Soft Delete -- Weak Keep -- The recent changes by Darcyisverycute just barely (imho) move this to the 'good' side of DICTDEF. There is just enough backgound and foundational info to make it 'more than'. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 13:16, 22 December 2023 (UTC) // Original: The article as it stands is a DICTDEF, but a future article could be created by someone knowledgeable in the field. The phrase has a storied history and has evolved over the last century. Without subject-matter expertise, however, there is virtually no method to research this. I know some of the that history and I can't even come up with WP:THREE. There just is no way to separate the wheat from the chaff in searching books, journals or other sources with two of the most common salutatory terms in the English language.

At minimum redirect to Ariadaha#Education, the area in which the school is located as an AtD if sources deemed insufficient to support notability for a separate article; the school's already listed there. Possible merge of some of the school's history. As the first AfD showed there are news sources about the cutting of pupils' hair as a disciplinary measure in 2022.[1] Coverage is Kolkata-wide and may amount to state-wide but it's questionable whether this meets what's suggested by prominent scandal of WP:NGO. In any case the event by itself is not sufficient to meet notability for the school under NORG or GNG. The sources in the article are school listing websites and the school's own website, which have no bearing on notability, although taking into account the age of the school there may be offline sources reporting for example, its centenary. Rupples (talk) 08:40, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Very weak redirect: This is definitely an edge case, while the sources in the previous AfD are certainly something, I'm not sure that one incident is enough to pass NCORP or GNG. Redirect instead of delete per Rupples. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (she/they 🎄 🏳️‍⚧️) 03:02, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Having these cross-namespace redirects is a bad enough relic, but creating a disambiguation page for 5 such redirects which all point to the same page anyway, with a name (MOS:VARS) which is as far as I know not in use anywhere, only helps to clutter the search bar.

Moot. Never mind; this has been mooted by changing it to a redirect to WP:VARS, which is probably how I should have done this in the first place. As for the original nomination above, back when this was a DAB page: the entries don't all point to the same page; "clutter the search bar" seems to be a meaningless or at least inapplicable phrase; pretty much no page is in much if any use the moment it is created (and this AfD was opened almost instantly); and while DAB pages in pseudo-namespaces like "MOS:" that are not true namespace aliases like "WP:" are rare, there is no policy or guideline that prohibits them (especially for a pseudo-namespace created with affirmative consensus for it, as "MOS:" was, to stop hogging all the sensible/memorable "WP:" shortcut strings for MoS targets). So, this wasn't a stellar deletion nomination, but an WP:IDONTLIKEIT knee-jerk reaction. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 18:08, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a bit clueless of people to have created an entire fake namespace in the encyclopaedia namespace when everything from WP:MOS/ENGVAR to WP:MOS/VAR has been there for the taking all along. Sub-pages work in the project namespace. Uncle G (talk) 20:34, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  [shrug] Wasn't my idea, and this isn't a referendum on a community decision dating to 2006. Given the lack of many if any notable real-world things with names that start with "MOS:", it's ultimately harmless. I would be more concerned about pseudo-namespace redirs that pretty much no one uses, yet which have an enormous possible number, e.g. "CAT:", "T:", "H:" (well, that one's pretty limited), and "P:" (see WP:NS#Pseudonamespaces). I can just imagine someone getting the idea in their head that every category should have a "CAT:Foobar" redirect for it, and so on. The "MOS:" ones are used all the time, but the others are just claptrap. Same with misspelled versions of the "MOS:" one, like "MoS:" and "Mos:"; we generally delete these at WP:RFD because they are disused clutter. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 01:01, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hopewell, Blount County, Alabama[edit]

This seems to be more of an area than a specific settlement. The maps show a few buildings but no concentration, and while there is a Hopewell Church nearby, it may just be coincidence as "Hopewell" is a common name for a Baptist church, and there's another in the county which attracts more Google attention due to its cemetery.

And indeed, pre-2021-feature-code-squashing the GNIS feature code was … drumroll … "locale", so Wikipedia is lying about places to the world again. Uncle G (talk) 11:32, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not "lying", the local county newspaper refers to Hopewell as a community, regardless of whether it is notable. For some reason I got mad that you said Wikipedia is lying so I found those references. lol.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 13:08, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes it is, and it contains thousands of these lies. We had one that turned out to be stating the falsehood that a well in the middle of the Sonoran Desert was a populated place just a few days ago. A "locale" is a feature code that is not a populated place, which was by contrast "ppl". And as Mangoe has already pointed out, Hopewell Road in that newspaper article is the location of Hopewell Church (which had its own GNIS record that originally said "church" as the feature code, amusingly enough). You have coatracked something about a different place onto the lie. Uncle G (talk) 14:32, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Uncle G, wait, is this well, "Queens Well"? Described as a "village of 15 homes" by the Tuscon Citizen in 1993[4] and a Papago village with solar equipment constructed in 1982[5], and an "outlying Indian village" in which 3 homes were destroyed in a flood in 1962 where the "Red Cross is feeing and clothing all the residents of Queens Well."[6]?--Milowent • ^hasspoken 17:16, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not WP is being in some sense accurate here, any accuracy is purely accidental, as this article was mass-created by someone who routinely called all these places "unincorporated communities". I don't know if I'd go so far as to call them conscious misrepresentations, but the level of negligence coupled with the euphemistic color of calling places "communities" is particularly galling given the persistent pushback against any kind of wholesale cleanup, much less what goes on when these are nominated one by one. Mangoe (talk) 14:49, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

G, my addition is about the same Hopewell community, the Hershel Jones road referenced in that newspaper article is near the GPS location linked in the article. I think there would be probably be little pushback against editing "locale" articles to say locale instead of unincorporated community -- I realize that may render them more likely to be non-notable.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 16:55, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

County island[edit]

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

The page shows no source for its term, or its definition. Sources that exist are seemingly isolated to a single state and primarily a single county in said state. There is not substantial evidence of notability of the term in wide or official use outside of a small regional area. If any amount is salvageable, perhaps it should be merged as a subsection of Unincorporated community.

In addition, the page attempts to be a list page, it is woefully incomplete, uncountable, and also includes places that show no indication that they are referred to by the term, making it rather ORy. Keith D. Tyler ¶ 05:14, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'm not seeing sources that use and define this term. JMWt (talk) 11:21, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- That's because phrase matching doesn't find it. One has to know what sort of books to read.

Keep but probably move to a more widely known term per nom and WP:COMMONNAME. Here is an article that notes that "Twenty-three states have specific unincorporated island provisions in their annexation laws." The problem of course is that the terminology in this area is as fragmented as the law, but from an initial search I'd suggest unincorporated island (218 hits on Google Scholar, used in statutory law of at least three states). An alternative term would be municipal underbounding, but it's not quite the same thing. As a last resort this could be merged to municipal annexation in the United States, but I don't think that would be especially helpful to readers or editors. -- Visviva (talk) 19:18, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a real and notable feature of municipal boundaries in the United States. A move to unincorporated island is probably also a good idea. Eluchil404 (talk) 02:19, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - All 4 article are essentially match reports, 3 of which talk about how some of the players confronted the referee during the match after disagreeing with an on field decision with one of those articles being pay-walled however it appears to be duplicate of the others.

If the experts who decide whether this is a volcanic field have decided that they were mistaken and that there is no such field, surely Wikipedia should follow suit? Special:Diff/1186683457 boggles the mind. The clear rationale seems to be that the article is false and not supported by the experts any more. That is unverifiability, and a basic reason for deletion that has been in deletion policy since 2003. Furthermore: As I have said elsewhere I think the answer to A. B.'s question is that the NERC‐BGS will follow suit soon enough, since its database, it claims^[1], is a join on the Smithsonian's; and soon Smithsonian record #225002 will be there no more. It all depends from when it imports and how it handles records that get deleted and no longer join to its own data. Uncle G (talk) 07:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As this is an article I wrote, I believe (according to rule.4 on the "How to Contribute" section) I should say there may be a COI? I have no other relation to the event outside of that of course.

At any rate, saying the article is a 'recycling of Hamas propaganda' is a dishonest framing. The article goes through pains to state that the claims being made, are in fact claims from Hamas. That is not biased. Hamas is at the end of the day making these claims. Furthermore, the deaths of 60 IDF soldiers in one ambush is very much notable, seeing as how other attacks like the Shuja'iyya ambush, which claimed the lives of 9 IDF soldiers, remain. Genabab (talk) 22:13, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're not getting it. The notability that you're referring to rests entirely on Hamas' claims, which have not been verified. Since you mention it, I encourage you to take a look at the Shuja'iyya ambush and note the differences between that article and this one. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 22:18, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:Mikrobølgeovn

> which have not been verified.

This is not entirely true:

Quoting from the following source:

https://www.newarab.com/news/hamas-releases-video-showing-israeli-camp-attack

"The video comes two days after the Qassam Brigades claimed a major attack on an Israeli encampment south of Gaza City. "At dawn today, the Qassam fighters were able to monitor the positioning of dozens of occupation soldiers (60 soldiers) inside tents at their positioning point east of Juhr al-Deek," the statement claimed."

Now I know that you will claim this is not enough, as it is only Al-Qassam making the claim. Really this isn't a problem, since the source stresses that it is only al-Qassam making the claim.

HOWEVER!

"Israel has not confirmed the attack but did reveal the names of at least seven soldiers killed in fighting around Gaza since Sunday. Details on army casualties are subject to strict army censorship."

Hamas publishes what is clearly a video of an attack on the IDF, (see above). The IDF then does not comment on the attack but does say seven soldiers died.

As a compromise I propose the addition of 7 (per IDF) (after all, the IDF's claims are no more reliable than Hamas') in the casualties list. Genabab (talk) 23:48, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While events within a war certainly can be notable, in this case it is questionable if the event ever happened. It could be an invention to boast Hamas funding, support, and morale. Hence we work by SIGCOV in RS. gidonb (talk) 23:53, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Videos have been published of the attack in question, as was brought up on the talk page of the wikipage in question. The question is less if the attack happened, and more how many died. While Israel hasn't commented specifically the IDF did publish casualties of 7 killed. Genabab (talk) 01:00, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article indeed claims that there are 7 casualties according to Israel. I followed the source. It's a website called "The New Arab". That is not an Israeli source is it? This is the text on which you base your claim above: Israel has not confirmed the attack but did reveal the names of at least seven soldiers killed in fighting around Gaza since Sunday. Details on army casualties are subject to strict army censorship. So this event has never been confirmed and we have no RS that this ever happened. And these seven casualties (if correct) needn't be casualties of this supposed battle. They'd be Israeli casualties in the Northern Gaza Strip over a certain time span. The Hamas movie, doctored by the creators, appears to show soldiers somewhere and sometime at a camp. That's not a valid source AND not proof of ANY ambush, in the article specific in space and time. Hence I will add WP:OR and WP:SYNTH templates to the article. To the closing person: these are additional reasons why this article should be deleted and speedied. OR and SYNTH cause huge damage to the reputation of WP. gidonb (talk) 01:34, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I never said it was an Israeli source.

Is it wrong to say that the point the article is making is that these 7 casualties are tied to the ambush, or that the video is from the ambush as well? I'm not sure how that could fall under synth or original research... Genabab (talk) 09:28, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We do not create articles based on inferences in Hamas movies. Nor ISIS movies or Al Qaeda movies or Boko Haram movies. We're an encyclopedia not a clown show. The fact that this is not a movie of any battle only makes things worse. gidonb (talk) 10:40, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Article is based on a single unverified and rather fantastical claim by one of the parties, which has not received significant coverage in reliable sources. Compare to the ambush in Shuja'iya, which was readily admitted to by Israel. PrimaPrime (talk) 01:54, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This is speculation and otherwise just a bit of bit of WP history and coincidence. Around 2004, I detected my first major hoax at Enwiki. It was a clever multi-article plot with themes borrowed from the central garbage dump of Israel (now the Ariel Sharon Park) and the Israeli-Palestinian conflct. We're some 19 years further, yet Juhor ad-Dik is the central garbage dump of Gaza. By the Juhor ad-Dik creator, I also detected a questionable article of USSR/British history and there are some red flags on their talk page. I have asked for an expert opinion at the other article. gidonb (talk) 06:37, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to 2023 Israel–Hamas war. Not every component of this atrocious war is independently notable. Even if it did happen exactly as Hamas claims (I have no opinion on that; please consider that a blanket caveat to the rest of this !vote), it is far WP:TOOSOON to tell whether this supposed ambush will prove to have an enduring WP:EFFECT independent of the overall war. For this particular article, the sources are WP:PRIMARYNEWS; no secondary analysis of this portion of the attack has emerged; in-depth analysis does not exist at all yet; and the reporting around this element of the attack has not been WP:SUSTAINED outside the one-week window around the purported event. If it happened and the sources evolve to explain it, the event should be covered in appropriate detail in the parent article. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:55, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Appears to be a minor battle with little to no coverage; what's used for sourcing isn't in RS. Oaktree b (talk) 16:03, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No Israeli RS has reported on this nor has any other non-Hamas news agency reported on this (CNN, BBC, Reuters, AP, etc.). 60 soldiers killed in a single attack is not something that can be kept secret in a country like Israel so I very much doubt this even happened. Regarding the video, all we see is one video where someone is taking a very close video of soldiers, and a second video of an explosion from far away. There is nothing in that video that can confirm those two videos are from the same event. This seems like propaganda and fake news from Hamas. Until non-Hamas RS report this, this should be deleted and its content not merged into any article. Gonnym (talk) 19:38, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tragic but non-notable event. It is one of the countless airstrikes of the 2023 Hamas-Israel war.

Regarding the phrase (countless in war), please note that this is the first air strike during the war that targeted the first residential tower in the Gaza Strip.

There are at least two books that refer to this library (The German book "C++ Schnelleinstieg", ISBN 9783747503249, page 45, that praises ease of use for C++ beginners, and Soft Computing Applications, ISBN 9783030519926, page 289). At the time I wrote the initial version of that article, I found out that many other GUI libraries on wikipedia (see some to the ones mentioned in section "see also") did not have more notability evidence (e.g. some have no references at all, some have only blog references, some have only self references except one reference to a financial transactions), and the sources provided appeared sufficient in comparison. I do not object to the deletion , especially as this library does not seem to be maintained anymore, but if this article gets deleted, there should be equal treatment and those other ones lacking notability should be deleted as well.

Santa Claus machine[edit]

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

This is an unreferenced WP:OR. The concept is notable but it is also a likely content fork of Molecular assembler. I suggest WP:ATD-R redirecting it there, unless a better redirect target is proposed. Due to lack of footnotes, I am afraid there's nothing to merge. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:18, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Molecular assembler: per nom until the term is notable enough for a standalone article. Owen× ☎ 15:48, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Like it's stated in the nomination, I think this topic is notable. The article is in bad shaped due to lack of citations, but its basic tenets can be verified by e.g. this book by Freitas and Merkle. Thus it is not a case of WP:TNT in my view. I also don't think it's a content fork of Molecular assembler: While I see similarities and some overlap, secondary sources do not equate them, and so we probably should not either. Specifically, Freitas and Merkle distinguish the two concepts by the Santa Claus machine focussing on the macroscale and the molecular assembler focussing on the micro/molecular scale. Daranios (talk) 16:29, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Obviously a distinct concept from the "molecular assembler", though it might not be at the WP:COMMONNAME for such a device. Maybe Replicator (device) may be a better name for it. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:10, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Zxcvbnm @Daranios Distinct how? I am genuinly interested in the answer; I find the concept fascinating (and I was aware of it for many years) but AFAIK this is, again, just a cool synonym for molecular assembler. I've added some refs to the article, but it seems to me just like a synonym for the general concept. And I don't think the macro vs micro scale makes sense; [8] explicitly notes that "The famous “replicator” of the science fiction television and movie series “Star Trek” also functions as a Santa Claus Machine". SCM does not have to be big, it can operate on small level. In fact, per that article, if it is created, it will replicate itself and there will be many such machines. Note that Replicator (nanotechnology) redirects to molecular assembler. Replicator (Star Trek) is arguably notable due to popculture impact of the show, but the name variant we discuss here is much more niche. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:14, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: On the one hand compare the macroscale definition with the microscale defininition by Freitas and Merkle. And/or directly the chapters for Taylor Santa Claus Machine and Drexler Molecular Assemblers. To summarize myself, while I see some overlap, the molecular assembler centers around the ability to "move molecular objects, position them with atomic precision". The Santa Claus machine on the other hand just vaporizes raw materials, then sorts by element (that's the one step done "atom by atom"), but the reassembling is then done on a macroscopic scale which is already feasible today, more or less using manufacturing techniques already available today. Star Trek's replicator plotwise can do the same, though there might be more limitations upwards then for the Santa Claus machine. From the in-universe explanation, it creates its matter directly from energy, no processing of raw materials required. All those concepts obviously have the same general idea behind them. But both scientists and sci-fi writers sat down and came up with distinct variations within that overall idea. And I think we should document those as long as they are backed up by enough secondary sources. Daranios (talk) 13:30, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thinking a bit more about it, it seems to me that "Replicator (???)" could be used as the name for the parent idea of all these variations, as Freitas and Merkle use "(Kinematic Machine) Replicator" as the heading for both discussed types. But I am not familiar enough to say if this would be the WP:COMMONNAME. And I am open with regard to the question if Santa Claus machine and the other concepts would better be discussed in various articles or sections of a parent article. Daranios (talk) 14:33, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Daranios Right, although some arguably have stand-alone notability for various reasons. I don't think this one does, however, and I still not convinced the macro/micro scale distinctions are significant enough to warrant splits. That said, I am not seeing many other articles right now that would cover the same topics. It would be nice to hear from someone more familiar with the physics dimension. Is this a serious topic or more of a sf trope? Google Scholar hits at "About 29 results" do not inspire much confidence in the former. And Topmpa Dompa query below also don't do it for the latter, hence the notability concerns. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:16, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: In my view there are simply enough secondary sources to allay notability concerns in my view (the one I've quoted, the ones Zxcvbnm has listed below, and just to add two more, Robot Spacecraft, p. 208-209, and The Spike each have a good paragraph). It seems to me now that it is more of a scientific than a sci-fi concept, which might explain some of the dearth of results within TompaDompa's search. Which brings me back to what I've already said, that in my view this is fine to have a stand-alone article, but covering it within a larger context based on WP:NOPAGE might be just as good. And yeah, input form "someone more familiar with the physics dimension" to decide that would be great. Daranios (talk) 16:01, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Daranios For a scientific concept, I'd like to see at least one academic paper mentioning this in its heading (seeing such stuff is why I've just created the article on artificial planet). WP:SIGCOV issue, I guess, and as we all know, it's a blurry line between a passing mention and in-depth treatment. I don't think a paragraph here or there is enough if we have a valid redirect&merge target, but - let's see what others think. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:46, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment For what it's worth, the Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction does not have an entry for this term, nor does Brave New Words: The Oxford Dictionary of Science Fiction. It also does not appear in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. A simple Google Books search gives some results, though it's worth noting that there are some false positives (such as the title of a Pettson and Findus story) and this source which is derivative of the very Wikipedia article under discussion (and therefore unusable). My (admittedly cursory) WP:BEFORE search came up with significantly less material than I would expect for a notable science fiction concept, so it may be that this and related concepts belong at an article with a broader scope. It could also be a terminology issue, I suppose. At any rate, the current version of the article needs to go. TompaDompa (talk) 21:44, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I stripped the article down to a barebones version, removing most of the unsourced material (had I removed all of it, nothing at all would have remained). TompaDompa (talk) 21:48, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TompaDompa: Surely you could also add something instead of just WP:DEMOLISHing the article. There are sources out there that are usable if one looks for them. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:27, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We can presumably all add material if there are freely available usable sources, just as we can all remove material that needs to go.
I have to say that "demolishing the house while it's still being built" describes the situation here extremely poorly: the article was created back in November 2005, initially as a redirect to Assembler (nanotechnology) (a page that was later merged with Molecular assembler). The content was first added to Santa claus machine (note different capitalization) back in December 2005, and then copied-and-pasted (rather than the page moved) to the current title. Jumping ahead a decade or two, the article remained entirely unsourced when it was nominated for deletion on 12 December. Nobody edited the article whatsoever between that and my removal of unsourced content on 15 December. By no stretch of the imagination can this be considered "still being built".

Delete per policy of Wikipedia WP:NEO:

Articles on neologisms that have little or no usage in reliable sources are commonly deleted, as these articles are often created in an attempt to use Wikipedia to increase usage of the term. Care should be taken when translating text into English that a term common in the host language does not create an uncommon neologism in English. As Wiktionary's inclusion criteria differ from Wikipedia's, that project may cover neologisms that Wikipedia cannot accept. Editors may wish to contribute an entry for the neologism to Wiktionary instead.

बिनोद थारू (talk) 00:46, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The concept appears under the term Santa Claus machine in a number of books and scientific publications. Not a very large number it seems, true, but I personally think this is above the threshold of WP:NEO. Also, as I believe there is enough on the concept to fullfill WP:WHYN, why not document it? As the term has been around since 1978, I don't think this article qualifies as an attempt to increase usage of the term. Daranios (talk) 20:09, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I mention that policy because the structure of this article is like a dictionary entry (definition and origin) and the concept is seemed to not be based in many sources. Also, I missed to mention WP:NOTDICT too. बिनोद थारू (talk) 21:30, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An earlier use of the concept under a different name is the "Autofac", in a 1955 Philip K. Dick story of the same name, in which a factory is set up to make all sorts of goods for humans out of raw materials, only to become a threat to the humans because it is using up all the resources to continue making the goods. BD2412 T 04:00, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but find a better name. There is a clearly notable and well-trod concept in science fiction of a machine that can make whatever you want from raw materials. BD2412 T 19:37, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Close as no consensus, channel opinions to discussion This has been going on long enough that the immediately prior delete !vote is based on a significantly different version of the article that looks reasonably like a dictdef of a neologism... only that's a substantially different version of the article than the one that was nominated. If this is AfDeletion rather than AfDiscussion, the clear answer is that we're not going to delete this, but whether it's improved, merged, or something different can be hashed out outside of this process.

If their product is notable, then there will be sufficient sources to write an article about the product. Notability of a product doesn't transfer to notability of the company - see WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 11:30, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but the company is synonymous with the product. It's all they make. That's why WP:NCORP says: In cases where a company is mainly known for a single series of products or services, it is usually better to cover the company and its products/services in the same article. Why? I Ask (talk) 23:15, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability of the company. HighKing⁺⁺ 11:30, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - our colleague above unhelpfully provided a search engine result, however it did actually provide a source to discuss. This is a a conference presentation which was then published as an academic proceeding, and appears to be on topic. There appears to be another published paper that cites it, but I have not been able to establish the reliability of that journal. I see other whispers, it seems like there may be other sources (including non-English ones) if we dig a bit deeper. JMWt (talk) 08:49, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly not a hoax; multiple national titles and long racing career, as covered in The Press newspaper between 1978 and 1988 at PapersPast. The Press is the only NZ newspaper currently with full online coverage from this period. Given that Tracey was from Auckland, and The Press is a Christchurch newspaper, it is safe to assume that there would be even fuller and more extensive coverage in the New Zealand Herald and Auckland Star newspapers during that period.

Keep -- First off, it is inherently dangerous to try and re-establish notability for recent-but-pre-internet phenomena. It's easier to find good, online, academic resources about events in the 1780s than for 1980s. I agree that most of the sources for the article are primary, but not all. A 2009 journal article [13] discusses the scheme, as does a recent thesis [14] (though the latter is not a quality source). I think on balance, the article provides solid, verifiable info and enriches the encyclopaedia. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:16, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't regard a thesis as a reliable source. Can you find WP:THREE quality sources? LibStar (talk) 22:31, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot. However, that does not (in and of itself) require deletion of the article. I am not in this field and do not have access beyond publicly-posted works. If this were a new article, I might !vote to draftify, but it's a long-standing one about a subject rooted in a period about which secondary sources are thin on the ground. I just don't think deleting it improves the encyclopaedia since there are sources, both those already cited and the journal article I mention above.

Merge to Special Assistance Program (Australian education), or what can be salvaged. Second option would be to keep. Most of the article is unsourced, and there is almost certainly significant coverage in newspaper reports, but I expect most of them to not be scanned/publicly available due to copyright issues and it would be virtually impossible to integrate them unless an editor happens to live in Victoria and investigate it themselves. This is a particular issue for 60s-90s buildings and programs in Australia, as most of these newspaper reports enter public domain after 70 years [15]. As it reads right now, I also think there is a modest possibility of copyvio of offline sources, and I think it would be better to just merge the cited and/or verifiable material into what seems like the parent article of the topic. This is not withholding the possibility that in future this could change, but I think the topic would be have more encyclopedic value if merged into the parent article considering this is a program which only ran in Victoria, and the parent article is only 1076 words at time of writing so there is definitely room for the merge. Darcyisverycute (talk) 06:02, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note that I am not opposed to a keep in principle, as there is presumed coverage according to WP:GNG with the high likelihood of offline sources existing, I just think a merge would make the content more useful. Darcyisverycute (talk) 06:05, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chawar Dynasty[edit]

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

Also nominated: Raja Chanwarsen.

These two articles needs checking to see whether they are verifiable in reliable sources or not (in which case they need deletion), or just need to be moved to the right title.

The Chawar or Chanwar Dynasty seems to be based solely on the works of Raj Kumar, who discusses a "Chamar" dynasty. There are no books about a Chawar Dynasty[16] and one mention of a Chanwar Dynasty[17], but there is one author who has extensively written about a Chamar Dynasty[18]. But one would expect many more sources about a dynasty that apparently ruled "the western part of India and surrounding areas" for 600 years.

The articles have some sources which seem to have nothing to do with the subject at all, e.g. Raja Chanwarsen uses this book[19] as a reference?

There are no book sources (in Latin script) about a king "Raja Chawarsen"[20], nor for Raja Chamarsen or Raja Chanwarsen. Perhaps some other spelling will give results? Fram (talk) 10:16, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for Chawar Dynasty but oppose Raja Chanwarsen. You can't catch him because he is spelled differently in English and Hindi. Please conduct research before initiating an AfD. He was a king not a dog! India had over 500 princely states, ruled by Maharaja (king). Clearly passes WP:NPOL. 2001:2042:6C20:F200:4531:44AE:5916:820A (talk) 13:16, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow I don't think Juan Ramón Jiménez's Platero and I, a famous early 1900s Spanish poem about a donkey, actually has a lot to say about Raja Chanwarsen... This makes me suspicious of the other sources. The one Hindi source links to a seemingly AI-generated news4ocial.com piece that claims Chanvarsen (@Fram might want to search this spelling) and the dynasty were written about in great detail in the book "History of Rajasthan" by a "Colonel Taad Mahoday" (this is probably James Tod). The article also uses a pic, helpfully captioned "History", of unrelated erotic sculptures from the Jain Adinatha temple, Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh, so...reliability is questionable. The page also has this disclaimer: "Disclaimer: The information and information given in this article is based on general information. News4social does not confirm these. Before implementing these, contact the concerned expert." Chamar refers to a dalit caste and alleged dynasty that Chanvarsen may have belonged to. JoelleJay (talk) 19:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The image used on the Chanwarsen page is of Karna, not Chanwarsen, and was stolen from the cover of a book. I've nominated it for deletion at commons as copyvio. Not sure what has to be done on en.wp end? JoelleJay (talk) 02:35, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both. Of the five sources used in the dynasty article:

Kalpaz publications looks like a predatory publisher that doesn't do any peer review or even copy-editing of manuscripts.
Victor Rosner in Anthropos makes no mention of any dynasty, he is talking about chawar, which is a type of headdress made from false hair.
Onni Gust in Victorian Studies makes no mention of any dynasty; it is the preceding article by Angela Thompsell that mentions the Chamar, but that is in reference to the Dalit caste of that name, which is obviously very, very far from a ruling dynasty.
Jankari Today does not meet the requirements of Wikipedia:Reliable sources.
The Joshua Project is utterly useless and rightly condemned at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources.

Raja Chanwarsen reigned for 600 years, if you believe his article. I think we can take it as read that such claims are not substantiable. The sources at Chanwarsen are the same, or as bad, as the ones in the dynasty article. DrKay (talk) 18:02, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ATHLETE is related to football as well, am I missing something? I mean there is a section "Professional sports people" with various sports and football is not included, but that only means that we can't use some specific criteria for football to prove notability like in other sports.

Keep while the title may be a bit atypical, this is essentially a "World/universe of the Wheel of Time" article, which may well pass muster. I don't see a BEFORE, and while I don't want to in any way dis what TAnthony has been doing, the decision to have such an article or not, per franchise, tends to be an editorial decision rather than a policy mandate. (Oh, and GNG is met because the topic is "The Wheel of Time" which is clearly notable) Jclemens (talk) 00:08, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment With respect to WP:BKD, it is certainly not the case that a derivative article about a thing from a self-evidently notable book or series is notable just by association. There needs to be significant coverage about the setting from reliable sources, and that isn't in the article. That the citations allude to a Wheel of Time Companion is a good indication there may be lively commentary about the Wheel of Time series out there. I agree a WP:BEFORE is necessary here before assessing whether to keep or redirect the article. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 03:01, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Again, the topic of "The World of the Wheel" is "The Wheel of Time" franchise, much like the topic of a "list of X" is "X". This is a nuanced thing, so I don't fault people for getting it, but the title of an article is not always the topic for which notability must be established. As you note, there appear to be multiple dead tree sources addressing this fictional world. I haven't read any of them, or the series itself, so I'm commenting from a place of policy understanding but topic ignorance. Jclemens (talk) 03:41, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This article was just created in 2021, perhaps the editor had great intentions but it has always just been a detailed, somewhat crufty list of locations not really tied to the plot arc, and some exhausting coverage of channeling and the "magical" aspects. With basically no sourcing. I've been expanding The Wheel of Time#Setting in a succinct way, with sources. If I add a couple of paragraphs there about the geography, I believe that the key aspects of this article will be adequately covered between The Wheel of Time and List of The Wheel of Time characters. Redirecting this article now is harmless, it can always be revived at a later date if someone has the time and interest in making something decent out of it. And to clarify my previous comments, the current version of this article is nearly identical to how it was before I touched it, except for the lead. Thanks.— TAnthony^Talk 04:37, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd appreciate some guidance on where your thinking is coming from. Without secondary sources providing context, I would have thought a page describing a fictional concept, thing or setting enters the territory of WP:NOTPLOT, with the following policy question being whether it can be concisely summarised in the primary article. I don't have experience in this area and am happy to be wrong on this. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 06:10, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not inherited like that. The topic here is not The Wheel of Time franchise itself, but its setting. The parallel with "List of X" is completely nonsensical. And while notability is a necessary criterion for a stand-alone article, it is not a sufficient one (WP:NOPAGE). TompaDompa (talk) 17:16, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course notability is not inherited, but "not inherited" is not relevant when two articles share the same underlying topic. WP:NOTINHERITED is an essay portion, fundamentally about personal relationships and has nothing to do with identical vs. adjacent fictional topics. Jclemens (talk) 20:28, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But they don't share the same underlying topic. Surely you understand the difference between a work of fiction and an in-universe element of that fiction? Surely you understand the difference between The Hobbit and Bilbo Baggins? TompaDompa (talk) 01:16, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tor Books was the publisher of the Wheel of Time series, so I do not think that the sources fulfil the independent requirement outlined in WP:GNG. Z1720 (talk) 19:07, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Tor.com is an online magazine published by the same publisher. The independence is at the same level as any other magazine published by a book publisher. It's not in fact the voice of the publisher or any imprint. I had voiced the same concern, and it has been considered independent in the past. I investigated myself and agree. Their about page[27] and FAQ[28] also reflect this, a choice quote Tor.com is publisher neutral, and we operate in our own special corner of Macmillan, the publishing company that also encompasses Tor Books.

Of course, we'd almost certainly need a source independent of Tor.com as well to meet GNG for a fictional element like this. I haven't been able to dive to deep into the academic sources yet. One was an edited student work, but probably not sufficient for GNG. Another provided coverage of political aspects of the books, without getting to deep into the fictional geography, borderline probably. Haven't found anything sure to be convincing yet though there is more to investigate. —siro χ o 18:27, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The academic paper Bards and Gleemen: from the Middle Ages to Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time has 1.5 pages directly on the subject, focussing on the broad concept and magic, ah, pardon me, One Power, rather than geography. Plus some more comments here and there. Daranios (talk) 16:13, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The PhD thesis QUESTING FEMINISM: NARRATIVE TENSIONS AND MAGICAL WOMEN IN MODERN FANTASY analyzes how feminist ideas are central elements in Robert Jordan's fantasy world (while I have my own ideas on this...).

Redirect to The Wheel of Time#Setting. I think this topic is probably notable, the content could most likely be verified at least by primary sources, and I will be sorry to see a few details go which are not yet present at that target (like a bit more on Shara than where it is). But overall thanks to TAnthony's work the target is just in better shape (sourced for one) than what we have here.

Keep Merging this content into the featured article on Edgar Allan Poe would only invite cruft, though I do think the sourcing here is somewhat better than other similar lists.

Merger is silly. There is a huge overlap between this random pile of factoids and Allusions to Poe's "The Raven", Annabel Lee#Adaptations, A Dream Within a Dream#Adaptations, and the many other Poe-related articles where adaptations and suchlike are listed. In fact, let's see what happens if we remove those, for starters. Uncle G (talk) 07:54, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Eliminating the overlap eliminates almost half of the article, with lists already in the other articles, often containing much the same items. Even this article has duplicates. It's possible that with all of that removed there is a form taking shape, here, but the problem still is sourcing. A couple of experiments trying to source some of the items left reveals that it is very difficult to confirm much more than song titles in some cases, let alone the detailed claims about the works. Uncle G (talk) 13:55, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is not necessarily a part of Edgar Allan Poe in popular culture because not all music is "popular music". More important, it is large and significant enough to be a separate (sub)page. My very best wishes (talk) 17:02, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Virtually none of this is cited; it's an original research essay that has ballooned into an uncited WP:COATRACK. Any noteworthy musical adaptation of, or noteworthy reference to, any of Poe's works belongs on the wiki article for the work – and even then only if cited reliably. If there is no article on the Poe work, then the information belongs on the wiki article for the music piece, but only if reliably cited. (If there is no wiki article on the musical piece, then it likely lacks sufficient notability to mention anyway.) If for some reason this article is kept, all of the uncited material should be wholesale deleted. Softlavender (talk) 04:41, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: a common case of the indiscriminate "In Popular Culture" style with no sense of perspective. While some allusions should be mentioned at the subject's article (e.g. "Who the Hell Is Edgar?" should talk about Poe), few are important derivative works or substantially enduring, so should not be mentioned at an article about Poe. Anything comparably well-known to the original work could be reintroduced at Edgar Allan Poe in popular culture or the articles on Poe's original works. — Bilorv (talk) 16:34, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There's been a tremendous amount of socks and manipulation involved in this article, which included links to fake articles and PR. Farther back in the history, I can see an account alleging to be the original owner claiming the startup went defunct and the domain was taken over by a less-than-desirable entity. Looking at archive.org, it does appear the domain expired in 2017 and was picked up by a crypto/forex blog in 2020. IP and metatag history sites show a similar story. Their current TOS notes Wyoming laws apply, which is a red flag: Wyoming/Sheridan is infamous for the registration of cheap and anonymous shell companies.

It appears that Color Changin' Click was an unofficial nickname for the duo that was soon forgotten by history. Both guys' articles have basic coverage of their work in duo form, and that is sufficient.

Delete, not seeing the notability here; this article (in terms of its sourcing) is essentially a compilation of reports of non-notable individual games glued together here on Wikipedia in a way not done by any outside sourcing. A few sources briefly describe the previous matchup or the then-current season for one or both of the teams, but I am still unable to find sufficient and meaningful overview-level contextual coverage of the rivalry as a whole cohesive topic. The only such coverage I see is a single sentence in this source which says: In the Battle of Highway 55, Campbellsville leads the series, 4-3, but after winning the first three games of series, the Tigers have won just one of the last four meetings.

Delete, per prior AfD. Appearing in news articles is not enough for GNG.

Keep. Meets WP:NFILM/GNG with a review in Common Sense Media [34] and a retrospective review in Polgyon [35] —siro χ o 02:40, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NFILM sources mentioned by Siroxo by way of the nomination. This is a full article about a film featuring the now iconic character (and mermaids). Randy Kryn (talk) 03:42, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Either Redirect as suggested by Left guide above, or~~ Keep, as some sources have been presented by QuietCicada and Siroxo, to which one can add, in Fr., a rapid assessment here. Opposed to deletion anyway. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 08:44, 19 December 2023 (UTC) (Edited 12/24 after checking the source presented by Atlantic306, below.)[reply]
Keep: Subject meets WP:NFILM and the WP:GNG from the sources the nom and siroxo have found. User:Let'srun 15:50, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I can never understand noms for sequel movies when the first doesn't get nominated at all; here, its notability is self-evident as a sequel film for a notable property. Nate • (chatter) 02:50, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As mentioned above, meets notability guidelines.

Keep in view of the reliable sources coverage identified in this discussion, also found this review in a Dutch film magazine here so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:40, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above, various reviews have it meet WP:NFILM Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 15:37, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Barbie in A Mermaid Tale. Only two sources have been found so far, plus two unreliable blogs. This does not pass WP:GNG. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:50, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t know what the above comment refers to as ’unreliable blogs’ but neither the French Quels films pour les Enfants nor the Dutch Cinemagazine are blogs, and I would consider them rather reliable.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 17:51, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
