Fails WP:GNG, and I couldn't find any appropriate WP:SNG. No independent reliable sources appear to exist in English or Italian. What sources do exist consist entirely of press releases, and opinion articles written by Menotti Lerro. Sideswipe9th (talk) 23:35, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for letting me know. In my opinion this article is about an important, innovative and niche topic. I think it worth to keep it and wait for possible relevant developments. The Manifesto has been also published in magazines and monographs and there are critical articles about it in the magazine "Riscontri" and the magazine "Clandestino" (both already inserted in the this article as reliabe reference). If possible I ask you to keep it but of course I will accept your decision. Best wishes.Gingeksace (talk) 18:35, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Netherzone Could you please provide a detailed source analysis to substantiate your walled graden claim for the rest of us. Listing the sources and vaguely waving them off as a walled garden doesn't give us enough context to evaluate independence, and given the language barrier of Italian language sources it would be helpful to have it spelled out where the exact conflicts of interest lie for each source. Thanks.4meter4 (talk) 19:07, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello 4meter4! Here is my source analysis below. Please check out the link I posted above as well for the backstory on the walled garden (or if you prefer, "suite of connected articles") For context on this walled garden, see this:[2].)). BTW, I know we do not know each other, but I want to assure you I'm not a drive-by !voter at AfDs, and I do not "vaguely wave" things off. I'm a serious good-faith participant and have engaged in earnest with the article creator to try to clean things up in this "suite of articles". Best regards,

Netherzone (talk) 21:38, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Netherzone, I do not understand why do you mix old things and discussions with my articles...
(Does this author earned a "stigma" forever because of past situations not related with my articles? That you are more times suggesting to check happened 6/7 years ago and I see those articles were already deleted... (Maybe, indeed, it is not the case to get now that to prove it is all one situation...).
By the way, in the last years the author grow a lot (monographs have been published about him and magazines guest articles about him too) and maybe now we should consider just article by article without mixing everything. I am sure you are in good faith but please consider I am in good faith too. I create articles thinking there were enough requirements (I am not so expert as you to understand it...); Maybe I was wrong and I will accept it, but I just ask you do not talk of "promotional", "payments", "walled-garden" (I even do not know what a walled garden is...). I just create articles thinking there were requirements, thats all. Please just help when possible to save the article, to improve it, or ask for deletion if it is not possible to save it... It is not a problem, but please do not look too far in my simple and honest collaboration to WP.
Thanks a lot. All the best! Gingeksace (talk) 22:30, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Gingeksace if there are reliable sources that are secondary to Lerro and/or Pelliccia, could you please provide them? Prior to nominating this article, I attempted to search for sources about this manifesto, and all I could find in English and Italian were either press releases or opinion articles by Lerro. Those sources do not meet the criteria of our general notability guideline because they are not independent from Lerro and/or Pelliccia. Monographs could be extremely helpful for this, if they were published in a reputable research journal and subject to peer review as part of that process. The magazine guest articles might be helpful, if they were written by subject-matter experts and again are independent from Lerro and/or Pelliccia.
However as things stand right now, I cannot find any such sources. Sideswipe9th (talk) 02:09, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sideswipe9th ok Thanks. It's fine.
Anyway, I thought for example they were good example of reliable sources, aren't they?:
They seems to be experts and indipendent from Lerro...
Regards. Gingeksace (talk) 09:24, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Gingeksace we have had numerous conversations about your COI, and the walled-garden of articles on your talk page, on my talk page and on various article talk pages. You had also agreed that it was best to fold (redirect, selectively merge) several of the articles into the Menotti Lerro article, as seen here:[3]. There are many other examples but I'd rather not post a huge wall-of-text. I'm surprised you have changed your mind about that plan. I've been patiently working with you in good faith and I've spent a lot of time cleaning up some of the promotional wording. I have never disputed Lerro's notability, although it is curious he does not have an article on Italian Wikipedia. IMO, all the articles you have created about Lerro's various projects except perhaps Empathism should be folded into the Menotti Lerro article. Perhaps this metaphor will resonate with you: think of Menotti Lerro as a planet, and the other articles are like moons or satellites orbiting around the planet. It is not necessary to have an article on each of those satellites. Does that make sense? Netherzone (talk) 15:31, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Netherzone, I have not changed my mind. Just trying to understand better the mechanisms... I have only said I am not making any "promotion" and I had not really idea about what a walled garden was... And I have tried to show what in my opinion could be considered reliable (I repeat, just to learn if I am right or not, not to force it...). By the way I have been invited to discuss it therefore I thouth It was good to do it...
As I always said, I accept your decisions: I know you are more expert than me so I trust your judgment (but I like to learn...).
Regards. Gingeksace (talk) 15:55, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Gingekscace, Regarding the sources you have kindly list above, unfortunately none of them are independent coverage. The authors of these citations are all affiliated with Lerro and have all are signed "Empathic Masters" who have joined Lerro's Empathism movement spelled out in Lerro's Manifesto[4].
1) Written by Franco Mussida, a member of the Empathism movement founded by Lerro and a signed member of the Manifesto by Lerro. - Not independent.
2) Blog post - user generated content, written by Ottavio Rossani who is a signed member of the Manifesto as well as a member of Empathism, both of which are Lerro projects. - Not independent.
3) Written by Mauro Afro Borella, a signed member of the Manifesto and Empathism - Not independent.
4.) Blog post Carlo Di Legge's Blog - he's also a signed member of the Manifesto and Empathism. - Not independent.
5.) This was written by Francesco D'Episcopo, who is a signed member of Empathism. - Not Independent.
6.) written by Diana Nese, a signed member of the Manifesto and Empathism. - Not independent. Netherzone (talk) 15:57, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks! It is nice for me to understand it for example...
All the best Gingeksace (talk) 15:59, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
