a collection of notable items, that is part of a notable thing itself -- it's in a sandwich of notability. If it were "List of various things on the Campus of Bates College with a high level of detail, it would probably meet WP:NLIST. The nominator is correct to criticize aspects of the sourcing, so merging might be the appropriate answer until someone can write up a properly referenced article here. If it's kept I can try to clean up some of the more promotional bits. —siro χ o 11:02, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

...and as far as I know there's no reason to redirect. Campus of X isn't a widely redirected name space, or is it? JFHJr (㊟)

It would a former article that would be redirecting to a mention on another page, so it's completely proper to redirect if that's the choice here. SportingFlyer T·C 22:19, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think one of the reasons why we're struggling here is because of the oddity of the source analysis. The only "good" source in the article - ie not clearly primary - is a scholarly article which talks about an environmentally friendly dining hall. I also found a book, Designing the Maine Landscape (Mattor and Teegardeb 2009), which I only have access to the references, but clearly talks about the Bates campus, and discussed in College Buildings in New England Before 1860 (Tolles 2011) where I also only have access to the references but also clearly talks about Bates. I also found [4] which I can't read, and my search wasn't exhaustive, so there may be enough here to demonstrate notability, but even then those may not talk about the individual buildings on the campus in the way the article does. It's almost a WP:TNT thing... SportingFlyer T·C 22:27, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and Merge. I mostly agree with nom’s points. The sources here simply do not meet WP:GNG, and this section could easily be incorporated into the main article for the college. I agree with User:SportingFlyer here.

I do disagree with considering the number of students the college has, however. It has nothing to do with meeting notability, so nom should refrain from using this argument in the future.

However, I do think it’s worth considering User:siro χ o’s suggestion of making this a list. I’m not too familiar with list guidelines, mostly standard articles, however. And, I haven’t seen this done on many other college pages, perhaps there’s a reason? Vergilreader (talk) 03:18, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(For fourteen dollars, Sargent, who is known as Dr. Claw or the Chowder Surfer, would dress as a drug pusher and deliver a homemade lobster roll to your door.) His latest venture is a Cooking Channel program called “Hook, Line, and Dinner,” whose première was the occasion for the party, held on the terrace of a Chinese bistro in Williamsburg.[5] Andre🚐 19:03, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This artist is credited as a producer among other creative credits on several notable albums including some Tears for Fears and Enya albums. Beyond just trivial db entries/lists, we actually have short-but-nontrivial coverage across many sources [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], etc. Seems to cross the threshold of WP:BASIC, may also meet WP:MUSICBIO or WP:PRODUCER. (With a reminder that BASIC says If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability (with a long note explaining what types of trivial coverage are not included) (addendum, I've now evaluatd PRODUCER below as well, see my commment) —siro χ o 23:05, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

From the list of sources provided by this user, I cannot read two that are from Canadian newspapers due to database access. For all the others, every single one is about someone else's concerts or albums, with Mr. Cullum only being listed very briefly as producer or for other session work. That does not qualify for significant coverage, in which the subject needs to not only appear in a reliable source, but there must also be encyclopedic information that can verify facts in an independent article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:25, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. Let me describe my thought process on this subject, I hope this is helpful, I do not mean to be confrontational in any way. Per WP:SIGCOV "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. As this is a biography, examples of trivial mentions given in WP:BASIC include simple directory entry or a mention in passing ("John Smith at Big Company said..." or "Mary Jones was hired by My University") ... a birth certificate or a 1-line listing on an election ballot form is not. paraphrased by me of course.

Again note that, excluding trivial mentions, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability

Now each of these seven sources provides something short that meets SIGCOV, being not trivial.

The Paul McCartney source describes the success with Tears for Fear, high tech production, lush sound, and being more synth-sounding than McCartney wanted. All of this is tied directly to the subject's work and goes beyond a passing mention of the example above (like being hired)
The Enya source is similar, describing the subject's work directly and in detail.
Then we have a variety of short coverage that go beyond just "being hired",
- We have reviews of recordings that discuss the sound in depth. Keep in mind that recording production is a creative endeavor. To discuss the sound of the album and name the producer is to review the producers work.
  - Eg. an ethereal and juiced-up orchestral concept album built around Brennan's soaring voice and crystalline harp work..... It was produced by Ross Cullum (Tori Amos, Tears For Fears, Enya) and Chris Hughes[13]
- We have discussions of the artists' career and perception amongst peers and industry
  - eg. for example, Blake opted out of recording his album with hip label stablemate Howie B after just a few days, choosing producer Ross Cullum (who has worked with Enya) instead. The album was recorded at Cullum's studio The River in London[14]
  - eg. ...they were quickly signed by Universal Classics and Jazz who enlisted Ross Cullum, the man who worked with Enya, to produce their first album,[15]
  - eg. The creation of the "classical crossover" album Journey On followed a chance meeting with Zarecki, who convinced Hawkins to fly to his homeland to record the instrumental component of the album with Polish musicians, then travel on to London to record her vocals under the direction of another producer, Ross Cullum.[16]

We don't need any original research to extract content from any of those sources. And there are indeed more similar sources we can pull from, I stopped looking when I felt I had enough to demonstrate that I could write a start class article about this subject. We can attribute where necessary to keep WP:VOICE, and the variety of sources can help avoid WP:UNDUE weight.

Delete - The "Keep" voters above are trying diligently and probably in good faith, but Wikipedia's rules make it tough for producers who are only listed in the credits for other people's works. That is all that can be found in any of the sources currently used in the article or proposed in this debate above. I have no doubt that Mr. Cullum has worked with many important musicians, but he has simply received no media coverage in which someone highlighted his works and career in their own right. And that's what we need for an encyclopedic article with verifiable facts for the reader's benefit. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:29, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Since he was active in the mid-80s/90s, I was convinced that I could find significant offline coverage. I was wrong -- I searched ProQuest, Newsbank, and Newspapers.com and didn't come up with much beyond what is already mentioned.

There are two very positive sentences in the LA Times about his work with Emma Townshend: (Nichols, N. (1998, Mar 22). Pop music; album review; Emma Townshend "winterland" EastWest, home edition, Los Angeles Times) and a snarky paragraph in the Washington Post about his work with Moya Brennan. (Moya Brennan, Two Horizons" [final edition]. (2004, Feb 27). The Washington Post). There's also this, from in a story about Tears for Fears in the Sun-Sentinel: "They kept producer Chris Hughes from The Hurting, but elected not to use engineer Ross Collum (sic), whose meticulousness finally caused a split between him and Hughes while working on an album by the group Wang Chung." (De Atley, R. (1985, Sep 20).No tears, no fears for British (Sun-Sentinal edition).

There's a lengthy interview here: [27] It isn't a valid source, but there is a lot of information if anyone is up for doing a more targeted search.

Lists of Celtic clans[edit]

WP:OR WP:CROSSCAT of language family (Celtic languages) and geography (Category:Irish clans is a child of Category:Culture of Ireland; Category:Scottish clans is a child of Category:Social history of Scotland). The Celtic language family is WP:NONDEFINING for these clans, they could and often did have English or Scots as their native language. There is a strong consensus building on a long series of precedents to not mix up language families and countries/states, see the landmark decision Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Turkic dynasties and countries for an anthology. Besides, the "Celtic women" rename & purge of 27 June 2023 already confirmed people after 500 CE are no longer called "Celts/Celtic". To speak of Lists of clans of Celtic peoples, who disappeared from history after 500 CE, in reference to clans who did not appear until the High Middle Ages (after 1000 CE), is simply WP:OR.

That doesn't solve the issues. Groups of families in Ireland and Scotland speaking a mixture of Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, Scots and English from the High Middle Ages have very little to do with a purely language-based language family grouping across Europe and Asia Minor which disappeared in Late Antiquity. We just shouldn't lump "Celts" and "clans" together. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 08:33, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects only need to be useful in description as an example Accomodate is just a mispelling but the redirect is still useful. As "clan" is synonymous with "tribe," such a redirect would be useful. The term "Celtic tribes" has been used to describe the societal system of ancient celts. As an example.

From Hillforts to Oppida in ‘Celtic’ Iberia, by Martin Almagro-Gorbea, Proceedings of the British Academy

The spread of the hillfort phenomenon represents a growing instability. Moreover, demographic growth and control of summer pastures is reflected in the increased use of transhumance to avoid the winter aridity of the Meseta plains and the harsh winters in the mountains (Almagro- Gorbea 1987a, 42; 1987b). This process favoured a hierarchical social organization, evidence for which is provided by grave goods of Celtic warrior clans (Almagro-Gorbea1993,148). It was this, together with an abundance of iron in these regions (Maluquer 1987), which helped to underpin the vigorous expansion of the Celtiberian Culture.

"Clan" is also mentioned in relation to the Celts in: Celtic chiefdom, Celtic state and Decentralized Complexity: The Case of Bronze Age Northern Europe. Des Vallee (talk) 17:22, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you are mistaken. Clans and tribes are two different things. wikt:clan doesn't mention "tribe", while wikt:tribe states that a tribe is An ethnic group larger than a band or clan (and which may contain clans) but smaller than a nation (and which in turn may be contained within a nation).. Merriam-Webster confirms at clan and tribe that tribes are divided into clans, and several clans can make up a tribe. "clan" is more synonymous with "family" , "kin", or "house".

Redirect per Des Vallee. List of ancient Celtic peoples and tribes is the right place for this. Nederlandse Leeuw's objection that Clans and tribes are two different things is irrelevant unless they are suggesting that clans are also not people. PS: The claim that Irish clans didn't exist until 500 CE is either equally invalid or relies on a picky and stilted definition of 'clans' (such linguistic jiu jitsu is, I believe, exactly why the aforementioned list says 'people'). Cheers, Last1in (talk) 18:36, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Peoples, plural of the noun people (synonymous with "tribe(s)"). I'm not denying that clans are made up of more than one person (plural: people or persons; synonymous with "individual(s)"), but that is a different noun with a different grammar. I believe you are confusing the two nouns. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 19:32, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That makes even less sense. You have a definition of peoples that would not include clans? Whilst I'm certain you said it IGF, that is literally the worst argument for a delete that I've ever heard. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 20:04, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Last1in Ok let me try to explain to you what I also said above. In short: a "people" can include multiple "clans", and "peoples" is synonymous with "tribes".

But clans and tribes are two different things. wikt:clan doesn't mention "tribe", while wikt:tribe states that a tribe is An ethnic group larger than a band or clan (and which may contain clans) but smaller than a nation (and which in turn may be contained within a nation). Merriam-Webster confirms at clan and tribe that tribes are divided into clans, and several clans can make up a tribe. "clan" is more synonymous with "family" , "kin", or "house".

In other words, a "people" or "tribe" can include multiple "clans", but just 1 "clan" does not make up an entire "tribe" or "people".

Perhaps an analogy to what the dictionaries are saying works best:
A person / human being is like a tree.

A "clan" or "family" is like a group of trees of the same species which have spawned from each other's seeds.

A "people" or "tribe" is like a forest with several groups of trees of the same species, and a lot of cross-breeding between those groups of trees. They are all somewhat related as a species ("a people/tribe") and continue to interbreed, but you can still see differences between the groups ("clans/families").

I hope this helps. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 10:55, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To recap, a group of related trees is not a forest, since only groups of groups of trees qualify. 'People' means a group of individuals, whilst 'peoples' are groups of groups of individuals. Thus it is imperative that we completely scrap this topic name instead of redirecting because, when a person searches for tree-groups, getting a list of forests will completely baffle them. Readers should definitely not be allowed to see the trees for the forests. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 17:07, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Well sourced..

Vaazhai (2023 film)

Unreleased film that does not satisfy the notability guidelines for unreleased films, which are only notable is production itself has received significant coverage by independent sources. This article only says that the film is planned and that filming has started, so the article says nothing that implies film notability prior to release. The sources are largely in Tamil, but have been machine-translated, which is good enough to see that there isn't independent secondary coverage. None of the references are independent. They say that the film is upcoming. We knew that, but that doesn't make it notable. Maybe it will be when it is released.

Comment On the #Coaching section, it's written Gruhn is the head coach to Invicta FC's Elise Pone who trains out of Central PA Mixed Martial Arts. Elise Pone is also currently AFD and has been created by the same user in User:Mmareg. It seems Mmareg may possibly have undisclosed COI.

Budget Suites of America[edit]

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

Merge to article on owner Robert Bigelow. There appears to be no significant coverage in reliable sources. The topic fails basic WP:GNG. There are currently two references in the current article. The first to the LA Times fails to mention either Budget Suites of America or Robert Bigelow. The second is to the chain's own website. Checking possible sources finds no significant coverage. There are reviews of individual Budget Suites, primarily on travel sites, there are mentions of Budget Suites as being owned by Bigelow in articles about Bigelow's activities, and occasion incidental mentions in articles like, Living in hotels, students lose ground while dealing with cramped rooms and eviction fears, but no significant coverage. Merger seems appropriate as the chain's only significance seems to be that it is owned by Robert Bigelow. Note: the article was created in February 2005 by an IP editor who also created the Robert Bigelow article at the same time. --Bejnar (talk) 15:23, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep although partisan, it is an important book in documenting modern Irish history. In A “Manly Study”? Irish Women Historians, 1868–1949 (2006), Springer Verlag, author Nadia C. Smith states: "The Irish Republic, one of the most popular Irish histories ever written, made Dorothy Macardle one of the most famous and influential Irish historians of her generation." See, in particular: O’Halpin, Eunan (1999). "Historical revisit: Dorothy Macardle, The Irish Republic (1937)". Irish Historical Studies. 31 (123): 389–394. and Shannon, Catherine B. (2010). "Shaping Irish historical discourse". Irish Literary Supplement. 29 (2): 16–17. See also throughout the volumes Lane, Leeann (2016). Dorothy Macardle. Dublin: University College Dublin Press. ISBN 978-1-910820-09-4. and Smith, Nadia Clare (2007). Dorothy Macardle: A Life. Dublin: Woodfield Press. ISBN 978-1-905094-03-5., as well as Regan, John M. (2010). "Irish public histories as an historiographical problem". Irish Historical Studies. 37 (146): 265–292. There are numerous reviews of The Irish Republic including Mansergh, Nicholas (1966). "Book Review: Commonwealth of Nations: The Irish Republic". International Journal. 21 (3): 390–391. Additional reviews were published in 1937 & 1938, but I do not have access to those papers, for example, to The Times. --Bejnar (talk) 16:39, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. My own WP:BEFORE identified the same sources (which cover the subject in some depth and as an independent topic) as are noted by Bejnar above. I had added some of them to the article before coming to contribute to this discussion. To my mind, the volume of coverage of the book (its influence, relevance, neutrality, etc), seems to stand separate from coverage of the book's author, her life, etc. And so I would argue that the title should be retained. (If consensus is that the book doesn't independently meet GNG or SIGCOV, then - at the very least - the title should be retained as a redirect. Certainly outright deletion doesn't seem appropriate at all at all...) Guliolopez (talk) 17:00, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets the relevant standard. Moreover, it's already long enough (and judging by the O'Halpin source, expandable enough) that merging into the article on the author would be awkward. XOR'easter (talk) 21:34, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep and merge‎ into a single article. Most editors focussed on notability of the event in general, but the question of two articles vs one has also been addressed.

Kai Cenat riot[edit]

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

WP:NOTNEWS; a minor riot, that currently lacks the WP:SUSTAINED coverage required for events. While WP:NOTCRYSTAL forbids us from speculating about whether such coverage will exist, I will add that I don't see any indication that it will.

I am also nominating the following article; I would support redirecting both to Kai Cenat.

Delete or redirect to Kai Cenat per OP. — Czello ^(music) 09:49, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep riot article, merge giveaway article. Per WP:RAPID. The event happened less than 24 hours ago, so it's too soon to assume that this event will or will not be notable. Per WP:LASTING, "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." While I wouldn't rush to create articles that early on, I wouldn't support an immediate deletion either. However, since the giveaway caused the riot, I think it would be better to merge. S5A-0043^Talk 11:26, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I support redirection; if it turns out that sustained coverage does occur then the content is still there and can easily be restored. I consider that possibility unlikely, but regardless in the meantime we should not have an article in mainspace that doesn't meet our notability requirements. I note also that rapid isn't a reason to keep an article that has been nominated; it is merely a recommendation to delay nominating the article, that in this case I didn't feel was relevant. BilledMammal (talk) 11:31, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete the "giveaway" article per WP:A10. Draftify this article as a compromise between WP:NOTNEWS and WP:RAPID. My feeling is that this is just another slow-news-day story about influencers causing trouble in public and will be forgotten about before this discussion even closes, and that is precisely why an encyclopedia should not cover breaking news. Incubating in draftspace will allow time for proper coverage of the event to develop (instead of the "rush to publish something" stories we're seeing now), but most likely that coverage will just never happen. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 13:21, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge reduced details to Kai Cenat I guess we just forget teens did this at malls all the time for pop acts in the past, and back when the Beatles arrived in America. If this happens in some power center in suburban Denver nobody would care, but our old friend East Coast bias is here to oversensationalize what was at the end of the day just a badly-organized stuff drop. And it's bad form to name a 'riot' after someone, this must be renamed something better and deleted as a BLP issue. Nate • (chatter) 14:43, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment — The other article is not meant to cover the giveaway and only the giveaway. I chose the giveaway title because it described the entire event. The giveaway article is longer than the riot article, so the riot article should redirect to the giveaway article. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 15:27, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sebbog13 (talk) 15:40, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:SUSTAINED as it says "over a sufficiently significant period of time". This riot happened less than 24 hours ago as of my writing, developments since then include Kai taking a picture of the "riot" and posting it online: [49]. Another reason to keep is the WP:DEPTH of the coverage involved. (BBC), (CNN), (ABC). The 14th Street–Union Square station was also shut down during the riot. (Bloomberg) - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:14, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NYPOST - New York Post isn't a reliable source. WP:DEPTH isn't relevant here; the lack of sustained coverage is. BilledMammal (talk) 16:36, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BilledMammal: Okay, so how isn't WP:DEPTH relevant here? Both WP:DEPTH and WP:SUSTAINED are from the same notability (WP:N) guideline. You also have not addressed where it says in the guideline "over a sufficiently significant period of time". 24 hours isn't "significant" when it comes to events, and WP:DEPTH in those 24 hours also establishes notability. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:17, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't relevant here because they are separate requirements; SUSTAINED must be met to keep the article, and as you point out it has not been.

Both WP:DEPTH and WP:SUSTAINED are from the same notability (WP:N) guideline. DEPTH is part of WP:NEVENT, SUSTAINED is part of WP:N. BilledMammal (talk) 03:32, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Where did I point that out? I said WP:SUSTAINED does not apply given such a short time frame. Also where are you getting that WP:DEPTH is part of WP:NEVENT? Even if that were the case this riot counts as an event. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:00, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
When you said 24 hours isn't "significant" when it comes to events. SUSTAINED doesn't include an exception for length of time the article has existed; while WP:IAR may apply to some events, such as the Assassination of Shinzo Abe, it doesn't apply to all events, and I don't see a reason why it would apply to this event.

Also where are you getting that WP:DEPTH is part of WP:NEVENT? Follow the link to WP:DEPTH and check what guideline it is part of. BilledMammal (talk) 06:23, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge the giveaway and riot articles. Also, I'd argue that the riot carries more notability than the giveaway. —theMainLogan (t•c) 17:12, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both articles, merge content to the article on Kai Cenat, and include a mention in the PlayStation 5 article with a link to the Kai Cenat article. I agree with Nate above that this seems to be an East Coast bias issue. If a incident of similar size had occurred in Los Angeles, it probably would have been covered as a "melee" or "civil disturbance". Also, the only other video game console I am aware of that caused people to do desperate things is the Nintendo Wii. WP already covers what happened in that rather unfortunate instance in the article on KDND. --Coolcaesar (talk) 18:19, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The PlayStation is irrelevant. See The New York Times. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 18:48, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? That article states in the fifth paragraph: "Mr. Cenat and another streamer, Fanum, had announced plans to hand out PlayStation 5 consoles at the park at 4 p.m." So the PlayStation 5 is clearly relevant. I doubt that many people would have shown up if those two streamers had announced plans to hand out Chromebooks.--Coolcaesar (talk) 03:17, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's coverage of the PlayStation 5 does not need to include a tangential event. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 22:33, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge both articles to Kai Cenat. This event is quite significant for myself as this is the very first time that protests came about with gaming related events, as if they have been online only all before this, even during pre-COVID era. But in a wider sense, this event is not notable and only relevant in some parts of the world. MarioJump83 (talk) 19:41, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect both articles to Kai Cenat. Long term significance is zero. No deaths or serious injuries, a handful of arrests. Big deal. Subject fails WP:NEVENT WP:LASTING WP:GEOSCOPE WP:PERSISTENCE (coverage is already fading) and WP:SENSATIONAL. Both articles are a glaring violation of WP:DELAY. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:17, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The impression that I get is that you're presupposing that it's not notable and attempting to back that up. From USA Today, Cenat is due in court on August 18. Coverage will clearly exist for his arraignment. From the guideline about lasting coverage: It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect; plenty of other users have brought up that this AfD was opened rapidly. Not sure why this article has to be deleted when it's still getting routine edits. Riotous behavior does not need to rival January 6 to warrant an article. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 14:59, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. There have been 65 arrests, which I would argue is more than a handful, especially for something that was only intended to be a giveaway of electronics. As for there being no deaths, it would be immoral to say that a riot isn’t notable just because a family wasn’t devastated by the death of a relative (“your son must lose his life for this article to be notable” would be a very condescending notability guideline). As for there being no serious injuries, of the at least nine people injured, an officer was severely beaten and a minor suffered burns from a large firecracker. In addition to the above, I cannot name a single other giveaway with such an unforeseen outcome as this one, and I would be very surprised if anybody else could.

I understand why a lot of Wikipedia users would be biased towards scrutinising this article and therefore opting to delete or merge this article due to the sheer amount of (usually unsourced) fancruft surrounding content creators, but I also understand that if this was a regular riot, nobody would bat an eye as to wether it’s notable as a standalone article, especially since this article in particular is very reasonably sourced for an event relating to a twitch streamer. — Mugtheboss (talk) 18:20, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/Merge Both it's very clear that we don't need two articles on the riot/giveaway but I don't think we even need one, it's a single controversy related to a celebrity that will die down quickly and the large news coverage wasn't due to the notability of the riot but due to the fame of the person, so this can all be included in his bio article. EoRdE6^(Talk) 02:44, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I also note that most of the keep !votes seem to be making assertions without citing any policy or guidelines. Any objective reading of NEVENT leaves no real doubt that these articles do not meet P&G based criteria for inclusion. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:07, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Articles I tend to have inclusionist tendencies when it comes to deleting articles, but I feel like two articles that cover basically the same thing is excessive. I would be open to copying the bulk of this article into Kai Cenat's page, but for now I still support a separate article covering the riots. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 03:10, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I’m the original writer of this article. The reason I created it was due to the amount of arrests, the fact that this seems to have ended Kai Cenat’s career and will likely far outlive his relevance, the amount of property damage, and finally the amount of media attention this received. For example this was the first story covered on NBC Nightly last night. I feel that the aftermath will last for months if not years because of the circumstances that caused the riot will likely lead to legislation regulating social media events. I also agree with merging the Giveaway Article.

Hi CaptainAhab1841 Please read WP:NEVENT and also WP:DELAY. While your contributions to the project are appreciated, in this case it is likely the article's creation was premature and the subject does not appear to meet the community's criteria for inclusion.

It doesn't violate WP:NEVENT per WP:DEPTH and WP:LASTING, these arguments have already been drawn out above. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:09, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
DEPTH is one criteria, not exclusive of the others. LASTING is too silly for words. A "riot" that resulted in no deaths, no serious injuries, no substantial property damage, a handful of arrests and whose coverage is already fading? This doesn't pass the laugh test. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:13, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What's the laugh test? ImYourTurboLover (talk) 04:44, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What does the lack of deaths, injuries or proper damage have to do with whether the event meets the notability guidelines? Since when are those determining factors for if an event of this nature has a lasting impact? I assume you obviously don't mean that the riot needs said factors in order to be considered notable, let alone any riot. But isn't it enough that this event has had a plethora of news coverage that actually contextualized the event itself? I'd place my vote between a ~~merge to Kai's article and weak~~ keep because I'm still personally iffy on if this will have a lasting impact in a few years - maybe it will, maybe it won't, maybe it's too close to tell. But regardless, I think WP:LASTING's final sentence should also be taken into consideration: "This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable." Maybe we should've waited at least a week or so to nominate for deletion, but oh well, too late now. PantheonRadiance (talk) 04:45, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have addressed the failure of the two pages to meet our criteria for inclusion in my above merge/redirect vote. The arguments being employed for article retention here would set the bar so low that almost any civil disturbance that get a couple days news coverage would qualify. -Ad Orientem (talk) 13:06, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ad Orientem I read your initial response and besides your point on the event's lasting impact, I disagree with you. The event has already received international coverage from a plethora of sources outside of New York (The Verge, ABC News, The Washington Post), and even outside the US (BBC News, Reuters), so geoscope shouldn't even come close to qualifying. Sensationalism is somewhat debatable but I don't see any unconfirmed rumors, speculation or any sort of info based on poor fact-checking circulating from this event; plenty of reliable outlets not only verified the info themselves through their editorial process but also checked other reliable outlets as well. As for persistence, other editors above also pointed out that he's awaiting trial so there may be more coverage that comes in addition to the already existing news about the event. That may be crystal-ball speculation, but a bit of common sense and partial rulebending could apply for until that date happens. Finally, I'd argue that if it doesn't fully pass NEVENT, it at least meets criteria #2 of it based on the sheer coverage alone. I still feel it's too close to tell its lasting impact, but WP:RAPID aptly applies. PantheonRadiance (talk) 19:00, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Respectfully disagree with that topic meets WP:NOTNEWS. It's not original reporting, WP:ROUTINE news reports, who's who, or celebrity gossip. It also likely meets the WP:EVENT per "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 (as described below)." This topic has received widespread national and international coverage- so far, it has received coverage in The New York Times [50] [51] (two articles, which is about as WP:SUSTAINED as you can get for such a recent event), CBS [52], Reuters [53], The Guardian [54], USA Today[55], AP [56], CNN [57], NBC [58], among many others.

Merge and redirect both to Kai Cenat per nom and Ad Orientem, and WP:10YT. For a somewhat analogous example, we have Peekskill riots as distinct from Paul Robeson for good reasons. Robeson's career was long and varied, as is his article. The riots (plural) were sustained events that had social and political implications, and fleshing out the details in the parent article would be out of scope and add unnecessary length. None of these considerations apply here, where there is no need for a WP:SPINOUT. There is plenty of room in the parent article to add this, probably the most significant event so far in this very young influencer's life. StonyBrook _babble 04:02, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@StonyBrook, Kai Cenat riot is no longer a standalone article, so what we're discussing is whether Kai Cenat Union Square giveaway is notable. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:29, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To reiterate, I am saying that the contents of Kai Cenat Union Square giveaway should be merged to a section within the parent, the title redirected there, and that Kai Cenat riot should also be redirected to that section.

Merge to Kai Cenat as per WP:LASTING. While multiple reliable sources have covered the incident itself, this event, contrary to typical riots that have their own article, doesn't have an encyclopedically significant purpose/cause and, let's be honest, won't have any longlasting effects that makes it significant enough to keep as its own article, if any longlasting effect at all (which it probably won't). B3251 (talk) 17:45, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep & Comment - This should not have been a standalone article when it was created (see No Hurry View One). Now that it has been, it's the poster child for the reverse, WP:RUSHDELETE. The worldwide attention to this is undeniable (if bewildering). If the nom had been delayed for a mere 48 hours, an AfD on this would never have been suggested and it would have been a merge discussion on Talk. Will that notability be sustained? Probably not, but I don't know and neither does anyone else. If the coverage vanishes, come back to the talk page in a month or two (not tomorrow) and RfC a merge. Until then, it's widely sourced, (currently) relevant and (currently) notable. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 18:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I do get the delete arguments due to the lack of sustained coverage over a long period of time, but it would be a little silly to try and wait weeks or months to create any WP article on a recent event. We don't do that for any other topic, why do that for this? There is quite a lot of coverage for this event now (honestly I'm surprised by the level), who's to say it will continue or not continue with said coverage? I would say it loosely fits WP:NEVENT anyway, and there is no harm in keeping it. If it turns out to not have sustained coverage, we can merge it into the main article later. BTW, this article was definitely created too early, but as the coverage stands now, it deserves an article. ULPS (talk) 20:47, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Been contemplating this for some time, and after checking Google News today and reading this discussion once more, I'm officially voting keep. I think many of the people voting delete or merge have missed the point on why others see the significance of this event. It isn't just about the deaths, injuries, arrests or destruction of property. Rather, it's emblematic of the societal impact of social media along with the dangers of parasocial relationships, and how this event is a consequence of these two ideas merging. A few hours ago this NPR piece was published that commented on how the riots reflected the influence of content creators on younger people, citing a researcher’s thoughts on the situation. The police and city officials also argued the same thing as shown in this AP News piece as well. It may still be a bit too soon to tell whether this will have a lasting impact, and we won't know if Cenat will get charged until after the 18th. However, if it does have a lasting impact, it stands as a cautionary tale on the disconnect between social media and reality, and what happens when people with unmitigated access to the internet seep into the real world. In that case, I'd say that it meets #1 of WP:NEVENT. PantheonRadiance (talk) 02:00, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep now, open AfD later if event isn't found to have lasting significance. The fact of the matter is: the people who are young and terminally online are overestimating its impact, while people who are more experienced and live in meatspace are underestimating it.

I skew younger than some on this site but far from Cenat's age group and I would not consider myself "terminally online", but the impact is what it is. I created the giveaway article after seeing the coverage in The New York Times, which signaled that this event was not just an instance of fans attending an event à la an average Taylor Swift concert, but a riotous event that tested the NYPD's response to a rapid mass gathering. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 22:33, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There's been continuing coverage days after the event (see this morning's NYT), this triggered a code-4 NYPD response of which there have only been three this year (one for significant gun violence in the Bronx around the 4th of July, the other for the first arraignment of Donald Trump), numerous arrests were made, and Cenat himself has been criminally charged. It seems exceedingly likely local coverage of these proceedings will continue. U-dble (talk) 03:30, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bene Tleilax[edit]

Unlike Bene Gesserit, the lesser known Tleilaxes are much less notable - in fact, I think they fail WP:GNG (hence this AfD). The article is a plot summary referenced to the novels; my BEFORE is not showing anything good to save this. While we could redirect this to Organizations of the Dune universe, it would be just pushing the problem a little down the line, as I doubt the Organizations... article is encyclopedic, either. Perhaps a better redirect would be to Heretics of Dune, the novel in which they play a major part. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:24, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative versions of Robin[edit]

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

Another poorly referenced fan trivia. References are 90% comic books (primary fiction sources) and few mentions in passing in other sources. No cited source suggests this topic exists outside Wikipedia, its forks and perhaps (under a differnet name?) on some fan sites. The topic fails WP:GNG and/or WP:NLIST ("This page is a list of the alternative versions of Robin in comic books") and is nothing but a (poorly referenced) plot summary. At best, we can consider SOFTDELETE by redirecting this to Robin (character) (no objection to merging a bit of plot summary if anyone thinks it is relevant). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:56, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Not enough here to justify a standalone article for this. Agree with nom in whole that this is completely WP:FANCRUFT, and even if this subject was notable enough for a standalone article, it would need a TNT. User:Let'srun 03:25, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and trim. This is a poorly executed WP:SS child of Robin (character), which means we can either 1) merge V content from here to there, because N is not an issue, or 2) Clean up this article and leave it here. Piotrus is categorically wrong on notability: the subject of this article is the same as Robin (character), which is a notable topic. Making a separate article to fully cover a topic due to SIZE issues doesn't affect notability. For actionable changes, this article should not list Robin variants covered in the parent article, and each entry should have primary or secondary sources--again, N is not at issue--to meet V for the facts stated, and secondary sources for opinions or conclusions. Jclemens (talk) 06:18, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- This is addressed at WP:AVOIDSPLIT: "Article and list topics must be notable, or "worthy of notice". Editors are cautioned not to immediately split articles if the new article would meet neither the general notability criterion nor the specific notability criteria for their topic. In this case, editors are encouraged to work on further developing the parent article first, locating coverage that applies to both the main topic and the subtopic. Through this process, it may become evident that subtopics or groups of subtopics can demonstrate their own notability, and thus can be split off into their own article." So I think notability absolutely is relevant, whether or not this is a "child" article. Josh Milburn (talk) 06:30, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
IF as you say "the subject of this article is the same as Robin (character)" then the obvious policy is Wikipedia:Content forking. We don't need two articles on the same subject. This is just a bad subarticle - fanish plot summary of a part of the main article that has no stand-alone notability. Merge is the best we can do with such WP:FANCRUFT. And no, SUMMARY style split is not relevant here, b/c articles have to be notable. All we have here is plot summary, and that's non-encyclopedic trivia. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:08, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There do not appear to be any non-primary sources on the topic of alternate Robins outside of listicles. Thus this is a failure of WP:LISTN and the WP:GNG. The few versions that may actually be notable enough for a bit of coverage can be done on the main Robin article, as is already the case. And, of course, complicating things further is the fact that all of different major versions of Robin (i.e. Tim Drake, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, etc) all have individual articles, each with their own "alternate versions" section which duplicates a lot of the information here, making this a unneeded content fork of multiple articles all at once. Redirecting to Robin (character)#Other versions seems to be about the best WP:ATD possible here, and I would not be terribly opposed if other editors would rather do this than Deletion, as well. Rorshacma (talk) 15:10, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think for most of these "Alternative versions" articles, where there isn't any reliable secondary coverage of the grouping, merge is the right solution, an WP:ATD both preserving history, and moving an appropriate amount of missing information into the main article. —siro χ o 01:47, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge as WP:ATD. This is already covered at the main article. Otherwise fails WP:LISTN and WP:GNG as an independent topic. Shooterwalker (talk) 23:35, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comments - On one hand, I really would like to Keep, because having this all on a single page is MUCH more convenient for our readers and provides a nice overview of the various variants. There's a good page to be had here. However, this should be laid out much more in line with summary style. This is, I'm sad to say, a convoluted mess. That said, I think it's fixable, and therefore saveable. So for now, I support turning this into a Redirect to Robin (character), which can easily be restored should this be cleaned up. If consensus is to delete, then merge whatever is salvageable/appropriate.- jc37 23:51, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The page does not meet the notability criteria for biographies. The page does not provide sufficient coverage from independent, reliable sources that address his life and career in depth. Many of the references seem to be related to business transactions or deals, rather than addressing Udodov himself and his significance.
