Fails WP:NLIST, WP:NOTDIRECTORY. WP:LISTCRITERIA, "Simple listings without contextual information showing encyclopedic merit.", "Criteria for inclusion should factor in encyclopedic and topical relevance, not just verifiable existence."

Article is a giant directory of programs. Most of it is either unsourced or wikilinked to other articles that have info on the show but nothing about it being broadcast on the channel other than it was on the channel, this info is normally unsourced.

The main article already has a list of notable original programing. See TVB#Notable shows from TVB. Nothing properly sourced to merge.

There are also individual articles for the programing info for each year, plus bonus articles just for dramas, again one article per year.

I'm hoping against precedent that a group nom can clean this up, Wikipedia is not a historical programming directory for television channels.  // Timothy :: talk  23:20, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Here are two quotes from a scholarly article in 2001: "For example, when oil revenues started to fall in 1985, Libya expelled or laid off more than 100,000 foreign workers from Mali, Mauritania, and Nigeria." "For example, in November 1995, in response to Mauritania's decision to recognize Israel, Libya recalled its ambassador and announced that it was severing all economic assistance to the country and 'dispensing' with Mauritanian workers in Libya." [1] The content here clearly demonstrates extensive economic and political ties. =Executive-level state visits, high-profile payoffs, extraditing and harbouring leaders: this is the stuff of international relations, all of which are demonstrated in the previous sources you dismissed.--User:Namiba 15:32, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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

This article was created in October 2023 by CU blocked sockpuppet Nugoooo.[6] The original creation of the article dates back to 2018 by a blocked user named Georgiano, but it was deleted in 2020 due to various violations of core policies, including instances of copyright infringement, among other issues[7]-[8]

Following a hiatus of 3 years, the article now reappears on Wikipedia, under the watchful eye of another batch of WP:NOTHERE accounts and IPs. Subsequent edits to the article of significance are obvious IP socks linked to the original sockmaster, as well as new sockpuppets (such as user:Caucasian127). Strangely, the prevalence of sock and meatpuppetry did not suffice as a reason to accept the CSD 5 request.[9]

Similar to its previous iteration, the article is marred by violations of Wikipedia's policies on original research (WP:OR), as well as those on verifiability (WP:VER) and reliable sourcing (WP:RS). There is also a likelihood of copyright violations. - LouisAragon (talk) 16:08, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Converted to a redirect to a township article which does not mention this spot, I've restored it so it can be deleted properly this time. It's the same story as before: we have no information about the spot except it appeared on an old map, which isn't good enough. There is no reason to redirect to the township because the latter's article has nothing to say about the spot, which is, after all, because we don't know anything about it except the location of a name on an old map. We need to stop this lazy solution for making these redirects as they do next to nothing for the reader; we need to just admit that there's not enough information for an article and delete it.

  1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.
  2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level. Sources which were written by scholars addressed he won the Leonhard Euler Gold Medal in 1958.
  3. The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Physics). He was elected as a Fellow of Indian National Science Academy as well as Indian Academy of Sciences (1936) with well relaible sources. (See here)
  4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions: The subject was the pioneer vice chancellor of Dibrugarh University, a public university in 1966 which already qualifies notability.
  5. The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon. According to the article, He was a professor of Engineering whose life spanned through mathematics and added impact to science. The article states; Seth was a lecturer of applied mathematics who taught in IIT Kharagpur and was considered a notable impact to that field in the 20th century (see it here
  6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society. Already a Pioneer vice chancellor!
  7. The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.Already had publications on notable academic papers and books. Search Google and books to see more of his books, that's why the article bears, Selected publications. (See here)
  8. The person has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area.

I am failing to find indication that this painter meets WP:NARTIST nor WP:GNG. The coverage is not significant, and mostly what he is known for is a case of possible plagiarization of another artist's work on social media. I'm not finding a track record of notable exhibitions, reviews or permanent collections in notable museums that we would normally find. Perhaps it is TOOSOON. Netherzone (talk) 02:18, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dieschburg is pretty known in Luxembourg for his skills in oil painting, a craft that he honed since being a little child (shown in a news coverage available on Youtube). It drew attention fast and a quarrel, often in public, between him and contemporary and avant-garde artists started.
His works featured in newspapers, publications, and catalogues. The whole copyright law case only came later and went viral in social media because of misinformation, racism and sexism allegations against the painter, regarding his work Turandot. The enormous amount of hate he received led him to close his social media (as stated by RTL). It is true that most Internet searches point to the court case, however he won it.
I think the page about him contains good information and I don´t see why it should be deleted. He is young, the page will probably grow within the next years.

Aside from having been created by a WP:SPA which edits *only* in the field of Mileo's articles (and created Echo (Mileo song), Know You Better (Mileo song) and Worry (song), none of which met NSONG and which I've redirected now), there's no conferrance of notability here. Fails WP:NMUSIC - the only coverage I can find in a reliable source is the VG article about his song sparking some outrage. Rest of sources are just Facebook/WP:SELFPUB/interviews with the artist which are excluded under NMUSIC, and the closest in terms of chart notability is "Echo" which placed 202nd in Russia's charts, a far cry from notability. Any coverage he has received is because of his participation in Melodi Grand Prix 2024 (Norway's Eurovision pre-selection event), which brings WP:BLP1E into play, and even that has just been mentioning his name or song in articles about it, so doesn't meet sigcov. ser!

All articles linking to this page were also created by those accounts or are previous discussions of the issues regarding this page. The subject of the article does not meet verifiability. The creation of this article by the subject is also a violation of WP:COI. The subject is not notable; the only web results yielded by a search are local announcements of events and facebook pages, which were originally used as sources in this article. Other, more recent sources are all reviews and brief descriptions which do not meet reliability guidelines.

For the record, in the previous afd you discarded the TOI as non-reliable not as non-secondary. Also, it will probably be difficult not to repeat things that were said then since it was closed as no-consensus. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 16:47, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I believe reliability comes first. There was no need to determine if it was a primary/secondary source(during the previous AfD) when I deemed it unreliable per WP:TOI. Also, the mentioned article is not a film review but an interview. Despite being generally unreliable per WP:TOI, if you feel it needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and consider it reliable in this case, it still does not count towards GNG due to being an interview with not enough commentary/ analysis. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 17:37, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

And just one thing: The full quote of the WP:TOI you are citing goes "The Times of India is considered to have a reliability between no consensus and generally unreliable. It has a bias in favor of the Indian government and is known to accept payments from persons and entities in exchange for positive coverage." And the source is "yellow" (that is, just under reliable....). (That's very very far from being "generally unreliable" and the Indian task force clarifies why.) Best. -My, oh my!

Follow-up: the chapel is mentioned in the Buildings of England: Cheshire volume, but not substantially: Baptist Church, Higher Lane. Built in 1850. Of stone, with nice Decorated Gothic window tracery. The attached school was added in 1851 and extended a year later. The earlier part has two big gables, the latter gabled dormers and windows with cusped heads. (p.447) I suspect that won't be enough, even alongside the much more substantial piece in Stell.

Prob Delete - I think the history of this chapel is interesting, but for me that's not enough for a Wikipedia article. I say this as someone who is interested in British nonconformist chapels and who has delved into 100 year old newspaper archives to read about them. For me the issues are a) the architecture is nothing special for the era b) there are hundreds of similar chapels across the UK (for example in my Welsh village there were 8 similar chapels of different denominations of which 4 are still standing, all of which have a history documented in newspapers and mentioned in local church history books) and there's not much which is unique about this one c) there's an unwarranted importance given to small religious congregations which would not be deemed notable in other circumstances. For me, I think there's a line and a small congregation in a building that only dates back to the 1860s of a kind that is frequently seen across the country is not really notable - even if there is a newspaper trail of articles about fetes, preachers and prizegiving ceremonies.

This promotionally-toned article is on an artist who does not meet WP criteria for WP:NARTIST nor WP:GNG. All of the sources in the article are primary sources, from galleries of events she is directly connected to, press releases/announcements, or are about other people and mention her in passing. A WP:BEFORE reveals social media and more primary sources. She has collaborated with notable people, but that is not inherited through association. Perhaps it is WP:TOOSOON for this artist. Netherzone (talk) 22:04, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Netherzone,
I was the writer for this page but to be honest it is my first full page writing - I have double checked the references and I can vouch for the artist's continuing relevance in Portugal (e.g. she's presently commissioned for art on Portuguese national cultural TV channel - RTP2) and preparing an exhibition in Cascais.
I've checked that you've written very many well approved pages, so I hope to learn something from you - I will take the time to study your structuring, and change Ana Mesquita's page accordingly - the learning process to produce a good page is steep in the sense that the best-practices are sometimes unclear. I can tell you that once I noticed the page had been marked for being promotional toned I changed the text accordingly but did not see any change in status.
Thanks to you guys I'll continue on.
Thank you Port norw (talk) 23:39, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Port norw, thank you for your message. I've worked on a lot of articles on women artists and Indigenous artists over the years, so I'm familiar with the criteria for notability for visual artists. Please try to find sources that are fully independent, meaning that there is no connection to the artist whatsoever (not a gallery where she showed, or a place she worked, or a project she was involved with, or an interview or press release) - things others have written about her who are not connected to her. WP needs reliable secondary sources to establish notability And these should be in depth, significant coverage, not a name-check mention, or a few sentences...for more info see WP:SIGCOV; and should be in what WP considers reliable sources - see WP:RS for more info. Blogs, advertorials, or native advertising are not reliable. Sources that are mainly about other people (like some of the famous people that she has shown with) but only mention her briefly or not at all, don't really count, because notability is not inherited from others she associates with. If those sources exist, that could help her pass GNG. As far as passing NARTIST, see if she is in any notable museum collections, and if there are several notable museums or national galleries as that would be a pass for NARTIST. Also note that future planned events don't really count, those events must have already occurred and be covered in independent secondary sources (not the commissioning or exhibiting organization). Hope that helps clarify! My sense is it is simply WP:TOOSOON and in a few years there will be enough independent significant coverage in reliable sources for an article on this artist. Netherzone (talk) 16:27, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you for your kind answer - I will follow your suggestions and will change things accordingly. I will have time to start this later tonight, so I hope to have substantive changes soon. When so, I will reach out again.

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

Fails WP:GNG, especially in that significant coverage of the article subject is lacking, and fails WP:BIO. Created originally by a WP:SPA and significantly edited by the article subject, particularly recently, attempting to own the article. Reads like a resume and is primarily promotional of the article subject's publications. Geoff | Who, me? 22:32, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Uhm...Hugman co-founded Boxing Monthly and was the launch editor. The magazine lasted 31 years. His work is historic. I highly recommend that the delete voters read the guideline WP:Author because Hugman fits #2, #3 & #4 under Creative Professionals. He is unequivocally notable. Atsme 💬 📧 19:56, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Boxing Monthly itself has one deadlink as a source and that was a link to a subscription page. Considering that the magazine itself isn't currently meeting WP:NOTE you can't coatrack Hugman into notability by using it. In any case, notability is not inherited. #2 of WP:AUTHOR is "originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique" which doesn't apply here. I don't see how 3 or 4 quality either. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 00:52, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Atsme: Can you provide reliable sources? If he is so historic there must be sources to verify his notability. If you have sources please add them to the article. ww2censor (talk) 23:51, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
He easily satisfies WP:Author, as I've already mentioned. I neither have access to a library or old newspapers/magazines in order to do the kind of research you want done, nor do I have the time to spend on it. Rest assured, the sources exist. I already found a few sources in the limited amount of time I have to contribute here. Keep in mind that Hugman was born in 1941; therefore, editors need to consider the years he was a pioneering statistician, and author of over 60 books, annuals, etc. Those days were not like today's online social media; rather, those were the days of print media. His body of work alone screams of notability. Other authors of various magazines, reputable journals, reference works, and sports books have frequently cited him. Quick example: this Cambridge article cites his book (footnote 41). Dig into archived newspapers. See my quickie list.
  1. Black Country Evening Male, pg 69, 04-09-1982
  2. Daily Post, pg 24, 12-20-1987;
  3. Liverpool Echo, pg 70, 03-27-1993;
  4. Hull Daily Mail, pg 52, 10-29-1988;
  5. The Daily Telegraph, pg 45, 11-18-1998; "The 20,000 in a league of their own", Bryon Butler, "Talking Football"
  6. The Independent, pg 63, 11-18-1996;
  7. The Guardian, pg 72, 09-28-2000;
  8. Cambridge Evening News, pg 50, 11-02-1990

  1. The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors; or
  2. The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique;
His published works fall into concept of sports statistics, he is cited by multiple organisations for this. Btw, @GiantSnowman: I am surprised you would say there is no notability for this person when I've even seen you cite his works. Yes there is a degree of primary sourcing surrounding the article, but that shouldn't negate his importance towards sports statistics in his fields.

confused face icon Just curious...how many times has Hugman been cited in WP? Regardless, here's another source, this time it is one that is critical of Hugman's work: Playing Pasts. But wait...there's more!
  • The Independent, 12-17-1993. Specific to this BLP, WP:NEXIST also states that the evidence must show the topic has gained significant recognition. Recognition includes one's work being cited by other authors, as well as thanked, appreciated and/or recognized in their books. Internet Archive produced 90 results for Barry Hugman, and I reviewed quite a few books and forwards, as well as full paragraphs by other authors who provided recognition of Hugman's contributions. See following examples:
  • (pg 194) The Encyclopedia of Boxing (1989) by Gilbert E. Odd:] "In 1985 Barry Hugman produced his British Boxing Yearbook, an extensive volume containing records and facts covering British fighters and their contests since the turn of the century. A comprehensive and invaluable volume for all connected with the fight game in a world-wide capacity. This has become an annual volume, subsequent editions having appeared each year since."
  • (Page 19) The official Football Association non-League club directory. (1999) "It was at this stage that another friend, Barry Hugman, influenced the book’s future.

As the article notes, an armed standoff between federal and state forces in regard to the immigration crisis is unprecedented in modern American history, and could lead to serious consequences. WP:NOTNEWS isn't a ban on covering recent events, it's a ban on trivial matters and writing articles like a newspaper would. Dunutubble (talk) (Contributions) 00:38, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Disagree, this is a very notable event. The number of governors supporting Texas and the risk of escalation makes it a very unique. Historyenjoyer452 (talk) 01:32, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep: Geographic limitations as an argument seems to have gone out the window once elected officials representing 50% of the landmass of the united states publicly expressed support for explicit defiance of the supremacy clause and opposition to federal forces. Even if the current locus of the conflict is only one part of one location within Texas, that balloons the conflict out far wider. It is also immediately notable as an event largely without precedent. -- Sappow (talk) 01:39, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Of course, if nothing happens of this particular incident, deleting the page then to fold into the larger Operation Lone Star page as a subsection would make sense. But right now this seems like something that should remain separate. -- Sappow (talk) 02:03, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete. This story has been way over-sensationalized and is not nearly as big a deal as people are acting. It's just Abbot grandstanding. There's a reason the national media is giving this very little attention. Doesn't need a whole page of its own, just write a few sentences about it on Abbott's page or something.

Keep, the subject is notable for a confrontation between state and federal governments over jurisdiction. Geographical limitation is not a reason for an event not being notable. HetmanTheResearcher (talk) 03:28, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hold/Merge A lot of the arguments to keep seem to relate to a supposed defiance of a SCOTUS ruling on Shelby Park. SCOTUS has not ruled on Shelby Park. It has ruled on an emergency appeal and vacated a temporary injunction related to a pre-existing dispute, dating back to October 2023, months before Shelby Park in Eagle Pass was seized. The SCOTUS ruling only concerns the USBP and whether it can cut border wire or not (it ruled it can, pending the outcome of the actual trial). TX can't "defy" the order if it wanted to (unless defying is arguing the case before the Fifth Circuit as per normal procedure), because it does not concern them, and TX AG response to the ruling says as much. SCOTUS made no ruling on whether USBP should be let back into Shelby Park or whether Texas can keep dropping razor wire. There are a lot of political figures who should know better making grandiose claims about boldly defying the federal government, but this is par for the course grandstanding.

THANK YOU. People do not seem to understand the actual facts here. Abbott is trying to make a big show out of a little thing and people are falling for it. Kevingates4462 (talk) 03:43, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
HOLD/KEEP I think it's too soon to tell if it should be merged with operation lone star, and for now it'd be best to let it unfold and see how significant this becomes. Also, I do not think WP:TOOSOON applies, because there is already verifiable coverage of the event in independent secondary reliable sources

List of rampage killers (familicides in the United States)

List of rampage killers (familicides in the United States) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I'm nominating this as a kind of test case and to gather opinions of experienced AfD editors on this kind of page, of which there are quite a number including List of rampage killers (familicides in the Americas) and List of rampage killers. I'm going to argue that this list in particular fails the GNG because sources are not provided that specifically note the importance of this type of crime - which the page gives as family killers, but seems to exclude those killers who are killed in police gunfights (for example). I'm going to suggest that this list is therefore strongly editorialised (arguably WP:OR) with regard to what is or is not included. Fundamentally I don't think we need this list and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. JMWt (talk) 11:03, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Oppose: Familicides are a distinct category in criminology and have been so for a very long time (Paul Näcke's "Über Familienmord durch Geisteskranke" was published in 1908). The topic is socially and scientifically relevant, which is proven beyond doubt by the countless books, research papers and newspaper articles on the topic. The same is true for the rest of the "Lists of rampage killers". (Lord Gøn (talk) 16:30, 10 January 2024 (UTC))Reply[reply]
For the benefit of other contributors to this discussion, you are the originator and main editor that has worked on these lists, correct? JMWt (talk) 16:33, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have started these lists, but have not done any edits on them for 10 years now. (Lord Gøn (talk) 19:17, 11 January 2024 (UTC))Reply[reply]
Oppose. Familicides are a specific and independently discussed type of mass/spree/rampage murder (the terminology issue there is 90% of the problem, but that's the sin of academics, not us, and is a whole other issue). The scope is definitely arguable but I don't see any reason why it should be deleted, barring a question of this family of lists as a whole, which I understand but respectfully disagree with. These lists are a bit of a mess and I'd like to see the criteria be a bit less arbitrary (I have no idea where the criteria as used came from, but it's not too far off from the numbers I've usually seen definitionally in the relevant literature (~4, the quibble I mostly have is with the injury counts) so it's not that pressing), but a lot of notable lists are and that can be fixed. The "in the US" bit is of course not independently notable (well it might be, I can recall seeing several academic publications on US familicides) but it is standard practice to split articles per country based on size.
Per WP:NOTABILITY, 'Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been. Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable, although editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles.' The overarching set of "familicidal mass murderers' has been discussed extensively in academic literature, even if some of the individual cases have not;

If I may respond, the issue isn't whether the term is notable but whether the list is notable. As you have said, sources do not define the topic in the way this list is arranged, so in my view that's a big red flag. Second, surely we'd all agree that there is something unpleasant about 'ranking' named killers in this way. Third, almost by definition there needs to be WP:OR in order to find killings that meet the criteria - for one thing is the whim of involved editors to decide what to include or exclude if the inclusion criteria is not following a definition in a source. If you could, I would appreciate you addressing these points, please. Thanks. JMWt (talk) 07:47, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
1 - It defines it in a slightly different way and even then some studies do have numbers closer to what the page uses. Fixing this is not hard so I don't think this is a big issue.
2 - I don't think that's a valid point for deletion. We have lists on lots of unpleasant things. Maybe make the lists unnumbered if that bothers you. I don't know.
3 - Not so much 'whims' as it is numbers, is it? The only problem I see with the list in that sense is that it has decided to a use a definition that is uncommon. Much like 'serial killer' has a varied definition, so too does mass murder. All the pages need to do is, IMO, to find a more common definition and stick with it. It's not like the definition used in the page is far off, so it wouldn't be that much of an issue to fix.
I don't think it's original research in the way you define. I think any original research problems arise from these lists, it's a definitional issue - as before, the individual items, with lists, "Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable". Any original research issue - if you have a list title called "List of newspapers in Uganda", and each individual entry is not mentioned in an overarching source discussing journalism in Uganda, does that make adding new entries to the page original research? No. The issue is with definitions and inclusion criteria, and to fix the pages in that sense there would have to be very few changes.
IMO, to fix the list, we should just set it at 4 killed or 6 killed (with one perpetrator, which I think used to be a list rule but people kept breaking it so it was removed). Forgot which two definitions are more common but I've seen those used most often as definitions. PARAKANYAA (talk) 15:20, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks for replying. For me there's a big difference in a list of newspapers in Uganda and this one. One could collate online/offline sources on Ugandan media with straightforward and accepted criteria as to what a newspaper is. In contrast, this list is of a very specific type of crime, with a specific number of victims and which, apparently, did not lead a police shootout. That's a) entirely arbitrary and b) means that one has to go searching the media archives to find crimes that meet those criteria. Again, I appreciate the willingness to engage. JMWt (talk) 15:41, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The police shootout thing is arbitrary and I have no idea why that is there, I will fully admit. I would guess it's as some barrier to incidents which start as familicides and then become public mass murders, which there are a few of, but it's not even effective in that case it's just arbitrary and in no way meaningful or recognized, so I understand your frustration. Should the list be kept that criterion should be removed
I respectfully disagree, as 'mass murder' is a pretty well discussed if specific type of crime, and mass murder of family members is a quite well discussed subtype of that. PARAKANYAA (talk) 16:06, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
1. There is nothing in the list that mentions anything about a "police shootout". This is not a criterium for inclusion whatsoever. Please cite the relevant paragraph, so I can see what you mean.
2. In the context of an encyclopedia it is irrelevant, if something is "unpleasant". I guess List of genocides is also unpleasant.
3. There's as much OR in this list as there is e.g. in the List of films. And of course one has to find stuff that meets the criteria in order to add it, but that is true for every list about every subject.
4. You can also collate online/offline sources about familicides and rampage killings, that's how this list came into being in the first place. These topics are well defined research subjects, so you should not have a problem doing so, if you actually bother to get into the topic. The caveat is that there is a grey zone that will always exist in such matters. (btw List of genocides is struggling mightily with this.) These lists circumvent this issue by focussing on cases that definitely and without a doubt belong into either category, and the defining factors in these types of killing are the number of victims and the perpetrators.

Made-up criteria from List of rampage killers

This list of rampage killers contains, for each category, the first fifteen cases with at least one of the following features:

   Rampage killings with 6 or more dead
   Rampage killings with at least 4 people killed and at least ten victims overall (dead plus injured)
   Rampage killings with at least 2 people killed and at least 12 victims overall (dead plus injured)
   An incidence of rampage killing shall not be included in this list if it does not include at least two people killed.
   In all cases the perpetrator is not counted among those killed or injured.

The separate articles for the different categories have more extensive lists.

Criteria from Talk:List of rampage killers/FAQ, written entirely by Lord Gon
Q: What are the list's terms of inclusion?
A: As stated in the list's introduction, it shall contain all cases with at least one of the following features:
  • Rampage killings with six or more dead (excluding the perpetrator)
  • Rampage killings with at least four people killed and a double digit number of victims (dead plus injured)
  • Rampage killings with at least a dozen victims (dead plus injured)
(Note: Additional terms of inclusion may be applied in some of the sub-lists. Please see there for more information.)
Q: Aren't these terms a bit arbitrary?
A: It is true that the terms of inclusion are in a way completely arbitrary, though this would be true no matter how they would be formulated. Even in the scientific literature on the subject it is readily admitted that some degree of arbitrariness is unavoidable in this regard.
Q: What is their purpose anyway? Why not simply add all rampage attacks, no matter how high the number of casualties?
A: The purpose of the aforementioned terms is to keep systemic bias at a minimum. Would the threshold be set too low the list would be flooded with low profile cases from a very limited number of mostly western countries. Cases that adhere to the terms above have a halfway realistic chance of attaining national, or international coverage, even if they occurred in a part of the world that normally attracts limited to no interest from the media.
Q: What is the purpose of the W-column?
A: The W-column gives a basic description of the weapons used by the perpetrator. For a detailed list of the abbreviations used, see here.
(Note: Additional abbreviations and footnotes may be utilized in some of the sub-lists. Please read the respective section there for more information.)
Q: Why couldn't I find case XYZ in the list?
A: If you are unable to locate a certain case, this may have various reasons:
1. It has not been added, because it falls below the victims threshold, as defined by the terms of inclusion
2. It has not been added, because the primary motive for committing the crime was to facilitate or cover up another felony, like robbery.
3. It has not been added, even though it fits the terms of inclusion, and was not primarily committed to facilitate or cover up another felony. In this case you may add it yourself, citing reliable sources.
4. You haven't searched thoroughly enough.
