Delete. Nothing to indicate that WP:SIGCOV or WP:BAND are met. In terms of SIGCOV, a search in "main stream" national news outlets in Ireland (the Irish Times, Irish Independent, Irish Examiner, etc) returns nothing at all. Zero news results. Not even trivial passing mentions. Entertainment and music outlets (like Hotpress Magazine and RTÉ Entertainment) return the same trivial passing "gig announcement notices" we see in the article itself. Like this and this. The definition of trivial/passing mentions. That we are reliant on scant coverage (in blogs and myspace pages), to establish even the basic facts, is somewhat telling. The ONLY coverage in the article, of which the subject is the main topic, is this write up in Analogue Magazine. But one piece of coverage (in a short-lived freesheet magazine left in colleges, coffee shops and entertainment venues) does not amount to SIGCOV. In terms of NBAND, the subject doesn't appear to have released albums on a major label, charted anything/anywhere or received notable awards. Was likely WP:TOOSOON when created (and, in honesty, kinda surprised it survived this long). NOTE: If the article on the musician's other performing name (the subject of a parallel discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/No Monster Club) is retained, there might just about be a case for this title being a redirect.

Tufts Magazine[edit]

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

An alumni magazine for a mid-sized university, whose magazines we don't generally find notable. Although it has gotten some awards from Council for Advancement and Support of Education, it doesn't pass GNG. Looking at the current version, the first source is primary, the second is not independent, the third is questionably reliable as it's a blog, and the last is non-significant as it's just a database entry. A WP:BEFORE search turns up nothing except coverage of a controversy at an unrelated publication. ((u|Sdkb)) ^talk 23:03, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is an alumni magazine; it publishes articles about people and activities at the university, with class notes and obituaries, just like pretty much every other alumni magazine in the U.S. There is not that much to say about most alumni magazines; they tend not to get a lot of outside attention that makes it worth having articles about them. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:57, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The sources show that the magazine is notable. The first just confirms that the university publishes the magazine. The others, which discuss the subject in some depth, are the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, Johns Hopkins University and the Encyclopedia of Associations (if an encyclopedia thinks a subject worth covering, that makes it encyclopediac). We could also add news items like Tufts magazine under fire after racial joke runs awry. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Washington State Magazine and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wayne State Magazine. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:44, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your link for a new item is the same one I mentioned in my nomination — it is for an unrelated publication. ((u|Sdkb)) ^talk 21:34, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure how discussing the subject in some depth comes into play here. The link to Council for Advancement and Support of Education is a broken link, and I can't find the specific award being mentioned on CASE's website. The link to Johns Hopkins University is to a three-paragraph-long blog post (from a now-defunct blog, hosted on JHU's website, about university magazines). Tufts Magazine is not an association; I'm assuming (without being able to see the full page from the Encyclopedia of Associations) that it happened to get mentioned in the entry for the Tufts University Alumni Association. As Sdkb mentioned, the "racial joke runs awry" link is about an unrelated student publication at Tufts and does not even mention this alumni magazine. The two AfDs cited are ongoing and nobody has recommended "keep" in either of them yet, so they certainly aren't a precedent in favor of keeping this article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:41, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd guess that the broken link to the CASE awards is roughly akin to this more recent one, which includes only one small paragraph not from the magazine itself. As @NatGertler observed at the Washington State Magazine AfD, CASE gives out about 300 awards every year, so they are not all that distinguishing, and more generally we do not tend to consider awards organizations conducting their operations to be secondary sources.

Regarding the Encyclopedia of Associations, I characterized it as just a database entry because, on searching for the magazine's name within the work, all that showed up was the bottom of an entry about the Tufts alumni association that states Publications: Tufts Magazine, quarterly. Price: free. Circulation: 80,000. Advertising: not accepted. Alternate Formats: online. That's not SIGCOV by any stretch. ((u|Sdkb)) ^talk 20:10, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect – Restore redirect, no notability outside of one event, investigative details are part of crash article.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:53, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After reviewing changes to the article and arguements listed here, my suggestion remains to redirect. Scanning through quite a few entries within Category:Victims of aviation accidents or incidents in the United States and into subsequent articles specific to the crash, none of the pilots had an article. I just do not see how Peterson meets GNG outside of the one–event exclusion.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 00:06, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When referencing WP:OTHER stuff, we should at least compare apples to apples. Edward Smith (sea captain), Jacob Veldhuyzen van Zanten and Ernest M. McSorley are examples of deceased navigators who are only notable for the transportation disaster they presided over. These disasters all entered the popular culture in some way, similar to the Day the Music Died (the first example produced books and movies, the third produced a song; the second was the deadliest plane crash in history). StonyBrook _babble 13:25, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as a WP:ATD. Subject does not have the notability for a standalone article. Let'srun (talk) 15:12, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Contrary to nom, I don't see this as being a "classic case of WP:ONE EVENT". That distinction I would reserve for something like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suleman Dawood, where the teenaged Dawood was simply along for the ride on the Titan as one of the five passengers, and too young to have accomplished anything notable. Not so here, where the subject, although himself an inherently low-profile individual, was nonetheless made high-profile by dint of the fact that the entire disaster—with the subsequent fallout in the music industry (the crash was comparable to an earthquake that hit "rock, roll" [sic] right at its gestation point)—would not have occurred at all if not for Peterson's central role as the pilot who flew the plane with the three rockers into the ground moments after take off. The same could hardly be said about Dawood. WP:BIO1E states:
In considering whether to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and of the individual's role within it should both be considered ... If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. (my emphasis)
Information about the pilot's personal background, training, certification, and suitability to be a pilot are therefore understandably very important for the readers in order for them to be able to make sense of what happened there that day. This seems to have been the conclusion reached in the first AfD, which took place around the 50th anniversary of the crash (funny how these discussions always seem to come around anniversary time, this one on the 65th). A redirect would result in most of this background information disappearing, with no resultant benefit to the reader. Per WP:SPINOFF, a merge likewise doesn't seem to be the right solution, since the biographical detail on the pilot is simply UNDUE there, as all the extraneous information about the passengers, as well as the pilot, are kept in their own articles, along with the very useful photographs for each, which I assume would clog the parent article. As far as nom's other concern goes, multiple reliable secondary sources have now been added to the article. As for Epicgenius' point about the page being a redirect for a while, that was done by the same nom of this motion. And I'm not aware of any discussion (besides this one) that was held after the first AfD to assess any change of consensus. All I found was this, which seems to corroborate what I've written here. StonyBrook _babble 06:59, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not following this logic. The second paragraph of Roger Peterson (pilot)#Early life and career is pretty much duplicated at The Day the Music Died#Official investigation already. The first paragraph of that section seems relatively mundane and I'm not sure how it [is] understandably very important for the readers in order for them to be able to make sense of what happened there that day. Roger Peterson (pilot)#Inquiry is really more about the accident that the pilot, and that section could be merged with The Day the Music Died#Aftermath.

Only one reference (a bad one at that). Margotin and Guesdon's book only has one paragraph on the song. There could be other sources, but it doesn't show enough notability to warrant its own article. It can be merged to Tracks (Bruce Springsteen album). – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 19:27, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Tracks (Bruce Springsteen album), its parent album. This article is from the WP dark ages when it was more acceptable to create separate articles for all of a famous musician's songs, but it no longer satisfies modern notability requirements. All we have is some minor fan trivia, and the fact that Springsteen only played it live three times is telling. The cited media opinions about the lyrics in one verse are speculative at best. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:36, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Tracks (Bruce Springsteen album) per WP:NSONG, where standalone articles on even notable songs are regarded as: "appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album". I would encourage anyone finding an article on a non-notable song to simply redirect it. If the redirect is contested, that's the time to bring it to AfD for discussion.

Canadian Climate Institute[edit]

Semi-advertorialized article about an organization, not properly referenced as passing inclusion criteria for organizations. As always, organizations are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG and WP:ORGDEPTH on their sourcing. However, 21 of the 25 footnotes here are primary sources that are not support for notability (mainly but not exclusively content self-published by the organization on its own website) -- and of the just four footnotes that actually come from GNG-worthy media, three are just glancing namechecks of the organization's existence in the context of a staffer offering a short comment to a reporter on a subject other than itself.
Just one footnote here actually represents media coverage about the organization, which isn't enough coverage to get this over GNG all by itself.
It also warrants note that this was created by a new editor whose username matches a name in the staff directory on the organization's website, which violates conflict of interest rules as organizations are not allowed to create their own articles about themselves. Wikipedia is not a free PR platform on which companies and organizations are entitled to curate or control an article about themselves — it's a neutral encyclopedia, whose articles are meant to represent a summary of the organization's third-party coverage in media and books.

Terra Cotta, Ontario[edit]

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

As at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mayfield West, Ontario, the same editor again created a poorly sourced article about a submunicipal neighbourhood within the town of Caledon, again at the improper and absolutely unacceptable title "Terra Cotta, Ontario, Canada" in order to bypass the fact that the correct title already existed as a redirect to Caledon.
The fundamental issue here remains identical, however: per WP:GEOLAND, unincorporated communities within incorporated municipalities are not automatically notable enough for their own standalone articles as distinct topics from their municipality -- they get to have their own separate articles only if they can be shown to pass WP:GNG on the quality of their sourcing, and get redirected to the municipality if they can't. But again, this is based entirely on primary and unreliable sources that are not support for notability, with not a whit of GNG-worthy coverage in proper reliable sources shown at all, which is not how you make a submunicipal neighbourhood notable enough for its own article.

Keep I think this is clearly notable under GEOLAND - it's been recognised as a regional rural settlement area, it's used as a modern postmark for addresses, parliament read at least one letter from someone claiming they were from there, and there's lots of mentions of it in books. Also unlike Mayfield West it doesn't really look like a sub-municipal neighbourhood but more like a rural community a few kilometers from the Brampton built up area. SportingFlyer T·C 16:15, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- You've managed to use the biggest detractor to this being kept, "regional rural settlement", as justification to vote keep. That phrase means it's rural area, not a populated place. James.folsom (talk) 23:54, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- You remember the names of any of those books, Also how many of them are about terra cotta building material? James.folsom (talk) 23:40, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - The regional rural settlement shows legal definition. Also it's one exceptionally simple search - "Terra Cotta, Ontario" in Google Books brings up lots of at least mentions. I really do not like the insinuation that I just did a simple search for terra cotta building material, that's disrespectful. [2] [3] [4] SportingFlyer T·C 23:16, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - Sorry man, I did not mean that the way you took it. Try to remember I'm neuro-divergent. I was merely trying to commiserate on the subject of what a F'ing pain that name is. As to the books, I saw all of those, which is why I was hoping you were talking about something else, you got your photo book, a passing mention, and the third is intriguing but we need to lay our hands on the "slim volume". Though the fact that it's slim is not helping it's case. Also, I agree it's legally defined, but it's not legally defined as a populated place so no presumed notability. ALso legally defined is not necessarily legally recognized. Again, try not to take my bluntness personally it's just a problem I'm trying to sort through. I'm very logical, and not very emotional so it's hard. James.folsom (talk) 23:41, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Apology accepted, thank you! SportingFlyer T·C 15:22, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This one is maybe alittle difficult The last reference "the history of Terra cotta" is the most useful, It's premise that the village has been there since 1855. But this isn't true... If you read closely and you know something about how things worked in the 19 century, then you know that in 1855 Some guy whose last name was tucker built a mill. Any time someone does that in the 19th century it automatically becomes named (Surname, What it is) (EG; Gunters landing, lower kings bridge road, Harper's ferry.....). These things are not populated places, though they sometimes attract population and they can be very notable. According to the article it's known as Salmoville 1866. But Salmoville was just a post and doesn't prove anything, if there was town it might still have been named Tucker's mill. We already know that post office names ≠ to their location (Coburn post office anybody?). Towns really don't change names easily, so I think what really happened was that when the post office got there everyone just switched to calling it Salmoville because that's where they now got their mail. If they kept saying they lived in Tuckers mill, god knows where the mail would go. So, in 1866 I think it was a mill and a post office serving a rural area. I don't think it was town in 1891 because the post office changed names, and as I've said real towns don't change names every time some important person renames the post office. But, they started quarry operations in the early 20th century, and those pictures do look like a town, and I would expect a factory town near a quarry at that time. I'm hoping there is newspaper coverage, but it looks scant. So this is just how I interpret the references that are provided with the article.James.folsom (talk) 23:50, 5 February 2024 (UTC) Found better references, that back up of the crappy ones.

- All things passing WP:Geoland also must pass WP:GNG, and in any case it doesn't pass geoland since not one person has presented any proof it was a ever legally recognized populated place. James.folsom (talk) 23:42, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's not true, GEOLAND just requires verification. SportingFlyer T·C 23:09, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - I hear what your saying but have no idea where you got it: This is Geoland verbatim for populated place: Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low. Even abandoned places can be notable, because notability encompasses their entire history. Census tracts, abadi, and other areas not commonly recognized as a place (such as the area in an irrigation district) are not presumed to be notable. The Geographic Names Information System and the GEOnet Names Server do not satisfy the "legal recognition" requirement and are also unreliable for "populated place" designation. This is WPGNG says about presumed notable: ""Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information." The further problem is there is no proof this is a populated place and there is no significant coverage in reliable sources.James.folsom (talk) 23:55, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Over many different geographic AfDs, all GEOLAND has generally required is proof that a place is populated and legally recognized in order to create a place about it. It is one of our lowest notability standards, because the assumption is if there's a dot on the map, there's something written about it. In practice it means towns and settlements, not neighbourhoods or subdevelopments, and Terra Cotta, Ontario is very clearly a settlement on the map. The provincial government recongises it as a settlement area (which is your proof), we have something to say about it, it's clearly marked on maps, people say they're from there specifically, the Visit Caledon website says it was "settled" [5], there have been things written about different buildings in the settlement, that's more than we need.

Delete or merge if someone wants to do it This appears to have many refs, but two of them are dupes, and only 2 actually give any information. They are touristy in nature so I'm not sure they are independent enough. It's currently a rural area even according to the government. The one good article we have states that it is touristy and recreational since the period around 1940-1950 and that prior to that it was industrial. According to the newspapers it has always been rural, as there are no "tell tale" articles indicating a government. No town clerks or court announcements. Alot, want ads for farm work though. Many times when it is mentioned in the paper, it is said to be on the credit river, implying people might not know where it was. I can't find anything on the industrial period so I'm going with my interpretation from the one good ref that this is just a concentration of factories around a railroad station. The last ref even says that the place ended it's first life when that station burned, implying it wasn't really a population center. Regardless, even if it was a town, it's not got enough sources to merit coverage here.James.folsom (talk) 23:39, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a poor nomination by User:Bearcat. Ignoring the state of the article - there's no way that such a well known and old Ontario town should be nominated for deletion - as there's no doubt that GNG references can be dug out. It's easy to find an excellent article by little-known writer Pierre Berton in the Toronto Star in 1959, of which a good portion of the article is about Terra Cotta. There's an excellent history of Terra Cotta in The Georgetown Herald in 1988, however it is a paid advertisement - but could be used to improve the page. Among other entries is a Toronto Star article from 1992. There's also an extensive piece in the Globe and Mail in 1947 - though no where near as well written as done by that Berton guy. Perhaps not quite about Terra Cotta - but worthy of mention in the article, was the 1979 G&M piece about the Terra Cotta Inn. Back in 1873 there's a brief mention in The Globe of the Montreal Telegraph Company opening an office both here, and in nearby Cheltenham, Ontario, Canada. Perhaps there's a correlation with 1800s telegraph office and notable Ontario communities? There's no end of other articles as well! I wouldn't be surprised if it's been mentioned in the occasional book as well. Nfitz (talk) 04:58, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, I don't do "poor" nominations. Again, the way GEOLAND works is that communities are accepted as notable if they're shown to pass WP:GNG on the quality of their sourcing, and are not accepted as notable if the sourcing is as poor as it was here. The quality of the sourcing is always the #1 most important thing, and nothing is ever so "inherently" notable that junk sourcing becomes good enough while GNG-worthy reliable sourcing becomes optional.

Secondly, a settlement in the GTA cannot possibly be "well-known" if I, a person in my 50s who has resided in the GTA for more than half my life, have never heard of it before. But that's a moot point, because it has absolutely nothing to do with Wikipedia's inclusion criteria — which, again, hinge on quality of sourcing, not subjective arguments about how "well-known" something is or isn't.

If the sourcing present in the article had been even remotely up to even the bare minimum of what's required, I wouldn't have brought it here for discussion in the first place. But as written, the article does not cite a single acceptable, reliable or GNG-worthy source at all, and GEOLAND requires articles to be based on reliable and GNG-worthy sources, and confers no notability freebies on articles that aren't based on reliable and GNG-worthy sources. Bearcat (talk) 06:57, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Surely you must be aware, User:Bearcat, that AFD isn't done on the articles as written. Poor sourcing in an article isn't listed as a WP:DEL-REASON. And in that case one should edit a page rather than AFDing it - as noted in WP:ATD; GEOLAND neither trumps DEL-REASON nor ATD. I'm surprised that one could drive around what is now called Caledon without having spotted Terra Cotta on a road map, given that Terra Cotta has been on the official Ontario Road map for at least 60 years, and you drive right through it heading up Winston Churchill Road, north of Georgetown, and the Terra Cotta Conservation Area is very popular. You can't read an article about the recovery of the salmon in the Credit River without seeing a mention of Terra Cotta (formerly Salmonville). Though there's nothing wrong with not knowing something. And to be honest I'm not familiar with Alloa or Westfield, which appear to be more historic than current, what with urban sprawl. I'm surprised you never make mistakes in nomination - that's a reckless and dangerous approach. As for it being "well known" - well of course that's not a keep reason; but it is a reason to do a very rigorous BEFORE nominating. The nomination is especially poor given how controversial your AFD for nearby WP:Articles for deletion/Mayfield West, Ontario has been going - and that's a much less historic and notable town! Please refrain from nominating a series of similar articles for deletion until there is consensus on the first AFD. Nfitz (talk) 19:07, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chiming in, if I may. I don't view the nomination as poor, but have !voted keep. Nfitz, it may be unwise to explicitly criticise the nominator/nomination within the discussion. Nominator, Bearcat has put forward sound arguments that sources are/were not good enough to establish notability. I disagree, now that additional sources have been found but acknowledge it's open to interpretation. I take the positive view that the discussion has unearthed sources that can be used to improve the article, if kept. Rupples (talk) 20:26, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would also add that AFD, or even Prod, isn't about deletion. It's about content management. Both of these processes stimulate article improvement and speed along the demise of those that cannot be improved. It doesn't matter if mistakes are made, because none of this stuff is permanently deleted. All of it remains on "tape" somewhere, and can called back whenever. So lets just run the process and not get so emotionally involved. James.folsom (talk) 20:50, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And yet using the AFD process violates many Wikipedia policies - another one is WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM. There are other solutions, such as redirect or merge, that solve both problems; and Bearcat knows this, as if you dig deeper, you'll find they did exactly that to an earlier version of this article, over 16 years ago. I'd hardly think that once or twice a quarter-century is worthy of stronger measures. Speaking of the Tape, you'll notice that when Bearcat started this, he overwrote the edit history of the previous version of this article, rather than merging it properly. Yes, it's on tape - but deeper than it should be for the average person to improve the article. But yes - the end situation has improved through all this. We've been talking about this for years - see WP:RUBBISH and WP:Deletion is not cleanup. Nfitz (talk) 21:12, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion has done that, User:Rupples, and in a way it has improved the project. However, I don't think tossing out ATD, BEFORE, and DEL-REASON does violate Wikipedia policy. Should we change the policy? That's something we could debate elsewhere. Nfitz (talk) 21:06, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Come on guys lets not take these things so personal, the purpose of this is for the wikipedia community to decide through rational discussion. Some good arguments have been made, but it seems that you both are too close to the subject. This subject doesn't meet WP:GNG, but some think that WP:GNG is too narrow. WP:GEOLAND should be the way to deal with it, but editors willfully misinterpret that to do whatever they want.

Some (most?) are arguing that it does meet GNG. I don't think there's a clear Delete "vote" left other than the original nomination (which should have waited until the less controversial West Mayfield was resolved). Nfitz (talk) 21:16, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This meaning is consistent with our article, with the associated Category:Paper-and-pencil games, and with the numerous books devoted to listing such games (e.g. [7], [8], [9]). To be sure, most of what turns up is of poor quality, but some things are clearly usable: there's this short article in the NY Times, this blog post by a subject-matter expert (and author of this book), this piece at howstuffworks. Do I think any of these sources is of top-notch quality? No. ~~(And that's why my vote is weak.)~~ But do I think they meet the bar to demonstrate that this is a real thing, about which there exists a substantial body of commentary of sufficient quality to support an encyclopedia article? Yes. --JBL (talk) 19:24, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The subject of entire books, such as Koch's Pencil & Paper Games (Sterling, 1992), Angiolo's Super Sharp Pencil & Paper Games (Sterling, 1995), and Orlin's Math Games with Bad Drawings: 75 1/4 Simple, Challenging, Go-Anywhere Games—And Why They Matter (Black Dog 2022), and published articles, such as Harries "Tic-tac-toe, here we go!" (Early Years Educator 2017, doi:10.12968/eyed.2017.18.11.v, and despite the title about paper and pencil games in general not just tic-tac-toe). The article is badly sourced but deletion nominators are expected to perform WP:BEFORE and look for sources outside the article as nominated. This fully deserves its place alongside board game and video game as a widely known and widely studied category of games. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:27, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like this is a situation like if a book had a title called "100 Video Games About Fighting Demons". Does it mean that there should be a Wikipedia article about "Demon-fighting game"? Probably not. It's conflating a title with evidence of an actual genre.

All I've seen here is a large amount of unreliable sources and one really short NY Times article, as well as books that share the same title but don't necessarily discuss it as an actual genre. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:11, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If that's all you've seen, all I can conclude is that you are deliberately not seeing. But here, have another source to somehow discount as not discussing it in exactly the way you think it should be discussed: Elsom & Trilling, Social Games and Group Dances, Lippincott 1919, Chapter IV: "Games with pencil and paper".

Delete - As with so many Kotbot articles, the location data in the article is wrong - it points to an empty field near a non-descript farm in Prohalino (though the location of Prohalino on GMaps is probably also wrong since it is in the middle of a dense forest - but GMaps likely got that data from a Kotbot article so...). The location-type is also wrong: this is not a village but a sub-division of a village. OSM is a wiki-like source and thus not a reliable one.

Contrary to what some think, WP:GEOLAND does not give automatic notability to populated places. Firstly, the place must be a "legally recognised" "populated place" (i.e., have received some form of actual legal recognition as a populated place, meaning a status such as being incorporated). Simply being listed in government documents as a locality does not do this. Secondly, GEOLAND only gives a presumption of notability, one that can be rebutted by showing, e.g., that nothing can be found giving any details about the locality. In this case, it is not even clear where the location is from the data cited in the article, there is no population data on the Polish census, simply mentions of the location.

Even if you think GEOLAND is passed and that that is sufficient to give this place notability, WP:NOPAGE is very clear that we don't have to have a separate article about such a location - but in this case there is no actual accurate information in the article to merge either since it appears to be entirely incorrect. This is not surprising when you consider that these articles were created by a bot at a speed of 1000's of articles per day without any human checking at all.

Pl wiki article exists and states this is a village. @Stok, @Malarz pl... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:06, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus While TERYT and the other document listed on the Polish Wikipedia have it as an independent village, Geoportal and GUS suggest otherwise (the former clearly showing Czarnorzeczka as part of Zwierzyniec Mały). Because the two from Polish Wikipedia are directories and the two I named more descriptive, I figured this was a case for WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOPAGE (if Czarnorzeczka is removed, I will mention it on Zwierzyniec Mały). However, this is why I AfD-ed this page, rather than PROD-ing it. Ilawa-Kataka (talk) 02:13, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GUS BDL cointains census areas (gminas and above) and census places (these are not all legally recognized places). Map on https://e-mapa.net/polska/zwierzyniec-maly-0026956/ looks like "obszary ewidencyjne" (in Polish villages havn't borders). Czarnorzeczka is listed in SIMC (part of TERYT) as a standalone village. And has the same status in PRNG. Malarz pl (talk) 08:50, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Without census data showing that this is an actual populated place, where is the evidence this is actually populated? PL Wiki has a much more lax standard for notability than EN Wiki (which is why importing PL Wiki articles in to EN Wiki as Kotbot did was a massive mistake) so the existence of a PL wiki article is not sufficient to sustain this one. Also WP:NOPAGE which is very clear about what to do with an article that essentially has no real content other than a directory listing - redirect it to a higher-level article and mention the place there, and it is already mentioned in the article Gmina Dąbrowa Białostocka. FOARP (talk) 09:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. A place that is sourced only to TERYT merits a redirect and nothing else. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a gazetteer. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:55, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Polish national census counts people by "miejscowości statystyczne" (census places). Sometimes it covers one place, in most cases in covers few places (discused in pl bot request). Maybe @Msz2001: could write something more about cesus data. Anyway redirect to Zwierzyniec Mały will be wrong. Czarnorzeczka is not a part of it. Maybe is a part of "sołectwo Zwierzyniec Mały", but not village "Zwierzyniec Mały". "Sołęctwo" isn't notable on pl.wiki (so I think on en.wiki too). It's a part of Gmina Dąbrowa Białostocka. Malarz pl (talk) 08:06, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The methodology used by GUS when clustering actual municipalities into census places is unknown to me but it does not reflect administrative relations. In this particular case, Czarnorzeczka is one of two actual villages in Zwierzyniec Mały census place (the other one is village Zwierzyniec Mały) [10]. I'm aware of cases where two sołectwos were merged into one census place: one village having 2500 residents and other with under 100 inhabitants.

However, according to SIMC registry (the actual administrative registry of villages and towns in Poland), Czarnorzeczka is a base village and not an integral part of other one [11] (SIMC code: 0026962).

And regarding the ability to tell whether it's an actually populated place: There are ca. 55k base municipalities in Poland (ie. administrative entities that are not part of other village nor town). Out of those, only 26.5k (25.5k villages and 1k towns) has a population count given officially by GUS. The other half is clustered into census places so that it's impossible to tell precisely how many inhabitants live in these villages. Msz2001 (talk) 20:52, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

50k+ "village" articles for a country of fewer than 40 million people is actually pretty excessive. Particularly if the actual proposal is for half of those to not even include data of how many people live there, meaning most will literally just be "XXXX is a village in YYYY, Poland". ~25k would be closer to what you would expect proportionate to population. The USA has a population of more than 300 million but only has 73,057 census tracts. Iran has a population of nearly 90 million and has 46,000 official villages.

GEOLAND gives a presumption of notability to populated places that are legally recognised as such. It is based on the assumption that, for example, an incorporated city or chartered town, will likely have covergae in secondary sources sufficient for an article to be written about the,. Simply being included on a register does not confer any status or power on the populated place, of the kind that would make coverage in secondary sources sufficiently likely for the presumption to apply. Further, any presumption can be rebutted - it is not simply automatic regardless of any other facts. In this case, it has been rebutted by showing a lack of coverage anywhere else. FOARP (talk) 20:16, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Openstreetmap shows that it has its own local boundary, but I'm not sure if it uses census boundaries or not. If a redirect to Zwierzyniec Mały is wrong, it's likely a standalone place and I'd err on the side of keeping. SportingFlyer T·C 12:55, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Not listed as a Sołęctwo in the Gmina [12]. Leaning delete for this one, if there's no appropriate redirect, although Zwierzyniec Mały may be OK. The OSM shows Czarnorzeczka to have a separate boundary but also within Zwierzyniec Mały. Rupples (talk) 07:08, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it's currently a farm. There's a decent amount of information about the farm and mansion, though - and while it was probably added from a database at some point it looks like it may have been entered into the database because there's at least some evidence Romans had settled there, and at least one book, albeit pseudoscientific, claiming the Druids made a last stand against the Romans there (Uriel's Machine p. 413, but quoting another book with a title that is too long to type out.) So I think there's a good chance an article about the place itself could pass WP:GNG, and there's a small chance an article about the farm could pass WP:GNG, but given this is unsourced and not clearly a locality, I have no suggestion.

Delete or Fold into Penmynydd - I tend to disagree that this meets WP:GNG (or WP:NGEO) based on sources shared by Jfire (talk · contribs) or other references I could find - which are almost all incidental.

My view for each of the sources shared by Jfire:

Carr discusses the etymology of Castellior and lists three hypotheses for how this name came to be. As one page in a 300+ page book dedicated to reviewing every single place name in Anglesey, I don't see this as being a strong sign of notability. The page lists three different names used in the past for the locale, and mentions two people by name in the hypotheses for the place name, but neither appear to have published books on this topic (from a very quick search) which could help establish encyclopedic value . (I was not able as present to access Nurmio's paper, however if the core discussion is regarding etymology, I doubt the contents over these two pages can be significantly different)
Pritchard is very much a passing mention that does not establish notability, with four sentences in total covering Castellior, noting that someone said something was there, but with no proof.
Muckle is a report of archaeological excavations. Again, unless there are findings of note (which there do not appear to be) I don't see how this supports notoriety for an individual article.
The 'Castellior Project' is one of many that the Welsh Government supports. Many of these are named after the farm or locale where they are implemented (Pentre Farm, Cilwrgi Farm, Lower Eyton Farm, Fro Farm, Ffrith Farm... all of these were on the first two pages of listings on the 'Farming Connect' program which includes the 'Castellior Project'). Again, I don't see how this establishes WP:GNG or WP:NGEO level of notability for a self-standing article.

I feel these sources would be better used to add in the Penmynydd article a section regarding possible fortifications near Penmynydd. This section can include sourced discussion on the etymology of Castellior, the lack of findings from archaeological surveys in the area, as well as the potential link to Bryn Eryr.

This article has existed as an unreferenced stub since its creation in 2012. As part of the unreferenced article backlog drive, I attempted to find some sources to add to this article. But unfortunately, I came up very short. I managed to find a database entry of Vila's grave plot,[15] an obituary to Vila that I can't access, as it's locked behind a paywall,[16] and a brief mention in a journal article.[17] But that's it.

Redirect to Anarchism in Sweden and add Anarki till vardags in Further reading. I haven't found much secondary source coverage on the subject, but he is often cited for this book which should be listed in that article. I searched WorldCat, LoC, https://libris.kb.se, Internet Archive, and came up dry. Didn't find anything significant beyond citations for "Anarki till vardags" or the co-author "Thomas Hallon Hallbert." No hits in SvD or other major Swedish newspapers. I'm sure there can be more in Swedish-language periodical archives, so open to those findings. czar 01:36, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per czar. I've always held off on AfDing this article myself since I went through basically Julle's thought process - a WP:NAUTHOR pass in Swedish-language sources seemed plausible enough.

The result was delete‎. The discussion about the quality of the journal is beside the point because that is not relevant to the inclusion of the article. The issue here is notability, and in this regard, rough consensus agrees that there are insufficient sources to establish WP:GNG. The two "keep" opinions include the arguments "I don't know how the article can be properly sourced" and "We need to stop with the idea that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia", which indicates that their "keep" recommendations are not in line with applicable policies.

European Journal for Philosophy of Religion[edit]

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

This does not pass WP:GNG, the relevant notability guideline. The only source is a link to the journal's own web site, which doesn't say much and should no longer be considered reliable. The article states that it has been sold to a Chinese company, turned into a predatory journal, and will be replaced by a new legitimate journal with a similar name, but no sources are given for any of this, nor could I find any elsewhere. We cannot include this material without a source nor should we cut this back to a stub that includes only what can be sourced but fails to warn readers about the current state of the journal. Therefore, deletion seems like the appropriate outcome.

My prod saying all this was removed by User:Randykitty with a rationale implicitly referring to essay WP:NJournals: "indexed by Arts and Humanities Citation Index, Scopus, and ATLA Religion Database among others, deserves more dscussion". So here is the more discussion. My position: if it were a run-of-the-mill legitimate journal, as it seems to have been in the past, that might be a valid argument, but now that its recent legitimacy has been called into serious question, we can no longer rely on mere indexing as sourcing; we need in-depth sourcing of its fallen state, and I was unable to find such sourcing.

See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Journal of Commercial Biotechnology (2nd nomination), which appears to have some of the same cast of (possibly fictional) characters on its new editorial board and some of the same issues of being formerly legitimate but now potentially predatory. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:57, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

delete I'm not finding any sources that meet the GNG. Issues with the board are very concerning but not, per se, a reason to delete. Hobit (talk) 09:05, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is definitely something odd going on, although I cannot find sources that could be used to support an article. If you look at the archives' tables of contents for the journal, up until 4th Q 2022 the names and the themes read as decidedly European. Abruptly with the first issue of 2023 there is a change to mainly Chinese names and themes, with a few outliers that are probably middle-eastern. It is not unheard of for journals to move from one institution to another, although this one seems to be attempting to hide the fact. This is a change that would be good to note, but given that it doesn't seem to be documented (e.g. in the journal's own "about" page) I don't know how the article can be properly sourced, and if it cannot be then I !vote ~~delete~~ Weak keep but keep an eye on it as this change is very recent.

Delete. No longer a legitimate journal and seems to have become predatory. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 09:33, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- This is tricky because it means that we lose the information about the original, "legitimate", journal. In theory, if a journal makes a major change it should change its name and get a new ISSN. If we can find any reliable source talking about this change, we can keep the article and note that the journal became something else in 2024. Eliminating the entire journal, the good with the bad, doesn't seem "encyclopedic". I'll keep looking for discussion, etc. Also, if it is dropped by the indexing services (which may take a while) then that would be something to add to the article. Lamona (talk) 15:44, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - While I do agree with most of that, my largest concern is that we aren't meeting WP:N. Or at least I'm unaware of any non-trivial coverage by reliable independent sources. Hobit (talk) 19:37, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It is important for WP to keep a scorecard on journals with as good information as possible — because people will be using journals at WP to source articles. If you want to call this an IAR argument, that's fine with me. We need to stop with the idea that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and start rethinking things: this is an information database for Siri and AI. Carrite (talk) 22:28, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I sort of get the argument, but we really don't have any meaningful information since we lack any real sources. AI is going to find what we have--what I think Wikipedia brings to AI is some idea of what's important about a given topic. The problem is that we don't know either because we lack meaningful sources. And, frankly, it's pretty reasonable to doubt some of the information we do have. And if our coverage gives people evidence that this is a real journal, when in fact we're not sure, that could result in real harm to folks (publishing in the wrong place, letting someone be conned out of $1K, etc.) Hobit (talk) 01:14, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm extremely sympathetic to the keep arguments that have been advanced here, but we have a major problem: the issue isn't that this fails WP:GNG, in which case we could say "in this particular case, we have good reasons to ignore GNG", the issue is that it also fails WP:V. Per nom, we'd have to stub this back to what we can verify, which would then be misleading, since we wouldn't have the information about its change of ownership. -- asilvering (talk) 06:01, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Suppose this were a BLP. A SPA and an anonymous IP come by and drop negative comments. What do we do? Exactly: we delete these comments until they get sourced. But this is not a BLP, but a journal, so should we now just believe whatever the SPA and IP say? Personally, I'd say not. But let's look at the accusations and the evidence. The journal is basically accused of having been bought by a Chinese company and having been converted to a predatory journal. Predatory, really? The journal's own website says that it is a subscription journal, which you can buy for the really quite low subscription price of 190 Euros (institutional, the personal rate is 95). Submitting an article is free, no charges. Open access is available for payment of a fee, which is industry standard. (As an aside, this would be the first hybrid OA journal that is also predatory that I have encountered). Doesn't really look like a hijacked journal either. Looking at the most recent articles published, I don't see the usual crap that you'll see in a real predatory journal, but what appear to me to be legitimate articles from legitimate authors. A bank account for payments is given, which is located in Austria, not exactly a hot spot for predatory journals either. Nowhere do I see any evidence of impropriety, nor of the journal having been sold to a Chinese publisher. On the contrary. MIAR indicates that this journal is indexed some of the most selective databases around (Arts and Humanities Citation Index, Scopus, Index Islamicus, ATLA Religion Database, and Philosopher's Index), which normally is taken as a clear pass of WP:NJournals. This would not be the first time that somebody for one reason or another is disgruntled with a journal and tries to insert negative accusations into one of our journal articles. Until we see actual evidence, however, I think we should do what we usually do, which is removing the unsourced negative info until such time that this has been confirmed (or not) by sources instead of hearsay. --Randykitty (talk) 18:12, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per Hobit. We don't have SIGCOV in IRS sources of this journal, whether of the original or the hijacked version. This makes it even clearer why we should not have an article on this journal, since if it is predatory that info will not be in the standalone, and if it's not it's then just a pure advertisement for the journal.

PS: I have edited the article. --Randykitty (talk) 19:10, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your edits present it as if it is still a legitimate journal, rather than a predatory one. This is not consistent with its current appearance and I do not think it is a benefit to the encyclopedia or its readers. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:55, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

David, please show me your evidence that this is now a predatory journal. I have given the link to its "current appearance", which is legit. What am I missing? --Randykitty (talk) 20:54, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you should read the version of the Wikipedia article you removed in your edits which, although unsourced, matches some of the particulars now visible in the journal. It is difficult to check the legitimacy of its newly published individual articles because they are subscriber-only, but they clearly have a different focus, consistent with what was said in that version. And the journal's new editorial advisory board [18] has a difficult-to-explain overlap with the editorial board discussed in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Journal of Commercial Biotechnology (2nd nomination), including Peter Marra of U. Vienna and Leonie Levin of TU Munich whose existence beyond these editorial boards cannot be verified. Additional (non-reliable) evidence for the existence of the replacement journal described in the version you removed can be found in Janusz Salamon's bio in [19]. Because of these plausible claims that this journal has very recently transformed into a predatory journal, and corroborating (but not definitive) evidence for these claims, I think it would be a mistake to take its past indexing as evidence for its present legitimacy. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:48, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- And more so, the whole point of WP:N is that we shouldn't be writing articles about things we don't have reliable, independent sources for. The fact we're debating if this is even a real journal (and in fact I have doubts it ever was...) is a problem. Not because it might not be, but because we don't have the sources to establish things one way or the other. Hobit (talk) 02:09, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Taking this as a research problem, I looked up each of the supposed "editors" (the four listed here) and none of them have any reference to this journal on their faculty web pages. That's not definitive evidence that the journal is not legit, but it is a clue. (They all appear to be known scholars in religion.) Then I looked up one of the members of the editorial board (Nopriadi Saputra) who turns out to be a business prof. Looking at the other members of the editorial board, none of them are in faculties of religion. I don't have the patience to check them all, but I did try some of the others listed on the page and not one of them explicitly works in the area of religion, and none mention this journal on their pages. An issue from 2021 on the wayback machine shows an entirely different editorial board (and notably no one seems to be from a business school). The "editor in chief" does list his position at the journal on his web site, which is an indication of prior legitimacy. So I surmise that at least BEFORE 2024 there is evidence that this was a legit journal, and that from 2024 it is less convincing. No, I still do not know what happened. Lamona (talk) 21:02, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I agree that there are some worrisome signs, but still wonder how a journal that has a really low subscription rate and does not charge authors can be hijacked or predatory. I'm also uncomfortable with WP editors deciding, based on unsourced conjecture/accusations and their own OR/SYNTH, whether a journal is legit or not. For the moment, all evidence we have (inclusion in very selective databases) is that this journal is legit. It's too bad that Cabell's currently not available on the WikiLib as that would be an authoritative source on whether or not this journal is legit. --Randykitty (talk) 22:49, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How frequently do they reassess journals, do you happen to know? All signs are that the journal was legit until quite recently. (Of course, that would also be true of any journal that still is legit; the difference is that here we have some reason to call it into question, and too little in-depth information to refute that questioning.) —David Eppstein (talk) 22:51, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, but their website should mention that, I think. Anyway, if they listed the journal as fake, that would improve our article because then we'd have an RS that this journal has turned to crap. If they'd listed this as legit, I guess we'd still disagree about that be useful or not, depending on how often they update. The same goes for the Retraction Watch Hijacked Journal Checker which for the moment doesn't list this journal. --Randykitty (talk) 23:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, there is no deadline but like, an accident investigation lasts ranging from a few months to 2 years.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says:
A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:
1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.

  The review notes: ""The Admiral's Caravan," by Charles E. Carryl, with illustrations by Reginald B. Birch (New York: The Century Co.), is a delightful book for children or for anyone, for that matter, who has not lost the love for genuine fancifulness; for the vivid, child-like imaginativeness that seems sensible enough to the wise, while the unwise see in it nothing but foolishness. Mr. Carryl's 'Dorothy' learns no scientific knowledge, points no moral, sugar-coated or otherwise, does nothing, in fact, but to go to sleep on Christmas Eve and forthwith make au excursion in dream-land that is charming in its incidents and gay in its fun, while at the same time its strangest transformation-scenes are true to the peculiar logic of dreams. Readers of 'St. Nicholas' are already familiar with Dorothy's adventures, made yet more vivid by Mr. Birch's capital illustrations. A child like child is sufficiently rare in literature to be precious: Dorothy is such a child; and Alice, with all her 'looking-glass' experience, would surely claim her as her dearest friend. The gray cover with its bright figures is in excellent keeping with the story."

  The book notes: "In The Admiral's Caravan nonsense takes precedence over action. There are instances in this story in which nonsense and wordplay seem to serve the author's whim, having little impact on the plot itself. Taken singly these passages afford the reader moments of amusement within the novel. Dorothy, for instance, comes across "a charming little cottage with vines trained about the latticed windows, and with a sign over the door, reading, The Outside Inn." As she pushes open the cottage door to investigate, she finds "there was no inside to the house, and she came out into the field again on the other side of the door." This wall was papered and curtained nicely "but there was a notice pasted up beside the door, reading—The Inn-side out as if the rest of the house had gone out for a walk, and might be expected back at any time." It is precisely because of incongruities such as these that Carryl's stories were enjoyed. The absurdity of The Admiral's Caravan gave readers a distinctive entertainment, one eclipsed only by Carryl's earlier work. Judging from responses of readers printed in St. Nicholas magazine after the novel's serialization, nineteenth-century America had rarely experienced such inventiveness from a native-born novelist.""

  The review notes: "The Admiral's Caravan. Charles E. Carryl is our American peer of the author of "Alice in Wonderland." His "Davy and the Goblin" proved it, and this new and most charming book confirms it. There are the same delightful puns and sharp sayings, the same fantastic personages and odd antics, even the same occasional whiffs of droll poetry. The admiral's caravan, together with Dorothy, go down the Ferry to Nowhere, "where the nobodies live on their nothing a day," enter the tree-top country, see the marvels of Bob Scarlet's garden and the toy-shop, and after a few adventures with the sizing tower, Humphrey, the camel, and other queer creatures and things, Dorothy and the caravan get safely home again. The child or the grown-up person that cannot enjoy this book has something wofully wrong with him. [New York: The Century Company. Pp. 140. $1.50.]"

  The review notes: "The Admiral who personally conducts The Admiral's Caravan in Mr. Lewis Carroll's new goblin story was an admiral of wood on a pedestal in front of the Blue Admiral Inn. He had for neighbors a red-whiskered Highlander, who mounted guard before an instrument shop, and a Sir Walter Rosettes, who stood holding a bunch of tobacco leaves outside Mrs. Peevy's tobacco-shop, or rather Smoker's Emporium. But the Admiral was alive, as he proved to Miss Dorothy by calling out 'Cracks in my legs!' as he caught a glimpse of them through his spy-glass. After this, it is hardly to be wondered at overmuch when the Admiral descends from his pedestal, and, with Dorothy, takes the 'Ferry for Nowhere.' The jolly cruise of the good ship 'Sideboard' through an enchanted forest; their stay at the Outside Inn, which, when you get inside, you find is inside out; and the curious botanical lore gleaned in Bob Scarlet's garden, the reader must learn of from Mr. Carroll himself. He will never regret the time so spent if he lives to be as old as the Admiral himself. ($1.50. The Century Co.)"

A little girl, Dorothy, a camel, a robin, a stork, a wooden admiral and a Highlander have a good deal to do and say during the progress of the story, and some of them make their observations in verse. Charles E. Carryl, the author, has imitated more closely the style of "Alice in Wonderland" than is commendable, but that will not be obvious to children, who will delight in the story and in Reginald Birch's spirited illustrations. The verse seems to us the best thing in the book. The song of the mouse is a piece of genuine poetry, and the lament of the camel is a bit of genuine humor.

Tho not equal to those immortal fictions, it is quite original in the conception of the "Admiral," and the wit and humor occasionally recall to the reader a strain the author has sung before. It has, however, a distinct tone and character of its own, and is very entertaining.

  The review notes: ""The Admiral's Caravan," by Charles E. Carryl, originally appeared in St. Nicholas. In reviewing "Davy and the Goblin" by the same author we spoke of Mr. Carryl's indebtedness to Lewis Carroll, and in "The Admiral's Caravan" the resemblance to the Alice books is even more marked. It is easy to recognize the source of the strange transformations and changes of size, the quips and quibbles, the preposterous poetical rhapsodies that form the stock in trade of Mr. Carryl. But whatever may be thought of its originality, the book is exceedingly funny. The characters go sailing on a paragondola, dance the quadrupedrille, discipline an insubordinate camel who has the bad taste to grumble in rhyme, and incur a series of perils from the "ungovernerubble fury" of a revengful robin, Bob Scarlet by name. Mr. Birch's pictures are as clever as usual, but in some of them little Dorothy's mouth is too much like the ace of clubs. (New York: The Century company. $1.50.)"

Non-notable chess player. The sources cited here either do not contain significant coverage (e.g., a brief mention in a New York Times article) or they are not reliable (e.g., ofchess.org).

Delete per above and WP:10YT. In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kai Cenat riot, which was kept, it involved a Level 4 mobilization, property damage, and a social media influencer getting arrested—with all the resultant drama. This one purportedly had a citywide mobilization also, so if a reliable source can be found for that (only mention I found was a police chief blurb on a TV report) I would consider redirecting to List of incidents of civil unrest in the United States. And the alien stuff is just silly. In the meantime, only one injury and four arrests does not a riot make. Note the opening sentence begins, "The Miami mall incident was a small riot ..." and the closing sentence begins, "Rolling Stone magazine wrote of the incident, 'Why this large though unimportant shitshow at a Miami mall would be misrepresented as the beginning of an alien takeover ..."

Delete This was created by a user with a few thousand edits, so I don't want to assume the worst of them and say this was paid, but it's really bad, and all of the sources are slop -- of eighteen, all except three are the company's own websites! The other three are to a paid newswire service, a passing mention on a AWS site, and whatever this is. If there's any non-slop found, ping me. jp×g 🗯️ 06:42, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This Wikipedia article is about a telecommunications company that started 24 years ago, now has more than 500 employees, and its offices are located in 12 cities spread over 8 countries. This international organization is notable enough to have its own Wikipedia article. Multiple secondary sources are listed as references to support the information in the article. The article quality will improve over time; please have patience and give this article a chance. This article should not be deleted. Any issues can be discussed in the article's talk page.

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 discuss the topic company directly and an in in-depth manner, none of the references I found meet the criteria for establishing notability.

There is substantial coverage and profiles, particularly in Evansville, Indiana, where this company was based, e.g. [22] [23] [24]+[25] The company existed for decades, and coverage will likely be fairly easy to find in Evansville and other markets where they operated (e.g. Knoxville).

Do we need another list of winners when many of these articles about races taking place there have their own list or is part of it, thus making this completely unnecessary. Many others are not necessary to the most ardent fans such as feeder series. Unnecessary WP:FANCRUFT list that is only good for the most obsessive motorsport fans, also WP:LC and WP:NOTDIRECTORY.

Delete. I agree that much of the page's content isn't notable enough and the championships listed are too diverse to belong on the same page (for example, Superbike and World Touring Championship). For other famous motor racing circuits, the list of winners can only be found on the event's (grand prix) page. For example, on Monaco Grand Prix rather than on Circuit de Monaco, and on Italian Grand Prix rather than on Monza Circuit. Moving some of the lists for individual championships to the page of the championship itself could be considered if they are notable enough. Bendegúz Ács (talk) 01:28, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
