  • Comment. On the Billboard article, I strongly disagree-- it is not a passing mention. I think the title of the article that Billboard chose ("Annie Lennox On Her 'Beautiful' Stage Debut With Daughter In 'Nostalgia' Concert Special") speaks pretty clearly for itself. Also, may I respectfully remind you and everyone that finding the content of a valid source personally boring is not a valid reason to discredit it as "weak" (and saying "woopdy doo"). Please refer to Wikipedia's Articles to Avoid in Deletion Discussions, specifically WP:IDL. Thanks x Soulman1125 (talk) 08:56, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes the headline does speak for itself. Only one person is named and it's not Lola. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:52, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • So the fact that the entire headline is about how she did a major performance with her daughter, Lola Lennox, is discounted because the title says "daughter" instead of her name? Even though the story itself references "Lola Lennox" multiple times and there are two paragraphs in the story directly devoted to describing our subject in the piece? This is not a passing mention. I see what you are trying to project, and where you are coming from, but I'm not buying the argument. This story counts as coverage of her in a major music newssource. It was the entire point of the article-- thus, the title. Cheers x — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soulman1125 (talkcontribs) 01:27, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Funny how you can get so much from the headline that is simply not there. And once again you are lying about the content. Do you realize that people can actually read the article for themselves?

duffbeerforme (talk) 11:16, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I know people can actually read the article for themselves. I hope they do, I don't think all would agree with your reading of it-- as evidenced by how many users have examined my thoughts and the article itself and voted keep. Saying "once again you are lying about the content" is a personal attack, one of many in these discussions despite my repeated attempts to ask for civility from you, and I find them very disheartening. Please keep in mind that the comments from each of us are both recorded and this is the final time I will civilly ask you to refrain from personal attack before seeking further action to resolve this behaviour.

Relisting comment: Relisting per Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2018 September 28. I know this is a third relist. If another admin wants to reclose this without waiting the full week, that's OK with me. Or we can just let it go until next week and hope a better consensus emerges.

  • OK this is better than trivial, almost there. Can you link and quote the “Teen Vogue” comment, I’m not finding it. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:47, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks, SmokeyJoe. Sure thing regarding Teen Vogue-- give me a few minutes to write you back as the text in the screen capture is likely hard for you to read (the scans of the pages are tiny!)-- but it is there, is readable, and does exist in print. Thanks for your patience. Much love x Soulman1125 (talk) 06:01, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @SmokeyJoe: Sorry for the delay. Here are the screen caps from Evonne Gambrell's piece in Teen Vogue: First page http://coolspotters.com/files/photos/208218/tali-lennox-and-lola-lennox-gallery.jpg?1357499987. Second and third page: http://coolspotters.com/files/photos/208223/annie-lennox-and-tali-lennox-gallery.jpg?1357499985. Fourth and fifth page: http://coolspotters.com/files/photos/208228/annie-lennox-and-tali-lennox-gallery.jpg?1357499984. Here are a few things we can gather from Evonne's words in the profile: 1) She is the daughter of Annie Lennox (Quote, page 2: "Annie Lennox rocked the eighties with her gender bending style-- but her daughters Tali and Lola are finding a rhythm of their own." 2) Lola and her sister Tali are from London: ("Quote, page 3: "declares the Londoner.") 3) Lola is a classical singer (Quote, page 5: "Despite such feuds, the classical singing musician defiantly beats to the march of her own drum.") In addition, there is also a lot describing her fashion sense (It is Teen Vogue, ha)-- which doesn't necessarily need to be written in her Wikipedia article, obviously-- but many of the passages are indeed secondary and in Gambrell's own words and analysis. It is five pages in a printed, independent, secondary, and reliable source that we can definitely use parts of to piece together our article appropriately, and, I believe, lends our subject towards WP:GNG when we look specifically at the official guidelines and definitions closely. Thanks for taking the time to respond and examine and, again, I hope you find them helpful in your analysis. Much love and cheers x Soulman1125 (talk) 08:42, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @SmokeyJoe: Also, as this conversation is getting a bit splintered and hard to keep track of-- please see my additional Vogue Italia reference at the bottom of the discussion in addition to this. Thanks again and Cheers! x Soulman1125 (talk) 10:18, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @SmokeyJoe: Just making sure I'm not missing something, but there's only one sentence in that article that talks about her specifically - did I miss something, or how is that significant coverage? SportingFlyer talk 08:29, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • User:SportingFlyer, I would call that sentence “more than trivial”, but “less than significant”. I have never seen agreement on the threshold of significant coverage, but I think that “two sentences” is an extreme lower limit to even consider. I wish to concede that as far as one sentence goes, that is a pretty good sentence. Not enough for a stand-alone article, I recommend using it to expand for coverage in her mother’s article. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:32, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @SmokeyJoe: But SmokeyJoe, this British Vogue combined with the other two sources I provided at the bottom should pass WP:GNG alone, don't you think? And if it does-- she should have her own page per guidelines. The Italian Vogue article has enough secondary information in it alone to create an entire profile of who she is and why she is significant. Why would we throw all of that information in an already lengthy Annie Lennox page and convolute it when when our subject passes WP:GNG for a smaller but more organized solo article? I respectfully ask you to please consider my reasoning down the page re: Italian Vogue and look at how this source perfectly fits guidelines-- we have enough secondary information to make an article for our subject, and there is significant coverage in multiple sources per the definitions (it may be contentious, but as far as what the guidelines explicitly read, they do pass-- although British Vogue may be on the very barely pass end, it's still a pass)... What official definition exists that would tell us to delete this page to the contrary? Please review The Italian Vogue sourcing: https://www.vogue.it/en/vogue-curvy/glam-and-curvy/2010/03/lola-lennox#ad-image10625 There is a TON of information here that is very, very clearly significant secondary, independent, and reliable that I went into detail to explain further below this conversation. A previous user dismissed the whole thing as a primary source interview-- but description of it is plainly false upon further inspection. It is in fact, an entire write up on our subject-- one that included a secondary source write-up, photos from a fashion shoot, and a separate primary interview all together. I think that's a pretty perfect example of sources to base our article on. Again, I ask you to consider my arguments here before you make your final decision. Thanks very much for your perspective. I look forward to hearing your views. Maybe I have missed something, I would love to be enlightened. Much love x Soulman1125 (talk) 06:07, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @SmokeyJoe: @SportingFlyer: Also my friends, why are we debating what the word "significant" means? That is not what is to be defined here for our analysis of the articles. Wikipedia official guidelines have already defined "significant coverage" for us: Again, directly from WP:GNG, significant coverage is defined explicitly as "addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." The sourcing in British Vogue and Italian Vogue especially is more than a trivial mention (look at the official example of trivial mention: "Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton,[1] that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band." I don't believe you could argue British Vogue, Teen Vogue, and the Italian Vogue sources cover our subject as that sentence covers "Three Blind Mice"? So it is more than a trivial mention, but does not have to be the main subject of the article. That requirement is fulfilled by all three sources. They all also allow us to "address the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content." Check and check. So, each of these sources individually passes the the bar to meet the definition of "significant coverage". No where in official guidelines does it say how many words or sentences must be used to parlay the information, simply that we must be able to collect detailed information from them, which, even in the British Vogue, we most definitely can, as I previously demonstrated. The Italian Vogue article does that for an entire page, as the whole write up is plainly about her. All parts cited for our Wiki entry are from lines of information that are secondary information that is from an independent and reliable source. These help her pass multiple sources for WP:GNG. So why, per guidelines, would we not give this subject its own page? Thanks again for listening and look forward to hearing from you. Hope you find my analysis to be worthy of agreement. Much love and cheers x Soulman1125 (talk) 06:37, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • As discussed above the Italian Vogue piece is an interview, which are viewed negatively for WP:GNG purposes since it's not necessarily secondary. As noted the British Vogue piece is very brief. I'd be fine with a redirect per SmokeyJoe. SportingFlyer talk 07:02, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @SportingFlyer: With great respect, I believe the contention in your statement very much conflates the official guidelines rules per analysis of secondary and primary sources-- and leaves the idea that "the [entire] Italian Vogue piece is an interview, which are viewed negatively for WP:GNG" actually quite incorrect. This is false because this article merely contains a video interview inside of a much larger secondary piece, which should not be disregarded as primary when it is clearly not. Not all elements in the article are the video interview, and what is especially crucial is that all of the specific statements we are actually citing from the source in question for our Wikipedia article are indeed from a secondary source, they are the Vogue author Barbara Frigerio's own words and analysis. Just because an article may contain elements that are primary (any words spoken by Lola Lennox in the video interview) does not mean that every statement cited in the article is from a primary source. You are discounting the entire Italian Vogue article as primary when official guidelines explicitly tell us we should not. In official guideline WP:PSTS it very clearly and explicitly states: "A source may be considered primary for one statement but secondary for a different one, and sources can contain both primary and secondary source material for the same statement." Following this guideline allows us to examine the entire Italian Vogue piece and source our secondary information explicitly and solely from Barbara Frigerio's own words and analysis, and there is basically the entire sum of information we need about Lola Lennox's entire life and why she is notable in there to then create the skeleton of our article from secondary, independent, and reliable information. The very explicit reason we need this is because of the rule for WP:NOR and because we have Barbara Frigerio to interpret the primary information for us and explain it in her own secondary words and analysis-- we do not have to do any original research to create our article, as she has done it for us, and the source is both independent and reliable. She even explicitly states her own analysis that Lola Lennox is a "young fashion icon" and is "well-known for her talent in fashion." She also explains "why she is famous" and that she "sets trends because she is naturally cool". Those are clear examples of the author's own analysis above and beyond all of the crucial information she also provides us in secondary sourcing about Lola's basic information and life that we need for our Wikipedia entry. I think upon further inspection, and after reviewing the specific points from the guidelines I have laid out for you here, I believe you should agree with them and my arguments clearly laid forth here in good faith. This is clearly enough to build our article from independent, secondary, and reliable sourcing-- and is perhaps the biggest piece that helps our subject pass WP:GNG. Hope you have an excellent day.

  • @SportingFlyer: Hi SportingFlyer, I don't want to speak for SmokeyJoe but I posted my reply to your concern below, and he posted his response after that. I feel he may have concurred with my comments to you regarding the article? I don't want to speak for him so I will let him do that, but please see my comments directly to you below regarding this-- it may clear things up for your concern. Thanks and cheers! x Soulman1125 (talk) 08:41, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's only one sentence - hardly significant coverage. SportingFlyer talk 02:34, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's more than one sentence-- and there is a lot of information packed into those lines that can be extracted for the article. As I already noted-- where in the official guidelines can you prove that this does not count? Again, significant coverage is defined in official guidelines as "more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. That's the direct quote from WP:GNG, not a community unvetted opinion essay that too often float in these discussions as the real definitions. It's definitely not a trivial mention, it is more than that-- it may not be the main topic of the article, but it does not need to be. Significant coverage is defined as the area in between both of those gauges quite explicitly. Thanks Soulman1125 (talk) 03:33, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Vogue.co.uk article literally has only one sentence directly covering her in a list of about a dozen people talking about "up and coming stars" seven years ago. It's plainly trivial coverage not suitable for WP:GNG. SportingFlyer talk 03:49, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi SportingFlyer-- I hear your concern, and as you may personally think the article loses merit for notability because of its age-- but under official guidelines, it very explicitly does not: WP:NOTTEMPORARY. That section states that notability of the subject does not diminish because of when it received notable coverage-- so I believe that argument is moot in standing with the official guidelines, which is what our decisions must be based on. Also there is not one sentence-- there are two-- one in the opening paragraph that describes "Lola Lennox" as A) "a musical talent" and B) that Vogue believes she is "one to watch in 2011". The image and caption describing her also tells us C) Her age D) that she is a musician E) her mother is Annie Lennox F) her genre is "electro pop fusing classical sounds" G) She is a model H) She has modelled for Topshop and Prada. That is way too much direct information about the subject to be considered a trivial mention, despite, very admittedly, its brevity. Again, the specific definition from official guidelines WP:GNG states very explicitly that "'significant coverage' addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." This reference addresses the topic directly and detail, so much so that we can find out eight very different and specific pieces of information about the subject so that we can build the article with the provided secondary evidence. This allows us to not need original research to write the article, as British Vogue, combined with Teen Vogue and the other sources, has done the work for us, to then collect and create the whole article. British Vogue is also reliable, independent, and a secondary source and I don't think anyone would dispute that. Again, I believe this reference allows us to write the article from correct secondary sources, and definitely applies to WP:GNG when we look very specifically at the official guidelines as they are defined. Appreciate your discussion and hope you find my thoughts worthy of your consideration. Cheers. Soulman1125 (talk) 05:33, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
User:Deb, that is a "Wikipedia is full of bad, gossipy content, so lets have more" argument. Why in the world would you argue that way? I will note that the creator of this page has a glaring WP:APPARENTCOI as is obvious from the amount of unsourced, badly sourced, promotional content and detail they have dumped into WP, which they have adamantly denied. I also do not understand why you are supporting that behavior. Jytdog (talk) 15:36, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I judge each case on its own merits. Deb (talk) 17:03, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, other stuff exists is not a viable argument in most situations. StrikerforceTalk 17:04, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the argument I used - what I was pointing out that the fact several people think an article doesn't demonstrate notability doesn't mean that it won't get through a deletion debate. I would add that I think this is a similar case to Robin-John Gibb. Deb (talk) 18:58, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
but I've seen far worse things accepted into the encyclopedia would seem to be synonymous with "other stuff like this exists, so it must be okay"? StrikerforceTalk 19:43, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You're entitled to take a different view, but not to harass people who disagree with you. I won't be changing my vote. Deb (talk) 19:44, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't recall asking you to do any such thing? I'm also not harassing you. I've simply pointed out the flaw in your rationale, which is certainly not anything that would rise to the level of "harassment". To be honest, I'm actually engaging you to attempt to understand your argument, not change it. StrikerforceTalk 20:14, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
