Dear reader/writer of this WikiProject Deletion sorting/Europe. The present page was above the template_include_limit. As a result, the bottom of the page was not displayed correctly. At Category:Pages where post-expand include size is exceeded, we tried to fix the problem, in order to empty this category (see the related talk page). The original page can be seen in the page history (although it will not display correctly). In any case, feel free to revert if you have a better solution to fix the page overflow problem.
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Europe. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
Edit this page and add ((Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName)) to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding ((subst:delsort|Europe|~~~~)) to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Europe.

I don't know whether this is an article or a list, but nevertheless it is a poorly organised mess of synthesis and original research. The term "sovereign state" does not even have a meaning for most of the periods this timeline purports to cover. Nice colours, though. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:23, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Orphan article. Over 50 references, but how many of those actually constitute significant coverage in reliable sources? I'm not sure I've seen enough here to be convinced this passes WP:GNG. Uhooep (talk) 15:32, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
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.
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[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 deleteWeak 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[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.

Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if someone can write and source something better. There are potentially plausible notability claims here, but they aren't adequately supported by reliable sourcing — but notability doesn't hinge on what the article says, it hinges on how well the article can or can't reference the things it says to WP:GNG-worthy media coverage about the things it says. But given how heavily Quebec-based his career was, it's highly likely that if he has adequate reliable source coverage to pass GNG, most of it would be in French newspapers that I don't have adequate access to in order to be the fixer. But we also don't keep poorly sourced articles just because it's possible that better sourcing might exist somewhere than we've actually been able to find — we can only consider sources that are actually in evidence, so somebody who wanted to claim that he got over GNG on French-language coverage would actually have to find and show his French-language coverage, and we can't just keep the article on a presumption that he might have more in French than we've found in English. So, again, no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this, and I'm willing to reconsider this if somebody can improve the article before this discussion even closes, but this as currently written and sourced isn't good enough.

Comment the de.wiki article isn’t well-founded at all. It has essentially the same refs as the en.wiki article - dead links to various things that don’t look like RIS, online databases of match reports that just list players and results with a name check for the referee. The only two reasonably substantive sources on de.wiki are (a) the same as source 12 on en.wiki (a short paragraph citing him) and (b) de.wiki source 3 which is a profile of him which is a blog post from the head ref welcoming him and thanking him.

Does not meet WP:GNG, and we don't appear to have an SNG for Taekwondo or general martial arts, so it's not clear whether a silver medal at the European Games should establish notability.

Even the years and countries where the competitions were held are incorrect, in some indicated years no competition was held at all, and in some cases, it was not held in the mentioned country. Generally, there are almost no sources to proof any of the facts in the article and topic doesn't pass GNG. The article has been deleted on Azerbaijani Wikipedia, this is the discussion.

There was certainly fighting in the area and the Russian civil war impacted all of Azerbaijan, including Lankaran, but I cannot find anything that is called the Battle of Lankaran.
Author also created Lankaran operation, I think this is an unneeded CFORK of this article, as it stands the main section of the article is a duplicate of Lankaran operation#Overthrow of Bolshevik power with the background and conclusion points covered in other areas of the article.
Article is based on a single source,
Süleymanov, Mehman (1998). Azərbacan Ordusu (1918–1920). Baku: hərbi Nəşriyyatı.
I can find no information on the publisher other than it is the ""Military Publishing House" of the Ministry of Defense and is described as "one of the ideological branches"."[1]. Based on this I think this fails WP:IS.
Lankaran operation has significant problems of its own, and is based on the single source, but it summarizes the period in Lankaran operation#Overthrow of Bolshevik power.

This biography of an Olympic athlete was created under earlier sports notability guidelines, but no longer satisfies Olympic notability because the subject did not receive a medal. It does not satisfy general notability because it does not describe what third parties have written. The only reference is a database entry.
Comment Would it not be easier to ask the creator directly for improvement when you don't even want it deleted? Anyway, a three-time Olympian, three-time World Championship participant, Balkan champion and nine-time national champion (in a country that holds a high level in athletics) meets WP:SPORTCRIT with the most flying of flying colours, so it's just a matter of finding the good stuff. Geschichte (talk) 10:13, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Actually, the article fails WP:SPORTCRIT, prong 5: "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources." Cbl62 (talk) 23:07, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Cbl62, thank you for your nomination. It may have failed SPORTCRIT point #5, but that is contradicted by WP:BASIC, which says that as long as sources have received significant coverage, they can be notable enough for a Wikipedia article – regardless of whether or not that coverage is explicitly linked in the article at any given moment.
The subject clearly meets WP:NATH as a multi-time national champion, which gives us a presumption of those sources existing. That presumption was correct, but nobody has found them in the past ten days because the subject had a wrong name recorded here – his Bulgarian name is not Bulgarian: Николай Атанасов, but Bulgarian: Николай Атанасов-Джоко. Searching for the former brings up no relevant results except for Olympedia (which also has the wrong name), searching for the latter brings up many: "Николай Атанасов-Джоко". I added some of the top results to the article, including significant newspaper coverage. I have fixed the name and will be voting to keep, though I will note that even if we weren't so lucky that Atanasov had a post-Internet career and his sources were easily searchable, he should have still been kept based on us knowing that the sources existed due to WP:NATH. --Habst (talk) 14:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment. I haven't evaluated the new Bulgarian sources added to the articlee. However, Habst's argument to nullify WP:SPORTCRIT, prong 5, lacks any basis. I drafted and proposed prong 5, and it was adopted with broad support on a community-wide RfA. It passed with knowledge that there is no general requirement that SIGCOOV actually be present in the article, but with the intention to create an exception in the case of sports biographies mandating the presence of at least one piece of SIGCOV and as a direct response to the flood of sports biographies (like the article under discussion) sourced only to databases. Unless SIGCOV is found and added, prong 5 is directly on point, and this article should not remain in main space (draftifiction until SIGCOV is found is another alternative). Cbl62 (talk) 14:17, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Cbl62, thank you for your comment and I do greatly respect your contributions to policy. Wikipedia policy is, however, ultimately decided and enforced by consensus and not by any one person even if that person is the drafter and proposer of a policy.
Per discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)#What do we do when..., the "key change" in WP:NSPORTS2022 was the removal of participation-only criteria, which does not apply to the subject because he was a national champion. Furthermore, WP:BASIC can apply to a biography even if WP:SPORTCRIT would also apply, and WP:BASIC more univerally agreed-upon by community consensus than supplemental topic-specific guidelines.
An example of a similar dynamic was at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clive Sands, where it was argued that Sands should be deleted because he fails a supplemental guideline (WP:NSPORT) while passing a more general guideline (WP:GNG). This argument wasn't considered valid, because the more general guideline still applies. --Habst (talk) 15:27, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Your one-man campaign for nullification of prong 5 is completely specious. The prong 5 proposal passed with the highest participation level and the largest majority of the votes. See closing comment: "This was the best-attended proposal and had the most agreement. There is a rough consensus that sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject. ... Supporters point out that it has the added benefit of reducing the number of one-sentence biographies based on database entries." So there you have it. You may not like prong 5, and you are free to start your own RfA to overturn it, but you can't just deny or nullify its clear language and force. Cbl62 (talk) 19:27, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Cbl62, thank you for your comment because I think debate makes Wikipedia better even when I do not agree. I actually do appreciate the value of prong 5 because I also don't want more one-sentence biographies only based on database entries; I just think it does not apply in this specific instance for the reasons above.
The point is moot anyways as there are several GNG sources both cited in the article and linked from the web search above, fulfilling the fifth prong. What do you think of the notability of the article on its own merits? --Habst (talk) 19:36, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete - This article, and the editor above, confuses the accomplishments of the band with those of one member, Chris Angel Walker. The lengthy list of awards at the bottom of the article are all for films and were received by Walker in his other career as a video director. Most of those awards are themselves non-notable and do not qualify as "significant" awards per WP:ANYBIO, even if they were relevant for the band which they're not. As for the band, I can find nothing reliable and significant about them, and the article is dependent on press releases listing their presence at various events or their own promotional statements. Finally, per WP:CHART their placement in a regional iTunes chart does not count for notability. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:21, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Simply by looking at the names of the sources at the bottom of the article, only one (#17 from France) comes anywhere close to "news" and even that's a bit of a stretch.

None of the listings on WP:MUSICRS are from Denmark. TV2 is one of the main national broadcasting stations. Verifying references against a list that only features a handful of countries is not comprehensive and extremely exclusive. Even excluding Denmark from that list is questionable. As mentioned on WP:MUSICRS itself: "This list is merely a collection of suggestions".
The references are valid, they are from actual newspapers that were published in physical form as well as in digital format. To claim that anything that is old should be deleted from wikipedia simply because those sources aren't available anymore would only allow currently popular projects to be featured as valid information.

The claim that there is nothing on streaming sites is also inaccurate, as the references clearly show, the band has has a streaming platform presence since 2013. Not all ref sources are necessary, but all the necessary sources from newspapers and independent media are listed as required.

Falls short of WP:NSKATE having only gotten medals in junior competitions below the level of the World Junior Figure Skating Championships. I was unable to find significant coverage in secondary sources online having searched for both members of this duo, despite coming across many photos of the same. With the exact same sources used in each article, we definitely do not need two separate articles for each of the skaters, but ultimately I'm unable to find sufficient coverage to establish that they even meet WP:GNG in aggregate. signed, Rosguilltalk 15:21, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Draftify - This article seems to be google-translated from the Spanish or Catalan original. The syntax is garbled and almost incomprehensible. But it does seem to be an article about the term and concept "Pyreneism" as used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, rather than about mountaineering the Pyrenees generally - i.e. it's about the self-conscious culture and literary tradition around the practice rather than the practice generally. The sources seem good if slightly tending to WP:OR. BUT we can't have an article that is completely incoherent to read. The prose and syntax are a disaster.

The lengthy list of awards at the bottom of the article are all for films and were received by Walker in his other career as a video director. Most of those awards are themselves non-notable and do not qualify as "significant" awards per WP:ANYBIO, even if they were relevant for the band which they're not. As for the band, I can find nothing reliable and significant about them, and the article is dependent on press releases listing their presence at various events or their own promotional statements. Finally, per WP:CHART their placement in a regional iTunes chart does not count for notability. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:21, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This article was created in October 2023 by CU blocked sockpuppet Nugoooo.[4] 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[5]-[6]
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.[7]
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).

The show does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NPODCAST. While doing a BEFORE, I'm mostly seeing listicles with short descriptions of the show.

Weak keep. The sources in the article might not show notability, but a Google search brings up a ton of results in Vietnamese media.

Lengyel does not meet the specific criteria for notability of musicians: he was a member of Mr. Bungle, but criterion 6 requires having been a "reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles". I have been unable to find much coverage of his time with the band, and it's not fully independent (such as the semi-official history of the band); such sources as there are disagree on what year he left. The article was started in 2005, and in December 2023 I found it containing uncited specifics and the only reference on his career being a dead reference for a disparaging quote. I searched for sources and rewrote it like this. (Morbidthoughts has since removed the sources on his career as insufficiently reliable for a BLP, after I noted the article at the BLP noticeboard.) The impetus for my edit was that he was in the news as a suspect in the disappearance of his girlfriend. Since then her body has been found, and he has been arrested and is being held on murder charges. I had meanwhile redirected the article to Mr. Bungle, but the news coverage led .usarnamechoice to revert that redirection on January 4. There have been several news articles. In addition to the SFGate article we are currently citing for his being a person of interest, there are The Santa Cruz Sentinel and NBC News. In addition to SFGate and Pitchfork that we currently cite for his arrest and the murder charge, there are The San Francisco Chronicle, the Associated Press, the Los Angeles Times, and The New York Times. The latest news I can find is on a second deferment of his arraignment, Santa CruzSentinel, January 16. The vast majority of this coverage is based on police announcements; for example, the statement that he has also gone by Mylo Stone, which I have been unable to corroborate—there is a younger musician called Mylo Stone who is a UK rapper, so I have recently reverted addition of that reported alias to the article. The LA Times article describes Lengyel's vehicle and gives its license plate. But that and the Mr. Bungle sources are pretty much it for biographical details; we know more about his girlfriend, thanks to coverage like that Santa Cruz Sentinel article. So the article is in effect a WP:BLP1E and bad from a WP:BLPCRIME point of view. The two claims of notability are both inadequate and don't add up to enough for an article. It would be pure WP:CRYSTAL to hold that the legal case will eventually provide sufficient coverage to overcome the "one event" problem, or lead a music journalist to write about his music career. So although this discussion will take up the time of members of the community, I believe that this biography of a living person needs to be deleted.

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.

A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:
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 second book in the series from Irish writer AJ Healy starts just after Tommy and his four knight friends have been captured by gangster Nack Jikilson - and when they escape he follows them across the galaxy. ... Tommy Storm is not a particularly likeable character, and although this book is riddled with intelligent crossreferences meant to amuse, it just comes across as though it's trying too hard to impress. Billed as a comedy adventure, it's not that funny and the adventure is confusing. However, being confusing means that it's unpredictable to the end, and it is heart-warming in parts."
The review notes: "Tommy Storm and the Galactic Knights (Quercus, £6.99) is a sequel (but of course) to Tommy Storm, and its narrator helpfully advises readers that they can skip the generous footnotes and information boxes. The book is crammed with characters with names such as A-Sad-Bin-Liner and the kind of smart-alec ripostes, puns (there's a Straddlevarious violin) and exclamations that many youngsters find hilarious. You will get the drift if I tell you that Tommy and Co outwit a monster and mount an offensive against chocolate terrorists to save the universe."
The author's websiteInternet Archive notes: "The Sunday Tribune included Tommy Storm and the Galactic Knights in its Top-Ten list of "the best crossover reads" - being "books that parents can sneak a look at while the kids are doing their homework. Fables that work on one level for kids, and on a mythic level for adults. Books that engage on the kind of emotional plane that some adult novels can only aspire to. And so, in the wake of the Potter and Twilight sagas, here are 10 of the best books to get all ages squabbling this Christmas over who gets to read them first." Tommy Storm and the Galactic Knights is, they say, "an enjoyable romp, full of fizz and humour.""
Doesn't pass WP:NAUTHOR. The only citations provided are reviews for the first book in a series, and most of the information on the author page is about his first book, Tommy Storm and the accompanying series. I have looked for other sources for reviews of the other books, as well as sources discussing Healy, but haven't found any. If sources can't be found, I recommend redirecting to his one notable book, Tommy Storm. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:18, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.
The article notes: "Against the advice of the careers department at UCD, he decided to travel the world for a while. After globetrotting fromAmerica to Australia and lots of places in between, he came back to Dublin with a loan to pay off. ... He went from a poverty-stricken life of travel to earning “almost immoral” amounts working for investment bank Goldman Sachs in London. ... He stayed on for two years though, saving money and gaining important experience. ... After his adventures in Africa, Healy returned to Dublin in 1998 to try his hand at venture capital and thedot.com boom, getting involved in “various vaguely entrepreneurial things”. After September 11, things changed and he lost interest. He remembered his promise to himself about writing a book. He’d started writing a murder mystery in South Africa and half-heartedly sent it to a few publishers, but it wasn’t the finished article. In March 2002, the writing bug struck again."
The article notes: "The Healy family was a small and close-knit one, because when Alan was five and Ronan was two, their parents' marriage ended, and father Michael left the family home in Deansgrange and emigrated. He is currently based in Thailand, and maintains a good relationship with his sons. ... After school, Alan completed a B Comm, and took a job as an analyst in mergers and acquisitions with investment banking and securities firm Goldman Sachs, in London. Although it was a very well-paid and prestigious job, he knew it wasn't going to be a perfect fit for him long-term, and left after two years. He then entered what he describes as his "idealistic phase", where he went to help start a brick factory in one of South Africa's townships for two years. His adventures there included being held up at gunpoint during a robbery on wages day, a detail he only casually mentioned to his family when he was home for Christmas two months later."
The article notes: "Tommy Storm, which was written in 2002 and self-published by Mr Healy in 2006, ties in with the Dubliner's ambition to make the world a better place. Another was his decision to set up Exergyn, along with Barry Cullen and Kevin O'Toole, about three years ago. ... Mr Healy has tried his hand at many things over his working life - from investment banking in Goldman Sachs, London to setting up a brick factory in a township in South Africa, to business consulting,to writing Tommy Storm."
The article notes: "I meet quietly-spoken, Dublin-based author Alan Healy on a torrentially wet day in a hotel off Bond Street. ... I realise the writer of teen sci-fi adventure Tommy Storm is younger than I imagined. The fair haired writer is 39 (and married, with a 13 month old girl) but for some reason I expected him to be older. Perhaps it’s hearing about all the jobs and experience he’s had in that time. He stays at jobs for such little time that he assures me no bank manager will ever give him a loan. After travelling for a year, then earning big bucks in Goldman Sachs, Healy went to Africa to set up a brick factory in one of the townships, helping locals build homes."

Comment. In all honesty, after my own WP:BEFORE, and while I am not minded to recommend deletion, I also can't advocate for a keep. Many of the sources that are available (including those listed by Oaktree b above) are largely trivial passing mentions. The only sources that I can find, which deal with the subject as a primary topic, are the same WP:INTERVIEWs we have in the article. Neither meeting the expectation of WP:IS. The regional news articles, which include the subject in the title and seem to offer a bit more (like "Mary Staunton brings top trad to the stage" (2010) Mayo Advertiser) are, in effect, ROTM gig announcements. Not in-depth/independent/biographical coverage. The (one-off?) collaboration with Prine/Gleeson/Epping doesn't meet my understanding of WP:MUSICBIO#C6 (musicians play on each other's albums all the time - it does not make them an "ensemble" in the meaning given in WP:BAND). "She once collaborated with someone famous" is, I note, the first example given in WP:INHERITED. And, as has been noted by Boleyn, the related assertion/text isn't wasn't supported by a verifiable/independent source either. Anyway, even though it seems like the article is unlikely to be deleted (and I'm not necessarily arguing that it should), as noted by others contributing here, the sources/etc are a little on the "weak" side. To the extent that, if kept, I do not know how that "WP:PRIMARY" tag can be removed.

Redirect either to Qatargate or Emma Bonino. It's hopeful to think that this nomination will reach a consensus when nothing about the subject has changed since the first discussion closed four days ago. As a courtesy note, Wiki-etiquette (WP:BEFORE) asks that we Check to see if enough time has passed since previous nominations before renominating, and I'm not sure this shouldn't apply just because the previous outcome was no consensus.
It might be the inclusionist in me talking, but I think the nomination mischaracterises the available coverage: there are many reliable, independent sources that more-than-mention the organisation. Here are some of the sources that came up from a quick search, a few in well-established Italian newspapers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Despite this coverage, my quick searches lead me to believe that the organisation is mostly discussed in the context either of Qatargate (search results) or its founder, Emma Bonino. Nonetheless, searching around the NGO's areas of activity (e.g., FGM) does return some results. So, while I think there is probably just about enough in the sources to meet WP:GNG and justify a standalone article on the NGO, sadly, I suspect no editor will be interested in rewriting this article: Qatargate has an outdated tag, Emma Bonino didn't link to the organisation until a few seconds ago (and that article says nothing about Qatargate), and the organisation's website seems to be down, which makes me wonder if things were wrapped up after Qatargate. The present article is uncited and likely WP:OR, with a previous editor declaring a WP:COI on the talk page. So a redirect to Qatargate or Emma Bonino, without prejudice to the page's recreation as a standalone article should an interested editor take part, strikes me as most appropriate.

Merge into Palazzo Barbarigo Minotto. Notability concern aside, the article has a promotional tone, most obviously in the Reviews section. For this reason, the entry on the Italian-language Wikipedia was speedily-deleted two months after the English-language page was created, and has not been recreated. Though it sounds like the article might meet WP:GNG by its coverage in reviews, a subheading in Palazzo Barbarigo Minotto, appropriate because the group rents a floor of this building, may be sufficient and prevent a WP:PERMASTUB. Finally, let's not overlook that the group's name is, literally, music in the palace. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 19:36, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Does not meet WP:GNG. The best example of coverage cited thus far is this coverage in Latvian, but it does not make a case for GNG in itself; I was unable to find additional independent coverage other than interviews, database entries, and trivial mentions in match writeups, having searched in English/Latvian and also Russian. signed, Rosguilltalk 16:53, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment Two of the redlinks were recently created and were immediately draftified for lack of sources demonstrating notability. Even so, it can always be recreated if articles about people with the name come along in the future. And what if an article can't be expanded? Like I said, I can hardly find reliable sources online.

Reply What's inherently wrong is that it's not notable. I can't find any reliable sources that contain information not already in the article. If you think it can be improved, why don't you do it?

As I did elsewhere, I'll call attention to WP:IAR, a policy which also exists, and associated policies. I'd say that some of the policies mentioned here are getting in the way of maintaining a quality encyclopedia and are increasing the bureaucracy and probably having the effect of discouraging editing on what is supposed to be a free encyclopedia created by collaborative volunteers. There are likely ways to improve this article without deleting it altogether. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 17:50, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Notability is pretty arbitrary as is, admittedly, my perception that it is notable and useful. If it’s factually wrong, of course it should be corrected or improved, amended, etc. . If someone just doesn’t think it fits the guidelines (which have never been set in stone), maybe someone should take a closer look at whether that guideline is actually useful. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 03:57, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Reply There may be some room for arbitrary-ness, yes, but I think these articles pretty blatantly fail the guidelines. I guess you're right that they've never been set in stone, but these ones have been used and widely accepted for some years now. AfDs aren't a roundabout way to challenged guidelines/policies either. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 04:56, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
WP:IAR and its related policies are also policies like the ones you’re quoting here and they are intended to keep legalism from getting in the way of creating or maintaining an encyclopedia. I assume we agree that articles that are unreferenced or are factually incorrect should be deleted if the information can’t be corrected and linked to reliable sources. We might disagree over what constitutes a reliable source as we do on notability, but that’s the standard I would say is set in stone. The information must be accurate. As far as I can discern, this article and the others you want to delete are indeed accurate and can probably be improved upon, which makes deleting them inappropriate under a reasonable standard. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 17:26, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Reply Yes, we agree on the second part. Accuracy is set in stone, yes, but as is notability. Notability may be a bit more subjective and flexible, but it is a cornerstone of Wikipedia and current guidelines are generally community consensus. They could change in the future but that possibility doesn't make it appropriate to keep them now. On a side note, I feel like this page is getting butchered by the length of this debate.

WP:IAR is also one of the foundational rules here and I would say deleting an article that could potentially be improved will get in the way of maintaining a quality encyclopedia.

Reply Yes, I agree that IAR is an important rule, but I don't find it any less arbitrary than notability; in fact, it is probably more so. As I've said before, improving an article is only an option if the subject is notable, which these subjects, when comparing them to criteria laid out by the project and approved by the community, I do not believe meet those guidelines. I am not a deletionist nor an inclusionist; I simply look at the rules and attempt to get people to enforce them, I do not discriminate against users, and I know hardliners who would have wanted many more of your articles deleted, but I do not. Wikipedia just isn't a collection of indiscriminate information, trivia or definitions. As I see it, we're at a deadlock. You wouldn't want an article made on every name in existence, would you?

Merge to Anica, of which this is a regional variation (see Stuart Wilson (2015). Simply the Best Baby Name Book. p. 55. ISBN1447265971.). There are a wide variety of names derived from diminutives of the classic Greek name Anna, including this one as well as Ancia, Anka, Anika, and Anicka. Information about these names can be presented in a single place, and, importantly, does not require the presence of a notable person with the name for the name itself to be notable.

I don't think much more information is needed. It is obviously a name in use, with a sourceable etymology connecting it to another name sharing that etymology. If not merged, I would opt to keep rather than delete altogether. The presence of notable people sharing an attested name should be of no more significance than the presence or absence of notable people living in an attested town.

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.

Keep or Merge. The Discogs page cited by the nominator gives 30 releases, almost every one of which was put out by an artist of some note. That suggests the label meets WP:MUSIC's sense of one of the more important indies. However, a goodly number of them are by the founders of the label, the brothers Tore Johansen and Roger Johansen, both of whom, you'll note, have articles. So a merge makes some sense - but so does keeping, since the eventual redirect to one or the other musician awkwardly excludes the other, and so pragmatically a separate article kind of makes more sense.

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
This article is hard to understand. What it looks like, though, is a puff piece. WP:PEACOCK concerns are always fixable, but the real concern here is WP:RS. Can RS be located with community input? What I can state for certain, is that no person named Mustafe Ismail or Mustafe Haji is known in Norway in the slightest, yielding 0 hits in the nation's comprehensive media archive. On the other hands, there are considerable problems of how his name should be translated, and the article has already been through a disputed move. Unless the community has fruitful input, my opinion is that it's too indiscernable what makes him pass WP:GNG with WP:RS. Geschichte (talk) 14:13, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Weak keep. If I'm reading the source on the PlWiki article correctly, this individual also seems to have been awarded the Portuguese Order of Merit in 2009 (before his death), and there's also some coverage of him in 2009 in Wiadomosci regarding alleged collaboration with the Communist regime. On the scholarly/diplomatic side, he appears to be mentioned by name on multiple occasions in a speech by the President ofEstonia, he led a Delegation between Poland and Turkey, met with Syrian officials on behalf of the Poles, and performed other diplomatic functions. There some coverage of his analysis on the Partnership for Peace that I can find, and he appears to have been awarded the Freedom House's Palmer Prize (see list). Aside from all that, there's a fairly in-depth article from 1996 in The Jewish Voice about his work regarding Polish-Jewish reconciliation (as well as a fewJTA pieces that also refer to this). And of course there's also the flurry of coverage around the time of his death; many of these sources are in the PlWiki article already, and WP:SIGCOV is easily met. What this all makes clear is that we have a case here where it's clearly not WP:1E, and where we have significant coverage by multiple independent RS.WP:NOTMEMORIAL states Subjects of encyclopedia articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements. Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others who do not meet such requirements. But this person easily meets WP:ANYBIO#1 for the Polish and Portuguese state honors, and also meets WP:NBASIC, so NOTMEMORIAL is not violated. On top of that, I think there's substantial enough coverage that an article can be written about him in a standalone fashion, so I see no need to redirect or merge. — Red-tailed hawk(nest) 04:40, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I couldn't find any significant coverage of this bobsleigh athlete, even in Polish. The best I could find is biography, but I don't think the source is reliable. He also never had medal record.
It's also strange that the Polish Wikipedia is actually linked to basketball player of the same name and birth year, instead of the correct one. Corresponding article of bobsleigh athlete Paweł Mróz is likewise a stub without major changes since its last editing in 2022: Neither of the two sources cover Pawel Mroz himself... only brief mentions. Otherwise, it would copy over English Wikipedia.
Given that bobsleigh athlete Paweł Mróz is almost 40 years old, his career is probably over and he might never make anymore comeback in bobsleigh tournament.
Comment There's his bio at the Polish Olympic Committee website, there this interview a local site from where he's from had with him. Rest are mostly tangential mentions that he was on the team that got disqualified in 2014.

Weak 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. Normally for listed companies we can locate detailed analyst reviews (which do more than report on stock price listings and forecasts and which analyse their business) which are a gold standard for notability but I cannot find anything for this company. The references posted by Mlepicki fails ORGIND as they rely entirely on information provided by the company and interviews with their execs with no "Independent Content" and fails CORPDEPTH and ORGIND.

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]
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.
@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.

I have been slowly but surely improving the page text and its references, and I feel I have brought it to a point that might - hopefully - grant your review of at least two of the previous status. Given I am a novice, I am not sure of the protocol to deal with them and prefer to err on the safe side by not touching them myself, although I saw somewhere that one might be allowed to.
It might be that we have hit an interesting issue: my thinking for building an English page for a Portuguese visual artist and for a Norwegian Historian, is grounded on the belief that English is the "national language" of the larger internet. I am aware that both Norwegian and Portuguese have their own wikipedia areas, seemingly with their own sets of granular standards (I've seen pages in both languages that would probably not pass an acid test in an English wikipedia).
When building a set of references - on those subjects - one is quickly drawn into a curious observation: most if not all references are in the subject's language, which will create a barrier for people who - like you - have the kindness to part with time and brainpower to evaluate the page.
On the other hand, known reference engines seem to give back much more detailed, richer and validated results. In this particular case of Ana Mesquita, one of the reference sites (MAAT museum, in Lisbon), where the biggest collaborative work was first presented, is known to have a poor museologic approach to artist's references and CV's on their website (it is better in loco, but there you go...). Which means that the best and most interesting reference to this work (here) is ... notably... terse.
So, in a perfect worid, one or both of you guys (or anyone else kind enough) would guide me a bit on the former issue and think a bit about the latter - all in all, the fact that English is the "offical language of global culturally relevant internet" while also being the official language of two of the most culturally relevant countries of the 20th and 21st centuries should align benignly... with your help?
@Port norw, Non-English sources are fine, as long as they can be verified. I'm familiar with the MAAT museum in Lisbon, and I see from the press release you added that she showed there with Gil and Couto, but am not finding that she is in their permanent collection. Please link here the three very best independent reviews of her work. Independent means written by a completely unconnected, non-affiliated source (rather than a sponsoring organization, or a gallery who sells or exhibits her work), and not a press release or a show announcement or her own website. WP needs secondary sources, like reviews on her in a newspaper or magazine article, or a chapter in a book, that are significant coverage in a WP:RS - more than a mention or a few sentences. If you can find three solid, in-depth, independent reviews, she'd pass WP:GNG or 2 or 3 notable museum or national gallery permanent collections, she'd pass WP:NARTIST in English Wikipedia. (Other things that contribute to notability on en-Wiki but those are the two that are usually most easily found in online searches). These should not be things scheduled for the future. Note that each language WP has different standards and criteria for inclusion. So she might qualify for an article in Portuguese Wikipedia. Also I noticed some of the sources are "dead links" check to see if you can update any of the URLs for sources that come up "page not found".

I brought this to AFD because I proposed this for deletion due to how easy it is to demonstrate this subject has no significant coverage. Which is to say, no reliable sources say this natural feature is important. WP:Geoland confers no special status for natural features and they need to meet WP:N to be stand alone subjects. An editor, added some sources that are not significant coverage of the topic and in some cases don't cover the subject at all. In an effort to make the article longer the editor added other subjects that now occupy more space in the article than the original subject. This was because there are almost no sources about the gas field available. The editor then removed the prod tag. None of the current sources on the article, nor any that I can find say this gas field stands out from the rest as particularly important. And, there are no reliable sources that are written specifically about this subject. James.folsom (talk) 19:57, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep As I indicated in my summary when I removed the delete template after working on improving this article and saving it from the chopping block, the Târnăveni gas field is a historically significant gas field, which has supplied natural gas to the oldest and largest chemical factory in Romania (the Târnăveni Nitrogen Plant). This is attested in several references that I added, including a CIA report from 1950 dedicated to the factory and the nearby Târnăveni gas field, which supplied gas through a pipeline for running the factory. As I also mentioned in the article, this gas was used to produce for the first time in Romania (in 1922) hydrogen from water and gas. Despite the above (rather ungracious) claim, this is not in an effort to make the article longer, but rather, to add historically relevant context for the nascent natural gas industry in interwar Romania, which by the late 1930s had reached third place worldwide (after the US and the Soviet Union) in natural gas production, with the Târnăveni gas field playing a significant role in the process.

Show me which one specifically says this gas field is an important subject. And, wrong individual sources are what confer significant coverage.

I agree, the chemical factory deserves an article by itself. It has a pretty fascinating history, starting with production of chemical munitions in WWI (for the Central Powers), and pioneering the development of the Petrochemical industry in Romania in the interwar, its role in the war effort in WWII, its further expansion in the communist era, only to be closed a few years ago. But I spent too much time already trying to expand and source these articles on the Romanian gas fields, with even the first and famous one being proposed for deletion, or arguably the top two ones (here and here) being pursued for deletion, while another one, the Zau de Câmpie gas field article, with 20 references by now, is being relentlessly criticized and eyed for the chopping block. So yes, I may create an article of that sort at some point when I get some free time, but not under these conditions, which are not at all conducive to positive development of Wikipedia content. Turgidson (talk) 23:00, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The cherry on the top being this deletion prod, regarding the onshore gas field with the largest proven reserves in Romania, dubbed by the then-PM as "the most important discovery" since the fall of communism, etc, which was characterized (before my work to seriously research the topic, and expand and improve the article) as "Not sustained coverage, non notable per WP:N" by someone who claims expertise in finding references to articles in this topic, deciding what's notable and what is not, what gets significant coverage and what does not, all sprinkled with snide comments like those here and here. All done with some artificial 1-week deadlines, which first were easy to miss, since I only very rarely edited articles on gas fields before, leading to some being completely gone before I could even look at them, especially with mass prods, ADFs, and deletions going on within dozens of articles at a time. Hardly the way to go, in my opinion. Turgidson (talk) 05:20, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment I was going to let that personal attack go, but realized I should probably explain for the benefit of participants in the AFD. When I start a WP:before on these stubs, I check the given references for significance and remove any dead ones. If none of those references are significant coverage, I also tag the article so that others can review it. I'm not always perfect on getting it tagged, but I try because it's important to alert others about it. Then I do a WP:before myself, if I find anything remotely significant I move on and leave the tag so that others know to evaluate it. If its extremely obvious that there is no significant coverage I wikipedia boldly propose it for deletion. It's not true that this process doesn't have oversight because the tags are publicized and others can double check me. Turgidson has been removing the sig coverage tags inappropriately because he doesn't understand what significant coverage is. Because of this when I was wrapping up on the Romanian ones I couldn't always tell which were left to be checked. I checked all those again, and where the first time I checked that particular one I had skipped proposing deletion because of that source, the second time I didn't see it.James.folsom (talk) 18:53, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment So asserting that I have no idea what Wikipedia policies and guidelines on sourcing are (after 52K edits over 17 years of wiki editing), or suggesting I better try shopping a Romania-related article missing from ro.wiki to see how it fares there (!) is not a personal attack, but pointing that out is? Or maybe pointing out this relentless drive for mass deletions of Romanian gas fields articles, without affording me (or perhaps also other editors who may want to join in) a decent amount of time to assess the situation and see whether they can be expanded and properly sourced is a "personal attack"? Or perhaps pointing out the categorical claims in those many prods that there is no recent mention of the topic (that was in the first batch of prods), only to switch later to there is no significant mention, or no notability, or no mention with subject in the title, etc, which most times turned out to be not the case, after a bit of research on my part? Maybe if you tried once (only once!) to improve one of these articles, instead of constantly criticizing them, you'll get a better appreciation of the work involved in creating such content, and become more open-minded about what "significant coverage" means in this context, where history, economy, geography, geology, technology, politics, etc mix in not always the most straightforward way. Of course, a currently highly productive gas field or oil field opened in the last decade or two will have much more coverage than, say, those Transylvanian gas fields that opened before WWI and had their glory days in the 1930s or the 1950s (when there was no internet, and written mentions from those times are almost always not readily available, at least not through a banal Google search), though almost all those gas fields are still productive to this day. Speaking of wiki guidelines, maybe WP:RECENTISM would be relevant in better assessing the situation. Turgidson (talk) 21:09, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment AB's suggestion is acceptable to me.James.folsom (talk) 23:30, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I searched for any news, books or other info to establish the notability of this gas field. Finding none, I proposed it for deletion. This was objected to and claims of adding important info were made. I redirected it to a relevant table, and it was undone. Again with claims of adding important information. I then tagged it for lacking significant coverage, that tag was removed no reason given. The information in the article now is derived from 6 sources. Here's a summary of those: In the first reference it is mentioned once in passing and is not the subject of the paragraph in which it is mentioned. In the second reference, it's mentioned twice in passing and is not the subject of the article. In the third reference it is mentioned once in passing, not as the subject. I can't translate the fourth reference but it is clearly from 1922 and is presented in the article as a reliable source for data in 2009 and 2010. The fifth reference is just a data sheet from a financial report or something. The sixth reference mentions it in passing, but it is not the subject of the source. None of these sources nor any of the info in the WP article say anything at all about this field being important in any way. So they don't establish significance, Wikipedia:Credible_claim_of_significance, and gas fields are not covered very well by any policy. WP:GEO wants clear evidence of importance. I assert that it is a non notable run of the mill gas field with outdated info and should be deleted not redirected. Thus I submit it to AFD. James.folsom (talk) 20:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep. The article pertains to one of the oldest gas fields in Europe (discovered in 1914, continuously exploited since 1920), with a well-documented history, both in the academic press (e.g., Annals of the University of Oradea, Romanian Review of Regional Studies), news organizations articles (e.g., RFE/RL, MSNews), and various government and industry press releases, for a total of 10 references so far. This is not a "run of the mill" gas field; rather, it is one of the very few oil fields in Europe more than 100 years old (that's why it has references going back to 1922) and still in operation, at the center of an area that produces some 3/4 of Romania's natural gas output (itself 3rd in Europe after Holland and UK). The importance of the field to the economy of Romania is highlighted in a (restricted) CIA report from 1948 (made public in 2011), which mentions it specifically, devoting a whole paragraph to the Zau de Câmpie gas field. Furthermore, it is not at all the case that the information contained in the article is "outdated": there are several references from 2018–2022, some of them referring to current output, means of gas extraction or compression (62 drilling rigs in operation, new compressor), and fairly current (2017) estimates of reserves and prospects for further production extended up to 2029. Turgidson (talk) 16:28, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Apologies I realized I misspoke, by omitting details around my outdated comment. So I will explain. The article contains information about who operates it and what it's annual output are, and things like what compressor it uses, how many wells it currently has. These sorts of details wouldn't be found in article about a notable subject because there would be better things to talk about in the article, and these things change from one year to the next so they would be out of date unless someone is constantly updating that. There are literally hundred of other articles about gas fields, and even more about oil fields, that are just like this. Who is going to keep all these trivial numbers updated annually? Furthermore the people who would want this info is not going to come to Wikipedia for. It's out place, but the problem is if you get rid of it there is no article.
Comment It's true there are now ten 11 references, and some of them actually mention this place. None of them state this is an important gas field. At least one of the sources points out that being and old gas field is a bad thing. None of the provided references are significant coverage. I've thoroughly looked and I know there isn't any. Here's a breakdown of the claimed important coverage:
The 11th reference is just a trade journal reporting on agreements being renewed and only mentions this field in passing.
The 10th is just basic statistics probably from a financial report.
The ninth reference is dated 1922, and is used as a source for info from 2009-2010. I can't translate it.
The eighth reference mentions this gas field in passing as part of a larger important area. But doesn't state it is of any special value.
The seventh, is the cia report, It's the only source in this batch that even uses the word 'Important'. But it's not referring to this gas field, but a well in the field. The report is merely summarizing the gas resources in Romania and doesn't single this one out as particularly important.
The fifth just talks about drilling somewhere, it was a routine church announcement.
The Sixth, doesn't mention this gas field, and is an article that states that gas resources in Romania are now headed toward depletion due to the long period of exploitation.
The fourth, lists it as a gas field but has nothing else to say.
The third article doesn't mention it.
The second article just states what gas compressor it uses.
The first reference mentions it in passing once, in a discussion about the first gas pipline.
There's nothing here to establish this as a stand alone article.
Comment It's probably worth considering that the Romanian language Wikipedia has this article https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zau_de_C%C3%A2mpie,_Mure%C8%99, but it's about the village in the area the gas field is named for. It also has this article about the larger region containing the gas field https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comuna_Zau_de_C%C3%A2mpie,_Mure%C8%99. Neither of these mention the gas field. There is also this article https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gazele_naturale_%C3%AEn_Rom%C3%A2nia on natural gas in Romania. That article mentions several important gas fields in Romania. This one is not on that list. Furthermore, despite the stated importance of those gas fields there are no articles about them to be found on the Romanian Wikipedia. So you can rely on the fact that even Romanians don't care about this one. And, they clearly don't want articles about gas fields. If this is such great gas field, how come nobody on the Romanian Wikipedia thought to write about it? Maybe I should change my vote to "move it to the Romanian Wikipedia"? Since they need an article on this very important gas field. Then we'll see how fast they delete it.James.folsom (talk) 20:43, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
disagree with nomination as the article has a clear claim of importance. Probably any gas field is important, but this one more so since it has been going over 100 years. I will not have comment on notability. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:05, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep per the provided sources, passes WP:GNG, and i'd say "one of the oldest gas fields in Europe" is a credible claim of significance. Wheather sources are from last week or 200 years old dosen't really matter. Sources don't explicitly have to highlight the subject as being especially "important" to establish notability.
"article contains information about who operates it and what it's annual output are, what compressor it uses, how many wells it currently has. These sorts of details wouldn't be found in article about a notable subject because there would be better things to talk about in the article." Those would be first things to talk about in an article about oil/gas fields?
Wheather articles about the topic exist or dosen't exist in other projects dosen't matter for notability in the English WP. --TheImaCow (talk)
The first red flag was that the article spent more words on a general history of gas production in Romania as a whole and didn't even get to the specific subject until over halfway through the body. The second red flag comes from checking out the sources. It turns out that sources that talk about the "CENTRU region" or the Transylvanian Basin gas production as a whole, and that include this subject as one item in a list at one point in the source, have had all of the other locations stripped out. For examples:
The Tofan source, supporting the introduction, actually says "Transilvaniei Plain" and this subject is in a list "Zau de Câmpie, Șincai and Delenii" and not specifically singled out.
The Crețu source, supporting where the article body actually gets around to this subject, talks about the "CENTRU region" and on the page supporting the content this subject is merely one in a list "Nades, Zaul de Campie, Bogata, Saros, Singiorgiu de Campie, Seleus, ZăuŞăulia, Mădăraş, Sărmăşel, Cetatea de Balta, Tauni, Porumbenii Mari, Avramesti, Mugeni, etc." Yes, etc. even!
The MS News source doesn't even narrow down to this subject in its list. "Păingeni, Saușa, Zau de Câmpie – Saulia și, Săbed" it says. So it's not Zau de Câmpie but Zau de Câmpie–Saulia.
It turns out that the Romanian government's Annex A (of what document, the source citation doesn't say) says Zau de Câmpie–Saulia too. It's even in the title in the citation. So this article has even narrowed the few sources that seem on-point to a narrower subject. And it's not apparent, since this is Annex A in its own PDF file in the uploads section of a Wordpress site, who the author of Annex A is.
It's not that this is run-of-the-mill. Everything is run-of-the-mill and dull to somebody. It's that the world's knowledge of the entire Transylvanian Basin's gas production has been lopsidedly presented under the subject of just one of the things that most of the sources (in the article, and the ones that I could find after some looking around for geological reports and the like) just include in laundry lists of places where gas wells are, and don't directly discuss in depth as a specific standalone topic.

The article now mentions a PhD thesis from 1929 (by geologist Augustin Vancea [ro], a future corresponding member of the Romanian Academy), which specifically mentions in the title "with a special description of the natural gas dome from Zaul de Câmpie (Moinești)", Moinești being an alternate name for the village, briefly adopted after 1926, but then abandoned. The work is quoted in a 2010 PhD thesis from Babeș-Bolyai University by Liana Spulber, where additional context can be found. Finally, as briefly mentioned in a previous comment of mine, the Zau de Câmpie gas field is specifically mentioned as being important to the Romanian economy, in a full, standalone paragraph from a 1948 CIA report, itself based on an August 15, 1948 article in the official PCR publication, Scînteia (I tried to dig out the original Scînteia piece, but it's behind a paywall).

CommentImprovments were made to the article since AFD started. I've reviewed them and have new analysis. The article is no longer about the gas field. In order to expand the article without having significant coverage, the editor has incorporated a bunch material about Romanian gas production and gas production around the world. Only ~half of the sources, and text in this article is actually about the gas field. This makes the article longer, but not better. In checking all the sources, none of them are written about this gas field, many mention it in lists, tables and in passing. But, they are all written about another subject. None of those passing mentions single out this gas field as special. WP:Sigcov/Wikipedia:Credible_claim_of_significance is one of the plainest policies that WP has, and according to that, even this article is no longer significant coverage of the topic. Most every mention of the name of this gas field in this wiki article are passing mentions. I will leave you with examples. Here is an example of a notable gas field, Darvaza_gas_crater. Those who want to see what significant coverage of a gas field looks like may try this: https://www.offshore-mag.com/field-development/article/16766862/perla-gas-field-offshore-venezuela-enters-production.

When you say that no source mentions the subject of the article in the title, do you mean that in a literal sense (as in the mathematical concept of Empty set), or in some kind of figurative sense, or perhaps statistical sense? As clearly mentioned in the article (and reiterated in previous comments on this page), there was a whole thesis written by a geologist (later academician), whose title contains the words "with a special description of the natural gas dome from Zaul de Câmpie" (see also GoogleScholar and click on Cite).

Article is based on a single source,
Süleymanov, Mehman (1998). Azərbacan Ordusu (1918–1920). Baku: hərbi Nəşriyyatı.
I can find no information on the publisher other than it is the ""Military Publishing House" of the Ministry of Defense and is described as "one of the ideological branches"."[46]. Based on this I think this fails WP:IS.

I continue to think people are far to quick to nominate articles for deletion instead of expanding and improving them. I don't agree with the rationale behind these deletion nominations.

Keep - Clearly a widespread and common name with notable examples. WilsonP NYC (talk) 02:54, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment However common it may be, it still fails WP:NNAME and has no WP:SIGCOV. Is someone wants to make articles about people with the name, please do so. Either way it could always be recreated or refunded if articles about people with the name are written in the future.
What is the point of deleting an article that has existed for years instead of expanding or improving it? I disagree with the standard on general principle, but there are also at least four people with this name mentioned in other articles and it remains an extremely popular name in Spain, which I would argue is its main claim to notability.

ReplyUser:Bookworm857158367, The age of the article is irrelevant, and expansion is pointless if the subject isn't notable. I have not found any reliable sources that it could be expanded with. You think I don't check beforehand? I don't know what's with this assumption that everything can be expanded and left A-okay. Being mentioned in articles is not tantamount to notability, and the only person that looks like they could be notable at a glance is Barcenilla Garcia. I also wouldn't call it "extremely" popular. I know it is reasonably popular in Basque Country, but the problem lies in the sources. Like I said, it could have future WP:POTENTIAL and can always be refunded or recreated.

My opinion hasn’t changed, for the reasons given above. Continuing a circular argument probably would not be productive. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 05:59, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete - according to WP:NNAME, a name is notable if it has two or more links to Wikipedia articles of persons with that name. There is no article for anyone named Haizea on this Wikipedia. Plus, I'm not sure if the sources are reliable. One of them is just a name database website and the other doesn't seem to mention the name itself. --StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 21:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
If I may, I would like to take this chance to agree and reiterate the third sentence of my nomination statement, as well as the fact that I cannot seem to find many, if any, reliable, in-depth sources online. Pretty much all databases with dubious reliability. A name in absence of notable people bearing it is still expected to meet WP:GNG, which, based on what I can find, simply does not. It becomes indiscriminate information at that point (WP:NOTDICT). AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 04:15, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete per NNAME. There isn't even one notable Haizea. There is a Dweezil, but (fortunately) no given name article. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:25, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete. The only independent reliable secondary source is the BBC, and that's only a passing mention, which doesn't meet the notability criteria. Celia Homeford (talk) 10:10, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete: Fascinating tidbit, but not enough coverage of this individual. Even what's used is one BBC story and the rest are primary or non-RS. Oaktree b (talk) 16:12, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I am not going to offer an opinion on whether to delete or not, but I think the Dagens Nyheter article should qualify as a reliable source (I've been told it is "The NY Times of Sweden", but that could be not entirely accurate). The article is a decent-length interview about how Ladonia will continue to function after the death of Lars Vilks.
I was surprised the original article was never nominated for deletion before, so I added (what I thought) was a better written article in tone/style and added some additional references. There are quite a few more interviews and articles where she is named only as the "Queen of Ladonia" or "Queen Carolyn", like podcast appearances, radio interviews, an interview on Al Jazeera (with Prince Michael of Sealand also on the panel), and a 15 minute segment on a German TV program called Galileo. There is also a chapter on Ladonia in a Swedish book called "Mikronationer" (and she is interviewed as well as on the cover of the book), and Lars Vilks' last book before his death (Nimis) talks about her role running Ladonia. I can dig up the links to the references, though I'd rather save the effort if the article is destined for deletion anyway. Kulib (talk) 00:38, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Dagens Nyheter is a strong candidate to be seen as the newspaper of record in Sweden. It qualifies. /Julle (talk) 22:12, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment - I found a Mapping micronations (Al Jazeera, 2014) interview source. There is also a 2023 WGN Radio 720interview ("Her Majesty is the host and coordinator of the 2023 MicroCon."). The 2022 BBC source seems to be more than a passing mention because it includes biographical information with context. A redirect to Ladonia (micronation) where she is mentioned and pictured seems supported. Beccaynr (talk) 03:21, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep. "Drottningen av Ladonien: ’Vår plikt att röra oss framåt’" in Dagens Nyheter, which has been added since this was taken to AfD (and after the first couple of comments) ha longer coverage of Carolyn Shelby herself. "Utopidiplomati i ett låtsas-FN" in Ping (former magazine for sv:DIK, 20 November 2015, has slightly more than merely mentioning her in passing, but not at all the same level of information as the Dagens Nyheter article. I think the additions to the article since this discussion stared makes it keepable. /Julle (talk) 22:11, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete and redirect to the city Ludvika. We very seldom keep primary (elementary) school articles, and almost always redirect to the school district or city. This school fails WP:GNG as well as WP:NSCHOOL, and no evidence has been provided of Wikipedia:NRVE, "substantial verifiable evidence of coverage by reliable independent sources outside the organization's local area". — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 00:24, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There are no sources cited and from my searching that I did last night, I was not able to find enough sources for Höglund's bio to meet WP:GNG. However, I would encourage Swedish users (or anyone, really) to find sources as the article claims he has at least a shred of notability. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 21:37, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete: all I can find are about a politician with the same name [56] who looks too young to be this person Oaktree b (talk) 22:15, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment. There seems to have been a couple of mid-sized articles about Höglund and Thunder in newspapers like Aftonbladet and Arbetet Nyheterna in February 1995, but I can't access them without going to a university with access to the newspaper database of the Royal Library of Sweden, only see short snippets. Is there anyone who could more easily see the contents? (Also found some shorter pieces and this article, but I'm not sure they contribute towards notability at all – I'd be more interested in the articles I can't access.) /Julle (talk) 18:13, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't know if Arbitet Nyheterna is referring to the musician or the politician of the same name as mentioned in Oaktree b's comment. It would seem a bit strange for the musician to be mentioned there unless he has really strong political views. From reading your comment more closely, it does seem that AN is talking about the musician. Unfortunately I'm an American user so it would be a pain for me to fly to Sweden and attempt to read the Swedish sources. I could see Aftonbladet carrying information about him, but I don't know how much weight tabloids carry in notability. I'll have to look that up. That said, that short article looks interesting, if only I could read Swedish. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 20:40, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have made reasonably sure they refer to the right Höglund before posting, yes. (: Arbetet was a normal newspaper – most Swedish newspapers have some sort of political affiliation, but that doesn't mean they have a political focus. Aftonbladet is the most read newspaper in Sweden. Whether it's a good source might depend on the context; in an article like this, I wouldn't hesitate to use it, and I definitely think it would help point towards notability. Assuming the articles are relevant, which I can't judge without reading them – I mentioned it hoping someone who with easier access the archive would have a chance to glance at them. /Julle (talk) 21:52, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
